O dados provenientes de Sensoriamento Remoto (SR) quando integrados a Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG) permitem identificar, reduzir e reestruturar diferentes questões ambientais relacionadas ao planejamento urbano. Tratando-se de fenômenos naturais severos, como é o caso das inundações, essas questões podem envolver vidas humanas, bens materiais e infraestruturas decisivas. Nessa conjuntura, o presente trabalho desenvolveu um modelo de análise multicritério de apoio à decisão do tipo fuzzy com pesos de evidências aliado à Análise Hierárquica de Processos (AHP). As análises e aplicações do trabalho utilizaram dados e métodos de sensoriamento remoto e geoprocessamento para determinar riscos à inundação em áreas do município de Nova Lima na região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Na construção dos modelos, foram utilizadas diversas variáveis de entrada, tais como: Modelo Digital de Elevação (MDE), Declividade, Uso e Ocupação do Solo, Área de Preservação Hidrográfica Permanente, Isoietas Climáticas, Geologia e Tipo de Solo. A fuzzificação por pesos de evidência foi realizada para identificar regiões aptas e não aptas em relação à inundação para cada variável, produzindo-se mapas individuais valorados de 0 a 1. Na composição do processo, utilizou-se o método AHP na multiplicação dos mapas fuzzificados por meio de notas de especialistas e de pesquisa bibliográfica produzindo-se um mapa crítico com os níveis de susceptibilidade à inundação. A validação dos resultados do estudo foi feita por meio da comparação com dados de referência preexistentes obtidos da Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Desenvolvimento Sustentável (SEMAD), da Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerais (CPRM) e de informações locais. O processo de validação apresentou coerência de 86%, indicando a eficácia da metodologia desenvolvida. A execução simples, o baixo custo e a coerência dos resultados obtidos deixa evidente o caráter inovador da metodologia. Portanto, a identificação das áreas susceptiveis ao risco à inundação usando a metodologia fuzzy e AHP, mostrou-se importante para identificar áreas que necessitam de maior atenção do poder público e de investimentos em ações de proteção, prevenção e mitigação. Dessa forma, o estudo é uma contribuição para a gestão de riscos e desastres em áreas atingidas por inundação.

Análisis morfológico funcional de los materiales vítreos del sitio Mariano Miró, un pueblo a principios del siglo XX. (Departamento de Chapaleufú. Provincia de La Pampa. Argentina)
Authors: Pineau Virginia , Andrade Ariana , Fernandez Guadalupe , Sinka Laura 
Published: December 2022

El sitio arqueológico Mariano Miró fue un pueblo que funcionó a la vera de la estación homónima del Ferrocarril Oeste entre 1901 y 1913 aproximadamente. Fue habitado por inmigrantes europeos que poblaron el norte de la provincia de La Pampa, Argentina, luego del exterminio de los pueblos originarios.
El equipo de arqueología arribó al sitio a pedido de la Secretaría de Cultura de la provincia dado que la maestra y los alumnos de la escuela rural cercana habían expuesto algunos de los materiales hallados en superficie en la Feria de Ciencias Provincial.
Desde 2011 se realizaron tareas arqueológicas donde se recuperaron objetos de diversas materias primas. En primer lugar, se determinó un área de 39.200 m2 a partir de la dispersión de los materiales en superficie. Luego se trazaron 14 transectas en sentido oeste-este divididas en 7 sectores. Allí se pasó el detector de metales para determinar concentraciones subsuperficiales y se recolectaron los materiales de superficie. Finalmente, se realizaron 23 sondeos, 2 cuadrículas y 3 trincheras.
Los objetos de vidrio representan un amplio porcentaje entre lo recuperado en los sitios arqueológicos históricos. Los materiales analizados en este trabajo provienen de las colecciones arqueológicas (de excavación y de superficie). A partir de un análisis morfológico funcional de 12.501 fragmentos vítreos de ambas colecciones y de fuentes históricas, tales como publicidades de la época, nos proponemos analizar las transformaciones en las prácticas de consumo que se efectuaron en el sitio por los nuevos pobladores a partir de 1884.

Abstract
Accurate helium White Dwarf (DB) masses are critical for understanding the star’s evolution. DB masses derived from the spectroscopic and photometric methods are inconsistent. Photometric masses agree better with currently accepted DB evolutionary theories and are mostly consistent across a large range of surface temperatures. Spectroscopic masses rely on untested He i Stark line-shape and Van der Waals broadening predictions, show unexpected surface temperature trends, and are thus viewed as less reliable. To test this conclusion, we present in this paper detailed He i Stark line-shape measurements at conditions relevant to DB atmospheres (T
electron ≈12,000–17,000 K, n
electron ≈ 1017 cm−3). We use X-rays from Sandia National Laboratories’ Z-machine to create a uniform ≈120 mm long hydrogen–helium mixture plasma. Van der Waals broadening is negligible at our experimental conditions, allowing us to measure He i Stark profiles only. Hβ, which has been well-studied in our platform and elsewhere, serves as the n
e diagnostic. We find that He i Stark broadening models used in DB analyses are accurate within errors at tested conditions. It therefore seems unlikely that line-shape models are solely responsible for the observed spectroscopic mass trends. Our results should motivate the WD community to further scrutinize the validity of other spectroscopic and photometric input parameters, like atmospheric structure assumptions and convection corrections. These parameters can significantly change the derived DB mass. Identifying potential weaknesses in any input parameters could further our understanding of DBs, help elucidate their evolutionary origins, and strengthen confidence in both spectroscopic and photometric masses.
An Early Catalog of Planet-hosting Multiple-star Systems of Order Three and Higher

Published: December 2022

Abstract
We present a catalog (status 2022 July 1) of triple and higher-order systems identified containing exoplanets based on data from the literature, including various analyses. We explore statistical properties of the systems with a focus on both the stars and the planets. So far, about 30 triple systems and one to three quadruple systems, including (mildly) controversial cases, have been found. The total number of planets is close to 40. All planet-hosting triple-star systems are highly hierarchic, consisting of a quasi-binary complemented by a distant stellar component, which is in orbit about the common center of mass. Furthermore, the quadruple systems are in fact pairs of close binaries (“double–doubles”), with one binary harboring a planet. For the different types of star–planet systems, we introduce a template for the classifications of planetary orbital configurations in correspondence to the hierarchy of the system and the planetary host. The data show that almost all stars are main-sequence stars, as expected. However, the stellar primaries tend to be more massive (i.e., corresponding to spectral types A, F, and G) than expected from single-star statistics, a finding also valid for stellar secondaries but less pronounced. Tertiary stellar components are almost exclusively low-mass stars of spectral type M. Almost all planets have been discovered based on either the Radial Velocity method or the Transit method. Both gas giants (the dominant type) and terrestrial planets (including super-Earths) have been identified. We anticipate the expansion of this database in the light of future planetary search missions.

Abstract
We present time-series photometry during the early decline phase of the extremely fast nova V1674 Herculis. The 2021 light curve showed periodic signals at 0.152921(3) days and 501.486(5) s, which we interpret as respectively the orbital and white dwarf spin periods in the underlying binary. We also detected a sideband signal at the difference frequency between these two clocks. During the first 15 days of outburst, the spin period appears to have increased by 0.014(1)%. This increase probably arose from the sudden loss of high-angular-momentum gas (“the nova explosion”) from the rotating, magnetic white dwarf. Both periodic signals appeared remarkably early in the outburst, which we attribute to the extreme speed with which the nova evolved (and became transparent to radiation from the inner binary). After that very fast initial period increase of 71 ms, the period subsequently decreased—at 182(18) ms yr−1 in 2021, and 88(18) ms yr−1 in 2022. These rates are ∼100× faster than typically seen in intermediate polars. This could be due to high accretion torques from very high mass-transfer rates, which might be common when low-mass donor stars are strongly irradiated by a nova outburst.
La publication en Ibéro-Amérique en tant que mode d’internationalisation des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales du Conicet (Argentine)
Authors: Baranger Denis , Beigel Fernanda 
Published: December 2022

L’internationalisation de la science et des scientifiques a fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant pendant les deux dernières décades, spécialement de la part des communautés des pays « non hégémoniques » préoccupées par la faible incidence de leurs publications au niveau mondial. La globalisation académique a généré une culture évaluatrice dominante basée sur la prépondérance de l’article écrit en anglais, qui s’est répandue en direction Nord-Sud. Ceci a donné lieu à un système de publications dans lequel la part de la connaissance produite dans les pays périphériques, et plus spécifiquement par les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales (SHS), est minime. Cependant, en marge de ce système mainstream d’autres voies d’internationalisation se sont développées et des langues locales résistent encore. L’intention de cet article est d’analyser les trajectoires des chercheurs en SHS du Conicet, le secteur le plus internationalisé du champ scientifique argentin, pour comprendre de quelle manière circule leur production, en ce qui a trait aux langues, aux circuits de publication et aux pays, ainsi que l’importance de la publication nationale.
Conserver et exposer les microbes au tournant du XXe siècle
Authors: Gallay-Keller Mathilde 
Published: December 2022

Cet article analyse le dispositif de la première collection microbienne de l’Institut Pasteur à Paris (IP), depuis sa constitution en 1889 à la suite de l’ouverture de l’institution et durant toute la période où elle fut développée par son curateur, le pastorien Jean Binot (entre 1896 et 1909). Cela à partir de deux interrogations, qui invitent à reconsidérer les frontières entre les sciences de la vie dites « naturalistes » et celles dites « expérimentales ». Si, dans le projet de découverte et de classification de l’ensemble du vivant, les institutions naturalistes telles que les muséums tiennent une place de choix, la collection microbienne de l’IP – avec sa vocation première de servir de support expérimental à l’enseignement de la microbiologie – fut-elle pour autant étrangère au projet de nommer et classer le vivant microscopique ? Par ailleurs, si les biotechnologies disponibles pour conserver les microbes ont bien été décrite dans des collections de micro-organismes et des biobanques au XXe et XXIe siècle, qu’en était-il au passage du XIXe et du XXe siècle à l’IP ? L’article documente quelles furent les fonctions et usages de cette collection microbienne pour les restituer dans leur variété, puis s’intéresse à sa gestion biotechnologique pour montrer comment son curateur mit en place des techniques de vie latente des micro-organismes – encore utilisées aujourd’hui dans diverses collections naturalistes comme expérimentales.
Prognostic Nutritional Index - A Predictive Tool for Treatment Tolerance in Head and Neck Radiotherapy
Authors: George Anu , Ponni T. R. 
Published: December 2022

Background:
Head-and-neck cancer (HNC) constitutes one-third of all cancers in developing countries, and the majority present in locally advanced stages. Poor nutritional status is invariably present which compromises treatment compliance, quality of life and survival outcome, posing a major treatment challenge. The aim of this study was to assess the role of pretreatment biomarkers including neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) in predicting treatment tolerance.

Materials and Methods:
This prospective observational study included 82 patients receiving definitive and adjuvant radiotherapy for HNC. Utilizing baseline blood investigations, the NLR, PLR, and PNI (10 × albumin + 0.005× lymphocyte count) were calculated for each patient. The cutoff values of NLR, PLR, and PNI were based on the median values. Treatment tolerance in terms of weight loss of more than 10% during treatment, the need for feeding procedure, treatment breaks, and not completing planned treatment as per the schedule were assessed. Associations of NLR, PLR, and PNI with the treatment tolerance factors were assessed using the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, and a P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
Low PNI significantly correlated with feeding procedure requirement and treatment breaks, thus compromising treatment completion. NLR and PLR did not show statistically significant correlations.

Conclusion:
Low PNI is a reliable predictive factor of poor treatment tolerance. It is an accessible screening tool to identify patients at risk of poor treatment tolerance in whom early interventions can be made to aid in uneventful treatment completion.
Effect of surgical intraocular pressure lowering on peripapillary blood flow in primary open glaucoma patients using optical coherence tomography angiography
Authors: Fouad Heba M. , Marei Nehal A.L. , El-Saied Heba M.A. , Edris Noha A. 
Published: December 2022

Objective
The aim of this research was to study the effect of intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering after trabeculectomy on peripapillary blood flow and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Study design
This is a prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, observational study.

Patients and methods
The study included 18 eyes of 18 patients with primary open angle glaucoma scheduled for trabeculectomy. Using optical coherence tomography angiography, the radial peripapillary vessel density (PVD) and RNFL thickness were quantified before and 1 week after surgery. Changes were calculated as total, superior hemi, and inferior hemi. They were then correlated with the change in IOP.

Results
One week after surgery, the mean IOP reduction was −14.28±7.70 mmHg (−56.87±14.97%, P=0.000). The mean change in the radial PVD was +0.47±2.48% (P=0.431), and the mean change in RNFL thickness was +0.44±3.36 μm (P=0.582). There was no statistically significant correlation between these changes and the reduction in IOP (r=−0.104, P=0.682, and r=−0.287, P=0.249, respectively).

Conclusion
There was a nonsignificant increase in the radial PVD and RNFL thickness after IOP reduction with trabeculectomy in primary open angle glaucoma, 1 week after surgery.
A comparison of the circadian rhythm of intraocular pressure in patients with primary glaucoma and normal individuals
Authors: Namrata Devappa , Pradeep Thanuja G. , Krishnaswamy Malavika 
Published: December 2022

Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the 24-h intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations in patients with glaucoma and to compare them with normal persons.

Patients and methods
This is a cross-sectional comparative study of the circadian rhythm of IOP that was conducted on 30 patients diagnosed with primary glaucoma on medical or surgical treatment and 30 normal individuals with no signs of glaucoma. There were three cases of primary angle closure glaucoma, and so they were excluded from the analysis.

Results
The mean age of all participants was 60.25±12.15 years. The mean age of the normal individuals was 58.60±12.33 years compared with 62.22±11.66 years in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), with no statistically significant difference (P=0.486). A higher proportion of females (63%) were found in the glaucoma group, though not statistically significant (P=0.138). The mean IOP was higher among the glaucoma group (19.92±6.18 mmHg) than in the normal individuals (14.83±1.75 mmHg), with a statistically significant difference (P=0.001). The mean diurnal variation of IOP in the right eye among the normal individuals (3.6±1.1 mmHg) was significantly lower than in the POAG group (7.11±4.8 mmHg) (P=0.001). Similarly, in the left eye, the mean diurnal variation was significantly higher in the POAG group (6.07±2.25 mmHg) compared with the normal individuals (3.52±1.25 mmHg) (P=0.00). The average peak of IOP among normal individuals and patients with POAG was 19.75±2.0 and 37.56.9 mmHg, respectively, in the right eye (P=0.01) and 20.00 ± 1.6 mmHg and 26.25 ± 2.2 in normal individuals and patients with POAG, respectively, in the left eye (P=0.001). The peak IOP among the POAG group was seen at 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., mostly outside office hours.

Conclusion
The diurnal variation of IOP was more among patients with glaucoma than normal individuals. The average peak of the IOP was seen only after office hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m.), thus emphasizing the need for 24-h monitoring of IOP. The 24-h measurement would help recognize the IOP spikes and help decide the time of instillation of antiglaucoma medication to avoid further glaucoma progression.
Epithelial thickness mapping
Authors: El-Shahed Ahmed F. , El-Shahed Reem F. , Gaballah Karim A. 
Published: December 2022

Aim
The aim of this study was to compare mechanical photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK), used to correct mild and moderate myopia, with respect to the epithelial thickness mapping (ETM).

Setting
The study was carried out at Al-Mashreq Eye Center, Cairo, Egypt.

Patients and methods
This is a prospective comparative study that was carried out on 20 myopic patients (40 eyes), with spherical equivalent (SE) ranging from −1.0 to −5.0 D. The cases were divided into two groups: group A included the right eyes (OD) of all patients, and group B included the left eyes (OS). Group A underwent mechanical PRK using ‘hockey stick’ and excimer laser, using Mel-90 excimer laser with 250 Hz mode, and 0.7-mm spot scanning. Group B underwent tPRK using Mel-90 (8-mm lamellar ablation for 55 μm, 250 Hz). Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), manifest refraction, and ETM using AngioVue spectral domain optical coherence tomography systems were performed. The ETM was measured preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively. In addition, postoperative pain was assessed.

Results
The median preoperative UCVA was 0.3 (range, 0.2–0.4) in both eyes (OU), whereas the median preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 1 (range, 0.8–1). There was a statistically significant increase in UCVA across the postoperative period in both groups (P<0.001). The median UCVA improved to 0.5 (OU) after 1 week, and to 0.9 (OD) and 1.0 (OS) after 1 month and remained almost the same at 3 months postoperatively. There was a statistically significant decrease in SE at all points of the follow-up period in both groups (P<0.001). A slight change in SE was observed between the first and third month postoperatively in both groups, which was statistically insignificant. Patients reported postoperative pain on the first postoperative day, which was more in the tPRK group. There was a statistically significant change in epithelial thickness across the study period in both groups (P<0.001). The ETM showed a faster epithelial regeneration in group B, which was statistically significant at 1 week postoperatively (P=0.004). The epithelial thickness continued to increase in both groups to reach almost the preoperative value at the third month postoperatively. All cases that showed postoperative haze were less than grade 1.0 (Hanna’s scale).

Conclusion
Mechanical PRK and tPRK provided very similar results 3 months postoperatively. Both procedures were predictable, effective, and safe. The patients reported postoperative pain on the first postoperative day that was more in the tPRK group. The tPRK group expressed a faster epithelial regeneration than the PRK group at 1 week postoperatively. However, at 3 months postoperatively, the corneal epithelium reached an almost normal thickness in both groups. Visual recovery was noted to be faster in the tPRK group.
