El carácter fundacional y origen de San Vito de Java, Coto Brus (Costa Rica: 1952-2020) a sesenta y ocho años de su fundación
Authors: Rimolo-Bariatti Annamaria 
Published: March 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es abordar el carácter fundacional y origen de San Vito en la población ítalo-sanviteña de la primera a la tercera generación, a través del análisis de las propias elaboraciones discursivas -insertas en un continuum que va de lo hegemónico a lo contrahegemónico. San Vito se encuentra en la zona sur de Costa Rica, en la provincia de Puntarenas y es cabecera del cantón de Coto Brus. Al respecto, nos preguntamos: ¿cómo se fundó San Vito? y ¿quiénes son sus fundadores? Este análisis sigue los lineamientos sobre las ideologías y el discurso de Teun van Dijk (2000) y el binomio hegemónico/contrahegemónico de James Scott (1985 y 1990).

Authors: Campos Chaves Marleny , Campos Taryn Torres , Mejías Roxana Alemán 
Published: March 2022

La presente investigación, etnográfica con enfoque cualitativo, se llevó a cabo con una población de 24 personas del cantón de La Cruz, Guanacaste en el año 2019-2020 y buscó identificar factores de riesgo asociados con la conducta suicida identificados a través de los relatos de personas sobrevivientes (familiares) de casos de suicidio consumado y personas que han realizado intentos suicidas, residentes en el cantón de La Cruz, Guanacaste. El análisis de la información se plantea a partir de los criterios de los determinantes de la salud mental, propuestos por la Organización Mundial de la Salud-OMS, los cuales se delimitan en cuatro indicadores: biológicos, económicos, socioculturales y ambientales o ecológicos.
El estudio se llevó a cabo en una de las comunidades con mayor vulnerabilidad y con mayores índices de intentos de suicidios de la provincia guanacasteca (Dirección Vigilancia de la Salud, Ministerio de Salud, 2018). Es una investigación interinstitucional e interdisciplinaria que involucra a la Universidad de Costa Rica, el Ministerio de Salud y la Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social.
Algunos de los principales factores de riesgo son los estilos de vida dominados por una cultura patriarcal en la que la violencia hacia mujeres está presente, el no ejercer los roles masculinos tradicionales, la desesperanza y aislamiento en las personas jóvenes, así como sentimientos de inseguridad por el tráfico de drogas, sicariato y trata de personas. Por consiguiente, se espera que los resultados generen un impacto en las políticas locales en salud mental y en los procesos de atención a estas poblaciones.

Haunted Archives: Presence and Absence in the Audio-visual Record of Conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina
Authors: Van Oldenborgh Lennaart 
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the potential consequences of the loss of raw rushes of historical events on collective memory. It examines two sets of rushes from 21 August 1993 that survived against the odds, of the arrival of the first humanitarian aid convoy in the besieged enclave of east Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina. These rushes were compared with edited accounts and examined for elements that, in the words of Dai Vaughan, could generate “meanings oblique, peripheral or even antagonistic to the text as understood.”
According to a well-worn maxim, “journalism is the first rough draft of history”. This is certainly true for audio-visual media: typically, archives preserve edited, “finished” films, and rushes often get lost from the record. This highlights a sometimes overlooked form of exclusion from the archive: the selection of footage in the editing room. In commercial news archives economic pressures determine which footage will be digitised, and a diminishing pool of well-known images tend to be re-used in a “feedback loop of historical footage”.
Examining the rushes of the aid convoy to Mostar reveals how much the news coverage is coloured by the media spectacle accompanying the convoy. The clear emphasis on the humanitarian aspects of the story downplays the political stakes of the warring parties, and incongruous jokes to the camera provide unexpected glimpses of the pressures and the privileges of the international journalists and aid workers producing the images. These are insights that could only have been gleaned from the raw rushes of the situation, and are an indication of the kind of insights into comparable events that may have been “narrativised” out of the historical record, and lost on the cutting room floor.
Anarchiving the New York Avant-Garde: The Phantom of Barbara Rubin’s Christmas on Earth
Authors: Rho Giulia 
Published: March 2022

This featurette addresses the encounter with the illicit digitised images of Barbara Rubin’s psychedelic short film Christmas on Earth (1963-65). Following So Mayer’s interpretation of Derrida’s archive fever as the ache of a phantom limb (2020), I take the film as an urgent invitation to question history and open it up to the ghosts who haunt it, demanding rightful recognition. This practice of anarchiving, to use Brian Massumi’s term, the disjointed digital archive of counter-cinema aims at reactivating the power of Christmas on Earth and building a sensual, bodily relationship with it across time and space. The hope is to revisit the past and relodge forgotten memories in contemporary contexts, so they can be inherited as a political legacy.

Detección automática de posición corporal en animales de granja
Authors: Agudelo John Fredy Ramirez , Montoya Jose Fernando Guarín , Mazo Sebastian Bedoya 
Published: March 2022

Contextualización: Los animales utilizan una amplia gama de variaciones en sus poses corporales que puede ser interpretada como información sobre su estado de salud, bienestar o actividad individual. Sin embargo, la observación directa de estas posiciones es una tarea que demanda tiempo y es económicamente inviable en las empresas pecuarias. Gracias a las técnicas de visión por computador es posible que la implementación de sistemas de observación automática en las granjas sea una alternativa viable.
Vacío de conocimiento: Actualmente no existe un modelo de estimación de pose de uso exclusivo con animales de granja que permita el desarrollo de sistemas de detección automática de posturas.
Propósito: El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el desempeño de un modelo de redes neuronales re-entrenado para la detección de poses en algunas especies de rumiantes y en caballos.
Metodología: De la base de datos Imagenet, se descargaron más de diez mil imágenes de rumiantes y equinos. De estas imágenes, se seleccionaron 2000 de vacunos y 591 de otras especies para el re-entrenamiento y evaluación del modelo, respectivamente. Estas imágenes fueron etiquetadas con el programa COCO Annotator. Este proceso consistió en la identificación manual de ocho puntos claves de la anatomía de los animales en cada imagen. El proceso de re-entrenamiento fue realizado con la librería detectron2 en Python. Para cuantificar la precisión del modelo se utilizó la similitud de puntos claves de objeto.
Resultados y conclusiones: El índice de similitud de puntos claves de objeto permitió establecer que el aprendizaje desarrollado por el modelo para identificar puntos clave en vacunos puede ser utilizado para la misma tarea en otros animales de granja. Caballos y búfalos presentaron los mejores resultados de detección. En conclusión, un conjunto de datos relativamente pequeño de la posición en animales permite evaluar la generalización de la inferencia de los modelos dentro (vacunos) y fuera del dominio (otros rumiantes y equinos). Este tipo trabajos sirven como línea base para el desarrollo de sistemas de monitoreo automático de animales de granja.

Published: March 2022

The purpose of the study was to determine the age-related peculiarities of the functional state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems of 1st-5th year female students of a higher education institution. Materials and methods. The study participants were 200 female students: 1st year (n = 44); 2nd year (n = 38); 3rd year (n = 42); 4th year (n = 44); 5th year (n = 32). To solve the tasks set, the following research methods were used: analysis of scientific-methodological and medical literature, pedagogical observation, index method, medical and biological methods, ascertaining experiment, and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The study found that at the age of 19 there is a significant deterioration in the results of breathhold in the Stange test (49 s) and the Genchi test (38 s) (P < 0.05). At the age of 21, there is a decrease in the Ruffier index (12.4 – “satisfactory”) and the average heart rate after exercise (f1 = 34.7), while there is a decrease in heart rate (f2 = 25.8) after a standard recovery pause (P < 0.05). This indicates that during this period, there occur the most successful compensatory processes of cardiovascular activity. At 21-22 (4th-5th years of study), there is an increase in heart rate before exercise (f0), and the Stange test result improves. Conclusions. The results of comparative analysis show that with age the number of female students with a “satisfactory” result of the Ruffier index increases (59.4%), and a “good” heart result decreases (15.6%). At the age of 21, women have better heart rate, and at 22, they have better results in breath-holding under hypoxia.

Amaç: Yetişkin bireylerde metabolik sendromun belirlenmesinde obeziteyle ilişkili geleneksel ve yeni indekslerin değerlendirilmesi ve hangi belirtecin daha iyi öngördürücü olduğunu belirleme amacı ile planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya 18-65 yaş arası toplam 419 yetişkin birey dahil edildi. Vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel ve kalça çevresi ile kan basıncı ölçüldü; açlık kan şekeri, total kolesterol, trigliserit, düşük dansiteli lipoprotein kolesterol ve yüksek dansiteli lipoprotein kolesterol değerleri analiz edildi. Metabolik sendrom (MetS) Uluslararası Diabet Federasyonu kriterleri kullanılarak tanımlanmıştır. Obeziteyle ilişkili 23 indeksin değeri hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Metabolik sendrom prevalansı % 58,7 (erkek % 41,2; kadın % 67,7)’dir. Trigliserit-glikoz (TyG) indeksi hem erkeklerde (eğri altında kalan alan (AUC)= 0,894, kesme değeri = 9,3) hemde kadınlar da (AUC = 0,901, kesme değeri = 8,3) en büyük AUC'ye sahiptir. Erkeklerde lipit birikim ürünü (LAP), MetS için ikinci en yüksek belirlemeye sahip iken (AUC = 0,880, kesme değeri = 51,1), ardından TyG-bel/kalça (AUC = 0,876, kesme değeri = 3,7) gelmektedir. Kadınlarda kardiyometabolik indeks (CMI) (AUC = 0,872, kesme değeri = 1,3) ve viseral adipozite indeksi (VAI) (AUC = 0,868, kesme değeri = 4,1) sırasıyla ikinci ve üçüncü en büyük AUC'lere sahiptir.
Sonuç: TyG indeksi MetS belirlemede en iyi öngördürüdür. Bel çevresi kullanışlılığı ve uygun maliyetiyle büyük ölçekli epidemiyolojik çalışmalarda alternatif bir indeks olabilir.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: In most countries, there is an ever-increasing admission rate of the elderly population into emergency departments (EDs). In particular, these elderly patients diﬀer from younger patients because they have multiple comorbidities that affect the functionality and quality of life. The goal of this study is to reveal whether the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) foresee the short- and long-term prognosis of the super-elderly patient population.
Materials and Methods: The study was a descriptive, retrospective analysis of emergency department (ED) admissions by patients over 85 years of age and admitted to the Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University (COMU) Hospital between 2013 and 2018. The demographic data of the patients were analyzed according to CCI. Cox-regression analyses were conducted to determine whether the variables affected mortality.
Results: A total of 1142 patients aged 85 and older (507 men, 635 women) with a mean age of 86.96±2.49 were included in the study. According to the multivariable Cox regression analysis male gender, CCI ≥6 and ICU admission were significantly associated with increased mortality rates
Conclusion: The CCI predicts short and long-term prognosis in acutely ill, hospitalized super-elderly patients. The CCI could be used to select super-elderly patients at admission as an indicator of improvement at hospital discharge.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess the neurophyschiatric symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) such as apathy and pseudobulbar affect and their correlation with other concomitant factors.
Materials and Methods: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Apathy Evaluation Scale (AES), Fatigue severity scale (FSS), Center for Neurologic Study-Lability Scale (CNS-LS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) are applied to 258 MS patients. Correlation and regression analysis are conducted between scales and other possible causers.
Results: 53.6% of the patients have psuedobulbar affect, 76.2% of patient population have fatigue. Pseudobulbar affect had positive correlation with fatigue and also depression while apathy negatively correlate with pseudobulbar affect or fatigue. Additionally, apathy and depression correlated negatively. There was no relation between cognition and depression and/or disease duration and/or other scales’ scores.
Conclusion: Pseudobulbar affect and apathy are quite common symptoms in MS patients, that are cross-cutting issues. Also, apathy may be an independent neuropyschiatric symptom of MS that need to be approached separately.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum anti mullerian hormone levels and serum growth hormone levels in patients with diminished ovarian reserve and unexplained infertility who are planned for in vitro fertilization.
Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study includes 154 women and comprises three study groups which include infertile women with diminished ovarian reserve (Group I), women with unexplained infertility (Group II) and healthy women (Group III) as control group. Prospectively recorded patient data comprehended age, body mass index (BMI), antral follicle count (AFC), gravidity and parity, education, occupation, smoking and alcohol use, and laboratory results (Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), Growth Hormone (GH), Follicle-Stimulating hormone, Luteinizing Hormone and Estradiol).
Results: The study population consisted of 154 subjects, 52 in Group-I, 52 in Group-II, and 50 in Group-III. The mean women age was higher in DOR group than the other two groups (Respectively with quartiles; 35.5(25-40), 29.5(20-38), 33(19-39)). The other demographic parameters were similar between the groups. Median serum AMH levels was lower in DOR group. Growth hormone levels were similar between the groups..
Conclusion: Our results show that growth hormone has no relationship between ovarian reserve markers. Although lack of relation with ovarian reserve, it’s widely known that GH plays major role in granulosa cell function.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: Evaluation of ganglion cell complex measurement and the use of parameters of lamina cribrosa depth in early diagnosis and progression of patients with suspected glaucoma.
Materials and Methods: Measurements were taken with Heidelberg Spectralis Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography from patients in both groups. Ganglion cell complex thicknesses measured with segmentation analysis. Lamina cribrosa depths were measured by using optic nerve head images of the glaucoma suspected group and the control group.
Results: Thirty-one glaucoma suspect patients and 42 healthy individuals were included in the study. The thickness of the ganglion cell layer was 11.46  in the glaucoma suspect group, and it was 12.19  in the control group. Mean lamina cribrosa depth was 579.3  in the glaucoma suspected group and 399.62  in the control group.
Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography helps ophthalmologists for the diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma patients, and non-invasively measured ganglion cell layer and lamina cribrosa depth may be a guide for early diagnosis. In this study, lamina cribrosa depth difference is more significant in the glaucoma suspect group so this parameter can be used in early diagnosis.
Prostat kanseri modelinde metformin ve matriks metalloproteinaz ilişkisine doğrudan bir köprü: oksidatif stress
Authors: KÖROĞLU Pınar 
Published: March 2022

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı, prostat kanseri modelinde metforminin etkisinin yanı sıra Matriks metalloproteinaz2 (MMP2) ve oksidatif stres parametrelerinin olası rolünü belirlemekti.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Erkek Copenhagen sıçanları üç gruba ayrıldı. Kontrol grubu, kanser grubu, kanser+metformin (CM) grubu. Prostat kanseri, 2x104 Mat-LyLu hücrelerinin subkutan enjeksiyonu ile oluşturuldu. Metformin tedavisi, Mat- Lylu hücrelerinin ardından gavaj yoluyla günlük olarak uygulandı. Mat-LyLu hücre enjeksiyonunu takiben 14. günde deney sonlandırıldı.. Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) yöntemi kullanılarak serum glutatyon (GSH), prostat spesifik antijen (PSA) ve malondialdehit (MDA) düzeyleri belirlendi. Ayrıca serum matriks metalloproteinaz 2 (MMP) 2 aktiviteleri ELISA aracılığıyla belirlendi.
Bulgular: GSH, CM grubunda kanser grubuna göre önemli ölçüde arttı. PSA, MDA ve MMP2, CM grubunda kanser grubuna göre anlamlı derecede düşüktü. Oksidatif stres parametreleri kanser grubunda anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu. Metformin GSH, PSA, MDA ve MMP2 gibi parametrelerdeki kanser etkisini tersine döndürdü.
Sonuç: Prostat kanser modelinin MMP ve oksidatif stres parametreleri üzerine zararlı bir etkiye neden olduğunu ve metformin uygulamasının da kanserin neden olduğu değişiklikleri iyileştirdiği saptandı. Metforminin etki mekanizmasını prostat kanseri kaynaklı serbest radikal ürünlerini inhibe ettiği ve antioksidan kapasiteyi değiştirerek gösterdiği belirlendi. Metformin, terapötik kanser tedavi sürecindeki potansiyel bir anti kanser ilacı olmaya adaydır.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute systemic topiramate administration on anxiety index and freezing time, plasma estrogen and progesterone levels, and salivary gland immunoglobulin A in a post-traumatic stress disorder rat model.
Materials and Methods: A total of eighteen female Wistar rats used in the study were exposed to predatory odor stress. One week later, saline was administered to the control group and 15 µM and 30 µM topiramate to the treatment groups, after which the animals were exposed to the trauma reminder and their behavior was monitored in the elevated plus maze. At the end of the experiment, blood samples were taken, animals were sacrificed, salivary glands were removed immediately after.
Results: Topiramate suppressed anxiety index and freezing time in rats with post-traumatic stress disorder at both 15 µM and 30 µM doses compared to the control group. A positive correlation was observed between plasma estrogen level and anxiety index in the control group, and topiramate suppressed this correlation in a dose-dependent manner. Topiramate did not change the plasma progesterone level, but suppressed the salivary gland immunoglobulin A level at the low dose.
Conclusion: These findings obtained in our study indicate that topiramate may be effective in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between autoimmune liver diseases and esophageal motor disorders (EMD).
Materials and Methods: 63 patients diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and followed up in our hospital were included in the study. The control group consisted of 33 patients. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, esophageal motility study and pH meter tests were performed on all participants.
Results: Of the 63 patients included in the study 49.2% of the patients, EMD was detected while 31.7% of them had pathology in the pH meter. The rates of EMD of patients with PBC, PSC and AIH were 50%, 63.6%, and 42.9%, respectively while the pathology rates of the pH meter were found as 25%, 54.5%, and 28.6%, respectively. Statistically significant difference was found between autoimmune liver disease and control group in terms of esophageal motor diseases. As a result of manometric examination, median lower esophageal sphincter resting pressure was significantly lower in autoimmune liver patients compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Our study presents that EMD is common in patients with PBC, PSC, and AIH, and that the presence of cirrhosis has no impact on the development of EMD.
