Published: July 2022

El turismo puede y debe convertirse en un mecanismo de estimulación para el desarrollo local y mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de los diferentes actores sociales a nivel territorial de pueblos y municipios principalmente. El presente trabajo va encaminado a demostrar como un sitio que tuvo un pujante crecimiento económico-social durante el siglo XX y que en la actualidad se ha convertido en un pueblo casi fantasma, caído en el olvido, puede la práctica de las actividades turístico-recreativas rescatarlo para beneficio de la comunidad local. El objetivo fue realizar un diagnóstico y evaluación del Complejo Hershey para su uso turístico-recreativo, conformado por: el poblado histórico, de singulares valores arquitectónicos; el tren eléctrico, único que se conserva y funciona en Cuba; las instalaciones industriales, de gran valor patrimonial hoy abandonadas; y el parque natural o jardines de Hershey diseñado como lugar de recreo y esparcimiento de los funcionarios y trabajadores del antiguo central. Los principales métodos y técnicas utilizadas fueron: Análisis histórico-lógico, análisis y síntesis, observación participante, entrevistas individuales. El resultado fue el diseño y planificación del nuevo producto turístico-recreativo, Complejo Hershey, destacando sus potencialidades de comercialización tanto para el mercado nacional como el extranjero.

Abstract Tourism can and must become a mechanism for stimulating local development and improving the quality of life of different stakeholders at local level, mainly in towns and villages. The present work is aimed at demonstrating how a site that had a thriving economic and social growth in the twentieth century but today has become almost a forgotten ghost town, can be rescued through the practice of tourism and recreational activities for the benefit of the local community. The goal was to make a diagnosis and evaluation of Hershey complex for recreational tourism use, consisting of: the historical village with its unique architectural values; the only conserved and operating electric train in Cuba; abandoned industrial facilities, of high cultural value; and the natural park or Hershey Gardens originally designed as a recreation and entertainment area for officials and staff of the old sugar plant. The main methods and techniques used were: Historical-logical analysis, analysis and synthesis, participant observation and individual interviews. The result was the design and planning of a new tourist-recreational product, the Hershey Recreation Complex, and its potential for marketing both domestically and abroad.

Authors: Medina Martín , Cosentino Pablo , Anzoátegui Micaela , Prieto Martín , González Juliana , Aviles Gabriel , Simonet Camile 
Published: July 2022

La presente conversación con Laura Borsellino, comunicadora social, activista y escritora, fue llevada a cabo por el proyecto de Estudios Críticos Ambientales e intenta abordar la temática ambiental desde la transdisciplina y la complejidad. De este modo, propone analizar las formas en las que se comunica y reflexiona sobre las problemáticas socio-ambientales. Asimismo, convoca a repensar los vínculos relacionales y afectivos entre lo humano y lo no-humano, indagando las tensiones que se generan entre los diferentes actores que forman parte de los actuales escenarios de conflicto ambiental.
La conversación considera la trayectoria de formación en la temática de Borsellino y las singulares experiencias colectivas que desarrolla la comunicadora social a fin de generar nuevos vínculos con el ambiente. Las mismas se entrelazan con una propuesta de comunicación y de pensamiento que cuestiona los actuales modelos de vida neoliberales, sustentados en el extractivismo y el saqueo de los territorios. Así, la conversación recorre una serie de tópicos que van desde el vínculo entre lo humano y lo no-humano, pasando por reflexiones sobre el ecofemismo, los paradigmas de la ciencia y la cosmovisión de los pueblos originarios.
Abstract

The present conversation with Laura Borsellino, a social communicator, an activist and a writer, was carried out by the Critical Environmental Studies Project and attempts to approach environmental issues from a transdisciplinary and complex perspective. It proposes to analyze the ways in which socio-environmental issues are communicated and appears in socio environmental issues. It also invites to rethink the relational and emotionally links between the human and the non-human, researching tensions between different kinds of actors involves in the current scenarios at environmental conflict.
The conversation considers the trajectory of Borsellino's and the singular collective experiences that the social communicator develops in order to generate new links with the environment. These are intertwined with a proposal of communication and thought that questions the current neoliberal models of life, based on extractivism and the plundering of territories. Thus, the conversation covers a series of topics ranging from the link between the human and the non-human, through reflections on ecofemism, paradigms of science and the native people's cosmovision.
Conceptualizaciones de la naturaleza y su relación con características sociodemográficas y el comportamiento pro-ambiental, Mar del Plata, Argentina
Authors: Herrera Lorena Paola , Von Below Jonathan , De Rito Mara 
Published: July 2022

Una de las mayores dificultades para alcanzar soluciones efectivas a los problemas ambientales proviene de la profunda desconexión del ser humano con la naturaleza. Esta desconexión conduce a la pérdida de la capacidad inherente al humano de sentirse parte de la naturaleza, ignorando que su existencia depende de ella y que sus acciones la afectan significativamente. La forma en que se conceptualiza a la naturaleza puede influir en su percepción y vinculación con ella. La conceptualización depende de múltiples factores sociodemográficos (por ej., el lugar de nacimiento de las personas, la educación, las actividades recreativas), y puede influir en el comportamiento de las personas hacia el ambiente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue explorar la conceptualización que las personas de la localidad bonaerense de Mar del Plata (Argentina) tienen de naturaleza y su relación con algunas características sociodemográficas y de comportamiento proambiental. En esta investigación predominó la perspectiva metodológica cualitativa, a la cual se sumó el análisis cuantitativo (Análisis de Correspondencia Múltiple) de los datos para visualizar e interpretar las relaciones entre las variables. Se utilizó la encuesta autogestionada como método de recolección de información. A partir de 220 respuestas, se registró que las definiciones más frecuentes de naturaleza refirieron a la exclusión del ser humano del mundo natural y a todo lo que está vivo. Las personas con estudios en Ciencias Sociales, Humanas y de las Salud, y las que realizan actividades al aire libre y Biodanza mencionaron definiciones más diversas de naturaleza, asociándolas a una visión trascendente o espiritual. No se encontró un patrón que vincule la conceptualización que las personas tienen de naturaleza con el comportamiento proambiental. Este trabajo permitió explorar una de las formas de percibir a la naturaleza a través de su descripción con palabras, lo cual puede contribuir a la comprensión de nuestro accionar hacia ella.

Published: July 2022

PurposeExcessive accumulation of free fatty acids in the coronary arteries can lead to coronary artery disease (CAD). Quantification of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is beneficial to understand its relationship with CAD, hypertension (HT), and diabetes.Material and methodsThis retrospective study included 54 patients who underwent CT coronary angiogram using a multidetector row CT scanner. The EAT and PAT volumes from cardiac images were quantified using Image J software. The severity of CAD was graded using the CAD-RADS score.ResultsTwenty-nine patients had no CAD, 21 patients had significant CAD, and 4 patients had insignificant CAD. Out of 21 patients with significant CAD, 14 had involvement of multiple coronary arteries. The EAT and PAT volumes were higher in patients with HT, DM, CAD-present group and significant-CAD-present group, but this was not statistically significant except the PAT volume with respect to diabetes. Significant correlation was found between EAT volume and calcium score (p = 0.035) and between EAT volume and total cholesterol level (p = 0.017). Significant differences in the EAT volumes were found in different CAD-RADS categories in the right coronary artery (RCA). From the threshold values, it was observed that CAD can develop in LAD even at lower of EAT and PAT volumes.ConclusionsQuantification of EAT and PAT volumes is beneficial in understanding its relationship with the presence and severity of coronary artery disease and its risk factors.
Antibacterial properties of distilled cow’s urine on bacterial species from clinical specimens
Authors: Kashyap Vishakha , B. Dhanashree 
Published: July 2022

Introduction and Aim: In Ayurveda, cow's urine has been reported to have many therapeutic values. The raising trend in antibacterial resistance is a cause of concern and demands an alternative therapeutic agent. Hence, the present study aims to know the antibacterial properties of urine from cows on clinical and reference strains of bacteria.

Materials and Methods: The present in vitro experimental study, used agar dilution method to know the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of cow’s urine distillate (CUD) on few reference bacterial strains and Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhi, Escherichia coli, and S. Paratyphi A isolated from clinical samples. Resistance and sensitivity of these isolates to routinely used antibiotics was studied by Kirby Bauer’s disk diffusion method.

Results: MIC of CUD for different standard bacterial strains varied from 250 to 500?l/ml. Among the clinical isolates, all Salmonella Typhi, 85% of S. Paratyphi A, 60% of E. coli, 80% of the S. aureus, 64.28% S. aureus were resistant to methicillin (MRSA) and 24% of E. faecalis were killed by 500?l/ml of CUD. Clinical strains of bacteria, susceptible to routinely used antibiotics, were also found to be susceptible to CUD and showed a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect. Multi drug resistant strains of nine MRSA, one E. faecalis and two E.coli were also susceptible to 500?l/ml concentration of CUD.

Conclusion: CUD can be considered as an alternative anti-bacterial agent for multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens as it showed concentration dependent inhibitory effect on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.
Circulating NAMPT/ PBEF /Visfatin and its cardiometabolic risk in young obese adults
Authors: G. Anitha , J Sivakumar , M Rasheed khan 
Published: July 2022

Introduction and Aim: In this era of obesity pandemic, obesity related metabolic derangements has demanded more clinical attention due to its high rate of morbidity and mortality. Altered lipid profile and atherogenicity have increased the cardio metabolic risks, even in young adults and adolescents. Among various adipocytokines, visfatin/PBEF(pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor)/NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase), predominantly secreted from the visceral fat, helps to predict the amount of fat that has a strong correlation with the derangement of cardio metabolic profile compared to the subcutaneous fat.The aim of this study is to determine the serum PBEF/visfatin levels in young obese, and to evaluate its correlation with body fat distribution, lipid parameters and the atherogenic index.

Materials and Methods:The subjects were 60 young obese adults in the age group of 18-35 years and age and sex matched 30 controls. Serum visfatin, lipid parameters and anthropometric indices- weight, height, HC (Hip circumference)and WC(waist circumference) were measured and BMI (Body mass index),WHR(waist–hip ratio) andatherogenic index (log of TG/ HDL-C) was calculated.

Results: NAMPT/PBEF/Serum visfatin levels, BMI, WC, WHR, TG, LDL-C was significantly higher in young obese subjects than the controls (P< 0.05). The AIP - atherogenic index of plasma was also significantly higher in young obese with P value < 0.01. There was positive correlation of TG, LDL-C and atherogenic index with serum NAMPT/visfatin levels. BMI also showed a significant positive correlation with r value of 0.56 (P= 0.01).

Conclusion:These results highlight that serum NAMPT/visfatin levels, due to its association with the atherogenic index, as a significant marker for assessing the cardio-metabolic risks in obese subjects. Higher atherogenic index of plasma in obese individuals focuses the impact of visceral fat in the initiation of atherosclerotic plaques even at a younger age group.
Seismogenic potential and tsunami threat of the strike-slip Carboneras Fault in the Western Mediterranean from physics-based earthquake simulations
Authors: Álvarez-Gómez José A. , Herrero-Barbero Paula , Martínez-Díaz José J. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Strike-slip fault ruptures have a limited capacity to generate vertical deformation, and for this reason they are usually dismissed as potential destructive tsunami sources. At the western tip of the western Mediterranean, in the Alboran Sea, tectonics is characterized by the presence of large transcurrent fault systems and minor reverse and normal faults in a zone of diffuse deformation. The strike-slip Carboneras fault is one of the largest sources in the Alboran Sea, and therefore, with the greatest seismogenic capacity. It is also one of the active structures with higher slip rates in the Eastern Betic Fault Zone and has been proposed as source of the damaging 1522 (M6.5; Int. VIII-IX) Almeria earthquake. The dimensions and location of the Carboneras fault imply a high seismic and tsunami threat. In this paper we present tsunami simulations from seismic sources generated with physics-based earthquake simulators. We have generated a 1 Myr synthetic seismic catalogue consistent on 773,893 events with magnitudes ranging between MW 3.3 and 7.6. From these events we have selected those sources producing a potential energy capable of generating a noticeable tsunami, being earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 6.71 to 7.62. The Carboneras Fault has the capacity to generate locally damaging tsunamis, however, on a regional scale its tsunami threat is limited. The frequency – magnitude distribution of the generated seismic catalogue reflects the variability of magnitudes associated to the rupture of the entire fault, departing the upper limit from the classical Gutenberg-Richter potential relation showing a bell-shaped distribution. The inter-event time for the maximum earthquake magnitudes is usually between 2000 and 6000 years. The use of physics-based earthquake simulations for tsunamigenic sources allows a robust characterization of the scenarios, allowing a qualitative leap in their parametrization.

Fish is a product that, under improper storage and transportation conditions, can quickly undergo putrefactive spoilage, therefore, one of the indicators of fish spoilage is the detection of free ammonia in fish samples. The determination of ammonia formed during fish spoilage is based on the fact that it forms a white cloud of ammonium chloride in the presence of hydrochloric acid. According to the intensity, the rate of cloud formation and its stability, the degree of spoilage of fish is judged. the purpose of our study was to determine the effect of the use of the drug "SmartBiotic", produced on the basis of humic acids, on the quality and safety of the fish products obtained, namely, the detection of free ammonia in the selected samples of rainbow trout.Three groups of rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were formed to conduct the study. One group served as a control, and the other two were experimental subjects. The first experimental group of fingerlings received the drug at a concentration of 0.15%, and the second experimental group – at a dose of 0.25%. In the control group of rainbow trout, the drug "SmartBiotic" was not used.

Authors: Glazunov A. D. , Shafiyev A. P. 
Published: July 2022

The main methods of diagnosing these diseases, according to the analysis of world literature data, are the analysis of the patient's cerebrospinal fluid and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is carried out in order to detect changes characteristic of the diagnosis. With the help of MRI, it is possible to determine the localization of inflammation. A number of studies have been aimed at improving diagnostic methods by detecting new factors characteristic of autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. Data on the detection of antibodies corresponding to human antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid of dogs and on changes in the concentration of various substances in it are presented. This allows for faster and more accurate diagnostics.As a result of the generalization of the literature data, it was found that immunosuppressive drugs are used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases of the brain and spinal cord of dogs. According to the data presented, the most effective of the known methods of treatment of autoimmune meningoencephalitis is the use of a combination of prednisolone and imatinib mesylate. For the treatment of steroid-dependent meningoarteritis (SRMA), various corticosteroid drugs are used, the most optimal of which is the combination of prednisone and cytarabine.The purpose of our study was to study modern Russian and foreign literature sources on autoimmune diseases of the brain and spinal cord in dogs, methods of diagnosis and treatment of these diseases and to review works that provide new data on their treatment, diagnosis and understanding of etiology and pathogenesis.
Modern concepts on the possibilities of inducing the regeneration of the articular cartilage in horses
Authors: Pets P. A. , Bogatyreva E. S. 
Published: July 2022

In modern veterinary practice, there is an acute problem of restoring the structure and function of damaged articular cartilage in animals, especially in one-hoofed animals. Cartilage tissue has a limited ability to regenerate due to the fact that it does not have blood and lymphatic vessels. With large defects, fibrous tissue or fibrous cartilage grows, which differ from hyaline cartilage in biochemical and biomechanical parameters. Subsequently, the cartilage undergoes degeneration, which in some cases may progress to osteoarthritic changes. Numerous studies have been conducted in the last few years in search of effective treatments. Among them is the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).The purpose of this work was to review the results of studies presented in the current literature on the topic of articular cartilage regeneration using mesenchymal stem cells.The search for original studies was carried out in the systems ResearchGate, PubMed, Liebertpub. Information about the properties of mesenchymal stem cells and the features of their use, the results of clinical studies, as well as the degree of knowledge and future prospects are given.MSCs have the ability to self-maintain and differentiate into various mesenchymal cell lines (osteoid, chondrogenic, adipogenic). They are involved in the growth and development, restoration and regeneration of mesenchymal tissues. Based on the properties of MSCs, they represent a potential source of cells to induce regeneration of the affected articular cartilage.Currently, MSC-based therapy is still in preclinical and 1 stage of research. Large-scale clinical trials are required to comprehensively assess the mechanism of action of MSCs, and subsequently address issues of its improvement.
