description: El objetivo de este estudio es identificar y recopilar información y datos sobre la trucha en Campos do Jordão que indica el potencial del producto para obtener una indicación geográfica. La metodología de la investigación se caracteriza por ser exploratoria mixto, tiene como objetivo analizar las variables cuantitativas y cualitativas. En Brasil, la Ley 9279 de 1996, define las reglas de IG para su designación de una propiedad intelectual y hacer, como un activo intangible, la naturaleza colectiva y el derecho. Así que un IG puede ser una Indicación de procedencia o una Denominación de Origine. La descripción del territorio de la trucha en todo alrededor de Campos do Jordão comprende de 12 truticultores y todos pueden ser considerados productores familiares. Fueron considerados los actores principales los truticultores, los pesquisidores del Centro Experimental de Salmón de Campos do Jordão y ABRAT, Asociación de los productores de truchas en Brasil. Principales ventajas comparativas y competitivas de la trucha: una actividad alternativa para las regiones de montaña, que no permiten la explotación tradicional de la agricultura familiar ocupa áreas pequeñas y utiliza sistemas de producción intensiva con capacidad de alta productividad para generar empleo, actividad relacionada con el turismo rural, calidad de los alimentos, combinada con una imagen saludable, el producto tiene gran demanda en los mercados nacionales y extranjeros. Estudio preliminar de los textos documentales en revistas locales y científicas indican la tradición del producto trucha. Entrevistas con los turistas de los consumidores, dueños de posadas y restaurantes indican la reputación local de la trucha y existe asociación con el nombre geográfico.
The role of SRC family protein tyrosine kinases and the GAB1 adapter protein in BCR-mediated activation of AKT
Creators: name: Santos, Lorna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Antibody production by B lymphocytes is important for the eradication of foreign pathogens and requires signaling by the BCR. Crosslinking of the BCR results in the activation of three main signaling pathways — the PI 3-kinase, MAP kinase and PLC-γ2 pathways. It is proposed that various combinations of protein tyrosine kinases and adapter proteins differentially regulate the three main signaling pathways following BCR engagement. A non-lymphoid cell system that stably expresses functional BCRs at the cell surface and expresses only one Src kinase (Fyn) was used to examine the role of the Gabl adapter protein and Src family members, Lyn, Blk and Lck, in the BCR-induced activation of the Akt pathway. It was determined that Syk kinase activity is required for amplifying and sustaining Akt pathway activation through the BCR. Lck has no effect on the activation of this pathway while Lyn and Blk both inhibit the activation of this pathway in response to BCR crosslinking. This inhibition correlated with the ability of Lyn and Blk to interact with the SHP-2 protein tyrosine phosphatase. Altering the plasma membrane localization of Lyn and Blk in lipid raft and non-rafts domains has no effect on the BCR-induced Akt phosphorylation. However, expression of a cytosolic mutant form of Blk in the AtT20 cells alleviates the inhibitory effect on Akt phosphorylation. Using the AtT20 cells, it was established that Gabl could inducibly translocate to the plasma membrane and become tyrosine phosphorylated in response to BCR crosslinking. Akt phosphorylation was 2-fold higher following BCR crosslinking in cell transfected with Gabl. The recruitment of Gabl to the plasma membrane, its inducible tyrosine phosphorylation, association with signaling molecules and increased Akt phosphorylation all required the PH domain of Gabl as well as the Syk kinase. Together, both parts of this thesis demonstrated that various BCR-activated PTKs and Gabl are involved in the regulation of Akt pathway downstream of the BCR. The Akt pathway could be modulated by the use of bona fide adapter proteins or PTKs acting as adapter proteins that recruit important signaling components to the plasma membrane where PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling takes place.
Moment method as a numerical solver: Challenge from shock structure problems

description: We survey a number of moment hierarchies and test their performances in computing one-dimensional shock structures. It is found that for high Mach numbers, the moment hierarchies are either computationally expensive or hard to converge, making these methods questionable for the simulation of highly non-equilibrium flows. By examining the convergence issue of Grad's moment methods, we propose a new moment hierarchy to bridge the hydrodynamic models and the kinetic equation, allowing nonlinear moment methods to be used as a numerical tool to discretize the velocity space for high-speed flows. For the case of one-dimensional velocity, the method is formulated for odd number of moments, and it can be extended seamlessly to the three-dimensional case. Numerical tests show that the method is capable of predicting shock structures with high Mach numbers accurately, and the results converge to the solution of the Boltzmann equation as the number of moments increases. Some applications beyond the shock structure problem are also considered, indicating that the proposed method is suitable for the computation of transitional flows.

description: Zero-Error communication investigates communication without any error. By defining channels without probabilities, results from Elias can be used to completely characterize which channel can simulate which other channels. We introduce the ambiguity of a channel, which completely characterizes the possibility in principle of a channel to simulate any other channel. In the second part we will look at networks of players connected by channels, while some players may be corrupted. We will show how the ambiguity of a virtual channel connecting two arbitrary players can be calculated. This means that we can exactly specify what kind of zero-error communication is possible between two players in any network of players connected by channels.

description: Los flujos migratorios de países europeos a América, y en particular a países de América Latina como Argentina y Brasil, y el posterior asentamiento de esos inmigrantes, dieron lugar a culturas híbridas que lograron un anclaje territorial. Entre los saberes que se trasladaron de Europa a América, estaban los usos y costumbres alimenticios y las formas de producir. Estas se adaptaron a las materias primas locales disponibles, y surgieron productos con identidad propia, pero que llevaban-y llevan- los nombres con que habitualmente los designaban en su países de origen. Cuando, a partir de 1940, los Estados comienzan a emitir normas de inocuidad y rotulado de alimentos, esos nombres comunes terminan siendo objeto de codificación legal como “tipos” o “clases” de productos alimenticios. Asi se convierten formalmente, en “nombres genéricos”. En muchos casos, hoy coinciden con nombres geográficos que son Indicaciones Geográficas (IG) y Denominaciones de Origen (DO) protegidas en la Unión Europea, especialmente en quesos, chacinados y vinos. Todos los países signatarios del ADPIC- 1994 y miembros de la OMC, deben proveer protección a las indicaciones geográficas; y para ello, muchos debieron construir marcos legales e institucionales nacionales. Sin embargo, El ADPIC exceptúa a los miembros del a obligación de dar protección a aquellos nombres geográficos que constituyen “…identicas al término habitual en el lenguaje corriente al nombre común de tales bienes en el país miembro”… es decir, los “genéricos”. Argentina y Brasil han recogido esa excepción. Por otra parte, las negociaciones multilaterales y bilaterales (Tratados de Libre Comercio) en torno a la protección de las IG en el mundo continúan, y la UE reclama un reconocimiento efectivo de la exclusividad del uso de los nombres para productos producidos en el lugar geográfico donde históricamente se originaron. Un recorrido breve por Argentina y Brasil –hoy con normativas comunes derivadas del Mercado Común del Sur (MERCOSUR) intenta mostrar las tensiones que se evidencian entre la construcción del marco legal e institucional necesario para implmentar las IG para productos naciones, y la demanda de reconocimiento de IGs europeas, así como clara inexistencia de error o engaño en el consumidor respecto del verdadero origen de los productos.

description: Study objective: Male sex has inconsistently been associated with the development of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). These studies were different in size, design, population and preoperative risk. We reanalysed the database of ‘Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anaesthesia for Surgery study’ (LAS VEGAS) to evaluate differences between females and males with respect to PPCs. Design, setting and patients: Post hoc unmatched and matched analysis of LAS VEGAS, an international observational study in patients undergoing intraoperative ventilation under general anaesthesia for surgery in 146 hospitals across 29 countries. The primary endpoint was a composite of PPCs in the first 5 postoperative days. Individual PPCs, hospital length of stay and mortality were secondary endpoints. Propensity score matching was used to create a similar cohort regarding type of surgery and epidemiological factors with a known association with development of PPCs. Main results: The unmatched cohort consisted of 9697 patients; 5342 (55.1%) females and 4355 (44.9%) males. The matched cohort consisted of 6154 patients; 3077 (50.0%) females and 3077 (50.0%) males. The incidence in PPCs was neither significant between females and males in the unmatched cohort (10.0 vs 10.7%; odds ratio (OR) 0.93 [0.81–1.06]; P = 0.255), nor in the matched cohort (10.5 vs 10.0%; OR 1.05 [0.89–1.25]; P = 0.556). New invasive ventilation occurred less often in females in the unmatched cohort. Hospital length of stay and mortality were similar between females and males in both cohorts. Conclusions: In this conveniently–sized worldwide cohort of patients receiving intraoperative ventilation under general anaesthesia for surgery, the PPC incidence was not significantly different between sexes.

description: Background: Nurse manager role is considered the most complex in health care due to the numerous responsibilities. Lack of management and leadership training has been identified as a major challenge in nursing administration. Previous studies have reported the emergence of multiple complex challenges during disasters.

Aim of Study: This study was conducted to evaluate the challenges faced by Nurse Managers while performing their duties.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between July 1, 2023 and October 30, 2023, at a tertiary hospital in New Delhi. One hundred nurse managers were enrolled in the study. Participants were asked about 34 potential challenges using a structured questionnaire. They were also asked about challenges other than the questionnaire that they had faced at the end.

Result: All challenges were categorized into three categories: major, moderate, and minor. Nine major challenges were identified, such as Inadequate availability of medicine and surgical items in the ward (87%), Insufficient nursing staff (82%), Work with untrained nursing orderly and sanitation workers(79%), Implementation of the policies made without their input (76%), Work with poorly trained subordinate(75%), Patient workload(73%), disobedience of the subordinate(73%), Current indenting process from the store(73%), and no formal management training before taking charge as a Nurse Manager(72%)

Conclusion: Inadequate availability of store supplies, staff shortages, untrained nursing orderlies, and sanitation workers, implementation of policies made without nursing input, poorly trained nursing subordinates, patient workload, and lack of formal training as Nurse Managers were the major issues faced by the majority of respondents.

description: The Portuguese olive oil market had a remarkable development in recent years. Production is rising steadily is response to a EU program supporting a renewal of olive groves. Moreover there is a proliferation of national brands and private labels. These are often associated to regional collective labels or to organic production. The aim of our research is to determine how consumers value these nested names or co-brands. We conducted a pilot survey on a convenience sample of 103 consumers in the Oporto and Lisbon metropolitan areas as well in a rural area. Our results reveal some contradictions, for instance while origin is an important purchasing criteria, few PDO olive oils are recognized. Moreover, only 25% of respondents identify organic olive oils sold in the market and this attribute is one of the last purchasing criteria, but organic olive oils have the highest willingness to pay. Finally we find that associating a PDO to private labels increases willingness to pay by 33.3%, but doesn’t affect valuation of national brands. While we can’t take definite conclusions our findings give us interesting cues for future research. Therefore we aim to investigate whether regional identity, alternative usage and health or environmental conscience determine of affect valuation and choices of different olive oils brands and labels.

description: We show how light can be controllably transported by light at microscale dimensions. We design a miniature device which consists of a short segment of an optical fiber coupled to transversely-oriented input-output microfibers. A whispering gallery soliton is launched from the first microfiber into the fiber segment and slowly propagates along its mm-scale length. The soliton loads and unloads optical pulses at designated input-output microfibers. The speed of the soliton and its propagation direction is controlled by the dramatically small, yet feasible to introduce permanently or all-optically, nanoscale variation of the effective fiber radius.

description: A simple and efficient technique for quantitative solvent-free synthesis of Ni (II) and Co (II) complexes by using ball milling as a green strategy is studied. The isolated solid compounds will be characterized using micro-analytical, thermo-gravimetric, magnetic and spectroscopic studies. Theoretical studies were carried out by applying DFT theory to predict the optimized configuration for all isolated solid complexes. Moreover, the in vitro antimicrobial activity assay versus fungi and bacteria via MIC technique has higher potency of Ni (II) than Co (II). The in vitro cytotoxicity of human muscle rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) via MTT technique and the antioxidant by DPPH free radical scavenging has higher inhibitory effect on complexes than free ligand. The cyclic voltammetry of Co(II) in absence/presence of H2BHNH was investigated to realize the significant effect of complex formation on the electrochemical manners of Co(II).

description: Carbon plate running shoes (CPRSs) have gained widespread popularity among elite and amateur runners, representing one of the most substantial changes in running gear over the past decade. Compared to elite runners, however, amateurs run at lower speeds and show more diverse running styles. This is a meaningful difference as many previous studies on CPRSs focus either on highly trained male runners and higher speeds or only on a single CPRSs manufacturer. The present study aims at bridging this gap by investigating how CPRSs from four different manufacturers affect running economy in amateurs of both sexes at their individual running speeds. For this purpose, 21 trained amateur triathletes (12 men; 9 women) completed an incremental treadmill test until volitional exhaustion, yielding running speeds at ventilatory thresholds 1 (vVT1) and 2 (vVT2). In a second session, subjects ran five trials of 3 × 3 min (speeds of 90% vVT1, ½ (vVT1 + vVT2), and 100% vVT2), wearing one out of four different pairs of CPRSs or their own preferred non-CPRS shoes in each trial. Our results show that tested CPRS models resulted in a significant reduction in the mean energy cost of transport, compared to the non-CPRS control condition, with Cohen’s d amounting to −1.52 (p = 0.016), 2.31 (p < 0.001), 2.57 (p < 0.001), and 2.80 (p < 0.001), respectively, although effect sizes varied substantially between subjects and running speeds. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that amateur athletes may benefit from various manufacturers’ CPRS models at their typical running speeds to a similar degree as highly trained runners. It is recommended that amateur athletes evaluate a range of CPRSs and select the shoe that elicits the least subjective sensation of fatigue over a testing distance of at least 400–1000 m.

description: Dans cet article nous cherchons à présenter la configuration sociale et spatiale du territoire fromager dans le Sertão du Sergipe basé sur des rapports de proximité et réciprocité et un fort sentiment d’appartenance des acteurs à leur territoire. Cette configuration originale a permis le développement d’un bassin laitier, associant un grand nombre de producteurs familiaux, aujourd’hui à l’origine de la création d’emplois et revenus en milieu rural, du maintien de nouvelles activités économiques et de la promotion d’un savoir-faire traditionnel et des produits typiques (fromages à pâte pressée ou cuits). Ces derniers sont ancrés dans l'histoire d’hommes et femmes partageant une même identité, un même territoire: agriculteurs, producteurs de fromage, commerçants et consommateurs. Notre approche s’appuie sur le concept de système agroalimentaire localisé – SYAL - et a pour objectif de réfléchir aux actions publiques. Nous partons du principe que l’Etat a un rôle important à jouer dans la structuration d’un réseau de densité organisationnelle du territoire pour une qualification et régulation des activités économiques et sociales. Ceci passe en premier lieur par la reconnaissance par l’Etat du rôle de ces activités traditionnelles dans la reproduction sociale et culturelle de plusieurs familles du Sertão est un élément majeur pour penser de nouveaux programmes d’action politique et développement territorial dans une région pauvre. Dans cette perspective, nous proposons de discuter sur les récents instruments de protection et de valorisation Indication Géographique et patrimoine immatériel et leur capacité à construire de nouveaux paradigmes de développement du secteur fromager artisanal

D'un cote, FROGi offre aux developpeurs de services OSGi un modele a composants extensibles qui facilite le developpement des bundles ; ces derniers restent toutefois compatibles avec les bundles "patrimoniaux". D'un autre cote, FROGi beneficie de l'infrastructure de deploiement que represente OSGi et qui facilite la realisation du conditionnement et du deploiement de composants Fractal. Dans FROGi, une application Fractal est conditionnee sous la forme d'un ou plusieurs bundles et elle peut etre deployee de facon partielle et les activites de deploiement peuvent avoir lieu de facon continue. -- This paper presents FROGi, a proposal to introduce the Fractal component model into the OSGi services platform. There are two motivations for this work. The first one is to offer a flexible component model to the OSGi developers to simplify bundle development. Bundles developed with FROGi are nevertheless compatible with standard bundles. The second motivation is to leverage OSGi's deployment capabilities to package and deploy Fractal components. In FROGi, a Fractal application is packaged and delivered as a set of OSGi bundles; such an application supports partial deployment and additionally, deployment activities can occur continuously.

description: Language representations are known to carry stereotypical biases and, as a result, lead to biased predictions in downstream tasks. While existing methods are effective at mitigating biases by linear projection, such methods are too aggressive: they not only remove bias, but also erase valuable information from word embeddings. We develop new measures for evaluating specific information retention that demonstrate the tradeoff between bias removal and information retention. To address this challenge, we propose OSCaR (Orthogonal Subspace Correction and Rectification), a bias-mitigating method that focuses on disentangling biased associations between concepts instead of removing concepts wholesale. Our experiments on gender biases show that OSCaR is a well-balanced approach that ensures that semantic information is retained in the embeddings and bias is also effectively mitigated.

description: The paper assess uncertainty of future spatial allocation of agricultural land in Europe. To assess the possible future development of agricultural production and land for the period 2000 – 2030, two contrasting scenarios are constructed. The scenarios storylines lead to different measurable assumptions concerning scenario specific drivers (variables) and parameters. Many of them are estimations and thus include a certain level of uncertainty regarding their true values. This leads to uncertainty of the scenario outcomes. In this study we use sensitivity analysis to estimate the uncertainty of agricultural land use.

description: We compute the two-mass contributions to the polarized massive operator matrix element $A_{gg,Q}^{(3)}$ at third order in the strong coupling constant $α_s$ in Quantum Chromodynamics analytically. These corrections are important ingredients for the matching relations in the variable flavor number scheme and for the calculation of Wilson coefficients in deep--inelastic scattering in the asymptotic regime $Q^2 \gg m_c^2, m_b^2$. The analytic result is expressed in terms of nested harmonic, generalized harmonic, cyclotomic and binomial sums in $N$-space and by iterated integrals involving square-root valued arguments in $z$ space, as functions of the mass ratio. Numerical results are presented. New two--scale iterative integrals are calculated.

description: This paper studies quantum refereed games, which are quantum interactive proof systems with two competing provers: one that tries to convince the verifier to accept and the other that tries to convince the verifier to reject. We prove that every language having an ordinary quantum interactive proof system also has a quantum refereed game in which the verifier exchanges just one round of messages with each prover. A key part of our proof is the fact that there exists a single quantum measurement that reliably distinguishes between mixed states chosen arbitrarily from disjoint convex sets having large minimal trace distance from one another. We also show how to reduce the probability of error for some classes of quantum refereed games.

description: A small library of arylsulfonamido-alkyl sulfamates was prepared by a two-step synthesis from readily available starting materials. The compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit bovine carbonic anhydrase II. Several of them were found as good competitive inhibitors holding Ki values as low as Ki = 0.9 μM (compound 47b). The activity was influenced by the substitution pattern of the arylsulfonamide moiety as well as the length of the spacer to the distal sulfamate group. Molecular docking studies were used to substantiate these findings. For the aryl-substituted analogues, the increase in inhibitory activity for compounds with a shorter spacer can be explained by stabilization via aromatic π-interactions. For the cyclopropyl or methylsulfonyl substituted analogues, their inhibitory activity can be attributed to their reduced steric hindrance. These results provide a basis for designing effective CA II inhibitors.

description: The most common and deadly type of lung cancers around the globe was the non-small-cell lung cancer with approximately 1.5 million cases and a 5-year survival rate of less than 20%. Therefore, there is need for more active drugs to treat this problem. Molecular docking study was carried out on thirty two set of anilinopyrimidines analogues as epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors using Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD). Ten (10) compounds with the best plant scores (binding affinities) among the compounds under investigation were reported in this study. All the ten compounds were observed to have plant score between −75.2644 to −94.2497, respectively. Their interactions in the active site of their target receptor (3IKA) were via hydrogen, hydrophobic, and electrostatic bonds sharing the following common amino acid residues LEU718, LEU844, PHE732, ALA743, VAL726, and MET793, respectively. This study also predicts the ADMET properties of these compounds under investigation and found to have good pharmacokinetic properties. It further predicts their drug-likeness properties and found to be orally bioavailable with good bioavailability scores. It concluded that these compounds could be used as potential drugs for the treatment of EGFRT790M/ L858R double mutations.

description: Durch die Verpflichtung zur regelmäßigen Erhebung des Weaningspotenziales gem. §37c SGB V ist mit einem Anstieg der Weaningversuche bei Langzeitbeatmeten in der außerklinischen Intensivpflege zu rechnen. Diese sind dabei regelmäßig einem hohen Mortalitätsrisiko ausgesetzt. Daraus ergeben sich Fragen zur ärztlichen Strafbarkeit, die den medizinischen Standard und die Aufklärungsanforderungen beim Weaning zum Gegenstand haben. Auch wenn die hohen Beweisanforderungen das Strafbarkeitsrisiko häufig begrenzen werden, können insbesondere Fehler bei der Indikationsstellung zu einer Strafbarkeit führen.

description: La Mora (Rubus Glaucus Benth) es un cultivo relativamente pequeño en el contexto de la agricultura colombiana. No obstante, en la última década, se ha aumentado el área cultivada y la productividad por hectárea en diferentes zonas de Colombia, esto debido principalmente a la implementación de políticas públicas y estrategias gubernamentales articuladoras, que han generado interesantes dinámicas de cooperación y coordinación entre actores privados y públicos que intervienen en diferentes eslabones de la cadena de valor de la mora, con el objetivo de mejorar su desempeño económico y social. El caso de la “cadena de la mora” en el departamento de Caldas puede ser ilustrativo para analizar cómo se generan procesos de gobernanza en la construcción de cadenas de valor y cómo éstas contribuyen a la conformación de Sistemas Agroalimentarios Locales. En consecuencia, el objetivo de esta comunicación es analizar la gobernanza de la cadena de la mora para hacer más eficiente su desempeño en el ámbito de los Sistemas Agroalimentarios Locales. Si bien la interrelación y coordinación entre actores se enmarca dentro de un programa gubernamental diseñado para tal fin, distintos factores, comportamiento del mercado, políticas macro y micro económicas y sectoriales, intereses de actores privados, condiciones de producción y de organización, determinan el proceso de toma de decisiones en la cadena. Por consiguiente, tanto el desempeño social y económico, como la distribución de los beneficios sociales y económicos de la cadena, van a depender en gran medida de la concertación de los actores en la toma de decisiones, lo cual bajo el principio de gobernanza, puede contribuir a una mayor eficiencia en los sistemas productivos, así como a una mayor equidad en la distribución de los beneficios de la cadena. En primer lugar se presenta un referente conceptual sobre gobernanza con énfasis en su aplicación en Colombia, en segundo término se identifican los diferentes actores (públicos y privados) de la cadena señalando las alianzas entre éstos, en tercer término se analiza el desempeño y la distribución de los beneficios sociales, económicos y ambientales de la cadena de valor, bajo la propuesta de Marco Analítico de Gobernanza, y a modo de conclusión, se analiza el proceso de gobernanza en la cadena de la mora en Caldas.

description: This letter reports microwave dielectric measurements performed in the antiferroelectric phase of NaNbO3 ceramics from 100 to 450 K. Remarkable dielectric relaxations were found within the antiferroelectric phase and in the vicinity of ferroelectric-antiferroelectric phase transition. Such dielectric relaxation process was associated with relaxations of polar nanoregions with strong relaxor-like characteristic. In addition, the microwave dielectric measurements also revealed an unexpected and unusual anomaly in the relaxation strength, which was related to a disruption of the antiferroelectric order induced by a possible AFE-AFE phase transition.

description: En este artículo se aborda una doble paradoja que envuelve la gobernanza de los SIAL: por un lado, la emergencia de un consumidor que demanda productos específicos y con características propias de los territorios, involucrándose en formas de comercio justo y redes éticas de intercambio; pero por otro lado, las crecientes exigencias que se ciernen sobre el productor, para garantizar la autenticidad del producto y el cumplimiento de normas ambientales mediante mecanismos de certificación, la mayor de las veces ajenos al productor, provocan nuevas formas de desigualdad y asimetrías en la organización y la acción colectiva tanto al interior de las comunidades como al exterior de las mismas. El artículo se divide en tres partes en las que se analizan las disyuntivas y problemas de la gobernanza, se abordan sus relaciones conceptuales y se establece su importancia para las políticas públicas con base en estudios e investigaciones empíricas emprendidas en municipios de Tlanepantla y Nativitas, en los estado de Morelos y Tlaxcala, en el Centro de México; y en Los Reyes e Ixhuatlán del Café en Michoacán, en el occidente del país y en Veracruz, en el oriente. Los trabajos de campo se realizaron en el marco del proyecto “Sistemas Agroalimentarios Locales en México. Identidad Territorial, construcción de capital social e instituciones”.

description: This review explores the intricate relationship between glaucoma and circadian rhythm disturbances. As a principal organ for photic signal reception and transduction, the eye plays a pivotal role in coordinating the body's circadian rhythms through specialized retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), particularly intrinsically photosensitive RGCs (ipRGCs). These cells are critical in transmitting light signals to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), the central circadian clock that synchronizes physiological processes to the 24-hour light-dark cycle. The review delves into the central circadian body clock, highlighting the importance of the retino-hypothalamic tract in conveying light information from the eyes to the SCN. It underscores the role of melanopsin in ipRGCs in absorbing light and initiating biochemical reactions that culminate in the synchronization of the SCN's firing patterns with the external environment. Furthermore, the review discusses local circadian rhythms within the eye, such as those affecting photoreceptor sensitivity, corneal thickness, and intraocular fluid outflow. It emphasizes the potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in studying structural losses of RGCs in glaucoma and the associated circadian rhythm disruption. Glaucomatous retinal damage is identified as a cause of circadian disruption, with mechanisms including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and direct damage to RGCs. The consequences of such disruption are complex, affecting systemic and local circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, mood, and metabolism. Countermeasures, with implications for glaucoma management, are proposed that focus on strategies to improve circadian health through balanced melatonin timing, daylight exposure, and potential chronotherapeutic approaches. The review calls for further research to elucidate the mechanisms linking glaucoma and circadian disruption and to develop effective interventions to address this critical aspect of the disease.

description: Based on the Pomeranchuk theorem, one constructs the $δ(s)$ parameter to measure the difference between experimental data for the particle-particle and particle-antiparticle total cross section at the same energy. The experimental data for the proton-proton and proton-antiproton total cross section were used to show that, at the same energy, this parameter tends to zero as the collision energy grows. Furthermore, one assumes a classical description of the total cross section, dividing it into a finite number of non-interacting disjoint cells, each one containing a quark-antiquark pair subject to the confinement potential. Near the minimum of the total cross section, one associates $δ(s)$ with the entropy generated by these cells, analogous to the XY model. Using both the Quigg-Rosner and Cornell confinement potentials and neglecting other energy contributions, one can calculate the internal energy of the hadron. One obtains that both the entropy and internal energy possess the same logarithmic dependence on the spatial separation between the pairs in the cell. The Helmholtz free energy is used to estimate the transition temperature, which is far from the temperature widely related to the Quark-Gluon Plasma.

description: Peri-urban landscapes are transitional areas between urban and rural areas that are constantly changing. They are characterised by land use mixes and land cover changes, leading to significant changes in wildlife habitats. These changes, combined with an increasing anthropogenic presence, turn peri-urban landscapes into arenas of intensified human-wildlife interactions. In many scientifically documented cases, scientists are focusing on negative interactions. Furthermore, research about appropriate policy instruments for managing human-wildlife interactions is rare. This study focused on case studies and their characteristics from around the world on positive, neutral, or negative interactions between humans and wildlife at local level. In addition, influencing factors of human-wildlife interactions and policy instruments for managing human-wildlife interactions in peri-urban landscapes were addressed. A survey was conducted with an international group of scientists and practitioners working in this field. The results showed that various species were involved in human-wildlife interactions in peri-urban landscapes worldwide, with mammals as being the most common taxon. Contemporary changes in land use and land cover could be identified as a significant factor for increasing human-wildlife interactions in peri-urban landscapes. It can be highlighted that a policy mix consisting mainly of social and cultural instruments in combination with legal and regulatory instruments could be most suitable to address this situation.
