Introduction: people with disabilities represent around 10% of the population. The most common of the muscular dystrophies is Duchenne, a recessive X-linked disorder that affects 1 in 3,500 males. Objectives: characterize the clinical and genetic findings of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Methods: an observational and descriptive study was carried out in a series of 9 patients evaluated at the Department of Medical Genetics of Pinar del Río, Cuba in the period from January 2014 to December 2023. Results: 78% of the total cases were diagnosed between 5 and 8 years of age, in 66.6% of the patients a family history of the disease was reported. Delayed psychomotor development and gastrocnemius pseudohypertrophy were highlighted in 100% of cases followed by gait disturbance, Gowers sign and hyporeflexia in 88.8% of patients. In 77.7% of the patients, deletion-type mutations were identified in some of the exons analyzed. Conclusions: The clinical and molecular characterization of the disease allows the diagnosis to be made and subsequently provides tools to primary care professionals to provide assistance, coordinate care with appropriate specialists, provide genetic counseling not only to the index case but also to the families to screen for female carriers.

Introductions: myotonic dystrophy type 1 is a genetic disorder with great clinical variability in which there is a positive association between the number or size of the cytosine, thymine, guanine triplet repeats and the severity of the manifestations. The disorder exhibits an intergenerational anticipation phenomenon that explains the earlier age of onset of signs and the greater expression of clinical signs. Objetive: to describe the prenatal manifestations of myotonic dystrophy type 1.  Clinical case: 22-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of DM1 since she was 6 years old and with a family history of the disorder through the mother's line who came to the clinic with a 22-week pregnancy. Multiple signs were reported when performing prenatal fetal ultrasonography due to: presentation maintained in the pelvic region, slight ventriculomegaly, lower limbs extended and with ventral flexion on the trunk as well as both equinus feet. The birth occurred with a gestation period of 33.6 weeks, the Apgar test was 3-3-3, birth weight 2450 gr. Conclusions: the severity of the congenital form of myotonic dystrophy type 1 requires close monitoring by a multidisciplinary team that extends from the preconception stage, to detect the possible complications described that worsen the quality of life of patients and their families, and may even to the death of both the mother and the newborn, especially during the first year of life.

Abstract
Introduction: Cesarean section is a surgical technique through an incision in the abdominal and uterine wall, before an unfeasible vaginal delivery or if there is maternal or fetal risk. The risk of bleeding in surgeries such as caesarean section does not allow early ambulation to begin, so it will be dependent on the care of the nurse. Objective: To recognize the role of nursing in the management of acute pain and uterine atony in a post-cesarean patient due to premature rupture of membranes in a National Hospital of Ayacucho, 2021. Methodology: Qualitative clinical case study, 29-year-old patient selected for convenience ; in which the Nursing Care Process (PAE) was applied as a methodology and the data collection instrument was the assessment sheet according to the eleven functional patterns of Marjory Gordon. Results: Nine nursing diagnoses have been identified, of which, through the AREA model, acute pain related to injury by physical agent has been prioritized: operative wound. Nursing interventions were carried out according to the NOC and NIC taxonomy, obtaining favorable results for the patient. Regarding the risk of complication, uterine atony, it is not yet possible to specify the results since the risk will continue in the coming days. Conclusions: The identification of the clinical aspects of the post-cesarean patient due to premature rupture of membranes was carried out, the interventions achieved favorable results in the patient. However, care is still continued due to the risk of uterine atony and, consequently, postpartum hemorrhage

Results showed a positive association between CSR and financial performance, with 60% of the studies supporting this relationship. Additionally, the importance of CSR disclosure and the need for effective management aligned with international standards were highlighted. In the survey, it was found that the majority of companies had formal CSR policies and believed in their importance for future success. This suggests that investment in socially responsible practices can have positive impacts on both brand reputation and financial outcomes for Colombian companies. In conclusion, CSR emerges as a key factor for sustainable development in Colombian companies

The substitute indemnity for the old-age pension stands as an economic benefit for the worker who failed to comply with the number of weeks required by the Law for the recognition of the old-age pension, having to profess Law 100 of 1993, erected a General Pension System divided into a medium premium regime with a defined benefit administered by the Colombian Pension Administrator – COLPENSIONES; and, an individual savings scheme with solidarity, where a group of private fund insurers proliferate.
Now, the aforementioned norm established in article 151, that the General Pension System would enter into force for public servants at the departmental, municipal and district level as of June 30, 1995 (Law 100, 1993), therefore, in advance As of that date, this charge was at the head of the social security funds of the territorial entities, finding that some of them were not affiliated to said funds or despite being, the benefit was denied when it was specified that the introduction of this benefit did not applied to such employees.
Thus, it is important from the pronouncements of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice, the contrast that is presented in the subject in question will be established, since it has been indicated by the aforementioned corporations that rights such as social security by the government of Caldas, by not recognizing the substitute compensation for employees terminated prior to June 30, 1995

In order to establish any approach to reparation for victims, it is necessary to establish the context in which violence has developed in Colombia; Thus, two main moments and a context that precedes them are established. In Colombia during the last 70 years it has been a constant story in the nation, in Colombia historiography a milestone was caused with the death of the leader Jorge Eliecer Gaitán, an event which began the first phase of violence from a bipartisan tone. Subsequently, the second phase arises from an insurgent nature and finally the last phase is related to violence fueled by drug trafficking. In this last stage, which began in the 1980s, there was a growth of insurgent forces on the one hand and, in addition, an emergence of paramilitary forces. These are the armed actors that will seriously affect Colombian society and will have to be called transitional justice in this process.
In the 1980s, the insurgent forces at the height of their growth made the strategic decision to kidnap notable people of high economic value, in addition to other crimes that violated fundamental human rights. So the guerrilla forces were the authors of the consolidation of their alternative or paramilitary forces, which tended to be financed by money from powerful people behind drug trafficking in the context of the 1980s, who constituted the counterproposal to the insurgency that at first it was called “Death to Kidnappers”, meanwhile the paramilitary forces received financing, training, equipment, weapons and political support from various sectors of society. 
So, in principle, it has been the serious effects that many independent actors in the conflict had that we want to repair in the contexts of demobilization processes, whether with paramilitary or guerrilla leaders. In that context of the 80s, several types of crimes were committed that would later be understood as victimizing acts, knowing in detail the scourges of kidnapping, torture, the dispossession of land, the commission of massacres, the forced disappearance of people, terrorism, among others. These are the same aspects that through transitional justice we hope to address, know and understand in order to advance as a Colombian society

Procrastination in the contemporary workplace, a complex phenomenon, has been thoroughly investigated from its causes to its management strategies in a comprehensive research project. Lack of intrinsic motivation and low self-efficacy emerge as key elements in the genesis of work-related procrastination, and their interconnection creates a detrimental cycle. Social expectations and organizational culture play a crucial role, influencing the tendency to postpone tasks. Individually, procrastination is linked to elevated stress levels, decreased job satisfaction, and impaired self-esteem, while at the organizational level, it affects labor efficiency, work quality, and competitiveness. Management strategies, both at the individual and organizational levels, underscore the importance of self-regulation, time management, and the creation of environments that foster self-discipline. This comprehensive analysis underscores the need to simultaneously address psychological, sociocultural, and organizational aspects to effectively manage work-related procrastination, thereby promoting healthier and more productive work environments

Scientific development in Latin America is heavily influenced by the region's political and economic instability. Throughout the 20th century, a regional knowledge dissemination circuit emerged alongside the global academic circuit. The existence of a regional academic circuit entails several advantages, such as allowing research projects to address regionally relevant topics. However, academic capital accumulated in the global circuit transfers more readily to the regional circuit than its inverse; in this regard, integration into each of these circuits has significant consequences on scientists' careers.

Using bibliometric data from the Dimensions database, this article examines the relationship between gender inequalities in the scientific field and the integration of Latin American scientists into regional and global academic circuits from 1993 to 2022. Our results show phases of both expansion and contraction in the regional knowledge circuit during this period. Despite a general increase in women's participation in the scientific field throughout this period, gender disparities persist: while women tend to be more engaged in the regional circuit, men are mainly involved in the global circuit.

Political polarisation and the empowerment of the libertarian right is a pressing problem in today's democracies. Previous studies have shown a gender gap in support for the libertarian right, with young male populations standing out(1,2). In turn, these right-wingers reproduce hateful, anti-rights, or outright anti-feminist discourses(3), based on biologicist perspectives.
Our paper presents results of dataset analysis obtained during the 2019 (4) and 2023 presidential elections. The relationship between political ideology (PI) and age and gender identity was analysed. Using a Multinomial Model, the 2019 PASO base (n=2105) showed significance for the interaction age and gender, with 75% of the population of right-wing males aged 15-30 (compared to 45% of females in the same age range). For the general election (n=1172) the gap was smaller but still males perceived themselves to be more right-wing. The 2023 general election base (n=1380) showed that men were significantly more conservative and right-wing, with the 15-30 age range standing out. They were also closer to Milei (age range 15-45), while women were closer to Bregman. For the Ballotage base (n=1270), it was observed that men were more right-wing than women, but in this case a right-wing population of women aged 30-45 stood out, close to Milei.
These results allow us to identify populations that are receptive to right-wing libertarian ideas. Although it remains to be analysed more factors that condition the predilection of young men for a right-wing proposal, as well as to evaluate the discourses that appeal to these populations, the gender gap in the population suggests that these are positions that are contrary to women's rights and dissidence won by feminism

This presentation sought to reflect upon the prefixes historically used to name those entities which cannot be bounded to a single, fixed, discreet category. Contributions from Linguistics were taken as a starting point to then extrapolate its concepts to the analysis of scientific practice in general. Thus, first, different conceptions of linguistic relations were compared and contrasted: from mono to bi, multi, inter, and finally, translingualism, with special attention to power issues, border demarcation, and speaker characterization in each of these paradigms. Second, a correspondence between analogous categories which describe and study contacts among scientific disciplines (multi, inter and transdiscipline) was tried out. Finally, the reach and limitations of applying this linguistic metaphor to the analysis of hybridization and exchanges within the scientific field were assessed, as well as its potential to induce changes in knowledge classification and production practices

The United Nations System (UN), along with a series of linked Intergovernmental Organizations (IOs), are presented as some of the most important actors on the world stage. This System directly influences public policies, laws, and instruments of the different States of Latin America and the Caribbean.(1) Under this premise, we study one of these organizations, aimed at the environmental problems of our region, called: "Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services" (IPBES). Specifically, we investigate this platform based on the document entitled: "Regional Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Americas".(2) We argue that IPBES (like the entire UN System) functions as an ideological apparatus that implements Western global designs that legitimize the inferiorization of non-Western knowledge and epistemologies.(3) Thus, our objective is to dismantle the epistemic strategy used by IPBES, called "Nature's Contributions to People" (NCP), to evidence and denounce the privilege granted to eropean-north-american scientific-ecological knowledge. Our results aim to denounce the privileges granted to ecological knowledge through the theoretical strategy implemented by IPBES (NCP). This theoretical strategy organizes and stabilizes a representation of our natures through categories that support european-north-american dominance and that, tacitly, inferiorize knowledge from our region. As has been pointed out, the reverse of privileging scientific knowledge is the inferiorization of other knowledge

Introduction. Stress is one of the most frequent current mental health problems among the Latin American population, mainly related to social, work and academic spaces. Receptive music therapy interventions are used for stress reduction and include musical and/or vibrational perception. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of music therapy (MI) interventions of music listening (MI), vibroacoustic stimulation (VAS) and vibroacoustic music therapy (VAMT, combination of MI + VAS) on stress. Method. Thirty people (18 to 50 years old) from Córdoba and Buenos Aires, Argentina were participated in this study. Blood pressure, emotional state, relaxation and stress were evaluated before and after the interventions. There was a control condition (listening to the story). Results. No significant differences were found in blood pressure. On subjective states, MS presented a lower level of mental calmness compared to the other groups. More interestingly, the EV group had higher levels of tranquility when comparing pre- and post-intervention values. In terms of stress, the control group presented the highest levels compared to the other three groups in the post-intervention phase. In addition, there was a decrease in stress in the EM, EV and MTV groups between the pre- and post-intervention phases. Conclusion. The results of this preliminary study show that interventions that include music or vibration reduce stress states. However, more research is needed to advance this issue

Biodiversity loss has become one of the most relevant issues of our time in the context of environmental crisis. Conservation biology has established itself, since the 1980s, as the scientific field par excellence aimed at addressing this loss(1). Under the argument that their conservation results in a good chance of preserving all forms of life, animal species (particularly large mammals) have become the main focus of conservation. Now, what is the so-called animal that we are conserving? The aim of this presentation is to problematize the conception of the animal in conservation biology, and then to think about what other animalities and ways of linking ourselves are possible. To do so, we will make use of certain approaches offered by the field of critical animal studies, which questions the human/animal dichotomy that leads to an inferiorization of the animal with respect to the human(2,3,4). Thus, we will recover the hypothesis proposed by Jacques Derrida in The animal that therefore I am: generally it is possible to recognize the discourse of experts who, although they have observed and analyzed the animal, have never recognized the gaze of an other who also observes them(5). Through this anthropocentric conception of the animal that would mobilize this field of biology, a hierarchical or speciesist treatment of non-human animals is enabled in conservationist contexts. The challenge, then, will be to rethink conservation biology in order to devise non-speciesist ways of dealing with biodiversity loss

Music-based interventions consist of the implementation of musical experiences for educational and/or therapeutic purposes, and their effect resides mainly in the emotional states they generate.(1) Based on the evidence on the mechanisms underlying Emotional Induction through Music (EIM), European musical pieces are usually used which, due to their acoustic characteristics, are classified as arousing and relaxing.(2)  These have been tested and validated in other sociocultural contexts, but it is unknown if they can induce the same states in our population, or if it would be more effective to work with local pieces. With the purpose of knowing if EIM depends only on musical characteristics, or if other sociocultural factors intervene in the process, an experiment was carried out comparing the psychophysiological response (heart rate variability, dermal conductance and subjective assessment) of 28 participants (M = 27.45; SD = 1.31) while listening to musical pieces of Latin American and European origin, both arousing and relaxing. Subjectively, the arousing pieces were rated as more exciting and positive than the relaxing Latin American piece; and this, more than the relaxing European piece. Likewise, the pattern of physiological activity suggests that there was greater sympathetic activity during listening to the arousing Latin American piece, and greater parasympathetic activity during the relaxing pieces, especially the Latin American one. These findings show that sociocultural proximity to music is a central factor in EIM, and it should be considered when designing music-based educational and/or therapeutic intervention strategies

This work analyzes the challenges facing public universities in the face of the rise of the new Latin American rights in this new century. To this end, it discusses the political situation and the new (and old) Latin American rights, highlighting their diversity, both in their origin and in their program, their transnational action and their relations with the new neoliberalism in the region, in which we can highlight the development of a libertarian, authoritarian, mercantilist and entrepreneurial perspective on education. From this, considering such regional diversity, it analyzes the impacts of such a political perspective on the public university and the democratization of higher education, discussing various experiences of the new Latin American right that, although resuming old policies, seek to question and minimize the role of public universities cutting their funding, commodifying higher education, including privatization and, mainly, questioning the meaning of public university education. While recognizing the diversity and differences of national processes and cases, this analysis seeks to understand the common elements that challenge public higher education in the region in this new century

Political Ideology (PI) is a system of representations that can serve as an anchor at the cognitive (individual) level to evaluate relevant information in Complex Decision Making (CDM (1)), but also as a political (social) map on which to identify options (2). This can be understood as a cognitive shortcut (heuristic) of information to make decisions with minimum cognitive effort (3) (more automatically).
Two online experiments were conducted through the Neuron.AR platform during the Argentinean elections (general and ballotage) of 2023 to evaluate how PI modulates the valuation of semantic content and induces a change of opinion. In both, personal information (age, gender, residence, social status, etc) of the subjects was recorded. The political and ideological orientation of the participants was characterized through their self-perception, and operationally on a scale of progressivism and conservatism (based on the response to conservative or progressive items (4)), the closeness to the candidates and the political (symbolic) perception of candidates. Then, the change in the valuation of the items of the conservatism or progressivism scale was evaluated, but this time associated with a right-wing or left-wing candidate.
The first experiment was carried out by 2839 people and the second by 1294. The symbolic and operational PI scales correlated consistently. From left to right, the candidates were ranked in the following order: Bregman, Massa, Schiaretti, Bullrich and Milei. Participants who identified more to the left or to the right showed greater change in ratings of both conservative and progressive items, regardless of whether these items were associated with a right- or left-wing candidate. The results support the hypothesis that ideology may function as a heuristic anchor, rather than a social map, in the process of monitoring information relevant to BDT

The development and use of open-source tools for participatory environmental assessment constitute a fertile field for the construction of environmental knowledge and wisdom. Here, we present preliminary results of a participatory assessment experience in seven coastal localities in the province of Buenos Aires through a mobile phone application that allows for the calculation of a Coastal Environmental Quality Index (ICALi). This index was constructed based on 10 multiple-choice questions aimed at evaluating the environmental quality of coastal areas, considering observable aspects such as the presence and type of flora and fauna, coastal morphology, or organoleptic properties of water. The application was developed on an open-access platform, enabling not only its free use but also modification by users. Its implementation took place through workshop sessions with secondary schools and socio-environmental organizations, including participatory mapping of environmental conflicts, field trips using the app, and sharing and analysis of results. The application of the tool by teachers and residents of different coastal areas allowed for obtaining index values at each surveyed site. Comparing the values obtained for different points at the local and provincial levels enabled recognition of the value of coastal areas as natural public spaces, highlighting the main difficulties for their preservation and care. Additionally, the critical use of the tool was evidenced, allowing for the collection of improvement proposals. Participatory research processes were promoted, generating spaces for exchange and construction of contextualized environmental knowledge in each territory

Research on musical aesthetic patterns on different decades of the second part of the last twentieth century allowed specific studies based on frequency and amplitude data. This approach is carried out mainly to locate musical instruments and their relations inside the stereo image (the traditional audio virtual space), so a bidimensional map development was determined as a key part for finding spatial distribution patterns on different periods of stereo music masters -to be able to characterize timbral aesthetics from a measured perspective-. This article presents the concepts, methodology and the analysis performed, a well all their results. Hence, a new approach of musical sound sources conceptualization inside the stereo image is presented, where they are either spectral or dynamic component constellations. Additionally, this concept and approach could apply to any kind of sound sources inside a recorded signa

Introduction: Music-based interventions in cognitive neuroscience research have gained prominence.(1,2) Previous studies have shown that musical perception following learning impacts consolidation, improving long-term memory.(3,4,5,6) Additionally, it has been evidenced that social context affects the emotional experience induced through music, generating more intense positive emotions.(7) The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of musical perception and social context on the consolidation of emotional memory in adults.
Methodology: Sixty-four participants aged between 20 and 50 years (M = 26.08, SD = 1.22) viewed 36 images (positive, negative, and neutral), and then were assigned to one of four conditions for three minutes: listening to an activating piece of music alone; or with company; silence alone; or with company. Long and short memory was evaluated, and other variables such as liking and familiarity with the music were assessed.
Results: There was a trend for groups that listened to music to have a better memory of positive images compared to groups that were in silence. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between musical liking and memory of positive images.
Conclusions: Listening to music with company may improve the memory of emotional images similar to what occurs when listening alone. It is necessary to confirm this by controlling context variables such as musical choice, the application of the protocol in-person, and the bond with the company

Introduction: Mixed methods research has the potential to combine the use of quantitative and qualitative techniques and methods so that the greatest possible potential of fieldwork is achieved. The complexity of individual-environment relationships in situations that put health and life trajectories at stake is an appropriate context for applying the mixed approach. Here it presents its application in a work with people with Parkinson's Disease (PwPD). Methods: Intensive, situated, sequential mixed method approach with qualitative dominance, working with a non-parametric and convenience sample of PwPD in a local context. Results: It was observed that coping strategies did not show significant quantitative differences between two events determined a priori by the researcher based on the background (COVID-19 pandemic and diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease (PD)); However, qualitatively we found that the diagnosis constituted a clear turning point common to PwPD, unlike the pandemic. Conclusions: Although the initial intention was to work on the impact of the pandemic on the lives of PwPD (knowing from published background that the pandemic had affected people with chronic diseases whether or not they had suffered from coronavirus), the development of the study led to resuming their life stories, emphasizing the particular issues linked to living with Parkinson's. Contrary to the assumptions, the determination of the coronavirus pandemic had not had the relevance as a turning point that the diagnosis of PD did represent

The proposal consists of presenting the progress of the current Master's thesis project in Social Sciences, whose object of study is the sentiments of the bodies-territories produced by the population of the Costa Oeste neighborhood, in the city of Allen (Río Negro), in its connection with the Negro River.
The importance of the river crosses several areas that make life possible in the region, and Costa Oeste is the neighborhood of the city of Allen closest to it. However, between 2012 and 2013, the method of non-conventional extraction of hydrocarbons is consolidated in the region. It appears the need to propose narratives that include as categories the territory, the body and nature in the analysis of the resulting socio-environmental conflicts.
The proposal is inserted in the field of social, legal and territorial studies; from transdisciplinary, situated and gender perspectives. The proposal is to investigate how the community of the West Coast Neighborhood feels their body territories in their relationship with the Negro River. In this way, attention will be paid to the meanings that the people of the neighborhood attribute to the territory, to their bodies, and to the Negro River. We also inquire about the transformations that can be observed when thinking about bodies-territories in the current neo-extractivist context. Finally, we will analyze how the political-legal decisions that have implemented the neo-extractivist model in the region have influenced the production of sentipensares in the body-territories

The paper reviewed the book “Organology, or the new research organization. Epistemological and methodological guidelines of the complex thought”, by Elvio Galati. The idea of seeing a philosophy of methodology, a gnoseology of methodology, an epistemology of methodology, a methodology technique, an ethics of methodology, a pedagogy of methodology, a politics of methodology and a criticism of methodology, implied a philosophical idea related to a new and original organization of methodology, called “Organology”. This network space examined the interaction of all the areas linked to the study of methodology according to complex thought and joined the different research dimensions. 
    This paper had 4 parts: the author, the scientory of the book, what the book is about and the explanation of Organology, and the structure of the book. The book is structured based on the 10 subparts of Organology: its philosophy, its history, its gnoseology, its systemics and the units of knowledge integration, its holography and recursiveness, its politics, its methodology, its ethics, its pedagogy and its criticism. Things are not by themselves, but they relate. The methodological simplicity that implies separating in disciplines, importing recipes, oversizing the experts’ knowledge and infringing the researcher’s freedom is questioned. 
    The method is not only in Methodology. The researcher is the measure of its method, the methods that relate, that they relate. The method is about to be done and the super-researcher will participate in its production

This study focuses on the prevention of dengue and leptospirosis in vulnerable populations in the riverside area of the city of Santa Fe, Argentina, comparing the effectiveness of vector and reservoir control strategies through participatory interventions with a community approach, compared to traditional vertical strategies in riverside areas of Santa Fe. 
In the face of the hegemonic sanitary and medical model, it is necessary to provide more knowledge on the effectiveness of other possible forms of prevention, based on critical, socio-ecological, participatory models and approaches, which occur at the local scale, in the territories inhabited by the community. 
The methodology of the study comprised a quali-quantitative, randomized, controlled community trial with local community action. Two representative zones were selected from riverside sectors of Santa Fe, which share similar socioeconomic indices. In one area, participatory interventions were applied based on participatory action research, Citizen Science, and SEPA (Sociabilization of Evidence for Action) approaches. Simultaneously, and as a control, vertical and centralized prevention mechanisms were applied in the other zone.  In order to make comparisons of effectiveness, a characterization of the socio-environmental, sanitary, vector and reservoir conditions, and knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding these diseases was carried out in both zones, at pre- and post-intervention times.
In exploratory analyses of the data collected, significant rates of change were found between both zones post-intervention, and a significant effect of the participatory interventions for response variables of health importance in dengue. Sampling for leptospirosis remains to be done

Ecofeminisms have emerged in the heat of social movements and form a diverse current of thought that explores synergies between feminisms and ecologies, from which it is affirmed that in order to sustain life, it is necessary to recognize the interdependence of life. The environmental crises have highlighted violence against women, in close relation to the violence suffered by nature, where gender and environment are intertwined under multiple, linked and comparable oppressions. In this sense, it is necessary to put in tension the non-neutrality of the constructive elements that surround us by analyzing their productive matrices within the capitalist system. Giving meaning to the field of materials engineering implies recognizing that technology is not neutral, in order to contemplate the ways of co-producing the habitat. It becomes urgent to know the environmental impact that material production generates on ecosystems. During the last decades, the development of bio-based materials has been growing. In this line, reflections are proposed about the environmental crisis articulated with gender inequality, and with experiences of new bio-based materials in the face of the need for access to habitat, as opposed to the hegemonic market logics that consider the city and housing -and therefore the materials that compose it- as a product and not a right. Thus, material developments are turning towards technologies where the sustainability of life is central, through the use of biodegradable materials, respecting the natural cycles of regeneration

In the psychology of reasoning there is the emergence of a new paradigm that moves away from the previous project that attempted to understand human reasoning through its alignment with classical logic. The new paradigm has replaced logic with Bayesian probability theory, and phenomena such as argumentation, deduction and induction are modeled within a probabilistic social framework.
This new paradigm appears to be more conducive to interdisciplinary collaboration, as well as more in need of such an approach. The possible link with explanations of rationality in psychology, philosophy, neuroscience and artificial intelligence seems more fruitful than in the previous paradigm. The emphasis on probability theory is linked to the explosion of interest in Bayesian models of perception, motor control, language processing and knowledge representation in psychology. There are also strong connections with Bayesian brain theory. The emphasis on knowledge-rich reasoning embedded in social interactions links to inferential theories of communication. In addition, the focus on cognitive division of labor links to developments in social epistemology and explanations of the collective rationality of simple agents with finance theory, economics, and theories of cumulative cultural evolution.
In this framework, the present paper aims to review the current conditions of cooperation in the field of the psychology of reasoning, as well as its possibilities and limits for the future

Bioinputs constitute a new technological promise that opens the possibility of reconciling opposing interests within the agricultural field, which must be thought in the global context where multiple factors such as political, cultural, social, economic and legal influence. The following work had the objective of establishing a geopolitical view on the situation of bioinputs in Argentina and the link between world order, foreign policy and technological development.
This work was framed within science and technology studies from a critical communication theory perspective. We start from the following research question: Would technological autonomy in agricultural bioinputs allow the consolidation of national sovereignty? Is the development of bioinputs in the country a promise for the development of the country to move from being a peripheral country to a central country? 
It is intended to look at how the case of technological innovations of bioinputs play a central role in terms of scientific and technological development from a geopolitical point of view, having as an axis to articulate the concept of socio-technical imaginary. Based on a case study: bioinputs in Argentina, it was intended to analyze the discursive genres taking into account the discourse analysis proposed by Van Dijk (1996), analyzing the structures and functions of the text in its social, political and cultural context from the viewpoint of critical thinking

Within the framework of the “Jornadas Fundamentos y Aplicaciones de la Interdisciplina” (JFAI) and the roundtable "Nature, socio-territorial conflicts and socio-environmental issues" we will address the following questions: What disputes arise in the context of social struggles for the appropriation, management and use of nature? How does the deepening of the extractivist model affect the different social actors, such as native peoples, fumigated peoples, peasant movements, local/regional organizations and/or assemblies, among others?
To do so, I will take as a starting point the phrase "living in contact with nature" and I will focus on the emergence of socio-environmental conflicts around urban-real estate extractivism, since these narratives are deployed by the social actors involved. 
The key of analysis from which to read these conflicts is the field of American political ecology and with contributions from critical geography and sociology. For the understanding and analysis of socio-environmental conflicts I use the methodology proposed by Merlinsky (2013), for which I make a historical journey that begins in the mid-1990s, when the first controversies are recorded in the public spheres in the Partido de Tigre; from the systematization the emblematic cases with their dynamics and main milestones have been determined

The threat of abortion is an alert with vaginal bleeding in the first twenty weeks, accompanied by physical and emotional suffering. The common complication is mild to severe anemia. There are no preventive measures to avoid it, so prenatal control is important so that the pregnancy is viable. In order to know the role of nursing in the care of patients with threatened abortion, a qualitative study was carried out, with a single clinical case design based on the Nursing Care Process method, applying as an instrument the evaluation guide of Marjory Gordon to a 22-year-old patient. 10 nursing diagnoses were identified, prioritizing the diagnosis: (00221) Ineffective maternity process r/c with insufficient prenatal care and inadequate maternal nutrition m/p inadequate prenatal management, ineffective management of bothersome symptoms during pregnancy and prenatal lifestyle inappropriate. The interventions carried out were satisfactory, since the patient improved the maternity process. Given the problem of hemorrhage complication, the results are still indefinite due to the few hours of intervention and evaluation. It is concluded that the role of nursing is essential in the assessment of pregnant women with threatened abortion; Knowing its evolution allowed administering care to resolve the process of ineffective motherhood and prioritizing individualized nursing care in the prevention of hemorrhage in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. In addition, in order to improve the skills of the nursing professional, NANDA I, NOC, NIC, and collaboration problems were used

From the socioeconomic point of view, the Benito Salas Airport is vital for the economic and tourist development of the region. Airports are not just gateways for tourists, but also bases for corporate and government activities.
The Department of Huila is one of the main coffee-producing regions of Colombia, and the Benito Salas Airport has played an important role not only in the export of this coffee product, but also in the import of raw materials and agricultural machinery. In addition, the airport also served to connect the region with other major cities.
There is little interest on the part of the public entity to optimize the services and coverage that the airport presents, the purpose of the research is to draw a route that allows the airport leadership to project itself to the needs and characteristics demanded by the current market. From the readings that are projected, it is necessary to have an airport that allows progress and development plans

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative study between two prominent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms: the Perturb and Observe (P&O) method and the Incremental Conductance method (IC). The study delves into their operational principles, efficiency, robustness, implementation complexity, response time, and sensitivity to parameter changes. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations, the strengths and limitations of each algorithm are thoroughly assessed, offering valuable insights for optimizing photovoltaic (PV) systems. These simulations utilize established mathematical models of PV systems and MPPT algorithms. The findings reveal nuanced differences between the P&O and Incremental Conductance methods. Incremental Conductance demonstrates superior efficiency, particularly in environments with dynamic irradiance levels and partial shading conditions, owing to its ability to dynamically adjust the operating point. However, it exhibits increased implementation complexity compared to the simpler and more robust P&O method. In conclusion, this comparative study offers valuable insights into MPPT algorithm optimization for PV systems. While Incremental Conductance excels in efficiency and adaptability, P&O remains a viable option for applications with limited computational resources or stable environmental conditions due to its simplicity and robustness

Background: Ingestion of radionuclides via beer products may predispose consumers to radiological health hazards. This study aimed to determine the gross alpha and beta activity concentrations in beers and ground water samples in selected breweries in Nigeria and their potential radiological hazards.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with some selected beer and ground water samples collected from fourteen (14) different sampled brewery locations in Nigeria. Fifteen (15) ml/L of 1 mol/dm3 of concentrated Trioxonitrate (v) acid (HNO3) was added into each keg of ground water sample immediately after collection from each brewery sites to preserve the in situ radionuclides from being adsorbed on the keg wall. No sample preparation was required for beer samples. Further sample preparation and analysis were carried out at Radiation Protection Institute, Ghana Atomic Energy Commission, Accra, Ghana (Test number: N4 and N5). Method 900 of the US Environmental Protection Agency was applied and Canberra iMaticTM Automatic low background gas-filled counter was employed to determine the mean values of Gα and β RAC in both beer and ground water samples. 
Results: Mean values obtained for Gα and β RAC in beer and some ground water samples were apparently safe for consumption across all breweries sites in Nigeria in line with the recommended safe limits (0.1 Bq/L for Gα RAC and 1.0 Bq/L for Gβ RAC for water) by World Health Organization (WHO). Kaduna (Kakuri) and (Kudenda) sites both in Northern Nigeria recorded the highest mean GαRAC (0.0387Bq/L) and Gβ RAC (0.0892±0.123) respectively in beer samples.  Port Harcourt (Oginigba) site in southern Nigeria recorded the least mean Gα and β RAC (0.0009Bq/L and 0.0076Bq/L) in beer samples. Gα RAC in water samples from mostof the brewery sites were relatively high. Imo (Awo-omama) site recorded the highest Gα RAC (0.9330Bq/L) while Onitsha site recorded the highest value of Gβ RAC (0.694Bq/L). Port Harcourt (Oginigba) as usual maintained the least Gβ RAC (0.0064Bq/L). 
Conclusion: Gα and Gβ RAC from beer samples across all the breweries in Nigeria were within WHO recommendation. However, water samples across most of the brewery sites in Nigeria were higher than the WHO recommendation and therefore may potentially pose radiological health hazards (Stochastic effects) on consumers

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), widely known as attention deficit disorder, currently represents a critical issue in the fields of public health and mental health, affecting populations from childhood to adulthood. It is estimated that 3% of the adult population is affected by this disorder, and this has significant implications in the daily lives of affected individuals. 
Patients experiencing ADHD often face notable difficulties in areas such as maintaining attention, impulse regulation, and behavioral control. Characteristic symptoms include inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. ADHD is addressed therapeutically through a multidisciplinary approach that combines behavioral therapies and the use of medicinal agents, including both stimulant and non-stimulant drugs. These therapeutic resources help improve the ability to concentrate, impulse control, and, therefore, the quality of life of affected individuals. In recent years, Lisdexamfetamine has gained prominence as a first-line therapeutic alternative in the treatment of ADHD, standing out for its superior efficacy compared to predecessor agents such as methylphenidate (marketed under the name Ritalin), modafinil, guanfacine, and paroxetine. In addition to its application in the context of ADHD, lisdexamfetamine is being explored as an adjuvant intervention in the treatment of binge eating disorder. This disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive food intake in a short period, accompanied by a perception of a lack of control during such episodes. Binge eating can lead to physical and emotional distress and have a negative impact on the overall health and well-being of affected individuals. Lisdexamfetamine is proposed as a possible solution to alleviate the symptoms of binge eating disorder, with the potential to reduce the frequency of compulsive episodes and promote a greater perception of control over eating. Material and methods: A systematic review will be carried out that includes exploration in databases such as Pubmed and Google Scholar, using filters related to Attention Deficit Disorder, Binge Eating Disorder, and adverse effects. Results: 8 randomized trial articles were used, searched in the databases, and filtered based on the last two years, where the application and mechanism of LISDEXAMPHETAMINE (LDX) in the treatment of attention and compulsive eating disorders were evidenced. Conclusion: After the search carried out, it is understood that LISDEXAMPHETAMINE (LDX) in recent years has gained prominence as a first-line therapeutic alternative in the treatment of ADHD, standing out for its superior efficacy compared to predecessor agents. However, other specialized studies are also required to evaluate possible side effects, both therapeutic and adverse effects

Introduction: Dengue is a disease of viral etiology transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes, mainly by Aedes aegypti. It is an RNA virus that belongs to the Flavivirus family of which four serotypes are recognized: DENV 1, DENV 2, DENV3 and DENV 4 that present different antigenic properties. The difference between these serotypes lies in the amino acid sequence in the structural envelope protein. 
 
The prevalence of dengue virus infection varies depending on the region, environmental temperature, population development and economic conditions of the affected region, among other factors. The severity of dengue cases varies from mild symptoms such as headache, fever, general malaise, adynamia and retro-orbital pain, which characterize classic dengue (CD) as a self-limited infection, to severe cases that present the same general symptoms, but accompanied by bleeding and hemodynamic instability from the fourth day of infection that characterize dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF or DSS) 
 
Dengue virus infection is prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that there are approximately 100 million cases of CD and about half a million cases of DHF annually in the world. 
 
Primary infection with a DENV serotype induces serotype-specific or homotypic immunity and little heterotypic immunity. However, in secondary infections due to a different serotype compared to the primary infection, it could cause exacerbated reactions of the immune system, causing severe forms in the host (DHF or DSS). 
 
 Objectives: To evaluate the risk factors for the presentation of severe forms of dengue and prognostic biomarkers in the case of DH. 
 
 Material and methods: A systematic review of the publications located on the Pub Med platform, Google academic and SciELO of the last 10 years, on the topic of study. 
 
 Conclusion: The severity of dengue depends on multiple factors, including the presence of comorbidities, alterations in clinical and laboratory markers, as well as the host's immune response. Early identification of warning signs and appropriate clinical management of patients with dengue are essential to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Furthermore, new research is necessary to detect new specific biomarkers predictive of severe forms of dengue that allow correct management of these at-risk patients

Introduction: Isolation and depression in the context of pandemic was something that generated controversy. The fact that from one day to the next older adults could not see their loved ones because they could not leave their homes, or nursing homes, caused the quality of life to decrease. The problem is posed: What is the relationship between isolation and depression in older adults in Argentina in the period 2020 - 2022? Material and methods: The design of the study is a literature review for which a search and evaluation of the existing literature and previous research on depression, isolation and pandemic will be carried out through the databases PubMed, Google Academic, Scielo, etc. inclusion criteria were used; adults over 65 years of age in the context of pandemic between the years 2020 and 2022. Search in English and Spanish.  Results: An exhaustive bibliographic search was carried out through various academic storage sites such as PubMed, Google Academic, Cohrane library, among others. Analyzing in depth 18 articles.  Conclusion: The imposition of mandatory quarantine by COVID - 19 is associated with decline in mood and quality of life. Also with the decline in care in older adults in Argentina

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefits and risks associated with testosterone treatment for postmenopausal women. Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life marked by a decline in the production of female hormones like estrogen and progesterone. However, testosterone is also a hormone naturally produced by women, and it should be replenished when its production decreases. Although testosterone is not yet available for women due to lack of approval from the FDA (United States Food and Drug Administration), both research and clinical work have indicated its efficacy in addressing various symptoms of testosterone deficiency, including a diminished interest in sexual activity and weight gain. The objective of this article is to assess the benefits and risks of testosterone therapy in postmenopausal women by reviewing research and clinical studies that explore its use, as well as the associated side effects and risks. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted, involving searches in databases such as PubMed and Google Scholar, using filters related to the topic. Initially, 42 published works were identified. Additional criteria, such as "prospective cohort studies" and "randomized clinical trials," were then applied to refine the results. The search had no language restrictions or time limitations, yielding 9 potentially relevant articles for the review. Results: However, this analysis utilized eight articles of the clinical trial or randomized trial type, retrieved from PUBMED and Google Scholar databases, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of testosterone in women. Conclusions: Following the conducted search, it was concluded that testosterone proves to be an effective treatment for postmenopausal women experiencing decreased sexual activity. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged that further research is imperative to validate its effectiveness in treating premenopausal women, as well as ensuring its safety in long-term treatment

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a candidiasis of the vulva, which is caused by species of Candida spp., and affects women worldwide. Pregnant women are more susceptible to CVV due to certain risk factors. In addition, it predisposes to premature birth. Objectives: To analyze the risk factors for vaginal candidiasis in pregnancy and highlight the importance of treating vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy as a risk prevention strategy for premature rupture of the membrane and preterm labor. Material and methods: A bibliographic, descriptive and retrospective review was carried out of documents published by scientific societies that describe the current diagnostic approach and complications of candidal vulvovaginitis in pregnancy, as well as research works and scientific articles that describe prevention and treatment of vulvovaginitis. For the bibliographic search, works published in the last 5 years will be included and several documentary sources will be reviewed considering key words such as: Candida albicans, pregnancy, vulvovaginal candidiasis and vaginitis, to identify relevant and pertinent scientific articles in English and Spanish pages. , in different databases such as: PubMed, Elsevier, NCBI, Google Scholar, medical bibliography and clinical practice guidelines will also be attached. Results: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common infection caused by yeasts of the genus Candida that affects pregnant women more frequently than at any other time in their lives. The prevalence of infection varies between countries, with rates ranging between 10% and 50% in Latin America. CVV during pregnancy can lead to complications such as premature birth, low birth weight, neonatal infection, and an increased risk of urinary tract infections. Treatment options for VVC during pregnancy include clotrimazole and miconazole vaginal creams or suppositories, while fluconazole is not recommended during the first trimester due to the risk of congenital malformations. Conclusion: treatment of vaginal candidiasis during pregnancy is important to prevent complications and ensure the health of the mother and fetus

Introduction: This research delves into the complex interaction between severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and thyroid disorders. With the growing body of evidence suggesting a connection between COVID-19 infection and the onset of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS), this study aims to unravel the underlying mechanisms, identify risk factors, and explore the geographic prevalence of these conditions. The research addresses the critical need to understand the long-term implications of SARS-CoV-2 infection on thyroid health and its relationship with the phenomenon known as "long COVID". Summary: The study focuses on autoimmune manifestations, particularly AITDs, examining the relationship between COVID-19 and thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Subacute granulomatous thyroiditis (TGSA) induced by the virus and the persistence of thyroid symptoms beyond the acute phase of infection are explored. The importance of factors such as glandular trophism, pathophysiology, and the presence of symptoms in "long COVID" is emphasized. Materials and Methods: The research methodology is based on a comprehensive review of scientific literature, spanning studies from 2021 to 2023. Recognized databases such as NIH, PubMed, Cochrane, and Elsevier were utilized, prioritizing  systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and relevant case reports. The search focused on risk factors, thyroid manifestations in COVID-19 patients.  Results: The findings address the correlation between thyroid dysfunction and the severity of COVID-19, the impact of fT3 hormone as a predictor, and the relationship between thyroid disorders and "long COVID" syndrome. Results from various researchers are presented, including diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and potential interventions. Conclusion: The thesis concludes that SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger thyroid disorders, especially AITDs and NTIS, highlighting immune dysregulation as a central factor. Diagnostic strategies are proposed, modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors are discussed, and the importance of addressing persistent symptoms in "long COVID" is emphasized. The research significantly contributes to the understanding of this complex interaction, providing crucial insights for future investigations and clinical practice

Background: COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can cause the development of various pathologies, some of which affect the endocrine system. This article provides a narrative review of the association between COVID-19 and thyroid conditions, describing the epidemiology, pathophysiological aspects, clinical and laboratory manifestations, treatment and prognosis. Material and methods: The methodology of this work is based on the compilation of information from previous studies, scientific articles and postgraduate studies published in the database: Scielo, PubMed, Intramed, WHO, Ministry of Health of Argentina). Results: COVID-19 infection can affect thyroid function and cause thyroid-related symptoms such as neck pain, malaise, and thyroid dysfunction. Some studies have documented cases of subacute thyroiditis associated with COVID-19. The thyroid gland may be vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and thyroid hormones may influence the immune response against COVID-19. Conclusion: COVID-19 can activate the immune system and cause hyperactivity, sometimes leading to the new onset of autoimmune disorders. The severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection may be affected by the state of the thyroid gland before and during infection, but the dependencies are not fully understood. There is no evidence to suggest that hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid diseases have a direct impact on the severity of COVID-19. However, reduced serum free triiodothyronine levels can be used as an indicator of mortality in SARS- CoV-2-positive patients. Further evaluation is required to determine the relationship between subacute thyroiditis and COVID-19

Background: Immunotherapy represents one of the most significant advances in the field of medicine in recent decades. It is a treatment modality that uses the body's own immune system to fight diseases, primarily cancer, but also a variety of autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases. This revolutionary approach has fundamentally changed our understanding and management of various medical conditions, opening a new horizon of therapeutic possibilities. Material and methods: The methodology of this work was based on the compilation of information from previous studies, scientific articles and postgraduate studies published in the database: Scielo, PubMed, Intramed, WHO, Ministry of Health of Argentina). Results: Non-pharmacological treatments for urinary tract infections include cranberry, flax seed, bearberry, buchu, sage, rice vinegar, garlic, onion, rosemary and horseradish. A vegetarian diet with high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, and carotenoids can also help prevent urinary tract infections. The consumption of caffeine and coffee can increase and progress urinary urgency symptoms in men, but the intake of grapefruit and orange juice can reduce the symptoms. Coffee consumption in women had no such effect, but an increase in sodium intake or increased consumption of caffeinated soft drinks may cause UTI symptoms. More studies are needed to establish recommendations on the consumption of coffee, caffeinated beverages, and orange and grapefruit juices. Conclusion: Immunological treatments for urinary tract infections include staying hydrated, consuming vitamin C, cranberries, garlic and onion, taking sitz baths, and using supplements such as D-Mannose and hawthorn berry leaves. These remedies can help relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence, but should not replace conventional medical treatment such as antibiotics. It is important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment

Exanthems do not represent a disease per se, but they are the most clinically useful manifestation for the arrival of the diagnosis of the disease for the physician, as well as the most common cause that brings patients to the consultation. 
Regarding new pediatric exanthems, it is important to consider the age of onset since they tend to manifest after the first year of the individual's life, while up to 12 months, their epidemiology is usually limited to the well-known classics such as measles, sudden rash, rubella, chickenpox, Kawasaki disease, Coxsackie virus, meningococcemia, echovirus, among others. (1) Classic exanthematous diseases have been known for a long time and have been classified in sequential order. The first and second refer to scarlet fever and measles. Rubella is the third. The exanthem caused by staphylococcal epidermolytic toxin is the fourth. Erythema infectiosum is the fifth, and sudden rash is the sixth disease. In recent decades, new tools and methodologies based on four forms of investigation through clinical studies, laboratory studies, epidemiological studies, and clinical trials including the validation of new and more specific diagnostic criteria, such as procedures for the detection of viral genetic sequences such as PCR, viral load, and antibody affinities, as well as exhaustive epidemiological analyses in patient groups of different ages, nationalities, and skin types, have led to the diagnosis of new exanthematous diseases known as pityriasis rosea (PR), Gianotti-Crosti syndrome (GCS), asymmetric periflexural exanthem/unilateral laterothoracic exanthem (APE/ULE), gloves and socks syndrome 
(PPGSS), eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EP), and eruptive hypomelanosis (EH). (2) 
 
Background:(Complete here). Material and methods: (Different case repot were analyzed in relation to the available literature in virtual libraries such as PubMed and cited by the Argentine Society of pediatrics). Results: (The systematic review of new rashes manifested mostly in the pediatric population increasingly suggest their viral etiology as well as their low risk of serious systemic complications. Determining their characteristics, chronology and topography as well as the physician´s experience shead diagnostic light on daily clinical practice). Conclusion: (The epidemiological and histopathological analysis of the lesion and clinical methods of diagnosing these rashes has been intense over the past 30 years, although their observation remains key to the increasingly accurate determination of their etiology, which is still subject to refinement and discussion

Background: The term "nontuberculous mycobacteria" refers to more than 170 different species of bacteria that are not Mycobacterium tuberculosis or M. leprae. These bacteria can cause a variety of infections in children. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as they can be confused with other diseases. Treatment can be challenging due to antibiotic resistance in some strains. The literature review focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of these infections in the pediatric population. The characterization of these bacteria, through methods such as PCR, is essential for effective treatment. Material and methods: A systematic review was performed to determine the need to categorize nontuberculous mycobacteria in pediatrics. Various databases and Boolean operators were used to search for relevant information. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to select documents. The review covered the period from 2012 to 2023. They focused on pediatric studies on nontuberculous mycobacteria. Results: The article "Idiopathic CD4+ lymphocytopenia and juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis" describes a case of juvenile laryngeal papillomatosis (JLP) that was complicated by idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia (ICL). Despite treatments and surgeries, JLP progressed. The patient developed ICL based on the decrease in CD4+ lymphocytes without HIV. After receiving interferon-alpha with partial response, he died. The study "Prevalence and species spectrum of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary nontuberculous mycobacteria isolates" highlights the high prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria in India, especially M. abscessus. "Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Denmark" evaluates the incidence and clinical relevance of NTM in Denmark from 1991 to 2015, finding a stable incidence and differences in age groups and species. These studies enrich the understanding of these medical conditions. Conclusion: The four studies analyzed offer a global vision of the incidence and characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in various regions. Although they all address NTM, they reveal geographic variability in their incidence and characteristics. A global increase in the incidence of NTM is observed, raising concerns about its clinical relevance. Furthermore, the study in New York highlights the increase in NTM in densely populated urban environments. Botswana underlines the importance of accurate diagnosis, especially in areas with high prevalence of tuberculosis and HIV. In Denmark, no significant increase in the incidence of NTM is observed, suggesting regional variability. Together, these findings emphasize the need to understand the local epidemiology of NTM and the importance of its prevention and control

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic dermatosis, characterized by erythematous and scaly plaques, affecting 2 -3% of people worldwide. And on the other hand we have mycosis fungoides, the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, which presents manifestations that vary from erythematous macules to tumors. 
These two pathologies are independent, however, their clinical and pathological similarity has generated erroneous diagnoses. However, literature has marked a possible connection between the two. The relationship between psoriasis and mycosis fungoides, as well as the appearance of mycosis fungoides after systemic treatment for psoriasis, has generated a great enigma and really requires exhaustive study. Material and methods: A systematic review of publications of studies on the incidence of mycosis fungoides in chronic psoriasis vulgaris patients is carried out, and a meta-analysis will be carried out that incorporates all the published information available using the online databases pubmed, google scholar, trip medical database, Embase, prospero International prospective register of systematic reviews 
 Results: The systematic review concluded that 47 cases met the inclusion criteria, that is, patients with a history of long-standing psoriasis vulgaris, of which 38 patients received biological therapy and 32 patients developed mycosis fungoides. 
Conclusion:  The association between mycosis fungoides and long-standing psoriasis vulgaris is a complex issue, mainly due to its difficulty in clinically differentiating both diseases, which often generates an erroneous diagnosis. Likewise, there have been cases of coexistence of both pathologies and the appearance of mycosis fungoides secondary to long-standing treatments for psoriasis vulgaris. A clear association between psoriasis and mycosis fungoides has not yet been established. However, it is possible that this connection is favored by the immunopathology of psoriasis due to the constant activation of the immune system and the presence of Th17 cells, predisposing to the development of mycosis fungoides. However, there are few studies on these topics specifically. It is imperative that more studies be conducted to understand the mechanisms involved, develop and establish more specific management guidelines against therapies for patients with pre-existing risk factors. Some studies have suggested an association between the use of biologic therapies for psoriasis and an increased risk of developing or exacerbating mycosis fungoides in certain patients. However, the evidence is still inconclusive and more research is needed to fully understand this relationship. Concern about the impact of immunological therapies in long-standing psoriasis vulgaris highlights the need for constant monitoring and long-term investigations to better understand the long-term effects of these treatments. The actual incidence and prevalence of the relationship between long-standing psoriasis vulgaris and mycosis fungoides cannot be determined with certainty

Introduction. Over the years, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome has increased dramatically in developing countries as a major by-product of industrialization. Many factors, such as the consumption of hypercaloric diets and sedentary lifestyles, favor the spread of this disorder. Undoubtedly, the massive and still growing incidence of metabolic syndrome makes this epidemic a major public health problem. Metabolic syndrome is also a neurological and psychiatric risk factor. In this paper, an exploratory literature review on the subject will be performed. 
In this paper, we survey the information as to what is known about the metabolic syndrome beyond its classical association with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, since the metabolic syndrome also represents a risk factor for nervous tissue and threatens neuronal function. First, we present some essential concepts of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. Second, we explore some neuroprotective approaches in metabolic syndrome related to cerebral hypoxia. 
Objectives. To update, review in an exploratory manner, and synthesize the literature concerning the neurological impact of metabolic syndrome, beyond its classical association with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Define and review essential concepts of the pathophysiology of metabolic syndrome. To explore neuropreventive and neuroprotective strategies in metabolic syndrome related to therapeutic cerebral hypoxia. 
Material and methods. An exploratory survey of scientific literature from January 1989-November 2022 was carried out. Selection/inclusion criteria: scientific publications containing exploratory data and information on metabolic syndrome and neurological comorbidity and possible neurotherapeutic approaches. 
Pathophysiology. The metabolic pathways characteristically impaired in metabolic syndrome lead to hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, inflammation and hypoxia, all closely related to a generalized prooxidative state. Oxidative stress is well known to cause destruction of cellular structures and tissue architecture. Altered redox homeostasis and oxidative stress alter the macromolecular matrix of nuclear genetic material, lipids and proteins, which in turn disrupts biochemical pathways necessary for normal cellular function. 
Neuroprotection. Different neuroprotective strategies involving lifestyle changes, medications aimed at mitigating the cardinal symptoms of metabolic syndrome, and treatments aimed at reducing oxidative stress are discussed. It is well known that routine physical exercise, particularly aerobic activity, and a complete and balanced diet are key factors in preventing metabolic syndrome. However, pharmacological control of the metabolic syndrome as a whole and related hypertension, dyslipidemia and endothelial injury contribute to the improvement of neuronal health. 
Conclusion. The development of metabolic syndrome presents as a risk factor for the development and/or exacerbation of neurological alterations. Therapeutic strategies include multidisciplinary approaches aimed at addressing, in a concerted manner, different pathways involved in its pathophysiology

Introduction: Mesenteric polycystic lymphangiomas are rare cystic tumors, with a 5% incidence compared to their incidence in the neck and axillae (95%), seen more frequently in pediatric patients, rare in patients over 20 years of age.
Clinical case: A 3-year-old male patient presents with a clinical picture of one day of evolution, reporting abdominal pain of moderate intensity, temperature rises and vomiting. Physical findings show abdominal distension, with ultrasound showing a polycystic lesion, and contrast-enhanced tomography corroborating a lobulated multi-separated cystic formation. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a polycystic tumor at the level of the ileum mesentery. The anatomopathological study describes a polycystic mesenteric lesion. Exeresis is performed and the postoperative evolution is satisfactory.
Conclusions: Polycystic mesenteric lymphangiomatosis is a rare tumor that mainly affects the mesentery of the small intestine and/or colon. In pediatric age, this condition should be considered as a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen. Conventional or laparoscopic surgery is the cornerstone of treatment

Introduction: Lung reexpansion is a rare complication, generally less than 1%, that can occur after rapid drainage of a pneumothorax or pleural effusion. Its mortality can reach 20%.
Clinical case: A 22-year-old female patient reported experiencing dizziness, weakness, vomiting containing food, presence of blood clots and bloody-looking stools, which is why she was taken to the hospital to the emergency department, and underwent surgery for upper digestive bleeding. In its evolution, it presents a picture of acute unilateral lung injury secondary to lung reexpansion when draining a pleural effusion. Medical and ventilatory treatment is imposed and the patient evolves favorably.
Conclusions: Lung injury due to lung re-expansion is a rare entity; clinical suspicion is essential to act diligently and thus avoid complications. Good ventilatory management of Respiratory Distress Syndrome is essential, emphasizing protective mechanical ventilation and the appropriate use of PEEP

Introduction: During the coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19), people were subjected to a preventive and compulsory social isolation measure (ASPO) generating a negative impact on the physical, psychological and social state of the people. 
people. 
Objective: To describe the symptoms related to depression, anxiety and stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic perceived by adult patients of the Sanatorio Nuestra Señora de Rosario (IPAM) in Rosario during the ASPO period (March to November 2020). 
Materials and methods: Quantitative, descriptive observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study, carried out at the Sanatorio Nuestra Señora de Rosario, located at Sarmiento 3125, in the city of Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. The data collection instrument was a structured survey, applied online through google forms, self-administered, voluntary and anonymous. The variables analyzed were age, sex, COVID-19 diagnosis and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Absolute and relative frequencies were calculated. Similarly, in order to establish the relationship between age and sex and according to whether or not they had suffered Covid-19 with anxiety, depression and stress, inferential statistics were applied with the Chi-square test. Results: A total of 68 patients were surveyed, of whom 40 (59%) were female, 27 (40%) were male and 1 reported being of another sex. The mean age was 41.53 ± 14.1 years (min. 18; max. 73), the age group between 18 and 30 years constituted 44% of the population studied. Of these, 35 (51%) patients were not diagnosed with COVID-19 during the pandemic isolation period and 33 (49%) did have COVID-19. Fifty-four percent of patients had mild anxiety, 31% had moderate anxiety, and 15% had severe anxiety. Thirty-seven percent of patients had mild depression, 22% had minimal depression, 16% had moderate depression, 12% had moderately severe depression, 7% had severe depression, and 6% had no depression. Finally, 62% had low stress, 34% moderate stress and 4% high stress. No significant association was found between variables.  
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic caused some degree of anxiety and stress in all respondents and a similar incidence of depression, both in the population diagnosed with this disease and in those who did not suffer from it, being mainly affected women and the young population under 40 years of age

Background: The Chagas-Mazza disease is an infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi and is considered one of the main public health problems in America. Because a large number of wild animals are T. cruzi reservoir, the lack of health policies for prevention and the lack of a vaccine, the infection cannot be eradicated. There are currently no vaccines against this Chagas disease, its development and application would be essential for the control of infection. Material and methods: A systematic review of study publications is carried out and metanalysis is carried out that integrates all available public information on the subject of study. 
 Results:  Over the years, a wide variety of vaccine platforms against Chagas-Mazza's disease have been investigated. The protection against the disease could be achieved by an mTS formulation plus a protein adjuvant. A recombinant protein derived from TS (TSr) together with the adjuvant CpG (TLR-9 agonist) was administered both intramuscular and intranasal with very good results. The glycosylated mutant trans-sialidase (TSm) formulation together with the adjuvant iscomatrix is highly effective, it reduces parasitemia by 50%. The nasal administration of Transpaine plus c-di-AMP is a highly immunogenic formulation that contributes to the control of the parasites, presenting less clinical evidence of infection and limited side effects. 
 Conclusion: several research carried out so far and the progress made by immunization with vaccines using attenuated or inactivated live antigens or parasites or recombinant proteins in experimental models with promising results for the development of a vaccine in humans

Background: In the field of contemporary medicine, receiving a transplanted organ can be the last hope for many patients suffering from advanced-stage diseases. Despite its benefits, there still persist numerous obstacles that complicate the organ donation process. Presented here are the main findings of a survey that explores the opinions of healthcare personnel and ordinary citizens regarding organ donation. Material and methods: A prospective, open-label, observational, descriptive study was conducted using a non-validated survey adapted from Grupo Ángeles Servicios de Salud. A total of 65 surveys were administered at the Graphic Clinic of Buenos Aires City, and 65 surveys were given to citizens of Buenos Aires City. Results: The gathered information was categorized into four content-based categories: I. Knowledge of the issue; II. Attitudes towards the donation process; III. Personal actions taken; IV. Expectations regarding the organ transplant process. The results are presented in table format, and no statistically significant differences were observed among them. Conclusion: It is not feasible to reach a categorical conclusion regarding whether health personnel show a greater willingness to donate organs compared to citizens in general. This is due, in part, to the equivalence of the results and the size of the sample, obtaining a result that may not be representative of the entire population. It is possible that increasing the number of people who register as organ donors will increase the number of transplants

Background: The appropriate use of antibiotics in outpatient pediatrics is essential and should be based on a thorough evaluation, taking into account the prevalence of diseases and the variability of pathogens, based on solid 
clinical evidence and adapted to individual needs, achieving therapeutic efficacy. optimal while minimizing the risk of developing microbial resistance. Therefore, it is essential to follow evidence-based prescription guidelines, correct dosage, and duration of treatme. Objectives: Systematic review of the appropriate use of antibiotics in pediatrics in the context of the most common outpatient infectious diseases and Point out the importance of following current clinical guidelines for each of the nosological entities, determining appropriate use of ATB. Material and methods: They used various sources of information, including publications from the Argentine Society of Pediatrics, databases of academic articles in SCIELO and PUBMED, using key terms obtained from the search in the Medical Subject Headings (MESH). Results: It has been identified by the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has indicated that around 50% of antimicrobial prescriptions are inappropriate, both in hospital and outpatient settings. A study supported by the World Health Organization (WHO) examined bacterial resistance data 
in 114 countries, revealing the presence of seven bacteria resistant to broad-spectrum antimicrobials. Conclusion:
The careful analysis of each clinical situation becomes a fundamental component of therapeutic decision making. 
So that misuse of antimicrobials does not occur, it is important to focus on the prescription of ATB, taking into 
account the recommendations in guides proposed by infectious disease committees, which have an approach based on the time of evolution of the pathologies according to the etiology associated with them. signs and symptoms that increase the possibility of being a bacteria justifying the prescription of the microorganism.

Background: Obesity as a global health problem has increased significantly. It is a chronic disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Since conventional treatments are not enough, bariatric surgery has had a considerable efficacy in relation to weight loss and reduction in the prevalence of comorbidities associated with it, however, the micronutrient deficits already existing in obesity may be altered even after the surgical intervention.  The aim of this study will be to describe the behavior of micronutrient deficits in adults undergoing laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy.). Material and methods: An observational, retrospective, analytical and longitudinal design with a cross-sectional component, of an adult population between 21 and 70 years of age, both biological sexes, with a diagnosis of morbid obesity (BMI) greater than or equal to 40 kg/m) submitted to a GVM, followed up for a minimum of 12 months post-surgery. The data of interest were weight loss, the presence of anemia, and deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, preoperatively and at 3.6 and 12 months post- surgery, as well as the trajectory of these parameters over time according to sex. 
Results: 268 patients were included, 54% (n= 145) were men, the mean age at the time of surgery was 43.4 years. Most had a history of obesity from one of their parents and developed obesity in childhood or adolescence. The percentage of patients with a percentage of excess weight lost (PEPP) greater than or equal to 50% was 86.9% at 12 months. The prevalence of anemia was higher at 12 postoperative months and the deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12 and vitamin D predominated at the preoperative moment, steadily reducing from 3 to 12 postoperative months. No differences were observed between sexes. 
Conclusion: Bariatric surgery continues to be an effective technique of choice for sustained and rapid weight loss compared to conventional treatments for morbid obesity. It is necessary to monitor the status of micronutrients in the long term, encourage and motivate the use of supplementation together with a long-term individualized interdisciplinary follow-up, as nodal requirements for the improvement and/or resolution of deficits

Business travel is expected to increase, while "bleisure" travel has taken off, according to the Global Rescue Spring 2023 Travelers Sentiment and Safety Survey. Seventy percent of business travelers polled expect their work-related travel to match or exceed pre-pandemic levels by 2023. Most study respondents (65%) plan to incorporate bleisure travel, which involves adding extra days to their work trip for personal or leisure activities. More than half of responding business travelers (55%) expect to travel both domestically and internationally for work, up from almost three-quarters (72%) a year earlier who had not been overseas for business or had no intentions to do so. The mindset of business travelers has evolved, as have employer views. Face-to-face meetings are more effective in building and maintaining connections than virtual ones. It's no surprise that local and international business travel is increasing alongside recreational travel. The most difficult management task in this changing environment will be determining how duty of care should be used to safeguard a location-independent workforce. They must question themselves whether a set of laws or policies meant to safeguard their health, safety, and well-being while working in the place. In this paper we will explore what exactly the term ‘BLeisure’ mean and why is it trending nowadays

Background: A significant percentage of patients who have undergone rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery have experienced retinal displacement as a complication, regardless of the surgery's success, meaning its recurrence. The main symptom is metamorphopsia or aniseikonia. Material and methods: Medical articles related to this complication have been used and collected from 2010 to the present, utilizing scientific search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and other ophthalmology websites (such as the British Ophthalmology Academy and JAMA Ophthalmology).Results: : As a result of the different articles, a total of 1,258 eyes were analyzed, and retinal displacement was found in various surgical contexts: Pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with gas: Retinal displacement was observed in 62.8% of cases.PPV versus pneumatic retinopexy (NR): Retinal displacement was found in 44.4% of cases with PPV and 7.0% with NR.Gas tamponade versus silicone oil tamponade: Retinal displacement was present in 44% of patients with gas tamponade and 22% with silicone oil tamponade.PPV versus scleral buckle: Retinal displacement occurred in 58.8% of eyes with PPV and 0% with a scleral buckle.Conclusion: The displacement of the retina generates visual symptoms that often impact the final outcome of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) surgery, despite surgical success. This recently described condition poses a new challenge for retina surgeons when determining the surgical strategy to be applied. There is variability in outcomes depending on the technique used, and it also appears to be related to the type of tamponade and the amount of subretinal fluid at the time of its use

Background: Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that can lead to QT interval prolongation, which may trigger ventricular tachycardia, also known as torsades de pointes (TdP), the most common cardiac arrhythmia associated with these drugs. All macrolides are linked to QTc interval prolongation, with apparently higher risk with erythromycin and clarithromycin compared to azithromycin. Macrolides can extend QT and QTc intervals and cause cardiac arrhythmias, including TdP, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation, through their affinity for binding to the delayed rectifier potassium channel, IKr, inducing QT prolongation and risk of TdP. However, it is crucial to assess the risk-benefit ratio of prescribing azithromycin, especially in patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease or taking concomitant medications that prolong the QT interval. Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine whether azithromycin is genuinely associated with the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias in adult patients. Materials and Methods: This systematic review is based on meticulous searching across Medline and Google Scholar databases, analysis of publications, and synthesis of available evidence regarding the risk of arrhythmias with the use of azithromycin. Results: We reviewed 6 articles that met the criteria, including 20.510.653 patients and 66 articles. While some studies suggest an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias in certain subgroups of patients, others have not found a significant association between azithromycin and these arrhythmias. These discrepancies could be attributed to differences in the definition of arrhythmias, the duration of follow-up, or the characteristics of the groups of patients evaluated. The results point toward the need for a more thorough risk assessment before initiating this antibiotic in adult patients, especially those with known cardiovascular risk factors or those with a history of heart disease. Several risk factors, such as hypokalemia, pre-existing heart conditions, and concomitant use of other QT-prolonging medications, have been identified as increasing vulnerability to macrolide-induced arrhythmias. Conclusion: The results of the systematic review and cohort studies analyzed consistently suggest an association between the use of azithromycin and an increased risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias. This risk appears to be most evident in the elderly, with different studies showing variations in the magnitude of the risk. It is crucial to evaluate the risks and benefits of these antibiotics in each clinical situation, considering the information provided by observational studies and systematic reviews

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a pathology with a prevalence in men over 65 years of age of more than 8% worldwide. It has a high mortality and morbidity rate, representing between 1 and 2% of deaths. When surgical repair is indicated there are two options, endovascular repair and open abdominal surgery. Endovascular repair in elective patients seems to be the best option as it is a less invasive method, although so far there is no conclusive evidence on the advantages in certain subgroups. On the other hand, open surgery, taking into account the anatomy, age and context of the patient, could be more beneficial in certain groups. In conclusion, the choice of the therapeutic method in an elective situation will depend on the individual context of each patient, considering the possible complications and reinterventions that may affect the quality of life and put the patient's life at risk. 
 
Material and methods: An in-depth literature search will be performed in the PubMed database, using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and filters in the last ten years where randomized clinical trial studies, case-control studies and systematic reviews will be evaluated. Always using the following search terms: "abdominal aortic aneurysm", "endovascular repair" and "open abdominal surgery". 
 
Results: Six studies were selected after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The articles compared and analyzed the use of endovascular repair (EVAR) and open surgical repair (OSR). Both methods were evaluated and compared using the variables of short- and long-term complications and the rate of reinterventions. It was found that patients who received EVAR had a higher rate of total complications with a high predominance after 4 years post intervention. As for reinterventions, there was a significantly higher rate in those who received EVAR with respect to those who underwent OSR. 
 
Conclusion: Endovascular repair showed a higher rate of reinterventions than open surgery. As well as a greater number of long-term complications. These are results that should be taken into account when evaluating it as a therapeutic option, especially in certain groups of patients. Thus, open surgery appears to be a safer treatment. Especially in the long term and in groups of young patients without comorbidities

Background: Translational studies and translational research refer to a process that aims to take discoveries from basic sciences to develop effective actions for the benefit of the population. These studies have different stages and in this systematic review I will focus on the valley of death or translational gap ("translational bridge") of vaccine prospects lost in this statistical space, having as a timeframe the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic, until the approval of the first vaccine. Material and methods: I will use the clinicaltrials.gov search engine to track studies from phase 1, considering that the common starting point for all studies is the discovery of a new coronavirus until phase 4. Results: Phase I the average of the JADAD Scale obtained is 3.6, Phase II 3.1 on average and Phase III 3.3. Conclusion: In these studies, other scales are used to measure methodological quality, since their inability to significantly predict the progression of vaccine leaflet studies suggests that other factors may be influencing decision making to advance to subsequent clinical phases

Background: Covid-19 in March 2020 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The quarantine regime imposed at the time, in addition to being something new for our generation, was challenging for most people. The stress triggered by the uncertainty of what would happen from that moment on was the factor in the development of many dermatological diseases associated with it. Stress alters the structural and chemical composition of the body, making it a target for all diseases, whether through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, various neurotransmitters, cytokines, hormones, and that can cause a negative impact on the homeostasis of the barrier. skin, innate immunity and adaptive immunity, the main dermatological manifestations observed during covid 19 will develop due to the action of stress. Material and methods: A systematic review of publications is carried out regarding the dermatological manifestations caused by stress triggered by covid 19, where publications in this regard have been searched on platforms. Results: This systematic review analyzed the results of 06 articles searched in the study where it found that the COVID-19 pandemic has generated a significant increase in the incidence of skin diseases that are associated with levels of stress and anxiety such as urticaria, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia and vitiligo that were derived from the pandemic.  either due to the appearance of new lesions and/or exacerbation of pre-existing lesions. 
Conclusion: The stress caused by the confinement of the pandemic triggered and/or aggravated several dermatological manifestations related to stress such as urticaria, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia and vitiligo. It is important to use preventive measures and psychotherapy to reduce stress in people with those stress-sensitive dermatological conditions

Introduction: In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic swiftly escalated into a significant global health emergency. To curb the virus spread, many countries implemented emergency measures such as strict school closures. The pandemic has dramatically impacted the daily lives of children and adolescents, leading to sedentary lifestyles, increased use of electronic devices, and heightened stress-related symptoms. These substantial changes interfere with normal child development. Since the onset of the pandemic, numerous studies have reported an increased incidence of early puberty compared to prepandemic years, with puberty itself progressing at a faster pace. In this review, the aim was to estimate the incidence of new cases of precocious puberty and early puberty during the Covid-19 pandemic. Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess the incidence of early puberty and the progression of puberty during and after the pandemic to compare the results with data from the same period over the last five years and consider potential links between births and data trends. Materials and Methods: This review utilized various databases for article compilation using MESH terminology and identified 09 potential outcomes related to precocious puberty associated with COVID-19

Introduction: Dengue is a viral disease transmitted by a vector, which has 4 different serotypes. This infection by any viral strain can be asymptomatic or cause variable and unique clinical manifestations ranging from a mild febrile syndrome to severe dengue. Because there is no treatment that acts effectively and the vector control measures are not as successful as expected to prevent or impede the proliferation of the virus, the formulation of a vaccine becomes an effective measure to stop the development of the disease. 
Material and methods: The present systematic review has used search engines such as Pubmed and Google academic to search for articles of the clinical and randomized trial type, finding articles regarding dengue and vaccination. Results: (A total of 15 RCTs have been used for a fundamentalistic analysis of the predefined variables to understand dengue and vaccination.). Conclusion: Dengue is the most widespread disease transmitted by mosquito bites in the world. This high prevalence shows the importance of vaccines in controlling the disease. Furthermore, it is worth highlighting the attention necessary for a diagnostic test due to crossimmunization. Thus we conclude that the greater the knowledge about the vaccines made and those that are in the development phase, taking into consideration a good diagnosis is of utmost importance for the control of the disease and its consequences

Introduction: Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a disease caused by Candida species, mainly Candida albicans species, which can be colonizing the vaginal microbiota of healthy women, without causing disease. Due to its high prevalence, it is one of the most frequent causes of gynecological consultation. It occurs mainly in women after puberty, worldwide it is estimated that at least 75% of women have had candidiasis at least once in their lives. Its clinical signs are itching, vaginal inflammation and white discharge. It is diagnosed by laboratory tests or culture. A higher frequency of candidiasis occurs in women with high estrogen load or some degree of immunodeficiency. Treatment consists of azole antifungals, particularly fluconazole. The present study consists of a systematic review of the existing literature related to vulvovaginal candidiasis, focusing on epidemiology, clinical signs, diagnosis and treatment. Material and methods: The study design is a literature review for which a search and evaluation of the existing literature and previous research on vaginal candidiasis will be carried out through the databases PubMed, Google Academic, Scielo, Sciendirect, among others. For this purpose, inclusion criteria will be used through searches related to "Candida", "vaginal candidiasis", "recurrent vaginal candidiasis", "vaginal candidiasis predisposing factors" and "candidiasis literature review". Results: Vaginal candidiasis is an infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida albicans, a type of yeast-like fungus that normally lives in the vagina. Predisposing factors include antibiotic use, increased estrogen levels, uncontrolled diabetes, overweight, pregnancy, premenstrual period, taking corticosteroids, and high doses of estrogen. Treatment of vaginal candidiasis includes antifungal medications, such as single-dose oral fluconazole, and avoidance of excess moisture. In uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis, all available forms of antifungals are highly effective, both oral and topical, whereas in complicated vulvovaginal candidiasis, a longer course of 5-7 to 10-14 days of conventional therapy should be performed. Patients who have frequent recurrences require their long-term pressure with oral medications. Conclusion: It is important for health care professionals and patients to be aware of the risks of recurrence so that timely treatment can be provided to patients

Introduction: Perinatal asphyxia (PA) is one of the most prevalent injuries that occur around birth, especially in less socioeconomically developed countries. The developing brain is known to be particularly vulnerable to maternal stress and environmental insults before, during and after birth. In this sense, PA is considered a risk factor for numerous neurodevelopmental disorders. Objective: The objective of the present investigation was to analyze PA as a risk factor for schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: A search for scientific articles was carried out in the PubMed and Scielo databases, following the use of prespecified criteria, such as studies carried out on human subjects and animals, in English or Spanish, with availability of access to the text. complete and that they had been published no older than 10 years. Results: AP is associated with increased mortality rates due to the redistribution of cardiac output to the brain, heart and adrenal glands. Genes linked to a greater risk of schizophrenia have been identified, which modify their expression in a scenario of hypoxia induced by cesarean section in the brains of rodents. Likewise, hypoxia reduces brain weight and various processes such as myelination and neurogenesis Conclusions: Obstetric complications related to hypoxia increase the risk of developing schizophrenia five times in adult life

Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease and levodopa is the main drug used in the treatment of this disease. A study conducted in Denmark demonstrated a two-fold higher incidence of malignant melanoma in patients with Parkinson's, but no correlation was found between levodopa treatment and this incidence. Material and methods: The present systematic review used search engines such as pubmed and Google academic to search for articles of the clinical and randomized trial type. Results: The results of the systematic review indicate a complexity in the relationship between levodopa administration, Parkinson's disease, and melanoma risk. The evidence reviewed suggests that levodopa does not appear to be a significant causal factor in the development of melanoma in patients with Parkinson's disease. Despite the problems raised, the well-established therapeutic benefits of levodopa in the management of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease continue to outweigh the potential risk of causing melanoma. Conclusion: The study concludes that there is an increased risk of developing melanoma in patients with Parkinson's disease but that there is no evidence of a causal role of levodopa in increasing this risk or accelerating its growth

Background: Anterior shoulder dislocation represents a common reason for emergency room visits. Despite the wide range of motion provided by this joint in three-dimensional space, it is prone to dislocation, with a significant incidence rate. The choice of reduction technique lacks consensus, with over 25 possible maneuvers, largely dependent on the physician's preference and experience. Additionally, potential neurovascular injuries resulting from the maneuver or its poor execution add complexity to this issue, challenging emergency physicians and orthopedic surgeons. The self-assisted technique Boss-Holzach-Matter (BHM) shows promising benefits in reducing patient anxiety and medical costs. Materials and Methods: A manual bibliographic search was conducted in PubMed, Scielo, and Central databases for studies from the last 10 years analyzing reduction techniques using the keywords "techniques for shoulder dislocation". Titles, abstracts, and full articles were reviewed, extracting pertinent data. Out of the 17 articles found, including systematic reviews, clinical trials, and other publications, 10 were selected without language restrictions. Results: Reduction methods varied significantly among studies. Comparison between self-assisted techniques like BHM and Spaso revealed differences in success rate and pain tolerance. The Davos technique demonstrated high effectiveness, although it was associated with potential complications. Comparative studies supported the efficacy of BHM and Milch in unassisted reduction. Conclusions: The need for further research to validate these findings, identify limitations, and evaluate clinical applicability is acknowledged. Additional studies are required to confirm the effectiveness of self-assisted techniques such as BHM, Milch, and Davos, as well as to address the potential limitations and considerations associated with each technique

Current university classrooms have prompted teaching teams to consider how to address diversity in teaching and learning processes. In particular, the field of Tourism has emerged as fertile ground for the incorporation of a gender perspective as a means of challenging hegemonic tourism development. Thus, it has become a powerful tool for curriculum transformation.
In this context, a pedagogy incorporating gender as an analytical category was envisaged, aiming to develop a critical perspective among students that highlights the inequalities between women and men in tourism activities. From this approach, in the "Introduction to Tourism" course at the National University of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica and South Atlantic Islands, the pedagogical proposal was based on the notion that all education is inherently sexual (Morgade et al, 2011).(1) Therefore, the classroom activities designed within the framework of the course aimed to address different subjectivities and diversities, recognizing that education should ensure that all interests, including pleasures and desires, are addressed in the academic setting.
This communication elaborates on various tools for integrating a gender perspective into the curriculum of this course. These tools include: program as a discourse genre, inclusion of female researchers in the production of academic tourism knowledge, biographical narratives from students, the analysis of audiovisual materials, sharing of regulations and academic practices related to this perspective, and the questioning of the use of inclusive language

The origins of this problem go back to one of the many conflicts between society and nature that the hydrological policies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Spain caused. The construction of the Ebro reservoir, defended as the most economical work of the time in relation to the volume of the reservoir, was presented as a solution to the frequent droughts in the Ebro valley. The construction of irrigation and power plants promised to boost the country's economy and would mean significant demographic, industrial and commercial growth throughout the area.

Upstream, however, a region inhabited by more than 15,000 people would see everything they had worked for and grown up with disappear under the water. These people, who were mainly livestock farmers, had terraced land with fertile soil, crops, fruit trees, mining and some glass and crystal factories, all of which are in danger of disappearing as a result of the construction of the reservoir.

Lorenzo Pardo, the project's architect, wanted the active participation of the people affected. Although the project had its supporters, it was overwhelmingly opposed by those who saw it as a serious threat to their way of life. The proposed compensation was insufficient to make up for the huge losses in livestock, agriculture, mining, glassmaking and infrastructure, especially roads.

The outcome of the conflict, after many twists and turns, ended with the water covering everything in its path after a civil war that left the country in a complicated situation. Many of those neighbours are no longer alive to recount their experiences, but the story lives on in the minds of the few neighbours who still resist in the surrounding area, and in the remnants that appear each time the level of the reservoir drops

The presentation dealt with an experience of a transdisciplinary research project carried out with different spaces of participation and territorial work, close to the National University of Lanús. Methodologically, it put into practice collectively social mapping. The selected spaces - an community orchard, a soup kitchen and a day center for the elderly - were linked in different ways to health care in an integral sense. The objective was to understand the way in which care strategies and practices were deployed in these spaces before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Each of the three experiences had its particularities, but as a whole they represented an instance of dislocation of the place of disciplinary knowledge in the production and interpretation of the cartographic object. Cartography is linked to colonial expansion, its maps function as a mode of appropriation of the real; social cartography, on the other hand, proposes a counter-geography, subverting the established order through a reconfiguration of territories.(1) In this sense, knowledge was deployed through novel ways of writing and reading. Likewise, the feedback spaces contributed to the reworking with the organizations, outside the conventional epistemic and analytical parameters. When it came to interpretation, mapping also disarmed and reconfigured the researchers for the analysis, favoring an inter, multi- and transdisciplinary dialogue that operated on images, memories and accounts of experience towards the production of a knowledge in movement

Despite the growing importance of interdisciplinary studies for the development of science, quantitative works on the subject are not abundant. Bibliometrics offers tools to analyze interdisciplinarity through a complementary approach to qualitative work. While there is a body of precedents in bibliometrics (1,2,3,4,5,6), methodological proposals for the construction of databases of the intersection of two disciplines are scarce.(7) Thus, a proposal is made to identify an interdisciplinary field with a set of scholarly articles.

The objective of this work is to develop a methodology for defining the intersection between the fields of neuroscience and computational science. This area of study is not directly traceable from categorizations in databases. For this reason, three strategies are built to delimit an interdisciplinary corpus and compare the potential and limitations of each of them. The three strategies are focused, on the one hand, on keywords and, on the other hand, on citation and reference patterns using the Web Of Science database. 

It is found that it is possible to operationalize the interdiscipline with two types of approaches: 1. A semantic approach based on the use of keywords. A relational approach focusing on cross-references and citations between articles from the two disciplines. As a result, a basis for the study of the intersection between the fields of neurosciences and computational sciences from a bibliometric perspective is obtained, and a methodological proposal for the quantitative study of interdiscipline in other areas of knowledge is mad

There is an area of multidisciplinary research for which inter- and transdisciplinary production is fundamental. This is foresight or futures studies. This discipline, which deals with inquiring about what may happen in the future to support present decisions, is based on the production of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge, to know what the probable, possible and desirable futures of complex and ambiguous problems may be. To this end, a variety of methodologies taken from different scientific disciplines and areas of knowledge are used and adapted, and specific methods have also been designed to work on the future horizon, to denaturalize notions of temporality and to generate multicausal and alternative thinking. One of these is the narrative scenario method. 
This paper seeks to show some of the mechanisms used in the scenarios to generate inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge, the capacity of this method to integrate different methodological approaches and to show examples of the usefulness of this type of exercises to address complex problems, about which there is a wide uncertainty about their future development and different disputed values that are at stake in the issue. Specifically, it focuses on three mechanisms or methodological tools: 1. the special categories (prospective jargon), 2. the prospective funnel and 3. the images of the future and narratives. The main objective is to elucidate the role that inter- and transdisciplinary knowledge play in these elements. The examples given refer to exercises carried out in recent years in the field of agri-food and environmental foresight

Secretariat of Science and Technology of the University of Buenos Aires. The project aimed to produce a technical report addressing the scope and limitations of preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in Argentina. The experiences, progress and findings of our interdisciplinary team comprising researchers from biological sciences and psychology are discussed here.
Two fundamental aspects of the reproductive medicine field were addressed. Firstly, despite the existence of law 26,862/2013 covering assisted reproductive treatments, preimplantation genetic tests remain excluded from the Mandatory Medical Plan, highlighting access limitations. Moreover, challenges arise from the lack of specific regulations on central issues for the development of reproductive treatments, such as the legal status of non-implanted embryos. This particular situation prompted an analysis of the paradigm shift from collective health to precision medicine.
Within this framework, our work critically examined the implications of PGT on approaches to knowledge and interventions in living organisms. We explored how PGT shapes notions of uncertainty, control, anticipation and the individualization of pathological conditions, shedding light on evolving forms of subjectivity. Additionally, we scrutinized genetic essentialism and determinism as discourses that either flatten differences or advocate for the "optimization" of life itself

The use of herbicides worldwide is currently the subject of debate both within the scientific community and among the general public, focusing on their potential adverse effects on
human health. However, there are few studies on the molecular and cellular changes produced by herbicides.(1-5)
In this work, it was proposed to advance in the understanding of the cell signaling pathways affected by exposure to three herbicide formulations: RoundUp (RU, a.i.: glyphosate), Gesaprim (GS, a.i.: atrazine) and Paraquat Insuagro (PI, a.i.: paraquat). In particular, it was studied the effects of exposure to these formulations on the response to misfolded proteins or UPR, and the PI3K/Akt pathway in the HeLa Kyoto cell line. Dysregulation of these pathways has been reported to be associated with various malignancies.
For all in vitro herbicide exposure assays, concentrations below the recommended application limit were chosen to evaluate the effect, on different exposure times on the regulation of both pathways.(6-14) For these purposes, western blot and fluorescence microscopy techniques were used.
Results revealed activation of all three branches of the UPR (ATF6, PERK and IRE1) in those cells exposed to PI. On the other hand, ATF6 was activated as a result of GS exposure. In the case of RU, dysregulation of the PI3K/Akt pathway was observed, without detecting changes in the UPR. In conclusion, exposure of HeLa Kyoto cells to different herbicides leads to dysregulation of both the UPR and the PI3K/Akt pathway

Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) constitutes a systematic space for teaching and learning about contents from different curricular areas, appropriate to the ages of boys and girls, and addressed in a cross-cutting manner and/or in specific spaces. From an integral conception, sexuality education includes the integration of physical, emotional, intellectual and social aspects related to sexuality. CSE is, at the same time, an opportunity for schools, in coordination with other actors, to offer effective responses to student rights violations -such as violence, abuse or mistreatment against children and adolescents- by undertaking protection and reparation measures. Previous studies recognize the importance of examining the Psychoeducation materials on Health Education topics, so it is necessary to investigate how learning can be facilitated from them. Considering the importance of examining this topic to promote students' health, we will first talk about the importance of CSE, then we will focus on previous literature to expose the main studies on strategies used by comprehenders at the time of learning (note taking - note review) and finally, we will comment on the importance of the modality of presentation of the material

The peri-urban areas of Latin American cities register environmental problems linked to expansion processes. In the peri-urban area of Mar del Plata, General Pueyrredon District, the growth of the city translates into land use incompatibilities that have led to conflicts over the application of agrochemicals. This work traces the trajectory of the conflict while proposing to analyze the current regulations referring to the regulation of agrochemicals based on the development of thematic cartography. Based on official data, field surveys and interviews, maps were prepared using a Geographic Information System that allowed analyzing the potential and limitations of the implementation of the regulations. Current regulations show contradictions that limit their application. However, in the territory a paradigm shift in the way of production is gaining increasing strength that seeks to move towards more sustainable alternative models

Leptospirosis and dengue are zoonotic diseases that share some risk factors, necessitating interdisciplinary approaches for a comprehensive understanding. Santa Fe City exhibits environmental and social conditions conducive to the transmission of both diseases. The objective of this study was to characterize the epidemiological, biological, and socio-cultural potential risk factors in Alto Verde. A survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) was conducted alongside serological analysis for antibodies, and detection of vectors and reservoirs. Rodent sampling involved the placement of hair traps in four transects in December 2023, followed by live-trapping in February 2024 (totaling 88 trap-nights per sampling). Eight mosquito sampling points were established, each comprising 5 houses. Sampling involved recording the number of potential breeding sites, collecting and quantifying Aedes larvae and utilizing two Prokopack-type vacuums for collecting adults. A total of 126 neighbors responded the questionnaire and 102 serum samples were obtained. Dengue seroprevalence was determined by ELISA IgG test; 10% samples were positive; analysis of Leptospira seroprevalence is ongoing. Positive hair traps accounted for 49% of the tubes used and rodents captured were nine mice and two rats. Mosquito data showed great variation among sampling points in the number of breeding sites recorded (47-248), and in Aedes larvae (23-241) and adults (3-15) collected, indicating the presence of hotspots in the sampling area. High dengue antibody prevalence in the surveyed areas correlated with numerous potential breeding sites. Rodent infestation was substantial, and surveys indicated a lack of leptospirosis awareness among the population, contrasting with their knowledge of dengue

The objective of the work was to present and discuss the contributions of the transdisciplinary approach to research on the study of habitat and social inequalities from a complex multidimensional perspective, mainly economic, gender, productive and territorial, in relation to the fruit and vegetable production of a productive Consortium. of Gran Resistencia, in the province of Chaco.
To achieve this objective, a strategic analysis tool known by the acronym SWOT was used to identify the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats in relation to a business or organization. The data analyzed for said strategic diagnosis come from two research and extension activities, which took place in previous works of the authors and were analyzed and interpreted from an epistemological perspective of scientific knowledge of multidimensional inequality.
As a result, the results matrix is constructed with the four dimensions and the main factors that appear in each quadrant, systematizing the dimensions considered (economic, gender, productive and territorial

The V Meeting on Foundations and Applications of Interdisciplinary Research (JFAI-2024) will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from April 24th to 28th, 2024, at Centro Municipal de Arte de Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The event will gather researchers and students from diverse disciplines and aims to discuss the foundations and applications of interdisciplinary research. It is focused on its theoretical aspects, and relevance for social, environmental, and gender issues in our region.
One of the main working hypotheses of the Conference is that these investigations are inevitably crossed by the discussion about the role of researchers, science, and science and technology institutions in society. Issues related to the challenges in multi-, inter- and trans-disciplinary investigations will be also addressed. Moreover, we expect to address the differences between them and the science and technology evaluation processes. 
The Conference will be focused on the core topics listed below. It is important to stress that these axes are meant as a guide for authors when preparing their proposals. But it is also possible to submit proposals about research topics which are not included in the list, provided that thet are related to the Conference's main theme

Emotional autobiographical memory (AM) comprises a set of personal events (episodic) and general information (semantic) highly relevant to the self. This type of memory refers not only to past events, but also influences the meaning of the present and guides future behavior. Even so, there is little literature on positive MA and this is related to an inherent methodological difficulty. In the present study, the evocation of positive and neutral MA was assessed in a sample of 72 participants based on the reported gender identity, the typicality of the gender role (BSRI), the retrieval modality (free recall or recognition) and the basal stress level (EEP-10). The amount of details present, their assessment and the subjective self-report of the emotional AM evoked were evaluated. The results indicated significant differences in subjective self-report according to the typicality of the gender role; differences in the amount of details present depending on the retrieval modality and differences in the value of the thoughts/emotions/actions present depending on the evocation modality and baseline stress. No differences were found based on gender identity. These results present an original contribution to the study of the phenomenological and content characterization of positive emotional MA

Understanding the conditions under which groups of people perform better than independent individuals is a fundamental challenge in the social and psychological sciences.(1,2) A central phenomenon in this field is the "wisdom of crowds" (the aggregate of independent estimates can be more accurate than the best individual judgment),(3,4) used in various areas, including politics(5), health(6), and business(7). While previous research suggests that group deliberation improves the accuracy of crowds, the mechanisms behind this remain unclear.(8) This study addresses this question by analyzing the use of the "Fermi method" in groups (breaking down complex questions into simpler ones and combining their solutions to reach the final answer).(9) A first study with 130 groups of 4 participants interacting in chat rooms (N=520) confirmed that group estimates are more accurate than individual ones, especially in those groups that use the Fermi method. This result was obtained by analyzing written discussions, both with human evaluators and automated methods. A second study (N=240) provided causal evidence of this phenomenon by explicitly requesting that some groups use the Fermi method, while asking others to employ estimation aggregation strategies. A third study (N=160) showed that collectively employing the Fermi method leads to superior improvement compared to using it individually. In summary, these results provide causal evidence that collectively employing the Fermi method improves group estimates, promoting its application in various domains, through either explicit instructions or automated detection methods

The presentation develops the experience of training popular libraries in Argentina that develop cultural management projects with a territorial and community perspective in cooperation with the National University of Villa María. The novelty of the proposal lies in the use of Wikimedia tools that have, among other aspects, the promotion of free and open culture and the decolonization of Internet content. Argentine popular libraries respond to their environment, providing their communities with cultural and educational assets that they would not otherwise be able to access. In this sense, the use of technological tools and free digital platforms such as Wikimedia can be of great help for the development of cultural projects that preserve and disseminate local heritage, promote cultural education and encourage reading. To achieve these objectives, it is essential to have adequate project management that allows planning, executing and evaluating the different actions developed within the framework of cultural projects. This implies moving from isolated activities to institutional projects that involve the community and the context. This is why the training proposal that we carry out has a strong axis in the recognition of cultural makers of our communities. The presentation will develop the assumptions that support the initiative as well as the educational strategy and finally reflections will be made on the impacts and scope of training. We hope to contribute to collective reflections that have at their center the right to culture and the decolonization of content on the internet

This review examined the interplay among need for cognitive closure, learning, emotions and prejudice. The need to explore this interplay arises from the lack of comprehensive studies addressing how need for cognitive closure affects information processing in broader contexts, especially in relation to important social issues (such as discrimination and prejudice). We sought to highlight the importance of investigating possible interventions using these materials

In Argentina, since the mid-90s, an agricultural model based on genetically modified crops and herbicides such as glyphosate and atrazine has been adopted [1]. The resistance of weeds to these herbicides has led to the use of alternatives such as glufosinate ammonium, alachlor and mesotrione, whose effects on human health are poorly studied [2]. This raises concerns, especially for possible carcinogenic effects, which underlines the need for more research on these alternative herbicides [3]. 
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential toxicological effect of these alternative herbicides, identifying the proteins that can interact with them directly or indirectly using the STITCH and STRING platforms [4, 5]. Then, those biological processes potentially affected as a consequence of the interaction of these herbicides with the identified proteins were identified. An enrichment analysis was performed on those overrepresented proteins/genes associated with the category “Biological Process” and “KEGG PATHWAYS” from the Gene Ontology and SHINYGO databases respectively [6].
It was found that, in general, these herbicides could affect both signaling pathways related to cell proliferation, programmed cell death, stress response, as well as the cellular response to xenobiotics, processing, maturation and biogenesis of ribosomal RNA. In addition, possible associated pathologies were found, such as neuro-degeneration, Lupus and cancer. These findings are consistent with previous reports on the toxic effects of these herbicides on human health, giving an account of their potential to produce diseases such as different types of cancer [7, 8, 9]

“In order to understand where we are today, it is necessary to review the past” was the starting point of the workshops that have been given with the purpose of providing theoretical tools (social exclusion1, urban marginality2 and environmental degradation) to the comrades who are part of the pre-cooperative CORESA (Community of Recoverers of Santiago del Estero). The main premise to incorporate the workshop called “History of the Carton Movement” in the training cycle has been to put in discussion and reflection among all members of CORESA the historical events that have delineated the emergence of public policies that favor the movement, such as the one implemented in recent years around the Inclusive Integrated Management of Urban Solid Waste. 
The work methodology implemented has been the workshop, in which perceptions and interactions among the actors that are part of CORESA have been identified. As a starting point, it was decided to use the interactive tool (Mentimeter3) to find out what each of the participants understood by history. Subsequently, theoretical concepts and key events in the history of Argentina (industrialization in the 1940s, neoliberalism in the 1990s and the crisis of 2001) were discussed. In a third moment, a phrase or word that the participant considered relevant to what was worked on in the workshop was recorded anonymously on a card (paper). 
The following phrases stand out: “The struggle is collective” and “Union”. Recourse to memory, to historical events that have marked the individual, has led to the formation of a collective construction, which has triggered reflection on how and why recycling with social inclusion is sustained today in the city of Santiago del Estero

The economic agenda and corporate interests can influence and/or drive the public biomedical research agenda, establishing priorities in the study topics. In this work, we analyzed the contents of the cancer research agenda in Argentina, including a comprehensive analysis of the different epistemological dimensions associated with the study of this set of pathologies.
Methods:
A bibliometric analysis was conducted based on 7319 scientific articles published between 1980 and 2023, divided into two periods (1980-2000 and 2001-2023), containing one or more authors with Argentina as their affiliation country. The PubMed database and the CorText platform were used to work with the database and to extract the most frequent multi-terms. Through this extraction, the main categories linked to cancer research, their preponderance in the local research agenda, and the place occupied by approaches linked to the molecular, social, and environmental determinants of cancer could be visualized. The content of this cancer research agenda was represented through co-occurrence networks of the predominant multi-terms found in the articles' titles, keywords, and abstracts.
Results:
The results reflected a strong predominance of methodological approaches associated with molecular and cellular biology. In addition, terms associated with breast cancer had a strong predominance in recent years. The analysis also revealed that the study of socio-environmental factors influencing the development and progression of diseases such as occupational, environmental, and exposure to xenobiotics remained marginal in the cancer research agenda of Argentina during the last four decades.
Conclusions:
It is concluded that the orientation of the Argentine cancer research agenda excludes, with few exceptions, the prevention and study of socio-environmental factors associated with the development and progression of cancer, favoring a reductionist methodological approach anchored in Molecular and Cellular Biology and linked to the development of therapeutic and pharmacological interventions

This paper analyzed the approach that new biotechnological strategies offer to agribusiness problems. CRISPR technologies have been testing for more than 10 years the development of different plants with particular characteristics that can offer solutions to different problems and challenges of agribusiness(1, 2). 
Initial problems were considered, which are typical of industry-environment interaction(3, 4); emerging problems arising from agroindustrial activity; legal or regulatory problems(5, 6); and the growing “social rejection” was identified as a problem of agroindustry.
It was observed that the developments aim at solving the initial problems by offering resistance to climatic, biotic and pesticide factors, and that the solutions offered are similar to those of transgenesis but with a wider scope. Numerous studies explicitly state the intention to develop transgen-free plants in order to avoid the time required for commercial approval(7). 
These results enable the identification of two concerns. The first one refers to the further development of herbicide-resistant plants, since their application may lead to an increase in emerging problems. The second refers to the neglect of a whole list of problems and damages that affect the environment and the community, which despite being partially recognized in some research, are not addressed. Pending questions: What is the level of knowledge about these technologies in the communities? What do they think about them?

Feminist Movements warn that there are inequalities based on socio-cultural structures that assign different roles and opportunities to people based on their gender, perpetuating stereotypes limits the full development of women and gender-diverse individuals.(1) Despite the enactment of “Gender Identity” Law 26,743 in Argentina (2012), gender biases, the cisheteronormative approach, and the binary logic in Biomedical and Health Sciences make non-hegemonic identities invisible and stigmatize them, creating risks for their access to integrated health care.(2, 3) Trans, transvestite, and non-binary (TTNB) people continue to face barriers to access and accessibility within the health system, including the lack of training by health professionals to meet their specific needs.(4) From the Endocrinology course at the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of the National University of Córdoba, we promote the training of future health professionals with a trans-inclusive gender perspective,(5) sharing concrete experiences where recognizing TTNB users as subjects of rights, respecting their pronouns and attending specific training promotes greater adherence to treatments, optimizes the use of resources, increases the accuracy of clinical monitoring and improves the biomedical approach to health. In conclusion, we support the advancement of the mainstreaming of the non-binary gender perspective in the teaching and learning processes in the curricula of future health professionals, promoting comprehensive and equitable biomedical care for the entire population

In this work the categories and principles of Enrique Dussel's Ethics of Liberation were presented with the objective of outlining the conceptual bases of a Science and Technology of Liberation in Latin America.(1,2,3,4,5) Scientific knowledge and technological tools can serve as an instrument of domination or can, on the contrary, contribute to liberation. To promote the latter, the work offered normative principles that allow us to judge and orient the natural sciences and their technological developments in our region. These principles contain a material aspect linked to the affirmation of the life of communities denied by a dominant world-system, a formal aspect that points to the need for their participation in the establishment of research agendas and technological developments, and a feasibility aspect that recognizes the conditions for the concrete realization of the remaining principles.(6,7,8) To illustrate all this, Agroecology was presented as a possible expression of and opportunity for a Science and Technology of Liberation in favor of the oppressed. The final reflections highlighted the importance of considering the world of the systemic victims as the point of departure and arrival of all scientific-technological research with pretensions of ethical goodness

Text sentiment analysis is a valuable tool in natural language processing, allowing the inference of emotional valuations in texts. Initially designed for English tweets, we have adapted these algorithms to analyze Spanish news headlines 1. During the 2019 election, major candidates received increased media attention and were the subject of more positive coverage 2. In our current study, we analyzed 12,059 news headlines published by mainstream media during the 2023 election. We observed that 58.35% of the headlines mentioned Milei, followed by 29.54% Massa, and 10.76% Bullrich, while Bregman and Schiaretti had a lower presence. We excluded the latter from the analysis due to their low support. The Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed significant differences in mean positivity among the remaining candidates (H=10.63; p<0.005), especially between Bullrich-Milei (p<0.04) and Massa-Milei (p<0.0001). For the ballotage, the mean positivity of Milei and Massa was almost significant (p<0.057). A time series analysis revealed an increase in positivity towards Massa before the general election, but positivity towards Milei predominated before the ballotage. Although social networks are the main platform to disseminate libertarian ideas associated with Milei, the press media have favored his candidacy (along with Bullrich), establishing a common right-wing political agenda. This is reflected in the mentions and positivity associated with the libertarian candidate, suggesting a significant influence of the media in the public perception of the candidates during the electoral process

This paper represents the progress of a research project entitled "Use of time, care economy and health: paid and unpaid work experiences of professional women from the capital city of Santiago del Estero (2023-2024)", presented in a call for proposals from the Secretariat of Science and Technology (SeCYT) of the Catholic University of Santiago del Estero (UCSE). This project aims to explore the paid and unpaid work activity of professional women in the capital city of Santiago del Estero and the implications of these tasks on their health during the period between 2023 and 2024. In this sense, this study aims to summarize and analyze the scientific literature on the subject, starting with the question of the particularities of time use in male and female workers in Latin America. The results allow us to identify the time dedicated to work for the labor market, domestic and care work; to explore the meanings attributed to work and to analyze the implications that these tasks have for the integral health (physical, psychological, social, cultural) of workers. The relevance of this research lies not only in the deconstruction of androcentric categories to analyze the various forms and dimensions of the concept of time use, but also in the observation of a marked sexual division of labor, since it is women who most frequently assume the responsibility for unpaid domestic and care work

Chagas disease is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. In Argentina, Triatoma infestans is its main vector. Its occurrence has been documented in rural areas, although currently also in urban areas of the Northwest and Cuyo, including San Juan(1,2,3). With the aim of conducting an ecoepidemiological study in an urban setting, a cross-sectional study was carried out in Villa San Roque, Rivadavia Department, San Juan, during October 2022. Entomological assessments, sociodemographic and social practices surveys were conducted on adult residents of the dwellings that allowed access. High participation was observed (89%, n = 179/201 dwellings assessed), mainly women (57%). 71% of the respondents had an age range between 18-64 years, while the remaining 29% were over 65 years of age. 90% were born in the province of San Juan and 81% were born in urban areas. In the houses infested by T. infestans (n = 20), the most frequent wall materials were ceramic bricks and adobe (40% in both cases); while 65% of the roofs were wood. 55% of the participants had secondary education, the most frequent work activity was self-employment (45%), 50% had applied some insecticide in the last year and 70% had domestic animals. The results show that we are dealing with a complex socio-environmental phenomenon that develops in a densely populated environment. Further studies are essential to better understand the epidemiological status in the urban area and its associated characteristics(4,5)

In the present investigation diverse information quantifiers have been applied to the study of time-series of COVID-19. First, it has been analyzed how the smoothing of the curves affects the informative content of the series, using permutation and wavelet entropies for the series of new daily cases, by means of a sliding-windows’ method. Besides, in order to evaluate the relationship between the curves of new daily cases of infections and deaths, the wavelet coherence has been calculated. The results show the utility of information quantifiers to understand the unpredictable behaviour of the pandemics in the short and mean time

Defining ways of assessing progress in psychology is a pressing problem, especially considering the multiple nature of the object of psychological study, which spans behavioral, cognitive, and experiential dimensions, as well as the axiological density of a science ultimately directed at human behavior. The scope of some forms of scientific pluralism (Wendt & Slife 2009, Chang 2012, Mitchell 2012, Mattu & Sullivan 2021), a position that favorably values the coexistence of theoretical models and other epistemic resources, was explored here for psychology. Part of the motivation for this consisted in erecting a strategy to dismiss the still commonplace (Goertzen 2008, Zittoun et al. 2009, Uher 2021) alarm calls under the idea of a crisis lurking in the field. The hypothesis that these are largely tied to underlying unificationist standards was articulated and supported. A pluralist position inspired by the pragmatism of Mitchell (2012) and Chang (2012), in particular, his notion of pluriaxial regimes in science, was delineated. Such a pluralist epistemology at the same time supports a particular stance on research practices and the division of labor in psychology, which places description and classification as core activities. In addition to making possible an optimistic view of progress in psychology, it thus offers another way of relaxing the neat and limiting division between descriptive-classificatory and explanatory objectives, which at the same time makes it possible to encompass descriptive practices of disparate scope and oriented towards multiple ends

From an intercultural perspective, this research seeks to contribute to discussions about the continued presence of the Charrúa Nation People in Entre Ríos during the 20th and 21st centuries in the field of humanities and social sciences. An interdisciplinary documentary survey is carried out in universities, from an interdisciplinary perspective, including philosophy, anthropology, sociology, ethics, law, history, semiotics and social work, as well as interviews with researchers on indigenous peoples. The search in library and theses catalogues of UADER has yielded limited results, with little academic production identified. The researchers consulted in Argentina and Uruguay have referred to works on the Charrúa Nation People in Uruguay, but none are aware of research related to Entre Ríos, Argentina.
It is preliminarily concluded that the invisibilization or denial of the existence of the Charrúa people reinforces a colonialist and Eurocentric vision of the province, which has lasted from the colonial era to the present. This hegemonic view denies the existence of Charrúa identities and other indigenous peoples, both in symbolic and material aspects, evidenced in the lack of policies for the restitution of territories, no implementation of Bilingual Intercultural Education and intercultural health and absence of prior consultations on policies with environmental and cultural impact, among others. There is a paucity of historical and archaeological knowledge production on this subject, with only one study identified so far

Feminist discussions are reflected in scientific production.(1) During the 1970s, various lines of research from different disciplines were institutionalized, conforming gender studies.(2,3) While "gender studies" often denotes a field, it can be understood as an umbrella term for a diversity of approaches. From other disciplines, a gender perspective can be adopted, recognizing the constitution of power relations between genders and considering their concrete expressions in different areas.

Given the diffusion of this approach in multiple disciplines, its bibliometric approach presents difficulties. New computational tools can contribute to identifying publications linked to gender studies even when they are indexed as part of other disciplines. In this work, we applied bibliometric techniques and natural language processing to the Dimensions database to build a dataset of scientific publications that allows us to analyze gender studies and their influence on other disciplines.(4–6) This is achieved through a hybrid methodology that combines core journals and keywords in titles.

We obtained a set of more than 1.5 million publications, in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, published between 1970 and 2020. It allows characterizing gender studies according to citations and collaborations, the participation of institutions, countries and regions, or the evolution of certain concepts or theories. The methodology used would be suitable for studying other cases that exceed disciplinary limits, such as schools of thought or political movements that have become scientific disciplines

In this paper, we will try to establish the conditions of possibility of agency. We will present a notion of ‘freedom’, as opposed to the traditional concept of ‘free will’, based on a pluralistic and relational ontology that admits the existence of real possibilities. In contrast to the traditional view, we propose that ‘freedom’ is not a condition necessarily carried by individuals, nor is it limited to human beings, but is a characteristic of complex and organised systems capable of acting as mediating agents of real possibilities. Our conceptualisation takes up the Aristotelian notion of potency and admits different ‘degrees of potency’ inspired by the Deleuzian reading of Spinoza. In this sense, an agentive action admits degrees of ‘freedom’ when its expression incorporates, in a creative act, real possibilities that are not regulated by deterministic laws. In this way, we can account for agentive actions on the part of different types of agents, ranging from complex living organisms to collective actions of subjects and social classes, thus connecting with post-humanist and anti-speciesist perspectives. Our work is not intended to provide an empirically testable notion but is compatible with (and inspired by) the available physical-biological knowledge. We hope that the proposed notions We hope that the proposed notions will have an impact on future research on the emergence of individuation and consciousness, as well as ethical-political consequences. In this sense, our notion contrasts with the one proposed by liberal currents, based on freedom as an intrinsic property of human individuals related to each other by competitive ties, which results in a purely ‘negative’ notion. The enquiry into the general conditions of possibility of freedom naturally leads us to a critique of the form that human freedom acquires in contemporary society and to continue asking ourselves about the development of a historically novel materiality that allows for the empowerment of collective agency
