    Abstract Abstract In Colombia, political decisions related to the countryside preserve an unjust social order, maintaining inequities and obstacles to the well-being and life quality of farmers. In this scenario the Territorial Arrangement Planning of the San Nicolas Valley, in the East of the department of Antioquia, has generated a series of rural conflicts that accentuate the vulnerabilities of rural residents, threatening the agricultural tradition in this subregion. Thus, this study inquired about the perceptions of legality in the peasant population of the area. A descriptive-correlational study with non-probabilistic sampling was carried out, including 380 peasants, members of civic-rural associations of the San Nicolas Valley, evaluating in four scales: beliefs, values, knowledge of the law and perceived legality in the context. Statistical analyses were performed in SPSS v.22 software. The findings indicated significant relationships between the study variables. Despite the state abandonment of the proletariat to market forces in an area with socioeconomic imbalances, no determining link was found between low income and violation of the law.

    Abstract Ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and other genotoxic stresses induce bulky DNA lesions, which threaten genome stability and cell viability. Cells have evolved two main repair pathways to remove such lesions: global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) and transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER). The modes by which these subpathways recognize DNA lesions are distinct, but they converge onto the same downstream steps for DNA repair. Here, we first summarize the current understanding of these repair mechanisms, specifically focusing on the roles of stalled RNA polymerase II, Cockayne syndrome protein B (CSB), CSA and UV-stimulated scaffold protein A (UVSSA) in TC-NER. We also discuss the intriguing role of protein ubiquitylation in this process. Additionally, we highlight key aspects of the effect of UV irradiation on transcription and describe the role of signaling cascades in orchestrating this response. Finally, we describe the pathogenic mechanisms underlying xeroderma pigmentosum and Cockayne syndrome, the two main diseases linked to mutations in NER factors.

    Abstract Classical theories of intersubjectivity hold that the first interactions in which children participate are dyadic (adult-baby). However, thanks to the material shift that is taking place in the cognitive sciences, an increasing number of authors began to recognise the constitutive role that materiality has for cognition, from the very beginning of life. Interactions do not occur in a vacuum, but within a meaning-loaded material world that adults actively seek to bring to children. While in the field of dyadic interactions studies on communicative musicality have shown how interactive exchanges are structured and how that structure unfolds over time, little is known yet about the internal structure of early triadic interactions. In this paper, we propose a longitudinal, mixed and multilevel methodological framework aimed at describing the dynamics of the musical organisation of early triadic interactions between adults, babies and things, and its development over different timescales. We conclude that if researchers want to fully understand early triadic interactions and their musical structuring, further studies that take into account the cognitive relevance of things and the dynamics of our interactions with and through materiality are needed.

    Abstract The use of less lethal weapons aims to mitigate civilian casualties caused by firearm use. However, due to numerous cases in which these weapons caused serious injuries, even lethal injuries, both legislation and the forensic field are interested in characterizing and regulating them better. In the forensic field, there is a lack of strong research about injury patterns of these weapons which makes it difficult to identify the type of weapon employed. In this study, the main objective was to characterize the injury pattern produced by the impact of the 9 mm P.A.K. projectile. A porcine model was used. Four different distances were studied: firm contact, 10 cm, 60 cm and 110 cm, using 3 of the more representative anatomical sites: the head, the hind leg and the ribs. The average measurement of the entrance orifice varied according to the anatomical site, being 6.67 mm wide and 6.25 mm long in the thorax, 7.3 mm wide and 8.8 mm long in the hind legs, and 7.62 mm wide and 7.54 mm long in the head. The variation in width and length measurements was not found to be directly related to the shot distance. The gunshot residues had similar characteristics to those of conventional lead projectiles, however there was more unburned powder deposit near the wounds, with a less dense soot and more dense powder tattoo. Depth varied widely regardless of tissue and firing distance, although loss of penetrating power and injury is observed as one moves away from the target.

    Abstract Objective: To synthetize the evidence on the effects of hand rehabilitation (RHB) interventions on cognition post-stroke and compare their efficacy.
    Data sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL were searched from inception to November 2022.
    Data selection: Randomized controlled trials conducted in adults with stroke where the effects of hand motor interventions on any cognitive domains were assessed.
    Data extraction: Data were extracted by 2 independent reviewers. A Bayesian Network Meta-analysis (NMA) was applied for measures with enough studies and comparisons. Risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.
    Data synthesis: Fifteen studies were included in qualitative synthesis, and 11 in NMA. Virtual reality (VR) (n=7), robot-assisted (n=5), or handgrip strength (n=3) training were the experimental interventions and conventional RHB (n=14) control intervention. Two separate NMA were performed with MoCA (n=480 participants) and MMSE (n=350 participants) as outcome measures. Both coincided that the most probable best interventions were robot-assisted and strength training, according to SUCRA and rankogram, followed by conventional RHB and VR training. No significant differences between any of the treatments were found in the MoCA network, but in the MMSE, robot-assisted and strength training were significantly better than conventional RHB and VR. No significant differences between robot-assisted and strength training were found nor between conventional RHB and VR.
    Conclusions: Motor interventions can improve MoCA/MMSE scores post-stroke. Most probable best interventions were robot-assisted and strength training. Limited literature assessing domain-specific cognitive effects was found.

    Abstract Functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) are complex objects present in a variety of systems ranging from synthetic grafted nanoparticles to viruses. The morphology and number of the decorating groups can vary widely between systems. Thus, the modeling of functionalized NPs typically considers simplified spherical objects as a first-order approximation. At the nanoscale label, complex hydrodynamic interactions are expected to emerge as the morphological features of the particles change, and they can be further amplified when the NPs are confined or near walls. Direct estimation of these variations can be inferred via diffusion coefficients of the NPs. However, the evaluation of the coefficients requires an improved representation of the NPs morphology to reproduce important features hidden by simplified spherical models. Here, we characterize the passive transport of free and confined functionalized nanoparticles using the Rigid Multi-Blob (RMB) method. The main advantage of RMB is its versatility to approximate the mobility of complex structures at the nanoscale with significant accuracy and reduced computational cost. In particular, we investigate the effect of functional groups' distribution, size, and morphology over nanoparticle translational and rotational diffusion. We identify that the presence of functional groups significantly affects the rotational diffusion of the nanoparticles; moreover, the morphology of the groups and number induce characteristic mobility reduction compared to non-functionalized nanoparticles. Confined NPs also evidenced important alterations in their diffusivity, with distinctive signatures in the off-diagonal contributions of the rotational diffusion. These results can be exploited in various applications, including biomedical, polymer nanocomposite fabrication, drug delivery, and imaging.

    Abstract For the progress of synthetic supramolecular chemistry in aqueous solution the design of host molecules soluble in this medium is essential. A possible route is the introduction of ionic residues, with the additional advantage that also electrostatic interactions can be used to form supramolecular architectures. In this work we study the effect of different ionic substituents on a resorcin[4]arene host on solvation and counterion binding in water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). To do so, we combine dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) at 298.15 K and dilute-solution conductivity measurements covering 278.15-308.15 K. The results indicate that studied substituents lead to a comparable increase in solubility in both water and the dipolar-aprotic DMSO. However, solvation and counterion binding not only depend on the nature of the ionic substituent but also on the solvent. Although intrinsically hydrophobic in nature, resorcin[4]arenes with ionic substituents also show strong hydrophilic hydration in water, with the extent depending on the nature of the ionic group. In contrast to that, solvophobicity apparently dominates the interactions of DMSO with the solute. Counterion binding was found for both solvents and is essentially determined by solvent polarity. It appears that, compared to neat DMSO, the solubility of the cationic resorcin[4]arene with dimethylamine substituents is strongly increased in water-DMSO mixtures due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between two DMSO molecules and one water molecule.

    Abstract Introduction: Canadian Urological Association (CUA) conferences are held annually across Canada. Guests from across the world attended, contributing to the overall carbon footprint of the conference with their travel and accommodations. This study identified the carbon footprint of each of the 2016 (Vancouver), 2018 (Halifax), and 2019 (Quebec City) CUA conferences to investigate their carbon footprint and help determine the most eco-friendly location to hold future conferences.
    Methods: Registrant home institution was used to estimate the distance and method of transportation of attendee travel. Carbon footprint was calculated using an online calculator in tons of CO
    Results: Vancouver had the largest number of attendees (n=473; 407 flying, 66 driving), followed by Halifax (n=382; 331 flying, 51 driving), and Quebec City (n=362; 265 flying, 97 driving). The mean distance attendees travelled was greatest for the Vancouver CUA (6041 km/roundtrip) compared to Quebec City (3096 km/roundtrip, p<0.0001) and Halifax (2985 km/roundtrip, p<0.0001). There was no difference in mean distance travelled between Halifax and Quebec City (p=0.95). The highest total carbon footprint was seen in Vancouver (tCO
    Conclusions: The estimated emissions associated with the Vancouver CUA conference is greater than both the Halifax and Quebec City locations combined. In-person conferences provide several benefits to the urological community. Incorporating environmental considerations into conference planning, such as conference location, could reduce the CUA conference's overall carbon footprint, mitigating the contribution to rising temperatures and negative health outcomes.
