Abstract: This paper presents a prototype of an automobile driver assistance system based on YOLOv3. The system detects car types, traffic signs, and traffic lights in real-time and warns the driver accordingly. In the learning phase of the YOLO algorithm, the standard weights are learned first, followed by transfer learning to the objects of interest. The retraining phase uses 2,800 images obtained from the Internet of three countries of the real-life, and the testing phase uses real-time videos of Mexico City roads. In the validation phase, the proposed system achieves 95%, 37%, and 40% performance on the compiled dataset for the detection of road elements. The results obtained are comparable and in some cases better than those reported in previous works. Using a Raspberry Pi 4, the prototype was tested in real-life, generating visual and audible warnings for the driver, with an object recognition rate of 0.4 fps. A mean average precision (mAP) of 53% was reached by the proposed system. The experiments showed that the prototype achieved a poor recognition rate and required high computational processing for object recognition. However, YOLO is a model that can have good performance on low-resource hardware.

Abstract The objective of this work was to study the mean lethal concentration (LC50) and the biosorption capacity of heavy metals in isolated yeasts from Lake Junín and the Yanamate tailings facility. In both bodies of water were evaluated: pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, total dissolved solids (STD) and heavy metals by ICM-MS, according to the Environmental Quality Standards (ECA) of the Ministry of the Environment-MINAM of Peru. The physicochemical parameters evaluated in Lake Junín were higher than the maximum permissible limits (MPL) for the following metals: arsenic, cadmium, copper, chromium and lead. In the Yanamate tailings facility, the evaluated parameters were out of the LMP for type IV water ECAs: pH below 3 (acids), high electrical conductivities and high concentrations of heavy metals. From the sampled waters, yeasts were isolated in YPG medium at 10 ° C and 20 ° C. The LC50 of the Cr+6, Cu+2, Cd+2 and Hg+2 ions in Y. lipolytica AMJ3 were 0.24 mM, 1.34 mM, 0.54 mM y 7.5 0.04 mM in the order described; while the strain Y. lipolytica AMJ6 showed a LC50 of 1.06 mM, 1.42 mM, 0.49 mM y 0.05 mM in the same order. The biosorption capacity of the Cu+2 ion was 90% in the case of the AMJ3 strain, and 92% in the AMJ6 strain, at a concentration of 1.26 mM; likewise, the biosorption of the Cr+6 ion was close to 90% in both strains (AMJ3 and AMJ6) at concentrations of 0.24 mM and 0.96 mM, respectively. Nucleotide sequence analysis of AMJ3 and AMJ6 strains confirmed 100% identity in the Yarrowia lipolytica clade. These LC50 and biosorption capacity results indicate that the studied yeasts have potential in the bioremediation of water bodies and soils contaminated with heavy metals.

Resumen El objetivo del presente trabajo fue estudiar la concentración letal media (CL50) y la capacidad de biosorción de metales pesados en levaduras aisladas del Lago Junín y la relavera Yanamate. Se evaluaron en ambos cuerpos de agua: pH, conductividad eléctrica, temperatura, sólidos totales disueltos (STD) y metales pesados por ICM-MS, según los Estándares de Calidad Ambiental (ECA) del Ministerio del Ambiente-MINAM del Perú. Los parámetros fisicoquímicos evaluados en el Lago Junín fueron superiores a los límites máximos permisibles (LMP) para los siguientes metales: arsénico, cadmio, cobre, cromo y plomo. En la relavera Yanamate, los parámetros evaluados estuvieron fuera del LMP para los ECA de aguas tipo IV: pH inferiores a 3 (ácidos), altas conductividades eléctricas y elevadas concentraciones de metales pesados. A partir de las aguas muestreadas, se aislaron levaduras en medio YPG a 10 °C y 20 °C. La CL50 de los iones Cr+6, Cu+2, Cd+2 y Hg+2 en Y. lipolytica AMJ3 fue 0.24 mM, 1.34 mM, 0.54 mM y 7.5 0.04 mM en el orden descrito; en tanto la cepa Y. lipolytica AMJ6 mostró una CL50 de 1.06 mM, 1.42 mM, 0.49 mM y 0.05 mM en el mismo orden. La capacidad de biosorción del ion Cu+2 fue del 90% en el caso de la cepa AMJ3 y 92% en la cepa AMJ6, a una concentración de 1.26 mM; asimismo, la biosorción del ion Cr+6 fue cercana al 90% en ambas cepas (AMJ3 y AMJ6) a concentraciones de 0.24 mM y 0.96 mM, respectivamente. Los análisis de las secuencias nucleotídicas de las cepas AMJ3 y AMJ6 confirmaron una identidad del 100% en el clado de Yarrowia lipolytica. Los resultados obtenidos de CL50 y la capacidad de biosorción indican que las levaduras bajo estudio tienen potencial en la biorremediación de cuerpos de agua y suelos contaminados con metales pesados.

ABSTRACT Heavy metals released into the environment cause deterioration of environmental health. Their removal by biological means is a strategy under study. This research aimed to isolate and identify halophilic bacteria from saline-sodic soils and determine their tolerance to the metalloid As3+ and the heavy metals Cr6+, Hg2+, and Pb2+. The strains were grown on halophilic medium (HM), without and with the presence of each metal, at 10% NaCl, pH 8.0 ± 0.2, and 37 ºC. The strains with the highest tolerance to each metal were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was subsequently determined. Seventy-five halophilic strains were isolated. The isolates with the highest tolerance were Salinicococcus spp. strains TX3SA-2MHG1 and TX3SA-4MHG1 [MIC (Hg2+) of 0.1 mmol/L]; Halomonas sp. strain TXO4B-1SG9 [MIC (Pb2+) of 7.0 mmol/L]; Nocardiopsis sp. strains TXO7B-1SG12 and TXV10-3SG5 [MIC (As3+) of 8.5 mmol/L], and Nocardiopsis sp. strain TXV7-8SG2 [MIC (As3+) of 27.25 mmol/L; MIC (Cr6+) 1250.0 mmol/L; MIC (Hg2+) 0.075 mmol/L and MIC (Pb2+) 7.5 mmol/L]. It was possible to obtain and identify isolates of halophilic metal tolerant bacteria.

RESUMEN Los metales pesados liberados en el ambiente causan el deterioro de la salud ambiental. Su eliminación por medios biológicos es una estrategia en estudio. El objetivo de esta investigación fue aislar e identificar bacterias halófilas a partir de suelos salino-sódicos y determinar su tolerancia al metaloide As3+ y a los metales pesados Cr6+, Hg2+ y Pb2+. Las cepas fueron cultivadas en medio halófilo (MH), sin y con la presencia de cada metal, al 10 % de NaCl, pH 8.0 ± 0.2 y 37 ºC. Las cepas que mostraron mayor tolerancia a cada metal se identificaron por análisis de secuenciación del gen del ARNr 16S y por análisis filogenético, posteriormente se determinó la concentración mínima inhibitoria (CMI). Se aislaron 75 cepas halófilas. Los aislados con mayor tolerancia fueron Salinicoccus spp. TX3SA-2MHG1 y TX3SA-4MHG1 [CMI (Hg2+) de 0.1 mmol/L]; Halomonas sp. TXO4B-1SG9 [CMI (Pb2+) de 7.0 mmol/L]; Nocardiopsis sp. TXO7B-1SG12 y TXV10-3SG5 [CMI (As3+) de 8. 5 mmol/L] y Nocardiopsis sp. TXV7-8SG2 [CMI (As3+) de 27.25 mmol/L; CMI (Cr6+) 1 250.0 mmol/L; CMI (Hg2+) 0.075 mmol/L y CMI (Pb2+) 7.5 mmol/L].

ABSTRACT Mycetoma is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016. It is characterized by the progressive growth of nodules and granulomatous lesions on the legs, arms, and trunk. It is potentially disfiguring and causes disability or amputations in working-age people from marginalized areas. The causative agents can be fungi (eumycetoma) or actinobacteria (actinomycetoma), the latter being the most common in America and Asia. Nocardia brasiliensis is the most important causal agent of actinomycetoma in the Americas. Taxonomic problems have been reported when identifying this species, so this study aimed to detect the 16S rRNA gene variations in N. brasiliensis strains using an in silico enzymatic restriction technique. The study included strains from clinical cases of actinomycetoma in Mexico, isolated from humans and previously identified as N. brasiliensis by traditional methods. The strains were characterized microscopically and macroscopically, then subjected to DNA extraction and amplification of the 16S rRNA gene by PCR. The amplification products were sequenced, and consensus sequences were constructed and used for genetic identification and in silico restriction enzyme analysis with the New England BioLabs® NEBcutter program. All study strains were molecularly identified as N. brasiliensis; however, in silico restriction analysis detected a diversity in the restriction patterns that were finally grouped and subclassified into 7 ribotypes. This finding confirms the existence of subgroups within N. brasiliensis. The results support the need to consider N. brasiliensis as a complex species.

ABSTRACT The landscape of surgical training is rapidly evolving with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into education and simulation. This manuscript aims to explore the potential applications and benefits of AI-assisted surgical training, particularly the use of large language models (LLMs), in enhancing communication, personalizing feedback, and promoting skill development. We discuss the advancements in simulation-based training, AI-driven assessment tools, video-based assessment systems, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) platforms, and the potential role of LLMs in the transcription, translation, and summarization of feedback. Despite the promising opportunities presented by AI integration, several challenges must be addressed, including accuracy and reliability, ethical and privacy concerns, bias in AI models, integration with existing training systems, and training and adoption of AI-assisted tools. By proactively addressing these challenges and harnessing the potential of AI, the future of surgical training may be reshaped to provide a more comprehensive, safe, and effective learning experience for trainees, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. .

RESUMO O cenário do treinamento cirúrgico está evoluindo rapidamente com o surgimento da inteligência artificial (IA) e sua integração na educação e simulação. Este artigo explora as aplicações e benefícios potenciais do treinamento cirúrgico assistido por IA, em particular o uso de modelos de linguagem avançados (MLAs), para aprimorar a comunicação, personalizar o feedback e promover o desenvolvimento de habilidades. Discutimos os avanços no treinamento baseado em simulação, ferramentas de avaliação impulsionadas por IA, sistemas de avaliação baseados em vídeo, plataformas de realidade virtual (RV) e realidade aumentada (RA), e o papel potencial dos MLAs na transcrição, tradução e resumo do feedback. Apesar das oportunidades promissoras apresentadas pela integração da IA, vários desafios devem ser abordados, incluindo precisão e confiabilidade, preocupações éticas e de privacidade, viés nos modelos de IA, integração com os sistemas de treinamento existentes, e treinamento e adoção de ferramentas assistidas por IA. Ao abordar proativamente esses desafios e aproveitar o potencial da IA, o futuro do treinamento cirúrgico pode ser remodelado para proporcionar uma experiência de aprendizado mais abrangente, segura e eficaz para os aprendizes, resultando em melhores resultados para os pacientes.

Selecting correctly a composite resin and planning the stratification sequence will improve the adaptation of the composite resin masses and will control the polymerization shrinkage stress. In the following clinical case report, the step- by-step protocol of the combined use of an high-refractive-index enamel-like composite resin is shown for the restoration of lost marginal ridges and the occlusal surface, together with a low viscosity Bulk-Fill composite resin for dentine reconstruction in a highly damaged posterior tooth.

The article analyzes the perceived challenges and strategies implemented in five Latin American and Caribbean countries to ensure continuity of care and access to health services for women, newborns, children, and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study corresponds to a quick assessment based on semi-structured interviews with key informants in countries selected by convenience: Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Grenada, and the Dominican Republic. Interviews were conducted with 23 key informants: (a) decision makers at the national and/or subnational level, (b) healthcare professionals, and (c) representatives of civil society organizations; from December 2020 to January 2021. Among the findings, at the beginning of the pandemic, priority was given to the COVID-19 care, with measures to limit the flow of people to health facilities in the countries involved, closing or limiting outpatient visits and restricting care schedule. For women, this affected family planning services and access to contraceptive methods, implying a reduction in prenatal check-ups. As a result of this deinstitutionalization of care, among newborns, a decrease in pediatric check-ups, a decrease in timely immunization and late detection of pathologies or growth problems were reported. Among adolescents, a strong restriction of family planning services, the limitation of other friendly counseling spaces and difficulties in accessing contraceptives were observed.

O estudo é uma avaliação rápida baseada em entrevistas semiestruturadas com informantes-chave em países selecionados por conveniência: Colômbia, Equador, Guatemala, Granada e República Dominicana. Foram realizadas entrevistas com 23 informantes-chave: (a) tomadores de decisão em nível nacional e/ou subnacional, (b) prestadores de serviços de saúde e (c) representantes de organizações da sociedade civil; durante dezembro de 2020 e janeiro de 2021. Entre as conclusões encontrou-se que, no início da pandemia, foi dada prioridade à COVID-19, com medidas para limitar o fluxo de pessoas às instalações de saúde nos países envolvidos, fechando ou limitando as consultas ambulatoriais e restringindo o horário de atendimento. Para as mulheres, a medida impactou os serviços de planejamento familiar e o acesso à contracepção, significando uma redução nos check-ups pré-natais. Como resultado desta desinstitucionalização dos cuidados, uma diminuição dos check-ups pediátricos, uma diminuição das vacinações no período correto e uma detecção tardia de patologias ou problemas de crescimento foram relatados entre os/as recém-nascidos/as. Entre os adolescentes, foi observada uma restrição severa dos serviços de planejamento familiar, a limitação de acesso a espaços de aconselhamento amigável e dificuldades de acesso a contraceptivos.

Abstract Objective: To present the status of the information on the consumption of synthetic antioxidants in ultra-processed foods in Mexico, depending on the products of the basic basket. Methodology: The foods available packaged or canned, that comprise the basic Mexican basket, from convenience stores and miscellaneous representative of the 125 municipalities of the state of Mexico were selected. The information on the content and concentration of synthetic antioxidants was recorded (AS) butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), butylhydroxytoluene (BHT) and tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), subsequently the foods were classified under the NOVA system. Results: 53 food products derived from the basic Mexican basket were found that are marketed packaged or canned, 71% mentioned the type of antioxidant used and only 18% the concentration. According to the NOVA classification, more than 73% of the foods belong to classification 4 of ultra-processed products, of which only 11 report the synthetic antioxidant used, none mention the concentration. Limitations: There is no information on the content and concentration of the antioxidant used on the Nutrition Facts label. Conclusions: Only 18% of the analyzed products report the concentration of the synthetic antioxidant used, consequently the acceptable daily intake can be underestimated. More research is needed on dietary exposure to AS in Mexicans.

Se registró la información del contenido y concentración de los antioxidantes sintéticos (AS) butilhidroxianisol (BHA), butilhidroxitolueno (BHT) y terbutilhidroquinona (TBHQ), posteriormente los alimentos se clasificaron bajo el sistema NOVA. Resultados: Se encontraron 53 productos alimenticios derivados de la canasta básica mexicana que son comercializados envasados o enlatados, el 71% menciona el tipo de antioxidante utilizado y solo el 18% la concentración. De acuerdo con la clasificación NOVA, más del 73% de los alimentos pertenecen a la clasificación cuatro de productos ultraprocesados, de los cuales solo once reportan el antioxidante sintético utilizado, ninguno menciona la concentración. Limitaciones: Se carece de información del contenido y concentración del antioxidante utilizado en la etiqueta de información nutricional. Conclusiones: Solo el 18% de los productos analizados informa la concentración del antioxidante sintético utilizado, consecuentemente la ingestión diaria admisible puede ser subestimada. Es necesario realizar más investigaciones sobre la exposición dietética a AS en los mexicanos.

Resumen Objetivo. Reconstruir las teorías subjetivas de profesionales en trabajo social y psicología sobre la disciplina parental. Método. Es una investigación cualitativa con diseño descriptivo. Se realizaron entrevistas individuales a siete profesionales en trabajo social y siete en psicología de la cuarta región de Chile. El análisis de datos utilizó codificaciones mediante el software ATLAS.ti. Resultados. Se demostró que los consejos de disciplina parental se conforman por la formación profesional de pre y posgrado, la experiencia laboral en programas con familias y elementos personales relacionados con historia de vida y parentalidad. Es así que los consejos se basan principalmente en teorías subjetivas y profesionales que se relacionan con teorías formales. Se observan diferencias en los consejos que entregan ambas profesiones.

Resumen Se caracterizan y analizan los parámetros de la fuente sísmica del sismo ocurrido el 27 de julio de 2018 a las 17:50:46 (hora UTC) en San Gabriel de Aserrí (latitud 9,788, longitud -84,101). Este tuvo una profundidad de 15 km y magnitud Ml 4,6. La distribución de la sismicidad localizada y solución de mecanismo focal (MF) indican que probablemente el evento ocurrió en una falla de corrimiento lateral derecho, con componente normal pequeña y rumbo NNW, alto ángulo de buzamiento ~77° e inclinación hacia el NE (strike 326°/dip 77°/rake -165°). Este MF concuerda con otros localizados en el área, el cual evidencia deformación transtensional en el antearco central del país, conocido como el Cinturón Deformado del Centro de Costa Rica (CDCCR). Registros de aceleración en las estaciones sísmicas (%g), permitieron identificar en la escala de Intensidad Modificada de Mercalli (IMM) intensidades instrumentales máximas de IV en comunidades como San Gabriel de Aserrí, San Pablo de León Cortés y San Marcos de Tarrazú.

Abstract In this research the seismic source parameters of the earthquake that occurred on July 27, 2018, at 17:50:46 (UTC time) in San Gabriel de Aserrí (latitude 9.788, longitude -84.101) are characterized and analyzed. The parameters show that the event had a depth of 15 km and Ml 4.6. The distribution of localized seismicity and a focal mechanism solution indicates that it probably occurred on a right-lateral strike-slip fault with a small normal component, strike NNW, high dip angle ~77°, dipping to the NE (strike 326 ° /dip 77 ° /slip -165°). The focal mechanism is consistent with those of previous seismicity located in the area and they indicate transtensional deformation in the central forearc of the country, known as the Central Costa Rica Deformed Belt. The instrumental intensities, obtained from the acceleration (% g) recorded in the seismic stations, allowed to identify in the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale (MMI) maximum instrumental intensities of IV in communities such as San Gabriel de Aserrí, San Pablo de León Cortés, and San Marcos de Tarrazú.

Abstract Coleoptera is one of the most diverse orders on the planet, and Colombia one of the most biodiverse countries. The combination of these two factors determines with no discussion a high concentration of species, with only partially known consequences in the country. In this work we describe the current state of knowledge about the diversity of coleopterans in Colombia, highlighting the role of entomological collections and the knowledge gaps to tackle the national beetle fauna. This contribution is a starting point for coleopterologists of Colombia to begin working together towards a broader and less fragmented knowledge of the natural history, systematics, ecology, and biogeography of the group.

Resumen Coleoptera es uno de los órdenes más diversos en el planeta y Colombia es uno de los países con mayor biodiversidad. La combinación de estos dos factores determina indiscutiblemente una elevada concentración de especies, cuyas consecuencias sólo se conocen parcialmente en el país. En este trabajo se presenta un ensayo sobre la diversidad de coleópteros en Colombia, resaltando el papel de las colecciones entomológicas y los vacíos de información a la hora de abordar la coleóptero-fauna nacional. Esta contribución constituye un punto de partida para que los coleopterólogos de Colombia comencemos a trabajar colectivamente hacia un conocimiento más amplio y menos fragmentado sobre la historia natural, sistemática, ecología y biogeografía del grupo.
