The purpose of this article is to problematize the existence of a possible Ibero-American informational thinking. It was initially observed that a relative absence of Ibero-America in the international presentations and mappings of information science exists. Below, the reality of the 22 countries that compose Ibero-America is discussed, a region that can be understood from a sociocultural and geopolitical perspective. Then, a mapping of the information science research in these countries is made. The main research topics found are: epistemological studies, relationships with library science, information literacy, representation and organization, bibliometric studies, information management, user studies, technological dimensions, and relationships with archival science and museum studies. Finally, a general epistemological configuration of information science is presented at a global level, highlighting the great trends of study of information that marked the decades of the 1960s and 1970s (physical model), 1980s and 1990s (cognitive model), and the 21st century (sociocultural model), and which manifested themselves in the different subareas that make up the field. The most recent research in information science, in addition to addressing information transfer (physical dimension) and its relationship with data and knowledge (cognitive dimension), has also incorporated aspects related to the social effects of information, its role in the constitution of identities and culture, and the importance of its material conformations. Such expansion reflects attempts to address the complexity of informational phenomena. Therefore, it is concluded that it is important to place the specific contributions of Ibero-America in this context.

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been established as the surgical approach of choice for lobectomy in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with clinical stage I NSCLC with no lymph node metastasis are considered candidates for VATS lobectomy. To rule out the presence of metastasis to lymph nodes or distant organs, patients should undergo meticulous clinical staging. Assessing patients' functional status is required to ensure that there are no medical contraindications, such as impaired pulmonary function or cardiac comorbidities. Although various combinations of the number, size, and location of ports are available, finding the best method of port placement for each surgeon is fundamental to maximize the efficiency of the surgical procedure. When conducting VATS lobectomy, it is always necessary to comply with the following oncological principles: (1) the vessels and bronchus of the target lobe should be individually divided, (2) systematic lymph node dissection is mandatory, and (3) touching the lymph node itself and rupturing the capsule of the lymph node should be minimized. Most surgeons conduct the procedure in the following sequence: (1) dissection along the hilar structure, (2) fissure division, (3) perivascular and peribronchial dissection, (4) individual division of the vessels and bronchus, (5) specimen retrieval, and (6) mediastinal lymph node dissection. Surgeons should obtain experience in enhancing the exposure of the dissection target and facilitating dissection. This review article provides the basic principles of the surgical techniques and practical maneuvers for performing VATS lobectomy easily, safely, and efficiently.

본 논문에서는 급격한 감쇄율 특성을 갖는 독창적인 초광대역(UWB: Ultra Wideband) 스트립라인 대역 통과 여파기(BPF)를 소개한다. 초광대역의 특성은 기본적으로 "+"자 공진기와 주 전송 선로간의 용량성 결합으로부터 얻어진다. "+" 자 공진기는 ${\lambda}/2$의 전송 선로의 중심에 두 개의 스터브를 병렬 연결된 구조를 가진다. 하나는 ${\lambda}/8$ 단락 회로 스터브로 ${\lambda}/2$ 전송 선로의 상측에 연결되고, 다른 하나는 ${\lambda}/8$ 개방 회로 스터브로 ${\lambda}/2$ 전송 선로의 하측에 연결된다. 이 두 개의 스터브들은 통과 대역의 하단과 상단의 차단주파수에서 두 개의 감쇄극을 제공한다. "+" 자 공진기 상측에 위치하여 용량성 결합을 이루는 주 전송 선로는 입력과 출력 선로에 또 한 번의 ${\lambda}/4$ 길이의 용량성 결합을 하여 통과 대역 하부과 상부의 저지 대역에서 원하지 않는 신호를 억압하기 위해 구성하였다. 본 여파기는 미국에서 허가한 초광대역(3.1~10.6 GHz)의 대역에서 선택도가 우수한 대역 통과 특성을 얻기 위해 2.4 GHz와 11.1 GHz에서 81 dB/GHz와 86 dB/GHz의 기울기를 제공하는 두 개의 전송 영점(감쇄극)을 갖도록 설계되었다. 본 여파기는 유전상수 7.8을 갖는 저온 동시 소성 세라믹(LTCC) 그린테이프로 제작되었다. 측정 결과는 HFSS 해석 결과와 거의 일치하였다. 통과 대역에서 0.7 dB 이하의 삽입 손실과 14 dB 이상의 반사 손실이 측정되었다. 중심 주파수 군 위상 지연은 0.27 ns이고, 통과 대역에서 군 위상 지연의 변화량은 0.5 ns 이하이다. 본 여파기의 크기는 $6{\times}18{\times}0.6\;mm^3$이다.

본 논문에서는 이기종망에서 글로벌 끊김 없는 핸드오버를 지원하기 위한 P2P (Peer-to-Peer) 기반 이동성 관리 프로토콜을 제시한다. IETF MIPv4/v6와 이를 확장한 이동성 관리 프로토콜과 같은 기존의 이동성 관리 프로토콜과는 달리, 제안된 프로토콜은 기존의 네트워크 인프라구조의 변경 없이 글로벌 끊김없는 핸드오버를 지원할 수 있다. 제안된 프로토콜의 아이디어는 이동성 관리를 위한 위치관리 기능은 패킷 전달 기능과 분리하였고, 패킷 전송을 위한 양방향 IP 터널링은 종단의 이동단말들 간에 동적으로 생성하는 것이다. 추가적으로, 핸드오버 도중에 발생하는 큰 핸드오버 지연시간 및 많은 패킷 손실을 줄이기 위해 IEEE 802.21 MIH (Media Independent Handover) 기능을 이용한 조기 핸드오버 기술을 개발하였다. 이를 위한 상세구조와 핸드오버 프로토콜을 설계하였고, 제안된 이동성 관리 프로토콜에 대한 성능분석을 위해, 수학적인 분석 및 네트워크 시뮬레이터를 이용한 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 핸드오버 지연시간 및 패킷 손실의 성능 면에서 제안된 이동성 관리 프로토콜은 기존의 IETF MIPv6와 HMIPv6에 비해 상당히 줄임을 입증하였다.

Casticin (3', 5-dihydroxy-3, 4', 6, 7-tetramethoxyflavone) is an active compound isolated from roots, stems, leaves, fruits and seeds of a variety of plants. It is well known for its pharmacological properties and has been utilized as an anti-hyperprolactinemia, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotetective, analgesic and immunomodulatory agent. Recently, the anticancer activity of casticin has been extensively investigated. The resulkts showed that it exerts protective potential by targeting apoptosis, considered important for cancer therapies. In this article, our aim was to review the pharmacological and therapeutic applications of casticin with specific emphasis on its anticancer functions and related molecular mechanisms. Chemotherapeutic effects are dependent on multiple molecular pathways, which may provide a new perspective of casticin as a candidate anti-neoplastic drug. This review suggests that additional studies and preclinical trials are required to determine specific intracellular sites of action and derivative targets in order to fully understand the mechanisms of its antitumor activity and validate this compound as a medicinal agent for the prevention and treatment of various cancers.

Objectives: The established theory that breast density is an independent predictor of breast cancer risk is based on studies targeting white women in the West. More Asian women than Western women have dense breasts, but the incidence of breast cancer is lower among Asian women. This meta-analysis investigated the association between breast density in mammography and breast cancer risk in Asian women. Methods: PubMed and Scopus were searched, and the final date of publication was set as December 31, 2015. The effect size in each article was calculated using the interval-collapse method. Summary effect sizes (sESs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by conducting a meta-analysis applying a random effect model. To investigate the dose-response relationship, random effect dose-response meta-regression (RE-DRMR) was conducted. Results: Six analytical epidemiology studies in total were selected, including one cohort study and five case-control studies. A total of 17 datasets were constructed by type of breast density index and menopausal status. In analyzing the subgroups of premenopausal vs. postmenopausal women, the percent density (PD) index was confirmed to be associated with a significantly elevated risk for breast cancer (sES, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.52 to 3.21; $I^2=50.0%$). The RE-DRMR results showed that the risk of breast cancer increased 1.73 times for each 25% increase in PD in postmenopausal women (95% CI, 1.20 to 2.47). Conclusions: In Asian women, breast cancer risk increased with breast density measured using the PD index, regardless of menopausal status. We propose the further development of a breast cancer risk prediction model based on the application of PD in Asian women.

For the implementation of innovative products or services companies use different innovation strategies, in particular, outsourcing is quite widespread, given the high level of specialization and professionalism of companies that provide such services. The aim of this article was to evaluate the link between outsourcing of innovative activities and indicators of companies' efficiency. The methodology of the research includes the methods of correlation analysis and regression analysis to reveal the correlation between the use of outsourcing of innovative products and services and the turnover of the EU enterprises. The results show a high level of innovative activity of EU enterprises (50.3% innovatively active). Innovative business processes are the most widespread form of innovation activity (41% of enterprises implement business processes, and the indicator is higher than 41% in the most developed EU countries). The turnover of enterprises with new or substantially improved products was found to grow by 10.92% for the period 2016-2018. The correlation analysis shows weak direct links between the indicator of turnover growth and the number of enterprises that have independently implemented innovations, or have implemented innovations jointly with third-party companies, or using outsourcing services. The highest level of direct connection was found between the growth of turnover of enterprises that launched a new product for the market and the growth of the number of enterprises that implemented innovations with the involvement of organizations (correlation 0.273). Based on the regression analysis it was found that with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of innovation-active enterprises, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products increased by 5.67%. At the same time, with a 1% change in the growth rate of the number of enterprises that implement innovation through outsourcing, the growth rate of turnover from new or improved products will increase by 7.15%.
