Dear Editor-in-Chief: Despite extensive efforts to control the disease implemented since several decades, Chagas dis-ease remains one of the biggest public health problems in Latin America, where it is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (1). Globally, more than 6 million people have Chagas disease and 7 thousand persons die from it (2). In Colombia, an estimated 437, 960 persons are chronically infect-ed with T. cruzi, although many people with the disease are not diagnosed (3).

Cooling energy storage systems can be used, coupled with conventional building cooling systems. purpose of the study was to examine the performance of the cooling energy storage system (CESS) in partial storage mode (PSM). Objective functions were considered as the exergy efficiency and the total cost rate. The multi-objective technique in MOPSO and SEAP2 algorithms were used to optimize the objective functions. The results obtained from the multi-objective analysis indicated a difference in the optimal value of designing points relative to single-objective optimization, objective function 1 (exergy efficiency), and objective function 2 (total costs). The maximum exergy efficiency for the multi-objective mode in PSM was 39.12%, and the minimum total cost for the multi-objective mode in PSM was $ 1,152 × 105. Additionally, a study on the model showed that by using ice thermal energy storage (ITES), electricity consumption reduced by 11.83% in PSM. Furthermore, because of the transfer of cooling load from peak hours to low consumption hours and reduction of power consumption by 35.12%, there is a reduction in functional costs in PSM compared to a traditional air conditioning system. The results showed that the payback period for an ITES system in PSM is 3.43 years. Ultimately, one has to note that using the ITES system reduces co2 production, leading to a reduction in environmental pollution. Additionally, PCMs used in the construction industry have been introduced and compared with each other in terms of exergy efficiency. The results show that magnesium nitrate hexahydrate reaches the highest oxygen efficiency.

The paper presents analysis of two-dimensional non-Newtonian incompressible viscous flow between parallel plates. The governing problem of momentum equations are reduced to NODE using similarity transformations. The resulting equation is solved using series solution and homotopy analysis method. These methods have advantages over pure numerical methods for obtaining the derived quantities accurately for various values of parameters and results are valid in much larger parameter domain compared with numerical schemes.

Telemedicine, or the use of technology to pro-vide remote medical care, has the potential to revolutionize the method of delivering health-care services, particularly in areas where ac-CESS to medical care is limited [1]. Currently, telemedicine systems are gaining popularity in the world, each of which has its own ad-vantages and disadvantages (Table-1). We have tried to point out the most important ad-vantages and problems of these systems and specify the possible solutions...

Despite growing interest in corrective exercise (CE), many professionals neglect the foundational principles. Also, the sources have not fully covered the fundamental principles of CE, underscoring the need for review and consolidation of CE principles. In this article, the most crucial CE principles that CE specialists (CESS) must consider are briefly discussed, including periodization, preparation, rest, skill, individualization, specific adaptation to imposed demands (SAID), progression, regression, optimization, integration, monitoring, interference, reversibility, and variation. After a comprehensive postural assessment, a CES must establish goals and develop a well-designed plan to achieve them.

The present study models the risk of investment in the petrochemical industry considering the impacts of exchange rate (US dollar to Iran's Rial) movements using the time series data from November 2008 to March 2019 and ARFIMAFIGARCH framework. The empirical results prove the existence of the Fractal Market Hypothesis, FMH, and the Long Memory property in both the risk and return of the petrochemical stock index. These findings can be culminated in reaching a reliable and significant model to evaluate the investment risk in the petrochemical industry. In line with this, to analyse the idea whether consider-ing the exchange rate movements matter for assessing the risk management in the petrochemical industry, the effects of exchange rate movements as a crucial source of systematic risk in Iran has been taken into consideration in the pro-CESS of modelling the risk of investment in that industry. Our results demon-strate that the exchange rate movements have had a direct and significant ef-fect on the investment risk of that industry so that if, on average, one percent change occurs in the exchange rate, the investment risk in this industry changes by 57% in the same direction.
