Proposal for academic evaluation at the School of Mining Engineering due to the Covid-19 effect
Authors: Feijoo Calle Ernesto Patricio
Published: November 2021

This research proposes an alternative to the academic evaluation system, in the School of Engineering in Mines, of the University of Azuay (Ecuador), due to the Covid-19 pandemic, declared in 2020 by the WHO. Initially, a system was established, in which two components are established -contribution and final-, based on a rating of 50 points. The first component, over 30 points, qualifies aspects of attendance, compliance and performance. The final component, over 20 points, establishes an asynchronous evaluation, in which the teacher applies various assessment instruments and finally a synchronous evaluation. After two periods with this system, the research was carried out with a universe of 90 students, based on surveys, focus groups and using matrices, boolean algebra and sets, changes were proposed in the way of evaluating. The results are interesting and involve a pedagogical mediation, so it must be considered in the corresponding entities.

Keywords: Evaluation, qualification, mining, pandemic.

Authors: Acosta Diego , Horna Maira , Caiza Cristina
Published: November 2021

Crowdfunding and its impact on entrepreneurship in the city of Ambato are studied, according to several authors the variables are associated quite well when undertaking an idea and seeking financing. Within this process, the advantages and disadvantages of using crowdfunding are highlighted, as well as the process to undertake and finance projects. The results express that there is still the wrong thinking that financing is a limitation to undertake and they do not look for options in the market that can satisfy their needs. The results to entrepreneurs show that there is ignorance about crowdfunding but there is a real interest in learning about the subject and using it; also that the first financing option is banking. Finally, through the chi square the hypothesis is verified, accepting that crowdfunding does impact the enterprises of the city of Ambato.

Ghanaian students' ideas about force and friction
Authors: Otuka J.O. E , Anamuah-Mensah J. , Thompson A.
Published: November 2021

This study was conducted to identify the misconceptions Ghanaian Secondary School students have about force and friction. The questionnaire was administered to 90 science and 60 non-science students. The respondents were stratified samples from the first, second and third year students of Mfantsipim Secondary School in the Central Region of Ghana. Graphical analyses of the correct scores were used to identify the existence of and the extent to which the alternate ideas persist anwng the students. The study revealed that students believe (i) that force implied motion and vice versa, (Ii) that continuous motion of a body without an extemal force is due to the fact that force can be transferred, (iii) that friction is force which always opposes motion. They could, however, not conceive how friction could promote any type of motion (e.g. rotation). These misconceptions were found persisting among all the students, irrespective or age, class or programme of study. The paper makes recommendations for management of teaching and review of textual materials for students development of new teaching strategies and future research.
Caracterización del sistema sensorial de dos componentes de Staphylococcus aureus
Authors:   , Rapún Araiz Beatriz
Published: November 2021

En este trabajo de tesis hemos evaluado dos aproximaciones diferentes dedicadas a la búsqueda de fármacos que tengan como diana de acción los TCSs. Por un lado, dentro del proyecto 'Nuevas estrategias para el control de infecciones nosocomiales (RTC-2015-3184-1) hemos participado en la evaluación de una colección de fármacos aprobados por la FDA (colección Prestwick) para distintas patologías como posibles agentes antimicrobianos frente a S. aureus. El objetivo era reconvertir alguno de estos fármacos (repurposing) y que además de utilizarse para la finalidad para la que fue descrito, también actuara como antimicrobiano. En el caso concreto de nuestro estudio, el escrutinio se hizo frente al TCS GraRS. La segunda estrategia, recogida en el cuarto capítulo de esta tesis, ha consistido en el desarrollo de dos terapias alternativas frente a S. aureus basadas en inmunoterapias: anticuerpos monoclonales y nanoanticuerpos. Para ello, hemos elegido como diana de acción la HK del TCS esencial WalKR, en particular los anticuerpos se han generado frente al dominio de unión a ligando (ligand-bindig domain, LBD) de la HK. La elección de esta diana se debe a dos razones, por un lado, se trata del único TCS esencial de S. aureus y, por otro lado, ensayos realizados con sueros de pacientes infectados por S. aureus mostraron la presencia de anticuerpos frente a este dominio. A lo largo de la tesis hemos producido anticuerpos monoclonales y nanoanticuerpos frente a diferentes epítopos del LBD. Hemos realizado diferentes ensayos para probar el reconocimiento de la proteína tanto in vitro como in vivo y para analizar el efecto de los anticuerpos en el crecimiento de S. aureus. Los ensayos preliminares indican que varios de los nanoanticuerpos desarrollados activan el crecimiento de la bacteria en lugar de reducir su crecimiento. Este resultado, aunque inesperado, indica que es posible desarrollar nanoanticuerpos capaces de afectar la funcionalidad de la HK y por tanto de bloquear su actividad.
Operones no-contiguos: una nueva estrategia para coordinar la expresión de genes en bacterias
Authors:   , Sáenz Lahoya Sonia
Published: November 2021

En esta tesis demostramos la existencia de un nivel superior de organización en la estructura del operón que denominamos operón no-contiguo y que consiste en un operón que contiene un gen o genes que se transcriben en la dirección opuesta al resto del operón. Esta nueva arquitectura de transcripción está ejemplificada por los genes menE-menC-MW1733-ytkD-MW1731 que están implicados en la síntesis de menaquinona en Staphylococcus aureus. Nuestros resultados indican que los genes menE-menC-ytkD-MW1731 se transcriben como una unidad de transcripción, mientras el gen MW1733, ubicado entre menC e ytkD, se transcribe en dirección opuesta. Esta organización genética genera transcritos solapantes cuya expresión está regulada a través del procesamiento mediado por RNasa III y por un mecanismo de interferencia transcripcional. El operón menE-menC-MW1733-ytkD-MW1731 es necesario para la síntesis de menaquinona, un intermediario de la cadena transportadora que tiene por función ceder los electrones a los citocromos. La sobreexpresión de MW1733 es capaz de reducir los niveles de menE-menC y en consecuencia la síntesis de menaquinona reduciendo la velocidad de crecimiento de la bacteria y produciendo colonias de tamaño muy pequeño, que se denominan Small Colony Variants (SCV). El fenotipo SCV es característico de aislados clínicos de S. aureus procedentes de infecciones persistentes y es un fenotipo que revierte cuando las bacterias se crecen en el laboratorio. Nuestros resultados indican que la arquitectura de transcripción del operón menE-menC‑MW1733-ytkD-MW1731 podría explicar la variación de fase característico del fenotipo SCV.

Published: November 2021

El objetivo de este estudio es abordar el cambio en las relaciones administrativas y jurídicas, lo que lleva a la necesidad de utilizar nuevas herramientas y crear nuevas categorías que se adapten a la evolución de la administracion pública. Sin duda, la dignidad humana debe ser el centro sobre el que se construya la discrecionalidad de la administración pública, com el fin de evitar arbitrad. La acción del Estado, por tanto, encuentra límites derivados de los derechos humanos, hecho que hace necesario que la administración pública obedezca no sólo a parámetros constitucionales, sino también a parámetros convencionales. En este sentido este trabajo buscará abrir una nueva perspectiva de conformación de acciones administrativas con control simultáneo de constitucionalidad y convencionalidad, estudiando la forma en que funcionan estas interrelaciones para encontrar los mejores resultados en las decisiones administrativas.
Quantum Computers: A Review on its Working Mechanism, Uses and Developments
Authors: R. M Shrikara , C. V Raghavendra. , Koddaddi Manila S
Published: November 2021

Over the past several decades, quantum information science has emerged to seek answers to the question: can we gain some advantage by storing, transmitting and processing information encoded in systems that exhibit unique quantum properties? Today it is understood that the answer is yes, and many research groups around the world are working towards the highly ambitious technological goal of building a quantum computer, which would dramatically improve computational power for particular tasks. A number of physical systems, spanning much of modern physics, are being developed for quantum computation. However, it remains unclear which technology, if any, will ultimately prove successful. Here we describe the latest developments for each of the leading approaches and explain the major challenges for the future. This review outlines the principles of operation of quantum computers and their elements. The theory of ideal computers that do not interact with the environment and are immune to quantum decohering processes is presented. Decohering processes in quantum computers are investigated. The review considers methods for correcting quantum computing errors arising from the decoherence of the state of the quantum computer, as well as possible methods for the suppression of the decohering processes. A brief enumeration of proposed quantum computer realizations concludes the review.
Occupational Science Concepts Essential to Occupation-Based Practice: Development of Expert Consensus
Authors: Backman Catherine L. , Christiansen Charles H. , Hooper Barbara R. , Pierce Doris , Price M. Pollie
Published: November 2021

Importance: What occupational science (OS) knowledge may be essential to occupational therapy practice has not been systematically explored.

Objective: To identify and gain expert consensus on OS concepts viewed as essential to occupational therapy practice.

Design: A complex, convergent mixed-methods Delphi design with an international panel of OS experts randomly assigned to two parallel groups. In Round 1, each group generated OS concepts; in Rounds 2 and 3, they rated the degree to which each concept was essential to occupational therapy. Data were analyzed separately for each group. A fourth round combined the two groups and used carefully merged concept definitions from both groups to validate consensus on essential concepts arising from the prior rounds.

Participants: Fifty-two nominated experts from 22 countries who met a priori criteria participated in the 14-mo study.

Results: Of 62 experts invited, 52 (Group A = 24, Group B = 28) participated in the first round, and 42 (81%) completed the full-group final round. Eleven concepts met the consensus threshold (≥70%) established for the study. Additional analysis compared parallel- and full-group results to carefully discern conceptual similarities and differences, especially with near-consensus concepts.

Conclusions and Relevance: Substantial expert agreement was established for several OS concepts viewed as essential, providing a basis for future studies to refine the concepts for occupational therapy education and practice.

What This Article Adds: The results of this research provide a systematically derived preliminary basis for selecting OS content for occupational therapy educational programs and preliminary concepts for organizing OS knowledge germane to occupational therapy practice.
Low performance-related physical fitness levels are associated with clustered cardiometabolic risk score in schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Filho Neri Saldanha , Reuter Cézane Priscila , Silveira João Francisco De Castro , Borfe Letícia , Renner Jane Dagmar Pollo , Pohl Hildegard Hedwig
Published: November 2021

Purpose

The study aim was to verify if there were associations between performance-related physical fitness levels and the clustered cardiometabolic risk score among children and adolescents.

Methods

The cross-sectional study involved 1200 (655 females) children and adolescents aged 7–17 years. Performancerelated physical fitness levels (upper limb strength [ULS], lower limb strength [LLS], agility, speed, and cardiorespiratory fitness [CRF]) were evaluated and categorized as healthy or unhealthy levels. Waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, glucose, and blood lipoprotein (triglycerides, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) were measured. The clustered cardiometabolic risk score constituted the sum of internationally-derived standardized values (z-scores) for each risk factor divided by 5. Associations between performance-related physical fitness levels and the clustered cardiometabolic risk score were determined with linear regression models.

Results

Participants with healthy ULS levels exhibited a less favourable clustered cardiometabolic risk score, whereas healthy levels of LLS, agility (only in girls), and CRF (only in boys) were related with a more favourable clustered cardiometabolic risk score. ULS (β: –0.091 [95% CI: –0.120; –0.062]), LLS (β: –0.272 [95% CI: –0.368; –0.177]), and CRF (β: –0.218 [95% CI: –0.324; –0.112]) were inversely associated with the clustered cardiometabolic risk score, while agility (β: 0.112 [95% CI: 0.082; 0.142]) and speed (β: 0.079 [95% CI: 0.039; 0.119]) demonstrated a positive association with the clustered cardiometabolic risk score.

Conclusions

Our results emphasize the importance of following moderate-to-vigorous physical activity guidelines to better develop physical fitness levels for the maintenance of cardiometabolic health during childhood and adolescence.

Published: November 2021

Introduction

Kinesio taping is one of the commonly used treatment modalities in rehabilitation. When applied appropriately, it may improve muscle strength and performance. This study aimed to determine the immediate and short-term effect of 35% tension Kinesio taping on handgrip strength in healthy females.

Methods

Overall, 60 healthy female subjects aged 19–30 years were randomly assigned to 2 groups: the tension Kinesio taping group, who received taping with 35% tension, and the control group, who received the same taping technique but with no tension. A hand-held dynamometer was used to measure handgrip strength in all participants. The measurements were taken before taping, as well as at 30 minutes and 24 and 48 hours of taping.

Results

Handgrip strength significantly improved in both groups after taping (p < 0.05). Comparing with the control group, the tension Kinesio taping group demonstrated more significant results at 30 minutes and 24 and 48 hours (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Taping with 35% tension produces an immediate and short-term increase in handgrip strength in healthy females.
Correlation of foot posture with balance and pelvic tilt in healthy runners
Authors: Pradhan Deepak Kumar , Korada Hrishikesh Yadav , Kumar Siva , Salma Anisha
Published: November 2021

Introduction

The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship of hyper-pronated foot with anterior pelvic tilt and dynamic balance in recreational runners. Hyper-pronated foot is a functional deformity which mainly affects the total body kinematic chain during dynamic weight-bearing events such as running when the foot lands on the ground. Furthermore, individuals with hyper-pronated foot may exhibit anterior pelvic tilt owing to the biomechanical relations, which alters balance as well. Runners with hyper-pronated feet are at high risk of injury, possibly because of larger torque generated at the lower limb.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted in 55 healthy recreational runners with hyper-pronated foot aged 19–30 years. They were assessed by foot posture index for hyper-pronated foot, Star Excursion Balance Test for dynamic balance evaluation, and the photogrammetry method to determine the anterior pelvic tilt angle.

Results

The results revealed a poor correlation between foot posture index and dynamic body balance (r = 0.23) and a moderate correlation between foot posture index and anterior pelvic tilt angle (r = 0.47).

Conclusions

There was no significant correlation of foot posture index with dynamic body balance, whereas a minimal correlation was found between foot posture index and the anterior pelvic tilt angle. Therefore, hyper-pronated foot does not significantly directly influence balance or posture.

Cubiertas de losas de piedra. Dos restauraciones recientes en la comarca del Alto Gállego, Huesca
Authors: García Mainar Jesús
Published: November 2021

Este artículo nos acerca a dos recientes restauraciones llevadas a cabo al norte de la provincia de Huesca, en España, en dos pequeños edificios de arquitectura popular y local, cuyas cubiertas han sido realizadas utilizando losas de piedra como material de cubrición. Ambos edificios, de uso colectivo, un lavadero y un horno de pan, fueron construidos en su momento para cubrir unas necesidades básicas relacionadas con la alimentación, la salud y la limpieza personal. Supusieron, por tanto, una mejora en las condiciones de vida de los habitantes del lugar y son hoy buenos ejemplos de su patrimonio construido que muestran el alto conocimiento que se tenía tradicionalmente sobre la utilización y la preparación de los materiales del entorno que resultaban más adecuados para cada función: los mampuestos y las losas de piedra, la madera y el barro.
Tres trabajos de recuperación de la tradición de la carpintería mudéjar en Andalucía
Authors: Martos Paco Luis
Published: November 2021

Propio de la península Ibérica, el arte denominado mudéjar, y, en particular, la carpintería desarrollada en esta tradición, presenta una serie de características que le confieren su carácter único. Si bien mi actividad principal consiste en el diseño y la construcción de nuevas armaduras de cubierta, en especial para casas particulares y edificios históricos, la labor que más disfruto, por el aprendizaje continuo que implica, es la restauración, la reconstrucción o la recreación de artesonados. En este texto se presenta una selección de tres de los muchos artesonados que he tenido la oportunidad de construir durante mi carrera profesional, seleccionados en este caso por su gran belleza, su singularidad y su interés constructivo.
Restauración del morabito de Sidi Abdullah Khalifa en Ouled Youssef, Oasis de Mhamid, Marruecos
Authors: Colmenares Fernández Marta , García Hermida Alejandro , Moreno Adán Carmen
Published: November 2021

El presente documento busca dar a conocer el proceso seguido a lo largo del año 2019 para la restauración del morabito de Sidi Abdullah Khalifa. El edificio está situado entre los pueblos de Ouled Yussef y Mhamid El Ghezlane, en la zona occidental del oasis de Mhamid, en la provincia de Zagora, Marruecos. Este morabito es uno de los edificios más singulares y bellos de este oasis, además de un lugar apreciado y respetado por sus habitantes. En él descansan los restos del morabito que le da nombre, Sidi Abdullah Khalifa. La metodología seguida en la intervención fue la habitual de la Asociación Terrachidia: las obras a acometer fueron acordadas con la cabila y las instituciones locales; se desarrolló una fase de documentación técnica del edificio; también en colaboración con la cabila, se seleccionaron tanto los maestros de obra como los jóvenes aprendices locales que participaron en las obras; se acometió la intervención incorporando también participantes voluntarios internacionales y utilizando los materiales, las técnicas y las formas de la tradición local; y, finalmente, se trabajó en la difusión de este patrimonio, proceso del que forma parte este artículo.
