Adrenomedullin as a Protein with Multifunctional Behavior and Effects in Various Organs and Tissues
Authors: Ozcelik Fatih , Pence Halime Hanim , Ozturkeri Hilal Yalcin , Sertoğlu Erdim
Published: April 2019

In literature, it has been reported that adrenomedullin, which is generally thought to have vasodilator, natriuretic and diuretic effects, is synthesized in almost all body, especially CNS, vascular muscles and endothelium, heart, liver, lung, kidney, gastric mocosa, intestinal endothelium and various blood cells. It has been found that the possible effects of adrenomedullin can be demonstrated directly or indirectly by means of active mediators, neuropeptides, enzymes and hormones. It is also suggested that it regulates the endocrine system by affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. It increases in heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, hypertensive conditions, cerebrovascular accessory, chronic renal failure and periodontitis and decreases in peptic ulcer and intestinal diseases. However, it is still not clear whether increase/decrease in adrenomedullin level is a cause of a disease or is a result of damage due to an illness. This peptide, which could be thought to multifunctional, should be considered as a molecule with genetic coding that may have different effects on different tissues and conditions. For all these reasons, we aimed to review the multifonctional behavior of adrenomedullin in the light of the current literature to pioneer new hypotheses and discuss possible mechanisms.

Testing and Evaluation of High Energy Portable Laser Source used as a Target Designator along with a Laser Seeker
Authors: Gogoi Tutul , Kumar Rajni , Gladwin Joshua Anand , Goyal Vivek
Published: April 2019

Precision guided munitions are often driven with the help of a special kind of laser beam, pointing onto the target of interest which can be a ground based stationary target or a moving one. The laser source which is popularly known as target designator is a key element in this and plays a vital role in performing any laser guided bombings. In this paper a testing methodology and evaluation technique is described for such a portable high energy laser source. The parameters of the designator are tested in laboratory environment as well as verified in field conditions. The measured and tested parameters are laser source energy, pulse repetition frequency, laser wavelength accuracy and pulse width. A laser guided bomb seeker is also used to test with and verify different designator parameters specially the pulse repetition frequency (PRF) in field conditions. The PRF is generally set in the seeker manually and the designators are fired onto a target for different PRFs and energy levels. If the PRF of the seeker matches with that of the designator then it locks onto the target and if different it does not. In this experiment one more designator is also fired onto a different target within the field of view of the seeker with the same parameters except the energy level. The seeker changes its position to the target having higher energy density provided pulses are within its detection window.
Histamine, histamine receptors, and anti-histamines in the context of allergic responses
Authors: Mandola Amarilla , Nozawa Asako , Eiwegger Thomas
Published: April 2019

Histamine is a bioactive amine which is considered a key player in the allergic response. Thus, histamine receptor blockers (antihistamines) play an important role in the treatment of a number atopic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and acute and chronic forms of urticaria. Histamine is produced by immune cells but also by bacteria in the gut. Beyond its role in the acute allergic response, histamine exerts numerous effects by binding to its 4 pleiotropic G-protein coupled histamine receptors. Here, we describe the roles of these histamine receptors and antihistamines in the human system, clinical applications, side effects, and novel concepts for the usage of antihistamines with different specificity based on guidelines and recommendations.

Statement of novelty: This review provides an overview of histamine receptors and links it to clinical relevance of antagonizing their action in clinical routine.
The Impact of New Drug Launches on Hospitalization in 2015 for 67 Medical Conditions in 15 OECD Countries: A Two-Way Fixed-Effects Analysis
Authors: Lichtenberg Frank R.
Published: April 2019

There are two types of prescription drug cost offsets. The first type of cost offset – from prescription drug use – is primarily about the effect of changes in drug quantity (e.g. due to changes in out-of-pocket drug costs) on other medical costs. Previous studies indicate that the cost offsets from prescription drug use may slightly exceed the cost of the drugs themselves. The second type of cost offset – the cost offset from prescription drug innovation – is primarily about the effect of prescription drug quality on other medical costs. Two previous studies (of a single disease or a single country) found that pharmaceutical innovation reduced hospitalization, and that the reduction in hospital cost from the use of newer drugs was considerably greater than the innovation-induced increase in pharmaceutical expenditure. In this study, we reexamine the impact that pharmaceutical innovation has had on hospitalization, employing a different type of 2-way fixed effects research design. In lieu of analyzing different countries over time for a single disease, or different diseases over time for a single country, we estimate the impact that new drug launches that occurred during the period 1982–2015 had on hospitalization in 2015 for 67 diseases in 15 OECD countries. Our models include both country fixed effects and disease fixed effects, which control for the average propensity of people to be hospitalized in each country and from each disease. The number of hospital discharges and days of care in 2015 is significantly inversely related to the number of drugs launched during 1982–2005, but not significantly related to the number of drugs launched after 2005. (Utilization of drugs during the first few years after they are launched is relatively low, and drugs for chronic conditions may have to be consumed for several years to achieve full effectiveness.) The estimates imply that, if no new drugs had been launched after 1981, total days of care in 2015 would have been 163% higher than it actually was. The estimated reduction in 2015 hospital expenditure that may be attributable to post-1981 drug launches was 5.3 times as large as 2015 expenditure on those drugs.
Landscape Transformations in Rapidly Developing Peri-urban Areas of Accra, Ghana: Results of 30 years
Authors: Ashiagbor George , Amoako Clifford , Asabere Stephen B. , Quaye-Ballard Jonathan A.
Published: April 2019

Beyond the loss of peri-urban agricultural and forested land as a result of built-up expansion, not much information exists on the changes in the structure of the peri-urban landscape in Ghana. The aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which urban expansion is driving changes in landscape structure of the peri-urban fringes of Accra. We submit that rapid peri-urbanisation will fragment the existing agricultural and forested landscape with consequent ecological, socio-economic and urban governance implications. Using Landsat satellite images for the years 1985, 1991, 2002 and 2015 the study area was classified into four land cover classes. The study adopted the use of Urban Intensity Index (UII) and the Annual Rate of Urbanization (R) as measures of urbanization. Edge density (ED), largest patch index (LPI) and Aggregation index (AI) were used as proxies to measure landscape structural transformations. The study reveals substantial reductions and fragmentation in agricultural lands, riverine and open forests, while there has been over 200 percent increase in built-up areas. Beyond these revelations in spatiotemporal changes in landscape structure, the paper points to the ecological implications of the changes, and three key socio-economic and urban governance implications.
Rewritten Autobiography: W. E. B. Du Bois’ Soliloquy on Viewing My Life in the German Democratic Republic
Authors: Beck Hamilton
Published: April 2019

In the late 1950s, the last major works of W.E.B. Du Bois appeared in the Soviet Union, the German Democratic Republic and other Eastern Bloc countries before they were published in the US. While Eastern Bloc countries provided welcome support for Du Bois at a time when he was effectively blacklisted in America, they found that his texts presented them with certain challenges. On the one hand, the GDR printed his English-language anthology An ABC of Color complete and without editorial interference. When it came to translating his Autobiography in the GDR and USSR, however, some chapters were dropped for reasons of space, while others were reformulated or excised to eliminate politically awkward views, religious vocabulary, and matters touching on sexuality. This essay provides a close examination of selected passages in the German and Russian translations, compares them with the English original, and argues that in making Du Bois conform to accepted views, the East German and Russian versions straight-jacketed his text.
A new route to the rapid growth of the service sector: rise of the standard of living
Authors: Takahashi Harutaka , Otsubo Kansho Piotr
Published: April 2019

In the present study, we set up a continuous-time two-sector optimal growth model with services and manufacturing goods and then examine structural change: the rapid growth of the service sector. Earlier studies of structural changes can be separated into two categories: preference-driven and technology-driven. Here we introduce a new and distinct category of structural change: consumption externality identified as rise of the living standard. A key assumption is that (1) a representative consumer has a non-homothetic Stone–Geary type utility function with respect to manufacturing goods and that (2) its subsistence level will be regarded as the standard of living and will be affected by the average consumption of manufacturing goods, which also affects the consumption level of services. We also assume that the manufacturing sector is more capital-intensive than the service sector, which takes an important role in our proofs. Results show that a steady state equilibrium exists that is globally stable as well as saddle-point stable. Then, given certain production parameters in a steady state, there exists optimal steady state where the value-added and employment shares by service sector will dominate those of the manufacturing sector under the condition that external effects of the service sector dominates capital-intensity effect of the manufacturing sector. In other words, through the transition process, the service sector will dominate the manufacturing sector in the steady state.
“Mexican, Not Latino”
Authors: Puebla César A. Cisneros
Published: April 2019

In this brief piece, I introduce “state terrorism” and “accumulation by dispossession” as a framework to represent Donald Trump as a specific personification of a large group of past and current presidents who have led or actually are leading some nations in a particular way. It is formulated as a demand to study the daily life using qualitative methodologies and create new ways of producing useful knowledge to actively transform our societies. A T-shirt is depicted as an artifact of creative subversion in the context of a permanent dialogue between Mexicans and Americans on public themes such as a wall on the border.
From Latin America

Published: April 2019

I present a Latin American perspective of the rise of the right in the world, how this affects the qualitative academy and Latin American universities, and the resistance possibility of hope. To further resistance, I propose we need to put together the efforts of researchers who are adherent to different methodologies, with the unifying condition that each has critical intentions and has the aim of creating communities conformed as immunitary democracies where we find ways to place our listening, knowledge, and instruments in the hands of the people.
Research-Creation Walking Methodologies and an Unsettling of Time
Authors: Springgay Stephanie , Truman Sarah E.
Published: April 2019

This article examines two walking events that explore questions of sovereignty, borders, histories, and time through strategies of speculation, counter-cartographies, and anarchiving practices. To the Landless by Dylan Miner and Miss Canadiana's Heritage and Cultural Walking Tour: The Grange by Camille Turner ask us to imagine a past, present, and future that are radically different from ongoing settler colonialism and White supremacy. Stepping ‘out of time’ has important implications for the kinds of research-creation events it germinates. Chronological time is so pervasive and powerful that we as qualitative researchers are often caught up in its neoliberal progress narrative. Walking with scholars and artists who refuse time's organization and the fixing or preservation of state narratives disrupts colonial legibility and the repeated imposition of the normative order. Unsettling time becomes a model for research and education that are outside colonial, neoliberal, and dominant ideologies. To unsettle something is to open it up to possibility.
Proteostasis Environment Shapes Higher-Order Epistasis Operating on Antibiotic Resistance
Authors: Guerrero Rafael F , Scarpino Samuel V , Rodrigues João V , Hartl Daniel L , Ogbunugafor C Brandon
Published: April 2019

Epistasis is widely regarded as one of the most important phenomena in genetics. It proposes that the combined effects of mutations cannot be easily predicted from their individual effects. In the present study...

Recent studies have affirmed that higher-order epistasis is ubiquitous and can have large effects on complex traits. Yet, we lack frameworks for understanding how epistatic interactions are influenced by central features of cell physiology. In this study, we assess how protein quality control machinery—a critical component of cell physiology—affects epistasis for different traits related to bacterial resistance to antibiotics. Specifically, we disentangle the interactions between different protein quality control genetic backgrounds and two sets of mutations: (i) SNPs associated with resistance to antibiotics in an essential bacterial enzyme (dihydrofolate reductase, or DHFR) and (ii) differing DHFR bacterial species-specific amino acid background sequences (Escherichia coli, Listeria grayi, and Chlamydia muridarum). In doing so, we improve on generic observations that epistasis is widespread by discussing how patterns of epistasis can be partly explained by specific interactions between mutations in an essential enzyme and genes associated with the proteostasis environment. These findings speak to the role of environmental and genotypic context in modulating higher-order epistasis, with direct implications for evolutionary theory, genetic modification technology, and efforts to manage antimicrobial resistance.
Decentralized Methods of Water Treatment for Reuse of Residential Gray Water
Authors: Bertolazzi Andrew
Published: April 2019

Water shortages continue to cause negative economic, environmental, and social effects. This could be partially solved by reducing residential water consumption. This could be achieved by recycling graywater through an on-site graywater recycling system. Such a system would need to treat graywater to meet local water quality standards, be able to treat the graywater load from a typical home, be compact enough to fit in or near a home, and be relatively affordable. Three systems intended to treat residential graywater were examined: a drawer compacted sand filter, a semi-batch vertical flow wetland, and a moving bed biofilm membrane bioreactor. After an analysis of the three solutions, the semi-batch vertical flow wetland was recognized as the best graywater recycling system to use in residential buildings. This system produced treated graywater with the highest water quality and that contained no detectable escherichia coli. This system also was compact, and could process the highest amount of graywater. If successful, this system could help residential graywater recycling become more common and therefore reduce residential water consumption. This could help reduce the severity of water shortages and the negative effects associated with them.
From Queen Latifah to Lil’ Kim: The Evolution of the Feminist M.C.
Authors: Jordan Jacquelyn
Published: April 2019

The feminist lyricism of early female hip-hop artists conveyed a message of empowerment, and an awareness of the power of one’s own femininity. Artists like Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte, Monie Love and Queen Latifah reigned as the queens of hip-hop in the late 80’s and early 90’s, cementing their legacy as hip-hop royalty. But it was during the late 90’s and into the millennium, that this feminist message within hip-hop music began to change. A new kind of feminism was developing within the music and culture, with lyrics focused on sexual liberation, control, and sexual domination. In this paper, I will argue that while the style in which these concepts were presented, there no distinct difference between the feminist philosophy of a socially-conscious artist like Queen Latifah or a more sexually liberated artist like Lil’ Kim. Both encouraged women to be liberated, empowered and to resist sexist oppression through the genre of hip-hop.
Bruising as the first sign of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency
Authors: Szabo Csilla Enikő , Man Oana Iulia , Șerban Radu Sorin , Kiss Eva , Lazăr Călin Florin
Published: April 2019

Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is an important cause of chronic malnutrition, secondary to maldigestion-malabsorption, which can be caused in children especially by cystic fibrosis, but also by other much rarer diseases. The case of a 6 months and 3 weeks old male pediatric patient is reported, who was admitted to the clinic for head and forearms bruising. Laboratory findings identified vitamin K deficiency as the cause of the cutaneous hemorrhagic syndrome. Further investigations revealed association of steatorrhea (which is a marker of fat malabsorption), iron-deficiency anemia and hypovitaminosis D, which had been produced by nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption syndrome. From the numerous disorders that could be associated with pancreatic insufficiency in children, the following conditions had been excluded: cystic fibrosis (mucoviscidosis), cow`s milk protein intolerance, gluten-sensitive enteropathy (coeliac disease), Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, abetalipoproteinemia, etc. Based upon decreased levels of stool pancreatic elastase in repeated measurements, together with low serum lipase, the final diagnosis of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency was established. Treatment of this case consisted mainly in pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, but also oral iron supplementation and dietary supplements with fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). The outcome was favorable, characterized by normalization of intestinal passage, ascending growth curve and normalization of the majority of laboratory tests values that were modified between the time of patient admission to our clinic and initiation of specific therapy (serum level of vitamin K, vitamin D and lipase, coagulation profile, hemoglobin and red blood cell indexes), as well as higher value of fecal pancreatic elastase.

Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pulpal response to direct pulp capping in healthy human teeth with Portland cement (PC) as against mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as control.METHODS: Forty healthy human third molars indicated for extraction were randomly divided into two groups: PC and MTA. The teeth had iatrogenic pulp exposed and direct pulp capping with PC or MTA. After 1, 7, 14 and 21 days, the teeth were extracted and prepared for histological examination and bacterial detection. The Mann-Whitney test was applied for statistical analysis (p < 0.05).RESULTS: The MTA presented higher capacity to form of dentin bridges at 14- and 21-day intervals (p < 0.05). However, no significant statistical difference was found between the groups at all evaluated intervals (p > 0.05) for the response variables of inflammatory cells, soft tissue organization and bacterial staining.CONCLUSION: The PC has a biocompatibility equivalent to the MTA but with a lower capacity to form of dentin bridges. Therefore, MTA should be the material of choice for direct pulp capping.

Authors: Ayres de Melo Ricardo Eugenio Varela , Fernandes Marcela Côrte Real , Ayres de Melo Rodrigo Henrique Mello Varela , Ayres de Melo Pinheiro Milena Mello Varela , Ayres de Melo Victor Leonardo Mello Varela , De Aguiar Camilla Siqueira
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: Unerupted tooth, also called impacted tooth by some authors, is a dental organ that, even when fully developed did not erupt at the regular time, lying inside the bone completely surrounded by bone tissue or bone and mucosal tissue. The unerupted canines study is very important in dentistry, since successful results depend on early diagnosis for proper treatment management, however, despite the importance of this issue, few studies were found in the literature.CASE DESCRPTION: This paper reported a clinical case of a 14-year-old female patient who had four canines in the mentonian region of the mandible surrounded by a dentigerous cyst. The patient underwent a surgical procedure under general anesthesia for the teeth and dentigerous cyst removal.

Authors: Ayres de Melo Ricardo Eugenio Varela , Fernandes Marcela Côrte Real , Ayres de Melo Rodrigo Henrique Mello Varela , Ayres de Melo Pinheiro Milena Mello Varela , Ayres de Melo Victor Leonardo Mello Varela , De Aguiar Camilla Siqueira
Published: April 2019

OBJECTIVE: The Pleomorphic Adenoma is the most common among benign neoplasm derived from salivary glands and it might suggest malignancy when there is some sort of fast growth, pain, facial nerve involvement and cervical adenopathy. Its onset occurs between 40 and 60 years old and prevails on the female gender. Salivary glands tumor diagnosis depends on a precise pathological diagnosis as well as non-invasive examinations, which include ultrasonography, sialography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The most recommended surgical treatment is the complete lesion excision, indispensable to avoid possible recurrence. Depending on the lesion situs, size, depth, and volume, the surgical technique choice for the pleomorphic adenoma may vary. The adenoma keeps developing if it is not completely removed. CASE DESCRIPTION: The present paper aims to describe a clinical case of a female melanodermic patient, aged 29 years old, who attended the MaxilloFacial Surgery and Traumatology Service of Federal University of Pernambuco complaining of an increased volume in the left submandibular region. The clinical examination revealed a well-delimited lesion in the left parotid area, presenting with a firm and painless consistency. The required ultrasonography image confirmed the initial diagnosis and the patient was referred to the surgical facility in order to undertake tumor resection with partial parotidectomy under general anesthesia.CONCLUSION: The present study concludes that pleomorphic adenoma is a benign tumor with diverse characteristics and surgical technique choice depends on the lesion depth, as well as its extension and relation with the facial nerve.

Odonata of the Kruger National Park
Authors: Underhill Les , Loftie-Eaton Megan , Navarro Rene
Published: April 2019

The number of species of dragonflies and damselflies recorded in the Kruger National, South Africa, was 103 in April 2018. This figure was based on a database containing 2,817 records of Odonata, made since 1980, from the 52 quarter degree grid cells which intersect with the Kruger National Park. Records were available for 41 of the 52 grid cells. The most frequently recorded species were Red-veined Dropwing Trithemis arteriosa (167 records) and the Orange-veined Dropwing Trithemis kirbyi (144 records), both recorded in 33 grid cells, and Southern Banded Groundling Brachythemis leucosticta (175 records) and Broad Scarlet (141 records) both in 29 grid cells. Based on records up to April 2018, the median date of the most recent record for species was September 2017, so that half of the 103 species had been recorded during summer 2017/18. This report could be used to motivate the proclamation of the river and wetland systems of the Kruger National Park as a “Wetland of International Importance” in terms of the Ramsar Convention. Two-thirds of the Odonata of South Africa, and one-eighth of the Odonata of Africa, have been recorded in the Kruger National Park.
Dragonflies and damselflies of the Western Cape - OdonataMAP report, August 2018
Authors: Underhill Les , Loftie-Eaton Megan , Navarro Rene
Published: April 2019

In the two-year period 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2018, citizen scientists added seven species to the list of dragonflies and damselflies in the Western Cape, bringing the total to 76 species (Figure 1).

The database available for this report contained 11,267 records of dragonflies and damselflies. This includes the specimen record dating back to the start of the 20th century.

Of these records 2,433 records (22%) were added between July 2016 and June 2017, and 4,202 (37%) between July 2017 and June 2018.

Thus 59% of the entire Western Cape database of records of dragonflies and damselflies was contributed by citizen scientists in two years.
Flexible adaptation planning process for urban adaptation in Melbourne, Australia
Authors: Radhakrishnan Mohanasundar , Löwe Roland , Ashley Richard M , Gersonius Berry , Arnbjerg-Nielsen Karsten , Pathirana Assela , Zevenbergen Chris
Published: April 2019

Resilience towards climate and socio-economic changes can be increased by means of flexible adaptation. In contemporary adaptation planning, building resilience is considered together with objectives such as sustainability, productivity and transformations. An adaptation planning process (termed water-sensitive city adaptation planning process (WSCapp)) may be used to incorporate flexibility or incremental flexible adaptation measures in a comprehensive adaptation strategy, such as when planning water-sensitive cities. This paper applies WSCapp in the context of adapting to urban flooding in Melbourne, Australia, which aspires to become a water-sensitive city. Application of WSCapp – through nine steps of analysis – has helped identify appropriate adaptation measures and economic adaptation pathways. In the case of Melbourne, of the three adaptation measures considered, the combination of rainwater tanks at the household level and the flood-proofing of households was found to be the most effective. WSCapp is fundamental for future work with urban planning and infrastructure consultants and can greatly benefit them with obtaining a more flexible and sustainable flood management response.

Justificativa e Objetivos: O enfermeiro exerce papel fundamental na realização do Papanicolau, logo seu comportamento em saúde frente ao exame e outras práticas de prevenção. Assim, este estudo objetivou identificar o índice de realização e conhecimento sobre o Papanicolau entre acadêmicas de enfermagem. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo descritivo, transversal e quantitativa realizado entre março de 2016 e março de 2017 em uma faculdade privada de São Paulo, junto a 28 acadêmicas de enfermagem, maiores de 18 anos, devidamente matriculadas e em atividade regular em sala de aula. A coleta de dados ocorreu na própria faculdade, conforme a disponibilidade de horário das acadêmicas, através de aplicação de questionário estruturado e pré testado. A análise dos dados ocorreu por estatística descritiva. Os dados foram analisados pelo Statistical Package for Social Sciences, aplicando o teste Exato de Fisher. Resultados: As participantes do estudo conheciam o teste, sua importância e necessidade de realização. Observou-se que 78,6% não sabiam a periodicidade da realização do teste conforme recomendação do Ministério da Saúde, 42,9% desconhecia a necessidade ou importância de gestantes na realização do procedimento e 80,8% das participantes que referiram nunca ter realizado, não atribuíram motivo em específico. Conclusão: o baixo índice de realização e o conhecimento pontual do Papanicolau revela um descuido das participantes ou pouco acesso à essas informações. Esse cenário pode ser semelhante em seus ambientes familiares e acabar refletindo posteriormente em suas práticas profissionais. Descritores: Saúde da Mulher. Conhecimento. Estudantes de Enfermagem.

According to literature, usability and user satisfaction directly influence learning achievement. However, few studies address those elements in MOOCs (massive open online courses). Relevant questions such as “Are drop-out rates similar between SPOCs (small private open courses) and MOOCs?” and “Are there significant usability and satisfaction differences between both formats?” may help improve initiatives and dissemination policies regarding open knowledge. This study aims to upgrade guidelines for the conversion of SPOCs into MOOCs, by exploring usability and satisfaction in both formats. A quantitative research based on a questionnaire was designed, and the validated SUSE (Satisfaction and Usability of Software in Education) instrument was applied to 7 courses of each type, with the same contents, and 5,192 students. The results revealed validity and reliability, with higher satisfaction scores on the open platform. Genders, regions of residence, and age groups also provided interesting findings: students are predominantly male, young, and from diverse geographic locations. Women, the younger, and residents of economically disadvantaged regions evaluated their experiences more positively. Both formats present significantly lower dropout rates (47.50% in MOOCs and 36.94% in SPOCs) and higher completion rates (52.50% in MOOCs and 63.06% in SPOCs) compared to those generally observed in free enrollment courses.

Authors: García-Minguillán Claudia
Published: April 2019

RESUMENA partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII, España necesita más que nunca demostrar al resto de naciones europeas la calidad de su literatura. Se persigue por distintas vías recuperar textos canónicos que puedan aportar una imagen de valor nacional, y una de estas vías es la consideración del género épico. En este trabajo analizamos la labor de Juan Francisco Masdeu, jesuita expulso, que, junto a otros miembros de la Compañía, recuperó la figura de Bernardo de Balbuena y su poema heroico "El Bernardo o Victoria de Roncesvalles" (1624) para proponerlo ante Europa como el Tasso español.PALABRAS CLAVEPoesía épica, jesuitas, Bernardo de Balbuena, "El Bernardo", Juan Francisco Masdeu. TITLEThe epic of Jesuits: judgement and comments to Balbuena’s "El Bernardo"ABSTRACTSince the second half of the XVIII century, Spain needed to demonstrate the rest of European nations the quality of its literature. They tried in different ways to recover canonic texts that could show an image of national value. One of these ways was, for instance, the assessment of the epic genre. In this essay, we analyze the aim of Juan Francisco Masdeu, expelled Jesuit, who, with other members of the Company, recovered the figure of Bernardo de Balbuena and his heroic poem "El Bernardo o Victoria de Roncesvalles" (1624) with the objective of proposing Balbuena as the Spanish version of Tasso.KEY WORDSEpic poetry, Jesuits, Bernardo de Balbuena, "El Bernardo", Juan Francisco Masdeu.
EL “MODO DE ENTENDER Y SENTIR EL ARTE DECORATIVO” DEL ARQUITECTO LEONARDO RUCABADO (1875-1918))

 The "Way to Understand and Feel the Decorative Art" of the Architect Leonardo Rucabado (1875-1918)

El arquitecto Leonardo Rucabado (1875-1918) adquirió en su formación modernista en Barcelona la idea de obra de arte total. En Bilbao se sirve de las industrias artísticas de la construcción impulsadas por la Escuela de Artes y Oficios. En sus primeras obras, de villas y chalets, adopta interiores de carácter inglés frente al exterior de inspiración alemana, mostrando una clara discordancia. A ello se añadió, por un breve periodo de tiempo, el diseño de mobiliario inspirado en la Sezession vienesa. Pero sobre todo en sus casas regionalistas busca la coherencia completa entre el exterior y el interior de los edificios. En sus textos vemos el empeño personal en introducir en el diseño de interiores y el mobiliario el espíritu poético que anima todas sus obras.

Comportamiento de consumo en puntos de venta físicos: aplicación de smart data
Authors: Elías Zambrano Rodrigo , Jiménez-Marín Gloria
Published: April 2019

En los tiempos en los que parece que el comercio online va creciendo a pasos agigantados, y cuando parece que el comercio físico empieza a decaer en pro del primero, surge la necesidad, más que nunca, de conocer el comportamiento real del consumidor en los establecimientos físicos, tradicionales. Esto es: los puntos de venta deben adelantarse a las decisiones de compra de consumidores (y compradores y usuarios) para poder ofrecerle las mejores condiciones y adaptar las 4P a cada cliente. Para ello se hace casi imprescindible conocer ciertos hábitos y rutinas personales que puedan ser predecibles y, consecuencia, convertirse en posteriores compras en los espacios comerciales. Es ahí donde surge el retail intelligence, tecnología que usa el Big Data para acercarse a los potenciales clientes al objeto de incrementar ventas de las empresas. El objetivo de este estudio es mostrar este uso del Big Data con fines directos y claramente comerciales.

Authors: Corredor Camargo Javier Adolfo , Peña Cortés Cesar Augusto , Pardo García Aldo
Published: April 2019

Introducción: Este estudio evalúa las cinco métricas de desempeño, disponibles en el dispositivo Emotiv Insight en una tarea virtual de seguimiento de trayectorias por medio de un robot móvil.
Objetivo: Caracterizar y/o determinar si algunas métricas EEG se relacionan con primitivas de una tarea de tele operación, donde se realimentan señales hápticas, en pro de verificar si puede ser útil incorporar la información disponible del dispositivo Emotiv en una estrategia de control compartido.
Metodología: Se formuló un diseño experimental, que incluye el registro y análisis de neuroseñales en cinco usuarios con una Interfaz Cerebro Computador (ICC), ejecutando tareas de teleoperación de un robot móvil en el entorno de VREP (Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform).
Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el compromiso y la relajación son emociones que podrían ser de utilidad para identificar situaciones demandantes en tareas de seguimiento y evasión de obstáculos. Por otro lado, se observa que algunas métricas como estrés, excitación, interés y enfoque, en promedio, se mantienen en niveles similares durante la ejecución de la tarea.
Conclusiones: Incluir interfaces cerebro computador de bajo costo, como el Emotiv en tareas con realimentación háptica, ofrece nuevas posibilidades para la evaluación del desempeño del usuario y potencialmente para control.

Published: April 2019

Introducción: La Estación Terrena Satelital (ETS), corresponde a una infraestructura tecnológica conformada por dispositivos de hardware y software que permite la comunicación desde tierra con un satélite.
Objetivo: Este articulo tiene como propósito central describir las fases desarrolladas con la implementación de un sistema de monitoreo remoto de señales en tierra, para el análisis de variables metereológicas, y de esta manera, aumentar el porcentaje de utilización de los dispositivos que conforman la infraestructura de la Estación Terrena Satelital de la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (ETS-UPTC).
Metodología: El diseño metodológico permitió validar el incremento en el porcentaje de uso diario de la ETS-UPTC. Permitió la identificación de las aplicaciones susceptibles a ser monitoreadas en tierra, la descripción de la estructura general del sistema, la adaptación del nodo sensor y el tratamiento de datos para su posterior visualización en el nodo coordinador.
Resultados: Se logró desarrollar un nodo sensor, cuya implementación y adaptación con la ETS–UPTC permitió incrementar su nivel de uso diario en un 20 % aproximadamente.
Conclusiones: La integración del sistema de monitoreo de variables meteorológicas con la ETS-UPTC, sirven como una alternativa, para ser replicada en otras estaciones terrenas satelitales construidas bajo el diseño tradicional monolítico, o como referente para implementar otras soluciones de monitoreo, que exijan el uso de diferentes áreas de conocimiento en su diseño e implementación. El desarrollo del proyecto, se constituye en un aporte social que la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia puede ofrecer a los departamentos de Boyacá y Casanare, a través de la consolidación y distribución de la información sobre el comportamiento de variables meteorológicas, datos que podrían ser utilizados para el sistema de alertas tempranas y prevención de riesgos.
