“La puta madre” Discursos y tensiones sobre el trabajo sexual en Uruguay
Authors: Cedrés Ferrero Isabel
Published: January 2021

Este artículo se propone discutir acerca de las tensiones que coexisten en los discursos feministas, en relación al trabajo sexual y la comercialización del sexo realizado por mujeres cis-género, profundizando en particular en los discursos existentes en la esfera pública en Uruguay. Considerando el debate clásico entre abolicionismo y regulacionismo, se profundiza en sus principales tensiones y características en el movimiento feminista de nuestro país.

Luego de repasar el escenario uruguayo, se constata tanto en los debates internacionales como en el caso nacional, una fuerte tensión entre la utilización del concepto de autonomía y el de trabajo sexual. Se profundiza en este sentido incorporando un análisis desde la perspectiva del “yo relacional”, que sitúa el debate desde un punto de vista novedoso para las posiciones antagónicas mencionadas.

Analisis Perkembangan Sosial Pada Anak Bilingual di Abad 21
Authors: Aulia Annisa
Published: January 2021

Communication is an important requirement in order to adapt to the broad social environment in the 21st century. One of the efforts made is the use of two languages (bilingual) in everyday life. However, parents unconsciously put children into a world with language development tasks that are more complex than the competencies that children should have. This of course will affect social development and children's ability to interact with the environment. This study analyzes the use of bilinguals in terms of children's social competence and social behavior. The research method uses literature studies by analyzing 20 books and scientific articles related to bilingualism and children's social development. The data analysis technique used content analysis related to the phenomena, causes and effects of social development in children using bilinguals. The results of the analysis show that the use of bilingual children has a positive and negative side to the child's social development. The positive thing is that bilingual children can easily adapt outside their social environment as a means of communication. There will be a sense of pride in the child because he can master more than one language. But the negative thing is, some of the bilingual children will find it difficult to understand new concepts in a different language, so they often feel depressed. In addition, there is a gap between children and their social environment.

Understanding the concept of numeral symbols in early childhood is fundamental to understanding mathematical concepts in the future. In view of that, children aged 4-5 years found many problems such as unable to distinguish the form of number symbols, unappropriated learning strategies, and monotonous learning activities. This study aimed to: (1) develop the learning strategies using number circuit games to introduce numeral symbols for 4-5-year-old-children; (2) assess the effectiveness of implementing number circuit games as the learning strategies introducing numeral symbols for 4-5-year-old children. ADDIE with five stages – namely analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation – was adopted in this research. The data were analyzed descriptively through qualitative and quantitative techniques. The evidence revealed that: (1) the introduction of numeral symbols for 4-5-year-old children by memorizing and understandings required the implementation of game-based learning strategies; (2) number circuit games which were modified based on the material, the implementation, and the purpose were suitable for children of 4-5 years old; (3) learning strategies using number circuit games to introduce numeral symbols for children of 4-5 year with p-value. Sig 0.000 < 0.05 had revealed that there were significant differences in children’s ability in identifying the numeral symbols.

Viruslar ekolojide en dinamik mikro varlıklardır. Yapısı ve replikasyon stratejileri itibarıyla doğada varlıklarını sürdürmek için bir konakçıya ihtiyaç duyarlar. Viruslar genellikle replikasyon sırasında konakçısında olumsuz durumlar meydana getirirler. Virusun yapısına katacağı konakçı hücresinde sentezlenen proteinler konakçı hücre için hastalık tetikleyici unsurlar olmaktadırlar. Ekolojide değişen dengeler ve koşullar konakçı-virus ilişkisi üzerinde de sürekli bir değişime yol açmaktadır. Özellikle genomik yapıda meydana gelen değişimler virusların konakçı affinitesini de etkilemektedir. Virus genomunda meydana gelen bu değişikler ekolojide yer alan en gelişmiş canlılar olan insanların ve hayvanların sağlığı için büyük önem taşırlar. Buna en güncel örneklerden biri Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) salgını ve etkeni olan Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)’dir. SARS-CoV-2 orijin olarak nereden veya hangi canlıdan köken aldığı kesin olarak bilinmese de yapılan genetik analizler sonucu bazı yarasa ve pangolin türlerinde bulunan coronaviruslara yakınlık gösterdiği ortaya konmuştur. Bu sonuç SARS-CoV-2’nin mutasyonlar sonucu konakçı değiştirme ihtimali yüksek olan bir virus olabileceği hipotezini güçlendirmektedir. Bu kapsamda, derlemede, zaman içerisinde genetik farklılık geçirdikten sonra konakçı affinitesi değişen viruslardan bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca geçmiş dönemde meydana gelen bu değişiklikler göz önünde bulundurularak gelecekte meydana gelebilecek yeni konakçı değişimleri ve muhtemel hastalık salgınları hakkında da öngörüler derlememizde konu edilmiştir.

Authors: Smartson. P. NYONI  , Thabani NYONI
Published: January 2021

Using annual time series data on the prevalence of anemia in children under 5 years of age in Myanmar from 1990 – 2016, the study makes predictions for the period 2017 – 2025. The study applies the Box-Jenkins ARIMA methodology. The diagnostic ADF tests show that, AM, the series under consideration is an I (0) variable. Based on the AIC, the study presents an AR (4) model, which is also called the ARIMA (4, 0, 0) model. This has been found to be the parsimonious model. The diagnostic tests further reveal that the presented model is quite stable and its residuals are not serially correlated. The results of the research indicate that the prevalence of anemia in children in Myanmar will rise from approximately 54.5% in 2017 to almost 64.8% by 2025. This means that anemia is not yet under control in the country. This is a wake up call to both public health policy makers and nutrition specialists in the country.

COLLEGE CONVERSION INTO QUARANTINE CENTRE: PARENTS’ PERCEPTION ON SAFETY AT KENYA MEDICAL TRAINING COLLEGE, MOMBASA
Authors: Ogada Japheth , Miriti Rita , Ogendo Marsellah , Barawa Winnie , Hawa Florence
Published: January 2021

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine perception of parents on safety of their children upon resumption of face-to-face studies at Kenya Medical Training College, Mombasa after its temporary conversion into COVID-19 quarantine centre.

Methodology: The study was a descriptive cross-sectional design done at KMTC-Mombasa. 85 (10%) parents were sampled by convenience method from total population of 850. Multi stage sampling was used to select 85 participants. Data was collected through structured phone administered interview. Response rate was 85.8% (73). Descriptive analyses were carried out using SPSS 26. Presentation of the results was done by use of graphs, pie charts and tables.

Findings: 65.8% (48) of parents were aware of KMTC Mombasa having being converted into COVID-19 quarantine centre. Most parents 91.8% (67) felt safe for their children to go back to college. Availability of clear information about safety measures was cited by 69% (46) of the parents as the reason they felt the students would be safe. Only 6 parents (8.2%) felt unsafe for their children. They explained that COVID-19 spreads quickly in congested places like schools and that the college was ‘highly infectious’ as a quarantine centre. There was a significant relationship between parents perception of safety of the college and their proposition of dates of reopening the college (p=0.01). Parents generally considered the college facilities conducive for use (Mean=61.33%).

Unique contribution to theory, practice and Policy: The views of parents as key stakeholders when learning institutions are converted into quarantine centers during a pandemic have not been explored in literature. Parents who perceived the college as safe would allow their children to go back to college and resume face-to-face learning as soon as possible. However, parents who perceived the college as unsafe would stop their children from going back to college. For smooth learning, it is important for college management to ensure that necessary safety measures are put in place and communicated to parents before reopening of college.

Technological advances have developed rapidly nowadays. These technological advances are also in line with the development of ways of communicating both orally and in writing. In terms of writing, maintaining aspects of data security and confidentiality is very important. Many technologies can be used to secure data such as cryptography and steganography. This research will use the First of File and End of File Steganography Algorithms to secure data. Steganography is the science of hiding messages or data in the media. The First of File and End of File methods are one of the many methods commonly used in the Steganography Algorithm. Generally, the First of File and End of File methods are not much different. The First of File method inserts a message at the beginning of the file, while End Of File inserts a message at the end of the file. This technology can also be applied again for the years to come. This research produces an overview after a review study of the application of the FOF and EOF steganographic algorithms, the speed of steganography and the differences in the image after steganography in terms of image size and pixel.

Quantifying Suspended Sediment using Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in Tidung Island Seawaters
Authors: Manik Henry Munandar , Firdaus Randi
Published: January 2021

Tidung Island, located near Jakarta Bay, is a tourism and conservation area. It is necessary to keep these seawaters unpolluted. To calculate the level of pollution, it is necessary to know the sediment concentration. Quantifying concentration suspended sediment is important for knowledge of sediment transport. Researchers usually use water sample analysis and optical method for quantifying suspended sediment in seawater. Less accuracies of these methods are due to under sample of seawater and the existence of biological fouling. One promising method to measure concentration of suspended sediment is using Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). ADCP is usually used by oceanographer and hydrographer to measure ocean current. In this research, ADCP with 300 kHz operating frequency was used effectively to measure suspended sediment concentration (SSC) and ocean current simultaneously. The echo intensity received from suspended sediment was computed using sonar equations to quantify SSC. The empirical equation between echo intensity and SSC was found. The SSC value obtained by ADCP was also compared with in situ measurement. The result showed that quantified SSC value obtained by ADCP was nearly equal with SSC obtained from in situ measurement with coefficient correlation of 0.98. The high concentration ranged from 55 mg/L to 80 mg/L at the surface layer to a depth 12 m, moderate concentration ranged from 45 mg/L to 55 mg/L at a depth 12 m to 40 m, and low concentration less than 45 mg/L at a depth greater than 40 m. The distribution of SSC was correlated with ocean current condition. In small currents, suspended solids will settle faster so that the concentration in the water column will decrease. Conversely, if the velocity is high, suspended solids will continue to float carried by the current in the water column so that the concentration is high.
In Silico Designing of a Multi-Epitope Based Vaccine Candidate Against Human Adenovirus Type B3 Respiratory Infections by Utilising Various Immunoinformatics Approaches
Authors: Panda Somnath , Banik Urmila , Adhikary Arun Kumar
Published: January 2021

Human adenovirus type B3 (HAdV-B3) causes severe respiratory infections, hence an efficient vaccine is required. Unfortunately, the presence of numerous hexon variations makes conventional vaccine designing difficult which warrants an alternative method. Therefore, an in silico multi-epitope vaccine had been constructed against appropriate hexon variants of HAdV-B3. The allergenicity, antigenicity, structure, physicochemical properties along with molecular docking with TLR-3 and TLR-9 had also been predicted. The constructed vaccine had 23 different epitopes. It showed non-allergic but antigenic nature with 30hours of half-life in vitro and exhibited thermostable nature. We anticipate that this will considerably reduce the time and expense of biological work needed for future vaccine development.

Lake Bosomtwe is an ancient meteoritic impact crater lake, situated near Kumasi in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The lake is highly prized as a major source of freshwater fish supply, livelihoods, and a resort attraction. The lake is held sacred because of the legend surrounding its discovery. Its predominantly cichlid fishery has been managed for many centuries only by laws that were shrouded in taboos or traditional religious prohibitions. Human activities with the tendency to upset the spirits believed to be dwelling in the lake, such as excessive agitation of the water, noise-making, fishing on a sacred day and the use of conventional nets were prohibited and outlawed. The chiefs, at the instance of the priests of the local shrines, demanded ritual (animal and drink) sacrifices from offenders in cases of non-observance of the taboos to pacify and avert the wrath of the spirits. Although, the laws were essentially traditional religious commandments they were not without connotations for conventional fisheries management. Currently, however, virtually all the traditional fisheries rules and regulations appear to have broken down, as modernity seems to have eroded their relevance, with the result that there is a serious overfishing and depletion of the fish stocks. Nevertheless, recovery of the dwindled fisheries is possible by blending conventional management practices and the traditional laws that are still deemed relevant.

Authors: Moscardini Vilela Marina , Díaz Huamán Stephanie , De Rossi Moara , Nelson-Filho Paulo , De Rossi Andiara
Published: January 2021

Objetivo. Revisar la literatura sobre la filosofía en Odontología para Bebés. Síntesis de datos. A pesar de que la promoción de la salud es muy practicada en todas las áreas de la salud, la odontología se caracteriza por restar importancia a la prevención de enfermedades bucales y a los tratamientos preventivos, cuando estos son realizados, ya los dientes deciduos se encuentran altamente comprometidos por la caries dental. Los resultados alcanzados a través de la enseñanza de tratamiento odontológico a bebés, en diferentes partes del mundo, tienen un futuro promisorio, ya que enfatiza las particularidades de su crecimiento y desarrollo infantil, considera al bebé como un todo, y no solamente desde el punto de vista de salud bucal. Conclusiones. La buena práctica de la odontología para bebés brinda la posibilidad de fomentar la salud y prevenir la enfermedad, de una forma muy simple, eficaz y de bajo costo.

Published: January 2021

Histiocitosis de células de Langerhans (HCL) es una singular enfermedad idiopática, la cual se caracteriza por proliferación clónica de células de Langerhans. HCL puede presentarse como una simple lesión osteolitica o puede afectar múltiples sistemas en el cuerpo. Oralmente se puede preceder manifestaciones sistémicas o simular desordenes infecciosos/inflamatorios. El reporte de este caso presenta a un varón de 3 años de edad referido a la clínica del programa Postdoctoral de Odontopediatria en la Universidad de Puerto Rico para evaluar una posible enfermedad periodontal en los segundos molares deciduos. En la evaluación clínica se observó inflamación extraoral bilateral en los lados izquierdo y derecho del rostro obliterando los ángulos mandibulares. La piel suprayacente estaba intacta y sin sintomatología. En la evaluación intraoral mostró inflamación localizada en la mucosa suprayacente de los molares deciduos en ambos lados con cierto grado de movilidad. Este caso ejemplifica la necesidad tanto de pediatras como odontopediatras de estar conscientes que HCL puede simular lesiones periodontales.
Análisis y estrategias en la aplicación de la evaluación formativa y compartida en magisterio
Authors: Angelini María Laura
Published: January 2021

Este trabajo analiza la aplicación de la evaluación formativa y compartida en la formación del profesorado en Maestro especialista en lengua inglesa. Se realiza un repaso de los fundamentos teóricos que avalan esta modalidad de evaluación y se lleva a cabo un estudio cualitativo y cuantitativo con una población de futuros maestros de inglés correspondiente a tres cursos consecutivos. Se detalla el procedimiento para la obtención de los datos que dan cuerpo a la presente investigación; se efectúa el análisis de los mismos, de los que se extraen las conclusiones. Se ha podido comprobar que la evaluación formativa y compartida ejerce un papel fundamental en el compromiso del alumnado con su propia formación, desarrolla su autonomía, propicia un seguimiento cercano y diferenciado de él, desarrolla competencias lingüísticas y transversales como también permite un mejor desempeño académico. Asimismo, se han identificado ciertas dificultades que están ligadas a una posible inseguridad por parte del alumnado frente a la propuesta de autoevaluación y coevaluación, así como respecto a la coordinación del trabajo en equipo y el tiempo requerido para llevar a cabo los proyectos.
La lectura en educación básica: un saber dominante, sometido e híbrido
Authors: Barrera Delgado Patricia
Published: January 2021

Desde una perspectiva foucaultiana se aborda la lectura como un saber que se conforma dominante, sometido e híbrido. Como saber dominante, se cuestiona la comprensión lectora que cobró forma desde una historia de la lectura que trasciende en la actualidad, se refuerza y se distribuye de la escuela al aula con un discurso de mejora que instaura prácticas evaluadoras. Se usa la historia oral de algunas maestras de educación primaria como recurso metodológico, donde se manifiesta una experiencia de la que emerge el saber sometido de la lectura, que tiene que ver con sus modos de leer en un tiempo y espacio determinados, que cuenta su vida, afectos, necesidades, las relaciones que establece con el otro y le permite la construcción del significado de un texto; este saber sometido pasa inadvertido ante la exigencia del leer para comprender, es un saber que nunca trasciende al corpus teórico institucionalizado por ser subjetivo. Así en el aula, ambos saberes, comprensión y experiencia-subjetividad, permean el pensamiento y las acciones del maestro para conformarse como el saber híbrido que juega con lo instituido. A su vez, los relatos permiten reconocer una diversidad de saberes de la lectura que dan posibilidad a otras formas de subjetivación.
Convergence of IFRS and Ind AS – A Descriptive and Exploratory Insight
Authors: Basu Sayan
Published: January 2021

IFRS are designed to bring consistency to accounting language, practices and statements, and to help businesses and investors make educated financial analyses and decisions. The Ind AS are named and numbered in the same way as the corresponding International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). National Advisory Committee on Accounting Standards (NACAS) recommends these standards to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). Indian viewpoints do not receive adequate attention at International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). Those are not debated adequately at the IASB before rejection. The present paper will discuss the reasons behind convergence of IFRs, rather than adoption. It also shows the Carve Outs of Ind AS from IFRS by providing valid reasons.

La investigación tuvo como objetivo fundamental, determinar el tiempo óptimo de cocción, pérdidas de peso y porcentaje de hinchamiento de pastas alimenticias cortas, elaboradas con mezclas de harina de trigo durum (HT) y almidón nativo del cultivar de banano Cavendish (AB). Los tratamientos analizados tuvieron los siguientes porcentajes: 100 HT/ 0 AB (T0); 85 HT / 15 AB (T1); 70 HT / 30 AB (T2) y 55 HT / 45 AB (T3). El método de extracción del almidón fue por vía húmeda. La harina de trigo durum estuvo compuesta de 80 % semolinas y 20 % harinas de cola del trigo canadiense amber durum. La caracterización química proximal se determinó por los métodos de la Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC). Las pastas cortas tipo fusilli fueron elaboradas por extrusión, según la norma técnica ecuatoriana NTE INEN 1375,2014. Las pruebas de cocción, se realizaron en agua potable hirviente a presión atmosférica, y la pérdida de peso por secado a 105 °C hasta peso constante. Según los resultados obtenidos, el tiempo óptimo de cocción, perdidas de peso y porcentaje de hinchamiento de pastas alimenticias cortas tipo fusilli extruidas, elaboradas a partir de las mezclas harina de trigo durum – almidón nativo de banano Cavendish, la incorporación de hasta un 30 % de almidón por harina de trigo durum, la calidad de cocción no se ve afectada.
Modelos matemáticos para el análisis de la selectividad antileishmanial de derivados tiadiazínicos.
Authors: Monzote Lianet
Published: January 2021

En la literatura se ha reportado la actividad de derivados de tetrahidro-2H-1,3,5-tiadiazín-2-tionas (THTT) frente a amastigotes de Leishmaniadonovani. Sin embargo, a pesar de que en estos ensayos se han obtenido valores bajos de Concentración Inhibitoria Media (CI50)frente a amastigotes intracelulares, los índices de Concentración Citotóxica Media en células mamíferas (CC50) resultan también bajos, evidenciándose actividad celular inespecífica. El objetivo de este trabajo es obtener modelos matemáticos mediante el empleo de descriptores moleculares cuánticos y físico-químico, con el fin de analizar la relación de estos índices con la actividad y citotoxicidad de derivados bis-tiadiazínicos. Fueron utilizados descriptores cuánticos y físico-químicos para la creación de modelos predictivos de relación cuantitativa estructura-actividad y estructura-citotoxicidad de 18 compuestos derivados de la THTT con actividad in vitro frente a L. donovani. Las geometrías moleculares de los compuestos fueron optimizadas a través del hamiltoniano semiempírico AM1. Los modelos fueron obtenidos utilizando Regresión Lineal Múltiple y validados mediante la técnica de validación cruzada (dejando uno fuera). Se obtuvieron modelos con valores aceptables de los parámetros estadísticos observados para la variable CC50 (R2= 0,80; Q2=0,80), no siendo así para la variable IC50 (R2= 0,47; Q2=0,80). Los modelos obtenidos evidencian que el Calor de Formación influye de manera significativa en ambas propiedades, lo cual podría explicar la actividad inespecífica de estos compuestos. Lo anterior, unido al manejo del resto de las variables con influencia significativa encontradas puede contribuir al diseño de nuevos derivados THTT con actividad específica frente a L. donovani.
A Farra do Boi: humanidade, animalidade e as sensibilidades jurídicas em uma decisão judicial
Authors: Lisboa João Francisco Kleba
Published: January 2021

A farra do boi, como ficou conhecida a prática tradicional de algumas comunidades pesqueiras do litoral catarinense, atualmente proibida pela justiça sob alegação de maus-tratos aos animais, é um caso propício para observar os contrastes entre diferentes sensibilidades jurídicas, assim como as profundas diferenças entre o fazer antropológico e o trabalho dos julgadores. Para isso, o artigo busca se fundamentar em noções que acompanham a formação moderna do pensamento ocidental, como as classificações dicotômicas entre bárbaro e civilizado, natureza e cultura, rural e urbano, chegando à Constituição Federal e seus artigos, que garantem a proteção tanto da cultura quanto do meio ambiente.
