Διαπροσωπική σύγκρουση εργαζομένων
Authors: Λαζανάκη Βέρα
Published: September 2023

Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή έχει ως σκοπό τη διερεύνηση της έννοιας της διαπροσωπικής σύγκρουσης, την ανατομία των συγκρουσιακών σχέσεων και την πορεία τους στον χρόνο, αρχικά σε ατομικό επίπεδο, μέσω της έρευνας ημερολογίου (1η έρευνα) και μετέπειτα σε επίπεδο φαινομένου μέσω διαχρονικής ποιοτικής έρευνας (2η έρευνα). Ως προς το ατομικό επίπεδο (1η έρευνα), διερευνήθηκε μέσω ποσοτικής έρευνας ημερολογίου σε καθημερινό επίπεδο το πως η διαπροσωπική σύγκρουση μεταξύ των εργαζομένων επηρέασε την εντός και εκτός καθηκόντων απόδοση και την συναισθηματική τους εξάντληση. Επιπρόσθετα, διερευνήθηκε εάν και πώς τροποποιείται αυτή η σχέση από την αποσύνδεση που μπορεί να έχουν επιτύχει ή όχι οι εργαζόμενοι μετά από μια διαπροσωπική σύγκρουση στην εργασία τους, καθώς και από την εργασιακή δέσμευση που νιώθουν. Η διερεύνηση των συγκεκριμένων σχέσεων βασίστηκε στο θεωρητικό μοντέλο «Στρεσογόνος Παράγοντας – Αποσύνδεση» (Stressor – Detachment Model), το οποίο εξετάζει το πως επηρεάζουν οι στρεσογόνοι παράγοντες την ψυχική υγεία των εργαζομένων μέσω της αρνητικής τους επίδρασης στην αποσύνδεση των εργαζομένων τις ώρες εκτός εργασίας. Επίσης, έγινε προσπάθεια να επεκταθεί το μοντέλο «Στρεσογόνος Παράγοντας – Αποσύνδεση» με την μελέτη της μεταβλητής της απόδοσης εντός και εκτός καθηκόντων. Ως προς το επίπεδο φαινομένου (2η έρευνα), διεξήχθη μια ποιοτική διαχρονική έρευνα, με σκοπό τη διερεύνηση του φαινομένου της διαπροσωπικής σύγκρουσης και την καταγραφή της πορείας των εργασιακών συγκρουσιακών σχέσεων στον χρόνο. Ο χρόνος είναι το μέσο μέσω του οποίου οι σχέσεις, και ειδικά οι συγκρουσιακές, εξελίσσονται και αλλάζουν και δεν έχει ακόμη ενσωματωθεί συστηματικά στην έρευνα σχέσεων και αξίζει να μελετηθεί. Τα ερευνητικά ερωτήματα που μελετήθηκαν αφορούν το ποιοι είναι οι λόγοι διαπροσωπικής σύγκρουσης των εργαζομένων στην εργασία, ποιες είναι οι συνέπειες (ψυχολογικές και εργασιακές) που προκαλεί η διαπροσωπική σύγκρουση των εργαζομένων στην εργασία, αν οι εργαζόμενοι που βιώνουν μια διαπροσωπική σύγκρουση αναρρώνουν εκτός δουλειάς και ποια είναι η πορεία της συγκρουσιακής σχέσης και η εξέλιξή της μέσα σε ένα χρόνο, σχετικά με τα αίτια της και τις συνέπειες στη ψυχική υγεία και στη συμπεριφορά του εργαζόμενου. Τα αποτελέσματα των δύο ερευνών που διεξήχθησαν oδήγησαν στο συμπέρασμα ότι οι διαπροσωπικές συγκρούσεις στον χώρο εργασίας επηρέασαν την συναισθηματική εξάντληση και την απόδοση του εργαζόμενου. Η έρευνα ανέδειξε ότι οι συνθήκες αυτές μπορεί να αλλάξουν, όταν ο εργαζόμενος έχει αναρρώσει από την εργασία του και νιώθει εργασιακά δεσμευμένος.

pensamiento complejo frente a las rupturas epistémicas requeridas en la gerencia pública del siglo xxi
Authors: Salazar Duque Oscar
Published: September 2023

Se pretende reflexionar sobre algunas razones por las cuales la gerencia pública se ha quedado anclada en cuestionados paradigmas de la ciencia clásica, como también, rezagada frente a los grandes avances de la modernidad, consolidados principalmente, a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, por los revolucionarios aportes de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), la teoría de sistemas, la biotecnología, la inteligencia artificial, la cibernética, la ciencia cuántica y el pensamiento relacional o complejo, entreotros. En efecto, hoy el accionar del Estado no responde efectivamente a su misionalidad, en términos de oportunidad, pertinencia e impacto de su gestión, frente a las necesidades y expectativas del ciudadano, afectado cotidianamente por los disruptivos cambios y el estancamiento del desarrollo social que, en lo que va corrido del siglo XXI, muestra una profundización en su brecha de desigualdad. Para los efectos metodológicos, se parte de los diagnósticos críticos de los principales exponentes actuales del saber administrativopúblico y que se confrontan con algunas estrategias propuestas e impulsadas por los retos y constantes innovaciones que reclama gerencia moderna. Este recorrido analítico y sus conclusiones motivan a generar mayor conciencia frente al mejoramiento de la gestión pública.

Published: September 2023

In the Sungai Piring Community Service Center work area, utilization of the implementation of the standard operating procedure of the integrated service center for the elderly remained low at 26%, and performance falls short of the 100% minimum service standard. To investigate the factors that influence the use of an integrated service center for the elderly in Sungai Piring Village, Batang Tuaka District, Indragiri Hilir Regency, in 2020. This study is a quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design. Sungai Piring Village, Batang Tuaka District, Indragiri Hilir Regency, has a population of 373 people who are all pre-elderly and elderly aged 45 and up. The research sample size was 150 people. The samples were collected using systematic random sampling. A questionnaire tested for validity, and reliability was used to collect data. Measured variables were the utilization of integrated service centers knowledge, attitude, access to an integrated service center, family support, health personnel services, cadre services, education, occupation, age, and gender. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed that 61.8% of the elderly did not use the elderly integrated service center. The results of the multivariate analysis revealed that attitude (p=0.030), family support (p=0.000), healthcare services (p=0.009), and education (p=0.005) were the variables that influenced the use of an integrated service center for the elderly. Family support is the most influential variable (POR 18,121). As a result, improved health promotion and education about the importance of an integrated service center for elderly-to-elderly families, as well as the formation of family groups to care for the elderly, are required. Community service centers can help to increase the use of integrated health centers for the elderly by fostering collaboration across sectors, the private sector, and community empowerment.

Cotton on to the problems: a visual aid for mimicking maxillary advancement surgery chairside
Authors: Dewshi Claire , Brierley Catherine
Published: September 2023

When planning orthognathic surgery for patients with a mild Class III skeletal relationship, it may be challenging for orthodontists to predict soft tissue changes in a way that is meaningful to patients. A simple tip is to place two damp cotton wool rolls under the patient's upper lip to mimic anterior repositioning of the maxilla. While dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular, they can complicate facial assessment as a result of the altered soft tissue profile. Patients should be encouraged not to use dermal fillers at any point along the orthognathic pathway, or delay facial assessment in multidisciplinary clinics until these fillers have dissolved.

CPD/Clinical relevance: This article describes a quick and easy chairside aid to help patients and clinicians visualise the facial changes with maxillary advancement surgery by placing two damp cotton wool rolls under the upper lip to mimic anterior repositioning of the maxilla.

Reading Lessons Planning With Students With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Mind: Needs-Based Assessment Proposal
Authors: Sánchez-Gómez Victoria , López-Cruz Mauricio , Amor Antonio M.
Published: September 2023

This study addresses the need to reinforce the reading learning of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in general education classrooms. A standardized way of assessing support needs in reading (SNr) from the teachers’ perspective is proposed. The objectives were (i) to develop an instrument and evaluate its properties and (ii) to preliminarily assess the support needs in reading of students with IDD. Participants were 86 Chilean elementary school teachers who responded about the support needs of their own students. The instrument assesses three dimensions (i.e., representation, engagement, and action and expression). Analyses showed excellent preliminary evidence of validity and reliability. Preliminarily identified support needs suggest that students need more support in representation. Practical and research implications are discussed.
Multipass wide-field phase imager

Published: September 2023

Advances in optical imaging always look for an increase in sensitivity and resolution among other practicability aspects. Within the same scope, in this work we report a versatile interference contrast imaging technique, with high phase sensitivity and a large field-of-view of several mm2. Sensitivity is increased through the use of a self-imaging non-resonant cavity, which causes photons to probe the sample in multiple rounds before being detected, where the configuration can be transmissive or reflective. Phase profiles can be resolved individually for each round thanks to a specially designed single-photon camera with time-of-flight capabilities and true pixels-off gating. Measurement noise is reduced by novel data processing combining the retrieved sample profiles from multiple rounds. Our protocol is especially useful under extremely low light conditions as required by biological or photo-sensitive samples. Results demonstrate more than a four-fold reduction in phase measurement noise, compared to single round imaging, and values close to the predicted sensitivity in case of the best possible cavity configuration, where all photons are maintained until n rounds. We also find good agreement with the theoretical predictions for low number of rounds, where experimental imperfections would play a minor role. The absence of a laser or cavity lock-in mechanism makes the technique an easy to use inspection tool.
Extended Kalman filtering for enhancing a cyclic pattern-updating scheme of single-pixel dynamic fluorescence spatial frequency domain imaging
Authors: Dan Mai , Zhang Yaru , Gao Feng
Published: September 2023

A single-pixel imaging technique applied to fluorescence spatial frequency domain imaging (f-SFDI) brings many positive benefits, but its low frame rate will also lead to severe quantitative degradation when dynamically imaging a vibrant target. This work presents a novel, to the best of our knowledge, single-pixel imaging approach that combines the extended Kalman filtering (EKF) and a cyclic one-pattern updating for an enhanced dynamic f-SFDI. The cyclic one-pattern updating scheme enables the dynamic imaging at a high frame rate, and on this basis, the imaging process of an intensity temporally varying target (assuming no structure motion in the scene) is dynamically modelled, and accordingly, the surface intensities and images at each sampling time point simultaneously estimated via the EKF. Simulation and phantom validations demonstrate that the method can improve the quantitative accuracy of the results. An in vivo experiment performed on two mice for dynamic monitoring of photosensitizer doses in a photodynamic therapy further demonstrates the clinical feasibility of the proposed method.
Linear coupling-related pulse splitting in fiber lasers
Authors: He Zhiwen , Du Yueqing , Zeng Chao , Tian Wei , Zhao Jianlin , Mao Dong
Published: September 2023

We demonstrate a unique pulse-splitting mechanism dominated by the linear coupling between two vector modes in a mode-locked fiber laser using polarization-maintaining fiber. As the linear coupling strength increases, the pulse experiences larger perturbations and manifests as stronger spectral sidebands. Correspondingly, the temporal pedestals possessing a higher intensity become untrapped and eventually evolve into a stable pulse. Such linear coupling-related pulse splitting is ubiquitous both in normal- and anomalous-dispersion regimes, fundamentally differing from that induced by the excessive nonlinear phase shift. Experimental observations fully sustain numerical results and provide a flexible approach to managing the number and energy of vector solitons.
Effective and efficient content-based similarity retrieval of large lung CT images based on WSSLN model
Authors: Zhuang Yi , Jiang Nan
Published: September 2023

The in-depth combination and application of AI technology and medical imaging, especially high- definition CT imaging technology, make accurate diagnosis and treatment possible. Retrieving similar CT image(CI)s to an input one from the large-scale CI database of labeled diseases is helpful to realize a precise computer-aided diagnosis. In this paper, we take lung CI as an example and propose progressive content-based similarity retrieval(CBSR) method of the lung CIs based on a Weakly Supervised Similarity Learning Network (WSSLN) model. Two enabling techniques (i.e., the WSSLN model and the distance- based pruning scheme) are proposed to facilitate the CBSR processing of the large lung CIs. The main result of our paper is that, our approach is about 45% more effective than the state-of-the-art methods in terms of the mean average precision(mAP). Moreover, for the retrieval efficiency, the WSSLN-based CBSR method is about 150% more efficient than the sequential scan.

Published: September 2023

This paper aims to analyze the roof stability when the reclaimed working face passes through abandoned roadway. The mechanical model of main roof in abandoned roadway was established for the purpose of theoretical analyses. To ensure the stability of the abandoned roadway, the strength formula of backfill body was deduced. The optimum ratios among different compositions of the filling material were determined by experiment, while the viscosity, bleeding, hydration temperature and compressive strength of filling material were also studied. Test results indicated that the optimum ratio among coal ash, lime and compound activator is 80:15:5, and the ideal water cement ratio is 0.7:1. It was also found that no bleeding occurred, the rheological behavior of slurry presented shear thinning fluid and the hydration temperature of filling body was relatively stable which is mainly maintained at 40°C. The uniaxial compressive strength of filling material with 28 and 90 days curing were 3.35 and 6.62 MPa respectively. Under a confining pressure environment, the filling material presented an obviously plastic deformation. Field test showed that the filling rate was almost 100%, when working face passed through abandoned roadway, the surface of filled body was complete and no roof collapse was triggered. Therefore, a better bonding effect was proved for the filling body.

Authors: Tong Duong Huu , Uyen Bui Phuong , Ngan Lu Kim
Published: September 2023

Introduction

In recent decades, especially in higher education, blended learning has become the most commonly used active teaching strategy. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, blended learning, which combines face-to-face and online components, is believed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional teaching methods, particularly in face-to-face interactions. Based on PRISMA guidelines, this study follows the protocol for a systematic review of blended learning applications in mathematics teacher education. This systematic review study aims to comprehend the potential of blended learning for various mathematical topics, the common blended learning models, and the benefits and challenges this teaching approach presents for educational stakeholders.

Methods

Searches will be performed in various electronic databases, including Scopus, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis Online, Mendeley, Google Scholar, and ERIC. Selected studies that satisfy the inclusion criteria will document the use of various blended learning models in a range of mathematical topics as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this method of instruction. The data extraction process will be carried out independently by various authors, and the results of the data synthesis will be reported per the chosen studies, methodological considerations, and key findings.

Discussion

This review will provide information about the application of blended learning and its benefits and challenges in mathematics teacher education to support educational stakeholders in mathematics teacher education.
The effect of motivational and instructional self-talk on attentional control under noise distraction
Authors: Yang Liu , Wang Yingchun
Published: September 2023

Inhibition is the key factor of attentional control (AC). Basketball players are typically exposed to noise from the audience or opposing teams while competing. These distractions disrupt the attentional systems, ultimately compromise the athletes’ inhibition ability and directly affect their performance on the court. Hence, effective AC strategies are crucial. Two studies were demonstrated to investigate the effects of noise distractions on attentional control and the moderating effect of self-talk. In Study 1, 36 participants undertook the Stroop task, showing an increased error rate with noise distraction. Thirty-nine national second-level basketball players participated in Study 2, where they engaged in the Antisaccade task under both quiet and noise-distraction conditions, employing different self-talk strategies. Results showed that instructional self-talk reduced the antisaccade error rate in quiet conditions, while motivational self-talk increased the error rate under noise distractions. These findings suggests that noise distraction reduces AC. In competition scenarios, basketball players are required to appropriately implement self-talk strategies to improve AC and prevent potential counterproductive effects.

Considering the arts in school assessment in the United States: An investigation of engagement and hope
Authors: Hunter-Doniger Tracey , Wilson Kim
Published: September 2023

Arts education advocacy in the United States often relies on arts education research for its arguments, yet significant policy changes supporting arts education are inconsistent from state to state. This article highlights the investigation of a US Gallup Student Poll on South Carolina arts-rich schools. More specifically, the study focuses on how states determine a school’s effectiveness and can be held accountable for the ideals of a whole-child education instead of using the narrow lens of test scores. The authors delve into two poll categories that had significance for these schools. Engagement and hope stood out as convincing measures for the arts. The data presented in this article provide a persuasive argument for how the arts can account for school effectiveness. Although the project is closely related to schools in the United States, it is presumed that results from this study are relevant for colleagues in other countries as well, where similar accountability measures prevail.

Engaging Malaysia: Greening Postcolonial Memories in The Garden of Evening Mists
Authors: Ahmed Mohsen Hamoud Yahya , Mohd Mydin Raihanah , Othamn Wan Mazlini
Published: September 2023

The Garden of Evening Mists is a symbolically charged historical narrative about the ramifications of Japanese colonisation in Malaya in the 1940s. A prominent metaphor in this novel is ‘the garden’ in memorium of the protagonist’s deceased sister. This article explores the greening of postcolonial memories of the Japanese colonisation of Malaya in the novel and its deep engagement of Malaysian framed within the social, political and historical contexts. Using postcolonial ecocriticism as a reading lens, the analysis is carried out to be emblematically functional across the limitations of space and time in the country’s colonial history. The analysis displays that the author, Tan Twan Eng, through his authorial-defined social reality, re-enacts numerous snapshots from the Malaysia ecosystem in order to achieve a coherent engagement of Malaysia pre, during and post Japanese occupation. The finding also reveals that while Tan’s narrative provides us with some insights into the ways in which the Malaysians navigate various colonial and postcolonial consequences, it should also be recognized that the ecology of the land adds to the narrative. Through the intersection of the Malaysian landscape and the country’s historical context, the current article reveal how postcolonial ecocriticism is instrumental in understanding the literary canon of Malaysia.
Kontribusi ekonomi remitansi bagi pembangunan desa: Studi kasus pedagang warung tegal di Jakarta Selatan
Authors: Hidayatulloh Nur Ali , Hidayat Rakhmat
Published: September 2023

Warung Tegal or warteg (a food stall with cheap food) is a local economic phenomenon that is rapidly growing in the Jakarta area, particularly for the lower middle-class society. This growth is due to the connection between warteg business and remittances sent to their hometowns. This paper aims to (i) explain the informal economy of warteg traders who provide economic opportunities for other migrants in Jakarta, (ii) describe the remittances economy of warteg traders to their families in their hometowns, and (iii) explain the economic contribution of remittances to the development of migrants' origin villages. This research uses a qualitative approach with case studies of warteg traders around Bangka IX, Pela Mampang, and Mampang Prapatan. Data were obtained by direct observation that was carried out from March 2016 to January 2017. The interviewees include five warteg traders who sell in the Pela Mampang region, as well as the children of the traders and village officials of Dukuhjati Kidul, Tegal. The results of the study show that warteg can increase the wealth of migrant families. Remittances serve as a form of social bonding and responsibility to their families. They are used for consumption and productive activities, such as building houses that are considered a symbol of success in running warteg.

Published: September 2023

We evaluated whether anserine, a methylated analog of the dipeptide carnosine, is present in the cardiac and skeletal muscles of humans and whether the CARNMT1 gene, which encodes the anserine synthesizing enzyme carnosine‐N‐methyltransferase, is expressed in human skeletal muscle. We found that anserine is present at low concentrations (low micromolar range) in both cardiac and skeletal muscles, and that anserine content in skeletal muscle is ~15 times higher than in cardiac muscle (cardiac muscle: 10.1 ± 13.4 μmol·kg−1 of dry muscle, n = 12; skeletal muscle: 158.1 ± 68.5 μmol·kg−1 of dry muscle, n = 11, p < 0.0001). Anserine content in the heart was highly variable between individuals, ranging from 1.4 to 45.4 μmol·kg−1 of dry muscle, but anserine content was not associated with sex, age, or body mass. We also showed that CARNMT1 gene is poorly expressed in skeletal muscle (n = 10). This is the first study to demonstrate that anserine is present in the ventricle of the human heart. The presence of anserine in human heart and the confirmation of its expression in human skeletal muscle open new avenues of investigation on the specific and differential physiological functions of histidine dipeptides in striated muscles.

Published: September 2023

Despite the relevance of forests to biodiversity and climate change, education and careers related to them are still unattractive to young people. This paper presents findings from a study whose goal is to investigate the motivation and career aspirations of students in forest-related
programmes at the university/tertiary level around the globe. The analysis is based on data gathered through a survey of 787 bachelor's, master's, and PhD students from 82 countries. The findings reveal that the choice of forest-related programmes by students is guided by (i) the desire to
do beneficial work, specifically to make a positive difference for the environment/communities, (ii) job satisfaction, e. g., enjoyable work, and (iii) working outdoors. With regard to career pathways, students were most interested in working in forest-related nature and biodiversity conservation
and least interested in forest-related industry and non-forest-related fields. The study found significant differences across continents regarding student preferences but only a few across study levels and gender. This paper provides useful insights that can help in tailoring forest-related
programmes to meet the expectations of the students and universities.
LncRNA LINC00592 mediates the promoter methylation of WIF1 to promote the development of bladder cancer
Authors: Wu Tieqiu , Li Nannan , Wu Xinghui , Du Yongchao , Tang Zhiwang
Published: September 2023

Epigenetic alteration is a key feature that contributes to the progression of bladder cancer (BC) and long non-coding RNAs serve crucial role in the epigenetic modulation. This study was designed to explore the epigenetic regulation of LINC00592 in BC. LINC00592 expression in BC was examined. Then, LINC00592 was silenced in BC cell followed by cell behavior analyses using CCK-8, transwell, western blot, or flow cytometry. Potential downstream target of LINC00592 was explored using RNA pull-down assay and methylation of WIF1 was determined using methylated-specific PCR. In addition, WIF1 or/and LINC00592 were silenced in BC cells followed by cell behavior analyses to explore the regulation between them. Upregulation of LINC00592 was significantly detected in BC tissues and cells. In BC cells silencing LINC00592 suppressed the proliferation, migration, and epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMT), but enhanced apoptosis. Moreover, LINC00592 recruited DNMT1, DNMT3A, and DNMT3B to enhance WIF1 promoter methylation. In addition, WIF1 overexpression suppressed the proliferation, migration, as well as EMT, but enhanced apoptosis. Silencing WIF1 significantly attenuated the role of silencing LINC00592 in suppressing the proliferative, migratory, and EMT ability of BC cells, and increasing the apoptosis. LINC00592 promoted the growth and metastasis of BC via enhancing the promoter methylation of WIF1 and decreasing WIF1 transcription.

Background:

Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel) is a preparation widely used in chemotherapy for cancers. However, only some patients benefit from this treatment. Therefore, identifying which patients will respond to nab-paclitaxel therapy is crucial.

Methods:

A cohort of 32 patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) treated with nab-paclitaxel were enrolled in this study. Plasma samples were collected before chemotherapy and used to perform metabolomic and lipidomic analyses. Tumor response to two cycles of chemotherapy was evaluated. Metabolites differentially present among populations were screened and analyzed.

Results:

According to the RECIST criteria, one-third of patients had a significant response to nab-paclitaxel, whereas one-fifth showed no discernible benefit. According to the criteria of variable importance in projection >1 and fold change >2, we identified 61, 81 and 54 differential metabolites between the progressive disease (PD) vs partial response (PR), PD vs stable disease (SD), and SD vs PR groups, respectively. Moreover, we used three variation in logistic regression models and ROC diagnostic curves to identify optimal metabolites for stratifying patients with differing chemotherapeutic responses. The PD vs SD, SD vs PR, and PD vs PR groups were well separated on the basis of cis-9,10-epoxystearic acid/octapentaenoic acid (AUC 0.9330), salicyluric acid/DG (18:1/20:5/0:0) (AUC 1.0000) and D-glyceric acid/9,12-octadecadienoic acid (AUC 1.0000), respectively.

Conclusion:

The baseline metabolic profiles significantly differed between responder and non-responder patients with LUSC treated with nab-paclitaxel. These differential metabolites have the potential to predict the outcomes of patients with LUSC before chemotherapy.

The Distributed Generator of a Photovoltaic System (DGPVS) is an essential factor for future power plant generation, and it can be created by connecting multiple small power plant generators in a microgrid system. This paper focuses on the overcurrent protection of a three-phase grid-connected inverter (3P-GCI) under voltage sag conditions in sustaining connection loss between the 3P-GCI and the primary grid, which involves voltage instability. The ancillary service shows more advantage in overcurrent protection during voltage sags, which limits the generated current under sag duration. Its service can protect the inverter and avoid more disturbances to the primary grid because the 3P-GCI remains connected. Proposed LVRT strategy with limit current feature play the role to protect 3P-GCI under voltage sag. In the normal grid, the 3P-GCI can inject 302W of active power with a power factor (PF) equal to one. 1.4% of VTHD and 4.3% of ITHD shows the performance of the proposed system. Meanwhile, the 3P-GCI injects 239VAr reactive power and reduces injected active power to 135W which is essential to remain connected to the primary grid during voltage sags and limit the generated current. The validation results show that this prototype successfully compensates for the grid voltage drops by injecting 239Var of reactive power and limiting its generated current to 1.592A.
Nitric acid-alkali two-stage pulping of wheat straw, industrial hemp, and Miscanthus x giganteus
Authors: Danielewicz Dariusz
Published: September 2023

Index levels of the process of pulping wheat straw (WS), industrial hemp stalks (HS), and Miscanthus × giganteus (MS) using the nitric acid-alkali (NA−A) method (HNO3/KOH and HNO3/NH4OH two-stage sequential delignification systems) were determined. The research showed, as a rule, a lower total yield of NA−A pulps than kraft pulps from WS, HS, and MS, and a lower level of the tensile index and tear resistance compared to the properties of soda-AQ and kraft pulps presented in other studies, as well as the author’s own studies. Additionally, the levels of nitrogen (in different forms) and potassium in the combined post-pulping filtrate were determined. Their levels were found to be higher than in the fertilizer solution used to fertilize tomato crops grown on soilless substrates in greenhouses. However, application of filtrates from pulping of nonwoody plant straw using NA-A method requires determining the effectiveness of this type of fertilizer solution, its impact on the horticulture and agriculture plants, and the properties of their output including grains, tubers, and fruits.
Tradición en transición. Una genealogía de la Nueva Música Colombiana en clave de rock
Authors: García González David Fernando
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: proponer una genealogía de las prácticas y los discursos que le han dado forma a la nueva música colombiana, uno de los fenómenos musicales y culturales más relevantes de las últimas décadas en Colombia. Para ello se analizan las prácticas musicales y discursivas de grupos pioneros del rock en Colombia en los años sesenta y setenta, con la intención de encontrar en el repertorio histórico del rock colombiano pistas para entender mejor las “novedades” de hoy. Metodología: lo anterior se realiza a partir de la revisión de fuentes primarias, como canciones, carátulas de discos y prensa especializada y mediante entrevistas a músicos colombianos. Originalidad: este texto contribuye a llenar un vacío en los estudios sobre música popular en Colombia, en particular sobre la NMC, mostrando conexiones entre grupos y músicos de varias generaciones, con lo cual se controvierten los discursos que la presentan como un fenómeno absolutamente novedoso y sin antecedentes. Conclusiones: tras evidenciar conexiones entre repertorios musicales de diferentes épocas, se argumenta que la marcación con la etiqueta “nuevo” ha sido una constante en el mercado musical colombiano, empleada con frecuencia para referirse a las “fusiones”, que de ninguna manera son exclusivas de la NMC. Así mismo, se muestran las influencias de grupos de los setenta, como Banda Nueva y Cascabel, en músicos y grupos que dieron forma a la NMC a finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI.
¡A la guerra por la democracia! Controversias sobre el sufragio previas a la Guerra de los Mil Días
Authors: Rodríguez Franco Adriana
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: analizar las críticas esgrimidas por un sector del liberalismo colombiano a la legislación electoral producida por la coalición del Partido Nacional durante la Regeneración, la cual reducía la democracia a la imposición de las mayorías. Metodología: el texto se basa en el examen de los distintos discursos, manifestaciones y publicaciones de los personajes públicos de distintas corrientes partidistas, entre los que se destacan el proyecto constitucional propuesto por liberales de oposición y redactado por Rafael Rocha Gutiérrez, así como las intervenciones de Rafael Uribe Uribe. Originalidad: la historiografía política colombiana no ha puesto de relieve la manera como los liberales opositores a la Regeneración reaccionaron a la imposición de un sistema electoral diseñado para impedir que alcanzaran representatividad en las corporaciones públicas o recuperaran el Ejecutivo ni ha visto que esta desatención del gobierno a las propuestas para reformar las leyes terminó por ratificar a los liberales belicistas en que la única manera para recuperar el poder era el levantamiento armado. Conclusiones: al poco tiempo de ser instituido por una coalición bipartidista que se reunió en el Partido Nacional, el sistema electoral de la Constitución de 1886 demostró su carácter excluyente. Ello hizo evidente que la lectura tanto del gobierno regenerador como de la oposición estaba principalmente atravesada por su necesidad de garantizar su representación política y no por asuntos como la expansión del derecho al sufragio. De hecho, la propuesta de los liberales en relación con este punto se basaba en la cualificación del ciudadano elector.

Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a genetic disorder affecting anatomical structures with an ectodermal origin. The consequent alveolar bone anomalies and lack of teeth require a multidisciplinary approach to rehabilitate patients function and esthetics. To avoid bone grafting procedures the application of zygomatic implants was suggested for the upper jaw treatment. The advancements in three-dimensional (3D) radiology and the introduction of digital implant planning software could enhance the approach to zygomatic implants in ED patients. The present case report describes the quad zygomatic implant treatment of the edentulous maxilla of an ED patient by means of computer guided implant surgery. The patient reported previous failure of bone grafting procedures in the upper jaw. The implants were immediately loaded with a screw-retained complete-arch resin prosthesis. The patient was followed up for 1 year with no biological nor mechanical complications reported, but a slight bone resorption in the anterior zone was observed. Zygomatic implants could be a potential alternative treatment to bone grafting in upper jaw and the digital implant planning could enhance the surgical procedure.
