Effect of vitamin D intake on quality of life parameters in office workers
Authors: Sharman A. T. , Adambekov Sh. K. , Imandosova A. A. , Elemesova G. F.
Published: July 2021

Objective: to study the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and analyze the results of therapy in office workers, including an assessment of the quality of life.

Material and methods. An observational non-interventional cross-sectional, cohort, prospective phase IV clinical study included office workers (151 people, age 18–44 years), who were prescribed an aqueous solution of vitamin D. The concentration of 25(OH)D in the blood of patients was measured before and after undergoing treatment. The duration of therapy, depending on the degree of deficiency, was 4 or 8 weeks. The SF-36 scale was used to assess the physiological and psychological status.

Results. In 75.5% of the study participants, a insufficiency or deficiency of vitamin D was detected. Differences in the average content of 25(OH)D in blood serum before and after treatment with vitamin D were statistically significant. The level of vitamin D in blood serum, measured by the content of its metabolite 25(OH)D <30 ng/ml, is regarded as suboptimal, i.e. its insufficiency occurs, and <20 ng/ml – as vitamin D deficiency (p<0.0001). The SF-36 score showed significant statistically significant improvements in overall health, physical functioning, and pain in individuals with vitamin D deficiency after vitamin D supplementation. The use of multiple linear regression demonstrated an association of serum 25(OH)D levels with vitamin D-rich foods taken less than once a week.

Conclusions. Vitamin D deficiency is very common among office workers: 75.5% had D 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/ml. Vitamin D deficiency is corrected by taking this vitamin. Vitamin D supplementation helps to improve physical and mental health indicators. Serum 25(ОН)D levels are associated with intake of vitamin D-rich foods and duration of vitamin D treatment.

Published: July 2021

Objective: scientific rationale of changing approaches to medical care payment for hospitalization of patients suffering from severe asthma (SA) that require the prescription of biologic disease-modifying drugs (bDMDs) within the constraints of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs) on the level of the Moscow Region.

Material and methods. For the federal model regional adaptation, the authors used the mechanism of subgroups selection in the structure of basic DRG No. 336 st36.003 and No. 139 ds36.004 “Treatment with biologic disease-modifying drugs and selective immunosuppressants” in the round-the-clock (RH) and day-time hospital (DH). Budget impact analysis (BIA) was performed to provide scientific and economic feasibility for the improvement of medical care payment for bDMDs proscribed to patients with SA within DRG at the level of the Moscow Region.

Results. The analysis of cost of drug therapy and medical services per 1 case of hospitalization of patients with SA, that required bDMDs therapy, considering the classification criterion (international nonproprietary name of drugs and drug therapy regimens), showed 10 subgroups in DRG No. 336 st36.003 (level 1) and 9 subgroups in DRG No. 139 ds36.004. Expert estimates on the rate of hospitalizations and drug dosage regimen indicated for patients with SA were used to calculate the relative cost weights (CW). The highest CW was observed in the subgroup that received benralizumab in RH (CW=7.46) and in DH (CW=12.08) conditions. BIA demonstrated 110,103,901.53 rubles (or 31%) budget savings for the health care system of the Moscow Region.

Conclusion. The implementation of the adapted DRG federal model in the conditions of the health care system of Moscow Region is an economically feasible approach to the organization of the inpatient medical care provided to patients with SA needing bDMDs prescription.
Ordered Partial Correlation Networks in Psychological Research
Authors: Artemenkov S.L.
Published: July 2021

Network modeling, which has emerged in recent years, can be successfully applied to the consideration of relationships between measurable psychological variables. In this context, psychological variables are understood as directly affecting each other, and not as a consequence of a latent construct. The article describes regularization methods that can be used to effectively assess the sparse and interpretable network structure based on partial correlations of psychological indicators. An overview of the glasso regularization procedure using EBIC model selection for evaluating an ordered sparse network of partial correlations is presented. The issues of performing this analysis in R in the presence of normal and non-normal data distribution are considered, taking into account the influence of the hyperparameter, which is manually set by the researcher. The considered approach is also interesting as a way to visualize possible causal connections between variables. This review bridges the gap related to the lack of an accessible description in Russian of this approach, which is still uncommon in Russia and at the same time promising.
Use of Social Media for Effective Library and Information Services among University Students: A Study
Authors: Das Arijit , Sarkar Arindam
Published: July 2021

Information communication technology (ICT) plays a key role in the transmission of information between each other. Social networking sites are good examples of a network of communication and it is a good social structural way that allows the user to interact and work with other users. WhatsApp and Facebook are two very popular social media that very much help users to interact each other via text, image, audio, video messaging. This paper was based on a survey that measured the usability of Facebook and WhatsApp for service delivery to the library. An online questionnaire was used to collect information from the respondents. The findings indicated that respondents showed a positive attitude towards the services of library through Facebook and WhatsApp.
Library Carpentry: Towards a New Professional Dimension (Part II – Automatic Authority Control to Enhance Retrieval)
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Parthasarathi , Mukhopadhyay Mondrita
Published: July 2021

Authority control for bibliographic data management in Indian libraries is generally a neglected area and thereby library OPACs of the country (including OPAC of the National Library) supports only the finding function of a catalogue and not the collocating function. In this context, the part II of the three part series on library carpentry (part I has been published in April issue) is an attempt to apply library carpentry methods in building authority datasets from scratch. It deals with the methodologies for developing authority datasets by applying data wrangling techniques and subsequent transformations of these datasets into ready-to-import MARC 21 format (for authority data). Like the previous part of the series, this research study is also represented through a case study. The case study narrates development of geographic name authority datasets for - states and union territories (level I), districts of India (level II), sub-districts (level III) and community development blocks of India (level IV). It also demonstrates that how the merged geographic name authority file for India can be implemented in an open source ILS and can become instrumental in enhancing retrieval efficiency through geodetic search feature in an open source library discovery system. It concludes that the proposed mechanisms and methodology (supported with proofs of the concept) may lead to a new era of authority-controlled cataloguing in Indian libraries.
Um relógio na sala: tempo, alegoria e história em Avalovara
Authors: Couto Torres Pedro Henrique
Published: July 2021

Analisa-se o fragmento P, “O Relógio de Julius Heckethorn”, do romance Avalovara, de Osman Lins (1924 – 1978), publicado em 1973, a fim de enfocar o caráter alegórico que a linha representa para a totalidade poética do romance. Ensaiamos demonstrar como, tematicamente, a página inicial do livro é uma espécie de pista cifrada, enfocando-se um objeto ali descrito, um relógio, que reverbera em outras instâncias textuais da trama de Osman Lins e representa uma alegoria da arte de escrever romances. Faz-se uma breve contextualização da história de relógios e noções científico-filosóficas de tempo/temporalidade. (POMIAN, 1993). Também, valemo-nos da discussão sobre as aporias do tempo e sua relação poética. (RICOEUR, 1994; 2010). Por fim, argumentamos que o romance anuncia, inserido na poética osmaniana, uma resposta não soteriológica e não escatológica da História. O texto de Lins se apoia no tantra, no encontro não binarista dos corpos: o gozo, também tematicamente trabalhado no romance, coloca o Amor como gravidade em torno da qual a Política se presentifica.
O anjo da História tem corpo de mulher
Authors: Carvalho Camila
Published: July 2021

Guiada pela inteligibilidade de um corpo-memória que recupera o passado revelando sua latência no presente, em Jamais o fogo nunca (2007) Diamela Eltit propõe, de forma literariamente política, uma releitura histórica da ditatura militar chilena de um modo, fundamentalmente, feminino. Neste romance, uma mulher sem nome rememora episódios passados ao mesmo tempo em que examina a banalidade do presente que compartilha com seu companheiro, a imagem degradada de uma liderança militante autoritária. Por meio desse corpo-ruína, que interpela o desaparecimento de um projeto político, revelando suas contradições internas, Jamais o fogo nunca expõe a relação dialética que une passado e presente para retirar do silenciamento a hierarquia de gênero que estruturou tanto o moralismo do Estado quanto as organizações militantes. Ao aproximar-se da ditadura militar por meio do escrutínio da masculina militância, o romance questiona a falocêntrica racionalidade e elabora um tipo de aproximação ao passado que, como colocou Walter Benjamin nas teses que compõem seu “Sobre o conceito de História” (1940), alia rememoração e redenção. Neste artigo, interessa-nos investigar em que medida esse gesto – que coloca em xeque os lugares hegemônicos do saber – possibilita ao romance de Eltit postar-se como uma instância dissensual de pensamento.
Deonticidade nos discursos de Donald Trump
Authors: Batista Victória Glenda Lopes , Prata Nadja Paulino Pessoa , De Menezes Léia Cruz
Published: July 2021

Neste trabalho, objetivamos descrever e analisar as expressões modalizadoras deônticas constitutivas de discursos do presidente Donald Trump, sob um enfoque funcionalista, conforme os postulados de Hengeveld (2004) e Hengeveld e Mackenzie (2008). Para compreensão da categoria modalidade, trabalharemos com a Gramática Discursivo-Funcional (GDF), que busca integrar os aspectos sintáticos, semânticos e pragmáticos. Partindo da compreensão de que as expressões modalizadoras deônticas estão a serviço da argumentação, tomaremos também o conceito de ethos da Análise do Discurso (AD) para compreensão do ethos do presidente Trump, construído discursivamente. Nosso corpus é constituído por quatro discursos, traduzidos para a língua espanhola, proferidos pelo presidente Donald Trump após sua posse e divulgados nas mídias sociais digitais. Empreendemos leitura dos discursos, conforme os seguintes aspectos: (i) contextuais: qual o tema do discurso e o tipo de público para o qual o presidente se dirige; (ii) semânticos: qual o valor semântico instaurado e a fonte da avaliação modal; e (iii) discursivos: que tipo de ethos é projetado pelo falante. Observamos que os discursos direcionados a um público amplo, portanto mais heterogêneo, favorecem a construção de valores deônticos atenuados, corroborando à construção de um ethos presidenciável não-autoritário. Por sua vez, os discursos destinados ao povo norte-americano, cuja temática é a plataforma de governo de Trump, favorecem a construção de valores deônticos asseverados, construindo, assim, uma imagem autoritária. Constatamos que o valor semântico de obrigação e a fonte deôntica do tipo enunciador foram as mais frequentes.
Construcción de la imagen colectiva de grupos a favor del Acuerdo de paz de Colombia en Twitter
Authors: Bonilla-Neira Laura Cristina
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo analiza la construcción del ethos colectivo de grupos a favor del Acuerdo de paz en Twitter. Con el avance de las negociaciones y la posibilidad de un cierre del Acuerdo se formaron varios grupos de iniciativas ciudadanas para promover la paz. La ciudadanía encontró espacios de participación en las redes sociales que antes no tenía con los medios masivos, razón por la cual se desplegó una amplia discursividad en estas plataformas, particularmente en Twitter. Allí desplegaron una imagen de sí como grupo a favor de la paz y así mismo, reelaboraron su ethos ante los ataques de quienes se oponían al Acuerdo. Desde el marco del análisis del discurso francófono y la argumentación en el discurso, se señala la construcción del nosotros como estrategia de ampliación del colectivo y el uso de algunos procedimientos retórico-argumentativos para retrabajar el ethos ante situaciones polémicas y ataques del adversario político. El estudio permite evidenciar las estrategias que permitieron la construcción de un colectivo que posteriormente se consolidaría como la opción política por el Sí a la paz en el plebiscito de 2016.
retórica da intransigência e a campanha de desinformação em fake news sobre a pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: De Lima João Paulo Eufrazio
Published: July 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a estrutura argumentativa de fake news sobre o Covid-19, procurando verificar sua força argumentativa e sua capacidade de persuasão. Tomamos por base para nossa análise os conceitos de A retórica da intransigência de Hirschman (1992), de Ethos e Pathos da Retórica de Aristóteles (1998) e Tratado da argumentação. A nova retórica de Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (1996). Nossa metodologia baseou-se na análise de três fake news relacionadas à campanha negacionista contra a Pandemia de Covid-19, cada uma tomada como prototípica das categorias levantadas por Hirschman (1992): a Tese da Perversidade, a Tese da Futilidade e a Tese do Medo. Os resultados obtidos indicam que as fake news devem ser entendidas como um fenômeno inerentemente digital que se utiliza de estratégias argumentativas bem elaboradas, segundo seu objetivo de suscitar o descrédito e a dúvida da opinião pública. Portanto, levando-se em conta o cidadão médio, podemos dizer que as fake news têm uma grande capacidade persuasiva e por isso devem ser encaradas como algo de extremo perigo para a sociedade e seus princípios democráticos e científicos.
propósito da indignação
Authors: Moura Leandro Silva
Published: July 2021

Como observa Alexandre Júnior (1998), no prefácio da Retórica, houve uma explosão dos estudos retóricos nas últimas décadas. Nesse sentido, muitos estudiosos do discurso têm voltado seus olhares para as questões de retórica, muitas vezes seguindo os passos de Aristóteles, que a define como a arte da persuasão, além de observar que se trata da contraparte da dialética, hoje entendida como argumentação. Em 2007, Meyer, para quem a retórica é a negociação das diferenças entre indivíduos, recupera a clássica oposição aristotélica, pontuando que não é possível privilegiar retórica ou dialética. Em vez disso, é preciso buscar caminhos para unificá-las, evidenciando que ambas, na verdade, fazem parte de uma mesma disciplina. Aristóteles argumenta que o orador atinge seu objetivo, ou seja, alcança a persuasão, quando se vale da virtude, da prudência e da benevolência. Esses elementos têm relação com as emoções, definidas por ele como “causas que fazem alterar os seres humanos e introduzem mudanças nos seus juízos, na medida em que comportam dor e prazer” (ARISTÓTELES, 1998, p. 106). Apesar de Aristóteles evidenciar o lugar das emoções no discurso, alguns estudos modernos tendem a negligenciar o domínio do pathos. Desse modo, discutiremos o papel da emoção, especialmente da indignação, na negociação das distâncias em comentários sobre um crime de feminicídio, uma vez que estes são terras férteis para a expressão de diversas emoções. Pretendemos, neste trabalho, verificar em que medida a indignação constitui-se como estratégia argumentativa, aproximando ou afastando ainda mais os sujeitos que participam das trocas simbólicas em redes sociais.
Bolsonaro e o jornalismo em conflito midiático
Authors: De Mello Renata Aiala
Published: July 2021

Desde sua posse como Presidente da República do Brasil, em 2018, presenciamos recorrentes ataques recíprocos entre Jair Messias Bolsonaro e algumas instituições midiáticas. Ambos os protagonistas se afrontam em interações digitais muitas vezes exacerbadas. Nesse ínterim, eles acabam retroalimentando a imagem de si e do outro, valendo-se de recursos argumentativos carregados de pathemias, na tentativa de persuadir o público com suas opiniões, suas verdades e seus posicionamentos ideológicos distintos. Por um lado, uma parte do jornalismo noticia a insensatez dos discursos e o despautério das ações do presidente. Por outro, Bolsonaro defende-se acusando a mídia de tendenciosa e mentirosa. Essa querela leva Bolsonaro, a mídia e o público a se envolver, a questionar os discursos uns dos outros e a (se) interpelar em suas crenças e paixões e, por espelhamento, a forjar sua própria identidade coletiva. Considerando esse cenário conflituoso e polarizado, propomos, com o instrumental teórico fornecido pela Análise do Discurso, pela Retórica e pela Argumentação, uma reflexão a respeito da permanente reconstrução das identidades das instâncias enunciativas e o uso estratégico das emoções enquanto estrutura retórico-argumentativa para tocar os seus respectivos públicos. Diante do vasto material disponível, selecionamos como corpus quatro matérias jornalísticas online e sete postagens presidenciais em redes sociais publicadas nos últimos dois anos (2019-2020). Ao final deste artigo, teremos demonstrado que os protagonistas se valem do discurso argumentativo para, cada um à sua maneira, forjar seus éthé, justificar seus posicionamentos político-ideológicos, confrontar o outro e persuadir o público para as suas causas.
Usos argumentativos de “pero” em meios digitais espanhóis
Authors: Pedro Carolina da Costa , Garcia Talita Storti
Published: July 2021

Neste artigo, pretende-se apresentar uma análise dos usos de pero encontrados em um corpus do espanhol escrito em meios digitais. O aparato teórico-metodológico utilizado é o modelo da Gramática Discursivo-Funcional – GDF (HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008). De acordo com a gramática da Real Academia Española (RAE, 2009), pero é uma conjunção coordenativa que relaciona duas orações opostas, que se contrapõem. Do ponto de vista da GDF, essas duas unidades configuram Atos Discursivos em relação desigual, que engendram função retórica Concessão. O falante apresenta um Ato para conceder uma informação a fim de, em seguida, apresentar outro Ato que considera argumentativamente mais relevante. Alguns usos encontrados neste estudo, no entanto, fogem dessa interpretação. O corpus selecionado consiste em dados de blogs extraídos do CORPES (Corpus del Español del Siglo XXI), da Real Academia Española. Verificou-se que pero, além de ser utilizado na camada mais alta do Nível Interpessoal (o Ato Discursivo), introduz Movimentos e ainda enfatiza um Subato anteriormente apresentado, sendo um elemento muito importante do ponto de vista argumentativo.
A demokráciával való elégedettség és a demokrácia értelmezése Magyarországon
Authors: Susánszky Pál , Szabó Andrea , Oross Dániel
Published: July 2021

A tanulmány célja egyfelől a politikai attitűdök vizsgálatakor a Részvétel, képviselet, pártosság (NKFI119603) kutatás adatain keresztül a demokráciára vonatkozó asszociációk elemzése, a fogalom hazai értelmezése mögötti összefüggések vizsgálata, valamint a politikai meggyőződésből, a gazdasági teljesítmény értékeléséből, illetve a demográfiai különbségekből adódó eltérések feltárása. Másfelől, bemutatjuk a demokráciával való elégedettség, és a pártos polarizáció időbeli változását Európában, felhasználva az European Social Survey (ESS) adatait. Eredményeink, a pártos polarizációs elméleteknek megfelelően igazolják, hogy a demokráciával való elégedettség politikai preferencia függvénye is: a kormánypárti szavazók jóval elégedettebbek a demokráciával, mint az ellenzékiek. Ez a különbség a vizsgált európai országok körében Magyarországon kiemelkedően nagy, ráadásul az elmúlt években folyamatosan növekszik is. Azonban nemcsak a demokráciával való elégedettség esetén, hanem a demokrácia értelmezése vonatkozásában is érvényesül a pártosság. A kormánypárti szavazók más szavakkal, szókapcsolatokkal írták le a demokráciát, mint a 2018 nyarán erősen kiábrándultnak tűnő ellenzéki szavazók.

Bütçe açığı ile enflasyon arasındaki karşılıklı ilişki, kamu maliyesi literatüründe yüksek öneme haiz olan tar-tışmalı konu başlıklarından bir tanesidir. İlgili çerçevede, makroekonomik göstergelerden bir tanesi olan enf-lasyonu düşük seviyelerde tutmak ise zaman ve coğrafyadan bağımsız olarak tüm hükümetlerin öncelikli hedeflerinden olmasından ötürü; bütçe açıklarının enflasyon üzerindeki etkileri de önem kazanmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada Avrupa’nın yükselen ekonomilerinden Bulgaristan, Hırvatistan, Çekya, Macaristan, Polonya, Romanya, Slovakya ve Slovenya’da bütçe açıklarının enflasyon üzerindeki kısa ve uzun dönem etkileri 1999-2019 dönemi verileri ile panel ARDL yöntemi ile araştırılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı bütçe açıklarının enflasyon üzerindeki kısa ve uzun dönem etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Panel ARDL yöntemi ile ya-pılan tahmin sonuçlarına göre çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturan ülkelerde bütçe açıkları kısa dönemde azal-tıcı etkide bulunurken, uzun dönemde ise artırıcı niteliktedir.

Background: This study provides an overview of diabetic ulcer infection, antibiotic susceptibility patterns, the most common types of antibiotics, factors influence in antibiotics administrations, and verifying the guideline used of antibiotics.Methods: The research used descriptive analysis combined with interviews. The study was starting from February-March 2021. Eighty-six diabetic ulcer patients were selected considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We interviewed seven doctors.Results: 71 bacterias were found with a gram-negative bacteria count of 80.3%- higher than gram-positive bacteria (19.7%). The most common gram-negative bacteria found are Escherichia coli (12.7%) and show the most heightened sensitivity with imipenem (80.7%), while cefuroxime and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole show the highest resistance (64.9%). The most common gram-positive bacteria found are Staphylococcus aureus (14.1%), and vancomycin shows the most heightened sensitivity (100%), while penicillin shows the highest resistance (71.4%). The most common single antibiotic administration was ceftriaxone, as well as a combination of two antibiotics, namely ceftriaxone and metronidazole.Conclusions: Escherichia coli was the most gram-negative bacteria, which has the highest sensitivity with imipenem, while Staphylococcus aureus was the most gram-positive bacteria, which has the most heightened sensitivity with vancomycin. The most common single antibiotic administration was ceftriaxone, as well as a combination of two antibiotics, ceftriaxone and metronidazole. Factors that influence antibiotics administration are patient condition, susceptibility testing, training, and advice from colleagues. Every doctor uses different guidelines for diabetic foot ulcer.
Perception attitude and exercise compliance among menopausal females
Authors: Parle Jyoti , Parmar Reema , Khan Lubna
Published: July 2021

Background: Menopause is perhaps the most striking event occurring during the middle age in women and represents the end of woman's reproductive life. With the general increase in life expectancy, many women are likely to live for more than 20 years after menopause, spending about one quarter of their lives or more in a state of oestrogen deficiency. Owing to lack of oestrogen woman may experience decrease physical and mental wellbeing that’s why postmenopausal woman can be considered a risk population. There is a lack of data to find the compliance and attitude towards exercise among menopausal females in India.Methods: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among sample size of 150 menopausal females. Self-made questionnaire was the outcome measure.Results: 21% consider menopause is associated with changes in the body.1 % perceived all the symptoms to be associated with menopause.30% perceived that none are associated with menopause. Perception was seen to be positive overall.36% of uneducated females do not consider exercise at all important.51% of educated females consider it important. Only 61% exercise on regular basis.Conclusions: Most females perceive menopause as a positive life event. Exercise was considered somewhat important by menopausal females; however exercise compliance was poor.
Learnings from select Indian public welfare programs to catalyze the implementation of India’s national actional plan on antimicrobial resistance
Authors: Joshi Jyoti , Kotwani Anita
Published: July 2021

Antibiotics are an easy, rapid and quick replacement to improved care within fragmented health systems with poor access and infection control measures in many countries, including India. India announced its national action plan for antimicrobial resistance (NAP-AMR) 2017-2021 but has made limited progress. Successful public welfare programs (Delhi metro rail corporation DMRC, swachh bharat mission (SBM), beti bachao beti padao (B3P) and national green tribunal NGT) were reviewed that had addressed critical national concerns similar to AMR. Valuable lessons from their implementation provide the opportunity to improve the governance and operationalization of the NAP-AMR. Unique features of the four programs identified above include resilient leadership, multi-stakeholder coordination with oversight and accountability of partnerships, innovation in program design and implementation and data-driven real-time monitoring for sustained behavior change. Incorporating these strategies into the program design and implementation of India's NAP-AMR will reinvigorate the program to accelerate the achievement of program targets.
Non-communicable diseases’ risk factors in India: a review of the current situation
Authors: Verma Anjana , Patyal Ashish , Mathur Medha , Mathur Navgeet , Virmani Shiv
Published: July 2021

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality, leading to a significant burden on the health care systems in developing countries like India. Despite heavy burden, there is no regular system of collection of good quality representative data on NCDs or their risk factors in India. The published review articles show the trends of risk factors, however only for one or few more risk factors, thereby rendering them non comprehensive. This paper examines the updated data and epidemiology of all the NCD risk factors, to provide the summary estimates of their prevalence at national level. A thorough knowledge on current status of risk factors is required to formulate the policies and programmes, so that the rising burden of NCDs can be tackled.

Resuene la Esfera (1734): una cantata de José Blasco de Nebra en el Monasterio de San Clemente de Sevilla
Authors: Peña Blanco Alfonso
Published: July 2021

The monastery of San Clemente of Seville treasures a rich diplomatic and documentary heritage that has been the subject of a detailed study and cataloging. However, until now, everything related to the music preserved in it had not known the same fate, being simply stacked without any kind of order. However, through this article we want to present part of an approach and research work on this legacy, as well as an approach to gender and its functionality within the theatricality of the counter-reformist liturgy. Likewise, this finding represents a contribution to the reconstruction of the sound context of the city at that time and to being able to contemplate the monastery as a true performative space in the Baroque.
Nuevos datos biográficos de Cayetano y Bruno Pagueras. De Barcelona a La Habana y a La Seu d’Urgell, respectivamente
Authors: Benavent Peiró Joan
Published: July 2021

Nuevos datos confirman la relación entre Cayetano Pagueras y Bruno Pagueras como hermanos. A su vez, a partir de los datos de archivo se ha podido reconstruir el circuito profesional que ambos seguirían y que se replicaría en la generación venidera, con los alumnos formados en la catedral de Urgel Francisco Andreví y Ramón Carnicer. Todavía como hipótesis, se plantea que los hermanos Pagueras se formaron con Pedro Antonio Monlleó en Barcelona. Lugar que les permitiría ocupar diferentes cargos de organistas en la Ciudad Condal y acceder a diferentes puestos de maestro de capilla. En el caso de Cayetano, durante un breve período en La Habana y, al menos de manera nominal, en Puebla de los Ángeles. En cambio, en el de su hermano, de los puestos de organista accedería al de maestro de capilla de la catedral de Urgel.

Published: July 2021

¿De dónde viene y a cuándo se remonta el apellido Bach en España? ¿Puede que algún miembro de la familia del gran Johann Sebastian, posiblemente músico, se hubiera afincado de alguna manera en la península ibérica antaño? La presencia de un organista español con este patronímico inequívocamente alemán en la Capilla Musical del convento madrileño de las Descalzas Reales en el siglo XVIII, más el hecho de que en Cataluña, y en particular en la provincia de Gerona, sobrevivan hoy en día muchos Bach, han sido alicientes suficientes para llevar a cabo esta investigación genealógica, que llega nada menos que a la época de los últimos Templarios.

Sand sea cucumber (Holothuria scabra) is an aquatic product that belongs to Echinodermata, a habitant in almost all Indonesian seas. The main component of the sea cucumber is protein, one of which is collagen. This study aimed to extract and characterize collagen from the species using the acid-base extraction method. The characterization of sea cucumber collagen includes molecular weight, amino acid components, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, and scanning electron microscopy analysis. This study has successfully extracted collagen from the sample using an extraction system: NaOH 0.1 M; CH3COOH 0.1 M; and distilled water under 45°C treatments, gave 6% yield. The collagen has a molecular weight 110-130 kDa. Based on the infrared spectra, the specific functional groups of the collagen are amide A (3379.29 cm-1), amide B (2924.09 cm-1), amide I (1681.93 cm-1), amide II (1560.41 cm-1), and amide III (1249.87 cm-1). The collagen falls into type I. We suggest an alternative resource of collagen from sand sea cucumber, other than poultry and mammals.

Primary energy demand in Indonesia has rapidly increased, i.e., 43.33% between 2005 and 2016, while domestic energy supply failed to fulfill these needs leading to the reliance on the energy import. Meanwhile, a vast area of degraded land in Indonesia also created an opportunity for biofuel production, fulfilling energy demand, as well as restoring the land with environmental and socio-economic benefits. This paper provides an overview of identified potential and challenges associated with biofuel production from degraded land in Indonesia. Our preliminary findings highlighted that some biofuel species in Indonesia are suitable to grow in degraded land and potentially restore the land that may not be suitable for current agricultural production and/or reforestation. The initial finding also shows that culturally familiar species and stable markets are favorable terms of biofuel-species selection for the landowners. Supportive agricultural-extension services such as knowledge and technology for honey production can provide an added value in this concept, in addition to social (e.g., strengthening social solidarity and employment opportunities) and environmental (e.g., carbon storage, soil moisture, erosion control, and biodiversity) benefits. Meanwhile, to create this overall initiative to be successful, a supportive measure from the policymakers is needed. Further research on the capacity of biofuel species to restore degraded lands in different biophysical profiles. Analysis of biofuel production feedstocks and potential co-benefits viable business models, and the stable market is necessary to maximize benefit from biofuel production and to restore the degraded lands in Indonesia.   Keywords: biofuel production, renewable energy, restoring

Lahan sebagai salah satu faktor produksi membutuhkan pengelolaan yang baik terutama di daerah Pegunungan Arfak yang bertopografi ekstrem. Keanekaragaman hayati yang tinggi di sini menjadikan wilayah ini sebagai daerah konservasi dan iklimnya membuat Pegunungan Arfak menjadi sentra produksi sayuran dataran tinggi di Provinsi Papua Barat. Penelitian di kampung Indud, Ubesia dan Taigei, ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan bagaimana petani Arfak menerapkan pengetahuan lokal mereka, yakni konsep igya ser hanjob dalam mengelola tanah guna mendukung usaha tani sayuran dataran tinggi yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode induktif dan teknik studi kasus untuk mendokumentasikan pengetahuan dan pengalaman 30 orang petani Arfak dalam sistem usahatani sayuran dataran tinggi yang dipilih dengan teknik snowball. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara (individu dan kelompok) dan pengamatan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa pengelolaan tanah berkelanjutan dalam kegiatan usaha tani sayuran dataran tinggi berbasis pada konsep ekologi masyarakat Arfak, yakni igya ser hanjob. Konsep ini mengatur wilayah kelola yang tepat untuk keperluan pertanian subsisten dan menjamin keberlanjutan lingkungan serta keberlanjutan pangan bagi keluarga. Konsep ekologis tersebut disosialisasikan secara turun temurun oleh perempuan sebagai salah satu penjaga pengetahuan lokal masyarakat Arfak. Namun, dalam kenyataannya terdapat ancaman terutama pemekaran wilayah dan proses transfer pengetahuan terhadap praktik pertanian subsisten yang berkelanjutan berdasarkan konsep ekologi masyarakat Arfak.   Kata kunci: Igya ser hanjob, masyarakat adat arfak, pertanian berkelanjutan, pengetahuan lokal

The rain-fed rice fields in Umbu Pabal Selatan Village are agricultural land that is always cultivated every year to meet the food needs of the villagers. Soil fertility is a piece of important information in managing rice fields to increase rice production. This study aims to evaluate the status of soil properties, soil fertility, and the direction of management of rain-sized rice fields in the village. The method used was descriptive exploration surveys with soil samples taken deliberately. Laboratory test results showed that soil pH is classified as acidic, N-total is medium, P-available is low, K-available is very high, cation exchange capacity is high, and C-organic is high. Fertility status is low (96.9 ha), moderate (194.6 ha), and high (160.3 ha). Management direction in improving fertility and nutrient deficiency is by fertilizing and water-logging.

This study aims to analyze the impact of the tariff and non-tariff policies implementation of the importing countries on the export performance of Indonesian processed tuna. A cross-sectional gravity model analysis was conducted to find out the impact of these policies on exports. The variables used include GDP per capita of the importing countries, population, economic distance, export prices, actual exchange rates, tariff policies, and non-tariff policies in the form of sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) and technical barriers to trade (TBT). The estimation shows that the variables of GDP per capita of the importing countries, population, exchange rates, export prices, and SPS give a positive and significant effect on the trade of Indonesian processed tuna commodities. On the other hand, economic distance and TBT policy give a negative and significant impact on the volume of this particular commodity. Meanwhile, the tariff policy implementation also give a negative effect on the export volume, but it is not significant.

Purpose: SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with substantial mortality and high morbidity. This study tested the effect of angiotensin II type I receptor blocker, losartan, on SARS-CoV-2 replication and inhibition of the papain-like protease of the virus. Methods: The dose-dependent inhibitory effect of losartan, in concentrations from 1μM to 100μM as determined by quantitative cell analysis combining fluorescence microscopy, image processing, and cellular measurements (Cellomics analysis) on SARS-CoV-2 replication was investigated in Vero E6 cells. The impact of losartan on deubiquitination and deISGylation of SARS-CoV-2 papain-like protease (PLpro) were also evaluated.  Results: Losartan reduced PLpro cleavage of tetraUbiquitin to diUbiquitin.  It was less effective in inhibiting PLpro’s cleavage of ISG15-AMC than Ubiquitin-AMC.  To determine if losartan inhibited SARS-CoV-2 replication, losartan treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infected Vero E6 was examined. Losartan treatment one hour prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection reduced levels of SARS-CoV-2 nuclear protein, an indicator of virus replication, by 80% and treatment one-hour post-infection decreased viral replication by 70%. Conclusion: Losartan was not an effective inhibitor of deubiquitinase or deISGylase activity of the PLpro but affected the SARS-CoV-2 replication of Vero E6 cells in vitro.  As losartan has a favorable safety profile and is currently available it has features necessary for efficacious drug repurposing and treatment of COVID-19.

In this work, Al, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Si and Y were determined in SDP-6 cathodes based on cobalt and SDP-1 and AZh8 nickel-based cathodes by x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The calibration dependences are corrected taking into account the superposition of signals from interfering elements on the analytical signal and changes in intensity caused by inter-element influences in the matrix. A standard-free analysis was carried out using the method of fundamental parameters. The correctness of the results obtained was confirmed by a comparative analysis by atomic emission spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry with a glow discharge.
