Published: March 2022

Kompleks Arkeologi Sungai Batu adalah kawasan yang terdiri dari himpunan permukiman dan situs pertukaran yang terletak di Lembah Bujang, yang cukup maju sebagai pusat pemerintahan dari abad ke-2 hingga ke-14 Masehi. Temuan arkeologi di Sungai Batu menunjukkan wilayah tersebut merupakan pemukiman yang secara khusus menjadi pusat penghasil besi, baik terlibat dalam kegiatan penambangan maupun peleburan besi. Penelitian lapangan ini menerapkan metode pengeboran inti di kawasan Kompleks Arkeologi Sungai Batu yang bertujuan untuk memperoleh data primer terkait potensinya sebagai pusat kawasan industri Kerajaan Kedah Tua. Bukti arkeologis terkini mengungkapkan bahwa kawasan ini dahulu sebagai pusat bengkel peleburan besi untuk kerajaan Kedah Tua sejak 788 SM. Analisis pengeboran inti berdasarkan contoh tanah jelas menunjukkan bahwa daerah ini merupakan bagian dari teluk laut purba yang luas sebelum turunnya permukaan air laut. Daerah ini lalu berubah menjadi muara sungai yang memungkinkan berdirinya permukiman. Daerah Kompleks Arkeologi Sungai Batu juga kaya akan kandungan bahan baku seperti bijih besi untuk industri peleburan dan alluvium untuk pembuatan batu bata. Daerah ini kemudian berkembang menjadi kompleks industri yang maju sejak 788 SM.

Sungai Batu archaeological complex is a group of various settlements and exchange sites located in the Bujang Valley, which developed as a polity from the 2nd to 14th century AD. The archaeological findings at Sungai Batu suggest the position of the area as a polity or settlement specializing in primary iron production, which involved the activities of iron mining and smelting. Field research involving core drilling methods applied in the area of ​​Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex with the main purpose of obtaining primary data related to its potential as a major industrial area of ​​Kedah Tua Kingdom. This is because current archaeological evidence reveals that this area has been used as a major and advanced iron smelting workshop for the Kedah Tua kingdom since 788 BC. Analysis of core drilling (soil samples) clearly shows that this area represented the part of a large ancient marine bay before the sea level decreased. It was changed to become a river estuary allowing settlements to be established. Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex also exposed many raw materials such as iron ore for the smelting industry and alluvium for making a brick. It has developed into a flourishing industrial complex since 788 BC.

Proper scheduling gave water to the crop at the right time in the right quantity to optimize production and minimize adverse environmental impact. Therefore, the objective of this study is to quantify the effects of irrigation regimes on yield and yield components of Maize in the Lake Tana basin during 2016-2018. CROPWAT 8.0 model was used to determine the crop water requirement. Almost all parameters were adopted the default value of CROPWAT 8.0. Field data including; field capacity (FC), permanent wilting point (PWP), initial soil moisture depletion (%), available water holding capacity (mm/meter), infiltration rates (mm/day), and local climate data were determined in the study area. The treatments were arranged in factorial combinations with five irrigation depths (50, 75, 100, 125 and 150% of ETc) and two irrigation intervals (14 and 21 days) laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The result was analyzed using SAS 9 software and significant treatment means separated using least significant difference at 5%. The result showed that the interaction of irrigation depth and irrigation frequency has no significant effect on the average grain yield and water use efficiency of maize. At koga, the highest grain yield (7.3 t ha-1) and water use efficiency (0.9 kg m-3) obtained from 100% ETc. while, at Ribb the highest grain yield (10.97 t ha-1) and water use efficiency (1.9 kg m-3) obtained from 21 days irrigation interval. Therefore, for Koga and similar agro ecologies maize can irrigated with 562 mm net irrigation depth and 21-day irrigation interval and at Rib and similar agro ecologies maize can irrigated with 446.8 mm net irrigation depth and 21- days irrigation interval.

A corn dryer prototype was manufactured for Mexican small-scale farmers in order to avoid them paying fines for corn with a high-moisture content when selling their corn on to stores. The dryer comprised two large boxes perforated by round holes and containing stainless steel trays subjected to a hot air temperature of 45°C within the batch. The accumulated grain in both boxes was 200 mm and the airflow rate were 0.56 m3 s-1. The corn ears layer was of 80 mm of depth in each of the boxes. The airflow rate was 0.34 m3 s-1. Within eight hours, we sampled corn grain in nine points of each box and found that the mean corn grain moisture content was reduced from 30.36% to 10.47% for box 1 whereas for box 2 it was reduced until 14.72%. The fuel consumption for drying was 0.55 kg h-1 of kerosene. In Box1, the exponential regression model for corn grain moisture content had an R² of 0.9143 whereas Box 2 exponential regression model had an R² was of 0.6642. In Box 1, the exponential regression model for corn ear moisture content had an R² of 0.9616 whereas Box 2 had an R² was of 0.9400. Both models for corn cob moisture content had an R² of 0.9639. Two-layer corn dryers can be used to harness gas or fuel energy to speed up drying for storage.

Due to high cost of importation and inability of wheat to thrive in Nigeria, baked products like chin-chin are costly and out of the reach of common people. Since baked products are convenient snack relished by all, substitution with readily available materials like cassava flour becomes the only available option. Wheat and cassava flours were blended in the ratios of 70:30%, 50: 50% and 30: 70% respectively while 100% wheat and cassava flours served as controls. Deep fat fried chin-chin samples were prepared from the blends. Proximate and functional properties were conducted on the flour blends while proximate composition and acceptability test were on the chin-chin samples. The results revealed that with increase in cassava inclusion levels in the composite flour blends, there was increase in moisture (7.77-8.23%), carbohydrate (73.42-79.23%), ash (0.75-1.00%), bulk density (0.51-0.61 g/ml), swelling index (0.96.1.09%), water absorption capacity (1.10-1.88 g/g), and emulsion capacity (27.41-39.48%) while dry matter (91.20-9.84%), protein (8.55-6.55%), fat (2.08-0.98%), fibre (2.53-2.20%) and oil absorption capacity (1.29-1.16 g/g) decreased. For chin- chin, there was significant increase in moisture (8.29-10.40%) and carbohydrate (63.63-66.54%) while dry matter (91.70-89.59%), protein (6.66-3.50 %), fat (17.57-16.84%), ash (1.88-1.38) and fiber (1.96-1.69%) decreased. There was no significant difference in the overall acceptability of the chin-chin samples. Therefore, cassava flour substitution of up to 70% is acceptable, but with decrease in most of the nutrient composition which can be improved with lower (

Published: March 2022

We, here, aimed to determine the presence of Anguillicola crassus, a swim bladder parasite, in 89 (male: 45, female: 44) dead European eel specimens obtained seasonally between 2020-2021 from a regional fisherman, who has fished with fyke net in the locality Tuzla of Izmir Bay, Eastern Aegean Sea. Out of 21 male European eels caught in winter, only one specimen (TL: 48.5 cm and TW: 247.12 g) had 23 swim bladder parasites (adult nematodes: 15, larvae: 8) and similarly, only one parasite was found in one specimen (TL: 37.5 cm and TW: 88.47 g) of 8 eels caught in spring. No parasite was found in the female eels. At the examinations, it was determined that all adult Anguillicola crassus specimens were females and the minimum-maximum and average length values in adult and larval parasites were, respectively, 1.5-2.5 cm (1.99 ± 0.31) and 0.7-1.3 cm (1.025 ± 2.40). Consequently, the species A. crassus, a swim bladder parasite, was found in European eels from the locality Çamalti Tuzla in two seasons (winter and spring) and this parasitic nematode were only in male eels. This study is a first and remarkable one having evidential value, which shows the presence of the species A. crassus among the eel population in the locality Çamalti Tuzla of Izmir Bay. Besides, it is a population that should be monitored due to the status of Anguilla anguilla on the IUCN red list.

Published: March 2022

In this study, we aimed to determine the therapeutic value of local Yığılca honeys by examining their physicochemical characteristics, phenolic content, radical scavenging activity, and antimicrobial properties by underlining some overlooked parameters. Honey samples ware divided into two main groups as CH and FH based on melissopalynologycal analysis. Antimicrobial activity of collected honey samples were investigated on important hospital-acquired infections bacteria strains; MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), MSSA (Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Although CH’s antimicrobial activities were found slightly higher than the FH’s, there isn’t statistically significant differences between two type honeys. However, the antioxidant activity of CH was found significantly higher than FH. Surprisingly, a higher amount of isomaltose was determined in addition to the total phenolic content in CH compared to FH. There has been found positive correlation between isomaltose amount and zone diameters for MRSA and A. baumannii. We would like to draw attention to isomaltose for its health benefit structure since these parameters may be influence honey’s therapeutic value. We recommend that isomaltose and invertase enzyme should be included in to the honey codex standards suitably depending on the monofloral and multifloral honey’s specific structure, to sensitively standardize and control their quality and therapeutic value. Our data revealed a positive correlation between antioxidant and antimicrobial activity and total phenolic content and higher isomaltose amount.
Feasibility Study of Rainwater Harvesting in Public Buildings: A Case Study in Bayraklı, İzmir
Authors: Ülker Erman
Published: March 2022

Water is a precious and limited resource that nourishes countless living things. As population pressures increase day by day, most communities on Earth are facing a shortage of water resources. For this reason, the authorities started to look for alternative water resources. As a matter of fact, the harvesting of rainwater has once again gained importance and has been the subject of research by researchers and engineers. In this study, investigating the rainwater harvesting potential in public buildings in the Bayraklı district of İzmir shows that approximately 41 thousand tons of rainwater can be harvested, which corresponds to 0.17% of the population demand. On the other hand, this rate decreased to 0.15% in the 2031 projection. We believe that rainwater harvesting in public buildings in urbanized areas is not sufficient, and that authorities should encourage or finance communities that install rainwater harvesting systems to avoid further water stress.

Climate unpredictability and weather extremes are being projected as capable of presenting additional challenges for farmers currently engaged in the low-technology based food production systems in sub-Saharan countries like Nigeria. This study assessed rice farming households’ vulnerability to climate change in Kwara State, Nigeria. Primary data, collected from 150 respondents using simple random sampling procedure were analysed employing descriptive statistic was use to describe the coping strategies adopted and Human Development Index (HDI) was created to assess vulnerability of rice farmers to climate change. Statistical analyses indicated a vulnerability assessment index of 0.3001, pointing to a fact that the zone is prone to the adverse effects of climatic variability. For this reason, the study empirically underscores the need for farmers to adopt and adapt the planting of drought tolerant and/or early maturing varieties of rice. Importantly, the capacities of the local communities needs to be strengthened vis-à-vis the relationship between climate change and crop production. Capacity building at the farm level is crucial for improving crop, soil and water management, enhancing the demand for and use of better and more efficient production inputs. Tied to farm-level capacity building is the need to refocus public agricultural-based institutions towards exposing the rice farmers to effective mitigation strategies in the wake of climate change, provision of agricultural inputs, expansion of irrigation, efficient and effective extension service delivery, market development and other forms of necessary support.

Are you tired? Low Thyroid may be the Culprit: Part 2
Authors:   Nutrition Institute Of America, Null Gary
Published: March 2022

One problem, as noted in Part 1 of this article, is the flawed process of diagnosing thyroid disorders. Even when a patient is obviously symptomatic, his or her condition may go unrecognized by orthodox physicians because they focus so exclusively on the results of conventional thyroid blood tests. These tests do not directly measure the functioning of the entire thyroid system, which includes both the central production of T4 hormone and the conversion of T4 to T3 at the tissue level. This conversion process, which occurs outside of the thyroid gland itself, is essential because T3 is the active form of thyroid hormone that works in the body’s cells.

Authors: Cediel Emilio Garzón , Boerwinkle Varina Louise , Ramon Juan Fernando , Arias Diana , De la Hoz-Valle Jose Antonio , Mercado Jose Dario , Cohen Darwin , Niño Maria Claudia
Published: March 2022

Background:

The number of days of preoperative hospital stay (PHS) is a modifiable variable that has shown contradictory surgical site infection (SSI) risk factor results in neurosurgery. We sought to pinpoint the day of PHS length related with a marked increase of risk of SSI.

Methods:

From a tertiary teaching hospital, January 2015–December 2017, prospectively collected nonpercutaneous neurosurgery procedures with standard antibiotic prophylaxis and 1-year follow-up were evaluated. SSI risk factors were assessed through multiple logistic regression models with different thresholds of PHS.

Results:

A total of 1012 procedures were included in the study. Incidence of SSI was 4.4%. The median PHS was higher in those with SSI than in those without (1 day, interquartile range [IQR]: 7 vs. 0 days, IQR: 1, respectively, P = 0.002). By the amount of six days of PHS, this exposure risk past the threshold of significance for impact on wound infection (OR 2.8; CI 1.23–6.39, P = 0.014). Operative time past 4 h (OR 2.11; CI 1.12-3.98; P = 0.021), and in some models, previous surgery at same admission were also identified by multivariate analysis as increasing postoperative SSI risk.

Conclusion:

The gradual increase of the SSI OR associated with longer PHS days was the highest risk factor of SSI in our cohort of patients. Studies directed to reduce this complication should consider the PHS.
Cauda equina syndrome after L5-S1 posterior decompression surgery showing a “convexity sign” caused by engorgement of the ventral epidural venous plexus: A case series
Authors: Takayama Motohiro , Maki Yoshinori , Kawasaki Toshinari
Published: March 2022

Background:

Cauda equina syndrome (CES) following posterior lumbar decompression is rare. Here, we present four postoperative cases of L5S1 surgery resulting in CES attributed to engorged ventral epidural veins that decreased spontaneously in three cases, while the fourth warranted a laminoplasty.

Case Description:

Four patients underwent posterior lumbar decompressions at the L5-S1 level, but developed postoperative symptoms/signs of CES. Interestingly, in all four cases, cauda equina compression was attributed to engorgement of the ventral epidural venous plexus documented on magnetic resonance images (MRI) by the “convexity sign.” Postoperatively, three patients’ CES compression decreased spontaneously, but one required a laminoplasty.

Conclusion:

Postoperative CES occurred in four patients undergoing L5-S1 lumbar surgery. This deficit was attributed to marked engorgement of the ventral epidural plexus (i.e., yielding the “convexity sign” on MRI) that resolved spontaneously in three patients, but warranted a laminoplasty in the fourth.
Sacral dural arteriovenous fistula of the filum terminale coexisting with partially thrombosed filum vein: A case report and literature review

Published: March 2022

Background:

Filum terminale arteriovenous fistulas (FTAVFs) are rare and usually classified as intradural ventral AVFs or Type IVa perimedullary fistulas, located on the pia surface along the course of filum terminale internum (FTI). We report an extremely rare case of sacral dural arteriovenous fistula of the FT. We also review the occurrence of FTAVFs in the sacral region.

Case Description:

A 64-year-old man presented with progressive weakness of the lower extremities for 3 months and bowel/bladder dysfunction following long history of back pain radiating to both legs. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbosacral and thoracic spine showed spinal cord congestion, extending from the conus medullaris to the level of T3, and partial thrombosis within the abnormal tortuous and dilated flow void, running from the sacral area to conus medullaris. Further findings were compression fracture of L2 vertebra, Grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis at the level of L2-3, and L3-4, and spinal stenosis at L2-3, L3-4, and L4-5. Spinal angiography, maximum intensity projection reformatted image of angiographic computerized tomography, and three-dimensional reconstructed image clearly demonstrated dural AVF of the FT at the level of S2 supplied by bilateral lateral sacral and middle sacral arteries with cranial drainage to perimedullary vein through the enlarged vein of the filum. The patient was indirectly treated by transection of the filum terminale and the draining vein at the level of L5 rostral to the fistula.

Conclusion:

Sacral DAVFs of the FT are extremely rare. In our case, the formation of fistula may cause by venous hypertension secondary to partial thrombosis within the filum vein, probably resulting from long-standing spinal canal stenosis. Sacral FTAVFs may be found on the pia surface of the terminal FTI, dural component at the area of dural sac termination, or dural extension covering the filum terminale externum.

Published: March 2022

Selective synthesis of primary amines via reductive amination becomes an important research topic due to their wide applications. Various metal-based catalysts (Ru, Ir, Pt, Rh, etc.) have been developed; however, most systems suffer from low efficiency and poor stability. Here, we revealed that the hydride-like NH2δ- species, generated by the dissociation of NH3 over a core-shell structured Co@CoO catalyst is capable of accelerating the ammonolysis of Schiff bases, the reaction intermediates. This catalyst can handle various reductive aminations of aldehydes and ketones under mild conditions and run 21 times without deactivation. The combination of various spectroscopic measurements and computational modelling illustrated that this catalyst not only drives the dissociation of H2 to active Hδ- species, it also enables the homolytic and heterolytic cleavages of NH3 to NH2δ- species. D2 isotopic tracing experiment provided further evidence of the direct participation of hydride-like NH2δ- species in the ammonolysis of the Schiff bases. Theoretical calculations also verified the stable co-adsorption state of the Hδ- and NH2δ- species which allows the Schiff base to move freely on the surface of the CoO shell, resulting in the exceptional catalytic activity. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the potential of metal-oxide catalysts for the production of primary amines through reductive amination.

В данной работе приводятся результаты исследования кинетики реакции гидрогенолиза глюкозы до этилен- и пропиленгликоля - как части общего процесса каталитической трансформации целлюлозы в гликоли в присутствии Ru-содержащих гетерогенных катализаторов. В качестве последнего в работе был использован разработанный ранее катализатор на полимерной основе 3 % Ru-FeO/СПС, обладающий магнитными свойствами. В ходе исследования получено формальное описание кинетики гидрогенолиза глюкозы, предложена математическая модель реакции гидрогенолиза глюкозы до гликолей в присутствии синтезированного катализатора, произведена оценка параметров математической модели.

This paper presents the results of studying the kinetics of the hydrogenolysis reaction of glucose to ethylene and propylene glycol as part of the overall catalytic transformation of cellulose into glycols in the presence of Ru-containing heterogeneous catalysts. As the latter, we used a previously developed polymer-based catalyst 3% Ru-FeO/HPS, which has magnetic properties. In the course of the study, a formal description of the kinetics of glucose hydrogenolysis was obtained, a mathematical model of the reaction of glucose hydrogenolysis to glycols in the presence of a synthesized catalyst was proposed, and the parameters of the mathematical model were estimated.
TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE IDEOLOGY OF THE RUSSIAN POLITICAL COUNCIL
Authors: Стрелков Иван Павлович
Published: March 2022

В статье предпринята попытка анализа идейной основы деятельности Русского политического совещания (РПС) в Париже. Автор выделяет ряд базовых сюжетов, вокруг которых строились политические концепции РПС. Среди них - вопрос о путях государственного и национального строительства в России после победы белого движения, проблемы преодоления распада страны, сущности революции и большевизма, места России в послевоенной Европе. На основе материалов РПС изучено, какой смысл вкладывали его участники в понятия «Россия», «русский народ», «сепаратизм», «большевизм», «германизм». Автор приходит к выводам об эклектичности происхождения этих концептов в идеологии РПС, указывает на эволюцию некоторых из них. Автор заключает, что особое восприятие членами совещания некоторых понятий, например, большевизма, мешало взаимопониманию с Парижской мирной конференцией.

The article attempts to analyze the ideological basis of the activities of the Russian Political Council (RPC) in Paris. The author identifies a number of basic plots around which the political concepts of the RPC were built. Among them - the question of the ways of state and national building in Russia after the victory of the white movement, the problem of overcoming the disintegration of the country, the essence of the revolution and Bolshevism, the place of Russia in post-war Europe. Based on the materials of the RPC, it was studied what meaning was put by its participants in such concepts as «Russia», «Russian people», «separatism», «Bolshevism», «Germanism». The author comes to conclusions about the eclecticity of the origin of these concepts in the RPC ideology, points out the evolution of some of them. The author concludes that the special perception of certain concepts by the members of the conference, for example, Bolshevism, hindered mutual understanding with the Paris Peace Conference.
ON THE HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY OF NOVGOROD CADASTER BOOKS FOR HISTORICAL SCIENCE
Authors: Фролов Алексей Анатольевич
Published: March 2022

В статье исследована история пребывания в МАКИД / МГАМИД в первой половине - середине XIX в. коллекции древнейших русских писцовых книг. Сделан ряд наблюдений об истории создания и дополнения архивной Описи 1806 г., которая оставалась рабочей в ЦГАДА вплоть до 1970-х гг. Выявлена роль Н.М. Карамзина в атрибуции архивного конволюта, под обложкой которого скрывались фрагменты трех древнейших писцовых книг Деревской, Шелонской и Обонежской пятин Новгородской земли. Из «Истории государства Российского» о книгах узнал К.А. Неволин, чья монография 1853 г. послужила важным импульсом для публикации Археографической комиссией с 1858 г. источников в серии «Новгородские писцовые книги». Впервые в историографии уделено внимание факту пребывания древнейших книг Деревской и Водской пятин в период с 1841 по 1857 гг. в пользовании у В.А. Поленова, директора Департамента внутренних сношений МИД и управляющего Государственным и Санкт-Петербургским Главными архивами.

The article examines the history of staying of the oldest Russian cadaster books in the Moscow Main Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the first half - middle of the 19 century. A number of observations were made about the history of the creation and expansion of the archival Inventory of 1806, which kept to be operating in the Central State Archive of Ancient Documents until the 1970s. The role of N. M. Karamzin was revealed that he played in the attribution of the archival convolute which included fragments of three cadaster books of the Novgorod land. A brief description of the cadaster books given in the «History of the Russian State» played an important role in attracting attention to this category of sources of the scientific community. K.A. Nevolin met this description and used cadaster books for his writing. Nevolin's monograph of 1853 served as an important impetus for the publication in the series «Novgorod Cadaster Books», started by the Archeographic Commission in 1858. For the first time in historiography attention is paid to the fact of the absence of some oldest books in the archive between 1841 and 1857. They were engaged by V.A. Polenov, director of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and manager of the State and St. Petersburg Main Archives.

A SURVEY ON STOCK PRICE PREDICTION USING DEEP LEARNING
Authors: L Dushyanth
Published: March 2022

Stock is a curve with a lot of unknowns. Stock market forecasting is fraught with complications and unpredictability. One of the most challenging and sophisticated methods of doing business is investing in the stock market. Stock forecasting is a difficult and time-consuming activity since the stock market is extremely volatile with stock prices fluctuating due to a variety of variables. Investors nowadays want quick and precise information to make informed decisions, thanks to the rapid growth of technology in stock price prediction. Understanding a company's stock price pattern and estimating its future development and financial growth will be quite advantageous. As the stock is made up of dynamic data, data is the critical source of efficiency. In the current trend of predicting stocks, deep learning is the most popular among the prediction of datasets. To forecast and automate operations, deep learning employs several prediction models and algorithms. The paper briefs about different algorithms and methods used for stock market prediction.

Published: March 2022

This work presents the results of the sensing analysis of Peruvian wines of known (Commercial wines) and handmade brands, using electronic noses (E-noses) which consist of an array of sensors based on tin oxide doped with Pd or Pt, and some with zeolite coating. The combinations of the sensors were performed seeking to obtain the best discrimination of the wines with the multivariate methods, with a high level of confidence and a good distribution of the results. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA), cluster and factorial results showed that the electronic noses allowed to efficiently identify wines of known brand from those of handmade brand, revealing the way in which the wines have been produced. On the other hand, the multivariate methods applied to the electronic noses made up of SnO2 sensors doped with palladium showed a clear differentiation of Borgoña-type wines from wines of handmade brand and evidenced the formation of agglomerations between red and Rosé wines. The application of PCA, cluster and factorial obtained in this study allowed to obtain good results in the differentiation of wines, even with electronic noses formed with a low number of sensors.

Authors: Garrido Reyes Tatiana , Campos Escobar Nicol , Mendoza Crisosto Jorge
Published: March 2022

La evaluación de contaminantes presentes en el medioambiente es un tema reiterativo a nivel internacional, por ello resulta imperante el desarrollo de nuevas metodologías de extracción de analitos desde matrices como aguas superficiales, con un bajo impacto sobre el medio ambiente. El clorpirifos (CP) es un compuesto organofosforado ampliamente usado para el control de plagas, tóxico para los seres vivos, el cual se puede movilizar desde los suelos a las distintas fuentes de agua. La microextracción líquido-líquido dispersiva (DLLME, por sus siglas en inglés) puede ser considerada como una metodología con características de química analítica verde, por el bajo consumo de solvente y tiempo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue optimizar la DLLME para el análisis de CP en muestras de agua. Para la extracción se usó metanol como agente dispersante y CS2 como agente extractante, evaluándose cinco tiempos de extracción: 5, 10, 15, 20 y 25 minutos. Los extractos fueron analizados por cromatografía de gases con detector de microcaptura electrónica (GC-μECD). Los resultados de la evaluación del tiempo de agitación dieron cuenta que, para los tiempos de agitación de 10 y 15 minutos se obtuvo un porcentaje de recuperación de CP de 108 y 88 %, respectivamente, con un límite de detección y de cuantificación de 18,3 y 22,4 μg/L, respectivamente, y una precisión expresada como desviación estándar relativa menor al 14,2 %, aceptable para este tipo de extracción. Se puede concluir que la metodología DLLME asociada a GC-μECD es una alternativa adecuada para la cuantificación de CP en matrices acuosas con un bajo impacto medioambiental.

Published: March 2022

El presente artículo de investigación tiene como objetivo evidenciar las condiciones en las que se encuentra el vigente modelo constitucional del Ecuador, que reconoce y garantiza los derechos de las personas privadas de la libertad como un grupo de atención prioritaria. De conformidad con los convenios y tratados internacionales suscritos. Sin embargo, el Estado ecuatoriano hace caso omiso a sus deberes constitucionales; y, al desarrollo jurisprudencial de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Para el desarrollo de este trabajo investigativo se ha empleado una metodología mixta: cuantitativa y cualitativa, basada en una modalidad inductiva-deductiva, lo que proporciona información fiable y contrastada. Resultados: El Ecuador cuenta con un déficit de 9932 agentes de seguridad penitenciaria; no cuenta con políticas públicas con enfoque de derechos humanos; no ha desarrollado su normativa interna o suscrito convenios internacionales en los últimos cinco años; no garantiza derechos humanos y constitucionales de las personas privadas de liberta; las reformas del Código Orgánico Integral Penal sobre la imposibilidad de acceder a beneficios penitenciarios en ciertos delitos son contrarios a la Constitución de la República del Ecuador, y constituyen vulneración al principio de progresividad y no regresividad . Adicionalmente, el 37,80% de la población penitenciaria está con prisión preventiva; el 0,32% son adultos mayores; y, el hacinamiento es del 28,29%.
