Authors: Graf Gloria Huei-Jong , Li Xuechen , Kwon Dayoon , Belsky Daniel , Widom Cathy Spatz
Published: March 2022

Importance: Childhood adversity has been linked to many indicators of shorter healthy lifespan, including earlier onset of disease and disability as well as early mortality. These observations suggest the hypothesis that childhood maltreatment may accelerate aging. We tested this hypothesis in a prospective cohort of individuals with documented childhood maltreatment and controls matched on demographic and socioeconomic factors. Objective: To characterize the relationship between childhood maltreatment and accelerated biological aging in a prospective cohort of documented cases of childhood maltreatment and matched controls.Design: Prospective cohort study Setting: Cases were drawn from juvenile and adult court records from the years 1967 through 1971 in a large Midwest metropolitan geographic area. Controls were selected from the same schools and hospitals of birth and matched on age, sex, race, and approximate socioeconomic status. Participants: 357 individuals with documented cases of childhood maltreatment and 250 matched controlsExposure: Court-substantiated cases of childhood physical or sexual abuse, or neglect occurring at age 11 or youngerOutcome: Biological aging quantified using two blood-chemistry algorithms, the Klemera-Doubal method Biological Age (KDM BA) and the PhenoAge, developed and validated in data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) using published methods and publicly available software. Results: Participants (55% women, 49% non-White) had mean age of 41 years (SD=4). Those with court substantiated childhood maltreatment history exhibited more advanced biological aging as compared with matched controls, although this difference was statistically different for only the KDM BA measure (KDM BA Cohen’s D=0.20, 95% CI=[0.03,0.36], p=0.02; PhenoAge Cohen’s D=0.09 95% CI=[-0.08,0.25], p=0.296). In subgroup analyses, maltreatment effect sizes were larger for women as compared to men and for White participants as compared to non-White participants, although these differences were not statistically significant at the α=0.05 level.Conclusions and Relevance: As of midlife, effects of childhood maltreatment on biological aging are small in magnitude but discernible. Interventions to treat psychological and behavioral sequelae of exposure to childhood maltreatment, including in midlife adults, have potential to protect survivors from excess burden of disease, disability, and mortality in later life.
Economic Evaluations of Treatment of Depressive Disorders in Adolescents in Randomized Controlled Trials: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Courtney Darren , de Oliveira Claire , Rodak Terri , Henderson Joanna , szatmari peter , Ray Cody
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Depressive disorders in adolescents are common and impairing. Evidence-based treatments are available; however, at a cost. In the context of the pandemic, we anticipate increased demand for treatment services for adolescents with depression. We also anticipate that economic resources will be strained. Identifying cost-effective strategies to optimally treat depression in adolescents is imperative. Methods and Analysis: We will conduct a scoping review using established methods and reporting guidelines. MEDLINE, Embase, PsyclNFO, Econlit, and the International HTA Database will be searched from inception to September 1, 2022, while the NHS Economic Evaluation Database archives will be searched from inception to December 2014. Publications that contain economic evaluations in the context of an RCT testing a treatment of depression in adolescents will be selected for inclusion. Extracted data items will include: economic evaluation perspectives, health outcome variables and costs used in economic evaluations, types of analyses performed, as well as quality of reporting and methodology. A narrative synthesis with summary tables will be used to describe our findings.
Character strength traits, states, and emotional well-being: A daily diary study
Authors: Wagner Lisa , Gander Fabian
Published: March 2022

Objective: Does whole trait theory work for character strengths? This study examines the daily within- and between-person variability of the manifestations of positively valued lower-order personality characteristics, namely character strengths, their convergence with trait character strengths, and their relationships to daily measures of affect. Background: Manifestations of personality traits vary both between and within people. So far, research has focused on between-person differences in character strengths, while within-person differences have been neglected.Methods: German-speaking participants (N = 199, 84.3% women; mean age = 26.0 years) participated in a two-week daily diary study. They completed a baseline measure of character strength traits and daily measures of character strength states and positive and negative affect. Results: Results suggested that character strength traits converged well with aggregated states. Further, we observed high within-person variability in most character strengths. The trait-state convergence and the amount of within-person variability were predicted by whether the character strengths were rather phasic (i.e., more dependent on situational characteristics) or rather tonic (i.e., less dependent on situational characteristics). Higher within-person variability in character strengths was related to trait levels of perspective, honesty, social intelligence, and fairness. Regarding relationships between character strengths and affect, within-person associations were widely parallel to previously reported between-person associations and largely independent of trait levels of character strengths. Conclusion: These findings inform research on whole-trait theory and character-strengths-based interventions.
Cross-modality evidence for reduced choice history biases in psychosis prone individuals
Authors: Eckert Anna-Lena , Gounitski Yael , Guggenmos Matthias , Sterzer Philipp
Published: March 2022

Background. Predictive processing posits that perception emerges from inferential processes within a hierarchical cortical system. Alterations of these processes may result in psychotic experiences, such as hallucinations and delusions. Central to the predictive processing account of psychosis is the notion of aberrant weights attributed to prior information and sensory input across the cortical hierarchy. Specifically, aberrant perceptual inference in psychosis has been proposed to result from decreased reliance on priors at low hierarchical levels. Study Design. We investigated the relationship between choice history biases in perceptual decision-making - as a proxy for low-level priors - and psychosis proneness in the general population. Choice history biases and their adaptation to experimentally induced changes in stimulus serial dependencies were investigated in decision-making tasks with auditory (Experiment 1) and visual (Experiment 2) stimuli. We further explored a potential compensatory mechanism for reduced choice history biases by higher-level priors based on predictive cross-modal cues. Results. In line with our preregistered hypothesis, psychosis proneness was associated with decreased choice history biases in both experiments. This association generalized across conditions with and without stimulus serial dependencies. A compensatory reliance on high-level beliefs in psychosis prone individuals was observed in Experiment 2, but not in Experiment 1.Conclusions. Our results support the notion of imprecise low-level priors in psychosis proneness, in line with predictive processing accounts of psychosis. A compensatory mechanism between low- and higher-level beliefs is not supported unequivocally by our data.
Strategies to Increase Access to Outpatient Physiotherapy Services: A Scoping Review
Authors: Crawford Tory , Parsons Joanne , Webber Sandra , Fricke Moni , Thille Patricia
Published: March 2022

Purpose: Multiple Canadian jurisdictions have curtailed public funding for outpatient physiotherapy services, impacting access and potentially creating or worsening inequities in access. We sought to identify evaluated organizational strategies that aimed to improve access to physiotherapy services for community-dwelling persons. Method: We used Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review methods, including a systematic search of CINAHL, MEDLINE, and Embase for relevant peer-reviewed texts published in English, French, or German, and we performed a qualitative content analysis of included articles. Results: Fifty-one peer-reviewed articles met inclusion criteria. Most studies of interventions or system changes to improve access took place in the United Kingdom (17), the United States (12), Australia (9), and Canada (8). Twenty-nine studies aimed to improve access for patients with musculoskeletal conditions; only five studies examined interventions to improve equitable access for underserved populations. The most common interventions and system changes studied were expanded physiotherapy roles, direct access, rapid access systems, telerehabilitation, and new community settings. Conclusions: Studies evaluating interventions and health system changes to improve access to physiotherapy services have been limited in focus, and most have neglected to address inequities in access. To improve equitable access to physiotherapy services in Canada, physiotherapy providers in local settings can implement and evaluate transferable patient-centred access strategies, particularly telerehabilitation and primary care integration.
Violência religiosa e formas de resistência: o caso dos cultos de matrizes africanas
Authors: Teixeira Kamila Cristina da Silva , Hora Góis João Bosco
Published: March 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo examinar a violência dirigida contra as religiões de matrizes africanas no Brasil contemporâneo, assim como algumas formas de enfrentamento desse fenômeno. Para a sua realização, foi compulsado um conjunto de reportagens que tratam a questão, publicadas em dois grandes portais jornalísticos. Tais reportagens foram submetidas a análise temática, a partir da qual foram gerados os tópicos aqui analisados: as religiões mais agredidas; os principais perpetradores; os estados da Federação onde predomina a violência em tela; e os tipos de violência perpetrada. A análise do material mostra que a violência contra o campo religioso afro-brasileiro é difusa, pode apresentar requintes de crueldade e é perpetrada por uma pletora de agentes. No que pese a sua extensão e virulência, ela vem sendo gradativamente enfrentada por um conjunto diversificado de agentes públicos e privados que se opõem frontalmente à sua existência na sociedade brasileira.
Impactos das alterações sociais e jurídicas na conjugalidade, ruptura de vínculos e convivência familiar
Authors: Débora Fernandes Pessoa Madeira  , Rinaldi Colli Luciene , De Oliveira Antero. Vanessa
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho de pesquisa consistiu em uma revisão bibliográfica descritiva dos temas conjugalidade, a ruptura da conjugalidade e a convivência familiar dos membros da família com as crianças e adolescentes. Pretendeu-se, com a pesquisa, analisar a evolução jurídica destes temas no Direito Brasileiro e, paralelamente, conversar com as produções bibliográficas da revista Oikos ao longo dos seus 40 anos de existência, o que foi feito por meio da exploração de 08 artigos da Oikos e obras clássicas da seara jurídica. O diálogo entre o Direito e as produções da revista revelou como a abordagem jurídica pode contribuir para o olhar interdisciplinar das produções da revista Oikos acerca da família. Percebeu-se que o Direito já foi fonte de exclusões e opressões tanto de formas de se viver a família que fossem distintas do casamento, como de membros da família, como as mulheres e as crianças. Além disso, identificou-se que, mesmo com o reconhecimento jurídico da união estável, das famílias homoparentais e da especial proteção de crianças e adolescentes, decorrentes da promulgação da Constituição de 1988, a família continua sendo um espaço de contradição, marcada por proteções e desproteções.

Authors: Oliveira Mariana de Paula , Paes Luana Fernandes Silva , Mafra Simone Caldas Tavares , França Lucia Helena de Freitas Pinho
Published: March 2022

O objetivo do artigo foi identificar e analisar o perfil das publicações científicas da Oikos sobre trabalho, desemprego e aposentadoria nos últimos 40 anos. Nos procedimentos metodológicos, utilizou-se a pesquisa exploratória, através do mapeamento sistemático da literatura, com a análise de conteúdo e a análise estatística. Nos resultados, conclui-se que o perfil de autoria, tinha predominância do sexo feminino, tanto como primeiro autor, quanto nas demais posições da autoria. As principais discussões sobre o tema Trabalho versaram sobre gênero, ergonomia, qualidade de vida do trabalhador. Quando trabalho foi discutido na perspectiva da aposentadoria duas perspectivas se apresentaram, a primeira como a saída do mercado de trabalho, sendo marcada pela finitude e inutilidade social e a segunda sobre a permanência da pessoa idosa no mercado de trabalho. Em relação ao desemprego, a discussão foi pautada nos efeitos que o mesmo causa sobre a família e como esta interfere no cotidiano familiar.
Silêncios e sussurros: a infância e a adolescência em 40 anos de Oikos
Authors: Mattos Barreto Maria de Lourdes , De Castro Claudia Gomes
Published: March 2022

Esse é um artigo teórico, das categorias “infância\criança” e “adolescência\adolescente” em 40 anos da revista OIKOS – Família e Sociedade em Debate. Para delinear esse texto iniciamos com uma questão norteadora: ao longo de seus 40 anos, qual status a revista OIKOS deu à infância\criança e adolescência\adolescente? O objetivo foi identificar os artigos publicados e proceder à análise a partir de diferentes categorias para compreender como o tema foi abordado ao longo desses 40 anos. O levantamento revelou 26 artigos, sendo que na década de 1980 não foi publicado nenhum artigo, 1 artigo na década de 1990, 10 artigos na década de 2000, 11 artigos na década de 2010, e nos dois primeiros anos da década de 2020 foram publicados 4 artigos. A quantidade e diversidade de artigos publicados em uma revista com o recorte “família e sociedade em debate” indica a relevância que a infância e adolescência têm para a compreensão da sociedade.

FURTHER STUDIES OF RADIATION PARAMETERS ON THE MICRODISTRICT PEREMOHA-6
Authors: Oleksandr Pylypenko  , Karasev Alexey  , Katerina Rybalka  , Taras Dubov
Published: March 2022

The article reflects a further study of radiation parameters in the microdistrict of Peremoha - 6 in Dnipro city. Construction materials used as load-bearing, self supporting and external structures of residential and public buildings are made from mineral raw materials and industrial waste. The main building material used to build many residential areas of Dnipro city is heavy concrete (precast concrete, block or panel residential buildings), which accounted for 70-85% of the total construction industry. The issue of studying radiation parameters in residential and public buildings is relevant and its solution is aimed at determining the actual state of affairs in the field of radiation safety of construction projects of Peremoha-6, which are in operation, excluding new buildings and buildings currently under construction and have stricter requirements for radiation and environmental safety. The purpose of the work is to continue conducting systematic radiation surveys of buildings and structures of the housing stock, based on studies of the real level of the radiation background of residential buildings in operation. As a result of experimental studies and calculation of the external and internal components of the total radiation dose, it was found that the values of regulated radiation parameters formed from sources of ionizing radiation of man-made origin and the general radiation background they create in the premises of Peremoha-6 , exceeds the normative indicators for category B, which requires reducing the value of the total radiation dose of the population, based on the implementation of architectural-planning and technical radiation protection measures.
NEED FOR UPDATING OF REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS TO THE GREEN SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF SOFIA
Authors: Veselin Rangelov
Published: March 2022

In recent years, the imperfection of the legislation in the field of spatial planning has become apparent, as can be seen especially in large cities and resorts. Sofia, as the capital of Bulgaria and the largest city in the country, has collected most of the negatives, and they are very clear about the development of the Green System of the city. This, together with advancing global climate change, calls for a new approach and the efficient use of green spaces to improve the city's phytosanitary status.
Volcanism and the Tectonic Development of the Rio Grande Rift and Environs, New Mexico - Colorado, from Analysis of Petrochemical Data
Authors: Gornitz Vivien
Published: March 2022

A computerized data bank of over 1200 published major element analyses has been created, listing volcanic rocks from the Rio Grande rift and its flanks in New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. In this preliminary study, the data for each of the major volcanic fields, summarized on histograms and binary and triangular plots, are compared to establish a relation between petrochemistry and tectonic position with respect to the rift, and to determine temporal changes in volcanicity. No consistent systematic chemical variations across the rift were found, except locally. The only observed chemical change along the rift axis is the southward increase in TiO2-index of rift basalts. Three volcanic districts (Mt. Taylor-Mesa Chivato, Sierra Blanca and Trans-Pecos Texas) differ significantly from the others, in higher total alkali (especially Na2O), total iron oxide, and TiO2 and lower SiO2. These differences do not appear to be related to the Rio Grande rift. The strongly alkalic composition of the Mt. Taylor-Mesa Chivato field (Pliocene-Pleistocene) may arise from its location on the Jemez lineament, which may penetrate to greater depths in the mantle. The considerably older (Oligocene) Sierra Blanca and Trans-Pecos Texas districts, on the other hand, form the eastern­ most of a series of parallel magmatic belts in northern Mexico and Texas, which may have been associated with a broad, eastward-dipping subduction zone during the middle Tertiary. The absence of a distinct petrochemical "signature" for the Rio Grande rift lavas implies that the physico­ chemical environment of melting has remained the same throughout the region. Although the Rio Grande rift is a well-defined geophysical entity, it belongs to a broader zone of crustal extension in the Basin and Range province. The rift has been localized in part by structural "inheritance", and in part by its position as the eastern boundary between the Colorado Plateau and Southern Rockies. Transverse structures, such as the Jemez lineament, have also played an important role in localizing contemporaneous volcanism of highly variable and differentiated compositions, often strongly alkalic.
Uranium and Thorium Abundances, Whole Rock Chemistry and Trace Element Chemistry, Zuni Mountains, New Mexico
Authors: Brookins Douglas G.
Published: March 2022

The uranium and thorium abundances in the Precambrian silicic core rocks of the Zuni Mountains have been determined by delayed neutron activation analysis. The average uranium content of 57 surface and drill core samples is 3.75 ppm, and the average thorium content of 25 samples is 17.13 ppm. The Th/U ratio for 25 samples is 4.5 5, which is slightly higher than the range of 3.7-4.0 reported for many granitic rocks. The uranium in the Zuni Mountains has, in part, been redistributed, and significant amounts may have been removed by weathering or other processes. Rare earth element distribution patterns, positive U vs K20 correlation, and high U content in surface samples suggest local redistribution was significant. No data support the core rocks of the Zuni Mountains as a large potential in situ uranium resource.
Upper Cretaceous Stratigraphy and Tectonic History of the Ridgway Area, Northwestern San Juan Mountains, Colorado
Authors: Weimer Paul
Published: March 2022

Detailed mapping and stratigraphic studies in the Ridgway area, along the northwestern flank of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, indicate that the lower Mancos Formation (Upper Cretaceous) can be subdivided into four members. From oldest to youngest, they are the Mancos 1 , Juana Lopez, Mancos , and Niobrara Members. These members have lithologic and paleontologic content similar to their equivalents in the Denver and San Juan basins, Colorado, and Black Hills, Wyoming. Subsurface and outcrop data to the south indicate that the study area straddles the southwestern margin of the Pennsylvanian Uncompahgre uplift. Structural evolution has been controlled largely by three east-west-trending Precambrian fault blocks- from north to south, the Orvis block, the Ouray graben, and the Uncompahgre block. Recurrent movement of these fault blocks from the Paleozoic through the Cenozoic affected both sediment thickness and facies distribution. A cross section restored to the base of the Dolores Formation (Upper Triassic) indicates that the Permian Cutler Formation increases 1,050 feet in thickness across the Orvis fault, which had down-to-the-south movement, into the Ouray graben. The north-dipping monocline now present at the surface suggests that significant reversal in movement took place during the Laramide orogeny.

‘Men Don't Cry Over Women’
Authors: Abdelazim Ahmed
Published: March 2022

By examining mahragānāt, a genre of music common among the low-income working class in Cairo, and upper-class pop music, this article studies the expression of love and grief across socio-economic classes in Egypt. It challenges the mainstream argument that men, especially those belonging to lower socio-economic classes, are expected to perform ‘like men’ and suppress their emotions and affection. These mahragānāt exhibit extreme affection and grief as men threat of inflicting self-harm or committing suicide if they lose their female lovers. This genre's popularity on social media resonates with increasing suicide rates among lower socio-economic classes due to failed love affairs. By focusing on expressions of love in Egyptian music, this article suggests a dialectic relation between love, class and the understanding of masculinity.
‘The Fire Does Not Disturb Us’
Authors: Sparks Matthew Ryan
Published: March 2022

This article examines the contemporary qaṣīda poetry of South Sinai Muzīna Bedouin women from an anthropological perspective, drawing primarily upon a history of emotions framework, as well as Bedouin ethnographic studies and Arabic literary criticism. The article argues that the composition and vocalisation of qaṣīda poetry in South Sinai is more than a performative art; it is a means of ‘navigating’ one's emotions as a woman in a patriarchal society where emotional expression for both men and women is deemed inappropriate. In the poetry of Nādiyyah and Umm ‘Īd, we gain insight into the subjective lived experience of Bedouin women in South Sinai, as they attempt to poetically express their desire, elation, grief and passion, while simultaneously demonstrating their ability to ‘control’ their emotional states.

Rekreatif Yürüme Fiziksel Aktivitesinin Yaşam Becerisini Geliştirmeye Etkisinin İncelenmesi: Randomize Yarı Deneysel Çalışma
Authors: YILGIN Ahmet
Published: March 2022

Yaşam becerileri günlük hayatta ihtiyaç duyulan kişisel özelliklerdir. Bu özellikler bireylerin refah seviyesini, konumunu, toplumsal uyum ve üretkenliğini arttırmak için gerekli olan beceriler olup, genellikle toplumsal düzeyde eğitim ve öğretim politikaları tarafından planlanmaktadır. Ancak eğitimden çeşitli nedenlerle mahrum olan bireylerin gündelik yoğun yaşamındaki zaman akışında bu becerileri kolayca deneyimleme fırsatı olmadığı bir gerçektir. Bu nedenle bireylere boş zamanlarında yaşam becerilerini deneyimleyeceği farklı seçenek ve araçlar sunulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada kuramsal çerçeve Neulinger'in (1974) boş zaman yaklaşımında belirtmiş olduğu “tercih edilen hedef davranışın yapılmasında özgürlük, motivasyon ve hedefin enstrümantal bir amacı olduğu, hedef aktivite ile bireyin başkaca amaçlar da aradığı” varsayımına dayanmaktadır. Bu yaklaşıma göre bireyin yaşam becerisini geliştirmede rekreatif yürüme fiziksel aktivitesinin etkisinin var olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Çalışmada sosyal, fiziksel ve zihinsel etkisi olduğu düşünülen “rekreatif yürüme fiziksel aktivite programı (RYFAP)” ile 12 haftalık müdahale programı tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmanın deney grubuna haftada 1 gün ve 2 saat olmak üzere 12 hafta boyunca müdahale programı uygulanmış, kontrol grubuna herhangi bir işlem yapılmamıştır. Çalışmada istatistiksel çözümlemeler eşleştirilmiş gruplarda Paired Samples Test, bağımsız gruplarda Independent Samples t Test ve One-Way ANOVA testleri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın analizleri kapsamında birincil sonuçlar grup içi ön test ve son test karşılaştırmalar ve ikincil sonuçlar ise demografik değişkenlerden elde edilmiştir. Katılımcı grupları arasında ölçek toplam puanı ve alt boyutlar bağlamında cinsiyet, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi değişkenleri açısından anlamlı düzeyde farklılaştığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak Neulinger’in (1974) kuramsal yaklaşımına göre yaşam becerilerinin geliştirilebildiği anlaşılmıştır. Yaşam becerilerinin diğer spor ve rekreatif çalışmalarda da araştırılması daha belirleyici sonuçlar elde etmemizi sağlayabilir.

The leather industry is experiencing environmental challenges due to pollution associated with chromium tanning. Vegetable tanning is considered as an ecofriendly alternative method. Previous research studies have established that coffee contains 1-10% of tannins. In this study coffee arabica pulp was determined for its tannin content and tanning strength for potential use as a source of tanning material. The hide powder method was used and the tannin content of coffee arabica pulp determined as 5.04% with the tanning strength of 2.26 compared to mimosa which had a tannin content of 63.56% with a tanning strength of 2.82. Both coffee arabica pulp and mimosa exceeded the 1.5 tanning strength recommended for tanning agents. It was concluded that coffee arabica pulp sufficient tanning strength to be used as a tanning material.

La palabra emprendimiento proviene del francés entrepreneur (pionero), y se refiere a la capacidad de una persona para hacer un esfuerzo adicional por alcanzar una meta u objetivo.

El emprendimiento es entonces aquella actitud y aptitud de la persona que le permite emprender nuevos retos, nuevos proyectos; es lo que le permite avanzar un paso más, ir más allá de donde ya ha llegado. Es lo que hace que una persona esté insatisfecha con lo que es y lo que ha logrado, y como consecuencia de ello, quiera alcanzar mayores logros. (Universidad Santo Tomás, s.f., párr. 1/3)

En la actualidad, debido a muchas crisis que se generan en la economía del mundo, muchas personas se ven afectadas económicamente porque hay índices bajos de empleo. Frente a esta situación, se debe buscar soluciones oportunas que traigan beneficios buenos para contrarrestar la problemática y satisfacer necesidades, para ello se debe tener una visión clara para salir adelante y obtener empleo por cuenta propia, esa es la idea de emprender. Cabe resaltar que, para lograr emprender se necesita de constancia, esfuerzo, creatividad y sobre todo disciplina para encaminarse hacia un éxito seguro.

El emprendimiento puede ser una solución a los problemas económicos que presenta no solo una persona, sino una comunidad. La importancia del emprendimiento está vinculada a la consecución de un sistema económico más justo, en el cual la ética y la economía van unidas. Así mismo, es importante resaltar que “el emprendimiento hace posible nuevas formas de expresiones de innovación social, dando lugar a nuevos modelos de negocios o proyectos (Chica et al., 2017, s.p.). Últimamente, ha sido un tema muy hablado, incluso estudiado, pues, la situación que vivió el mundo por causa de cuarentenas totales en razón de la pandemia covid-19, llevó a que las personas e incluso instituciones gubernamentales pensarán en que los emprendimientos, muchas veces frustrados no solo por la falta de capital, sino por la falta de tiempo para desarrollar dichas ideas, desistieron. Así mismo, en este tiempo, se miró como muchas empresas antiguas innovaron y crearon servicios adicionales a los ya prestados, para cumplir con las nuevas necesidades de esta era; otras personas, al perder sus empleos, utilizaron esto como una oportunidad para hacer que sus ideas de negocio puedan darse aún sin tener un gran capital, gracias a la innovación y creatividad, adicional al tiempo extra que estos días de aislamiento crearon.
Férulas con material reciclable, una alternativa ecológica para rehabilitación en miembro superior

El plástico es uno de los materiales que más deteriora el medio ambiente, tarda en desaparecer de la tierra aproximadamente 1000 años y debido a sus bajos costos se usa principalmente para crear productos desechables que contaminan de manera dramática el planeta y generan graves problemas ambientales, económicos y sociales. (Tinta Verde, 2018, párr. 1)

“Anualmente se producen 300 millones de toneladas de plástico, de las cuales un alto porcentaje termina en ríos y mares, científicos consideran que este es un problema más grave que el cambio climático” (Rojas, 2018, párr. 1). Los múltiples usos de los plásticos originan una importante cantidad de residuos que se acumulan en el ambiente y provocan un gran impacto en él.

La mayoría de los plásticos no son biodegradables y su incineración produce gases tóxicos y dioxinas, muy contaminantes para la atmósfera y los seres vivos; aunque la mayoría de los plásticos pueden ser inmensamente versátiles, también poseen unas propiedades que permiten ser moldeables fácilmente para obtener formas más complejas, esto permite la integración con otros materiales para formar productos ideales y una amplia gama de funciones, así mismo, el plástico puede ser modificado con relleno, colores, agentes espumantes, entre otros, de esta manera, se logra fabricar productos duraderos e idóneos.

Published: March 2022

The current study investigates the bank selection criteria used by the customers of both the conventional and Islamic banks of Pakistan. From six different cities, a sample of 1000 customers was selected in order to find out the factors influencing their selection of a bank. The results showed that “Security of Money” was considered as the most important factor in the selection of banks, both by the customers of conventional and Islamic banks. The results also revealed that the customers of Islamic banks ranked “Competence of Staff”, “Online Banking Facility”, and “Confidentiality of Information” as the second, third and fourth most important factors in the selection of their respective banks. On the other hand, the customers of conventional banks emphasized “Availability of ATM Machines”, “Quick Service”, and “Friendly Behavior of Staff” as the second, third and fourth most important factors in bank selection. Further, the customers of Islamic banks ranked “Shari’ah Compliance” as the seventh most important factor, while the customers of conventional banks ranked it as the twentieth important factor out of the total twenty-five factors. Thus, to retain the existing customers and to attract new ones, both Islamic and conventional banks need to focus on customer preferences when offering their products.

This study aimed to ascertain the factors that affect the Profit Distribution Management (PDM) practices employed by Islamic banks (IBs) to retain their market share. It further analysed whether the presence of Islamic corporate governance can smoothen the profit sharing mechanism followed by the IBs. The study utilized the panel data analysis technique to analyse the data collected from 40 full-fledged IBs for the period 2010-2017 from three different regions, that is, South Asia, Middle East and South East Asia. The findings of the study support the premise that third party funds, asset composition, capital adequacy and market share all have a significant and positive impact on the PDM practices of IBs. Moreover, Islamic corporate governance strengthens the relationship between market share and the PDM practices of IBs. The results of this study have policy implications for the regulators of IBs and financial institutions as they provide insight into the factors that affect the PDM practices of IBs.

The standardization of accounting reporting is important for the purpose of documentation. Such standardization is important, especially when it is related to Islamic instruments, such as zakat, infaq and sadaqah. While certain institutions have already standardized their accounting reporting for zakat, infaq and sadaqah, it is not so apparent when it comes to Lembaga Amil Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah Nahdatul Ulama (LAZISNU) Parepare in Indonesia. It seems that LAZISNU is depending on simple bookkeeping based on incomes and expenses made as balance. This research identifies the practice of bookkeeping as carried out by LAZISNU, with the aim to upgrade the practice of their financial statements according to the accounting standard of PSAK 109. A qualitative case study approach was used in this research. The findings showed that the practice of accounting in LAZISNU depends on simple bookkeeping that only shows cash receipts and their disbursements. A recommendation was prepared for financial statements that can be applied by LAZISNU Parepare by preparing a financial position statement (balance sheet), changes in funds, changes in assets under management, cash flow statement, and summary of accounting policies. By improving such financial statements, LAZISNU may disclose proper, accountable and transparent reports to the stakeholders, particularly the muzakki and the government.

Direct survey method was used to assess and evaluate the perception of the users of Islamic banking and financé. However, the study was circumscribed by the opinions of the survey participants, who were limited in number and scattered across a few major cities of Pakistan.

Moreover, the negative perception is also due to the fact that the same regulator regulates both the banking systems.

It is a matter of fact, people, culture and religion in Bali mingle into one single entity and contribute to the tourism industry which began to rise in the 1970s. The increasing tourism industry has been attracting job seekers from all over Indonesia, even abroad, to work in Bali. As a result, Bali with certain areas such as Denpasar, Gianyar and Tabanan is known as a multicultural area. This is where both Balinese natives who are Hindus, as well as immigrants who are not Hindus interact with each other. With the massive use of social media, the expression of opinions emerges which the uploader sometimes does not realize the impact of uploading social media content. This article aims to describe the impact of social media in a pluralistic society and the sensitive issues related to diversity in Bali.
The article resulted from field research using qualitative method shows that the use of social media poses a threat to plural society as long as it is used to express religious and ethnic hatred, especially regarding the sacred religious rituals. On the other hand, the use of social media to gain electoral support by raising the issue of threatened local majority also endangers non Hindu population. The results of this study indicate that tensions arising from social media contents in Bali can be decreased by mediation using local wisdom, rather than national laws.

White U.S. College Students’ Perceptions Of Prospective International Students Differ By Race And Stereotypical Attributes
Authors: Katz Jennifer , Gravelin Claire , McCabe Elizabeth
Published: March 2022

Because many international students of color report feeling devalued by host peers, host peers’ responses to students from different racial/ethnic groups warrant empirical study. Participants were White, non-Latinx undergraduates (N = 228) who were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Specifically, participants read about a prospective student from either Asia or Europe who was described as exhibiting either model minority stereotypical or counter-stereotypical attributes. Participants evaluated how likely the student was to be admitted to college and the student’s academic and social competence. Despite identical qualifications, participants perceived the Asian student as more likely to be admitted but less academically competent than the European student. Regardless of race, international students with stereotypical attributes were perceived as less socially competent than those with counter-stereotypical attributes. Results suggest that racial dissimilarity reduces host peers’ receptivity towards international students of color. Targeted multicultural education for host peers may be necessary to promote international students’ effective integration.
