Structural geology and tectonic evolution of the Santa Rosa area, SW Mexico State, Mexico
Authors: Tolson Gustavo
Published: May 2021

Una secuencia tripartita de rocas volcánicas y sedimentarias metamorfizadas se ve expuesta entre Tejupilco y Zacazonapan, en el SW del Estado de México. La porción basal, de edad desconocida, y de grado metamórfico hasta la facies de anfibolita, incluye el gneis de Tizpa y su cobertura de esquistos y filitas. Cabalgando sobre estas rocas se encuentra un paquete tect+onicamente imbricado que consiste de rocas jurásicas de la Formación Acuitlapán y calizas con estratos de sulfuros masivos de Pb-Zn (por ejemplo Santa Rosa) pertenecientes a la Formación Amatee del Cretácico Temprano. Estas dos unidades han sido plegadas dos veces, son localmente miloníticas, y han sido metamorfizadas a facies de esquistos verdes. La estratificación transpuesta es paralela a una foliacion S1 cuya inclinación es de 20°-30° al SW y que contiene una lineación por extensión buzante 10°-20° hacia el WSW. S1 ha sido plegada alrededor de un eje buzante 20° al W, con desarrollo local de una foliación espaciada resultado de solución por presión, S2. Los polos de S2 describen una guirnalda de circulo mayor a raíz de una dispersión en forma de abanicos alrededor de charnelas de plieges y de una tercera deformación penetrativa sólo en escala regional. sobreyaciendo este paquete imbricado se encuentra la Formación Xochipala, del Cretáico Tardío, formada por rocas volcánicas de composición intermedia que cambian gradualmente hacia la cima a tobas, luego a grauvacas y calizas. Estas rocas han sido plegadas una vez alrededor del mismo eje buzante al W que el paquete subyacente y la única evidencia de metamorfismo es un incipiente desarrollo de hojuelas de mica blanca o clorita con incipiente orientación preferencial ligeramente oblicua a S2 del paquete subyacente. Fueron estudiadas las texturas cristalográficas de ejes c de calcitas en calizas Acuitlapán, Amatepec, y Xochipala. Las rocas de la Formación Amatepec muestran fuertes orientaciones preferenciales y una simetría monoclínica que indica desplazamiento del bloque de techo hacia el NE, compatible con el transporte tectónico indicado por porfidoclastos en porciones miloníticas de las grauvacas. El mecanismo de deformación interna es maclado mecánico e, con una componente de desliz en r. Estas diferencias en la evolución estructural de los tres paquetes, en esta y otras localidades en la región, sugieren una secuencia compleja de construcción de arco con desarrollo y colapso repetido de cuencas tras-arco para esta porción de México durante el Mesozoico.
Jurassic palaeomagnetic results constraining southerly motions of the Mixteca terrane, southern Mexico
Authors: Ortega Guerrero B. , Urrutia-Fucugauchi J,
Published: May 2021

Con el propósito de investigar la evolución tectónica y paleogeográfica de la porción norte del Terreno Mixteca, se llevaron a cabo estudios geológicos y paleomagnéticos de dos unidades sedimentarias continentales del Jurásico. Los resultados recientemente reportados de dos unidades de Lechos Rojos que muestran características estructurales contrastantes, permiten una revisión crítica de las interpretaciones de la evolución tectónica y del registro paleomagnético mesozoico del Terreno Mixteca. Las direcciones características respectivas de las dos unidades después de correcciones estructurales sencillas y dobles son: Unidad Piedra Hueca, Dec=354°, Inc =4°, k=30, Î±95 = 11°; y Unidad Otlaltepec, Dec 347°, Inc =25°, k =80, Î±95= 14°. Las correspondientes paleolatitudes para el Jurásico temprano y medio son, respectivamente, 12.8°Â±7.9° y 2.2°Â±5.6°, que restringen los movimientos desde una posición más al norte del Terreno Mixteca a magnitudes más pequeñas que aquellas sugeridas previamente. Los desplazamientos latitudinales mayores del Terreno Mixteca con respeto a América del Norte se llevaron a cabo antes de la parte final del Cretácico Temprano (Albiano).
Actividad microsísmica en el área de Canatlán, Durango y su relación con la geología regional
Authors: Yamamoto Jaime
Published: May 2021

Los hipocentros de 22 microsismos (-0.09â‰¤Mcâ‰¤1.1) que ocurrieron en el área de Canatlán, Durango (24°38'N, 105°W) del 30 de abril al 2 de mayo del 1972 fueron determinados. Los eventos se localizan entre la Laguna de Santiaguillo y el flanco oriental de la Sierra de la Magdalena perteneciente a la Sierra Madre Occidental a una profundidad de 1.0 a 5.5 km. La distribución espacial de los epicentros presenta dos tendencias lineales de sismicidad orientadas N21°W y N71°E de longitud 7.2 y 5.4 km respectivamente, que sugiere la existencia de un sistema de fallas conjugadas sísmicamente activas. La tendencia N21°W coincide con la dirección de las antiguas fallas normales longitudinales asociadas con la Sierra Madre Occidental. Aunque no se tiene registro gráfico de los eventos principales ocurridos el 18 de marzo de 1972 al inicio de la secuencia, el radio de perceptibilidad indica que probablemente tuvieron una magnitud mb de 3.1.
Volatile elements in alkaline and calc-alkaline rocks from the Colima graben, Mexico: Constrains on their genesis and evolution
Authors: Macías José Luís , Capaccioni Bruno , Conticelli Sandro , Martini Marino , Rodríguez Sergio
Published: May 2021

Tomando esencialmente como base la composición química de los elementos mayores, tres diferentes grupos de rocas fueron reconocidos en el graben de Colima. El grupo alcalino, calcialcalino y calcialcalino rico en potasio. Dichos grupos fueron originados a partir de diferentes magmas primitivos. El primero de ellos está compuesto por traquibasaltos y de todas las muestras estudiadas, es el que cuenta con las más altas concentraciones en elementos compatibles, elementos incompatibles, potasio y fluor. De los tres grupos, el grupo calcialcalino representado por andesitas y dacitas es el que tiene el más amplio rango en composición debido probablemente a procesos evolutivos de baja presión. El último grupo reconocido (calcialcalino rico en potasio) está formado por andesitas y dacitas ricas en potasio y yace entre los grupos alcalino y calcialcalino. En los grupos calcialcalino y calcialcalino rico en potasio no se encontraron rocas primitivas. Los elementos hidromagmatófilos tienen patrones similares en todas las muestras estudiadas con valores altos de LILE/HFSE. El análisis de los elementos volátiles (F, Cl, S, C) muestra que C y S se encuentran en bajas concentraciones en las rocas básicas de los tres grupos y no presentan tendencias evolutivas significativas; Cl y F son inicialmente bajos en las rocas básicas de los grupos calcialcalinos y calcialcalino rico en potasio y tienden a incrementarse con el grado de evolución. Sin embargo, debido a la exsolución en la cámara magmática a poca profundidad algunas muestras perdieron estos dos halógenos. Es importante hacer notar que las rocas alcalinas tienen concentraciones iniciales de F y K2O muy superiores a las encontradas en las rocas primitivas de los otros dos grupos. Puede asumirse que un manto rico en micas probablemente flogopita, afectado por diferentes grados de fusión parcial, dio origen a los diferentes grupos de rocas encontrados en el área de Colima. Sin embargo esta es sólo una hipótesis de trabajo. Para poder entender los diferentes procesos evolutivos que dieron lugar a las rocas estudiadas, un mayor número de estudios mineralógicos, petrológicos y geoquímicos necesitan ser realizados.

Published: May 2021

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of pre-treatment on corn husks as primary packaging for kerake quality during storage. The design used in this research was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with a single factor i.e. pretreatment consisted of K1 (drying), K2 (combination of steaming and drying), K3 (heating with irons), K4 (sterilization by autoclave), and K5 (oven) and it was repeated three times. Data were analyzed using Co-Stat software with 5% significance differences. The treatments that were significantly different were then analyzed using Honestly Significance Difference (HSD). The results showed that pretreatment of the corn husks as primary packaging was not significantly different on moisture content, fat content, taste, and texture kerake during storage. But were significantly different on flavor kerake. Steaming and drying treatment was able to decrease the growth of total fungi to <1.0 x 102 CFU/gr during 14 days of storage, which means total fungi were still accepted according to SNI (maximum 1.0 x 102 CFU/gr). Steaming and drying treatment also produced kerake with flavor, texture, and aroma that is preferred by panelists.

The evolution of corporate reporting on GHG emissions: A Canadian portrait
Authors: Gagné Vincent , Berthelot Sylvie
Published: May 2021

This paper examines the evolution of the extent to which firms with a high greenhouse gases (GHG) emission impact complied with Chartered Professional Accountants (CPA) Canada guidelines on climate change disclosures, as well as the factors that influenced these disclosures. The sample is comprised of Canadian firms in the mining, energy, and chemical sectors. The study measures the influence of the firms’ political exposure and media visibility, their audit firm, the presence of an environment committee, their ownership structure, and their financial performance on their GHG emissions disclosures. Our findings show that these disclosures considerably evolved over the 10 year period from 2007 to 2017 and that this evolution was in the form of a leap rather than a slow and steady learning curve. We also confirmed the significant influence of the environment committee, political exposure, and media visibility on this evolution. Our empirical results corroborate the work of DiMaggio and Powell (1983), outlining the important role normative pressures play in voluntary GHG emissions disclosure firms make in order to secure the legitimacy conferred by society (Suchman, 1995)
The effect of obturator nerve blockade on oncological outcomes of patients with lateral wall localized non-muscle invasive bladder cancer
Authors: Horsanali Ozan , Eren Huseyin , Dil Eyup , Çaglayan Alper , Erdogan Ozgur , Karaarslan Sermin , AYGUN Hakan
Published: May 2021

Objective: To investigate the effect of obturator nerve blockade on
oncological outcomes of patients with a diagnosis of lateral wall
localized non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Materials and Methods: One
hundred six patients diagnosed with lateral wall localized non-invasive
bladder cancer were evaluated between January 2015 and March 2020 in
this retrospective, cross-sectional observational study. The patients
were divided into two groups: patients receiving only spinal anaesthesia
and those receiving spinal anaesthesia combined with ultrasound-guided
obturator nerve blockade. Oncological outcomes of the groups were
compared statistically. Results: We observed recurrent tumours in 25
patients (45.5%) in Group 1 and 11 patients (21.6%) in Group 2. In
addition, we observed tumour progression in eight patients (14.5%) in
Group 1 and two patients (3.9%) in Group 2. We observed statistical
significance in differences between groups regarding tumour size,
recurrence rate, adequate muscle tissue sampling, the ability for
complete resection and persistent obturator reflex. The efficacy rate of
obturator blockade was 92.1% in Group 2. One-year recurrence-free
survival (RFS) was 98.0% and five-year RFS was 23.5% for Group 1,
while they were, respectively, 97.4% and 57.2% for Group 2.
Conclusion: The obturator reflex is a common and challenging reflex that
may cause major complications and result in unintended consequences such
as incomplete resection or tumour recurrence with transurethral
resection of bladder tumours. In this study, we demonstrated that
combining spinal anaesthesia with obturator nerve blockade for lateral
wall localized non-muscle invasive bladder cancer may prevent tumour
recurrence and reduce perioperative complications.
Stability of Contact Discontinuity with General Perturbation for the Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Reaction Diffusion
Authors:   College of Science, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai 200093, P. R. China, Tang Yajie
Published: May 2021

In this article,for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations which have reaction diffusion, the stability of contact discontinuities is considered. The new characteristic for the flow is appearance of the divergence between energy gained and lost because of the reaction . In the energy equations,the term related to the mass fraction of the reactant leads to new technical problem. To solve this problem, in terms of the solutions,a new system should be set up. Using the anti-derivative method and the elaborated energy method, we obtain that as long as the general perturbation of the initial datum plane and the strength of the contact wave are properly small, the contact wave is nonlinear and stable. As a byproduct, we can establish the convergence velocity of contact wave.

Published: May 2021

The demand for tertiary education among young people is growing worldwide. However, in the first months of the studies, freshmen face increasing difficulties, which sometimes negatively affect their learning motivation. For the successful pedagogical process, teachers need to study the motivation of students of the first study year, monitor it and take into account its peculiarities while developing learning materials and choosing educational strategies. The article presents the results of an international study of freshmen’s motivation. The study aim to compare the motivation of the first-year students at the universities of Riga and Smolensk, to identify prevailing motives and to assess the impact of the psychological atmosphere in the student group on their motivation. In the survey carried out in December 2019, 129 students from two universities in Riga (Latvia) and Smolensk (Russia) participated. The tools for collecting information were the technique of diagnostics of learning motivation by 7 content scales and the technique of measuring the psychological climate in the collective by 10 bipolar scales. For data processing, descriptive statistics, analysis of statistical indicators, and Spearman correlation analysis were used. In both national samples, professional motives for learning prevail over other motives, while prestige motives and avoidance motives take the penultimate and last place relatively. The importance of other groups of learning motives is assessed somewhat differently. For the Smolensk sample of students it was found out that their motivation to learn depends on the psychological atmosphere in the group, especially on the overall atmosphere of success in the group. However a similar correlation has not been revealed in the survey of the Riga sample of students. The study shows that a few months after the start of studying, the first-year students’ overall motivation has not dropped below the critical level. However, for more successful training, it could and should be improved. Some ways to increase freshmen’s motivation for learning are proposed in the article.
An adaptive approach to duct optimization of an industrial boiler air supply system using airfoils
Authors: Stojiljkovic Branimir , Trninic Marta
Published: May 2021

The purpose of this paper is to examine the pressure drop caused by placing an airfoil at different angles of attack in the straight part of the rectangular air duct, as the first step of investigating the possibility of using a staggered cascade of airfoils for gradual deflection of the air-flow in radial elbows of an air supply system used in industrial boilers. The initial problem was approached by using the commercial CFD code based on the finite volume method to numerically simulate a 2-D incompressible turbulent flow and by conducting direct experimental measurements in the wind tunnel. The results of CFD simulations have been compared to experimentally measured data for two considered cases of inlet velocities and five different angles of attack. Numerical solutions show an adequate level of agreement with experimental measurements. The obtained results indicate the possibility of using a staggered cascade of airfoils for gradual deflection of the air-flow.
Associations of Diet Quality and All-Cause Mortality Across Levels of Cardiometabolic Health and Disease: A 7.6-Year Prospective Analysis From the Dutch Lifelines Cohort
Authors: Vinke Petra C , Navis Gerjan , Kromhout Daan , Corpeleijn Eva
Published: May 2021

Objective:
To
simultaneously investigate the association of diet quality and all-cause
mortality in groups with varying cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) at baseline.

Design: From the population-based
Lifelines cohort, 40,892 non-underweight participants aged ≥50 years with data
on diet quality and confounding factors were included (enrollment 2006-2013).
From food frequency questionnaire data, tertiles of the Lifelines diet score
were calculated (T1 = poorest, T3 = best diet quality). Four CMD categories
were defined: 1) CMD-free, 2) type 2 diabetes, 3) one cardiovascular disease
(CVD), 4) two or more CMDs. Months when deaths occurred were obtained from municipal
registries up until November 2019. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards
models were applied for the total population and stratified by CMD categories.

Results: After a median follow-up of
7.6 years, 1,438 participants died. Diet quality and CMD categories were independently
associated with all-cause mortality in crude and adjusted models (p < 0.001).
A dose-response relationship of diet quality with all-cause mortality was
observed in the total population (P for trend < 0.001, T2 vs. T3 = 1.22 (1.07-1.41),
T1 vs. T3 = 1.57 (1.37-1.80)). In stratified analyses, the association was
significant for CMD-free individuals (T1 vs. T3 = 1.63 (1.38-1.93)) and for type
2 diabetes patients (1.87 (1.17-3.00)), but not for patients with one CVD (1.39
(0.93-2.08)) or multiple CMDs (1.19 (0.80-1.76)).

Conclusions: A high-quality diet can
potentially lower all-cause mortality risk in the majority of the ageing
population. Its effect may be greatest for CMD-free individuals and patients
with type 2 diabetes. Tailored dietary guidelines may be required for patients
with extensive histories of CMDs.
Classification on SWARA Method and an Application with SMAA-2
Authors: EROĞLU Özer , GENCER Cevriye
Published: May 2021

Multi criteria decision making methods are decision support systems guiding decision makers in real life problems. The SWARA Method is one of the multi criteria decision making methods proposed in the literature. Many changes, additional steps or mathematical operations have been added to proposed multi criteria decision methods. SWARA Method is also one of the methods that have changed in various ways. However, many studies have not provided any information on these changes. In this study, the changes/variations implemented in the steps of the method were evaluated and an application was practised with another multi criteria decision making method, SMAA-2. As a result of the application, it was observed that the criterion weights and alternative choices have changed.
Participatory Professional Development and Preschool Quality: Evidence from a Mixed-methods Study
Authors: Dietrichson Jens , Ringsmose Charlotte , Christoffersen Mogens , Svinth Lone
Published: May 2021

We used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate a professional development intervention where researchers, preschool teachers, and assistants collaborated to develop ways to improve adult-child interaction. The quantitative evaluation used a cluster-randomized trial where we randomly assigned sixteen preschool units in a Danish municipality to either a treatment group or a control group. The qualitative investigation used focus group interviews. The quantitative evaluation found no significant effects of the intervention on children’s social-emotional, language, and preliteracy skills. The qualitative analysis showed examples of changed beliefs and practices, and indications that the intervention’s focus on selected staff rather than all staff reduced its impact.
Kunnskapsområdene i barnehagelærerutdanningen – en umulig modell? Utfordringer ved faglig integrasjon og profesjonsretting
Authors: Havnes Anton
Published: May 2021

As typical for professional education, early childhood teacher education (ECTE) aims to integrate knowledge from a wide range of disciplinary fields. With the 2013 reform of the Norwegian ECTE national curriculum the 10 disciplinary subjects have been replaced by 6 integrated “knowledge areas”. Research has documented that this shift in curriculum design has been problematic; the old structure seems to prevail in the new model. While acknowledging the essence of integration in professional knowledge, this article critically discusses the rational for the 2013 reform of the ECTE curriculum. Building on recent research on professionalism and a historical analysis of the Norwegian ECTE education curriculum, the article recommends a fundamental rethinking of the design of integration of subject fields in ECTE.
Prevalencia de biotipos gingivales según el somatotipo en estudiantes de la UCSG semestre A-2017
Authors: Pio Proaño Cristina Paulette , Guim Martínez Carlos Andrés
Published: May 2021

Introducción: el biotipo gingival tiene un impacto importante en la supervivencia de los diferentes tratamientos odontológicos. Varios autores aseguran que cada biotipo gingival tiene una respuesta diferente ante fuerzas externas. Por ello debemos tener una comprensión clara del comportamiento del mismo, para que en investigaciones posteriores se pueda conocer adecuadamente su manejo. Además, para tener un diagnóstico preciso se debe de analizar también el somatotipo del sujeto, este puede ser ectomorfo, mesomorfo y endomorfo, según sus características clínicas. Objetivo: observar la relación que existe entre el biotipo gingival y el somatotipo. Metodología: el estudio analítico es de tipo transversal se realizó en 107 estudiantes de odontología de la UCSG, seleccionados al azar según los criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Se determinó el biotipo gingival mediante el método de translucidez de la sonda en los dientes 11, 12, 13. El somatotipo se lo determino mediante el método fotográfico de sheldon, con una fotografía de cuerpo entero. Resultados: fueron analizados 107 sujetos, 72 mujeres y 35 hombres. El 57% del total de los sujetos tuvieron biotipo grueso, el 43% mostró biotipo delgado. Un 39% mostró somatotipo ectomorfo, el 38% somatotipo mesomorfo y el 22% somatotipo endomorfo. Al relacionar las dos variables, de somatotipo ectomorfo un 90% =biotipo delgado, 10%= biotipo grueso, de somatotipo endomorfo un 100%= biotipo grueso, de somatotipo mesomorfo un 80%= biotipo grueso y un 20% biotipo delgado. Conclusión: el somatotipo más prevalente fue ectomorfo, y el biotipo más encontrado fue el grueso. Concluyendo de esta manera que no hay una relación clara entre el somatotipo y el biotipo gingival.
Creative Expression and Contemporary Arts Making Among Young Cambodians
Authors:   Swansea University, Rogers Amanda
Published: May 2021

This project analysed the creative practices and concerns of young adult artists (18-35 years old) in contemporary Cambodia. It examined the extent to which the arts are being used to open up new ways of enacting Cambodian identity that encompass, but also move beyond, a preoccupation with the Khmer Rouge (1975-1979). Existing research has focused on how the recuperation and revival of traditional performance is linked to the post-genocidal reconstruction of the nation. In contrast, this research examines if, and how, young artists are moving beyond the revival process to create works that speak to a young Cambodian population.The research used NGO Cambodian Living Arts’ 2020 Cultural Season of performances, workshops, and talks as a case study through which to examine key concerns of young Cambodian artists, trace how these affected their creative process, and analyse how the resulting works were received among audiences. It was funded through the AHRC GCRF Network Plus Grant ‘Changing the Story’ which uses arts and humanities approaches to ‘build inclusive societies with, and for, young people in post-conflict settings.
A systematic literature review on the effects of bullying at school
Authors: Mohan Tharishini A/p Mana , Bakar Abu Yazid Abu
Published: May 2021

Bullying is a severe problem that is experienced, especially in schools. Children belong to the same social group, but some feel powerful than others and therefore take advantage of them to physically or verbally abuse them. Many institutions are aware, but most cases are not handled because most victims do not report. Therefore, only physical bullying is addressed as the impacts can be easily seen by adults. Various articles were analyzed to illustrate the different effects of bullying on the bully, the victim, and those around. The results demonstrate that bullying results in emotional, physical, and health effects and affects a victim's academic performance.

Experiential Learning and Curriculum for Romanian Primary School Education in the Fundamental Acquisition Stage
Authors: Grigor Dorina , Frentsos Benjamin
Published: May 2021

"No one left behind" is the main idea that the European Union operates on these days. Each person is extremely important; he or she comes with a valuable background. The educational system must help each individual to develop knowledge, abilities and attitudes so that at the end of an educational curricular cycle, he/she is able to successfully self -integrate into the next educational level or stage in life to become the graduate prepared to easily adapt to life. The Curriculum for Romanian primary school has gone through a significant evolution and, thus, it includes activities based on eight key competencies that express themselves in students’ learning. In particular, we refer to learning by experience, learning by reflection, learning by conceptualization, learning by generalizing and about experiential learning. We have to focus on creating and delivering content to students with individualized profiles so they are ready to lead a productive, healthy life, and to be prepared to adapt themselves to the challenges in life whenever necessary.
Towards a Transdiciplinary Systemic Approach to National Heritage-Based Learning. Curricular Insights into the Romanian Art Education Reform in the Glocal Transformative Age
Authors: Cosma Oneţ Mihaela-Gabriela
Published: May 2021

The aporia of the collapsology threats in the contemporary era of globalization, as well as our need for psychosocial-ecological resilience and well-being have shown the crucial imperative to improve education. Thus, it is through innovating the curriculum design and its intimate features that humanity will be able to restore the world’s health and wealth. Consequently, the author stresses an original approach to curricula renewal in order to bridge the gap between school and society while building students’ 21st century competencies. Given the challenges of today’s technological and glocal era, new transformative learning pathways have been established by considering transdiciplinarity as theoretical reference. Hence, this study develops a theoretical systemic model to design a national heritage-based learning curriculum, which underpins collaborative and experiential learning. Likewise, through a transferable competency-based curriculum on national heritage, students undergo a transpersonal well-being as a holistic character-building process.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a sudden and profound impact on international communities. The emergence of COVID-19 has led to drastic measures to ensure social distancing throughout the world, in order to prevent disease. In Romania, prevention measures regarding the infection with the new coronavirus and the limitations imposed at national level suddenly changed the routines and interactions of the population and made many parents feel overwhelmed due to work at home, home-schooling and family care, simultaneously. The national home quarantine policy may have influenced parents' mental health. The present study aimed to investigate the anxiety, self-efficacy, anger, energy level, distrust and frustration about the basic psychological needs of parents during the COVID-19 pandemic and to explore the relationship between them.

Este contraste nos permite observar los cambios que se introdujeron (crítica textual).
La voluntad en Duns Escoto
Authors: De Garay Jesús
Published: May 2021

Se analiza la interpretación escotista de algunos textos aristotélicos para establecer la contraposición entre naturaleza y voluntad. La posición de Escoto implica una reivindicación de la contingencia frente a la necesidad, de la acción frente a la ciencia. Es decir, la distinción entre naturaleza y voluntad le aboca a proponer una ontología en la que el ser contingente precede al ser necesario. El saber de la ciencia que establece las regularidades necesarias de la naturaleza queda subordinado al saber de la acción humana. Se tiene especialmente presente las Quaestiones super libros Metaphysicorum Aristotelis, IX, q. 15.
El sistema de las ciencias de Kant
Authors: Calderón Rosas Mario Leonardo
Published: May 2021

En su obra principal “Crítica de la razón pura”, Kant deja clara su intención de no solo investigar las cualidades epistemológicas del ser humano, sino también de fundamentar las ciencias naturales. Principalmente la física y las matemáticas. El libro “Fundamentaciones metafísicas de las ciencias naturales” continua este proyecto. En su prólogo se excluye aún más a ambas ciencias, al catalogarlas como las únicas portadoras de conocimientos sintéticos a priori. Los problemas surgen con la “Crítica del Juicio” y su apartado “Crítica del Juicio teleológico”. Aquí, Kant intenta legitimar la biología como ciencia natural sin invadir el campo ocupado por la física matemática. El resultado es una biología que porta conocimientos necesarios pero que al mismo tiempo no puede brindarnos leyes constitutivas de la naturaleza. Esta nueva ciencia natural se torna irreconciliable con el sistema de las ciencias naturales que Kant mismo había planteado en sus libros anteriores.

The diseases of the urinary tract in small animal medicine, especially in dogs and cats, occur frequently with different etiologies. The most common cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacteria which enter upwards through the urethral opening. UTIs occur in hosts with compromised defence mechanisms in which the virulent microbes can adhere, multiply and persist in the urinary tract. In addition to bacteria, also viruses or fungi may infect the urinary tracts. Bacterial infection can develop in the upper (kidneys and ureters) or lower (bladder, urethra) urinary tract and are manifested by various clinical signs such as: frequent or difficult and painful urination, presence of blood in the urine, or its foul odour. The symptoms in sick animals are often accompanied by fever, discomfort, and loss of appetite. The UTIs in dogs and cats are caused by both Gram-negative (e. g. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp.) and Gram-positive (e. g. Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., and Enterococcus spp.) bacteria. The properly performed aseptic sampling of the urine is one of the most important steps in bacteriological diagnostics. In this study, 105 urine samples were collected from dogs and cats. The cultivation, microscopy and biochemical examinations were used for species identification. Finally, the bacteriological examination included also determining the susceptibility of pathogens against antibiotics by the disc-diffusion method. The results were processed and expressed as a percentage according to identified pathogens, animal species, sex, breed and age. The uropathogens were diagnosed mainly in males aged 7—10 years. The most commonly identified pathogens were Escherichia coli, Streptococcus spp. and Staphylococcus spp. Tests of bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics showed that enrofloxacin, cefotaxime, and cephazolin were the most effective against uropathogens.
The Use of Endoscopic Diagnosis in Dogs with Upper Respiratory Diseases with Respect to the Localisation of Pathogens and the Subsequent Therapy

Published: May 2021

Bacterial diseases of the upper respiratory tract accompanied with various degrees of clinical signs are relatively frequent in a small animal clinical practice. The clinical signs are usually mild, mostly connected with clinical manifestation of nasal discharge, mild dyspnoea, sneezing, and coughing; however, in some cases they may convert to a chronic stage with serious systemic manifestations. The course and development of complications depends on the etiological agent and the success or failure of the subsequent therapy. An accurate diagnosis is of the upmost importance in order to develop an appropriate therapeutic plan for disease management. The present study focused on: endoscopic visualisation of the upper respiratory tract of the affected animals; localisation of pathological changes, and the targeted collection of the samples. This clinical study involved 26 patients with long-term signs of the affected airways that progressed to chronic stages after the failure of the prescribed therapy. Each patient was clinically examined, sedated and subjected to an endoscopic examination that involved the collection of samples. The samples were examined microbiologically, tested for antibiotic resistance, and a targeted therapy was implemented. The endoscopic and complex microbiological diagnosis enabled: more effective management of the bacterial infection; shortening of the therapy; and a convalescence period that reduced the risk of the development, or the spreading of resistant bacteria.

Xerothermic pavements are plant communities located in sunny and dry sites, comprising many protected and valuable species. In Poland, thermophilic pavements occur in fragmentary patches, and because they are semi-natural communities, they require active protection. Several sites covered by pavements occur in Jaworzno town; the main threat posed on them, that is, overgrowing by bushes and trees, is removed naturally. The town authorities have decided to support sheep grazing, due to which biodiversity of xerothermic pavements is maintained and local sustainable farming is reinforced.

When comparing 100 years ago and today, we always mention the social, economic and political changes that have influenced the emergence and development of the opportunities that we have today, with special emphasis on technological changes. Technology has evolved so fast that it seems that in the blink of an eye something new has just hit the market. Whether we like it or not, technology has become part of us, part of our lives, where we upon spend a great deal of the day with at least one of our technological devices with which we perform many tasks.

Nowadays there are limitless possibilities of gathering information, business, shop, and almost anything through the internet.

Although it is a very easy to make payments online, it can be quite risky, because not every website offers the security and convenience for purchasing the product we want and we may have doubts whether the money we have paid has gone to the right place and for the specific service, which we have paid for. The Internet has many positive as well as negative aspects, since it also carries great danger because it is much easier to hind behind a false identity and commit illegal acts.

Cybercrime presents a new challenge to legal systems, considering that the more individuals use computer, and the Internet, the more the interest of hackers and perpetrators to commit these types of crimes increases.
Automatic Speech Recognition: A Comprehensive Survey
Authors: Rista Amarildo , Kadriu Arbana
Published: May 2021

Speech recognition is an interdisciplinary subfield of natural language processing (NLP) that facilitates the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by machine. Speech recognition plays an important role in digital transformation. It is widely used in different areas such as education, industry, and healthcare and has recently been used in many Internet of Things and Machine Learning applications. The process of speech recognition is one of the most difficult processes in computer science. Despite numerous searches in this domain, an optimal method for speech recognition has not yet been found. This is due to the fact that there are many attributes that characterize natural languages and every language has its particular highlights. The aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various techniques within the domain of Speech Recognition through a systematic literature review of the existing work. We will introduce the most significant and relevant techniques that may provide some directions in the future research.

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a syndrome mostly diagnosed by subjective patients’ symptoms after excluding organic, systemic and metabolic diseases. Aim: The goal of this study is to evaluate gastric emptying in patients with functional dyspepsia, by measuring the antral area (cm2) after the intake of a test meal using ultrasonography as an objective and widely applicable method. Material and Methods: This study included 30 patients (mean age of 46.53 ±9.73 years) with symptoms of FD according to the ROMA IV criteria and 30 healthy individuals (mean age of 42.87 ±4.42 years). A 5 MHz ultrasound probe was used to measure the stomach antral area at 6 different time points: in the fasting state, following the meal intake at 5, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min postprandially. Results: The antral area was statistically significantly larger after a 30-minute postprandial period in patients with FD comparing to healthy controls (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the rate of gastric emptying at 120 minutes in patients with functional dyspepsia, compared to healthy subjects (p <0.01). Patients with postprandial distress syndrome had the average value of gastric emptying 48.25 compared to 56.09 in patients with epigastric pain syndrome (p <0.05). The slowest emptying was observed in patients with nausea and postprandial fullness (p <0.05). Conclusion: Functional dyspepsia is associated with delayed gastric emptying. Using ultrasonography to measure the antral area helps us to assess gastric emptying and therefore to assess patients with functional dyspepsia. The antral area was significantly larger in patients with functional dyspepsia compared to healthy subjects after the test meal, suggesting slower gastric emptying in the dyspeptic patients. Since the diagnosis of functional dyspepsia is based mostly on diverse patients’ symptoms, using ultrasonography to measure the antral area helps us to objectively assess this problem.
