REVISITANDO A PROVA DOS NOVE: VESTÍGIOS DE SUA ORIGEM, ASCENSÃO E DECLÍNIO
Authors: Silva Adalberto Carlos do Nascimento Silva , Moretti Méricles Thadeu Moretti , Costa David Antonio da Costa
Published: November 2022

Este artigo insere-se no campo da história da educação matemática e busca percorrer marcas de um conteúdo que por muito tempo foi ensinado com destaque nas escolas primárias: a prova dos nove. Hoje não mais pertencente aos programas escolares. Sendo assim, apresenta-se textualmente o esboço de uma linha do tempo, levantando indícios de sua origem, ascensão e queda. Chama-se atenção para a diferença entre “prova dos nove” e “noves-fora” e detalha-se a regra prática da prova dos nove para as quatro operações aritméticas fundamentais. Destaca-se o prestígio dessa prova na escola e fora dela. Faz-se uma análise de sua inconsistência quando aplicada para verificar a correção de uma operação aritmética. Por fim, revisa-se a abordagem da prova dos nove a partir da sistematização dos artigos de Lacava (2016); Lacava e Costa (2016); e Zuin (2019), sobrestados, respectivamente, as obras de José M. Lacerda “Arithmetica da Infancia” (1890); Cezar Pinheiro “Arithmetica Primaria” (1902); e Carlos Góes “Exames de Admissão” (1930). Depreende-se dessa revisita que a prova dos nove está alinhada nas três obras com as quatro operações fundamentais da aritmética, servindo-lhes como verificação de seus resultados a despeito de sua inconsistência.

Published: November 2022

Introducción: La vacunación contra SARS-CoV-2 ha logrado alta eficacia y efectividad en la disminución de enfermedad grave, hospitalización y muerte. Sin embargo, en Colombia a pesar del gran avance en el Plan Nacional de Vacunación hasta la fecha el Instituto Nacional de Salud reporta un total de 5.127.971 personas que han contraído la enfermedad y 129.798 víctimas mortales. Objetivo: Caracterizar clínica y sociodemográficamente a los pacientes inmunizados contra SARS-CoV-2, atendidos por COVID-19. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo retrospectivo. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de COVID-19 confirmado posterior a la inmunización parcial o completa contra SARS-CoV-2 y atendidos en un hospital universitario de Colombia entre febrero y noviembre de 2021. Los datos fueron analizados con estadística descriptiva, usando frecuencias absolutas, relativas, medidas de tendencia central y desviación estándar. Resultados: Se incluyeron 206 pacientes de los cuales 52,4 % eran hombres. La edad promedio fue de 59,43 (±17,59) años; 46,6 % contaba con esquema de inmunización completo, siendo Sinovac el biológico aplicado con mayor frecuencia; 34,4 % de los pacientes requirió estancia en unidad de cuidado intensivo, con un promedio de 7,67 (±5,42) días. La mortalidad intrahospitalaria de los pacientes inmunizados fue de 25,7 %. Conclusión: La edad continúa siendo un factor determinante en la mortalidad de los pacientes infectados por SARS-CoV-2. Contar con comorbilidades preexistentes aumenta el riesgo de desarrollar formas graves de la enfermedad, así como de requerimiento de unidad de cuidado intensivo y la mortalidad.

Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Establecer variables prehospitalarias y clínicas de ingreso asociadas con supervivencia por COVID-19 en pacientes hospitalizados en unidad de cuidado intensivo (UCI). Métodos: Diseño ambispectivo, cohorte de comienzo, con una muestra representativa de pacientes mayores de 18 años, hospitalizados en UCI en un centro de referencia del nororiente colombiano, con infección confirmada por SARS-CoV-2 del 3 de junio del 2020 al 3 de enero del 2021. No se realizaron intervenciones; las variables de interés estudiadas fueron: condiciones sociodemográficas, prehospitalarias, clínicas al ingreso y supervivencia al alta de UCI. Resultados: Se analizaron 607 pacientes, fueron excluidos 18 menores de edad y 120 sin condiciones de egreso definidas. Se realizó un cálculo del tamaño de muestra de los 469 restantes para un análisis final con 304 pacientes. La mortalidad fue del 50 %. Los factores predictores en mortalidad fueron: nitrógeno ureico (BUN) mayor a 20 mg/dl (OR: 2,83 IC 95 % 1,49 - 5,38), proteína c reactiva (PCR) mayor a 100 mg/dl (OR: 2,34 IC 95 % 1,22 - 4,48), dímero D mayor a 7.000 ng/dl (OR: 3,36 IC 95 % 1,23 - 8,83), presión arterial de oxígeno (PaO2 ) menor a 91 mmHg (OR: 2,11 IC 95 % 1,11 - 3,99), puntaje de escala NEWS 2 mayor a 7 puntos (OR: 2,03 IC 95 % 1,05 - 3,90), deshidrogenasa láctica (LDH) mayor a 290 u/l (OR: 2,45 IC 95 % 1,01 - 5,97), plaquetas menores a 150,000/μL (OR: 2,33 IC 95 % 1,00 - 5,45), ajustado por sexo y edad categóricas en décadas. Conclusiones: El BUN, la PCR, el dímero D, la LDH, el conteo de plaquetas, la PaO2 y el puntaje de la escala NEWS 2 fueron las variables que desde el ingreso evidenciaron asociación con el desenlace de mortalidad en esta población. Identificar alteración en estos valores favorece una intervención eficaz que mejora el pronóstico de esta enfermedad.

Authors: González Vélez Ana Cristina , Valencia Aguirre Salomé
Published: November 2022

Objetivo: Estudiar los efectos de la COVID-19 en la salud sexual y reproductiva (SSR) de las mujeres, jóvenes, adolescentes y niñas en Colombia. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo en el que se estimaron: la razón de mortalidad materna (RMM), incidencia de sífilis congénita y acceso a métodos anticonceptivos para los años 2019 y 2020, contemplando distintas desagregaciones según información disponible (grupos de edad, etnia, estatus migratorio y departamento de residencia). Resultados: Los tres indicadores analizados sufrieron un empeoramiento entre 2019 y 2020 y además se observó un incremento desproporcionado entre distintos grupos de mujeres. El rezago fue mayor en menores de 14 años, indígenas, y afrodescendientes. Conclusiones: La pandemia desatada por COVID-19 supuso un agravamiento de las desigualdades de género, expresadas en las brechas de indicadores críticos de la salud reproductiva de mujeres, adolescentes y niñas en Colombia para el año 2020. En este sentido, es importante enfocar los esfuerzos de la política pública y el presupuesto en los grupos que muestran las mayores afectaciones.
Demanda de prevalencia-elasticidad para la vacunación covid-19
Authors: Olivera Mario Javier , Porras-Villamil Julian Felipe
Published: November 2022

Según la teoría de la elasticidad de la prevalencia de la enfermedad, la demanda de vacunación contra el COVID-19 aumenta con la prevalencia de esa enfermedad. El objeto de este punto de vista es la demanda de vacunación contra el COVID-19 y la prevalencia-elasticidad de la enfermedad desde la perspectiva de la economía de la salud. En este contexto, se ha visto que durante la pandemia hubo oleadas con incremento de casos y aumento de la prevalencia entre ciertos grupos de edad. Este aumento se ha atribuido al comportamiento humano, la aparición de nuevas cepas y la falta de vacunación. En ese sentido, la demanda prevalencia-elasticidad implica que el comportamiento del individuo es endógeno a la dinámica de la enfermedad, lo que influye en la propagación de la infección y el éxito de las políticas de salud. Para superar esta pandemia, se ha sugerido instituir políticas de vacunación obligatoria. Sin embargo, la libre elección de vacunarse es preferible a la vacunación obligatoria, aunque no sea socialmente óptima.

Debido a la pandemia por COVID-19 se han propuesto múltiples estrategias para prevenir su transmi-sión, siendo la vacunación la principal a nivel mundial. Se han aplicado más de 75 millones de dosis de vacunas contra COVID-19 en Colombia para 2022. Documentamos e informamos un caso de síndrome de Guillain-Barré posterior a la aplicación del biológico ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 en Colombia, caracterizado por debilidad ascendente, parálisis facial, compromiso respiratorio y disautonomía. El diagnóstico se confirmó correlacionando la presentación clínica con el análisis del líquido cefalorra-quídeo, estudios de neuroconducción y resonancia magnética cerebral. Se trató con inmunoglobulina, con posterior estabilización y mejoría clínica. Los clínicos deben estar alertas ante este posible evento adverso asociado con la vacunación contra COVID-19 y reportarlo a los entes de farmacovigilancia.

Lifelong Learning and the C-DELTA Programme: A Case Study of Experiences of ICT Teachers in Mauritian Primary Schools
Authors: Goodoory Kaviraj
Published: November 2022

Commonwealth Digital Education Leadership Training in Action (C-DELTA) is a long-term programme of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) to promote digital education environments in Commonwealth nations. While the C-DELTA programme has been implemented in secondary and tertiary Institution, the Mauritius Institute of Education implemented this programme at the primary level level. // Since 2015, Mauritius has embarked on a transformative restructuring of the primary and secondary education sector, locally known as the Nine Years of Continuous Basic Education reform. Introduction of ICT as a subject from Grade 1 was one of the major changes that this reform brought about. ICT support officers who were recruited to provide technical support in schools were called upon to teach ICT. This was a very challenging experience for them as only 33% had any prior training in teaching. The implementation of the C-DELTA programme in Mauritius provided them an opportunity to update their knowledge in ICT education. // This case study presents the experiences of ICT teachers working in primary schools in Mauritius. It outlines the challenges they faced and their learning experiences. The teachers perceived C-DELTA to promote life-long learning and the strategies they used to self regulate their learning. They also discuss the impact of the programme in their professional practice.

A Unified Approach to Enhancing Quality of Education Through Cloud and Technology Augmented Learning and Course Management in Higher Education
Authors: Srivathsan Kalyanapuram R
Published: November 2022

We propose in this paper the “Technology Augmented Learning and Course Management”, or TALCoM that is well suited for integration of online or e-Resources in to Course Curriculum and conduct. The system is evolved for the Indian scenario of Affiliating Universities and their colleges. It is centred on the development of ‘Pedagogically aligned Executable Lesson Plans’, or PELP over the course curriculum to be developed. Course PELP is developed by university assigned group of Subject Matter Experts (SME). The SME may choose the desirable pedagogy and method of course delivery for incorporating into the PELP. It is used to configure the delivery system – be it an LMS, MOOC or any custom platform using which the course is conducted. We call the whole methodology as the ‘Technology Augmented Learning and Course Management’, or TALCoM. Both Formative and Summative assessments are integrated in TALCoM. TALCoM methodology requires some IT support that is aligned with the course delivery model. TALCoM has been shaped by the discussions with the Vice Chancellors of the state universities of Jharkhand in India. The approach presented in this paper is also of value in modernizing teh system of course development and conduct in any collaborating group of colleges or stand-alone institutions as well. TALCoM is also well adapted into the ODL system of education under the Open Universities.

Published: November 2022

This study investigated students' readiness for digital learning in senior secondary schools in Lagos state, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research design was adopted in the study. A sample size of 245 respondents was randomly selected from four educational districts in Lagos using confidence level of 95% (0.05). A Multi stage sampling approach involving both simple and stratified random sampling technique was used to select the students. The sample for the study is made up two hundred students randomly selected across 8 schools in four educational districts in Lagos. A self-developed 4-point Likert-type scale on the research objectives was used as an instrument of data collection and the instrument was thoroughly scrutinized by an expert in the area of ICT. The instrument was validated and found to be reliable. It was personally administered by the researchers. Four research questions and two hypotheses guided the study. Both descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions and inferential statistics as used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed among others that there is positive disposition/perception of respondents towards digital learning. The study also revealed that there is no significant gender difference in perception and utilization of digital learning facilities among the students. The study therefore recommended that the secondary school administrators should incorporate digital learning as part of the curriculum to enhance the interest of learner.
Case for a Virtual University in Sri Lanka
Authors: Ariadurai Samuel Anbahan
Published: November 2022

Sri Lanka considers education as a wealth and offers facilities for education at various levels. It fares well ahead of many countries at primary and secondary education enrolments. However, it is much behind in tertiary education enrolments, thus denying access to quality higher education opportunities for most of the population, due to lack of places in the existing higher educational institutes. Many countries that have set targets to increase enrolments in higher education are considering online education, which offers flexible yet rigorous education opportunities for this purpose. Accordingly, it is proposed that focusing on the positive aspects arising out of Covid-19 pandemic, an online virtual university be established in Sri Lanka, adapting the best practices implemented globally to suit the specific local conditions with maximum flexibility. This would enable increased student intake and widening access to higher education, most of them away from urban centres, for the rural population to pursue higher education at an affordable rate and bring about a social transformation taking Sri Lanka to higher levels.

Published: November 2022

The promising use of digital technologies by persons with disabilities (PWDs) for education, employment, social and economic integration in the society is evident. As such, digital skills for the successful utilisation of digital technologies to support, societal inclusion is necessary. This study highlights a case study conducted with a sample of PWDs to evaluate their digital literacy status in Fiji using a digital literacy scale. Furthermore, a digital literacy remediation tool was used to improve the understanding of digital literacy and the digital literacy skills of the selected sample in Fiji. The results reveal that the participants were very low to low digitally literate. The digital literacy remediation was not attempted by any of the participants indicating lack of confidence in attempting technology driven modules. Although the remediation tool was tailored to include the PWDs, there are recommendations from the participants on its further improvements. The digital literacy scale and the digital literacy remediation tool fostered effective learning of digital skills for the persons with disabilities thus paving a way for promoting equity and inclusion in the digital society.
Internet not Available! Using Offline Networked Learning to Enhance Teachers’ School-Based Continuing Professional Development in Zambia
Authors: Woodward Clare
Published: November 2022

Access to effective Continuing Professional Development can be difficult for teachers in sub-Saharan Africa, impacting their capacity to learn from best practice and improve their teaching approaches. Internet and cellphone services are seen as potential solutions, offering digital resources and online training. However, these are hindered by limited or expensive network coverage, leaving poorer-resourced and more remote schools behind. // Zambian Education School-based Training (ZEST) has trialled an innovative approach for teachers: an offline networked learning approach. Deploying low-cost, battery-powered small computers as networked hubs has enabled collaborative, digitally enhanced professional development training where internet access is too expensive or unreliable. Central to ZEST is the idea of teachers learning together in Teacher Group Meetings. Raspberry Pi computers, accessed via teachers’ own smartphones, have allowed educators to work together in proximity, sharing open digital resources. // Through interviews and observations and drawing from Blumenfeld et al.’s diagnostic framework (2000), we report on teachers’ and school leaders’ impressions of the benefits and challenges of this novel approach. We reflect on its adoption, appropriation, enactment, and maintenance by school systems. We offer findings that may be more broadly applied to support school-based professional development in similarly restricted environments.
Between the Ivory Towers and the Prison Walls: Prison Inmates’ Decision to Pursue Tertiary Education in Open University Malaysia
Authors: Raghavan Santhi
Published: November 2022

Being a correctional entity, the Malaysian Prison Department through its vision and mission is responsible to provide a safe detention and rehabilitation. One of its objectives is to ensure suitable and effective correctional programmes for all categories of inmates. One of the programmes set up by Malaysian Prison Department is to have a collaboration with higher education providers to offer tertiary education for inmates in order to equip them with knowledge and skills to pursue work after release. One of such engagement is the provision of the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes for inmates in selected Malaysian prisons by Open University Malaysia (OUM). OUM conducts undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes for prison inmates. This study aims to determine the factors influencing prison inmates’ decision to pursue higher education in the prisons. 37 respondents from a total of 68 prisoners-students are involved in this study. The Stakeholder Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour were adopted as the underpining theories as they are related to attitude and planned behaviour. The Stakeholder Theory enables us to comprehend how a diverse range of stakeholders impact prisoner learning and comprehend the expectations and duties of distinct stakeholders regarding prisoner learning. Whereas, the Theory of Planned Behaviour postulates that an individual’s behaviour is determined by their intention to engage in such behaviour. Factor analysis was utilised to identify if these three factors (student attribute, social influence and financial aid) influenced prison inmates’ decision to pursue Open University Malaysia’s programmes in prisons. Results of the multiple linear regression indicated that there was a significant effect between student attribute and decision to study, which means that inmates' own characteristics will motivate them to continue learning which can lead to future success in their pursuit for excellence in tertiary education.

Published: November 2022

Campylobacter is responsible for human gastroenteritis worldwide. C. jejuni and C. coli are most frequently encountered in animals, birds and man, but mainly C. jejuni is particularly adapted to poultry. The disease in humans ranges from gastroenteritis to Guillain-Barre Syndrome. To know the status of Campylobacter species especially, C. jejuni in poultry environment in Punjab, 342 poultry fecal samples (228 from layers and 114 from broilers) were collected from 30 poultry farms of Punjab. Additionally, 27 fecal samples from poultry farm workers were also collected. Analysis of the samples revealed that 21 (6.14%) fecal samples (from poultry farm) and two (7.41%) from farm workers were positive for Campylobacters based on cultural and molecular detection. Out of 23 Campylobacter positive isolates, 19 (80.95%) were C. jejuni and 4 (19.04%) were C. coli. Antibiotic resistance in the isolates was low. The majority of the isolates were sensitive to macrolide and quinolone class of antibiotics which are important for the treatment of campylobacteriosis. Pulse Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE) showed high genetic diversity among C. jejuni, however, it was limited in C. coli isolates. Poultry production in Punjab poses a potential risk of campylobacteriosis. However, antibiotic resistance in the isolates was low.

Published: November 2022

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of supplementation of urea mineral molasses block (UMMB) containing variable levels of urea and bentonite on nutrient utilization and economics of feeding of crossbred calves. Twenty four male crossbred calves were divided into four equal groups following completely randomized design and fed individually for 120 days. In Group 1, 70% of crude protein (CP) requirement was met through feeding of concentrate mixture and remaining CP was supplied through UMMB and ad lib. wheat straw (control). In Groups 2, 3 and 4, the feeding regimen followed was same as that of control except that UMMB was replaced with UMMB-A, UMMB-B, UMMB-C which vary in physical composition (wheat bran, urea, cement and bentonite content). There was no significant difference in feed intake and digestibility of macro-nutrients among the groups. Intake of UMMB was significantly lower in Group 4 as compared to the other groups. The nitrogen and phosphorus intake, excretion and retention was non-significant among the groups. A significant increase in calcium intake in Group 1 was observed. The excretion of calcium through faeces and calcium balance was non-significant among the groups. The feeding cost per kg bodyweight gain (`) was higher in Group 1 followed by 3, 2 and 4, respectively. On basis of present results, it may be concluded that supplementation of UMMB containing 15% urea and 10% cement can replace 30% crude protein of concentrate mixture without any adverse effect on feed intake, digestibility and nutrient utilization of crossbred calves.

The present study was conducted during kharif season of 2017 with objective to study the influence of different intercropping combinations of forage sorghum and legumes (cowpea and guar) on forage productivity and quality. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 7 treatments consisting of three different forage crops, viz. sorghum, cowpea and guar sown in sole treatment as well as in 1:1 and 2:1 intercropping combinations of forage sorghum with legume crop components. Results revealed that the highest total green fodder yield (434.61 q/ha) and total dry matter yield (90.65 q/ha) were obtained with sorghum+cowpea (2:1) and sorghum+guar (2:1) intercropping combinations, respectively. Forage sorghum recorded significantly higher CP content (8.92%) in sorghum+guar (1:1) intercropping combination. Significantly higher ether extract of sorghum (2.03%), cowpea (2.60%) and guar (2.61%) were found in their (1:1) intercropping row proportion. The maximum total CP yield and total EE yield (10.35 and 1.93 q/ha), respectively were reported in sorghum+guar (1:1) ratio, while total ash yield (9.18 q/ha) was recorded in sorghum+guar (2:1) intercropping ratio. The sorghum planted under 1:1 intercropping row ratios of sorghum with cowpea/ guar crops recorded significantly lowest value of NDF (61.12-61.14%) and ADF (30.12-30.15%) and ADL (4.24-4.26%) over 2:1 row ratio intercropping of sorghum with cowpea/ guar and its sole stand. The minimum value of NDICP on DM% and ADICP DM% basis and NDICP on CP% and ADICP CP% basis were reported in 1:1 intercropping proportion. Therefore, considering overall results of our study, it can be concluded that to realize higher production and quality of forage sorghum its cultivation in 1:1 and 2:1 row ratio with legumes (Guar/cowpea) can be recommended.

Published: November 2022

Livestock products are not only rich in calories but have a high nutritional value too. The northern hill states of Himachal Pradesh (HP), Uttarakhand (UK), and erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir (now a UT) face unique challenges which may have a direct bearing on food security. The present study used NSSO reports pertaining to the year 2011-12 to analyse the consumption pattern of livestock and nutritional contribution in northern hill states. Apart from high CAGR in real MPCE (2.6-4.8%) on livestock products, their share in total food expenditure has also risen and it has overtaken the expenditure on cereals in the states considered. Liquid milk was the major livestock product consumed and its level of consumption was much higher than national average. Highest consumption of milk in HP in India calls for ramping up the cattle productivity. Consumption of chevon/mutton in JK and HP was unparalleled. There is huge demand for the market curd in urban areas of the hill states. Livestock products contributed a major chunk of proteins (18-28%) and fats (33-37%) in the northern hill states. Consumption of eggs, fish, and meat in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh was very less.

Published: November 2022

The phytochemical content of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) genotypes varied in accordance of type of compound and genotype. Out of 20 genotypes, only three genotypes (Kashi Lalima, Kashi Kranti and VROB-178) showed significantly higher amount of phytochemicals (ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll, anthocyanin, total carotenoids, total phenolics and total antioxidants activity). Among these genotypes Kashi Lalima showed highest ascorbic acid (19.63 mg/100 g) and anthocyanin content (0.14 mg/100 g) while highest chlorophyll content (5.75 mg/100 g) and total carotenoids content (1.71 mg/100 g) were recorded in Kashi Kranti. The amount of total anthocyanin and phenol compound varied from 0.08 to 0.14 mg/100 g of fresh weight (FW) and 38.88 to 62.82 (mg catechol equivalent/100 g fresh weight), respectively. The total moisture content and total crude fiber content also showed a significant difference within the range of 80.14 to 93.16% and 1.30 to 4.40 % of fresh weight, respectively. The highest total phenolics and moisture content was observed in genotype VROB-178, while highest crude fiber percentage was represented by Kashi Satdhari. Hence, selected okra genotypes containing good amount of phytochemicals, which can be further used for nutritional quality improvement of okra in future breeding programs.
Retos y posibilidades de la capacitación y profesionalización policial con perspectiva de género
Authors: Vera Salinas José Manuel
Published: November 2022

El libro que tiene en sus manos, apreciable lector, es el resultado de una preocupación permanente por reflejar en la operación cotidiana de nuestras corporaciones policiales los elevados estándares en materia de derechos humanos que se contemplan en las Constituciones Federal y Estatal y en los tratados internacionales y que son el sustento de las políticas públicas del Gobierno del Estado en materia de seguridad pública. La mejora continua en su aplicación pasa por un necesario análisis sobre las condiciones de posibilidad de la actuación policial, no desde un enfoque abstracto pensado desde un deber ser teórico, nítido en el papel, pero inviable en los hechos, sino de tomar en cuenta los tramos de oportunidad y las capacidades institucionales ya desplegadas en la formación y capacitación de los policías y en la ejecución de sus responsabilidades. Es el policía el agente de transformación de la seguridad pública en México, y debe serlo a partir de una profunda convicción en que su actuar debe estar guiado por la perspectiva de género; no sólo para cumplir con el doble reto de observar políticas eficaces para la paz social a la vez que cuidar de los derechos individuales y colectivos, sino para hacerlo con especial atención de aquellos que se encuentran en situación de vulnerabilidad, como es el caso precisamente de las mujeres, que de manera recurrente a lo largo de la historia han sido víctimas de conductas delictivas por el hecho mismo de ser tales; condición de género a la que no se le ha asignado la importancia que debiera ni, en consecuencia, ha permeado, si se me permite la expresión, al ADN de la actuación policial. Es este el ámbito en el que hay un importante margen de mejora por parte del conjunto de las instituciones de la nación mexicana para dar atención eficaz a los justos reclamos de justicia de la sociedad civil organizada, de ahí que el simposio Retos y posibilidades de la capacitación y profesionalización policial con perspectiva de género, realizado el pasado 10 de diciembre de 2018, de cuyas ponencias aquí se da cuenta, esté en la dirección correcta y tenga un impacto estratégico para que, de la mano de académicos de reconocido prestigio, integrantes de organizaciones no gubernamentales y operadores del nuevo sistema de justicia penal, se delineen e incorporen mecanismos focalizados para avanzar en esta impostergable materia de preocupación social que es también de una prioritaria atención en el quehacer público.
The activity of information in biomolecular systems: a fundamental explanation of holonomic brain theory
Authors:   Integrative Neuroscience Group, Melbourne Australia, Poznanski R.R.
Published: November 2022

We wish to suggest a mechanism for binding intrinsic information based on an inter-cerebral superfast, spontaneous information pathway involving protein-protein interactions. Protons are convenient quantum objects for transferring bit units in a complex water medium like the brain. The phonon-polariton interaction in such a medium adds informational complexity involving complex protein interactions that are essential for the superfluid-like highway to enable the consciousness process to penetrate brain regions due to different regulated gene sets as opposed to single region-specific genes. Protein pathways in the cerebral cortices are connected in a single network of thousands of proteins. To understand the role of inter-cerebral communication, we postulate protonic currents in interfacial water crystal lattices result from phonon-polariton vibrations, which can lead in the presence of an electromagnetic field, to ultra-rapid communication where thermo-qubits, physical feelings, and protons that are convenient quantum objects for transferring bit units in a complex water medium. The relative equality between the frequencies of thermal oscillations due to the energy of the quasi-protonic movement about a closed loop and the frequencies of electromagnetic oscillations confirms the existence of quasi-polaritons. Phonon-polaritons are electromagnetic waves coupled to lattice vibrational modes. Still, when generated specifically by protons, they are referred to as phonon-coupled quasi-particles, i.e., providing a coupling with vibrational motions. We start from quasiparticles and move up the scale to biomolecular communication in subcellular, cellular and neuronal structures, leading to the negentropic entanglement of multiscale ‘bits’ of information. Espousing quantum potential chemistry, the interdependence of intrinsic information on the negative gain in the steady-state represents the mesoscopic aggregate of the microscopic random quantum-thermal fluctuations expressed through a negentropically derived, temperature-dependent, dissipative quantum potential energy. The latter depends on the time derivative of the spread function and temperature, which fundamentally explains the holonomic brain theory.

Published: November 2022

U ovom radu autori ulaze u problematiku parlamentarnog razvoja krajem dvadesetog veka, kao i savremenih tendencija odnosa parlamenta i izvršne vlasti. U prvom delu rada se objašnjava problem legitimiteta parlamenta kroz teorijsku analizu legitimiteta vlasti i predstavljanja i učešća naroda u toj vlasti. Sledi kratak pogled na načelo podele vlasti i njena dva osnovna modela, parlamentarni i predsednički sistem, da bi se prešlo na današnje tendencije položaja i funkcija parlamenta u Evropskoj uniji. Prvo se daje uporednopravni pregled nekadašnjih socijalističkih država, a danas punopravnih članica Evropske unije, koje su sve prihvatile demokratske tekovine parlamentarnog sistema, naravno u većoj ili manjoj meri, sa određenim oscilacijama. A zatim, s obzirom na to da je parlamentarni sistem dominantni sistem vlasti u Evropskoj uniji, razmotriće se njegove tri varijante u ostalim državama Evropske unije, i to: 1) gde u odnosu na parlament izvršna vlast jača u licu šefa države, 2) gde u odnosu na parlament izvršna vlast jača u licu vlade ili njenog predsednika i 3) gde parlament i izvršna vlast ostaju uravnoteži.
INSTITUT INTERPELACIJE U PARLAMENTARNOM PRAVU FRANCUSKE

Published: November 2022

Autori izdvajaju i detaljno analiziraju karakteristike, funkcije i značaj interpelacije, koja predstavlja tradicionalnu parlamentarnu prerogativu u oblasti političke kontrole izvršne vlasti, ali i značajno pravo poslanika – individualno ili kolektivno. Interpelacija može da stavi u izgled političku odgovornost vlade sa efektima ostavke ili izglasavanje nepoverenja vladi ili jednom njenom članu. Ona nužno navodi na otvaranje rasprave pred licem javnosti, što bez obzira na ishod debate predstavlja javnu i informativnu komponentu ovog instituta. Autori, koristeći komparativni, istorijsko-pravni i dogmatsko-pravni metod, daju kratak prikaz razvitka ovog instituta kroz različite epohe francuske ustavnosti i, na kraju, predstavljaju pozitivnopravna rešenja.

Authors: UPRETI ANANYA , RAI VEENA , BISHT RAHUL
Published: November 2022

Introduction: The science of creating a job to fit the worker is known as ergonomics. Ineffectiveness and suffering at work stem results from disregarding ergonomic principles. Poor seating, a lack of frequent short pauses while working, and poor viewing distance all contribute to symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, etc. in various body parts like the wrists, shoulders, back, and legs as well as eye strains. Numerous health risks can be avoided with correct workplace organisation, seat height, working posture, armrest and backrest use, wrist and elbow alignment that is straight, and keyboard positioning.

Methodology: A self-structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from 150 study participants who were chosen through the purposive sample method. To collect information about personal profile variables, a self-structured knowledge questionnaire is used. The study's results showed that the majority of participants, 60.7%, had average knowledge, 20.7% had poor knowledge, and 18.7% had good knowledge regarding ergonomics to prevent the health risks associated with prolonged computer use. Except for the length of computer stay, which was found to be statistically significant at the 0.05 level of significance, the majority of the demographic variables were not significantly associated with the level of administrative staff knowledge regarding ergonomic to prevent health hazards of extended computer usage.

Conclusion: Study concluded that administrative staff have average knowledge (60.7%) regarding ergonomic to prevent health hazard of extended computers usage and only 18.7 % of study participants have good knowledge regarding ergonomic to prevent health hazard of extended computers usage.
