Published: March 2021

The research was conducted to identify the correlation between interest in learning towards students' analytical skills on the concept of work and energy. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with purposive sampling technique of determining the sample. The research sample consisted of 28 people with the characteristics of 20 girls and 8 boys in Senior High School Bandung. The instruments used were questionnaires and tests. The results showed that students' interest in the concept of work and energy was at a very high criterion of 21.43% and a high criterion of 78.57%. The students' analytical skills were in the low criteria of 37% and very low of 63%. Based on calculations using the SPSS IBM 23, the Cramer V value was 0,000 (less than 0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a correlation between student interest in learning and analytical skills on the concept of work and energy. The results of this study indicate the importance of student interest in learning as a provision for receiving learning, especially in students' analytical skills. Therefore, teachers are expected to create a pleasant learning atmosphere to increase student interest in learning and analytical skills.
The combination of KMnO4 with HMO for cyclic adsorption of heavy metal ions and regeneration of adsorbents
Authors: Ding Ruyue , Liu Chao , Xie Fencun
Published: March 2021

In this experiment, three kinds of hydrous manganese dioxide (HMO) with different Zeta potentials were synthesized, and combined with KMnO4 for deep removal of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+. The competitive adsorption of three heavy metal ions was also investigated. The results indicated that the stronger the acidity, the higher the Zeta potential (-54.3) of the synthesized HMO. After regenerating HMO with acidic KMnO4 as eluent, the removal rates of Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ could still reach 79.25%, 80.13% and 60.43% after five cycles of adsorption. The promoting mechanism of KMnO4's effect on HMO was analyzed by SEM, TEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, XPS, BET, and UV-vis. After absorbing heavy metal ions, HMO will release part of Mn (II), and the released Mn (II) reacts with KMnO4 to form a small amount of highly active in-situ HMO. The ‘HMO + KMnO4’ system can not only improve the removal rate of heavy metal ions by HMO, and reduce the amount of adsorbent, but also remove the released Mn (II). Because of its reproducibility, efficiency and simplicity, the research on water purification materials and technologies is of significance.
Use of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model for a new configuration of circular primary settling tank
Authors: Griborio A. G. , Rodríguez J. A. , Enriquez L. , McCorquodale J. A.
Published: March 2021

Appropriately used, computational fluid dynamics models are powerful tools to design and optimize primary settling tanks (PSTs). This paper uses a Fluent-based 3D model to identify the possible causes for underperformance of the circular PSTs at the Cali waste-water treatment plant, Colombia, and to propose design modifications to improve performance. A new configuration for the center well (CW) is proposed and evaluated. The influence of a rotational sludge scraper and of continuous sludge removal were considered in the numerical simulation. The new configuration included the modification of the current CW diameter and the location of a second baffle with the CW. The results suggest that the installation of the second baffle allows a more uniform flow distribution within the PST and consequently, the hydrodynamic problems associated with short-circuiting of the influent to the bottom of the tank are reduced. The second baffle suppresses the downward current, effectively dissipates the kinetic energy in the influent and forces the particles to move toward the bottom of the PST. In addition, the second CW baffle allows the formation in the inlet zone of a consistently more concentrated sludge blanket layer and thicker sludge, reducing the risk of solids leaving in the effluent of the PST.
Organic matter affects phosphorus recovery during vivianite crystallization
Authors: Li Changyu , Sheng Yanqing
Published: March 2021

Vivianite crystallization is a promising route for phosphorus (P) recovery from P-rich wastewater. However, organic matter (OM) in wastewater may influence vivianite formation. In this study, the effects of four representative OMs, glucose, bovine serum albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA) and sodium alginate (SA), on P recovery by vivianite were investigated. The results showed that P recovery efficiency was inhibited by HA and SA, declining by 3.7% and 12.1% under HA (100 mg/L) and SA (800 mg/L), respectively. BSA, HA and SA affected the aggregated form of vivianite crystals. Vivianite particle size decreased in the presence of HA and SA. Subsequent mechanistic exploration indicated that the complexation between the OM and Fe2+ was the main cause of P recovery efficiency reduction. The coprecipitation of HA and SA with vivianite could reduce the zeta potential on the crystal surface, resulting in a smaller particle size. The nucleation sites provided by BSA and SA could transfer vivianite from single plate-like agglomerate to multilayer plate-like agglomerate. This study provided a better understanding of P recovery by vivianite from OM-rich wastewater.
THE KNOBE EFFECT FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THOMISTIC ETHICS: THE PROBLEM OF NORMATIVE ORDERS AND COMPETENCES
Authors: Waleszczyński Andrzej
Published: March 2021

This article discusses how to interpret the so-called Knobe effect, which refers to the asymmetry in judgments about the intentionality of the side effects caused by one’s actions. The observed tendency is explained through the “moral undertone” of the actions judged. So far, discussions have mostly been held among philosophers in the analytical tradition, who see the theory of morality largely as an ethics of rules. The analysis developed in this article advances the research carried out so far to include teleological ethics, most notably the tradition of Thomistic ethics. Philosophical discussions address the problem of normative orders, focusing in particular on two types of cognition concerned, respectively, with moral judgments and facts. Investigating this issue proves to be helpful not only to explain the Knobe effect, but also to better understand the very notion of an intentional action as employed in the philosophy of action. As a result of this analysis, the Author explains the existing asymmetry in the attribution of intentionality to actions with the respondents’ confusion between cognitive orders. This problem brings us to the issue of normative competences. In analyzing the Knobe effect, normative competences would be responsible for the classification of the data collected and separation of the “purely informative” order from the order of moral judgments, referring to norms or values.

(Bio)Power to the People? Harnessing Potential in the Creative and Cultural Workplace
Authors: Cohen Nicole S.
Published: March 2021

By now, glamourous accounts of work in creative and new media industries are common: foosball tables, kitchens stocked with junk food, on-site laundry services, and office complexes that seem more like playgrounds than worksites. This paper considers the practices of these creative and cultural workplaces through Foucaultâ€™s notion of biopolitics. A conception of biopolitics as the maintenance and regulation of life itself (Foucault, 1978) can account for these practices as strategies designed to harness the potentiality of labour power and channel it into production for capital accumulation. Although new media workplaces may seem â€œfun,â€ some tactics of these workplaces may be better understood as strategies of control, designed to facilitate the self-governing, self-regulating, productive worker.
Dialogue on Public Broadcasting in Canada: An Interview with Wade Rowland
Authors: Mowbray Mike , Rowland Wade
Published: March 2021

In framing the call-for-papers that kicked off this special issue, we asked potential contributors â€œwhat considerations might guide our attention as we think through public media as a socially central symbolic space that ought to be returned to the public interest? How might we come to re-inhabit public institutions?â€ Further to this, we queried possible contributors about the role and potentials of public broadcasting (notably the CBC) in a changing mediascape, and the possibilities for public media â€“ not limited to the specific domains of established public broadcasters such as the CBC and the provincial educational networks, but rather appealing to an open interpretation of the term â€“ that might be prefigured or imagined at present. As outlined in the introduction to this issue, the written pieces that arose from this line of questioning are varied and vital in their contributions.

To place this exercise in context, it is important to note that this special issue of Stream was conceived and produced in conjunction with a public event held at the Wosk Centre for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University on February 6th, 2014 under the title â€˜Occupy Public Broadcasting: Alt. Futures for the CBCâ€™. That eveningâ€™s discussion brought together an eclectic panel and participating audience of media scholars, practitioners, activists, and concerned community members in dialogue and debate over the relative merits, limitations, and â€“ most importantly â€“ the future prospects for the CBC, other public broadcasters, and public media beyond this (circumscribed) context.

The Commodification of the Body Positive Movement on Instagram
Authors: Cwynar-Horta Jessica
Published: March 2021

Since 2012 there has been a heightened presence of the body positive movement on Instagram. Women who occupy non-normative bodies use the platform to post selfies to challenge dominant ideals of feminine beauty, including the demands to produce smooth skin, adhere to body size norms, and avoid bodily fluids. This has been accompanied by a barrage of media outlets advising their readers on the top body positive accounts they need in their life to boost their body confidence, and how to be body positive on Instagram for more self-love (Irish Examiner, 2016; Burke 2015; Vino, 2015; O'Reilly, 2016). News media circulated articles across social media platforms with stories heralding women who, through the use of selfies, open up about their experiences with eating disorders, shut body shamers down, challenge "bikini body" myths, and confront expectations directed at women's post-pregnancy bodies. Women who share the same experiences of and frustration with dominant ideals of femininity have identified with and participated in this movement through the use of body-positive hash tags, captions, and subject matter. However, as the popularity of the body positive movement and the influence of advocates grew, corporations began commoditizing the body positive advocates and using their influence to push products, capitalizing off of the movement. During the commodification process, the body positive advocates lose sight of their purpose and reproduce dominant capitalist ideologies, objectify their own bodies, and accept beauty modification practices.
Risk Assessment of Importation and Local Transmission of COVID-19 in South Korea: Statistical Modeling Approach
Authors: Lee Hyojung , Kim Yeahwon , Kim Eunsu , ‍Lee Sunmi
Published: March 2021

Background

Despite recent achievements in vaccines, antiviral drugs, and medical infrastructure, the emergence of COVID-19 has posed a serious threat to humans worldwide. Most countries are well connected on a global scale, making it nearly impossible to implement perfect and prompt mitigation strategies for infectious disease outbreaks. In particular, due to the explosive growth of international travel, the complex network of human mobility enabled the rapid spread of COVID-19 globally.

Objective

South Korea was one of the earliest countries to be affected by COVID-19. In the absence of vaccines and treatments, South Korea has implemented and maintained stringent interventions, such as large-scale epidemiological investigations, rapid diagnosis, social distancing, and prompt clinical classification of severely ill patients with appropriate medical measures. In particular, South Korea has implemented effective airport screenings and quarantine measures. In this study, we aimed to assess the country-specific importation risk of COVID-19 and investigate its impact on the local transmission of COVID-19.

Methods

The country-specific importation risk of COVID-19 in South Korea was assessed. We investigated the relationships between country-specific imported cases, passenger numbers, and the severity of country-specific COVID-19 prevalence from January to October 2020. We assessed the country-specific risk by incorporating country-specific information. A renewal mathematical model was employed, considering both imported and local cases of COVID-19 in South Korea. Furthermore, we estimated the basic and effective reproduction numbers.

Results

The risk of importation from China was highest between January and February 2020, while that from North America (the United States and Canada) was high from April to October 2020. The R0 was estimated at 1.87 (95% CI 1.47-2.34), using the rate of α=0.07 for secondary transmission caused by imported cases. The Rt was estimated in South Korea and in both Seoul and Gyeonggi.

Conclusions

A statistical model accounting for imported and locally transmitted cases was employed to estimate R0 and Rt. Our results indicated that the prompt implementation of airport screening measures (contact tracing with case isolation and quarantine) successfully reduced local transmission caused by imported cases despite passengers arriving from high-risk countries throughout the year. Moreover, various mitigation interventions, including social distancing and travel restrictions within South Korea, have been effectively implemented to reduce the spread of local cases in South Korea.
Days Needed to Characterize the Healthfulness of a Typical Dinner Meal in Direct Observational Research: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Tate Allan , Trofholz Amanda , Miner Michael , Berge Jerica
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

Prior research around the home meal environment has demonstrated that family meals are associated with positive health outcomes for children and adolescents. Researchers have begun using direct observational methods to understand key aspects of family meals such as meal healthfulness and family meal frequency to explain the protective nature of family meals. Direct observational research, however, can be resource intensive and also burdensome for participants. Information about the number of days needed to sufficiently characterize typical meal healthfulness using direct observational research methods is needed.

OBJECTIVE

The current study aimed to produce guidance about the number of meals necessary to approximate typical meal healthfulness at the family dinner meal occasion in a direct observational, mixed methods study of the home food environment.

METHODS

Families were recruited between 2012-2013 from primary care clinics in the Minneapolis–St Paul metropolitan area (N=120). A total of 800 meals were collected as part of the Family Meals LIVE! mixed methods study. The Healthfulness of Meal Index was used to evaluate meal dietary healthfulness of foods served at 8 family meal occasions. Participating families were provided an iPad (Apple Inc) and asked to video-record 8 consecutive days of family dinner meals with a minimum of two weekend meals. After the meal, families completed a meal screener, which is a self-reported, open-ended measure of the foods served at the meal.

RESULTS

Weekend and weekday meals differed in their measurement of meal healthfulness, indicating that at least one weekday and one weekend day are necessary to approximate meal healthfulness. Single-day measurement mischaracterized the strength of the relationship between the quality of what was served and intake by almost 50%, and 3 to 4 observation days were sufficient to characterize typical weekly meal healthfulness (r=0.94; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Relatively few direct observational days of family meals data appear to be needed to approximate the healthfulness of meals across 1 week. Specifically, 1 weekday and 1 weekend observation are needed, including a total of 3 to 4 days of direct observational meal data. These findings may inform future direct observational study designs to reduce both research costs and participant burden in assessing features of the meal environment.
Immersive Virtual Reality and Ocular Tracking for Brain Mapping During Awake Surgery: Prospective Evaluation Study (Preprint)
Authors: Casanova Morgane , Clavreul Anne , Soulard Gwénaëlle , Delion Matthieu , Aubin Ghislaine , Ter Minassian Aram , Seguier Renaud , Menei Philippe
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

Language mapping during awake brain surgery is currently a standard procedure. However, mapping is rarely performed for other cognitive functions that are important for social interaction, such as visuospatial cognition and nonverbal language, including facial expressions and eye gaze. The main reason for this omission is the lack of tasks that are fully compatible with the restrictive environment of an operating room and awake brain surgery procedures.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a virtual reality headset equipped with an eye-tracking device that is able to promote an immersive visuospatial and social virtual reality (VR) experience for patients undergoing awake craniotomy.

METHODS

We recruited 15 patients with brain tumors near language and/or motor areas. Language mapping was performed with a naming task, DO 80, presented on a computer tablet and then in 2D and 3D via the VRH. Patients were also immersed in a visuospatial and social VR experience.

RESULTS

None of the patients experienced VR sickness, whereas 2 patients had an intraoperative focal seizure without consequence; there was no reason to attribute these seizures to virtual reality headset use. The patients were able to perform the VR tasks. Eye tracking was functional, enabling the medical team to analyze the patients’ attention and exploration of the visual field of the virtual reality headset directly.

CONCLUSIONS

We found that it is possible and safe to immerse the patient in an interactive virtual environment during awake brain surgery, paving the way for new VR-based brain mapping procedures.

Authors: Cruz Flávia Oliveira de Almeida Marques da , Faria Edison Tostes , Ghobad Pabblo Cardelino , Alves Leandro Yukio Mano , Reis Paula Elaine Diniz dos
Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND

Mobile apps targeting women with breast cancer can facilitate access to information, improve well-being, and record reports of treatment-related symptoms. However, it is important to confirm the benefits of these apps before they are used as a tool in clinical care.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to evaluate the functionality and the usability of a mobile app created to guide and monitor patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy.

METHODS

The evaluation process of the mobile app was performed in 2 steps with 8 professionals, including nurses, physician, medical physicists, and communication networks engineer. The first step was the focus group, which allowed obtaining suggestions proposed by the participants regarding the improvement of the mobile app. The second step was the individual filling in of an evaluation tool to obtain objective measures about the mobile app. A minimum concordance index of 80% was considered to ensure the adequacy of the material.

RESULTS

After the mobile app was evaluated by 8 professionals, only 1 item of the evaluation tool, that is, concerning the potentiality of the app to be used by users of different educational levels, obtained a concordance index <80%.

CONCLUSIONS

The mobile app titled “AMOR Mama” was considered suitable, which suggests its contribution to an educational health technology to guide and monitor patients with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy. More studies with this target population should be carried out to assess the performance and quality of the mobile app during its use.
The Halal Tourism Trajectory: The Emergence and Challenges the Case of Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Rindrasih Erda
Published: March 2021

Halal tourism has attracted a lot of attention in contemporary tourism and hospitality research. However, only a few studies have been conducted to understand the emerging process and challenges in practising halal tourism in a specific geographic location. This article attempts to investigate the new emerging halal tourism that has been taking place in Aceh, post-tsunami 2004. This paper is based on the fieldwork conducted in 2016 and 2017 in Aceh applying interview and focus group discussion with the tour guides, tour agents, community, and local government. Moreover, additional online interviews were performed in 2020. By understanding the process, this article suggests that a new niche of ‘halal tourism’ can also be driven by the community needs rather than tourist’s market needs. Moreover, the implementation of halal tourism under the Sharia Law has been challenged by both internal and external factors. Internally, it is challenged by the risk of natural disaster, the possibility of political instability, and institutional certification problems. Meanwhile, externally, practising halal tourism is challenged by the misperceptions of Islam (Islamophobia) and marketing label.

Published: March 2021

Objective: The objective of the present study was to improve the aqueous solubility and dissolution characteristics of the loop diuretic furosemide (FUR); a class IV drug in the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) using solid dispersion technique.

Methods: Solvent evaporation and kneading methods were used to produce solid dispersions of FUR in different ratios with the hydrophilic carrier polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 (PVP-K30). The prepared solid dispersions were evaluated in terms of solubility study, percentage yield, drug content and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic study (FT-IR). Tablets containing the optimized formula of solid dispersions ( were formulated and their dissolution characteristics were compared with commercial furosemide tablets.

Results: The prepared solid dispersions showed an increase in aqueous solubility, especially those formulated in a 1:2 drug: carrier ratio using solvent evaporation method ( it showed a four-fold increase in solubility compared to the parent drug. The absence of drug-carrier chemical interactions that could affect the dissolution was proved by FT-IR. Solid dispersion tablets exhibited a better dissolution profile in simulated gastric fluid pH 1.2 at 37°C ± 0.5 than the commercial FUR tablets in terms of mean dissolution time (8.44 min) and dissolution efficiency in 30 min (42.54%). Both FUR solid dispersions and commercial tablets followed Weibull and Krosmeyer models as the two best models of drug release kinetics proving that they were immediate release.

Conclusion: According to the results obtained in this study, solid dispersion techniques could be successfully used for the enhancement of aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of FUR.

Authors: Andrade João Henrique de , Santiago Nestor Eduardo Araruna , Caminha Uinie
Published: March 2021

Trata-se de análise de discurso do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ) em relação ao juízo de admissibilidade da denúncia. Busca-se entender se a jurisprudência do STJ encontra eco no texto constitucional quanto à necessidade de fundamentação das decisões judiciais. Foram levantados 107 julgados no interstício de 2008 a 2019, em que se pretendeu compreender a evolução no entendimento jurisprudencial a respeito da necessidade de fundamentação da decisão de recebimento da denúncia após a edição da Lei n. 11.719/08. A metodologia utilizada é de caráter quantitativo e qualitativo. O estudo aponta que o STJ vem apresentando uma resposta inadequada ao texto constitucional, pois o juízo de admissibilidade como decisão judicial requer uma fundamentação à luz do art. 93, IX, da Constituição Federal e do art. 315 do Código de Processo Penal.
A aplicação de medidas cautelares pessoais em audiências de custódia: um olhar a partir da prisão em flagrante de pessoas em situação de rua
Authors: Romão Vinícius De Assis
Published: March 2021

O artigo partiu da pergunta: como ocorre a aplicação de medidas cautelares pessoais nos encontros presenciais entre atores jurídicos e pessoas em situação de rua em audiências de custódia? Realizou-se pesquisa de campo no Núcleo de Prisão em Flagrante e Audiências de Custódia de Salvador, em dois períodos do ano de 2018, coletando dados em distintos contextos de demanda por ordem na cidade, para entender os sentidos conferidos por juízes, promotores e defensores em relação às medidas cautelares em espécie. Dentre a observação de audiências com 69 custodiados, a pesquisa teve como amostra operacional casos de 19 pessoas em situação de rua. Em relação a estes, também foi realizada análise documental dos 19 autos de prisão em flagrante e 52 processos pretéritos, entre ações penais e autos de prisão em flagrante, que constavam como registros criminais. Expandindo a análise para além da mera ausência ou insuficiência de fundamentação nas decisões e analisando a técnica do “paredão” como procedimento informal de audiência, problematizou-se as funções não declaradas que vêm sendo atribuídas às medidas cautelares, a depender do contexto de demanda punitiva, e a conformação da lógica da “prisão a médio prazo”. O trabalho conclui que as medidas tidas como alternativas, além de não serem debatidas sob os critérios legais de cautelaridade, exercem uma função de antecipação punitiva e se inserem na gestão sociorracial urbana, apresentando conexões mais profundas com a prisão preventiva, que é mantida em seu horizonte.

Exclusión de la prueba pericial científica (de baja calidad epistémica) en fase de admisibilidad en procesos penales de tradición románica-continental: Diálogo entre dos culturas jurídicas
Authors: Vera Sánchez Juan Sebastián
Published: March 2021

En este trabajo analizamos los criterios de exclusión de la prueba pericial científica de baja fiabilidad epistémica proveniente de dos culturas jurídicas diversas: common law y civil law.  Se desarrolla la relación entre ambos grupos de criterios para afirmar que los criterios Daubert pueden ser aplicables en los sistemas de enjuiciamiento del civil lawcuando se trate de casos claros. La libertad de incorporación de medios de prueba, el derecho a la prueba y el debido proceso son limitaciones que impiden una aplicación amplia de la exclusión probatoria en estos casos.
After Zigzagging Between Extremes, Finally Common Sense? Will Belgium Return to Reasonable Rules on Illegally Obtained Evidence?
Authors: Verbruggen Frank , Conings Charlotte
Published: March 2021

In the absence of statutory rules on the matter, Belgian courts traditionally applied a strict exclusionary rule for illegally gathered evidence and its fruits. The Court of Cassation in 2003 made a spectacular U-turn and prohibited exclusion of illegally obtained evidence by criminal courts, with only very limited exceptions. Parliament subsequently incorporated these judge-made principles into a binding statutory rule. As a new Code is about to be debated in Parliament, the time is right to question the “normalisation” of law enforcement officers’ disrespect for the rules. The Rule of Law will be restored by making exclusion of illegally gathered evidence the rule, but exceptionally allowing its use upon consideration of the conflicting interests.
Inutilizzabilità delle prove e delitto di tortura nel sistema processuale italiano
Authors: Bronzo Pasquale , Colaiacovo Guido
Published: March 2021

Gli autori esaminano la nuova fattispecie di inutilizzabilità introdotta nel codice di procedura penale italiano contestualmente all’inserimento nel codice penale della previsione che incrimina la tortura. Dopo aver tratteggiato le origini della disciplina e i connotati dell’illecito, affrontano le questioni di carattere processuale per rivolgere l’attenzione su un tema particolarmente complesso e dibattuto che attiene alle conseguenze che l’inutilizzabilità può produrre non soltanto sull’atto compiuto in violazione di un divieto, ma anche sugli altri atti ad esso collegati e, in particolare, sulle prove raccolte nel processo inquinato da condotte di tortura.
Un acercamiento a las relaciones sociales de explotación en dos enclaves globales agroexportadores en el noroeste mexicano
Authors: Velasco Ortiz Laura , Hernández Campos Carlos
Published: March 2021

Objetivo: analizar las bases sociales del enclave agroexportador a través del estudio de las relaciones sociales de producción en dos regiones agroexportadoras de Baja California Sur, donde convergen capitales globales y regionales con el traslado de trabajadores para sostener el proceso productivo. Metodología: consiste de dos encuestas representativas realizadas entre 2014 y 2015 en campamentos de trabajadores jornaleros agrícolas en el valle de Vizcaíno y el valle de Santo Domingo. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva y un modelo de regresión logística binaria. Resultados: las relaciones sociales de producción van más allá del espacio laboral, con formas de explotación precaria, y abarcan el control de la movilidad y de la residencia. Limitaciones: el alcance de la generalización del estudio dadas las conexiones tan específicas que confluyen en las regiones estudiadas. Valor: el aporte a la discusión sobre las escasas conexiones regionales de los capitales globales y su efecto en la producción y reproducción de las desigualdades a escala regional. Conclusiones: las relaciones de explotación en regiones globales, como las estudiadas, se sustentan en el control de la residencia y la intensificación del trabajo, lo cual tiene efectos en la reducción de las expectativas de vida de los trabajadores y pone en peligro la reproducción social de los trabajadores y sus familias.
Sobre los límites del derecho a la libertad de expresión en la democracia liberal. A propósito de la falacia que en la democracia se puede decir lo que se desee
Authors: Cuartas Henao María Dolly
Published: March 2021

Este artículo de reflexión tiene como objetivo dar elementos conceptuales que permitan exponer los límites en las democracias liberales a la libertad de expresión, desde el campo en la Constitución Política de Colombia (CP), en los discursos de la teoría política clásica y contemporánea, y en el discurso axiológico. Hoy la búsqueda de tales límites se debe hacer, porque con la falsa creencia el un derecho sin límites y con las plataformas digitales, se produce de manera constante transgresiones a la esfera íntima y privada de las personas, llegando a afectar su vida diaria.

Authors: Martínez Mendoza María del Carmen , Gutiérrez Mendía Anabel , Bonaparte Caballero Edith , Gómez Alons Carlos , Lajud Naima
Published: March 2021

Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de depresión en adultos mayores en una Unidad de Medicina Familiar (umf) de Michoacán, México y su asociación con el género, la escolaridad y la edad. Métodos: estudio transversal analítico. Participaron adultos mayores de 60 a 84 años de edad en la umf No. 5 de Sahuayo, Michoacán, de marzo a junio de 2019, se utilizó el test de Yesavage. El género, el grado de escolaridad y la edad fueron consideradas como factores asociados. Se utilizó la prueba de χ2 para identificar las diferencias de proporciones entre los factores asociados y r de Spearman para determinar correlación. Resultados: se incluyó a 117 adultos mayores. La prevalencia de depresión en la muestra fue de 40.17%. No se observaron diferencias en la proporción por género (femenino: 53.85% y masculino: 46.15, p= 0.79%), en el grado de escolaridad (primaria: 82.91%, secundaria: 11.97%, preparatoria: 3.42% y licenciatura: 1.71%, p= 0.57), o en la edad (p>0.05). El análisis de correlación no mostró asociación entre ninguna de las variables. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de depresión en adultos mayores fue mayor a la reportada en otros grupos; no obstante, en la muestra estudiada no se observaron las asociaciones con el género, la escolaridad y la edad, aspectos que se han reportado previamente. La depresión en los adultos mayores es una patología que se encuentra subdiagnosticada y no manifiesta un rasgo determinante, por lo que el médico de primer nivel deberá realizar una búsqueda intencionada.
Ola Ka ʻĀina
Authors: Kim Lia
Published: March 2021

What is the environment? To many, the environment is the space in which animals and plants dwell, and is separate from humans. One’s wellbeing is considered to be internal; the health of a person is often seen as a self-contained process of individual longevity and happiness. In the Hawaiian language, there are two approximate phrases for the notion of environment: 1) ʻano o ka nohona - oneʻs relationship to oneʻs place, and 2) nā mea e hoʻopuna ana - everything that encircles the person. The linoleum block print, Ola ka ʻāina (loosely translated as "We, the environment, thrive"), represents the intertwined relationship between humans and “the environment.”Within the print, the sun’s energy trickles down as stream water to sustain the agricultural fields of traditional crops, then becomes ocean in which sea creatures dwell. It then drapes the woman as hair, which represents spiritual power within Hawaiian and Korean culture, only to return back to the earth in which new life grows. As an artist and farmer with Hawaiian and Korean cultural values, the environment is not a separate entity from man, but a physical manifestation of relationships. Therefore, our well-being is dependent on how we connect and care for each other. ʻĀina, a Hawaiian word often translated as “land,” literally means “that which feeds.” Therefore, the way we interact with our skies, mountains, fields, oceans, and other living beings is a reflection of our own health as individuals. This notion continues to be an essential foundation for the sustainability of the collective health of my cultures and has immensely influenced my work as an undergraduate scholar in sustainable agriculture at Stanford University. I hope to encourage everyone to cultivate a relationship with all that is around us through growing and eating whole foods,
Dietary Amino Acid Deficiency with a Restrictive Raw Vegan Diet: A Case of Orthorexia Nervosa: Lacking Lysine/Methionine Madness
Authors: Williams Kim , Patel Hena
Published: March 2021

It is often stated that a plant-based diet can lead to protein deficiency, although this has never been reported with a well-balanced vegetarian diet. This case reports the results of a highly restrictive plant-based diet, which led to deficiencies in critical serum proteins with near fatal results. This was easily corrected by broadening the raw vegetarian components of the diet.

Kharouf, Sh., Sh. Hamzeh and M.F. Azmeh. 2021. Races Identification of Wheat Rusts in Syria during the 2019 Growing Season. Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 39(1): 1-13. Wheat rust diseases, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (stripe or yellow rust), P. triticina f. sp. tritici (leaf or brown rust) and P. graminis f. sp. tritici (stem or black rust) are important factors affecting both durum and bread wheat production in Syria. Considerable losses were caused by these diseases, especially stripe rust, estimated at more than one million metric tons, in the 2010 season, out of 5 million anticipated production. Therefore, it is essential to monitor and follow the movement of these three rust physiological races. In the 2019 growing season, 165 wheat fields were surveyed, and 312 samples were collected and characterized. Ten races of stripe rust were identified in ten locations, of which, four represent new record in Syria, namely the races 16E154, 69E150, 264E46 and 258E64. In addition, four races of leaf rust were identified in four locations, one of which (BKLP) is a new record in Syria. In addition, three previously recorded stem rust races were identified from three different locations. It should be mentioned that the newly recorded races of stripe rust are able to overcome resistance genes Yr1 and Yr5, on which the resistance of durum wheat cultivars such as "Cham3" depended, with a disease severity of 40S recorded in the same locations. It is also worth noting that the stripe rust race 462E128 (warrior) was not detected in the isolates studied. Likewise, the stem rust race Ug99 was also not identified, and because of the aggressiveness of this race, continuous inspection through field surveys accompanied with pathogenicity tests is essential during the coming seasons.
