Estudio preliminar de los hallazgos de Canis familiaris en la Pirámide con Rampa N°7, Santuario de Pachacamac, Perú
Authors: Pozzi-Escot Denise , Cornejo Rivera Isabel , Angulo Costaneira Enrique , Bernuy Quiroga Katiusha
Published: December 2020

El Santuario arqueológico de Pachacamac tuvo una ocupación de alrededor de mil años, desde los primeros siglos de la era cristiana hasta la llegada de los conquistadores españoles al sitio. Durante el Horizonte Tardío (1470- 1533 d.C.), bajo el dominio Inca fue el más importante conjunto ceremonial de la costa central peruana, al cual acudían peregrinos de diversos y lejanos lugares. Recientemente, en el acceso a la Pirámide con Rampa N°7 (PCR 07), conectado a la principal vía de ingreso al santuario conocida como Calle Norte-Sur, se realizó el hallazgo de seis cánidos en muy buen estado de conservación que fueron identificados como Canis familiaris. El estudio de este contexto nos permite proponer una reconstrucción fenotípica de un perro prehispánico tardío; asimismo, nos permite evaluar el papel que jugaron estos animales en la época Inca, y relacionarlo al carácter sagrado del santuario.
Tafonomía de restos óseos provenientes de egagrópilas de Coragyps atratus (jote de cabeza negra) en el Noroeste de la Patagonia argentina
Authors: Ballejo Fernando , Fernández Fernando , De Santis Luciano J. M.
Published: December 2020

Existen diversos estudios actualísticos en tafonomía sobre restos de presas de diferentes especies de aves raptoras. Sin embargo, este tipo de trabajos en aves carroñeras ha sido escasamente considerado hasta el momento en Argentina, a pesar que ellas cumplen un papel fundamental en la alteración y transporte de cadáveres. Coragyps atratus (jote de cabeza negra) tiene la particularidad de formar posaderos comunales cercanos a áreas de actividades humanas y de alimentarse de animales de todos los tamaños, por lo que pueden interferir en la formación de sitios arqueológicos. El objetivo de este trabajo es realizar un análisis tafonómico sobre los restos óseos recuperados de egagrópilas de C. atratus en el Noroeste patagónico, con el fin de generar herramientas que permitan identificar a estas aves como posibles agentes acumuladores. Se recolectaron 469 egagrópilas distribuidas en tres posaderos del Noroeste patagónico. Se identificaron los elementos recuperados y se evaluaron los grados de alteraciones por ácidos gástricos. Lepus europaeus y Ovis aries dominaron las muestras. Los elementos más representativos pertenecen al autopodio, principalmente falanges. Todos ellos muestran signos de digestión, que van desde porosidades superficiales, perforaciones y fracturas, con la desaparición de la médula en el caso de varias falanges; denotando diferencias en relación al tamaño de la presa consumida.

El Sitio Loma Ruiz 1: Estrategias tecnológicas líticas durante el Holoceno Tardío Inicial en la transición Pampeano-Patagónica oriental
Authors: Armentano Gabriela , Martinez Gustavo , Landini Cecilia
Published: December 2020

El sitio Loma Ruiz 1 se encuentra emplazado en el curso inferior del río Colorado, en el área de transición PampeanoPatagónica oriental. El conjunto arqueológico datado en ca. 1900-1600 años C14 AP se compone de materiales líticos, faunísticos y cerámicos recuperados tanto en posición superficial como estratigráfica. Los objetivos de este trabajo son discutir las características tecno-tipológicas del conjunto lítico, las estrategias de adquisición y gestión de materias primas líticas, las intenciones y técnicas de talla, los métodos de débitage1 y façonnage1 , las chaînes opératoires2 y la diversidad artefactual registrada. Asimismo, se discute cómo se ajustan los resultados obtenidos al modelo tecnológico areal existente. Estos indican estrategias diferenciales en la explotación de rocas según su origen (local, areal o extra-areal). Las técnicas de talla, los métodos de débitage, las características de los artefactos, sumados a la fragmentación en el espacio y tiempo de las chaînes opératoires reflejan distintos grados de planificación y estrategias de producción artefactual acordes con la procedencia de las rocas empleadas. La presencia de artefactos confeccionados sobre materias primas de la subregión Pampa Húmeda y, posiblemente, de Norpatagonia, indica la circulación de instrumentos en estado avanzado de confección durante el Holoceno tardío inicial.

En el marco del proyecto Ubacyt F 095 que tiene como parte de sus objetivos estudiar y comprender el poblamiento del norte de la provincia de La Pampa posterior a las campañas militares de fines del siglo XIX, se presenta el análisis de los precintos de plomo y fragmentos vítreos provenientes del sitio Posta el Caldén (sección I, fracción A, lote 24). Dicho sitio se trata de una posta de caminos y casa de negocios ocupada hacia fines del siglo XIX. La misma pertenecía a una línea de postas entre las ciudades de Victorica (Provincia de La Pampa) y General Villegas (Provincia de Buenos Aires). Se realizarán análisis morfológico – funcional, metalográfico mediante microscopia óptica (LM) y electrónica de barrido (SEM) y químico utilizando espectroscopia de rayos X dispersiva en energía (EDS) de las piezas bajo estudio. El objetivo fue determinar tipos de bebidas alcohólicas consumidas y procedencia de las mismas. Se identificaron diversos tipos y marcas de bebidas de tenor etílico, se determinó que el material de confección de los precintos era de plomo recubierto con estaño típico de la técnica de confección denominada roll bonding. Esta información será de utilidad a la hora de estudiar las prácticas sociales de estos nuevos grupos de inmigrantes en combinación con las fuentes escritas y la historia oral.
Un análisis de las relaciones entre ‘moral’ y ‘política’ en un movimiento de demanda de justicia
Authors: Zenobi Diego
Published: December 2020

En el presente trabajo sugiero que, a diferencia de cómo han abordado la cuestión algunas investigaciones sobre movimientos de familiares de víctimas, ‘moral’ y ‘política’ no deben ser tratados como universos autónomos y en conflicto. En cambio, sostengo que las actividades que los propios actores definen como políticas están moralmente informadas, esto es, están atravesadas por juicios morales y son productos de ese tipo de evaluaciones. Para ello me baso en el material producido a lo largo de un trabajo de campo extendido realizado en el denominado ‘movimiento Cromañón’. Así, me propongo analizar el proceso de creación y disolución de las ‘asambleas de familiares de Cromañón’, enmarcado en el contexto de las tensiones entre familiares politizados y no politizados. Sugiero aquí que las evaluaciones morales realizadas por los protagonistas del movimiento son un factor central para comprender el modo en que ellos orientan aquellas prácticas y situaciones a las que definen como políticas. A través de esos juicios ellos ponen en juego lo que consideran como correcto, deseable y, en virtud de ello, conveniente para su lucha.
From a “Yugoslav Siberia”. The Difficulties of the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć 1919–1929
Authors: MIKETIĆ Uroš
Published: December 2020

The author has tried to outline the problems that the Patriarchal Monastery of Peć faced in the period 1919–1929. The heuristic background of the paper is primarily based on the documents stored in the Yugoslav Archives. It is mainly about the correspondence between the church and the relevant state authorities, which testifies to the fact that the central authorities had little understanding about the importance of this monastery for the survival of the Serbian people in Southern Serbia. That is why, the results of its policy toward the monastery were only partially achieved, similarly to other cases of this insufficiently integrated Yugoslav (Serbian) territory.

Enlightenment of Street Stall Economy on Improving Hands-On Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training for Chinese College Students against the Background of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Authors: Miyane Sunmi
Published: December 2020

China’s modern education system urgently requires entrepreneurship and innovation education. By reading literature, launching questionnaire, and giving interviews, we found that most colleges and universities in China neglect developing students’ practical ability in entrepreneurship and innovation education, and that the proposal made in existing research to add practical training just focuses on macro-guidance, with no specific solutions given. Therefore, we innovatively propose to introduce street stall economy into the curriculum based on the features and feasibility of China’s street stall economy, and offer recommendations for management and assessment by drawing on the experience of other places in administering street stall economy.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a bone disorder characterized by a reduction in bone density accompanied by increasing porosity and brittleness. It is one of the major public health problem globally and its prevalence is rapidly increasing particularly in women. Osteoporosis causes more than 8.9 million fractures annually, resulting in an osteoporotic fracture every 3 seconds. Therefore the objectives of the study was to assess the existing awareness and health belief of osteoporosis among middle aged women.

Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research design was used on a sample of 328 middle aged women residing in Nagarjun Municipality, Kathmandu. Non probability purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data. Data was collected after informed consent through face to face interview schedule using Osteoporosis Knowledge Assessment Tool (OKAT) and Osteoporosis Health Beliefs Scale (OHBS). Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Chi-Square test) were used for data analysis at 5% level of significance.

Results: The overall osteoporosis awareness and health beliefs mean scores were9.39 ± 2.93 and 146.18 ±11.58 respectively. Majority(60.0%) of the respondents were unaware of osteoporosis. Existing awareness of respondents was significantly associated with age (p<0.001and level of education (p<0.038). Based on the OHBS subscale score, the highest perception was on health motivation (22.73±2.81) and the lowest perception was on barriers to calcium intake (mean score 17.71±4.32).

Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that the majority of middle aged women were unaware about osteoporosis. Education and age of women was significantly associated with level of awareness.

Published: December 2020

Background: Extended spectrum β-lactamases have addressed the serious challenges worldwide due to the emergence of ESBL producing genes which possess a serious threat for the treatment of infections both in community and hospitals since it is found to be increasing trends of multidrug resistance. This study was focused to find out the antibiotic profile of multidrug resistant Escherichia .coli and status of ESBLs producing E.coli.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of 2 years (September 2017 to April 2019) at microbiology laboratory of Nepal Mediciti Hospital. A total of 16542 samples were processed. Various clinical samples were collected from both inpatients and outpatients aseptically and without contaminating skin commensals. Standard microbiological techniques were used for isolation and identification of pathogens. Extended spectrum beta-lactamases were phenotypically confirmed by combined disc method.

Results: Out of 1449 E.coli isolates, 323(22.29%) were found to be MDR E.coli. Isolation rate of ESBL producing E.coli (66.56%) were found to be high among MDR E.coli isolates.

Conclusion: There was increasing prevalence of ESBL producing E.coli and was essential to monitor antibiotic susceptibility pattern and formulate antibiotic policy to prevent the spread of MDR and ESBL producers.

Authors: Masocha Pascal
Published: December 2020

Background: As fears of the corona virus pandemic (also known as the COVID-19 Pandemic) continue to spread around the world, Boma’s global network hosted an unprecedented online summit on the 23rd and 24th of March 2020, to discuss the early lessons learnt about this pandemic with regards to education and explore specific plans of action to address it. The summit inspired this study  and its major findings show that COVID-19 has necessitated drastic changes in the education system.

Objective: To explore new ways in which teachers can continue teaching  the children using non-traditional means during the COVID-19 lockdown period and after; to assess the attitude of parents/guardians to the re-opening of schools after COVID-19 in terms of children’s safety; and examine the challenges posed by COVID-19 to children’s education during the lockdown period.

Methods: This research is based on an exploratory design given the immediacy, novelty and emergency associated with COVID-19. This study seeks to have a better understanding of the existing problems relating to children in their education during the lock down period. The design utilizes both primary and secondary data collection methods.

Results: The data of this study indicate that it is feasible to offer distance education to children in Zimbabwe despite the existence of COVID-19. Thestudy also indicates that changes to the education system are inevitable and the education system will never be the same after COVID-19.

Conclusion: The study concludes that COVID-19 has had a telling effect on education in Zimbabwe and the lasting changes will remain with the system even after the lockdown period.
Binary Logistic Model to Identify the Factors Associated with Households with Bank Accounts in Nepal
Authors: Shah Santosh Kumar
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Banks play an important role in ensuringthe economicand social stability, and the sustainablegrowth of the economy. The savings and other accounts in financial institutions, including banks, finances, microfinances and cooperatives, enable people to execute important financial functions. Thus, households that have accounts in any of financial institutions can have access to various banking services.

Objective: The objective of the study is to identify the factors associated with households having bank accounts in Nepal.

Methods: The analysis is based on household data extracted from the dataset of Nepal Demographic and Health Survey, 2016. The dependent variable is dichotomous, as the households with bank accounts and without bank accounts in any formal financial channels. In order to identify the factors associated with households receiving financial services in Nepal, multiple logistic regression models were developed by examining the model adequacy test.

Results: The study finds that a total of 66.9% of the households had bank accounts. Several variables were found to be 1% of significance level. The predictive power of the model is found to be 31.2% and multicollinearity among the independent variables was absent. The Hosmer-Lemoshow goodness of fit test revealed that the data were poorly (p-value=0.056) fitted by the model. However, Osius-Rojek goodness of fit test (z=0.11; p-value=0.911), Stukel test (Z=0.683, p-value=0.494), likelihood ratio test (χ2=2770; p-value<0.0001) and area under receiver operating curve (79.8%) revealed that fitted model was good.

Conclusion: Multiple logistic regression model revealed that in mountainous and hilly regions, women-headed households have less chances of not having bank accounts compared to the Terai region and men-headed households. The chances of having a bank account in province-2 is even worse than in Karnali and other provinces. The odds of not having bank accounts gradually decreased with the increase in size of agricultural land, wealth index, increase in family size and the number of family members who have completed secondary education.
The Influence of Living and Working Abroad on the Identities of Researchers and Native Speaker Teachers
Authors: Włosowicz Teresa Maria
Published: December 2020

The study investigates the influence of living and working abroad on the identities of researchers and native speaker teachers. Following Block (2009), Hall (2012), and Pavlenko and Blackledge (2004), identity is assumed here to be dynamic and multiple, where the different identities of a person can be more or less relevant in a given context (Hall, 2012, p. 33). Moreover, identities at the time of globalization tend to be hybrid (Marotta, 2011) and, in the case of migration, they can be bicultural (Comănaru, Noels, & Dewaele, 2017), but as Comănaru et al. (2017, p. 539) observe, each bicultural person’s identity is different, depending on his or her life history, language proficiency, psychological traits, etc. Simultaneously, there is evidence that multilingualism increases cognitive empathy (Dewaele & Li, 2012) and makes people more open-minded (Włosowicz, 2019), so it could be assumed that the participants would recognize their hybrid identities as an enrichment rather than a threat to their native identities, even though identification with their native languages and cultures, with their families, etc. would remain an important part of their identity. The research tool used in the present study was a questionnaire completed by forty native speaker teachers and researchers living abroad. As the results show, the participants’ identities are indeed highly complex, hybrid, and influenced by different factors, however, the native language and the family remain very important components of identity, unlike, for example, one’s profession. Still, they also admitted that foreign language knowledge enriched them culturally, intellectually, and emotionally.
The Dynamics of Needs in a Course in English Phonetics for In-Service Primary School Teachers of English
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr
Published: December 2020

This article presents a study that seeks to explore the dynamics of needs experienced by a group of in-service primary school teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) who are enrolled in a course in English phonetics at a regional university in Norway. The course in English phonetics is designed for the group of EFL teachers (further – participants) who combine working full-time with taking in-service EFL courses. The aim of the study is to explore how the dynamics of the participants’ needs change within the time frame of two semesters. The study is based upon theoretical premises of needs analysis (further – NA) formulated by Hyland (2006), who regards EFL learners’ needs as a continuous process that changes over time. The results of NA indicate that whereas initially the participants explicitly express the need for obtaining tertiary-level education in English to be able to teach English at primary school, their needs change towards the end of the course to involve the focus on becoming role models in an EFL classroom, paying attention to speech fluency, intonation, and conducting English-only EFL classes. These findings will be further discussed inthe article.
Assessing Teachers’ Perceptions of Alignment of Human Capital Management of Teacher Leadership Initiatives
Authors: Finster Matthew , Milanowski Anthony
Published: December 2020

Aligning human capital management system (HCMS) practices may strengthen the educator workforce by recruiting, selecting, placing, inducting, developing, compensating, and retaining educators with the desired competencies to advance an organization’s instructional goals. Given the surge in teacher leadership (TL) programs across the United States, this study assesses teachers’ perceptions of HCMS alignment of TL initiatives using data from a statewide teacher survey and structural equation modeling techniques. The findings suggest that the teachers perceived the design of the TL roles as aligning with the goals of the TL initiative, as well as aligning the two HCMS practices—selection and professional development—to the leadership functions the teachers performed. In addition, teachers who perceived selection based on more competencies and receiving professional development on more topics perceived more positive effects of their TL roles, suggesting positive effects of HCMS alignment. This study extends the HCMS literature in education by demonstrating a new approach to assessing HCMS alignment, applying it to a differentiated TL role, and testing whether it is associated with desired effects.
Remdesivir for the Treatment of Severe SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Yan Zhipeng , Yan Zhipeng , Cheung Ka Shing , Ho-Yin Lau Eric , Lai Ching-Lung
Published: December 2020

Background: Coronavirus Disease in 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Over 53 million people have been infected with over 1.3 million deaths. However, there is no standard
treatment or vaccines to date. Recently, several randomized controlled trials and cohort studies have
demonstrated the efficacy of remdesivir for the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients. This is a systematic
review and meta-analysis to define its efficacy.
Methods: A systematic review was done on databases (PubMed, Embase, Medline, Cochrane) on 9 Nov
2020. Search keywords were remdesivir, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, randomized controlled trials and cohort
studies. Studies with high-evidence values were selected to evaluate its clinical efficacy in terms of risk
ratio, time to clinical improvement, and mortality risk. Subgroup analysis was performed based on baseline
hospitalization status, age and ethnicity.
Results: Of the 1328 studies, 6 studies were selected and pooled for meta-analysis. Remdesivir was
associated with clinical improvement (risk ratio 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.28, p=0.02). It shortened the mean
time of clinical improvement by 3.32 days (95% CI -4.37 to -2.28, p<0.001). However, its use was not
associated with reduced mortality risk (risk ratio 0.75, 95% CI 0.40–1.40). In subgroup analysis, remdesivir
was associated with clinical improvement in patients without the need of invasive ventilation (risk ratio
1.90, 95% CI 1.58-2.29, p<0.001; hazard ratio 2.22, 95% CI, 1.64-3.02), and age less than 70 years (risk
ratio 2.14, 95% CI 1.39-3.28, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Remdesivir is effective in the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients, in particular those
without invasive ventilation
THE DESIGN IS OPTIMIZED BY WEIGHT OF THE NODE SAMPLE OF UNITS WITH COMPENSATION OF HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENTS OF THE ATTACHMENT POINTS TO HANG THE UNIT

During the machining of workpieces of parts, two negative factors act: firstly, under the action of cutting forces, elements of the technological system are deformed (machine - tooling - tool - workpiece), which leads to distortion of the geometric parameters of the finished part; secondly, under the influence of heat generated during machining, the technological system, in particular the workpiece and cutting tool, are heated, changing the shape and dimensions of the part and the physicomechanical properties of the materials of their surface layers. Analytical methods allow calculating elastic deformations and stresses in products (blanks) having a simple geometric shape, for example, cylindrical. The analytical solution is difficult if the product has a complex shape, for example, the shape of a stepped shaft having conical and radius surfaces and holes. The impossibility of a priori determination of the distribution densities of heat flows between contacting objects, the need to take into account the temperature dependence of the thermal properties of the contacting objects and the mechanical properties of the workpiece material, creates serious difficulties for the analytical determination of the temperatures of these objects. However, these problems can be solved numerically, in particular, by the finite element method (FEM). One of the most powerful software products designed for this purpose is the Advanced Simulation module of the NX software package. The aim of the article is to instill in students the skills to solve practical problems that arise during the design and study of technological operations and the processes of machining workpieces of machine parts using the NX software package.

The article reflects the results of changes in the biochemical and morphological parameters of blood, as well as the content of total protein and its fractions under the influence of immunostimulators in black-and-white cows and calves obtained from them. The aim of the study was to study the effect of the immunostimulators “Recombinant Bovine Interferon” and “Immunate” on the morphological and immunobiochemical blood parameters of pregnant cows and newborn calves. Studies were conducted on 45 pregnant cows divided into three groups based on the principle of analogues, and, subsequently, on 45 calves obtained from mother cows and divided into nine groups. Maternal cows during pregnancy and newborn calves were given immunostimulators in various combinations. In the blood of cows of the experimental groups, five days before calving, higher indicators of red blood cells and hemoglobin were registered in comparison with the control indicators. Also, in experimental cows, the content of total protein and globulins exceeded the indicators of the control group. Calves received from cows immunostimulated with “Recombinant Bovine Interferon” and who were given “Immunate” after birth had the smallest decrease in the number of red blood cells and white blood cells on the tenth day. After drinking colostrum in calves of experimental groups, the total amount of protein increased, especially there was an increase in the gamma-globulin fraction. For all periods of the study, the content of immunoglobulins A, M, G in the blood serum of calves of the control group was lower than that of calves of the experimental groups. The maximum difference between these indicators and the control was found in animals of the sixth and ninth groups.

This paper provides detailed information about one of the areas of manual therapy - osteopathy, namely its use in veterinary medicine. The purpose of the study was to describe the features of this group of methods in modern veterinary medicine. The differences between manual therapy and osteopathy, current indications and contraindications were considered. The experience center "Osteovit" in relation to dogs, cats and rodents etc. Osteopathic recovery of young animals is the most important of all other areas of osteopathic recovery, since veterinary osteopaths can correct and correct pathologies during the growth of the animal, which take no more than 1.5 years. The effectiveness of osteopathic correction in veterinary medicine is successfully studied in such ways as: thermography, dopplerography, stabilometry.
IMPROVING THE DESIGN OF THE CHAMBER SEED MORDANT

The article presents the modernization of the design of the universal seed mordant PSS-20 by installing an axial fan and air ducts for closed air circulation in the processing chamber, which will ensure the full use of the mordant, work safety and increase the productivity of cultivated crops. The main advantage of this design is that the seeds in the same plane as the suspension flow is affected by the air flow, which improves the penetration into the layer. Air ducts make it possible to reuse the suspension that has not settled on the seeds. This is achieved due to the closed lid design. During operation, the fan creates excessive pressure inside the seed stream and rarefaction outside, and so small drops of solution that have penetrated the seed stream are sucked in by the fan and re-fed into the stream.

Chains used in mechanical engineering by the nature of their work are divided into three main groups: drive, traction and cargo. Drive chains are the most common. They transmit movement from the energy source to the receiving organ of the machine. The object of the invention is to ensure the transmission of motion in three-row chain gears when transmitting high power and to ensure the uniformity of movement of the driven sprockets. This task is solved by improving the design of the chain transmission by installing sprockets with a phase shift and performing the chains of all three rows separately. The essence of the design is that the chain transmission is made in three rows, including three parallel mutually paired (connected rigidly) with a phase shift of the angle t / 3 (where t is the step between the teeth of the sprockets or the chain step), three leading and three driven sprockets, and all three chains are separated from each other and independently engage with the corresponding sprockets.

Health care is an industry in which the stakes are not raised — it is human life itself. The effectiveness of the healthcare system depends largely on the use of the most advanced solutions. Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) offer real-world solutions to many health system problems and offer a variety of implementation options in various fields, such as medical education and training, surgical modeling, neurological rehabilitation, psychotherapy, and telemedicine. It is well known that health systems in every country face many challenges. These problems arise in several directions, and they are particularly noticeable on the ground, since the situation seems to be in a state of constant demand, far exceeding supply, and the lack of qualified staff in many local institutions. The reality of the situation is that many local hospitals often struggle to cope with an intensive work process, not to mention emergencies. All these problems can be alleviated by implementing VR / AR / MR technologies. The results of relevant studies have shown that VR, AR and MR reduce the inconvenience of traditional medical care, reduce medical malpractice caused by unskilled labor, and reduce the cost of medical education and training.
