Pterocarpus mildbreadii leaves and stem bark have been exploited in Nigeria, in the area of alternative medicine, due to their numerous biological properties. The upsurge in the search for new chemical agents to replace conventional drugs, prompted this study. The study was carried out for the first time, in the area of isolation and structural elucidation of bioactive compounds, from the ethanolic extracts of the stem bark of Pterocarpus mildbreadii. The ethanol extract of the stem bark was separated using column chromatographic technique. The fractions obtained were screened for antioxidant activity in a DPPH assay. The active fraction was further purified and the structure elucidated by subjecting it to a number of identification instruments, such as FTIR, MS and 1D &2D NMR spectroscopy. The FTIR analysis of isolated bioactive compound gave the following λ max: 3400-2500 cm-1 a broad band characteristic of a carboxylic acid functional group and 1740 cm-1 carbonyl stretch. The mass spectrum game a molecular ion peak at m/z 282 consistent with the molecular formula C18H34O2. The proton NMR showed a doublet of doublet of doublet at 4.9, 5.3 and 5.8 ppm attributed to vinyl protons, two proton multiplets at 1.6,1.3, and 1.2 ppm; and a three proton triplet at 0.9 ppm. The HMBC and 13C NMR showed the presence of a carboxylic carbon at 176 ppm and vinylic carbons at 135 and 143 ppm respectively; the methyl carbon was observed at 14.12 ppm. On the basis of spectral analysis, results obtained suggested compound was cis-vaccenic acid and was confirmed by comparison with literature data. Isolated compound has antioxidant activity, with a maximum percentage scavenging activity of 89.66. The present study lends credence to the use of the plant in traditional medicine and posits pterocarpus mildbreadii as a rich source of secondary metabolites which can find application in the pharmaceutical industries.

Published: July 2022

The surface morphology on green adhesives prepared using agricultural and plastic waste materials as composite for domestic and industrial utilizations was carried out. Preparation of adhesive filler (Rice Husk Ash) and formulation of adhesive binders (Polystyrene waste and Arabic gum) were conducted. A synthetic adhesive (Sample A) served as a control. Standard Adhesive and samples formulated were labeled A (Top Bond), B (Arabic gum and rice husk ash), C (Expanded polystyrene waste and rice husk ash), D (Expanded polystyrene waste and rice husk ash/CaCO3), E (Expanded polystyrene waste/Arabic gum and rice husk ash), F (Polyvinyl acetate/ Arabic gum and rice husk ash) and G (Expanded polystyrene waste/ Arabic gum and Calcium carbonate as a filler) respectively based on varied quantities of fillers and binders. The samples were subjected to scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis of different magnifications and their responses observed. The sample magnification was taken from x350, x500, x1000, x1500 and x2000 for all the samples investigated. The SEM images confirmed the dispersion of the fillers in the polymer matrix. It is evident that the formaldehyde emission of sample A, B, C, D, E, F and G are 0.05, 0.04, 0.04, 0.04, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.03 respectively. Sample A has the highest emission (0.05) followed by sample B, C and D. Samples E and G had the lowest emission followed by sample F. All the samples were below the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended limit (0.08 ppm). Samples E, G gives better products with formaldehyde emission test. It is evident that most of the adhesives formulated can compete favourably with the standard in terms of morphological structure, formaldehyde emission and bond strength.

In order to reduce the use of industrial trans fat in food processing for human consumption, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), and to dramatically reduce cardiovascular disease as a result of its effects. The fatty acid profile of Ficus sur oil seeds was examined in order to consider an alternative to trans fat in meals. The composition of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of Ficus Sur, a member of the Moraceae family, was determined using GC-MS. The results showed the percentage composition of the various constituents of the seed oils as follows: carbonic acid (4.594%), octadecanoic acid (1.341%), olean-12-en-3-ol, acetate (3β) (40.780%), 1-hexadecanol, 2-methyl-(3.342%), lupeol (15.904%), 1-eicosanol or arachidic alcohol (2.39%), eicosyl octyl ether (1.328%), octadecane, 1-chloro-(7.368%) and nonacos-1-ene (1.378%). Stearic acid was observed to be the only fatty acid present in the oil seeds. The presence of stearic acid in the seed oil is promising and inductive of being an alternative replacement in the gradual phasing out of trans fat in human diet.

Published: July 2022

Rapid industrialization has generated large quantities of liquid effluents from heavy metals such as cadmium, cobalt, lead, chromium, nickel, mercury, uranium, selenium, zinc, arsenic, gold, silver, copper and Manganese, etc. The presence of heavy metals such as chromium and cadmium with high level of toxicity detected in surface water has attracted much attention. In this research work, low-cost adsorbent prepared from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) was physicochemically characterized and evaluated for the effective removal of chromium and cadmium from an aqueous phase solution. The Camellia sinensis adsorbent precursor was characterized in terms of adsorbent dosage, initial concentration and contact time. Aqueous phase adsorption studies were carried out under kinetic studies of pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetics. At optimal conditions, chromium and cadmium uptake increases with increase in biosorbent dosage, in this study the optimum dosage was 2 g. The removal of chromium and cadmium was more than 90% in 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes of contact time. It is obvious that Camellia sinensis is a suitable adsorbent that can be used for the effective removal of high chromium and cadmium concentration in waste water or industrial effluents as shown by the adsorption kinetic studies.

Published: August 2022

This paper proposes an analysis of the principle of the evidentiary community included in the General Organic Code of Proceedings of Ecuador, which governs non-criminal actions. According to the principles that govern the administration of justice, judges must resolve conflicts according to competence, complying with the dispositive principle that is included in the constitutional norm and that is also extended by the Organic Code of the Judicial Function, which consists in that the jurisdictional organ must resolve based on the pretensions made by the parties and, evaluating the evidentiary means that they have managed to introduce. By virtue of this principle, the evidentiary means introduced by one of the parties in the judicial process are not only for its exclusive benefit but, on the contrary, become part of the body of evidence that may favor its opponent.
Language Policy as a Focal Point in English-Medium International Schools
Authors: Lehman Clayton , Welch Brett
Published: July 2022

A language policy in an international school is a document that should state how language will be taught, learned, and used. In essence, a language policy can provide organization and cohesion for an international school as it works to deliver a curriculum to the students, and many students enrolled in international schools are English language learners (ELLs). This quantitative survey-based study aimed to investigate teacher adherence and knowledge of language policy in English-medium international schools. Also explored was the provision of professional development for working with ELLs and teacher self-efficacy when teaching ELLs in relation to language policy knowledge. Compared to previously reported data, key findings showed a rise in the percentage of teachers reporting their school had a language policy and a lower percentage of teachers reporting they were consistently following the policy. Additional findings were that less than half of the participants reported their school provided a medium or higher frequency of professional development for working with ELLs, and teachers who had knowledge of the language policy had higher self-efficacy levels when teaching ELLs than teachers who had no knowledge of a language policy.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM ORIGIN, SYMBOLISM, AND FUNCTION “MODELS OF ARAB NATIONAL ANTHEMS”‎
Authors: TAAN‎ Sulaiman
Published: August 2022

This research aims to shed light on the beginnings of the formation of the national anthem in the Arab countries, and the function performed by the national anthem. After the emergence of Arab political entities in the last century, the nascent countries were inspired by the Western tradition of having a national anthem for each country. The national anthem has been one of the symbols that the nascent Arab states tried to exploit to enhance the association between the citizens and to create a single identity among the members of the state. It is usually played in official ceremonies and is a sign of state sovereignty. National anthems are classified into three main categories: the first calling for the ruler’s safety, the second referring to the battles fought by the nation, and the third expressing patriotic sentiments. Key words: National Anthem, Identity, Imagined communities, Pan-Arabism.
Effects on Maples of Prolonged Exposure by Artificial Girdling Roots
Authors: Holmes Francis W.
Published: July 2022

Artificial girdling of silver, sugar, Norway, Schwedler Norway, Crimson King Norway, and red maples was achieved by applying pressure of the trees’ own growth against trunk expansion at ground level. Single angle irons plus a cable (Type I) were applied in 1966, and two parallel angle irons, bolted at their ends (Type II) were applied in 1967. Where girdles were applied, trunks were 6 to 8 cm (2.5 to 3 in.) in diameter. Next to each treated tree was an untreated one. Type I was associated with early fall color on all silver maples the first summer. The next year those trees died, completely girdled. Red and sugar maples slowly filled the entire Type I girdle, and all died after 7-8 years, but Norway maples engulfed the Type I devices and are alive as of 1983. In Type II, bolts were 30 cm apart; silver and Norway maple trunks filled these gaps after 16 years. The angle irons remained straight or bent only slightly. Tree bases with Type II treatment were greatly distorted but no foliar symptoms appeared. Trunk diameters and heights were equivalent to those of check trees. Tree vigor and growth were not affected until all or nearly all the circumference was girdled.

Pesticide Application Techniques for Optimizing Efficiency
Authors: Hall Franklin
Published: July 2022

Optimization of pesticide usage requires proper attention to 4 basic principles: 1) correct identification of the problem, 2) selection of proper material, 3) optimum use of application equipment, and 4) proper timing of the control method. Present data indicate that there is much inefficiency in the application technique. The targeting dose technique, which requires the correct alignment or sprayer capacity and utilization to tree size, is presented and discussed. Inadequate concern for proper sprayer calibration can result in a waste of dollars, inadequate pest control and an excess of material placed on non-target areas. Greater attention to the basic principles of spray application technology can maximize spray delivery efficiency and, hence, your profit margin.

Published: July 2022

Extension specialists at the University of Maryland cooperated with county agents, suburban homeowners and institutional groundskeepers to develop, implement, and evaluate integrated pest management (IPM) programs for landscape plants at homesites and a university campus. The programs enabled participants to deal with plant problems in economically and environmentally sound ways while maintaining or improving the aesthetic quality of their plants. Each program generated valuable regional information on the types of plant materials used, their susceptibility to insect, disease and cultural problems, and the relative importance of various pests encountered. An additional benefit included extensive on-the-job training for the students who conducted the programs. Both programs provide a dynamic method for managing landscape plants and their problems now and in the future.

Published: July 2022

Çevresel açıdan sürdürülebilirliğin önemi konusunda toplumun yüksek düzeydeki farkındalığından dolayı, günümüzde işletmelerin geçmişe oranla daha fazla ilgili olması beklenmektedir. Çevresel korumayla ilgili artan ilgi nedeniyle işletmelerin uygulamalarında çevresel verilere olan ihtiyaç artmaktadır. Bu durum da muhasebenin bir yandan işletmenin çevresel etkilerini ve performanslarını değerlendirmesine, diğer yandan da gerekli çevre ile ilgili verileri açıklamalarına olanak sağlayan bir rol oynamasına neden olmaktadır. Bu ihtiyaçlar sonucunda çevre yönetim muhasebesi (ÇYM) ortaya çıkmış olup, literatürde ve uygulamada gelişimini sürdürmektedir. Çalışmada İstanbul Sanayi Odası tarafından açıklanan 2020 yılı Türkiye’nin büyük sanayi kuruluşları listesinde yer alan imalat sanayi işletmeleri örnek olarak alınmıştır. Çevrimiçi olarak gerçekleştirilen anket çalışması ile işletmelerin ÇYM uygulamalarını gerçekleştirme durumları ve ÇYM’yi benimsemeleri üzerindeki motivasyon kaynakları belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, frekans dağılımı, ortalama ve standart sapma ve Bağımsız Örneklemler T-Testi ve ANOVA yöntemleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların çevre muhasebesi eğitimi almış olmaları ile ÇYM’nin benimsenmesi arasında anlamlı farklılık olmadığı Bağımsız örneklem T-Testi ile tespit edilmiştir. ANOVA Analizi ile katılımcıların pozisyonları, tecrübeleri, işletmenin faaliyet gösterdiği pazar ve faaliyet konusu ile ÇYM’nin benimsenmesi arasında anlamlı farklılık olup olmadığı test edilmiş ve anlamlı farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada sağlanan verilerin analizinde, işletmeler ÇYM uygulamaları konusunda verilen ifadelerden yalnızca yatırım kararlarında potansiyel çevresel etkilerin dikkate alınmakta olduğu ifadesine katılmışlar, diğer ifadeler konusunda ise kararsız kalmışlarıdır. Dolayısıyla katılımcı işletmeler bu uygulamaları düşük bir seviyede benimsemektedirler. ÇYM’nin benimsenmesi üzerinde etkili olan faktörler açısından bakıldığında; kamuoyu üzerinde olumlu bir imaj bırakılması, toplumun artan çevre bilinci ve finansal kurumlardan uygun finansman sağlanması ifadeleri öne çıkan ifadeler olmuştur.

Authors: Sargin Fatih
Published: August 2022

Giriş: Kanser, dünyada en önde gelen ölüm nedenleri arasındadır. Kanser tedavisinde kemoterapi hala önemli bir yer tutmaktadır ve en sık akut yan etkileri bulantı ve kusmadır. Antineoplastik ilaç dozları boy ve kiloya göre hesaplanan vücut yüzey alanına göre ayarlanmaktadır. Vucut yüzey alanı boy ve kilo ile ilişkili olmakla beraber vücut yağ-kas kompozisyonu farklılıklar göstermektedir. Çalışmada vücut yağ oranının kemoterapiye bağlı bulantı-kusma üzerine etkisi araştırıldı.
Yöntemler: Daha önce herhangi bir tedavi almamış ve yüksek emetojenik kemoterapi alan 52 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların tedavi öncesi deri altı yağ kalınlıklarına göre SIRI metodu ile yaklaşık vücut yağ oranları hesaplandı, Elektriksel empedans yöntemi kullanılarak sıvı kompartmanları ve yağ oranları belirlendi. Kemoterapi öncesinde standart anti-emetik tedaviler uygulanarak ilk kemoterapileri sonrasındaki 3 haftalık dönem boyunca bulantı kusma yan etkisi değerlendirildi.
Bulgular: Hastaların %75’i kadın ve en sık tanı meme kanseriydi. En sık kullanılan kemoterapi rejimi ise siklofosfamid-doksorubisin-5-FU kombinasyonuydu. SIRI ve BCM metodları arasında yağ, sıvı ve kas dokusu dağılımları ilişkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olarak korele bulundu. 52 hastanın 17'sinde kemoterapiye bağlı bulantı ve kusma gelişti. Vücut yağ oranı (Siri metod, p = 0.921), (BCM metod, p = 0.783), vücut kitle indeksi (p=0.858), vücut yüzey alanı (p = 0.705) ve vücut sıvı kompartmanı değişimlerinin kemoterapi sonrasında oluşan bulantı-kusma üzerine anlamlı bir etkisi saptanmadı.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda vücut kompozisyonunun kemoterapi sonrası bulantı kusma ile ilişkisi saptanmadı. BU nedenle özellikle obez hastalarda yan etkilerden endişe edilerek doz sınırlamasına gidilmemesi gerektiği ve hesaplanan aktüel sonuçlara göre kemoterapi verilmesi önerilir. Çalışmanın diğer akut ve kronik toksisiteleri de değerlendirecek şekilde genişletilmeye ihtiyacı vardır.

Authors: Cakmak Hatice Mine , Bildirici Yasar
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Vitamin B12 deficiency is essential to treat because of hematologic and neurologic results. Sublingual methylcobalamin spray leads to easy, safe, and cost-effective treatment. However, studies reveal the different duration of treatment; age-specific dose is not precise. Here, we aimed to investigate the efficacy, dose adjustment, and durability of vitamin-B12 spray.
Methods: This retrospective study includes seventeen children (3 months-17 years) diagnosed with nutritional Vitamin-B12 deficiency between January 2020- January 2021. The methylcobalamin doses were 500 mcg (<1 year of age) and 1000 mcg (≥1 year of age) every day for the first week and every other day for seven weeks. In addition, serum Vitamin B12 and hemoglobin levels were studied at diagnosis and second, sixth, and twelfth months of treatment. Finally, we compared the beginning hemoglobin and Vitamin-B12 levels with the second month's values.
Results: After two months of sublingual methylcobalamin treatment, the Vitamin B12 significantly increased (p=0.008) and kept normal ranges for twelve months. Hemoglobin levels tended to rise in two months, but the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.22).
Conclusion: There is no consensus on the sublingual methylcobalamin dose and treatment schedule. However, we suggest that a 500 mcg dose of methylcobalamin for <1 year of age and a 1000 mcg dose for ≥ 1 year with two months treatment period is appropriate and safe for nutritional Vitamin B12 deficiency.

The main optical structure of the eyes is the lens and corneal because lens with the cornea, focuses image of the visual world onto the retina. Both of the main optical structure is affected by age, it affects the corneal endothelial cells and transparency of the lens. By aging the corneal endothelial cells decrease and the lens loses its transparency then the cataract appears [1,2]. it is known that cataract surgery effecting the corneal endothelial cells number. The surgery will be decreasing the corneal endothelial cells number. The severity to which endothelium is affected depends on many factors, such as phacoemulsification time and energy, surgical technique, anterior chamber depth, and use of ophthalmic viscoelastic devices (OVDs) [3]. A total of 52 people with cataracts were enrolled in this descriptive investigation. The study is included 52 eyes. Ages ranged from 43-77 years, with a mean age of 57,7 years. From this study 59,6% were men and the rest are women, which 79% were diagnosed with immature cataract, and 21% were diagnosed with mature cataract. It was found that 86,5% of eyes experienced a decrease in the number of corneal endothelial cells after cataract phacoemulsification surgery. The mean of corneal endothelial density pre surgery is 3126 cells/mm2 ± 246,1 and the mean of corneal endothelial density post-surgery is 3029 cells/mm2. The range of surgery time is 6-30 minutes. With the mean time of surgery 13,7 ± 5,8 minutes. From 52 eyes there are 45 eyes with corneal endothelial cells loss 7 days after surgery, with the mean of corneal endothelial cells loss after cataract phacoemulsification surgery are 152,3 ± 68 cells/mm2, the percentage mean was 6%, and we found decreasing in central corneal thickness, corneal endothelium density, hexagonality and increasing coefficient of variety.

Проведено дослідження показників червоної крові: гемоглобіну (Hb), вмісту еритроцитів (R), середнього об’єму еритроцитів (MCV), середнього вмісту гемоглобіну (MCH), середньої концентрація гемоглобіну в еритроцитарній масі (MCHC), відносної ширини розподілу еритроцитів за коефіцієнтом варіації (RDW-CV) у жінок – мешканок територій України з природною іонізуючою радіацією та дією на організм негативних техногенних факторів різної природи. Встановлено, що зміни показників червоної крові в умовно здорових мешканців територій з постійною дією низькоінтенсивної іонізуючої радіації, є різноспрямованими, залежно від комбінації з певними техногенними факторами. Для відновлення показників червоної крові у мешканців територій з постійною дією низькоінтенсивної іонізуючої радіації, необхідна розробка адекватних заходів з врахуванням негативних впливів техногенних факторів, які мають місце на конкретних територіях мешкання.

Low-density briquettes are known for having several undesirable characteristics, such as an intense yellow flame and smokiness that are too high for domestic applications. The pretreatment of feedstock has been identified as a tool for addressing these issues; however, process costs and variability conditions has significant impact on the selection and performance of these methods. Consequent on these, fermentation method was employed to investigate the effects of binder concentration and soaking time on briquettes produced from fermented G. arborea sawdust and used print paper binder in this work. Untreated sawdust samples were collected from sawmill's dumpsite and soaked for 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours under mesophilic and anaerobic conditions while used print paper were converted into pulped fiber. Briquette mix ratio by percentage weight proportions varied from (10:90-50:50) % dry basis. A statistical analysis of briquette densities revealed a significant positive correlation between the densities of fermented briquettes and the binder concentration at (p<0.05). Thermal efficiency decreased with increase in binder concentration with no significant difference in fermentation time, while the specific fuel consumption increased with increase in binder concentration. Fermentation time and binder concentration slightly improved the combustion characteristics of briquettes. Economic analysis suggested economic viability of the process.

Published: August 2022

Este artigo objetivou identificar, na literatura científica, publicações sobre tentativas de suicídio ocorridas na comunidade universitária LGBTQ+. Trata-se de revisão narrativa realizada nos meses de novembro de 2019 a março de 2020. Na seleção da amostragem, priorizaram-se artigos, dissertações e teses nos idiomas espanhol, inglês e português, publicados nos últimos cinco anos nas bases de dados da BVSP, PePsic e SciELO com os descritores: tentativa de suicídio, universitários e LGBT. Também complementaram a revisão bibliográfica livros, leis, documentos governamentais e não governamentais. Os resultados mostraram haver escassa publicação da temática em pauta, principalmente quando se agrega tentativa de suicídio à população LGBTQ+. Quanto às ações estatais voltadas para a população LGBT, em âmbito federal, detectou-se avanço a partir de 1988.

La presente investigación trata sobre la importancia de conocer los factores que inciden en la decisión de compra del consumidor en los puntos de venta retailing. El trabajo de investigación fue realizado a consumidores del supermercado Santa María ubicado en Baños de Agua Santa Ecuador como caso de estudio referencial. Los hallazgos obtenidos sirven como inicio de evaluación y por ende la mejora de las actividades de merchandising en el establecimiento. El levantamiento de información e investigación fue aplicado a 383 personas, consumidores del supermercado. El trabajo desarrolla una investigación descriptiva, donde se analizaron variables de la realidad actual post pandemia que se vive en la ciudad de Baños de Agua Santa, en conjunto con un levantamiento de información cuantitativa por la utilización de herramientas de medición estadísticos. Con lo antes expuesto, los datos recabados dan a conocer que sí existe una gran influencia sobre la decisión de compra del consumidor o shopper en el punto de venta. Las personas investigadas indicaron que factores como la ambientación, la ubicación de las góndolas, las activaciones realizadas en sitios estratégicos del supermercado, el olor, la atmósfera creada y la fachada los motivaron a ingresar y realizar compras no programadas, así como a los que ingresaban por artículos específicos decidieron generar compras impulsivas de ciertos productos. Esto da a conocer que la gestión del merchandising en el lugar es prioritaria. Por otra parte, se descubre que la atención del servicio al cliente es débil, lo que contrarresta las acciones de merchandising y por ende la fidelización del consumidor.
Comment on “Synergetic use of IASI profile and TROPOMI total-column level 2 methane retrieval products” by Schneider et al. (2022)
Authors: Ceccherini Simone
Published: July 2022

Abstract. A great interest is growing about methods that combine measurements from two or more instruments that observe the same species either in different spectral regions or with different geometries. Recently, a method based on the Kalman filter has been proposed to combine IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) and TROPOMI (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument) methane products. We show that this method is equivalent to the Complete Data Fusion method. Therefore, the choice between these two methods is driven only by the advantages of the different implementations. From the comparison of the two methods, a generalization of the Complete Data Fusion formula, which is valid also in the case that the noise error covariance matrices of the fused products are singular, is derived. This comment uses several equations reported in the preprint version of Schneider et al. (2022); therefore, reference is made to the preprint version of this paper.

Los estudios de género constituyen una línea de investigación asentada que cruza transversalmente los distintos ámbitos disciplinares, como el de la comunicación. En este campo, cada vez son más numerosos, conformando una línea creciente en la tradición investigadora española (Caffarel et al., 2018). Este trabajo analiza la investigación en comunicación en España desde la perspectiva de género en las principales ventanas de visibilidad científica: los Congresos de la Asociación Española de Investigación en Comunicación y las principales revistas de comunicación indexadas, conociendo quién y desde qué instituciones o centros geográficos se investiga y en qué objetos y ámbitos de la comunicación se centran esos trabajos. Las conclusiones señalan que la investigación en comunicación desde la perspectiva de género se realiza fundamentalmente por mujeres y suele centrarse en las representaciones femeninas en los medios y en los roles y estereotipos que proponen.

En esta investigación se determinó el perfil de SMart Ibérica (SMartib), una cooperativa de impulso empresarial (CIE) de España. Desde la website de la cooperativa, se recopiló la información pública de las 271 personas socias sobre varias variables como son la ocupación, el género y la localización. Se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial, y se probó la relación de las variables estudiadas con el PIB del municipio de residencia. Se descubrió que SMartib se centra en las actividades de artes escénicas, plásticas y audiovisuales, y tiene mayor representación en tres regiones: Andalucía (43%), Cataluña (24%) y Madrid (17%). No existe analogía entre las tres sedes de SMartib y el enfoque local de las cooperativas sociales nacionales. Si las personas socias residen en una capital, no implica que se desarrollen menos actividades culturales. Las personas afiliadas son personas físicas (91,88%) donde predominan los hombres (51,29%) frente a las mujeres (40,59%). El ser hombre disminuye las probabilidades de que su ocupación profesional esté vinculada con la educación y el deporte. La ocupación societaria registra una diferencia de género. Ellas se dedican a la gestión cultural, formación/traducción y artesanía, mientras que, ellos se dedican a la realización audiovisual.

Political parties are indispensable institutions for the contemporary era. They are present in various forms in the vast majority of states, regardless of the form of government or the political regime. For the Republic of Moldova, liberal democracy is a way of governing that started not long ago. Its assertion is characterized by the emergence of other political formations in parallel with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which in the period up to 1988-89, alone held the entire political power in our society as well as in the entire Soviet Union. Political activity in society is achieved not only through the state, institutions and organizations related to them, but also through a vast and complex network of extraterrestrial organizations and institutions. Of these, the oldest and most important are the political parties. The existence of political parties, of partisanship as a political phenomenon is an essential phenomenon of democratic life. Political parties are some of the basic elements of the contemporary political system, without which representative democracy cannot function.
