Avances y retrocesos en políticas educativas dirigidas a la población migrante en Chile: El caso del “identificador provisorio escolar”
Authors: Poblete Rolando , Moraru Mirona
Published: December 2020

A la luz de varias políticas educativas que no lograron garantizar la inclusión escolar del estudiantado inmigrante en las escuelas de Chile, en enero del 2017 se implementa el “identificador provisorio escolar”, cuyo fin es asegurar los derechos de los estudiantes migrantes con respecto a su ingreso y permanencia en los establecimientos escolares. Dada la falta de información respecto a la eficacia de esta política educativa, el presente estudio explora cómo esta normativa ha sido implementada en los establecimientos chilenos. Siguiendo un enfoque cualitativo descriptivo, el artículo está basado en ocho entrevistas semi-estructuradas con los directores y los encargados administrativos de cuatro escuelas de Santiago de Chile. Los resultados indican que generalmente la normativa es efectiva, asegurando el ingreso y permanencia de los estudiantes inmigrantes, lo que representa un avance hacia su igualdad de derechos. Sin embargo, destaca la falta de una política educativa que oriente sistemáticamente a los establecimientos en su labor con el estudiantado migrante en cuanto a la adaptación curricular, la nivelación inicial y los planes de acogida.
From storied to porous landscapes: antiquity, the environmental humanities, and the case for long-term histories
Authors: Schliephake Christopher
Published: December 2020

This essay makes a case for long-term history and its importance to the field of environmental humanities. Examining why the ancient world has only played a marginal role in this new paradigm so far, a new perspective on ancient environments is encouraged ‐ one that does not see these environments as static containers of cultural memory, but rather as dynamic sites of human-nature interaction. With the help of one central text from the ancient world, Pausanias’Description of Greece, this essay seeks to introduce a reconceptualization of the ancient Mediterranean region ‐ especially ancient Greece ‐ as a landscape of porosity.
Determination of Sustainable Domestic Waste Management System in densely populated areas along the Ciliwung River (Case Study: Cililitan Village)
Authors: Paramita Nadia , Ningrum Sari Sekar
Published: December 2020

The Ciliwung River is one of the main rivers flowing in the DKI Jakarta area. Ciliwung has an area of 370.8 km2, with a length of 124.1 km. The Ciliwung River contributes greatly to the communities in three big cities, namely Bogor, Depok and Jakarta as a source of drinking water, a source of raw water and a source of water for irrigation. The condition of household wastewater is currently discharged directly or indirectly into river water bodies. gray water is immediately discharged into the water body without being treated. Blackwater is treated to inadequate septic tanks or discharged directly into water bodies. This condition certainly requires a fast and precise solution and handling. In terms of domestic wastewater management, both gray water and black water, at this time Cililitan village is not included in the area that is accessible to centralized wastewater piping or off-site systems and does not have land that can be used to make a communal system waste treatment so that most of the households still throw away directly into the river or using a septic tank without regular desludging. The purpose of this study is to identify the current waste management conditions in Cililitan Village and provide recommendations for the selection of a sustainable domestic waste management system that is acceptable to the community and safe for the environment.

Published: December 2020

Organic waste is a type of waste produced by many sector, which need to managed appropriately. During its development, composting is one of the organic waste management efforts that is often be applied, Another alternative organic waste management in the form of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) has emerged. Several researchers conducted studies on MFC performance which was influenced by many factors, especially the electrode which contributes to the electron transfer process. This study has a concern about energy optimization through CSMFC technology using different electrode’s material. Electrode materials from Graphene and Graphit has good electro-conductivity and has a large surface area, making it suitable for bacteria to adhere. The sampled reactors are consists of two types of electrodes  in the form of graphite and graphene. Each materials has anode and cathode ratio of 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1. The samples measured into three kinds, which called a mature compost measurement, electrochemical measurement, and biochemical measurement. Some collected sampling data were then processed and analyzed statistically using SPSS software. The processed and analyzed data included the calculation of power density, total N, C/N ratio, and moisture content. Any data like voltage (V) and electric current (I) are needed to obtain a power density. The highest average voltage, current, power and power density are produced by the N3 reactor (graphene 3:1) that is 269 x 10-3 V, 163 x 10-6 A, 56 x 10-6 Watt and 1.914 x 10-3 W / m2. There is no significant effect of variations in the type of electrode (graphite and graphene) on CSMFC performances.

Uczeń w szeregach rzemieślniczych. System edukacyjny i wychowawczy chłopców w wileńskich cechach w dobie wczesnonowożytnej w świetle statutów cechowych
Authors: Manyś Bernadetta
Published: December 2020

In this paper, I analyse the educational and teaching systems developed for boys joining Vilnius craft workshops. The boys worked (participating in production) and prepared themselves for their future profession. In my paper, I present the educational and teaching paths leading to an apprentice assuming the status of a fellow. It is interesting how the students operated in the structures of the guild workshops and what skills they possessed. The research does not encompass the sons of master craftsmen and out-of-guild craftsmen who would come to Vilnius and attempt to join the craft guilds. These issues require a separate analysis. It was not my intention to provide a holistic study of the issue; rather, I revised and supplemented Józef Morzy’s research in which he partly analysed craft guilds in Vilnius with respect to the essential work skills. In my analysis, I made use of the statutes of the craft guilds operating in Vilnius, one of the biggest cities in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in the early modern period.

The Contest on Corporate Purpose: Why Lynn Stout was Right and Milton Friedman was Wrong
Authors: Clarke Thomas
Published: December 2020

It is now 50 years since Milton Friedman set out his doctrine that “The Social Responsibility of Business Is to Increase Its Profits.” This paper seeks to add fresh and compelling new evidence of why Lynn Stout was correct in her resolute critique of the thesis of shareholder primacy at the heart of the Friedman doctrine, and how this doctrine remains profoundly damaging to the corporations that continue to uphold this belief. It is argued that the Friedman doctrine has had a catastrophic impact upon American business and society beginning with General Motors failure to respond to investor calls for increased concern for safety and pollution at the time of Friedman’s intervention in 1970, stretching all the way to the recent fatal errors of Boeing in placing a higher priority in getting the new Boeing 737 MAX into the market than ensuring the soundness of software controls on the flight deck which led to two horrific plane crashes in 2018 and 2019 with the loss of 346 lives. These tragic errors in corporate judgement are ultimately related to the constricted sense of corporate purpose imposed by Milton Friedman and taken up with enthusiasm by agency theorists focused upon maximising shareholder value. This reckless single-mindedness has privileged the pursuit of the narrowest of financial measures of performance above fundamentals including passenger safety and environmental emissions controls. As a result, innocent lives have been lost, brands have been tarnished, and ultimately the strategic future of significant corporations endangered, and the ecology of the planet imperilled. There is now emerging a new sense of the purpose of the corporation that defines a rationale for corporate social and environmental responsibility in a way similar to Lynn Stout’s more inclusive stakeholder approach. The question remains open whether this will lead to the development of fiduciary duties, governance, strategies, targets, measures, transparency and disclosure that might deliver the sustainable corporation.
Injury classification and level detection of the spinal cord based on the optimized recurrent neural network
Authors: Jasim K Munavar , Brindha Thomas
Published: December 2020

Objectives

Spinal cord damage is one of the traumatic situations in persons that may cause the loss of sensation and proper functioning of the muscles either temporarily or permanently. Hence, steps to assure the recovery through the early functioning and precaution could safe-guard a proper interceptive. To ensure the recovery of spinal cord damage through optimized recurrent neural network.

Methods

The research on the spinal cord injury classification and level detection is done using the CT images, which is initially given to the segmentation that is done using the adaptive thresholding methodology. Once the segments are formed, the disc is localized using the sparse fuzzy C-means clustering approach. In the next step, the features are extracted from the localized disc and the features include the connectivity features, statistical features, image-level features, grid-level features, Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG), and Linear Gradient Pattern (LGP). Then, the injury detection is done based on the Crow search Rider Optimization algorithm-based Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CS-ROA-based DCNN). Once the result regarding the presence of the injury is obtained, the injury-level classification is done based on the proposed Deep Recurrent Neural Network (Deep RNN), and in case of the absence of injury, the process is terminated. Therefore, the injury detection classifier derives the level of the injury, such as normal, wedge, biconcavity, and crush.

Results

The experimentation is carried out using an Osteoporotic vertebral fractures database. The performance of the injury level detection based on the proposed model is evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The proposed model achieves the maximal accuracy of 0.895, maximal sensitivity of 0.871, and the maximal specificity of 0.933 with respect to K-Fold.

Conclusions

The experimental results show that the proposed model is better than the existing models in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity.
The prognostic and predictive value of platelet parameters in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss
Authors: Özcan İbrahim , Hira İbrahim , Kaya Altan , Yaşar Mehmet , Doğan Murat , Mutlu Cemil
Published: December 2020

Background

We aimed to evaluate the association between mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet count (PC) and plateletcrit (PCT), and the presence of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) and treatment response. In the literature, there is no study that investigates the platelet functions in diabetic patients with SSNHL.

Methods

The patients were retrospectively assigned into Group 1 (68 diabetic patients with SSNHL), Group 2 (63 nondiabetic patients with SSNHL) and Group 3 (64 healthy controls).

Results

PC was not significantly different between the groups (p > 0.05). MPV, PDW and PCT values were significantly higher in Group 1 as compared to Groups 2 and 3 (p < 0.05). Platelet parameters were not significantly different between the patients who were responsive and nonresponsive to the treatment. Therefore, the platelet parameters did not affect prognosis significantly in this study samples (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

This study showed that platelet parameters did not have a significant effect as a prognostic and predictive value in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with SSNHL. Further studies with more homogenous and larger study groups investigating the platelet parameters are needed to demonstrate microvascular damage and vascular alterations induced by diabetes mellitus.
Openness to Faith as a Disposition for Teachers in Catholic Schools
Authors: Horner Robyn , Pollefeyt Didier , Bouwens Jan , Brown Teresa , Jacobs-Vandegeer Christiaan , Heaney Maeve-Louise , Buchanan Michael
Published: December 2020

In the Catholic Church, which includes in its mission the provision of school education, the significant rise of “no religion” in Western societies prompts serious new questions about how this mission can be lived out. An important response can be found in the Enhancing Catholic School Identity Project, which provides empirical evidence of the lived faith dispositions of members of Catholic school communities and recommends the enhancement of Catholic school identity through the recontextualisation of faith in dialogue. We argue that the dispositions of teachers are a vital factor in the development of a Catholic Dialogue School. Using aggregated data in Australia, we illustrate the importance of a teacher disposition that is intentionally and explicitly open to Catholic faith.
The relation between second-trimester placental elasticity and poor obstetric outcomes in low-risk pregnancies
Authors: Akbas Murat , Koyuncu Faik Mumtaz , Artunç-Ülkümen Burcu , Akbas Gökce
Published: December 2020

Objectives

Increased placental stiffness is associated with various pathological conditions. Our objective was to evaluate the relation between the second-trimester placental elasticity value in low-risk pregnant women and poor obstetric outcomes.

Methods

A total of 143 pregnant women were enrolled. Placental elasticity values were measured using the transabdominal point shear wave elastography method. 10 random measurements were obtained from different areas of the placenta. The mean was accepted as the mean placental elasticity value. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent variables associated with obstetric outcomes.

Results

Second-trimester placental elasticity value was significantly and positively associated with the poor obstetric outcomes (p=0.038). We could predict a poor outcome with 69.2% sensitivity and 60.7% specificity if we defined the placental elasticity cut-off as 3.19 kPa. Furthermore, in the multiple regression model, the placental elasticity value added significantly to the prediction of birth weight (p=0.043).

Conclusions

Our results showed that the pregnancies with a stiffer placenta in the second trimester were associated with an increased likelihood of exhibiting poor obstetric outcomes. Also, placental elasticity was independently associated with birth weight.
Seasonal consumption of insects by the crested porcupine in Central Italy
Authors: Mori Emiliano , Di Gregorio Milos , Mazza Giuseppe , Ficetola Gentile Francesco
Published: December 2020

Many herbivorous, granivorous and frugivorous rodents can integrate animal proteins in their diet, still for many of them no information is available on the importance of animal food sources. The crested porcupine, Hystrix cristata, is considered a strictly vegetarian rodent. It may integrate animal proteins through bone-gnawing, while the importance of insects in his diet is poorly known. In this study we assessed the presence of insects in the diet of this rodent in Central Italy by collecting 141 faecal samples along transects in 2016–2020. Hypogeal plant organs were the main component of the diet (absolute frequency = 50.38%; volume = 60.13%). Insects were detected only in 6.8% samples, only in February–March, at the annual birth peak for the crested porcupine. Insect consumption, although occasional, could be linked to the nutritional requirements of this rodent during lactation.

Published: December 2020

Pneumonia associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been accounted for high mortality rate in severe COVID-19 worldwide, and additional serious scarcity of standard and effective anti-inflammatory drug in COVID-19 pneumonia management is a big challenge. Baricitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is a promising drug in COVID-19 pneumonia. This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 pneumonia treated with baricitinib with or without a loading dose. This prospective case-control study enrolled 37 adult patients where 17 patients (control) received baricitinib at 4 mg oral daily dose and 20 patients (case) received an additional single 8 mg oral loading dose. The median day to gain blood oxygen saturation level ≥95% (in room air) and return in normal breathing function were lower in case group than the control group. The requirement of intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation support was higher in the control group than in the case group [29.4% (N = 17)/10% (N = 20), P < 0.05; 11.8% (N = 17)/5% (N = 20), P > 0.05), respectively]. Thus, an additional loading dose of baricitinib revealed better clinical outcome of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Growth, chlorophyll content and productivity responses of maize to magnesium sulphate application in calcareous soil

Published: December 2020

Magnesium (Mg) is an essential plant macronutrient responsible for modulating many physiological or biochemical processes such as photosynthetic activity, amino acid synthesis and nucleotide metabolism. Agricultural soils with a more-than-adequate availability of calcium (Ca) have inherent Mg deficiency, potentially resulting in overall reduced soil productivity and crop yield potential. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the optimum soil application of Mg to increase crop growth and productivity under calcareous soil conditions. In addition to recommended soil application of mineral fertilizers, we applied the following four levels of Mg to the soil in the form of anhydrous MgSO4: control, 4 kg Mg ha−1 (Mg4), 8 kg Mg ha−1 (Mg8) and 16 kg Mg ha−1 (Mg16). Results showed that Mg16 application enhanced the plant height (21%), number of grains (18%), 1,000 grains weight (20%), grain yield (20%) and biological yield (9%) over control (p ≤ 0.05). Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll were generally higher at the Mg8 and Mg16 levels than at the control level. Contrasting to increases in growth traits, the concentration of K significantly decreased in grains, leaves and shoots of maize along the soil’s Mg gradient (p ≤ 0.05). We suggest that Mg16 overcomes the deficiency of soil Mg and can increase the crop yield traits in calcareous soils. More investigations of the effect of soil Mg on various crops grown in calcareous soils may add to our knowledge related to the stressing impact of soil Mg on plant K concentration.

Due to the rise in cost and detrimental health and environmental consequences that accompany the use of nematicides, there is a need for a more eco-friendly and less expensive alternative to control root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita). Nematode infestation reduces the quality and quantity of Celosia argentea Linn. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse to determine the biocontrol efficacy of Trichoderma asperellum against M. incognita in C. argentea. The treatments consisted M. incognita infected C. argentea inoculated with 0, 2.2 × 107, 4.4 × 107, or 6.6 × 107 cfu/pot of T. asperellum. All doses of T. asperellum reduced the root-knot nematode population and root gall index. Growth and development of C. argentea were improved, indicating that T. asperellum has the potential to be used as a biocontrol agent in C. argentea production. The biocontrol activity of T. asperellum in C. argantea increased as the week went by until the plants attained full maturity. Hence, the control of M. incognita by T. asperellum depends on the developmental stage of the plant root system.
Short food supply chains – a growing movement. The case study of the Viseu Dão Lafões Region
Authors: Pato Maria Lúcia
Published: December 2020

In spite of the increasing attention being paid to short food supply chains (SFSCs), research in the area is still scarce, particularly in Portugal. Thus, based on a case study in Viseu Dão Lafões Region (VDLR), we intend to identify and discuss (emphasizing potentialities and constraints) the movement of SFSCs in the region. This case study is based on document analysis and interviews with agrifood baskets’ promotors. On the one hand, the results show the wide variety of SFSCs that exist in the region and the emergence of new forms of SFSCs like the agrifood baskets. On the other hand, the empirical research also emphasizes the environmental, economic, and sociocultural benefits of SFSCs that will have a positive impact on the well-being of producers, consumers, and/or on the whole region. However, the interviews have also exposed a (certain) limitation in terms of communication and marketing that may constraint these initiatives. From a practical point of view, it became clear that producers must do their best to develop their communication and marketing strategies; from a political point of view, local authorities should provide the necessary assistance to help implement training programmes and develop suitable communication and marketing skills.
Reconsidering Dwelling: Notes Toward a Media Pragmatics
Authors: Melo Juan Pablo
Published: December 2020

This article analyzes the philosophical concept of dwelling from the perspective of a media pragmatics. Media pragmatics is presented here as a method that discloses the circular relation between rule-bound practices and the material and technological substrates that support them. This method is put into practice through a comparative philosophical interpretation of two “canonical” models of dwelling: the Greek oikos and the bourgeois home. Because dwelling, as Heidegger argued, is an interface mediating between the “lifeworld” and the “world” while also organizing relations within the lifeworld, it serves here as a privileged object for articulating this method.
Detroit Bike City and the Reconstitution of Community
Authors: Koukal D. R.
Published: December 2020

In recent years a burgeoning bicycle culture has reanimated the city of Detroit. The following essay analyzes this reanimation through the themes of embodiment, mobility, spatiality, and the intersubjective creation of place, using the techniques of phenomenology. The description that emerges is an evolving social ontology with implications for cities like Detroit. In such cities any plan for re-urbanization must re-conceptualize both transportation schemas and public space on terrain once dominated by the automobile. The provisional phenomenological description on offer here should be thought of as just one tool in this project, as Detroit and cities like it negotiate the reconstitution of their communities.
The vaping product use associated lung injury: is this a new pulmonary disease entity?
Authors: Mado Hubert , Reichman-Warmusz Edyta , Wojnicz Romuald
Published: December 2020

In the summer of 2019, an epidemic of e-cigarette or vaping product use associated lung injury (EVALI) broke out in the United States of America. EVALI is a lung disease that can be severe and life-threatening. It should be emphasized that EVALI is not a clinical diagnosis, but surveillance case definition. Due to the profile of users of such devices, the pathology mainly affects young adults, although cases of EVALI have been reported in almost all age groups, from teenage children to seniors. The worst prognosis is in patients over 35 years of age, with accompanying diseases. A significant number of patients declared the use of products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The most likely factor responsible for the occurrence of EVALI is vitamin E acetate, which is sometimes added to liquids necessary for the use of electronic cigarette type devices, especially those liquids that contain THC. Nevertheless, it is possible that other substances used in liquids may also be a causative factor. Typical for EVALI are respiratory, gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms, while in imaging tests, a characteristic feature of EVALI is the presence of opacities on the chest radiogram and ground-glass clouds on computed tomography scans. In the course of this disease, respiratory failure often occurs (58%). In the vast majority of cases oxygen substitution is necessary. Currently, the best treatment of EVALI is considered to be the administration of systemic glucocorticosteroids. Over 90% of patients with EVALI required hospitalization, while the mortality rate was about 2.42%. Median age of the fatalities was 51 years. The aim of this review is to summarise the available information on EVALI and to consider possible causative factors and pathomechanism.
An Accelerated Clogging Method by Manual Application of Sediments for Permeable Interlocking Concrete Pavements
Authors: Scott Jody , Sarabian Tahmineh , Bowers Robert , Drake Jennifer
Published: December 2020

The primary function of permeable interlocking concrete pavements (PICP) is to allow water to rapidly infiltrate through the surface and percolate to underlying sublayers, soils, or underdrains. However, as pavements age, surface infiltration rates diminish as sediments and debris accumulate on the pavement surface, eventually leading to surface ponding and runoff if no maintenance is applied. These studies clog PICP surfaces to better understand clogging mechanisms under different sediment types and to evaluate maintenance technologies intended to restore surface permeability. Clogging studies use different materials and methods to clog PICP surfaces, which impedes comparisons and interpretations across projects. This paper presents a new methodology to (1) create a realistic synthetic clogging material and (2) rapidly clog a PICP surface for experiments. The method described herein can be easily repeated by others to test a broad range of research questions for PICP surfaces while producing comparable results for studies conducted at different scales (lab, meso, field) and locations or with different sediment mixes. The proposed method was used to clog six identical PICP meso-cells in the field. Five cells were clogged with graded street sweepings collected from local municipal waste yards, and a sixth cell was clogged with a mixture of street sweepings and soils collected on-site. Over five weeks, the PICP surface infiltration rates were reduced from postconstruction levels (>10,800 mm/h) to approximately 250 mm/h. Statistical spatial analysis indicates that the surfaces were clogged evenly, but repeating infiltration measurements at the same location was observed to influence the resulting surface infiltration data. The PICP surface clogged with mixed street sweepings and on-site soils required approximately 43 % less material than surfaces clogged with street sweepings only to reduce surface infiltration rates to 250 mm/h.

Método de correlación de humedad edáfica en suelos intervenidos forestalmente y protegidos en el páramo de Siscunsí, Boyacá
Authors: Juan sebastian Moyano Pérez
Published: December 2020

Los páramos, renombrados por su vital importancia como reguladores hídricos, resultan ser ecosistemas bastante únicos; pues sus características abióticas hacen que posea una diversidad endémica y sensible, por lo cual, son susceptibles a cualquier tipo de modificación, lo cual tiene un trasfondo en su ciclo hídrico. Como áreas de estudio se tuvo una primera, presentando un muy bajo impacto de intervención, considerándose casi nula la presencia forestal. Y la otra, ofrecía un escenario de producción maderable por medio de pinos, la cual, se ha prolongado por varios años. Por ende, se buscó definir la correlación entre la cobertura vegetal y la retención hídrica para ambos escenarios, de la misma manera se logró identificar cambios en el potencial hídrico en los suelos de ambas zonas a través de las curvas de retención hídrica, para concluir en el modelo estadístico de regresión identificando el nivel de correlación del material vegetal sobre la humedad edáfica localizada en las áreas estudiadas. Se encontró un evidente contraste en el sistema suelo-humedad-planta, en donde las pendientes poco pronunciadas, registraron mayores niveles de humedad y aglomeraciones de frailejones, demostrando así un sesgo por orografía, para ambas zonas de estudio, y por otro lado, los modelos generados muestran una diferencia entre la saturación de variables, mostrando una relación indirectamente proporcional en función de su fidelidad predictiva

Published: December 2020

Dentro del contexto de la pasantía en la Comisión Colombiana del Océano en el Comité de Prevención de Contaminación Marina – Grupo de Minería y Recurso Hídrico se desarrolla el proyecto que se enmarca en la zona baja del río Dagua, el cual desemboca en la Bahía del Municipio de Buenaventura que a su vez se conecta con el Océano Pacífico. En esta zona de estudio se han evidenciado conflictos relacionados con actividades de extracción minera legal e ilegal de oro, cuyo impacto más conocido por su gravedad, es la contaminación por mercurio, que a pesar de presentarse constantemente en la zona, ha sido complejo ejercer control por parte de las autoridades, dado que se encuentra clasificada como zona roja. El mercurio, no solo ha incidido en el cauce del río, sino que ha afectado a la Bahía de Buenaventura; en donde, entre diversidad de estudios realizados, se ha encontrado este metal en: peces como la mojarra, la lisa y la corvina; pelícanos, macroinvertebrados como jaibas, camarón tigre y langostinos; y comunidades bentónicas. Por tal motivo, el proyecto pretendió identificar y analizar la tendencia de la presencia de mercurio en la Bahía de Buenaventura y la zona baja de la cuenca del río Dagua del 2004 al 2017 a través de información secundaria de entidades gubernamentales, instituciones académicas e investigaciones independientes, e identificar las medidas para el control, mitigación o minimización de los impactos negativos de la minería aurífera, específicamente en la zona baja de la cuenca del río Dagua y efectos sobre la Bahía de Buenaventura, con el fin de hacer hincapié en la magnitud del impacto que la actividad minera ha tenido y hacer un llamado de alerta regional y nacional al respecto.

Authors: Laura Zimmermann , Tomás Neu
Published: December 2020

La temática de este escrito considera tres asuntos conexos: las centralidades y periferias; el paisaje intermedio, y el borde urbano. Temas que se toman de la mano, pero no se aman; no conversan y mucho menos se miran. Convergen y conviven entre sí. En esa convivencia, contextualizan y generan disimilitudes, y establecen una espacialidad común: el crecimiento urbano que genera ocupación del territorio, produce desarraigos y segregación social, transgrede contra la sostenibilidad y el medio ambiente. De igual manera, ilustran funcionalidades que promueven el desarrollo y suscitan dinámicas sobre lo político, económico, social y cultural; narrativas y hechos concretos del devenir, de lo urbano y de sus habitantes. Mientras que las centralidades se ven deterioradas, discursos urbanos arremeten contra la periferia considerada como la menos favorecida debido a su lejanía a los centros de producción; es sinónima de asentamientos informales, déficit de bienes y servicios, y movilidad compleja y deficiente. Su localización alejada de administraciones centrales sobrepasa los límites virtuales establecidos, y arremete contra suelos rurales en ocasiones no aptos para ser habitados. Espacio público y equipamientos colectivos precarios, y en ocasiones insuficientes o mal administrados coaccionan múltiples problemáticas sociales (Moreno y Rubiano, 2014).

Authors: Diógenes Lagos Cortes , Asceneth Maria Sastre Cifuentes
Published: December 2020

Los deportistas que desean compaginar la práctica deportiva de alto rendimiento y la formación académica se encuentran con la ausencia de un modelo que supla las necesidades de formación de esta población en particular, esta situación conlleva la mayoría de las veces al abandono de alguna de estas dos opciones de vida, por cuanto los tiempos, escenarios y agendas de estos dos procesos resultan ser incompatibles. Este proyecto busca desarrollar un modelo de formación profesional en el área de la Cultura Física, Deporte y Recreación, que le permita al deportista de alto rendimiento hacer compatible la actividad deportiva con la actividad académica, favoreciendo el acceso, permanencia y finalización de estudios universitarios, mediante la generación de estrategias alternativas a los cursos y procesos convencionales. Para ello se pretende identificar las necesidades de formación profesional en el sector del deporte a nivel de Bogotá. Se encuentra que los programas ofrecidos en el área de la Cultura Física, Deporte y Recreación no son acordes a las necesidades de los deportistas de alto rendimiento.
Dido, reina de Cartago, un modelo actual de liderazgo femenino
Authors: Peláez Marqués José María
Published: December 2020

Este artículo valora las cualidades y competencias de Dido como líder de acuerdo con los sistemas que se utilizan actualmente en las empresas para la valoración de la capacidad de liderazgo de sus directivos. El método utilizado consiste en el análisis de sus acciones de gobierno y gestión al frente de Cartago según se describen en Eneida. A través de este análisis se valora su desempeño de las principales funciones directivas así como el nivel de competencia demostrado en dicho desempeño.

La adecuación de un sistema actual de evaluación directiva a un modelo clásico y los positivos resultados alcanzados por la reina ponen de manifiesto la vigencia de Dido como modelo de liderazgo femenino. También muestran la posibilidad de combinar los estudios del mundo clásico con los de las ciencias empresariales en la formación de directivos.

Como conclusión y complemento de la evaluación directiva de Dido se comparan los retos y dificultades a los que se enfrentaba como reina y mujer con los que encuentran hoy las mujeres que desempeñan puestos de dirección. La coincidencia en la mayoría de dichos retos pone, de nuevo, de manifiesto la actualidad de los modelos clásicos de liderazgo.
The Roman Virtue of Pietas and the Glorification of the Deceased Wife (CIL VI, 1527 “Laudatio Turiae”)
Authors: Alekna Darius
Published: December 2020

The subject of this paper is the multiplicity of meaning of the word pietas as it is used in the famous inscription CIL VI, 1527 called Laudatio Turiae. In revealing traditional and innovative aspects of this notion, the author tries to see the ideology of relations in the Roman family of the laudator and the laudata behind it, and to set it into the context of the changing world in the times of the Late Republic and the Principate within the Roman history.The inscription reveals that, in the eyes of laudator, pietas is the most important virtue of his defunct wife, laudata. In the course of the research, three features of pietas are marked out: 1) the virtue of pietas is operative exclusively in the sphere of family relations; 2) pietas relations always presuppose the hierarchical ones (e.g. children to the father / mother, wife to husband, younger brother / sister to the elder one); 3) the virtue of pietas always implies a strong action. Some new aspects of the functioning of the virtue of pietas can be observed when exploring the usage of the word in the inscription. For the first time in the Latin literature, the word pietas signifies the transfer of the virtue of pietas into the female domain, using it to describe the relation of the younger sister to the elder. But the most striking innovation is an inversion of the hierarchical order of children to the parents. For the first time, pietas means the duty of the parents to bring up their children in the best manner possible – an obligation which will find its place in the Roman law codes.The large usage of the notion of pietas and experimentation with its meaning, which finds parallels in the poetry of the Augustan age (Virgil, Ovid) signifies the susceptibility of the laudator to the ideas of the Augustan policies and his ideological stances.The article is preceded by a Lithuanian translation of the inscription with a short introduction.

Impacto y tendencia de la mortalidad por causas violentas en Colombia y México, 2000-2013
Authors: Dávila-Cervantes Claudio Alberto , Pardo-Montaño Ana Melisa
Published: December 2020

Objetivo Dado que la violencia es un problema de salud pública de primera magnitud en México y Colombia, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar los niveles, tendencias e impacto de la mortalidad por causas violentas —homicidios, suicidios, accidentes de tránsito (AT) y otros accidentes (OT) — entre 2000-2013, a nivel nacional, por sexo y grupos de edad.Métodos Se emplearon estadísticas vitales de mortalidad de fuentes oficiales. Se calcularon los años de vida perdidos (AVP) entre 0-100 años de edad y la contribución de las causas de muerte violentas al cambio en la esperanza de vida al nacimiento (e0).Resultados En Colombia se observó un descenso significativo de la mortalidad por violencia a partir de 2002, en todas las causas de muerte consideradas y en ambos sexos. En México, no se presentó un incremento significativo de la mortalidad por violencia en conjunto; por causas de muerte se observó una reducción de la mortalidad por AT y OA, la cual fue anulada por el incremento sostenido de la mortalidad por suicidios y el aumento de homicidios a partir de 2008. A partir de 2011, México presentó un mayor número de AVP por el conjunto de causas violentas que Colombia, en ambos sexos, lo que claramente ilustra las tendencias opuestas de la mortalidad por violencia en ambos países.Conclusiones La mortalidad por violencia se puede prevenir por medio de programas y estrategias que tomen en cuenta las edades donde tiene mayor impacto, con una perspectiva de género y con un enfoque multidisciplinario.

Objetivo Conhecer as práticas de gerenciamento do diabetes mellitus tipo 2 entre pessoas idosas relacionadas ao uso de medicamentos e estilo de vida. Métodos Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, em que foram entrevistadas 20 pessoas idosas com diabetes residentes no interior do estado da Bahia, Brasil, entre setembro de 2016 a março de 2017. Os resultados foram analisados pela Análise Temática proposta por Bardin, e o projeto foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia, sob parecer nº 1.535.559. Resultados Emergiram duas categorias após a análise:Gerenciando os “remédios de diabetes” e; Gerenciando o estilo de vida: entre rupturas, manutenções e ajustes. Nas práticas de gerenciamento relacionadas tanto ao uso dos medicamentos quanto ao estilo de vida adotado, houve reinterpretação do conhecimento científico orientado pelos profissionais, bem como o conhecimento oriundo da própria convivência com a doença. Cita-se, ainda, a colaboração dos diálogos com seu grupo de pertença, de modo que, integraram no cotidiano ações que concomitantemente ofereceram melhora da condição de saúde e promoveram o bem-estar enquanto pessoa em sua integralidade. Conclusão Compete aos profissionais da equipe de saúde implementar abordagens de cuidado centrada na pessoa e apoiar os usuários na tomada de decisão sobre os cuidados com a sua saúde.
