Préstamos léxicos del quechua y del castellano en el asháninka
Authors: Alonzo Sutta Alicia , Ramos Rios Licett
Published: March 2022

En este trabajo presentaremos algunos elementos léxicos de la lengua quechua que se encuentran en el vocabulario de la lengua asháninka. En vista de que este estudio constituye una primera aproximación al fenómeno del contacto lingüístico entre el quechua y el asháninka, no se precisará el dialecto quechua con el cual se habría producido el contacto lingüístico. Los elementos léxicos waripa, sonqo y achka procedentes del quechua se habrían incorporado al vocabulario de la lengua asháninka como préstamos lingüísticos. Así mismo, el contacto del castellano con el asháninka, en épocas más recientes, habría dado lugar a los préstamos del castellano en esta lengua amazónica; palabras como “sable” y “cuchillo” del castellano corresponderían a las formas sabiri y kotsiro en asháninka.

Semiótica y comunicación. Teoría de los signos y los códigos
Authors: Escobar Zapata Emérita
Published: March 2022

En el presente artículo, desarrollamos el tema de la semiótica como la ciencia que estudia los procesos de significación. Como la ciencia que explica e interpreta los mecanismos verbales y no verbales utilizados por el hombre para comunicarse, esto es, para trasmitir información sobre diversas realidades; regularmente, lo hace a través de una gama de signos. Esto es comprensible, porque en verdad, el ser humano es un ser simbólico, por excelencia: crea, emite e interpreta signos, y a su vez, los organiza y sistematiza a través de los códigos, en uno y otro caso, está implícita la cultura. Sin duda alguna, para entender la naturaleza del ser humano y la comunicación, hay que entender los signos así como los códigos. En este sentido, para una mejor comprensión e incluimos una y variedad de ejemplos, tomados directamente de los usuarios en un contexto determinado.

Evidencias del contacto de lenguas en Arequipa: los poemas lonccos
Authors: Guajardo Castro Alejandra Martina
Published: March 2022

En este estudio presentamos los resultados del análisis de una muestra del léxico registrado en poemas costumbristas (“poemas lonccos”) que dan cuenta de la variedad de castellano hablado en la provincia de Arequipa. Estos resultados muestran la presencia de raíces no castellanas que podrían corresponder a algunas de las lenguas que estuvieron en contacto a la llegada de los expedicionarios españoles al valle. Los resultados obtenidos reforzarían la teoría de una presencia puquina en el área, seguida de la expansión aimara y luego la presencia tardía de la lengua quechua.
La semántica cognitiva y los esquemas-imagen en el sistema fitonímico de los jacaruhablantes
Authors: Escobar Zapata Emérita
Published: March 2022

El objetivo central en la presente investigación es interpretar datos léxicos inéditos, registrados en fuentes filológicas como las del Estudio Botánico de Enma Cerrate y Oscar Tovar (1952-1954), en la Monografía de Tupe de Isidoro Iturrizaga (1941) y en Julio C. Tello (1940-1945), también inédito, correspondiente a los pueblos de Tupe, Aiza (provincia de Yauyos, Lima), donde hasta ahora se habla el idioma jacaru. Metodológicamente, se ha cotejado la información escrita con la tomada directamente de los pobladores. Aunque se trata de más de cien nombres, aquí solo expondremos algunos de ellos, a partir de los cuales se procederá a identificar los esquemas imágenes recurrentes siguiendo el enfoque cognitivo. En el léxico fitonímico, se revelarían indicios del sistema de conceptualización propio de estos pueblos jacaruhablantes.
Pulsating hydromagnetic flow of Au-blood micropolar nanofluid in a channel with Ohmic heating, thermal radiation and heat source/sink
Authors: Rajkumar Devendiran , Subramanyam Reddy Anala
Published: March 2022

The current work deals with the pulsating flow of Au-blood micropolar nanofluid with the existence of thermal radiation and Joule heating. Micropolar fluid is addressed as blood (base fluid) and Au (gold) as a nanoparticle. The flow has been mathematically modeled, resulting in a delicate system of partial differential equations (PDEs). A perturbation technique is used to convert the PDE system into ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which are subsequently solved by using the shooting method with the Runge–Kutta fourth-order scheme. The effects of various parameters on the velocity, microrotation, temperature, and heat transfer rate of Au-blood nanofluid are graphically depicted and explored successively. The obtained findings bring out that the velocity of nanofluid decreases over a rise in the coupling parameter, magnetic field, and nanoparticle volume fractions. The temperature is reducing with an increment of radiation parameter, frequency parameter, coupling parameter, magnetic field, and volume fraction of nanoparticles. Further, the results show that the Nusselt number against frequency distribution increasing with the rising values of the Eckert number.

Regional response to post-socialist decollectivisation – The example of slovak villages in the little carpathians
Authors: Danglová Oľga
Published: March 2022

This paper addresses questions connected with the restructuring of agriculture in the Little Carpathian region, which is one of the most dynamically developing regions of western Slovakia. Analysing the course of the transformation process in large-scale postsocialist agricultural enterprises, the author stresses its variable character in the differentiated local context. Attention is given also to other spheres of agricultural activity: the enterprises of privately producing farmers, and private plot production for families’ own use. It is argued that in the real economy of the region the importance of agriculture as a branch of production has declined. Ideas of the region’s progress and prosperity are rarely associated with agriculture nowadays (with the exception of vine-growing). Nonetheless, agriculture is beginning to be perceived as a natural part of the landscape, as a particular feature which must be preserved and utilised in the long-term, including in the context of developing regional tourism.
Structural, Electronic, and Magnetic Properties of Sr\(_{1-x}\)Mn\(_{x}\)F\(_{2}\) Alloys Studied by First-principles Calculations
Authors: Do Minh Hoat , Sanchez Jonathan Guerrero , Perez Rodrigo Ponce , Rivas Silva Juan Francisco , Cocoletzi Gregorio Hernandez
Published: March 2022

In this work, the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the Sr\(_{1-x}\)Mn\(_{x}\)F\(_{2}\) (x = 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1) compounds are investigated using first-principles calculations. Crystallizing in fluorite structure, SrF\(_{2}\) is a magnetism-free indirect gap insulator with band gap of 11.61 eV as determined by the reliable mBJK functional. Mn substitution induces the magnetic insulator behavior as both spin configurations exhibit large band gaps with a strong spin-polarization. Specifically, spin-up energy gaps of 8.554, 7.605, 6.902, and 6.154 eV are obtained for Sr\(_{0.75}\)Mn\(_{0.25}\)F\(_{2}\), Sr\(_{0.5}\)Mn\(_{0.5}\)F\(_{2}\), Sr\(_{0.25}\)Mn\(_{0.75}\)F\(_{2}\), and MnF\(_{2}\), respectively. Whereas, the spin-down state shows larger values of 8.569, 8.864, 9.307, and 9.837 eV, respectively. Consequently, significant magnetization is induced and an integer total spin magnetic moment of 5 \(\mu_{B}\) is obtained, being produced mainly by the spin-up Mn-3d state. Finally, the formation enthalpy and cohesive energy are determined, which indicate good thermodynamic and structural stability of the studied materials. Results suggest that Mn substitution at the Sr-sites of SrF\(_{2}\) compound may be an efficient approach to create new magnetic materials to be used in the spintronic devices.
Near Infrared Metal-insulator-metal Surface Plasmon Resonances for Refractive Index Sensors
Authors: Hoang Cam Thi Hong , Ha Tuan Minh , Pham Van Dai , Ngo Quang Minh
Published: March 2022

This work reports the optical properties of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on the metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure towards a refractive index sensor. The MIM-SPR structure operating near infrared region consists of lateral periodicity of subwavelength gold patterns placed on a stack of thin silica spacer and silver film (acting as a reflector) on a silicon substrate. The reflection spectra and the electric field distributions of MIM-SPR structures can be tuned by modifying the geometrical properties and have been numerically investigated by using Lumerical’s finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solutions. The square lattice configuration of 1200 nm to 1400 nm pitch of gold micro-disks of thickness from 80 nm to 120 nm have been conducted. The size of these considered gold patterns, i.e., the diameter of the micro-disks is in the range of 900 nm to 1000 nm. The proposed MIM-SPR structure possessing sensitivity of 370 nm per refractive index unit (RIU), can be applicable for a wide variety of plasmonic sensing, in particular for refractometric biosensors.
Assessing L2 Portuguese writing: idea density and sentence complexity
Authors: Lopes Ângela Filipe , Pinto Maria da Graça Lisboa Castro
Published: March 2022

Abstract: Idea density and grammatical complexity were proposed as writing assessment parameters by Snowdon et al. (1996) and by Kemper et al. (2001) in the Nun Study (Snowdon 2001). The same parameters are used here to assess advanced Portuguese L2 writing in a learning context (C1/C2) in order to confirm them as valid assessment measures in a L2. Quality in writing is expected to translate into lexical precision and richness as well as sentence complexity. Results confirmed that reading has an influence on writing quality, insofar as the students who usually read are the ones who got the highest scores in both parameters. Results were nevertheless highly variable due to the heterogeneity of the group of participants. Both measures, idea density and grammatical complexity, were found to be correlated in two writing tasks, a synthesis and a writing prompt, which led to the conclusion that participants who write with lexical precision and richness also produce higher complexity sentences regardless of language and writing task variability.

Published: March 2022

Large field of view cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images allows the visualisation of anatomical structures outside of the teeth and jaws. These areas include the cranial vault and paranasal sinuses. Occasionally pathology, anatomical variation and various other incidental findings can be seen.1 As the use of CBCT has become more common amongst general dentists and specialists, awareness and understanding of incidental findings are of great importance, for the patient as well as medico-legal reasons. Calcifications that are found as incidental findings on CBCT scans within the brain can be pathological or physiological in origin. areas within the brain where physiological calcifications can be found include the pineal gland, choroid plexus, habenular, tentorium cerebelli, sagittal sinus, and falx cerebri. The most reported form of physiological brain calcifications is in the pineal gland and is thought to be an age-related change.2 Pathological calcifications are less common than the physiological variants and are because of more serious diseases such as infectious diseases, endocrine disorders, metastatic lesions, and primary intracranial tumours, to name a few.
Mandibular myiasis: A case report
Authors: Abdoola I , Bouckaert MMR , Ibrahim M
Published: March 2022

Myiasis is a condition characterised by the infestation of live vertebrates with dipterous larvae. Myiasis is derived from the Greek word mya, meaning fly. Dipterans, (order Diptera), are two-winged insects known as true flies. Myiasis tends to occur in cutaneous, necrotic lesions of patients who have weak immune systems, who inhabit unhygienic environments. Maggot Debridement Therapy is an uncommon treatment of debriding necrotic tissue, with some utility. A case of mandibular myiasis involving a malignant mandibular lesion that was colonised by maggots is discussed.

Clinical features of Rheumatoid Purpura in adults
Authors: El Arabi Yasmina , Hali F , Marnissi F , Chiheb S
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Rheumatoid purpura is a systemic vasculitis of small vessels that is more common in children than in adults. The aim of our study was to revise the characteristics of rheumatoid purpura in adults. Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive and analytical study [June 2016 - June 2021], including all the patients hospitalized in the dermatology department of Ibn Rochd University Hospital for rheumatoid purpura. We first described the characteristics of adult patients aged over 18 years old, and then we compared them to those of the children (<18 years old) to determine the clinical features in adults. Results: A total of 18 adults (15 women/3 Men) and 9 children were collected. Adults had a mean age of 48 years [27-66 years]. Vascular purpura was constant, complicated by necrosis in 12 patients, bullae in 6 patients, and ulceration in 2 patients. Joint involvement was present in 16 patients. Ten patients presented digestive signs: epigastralgia (n= 4), abdominal pain (n= 8), and rectal bleeding (n= 2). Cutaneous biopsy showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis in all patients with IgA and C3 deposition in 13 patients. Renal involvement was present in 6 patients. After comparison with the children group, the particularities in adults were the absence of previous drug intake (p= 0.009), absence of pruritus (p= 0.009), presence of bullae (p= 0.05), presence of severe digestive involvement (p= 0.033), joint involvement (p= 0.003), and presence of anemia (p= 0.017). Conclusion: Rheumatoid purpura in adults is characterized by its severe clinical features.
On the shape and fate of our Universe
Authors: S Kalimuthu
Published: March 2022

Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity revolutionized physics and cosmology. Newton assumed four identities namely mass, energy, space, and time. He told that space is absolute. Einstein modified and refined Newtonian concepts s by postulating that mass-energy and space-time. This enabled Einstein to find special relativity theory which predicted the variance of mass with velocity, the equivalent of mass and energy, time dilation, and length contraction. The extension and generalization of special relativity theory is the outcome of general relativity theory which is the geometrical interpretation of gravity. Almost all the predictions of Einstein’s general relativity theory have been experimentally verified. By delving into the equations of general relativity, the famous Russian mathematician Alexander Freedman found that the geometry of our Universe has only three possibilities, namely, open, closed, and flat. Freedman’s publication in the 1920s paved the way to study the geometry and fate of our Universe. Recently, NASA’s WMAP spacecraft and ESA’s Planck probes and observations revealed that the geometry of our Universe is flat with a marginal error of 0.04%. But to this day, there is no mathematical proof for these observations. In this short work, by applying the multiplication and division laws of number theory to cosmic triangles the author attempts to show that the shape/geometry of our Universe is FLAT.

Effectiveness of exercise therapy and self-management education to improve physical activity levels in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: protocol of a systematic review and meta-analysis v2
Authors: Yamamoto Koki , Takayama Mami , Nonoyama Tadayoshi , Kon Yusuke , Saimon Yoshiki , Kitagawa Takashi
Published: March 2022

We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise therapy and self-management education in improving physical activity levels (PA) in patients with acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) and to provide future research directions. We plan to include all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise therapy and self-management education or either intervention alone designed to improve PA in patients with AECOPD. We will determine the differential effects of exercise therapy and self-management education interventions on daily steps, moderate to vigorous activity time (MVPA), and sedentary equivalent time (SB) (P: AECOPD, I: 1. exercise therapy, 2. self-management education, 3. exercise therapy and self-management education, C: usual care, O: steps per day, MVPA, SB). In this review, we plan to use five databases. Two reviewers will screen articles to identify studies for inclusion.For risk of bias assessment, we will use Risk of Bias 2 tool.
The Impact of Post-War Transnational Consultants in Housing and Planning Development Narratives: The Case of Otto Koenigsberger
Authors: Pacheco Mónica
Published: March 2022

In the aftermath of the Second World War, the progressive dismantling of previous power-nations and the independence of many countries have contributed to new political, economic, and technical processes and highly mobile flows of people and ideas. Yet, research has overlooked knowledge channels outside of mainstream geopolitical frameworks. In particular, the role and power of international aid organizations, their development assistance programs, and the impact of the emergent new actor of this phenomenon—the consultant—in housing and planning narratives deserve to be examined. This article proposes to do so by exploring the historical contribution of Otto Koenigsberger (1908–1999) as part of the first generation of CIAM-UN experts. His view of “housing as a problem of numbers” engaged him on a lifelong pedagogical and transnational political project of decolonizing architectural education and the redefinition of both the profession and the professional. By emphasizing the importance of (a new) training, it raises questions on what sort of knowledge housing may require, by whom knowledge competencies may be conveyed, and how that knowledge should be instrumentalized. The article draws on extensive archival research, findings on the protagonists and institutions involved, and the author’s interviews with key players that shed light on evolving conceptualizations of “development,” built environment, educational programs, and knowledge production. Ultimately, examining the terminology underlying the expertise delivered through consultancy reports vis à vis the education and skills needs contributes to a better understanding of the foundations of housing as a problematized field of architectural education.

La Enfermedad Arterial Periférica (EAP) se caracteriza, por la oclusión progresiva de las arterias de las extremidades inferiores, afectando a gran parte de la población mundial. Se conoce que los factores de riesgo más reconocidos de la enfermedad y el estilo de vida pueden producir cambios epigenéticos que influyen en el desarrollo de la EAP. Por consiguiente, el objetivo de este estudio, fue realizar una revisión bibliográfica acerca de las últimas investigaciones de la enfermedad arterial periférica, asociadas a factores de riesgo y la epigenética, resaltando la importancia de la modificación de los estilos de vida saludables. La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos de PubMed, Cochrane, Science Direct y Google Scholar, eligiendo solo artículos en español e inglés publicados en los últimos 10 años. Se encontró que aquellas personas que tienen prácticas de vida saludables presentan un mejor pronóstico y menor probabilidad de desarrollar EAP. De acuerdo a lo anterior y debido a que existe evidencia suficiente, se recomienda crear hábitos de estilos de vida que permitan a los pacientes tener una mejor calidad de vida así como reducir la carga por esta enfermedad.
Del juego al juego cooptado. De los clásicos a la literatura moderna…
Authors: Reyes-Rodríguez Alixon David
Published: April 2022

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar contradicciones que en el contexto teórico-epistémico se vienen produciendo en el tratamiento literario del juego, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la autotelicidad como característica fundamental del mismo. Esto tiene implicaciones en el ámbito de la práctica pedagógica, por lo que, el debate no invita a la polarización o al establecimiento de una lógica binaria, sino a la consolidación del elemento lúdico en el escenario escolar, colocando cada cosa (el juego y otras actividades lúdicas) en su justa dimensión, tiempo y lugar. De allí que, se advierta la cooptación del juego en el afán de otorgar productividad al juego a fin de incorporarlo en el escenario escolar y en el marco de la arquitectura curricular.  Finalmente, se invita al ejercicio coherente, no solo a nivel del tratamiento teórico-epistémico, sino también en cuanto a la práctica pedagógica, habida cuenta los procesos de subjetivación que se generan a partir de la instancia del juego.

3D accuracy display evaluation of the relief elements at the Earth's surface by space remote sensing systems
Authors: Petrov A.S. , Nazarov A.E. , Demin D.S.
Published: March 2022

A methodology has been developed for estimating the error of three-dimensional mapping of the elements of the relief of the Earth's surface during its remote sensing by space radio interferometers, the equipment of which is placed on two separate platforms flying in close orbits. Numerical results of statistical analysis of the influence of deviations of interferometer parameters from nominal values on the accuracy of target positioning during the entire period of the platforms' orbits are presented. The first section describes a method for solving the navigation problem of determining the position of the target in interferometric mode with the given values of three vector parameters of the problem (the position of the platform, base and speed of the reference antenna) and four scalar (slant range to the target, Doppler frequency, phase shift and wavelength). The relations for calculating the dependence of the sensitivity of the interferometer on the variations of its parameters are given in the second section. The third section is devoted to solving issues related to the positioning of the target relative to the surface of the geoid. The fourth and fifth sections describe two procedures: setting the targeting vector of the radio interferometer antenna pattern to the Earth's surface and analyzing the orientation and kinematics of its base. The simulation results are presented in the sixth section of the article. Statistical analysis in the given example showed that in order to achieve the submeter accuracy of positioning the elements of the relief of the earth's surface, it is necessary that the errors in setting the parameters of the navigation task to be solved do not exceed: 0,5 m on the slant range, 5 mm on the base, 0,25 m/s on the speed of the support platform and 7º on the phase shift.

Published: March 2022

Background: Chronic urticaria, with or without angioedema, has been defined as daily or almost daily symptoms and signs recurring for more than six weeks. Chronic urticaria has an idiopathic etiology in majority. This is called as chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) or chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Aim and objectives were to compare the clinical features in CIU patients with a positive autologous serum skin test (ASST) and negative ASST.

Methods: Fifty clinically diagnosed patients of CIU attending the department of DVL OPD at tertiary care teaching hospital, were enrolled based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: ASST was positive in 48% (24/50) of patients with CSU. In study of 50 patients, 66% were females and 34% were males. The mean age of patients was 36.8 years. The disease's median duration was 10 months and 11 months in ASST positive and ASST negative groups respectively. Of the 50 patients, 20 patients showed a positive response to the test for simple dermographism, of which 13 were ASST positive. Of the 50 patients, 8 patients gave a history of atopy, of which 5 were in the ASST positive group, 3 were in ASST negative group.

Conclusions: In the present study ASST was positive in 48% of patients with CIU. Majority of ASST positive patients had almost daily attacks. ASST positive patients had a longer duration of persistence of wheals. ASST is a fairly good indicator of autoimmune etiology for chronic urticaria.

Authors: Sindhuja Avula , Rao S Anitha
Published: March 2022

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of natural extracts and Sodium hypochlorite against E. faecalis.

: The present study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of natural extracts (Moringa oleifera and Carica papaya) and Sodium hypochlorite against E. faecalis.

Carica papaya and Moringa oleifera leaf extracts were obtained. 30 extracted incisor teeth were taken and access cavities were prepared, canals were prepared using the crown-down technique. E. faecalis suspension was placed into root canals and was incubated. Teeth were divided into three groups based on irrigating solutions: 1. 3% NaOCl, 2. Moringa leaf extract, 3. Papaya leaf extract. Dentinal shavings were collected on BHI agar and were incubated. Colonies of E. faecalis were counted.

: Differences were found in colony count for different irrigating solutions. p-value < 0.05 is considered statistically significant.

: Moringa oleifera has good antimicrobial properties compared to Sodium hypochlorite and Carica papaya.

The results should be considered for further research in minimizing the use of chemical substances and increasing the use of effective herbal extracts in root canal treatment.

: The debilitating vasoproliferative retinal disorder retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a prequel to neonatal blindness is known to be increasing in recent years with improved advances in neonatal care and survival. Aim of this study was to study the incidence of ROP, risk factors, and response to the gold standard treatment of laser has been explored in this study.

: In this prospective observational study of all neonates referred to the retina clinic of a tertiary care centre, from both in-house referrals and peripheral centres. Demographic data, both maternal and neonatal data were recorded. Neonates complying to inclusion and exclusion criteria were examined under 28 diopter lens and all ROP were documented using RetCam. Laser photocoagulation was performed and later followed up according to ETROP schedule.

: 699 neonates were screened in the study and ROP was detected in 13.73% (182/1398) of this population, with mean gestational age 31.82±2.44 weeks and mean birth weight 1425.36±287.73 grams. Neonatal risk factors of gestational age <34 weeks, low birth weight, ventilatory support, RDS, oxygen supplementation, sepsis, birth asphyxia, blood transfusion, and phototherapy were found to have significant association for incidence of ROP and those requiring treatment. When 67.58% regressed spontaneously, all 59 eyes requiring treatment underwent laser therapy. 46 out of these 59 eyes (77.97%) showed regression and remaining seven eyes required further intervention.

: Better premature neonates survival rates has shown an increased incidence of ROP over the past decades. Red flag signs like low gestational age, low birth weight, RDS, oxygen supplementation, sepsis, blood transfusion, AGA and twin pregnancy are confirmed to have significant association with the development of ROP. Laser therapy still remains effective in controlling progression of the disease.
