La limitación al poder presidencial en Colombia por medio del control de reformas constitucionales: La política judicial detrás de las sentencias de reelección presidencial y paz
Authors: Benítez-R. Vicente F.
Published: June 2022

Desde los albores del constitucionalismo democrático, se afirma que los tribunales son instituciones inherentemente débiles y, por ello, las posibilidades de limitar a sus contrapartes elegidas democráticamente, por medio del control de constitucionalidad, serían pocas. Sin embargo, el caso de la Corte Constitucional de Colombia desafía esta afirmación dado que en varias sentencias ha limitado el poder de presidentes al cuestionar la constitucionalidad de reformas constitucionales importantes para la agenda gubernamental (como reelección presidencial y paz). Este artículo pretende explicar las razones jurídico-políticas que han hecho que el control judicial de las reformas en Colombia haya sido un instrumento realmente efectivo para la limitación del poder presidencial. Concretamente, el artículo sostiene que la existencia de una arquitectura constitucional adecuada, condiciones político-culturales favorables y una estrategia judicial prudente, le permitió a la Corte Constitucional limitar a un actor mucho más poderoso como el presidente.

As a result, it was found that learners positively perceived class satisfaction, participation mode satisfaction, flow, perceived learning outcomes, teaching presence, collaborative process satisfaction, and socially shared regulations. Based on the results, we discussed what to consider when designing and implementing synchronous blended learning. Through the study, it is expected to improve the quality of synchronous blended learning conducted by educational institutions in the era of COVID-19.
A Phenomenological Study on the High School Credit System Regarding Social Studies Related Elective Classes
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Oh Sera
Published: June 2022

This study has carried out empirical phenomenological research on the elective class experienced by students who attended a leading high school. The study tried to reveal the factual structures of the ‘elective class experience’ in the high school credit system using phenomenological reduction methods. With the introduction of the high school credit system, students were "accepting changes while feeling two-sided emotions." ‘The motivation to participate in the class’ was 'changed' by interactions within the class. ‘Changes in evaluation’ have also brought ‘room to fully focus on classes’, but there is concern about downward leveling by allowing them to ‘strategically use their abilities’. Students demonstrated 'self-direction' and experienced 'career development'. However, 'self-directedness' was polarized according to each student’s motivation to participate in class. This study is meaningful in that it revealed what students experience within the high school credit system elective classes in the context of classes, motivation for classes, evaluation experiences in classes, and students' changes. Moreover, it suggested practical alternatives to the operation of the high school credit system.
Generation Gap and Conflict in teaching society: Focusing on the Inter-Generation Perception and Evaluation of Elementary School Teachers
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Han Miyoung , Moon Kyoungwha
Published: June 2022

This study explored the generation gap and conflict among teachers in the teaching society focusing on mutual perceptions and evaluations between teacher generations. For this purpose, in study 1 we classified elementary school teachers into the following: 86 generation, X generation, and the MZ generation respectively and examined the degree of mutual perception of each other by generation. Results of survey analysis show that the perception of generational differences between young MZ generation teachers in their 20s and 30s and 86 generation teachers in their 50s and 60s was noticeable, indicating clear generational boundaries. On the other hand, Generation X, who is in their 40s, is a generation sandwiched between the younger generation of the MZ generation and the older generation of 86 generation in terms of psychological distance. In addition, MZ generation teachers tended to perceive that generation differences could be the cause of intergenerational conflict than 86 or X generation teachers, but overall, elementary school teachers did not have a high perception of teacher conflict in schools. In study 2, through empirical data through FGI, how to evaluate each other between generations and the contents of mutual evaluation between teacher generations were examined in more detail. As a result of the study, each generation had both positive and negative perceptions of the other generation, but in particular, the lower generation, the MZ generation, had a stronger negative perception of the upper generation, the 86 generation. However, the perception of psychological discomfort or conflict felt by the other generation seems to be caused by differences in subjective perceptions and interpretations of expression methods or behavior patterns between generations. Based on the results of this study, implications for intergenerational communication and cooperation in the teaching society were discussed.
Z pamiętnika seniora – autobiograficzne wspomnienia dzieciństwa z czasów II wojny światowej
Authors: Zbyrad Teresa
Published: June 2022

Artykuł powstał na podstawie pamiętników seniorów, których dzieciństwo przypadło na czas II wojny światowej. Lata wojny odcisnęły swoje piętno na życiu tych, którzy doświadczyli tego trudnego okresu. Beztroskie dzieciństwo zostało brutalnie przerwane. Tuż po zakończeniu działań wojennych także nie było łatwo żyć. Dzieci musiały szybko dorastać, wcześniej pracować, w trudnych warunkach zdobywać wykształcenie. Jakość dzieciństwa była warunkowana wieloma czynnikami, takimi jak pochodzenie i położenie społeczne, sytuacja ekonomiczna rodziny, miejsce zamieszkania, sytuacja rodzinna, stan zdrowia. Korelacje tych czynników miały ogromny wpływ na przebieg dzieciństwa. Traumatyczne wspomnienia pozostały w pamięci seniorów. Pamiętniki są bogatym źródłem wiedzy o życiu człowieka, o rodzinie, o trudnościach życia. Stanowią pewnego rodzaju historyczny przekaz bardzo subiektywnych przeżyć, odzwierciedlają miniony czas, aby ukazać realia tamtych zdarzeń młodemu pokoleniu. W ten sposób pełnią funkcję edukacyjną, ale także terapeutyczną dla samych autorów.

The perception of Seoul from an American perspective during the port opening period.: American experience
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Lee Su Ki
Published: June 2022

The reasons why Americans are interested in Seoul and regard Seoul as more important than other regions are as follows. One is that Westerners had to enter Joseon during the opening of the port and enter Seoul, where the foreign legation was located, and even if they traveled to the provinces, they had to go through Seoul to the provinces. In addition, Seoul is characterized by a common area visited by Americans.
In this article, I would like to analyze the perceptions of Seoul that appeared in the interview period through the interview period of Americans and further summarize the perceptions of Seoul by country. I would like to analyze the records left by visiting Korea from the 1880s to the 1910s. Representatively, we will focus on the records of 10 people, including Lowell, Gilmore, Daniel Gifford, Mrs. Underwood, Hulbert, Allen, Underwood, J Robert Moose, Sands, and Noble.
The analysis focused on the first impression of Seoul recognized by Americans and the day and night scenery of Seoul.
The first impression showed common interest in the notation of Seoul on the map, Namsan Mountain and Buksan Mountain, two large mountains surrounding the royal palace, and the walls and gates between these two mountains, the royal palace, roads, relics, and the population of Seoul. The only change here was about the road.
The daytime part of Seoul showed common interest in transportation, shops and merchants, education, modern schools, sewage treatment and hygiene related to infectious diseases.
Here, the change was pointed out as a change in transportation means, such as tram, train, and steamboat, and as a change in schools, modern school education and methods were mentioned in the traditional Seodang.
The night part of Seoul showed common interest in Bonghwa, Bosingakjong, curfew, and patrol systems, which correspond to communication.
Here, the change was due to the change in communication, and the whole body and telegram were heard instead of beacon, and the curfew was abolished.
These changes were mainly changes that appeared after the Gabo Reform, and changes by period could be examined. In addition, most Americans emphasized that the pace of modernization and development of Joseon is faster than that of other capitals. The attempt is late, but it indicates that the speed is fast.
Finally, I finish writing in anticipation of being able to summarize differences or changes in perceptions by country by analyzing perceptions of Seoul by country other than the United States.
The Spathari Delegation’s Visits to China and the Formation of Russo-Chinese Contact Lines in 1675-1676
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Park Ji-bae
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to understand the meaning of the new line of contact between Russia and Ch’ing created by the Spathari delegation by examining the its preparation process and the travel route and analyzing it in the change of the Russia-Mongolia relations.
The two tasks of the Spathari delegation were first to establish regular diplomatic and trade relations with Q’ing and then to find a more convenient transportation route for diplomatic envoys and trade caravans to and from China.
The mission to establish stable diplomatic relations failed due to internal circumstances in the Qing Dynasty. However, Spathari was the first official ambassador of the Russian tsar to have an audience with the Qing emperor.
To this end, both sides of Russia and Q’ing made concessions, namely that Q’ing government gave special treatment to the Russian tsar's official documents, and Spathari performed a kowtow instead. In this way, the Russian ambassador could have an audience with the Qing emperor. The fact that ambassador plenipotentiary of the Russian tsar, meets the emperor through official procedures means a direct meeting between the two countries. This marks the formation of the first direct line of contact between Russia and Ching diplomatically.
The mission to explore traffic routes to China was successful in that the Spathari delegation created a new travel route between the two countries that did not pass through Mongolia. Previously, when Russia passed through Mongolian territory and went to and from China under the guidance of the Mongols, the Russians had no choice but to recognize China through the Mongols and to move according to Mongols’ intentions. But now, if necessary, the possibility of reaching Beijing directly without the permission of Mongolia has been opened, regardless of the situation in Mongolia. Geographically, it can be evaluated that Russia and China have established a direct line of contact.

Published: June 2022

Background: Primary gastrointestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PGI-DLBCL) lacks specific clinical manifestations and its malignancy renders prognostication and choice of treatment strategy difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate microRNA (miR)-21 as potential non-invasive biomarkers for prognosis in PGI-DLBCL patients. Methods: Serum miR-21 expression in de novo PGI-DLBCL patients, consecutively enrolled for this study, was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Relative expression was calculated using the comparative Ct method. Statistical significance was determined using the Mann-Whitney rank sum and Fisher’s exact test. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Compared with healthy controls, serum miR-21 levels were significantly elevated in the PGI-DLBCL patients (n=156). The high expression level of serum miR-21 at diagnosis was associated with worse progression-free survival (PFS) (30 (9–42) vs 42 (12–52) months in high and low miR-21 groups) and overall survival (OS) (35 (15–52) vs 48 (17–61) months in high and low miR-21 groups) and was an independent risk factor for PFS and OS (hazard ratios 4.345 and 3.311, respectively). Furthermore, Bcl-2, Bcl-6 and Ki-67 were independently and positively associated with miR-21 expression. Conclusions: Our results suggest that miR-21 is a potential prognostic marker to predict clinical outcomes in PGI-DLBCL patients and a high miR-21 level is associated with poor outcomes.

Authors: Vahidi Serajoddin , Narimani Nima , Dehghan Marvast Laleh , Mangoli Esmat , Nabi Ali , Sadeghi Mohammad
Published: June 2022

Background: The sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is one of the men’s reproductive health criteria that affects assisted reproductive technique outcomes. Efforts in obtaining high-quality mature sperms seem to be necessary. Advanced sperm selection techniques (including physiological intracytoplasmic sperm injection [PICSI], zeta potential, microfluidic, etc.) have gained popularity in this regard.
Objective: The study aimed to compare the efficacy of zeta potential and PICSI sperm selection in obtaining sperms with better DNA integrity.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 48 couples were enrolled where the male partner had increased sperm DFI in his ejaculated sample and the female was in normal reproductive health. For each male partner, the semen sample was processed with zeta potential and PICSI techniques, then the sperm DFI of neat semen was compared to zeta and PICSI samples by the sperm chromatin dispersion test.
Results: Data showed that both the zeta potential and PICSI technique decreased sperm DFI in comparison with the neat semen sample (p < 0.001 for both). In addition, there was a statistically significant difference in sperm DFI between the PICSI and zeta potential samples (p < 0.01).
Conclusion: The current study showed that both zeta potential and PICSI could result in sperm with a lower DFI. However, PICSI seems to be superior to zeta potential in this regard.
Key words: PICSI, ZETA potential, Hyaluronic acid, DNA integrity.

Authors: Sadeghi Nasrin , Fallahzadeh Hosein , Dafei Maryam , Sadeghi Maryam , Mirzaei Masoud
Published: June 2022

Background: Since women spend about one-third of their lifespan in menopause, accurate prediction of the age of natural menopause and its effective parameters are crucial to increase women’s life expectancy.
Objective: This study aimed to compare the performance of generalized linear models (GLM) and the ordinary least squares (OLS) method in predicting the age of natural menopause in a large population of Iranian women.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the recruitment phase of the Shahedieh Cohort Study, Yazd, Iran. In total, 1251 women who had the experience of natural menopause were included. For modeling natural menopause, the multiple linear regression model was employed using the ordinary least squares method and GLMs. With the help of the Akaike information criterion, rootmean- square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error, the performance of regression models was measured.
Results: The mean age of menopausal women was 49.1 ± 4.7 yr (95% CI: 48.8-49.3) with a median of 50 yr. The analysis showed similar Akaike criterion values for the multiple linear models with the OLS technique and the GLM with the Gaussian family. However, the RMSE and mean absolute error values were much lower in GLM. In all the models, education, history of salpingectomy, diabetes, cardiac ischemic, and depression were significantly associated with menopausal age.
Conclusion: To predict the age of natural menopause in this study, the GLM with the Gaussian family and the log link function with reduced RMSE and mean absolute error can be a good alternative for modeling menopausal age.

Poder de mercado, bienestar social y eficiencia en la industria microfinanciera regulada en el Perú
Authors: Aguilar Giovanna , Portilla Jhonatan
Published: June 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivos: cuantificar la pérdida de bienestar social en la industria regulada de microfinanzas en el Perú, generada por el poder de mercado y analizar su efecto en la eficiencia de las entidades microfinancieras, en el periodo 2003-2019. Los resultados muestran que la pérdida de bienestar social asociada al poder mercado sigue una tendencia creciente, pasando del 0.12% del PBI en el 2003 a 0.27% del PBI en el 2019. Por otro lado, encontramos que el poder de mercado tiene un efecto positivo sobre la eficiencia de las IMFs peruanas. Por lo tanto, la reducción del poder de mercado da lugar, de un lado, a una ganancia de bienestar al reducir la pérdida de bienestar social (triángulo de Harberger) y, de otro, a una pérdida de bienestar debido a la disminución de la eficiencia de las IMFs. No obstante, encontramos que la ganancia en bienestar es mayor a la pérdida, con lo cual, el efecto neto de una reducción del poder de mercado sobre el bienestar social, es positivo.
El personal de salud en la pandemia: trabajar en un umbral de riesgo permanente
Authors: Hudson Juan Pablo
Published: June 2022

Este artículo presenta algunos de los hallazgos más relevantes de una investigación de corte cualitativa que incluyó quince entrevistas con trabajadores de la salud (médicos/as, kinesiólogos/as y enfermeras/os) que trabajan en áreas que atienden a enfermos de Covid-19 en hospitales públicos y clínicas privadas de siete provincias de la Argentina. El objetivo fue relevar cuáles fueron las transformaciones en sus rutinas cotidianas, con un particular énfasis en las consecuencias que trajo aparejado el surgimiento de nuevos riesgos laborales. La hipótesis principal afirma que desde el surgimiento de la pandemia el personal de salud, especialmente los que trabajan en las Unidades de Terapia Intensiva, comenzaron a trabajar en un umbral de riesgo, es decir, en una relación cotidiana con una inminente o efectiva catástrofe sanitaria, lo que provocó síntomas y padecimientos físicos y psicosociales aún en el caso de aquellos/as que contaban con una vasta trayectoria. Si algo se modificó intensamente ha sido la relación histórica con los pacientes y sus familiares, lo mismo que con sus compañeros/as de trabajo, como consecuencia de la inédita contagiosidad de este virus y la permanente inclusión de nuevos protocolos de cuidado.

Published: June 2022

Background: Food Safety and Standard Authority of India has adopted conventional IS-5887 (Part-I) 1976 and IS-5401 Part-1 (2012) protocol for monitoring of E. coli and coliforms in dairy products respectively. These methods are time consuming, relying on bacteriological media and sometimes require further isolation and confirmation to finalize the true contaminant. The current investigation was carried out to develop such a broth media which will support growth of coliforms and inhibit other organisms associated within the micro-environment of coliforms and get entry in dairy products due to wrong processing practices and post production contaminant. Methods: The present investigation involved formulation of selective broth for coliforms by optimizing the rate of addition of Sodium lauryl sulphate salt, Gentamicin sulphate+Amoxycillin (in 1:1 ratio) and Cefsulodin by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Result: Formulation of selective broth for coliforms and E.coli consisting of Sodium lauryl sulphate salt, Gentamicin sulphate+ Amoxycillin and Cefsulodin which was added at the rate of 0.25 g, 10 µl and 312.5 µl respectively per 100 ml of broth. This combination of ingredients along with base composition of broth were able to increase the growth of coliforms as well as able to inhibit population of Salmonella typhi ATCC 14028, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.
Effect of Foliar Application of Manganese on Plant Growth, Nodulation and Biochemical Attributes of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) under Salinity Stress
Authors: Shahi Swati , Srivastava Malvika
Published: June 2022

Background: Salinity is one of the considerable factors which wanes crop productivity especially in arid and semi-arid realms of the world. The stress created by high soil salinity can cause osmotic stress, specific ion toxicity, nutritional imbalance, hormonal dysfunction and oxidative damage. A study was carried out to determine the effect of manganese (Mn) on growth rate index (GRI), Nodulation status, total nitrogen content, total amino acid content and total protein content of mungbean plants under salinity. Methods: Three indices were used to evaluate the effect of salt stress on development of mungbean plants (100, 200 and 300 mM NaCl). Untreated plants served as control expect. Mn was supplied to the plants in form of manganese chloride (MnCl2). The plant samples were analyzed for 65 days at every 10-day interval. Result: The results revealed that low level of salinity (100 mM NaCl) showed a significant increment in all the above observed parameters, while higher concentrations (200 mM and 300 mM) decreased the mentioned attributes. Foliar spraying with Mn (0.15%) mitigated the deleterious impacts of salinity and enhanced growth, nodulation and biochemical parameters. Thus, foliar treatment with Mn can be used in increasing the tolerance capacity of the plant and to enhance the nitrogen fixing ability of the plant under salinity.

High-Efficiency Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Thomas Ankit Stephen
Published: June 2022

Keeping in mind our community's dependency on non-renewable sources of energy, it is a gravitating issue that seeks our attention and requires us to switch to renewable sources of energy at the earliest. A Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) is a third-generation photovoltaic technology that has immense capability to become highly commercial in a few years. Along the same lines, it is necessary to highlight that current DSSCs have shallow lifetime values, stability and performance. The efficiency of current DSSCs and the need to tackle their choice of materials and long-term stability is a concern. Some of the highest recorded efficiency values are around 12%, and this calls for severe replacement of conventional DSSC materials, modifications in the device structure and molecules, and improvement in testing and scaling-up measures. This review article underlines an introduction to DSSCs, working principle, components, high-efficiency DSSCs, strategies to improve device performance, DSSCs research in India, the advantages and disadvantages of the device, and recent research on fruit and flower-based DSSCs. Keywords: Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Solar Cell Materials, Third Generation Photovoltaics, High-Efficiency Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells, Solar Cells.

Authors: Patwardhan Aditi
Published: June 2022

Academia and Industry are the two main driving forces of our economy. For the successful and smooth functioning of the economy, there is a need for these factors to join hands and work together. In the US, Industries reach out to Universities and academic institutions to bring innovation to their work. While in India, corporate bodies majorly rely on their own research. This scenario has been observed to change in recent years. However, this change has been limited to the field of Pure Sciences majorly. Very less has been explored in social science research and in particular Economics research when it comes to Academia-Industry collaborations. There is a need for better linkage between the corporate sector and Academic Institutions in India as it will facilitate innovation in the corporate sector and equip students with new skills and knowledge facilitating employment in today’s dynamic job market. This paper aims to suggest the scope and need for economics research collaborations in India with special reference to Behavioural economics research. It throws light on how such collaborations will increase the employability of Economics students in Job market as well as boost innovation in firms. It studies factors that act as challenges and suggests what can be done to accelerate Academia-Industry Collaborations with a focus on Behavioural Economics research.

Applications of AIS data analysis in bunkering Industry and its related factors
Authors: Gupta Sumeet , Gupta Anant Ashish Singh
Published: June 2022

In the ocean fuel transportation industry, the optimization of bunkering operations depends on price, position, delays from the expected route, and the cost of delays caused by the bunker operations themselves. Despite their potential importance, detailed bunker activity statistics at each port of call (e.g: waiting time, barge capacity, berth, or berth) are not available. A greater hid deviation from the usual method is that the provider, therefore, arrives past due for a bunker mission. The purchaser commonly has a time slot wherein it anchors as much as acquire bunker. If the bunker barge arrives past due, the purchaser can be beneath neath time strain because of closing dates for shipment, which may also reason the purchaser to interrupt the bunker operation earlier than the agreed quantity of bunker is supplied. This is obtainable confined interest from transport businesses and charterers because the fraudulent quantity is thought to be negligible. However, studies have recommended that the aggregated quantity of misplaced bunker is of big value. To screen such conduct we intend to make use of Automatic Identification System (AIS) statistics from bunker barges and numerous vessels they supply.

Fibers could be usefully employed to prove the interrelationship between perpetrators, victims, or crime scenes in death or sexual violence cases that occur through mutual contact. The most common method of collecting fibers at crime scenes is tape lifting, and for various analyses, fibers must be separated from the tapes. Various methods of separating fibers are being used, but most of them require a lot of time and effort. Thus simpler and faster collecting method is required. By transferring the solvent to a fiber attached site by using the capillary action of tweezers to the area to which the fiber is attached, it is possible to immediately collect the fiber with tweezers after dissolving the adhesive component. In addition, it can significantly reduce the harmfulness caused by solvent inhalation due to a trace amount of solvent transfer by capillary action. This solvent transfer method by capillary action can be applied to the V-shaped cutting method for individual fiber preparation and the fiber attached surface collection one for a large number of fibers to enable fast collection of fibers.

Published: June 2022

Objective: In this study, the relationship between malnutrition in the elderly population and the agriculture subsistence economy was examined.Methods: The study was conducted on two groups (farmers and non-farmers) aged 65 and over living in the province of Hatay, Southern Turkey. Anthropometric measurements of 111 (67 males, 44 females) in the farmer group (Group 1) and 89 (41 males, 48 females) in the non-farmer group (Group 2) were taken and their nutritional status was determined. The stature and body weight of the elderly who accepted to participate in the study were measured following international procedures and then body mass index (BMI) values were calculated.Results: In our sample, both groups had a low rate of undernourishment (Group 1 %2.7; Group 2 %1.1); however, overweight (Group 1 %38.7; Group 2 %32.6) and obesity (Group 1 %35.1; Group 2 %40.5) were more common. Although the prevalence of “overweight + obese” was higher in females in studies of the elderly, the contrary was observed in the farmer group, where the frequency rate was higher in favor of males. In the non-farmer group, results consistent with the general pattern were obtained.Conclusion: Due to daily lives and activity levels of women who live by farming, it has been found that the obesity prevalence in females has declined below that of males, indicating that the gender-based obesity pattern (females>males) in the general population is not valid in the farmer group.
