Política Agraria y Desarrollo Rural en Cuba
Authors: Bequer Maritza de la C. McCormack
Published: February 2019

Cuba, país eminentemente agrícola, donde se estructura la propiedad sobre la tierra en tres formas fundamentales, la propiedad estatal, cooperativa y de los agricultores pequeños.

Es el Ministerio de la Agricultura el Organismo de la Administración Central del Estado, el encargado de trazar la política agraria del país, y con ella la estructuración del desarrollo rural de Cuba. Aproximadamente más del 82% de toda la tierra cultivable del país, es propiedad estatal, sin embargo, los que más aportan a la economía son las otras dos formas de propiedad, no obstante no se ha logrado cubrir las necesidades de alimentos de toda la población, siendo indispensable establecer políticas públicas por parte del Estado que contribuyan al desarrollo rural, la producción y consecuentemente la comercialización agrícola.

Es por ello que el establecimiento de la concesión de la tierra estatal en usufructo ha personas naturales y jurídicas, ha constituido una de las formas que se han encontrado, como políticas públicas, para poner a producir grandes extensiones de tierras en beneficio personal y colectivo para alcanzar una soberanía y seguridad alimentaria.
El Reflejo de los Contratos (Aparentemente) Simulados en Contabilidad: el Caso de las Operaciones con Partes Vinculadas
Authors: Álvarez Francisco Javier Sosa , Juan Ana Isabel Segovia San
Published: February 2019

El propósito de este trabajo es revisar la valoración y representación de los negocios simulados en la información económica y financiera que elaboran las empresas. En concreto, nos hemos fijado en las operaciones con partes vinculadas porque son un buen ejemplo de la prioridad del fondo económico sobre la forma jurídica de la transacción. De hecho, la norma contable parece que entiende que se produce una simulación cuando se lleva a cabo una operación con una parte vinculada obligando a informar de la misma con independencia de cómo se haya pactado entre las partes. La solución prevista en el Código Civil (CC en lo sucesivo) considera que la simulación se basa en la existencia de una causa falsa que debe provocar la nulidad del contrato, salvo que se pruebe que está fundado en otra causa verdadera y lícita (art. 1276 CC). Si nos parece llamativa la aparente diferencia entre lo mandado en unas normas y en otras, aunque la superior jerarquía de las segundas hace imposible la discusión, mayor problema nos produce la fórmula seguida para ponderar la sustancia de la transacción sobre su forma. En la fecha de redactar este trabajo nos preocupa que un problema de tanto calado se esté resolviendo caso a caso mediante las respuestas (no necesariamente vinculantes frente a terceros) del Instituto de Contabilidad y Auditoría de Cuentas pues no parece el medio más idóneo. Bien nos parece en conclusión que subyace un interés tributario que no precisamente económico.
Ejercicio y Tutela del Derecho de Información en las Sociedades de Capital Españolas
Authors: Barceló Judith Morales
Published: February 2019

El derecho de información reconoce al socio la posibilidad de solicitar informaciones o aclaraciones sobre los asuntos comprendidos en el orden del día de una convocatoria de junta. El ejercicio del derecho, como cualquier otro derecho, no puede ser abusivo, desde un punto de vista objetivo y subjetivo, y debe ser de buena fe. El derecho de información no es absoluto, sino que está sometido a unos límites, pues en determinadas ocasiones los administradores pueden denegar la información, salvo que la petición esté apoyada por un determinado porcentaje de capital. Los motivos que permiten la denegación son los siguientes: a) la información sea innecesaria para la tutela de los derechos del socio; b) que existan razones objetivas para considerar que podrá utilizarse para fines extrasociales; c) que la publicidad de la información perjudique a la sociedad o a sociedades vinculadas. Después de la Ley 31/2014 (por la que se modifica la Ley de Sociedades de Capital para la mejora del gobierno corporativo), la vulneración del derecho de información no legitima al socio para impugnar los acuerdos sociales afectados. La tutela del derecho se logra exigiendo el cumplimiento del derecho y, en su caso, solicitando la indemnización de los daños y perjuicios que la vulneración del derecho haya podido ocasionar.
Max Weber y su Crítica al Capitalismo Racionalizado – la Pleonexía como un Mal del Capitalismo Empresarial Moderno
Authors: Ugarte Jesús Víctor Alfredo C.
Published: February 2019

El capitalismo moderno no es producto de una generación espontánea ni de una situación accidental. El capitalismo moderno es el resultado de todo un proceso histórico y en donde, sobre todo en la actualidad, el cálculo premeditado ha cobrado especial relevancia al igual que el ansia de ganar más y más, demasiadas veces, a costa de sacrificar derechos, respetos y consideraciones hacia los demás y hacia todo lo demás. El apetito insaciable por las cosas materiales y por la ganancia es, precisamente, lo que platónicamente se identifica como la pleonexía. En este trabajo desvelo esta situación desde las reflexiones de Max Weber, quien ya nos advertía, en sus obras, lo que venía implicando, para su época, el desarrollo del capitalismo, y que hoy resulta, su análisis, más certero y aplicable a nuestra realidad.

A Suprema Corte di Cassazione e o Revirement sobre os Danos Punitivos na Itália: Algumas Anotações
Authors: Posenato Naiara
Published: February 2019

O Acórdão 16.601, de 5 de julho de 2017, pode ser considerado um dos julgados de maior ressonância da Corte Suprema de Cassação italiana nos últimos anos. Nele, as Seções Unidas decidiram sobre a homologação de sentença estrangeira e, mediante o instituto de forte conteúdo nomofilático previsto no art. 363, 3, do c.p.c. italiano (Principio di diritto nell’interesse della legge) preanunciaram um revirement da própria jurisprudência e elaboraram um princípio jurídico geral que deixa antever a futura possibilidade de que sentenças estrangeiras de condenação a danos punitivos sejam reconhecidas. E, qual pressuposto para tal reconhecimento, afirmou expressamente a dúplice natureza – prevalentemente reparatória e, em menor medida, também sancionatória – da responsabilidade civil no ordenamento italiano.

Aortocaval compression resulting in sudden loss of consciousness and severe bradycardia and hypotension during cesarean section in a patient with subvalvular aortic stenosis
Authors: Chen Shouming , Wu Lan , Jiang Xiaoqin
Published: February 2019

Background: Maternal cardiac arrest during cesarean section (CS) is an extremely rare but devastating complication. Preventing emergency events from developing into maternal cardiac arrest is one of the most challenging clinical scenarios.
Case presentation: A 35-year-old pregnant woman with subvalvular aortic stenosis (SAS) who was scheduled for elective CS under epidural anesthesia, and experienced devastating supine hypotensive syndrome, but was successfully resuscitated after delivery.
Conclusions: The performance of tilt position strictly or high-quality continue manual left uterine displacement (LUD) should be performed until the fetus is delivered, otherwise timely delivery of the fetus may be the best way to optimize the deadly condition.
Keywords: Subvalvular aortic stenosis, Pregnancy, Cesarean section, Hypotension.
Cervical myeloradiculopathy with Hypoglossal Schwannoma mimicking Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a Case report
Authors: Ambawatte Sathyajith Buddhika , Weerathunga Dulmini , Dissanayake Athula , Somarathne Surangi
Published: February 2019

Background: A presentation of upper motor and lower motor clinical signs without sensory impairment may suggest Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, especially when it involves limbs and bulbar regions. However, co-existence of two or more unrelated pathologies can give rise to a clinical picture similar to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Case presentation: A 45 year old lady presented with slowly progressive right upper limb weakness for 6 months and mild left upper limb weakness for 2 months associated with muscle twitching. Her family members have noticed a change in character of her speech for few weeks. She couldn’t recall a radicular pain at any given time. On examination, her right deltoid was wasted with numerous fasciculations over right proximal muscles. Right shoulder movements were weak. Her left deltoid was slightly wasted and fasciculations were appreciated. Her both biceps and supinator jerks were normal with exaggerated triceps jerks and positive Hoffman sign. Sensory and proprioception examinations were unremarkable. Both lower limbs were hypertonic with exaggerated knee and ankle jerks. Ankle clonus was absent and plantar responses were equivocal. Her tongue was deviated to right side with fascicuations and wasting of right side. Palatal movements and Jaw jerk were normal. She was clinically diagnosed as possible amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Electromyography showed denervation changes in deltoids and biceps with right predominance and right genioglossus muscle too showed denervation changes. Magnetic resonant imaging of brain stem was undertaken especially because her tongue wasting and fasciculations were unilateral and it showed a right sided hypoglossal schwannoma. Magnetic resonant imaging of cervical spine revealed degenerative disk disease with mild cord compression and exit foramina narrowing at multiple levels.
Conclusions: Pure motor symptoms with a mixture of upper motor and lower motor signs may suggest a clinical diagnosis of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, when there are rare manifestations of a relatively common disease, such as unilateral tongue involvement as in the above scenario, a higher degree of clinical suspicion is needed to think of a dual pathology.
Keywords: Hypoglossal schwannoma, cervical myeloradiculopathy, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, dual pathology.
Body mass index is a risk factor for hemorrhagic transformation in older ischemic stroke patients after intravenous thrombolysis: a single center retrospective study
Authors: Miao Changqing , Yin Xiaoyan , Mu Chunying , Qu Yan , Luo Guogang , Zhang Yurong
Published: February 2019

Background: The aim of our study was to determine whether body mass index is a predictor of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke patients after intravenous thrombolysis.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted to recruit 261 participants from a single center in China (67.0% males, median age 65 years). A head computed tomography scan was performed after 24 hours to evaluate hemorrhagic transformation occurrence, and a computed tomography scan was performed immediately in cases of clinical worsening. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate the association between risk factors and hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke patients after intravenous administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator.
Results: Of 261 patients, 40 (15.3%) developed hemorrhagic transformation (55% males, median age 70 years). Body mass index was higher in patients with hemorrhagic transformation than in patients without hemorrhagic transformation (25.7 vs 23.7; P value, 0.013). The multivariate logistic regression model showed that body mass index was an independent predictor of hemorrhagic transformation in patients aged ≥ 73 years (odds ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.22-2.49) but not in patients aged < 73 years (odds ratio, 1.01; 95% confidence interval, 0.87-1.18). In addition, the odds ratio was 5.16 (95% confidence interval, 2.21-12.04) when the body mass index was ≥ 25 kg/m2 compared to a body mass index < 25 kg/m2.
Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that body mass index was an independent predictor of hemorrhagic transformation in older acute ischemic stroke patients after intravenous thrombolysis.
Keywords: Body mass index, Hemorrhagic transformation, Intravenous thrombolysis, Ischemic stroke, Older patients.
Clinical, Neuroimaging, Biochemical, and Genetic Features in Cases of Chinese Patients with Adrenomyeloneuropathy
Authors: Li Jie , Wang Hongfen , He Zizi , Wang Xiangqing , Tang Jing , Huang Dehui
Published: February 2019

Background: Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare neurogenetic disease,adrenomyeloneuropathy is the most common adult phenotype, such patients in China have not gotten enough attention.This article aims to study the features of AMN in Chinese patients and expand the gene spectrum of Chinese X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) patients.
Methods: We applied clinical analysis, radiology, plasma levels of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) and genetic analysis to test the 6 Chinese AMN patients.
Results: All 6 patients are men. Ages of neurological symptom onset distributed between 21 and 38. Sexual dysfunction occurred in 5 of 6 patients. Three patients had positive family history. Five patients had Addison's disease. Four patients were diagnosed as pure AMN, the other two patients with cerebral involvement. Four patients have abnormalities of nerve conduction studies. There are four patients with central conduction defects in somatosensory evoked potential tests. All 6 patients found diffuse cord atrophy in spinal MRI. Brain MRI showed abnormal signals in 2 of the 6 tested patients, which indicated the clinical phenotypes. Plasma levels of VLCFA, as well as C24:0/C22:0 and C26:0/C22:0 ratios were elevated in 5 tested patients. Five different ABCD1 mutations were identified in 5 tested patients, one of which was a de novo mutation, and the other four have been reported previously.
Conclusion: This research described the clinical, neuroimaging, biochemical, and genetic sides of Chinese AMN patients. A de novo mutation in the ABCD1 gene sequence was identified. Mental stimulation may trigger or aggravate the development of cerebral demyelination in AMN patients. Regular evaluation of brain MRI is important for AMN patients, especially for ‘pure AMN’ patients. When encountering patients with ‘myeloneuropathy-only’, neurologists should not ignore the tests of VLCFA or/and the ABCD1 gene.
Keywords: Adrenomyeloneuropathy, Addison disease, Spastic paraparesis, Very long chain fatty acid, ABCD1.

Authors: Guo Rui , Fan Chaofeng , Chen Ruiqi , Yu Zhiyuan , Tian Rui , You Chao , Ma Lu
Published: February 2019

Background: Primary intraventricular hemorrhage is a rare type of stroke and little is known its causes, characteristics and outcomes in children.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients aged one month to 21 years during seven consecutive years with primary intraventricular hemorrhage. Primary intraventricular hemorrhage was defined as bleeding confined to the ventricular system without parenchymal or subarachnoid hemorrhage involved.
Results: Of the included eighteen patients, 55.6% were female, and the mean age was 13.8 ± 6.0 years. The most common symptoms on presentation were headache (77.8%) and vomiting (33.3%). Fifteen patients (83.3%) were diagnosed with known etiologies, including arteriovenous malformations (66.7%), Moyamoya disease (11.1%), and aneurysms (5.6%). Idiopathic PIVH was diagnosed in only 3 patients (16.7%). Fifteen patients (83.3%) underwent surgical intervention, and 3 patients (16.7%) received conservative treatment. Four patients (28.6%) had an unfavorable outcome at discharge and unfavorable was observed in 3 patients (16.7%) at the 3-month follow-up. Higher Graeb score was associated with an unfavorable outcome both in short-time and long-time follow-up.
Conclusions: Most primary intraventricular hemorrhage patients were diagnosed with arteriovenous malformations in the pediatric population. Specific surgical treatment of underlying etiologies should be required to increase clinical improvement. The children with higher Graeb score at admission tended to have poor early and late outcome.
Keywords: Primary intraventricular hemorrhage; pediatric; surgery; vascular disorders.

Published: February 2019

Background: Up to 30% of patients with mild ischemic stroke suffer neurologic deterioration. However, optimal medical approaches of such patients remain controversial given the efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether patients with acute mild stroke stratified with ABCD2 score (the risk of stroke on basis of age, blood pressure, clinical features, duration of symptoms, and presence of diabetes mellitus) could benefit from IVT.
Methods: Among 3321 patients with a final diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack, we retrospectively included 227 patients identified with acute mild neurologic deficits (National Institution of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS ≤5) treated with or without IVT. Odds ratios (OR) with their confidence intervals (CI) for outcomes between groups were assessed by using multivariable binary logistic regression analyses. And the heterogeneity of treatment effect magnitude for excellent outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0-1) was estimated in different subgroups.
Results: A total of 227 cases were enrolled, 108 receiving IVT and 119 treated with secondary stroke prevention strategies alone. Patients receiving IVT had more history of atrial fibrillation. At 7 days, 32 (29.6%) patients with IVT treatment versus 17 (14.3%) patients not receiving IVT achieved significant improvement (≥4-point NIHSS score decrease; OR, 2.57; 95%CI, 1.29-5.12; P=0.007). At 90 days, excellent outcome was achieved in 85 (78.7%) patients treated with IVT versus 78 (65.5%) patients without IVT treatment (OR: 2.95; 95% CI, 1.44-6.03; P=0.003), especially in those with ABCD2 score≥4 (78.4% versus 64.6%; OR, 2.81; 95%CI, 1.31-6.03; P=0.008). Besides, 7(6.5%) IVT-treated patients versus 2 (1.7%) non-IVT-treated patients developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH; OR, 4.05; 95%CI, 0.82-19.96; P=0.085), among these only 1 (0.9%) was symptomatic ICH with IVT treatment.
Conclusions: For acute mild ischemic stroke patients, we reassured the safety and especially the efficacy of IVT at 7- and 90-days. Patients with 4 or more of ABCD2 score might benefit more from IVT.
Keywords: Prognosis, risk scores, stroke, intravenous thrombolysis.
Cobalt+Salt-Stressed Salvia officinalis: ROS Scavenging Capacity and Antioxidant Potency
Authors: TORUN Hülya
Published: February 2019

Salvia officinalis L. (Lamiaceae) is one
of the most widespread herbal species used in the food processing industry and
for culinary and medicinal purposes. This work aimed to investigate changes in
plant growth, water content, lipid peroxidation, H2O2,
proline, and enzymes related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) detoxification
including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), catalase (CAT),
ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR). Phenolic contents
and antioxidant capacity values such as ferric ion reducing antioxidant power
(FRAP), cupric ion reducing antioxidant capacity (CUPRAC) and
2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging were studied under
stress conditions of salt, cobalt and a combination of the two. No significant
differences were found in relative water content and chlorophyll fluorescence
under salt, cobalt and their combination. However, the osmotic potential and
relative growth rate were enhanced with salt+cobalt compared to salt-treated
plants. Salt and cobalt individually stimulated high antioxidant activity. High
APX and GR activities were associated with the high proline accumulation in the
sage plants under the combined effect of salt+cobalt. The combination decreased
lipid peroxidation (TBARS), while H2O2 content was increased.
This increase with the combined salt+cobalt effect may be associated with the
decrease in CAT activity. Moreover, a strong correlation was found between TPC
and TF content and antioxidant capacity measured via FRAP, CUPRAC and DPPH. The
TPC, TF and antioxidant capacity values also increased under the salt+cobalt
combination, suggesting an increase in antioxidant content in the sage leaves.
Therefore, the combination of salt and cobalt improved the stress tolerance of S. officinalis.
The impact of external factors on the monetary stability in Jordan for the period 1990–2015
Authors: Nafea Al-Zararee Abdul , Batarseh Atif
Published: February 2019

This study aimed to examine the impact of external factors (external grants and aid, external public debt, remittances of Jordanians labor abroad and external shocks) on the efficiency of the monetary policy, which aims at achieving monetary stability through influencing inflation rates in Jordan during the period 1990–2015, by using standard regression equation estimated by the ordinary least squares (OLS). The findings of the study showed a statistically significant impact at 1% of each of the external grants and aid, and remittances of Jordanians labor abroad on the efficiency of monetary policy through targeting inflation rates in Jordan. As to the variables of external public debt and external shocks, the findings showed a weak impact, which was not statistically significant at a reasonable level, on the efficiency of monetary policy. The researchers recommended that decision-makers pay further attention to the vital role of the remittances of the Jordanians labor abroad, which is one of the main bases of the Jordanian economy. This is due to its crucial impact on the Jordanian economy.

Job turnover in Generation Y has become a common phenomenon in industry in large cities. They tend to believe that it is not difficult to leave their jobs and not important to immediately settle in an organization. The study aimed to understand the mediating role of organizational commitment (OC) between perceived organizational support (POS) and turnover intention (TO). A purposive sampling technique was used in this study with 284 generation Y employees living in large cities (19-37 years old) as participants. There were three questionnaires used in this study namely Turnover Intention Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale and Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. The investigation discovered that POS positively affected OC and negatively TO. Employing mediation analysis showed that OC was a significant mediator from the relationship of POS and TO. The findings of this research provide organizations with information about how to effectively manage and retain Generation Y employees through POS and OC.

Published: February 2019

Prolonged conflict in Aceh has caused trauma in people who were directly affected. Aside from post-traumatic disorder, a traumatic event can bring out post-traumatic growth (PTG) too. PTG is a positive transformation that is resulted from an adap­tation process of traumatic events in life. This study aimed to examine the relation­ship between coping and PTG. There were 55 respondents involved in this study, who were obtained by using purposive sampling technique. The sample criteria were those experiencing by themselves certain events during the conflict, men and women over 20 years old, able to read and write, and willing to be respondents for the study. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (α = .88) and Ways of Coping Questionnaire (α= .89). The data were analyzed with the Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The analysis results showed a significant correlation between post-traumatic growth and coping (r = .523; p < .01). In addition, coping ways that correlated with post-traumatic growth were seeking for social support (r = .545),  distancing (r = .315), self-control and accepting (r=.274), while confronting and escape did not have a correlation with post-traumatic growth
Organic products: the Current Legal Forms of Production and Turnover Support
Authors: Белякова Зинаида , Belyakova Zinaida
Published: February 2019

Organic food products are a complex object of technical regulation. It combines, on the one hand, the requirements to finished food products and the production processes, and, on the other hand, the principles of organic agriculture. In terms of organic products and features of its production, the Russian Federation is at the initial stage of legal framework formation, while the USA and EU countries have been involved in these issues for more than 20 years. However, the development of organic agriculture and the production of appropriate products have good prospects in Russia. The experience of countries with high growth rates of organic production showed that the key points for the successful formation of the organic food sector is the establishment of the legal framework and the development of state regulation and control. According to the law established in 2018, organic products are environmentally friendly agricultural products, raw materials, and food that meet the requirements of the Federal law of August 3, 2018, No. 280-FL: “On organic products and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”. The law will be the basis for legal self-determination of organic products and processes of their production. It might also serve as a stimulus for the formation and development of the organic sector of food products in Russia. The present review features a retrospective analysis of the formation of international regulatory norms in the sphere of organic products, the corresponding international laws, and the experience of advanced countries, as well as the current state of the legislation in some former Soviet republics and the Russian Federation.

Published: February 2019

It is a modern trend to use various types of plant materials in food formulae. Such an approach improves the technological properties of meat and prolongs the shelf-life of finished products. Flaxseed flour is one of the most advantageous plant crops with antioxidant properties. The present research features the effect of flaxseed flour on the oxidative processes of combined minced poultry and the synergistic effect of flaxseed flour with antioxidant additives, including ascorbic acid (0.05%), sodium citrate (0.03%), and α-tocopherol (0.02%). The paper presents an experimental research on oxidation of lipid and protein fractions of minced meat in semi- smoked sausages according to the amount of flaxseed flour that was introduced in the formula alone or in combination with various additives of antioxidant action. When 5–10% of hydrated flaxseed flour was added into the minced meat, it resulted in an inhibition of lipid oxidation. In the combined minced meat at a storage temperature of 0–4°C, the content of secondary oxidation products remained within the acceptable limits defined by safety standards (2 mg MA/kg) up to 4 days. However, this level was exceeded after only 3 days of storage in the control sample. The experiment made it possible to define the indicators characterizing the development of oxidation processes of the color-forming proteins of minced meat with the addition of flaxseed flour, including the amount of common pigments,metpigments, nitric oxide pigments, and heme iron. The indicators proved the stabilizing effect of flax flour on the coloration of the combined minced meat systems. From the point of view of inhibiting the oxidation of the lipid and protein components, the maximum synergistic effect was provided by two combinations: 1) flaxseed flour and sodium citrate; 2) flaxseed flour, sodium citrate, and α-tocopherol.
A novel deseasonalized time series model with an improved seasonal estimate for groundwater level predictions
Authors: Mohanasundaram S. , Suresh Kumar G. , Narasimhan Balaji
Published: February 2019

Groundwater level prediction and forecasting using univariate time series models are useful for effective groundwater management under data limiting conditions. The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) models are widely used for modeling groundwater level data as the groundwater level signals possess the seasonality pattern. Alternatively, deseasonalized autoregressive and moving average models (Ds-ARMA) can be modeled with deseasonalized groundwater level signals in which the seasonal component is estimated and removed from the raw groundwater level signals. The seasonal component is traditionally estimated by calculating long-term averaging values of the corresponding months in the year. This traditional way of estimating seasonal component may not be appropriate for non-stationary groundwater level signals. Thus, in this study, an improved way of estimating the seasonal component by adopting a 13-month moving average trend and corresponding confidence interval approach has been attempted. To test the proposed approach, two representative observation wells from Adyar basin, India were modeled by both traditional and proposed methods. It was observed from this study that the proposed model prediction performance was better than the traditional model's performance with R2 values of 0.82 and 0.93 for the corresponding wells' groundwater level data.
Drought forecasting: A review of modelling approaches 2007–2017
Authors: Fung K. F. , Huang Y. F. , Koo C. H. , Soh Y. W.
Published: February 2019

Droughts are prolonged precipitation-deficient periods, resulting in inadequate water availability and adverse repercussions to crops, animals and humans. Drought forecasting is vital to water resources planning and management in minimizing the negative consequences. Many models have been developed for this purpose and, indeed, it would be a long process for researchers to select the best suited model for their research. A timely, thorough and informative overview of the models' concepts and historical applications would be helpful in preventing researchers from overlooking the potential selection of models and saving them considerable amounts of time on the problem. Thus, this paper aims to review drought forecasting approaches including their input requirements and performance measures, for 2007–2017. The models are categorized according to their respective mechanism: regression analysis, stochastic, probabilistic, artificial intelligence based, hybrids and dynamic modelling.

Torreones de Valdivia: Vestigios de la ciudad amurallada
Authors: Liewald-Dessy Lorena
Published: February 2019

La ciudad de Valdivia se transformó, tras su refundación en 1647, en una ciudad amurallada. Durante los siglos XVII y XVIII, se estructuró un proceso que tuvo el objetivo, en forma permanente, de perfeccionar la muralla o cerco. Lo anterior debido a condiciones climáticas y geográficas así como también por los requerimientos propios de la ingeniería militar. Como parte de ese proceso se levantaron dos torreones en el último cuarto del siglo XVIII, pues se consideraba necesario fortalecer dos puntos considerados estratégicos y vulnerables de la ciudad. Con ello, se pretendía no solo proteger a la población, sino también consolidar el avance hacia zonas que aún se encontraban bajo dominio mapuche-huilliche. Durante la segunda década del siglo XX, ambos torreones fueron declarados Monumento Histórico. Se trata de dos postales que identifican a la ciudad, actualmente sin vínculo con el contenido y el sentido para el cual fueron edificadas.

El presente artículo aborda el proceso de configuración y construcción del primer hospital psiquiátrico moderno del Perú. Se centra en las acciones ejercidas por los médicos, ingenieros y arquitectos que participaron en dicho proyecto. El periodo de estudio abarca desde 1896, cuando el Ministerio de Fomento convocó a un concurso para la edificación de una Casa de Insanos que reemplace al Manicomio del Cercado, y finaliza en 1918, con la inauguración del Asilo Colonia de la Magdalena u Hospital Víctor Larco Herrera. El artículo está dividido en dos partes. En la primera sección se describe la importancia que tuvo el profesional técnico y médico en el proceso de modernización de fines del siglo XIX e inicios del XX. Además, se describe el rol desempeñado por el Ministerio de Fomento y la Sociedad de Beneficencia de Lima en ese proceso. Por último, se señalan las características del proyecto ganador del concurso anteriormente mencionado. En la segunda sección se analiza el proceso de construcción del Manicomio General, prestando atención al diálogo entre los agentes participantes (ingenieros, arquitectos y médicos).
Impacto del programa de la Cooperación Española sobre puesta en valor del patrimonio en el Centro Histórico de Lima (1990-2013)
Authors: Melgar Montes Jarim
Published: February 2019

En la década de 1990, se vivió en Perú una crisis nacional producto de la violencia en el país y el decrecimiento de la economía. Es en este contexto que el programa Patrimonio para el Desarrollo de la Cooperación Española inició sus labores en el Centro Histórico de Lima. En un panorama en el que la prioridad no es la intervención en bienes culturales, surgió un proyecto que busca suplir diferentes necesidades en la sociedad a través de la puesta en valor del patrimonio. Por medio del proceso de recuperación se intentó instruir a las personas en el oficio del restauro, para que luego puedan integrar al proyecto. El programa entonces tenía como objetivo la recuperación del patrimonio, y con la creación de la Escuela Taller de Lima se esperaba capacitar a la población para realizar los trabajos de restauración y conservación. Al introducir la Escuela Taller como parte del programa se incluyeron la dimensión social y la económica en una relación bilateral entre Perú y España que antes fue mayoritariamente de carácter cultural.

Objective: The objective of the present research work had been made to evaluate the antioxidant potential along with anti-cancer activity of methanolic extracts from the leaf of A. marmelos.

Methods: Standard methods for antioxidant potential in terms of DPPH and nitric oxide scavenging assay, and anticancer activity in vitro method (Cytotoxicity/MTT assay and % of cell viability) by using MCF7 cell line.

Results: Results of antioxidant efficacy revealed that the IC50 value for DPPH and nitric oxide scavenging assay was considered to be 62.032%, and 20.69% respectively. The methanolic extract of A. marmelos was found to possess enhanced anticancer potential against MCF7 cells. Cytotoxicity activity of MCF7 cells, when treated with methanolic extract of A. marmelos, was found to be 43.42% at 25µg, 52.31% at 50µg, 56.31% at 75µg, 58.38% at 100µg, 62.25% at 125µg. The IC50 value was found as 49.36µg. Toxicity was significantly increased with increased concentration and viability significantly decreased with the increased concentration of methanolic extract of leaf from A. marmelos for MCF7 cell when compared to cyclophosphamide.

Conclusion: From the studies, it was postulated that methanolic extract of leaf from A. marmeloshas significant chemopreventive activity. These specific identities will be useful for the identification and authentication of raw drug.
