Animals in Assamese Neo-Vaiṣṇavism of India
Authors: Borgohain Ivy
Published: March 2023

Ethical and theological concern for nonhuman animals has been a primary characteristic of the neo-Vaiṣṇava movement of Assam, India. This concern is reflected in its strict prohibition of blood sacrifice or any kind of cruelty toward animals. At the same time, theologically, this faith puts all living beings, human and nonhuman, on an equal ontological footing and urges its followers to see God in all creatures. The present article looks at some of these concerns/considerations of this faith for nonhuman animals and, at the same time, also takes into account neo-Vaiṣṇavism's historical backdrop and a few of its inner contradictions.
Frances Power Cobbe and the Philosophy of Antivivisection
Authors: Stone Alison
Published: March 2023

Frances Power Cobbe led the Victorian movement against vivisection. Cobbe is often remembered for her animal welfare campaigning, but it is rarely recognized that she approached animal welfare as a moral philosopher. In this article, I examine the philosophical basis of Cobbe's antivivisectionism. I concentrate on her 1875 article “The Moral Aspects of Vivisection,” in which Cobbe first locates vivisection within the historical movement of Western civilization and the tendency for science to supersede religion and then endeavors to refute the defenses of vivisection one by one. I emphasize the philosophical considerations that led Cobbe to oppose animal experimentation on a reasoned basis.
Ethical Veganism as Moral Phenomenology: Engaging Buddhism with Animal Ethics
Authors: Simonds Colin H.
Published: March 2023

This article puts Buddhist moral phenomenology in dialogue with ethical veganism to propose a new way of thinking about animal ethics. It first defines ethical veganism and outlines Buddhist moral phenomenology before articulating what a moral phenomenological approach to ethical veganism looks like. It then provides some examples of this approach to ethical veganism in both Tibetan and Western settings to demonstrate its viability. It concludes by thinking through some of the implications of a moral phenomenological approach to ethical veganism and argues that moral phenomenology is an exemplary mode of understanding and establishing ethical veganism.
Morality and Meat in the Middle Ages and Beyond
Authors: D'anca Christene
Published: March 2023

Food is intimately associated with the body, and what a person chooses to consume can easily be used to craft one's identity. Food brings people together, in much the same way as culinary preferences can divide. As veganism is gaining traction around the world, this article examines its origins in religious practices, philosophy, literature, and economic trade within the Middle Ages, elucidating how contemporary decisions to abstain from animal consumption mirror medieval ones and further how similar obstacles to this lifestyle exist today.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence that personalized, gamified, and PDF electronic reading practices have on the attitudes which fifth-grade students possess toward e-reading experiences, as well as how these stances affect the students' motivation and reading comprehension while they are learning English as a second/foreign language (EFL). For the purpose of the study, there were a total of 84 fifth-grade kids from public schools in Greece, who participated. These students were split up into three different experimental groups and a control one. Participants in the experimental groups read throughout the treatment period according to a preset schedule using one of three diverse electronic reading formats (PDF, gamified, or customized), whilst participants in the control group read utilizing a paper guided reading plan. The participants' experiences playing video games online were analyzed via a technique called the quasi-experimental approach. According to the findings of the research, the experimental group and the control group did not significantly vary from one another in terms of their levels of reading comprehension. On the other hand, in comparison to the participants in the control group, those who took part in the experiments reported having more favorable sentiments regarding their electronic reading experiences and were more inspired to read. As indicated from the research findings, kids may experience an increase in their desire to read when they use electronic gadgets. This study has implications for educators and policymakers as they consider incorporating digital reading practices into their teaching methods, particularly when it comes to improving students' motivation to read.
Vocabulary Index as a Sustainable Resource for Teaching Extended Writing in the Post-Pandemic Era
Authors: Lun Wong Wei , Muhammad Mazura Mastura , Mihat Warid , Ya Shak Muhammad Syafiq , Rahman Mairas Abdul , Prihantoro Prihantoro
Published: March 2023

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Malaysian English teachers identified a pressing need to support upper primary school pupils, particularly those in the upper levels, in the effective composition of extended writing. Additionally, these educators required more innovative methodologies for teaching vocabulary in this context. Consequently, the current study aimed to develop a vocabulary index as a suggested resource for Malaysian English teachers instructing upper primary school pupils on extended writing. To achieve this, a quantitative computational research strategy and corpus-driven research design were employed. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 560 advanced upper primary school pupils from 28 schools, each with high English performance in the capital of each state and the federal territory of Malaysia, who produced a total of 152,187 words in extended writing for analysis. LancsBox, a primary computational linguistics application, was used for data processing. Given that the vocabulary index for extended writing necessitates a more comprehensive coverage of vocabulary, functional and content words were included, and keywords, raw and normalised frequencies were analysed and reported. Through the vocabulary index built in this study, the researchers found English teachers in Malaysia should utilise local issues in writing prompts, emphasise the use of both positive and negative adjectives, introduce complex sentence structures to enhance pupils’ writing abilities and also train pupils to organise the ideas in their writing. Future linguistic studies could replicate the present investigation, so that it can respond to their classroom needs.
The Role of L2 Input in the Acquisition of English Non-Pleonastic Constructions to Reset L1 Parameters by Saudi Arabic Speakers
Authors: Kabli Hanan Mohammed
Published: March 2023

This study examines the acquisition of non-pleonastic English constructions by first-language (L1) Saudi Arabic speakers in second language (L2) English comprising two types of pleonasm: acronym pleonasms and semantics pleonasms. It is known that Arabic speakers tend to use redundant expressions in their native language to emphasize their ideas or clarify foreign terms. This study focuses on whether advanced Saudi Arabic speakers can reset their L1 parameters in the final state of English non-pleonastic construction acquisition. The acceptability judgment task was devised to elicit participants’ judgments on these two types of pleonasms. Two groups joined the study: advanced Saudi Arabic speakers as the experiment group (n=40) and native English speakers as the control group (n=32). The experiment’s results suggested that the advanced Saudi Arabic speakers failed to reset the L1 parameters in their judgments on acronym pleonasms. However, the findings showed the Saudi Arabic speakers’ performance resembled that of the native English speakers with respect to semantics pleonasms. This study reveals that Saudi native speakers transfer their L1 properties in their L2 acquisition and fail to access UG to restructure their grammar because they lack extensive exposure to the L2 input of these constructions. The study supports the full transfer hypothesis in the acquisition of L2 constructions. In conclusion, this study provides valuable recommendations to the educational system in Saudi Arabia for implementing these constructions in curricula to enhance L2 input.

Published: March 2023

This study sought to determine common complications and the rates of readmission and revision in total hip arthroplasty patients younger than 65 years. Using the American Joint Replacement Registry, we conducted a retrospective review of all THAs in patients aged 18 to 65 years from 2012 to 2020. We excluded patients aged older than 65 years, revisions, oncologic etiology, conversion from prior surgery, and nonelective cases. Primary outcomes included cumulative revision rate, 90-day readmission rate, and reason for revision. The Kaplan-Meier method and univariate analysis were used. Five thousand one hundred fifty-three patients were included. The average age was 56.7 years (SD 7.8 years), 51% were female, 85% were White, and 89% had a Charlson Comorbidity Index of 0 (1 = 7%, >2 = 4%). The mean follow-up was 39.57 months. Fifty-three patients (1.0%) underwent revision. Seventy-four patients (1.4%) were readmitted within 90 days. Revision was more common in Black patients (P = 0.023). Survivorship was 99% (95% confidence interval, 98.7 to 99.3) and 99% (95% confidence interval, 98.5 to 99.3) at 5 and 8 years, respectively. Infection (21%), instability (15%), periprosthetic fracture (15%), and aseptic loosening (9%) were the most common indications for revision. Total hip arthroplasty performed in young and presumed active patients had a 99% survivorship at 8 years. A long-term follow-up is needed to evaluate survival trends in this growing population.

Published: March 2023

En el estado de Guerrero, la región Costa Grande, se localiza en el trópico subhúmedo mexicano; lugar donde la ganadería ovina es importante para el sector agropecuario de esta región del país. Sin embargo, algunos factores de riesgo que favorecen la infestación por parasitosis gastrointestinales en ovinos son los ambientales, de manejo y medicina preventiva (González-Garduño et al., 2011). Los principales parásitos en ovinos en regiones tropicales son los nematodos como: Haemonchus contortus, Cooperia curticei, Trichostongylus colubriformis, Strongyloides papillosus, Bunostomum trigonocephallum, Oesophagostomum columbianum, y Trichuris ovis (Ponce-Covarrubias et al., 2022). Estos factores afectan fuertemente la salud y bienestar animal, pues son causantes de pérdidas económicas para el ovinocultor local. En efecto, las ovejas independientemente de su estado fisiológico son afectadas en su productividad y salud, ya que se observa una disminución del peso, condición corporal y problemas de anemia (Can-Celis et al., 2020).

Frames, Incentives, and Education: Effectiveness of Interventions to Delay Public Pension Claiming
Authors: Glenzer Franca , Michaud Pierre-Carl , Staubli Stefan
Published: March 2023

Many near-retirees forgo a higher stream of public pension income by claiming early. We provide both quasi-experimental and survey-experimental evidence that the timing of public pension claiming is relatively inelastic to changes in financial incentives in Canada. Using the survey experiment, we evaluate the effect of two different educational interventions and different ways of framing the incentive to delay claiming. While all three types of interventions induce delays, these interventions have heterogeneous financial consequences for participants who react
Itinéraires de militantes et militants d'origine chrétienne dans les années 68 en Suisse romande
Authors: Descloux Gilles
Published: March 2023

Parmi les militant-e-s qui ont participé aux mouvements sociaux des années 68 figurent des prêtres, pasteurs et laïcs. Un peu partout en Suisse romande, ces protestants et catholiques ont contesté la manière dont l'institution religieuse - à travers ses pratiques, sa théologie, ses discours et souvent son silence - contribue à reproduire les inégalités et les injustices dans le monde. Ces chrétiens d'origine se politisent à la fois au contact de groupes et mouvements protestants, catholiques ou œcuméniques promouvant une lecture militante de l’Évangile, et à travers la participation aux mobilisations et organisations militantes qui caractérisent les années 68. Cet ouvrage explore les itinéraires de ces militant-e-s d'origine chrétienne. A travers une série de portraits contextualisés, il dévoile les matrices de politisation et la diversité des carrières militantes de ces individus. Il ajoute ainsi une pièce à la reconstitution de la configuration militante des années 68.

Predicting Secondary School Students’ 21st-Century Skills Through Their Digital Literacy and Problem-Solving Skills
Authors: ÖZEREN Ender
Published: March 2023

The research aims to determine whether secondary school students’ digital literacy and problem-solving skills predict 21st-century skills. It is a correlational survey study. The population of the research is the students studying in secondary schools in formal education institutions in Elazig. The sample of the research is 490 secondary school students determined by the disproportionate cluster sampling method. Data collection tools in the research are demographic information form, digital literacy scale, problem-solving inventory for primary school children, and 21st-century skill scale. The research makes use of parametric tests for the analysis of the data as the data fulfill the normal distribution condition. The results show that while the digital literacy and 21st-century skill levels of secondary school students are not very high, their problem-solving skills are high. The results also show that the problem-solving and 21st-century skill levels of secondary school students differ significantly by gender, and mother and father’s education level while there is no significant difference between secondary school students’ digital literacy levels by their father’s education level. The results of the research also show that there is a positive and moderately significant relationship between the problem-solving skills of secondary school students and their digital literacy levels. The results also indicate that there is a significant relationship between the communication sub-dimension of secondary school students’ 21st-century skills and digital literacy levels, and between the “confidence in problem-solving skills” and “avoidance” sub-dimensions of problem-solving skills. While the significant relationships identified are negative in the avoidance sub-dimension, they are positive in other dimensions. The results show that digital literacy and problem-solving skills do not significantly predict secondary school students’ 21st-century skill levels. However, secondary school students’ 21st-century skill and problem-solving skill levels significantly predict their digital literacy level.

Newcomer Integration in Online Knowledge Building Communities: Automated Dialogue Analysis in Integrative vs. Non-Integrative Blogger Communities
Authors: Nistor Nicolae , Chiru Costin-Gabriel , Bresser Nicolas
Published: March 2023

Online knowledge building communities (OKBC) reunite participants engaged in collaborative discourse. OKBCs can be made „smart“ by adding tools that predict how likely an OKBC is to integrate newcomers in existing dialogues and socio-cognitive structures. Starting from Bakhtin’s dialogical approach and polyphony theory, and building on the concept of inter-animation of voices, this study explores the relationship between newcomer integration and dialogue quality in OKBCs. The automated analysis tool “Important Moments” was employed to compare two dialogues, from an integrative and from a non-integrative blog-based OKBC. In the former, the concepts, lexical chains and inter-animation moments occurred more frequently than in the latter. Also, newcomer comments were linked to less lexical chains in the integrative community than in the non-integrative OKBC. These findings suggest close relationships between dialogue quality and newcomer integration, which can be used for designing smart OKBCs.
Control de riesgo en fusión y adquisición transfronteriza de las empresas chinas en los países participantes de la franja y la ruta: basado en el caso de mina de cobre toromocho
Authors: Leyuan Yang
Published: March 2023

Con el propuesto de la iniciativa la Franja y la Ruta, se inició una nueva época de la fusión y adquisición transfronterizas de las compañías chinas. Actualmente se observan pocos estudios de caso sobre los riesgos y las medidas correspondientes durante las fusiones y adquisiciones en los Estados Partes de dicha iniciativa, y todavía no se han estudiado sus características. Este estudio se enfoca en el caso de adquisición por parte del Grupo de Chinalco de la mina de cobre Toromocho y efectúa un análisis de semejantes proyectos con punto de vista de control de riesgo. Se observa que dicho proyecto de adquisición sufrió enormes riesgos con respecto a situación financiera, relación comunitaria, desempeño ambiental y modelo administrativo. Con miras a disminuir los riesgos, el estudio opina que la parte de adquisición ha de tomar medidas como perfeccionar la investigación preliminar, arreglar debidamente la negociación con sindicatos, adaptarse a las leyes concernientes del país destino y constituir localizado grupo administrativo. El artículo complementa los estudios actuales al respecto del control de riesgos durante fusiones y adquisiciones transfronterizas, proporcionar ayuda a las empresas chinas que tienen disposiciones a realizar dichos proyectos en los países participantes de la Franja y la Ruta.

Authors: Kavut İdris , Uğur Mehmet , Tanrıkut Özgür Ozan
Published: March 2023

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of different polishing methods on the surface roughness of temporary prosthetic restorations.
Methodology: In this study, 200 specimens were obtained from Structur 2, Imident, FSM Duo CAD, and Han Temp Crown. All specimens were sanded with 400-, 800-, and 1000-grit silicon carbide. Next, the specimens were divided into five subgroups (n = 10). The specimens in first group were sanded with 1200-, 1600-, and 2000-grit silicon carbide sandpaper. The second group was polished with an aluminum oxide-containing disc. The third group was polished with a diamond-containing pad. A glaze bond was applied to the specimens in the fourth group. The fifth group was glazed with a coat of nano-filled resin. Then, the surface roughness of all specimens was measured with a profilometer. A two-way ANOVA test was performed using SPSS 20.0. Finally, the microstructures of the surfaces were examined by a scanning electron microscope at 5000× magnification.
Results: Statistically significant results were obtained between the temporary materials and polishing methods in terms of surface roughness (p < 0.05). For the polishing method, the highest surface roughness values were observed in the control group (0.50 ± 0.15). The lowest surface roughness values were observed in the Equia Forte GC coat group (0.25 ± 0.10). Among the temporary crown materials, the highest roughness was observed in Imicryl specimens. (0.45 ± 0.17), while the least roughness was the polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) specimens (0.17 ± 0.10).
Conclusion: Surface polishing and finishing procedures might positively affect the surface roughness of temporary materials. Furthermore, materials made via computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) demonstrate structural advantages and may be preferable.

Climate change and vegetable crops cultivation: A review
Authors: KUMARI MEENA , VERMA S C , SHWETA SHWETA
Published: March 2023

Global warming and climate change is the greatest concern of mankind in the 21st century. The established commercial varieties of fruits, vegetables and flowers will perform poorly in an unpredictable manner due to aberration of climate. Commercial production of horticultural plants particularly grown under open field conditions will be severely affected. Vegetables are an important component of human diet as they are the only source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. They are also good remunerative to the farmer as they fetch higher price in the market. Likewise other crops they are also being hit by the consequences of climate change such as global warming, changes in seasonal and monsoon pattern and biotic and abiotic factors. Under changing climatic situations, crop failures, shortage of yields, reduction in quality and increasing pest and disease problems are common and they render the vegetable cultivation unprofitable. Various physiological processes and enzymatic activities are temperature dependent, hence forth they are going to be largely effected. Drought and salinity are the two important consequences of increase in temperature worsening vegetable cultivation. Increase in CO2 may increase crop yields due to increased CO2 fertilization, but decreases after some extent. Anthropogenic air pollutants such as CO2 , CH4 and CFC's are contributing to the global warming and dioxides of nitrogen and sulphur are causing depletion of ozone layer and permitting the entry of harmful UV rays. These effects of climate change also influence the pest and disease occurrences, host-pathogen interactions, distribution and ecology of insects, time of appearance, migration to new places and their overwintering capacity, there by becoming major setback to vegetable cultivation.
Concept, status and impact of foodgrain banking in Indian villages: A review
Authors: CHAKRAVORTY SARBASIS , JOSHI PRATIBHA , GILLS RESHMA , SHARMA J P , SHARMA NISHI
Published: March 2023

Utilization and distribution of foodgrain always remain as an un-ending riddle to the policy makers and administrators despite surplus in foodgrain production in an agriculture dominated economy. At one hand, glut in market leads to distress sale by the debt-ridden farmers and consequent disinterest in farming among village youth in long run; on the other hand rural societies in difficult terrain faces regular cycle of seasonal hunger due to climate, crop and infrastructure related reasons. The time has come to think beyond the overburdened public distribution system to channelize the surplus produce properly since more than 20 million tonnes of grains produced are destroyed annually due to improper transport, inadequate storage facilities both in institutionalized sector as well as farmers' home. Grain banking is a remedy to the food loss and food insecurity, is mostly applied for tribal areas and difficult terrain with high seasonality of agriculture and harsh climate. It has been successfully applied in Odisha, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand, where community managed grain banks with set rules and norms provide the needy with grain, who in turn returns it through cash or kind. Clusters all over the country could be conceptualized with grain banks in glut region and the nearest starved region exchanging food and that may be hoped to reduce distress sale, wastage and hunger. Present paper is an attempt to review the grain bank concept implemented in India, its pros and cons along with the strategies for scaling up.
Productivity and economics of different cropping systems in relation to tillage, mulching and fertilizer management practices in north-western Indo-Gangetic Plains of India
Authors: MAL TODAR , WALIA S S , SAINI K S
Published: March 2023

Diversification and intensification of existing rice-wheat cropping system in north-west Indo-Gangetic Plains with suitable resource conserving practices is the key answer for increasing profitability. Keeping this in view, a field experiment was conducted at Ludhiana during 2014-15 and 2015-16 to study the effect of tillage, mulching and fertilizer management practices on productivity and economics of different cropping systems. The results showed that minimum tillage produced significantly higher economic yield of maize (Zea mays L.) (42.98 and 44.86 q/ha), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (47.57 and 48.30 q/ha), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) (252.42 and 254.93 /ha), vegetable pea (Pisum sativum L.) (132.42 and 137.08 q/ha) and spring maize (64.88 and 66.55 q/ha). Significantly higher maize equivalent yield (4.6 and 3.5%), higher net returns (Rupees 153445 and 170803/ha) and B:C (1.33 and 1.43) was obtained under minimum tillage than conventional tillage. The productivity of maize-based cropping systems was significantly higher than conventional rice-wheat cropping systems. Maize-vegetable pea-spring maize produced 119 and 137% higher MGEY and higher net returns (Rupees 218738 and 259235/ha), while maize-potato-spring maize showed 82 and 74% higher MGEY over rice-wheat cropping systems. Organic manures (FYM) in conjugation with inorganic fertilizers (75% RDF + 25% N through FYM) resulted in comparable MGEY with inorganic fertilizer (100% RDF). Application of mulch along with fertilizer treatments resulted in significantly higher MGEY as compared to fertilizer treatments without mulch. Gross returns were higher under mulch with fertilizer treatments, while the B:C ratio under mulch with fertilizer treatments was less as compared to fertilizer treatments without mulch.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers supplemented with biofertilizers (Azotobacter and Microphos) on growth parameters of apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Oregon Spur) for three years (2012 to 2014) in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The pooled data of three years revealed that, maximum fruit number (127/plant), fruit weight (113 g), yield/plant (14.5 kg), yield/ha (23.2 tonnes) and production efficiency (117g/cm2 TCSA) were recorded in treatment received 75% of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + 25% N through FYM + Microphos while minimum was recorded in control. The percentage increase in trunk cross section area during the three years of experiment was maximum 17.5% and 16.8% with application of 75% of RDF + 25% N through FYM + Microphos and Azotobacter, respectively, while minimum (8.0%) in control. Among the INM, treatment comprising 75% of RDF + FYM and biofertilizers (either Azotobacter or Microphos) was found significantly superior over rest of the treatments in-terms of improving soil health parameter, viz. dehydrogenase activity, organic carbon, available NPK and DTPA-Zn. Overall, study reveals that, through application of 75% of RDF + FYM and biofertilizers double the productivity of apple, which can gain the momentum of apple production in Kashmir valley of India with quality produce and maximize economic benefits to farmers.

Weeding is carried out by women farm workers with hand tools and most of these tools are operated in squatting or bending posture. These tools are essentially designed for male farm workers. One of the common hand tool used for weeding is wheel hoe. Therefore, ergonomic assessments of an existing wheel hoe and design modification were done to make it compatible for women workers. The wheel hoe was ergonomically evaluated for physiological and postural parameters. Mismatches were observed between required energy and sustainable energy output and between tool dimensions and anthropometric measurements of female operators. Based on the ergonomic evaluation the hoe was modified with two blade sizes and three handle widths .The modified wheel hoes were re-evaluated. Working with an existing wheel hoe was categorized as â€œheavy workâ€ with â€œhigherâ€ overall discomfort. Heart rate, oxygen consumption and energy expenditure were lowest for modified weeder (10%-440mm) and the work classification improved to â€œmoderate categoryâ€. The resting period with the modified hoe reduced from 33.4 min to 20.7 min for one hour work cycle. With change in handle dimensions shoulder, elbow and wrist deviation were close to the natural range of motion. The body part discomfort score and overall discomfort score also reduced from 31 and 2.5 respectively to 18 and 1.5 for modified weeder (10%-440mm). Women workers found the modified hoe with 10% blade dimension and handle width 440mm, very comfortable to use. Modifications in the existing wheel hoe according to anthropometric parameters of female workers reduced energy consumption, body deviations and rest pause between work cycles and thus enhanced work output.

Attitude is a behavioural construct that cannot be measured by a single variable, hence the need for developing a standardized instrument for its measurement. The present study has been conducted to develop a reliable and valid instrument for exploration of farmers’ attitudinal orientation towards Precision Conservation Agricultural Practices (PCAPs). PCAPs are technologies and practices that are capable of helping farmers to apply right resources at the right place, at the right time, with a right method. The combination of these technologies and practices can help in achieving optimum resource stewardship and resource conservation at the farmers’ field. However, the attitude of farmers’ may influence the uptake of these practices at farmers’ field. A step by step procedure of developing standardized attitude scale was followed using Likert’s summated rating approach. The steps include item collection, relevancy test, item analysis, reliability test as well as validity test. Finally, thirty items were selected for the attitude scale which were found reliable at Spearman Brown coefficient of 0.75 and satisfied content validity. The attitude scale may be useful for researchers and extension functionaries in the field of Precision Conservation Agriculture (PCA) as well as climate smart agriculture (CSA).
Analysis of human reliability in accidents and incidents in a chemical industry
Authors: Bastos Bruna Moura
Published: March 2023

Human Reliability has increased its space in environments where processes have a higher level of danger and among them are the chemical industries. In these industries, the periods in which maintenance interventions occur to guarantee the reliability of the equipment and operational continuity are recurrent. During interventions, the pace at which activities are carried out becomes faster, in addition to having a greater turnover of people performing the services. Therefore, this whole scenario makes the work environment more vulnerable to risks and it is the moment when risk analysis methodologies occupy a strategic place. To acquire greater support in carrying out the activities, maintenance procedures are elaborated, however, studies show that these are often unknown and/or misused. In this sense, this study aims to understand the importance of using the human factor approach in ensuring safe work environments, analyzing Human Reliability through the PUMA methodology, and associating with concepts such as psychological safety, the role of leadership and Communication. In addition, the study analyzes the root cause of some accidents and incidents that have occurred, using some methodologies such as the Cause Tree and associating them with concepts considered important for Human Reliability.
The patriarchal framework of social work
Authors: Landeros Martha Gálvez
Published: March 2023

Social Work, from its origins, has implicitly the purpose of "helping...", an intention recreated in assistance itself. Historically, those who have produced and reproduced, thought, and practiced this profession, are Women. However, more than 60 years after its professionalization in Mexico, atavisms remain that define the very praxis of Social Work. The objective of this article is to make visible symbolic elements that, embedded in the patriarchal ideology, guide the practice of Social Workers in Mexican Public Institutions. The data discussed is the result of qualitative research carried out with 20 Social Workers, as a sample, in the State of Jalisco. Mexico. In-depth interviews and content analysis combined with the interpretive (hermeneutical) method constituted the sequence to produce the data and interpret it. Three dimensions of analysis were established: the past time; self-image and plans-expectations of the profession. The conclusions outline both symbolic elements and those contained in the very praxis of the interviewed professionals.
Would there be marxist human rights?
Authors: Brasil Guilherme Maciulevicius Mungo , Urquiza Antonio Hilario Aguilera
Published: March 2023

The relationship between human rights and Marxism is controversial since Marx was not concerned with theorizing the legal phenomenon or the philosophy of law. Therefore, in Marxist theory, the eradication of human rights in the ideal communist society is defended against the taking of human rights as a space of political struggle against hegemonic power. From these questions comes the research problem: to what extent is it possible to validly relate human rights and Marxism? The hypothesis is that legal pluralism, as a current that denies the monopoly of law by the State and recognizes the coexistence between an oppressive official law and an unofficial law of the oppressed, is aligned with Marxist premises. With the use of bibliographic and descriptive research, using the deductive method, this work initially describes the bases of Marxist thought applied to law and, in a second moment, analyzes to what extent Marxist thought is related to the pluralism aspect. legal. The result achieved is that, for the emancipatory struggles of the oppressed to have space, an alternative normativity of human rights is effectively necessary, based on forms of informal and unofficial law, guided by concrete political actions of social transformation.

Despite the important findings related to the tropism of the virus by the pancreas and the severity of these repercussions among patients, it is still unclear in the literature which are the main changes and diagnoses commonly found in patients with COVID-19 with pancreatic symptoms. METHODOLOGY: This is an integrative literature review, conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. The review was conducted in the Pubmed, VHL, and Elsevier databases. Studies conducted with adults of both sexes were included and reviews, research editorials, letters to the reader, or editorial comments were excluded. The search and selection process was conducted by peers. RESULTS: Of 131 studies identified only 07 were included. There was a predominance of descriptive studies with non-probability sample variability. The main gastrointestinal symptoms reported were abdominal pain (localized in the right iliac fossa and/or diffuse), nausea, vomiting (of non-biliary nature), and/or diarrhea. From the pancreatic repercussions, it was noticed the presence of acute pancreatitis was in about 24% of the studies included in the review, and it was seen that these patients needed oxygen, through mechanical ventilation or nasal catheter. CONCLUSION patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, showed changes at the pancreatic level, had elevated serum lipase and the minority cited increased amylase, and some had the outcome of pancreatitis. However, research is still inconclusive and lacking in information on the subject, which makes further studies in the area necessary.
