Street-level drug law enforcement: An updated systematic review
Authors: Mazerolle Lorraine , Eggins Elizabeth
Published: July 2021

The Global Policing Database is used to update a 2007 systematic review of the impact of street-level law enforcement interventions on drug crime and drug-related calls-for-service. A total of 26 studies (reported in 29 documents) were eligible for this updated review. Eighteen of the 26 studies reported sufficient data to calculate effect sizes. We find that, overall, street-level policing approaches are effective in reducing drug crime, particularly those involving partnerships. We also find that geographically targeted law enforcement interventions are more effective in reducing drug crime than standard, unfocused approaches. Approaches that target larger problem areas for intervention are more effective for reducing drug crime (but not calls-for-service) than approaches that focus on micro problem places.

Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an acute infection of otherwise sterile ascitic fluid in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis. Gram negative bacteria are considered the main causative microorganisms of SBP. However, widespread use of antibiotics in cirrhotic patients has changed the microbial spectrum and the sensitivity patterns. Aim: To determine the frequency of different microorganisms and their sensitivity patterns in ascitic fluid of cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and to see the impact of age, gender and duration of SBP on these patterns. Study design and duration: It was a prospective observational study conducted at Fatima Memorial Hospital, Lahore from December 2015 to December 2016. Methods: A total of 200 patients with clinical suspicion of SBP were enrolled in the study. Ascitic fluid sample was obtained within 6 hours of hospitalization and was sent to hospital laboratory. Culture reports were reviewed to determine the frequency of different microorganism as well as their sensitivity patterns to different antibiotics. Results: Out of 200 patients, the culture was positive in 113(56.53%) patients. Escherichia coli was seen in 35 (31.2%) patients, Acinobacter Spp was present in 18 (15.3%), Streptococcus in 15 (13.4%), Enterococcus in 14 (12.1%), Staphylococcus aureus in 13 (11.4%), MRSA in 12 (10.8%), and K. Pneumonia in 6 (5.7%) patients. Ceftazidime was sensitive in 73 (64.9%) cases, Cefotaxime was sensitive in 55 (49%), Ceftriaxone was sensitive in 50 (43.9%), Ciprofloxacin was sensitive in 49 (43.3%), Amikacin was sensitive in 36 (31.8%) Conclusion: The most frequent organism in ascitic fluid of SBP patients was E Coli, and the most sensitive antibiotic was ceftazidime.

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Aim: To compare the outcomes of prophylactic versus selective antibiotics in term newborns born after PROM > 18 hours in terms of neonatal sepsis and resistance of neonatal. Study design: Randomized controlled trial. Methodology: This study enrolled (n=120) asymptomatic term (37+ weeks) babies of either gender with PROM > 18 hours after ethical review committee’s (ERC) approval. This study held at DHQ Hospital, Rawalpindi-Pakistan in 2019. Data was collected through a structured proforma with informed consent. Data was analyzed by SPSS, v-20. The study outcomes were neonatal sepsis and resistant neonatal flora. Chi-square test was applied with p≤0.05 taken as significant. Results: The neonatal sepsis was diagnosed in 8 (13.3%) and 9(15%) babies in the prophylactic treatment group and the selective treatment group, respectively having statistically insignificant difference (p>0.05). Likewise, resistant neonatal flora between both groups showed statistically insignificant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: We concluded that there was insignificant difference in terms of rates of neonatal sepsis and resistant neonatal flora between two treatment groups. However, there is a need to conduct large sample size, multicentre studies to validate these results before making recommendations for routine treatment of full term babies with PROM >18 hours in our clinical settings.

Authors: Yaseen S. , Ali M. , Mahmood F. , Mudassar S. , Nisar U.
Published: July 2021

Background: Benign as well as malignant neoplasm of breast still appears to be the prime tumour among females and the prevalence of the disease is increasing all over the countries. The likelihood of emergence of breast neoplasm is linked to a number of factors i.e. reproductive life events and the factor of lifestyle that modify levels of endogenous sex hormones. One of most important risk factors is growing old age. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a least traumatic, reliable simple, complication free technique and economical for the diagnosis of mass lesions. It can be easily repeated if an adequate aspirate is not obtained. Aim: To determine the frequency of cytological category of FNAC C5 of breast lesion among different age groups. Study Design: Cross sectional comparative research study Place and Duration of Study: Department of Histopathology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore from 21st January 2016 to 22nd September 2016. Methodology: One hundred and twenty female patients selected who presented with complain of palpable lesion in breast and was correlated with physical examination recording the size and consistency of mass. The procedure was performed on patients with complete clinical and radiological work up. After preparation of direct smear, slides were processed according to routine processing and then stained with H&E and Giemsa. Results: Thirty (25.80%) were between 18-30 age group while 42(35.00%), 47(39.20%) were between 31-45 and 46-60 age groups respectively. Though majority of FNAC cases were found in age group 31–45 but there was no significant difference among three groups by age. Conclusion: Malignancy in palpable breast masses can surely be diagnosed by a combination of clinical examination of breast and FNAC which when performed by a dedicated cytopathologist should be an integral part of a breast screening service. Middle age group had highest frequency but difference was insignificant. Keywords: Fine needle aspiration cytology, Palpable breast lesions, Age groups

Pronunciation is an essential component of communicative competence, yet many EFL learners make pronunciation errors frequently. The English teacher in SMAS Global Madani Bandarlampung stated that students find it difficult to pronounce English words with certain consonants including friction consonants. The objectives of this research were to find out i) pronunciation errors of friction consonants that students made frequently and ii) the factors that influenced the errors. The approach of this research was qualitative. There were 20 students of the second grade chosen randomly. Performance assessment was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using the formula of Measures of Central Tendency. The data were also computed by using SPSS 26.0 for Windows. The result showed that the friction consonants that the students produced frequently were /v/ (31.5%) and /?/ (26%). In addition, the result of the students’ responses showed that the errors were caused by some factors. Those were exposure, first language (L1) background, lack of confidence, and attitude.
APPROACHES BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS
Authors: Andrei Gabriela
Published: July 2021

"In the current context of the existence of life, of the development of human activities, water has a double importance: - environmental factor, generator of ecological systems - “raw material” for certain uses (drinking water, industrial water, fish farming, leisure, etc.) The current problems in the field of water supply are due to: - exponential increase of water demand; - the limited water resources and their uneven distribution, which requires large and expensive works of development and accumulation of water; - deterioration of the quality of water sources, as a result of human activity and the emergence of industries that discharge waste, containing very stable impurities, difficult to remove from water, in the processes of water purification or treatment; - increase in standards on quality conditions that must be met by water delivered to the population [1]. For the extensive and intensive development of water supplies, a concrete solution, already existing in the area of Artificial Intelligence is given by heuristic methods and Evolutionary Calculus. This article provides an overview of the role of the most important metaheuristics, based on evolutionary concepts - Evolutionary computation and behavioral patterns inspired by biology - Swarm calculus) in the case of of water supply systems and their subsystems, with exemplification in the case of a model network (Scheme of the network distribution in Hanoi), taking into account water quality (its treatment with chlorine).

INSTALLATION OF SUBMARINE CABLES IN THE OFFSHORE WIND INDUSTRY AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT
Authors: VASILESCU Valeriu-Florian , DINU Dumitru
Published: July 2021

"This article presents the main methods of installing submarine cables used in the offshore wind industry and the impact they have on the marine environment.
From this article, the reader will be able to understand the basic principles that are taken into account from the design phase of a submarine cable, principles that seek to streamline their installation, operation and maintenance and their impact on the marine environment. Given the scale of the development of the wind industry, especially offshore, the length of submarine cables that provide energy transport from the wind farm to shore consumers is also constantly growing. The construction and operation of offshore wind energy systems has been and continues to be regarded with scepticism by environmental activists. Despite the undeniable benefits of this renewable energy source, the impact on the marine environment must also be taken into consideration.
We studied the most efficient methods of installing submarine cables in the offshore wind industry – study which also includes analysing the behaviour of submarine cables and analysing ships’ movement during cable transport and installation.
This article is only part of a major research on the installation of submarine cables in the offshore wind industry.
In terms of the frequency and relatively short duration of submarine cable installation operations, on a small strip of up to 8m, the disturbances and impact caused by these operations are considered minor and are preferred compared to bottom trawling operations and dredging, which are repetitive and more extensive. A single impact, such as cable burial operations, is preferred to continuous, multiple or recurrent impacts. [1]

Wool quality and daily weight gain in native lambs from the Central Region of Argentina
Authors: Gómez María Bettina , Castillo Melina
Published: July 2021

The ovine population of the central Argentine territory is the result of constant introductions of different animal biotypes, which determined the existence of ovine populations with great variability. The main objective of the breeders is to produce a lamb for self-consumption and sale of surpluses, without considering the wool product. The production of a lamb for the market is compatible with the production of wool for the textile industry, having to evaluate the feasibility for the commercialization of lamb wool that they produce. This work aimed to provide information and tools to evaluate the quality of lamb’s wool and the evolution of the weight of lambs belonging to the native flocks of the area. Characterization of the productive systems was carried out, seeking to highlight the attributes of meat and wool of native lambs. The characteristics of wool and meat lamb product were evaluated under two treatments, either in free rage conditions or lambs supplemented under confinement. The analysis of the behaviour of the productive systems did not show significant differences between lamb biotypes, which allows affirming that the variation within an animal biotype is even more important than the expected one between biotypes. This indicates that both treatments can be used according to the particular situation of each productive unit. Therefore, it is possible to produce wool and meat of outstanding quality looking for the goodness of the wool produced and optimizing through proper handling practices the meat product.

Authors: Holgado Fernando Daniel , Rabasa Alicia E. , Ortega Masague Maria Florencia
Published: July 2021

El bovino Criollo Argentino tiene sus orígenes en el ganado introducido a América por los españoles durante la colonización. Fenotípicamente se caracteriza por la gran diversidad de colores de capa y por su cornamenta, aunque existan además animales sin cuernos. La raza se caracteriza también por su tamaño corporal relativamente chico y una aptitud lechera moderada, por lo que los vientres de cría poseen bajos requerimientos energéticos de mantenimiento y producción. En ambientes nutricionales adversos, el Criollo Argentino posee alta capacidad de respuesta. Se destaca por su fertilidad, facilidad de parto, capacidad de cría, longevidad y resistencia a diferentes factores ambientales, considerándose como una raza especializada en la producción de terneros. Bajo iguales condiciones de producción, el rendimiento carnicero de la res y la calidad de carne producida por animales Criollos es similar al de otras razas bovinas. Este recurso zoogenético es considerado de gran valor, debiendo ser preservado por su variabilidad genética para hacer frente a desafíos productivos actuales y futuros. La utilización de los recursos genéticos es el mejor camino para el mantenimiento de la diversidad de los animales domésticos, y el bovino Criollo Argentino posee excelentes cualidades para mejorar la ganadería vacuna en determinados ambientes o a través de cruzamientos. A nivel país, es importante considerar la definición de estrategias que favorezcan su difusión y utilización.

Published: July 2021

Diante do contexto em que as Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) estão presentes no cenário educacional, percebemos que se torna necessário expandir as discussões acerca da relação educação e tecnologias, bem como, ampliar as pesquisas acerca das ferramentas tecnológicas utilizadas nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Com a utilização das TDIC, surgem novos espaços de ensinar e aprender, consequentemente, novas formas de se relacionar e de comunicação também se desenvolvem, promovidas pela cibercultura. O presente estudo objetiva delinear as concepções teórico-metodológicas da Netnometodologia, enquanto perspectiva de pesquisa para investigações em Ambiente Virtuais de Aprendizagem. A construção teórico-metodológica desta perspectiva de pesquisa se fundamenta nos conceitos da Etnometodologia (COULON, 1995; 2017), bem como nos fundamentos de uma Netnografia adaptada (KOZINETS, 2014; 2002). Ela contempla as interações realizadas no campo on-line, e nos possibilita a compreensão do sentido das ações que os indivíduos realizam nos ambientes virtuais, que é apenas uma fragmentação da cibercultura. Em tempos de Pandemia da Covid-19, reiteramos a importância desse delineamento, sob o olhar da Netnometodologia, que não se limita apenas ao estudo das relações dos indivíduos de comunidades on-line, pois se estende, também, as condições institucionais como influenciadores diretos da pesquisa, de forma a compreender como os sujeitos validam suas práticas no espaço virtual, como utilizam os netnométodos para realizarem suas atividades cotidianas. A construção teórico-metodológica da Netnometodologia sinaliza para o desenvolvimento, também, da realização de pesquisas sobre abordagens, técnicas e instrumentos utilizados em ambientes virtuais, embora já existam propostas de técnicas de coleta de dados virtuais e midiáticos, ainda há necessidade de ampliarmos as discussões e investigações acerca dessas temáticas.

El Coronavirus descubierto en Wuhan, China en el 2019 es de interés mundial por las diferentes manifestaciones clínicas que pueden aparecer en niños. Nuestro objetivo principal es revisar las manifestaciones del COVID-19 en el aparato respiratorio y los hallazgos a nivel radiológicos en pediatría. Se estiman que solo el 5,7% de los niños han sido hospitalizados, siendo los niños con comorbilidades y menores de 1 año los que suponen un riesgo mayor para enfermedad grave. A nivel global la mediana de edad de presentación de los casos es alrededor de 7 años, detectándose más casos a mayor edad, pero siendo la gravedad inversamente proporcional a la edad. La forma asintomática o leve son las presentaciones más comunes reportadas en niños, siendo de hasta en el 90% de los niños infectados. Los estudios de laboratorio pueden ser normales o presentar leucocitos alterados en un 69,2% y a nivel radiológico se ha observado en niños que en un 69% presentan opacidades bilaterales en vidrio despulido. En este momento, cualquier infección respiratoria aguda hay que descartar COVID-19, para poder evitar complicaciones en el paciente.
COVID-19, una perspectiva desde el punto de vista endocrinológico

A fines de diciembre de 2019, la OMS fue notificada de un grupo inusual de casos de neumonía en Wuhan, China. La enfermedad, más tarde denominada COVID-19, se propagó rápidamente más allá de las fronteras de China, y los primeros casos en Europa se registraron el 25 de enero de 2020.  Investigaciones posteriores identificaron un nuevo beta-coronavirus ahora designado como coronavirus 2 del síndrome respiratorio agudo severo (SARS- CoV-2). Actualmente, no hay opciones de tratamiento antiviral con eficacia comprobada, pero varios ensayos controlados aleatorios están investigando agentes como la hidroxicloroquina, lopinavir-ritonavir, favipiravir y remdesivir. Hasta la fecha, los datos sobre COVID-19 en niños y adolescentes siguen siendo escasos, a pesar de que el número de casos confirmados de COVID-19 ahora supera los 16 millones a nivel mundial. Además, los documentos existentes de China contienen muy pocos datos clínicos sobre niños, y la mayoría carece de detalles sobre Medidas de apoyo requeridas por niños con COVID-19. Del mismo modo, los informes epidemiológicos recientes de Europa y América del Norte contienen poca información clínicamente relevante. Determinar el nivel de apoyo requerido por los niños es esencial para la planificación del servicio pediátrico durante la pandemia de COVID-19 en curso.
Ley de embriaguez habitual en Honduras y su relación con el análisis pericial toxicológico
Authors: Pineda Santos Josúe Andrés
Published: July 2021

A pesar que el número de accidentes de tránsito que involucran a conductores ebrios se ha disparado y que los legisladores tienen una gran presión para encontrar una solución razonable a la cuestión de la conducción bajo los efectos del alcohol especialmente en lo que respecta a los límites máximos permitidos, esa relación entre lo jurídico y lo científico, no siempre se concreta. El examen para la determinación de alcohol en muestras biológicas que se realiza en los laboratorios de Toxicología Forense de la Dirección de Medicina Forense fue validado y acreditado. Este proceso de validación permitió observar que el valor referido en la Ley de Penalización de la Embriaguez Habitual señala valores que podrían indicar un error en la aplicación de las unidades y de no ser así, dicho valor no sería significativo en cuanto a la determinación y cuantificación del etanol por la metodología actualmente utilizada en los laboratorios. La importancia del asesoramiento técnico científico para el uso adecuado de unidades y valores de referencia es indispensable para una interpretación objetiva de nuestra legislación y facilita el punto de unión entre la ciencia forense y la ciencia jurídica.

Como educadora feminista por la paz, considero que este volumen está en sintonía con la problemática de la paz de un mundo complejo, rápidamente cambiante. La complejidad y la velocidad del cambio han aumentado exponencialmente desde que los trabajos aquí publicados se presentaron en la Conferencia General de la Asociación Internacional de Investigación para la Paz (IPRA) de 2018. Sin embargo, los editores han enmarcado el volumen de una manera agudamente relevante para los desafíos de 2020 que enfrentan todos los miembros de la comunidad de conocimiento de la paz, investigadores, educadores y activistas. Una pandemia mundial, el resurgimiento de la amenaza nuclear, la intensificación del autoritarismo, los graves fenómenos meteorológicos, las innegables revelaciones de la desigualdad humana, el despojo sistemático y la opresión, sujetos de protesta en todo el mundo, conforman ahora la problemática de la paz. Nunca hemos tenido tanta necesidad de marcos como los que presentan los editores, Hans Günter Brauch y Úrsula Oswald Spring.

El libro titulado La despoblación del mundo rural. Algunas propuestas (prácticas y realistas) desde los ámbitos jurídico, económico y social para tratar de paliar o revertir tan denostado fenómeno, forma parte de la colección Estudios de la prestigiosa editorial española Thomson Reuters Aranzadi. Dirigido y coordinado por el Profesor Doctor Don Fernando García-Moreno Rodríguez, fue publicado en el año 2019 y ya camina por su segunda edición. Esta obra colectiva tiene una extensión aproximada de 600 páginas y en ella han colaborado veinte doctores de diferentes disciplinas de investigación, un hecho que ayuda a trazar el fenómeno de la despoblación desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar. Así, el libro ofrece una visión analítica de las causas del descenso paulatino del número de habitantes del mundo rural en los últimos años, además de describir algunas soluciones concretas y prácticas que, desde los ámbitos de conocimiento sociológico, jurídico y económico, pueden servir para paliar este problema. La finalidad de la obra es, pues, entender qué es lo que está ocurriendo en nuestros pueblos, qué factores amenazan su supervivencia social, histórica, cultural y ambiental y cómo puede frenarse esta situación adversa.
Paz y participación en la disciplina de los Estudios de la Paz y el Conflicto
Authors: Ramos Muslera Esteban
Published: July 2021

Mediante revisión y lectura crítica de parte de la literatura académica existente en la disciplina de los Estudios de la Paz y el Conflicto, en este artículo se analiza la relación que con la participación social establecen las perspectivas de la Paz Negativa, de la Paz Liberal, de la Paz Positiva y de la Paz Imperfecta con respecto a la investigación y la construcción de paz. Como resultado de este análisis, se afirma que la participación ciudadana es considerada por los primeros enfoques como innecesaria, mientras que por los segundos como conveniente pero no imprescindible. Se concluye que limitar la participación social del conjunto de la población se justifica epistemológicamente al considerar a los seres humanos como objetos, o como meros sujetos sujetados a los influjos de fuerzas exteriores que determinan su existencia; y se constata que es el enfoque de la Paz Transformadora el que, trascendiendo tal justificación, considera la participación integral del conjunto de la población una necesidad epistemológica de la disciplina.
La epidemia de viruela en la Alcaldía Mayor de Tegucigalpa año 1815
Authors: Cardona Amaya José Manuel
Published: July 2021

En 1815 una epidemia de viruela ingresó a la Alcaldía Mayor de Tegucigalpa que, a pesar de los esfuerzos de las autoridades por esparcir la vacuna, causó estragos en la población indígena. Al mismo tiempo, en la época lluviosa de ese año, las lluvias fueron menores a lo acostumbrado, provocando el fracaso de las plantaciones, lo que llevó a una escasez de granos y a una hambruna generalizada en el territorio. En este escenario, el Alcalde Mayor Simón Gutiérrez se vio obligado a cobrar el tributo de los pueblos indígenas, maniobrando políticamente la situación para evitar alguna revuelta de la población. La epidemia de viruela y la hambruna ejemplifican la aplicación de política sanitaria en la Honduras colonial, destacando las maneras en que las acciones individuales de los funcionarios eran un ejercicio de administración de la vida de los habitantes de la provincia. De manera similar, en 2020 los intereses políticos y económicos han interferido en la prevención efectiva contra el COVID-19.
Bank Credit Risk Rating Process: Is There a Change With the 2007-09 Crisis?
Authors: Damak Emna
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this article is to study empirically the bank credit risk rating (BCRR) process over time using 89 banks from 27 EMENA countries rated by S&P’s simultaneously before and after 2007-09 crises. We made this comparison based on the CAMELS model with a proposed ‘S’ to BCRR. We use "ordered logit" regression for the rating classes and we complete our analysis by “linear multiple” regression for the rating grades. The results show that the rating changes in 2012 are mainly a methodology revision consequence of the entire rating process changes, including the weight of components, the important factors and the relevant variables in order to take into account some of the lessons learned from this global crisis. They also show a consistence between the BCRR's revealed and practiced methodologies revised by the credit rating agencies (CRAs).
An Investigation on the Status Quo of the Cultural Character Competence of Pre-Service English Teachers from the Perspective of Core Competency
Authors: LI Jian , LUAN Tingting
Published: July 2021

Since the promotion of the New Curriculum Standards, the teaching of English subjects has taken the development of students’ core competency as the specific goal, and attached great importance to the cultivation of the four dimensions of students’ language ability, cultural character, thinking quality and learning ability, among which cultural character has become a focus of recent researches on English teaching. Under the quality education and the educational concept of “people-oriented”, in-service and pre-service English teachers should also have excellent cultural qualities so as to play the role of cultural disseminators. Thus, the present paper aims to understand the status quo of pre-service English teachers’ cultural character competence through questionnaire surveys and interviews, and then analyze the root causes of this situation, and explore effective measures to improve the cultural character competence of pre-service English teachers.
