El sentido de lo público en la gestión territorial de prácticas institucionales con jóvenes matanceros.
Authors: Ferraris Sabrina
Published: January 2022

Las articulaciones entre Estado y sociedad civil en el marco de la gestión de políticas públicas en Argentina han ido variando a lo largo de los diferentes contextos sociohistóricos e institucionales. A principios del siglo XXI se han gestado nuevos canales institucionales de participación ciudadana, como son los Consejos de Niñez y Juventud. Allí se intercambian opiniones entre actores territoriales, así como se elaboran políticas sociales en defensa de los derechos de la niñez y juventud. El artículo se propone abordar la gestión territorial de prácticas institucionales para la inserción sociolaboral de jóvenes, en el Municipio de la Matanza de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. Son prácticas de organizaciones de la sociedad civil que forman parte del Consejo de Niñez y Juventud del Municipio. Cómo se construye “lo público”, lo que es interés (y necesidad) común en esta gestión territorial, es uno de los interrogantes centrales del trabajo. Los datos se obtienen principalmente a partir de entrevistas en profundidad realizadas- entre 2018 y 2019- a referentes y miembros de las organizaciones de la sociedad civil, acerca de sus propias prácticas y experiencias de trabajo con jóvenes, orientadas a la inserción sociolaboral.
La vulnerabilidad sociolaboral de las trabajadoras brasileñas del hogar durante la pandemia del coronavirus: El agravamiento de las injusticias sociales
Authors: Stolz Sheila , Flores Gusmão Carolina
Published: January 2022

El estallido de la pandemia covid-19 en Brasil demostró la situación de marginación en la que se encuentran las trabajadoras del hogar. El país con la mayor población de trabajadoras del hogar del mundo, con aproximadamente 7 millones de personas que realizan este tipo de actividad, no tenía un plan nacional de salud para hacer frente al virus. A pesar de que se han tomado algunas medidas específicas, las trabajadoras domésticas siguen siendo uno de los sectores más afectados en Brasil, tanto desde el punto de vista económico como sanitario. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar, en primer lugar, un panorama de las condiciones de vida y de trabajo de dichas trabajadoras teniendo en cuenta la legislación y la estructura social que involucra el trabajo doméstico en Brasil. Luego, como resultado de la pandemia, se demuestra cómo esta categoría de trabajo se vio particularmente afectada. Considerando que este tipo de trabajo es realizado fundamental y mayoritariamente por mujeres y, en su mayor parte, mujeres negras de las clases sociales más bajas y vulnerables, este estudio se guía por las teorías de la interseccionalidad y la justicia social.

La ética de gobierno en tiempos de pandemia en Argentina
Authors: Saettone Federico Máximo
Published: January 2022

Este artículo analiza la ética de gobierno como una cuestión de control horizontal entre los poderes del Estado. Dicha cuestión es abordada en términos del denominado control parlamentario, que en Argentina está condicionado por el poder del Presidente de la Nación de emitir decretos legislativos en casi todas las materias. Este poder de decreto es estudiado en relación a una polémica modificación de una la ley de vacunas aprobada por el Congreso Nacional en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID-19.
La dificultad contramayoritaria de las burocracias públicas
Authors: Ferraro Agustin E. , Fondevila Gustavo
Published: January 2022

El concepto de dificultad contramayoritaria, aplicado al control de constitucionalidad, describe el problema de justificar que un tribunal declare inválida (inconstitucional) una ley, votada por los representantes de una mayoría de los ciudadanos. ¿Es esto legítimo? En el presente trabajo, analizamos un problema similar respecto a las burocracias públicas, relativamente menos discutido hasta ahora: ¿puede la burocracia pública tomar decisiones que considera justificadas, o tiene que limitarse a implementar las directivas del poder político en todos los casos? El debate se ha planteado con intensidad en México, durante los últimos años, pero afecta a la configuración institucional de otros países en América Latina.
Ética pública y resiliencia democrática
Authors: Hernández Losada José María
Published: January 2022

Partiendo primeramente de una reconsideración de algunas fechas claves de nuestra historia presente (caída del Muro de Berlín, 11-S, Gran Recesión y crisis sanitaria producida por la covid-19), propongo explorar en segundo lugar la relación entre ética y resiliencia, tal y como este último concepto ha sido reintroducido en nuestro vocabulario por una nueva generación de teóricos de las Relaciones Internacionales y los Estudios de Seguridad. La idea es mostrar que la resiliencia debe concebirse como algo más que una capacidad individual para recuperarse del trauma y superar las dificultades, aspectos que podrían exponerla a la crítica de ser un discurso más de la gobernabilidad del nuevo orden neoliberal. En la tradición filosófica, la resiliencia apunta a una ética que resulta especialmente importante para la vida política. Trataré de conectar en tercer y último lugar la idea de resiliencia con la de razón pública, mostrando algunos de sus límites, que hoy se manifiestan en la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación. La resiliencia podría aportar un nuevo ethos para el debate sobre el futuro de la democracia.

Dirbtinis intelektas moterišku kūnu filmuose Ex Machina ir Ji
Authors: Žiūraitė-Pupelė Justina
Published: January 2022

The article explores how artificial intelligence is constructed in a female body and showcases the boundaries between human and technological traits, as well as the relationship between human beings and technology. The article defines the notion of artificial intelligence and discusses how artificial intelligence is portrayed in science fiction films. The article does not attempt to provide new theoretical insights into artificial intelligence but, instead, to show how artificial intelligence is characterised in the context of modern science fiction films. Two contemporary science fiction films, which focus on the artificial intelligence in the female body, are analysed: Alex Garland’s Ex Machina (2014) and Spike Jonze’s Her (2013). The analysis of the films showcases the blurred lines between being a human and being a robot: AI in the female body is portrayed as having adequate cognitive abilities and an ability to experience or to realistically imitate various mental states. The AI embodiment found in the films explores different narratives: the anthropomorphic body (Ex Machina) motivates to get to know the world and thus expands one’s experience, while the partial embodiment (Her) “programs” intellectual actions and development beyond the human body. Ex Machina highlights the anti-humanity of the female robot: another (human) life is devalued in order to pursue a goal. On the contrary, Her highlights the hyper-humanity of the operating system: continuous improvements exceed the boundaries of communication with other people.

An isocratic stability-indicating reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic diode array detection method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of pitavastatin calcium in the presence of its degradation products. The chromatographic separation was achieved on Phenomenex Luna C18 column (250 X 4.0 mm id, 5μm) in the isocratic mode using acetonitrilemethanol- water (35:25:40, v/v/v, pH 3 adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) as mobile phase. The drug is subjected to different accelerated stress conditions and peaks of the degradation products were well resolved from the pure drug, which indicates the specificity and stability-indicating properties of the method. The method was linear (r= 0.9998) over the concentration range of 5-30 μg/mL. The proposed method was used to investigate the degradation kinetics of PTV in acidic condition at different temperatures. Degradation of pitavastatin followed first-order kinetics, and rate constant (k), half life (t1/2), time left for 90% potency (t90) and energy of activation were calculated.

The present study involved the design and development of extended release matrix pellets of azilsartan medoxomil with its solid dispersion (Azil SD). A solid dispersion of azilsartan medoxomil was prepared with a carrier, Hypromallose acetate succinate (Affinisol 716G) by solvent evaporation technique. Extended release matrix pellets were prepared from Azil SD using a combination of polycarbophil, HPMC K4M, MCC and guar gum. AzilSD and the pellets were evaluated for various physicochemical properties such as solubility, drug loading, drug content, surface morphology and swelling behaviourand analysis carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and powder X-ray diffraction. The solubility and dissolution rate of Azil SD was 5.71 and 2.07 times greater, respectively.The optimized batch was selected based on 100% cumulative drug release in 12 hours. Formulation Batch F6 showed 99.19% CDR in 12 hours and drug content 97.89 %. The mechanism of the drug release rate kinetics of the Batch F6 followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas. Thus it can be concluded that Affinisol 716G based solid dispersion mechanism, enhances the solubility and dissolution of azilsartan medoxomil by using polycarbophil and HPMC K4M, forming an effective carrier for developing extended release matrix pellets.

Carbonic anhydrase II is one of the forms of human α carbonic anhydrases which are ubiquitous metalloenzymes that catalyze inter-conversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and proton, overexpression of which leads to disorders such as glaucoma. 2D and 3D Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship studies were carried out on previously synthesized series of sulfanilamide derivatives by VLife MDS software using stepwise variable, multi-linear regression and k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis methods. 2D-QSAR model depicts contribution of halogens (such as chlorine and fluorine), methylene and oxygen atoms to inhibition of human carbonic anhydrases II activity. Using k-nearest neighbor molecular field analysis method two 3D-QSAR models (model A and B) were generated from which model A was found to be the best validated model with q2 (0.9494), pred_r2 (0.7367) and q2 _ se (0.2037). It displayed the fact that the inhibitory action of sulfanilamide derivatives against human carbonic anhydrases II is influenced by hydrophobicity and electro positivity.
An Early Identification of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intervention/Treatment for Children: Two Case Studies
Authors: E Eruslu
Published: January 2022

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder, which has greater implications on vulnerable children than adults and it is therefore crucial to identify signs and symptoms at the earliest opportunity to accommodate for the affected child. Targeted treatment methods, such as social skills training, 1-to-1 tuition, speech therapy and Social Stories and Comic Strip Conversation can then be applied early on, which can then lead to substantial improvements at adulthood. Case studies of two male children, aged 4 and 9 were looked into, to identify their special needs. A potential link between genetic factors and ASD was observed, as the children were related to each other (cousins) and showed similar autistic traits. By applying the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), observing and communicating with the children and family members, there were clear indications for ASD. The importance of a multidisciplinary system has been suggested to support the easier and quicker identification of ASD.
Early Contraceptive Implants Removal and its Associated Factors Among Women Using Implants at a National Referral Hospital, Kampala Uganda
Authors: G Ssebatta
Published: January 2022

Background: Early discontinuation of implant contraceptive methods and reasons for discontinuation remains a major concern for family planning programs and is generally higher in developing countries. Discontinuation is closely related to higher rates of the overall fertility rate and unwanted pregnancies, leading to a possibly induced abortion. The proportion and factors associated with early contraceptive implant removal are not well known in Uganda. The study's objective was to determine the magnitude of early implant discontinuation among women receiving implant services in the study area and its associated factors. Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from 2nd January to 3rd March 2020 through a face-to-face interview. A total of 207 Implant user women were selected by systematic random sampling technique. SPSS version 20 was used for both data entry and analysis. Factors associated with early Implant discontinuation were analyzed using a binary and multivariable logistic regression model. Variables with a p-value of <0.05 and a 95% confidence interval were considered as statistically significant. Results: The proportion of early implant discontinuation was 42%. Factors associated with early implant discontinuation included; experience of side effects (OR=2.629; 95%CI:1.095-6.314; P=0.031), not having received pre-insertion counseling about the benefits and side effects of contraceptive implants (OR=2.565; 95%CI: 1.190-5.532; P= 0.016) and staying in rural areas (OR= 2.390; 95%CI: 1.229-4.648; P= 0.010). 1 Conclusion: Nearly one in every two mothers have early discontinuation of contraceptive implants. Factors associated with early implant removal were side effects, lack of effective counseling before insertion, and staying in rural areas. Hence, health workers should provide adequate counseling services before inserting the Implant, emphasising possible side effects and their immediate management. Spouses, where possible, should be involved during the counselling to increase implant retention. Also, proper screening of women for pregnancy before insertion of an implant should be routine.

Published: January 2022

A batata-doce (Ipomoea batatas L.) é um tubérculo perecível em que a expansão da cultura é restringida por falta de alternativas para sua industrialização. No sentido de valorizar a cultura da batata doce, aliando-a ao desenvolvimento de produtos alimentícios, essa pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de desenvolver técnicas para obtenção de chips de batata doce utilizando-se diferentes processos de secagem. Foram testadas três espessuras de chips, 0,75, 1,25 e 1,75mm, e os métodos de produção foram através de secagem em estufa com circulação de ar por 6h nas temperaturas de 60,70 e 80°C. Os dados obtidos no processo de secagem foram tratados segundo os modelos de Page, Henderson e Pabis e Cavalcanti Mata, sendo obtidos também dados referentes ao encolhimento dos chips durante o processamento, os quais foram tratados pelos modelos de Suzuki, a fim de se obter o coeficiente de encolhimento (n) para cada tratamento. Desta pesquisa, as principais conclusões foram: que a espessura dos chips e a temperatura interferem no processo de secagem, quanto menor a espessura e maior a temperatura, maior foi a remoção de água no processo. Entre os modelos de Page, Henderson e Pabis, e Cavalcanti Mata, o de Cavalcanti Mata representou melhor os dados experimentais de secagem, com coeficiente de correlação superior a 0,99, enquanto que o modelo que melhor se ajustou aos dados de encolhimento para os chips de batata doce desidratados por 6h foi o modelo Uniforme 2 com coeficiente de correlação próximo à 1.

The complexity of personal laws and the debate on the Uniform Civil Code in India

ABSTRACT: The promulgation of the Uniform Civil Code, envisaged in the Indian Constitution as a Directive Principle of State Policy, has been at the center of a debate on overcoming the application of personal laws in matters of family and succession that has always been present in the Indian context and has recently been revived. The contribution identifies as useful keys for analysis on the one hand the logic of uniformisation as choice and, on the other hand, complexity, understood both as the operational difficulty of managing a system of laws applied on a personal basis and as a basic feature of continuous interactions between different principles and rules in a highly pluralistic context.

1 - Papa Francesco interviene ancora una volta sull'attuazione della riforma dei processi matrimoniali disposta con il motu proprio Mitis Iudex Dominus Iesus, a quasi sei anni dalla sua entrata in vigore. E lo fa, ancora una volta, con modalità inusuali e imprevedibili, tali da suscitare sorpresa e sconcerto nei più diretti destinatari di tale intervento. Ci troviamo infatti di fronte a un motu proprio, emanato il 17 novembre 2021, che istituisce una “Commissione Pontificia di verifica e applicazione del m. p. Mitis Iudex nelle Chiese d'Italia” (segue).

No peace for the Italian regional ecclesiastical courts

ABSTRACT: Some critical remarks about a recent Pope Francesco’s motu proprio are presented, in which he calls for a more complete implementation of the reform of the matrimonial process which he has ordered with the appointment of a special pontifical commission to verify the application of the new provisions in the Italian Churches.
Mettere in questione l’ornamento attraverso un approccio morfologico al visibile
Authors: Macaluso Enza
Published: January 2022

The paper investigates the question of the ornament starting from a parallelism between biological- architectural ornaments and decorative-artistic ones. The element of innovation and the emergency of the ornament allow to consider images as if they were living organisms and to highlight their becoming through new forms. Starting from a morphological point of view, from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to the contemporary morphology, the ornament is strictly connected to the dynamics of forms and to a particular approach to the visible. The ornamental dynamics, according to the binomial form-function, open the dimension of the visible to new perspectives and foreshadow potentially infinite changes. The essay analyzes the consequences in the production of visible forms and in the attribution of meanings, but also the political function of images, with particular reference to the idea of an economy of visible forms.

Johannes Kepler's 'Somnium' and the Witches' Night Flight
Authors: Flood Victoria
Published: January 2022

This article explores the uses of the witches' night-flight in Johannes Kelper’s Somnium (1634). It situates Kepler's engagement with the motif in the broader context of debates on the reality of the night-flight among early modern witch theorists, including Kepler's contemporary and friend, Georg Gödelmann. It proposes that Kepler understood the night-flight as a phenomenon with a disputed reality status and, as such, an appropriate imaginative space through which to pursue the thought experiment of lunar travel. Consequently, it suggests that we ought not to dismiss Kepler's engagements with the figure of the witch as a vestigial medieval superstition (itself a problematic contention), but rather an interest characteristic of his age, and that we might find in the speculations of witch-theory the very beginnings of science fiction.
The Author and the Authors of the 'Vita Ædwardi Regis:' Women's Literary Culture and Digital Humanities
Authors: Dockray-Miller Mary , Drout Michael D.C. , Kinkade Sarah , Valerio Jillian
Published: January 2022

Commissioned by Queen Edith in the 1060s, the Vita Ædwardi Regis (hereafter VER) has recently received substantial scholarly attention, including focus on identification of the author of this putatively anonymous text; the quest for authorial identification has until now proceeded with the assumption of sole authorship of the text. Lexomics, an open-access vocabulary analysis tool, adds digital strategies to more traditional literary and historical analyses; the Lexomic evidence indicates that the VER is a composite text built by multiple contributors under the direction of the queen. Not only did Edith's patronage cause the VER to be written, but her knowledge, and her personal and political interests, shaped the Life's content. Hers was the active, guiding intellect behind the entire text, and in two passages the VER appears not only to communicate the queen's intentions but also to preserve her voice. If any one person is to be identified as the 'author' of the VER, therefore, it is Edith, guiding a team of writers and scribes to tell her story.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 pandemic started in December and spread around the globe in a few months. Nosocomial transmission of this virus shut down the dental clinics and creates many problems for patients. This study was designed to assess the experiences and problems faced by the dentist during the pandemic. The was a cross sectional questionnaire-based survey conducted in different dental sectors of Lahore. The questionnaire was distributed through online Microsoft form and total of seventy-eight complete responses were received out of 156 dentists contacted.69.2 % of participants reported that they stop taking appointments during the peaks of pandemic or have planned to stay at home till the end of the pandemic where 27% claimed to perform only emergency procedures. 86% of dentists reported having difficulty finding PPE and 97% had to buy it at a much higher cost. Dentists (96%) also reported that they are facing a significant decrease in income and needed some other source of income. Regarding financial issues they did not get any government support.The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on dentistry. Most dental clinics remained closed, placing a financial burden on the dental profession. This burden was further increased as a result of the scarcity and high cost of PPE. There is a need for standardized protocols to prevent the spread of infection, and government agencies should also consider private clinics for funding and provision of low-cost PPE.

The need to satisfy high seismic performance of structures and to comply with the latest worldwide policies of environmental sustainability is leading engineers and researchers to higher interest in timber buildings. A post-tensioned timber frame specimen was tested at the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata in Italy, in three different configurations: i) without dissipation (post-tensioning only-F configuration); ii) with dissipative angles (DF- dissipative rocking configuration) and iii) with dissipative bracing systems (BF - braced frame configuration). The shaking table tests were performed considering a set of spectra-compatible seismic inputs at different seismic intensities. This paper describes the experimental estimation of energy dissipated by multistorey post-tensioned timber prototype frame with different anti-seismic hysteretic dissipative devices used in the DF and BF testing configurations. The main experimental seismic key parameters have also been investigated in all testing configurations.

This paper focuses on recent advances made in design, development, manufacturing, evaluation and modeling of load bearing fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite sandwich panel systems including tongue and groove joints. Several processes have been researched in collaboration with industry partners for production of composite panels, including: 1) pultrusion, 2) high temperature resin spread and infusion, 3) vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM), and 4) compression molding. The advantages and disadvantages of each process are discussed with emphasis on the high temperature resin infusion process. Composite laminates are characterized in terms of strength and stiffness under tension, bending, and shear in relation to longitudinal and transverse fiber orientations. Thermo-mechanical property variations of the FRP composite sandwich panels including joint responses are presented in terms of: 1) production processes, 2) carbon versus E-glass fiber, 3) vinyl ester versus epoxy, and 4) panel and joint design and efficiency including classical lamination theory. The sandwich panels are evaluated at component and full scales under static four point bending loads and further analyzed using classical finite element models for their mechanical responses.

The energy crisis and environmental pollution have promoted the rapid development of renewable solar technology. Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is an important field for the future development of solar energy. This review presents the mechanical property studies of existing BIPV and analyzes its research status to offer advice for engineering applications. By analyzing the types and mechanical characteristics of solar cells in the existing BIPV and determining the load conditions that need to be considered in different application modes, this paper summarizes the relevant existing studies at the photovoltaic material, cell and component levels and offers corresponding suggestions for mechanical research, which consequently results in the proposal of a new BIPV structure. Since the mechanical properties of BIPV have seldom been studied, and research on practical engineering applications is lacking, further comprehensive and in-depth research is needed to promote the safe and reliable application and popularization of photovoltaic building integration.
Związki manganu, niklu i żelaza. Metoda oznaczania w powietrzu na stanowiskach pracy
Authors: Kowalska Joanna
Published: January 2022

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a method for determining of inhalable and respirable fraction of compounds of manganese, nickel and iron in workplace air. The method is based on passing the tested air through a filter from the cellulose ester mixture placed in a specific sampler. The filter mineralizes in concentrated nitric acid (V) and makes a solution for analysis in diluted nitric acid (V). The use of different dilutions of the sample solution after mineralization makes it possible to use the ranges of standard curves for the determination of substances as manganese, nickel and iron. The addition of lanthanum salt (correction buffer) prevents the occurrence of chemical interference, the use of deuterium lamp eliminates background interference. The developed method enables the determination of selected substances in the air of the working environment in the concentration ranges corresponding to the range from 0.1 to 2 MACs values and also enables the determination of nickel and its compounds in the inhalable fraction for the currently proposed new value of the maximum permissible concentration. The developed method has been validated in accordance with the requirements of Standard No. PN-EN 482 and good validation results were obtained. The method can be used for assessing occupational exposure to compounds of manganese, nickel and iron and associated risk to workers’ health. The developed method of determining compounds of manganese, nickel and iron has been recorded as an analytical procedure (see Appendix). This article discusses the problems of occupational safety and health, which are covered by health sciences and environmental engineering.
FFT based convolution
Authors: Lehmann Gaetan
Published: January 2022

The Fourier transform of the convolution of two images is equal to the product of their Fourier transform. With this definition, it is possible to create a convolution filter based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The interesting complexity characteristics of this transform gives a very efficient convolution filter for large kernel images.

This paper provides such a filter, as well as a detailed description of the implementation choices and a performance comparison with the “simple” itk::ConvolutionImageFilter.
