Published: April 2022

The global Vision Zero approach aims to reduce work-related injuries, dis-eases, and deaths as much as possible. Proactive planning of work and the working environment as well as early identification of emerging risks and workload factors will promote the occupational safety and health (OSH) of employees. In the future, climate change may both directly and indirectly in-fluence OSH. This study investigates the OSH effects that have been identi-fied in interdisciplinary studies related to climate change. Moreover, it exam-ines various ways of adjusting to climate change. The methods consist of a literature review and a qualitative content analysis of documents. This inter-disciplinary study expands on the current knowledge of future challenges concerning OSH with respect to climate change. Practical means of adapting to climate change have rarely been suggested at the organizational level. Fu-ture studies should explore approaches to adapting to climate change and de-velop related practices.

There is no doubt that mobile learning will form learning technology deserts in every country in the world. Looking back at the past long stretches of multifaceted learning, we can see how growing evidence and mobile experiences are guiding the blueprint for other leading learning technologies, bringing learning to individuals and communities—communities that were previously too remote or too expensive. . to equal or improve, advance and test the origins of learning itself. This was done in an unmistakably global environment, with the aim of progressively gaining notoriety and recognition worldwide. However, it was not entirely innocuous as a vehicle of clear intentions. This article examines the past decade and then envisions a future in which thinking in terms of learning technology becomes increasingly dangerous as technology, especially general-purpose technology, becomes an inescapable, ubiquitous, ubiquitous feature. and defining that is underestimated and not worth it. to focus on it. Technology and wearable technology have already entered the world in many ways, both incrementally and indiscriminately, but the world is rapidly evolving into one that would be incomprehensible without technology, particularly wearable technology. The increasing availability of low-cost remote and portable devices and associated infrastructure presents both opportunities and challenges for students, faculty, and foundations. With the survey "What is feasible in mobile learning?" This article attempts to contribute to the discussion. Also, ask yourself, “Why is it important to track these potential outcomes? As the deadline for developing overarching principles and realistic dreams for mobile learning approaches, a key issue is identified that goes beyond explicit statements and branded technologies to examine global patterns. future efforts and thoughts in the field of information technology.

Authors: Goyal Swati , Auchat Ramesh
Published: April 2022

The gradual increase of antibiotics in aquatic environments poses a serious threat to human health and ecosystems, and removal technology for antibiotics has attracted great interest in recent years. An adsorption method using an adsorbent MNC was designed for the rapid removal of tetracycline (TC) antibiotics from water. The results showed that TCs sorption on adsorbent was highly pH-dependent, and the optimal pH was found to be 4.5-5.6 for tetracycline (TC). The adsorption efficiency could reach 99.8%, suggesting that MNC is an excellent adsorbent for TC removal from water. The adsorption kinetics fitted the pseudo-second-order model perfectly. The adsorption isotherms study showed the maximum sorption capacity. The differences in the removal trends of the three TCs may be attributed to their different pKa values. Moreover, the thermodynamic parameters for the adsorption were estimated, and the ΔH° and ΔG° values indicated the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the sorption process.

Published: April 2022

Breast cancer is the most commonly found cancer in women and the incidence is high in developing countries. Very few HER-2 tyrosine kinase inhibitors available in the market, but chronic use of some of these inhibitors may result in resistant to the treatment. The dual inhibition of HER-2 and PI3K tyrosine kinases can effectively treat breast cancers. In view of this, the present investigation is directed to the design of dual HER-2 and PI3K inhibitors employing a multidimensional drug design approach. In this approach, molecular docking studies of some existing HER-2 and PI3K inhibitors were carried out and physicochemical properties were also considered to identify common structural features for dual inhibition. From these results, new dual HER-2 and PI3K inhibitors were designed. Among some of the designed molecules new thienopyrimidines were synthesized and tested for anti-proliferative activity on breast cancer cell lines. Finally, six heterocyclic core moieties and important substituents were identified for HER-2 and PI3K selectivity. Among them thienopyrimidine was selected for the synthesis. Some of the synthesized compounds were found to show appreciable anti-proliferative activity in the in vitro cytotoxicity studies.

Authors: A Rathika , M Irine T
Published: April 2022

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver doped zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) nanoparticles were prepared using zinc nitrates as oxidizers, glycine and citric acid as fuels as solution combustion synthesis (SCS) at 500°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern demonstrates the presence of Ag+ in the hexagonal zincite structure of ZnO. The average crystalline size of the particles of ZnO and Ag-ZnO were found to 47 nm and 74 nm respectively. From the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, the composition of Ag doped ZnO confirmed Ag-Zn-O stretching vibration at 510 cm-1. The UV-Visible absorption spectra results showed that synthesized ZnO and Ag-ZnO nanoparticles exhibited UV-visible absorption peaks at 370 nm, corresponds to a band gap of 3.24 eVand 3.08 eV respectively. Based on the above characterization techniques, the incorporation of silver affects the structural and optical behaviour of ZnO nanoparticles. The ZnO nanoparticles were observed that the particles are spherical morphologies. EDAX spectrum indicates no other elemental presence in the synthesized nanoparticle. The present work illustrate the Ag-ZnO nanoparticles as a photo-catalyst to decompose contaminants in the presence of UV light. The photo-catalytic activity of ZnO samples were investigated by UV- irradiation of methylene blue solution in a photocatalytic setup. The resulting mixtures were irradiated with UV light for a period of 45 mins. Based on results, the photocatalytic activity of Ag-ZnO nanoparticles were enhanced by the addition of Ag in pure ZnO nanoparticles. Ag doped ZnO nanoparticles showed higher photocatalytic activity efficiency than pure ZnO nanoparticles.

Characterization of Islamic Investments Funds: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Hariri Mohammad
Published: April 2022

This study synthesizes the findings of previous studies on Islamic investment funds through a systematic literature review. Relevant documents were selected through scoping, planning, searching, screening, and eligibility. Subsequently, the primary documents for each topic were categorized, and relevant information was extracted. The following two dimensions of Islamic investment funds’ activity have emerged: social and financial. The social dimension is constituted by Shariah precepts that govern the management of Islamic investment funds to promote socially responsible investment. Islamic investment funds do not fulfill their role as promoters of social responsibility. The financial dimension refers to assessing the performance and efficiency of Islamic investment funds compared with other types of investment funds. Evidence on this point is controversial. To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first secondary study on Islamic investment funds. The contradictions in the financial dimension open new avenues for more secondary studies, such as meta-analyses. A limitation of this study is that the search for documents was conducted with the use of specialized search engines without exploring other.

La Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral (UNPA) es una de las tres universidades nacionales de más reciente creación en Patagonia (luego vinieron Río Negro y Tierra del Fuego). No es objeto de discusión la ampliación de oportunidades en el acceso a la educación superior que ello supuso. Sin embargo, más recientemente, la transformación de la modalidad de enseñanza de presencial a virtual valiéndose de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC’s), visualizadas como “democratización de la educación superior”, ha permitido multiplicar el número de inscriptos pero no (en términos porcentuales y a la fecha de cierre del análisis) el de egresados. En el artículo, a partir de cuantificar los diversos comportamientos, se procura dimensionar el impacto que sobre el comportamiento de la matrícula ha tenido la implementación de un modelo de Educación a Distancia sustentado en el empleo de las TIC’s (trasladando todo el proceso educativo a la mediación tecnológica en la plataforma virtual), que ha venido a suplantar la modalidad presencial (que podríamos denominar como “tradicional”, en el sentido de que conserva los rasgos centrales de una escolaridad de cursado cotidiano en el ámbito físico de la universidad).La metodología de indagación aquí utilizada es cuantitativa y se observan las carreras de educación de una de las unidades académicas de la UNPA. Las tablas permiten avanzar en el objetivo de caracterizar la dinámica de la matrícula mientras el cursado fue presencial y luego, cuando se pasó a la modalidad virtual, procurando comprender las trayectorias académicas desarrolladas por los estudiantes y el impacto que el cambio de modalidad pudo haber tenido. Como corolario, exponemos reflexiones que pueden ser útiles para seguir pensando el impacto de las TIC’s en la educación superior.

JACQUES RANCIÈRE Y EL PROBLEMA ACERCA DE CUÁNDO “HAY POLÍTICA”. LA IGUALDAD COMO FUNDAMENTO Y SUS CONSECUENCIAS (DES)POLITIZANTES
Authors: Gambarotta Emiliano
Published: April 2022

¿En qué condiciones hay política? Esta pregunta subyace al conjunto de la teoría de Rancière. Para quien no siempre la hay, lo que siempre hay, en cambio, es dominación, una división policial de lo sensible. Aprehender tales condiciones, y lo que ello nos dice sobre esta teoría de lo político, es el objetivo principal del presente artículo. Con tal fin se realizará una lectura interna de dicha teoría, indagando la lógica propia de los materiales ranciereanos, en pos de captar sus potencialidades pero también sus puntos ciegos al problematizar lo político. En definitiva, se realizará una “crítica inmanente” de su teoría, la cual se enfocará especialmente en cómo este autor tematiza la relación entre conocimiento y política. Así, se estudiarán, por un lado, los factores que llevan a que el conocimiento (filosófico, sociológico, etc.) suprima a la política, al litigio que la caracteriza, según Rancière. Esto conducirá, a su vez, a detallar cuáles son las condiciones que él señala como necesarias para que “haya política”. Por el otro lado, y en vínculo con lo anterior, se analizará el estatus que en esta teoría se da a la “igualdad”, en tanto desligarla de toda pretensión de verdad (cognoscitiva) resulta clave en las objeciones a la relación entre conocimiento y política que plantea Rancière, en lo que constituye, al mismo tiempo, uno de los cuestionamientos contemporáneos más radicales de dicha relación. El fin que persigue la crítica inmanente de esta teoría es elaborar los elementos para una nueva problematización de ese lazo entre conocimiento y política, particularmente del lugar que el conocimiento crítico puede tener en una política democrática.
MEDIOS TRADICIONALES Y REDES SOCIALES EN INTERNET: UN ANÁLISIS DE LOS POSTEOS COMPARTIDOS POR LOS DIARIOS ARGENTINOS CLARÍN Y LA NACIÓN EN FACEBOOK (2010-2015)
Authors: Raimondo Anselmino Natalia , Sambrana Alejandro Matías , Cardoso Ana Laura
Published: April 2022

En este artículo, se presenta parte de los resultados de un estudio sobre los posteos publicados por los diarios argentinos Clarín y La Nación en sus respectivas cuentas oficiales en Facebook, durante el período 2010-2015. A partir del examen de dos corpus —uno construido por una colección finita de materiales seleccionadas ad hoc y otro que comprende el universo total de los posteos—, esta investigación supone el ensayo de una manera complementaria de abordar el estudio de la configuración discursiva de las publicaciones que los diarios realizan en sus fanpages, articulada con un proceso de minería de datos que recién se encuentra en su etapa inicial. La estrategia metodológica combina las labores artesanales propias del análisis sociosemiótico —que tradicionalmente suelen aplicarse a paquetes discursivos de menor tamaño— con el empleo de herramientas digitales y métodos computacionales que permiten la recopilación, el pre-procesamiento, el procesamiento y la visualización de cantidades masivas de datos y de metadatos que son, al menos inicialmente, no estructurados, y que pueden ser tanto textuales como no textuales.Se atiende aquí, específicamente, a la indagación sobre el tipo de contenido difundido y la frecuencia de publicación de las fanpages mencionadas, considerando, entre otros aspectos: los tipos de posteos más habituales, los comportamientos de publicación en relación con diferentes franjas horarias, la localización geográfica de la información, los géneros periodísticos empleados, los soportes utilizados, las temáticas de referencia, la temporalidad de los acontecimientos presentados en las notas, así como las interacciones que las publicaciones obtienen. Todos estos son hallazgos mediante los cuales se pretende avanzar en el examen de la configuración discursiva que los medios emplean en la plataforma conectiva a nivel global con mayor impacto, en la actualidad, en el tráfico web de información.
ARQUITECTURAS INFERNALES. DISTOPÍAS Y UTOPÍAS SOVIÉTICAS EN LA NOVELA CIUDAD MALDITA, DE ARCADI Y BORIS STRUGATSKY
Authors: Del Percio Daniel Clemente
Published: April 2022

La distopía o utopía negativa es un subgénero que ha hecho famoso la literatura inglesa, particularmente desde las obras de George Orwell (1984, de 1948) y Aldous Huxley (Brave New World, de 1932). Sin embargo, suele pasarse por alto que la primera antiutopía moderna pertenece a un autor ruso, Evgueni Zamiátin: la novela Nosotros (My), de 1922, producto de una modernidad tardía. Esta obra estableció los paradigmas que caracterizarían de ahí en más formalmente a la distopía. En 1968, los hermanos Arcadi y Boris Strugatsky, principales referentes de la ciencia ficción soviética en aquellos años, reelaboraron a partir de estas bases una ciudad ya no distópica sino infernal y oscuramente irracional, eje de su novela Ciudad maldita (Grab obrechonni), una distopía ya en clave posmoderna, llevándola a un auténtico (e irresuelto) planteo sobre la naturaleza del mal. A partir de un marco teórico que vincula la evolución de las utopías negativas con la ciencia ficción, nuestra hipótesis implica que esta novela, curiosa síntesis de ciencia, política, esoterismo y literatura, define un nuevo tipo de obra distópica. El paisaje de ruinas que implica, tan caro a la ciencia ficción posterior a la caída del Muro de Berlín, se vuelve un sistema de sinécdoques que representa, desde la estética del fragmento, un profundo nihilismo donde la posmodernidad adquiere la forma de abismo.
EXISTENCIA HOMOSEXUAL Y SOCIALISMO EXISTENTE. NUEVAS APROXIMACIONES A LA REPRESIÓN DE LA HOMOSEXUALIDAD MASCULINA EN LA RUSIA DE STALIN
Authors: Healey Dan
Published: April 2022

Los historiadores queery los activistas tienen una relación particular con la historia de la Unión Soviética. Un vínculo que ha sido moldeado por las políticas de la Guerra Fría y el ascenso, en primera instancia en el mundo anglo-americano, del movimiento de liberación gay. Para los militantes de izquierda, saber que el primer Estado socialista del mundo sancionó políticas sexuales radicales ha sido un talismán y una guía. La despenalización de la homosexualidad masculina, caratulada como sodomía, en los primeros años de la Rusia revolucionaria, fue uno de los cambios más radicales en las leyes criminales, familiares y de propiedad que marcaron la llegada de los bolcheviques al poder. La eliminación de las regulaciones religiosas y reaccionarias del régimen zarista sobre la sexualidad ha sido presentada como el punto de referencia de las políticas sexuales progresistas. Siguiendo esa lectura, la re-penalización por parte del gobierno soviético de la sodomía durante 1933-34 es interpretada como una “tendencia reaccionaria” de la mano del régimen de Joseph Stalin, una degeneración del presumiblemente socialismo legítimo de Vladimir Lenin (o León Trotsky). Nuestras narrativas también presentan al cambio en la legislación de la homosexualidad masculina durante los convulsionados años de 1930 a través del prisma de las relaciones internacionales. Esta perspectiva recurre fuertemente al trabajo del reformista sexual freudiano y marxista Wilhem Reich, quien en 1936 publicó una acusación de la represión de los homosexuales soviéticos.
LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DEL DISCURSO PEDAGÓGICO DE LA CONFEDERACIÓN DE TRABAJADORES DE LA ECONOMÍA POPULAR
Authors: Palumbo María Mercedes , Bruno Daniela Paola
Published: April 2022

El artículo se propone describir y analizar el discurso pedagógico construido en torno a la política de formación desplegada por la Confederación de Trabajadores de la Economía Popular (CTEP). Desde nuestro abordaje conceptual, la formación política es entendida como un proceso enmarcador que mediatiza la relación del movimiento social y su contexto encuadrando la acción colectiva. Con este fin, se analizan distintos aspectos de la política de formación: (a) su génesis y objetivos; (b) el material de apoyo a la formación; (c) los trayectos formativos establecidos. El supuesto que recorre este artículo plantea que las prácticas político-sindicales de la CTEP y las características de este actor poseen su correlato en el terreno de la política de formación y, en sentido inverso, la construcción de un discurso pedagógico opera en la reafirmación de las prácticas político-sindicales. Se adoptó una metodología cualitativa sustentada en la recopilación de documentos —materiales de apoyo a la formación y artículos de la página web de la CTEP— y la realización de entrevistas a dirigentxs de las distintas organizaciones integrantes de la Confederación vinculadxs a la política de formación. La relevancia de las consideraciones aquí esbozadas reside en abordar un caso de estudio aún poco indagado en general y particularmente desde la perspectiva de la construcción de su discurso pedagógico.
