Authors: Guzmán Francisco , Moreno María Claudia , Montoya Antonio
Published: August 2021

Introduction: The main cause of death in Colombia is the violence, in which 49% to 70% correspond to traumatic brain injury (TBI). There are publications in Colombia that expose the epidemiology of this national catastrophe, but there are a few studies that follow the neurological-functional state after the head injury on this patient. Objectives: To know the functional state after one year following a traumatic brain injury on patients. Methods: A cohort of patients that were hospitalized on the Hospital Universitario del Valle, Cali, Colombia, with traumatic brain injury between July 2003 and June of 2004. The Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) scale was apply when the patient leave the hospital, and at the first and twelve month after the brain injury. Results: 2049 patients were include on the study. 83% were men. 53% of them were classified as mild TBI, 31% moderate and 16% severe by the Glasgow Score Scale. The mortality was 13% intrahospital (0.3%, 1.4% y 8% of mortality en mild, moderate and severe respectly), and after a year of TBI the mortality was 14%, and 85% of the patients was on GOS of 4 and 5. Conclusions: The incidences of the variables evaluated on the TBI patients on the present study are similar to the world literature series. After 12 months, the followed up of functional state and the mortality of TBI patients were similar to the data of countries of high technology and developed.

Authors: Cepeda Prado Efraín , López Tobón Alejandro , García Segura Luis Miguel , Cardona Gómez Gloria Patricia
Published: August 2021

Introduction: A predominant molecular component analyzed in the study of neurodegenerative diseases is the presence of the Tau-GSK3β complex and its association with protein aggregation into the cell. Several evidences show that GSK3β has an important role in abnormal pattern of the phosphorylation of Tau. However, the molecular events that are governing this complex are unknown. Aim: To determine the effect of 17 β-estradiol treatment on the expression and association of Tau hyperphosphorylation responsible kinases. Methods: 17 β-estradiol treatments were realized in the hippocampus of ovariectomized adult wistar rats and in hippocampal primary cultures treated with β-amiloid. Protein complex association was assessed by co-immunoprecipitation, toxicity assay by LDH release and cell morphologic changes by confocal microscopy. Results: Our results show that 17β-estradiol produced dissociation of macromolecular complexes like Tau/GSK3β, Tau /GluR2/3, Tau/FAK, and Tau/Fyn in hippocampus of adult rat. In addition the expression of GSK3β-ptyr was decreased by the hormonal treatment and this one regulated the defosforilation of Tau in an excitotoxicity model by β-amiloid. Conclusions: It suggests new targets that will contribute to neuroprotection and neuronal plasticity studies mediated by the estrogen.
The acute and subchronic pretreatment with antiepileptic drugs modifies the pentylenetetrazol- induced generalized seizures in mice .
Authors: Rocha Luisa L.
Published: August 2021

Objetives: The increased GABA content or administration of a centrally active GABA-mimetic agent have been used as a efficacious anticonvulsant therapeutic approach. However, it has been suggested that the use of drugs that continually and noncontingently alter synaptic transmission could alter at the nervous system. The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of acute (one administration) and subchronic (7 daily administrations) treatments with Diazepam (DZP; 10 mg/kg, ip), Gabapentin (GBP, 100 mg/kg. vo) and Vigabatrin (VGB, 500 mg/kg, vo) on pentylenetetrazol-induced generalized seizures (PTZ, 80 mg/kg, ip). Materials and methods: Male Taconic mice (20-25 g) received acute or subchronic treatment with DZP, VGB or GBP and 24 h after the last administration, the effects of PTZ (latency to the clonus, forelimb extension and death incidence) were evaluated. Results: Acute DZP protected all animals (100%) to the convulsant effects of PTZ, whereas subchronic DZP decreased the latency to the clonic (21%; p< 0.05), tonic (27%, p< 0.05) and death (37%, p< 0.05). The acute treatment with VGB protect all animals (100%) to the effects of PTZ, whereas its subcronic administration enhanced the latency to clonus (32%, p< 0.05), but facilitated the appearance of tonic seizures (55%, p< 0.05) and death (58%, p< 0.05). The acute administration of GPB increased the latency to clonus (52%, p< 0.05), whereas its subchronic treatment did not modify the PTZ-induced effects Conclusions: The present results indicate that the acute pretreatment with drugs enhancing GABAergic transmission differently modifies the seizure susceptibility, and that the subchronic administration may facilitate the seizure activity.

Authors: Aguilar Andrea , Salcedo Mercedes
Published: August 2021

Background: In Colombia among violent not fatal injuries the sexual crimes occupy fourth place, being more affected the minors of age. The sexual violence experienced on the infancy or on the adolescence leaves severe consequences. Objectives: To describe the occurrence of sexual violence cases denounced in teenagers from 10 to 19 years, during the 2001-2003 in Cali. Methods: A descriptive study of prevalence of sexual abuse in adolescents from 10 to 19 years assisted in the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of the Southwest region during the 2001-2003 for clinic and social work evaluation. Prevalence was calculated and the chi2 test was used to explore differences between variables. Results: From 250 cases of accusations of adolescents were included 77.5% of these accusations were filed by women; being the most affected group age between 10 to 14; 96% reported to have any scholarship studies at the moment of the abuse; 46% were doing family-related activities at the moment of the abuse; 31.4% of the victims belonged to monoparental family and 40% to mixed family; 38.2% of the adolescents had records of family domestic violence; 82.6% of the aggressors were a victim’s acquaintance and only the 17% reported to have been attacked by a stranger. The menace and the blackmail were the principal forms used by the aggressor to persuade victim’s silence. Also stands out the presence of accomplices in the moment of the abuse. Finally, the commune (or municipality) 13 and 20 were the ones with a greater number of cases, and the one with the least was the 17 with only one case. Conclusions: A high percentage of victims of sexual violence are women who know his aggressor. The accusations are more prevalent in sectors with socioeconomic disadvantage.

Published: August 2021

Introduction: In spite of recent treatment advances, lung cancer continues to be the first world cancer related death cause; its mortality associated occupied the fifth place in Colombia in 2004. Complete surgical resection is the therapeutic option with the greatest cure probability, however it results frequently ineffective given the current incapacity in Colombia to an early detection of the disease. This study reports the characterization of a group of 30 lung cancer patients regarding the gene dose (gene copy number) found at the loci corresponding to genes EGFR (erb B1), PIK3CA and C-myc in tumor samples, and compares the results with the dose found in adjacent lung from the same patients. Methods: The gene dose of EGFR (erbB1), PIK3CA, and C-myc were measured by real time PCR in matched tumor and normal lung tissue samples. Results are expressed as the multiplicity of each gene dose with respect to a single copy reference gene. In this case the gene HHB (human hemoglobin). Antiquity of the cases ranged from 5 to 10 years. Results: An increased gene dose for EGFR and PIK3CA was a feature clearly associated to the tumor phenotype of the sample (found in 96 and 100% of the tumors respectively). Quantitative measure of this feature demonstrated for both genes a high sensitivity and specificity for tumor/normal discrimination as confirmed by the ROC analysis. On the other hand, the Spearman test showed a great correlation between EGFR and PIK3CA doses (r=0.75). C-myc was the gene whose dose was less consistently correlated to the tumor phenotype, however most of the patients with amplified C-myc presented distant spread of tumor cells (metastasis) at diagnosis. Conclusion: Quantitative measurement of EGFR, PIK3CA, and C-myc gene dose by real time PCR provides a method for tumor phenotype recognition in DNA samples from lung tissue. These markers can be considered at the construction of a marker panel for lung cancer detection on alternative, non-invasive clinical samples. However clinical value will depend on the use of additional molecular markers, some of which could be of epigenetic character.

Published: August 2021

Objectives: To identify the causes of relapse and search for treatment by drug users.Methodology: This was a qualitative exploratory research carried out in an Addiction Rehabilitation Unit at a psychiatric hospital in Paraná State, Brazil. Data were collected from May to June 2010 through a semistructured interview with 12 drug addicts. They were further analyzed and organized into thematic categories.Results: Five categories emerged from the analysis: Environment influences relapse; Non-recognition of the powerlessness facing addiction; Difficulty in coping with frustrations; Inaction fosters cravings for psychoactive substances; Losses, co-morbidities, and recognition of powerlessness lead to the search for treatment.Discussion: Among the motivations for relapse, external influences related to the social context, as well as internal ones such as difficulties with self-perception were pointed out. The subjects attributed to losses, several aspects of their lives and the recognition of the control deficit over the addiction as the ultimate factors to search for treatment.Conclusion: It can be concluded that those subjects’ recovery is favored by the conjunction of physical, emotional, and social factors. Thus, it is deemed necessary that health professionals continuously refine their knowledge on this theme to be qualified to deliver thorough care to these clients.

La plata es en la botánica, como en todas las cosas, el gran resorte . El comercio de las quinas en la formación de Francisco Antonio Zea (1785-1795)
Authors: Amaya José Antonio , Rendón Acosta Julián Leonard , Lille Michel
Published: August 2021

El interés por el funcionamiento del estanco de la quina (1785-1791) y los saberes asociados alejaron a Zea de la ciencia botánica. El desempeño de Mutis como empresario estatal influyó decisivamente en la decisión de Zea de enriquecerse ejerciendo como burócrata. Se presenta el primer estudio sobre el funcionamiento y la producción del estanco. Protegido por opositores a este tipo de empresa, Zea ingresó a la Expedición Botánica en contradicción con Mutis, malogró su formación como botánico y acabó trabajando en complicidad con el médico negociante. Mutis fue su jefe —no su maestro— y en todo caso su modelo de empresario.
El poder y el clero en Pasto durante la conformación de la República de Colombia, 1821-1831
Authors: Chaves-Martínez Viviana
Published: August 2021

Este artículo muestra el ejercicio del poder del clero en la ciudad de Pasto durante el proceso de conformación de la República de Colombia entre 1821 y 1831. La ciudad mantuvo una posición de resistencia frente al proceso revolucionario e independentista del Virreinato de la Nueva Granada, sin embargo, esta actitud difícilmente se explica al margen del poder económico y el poder ideológico ejercido por el clero, lo que lo convertía en un sector social importante e involucrado en los procesos sociales, políticos y económicos dados en la ciudad. Desde la perspectiva metodológica de la Historia Social el estudio se fundamentó en el análisis documental de fuentes primarias y documentos de archivo, como cartas, informes, memorias y correspondencia de la época, consultados en Ecuador, Colombia y España, permitiendo relacionar aspectos del ámbito social, político y económico. Los atributos y características económicas y sociales de los miembros de este grupo les permitía establecer relaciones reciprocas, clientelares y de dominación, al mismo tiempo que acumular, conservar y mantener una posición de poder e influir en la conducta social.
Cerca de la revolución colombiana. Repensando el unirismo de Jorge Eliécer Gaitán (1933-1935)
Authors: Acosta Olaya Cristian
Published: August 2021

Este trabajo estudia la construcción y disolución de la organización política Unión Nacional Izquierdista Revolucionaria (UNIR) en la primera mitad de la década de 1930 a través de la discursividad de su líder, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, el testimonio de varios de sus miembros y el semanario Unirismo. Desde el análisis de las identidades políticas, se indaga al unirismo en tensión con el comunismo y el liberalismo oficialista, para así destacar el sentido puntual de la acción revolucionaria unirista, marcado en gran parte por el pensamiento de Gaitán previo a 1933: el rechazo a la eliminación física de su alteridad y la vocación por construir una vanguardia política. Se propone, finalmente, que las fronteras identitarias establecidas contra el Partido Liberal desde la UNIR fueron porosas. Esta hipótesis cuestiona las lecturas acerca del unirismo como un intento de tercer partido y, fundamentalmente, explica el retorno de Gaitán al liberalismo sin recurrir a argumentos como la estrategia electoral o el oportunismo de dicho líder colombiano.

Authors: Semenova Olga Vladimirovna , Butovskaya Mariana L'vovna
Published: August 2021

The key goals of this research consists in assessment and comparative analysis of the help of family in large postindustrial societies. For this purpose, the author carries out a cross-cultural comparative study of the frequency of family contacts in the three countries: Russia, the United States, and Brazil. Based on the 2019 online survey, the author collected quantitative data on the involvement of grandparents into upbringing process of their grandchildren in Russia (N=620), USA (N=308) and Brazil (N=603). In addition to the basic biosocial demographic parameters, the survey included two target questions on the frequency of communication between grandparents and grandchildren. Intensive migration processes and the resulting distance of households between the two generations in the indicated countries substantially reduces the traditional help of grandparents in upbringing the younger generation. The acquired data demonstrate the significant differences that take place in these three countries, and their correlation with the peculiarities of the family lifestyle in other countries. For example, the help of grandparents in Brazil is much lower than in Russia. Comprehensive analysis is also conducted on the factors that reduce the involvement of grandparents in upbringing of their grandchildren in Brazil. The decrease in the frequency of family contacts may be associated with the intensive urbanization processes unfolding in Brazil over the few recent decades. At the same time, the acquired data may reflect the in-depth processes of feminization of migration from less developed regions of the world to more economically prosperous countries. The analysis of the observed consequences of accelerated urbanization in Brazil is of applied importance for understanding the future prospects for the development of modern family.

Objetivo: Buscar na literatura o que as evidências científicas abordam sobre os tipos de violências obstétricas e o papel do enfermeiro. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de caráter exploratório e cunho qualitativo Foram utilizados os descritores: "assistência de enfermagem”, “prática de enfermagem” combinados às palavras: “violência obstétrica”, selecionando artigos publicados no período de 2015 a 2021 na base de dados Medline e LILACS. A busca resultou em 19 artigos. Após a utilização dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, o corpus da análise resultou em 11 artigos. Resultados: Após leitura e análise dos artigos relacionados, foi identificado que muitas mulheres não têm ciência sobre a prática de violências a que são submetidas por considerarem atos normais, quando na verdade trata-se de violências obstétricas e que o papel do enfermeiro nos detalhes é essencial para a mudança desses atos.  Considerações finais: Visto que é de suma importância mudanças no modelo de assistência obstétrica no Brasil, há uma grande necessidade de expor para as parturientes a importância de se manterem informadas sobre a violência obstétrica, sendo orientadas e tratadas como donas do próprio corpo.

Published: August 2021

Objectives: To analyze the student's and professor's vaccinal situation of a medical course. Methods: It is a transversal and quantitative research, done in 2019, which aimed to identify if preconized vaccines of Programa Nacional de Imunização (PNI) were administered or not. The data was obtained through a questionnaire applied to professors and students from the 1st to the 12th period, under CAAE 08246918.1.0000.5237. Posteriorly, it was done an inferential and comparative analysis with literature and vaccinal data from previous research done in 2014, at the same institution, that evaluated vaccination for hepatitis B, dT, varicella, influenza, and HPV. Results: Despite the rise in vaccination of students from 2014 to 2019, most of PNI coverage goals were not reached in 2019. As a result, it is necessary to maintain the incentives for vaccination in the health sector since the sample is constituted of a high-risk group of infectious contagious diseases. Conclusion: The implementation of an action plan for the exigence of the updated vaccinal chart as a prerequisite for registration of medical students must be considered. It is expected that it would reinforce the relevance of vaccination for diseases that are preventable through immunization.

Analysis of the investments influence in environmental protection measures on the structure of ecological costs distribution on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia)
Authors: Bykanova O. A.
Published: August 2021

Modern investment processes can be considered the main factor in the development of individual constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The emergence of additional jobs, the improvement of social infrastructure contribute to the growth of the quality of life of the population. However, the active use of natural resources as a raw material base for industry and agriculture has consequences: the depletion of resources and the violation of their structure and quality. Environmental protection measures are an important component of the development of regions. The article сonsiders investments aimed at protecting land and water resources in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The study of the statistics of costs for the conservation and restoration of water and land using the Gatev integral index allowed us to conclude about significant changes in current costs structure. Based on the correlation and regression analysis, the ratio between the Gatev index of structural differences in costs and the share of investments in the rehabilitation of soil and water resources with a correlation of 0.85 has been obtained. It has been concluded that a decrease in the level of attracted investments entails, in aggregate, a significant redistribution of funds for measures aimed at improving the natural resources of agricultural purposes.

Published: August 2021

The modern specifics of the temporarily free funds management on Unified Treasury Account of the Federal budget have been analysed. The assessment of the possibility and expediency of using of the income part received from the management of these funds to transfer to the Pension Fund of Russia budget as an additional factor in balancing its income and expenditure obligations, – has been made. An analysis of the current legislation has shown that the Pension Fund of Russia is not included in the number of recipients of income shares from managing balances on a single treasury account. In this regard, an estimate of the approximate amount of income from managing balances on a single treasury account based on open data has been made. It is proposed to include the Pension Fund of Russia in process of distributing these revenues since their value is sufficient to cover up to 10 % of the budget deficit of the Pension Fund of Russia.

A study of the provision of enterprises of the Penza region with human resources was carried out and an assessment of the effectiveness of the human resources management system in a pandemic was carried out using an expert method. Based on the results of the study, recommendations were developed for the organization of personnel management in conditions of uncertainty.
International legal conventions as an instrument for preventing environmental risks
Authors: Mayorova E. I.
Published: August 2021

The participation of the Russian Federation in international environmental conventions and agreements as the successor of the USSR and as a new subject of the international law of the XXth century is considered. Environmental problems arise due to the excessive anthropogenic impact on nature. Rational use of natural resources requires the development and purposeful application of environmental and legal instruments for the protection of the natural objects and systems that are not included into the jurisdiction of individual countries and are not the national heritage of a particular state. The efficiency of the norms of the international environmental law is low since they come into conflict with the economic interests of states. Nature continues to be considered as the basis of the economy, and participation in international agreements means restrictions on certain economic activities, therefore, a number of countries do not ratify international environmental conventions for economic reasons, neglecting environmental consequences. Another reason for the refusal of ratification is the desire to hide from the public information about the deterioration of the environment, which is a violation of the interests of civil society and a risk to human health.

For this reason, as an Indonesian Language teaching strategy for Foreign Speakers (BIPA) must also introduce cultures in Indonesia. The model used for the learning is local Betawi color-based multiliteration. With multiliteration learning not only teaches linguistic aspects but also culture includes local identity, beliefs, professions, habits, and so on. The choice is based on the location of  the study, namely Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University located in Jakarta, which is dominated by the Betawi community. In addition, Betawi is a representation of the Indonesian people actually. Local color literature used for this model is prose in the form of a collection of Terang Bulang short stories, Terang in Kali and Cerita Keliling Jakarta by S.M. Ardan and old poems in the form of pantun. With multiliteration, it is expected that BIPA learners in addition to having linguistic abilities can also understand Indonesian culture, especially Betawi. Thus, BIPA learners have an impression that they are motivated to learn Indonesian and use it on various occasions.

This study is to find out the relationship of characters to illustrations in a collection of 9short stories from NadiraKarya Leila S. Chudori. In the collection, there are four short stories that contain illustrations of the main characters namely "Melukis Langit”, "Tasbih", "Sebilah Pisau", and "At Pedder Bay". The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method by using Charles Sanders Pierce's Semiotic Theory which includes sign and object. The study of characterization or characterization is done in two methods namely direct (telling) and indirect (showing). The results of  this study indicate that out of the 4 short stories analyzed only 3 short stories that have character relationships with illustrations, namely the short story "Melukis Langit", "Tasbih" and "Sebilah Pisau". Short story of "Melukis Langit" depicts Nadira's character who is strong against her father's behavior since the death of his mother. The short story illustration shows Nadira crying in the bathroom to vent her sadness. Short story "Tasbih" describes Mr. X with a mysterious character illustrated by showing Mr. X's face full of mystery while the short story "Sebilah Pisau" tells Kris who is Nadira's secret admirer. Kris's character is displayed with illustrations illustrating the event when Nadira was surprised to see Kris's table filled with Nadira's picture. Short story "At Pedder Bay" tells Nadira's old friend Marc who is also an admirer of Nadira for a long time. The main character, Marc in this short story is not illustrated in the illustration. The short story shows a background, namely the lake and the figure of the woman sitting pensively.
MAINTENANCE OF JAVANESE JONEGOROAN LANGUAGE IN BOJONEGORO STUDENTS IN BRAWIJAYA UNIVERSITY, MALANG

Published: August 2021

Javanese of East Java dialect has several subdialects, one of which is the Jonegoroan subdialect. Jonegoroan Javanese Language (BJJ) is still spoken by a group of Bojonegoro students in the University of Brawijaya Malang in their daily communication. This study aims to 1) interpret language cases; 2) variation patterns, and 3) reveal the reason for the use of BJJ by Bojonegoro students in UB Malang. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection uses observation, interview, recording, and listening techniques. Data analysis in this study used a sociolinguistic approach with several theories, including the theory of language retention and the theory of word change. The results of this study are 1) cases of linguistics that often arise in speech use are apheresis; 2) BJJ variation patterns include forms of suffix changes and several other terms that are distinguishing or indicating BJJ identity toward Javanese in other regions; and 3) the reasons  for saying BJJ is expression of regional spirit, compulsion, bonding solidarity, ethnic existence, ease of communication, habits, pride, awareness of norms, and language loyalty.

This study aims to improve student confidence and speaking skills in the BIPA University PGRI Semarang class through video making projects. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The data were provided by interview, observation, and documentation. The data analyzed is carried out by collecting data, coding data, comparing data, constructing interpretations, and reporting results.  In addition, to overcome students 'problems, several attempts were made to increase students' confidence and speaking ability before making videos, such as doing role plays and simulations in class. After that, the students practice their speaking skills in real situations. The first cycle is making a video project around the City of Semarang, while the second cycle is carried out in the City of Magelang. This research data is presented by formal and informal methods. The results of the data analysis showed that the video making project was able to 1) significantly increase the student confidence and pronunciation; 2) improve the students' Indonesian language skills, especially fluency, vocabulary, and accuracy in grammar; and 3) increase their motivation and enthusiasm that encourage them to learn Indonesian in BIPA classes well.

This research is motivated because students still have difficulties in learning to analyze expansion text. This study aims to describe the skills of Analyzing Explanatory Texts without and by using the Cooperative Integrated And Composition (CIRC) learning model towards the skills of Analyzing Text Exploration of Class X1 students of SMA N 15 Padang. This type of research is quantitative by using experimental methods. The design of this study is Postest Only Control Design. The population of this study was all students of class X1 of SMA N 15 Padang. The sample in this study were students of class X1 SMA N 15 Padang, amounting to 30 people in the experimental class and 26 in the control class. The data in this study are scores on the skills of analyzing explanatory texts without and by using Cooperative Integrated And Composition (CIRC) learning models. This research can be concluded as follows. First, the level of skills in Analyzing Text Expansion without using the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model of class XI students of SMA N 15 Padang obtained an average score of 74.61 with a classification of 66-75% which is more than enough (LdC). Secondly, the level of skills in Analyzing Text Expansion using the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model of class XI students of SMA N 15 Padang obtained an average score of 81.11 with a classification of 76-85% which is good (B).

This study proposed a classification model for timber defect classification based on an artificial neural network (ANN). Besides that, the research also focuses on determining the appropriate parameters for the neural network model in optimizing the defect identification performance, such as the number of hidden layers nodes and the number of epochs in the neural network. The neural network's performance is compared with other standard classifiers such as Naïve Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbours, and J48 Decision Tree in finding their significant differences across the multiple timber species. The classifier's performance is measured based on the F-measure due to the imbalanced dataset of the timber species. The experimental results show that the proposed classification model based on the neural network outperforms the other standard classifiers in detecting many types of defects across multiple timber species with an F-measure of 84.01%. This research demonstrates that ANN can accurately classify the defects across multiple species while defining appropriate parameters (hidden layers and epochs) for the neural network model in optimizing defect identification performance.
