Un corresponsal del P. Feijoo: Joaquín Saurin Robles
Authors: Saurin de la Iglesia María Rosa
Published: April 2019

RESUMENLa afable respuesta del P. Feijoo a un joven admirador, en 1750, da pie para esbozar la personalidad del destinatario, aristócrata murciano que había encontrado en el benedictino una guía intelectual. Todo en su evolución sucesiva —ya fuera como Regidor de su ciudad natal o en sus actividades de anticuario, editor de textos raros y en trance de ser olvidados, dramaturgo o miembro de la Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País—, prueba su adhesión a la estrategia sugerida por Feijoo para que España, superando su marginalidad, lograse incorporarse a las Luces ya esparcidas por Europa.PALABRAS CLAVEFeijoo, Ilustración, Saurin, Murcia. TITLEA correspondent of Father Feijoo: Joaquín Saurin RoblesABSTRACTIn 1750, the kind answer from P. Feijoo to a young admirer, allows for the sketching out of the recipient’s personality, an aristocrat from Murcia, who would have found an intellectual guide in this Benedictine figure. Everything in the development of this personal history whether as councilor of his native city, or in his activities as an antiquarian scholar, editor of rare texts or, in the process of being forgotten, as a playwright or member of Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, proves his support to the strategy adopted by Feijoo in which Spain, surpassing its marginality, could join the Enlightenment which had already spread throughout Europe.KEY WORDSFeijoo, Enlightenment, Saurin, Murcia.

Gregorio Mayans y Vicente Blasco, dos generaciones de ilustrados valencianos y una misma preocupación cultural y religiosa: las poesías de fray Luis de León (1761)
Authors: Juan Liern María Llum
Published: April 2019

RESUMENEsta contribución pretende ser una reflexión crítica sobre esa coyuntura histórica del siglo XVIII, examinada a luz de la cultura y la religiosidad, para intentar esclarecer cómo el Setecientos español está enraizado en el movimiento de renovación espiritual que enlaza con el humanismo cristiano del siglo XVI y confirma un resurgimiento del influjo y magisterio de Erasmo. Esta corriente alimenta las inquietudes de dos valencianos que defendieron unas nuevas formas de religiosidad alejadas de la religiosidad barroca en la búsqueda de un equilibrio armonioso entre razón y Revelación: Gregorio Mayans y Síscar y, Vicente Blasco García y su estrecha colaboración para publicar la "Vida de Fr. Luis de León" y las "Obras propias y traducciones de Fr. Luis de León", que propició una interesante relación epistolar acerca del interés por los clásicos griegos y latinos así como los humanistas del siglo XVI.PALABRAS CLAVEHumanismo, Ilustración valenciana, fray Luis León, Gregorio Mayans, Vicente Blasco. TITLEGregorio Mayans and Vicente Blasco, two generations of valencian Enlightenment and the same cultural and religious concern: the poems of fray Luis de León (1761)ABSTRACTThis contribution aims to be a critical reflection on that historical conjuncture of the eighteenth century, examined in light of culture and religiosity, to try to clarify how the Spanish 18th century is rooted in the movement of spiritual renewal that links with the christian humanism of the sixteenth century and confirms a resurgence of the influence and teaching of Erasmus. This current feeds the concerns of two valencians who defended new forms of religiosity away from the Baroque religiosity, in the search for a harmonious balance between reason and Revelation: Gregorio Mayans Síscar and Vicente Blasco García and their close collaboration to publish the "Life of Luis de León" and theown works and translations of Fr. Luis de León, gave rise to a very interesting epistolary relationship about the interest in the greek and latin classics, and the humanists of the 16th century.KEY WORDSHumanism, Valencian Illustration, fray Luis de León, Gregorio Mayans, Vicente Blasco.

Conclusiones: El modelo diseñado evidencia la posibilidad de aplicarse al desarrollo de alternativas de fijación ósea, que disminuyan la respuesta inflamatoria, eviten intervenciones secundarias y reduzcan las tasas de rechazo a los elementos actualmente utilizados para tratar afecciones osteomusculares.
Analysis of the First Lactation Curve in Holstein Cows with Different Mathematical Models
Authors: GÖK Turgut , MİKAİL Nazire , AKKOL Suna
Published: April 2019

The shape of the lactation curve of cows as well
as the total or 305 day milk yield is considered as an important criterion in
the livestock farms. Five different mathematical models, used in defining
lactation curves were used in this study to fit first lactation curves of
Holstein cattle. Total of 4472 weekly average milk yield of the first lactation
of 104 cows between 2001-2008 years, was used for this aim. The models used in
the study were: Wood; Morgan; Gompertz; Ali and Schaeffer and Dijkstra. The
models' fit to the lactation curve has been examined and compared. Lactation
curves also have been investigated according to the lactation years. The R2, R2adj,
AIC, BIC and MAPE values were used in the comparison of the models. The lowest
AIC (-3.29), BIC (-3.12) and MAPE (0.55) and highest R2 (0.99) and R2adj
(0.99) values were found for the Ali and Schaeffer model. This model was
followed by the Dijkstra model. As a result of the study, it was determined
that the most suitable models for predicting the first lactation milk yield
curves and curves features like maximum milk yield and days in milk to peak
yield of Holstein cattle were Ali and Schaeffer and Dijkstra models.

Authors: Dos Santos Dielem Cristina Oliveira , Menezes Aline Beckmann , Costa Thiago Dias
Published: April 2019

Este estudo teve como objetivo a avaliação da importância e aplicabilidade de competências, previamente mapeadas na literatura, por psicólogos escolares e educacionais, visando contribuir para a discussão da relevância da utilização de competências como estratégia complementar na formação e atuação deste profissional. A partir do levantamento do universo de profissionais que atuam em psicologia escolar em escolas públicas e privadas de Belém, Pará, aceitaram participar deste estudo 18 psicólogos. Estes avaliaram o grau de importância e aplicabilidade no cotidiano escolar das competências mapeadas por meio de um instrumento padronizado formulado em estudo anterior, com escala Likert, sendo os dados analisados a partir de estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais não-paramétricas. Os resultados mostram que as competências elaboradas foram avaliadas em grande parte como relevantes à atuação do psicólogo escolar de acordo com a percepção dos profissionais, havendo maior ênfase naquelas que se direcionam ao contexto institucional. As redes pública e privada apresentaram diferenças, especialmente quanto à aplicabilidade de competências, o que pode ser compreendido a partir das configurações de suas práxis. A estratégia da utilização de competência pode ser considerada adequada à formação e preparação para os futuros papéis e funções que o psicólogo escolar venha a exercer em sua prática.
The Development of the Inventory of the Child-Friendly Family
Authors: Chan Ko Ling , Chen Qiqi
Published: April 2019

This study developed and validated the Inventory of the Child-friendly Family (ICF) in a Chinese student population. A total of 97 items were generated by focus group interviews involving 30 adolescents. After a review by experts, and focus group interviews with another 20 adolescents, 46 items remained. Those 46 items were tested with a representative sample of 5,841 students in Hong Kong. Participants responded to a questionnaire containing the 46 items. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), we generated a 2-factor, 18-item scale. The two factors obtained were labeled “psychological support and positive discipline strategies” and “care and protection.” Results from preliminary tests showed that this 2-factor ICF had good internal consistency and validity. The ICF can serve as a protocol to guide actions in developing a child-friendly family.
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Upon Admission to Shelters Among Female Victims of Domestic Violence: An Ecological Model of Trauma
Authors: Dekel Rachel , Shaked Omer Zvi , Ben-Porat Anat , Itzhaky Haya
Published: April 2019

The study used the ecological model of trauma and recovery (Harvey, 1996) to examine the rates of probable posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among female victims of domestic violence. Five hundred and five participants completed questionnaires upon entering shelters in Israel. Analysis showed that 61% of the participants reported probable PTSD. Childhood exposure to violence, violence severity, and feeling helpless were all associated with high PTSD levels. By contrast, Ethiopian ethnicity, social support, and a stronger sense of control were associated with lower PTSD levels. However, the interaction between social support and violence duration showed that social support did not moderate PTSD when exposure to violence endured. The study emphasizes that resources deteriorate, and that policy-augmenting prevention programs would increase treatment potential to strengthen survivors' coping capacities.
“Violence is Everywhere”: Childhood Polyvictimization, Perceptions of the Prevalence of Victimization, and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms
Authors: Miller-Graff Laura , Howell Kathryn H. , Scheid Caroline R. , Schaefer Lauren
Published: April 2019

Childhood polyvictimization is related to a heightened risk for mental health and functional problems in young adulthood, including posttraumatic stress symptoms, but little research has examined how perceptions of the prevalence of victimization may contribute to specific symptoms of posttraumatic stress. The primary aims of the current study were to (a) evaluate the accuracy of young adults' beliefs about the prevalence of multiple types of childhood victimization and (b) determine how inaccurate appraisals of victimization prevalence are associated with posttraumatic stress symptoms. College students (n= 369) drawn from two geographic regions of the United States responded to an online survey assessing their experiences of childhood victimization, perceptions about the prevalence of victimization, emotion regulation skills, and mental health. Childhood polyvictimization was significantly and positively related to distorted appraisals of the prevalence of victimization overall (r= .26,p< .001), and emotion regulation was associated with symptoms of posttraumatic stress in all domains. Distorted perceptions of the prevalence of victimization were linked to higher symptoms of hyperarousal, but not to higher symptoms of reexperiencing, avoidance, or negative mood/cognition. Results suggest that emotion regulation skills training is likely to be beneficial for many individuals experiencing posttraumatic stress, and intervention around perceptions of the prevalence of victimization may be useful for addressing symptoms of hyperarousal.
Reliability and Findings From an Instrument Examining Sexual Assault Disclosure Content and Context: The Sexual Assault Inventory of Disclosure
Authors: Pinciotti Caitlin M. , Allen Christy E. , Milliken Jennifer M. , Orcutt Holly K. , Sasson Sapir
Published: April 2019

Compared to the depth of research examining the impact of sexual assault disclosure and related responses from others, little is known about the content shared during disclosures. Categorizing survivors as disclosers or nondisclosers disregards the nuanced and complex nature of disclosure. To address this gap, the current studies examined the reliability and preliminary results of the Sexual Assault Inventory of Disclosure (SAID), an inventory of content shared during disclosures and the context in which it was shared. The SAID proved reliable and preliminary findings suggest that perceptions of disclosures as positive or negative are predicted by differences in content and context, above and beyond disclosure recipients' response. The current study also explored gender differences in disclosure. Additional findings, implications, and suggestions for future studies using the SAID are discussed.
Correlates of Persistent Victimization by Romantic Partners: A Short-Term Prospective Study
Authors: Cascardi Michele , Avery-Leaf Sarah
Published: April 2019

There has been limited prospective investigation of correlates of persistent (repeated within and across relationships) physical intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization compared to episodic (not repeated within or across relationships) IPV in young adulthood. The primary aim of the current study was to examine prior victimization, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, psychological IPV (emotional abuse and threats), and remaining with the same partner, as unique correlates of persistent physical IPV during a 6-month period. Female undergraduates who completed baseline and follow-up assessments (n = 254) were classified into victimization groups according to their self-report of physical IPV: no physical IPV (65.0%), persistent IPV (at baseline and follow-up [11.0%]), and episodic IPV (at follow-up [9.8%] or baseline only [14.2%]). Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that the number of prior victimizations, PTSD hyperarousal symptoms, psychological IPV at baseline, and remaining with the same partner at follow-up significantly discriminated the IPV groups. The likelihood of membership in the persistent physical IPV group was associated with all variables. Episodic physical IPV at baseline only was associated with fewer childhood victimizations and being in a new relationship at follow-up. Results highlight assessment and intervention approaches that may assist females experiencing both persistent and episodic physical IPV.
The Relevance of Mindfulness and Thought Suppression to Scrupulosity
Authors: Fisak Brian , Rodriguez Hayley , Kissell Kellie
Published: April 2019

The purpose of this study was to examine the relevance of the mindfulness and thought suppression to scrupulosity, or religious obsessions. It was hypothesized that scrupulosity would be negatively associated trait mindfulness and positively associated with thought suppression. It was also hypothesized that thought suppression and mindfulness would mediate the association between scrupulosity and symptoms of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). A survey-based study was conducted to test these hypotheses in a large, nonreferred sample. In particular, undergraduate university students completed a number of self-report measures, including the Pennsylvania Inventory of Scrupulosity (PIOS), the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire- Short Form (FFMQ-SF), and the White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) in exchange for extra credit. As anticipated, mindfulness was significantly associated with scrupulosity, with a particularly strong and negative association found between the PIOS and the nonjudging subscale of the FFMQ-SF. Further, thought suppression was found to be significantly and positively associated scores on the PIOS, with correlations in the moderate to strong range. Further, as anticipated, mindfulness and thought suppression mediated the relation between scrupulosity and thought suppression. Overall, the findings provide insight into the cognitive processes related to persistent and disruptive levels of scrupulosity.
Cleansing the Attentional Palate: A Preliminary Test of a Novel Approach to Facilitate Disengagement From Rumination
Authors: Rosenfeld Eve A. , Kennedy Katherine , Farchione Todd J. , Roberts John E.
Published: April 2019

Resource allocation theory suggests that rumination depletes cognitive resources that could be directed toward task-relevant processes. We propose a new approach to the treatment of rumination that specifically targets this misappropriation of cognitive resources, wherein individuals engage in an attentionally demanding task in order to interrupt the ruminative cycle. We argue that this strategy would serve to free cognitive resources from rumination and facilitate performance on other tasks. Thus, the present study served as an initial test of this novel approach. This study employed a within-subjects design, in which participants were 30 college students who completed self-report measures of baseline mood state, anxiety, depression, and trait rumination. Subsequently, they underwent sad mood and rumination inductions followed by random assignment to either a low attentional demand disengagement strategy (DS) followed by a high attentional demand DS or vice versa. Reading comprehension was assessed at baseline and following each of the two DSs. The high attentional demand DS condition was associated with better performance on the reading comprehension task compared to the low attentional demand DS condition. These results provide initial support for our novel approach to targeting rumination and demonstrate that attentionally demanding DSs may successfully free cognitive resources that might otherwise be consumed by rumination. Thus, future research into attentionally demanding DSs that interrupt ruminative cycles is warranted. This approach could be a useful adjunct for interventions targeting disorders driven by rumination, such as depression.

Este artículo presenta resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue analizar los orígenes y la evolución histórica de la formación de profesores de matemáticas en la Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia. La investigación siguió un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo estudio de caso, con el uso de entrevistas y el análisis de documentos. El Programa fue el primero en su género en el País, tuvo traslados de sede y cierres temporales. Este texto muestra el perfil profesional del profesor en diferentes épocas y los planes de estudios y características implícitas en el trabajo docente. Los planes de estudio se han actualizado, siguiendo tendencias de la disciplina matemática y las normas oficiales. Los perfiles han variado desde el énfasis para formar profesores para educación básica y media, hasta profesores para la educación superior. Se percibió un divorcio entre la actitud didáctica y pedagógica que se persigue en los nuevos licenciados y la forma de trabajo de los profesores de matemáticas.

Con una metodología de carácter cualitativo, los resultados de la investigación permiten visualizar la valoración que el tutor hace en torno a las habilidades y valores que se potencian en los participantes del programa, entre los que cabe mencionar la solidaridad, la empatía, la capacidad de aconsejar al estudiante tutorado, el afianzamiento de los conocimientos de manera bidireccional, el dominio del tema por parte del tutor y su práctica como futuro profesor.
THE ANALYSIS OF PERSONAL FACTORS CAUSING SUBSTANDARD ACT IN USING SELF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR WELDING
Authors: Alamanda Putri Nitasya Ayu
Published: April 2019

Welding is a job that has potential hazards and risks. An effort to reduce the risk of hazards in welding is by providing protection to workers in the form of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance with the type of work. Substandard act is an action that can cause accidents. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors related to the incidence of substandard act done by welding workers in PT. INKA (Persero) in the use of PPE based on the ILCI Loss Causation Models theory. This study used observational technique with a cross sectional study design. The research respondents were 16 welding workers of assembling carbody division in PT. INKA (Persero). The data collections were done by using questionnaires and observation sheets with spearman correlation test analysis. The results of the statistical analysis in the study showed that age (r = -0,180), working period (r = -0,041), education level (r = 0,123), and knowledge (r = -0,391) had a weak relationship with substandard act of using PPE. The increase age, years of service, level of education and knowledge increased the tendency of workers to use PPE below the standard, while the higher level of education will increase the actions of workers in accordance with the standard use of PPE.Keywords: personal protective equipment, personal factor, substandard act
Japanese Public Diplomacy in Indonesia: The Role of Japanese Agencies in Academic Exchange Programs between Japan and Indonesia
Authors: Mubah A. Safril
Published: April 2019

Japan and Indonesia have developed mutual cooperation in academic exchange programs for the past three decades. Japan acknowledges that student interchange plays a significant role in promoting mutual understanding between Japan and foreign countries. Japanese government expects international students, either those who are still studying in Japan or those who have returned to their home countries, serve as a bridge between their countries and Japan. To achieve this goal, Japanese government employs some agencies to undertake academic exchange programs. In Indonesia, particularly, some Japanese agencies such as Japan Student Services Organization (JASSO), Japan Foundation, and Japan International Cooperation Center (JICE) have played important role in student exchanges. They have various programs to attract Indonesian students getting involved in academic exchanges. This paper describes these agencies’ role in academic exchange programs between Japan and Indonesia. Considering that the Japanese agencies work to promote Japan’s soft power through public diplomacy activities under transgovernmental networks model, I utilize concepts of public diplomacy and transgovernmental networks as a framework for analyzing the case. I argue that Japanese agencies have successfully served as Japanese public diplomacy agents by acting great role in advancing Japan’s soft power through academic exchange activities. However, some challenges appear in the way to achieve Japanese public diplomacy goal to create mutual understanding between Japanese and Indonesian people.
Mathematical Models for Possible Roles of Oxytocin and Oxytocin Receptors in Autism
Authors: Gottlieb Mark
Published: April 2019

This paper develops mathematical models examining possible roles of oxytocin and oxytocin receptors in the development of autism. This is done by demonstrating that mathematical operations on normalized data from the Stanford study (K.J. Parker, 2016), which establishes a correspondence between severity of autism in children and their oxytocin blood levels, generates a graph that is the same as the graph of mathematical operations on a normalized theoretical model for the severity of autism. This procedure establishes the validity of the theoretical model and the significance of oxytocin receptors in autism. A steady-state model follows, explaining the constant baseline concentrations of oxytocin observed in the cerebral spinal fluid and blood in terms of the neuromodulation by oxytocin of oxytocin receptors on the magnocellular neurons that produce oxytocin in nuclei in the hypothalamus.  The implications of these models for possible roles of oxytocin and oxytocin receptors in autism is considered for several unrelated conditions that may be associated with autism. These are: oxytocin receptor desensitization and down-regulation as factors during labor in offspring autism development; reductions in the oxytocin receptor numbers in the fixed oxytocin receptor expression that occurs before birth; MAST Immune System disease; and the excess number of dendritic spines from lack of pruning observed in brains of autistic people. Research into the feasibility of generating magnocellular neurons and other neurons from adult stem cells is suggested as a way of doing invitro studies of oxytocin and oxytocin receptors to assess the validity of theories presented in this paper.

Published: April 2019

The low soil fertility is one of the causes of the reduction in cassava production in the Nuabosi area of Ende Regency. Therefore it is necessary to identify soil fertility and farmer activities on the land. This research used survey system by takes soil samples and farmers from ten fields in five villages, namely Ndetundora I, Ndetundora II, Ndetundora III, Embuteru and Randotonda. Determination of land were used purposive sampling method. Whereas farmer activity data is obtained by interviewing farmers whose land is used as land sampling. Variables observed were physical and chemical soil properties. The results of the analysis of agricultural activities can be described using existing theories. While the analysis results of the physical and chemical properties of the soil can be described using chemical criteria and soil fertility from the Bogor soil research center. The results of interviews and direct observations in the field showed that Nuabosi cassava farmers did not only plant cassava but also used conservative agricultural on their land. The physical properties of the soil analyzed showed that the soil was suitable for cassava plants. Based on soil fertility criteria, these lands have a limiting factor for C-Organic.

A Case Report of Empty Sella Syndrome secondary to Hantaan Virus Infection and Review of the Literature
Authors: Lou Lixin , Zhang Peng , Wang Bin , Wang Yang
Published: April 2019

Background
Bleeding in the anterior pituitary lobe leading to tissue necrosis occurs in acute stage of severe clinical forms of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), while atrophy of the anterior pituitary lobe with diminution of the gland function occurs after recovery stage. The relationship between hantaan virus infection and empty sella syndrome (EES) was reported rarely.
Case presentation
We herein report a case of EES secondary to hantaan virus infection. This patient was a 54-year-old previously healthy Chinese male. He presented with fever, headache and backache with dizziness and oliguria. Physical examination was notable for hypotention and the signs of conjunctival suffusion. His platelet dropped and the urine protein was positive. The IgM to Hantaan virus and virus RNA were positive. Then he was diagnosed as hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. But in his diuretic phase, his 24-hour urine volume was still kept on the level of 10, 000 ml and his blood pressure was obviously higher for a week. Then the examination of pituitary function and brain magnetic resonance imaging were performed. The levels of the hormones were much lower and the magnetic resonance imaging results indicated empty sella. The patient’s symptoms were improved and he was discharged from the hospital soon after hormone replacement therapy.
Conclusions
The examination of pituitary function and MRI of brain need to be considered to scan ESS and panhypopituitarism in the patients with HFRS accompanied with diabetes insipidus.
Low cost structured-light based 3D surface reconstruction
Authors: Yan Yijun , Assaad Maher , Zabalza Jaime , Ren Jinchang , Zhao Huimin
Published: April 2019

In an increasingly specialized industry with strong demands from end users, product quality plays a key role in industrial manufacturing, where the quality impact highly depends on the final product and its application. An important parameter for quality control is the surface finish of objects, essential for determining their technical suitability. Therefore, measuring the surface levelness can be critical to ensure that the finished material meets the design specifications. In this work, we propose an effective yet low-cost solution using out-of-the-shelf components, which is based on the structured light principle for depth/3D measurements (line laser). By means of laser triangulation, this solution can provide rapid and accurate levelness measurements both in 1D profiles and 2D maps for a relatively wide range of sizes, materials and other conditions. The experimental evaluations show a satisfactory performance with a great trade-off between accuracy and cost, becoming not only a rapid but a cheap solution, making it ideal for quick inspections in diverse environments.

Cultivated Cretan mountain tea or Malotira (Sideritis syriaca L.) was found to be infected by Meloidogyne hapla and Meloidogyne javanica in the island of Crete. The authors provide the first molecular characterization of M. hapla in Greece and the first report of Cretan mountain tea or Malotira as a host of Meloidogyne species worldwide. In addition, Meloidogyne hispanica was found infecting aloe (Andros island) and corn (Drama, North Greece) consisting the first reports of natural infection of these plants by M. hispanica in Europe. Furthermore, infection of corn by M. incognita and soybean by M. javanica (Drama, North Greece) are reported for the first time in Greece. Integrative taxonomical approach based on perineal pattern and EP/st ratio, as well as the region of the mitochondrial genome between the cytochrome oxidase subunit II (coxII) and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genes was used to differentiate Meloidogyne species.

Authors: Patwayati
Published: April 2019

The present study attempts to bring up eco-destination which is until now still under-researched. Especially, it puts interest in the relationship between image and identification, which is absent in tourism literature. Combined together and tailored to its purpose, it develops new constructs, that is eco-destination image and eco-destination identification. In order to represent the real nature of Wakatobi as eco-destination, it also develops another two constructs as the antecedents of eco-destination image and eco-destination identification, that is perceived eco-support and need for uniqueness. By doing so, it puts together interactively some theories that previously stand mutually-exclusive, especially those of image, uniqueness, subjective norm, and social identity theories. This mixture becomes its conspicuous novelty. The population covers domestic and international tourists over 25 years old. It applies convenience sampling for questionnaire distribution. It applies SPSS for data analysis. The results would be that perceived eco-support has significant effects on destination image and eco-destination identification, while destination image has a significant direct effect on eco-destination identification, which makes destination image only serve as a partial mediator in the relationship between perceived eco-support and eco-destination identification. Need for uniqueness should have an insignificant effect on eco-destination identification, but significant effect on destination image. It means that destination image serves as a full mediator in the relationship between need for uniqueness and eco-destination identification.

Polyploidy is associated with increased cell size and is commonly found in a subset of adult organs and blastomere stage of the human embryo. The polyploidy is formed through endoreplication or cell fusion to support the specific need of development including earliest embryogenesis. Recent data demonstrated that Polyploid Giant Cancer Cells (PGCCs) may have acquired an activated early embryonic-like program in response to oncogenic and therapeutic stress to generate reprogrammed cancer cells for drug resistance and metastasis. Targeting PGCCs may open up new opportunities for cancer therapy.

A study of Land Zoning in the base of Traffic Noise Pollution Levels using ArcGIS: Kirkuk City as a Case Study
Authors: Ali Shno Mustafa , Hama Ako Rashed , Ali Younis Mustafa
Published: April 2019

This study is an approach to assign the land area of  Kirkuk city [ a city located in the northern of Iraq, 236 kilometers north of  Baghdad  and 83 kilometers  south of  Erbil [ Climatic atlas of  Iraq, 1941-1970  ]  into different  multi zones by using Satellite image and Arc Map10.3,  zones of different traffic noise pollutions. Land zonings process like what achieved in this paper will help and of it’s of a high interest point for the future of Kirkuk city especially urban planning and economic issues of the city. Also, it may be considered as a reference in solving the traffic jam problems in the city. Transportations and sounds of horn of vehicles are the major sources of traffic noise pollutions .Vehicular traffic noise problems are contributed by various types of vehicles such as heavy and medium trucks or buses or automobiles. During this study, six major regions within the city were selected (Governorate region, Baghdad road, Al Wasti, Al Askary, Al Nasir and North garage). A survey for all those six regions were taken place  and noise measurements  were captured at points  or  near to the  intersections  for a duration of three different periods days per a week  [  Sunday 3rd , Monday 4th , and  Tuesday 5th] of January 2016. The results showed  a  high level of noise pollution and super passing on many occasions to the prescribed levels by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) , maximum level noise pollution  value was 94.6 dB(A) in AlWasti region near to the road that leading to Kirkuk university , while minimum level noise pollution  value was 48 dB(A) in AlNasir region. As a result, a noise map zoning was prepared for Kirkuk City for top peak working three days. The prepared noise distribution map will help and could be used as a considerable point for the future during designing projects related to transportations. Also in another hand, the map reflected indirectly the amount of regional air pollutions. High distributed noise pollution zones means a zone of a high air pollutions levels specially Cox and Nox gaseous pollutions.
El pase de visita en la enseñanza médica: reflexión desde la Teoría de la Actividad
Authors: Nava Espinosa Roberto
Published: April 2019

El pase de visita es una actividad donde se conjuntan procesos docentes y asistenciales alrededor de la atención a pacientes hospitalizados. Representa el momento ideal para el aprendizaje del método clínico, ya que existe una interacción entre médicos expertos con novatos en medicina. No obstante, a pesar de ser un acto cotidiano, no suele tener una dinámica homogénea, ya que cada médico la desarrolla a su libre elección. Tampoco los procesos que ahí se desarrollan suelen llevarse de la mejor manera. Una mirada desde la óptica de la Teoría de la Actividad puede ayudar a comprender lo que ahí se genera, en aras de perpetuar y mejorar uno de los momentos de mayor aprendizaje para el médico en formación.
Memoria y Autogestión Comunitaria como Estrategia Emancipadora Contra el Conflicto y la Historia Oficial. Comunidad de Paz de San José de Apartadó, Colombia.
Authors: Coronel Salazar Esteban
Published: April 2019

La historia es muestra de los sucesos más importantes, pero reservadamente puede integrarse a proyectos que avanzan hacia sus propios objetivos. Cuando imperan las condiciones que impone una historia de conflicto solo se dan dos opciones: o subordinarse al discurso dominante, o ir por una historia libre. En Colombia y Latinoamérica, la historia se ha subordinado a diversos discursos hegemónicos que a través de violentos lenguajes, han impuesto los imaginarios más convenientes para intereses excluyentes que niegan la memoria y la voz de los oprimidos. La Comunidad de Paz de San José de Apartadó en el Urabá Antioqueño-Colombia, refleja la experiencia de una comunidad, que en la urgencia de crear otra historia que enfrente a la hostil historia “oficial” y reivindique su memoria, construyó todo un proyecto de autogestión comunitaria que niega la lógica de un conflicto histórico que tiene como invariables la violencia y la impunidad.

El objeto de estudio de esta investigación son las creencias religiosas y los imaginariosculturales, presentes en los jóvenes y cómo inciden directamente en los procesoscreativos en la Educación Artística. Analizaremos los credos en los jóvenes y que tantotiene de relevancia en los procesos de creación, el cual se tomará el paradigma cualitativo,porque permite una compresión de los imaginarios simbólicos, presentes enestudiantes de grado décimo y once, de la Institución Educativa Municipal SagradoCorazón de Jesús de El Tambo, Nariño. Sabemos que hoy en día la secularización (desaparición-trasformación de lo religioso) y la modernidad centrada en el individualismo,hace que haya un vaciamiento de la presencia religiosa, dando fuerza a el nihilismo, elcientificismo y a un desencantamiento del mundo, proceso que ha venido cambiandoy en el caso de Latinoamérica de una manera postergada. Por tal razón se investigarádesde el enfoque histórico-hermenéutico, donde tenemos cuatro aspectos a analizarhermenéuticamente: Creencias religiosas, Creencias culturales en los adolescentes, rolde las instituciones y las creaciones artísticas, para así discernir e interpretar mejor elmundo cambiante y dinámico.
