SUJETO AUTISTA, CAMPO SOCIAL Y LA NUEVA LEY TEA EN CHILE
Authors: Baeza Rosales Claudia , Black Duvanced Joan
Published: May 2024

En este artículo se realiza una reflexión sobre el sujeto autista en interrelación con la ley denominada “ley TEA (trastorno del espectro autista)” que se ha generado en la actualidad en Chile. Situaremos una concepción del autismo desde el psicoanálisis y del cómo pensar el campo social en el proceso de devenir sujeto, de la mano de Piera Aulagnier, para luego avanzar hacia el concepto de libertad de circulación, tomado desde los planteamientos de Jean Oury desarrollados en el campo de la psicosis, instalándolo como lo que podría ser un camino novedoso respecto de las posibilidades subjetivantes de habitar el espacio social junto con otros. Finalmente con ese recorrido trazado, volvemos a la pregunta sobre las implicancias de esta nueva ley en el sujeto autista.
Reference measurement procedure for the absolute quantification of
albumin in urine using isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass
spectrometry (ID-LC-MSMS)
Authors: Beasley-Green Ashley , Heckert N Alan
Published: May 2024

Urinary excretion of albumin is a major diagnostic and prognostic
marker of kidney disease; therefore, accurate measurement of urine albumin is
essential to clinical diagnosis. To support the accuracy and comparability of
clinical urine albumin measurements, the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) has partnered with the National Institute of Diabetes and
Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Laboratory Working Group (LWG) and the
International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) Working Group for the
Standardization of Albumin Assays in Urine (WG-SAU) to develop a reference
measurement system for urine albumin. NIST has developed the foundational components
of the reference measurement system for urine albumin, a series of higher-order
reference materials and a reference measurement procedure (RMP), to establish a
traceability scheme that will link clinical urine albumin to the International
System of Units (SI). The NIST RMP for urine albumin is based on the detection and
quantification of signature proteotypic (trypsin) albumin peptides via isotope
dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-LCMS/MS) and multiple
reaction monitoring (MRM). The RMP incorporates an isotopically labeled (15N)
full-length recombinant human serum albumin (15N-rHSA) material as the internal
standard, which permits the absolute quantification of albumin in urine. Out of the
11 tryptic peptides selected to monitor the albumin in urine, 5 albumin peptides
were used for the absolute quantification of albumin in urine. This publication
outlines the NIST RMP for the absolute quantification of albumin in urine by
ID-LC-MS/MS.
The imbalance case in multilingualism practices at Pesantren: Students’ voices
Authors: Muhammad Faiz Rizki , Purbani Widyastuti
Published: May 2024

Today, multilingualism is extremely common. In the Indonesian context, it has its own phenomenon in which the Indonesian and English languages coexisted and frequently earned special emphasis among the mother tongues of each region. Surprisingly, multilingualism has been practiced in pesantren for a long time, with Arabic becoming the primary choice alongside Indonesian and regional languages. Now, Pesantrens are currently developing and adding more languages as learning targets, including English. However, according to the authors’ preliminary research at several renowned pesantren, English has not yet surpassed Arabic in terms of its practice in their daily usage. In fact, pesantren is an ideal setting for language environmental conditioning using the Multilingual Education technique. The purpose of this study is to investigate the causes of the language imbalance as viewed through the students' perspectives and how they influence the students’ language behavior. The authors utilized a descriptive qualitative method to analyze data gathered from interviews with 40 grade X-XII students at two Pesantrens in Central Java and Yogyakarta. The recorded data was then analyzed using framework analysis method. The results showed 5 main factors from the case: 1) students’ anxiety, 2) lack of language exposure, 3) unsupporting language environment, 4) students’ religious identity, and 5) students’ future needs. There were also different perceptions between Arabic as a language for studying religion and worship, while English only means for communication and preparation to advanced study. These findings also concluded that these perceptions influence their imbalance in multilingualism practices.

Authors:   Yulin College, China, Chai Hua
Published: May 2024

In order to improve the translation quality of the machine translation model in the field of patent text, this paper proposes a patent knowledge fusion strategy. On the one hand, it integrates the structural knowledge, special phrases and professional terms in the patent text into the translation model as embedded comments, so as to improve its translation effect. On the other hand, based on XLNet, the basic translation model of Transformer is improved, and the translation performance of the model is further improved on the basis of integrating professional knowledge. The simulation results show that compared with the basic Transformer model and the Transformer model that only introduces fusion strategy, BLEU values of the proposed machine translation model combining fusion strategy and improved Transformer for the Chinese-English and English-Chinese translation tasks has increased by 3.77, 1.79, and 2.17, 0.46, respectively. It has a significant improvement in improving the quality of patent literature translation and is worthy of further research and promotion.

Published: May 2024

El tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) es una afección grave que ocurre cuando un coágulo de sangre bloquea una arteria en los pulmones. Puede causar dificultad para respirar, dolor en el pecho, desmayos e incluso la muerte. En la reciente pandemia de COVID 19, la incidencia de TEP se incrementó.  El estudio consistió en una revisión de literatura de investigación médica El proceso de análisis se realizó con una matriz de resumen de artículos científicos estilo PRISMA.  En total se analizaron 10 estudios, con grados de recomendación A y B en escala de Oxford. La infección por COVID-19 aumenta el riesgo de que las personas desarrollen tromboembolismo pulmonar (EP). Esta afección grave y potencialmente mortal se produce cuando los coágulos de sangre viajan desde otra parte del torrente sanguíneo (normalmente la pierna) hasta los pulmones. El mayor riesgo de EP puede deberse a una respuesta inmune irregular causada por la infección por COVID-19. La respuesta exagerada del sistema inmune, parece ser el mecanismo de acción que provoca TEP en paciente con COVID 19 El marcador Dímero – D, ha demostrado importante sensibilidad para predecir eventos de TEP en pacientes con COVID 19. Se concluye que la enfermedad de COVID 19 incrementa la incidencia de TEP en pacientes con riesgo de trombosis y también en aquellos sin antecedentes trombóticos.

Authors: Dhingra Deepika , Srivastava Sanjay , Srivastava Nandini
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure and reliability of the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire Form 6S (MLQ-6S) for use with Indian corporate leaders. Data was collected from 321 leaders employed across public (n = 165) and private (n = 156) sector organizations via convenience sampling. Before conducting exploratory factor analysis (EFA), tests of normality, sphericity, and sampling adequacy were performed to check statistical assumptions. EFA revealed a 3-factor structure consistent with the MLQ-6S factors of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership as measured by the 21 items. All factor loadings exceeded 0.5, supporting retention of the original item set. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and split-half coefficients. The overall MLQ-6S scale achieved good reliability (α = 0.719; split-half = 0.664), meeting common psychometric standards. These findings provide evidence that the MLQ-6S demonstrates satisfactory factor structure and reliability for use in assessing leadership behaviors among Indian organizational leaders.

Background: Diagnosis of Cryptosporidium species that causes Cryptosporidiosis and associated diarrhea especially among HIV-infected and AIDS patients remains a big challenge for health care providers in this region. Objective: To determine the prevalence of cryptosporidiosis among the hospital attendees in the Bushenyi district of Uganda. Materials and Methods: Standard parasitological methods were used in the identification of parasites including cryptosporidiosis from among the 105 diarrhea patients whose samples were analyzed. Results: We report a 66.7% (70 out of 105) overall parasite prevalence and 16.2% (17 out of 105) prevalence of Cryptosporidium oocysts was found in the patients studied. Fifty-two percent (52.1%) of the patients were HIV positive and the majority of the study population presented with persistent diarrhea (67.4%). High percentages of HIV-positive cases were observed in the 25-34years (44.0%) and the 35- 45 years (28.0%) age groups. Other intestinal parasites found to be causing diarrhea alongside cryptosporidium are hookworm which was observed in 12 (11.4%) patients, Ascaris lumbricoides also in 12 (11.4%) patient, Entamoeba histolytica was found in 11 (10.5%) patients, Giardia lamblia in 5(4.8%) patients, Isospora belli in 5(4.8%), Cyclospora cayetanensis in 4 (3.8%) patients, Strongyloides stercolaris in 2 (1.9%), and Trichuris trichiura was found in 2 (1.9%) patients. Conclusion: Poor hygiene both personal and environmental, poor diagnostic, clinical, prevention, and control skills facilities may have impacted Cryptosporidiosis reported in this study. Opportunistic infections and comorbidities by other parasites were noted in HIV/AIDS among the studied population. Microscopic detection of Cryptosporidium species assists ineffective intervention.

Background: Despite efforts to clamp down the pandemic of HIV/AIDS, its impact is still alarming. Epidemics are increasing due to man-made conflicts and climate-associated disasters causing the movement of non-immune populations to malaria-endemic areas. Urban and peri-urban malaria is now a substantial problem in Africa with Malaria becoming more difficult to manage. Objectives: To outline the pattern of malaria parasites distribution among HIV/AIDS patients in Comboni Hospital, Uganda. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study, designed to investigate the malaria prevalence in 160 febrile HIV/AIDS patients. Thick and thin blood films were made and stained with field stains A and B, guided by standard parasitological methods, and examined microscopically under x 100 oil immersion objective. Results: A total of 160 HIV/AIDS patients were recruited between August and October 2013. The prevalence of Malaria in HIV was 30(19%) of the participants were co-infected with both Malaria and HIV while 130(81%) had only HIV. Most had CD4 cell count between 600-<800 at 79(49%) while those with CD4 cell count below 200 were only 10(5%). The prevalence of HIV and malaria parasites was 33.3% high among working-class people of ages 30-40 years. This could be linked to their occupation which encourages them to work too late at night which exposes them to mosquito bites. Immunosuppression or CD4 level inversely impacted the malaria distribution. Thus low CD4 was associated with high malaria distribution and high malaria distribution was common with participants with low CD4 count. Other significant results are fully discussed. Conclusion: HIV was high among Malaria patients and malaria was high among HIV-infected and AIDS patients. Mosquito net usage was effective in malaria control among those who used them but was ineffective among some age groups characterized by constant stay outside the mosquito net due to alcoholism and a variety of social events which makes people stay outside the nets at nights.

In this work, sand casting was used to obtain high-strength steel AISI-321 by melting alloy AISI304 using sand casting. This is in addition to titanium using an induction furnace, which is considered one of the metal forming processes that originated from the principle of casting in sand molds. In general, Ti will oxidize quickly in the melt if it is exposed to air in typical sand/investment casting processes; Titanium element provides greater resistance to inter granular corrosion. Stainless steel alloy 321, which differs from 304 in that it contains a percentage of titanium, which has given it the property of being used at high temperatures, which has increased the need or demand for stainless steel casting in some industries and due to the difficulty and complexity of producing some pieces or parts using SS304 (wrought) forging alloy by Machines, so that it became necessary to search for a way to improve quality and reduce time and cost, using plumbing technology, although information about this technology is not available in open references. The ability to cast stainless steel is affected by a variety of factors, such as the time and degree of melting, the types of additives, and the time of total solidification. In addition, there are some other casting factors that have a direct impact on the quality of casting stainless steel, such as the sand mold materials, their type, preparation of the sand mold, and the heat treatment steps. This research includes two parts, a theoretical part that includes the steps of sand casting, and the second part related to the practical side, where the effect of some casting factors was studied, which includes the weight and quantity of addition of titanium (300 to 1000 grams), the time of addition and pouring from (3 to 15 minutes), as well as a study of heat treatment and its effect. This is due to the quality of the stainless steel alloy under study. In each experiment, 100 kilograms were used on stainless steel 321 and 304. The practical experiments were completed in several experimental stages, and in each stage, some modifications were made so that they were based on previous results. The results of the chemical analysis of the last five samples showed a gradual increase in the amount of Ti% until it reached about 0.4%. The tensile strength and yield strength were at acceptable values compared to the Wrought SS321 and cast SS (CF) alloys, an austenitic stainless steel, where the lowest value was (200 and 198) MPa and the highest value was (559 and 315) MPa, respectively. The hardness values were between (145 to 149). Key words: sandcasting, Austenitic SS321, SS304, FeTi.

We can say that today the tourism and service sector is one of the fastest growing. The activation of Tourism not only determines a new sector in the structure of the economy, but also plays an important role in strengthening the national economy. The purpose of the research work is to provide the main mechanisms for its further development and rational organization, conducting scientific research related to the present and future of tourist facilities in Turkestan, which are included in the top 10 priority tourist territories of Kazakhstan as the most promising areas included in the state program for the development of the tourism industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2019-2025. The effectiveness of Tourism Development in Turkestan is the main condition for the formation of a modern tourist complex and increasing the contribution of tourism to the economy of Kazakhstan. In order to analyze the development of tourism destinations in Turkestan and the current state of tourist objects, statistical and economic, comparative analysis methods were used. The article analyzes the tourist objects of Turkestan that attract modern tourists. The activities of each tourist object were studied. In addition, the ways to pay attention to what tourist facilities will attract more tourists to Turkestan in the future were considered. For the development of Tourism in Turkestan, which is of social and economic importance, it is important to conduct applied scientific research. For example, 2121.7 thousand inhabitants live in the Turkestan region (January 1, 2023). In January 2023, 2989 people visited the region. That is, it shows that tourists are coming to our city. What direction do tourists come to Turkestan?

Being in a natural environment with favorable conditions, in combination with dosed physical activity, contributes to the healing of the body and is a kind of active rest and a means of attracting to engage in physical activity. This postulate is based on the position that within the framework of any movement in the natural environment, a person has a load on certain muscle groups, which means rest activity. In addition, preparation for long trips is based on periodic physical education classes, in which the necessary physical form is formed. Organized trips allow you to visit different regions of Kazakhstan, see the diversity of natural areas and the way of life of the population. Face real challenges and overcome them and yourself. In addition, sports and recreational tourism is an evidence - based means of substitution and is a tool for combating antisocial phenomena, including drug addiction, testing the self- mprovement, physical, psychological and volitional qualities of a person. Pedestrian, water, Mountain, Ski, equestrian, speleo, velo, Auto-Moto, sailing, each of these types is unique and allows you to improve any of the listed routes.

The example of the "Pyramid of Opportunities" proves that the main methodological principle in teaching should be the principle of "Learning by doing". It is through the implementation of this principle that learning becomes procedural, and abilities are developed that influence the acquisition of competence characteristics by the subject of educational activity, which further allow the individual to successfully integrate into society.
Derecho probatorio de los contratos online automatizados
Authors: Tur Faúndez Carlos
Published: May 2024

Como por todos es conocido, la contratación online, a través de aplicaciones informáticas, constituye, en la actualidad, un fenómeno de masas en constante crecimiento. Bajo el prisma de la teoría de la equivalencia funcional, hay quien puede considerar que el uso de los computadores es instrumental o ancilar del negocio jurídico principal e intrascendente en el plano procesal. En el presente trabajo tratamos de evidenciar que las particularidades de la contratación online automatizada (aquella que se desarrolla a través de aplicaciones web o móviles), generan un patente desequilibrio en favor del proveedor de servicios de la sociedad de la información que es quien dispone de pleno acceso a las fuentes de prueba. La Ley de Enjuiciamiento Civil mantiene una tradición secular, por virtud de la cual, el documento, constituye el elemento sobre el que debe concentrarse el esfuerzo de las partes destinado a la acreditación de los hechos jurídicamente relevantes. Sin embargo, el archivo electrónico presenta características particulares que exigen, a nuestro juicio, una regulación específica. Además, el ciberespacio, que constituye su medio natural, es absolutamente ajeno a territorios y fronteras, lo que determina la concurrencia de serios obstáculos en materia de competencia judicial internacional que, igualmente, son objeto de estudio. Concluye el presente trabajo, con propuestas de reforma legislativa y de innovación tecnológica destinadas al avance de la ciencia jurídica procesal. Las propuestas modificativas se han enfocado hacia la regulación exhaustiva del archivo digital como medio de prueba llamado a hacerse acreedor del protagonismo que, otrora, correspondió al documento manuscrito o impreso.

Aging is one of the central issues of political welfare discussions in Kalaallit Nunaat. While the national policy supports senior adults’ remaining in their own homes for as long as possible, there are a number of challenges to be faced before this goal can be achieved. This article addresses one of these challenges, the ability of seniors to effectively navigate the urban environment in Nuuk. Basedon interviews with older adults, this work focuses on seniors’ experience of the existing design of urban spaces within Nuuk and the possibilities of creating a more elder-friendly environment. Our analysis demonstrates how the current distance to urban centers and shops present challenges to the quality of life among self-sufficient older people. It also highlights how lack of public transport,footpaths, and amenities, such as benches, present obstacles to completing daily activities, like shopping and social engagements, while also generally adding to the difficultly of outdoor pursuits.
La parole de l’eau : symboles marins et répression sexuelle dans Les fous de Bassan
Authors: Chevant Aurélie
Published: May 2024

Cet article explore la signification psychanalytique de mythes marins dans Les fous de Bassan d’Anne Hébert. Complétant les travaux d’Evelyne Letendre et d’Isabelle Boisclair, cette étude examine comment des symboles comme la méduse et la sirène expriment le manque du féminin qui condamne les personnages masculins à un désir inassouvi et une violence incontrôlable. De plus, des symboles comme la petite sirène et le cygne démontrent comment les personnages féminins expriment un désir de rencontre avec le masculin qui est annihilé par le système patriarcal.
Sexualité violente, désir furieux : entre diction et indicible
Authors: Labrousse Noémie
Published: May 2024

En prenant appui sur les textes d’Anne Hébert, sur son écriture, et en analysant les structures phrastiques autant que les interstices typographiques, cet article mettra en évidence une sexualité masculine, violente et bestiale, ébranlée par une fureur féminine, latente et silencieuse. Il s’agira de montrer cette cohabitation et de faire ressortir comment la sensualité désirée par les femmes tend à annihiler progressivement mais avec violence la sexualité jusque-là imposée par les hommes.
Troubles dans la sexualité : « entre-deux » féminin et processus d’asexuation dans Les chambres de bois
Authors: Bourdeau Loic
Published: May 2024

Le présent article souhaite montrer comment le roman Les chambres de bois est construit sur une constante instabilité identitaire résultant en une asexualité. Il s’agit de considérer Catherine comme étant en proie aux autres et non libre de s’affirmer. Ce faisant, elle oscille entre divers statuts (fille, mère, objet) qui l’éloignent en permanence de la sexualité. Qu’elle soit femme-mère, femme-objet ou femme-enfant, l’accès au désir n’est jamais vraiment autorisé et complet.
L’intertexte du 16e siècle de L’île de la Demoiselle d’Anne Hébert : Marguerite de Navarre, André Thevet et François de Belleforest
Authors: La Charité Claude
Published: May 2024

Dans L’île de la Demoiselle, Anne Hébert s’inspire de la légende de Marguerite de Roberval, relatée par quatre textes de la Renaissance. L’originalité de la pièce d’Anne Hébert tient au fait qu’elle tire parti de l’ensemble de ces récits. La dramaturge se montre une lectrice attentive de Marguerite de Navarre, pour ce qui est du personnage de la femme forte, d’André Thevet, s’agissant des toponymes et du motif de l’exil, et de François de Belleforest, pour ce qui est de la cruauté de Roberval et des amours morganatiques de sa pupille. En combinant les éléments fournis par tous les textes à sa disposition, elle a signé la variante littéraire qui est assurément la plus cohérente sur le plan psychologique et la plus fouillée d’un point de vue historique.
Présences du Cantique des Cantiques dans Le tombeau des rois d’Anne Hébert : incorporation et déplacements
Authors: Caillé Anne-Renée
Published: May 2024

S’il a déjà été établi que la Bible a enrichi et inspiré l’oeuvre d’Anne Hébert, la présente étude s’attardera plus précisément aux présences du poème de l’Ancien Testament, le Cantique des Cantiques, au sein du recueil Le tombeau des rois. Nous verrons que les incorporations ponctuelles de différents motifs du texte biblique ne se font pas sans certains déplacements sémantiques qui suggèrent un rapport critique au texte sacré et surtout, à ses récupérations dogmatiques et morales. Au coeur de ce grand poème d’amour se trouvent les germes d’une union profanatrice que la poète prend le parti de faire sourdre, dans un acte de recréation exégétique inusité et lucide.
De la lecture au dialogue : García Lorca dans Un habit de lumière
Authors: Mata Barreiro Carmen
Published: May 2024

Cet article étudie l’exploration de l’univers anthropologique et esthétique de la culture espagnole dans le roman Un habit de lumière d’Anne Hébert, et la façon dont la lecture de l’oeuvre du poète et dramaturge Federico García Lorca, qui faisait partie de sa bibliothèque, enrichit cette approche. La première partie analyse la théâtralité dans ce roman et le dialogue qu’Anne Hébert établit avec certaines pièces de Lorca, dont Le public. Une deuxième partie étudie le passage du réel au mythe à l’aide d’une approche mythocritique. Une attention particulière est accordée aux symboles et mythes associés à la corrida.

Cellular transcripts encode important information regarding cell identity and disease status. The activation of CRISPR in response to RNA biomarkers holds the potential for controlling CRISPR activity with spatiotemporal precision. This would enable the restriction of CRISPR activity to specific cell types expressing RNA biomarkers of interest while preventing unwanted activity in other cells. Here, we present a simple and specific platform for modulating CRISPR activity in response to RNA detection through engineering
Streptococcus pyogenes
Cas9 single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs). sgRNAs are engineered to fold into complex secondary structures that, in the ground state, inhibit their activity. The engineered sgRNAs become activated upon recognising complementary RNAs, thus enabling Cas9 to perform its function. Our approach enables CRISPR activation in response to RNA detection in both HEK293T cells and zebrafish embryos. Iterative design optimisations allowed the development of computational tools for generating sgRNAs capable of detecting RNA sequences of choice. Mechanistic investigations reveal that engineered sgRNAs are cleaved during RNA detection, and we identify key positions that benefit from chemical modifications to improve the stability of engineered sgRNAs

. Our sensors open up novel opportunities for developing new research and therapeutic applications using CRISPR activation in response to endogenous RNA biomarkers.
