“The Jimmy Hoffa of Canada”
Authors: Witwer David
Published: June 2022

This article compares the union careers of the US Teamsters Union leader James R. Hoffa and the head of the Canadian Seafarers International Union (siu), Hal Banks. It focuses on the charges of union corruption that swirled around both men in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The article uses that comparison to consider the predominant understanding of union corruption in the United States, which posits a kind of American exceptionalism in regard to this issue. The similarities and differences between the cases of Hoffa and Banks provide a new consideration of the history of union corruption in Canada. This comparison also offers a new perspective on the divergence between unionization rates in the United States and Canada since 1964.

Cet article compare les carrières syndicales du chef du US Teamsters Union, James R. Hoffa, et du dirigeant du Syndicat international des marins canadiens (siu), Hal Banks. Il se concentre sur les accusations de corruption syndicale qui tournaient autour des deux hommes à la fin des années 1950 et au début des années 1960. L’article utilise cette comparaison pour examiner la compréhension prédominante de la corruption syndicale aux États Unis, qui postule une sorte d’exceptionnalisme américain à l’égard de cette question. Les similarités et les différences entre les cas de Hoffa et and Banks offre une nouvelle considération de l’histoire de la corruption syndicale au Canada. Cette comparaison offre aussi une nouvelle perspective sur la divergence entre les taux de syndicalisation aux États-Unis et au Canada depuis 1964.

Published: June 2022

A fast onset of action and an average period of effectiveness describe the efficacy of lidocaine as a local anaesthetic. Lidocaine is also effective in penetrating the skin and providing an anesthetic on the surface. Long-acting anesthetics, such as bupivacaine, are sometimes recommended for spinal and subterranean anesthesia. Quick start, on the other hand, includes lidocaine. Adrenaline supplements cause absorption to be delayed. Thus a doubling of the length of strong surface anesthesia can be envisaged. For example, for endoscopy, pre-intubation, etc., there are few types that can be used. Lidocaine infusion is used to treat ventricular arrhythmias and is also the best antiarrhythmic medication in Class 1B. (for severe heart muscle atrophy, digitalis injury, cardioversion, or cardiac accumulation). Routine preventive treatment of severe dead heart tissue, however, is not suggested at this stage; Do not be satisfied with the general appreciation for this treatment. Lidocaine was also powerful in treating epilepsy.
Impact of exclosure on the vegetation composition and structure of Northern Ethiopia
Authors: Samson Shimelse  , Hailu Atnafu
Published: June 2022

Land rehabilitation by area exclosure was the fastest and moderate approach of recovering degraded sites. The objective of the study is to investigate the impact of exclosure establishment on the vegetation ecology of the Northern Ethiopia.A stratified preferential sampling design technique with flexible systematic model was used for data collection. Data on vegetation and environmental parameters were gathered from 120 quadrants (90 from restorations or exclosures of different ages and 30 from adjacent free grazing lands), of 20 m x 20 m (400 m2) size. Species richness and the presence or absence of herbaceous plants were recorded like soil samples in a 2 m x 2 m (4 m2) subplot inside each main quadrant from five points, one at each corner and one at the center. A total of 142 plant species belonging to 118 genera and 52 families were identified. All exclosures displayed higher plant species richness, diversity, and aboveground standing biomass compared to the adjacent free grazing lands. Consideration of edaphic (e.g. soil total nitrogen, available phosphorus, CEC, exchangeable bases, soil pH and soil texture) and site (e.g. Stoniness, Grazing) variables will help to optimize the selection of areas for the establishment of future exclosures. Moreover, our study suggests that with time exclosures may increasingly obtain an important role as refugees and species pool similar to church forests and should be protected and managed in a sustainable manner. Substantial numbers of forest species were found to have irregular population structure and are in reduced regeneration status. To prevent local extinction of these species, present efforts of nursery establishment and plantation of indigenous species in the exclosures should be strengthened and extended.
Transition to international energy economic equivalent
Authors: Evgeniy Bryndin
Published: June 2022

Energy resources are key to the economy. Firstly, any processes in the production sector are associated with energy consumption. Energy costs permeate all areas of material production, are the most important and integral part of both core and working capital. Secondly, energy resources are currently scarce and define the limits of economic development. At present, the issues of improving energy efficiency from the sectors of the economy are given great attention. For the implementation of programs to increase economic efficiency, the development of theoretical provisions and methodological foundations of energy economic assessment of production is of great importance, there is a variation in the energy equivalents per waste of production resources offered by standards for different types of energy. Considering energy issues in economic systems, economic energy is not found in the relevant classifications, but experts consider the allocation of such a category in the theory of economic development to be timely, and this category fully meets all economic indicators. To do this, it is necessary to determine the energy equivalent for each energy source. The article assumes the calculation of energy equivalents expressed by rational numbers. The use of energy equivalents allows you to move to a single measure of energy for all types. A single measure of energy allows you to move to a single international currency for financial and economic international cooperation.
Analysis of project financing sources and their effects on projects’ costs in Nigerian construction domain.
Authors: Obi L. E.  , Uwanugo, R. G.  , Uchejiora M Eng
Published: June 2022

This research is on Project Financing in Nigeria. It examines the problems of project financing in the country, which include the following: Lack of adequate sources of finance for the development of projects; lack of information on appropriate sources of finance for projects development; failure of applications to the appropriate finance sources which in most cases result to project abandonment and, or project cost over-run. In attempting to prefer solutions to these problems, a critical analysis of the collected data was carried out using the following decision criteria in carrying out the financial appraisal of the studied projects: Simple inspection method, Cost-Benefit analysis, Equivalent uniform annual cash flow (EUACF), Internal rate of return (IRR), Present value (Worth). The results of the study show that most public projects financed using direct financing method are abandoned due to one problem or another. Contractor financing was, therefore, applied in financing such projects. In conclusion, the research revealed that the economic system in operation determines the source(s), of finance for any project. In view of the findings of the research, it is recommended that a complete re-organization of the existing institutional framework of the project financing sector in the country be carried out.
Interaction between orexin and N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA) receptors in hypertensive and normotensive rats: an insight into predictive biomarkers for hypertension
Authors: Fahmida Bano Abdi  , Kaneez Fatima Shad  , Sara Lal  , Ann M Simpson
Published: June 2022

High Blood Pressure also known as hypertension (HTN) is one of the most common lifestyles based chronic diseases. HTN is a high-risk contributing factor towards stroke or any other cerebrovascular disorder (CVD). Many endogenous chemicals are involved in HTN such as orexin (also known as hypocretin), which is a neuropeptide produced by the neurons located mainly in the hypothalamus. Other areas of the brain such as Locus coeruleus (LC) and Rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) and endogenous chemicals such as neurotransmitters, hormones and enzymes are also directly or indirectly involved in the regulation of HTN. We are essentially focusing on the orexin neurons that are activated by a type of glutamate receptor known as N-Methyl-D-Aspartate (NMDA). This review will discuss the role of molecules such as m-calpain and Jacob, produced because of the interaction between orexin and NMDA receptors in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rats.
Connection between Moisture of Plant Species (Senecio L.) and Elevation in Shan County
Authors: Bing-Hua Liao
Published: June 2022

A key plant species (Senecio L.) not only is a vital multilevel functional medicinal material of indications of respiratory tract infections, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, enteritis, dysentery, but also it is a widely distributed wide plant species. This plant species is widely distributed elevation from 500m to 1500m in six landscapes and vegetation ecosystems in Shan County of China. However, understanding dynamics of moisture of this species is difficult along elevation. This research explained that the connection between moisture of the species and elevation is a significant positive connection from 500m to 1000m (P<0.01) as well as the connection between moisture of this species and elevation is a significant negative connection from 1000m to 1500m (P<0.01). This study provides six ecosystem types and a series of areas ecological adaptation for the finding new medicinal species. Therefore, this study has vital theoretical and practical significance for medicinal plant protection along different elevation and environmental gradient over the spatial-temporal-environmental-disturbance scales (STEDS) in the multilevel green space diversity.

Published: June 2022

Drug and substance abuse has been a thing of concern to the Nigerian Government at all levels as it has continued to affect the lives and subsequently educations of our youths despite all the various measures put in place to stop it. Intense and often misused of drugs leads to addiction which may result to clinically significant impairment or distress, wherein the person involved may also suffer from tolerance and withdrawal. The effect of drug usage among students of higher learning cannot be over emphasized hence the needs to study by comparing the levels of drugs abused by students of tertiary institutions. Some statistical tools; Analysis of variance, Mean plot and bar charts were employed. It is observed that there is significant difference in the type of drugs, institutions and gender. It is also observed that the state university record the highest abuse of drugs and alcohol is the mostly abused substance in all the schools considered.

Published: June 2022

Background: Comorbidities may have a role in Covid-19 patients' deaths. The goal of this research was to determine the impact of comorbidities on the risk of death from COVID-19. Methods: The research took place at one of the Covid-19 patients' referral hospitals, from March 2020 to February 2021, data on inpatients was collected, and a logistic regression analysis was used to find co-morbid COVID-19 in patients at high risk of death. Result: Model 1 predicts the risk of death from covid-19 based on age, sex, and the top ten co-morbid covid-19 with an accuracy of 85.3% and an R2 of 62.4%. With a p-value>0.05, sex (SEX), hypertension (HP), diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiac arrest (CA), anemia (AN), hyperuricemia (HR), and urinary tract infection (UTR) do not affect the probability of death in Covid-19 patients in model 1. Model 2 is based on the variables that affect the risk of death (p-value 0.05) are age (AGE), moderate malnutrition (MM), unspecified malnutrition (MU), obesity (OB), and chronic renal disease (CKD). Model 2 is Ln [ þ / (1-þ) ] = -3,295 +0,046*AGE +0,667*OB +0,611*MM +1,53*MU +1,248*CKD showed an accuracy of 69.4% with an R2 of 17.1%. Conclusion: Model 2 is more effective since it only considers diseases with high mortality risk. The results of the model 2 simulation show that the higher the age and comorbid complications, the greater the risk of death for Covid-19 patients.
The generation of the experimental design
Authors: João Gilberto Corrêa da Silva
Published: June 2022

Texts and teaching of Experimental Statistics emphasize the statistical analysis of experiments and make only references to the conceptual foundation of experimental research. Basic concepts are vaguely and incompletely defined, and experimental designs are presented as a set of recipes from which one must be chosen for each particular experiment. Consequently, inferences derived from the experiment are often biased. A conceptual basis for the experimental research is considered and a rational procedure for generating the experimental design is suggested. The generation of the experimental design is based on the separate definitions of the structures of the experimental factors and the unit factors, and the association of these two structures by randomization and presence of the experimental factors in the sample. This approach leads to the clear identification of the confounding of the effects from these two structures and of the experimental errors that affect the effects of the experimental factors.

Conceptualising Role of the State in Light of Classical Economic Thought
Authors: Mian Ahmad Naeem Salik
Published: June 2022

This paper attempts to analyse and describe the role played by a state in promoting economic growth by contrasting two classical schools of political economy, the Keynesian school of thought and Neo-liberalism. The British economist, John Maynard Keynes proposed optimising market practices under a technocratic system of governance. In recent decades, this influential approach has exposed its vulnerabilities to the revival of neo-liberal laissez-faire arguments. In the age of globalisation, the integration of economies around the world has put new demands on the modern state at the very same time, in many ways, which have reduced their capacities to deal with those demands. The state today is squeezed, on the one side, by the forces of global economy and, on the other side, by the political demands for devolution of power. There is an important role for the state to play in the economic development, whether it is through intervention or deregulation, the ultimate choice lies with the society regarding which of the two forms to follow. In some dramatic role reversals, the yesteryear champions of laissez-faire (the US and UK) are moving towards protectionism, whereas, the earlier advocates (China and Russia) of closed economies are today arguing the case of free and fair international trade and globalisation per se. This is no coincidence as, ironically, both the school of thoughts have a lot in common in that they complement each other in many ways in terms of intellectual ideology.

Published: June 2022

A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é uma doença crônica e silenciosa de elevada prevalência comunitária em que a continuidade do monitoramento é essencial para melhor qualidade de vida e prevenção de agravos associados ao risco cardiovascular. Um dos problemas da monitorização é a incerteza quanto ao diagnóstico bem como o não cadastramento dos portadores dessa patologia na Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). Diante dessa problemática, foi proposta a implementação de um Procedimento Operacional Padrão (POP) para garantir a confirmação do diagnóstico e o tratamento longitudinal do paciente hipertenso, visando a preservação da saúde coletiva, além disso, o Plano Municipal de Saúde do município de São Caetano do Sul (2022-2025) estabelece prioridade na salvaguarda e no manejo da HAS. Assim, foi realizado um estudo observacional transversal no qual foi elaborado um POP baseado em fluxograma organizacional para ser aplicado pelos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde nos usuários da UBS Maria Corbeta Segatto visando padronizar a conduta de acolhimento e acompanhamento em conjunto com a ESF, a fim de contribuir com a meta estabelecida pelos indicadores publicados no plano municipal. Com isso, a sugestão conceptiva de POP foi proposta com foco na organização atuante, sedimentada e direcionada da atividade profissional da equipe de forma a manifestar melhor grau de expertise na ação de atendimento e melhor expressividade da qualidade de assistência recebida pelo munícipe.

Published: June 2022

O Brasil é um país com diversidade natural e de muitos locais turísticos. As pessoas que buscam conhecer estes locais, geralmente contatam agências de viagem, as quais realizam o serviço intermediário deste ciclo. A composição turística da região Noroeste do RS é predominantemente de turismo emissivo, buscou-se através do estudo analisar a qualidade dos serviços prestados pelas empresas de turismo emissivo. A metodologia é de base exploratória, utilizou dados bibliográficos, e descritiva, através da realização de questionários e entrevistas. Foram aplicados questionários a 216 participantes entrevistados. Como principais resultados constatou-se que a qualidade dos serviços das agências turísticas não está sendo satisfatória na maioria das dimensões avaliadas. Após a análise dos Gaps, foi possível verificar os pontos mais críticos e apontar sugestões de melhorias, tanto na qualidade dos serviços aos clientes como na forma de gerenciamento das agências estudadas. Apesar do impacto das forças externas sobre a prestação dos serviços e resultados com índices insatisfatórios, as agências de viagem possuem uma base de gestão estruturada, com diferenciais competitivos focados no cliente e planos de investimentos futuros.

Published: June 2022

Tempeh é um alimento fermentado de grãos de soja e tem sua origem na Indonésia principalmente na ilha de Java, o qual tem despertado interesse devido ao seu valor nutritivo e funções regulatórias do metabolismo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi elaborar tempeh, em escala laboratorial, utilizando os tubérculos de junça (Cyperus esculentus) e grãos de soja inoculado com o fungo Rhizopus oligosporus. Os parâmetros L*, a* e b* das cores dos tempeh variam respectivamente de 71,70 até 85,07, de 0,99 para 2,33, e de 11,18 até 19,75. A dureza variou de 24,90 a 41,37N; coesividade de 0,32 a 0,49%; elasticidade de 0,41 a 0,45 e mastigabilidade entre 3,39 a 8,57N. Em relação em todos os atributos da avaliação sensorial, o tempeh assado com sal contendo 5% da junça apresentou maior aceitabilidade entre os provadores comparando aos demais tempeh. A adição da junça causou alterações na cor, sabor, aparência e resultaram em tempeh mais duros e menos coesos. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho indicam viabilidade de produção do tempeh contendo a junça, sob o ponto de vista tecnológico e sensorial, pois a sua aceitação foi satisfatória perante a um público considerável.
Sistema para monitoramento do abastecimento residencial
Authors: Costa Rosendo Lucas Santana da , Sousa Reudismam Rolim de , Lima Janneson José Ferreira de , Silva Verônica Maria Lima
Published: June 2022

Devido ao alto consumo de água e por se tratar de um recurso importante para sociedade, é buscado meios para contornar o alto consumo. Com isso,  muitas cidades detêm um sistema de rodízio no abastecimento, que tem o objetivo de preservar o recurso hídrico, diminuindo o consumo de água. Esse sistema consiste na divisão da cidade em setores, em que ocorre o corte do suprimento de água periodicamente nos setores da rede de distribuição,  onde são passados N dias com o abastecimento de água e X dias sem o fornecimento de recursos hídricos. Infelizmente, a população de algumas cidades sofrem com a dificuldade de identificar o início do período de abastecimento dos setores, o que acaba comprometendo o gerenciamento de água residencial das pessoas. Considerando esta problemática, este trabalho visa apresentar o desenvolvimento de um sistema web e mobile intitulado SMAArT, cujo objetivo é auxiliar com o monitoramento da distribuição do recurso hídrico e prover informação para população acerca do abastecimento.
Iniciando la comparación internacional para formar profesionales en intervención social: una experiencia de descentramiento, de Francia a Chile
Authors: Denecheau Benjamin , Pochetti Irene
Published: June 2022

Este artículo contribuye a la reflexión sobre la iniciación a la comparación internacional como motor de aprendizaje. A partir del caso concreto de una formación profesionalizante de grado universitario en intervención social en Francia, y de un viaje de estudios a Santiago de Chile, el artículo aborda la iniciación a la comparación internacional para alumnos de esta formación. ¿Cómo introducir a los y las estudiantes a este proceso? ¿Cómo experimentar este proceso puede conducir a una mejor comprensión de este? ¿Cuáles son los aportes y las dificultades de esta iniciación? Este artículo trata de una reflexión exploratoria. Más que la demostración de los resultados de una encuesta, aborda un proceso de objetivación de estas reflexiones sobre nuestras prácticas docentes. Se basa en observaciones realizadas antes, durante y después del viaje de estudios, así como en un taller de escritura organizado en varias sesiones con un grupo de estudiantes. Desarrollaremos el argumento de que el viaje de estudios y las lecciones aprendidas que lo acompañan constituyen un espacio de iniciación y de experimentación de la comparación. Daremos cuenta de las experiencias que lo favorecen, así como de las limitaciones del enfoque y de las precauciones que pueda requerir.

Une demarche comparative elaboree au fil de l'experience du terrain
Authors: Lemoine Maryan
Published: June 2022

Par un récit analytique, nous retraçons la généalogie, puis, pas à pas, le déroulement d’une recherche en cours, présentant ainsi les jalons d’une démarche comparative élaborée au fil du temps.Après des études concernant la mobilisation face au décrochage scolaire en France, se développe une recherche en Nouvelle Calédonie afin d’établir des données selon des méthodes de type ethnographique, pour donner à voir et à comprendre qui sont les décrocheurs et qui se mobilisent avec eux. À ce stade, l’intention n’est pas d’asservir le terrain à un projet comparatif. Mais en se déployant sur trois unités d’investigation distinctes, l’enquête dévoile bientôt une dimension infra du travail comparatif, et reconfigure la démarche et les choix méthodologiques.Au cours de cette « aventure méthodique », c’est alors par l’actualisation en situation, de préventions méthodologiques, que les recueils sont menés. Le choix d’en passer par l’écriture de monographies permet de les affiner. Les trois unités sont alors pensées comme en constellation, afin d’articuler l’analyse entre les niveaux infra et initial de la démarche comparative. Une attention particulière porte enfin sur l’énonciation afin de se garder du risque d’un emballement « compar’hâtif » qui détournerait de l’intention scientifique et de la compréhension de ce qui est exposé.
La intervención — y las intervenciones
Authors: Zúñiga B. Ricardo
Published: June 2022

En esta nota sobre la intervención, quisiéramos subrayar dos contenidos implícitos que definen las divergencias de punto de vista respecto al concepto mismo. Uno es la división que expresa el hablar de ella en un singular abstracto o en plural. El singular refiere a una visión universalista, necesariamente distante de contextos. La otra hace del plural concreto una referencia explícita a la constelación de relaciones sociales que la definen, incluyendo actores directos e indirectos. En esta segunda visión, insistimos en el análisis de un sujeto colectivo, que hace de ella una acción de sociedad, en la que los supuestos culturales son el telón de fondo de las relaciones interculturales e internacionales que la sitúan y que hacen visibles la diversidad de actores que en ella intervienen.
Percepción de la violencia intragénero en profesionales del ámbito social de la provincia española de Ourense
Authors: Rodríguez Otero Luis Manuel
Published: June 2022

Históricamente se ha considerado que la violencia es un asunto exclusivo de parejas heterosexuales. Sin embargo, diversos estudios evidencian también su existencia en parejas LGBTI, así como una multitud de mitos y estereotipos respecto a este colectivo y sus relaciones sentimentales, los cuales pueden evidenciarse en profesionales y a nivel asistencial, favoreciendo la revictimización. Así mismo, algunos autores señalan que en los entornos ruralizados estas circunstancias se agudizan. Mediante un estudio exploratorio empírico-descriptivo y utilizando una encuesta de elaboración propia, se ha analizado la percepción respecto a la violencia intragénero que poseen 63 profesionales del ámbito social de la provincia española de Ourense. Tras analizar los resultados se plantea la importancia de incorporar esta violencia en los programas de formación dirigidos a profesionales del ámbito social, especialmente trabajadores sociales.
Discusiones,tensiones y propuestas para la intervención social con jóvenes: Una mirada desde equipos profesionales en el área de la salud
Authors: Hernández M. Natalia , Véliz B. Camila
Published: June 2022

Este artículo es resultado de una investigación realizada desde el Departamento de Trabajo Social de la Universidad Alberto Hurtado. En él se consideraron las nociones de intervención social, jóvenes, equipos profesionales de centros de salud, en pos de la construcción del objeto indagatorio. Se buscó tensionar las nociones mencionadas, en búsqueda del reconocimiento de las acciones de intervención cotidianas diseñadas por los equipos de profesionales vinculados a centros de salud. A través del ejercicio, fue posible reconocer tensiones que configuran las acciones de los equipos profesionales y que se instalan como dispositivos de intervención. Se aprecian conjunciones de nociones clásicas y contemporáneas acerca de los jóvenes (mirada de etapa versus reconocimiento de actoría), de las acciones de transformación, entre otras. Finalmente, se presentan reflexiones que apuntan a colaborar en la operatoria de procesos de intervensión que asuman en su centro la complejidad y las tensiones de los contextos actuales.
Impasses éticos de las políticas sociales de activación
Authors: Gonin Audrey , Grenier Joseé , Lapierre Josée-Anne
Published: June 2022

Desde hace más de veinte años, importantes transformaciones han sido efectuadas en el seno de las políticas sociales implementadas en América del Norte, Oceanía y Europa del Este. Este viraje político puede ser comprendido como un remplazo de las formas que adquiría el Estado-providencia por el modelo del Estado social activo. En un primer momento, este artículo se consagrará a la descripción de las principales características de las políticas sociales de activación. Más adelante, se analizarán los impases éticos que estas políticas presentan a partir de investigaciones sobre profesionales de la intervención social que trabajan en el marco de estas políticas y sobre la experiencia de sus destinatarios.
Dilemáticas contemporáneas sobre pobreza y desigualdad. Desafío disciplinar para el trabajo social
Authors: Fernández Castrillo Beatriz
Published: June 2022

En el presente artículo se conceptualiza la noción de pobreza desde una perspectiva multidimensional y se observan sus posibles efectos en los modos de interacción social. La hipótesis que se expone es que el fenómeno de la desigualdad, consecuencia inevitable de la pobreza en su acepción ampliada, irrumpe por su extensión y persistencia en la calidad de vida de las personas y repercute en la vida cotidiana. Para el análisis de esta complejidad contemporánea, se realiza una revisión teórica en torno al concepto de pobreza y desigualdad social en función de las lógicas de interdependencia y reproducción que tienen origen en el mercado, la sociedad y el Estado; tales como exclusión social, activos, estructura de oportunidades y vulnerabilidad. A su vez, se repasan las formas de medición de la pobreza más frecuentes en la literatura especializada: línea de pobreza, necesidades básicas, activos-estructura de oportunidades y medición multidimensional de la pobreza y se expone el debate siempre polémico en torno a las políticas sociales. Al finalizar se intenta realizar una lectura crítica de esta problemática desde la perspectiva teórico metodológica del Trabajo Social con la pretensión de contribuir a la instrumentalidad de las prácticas disciplinares.
La razón gubernamental de la locura: La intervención en salud mental en Chile
Authors: Castro Alejandro
Published: June 2022

Reconociendo el carácter valioso que ha tenido la salud mental en los últimos veinte años en Chile, el Plan Nacional de Salud Mental, desarrollado a partir del año 2000, ha generado un cambio estructural y sustantivo en la política pública de salud que trata las enfermedades mentales. Las directrices de esta iniciativa generada en el seno de la psiquiatría, la psicología, el trabajo social, entre otras disciplinas, ha configurado nuevas formas de intervención que se centran en la búsqueda por el bienestar de las personas en sus propias comunidades. Sin embargo, estas nuevas formas de intervención se han transformado en nuevas mentalidades de gobierno que favorecerán otro marco de comprensión del fenómeno de la locura, una especie de razón gubernamental. A partir del análisis foucaultiano, develaremos algunas inflexiones que la salud mental hoy en día desarrolla al alero de sus intervenciones biopsicosociales, y cómo desde ahí, más que una perpetua liberación de la institución total, encontramos prácticas de control y vigilancia, ahora virtualizadas en la comunidad.

Authors: Bustamante Roa Miguel Ángel , Garrido-Carrasco Claudia
Published: June 2022

El artículo tiene como objetivo visibilizar los resultados de una investigación cualitativa acerca de las experiencias de discriminación hacia personas transgénero en Chile, desde una perspectiva de derechos humanos, en tanto horizonte ético de la disciplina de Trabajo Social. A partir de un enfoque epistemológico construccionista y queer, se articulan elementos centrales de la teoría feminista, para comprender los efectos del menosprecio social que sufren las personas trans, señalando aquellos espacios públicos donde es más intensa la violencia hacia ellas. Lo anterior permite arribar a reflexiones disciplinarias que resitúan la noción de reconocimiento y dignidad humana para el desarrollo de intervenciones sociales.
Trabajo social y educación sexual integral. Entre rutinas y prácticas innovadoras
Authors: Fernández Esteban Julián
Published: June 2022

El artículo identifica y analiza las modalidades de participación del Trabajo Social en escenarios escolares públicos de gestión estatal del nivel secundario en La Plata, Argentina. Mediante la recuperación de experiencias ligadas a la docencia universitaria, se problematizan las relaciones entre agentes del Trabajo Social (profesionales/practicantes) y niñas, niños y adolescentes escolarizados. Partiendo de considerar a la escuela como un espacio estratégico para la implementación de políticas públicas vinculadas a la protección y promoción de los derechos de niñas, niños y adolescentes, se identifican las condiciones para que estos sujetos sean reconocidos en su capacidad para pensar y tomar decisiones respecto a sus vidas. Desde esta perspectiva analítica, se indaga en la dimensión educativa del Trabajo Social, en la incidencia de la perspectiva de género en las intervenciones de los agentes profesionales y en los aportes de la disciplina para abordar tópicos vinculados a la sexualidad.

Marsilea crenata Presl. leaves contain phytoestrogens that is suspected to play a role in increasing bone formation. Bone formation activity is defined by the expression of Osterix, a transcription factor that plays a key role in bone development. The aim of this study is to show that the ethyl acetate fraction of Marsilea crenata Presl. leaves can increase bone formation process in hFOB 1.19 cells in a TNF-α dependent manner, by measurement of Osterix. The hFOB 1.19 cells were grown in 24-well microplates and treated with 10 ng/ml TNF-α for 24 hours. The ethyl acetate fraction of Marsilea crenata Presl. leaves were also added in concentrations of 62.5, 125, and 250 ppm. A positive control was employed, at a concentration of 2.5 g/L of genistein. The expression of osterix was examined using an immunocytochemistry technique with CLSM to assess bone forming activity. The results show that ethyl acetate fraction Marsilea crenata Presl. leaves can boost osterix expression in hFOB 1.19 cells, with optimal concentration was 250 ppm at p<0.005. The ethyl acetate fraction of Marsilea crenata Presl. leaves can increase Osterix in osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell, indicating improved bone forming activity.

Objective: Locally advanced Oral squamous cell carcinoma OSCC has a poor prognosis, surgery is mainline for treatment. The role of induction chemotherapy is still controversial. Methodology: This is a prospective study that included 25 patients with locally advanced OSCC who received induction chemotherapy with cisplatin, docetaxel & 5-FU (TPF) protocol regimen followed by surgical intervention. The epidemiological, surgical, and oncological outcomes of all the included patients were analyzed. Results: one patient showed no response, 18 patients had a partial response while 6 patients showed pathological complete response (pCR). Five out of the six patients who achieved pCR did not need reconstructive surgery and also five out of those 6 patients were operated on through a less destructive transoral approach. Consequently, those patients had less operative time, blood loss, hospital stay, and significantly less time to start oral feeding. The median disease-free survival was 15 (12-18) months in patients who attained pCR and 13 (5-24) months in the non pCR group. Conclusion: Pathological complete response after induction chemotherapy for locally advanced OSCC is associated with improvement in disease-free survival, less destructive surgery, and less need for flap reconstruction.

Introduction: The study explored effectiveness of emotional intelligence training on resilience of parents with abnormal children in Tehran. Methods: This is an applied research conducted using a quasi-experimental method with control and experimental groups. The statistical population consisted of all parents of abnormal children in exceptional schools of Tehran. To determine the sample size, 120 individuals including 60 pairs of parents of abnormal children were selected. The samples were randomly selected from 5 exceptional schools in Tehran. As a pre-test, Connor and Davidson (2003) resilience questionnaires were filled by the subjects. The experimental group underwent emotional intelligence training for 20 sessions of 1.5 hours (two sessions per week). The control group did not receive any training. After the training course, the resilience of both groups was re-measured. The data was analyzed via SPSS. Results: Emotional intelligence training was effective in increasing resilience of parents with abnormal children (p = 0.001). In addition, the average resilience of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder was significantly higher than the parents of children with physical and intellectual disabilities. However, there was no significant difference in the mean resilience between the parents of children with physical and intellectual disabilities.

From visual data, artificial intelligence (AI) can extract complicated information. Histopathology pictures of gastrointestinal (GI) and liver cancer provide a large quantity of data that human observers can only decipher in part. AI permits the in-depth study of digitized histological slides of GI and liver cancer, complementing human observers, and has a wide variety of clinically useful applications. First, AI can recognize tumor tissue automatically, alleviating pathologists' ever-increasing labor. Furthermore, AI can capture prognostically significant tissue characteristics and so predict clinical prognosis across GI and liver cancer types, perhaps surpassing pathologists' capabilities.

In the current context, the importance of having human capital capable of responding in a concrete and effective way to events that require a research profile has become evident, being essential to have the ability to materialize intellectual virtues in favor of general well-being. However, this is a difficult objective to carry out, provided that there is a lack of scientific training aimed at encouraging future professionals to be high-level researchers, explained by the significant differences between the transversal competences that they should have, in this case, in university higher education. Mainly, the cognitive instrumental competences, manifest the basic and essential characteristics, highly linked to the development of the scientific method. In this sense, the present work shows the diagnosis started in march 2019 and concluded in april 2020, regarding the existing heterogeneity in the cognitive competences for research that the participants should have (ideally), regarding what they manifest when they are in the process of preparing a thesis (actual status); as part of the research courses in the business sciences career and within the framework of the andragogic learning process.
