Objective: To measure the outcome of emergency vascular surgery performed by general surgeons, and to identify preventable causes of mortality.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted at the General Surgery Department of Mayo Hospital, King Edward Medical University, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised data between January 2014 and May 2019 related to cases regardless of age and gender that required emergency vascular surgery after diagnosis by a consultant surgeon at the surgical emergency. The cases were analysed from admission till discharge. Data was analysed using SPSS 20.
Results: Of the 135 cases, 127(94%) were males. The overall mean age was 28.8+11.5 years (range: 14-63 years). Mean duration of hospital stay was 11+3.92 days (range: 4-22 days). Three major peripheral arteries injured were brachial 32(38.5%), popliteal 55(40.7%) and femoral 20(20.7%), with more than half with complete transection 75(55.6%). Vascular repairs done were primary anastomosis 45(33.3%), reverse saphenous vein graft 68(50.4%), embolectomy 4(3%) and amputation 18(13.3%). Limb salvage rate and mortality was 101(74.8%) and 6(4.4%), respectively. Complications occurred in 38(28.1%) cases, with 24(18%) wound infections and 9(6.7%) myonecrosis. Factors leading to poor outcome/complications were Glasgow Coma Scale score <12 (p=0.01), referred case (p=0.04), significant bleeding (p=0.004), haemoglobin <9 at presentation (p=0.001), bone fracture (p=0.01), involvement of lower limb (p=0.003) and late presentation (p=0.003).
Conclusion: Late presentation in hospital was the major modifiable factor improvement of which could lead to better outcome, apart from the early and proper surgical intervention.

Authors: Hinteregger Viona Joseph , Schwab David Florian
Published: March 2022

Regarding conflict management, the essay offers the viewpoint of urban society. Theories based on Thomas and Kilmann in response to the features of these two components, Thomas and Kilmann offered five conflict management approaches: rivalry, cooperation, compromise, avoidance, and accommodation. In order to be effective at dispute resolution, you'll need a diverse range of skills and attributes. For the classification of conflict management techniques, a two-dimensional taxonomy was developed. When it comes to conflict resolution, there are two aspects to consider: cooperation and assertiveness. Both of these characteristics are defined by a person's attempts to satisfy the needs of others when in the middle of a disagreement.

. One of the important cycles for health organizations and other business entities is budgeting where the budget can help activities to be planned and provide an overview for implementers regarding the number of funds to be operationalized to realize an activity, especially in health organization services so that the realization of activity with a plan will running according to the budget set. Health organizations need to create a budget which is a visualization of the activition process with a sketch of the plan such as a budget map in the annual budget. The budget aims to encourage, facilitate and coordinate economic activities in accelerating the acceleration of a service. The method used is library research or literature review. The results of the study conclude that the budget can provide direction as a working guide and provide targets to be achieved by the health organization's service activities in the future as well as the budget as a comparison or benchmark in assessing the realization of the health organization's service activities, strengths, and weaknesses.

Published: March 2022

Purpose Chest pain, abdominal pain, and headache are common symptoms associated with critical illness. Here, we aimed to evaluate predictors associated with critical illness in young males of the Republic of Korea Army. MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed previously healthy young males with chest pain, abdominal pain, or headaches who visited Armed Forces Seoul District Hospital between January 2019 and December 2020. Critical illness was defined as a condition that required hospitalization, a procedure or surgery, or referral to a tertiary hospital. The symptoms and signs of critical illness were evaluated.ResultsOf the 762 enrolled patients, a critical illness was diagnosed in 45 patients (5.9%). Among chest pain signs, palpitation (odds ratio [OR], 22.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.08–102.4; p < 0.001), exertional dyspnea (OR, 16.3; 95% CI, 3.38¬–78.8; p = 0.001), duration (> 5 minutes) (OR, 7.54; 95% CI, 1.93–29.49; p = 0.004), and squeezing type (OR, 5.28; 95% CI, 1.11–25.11; p = 0.037) were significantly associated with critical illness. Among abdominal pain signs, right-lower-quadrant tenderness (OR, 11.87; 95% CI, 4.671–31.87; p < 0.001) was an alarming sign. For headaches, criticality was low (1.5%), and half of patients with critical illness were diagnosed incidentally regardless of headache.Conclusion We identified symptoms and signs significantly associated with critical illness in young male patients. This study might serve as a reference for deciding when to transfer soldiers in the field to a rear hospital, thereby contributing to the welfare and combat power of soldiers.
Rabindranath Tagore’s Philosophy of Education and it’s Influence on Indian Education
Authors: Naseer Ahmad Mir
Published: March 2022

Rabindranath Tagore had firm belief in self-realization. He believed that the man should live for the “ultimate truth” which liberates us from cycle of birth and death. The aim of education too must be self-realization He himself was a writer and a saint, who had, through his imagination and insight, realized the universal soul in himself and in nature. He believed that this realization was the end of education. Because the universal soul is the root of our own soul, man’s aim in life is to succeed in that universal soul of that all human beings are elements. The evolution of nature is consciously or
unconsciously steers us towards this universal soul, a processes that can be helped by education. Though it's not assisted, the progress towards the universal soul remain continue, on the other hand individuals will be deprived of self-realization. It is therefore evident that Rabindranath Tagore’s educationally philosophy is associate adjunct of his general philosophy of life. He believed that each individual is one who has capabilities of progressing towards the Super individual and the universal soul. His conception of the universal soul bore clear imprint of the sacred book Gita and Upanishadic philosophies.

Effect of 3.5 wt% NaCl and Cathodic Charging on the Atomic Strain Distribution of a Plastically Deformed AA 7004
Authors: Agrawal Rahul Kumar , Raja V. S.
Published: March 2022

The effects of environments in altering the atomic strain distribution in AA 7004 while subjected to slow strain rate testing to environmentally assisted cracking are investigated. Two different temper conditions—one where predominantly G.P. zones are present and the other with predominantly η′/η precipitates were chosen for the present study. Three different test environments—glycerol (Gly), 3.5 wt% NaCl (OCP), and 3.5 wt% NaCl with 100 mV cathodic charging vs. open-circuit potential (CP) were used. Under the above environmental conditions, the alloy aged at 140°C for 24 h, containing predominantly G.P. zones, showed the existence of the tensile nonshear components of the strain. On the other hand, the alloy aged at 140°C for 48 h, containing predominantly η′/η precipitates, showed only one of the two nonshear strain components that were tensile in nature, with a simultaneous reduction in the shear component of strain. The work highlights that the effects of the environment on the deformation behavior of the alloy are evident by way of alterations in strain distribution at the atomic level, which could possibly explain the increase in dynamic recovery for the microstructure containing primarily the G.P. zones, and the decrease in dynamic recovery for microstructures consisting predominantly of η′/η precipitates.
Securities Litigation Event Studies in the Covid Volatility Regime
Authors: Feinstein Steven , Villanueva O. Miguel
Published: March 2022

Event studies play a central role in class action securities fraud litigation. Event studies are used to assess market efficiency, price impact, loss causation, and damages, all of which are essential elements of a securities fraud claim. However, a substantial increase in market-wide volatility, such as what happened in 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic, can render the standard event study methodology unreliable. In these periods, the usual distributional assumptions for t-tests of significance produce too many false positives. In this paper, we examine the extent of the problem and propose a solution that employs the empirical distribution of the t-statistic during the Covid period to adjust the critical test statistic value. We demonstrate this methodology with an application using the 19 constituents of the consumer durables index S5CODU in PreCovid and Covid period samples, and with an evaluation of earnings announcement effects on stock prices. We show the methodology restores correct test size, eliminating excess spurious significance, while preserving substantial test power to correctly identify significant events in the Covid period.

The Genus Dichodon (Caryophyllaceae) in Turkey
Authors: KESKİN Mustafa
Published: March 2022

Dichodon (Bartl. ex Rchb.) Rchb. is a small genus and was formerly included in Cerastium. However, the first specimens of this genus were introduced to the literature as Stellaria. Dichodon, taxonomically, remains in between Cerastium and Stellaria genera. Although there are 16 identified species worldwide, the status of some of them is doubtful. There are three species identified so far in Turkey. In this study, the taxonomic status of the species belonging to the genus Dichodon is discussed. A species previously mentioned as a synonym has been validated. The distribution of all species in Turkey is shown on the maps and scientific Turkish names are suggested for the species. In addition, a new identification key was proposed for the first time and herbarium photographs of the species were added to the study.

Abstract. During the West African summer monsoon, pollutants emitted in urbanized coastal areas modify cloud cover and precipitation patterns. The Dynamics-Aerosol-Chemistry-Cloud Interactions in West Africa (DACCIWA) field campaign provided numerous aircraft-based and ground-based observations, which are used here to evaluate two experiments made with the coupled WRF–CHIMERE model, integrating both the direct and indirect aerosol effect on meteorology. During one well-documented week (1–7 July 2016), the impacts of anthropogenic aerosols on the diurnal cycle of low-level clouds and precipitation are analyzed in detail using high and moderate intensity of anthropogenic emissions in the experiments. Over the continent and close to major anthropogenic emission sources, the breakup time of low-level clouds is delayed by 1 hour, and the daily precipitation rate decreased by 7.5 % with the enhanced anthropogenic emission experiment (with high aerosol load). Despite the small modifications on daily average of low-level cloud cover (+2.6 %) with high aerosol load compared to moderate, there is an increase by more than 20 % from 14:00 to 22:00 UTC on hourly average. Moreover, modifications of the modeled low-level cloud and precipitation rate occur far from the major anthropogenic emission sources, to the south over the ocean and to the north up to 11∘ N. The present study adds evidence to recent findings that enhanced pollution levels in West Africa may reduce precipitation.
An Early-Mid Holocene process of regional desertification recorded in aeolian sediments from the northern slope of the middle Himalayan Mountains

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Aeolian sediments, a sensitive paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental archive, are widely distributed over the Tibetan Plateau. In the northern slope of the Himalayan Mountains, however, the potential linkages between the aeolian processes, climatic changes, and the processes of desertification during the Holocene are not well understood. Here, we use an aeolian record from the northern slope of the middle Himalayan Mountains to investigate the influences of paleoclimate and paleoenvironment during the Early-Mid Holocene through the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, magnetic parameters, color variations, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and grain size parameters. Glacial sediments, weathering products, the surface of lack of vegetation cover, and alluvium and ancient lacustrine sediments had provided the sources for the aeolian sediments. The strengthened Indian monsoon intensity, dry and warm climate, and sparse vegetation cover accelerated the rapid expansion of desertification between ~11 and 9.6 ka B.P.. The Indian monsoon intensity weakened between 9.6 and 6.3 ka B.P., the warm and humid climate and increased vegetation cover decelerated the rapid expansion of desertification. Influenced by the weakened Indian monsoon intensity, warm and humid climate, increased vegetation cover, and limited sources, the desertification decelerated further between 6.3 and ~4.5 ka B.P.. Further, the linkage and interplay between changes in the Indian monsoon, vegetation cover, sources, and landforms play a key role in aeolian processes and regional processes of desertification in the northern slope Himalayan Mountains during the Early-Mid Holocene.

Published: March 2022

Abstract. We present a novel application of empirical methodologies that significantly reduce the chronological uncertainty of a low latitude-high altitude Alpine ice core record obtained in 2011 from the glacier Alto dell’Ortles (3859 m, Eastern Alps, Italy). A preliminary absolute timescale based on a peak in 3H activity, and 210Pb and 14C analyses on carbonaceous particles and organic remains provided evidence of one of the oldest Alpine ice core records spanning the last ~7000 years, back to the last Northern Hemisphere Climatic Optimum. Here we combine three empirical methods that provide an additional number of time markers that corroborate the multimillennial nature of the Alto dell’Ortles ice cores while significantly decreasing the uncertainty of the chronology. First, 14C analysis of an additional organic fragment (a charred spruce needle) discovered next to the basal ice provides an age (232 ± 126 BCE) which agrees with previous 14C dates in the oldest part of the record. Second, a new millennial-scale high resolution atmospheric Pb depositional record was used to synchronize the Alto dell’Ortles cores with an accurately-dated (±5 years) Pb record from an array of Arctic ice cores during the ~200 BCE to ~1900 CE time period. This match resulted in a shift of the initial Alto dell’Ortles timescale ~200 years earlier, but still within the initial time uncertainty. Third, novel seasonally resolved pollen records from the upper firn/ice portion of the Alto dell’Ortles cores were combined with δ18O and dust annual variations to refine the dating for the 20th century by means of an automatic algorithm (Straticounter; between 2011 and 1927 CE) and visual counting (1926–1900 CE). The time markers obtained by these three methods were combined in a continuous timescale by running a Montecarlo based fit (COPRA model). This Alto dell’Ortles revised chronology shows a significantly reduced uncertainty, between ±1 and ±4 years after 1927 CE, and between a maximum of ±100 years to a minimum of ±5 years between 1927 CE and 200 BCE by conservative estimates. An investigation of the revised chronology by means of a simple 1-D flow model suggests that non-steady-state conditions (e.g., changes in past snow accumulation rate) need to be considered to provide a full physical explanation of the age-depth relationship obtained. The new revised chronology will allow the constraint of the Holocene climatic and environmental histories emerging from this high-altitude glacial archive of Central Europe. The novel methodologies may also be adopted to build or improve the chronologies of other ice cores extracted from-low latitude/high-altitude glaciers that typically suffer from larger dating uncertainties compared with well dated polar records.
An updated assessment of past and future warming over France based on a regional observational constraint

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Building on CMIP6 climate simulations, updated global and regional observations, and recently introduced statistical methods, we provide an updated assessment of past and future warming over France. Following the IPCC AR6 and recent global scale studies, we combine model results with observations to constrain climate change at the regional scale. Over Mainland France, the forced warming in 2020 wrt 1900–1930 is assessed to be 1.66 [1.41 to 1.90] °C, i.e., in the upper range of the CMIP6 estimates, and is almost entirely human-induced. A refined view of the seasonality of this past warming is provided through updated daily climate normals. Projected warming in response to an intermediate emission scenario is assessed to be 3.8 °C (2.9 to 4.8 °C) in 2100, and rises up to 6.7 [5.2 to 8.2] °C in a very high emission scenario, i.e., substantially higher than in previous ensembles of global and regional simulations. Winter and summer warming are expected to be about 15 % lower than, and 30 % higher than the annual mean warming, respectively, for all scenarios and time periods. This work highlights the importance of combining various lines of evidence, including model and observed data, to deliver the most reliable climate information. This refined regional assessment can feed adaptation planning for a range of activities and provides additional rationale for urgent climate action. Code is made available to facilitate replication over other areas or political entities.
A new estimate of oceanic CO2 fluxes by machine learning reveals the impact of CO2 trends in different methods
Authors: Zeng Jiye , Matsunaga Tsuneo , Shirai Tomoko
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Global oceans have absorbed a substantial portion of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere. Data-based machine learning (DML) estimates for the oceanic CO2 sink have become an import part of the Global Carbon Budget in recent years. Although DML models are considered objective as they impose very few subjective conditions in optimizing model parameters, they face the challenge of data scarcity problem when applied to mapping ocean CO2 concentrations, from which air-sea CO2 fluxes can be computed. Data scarcity forces DML models to pool multiple years’ data for model training. When the time span extends to a few decades, the result could be largely affected by how ocean CO2 trends are obtained. This study extracted the trends using a new method and reconstructed monthly surface ocean CO2 concentrations and air-sea fluxes in 1980–2020 with a spatial resolution of 1×1 degree. Comparing with six other products, our results show a smaller oceanic sink and the sink in early and late year of the modelled period could be overestimated if ocean CO2 trends were not well processed by models. We estimated that the oceanic sink has increased from 1.79 PgC yr-1 in 1980s to 2.58 PgC yr-1 in 2010s with a mean acceleration of 0.027 PgC yr-2.
From emission scenarios to spatially resolved projections with a chain of computationally efficient emulators: coupling of MAGICC (v7.5.1) and MESMER (v0.8.3)

Published: March 2022

Abstract. Producing targeted climate information at the local scale, including major sources of climate change projection uncertainty for diverse emissions scenarios, is essential to support climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. Here, we present the first chain of computationally efficient Earth system model (ESM) emulators that allow for the translation of any greenhouse gas emission pathway into spatially resolved annual mean temperature anomaly field time series, accounting for both forced climate response and natural variability uncertainty at the local scale. By combining the global mean, emissions-driven emulator MAGICC with the spatially resolved emulator MESMER, ESM-specific and constrained probabilistic emulated ensembles can be derived. This emulator chain can hence build on and extend large multi-ESM ensembles such as the ones produced within the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The main extensions are threefold. (i) A more thorough sampling of the forced climate response and the natural variability uncertainty is possible, with millions of emulated realizations being readily created. (ii) The same uncertainty space can be sampled for any emission pathway, which is not the case in CMIP6, where only a limited number of scenarios have been explored and some of the most societally relevant strong mitigation scenarios have been run by only a small number of ESMs. (iii) Other lines of evidence to constrain future projections, including observational constraints, can be introduced, which helps to refine projected ranges beyond the multi-ESM ensembles' estimates. In addition to presenting results from the coupled MAGICC–MESMER emulator chain, we carry out an extensive validation of MESMER, which is trained on and applied to multiple emission pathways for the first time in this study. By coupling MAGICC and MESMER, we pave the way for rapid assessments of any emission pathway's regional climate change consequences and the associated uncertainties.
RADIv1: a non-steady-state early diagenetic model for ocean sediments in Julia and MATLAB/GNU Octave

Published: March 2022

Abstract. We introduce a time-dependent, one-dimensional model of
early diagenesis that we term RADI, an acronym accounting for the main
processes included in the model: chemical reactions, advection, molecular
and bio-diffusion, and bio-irrigation. RADI is targeted for study of
deep-sea sediments, in particular those containing calcium carbonates
(CaCO3). RADI combines CaCO3 dissolution driven by organic matter
degradation with a diffusive boundary layer and integrates state-of-the-art
parameterizations of CaCO3 dissolution kinetics in seawater, thus
serving as a link between mechanistic surface reaction modeling and
global-scale biogeochemical models. RADI also includes CaCO3
precipitation, providing a continuum between CaCO3 dissolution and
precipitation. RADI integrates components rather than individual chemical
species for accessibility and is straightforward to compare against
measurements. RADI is the first diagenetic model implemented in Julia, a
high-performance programming language that is free and open source, and it
is also available in MATLAB/GNU Octave. Here, we first describe the
scientific background behind RADI and its implementations. Following this, we evaluate
its performance in three selected locations and explore other potential
applications, such as the influence of tides and seasonality on early
diagenesis in the deep ocean. RADI is a powerful tool to study the
time-transient and steady-state response of the sedimentary system to
environmental perturbation, such as deep-sea mining, deoxygenation, or
acidification events.
Taxonomic review of living planktonic foraminifera
Authors: Brummer Geert-Jan A. , Kučera Michal
Published: March 2022

Abstract. Applications of fossil shells of planktonic foraminifera
to decipher past environmental change and plankton evolution require a
robust operational taxonomy. In this respect, extant planktonic foraminifera
provide an opportunity for benchmarking the dominantly morphological species
concepts and classification of the group by considering ecological,
physiological and genetic characters. Although the basic framework of the
taxonomy of extant planktonic foraminifera has been stable for half a
century, many details have changed, not the least in light of genetic
evidence. In this contribution, we review the current taxonomy of living
planktonic foraminifera, presenting a comprehensive standard that emerged
from the meetings and consultations of the SCOR/IGBP Working Group 138
“Planktonic foraminifera and ocean changes”. We present a comprehensive
annotated list of 50 species and subspecies recognized among living
planktonic foraminifera and evaluate their generic and suprageneric
classification. As a result, we recommend replacing the commonly used names
Globorotalia menardii by G. cultrata and Globorotalia theyeri by G. eastropacia, recognize Globorotaloides oveyi as a neglected but valid living species, and
propose transferring the three extant species previously assigned to
Tenuitella into a separate genus, Tenuitellita. We review the status of types and designate
lectotypes for Globoturborotalita rubescens and Globigerinita uvula. We further provide an annotated list of synonyms and
other names that have been applied previously to living planktonic
foraminifera and outline the reasons for their exclusion. Finally, we
provide recommendations on how the presented classification scheme should be
used in operational taxonomy for the benefit of producing replicable and
interoperable census counts.

Abstract. In order to prevent the aggravation of global environmental problems, all industries are facing the challenge of green development. In the automotive field, the development of “new-energy vehicles” (plug-in electric vehicles) is particularly necessary. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been proven to be an efficient way of solving environmental and energy problems. As the core of HEVs, the energy management strategy (EMS) plays an important role in fuel economy, power performance, and drivability. However, considering the randomness of actual driving conditions, there are great challenges involved in the establishment of an EMS. Therefore, it is critical to develop an efficient and adaptable EMS. This paper presents a systematic review of EMSs for HEVs. First, different issues that can affect the performance of EMSs are summarized. Second, recent studies on EMSs for HEVs are reviewed. Third, the advantages and disadvantages of different categories of EMSs are compared in detail. Finally, promising EMS research topics for future study are put forward.

Abstract. In France, flooding is the most common and damaging natural hazard (CCR, 2021). Global
warming is expected to exacerbate flood risk and could be more pronounced in
the European Alps which are experiencing a high warming rate, likely to lead
to heavier rainfall events. Alpine valleys are densely populated,
potentially increasing exposure and vulnerability to flood hazard. The study
of historical records is highly relevant to understand long-term flood
occurrence and related socio-economic impacts in relation to changes in the
flood risk components (i.e. hazard, exposure and vulnerability). To this aim we introduce the newly constituted database of Historical Impacts of Floods in the Arve Valley (HIFAVa) located
in the French northern Alps starting in 1850. This quite unique database reports
historical impacts related to impact events occurrences in a well-documented
Alpine catchment that encompasses both hydrological and socio-economical
diversity. After a complete description of the database (collection, content and
structure), we explore the distribution of the recorded impacts with respect
to their characteristics and evolution in both time and space. The analysis
reveals that small mountain streams and particularly glacial streams caused
more impacts (67 %) than the main river. While an increase in heavy
rainfall and ice melt are expected to enhance flood hazard in small Alpine
catchments, this finding calls for greater attention to flood risk
assessment and management in small catchments. The analysis also reveals an
increasing occurrence of impacts from 1920 onwards, for which possible
factors are discussed. Further work is, however, needed to conclude on the
respective contribution of the source effect, the increase in flood hazard,
or the exposure of goods and people.

PT Setia Kiji Reed (SKR) was established in 1991, with its Jl address. Rancaekek Km. 24.5, Linggar, Kec. Rancaekek, Bandung Regency, West Java 40394 is a company that already uses computer technology in carrying out its business processes. This company is a joint venture between Japan (KIJI Reed Co. Ltd) and Indonesia, with business activities in the textile industry such as manufacturing and sales of reeds for weaving looms and material suppliers for air-jet reeds. The company has three divisions: Wirecut, Polishing Dents, and Reed Production. However, recording incoming and outgoing goods transactions at the Polishing Dents warehouse is not fully recorded in one application but is stored in various databases. Each punch-out or raw material from the supplier is stored in the warehouse as a raw material., These goods are processed through the production process into finished goods, held in the warehouse as finished goods for export. The data obtained in this study were collected by interview, observation, and literature study. Software development uses the Rapid Application Development (RAD) methodology and a system design approach through the Object-Oriented Approach with the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The results of this study are an inventory management information system that can support and manage inventory processes in the warehouse, such as controlling and monitoring goods, maintaining goods returns, assigning suppliers, and reporting.
La lectura e interpretación de fenómenos artísticos en el desarrollo de la alfabetización visual: un modelo para los estudios universitarios de arte
Authors: Gregori-Giralt Eva , Menéndez Varela José Luis
Published: March 2022

La proliferación de la imagen en la sociedad contemporánea ha puesto en evidencia la necesidad de repensar qué significa ser una persona alfabetizada y de replantear el modelo educativo situando la lectura e interpretación de imágenes como un aprendizaje clave de las personas egresadas. Aunque son múltiples las iniciativas desarrolladas en ámbitos tan diferentes como la anatomía o la fotografía, son pocas las que se han diseñado e impulsado desde el ámbito de las artes. El presente artículo parte de la conciencia de que las disciplinas artísticas deben desempeñar un papel relevante en las cuestiones de alfabetización visual y propone un modelo de lectura e interpretación de fenómenos artísticos que constituye una adaptación didáctica del método iconológico de Panofsky a partir de la taxonomía SOLO. Se trata de un modelo construido considerando la importancia de: a) aprender a ejercitar la mirada; b) la gestión de la incertidumbre propia de cualquier profesional, que debe ofrecer respuestas nuevas a problemas antiguos; c) el modelo debe ser aplicable a cualquier enfoque disciplinario de las artes y asignatura, y d) el papel protagonista de la imaginación y el pensamiento creativo que las teorías contemporáneas atribuyen a la alfabetización visual.
Lo culto y lo popular en el arte. Algunas teorías sociales sobre la diversidad cultural
Authors: Peist Rojzman Nuria
Published: March 2022

El debate sobre lo considerado culto o popular en el arte sigue teniendo vigencia. No obstante, la complejidad de nuestras sociedades de consumo actuales motiva el desarrollo de teorías que defienden la existencia de una multiculturalidad. Asimismo se plantea la dificultad de establecer límites culturales que se relacionen con los límites sociales. En este artículo se propone que también existe un conjunto de teorías del último siglo que reflexionan sobre los lindes sociales en el campo de la cultura. Estas propuestas se pueden analizar considerando el arte como un campo de subproducción restringida –producción, mediación y recepción-, como propone Pierre Bourdieu. Se trata de aportar a las teorías artísticas otras miradas sobre el tema. El objetivo último es analizar las jerarquías presentes en el campo cultural con mayor realismo y profundidad.
AFASIA PRAGMÁTICA: CÉREBRO, LINGUAGEM E COMUNICAÇÃO
Authors: CAMINHA L. S. , MAZUROSKI JR A.
Published: March 2022

This article describes the linguistic behavior of individuals diagnosed with mild Frontal Lobe Syndrome or Pragmatic Aphasia, a neurological condition resulting from brain damage that affects linguistic areas and the semantic processes of understanding. Resorting to the pragmatic conception of language, in the analysis of the linguistic traits that characterize the pathology of brain-injured subjects who present alterations and contextual communicative difficulties. The theoretical framework for the analysis is composed of the functional model of the brain, which allows the classification of aphasia from a linguistic point of view and, to address the pragmatic and cognitive aspects of the Frontal Lobe Syndrome, the relationships between communication and context are used in the Relevance Theory (SPERBER; WILSON, 2001).

Authors: Ali Majid , Tariq Muhammad , Khan Muhammad Azam
Published: March 2022

The paper contributes to the current literature by investigating the effects of economic growth, income inequality, and financial development on poverty for fifteen (15) developing countries. Panel data over the period from 2002 to 2018 has been used. Pooled Mean Group (PMG) technique has been applied for estimating the results. The study employs panel unit root tests namely: LLC and IPS for checking the unit root in the data. The long results show that all variables turned significant in the model. The income inequality shows positive relationship with poverty. Financial development and economic growth reveal adverse impact on poverty. Government spending and employment (increase in labor force participation) impact on poverty are negative. Furthermore, trade openness and inflation coefficients turned significant however, its sign are not according to the theory. Moreover, in the short run income inequality and economic growth show no impact on poverty. Financial development relationship with the poverty is still positive. Inflation revealed positive relationship with poverty. Trade openness show positive relationship with poverty. And other two variables government spending and labor force participation rate coefficients remained insignificant. The error correction coefficient i.e. speed of adjustment parameter is - 0.089. On the basis of the findings it is suggest that effective policies for boosting up economic growth, advancement of financial sector and reducing income inequality can significantly contribute towards the poverty reduction in the developing countries. It is suggested that the government shall formulate appropriate policies for the development of financial sector, boosting up economic growth and reduction of income inequality which will contribute to the reduction in poverty of the selected countries.
