Authors: Cabello Roxana , Alonso Juan Manuel
Published: December 2019

En el Programa Usos de Medios Interactivos (UMI) de la Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento (UNGS) en Argentina, estamos desarrollando el “Estudio de procesos de apropiación de tecnologías por parte de niños y niñas de 6 a 8 años de edad”. Buscamos comprender las características que asumen esos procesos en un período de la infancia en el que se construyen las competencias de lectura y escritura. Presentamos en este artículo algunos resultados obtenidos a través de una encuesta a personas adultas a cargo de niños y niñas de ese tramo de edad. Abordamos tres dimensiones que adjudicamos teóricamente a la noción de hogar como entorno tecnocultural: disposición de tecnologías, dinámica de usos de tecnologías en el hogar y regulaciones sobre los usos de tecnologías. Comentamos aquí únicamente los usos de tecnologías (sobre todo internet) que, según las personas adultas, realizan los niños y las niñas en el contexto del hogar.
Currículo y prácticas universitarias de vinculación curricular
Authors: Coscarelli María Raquel
Published: December 2019

Los cruces de disciplinas y saberes provenientes del campo territorial se consideran fuentes curriculares inagotables, fabuloso potencial para la transformación, en un sentido de creciente inclusión social igualitaria y democrática. Las prácticas de vinculación territorial son vistas como parte del campo curricular crítico social.  

El artículo retoma algunas investigaciones previas en clave curricular y de formación, y aborda el sentido de núcleos precurriculares emergentes de dichas prácticas. Desde la perspectiva pedagógica, no excluyente de otros posibles ángulos de lectura, la denominada curricularización conlleva a la cuestión de la institucionalidad curricular y los aportes solidarios de la Educación Popular y las perspectivas críticas en la construcción de estas prácticas de enlace universidad-sociedad.
El cambio curricular de las carreras de la Licenciatura en Biología en la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Museo (UNLP)
Authors: Carrión Cristian , Posadas Paula , Ros Mónica
Published: December 2019

Las carreras de Biología de la FCNyM de la UNLP poseen los mismos planes de estudios desde hace al menos 34 años. La ausencia de espacios institucionalizados y regulares de discusión respecto del perfil de formación, ha contribuido a la modificación de contenidos en los espacios fragmentarios de las cátedras, sin una mirada de conjunto.  Es a partir del año 2008 que ha sido posible un proceso continuo de cambio curricular con la participación de todos los actores de esta unidad académica. En este trabajo se desarrolla una sistematización analítica y crítica sobre los antecedentes curriculares y los sujetos y discursos que predominan en el proceso actual de cambio curricular.
Conceptualizar la Iglesia en la Nueva España y México: una aproximación semántico-histórica
Authors: Gómez Revuelta Gloria Maritza
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo examina las transformaciones y continuidades en la carga semántica del concepto de Iglesia enla Nueva España y el México independiente en la primera mitad del siglo XIX. A partir de los fundamentos dela historia conceptual, el trabajo presenta tres momentos semánticos del concepto de “Iglesia”: el colonial,en el que el término mantiene sus significados antiguos y el contexto sociopolítico no cambia; el segundo,de la Guerra y declaración de independencia, en el que el contexto cambia, pero el concepto mantienesus sentidos antiguos; y el de la Guerra de Reforma, caracterizado por una férrea defensa de los derechos yla independencia de la Iglesia, en un abierto contexto de secularización del Estado. Para ello se analizan fuenteslexicográficas, religiosas, políticas y hemerográficas, entre otras. El texto busca abordar las transformacionessemánticas del concepto en el contexto de cambios y pugnas en la relación entre religión y política que caracterizanel proceso de secularización mexicano.
The Trisection of an Arbitrary Angle: A Condensed Classical Geometric Solution
Authors: Rediske Arthur
Published: December 2019

This paper presents a short version of an elegant geometric solution of angle trisection that was published by this author on 2018-04-30 in Volume:  14 Issue:  02 of the Journal of Advances in Mathematics.

The style of writing for the above paper was based on how teaching geometry was taught in high schools from 1940 to 1942.  Proofs of a problem consisted of a statement that was followed by a valid reason why the statement was made.  If the proof was many lines in length, the teacher wanted the students to show each step.  The students were not allowed to skip a step or steps to reach the final line of the proof.

This short version was generated when a copy of the above paper was reviewed by a retired school teacher, who suggested the proof of the trisection of an arbitrary angle could be shortened.

The exposed methods of proof have not changed from the Euclidean postulates of classical geometry.

Agricultural tax as a source of income for rural communes
Authors: KOBIAŁKA ANNA BARBARA , ZAKRZEWSKA ANETA
Published: December 2019

The revenues from the agricultural tax only to a small extent contribute to the budgets of communes, and they often constitute the basic source of tax revenues in rural communes. This is the main reason for the worse income situation of rural communes in Poland. Rural communes in Poland are the least independent units and such situation requires the search for effective sources of income for local government units. For many years, there has also been a discussion on the possibility of real taxation of income from agricultural activities. Considering the above, the purpose of this study was to analyze the income equipment of rural communes in the field of agricultural tax in 2011–2017. The analysis of the income structure confirms that in rural communes, the share of agricultural tax in total income is twice as high as the average in Polish communes. However, this is not a factor that makes it possible to increase the financial independence of rural communes.

Published: December 2019

The research was aimed at assessing the impact of growing technology with microbiological application and herbal extracts on dry matter content, starch and yields, as well as vitamin C content in two potato cultivars, as compared to traditional fungicide-based and pest control technology, and to the variant without using bio-preparations and fungicides. The results of the study were based on the field experiment conducted in 2014–2016 at in Uhnin (51°34'N, 23°02'E), slightly acidic soil. The experiment was performed by means of randomized blocks method, in dependent split-plot pattern, in three replicates. The 1st order factor was the potato cultivars (‘Vineta’ and ‘Satina’), while the 2nd order factor was six crop technologies. Organic and mineral fertilization of potato was uniform. The applied cultivation techniques using microbiological preparations, herbal extracts and fungicide applications contributed to a significant increase in the dry matter content, vitamin C, while did not significant influence on dry matter yield. Reaction of cultivars towards the bio-preparations used has varied.
Preliminary Evaluation of Seismic Performance of Engineering Structures with PERFORM 3D
Authors: Li Dongmei
Published: December 2019

This study analyzed the role of PERFORM 3D in the preliminary evaluation of seismic performance of engineering structures. Firstly, PERFORM 3D was briefly introduced, and its material constitutive model and basic model were analyzed. Then, taking a high-rise building project in Yulin, Shaanxi, China, as an example, PERFORM 3D was used to evaluate its seismic performance. After establishing the engineering model, five seismic waves were selected for simulation. The results showed that the maximum values of X-axis inter-story displacement angle and Y-axis displacement angle were 1/500 and 1/360 respectively, which were far less than the standard limit; the overall energy dissipation was good, the damping was small, the overall deformation was good, and the seismic performance was also good. In conclusion, PERFORM 3D has a good performance in the preliminary evaluation of seismic performance of engineering, and it is worth further promotion and application.
Model of Construction Subcontractors Selection with Time Windows for their Availability
Authors: Biruk S. , Jaskowski P. , Krzemiński M.
Published: December 2019

Most construction projects involve subcontracting some work packages. A subcontractor is employed on the basis of their bid as well as according to their availability. A viable schedule must account for resource availability constraints. These resources (e.g. crews, subcontractors) engage in many projects, so they become at the disposal for a new project only in certain periods. One of the key tasks of a planner is thus synchronizing the work of resources between concurrent projects. The paper presents a mathematical model of the problem of selecting subcontractors or general contractor’s crews for a time-constrained project that accounts for the availability of contractors, as well as for the cost of subcontracting works. The proposed mixed integer-binary linear programming model enables the user to perform the time/cost trade-off analysis.
Cold-water immersion combined with active recovery is equally as effective as active recovery during 10 weeks of high-intensity combined strength and endurance training in men
Authors: Taipale Ritva S. , Ihalainen Johanna K. , Jones Phillip J. , Mero Antti A. , Häkkinen Keijo , Kyröläinen Heikki
Published: December 2019

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of cold-water immersion (CWI) vs. active recovery performed after each individual strength and endurance training session over a 10-week period of high-intensity combined strength and endurance training.

Materials and methods: Seventeen healthy men completed 10 weeks of high-intensity combined strength and endurance training. One group (AR, n = 10) completed active recovery that included 15 minutes of running at 30–40% VO2max after every strength training session while the other group (CWI, n = 7) completed 5 minutes of active recovery (at the same intensity as the AR group) followed by 10 minutes of cold-water (12 ± 1°C) immersion. During CWI, the subjects were seated passively during the 10 minutes of cold-water immersion and the water level remained just below the pectoral muscles. Muscle strength and power were measured by isometric bilateral, 1 repetition maximum, leg press (ISOM LP) and countermovement jump (CMJ) height. Endurance performance was measured by a 3000 m running time trial. Serum testosterone, cortisol, and IGF-1 were assessed from venous blood samples.

Results: ISOM LP and CMJ increased significantly over the training period, but 3000 m running time increased only marginally. Serum testosterone, cortisol, and IGF-1 remained unchanged over the intervention period. No differences between the groups were observed.

Conclusions: AR and CWI were equally effective during 10 weeks of high-intensity combined strength and endurance training. Thus, physically active individuals participating in high-intensity combined strength and endurance training should use the recovery method they prefer.

Authors: Moroza Nadina , Jurgelane-Kaldava Inguna
Published: December 2019

Logistics centre location is very important in the overall development of the total logistics chain. Nowadays, it is very important to find a right place for one’s business. It is more important to find the best place for warehouse, to decrease all possible costs, to think about possibility to grow. Many companies are choosing to rent a warehouse because they do not know, if they have considerable expenses at the beginning of business. Question that worries many managers is how to decide about the best place where to rent or build a warehouse. This question should be number one in the development of warehouse infrastructure. Many authors think that the best place is the one, where it is possible to decrease all costs – transportation, land / rent costs. Warehouse is one of the most important links between production and delivery of goods to the customer’s location. The aim of the present research is to identify factors using a systematic literature analysis method – literature overview, which is important for searching the best place for logistics centre. Literature overview is an easy tool for selecting, systematising and collecting data about the research subject, using different authors’ articles, which have already proven key information about the present article. More than 8000 scientific articles were used to define 20 full-text articles for a deeper analysis. As a result of the research, the authors consider that the most important activities are to set a warehouse near important transportation nodes, and it is very necessary to decrease environmental issues.
Local and global asymptotic behavior of malaria-filariasis coinfections in compliant and noncompliant susceptible pregnant women to antenatal medical program in the tropics
Authors: Ogunmiloro Oluwatayo M.
Published: December 2019

In this paper, a mathematical nonlinear model system of equations describing the dynamics of the co-interaction between malaria and filariasis epidemic affecting the susceptible host population of pregnant women in the tropics is formulated. The basic reproduction number Rmf
of the coepidemic model is obtained, and we investigated that it is the threshold parameter between the extinction and persistence of the coepidemic disease. If Rmf < 1, then the disease-free steady state is both locally and globally asymptotically stable resulting in the disease dying out of the host. Also, if Rmf > 1, the disease lingers on. The center manifold theory is used to show that the unique endemic equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. However, variations in the parameter values involved in the model build up will bring about appropriate control measures to curtail the spread of the coepidemic disease. Numerical simulations are carried out to confirm the theoretical results.

Physiological Responses and Swimming Technique During Upper Limb Critical Stroke Rate Training in Competitive Swimmers
Authors: Funai Yuki , Matsunami Masaru , Taba Shoichiro
Published: December 2019

The aim of this study was to examine how arm stroke swimming with critical stroke rate (CSR) control would influence physiological responses and stroke variables in an effort to identify a new swimming training method. Seven well-trained male competitive swimmers (19.9 ± 1.4 years of age) performed maximal 200 and 400 m front crawl swims to determine the CSR and critical swimming velocity (CV), respectively. Thereafter, they were instructed to perform tests with 4 × 400 m swimming bouts at the CSR and CV. The swimming time (CSR test: 278.96 ± 2.70 to 280.87 ± 2.57 s, CV test: 276.17 ± 3.36 to 277.06 ± 3.64 s), heart rate, and rated perceived exertion did not differ significantly between tests for all bouts. Blood lactate concentration after the fourth bout was significantly lower in the CSR test than in the CV test (3.16 ± 1.43 vs. 3.77 ± 1.52 mmol/l, p < 0.05). The stroke rate and stroke length remained stable across bouts in the CSR test, whereas the stroke rate increased with decreased stroke length across bouts in the CV test (p < 0.05). There were significant differences in the stroke rate (39.27 ± 1.22 vs. 41.47 ± 1.22 cycles/min, p < 0.05) and stroke length (2.20 ± 0.07 vs. 2.10 ± 0.04 m/stroke, p < 0.05) between the CSR and CV tests in the fourth bout. These results indicate that the CSR could provide the optimal intensity for improving aerobic capacity during arm stroke swimming, and it may also help stabilize stroke technique.

Published: December 2019

This study objective was to evaluate gender differences in hematological, hormonal and fitness variables among youth swimmers and to explore relationships between erythrocyte indices and aerobic and anaerobic capacity. 137 girls and 171 boys participated in the study and were divided into three groups based on their training experience. Blood samples were obtained to determine red blood cell counts, hemoglobin concentration, hematocrit, and plasma erythropoietin and testosterone levels. VO2max was assessed using a submaximal cycle protocol. 76 girls and 102 boys also undertook a Wingate test to determine their peak anaerobic power. Boys had higher (p < 0.05) means than girls for all hematological variables except for erythropoietin and these variables demonstrated an increase with training in boys. The average VO2max in l∙min-1 and peak anaerobic power in watts were also higher in boys (2.91 ± 0.08 and 547 ± 28, respectively) than girls (2.25 ± 0.07 and 450 ± 26, respectively). Modest but significant (p < 0.05) correlations were found between VO2max and red blood cell counts (r = 0.252), hemoglobin concentration (r = 0.345), or hematocrit (r = 0.345) and between peak anaerobic power and red blood cell counts (r = 0.304), hemoglobin concentration (r = 0.319) or hematocrit (r = 0.351). This study revealed relatively lower yet age- and gender-appropriate hematological, hormonal and fitness indices in youth swimmers. The gender-related differences in erythrocyte indices seem unrelated to erythropoietin and may be explained by the higher testosterone levels seen in boys. Given their correlation to both aerobic and anaerobic capacity, erythrocyte indices may be used as part of talent identification for sports.
Influence of Contextual Variables on Performance of the Libero Player in Top-Level Women’s Volleyball
Authors: García-de-Alcaraz Antonio , Usero Laura
Published: December 2019

Sports performance changes dynamically according to multiple variables during a match. Contextual variables play an important role in complex situations and influence player’s performance depending on the player’s role. The aim of this study was to analyze performance of the libero player in terms of contextual variables in top-level women’s volleyball. The sample comprised 1,597 actions performed by libero players in 49 sets (13 matches) played in the Spanish Queen’s Cups from 2015 to 2017. The variables analyzed were: the game phase, the match period, the set period, match status, the type of the match, and action performance. The results revealed higher participation in the reception and digging, and top performance in reception and setting. The participation of the libero player decreased at the end of the match and the set as well as in advantage score situations, while performance got worse at the end of the set (especially in digs, p < .05) and improved in score advantage situations (especially in receptions, p < .05). Performance remained stable regardless of the type of the match (p > .05). These results may be useful to coaches in order to plan and design specific tasks coherent with libero competition demands and performance values.

Published: December 2019

This study aimed to examine the effects of batting practice and visual training focused on the pitch type and speed on batting ability and visual function. A total of 46 participants took part in 12 training sessions for 4 weeks. The participants were divided into six groups according to the training type as follows: Group 1, batting practice with a fastball at 100 km/h; Group 2, tracking (watching) a fastball at 100 km/h; Group 3, batting practice with a fastball at 115 km/h; Group 4, tracking a fastball at 115 km/h; Group 5, batting practice with a curve ball at 100 km/h; and Group 6, tracking a curve ball at 100 km/h. Dynamic visual acuity, depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and batting ability were measured before and after training. Group 1 showed significant improvement in batting ability in the tests with 100 km/h fastballs and curve balls, while Groups 3 and 5 showed significant improvement in batting ability with 100 km/h fastballs and curve balls, respectively. Group 6 also showed significant improvement in batting ability with 100 km/h fastballs. Moreover, Groups 2 and 4 showed significant improvement in Dynamic visual acuity and hand-eye coordination, respectively. The results of the present study suggest that batting practice and visual training improve batting ability for the same pitch types and speeds as those encountered in practice. Therefore, visual training may be an effective method for improving batting ability and visual function in coaching settings.
Liberal Citizenship and the Hermeneutics of Public Dialogue: A Rawlsian Perspective
Authors: Rivera Joseph
Published: December 2019

Focusing on the topic of public dialogue between religiously theistic, quasi-religious, atheistic, and non-religious citizens in a liberal democracy, this paper develops a practical strategy of dialogue in the wake of Rawls’ Political Liberalism (1993). To set the stage for a rereading of Rawls, the chief points of liberal citizenship are outlined in critical dialogue with recent literature that urges citizens to abandon liberalism. While metaphysics, religious norms, and moral visions of the good are not bracketed by liberal regimes, it is true that liberal states nonetheless attempt to remain neutral in matters of religion and worship. This may yield many worldviews incommensurable with each other. Liberalism, then, as a political order, involves a pluralism of worldviews, some religious and some not. A hermeneutics of public dialogue can enable citizens to be reconciled with, rather than escape, the pluralism born of liberalism. I suggest the point of departure for such a hermeneutic lies in the vocabulary of Rawlsian “overlapping consensus.” Reconsidered in this light, overlapping consensus can open up the prospect of dialogue among citizenry in the public square in a manner that facilitates agreement and cooperation. This is due to the fact that overlapping consensus contrasts with the idea that when one converges on a policy, one must always do so for the same reason or theoretical justification. The paper concludes with the structure of a four-way dialogue that may result from the application of this hermeneutic.
Intrafamilial Infection of Helicobacter Pylori: Abnormal Gastric Epithelial Cells, Pedestal-Rich H. Pylori Adherence, and a Gene Mutation in a Child with Protein-Losing Gastroenteropathy

Published: December 2019

Helicobacter pylori, one of the most prevalent human pathogens, colonizes the gastric mucosa and is associated with gastric diseases, such as gastritis and peptic ulcers, and is also a bacterial risk factor for gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) protein, a major virulence factor of H. pylori, is phosphorylated in cells at its Glu-Pro-IIe-Tyr-Ala (EPIYA) motif and is considered to trigger gastric cancer. CagA is classified into two forms, Western CagA with EPIYA-ABC and East Asian CagA with EPIYA-ABD, with the latter associated with a high risk of developing gastric cancer. CagA causes morphological transformation of cells, yielding the “hummingbird” phenotype in AGS cells and possibly membranous pedestals in the gastric epithelium, albeit rarely. H. pylori adherence to the gastric mucosa is not yet fully understood. Here, we describe an intrafamilial infection case of H. pylori, focusing on the gastric epithelium, H. pylori adherence, and a gene mutation in a child with protein-losing gastroenteropathy (characterized by excessive loss of plasma proteins into the gastrointestinal tract). H. pylori, which also infected family members (mother and father), was genetically a single clone with the virulence genes of an East Asian type. The patient’ gastric mucosa exhibited some unique features. Endoscopy revealed the presence of protein plugs on the mucosal surface, which were immunoelectrophoretically similar to serum proteins. Electron microscopy revealed abnormal gastric epithelial cells, totally covered with the secretions or possessing small swollen structures and irregular microvilli. The patient’s H. pylori infection was characterized by frequently occurring thick pedestals, formed along adherent H. pylori. The serum protein level returned to normal and the protein plugs disappeared after the successful eradication of H. pylori, albeit with lag periods for healing. He had a mutation in the OCRL1 gene, associated with Dent disease (asymptomatic proteinuria). Thus, in the patient’s gastric mucosa, we found the abnormal gastric epithelial cells, which may be caused by an OCRL1 mutation or H. pylori, and pedestal-rich H. pylori infection, possibly caused by a higher level of action of CagA in the abnormal epithelial cells. The data suggests a novel H. pylori virulence factor associated with “excessive plasma protein release”.

Published: December 2019

The release of physical music will never be extinct, as is technology disrupting audio technology. This article provides an explanation of physical music releases in the digital era, where vinyl records, audio and CD tapes are still consumed by connoisseurs and musicians alike. Although digital music players and online music applications such as Joox, Spotify, Apple Music or Sky Music is very important in the spread of music in the digital era. The attitude of independent musicians or who are familiar with the term indie musicians still maintains the release of physical music as a tool for the dissemination of their work. This article presents descriptive data from existing journals which are then combined with interviews to obtain depth about what shapes the attitude of indie musicians in using physical music releases and how indie musicians and indie music distributors collaborate in communicating works - indie musicians work through strategies that are done together. As well as what indie music absorbs local culture and how they influence their work and what their attitudes are. Do they not pay attention to the presence of digital distribution or even combine these two things. With the existence of this article, the description of the things that underlie the independent musicians released the music they made themselves with the release of physical albums. Rilisan musik fisik tidak akan pernah punah, sebagaimana pun teknologi mendisrupsi teknologi audio. Artikel ini memberikan penjelasan tentang rilisan musik fisik pada era digital, dimana piringan hitam (vinyl), kaset audio dan CD masih tetap dikonsumsi oleh para penikmat serta pelaku musik. Walaupun pemutar musik digital dan aplikasi musik secara online seperti Joox, Spotify, Apple Music ataupun Langit Musik sangat berperan penting dalam penyebaran musik di era digital. Sikap dari musisi independen atau yang akrab dengan sebutan musisi indie tetap mempertahankan rilisan musik fisik sebagai alat untuk penyebaran karya mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat bagaimana rilisan musik fisik akan tetap bertahan, dan mengapa sebuah rilisan fisik menjadi hal yang dianggap penting bagi musisi Indie. Artikel ini menyajikan data-data secara deskriptif dari jurnal-jurnal yang ada yang kemudian di padupadankan dengan wawancara untuk memperoleh kedalaman tentang apa yang membentuk sikap dari para musisi indie dalam menggunakan rilisan musik fisik dan bagaimana musisi indie dan distributor musik indie melakukan kolaborasi dalam mengomunikasikan karya-karya musisi indie melalui strategi yang dikerjakan bersama. Serta seperti apa musik indie menyerap budaya lokal dan bagaimana hal tersebut memberikan pengaruhnya pada karya-karya mereka dan seperti apa sikap mereka. Apakah kehadiran distribusi yang dilakukan secara digital tidak mereka hiraukan atau malah menggabungkan kedua hal tersebut. Adanya artikel ini, memberikan gambaran hal-hal yang mendasari para musisi independen merilis musik yang mereka buat sendiri dengan rilisan album fisik.
