Published: January 2022

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Stunting merupakan terhambatnya tumbuh kembang yang ditandai nilai Z-score indeks PB/U atau TB/U <-2SD. Stunting menjadi masalah utama di Indonesia dengan persentase balita stunting di tahun 2018 mencapai 30%. Banyumas merupakan kabupaten kedua dengan prevalensi balita stunting terbanyak di Jawa Tengah. Stunting disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor, seperti kurangnya asupan protein hewani, higiene sanitasi rumah yang buruk, dan pola asuh yang kurang tepat.Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani, pola asuh makan, dan higiene sanitasi rumah terhadap kejadian stunting anak balita.Metode: Rancangan penelitian berupa observasi analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel berjumlah 61 anak balita, ditentukan menggunakan simple random sampling pada balita berusia 12-59 bulan di Desa Karanglewas, Kecamatan Jatilawang, Banyumas, Jawa Tengah. Pengambilan data menggunakan kuesioner FFQ, CFQ, dan observasi rumah sehat. Data dianalisis menggunakan Pearson Product Moment, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan uji regresi linier berganda.Hasil : Keragaman asupan protein hewani pada responden tidak berbeda jauh (50,8% rendah dan 49,2% tinggi). Sebagian besar responden mendapatkan pola asuh makan tepat (98,4%), tetapi higiene sanitasi rumah masih rendah (70,5%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan terdapat hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita (p=0,024, r=0,289). Namun tidak terdapat hubungan pola asuh makan (p=0,327) dan higiene sanitasi rumah (p=0,103) terhadap kejadian stunting pada anak balita. Uji multivariat menunjukkan keragaman asupan protein hewani dan higiene sanitasi rumah secara bersama-sama mempengaruhi kejadian stunting (p=0,038, r2=0,102).Simpulan: Terdapat hubungan keragaman asupan protein hewani terhadap kejadian stunting. Keragaman asupan protein hewani dan higinene sanitasi rumah mempengaruhi kejadian stunting apabila terjadi bersama-sama.

Published: January 2022

Conventional organic waste composting is one of the processing of organic waste that produces fertilizer. However, the conventional composting process for organic waste lasts 1-3 months. Vermicomposting is composting that lasts a short time, and in addition, vermicomposting produces compost and worms with a high selling value. So, in this study, Musa Paradisiaca L (MPL) peel and sawdust waste were composted using the vermicomposting method into compost. The primary data in this study consisted of monitoring the C/N ratio, temperature, pH, moisture content, texture, the particle size of compost for 3 weeks of the composting process. Testing the analysis of the effect of using Lumbricus Rubellus (LR) earthworms in the composting process of MPL peel waste and sawdust by using LR earthworms. The study results showed that LR worms had no effect on temperature, pH, water content, and C/N ratio during the composting process of MPL peel waste but did affect the texture, particle size, and product of compost weight. pH, moisture content, and temperature of compos with adding LR earthworms and without LR worms was 7, less than 50%, 27-29 0C, respectively.  The C/N ratio of compost that uses LR earthworms was 28, while the C/N ratio of composting that uses LR earthworms was 33.

Published: January 2022

Garang River is administratively located in Semarang Regency, Kendal Regency, and Semarang City. Population growth and the number of community activities around the river can affect the water quality of the Garang River. Wastewater discharged into the Garang River will reduce water quality. The number of pollutants that enter the river changes the quality of river water until it reaches a pollutant level that exceeds the quality standard. The purpose of this study was to determine the self-purification ability of the Garang River using the Streeter-Phelps method based on DO and BOD parameters to obtain an oxygen sag curve for oxygen reduction. There are 3 monitoring stations that are located in the upstream segment of the Garang River. The value of the deoxygenation constant (K) in segment 1 is around 0.340, the reaeration constant (R) is 3.433, and the value of fs = 10.103. While in segment 2. the value of K is 0.335, R is 3.417, and fs is 10.194. It is revealed that segment 1 and segment 2 of the Garang River have not yet experienced optimal natural purification because they are still in the degradation zone.

Published: January 2022

Acid mine drainage has been reported to cause various environmental and human health problems. Acid mine drainage is formed due to the oxidation of sulfide minerals to water and air. This paper reports the efforts that have been made in the management and treatment of acid mine drainage. Thirty papers from reputable publishers are used as references. Efforts to prevent the formation of acid mine drainage can be made by making proper drainage and dewatering systems, making non-acid formations for rocks that have the potential to be oxidized. Active and passive treatment methods can be used to treat acid mine drainage. The active treatment method uses materials and chemicals to reduce pollutant parameters, while the passive method utilizes natural processes to reduce pollutant parameters in acid mine drainage. The combination of active and passive methods using novel materials that have been researched is recommended to produce the best system that can thoroughly remove pollutants in acid mine drainage.

Published: January 2022

The Indonesian government has implemented clinical sanitation to improve a healthier environment and reduce mortality from environmental-based diseases. This effort is carried out to reduce the incidence of environmental-based diseases such as diarrhea and Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI). However, in 2017 the number of ARI sufferers in one of the provinces in Indonesia reached 45.38%, while diarrhea reached 28.3%. The diarrhea mortality rate increased to 4.76% in 2018, while the prevalence of ARI reached 9.1%. Therefore, this article aims to examine the performance of the sanitation clinic program at the Indonesian Health Center. The review method used is the narrative. Total percentage of 78.33% for the category of public health centers that have carried out the stages of sanitation clinics starting from the counselling stage to the intervention stage following established regulations. This percentage is still low because it has not received a 100% score. The implementation of the program has not been supported by adequate counselling media. In addition, the Public Health Center does not yet have a counselling room, and there is still a shortage of operational funds. Monitoring and evaluation need to be carried out to improve the service performance of the sanitation clinic program.
Putting the Black Ink Back into Print: Black Newark/Black New Ark
Authors: Caroccio Maldonado Jennifer
Published: January 2022

This essay makes the case for the 1968 community newspaper Black Newark as an archival site that provides an alternative account of the growth of the Black Power movement in the city of Newark. The issues written about in this radical publication are an abundant resource for historians and researchers of New Jersey culture and Black cultural production in the United States. This essay contests the fact that no books devoted to the history of the Black press in the United States or surveys of African American newspapers make mention of Black Newark. It is the aim of this essay to examine both the 1968 edition of Black Newark and the later 1972–1974 edition of Black New Ark with the express goal of including the publications in the archive of both the history of Newark, New Jersey, and the Black press in the United States.
What makes the past perfect and the future progressive? Experiential coordinates for a learnable, context-based model of tense and aspect
Authors: Romain Laurence , Ez-zizi Adnane , Milin Petar , Divjak Dagmar
Published: January 2022

We examined how language supports the expression of temporality within sentence boundaries in English, which has a rich inventory of grammatical means to express temporality. Using a computational model that mimics how humans learn from exposure we explored what the use of different tense and aspect (TA) combinations reveals about the interaction between our experience of time and the cognitive demands that talking about time puts on the language user. Our model was trained onn-grams extracted from the BNC to select the TA combination that fits the context best. It revealed the existence of two different sub-systems within the set of TA combinations, a “simplex” one that is supported lexically and is easy to learn, and a “complex” one that is supported contextually and is hard to learn. The finding that some TA combinations are essentially lexical in nature necessitates a rethink of tense and aspect as grammatical categories that form the axes of the temporal system. We argue that the system of temporal reference may be more fruitfully thought of as the result of learning a system that is steeped in experience and organised along a number of functional principles.
Die Phänomenologie der Medizin und ihre feministische Kritik
Authors: Marcinski Isabella
Published: January 2022

The phenomenology of medicine is that part of the research field of the philosophy of medicine that asks about the subjective experience of illness. In contrast to the philosophy of medicine, the phenomenological approaches explicitly include medical and bioethical questions as part of their research interests. The paper provides an overview of the most important questions and topics of the phenomenology of medicine. Subsequently I will refer to the fundamental critique articulated by feminist positions in the field of phenomenology of medicine. In addition to the socio-political contextualisation of the experience of illness, this also includes the necessary recourse to empirical research.
Die Bewahrung der Westfälischen Friedensordnung als Argument gegen die Forderung Zar Peters I. nach einer Reichsstandschaft für Livland
Authors: Stuber Regina
Published: January 2022

Die Wahrung der politischen Ordnung des Heiligen Römischen Reiches, wie sie durch den Westfälischen Frieden festgelegt wurde, benutzte auch Zar Peter I. als politisches Argument nach der kriegsentscheidenden Schlacht bei Poltava (1709) während des Großen Nordischen Krieges. Die erstarkte militärische Position erlaubte es, politische Interessen zu postulieren, die eine europäische Konzeption einer künftigen Friedensordnung beinhalteten. Sah sich Peter I. nach Poltava in der Situation, die Position Schwedens als Garant für den Status quo des Heiligen Römische Reiches zu übernehmen, so war 1712 nach der Eroberung der schwedischen Ostseeprovinzen nicht die Bewahrung des Status quo das Ziel, sondern er erhob gegenüber dem kaiserlichen Hof die Forderung nach einer Neuordnung des Heiligen Römischen Reiches unter seiner Ägide. In diesem Kontext wurde der Plan verfolgt, eine russische Reichsstandschaft für Livland zu etablieren. Partielle Unterstützung erhielt das Vorhaben durch Vertreter des Deutschen Ordens, die sich dadurch eine Rekuperation Livlands in das Heilige Römische Reich erhofften. Diese diplomatischen Initiativen wurden von den kaiserlichen Beratern kategorisch zurückgewiesen. Aus ihrer Sicht wäre mit einer Anerkennung einer russischen Reichsstandschaft ein potentieller Auflösungsprozess der politischen Ordnung des Heiligen Römischen Reichs verbunden, der zu einer qualitativen Schwächung der Stellung des Kaisers innerhalb des Heiligen Römischen Reiches führen würde. Der Nachlass des russischen Gesandten Johann Christoph von Urbich, von der Forschung bisher kaum berücksichtigt, stellt die wesentliche Grundlage für die Untersuchung dar.
International students’ perceptions of multilingual English-medium instruction classrooms: a case study in Taiwan
Authors: Lan Shu-Wen
Published: January 2022

Many English-medium instruction (EMI) classrooms in non-Anglophone countries adopt a multilingual stance, using English alongside the host country’s local language(s). However, the perceptions of such multilingual practices held by students remain under-researched. Given many Asian countries’ current drives to internationalize and diversify their student bodies, a clear understanding of international students’ perspectives on multilingual EMI classrooms is long overdue. Through semi-structured interviews with international students from developing countries and the theoretical lens of language ideologies, this study investigates their perceptions of multilingual EMI classrooms in Taiwan. Most expressed a belief that their multilingual EMI classrooms, saturated with non-standard varieties of English, were not a legitimate pathway to acquiring their desired linguistic capital, i.e., standard English. These findings differ sharply from those of previous research, which has painted international students as holding positive attitudes towards English as a lingua franca (ELF). Moreover, the participants resisted the English-Mandarin translanguaging practices in their classrooms. As such, the findings highlight the need to understand the language ideologies of international students in Asia. Further investigation of learner resistance to multilingual EMI practices should also be conducted, with the wider aim of helping advanced English-language learners from developing countries accept different English accents, and accommodate ELF communication.

Formal Organising in the Informal Sector: The Hawker Sangram Committee and the Politics of Hawking in Kolkata, India
Authors: Lahiri Koyel
Published: January 2022

Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork, this article offers a close reading of the Hawker Sangram Committee (HSC), an independent street vendors’ union in the city of Kolkata in the state of West Bengal in eastern India; I explore the manner in which the politics of the HSC expand or complicate our understanding of street vendor politics and informal worker organising in the Global South. I argue that the HSC’s ability to implement its politics and successfully organise rests heavily on its dual strategy of organising (simultaneously building the struggle at the macro and micro level), which widened from space-bound little struggles to larger collective action (while still holding on to the former). I contend that the execution of this dual strategy is possible because of its structure, in which its member unions function autonomously, with member union organisers/leaders connecting the local hawkers to the central HSC leadership. Thus member unions comfortably negotiate a relationship where they participate as the HSC, with no political party banners, on work and livelihood issues related to hawking, while retaining their autonomy and various political identities at all other times. This parallel relationship has arguably built a stable base from which the HSC movement was able to scale city-wide, nationally and internationally, without disintegrating at the local level.

Vitamin D receptor regulates proliferation and differentiation of thyroid carcinoma via the E-cadherin-β-catenin complex
Authors: Ling Yali , Xu Feng , Xia Xuedi , Dai Dexing , Sun Ruoman , Xie Zhongjian
Published: January 2022

Thyroid cancer has the fastest rising incidence among cancers, especially for differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). Although the prognosis of DTC is relatively good, if it changes to anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), the prognosis will be very poor. The prognosis of DTC is largely depending on the degree of cell differentiation and proliferation. However, whether the vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a role in regulating the proliferation and the differentiation of DTC cells is unclear. In the present study, we found that VDR was upregulated in DTC tissues compared to the adjacent non-cancerous tissue. Knockdown of VDR increased proliferation and decreased differentiation proliferation in DTC cells in vitro as well as DTC cell-derived xenografts in vivo. In contrast, overexpression of VDR had an opposite effect. Knockdown of E-cadherin abolished VDR-induced suppression of proliferation and enhancement of differentiation of the DTC cells. Knockdown of β-catenin partially reversed the effect of the VDR knockdown. VDR increases the levels of E-cadherin in the plasma membrane and decreases the levels of β-catenin in the nucleus. VDR binds to E-cadherin and β-catenin in the plasma membrane of the DTC cell. Taken together, VDR inhibits DTC cell proliferation and promotes differentiation via regulation of the E-cadherin/β-catenin complex, potentially representing novel clues for a therapeutic strategy to attenuate thyroid cancer progression.

Published: January 2022

Photoalignment of nematic liquid crystals on the chalcogenide glass As20Se80 surface is studied by the digital processing of the optical textures of light-induced twist deformations of a liquid crystal (LC) in a cell irradiated with Gaussian polarized light. The original experimental method allowed obtaining the dependence of the light-induced twist angle for the As20Se80 surface on the exposure dose by the analysis of the only irradiated spot. The dependences of the light-induced twist angle on the exposure dose are found to be qualitatively different for LC~5CB and LC E7, which points on a possibility of different mechanisms of photoalignment on chalcogenide glass.
Different Polymorphic Modifications of Phenyl Salicylate
Authors: Davydova N.A. , Melnik V.I. , Nesprava V.V. , Reznichenko V.Ya.
Published: January 2022

For the first time, the luminescence spectra of two polymorphic forms of phenyl salicylate (salol) have been obtained. Both spectra show the vibronic structure. The average spacing between vibronic components is 1250 cm–1. Based on the infrared spectroscopy study, it is concluded that the interval between vibronic components in the luminescence spectra corresponds to the ν(C–OH) stretching vibration. The luminescence spectrum of the metastable phase is shifted by 760 cm–1 to the low-frequency side and is much wider relative to that in the stable phase. The presence of an OH group in the orto-position on the substituted ring results in the asymmetry of a molecule and the localization of an electronic excitation on this ring.
Modification of Optical Properties of Porous AIIIBV Layers Produced by Anodic Etching
Authors: Dmitruk N. , Berezovska N. , Dmitruk I. , Serdyuk V. , Sabataityte J. , Simkiene I.
Published: January 2022

Morphology investigations (atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)), study of Raman scattering (RS) and photoluminescence (PL) have been performed to characterize a series of AIIIBV materials (GaAs, GaP, InP) with an electrochemically prepared porous surface layer. It has been shown that the surface morphology of porous AIIIBV compounds strongly depends on various parameters of the anodizationprocess such as the etching time, current density, composition of etching solution, and illumination during the etching procedure. The enhancement of a Raman signal from porous surfaces, which has been observed for almost all samples, is caused mainly by the breaking of selection rules for corresponding phonon modes and a decrease of the reflection at the porous surface. The peculiarities of the PL spectra of porous AIIIBV compounds are studied in a wide temperature range. The small quantum confinement effect has been observed for GaAs and InP porous surfaces.

Mosquito iridescent virus (MIV) is an icosahedric lipid-containing virus which affects mosquitos of Aedes, Culex, Culizeta genera. Apart from mosquitos and other insects, iridoviruses cause the mass death of fish and can cause huge losses for industrial fish breedings. The MIV virion consists of a core of the genetic material (double-stranded viral DNA) surrounded by a capsid (icosahedral protein shell) and further encased in a lipid envelope. The aim of the work was to determine the role of MIV virion constituents (lipids, capsid proteins, and viral DNA) in the formation of spectral properties of the whole MIV virions. Measured are UV-Vis absorption, fluorescence, fluorescence excitation, and phosphorescence spectra of MIV virions, their capsid proteins, lipids, and viral DNA dissolved in various buffers. It is shown that the UV absorption of MIV virions is caused by the absorption of all virion constituents such as capsid proteins, lipids, and viral DNA. The fluorescence of MIV virions at room temperature is mainly due to the fluorescence of capsid proteins. The spectra measured at low temperatures make it possible to identify the type of a nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) inside the virion thanks to the fact that the DNA and RNA phosphorescence spectra are radically different.

A new type of inelastic light scattering in a disordered condensed matter is considered, in which, contrary to the conventional Raman scattering with fixed frequencies of vibrations, a shift of vibrational band positions is observed under variation of the excitation radiation frequency. This phonon-like scattering is inherent to intermediate states of the matter characterized by a ``smeared'' zone structure at the transition from individual non-correlated molecules of an amorphous material to a highly correlated structural state in single crystals. In particular, for different carbon structures, the intermediate structural statesbetween graphite and diamond include some shares of sp2 and sp3 hybridizations. A defect band and additional ones (D and Ad bands, respectively) have been clearly detected in the Raman spectra of such carbon forms. The bands have a doublet frame with the "redistribution" of intensities between components of the doublet (at 1350 and 1375 cm–1) in different structural modifications of graphite sensitive to the local environment of the correspondingchemical groups and to physical factors like pressure, temperature, and ionic implantation. The deconvolution of the composite bands into individual components has been performed through the subtraction spectra calculation. The origin of doublets and limitations of the applicability of a coupled double resonance concept are discussed. To determine the nature of the considered Raman bands, their fine structure and asymmetry are analyzed and compared with the behavior of similar bands in diamond-like hydrocarbon films and carbon metastable phases under high pressure.

Optimal technological conditions for the fabrication of nanocomposite films based on the poly(di-n-hexylsilane) (PDHS) incorporated into a TiO2 nanoporous film have been developed, and such composites are fabricated. Their optical spectra have been investigated in a wide temperature range (15–330) K. It is shown that the distinctive feature of nanocomposite films is related to the predominant fluorescence band of aggregates with respect to the fluorescence bands corresponding to the gauche- and trans-conformations of polymer chains and to the observation of the intense fluorescence band of aggregates even at room temperature.

The aim of this work is to investigate the channels of transfer of Cs and potassium from soil to plants under natural conditions. Different rapidly maturing plants were grown simultaneously at the same experimental sites under natural conditions at the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone. Roots of the plants were side by side in soil. During two seasons, we selected samples of the plants and soils several times every season. After every selection, the contents of 137Cs and K in the plant and in the soil solution extracted from the samples of soils were measured. Experimental data are analyzed. All the investigated plants at all our experimental sites uptake 137Cs mainly via low-affinity cation channels at any composition of the soil solution and the soil humidity. The plant uptakes potassium mainly via low-affinity cation channels if the plant has enough potassium. At the potassium starvation, the plant uses also the high-affinity potassium channel for the potassium uptake. There is the high discrimination against 137Cs in this case.

Calculations and experimental studies of Raman scattering spectra show that there is a dimeric aggregation of benzene molecules with the molecule of methyl alcohol with the use of π-electrons of the benzene ring. In this process, the H-active hydrogen atom of O–H group is oriented to the edge of the benzene ring (a distance along the normal to the plane of the benzene ring is 2.850 Å). The unusual position of the H-active hydrogen atom is conditioned by the interaction of two hydrogen atoms of the alcohol's methyl group with π-electrons of the benzene ring. In Raman scattering spectra, the aggregation of molecules in the liquid state of the substance leads to a broadening of the band of full-symmetric vibrations with the maximum at 992 cm–1, as well as to a shift of this band toward lower frequencies by ~1 cm–1. The band at 992 cm–1 is narrowed more than twice at the strong dilution of the benzene–methyl alcohol mixture by a large amount of heptane. The aggregation of benzene molecules takes place also with the molecules of formic acid with the use of π-electrons of the benzene ring. As in the case of the benzene–methyl alcohol mixture, the H-active hydrogen atom of O–H group of the acid is shifted toward the edge of the benzene ring. The energy of the benzene–formic acid dimerization is 9.2 kJ/mole.

The size and temperature dependences of the surface plasmon energy are studied for silver nanoparticles embedded in a silica host matrix in the size range 11–30 nm and in the temperature interval 293–650 K. It is revealed that the surface plasmon energy in studied silver nanoparticles depends on the size and the temperature of nanoparticles. As the size of nanoparticles decreases or the temperature increases, the surface plasmon resonance shifts to the red side.When the size of nanoparticles decreases, the rate of scattering of the conduction electrons on the nanoparticle surface increases, which results in a nonlinear red shift of the surface plasmon resonance. The temperature dependence of the red shift is linear for larger nanoparticles and becomes nonlinear for smaller ones. It is shown that the volume thermal expansion of nanoparticles leads to a red shift of the surface plasmon resonance, as the temperature increases. It is revealed that the thermal volume expansion coefficient depends on the size and the temperature. It increases with decrease of the nanoparticle size and with increase of the temperature.

Published: January 2022

Idiopathic congenital clubfoot is the most common serious musculoskeletal birth defect in the United States and the world. The natural history of the deformity is to persist into adult life with a significant decrease in function and quality of life. The Ponseti method (serial casting, Achilles tenotomy, and bracing of the clubfoot) has become the most effective and accepted treatment of children born with clubfoot worldwide. The treatment is successful, particularly when the Ponseti-trained practitioner (often a pediatric orthopedic surgeon), the primary care clinician, and the family work together to facilitate success. An important factor in the ultimate success of the Ponseti method is parental understanding of the bracing phase. There is a very high rate of recurrent deformity when bracing is not done properly or is stopped prematurely. The importance of positive education and support for the parents to complete the entire treatment protocol cannot be overstated. The goal of treatment is a deformity-free, functional, comfortable foot. Ponseti clubfoot programs have been launched in most countries throughout the world, including many countries with limited resources. Ultimately, the goal is that every infant born with a clubfoot will have access to care with the Ponseti method. This clinical report is intended for medical practitioners who are involved in the care of pediatric patients with clubfoot. Understanding the standard of care will help these practitioners to care for patients and their families.
Valvular Heart Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Valvular heart disease (VHD) is highly prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from the early stages to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Aortic and mitral valves are the most frequently affected, leading to aortic valve and/or mitral annular calcification, which, in turn, causes either valve stenosis or regurgitation at an accelerated rate compared with the general population. Tricuspid regurgitation is also prevalent in CKD and ESRD, and haemodialysis patients are at an increasingly high risk of infective endocarditis. As for pathophysiology, several mechanisms causing VHD in CKD have been proposed, highlighting the complexity of the process. Echocardiography constitutes the gold standard for the assessment of VHD in CKD/ESRD patients, despite the progress of other imaging modalities. With regard to treatment, the existing 2017 European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery guidelines on the management of VHD addressing patients with normal kidney function are also applied to patients with CKD/ESRD.

En este artículo se analizan los factores y circunstancias naturales, económicos, sociales y políticos que han conducido a la institucionalización y la consolidación de las ciencias biológicas en Costa Rica, en dos siglos de vida independiente, a la vez que se resaltan los aportes de los principales individuos y entidades que han hecho posible dicho proceso. Para abordar este análisis, se identifican las siguientes seis rutas históricas clave: la condición ístmica del país y la cercanía del río San Juan, por su importancia potencial como un canal interoceánico natural; la paz y la estabilidad política del país, como una condición para hacer ciencia; el reconocimiento y la aceptación de las ciencias biológicas en la cultura local; la visión y la necesidad de nutrirse del conocimiento científico extranjero; las oportunas y fecundas alianzas científicas internacionales; y la conciencia de la necesidad de institucionalizar las ciencias biológicas. Es de esperar que de este análisis se deriven lecciones que contribuyan a orientar mejor los futuros esfuerzos nacionales en este campo.
Violencia cotidiana en la vida de las mujeres: Una aproximación al acoso sexual en espacios públicos costarricenses
Authors: Mesén Badilla Amanda
Published: January 2022

Este artículo reflexiona sobre los principales hallazgos en materia de acoso sexual en espacios públicos costarricenses, a la luz de las experiencias de mujeres que publicaron sus testimonios a través de la red social Facebook. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio basado en una metodología cualitativa. Se utilizó la técnica de análisis narrativo. Como principales resultados, se encontró que el acoso sexual en espacios públicos es una forma de violencia que ocasiona daños significativos en la subjetividad, organización de la vida y, cotidianidad de las mujeres. Existe riesgo de sufrir acoso sexual en espacios públicos solo por el hecho de acceder a ellos, sin embargo, algunas condiciones vulneran en mayor medida la seguridad de las víctimas. Además, el acoso sexual en espacios públicos es fundamentalmente una violación a los derechos humanos que impide el desarrollo pleno de la vida de las mujeres.
