Liberales y conservadores en México: diferencias y similitudes
Authors: Vázquez Josefina Zoraida
Published: February 2024

La historiografia oficial tradicional ha perpetuado una visión simplista de los acontecimientos políticos de México en el siglo XIX como un enfrentamiento constante entre liberales y conservadores desde la iniciación de la lucha independentista. Esta visión en realidad retrotrae las posiciones políticas presentes en la guerra de Reforma a las primeras décadas del XIX. Así, a pesar de estudios como el de Charles Hale, El liberalismo mexicano en la época de Mora, 1821-1853, de Edmundo O'Gorman, La Supervivencia política aovo-hispana. Reflexiones sobre el monarquismo mexicano, y de Alfonso Noriega, El pensamiento conservador y el conservadurismo mexicano, algunos de los comentaristas insisten en la continuidad del liberalismo mexicano y rechazan el conservadurismo como una especie de desviación del republicanismo consustancial mexicano.
The Uniqueness of Anarchism in Argentina
Authors: Oved Yaacov
Published: February 2024

Anarchism is an ideology that has shown a remarkable talent for survival; it has been with us for some 200 years, since its ideas were first propounded by William Godwin at the end of the 18th century. The principal focal points of anarchism in modem history were in Italy, where an anarchist movement first appeared, led by Bakunin, and in Spain and France, where, from the 1880s to the 1930s, it amassed many adherents. In North and South America, it gained a strong foothold in the United States and Argentina, and more limited support in Brazil, Uruguay, Cuba and Mexico.
El Abanico y la Cigarrera: La primera generación de mujeres ilustradas en el Perú- FRANCESCA DENEGRI: Lima, Flora Tristán Centro de la mujer peruana/Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, 1996.
Authors: Berg Mary G.
Published: February 2024

This is by far the best and most extensive study to date of the concerns and public presence of women writers in Lima in the mid-19th century. It includes excellent analysis of the overlap between political culture and literary culture during that optimistic era of peace (before the War of the Pacific) and prosperity (guano exports), and the various chapters describe the effects of liberal positivism, the extensive participation of women writers in a new culture of literary periodicals and literary gatherings, and the topics and strategies of women's writing. Also included are fascinating sections on the changing fashions in women's dress (with the disappearance of the traditional tapadas, women uncover their faces as their words, too, are more often exposed to public view), the differences between Andean and coastal Peru, and the opening doors of education for women beginning in the 1870s. Works of fiction by the most prominent women writers of mid-century Lima are analyzed within the contexts of discussion of the inclusion of the traditionally marginalized (Gorriti); polarities of civilization and barbarism, upper and lower class, self and other (Gorriti, González, Cabello); and, finally, a new valorization of indigenous Peru in the writings of Clorinda Matto de Turner.
Frontera y poblamiento: Estudios de historia y antropología de Colombia y Ecuador	- CHANTAL CAILLAVET y XIMENA PACHÓN: Bogotá, IFEA, Instituto Amazónico de Investigaciones Científicas y Departamento de Antropología - Universidad d
Authors: Herzog Tamar
Published: February 2024

"Frontera y poblamiento" recoge los trabajos de ocho investigadores que se interesan en un marco común, tanto temático como geográfico: estudian un solo espacio de referencia -que cubre las actuales repúblicas de Colombia y Ecuador- y un único tema -la relación entre comunidad y territorio. La similitud entre sus contribuciones, sin embargo, no es más que formal; en cada una de ellas se debate entre diferentes conceptos de territorialidad y de frontera y en todas se demuestra la complejidad del tema, tanto cuando visto por los objetos de la investigación, como cuando observado por quienes los estudian. La visión es multidisciplinaria, incluyendo consider- aciones provenientes de la arqueología, historia, etnología, geografía y las ciencias políticas, y la narración cubre a menudo el lapso de tiempo que transcurre entre la época "prehispana" y el presente. Además de reflexiones genéricas (prólogo e introducción), la obra contiene artículos sobre la demarcación de la frontera entre Colombia y Ecuador (J.P. Deler), la relación entre límites étnicos y criterios científicos de arqueólogos (F. Cárdenas Arroyo) y la adopción de la antropofagia como factor de distinción entre diferentes etnias durante la época colonial (C. Caillavet).
El legado del autoritarismo: derechos humanos y antisemitismo en la Argentina contemporánea- Edición preparada por Leonardo Senkman, Mario Sznajder y la cooperación de Edy Kaufman. Buenos Aires, Grupo Editor Latinoamericano, 1995.
Authors: Viñas Ismael
Published: February 2024

No se trata del primer caso en que alguien que fue víctima de la represión y que figura como fuente de algunas opiniones directas en estudios ajenos debe actuar a la vez como comentador de un libro dedicado a analizar las violaciones a los derechos humanos en el mismo país y en la misma etapa en los que él fue actor pasivo, por así decir. Lo sé. Sin embargo, me produce una sensación extraña, que no padecía cuando estaba dentro y luché porque el mundo se enterara de lo que estaba pasando en Argentina, ni cuando ya desde fuera hice todo lo posible para ayudar a otros perseguidos y por denunciar a los represores. Es inevitable, pues, que parte de esa sensación se transparente en mis opiniones sobre el libro que reseño y que incluso yo no lo advierta; estoy curado de los rescoldos que me produjo el miedo cuando decidí dejar mi país, y menos aún estoy libre de otros sentimientos, como el odio impotente.
Las bases sociales y politicas del apoyo a la Unidad Revolucionaria Nacional Guatemalteca
Authors: Font Fábregas Joan
Published: February 2024

El debate en torno a las causas de los apoyos recibidos por los movimientos revolucionarios centroamericanos ha dado lugar a una extensa producción que, a su vez, ha contribuido a enriquecer la discusión comparativa sobre las causas de los procesos revolucionarios. Las causas de las revueltas centroamericanas, exitosas o no en sus objetivos, han sido un tema que cualquier monografía sobre la zona abordaba de manera más o menos explícita. Por ello, como tema principal o como apartado imprescindible, esta cuestión ha provocado abundantes respuestas, que han puesto distintos énfasis en factores socio-económicos, políticos o internacionales.
El horizonte americano en el imaginario
Authors: Tabanera García Nuria
Published: February 2024

Partiendo de la convicción de que América, consciente o inconscientemente, está permanentemente presente en todos los discursos construidos sobre la naturaleza, la realidad o las potencialidades de lo español, hemos considerado muy oportuno seguir el ejemplo de aquéllos que ya han analizado algunos de los elementos vivos en la constante aparición de América Latina en las diversas definiciones de la identidad nacional y en los distintos proyectos de nación esbozados en España desde el siglo XIX (Delgado y González, 1991, p. 267).
Literatura y filosofia en Iberoamérica: lo ensayístico en la literatura
Authors: Gómez-Martínez José Luis
Published: February 2024

La caracterización que hizo Alfonso Reyes del ensayo, al considerarlo como "centauro de los géneros", adquiere renovada dimensión en nuestros días. Por una parte, el proceso deconstructivo de la crítica posmoderna ha problematizado la legitimidad de las clasificaciones genéricas en literatura, pero al mismo tiempo tanto los lectores como la crítica literaria actual muestran un extraordinario interés por el ensayo. Los libros en torno al ensayo iberoamericano publicados en los últimos años ejemplifican bien la problemática posmoderna que presenta el ensayo como género literario.
Raça, ciéncia e sociedade: MARCOS CHOR MAIO & RICARDO VENTURA SANTOS (eds.): Rio de Janeiro, Fiocruz/CCBB, 1996.
Authors: Garfield Seth
Published: February 2024

Marcos Chor Maio and Ricardo Ventura Santos have compiled an excellent volume which examines the question of race and racial relations in Brazil. The anthology, which brings together the writings of mainly Brazilian historians and social scientists, provides an interdisciplinary and diachronic approach to the issues of race, ethnicity, and nation-building. Rasca, Ciéncia e Sociedade grew out of a conference held in Rio de Janeiro in May, 1995, and is divided into four thematic sections: race and nation at the turn of the twentieth century; the reinvention of race in the 1930s and 1940s; case studies of Brazilian race relations between the 1940s and the 1960s; and contemporary perspectives on race relations.

Historia de la educación judía en Buenos Aires, 1935- 1957: EFRAIM ZADOFF: Buenos Aires, Ed. Milá, 1995.
Authors: Clementi Hebe
Published: February 2024

Este es un trabajo bien documentado sobre las características de las escuelas judías, su trayectoria histórica en la Argentina, sus peculiaridades de época y sus diferencias en relación con las escuelas no judías. El hecho de que ellas ofrezcan un agregado de cultura judía, que varía según los tiempos que corren en el pueblo judío y en la flamante nación israelí, va dando paso a una serie de modificaciones en cuanto a su profundidad y vigencia, que delata el tránsito histórico del mundo en que vivimos y las alternativas que la afirmación de Israel conlleva en su irradiación.
Introducción

Published: February 2024

A few years ago, using the concept "visual culture" would probably have resulted in confusion (and consternation) rather than communication. That has changed. As Susan Buck-Morss remarked, "Visual culture, once a foreigner to the academy, has gotten its green card and is here to stay." Today, the study of modes and techniques of visual address is fundamental to thinking critically about the times in which we find ourselves, and crucial for an education relevant to a world undergoing an "image revolution" on a scale so unprecedented that we are warned about the dangers of "hypervisuality". Indeed, the incipient development of visual studies programs has been a direct - if tardy - reaction to the hegemony of images in contemporary society. The power exercised by the myriad pictures which inundate our daily lives has generally received little attention in academia because they are produced by new and/or "unrespectable" media: photography, film, video, cartoons, advertising, computers, etc.
Civilization or Reform? "Civilizing" Rio: Reform and Resistance in a Brazilian City, 1889-1930
Authors: Dávila Walter J.
Published: February 2024

THERESA A.MEADE: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1997 "Day by day Rio's citizens watched as the allocation of the capital's space reflected the divisions that had always separated the population by class, by privilege, by race, and, now more than ever, by culture." (p. 94) Rio de Janeiro's entrance into the twentieth century set the stage for decades of growing physical, economic and political distance between the city's elites and its working poor. The city and federal governments embarked on urban beautification and sanitation projects intended to create a European metropolis out of the tropical port city. These reforms further marginalized the poor, who were bullied into compliance with health programs, exiled to squalid suburbs as their tenements were condemned, and alternatively ignored or bilked by the foreign companies charged with building the city's water, lighting and transportation infrastructure. The city's projects presaged a long history of public policies justified as universal goods, but benefiting a privileged minority.
Setting the Virgin on Fire. Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán Peasants and the Redemption of the Mexican Revolution. MARJORIE BECKER: Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995.
Authors: Ginzberg Eitan
Published: February 2024

El libro de Marjorie Becker es un nuevo intento de comprender a Cárdenas y clasificar la Revolución Mexicana. Se trata de un esfuerzo particularmente difícil, dada la polarización existente en la historiografía que trata estos temas. Su objetivo es intentar salvar las brechas y examinar el período de actividad de Cárdenas como gobernador de Michoacán (1928-1932) y como presidente de la República (1934-1940) desde el punto de vista de la población a la que estaba destinada su política social: campesinos mestizos e indígenas del noroeste michoacano. Para ello propone ópticas culturales y genéricas, la utilización del lenguaje lírico (metáforas, símbolos e imágenes) y un estilo dramático (creando suspenso en el relato, con contrastes agudos, un apogeo fantástico y un final sorpresivo). Asimismo, emplea una metodología de investigación de las culturas (investigación de las conductas manifiestas, los valores, las auto-percepciones y las cosmovisiones, los mensajes latentes y expresos).

The Struggle For Democratic Politics In The Dominican Republic. JONATHAN HARTLYN: Chapel Hill, London: The University of North Carolina Press, 1998.
Authors: Beard Gillian
Published: February 2024

The book is informative and theoretically rich in its explanations of the struggle for democracy in the Dominican Republic. It is both a political history of the Dominican Republic and more broadly, a book about democratisation. In particular, it discusses the impact of neopatrimonialism: a system of rule in which "the centralisation of power in the hands of the ruler who seeks to reduce the autonomy of his followers by generating ties of loyalty and dependence" often results in a "blurring of public and private interests and purposes within the administration" (p.14), which has worked against the consolidation of democracy in the Dominican Republic. However, Hartlyn's approach argues against seeking uni-causal factors in contrast to previous works which have either focused on structural features of US imperialism or cultural factors stemming from a Spanish colonial legacy and the impact of personalistic rulers such as Trujillo and Balaguer. Rather than viewing these factors as determining the processes and prospects for democratic consolidation in the Dominican Republic, the author adopts a historical path-dependent approach to democratisation in which the historical legacy influences and interacts with political-institutional factors. Thus Hartlyn engages in the debate about structure and agency attempting to bring a more nuanced understanding to the processes of democratic transition and consolidation in the Dominican Republic. Overall, the book does this well.
Landslide risk management using geospatial technique: comparative insights of China and Indonesia
Authors: Ermanto Yakin
Published: February 2024

Landslides are defined as the movement of soil and rocks that form slopes. Landslides can cause environmental damage, property losses, and deaths for people in disaster-prone areas. This study aims to review and compare landslide risk management patterns in China and Indonesia from research conducted in 2019-2023. The method used in this study is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). While searching for literature using Scopus, Mendeley has a publication period of 2019-2023. The research findings show that disaster risk management also focuses on more than community knowledge in disaster emergency response. However, other elements need attention, namely road sections most vulnerable to landslides, slope conditions, river density, land use, GIS, resources, community participation, and training. In Fengjie County, China, landslide vulnerability is a significant problem, with about 70% of areas in the vulnerability zone very high. In Pengasih Sentolo district, Indonesia, nine villages are included in the very high-risk site, showing significant landslide vulnerability. The integration and application of GIS technology have greatly assisted in assessing landslide susceptibility and identifying high-risk zones. Conclusion: The case study in Fengjie County, China and the study in Pengasih Sentolo District, Kulon Progo, Indonesia, emphasize the importance of using geospatial techniques, particularly GIS, for landslide risk assessment.

Sand mining activities are not only carried out by the residents of Keningar village, but also by another parties from outside the region. The change of land use from crop land into sand mining areas has many impact on various aspects of community life, both on social, economic and cultural aspects. The purposes of this study are to know the perspective of the community of Keningar village on sand mining activities that has been carried out to date, their effect for the environment, and social life patterns of the community of Keningar village. This study use qualitative method by describe all the information. The information was obtained from observations and unstructured interviews with several informants found at the site. The results of the study show that there is a social change in the community of Keningar village, caused by a paradigm shift from farmers to sand miners. The driving force for this phenomenon is economic factor, the demand for everyone needs are high. This paradigm shift has many effects not only on socioeconomic, but also for the environment. Massive exploitation of sand, gravel, and rocks cause the lost of fertile layers of soil and reduce groundwater reserves on community’s crop land. The sand mining can be controlled since the government applied mining license instrument. However, there is still illegal mining carried out between the landowners and mining entrepreneurs by simple agreement. In reality, the indigenous character of the community of Keningar village is farmers and charatcter of “nrimo ing pandum” which actually can be developed to an advance economy without damaging the environment, through the intervention of the government, academics, or other stakeholdes. And one of them can be solved through education.

Authors: Siddiqui Dr Rafiq Ahmad
Published: February 2024

Objective: The objective of the present study was to detect early biochemical changes, in type II diabetics, indicating renal function impairment leading to Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Methodology: This study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry at Shaikh Zayed FPGMI, Lahore during September 2016 to April 2017. It was a cross-sectional analytical study and was done through nonprobability convenient sampling The study comprised of 50 diagnosed patients of type II diabetes mellitus (for the last 10 years) and 50 healthy subjects. Both male and female participants in equal number between the age of 35-75 were included in the study. Blood glucose level (random), blood urea, serum creatinine, urinary albumin and urinary creatinine were estimated and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) in mg/g was calculated. eGFR was also calculated using S/creatinine. The lab values of the study parameters were recorded on the designed proforma after getting proper written consent from the participants. SPSS 20.0 was used for data entry and analysis. Results: Mean values of random plasma glucose level, blood urea, serum creatinine, urine albumin, urine creatinine, ACR and eGFR of patients when compared with those of healthy group showed significant p-values (≤0.05). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in renal laboratory parameters between diabetic patients and healthy controls indicating the presence of CKD. In a developing country like Pakistan type II diabetes mellitus is an incidental finding due to lack of regular health monitoring and it is very difficult to determine the exact duration of the disease. Patients of type II DM develop CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) due to persistent high plasma glucose levels. Therefore good control of DM and regular monitoring of renal parameters will be helpful in preventing the development of CKD. Key Words: Diabetes Mellitus, Nephropathy, Chronic Kidney Disease, Urinary Albumin to Creatinine ratio.

Published: February 2024

Introduction: Amblyopia is reduction of best corrected visual acuity in one or both eyes that cannot exclusively be attributed to structural abnormality of the eye. It can be better treated if diagnosed early in life. Fixation preference is assessed in Vertical prism dissociation test (VPDT) to predict amblyopia while in Worth 4 dot test (W4DT) degree of suppression is detected which tell us the presence of amblyopia.

Objective: The objectives of this study were mainly, to assess the efficacy of Worth 4 dot test and Vertical prism dissociation test in screening of amblyopia in School going children and to screen the prevalence of amblyopia.

Methods: It was a Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from October 2020 to June 2021 at three Government Schools of Faisalabad, Pakistan. Non-probability random sampling Technique was used to screen out 400 subjects. All subjects were equally screened out with the help of VPDT and W4D test. Data was analyzed through chi-square and cross tabulation by using SPSS software version 20. Both VPD test and W4D test were performed in which fixation pattern and suppression were documented on self-designed proforma.

Results: There was a good agreement between qualitative measures of fixation pattern with VPDT and suppression with W4DT for the clinical determination of amblyopia (p < 0.005).

Conclusion: This study concluded that the prevalence of amblyopia was 8% in school going children and there was significant relationship in success rates and reliability of vertical prism dissociation test and worth four dot test in screening of amblyopia (p=0.00).

Material and method: This cross-sectional study recruited 86 participants who had pregnancy in third trimester of mean age 25 to 40 years of age and who are not diabetic, hypertensive and spectacle users in Eye OPD of Shalamar Hospital, Lahore. Their visual acuity for distance was determined by Snellen chart and Retinoscope. Chi-square was used for the comparison of qualitative variables.

Results: VA and refractive errors are the physiological changes during pregnancy, they are mostly transient and resolved after postpartum. The results of this study showed the frequency of myopia was 91.9% and hypermetropia was 8.1%. So, the myopia was the refractive error that is mostly reported during third trimester of pregnancy with symptoms of blurred vision, headache, itching.

Conclusion: Pregnancy causes refractive error and progressive reduction in visual acuity for distance and there is slight change in visual acuity for near. Myopia was the commonest refractive error during third trimester of pregnancy. The main symptoms reported during third trimester of pregnancy were blurred vision, itching and headache.
Innovation, Competitive Advantage, and Customer Loyalty: Insights from Live Streaming Enterprises
Authors: Jia Guan-qi
Published: February 2024

With the rapid development of e-commerce, giants like Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent have ventured into the live streaming industry, leading to intense competition among numerous live e-commerce platforms and posing challenges related to customer retention. Despite platforms offering promotional activities, consumers' curiosity often leads to frequent platform switching. Furthermore, there has been a continuous increase in e-commerce complaints, especially in the live e-commerce sector, with issues related to logistics, product quality, returns, and exchanges affecting the overall shopping experience. Additionally, the lack of brand differentiation among platforms has contributed to decreased customer loyalty. This study investigates the relationship between innovation capability, competitive advantage, and customer loyalty in live streaming businesses, utilizing 576 valid questionnaires and structural equation modeling for analysis. The results reveal that innovation capability has a positive impact on both customer loyalty and competitive advantage. Competitive advantage also positively influences customer loyalty and serves as a partial mediator between innovation capability and customer loyalty.

Authors: Gutierrez Castillo Ana , Tian Nana , Pelkki Matthew
Published: February 2024

The logging sector is vital to the wood supply chain supporting both the sustainable management of forest resources and the prosperity of the forestry industry. This study analyzed the immediate impact of rapid fuel cost inflation from February to May of 2022 on the logging sector based on a survey sent to 430 logging and/or hauling firms in Arkansas. We made a direct comparison between the January and May operating costs and production quantities. Results showed that on average logging and/or hauling firms paid about 50% more per liter of diesel fuel in May as compared to January; however, their purchasing frequency remained unchanged, and purchasing quantity for off-road and on-road diesel increased slightly. More than half of the firms received additional compensation from sawmills, averaging $1.4 per metric ton. The overall timber production declined in May with respect to January, but the firms displayed different reactions. Whereas 31.6% of the firms harvested more and 18.4% kept their production constant, 50.0% of the firms significantly lowered their production by 16.1%. There are several potentially confounding factors explaining the loggers’ different responses during the high fuel price context.
Current forest management intensity and cost associated with major forestry practices in Arkansas, USA
Authors: Godar Chhetri Sagar , Pelkki Matthew
Published: February 2024

Arkansas’ forestlands are largely owned by private landowners: family, industrial or corporate forest landowners (5.1 million hectares; 67%). Family forest landowners own 4.4 million hectares of forestland (58%). The costs of forestry practices influence landowners’ decisions in forest management. However, state-specific costs for forestry activities are not readily available. The study aims to compare the forest management objectives between family and industrial or corporate forest landowners and also provide robust information about forest management intensity and the unit cost associated with those activities. We employed an online survey to 318 consulting foresters working in the state. In addition, we used Forest Inventory and Analysis dataset in ArcMap (10.8.1) to validate the survey result. Among various forestry practices, landowners requested various services from consulting foresters, including chemical site preparation, thinning, timber cruising and marking, and timber inventory. The unit cost for mechanical site preparation was the highest among several forestry practices, and these costs varied based on forest types. Various stakeholders can utilize the study findings from landowners, forest industries, and policymakers in forest investment decision-making, which can improve sustainable forest management.

Published: February 2024

In this paper, we assess the development of the Iranian wood products industry over the past two decades. The sector is an important component of Iran’s economy with the potential for growth across different product markets. We discuss past, current, and future raw materials, production, trade, and consumption. Overall, the industry is fragmented and faces a number of challenges that hinder success in domestic and export markets, including lack of access to quality raw materials, problems with production quality control, and access to markets. Evaluation of trends and market patterns shows that the Iranian wood industry sector is developing continuously and has the potential for further growth. Considering the potential domestic and international market and the Iranian wood industry’s strengths, suggestions were provided to accelerate industry development, such as investments and efforts to facilitate wood raw material imports, establishment of new management methods and considering new technologies to upgrade the quality and quantity of production together with the profitability.

Peningkatan terbentuknya radikal bebas yang tidak diimbangi dengan peningkatan asupan antioksidan akan menimbulkan stres oksidatif yang dapat memicu terjadinya DM tipe 2 dan komplikasinya. Makanan kaya antioksidan dan tinggi akan serat direkomendasikan untuk penderita DM tipe 2 karena mampu meningkatkan kontrol glukosa darah. Serbuk pegagan merupakan tanaman herbal yang memiliki zat aktif berupa asam asiatika sebagai antioksidan dan sumber serat pangan yang dapat ditambahkan pada produk makanan utama berupa bakso daging sapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penambahan serbuk pegagan terhadap kandungan antioksidan dan serat pangan total pada bakso daging sapi sebagai pangan alternatif penyakit DM tipe 2. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimental, dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) dengan taraf penambahan serbuk pegagan yang berbeda yaitu F0 (0%), F1 (5%), F2 (10%), dan F3 (15%). Penambahan serbuk pegagan pada bakso daging sapi berpengaruh nyata terhadap kandungan antioksidan, serat pangan tak larut, serat pangan terlarut, serat pangan total, dan sifat organoleptik (warna, rasa, aroma, tekstur) dengan nilai p=0,000. Sedangkan pada mutu hedonik, hanya pada atribut aftertaste tidak ada pengaruh nyata (p=0,414). Produk terpilih adalah F3 yang memiliki kandungan antioksidan sebanyak 27,19% serta mengandung 3,96 dalam 100 g bakso daging sapi. Produk terpilih memenuhi 26,4% dari kebutuhan serat per satu kali makan pada kelompok umum. Adanya pengaruh nyata yang signifikan dengan penambahan serbuk pegagan terhadap kandungan antioksidan dan serat pangan total pada bakso daging sapi.

Ancient environmental DNA (aeDNA) from lake sediments has yielded remarkable insights for the reconstruction of past ecosystems, including suggestions of late survival of extinct species. However, translocation and lateral inflow of DNA in sediments can potentially distort the stratigraphic signal of the DNA. Using three different approaches on two short lake sediment cores of the Yamal peninsula, West Siberia, with ages spanning only the past hundreds of years, we detect DNA and identified mitochondrial genomes of multiple mammoth and woolly rhinoceros individuals—both species that have been extinct for thousands of years on the mainland. The occurrence of clearly identifiable aeDNA of extinct Pleistocene megafauna (e.g., > 400K reads in one core) throughout these two short subsurface cores, along with specificities of sedimentology and dating, confirm that processes acting on regional scales, such as extensive permafrost thawing, can influence the aeDNA record and should be accounted for in aeDNA paleoecology.
