Published: December 2024

El objetivo del artículo es analizar los determinantes sociales de la salud (DSS) que afectan a familias migrantes venezolanas, a partir de las percepciones y los conocimientos de mujeres inmigrantes residentes en la ciudad de Medellín, Antioquia. La investigación es de corte cualitativo, exploratorio y descriptivo. Se entrevistaron nueve mujeres inmigrantes venezolanas. Entre los DSS identificados están los referidos al contexto socioeconómico y político, donde se evidenciaron políticas públicas restrictivas que dificultan el acceso a los servicios de salud. En la posición socioeconómica se observan empleos informales con bajos ingresos y condiciones precarias, así como barreras de tipo administrativo para el acceso a servicios sociales. Existen condiciones insuficientes de habitabilidad de las viviendas y hacinamiento, además de entornos contaminados, alto consumo de SPA y situaciones de discriminación y xenofobia que afectan la salud mental de las mujeres inmigrantes y sus familias. En conclusión, los DSS deben ser analizados de forma integral y con un enfoque interseccional para garantizar la equidad en el acceso a la atención médica, proteger la salud pública y promover la integración y el bienestar de los inmigrantes.

La astronomía es una de las ciencias que ha estado involucrada en el desarrollo intelectual del hombre: ha dado explicaciones a los fenómenos que ocurren en el cielo y ha sido significativa en el desarrollo de las sociedades. Actualmente, goza de importancia en las investigaciones recientes sobre el espacio, y los nuevos hallazgos son tema de debate en la comunidad científica. Desafortunadamente, la astronomía se ha centrado en producir contenidos académicos y ha dejado de lado la divulgación al público. Las temáticas manejan un lenguaje muy técnico que abruma y produce confusión; además, son pocas las personas que se interesan en difundir sus contenidos y su margen de intervención es corto. No obstante, las nuevas plataformas digitales han promovido la transformación del conocimiento académico de las ciencias, adaptando la forma de enseñanza tradicional a una que involucre el aprendizaje autónomo de las personas. Por ello se propone realizar una cartilla digital que brinde un acercamiento a la astronomía desde un enfoque pedagógico y didáctico, traduciendo sus contenidos técnicos en un producto transmedia.

The effect of fasudil on the uterine scar model created in rats
Authors: Yılmaz Filiz , Aydemir Selma , Cilaker Micili Serap , Baykara Basak , Yilmaz Bayram
Published: December 2024

Background/Aim: Uterine healing post-obstetric surgery is crucial for maintaining fertility. This study investigates if fasudil has a therapeutic impact on scars formed by a full-thickness incision in a rat’s uterus.
Methods: We divided 21 female Wistar Albino rats randomly into three groups: control, scar, and treatment. The control group underwent no surgical procedure. We created a uterine scar model in the scar and treatment groups. For 30 days, the treatment group was intraperitoneally administered a single dose of 20 mg/kg/day fasudil dissolved in saline, while the control and scar groups were given saline. After these 30 days, all rats were sacrificed. We removed the right and left uterine horns from all groups. The left side was set aside for histological analysis, while the right side was used for ELISA analysis (alpha-SMA and TGF-beta).
Results: The treatment group exhibited an increased uterine wall thickness compared to the scar group (P=0.03), although there was no discernible difference when compared with the control group. Both inflammation and fibrosis were notably higher in the scar group (P=0.01) but absent in both the treatment and control groups. The ELISA results, measuring alpha-SMA and TGF-beta, showed no statistically significant difference between the groups (P=0.321, P=0.375).
Conclusion: Fasudil effectively reduced inflammation and fibrosis in our experimental rat model, hence preventing scar formation. We believe our study adds significant value to the existing literature by potentially expediting tissue regeneration.

Authors: Qurashi Muhammad Nasir , Xiao Cheng-Long , Alrasheed Khaled A. , Benjeddou Omrane
Published: November 2024

The optimization of injection molding processes for structural components is critical in construction management, particularly for enhancing precision, efficiency, and sustainability. However, existing research has not fully addressed the complex interplay of factors that influence this optimization. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying and analyzing five key constructs: Structural Performance, Material Efficiency, Sustainability and Integration, Precision and Consistency, and Design Flexibility. Data were collected from 249 professionals in China using a Likert-scale survey and analyzed through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that Structural Performance is the most significant factor (β = 0.943, p < 0.001), followed by Material Efficiency (β = 0.858, p < 0.001) and Sustainability and Integration (β = 0.772, p < 0.001). The model's predictive relevance, with a Q² value of 0.659, confirms its robustness and accuracy. These findings highlight the need for construction managers to focus on improving Structural Performance and Material Efficiency while integrating sustainability and ensuring precision and flexibility. Optimizing injection molding for construction components is challenging due to complex factors like structural performance, material efficiency, and sustainability. This study develops a novel framework using Structural Equation Modeling to rank these factors, providing insights for cost-effective, high-performance outcomes, and advancing sustainable practices in construction management. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-10-020 Full Text: PDF

Antígonas del siglo XXI. Proyecto de narrativas alternativas en un contexto universitario
Authors: Navia Mónica
Published: December 2024

Se presenta un proyecto con estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso en una universidad privada en Bolivia. Desde un enfoque de narrativa autobiográfica, se reconocen historias personales (microhistorias) desde voces que atienden a otras posibilidades de escritura. Se trabajó desde una metodología hermenéutica, en el sentido de que el comprender puede estar profundamente ligado con la escritura (el lenguaje). Se describe las diferentes actividades colectivas generadas en aula en consenso con los estudiantes y se expone las perspectivas de los estudiantes en relación con el proyecto. Los estudiantes tienen una comprensión situada de las historias relatadas y reconocen narrativas dominantes que promueven rasgos machistas, clasistas, racistas y coloniales en el entorno social y familiar; frente a esto, se pretende, desde la escritura situada, encarar o transfigurarlas reescribiendo la historia desde una voz personal desde la cual se rompa la doxa de las estructuras dominantes. Se trató de recuperar narrativas tomadas desde la ruptura del sentido común, en una dimensión hermenéutica, hacia el camino de la construcción de una escritura propia que pueda reconocer formas estructurales de la tradición en las relaciones de poder en el camino de la construcción de la autoría de cada uno y cada una de las estudiantes.

SOUTH AFRICA-RUSSIA RELATIONS THROUGH THE LENS OF BRICS: A STRATEGIC NEXUS IN A MULTIPOLAR WORLD
Authors: Prakash Aditya
Published: November 2024

South Africa and Russia have witnessed significant transformation in their relations especially within the framework of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa). The very existence of both nations within this strategic grouping reflects their shared commitment towards disrupting the status quo, i.e. the dominance of the global affairs and institutions by the Western powers and forging ahead towards a shared commitment to reshape the global governance in a multipolar world order. South Africa has occupied a unique position within BRICS; it is the youngest member of the grouping, and has leveraged its geopolitical influence in the African continent and simultaneously has not shied away from aligning with Russia on critical global issues. This paper traces the evolution of South Africa – Russia relations, their intertwining and collaborative efforts within the BRICS framework that has challenged the paradigms of economic and political governance of the West. The paper will also highlight how BRICS as a platform has advanced South Africa and Russia’s economic cooperation, especially in sectors like energy and trade. It will also look into cooperation on climate change and how both countries have valued in expanding the intra-BRICS trade and investment vis-à-vis sectors like defence and mining. Their support to New Development Bank (NDB) and the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) in reducing dependency on financial institutions will also be investigated. The study will also focus on how the partnership between both countries will carve out broader implications for the regional and global dynamics. While South Africa acts as a gateway to African markets for Russia, Russia’s geopolitical clout helps South Africa to align itself with one of the most powerful states in the world. The relationship is not bereft with challenges though, as both countries have divergent domestic policies and Russia is embroiled in its war with the West. Finally, the paper will seek to situate South Africa – Russia relations within the context of BRICS for their shared vision of a better equitable global order, where their partnership and BRICS as a platform aims for global rebalancing and sustainable development.

Authors: R Janaki , Prathap S  , R Raman , Tony Wilson I  , Yuvaraj J
Published: November 2024

The use of cloud computing is rapidly increasing in many organizations. Cloud computing offers many advantages in terms of easy access to data at low cost. In a cloud computing environment, ensuring the security of cloud computing is a key element. Users typically store sensitive information on cloud storage providers, which may be unreliable. Since a single point of attack cannot expose all information, distributing data across different cloud storage providers (CSPs) automatically provides users with a level of control over data exfiltration. The study focuses on how to make key renewals as transparent as possible to customers, using key renewal outsourcing and a method called cloud storage auditing, which verifies it according to the Protection Security Algorithm (PSA). The propose system minimizes the burden of rekeying on the client side securely outsourced to the authorized party. a client uploads a new file to the cloud, it only needs to download the encryption private key from the TPA.

Brands are the medium between consumers and producers which helps in creating a balance. Excess of anything will always harm us. Along with this, we should work on ourselves. There is a need to understand the psychology of brands at such times, when we are looking for the advantages and disadvantages of brands. By keeping these advantages and disadvantages in mind, both consumers and companies can make better decisions. The study of brand psychology is that which focuses on understanding what kind of feelings, thoughts, beliefs, behavior and frequency of purchase consumers develop towards the brand. It includes many aspects. Such as emotional attachment (with the brand), social influence, brand identity, previous and new experiences and decision making process etc. By understanding this psychology, companies make their marketing strategies more effective. Everything depends on the consumer, so it is necessary to know brand psychology.

There is no doubt that fashion has captured the current generation in every possible way. Also, the decision of what to wear and what not to wear is also in our hands.
A MILLION MUTINIES IN THE WILDERNESS: READING SUBALTERN INSUBORDINATION OF COLONIAL AUTHORITY IN PERSPECTIVE

Published: November 2024

To retrieve the voices of the subalterns from the pages of history, they need to be reiterated repeatedly. The voices of the subalterns were frequently ignored in the mainstream historical writings, and when they were recorded, they were chastised in the name of spontaneity and impulsiveness. Their resistance, history, and experience have got subsumed into the elitist record of the events, and they could not be expressed the way they should have been. This paper tries to record the little experiences of the subaltern groups and the stories of their resistance to the colonial authorities. These petty resistances were not the armed revolts or the organized insurgency against the colonial rule which could overthrow the colonial government in a short span of time. Rather, these were a million little mutinies with limited reach but they were no less effective in challenging the colonial narratives and the image they were trying to portray. These small resistances stood against the self-validating, self-authenticated colonial discourse and consequently posed serious threat to their authority. These little mutinies were not recorded properly due to their constricted scale and the lack of a wider and organized approach. This paper aims to foreground how effective and incisive these little mutinies were in their retaliation to the colonial discourse with which they paved the way to the larger aim of the decolonization of the mind. This paper tries to record the reactions, often in the form of satire, laughter, and even a sniff or a calculated silence, of the subalterns against the colonial authority and interpret them as a counter-narrative to the colonial one.
CULTURAL GLOBALIZATION AND THE INDIAN EXPERIENCE: A STUDY OF LITERARY REPRESENTATIONS AND IDENTITY FORMATION
Authors: Vats Nidhi
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the influence of globalization on Indian English literature, highlighting how cultural interactions have redefined its narrative and thematic aspects. It is hypothesized that Indian English Literature does not reflect or project; rather it is involved in, cultural interaction. It is this cross-cultural engagement over space and time that influences the thematic and structural aspects of the writings. The analysis examines the intertextual incorporation of ancient Indian texts and folklore, illustrating how these narratives have transcended boundaries and influenced Western literary traditions. Indian English Literature is examined in the context of globalization, with a focus on the defining characteristics of globalization as represented in Indian English Writing. These characteristics manifest themselves as Intertextuality on a truly global scale by virtue of India’s ancient past traditions with modern theoretical perspectives. Most scholars agree that texts from Mahabharata have found their way into Western literary tradition through their direct influence on Greek epics such as those by Homer and Hesiod. Similarly, many of the themes from Panchatantra’ became part of Cherevin’s ‘Isopet’ and stories from Jataka tales have been adapted in master texts such as Machiavelli’s Il Principe. Furthermore, it explores the importance of English as a common language in India, expanding its reach and enabling Indian writers to share a variety of cultural narratives on a global platform.

Influence of High RAP Content with Different Types of Fillers on HMA Resistance for Moisture Damage for Different Layers
Authors: Malik Zainab , Abed Alaa Hussen
Published: November 2024

Hot mix asphalt embedded on "Reclaimed asphalt pavement"(RAP) has the advantages of high technology. Moisture damage is a concern in these mixtures at all service temperatures. Therefore, the performance of this mixture against moisture at all service temperatures was considered a target of this research study. In this way, the effects of humidity on the performance of varieties were investigated using experimental methods including tensile strength ratio (TSR). In the framework of this study, Four different ratios of RAP for each of the surface and bonding layers (10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) and (30,40,50,60)% were added to the hot asphalt mix (HMA) for the two layers respectively to study and find the content Optimal RAP for both layers RAP through Marshall stability and hygroscopic resistance of asphalt mixtures through moisture damage is examined. The ratio (TSR) of the mixtures containing the optimal RAP content is compared with the asphalt mixture without RAP for three fillers and for both layers. The results showed a slight decrease in the tensile strength of the (HMA) that does not contain RAP compared to the asphalt control mixtures containing the reclaimed pavement, where it was found that the percentages were slightly higher and still higher than 80%. The results indicate that in general, Although there are old materials in the hot asphalt mix (HMA) produced from RAP, which include aggregates and bitumen binder surrounding the aggregate particles, the performance of these mixtures and integrations against moisture damage. Because it contains this, it can have results with “hot asphalt mixtures” containing RAP for areas with damage without worry in addition to good natural curbs.
Behavior of Reinforced Zero Cement Concrete Slabs under Monotonic Load

Searching for an optimal alternative to normal cement concrete (NCC) is an urgent need nowadays in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, reduce energy, and reduce waste materials. Therefore, this research aims to examine zero cement concrete (ZCC) slabs under monotonic loads with several paramedic studies including slab thickness (60mm, 80mm, 100 mm), bar spacing (75mm, 150mm, and 225mm), and molarity concentration (6M, 8M, and 10M). The results showed the behavior of reinforced ZCC slabs is similar to or slightly lower than that of normal cement concrete. Increasing slab thickness from 60 mm to 80 mm and 100 mm enhanced the slab stiffness, increased the applied loads, and reduced the vertical mid-span deflection. Decreasing bar spacing by 33.33% and 66.67% relative to 225 mm reduced also the deflection. The energy absorption was increased due to increasing the slab thickness and bar spacing. When the load increased, the slabs eventually failed by a typically visible punching cone (punching shear).
