Published: November 2021

Background: The esophagus exposure to stomach reflexes contents (or gastric content) causes an inflammatory sensation, bitter fluid movement from the abdomen to mouth and other troublesome symptoms are generally referred to as Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Aims: The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of gestroesophageal reflux disease in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Materials and Methods: This multi-center cross-sectional study was carried out on 150 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients admitted at Medicine ward and OPD at Divisional Headquarters Teaching hospital Mirpur and KMU IMS, Kohat for six months duration from October 2020 to March 2021. All the patients of either gender having an age range between 16-70 years and met the inclusive criteria were enrolled. The demographic details such as age, gender, duration, and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and Gastroesophageal reflux disease prevalence were recorded in proforma after obtaining informed consent in written form. Patients with a ratio of forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity (<70%) in one second and had no forced expiratory volume improvement after nebulization. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 150 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, 93 (62%) were male while females were 57 (38%). The overall mean age ±SD was 54.37±16.06 years. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease mean duration was 8.93±5.3 years. Out of 150 COPD patients, about 74 (49.3%) had Gastroesophageal reflux disease while 76 (51.7%) had no Gastroesophageal reflux disease. The GERD overall prevalence in COPD was 49.3%. Based on Gastroesophageal reflux disease symptoms, very severe, severe, moderate, and mild were 26 (17.6%), 23 (15.4%), 14 (9%), and 11 (7.3%) respectively. As per COPD severity, the prevalence of GERD was statistically insignificant (p-0.532). Conclusion: The present study concluded a significant association between chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases with gastro esophageal reflux disease. The prevalence of gastro esophageal reflux disease was reported at 49.3% among chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases patients.

EFFICIENCY AND INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY OF THE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY OF EAST JAVA PROVINCE
Authors: Lusi Sulistyaningsih  , Nita Ma’rufah  , Samsu Puji Estika
Published: November 2021

This study aims to analyze technical efficiency and to find out the main contributors to the productivity of the manufacturing industry in East Java, which increased in 2007-2015. On the other hand, this research also aims to determine the direction of the efficiency of the manufacturing industry sub-sector and the factors that influence the level of efficiency of the manufacturing industry. The level of efficiency that approaches the frontier signifies convergence, while divergence indicates that the level of efficiency that has not approached the frontier. There are 24 manufacturing industry sectors that were observed in this study. To calculate the value of technical efficiency, this study uses Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) with a bootstrapping approach with 2000 times the number of iterations. While the calculation of productivity changes in this study uses the Malmquist Index. Conditional beta convergence analysis (β), sigma convergence (σ), gamma convergence (γ), and stochastic convergence is used to analyze efficiency convergence. The results of the score of technical efficiency analysis show that the manufacturing industry in East Java is still in an inefficient condition with the electrical equipment industry being the highest efficiency score sector, while the furniture industry is the most inefficient sector. Technological progress at 54 percent each year is a major contributor to the increase in manufacturing industry productivity by 55 percent during 2007-2015. On the other hand, the results of testing four convergence models show different results, sigma, gamma, and stochastic convergence indicating the convergence of manufacturing industry efficiency, while conditional beta convergence testing shows an indication of the divergence in manufacturing industry efficiency. The GMM estimation results show that factors that significantly affect the efficiency of manufacturing industries are energy intensity, capital-labor ratio, capital intensity, and industrial share.

Isla de cenizas. Crítica social de la injusticia
Authors: Mansilla Torres Katherine
Published: November 2021

Este ensayo parte de un caso de injusticia social ocurrido en julio de 2017 –el incendio de la galería comercial Nicolini en las Malvinas de Lima– para analizar y reconocer elementos constituyentes de injusticias estructurales: historicidad, prejuicios, dinámicas excluyentes del mercado económico y menosprecio social. Con todo ello, se busca reflexionar sobre prácticas de injusticia que se insertan anónimamente en las relaciones sociales y en la vida académica, lo cual impide hacer una crítica o una revisión de posturas éticas y políticas para alcanzar nuevas comprensiones de escenarios sociales, los cuales continúan definiéndose y articulándose con el Estado desde aspectos negativos. El ensayo toma en cuenta las reflexiones teóricas de Michel Polanyi, Miranda Fricker y Axel Honneth, y propone una reflexión final que permita desarrollar nuevas interpretaciones sobre escenarios típicos de injusticia estructural.

This essay is based in a case of social injustice that occurred in July 2017 –the fire of the Nicolini gallery in the Malvinas de Lima. We want to analyze and recognize constitutives elements of structural injustices: historicity, prejudices, dynamics of exclusion in the economic market and social disparagement. We reflect on the practices of injustice that are inserted in social relationships and in academic life anonymously, which these prevents making a criticism or a review of ethical and political positions to reach new understandings of social scenarios that are still defined and articulating to the State from negative aspects. The essay considers the theoretical reflections of Michel Polanyi, Miranda Fricker, and Axel Honneth, and proposes a final reflection that allows developing new interpretations on typical scenarios of structural injustice.
condición tecno-ecológica. Heidegger ante los nuevos post-humanismos
Authors: Sandoval Rodrigo Y.
Published: November 2021

Muchas de las reflexiones contemporáneas sobre ecología parten del cuestionamiento de la excepcionalidad del ser humano. Se busca de esta manera el distanciamiento de todo antropocentrismo y, en consecuencia, un marco conceptual ―post-humanista‖. El rol de Martin Heidegger en la búsqueda de alternativas al humanismo es reconocido, particularmente, por su rechazo al ―antropocentrismo‖ de Sartre. Sin embargo, mientras muchos post-humanismos ven en la tecnología un factor positivo en el descentramiento de lo humano, son conocidas las críticas heideggerianas a la técnica y su comprensión de ésta como parte del mismo movimiento metafísico (y antropocéntrico) moderno. En lugar de tomar en cuenta sus textos sobre la técnica, en este artículo se explora la relación de Heidegger con los post- humanismos contemporáneos a partir de la analítica existencial del Dasein. En primer lugar, se considera la situación tecnocientífica actual, siguiendo a autores como Wiener, Haraway y Latour. En segundo lugar, se evalúa la relación entre Dasein, cíborg y animal, a partir de las lecturas heideggerianas de Hubert Dreyfus (What Computers Can’t Do) y Steven Crowell (We Have Never Been Animals).

Much of the contemporary thought about ecology begins with the questioning of the human exceptionality. By means of this, anthropocentrism is rejected and replaced by a ―post-humanist‖ framework. In this context, Martin Heidegger‘s oeuvre is credited for its search of alternatives to humanism, particularly because of its rejection of Sartre‘s ―anthropocentrism‖. However, while post- humanisms tend to behold the role of technology positively, Heidegger‘s critiques to the technique as a consequence of the same metaphysical and anthropocentric movement are widely known. Instead of considering the common Heideggerian texts about technique, in this paper I explore the relationship between Heidegger and contemporary post-humanisms from the perspective of his existential analytic. In the first place, I will briefly describe the contemporary techno-scientific context, following the insights of Wiener, Haraway and Latour. In the second place, I will consider the relationship between Dasein, cyborgs and animals, discussing the Heideggerian interpretations of Hubert Dreyfus (What Computers Can’t Do) and Steven Crowell (We Have Never Been Animals).
calidad de vida desde el enfoque de las capacidades en la crisis de la COVID-19 en Perú
Authors: Cornejo Urbina Franklin
Published: November 2021

El presente trabajo propone algunas conexiones teóricas sobre el enfoque de las capacidades para repensar el concepto de calidad de vida en la pandemia de la COVID-19. En particular, este análisis se proyecta hacia los contextos peruanos de desigualdad social y pobreza, donde la agencia y las acciones colectivas –como potencialidades significativas de las personas– pueden promover capacidades frente a la crisis ocasionada por la pandemia. Se concluye que las personas organizadas, en contextos de vulnerabilidad social se identifican valores comunes, como la democracia, la justicia o la verdad: se defienden valores constitutivos para tener calidad de vida y desarrollo humano.

The present work proposes some theoretical connections on the capabilities approach to rethink the concept of quality of life in the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular this analysis is projected towards the Peruvian contexts of social inequality and poverty, where the agency and the collective actions –as significant potentialities of people– can promote capacities towards to the crisis caused by the pandemic. It is concluded that organized people, in contexts of social vulnerability, identify common values such as democracy, justice or truth: they defend constitutive values to have quality of live and human development.

Tanah merupakan media tempat tumbuhnya tanaman. Tanah juga merupakan habitat bagi berbagai organisme yang hidup di dalamnya. Antara tanaman dengan organisme dalam tanah terjadi suatu hubungan saling ketergantungan yang sangat erat. Oleh karena itu populasi organisme tanah ditentukan oleh kualitas vegetasi di atasnya. Sebaliknya, aktivitas organisme dalam tanah juga akan mempengaruhi pertumbuhan tanaman yang pada akhirnya akan menentukan produktivitas lahan tempat mereka hidup (Widyati, 2013). Komponen tanah yang terdiri dari bahan padatan, air dan udara merupakan sumberdaya alam utama yang sangat memengaruhi kehidupan. Tanah mempunyai fungsi utama sebagai tempat tumbuh dan berproduksi tanaman. Kemampuan tanah sebagai media tumbuh akan optimal jika didukung oleh sifat fisika, kimia dan biologi yang baik, biasanya menunjukkan tingkat kesuburan tanah.Penilaian kesehatan tanah secara komprehensif dapat dilakukan berdasarkan indikator-indikator kesehatan tanah yang terdiri dari sifat fisik, kimia, dan biologi tanah. Namun belum terdapat standar tetap dalam menilai kesehatan tanah, dan belum semua masyarakat khususnya pengelola lahan pertanian mengetahui dan memahami indikator kesehatan tanah. Banyaknya indikator dalam penilaian kesehatan tanah juga dapat menyulitkan peneliti dalam menilai kesehatan tanah di suatu daerah. Untuk itu penullis akan membuat suatu sistem aplikasi yang dapat melakukan penilian terhadap tanah untuk diketahui apakah tanah yang akan digunakan tersebut dalam kondisi baik atau tidaknya. Aplikasi yang akan dibuat penulis menggunakan software visual studio 2012 dengan bahasa pemrograman visual basic dan database mysql untuk menghasilkan aplikasi yang berbasis desktop. Sistem dibuat semudah mungkin agar dapat lebih mudah digunakan dan dipahami oleh pemilik tanah untuk menilai Kesehatan tanah pada tanaman jagung.

Published: November 2021

BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are common prevalent in patients with chronic disease, and Chronic illness are long-lasting conditions with persistent effects and complications. Depression and anxiety disorders are well known to have a negative but significant impact on the course, outcomes, long-term survival, and treatment efficacy of patients suffering from physical disease. Given the high prevalence and potential negative consequences of this type of comorbidity in elderly patients, there is an urgent need for this study to be conducted due to the scarcity of statistics on the topic among middle and older adults in the Al-Qassim region. On the other hand, early identification of people who are more likely to experience psychological distress is critical in prevention and management strategies.

OBJECTIVES: To assess the severity of depression and anxiety, using validated self-report measures of middle-aged and older adults; and to determine the association between anxiety and depression levels and socio-demographic characteristics.

METHODS: In February 2021 and for two months, a cross-sectional study of middle- aged and older adults from Al-Shifa hospital at Al-Qassim region was conducted with questionnaires on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics, and validated Generalized Anxiety Disorders (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) anxiety and depression questionnaires. Two hundreds middle- aged and older adults participants of Al-Shifa Hospital participated in this study and agreed to complete the questionnaire.

RESULTS: 79% (n=158) of participants had minimal to mild depression and 21% (n=42) had moderate-to-severe depression; the average PHQ-9 score was 7.05 (M =7.05; SD=4.4), while 81.5% (n=163) of participants had minimal to mild anxiety and 18.5% (n=37) had moderate-to-severe anxiety; the average GAD score was 6.6 (M =6.6; SD =4.3). The significant predictors of moderate-to-severe depression in the logistic regression analysis were: male sex (odds ratio (OR):0.0.272; confidence interval (CI):0.101-0.730) and psychiatric disorders (odds ratio (OR):13.131; confidence interval (CI):2.975-57.949). The significant predictors of moderate-to-severe anxiety in the logistic regression analysis were psychiatric disorders (odds ratio (OR):13.080; confidence interval (CI):3.261-52.464). There was a strong significant positive correlation between PHQ-9 score and GAD score.

CONCLUSION: The study group had higher prevalence of moderate and severe depression, which was significantly associated with female sex and psychiatric disorders; while the prevalence of moderate and severe anxiety was significantly associated with the presence of psychiatric disorders. Our findings reaffirm the importance of providing appropriate specialized interventions to promote the mental health of chronically ill elderly, with a focus on high-risk groups.

Teachers, students and their families abandoned during the second wave of the pandemic
Authors: Piotrowski Marek
Published: November 2021

The publication looks at the Covid-19 pandemic from the point of view of teachers, students and their families. The author, contrary to the decision-makers from the Ministry of Education and Science (MEiN) as well as the Ministry of Health (MZ), believes that educational institutions are the real hotspots of the pandemic.
On the basis of a detailed analysis of the data provided by the Ministry of Health, contained on the servers of the Statistics Poland (former Central Statistical Office) and the decisions and messages of the Ministry of National Education, the author shows that during the second wave of the pandemic, educational environments were disregarded, which led to numerous problems and tragedies.
He indicates there is a need: to conduct analyses which take into account excess mortality and the participation of sick people requiring assistance, to carry out radical changes in the core curriculum as well as in external and internal exams and to verify the protection measures (including UV-C purifiers) before the beginning of the new school year 2021/2022.
The presented analyses constitute the crowning evidence of the need to establish self-governance of the teaching community.

The increase in satellite launches into Earth's orbit in recent years has generated a huge amount of remote sensing data. These data, in the form of time series, have been used in automated classification approaches, generating land-use and land-cover (LULC) products for different landscapes around the world. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a well-known computational method used to measure the similarity between time series. Tt has been used in many algorithms for remote sensing time series analysis. These DTW-based algorithms are capable of generating similarity measures between time series and patterns. These measures can be used as meta-features to increase the accuracy results of classification models. However, DTW-based algorithms require a lot of computational resources and have a high execution time, which makes them difficult to use in large volumes of data. This article presents a parallel and fully scalable solution to optimize the construction of meta-features through remote sensing time series (RSTS). In addition, results of the application of the generated meta-features in the training and evaluation of classification models using Random Forest are presented. The results show that the proposed approaches have led to improvements in execution time and accuracy when compared to traditional strategies.

: One of the most dangerous respiratory diseases is pneumonia, one of the ten leading causes of death globally. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a common infection in hospitals, which is the second most common nosocomial infection and causes inflammation parenchyma. In community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), we have various risk factors, including age and gender, and also some specific risk factors. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the deadliest nosocomial infections. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, VAP is pneumonia that develops about 48 hours of an artificial airway. Bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and other microorganisms can cause these diseases. This review article discusses microbial agents associated with pneumonia. Our goal is to gather information about HAP, CAP, and VAP to give people specific information. In this study, these three issues have been examined together, but in similar studies, each of them has been examined separately, and our type of study will be more helpful in diagnosis and treatment.
Urban circumstances in cerntral and southern parts of Serbia in the era of the King Milutin
Authors: Zarković Božidar
Published: November 2021

The era of the reign of the King of Milutin represents an important turning point in the history of the medieval Serbia. It cannot be said he was the initiator of either economic or urban development, but it can be noticed in his era there was a considerable step in this direction. The King Milutin himself showed an enviable energy thanks to it he enlarged his state and introduced numerous changes. By annexation of the areas in the south, the part of Serbian state became a territory which inherited the urban culture being inherited from the antique and renewed during the Byzantine rule. By the adoption on Byzantine patterns of behaviour, the urban culture was being adopted as well. The second important step toward the process of urbanization was the opening of mines and appearance of market places in their vicinity. In the era of the King Milutin in documents for the first time appears seven mining market places: Rudnik, Trepča, Rogozno, Gračanica (Janjevo), Novo Brdo, Lipnik and Trešnjica.Their characteristic was that they represented centres in which in initial period lived Saxons, but by the time local inhabitants will have been moved, which will be dealing with mining industry, craft, commerce and services provision. As the Saxon's community was restricted and without additional influx, by the time it will have been had assimilated into the Serbian one for those settlements as well. Close to Saxons, at least as per religion, were merchants coming from the Coast, and which were called by domestic population Latins. The King Milutin had issued several charts and letters to citizens of Dubrovnik by which he confirmed privileges and security to them. In that sense, it is important the chart issued in 1302 in Vrhlab. Besides the citizens of Dubrovnik, citizens of other coast towns dwelled in mining market places including some Italian communes due to which they represented multicultural milieu. In the era of the King Milutin these settlements were in their infancy, and the lack of sources did not allow their significant consideration. Nevertheless, those settlements represent a solid fundament and initiator for further urban development which will follow in subsequent decades.
As licenciaturas em matemática no período pós-pandemia: o que a extensão universitária sugere?
Authors: Costa Wanderleya Nara Gonçalves , Pamplona Admur Severino
Published: November 2021

A pesquisa inquere sobre permanências na formação inicial de professores de matemática no contexto da extensão universitária. Para isso, considera dois momentos: antes da pandemia e durante ela, na fase de isolamento social. Por um lado, remete a quatro oficinas sobre o uso da matemática na fabricação de artefatos simbólicos de algumas culturas africanas, levadas à cabo em 2019, numa escola de educação básica. Por outro, considera um projeto que diz respeito à elaboração de propostas pedagógicas em regime remoto. Tais propostas tiveram como mote conceitos matemáticos úteis para a compreensão de fenômenos relacionados à pandemia da COVID-19. A pesquisa, qualitativa, descritiva e de cunho reflexivo, tem o objetivo de propor ações para a licenciatura em matemática no período pós-pandemia. O olhar para os dados constantes em relatórios de nove licenciandos membros da equipe foi orientado pelas teorizações do educador Paulo Freire. Defende-se que, em tempos de isolamento social e após ele, é fundamental buscar a humanização, o diálogo e as relações entre os sujeitos do processo educativo escolar. As reflexões suscitadas apontam sugestões que se caracterizam como compromissos éticos, estéticos e políticos, necessários à produção de conhecimentos docentes para uma educação humanizadora.
Decifrando enigma em tempos de pandemia: a resolução de problemas como metodologia na aula de matemática do 6º ano
Authors: Kuhn Leticia Diello , Ballejo Clarissa Coragem , Braga Elisabete Rambo
Published: November 2021

O presente relato tem por finalidade compartilhar uma experiência no emprego da metodologia de resolução de problemas fundamentada nas concepções de George Polya em uma aula de Matemática na modalidade online, ocorrida no período da pandemia da COVID-19. Tal prática foi realizada com estudantes do 6° ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede privada de Porto Alegre - RS. A atividade, denominada “Decifrando o enigma”, cujo objetivo principal culminou na formação de uma frase secreta a partir da solução de alguns desafios matemáticos em arquivos codificados por senhas, foi dividida em quatro etapas: iniciando a atividade, definindo estratégias, executando o plano e refletindo sobre a atividade. Ressalta-se que cada uma dessas fases corresponde às etapas propostas pelo referido teórico, a saber: compreensão do problema, estabelecimento de um plano, execução e retrospecto. Tal prática foi muito elogiada pelos estudantes que se sentiram desafiados e puderam trabalhar em equipes, mesmo que remotamente. Considera-se que o uso de recursos digitais deve estar relacionado a aulas que busquem por inovações e não somente réplicas de práticas já conhecidas e aplicadas sem a utilização destas ferramentas.
Representaciones del cambio urbano: Buenos Aires en dos novelas de Payró y Arlt
Authors: Prieto Víctor Escudero
Published: November 2021

Entre Divertidas aventuras del nieto de Juan Moreira (1911) y El juguete rabioso (1926), Buenos Aires deja de representarse como mero escenario literario para convertirse en un espacio urbano moderno que busca su relato. En esa búsqueda, los protagonistas de ambas novelas reescriben el modo literario de la picaresca, pero, mientras el primero consigue articular los mecanismos para escalar socialmente, el personaje de Roberto Arlt experimenta la incapacidad de responder adecuadamente al mensaje de la ciudad para conseguir el mismo objetivo: Silvio Astier se verá inmerso en una ciudad progresivamente ilegible que terminará por expulsarlo. Así, el personaje de Roberto J. Payró plantea una continuidad entre la ciudad y su trayecto: el espacio recoge y habilita su ascenso; en cambio, Silvio advertirá una suerte de incompatibilidad con el entorno que lo irá arrinconando hacia la quiebra moral y la abyección. De ahí surgen dos estrategias narrativas diferenciadas que sintonizan los procesos modernizadores que vive la ciudad con la emergencia de la novela moderna argentina.
Javier Marías y las voces de los libros: los carteles bélicos como dispositivo icónico
Authors: López López Carmen María
Published: November 2021

Este artículo se propone analizar cómo las voces de los libros trascienden la palabra escrita para convertirse en mecanismo hermenéutico para ver y comprender el mundo. Para tal propósito el estudio aborda la relación entre palabra e imagen a la luz de la interacción de sus signos verbales (los libros) y visuales (los carteles bélicos). El artículo se centra en La Guerra Civil en 2.000 carteles –libro comentado por dos personajes (Jack Deza y Peter Wheeler)– con el fin de constatar la presencia de una doble codificación semiótica en la obra de Javier Marías al mostrar los carteles de guerra y escribir sobre ellos. El artículo concluye que los carteles bélicos se convierten en una estrategia icónica para reflexionar y mostrar el motivo de la conversación imprudente (careless talk). En síntesis, la investigación de las prácticas verbales y visuales del escritor pone de manifiesto una doble configuración discursiva de la guerra y examina las relaciones entre ambas estrategias a las que la crítica especializada aún no ha dedicado una reflexión minuciosa.
Sensory transduction is required for normal development and maturation of cochlear inner hair cell synapses
Authors: Lee John , Kawai Kosuke , Holt Jeffrey R , Géléoc Gwenaëlle SG
Published: November 2021

Acoustic overexposure and aging can damage auditory synapses in the inner ear by a process known as synaptopathy. These insults may also damage hair bundles and the sensory transduction apparatus in auditory hair cells. However, a connection between sensory transduction and synaptopathy has not been established. To evaluate potential contributions of sensory transduction to synapse formation and development, we assessed inner hair cell synapses in several genetic models of dysfunctional sensory transduction, including mice lacking transmembrane channel-like (Tmc) 1, Tmc2, or both, in Beethoven mice which carry a dominant Tmc1 mutation and in Spinner mice which carry a recessive mutation in transmembrane inner ear (Tmie). Our analyses reveal loss of synapses in the absence of sensory transduction and preservation of synapses in Tmc1-null mice following restoration of sensory transduction via Tmc1 gene therapy. These results provide insight into the requirement of sensory transduction for hair cell synapse development and maturation.
