BACKGROUND:

Bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS) are pathognomonic of neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), but the diagnostic criteria also include unilateral VS (UVS) in combination with multiple meningiomas (MM) and other schwannomas, as well as MM without VS.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the diagnostic value of these criteria and establish the presence of other genetic conditions in patients presenting in this manner.

METHODS:

The Manchester International NF2 database was accessed to obtain information on patients presenting with a UVS and MM or ≥2 nonintradermal schwannomas (NIDS). We gathered data on patients diagnosed with NF2 due to MM without VS and on patients presenting with MM without meeting NF2 criteria. Analysis was performed for pathogenic variants (PVs) in NF2, SMARCE1, SMARCB1, and LZTR1.

RESULTS:

A total of 31 of 131 patients presenting with a UVS and MM had a nonrefuted diagnosis of NF2 after molecular studies, in comparison with 85 of 96 patients presenting with UVS and ≥2 NIDS (P ≤ .00001). Fifty percent of patients presenting with a UVS and ≥2 NIDS with NF2 developed bilateral VS, compared with only 26% of those who presented with a UVS and MM (P = .0046). In total, 11 of 152 patients presenting with MM without fulfilling NF2 criteria were found to have a PV in SMARCE1, and 7 of 152 were confirmed to have mosaic NF2.

CONCLUSION:

Patients presenting with UVS and MM are significantly more likely to have a nonrefuted diagnosis of NF2 than patients presenting with UVS and ≥2 NIDS, but significantly less likely to develop bilateral VS. Seven percent of those presenting with MM without meeting NF2 criteria had PV in SMARCE1, and 5% had mosaic NF2.

Published: March 2022

Photoreactivity of three-coordinate triarylboranes bearing a neighboring Lewis base moiety was investigated. o-Anisyldimesitylborane underwent skeletal rearrangement under photoirradiation conditions to give (2-benzyl-4,6-dimethylphenyl)mesitylborinic acid after hydrolysis. Experimental studies and theoretical calculations supported that the reaction proceeded via a triplet excited state to form a spiro boracycle intermediate through C–H abstraction and radical coupling. This study disclosed unique difference in photoreactivity of triarylboranes depending on the neighboring Lewis base moiety.

Published: March 2022

Regulation of RNA abundance and localization is a key step in gene expression control. Single-molecule RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) is a widely used single-cell-single-molecule imaging technique enabling quantitative studies of gene expression and its regulatory mechanisms. Today, these methods are applicable at a large scale, which in turn come with a need for adequate tools for data analysis and exploration. Here, we present FISH-quant v2, a highly modular tool accessible for both experts and non-experts. Our user-friendly package allows the user to segment nuclei and cells, detect isolated RNAs, decompose dense RNA clusters, quantify RNA localization patterns and visualize these results both at the single-cell level and variations within the cell population. This tool was validated and applied on large-scale smFISH image data sets, revealing diverse subcellular RNA localization patterns and a surprisingly high degree of cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
Δυνητικότητα εφαρμογής προγραμμάτων αύξησης βροχής στην περιοχή της Κύπρου

Published: March 2022

Ο στόχος αυτής της διατριβής ήταν να διερευνηθεί κατά πόσον η περιοχή της Κύπρου προσφέρεται για την εφαρμογή προγραμμάτων τροποποίησης καιρού με στόχο την αύξηση της βροχόπτωσης. Αρχικά αναφέρονται γενικά και κλιματολογικά στοιχεία για την περιοχή ενδιαφέροντος και στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια ιστορική αναφορά στις φυσικές έννοιες της σποράς νεφών για την αύξηση της βροχόπτωσης καθώς και σε προγράμματα στατικού και δυναμικού τρόπου σποράς νεφών, τα οποία διενεργήθηκαν σε διάφορες περιοχές του πλανήτη, ώστε να βρεθεί η επίδραση της τροποποίησης στα νέφη και στην βροχόπτωση που παράγουν.Ακολούθως εξετάζονται οι συνθήκες ξηρασίας μέσω του δείκτη PDSI με δεδομένα από έξι σταθμούς σε παραθαλάσσιες, πεδινές και ορεινές περιοχές της Κύπρου και υπολογίζεται η τιμή του δείκτη PDSI για τον κάθε ένα από αυτούς. Η τάση του δείκτη στους πλείστους σταθμούς εμφανίζεται να τείνει προς ελαφρώς πιο ξηρές μελλοντικές καταστάσεις, κάτι που είναι σε συμφωνία με τις περισσότερες εκτιμήσεις για την περιοχή της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου.Στη συνέχεια γίνεται μια ανάλυση και ταξινόμηση για δέκα χρόνια (2000-2009) των συνοπτικών τύπων κυκλοφορίας που επηρέασαν την περιοχή και χαρακτηρίζονται από ασταθείς καιρικές συνθήκες. Επίσης γίνεται σύνδεση τους με την βροχόπτωση που καταγράφηκε σε 37 σταθμούς και την εμφάνιση νεφών έντονης κατακόρυφης ανάπτυξης και καταιγίδων όταν η περιοχή επηρεαζόταν από ένα από τους επτά τύπους κυκλοφορίας.Τα δεδομένα της βροχόπτωσης χρησιμοποιήθηκαν και για τον υπολογισμό μιας συνάρτησης η οποία μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως προγνωστικό εργαλείο. Μέσω της μεθόδου πολλαπλής παλινδρόμησης κατασκευάστηκε μια συνάρτηση εκτίμησης της βροχόπτωσης για τον κάθε τύπο ξεχωριστά.Τα συμπεράσματα της μελέτης δείχνουν ένα πρόγραμμα τροποποίησης καιρού μπορεί να εφαρμοστεί, έστω και δοκιμαστικά, καθώς η περιοχή επηρεάζεται από συστήματα που έχουν τη δυνατότητα να δώσουν βροχές, περίπου στις μισές μέρες του έτους. Παρόλα αυτά, η εφαρμογή ενός προγράμματος θα πρέπει πρώτα να αναλυθεί τεχνοοικονομικά, ώστε να αποδειχθεί ότι τα πολλά οφέλη της βροχής μπορούν να ληφθούν με επιτρεπτό κόστος.

Authors: Deepanjali Surendran , Jharna Mandal , Chanaveerappa Bammigatti , Sarumathi Dhandapani , Gopichand Pallam , Anupriya Kaliyappan
Published: March 2022

Background: Shawarma, a popular meat-based fast food could be a source of foodborne outbreak due to non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). A clustering of acute gastrointestinal (GI) illness following intake of chicken shawarma occurred primarily among the staff and students of a tertiary care hospital in southern India.

Methods: A case-control study was conducted among 348 undergraduate medical students (33 cases, 315 controls).  Data was collected using direct interviews and a simple online questionnaire. Epidemiological associations of GI illness were evaluated at three levels of exposure namely-eating food from any restaurant, eating food from the implicated food outlet, eating chicken shawarma from the implicated outlet.

Results: Of 33 cases, 26 had consumed food from a particular food outlet, 4 from other outlets, and 3 did not report eating out. Consumption of food from the suspected food outlet was significantly associated with GI illness (odds ratio 121.8 [95% CI 28.41 to 522.66]; P<0.001); all the 26 cases who had eaten from the particular outlet had eaten chicken shawarma. By comparison, only one of the 315 controls had eaten this dish. Of the 27 persons (cases as well as controls) who had consumed chicken shawarma from the outlet, 26 were ill. Culture of stool samples from 10 affected individuals and implicated food item yielded Salmonella Enteritidis.

Conclusions: Meat-based shawarma is a potential source of NTS infection. Food safety authorities should enforce guidelines for safe preparation and sale of shawarmas and similar products.
Ensemble of multimodal deep learning autoencoder for infant cry and pain detection
Authors: Kristian Yosi , Simogiarto Natanael , Sampurna Mahendra Tri Arif , Hanindito Elizeus
Published: March 2022

Background: Babies cannot communicate their pain properly. Several pain scores are developed, but they are subjective and have high variability inter-observer agreement. The aim of this study was to construct models that use both facial expression and infant voice in classifying pain levels and cry detection. 

Methods: The study included a total of 23 infants below 12-months who were treated at Dr Soetomo General Hospital. The the Face Leg Activity Cry and Consolability (FLACC) pain scale and recordings of the baby's cries were taken in the video format. A machine-learning-based system was created to detect infant cries and pain levels. Spectrograms with the Short-Time Fourier Transform were used to convert the audio data into a time-frequency representation. Facial features combined with voice features extracted by using the Deep Learning Autoencoders was used for the classification of infant pain levels. Two types of autoencoders: Convolutional Autoencoder and Variational Autoencoder were used for both faces and voices. 

Result: The goal of the autoencoder was to produce a latent-vector with much smaller dimensions that was still able to recreate the data with minor losses. From the latent-vectors, a multimodal data representation for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) was used for producing a relatively high F1 score, higher than single data modal such as the voice or facial expressions alone. Two  major parts of the experiment were: 1. Building the three autoencoder models, which were autoencoder for the infant’s face, amplitude spectrogram, and dB-scaled spectrogram of infant’s voices. 2.  Utilising the latent-vector result from the autoencoders to build the cry detection and pain classification models.   

Conclusion: In this paper, four pain classifier models with a relatively good F1 score was developed. These models were combined by using ensemble methods to improve performance, which resulted in a better F1 score.
APPLYING THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS (AHP) TO EXPERT DOCUMENTS
Authors: Repetski Edward J , Sarkani Shahram , Mazzuchi Thomas
Published: March 2022

This paper explores an innovative technique to elicit prioritization from expert documents using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Practitioners within domains that have a large quantity of expert literature can utilize these prior efforts to answer new questions. This method can solve some of the challenges of the AHP which include dealing with inconsistencies amplified by large numbers of options, locating experts with the availability and commitment to undergo an iterative opinion refinement process, and the speed of obtaining priorities. By extracting comparisons through rules applied to expert literature, this paper shows how prioritization for a number of options larger than 15 can be achieved using the AHP. Using the literature creation process as a means to gain consistency from a panel of experts, the extracted priorities are absolutely consistent. Further, the process can be accomplished without iterative engagement of experts which helps reduce time and cost. Overall, this unique application of the AHP provides those with access to a set of expert literature a method to quantify expert opinions in a consistent and cost-effective manner.
How does team diversity relate to the willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers? It depends on the diversity dimensions investigated and boundary conditions
Authors: Kotzur Patrick F. , Stricker Johannes , Fricke Ramona , McPhetres Jonathan , Meyer Bertolt
Published: March 2022

The successful integration of asylum seekers into the labor market is among the most pressing issues of refugee-receiving countries. We construe co-workers’ willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers as a crucial factor for integration and investigate its antecedents. Linking Allport’s contact theory with team diversity theories, we propose that a work team’s diversity affects team members’ willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers. We thus investigated the effects of different facets of objective (national, migration background, age, and gender) and perceived diversity in work teams on team members’ willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers. In doing so, we also tested whether asylum seekers’ status in the team hierarchy (superior vs. colleague), task interdependence, and pro-diversity team norms moderate these effects. Multi-level regression analyses based on 470 participants nested in 106 teams showed that, overall, team diversity played a small role in explaining the willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers. Age diversity was negatively associated with the willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers, especially when asylum seekers were considered to take a post as a superior rather than a colleague. In teams with high task interdependence, migration background diversity and willingness to collaborate with asylum seekers were positively associated. Pro-diversity norms did not moderate team diversity effects. Overall, our findings demonstrate that team diversity can have beneficial, harmful, and no substantial consequences for the willingness to work with asylum seekers, depending on the considered type of diversity and boundary conditions.
Development-Induced Displacement and Its Impacts on the Livelihoods of Poor Urban Households in Bahir Dar, North Western Ethiopia
Authors:   University of Gondar, Ambaye Getu , Abeliene Assefa ,   Bahir Dar University
Published: March 2022

This article attempts to explore urban relocation impacts on the livelihoods of poor households displaced by a development project in Bahir Dar city in northwestern Ethiopia. Qualitative methods were used to generate the necessary data. The findings identified that the urban relocation caused a variety of livelihood risks such as loss of home or shelter, lack of urban infrastructures such as road facilities, electricity, job opportunites, potable water services and cash compensation for rehousing, as well as landlessness and separation of small cohesive social groups (notably coffee members). Though IDPs are exposed to various livelihood challenges because of a lack of addressing environmental impact assessment recommendations, those who received housing land are partly happy with owning legally recognised urban land. Currently, IDPs are the owners of the land registered by the municipality. The study urges the need to assess and address the unmet needs of poor urban residents as well as the environmental impact of urban development projects.
Angolan refugees in South Africa: alternatives to permanent repatriation?
Authors:   Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa, Carciotto Sergio
Published: March 2022

For almost twenty years, voluntary repatriation has been considered by the international community the preferable, durable and fitting solution to refugee situations. However, the numerous range of socio-economic and political factors which caused protracted refugee situations in the countries of asylum and the reluctance of refugees to return have raised doubts regarding the effectiveness of these programmes. The existing body of literature on return migration focuses on migrantsâ€™ decision-making processes to return and on the challenges encountered upon their return including post-return reintegration and identity crises, but a limited number of studies address the issue of refugees facing repatriation to post-conflict areas. This article seeks to contribute to the available literature on repatriation by examining the case study of Angolan refugees in South Africa, the implementation of the cessation of refugee status and its consequences on the decision-making process. Findings revealed that the lack of options to acquire permanent residence in the country of asylum represented a major block to transnational mobility. The article addresses the urgent need to reshape the notion of return in the context of refugee repatriation towards more flexible forms of return involving periods of dual residence and back and forth movements.
Francophone transnational students, social exclusion and the challenges of adaptation at a South African University of Technology
Authors:   Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Pineteh Ernest , Mulu Thecla Mulu ,   University of the Western Cape
Published: March 2022

This article emerges out of qualitative data gleaned through semi-structured interviews with fifteen Gabonese and Congolese students at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) in Cape Town. It draws on theoretical conceptions such as transnationalism, social exclusion and migrant adaptation, to interrogate the social experiences of francophone students and their tactics for dealing with exclusionary practices from peers and staff. Using selected excerpts from the data, this article attempts to analyse characteristics of transnational student life, patterns of social exclusion and the challenges of adaptation experienced by the francophone community in this teaching and learning space. Against this backdrop, the article seeks to make sense of their learning experiences and the implications for the broader challenges of studying in a post-apartheid higher education institution.
From the Director: A Reflection on South Africa's Migration Policy
Authors:   Scalabrini Institute for Human Mobility in Africa, Carciotto Sergio
Published: March 2022

Albeit geographically distant, Europe and South Africa have a great deal of similarities in their management of migratory flows. As many countries in Europe, South Africa is a migration hub attracting numerous migrants, including refugees, seasonal workers, students, cross-border traders and entrepreneurs from both the rest of Africa and Asia. South Africa is also considered, like European states, a country with a generous welfare system, where over 10 million people are living below the poverty threshold and are relying on social grants as a main source of income. Moreover, because of its strong social and economic contradictions, South Africa is not immune to divisive populist politics and xenophobic reactions. Although up to now no nationalist anti-immigration party has emerged in the political arena, immigrant workers (amakwerekwere1) are often accused of stealing jobs and being a burden on the country's economy. On many occasions, the discontent of poor and disenfranchised black communities has raised tensions and led to violent clashes between locals and foreign nationals.
Harnessing Economic Impacts of Migrant Remittances for Development in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Critical Review of the Literature
Authors:   Ruhr-University Bochum, Nyasulu Themba
Published: March 2022

The recent rise in migrant remittances across Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the important issues currently dominating economic policy discourse in the region. Given the large volume of remittance flows, it is obvious that they have important positive and negative economic effects on the individual families and economies that receive them. Therefore, this paper critically examines channels through which remittance transfers affect microeconomic and macroeconomic activity, and suggests policy options available to Sub-Saharan African countries in terms of harnessing their development potential. The paper affirms that prospects for remittances to facilitate economic development remain high provided that recipient countries put in place institutional frameworks capable of mitigating the malign effects and enhancing the benign effects of remittances.
Security Risk and Xenophobia in the Urban Informal Sector

Published: March 2022

Whenever there are violent attacks on refugee and migrant businesses in South Africa's informal sector, politicians, officials and commissions of enquiry deny that xenophobia is a driving force or indeed exists at all in the county. A new strain of nativist research in South Africa does not deny the existence of xenophobia but argues that it is an insignificant factor in the violence. It is argued that because South African and non-South African enterprises are equally at risk, the reasons for the violence are internal to the sector itself. This paper critiques this position on the basis of the results of a survey of over 2,000 enterprises in the contrasting geographical sites of Cape Town and small town Limpopo. The survey results reported in this paper focus on security risks and the experience of victimisation and the experience of the two groups of enterprise operator are systematically compared.
Post-Migration Outcomes and the Decision to Return: Processes and Consequences
Authors:   University of Ghana, Setrana Mary Boatemaa
Published: March 2022

This paper examines the decision-making processes of return migrants, especially since the 2001 introduction of government programmes to encourage the return of skilled migrants who have the capacity to contribute their quota to the development agenda of Ghana. Structured questionnaires were used to gather information on the migration trajectories of 120 return migrants. This was followed by interviews that primarily sought in-depth understanding of the decision-making processes of the return migrants. The findings indicate that these migrants were motivated by, among other factors, the availability of investment opportunities in Ghana, completion of education abroad, loss of jobs abroad, the decision to join family, feeling homesick and difficulty in integrating abroad. The paper recommends that home country governments should develop conducive policies appropriate for addressing the needs of the categories of returnees based on their decisions for coming home and how their skills and resources could be channelled into development.

Revelation and Philosophy in the Thought of Eric Voegelin
Authors: Niezgoda Tomasz
Published: March 2022

The difference between revelation and natural reason seems to be as obvious as it is indestructible. Despite this conventional view, Eric Voegelin claims that this difference must be “swept aside” and “cleared away” as it obscures the sphere of original meaning and manifestation and posits the divine as an object. According to Voegelin, through recourse to the ancient philosophers Plato and Aristotle, we can discover that there is no natural reason at all but instead: “reason is firmly rooted in revelation.” Obviously, this requires a reinterpretation of revelation. It can neither be equated with the content of the Holy Scripture nor should it be confined to the manifestation of God in Jesus Christ. Rather, claims Voegelin, we ought to think of it as a primordial attraction, a movement drawing into the search for truth and the ground of reality. Such an approach may raise objections and provoke accusations of either subordinating philosophy to theology or misusing the language. As I attempt to show in the article at hand, Voegelin insists on revelation because it designates the original manifestation of the ground, and both faith and philosophical elucidation are two modes of responding to this appearing.

Die digitale Transformation hat weitreichende Folgen für unser Leben und Wirtschaften. In der entstehenden datengetriebenen Ökonomie werden neue Geschäftsmodelle möglich. Möglich wurde diese Transformation dank der überall verfügbaren, miteinander vernetzten Digitalgeräte. Sie hat zum Aufstieg von Plattformlösungen und zur wirtschaftlichen Dominanz von Digitaltechnologiefirmen geführt. Sie bietet Chancen, aber Fragen des Datenschutzes und der informationeilen Selbstbestimmung der Individuen müssen überzeugend gelöst sein. Wie können Unternehmen Daten in ihren Geschäftsmodellen optimal nutzen und dabei gleichzeitig das Vertrauen ihrer Kunden aufrechterhalten? Es gibt etablierte Formen: Datenpartnerschaften, gemeinsame Datenplattformen, digitale Marktplätze. Bezüglich der Vertrauensfrage wird das Umfeld anspruchsvoller und die gesetzlichen Anforderungen höher. Gerade Genossenschaften haben hier besondere Vorteile. Genossenschaftliche Ansätze spielten in der Vergangenheit eine wichtige Rolle in der Verwaltung gemeinsamer Ressourcen. In der digitalen Sphäre erleben genossenschaftliche Ansätze im Umgang mit gemeinsamen digitalen Ressourcen (Digital Commons) eine Renaissance. Genossenschaften sind besonders gut darauf eingestellt, eine Balance zwischen Individuen, Nutzung der Ressourcen und Nutzen für die Gesellschaft herzustellen. Sobald personenbezogene Daten im Spiel sind, werden das Vertrauen der Nutzer, Partizipation, lokale Verankerung und eine transparente Governance wichtige Erfolgsfaktoren. Hier können Genossenschaften mit ihren Werten im Vorteil sein. Deshalb sollten Genossenschaften ihren partizipativen Ansatz bei der Entwicklung digitaler Geschäftsmodelle beibehalten.

Cómo son los personajes inmigrantes en las series españolas emitidas en plataformas de streaming
Authors: Martín García Teresa , Marcos Ramos María , González de Garay Beatriz
Published: March 2022

Introducción: La oferta de series de ficción ha aumentado de forma considerable con la entrada en escena de las plataformas de streaming. Al mismo tiempo, en los últimos años la sociedad española ha vivido una importante transformación hacia la multiculturalidad, fruto de nuevos procesos migratorios. Sin embargo, este nuevo escenario audiovisual apenas ha sido objeto de estudios de investigación, pues la representación en plataformas constituye un área escasamente explorada en el contexto académico español. Por eso, esta investigación tiene como principal objetivo analizar la representación actual de la inmigración en las series de televisión emitidas en las principales plataformas de streaming. Metodología: Para ello, se ha efectuado un análisis de contenido a 38 series de creación española, emitidas entre los años 2017 y 2020, y a un total de 1509 personajes (n=1509). Resultados: Entre los principales resultados de este trabajo se ha comprobado que los personajes inmigrantes están infrarrepresentados y, cuando están presentes, apenas ocupan papeles protagonistas. Junto con la escasa presencia de este tipo de personajes se aprecian rasgos y características estereotípicas en sus formas de representación. Discusión: La presencia de personajes extranjeros/inmigrantes en las series de producción española sigue siendo minoritaria y su representación está sesgada y es, a menudo, estereotípica, como refleja, por ejemplo, la relación significativa entre la nacionalidad del personaje y el nivel socioeconómico con el que se representa.  Por todo ello, la nueva esfera de series de ficción españolas no parece reflejar la realidad sociocultural española a través de sus tramas y personajes.
Konstruksi Kecantikan Perempuan dalam Iklan Kosmetik Jepang Hada Labo
Authors: Yuliani Risa
Published: March 2022

The Hada Labo cosmetic advert shows something different by showing a model far from the standard of physical beauty that Japanese society believes. This ad tries to represent beauty from a different angle by highlighting skin beauty and self-confidence. So the purpose of this study is to find out whether the representation of women's beauty in Hada Labo advertisements using the main female model tends to deviate and even contradict the beauty standards of Japanese society. The researcher uses Stuart Hall's representation theory approach, which uses a constructionist approach that is in line with Roland Barthes' semiotic theory so that to analyze the data, Roland Barthes' semiotic theory is used. The concept of beauty used is the concept of Naomi Wolf. So that the study results were found, namely, in this advertisement, female beauty is represented far and even better than the myth of ideal beauty standards created by the mass media and the general public today. Lack of self-confidence and the tendency to compare one's appearance with the appearance of others are things that women often do.
Pengaruh Bunyi Bahasa Jepang Terhadap Penulisan Kata – Kata Berbahasa Indonesia Oleh Penutur Bahasa Jepang
Authors: Rachmawati Aliffia , Khasanah Ismatul
Published: March 2022

The form of a language can change over time given its dynamic nature; broadly speaking, that is the discussion in the field of sociolinguistics. Mastery of more than one language causes deviations, one of which is when expressing words from certain languages ​​by inserting sounds from other languages. This phenomenon is called phonological interference. This study takes data from Japanese speakers who speak Indonesian on the YouTube page. This study aims to analyze forms and describe the factors that cause phonological interference when speaking Indonesian. This research uses the descriptive qualitative analysis method. After going through the analysis process, it was found that the forms of phonological interference that occur include: addition, subtraction, letter replacement, and diphthongs. Based on the analysis of the forms of phonological interference that occur, it can be seen that the causal factors are differences in nasal sounds between Indonesian and Japanese, the use of open syllables, differences in writing methods, the absence of certain fellowship patterns, the duration of studying Indonesian and the presence of factors other than linguistics. So it can be said that the first language of a person greatly affects the pronunciation of the individual's second language.
Modelamiento de procesos hidrológicos aplicando técnicas de inteligencia artificial: una revisión sistemática de la literatura

Published: March 2022

El campo de la hidrología es una de las ciencias que se enfoca en el estudio, la planificación y la cuantificación del recurso hídrico, generando una magnitud significativa de datos, los cuales son indispensables en la rama de la ingeniería civil. Actualmente dichos datos son analizados por una variedad de técnicas, que entre las predominantes son las de inteligencia artificial (IA) exclusivamente aplicadas al modelamiento de procesos hidrológicos como lluvia-escorrentía, inundaciones, sequías, evapotranspiración, nivel de lagos y predicción de caudales. El presente documento realizó una revisión sistemática de la literatura publicadas entre los años 2015 al 2021 en las diversas bases de datos como, Scopus, Springer Link, EBSCOhost, SciELO y ScienceDirect. Para ello se estableció un proceso de protocolo en el cual se introduce la base de datos seleccionada, definición de términos de búsqueda y filtros de selección. En efecto después de considerar el proceso de protocolo se obtuvieron 50 artículos indexados además de 4 artículos y 1 libro de páginas web. Como consecuencia se encontró que las redes neuronales artificiales (RNA) son las técnicas más utilizadas para el modelamiento de procesos hidrológicos donde con innovadores lenguajes de programación se pueden codificar con mucha mayor versatilidad. A la fecha el uso de RNA se las está implementando con otras técnicas para generar modelos híbridos que permiten obtener mejores estimaciones.

Jorge Cafrune: migrar a la propia muerte
Authors: Arriaga Luciana
Published: March 2022

El siguiente trabajo propone una lectura de la figura migrante del cantante argentino Jorge Cafrune a partir de la crónica de Jimena Néspolo (2018) ¿Quién mató a Cafrune? Crónica de la muerte de la canción militante. Desde diferentes miradas, encontramos en este emblema del folclore popular la figura de la migración no solo como desplazamiento físico/espacial, sino también desde sus escritos (las letras de sus canciones), y desde su capacidad performática. La migración, para este autor desplazado, también es leída como un factor ideológico, motor para otros posibles desplazamientos y sus consecuencias.
Narrar la frontera: bordes de un género en desplazamiento
Authors: Maidana Melania Sol
Published: March 2022

El artículo problematiza en torno al género relato de frontera y su relación con el relato de viaje a partir del fenómeno del desplazamiento migrante latino desde la voz de una mujer indocumentada. Interesa indagar en torno a los lindes que dentro del relato se trazan en relación a sus fronteras genéricas, a la vez que se reflexiona en torno a los modos de hacer memoria y su escritura. El texto, dispositivo de conservación y elaboración de la memoria, es registro colectivo de quienes transitan la frontera norte. Se vuelve un acto pedagógico de lucha y de resistencia a favor de la vida, pues brinda una autoconciencia de unidad de la experiencia vital e histórica de los marginados. Su intencionalidad es transformativa de la existencia puesto que ensaya un modo resistir y (re)construir una grieta en donde la historia presente y la memoria histórica de los desplazados florece.
Un acercamiento a la poesía de Alejandra Pizarnik: desde el cuerpo hacia la simbología

Desde el principio el libro provoca la sensación de oír a un río cantor, en cuyas evocaciones poéticas el lector encuentra hilos de la historia del mundo quechua andino peruano.

El bautismo como rito que garantiza la inserción social en "Hwan usu"
Authors: Robles Valencia Renato Andre
Published: March 2022

En este artículo se plantea como hipótesis que el bautismo es el mecanismo que asegura una integración social exitosa en el cuento “Hwan Usu”. Para demostrar nuestra hipótesis, utilizaremos la categoría denominada ritos de paso propuesta por el etnógrafo francés Arnold Van Gennep. El trabajo básicamente se divide en tres secciones: la primera supone un estado del arte, apartado que nos posibilitará observar los antecedentes respecto a los cuentos de osos raptores. La segunda parte contiene el desarrollo de nuestro marco teórico, donde se definirá los ritos de paso y se brindará una clasificación de estos. Finalmente, en la última sección se realizará un análisis de “Hwan Usu”, asimismo se comparará este relato con “Juan Usu” con la finalidad de reforzar nuestra hipótesis.
