Authors: Araújo Alex Oliveira de , Segundo Claudionor Nogueira Costa , Gepp Ricardo de Amoreira , Gomes Cícero Ricardo
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the clinical and radiological aspects of the S2AI screw technique in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis undergoing deformity correction surgery by intraoperative navigation. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients undergoing neuromuscular scoliosis correction surgery with the S2-alar-iliac technique between 2017-2020. Results: In the total sample of 35 patients, 18 (51.4%) were female, with an average age of 14.9. The average preoperative coronal curve was 100° ± 26.2, with an average correction of 55% ± 16.3, with an average coronal curve of 44.8°± 19.5 at the end of surgery and 45 ° ± 19.6 at the end of follow-up. The average preoperative pelvic obliquity was 27.9°± 10.9, with a correction rate of 66.1% ± 27.6, being 8.2° ± 5.4 at the end of surgery and 9 .4°± 7.0 at the end of the follow-up. The average of operated levels was 17.3± 0.7. All 70 S2 screws had a diameter of 7mm. The average duration of surgeries was 416 ± 86 minutes, with estimated intraoperative bleeding of 921 ± 394.1 ml. The average density of screws in the sample was 1.3 ± 0.2 screws per level, and the average density in the lumbosacral spine was 1.5 ± 0.2. Conclusions: Intraoperative navigation can contribute to the rate of complications related to the S2AI screw decrease; in addition, the length of this screw appears to have significant relevance in maintaining the correction throughout the follow-up.

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT Spinal cord injuries can have serious consequences for the individual, such as loss of motor function, sensory impairment, and alteration of physiological systems functions. Treatments for spinal cord injuries involve the use of drugs and surgical approaches. In the surgical field, there is a question about the ideal time after the trauma to perform the surgical procedure. The studies divide the time until surgery after the injury into two categories: “early” and “late”. To review the scientific literature on this topic, and to assess the relative effectiveness of early versus late decompressive surgery, we considered early intervention up to 24 hours and late intervention from 24 hours after the injury. For this, we performed a literature review and selected retrospective, prospective observational studies, clinical studies, and reviews with meta-analysis that compared the recovery time of patients with spinal cord injury after surgeries performed within 24 hours (early) and after 24 hours (late). The results showed potential for neurological improvement with early or even ultra-early surgical decompression (up to 12 hours) in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. On the other hand, reports about the advantage of early decompression when there is a thoracic injury are scarce. In addition to the time to decompression, the concomitant use of some drugs seems to play an important role in patients’ recovery. Level of Evidence II; Literature review.

Effects of Social Anxiety over COVID-19 and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on SNS Addiction Proneness
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Kim Yeong-Gug , Woo Eun-Ju
Published: October 2022

Purpose - This study determined the structural relationships among constructs (social anxiety over COVID-19, fear of missing out: FoMO, and SNS addiction proneness) considering reasons that MZ generations use SNS to overcome the fear of ‘COVID Blues’.
Design/Methodology/Approach - A conceptual framework was designed based on past studies. To achieve the research aims, an online survey was carried out. After 250 self-administered questionnaires were distributed to MZ Generations, 214 usable questionnaires were obtained.
Findings - The relationships among five constructs (social anxiety, trait-FoMO, state-FoMO, behavior activation system(BAS), and SNS addiction proneness) were measured using structural equation modeling. A proposed model was examined, and the overall measurement model described the relationships among constructs. With the exception of the effect of social anxiety on trait-FoMO, the underlying dimensions have a significant effect on SNS addiction proneness.
Research Implications - These findings have theoretical implications for the determining what affects the FoMO of MZ generations and their SNS addiction proneness. Based on the study findings, the study should enable mangers and those involved to engage the effects of COVID-19, FoMO, and SNS addiction proneness on MZ generations.
A Study on Expansion of the Himalaya Clause to the Independent Contractors: Based on the Cases in the United States
Authors:   The Korea International Trade Research Institute, Kim Young-Ju
Published: October 2022

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review the doctrine of privity of contracts under common law and to analyze some issues of Himalaya Clause cases under carriage of goods by sea in United States.
Design/Methodology/Approach - This paper studies scopes, application, and requirements of the Himalaya Clause by analyzing cases in the United States, such as Robert C. Herd & Co., Inc., v. Krawill Machinery Corp., 359 U.S. 297 (1959), and Norfolk Southern Railway Co. v. James N. Kirby, Pty. Ltd., 125 S.Ct. 385 (2004).
Findings - This paper confirms that contracts for the carriage of goods by sea must be construed like any other contracts: by their terms and consistent with the intent of the parties. Also, the paper finds that an independent contractor such as a stevedore, a terminal operator, an inland carrier, and a railroad, could be the beneficiary of a valid Himalaya Clause by analyzing U.S. courts cases.
Research Implications - This paper sheds light on some legal issues surrounding the Himalaya Clause by comparative review. Also, it offers practical implications and suggestions that revise some articles of the Korean Commercial Code for the extended application of the Himalaya Clause.

Published: October 2022

A literatura de redes informais de aglomerações de empresas tem sido amplamente estudada nos últimos 30 anos. Porém, não se conhece com clareza a influência das relações sociais das redes informais nos aglomerados varejistas locais, assim como, pouco se avançou sobre o impacto destes aglomerados no desenvolvimento econômico de suas regiões. Este artigo teve por objetivo identificar as relações sociais de redes informais de empresas pertencentes à aglomerados varejistas; comparar tais relações sociais com os dados de desenvolvimento econômico dos aglomerados; e formular proposições para estudos futuros a partir da discussão dos achados com a literatura. Para tanto, 558 empresas pertencentes a 20 aglomerados localizados no Rio Grande do Sul foram entrevistadas. Propriedades estruturais das relações sociais foram mapeadas por meio do software UCINET. Aglomerados foram agrupados, sendo que as medidas de ARS e desempenhos econômicos de tais grupos foram analisadas e comparadas por meio do software SPSS, evidenciando-se diferenças entre eles por meio da aplicação do Teste Anova. Como resultado, o estudo concluiu que aglomerados com maior desempenho econômico apresentam relações sociais fracas em termos de densidade, número de laços, reciprocidade, outdegree, indegree e maior distância média. Esse artigo contribui para a literatura de aglomerados ao investigar as relações sociais de aglomerados varejistas locais a partir da utilização do método de ARS. Também, contribui para o desenvolvimento regional do estado ao explorar a relação entre aglomerações e o valor agregado bruto de serviço regional.

Authors: Schmitz Heribert , Farias Elielson Soares
Published: October 2022

O artigo analisa a persistência da ação coletiva na Cooperativa Agroleiteira da Transamazônica (Coopetra), no Oeste do Estado do Pará, e as estratégias adotadas pelos agricultores familiares para manter a agroindústria e a cooperação que viabilizam o seu modo de vida. Os métodos de pesquisa foram observação direta e participante, entrevistas com o uso de questionários estruturados e semi-estruturados e pesquisa documental. As observações foram feitas nas assembleias gerais e nas reuniões do Conselho de Administração da Cooperativa. As entrevistas foram realizadas nos estabelecimentos rurais dos agricultores, no período de 2013 a 2014. A categoria central deste artigo é a ação coletiva. Para compreender a ação coletiva dos atores, que resulta na persistência da cooperação, apoiamo-nos na teoria da sociologia das organizações, com foco na construção da autogestão, nas formas de participação e nas relações de poder no interior da organização. Concluímos que a participação dos atores – os associados – nos espaços de decisão da cooperativa, a confiança e a relação de poder equilibrada facilitam a persistência do empreendimento.
O valor da floresta: trajetória histórica dos Paiter Suruí no uso dos recursos florestais na Terra Indígena Sete de Setembro
Authors: Barbosa Xênia de Castro , Chediak Sheylla , Cardozo Ivaneide Bandeira
Published: October 2022

A expansão da fronteira agrícola brasileira na Amazônia gerou profundas mudanças nos modos de vida de povos e comunidades tradicionais e em suas relações com os recursos naturais. Os grandes projetos de infraestrutura implementados na Amazônia, na esteira do desenvolvimentismo, promoveram usos desiguais e insustentáveis do solo, tornando vulneráveis as populações indígenas e seus territórios. Neste artigo buscamos analisar as transformações na concepção e uso dos recursos florestais pelo povo indígena Paiter Suruí, na Terra Indígena Sete de Setembro. O estudo baseou-se no método documental e as análises foram conduzidas com base no Ecossocialismo (LÖWY, 2013; 2014). Os resultados apontam para uma compreensão crescente, por parte do povo Paiter Suruí, do valor da floresta em “pé” para geração de renda, principalmente por meio do uso da biomassa florestal para sequestro de carbono; indicam também a introdução dessa etnia no debate internacional sobre a crise ambiental e o aquecimento global.
Desenvolvimento sustentável e resiliência socioecológica: agenda para uma transição sustentável dos territórios
Authors: Mansur de Moraes Souza Cristiane , Mello Bruno Jandir , De Miranda Gomes Anderson
Published: October 2022

Pressupõe-se que os diversos problemas relacionados ao processo de desenvolvimento das regiões esbarram na falta de consideração das questões e relações sobre o binômio ambiente - sociedade. Neste artigo, tem-se a preocupação com a seguinte questão: como fazer com que as comunidades sejam mais resilientes fazendo frente a um contexto de mudanças climáticas globais e à aceleração dos vetores de degradação ambiental? O artigo objetiva elaborar uma agenda de pesquisa e de prática social voltada a explicar e promover transições sustentáveis nos territórios, por meio de uma pesquisa bibliométrica a partir dos termos desenvolvimento sustentável e resiliência socioecológica. A análise bibliométrica centrou-se em identificar as principais referências teórico-metodológicas e as temáticas abordadas em estudos de casos brasileiros publicados entre 2000 e 2020. A análise dos artigos permitiu identificar três abordagens principais: a) estudos sobre a redução de risco a desastres socioambientais; b) avaliação da capacidade de resiliência dos serviços ecossistêmicos e; c) o desenvolvimento de políticas públicas para a gestão dos recursos naturais. O ponto comum entre os artigos analisados é a busca por identificar, analisar, avaliar e procurar soluções para minimizar os impactos negativos da ação antrópica no meio natural. Sendo assim, sugere-se como agenda para pesquisas futuras o exame de questões relacionadas, com o desenvolvimento de metodologias eficientes para a avaliação da capacidade de resiliência do meio natural e social, frente aos impactos de atividades humanas e das mudanças climáticas. Além disso, os resultados expõem a necessidade de uma agenda de prática de governança dos riscos e da resiliência, com forte participação social.

Published: October 2022

Articulando o enfoque teórico-metodológico da Cesta de Bens e Serviços Territoriais (CBST) com a noção de Produção de Novidades (Novelty Production), este artigo visa construir um quadro analítico voltado a situações inovadoras de “efeito cesta”. Parte-se, para tanto, da compreensão do enfoque da CBST enquanto o resultado de contínuos e acumulativos processos de construção social de novidades. Com o intuito de ilustrar a aplicabilidade desse quadro analítico, empresta-se aspectos destacados em quatro estudos de caráter empírico vinculados à configuração da Cooperativa Mista da Flona do Tapajós (Coomflona), situada no Oeste do Pará. A conjunção das duas abordagens evidencia no cenário amazônico em questão instâncias de governança por iniciativa de atores sociais capazes de articular atributos diferenciados e de qualidade, o que propicia a configuração de projetos de desenvolvimento que desviam de formas convencionais. Com base nas reflexões aqui suscitadas, é possível compreender a Coomflona como uma novidade organizacional que inter-relaciona distintos atores sociais na constituição de uma CBST, na qual estão imbricados produtos – móveis de madeira de diferentes categorias, biojóias, artesanato de couro vegetal, licores e alimentos - e serviços, com destaque para o turismo.
Interação entre políticas públicas e dinâmicas locais da agricultura familiar no Território do Portal da Amazônia - Mato Grosso
Authors: Sabourin Eric , Rodrigues José Alesando , Caron Patrick
Published: October 2022

A agricultura familiar representa um dos principais grupos sociais e econômicos no norte do Mato Grosso. Entender a interação entre as políticas públicas e as dinâmicas locais e regionais que afetam esse setor econômico é de fundamental importância para identificar as lacunas e os problemas de ordem política e operacional que dificultam o desenvolvimento da região. Este estudo visa analisar o impacto local e a apropriação das políticas públicas relacionadas ao desenvolvimento rural pela produção familiar e por atores sociais do território denominado Portal da Amazônia, que abrange 16 municípios situados no norte de Mato Grosso. Para tal foram comparados os instrumentos clássicos de política pública para a produção familiar (políticas de crédito, assistência técnica e extensão rural e apoio à valorização econômica ou à qualificação dos produtos), com novos instrumentos participativos de políticas públicas (programas do governo federal que valorizam a gestão ambiental e a produção sustentável). Esses dois grupos de políticas públicas se diferenciam principalmente pela escala de atuação: o primeiro tem cunho mais individual, associado ao dono do lote, e o segundo tem abrangência territorial, aplicado a um grupo de municípios. Os resultados demonstram uma aplicação problemática e deficiente dos instrumentos clássicos, em particular o crédito e a assistência técnica, o que dificulta a gestão ambiental e incentiva práticas produtivas pouco sustentáveis, embora com um potencial de diversificação da assistência técnica e extensão rural (ATER). Os novos instrumentos de políticas públicas com base no território, como o Vida Rural Sustentável têm proporcionado espaços importantes de inovação e organização dos agricultores, assim como uma maior interação com a sociedade civil local. Esses novos instrumentos têm fortalecido o reconhecimento e a importância da produção familiar para a economia da região, incentivando a mesma a buscar a melhoria de sua produção.  Uma produção familiar fortalecida, organizada e atuando de forma coletiva é fundamental para a promoção de um desenvolvimento rural que seja baseado na produção sustentável, que respeite o meio ambiente e propicie uma distribuição de renda mais igualitária.

Authors: Ochoa Juan Patricio Molina , Mora-Villalobos Carlos Albeiro , Coca María Mery Gallardo
Published: October 2022

Desde 2012, o Departamento de Huila e o município de Pitalito são os maiores produtores de café da Colômbia. Em 2018, Pitalito representava 2,2% da produção nacional de café e 12,7% da departamental. O objetivo deste artigo é caracterizar a cadeia produtiva do café em Pitalito e sua conexão com as políticas cafeeiras vigentes, como um insumo para propor propostas para melhorar essa relação. Foi aplicada uma abordagem de pesquisa mista que incluiu 3 estágios: pré-campo (informações institucionais secundárias), campo (aplicação de pesquisas estruturadas por amostragem em bola de neve) e análise de informações. Os resultados mostram que o café de Pitalito tem reconhecimento internacional de alta qualidade, porém, existem problemas de desarticulação na cadeia que influenciam preços, volumes e competitividade, que podem ser corrigidos com políticas ajustadas ao contexto regional.
Creation of Conditions for the Development of Hard-to-Recover Oil Reserves: Regional Aspects

Russia has great potential in terms of developing hard-to-recover oil reserves (HRR), which account for more than two thirds of the total reserves. However, relevant scientific studies mostly focus on geological and technical problems, while the issues of creating conditions for the effective development of HRR are often limited to recommendations for tax incentives. At the same time, little attention is paid to the problems of creating institutional conditions aimed at transforming the resource potential into real socio-economic effects. The interests of resource regions are also not taken into consideration. In this regard, the present study assesses potential socio-economic effects of the development of HRR at the regional level (on the case of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug — Yugra, KhMAO) and provides recommendations to create institutional conditions for the development of such resources. In order to establish an approach for analysing potential socio-economic effects from the implementation of HRR development projects, methods for evaluating investment projects and examining inter-industry relations were utilised. Dynamics of socio-economic development indicators of KhMAO, production projections of hard-to-recover oil reserves, as well as available technical and economic parameters of HRR development projects in Russia and abroad were considered. The calculations show that the development of hard-to-recover oil reserves will help stabilise production volumes in KhMAO and generate significant direct and indirect effects associated with tax revenues increase, maintenance of related industries and employment. The study results can be used to develop strategic documents for oil and gas regions. Future research will analyse interregional relationships aimed at ensuring the extraction of hard-to-recover oil using innovative equipment, and providing high-tech services.
Strategic Planning of Regional Forest Development Based on the Principles of Green Economy
Authors:   Baikal State University, Anufrieva A. A. , Devyatova N. S. ,   Baikal State University
Published: October 2022

In recent decades, the issues of rational use of natural resources and sustainable development of ecosystems (where forests are an important element) became acute. Forest management requires new approaches in order to create a forestry development strategy in accordance with the principles of green economy, including at the regional level. The article presents conceptual provisions of strategic forest management of regions from the perspective of sustainable development. When planning the socio-economic development of a region, it is necessary to consider the revenue and resource potential of its forest management system and strive to achieve a balance between forest exploitation and reforestation. In this connection, the key parameters for choosing strategic alternatives are the intensity of forest use (forest exploitation) and reforestation. After recording the values of indicators for specific forest territorial units, we constructed a positioning map as the basis for strategic development maps. The proposed approach was tested using data on regional forestry retrieved from the Ministry of Forestry of the Irkutsk Region and Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Irkutsk region. Over the past decades, an increase in forest resource extraction in the Irkutsk region was noted. Regional forest development is characterised by excessive intensity and irregularity of timber harvest, as well as by ineffective reproduction and low productivity of forests, aggravated by large-scale fires. The positioning map of regional forestry in the Irkutsk region clearly demonstrates that the forestry development strategy based on the principles of green economy cannot be implemented in more than half of forest territorial units due to their strategic positioning.
Analysis of the Climate — Economy Relationship in Russian Cities
Authors:   Belgorod State National Research University, Manaeva I. V.
Published: October 2022

Global climate change is an important factor determining the dynamics and significant parameters of the development of the world economy in general and Russian economy in particular. Thus, specific methodological approaches and models should be developed to assess the climate — economy relationship in order to make science-based management decisions. The research aims to create and test a methodology for analysing the relationship between climate and urban economic development in Russian cities. Data of the Federal State Statistics Service was examined; the average annual temperature was calculated according to the information presented on the Weather and Climate portal. The study considers Russian cities with a population of over 100 thousand people in the period from 2009 to 2019. A communication coordination coefficient (CCC), determining the existence and extent of the relationship between climate and economy in Russian cities, can be obtained using the calculations presented in the author’s methodology. Moscow and Saint Petersburg are characterised by stably high values of CCC. The coefficient values range from uncoordinated to base level. The best communication coordination is observed in economically developed cities. Generally, the climate — economy relationship in Russian cities is characterised by a high differentiation and spatial heterogeneity of the communication coordination coefficient, since the Gini coefficient for this indicator varies from 0.56 (Ural Federal District in 2019) to 0.88 (Central Federal District in 2017, 2019). The lack of significant changes in the dynamics of communication coordination in the period 2009-2019 indicates the stability of Russian urban systems. The obtained quantitative estimates may become a prerequisite for the creation of an environmental and economic development management section in urban strategies and part of the environmental policy of Russian regions.

The realisation of spatial justice, guaranteeing the quality of life for all citizens and the prohibition of citizens’ exclusion are the fundamental principles of optimal urban management. Social seclusion is associated with social policies such as education, health, housing, employment, crime, welfare, poverty alleviation, etc. The spatial problems in Tehran are due to the political organising and political management of space in Iran on a micro and macro scale during the last hundred years. Tehran as the major metropolis of Iran has a special significance in the Iranian urban system; but in terms of spatial justice, the distribution of urban services across its districts is considered heterogeneous. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the status of “Spatial Justice of Tehran” in terms of urban services and examine the level of difference between districts. Mixed method is used in this research. The results show that the distribution of urban services is not just in 22 districts of Tehran. According to the findings, district 1 has the highest level of services and districts 17 and 9 have the lowest levels of services.
Protection of Geographical Indications in International Trade: Prospects for Russia

Geographical indications (GIs) represent the intellectual property rights, which protection could play a significant role in the increasing regional and national trade. The paper reveals the impact of protected GIs on international trade and provides certain recommendations for Russia. There is an evident gap in the study of the GIs effect on the development of trade links, especially for Russian enterprises. The paper applies the gravity model of trade and tests three hypotheses, whether the more protected geographical indications both exporting and importing countries have, the higher the volume of export of GI protected goods going out of this particular country and whether the existence of a trade agreement with specific provisions on the GIs protection increases trade between its members. The findings support one hypothesis that the more protected GIs the exporting country has, the higher the volume of exports of GI protected goods. Based on this result, we analyse the current situation of the GIs protection in Russia and indicate the positive trends in development of the national legislation and modern challenges in the implementation of GIs protection for the national development. The federal and regional support as well as the changes in the business strategies could lead to an increase in the Russian competitiveness. GIs could encourage the brand origin and promote the Russian products on the foreign markets.
Inteligencia Nacional Argentina: funcionalidad y presupuesto. Sus impactos en la cultura de inteligencia (1989-2022)
Authors: Vitti Jorge Gabriel
Published: October 2022

La inteligencia, una herramienta indispensable para la toma de decisiones estratégicas, no es visualizada por amplios sectores de la sociedad argentina como una actividad con la importancia y orientación citada. Este artículo explora algunos de los basamentos más importantes de la ausencia de la cultura de inteligencia, en un período significativo por la gravedad de los sucesos que ocurrieron en él, para determinar la existencia de bases normativas y su correcta aplicación en situaciones concretas. Se analizan dos de los aspectos más significativos de la cultura de inteligencia, revisando tanto la doctrina como las regulaciones, su aplicación e impacto: su función pública, íntimamente relacionada con la percepción de la utilidad y eficacia de sus servicios; y la asignación y el uso de gastos de presupuesto reservados. Finalmente, se presentan conclusiones y estrategias para la construcción de una cultura de inteligencia nacional, en el marco de un estado de derecho.

Abstract

Intelligence is an indispensable tool for making strategic decisions. However, it is not perceived as such by broad sectors of Argentinian society. This work explores some of the most important foundations of the absence of intelligence culture, in a relevant period due to several serious events, to determine the existence of normative bases and their correct application in specific situations. To this end, the most significant aspects of that vision are explored, delving into both the doctrine and the regulations, as well as their application and impact: its public function, closely related to the perception of the usefulness and effectiveness of its services; and the allocation and use of earmarked budget expenses. Finally, conclusions and strategies for the construction of a culture of national intelligence, within the framework of a rule of law are presented.
Enemigos internos e institucionalidad de inteligencia fuerte: León Febres Cordero y Rafael Correa Delgado
Authors: Piedra Cobo Lorena Yael
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se describen y comparan la estructura y la directiva de trabajo de la función de inteligencia en Ecuador en las gestiones presidenciales de León Febres Cordero y Rafael Correa Delgado. Al comparar dos periodos que institucionalizaron fuertemente la función de inteligencia ecuatoriana, el objetivo es dar cuenta sistemáticamente de sus similitudes y diferencias. A través de una metodología de base comparativa, limitada por la clasificación de las fuentes primarias, característica del estudio de los sistemas de inteligencia, se trabaja desde una perspectiva institucionalista, que supera la esfera normativa e incluye el análisis de prácticas no declaradas. Se concluye que los periodos analizados coinciden en una fuerte capacidad de determinación de la agenda por parte del ejecutivo, que por distintos motivos se enfocó en enemigos internos. Además, bajo un marco legal incapaz de establecer controles horizontales a la actividad. Por otro lado, las diferencias encontradas residen en el aspecto económico y en el beneficiario directo de la agenda de trabajo.

Abstract

The following analysis describes and compares the structure and mainframe directions of the intelligence function in Ecuador during the presidential administrations of Leon Febres Cordero and Rafael Correa Delgado. By comparing these two periods that strongly institutionalized the Ecuadorian intelligence function, the objective is to systematically account for their similarities and differences. Through a comparative-based methodology, limited by the classification of primary sources, characteristic in the study of intelligence systems, an institutionalist perspective is used, which goes beyond the normative sphere, and includes the analysis of non-declared practices. It is concluded that those analyzed periods coincide in a strong ability to determine the agenda by the executive branch, that for different reasons focused on internal enemies. In addition, in a legal framework incapable of establishing horizontal controls on the activity. On the other hand, the differences found reside in the economic aspect and in the direct beneficiary of the work agenda.
Représentations stéréotypées et réaffirmation identitaire dans le rap cubain
Authors: REDON Klemia
Published: October 2022

Même s’il émerge aux États-Unis à partir des années 1970, c’est à partir des années 1990, dans un contexte de crise économique, que le rap cubain prend de l’importance comme moyen de dénonciation, de rébellion et d’engagement. Originaire des ghettos noirs américains, ce genre musical est basé sur l’improvisation de textes souvent engagés, sur des dérivés de rythmes de reggae comme le dub ou de funk. Synonyme de liberté et moyen d’expression des opprimés, le rap cubain est un genre éminemment narratif qui raconte souvent des histoires vraies ou qui se présentent comme telles.

L’étude de cette publication se basera sur trois articles du blog « Negra cubana tenía que ser ». Ces trois articles partant de l’analyse des paroles de chansons de rap, dénoncent les conditions des Afro-Cubain(e)s sur l’île.
Nous nous focaliserons sur les différents points de vue et la manière dont sont traités les stéréotypes de genre et les stéréotypes raciaux aussi bien dans les paroles de chansons que dans l’écriture des articles.
NDVI trend in the Angostura Faical Regional Conservation Area of Tumbes, Peru, 1999-2019
Authors: Roque Ruben
Published: October 2022

The Angostura Faical Regional Conservation Area is a protected area of the Equatorial Dry Forest, which seeks to guarantee the appropriate use of fauna and flora resources under sustainable practices by local populations, in addition to reducing the effects of climate change. Therefore, the trend of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in the Angostura Faical Regional Conservation Area was determined and the areas were quantified based on their trend over time. Geographic information systems, remote sensing and platforms such as Google Earth Engine made it possible to obtain data from Landsat 5-7-8 satellite images, and the R programming language was also used in the RStudio integrated development environment for statistical analysis with the Mann Kendall test which is qualitative in nature. It was found that in the time series the neutral trend predominates with a normal behavior in an area of 7,304,568 hectares, in a favorable case in the vegetation, 1,489,457 hectares were found with a positive trend and with a negative trend in the vegetation one surface of 0, 458 hectares located near the La Angostura creek where runoff is captured in rainy weather. It should be considered that the monitoring of the environment is of vital importance for the conservation of natural areas and of the utmost importance for those that provide an environmental service. For this reason, the behavior of our protected areas must be known in order to make decisions with foundations and taking hold of technology.

Bursera graveolens ((Kunth) Triana & Planch, 1872) is an important component of traditional Peruvian medicine and is known for its repellent properties against mosquitoes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ovicidal-larvicidal, larvicidal, and repellent properties of the essential oil of B. graveolens on Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), called dengue mosquito, mummy mosquito or yellow fever mosquito. The concentrations to evaluate the ovicidal-larvicidal effect were 0.01%; 0.02%; 0.03% and 0.04%, for the larvicidal effect 0.01%; 0.02%; 0.03%; 0.04%; and 0.05% and for repellency against adults the concentrations of 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The tests were carried out with colony populations of A. aegypti developed in the Entomological Research Laboratory of the National University of Tumbes. Under laboratory conditions, the essential oil of B. graveolens shows ovicidal-larvicidal activity of 100% at a concentration of 0.04%, larvicidal activity of 100% at 0.05% and in the case of adult repellency at 30 minutes, concentrations of 50%, 75% and 100%. In conclusion, the essential oil of the species under study could be useful for the control of populations of A. aegypti and other mosquitoes, as an environmentally friendly alternative.

Bioindicators are organisms that determine the environmental impact of an ecosystem and euglossine are used for responding to environmental changes, they are easy to observe, and their taxonomy is well known. The study's objective was to evaluate a forest's environmental quality through orchid bees as bioindicators. In this investigation, collections were made at the undergrowth level by means of "Bottle Traps" and manual pools by zigzag method, in which entomological networks were used; the bees will be attracted by chemical attractants such as eucalyptus oil, the essence of eugenol and vanilla essence. We obtained a relatively high abundance with capture of 1024 individuals, and a richness of 38 species, the genus that dominated the study was the genus Euglossa with 89.5%, followed by the genus Eulaema with 9.6% and the genus Eufriesea with just 0.8 %, for the genus Exaerete that it is not possible to capture individuals, The completeness curve for the general sampling carried out allows us to observe representativeness of 99%. In conclusion, despite anthropic actions, the environmental quality in Cerro Llorón is quite stable because we found a very high abundance and species richness.

Introducción: La incidencia de candidemia se ha incrementado significativamente en la última década; por consiguiente, conocer las especies aisladas facilita la elección del mejor tratamiento.Objetivos: Caracterizar las infecciones sistémicas por Candida spp. aisladas en hemocultivos de pacientes en edad pediátrica.Métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, que tuvo como muestra de estudio 14 aislamientos de Candida, provenientes de hemocultivos de pacientes en edad pediátrica, durante el período enero-diciembre de 2015, en el Hospital pediátricoprovincial de Holguín. Se analizaron edad, sexo, antecedentes patológicos personales, factores de riesgo, servicio de procedencia, identificación de especies y susceptibilidad antifúngica.Resultados: Ocho casos fueron del sexo masculino (57,14 %) y 11 pacientes fueron menores de 1 año (78,57 %). Como antecedente patológico personal predominó la mal rotación intestinal con 4 (28,57 %) pacientes. Los factores de riesgo que predominaron fueron: el uso de antibióticos, ingresos anteriores y las intervenciones quirúrgicas (100,00 %); ladistribución por servicios fue: Neonatología (71,42 %), Quemados y UCI (14,28 %); predominó Candida parapsilosis con 8 (57,14 %) aislamientos; un aislamiento de Candida tropicalis, fue resistente al FLC, ITC y al VRC, uno de Wickerhamomycesanomalus fue resistente a la AMB. Todas las cepas fueron sensibles a la 5FC.Conclusiones: El trabajo refleja la distribución según sexo, edad y los factores de riesgo relacionados. La identificación de las especies de Candida contribuye a optimizar el tratamiento. Recomendamos incrementar la vigilancia microbiológicaen aquellos pacientes con riesgo de desarrollar candidemia, agregar al esquema de trabajo el sistema comercial API AUX 20 y las pruebas de susceptibilidad antifúngica con el propósito de mejorar significativamente la respuesta terapéutica.
Hernád menti kunhalmok mohaflorisztikai vizsgálatának eredményei
Authors: Szűcs Péter
Published: October 2022

Jelen közlemény a Hernád menti kurgánok mohaflorisztikai vizsgálatának eredménye­it ismerteti. Összesen 41 taxon (1 májmoha és 40 lombosmoha) azonosítása történt meg a vizsgált kilenc kunhalomról. Előfordulásuk száma alapján a Brachythecium rutabulum, a Tortulaacaulon var.acaulon és a Barbula unguiculata bizonyultak a leggyakoribb mohafajoknak. További érdekes taxonok a sírhalmokról: Acaulon muticum, Acaulon triquetrum, Pterygoneurum subsessile, Riccia ciliata, Tortula caucasica, Trichostomum brachydontium és Trichostomum crispulum. A kunhalmok térbeli nagysága és a mohafajok száma között nem áll fenn egyértelmű korreláció. A hazánkban zajlott újabb mohaflorisz­tikai vizsgálatokkal (pl. Budai arborétum, Balaton település) összevetve megállapítható, hogy a kur­gánokon az egyéves vándorló életstratégiájú mohafajok aránya viszonylag magas a más stratégiájú taxonokhoz képest, ebből adódóan a kunhalmok potenciális refúgium élőhelyek lehetnek egyes efemer megjelenésű mohák számára.

Authors: KAYMAKÇI Gizem Nur
Published: October 2022

Çağdaş Türk resminin önemli kadın sanatçılarından olan Oya Katoğlu, sanat kariyeri boyunca resimlerinde farklı teknikler kullanarak birçok konuyu ele almış, çok yönlü bir sanatçıdır. Katoğlu’nun çalıştığı temalardan biri olan kadın teması, sanatçının sıklıkla kullandığı bir konudur. Bu kapsamda araştırmada Oya Katoğlu’nun kadın temasını işlediği resim ve kitap kapak kompozisyonları ele alınmıştır. Çalışmada, sanatçının diğer konuları kadar önemli bir yer tutan kadın temasını gün ışığına çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Konu hakkında yazılmış akademik bir çalışmanın olmaması araştırmayı önemli kılar. Katoğlu ilk resimlerinde Anadolu kadınlarının hayatına yönelirken, geç dönem çalışmalarında ise kadın figürlerini dışavurumcu bir yaklaşımla resmetmiştir. Tuvallerinde bu temayı istikrarlı olarak görselleştiren sanatçının çalışmaları, kadın konulu yazın dünyasının kitaplarını süslemiştir. Oya Katoğlu, kadın sanatçıların yer aldığı dünya çapında düzenlenen yarışmalara katılarak dereceler elde etmiştir. Katoğlu naif bir ressam olmasına rağmen konularında toplumsal ve eleştirel çalışmalara yer vermesi yönüyle diğer Türk naiflerini etkilemiştir.

Published: October 2022

The Covid‐19 pandemic has catalyzed irreversible structural changes in education systems worldwide. One key development is the broad utility of remote digital e‐learning modalities for learning and instruction that could jeopardize social inclusion if digital in(ex)clusion is left unaddressed. This study assembles a two‐step mixed method research design and conducts a case inquiry of Shaanxi Province in China by leveraging policy document analysis and rapid survey methodology in examining how transitions to remote digital e‐learning may introduce learning barriers to children from vulnerable backgrounds. Findings reveal that children’s access to remote digital e‐learning devices during the rapid transition to e‐learning has a close association with their backgrounds. Key policy implications include utilizing multimodal hybrid technology in diversifying content delivery and maximizing e‐learning coverage, developing open learning platforms, expanding access to e‐learning resources, and collaborating with industry partners to bring tangible support to families and realize meaningful e‐learning at home.
Exploring Children’s Views and Experiences in the Frontline of Poverty in Catalonia: A Qualitative and Participatory Approach
Authors: Narciso Laia , Carrasco Silvia , Poblet Gabriela
Published: October 2022

One in three children and adolescents is currently living in poverty in Catalonia. Most specialised research has been concerned with assessing and questioning current legal frameworks and policies to combat child poverty mainly through quantitative approaches. However, these approaches neglect the specific experiences, perspectives, and visions of children and their potential to provide important clues for the design and evaluation of policies to eradicate poverty. It is also uncommon to include the experiences and views of social intervention staff who often work in situations of extreme budgetary reductions with remedial—not transformative—models. The article presents some findings from a qualitative study commissioned by UNICEF to explore this double experience from the point of view of its protagonists on the front line, drawing on fieldwork carried out before the Covid‐19 pandemic that aggravated the living conditions of the most vulnerable sectors of society. The results show a shared perception of the impact of material deprivation in all spheres of life, but also diversity in coping perspectives and understanding of the structural factors that cause inequality and poverty, as well as the possible responses to overcome them. They also reveal the need to further explore child poverty as a gendered experience.
