Sobre la hipótesis de la Tierra rara como solución a la paradoja de Fermi: Desde la humildad copernicana hasta la gratitud ante Gaia y el asombro activo
Authors: Pérez-Lora Oscar Javier , Bula Germán
Published: September 2022

La humildad copernicana establece que el Universo es un lugar homogéneo en el que las leyes aplican indistintamente en cualquier lugar, es decir, no existe un centro o lugar privilegiado. En ese sentido el lugar que ocupa la Tierra en el Universo es como cualquier otro, nada especial y mucho menos relacionado al favor de un Dios omnipotente cuya creación favorita sea el ser humano. Siendo esto así, sería entonces factible pensar la existencia de muchos otros planetas que como la Tierra alberguen vida y sustenten civilizaciones tan o más avanzadas como la nuestra. Sin embargo, ¿por qué aún no hemos contactado con otras civilizaciones? Esto último se conoce como la paradoja de Fermi. ¿Por qué si la Tierra es solo un punto más en el Universo parece que no hay otras Tierras y otros seres inteligentes con quienes contactar? Una posible solución que intentamos discutir en el presente texto es la Hipótesis de la Tierra Rara, según la cual, en efecto, el planeta Tierra es una cosa extraordinaria en el universo. Más allá de discutir la plausibilidad de esta hipótesis frente a otras, interesa puntualizar algunos corolarios que se siguen de la misma, y su implicación para el copernicanismo desde un punto de vista filosófico.

Published: September 2022

The incoming transformation of urban built-up areas, surroundings morphology, and local climate due to global warming connected to the necessity of renewable energy use maximization is the fundamental to the main aim of the present research. Indeed, urban policies can benefit from the accurate monitoring of microclimate variables in order to ensure fine living standards in cities, while improving the energy performance of the built environment. In this view, a systemic experimental approach was implemented. A monitoring campaign using dynamic experimental measurements under real conditions was carried out at an inter-urban scale taking into account different building-plant systems forms and urban configuration. In detail, two innovative portable monitoring systems were used for monitoring key multi-domain parameters at hyperlocal, urban, and intra-urban scale. The monitoring campaign was carried out in summer and winter in the city center of Florence, Italy. Research findings highlighted that urban microclimate control can be a potential factor for urban heat island (UHI) mitigation and sustainable green energy solutions, which involve social, economic, and energy policy beyond environment. The analysis of real microclimate conditions may support the green energy urban policy development in terms of renewable energy integration and urban areas design and management.

The main economic potential in the village should have a positive impact on the welfare of village community. Through BUMDES, it is hoped that villages can increase income, expand job opportunities and increase family economic resilience. The process of transforming the village economy takes a long time. One of them is through the realization of the village's superior economic potential development planning. This action research emphasizes on exploring the potential of three villages in Indonesia to be transformed into tourist villages. Pagerwangi, Cibiru Wetan, and Cipamekar are considered developed and independent where village-owned enterprises (BUMDES, Badan Usaha Milik Desa) have contributed to the community. The data collection method was done by primary survey as conducting partisipatory Business Model Canvas (BMC) workshops to identify the village's economic potential (tourism sector) and exploring through semi-structured interviews to some of villages stakeholder. These data were analysed using qualitative-descriptive analysis. We found that each village has agreed to transform into a tourist village. By employing business model canvas workshop, each village had been guided on their respective models so that the community-based Tourism model for each village can provide a large multiplier effect on the economy due to backward and forward linkages.

Published: September 2022

This study aims to analyse the model of disaster communication carried out by the government, especially the Karangasem Regency Public Relations, toward the communities impacted by the eruption of Mount Agung to lessen the risk of disaster. This research applied qualitative descriptive research with a case study method. The case study method specifically looked at the context of disaster communication in the Mount Agung eruption disaster in Bali in 2017. To obtain in-depth data, a focus group discussion and in-depth interviews were carried out as data collection techniques and the data analysis technique used the Miles and Huberman model. The results revealed that the government’s communication model of Mount Agung disaster management worked together with the community through PASEBAYA. The synergy communication model had effectively handled the Mount Agung eruption disaster, considering that disaster management should involve communication, information, coordination, and cooperation. The communication synergy model was carried out by delivering messages in disaster communication from the government to the community to quickly and accurately reach disaster victims and information related to the appeal to use traditional and technology media to evacuate in safe areas, with evacuation locations and order to bring only essential items when evacuated.
The Influence of Trees and Water Features on Human Health and Thermal Comfort in Hot Arid Climate at The Microclimate Level
Authors: Alhazzaa Kifah
Published: September 2022

The primary objective of the study is to determine if plants and water can lower particulate matter (PM) and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in microclimates while simultaneously enhancing user thermal comfort. There are several implications of urban air pollution on human health, ranging from eye discomfort to fatality. The previous studies investigated the human thermal comfort in term of temperature and humidity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate thermal comfort and air pollution in two microclimates of a Tucson, Arizona college building. The trees and water features have increased the relative humidity by 110 percent over baseline levels. Consequently, the temperature fell by 19%. This significant microclimate improvement will put the majority of outdoor areas inside the thermal comfort zone for humans. The trees and water had a considerable influence on PM levels, decreasing PM2.5 by 50 percent and PM10 by 55 percent. In this research, however, the C3 type Calvin cycle caused a 4.8% increase in CO2. The trees may lower CO2 in other senior with a higher CO2 content, hence decreasing the possibility that the C3 cycle will be initiated. The ability to minimize air pollutants while simultaneously enhancing temperature conditions would result in a microclimate that is conducive to a variety of activities.
The Influence of Exchange Rate and Foreign Capital on the Performance of Inflation Targeting Framework in Indonesia
Authors: Rakhmat  , Warjiyo Perry , Sadli Andi Muhammad
Published: September 2022

This study provides empirical evidence on the problem of the trilemma of monetary policy in an open economy, in the context of the effect of exchange rates and foreign capital flows on the performance of the ITF in Indonesia. The method used as an empirical estimate is the Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model. This model allows to include restrictions in the empirical estimation of parameters that measure the contemporaneous effect of one variable on another variable according to the structure of the macroeconomic model. Meanwhile, the lagged effects are estimated according to the VAR model. Therefore, the SVAR model is considered more appropriate than the ordinary VAR model because it can measure both the instantaneous effect and the intertemporal effect of the problem under study. The SVAR model uses restrictions that are consistent with the theoretical model in its estimation, regardless of the time-to-time effect of one variable on another. There are 9 variables in the SVAR model, namely: global risk, oil prices, federal funds rate, economic growth, inflation, interest rates, monetary policy, credit interest rates, foreign portfolio investment flows, and the rupiah exchange rate. All data used were obtained from several sources, including: Bank Indonesia, Central Statistics Agency, and IMF. Based on the estimation results, the exchange rate and foreign capital flows have a significant effect on inflation and economic growth, thus affecting the performance of the ITF in Indonesia. In particular, there is a relative influence between external factors, particularly global commodity prices, US monetary policy interest rates, and global risks, and domestic factors, particularly economic growth, monetary policy interest rates, and bank interest or credit rates. This study also concludes that in addition to inflation and economic growth considerations, Bank Indonesia also considers exchange rate movements in determining its interest rate policy response.

Authors: Nguyen Van Thi Hong
Published: September 2022

The stock exchanges increasingly have strict regulations on information disclosure of listed companies. Disclosure of information helps meet the necessary conditions prescribed by the floor, but information disclosure also brings higher value to companies. Therefore, this study analyzes the factors affecting the disclosure of enterprise segment reporting information in Vietnam. Data was collected with 48 companies listed on HOSE and HNX (two stock exchanges in Vietnam) from 2015 to 2019. Through the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model, it has been shown that the factors of audit units, business lines, and exchanges positively impact the level of disclosure of segment financial statements. The factor of profit ROA has a negative impact on the level of information disclosure of enterprises. From the results of this study, the authors also offer some research implications to help investors and companies make their decisions positively.

This article discusses the possibility of improving the quality of analysis of MRI images of the brain in various scanning modes by using greedy feature selection algorithms. A total of five MRI sequences were reviewed. The texture features were formed using the MaZda software package. Using an algorithm for recursive feature selection, the accuracy of determining the type of tumor can be increased from 69% to 100%. With the help of the combined algorithm for the selection of signs, it was possible to increase the accuracy of determining the need for treatment of a patient from 60% to 75% and from 81% to 88% in the case of using an additional class of data for patients whose accurate result of treatment is unknown. The use of textural features in combination with a feature that is responsible for the type of meningioma made it possible to unambiguously determine the need for patient treatment.

Published: September 2022

Interatrial communication is a common congenital heart disease in adulthood. It is subdivided into four distinct groups based on location.
Coronary sinus type is the rarest one and represents less than 1% of interatrial septal defects. Its echocardiographic diagnosis can be difficult.
We report the case of a 27-year-old female patient, admitted to the emergency department for management of a poorly tolerated supraventricular tachycardia, referred to cardiology after cardioversion.
Clinical examination revealed a SaO2 of 95%, a B2 burst at the pulmonary site. The ECG in sinus rhythm showed right bundle branch block and right atrial hypertrophy.
Echocardiography showed dilated right chambers, coronary sinus atrial septal defect with a left-to-right shunt, dysplastic mitral valve, and pulmonary pression was estimated at 85mmhg on tricuspid insufficiency flow; right ventricular function was normal.
The patient was treated with B-blocker and VKA with a good clinical course.
She is waiting a right catheterization to decide on surgical closure of the atrial septal defect.
Through this case, we wanted to underline the importance of not omitting the echocardiographic search for a defect of the roof of the interatrial septum in front of a volumetric overload of the right cavities.

Published: September 2022

Paragangliomas of the urinary bladder are rare tumors and can mimic urothelial carcinomas due to some features and can be misdiagnosed. A 71-year-old female was seen for hematuria and there was a solid lesion that measured 3 cm on the urinary bladder at cystoscopy. Treatment approaches for paraganglioma and urothelial carcinoma are very different from each other; therefore differential diagnoses should be made carefully. Although immunohistochemical studies are helpful in differential diagnosis, they may cause misdiagnosis in some cases. In this article, we will discuss the clinical, histomorphological, and immunohistochemical differences between paraganglioma and urothelial carcinomas under their differential diagnosis.

Authors: Ion-Muşat Dana Ioana , Tupan Andreea
Published: September 2022

In the current game of tennis, it is very important for competitive players to possess a high level of perceptual, cognitive, and motor skills. To reach this level, many sciences have contributed to the substantiation of the training process: physiology, psychology, biochemistry, etc. In recent years, specialists have been concerned with identifying and determining new factors that facilitate the learning of technical elements and tactical actions used in tennis. Contemporary tennis, through its specificity, requires coaches to understand and have the ability to implement different forms of practice that will increase the efficiency of the tennis learning process. The present paper makes an analysis of specialized perceptions that underlie the tennis learning process and guide the optimization of the training process at the beginner level. Associations that lead to functional results are distinctive marks of sports performance in tennis. Thus, understanding how tasks, the environment, and the body interact to influence the formation of these synergies is essential. Depending on the results achieved, we will be able to determine the importance of developing coordination abilities (spatiotemporal orientation ability, the ability to combine and connect movements, balance ability, kinaesthetic differentiation ability, motor reaction ability, movement transformation ability, rhythmic ability) in order to optimize the game of tennis for children aged 8-10 years.
Aspects Related to the Training of Athletes with Disabilities for Participation in Sports Competitions
Authors: Balan Valeria , Mujea Ana Maria
Published: September 2022

Sports competitions for athletes in general and athletes with disabilities, in particular, can contribute to gaining social values on a personal level. However, participation in sports competitions requires the initial training of athletes, which will also condition their play throughout these competitions. A distinct feature of sports competitions for people with intellectual disabilities is the existence of the division test, which allows the distribution of athletes into value groups according to their abilities. For bocce, the division test includes a modified game during which athletes throw the 8 balls three times to the pallina placed at three different distances (9.15 m, 12.20 m, and 15.25 m) on the playing area. Research participants are 20 people (9 female and 11 male) with intellectual disabilities. In the current research, three tests were applied: an initial test, an intermediate test, and a final test. The research methods used, namely the documentation method, the experiment method, the mathematical and statistical method, and the graphical method, highlight the values achieved by athletes for the three aforementioned distances. The scores obtained in the three tests indicate a two-way oscillation of players’ results from one test to another, which is normal for this category of athletes. But the three tests of the game are extremely useful and must be practiced during training lessons. The results obtained in these tests are indicative for their subsequent play during the competition and allow to compare an athlete with other people having the same disability and almost similar motor levels.

Published: September 2022

During the pandemic, the traditional education system shifted to online teaching and learning. In the time that has passed since the beginning of the pandemic, important changes were recorded in the way that education is thought and delivered, at any level of education. Starting with March 2020, when schools were physically closed, online learning became the only way to continue the educational process, although teachers, parents, students, institutions, and officials from the educational system, as well as decision-makers, were not prepared for such a big change. With advantages and limitations, this substitute for traditional education represented a major challenge and opened up multiple opportunities for transforming education, rethinking pedagogical paradigms in line with changes in education-related fields, and transforming the school ethos into a space for inclusion, promoting values, for access to quality education. This research aims to analyze the perceptions of master students as regard online teaching in two East-European countries: Lithuania and Romania. The focus is on the suitability of online teaching, feedback, and support. The provided feedback illustrates that the online teaching/learning process is strongly influenced by a series of variables related to the teachers’ competencies, their ability to introduce proper didactic methods and adapt the content, their capacity to motivate students, to raise the students’ attention, and to stimulate the students’ involvement. More, providing real support, offering fast feedback, and strongly mediating teacher-student communication represent important issues for creating a successful format for online education.

Aim: The aim of the study is to classify patients infected with Covid-19 in our population according to the radiological consensus defined by Radiology Society of North America (RSNA) and American College of Radiology (ACR) and to show the relationship of the patients with clinical-laboratory findings.

Material and Methods: 127 cases (74 males, 53 females; age range 19-92 years) who applied to Ankara City Hospital with symptoms such as fever, cough and respiratory distress and whose laboratory findings were compatible with Covid-19 were included in our study. The thorax computed tomography (CT) findings of the cases were classified according to the RSNA criteria and their relationship with clinical-laboratory data was statistically evaluated.

Results: 47.2% of them had fever, 62.2% cough, 22 dyspnea, 4.7% diarrhea and 28.3% fatigue-malaise symptoms. When the thorax CT findings were evaluated, 55% of the patients had a typical appearance, 21% intermediate appearance, 11% atypical appearance and 13% negative appearance.

Conclusion: It is obvious that thoracic CT examination has many advantages in evaluating Covid-19 pneumonia. However, it was concluded that more observations should be made in order to classify the findings better and to reveal their relationship with clinical-laboratory findings.

They shall lay down the entire procedure for carrying out this process. With the introduction of the new Law on the Development of Academic Staff in the Republic of Bulgaria and the Regulation for its implementation, criteria for registration in a national portal with certain criteria were introduced. With these actions the Bulgarian Ministry of Education wants to unify the minimum requirements for holding academic positions and obtaining scientific degrees. At the next stage, the policy in this respect involves greater funding of the scientific work relevant to the attestation of academic staff.
This study aims to establish the prerequisites for changing the attestation system, the possibilities for its linking with the financing of scientific research activities, as well as the perspectives for career growth
Community Forest Management: a socially innovative solution to address forest conservation? The case of Calleria Native Community (Ucayali, Peru)
Authors: Calero Valdez Diego
Published: September 2022

Given the increasing speed of deforestation in the Amazonia and the problems faced by local communities and indigenous people who depend on forestry resources, the need for sustainable and collaborative forest management is evident. This essay evaluates the extent to which community-based conservation strategies could be framed into the social innovation approach, based on the experience of Community Forest Management in Callería Native Community (Ucayali, Peru). To address this purpose, different academic sources on Community Forest Management experiences within and outside the Amazon region and the case study itself were consulted, as well as other sources referring to the concepts of conservation, socio-ecological systems, governance of the commons and social innovation. The conclusion of this essay is that Community Forest Management could be largely framed as a solution within a social innovation approach, because it has enabled the Callería Native Community to achieve the three dimensions of social innovation: meet their human needs, develop new relationships and organizational structures, and increase their socio-political capacity. However, not all community conservation strategies are the same, as they are context specific.

La fibrillation auriculaire (FA) est la première cause des infarctus cérébraux cardio-emboliques. Cette étude a pour objet d'identifier les facteurs prédictifs des FA à l'origine des accidents vasculaires ischémiques cardio-emboliques auprès du service de Neurologie de Befelatanana. Il s’agit d’une étude rétrospective, descriptive, transversale à visée analytique sur 24 mois, allant du 01 janvier 2018 jusqu’au 31 décembre 2019. Nous avons retenu 93 patients avec une recherche de FA au cours de l’hospitalisation. L’âge en moyen est de 64 ans ± 14,1 ans avec un sex-ratio à 1,325. Les principaux facteurs de risque cardiovasculaire identifiés étaient l’hypertension artérielle (77,41%) ; le tabagisme (36,55 %) ; l’antécédent d’AVC (29,03%) ; l’antécédent d’une insuffisance cardiaque et/ou de cardiopathies (19,35%), le diabète sucré (10,75%). L’âge supérieur à 65 ans (p=0.048 ; OR 1.919 (1.012-3.639)) et l’antécédent d’une HTA (p=0.034 ; OR à 2.831 (0.964-8.310)) sont les facteurs prédictifs cliniques identifiés dans la survenue d’une FA. Les anomalies à l’échodoppler cardiaque les plus retrouvées étaient l’altération de la FEVG (26,88%) ; la dilatation de l’oreillette gauche (5,37%) ; le thrombus intracardiaque (4,3%). Aucun de ces paramètres n’était pas associé à la survenue de FA dans notre étude. Cette étude confirme la nécessité de rechercher systématiquement la FA chez les sujets âgés et les patients hypertendus afin de débuter un traitement adéquat pour une meilleure prévention primaire et secondaire des infarctus cérébraux.

Authors: S Razi
Published: September 2022

As per World Health Organization, Leishmaniasis is a neglected, tropical disease. It is initiated by intracellular transmission of a parasite to humans, by sand fly bite. Factors like population variability, climate change etc. lead to the expansion of this disease. This article provides review of epidemiology and management of leishmaniasis i.e., cutaneous, mucosal, and visceral. Literature was studied by systematic exploration in PubMed including various articles from 2012-2022 without setting any exclusion criteria. There have been reports of development of strains, resistant to traditional therapy of leishmaniasi, along with simultaneous infections like HIV/Leishmania spp., and other targeted pharmaceutical resources i.e., amphotericin B and formulations, miltefosine, pentavalent antimonials. Since long, only few drugs are available for the management of the disease, having adverse effects and toxicity due to which the treatment control program is put in check globally. New strategies are required to manage this neglected disease adequately.
