Returns-to-education gaps between native and migrant workers: the infl uence of economic integration on their drivers. Are Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) an eff ective remediation tool? A case comparison: Italy, Germany, Denmark and Cyprus
Authors: Coca Gamito Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2022

This paper answers the research question of whether economicintegration influences the drivers behind returns to education for native, EU and non-EU workers in the selected countries. It fills two gaps in the literature, assessing the role of economic integration in determining differences in returns on investments in education and testing whether ALMPs can bridge them. The literature has identified that returns to education vary between national and foreign workers. Differences among nationality groups regarding the quality of their educational background, their knowledge of the hosting labor market, or the mismatch between the qualifications and skills acquired abroad and those demanded by the local economy have been put forward to explain the gaps in returns to education. This paper contends that those factors might be economic reasons behind the differences in the returns to education but that their effect is mediated by the different degrees of economic integration between the host country and workers’ home country.
Contested volumetric space: fl oor area uplift policy in Jakarta
Authors: Herlambang Suryono , Astuti Wahyu , Suryadjaja Regina
Published: May 2022

This paper illustrates how the extraction of land value into volumetric spaces (subterranean spaces, elevated infrastructures and high-rise buildings) is rendered possible through accumulation strategies embedded in spatial planning in Jakarta. In doing so, it carefully delves into the shift in Floor-Area Uplift (FAU) compensation policy and its relationship with the expansion of mass transportation system development. We analysed urban planning and high-rise building policy documents from 1975–2017 and modelled the allowable FAU based on those policies. We illustrate, first, the transformation of FAU discourse in urban policies and how its operability is facilitated in discretionary planning regimes. This paper then demonstrates the planning gain delivery and consequences produced through FAU compensation policy. We argued how volumetric urbanism in Jakarta had been produced and sustained through entrepreneurial motives. It continues to segregate the city both in local and urban contexts despite its positivist development goals.

Published: May 2022

El clima del estado de Baja California Sur, México, marca unas condiciones de tiempo meteorológico particularizado. Desde el asoleamiento hasta la disposición de las ciudades costeras mantienen una relación con la zona litoral y sus expresiones, principalmente respecto a viento y humedad. El estudio del confort adaptativo permite para estas ciudades comprender áreas de estudio para climas extremos, en donde las condiciones hostiles terminan marcando variaciones al confort colectivo. Mientras que, el estudio de las condiciones urbanas permite definir algunas pautas de diseño y arquitectura. El análisis de la física de los vientos, la selección adecuada de vegetación, su disposición, así como la consideración de la materialidad de las superficies permite entender la relación entre el ecosistema de costa y su aprovechamiento para las condiciones del hábitat urbano. Las conclusiones obtenidas están encaminadas a establecer algunos nuevos cuestionamientos tanto para la propia península como para ciudades con una condición climática similar.

La Biblioteca Humana als Països Baixos : un exitós intercanvi d'històries
Authors: Dool Anne van den
Published: May 2022

El concepte originàriament danès de la Biblioteca Humana es coneix als Països Baixos des de fa uns sis anys. Fins i tot durant la crisi del coronavirus, els organitzadors van aconseguir arribar a més de 700 persones en més de 20 sessions. L'alta qualificació mitjana donada pels participants està en consonància amb els resultats positius dels estudis previs sobre l'impacte de la Biblioteca Humana. Es pot fer una distinció entre els efectes a curt i llarg termini, els efectes en els participants voluntaris davant dels que participen en una edició de la Biblioteca Humana en un context obligatori, com una situació laboral, i els efectes aconseguits en termes de conscienciació, canvi d'actitud i canvi de comportament. En gairebé totes aquestes àrees, la Biblioteca Humana obté una puntuació alta. En el futur, es pot investigar més sobre la distinció entre aquestes diferents situacions, i també sobre l'efecte en els 'llibres' en lloc dels 'lectors', en els quals gairebé tota la investigació se centra ara.

Published: May 2022

One-step precipitation of CsPbBr3 QDs in silicate glass was successfully achieved by picosecond laser pulses. Enabled by spatially selective modification, luminescent QDs are well protected by the inorganic glass matrix. The combination of high-power and high-speed scanning system provides a convenient and flexible route for large-scale in situ fabrication of CsPbBr3 QDs. The dependence of photoluminescence (PL) intensity and absorption band was systematically investigated, and the formation mechanism was briefly discussed. Notable stabilities of CsPbBr3 QDs against moisture, high temperature as well as ultraviolet (UV) radiation were verified by water-proof and thermal/UV-dependent PL tests. Prospective use for light-emitting device and anti-counterfeiting were also demonstrated.

Background

Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. In Ethiopia, 5.8% of deaths are attributed to cancer. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the cancers preventive practice and associated factors in North West Ethiopia, 2019.

Methods

A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among Bahir Dar city residents. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 845 study participants. Data were collected through a validated interviewer administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was adapted from the American cancer association cancer prevention toolkit. Descriptive statistics were computed and presented in charts and texts. The model fitness was checked using Hosmer and Lemeshow goodness of fit (P > 0.05). Bivariable and multivariable logistic regressions were used to identify factors associated with cancer preventive practice. A p-value < 0.2 at bivariate analysis was candidate variables for multivariable logistic regression analysis. Finally, p-value of < 0.05 was considered as a statistically significant predictor for cancer preventive practice at the 95% confidence interval.

Result

A total of 845 study participants took part in the study. Nearly 63% of the respondents were females. About 28% (95%CI: 24, 30) of the study participants had good preventive practice. Age ≥ 45 years (AOR = 0.31; 95%CI: 0.15, 0.62), female (AOR = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.35, 0.71) family member with cancer (AOR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.07, 2.62) and had good knowledge (AOR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.14, 2.42) were the identified determinants of cancer preventive practices.

Conclusion

This study revealed that the level of cancer preventive practices was low. Family member with cancer, knowledge about cancer, older age, and being female were significantly associated with cancer preventive practices. This finding underscores the importance of interventions to enhance cancer preventive practices.
Texture analysis of magnetic resonance image to differentiate benign from malignant myxoid soft tissue tumors: A retrospective comparative study
Authors: Chang Hyunsik , Kang Yusuhn , Ahn Joong Mo , Lee Eugene , Lee Joon Woo , Kang Heung Sik
Published: May 2022

It is important to differentiate between benign and malignant myxoid tumors to establish the treatment plan, determine the optimal surgical extent, and plan postoperative surveillance, but differentiation may be complicated by imaging-feature overlap. Texture analysis is used for quantitative assessment of imaging characteristics based on mathematically calculated pixel heterogeneity and has been applied to the discrimination of benign from malignant soft tissue tumors (STTs). In this study, we aimed to assess the diagnostic value of the texture features of conventional magnetic resonance images for the differentiation of benign from malignant myxoid STTs. Magnetic resonance images of 39 patients with histologically confirmed myxoid STTs of the extremities were analyzed. Qualitative features were assessed and compared between the benign and malignant groups. Texture analysis was performed, and texture features were selected based on univariate analysis and Fisher’s coefficient. The diagnostic value of the texture features was assessed using receiver operating curve analysis. T1 heterogeneity showed a statistically significant difference between benign and malignant myxoid STTs, with substantial inter-reader reliability. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of T1 heterogeneity were 55.6%, 83.3%, 88.2%, 45.5%, and 64.1%, respectively. Among the texture features, T2w-WavEnLL_s-3 showed good diagnostic performance, and T2w-WavEnLL_s-4 and GeoW4 showed fair diagnostic performance. The logistic regression model including T1 heterogeneity and T2_WavEnLL_s-4 showed good diagnostic performance. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the overall qualitative assessment by a radiologist and the predictor model. Geometry-based and wavelet-derived texture features from T2-weighted images were significantly different between benign and malignant myxoid STTs. However, the texture features had a limited additive value in differentiating benign from malignant myxoid STTs.

Published: May 2022

Aim

To study the association between the socioeconomic environment of area of residence and prevalence and characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Method

Data on 8-year-old children with CP born in 2000–2011 (n = 252) were extracted from a regional population-based register in France. The European Deprivation Index (EDI), available at census block level, characterised socioeconomic deprivation in the child’s area of residence at age of registration. The prevalence of CP was estimated in each group of census units defined by EDI distribution tertiles in the general population. The association between deprivation level and CP severity was assessed according to term/preterm status.

Results

CP prevalence differed between deprivation risk groups showing a J-shaped form with the prevalence in the most deprived tertile (T3) being the highest but not significantly different of the prevalence in the least deprived one (T1). However, the prevalence in the medium deprivation tertile (T2) was significantly lower than that in the most deprived one with a prevalence risk ratio (PRR) of: PRRT2/T3 = 0.63 95% CI [0.44–0.89]). Prevalences of CP with associated intellectual disability (ID) and CP with inability to walk were significantly higher in the most deprived tertile compared to the least deprived one (respectively PRRT3/T1 = 1.86 95% CI [1.19–2.92] and PRRT3/T1 = 1.90 95% CI [1.07–3.37]). Compared to children living in the least deprived areas, children with CP born preterm living in the most deprived areas had more severe forms of motor impairment, such as an inability to walk or a combination of an inability to walk and moderate to severe impairment of bimanual function. They also had more associated intellectual disability. No associations were observed among term-born children.

Interpretation

A significant association between area deprivation group and CP severity was observed among preterm children but not among term-born children.
The importance of physical performance in the assessment of patients on haemodialysis: A survival analysis
Authors: Vanden Wyngaert Karsten , Van Biesen Wim , Eloot Sunny , Van Craenenbroeck Amaryllis H. , Calders Patrick , Holvoet Els
Published: May 2022

Background

Physical performance is an important determinant of quality of life in patients on haemodialysis. An association between physical performance and survival could further enhance the importance of physical performance. We aimed to assess the association between different measures of physical performance and survival in dialysis patients.

Methods

117 patients on haemodialysis were included from December 2016 and followed up to September 2020. Muscle strength (quadriceps, handgrip strength, and sit-to-stand), exercise capacity (six-minute walking test, 6MWT) and the risk of falls (Dialysis Fall Index, Tinetti, and Frailty and Injuries: Cooperative Studies of Intervention Techniques) were measured at the time of inclusion. Hospitalisation, morbidity (Davies Stoke index) and death were recorded. Data were analysed by least squares linear regression models and competing risks survival hazard models.

Results

During the observation period (median 33, min 30 max 45 months), 45 patients died (= 38.5%), resulting in a mortality rate of 15% per year. Cardiovascular disease (42.9%) was the most common cause of death. All domains of physical performance were associated with mortality, with the highest hazards for an increased risk of falls (Hazard Ratio (HR) = 20.4, p = 0.003) and poor exercise capacity (HR = 7.4, p<0.001). A score lower than 298 meters (specificity = 0.583; sensitivity = 0.889) on the 6MWT was established as a haemodialysis-specific cut-off point for mortality risk. Each increase in 6MWT (m) corresponded with a 0.4% decrease in mortality risk (HR = 0.996, 95%CI [0.994; 0.998]). The 6MWT as also associated with comorbidity (F-value = 6.1, p = 0.015). Physical performance was not associated with hospitalisation.

Conclusions

The 6MWT is associated with mortality in patients on haemodialysis and can be considered as a valid assessment tool to identify high-risk patients.

Published: May 2022

When bovine lactoferrin (bLF) contacts human vaginal fluid (VF) it is subjected to proteolytic degradation. This report describes fragmentation patterns of bLF dosed vaginally in clinical trials or incubatedex vivowith VF. A consensus pattern of fragments was observed in samples from different women. The 80 kDa bLF molecule is initially cleaved between its homologous 40 kDa domains, the N-lobe and C-lobe, and then degraded into sub-fragments and mixtures of small peptides. We characterized this fragmentation process by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, western blotting, chromatographic separation, and mass spectral sequence analysis. Common to most VF fragmentation patterns were large amounts of an N-lobe 37 kDa fragment and a C-lobe 43 kDa fragment resulting from a single cleavage following tyrosine 324. Both fragments possessed full sets of iron-ligand amino acids and retained iron-binding ability. In some VF samples, alternative forms of large fragments were found, which like the 37+43 kDa pair, totaled 80 kDa. These included 58+22 kDa, 18+62 kDa, and 16+64 kDa forms. In general, the smaller component was from the N-lobe and the larger from the C-lobe. The 18+62 kDa pair was absent in some VF samples but highly abundant in others. This variability suggests multiple endopeptidases are involved, with the 18 kDa fragment’s presence dependent upon the balance of enzymes. Further action of VF endopeptidases produced smaller peptide fragments, and we found evidence that exopeptidases trimmed their N- and C-termini. The 3.1 kDa antimicrobial peptide lactoferricin B was not detected. These studies were facilitated by a novel technique we developed: tricolor western blots, which enabled simultaneous visualization of N- and C-terminal epitopes.

Published: May 2022

Strychnos madagascariensis is an underutilized South African fruit-bearing tree, with the pulp being the primary consumable component. However, the seeds hold the potential as a food source due to their high nutrient composition. The aim of this study was to determine the physical properties of S. madagascariensis fruit and seeds to aid in food processing equipment development. Fruit physical properties were determined at four progressive ripening stages, as well as the seed physical properties and mineral composition. The pulp contributed the most towards fruit composition across stages of ripeness (c 50%), followed by the rind (c 30%) and seeds (c 20%). Furthermore, significant variations in seed physical properties were observed at progressive maturity stages. The seeds showed significantly greater mineral compositions in unripe-green fruit in comparison to fruit at progressive ripening stages. The data provided may serve as a basis for the development of processing procedures and equipment and suggests that seeds of unripe-green fruit hold greater nutritional benefits.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant and unprecedented mental health impacts in Australia. However, there is a paucity of research directly asking Australian community members about their mental health experiences, and what they perceive to be the most important mental health issues in the context of the pandemic. This study utilises qualitative data from Alone Together, a longitudinal mixed-methods study investigating the effects of COVID-19 on mental health in an Australian community sample (N = 2,056). A total of 1,037 participants, ranging in sex (69.9% female), age (M = 40–49 years), state/territory of residence, and socioeconomic status, shared responses to two open-ended questions in the first follow up survey regarding their mental health experiences and priorities during COVID-19. Responses were analysed using thematic analysis. Participants described COVID-19 as primarily impacting their mental health through the disruption it posed to their social world and financial stability. A key concern for participants who reported having poor mental health was the existence of multiple competing barriers to accessing high quality mental health care. According to participant responses, the pandemic placed additional pressures on an already over-burdened mental health service system, leaving many without timely, appropriate support. Absent or stigmatising rhetoric around mental health, at both a political and community level, also prevented participants from seeking help. Insights gained from the present research provide opportunities for policymakers and health practitioners to draw on the expertise of Australians’ lived experience and address priority issues through targeted policy planning. This could ultimately support a more responsive, integrated, and effective mental health system, during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: May 2022

This article analyses a structured approach to facilitating Shakespeare groups in prison that interweaves a trauma-informed lens with four critical principles developed by Marin Shakespeare Company. The CREW principles are (1) Connection, (2) Reflection, (3) Expression and (4) Witnessing.
We describe the work we have been doing for sixteen years with Marin Shakespeare Company facilitating Shakespeare classes and performances in various California prisons with incarcerated men, women and trans-women. Throughout the article, a blend of theory, guiding quotes and case examples
from participants is used to demonstrate how the study and performance of Shakespeare in prison, when rooted in a trauma-informed lens and supported by the four principles mentioned above, is helpful in healing trauma and fostering social and emotional well-being amongst individuals who are
incarcerated.

Published: May 2022

Almost all countries in the world are facing the Covid-19 pandemic, which is spreading so massively. Affecting various aspects of life and causing a domino effect in many sectors including the economy. Indonesia's economy worsened in the second quarter (Q2) 2020, negative 5.32 percent and only started to recover in the second quarter of 2021, positive 7.07% thanks to investment and increased household consumption. The MSME sector plays a significant and strategic role in supporting and is predicted to be the engine of economic recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic. The positive contribution of MSMEs to GDP before the pandemic could reach almost 60%. However, now in a condition full of uncertainty, it is necessary to strengthen various ideas, innovations and collaboration of various parties so that MSMEs can get out of pressure and support economic growth. This study will look at the potential for the adoption and implementation of digital literacy skills and information literacy by involving librarians (library institutions), academics, and literacy activists supporting MSMEs in contributing to economic recovery after Covid-19. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach in order to present a detailed description of the setting and literacy skills for MSME actors. This research is general in nature (generalization) with the scope of its location in Indonesia, without mentioning specific areas. Primary sources of research are obtained from literature studies, studies of various media and journal articles which are assumed to be able to capture the general condition of society. The results show that the idea of adopting and implementing digital literacy skills and information literacy for MSME actors has an urgency to be implemented immediately as a solution to the challenges of possible innovation (behavior) changes in the habits and operations of the MSME sector after Covid-19. Accelerate the transformation of MSMEs through strengthening the digital literacy and information literacy sectors to support MSME business functions (production, promotion, and marketing) after Covid-19.
Pigmentação melânica normal da mucosa bucal, e não “racial”
Authors: Consolaro Alberto , Miranda Dario A. Oliveira , Oliveira Ingrid Araújo
Published: May 2022

O termo Pigmentação “Racial” deve ser evitado em textos ou verbalmente, apesar de ainda ser usado com frequência. Ele pode ser trocado por Pigmentação Melânica Normal da Mucosa Bucal, especialmente na gengiva e semimucosa labial, pois ela reflete apenas uma variação de cor da mucosa bucal normal em seres humanos em cujas etnias se tem a pele negra e suas variáveis, pela miscigenação natural dos povos. Por isso, a pigmentação melânica na mucosa bucal pode ser encontrada em pessoas de pele branca, antigamente chamadas de caucasianas. Não existem critérios científicos que possam classificar os humanos em raças, mas sim em etnias, pelas suas culturas diferentes, e que devem ser respeitadas umas pelas outras.

Published: May 2022

Uma das grandes queixas, e talvez a maior, desde que me formei, em 2003, era da saturação do mercado odontológico. Estamos em 2022 e a queixa ainda continua a mesma. O interessante para pensarmos juntos é que, se mais de 50% da população nunca foi ao dentista, essa conta automaticamente não fecha. Trabalhando com a ONG Por1sorriso, atendendo de graça pelo Brasil, é impressionante a falta de acesso à saúde bucal dos brasileiros. É de entristecer qualquer um que seja apaixonado por gente, e não apenas por dentes.

Published: May 2022

Introdução: A interação entre as novas técnicas e novos materiais restauradores é notória em casos de dentes tratados endodonticamente com destruição coronária, como o uso de pinos de fibra de vidro, considerado um material com boas propriedades mecânicas e estéticas. Pode, ainda, ser associado a outras técnicas restauradoras, caracterizando um tratamento multidisciplinar. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, normossistêmica, compareceu à Unifametro (Fortaleza) relatando insatisfação com a estética do sorriso. Após uma anamnese criteriosa, identificaram-se, nos dentes #12 e #21, destruições coronárias classificadas como classe IV na classificação de Black; nos dentes #11 e #21 havia restaurações com cárie secundária e cores irregulares; dente #22 com fratura em mais de 50% da sua porção coronária, com substrato escurecido e tratamento endodôntico insatisfatório. Durante o planejamento do caso, optou-se por um tratamento multidisciplinar, com adequação do meio bucal, retratamento endodôntico do dente #12 e cimentação de pino de fibra de vidro. Nos demais dentes, foram realizadas estratificações com resina composta. Conclusão: A utilização de técnicas mais simplificadas e relevantes é uma adequada opção estética e funcional para dentes com tratamentos endodônticos e com cáries severas.

Published: May 2022

Introdução: Este estudo avaliou a influência do jateamento com partículas abrasivas (JPA) na resistência adesiva por cisalhamento (σS) entre uma cerâmica à base de zircônia (Y-TZP) e uma resina composta, testando a hipótese de que diferentes parâmetros de JPA afetam significativamente a σS. Métodos: Espécimes de Y-TZP foram tratados com JPA utilizando partículas de alumina aplicadas perpendicularmente à superfície a uma distância de 10 mm, variando um dos seguintes parâmetros: tamanho de partícula (45 e 110 μm), tempo de aplicação (10 e 20 s), e pressão (36 e 58 psi). Amostras de Y-TZP não tratadas foram usadas como controle. Cilindros de resina composta foram colados na superfície, que foi inicialmente tratada com um primer cerâmico (RelyX Ceramic Primer), utilizando um cimento resinoso autoadesivo (RelyX U100). As amostras foram armazenadas em água destilada por 24 h a 37oC, e testadas para σS. Os resultados de σS foram calculados (em MPa) e analisados estatisticamente (α = 0,05). Os padrões de superfície criados pelos tratamentos com JPA foram observados em microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Resultados: Os valores de σS foram significativamente menores para o grupo controle do que todos os grupos tratados com JPA (p <0,05). Os resultados foram influenciados pelo tamanho da partícula, enquanto o tempo e a pressão não tiveram efeito significativo. O JPA usando partículas de 45 μm promoveu σS significativamente maior do que usando partículas de 110 μm com tempo de 10 s ou 36 psi de pressão (p <0,05). Não foram encontradas diferenças entre os tamanhos das partículas ao usar maior tempo (20 s) ou pressão (58 psi). Conclusão: O JPA com partículas de alumina de menor tamanho tende a produzir maiores valores de σS para uma cerâmica Y-TZP em união com resina composta, confirmando parcialmente a hipótese do estudo.

Introdução: Para facilitar o manuseio da resina composta, foram desenvolvidos umidificadores/modeladores; além disso, adesivos também têm sido usados para esse fim. Entretanto, os resultados são controversos quanto à influência desses materiais fluídos nas propriedades físicas do compósito. Objetivo: No presente estudo, foi avaliada a influência do uso de modelador de resina, adesivo puro e sistema adesivo simplificado na rugosidade e estabilidade de cor de um compósito. Métodos: Foram confeccionados quarenta espécimes (n = 10 por grupo) (8mm diâmetro x 2mm espessura) com um compósito nano-híbrido. Para o alisamento, foi realizado o umedecimento da espátula com modelador de resina, adesivo puro, adesivo simplificado ou nenhum material (limpeza com gaze). A rugosidade foi mensurada com o rugosímetro e a estabilidade de cor, pelo sistema CIE L*a*b*, usando um espectrofotômetro. Em seguida, os espécimes foram imersos em vinho tinto por três horas diárias durante 40 dias e, ao fim, as propriedades foram reavaliadas. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pela ANOVA e pelo teste de Tukey (α = 0,05). Resultados: O alisamento com adesivo puro promoveu a menor rugosidade, independentemente do período analisado; seguido pelo modelador e adesivo simplificado, enquanto o alisamento sem qualquer resina fluída promoveu a maior rugosidade. A maior estabilidade de cor foi obtida pelo alisamento com os adesivos puro e simplificado, seguidos pelo modelador; e a menor foi obtida para o grupo sem aplicação de resina fluída. Conclusão: O alisamento final da restauração com o umedecimento da espátula usando adesivo puro parece ser uma alternativa viável para promover uma superfície lisa e com menor manchamento.

Published: May 2022

La representación computacional puede ayudar a superar las rupturas que se presentan en el procesamiento de la información. El Modelo Multimedia de Expresión Escrita (MMEE) recrea la manera como se percibe y se maneja la información con propósitos argumentativos. Los procesos de escritura en la Educación Básica presentan características que se relacionan con la forma como los jóvenes procesan la información y los códigos que manejan para comunicarse entre sí. El presente artículo recoge los recorridos conceptuales y metodológicos que acompañaron la investigación desarrollada por el autor para optar al título de Magister en Tecnologías de la Información Aplicadas a la Educación de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. Entre las conclusiones de la investigación se destaca cómo el texto escrito prevalece como forma de representación del conocimiento que mejor favorecer la argumentación en estudiantes que recién ingresan a la universidad.

Temporalidad y estructura de los géneros discursivos en un programa de español para extranjeros
Authors: Fonseca Mendoza Clara Inés
Published: May 2022

A menudo la enseñanza de una lengua extranjera está orientada por algunas teorías sobre la adquisición del lenguaje que insisten en que la inmersión de los estudiantes en contextos comprensivos es suficiente para el desarrollo lingüístico. La gramática usualmente se circunscribe al nivel de la oración y es vista como “carga pesada”. Estas apreciaciones pueden limitar al profesor e impedirle explorar recursos que asociados a los diferentes géneros discursivos procuren en sus estudiantes mejores resultados. Bajo estos supuestos, el objetivo de este artículo de reflexión es comentar y ejemplificar algunos rasgos estructurales propios de los textos narrativos y expositivos, con énfasis en el tiempo y las formas verbales, para que los profesores de español como lengua extranjera consideren su inclusión en sus prácticas docentes, y así incrementar en sus estudiantes habilidades de lectura y escritura de esos tipos de texto.
Hacia la autonomía del estudiante de lenguas en el ámbito universitario a través del uso de blogs y wikis
Authors: Gonzalez Boluda Mariana
Published: May 2022

Este trabajo pretende describir el potencial de los blogs y wikis como herramientas para fomentar la autonomía en el aprendizaje en el contexto de la enseñanza universitaria. Se relata una experiencia de implementación de estos recursos en un contexto tradicional de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Como punto de partida se propone un acercamiento a la cultura de aprendizaje de un grupo de 40 estudiantes de español de Turismo en la Universidad de Tecnología de Jamaica a través de un análisis de sus creencias y actitudes más comunes sobre el proceso de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera, así como de las creencias de sus profesores con relación a las responsabilidades y habilidades de los estudiantes en el aprendizaje autónomo. Tras analizar limitaciones y resistencias iniciales en el camino hacia la autonomía en este contexto, blogs y wikis. El proceso gradual de adquisición de autonomía resultó no sólo de la interacción del estudiante con el contenido de los blogs y wikis, sino sobre todo de las interacciones con todos los participantes, a través de un intercambio espontáneo donde se diluyen los espacios temporales y se fomenta un aprendizaje significativo, colaborativo y constructivo.

Blood flow restriction (BFR) during low‐intensity exercise has been known to be a potent procedure to alter metabolic and oxygen environments in working muscles. Moreover, the use of BFR during inter‐set rest periods of repeated sprint exercise has been recently suggested to be a potent procedure for improving training adaptations. The present study was designed to determine the effect of repeated sprint exercise with post‐exercise BFR (BFR during rest periods between sprints) on muscle oxygenation in working muscles. Eleven healthy males performed two different conditions on different days: either repeated sprint exercise with BFR during rest periods between sets (BFR condition) or without BFR (CON condition). A repeated sprint exercise consisted of three sets of 3 × 6‐s maximal sprints (pedaling) with 24s rest periods between sprints and 5 min rest periods between sets. In BFR condition, two min of BFR (100–120 mmHg) for both legs was conducted between sets. During the exercise, power output and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) were evaluated. Muscle oxygenation for the vastus lateralis muscle, exercise‐induced changes in muscle blood flow, and muscle oxygen consumption were measured. During BFR between sets, BFR condition presented significantly higher deoxygenated hemoglobin + myoglobin (p < 0.01) and lower tissue saturation index (p < 0.01) than those in CON condition. However, exercise‐induced blood lactate elevation and reduction of blood pH did not differ significantly between the conditions. Furthermore, power output throughout nine sprints did not differ significantly between the two conditions. In conclusion, repeated sprint exercise with post‐exercise BFR augmented muscle deoxygenation and local hypoxia, without interfering power output.

The study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behaviors of different prosthetic materials and posterior implant angles in All-on-4 implant-supported fixed maxillary prostheses with three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. The model of complete edentulous maxilla was created using the Rhinoceros and VRMesh Studio programs. Anterior vertical and 17°- and 30°-angled posterior implants were positioned with All-on-4 design. Straigth and angled multi-unit abutments scanned using a 3D scanner. Two different prosthetic superstructures (monolithic zirconia framework and lithium disilicate veneer (ZL) and monolithic zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (ZLS)) were modeled. Four models designed according to the prosthetic structure and posterior implant angles. Posterior vertical bilateral loading and frontal oblique loading was performed. The principal stresses (bone tissues-Pmax and Pmin) and von Mises equivalent stresses (implant and prosthetic structures) were analyzed. In all models, the highest Pmax stress values were calculated under posterior bilateral loading in cortical bone. The highest von Mises stress levels occured in the posterior implants under posterior bilateral load (260.33 and 219.50 MPa) in the ZL-17 and ZL-30 models, respectively. Under both loads, higher stress levels in prosthetic structures were shown in the ZLS models compared with ZL models. There was no difference between posterior implant angles on stress distribution occurred in implant material and alveolar bone tissue. ZLS and ZL prosthetic structures can be reliably used in maxillary All-on-4 rehabilitation.

Published: May 2022

The oil and gas industry worldwide is experiencing problems of vandalism and mechanical deterioration due to corrosion in its various pipeline transport systems, a drop in the price of hydrocarbons due to the COVID-19, limitation of maintenance processes. This article provides a contribution original to the knowledge and management of a pipeline transportation system (PTS), without an immediate high impact that would help reduce property loss due to corrosion, through the development of intelligent evaluation models that combine field data, laboratory, and cognitive knowledge in a case study in Mexico. The research is divided into Part 1: modeling, a Fuzzy expert system (FES) unified the knowledge of corrosion specialists and mechanical integrity studies (MIS) and identified evolutionary corrosion patterns with reliability of 0.9029. An artificial neural network (ANN) supported by statistics and metallography establishes test reliability of 0.9556 and determines the corrosion inhibition capacity (C) of Mexican hydrocarbon mixtures based on their properties compared to carbon steel. Part 2: analysis of the operational and economic risk of the PTS under corrosive effects, using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) estimates various financial scenarios considering corrosive profiles of soils, supply, demand, and inflation.

The wrinkled-faced bat (Centurio senex) is an enigmatic species widely distributed in Mesoamerica. Besides its wide distribution it is considered rare in almost the entire range and little is known about its life history. We provide notes and discuss on the natural history of the species and performed a distribution model and an elevation profile in order to understand the distribution patterns in Northern Central America. We found thatC. senexinhabits ecosystems from lowlands to 1943 m, with higher probability of occurrence in the Pacific region and the mountains of Guatemala in which seasonal precipitation regimes predominates.
On the Concept of Real Use of Reason
Authors: Caimi Mario Pedro Miguel
Published: May 2022

The subject matter of the article is the concept of “the real use of reason” (usus realis) alluded to by Kant inCritique of Pure ReasonA299/B355 and in A305/B362. After comparing it with the “real use of understanding” examined in De mundi sensibilis and in theCritique of Pure Reason, the real use of reason is presented as a legitimate and useful performance that should be distinguished from the deceiving illusion induced by an appearance generated by reason itself. The real use of reason (its production of ideas and principles) proves itself as an unavoidable condition for the regulative use of ideas as well as a condition for the production of a critical metaphysics.
Changing the Subject
Authors: Sheppard Samantha N.
Published: May 2022

This article examines Lynn Nottage's 2011 satirical play By the Way, Meet Vera Stark, which stages the life and legacy of the fictional Vera Stark, a Black maid and struggling actress during Hollywood's golden age. Nottage's play is inspired, in part, by the career of African American actress, singer, and dancer Theresa Harris. A tale of Black women's cinematic representation and social erasure, Nottage's fabrication of film history extends beyond the staged plot to also include a digital archive documenting Vera's celebrity and career. This article explores how Nottage's play and paratexts fabulate a speculative fiction and archive about Black women's media histories, staging what I call a phantom cinema, an amalgam of real and imagined film histories that haunt, trouble, and work with and against cinema histories to creatively illuminate archival gaps in visual culture and the public imagination.
