Authors: Romero Miguel Ángel Viramontes , Alcalde Jorge Villarreal , Cervantes León Martín Cabello , Rodríguez Patricia Ducoing
Published: September 2022

Aunque no es posible cuantificar aún los efectos de la pandemia sobre la actividad económica, existen una gran cantidad de estudios que muestran los efectos que ha tenido sobre los agregados económicos: PIB, empleo, inflación, exportaciones, etc. Sin embargo, los análisis enfocados a cuantificar el efecto que ha tenido sobre las empresas pequeñas son, por decir lo menos, muy escasos. Regularmente los análisis se centran en las grandes empresas, en aquellas que mediáticamente son trascendentes pero que, a nivel, creación de empleo y efecto microeconómico no son importantes. Es por ello que el presente artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar algunos resultados preliminares que ha tenido la pandemia sobre la actividad económica de un sector importantísimo en México y en Querétaro que son las microempresas. Se analizó el efecto sobre la producción, el empleo, las ventas y otras variables económicas de empresas microempresas de la ciudad de Querétaro y de su zona metropolitana. Los resultados muestran que los efectos sobre estas empresas fueron devastadores y que es necesario que las políticas estatales, no solamente se enfoquen al apoyo de las medianas y grandes empresas (sobre todo las orientadas al sector exportador) sino que deben dirigirse al apoyo de este importante sector.

Antibiotics: Boon or Bane in Dentistry?
Authors:   Intern, Faculty of Dental Sciences- Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences. Bangalore 560054, Karnataka, India., Joseph Dr. Riya Ann
Published: September 2022

Dentistry is a vast domain devoted to managing dental infections as well as bolstering and rehabilitating the dentition lost to bacterial invasion. Antibiotics are an essential part of dentistry and its relative specialties, and prescribing antibiotics is a privilege that should not be abused. Antibiotic prescriptions in dentistry are relatively small but nonetheless significant. With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial species, there is a need to become more vigilant about their prescription, as well as an urgent need for both professional and public understanding of the appropriate use of this life-saving component of treatment. This review discusses the various principles and rationales underlying antibiotic therapy in various fields of dentistry, with an emphasis on rational antibiotic use in dentistry.

Authors:   School of Business Management, Bandung Institute of Technology, Putra Rifky Nuraza
Published: September 2022

With the tagline of “Connecting empty dining tables with empty stomachs,” LEO (disguised name) provides a food service platform where customers can reserve restaurant tables and get timely-based discounts through yield management. By getting customers to dine in during odd-eating hours, restaurants get to recoup its operating expenses. However, even with this seemingly win-win situation for all stakeholders, LEO has not been able to be as successful as they should be. This study aims to find out the cause of this low adoption rate, as well as the solution to further boost sales and overall performance of LEO Indonesia. Data collection is done through desk research, previous studies, a questionnaire to customers, an interview with the employee, and some limited internal data. Further in-depth analysis was conducted using 5 As Customer Path and Integrated Marketing Communication. This revealed that the root cause to LEO’s slowdown after their initial success, was the fact that they were focusing so much on customer retention and not enough on customer acquisition anymore. Having found the root cause, a strategy formulation was created using the ERRC Grid framework. These frameworks provided solutions for all the factors mentioned above, while focusing a lot more on LEO’s marketing strategy to increase brand awareness, adoption rate, and overall performance, since the service that LEO have been offering manages to fit the wants and needs of current and potential customers.

TROPIC AND SEMANTIC DISPLACEMENT AS MODERNIST COMPLEXITY IN WALLACE STEVENS POETRY
Authors: ÖZGÜR NİLÜFER
Published: September 2022

The American symbolist Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) is widely accepted as one of the most complicated poets of twentieth-century modernism. Due to his contribution to poetry through a genuinely innovative style that has inspired many, he has been recognized as one of the most notable and revered American poets. The present study aims to attempt a discussion on Stevens’ poetics by focusing on a number of poems that exemplify its semantic and linguistic complexity in terms of symbolic structures, imagery, and other tropic qualities. It limits itself to a number of poems that apparently accommodate Stevens’ favorite theme—the relationship between imagination and reality—and simultaneously reconstruct and deconstruct their own aesthetic delineations. Moreover, this study rests on the idea that Stevens’ body of work is itself deconstructive and that poststructuralist philosophy and deconstructionist criticism may come to aid when one attempts to demonstrate how those semantic and linguistic complexities become the coinages of modernist poems in their attempt to present themselves as organic and coherent entities, organized around a unifying principle.

POST-IMPRESSIONISM AND VIRGINIA WOOLF S EXPERIMENTATION WITH LITERARY FORMS
Authors: BAYRAKTAR NURTEN
Published: September 2022

Virginia Woolf as one of the leading figures of modernist literature was in pursuit of challenging the so-called limitations of form in fiction. Triggered by the intellectual discussions in the Bloomsbury Group, formed by a group of intellectuals and artists in England, she attempted to redefine literary form by reorganizing her fiction to oppose the painters in the group who believed that literary form is restricted because of the nature of language. Influenced by her discussions with post-impressionist artists such as Vanessa Bell, Clive Bell and Roger Fry, Woolf acknowledged that artistic creativity is intermingled by “a myriad impressions” of an “ordinary mind on an ordinary day” with its own peculiarities and dissonances. Similarly, post-impressionism rejects objectivity as a necessity in realist painting and embraces spiritualism and personality in artistic expression. Knowing that literature is not solely composed of abstract ideas, Woolf even tested new printing techniques. In her novels, not only content and narrative techniques but also the norms regarding physical organization of a book are challenged. Therefore, Woolf greyed the lines between form and content by rendering the book itself as a fragmented material. Consequently, this paper aims to discuss Woolf’s experimentalism in her selected works as a modernist attempt to blur the borders of the two edging literary components—form and content—by looking into the influences of post-impressionist art on her fiction.
ACCELERATION, MONTAGE, INTERMEDIALITY, AND THE SUBJECT: FUTURISM AND ITS LEGACY
Authors: PICCHIONE JOHN
Published: September 2022

Futurism adopts new technologies of early twentieth century as central tenets of its aesthetics and worldview. Its technomorphism prefigures cultural theory’s views on the end of the humanist subject and the posthuman. The eternity of the technological flesh is the most far-reaching expression of the Futurist utopia centred on the machine. The Futurists’ objective is to dislodge conventional forms of representation as a way to displace conceptual, cognitive, and behavioural models. Their aim is to revolutionize human identity and subjectivity. They foreshadow Virilio’s concepts of instantaneity and ubiquity in our electronic culture, as well as Bauman’s notion of liquidity as a sign of an ever-changing sense of selfhood. The intensification of sensorial elements and the colonization of the body by the machine recall McLuhan’s theories. Futurism creates fusions and fluid exchanges of the arts and opens them to intermediality, abstraction, performance, and conceptualism. It opens many doors that lead to contemporaneity.
HERSTORY FEMALE IDENTITY: POSTMODERN FEMINIST REVISION OF FEMALE CHARACTERS IN ISLAMIC NARRATIVE IN MOHJA KAHF S HAGAR POEMS Aya ELBABLY
Authors: ELBABLY AYA
Published: September 2022

Contending with the re-reading and re-writing of history that has always excluded women from its grand narratives, postmodern feminist writers have always sought to revise canonical texts from a gynocentric perspective. Through their revisionary fiction, they aimed at challenging the subordinate, marginal and invisible position of the women characters in these texts. In place of the alleged objectivity of these accounts, postmodern feminist revisionist writers transform these ancient tales while employing female insight to re-narrate the story of humanity, yet through women’s perspective. Thus, they create new texts to challenge the fundamental gender stereotypes, namely the binary images generated by the ‘collective male fantasy’ of women as divine/demonic. This reclamation additionally shatters the imposed silence upon women, while granting these female characters the voice and agency they were denied. This paper demonstrates Mohja Kahf’s re-writing of the female characters, Hajar, Balqis and Zuleikha in her poetry collection Hagar Poems (2016). Kahf re-envisions the Islamic narrative by recollecting these women’s stories from a postmodern feminist revisionist perspective. Such re-appropriation of these female figures unsettles the traditional linear Islamic history that conventionally focuses on male characters and recreates these eminent women in new archetypal forms. In effect, this paper draws upon the critical theories of postmodernist revisionism, using Adrienne Rich’s seminal concept of ‘Re-vision’ and Alicia Ostriker’s feminist revisionist mythmaking theory, along with postmodern feminist historiography and in particular Linda Hutcheon’s theory of historiographic metafiction, in addition to Islamic feminism. Hence, the paper displays how Kahf recasts these notable women to create a dialogue between the past and the present. Her revisionary feminist re-narration renders a possible divergence to the patriarchal symbolic and problematizes the androcentric basis of history. Finally, the paper demonstrates how Kahf’s poetry reinforces modern Muslim women’s agency and enriches their subjectivity.
REPRESENTATION OF THE OTHER IN WESTERN HISTORY: A POSTCOLONIAL READING
Authors: MALEK RASHA
Published: September 2022

Much of the European discourse on the Other has been informed by canonical figures like Kant, Hegel, and Freud, who have misrepresented the non-European non-white with special emphasis on women who were believed to be generally inferior to men.This has urged postmodern and postcolonial writers like Gayatri Spivak, Edward Said, Franz Fanon, and Luce Irigaray to counter those writers in order to rewrite the history and identity of women and the non-European. This paper traces the history of ideas regarding the representation of the Other and offers a postcolonial critique of theories advanced by Kant, Hegel, and Freud. Kant represented the Other as lacking judgment faculties whose taste and moral judgment cannot be compared to the wise European. Hegel excluded the Other from history and alleged that the only history is European since he believes that the Other is incapable of writing history. Finally, Freud portrayed the Other as savage and primitive whose mind resembles his neurotic patients. He also represented women’s sexuality as inferior to men. Such misrepresentations have resulted in a long history of dehumanization and prejudices towards the Other. This has triggered the emergence of the postcolonial discourse in order to balance the Othering process. For instance, Spivak attacked Kant for disempowering and excluding the non-Europeans from his Critique of Judgment.She also critiqued Hegel for creating Oriental stereotypes in his Philosophy of History. Hegel’s master/slave dialectic has been deconstructed by Franz Fanon, who argues that the black cannot attain self-recognition through the gaze of the white, since the black has always been portrayed as inferior in the white’s discourse. Irigaray challenged Freud by arguing that he lacks an understanding of female sexuality. Edward Said contradicted Freud’s ambivalent notion of the non-European. Such revisionist history aims at rewriting the Other’s image and identity.
HOW TO COPE WITH POSTMODERN TEXTS: TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF INTERTEXTUALITY, PARODY, AND PASTICHE IN READING POSTMODERN TEXTS
Authors: AYAR M. ZAFER
Published: September 2022

This work explores how postmodernism has developed its own literary style reflecting the social, political, religious as well as philosophical and intellectual mood of the era. Postmodern texts have been created and recreated out of a blend of varied texts from previous periods, and they succeeded in creating a more conscious and questioning audience. Throughout the postmodern period, readers replaced authors and writerly texts replaced readerly texts. Literary texts began to be deconstructed according to the notions and theories of scholars and philosophers such as Roland Barthes, John Barth, and Jean-François Lyotard. In an attempt to succeed in producing new texts, postmodern writers established a sort of textual relationship between metanarratives and little narratives, applying intertextuality that is in a close interrelation with parody and pastiche – two complicated terms often miscible to one another. This study seeks to clarify the meaning of postmodern literary works by highlighting some postmodern literary devices such as intertextuality, parody, and pastiche in The French Lieutenant’s Woman by John Fowles, Night Train by Martin Amis and The Crying Lot of 49 by Thomas Pynchon.

It is often observed that the students of new generation have large number of distractions. This leads to lesser concentration on what they are studying and it effects into lesser assimilation of subject matter, lesser confidence and lesser overall performance. It is a well-known fact that assimilation increases with increase in concentration. In order to improve the performance of students in whatever they do, we planned to use some innovative methods for improving their concentration. We experimented this on the fresh batch of students that was admitted in 2018-19 to increase their concentration and built-up their confidence through a new method pedagogy involving Gaming, Micro-projects, Meditation (Omkar Recitation) and recitation of multiplication-tables etc. These activities were daily conducted in the specially allotted student’s hour.In order to measure the outcome of our experiment, we conducted an aptitude test at the beginning and once again after doing this experimentation over a period of full semester. The outcome of this experimentation is found to be very encouraging. This paper presents the innovative methodology adopted over a group of student’s improvement of for concentration and discusses the visible outcome in the better performance of the batch.

Inculcating Research Culture with an Outcome-Oriented Technical Project Evaluation Framework
Authors: Vibhute Pritish , Gupta Sumeet , Sayyad Muzffarali , Gondkar Snehal
Published: September 2022

The Outcome of the Teaching-Learning Process of any specific subject or course is measured using a standard statistical method, the majority of which relies on the marks obtained by each learner, according to procedures and guidelines defined by numerous national-international consortiums, boards, or councils for Outcome-Based Education (OBE). Rarely has it been linked to documentary evidence demonstrating the attainment of competency expected to emerge following successful completion of the course. At the same time, a significant number of technical institutes across India are in desperate need of good research, which leads to massive publications, IPR, startups, and cash. For the previous few decades, the faculty has been the torchbearer for the cause. The paradigm is changing toward learners now that NEP 2020 has been implemented. Students' projects are now solemnly regarded as a major contributor to research and a source of creativity. Calculating the outcome of project-based courses and analyzing them with sufficient transparency to produce researchbased results is a mammoth task. To improve the institute's image, the article developed a novel technique for outcome-oriented technical project evaluation that focuses on instilling a research culture among the learners.

Introduction: This paper examines the provision of digital information resources in academic libraries with focus on university libraries in Nigeria. Method: A descriptive survey design was used. The population of the study was 744 certified academic librarians working in the three tiers of universities (federal, state, and private) as contained in the list maintained by the Librarians’ Registration Council of Nigeria. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Analysis: The data were analyzed quantitatively through the Statistical Package of the Social Sciences (SPSS), using percentages, mean scores, and standard deviation. Results: Access to digital information resources in libraries is low due to non-implementation of real time provision of information resources to users, emanating from lack of library management software that would drive the process, professionals’ lack of skills in implementing digital information services, and lack of relevant formal institutional digital information provision policies. Conclusion: Embracing real time digital library services is essential to ensure effective provision of access to information for users. The solution lies in subscription to library management software and developing the capacity of the librarians for its effective implementation.

Introduction. Online social network technologies have been widely used to enhance HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment programs; however, little is known about the current use and potential drivers and barriers of these technologies among Iranian people living with HIV. Method. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 28people living with HIV/AIDS already using online social network technologies. Analysis. Thematic analysis was used to analyse interviews. Results. Results showed that the average time spent on online social network platforms was 3.5-5.7 hours daily. Peer groups and pre-existing platforms (groups) established by health care providers or community-based organisations were frequently used by people living with HIV/AIDS for communication. Seeking and sharing health information and personal experiences, staying connected with peers and care providers, and social support exchange were major drivers for using online social network platforms. Cross-posting of users or sharing irrelevant or disappointing posts, gender issues, and poor engagement of users were reported as major barriers to online social network use among respondents. Conclusions. Our findings indicated that online social network technologies have empowered Iranian people living with HIV/AIDS, making them more connected, safe, and able to access HIV/AIDS-related information and services. Future studies are needed to investigate the feasibility and acceptability of these interventions among key populations including sex workers and injection drug users

Published: September 2022

Image Enhancement is one of many vital and complicated techniques in medical image processing. The main aim of image enhancement is to boost the visual appearance of an image, or to offer a “better rework'' illustration of the image. Numerous types of images like medical images from totally different issues like poor distinction and noise. To enhance the contrast of an image and remove the noise is necessary to maintain image quality. X-ray and ultrasound imaging are the most preferred medical imaging technologies which are important for diagnosis of disease, but the edges and borders of the images are not as clear as expected due to interference and low intensity in images. Speckle noise is the main reason behind the degradation of quality in ultrasound images. It is mandatory to remove this noise to get better images. Several techniques have already been projected and devised for enhancing the digital images. Deep learning algorithms, particularly convolutional networks, have speedily become a strategy of selection for analyzing medical images. The main aim of this paper is to provide an overview of different techniques used in medical image enhancement and how deep learning provides the better solution for enhancement.

Published: September 2022

Engine mounts themselves are small parts that are meant to stabilize, as well as properly align, a vehicle’s engine. So, even though these mounts are small, they play a large role in the overall functionality of the heart of your vehicle. Moreover, when these supposedly small and minor aspects of the vehicle go bad. An automotive engine-body chassis system is typically subjected to unbalanced engine forces, uneven firing forces especially at the idling speeds, shaking forces and torques due to reciprocating parts, dynamic excitations from gearboxes and accessories, and road excitation. These tendencies give rise to undesired vibrations which lead to an uncomfortable ride and also cause additional stresses in the automobile frame and body. Brackets plays a vital role when the vibrations are produced it helps engine to maintain a static hold so their far no failure should occur and also while accidents take place it protects them from major damage..

Rasgos sociales y tendencias políticas en El Salvador (1969-1979)
Authors: López Vallecillos Italo
Published: September 2022

El autor analiza los principales rasgos sociales y las tendencias políticas de El Salvador, de la década 1969-1979, correlacionando hechos y situaciones históricas, a manera de tipificar la crisis del modelo de dominación social y las corrientes políticas que han prevalecido desde entonces. La debilidad estructural del sistema íntimamente ligada a la conducción coyuntural del Estado y sus aparatos gubernamentales, ha devenido en un profundo deterioro de las relaciones sociales y en un claro enfrentamiento de la clase dominada contra la clase dominante, en diferentes grados de politización. El esquema represión-subversión muestra la agudización del conflicto y las instancias o mediaciones a que han apelado las fuerzas en contienda. El golpe militar del 15 de octubre y sus consecuencias en el proceso, es juzgado como una alternativa que puede potenciar la democratización nacional, o bien presentarse como el último intento del instituto armado institucional para evitar la guerra civil.

iglesia en el actual proceso del país
Authors: Sobrino Jon
Published: September 2022

En este artículo se trata de presentar la reacción de la Iglesia ante la insurrección militar y, más de fondo, su ubicación en el actual proceso tal como se va desarrollando. "Iglesia" significa aquí sustancialmente la Iglesia de la Arquidiócesis a través de las manifestaciones y tomas de postura de Mons. Romero. Por lo que toca a la misma insurrección militar, la Iglesia la considera legítima, por lo que tiene de negación del pasado. Su legitimación real sin embargo es cosa de realización de contenidos en favor de las mayorías populares, quienes son los últimos depositarios de la legitimación. Tarea muy urgente para ello es la clara ruptura con el pasado sobre todo en las masacres y en el esclarecimiento de los presos políticos, para que el nuevo régimen no degenere en uno de seguridad militar. Por lo que toca a su ubicación en el proceso incipiente, la Iglesia lo considera ambiguo, pero también abierto y moldeable. De ahí la exigencia a configurar lo más cristiana y humanamente posible el proceso como tal. Esto no debe interpretarse como apoyo o rechazo a la Junta, sino como apoyo o rechazo a lo que el proceso va dando de sí. Deberá considerar como tareas prioritarias en la configuración del proceso la exigencia de cambios estructurales de fondo en lo socioeconómico, la exigencia a las diversas fuerzas políticas a que pongan su poder al servicio del bien de las mayorías populares, la enunciación de principios utópicos -unidad, servicio a la realidad y no a la imagen, humanización de la necesaria lucha- para humanizar el proceso. Deberá por último repensar su propia identidad en la medida en que el proceso exija un nuevo tipo de encarnación en la nueva realidad. Dada la fluidez del actual proceso, las actuales reflexiones tienen mucho de provisionalidad y son por ello revisables. Las reflexiones, sin embargo, que provienen de criterios teológicos últimos pudieran tener un valor más permanente.

camino económico hacia la democracia
Authors: De Sebastián Luis
Published: September 2022

Este ensayo trata de delinear cómo deberá organizarse la economía salvadoreña en los próximos años para hacer posible una democracia liberal estable y permanente. No se trata aquí de la transición al socialismo, sino únicamente de la transición a un régimen estable. En esta parte se desarrollan tres exigencias fundamentales: la distribución del poder económico, la introducción de la planificación económica, y la orientación del bien de las mayorías de la política económica a corto y mediano plazo. Se deja para un segundo ensayo: la participación de las mayorías en la toma de decisiones económicas y los ajustes en el ámbito internacional.

¿Es posible la democracia en un país subdesarrollado?
Authors: Montes Segundo
Published: September 2022

El artículo tiene una primera parte teórica, en la que el autor intenta acercarse a un criterio objetivo para definir la democracia, basándose en autores representativos de diferentes escuelas. La democracia social parece ser requisito para la democracia política. Pero esa democracia social difícilmente se obtiene si no es por la toma del poder por el pueblo. Esto, a su vez, tampoco instaura la democracia, sino la dictadura del proletariado. En la segunda parte se analiza la realidad social de El Salvador, para evidenciar la carencia de una democracia social y de la consiguiente democracia política. Pero el autor sospecha que incluso una revolución socialista no conduciría fácilmente a una democracia que, en cualquier hipótesis, parece ser más que una realidad, una tendencia, o una utopía.

Muslim Qur’ānic Interpretation Today: Media, Genealogies and Interpretive Communities, Johanna Pink (Sheffield: Equinox Publishing, 2019)
Authors: Dilek Burcu
Published: September 2022

Kur’ân yorumunda konu ve kaynak bakımından önemli değişikliklerin yaşandığı çağdaş tefsir hareketi birçok araştırmacıyı bu konuyu farklı açılardan ele almaya sevk etmiştir. Modern dönemde kaleme alınan tefsirler bölgesel ve toplumsal açılardan farklıları içermekle birlikte genel itibariyle çağdaş Kur’ân yorumu, geleneksel tefsir metinlerindeki detaylı tartışmalardan farklı olarak temelde Kur’ân’ı ve onun mesajını merkeze almaktadır. Ancak Johanna Pink’e göre çağdaş dönemdeki bu değişim tam anlamıyla bir kırılma değildir. Yazar kullandığı teorik yaklaşımdan hareketle bu değişimin aslında bir sürekliliğin parçası olduğunu kabul etmektedir. Çalışmasında da teorik çerçevesini bu şekilde belirlediği değişimin yaşandığı ortamı ve Kur’ân yorumuna etkilerini tespit etmektedir. Yazar bu değişim sürecinde dini ve siyasi otoritenin yanı sıra medyanın da etkilerini farklı bağlamlarda tartışmıştır. Ayrıca Pink, çağdaş tefsir yöntemini geleneksel, Selefî, postmodern yorum yöntemleriyle kıyaslamış ve modern dönemde Kur’ân yorumunun nasıl şekillendiğini ortaya koymuştur.
