Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor of the Submandibular Gland: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Li Qingjiao , Yuan Xiaolu
Published: January 2021

BackgroundDesmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) was a rare and aggressive malignant tumor mostly occurring in the abdominal and pelvic cavity of young patients. However, few cases had been reported concerning DSRCT located in the head and neck region. Case presentationA 25-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to the enlargement of the right submandibular mass. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3 cm×2 cm solid nodule located in the right submandibular, and physical examination showed no other occupying lesion elsewhere. Histologically, the tumor was composed of various-sized small round cell nests, embedded in an abundant desmoplastic stroma. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were typically positive for epithelial (CK and EMA), mesenchymal (Vimentin and Desmin), and neuroendocrine marker (CD56, NSE, Syn and CgA), but negative for WT-1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) revealed the presence of a break-apart involving Ewing sarcoma region 1 (EWSR1) gene. This tumor was finally diagnosed as DSRCT in the right submandibular gland. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and showed recurrence after 17 months of follow-up.ConclusionsDSRCT of the submandibular gland is rare, the diagnosis of this tumor in uncommon location relies on the histomorphology, immunophenotype and EWSR1 gene detection. Differential diagnosis including primary salivary gland tumors and the other small round cell tumors needs to be excluded.
Application of Chaotic Encryption Algorithm Based on Variable Parameters in RFID Security
Authors: Guo Yi , Yang Jianfang , Liu Baolong
Published: January 2021

In recent years, chaotic encryption has been applied in the field of cryptography by virtue of its unique characteristics, and it has received more and more attention in the security of RFID data transmission. Using the same key for encryption and decryption operations is a lightweight encryption algorithm. However, there are various problems in the application process of chaotic encryption: (1) nonlinear dynamic characteristics degradation and short-cycle cycle problems will occur under the influence of computer limited accuracy; (2) numerical conversion operations are required during application, to a certain extent It will affect the randomness of the iterative sequence; (3) During the iterative process, the iterative sequence cannot be spread over the entire value interval, and the randomness is poor. This paper proposes an improved segmented Logistic mapping encryption algorithm, uses the m-sequence to perturb initial value and sets a fixed step to change the control parameter value to generate a chaotic key stream sequence, and applies it to the RFID system data transmission security mechanism to encrypt the data. Experimental simulation and performance analysis show that the iterated chaotic sequence has good random distribution characteristics, unpredictability and traversability. Compared to the previous improvement, the key space is increased to reach the size of 1024 space and can meet the security needs, which improve RFID data security and can effectively avoid various security problems.

Published: January 2021

Background Internally displaced persons (IDPs) forced to flee from their homes due to conflict and drought are at particular risk of morbidity and mortality due to diarrhoeal diseases. Regular handwashing with soap could substantially reduce the risk of these infections, but the behaviour is challenging to practice while living in resource-poor, informal settlements. To mitigate these challenges, humanitarian aid organisations distribute hygiene kits including soap and handwashing infrastructure. Our study aimed to assess the effect of modified hygiene kits on handwashing behaviours among IDPs in Moyale, Ethiopia. Methods The pilot study evaluated three interventions separately; liquid soap, a ‘good quality’ scented bar soap and a mirror as modifications to a standard hygiene kit. The hygiene kit was distributed to four study arms, with three of the arms receiving one of the interventions in addition. Three to six weeks after distribution, behaviour change and perceptions of the interventions was assessed through structured observations, surveys and focus group discussions. Results At follow-up, handwashing with soap was rare at key times in all study arms. In the arm that received liquid soap, handwashing with soap was seen at 20% of key times but this was not indicated significantly different to the control arm were a prevalence of 17% (p-value=0.348). In the two other intervention arms prevalence was <11%. Participants in FGDs indicated that the liquid soap, scented bar soap and the mirror made handwashing more desirable. In contrast the standard bar soap distributed in hygiene kits was not viewed as being nice to use. Conclusion This study did not identify any effect of the modified kits on handwashing behaviour. However, it did indicate that there is value in better understanding hygiene product preferences as this may contribute to increased acceptability and use among crisis-affected populations. The challenges of doing research in conflict-affected regions had considerable implications on the design and implementation of this study.Trial registration The trial was registered at www.ClinicalTrials.gov 6 September 2019 (reg no: NCT04078633)
False Seedbeds Reduce Labor Requirements for Weeding in Chile Pepper
Authors: Schutte Brian J. , Sanchez Adriana D. , Beck Leslie L. , Idowu Omololu John
Published: January 2021

This study evaluated false seedbeds, which are sequences of irrigation and tillage that eliminate weed seedlings before crop planting, to reduce requirements for hand hoeing in chile pepper (Capsicum annuum). To address this objective, a field study was conducted near Las Cruces, NM from July 2015 to Oct. 2016 (experimental run 1) and July 2016 to Oct. 2017 (experimental run 2). False seedbeds were designed to target weeds that typically emerge after chile pepper planting. This was done by implementing false seedbeds the summer before chile pepper seeding. During chile pepper seasons, data included repeated measures of weed seedling emergence, amounts of time required for individuals to hoe field sections (i.e., hoeing time), and yields of two chile products: early harvest of green fruit and late harvest of red fruit. Hoeing time and yield data were included in cost–benefit analyses that also incorporated expenses and revenues projected by crop budget models for the study region. Results indicated false seedbeds caused a 54% decrease in weed population density during the chile pepper season of experimental run 1; however, for experimental run 2, false seedbeds did not affect cumulative weed seedling emergence. For both experimental runs, false seedbeds reduced hoeing times, suggesting that false seedbeds affected hoeing by means other than reduced weed density. After accounting for costs for implementation, false seedbeds reduced hand hoeing costs by $262/acre to $440/acre. These reductions in hoeing costs coincided with improved profitability in all but one combination of year and product. Green fruit yield was lower in false seedbed plots in experimental run 1; however, false seedbeds did not affect green fruit yield in experimental run 2, or red fruit yield in both experimental runs. These results indicate that false seedbeds implemented the summer before planting are promising techniques for reducing labor requirements for weeding in chile pepper production.

The seismic profiles analysis of 4,533 km study area made it possible to study the sedimentary deposits in the Ivorian onshore basin. The method used consisted of manual plots of the seismic sections leading to the production of isochronos, iso-velocity, isobaths and isopac maps. As for the stratigraphic interpretation, it was used to develop a sedimentary model to extract information on the nature of sedimentary deposits and the mechanisms of their establishment based on the analysis of seismic facies. Examination of the different seismic profiles of the study area allowed the onshore sedimentary series to be subdivided into four main sequences which are: sequences I, II, III and IV. Thus, this analysis revealed two stages of sedimentary deposits linked to the behavior of the reflectors: 1. a syn-rift stage, characterized by significant fracturing in the sedimentation with faults and tilted blocks inthe Lower Cretaceous 2. a post-rift stage , corresponding to a less deformed sedimentation with parallel and continuous reflectors from the Upper Cretaceous to the present . These two phases allow us to understand the stratigraphic evolution of the onshore basin.

İnsana özgü bir varlık olarak dil, geçmişten geleceğe kültürün en önemli aynası ve taşıyıcısıdır. Dil, içinde bulunulan coğrafyanın ve bu coğrafya üzerinde yaşayan milletin izlerini taşır. Dilin malzemesi olan sözvarlığına bakılarak bir milletin yaşayış şekli, dünya görüşü ve kültürü hakkında fikir sahibi olunabilir. Sözvarlığında görülen değişmeler o milletin yaşayış biçiminin, dünyayı algılayış şeklinin ve kültürünün de değiştiğinin göstergesidir. Günlük hayatta kullanıma giren her unsur beraberinde sözvarlığımıza yeni katkılar sunarken, hayatımızdan çıkan her unsur da beraberinde ona karşılık olan kelimelerin düşmesine sebep olur. Bunun en tipik örneklerinden biri de sabandır. Bir toprak işleme aleti olarak saban yakın zamana kadar tarımda ana toprak işleme aleti olarak kullanılırken teknolojinin gelişmesiyle bugün büyük oranda kullanımdan çıkmış, yerini daha mekanik aletlere bırakmıştır. Bu gelişme beraberinde saban ve sabanı oluşturan unsurlarla ilgili söz varlığının dilimizden düşme sürecini hızlandırmıştır. Bu bağlamda Türk Dil Kurumu tarafından hazırlanan Derleme Sözlüğü bugün standart yazı dilinde olmayan, unutulmaya yüz tutan kelimeleri barındırması açısından önemli bir kaynaktır. Bu çalışmada saban kelimesinin etimolojisi ile tarihi ve çağdaş lehçelerdeki kullanımı hakkında bilgi verildikten sonra Anadolu ağızlarındaki sabanla ilgili genel adlandırmalar, sabanı oluşturan temel parça ve kısımlarla ilgili adlandırma formlarına dair sözvarlığı ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır.

Kırgızların 840 yılında Orhon Uygur Kağanlığının başkenti Karabalgasun’u ele geçirmesiyle Uygurların büyük bir kısmı batıya, Tanrı Dağları’nın kuzey ve güney eteklerine, Tarım havzasına, kalanlarıysa güneye, Çin’in kuzeyine dağılmıştır. Tarım havzasına göç eden Uygurlar burada tekrar örgütlenerek Uygur İdikut Hanlığını kurmuş ve bu devlet XIV. yüzyıla kadar varlığını devam ettirmiştir.

Uygurlar bu beş asırlık dönemde çok köklü bir medeniyet inşa etmiş tıptan mühendisliğe, müzikten edebiyata her türlü bilim ve sanat kolunun Asya’daki en önemli temsilcilerinden biri olmuştur. Büyük çoğunluğu inanç olarak Budizm’in Mahayana mezhebine bağlı olan Uygurlar, Budizm kültür dairesi içinde bir edebiyat meydana getirmiş ve bu dönemde pek çok çeviri ve uyarlama eser Eski Uygurcaya kazandırılmıştır.

Bu eserlerin yanı sıra Uygurlardan günümüze hukuk belgeleri ve sözleşmeler kalmıştır. Belgelerde tarihlendirme on iki hayvanlı Türk takvimine göre yapılmıştır. Araştırmacılar belgeler üzerinde yaptıkları çalışmalarla tarih aralığını Çin’deki Moğol asıllı Yüan Hanedanlığı dönemiyle sınırlandırmıştır. Bu çalışmada Uygur hukuk belgelerinin altı tanesinde tanıklanan onluk ve yüzlük sözcükleri ve diğer dillik ölçütler üzerinden söz konusu belgelerin tarih tespitinin yapılması amaçlanmaktadır.

Âşıklık geleneği, Türkoloji araştırmalarının belki de en çok çalışılan alanlarından birisidir. Türk kültür ekolojisinin önemli bir unsuru olan bu gelenek, dini-ritüelistik kökenlerinden eğlence tasarımlarının nesnesi olduğu sürece değin bir şekilde ayakta kalmasını bilmiş, yine sosyokültürel bağlamda statü sahibi bilge şairler olan âşıklar da bu yolda çaba sarf etmiş, belirli ölçülerde çeşitli kültür ortamlarına, bu ortamların unsurlarına ve halkın/yöneticilerin reflekslerine bir ölçüde uyum sağlayabilmişlerdir. Araştırma, pek çok sanatsal organizasyon ve gelenekte olduğu gibi, belirli sosyokültürel bağlama, geleneği takip eden, yaşatan ve bilen katılımcı kitlesine, ekonomik bir arka plana ve destekleyici patronlara ihtiyaç duyan âşıklık geleneğinin geçmişi ve güncel durumu üzerine bazı tespitleri içermektedir. Bu tespitlerse, geleneğin öznesi olan âşıklar, geleneğin ikincil dereceden taşıyıcıları olan katılımcı kitle ve bağlam, kültürel organizasyonları destekleyicisi patronlar ve koşullar üzerinden gerçekleştirilecektir. Nihayetinde âşıklık geleneğinin bazı olumlu ve olumsuz nitelemelere muhatap olduğu, kendisini mevcut şartlar ve meseleler bağlamında güncellemekte problemler yaşadığı, elektronik kültür ortamıyla birlikte geçmişte haber kaynağı olma, tarihsel hafıza taşıyıcılığı, gerçekleştirilen bir kültürel eylemi uğurlu/bereketli kılma ve bilgelik gibi özellikleri olan âşıkların statü kaybına uğradıkları, geleneksel icra törenlerinde ve usta-çırak ilişkisinde bazı değişiklikler yaşandığı, şimdilerde yaygın olarak atışmalar (taşlamalar/takılmalar) üzerinden tanınır/bilinir olan geleneğin medya patronlarınca eğlence kültürünün bir unsuru olarak kabul edildiği, gelenekte kahvehane-köy odası-sağdıç geceleri temelli eril icra tavrından vazgeçilerek radyo-televizyon-internet ortamı merkezli yeni hitap, söylem ve konulara yönelindiği, kentlerden kopamayan âşıkların yerel tavırlardan da bir türlü vazgeçemedikleri anlaşılmıştır.

Published: January 2021

Anadolu’nun geçmişinde köklü bir oyun geleneği yatmaktadır. Çok daha eskilere gidilirse bu oyunların mitik ve ayinsel yönlerinin olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu oyunlar zamanla toplumu bir arada tutan onların iyi vakit geçirmelerini sağlayan, eğlendiren seyirlik oyunlara dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmada Anadolu’nun pek çok yöresinde devecilik kültürünün izlerini taşıyan ‚deve oyunları‛ örneklendirilecektir.

Anadolu’nun toprağa ve hayvancılığa bağlı yaşam tarzı toplumun kültürel kimliğinde, hafızasında belirgin olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu etki hayatın hemen her alanına yaşam tarzıyla, söz varlığıyla sirayet etmektedir. Gündelik hayattan, geleneklere, sözlü kültür ürünlerine kadar bu etkiyi tespit etmek mümkündür. Deve oyunları da sözlü kültür ürünleri arasında yaşayan, geleneksel oyunlar arasındadır. Devecilik kültürüne dair yapılan saha çalışmalarında geçmişte develerin hayatın pek çok alanında yer aldığı zamanla sayılarının azaldığı, gündelik hayat içindeki işlevlerinin güreşlere doğru evrildiği bu sayede deveciliğin zamanla eğlence odaklı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anadolu’nun pek çok bölgesinde özellikle kış aylarında, bayram günlerinde, düğünlerde pek çok köy seyirlik oyunu özellikle hayvan benzetmecesine dayalı deve oyunları oynanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada dikkat çekici olan durum deve oyunlarının deveciliğin azalmaya başladığı yörelerde oyunlar yoluyla toplumun hafızasında sürdürüldüğü yönündeki tezdir.

Seventeen Schiff bases bearing 2-aminothiophene derivatives were designed and synthesized using molecular simplification. The resulting compounds (4a-4q) were evaluated for their in vitro antifungal activity against dermatophytes. Prediction of their druglikeness and pharmacokinetic properties, establishment of their structure-activity relationships (SAR), and cytotoxic evaluation of the most active compounds were performed. Using an eco-friendly procedure, microwave assisted synthesis resulted in compounds in good yields (35-85%). Compounds 4a-4q presented good druglikeness and pharmacokinetic profiles and no cytotoxicity for any cell line tested up to 100 μM. The compounds presenting the best antifungal profiles were 4e, 4f, 4g, 4k, 4l, 4m, 4o and 4p with more than one minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value occurring between 16‑64 μg mL-1, thus, in some cases better than the reference drug (fluconazole). SAR testing indicated that the presence of halogens and nitro substituents increases antifungal activity. Taken together, the results demonstrate that 2-aminothiophene derivatives are promising lead compounds for the development of antifungal drugs.

O estudo da dinâmica geomorfológica demanda o reconhecimento dos processos superficiais. A partir de uma visão sistêmica, os elementos da paisagem e os inputs de energia atuando sobre eles se refletem nos ambientes de sedimentação e seus depósitos. Neste contexto, as áreas de exceção úmida circunscritas pelo ambiente semiárido do Nordeste do Brasil compõem um conjunto ambiental único, cujos registros de eventos denudacionais pretéritos, sob a forma de depósitos de encosta representam um proxy regional de grande qualidade para a reconstrução de sua evolução temporal. Diante disso, este trabalho buscou identificar os marcadores da dinâmica geomorfológica do maciço sub-úmido de Mata Grande, Alagoas, expressos em suas coberturas superficiais, comparando-os com os de outras áreas congêneres sobre a Província Borborema. A pesquisa partiu da descrição dos colúvios da área, por meio da análise de sua granulometria e morfoscopia, no intuito de proceder comparações com materiais semelhantes oriundos de outros brejos de altitude. Observou-se que os colúvios de Mata Grande são compostos em sua maior parte por areia lamosa, ocorrendo ainda fluxos de detritos incorporando de seixos a matacões. Os materiais mostraram-se semelhantes aos dos outros ambientes de encostas sub-úmidas do NE, corroborando a existência de uma dinâmica própria a esses ambientes.

Published: January 2021

Introduction. Sport motivation is generally considered in educational research, while its psychological foundations remain understudied. This study examines the impact of children’s sociometric status, anxiety level, and family background, including parental attitudes, on their motivation for participating in artistic gymnastics.
Methods. The study sample comprised 95 preschool-aged and early school-aged children participating in artistic gymnastics for more than a year. In order to identify the psychological and socio-psychological characteristics of children’s motivation, the following measurement tools were used in this study: (a) the Parental Attitudes Questionnaire (A. Ya. Varga, V. V. Stolin), (b) the Choose the Right Face test for the assessment of anxiety (R. Tamml, M. Dorky, V. Amen), (c) the Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale, CMAS (modified by A. M. Prikhozhan), (d) the measure for assessing the level of students’ sport motivation by N. G. Luskanova (modified by O. N. Stepanova & A. N. Volkova), (e) sociometry, and (f) statistical data processing.
Results. The findings indicated that there are significant differences in characteristics of children with different levels of motivation. Depending on the parenting style, children with a high level of sport motivation had average or high levels of anxiety and high or low sociometric status in their training groups. Parental attitudes towards these children are characterized by a high level of acceptance and cooperation, which manifest itself in a positive attention to their interests, respect, and encouragement of independence and initiative.
Discussion. The results of this study contribute to our understanding of psychological conditions for optimizing children’s sport motivation, open up opportunities for further research on the socio-psychological factors for children’s sports motivation, and may be readily used in training programs to improve the psychological competence of sports coaches.

Published: January 2021

Background

Family-based behavioral therapy is an efficacious approach to deliver weight management counseling to children and their parents. However, most families do not have access to in-person, evidence-based treatment. We previously developed and tested DRIVE (Developing Relationships that Include Values of Eating and Exercise), a home-based parent training program to maintain body weight among children at risk for obesity, with the intent to eventually disseminate it nationally alongside SafeCare, a parent support program that focuses on parent-child interactions. Currently the DRIVE program has only been tested independently of SafeCare. This study created the “mHealth DRIVE” program by further adapting DRIVE to incorporate digital and mobile health tools, including remotely delivered sessions, a wireless scale that enabled a child-tailored weight graph, and a pedometer. Telehealth delivery via mHealth platforms and other digital tools can improve program cost-effectiveness, deliver long-term care, and directly support both families and care providers.

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine preliminary acceptability and effectiveness of the mHealth DRIVE program among children and parents who received it and among SafeCare providers who potentially could deliver it.

Methods

Study 1 was a 13-week pilot study of a remotely delivered mHealth family-based weight management program. Satisfaction surveys were administered, and height and weight were measured pre- and post-study. Study 2 was a feasibility/acceptability survey administered to SafeCare providers.

Results

Parental and child satisfaction (mean of 4.9/6.0 and 3.8/5.0, respectively) were high, and children’s (N=10) BMI z-scores significantly decreased (mean –0.14, SD 0.17; P=.025). Over 90% of SafeCare providers (N=74) indicated that SafeCare families would benefit from learning how to eat healthily and be more active, and 80% of providers reported that they and the families would benefit from digital tools to support child weight management.

Conclusions

Pediatric mHealth weight management interventions show promise for effectiveness and acceptability by families and providers.

Mass Disasters and Burnout in Nephrology Personnel
Authors: Sever Mehmet Sukru , Ortiz Alberto , Maggiore Umberto , Bac-García Enrique , Vanholder Raymond
Published: January 2021

Mass disasters result in extensive health problems and make health care delivery problematic, as has been the case during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although COVID-19 was initially considered a pulmonary problem, it soon became clear that various other organs were involved. Thus, many care providers, including kidney health personnel, were overwhelmed or developed burnout. This review aims to describe the spectrum of burnout in mass disasters and suggests solutions specifically for nephrology personnel by extending previous experience to the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout (a psychologic response to work-related stress) is already a frequent part of routine nephrology practice and, not surprisingly, is even more common during mass disasters due to increased workload and specific conditions, in addition to individual factors. Avoiding burnout is essential to prevent psychologic and somatic health problems in personnel as well as malpractice, understaffing, and inadequate health care delivery, all of which increase the health care burden of disasters. Burnout may be prevented by predisaster organizational measures, which include developing an overarching plan and optimizing health care infrastructure, and ad hoc disaster-specific measures that encompass both organizational and individual measures. Organizational measures include increasing safety, decreasing workload and fear of malpractice, optimizing medical staffing and material supplies, motivating personnel, providing mental health support, and enabling flexibility in working circumstances. Individual measures include training on coping with stress and problematic conditions, minimizing the stigma of emotional distress, and maintaining physical health. If these measures fall short, asking for external help is mandatory to avoid an inefficient disaster health care response. Minimizing burnout by applying these measures will improve health care provision, thus saving as many lives as possible.
The Role Which Religion Played during the King Philip’s War
Authors: Hu Tom
Published: January 2021

King Philip’s war (1675-1676) was arguably one of the most brutal and bloody conflicts in the Atlantic world. As a war fought among the English colonial forces and the Natives, King Philip’s war was an important turning point, as it secured the colony’s position over the Natives. Most of the Indian resistance were killed or enslaved during the war. The rest of the Indian population after the war experienced an extreme demographic decline through frequent dislocation and death (Note 1). However, the war ended with the death of Metacom, the sachem of the Wampanoag tribe. The war was victorious for the English, as it undermined Native military strength and political sovereignty and reduced future resistance to expansion, giving the English control over some of the colonies and Native reservations (Note 2).Many historians narrate the war by focusing on the causes and effects of this brutal conflict. However, this paper looks at the different roles that religion played in the war, considering the motives and effects of the evangelization, and the effects of the war on Christian Indians. This paper also examines how the Puritan evangelists and religion contributed and perpetuated the war through using evangelization to create cultural divisions within the tribal communities and creating strong racial distinctions among the English colonists and the Indians. Throughout the war, religion perpetuated and prolonged the war by creating religious and cultural divisions among the tribes; by giving strong justification for anti-Indian bias; and by giving both sides confidence that they had God’s blessing.

As perspectivas teóricas se deram pelo entendimento da infância enquanto categoria geracional da Sociologia da Infância, construída por pessoas nascidas numa mesma geração. Por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória, o estudo apresentou as características das infâncias de 88 jovens da Licenciatura em Educação Física da UFPR, que viveram suas infâncias na década de 1990. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram a identificação e categorização de elementos de narrativas escritas, por meio da análise de conteúdo. Assim, apesar de existirem diferentes infâncias, foi possível categorizar elementos comuns da Cultura Infantil, nas narrativas analisadas, e identificar características similares sobre espaços, relações e experiências da criança.

Authors: Gómez Rodríguez Tomás , Ríos Bolívar Humberto , Zambrano Reyes Adriana
Published: January 2021

Empleando una muestra de 71 países y un período que abarca desde 2007 al 2016. Se analiza la relación entre inclusión financiera y crecimiento económico, así como la relación entre estabilidad financiera y crecimiento económico empleando el método de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO) con efectos fijos de dos vías. Así mismo, como prueba de robustez se emplea el Método Generalizado de Momentos (GMM) con efectos fijos de dos vías. Además, se realiza la prueba de causalidad de Granger con el método de datos apilados desarrollado por Dumitrescu y Hurlin (2012). Los resultados sugieren la existencia de un nexo negativo tanto para la relación entre inclusión financiera y crecimiento económico, así como para la relación entre estabilidad financiera y crecimiento económico. Los resultados de la prueba de causalidad exhiben que la relación se extiende desde las variables de inclusión financiera hacia el crecimiento económico. Mientras que la relación para las variables de estabilidad se extiende desde el crecimiento económico hacia estas variables.
Empleo informal: una explicación desde la demanda
Authors: Casarreal Jorge , Cruz Moritz
Published: January 2021

Este artículo presenta una explicación desde la demanda del empleo informal. Nuestra propuesta sostiene que es la desindustrialización prematura que aqueja a las economías en desarrollo la causa del empleo informal. Para soportar el argumento teórico, presentamos evidencia empírica usando datos de un grupo de economías de América Latina. Los resultados de nuestra estimación de panel indican que en efecto la desindustrialización prematura incide en el empleo informal. Para reducirlo, por lo tanto, una política enfocada a la re-industrialización debe ser implementada.
Evaluación por simulación dinámica del comportamiento térmico en una casa interés social con la incorporación de estrategias de arquitectura bioclimática en Guanajuato, México

Published: January 2021

La climatización electromecánica en edificaciones busca mantener confort térmico para sus ocupantes, sin embargo, este tipo de acondicionamiento representa el 40 % del consumo total de energía, generando impacto económico y ambiental ya que los combustibles fósiles son la principal fuente de energía. Para disminuir el uso del acondicionamiento electromecánico, es posible aprovechar las condiciones climáticas de la región en el diseño arquitectónico. Debido a la poca cantidad de trabajos que sustenten cuantitativamente las medidas orientadas a obtener mejoras en el comportamiento térmico de las viviendas y el crecimiento de la construcción en serie en México, en el presente trabajo se evaluó una propuesta de arquitectura bioclimática para una vivienda de interés social típica en Guanajuato, México; modificando la inercia térmica de los materiales, la absorción y emisividad de la superficie (protección solar), así como un reacomodo de las superficies acristaladas (calentamiento solar pasivo). La evaluación energética se realizó mediante simulación dinámica en la plataforma OpenStudio, se consideró las condiciones climáticas del lugar, geometría de la edificación, propiedades de los materiales, horario de ocupación y cargas térmicas. Para fijar las variables de diseño de la propuesta se realizó una comparativa de la energía requerida por acondicionamiento electromecánico, para mantener la temperatura entre 20°C y 27°C. Se obtuvieron como resultados una reducción del 77% de energía necesaria para el acondicionamiento térmico anual, además de tener una temperatura más estable en el trascurso del día y más equilibrada en los diferentes espacios que la componen.
On the measure of land subsidence throughout DEM and orthomosaics using GPS and UAV
Authors: Galeana Pérez Victor Manuel , Chávez Alegría Omar , Medellín Aguilar Gerardo
Published: January 2021

Today, topography is an essential part for the construction of civil works in Mexico and in the world, obtaining it has become a complicated task due to the large areas to be built, the difficult access that puts the integrity of individuals at risk; and the high requirement of personnel for the tasks. Currently, photogrammetry using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been potentiated due to the infinity of uses, autonomy and little demand for resources, to carry out tasks in short times. Furthermore, the topography was, until some years ago, quasi-static, however due to the alteration generated by human activities it has been transformed into a dynamic activity. This work presents the procedures to carry out a topographic survey in the Querétaro valley, in an area called “El Ensueño”, it has had a subsidence fault for years, and has been in constant movement, causing considerable damage to infrastructure. . The present study reveals for the first time an orthomosaic and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the study site, for a survey with UAV it is necessary to use Ground Control Points (GCP), in order to correct the DEM by orthorectification of the images obtained during the flight by means of UAV. The results obtained show a total error in centimeters of 3.33 and image pixels in 0.311, both in the X, Y and Z space, which represent an acceptable error considering that the latter must be less than 0.6 pixels, so Therefore, the alignment of the images and measurement by GPS were performed correctly during the processing. Furthermore, the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) shows dramatic differences between one side and the other of the fault zone, which may indicate that this is a perfect tool to distinguish particular affected areas with a quick and more accurate method

The Harmonised Shari’ah and Human Rights on LGBT
Authors: Khuluq Muhammad Khusnul
Published: January 2021

This article has an objective to analyse the phenomenon of LGBT through the lens of harmonisation between sharī’ah and human rights. Although in general the LGBT groups have faced challenging realities of discrimination and it encourages them to become minority and vulnerable groups, they are human being who have dignity. It means their dignity must be respected and protected. In dealing with this issue, some scholars have covered it either via the perspective of sharī’ah or human rights. However, the study that has focused on the issue using the perspective of harmonic elaboration between sharī’a and human rights has remained in absence. Accordingly, this article will consider the issue using the perspective and the approach of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah. This article argues that what sharī’a and human rights believe in relation to human dignity is not contradictory. Consequently, it is important to reconstruct the understanding of Islamic jurisprudence that is more humanistic. Therefore, in the context of LGBT, sharī’a and human rights can be united in a harmonious perspective.
The Maqāṣid Analysis on the Nafkah Iddah of Divorce Lawsuit in the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) Article 149 (b) and the Supreme Court Verdict Number 137/K/AG/2007
Authors: Julia Julia
Published: January 2021

This article examines the nafkah iddah of divorce lawsuit in the Islamic Law Compilation (KHI) Article 149 (b) and the verdict issued by the Supreme Court Number 137/K/AG/2007. It also analyses their legal basis based on the Jasser Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach concerning the preservation of life and treasure. The primariy objective of this article is to find the main differences between the KHI and the Verdict in determining the nafkah iddah of divorce suit. Although some scholars have concerned about the case of nafkah iddah, the Jasser Auda’s maqāṣid al-sharī’ah approach seems to be rare to be dealt with the case. Accordingly, the maqāṣidi approach will be mainly utilised in order to consider the effectiveness of both the KHI and the Verdict. This article finds that the KHI states that a wife who applies for a divorce is considered disloyal. As a consequence, she is undeserving of receiving nafkah iddah. The additional finding is that the Verdict decides that in the case of the divorce filled by the ex-wife, it brings a responsibility for the former husband to pay the nafkah iddah. From the perspective of maqāṣid al-sharī’ah, this article argues that the implementation of the Verdict gains better benefit rather than the KHI, because the legal basis evolved for the nafkah iddah of divorce suit is in line with the maqāṣid principles of the preservation of life and property. In the particular case, the principles tend to protect the ex-wife’s safety and welfare after the divorce.

Objetivo: Verificación del desempeño de las pruebas serológicas rápidas utilizadas en el departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. Métodos: Estudio analitico, de corte transversal. Incluyó muestras de sueros de trabajadores de la salud de la ciudad de Pereira, quienes tuvieron sospecha clínica y epidemiológica por SARS-CoV-2. El procesamiento y validación de las pruebas fue realizado en las instalaciones de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. Se calculó sensibilidad y especificidad de las pruebas rápidas serológicas IgM/IgG usando como prueba de oro la RT-PCR. Resultados: Se incluyeron las muestras de 144 profesionales de la salud. Las pruebas serológicas rápidas evidenciaron ser útiles para identificar o descartar la presencia de anticuerpos IgM e IgG, especialmente en pacientes sintomáticos, en quienes el inicio de los síntomas es superior a 11 días. Discusión: El uso de pruebas rápidas se encuentra en aumento, no solo por la rapidez de sus resultados, sino también por los bajos costos asociados y la necesidad de identificar pacientes no susceptibles, quienes deben priorizar su retorno a actividades laborales en comunidad como parte de la reactivación económica de Colombia. Es necesario confirmar el desempeño de la prueba para aumentar la probabilidad de una adecuada clasificación antes de proceder a su uso rutinario.

Authors: Sánchez Pineda Magali Lizbeth
Published: January 2021

La Penitenciaría del Estado de Michoacán no sólo fue un lugar de corrección, tambié fue un mecanismo político, administrativo y reglamentario utilizado para sancionar yerradicar el crimen de la sociedad michoacana. Mediante la razón y el discurso liberal, se propuso que el castigo fuese visto desde una perspectiva más humana, en la cual la reclusión en una prisión y la pérdida de la libertad se posicionaron como los elementos centrales de esta propuesta, provocando que el estado fuese el encargado de proteger, reeducar y reintegrar al trasgresor en la sociedad.
El retorno a lo visual en el estudio de documentos cartográficos: análisis de un plano para la gobernación de Paraguay a mediados del siglo XVII
Authors: Pensa Laura
Published: January 2021

El presente trabajo reúne los principales aportes de los estudios visuales al estudio de la cartografía, así como sus relaciones con la cartografía crítica y los estudios coloniales. A partir de una crítica al método harliano, se destacan las posibilidades de emplear una metodología híbrida en el estudio de estos documentos, que incorpore sus aspectos visuales y textuales. Mediante el análisis de un plano de la gobernación del Paraguay de mediados del siglo XVII, se busca hacer una aproximación a estos documentos que pueda dar cuenta no solo de su contenido textual o visual, sino del régimen de visibilidad colonial del que formaron parte y del lugar que este régimen asignó a grupos indígenas y no indígenas.
