Published: June 2021

This research allows to have an overview of the different technologies that can be used to benefit people with visual disabilities. In the association "Sentir con los ojos del corazón" located in Tehuacán, Puebla, México, people with visual disabilities are served who do not have the technological tools available to understand their environment, such as restaurant menus, signs on doors, reading a book and any setting that contains a text, making life difficult in a world where most texts are oriented towards visual people. There are few applications for people with visual disabilities that allow them to improve their lives in the different areas in which they operate. Therefore, it is proposed to design a mobile application that interacts with a virtual assistant to translate the images into text to speech through optical character recognition (OCR), allowing them to function in different educational, work, social environments, among others. This project allows the Inclusion of people with visual disabilities to improve the quality of life using applications for mobile devices and to be self-sufficient in their daily life, later managing to translate in different languages, with different intensities and tone of voice, using different platforms.
El conocimiento generado a partir de la aplicación de un proceso de diagnóstico por estudiantes normalistas en escuelas de educación primaria: la relación práctica profesional e investigación educativa
Authors: Chapa-Chapa Mireya
Published: June 2021

The transformation of mexican escuelas normales in institutions of higher education in which educational research is a substantive activity is one of the current requirements to the formation of elementary education teachers (INEE, 2015). This study represents an initial effort to make truth this premise and describes the results of a systematization and analysis process of the diagnostic process made as part of the course Trabajo docente e innovación, which is part of the 5º semester of the Bachelor degree of Elementary Education. This process generated knowledge in two ways: the skills brought into play by student teachers as well as obtaining an overview of the status of 24 groups of elementary education in reading and problem solving, among others. The study is based on a literature review that considers the training course of professional practice in teacher education, diagnostic and innovation concepts and the educational model of the Plan 2012 for the initial training of elementary school teachers. From qualitative methodology for analyzing the results, the study concludes with the idea that educational research has an important role as a strategy for improvement and opens the possibility of starting a new era in the history of teacher education in Mexico.
Resiliency: It Goes Beyond the Hair
Authors:   American University of Sharjah, Isabel Oliver María
Published: June 2021

In the January article of The Guardian News ‘How Hurricane Maria forced Puerto Ricans to change their hair’, author Norbert Figueroa reflects on the devastating effects of the category four storm in the US territory. Besides the aftermath caused by floodwaters, massive electric shortage, and structural damages, Figueroa revealed how Hurricane Maria forced adaptations to everyday life, including the way Puerto Ricans styled their hair. Extreme conditions of heat and humidity, exacerbated by the lack of electric power, lead to the acceptance of natural hairdos, to the creation of sidewalk barber shops, and to the formalization of an underground economy where haircuts in the form of currency, were exchanged for power generators. Figueroa’s simple but complex observation is critical in the revelation of creative self-organizing assemblages at the face of concealed realities. If the simple act of hair restructuring convokes taxonomical categorizations, ingenious adaptabilities, spatial re-conceptualizations, and the creation of new underground economies, why isn’t architecture transcending its heteronomous condition to achieve ‘resilient’ solutions? If resilience is defined as ‘the ability of objects to spring back into shape’ after being deformed,’ does it exclude the notion of ‘predictability’? This paper does not bring to the fore the discursivity that the resilient discourse entails, but it is an attempt to question its interpretations and trivial meanings within a ‘utopian’ model that fails to come to terms with the constitution of the physical realm.
Planning from Within and Alongside Informal Urban Metabolism: A Multi-agent Approach to Adaptive Masterplanning
Authors:   Singapore University of Technology and Design, Patt Trevor Ryan
Published: June 2021

This paper describes a possible adaptive approach to redevelopment planning in Guangzhou’s urban villages that taps into the material processes of an existing metabolism. Rather than attempting to control an entire plan, this approach sets in motion a continuous swarm of random walks within a multiagent simulation, each agent analysing partial fragments of the urban fabric as they move. The various analyses of the agents are aggregated and form a fuzzy picture of the current situation from which small, punctual interventions (new pedestrian passageways, small public spaces, etc.) can be proposed. Such proposals are paired with reconstruction methods already occurring throughout the village in order not to disrupt the unique character of the urban fabric and to allow the model to engage with the ongoing sociomaterial practices within the village. Prominent among these is a cycle of recycling material from demolished buildings into new structures. This approach differs from existing strategies that cannot incorporate informal practices and rely on representational tropes or importation of entirely new plans based on a complete demolition.
How the Knowledge Economy is Transforming the City from the Inside
Authors:   300.000 Km/s, Santamaria-Varas Mar , Martinez-Diez Pablo ,   300.000 Km/s
Published: June 2021

The knowledge economy is transforming our cities. The return of large companies’ headquarters to city centers and the proliferation of innovation districts in metropolises around the world represent a paradigm change. Today, scientific literature focuses on the metrics of innovative activity from the point of view of human capital and creative workers, global economic indicators, company characteristics, scientific production or urban implantation. However, there is a lack of research demonstrating that the knowledge economy has its own urban form that depends on the characteristics of the site – innovation activities are more likely to emerge in specific urban conditions. This paper aims to frame the emergence of innovative urban economy in an international context and describe a case study in the Barcelona metropolitan area, in line with the aforementioned hypothesis. Place matters in the leverage of innovation.
Disrupting the Digital: An Architecture of Parts
Authors:   University College London, Claypool Molly
Published: June 2021

The paper ascribes to a belief that architecture should be wholly digital – from the scale of the micron and particle to the brick, beam and building, from design to fabrication or construction. This embodies a fundamental and disruptive shift in architecture and design thinking that is unique to the project images included, enabling design to become more inclusive, participatory and open-source. Architecture that is wholly digital requires a radical rethinking of existing design and building practices. Thes projects described in this paper each develops a set of parts in relationship to a specific digital fabrication technology. These parts are defined as open-ended, universal and versatile building blocks, with a digital logic of connectivity. Each physical part has a malefemale connection which is the equivalent of the 0 and 1 in digital data. The design possibilities – or the way that parts can combine and aggregate – can be defined by the geometry and therefore, design agency, of the piece itself. This discrete method advances a theoretical argument about the nature of digital design as needing to be fundamentally discrete, and at the same time responding to ideas coming from open-source, distributed modes methods of production. Furthermore it responds to today’s housing crisis, providing for a more democratic and equitable framework for the production of housing. To think of architecture as wholly digital is to substantially disrupt the way that we think about design, authorship, ownership and process, as well as the building technologies and practices we use in contemporary architectural production.
Sutro’s Glass Palace: The Encapsulation of Public Space
Authors:   University of Texas at Austin, Feliz Nerea
Published: June 2021

This paper looks at the Sutro Baths (1894-96) in San Francisco as an early example of the interiorization of public space, as a pioneer “Fun Palace” and a stage of consumption. The Sutro Baths were an encapsulated microcosms, the delirious dream of an ambitious millionaire, engineer, and later major of San Francisco. Sutro, a German immigrant and entrepreneur managed to encapsulate the ocean inside a spectacular glass palace. The history of these baths is also a reflection of the problems of social inclusion and exclusion derived from the privatization of public space. Besides being the largest interior space for bathers in the world at the time, the Sutro Baths are considered to be the first water park: a strange amalgam of pools, burgers, a taxidermy collection, a wax museum and a winter garden aspiring to the hanging gardens of Babylon. The climatized atmosphere and the ocean were sheltered, altered, domesticated and commodified: “Always as balmy and summery as mid-June…Here’s is the spot to loaf in tropic comfort like a Fiji Islander. No nudist and practically no missionaries, but everything else is Number One Triple A Tropical Style!”1 Sutro inaugurated a new typology, the lineage of which portrays a history of attempts to construct autonomous spaces for immersion within altered physics that are internalized and that offer a new type of socio-natural form. Inside these hedonistic bubbles, public life is reduced to a collective leisure experience.
Lo económico como espacio de indeterminación o de conflicto
Authors:   , Giglio Julián
Published: June 2021

El presente representa la tesis para completar con los requisitos para la obtención del grado académico de Doctor en Filosofía. El mismo tiene por objeto el análisis del itinerario argumental presentado por Nicolás de Oresme en su tratado De moneta (c. 1355). Para ello, se atiende a una serie de factores históricos, sociales, económicos e intelectuales que configuran los antecedentes claves para su correcta ponderación. La tesis propone una interpretación del texto oresmiano diversa de la comunmente llevada adelante por la historiografía del pensamiento, la cual tiende a interpretar al mismo como una versión anticipatoria de algunos postulados de las teorías económicas posteriores. Antes bien, plantea que la obra debe comprenderse dentro de una tradición particular de tratados de carácter publicista marcados fuertemente por la impronta que configuró el reingreso de los textos de filosofía práctica aristotélica a partir de mediados del siglo XIII en el occidente latino, lo que permitió la reconstrucción de una scientia civilis autónoma.
Assessing Banking Profit Efficiency Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Authors: Hendrawan Riko , Nasution Azhar A.
Published: June 2021

Objective - The banking sector plays an important role in the Indonesian economy. The sustainability of the Indonesian banking sector will depend on the ability of every banking institution to maintain their competitiveness. Banking competitiveness is reflected in the level of efficiency of the banking system itself. Methodology/Technique - The purpose of this research is to assess the efficiency of 21 banks on the IDX between 2008-2017 using Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Findings - The findings of this research show a maximum efficiency score of 0.69 and the bank's average score among the research sample with the input and output allocation which can generate profits is 0.69 - 0.43 = 0.26. Overall, the banking sector in the Indonesian capital market between 2008 - 2017 recorded an efficiency score of 0.43. With this score, the banking system in the Indonesian capital market is still considered to be inefficient (0.43 <0.5). The results also demonstrate that the distribution of efficiency scores polarized in two poles. In the first pole, there were 11 banks that had a relatively good efficiency score (> = 0,5) and in the second pole, there were 10 banks with low efficiency scores (less than 0.5). Novelty – From the results, it can be concluded that several output variables, such as total loans (Y1) and securities (Y3), and input variables such as prices of labor (W2) and inflation (Z), have a significant effect on banking profits. Meanwhile, input variables such as the price of fund variables or the total funds (W1) and the price of physical capital were reflected in the depreciation of fixed assets (W3), and the output variables of income and interest (Y2) had an insignificant effect on bank profits. Type of Paper - Keywords: Bank Efficiency; IDX, Stochastic Frontier Analysis, Indonesia. JEL Classification: G10, G14, G19.
A Prophet or a Messenger
Authors: Ibrahim Zakyi
Published: June 2021

This paper probes specific questions in the Qur’an on various prophetic phenomenon (e.g., the purpose of revelation to prophets/messengers, the question of sending them, and the meaning of book/scripture) in order to ascertain whether or not the popular theories on their essence have valid Qur’anic support. It hypothesizes that the major conclusions on this subject have no solid Qur’anic evidence, that prophets and messengers are one and the same person, and that the Qur’an uses both terms interchangeably. Specific treatments of the questions (heavily dependent on the Qur’an) are preceded by their simple depiction in a diagram. Fresh attempts are made to redefine the terms prophet and messenger. I begin by reviewing the conclusions of al-Mawardi, al-Qadi ‘Iyad, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Abu Bakr al-Jaza’iri, all of whom have, in what came to be extremely popular concepts, distinguished between prophets and messengers. Following suit, the ideas of some leading western scholars on this subject (e.g., A. J. Winsinck, Joseph Horovitz, and Willem A. Bijlefeld) are also reviewed and assessed.
Constructing an Axis of Evil
Authors: Marandi Seyed Mohammad , Pirnajmuddin Hossein
Published: June 2021

A major phenomenon in recent decades within Orientalist discourse is the indigenous Orientalism that can be seen in the works of some scholars, writers, and thinkers. These writers are sometimes referred to as “captive minds,” “brown sahibs,” or what Malcolm X would call the “houseNegro.”1 Defined by their intellectual bondage and dependence on the West and, at times, likened to pop psychologists in their writings about the “natives,” their western counterparts believe them because, as native informants, they are seen to be in a position to produce authentic representations of the Oriental psyche. This paper offers a brief study of memoirs written by members of the Iranian diaspora in western countries over the past decade, particularly in the United States. Among these writers are Azar Nafisi, Marjane Satrapi, Roya Hakakian, Afshin Molavi, and Azadeh Moaveni, and others. A few books with thriller-like titles, such as Prisoner of Tehran (Marina Nemat: 2008) or Living in Hell (Ghazal Omid: 2005), will not be studied. In the eyes of many Iranian intellectuals, such writers are often viewed as examples of the Iranian intellectual comprador class or members of the gharbzadeh (a term made current by JalalAle-Ahmad, the Iranian critic and intellectual, that can be rendered in English as westernized, west-struck, or westomaniac), rather than as intellectuals.
Jihad in Islam
Authors: Raja Masood Ashraf
Published: June 2021

Using classical and current definitions of jihad and theories of globalization and neoliberalism, this essay discusses jihad and current jihadist movements within their reactive and responsive relationships to the material conditions of the Islamic world in general and of Pakistan in particular. Written in response to the essentialist claims of American neoconservative scholars, it suggests that jihadist militancy is not inherently Islamic, but rather a product of the material political conditions created by the Muslim colonial experience and perpetuated by the destabilizing influence of power politics, neoliberal capital, and the failure of the national promise of the postcolonial Muslim nation-states.

Authors: Gadade Satish , Sonawane Monali
Published: June 2021

Introduction: The incidence of burns, their treatment and rehabilitation process have a considerably marked effect on
children in both physical and psychological terms. Disruption of homeostatic and barrier functions leaves the underlying
tissues highly susceptible to infection. Such local infections, when left unchecked, can quickly result in systemic infection. In the present study
discussion on the common infections and the causative organism and its effect on the outcome of the burn patient studied. Aim and Objectives:
The aim of the study to nd out the common infection in burn injury wound and study the common factors precipitating complications in burn
injury. Materials and Methods: The Data was collected from 86 paediatric patients less than 15 years admitted in GMC, Miraj, Maharashtra
during the period from September 2014 to September 2016. The lab investigations were done periodically and as and when required, time to time
including Hemoglobin, complete blood count, blood sugar level, blood urea level, serum creatinine, HIV Status, hepatitis B status and weakly
wound swab culture were done. Observations and Results: In our study a total of 83 patients, almost 32(38.5%) of admitted patients had
developed infections and the most common developed infection in the burning patient was wound infection. The most common organism
isolated was Coagulase negative staphylococci 18 cases (21.7%) followed by klebsiella Pneumonia in 6 cases. No organisms seen in 51 cases.
The coagulase negative staph sensitive to cefoxitin and klebsiella Pneumonia sensitive to imipanum. Conclusion: Gram-negative bacteria were
the commonest pathogens followed by gram-positives and then fungi. In additional, MRSA was the commonest frequent gram-positive bacteria
detected and it is the major cause for infection. Fungal and Gram-negative colonization more associated with higher TBSA burnt and prolonged
hospitalization. We recommended that regular microbial surveillance of burn patient and hospital Environment microbiological surveillance of
potential nosocomial pathogens indicated inanimate environment of patients should be done to nd out the presences of our pathogens which are

Published: June 2021

The aim of cardiovascular nanomedicine- CVN is to reduce off-target toxicity issues with therapeutic selectivity to the
heart .The lipophilic barrier of the cellular membranes should be circumvented to deliver cargo inside the cell. Lipidbased NPs, which show low side effects and greater ability to passively accumulate at tissues with higher vascular permeability (enhanced
permeation rate), have been largely used since the earlier times of cardiovascular nanomedicine-CVN. Polymeric NPs, silica NPs, carbon
nanotubes, polymeric micelles, quantum dots, nanobers and nanocrystals represent other examples of nano-formulations for controlled drug
delivery. NP-loaded drugs are expected to be protected from systemic degradation, show reduced toxicity and immunogenicity, possess
ameliorated pharmacokinetics and increased half-life and exhibit increased bioavailability and precise bio distribution. Nanodrug formulations
are expected to enhance selective delivery to the site of interest and benet from a lower clearance from the body. Nanotechnology represents a
convergent discipline in which the margins separating research areas, such as chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics and engineering become
blurred with the much needed emergence of integrated science as a new discipline.
TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF ESMOLOL ON PERIOPERATIVE ANALGESIC REQUIREMENT IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA.
Authors: Bansal Asha , Bhagat Shiwani , PM Ajamal , Patel Durga Shankar
Published: June 2021

BACKGROUND: Esmolol is a short acting beta blocker. Esmolol is primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and
tachycardia during anesthesia, but some study claim that it can be used to modulate pain. The main objective of this study
was to evaluate the effect of esmolol on perioperative analgesic requirement in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.
METHOD: It was a prospective, randomized, double blind interventional study. Total number of participants was 60. The study was carried out
for a period of 3 years from 2015- 2017 in the department of Anesthesiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University.
Informed consent was taken from all the participants included in this study.
RESULT: In Group E, 27/30 patients had VAS score ≤ 3 compared to 8/30 patients in the Group C at 15 minutes. Similarly at 30 minutes and next
24 hours, all of 30 patients in Group E had VAS score of≤ 3 compared to 18/30 patients in Group C.
CONCLUSION: Esmolol decreases perioperative analgesic requirement and postoperative pain. The visual analogue score for pain assessment
was found to be signicantly lower in the esmolol group.
Facts and Anomalies to Keep in Perspective When Designing an Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ipe Navin
Published: June 2021

The design of any artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary pursuit that requires keeping within perspective, the various properties of matter and life in the known universe, while remaining cautious of biases and misconceptions that arise from the limitations of prior learning, available tools and sensory capabilities. This paper curates a vast collection of human knowledge gathered during the process of exploring and questioning the fundamentals of why the mechanisms that constitute life were built in specific ways, and re-questioning those facts using anomalies that sometimes contradict or expose errors in human assumptions of life and intelligence. A meta-analysis of such knowledge at a single glance also helps identify interesting patterns in various phenomena that can in-time, spur creative solutions, alter the direction of research, assist with intelligent inferences and hopefully result in the identification and creation of artificial intelligence.

Representaciones sociales sobre la narcoviolencia en jóvenes universitarios del Estado de México
Authors: Ibarra Espinosa Manuel Leonardo
Published: June 2021

La propuesta plantea la proximidad a un problema estructural de la sociedad mexicana: la narcoviolencia y sus formas de expresión más contundente encarnadas en diversos artefactos de concreción. En el contexto de estudio, la narcoviolencia y sus representaciones sociales tienen ciertas peculiaridades que se vislumbran cada vez más omnipresentes en los discursos y actos de los jóvenes. La metodología utilizada fue cualitativa, participativa, comprensiva e interpretativa, fundamentada en la técnica de entrevista a profundidad, la cual nos allegó al conocimiento directo de la realidad social del entrevistado, no mediado por definiciones conceptuales u operativas, ni filtrado por instrumentos de medida con alto grado de estructuración. Los resultados más notables se vinculan al conocimiento de las representaciones sociales de la corrupción, la prepotencia e impunidad, la cibernarcoviolencia como un artefacto tecnológico de concreción de miedo, la relación entre culto, religiosidad y ambigüedad moral y el narcotráfico, la desterritorialización y ruptura del sentido comunitario, entre otras.

What information is being acquired during the period of Quiet Eye? Comment on Vickers
Authors: Rodrigues Sérgio T. , Navarro Martina
Published: June 2021

Sports and athletes’ highest performance offer a fascinating scenario to investigate perceptual-motor expertise. The remarkable work of Joan Vickers has captured this opportunity and built a valuable experimental paradigm. Our commentary emphasizes what information is being acquired during the period of Quiet Eye (QE), capable to produce successful performance. First, an extended notion of visual system that includes posture is presented. It is suggested that QE would represent a collective postural effort (resulting from movements of eyes, head, trunk, and whole body) to acquire the relevant information available in the optic flow. Second, the contribution of neural structures and functioning for vision and attention is discussed. Models of neural networks of attention and two visual systems are described with respect to QE and some questions about action parameters and motor programs are raised.
Pola Integrasi antara Jawa dan Melayu-Bangka Belitung dalam Naskah Hikayat Raja Berekor
Authors: Wati Mira Setya , Buduroh Mamlahatun
Published: June 2021

This study discusses the pattern of integration between the Javanese and Malays of Bangka Belitung over the centuries. The main source of this study is the transliteration of a manuscript of the Hikayat Raja Berekor, ‘The Saga of the Tailed King coded ML 84, held in the National Library of Indonesia, by Moenawar (1979). In addition, additional sources are the Carita Bangka text which was transliterated by E.P. Wieringa (1990) and the oral literary work “Asal Mule Kejadian Pulau Belitong dan Riwayat Raje Beikor” based on the study by Sarman (2013). This study attempts to explain the relationship between the Javanese and the Bangka-Belitung Malays in a literary and historical framework. The study uses qualitative methods through library study techniques. In data processing, the study uses the principles of intertextual work and a literary sociology approach. Based on text analysis there is a link between Java and Bangka Belitung. The relationship is a sign of a pattern of social integration and interaction, manifested in cooperation in dealing with a common threat, in the form of marriage that unites the two groups. The study also reveals the existence of similarities and differences in individual texts, showing how these have been integrated culturally.
La clave cultural para el Directorio para la catequesis
Authors: Curró Salvatore
Published: June 2021

Este artículo intenta presentar cómo el Directorio para la catequesis (DC) aborda los desafíos culturales que plantea la situación actual a la evangelización y la catequesis. Para ello se sitúa en un primer apartado el DC en el marco de los últimos acontecimientos eclesiales que han marcado su renovación, así como el contexto cultural que ha motivado su cambio.

The normative regulation and problems of accounting of intangible assets in scientific institutions are considered. It is noted the introduction of modern accounting regulation in budgetary institutions only in 2015, which led to differences in the accounting of NA in scientific institutions.

The purpose of the article is to consider the example of scientific institutions of the NAS of Ukraine regulatory regulation of accounting for intangible assets and issues of its improvement. It is emphasized that the accounting of NA in scientific institutions is essential for the commercialization of intellectual property rights, while the main difficulties in the introduction of accounting for intangible assets for scientific institutions were associated with the lack of modern budget regulations for accounting. The main stages of implementation of accounting of intangible assets in scientific institutions are given. It is important to amend the Methodological Recommendations on Accounting of NA and NPBO 122 regarding the definition of the concept of «use» of intangible assets, as well as the costs to be taken into account when determining the value of NA created in the institution. The issue of accounting for research and development reports is problematic. The terminology used in the regulations also needs to be clarified.

Authors: Enríquez Lucrecia
Published: June 2021

El artículo estudia comparativamente la vida capitular del cabildo de la villa de Talca (Chile) mientras fue cabecera de corregimiento y de subdelegación durante el siglo XVIII. El objetivo es desentrañar en ambos períodos la relación del cabildo como cuerpo con corregidores y subdelegados, con el fin de analizar de qué manera ejerció su prerrogativa de cabecera. En particular, buscamos analizar si a partir de la creación de la subdelegación del Maule, el gobierno del cabildo de Talca quedó circunscrito al gobierno del casco urbano, perdiendo así su jurisdicción en la totalidad del partido.

Published: June 2021

Los Estudios de Impacto Económico en puertos son una herramienta muy extendida que empezaron a elaborarse en la década de los años 60 en Estados Unidos. Desde entonces, estos estudios han ido depurándose, eliminando algunas de sus limitaciones y restricciones y convergiendo hacia una metodología estándar que permiten realizar comparaciones entre los efectos de distintos puertos. El artículo analiza la evolución histórica de dichos estudios, indicando las diferentes variantes y sus limitaciones metodológicas y concluye con un resumen de los resultados obtenidos tanto a nivel internacional como en el caso particular del sistema portuario español. Se concluye el papel que tanto el tamaño del puerto como su estructura de tráficos tienen en los impactos que éste genera en términos de empleo, valor añadido y productividad.
