Authors: Saqib Najm Us , Amir Muhammad , Khan Amjad Hayat , Bashir Yasmeen , Khan Fazlullah
Published: December 2022

Background: Since the 1980s, Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been used as the "gold standard" for glycemic control and as a predictor of diabetes complications. HbA1c has become a solid biomarker for diagnosis and prediction of diabetes, because of the meaningful information offered by a single HbA1c test. It is also helpful in the treatment of pre-diabetes and other kinds of diabetes. Objective: To reveal sensitivity of HbA1c in contrast to other diabetes diagnostic tests, to report the performance, effectiveness and validity of HbA1c test in the diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. To find out the awareness rate of significance of HbA1c test in diabetic monitoring. Material & Methodology: A cross-sectional research was conducted through a random sample approach, during the months of September and December of 2021. A sample size of 40 patients and health professionals including technologist and Doctor were taken. The data was gathered through a pre-validated research questionnaire among patients and health workers in major hospitals of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Data was analyzed through Statistical Package for the Social Science(SPSS) software version 22. Result: The results found that 85% patients are agree with the significance of HbA1c test in diabetic monitoring while 15% patients are disagreeing with the significance of HbA1c test in diabetic monitoring. The results also reveal that 47% health professional feel that HbA1c test has better diagnostic accuracy than other diabetes diagnostic tests, 22% believe it is more dependable than other glucose tests, and 30% believe it is successful in diabetes mellitus prognosis. Conclusion: It was determined that in assessing and managing diabetes mellitus HbA1c test is considered one of the significant diagnostic test. It has the capacity to recall the previous three months' cumulative history of Glycosylated hemoglobin. The accuracy, sensitivity and reliability of HbA1c test is very high and clear in contrast to other blood glucose diagnostic tests. HbA1c test is more accurate than both a fasting glucose test and random glucose test. Moreover, HbA1c test does not need any fasting it perform any time.

DEL PRINCIPIO ÉTICO DE INTEGRIDAD A LA ÉTICA COMPLEJA: UN ABORDAJE A PARTIR DE LOS DESCRIPTORES DEL CÓDIGO PROFESIONAL IFAC E INTOSAI
Authors: Cano sandra
Published: December 2022

El contenido de las Normas Internacionales de Auditoría y del Manual del Código de Ética para Profesionales de la Contabilidad, contempla una significativa fundamentación doctrinal y deontológica, la cual aunque pudiera representar solo compendios de conceptos de carácter universal elevados a normas, códigos y principios, incorpora obligaciones morales en la praxis del profesional de la contabilidad; dicho de otro modo, incorpora la práctica contable bajo un enfoque de ética vinculada al “ser” filosófico. De allí, el objetivo de este artículo es examinar a partir de los descriptores presentes en el principio de integridad previsto en las citadas normas, la correspondencia de tal principio con la perspectiva de la ética compleja. Para ello, se acudió a la técnica de la hermenéutica, la cual permitió llegar a concluir que el principio de integridad en el concepto de Ética compleja, es la unión de otros principios considerados como un todo.

Authors: Blanco Chavez Miguel Enrique
Published: December 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar las ecuaciones de correlación del índice de erosividad de la lluvia con el índice modificado de Fournier, a escala mensual, en las estaciones meteorológicas Aeropuerto de Managua y Rivas de la región del Pacifico y Jinotega y Juigalpa de la región Central del país. El conocimiento de los valores de erosividad de la lluvia en diferentes zonas geográficas del país permitirá  utilizar el método RUSLE para hacer estimaciones de erosión hídrica en las cuencas hidrográficas, y evaluar escenarios de erosión con cambios futuros de uso del suelo. Se utilizaron los pluviogramas de las tormentas de las estaciones para calcular los índices de erosividad con la expresión propuesta por Wischmeier. Se utilizaron los datos mensuales de precipitación para calcular el índice modificado de Fournier. Se obtuvieron ecuaciones lineales de correlación de los valores mensuales de erosividad de la lluvia y el índice modificado de Fournier con un coeficiente de determinación mayor que 0.70. Se evaluó la bondad del ajuste de las ecuaciones de correlación mediante las parámetros coeficiente de determinación (r2), porcentaje de sesgo PBIAS y raíz del error cuadrático medio RMSE, resultando que las ecuaciones de correlación determinadas son buenas para estimar el índice de erosividad de la lluvia a escala mensual. Las ecuaciones podrían ser utilizadas en los meses de mayo a octubre, cuando se presentan las lluvias significativas en la zona estudiada.

Fitopatógenos habitantes ou transeuntes do solo na Amazônia
Authors: Gasparotto Luadir
Published: December 2022

A literatura está repleta de exemplos de patógenos habitantes ou transeuntes do solo, devastadores, que inviabilizam a exploração comercial de várias culturas na região amazônica, se medidas de controle não forem adotadas. Há uma série desses patógenos de plantas extremamente severos: os que afetam o sistema radicular, induzindo murcha vascular ou podridão; os que, apesar de serem do solo, afetam a parte aérea causando desfolhamentos sucessivos, seca descendente dos galhos e até a morte das plantas; e aqueles que afetam frutos e amêndoas. As doenças radiculares causam altos prejuízos, pois na maioria das vezes não existem medidas eficientes para controlar os patógenos. A murcha-bacteriana, que afeta plantas da família Solanaceae, como tomateiro e pimentão, e o moko da bananeira são causados pela bactéria Ralstonia solanacearum raças 1 e 2, respectivamente. As fusarioses da bananeira, da palma-de-óleo ou dendezeiro, da pimenteira-do-reino e da Acacia mangium, são induzidas, respectivamente, por Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, F. oxysporum f.sp. elaedis, F. oxysporum f.sp. piperis e F. solani. Entre os patógenos habitantes do solo que afetam a parte aérea das plantas destacam-se Thanatephorus cucumeris, prejudicando dezenas de espécies, como seringueira, citrus, mogno, feijoeiro e feijão-caupi; Sclerotium coffeicola, causador de manchas foliares e desfolhamento em diversas fruteiras. Além desses, citam-se os fungos Phytophthora dechsleri, responsável pela podridão-mole da mandioca, Phytophthora palmivora, que afeta a pupunheira, e Lasiodiplodia theobromae, responsável pelo tombamento de mudas e por podridões do caule de diversas espécies. Há os fungos destruidores do sistema radicular de árvores, como Ganoderma philippii, Rigidoporus lignosus e Phellinus noxius, e os nematoides, como Meloidogyne exigua, M. incognita e M. javanica afetando o sistema radicular da seringueira, e Radopholus similis, extremamente severo na cultura da bananeira. As amêndoas da castanheira-do-brasil sofrem grande incidência de fungos aflatoxigênicos que sobrevivem no solo, notadamente Aspergillus flavus e A. parasiticus.

Published: December 2022

Os diversos córregos existentes no perímetro urbano do município de Montes Claros, MG, foram sendo utilizados de forma inadequada, para lançamento de esgotos e descarte inadequado de resíduos sólidos, cumulando em perda da qualidade da água, morte da vida aquática e contaminação do ambiente. O objetivo com este trabalho foi avaliar os impactos ambientais causados pela urbanização da bacia hidrográfica do córrego Melancias, no município de Montes Claros-MG, por meio da identificação e caracterização dos impactos ambientais, para posterior proposição de medidas mitigadoras para sua recuperação e preservação. Os métodos utilizados para a avaliação dos impactos ambientais foram Ad Hoc, Matrizes de Interação e as Redes de Interação. As visitas realizadas no local e a aplicação dos métodos de avaliação de impacto ambiental, possibilitaram realizar a identificação e a caracterização dos impactos, além de proporcionar a avaliação destes. Devido ao crescimento populacional e ao processo de urbanização que essa microbacia sofre, houve a predominância de impactos negativos, sendo os mais severos o desmatamento, o extrativismo ilegal e o descarte inadequado de resíduos sólidos. Foram propostas medidas mitigadoras, medidas compensatórias e medidas potencializadoras para os impactos ambientais observados. Foi possível concluir que, grande parte dos impactos negativos se deu no meio biótico, enquanto a predominância de impactos positivos ocorreu no meio antrópico.
El perdón y la resiliencia, puntos claves para la reconciliación en mujeres afro, víctimas del conflicto armado en el Municipio de Quibdó, Chocó
Authors: Ibarra Caipe Sandra
Published: December 2022

El objetivo de este estudio fue entender qué factores conllevaron a la mujer afro víctima del conflicto armado del municipio de Quibdó, Chocó a ser resilientes y aceptar la reconciliación a pesar del daño causado tanto a ellas, como a sus familias, visualizando así qué factores incidieron para que estas mujeres víctimas aceptaran la reconciliación. 
Para el desarrollo de este trabajo se efectuó la búsqueda de información en bases de datos como Springer, Sciencedirect, Scielo y Google Académico, normatividad para la protección de la mujer en Colombia, así como documentos oficiales e informes procedente de la Corte Constitucional Colombiana, el Centro Nacional de Memoria Histórica, la Red Nacional de Información al servicio de Victimas, Naciones Unidas, MAPP/OEA, Amnistía Internacional, Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y Human Right Watch, entre otros, y posteriormente se realizó un análisis documental de cómo este ha producido efectos determinantes para la reconciliación en la mujer del municipio de Quibdó, Choco. 
Uno de los principales hallazgos muestra cómo el conflicto armado interno afecta a la mujer de una manera diferencial, a través de mecanismos o instrumentos de guerra que responden a características patriarcales propias de la sociedad colombiana. Esto trae como consecuencia el desarrollo de una serie de hechos victimizantes, tales como el abuso sexual, la esclavitud sexual, la muerte, la tortura, los embarazos y abortos forzosos, el desplazamiento, la violencia física y psicológica, entre otros. Estos hechos han sido utilizados como método de guerra por parte de los grupos armados al margen de la Ley y por ciertos sectores de la fuerza pública, de manera premeditada y sistemática.

Composite landslide in the dynamic alpine conditions: a case study of Urbas landslide
Authors: ŠEGINA Ela , JEMEC AUFLIČ Mateja , ZUPAN Matija , JEŽ Jernej , PETERNEL Tina
Published: December 2022

The alpine environment is characterized by complex geology, high-energy terrain, deeply incised river valleys with high erosional potential, extreme weather conditions and dynamic geomorphic processes. Such settings provide favourable conditions for the formation of composite landslides rather than individual slope mass movement phenomena. As an example, we present the kinematics of the composite landslide Urbas in the North of Slovenia which developed in the complex geological and morphological settings characteristic of the alpine environment. The research combines several monitoring techniques and involves the integration of both surface and subsurface displacements measured in the landslide area. The results indicate that the composite sliding process consists of several simultaneous and interrelated types of movements occurring in different segments of the unstable mass that are governed by different mechanisms of displacements, such as rockfall, sliding and debris flow. The kinematic characteristics of a deep-seated landslide that formed in such conditions vary spatially, but is rather homogenuous vertically, indicating translational type of movement. Spatial kinematic heterogeneity is primarily related to the diverse terrain topography, reflecting in different displacement trends. Based on the revealed kinematic proprieties of the sliding material, the sediment discharge illustrates the sliding material balance which estimates the volume of the retaining material that represents the potential for slope mass movement events of larger scales.
Biblioterapi i ett litteraturvetenskapligt perspektiv

Bibliotherapy from a Literary Perspective

This article aims to introduce and discuss the phenomenon of bibliotherapy in the context of comparative literature in Sweden. It opens with an introduction to the field of bibliotheraphy, defining this as the use of books to aid people in their healing processes. The article discusses this definition, and provides a short historical overview of the treatment of bibliotheraphy, placing particular focus on ”interactive” bibliotheraphy which, in many respects, has become the model of bibliotherapeutic intervention today.

Primarily, however, this article explores how a literary perspective could contribute to the research on bibliotheraphy. Firstly, I consider a variety of different studies and their views on bibliotheraphy in order to make clear the values and the perspectives on literature underpinning much of the research in the field. Secondly, I examine the different conceptions of the reader and the reading process expressed in the research on bibliotheraphy in relation to reader-response criticism. Among other things, the model of the bibliotherapeutical reading process used in the school of interactive bibliotheraphy is discussed. This model is shown to be highly normative when it comes to how one can read in order to be aided in the healing process. In conclusion, the article raises questions concerning how other views on bibliotheraphy might produce alternative models of reading.

Governing Police Discretion Through a Craft Learning Model

In this article, we build on some of our previous empirical research to develop the value, logic and nature of the craft learning model, as an alternative to the dominant, administrative rulemaking paradigm for governing patrol officer discretion. We do this by conceptualizing the craft model in relation to Egon Bittner’s observations on two distinct mechanisms of police organization and control: legality and workmanship. Second, we illustrate the largely overlooked potential of body-worn cameras for learning about and advancing craft knowledge and skills. And third, we address three challenges to what we propose and consider how these might be mitigated or overcome: (1) resistance from the police culture; (2) the limited role of first-line supervisors; and (3) the current lack of community participation in guiding street-level decision-making. Our overarching purpose is to encourage advocates of police reform to explore new models that account for the complex technical and normative dimensions of everyday policing and facilitate more reasoned, transparent and principled decision-making on the front lines.
Todos marcharon hacia el bosque. El virtuoso ejercicio de gestionar la naturaleza en la Edad Moderna
Authors: Versteegen Gijs , Guillén Berrendero José Antonio
Published: December 2022

El texto que presentamos ofrece un análisis de la relación del hombre con la naturaleza durante la Edad Moderna. Para ello partimos de considerar que la naturaleza presenta una doble dimensión: es espacio de aprovisionamiento y escenario de reflexión. Estas dos características imprimen a la relación del hombre con el medio y el paisaje una visión moral, ética y otra económica. Por ello, filósofos, arbitristas, moralistas e historiadores no cejaron en sus esfuerzos por referirse al medio natural y reflexionar sobre la actitud del ser humano ante él. Este trabajo, presentado a modo de díptico, pretende ofrecer una serie de reflexiones generales sobre este hecho para luego adentrarse en un estudio más concreto mediante una aproximación al Criticón de Baltasar Gracián y su explicación sobre la simbiótica relación entre ser humano y naturaleza.
La gestión de los recursos forestales en la dehesa de Zacatena durante el siglo XVII y el cruce de intereses entre la Corte y el campo
Authors: Moreno Díaz del Campo Francisco J.
Published: December 2022

Situada en la Mancha, la Real Dehesa de Zacatena (actualmente Parque Nacional de Las Tablas de Daimiel) fue un lugar muy apreciado por la Monarquía Hispánica. Su alto potencial económico provocó que desde fechas muy tempranas gozase de una protección especial. Si en la Edad Media fue acotada y preservada por la Orden de Calatrava, durante los siglos modernos fue la propia Corona quien la mantuvo especialmente vigilada. Su riqueza procedía de sus extensos pastos, pero también de su enorme patrimonio forestal. Se creó un sistema de vigilancia y gobierno que intentó mantener aquellos recursos a salvo de quienes querían aprovecharse ilícitamente de ellos. Este artículo examina cómo se cuidó la dehesa durante el siglo XVII y quiénes protagonizaron los conflictos generados por su aprovechamiento. Se concluye que aquel espacio protegido fue sometido a una presión añadida como consecuencia de los intereses cortesanos.

Güç sistemlerinde çoklu SVC kullanımı ile statik gerilim kararlılığının iyileştirilmesi
Authors: DÖŞOĞLU Mehmet Kenan , KAYMAZ Enes , DEMİRBAŞ Muhammet
Published: December 2022

Günümüzde Esnek AC İletim Sistemleri (FACTS) elemanları yük merkezlerinde yerel olarak reaktif güç desteği sağlamakta ve dolayısıyla bara gerilimleri güvenli çalışma sınırları içinde tutmaktadır. Özellikle de paralel FACTS cihazlarının tekli kullanımı yüklenme durumlarına göre sistemin güvenli çalışma durumlarını iyileştiremeyebilir. Bu yüzden paralel FACTS cihazlarının hem yüksek maliyetlerinden kaçınmak hem de sistemdeki uygun yerlerinin tespit edilmesi önemli bir konu olmaktadır. Bunun için paralel FACTS cihazlarından birisi olan Statik Var Kompanzatör (SVC) kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 3 makinalı 9 baralı güç sisteminde SVC’nin farklı yük baralarında çoklu kullanılması ile çok makinalı sistemin maksimum yüklenme parametresi üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Dahası bara gerilim profilleri ve aktif-reaktif güç üzerindeki değişimleri detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, üç analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bunlar SVC’nin olmadığı durum, SVC’nin tekli kullanıldığı durum ve SVC’nin çoklu kullanıldığı durumlardır. Bu benzetim çalışması için Güç Sistemleri Analizi Programı (PSAT) tercih edilmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda çoklu SVC kullanımının diğerlerine göre maksimum yüklenme parametresi değerini arttırdığı, bara gerilim profillerini ve aktif-reaktif güç değişimlerini iyileştirdiği görülmüştür.
Hotel histories of apartheid South Africa: the emergence and expansion of the Southern Sun Hotel Group c. 1960–1983
Authors: Rogerson Christian M. , Rogerson Jayne M.
Published: December 2022

Although hotels are at the heart of the international tourism economy, research on hotels constitutes only a minor theme in tourism scholarship. This article addresses the essential present-mindedness of tourism studies. More specifically, through archival documentary sources, it seeks to analyse the emergence and expansion of one leading hotel group, Southern Sun Hotels, in the context of the changing and challenging business environment for tourism development of apartheid South Africa. The reference period for this investigation marks the growing isolation of South Africa in the international community and the beginnings of boycotts and sanctions. The article represents a contribution to scholarship on hotel histories and to the growing literature devoted to the impact of sanctions on the tourism industry and tourism businesses. It is argued that the rise and expansion of Southern Sun hotels was facilitated by the business environment, which was fostered by the apartheid state in the context of South Africa’s growing international isolation and the onset of sanctions. Following Southern Sun’s initial expansion in leisure and business hotels an important new chapter opened with the apartheid policy of Bantustan development and the opening of casino-resorts by Southern Sun.

Covid-19: Medicine and Colonialism, Past and Present
Authors: Green Toby
Published: December 2022

This essay begins in the past, with the hope of developing a different way of thinking through the transformations of the present. Many commentators and media outlets have referred to the era of the Covid-19 pandemic as ‘unprecedented’, but there is nothing unprecedented about a pandemic. What seem unprecedented are the measures which have been taken to control the public, measures that have been implemented via a series of states of emergency: the exercise of medical power through the vehicle of the neoliberal state did lead to a pattern of state and society which was unprecedented in democratic states. On the other hand, and as I will argue in this essay, this relationship was certainly not unprecedented when it came to the history of the Western state in Africa. In fact, when we take the perspective of medical history and its relationship with colonial power, we can historicise more easily the transformations which have taken place during the Covid-19 pandemic.

DIMENSIONS OF THE ROMANIAN EDUCATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
Authors: BADEA MIHAELA , TUDORACHE GINA-FLORENTINA
Published: December 2022

Being a phenomenon of essential importance in the evolution of society, education has been the field of expertise of countless researchers in the field of educational sciences. Briefly, it can be stated that education is a social phenomenon that involves an endless chain of actions aimed at transmitting knowledge and life experiences from one generation to another in order to complete the harmonious development and active social integration of new generations. Since contemporary society is under the impact of globalization, education takes on new dimensions whose effects leave a considerable mark on the teaching principles and, implicitly, on the educational policies and paradigms. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to emphasize the dimensions of the Romanian education system, since it rallied to the European educational policies, in an attempt to implement relevant constructivist curricular changes.

HOW FUTURE TEACHERS FOR PRESCHOOL AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNDERSTAND AND USE INQUIRY TEACHING AND LEARNING?
Authors: POP CRISTINA FLORINA , CIASCAI LILIANA
Published: December 2022

Inquiry-based learning is considered a learning framework valued by researchers but less used by teachers, despite the fact that it has been promoted since the mid-19th century. Teaching by investigation includes methodological approaches specific to scientific inquiry, such as asking questions, documenting, testing personal ideas, solving problems, and concluding. There is no single framework for teaching by investigation, the inquiry approach being modeled by practitioners according to the proposed goals. The aim of this study is to investigate how future teachers for elementary and preschool education, involved in a distance training, design an inquiry-based learning model. The topics studied were left to the students' choice. The sampling was convenient, with 124 subjects participating in the research. The tool used in the research was an inquiry-based learning activity analysis grid. The obtained results show that the steps of formulating the assumption / hypothesis and of designing the testing of hypothesis are the most deficient. Participants face difficulties in formulating hypotheses and in substantiating them on the results of primary documentation or in correlating them with research questions. Furthermore, the testing is not correlated with the assumption or hypothesis made.
ORTHODOX EDUCATION AT CHURCH AND SCHOOL: TRAINING IN VALUES AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Authors: TONEVA VELINA
Published: December 2022

Research on contemporary innovative pedagogical practices of Bulgarian parochial education relies on insufficient and inconsistent data. Every church community has responsibility and system of teaching its parish Orthodox values with regard of human rights. Church instruction of children, youth, and adults is not a process of provoking anything incompatible with human rights and social peace. Nevertheless, critical circumstances in last several years demonstrated that such tendencies can appear, when both flocks and pastors are under enormous pressure. Still, in my dissertation we have chosen methodologically not to focus on any negative aspects of the problems of Bulgarian Orthodox schooling and catechetic instruction at churches during last several decades. Scholarly objectiveness also requires that we are aware of obstacles, and stay optimistic, adequate, reflexive, analytical, and systematic, oriented to the future and the better, according to values, and keep building good perspectives and relations. Human rights defence can only support our church subculture within traditional local culture.
