The Anti-Samaritan Attitude as Reflected in Rabbinic Midrashim
Authors: Lehnardt Andreas
Published: May 2021

Samaritans as a group within the ranges of ancient ‘Judaisms’ are often mentioned in Talmud and Midrash. As comparable social-religious entities, they are regarded ambivalently by the Rabbis. First, they were viewed as Jews, but from the end of the Tannaitic times, and especially after the Bar Kokhba revolt, they were perceived as non-Jews, not reliable about different fields of Halakhic concern. Rabbinic writings reflect on this change in attitude and describe a long ongoing conflict and a growing anti-Samaritan attitude. The article analyzes several dialogues between rabbis and Samaritans transmitted in the Midrash on the book of Genesis, Bereshit Rabbah. In four larger sections, the famous Rabbi Me’ir is depicted as the counterpart of certain Samaritans. The analyses of these discussions try to show how rabbinic texts avoid any direct exegetical dispute over particular verses of the Torah, but point to other hermeneutical levels of discourse and rejection of Samaritan claims. These texts thus reflect a remarkable understanding of some Samaritan convictions, and they demonstrate how rabbis denounced Samaritanism and refuted their counterparts. The Rabbi Me’ir dialogues thus are an impressive literary witness to the final stages of the parting of ways of these diverging religious streams.
Relationship between Selected Major, Minor, and Trace Elements in Iron Oxide–Copper–Gold Deposits, an Example from the Unique Sin Quyen Deposit (Lào Cai Province, North Vietnam)
Authors: Van H. Duong , Dinh C. Nguyen , Piestrzyński A. , Pieczonka J.
Published: May 2021

—We study the relations between several selected elements present in the Sin Quyen IOCG deposit, Lào Cai, North Vietnam, and interpret the obtained correlations, especially with a coefficient higher than 0.7. The correlations with high coefficients are mainly observed for the elements belonging to the chalcophile group (Cu, Ag, Au, Te, and Bi) and for the relation between uranium and Ag, Au, Cu, Pb, and Bi. Although the S-, Fe-, and REE-bearing minerals are predominant in the studied deposit, no strong correlation between them and the other elements was observed, even with Cu. The phenomena are primarily explained based on the geochemical properties of the mentioned elements and the characteristics of IOCG deposits.
Sobre a sintaxe da interpretação temporal dos infinitivos em português
Authors: Resende Maurício
Published: May 2021

Este artigo discute a sintaxe dos infinitivos verbais do português brasileiro, detendo-se mais especificamente no tipo de interpretação temporal que é veiculada a depender da configuração sintática em que a oração encaixada, nucleada por um infinitivo, aparece. Seguindo Chomsky (1995, 2000, 2001) e na esteira da proposta de Landau (2004), este trabalho propõe uma relação entre as projeções funcionais (com seus diferentes traços) que introduzem as orações infinitivas e o tipo de leitura – irrealis, anafórica ou genérica – que elas podem veicular.
Mudança construcional pós-construcionalização de “a gente” e “você” no português brasileiro
Authors: Gonçalves Sebastião Carlos Leite , Faria Marcelo Henrique Vieira de
Published: May 2021

Neste artigo, nosso objetivo é reinterpretar o processo de mudança das construções pronominais a gente e você do português brasileiro (PB), à luz do quadro teórico-metodológico dos Modelos Baseados no Uso da Língua (BYBEE, 2010; TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2013). A partir de evidências diacrônicas disponíveis em trabalhos de outros autores (CINTRA, 1972; LOPES, 2003; FARACO, 1996; MENON, 1996, dentre outros), e de dados reais do português brasileiro falado no interior paulista (GONÇALVES, 2007), defendemos que, após as duas construções integrarem a rede de pronomes pessoais, elas desencadeiam mudanças pós-construcionalização, passando a integrar também a rede de indeterminação de sujeito. As mudanças pós-construcionalização de você e a gente decorrem de mudanças sintáticas que o novo paradigma pronominal acarreta na gramática do PB.

Published: May 2021

The security of the network is a significant issue in any distributed system. For that intrusion detection system (IDS), have been proposed for securing the network from malicious activities. This research is proposed to design and develop an anomaly detection model for detecting attacks and unusual activities in IoT networks. The primary objective of this research is to design efficient IDS for IoT network. The intrusion detection plays an essential role in detecting different attacks on IoT and enhances the performance of the IoT. In this research, anomaly detection in IoT networks using glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) algorithm with principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed. However, the proposed model is metaheuristic algorithm-based anomaly detection model to identify attacks by using the NSL-KDD dataset. The GSO algorithm based on PCA is implemented to perform the anomaly detection. For feature extraction, the PCA is used, and for classification, the GSO algorithm is used. For performance analysis, various parameters like accuracy, precision, recall, detection rate and FAR are evaluated. For normal class the proposed model achieved 94.14% accuracy, for DoS 95.52%, for R2L 93.15%, for probe 93.50% and for U2R 88.62% accuracy. Overall the detection rate was 94.08% and FAR was 3.41%.

Published: May 2021

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are considered the gold standard research design for assessing the efficacy of health care treatments and are essential for improving knowledge and outcomes. However, the challenges of running RCTs in the alcohol addiction field are rarely discussed. The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a method designed to encourage contributions and elicit agreement on what to prioritise. This paper aims to identify challenges of alcohol addiction RCTs and solutions to these challenges using the NGT.Method: Six researchers from the Addictions Department, King’s College London, experienced in running alcohol addiction trials as trial managers, principal investigators and chief investigators, took part in a two-round decision conference, which involved impartial facilitation, on-the-spot modelling and interactive group discussion according to the NGT. The data generated from the first session was viewed and refined in the second session to create a priority list of challenges and solutions for future alcohol addiction RCTs.Results: The model produced a range of challenges when conducting alcohol addiction RCTs and solutions, which were rated according to priority by experts. After refinement of the model, these were categorised into five themes including: Staff, Recruitment, Follow ups, Governance and Funding. Each of these contained challenges and solutions when conducting alcohol addiction RCTs.Conclusion: The challenges to running alcohol addiction RCTs were discussed by a group experienced in this area in order to promote discussion and solutions. The process of sharing experiences and ideas allows for furthering knowledge to improve the running of alcohol addiction RCTs. There were some challenges that were discussed where no solutions were known or thought of. Current research activity should be more open to discussing and sharing challenges and possible solutions to improve research outcomes.

Authors: Yue Qingfang , Wang Fei , Cao Fei , Duan Xianglong , Bai Jun
Published: May 2021

Background: Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) is the primary cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) has been implicated in a number of important biological processes. However, the interrelation between PECAM-1 gene expression, tumor immunity, and prognosis of patients with BRCA is unclear. The current study is aimed to analyze the expression and clinical significance of PECAM-1 in breast cancer and the correlation between PECAM-1 and immune infiltrations. Methods: The differential expressions of PECAM-1 in breast cancer tissues and normal tissues were evaluated via exploring TIMER, Oncomine and UALCAN databases; the relationship within expression level of PECAM-1 and outcome of breast patients was evaluated via Kaplan-Meier plotter and PrognoScan; the methylation of PECAM-1 were investigated through the MethSurv platform; the correlation between PECAM-1 and tumor immune cell infiltration was further investigated by TIMER and GEPIA databases; the correlation between PECAM-1 and gene makers of immune infiltration were checked using TIMER and GEPIA. Results: There were significant differences in PECAM-1 expression levels between breast invasive carcinoma tissues and adjacent normal tissues. Low PECAM-1 expression was significantly related to poor overall survival, progression-free survival and distant metastasis free survival in patients with breast cancer. In DNA methylation level, PECAM-1 hypermethylation in three CpG sites (cg20830094, cg00427260 and cg00879592) showed poor survival in breast cancer. PECAM-1 expression exhibited significantly positive correlations with the levels of infiltrated B cell, CD4+T cells, CD8+ T cells, neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells in breast cancer. Furthermore, PECAM-1 expression is positively correlated with multiple immune gene makers in breast cancer.Conclusion: The expression of PECAM-1 can serves as a prognostic biomarker in breast invasive carcinoma and is correlated with immune infiltrates.

Published: May 2021

Background: In node-positive colon cancer, the impact of MLN size on prognosis is controversial. The aim of this study was to clarify the impact of metastatic lymph node (MLN) size on long-term outcomes in patients undergoing curative resection for pStage III colon cancer.Methods: This study enrolled patients who underwent curative colectomy for pStage III colon cancer between January 2013 and December 2015. All eligible patients were divided into four groups based on the short-axis diameter of the largest MLN: Group A, < 5 mm; Group B, ≥ 5 mm and < 10 mm; Group C, ≥ 10 mm and < 15 mm; and Group D, ≥ 15 mm. We performed univariate and multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazard regression models to identify clinicopathological factors affecting recurrence-free survival (RFS).Results: A total of 209 patients were analyzed. We evaluated 7305 LNs, of which 644 were metastatic. The 5-year RFS rates of Groups A, B, C, and D were 82.3%, 74.6%, 74.5%, and 60.7%, respectively. In univariate analysis, age older than 70 years, Group D (largest MLN ≥ 15 mm), and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy were significantly associated with RFS. In multivariate analysis, Group D (hazard ratio [HR], 3.95; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.34–11.65; p=0.01) and the absence of adjuvant chemotherapy (HR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.26-4.72; p<0.01) were independently associated with worse RFS.Conclusion: A maximum MLN ≥ 15 mm was significantly associated with worse RFS in stage III colon cancer. Bulky MLNs might be a poor prognostic factor in node-positive colon cancer.
Fantasy visions, Informal Urbanization, and Local conflict: Contradictions of Smart City imaginaries in India
Authors: Parida Debadutta
Published: May 2021

Smart city imaginaries have emerged in southern cities driven by neoliberal logics in the urban space. In the Indian context, much scholarly work in India has continued to engage with sweeping accounts of cities as opposed to detailed empirical studies. In this paper, I attempt to address this gap through an in-depth ethnographic inquiry of a slum redevelopment project(part of Smart city initiative) in the city of Bhubaneswar, India. I seek to understand ways in which smart city initiatives influence the everyday life of the marginalized urban slum dwellers. Drawing on participant observation; document analysis; and semi-structured interviews, I put forth three key findings from the study that advance the notion that Smart Cities initiatives in Indian cities actively marginalize the slum dwellers by attempting to dominate through inclusion. I borrow from Foucauldian concept of ‘counter-conducts’ and its reimagination in planning by Huxley (2017) to demonstrate that smart cities discourses are counter-intuitively resulting in emergent spaces of resistance in the form of counter-hegemonic practices, thus allowing spaces for evolution of discourse from unfamiliar territories. I conclude by discussing that city planning and governance pathways in India risk creating complicated path dependencies that can lead to state-citizen conflicts in the future.
Honeysuckle-Derived MicroRNA2911 Inhibits Tumor Growth by Targeting TGF-β1

Published: May 2021

Background: Honeysuckle is a time‐honored herb with anticancer activity in traditional Chinese medicine. Recently, accumulating reports are suggesting that the microRNAs in this medicinal plant not only play a physiological role in its original system, but also can be transmitted to another species as potential therapeutic components. In the numerous bioactive investigations, the anti-tumor effects of these microRNAs in the magical herb are rarely studied, especially the special miR2911, a honeysuckle-encoded atypical microRNA, with high stability during the boiling process and unique biological activity to target TGF-β1 mRNA. Methods: Luciferase assay was conducted to test the ability of miR2911 to target TGF-β1 mRNA. ELISA was performed to determine the expression level of TGF-β1 of mouse colorectal adenocarcinoma cells CT26 when treated with miR2911 and tumor tissue in Sidt1 +/+ and Sidt1 -/- mice. qRT-PCR was performed to examine the level of expression of miR2911. Tumor-bearing wild and nude mice were employed to evaluate the anti-tumor effect of honeysuckle and miR2911 in vivo . Tumor tissue necrosis was observed by H&E staining. Besides, the infiltration of T lymphocytes across solid tumors was tested by immunostaining staining. Results: Our results showed that honeysuckle slowed the development of colon cancers down. Further research showed that miR2911 could bind strongly to TGF-β1 mRNA and down-regulated the expression of TGF-β1 and had a high stability under boiling and acid condition. Moreover, SIDT1 mediated dietary miR2911 inter-species absorption. And we found that miR2911 had a similar anticancer effect as honeysuckle. Mechanistically, miR2911 reversed the tumor-promoting effect of TGF-β1 by an increase of T lymphocytes infiltration, resulting in slowing the colon cancer process in immunocompetent mice. Consistent with this inference, the anti-tumor effect of miR2911 was revealed to be abolished in T cell immune deficiency mice. Conclusion: Taken together, honeysuckle-derived miR2911 showed an anti-tumor effect in colon cancers though targeting TGF-β1 mRNA. The down-regulation of TGF-β1 promoted T lymphocytes infiltration, and accordingly impeded the colon tumor development.

Published: May 2021

BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global catastrophic disease that has severely affected more than 185 countries. The key steps in fighting against COVID-19 involve early detection and tracking of the treatment effects. A large number of studies highlighted computed tomography (CT) as a reliable method for early diagnosis and follow-up monitoring of the disease. However, there are limited data on quantitative analysis of the follow-up images. In this study, we used a deep learning model using a neural network with high accuracy in automatic segmentation and quantification to analyze the infected lesions on chest CT images.MethodsWe used a deep learning model using a neural network with high accuracy in automatic segmentation and quantification to analyze the infected lesions on chest CT images. A total of 14 patients (mean age, 53±14 years; age range, 23–74 years; 42.9% men and 57.1% women) with confirmed mild-type COVID-19 from January 1 to May 7, 2020, were retrospectively reviewed. Initial and follow-up original CT images were collected, and CT quantitative parameters, including percentage of infection (POI) and density variation of pneumonia, were determined.ResultsThe median initial POI was 3.4% (interquartile range, IQR 0.5%–8.4%) for the whole lung, 0.8% (IQR 0.2%–6.7%) for the left lung, and 5.8% (IQR 0.5%–9.7%) for the right lung. The infection was more serious in the right than in the left lung. The infected region mainly involved bilateral lower lobes, more pronounced on the right side. Quantitative CT showed that POI significantly decreased throughout the follow-up period in all 14 patients (p < 0.001). Among them, 50% of the patients had a more significant decrease in POI (51.3%) after a negative nucleic acid test. Moreover, there was a significant decrease in the CT number range of ground-glass opacities (GGO) and consolidation (p < 0.001).Conclusions﻿This study demonstrated the quantitative analysis of follow-up CT scans plays an important role in the monitoring of COVID-19 treatment, which could help in treatment planning and standardizing the assessment for discharge.

Published: May 2021

BackgroundTetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is one of the most prevalent and fatal birth defects. Its pathogenesis remains unknown and it’s not easily diagnosed at early stage. Therefore, it’s necessary to explore the critical regulators and molecular mechanism in ToF to find out novel molecular markers for early diagnosis.MethodsThree ToF datasets (GSE35490, GSE40128, GSE36761) were downloaded from the GEO database. The differentially expressed microRNAs (DEMs) and mRNAs (DEGs) were identified between ToF infants and normal infants after data preprocessing, followed by GO and KEGG analysis of DEGs. Then, PPI network and modular analysis were performed to identify the hub genes. Ultimately, potential miRNA-mRNA pathways in ToF were constructed based on the integrated data.Results22 overlapping DEMs were found in the GES35490 and GSE40128. Simultaneous, 181 intersected genes were found and identified as the significant DEGs including 84 down-regulated DEGs and 97 up-regulated DEGs. Further, 20 hub genes ranked by top 10% with high connectivity, including STAT3, FBN1, RUNX2, were found by PPT network and modular analysis. Furthermore, GO and KEGG analysis showed these DEGs were linked to cell cycle, apoptotic process, transcription activity and FOX signaling pathway. Additionally, we establish three potential miRNA-mRNA pathway, including miR-22-STAT3, miR-336/miR486-FBN1, miR-222-RUNX2, which can participate in the formation of ToF by cell cycle and transcription activity.ConclusionsThree miRNA-mRNA pathways were established and indicated cell cycle and transcription activity may be involved in the pathogenesis of ToF. Our study provided a novel bio-marker for early diagnosis of ToF.

Authors: D.R Sharma Manasa , S. Narayana , Babu S.V Suresh
Published: May 2021

Vitamin D promotes absorption of calcium in the intestine as well as renal tubules and maintains adequate levels of calcium and phosphate in serum to maintain normal bone mineralization and prevents osteoporosis. This vitamin can be produced endogenously when ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight hit the skin and promotes its synthesis [1]. Deficiency of this vitamin is common in India, the rate of prevalence range from 40 â€“ 90 percent [2]! Geographically India is partly tropical and subtropical and receives sunlight round the year. More than 30ng/mL was the biological reference interval for vitamin D but it was derived from western population and it is using by the diagnostic laboratories across the country. Because of this scale majority of healthy individuals shows insufficient Vitamin D levels [3]. Objectives: To assess the status of vitamin D in the premenopausal women. To evolve a reference range in Indian sub-population and to correlate the findings with the reference interval established by National institutes of health (NIH), USA. Methodology: A cross sectional study consisting of 127 adult pre-menopausal women (29 â€“ 45 years of age) was conducted. Their total Vitamin D levels were measured by Chemiluminescence immunoassay technique. Result: 26 Â± 8.5ng/mL was the biological reference interval (BRI) for Vitamin D, established by NIH but the in-house obtained BRI was 18.2 Â± 11.5ng/mL. The obtained BRI was significantly decreased (p <0.001) than NIH established values. Conclusion: 18.2 Â± 11.5ng/mL of Serum Vitamin D was observed in the adult premenopausal Indian sub population.

Published: May 2021

Government organisationsare generally known to be lagging behind their citizens in the use of social networking sites with half of the departments having little or no presence in such platforms. This study aims at understanding what type of content affects citizens attitude towards a Government Departments social media pages and how they perceive the message disseminated through such platforms. The researchers have selected the case of the Kerala Police Departments (KPD) Facebook page for the present study. Respondents who are post graduate students from various departments of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kerala were subject to different type and formats of content stimuli to assess their attitude towards the content type/format itself and attitude towards the department through a questionnaire. Not only will such a study contribute towards the knowledge base on social media research, this study will also help police department across states in India to develop appropriate content for social media to reach their citizens. In order to test the hypotheses and identify interactions between the dependent and independent variables, one-way ANOVA and independent sample t-tests were used. The results revealed significant differences in attitude towards KPD across stimuli and also attitude towards the stimuli itself. Among the various content type provided as stimuli, Hilarious memes generated the most favourable attitude towards the department. The attitude of the respondents towards post re-posting user content was the most favourable. Image/ photo content generates more positive attitude towards the department compared to video content. The study has also revealed that there is a significant difference between the attitudes of respondents who have had priorinteractionwith the Facebook page of KPDversus those who have had no priorinteraction.

Islamic boarding schools as Islamic dawah institutions adopt a pluralistic point of view. Islamic boarding schools are religious institutions that provide moral guidance, dawah, and Islamic education. They are institutions that experience conjunctions and the romance of life in facing internal and external challenges. However, a rigid leadership style still can be found since they maintain old traditionsthat remainsophisticatedin dealing with external problems. This study aims to analyze situational leadership at Islamic boarding schools in Central Lampung Regency. This study is a qualitative descriptive study that the data had been collected from the boarding school leaders, caregivers,administrators, and the students. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. A triangulation technique had been performed on the data and then followed by data analysis (data reduction, data presentation, and concluding). The analysis revealed that the situational leadership on the Telling, Selling, Participating, and Delegating dimensions have been implemented. However, from the four dimensions, the Delegating dimension has not been fully implemented. Besides, the delegating dimension is given to the caregivers and administrators with an M4 maturity level and given to the M3 maturity level. Of the four dimensions, the participating dimension is more widely implemented.

Pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma is a neuroendocrine tumor of chromaffin and nonchromaffin cells of the autonomic nervous system, in most cases localized in the medullary layer of the adrenal gland. Its development is often associated with genetic predisposition. More than 30% of adult patients have genetically determined PCC/PG. In the last decade, many genes predisposing to the manifestation of PCC/PG have been found: RET, VHL, NF1, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHA, SDHAF2, TMEM127, MAH, KIF1BP, PHD2, EGLN1, FH, H-RAS, IDH, SLC25A11, MDH2. Mutation of the oncosuppressor genes TMEM127 and EGLN1, which regulate the level of factors induced by HIF hypoxia, is extremely rare in patients with PCC/PG, and has not been described at all in combination with pancreatic tumor. To date, data on the clinical manifestations of these gene mutations are limited. Accumulating clinical data on patients with identified genetic alterations is important for predicting the course of the disease, clarifying the malignant potential and stratifying the risk of developing comorbid pathology. We present the clinical case of a 62-year-old patient with PCC/PG and pancreatic tumor in whom a previously undescribed combination of TMEM127 c.99G > A (p.S33S) and EGLN1 c.515C > T (p.A172V) gene variants was found.

Detecting and predicting the impact of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on streamflow are crucial sources of information for the effective management and protection of land and water resources in Sahelian ecosystems such as the Hadejia river basin. In this study, LULC change detection was performed using ENVI, while the LULC modeling was conducted using the cellular automata (CA)–Markov in the IDRISI environment. However, the streamflow trend and variation were assessed using the Mann–Kendall (MK) trend test and the inverse distance weightage (IDW). Before the LULC modeling and projection (2030), the LULC was classified for 1990, 2000, and 2010 using supervised classification. Model output revealed a strong relationship between LULC and streamflow trend, thus, the decade 1990–2000 was the decade with high forest clearance and streamflow output, and consequently severe floods. However, the decade 2000–2010 witnessed land use expansion mainly via construction (3.4%). Meanwhile, the scenario will slightly change in the future as agriculture is projected to expand by about 9.3% from 2010 to 2030 due to the increased human population. Thus, food insecurity aggravated by climate change should be anticipated, and measures to avert/reduce their effects must be initiated.

Authors: Hoyos-Flores Mirko Humberto
Published: May 2021

Introducción: Los estilos de aprendizaje son estudiados por su creciente utilidad en la formulación de estrategias de enseñanza acordes al perfil de cada estudiante. El rendimiento académico es la medida más fiable usada para comprobar la eficacia del método de estudio empleado, actualmente no se conoce la relación entre estilos y rendimiento académico en la Escuela de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Objetivo: El estudio tuvo como meta principal la identificación de los estilos de aprendizaje utilizados por los estudiantes de medicina en el primer año, y su relación con el rendimiento académico. Materiales y Métodos: La muestra consistió de 234 estudiantes de primer año durante el periodo 2016 y 2017. Se aplicó el cuestionario Honey-Alonso de estilos de aprendizaje, clasificándolos como activo, reflexivo, teórico o pragmático. Se relacionó el nivel de las preferencias en los estilos únicos y se buscó la relación con los rendimientos académicos basados en el promedio ponderado. Resultados: La edad promedio de los participantes fue de 19 años. El estilo predominante fue el reflexivo (70.19%), luego el teórico (13.94%), pragmático (10.58%) y el activo (5,29%). Se evidenció el dominio de dos estilos en 22 estudiantes y tres estilos en 3 estudiantes. No se encontró diferencias significativas en los rendimientos de grupos con diferentes estilos de aprendizaje. Conclusiones: El estilo predominante fue el reflexivo, con una preferencia mediana. No existe una relación estadísticamente significativa entre el rendimiento académico y los estilos de aprendizaje.
Saberes y prácticas de la persona con diabetes tipo 2: Implicancias para el cuidado de enfermería
Authors: Chávez Zegarra Gaby Sonia
Published: May 2021

Objetivos: Describir saberes de la persona con diabetes tipo 2 (DM2) acerca de la enfermedad y cuidados requeridos, así como analizar prácticas de cuidado que realiza de acuerdo a sus saberes. Finalmente, discutir las implicancias de conocer sus saberes y prácticas como aporte para el cuidado enfermero, teniendo como fundamento filosófico la teoría de Jean Watson, y los aportes de Paulo Freire. Métodos: Estudio cualitativo, método descriptivo exploratorio. Participaron 23 adultos con DM2. Escenario de investigación: Consultorio Externo de Endocrinología del H. N. Guillermo Almenara – EsSalud. Los datos fueron recolectados por entrevista abierta a profundidad y se procesaron con el análisis de contenido. Resultados: Los resultados presentaron tres (03) categorías temáticas: Saberes de las personas con DM 2 sobre proceso Salud/ Enfermedad, Prácticas para el (auto) control de la enfermedad y sentimientos; y su relación con los saberes y prácticas. Consideraciones finales: Las personas con DM2 a pesar de saber lo que tienen que hacer para mantener la glucosa normal, presentan patrones conductuales desordenados en su estilo de alimentación, realizan escasa actividad física, e inadecuada adherencia al tratamiento, lo que afecta su estado emocional y determina un inadecuado control de la enfermedad. Los resultados corroboran que el empoderamiento y las acciones que la persona diabética asume con respecto de su enfermedad permiten el no control de la misma. Es esencial que las enfermeras conozcan lo que saben y cómo se cuidan las personas con DM2. Este diálogo permitirá ayudarlos a mejorar su estilo de vida que contribuyen a tener una buena calidad de vida.

Published: May 2021

Montería, Capital del Departamento de Córdoba, Colombia, a pesar de ser una ciudad intermedia; posee destacados recursos que le han permitido renovarse, enmarcándose en tendencias actuales como la sostenibilidad global. Su ardua labor, al asumir el desafío de proporcionar calidad de vida bajo un entorno sostenible a una población en constante crecimiento, ha dado frutos, siendo galardonada en diversas oportunidades; sin embargo, el reto continúa ante el cumplimiento de otros indicadores de sostenibilidad. En tal sentido, el objetivo general de este estudio de tipo analítico documental fue analizar las políticas públicas de conciencia ambiental como pilar estratégico de Montería para posicionarse como Ciudad Sostenible. A partir de la Agenda 2030 adoptada por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas y los Objetivos de Desarrollo sostenible, se examina el Plan de Desarrollo Montería 2016-2019, Plan Maestro de Cambio Climático 2019 y el Plan de Acciones 2032 Montería Sostenible de Cara al Río Sinú, como principales instrumentos de planeación vinculantes a políticas públicas en ambiente y sostenibilidad. Las reflexiones resultantes permiten evidenciar un balance positivo de los alcances y logros en cada documento de política pública y se reconoce la conciencia ambiental como mecanismo político, articulada a la identidad regional y la mejora continua de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes, como estandarte y pilar estratégico filosófico de estas políticas para continuar trabajando apegados al protocolo de ciudad sostenible, por lo tanto, el reto siguiente es la actualización de instrumentos normativos de aplicabilidad de las políticas públicas con énfasis en medidas para crear mayor conciencia y cultura ambiental en la ciudadanía desde un eje educativo.
