Un poco más allá del sentido común

La civilización convirtió al bastardo de la evolución en un antropos presumido que convierte a la naturaleza en una granja porcina a pesar de la amenaza a su propia existencia.

Si en la juventud el hombre sueña en la felicidad como si fuera un maná celestial, en la vejez se inclina a pensar que la felicidad es la ausencia de malestares, lo cual es difícil lograr.

Si los sentimientos dejaran de ser dueños de los pensamientos, entonces la convivencia humana podría liberarse de muchas tragedias absurdas y farsas grotescas.

Los primeros destellos de la razón se manifiestan en la comparación, ya que ésta es el origen de la actitud cognitiva y valorativa que compensa el déficit existencial del Homo sapiens.

Si el miedo esclaviza el presente desde el futuro, en la vivencia de la culpa el pasado toma como rehén el presente.

Published: February 2019

El uso de agroquímicos es necesario para mantener el rendimiento promedio de los cultivos. Sin embargo, los efectos causados en los trabajadores agrícolas representan un problema de salud. La determinación de la actividad de la colinesterasa en la sangre es un valioso indicador de exposición a agroquímicos organofosforados. Con base en lo anterior, se explora la posibilidad de intoxicaciones agudas grado 1 y se determinan los valores de acetilcolinesterasa en 25 personas que laboran en actividades agrícolas y en 5 como muestra control. De la población estudiada, 86% presentó valores normales de la actividad de la colinesterasa. No obstante, los resultados sirven como indicadores biológicos de intoxicación y son importantes para el seguimiento y detección de los efectos tóxicos producidos.
Serious Gaming as an Additional Learning Tool for Medical Education
Authors: aksoy mehmet emin , sayali mehmet erhan
Published: February 2019

Background Computer-based learning methodologies have become more prevalent in the last decade. Web based serious gaming and virtual patients are novel in medical education, which have the potential to become important tools to improve today's medical students' knowledge and performance.Methods A total of 81 medical students participated in our study. They were either assigned to an intervention group or a control group . The intervention group completed a serious game module designed for Basic Life Support education. The control group received a theoretical lecture on the same content. On the next day both groups received simulation-based hands-on training for BLS using the same criteria. All students were assessed with an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) the following week. Results There was no difference between the intervention group that used a web based serious game module for BLS and the control group that received a standard theoretical lecture from the faculty. Discussion and Conclusion Computer based interactive serious games seem to present a favourable additional tool for medical education. OSCE results imply, that the use of serious games as a self-learning strategy can be as useful as theoretical lectures; which means that it is saving time of learners and educators
Experimentally-Induced Inflammation Predicts Present Focus
Authors: Lab TCU Hill
Published: February 2019

Objective. Here, we provide an experimental test of the relationship between levels of proinflammatory cytokines and present-focused decision-making. Methods. We examined whether increases in salivary levels of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β and interleukin-6) engendered by visually priming immunologically-relevant threats (pathogen threat, physical harm) and opportunities (mating) predicted temporal discounting, a key component of present-focused decision-making.Results. As hypothesized, results revealed that each experimental manipulation led to a significant rise in both salivary interleukin-1β and interleukin-6. Moreover, post-manipulation levels of each cytokine independently predicted temporal discounting across conditions. These results were not moderated by pre-manipulation levels of either cytokine, nor were they found using the difference between pre- and post-manipulation levels of cytokines as a predictor. Conclusions. Together, these results suggest that levels of proinflammatory cytokines may play a mechanistic role in the desire for immediately available rewards.
Bayesian atmospheric correction over land: Sentinel-2/MSI and Landsat 8/OLI
Authors: Yin Feng , Lewis Philip , Gomez-Dans Jose , Wu Qingling
Published: February 2019

Mitigating the impact of atmospheric effects on optical remote sensing data is critical for monitoring intrinsic land processes and developing Analysis Ready Data (ARD). This work develops an approach to this for the NERC NCEO medium resolution ARD Landsat 8 (L8) and Sentinel 2 (S2) products, called Sensor Invariant Atmospheric Correction (SIAC). The contribution of the work is to phrase and solve that problem within a probabilistic (Bayesian) framework for medium resolution multispectral sensors S2/MSI and L8/OLI and to provide per-pixel uncertainty estimates traceable from assumed top-of-atmosphere (TOA) measurement uncertainty, making progress towards an important aspect of CEOS ARD target requirements.A set of observational and a priori constraints are developed in SIAC to constrain an estimate of coarse resolution (500 m) aerosol optical thickness (AOT) and total column water vapour (TCWV), along with associated uncertainty. This is then used to estimate the medium resolution (10–60 m) surface reflectance and uncertainty, given an assumed uncertainty of 5 % in TOA reflectance. The coarse resolution a priori constraints used are the MODIS MCD43 BRDF/Albedo product, giving a constraint on 500 m surface reflectance, and the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) operational forecasts of AOT and TCWV, providing estimates of atmospheric state at core 40 km spatial resolution, with an associated 500 m resolution spatial correlation model. The mapping in spatial scale between medium resolution observations and the coarser resolution constraints is achieved using a calibrated effective point spread function for MCD43. Efficient approximations (emulators) to the outputs of the 6S atmospheric radiative transfer code are used to estimate the state parameters in the atmospheric correction stage.SIAC is demonstrated for a set of global S2 and L8 images covering AERONET and RadCalNet sites. AOT retrievals show a very high correlation to AERONET estimates (correlation coefficient around 0.86, RMSE of 0.07 for both sensors), although with a small bias in AOT. TCWV is accurately retrieved from both sensors (correlation coefficient over 0.96, RMSE <0.32 g cm−2). Comparisons with in situ surface reflectance measurements from the RadCalNet network show that SIAC provides accurate estimates of surface reflectance across the entire spectrum, with RMSE mismatches with the reference data between 0.01 and 0.02 in units of reflectance for both S2 and L8. For near-simultaneous S2 and L8 acquisitions, there is a very tight relationship (correlation coefficient over 0.95 for all common bands) between surface reflectance from both sensors, with negligible biases. Uncertainty estimates are assessed through discrepancy analysis and are found to provide viable estimates for AOT and TCWV. For surface reflectance, they give conservative estimates of uncertainty, suggesting that a lower estimate of TOA reflectance uncertainty might be appropriate.
The Potential of Nipah (Nypa Fruticans Wurmb) as Bioenergy Resources
Authors: Irawan Bambang , Khabibi Jauhar , Agustina Ana
Published: February 2019

Renewable energy opens up prospects for answer the problem and an eco-friendly solution directed to energy security. Indonesia as a rich country of biodiversity resources, has a high potential for developing new and renewable energy derivates from plants. One of those biodiversity resources that had been investigated is nipah (Nypa fruticans Wurmb). Nipah belongs to family Palmae or Arecaceae. Commonly known as the nipa palm, is a species of palm considered adapted to the mangrove ecosystem. Nipah naturally distributes in Sumatera, Kalimantan, Java, Sulawesi, and New Guinea. Nipah produces high amount of sap that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah sap was produced by fruit stalks that can be harvested twice a day. One stalk can produce about 0.5 to 2 l sap per day. This nipah sap generates 8.98-14% of ethanol that resulting varied amount of bioethanol from 3,587.92-22,374.54 l per ha per year. Nipah also contains high amount of lignocellulose that can be converted into bioethanol. Nipah has cellulose and hemicellulose content that ranges from 28.9-45.6 wt% and 21.8-26.4 wt%, respectively. This lignocellulose component can be converted into bioethanol and yielded around 1,169.22 kg per ha. Charcoal production is also potentially made from some parts of nipah tree, such as fruit bunch, fruit shell, leaf midrib, and leaves. Nipah has productivity around 2,858.89 kg per ha to produce charcoal. The nipah charcoal has characteristics close to charcoal characteristics produced from other palm trees.
Quantitative causal selection patterns in token causation
Authors: Morris Adam , Phillips Jonathan Scott , Gerstenberg Tobias , Cushman Fiery Andrews
Published: February 2019

When many events contributed to an outcome, people consistently judge some more causal than others, based in part on the prior probabilities of those events. For instance, when a tree bursts into flames, people judge the lightning strike more of a cause than the presence of oxygen in the air -- in part because oxygen is so common, and lightning strikes are so rare. These effects, which play a major role in several prominent theories of token causation, have largely been studied through qualitative manipulations of the prior probabilities. Yet, there is good reason to think that people's causal judgments are on a continuum -- and relatively little is known about how these judgments vary quantitatively as the prior probabilities change. In this paper, we measure people's causal judgment across parametric manipulations of the prior probabilities of antecedent events. Our experiments replicate previous qualitative findings, and also reveal several novel patterns that are not well-described by existing theories.
In the Mix: Social Integration and Social Media Adoption
Authors: Shepherd Hana , Lane Jeffrey
Published: February 2019

What is the nature of the relationship between online and offline social life? Specifically, how does participation in the traditional forms of social life of a community shape social media adoption? Using a unique, two-wave panel dataset with saturated network data from over 20,000 students in 56 New Jersey middle schools, we test how measures of integration into a community are associated with adoption and de-adoption of social media platforms over the course of a school year. Social media adoption and de-adoption are related to the extent of students’ bonding integration (social connections and social support) and competitive integration (related to status and dominance hierarchies) into the social life of the school, where more integrated students are more likely to adopt more social media platforms. Social media provides a space for community members to be in the know and to be known, both of which are more valuable with greater social integration.
A framework for mission-oriented innovation policy: Alternative pathways through the problem-solution space
Authors: Wanzenböck Iris , Wesseling Joeri , Frenken Koen , Hekkert Marko , Weber Matthias
Published: February 2019

We aim for a better conceptualization of Mission-oriented Innovation Policy (MIP). Our starting point is an analytical decomposition of societal problems and innovative solutions based on the degrees of wickedness regarding three aspects: i) contestation, ii) complexity and iii) uncertainty. We argue that both problems and solutions can be diverging (contested, complex, uncertain) or converging (uncontested, well-defined, informed). Based on the resulting problem-solution topology, we suggest a process-oriented view on MIP and discuss three alternative pathways along which convergence between problems and solutions can be achieved to transform wicked problems into legitimate solutions. We illustrate the pathways with the examples of smoking bans, CCTV and wind energy. For policy makers, locating a societal challenge in this problem-solution space, and implementing policy strategies accordingly, is expected to accelerate both the legitimacy of a mission and the resulting solutions.

Published: February 2019

Penelitian tentang teknologi plasma pada kondisi atmosfer telah dilakukan untuk mengembangkan industri tekstil. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan karakteristik plasma dengan maupun tanpa penempatan kain polyester grey diantara dua elektroda serta mendapatkan karakteristik serapan tetes air pada kain polyester grey setelah diiradiasi menggunakan plasma. Plasma dibangkitkan dengan mengggunakan reaktor berkonfigurasi elektroda multititik-bidang menggunakan elektroda titik sebanyak 100. Elektroda titik tersebut dihubungkan dengan sumber tegangan tinggi DC dan berperilaku sebagai anoda dengan elektroda bidang sebagai katoda. Jarak antar elektroda titik ditetapkan sebesar 1,3 cm yang dikonfigurasi pada 10 baris dan 10 kolom. Kain polyester grey yang diiradiasi berukuran (10x10) cm2 dan diletakkan pada elektroda bidang. Dalam proses iradiasi, jarak antar elektroda diatur pada jarak 0,9 cm hingga 3,6 cm dengan tiap kenaikan jarak sebesar 0,3 cm. Mobilitas ion dalam proses iradiasi ditentukan dengan menggunakan karakteristik arus – tegangan dari pembangkitan plasma. Proses iradiasi plasma pada kain polyester grey ditetapkan selama 5 menit hingga 35 menit dengan tiap kenaikan durasi selama 5 menit. Hasil pengukuran menunjukkan bahwa semakin besar jarak antara elektroda mengakibatkan besar arus pembangkitan plasma semakin kecil. Akar arus sebagai fungsi terhadap tegangan merupakan persamaan garis lurus sehingga nilai mobilitas ion dapat ditentukan dengan pendekatan persamaan Robinson. Perhitungan mobilitas ion tanpa kain diantara elektroda menunjukkan nilai 30,07 cm2/Vs pada jarak antar elektroda 0,9 cm dengan trend menurun hingga 4,32 cm2/Vs seiring pertambahan jarak antar elektroda. Sedangkan perhitungan mobilitas ion dengan menempatkan kain polyester grey pada elektroda menunjukkan nilai 10,25 cm2/Vs pada jarak antar elektroda 2,1 cm dengan trend yang juga menurun hingga 3,39 cm2/Vs seiring pertambahan jarak antar elektroda. Karakteristik kain polyester grey mengalami perubahan berupa penyerapan tetes air yang semakin cepat hingga 1,2 detik dimana sebelum diiradiasi terukur selama sebesar 15 detik.
Проблема оригинальности древнеславянской гимнографии
Authors: Stantchev Krassimir Stefanov
Published: February 2019

Based on the research of the last 15 years, the author proposes the following palette of possibilities for the emergence of new Slavonic liturgical services in the Middle Ages of Slavia Orthodoxa:

1.the writing original texts, i.e. texts created according to the model and the patterns of Byzantine hymnography but in which there are no direct textual borrowings;

the translation of services from Greek without interference in the structure and imagery of the addressee;

translation — re-elaboration, which can include borrowing from other translated or original services, turning into a compilation; (of course, processing and compilation can occur at a later stage using a translation of the borrowing) /2/ — in this case we are dealing with re-elaboration of the translation;

adaptation, which can be: a) the specification of the common service to a particular saint of the same rank; b) turning a particular service into a common one; b) adaptation of a service to one saint for the commemoration of another one (sometimes with elements of re-elaboration) without necessarily coordinating with the type of sanctity of the new addressee.

In conclusion, the following definition of the originality of ancient Slavic hymnography is proposed: we can call original hymnographic compositions, created specifically in memory of a specific saint and assigned to it, regardless of whether the composing chants are really the the product of an autonomous creative act or adaptation/actualization of already existing hymns.
Le post-partum côté femme : un quatrième trimestre de « gestation » ? Sortir des dénis culturels pour un meilleur accompagnement
Authors: Bayot I.
Published: February 2019

Les compétences et les besoins du nouveau-né sont mieux connus depuis les années 1980 et génèrent des attentes envers les mères en termes de maternage et d’allaitement. Ces pratiques sont à la fois aussi anciennes que l’humanité, et à la fois en opposition avec des représentations culturelles fortement ancrées, et les discours contradictoires qui en découlent participent au stress parental. Une meilleure connaissance des spécificités de ce temps du féminin permettrait un meilleur accompagnement de cette période souvent vécue dans une trop grande solitude. D’un côté, les coadaptations mère–bébé continuent après la naissance via les jeux hormonaux, l’adaptation du sommeil maternel, la sensibilité émotionnelle, la lactation (faire du lait) et l’allaitement (nourrir un bébé). Et de l’autre, la régression des structures mises en place durant la gestation fait partie d’un cheminement vers un nouvel équilibre qui n’est pas « retour », mais cheminement et création. En s’appuyant sur les recommandations actuelles, quels outils et pistes pouvons-nous, professionnels de la santé, explorer pour préparer et accompagner au mieux cette période ?

The objectives of this study were to investigate the morphological characteristics, grain yield, and anthocyanin content of 36 black rice accessions that were collected from different locations in Vietnam. The results showed that the black rice accessions varied in growth duration (130 to 150 days), plant height (91.5 to 143.6 cm), morphological characteristics, and yield components. Grain yield of the black rice accessions ranged from 2.8 to 8.7 tons ha-1. The black rice accessions were classified into four groups based on their anthocyanin content: group I > 0.1% anthocyanin, group II 0.05%-0.1%, group III 0.001%-0.05%, and group IV < 0.001%. BR7 had the highest anthocyanin content (0.1438%), followed by BR5 (0.1317%). Anthocyanins with the strongest antioxidant activities were extracted from BR8, BR35, BR6, BR27, BR30, BR32, BR18, BR17, BR19, and BR1 with IC50 values less than 2 µg mL-1. Seven promising black rice accessions, namely BR1, BR14, BR17, BR25, BR30, BR34, and BR35, were selected for further research based on their high anthocyanin contents, and good grain yield and yield components.
A Novel Multi-Criteria Decision Making Method for Evaluating Water Reuse Applications under Uncertainty
Authors: Le Nhung Thi , Nguyen Thao Xuan
Published: February 2019

There are currently many places in the world where water is scarce. Therefore, water reuse has been mentioned by many researchers. Evaluation of water reuse applications is the selection of the best water reuse application of the existing options; it is also one of the applications of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). In this paper, we introduce a new dissimilarity measure of picture fuzzy sets. This new measure overcomes the restriction of other existing dissimilarity measures of picture fuzzy sets. Then, we apply it to the multi-criteria decision making. Finally, we refer to a new method for selecting the best water reuse application of the available options by using the picture fuzzy MCDM.

Using a Culturally Competent Framework to Increase Annual Breast Cancer Screening Rates Among Low-Income Latinas
Authors: Sobero Raúl A. , Giraldo Gloria P.
Published: February 2019

The Orange County, California, Cancer Detection Partnership is a successful example of a multitiered breast cancer detection program that reaches low-income, underserved women with remarkably high breast cancer screening rates for Latinas. Between July 1999 and June 2001, 65.3 percent of Latinas eligible for free breast cancer screening services were screened by the provider network affiliated with this partnership. This case study provides evidence that culturally competent services are effective. The key elements underlying the effectiveness of this program are a strong foundation of collaboration, commitment to integrate community participation into program decision-making, and innovative implementation strategies developed within a culturally competent framework. These elements have either reduced or eliminated barriers related to infrastructure, socio-cultural issues, and financial concerns that low-income women often face when accessing services. The California Department of Health Services, Cancer Detection Section, designed a model that enables ten regional cancer detection partnerships to prevent and reduce the devastating effects of breast cancer through early detection, diagnosis and treatment by incorporating these and other key elements into their programs. This case study includes discussion and recommendations for program enhancement and future research.
Latina Project: Adolescent and Parent Perceptions of Successful Teen Pregnancy Prevention Programs
Authors: Madlem M. S. , Bambrick Cathy
Published: February 2019

The Hispanic population is rapidly growing in the U.S. The health issues that challenge this population are often unique. Pregnancy rates among Hispanic teens have remained steady or risen in some areas. Yakima County, Washington has the highest teen pregnancy rate for women aged 18-19 of any county in the state (182.72 per 1000 women compared with 104.32 per 1000 women in Washington). Over half of the births in this age range are to Hispanic teens. For these reasons, Planned Parenthood of Central Washington, with funding from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, collaborated with Central Washington University to conduct formative research on Hispanic teen pregnancy prevention. This qualitative focus group study revealed perceptions of adolescents and parents of communication patterns, desired content of sexuality education programs, and the provision of sexuality education programming. Understanding these perceptions may be the first step in developing educational programs that have a positive impact on Latina teens.
Roles of Trust and Cross-Cultural Miscommunication in Clinical Decision-Making

This paper explores the emotional world of a recent Mexican immigrant who lives in Los Angeles and is awaiting the results of the amniocentesis she has ambivalently agreed to. She is 45 years old and has given birth to two children with severe disabilities and two who are apparently normal. We focus our analysis on the woman's reactions and feelings during the nine days she spends waiting for the test results. We show that the standard prenatal genetic clinical protocol aimed at providing medical education and requiring professional neutrality and emotional detachment left the woman feeling rejected and subsequently unwilling to seek information or support from her clinicians. We find that while the intent of a protocol of neutrality is to enable patients to make informed decisions without feeling pressure from clinicians, some women want greater emotional engagement. We argue that professional neutrality can inhibit patient-clinician communication, hamper medical education, and ultimately detract from patients' ability to make informed medical choices. / El presente artículo explora el mundo emocional de Rocío, una inmigrante mexicana, quien se encuentra esperando los resultados de una amniocentesis que aceptó hacerse, a pesar de las dudas sobre la credibilidad y utilidad de la misma. Rocío, de 45 años, tenía ya otros hijos, dos con anormalidades severas y dos aparentemente sanos. Centramos nuestro análisis en los sentimientos y reacciones durante los nueve días que transcurren mientras espera el diagnóstico. En este trabajo mostramos cómo la forma de presentar la información médica puede llegar a entorpecer la toma de decisión de un paciente. El protocolo genético tiene por meta proveer información médica manteniendo una cierta distancia profesional y emocional. Estas condiciones hacen que, en nuestro estudio de caso, la paciente se sienta rechazada y sin deseos de acercarse al personal médico, ya sea en busca de apoyo emocional o información que aclararía sus dudas. Creemos que, mientras el objetivo de la neutralidad profesional es asegurar que el paciente decida con los conocimientos adecuados y, a la vez, sin sentirse presionado, algunas mujeres preferirían un mayor acercamiento emocional por parte del personal médico cuando deben decidir sobre pruebas o tratamientos. Creemos que la neutralidad profesional puede llegar a inhibir la comunicación médico-paciente, dificultar la comprensión de la información y, por último, obstaculizar la habilidad de tomar decisiones informadas por parte de los pacientes.

The TiO2/Hydroxyapatite (TiO2/HAp) nanocomposites with different ratios were prepared by precipitation of hydroxyapatite in the presence of TiO2 or TiO(OH)2. The physicochemical properties of TiO2/HAp material were characterized using the batch equilibration method and BET, XPS, DRS, FTIR analyses. The XPS result showed that binding energy of Ca-P was 347.2eV, that of P-OH was 133.3eV and the Ti 2p spectrum could be resolved into two spin-orbit pairs 2p3/2 and 2p1/2 with binding energies of 458.6 and 464.1 eV, respectively, which are the characteristics of titanium(IV) in TiO2. The FTIR result suggested that the formation of the TiO2/HAp nanocomposites have not changed the structure nor the phase of the hydroxyapatite crystals. However, the physicochemical properties of TiO2/HAp nanocomposites such as pHpzc values, band gap energy, specific surface area and pore volume were higher than those of pure TiO2 and HAp.

This study focuses on determining the concentration of fluoride in groundwater and estimating the fluoride exposure through drinking water of three different age-groups for residents in Tay Son district, Binh Dinh province. A total of 50 well-water samples were collected and 220 people were surveyed by questionnaire from 50 households at 3 communes: Tay Phu, Binh Tuong, Tay Giang of Tay Son district. Results of this study showed that fluoride concentrations in well-water varied from 0.31 mg/L to 7.69 mg/L (mean 2.66 mg/L, SD: 2.18 mg/L) with 70% of the well-water samples above the maximum permissible limit of 1.5 mg/L (QCVN 09:2008/BTNMT). Groundwater in the studied area is seriously contaminated with fluoride. Exposure of fluoride among three age-groups was calculated according to the guidance of United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The maximum estimated exposure doses of 0.721 mg/kg/day in the age-group of below 6 year, 0.530 mg/kg/day in the age-group between 6 and 12 years and 0.320 mg/kg/day in the age-group above 12 year exceed the LOAEL value of 0.1 mg/kg/day (WHO, 1984). A health risk due to fluorosis to the people in Tay Son district has become an evidence.

We used pomelo waste after extracting oil to investigate for uptaking cadmium ion (Cd2+) in solution. The material was activated with citric acid and sodium hydroxide in order to increase the adsorption efficiency. The result of a batch process was at the highest adsorption rate of 88,04% when the solution pH was 7, the initial concentration of Cd2+ (hand-made solution) was 25mg/L, the particle size of adsorpbent was 0,1 – 0,5mm within 80mins at room temperature. The material’s adsorption isotherm is suitable for Langmuir isotherm and the maximun mass of Cd2+ adsorbed per mass of adsorbent is 39,8mg/g. In conclusion, the experiment shows the adsorption ability of activated pomelo waste on cadmium and its application in waste water treatment.
