Background

Childhood obesity has become a significant public health concern over the past 2 decades, posing multifactorial challenges, including modifiable factors like dietary habits, physical activity, screen time, and sleeping habits. Prevention efforts require a comprehensive approach comprising educational interventions, collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, and community engagement. Since schools play a central role in children's lives, they are the ideal setting for promoting healthy habits.

Objective

The LIVELY (Multidimensional School-Based and Family-Involved Interventions to Promote a Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle) study will assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity in primary school children and identify contributing factors within families. Additionally, it aims to implement and evaluate a multidimensional, multidisciplinary intervention to foster a sustainable and healthy lifestyle, ultimately working toward preventing obesity in school-aged children.

Methods

During the school year, each class will be individually involved in a multidimensional educational intervention covering the topics of healthy, sustainable nutrition and lifestyle. Children will also participate in a multimedia lab where they will create an animated cartoon. The lectures will engage them through various methods, including direct instructions, games, and drawing activities, to stimulate and enhance their learning and involvement.

Results

Data collection began in October 2023 and will last until the end of October 2024. A sample of 227 children from 14 classes was included in the study. The mean age was 8.9 (SD 1.2) years, and 48% (n=110) were males. Among the overall sample, 18.1% (n=41; 95% CI 13.7%-23.7%) were overweight, while 5.3% (n=12; 95% CI 3%-9%) had obesity. Males had a higher prevalence of obesity than females (9.1%, n=10 vs 1.7%, n=3, P=.03, respectively). Otherwise, the prevalence of central obesity was similar between the two (P=.329). Data analysis and the presentation of the complete results will be available after the end of 2024.

Conclusions

The study could lead to the structuring of an educational intervention model in school settings aimed at preventing childhood obesity. Moreover, it could help raise awareness of childhood obesity and help prevent this public health issue.

Authors: Lang Yan , Chen Kay-Yut , Zhou Yuan , Kosmari Ludmila , Daniel Kathryn , Gurses Ayse , Young Richard , Arbaje Alicia , Xiao Yan
Published: August 2024

BACKGROUND

Previous research and safety advocacy groups have proposed various behaviors for older adults to actively engage in medication safety. However, little is known about how older adults perceive the importance and reasonableness of these behaviors in ambulatory settings.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess older adults’ perceptions of the importance and reasonableness of 8 medication safety behaviors in ambulatory settings and compare their responses with those of younger adults.

METHODS

We conducted a survey of 1222 adults in the United States using crowdsourcing to evaluate patient behaviors that may enhance medication safety in community settings. A total of 8 safety behaviors were identified based on the literature, such as bringing medications to office visits, confirming medications at home, managing medication refills, using patient portals, organizing medications, checking medications, getting help, and knowing medications. Respondents were asked about their perception of the importance and reasonableness of these behaviors on a 5-point Likert rating scale in the context of collaboration with primary care providers. We assessed the relative ranking of behaviors in terms of importance and reasonableness and examined the association between these dimensions across age groups using statistical tests.

RESULTS

Of 1222 adult participants, 125 (10.2%) were aged 65 years or older. Most participants were White, college-educated, and had chronic conditions. Older adults rated all 8 behaviors significantly higher in both importance and reasonableness than did younger adults (P<.001 for combined behaviors). Confirming medications ranked highest in importance (mean score=3.78) for both age groups while knowing medications ranked highest in reasonableness (mean score=3.68). Using patient portals was ranked lowest in importance (mean score=3.53) and reasonableness (mean score=3.49). There was a significant correlation between the perceived importance and reasonableness of the identified behaviors, with coefficients ranging from 0.436 to 0.543 (all P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Older adults perceived the identified safety behaviors as more important and reasonable than younger adults. However, both age groups considered a behavior highly recommended by professionals as the least important and reasonable. Patient engagement strategies, common and specific to age groups, should be considered to improve medication safety in ambulatory settings.
Microplastics in Russian Freshwater Systems: a Review
Authors: Filimonova Elena , Preobrazhenskaya Alexandra , Gutnikova Larisa
Published: August 2024

Contamination of environment by plastic debris has already become a worldwide problem due to the global production of polymers and the further accumulation of waste. Microplastic particles (<5 mm) have been found almost everywhere. Despite the significant number of publications devoted to the microplastic pollution in freshwater and marine environments, in the review articles around the world freshwater systems the Russian territory is a white spot. The article provides the summary of studies investigating microplastics (MP) in Russian lakes and rivers, the determination of concentrations, type and composition of polymer particles and also possible sources of plastic contamination. The map of the MP distribution in Russian freshwater systems is presented. The concentration of microplastics in freshwater system varies greatly, e.g., in lakes from 0,27 items/m3 in Lake Baikal to (4-26)∙103 items/m3 in the Altai lakes of Western Siberia; in large Russian rivers measured polymer content varies by three orders of magnitude, from parts of items/m3 in the Volga River to hundreds of items/m3 in the Upper Ob. Significantly higher concentrations of MP are found in the bottom sediments of rivers and lakes, exceeding polymer concentrations in surface water by several orders of magnitude. Thus, bottom sediments are able to accumulate significant amounts of MP.

Published: August 2024

Informasi yang akurat dan termutakhir mengenai data spasial permukiman skala menengah dibutuhkan berbagai bidang seperti agenda pembangunan berkelanjutan, perubahan iklim dan pengurangan risiko bencana. Namun, ekstraksi informasi spasial untuk permukiman selalu menjadi tantangan karena heterogenitas spasial permukiman yang kompleks. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengekstraksi permukiman dari kombinasi citra Sentinel-2 dan Sentinel-1 menggunakan metode Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) dengan platform Google Earth Engine (GEE). Dataset ekstraksi permukiman dibentuk dari 33 fitur kombinasi saluran spektral, indeks spektral dan tekstur. Sementara itu, dataset segmentasi terdiri dari kombinasi indeks spektral UI–NDVI-MNDWI hasil perhitungan Optimum Index Factor (OIF). Segmentasi diproses menggunakan Simple Non-Iterative Clustering (SNIC) dan diklasifikasi dengan algoritma Random Forest (RF). Secara visual, hasil ekstraksi permukiman menunjukkan pola distribusi yang konsisten dengan permukiman peta Rupabumi Indonesia (RBI) skala 1:25000, tetapi memiliki karakter geometri yang berbeda. Oleh karena itu, hasil ekstraksi permukiman belum dapat digunakan secara langsung sebagai data masukan pembuatan peta RBI skala menengah, tetapi dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai panduan digitasi dan mendukung kontrol kualitas. Selain itu, nilai penting fitur dalam klasifikasi RF juga dianalisis dengan hasil fitur polarisasi VV memiliki kontribusi paling tinggi. Uji akurasi menghasilkan nilai overall accuracy dan F-score sebesar 92%. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa model klasifikasi dan metode OBIA di GEE mampu menghasilkan data ekstraksi permukiman dengan akurasi yang tinggi di wilayah dengan landskap yang beragam.
The Role of Shareholder Management and Market Management in the Enterprise Operations Management-Enterprise Performance Relationship
Authors: Zhu Chenxu
Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore the moderating roles of shareholder management and market management in the relationship between operational management and firm performance. By conducting an empirical analysis of 1929 U.S. companies from 2015 to 2023, the results demonstrate that shareholder management capability and market management capability significantly moderate this relationship. Specifically, higher shareholder management capability optimizes firm performance by enhancing the efficiency of shareholder equity utilization and increasing decision-making flexibility, while higher market management capability improves performance by effectively responding to market fluctuations and demand changes. The findings support the financial management perspective of global strategy, emphasizing the importance of efficient financial resource management in international firms. This research provides new insights into the complex roles of shareholder management and market management in enhancing firm performance, particularly in the context of U.S. companies.
An Analysis of the Italian Dubbing of Edgar Allan Poe’s Poems in “The Fall of the House of Usher”
Authors: Pannacci Simona
Published: August 2024

This paper will analyse the Italian dubbing of Edgar Allan Poe Poems in the gothic horror drama “The Fall of the House of Usher” (2023) by Mike Flanagan. Specifically, the poems that will be analysed are “Annabel Lee” and “The City in the Sea”. The analysis will be pursued following a qualitative approach. Poems will be examined individually, and the original English version will be compared to the Italian dubbing through a detailed discourse analysis. Particular attention was given to the level of literary rendering in the Italian version, lip movement visibility and the overall changes detected within the two versions of the poems. The two poems have been translated largely literally in the Italian version. Examining the results, it can be confirmed that the lip movement had a minor influence on the translation choices. The Italian dubbed version maintains the original meaning of the poem coherently with the scenes and contexts in which these are recited in the miniseries.

En este texto se reporta la validación de una versión de la escala de teorías implícitas de comprensión lectora (eticolec), modificada para futuros docentes de español de una universidad pública de la Península de Yucatán y describimos las teorías implícitas encontradas en la muestra. Seguimos el procedimiento de Prat y Doval (2005) para incorporar nuevos ítems a la escala y poner a prueba sus propiedades psicométricas mediante análisis de componentes principales y de consistencia interna con alfa de Cronbach, utilizando el programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, v. 26). Además de registrarse propiedades psicométricas, el estudio identificó tres subescalas con buena consistencia interna, cada una de las cuales mide una teoría implícita o conjunto de creencias sobre la comprensión lectora. Algunos participantes sostienen más de una teoría implícita, en tanto que un grupo más grande no sustentan ninguna. Ello puede tener implicaciones para sus procesos de alfabetización académico disciplinar y su futura práctica docente.

Reconstituted Bamboo Scrimbers Prepared from Bambusa tulda with Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) Adhesive for Structural Applications
Authors: Dhyani Nirmal
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This study investigates the physical and mechanical properties of reconstituted bamboo scrimbers prepared from Bambusa tulda bamboo, also known as Indian timber bamboo or Bengal bamboo. The preparation involves varying pressure levels (21.0, 24.5, 28.0, and 31.5 kg/cm2 ) with phenol formaldehyde (PF) adhesive using a hydraulic hot press. The study explores the change in mechanical and physical properties of bamboo scrimbers under varying specific pressures, which significantly reduces moisture content, increases density, and enhances resistance to water absorption and swelling. Mechanically, it improves properties such as modulus of rupture (MOR), modulus of elasticity (MOE), compression parallel to the grain, hardness, and screw-holding capacity. The results position the reconstituted bamboo scrimbers in the super group (IS:3629-1986) in stress grading (MOR & MOE) at all tested specific pressures, surpassing raw bamboo strength properties as well as conventional standard timber, including Teak (Tectona grandis). The results demonstrate remarkable properties comparable to species like Sal (Shorea robusta), Khair (Acacia catechu), and Teak (Tectona grandis) in various mechanical properties. This research highlights the potential of bamboo-based materials over conventional timber in construction and for sustainable development. Future studies on different adhesives and pressure levels could further enhance their economic sustainability.

Published: August 2024

Com o avanço das tecnologias e a crescente importância das informações na sociedade contemporânea, tornou-se necessário o gerenciamento seguro e responsável de dados. Em resposta a essa necessidade, legislaturas em todo o mundo elaboraram normas de proteção de dados pessoais para salvaguardar o direito à privacidade. No Brasil, a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD), Lei nº 13.709, de 14 de agosto de 2018, regulamenta esse assunto. Agentes de tratamento de pequeno porte, como controladores e operadores de dados pessoais, podem enfrentar desafios em conformidade com a LGPD devido ao seu tamanho, requerendo intervenção da Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) para efetuar ajustes normativos. Empresas de saúde, em especial, devem priorizar a conformidade com a LGPD, dada a natureza sensível dos dados de saúde que manipulam continuamente. Este estudo visa avaliar a aplicação da LGPD em clínicas odontológicas do Distrito Federal e da Bahia. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. A coleta dos dados empregou entrevistas com 10 cirurgiões-dentistas. Identificaram-se categorias de adequação, incluindo conhecimento da LGPD, políticas de segurança da informação, conscientização e treinamento interno, controle de acesso, segurança e armazenamento de dados pessoais, e especificidades do cotidiano em clínicas odontológicas. As análises revelaram que, apesar da natureza da área, há um conhecimento limitado sobre a LGPD entre os profissionais, destacando a falta de familiaridade com essa legislação. Os resultados têm relevância tanto para os profissionais odontológicos quanto para as autoridades encarregadas da aplicação da lei no país.

Published: August 2024

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el efecto del tipo y la intensidad de utilización de pasto buffel cultivado en condiciones naturales de lluvia o riego en la producción y valor nutritivo de la materia seca. Dieciséis parcelas (cada una de 64 m2) fueron pastoreadas por ganado Charolais para obtener una intensidad de utilización del 50 % (G50%) o de 75 % (G75%). Ocho parcelas (40 m2 cada una) se recortaron a mano hasta 50 % (H50%). La cosecha anual de forraje fue mayor (P<0.05) para G50 que para H50 (1,491 vs 954 kg de MS/ha). No se encontraron diferencias (P>0.05) en la producción de materia seca por hectárea entre G50 y G75 (1,707 vs 954 kg de MS/ha). El riego aumentó un 22 % (P<0.05) la producción de materia seca comparado con secano (1,524 vs 1,245 kg de MS/ha). No se encontraron diferencias (P>0.05) debido al tipo y la intensidad de utilización en el contenido de PC, NDF y ADF, sin embargo, la ADF aumentó (P<0.05) en las parcelas irrigadas. De la misma manera la digestibilidad in vitro de la MS fue mayor (P<0.05) en H50 que en las parcelas de pastoreo G50 y G75 (55.7, 53.0 y 52.7%). Se concluye que la producción de zacate buffel se incrementó con el pastoreo, pero la DIVMS fue mejor en el forraje recortado manualmente.

Published: August 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo fue estimar los componentes de varianza y correlaciones genéticas para la producción de leche (PLe), el flujo medio (FMd), el flujo máximo (FMx) y la conductividad eléctrica (CE) de la leche, en un sistema de ordeño robotizado. Se analizaron 137 lactaciones de 110 vacas Holstein primíparas y multíparas, con 42,009 observaciones, desde el año 2018 hasta el 2020 en un hato lechero en el estado de Querétaro. Se realizó la evaluación genética utilizando un modelo animal de regresión mixta. Para estimar la heredabilidad (h2) se utilizó el algoritmo de máxima verosimilitud restringida para calcular los componentes de varianza, el estimador BLUE y el predictor BLUP, para cada una de las variables sujetas en la investigación. La h2 estimada para PLe (0.62) fue la más alta de las calculadas, de igual modo se estimó la h2 para FMd (0.44), FMx (0.33) y CE (0.28); se considera que uno de los aspectos que influyó en los valores obtenidos se debió a la variabilidad de cada observación diaria. Las correlaciones genéticas para la PLe fueron negativas para el FMd (-0.6117) y FMx (-0.7666); en contraste, para la característica de CE (-0.1669) la correlación fue baja. Las correlaciones genéticas estimadas para FMx fueron positivas para FMd (0.7422) y CE (0.5351), finalmente se estimó una correlación genética positiva para FMd y CE (0.3546). Los resultados presentados permiten entender las relaciones existentes entre flujo, conductividad y producción e indican la importancia de estas características para un programa de selección genética.

Published: August 2024

El objetivo del trabajo fue tipificar unidades productivas de doble propósito y caracterizar los recursos para la producción de forrajes y los problemas que afectan a la ganadería en Sinaloa, México. Mediante muestreo no probabilístico se seleccionaron 61 ranchos de ocho municipios del estado de Sinaloa, a través de análisis factorial y análisis clúster fueron identificados cuatro grupos de productores: E1, E2, E3 y E4. Los productores tienen diversos usos de la tierra para la producción de forrajes: siembra de cultivos anuales, praderas, pastoreo en tierras en descanso y uso del agostadero. La sequía es el principal problema para el 52.5 % de los productores. Los productores que cuentan con mayor tamaño de hato (E3 y E4) tienen mayor superficie agrícola y agostadero; sin embargo, presentan una mayor vulnerabilidad en sus sistemas de producción, por lo que tienen que recurrir a la compra de forrajes. El 86.7 % de los productores señaló que el hato ha disminuido por el problema de la sequía, por lo que se requiere del desarrollo de estrategias tecnológicas y políticas para mejorar la producción de forrajes bajo el contexto de cambio climático, y así disminuir la presión y posible deterioro de la superficie agrícola y el agostadero en la región de estudio.

Las plántulas tienen un papel importante en el mantenimiento de la diversidad, la productividad y los ciclos biogeoquímicos de los pastizales de cualquier zona geográfica. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre la influencia de los factores ambientales en el establecimiento de plántulas, así como sobre las diferencias en el desarrollo morfológico entre las especies. Comprender el establecimiento de plántulas se vuelve de crucial importancia para mejorar el éxito de la resiembra en pastizales. Esta revisión de literatura investigó los factores que causan fallas en el establecimiento de gramíneas en condiciones de pastizales. Germinar una semilla de pasto no es un gran problema si exixten condiciones ambientales óptimas. La clave es garantizar la supervivencia y crecimiento de estas plántulas hasta la madurez fisiológica. Los principales factores ambientales asociados con fallas en el establecimiento de plántulas son la humedad, temperatura ambiental, preparación de la cama de siembra, calidad de semillas, entre los principales son. Los estudios revisados mostraron que los pastos anuales tienen mayores tasas de crecimiento, sin embargo, presentan una menor asignación a las estructuras reproductivas en comparación con pastos perenes. Estas diferencias también promueven diferentes tasas de supervivencia de plántulas, con los pastos anuales presentando tasas más altas en comparación a pastos bianuales o perenes. Aparentemente, la causa principal de las fallas de las plántulas en el establecimiento está relacionada con la exploración de suelo de las raíces adventicias. Donde los informes describen que las plántulas emergen rápida y abundantemente en la mayoría de los pastos, pero las plántulas mueren entre las seis y diez semanas de edad. Popr lo que se deduce que la planta puede germinar y germinar las raíces primarias, sin embargo, por una razón desconocida, el pasto no brota la raíz adventicia.

El valle del río Timaná, ubicado en el sur del departamento del Huila en el Alto Magdalena, es por tradición el epicentro de los episodios legendarios de La Gaitana y su parentela cacical en su lucha contra la invasión y agresión española a comienzos del siglo XVI. Este informe es resultado de la investigación arqueológica sobre la historia del desarrollo social y cultural prehispánico, con énfasis en aspectos relacionados con la persistencia de los conflictos intra e interregionales; consecuencia probable de las disposiciones emprendidas para consolidar y posibilitar la permanencia del liderazgo político central local en el valle y como respuesta a las pretensiones de expansión de entidades políticas cacicales vecinas. Para obtener la información necesaria se implementó la técnica del reconocimiento regional sistemático que proporcionó valiosos datos sobre la integración política y cómo esta respondía a la modalidad económica fundamental de la formación social tributaria cacical.
Socio-economic sustainability of municipalities: Research methodology and experience
Authors: Gorfinkel Ilya
Published: August 2024

Introduction. The issue of socio-economic sustainability of territories has been studied in depth in the scientific literature. This concerns both the concept of socio-economic sustainability itself and its application to the analysis of regional and municipal development. Various aspects of socio-economic sustainability are also addressed in a significant number of territorial ratings currently available on the information market and published by both government agencies and non-governmental structures – analytical centers, rating agencies (RA), and mass media. Most of these information and analytical products relate to the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. A striking example is the rating of regions for the implementation of the federal project “Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment” from the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation. This series also includes the rating of the quality of life in the regions from the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), the rating of the socio-economic sustainability of regions from the Civil Society Development Fund, the rating of the socio-economic development of regions from RIA Novosti, the rating of the investment attractiveness of regions from RA Expert, and a number of others. A significantly smaller number of such products relate to the municipal level. And this is a big problem of practical and scientific nature, which, in the author's opinion, can be overcome by the developed assessment of the socio-economic sustainability of Russian municipalities.

Materials and methods. The presented study used indicators of socio-economic and electoral statistics of municipalities relating to 2022-2023. The main source is Rosstat data. In addition, information contained on the official websites or in the official publications of regional and municipal authorities was used. The work used universal methods of scientific knowledge: analysis, synthesis, generalization.

Results. The result of the study was regional ratings of the socio-economic sustainability of municipalities in five subjects of the Russian Federation within the Ural Federal District: Sverdlovsk, Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions, Khanty-Mansiysk – Yugra and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs.

Over the last decade, the circular economy has emerged as a promising alternative model aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, waste, and resource depletion through a series of practices focused on resource and energy efficiency (Almeida-Guzmán & Díaz-Guevara, 2020). This model optimizes linear production and consumption systems to establish processes in which material flows are used cyclically along with renewable energy sources, thereby creating new business models. Moreover, circular models limit material flows to sustainable levels, respecting ecosystem cycles and natural reproduction rates, while integrating environmentally responsible economic processes (Korhonen et al., 2018). Consequently, the circular economy has a direct impact on the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental.
Ten Pillars of Q-Methodological Wisdom
Authors: Stephenson William
Published: August 2024

This article derives from the first of two “keynote” presentations by William Stephenson to the first Summer Institute for the Scientific Study of Subjectivity (effectively the first Q methodology conference, held at the School of Journalism, University of Missouri-Columbia in July 1985). It outlines and assesses the significance of what, late in his life, William Stephenson regarded as his most important unpublished manuscripts. It affords an important means of access to Stephenson’s subjectivity, to how he regarded the different strands of his work, and to those aspects of his work he felt were incomplete and in need of revision. It demonstrates both the extraordinarily broad range of his writings and his single-minded, life-long determination to develop a science of subjectivity.
Conflictividad en torno a la política lingüística de Asturias
Authors: Caballero Caballero Violeta
Published: August 2024

Este artículo tiene como objeto de estudio la política lingüística del Principado de Asturias. El análisis se realizará desde la perspectiva de la sociolingüística para la paz, un campo de estudio interdisciplinario que incluye la sociolingüística y los estudios para la paz. Aunque esta disciplina cuenta con un breve desarrollo teórico, su implementación puede contribuir significativamente al análisis de las violencias (socio)lingüísticas, así como a las posibles manifestaciones de paz en los conflictos identitarios. El estudio de la política o planificación lingüística es fundamental para comprender la conflictividad sociocultural. Esto se debe a que la planificación lingüística es también una forma de planificación social. Considerando el papel de la lengua como marcador de diferenciación en las identidades contemporáneas, las leyes que regulan su uso afectan directamente el plano identitario de una comunidad. En el caso asturiano, la política lingüística es casi inexistente, lo que relega el uso de la lengua propia a los espacios privados. Además, se observa cómo la lengua asturiana desaparece paulatinamente a favor del castellano. Precisamente por esta razón, una de las principales demandas de los hablantes de asturiano es la oficialidad lingüística. Esta investigación tiene dos objetivos principales. El primero es contribuir a la expansión de una sociolingüística para la paz y mostrar sus potencialidades en el análisis de los conflictos sociolingüísticos. El segundo es revelar las implicaciones socioculturales que puede acarrear una política lingüística insuficiente, como la asturiana.
Cuando el patrimonio cultural pertenece a Estados y expertos
Authors: Ballesteros Materon Maria Camila
Published: August 2024

Lo que podemos decir sobre la idea de patrimonio responde a la propagación de ciertos principios promovidos por agencias internacionales como la Unesco. Estos principios se centran en defender el valor “intrínseco” del patrimonio cultural mediante justificaciones universalistas. En este sentido, el presente artículo busca evidenciar que las lecturas autorizadas sobre el legado cultural tienden a promover visiones que homogeneizan las discusiones internacionales en esta materia. Además, se examinará cómo las reglas del juego en relación con el patrimonio son establecidas unilateralmente por los actores estatales y las redes tecnocráticas de expertos. De esto se deriva una pregunta de reflexión sobre las posibilidades de armonizar una narrativa única sobre el patrimonio con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, que aspiran tener un impacto global en la mejora de la calidad de vida de miles personas en todo el mundo. Dentro de las estrategias de análisis propuestas se encuentran, por un lado, ofrecer una vista panorámica de la literatura más relevante sobre el tema del patrimonio. Por otro lado, proponer, a partir de una metodología genealógica, el desvelamiento de las relaciones de poder presentes en la construcción y reproducción del discurso dominante sobre el patrimonio. Por último, en la sección final del trabajo, se propone esclarecer la relación entre la protección del patrimonio cultural y el cumplimiento de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible.
Análisis crítico del proyecto de ley PL106 de 2023 que reforma el régimen concursal en comparación con la ley vigente 1116 de 2006
Authors: Arboleda Montalvo Jorge Andrés
Published: August 2024

El nuevo Proyecto de Ley es un texto radicado ante el Congreso de la República y actualmente en trámite. Busca incorporar de manera permanente en el marco jurídico los Decretos Legislativos 560 y 772 de 2020. El estudio compara reflexivamente este proyecto con la actual ley de insolvencia, con el objetivo de realizar un análisis crítico de ambos textos legislativos, evaluando sus fortalezas, debilidades y el impacto potencial en el entorno empresarial colombiano. Aunque ambos textos, en esencia, buscan proteger el crédito y facilitar la recuperación de empresas en Colombia, se concluye que el legislador pretende modernizar el régimen de insolvencia y ofrecer una segunda oportunidad a las empresas. Esto se lograría mediante la reorganización empresarial, acercando la insolvencia a nuevos mecanismos más accesibles, flexibles y tecnológicos. La Ley 1116 de 2006 resguarda la viabilidad económica de las empresas y fomenta la generación de empleo a través de procesos de reorganización y liquidación judicial. Por otro lado, el Proyecto de Ley PL 106 de 2023 pretende establecer de forma permanente las medidas implementadas por los Decretos Legislativos 560 y 772 de 2020, junto con los Decretos Reglamentarios 842 y 1332 de 2020, en materia de insolvencia empresarial, incorporando tecnología. Sin embargo, aún es muy pronto para realizar un análisis más profundo.

Published: August 2024

Recently orthodontics in elderly people is continually increasing due to aging of the society arising from decrease of birth rate as well as death rate. As the elderly population grows, needs for oral health care increases, and elderly patients with poor teeth alignment need more attention with orthodontic treatment. Our study analyzes various treatment protocols for different cases of aged orthodontic patients, and following are considerations in orthodontic treatment of elderly patients. 1. Periodontal treatment should be preceded before orthodontic treatment. 2. Periodontal condition should be considered when selecting teeth for extraction 3. In dealing with the residual prosthesis, condition of prosthesis, anchorage availability, and need for size reduction, patient seconomic status should be taken into consideration. 4. Fixed retainers are recommended for retention.
Impacted tooth treatment with modified Nance appliance
Authors: Mun Cheol-Hyeon , Lee Dong-Geun
Published: August 2024

Traction of impacted tooth often requires patient compliance to place elastics to surgically exposed impacted tooth. It can be very difficult and time-consuming. The aim of this article was to describe an impacted tooth tractor, Moon's appliance, which was modified from the Nance holding arch appliance. Moon's appliance eliminates patient compliance and generates a light continuous force. We achieved the desired treatment results for impacted tooth using this appliance. This new fixed appliance can be a reasonable alternative to conventional appliances.
The experimental study of the effect of the hybrid instrumentation method with ProTaper and ProFile on the change of root canal area and distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the hybrid instrumentation method with ProTaper and ProFile on the change of root canal area and distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping. The mesial canals of twenty extracted mandibular first molars having 10-20°Delta curvature were scanned using X-ray microcomputed tomography (XMCT)-scanner before root canals were instrumented. They were divided into four groups (n=10 canals ter group). In Group 1, root canals were instrumented by the step-back technique with stainless steel K-Flexofile after coronal flaring. The remainders were instrumented by the crown-down technique with, ProTaper system (Group 2), ProFile (Group 3) or ProTaper (Group 4). All canals were prepared up to size 25 at the end-point of preparation and scanned again. Pre- and post-operative cross-sectional images of 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apical foramen were compared. For each level, change of cross-sectional canal are and distance to the nearest external root surface was calculated using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and image software program. In the change of cross-sectional area, Group 4 was less than Group 2 at 3 mm and 5 mm level (p<0.05). In the difference of the distance from the canal to the root surface after canal shaping, Group 4 was least among the other groups at 7 mm level (p<0.05). According to the results, the methods using ProFile or K file only and the hybrid instrumentation technique using ProTaper and ProFile are more appropriate methods of canal preparation than ProTaper system for narrow of curved canals.
