Surviving in the cut-throat marketing strategies is a challenging task for the marketers. Not only theoretically but also in practice social media networks are every second changing platforms. Every second the news get updated so as the people. In such a fast changing environment and among a great competition it is the pro-activeness of the company to advertise the company’s product and grab attention through social media as well with other marketing tools. Almost 3 out of 5 person use social media on daily basis and creativity factors gave an incredible contribution for the grabbing attention of the users towards the ads. Research paper suggests the ways of creative elements that will contribute to generate the presence of the brand and its identification on social media platform. A relation between the demographic variables and their impact on the effectiveness of such ads. There is a brief description about the findings which shows that there no much impact of demographic factors on the opinion about the effect of sponsored ads and its impact. An initiative of this paper to make designers understand the preference of the social media users and the various findings help them to make their design more compatible for social media\ frequency analysis and chi-square test are used to get these findings.
Asociación del control glucémico con la disfunción eréctil en pacientes diabéticos
Authors: García Juan Juan Figueroa
Published: February 2022

ANTECEDENTES: la disfunción eréctil es la incapacidad para conseguir y mantener una erección que permita una penetración sexual satisfactoria en 50% de las veces, en un periodo de tres meses. Entre las causas orgánicas, la diabetes mellitus representa 30%. A pesar de esta relación la prevalencia es poco conocida en nuestro medio.OBJETIVO: determinar la asociación entre el control glucémico y la disfunción eréctil en diabéticos.MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio observacional, transversal y analítico al que se incluyeron pacientes que no refirieron complicaciones al momento del estudio. A todos se les aplicó el cuestionario IIFE-5 (Índice Internacional de la Función Eréctil) para detectar si padecían o no disfunción eréctil, se compararon las concentraciones de hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), y se analizó su asociación mediante la aplicación de la razón de momios.RESULTADOS: en 362 pacientes se encontró una prevalencia de disfunción eréctil de 72.3% (n=272), de estos 80.9% (n=212) estaban en descontrol glucémico, con una razón de momios de 6.92 (IC95%: 4.16 a 11.50).CONCLUSIONES: en los pacientes diabéticos existe una relación 7:1 de probabilidad de disfunción eréctil versus pacientes con adecuado control glucémico.PALABRAS CLAVE: diabetes mellitus, disfunción eréctil, hemoglobina glucosilada, control glucémico.  AbstractBACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve and maintain an erection that enables satisfactory sexual penetration 50% of the time, within a 3-month period. Diabetes mellitus is the organic cause in 30% of cases, but despite this relation, the prevalence of erectile dysfunction is not well known in Mexico.OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between glycemic control and erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional, analytic study included diabetic patients that did not complain of complications at the time of the study. The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire was applied to detect whether or not the patients presented with erectile dysfunction. Their glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels were compared and the association with erectile dysfunction was analyzed through the odds ratio.RESULTS: The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in 362 patients was 72.3% (n=272). Of those patients with erectile dysfunction, 80.9% (n=212) had inadequate glycemic control, with an odds ratio of 6.92 (95% CI: 4.16 to 11.50).CONCLUSIONS: The odds ratio of presenting with erectile dysfunction for diabetic men with inadequate glycemic control and patients with adequate glycemic control was 7:1.KEY WORDS: Diabetes mellitus; Erectile dysfunction; Glycated hemoglobin; Glycemic control

Authors: Marchetti Michela , Gatti Daniele , Inguscio Lucio , Mazzoni Giuliana
Published: February 2022

Background

After a year from the emergence of COVID-19 in February 2020, between March and May 2021 Italy faced its third wave of infections. Previous studies have shown that in the first phases of the pandemic certain factors had a protective effect against distress. However, little is known regarding the role of possible protective variables after prolonged pandemic situa-tions.

Material and methods

454 Italian adults were asked questions regarding the intensity of mental states and emotions experienced, the perceived usefulness of lockdown, the feeling of living a normal life, and the coping strategies implemented to face the pandemic.

Results

Our findings indicate that the presence of acceptance attitudes toward restrictive measures and the implementation of rec-reational activities helped participants face a prolonged pandemic with positive emotions.

Conclusions

These results extend previous findings about the impact of several behavioral variables on individuals’ mental states and emotions experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy.

Authors: Elango S. , Prema S. , Vijayakumar A.R. , Sravani N. , Nagarajan K. , Vijayalakshmi G.
Published: February 2022

Introduction

Tuberculosis is quite common in India. About 40% of all Indians are infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis, with 2.5 million active tuberculosis cases. Tuberculosis primarily affects the lungs, but it can affect any organ. Extra-pulmonary involvement occurs 15-20% of cases in immune-competent patients and in more than 50% in HIV patients. The most common extra-pulmonary sites are lymph nodes, pleura, abdomen, genitourinary tract, skin, joints and bones, or meninges.

Case reports

In this pictorial review article we present 8 atypical cases of tuberculosis and describe their imaging features and histopathology.

Conclusions

Extra-pulmonary tuberculosis can affect virtually any organ and can mimic various inflammatory and neoplastic disorders apart from other infective conditions. A strong index of suspicion is required particularly in those countries endemic to tuberculosis.
Ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation of rotator cuff calcific tendinosis. What radiologist should know
Authors: Chianca Vito , Di Pietto Francesco , Albano Domenico , Corvino Antonio , Del Grande Filippo
Published: February 2022

Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy is a common condition caused by the presence of calcification into the rotator cuff or in the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa. The pathogenetic mechanism of this pathology is still debated. Calcific tendinitis frequently affects the rotator cuff and may cause shoulder pain and reduction of range of motion. It can be diagnosed with conventional radiography, ultrasound, or magnetic resonance imaging. The first therapeutic option includes conservative management based on rest, physical therapy, and oral non-steroid anti-inflammatory admini­stration. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is a noninvasive technique that can be useful for the fragmentation of calcific deposits. Imaging-guided percutaneous irrigation is currently considered the gold standard technique for the treatment of calcific tendinitis due to its minimal invasiveness and its success rate of about 80%.

Published: February 2022

Introduction

Smartphone use has progressively increased worldwide in the recent few years, with has raised the incidence of musculoskeletal problems related to smartphone overuse. Neck pain is common in subjects practising various occupational and recreational activities. This study investigated the effects of deep cervical flexor muscles exercises with corrective instructions for smartphone use on neck pain and disability in smartphone addicted users.

Methods

Overall, 40 subjects suffering from mechanical neck pain were randomly assigned to group A, who performed deep cervical flexor exercises and were given instructions regarding the correct smartphone use, and to group B, who maintained their routine physical activities during the study period, without any further advice. Neck pain intensity was measured with the visual analogue scale, while neck disability was evaluated with the Neck Disability Index.

Results

The dependent t-test showed a significant post-treatment reduction (p < 0.001) in neck pain and disability in group A, while no significant differences (p > 0.05) were found in group B. The independent t-test declared no significant pre-treatment differences (p > 0.05) between groups in the measured variables; after treatment, it revealed a significant reduction (p < 0.001) in neck pain and disability in group A compared with group B.

Conclusions

Regular practice of deep cervical flexor muscles training in addition to following corrective instructions for smartphone use constitutes an effective therapeutic tool in decreasing neck pain and disability in smartphone addicted users.

Introduction

Obesity is a disease that adversely affects quality of life, mortality and morbidity and it is associated with a sedentary lifestyle. This study evaluated the effect of circuit-exercise training on the cardiorespiratory indices, body image, and body composition in obese undergraduate students.

Methods

Ninety obese undergraduates (69 females and 21 Males) were assigned to either a circuit-exercise training group/study or a non-exercise/control group. The exercise program comprised of 40 minutes of circuit-training (resistance and aerobic) sessions, performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Participants rotated between stations with 20 seconds rest in between; as well as warm up and cool down periods. Moderate exercise-intensity was performed at 50%–70% of the age-predicted heart rate reserve. Pre (baseline) and post (at 6 weeks) values of cardiovascular parameters, body image, and body composition parameters were evaluated. Demographic data were summarized with descriptive statistics while significant differences within and between groups were determined using paired and independent sample t-tests, respectively. Statistical significance was accepted for all tests at a value of p < 0.05.

Results

Findings from the results showed no significant difference in the mean body image, body mass index, and waist-hip ratio between the groups (p > 0.05). A significant difference was observed between the groups (p < 0.05) in the mean aerobic capacity, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, percentage body fat, and muscle mass.

Conclusions

A 6-week circuit training had a favorable but not significant effect on body image. Aerobic capacity, cardiovascular parameters, and some body composition parameters had significant changes.

Dizziness in children and adolescents
Authors: Suh Eun Sook
Published: February 2022

Background: Dizziness in children is a common cause for a visit to the pediatric outpatient department. The reported prevalence is 6% to 8% but evaluating the symptoms in children who cannot clearly explain and describe their experience is challenging.Current Concepts: The most common causes of dizziness in children and adolescents—which account for approximately 35% of the cases—are benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood and vestibular migraine. These two diseases and head trauma are the primary causes of dizziness in over 50% of the cases. A thorough history-taking is key for the diagnosis of dizziness in children and adolescents. Additionally, a complete physical examination, including ear and neurologic tests, is essential.Discussion and Conclusion: As the department of pediatrics includes children and adolescents, the number of young patients presenting with dizziness is continuously increasing. This article presents the general definition, etiology, diagnosis, treatment strategies, and recommendations for the management of dizziness in children and adolescents. Further studies are warranted to differentiate the cause of dizziness in children. Moreover, drug abuse related to dizziness and headaches shouldn’t be underdiagnosed at schools or in the community.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Chelidonium 3X in the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia in terms of changes in the blood cholesterol levels in order to determine the extent to which homoeopathic medicine could be used in the treatment of this condition. It was hoped that there would be a drop i n the total cholesterol levels and an increase in the ratio of high density / low density lipoprotein. Participants in the trial were drawn from the staff at Technikon Natal, convenience sampling being used. For acceptance into the trial, 'participants had to have an elevated total cholesterol level together with a raised low density lipoprotein value according to age. Drawing of blood was performed following an overnight fast. Of those participants meeting the above criteTicrthirty were chosen to participate in the trial. Half constituted the control and were given a placebo and the other half made up the experimental group and were treated with Chelidonium 3X. This was a double blind study with the medicine being dispensed on a random basis by a qualified pharmacist. After commencement of the trial venous blood was collected once a month for three consecutive months from both the control and experimental groups. The participants were asked to make no changes to their normal lifestyle. Statistical analysis of the results using paired T-tests revealed no statistical difference between the initial and final total cholesterol or ratio reading of the control group. However, with the experimental group a statistical difference was noted between both the initial and final total cholesterol reading

The purpose of this double-blind study was to assess the efficacy of homoeopathic treatment of cellulite in conjunction with massage as opposed to massage alone. Of the patients responding to the advertising done by the Department of Homoeopathy, Technikon Natal, 20 eligible patients were accepted into the study and were randomly assigned to two equal groups. The first group received homoeopathic Natrum sulphuricum 9 Cll, twice daily, in conjunction with twice weekly massages. The second group were given placebo pills and also had massages twice weekly. The participants were assessed four times: initially, after eight massages (one month of treatment), sixteen massages (two months of treatment) and after twenty-four massages (three months). The assessment consisted of: percentage body fat (assessed by measuring skin folds on predesignated locations using callipers), body mass index (calculated using the height and weight of the participants) as well as girth measurements (taken at the waist, the hips, the buttocks as well as both thighs). The data was then tabulated and analysed using SGPLUS computer-aided data analysis. Non-parametric tests were used to establish statistical significance. However no statistical differences were found between the two groups or within the groups.

Liver transplant is known to be the only radical treatment for patients with end-stage liver diseases. It is known that cardiovascular diseases rank third among patients, who underwent liver transplant. Due to the current generally accepted policy of aggressive treatment of hypercholesterolemia, mortality from cardiovascular diseases has been significantly reduced in general population. Statin therapy has also demonstrated a de- creasing effect on mortality among patients with chronic liver failure. Recently published research results have shown the increasing occurrence of non-com- municable diseases among liver recipients, including diseases that determine cardiovascular mortality (arterial hypertension, chronic coronary syndrome, chronic heart failure, chronic kidney failure). This evidence demonstrates that in post-operative period doctors should do their best to identify not only traditional risk factors of acute transplant rejection, but also pay attention to cardiovascular risks and their timely treatment. Based on the data about a number of differences in the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors and on the specifics of confirmation and treatment of chronic coronary heart disease in liver transplant recipients in comparison with the general population, we believe that in transplant centers it is necessary to develop a specialized algorithm of dispensary follow-up of recipients (checklist) for adequate prevention of diseases of the circulatory system.
ANGINA WITHOUT OBSTRUCTIVE LESION CORONARY ARTERIES (Part 1). PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT
Authors:   Scientific and Practical Centre Cardiology, S.Р. Solovey
Published: February 2022

Angina pectoris is one of the most common symptoms of ischemic heart disease (IHD). Coronary angiography in a significant part of patients with angina pectoris and signs of myocardial ischemia does not reveal obstructive atherosclerotic changes in the coronary arteries. Independent or additional mechanisms of ischemia can be microvascular dysfunction and epicardial coronary vasospasm. The clinical form of ischemic heart disease, which is based on ischemia caused by dysfunction of the coronary vessels in the absence of obstructive changes, has recently received the definition of INOCA (Ischaemia with No Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease). The concept of INOCA comprises two types of angina pectoris – mi- crovascular and vasospastic. The underlying INOCA coronary vasomotor disorders have both different pathophysiological mechanisms and localization in the vascular system of the coronary circulation itself. Clinically the most important vasomotor disorders are epicardial and microvascular vasospasm, impaired microvascular vasodilation. The article provides a brief overview of the mechanisms of regulation of coronary blood flow under physiological conditions and vascular dysfunction in non-obstructive atherosclerotic lesions.
ASCENDING AORTA WRAPPING IN SURGICAL CORRECTION OF AORTIC VALVE DISEASE
Authors:   Republican Scientific and Practical Center Cardiology, D. Bozhko
Published: February 2022

Objective: To study the results of surgical treatment of patients with ascending aorta dilatation and aortic valve disease. Methods: Echocardiographic examination was performed in all patients before surgery, within 1 month after surgery, and in the long-term period - once a year. Computed tomography was performed in patients from the main group as a control research method within 1 month after surgery and in the long-term period – once a year. Results: The results of surgical treatment of 255 patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aorta dilatation from 40 to 55 mm in the early postoperative and long-term periods with an average follow-up period of 3 years were analyzed. The wrapping method of the ascending aorta, performed in 93 patients, led to a significant decrease in the ascending aorta diameter from 45.47±2.96 mm to 35.98±3.88 mm, preventing the progression of its dilatation and aneurysm formation. The method showed a lower risk of complications in the early postoper- ative period compared to ascending aorta replacement. In the long-term follow-up, the frequency of major cardiovascular events and overall survival after aorta wrapping and aorta replacement in combination with correction of the aortic valve pathology did not differ significantly. After aorta wrapping, according to com- puted tomography, during the observation period, there were no complications from the ascending aorta in the form of dissection, intimal defects, wrap dislocation, aorta kinking; there was no significant calcification of the xenopericardial wrap. Conclusion: Ascending aorta wrapping can be performed as an alternative method of surgical treatment of the ascending aorta dilatation in aortic valve surgery in a certain cohort of patients with good results in the early postoperative and long-term follow-up periods.

The article describes current approaches to the interventional treatment of patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) complicated with paroxys- mal sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). The advantages and disadvantages of two competing methods for mappingandablation – activation mappingvs substrate mapping– are analyzed. The rationale for the proposedmethodof VT substrate mapping in ACM and the authors’ own results are presented. The results obtained by the authors make it possible to recommend substrate ablation according to the proposed technique as an invasive first-line therapy for patients with persistent monomorphic VT and ACM.

The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of high residual platelet reactivity in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), depending on the age and reperfusion therapy at different times from the onset of MI. Methods. The study included 129 patients with acute Q-MI divided into subgroups (SG) depending on age: SG1 (31-44 years) – 14 persons (10.8%), SG2 (45-59 years) – 54 (41,9%), SG3 (60–74 years) – 61 (47,3%). All patients received thrombolytic therapy (TLT), and then 99 patients underwent delayed percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Platelet aggregation was assessed using a Multiplate impedance aggregometer (Germany) with several aggregation inducers. The data were analyzed using the STATISTICA 10.0 package and R 4.1 programming language. Results. The analysis of aggregatograms in patients of the general group revealed the following indicators: 1ASPI-test 19.0 [11.0; 50.5] U, 2ASPI-test 26.0 [18.0; 36.0] U, 3ASPI-test 21.0 [14.0; 30.0] U (p = 0.0003); 1ADP-test 29.0 [16.0; 46.0] U, 2ADP-test 35.0 [25.0; 48.0] U, 3ADP-test 27.0 [21.0; 40.5] U (p = 0.0012); 1TRAP-test 76.0 [57.0; 100.0] U, 2TRAP-test 100.0 [83.5; 116.5] U, 3TRAP-test 90.0 [74.5; 108.0] U (H= 17.82, p< 0.00001). Elevated values of the aggregatogram indicating the presence of high residual platelet reactivity (HRPR) (insufficient response to antiplatelet therapy) were initially detected in 43 patients (33.3%) according to ASPI-test, in 29 patients (22.5%) according to ADP- test, in 20 patients (15.5%) according to ASPI-test +ADP-test, upon the first follow-up examination – in 46 patients (35.6%) according to ASPI-test, in 31 patients (24.0%) according to ADP-test , in 18 patients (13.9%) according to ASPI-test +ADP-test, upon the third follow-up examination, in 30 patients (23.3%) according to ASPI-test, in 20 patients (15.5%) according to ADP-test, in 12 patients (9.3%) by ASPI-test +ADP-test. Thedynamics of changes of the aggregatogram and HRPR in the age subgroups had a similar pattern. Conclusion. The study revealed a high percentage of patients with MI with an insufficient response to acetylsalicylic acid and clopidogrel at dif- ferent times from the onset of MI. There were no differences in the indicators of the aggregatogram depending on the age of the patients. There were no differences in the indicators of the aggregatogram depending on the type of reperfusion therapy performed (only TLT or TLT + PCI). There were no differences in the indicators of the aggregatogram depending on the type of implanted stents.

The article is devoted to a comparative analysis of morphological changes in the tissues of the reproductive system of women under the influence of a neodymium laser and bipolar coagulation during laparoscopic operations. The results of assessing the reliability of differences in morphometric indicators of tissue damage (sections of the fallopian tubes, fragments of ovarian tissue, membranes of benign cystic formations of the ovaries, leiomyomatous nodes of the body of the uterus) under the influence of electro magnetic radiation of various wavelengths are presented. The recorded changes directly depend both on the applied heat or light energy, and on the histological structure of the tissue under study. Fundamental differences in artifactual changes in tissues of the reproductive system were revealed when using bipolar coagulation and laser radiation in surgical practice, and the dependence of morphological changes on the wavelength of a neodymium laser was established for the first time.

Published: February 2022

Abstract. An instrument based on 20 m open-path incoherent broadband cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (IBBCEAS) was established at the Jülich SAPHIR chamber in spring 2011. The setup was optimized for the detection of HONO and NO2 in the near-UV region 352–386 nm, utilizing a bright hot-spot Xe-arc lamp and a UV-enhanced charge-coupled device (CCD) detector. A
2σ detection limit of 26 pptv for HONO and 76 pptv for NO2 was
achieved for an integration time of 1 min. Methacrolein (MACR) was also
detected at mixing ratios below 5 ppbv with an estimated 2σ
detection limit of 340 pptv for the same integration time. The IBBCEAS
instrument's performance for HONO and NO2 detection was compared to
that of extractive wet techniques, long-path absorption photometry (LOPAP),
and chemiluminescence spectrometry (CLS) NOx detection, respectively.
For the combined data sets an overall good agreement for both trend and
absolute mixing ratios was observed between IBBCEAS and these established
instruments at SAPHIR. Correlation coefficients r for HONO range from 0.930 to 0.994 and for NO2 from 0.937 to 0.992. For the single measurement
of MACR r=0.981 is found in comparison to proton-transfer-reaction
mass spectrometry (PTRMS).
Quantification of potential methane emissions associated with organic matter amendments following oxic-soil inundation
Authors: Scott Brian , Baldwin Andrew H. , Yarwood Stephanie A.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. Methane (CH4) emissions are a potent contributor to global warming, and wetlands can be a significant CH4 source. In a microcosm
study, we evaluated how the practice of amending soils with organic matter as part of wetland restoration projects may affect CH4 production
potential. Organic amendments including hay, manure, biosolids, composted yard waste, and wood mulch were evaluated at three different levels. Using
1 L glass microcosms, we measured the production of biogenic gases over 60 d in two soils designated by texture: a sandy loam (SL)
and a sandy clay loam (SCL). Fresh organic amendments increased CH4 production, leading to potentially higher global warming potential and
wetland C loss, and CH4 production was more pronounced in SL. We observed biogenic gas production in two sequential steady-state
phases: Phase 1 produced some CH4 but was mostly carbon dioxide (CO2), followed by Phase 2, 2 to 6 weeks later, with higher total
gas and nearly equal amounts of CH4 and CO2. If this is generally true in soils, it may be appropriate to report CH4
emissions in the context of inundation duration. The CH4 from the SCL soil ranged from
0.003–0.8 cm3kg-1d-1 in Phase 1 to 0.75–28 cm3kg-1d-1 in
Phase 2 and from SL range from 0.03–16 cm3kg-1d-1 in Phase 1 to 1.8–64 cm3kg-1d-1 in
Phase 2. Adding fresh organic matter (e.g., hay) increased concentrations of ferrous iron (Fe2+), whereas in some cases composted organic
matter decreased both Fe2+ concentrations and CH4 production. Methanogenesis normally increases following the depletion of
reducible Fe; however, we observed instances where this was not the case, suggesting other biogeochemical mechanisms contributed to the shift in
gas production.
Particularities of pyroelectric detectors in absolute measurements of chopped radiation shown for the example of a spectral responsivity calibration in the near- and mid-infrared spectral range at two primary radiometric standards
Authors: Pohl Tobias , Meindl Peter , Hollandt Jörg , Johannsen Uwe , Werner Lutz
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) expanded its capabilities for the calibration of the spectral responsivity s(λ) in the spectral range between 1.5 µm and 14 µm, traceable to the International System of Units (SI), with pyroelectric detectors as transfer standards. The pyroelectric transfer standards were calibrated absolutely against two independent primary radiometric standards, regarding their spectral responsivity s(λ). The first approach uses infrared laser sources at one of the PTB's cryogenic substitution radiometer facilities, which is a primary detector standard for the measurement of radiant power. The second approach uses a blackbody radiator with a temperature of about 1200 K, whose radiation can be calculated by Planck's law and is, in addition, spectrally selected by accurately characterized optical bandpass filters. Due to their measurement principle, pyroelectric detectors can only measure
temporal changes in the input radiant power and are, therefore, operated with a chopper wheel to chop the incident radiation. The detector signal, which is typically measured with a lock-in amplifier, depends not only on the amplitude but also on the temporal shape of the chopped radiant power. It is shown that the calculation of the radiant power used for the determination of the spectral responsivity must be based on an accurate approximation of the temporal shape of the chopped radiant flux at the detector. This shape is different for both applied primary methods. It is further shown that the particularities of the lock-in-technique have to be considered in the calculation of the spectral responsivity, including the correct calculation of the detector signal. The results of the calibration with both approaches are consistent, and the
realized measurement uncertainty is in the range between 1 % and 14 %.
The pyroelectric detectors were thereby established as transfer detectors

Gravity disturbance driven ocean circulation
Authors: Chu Peter C.
Published: February 2022

Abstract. The Earth true gravity (g) has been simplified in oceanography and meteorology into the standard gravity gs (= -g0k, g0 = 9.81 m s-2) with k the unit vector perpendicular to the spherical surface or the normal gn [= -g(φ)K] with K the unit vector perpendicular to the ellipsoidal surface. The gravity disturbance (δg = g – gn) due to nonuniform Earth mass density is totally neglected. After including the gravity disturbance into the combined Sverdrup-Stommel-Munk equation for ocean circulation, the volume transport stream-function (Ψ) is driven by both gravity disturbance forcing (GDF) and surface wind forcing (i.e., curl τ) with τ the surface wind stress. The non-dimensional F number (i.e., ratio of global |GDF| versus global |curl τ|) is estimated as 0.6918 using three publicly available datasets in climatological, geodetic, and oceanographic communities. Such an F-value (0.6918) clearly shows the comparable GDF and surface wind stress curl in driving ocean circulation, and the urgency to include the gravity disturbance in ocean dynamics. Besides, this study also cleared up some misconceptions in gravity related valuables such as vertical, geopotential, marine geoid, and dynamic ocean topography.

Tipos y formas de retroalimentación en informes de laboratorio en ingeniería eléctrica: aproximación a la producción de un género de formación
Authors: Venegas René , Ahumada Javiera , Sologuren Insua Enrique
Published: February 2022

La escritura de informes de laboratorio es una práctica evaluativa habitual de los estudiantes de ingeniería, pues permite a los estudiantes desarrollar habilidades de pensamiento empírico, y de este modo, relacionar conceptos con operaciones racionales sistemáticas con el fin de describir y explicar el fenómeno en estudio. Tal como sucede con otros géneros escritos en esta disciplina los estudiantes presentan diversas dificultades en el proceso de representar por escrito la experiencia observada, lo que se manifiesta en el uso de las normas lingüísticas, la adecuación al estilo académico y al género discursivo. Dado lo anterior, la retroalimentación que entregan los evaluadores se convierte en una parte fundamental para que los estudiantes puedan corregir sus falencias y mejorar su nivel de escritura académica. El objetivo general de este artículo es caracterizar los distintos tipos de retroalimentaciones en los informes de laboratorio de mediciones de los estudiantes de Ingeniería Eléctrica de la PUCV. Para ello, se analizaron los comentarios que entregan los evaluadores presentes en 50 informes de laboratorio a partir de tres tipologías de retroalimentación, a saber, las propuestas por Contreras y Zúñiga (2017), Canabal y Margalef (2017), y Guasch, Espasa, Álvarez y Kirschner (2013). Para su categorización, se utilizó el software QSR Nvivo pro 12. Entre los hallazgos se observa variedad de tipos de retroalimentaciones, siendo la correctiva las más frecuente. Esta es usada para comentar aciertos y errores, focalizándose en el contenido, la tarea o el proceso de la tarea. Además, emergen tres nuevos tipos de retroalimentaciones: elogio+mejoría proyectiva, correctiva+sugestiva y correctiva+epistémica. Finalmente, se observa una disminución no lineal en el tiempo de las retroalimentaciones, ello supondría un umbral de mejora en el proceso escritural.
Construcción de la imagen en los foros de los diarios digitales: a propósito de la consulta a la RAE sobre el lenguaje inclusivo y la Constitución española
Authors: Gómez Sánchez M.ª Elena
Published: February 2022

En este trabajo abordaremos la forma en la que se gestionan las actividades de imagen (cortesía, descortesía y autoimagen) en los comentarios de los foros de los diarios ABC, El Mundo y El País a raíz de las informaciones publicadas en estos medios en enero de 2020 sobre la reacción de la entonces vicepresidenta primera del Gobierno de España, Carmen Calvo, acerca del informe de la Real Academia Española (RAE) sobre el lenguaje inclusivo. El análisis ofrece datos sobre el modo en que los comentaristas gestionan su imagen mediante estas actividades, con especial hincapié en las actividades descorteses y de autoimagen, y el modo el que en tales comentarios se reflejan cuestiones relacionadas con la percepción del lenguaje inclusivo y su presencia en la agenda política.
En el interior de una alter-antropología. El perspectivismo amerindio en perspectiva
Authors: Dos Santos Antonela , Tola Florencia
Published: February 2022

Este artículo traza un recorrido por los sentidos que asumió el perspectivismo en la obra del antropólogo Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, uno de sus principales referentes desde 1990. Primero, nos concentramos en las nociones de persona, humano y sociedad tal como son desarrolladas en sus escritos iniciales. Mostramos cómo su etnografía entre los araweté le permitió elaborar temas centrales del perspectivismo amerindio en tanto teoría antropológica. Luego nos adentramos en una segunda etapa de su obra, en la cual el perspectivismo es conceptualizado como metafísica y alter-antropología. Buscamos enfatizar que el perspectivismo no surgió bajo la forma de una teoría metafísica, ya que la etnografía amazónica fue clave en su inspiración; y que tampoco emergió únicamente de la imaginación conceptual de este autor, puesto que dichas postulaciones se insertan en una historia disciplinar comenzada por el precursor del americanismo, Claude Lévi-Strauss. Concluimos poniendo en perspectiva su obra en la antropología contemporánea.

Due to the shortage of autism-specific professional development, the international ASD-EAST project was implemented. This article presents the findings of a quantitative survey undertaken among Polish teachers (in two school settings: special, N=60; mainstream/inclusive, N=30) who attended ASD-EAST workshops. The aim was to identify the post-autism-specific professional development increase of teachers’ knowledge concerning the characteristics of students with ASD and teachers’ subjective confidence regarding their professional competencies. The results showed that the training opportunity was considered by teachers to be important and effective. The results provide grounds for concluding that the programme may be recommended for practical use in order to train teachers who will work with students with ASD

Published: February 2022

Эффект множественной генерации экситонов в низкоразмерных наноструктурах одним фотоном представляет собой возможный путь к повышению эффективности фотоэлектрического преобразования. В этой работе статистическая теория Ферми генерации сильно коррелированных частиц используется для объяснения размерного эффекта генерации множественных экситонов в наностержнях PbSe по сравнению с квантовыми точками. Статистический подход, учитывающий разницу в пороговых энергиях фотонов для размножения носителей в наностержнях по сравнению с квантовыми точками, дает хорошее согласие с экспериментальными значениями квантовых эффективностей.
The awareness of judicial accounting techniques towards the expectations of the external auditor in detecting fraud and its impact on the performance
Authors: Shalaby Azza Helmy Mahmoud , Al-Harkan Ahmad Abdulkareem Mohammad
Published: February 2022

Judicial accounting outputs are reports that guide judges in conflicting parties over financial litigation, supporting judicial cases, and settling and resolving disputes. As a discipline, judicial accounting applies the science and knowledge of accounting, such as finance, taxation and auditing in the form in which the judicial accountant can provide his expert opinion, through the availability of a set of techniques in the field of fraud investigation and support of lawsuits, to investigate the allegations alleged by the relevant parties, especially those allegations related to the existence of fraud, as the objective of the judicial accountant will depend on the purpose of his assignment, including investigating the presence of fraud. The external auditor's reliance on the sampling method when checking financial disclosure and his lack of responsibility for detecting fraud highlights the importance of judicial accounting in detecting fraud by employing a set of techniques, to assist him in detecting fraud. The achievement of its objectives by the judicial accountant also requires set of characteristics such as education, training, diverse experience in the field of accounting, auditing and law, oral and written communication skills, and the ability to work in a team environment. Judicial accounting is based on a range of techniques, for instance, including Benford's law, computer-based audit tools, data mining and analysis to show the role of judicial accounting techniques in the judicial accountant’s awareness of his duties towards the external auditor in detecting fraud and its impact on developing his performance.
Moderation of risk preferences on factors influencing MSME taxpayer compliance in Indonesian digital transactions
Authors: Waluyo Waluyo , Purnami Susila Hesti
Published: February 2022

The advancement of digital technology encourages the growth of MSMEs transacting online. However, the phenomenon shows that the Indonesian tax ratio declines because the tax compliance increase rate does not accompany the potential tax base growth. This study analyzed the determining factors of tax compliance: tax knowledge, tax sanctions, peer influence, and the quality of tax authority services moderated by risk preferences. Because of the data analysis, it was discovered that only tax knowledge had a clear impact and risk preferences had no significant influence on the factors that influenced MSME tax compliance in digital transactions. Limited information circulating citizens about MSME-specific policies in digital commerce and rules that have not been communicated in online marketplaces are the main tasks for tax authorities in Indonesia. This study proposes a model of MSME's tax compliance in a digital transaction.
