The Awakening of Muslim Democracy
Authors: Willoughby Jay
Published: October 2020

Jocelyn Cesari (senior fellow at Georgetown University’s Berkly Center; director,Islam in World Politics program), teaches contemporary Islam at theHarvard Divinity School and directs its Gerogetown-based interfaculty“Islam in the West” program. On March 3 at the IIIT headquarters in Herndon,VA, she elaborated on the topics discussed in her latest book: The Awakeningof Muslim Democracy: Religion, Modernity, and the State (CambridgeUniversity Press: 2014). She explained that this book was based on threeyears of research on state-Islam relations in Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan,and Tunisia.She began her talk by saying that she was interested in “broadening outthe concept of political Islam,” which had existed before the now well-knownmovements and parties in the Muslim world. The key moment in this regardwas the building of nation-states in Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq (under SaddamHussein), and Pakistan. She pointed out how the West was enthusiasticabout Arab Spring, which brought both men and women into the streets withoutsigns proclaiming “Islam” in a “bizarre” manner of protest.She maintained that political Islam cannot be limited only to secularismand the state, for the former, especially in Europe, is supposed to engenderthe decline of religiosity, the movement of religion to the private sphere, andthe separation of religion and state. But all of this is unique to the West becauseIndia, the oft-proclaimed world’s “largest democracy,” is officially secular despiteits pervasive Hinduism. She wondered why the West cannot see Islamin the same way. And, moreover, why does the last century of the very westernapproaches of secularization and modernization have to determine what ...
Men in Charge? Rethinking Authority in Muslim Legal Tradition
Authors: Haqqani Shehnaz
Published: October 2020

At a time when men’s assumption of leadership roles through all-male eventsand publications is a popular phenomenon, Men in Charge?, a byproduct ofa project by the women-led organization Musawah, could not have been publishedat a more opportune moment. Comprising a foreword by Zainah Anwar,Musawah’s director, an introduction by the editors, and ten chapters from academicsand activists of varied backgrounds, the book historicizes and problematizesthe Islamic idea of qiwāmah (authority) and wilāyah (guardianship),among other legal patriarchal precepts. It successfully argues that the Islamiclegal tradition with regards to gender roles rests on the false notion of malesuperiority.Men in Charge? carries immeasurable value for scholars and studentsof Islam, religion, women’s and gender studies, activists working toward gender-egalitarianism, and (Muslim) feminists seeking empowerment within areligious framework. It also speaks to reform leaders and lawmakers in Muslimstates, who might better understand the fundamental assumptions uponwhich family laws operate and their disconnect from the reality that womenand families face. The book’s major success lies in covering several importantlayers of the myth of male authority, from the theoretical gaps in the notionsof qiwāmah, wilāyah, and istikhlāf to a practical examination of the impact ofthese legal principles and proposals for new and creative approaches for feministsto apply in their vision of a gender-egalitarian Islam.Men in Charge? can be divided into two sections: (1) a theoretical discussionof the problems raised through fiqh rulings on gender and proposesnew ways through which Muslim feminists can approach those problems and(2) an analysis of the established ideals’ practical impacts. Ziba Mir-Hosseini’sdiscussion in the first chapter, “Muslim Legal Tradition and the Challengeof Gender Equality,” effectively contextualizes the book’s broaderdiscussion: What Muslim scholars did in the early twentieth century to challengethe legal tradition’s normative thought in an effort to move towardmore democratic and egalitarian family systems.According to the ideas of the scholars from the past and those from themore modern period, there appears to be an inconsistency between the twogroups’ understanding of “woman.” This suggests that the idea of woman is ...

АНАЛІЗ МЕТОДІВ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ДОВГОВІЧНОСТІ ДЕТАЛЕЙ ҐРУНТОВИХ НАСОСІВ
Authors: Каракаш Сергій
Published: October 2020

У системі безперервного виробництва, у якому насосам відведена значна роль у підтримці технологічного процесу, надійності й довговічності цього виду встаткування варто приділяти велику увагу. Надійність насоса, як властивість виконувати задані функції, зберігаючи в певних межах експлуатаційні режими протягом необхідного проміжку часу, обумовлюється безвідмовністю, ремонтопридатністю й довговічністю всіх деталей. На надійність насосів, що транспортують високоабразивні суміші, впливає: стан робочих коліс, бронедисків, чепцевих ущільнень і ущільнень деталей з боку підведення потоку в робочі колеса; порушення герметизації в ущільнюючих з’єднаннях; ослаблення кріплень робочих коліс, вібрації роторів насосів і вихід з ладу підшипникових вузлів. В ході досліджень були розглянуті фактори прояву абразивного зношення ґрунтонасосів. А також методи, що підвищують надійність і довговічність швидкозношуваних деталей. Тому було встановлено, що для кращої надійності та довговічності, необхідно: − використання для зносостійких матеріалів - хромистих чавуну, сталей, гуми й мінералополімерних покриттів нерухомих деталей, а також нових сплавів - норихард і норидур; − зниження швидкостей руху абразивної суміші в робочому колесі шляхом зменшення частоти обертання вала насоса в припустимих межах; − модернізація конструкції відводу на виході з робочого колеса убік розширення перетину відводу, що дає можливість одержати плавний перехід від бічної стінки перетину відводу до його циліндричної частини. Проведені заходи дають можливість підвищити довговічність ґрунтових насосів на 36%.

Authors: Oyefolu Akeeb O .bola , Shaibu Joseph Ojonugwa , Anjorin Abdul-azeez A. , Akinyemi Kabiru O.
Published: October 2020

Background: Zika virus, a flavivirus primarily transmitted through bites of mosquito (Aedes aegypti), blood transfusion, sexual contact and motherto-child was named after Zika forest in Uganda where it was first isolated from a sentinel monkey in 1947. It is a positively sensed single stranded RNA virus (+ssRNA) of approximately 11000Kb in length, encoding three (3) structural and seven (7) non-structural proteins. The virus has spread across several countries of the world between 1947 and today. Between March 2015 and November 2016, about 500,000 to 1.5 million people have been reported infected with Zika virus in Brazil alone, resulting in several cases of microcephaly, severe brain and ocular malformations, abortions, Guillain-Barre syndrome and even deaths. Cases of Zika virus infections have also been documented in some African countries with resulting isolation and sequencing of several strains. In Nigeria however, the first case of Zika virus was reported as far back as 1954 in the Eastern part of the country during a research on Yellow fever. Zika virus mutant strains might have evolved with corresponding effects on man due to continuous environmental changes and human factors worldwide. Aim: This study was aimed at reviewing the state of Zika virus in Nigeria: past and present. Methods: Original research articles and reviews were searched on the NCBI, Research gate, PubMed and Google scholar using queries such as; Zika, epidemiology of Zika, pathogenesis of Zika and molecular characterization of Zika. Results: High points on virology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and management were pooled together and discussed. Conclusion: The knowledge gained from this paper will help understand the current state of Zika virus in Nigeria. Keywords: Nigeria, Zika, flavivirus, RNA, microcephaly, epidemiology, genomics.

Spatial characterization of noise levels at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria
Authors: Oyedepo J. A. , Omoniyi D. M. , Oluyege D. E. , Babajide E. I.
Published: October 2020

The study investigated the spatial variability in the distribution of noise pollution in Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. Measurements of noise were taken from 10 locations on campus namely; the academic environment including the University library and college lecture auditoria, the residential areas comprising the Student hostels and Vice-chancellor’s lodge as well as other populated areas like the car park and student union building. The noise measurement was done in the morning and evenings of Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays over a period of 3 weeks in July 2019. The noise measurement was done with the aid of Smart Sensor Digital Sound Level meter (Model: AR824). The sampling points were geo-located using a hand-held receiver for Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Questionnaires were administered to members of the University community (staff and students) to determine their respective perception of campus noise on academic activities. Data (noise and survey) were subjected to statistical analysis. Spatial analysis of the noise levels includes surface interpolation (Krigging) to determine the spatial pattern of noise across the campus, particularly, the most tranquil and most chaotic locations. The results show noise pollution levels reaching 74.3 (db) and 73.0 (db) during weekdays at some locations on campus. The noise emission level at some locations within the University exceeded the World Health Organization and Federal Ministry of Environment of Nigeria’s permissible level of 55 db for residential areas. Generally, it was observed that the ambient noise from heavy duty generating with the student chattering put noise level above 35(db) to 55(db) recommended for educational institutions. It can be inferred from statistical analyses and spatial interpolations of recorded noise levels, that noise levels of many areas in FUNAAB exceed the recommended 40 db required for an institution of higher learning. The study however finds that staff and students have adjusted to the noise on campus. Lecturers have resorted to the use of public address systems in large classes while students go to serene locations for better assimilation when studying. The study recommends reduction of point-source noises such as replacing the diesel generators with solar power. Signage should be displayed at sensitive areas such as library to reduce unnecessary noise.

Published: October 2020

Mathematical communication is the ability of students to explain an idea from the results of thinking with pictures, diagrams, or mathematical symbols verbally or in writing, so mathematical communication is very important for students to have. Among the learning models that can be applied in the learning process are Think Talk Write (TTW) learning models. By implementing Think Talk Write (TTW) students are expected to be able to practice their mathematical communication skills both orally and in writing. Based on the steps of Think Talk Write (TTW) namely thinking, speaking and writing it is very possible to improve students' mathematical communication skills. Because in the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model students are trained to think independently of various learning sources. Steps of Think Talk Write (TTW) also trains students to speak to convey ideas from the ideas that have been found and to obtain the results of the discussion in their own language. Both of these steps accustom students to practice mathematical communication skills of students both verbally and in writing

Acercándose al mundo campesino
Authors: Briggs Miguel
Published: October 2020

The preferential option for the poor is an evangelical challenge for all the disciples of Jesus. It implies a process of assuming the cause of the poor, of solidarity in their struggle and of approaching their world. In many sectors of the continent there is a great effort by pastoral agents to pitch their tent in the midst of the poor, to live discipleship from a life side by side with the poor. In this article I would like to describe some key points of the experience in the peasant community and its implications in the construction of the Church.

On the example of three Prague subcentres Budějovická, Pankrác and Smíchov this paper analyses the structure of socially stratified environment of secondary city centres in Prague. The development is discussed within the context of requirements upon the public space in the stage of tertiarization and post-socialist transformation of the urban society. The influx of investments into the local environment of city centres is changing the space patterns and causes changes in the social structure of users. As result, the area of centres is split into functional entities with different social constituency. An active role of public administration is important for preservation of city-centre functionality for most inhabitants of the city.
STATE REGULATION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS IN UKRAINE
Authors: KALETNIK Grygorii , YEMCHYK Tetiana
Published: October 2020

The article deals with the social and economic development of rural areas as an important component of social and regional policy. It is noted that in the terms of a transformational economy, it should be based on new principles of organizational support and financing, support for integrated rural development, attracting investment resources, based on the needs of the rural population.
It is determined that one of the main causes of the crisis in the Ukrainian countryside is the loss of state control over the processes of socio-economic development of rural areas. It is investigated that the most important precondition for overcoming the crisis is the creation of an effective system of state regulation in the rural sector of Ukraine.
The formation of self-sufficient (in particular in financial terms) territorial communities of rural areas is proposed is one of the ways of socio-economic development of rural areas.
It is analyzed that the state policy of Ukraine in the field of local self-government is based on the interests of residents of territorial communities and provides for decentralization of power, i.e. transfer of large amounts of power, resources and responsibilities from local governments to local authorities. This policy is based on the provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government and the best world standards of public relations.
The focus of research is state regulation of rural development processes – the main priority of public policy in the vector of European integration of Ukraine's foreign policy. Increasing the importance of solving the problems of rural areas requires a change of state orientation in the direction of increasing the investment attractiveness of rural areas, introduction of structural adjustment of rural economic infrastructure to balanced multifunctional development, formation of organizational and economic tool for risk management and safety of rural development.
It is established that one of the main conditions for the effective functioning of local budgets is to ensure the formation of sufficient financial resources for their independence and autonomy in order to meet the needs of the rural population.
Diagnostic and prognostic role of liquid biopsy in non-small cell lung cancer: evaluation of circulating biomarkers
Authors: Vicidomini Giovanni , Cascone Roberto , Carlucci Annalisa , Fiorelli Alfonso , Di Domenico Marina , Santini Mario
Published: October 2020

Lung cancer is still one of the main causes of cancer-related death, together with prostate and colorectal cancers in males and breast and colorectal cancers in females. The prognosis for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is strictly dependent on feasibility of a complete surgical resection of the tumor at diagnosis. Since surgery is indicated only in early stages tumors, it is necessary to anticipate the timing of diagnosis in clinical practice. In the diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for NSCLC, sampling of neoplastic tissue is usually obtained using invasive methods that are not free from disadvantages and complications. A valid alternative to the standard biopsy is the liquid biopsy (LB), that is, the analysis of samples from peripheral blood, urine, and other biological fluids, with a simple and non-invasive collection. In particular, it is possible to detect in the blood different tumor derivatives, such as cell-free DNA (cfDNA) with its subtype circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), cell-free RNA (cfRNA), and circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Plasma-based testing seems to have several advantages over tumor tissue biopsy; firstly, it reduces medical costs, risk of complications related to invasive procedures, and turnaround times; moreover, the analysis of genes alteration, such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1, and BRAF is faster and safer with this method, compared to tissue biopsy. Despite all these advantages, the evidences in literatures indicate that assays performed on liquid biopsies have a low sensitivity, making them unsuitable for screening in lung cancer at the current state. This is caused by lack of standardization in sampling and preparation of specimen and by the low concentration of biomarkers in the bloodstream. Instead, routinely use of LB should be preferred in revaluation of patients with advanced NSCLC resistant to chemotherapy, due to onset of new mutations.

Authors: Pérez-Gómez C. A. , Liceaga-Castro J. U. , Siller-Alcalá I. I.
Published: October 2020

In this work, a comparative study of three control strategies for the position control of a permanent magnet DC motor with dead zone is presented. The strategies analyzed are the classical PI controller, a new approach based on a linear controller with double integral effect, and the Inverse Dead Zone approach. Through the results here exposed it is shown that the new approach based on a controller with double integral effect results in a control system capable of achieving smaller position error, reducing the undesirable stick/slip effect without inducing high frequency oscillations or chattering in the control variable. In addition, and thanks to its linear nature, it is possible to determine stability and robustness of the resulting control system by means of the classical margins of gain and phase making this approach suitable for an engineering context

Metodología: Estudio analítico, preexperimental; la población fue de 9 enfermeras seleccionadas por conveniencia, el instrumento de medición fue la escala autoaplicada para la evaluación de la ansiedad de Zung y la escala visual análoga de ansiedad; el plan terapéutico fue la aplicación del método Bonny en 6 sesiones. Se midió la ansiedad antes, durante y después de la terapia. Resultados: Predominó el género femenino (77.8%); la edad promedio fue de 38 años y la desviación estándar de 2.9. En la medición previa, 66.7% calificó en rango normal de ansiedad, 22.2% moderada y 11.1% marcada; posterior a la terapia, 100% calificó en ansiedad normal. El promedio inicial fue 40.5 puntos (DE = 11.8) y el final de 28.1 (DE = 7.7); en el análisis de diferencias se obtuvo t7 = 3.58 y p = 0.004. Conclusiones: La diferencia en puntos de ansiedad posterior a la terapia con música fue estadísticamente significativa, por lo que representa una alternativa en el tratamiento de ansiedad en personal de enfermería que atiende pacientes psiquiátricos.

Tener cáncer se transforma en toda una experiencia de vida; su diagnóstico llega a irrumpir drásticamente en la vida, desarticulando las esferas de la cotidianidad y de la identidad de la persona y de la familia que vive con el paciente con cáncer. Material y métodos: Estudio cualitativo basado en cuatro entrevistas a profundidad (hasta el momento) a adultos con cáncer de colon, con el objetivo de profundizar en lo cotidiano de sus vidas y realizar con ello aportaciones en las bases teóricas para el cuidado de enfermería a estas personas y a su familia. Resultados: Los participantes constituyen redes sociales significativas; sin embargo, denotan sufrimiento por saberse enfermos de cáncer y por tener una colostomía. Buscan sentirse activos; aspectos corporales de tiempo y de espacio son prioritarios entre sus necesidades, además de que desean minimizar los efectos adversos y los síntomas de su tratamiento. Discusión: Estas situaciones de inestabilidad y de necesidad de acompañamiento, de enseñanza y de apoyo son las que deben ser aprovechadas por el personal de enfermería como un instrumento terapéutico. Conclusiones: Un cuidado cálido se encuentra en las manos de los enfermeros. El mantener un cuidado de calidad le permite a la persona necesitada de nuestros cuidados vivir más tiempo y más feliz en su entorno familiar y laboral.
Desafíos de la Unidad de Investigación del Instituto Nacional de Neurología y Neurocirugía

El surgimiento de la investigación en enfermería inició con los registros detallados de las observaciones de Florencia Nightingale, quien aplicó sus conocimientos al estudio de la realidad a través de la historia y la filosofía. Esto constituyó el centro de su vida, es decir, el cuidado de la salud de las personas. Ella analizó la lógica del pensamiento de enfermería, las bases filosóficas, epistemológicas y éticas a través de su teoría, a partir del análisis del contexto histórico sociocultural en el cual se desarrolló su principal obra. Sus bitácoras están plasmadas a través de sus notas -éstas parten de la lógica del pensamiento Nightingaleano- las cuales han servido de punto de partida para desarrollar todas y cada una de las actuales teorías de enfermería. Sobre todo, Florencia Nightingale merecen el profundo reconocimiento de haber sido la pionera del pensamiento científico, así como de cuestiones éticas en enfermería y del desarrollo disciplinar actual.

El problema de estudio que se planteó fue: ¿cuáles son las áreas del conocimiento de la enfermería en la evaluación de la calidad científica de la Revista Enfermería Universitaria teniendo como base los indicadores bibliométricos empleados durante el periodo 2007-2011? Marco teórico: La revista científica tiene como función, además de la certificación de la ciencia, establecer e implementar los criterios de calidad que se utilizan para la realización y divulgación de las investigaciones, así como ayudar a consolidar las áreas de investigación, constituirse en el depósito de las informaciones de interés internacionales, nacional o regional y entrenar revisores y autores en análisis y crítica, mejorando la calidad de la ciencia. Material y métodos: La variable medida fue: las áreas del conocimiento de enfermería en la Revista Enfermería Universitaria. El diseño metodológico fue de corte cuantitativo, no experimental, transversal, retrospectivo, comparativo, analítico, descriptivo y diagnóstico. La muestra de estudio fue el total de artículos de la revista editados en los años 2007-2011. Resultados: En las áreas de apoyo del conocimiento de enfermería en los aspectos de enfermería comunitaria y de administración de los servicios de enfermería se publicaron 15 artículos en cada rubro. Conclusiones: En la Revista Enfermería Universitaria las áreas temáticas del conocimiento de enfermería que predominan son las de los artículos de aspectos metodológicos de la profesión, administración de los servicios de enfermería y enfermería comunitaria.

Los determinantes sociales de salud ponen en manifiesto las condiciones sociales de la población y con ella las condiciones en que viven las personas. Por medio de algunas determinantes sociales en salud, se aborda a la población con enfermedad de síndrome metabólico, problema común en la población mexicana en la etapa adulta. Objetivo: Comprender cómo influyen los determinantes sociales de salud (estructurales e intermediarios) en mujeres adultas con síndrome metabólico. Métodos: La recopilación de datos se realizó de forma individual a través de una guía; la muestra se constituyó por 8 mujeres de población rural del estado de Morelos, con diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico, con edades entre 41 a 51 años. Previo consentimiento informado, las entrevistas fueron grabadas, transcritas y se realizó la extracción, descripción y análisis de las narraciones. Para el análisis de los datos se identifican los códigos por los fragmentos de texto que emergen desde sus propias construcciones del proceso de la enfermedad. Resultados: Se obtiene de las narraciones de vida cómo es la representación social de la enfermedad en el grupo participante: Las mujeres mencionan tener limitaciones en el cuidado de su enfermedad, con deterioro continuo; de esta forma, ellas construyen sus creencias. Por otra parte, tienen inconformidad en la atención a los servicios de salud. Discusión: A partir de resultados de estudios se han encontrado similitudes pero algunos otros aspectos con mayor peso en género. Conclusiones: Los determinantes sociales en salud influyen en el proceso salud-enfermedad en las mujeres con síndrome metabólico develando la desigualdad en atención en salud. La intervención de enfermería a través de la revaloración de las características de la población, provee luz en la utilización del modelo OMS que aborda el bienestar económico y social de la población y distingue, género y etnia. Por lo tanto, el conjuntar estrategias entre el colectivo, la población y los sistemas de salud demanda políticas públicas para poder disminuir riesgos, complicaciones y el número de población afectada.
Epilepsia de ausencia juvenil. Evaluación neuropsicológica de dos casos
Authors: Barreda Guzmán Amador , Granados Ramos Dora Elizabeth
Published: October 2020

Introducción: Las epilepsias constituyen trastornos de la función neuronal expresados en crisis de episodios limitados causadas por descargas anormales de grupos de neuronas. La epilepsia de ausencia juvenil inicia entre los 10 y 17 años, con ausencias típicas y en ocasiones crisis tónico-clónicas. Ambos sexos son igualmente afectados. El electroencefalograma (EEG) intercrítico presenta descargas de punta-onda de 3 Hz con buena respuesta al medicamento. Las evaluaciones neuropsicológicas permiten determinar la presencia de cambios cognoscitivos y comportamentales. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, transversal, prospectivo. Se evaluaron dos estudiantes de la Licenciatura en Psicología (casos A y B), de 19 años de edad, de lateralidad diestra, sexo femenino. En ambos casos se reportaron crisis de ausencia con inicio en la adolescencia; el caso B presentaba además crisis tónico-clónicas. Ambas se encontraban tomando medicamento en el momento de la evaluación. En forma individual, en un cubículo bien iluminado, libre de distractores, se aplicaron en dos sesiones de 45 minutos en promedio la evaluación neuropsicológica breve en español (NEUROPSI), el test de clasificación de Wisconsin versión computarizada (WISCONPC) y la escala de somnolencia Epworth. Resultados: En NEUROPSI, el caso A, obtuvo puntaje total de 118 (normal alto) y el caso B, 106 (normal) con dificultades en atención, evocación de estímulos verbales y comprensión lectora. En WISCONPC, el caso A completó seis categorías, mientras que el B completó dos, presentando incapacidad para mantener la organización. En la escala Epworth, el caso B reportó no dormir suficiente. Discusión y conclusiones: Las evaluaciones neuropsicológicas nos permitieron conocer el estado actual de los procesos cognoscitivos de los casos evaluados e indicar estrategias de corrección en los procesos observados con dificultades.

Contexto: Diversas dificultades enfrenta la educación superior en México, en donde el abandono de estudios o la reprobación y el consecuente rezago caracterizan a un porcentaje no despreciable de las trayectorias estudiantiles. Objetivos: 1) Identificar los factores escolares y extraescolares con los que ingresan estudiantes de primer semestre de enfermería. 2) Correlacionar los factores escolares y extraescolares con la trayectoria escolar. Metodología: Estudio longitudinal con 278 estudiantes de enfermería; variables: factores escolares, extraescolares y trayectoria escolar. Se aplicó coeficiente de correlación de Pearson y t de Student. Resultados: El promedio de bachillerato fue de 8.2 y al tercer semestre de 8.0; el 64.7% eligió la carrera como primera opción; el 93.2% tiene una buena relación con su familia, el 55.1% tiene un ingreso familiar mensual de $ 2,001.00 a $ 4,000.00; del total de la generación, el 36.6% no se presentó desde un inicio o se encuentra rezagado; la aprobación al tercer semestre fue del 95.7%. Se encontró una asociación lineal estadísticamente significativa entre factores escolares y extraescolares y la trayectoria escolar. Conclusión: Existe un alto porcentaje de deserción; el rendimiento académico se mantuvo en relación con el bachillerato durante el primer y tercer semestre a pesar de los factores escolares y extraescolares negativos existentes.
