Fluorinated Carbohydrates. Some New Aspects in Synthesis and Application
Authors: Dax K. , Albert M. , Ortner J. , Paul B. J.
Published: February 2022

Recent applications of glycosyl fluorides as donors in controlled di- and oligosaccharide synthesis employing chemical and enzymatic methods are presented. Within the chemical approaches significant contributions have been made by the development of fluorophilic activators displaying high stereoselectivity as well as further improvements in "reactivity fine tuning" by variation of protecting groups. In the field of enzymatic oligosaccharide synthesis progress has been made in regioselective glycosyl transfer to secondary hydroxyl groups. Additionally, promising new approaches employing fluorides derived from monosaccharides with specifically mutated glycosidases or disaccharide derived
fluorides with cellulases, have been developed.
From the numerous contributions regarding the synthesis of deoxy-fluoro aldoses, emphasis is placed upon side-reactions on attempted nucleophilic substitutions. Within this field modification of pentoses at C-2 using the sulfonate/fluoride route or applying diethylaminosulfur trifluoride are discussed. The increasing use of asymmetric synthesis in this field, including a new entry starting from a chiral cis-diol, is noteworthy. Scope and limitations in the synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-fluoro aldoses by electrophilic addition across the double bond of glycals by making use of the new class of N-F-fluorinating agents are presented.
The important role of fluorinated carbohydrates as probes in mechanistic enzyme studies as well as their application in biomedical research is illustrated by several examples.

Transcription Factors – the Essence of Heart Regeneration:
A Potential Novel Therapeutic Strategy
Authors: Marzoog Basheer Abdullah
Published: February 2022

Myocardial cell injury and following sequelae are the primary reasons for
death globally. Unfortunately, myocardiocytes in adults have limited regeneration
capacity. Therefore, the generation of neo myocardiocytes from non-myocardial cells is
a surrogate strategy. Transcription factors (TFs) can be recruited to achieve this
tremendous goal. Transcriptomic analyses have suggested that GATA, Mef2c, and Tbx5
(GMT cocktail) are master TFs to transdifferentiate/reprogram cell linage of fibroblasts,
somatic cells, mesodermal cells into myocardiocytes. However, adding MESP1,
MYOCD, ESRRG, and ZFPM2 TFs induces the generation of more efficient and
physiomorphological features for induced myocardiocytes. Moreover, the same cocktail
of transcription factors can induce the proliferation and differentiation of
induced/pluripotent stem cells into myocardial cells. Amelioration of impaired myocardial
cells involves the activation of healing transcription factors, which are induced by
inflammation mediators; IL6, tumor growth factor β, and IL22. Transcription factors
regulate the cellular and subcellular physiology of myocardiocytes to include mitotic cell
cycling regulation, karyokinesis and cytokinesis, hypertrophic growth, adult sarcomeric
contractile protein gene expression, fatty acid metabolism, and mitochondrial biogenesis
and maturation. Cell therapy by transcription factors can be applied to cardiogenesis and
ameliorating impaired cardiocytes. Transcription factors are the cornerstone in cell
differentiation.
Anti-Alzheimer’s Activity of Methanolic Tender Green Pod Extract of Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (L.) Taub. on Scopolamine Induced Amnesia in Mice
Authors: Vivekanandan Lalitha , Murukeasan Rajalakshmi , Natarajan Kiruthiga , Sheik Hajasherief , Singaravel Sengottuvelu , Thangavel Sivakumar
Published: February 2022

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic and prevalent neurodegenerative
disease that leads to memory loss, especially in the elderly. AD is caused by a lack of acetylcholine
in the brain and oxidative stress. The Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, also known as Guar or cluster
bean, is a legume that belongs to the family Fabaceae. It is cheap, widely consumed as a seasoned
vegetable, and reported to counteract chronic diseases linked to oxidative stress, such as diabetes,
dyslipidemia, inflammation, and ulcer.

Objective:

The present study was undertaken to assess the anti-alzheimer’s activity of a tender
green pod extract of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba on learning and memory impairment induced by
scopolamine.

Methods:

The extract's total phenolic and flavonoid content was determined using a UV-visible
spectrophotometer. The Cyamopsis tetragonoloba methanolic pod extract (CTMPE) at a dose of
100 and 200 mg/kg and donepezil 2.5 mg/kg was administered orally for 7 successive days. On the
seventh day, a single intraperitoneal injection of scopolamine was used to induce dementia. The
behavioral experiments included an elevated plus maze, step-through passive avoidance, radial arm
maze, and Y-maze tests were conducted. The mice were sacrificed and acetylcholine, acetylcholinesterase,
and oxidative stress markers were measured in brain homogenate.

Results:

The total phenolic and flavonoid content was found as 12.9 mg of GAE/g and 1.71 mg of
QE/g, respectively. Scopolamine caused memory deterioration, as well as changes in acetylcholine,
acetylcholinesterase, and increased oxidative stress in the brain. Mice pretreatment with
CTMPE at both doses attenuated scopolamine-induced behavioral, neurochemical, and oxidative
changes in a similar way to donepezil.

Conclusion:

The CTMPE showed an anti-amnesic effect that makes it a promising candidate targeting
multiple events as a potential strategy to curb the progression of cognitive impairment.

Authors: Ade-Ibijola Abejide , Young Keagan , Sivparsad Nashik , Seforo Mpho , Ally Suhail , Olowolafe Adebola , Frahm-Arp Maria
Published: February 2022

Background

Educational games have been proven to support the teaching of various concepts across disciplines. Plagiarism is a major problem among undergraduate and postgraduate students at universities.

Objective

In this paper, we propose a game called Plagi-Warfare that attempts to teach students about plagiarism.

Methods

To do this at a level that is beyond quizzes, we proposed a game storyline and mechanics that allow the player (or student) to play as a mafia member or a detective. This either demonstrated their knowledge by plagiarizing within the game as a mafia member or catching plagiarists within the game as a detective. The game plays out in a 3D environment representing the major libraries of the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. In total, 30 students were selected to evaluate the game.

Results

Evaluation of the game mechanics and storyline showed that the student gamers enjoyed the game and learned about plagiarism.

Conclusions

In this paper, we presented a new educational game that teaches students about plagiarism by using a new crime story and an immersive 3D gaming environment representing the libraries of the University of Johannesburg.
Establishing Functions of Myth Through the Lenses of Euhemerism: Achebe’s Arrow of God in Focus
Authors: Yakubu Alhassan , HabibSibaway Mohammed , Nelson Oparebea
Published: February 2022

This article discusses the functions of myth in Achebe’s Arrow of Gods using Euhemerism as a reality measuring stick. The article considers the form and nature of myth through what it calls “definition of perspectives”. Using this definition of perspectives, the paper considers the myth-ritual perspective, the structural approach perspective and the functional approach perspectives in defining myth. Having established that Euhemerism is the believe that the gods are men deified for their good deeds , and that Africans believe they can speak and seek assistance from their dead ancestors , the article postulates four different functions the gods can perform. The paper argues that the gods are capable of protecting our forest and water bodies as well as be able to ensure peace and unity between and among people in a community. It further opines that not only do the gods have healing powers, and that the Priests serve as “medical doctors” in the African traditional communities, they equally ensure prosperity for the people who believe in them.

Abstract: Games have always played a significant role in a student’s life. With the fast paced technological development and the virtualization of learning environments, the need for bridging the gap between learning and gaming has never been higher. Studies have shown that integrating games into academics have shown significant improvement in the students’ engagement and are motivated to perform well. The aim of this study is to develop a 2D platform game to support learning of mathematics at elementary level. Various academic aspects are integrated into in order to set a learning environment using game mechanics. Building on the pre-existing ideologies on games for learning while basing it on Educational requirements and enhancing the gaming experience. This makes the learning experience engaging and fun all the while focusing on the learning experience, and when education is related with fun the positive aspects of gaming would be reflected on academics as well. The study focuses on game development and how various concepts for gamification are implemented and integrated to it. Understanding the relationship between education and gaming leads to compelling Academic solutions. This could revolutionize the field of Education and how it is imparted. Keywords: Gamification, learning environment, educational tool, development, math game.
Justification of the need for the hydrodynamic cleaning of gravity water discharge networks
Authors: Prodous Oleg A. , Shlychkov Dmitriy I. , Abrosimova Ivanna A.
Published: February 2022

Introduction. It is widely known that the operation of sewage treatment facilities requires a significant amount of energy, consumed by the pumping equipment, the automated control system, lighting, heating, ventilation, etc. To ensure the reliable operation of pressure sewerage pipelines, it is necessary to analyze the flow parameters and adequately protect these structures from pressure surges (fluid shocks), that demonstrate unique features in the process of wastewater discharge. The proposed method of analyzing principal hydrodynamic parameters in case of a fluid shock takes into account the multi-phase nature of the pressure flow. The hydrodynamic cleaning of water supply and sewerage networks involves special equipment used to clean pipes, having the diameter of over 150 mm which are made of any material. The process of the hydrodynamic cleaning of networks is expensive and laborious. Therefore, the authors of the article propose to prepare a preliminary justification report for such an expensive operation. The purpose of the research is to identify the pipe characteristics, that can justify the application of the hydraulic method for the removal of a layer of internal deposits. Materials and methods. Dependencies, derived by the authors for the purpose of the hydraulic analysis of gravity drainage networks, are used in the article. Results. Dependence between the actual pipe filling and the thickness of the sediment layer in the pipe gully was confirmed. A specific example is provided by the authors to confirm the existence of such a dependence. The graph shows dependence between the actual pipe filling level and the thickness of the sediment layer in the gully and dependence between the value of the hydraulic slope and the thickness of the actual sediment layer. Conclusions. It is shown that the hydrodynamic cleaning of pipes, having a gully sediment layer exceeding 70 mm, is justified for the case analyzed in the article.
Features of determining the specific surface area of powdered quartz-containing systems
Authors: Shamanina Aleksandra V. , Ayzenshtadt Arcady M.
Published: February 2022

Introduction. Mineral raw materials, mechanically dispersed to a fine-grained condition, contribute to the effective use of the energy potential in the course of the structuring of composite materials. An important parameter, characterizing the dispersion ability and allowing to evaluate the ability of the system to transform is the specific surface of the substance. The experimental value of the specific surface depends on the measurement method and may differ for the same solids when different methods are applied. The purpose of the work is to study the morphological features of the surface of powdered quartz-containing systems having varying degrees of dispersion. The work represents the experimental identification of specific surface.

Materials and methods. Filtration and adsorption methods were used to identify the specific surface of a mechanically activated sample of polymineral sand. Fine powders of sand were obtained by dry grinding in a planetary ball mill. The analysis of the obtained results was conducted taking into account the surface tension values of the powders as the characteristics of the surface energy of a surface area unit.

Results. It is found that dimensions of the specific surface identified using the gas filtration method are smaller than those obtained using the nitrogen adsorption method. The authors have identified a linear functional dependence between the ratio of dispersion and polarization components of the surface tension and the ratio of specific surfaces obtained using different methods for one sample of sand.

Conclusions. Despite a difference in the values obtained for the same material sample, specific surface area indicators, identified using different methods, allow to evaluate the extent of the surface maturity, the availability of active centres, and the energy potential of mineral powders. The ratio of specific surfaces can be used as a criterion for the rational choice of the operating parameters of mechanical activation of quartz-containing powder systems to increase the energy potential of the surface.
Evolution of a Government Photo Op: The Media Tradition of a Canadian Finance Minister’s New Budget Shoes
Authors: Marland Alex , Francoli Mary
Published: February 2022

Background: Photo opportunities enable tight scripting and image control while catering to the media’s need for visual content. This research traces how, since 1955, Canadian finance ministers and the media have exhibited a uniquely Canadian interest in the minister’s budget day shoes.

Analysis: A review of newspaper coverage about the federal budget indicates that news stories contributed to the myth of parliamentary tradition that evolved into packaged photo ops. Interviews with journalists and a finance minister’s staff, among others, provide insights about photo-op management in a permanent campaigning environment.

Conclusion and implications: The case study adds to knowledge about strategic communication in government and the evolution of media-state relations in Canada.
Platform Multiverse: Discontent and Disconnection among Alt-Rights
Authors: Robinson Sandra
Published: February 2022

Background: This article explores the platform multiverse of alt-rights, whereby groups and individuals, ideas, and discourses move across and between social platforms to avoid detection, suspension, and moderation.

Analysis: This study examines disconnection practice among alt-rights as part of an affiliative assemblage that extends across multiple platforms and works to orient the disconnected toward reconnection.

Conclusion and implications: Tracing this alt-right multiverse and the spatial and temporal intensities of disconnection practice exposes the discourses, habits, and interactions of alt-rights across new social platforms.

Published: February 2022

La Reserva de la Biosfera Cabo de Hornos, Chile, ha sido identificada como un área de alta diversidad de briófitas y se ha sugerido que también lo sea para los líquenes. Sin embargo, en contraste con los extensos estudios de briófitas, sólo se habían realizado inventarios preliminares de líquenes en esta reserva. Realizamos el primer estudio florístico intensivo sobre la diversidad de líquenes en la isla Navarino durante los veranos australes de 2005 y 2008. Exploramos los principales tipos de hábitat de la isla, incluyendo áreas costeras, bosques siempreverdes y caducifolios, complejo de tundra de Magallanes y hábitats altoandinos (“alpinos”) en las cumbres de las montañas. Se consideraron los diferentes sustratos sobre los que crecen los líquenes: corteza, madera (incluidos troncos, tocones), tierra, musgos y rocas. Registramos un total de 416 taxones, aunque algunos de ellos no se identificaron a nivel de especie. Un resultado principal es el hallazgo de dos especies que se proponen como nuevas: el liquen Candelariella magellanica y el hongo sapróbico Sclerococcum nothofagi que crece sobre la corteza de árboles del género Nothofagus. Además, una especie de hongo liquenícola, Tremella haematommatis, se registró por primera vez en la isla Navarino. Estos resultados proporcionan evidencia adicional sobre la gran diversidad de líquenes que se conservan en la Reserva de la Biosfera Cabo de Hornos

Zachowania strategiczne przedsiębiorstww obszarze zarządzania zasobami ludzkimiw warunkach niepewności
Authors:   Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Katowicach, Wydział Ekonomii, Kol Jakub
Published: February 2022

Streszczenie: Niniejszy artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy i podejmuje problematykę zachowań strategicznych przedsiębiorstw w obszarze zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi (ZZL) w warunkach niepewności na przykładzie pandemii COVID-19. Rozprzestrzenia- nie się koronawirusa SARS-CoV-2 skłoniło rządy do wdrożenia ekstremalnych środków, takich jak zamknięcie całych sektorów, tworząc globalną presję oraz znacząco wpływając na wszystkie obszary gospodarki. Relatywnie najpoważniejsze konsekwencje tej sytuacji ponoszą nowo powstające firmy oraz małe i średnie przedsiębiorstwa (MŚP). W czasie tego rodzaju kryzysów postawione w trudnej strategicznie sytuacji przedsiębiorstwa nierzadko podejmują pochopne decyzje. Są one skutkiem braku jakiegokolwiek przygo- towania czy prewencyjnego zabezpieczenia funkcjonowania poszczególnych obszarów działalności firmy. Problem dotyczy przede wszystkim sfery zarządzania kadrami, która (jak podają raporty) została najbardziej dotknięta przez pandemię. Z każdym komunika- tem wprowadzającym obostrzenia rosły niepewność zatrudnienia i ryzyko jego utraty. Faktycznie, wzrosła zarówno liczba zwolnień, jak i niechęć do tworzenia nowych sta- nowisk i zatrudniania nowych pracowników. Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja i zesta- wienie działań będących wspólnym, znaczącym elementem zarządzania strategicznego (ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ZZL) realizowanego w warunkach niepewności, a także zaproponowanie działań prewencyjnych dla przedsiębiorców. W opracowaniu zastoso- wano metodę analizy dokumentów w postaci raportów będących efektem badań ilościo- wych wśród przedsiębiorców. Realizując działania zapobiegawcze i ochronne, przedsię- biorstwa mogą zwiększyć prawdopodobieństwo utrzymania płynności finansowej, a poprzez odpowiednią strategię – także przygotować się do działania w nowych warunkach. Słowa kluczowe: zachowania strategiczne, kryzys, strategia przedsiębiorstw, ryzyko, nie- pewność, zarządzanie zasobami ludzkimi. Kod JEL: M51, D81
Procesy restrukturyzacji górnictwa: Zagłębie Górnośląskie i Zagłębie Ruhry
Authors:   Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Katowicach, Wydział Ekonomii, Polska, Rybarz Mateusz
Published: February 2022

Abstract: The main aims of the paper are: to indicate the similarities and differences between the Ruhr District and the Upper Silesia occurring during the restructuring of these mining regions and to indicate investments of strategic importance directly related to the processes carried out. For the research, a detailed review of the available literature on the subject (both in Polish, English, and German) was made and the analysis of statis- tical data was used. The paper discusses the similarities of both regions at the start of the process and the significant differences in the time of restructuring. The process imple- mented in the Ruhr District was a well-thought-out, consistently implemented, long-term strategy, therefore its effects are assessed positively, both in the social and economic context. On the other hand, the solutions adopted in the Upper Silesia are characterized by the variability of the concept and the chaotic nature of the solutions implemented. Nevertheless, there are strengths and weaknesses in this process in both regions. Keywords: mining, restructuring, hard coal, Upper Silesia, Ruhr District. JEL Classification: O170, R110, L690
Bankowość w wykładach Juliana Dunajewskiego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Katowicach, Wydział Ekonomii, Polska, Rapka Przemysław
Published: February 2022

Abstract: Julian Dunajewski was a Polish economist and Minister of the Treasury of Austria-Hungary in the second half of the XIX century. He also lectured at the Jagiello- nian University in Cracow and at the University of Lviv. Unfortunately, he wrote little and his economic thought is known mainly from scripts from the 1870s. These include a discussion of the functioning of banks and the banking sector, as well as Dunajewski's thoughts on the economic consequences of an unregulated banking sector, where banks are free to issue banknotes. The text presents and analyses Julian Dunajewski's views on the functioning of the banking sector and the consequences of unregulated bank money creation. Dunajewski argued that the unregulated creation of money by commercial banks is the cause of business cycles and the decline in the value of money. His views on free banking were compared with the views of contemporary free banking advocates and economists of the Austrian school. The comparative analysis shows the similarities be- tween the views of economists of the Austrian school and Julian Dunajewski on the consequences of money emission by commercial banks. According to both the Austrian school and Dunajewski, excessive bank credit is responsible for business cycles and the granting of credit to the wrong entrepreneurs. Keywords: Julian Dunajewski, free banking, Polish economic thought, Austrian school of economic. JEL Classification: B19, B26, G21

Authors: Amaral Eduardo Tadeu Roque
Published: February 2022

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar o emprego de um conjunto de nomes gerais para humanos em decisões judiciais escritas em espanhol e em português. São analisadas as seguintes unidades linguísticas, empregadas em sintagmas com interpretação genérica:  hombre / homem; individuo / indivíduo; persona / pessoa; ser humano / ser humano; sujeto / sujeito. A pesquisa está baseada em estudos teóricos de semântica lexical, alguns dos quais de caráter contrastivo, e em trabalhos que discutem as propriedades da escrita jurídica. Os dados provêm de decisões judiciais de recursos de apelação civil proferidas por magistrados do Tribunal Superior de Justicia da Província de Córdoba (Argentina) e do Tribunal de Justiça de Minas Gerais (Brasil). Entre os resultados obtidos, verifica-se  que esses nomes são usados frequentemente em contextos em que se deseja destacar que a pessoa natural é um sujeito titular de direitos. Além disso, reafirma-se a possibilidade de uso variável dessas formas para a expressão do conceito ‘ser humano’ e corroboram-se parcialmente resultados de pesquisas anteriores sobre esses nomes.

Mulheres nas lutas de resistência à ditadura empresarial-militar na Bahia: perspectivas no ensino de história.
Authors: Rodrigues da Silva Daniela
Published: February 2022

Neste artigo, pretendemos analisar as trajetórias de mulheres nas lutas contrárias à Ditadura Empresarial-Militar, sob a ótica regional e local. Frequentemente ignoradas nas abordagens e nos materiais didático-pedagógicos do ensino de História sobre os espaços políticos e institucionais, as mulheres estão apagadas também nas narrativas sobre resistências e lutas. No sentido contrário a essa tendência, traçamos reflexões que contemplem a temática da participação desses sujeitos no combate ao governo ditatorial na Bahia. No contexto da história local e regional, propomos algumas considerações sobre as políticas de preservação de memória e reparação do passado traumático a partir do estudo do monumento/antimonumento “Aos 27 Baianos Mortos e Desaparecidos Políticos, Vítimas da Ditadura Militar”, situado no município de Vitória da Conquista, cidade berço de duas mulheres que se lançaram nos embates contra a opressão ditatorial, Dinaelza Coqueiro e Diva Santana. Em tempos de questionamentos infundados do conhecimento científico com vistas ao revisionismo e negacionismo histórico, acreditamos que permitir a visibilidade, nas escolas, das histórias vividas por mulheres militantes é uma forma de resistir ao apagamento da memória nos campos de embates de disputas pela rememoração.

Temporal anomalies and time invariant variability of soil moisture in a subhumid coastal wetland
Authors: Kohfahl Claus , David Ismael Lare , Alonso Héctor Aguilera , Martinez Gonzalo
Published: February 2022

The knowledge of soil moisture spatio-temporal variability is highly
relevant for water resources management. This is especially significant
in highly demanding areas of arid and semiarid regions where a sensitive
ecosystem, agriculture and recreational areas can converge. This study
reports an analysis of the spatial-temporal variability of soil moisture
data for a small to medium-scale network in a coastal wetland of
southwestern Spain. Measurements were taken from 5 sites located in the
Doñana National Park, with an extension of approx. 25 × 3 km over the
time-period of one hydrological year from September 2017 to September
2018. Absolute soil moisture was separated in two components: the
temporal mean (time-invariant term) and the deviations from the mean or
anomalies (time-variant term). The time-invariant component was
generally the main contributor to the total spatial variance of absolute
soil moisture data and it was mostly controlled by the groundwater
levels in the area. Nevertheless, the time variant terms have a huge
effect on soil moisture variability in very dry states at this site.
Time-dependent patterns were found between average soil moisture state
and the variance and covariance both of the time-variant and
time-invariant components of soil moisture, which could be used for the
up and downscaling of soil moisture from satellite data. Those patterns
were only affected by heavy rainfalls giving rise to hysteretic
behavior. This study shows that even though groundwater level is a
time-variant variable, it significantly affects soil moisture’s
time-variant and time-invariant terms.
Remote job design possibilities to work in Lithuanian companies from distant locations
Authors:   Vytautas Magnus University, Staniuliene Sonata , Jurova Justine ,   Vytautas Magnus University
Published: February 2022

The study examines literature on remote job design possibilities from distant locations. After the remote job design concept is formed, the premises for the use of remote job design are analysed, the necessary conditions, possibilities, and employees’ willingness to work remotely are explained, summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of remote work. The quantitative research was conducted to reveal out the possibilities of remote job design in Lithuanian companies according to the areas of work in which it is possible, impossible to work remotely or possible to work flexibly. The willingness to do remote jobs was also examined, and the picture of prone to remote job employee by demographic characteristics of the respondents was drawn. The most convenient distant locations, informational and communication technologies (ICT) and addresses of indirect communication were identified. It was found that survey participants are not resistant to work remotely, and it also showed that at least partially remote job could be designed in majority of Lithuanian companies. Most of them prefer flexible mixed variation of remote and traditional work. The main difficulties were named that required high level of self-discipline, but not the lack or deficiencies in using ICT, electronic devices and designing other required conditions for remote job design.

Elastolytic giant cell granuloma, an idiopathic granulomatous dermatosis, is characterized by annular plaques on sun-exposed areas, and has been termed actinic granuloma or annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma. Many atypical clinical manifestations and lesions involving sun-protected areas have been reported. The aims of this retrospective study of 105 patients were to summarize the clinical and histological features of patients with this condition; to provide evidence for the viewpoint that elastolytic giant cell granuloma is a better term to include all clinical morphological types presenting with elastolysis, elastophagocytosis, and an infiltrate of multinucleated giant cells histologically; and to establish a new clinical classification. The varying clinical manifestations were further categorized into annular, papular, giant, mixed and generalized forms. The pathological manifestations were classified into giant cell, necrobiotic, histiocytic, sarcoidal and mixed patterns. Diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance were the most commonly identified comorbidities. Oral low-dose corticosteroid may be an effective treatment.

Some cities in Indonesia which are located on Southern Java Island are susceptible to tsunamis. However, the application of participatory GIS for the assessment of building vulnerability to tsunamis remains rarely evaluated. The aims of this research are 1) to obtain the parameters of building vulnerability to tsunamis using the participatory approach, and 2) to evaluate the results of building vulnerability assessment using participatory GIS. A tsunami inundation map was constructed based on numerical modelling using the Hawke's Bay equation. Participatory approaches were taken to establish the parameters that affect the vulnerability of buildings to tsunamis using in-depth interviews. Respondents were selected using the purposive sampling technique. A geographic information system (GIS) was then applied to build a geodatabase and to perform analysis. The results show that six parameters were obtained from local people’s participation, namely building materials, the number of stories of the buildings , orientation, preservation condition, building row, and natural barriers. All the parameters were identified and interpreted using aerial photos. A field survey was conducted to complete the information on building characteristics. Many buildings near the beach were classified as having high and moderate vulnerability. The main benefit of participatory GIS is that the role of the community makes a significant contribution to providing vulnerability information. It also raises public awareness and improves preparedness for disaster risk management. The drawback is that parameters based on participatory approaches are dynamic and may be different in other areas.

"malvinxs" recoge escritos en tono poético sobre la experiencia del autor a partir de su participación en la guerra y la posguerra del conflicto bélico de 1982 en Malvinas, como soldado conscripto. Situado desde el CECIM-La Plata (Centro de Ex soldados conscriptos combatientes en Malvinas) plantea relatos críticos sobre la historiografía que titula como Gesta lo sucedido. La decisión de las autoridades de la última Dictadura cívico-eclesiástico-militar es incluida aquí dentro del Terrorismo de Estado que la definió en lo político, como su continuidad y epílogo. El relato, las descripciones, las referencias utilizan el fraseo poético, sus códigos enunciativos, para presentar una voz que oscila entre lo individual y lo colectivo todo el tiempo y desde la Advertencia hasta el Final (partes así nominadas). Asimismo, desde el título hasta las últimas decisiones sobre los permisos de circulación de la obra, este libro también opta por las discusiones más actuales sobre derechos de identidad y de propiedad de lo producido intelectualmente. Está compuesto por un Prólogo a cargo de Rodolfo Carrizo (presidente del CECIM-La Plata), una Advertencia y cinco partes (Palabras Clave, Bitácora, Efemérides, Palimpsestos y Final)

Yo, Daniel Blake. Identidad, participación y política social
Authors: Valencia Cepeda María Cristina
Published: February 2022

En este artículo se analiza cómo los procesos de políticas sociales construyen una verdad y en su ejecución definen subjetividades. A partir de la película: Yo, Daniel Blake, se define el silencio del Estado y de las políticas sociales frente a las demandas de los ciudadanos y su implicación en la subjetividad, aparecen las políticas sociales como dispositivos de constitución de los sujetos que los definen por lo que poseen y no por lo que son.  Se considera como marco analítico el modelo de igualdad de oportunidades y el de igualdad de posiciones, definidos por Dubet, como dos lógicas diferentes para definir la identidad de los sujetos, pues mientras en el modelo de igualdad de oportunidades la identidad encadena, subordina y descalifica a los sujetos para conseguir asistencia social, en el modelo de igualdad de posiciones esa identidad representa una oportunidad de reciprocidad y participación. Se concluye que para que los procesos de participación social sean efectivos y justos se requiere el análisis crítico desde las políticas sociales sobre el lugar que se les asigna a los individuos beneficiarios de esas políticas, se requiere escuchar a esos individuos y construir una relación de reconocimiento de ese otro.
Primeros concursos de arte y tecnología en Argentina
Authors: Jacobo Mónica Eugenia
Published: February 2022

Desde mediados de la década de 1990 artistas y algunas instituciones en Argentina, dieron indicios de un trabajo conjunto en torno al vínculo entre arte y tecnologías. Abordamos en este texto el análisis de los primeros concursos realizados en Buenos Aires que se enfocaron en esta relación. La construcción en la escena artística local de lo que se consideraba arte digital y la formación de un mundo de arte en derredor se consolidó con la realización de estas instancias, desarrolladas en dos instituciones de amplia trayectoria en la escena nacional, el Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes y el Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires. Estos procesos resultan de particular interés para comprender las primeras formas que adquirió la porción del arte contemporáneo producida y estudiada a partir de su vínculo con las tecnologías digitales, así como las nóveles formas de institucionalización de dichas poéticas.
Medios diaspóricos, inmigración y activismo político
Authors: Olinto Berti
Published: February 2022

El artículo analiza el discurso de los medios diaspóricos latinoamericanos en Canadá con respecto a las comunidades de inmigrantes venezolanos. A través de un análisis de contenido cuantitativo y cualitativo aplicado a 61 noticias y editoriales publicados entre 2017 y 2018 en dos semanarios hispanos de Toronto, se determinó que estos medios han creado narrativas que categorizan a los inmigrantes venezolanos a través de su búsqueda de reconocimiento político. Ambos semanarios han elaborado un perfil relativamente homogéneo sobre la figura de los inmigrantes y refugiados venezolanos en el cual el activismo y la afiliación política son entendidos como elementos esenciales de identidad y pertenencia a la llamada diáspora venezolana.
