A COORDENAÇÃO FESTEJANTE E AS CRIAÇÕES CURRICULARES
Authors: Roseiro Steferson Zanoni , Perovano Nayara Santos , Lourenço Suzany Goulart
Published: September 2022

Recusada a premissa de que a coordenação escolar tem caráter unicamente regulatório, este artigo tem por objetivo perguntar pelos possíveis de uma coordenação que, em contrapartida, faça festa. Para tanto, afirma que a vida nua, conceituada por Giorgio Agamben, não se efetiva nos cotidianos escolares unicamente como uma negação da força vital e, ao mesmo tempo, rejeita algumas leituras da obra de Michel Foucault que pressupõem a escola como espaço preso às amarras do poder. Aposta, assim, na possibilidade de produzir, mesmo em meio às ameaças à educação pública, afetos que fortaleçam a coletividade. Metodologicamente foi realizada uma rede de conversação entre professores e coordenadores do município de Cariacica-ES. Desse modo, apresenta pequenos recortes desses diálogos, de modo a apresentar modos alegres de fazer a coordenação escolar. Como ressalta a coordenadora, “Não sei animar tanto, mas até parece que eu vou cortar essa alegria toda!”. Por vezes, basta isto: ver no contágio da vida não um inimigo, mas um aliado poderoso.

A DESQUALIFICAÇÃO EDUCACIONAL DO POBRE FRENTE ÀS DESIGUALDADES SOCIAIS NO BRASIL
Authors: Dantas Lúcio Gomes , Tunes Elizabeth
Published: September 2022

As distâncias entre pobres e ricos tornam-se cada vez mais acintosas no Brasil, isso se evidencia pelas desigualdades sociais. Os paradoxos existentes entre as teorias sobre pobreza e seus indicadores, a educação do pobre e as desigualdades sociais levam as pessoas a fazerem escolhas educacionais pautadas pela dimensão econômica, o que faz evidenciar as desigualdades sociais e o preconceito contra o pobre. Perpetuam-se, assim, as segregações sociais baseadas nas desigualdades de origem. Nesse contexto, este escrito reflete sobre a educação dos pobres, sob a égide das desigualdades sociais, como forma de desqualificação educacional. Esclarece os conceitos polissêmicos sobre pobreza e os indicadores que denunciam as desigualdades sociais no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e documental com base em organismos nacionais e internacionais, no qual infere-se que a pobreza vista somente sob os aspectos socioeconômicos intensifica os propósitos neoliberais ao alimentar a cultura da pobreza. Por fim, a educação que se volta ao pobre corre o risco de entregar à sociedade uma pessoa que atenda às expectativas do “mercado” de trabalho, ainda que de forma desqualificada. O que ratifica, infelizmente, um modelo de escola pobre para os pobres.
A EDUCAÇÃO NO ALVORECER DA MODERNIDADE
Authors: Pinto Marcelo Felício Martins , Jardilino José Rubens Lima
Published: September 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender as concepções do humanista Erasmo de Rotterdam sobre a educação das crianças, partindo da análise de duas importantes obras: De Pueris (“Dos Meninos”) e De Civilitate Morum Puerilium (“A Civilidade Pueril”). O enfoque recai sobre as elaborações do autor quanto à importância da instrução infantil para a formação do homem moderno, civilizado, racional e sobre os métodos educativos erasmianos que deveriam ser empregados por pais e preceptores nesse processo. Busca-se, ainda, entender como a disciplinação corporal, na visão de Erasmo, contribuiria para o sucesso desse projeto pedagógico, que almejava a constituição de uma nova humanidade.

Published: September 2022

Objetiva-se investigar e discutir, neste artigo, as representações sociais de professores universitários sobre o aprimoramento cognitivo farmacológico e as implicações éticas e de responsabilidades civil, criminal e administrativa relacionadas à prescrição indiscriminada de medicamentos por parte dos profissionais da saúde. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa exploratória, de caráter quantitativo, com 207 professores do ensino superior de um centro universitário privado sediado no Noroeste do estado do Paraná. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se dois questionários: um sociodemográfico e outro composto por questões baseadas na escala Likert. Como referencial teórico-metodológico, utilizou-se a Teoria das Representações Sociais. Os resultados revelam que os participantes da pesquisa possuem pouco conhecimento a respeito da eficácia dos medicamentos que visam o aprimoramento cognitivo farmacológico e concordam que o uso de medicamentos será cada vez mais intensificado, concebendo essa prática um fenômeno inevitável. Conclui-se que o aprimoramento cognitivo farmacológico é um tema controverso, de grande relevância para a educação e para a saúde pública, razão pela qual é importante que os estudos sobre essa temática sejam ampliados.
A INTERCULTURALIDADE NA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR INDÍGENA.
Authors: Faustino Rosangela Celia , Marcos Gehrke  , Gomes Alline Gonçalves Proença , Delmira de Almeida Peres
Published: September 2022

O termo intercultural refere-se ao reconhecimento, respeito e relações equilibradas de trocas entre diferentes povos e culturas. Na Europa envolve questões relacionadas aos imigrantes e, na América Latina, há registros de seu uso pelo religioso austríaco, Ivan Ilitch, nos anos de 1960, na fundação do Centro Intercultural de Documentación (CIDOC) no México que, dentre as atividades desenvolvidas, fazia a formação de missionários norte-americanos, em língua espanhola. Posteriormente, nos anos de 1980, a UNESCO disseminou o termo viando sua inserção na política educacional voltada aos povos indígenas. Neste texto fazemos uma retomada histórica do termo e uma análise das políticas educacionais interculturais iniciadas com a Constituição brasileira de 1988, que impulsionou reformas para a educação escolar indígena nos anos de 1990. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e documental no qual debatemos a perspectiva da interculturalidade em diretrizes e referenciais que possibilitam aos povos indígenas elaborem projetos pedagógicos próprios, voltados às suas realidades socioculturais e linguísticas, bem como às suas necessidades de sustentabilidade.

Authors: Rahman Fariza Abdul , Basirun Wan Jefrey , Johan Mohd Rafie , Ghazali Nadiah , Ladan Magaji
Published: September 2022

This study employed the template-free chemical oxidative polymerisation method to synthesise polyaniline (PANI) and polyaniline/tin-doped titania (PANI/Sn-doped TiO2) nanocomposite as corrosion inhibitors. FTIR and XRD were employed to characterise the chemical composition of the prepared samples. TEM and FESEM microscopy validated the presence of the PANI and that the Sn-doped TiO2 nanoparticle were successfully incorporated into PANI to form the nanocomposite. The synthesised materials were mixed in the polyvinyl butyral (PVB) binder, coated onto mild steel substrates, and exposed to 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 30 days. Altogether, three coating systems were tested, i.e., pure PVB, PVB + PANI, and PVB + PANI/Sn-doped TiO2. The corrosion parameters were measured via EIS and Tafel polarisation techniques. Overall, the PANI/Sn-doped TiO2 nanocomposite as a corrosion inhibitor effectively inhibited the corrosion of the mild steel, and its corrosion rate was 3.484 x 10-7 mm/year.
Comparison of Different Sensors Used in the Assessment of Concrete Elements by Impact-Echo Method
Authors: Puchýř Jan , Dvořák Richard , Hubáček Adam , Chobola Zdeněk
Published: September 2022

Testing methods used for assessment of buildings considered as a cultural heritage are focused mainly on non-destructive testing methods. Old buildings are usually sensitive to destructive in-situ testing, and a variety of non-destructive techniques (NDT) are frequently used. One of the most commonly used sensors are accelerometers, which can measure vibrations of different part of structures. These can be used in either continuous monitoring or in short-time assessment. Impact-Echo is a well-known method which can locate defects, caverns, or damaged parts not only in industry-level structures, but also in preservation of cultural heritage. This type of measurement requires attaching a sensor to the surface of the observed element. This is in most cases done by adhesives which can damage the more porous structures. In this paper a comparison of two different sensor types in testing of reference concrete elements is presented: contact piezoceramic accelerometer; non-contact MEMS type microphone. Signals recorded by each sensor type are assessed by the statistical method of feature extraction.
Investigation of the Effectiveness of the Rehabilitation of Historical Constructions Using Wireless Dehumidification Technologies
Authors: Šťastný Patrik
Published: September 2022

The humidity of historical constructions can be considered as a global problem causing either partial or complete destruction of the affected buildings. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem by certain interventions to reduce or completely remove humidity from these structures in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the nation. This paper will describe a summary of previous theoretical and practical knowledge of the issue. This part will be followed by research dealing with the effectiveness of non-invasive methods of combating humidity in buildings carried out in situ, specifically the technology of wireless dehumidification known as the magnetokinetic method. The paper will describe two historical objects, investigated in situ, where these technologies were applied several years ago. As these technologies are highly questioned by the professional public, this research is expected to help demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology on the basis of real values obtained directly from practice.

Mosquito vector diversity and abundance in southern Botswana, in a global context of emerging pathogen transmission
Authors: Makate Ntebaleng , Ramatlho Pleasure , Kgoroebutswe Tefo Kesaobaka , Laycock Katherine , Paganotti Giacomo Maria
Published: September 2022

Background. The continued spread of infectious diseases by mosquitoes remains a formidable obstacle to the well-being of the people all over the world. Arboviruses are spread from one vertebrate host to another by vectors through intricate transmission cycles that involve the virus, the vertebrate host, and the vector. It is essential to acquire a better understanding of the current abundance and distribution of major vectors in order to adequately prepare for the possibility of arbovirus outbreaks. This is because the abundance and distribution of these major vectors determines the human populations that are at risk for the diseases that they transmit. The effects of climate change on the amount of mosquitoes and their ability to survive the seasons have had a substantial impact on the spread of diseases that are transmitted by vectors in many different parts of Botswana.Methods. The purpose was to collect mosquito samples in Gaborone and the neighboring areas in southern Botswana, including border stations. We collected different stages of the mosquito from each place, raised them to maturity, and then identified them. Both morphological and genetic studies were utilized in order to successfully identify the organism. The species of Culex mosquitoes accounted for 88.3% of the 5177 mosquitoes that were collected and identified, whereas the species of Aedes aegypti and Anopheles mosquitoes accounted for 11.5% and 0.2% respectively.Conclusions. These findings give entomological baseline data that will aid in the study of vectorial patterns and the estimation of future arboviral hazards provided by mosquitoes. Additionally, these findings document the diversity and abundance of mosquito species.
Memory, orality and ‘God-talk’ in sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Masoga Mogomme A.
Published: September 2022

The indigenous people of sub-Saharan Africa approach their Supreme Being and express their reverence in diverse ways, as depicted in the different local names that describe this supernatural being. The African cultural worldview foregrounds that virtuous rapport with the Supreme Being provides wisdom and facilitates good cohabitation among humans. It is argued in this article that teachings from the Christian Bible contribute negatively to the disintegration, fragmentation and death of indigenous knowledge systems, which include African cultural values, memory and oral traditions. Recently, some African scholars have begun to create awareness of some of Africa’s lost treasures. However, such contributions are disappointingly few. This study argues that memory and orality among Africans should be promoted and supported through various platforms, such as academic writing. This article will discuss memory, orality and ‘God-talk’ in terms of the following: teachings on moral values (e.g. relationships, marriage, humaneness [ubuntu or hunhu]) and the preservation of cultural heritage. The discussion uses qualitative analysis of secondary data and personal observation.Contribution: Firstly, the present study will provide for the readership in general, and academia in particular, a new perspective on African customs and indigenous belief systems about a Supreme Being. For example, Musiki as a Shona local dialect name for ‘God’ was already in use before the emergence of Christianity in Southern Africa. Secondly, previous contributions have not sufficiently explored memory and orality. This investigation serves as a resource or starting point for further research on memory and orality.
The Pongola Bush: Tree diversity assessment in a KwaZulu-Natal forest patch
Authors: Hall Timothy F. , Scholes Mary C. , Scholes Robert J.
Published: September 2022

The Pongola Bush Nature Reserve lies in a narrow band along the escarpment between Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal (KZN). Although referred to as ‘bush’, this vegetation type may be considered to fit into the intersection of two types of scarp forest: the Northern Afrotemperate Forest and the Southern Mistbelt Forest. The area was heavily logged in the early 1900s with the need for timber for the emerging gold mining industry in Barberton. The forest fragment is now protected but lacks formal tree diversity assessments, and this study sets out to establish its community composition and richness using a range of standard techniques. Distributed throughout the forest, 127 circular plots (each 80 m2) were surveyed. In these, 1152 stems were measured for species, height, and diameter at breast height (DBH). Four species contributed roughly 70% of the 70 Mg ha−1 above ground woody biomass. Stem size class distributions showed a high recruitment rate of small stemmed individuals and few large individuals. This pattern is consistent with the disturbance history of the site, with limited recruitment of certain species, mainly limited to early successional species. The Pongola Bush forest is particularly diverse in terms of tree species: 41 species were recorded, and it is estimated from the species area curve that there may be 70 tree species present.Conservation implications: This survey is the first formal tree diversity survey conducted on the Pongola Bush which may assist future research and conservation strategies.
Utilisation of village health workers’ services for tuberculosis screening in Lesotho
Authors: Thetsane Regina M. , Mokhethi Motšelisi , Ramathebane Maseabata , Leseba Nthatisi
Published: September 2022

Background: Village health workers (VHWs) play an essential role because they extend the capacity of primary healthcare, particularly for developing countries. In Lesotho, VHWs are part of the primary healthcare connecting the community with clinics in their respective villages. They contribute to the prevention of the spread of tuberculosis (TB) within their catchment areas by encouraging communities to partake in TB screening. This study aimed at identifying factors associated with the utilisation of VHWs’ service to undertake TB screenings in Lesotho.Methods: This study emanates from the main study that used a cross-sectional descriptive design. A total of 19 health service areas (HSAs) comprised 17 catchment areas and two clinics, each randomly selected from the District Health Management Team (DHMT) and the Lesotho Flying Doctors Service (LFDS), respectively. A total of 2928 individual household members aged 15 and above were included in the study. Data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: There were more female than male respondents, with a majority (77%) below 65 years of age. Tuberculosis knowledge of respondents was mostly on the TB symptoms and curability of TB, but they were less knowledgeable about the causes of TB. The use of VHWs’ services for TB screening was very low (23.3%).Conclusion: The study revealed that while respondents were to some extent knowledgeable about TB, their utilisation of VHWs’ services for TB screening varied with education level, having worked in South Africa and the household size at α = 0.01.
Teachers’ experiences of indigenous games in the early grades
Authors: Hadebe-Ndlovu Blanche N.
Published: September 2022

Background: This research foregrounds inclusive education (IE) values by way of indigenous games. The outline of the South African national curriculum states that its main aim is to teach its children and youth to become members of a refinement that supports the values which are democratic, the human rights, and communal justice. However, the associated instructional methodologies that have long been a societal tool in instilling these values at an early stage of child development have been largely disregarded in achieving this goal. Indigenous games rely on specific values and traits from children’s cultural heritage.Aim: The study aimed to find out how teachers experience the use of indigenous games in teaching mathematics in IE schools.Setting: Six IE schools in the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa.Methods: Semistructured interviews and teacher narratives, framed by the philosophy of ubuntu, were employed to generate data. These data were analysed in conventional qualitative methodology fashion.Results: The study showed that teachers believe that indigenous games encourage and endorse spontaneous interaction among learners as they communicate with their classmates and recognise the form of play from their community life.Conclusion: Teachers require specialised IE programmes as well as pedagogical formats to advance indigenous games.
Influence of Social Disadvantage Among Children Admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Unit of a Tertiary Hospital in Nigeria
Authors: Agelebe E , Oseni SB , Adebami OJ , Oyedeji OA , Odeyemi AO
Published: September 2022

Background:

Social disadvantage has an influence on the health of individuals. In developed countries, the prevalence, pattern of social disadvantage, and the outcome of admissions in socially disadvantaged children are under-studied.

Aim:

To determine the prevalence of social disadvantage, pattern of diseases, and illness outcomes among socially disadvantaged children.

Patients and Methods:

This was a prospective hospital-based study involving 400 patients who presented at the pediatric emergency unit (PEU) of a tertiary hospital in Southwest Nigeria. Information on socio-demography and history of illness was obtained from consecutive children using a proforma. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.

Results:

The 400 participants comprised 276 male and 124 female giving a ratio of 2.2:1. Their age range was 1–14 years; the mean ± SD age was 4.6 ± 2.3. Three hundred (75%) of the children were socially disadvantaged. The social factors associated with social disadvantage were low income, unemployment of mothers, polygamous setting, single parenting, rural residence, and low registration for health insurance. There was a significant association between social disadvantage and the development of malaria (P = 0.03), pneumonia (P = 0.01), septicemia (P = 0.03), diarrhea diseases (P = 0.04), neonatal jaundice (P = 0.04), meningitis (P = 0.04), and protein-energy malnutrition (P = 0.003). Death was significantly worse among the children who are socially disadvantaged (P = 0.0001).

Conclusion:

Many children admitted to the PEU in Osogbo are socially disadvantaged. Children of low-income parents, unemployed mother, single parent, residents of rural places, and those without health insurance are more vulnerable to developing infectious disease as well as neonatal jaundice and protein-energy malnutrition. Socially disadvantage increases the risk of poor illness outcome (death).
Ischemia-Modified Albumin (IMA) Levels in Ectopic Pregnancy and Early Pregnancy Loss
Authors: Dogan K , Helvacioglu C , Baghaki S , Kural A , Dogan M
Published: September 2022

Background:

IMA is a novel marker to consider in ischemic conditions. The initial stages of pregnancy represent a physiological ischemic status. IMA levels may be changed when there is suspicion of early pregnancy complications because of increased oxidative stress.

Aim:

We aimed to determine and compare IMA values in cases of ectopic and healthy pregnancies as well as early pregnancy loss.

Methods:

This prospective case control study population (n = 91) consisted of early pregnancy loss (n = 28), ectopic pregnancy (n = 28), and an intracavitary early healthy pregnancy (n = 35). The serum IMA levels were compared in these groups.

Results:

Demographic parameters were similar and there was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of serum IMA concentrations.

Conclusion:

We suggested that IMA cannot be used clinically for the diagnosis and follow up of early pregnancy complications during the first five to six gestational weeks.

Published: September 2022

Aim:

This article aims to study the clinical outcomes in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) who underwent burr hole drainage or craniotomy.

Patients and Methods:

The length of hospitalization, Glasgow outcome scales (GOS) of patients undergoing burr-hole drainage or craniotomy, were evaluated and compared statistically. In this study, we also evaluated the relationship by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis.

Results:

The sex and age distribution and specific clinical parameters of the patients were investigated. In this study, we provide the evidence of the GOS and length of hospitalization findings of the patients and the superiority of burr hole drainage over craniotomy.

Conclusions:

Chronic subdural hematoma responds better to burr hole drainage with shorter hospitalization and improved Glasgow score.
Three-Dimensional Evaluation of the Effect of Platelet-Rich Fibrin on Edema in Lower Impacted Third Molar Surgery Performed with Piezosurgery
Authors: Konuk B , Şentürk MF
Published: September 2022

Background:

Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are widely used in impacted lower third molar (IL3M) 7 surgery and its effect on postoperative edema was generally analysed with linear methods.

Aim:

To analyze the effectiveness of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) applied to the socket after tooth extraction in impacted lower third molar (IL3M) surgery performed with piezosurgery in the reduction of edema observed in the postoperative period, together with conventional (linear) and three-dimensional (volumetric) measurement methods.

Materials and Method:

The study was designed as a prospective randomized split-mouth study and was conducted on 30 patients with bilateral IL3M teeth. Extraction of the patients' IL3M teeth was performed in the same session with the help of piezosurgery. After the extraction, PRF was randomly applied to one socket, but it was not applied to the other socket, which formed the control group. On the first, second, and seventh days after the procedure, volume was measured using 3dMD, and the distance between the topographic guide points was measured using a flexible ruler. The results were analyzed statistically. Alveolar osteitis (AO) presence was also recorded.

Results:

A significant improvement in edema was observed in both groups, but no significant difference was found between the groups (P > 0.05). A moderate correlation was found between the two methods of measuring edema. AO was not seen in any patient.

Conclusions:

Although PRF reduces edema after IL3M tooth extraction and 3dMD is effective in its evaluation, it has no statistical advantage over classical methods.
A Postpartum Arteriovenous Malformation Case Diagnosed with Late Postpartum Bleeding
Authors: Öztürk AC , Varli EN , Çağlar AT , Korkmaz V
Published: September 2022

Postpartum hemorrhage is the most important and also preventable cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare cause of postpartum hemorrhage. We present a case of arteriovenous malformation, which may be one of the rare but potentially fatal causes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). In the case report, on the postpartum 52nd day, the patient presented to the emergency department with a complaint of vaginal bleeding. Doppler ultrasonography revealed a lesion compatible with the vascular structure, the largest diameter of 28 * 28 mm, in the uterus. The patient was found not eligible for embolization, and a hysterectomy was then indicated. After the hysterectomy, the pathology diagnosis supported the initial clinical and radiological suspicions of AVM. Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment method of AVM and should be considered in patients who are not eligible for embolization. This case is presented to draw the attention of physicians to AVM as a possible cause of secondary PPH.
The Relationship Between Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Periodontitis in Turkish Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Yildiz A Saatman , Üstündağ FD , Tiber PM , Doğan B
Published: September 2022

Background and Aim:

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as periodontitis and diabetes mellitus (DM). The present study aimed to evaluate the distributions of VDR polymorphisms in diabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (DMH), diabetic individuals with periodontitis (DMP), nondiabetic individuals with healthy periodontium (H), and nondiabetic individuals with periodontitis (P).

Material and Methods:

A total of 200 individuals (DMH = 40, DMP = 60, H = 40, and P = 60) were recruited. All clinical periodontal parameters, demographical, and biochemical variables were recorded. Blood samples were collected, and genomic DNA was isolated by Purelink® Genomic DNA Mini Kit. Genotyping of VDR polymorphisms ApaI, BsmI, FokI, and TaqI were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using allele-specific probes.

Results:

The distribution of the BsmI variant showed differences between DMH and H groups (P = 0.034). In addition, carrying the GG genotype (OR = 0.317; 95% CI = 0.126–0.797; P = 0.013) and the G allele (OR = 2.373; 95% CI = 1.203–4.681; P = 0.012) increased the risk of type 2 DM. Moreover, it was determined that the frequency of CC genotype of FokI variant was higher in DMP compared to DMH (P = 0.046). It was determined that having the CC genotype (OR = 2.706; 95% CI = 1.185–6.176; P = 0.017) and the C allele (OR = 1.917; 95% CI = 0.995–3.694; P = 0.049) increased the risk of periodontitis among diabetic individuals. No differences were detected among groups in the genotype and allele distributions of ApaI and TaqI variants (P > 0.05).

Conclusions:

The present study showed that the BsmI variant was a risk factor for DM among periodontally healthy individuals and the FokI variant for periodontitis among diabetic individuals.

As the need for drinkable water increases, thermal and membrane desalination of seawater have emerged as the two most effective solutions. Both thermal and membrane desalination systems, however, release large quantities of concentrated brine back into the sea. The continuous discharge of enormous amount of brine into the sea will disrupt the aquatic ecosystem and increase the seawater salinity level. In this study, spray dry technology is utilized for isolation of minerals from reverse osmosis brine and there by achieving zero liquid discharge concept. The procedure involves spraying feed into a chamber, followed by the introduction of heated air. The flow rates of the spray dryer and hot air can be adjusted. Consequently, the amount and concentration of feed residue in the chamber can be altered. The residue from the first vaporization chamber was cooled to a specified temperature and centrifuged to separate the minerals in crystal form. The centrifuge reject was fed to a second vaporization chamber for further concentration and separation of pure mineral salts. This cycle was repeated between two and six times to isolate all significant minerals from the brine. The vaporized water from all chambers was condensed to generate pure water as a by-product.
Do Credits Affect Money Supply and Deposits, or Vice Versa, or Interconnected?
Authors: TİRYAKİ Göksel , HASANOV Mübariz
Published: September 2022

There are different approaches regarding the effect of credits on deposits and money

supply. In particular, the view that banks do not need deposits to create credit has become

increasingly popular. In this paper we empirically investigate the relationship among money

supply, credits and deposits based on the Turkish experience. Specifically, using quarterly

observations on M1, M2, M3, deposits in Turkish Lira (TL-Lira) and Foreign Currency (FX)

deposits as well as credits spanning the December 2005 - September 2021 period we find

that credits have significant effects on money stock and deposits. However, our results also

suggest that credits are not the most important determinant of money supply or deposits.

While our results suggest that credits may generate money and deposits endogenously, this

finding does not imply that money is purely an endogenous variable.

Published: September 2022

This paper presents the birth of the institutional repository of open science of the Autonomous University of Carmen called Runacar in February 2020 and its evolution to date. In this sense, throughout the implementation of the institutional repository in the University they have encountered a diversity of problems at the time of the population of the repository, on the one hand, by the integration of the resources of academic, scientific, technological and innovation information generated in the University, and on the other hand, the resources that integrate the professors-researchers of the University. Therefore, the methodology used and the recommendations for the continuous population of the institutional repository are evidenced, as well as to keep the appropriate metadata record for interoperability with the national repository and with the Mexican network of institutional repositories.
On an Estimate of M. M. Djrbashyan's Product $B_{\omega}$
Authors: Таварацян Т.В.
Published: September 2022

В середине 60-х гг. М.~М.~Джрбашяном был предложен новый метод для определения и факторизации обширных классов функций, мероморфных в единичном круге. Эти классы, которые обозначаются через $N\{\omega\}$, обладают сложной структурой и охватывают все мероморфные в единичном круге функции за счет того, что зависят от функционального параметра $\omega (x)$. Они переходят в классы $N_{\alpha}$ в случае $\omega (x)=(1-x)^{\alpha }$, $-1<\alpha <+\infty$, а в специальном случае $\omega (x)\equiv 1$ класс $N\{\omega\}$ совпадает с классом~$N$ Неванлинны.Фундаментальную роль в теории факторазации этих классов играют произведения $B_{\omega}$ М.~М.~Джрбашяна, которые в случае $\omega(x)=(1-x)^{\alpha}$, $-1<\alpha <+\infty$, превращаются в произведения $B_{\alpha }$М.~М.~Джрбашяна. В специальном случае $\omega (x)\equiv 1$ произведения $B_{\omega }$ превращаются в произведения Бляшке.В.~С.~Захарян, пользуясь известной теоремой о~неотрицательных тригонометрических рядах, получил оценки сверху для модулей функций $B_{\alpha }$ при $-1<\alpha <0$. В этой работе сначала подобным методом доказывается, что$U_{\omega }(z;\zeta )\ge 0$, где $U_{\omega }$~--- некоторая вспомогательная функция. Далее, пользуясь этим результатом, приводятся оценки сверху для модулей произведений $B_{\omega}$, когда $\omega (x)\in \Omega_0$.

В настоящей работе исследуется задача Дирихле для уравнения диффузии с дробной производной Капуто в многомерном случае в области с произвольной границей. Вместо исходного уравнения рассматривается уравнение диффузии с дробной производной Капуто с малым параметром. Построена локально-одномерная разностная схема А.~А.~Самарского, основная суть которой состоит в сведении перехода со слоя на слой к последовательному решению ряда одномерных задач по каждому из координатных направлений. При этом каждая из вспомогательных задач может не аппроксимировать исходную задачу, но в совокупности и в специальных нормах такая аппроксимация имеет место. Эти методы были названы методами расщепления. С помощью принципа максимума получена априорная оценка в равномерной метрике в норме $C$. Доказаны устойчивость локально-одномерной разностной схемы и равномерная сходимость приближенного решения предложенной разностной схемы к решению исходной дифференциальной задачи при любых $0<\alpha<1$. Проведен анализ выбора оптимальных значений $\varepsilon$, при которых скорость равномерной сходимости приближенного решения рассматриваемой разностной схемы к решению исходной дифференциальной задачи будет определяться наилучшим образом.

La reforma a la Ley Federal del Trabajo, nacida eminentemente del sector empresarial de México y respaldada por la corriente globalizadora, matizada por el cumplimiento de compromisos en materia de comercio internacional,  no ha contribuido, ni en el ámbito sustantivo ni en el ámbito procesal,  para otorgar a los trabajadores un escenario pertinente para gozar de un trabajo decente ni tener acceso a una impartición de justicia pronta y expedita, al continuarse violentando principios y derechos fundamentales de los trabajadores.

Published: September 2022

En este artículo se muestra el diseño y construcción de una celda flexible didáctica para la separación automática de objetos de diferentes materiales. La celda es controlada mediante un microcontrolador PIC16F876 y monitoreada desde una computadora mediante una interfaz gráfica de usuario. Se utilizaron las redes de Petri interpretadas (RPI) para modelar la celda y diseñar los controladores. La celda fue programada para realizar dos funciones: separar piezas de acuerdo a la naturaleza del material (plástico, vidrio y metal) en contenedores particulares, y separar los objetos de metal en contenedores diferentes en secuencias definidas por el usuario, por ejemplo de 2 en 2. La interfaz gráfica permite arrancar y detener la celda, seleccionar entre las funciones de control, además de mostrar una animación del estado de la celda en tiempo real. La aplicación muestra un conteo por cada tipo de material separado y depositado en cada contenedor, guardando un registro en una base de datos.
