Effects of Adherence to Environmental Rules and Regulations in Stone Quarrying at Tuluongoi Sublocation of Baringo County, Kenya
Authors: Kibii Caroline J. , Ndolo Isaac J
Published: December 2021

Stone quarrying has been recognized as a socioeconomic activity serving as a fundamental source of livelihood for some communities. Nonetheless, most operations are often accompanied by adverse effects on the same communities and the environment. The objective of this study was to determine the level of awareness of environmental rules, regulations, and principles governing stone quarrying in Tuluongoi sublocation, Tenges Division, Baringo County. The study also sought to establish whether there is a linkage between awareness of environmental rules, principles, and regulations governing stone quarrying and the impacts on the environment. Two villages were chosen for the study. The stratified sampling procedure was used to pick 120 households from the two villages, the total number (97) of regular quarry workers was enumerated, and purposive sampling was used to select six key informants. The quarry workers and household heads were the primary units for data collection. Primary data were collected by using questionnaires, in-depth interviews, observations, and pictorials. Secondary data were obtained from census reports, peer-reviewed journals, county strategic plans, unpublished theses, and scholarly books. Some data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages, while the SPSS software was used to generate tables, graphs, and frequencies. The chi-square procedure was used to test whether the awareness of environmental rules and regulations on stone quarrying were significantly independent of environmental degradation at the 0.05 significance level. The study established that 55.1% of quarry workers and 65% of household heads were unaware of any environmental rules, regulations, and principles governing stone quarrying. Out of those aware, 88.9% of household heads and 67.7% of quarry workers had poor awareness of environmental regulations and requirements. The study recommends that National Environment Management Authority promotes and enforces environmental rules, regulations, policies, and principles governing stone quarrying in collaboration with the relevant county government departments by enhancing awareness among the residents.

Authors: Kapuci Umut
Published: December 2021

Bu çalışmada, günümüzde Aydın Arkeoloji Müzesi’nde korunan ve Aydın ili, Bozdoğan ilçesi, Bozdoğan İlkokulu’ndan getirilerek müzeye kazandırılan bir büst ile birlikte figürlü bir masa ayağı parçası ele alınmıştır. Amaç, tekil örnekler olsa da Karia Bölgesi’nin Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi heykeltıraşlık literatürüne katkı sağlayarak Bargasa/Piginda buluntusu eserleri bilim dünyasına sunmaktır. Bu doğrultuda plastik eserlerin tipolojik ve stilistik açıdan ait oldukları dönem özellikleri ve heykeltıraşlık merkezleri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Figürlü masa ayağı bu çalışmada ilk kez değerlendirilmekte, daha önce kataloğu yayımlanmış büst ise farklı önerilerle yeniden ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma içeriğinde irdelenen eserlerin kazı malzemesi olmaması ve envanter kayıtlarında buluntu durumları ile ilgili bilgi bulunmaması nedeniyle genel olarak Karia Bölgesi ve yakın coğrafyadaki Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi heykeltıraşlık eserleriyle analoji yoluyla tarihlenebilmiştir. Araştırma içeriğinde değerlendirilen figürlü masa ayağı parçası için Roma İmparatorluk Dönemi’nde İS 1. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı -Flaviuslar Dönemi-, privat erkek büstü için İS 3. yüzyılın ikinci çeyreği -Asker İmparatorlar Dönemi- tarihi önerilmektedir. Analojik değerlendirmeler sonucunda, incelenen yontuların Aphrodisias, Tralleis ve Nysa gibi yakın merkezlerdeki eserlerin stil özelliklerini yansıttığı anlaşılmıştır.

Published: December 2021

O presente estudo busca demonstrar a vulnerabilidade do consumidor em decorrência das mídias sociais, e, na hipótese, discutir a responsabilização do Influenciador Digital pelos eventuais prejuízos que ele causar em função de suas publicidades. Com isso, a metodologia utilizada se baseia de modo geral em uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica, de cunho qualitativo, dentro do ramo do Direito do Consumidor, como uma ciência social aplicada, possuindo natureza básica, mas também é usado o método de pesquisa exploratória, a fim de buscar soluções sobre a problemática desencadeada. Os resultados obtidos a partir do estudo se mostram importantes, tendo em vista a inexistência de legislação específica para regular as situações conflituosas em que o consumidor está corriqueiramente sendo submetido, onde o maior papel do estudo foi compreender de que maneira o direito pode, nessas condições, agir para equilibrar os conflitos e proteger o direito lesado em decorrência das relações de consumo proporcionadas pela internet.

DESTABILIZING EUROPE: RUSSIA’S HYBRID WARFARE
Authors: Parakhonsky Borys , Yavorska Galina
Published: December 2021

The European Union is in a political and security crisis. The crisis tends to become existential, which undermines the future of the EU as an integration project. The conflict of values between liberal democracy and authoritarianism is becoming an important factor in international security.

Negative current trends in the international security environment increase risks for the EU. In its foreign policy the EU does not demonstrate the ability to speak with one voice. It does not support EU’s ambition to be a global international actor. Within the EU, centrifugal tendencies and Euroscepticism appear to be gaining ground. Among the destructive external and internal factors affecting European security, the hybrid threat posed by Moscow’s ambitious plans and aggressive actions is at the forefront. These actions are aimed at undermining democracies, international solidarity and security. Russia is systematically acting to destabilize the EU, using a set of means of destructive influence, trying to undermine European unity both externally and internally.

Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, operations in Syria and Libya, interference in domestic processes in the EU, etc., are exacerbating destructive trends in the European security environment. In this con- text, the EU faces the need to increase its resilience, as a tool to deter destructive actions of the Russian Federation and a means to mitigate their effect.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the causes and consequences of Russia’s  hybrid influence against the EU, plus to identify the means of Russia’s destructive impact, such as the spread of misinformation, active special operations, energy pressure, etc.

The article examines the imperatives of Russian foreign policy, the impact of the value crisis on the European project and its future, as well as obstacles to strategic dialogue between the EU and Russia.

Europe returns to searching for its collective European identity, discussing revitalization of the global European narrative. Maintaining a system of liberal democratic values is a key precondition for the future of the EU in order to avoid the risk of disintegration of the European Union.

Sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, its national security could be guaranteed only by full-fledged integration into the European political, economic and security space. Europe’s hesitations regarding the European perspective for Ukraine, which arise under pressure from the Kremlin and internal contradictions in the EU, negatively affect the security environment  in Europe.

За даними Всеукраїнського перепису населення від 2001 р., кількість ромів в Україні становить 47 тис. осіб. За неофіційними оцінками, в країні можуть проживати спільноти від 200 тис. до 400 тис. ромів, причому ці спільноти мають різний ступінь інтегрованості в українське суспільство. Ромська спільнота залишається однією з найбільш уразливих соціальних груп в українському суспільстві, попри завершення дії Стратегії захисту та інтеграції в українське суспільство ромської національної меншини на період до 2020 року (Стратегія 2020) та Плану заходів з її реалізації. Нову стратегію інтеграції ромів затверджено Розпорядженням КМУ від 28 липня 2021 р. № 866-р. «Про схвалення Стратегії сприяння реалізації прав і можливостей осіб, які належать до ромської національної меншини, в українському суспільстві на період до 2030 року» (Стратегія 2030). Триває розроблення Плану заходів на виконання Стратегії 2030. Необхідність вироблення ефективної політики щодо інтеграції ромської спільноти відповідає євроінтеграційним прагненням України, а також є частиною практики впровадження кращого європейського досвіду в процесі оптимізації державної політики щодо міноритарних спільнот.
Jean Richer na Guiana francesa (1672-1673)
Authors: Polidori Laurent
Published: December 2021

A astronomia, que conheceu um desenvolvimento sem precedentes no século XVII, e a geodésia, que aplica a astronomia para determinar o tamanho e a forma da Terra, estiveram no centro das atividades da Académie Royale des Sciences, fundada em Paris em 1666. Ao lado de astrônomos de renome como Huygens, Picard e Cassini, este artigo é dedicado a Jean Richer, que permaneceu pouco conhecido apesar das observações essenciais que fez durante a sua missão a Caiena (1672-1673), que contribuíram para o conhecimento da dimensão do sistema solar e da forma da Terra. O artigo também discute a forma enviesada como os resultados dessa missão foram reproduzidos na literatura científica subsequente.

Authors: SİPAHİ Nisa , AĞYAR YOLDAŞ Pınar
Published: December 2021

Objective: Ethanol extraction is the most popular technique for the production of propolis extracts. However, this method may not be suitable for various clinical conditions. Based on it, we composed a trial product with an olive-oil extraction as an alternative method. Furthermore, we crafted combinations to reinforce and synergize the antimicrobial activity of the trial propolis product. Finally, we compared our trial products with the existing marketing products in Turkey. The present study aimed to determine chemical compounds and the antimicrobial activity of some propolis samples selected from Turkey and compare the mentioned features with the olive-oil- trial products we composed for the study.

Material-Methods: Four different samples, as trial and final products, were crafted for the study. Trail products conducted as sample 1 to 4 (S1, S2, S3 and S4). The trial products were compared with the four other propolis and propolis-containing combined products currently exciting on the market. Four different trademarks were used, and the Trademarks (TM) was called TM1, TM2 TM3, and TM4. Determination of Total Phenolic Compound (TPC) was analyzed according to the Folin-Ciocalteau method. The antimicrobial activity test was determined according to the Kirby-Bauer method.

Results: The highest TPC ratio was detected in the trademark 2 (TM2), and the lowest TPC ratio was determined in the TM4 samples, 19553.12 GAE mg/L and 740.9 GAE mg/L, respectively. The TPC ratio of the final trial product sample 4 (S4) was defined as 6519.3 GAE mg/L. The highest inhibitation zone against E. coli, K. pneumoniae, S. aureus strains was observed in S1 (the oleuropein-containing trial product). The highest inhabitation zone against C. albicans and C. krusei yeasts was observed in TM1 and S4 (the oleuropein and boron-containing trial propolis product) samples.

Conclusion: The S4 product, containing boron, oleuropein, and propolis, had a higher inhibitation zone diameters compared to the commercial brands. Furthermore, all the propolis products analyzed in this study had rich phenolic components; the curative and beneficial impacts of phenolic components on health merit further investigations.
Effect of Traditional Knowledge System in Sustainable Development and Management of Natural Resources in Meru Community
Authors:   Tangaza University College, Muthamia Stephen Mbae
Published: December 2021

This paper aimed at studying the effect of traditional knowledge system in sustainable development and management of natural resources in Meru community. The study was guided by the following questions: What is the role of indigenous system in the protection and conservation of natural resources in Meru community? What is the role of integrated environmental management frame work in the sustainable development and management of natural resources in Meru community? What is the relationship between participatory decision making, policy maker’s implementation and natural resources users in Meru community? The research was conducted in Meru and Tharaka Nithi Counties and through purposeful sampling had two case studies from each county in Meru community. Data was collected using guided interviews and semi structured questions. The data was collected through a focus group discussion, documents and audio-visual materials. The study reviewed the literature to understand the effect of traditional knowledge system in sustainable development and management of natural resources in Meru community. Theoretical insights and empirical findings from the studies suggest that despite the generalized worldwide trend of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) erosion, substantial pockets of TEK persist in both developing and developed countries. The findings also reinforce previous hypotheses pointing at the importance of TEK systems as reservoirs of experiential knowledge that can provide important insights for the design of adaptation and mitigation strategies to cope with global environmental change in the management of natural resources. Recognition of endogenous management of Indigenous knowledge becomes an enhancing solution to the seemingly mega challenges of community development. Indigenous knowledge is a more secure foundation for sustainable solutions to challenges in developmental issues in communities and in Africa. Advanced technology in Indigenous knowledge (IK) usage and preservation empowers users to improve on pre-existing solutions to a problem, achieve a goal, and most of all improve on the standards of living. Keywords: Traditional knowledge System, development and management, Natural Resources, Meru community

Authors:   Kenyatta University, Okwemba Jael Atieno , Njuguna Dr. Njeri ,   Kenyatta University
Published: December 2021

The environmental scanning been recognized as a vital management tool for well-performing companies. It includes collecting information within the organization's internal, industrial, and external environment that affect performance. The performance Chemelil Sugar Company in Kisumu County has been incompatible with the company's envisage strategic development plan. The company posted a loss of K.sh 821 million in the year June 2018, which is an increase compared to the loss of K.sh 767.25 million incurred in 2016. This formed the motive of the study to examine the effect of environmental scanning on the performance of Chemelil Sugar Company. The study was anchored on open system theory. The research adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was 60. The study focused on the heads of departments as the key respondents. The research instruments used in the study were questionnaires. The study conducted a census because the population size was small and for accuracy. The study applied purposive sampling technique. It was found that environmental scanning is positively and significantly related to performance. The results of regression analysis established that environmental scanning is positively and significantly related to performance (?=.840, p =.035). Thus, a unit increase in environmental scanning practices while holding all other factors constant, increases performance by 0.840 units. The study recommended that the company need to look at the internal analysis, industrial analysis and external analysis to maintain a higher performance level. The company can regularly analyze its industrial environment to determine its opportunities and threats using Porter's Five Factor analysis tool. In addition, it is recommended that the company need to regularly analyze its internal environmental factors to determine its strengths and weaknesses using SWOT as an analysis tool. Conducting environmental audit is necessary and the company needs to prepare plans to cope with dynamically changing environments.

LEO STRAUSS, TİRANLIK VE HIERO’NUN PLATONCU OKUMASI
Authors: BAŞTÜRK Efe
Published: December 2021

Ksenophon’un Hiero adlı eseri, Hiero adlı bir tiran ile Simonides isimli şair arasındaki sohbeti konu alır. Hiero, Simonides’e, sıradan insanlar gibi mutlu olamadığından yakınır. Simonides ise Hiero’nun mutlu olabileceğini, bunun için gerekli olan şeyin halkın mutluluğunu sağlamak olduğunu söyler. Leo Strauss, bu sohbette tiranlığa dair pek çok önemli unsuru görebileceğimizi söyler. Öncelikle tiran, halkın esenliği için kaygı duyabilecek bir monark değildir. Ayrıca tiranın mutsuzluğunun asıl sebebi, ortak iyinin ve onun nasıl gerçekleştirilebilir olduğuna ilişkin bilgi sahibi olmamasıdır. Tiran, kendi kanılarının yönlendirmesi altında herkesten şüphe duyan birisidir ve bu açıdan tiran, kimseyle dostluk ilişkisi geliştiremez. Strauss, tiranın mutsuzluğunu, ezoterik bir düzeyde okumaya çalışır. Bu ezoterik okuma, Platon’un politika felsefesinde belirlenmiş hususlarla aydınlatılmaya çalışılır. Bu makale, Strauss’un, Platon okuması üzerinden Hiero metnine nasıl yaklaştığını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.

A negação da ligação entre poluição e mudanças climáticas faz parte de um antigo debate entre cientistas e política. Mas para entender as raízes da questão não é possível transcender de alguns lugares e personagens pertencentes à esfera do patrocínio e da finança global. Isso levou a um esforço para medir e localizar exatamente as emissões de gases de efeito estufa. As medições visavam estudar os fluxos de CO2 entre terra e atmosfera nas diversas proporções e comparar os resultados entre as diferentes áreas, avaliar as influências com fatores climáticos e meteorológicos, avaliar a influência do manejo florestal e dos incêndios florestais.
 
The denial of the link between pollution and climate change is part of an old debate among scientists and politics. But to understand the roots of the issue it is not possible to transcend from a few places and characters belonging to the sphere of global patronage and finance. This led to an effort to measure and precisely track greenhouse gas emissions. The measurements aimed to study the CO2 fluxes between land and atmosphere in various proportions and compare the results between different areas, evaluate the influences with climatic and meteorological factors, evaluate the influence of forest management and forest fires.
Práticas educativas no ensino de História sobre Judeus/Judaísmo
Authors: Araújo Rosângela de Arruda Araújo
Published: December 2021

The theme about Jewish immigration in Brazil gains relevance from the work of the History teacher with themes directly linked to the way of life, adaptation and the result of power relations exercised by the descendents of Jews settled in the city of Ponta Grossa-PR. The educational practices that underlie the teaching of History depend on the historian's ability to contextualize and make references to other themes of interest, in order to allow the student, when inserted in the context, to make readings according to the content of the proposed activities. In a second moment, subthemes such as identity, memory, religion and politics are approached, which interfere in the ways of acceptance by society about historical facts and/or perceptions around the identity of the Jewish community of immigrants and expatriates in Brazil.
 
O tema da imigração judaica no Brasil ganha relevância com o trabalho do professor de História com temas directamente ligados ao modo de vida, adaptação e resultado das relações de poder exercidas pelos descendentes dos judeus instalados na cidade de Ponta Grossa-PR. As práticas educativas subjacentes ao ensino da História dependem da capacidade do historiador de contextualizar e fazer referências a outros temas de interesse, de modo a permitir ao aluno, quando inserido no contexto, fazer leituras de acordo com o conteúdo das actividades propostas. Num segundo momento, são abordados subtemas como identidade, memória, religião e política, que interferem nas formas de aceitação pela sociedade sobre factos históricos e/ou percepções em torno da identidade da comunidade judaica de imigrantes e expatriados no Brasil.
Reconstructing
the childhood diet of the individuals from the Middle Late Bronze Age Bezdanjača Cave, Croatia (ca. 1430 1290 BCE) using stable C and N isotope analysis of dentin collagen
Authors: Martinoia Valentina , Benazzi Stefano , Carić Mario , Radović Siniša
Published: December 2021

This paper investigates the childhood diet of 16 individuals from the Middle Late Bronze Age (1430 1290 BCE) Bezdanjača Cave (Lika region, Croatia) using stable isotope analysis of dentin collagen from permanent
first molars. Results from the analysis reveal that the individuals from Bezdanjača consumed notable quantities of C4 plants during their childhood. The most common C4 plant is millet, whose spread throughout Southern Europe was recently dated to the second half of the 2nd millennium BCE, which agrees with the results obtained in this research.
Comparisons between the data collected for the individuals from Bezdanjača and other Middle and Late Bronze Age sites in Croatia suggest
that only the individuals from the site of Veliki Vital (Middle Bronze Age, inland Croatia) exhibit similar isotopic values to those from Bezdanjača. Human isotopic values from coastal sites, however, reveal that during the Middle and Late Bronze Age people from the coast had diet that still predominantly contained C3 plant-based foods, which appears to suggest that the dispersion of this crop in Croatia during the Bronze Age followed an east-west trajectory, appearing earlier (Middle and Late Bronze Age) in inland settlements such as Veliki Vital and Bezdanjača and only later (Late Bronze Age and mostly Iron Age) in coastal sites.
A case of bipartite patella and vastus notch from Kneževići hillfort - Malo Libinje, Croatia
Authors: Kriletić Barbara , Vuković Morana , Carić Mario
Published: December 2021

Here we present six adult patellae with superolateral
concave defects observed amongst the remains of at least 28 individuals
retrieved from four Late Iron Age burials from Kneževići hillfort - Malo Libinje,
Croatia. The right patella of an adult individual displays a rough-edged
concave defect on superolateral side of the bone called bipartite patella. Other
five patellae show concave defects with smooth edges also located on superolateral
side; a defect known as vastus notch. Though physically similar, the two
conditions are etiologically distinct. A large amount of observed cases of
vastus notch in this assemblage may indicate that these individuals frequently
performed activities involving kneeling and/or squatting. This is the first
documented case of joint occurrence of bipartite patella and vastus notch in a
Croatian skeletal assemblage, but also the largest amount of patellae with
vastus notch in an archaeological population from Croatia recorded so far.

Las transformaciones socioeconómicas y el Trabajo Social: Retos y posibilidades para la justicia social
Authors: Díaz Argueta Julio César
Published: December 2021

El artículo presenta un análisis crítico de las transformaciones socioeconómicas a nivel mundial, su incidencia en las formas de producción y formas de vida que trasciende la esfera económica impactando las condiciones de gobernabilidad de nuestros países, según el modelo de desarrollo vigente. Estas transformaciones plantean la necesidad de repensar el bien común, la justicia social, el desarrollo, la familia, la persona humana, el Estado y las políticas públicas,como parte de lo social y redimensionar con ello, la cuestión social como ámbito natural de intervención del Trabajo Social. Se parte de entender que el Trabajo Social aporta a crear condiciones de justicia social, al buscar acciones necesarias para incluir y favorecer a todos aquellos sectores poblacionales que no han sido favorecidos por el sistema, creando oportunidades con fundamento en los derechos económicos, sociales y culturales. En el artículo también se plantean los principales retos para profesionales del Trabajo Social para recuperar y fortalecer sus expectativas por un mundo mejor, y vencer estereotipos y estigmas que le otorgan una visión de profesión subsidiaria a otras. Además, se afirma en la posibilidad de una nueva perspectiva de intervención social, en el ánimo de contribuir a la satisfacción de las necesidades auténticas.

Los discursos mundialmente elaborados que abarcan conceptualmente asuntos sobre el progreso de los pobres a través de su autogestión, han permitido la elaboración de políticas de enfoque neoliberal que acceden al Estado ejercer el poder en contra de unos sectores identificados como peligrosos, en riesgo, marginados, de la sociedad. Como resultado, profesionales en el campo del Trabajo Social, han sido contratados por el Estado desde la génesis de la profesión misma (Esquivel, 2003), hemos estado convocados a hacernos participes de estas nuevas formas de gobemabilidad como porteros entre la ciudadanía y el Estado, e incluso el sector privado. Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre algunos postulados teóricos que enmarcan las concepciones de Michel Foucault sobre el ejercicio del poder en los sujetos y las discusiones sobre gerencia social y trabajo social expuestas en los trabajos de Freddy Esquivel. Algunas interrogantes giran en tomo a la justicia de las políticas sociales hacia sectores marginados; las funciones de profesionales de Trabajo Social dentro de las nuevas formas de gobemabilidad plasmadas en las políticas sociales; y la práctica de nuestra profesión como promotores de la justicia social y a la misma vez administradores de servicios sociales.

Las políticas neoliberales que fundamentan la retractación del Estado como garantizador de derechos ciudadanos universales y del ofrecimiento de servicios de bienestar a la ciudadanía, ha sido un detonante en la aparición y fortalecimiento de las organizaciones del Tercer Sector tanto en Puerto Rico, como internacionalmente. En este trabajo reviso el Tercer Sector como concepto, como universo asociativo y en cuanto a su presencia en el contexto puertorriqueño. Planteo la importancia de desarrollar políticas públicas para este sector en nuestro país. Además, analizo las aportaciones de la Comisión Especial Sobre el Tercer Sector de la Legislatura de Puerto Rico 2000-2004, desde algunas dimensiones del concepto de estructura de oportunidades políticas y de la participación de las organizaciones en los procesos de desarrollar políticas públicas para el Tercer Sector.

Authors: Cabrera Cirilo Jesús M.
Published: December 2021

El Trabajo Social en Puerto Rico, tiene el desafío de fortalecer el debate sobre sus fundamentos filosóficos, teóricos e históricos. Se puede reconocer que el debate contemporáneo en Trabajo Social viene manteniendo una constante discusión académico-profesional sobre los fundamentos que componen la práctica y la investigación. Siendo así, en este espacio, haremos un vistazo por algunos de los trabajos finales de graduación que representan un valioso caudal de hallazgos del recorrido histórico de nuestro quehacer. Para este análisis utilizaremos la perspectiva crítica, que de acuerdo a Marx no significa rechazo al conocimiento anterior, sino la superación de este por medio del análisis a un nivel más profundo.

La familia como una entidad socio-histórica: Implicaciones para la práctica de trabajo social
Authors: Albite Vélez Lillian
Published: December 2021

Análisis de la familia como una entidad socio-histórico desde la una perspectiva teórica crítica. Aborda el carácter construido, dinámico y multiforme de la familia y argumenta cómo su configuración se da apartir de la racionalidad de la contingencia social que le toca vivir. Por lo tanto, la estructura social es el tejido del que está hecha la familia y las condiciones existenciales que enfrentan las familias producen modulaciones en los vínculos familiares, estructuras, prácticas y discursos. En este sentido se rechaza la idea de la familia como la entidad responsable de lo bueno o malo (problemas sociales) que se dan en la sociedad, sino más bien que la familia constituye otra dimensión donde semanifiestan los problemas sociales. La familia y su contingencia forman la unidad indesgarrable de análisis. Se plantean implicaciones teóricas metodológicas que tiene este análisis para una práctica profesional emancipadora. Esto incluye: el rechazo a modelos estáticos de familia, la necesidad de redefinir la familia de forma tal que recoja la diversidad de estructuras familiares que cambian a lo largo de sus vidas, una acercamiento ético-político de la familia de desde los derechos humanos y la revisión crítica de los modelos de intervención.
Trabajo Social escolar, ciudadanía y educación: Una reflexión pertinente
Authors: Pizarro Claudio Doris S.
Published: December 2021

El trabajo social escolar enfrenta el dilema de evaluar los paradigmas de la intervención social a raíz del deterioro de la educación pública. En la Carta Circular de Trabajo Social 16-2004-2005 del Departamento de Educación, predomina un discurso ambiguo y superficial, basado en enfoques positivistas de intervención, los cuales limitan la aportación que esta disciplina puede hacer al proceso educativo. En su praxis se privilegia la atención a casos en su modalidad individual o grupal, con poca atención al método comunitario. La atención del trabajo social a procesos de construcción de ciudadanía educativa, a la formación de liderazgo participativo de estudiantes, a familias y comunidad son estrategias lejanas en la mayoría de las escuelas. Los desaciertos en la descentralización y la invisibilidad de la autonomía educativa, constituyen barreras para la construcción de una nueva gramática en el trabajo social escolar. Sugiero reenfocar la intervención social desde una nueva relación con los demás componentes de la comunidad escolar y con su contexto macroestructural. Esta debe estar basada en la construcción de una ciudadanía educativa y en la revisión de las ideas sobre quiénes son los sujetos educativos.
Cinematerapia: Modalidad terapéutica alterna para la intervención profesional con adolescentes que presentan comportamiento suicida
Authors: Soto Román Jelitza , Santiago Arroyo Linette , Vientós Pérez Héctor
Published: December 2021

En la sociedad puertorriqueña existen una serie de problemáticas que afectan a todos los individuos, grupos, familias y comunidades. Una de estas es el suicidio, la cual afecta una cantidad significativa de adolescentes en Puerto Rico. A pesar de que esto último es poco mencionado, la realidad es que el comportamiento suicida entre adolescentes impacta considerablemente esta población en nuestro país. Como consecuencia, resulta necesario que como profesionales de la conducta humana identifiquemos modelos y estrategias que nos permitan intervenir con este tipo de problemática. Un modelo de intervención innovador que podría considerarse como una manera alterna de abordar el comportamiento suicida en adolescentes es la Cinematerapia. Esta modalidad terapéutica consiste en la asignación de películas a participantes adolescentes en las que personajes presentan problemas o situaciones similares a sus experiencias; teniendo así como meta el que éstos y éstas puedan ver sus situaciones o problemas desde unas perspectivas novedosas (Hesley, 1998). Siendo el cine parte integral e importante de la cultura popular entre adolescentes, se presenta la cinematerapia como una alternativa ideal para trabajar con esta población.
Programa de tratamiento agonista opiáceos en una prisión en Puerto Rico y necesidades de las familias de los confinados
Authors: Negrón Velázquez Gisela , Figueroa Amarilis , González Carrasquillo Ángel A.
Published: December 2021

Este artículo presenta y discute el desarrollo y la pertinencia social de un Programa de Tratamiento de Agonista Opiáceos (PTAO) del Departamento de Corrección y Rehabilitación en Puerto Rico. Analiza críticamente el contexto en el cual el mismo se está creando y expone cuáles son las expectativas de organizaciones profesionales y agencias acreditadotas respecto a la integración de la familia del confinado en su proceso de recuperación de trastornos adictivos con opióides. Se plantean también, las diversas necesidades de familiares de confinados, según reportadas en la literatura, y expone la urgencia de examinar las necesidades de aquellos familiares de confinados que participan y participarán en programas de tratamiento para el abuso y dependencia de opiáceos en instituciones penales en la Isla. Para la profesión de trabajo social que responde a valores y principios éticos claros, se justifica su involucramiento en los procesos de decriminalización de las adicciones, y sea a través de programas como el PTAO para confinados y familiares, o en otros escenarios y niveles de intervención.

A Study on Field Level Variability and Diversity of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thonn. in Kerala State of India
Authors: Farhad V. , Radhakrishnan V. , Mohanan K.
Published: December 2021

Variability and diversity of Phyllanthus amarus Schum. & Thonn., an important medicinal plant species, in its natural habitats in Kerala State of India was analyzed based on the observations on eleven salient morphological characters recorded from thirty populations of the species distributed across Palakkad, Malappuram and Kozhikode districts. Among the eleven characters studied, seven characters such as plant height, number of brachyblasts, number of leaves per brachyblast, leaf breadth, length between adjacent brachyblasts, number of flowers per brachyblast and fresh weight of plants showed statistically significant difference between the populations. The interrelationship between the characters and their association was also studied. Fresh plant weight showed significant positive correlation with five characters. Number of brachyblasts and number of leaves per brachyblast showed significant positive correlation with four characters each. Number of branches and number of flowers per brachyblast showed significant positive correlation with three characters each. Plant height, leaf length and leaf area showed significant positive correlation with one character each and length of branches, leaf breadth and length between adjacent brachyblasts showed no significant correlation with anyone of the characters studied. By factor analysis four factors could be extracted and number of branches, fresh plant weight, length of branches and leaf breath were found to be the lead characters. Highly significant variability with regard to most of the morphological characters indicates that Phyllanthus amarus populations in the study area are presently stable and diverse. But care should be taken to protect its gene pool from damages due to natural as well as man made interferences.
Rapid in vitro Propagation of Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae) Through Axillary Bud Multiplication and Indirect Organogenesis
Authors: Benniamin A. , Jothi G. , Sundari M.
Published: December 2021

Protocols of axillary bud multiplication were established for Dodonaea viscosa (Sapindaceae). Murashig & Skoog’s medium with 0.2 mg/l BAP with 0.01 Naphthalene acetic acid induced high rate of shoot induction and an average of five shoots per node. Subsequent culture enhanced the number of shoots. Callus initiated from the basal cut end explants differentiated in to more than 10 shoots on MS Medium with 0.4mg/l Benzylaminopurine and 0.02mg/l Indole Butric Acid. Eighty per cent of the rooted shoots survived when transferred to greenhouse and subsequently to the field.
