At the current stage of soil microbiology development the study of the entire complex of microorganisms inhabiting the soil became possible, which helps finding the optimal combination of factors resulting in the formation of soil fertility as well as the development of stable and stress resistant phytocenosis. Soil metagenome is the largest genetic depository for all purposes, from the soil formation processes - transformation of barren rock into a substrate for plant growth and development, to the temporary adaptations in the short-term interests of the plant. The investigation of genetic potential of soil metagenome and its mobilization are the main goals of this project. Such studies should be comprehensive and solve actual issues: 1) the study of the mechanisms of soil-forming processes and the analysis of the evolution of metagenomes due to the special features of pedogenesis; 2) investigation of microbiome participation in organic residues decomposition and efficient transformation of soil organic matter; 3) screening of the associative plant-protective and growth promoting microorganisms. The object for the analysis of microbiome evolutionary potential in the process of soil formation may be the technogenic dumps resulting from mining operations, which are chronosequences of soils of different ages. Samples of paleosols are also of particular interest in the evolutionary aspect of the analysis of the soil metagenome. The project is expected to reveal a group of soil microorganisms, which take the most active part in the formation of soil fertility and effectively implement growth-stimulating and protective functions for the plant. The data may be of value for both fundamental science and serve as a base for the design of environmentally friendly high-productive phytocenoses based on the use of the adaptive potential of soil microbiota.
The Biogeochemistry of Lantanides in Soils
Authors: Vodyanitskii Yu. N. , Rogova O. B.
Published: April 2019

The lithogenous minerals containing lantanides (Ln) are unsustainable within the zone of hypergenesis. Their dilution impoverish soils in terms of lantanides content, especially in humid regions. In conditions of neutral environmental pH in dry steppe zone, the lantanides loose their mobility, and, hence, become unavailable for plants. The lantanides are characterized by the high biochemical and biological activity. The physiologic impact of lantanides on plants is set. The separate parts of vascular plants accumulate lantanides in different degree. The difference may reach 100-fold level. For many plants the accumulation of lantanides occurs at the reverse order: roots > leaves > stalks > grain/fruits. Lantanides accumulators (such as brackens), promote their accumulation within the humus layer of soils. Fertilizers with lantanides are widely implemented in China. They powder seeds and implement top dressing in soils with lantanides deficit, i.e., with low bulk content and/or with low availability for plants. Although at moderate increasing of Ln concentration in solution, there is often observed the increasing of the crop yield in laboratory conditions. However, the implementation of lantanides in the soil does not always give the positive effect. The main share of Ln in the soils with high sorption capacity is sorbed, and the increasing of doses leads to the decrease of the yield. The light lantanides are characterized by physical and chemical properties equal to Cа2+. And the mass replacement of Cа2+ by lantanides harms the development of plants. The high doses of lantanides have a negative impact on the biochemical processes in plants. The competition with iron and phosphorus is stipulated by the close solubility of iron and lanthanum phosphates: the accumulation of La in plants tissues affects the content of P and Fe within them.

Published: April 2019

The position of palevye soils with differentiated profiles and with podzolized horizons developing from carbonate-free rocks under conditions of the cold extremely continental semihumid climate in the permafrost zone of Central Siberia in the New Russian Classification system is analyzed. The profile of these soils consists of the raw-humus horizon, bleached podzolic or eluvial horizon, and iron-illuvial or clay-illuvial horizon with some features typical of the metamorphic pale soils. According to the character of their middle-profile horizons, they can be attributed to the orders of Al-Fe-humus soils (sandy and loamy sandy varieties) and texture-differentiated soils (loamy sandy and clay loamy varieties). According to the character of their organic profiles, they can be separated as raw-humus subtypes among podzols and podzolic soils, respectively. Their specific regional characteristics - a tendency for the formation of a cryohumus horizon, clay illuviation, iron illuviation, and specific pale metamorphism of the mineral mass (pale metamorphized) (clay-illuvial subtype) - are also reflected at the subtype level. These characteristics can be present in different combinations reflected in the corresponding names of complex subtypes. In the geographical space, these soils form a transition from typical pale soils of the cold ultracontinental semiarid climate to the soils of cold moderately continental humid climate.

The temporal dynamics (1980-1989-1997-2002-2007-2012-2015) of the physical and chemical properties of the mountain chernozems, the most widely spread soils of the northern slope of Djinal ridge, were studied. The investigations were conducted on the lands of “Kabardino-Balkaria Research Institute of Agriculture”. We revealed that according to the state of these soils in a year 2015 the soils were affected by two types of degradation processes, which differ according to the development degree and the spatial cover of the territory. The whole territory is characterized by the processes of the strong dehumification, and the processes of medium degree of dehumification are manifested only within local areas. The consequences of the strong dehumification of the investigated soils are manifested in the significant (the coefficient is 0.70) decrease of their fertility level. The damage for the soils affected by the strong dehumification reaches 18% according to the assessment of the lands value. The most of the studied soils were also affected by the agro-exhausting in a weak or medium degree. The fertility level index for weakly diluted soils of the agricultural areas is considered to be equal to 0.90. The damage for the assessment of the land area for these soils contain 5%. The decrease of the fertility for weakly diluted soils is insignificant (the coefficient of the fertility level is 0.95), and the damage for the purposes of the land area assessment may be neglected. We calculated the total damage (30009 rubles per ha) due to the degradation processes which affected the value of the land area. We also calculated the cost of rehabilitation of these soils and their recovery to the level of the initial state.

Published: April 2019

The strong presence of Binge Drinking (BD) amongst university students, as well as the consequences associated with the same and the changes taking place over recent years regarding its conceptualization make it necessary to examine the usefulness of screening instruments used to detect this drinking pattern. This study examines the usefulness of a briefer adaptation of the AUDIT proposed by Cortés, Giménez, Motos, and Sancerni (2017a).College students self-administered the AUDIT, the revised items 2 and 3 (A2r and A3r), and completed a weekly self-report of their alcohol intake. BD was classified according to the amount consumed and the frequency of that consumption over the past six months. The AUDIT, AUDIT-C and items A2r+A3r (AR2I) were examined. The results obtained from a sample of 605 college students (18–21 years old/55.2% female) indicate that 449 meet the BD criteria. Items A2r and A3r, adapted to the most consensual definition of BD, were found to identify 98% of BD college students when using a cut-off point of ≥ 3 in females and ≥ 4 in males with optimum levels of sensitivity and specificity. The new adaptation, which includes fewer items, identifies BD college students more accurately. This confirms the need to adjust both consumption items from the model according to the pattern of consumption in college students to detect BD more precisely and as soon as possible.

Tabaquismo y depresión se relacionan de forma bidireccional: el tabaquismo es la primera causa evitable de enfermedad y muerte en pacientes con depresión, y la depresión constituye uno de los factores de riesgo de tabaquismo más consistentes. El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es profundizar en la relación entre tabaquismo y depresión, analizando variables socio-demográficas y clínicas como la gravedad de los síntomas, el subtipo de trastorno afectivo, y su impacto en las conductas suicidas en población clínica.Se estudió una muestra de 201 pacientes, mayores de 18 años [edad media (SD) = 53,76 (10,36) años; mujeres = 132 (65,7%)], con historia de episodio depresivo (unipolar o bipolar) o distimia (criterios CIE 10).La prevalencia de tabaquismo actual fue 43,2% y la prevalencia vida 61,2%, no existiendo diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre hombres y mujeres (X2 = 3,896; p = 0,143). La edad media de inicio fue 17,81 (5,60) años. Se observó tendencia a asociación lineal entre número de cigarrillos/día consumidos y gravedad de la depresión según la Escala de Hamilton para la Depresión (HDRS) en los consumidores actuales de tabaco (R de Pearson = 0,298; p = 0,050). El análisis de regresión logística multinomial puso de manifiesto que el consumo actual de tabaco se asocia con puntuaciones más elevadas en la HDRS, de modo que cada incremento de un punto en dicha escala, la posibilidad de fumar aumenta en 0,062 [p = 0,032; OR (95% CI) = 1,064 (1,005-1,125)].Nuestros resultados muestran que los pacientes deprimidos presentan mayor prevalencia de consumo actual de tabaco que la población general, sugiriendo además una relación entre gravedad de consumo y gravedad de los síntomas de depresión.
Circular RNAs and human glioma
Authors: Jinglei Liu , Kun Zhao , Nunu Huang , Nu Zhang
Published: April 2019

As a newly discovered type of RNA, circular RNAs (circRNAs) are widespread throughout the eukaryotic genome. The expression of circRNAs is regulated by both cis-elements and trans-factors, and the expression pattern of circRNAs is cell type- and disease-specific. Similar to other types of non-coding RNAs, functions of circRNAs are also versatile. CircRNAs have been reported previously to function as microRNA (miRNA) sponges, protein sponges, coding RNAs or scaffolds for protein complexes. Recently, several circRNAs have been reported to play important roles in human malignancies, including glioma. Here, we reviewed several reports related to circRNAs and glioma, as well as the potential diagnostic and therapeutic applications of circRNAs in brain cancer. In general, some circRNAs, such as circSMARCA5 and circCFH, are found to be expressed in a glioma-specific pattern, these circRNAs may be used as tumor biomarkers. In addition, some circRNAs have been found to play oncogenic roles in glioma (e.g., circNFIX and circNT5E), whereas others have been reported to function as tumor suppressors (e.g., circFBXW7 and circSHPRH). Furthermore, circRNA is a good tool for protein expression because of its higher stability compared to linear RNAs. Thus, circRNAs may also be an ideal choice for gene/protein delivery in future brain cancer therapies. There are some challenges in circRNA research in glioma and other diseases. Research related to circRNAs in glioma is comparatively new and many mysteries remain to be solved.
A Data-Driven Approach to Classifying Wave Breaking in Infrared Imagery
Authors: Buscombe Daniel , Carini Roxanne
Published: April 2019

We apply deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to estimate wave breaking type from close-range monochrome infrared imagery of the surf zone. Image features are extracted using six popular CNN architectures developed for generic image feature extraction. Logistic regression on these features is then used to classify breaker type. The six CNN-based models are compared without and with augmentation, a process that creates larger training datasets using random image transformations. The simplest model performs optimally, achieving average classification accuracies of 89% and 93%, without and with image augmentation respectively. Without augmentation, average classification accuracies vary substantially with CNN model. With augmentation, sensitivity to model choice is minimized. A class activation analysis reveals the relative importance of image features to a given classification. During its passage, the front face and crest of a spilling breaker are more important than the back face. Whereas for a plunging breaker, the crest and back face of the wave are most important. This suggests that CNN-based models utilize the distinctive `streak' temperature patterns observed on the back face of plunging breakers for classification.

Authors: Abrams Stephen
Published: April 2019

Detecting cracks in teeth is a clinical challenge. Patients may complain of diffuse pain on chewing, no pain on temperature change and pain that occurs episodically. Common diagnostic tools such as radiographs and visual examination may not detect cracks. This case study shows how PTR-LUM in The Canary System can detect cracks in teeth not seen with other devices. In this clinical situation, the crack involved a large part of the mesial and distal surfaces of a mandibular second molar.
Hydrotreating of Jatropha-derived Bio-oil over Mesoporous Sulfide Catalysts to Produce Drop-in Transportation Fuels

Published: April 2019

The bio-oil was largely produced by thermal pyrolysis of Jatropha-derived biomass wastes (denoted as Jatropha bio-oil) using a Pilot Plant with a capacity of 20 kg h-1 at Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research (TISTR), Thailand. Jatropha bio-oil is an unconventional type of bio-oil, which is mostly composed of fatty acids, fatty acid methyl esters, fatty acid amides and derivatives, and consequently it contained large amounts of heteroatoms (oxygen ~ 20 wt.%, nitrogen ~ 5 wt.%, sulfur ~ 1000 ppm.). The heteroatoms, nitrogen especially, are highly poisonous to the metal or sulfide catalysts for upgrading of Jatropha bio-oil. To overcome this technical problem, we reported a stepwise strategy for hydrotreating of 100 wt% Jatropha bio-oil over mesoporous sulfide catalysts of CoMo/γ-Al2O3 and NiMo/γ-Al2O3 to produce drop-in transport fuels, such as gasoline- and diesel-like fuels. This study is very different from our recent work on co-processing of Jatropha bio-oil (ca. 10 wt%) with petroleum distillates to produce a hydrotreated oil as a diesel-like fuel (Chen et al., Catalysts 2018, 8, 59; http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/catal8020059). Jatropha bio-oil was pre-treated through a slurry-type high pressure reactor under severe condition, resulting in a pre-treated Jatropha bio-oil with relatively low amounts of heteroatoms (oxygen < 20 wt.%, nitrogen < 2 wt.%, sulfur < 500 ppm.). The light and middle distillates of pre-hydrotreated Jatropha bio oil was then separated by distillation at temperature below 240 oC, and the temperature of 240-360 oC. Deep hydrotreating of light distillates over sulfide CoMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was performed on a batch-type high pressure reactor at 350 oC and 7 MPa of H2 gas for 5 h. The hydrotreated oil was a gasoline-like fuel, which contained 29.5 vol.% of n-paraffins, 14.4 vol.% of iso-paraffins, 4.5 vol.% of olefins, 21.4 vol. % of naphthene compounds and 29.6 wt.% of aromatic compounds, and little amounts of heteroatoms (nearly no oxygen and sulfur, and less than 50 ppm of nitrogen), corresponding to an octane number of 44, and it would be suitable for blending with petro-gasoline. The hydrotreating of middle distillates over sulfide NiMo/γ-Al2O3 catalyst using the same reaction condition produced a hydrotreating oil with diesel-like composition, low amounts of heteroatoms (no oxygen and less than 50 ppm of sulfur and nitrogen), and a cetane number of 60, which would be suitable for use in drop-in diesel fuel.
Monitoring of Landscape Transformations within Landscape Parks in Poland in the 21st century
Authors: Krajewski Piotr
Published: April 2019

One of the most problematic forms of nature protection in Poland relates to landscape parks. On the one hand, they include the most valuable landscapes; on the other hand, the areas within the landscape park still have economic uses. Therefore, the monitoring of landscape changes within landscape parks is necessary in order to properly manage these forms of protection. The main objective of the study was to monitor the scale and nature of landscape transformations within the boundaries of landscape parks in Poland during the period 2000–2018 and to assess the possibility of using the landscape change index (LCI) to monitor the intensity of landscape transformations within this type of protected area. Filling a gap in the research on landscape changes, I developed and verified the possibility of using LCI for monitoring the intensity of landscape changes using the example of 12 landscape parks in the Lower Silesia region. Preliminary analyses of the transformations within all landscape parks in Poland showed an upward trend, both in terms of the number of types of identified landscape changes as well as their area. In spite of the large diversity and degree of transformation in landscape parks, several dominant processes can be observed. The largest number and area of changes during each of the analyzed periods were found in transformations within forest landscapes (temporary and permanent deforestation and forest maturation), which constitute the dominant type of land cover within most of the landscape parks. In open landscapes, changes mainly relate to afforestation and natural succession in meadows, pastures and arable land, as well as the transformation of arable land into mining areas. Twelve case studies, covering all landscape parks of the Lower Silesia, have shown that the LCI is an excellent tool for monitoring the intensity of landscape changes, but it is dependent on the accuracy of the source data. The analyses confirmed that, during the study periods, the changes in all 12 Lower Silesian landscape parks were at a low level, but their particular intensification took place in the years 2012–2018. The highest LCI was found in the area where a natural disaster had occurred (air tornado), which destroyed huge areas of forest in landscape parks. After changes in the forest landscape, the most frequently identified type of change in 2006–2012 is the transformation of non-forest landscapes into forest landscapes. The main reason for such changes was the expansion of forest into abandoned arable land, meadows and pastures. The use of the Corine Land Cover database to calculate LCI and monitor the intensity of landscape change revealed a low usability of the database for the year 2000 and a high usability for data from 2006–2018.

Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper is to analyze the real impact of ICT skill mismatch on SME’s sustainable competitiveness in presence of minimum wage guaranteed. As part of public policies – the minimum wage need to maintain a balance between increasing employment and not being a burden for the companies, leading them to bankruptcies, especially in times of disruptive change in which economy have to be more resilient.
The rapid progress in information and communication technologies has dramatically redefined the rising unemployment as a result of skills mismatch.
This paper aims to understand, on one side if, there is a match between the supply demand of ICT skills and how increasingly powerful digital technologies affect skills, jobs, and the demand for human labour. On the other, if increasing productivity and a fair minimum wage could be an integrated approach in stimulating SME’s in increasing sustainable competitiveness.

Published: April 2019

An experimental device of the mechanics of tank draining under gravity has been constructed. It mainly consists of a cylindrical tank with a circular orifice at the center bottom of the tank. The inner radius of the tank is 134 mm, while there are seven variations of orifice radius, those are 2.25 mm, 2.50 mm, 3.00 mm, 3.50 mm, 4.00 mm, 5.00 mm, and 6.00 mm. The tank is filled by water which is then allowed to flow out throuh the orifice. This experiment can be used to measure the value of gravitational acceleration () on the experiment location. We call this method as the leak tank method.  The measurement of g is carried out by measuring the total time to drain the tank from 300 mm initial height of water surface inside the tank for various orifice radius. It is found in this experiment that  = (9.89± 0.03) m/s2. This result is good enough because it is almost the same as the conventional standar value of 9.80665 m/s2 with discrepancy of around 0.85%. It indicates that the leak tank method which is described in this paper can be used to estimate the gravitational acceleration value with a good result.

Background

The increasing prevalence of high myopia has already been noted. It is important to know the factors associated with high myopia to prevent complications. In the present study, we investigated the epidemiological characteristics of high myopia and determine its related factors among a Japanese adult population.

Methods

JPHC-NEXT Eye Study was performed in Chikusei-city, located in a rural area in mid-east Japan in 2013-2015. A cross-sectional observational analysis was conducted to investigate prevalence and related factors of high myopia through this study. A total of 6,101 participants aged ≥40 years who have no history of ocular surgeries were included in this study. High myopia was defined as a spherical equivalent refraction of ≤ -6.00 diopters (D) based on the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Potential high myopia-related factors included intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal structure, corneal endothelial cell density, age, height, body mass index, heart rate, blood pressure, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGTP), total cholesterol (T cholesterol), triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL cholesterol), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL cholesterol), blood glucose (glucose), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), creatinine, and current history of systemic and ocular disorders. The odds ratios of high myopia associated with these factors were estimated using the logistic regression models adjusted for the associated factors.

Results

The prevalence of high myopia was 3.8% among the men and 5.9% among the women with a significant difference. Age was inversely associated with high myopia. We also found a positive association between IOP and high myopia. Other factors were not associated with high myopia for either men or women.

Conclusions

In this community-based sample, age was inversely, and IOP was positively associated with high myopia in both the men and the women.

Authors: Lindsey Alex J. , DeFrank Joseph , Cheng Zhiqiang
Published: April 2019

The use of nonpotable water for irrigation on various sport venues has led to an increased use of seashore paspalum (Paspalum vaginatum) turf in Hawaii. An ongoing challenge many seashore paspalum turf managers struggle with is bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) infestations. Herbicide efficacy studies were conducted at the Hoakalei Country Club [‘SeaDwarf’ seashore paspalum (fairway cut)] and the Magoon Research Station [‘SeaStar’ seashore paspalum (grown in container)] on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. Spray applications of the herbicides mesotrione, topramezone, metribuzin, and ethofumesate were evaluated alone and in tank mixtures for bermudagrass suppression and seashore paspalum injury. At the Hoakalei Country Club, maximum bermudagrass injury with minimal seashore paspalum discoloration was obtained with tank mixes of mesotrione (0.06 lb/acre) + metribuzin (0.19 lb/acre) + ethofumesate (1.00 lb/acre) and topramezone (0.02 lb/acre) + metribuzin (0.19 lb/acre) + ethofumesate (1.00 lb/acre). Unacceptable seashore paspalum turf injury was obtained in all treatments that did not include metribuzin. At the Magoon Research Station, maximum selective bermudagrass suppression was achieved with tank mixes of topramezone (0.01 lb/acre) + ethofumesate (1.00 lb/acre) and topramezone (0.01 lb/acre) + metribuzin (0.09 lb/acre) + ethofumesate (1.00 lb/acre). The addition of metribuzin and/or ethofumesate to the tank mix safened (reduced turf discoloration) seashore paspalum to topramezone or mesotrione foliar bleaching. Tank mixes of mesotrione, topramezone, metribuzin, and ethofumesate have the potential for bermudagrass suppression and control of other grassy weeds in seashore paspalum turf.

In Russia, the reform of the labor protection management system suggests implementing a risk-based approach aimed at ensuring occupational safety in order to prevent adverse, lethal, unintentional and accidental effects of working factors. Each organization has to evaluate risks and record them. In July 1, 2019, GOST 12.0.230.4-2018 “Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems. Methods of hazard identification at various stages of work performance "and GOST 12.0.230.5 -2018" System of occupational safety standards. Labor protection management systems. Risk assessment methods for ensuring labor safety” will come into force. The purpose of the work is to compare occupational risks in social institutions of Irkutsk region. The initial data were statistical materials and results of the special assessment of working conditions, materials of the personnel survey. It was established that occupational risks due to physical and chemical factors of the working environment (microclimate parameters, lighting, equipment, air quality, noise level) are low, while psychological risks, especially for medical workers and teachers, are rather high. The occupational risks for other professions were categorized as medium. Psychological risks caused by growing competition increase demands on labor efficiency and working time, contribute to the aggressive working environment.

Considerando que os elevados custos com o tratamento das doenças relacionadas ao excesso de peso e obesidade têm se tornado um grande problema econômico, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os custos envolvidos no processo de cuidado ambulatorial dos pacientes inclusos no programa de obesidade mórbida do ambulatório de endocrinologia de um hospital público. A população do estudo é composta por pacientes inclusos no programa, e que foram acompanhados por 90 dias, sendo entrevistados e analisados seus prontuários e estrutura utilizada para o cuidado desses pacientes. Os custos foram calculados através do custeio baseado em atividades. Observou-se uma frequência maior de hipertensão e diabetes mellitus bem como quantidade de doenças, assim como maior consumo de medicamentos no período pré-operatório em relação ao pós-operatório. O tratamento ambulatorial mensal custou R$ 526,17 por paciente mês e o custo de maior relevância é o relacionado a estrutura, com um gasto mensal médio por paciente de R$346,63 comparado com R$119,26, relacionado a medicamentos e R$60,28, relacionado a exames. Conclui-se que o custo estrutural foi bem superior aos custos com exames e medicamentos e que a atividade de maior custo foi a de realizar serviços de recepção.

Published: April 2019

As demandas judiciais por medicamentos não dispensados pelo Sistema Única de Saúde (SUS) geram consequências orçamentárias preocupantes, pois os recursos são limitados e seu gerenciamento deve ser executado segundo as normas das políticas de saúde. Um dos medicamentos mais solicitados judicialmente para a população infanto-juvenil diagnostica com o Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) é o metilfenidato, princípio ativo da Ritalina e do Concerta. Neste contexto, o objetivo geral do trabalho foi investigar a relação entre diagnóstico, judicialização do TDAH e possível oneração do erário público com a prescrição desse medicamento. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, a pesquisa envolveu investigação quali-quantitativa. Os achados evidenciaram a oneração dos cofres públicos com a judicialização do TDAH e a presença de diagnósticos falso-positivos na amostra.
Representaciones sociales de líderes comunitarios sobre el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en un sector marginal de la comuna 18 de la ciudad de Cali
Authors: Ortegón Machado David Stevens
Published: April 2019

Las representaciones sociales son un tipo de conocimiento de sentido común por medio del cual los individuos y las comunidades convierten una realidad física en construcciones perceptibles de aquello que les rodea, convirtiendo lo extraño en familiar. El objetivo primordial de este estudio fue comprender las representaciones sociales de los líderes de organizaciones de base comunitaria sobre el consumo de sustancias psicoactivas en un sector barrial de la comuna 18 en la ciudad de Cali. Método: Se desarrolló un estudio bajo un enfoque investigativo cualitativo y su diseño se asumió como un estudio de representaciones sociales, el cual se suscribe al paradigma interpretativo-constructivista. Resultados: Los líderes comunitarios definieron el fenómeno de manera bidimensional; por un lado, como un problema de salud, evidenciando una serie de saberes científicos en los participantes que influyen en la constitución de la representación social de consumo de sustancias psicoactivas como una enfermedad, y por otro lado, como un problema social asociado a determinantes sociales y políticas que están fuera del alcance del consumo en tanto fenómeno. Conclusión: Las representaciones sociales que los líderes y organizaciones de base comunitaria le atribuyen al uso de sustancias psicoactivas en el sector de la Comuna 18; están caracterizadas por significados que se tejen entre un saber científico sobre el consumo de sustancias, un discurso institucional y el sistema de valoración moral establecido en el contexto de la comunidad.
