An Overview of the Management and Rehabilitation of Dysphagia
Authors: Mari Nakao-Kato  , Farooq Azam Rathore
Published: July 2023

Dysphagia is a medical condition that makes it difficult for a person to eat or swallow. It is estimated that 590 million people worldwide have dysphagia. The causes are varied and include neurological disorders like stroke and motor neuron disease, head and neck cancer, neuromuscular diseases, inflammatory diseases such as dermatomyositis, dementia, cervical spinal cord injury, and anterior vertebral ossification. The assessment and screening of dysphagia consists of a questionnaire-based interview, mealtime observation, and, if deemed necessary by a screening test or instrumental examination by specialists. Treatment is based on the diagnosis, patients’ cognition and information gathered by screening and clinical evaluation. Patient’s function can be improved only when treatment is comprehensive and includes compensatory feeding using an adjusted swallowing diet, compensatory posture adjustment, and nutritional improvement. We present a brief overview of the assessment and management strategies for dysphagia

The Policies and Drawbacks of the US Meatpacking Industry
Authors: Editor Chief , Gerwe Grace
Published: July 2023

The consumption of meat has been a part of the human diet since about 2.6 million years ago. Having evolved over centuries alongside the human species, it is now deeply tied to various cultures around the world. This includes American culture, as meat is one of the fundamental components of the Standard American Diet, made up of traditionally unhealthy food choices too high in sugars and processed foods. Even amidst the increasing popularity of veganism and a shift towards more plant-based dietary changes, meat consumption has not and will not be completely eliminated in the near future, and can be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle for its multiple health benefits when consumed in moderation. As the largest segment of US agriculture, the meat and poultry industry is a defining part of the American food system. This highlights the importance of understanding the primary laws and regulations governing meatpacking. The need is greater than ever to ensure that these policies are positively impacting the consumer, the environment and the farmers themselves, especially small, independent farmers, which are generally less favored in an oligopolistic economic system. While the regulations in place provide ample structure, detailed guidelines and specific policies for maintaining the necessary health and safety standards involved in meatpacking, their complicated structure imposes regulatory difficulties on independent farmers, limits consumer choice, and chokes small-scale production.
Perspectives for North Macedonia’s EU Integration after the French EU Framework Solution in 2022
Authors: Kaytchev Naoum
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the influence of Bulgarian–North Macedonian bilateral relations on the perspectives of North Macedonia’s EU integration after the adoption of the EU-North Macedonia negotiation framework in July 2022, advanced by the French EU Presidency. The main focus is on two of the most salient and sensitive elements of these relations – the incorporation of the Bulgarian community in North Macedonia’s constitution and the role of the Joint Historical Commission in adjusting and synchronising the historical perspectives of the two societies. Progress in both issues would be extremely beneficial for North Macedonia’s prospects. Any retreat from or erosion of the French EU framework solution would mean a return to the stalled situation before 2022, which would be hardly beneficial either for North Macedonia or for the wider Southeast European region.
The Phasing-in Approach for Accelerated Integration into the European Union, or Encapsulation into the Western Balkans
Authors: Tilev Dragan
Published: July 2023

The war in Ukraine and the vulnerability of the Western Balkans clearly highlight how important it is to complete the unification of the European Union. The EU and the Western Balkans share geopolitical interests, and the accession negotiations should be seen as a new opportunity for accelerated integration, based on conditionalities. A new enlargement methodology as a general political framework has been transposed into the new generation of negotiation frameworks for North Macedonia and Albania. One of the key novelties of the new methodology is the potential for accelerated integration and (gradual) “phasing-in” to individual EU policies, the EU market, and EU programs, coupled with increased funding and investments. The main pillars of the enlargement package are the EU fundamentals. Why not start mirroring those fundamentals in practice, bringing the accession negotiations closer to key areas of mutual interest, such as the European Rule of Law Mechanism, through phasing-in to the European Semester, followed by the European Single Market, supported through the IPA instrument, and consider establishing a Western Balkans Cohesion Fund? These are complex mechanisms and therefore, beginning at an early stage would be highly beneficial for both sides.
European Political Community: A New Strategic Framework on the Horizon?
Authors: Németh Ferenc
Published: July 2023

Although an ambitious initiative, the European Political Community (EPC) has left experts wondering as to what it will entail in practice. Its greatest advantage (and disadvantage) is that it can still become anything countries happen to agree on: an inter-governmental, non- institutionalized platform, where leaders can discuss strategic questions of the continent without visible commitments, written statements, or pressure to deliver results. When it comes to the enlargement of the Western Balkans and the Associated Trio, the EPC is unlikely to speed up the process or deliver tangible steps forward. Its added value for the (potential) candidate countries remains that they are also included in the debates concerning European questions of strategic importance.
Energy Diplomacy in the Western Balkans
Authors: Mitrescu Sergiu
Published: July 2023

The Western Balkans is facing a critical juncture in its energy landscape as it navigates multiple historical developments and geopolitical struggles. The European integration process, which entered a new stage in the aftermath of the war in Ukraine, has put energy at the forefront of the accession process. The push towards renewable energy sources over the past decade has failed to make a significant impact in the Western Balkans, leaving the region with an aging energy infrastructure and in need of an energy revolution. In this context, energy diplomacy is taking centre stage, rubbing against long-established structural and geopolitical path dependencies. The newly found integration impetus, corroborated with the newly embedded energy conditionality in the European Union acquis, has the potential to mobilize the necessary material and immaterial resources for the region to successfully manage transition towards a sustainable energy mix while moving away from its dependency on Russian energy. This paper explores the three-pronged process driven by geopolitical, diplomatic, and material factors that is reshaping the energy landscape of the region.
European Integration and the Western Balkans – What Now?
Authors: Bocevski Ivca
Published: July 2023

Is there a real perspective for the full integration of the Western Balkans Six in the European Union, or is the accession process already dead? “Something is rotten in the state of the European integration of the Western Balkans” is not just a poetic way to describe the state of affairs regarding full accession, but a reality. The European Union, and previously the European Economic Community, was quite efficient in previous cycles of European enlargement. Virtually all the accession processes were completed within the mandate of a single European Commission once the negotiation processes had been started with the respective countries. Furthermore, in the pre-accession period the European Union invested heavily in the removal of the “non-acquis political criteria,” which were usually linked to the democratic insufficiencies of the candidate countries. The only notable exceptions to the ‘rule of a single European Commission’ are the Turkish enlargement and the Western Balkans Six (WB6) accession process. Given the fact that most of the WB6 countries already have the necessary legal framework in place for cooperation with the EU and that the single market is by far the largest trading partner of the region, the only logical conclusion is that there is no political will for further enlargement of the European Union, and so the accession process has ground to a halt.
Active Ageing and Wellness among the Elderly in Panabo City
Authors: Lorejo Rowena S.
Published: July 2023

This study assessed the active ageing status and wellness level of the elderly in Panabo City, focusing on personal, physical, social, and economic factors. A snowball technique identified 86 officers from the Senior Citizen Affairs office in each barangay as respondents. Data were collected using a survey questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis. The results revealed that senior citizens in Panabo City reported very high levels of active ageing and wellness, indicating effective services provided by the Office of the Senior Citizen Affairs in line with Republic Act No. 9257. No significant differences were found in active ageing and wellness based on culture, gender, behavioral and personal factors, physical environment, and economic factors. However, significant differences were observed for physical health and social services systems, as well as the social environment. The study revealed a strong positive correlation between active ageing and wellness among the elderly. Wellness dimensions, such as emotional, environmental, intellectual/cognitive, physical, professional/vocational, social, and spiritual aspects, were dependent on active ageing status. Moreover, Regression analysis showed that behavioral factors, personal factors, physical environment, social environment, and economics significantly predicted wellness, while culture, gender, and physical health did not. The overall findings highlight the influence of active ageing indicators, including behavioral factors, physical environment, social environment, and economics, on the wellness of the elderly in Panabo City. These results provide valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners in developing strategies and programs to promote active ageing and enhance the overall well-being of the elderly population.

Published: July 2023

A abordagem reflexiva pretendida neste estudo caminha em torno dos conceitos apresentados por Michael Foucault, tencionando adquirir maiores conhecimentos a respeito de sua maneira de desenvolver a sua proposta de trabalho, no que tange à Educação, tendo em vista os aspectos sociais e econômicos estabelecidos por Adam Smith, os quais ele tinha como elementos que abarcam domínio, além de ser entendido também como um produto amplamente intrínseco, a julgar pela segmentação de metodologias ocasionadas durante a Revolução Industrial e o processo de Globalização. Assim, para debater tal assunto, realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter teórico-bibliográfico a partir das obras de autores renomados na literatura em questão, com o intuito de refletir acerca do processo de formação docente e o reconhecimento de sua prática pedagógica em conformidade com a sua importância para o fortalecimento do mercado de trabalho, uma vez que tais profissionais atuam com a racionalidade. Em contrapartida, pretende-se neste estudo evidenciar alguns aspectos relevantes para a formação docente, de modo que não se limite apenas e tão somente ao gerenciamento do trabalho e de um olhar mais voltado para o utilitarismo, mas sim atingir o progresso da prática educativa e as ferramentas que produzem amplitude em relação a ela.

POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS E OS DIREITOS DOS ESTUDANTES COM DEFICIÊNCIA
Authors: Alves Guimarães Ueudison , Accadrolli Gobatto Andresa , Betânia de Oliveira Marques Maria , Regina Barbosa Gomes Patrícia , Batista Teixeira Sirlene
Published: July 2023

A subjetividade da pessoa com deficiência é construída a partir de diferenças simbólicas ou exclusões diversas. A sua aparência, a sua relação com a sociedade caracteriza-se por práticas quase sempre prejudiciais e estigmatizantes e que atentam contra os direitos dos outros. A ânsia do governo por formas diferentes de agir, ser e pensar se manifesta quando as normas são rigidamente definidas, eliminando tais diferenças. Em 2008 o Brasil internalizou a Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência, de acordo com o tratado, o país teria que produzir políticas de inclusão e outros meios de proteger os Direitos Humanos dos deficientes e, ainda esses indivíduos passariam a ser visto como sujeitos de direitos, de modo que eliminaria barreiras sociais, funcionais e informativas. Desse modo, trouxe uma conquista de igualdade social e direitos conquistados para gerar a igualdade entre os deficientes e o restante da população. Diante do exposto, esta pesquisa visa apresentar os direitos dos estudantes com deficiência.

Navigating Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Digital Era: How Smart Buildings and Smart Cities Become the Key to Sustainability
Authors: Weber-Lewerenz Bianca Christina , Traverso Marzia
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to understand the critical path of digital transformation in construction by investigating major drivers for technical innovation, e.g., in smart cities. Despite available new technologies, increasing societal, environmental pressure, and data complexity, the branch lacks a will to innovate and qualified personnel. The study identifies the potential of innovation and the pillars of sustainability to define ways to responsibly use data-driven, smart technologies in smart cities throughout their holistic life cycles. The mix of expert interview surveys and structured literature analysis is the basis to examine the status quo and innovative approaches. It enables to critically investigate limitations and human, societal and environmental impacts. This study’s findings offer orientation in navigating innovation for resilient, agile ecosystems with the dynamic ability to adapt to changing environment and to grow with the change and achieving the sustainable development goals toward preservation and upgrade of buildings instead of new construction. The key challenge for sustainable technical innovation is to exploit human and societal potential. The study allocates the lack of research in this field and inadequate education as most significant limitations and critically evaluates that a disruptive culture of thinking may enable the sustainable design of smart cities. This study is unique as it develops a comprehensive, transparent Corporate Digital Responsibility Policy Framework and provides orientation to assume ethical, societal, environmental responsibility as part of creating resilient, agile environments.

When the Mystics Embrace Love: Comparing the Insights of Yunus Emre and Jacopone da Todi
Authors: Chandra Robby Igusti
Published: July 2023

Many studies on Yunus Emre, a Turkish Sufi and Jacopone da Todi, an Italian Franciscan, focus on their views of mystical love, especially concerning mystical union, however, the term ”love” that both use needs more exploration This study explores the question of whether their views of love have more similarities or differences by comparing the aspects of love, the center of love and its origin, and the end of the journey in love. Through thematic analysis, the results show that both conveyed a similar view about love, its origin, and the union with God as the destination of love. However, although they similarly view love as centered on God, their views of God show differences. Jacopone focuses on Christ as God who embraces pain and suffering, while Yunus is more apophatic in his insight into God. The finding might help the readers to appreciate various spiritual expressions in modern societies and to delve deeper into each of their core faith.
Extensive dual tree complex wavelet transform-based image steganography using SVD and CNN subspace
Authors: Khandelwal Jyoti , Sharma Vijay Kumar
Published: July 2023

The secret data is hidden behind a cover image using digital image steganography technology that prevents the human visual system (HVS) from identifying it. The proposed image steganography method involves scrambling the secret image and then embedding it within the cover image using the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) technique. The stego image is generated by applying the inverse of DTCWT on the processed embedded image. The PSNR values for the stego and extracted secret images are 45.51 to 30.08 dB and 45.93 dB, respectively, with an SSIM greater than 0.99 in all cases. In the final step of the proposed method, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilized to enhance the quality of the extracted secret image. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by the comparative results.
A study about the universals in Ideas I
Authors: Barbosa de La Cadena Nathalie
Published: July 2023

The problem of universals remains a philosophical theme not only in ontology but also in epistemology. In Husserl, there are particular universals, the noematic ‘X’, the identical, and universals stricto sensu, atemporal universal names. In this paper, I present the theme as it is analyzed by Husserl in Ideas I. In the first section, I describe the trajectory to the universals highlighting the parallelism between noese and noema. In the second section, I draw the reflection of this problem on the philosophy of language which is also affected by the noeticnoematic correspondence. In the third and last section, I show how the investigation about the universals moves in the noematic sphere, and conclude defending the possibility of reaching the universal strict sense departing from the noematic ‘X’.
Economic goods or solidarity? Two different approaches to liberality
Authors: Giammusso Salvatore
Published: July 2023

In this paper, I will compare the Aristotelian and the Middle-Stoic concepts of liberality as stated by Cicero in the De Officiis, which refers to Panaetius. For both concepts, liberality is a principal virtue of socio-political life, but they start from different premises: the individual life in case of Aristotle, and social bonds in the case of Middle-Stoicism. I will try to point out that Aristotle, led by the dualism of reason and passions, is bound to think of liberality as an individual character virtue that prevails over the natural attachment to wealth and assets. Because of his dualism, Aristotle must exclude non-economic beneficence from the domain of liberality. In comparison, the Middle-Stoic approach is mainly based on the idea of sociability. This model does not undervalue goods, but it states that virtues mature from the balanced development of natural impulses, based on the combination of sociability and self-preservation, rather than from an ascetic effort. More particularly, the virtue of liberality originates from the social dimension of moral good. The liberal citizen can make virtuous use of money in certain cases, but he does not necessarily need it. The social sense is crucial, and it leads to the personal support of others, thereby creating and strengthening social bonds.
Perdas e danos da infosfera
Authors: Damasceno Bianca dos Santos
Published: July 2023

Com base na visão crítica do filósofo sul-coreano, Byung-Chul Han, de que a ordem digital está descoisificando o mundo ao informatizá-lo, o artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre os riscos da migração humana para a infosfera ou para o mundo-das-não-coisas. Em tal universo, somente as informações digitais prevalecem, circulando ininterruptamente, surpreendendo, excitando, e, com isso, inaugurando uma nova forma de controle social. Pelas vias desse tipo de comunicação de massa, o virtual se impõe aos fatos, relativizando a relação com verdade e verificação e, consequentemente, com democracia, memória e história. A psicopolítica, sistema de poder hegemônico atual, é a quem interessa essa manobra do psiquismo humano pela contínua positividade estimuladora, que visa transformar cidadãos em meros phono sapiens jogadores de uma ‘realidade’ gamificada. Por isso, o momento exige debate a respeito dos limites permitidos às tecnologias e à inteligência artificial, pois se passam a servir de sinônimo à anulação do mundo-das-coisas é porque nos ameaçam com a perda do mundo como tal.
‘Todos mentem’
Authors: Amorim Wellington Lima
Published: July 2023

A intenção deste ensaio é promover uma reflexão, sob o olhar das principais contribuições de ByungChul Han no empreendimento dialógico da Filosofia com o método desenvolvido pelos filósofos na modernidade, denominado de pornográfico. Para efetivarmos este objetivo o texto reflete sobre a liberdade de escolha e o processo de desenvolvimento na modernidade, buscando responder as seguintes indagações: Ao entregar aos indivíduos a responsabilidade por suas escolhas, seja ela racional ou social, não estaríamos produzindo uma nova forma de coerção, mas eficiente e duradoura, uma estratégia psicopolítica do liberalismo contemporâneo? Não estaríamos sendo introduzidos em uma servidão absoluta e voluntária? Se na dialética do senhor e do escravo, ser senhor significava apenas gozar e nunca desempenhar, agora surge uma nova era, onde o gozo somente é possível no ato de exercício deste desempenho e para isto precisamos estar sempre capacitados, incluído. Afinal, explorar o outro sem sua própria vontade não é tão eficiente quanto explorá-lo por sua própria escolha. A liberdade de escolha não seria uma astúcia da razão liberal?
Interior e exterior
Authors: Heleno José Manuel
Published: July 2023

A distinção entre interior e exterior é um tema recorrente na história da filosofia. Embora a maioria das vezes seja assumido de forma implícita nas reflexões filosóficas, é fundamental procurar esclarecê-lo. Desde a noção socrática de interior como aquilo que importa realmente conhecer, passando pela conceção agostiniana de marca da transcendência até às perspetivas de Fernando Pessoa e Wittgenstein, percorre-se um caminho merecedor da nossa atenção.

Published: July 2023

O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar o impacto da imersão em três diferentes concentrações de ácido cítrico sobre a manutenção da qualidade do mamão formosa. Os mamões do cultivar Formosa, em diferentes estágios de maturação, variando entre estágio 2 e 4, já higienizados e cortados foram divididos em quatro grupos, os quais foram submetidos à quatro diferentes concentrações (água destilada; solução de ácido cítrico à 0,025%; solução de ácido cítrico à 0,050% e solução de ácido cítrico à 0,075%) e à cinco períodos de armazenamento (dias 1, 3, 5, 7 e 9). Em cada um dos períodos de armazenamento, procedeu-se a realização de análise microbiológica (deterioração microbiana macroscópica) e físico-química (pH, acidez titulável, sólidos solúveis, ratio, atividade de água, resistência à penetração da polpa, perda de massa e coloração). Constatou-se que à solução de ácido cítrico à 0,075% garantiu comparativamente maior manutenção da qualidade das frutas e vida útil de sete dias, viabilidade mais longa obtida no estudo.
Prevalência de escore de risco para hipotireoidismo clássico em acadêmicos da Universidade da Terceira Idade
Authors: Vicentini Geraldo Emílio , Henriques Campos Aline Graciele , Tonetti Leticia Cristine , Calixto Maria Rachel Pedrazzoli
Published: July 2023

O envelhecimento é uma etapa natural do desenvolvimento humano, e compreende um processo fisiológico de degenerescência biológica e funcional. O hipotireoidismo tem manifestação mais sutil no idoso e é frequentemente subdiagnosticado nesta faixa etária, podendo ser diagnosticado na forma clássica ou subclínica e afetando a qualidade de vida. Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar o escore de prevalência de risco para hipotireoidismo clássico em estudantes idosos que participam da Universidade da Terceira Idade (UNATI). Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa, transversal, descritiva e exploratória, com amostra de quarenta indivíduos homens e mulheres com idade acima de 50 anos. Como instrumento, foram utilizados um escore de somatória com onze sinais e sintomas para diagnóstico de hipotireoidismo (Zulewski) utilizando um questionário adaptado. A amostra foi separada em dois grupos: grupo com hipotireoidismo diagnosticado (GD) e grupo não diagnosticado (GND), e os sintomas mais relatados foram o ganho ponderal de gordura e lentidão. Concluiu-se que a prevalência de alto risco para hipotireoidismo foi de 2,5%; de risco intermediário 77,5%; e de baixo risco 20,0%. Diante disso, essa forma de triagem de baixo custo possibilitou identificar os pacientes com predisposição para o desenvolvimento do hipotireoidismo clássico.
Bases teóricas para compreensão da atuação dos atores, redes, discursos e traduções: foco sobre projetos de desenvolvimento rural
Authors: Alves Adilson Francelino
Published: July 2023

O artigo apresenta as teorias que utilizamos no Grupo de Estudos Territoriais (GETERR) para compreender aspectos sociais do Sudoeste do Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Quando o grupo foi criado em 2002, havia um grande potencial de pesquisas, especialmente no contexto dos movimentos sociais e organizações de agricultores que atuavam no território. No entanto, apesar da importância desses movimentos, a região era pouco estudada, tornando-se um objeto de estudo necessário para compreender as dinâmicas sociais, as lutas em defesa de direitos e interesses coletivos que se desenvolviam no território. Para contribuir com essa análise, optamos por utilizar a teoria social contemporânea e construir um caminho epistemológico que partisse do particular para o universal. Isso implicou, por um lado, problematizar os limites das análises clássicas e, por outro, prospectar novas abordagens.  Nesse processo testamos diferentes métodos de pesquisa para, na nossa visão, alcançar um conjunto de teorias aptas a coletar, analisar e interpretar as especificidades territoriais, a saber: a Teoria Ator-Orientado de Normam Long, O método documentário de Karl Mannheim e a Teoria Ator-rede de Bruno Latour. Após 20 anos utilizando e validando o método, acredita-se que essas teorias são aptas a contribuir para a compreensão das dinâmicas sociais em diferentes territórios e contextos.
Partidos políticos y respuesta a la pandemia COVID-19
Authors: Dragún Nahuel , Foresti Joaquín
Published: July 2023

Luego de la firma del decreto que estableció el Aislamiento Social Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO) en todo el país, los gobiernos subnacionales ejecutaron políticas complementarias con el fin de contener el avance de casos de COVID-19 y morigerar los impactos socioeconómicos regresivos de la pandemia. En este plano de análisis, el trabajo indaga medidas implementadas por los gobiernos municipales de San Miguel y Malvinas Argentinas (Provincia de Buenos Aires) durante el año 2020, examinando sus principales características y las maneras en que fueron comunicadas oficialmente. Se señalan algunas similitudes entre las políticas impulsadas por ambos municipios, aunque también pueden advertirse diferencias importantes en las estrategias comunicacionales de cada gobierno local. El artículo sugiere que tales diferencias responden mayormente a la pertenencia partidaria de los intendentes y las bases de sustentación social de cada oficialismo local, antes que a las realidades sociales y productivas de los distritos.

Procesos de patrimonialización y creación de la identidad nacional
Authors: Garofalo Giovanni
Published: July 2023

El presente estudio analiza el proceso de patrimonialización del antiguo mercado de abastos del Born, ubicado en una de las zonas más antiguas de Barcelona, en el distrito de la Ciutat Vella. Compaginando las metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas del análisis del discurso mediado y de los estudios del discurso asistidos por corpus, se considera la patrimonialización como acción mediada por objetos materiales que subyacen a los principios de indexicalidad, dialogicidad y selección, planteados por la geosemiótica. La acción mediada se examina como un cruce de prácticas sociales que generan un sentimiento identitario soberanista basado en una memoria colectiva selectiva, naturalizando un relato victimista basado en inexactitudes y tergiversaciones históricas.
El Aktionsart de pacientes con Alzhéimer: un análisis de corpus desde la Gramática del Papel y la Referencia
Authors: Suárez Rodríguez Alejandro
Published: July 2023

En este artículo usamos la Gramática del Papel y la Referencia (Van Valin y LaPolla, 1997; Van Valin, 2005), en especial su representación semántica por medio del aspecto léxico o Aktionsart, y aplicamos este modelo lingüístico a muestras por etapas del corpus PerLA de pacientes españoles con Alzheimer (Pérez Mantero, 2014). Con ella, analizamos la frecuencia y distribución relativa de los verbos de estas muestra mediante estadísticos básicos: media, moda, mediana, varianza, desviación típica, rango intercuartílico y coeficiente de variación. Nuestros resultados señalan un uso sistemático de los estados como Aktionsarten preferente respecto al resto de tipos de verbos, así como la existencia de cierta variabilidad en las actividades y las realizaciones activas y la ausencia de tipos concretos de verbos causativos.

Published: July 2023

Surgical wound infections are among the most common healthcare-associated infections as complications associated with them can have a significant long-term effect on the morbidity, mortality, and quality of life for patients. Knowledge on local pathogens and sensitivity to antimicrobial agents are crucial for successful treatment and management of surgical wound infection. This study evaluates the bacterial pathogens present in infected surgical wounds and their antimicrobial susceptibility profile. A total of 200 wound swabs from 112 males and 88 female patients of ages from 10 – 70 years with surgical wound infection were collected using clean, sterile swabs and analyzed using standard microbiological methods. Antibiotic disk diffusion method was used to determine the antibiotic resistance profile. Result showed that 142(71%) wound specimens were culture positive while 58(29%) showed no growth on culture media. Majority of the culture positive wounds (90.1%) showed single bacterial growth while the remaining (9.9%) revealed poly-microbial growth. The isolates were found to belong to both Gram-positive 53(37.3%) and Gram-negative 89(62.7%) bacteria. The most predominant isolate from the infected surgical wound was Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus 53 (37.3%), followed by Gram-negative Pseudomonas aeruginosa 45(31.7%), Escherichia coli 32 (22.5%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae 12 (8.5%). The result of their antibiotic sensitivity test showed that majority of the wound isolates were highly resistant to ampicillin 126(88.7 %), followed by erythromycin 114(80.3%), gentamicin 109(76.7%) and trimetoprim-sulphametoxazole 103(72.5%). The overall findings on antimicrobial profile revealed high level of antimicrobial resistance from microorganisms isolated from surgical wound infections to commonly prescribed antibiotics. Therefore, there is a need for adequate intervention to control the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Global physics-based database of injection-induced seismicity

Published: July 2023

Abstract. Fluid injection into geological formations for energy
resource development frequently induces (micro)seismicity. Moderate- to
large-magnitude induced earthquakes may cause injuries and/or economic loss,
with the consequence of jeopardizing the operation and future development of
these geo-energy projects. To achieve an improved understanding of the
mechanisms of induced seismicity, develop forecasting tools and manage the
associated risks, it is necessary to carefully examine seismic data from
reported cases of induced seismicity and the parameters controlling them.
However, these data are challenging to gather together and are
time-consuming to collate as they come from different disciplines and
sources. Here, we present a publicly available, multi-physical database of
injection-induced seismicity (Kivi et al., 2022a;
https://doi.org/10.20350/digitalCSIC/14813), sourced from an extensive
review of published documents. Currently, it contains 158 datasets of
induced seismicity caused by various subsurface energy-related applications
worldwide. Each dataset covers a wide range of variables, delineating
general site information, host rock properties, in situ geologic and
tectonic conditions, fault characteristics, conducted field operations, and
recorded seismic activities. We publish the database in flat-file formats
(i.e., .xls and .csv tables) to facilitate its dissemination and utilization
by geoscientists while keeping it directly readable by computer codes for
convenient data manipulation. The multi-disciplinary content of this
database adds unique value to databases focusing only on seismicity data. In
particular, the collected data aim at facilitating the understanding of the
spatiotemporal occurrence of induced earthquakes, the diagnosis of
potential triggering mechanisms, and the development of scaling relations of
maximum possible earthquake magnitudes and operational parameters. The
database will boost research in seismic hazard forecasting and mitigation,
paving the way for increasing contributions of geo-energy resources to
meeting net-zero carbon emissions.
Isotopic diffusion in ice enhanced by vein-water flow
Authors: Ng Felix S. L.
Published: July 2023

Abstract. Diffusive smoothing of signals on the water stable
isotopes (18O and D) in ice sheets fundamentally limits the climatic
information retrievable from these ice-core proxies. Past theories explained
how, in polycrystalline ice below the firn, fast diffusion in the network of
intergranular water veins “short-circuits” the slow diffusion within
crystal grains to cause “excess diffusion”, enhancing the rate of signal
smoothing above that implied by self-diffusion in ice monocrystals. But the
controls of excess diffusion are far from fully understood. Here, modelling
shows that water flow in the veins amplifies excess diffusion by altering
the three-dimensional field of isotope concentration and isotope transfer
between veins and crystals. The rate of signal smoothing depends not only on
temperature, the vein and grain sizes, and signal wavelength, but also on
vein-water flow velocity, which can increase the rate by 1 to 2 orders of
magnitude. This modulation can significantly impact signal smoothing at
ice-core sites in Greenland and Antarctica, as shown by simulations for the
GRIP (Greenland Ice Core Project) and EPICA (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica) Dome C sites, which reveal sensitive modulation of their
diffusion-length profiles when vein-flow velocities reach ∼ 101–102 m yr−1. Velocities of this magnitude also produce
the levels of excess diffusion inferred by previous studies for Holocene ice
at GRIP and ice of Marine Isotope Stage 19 at EPICA Dome C. Thus, vein-flow-mediated excess diffusion may help explain the mismatch between modelled and
spectrally derived diffusion lengths in other ice cores. We also show that
excess diffusion biases the spectral estimation of diffusion lengths from
isotopic signals (by making them dependent on signal wavelength) and the
reconstruction of surface temperature from diffusion-length profiles (by
increasing the ice contribution to diffusion length below the firn). Our
findings caution against using the monocrystal isotopic diffusivity to
represent the bulk-ice diffusivity. The need to predict the pattern of
excess diffusion in ice cores calls for systematic study of isotope records
for its occurrence and improved understanding of vein-scale hydrology in ice
sheets.
Ciudad-capital: sublevada y travestida. Lima y Santiago en/desde Oswaldo Reynoso y Pedro Lemebel
Authors: Chandía Araya Marco
Published: July 2023

Este artículo toma dos autores, dos obras de cada uno y dos períodos distintos en la narrativa peruana y chilena. Plantea que son creaciones de carácter sedicioso que trasvierten el orden produciendo una inflexión en el canon como en la forma de habitar la ciudad-capital que retratan. Pretende demostrar que el discurso homosexual opera como táctica contra lo orgánico y a favor de la funcionalidad; y también como una continuidad estético-ideológica que aborda la sexualidad y la política. Se vale para ello de los estudios latinoamericanos, la historia de la ciudad y la teoría crítica de Cornejo Polar. Avanza desde la tipología urbana, el habitar y la cotidianeidad hasta el análisis de las obras.
Relecturas críticas de la poética coloquialista en el marco del programa objetivista impulsado por Diario de poesía (1986-2012)
Authors: Maggi Marina
Published: July 2023

La moral de la forma coloquialista que se desarrolla en Latinoamérica durante la década del sesenta encuentra en la comunicabilidad un principio poético que opera como garante del compromiso histórico del género. En el seno del circuito poético posterior al regreso de la democracia en Argentina en 1983, la revista argentina Diario de poesía (1986-2012) problematiza, en el marco del programa objetivista naciente, los vínculos entre poesía y realidad. En este contexto, la formación interroga los presupuestos del coloquialismo, a la vez que recupera como horizonte la construcción de una lengua coloquial
