CHILE EN EL PRIMER CENTENARIO DE LA INDEPENDENCIA EN 1910: IDENTIDAD Y CRISIS MORAL
Authors: Ledezma Meneses Gerson
Published: October 2021

Tratamos aquí del discurso de intelectuales chilenos que levantaron sus voces contra el hispanismo, para acusar a la elite españolizada de corrupción, envuelta en una grave crisis moral cuando conmemoró cien años de Independencia, en 1910. Intelectuales que hasta el momento no han tenido relevancia en la historiografía latinoamericana. Mostramos que mientras, a nivel del continente, se habla de identidad latinoamericana relacionada con lo hispánico, estos escritores identifican el continente desde una perspectiva nacionalista y noamericanista. No apenas intelectuales de clase alta y media rescatan el nacionalismo para identificarse como chilenos, también lo hacen críticos socialistas y obreros, intentando defender el país de los inmigrantes y de la imitación europea. Mientras Chile vive un momento especial en las relaciones internacionales con los países de América, estos hombres de letras niegan las ventajas de ese tipo de política externa.

Aviation in the development and defense of the Arctic during the 1920s: military plans, science, propaganda, and fiction
Authors: Mikhailov Andrei Aleksandrovich , Fisheva Anastasiya Aleksandrovna
Published: October 2021

This article examines the competition for the Arctic territories between the polar regions that unfolded in the 1920s, which required active development of these lands involving airplanes and airships. At that point, of primary import was the layout of trans-Arctic airways and deployment of flight support facilities in the Arctic territories, with the accompanying use of aviation for ice reconnaissance and rescue expeditions. Special attention is given to the study of the Soviet and international experience in elaboration and implementation of programs on the military and economic development of northern territories. The topic of consistent development of the Arctic involving aviation and aerostatics is reflected not only in scientific and economic programs, but also in state propaganda, publicistic writing and literary works. The novelty of this research consists in the comprehensive approach towards the problems of involving aviation in the Soviet Union during the 1920s for the development of the Arctic, and simultaneously, building the military capacity of the state, and collective perception of the ideas of the development of Arctic territories and aviation. The conclusion is made that the processes of development of polar aviation and division of Arctic territories were the so-called catalyst for each other, which by the early 1930s allowed the Soviet Union to consolidate its position of in the Arctic. The authors’ special contribution lies in examination of various genres of the press as a particular group of sources that had an ideological influence upon public consciousness.

Early Detection of Overheating in Motorcycle Disc Brakes Based on Arduino
Authors: Kristyawan Yudi , Rofi’i Muchammad Asro
Published: October 2021

The braking system is very important on a motorcycle. The primary function of the braking system is to slow down and even stop the motorcycle. The braking system using disc brakes on motorcycles is commonly used today, especially on automatic transmission motorcycles. One of the disadvantages of disc brakes is the heat caused by the disc's friction with the brake pads if you apply continuous braking. This continuous braking is often done by a motor rider when crossing downhill roads in mountainous areas. Excessive heat in the disc brakes causes the brake fluid to boil, resulting in air bubbles resulting in braking failure. The failure of the braking system on a motorcycle is hazardous for the rider and others. The experimental method detects braking system failure by catching the disc brake's temperature with a touchless temperature sensor, MLX90614. Temperature detection is processed with Arduino as a control, and the temperature is displayed on the LCD. If the disc brake temperature is above 200oC, a buzzer is activated as a warning to the driver. The test results show that the system can display a temperature reading on the LCD lower than the thermometer gun, with the most inferior reading difference of 0.2oC and the highest 0.4oC. The system can also display notifications to users on disc brake temperatures above 200oC, namely at temperatures of 211.1oC, 224.3oC, and 237.5oC, which were achieved at 200, 225, and 250 seconds.

Oneiric Cinema Creating a Collective Dream
Authors: Junaid Mahreen
Published: October 2021

Dreams have been a source of inspiration for humans throughout the history. They vary from the ordinary to surreal. They are a universal phenomenon that links the entire humanity. They are visual and spatial experience, but very personalized. Throughout history, many artists and researchers have tried to portray dreams through various mediums such as arts and literature. But the question who success full they were in portray of nocturnal fantasies? This paper aims to present challenges that are inevitable in various mediums for the portray of dreams. It explains how cinema is one such medium that can generate a common dream that is relatable and re-interpretable. This study is to guide researchers in the field of arts and spatial design to help them pick their medium for portraying of dreams to get the most suitable come. It suggests how the cinema screen works as the psychological prosthesis of our dream screen and that the development of film technology has allowed us to view films that very faithfully mimic night fantasies. Thus, the experience of watching films in the cinema is an approximation of our own dreaming experience.

Authors: Voinea Mihaela
Published: October 2021

One of the demands of our educational system is the orientantion towards sustenability. To prepare people for future we need teachers who are able to develop the 21stcentury competences – the six macro-level competences are considered universally relevant: life-long learning, multi-literatenes, trans-disciplinarity, self-agency, interacting with others and interacting in and with the world. (Marope, 2018). This article focuses on researching the way in which pedagogical practices are changed and on studying the factors which are involved in educational changes. A longitudinaly study on ten years (2008-2018) was set up. Our purpose was to look for and describe how the educational practice has changed. The changes in educational practices are produced when they are sustained by educational politics and environmental factors as well as the teacher`s abilities and traits: reflections, novelty, openness, learning, critical thinking. The gap between present educational practice and future demands can be reduced if system teacher training is rethought according to 21stcentury competences. Transformative learning in teacher training is an adequate way of developing teacher`s competences.

Seaweed is a natural treasure that can be intensely evaluated for therapeutic purposes. During the past years, it became obvious that the ecosystem presents a marine algae excedent, which should be utilized in one way or another. Marine algae have been intensely studied. The superior exploitation of the marine biomass represents a highly important resource for the pharmaceutical industry, supplying raw material for the extraction of bioactive substances (vitamins, sterols, and aminoacids) and various other substances, the purity of which is strongly connected to the state of the marine ecosystem. In present work the extracts from marine algae are incorporated in type I non-denatured fibrillar collagen matrixes for obtain new pharmaceutical product. In order to obtain therapeutic effects at nanostructure level, it is important to know the rheological characteristics of the relevant mixtures of collagen gels and extracts from marine algae selected for use. In this survey we have studied mixtures made of non-denatured fibrillar collagen hydro-gels where different concentrations of marine algae have been incorporated.

Authors: Mohialdin Soad Najmaldin
Published: October 2021

This review search aims to show the positive and negative impact of COVID-19 on the all aspects of life such as environment, education, economy, politics, social life, and social media, and most importantly global human health and health services. particularly in the most affected countries such as China, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany, UK, Brazil, Mexico, India, and Iraq. In terms of the environment our search shows that there is a positive impact associated between measures and improvement in air quality, reduction of fossil fuel traffic pollutes, reduction in greenhouse gases (GHG) generation, clean beaches, and environmental noise reduction due to air traffic suspension. The negative impact was associated with aspects such as the reduction in recycling and the increase in waste, which was endangering the contamination of natural resources (water and land), in addition to air. Other negative impacts on reduction global economic activity. In terms of education, COVID-19 had a big effect in changing the education system from classroom to electronic learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching economic consequences beyond the spread of the disease itself and efforts to quarantine it. As this virus has spread around the globe, concerns have shifted from supply-side manufacturing issues to decreased business in the services sector. The pandemic caused the largest global recession in history, with more than a third of the global population at the time being placed on lockdown. ((Anon., April-2020) Health-wise it was the reason for the reduction of the world population due to the high mortality and death rate. This is expected to be carried on for unpredicted months perhaps a year until the right vaccine is in reach of every person in the world.
NATO in Balkans and Crisis on BiH
Authors: Muskaj Blerina
Published: October 2021

The Balkan crisis is the result of a series of conflicts in various areas of political, economic and social life in the former Yugoslavia. Relations between the former republics show the complex character of European security. Without a sustainable development of the whole region, it is impossible to guarantee security throughout the European continent. Europe was shaken by the bloody events that marked the break-up of Yugoslavia. No one could have imagined that such violent military clashes could take place in a European country, 50 years after the end of World War II, and that hundreds of thousands of people would seek refuge throughout Europe. It was clear from the beginning of the crisis in Yugoslavia that the war would continue for many years and if the international community did not intervene the result would be many casualties. The United Nations, the European Union and the OSCE tried to prevent military conflicts between the nations of the former Yugoslavia, but they failed. National elites pursued a policy aimed at creating nation-states and had outside support from influential forces. To achieve this goal they were willing to pay any price. The collapse of the former Yugoslavia, in fact, meant the end of the process that had defined the development of Western Europe since the beginning of the 20th century, in the time between the two world wars. It was the beginning of nation-states. The Balkans had lagged behind in its transformation for many reasons and unlike Western and Central Europe, the Balkan states found themselves in a different wave of historical development, accompanied by conflict and chaos. The collapse of socialism had an impact on this situation, causing new economic and political conflicts. From this point of view, all the efforts of the European and international communities, aimed at controlling the situation after the break-up of Yugoslavia, had no chance of success.
Choosing a Competitive Advantage Under the Constraints and Possibilities of the External Environment: An Empirical Study in the Retail Trade Sector in Elbasan, Albania
Authors: Balliu Teuta Hazizi , Gjorduni Florenca
Published: October 2021

The effects of macro and micro environmental on the decisions of choosing the operations strategy in the manufacturing industry are part of a number of scientific researches. In addition to this industry, the service industry, mainly in recent years, has attracted the attention of researchers, including the way it develops operations strategies. Based on the experiences of the manufacturing sector, in this paper we will try to analyze the relationships between external environmental factors and decisions on the choice of operations strategy. The conducted study highlights important relations between these variables. Thus, technology, as one of the most dynamic macro-environmental factors, through its elements such as retail computer systems or even innovations, dictates the choice of operations strategy. While other elements, such as labor supply does not appear to have the same impact as technology on choosing the right strategy of operations in the retail sector in our country. In order to prove the hypothesis raised in this study we used the factor and the path analysis. The primary data collected through the questionnaire built specifically for this study were processed with the SPSS program.
Science as Interdisciplinary Analysis of Temporary and Unstable Features, and Norbert Elias’ Relational Perspective of Fear, Violence and State
Authors: Ruvina Leida
Published: October 2021

This article aims to reflect on some views on science by Social Theory and Cultural Analysis, which have had their resonance across the biological, physical and social sciences on the topic, without easily fitting into the dominant sociological tradition. For this purpose, the focus of the analysis is upon the contributions made in social theory and cultural analysis by the American anthropologist Clifford Geertz as opposed to the logical positivism, and by the German sociologist Norbert Elias as confirmed by the Belgian physical chemist Ilya Prigogine. By defining culture as a shared system of intersubjective symbols and meanings, a science of culture has been considered in terms of interdisciplinary analysis of temporary and unstable features; little–predictable at all levels of physical evolution, social organization, and psychological process. In contrast to classical science, whose views emphasized stability and order, Elias has found in nature the relations between biological, physical and cultural processes and to him that explains how nature, society, and individuals are interdependent with each other. By analyzing Elias’ view on science, I will identify the strengths and limitations of his Figurational Sociology, where the real investigation to capture long-term figurational dynamics and developments is achieved only with the right degree of detachment from (rather than involvement into) social life and political commitment. The civilizing process remains the perfect object to study the relationship among power, knowledge, emotion, and behavior over time. The concept of civilization as a matter of perception, of natural science as temporary, strongly influenced by the external environment, and shaped by cultural receptivity to its dominant ideas, may be of particular interest in terms of policy evaluation and management of the res publica. Elias’ relational perspective of fear, violence, and state is vital in the processual approach to the formation of class, caste, and of urban space. And rather than a laudatory or carpingly nihilist speech–which history shows it can foster cruel behaviour across a nation– critical thinking should be seriously considered and encouraged by experts of media, academia and political communication, to avoid potential barbarisms in the twenty-first Century, in developing, second or first world countries.
Dispositions of Adults with Low Education Levels, and Who Haven't Returned to Formal Education, Towards Lifelong Learning
Authors: Silva Vanessa Carvalho da
Published: October 2021

This study aims to determine how adults with low education levels perceive lifelong education by analysing a set of interconnected and complementary aspects. The methodological strategy focussed on a qualitative analysis based on semi-directive interviews of a biographical nature. Identifying the reasons for the abandonment of initial (formal) education and obstacles faced by these adults over time revealed a myriad of factors justifying their disengagement from available education offers. To understand the amplitude of a phenomenon that links lifelong learning, knowledge, literacy and education level, in situations of a non-return to formal education, the study involved an in-depth analysis of the dispositions of persons who have “remained outside” of this relation with learning.Keywords: Lifelong learning, knowledge society, adults with a low education level, dispositions.

The statistical significance was set at a P-value ≤0.05. Findings: The current study revealed that 178 (42.2%) of health care workers intended to receive the COVID-19 vaccines. The results of our study showed that the majority of participants don’t believe that COVID-19 vaccine is effective and safe (n=279.66.1%), and couldn’t save lives (n=228, 54.1%). Factors such as age group >55 (AOR: 2.75; 95% CI: 1.092-5.472; P=0.008), Female(AOR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.243-2.796; P=0.003), nurses (AOR: 2.17; 95% CI: 0.621-5.087; P=0.0094) and midwives (AOR: 2.521; 95% CI: 2.497-8.24; P=0.0002), married (AOR: 1.74; 95% CI: 0.218-4.530; P=0.006), health care workers who had contact with COVID-19 patient were twice as likely to accept the vaccine (AOR: 1.93; 95% CI: 1.360- 3.784; P=0.0001) and health care workers who indicated that they had more serious medical condition (AOR: 2.61; 95% CI: 0.981-3.618; P=0.007) proved to be significant predictors of the acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Factors such as taking vitamin C (AOR: 1.624; 95% CI: 0.945-2.596; P=0.0003), poor safety of vaccines (AOR: 7.041; 95% CI: 3.692-13.375; P=0.000), those believe effective medicine avail for treating COVID-19 (AOR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.596-3.485; P=0.0076), no adequate trials about COVID-19 (AOR: 7.041; 95% CI: 3.692-13.375; P=0.000), and unwanted side effects of the vaccines (AOR: 3.422; 95% CI: 1.448-8.096; P=0.005) were identified as indicators why health care workers would decline uptake of COVID-19 vaccines. Conclusion and Recommendation: Our survey revealed that the eagerness to acceptance of covid-19 vaccine among health care workers in oromia regional state was somewhat meagre. Nurses and Midwives were more likely to accept the COVID-19 vaccines than others health care workers. Oromia health bureau should have to give training about COVID-19 vaccine to all health care workers.

Published: October 2021

В статье исследуется проблема конституционного регулирования экономики. Отмечается неуклонное расширение предмета конституционного регулирования в аспекте экономических отношений. Конституция не просто задает общие стандарты регулирования и развития хозяйственной сферы, а воздействует на нормы других отраслей права так, что они приобретают конституционно-правовое содержание и должны истолковываться в свете конституционных ценностей. Это обстоятельство требует корректировки методологии правовой науки и пересмотра модели мышления российских юристов в направлении конституционализации.

The article analyzes the problem of regulating economic relations in constitutions. The expansion of constitutional regulation in the aspect of economic relations is proved. The Constitution does not only set common standards for regulation and development of the economic sphere any more, but affects the other fields of law. Therefore, they acquire constitutional and legal content and should be interpreted in the light of constitutional doctrines and constitutional values. This fact requires an adjustment of the methodology of legal science and a revision of methodology of Russian law in the direction of constitutionalization.

La aplicación de las nanopartículas poliméricas en el área dermatológica ha adquirido una gran relevancia debido a que pueden liberar activos para que tengan un efecto local o sistémico. El objetivo del presente estudio fue desarrollar y optimizar una formulación de nanocápsulas poliméricas (NC) cargadas con un agente antioxidante natural (carvacrol, CRV) para su potencial aplicación local en la piel. Se obtuvo una formulación de NC biodegradables con CRV que presentaron un tamaño promedio de 180 nm con un IP de 0.083, un potencial s=-17.8 mV y un porcentaje de encapsulación del 51 %. Por microscopía electrónica de barrido se observó que las poblaciones de NC-CRV eran esféricas y homogéneas. La formulación fue estable por al menos 16 semanas. Además, la técnica de nanoprecipitación resultó ser un buen método de preparación, ya que, se logró obtener una eficiencia de encapsulación mayor al 90 %. Finalmente, se concluyó que las características y propiedades de la formulación de NC- CRV son las adecuadas para que sea usada como sistema acarreador de CRV con una potencial aplicación para prevenir el cáncer de piel causado por la sobreexposición al sol.

Actualmente, uno de los procesos que teóricamente ha demostrado ser uno de los más eficientes para la producciónmasiva de hidrógeno es el ciclo termoquímico Azufre-Yodo (S-1). Debido a que, este proceso de producción requiere deun gran inventario de materiales tóxicos, es necesario el diseño de sistemas de emergencia con la finalidad de proteger las instalaciones y equipos, el ambiente y la población. Unas de las consideraciones importantes para dicho diseño son losresultados obtenidos en las símulaciones de liberaciones de las sustancias involucradas en el proceso. Estas símulacionesse hicieron, previamente, con el código de computadora Phast, incluyendo tanto la fuga a través de una falla pequeña dela tubería, así como la falla catastrófica, con la finalidad de determinar la localización óptima de los equipos, así como elinventario requerido para el control de las liberaciones. Las condiciones de operación fueron tomadas de una combinación del diseño preliminar propuesto por General Atomics y las optímizadas por el Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, con base en una producción de 1 kmol/s de hidrógeno. Los materiales propuestos para la neutralización de las sustancias liberadas fueron seleccionados considerando que no incrementaran el inventario de sustancias tóxicas deproceso.

Mediante un análisis teórico ha sido prevista la posibilidad de realizar el proceso de la determinación electroanalítica de Danazol sobre el cátodo, modificado por el nitruro de carbono. El modelo matemático, relativo al proceso electroanalítico, ha sido desarrollado y analizado mediante la teoría de estabilidad lineal y de análisis de bifurcaciones. Ha sido comprobada teóricamente la eficiencia del nitruro de carbono como modificador de cátodo para la electroreducción de Danazol. Otrosí, la zona de la dependencia lineal entre la concentración del fármaco y el parámetro electroquímico se hace bastante ancha para el uso en detección en formas farmacéuticas y líquidos biológicos. Por otro lado, el comportamiento oscilatorio, bien como el monotónico, también se puede realizar.
Nurses’ Knowledge and Attitudes about Adult Post-operative Pain Assessment and Management: A Cross-Sectional Study in Qatar
Authors: Samara Haya , OHara Lily
Published: October 2021

Background: Pain has been described by clinicians, patients, and researchers alike as a complex and challenging phenomenon. People have different experiences of pain. Nurses’ negative attitudes and lack of knowledge are major impediments to effective pain management. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional online survey using a validated self-administered questionnaire for post-operative registered nurses working in Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar. The dependent outcome was the score on the Knowledge and Attitudes Survey Regarding Pain. Results: A total of 151 post-operative nurses participated in the study. The mean knowledge and attitudes (K&A) score was 19.6 (SD 4.5) out of 41 (48%), indicating a huge deficit in the nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about adult post-operative pain. No sociodemographic variables were associated with K&A scores. Neither the facility the nurses worked at nor hours of previous pain education were associated with K&A scores. Conclusions: There is a significant deficit in post-operative nurses’ knowledge and attitudes about pain in Hamad Medical Corporation, with no significant differences based on demographics or other characteristics. This suggests the deficit is widespread within the nursing workforce in Qatar. This deficit is potentially impacting significantly on pain assessment and management for adults in post-operative settings. Pragmatic research on evidence-based nursing educational courses focused on pain assessment and management is required to enhance nurses’ knowledge and attitudes and improve patient care. Key messages: Strategies to strengthen nurses’ knowledge and attitudes toward pain in Qatar must be developed and tested.
Elaeagnus Angustifolia extract inhabits cell invasion of human colorectal cancer cells and increases the survival rate of the Drosophila colon cancer model
Authors: Fouzat Arij
Published: October 2021

Colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common type of cancer in the world, is an aggressive type of cancer with high tendency to metastasize and invade to other tissues and distant organs. Traditional CRC treatment regimen includes 5-fluorouracil (5-FU); however, tumors develop a resistance against these drugs, apart from the severe side effects that develop upon these therapies. Nowadays, traditional medicinal plants are the focus of increased interest as a source for new potential drugs, particularly those that serve as anti-cancerous agents. Elaeagnus angustifolia (EA) is a medicinal plant that can be used traditionally to manage several human ailments including cancers especially oral and HER2-positive breast cancer as recently reported by our group. However, the effect of EA flower extract on human CRC has not been investigated yet. Therefore, EA effect was explored in vitro using KRAS CRC cell lines (HCT-116 and LoVo) and in vivo using transgenic Drosophila melanogaster model for KRAS gene, which is known to develop CRC. Our results from the in vitro investigations revealed that EA flower extract significantly inhibits cell motility and invasion in addition to colony formation. Moreover, we found that EA extract modulates the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) event and its related genes; EMT is a known hallmark of cancer invasion and metastasis. More significantly, our in vivo data pointed out that EA extract increases the survival rate of KRAS mutation D. melanogaster model. Our findings implicate that EA extract may possess chemo-preventive effects against human CRC.
