Authors: Reyes Guzmán Ashley Karina , Martínez Mercado Karla Yorián , Jiménez Mieses Michelle Marie , Romano Peralta Ramón Antonio
Published: February 2021

Introducción: las enfermedades cardiovasculares com- prenden un conjunto de trastornos del corazón y de los vasos sanguíneos, actualmente ocupan el primer lugar en causa de muertes a nivel mundial. Las enfermedades cardiovasculares pueden ser prevenidas mediante la estimación del riesgo cardiovascular del paciente y abordaje de su factor de riesgo cardiovascular.

Objetivo general: evaluar el riesgo cardiovascular en adultos del distrito municipal de Santana, Peravia, República Dominicana, durante el periodo noviembre – diciembre 2019.

Metodología: estudio de observacional, prospectivo, de corte transversal y analítico en el cual se analizaron 160 pacientes para evaluar el riesgo cardiovascular y factores de riesgo asociados con el estimador de riesgo del American College of Cardiology (ACC).

Resultados: el 36.26 % de la población estuvo en riesgo cardiovascular bajo a 10 años; la media de riesgo cardiovascular de por vida fue 47.7 % en el sexo masculino y 35.5 % en el sexo femenino; los factores de riesgo cardiovascular de dislipidemia (con un 56.3 %), hiperglicemia (con un 65.6 %) e hipertensión arterial (HTA) (33.1 %) fueron los más frecuentes. La correlación entre síndrome metabólico y riesgo cardiovascular fue negativa (R²=0.037).

Conclusiones: el riesgo cardiovascular a 10 años de la población fue predominantemente bajo, con una minoría de la población teniendo altos niveles. Esto coincide con una alta frecuencia de factores de riesgo cardiovasculares modificables. No se encontró relación entre los criterios diagnósticos de síndrome metabólico y riesgo cardiovascular. Los principales factores hallados fueron dislipidemia, hiperglicemia y HTA.

Recomendaciones: la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y la American Heart Association (AHA), recomiendan la prevención primaria y la educación sobre los factores de riesgo como las mejores medidas a tomar para disminuir la alta prevalencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares.
INEVITABLE INTERACTIONS FOSTERING PEACE IN THE CONTEXT OF CULTURE AND RELIGION
Authors: Olayinka Akintayo Sunday
Published: February 2021

The inevitability of interactions among the Yorùbá as a community of
people regardless of their religious differences is the focus of this
paper. Here, the author presents how the Yorùbá have displayed a
substantial evidence of freedom of religion and understanding of their
neighbours to manage conflict and sustain their peace. One of the ways
in which religion has been useful to maintain good relationships among
the Yorùbá is its focus on tolerance, patience, and other virtues that
heads of families and community leaders teach their members. Their
social interactions at home and within their community are inevitable,
and these helped to keep the Yorùbá in harmony and to settle conflicts
and disputes more often than would have thought of in other
communities.

Note: This paper is a part of the author’s research findings and
contains some of chapter seven of the dissertation with a few amendments
to suit this journal article requirement.
Age trends in direct medical costs of pediatric asthma: a population-based study
Authors: Chen Wenjia , Tavakoli Hamid , FitzGerald J , Subbarao Padmaja , Stuart Turvey , Sadatsafavi Mohsen
Published: February 2021

Background: Quantifying age trends in healthcare costs of pediatric
asthma leads to better understanding of the natural history of the
disease and informed decision-making on the allocation of healthcare
resources. Methods: We identified children with incident asthma from the
health administrative data of British Columbia, Canada (Jan 1998 to Dec
2015), and followed them from their first diagnosis of asthma or
wheezing until age 18. We estimated direct medical costs (in 2016
Canadian dollars [$]), including inpatient and outpatient
encounters and pharmacy costs, attributed to asthma (primary outcome)
and other respiratory diseases (secondary outcome). We assessed the
impact of sex and socioeconomic status on age trends, adjusting for
calendar effect. Results: The final analysis included 44,552 children
with asthma (62% boys). From age 0 to 18, costs of asthma/wheezing and
other respiratory conditions decreased from $1,036 to $29/child-year,
and from $1,145 to $31/child-year, respectively. Children under 3
years of age incurred 4–fold higher costs for asthma/wheezing and other
respiratory conditions. In particular, costs of asthma hospitalizations
were 10 times higher in this age group compared to older children. Age
trends were generally similar between sex groups and across
socioeconomic status. However, medication costs for asthma/wheezing
decreased in boys, whereas those in girls declined during childhood but
increased during adolescence. Conclusions: The highest costs of
pediatric asthma are concentrated in children younger than 3. Age trends
were generally consistent between sex and across socioeconomic status.

Creating space for Indigenous perspectives on access and benefit-sharing: encouraging researcher use of the Local Contexts Notices
Authors: Liggins Libby , Hudson Maui , Anderson Jane
Published: February 2021

A recent Molecular Ecology editorial made a proactive statement
of support for the “Nagoya Protocol” and the principle of
benefit-sharing (Marden et al. 2020) by requiring authors to provide a
“Data Accessibility and Benefit‐Sharing Statement” in their articles.
Here, we encourage another step that enables Indigenous communities to
provide their own definitions and aspirations for access and
benefit-sharing alongside the author’s “Statement”. We invite
the Molecular Ecology research community to use Biocultural-,
Traditional Knowledge-, and Cultural Institution Notices to help
Indigenous communities gain visibility within our research structures.
Notices are one of the tools offered by the Biocultural Labels
Initiative (part of the Local Contexts system) designed specifically for
researchers and institutions. The Notices are highly visible,
machine-readable icons that signal the Indigenous provenance of genetic
resources, and rights of Indigenous communities to define the future use
of genetic resources and derived benefits. The Notices invite
collaboration with Indigenous communities and create spaces within our
research systems for them to define the provenance, protocols, and
permissions associated with genetic resources using Labels. Authors
contributing to Molecular Ecology can apply Notices to their
articles by providing the persistent unique identifier and an optional
use-statement associated with the Notice in their “Data Accessibility
and Benefit‐Sharing Statement”. In this way, our research community has
an opportunity to accelerate support for the principles of the Nagoya
Protocol, to alleviate concerns regarding Indigenous Data Sovereignty
and equitable outcomes, and to build better relationships with
Indigenous collaborators to enhance research, biodiversity, and
conservation outcomes.
Risk factors for habitual snoring in children aged 2--14 years
Authors: Lei Lei , Jiang Zijing , Zou Jian , Zhao Yu , Yu Lingyu , Zhu Ping
Published: February 2021

Abstract Background: Habitual snoring (HS), a prominent symptom of
sleep-disordered breathing , is important to also consider the
associated, multidimensional risk factors for HS in children. Aim: To
identify risk factors for HS in children. Methods: A cross-sectional
survey was performed in Chengdu. Children aged 2–14 years from four
districts were randomly chosen to participate.Questionnaires were
voluntarily completed by the children’s guardians. Results: The survey
included 926 boys and 622 girls, who were an average of 7.11 5.25 years
old. The sample included 463 habitual snorers (30.38%), 683 occasional
snorers (44.82%), and 402 non-snorers (26.38%). HS was found in
51.84% of preschool children and 26.6% of school children.Among the HS
group, 31.3% had a maternal education of a college degree or higher and
86.6%had an immediate family member who snores. Breastfeeding duration
among the HS group was significantly less than among the occasional
snoring and non-snoring groups. History of symptoms of allergic
rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, tonsillitis, and pneumonia/bronchitis in the
past six months were associated with HS. Likewise, maternal smoking
during pregnancy, maternal exposure to secondhand smoke during pregnancy
, and child exposure to secondhand smoke were also associated with HS.
Conclusion: The prevalence of HS was higher in preschool children.
Having a mother with more education, a family history of snoring, a
shorter period of breastfeeding, upper respiratory tract inflammation,
and passive smoking are important risk factors for HS.
INSPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINING REDUCES HEART ANXIETY IN PATIENTS SUBMITTED TO CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING: CONTROLLED RANDOMIZED CLINICAL TRIAL
Authors: Cordeiro André Luiz Lisboa , Mascarenhas Hayssa , Soares Lucas , Melo Thiago , Almeida Franciele , Araujo Erivelton , Guimarães André , Petto Jefferson
Published: February 2021

Introduction:Cardiac anxiety(CA) is a common finding in patients in the
pre- and postoperative period of coronary artery bypass graft(CABG)
surgery. Ventilatory restriction generated by pain and reduced muscle
strength is associated with increased CA level. Inspiratory muscle
training(IMT) for generating increased muscle strength can cause a
decrease in CA in the postoperative period. Objective:To evaluate the
impact of IMT on inspiratory muscle strength and its relationship with
cardiac anxiety in patients undergoing CABG. Methodology:This is a
randomized controlled clinical trial. In the preoperative moment, all
patients answered a cardiac anxiety questionnaire, composed of two
domains: fear and vigilance and avoidance. In addition, their maximum
inspiratory pressure(MIP) was assessed. After the surgical procedure,
the patients were divided into a control group(CG) that received routine
hospital care and a training group(TG) who underwent an IMT protocol
until the moment of hospital discharge. Results:80 patients were
evaluated,40 in each group. The IMT group showed a 17% decrease in MIP
while the CG decreased 43%(p <0.01). The fear and vigilance
domain had a decrease of -16±3 in the CG while in the TG the reduction
was -8±3(p <0.01). The avoidance domain reduced -17±4 in the
CG vs -10±4 in the TG(p <0.01). In addition, there was a
strong correlation between the MIP of the TG with the domains of
fear/vigilance(r -0.77) and avoidance(r -0.72). Conclusion:IMT is
associated with a reduction in the loss of inspiratory muscle strength,
resulting in a reduced level of cardiac anxiety in patients undergoing
CABG.

Published: February 2021

Background/Aim. Determining the value of Gissane?s angle (GA) plays a role in the diagnosis and prognosis of heel fractures, determining treatment methods, and assessing the outcome of surgical treatment. Normal values of the GA vary in relation to ethnicity, age, and gender of the examined group, which indicates its anthropometric significance. The aim of this study was to determine the range of normal GA values in the population of Central Serbia. Methods. GA was determined on lateral radiography of the foot of 145 subjects of both sexes (67 women and 78 men), with subjects divided into 6 age groups. The patients included in the study did not have a calcaneus fracture. The obtained results were processed in the Graph Pad program. Results. The average value of GA in Central Serbia was 110.8? ? 8.1?, ranging from 93? to 132.9?. The mean value of GA decreased with age, and no difference was observed between women and men, except in the youngest age group, where women had higher GA values than men. Conclusion. The results of the study showed a wide range of normal GA values, as well as the existence of a difference in subjects of different ages and sex.

Rehabilitation of a patient with alien hand syndrome: A case report of a 61-year old man
Authors: Bru Inge , Verhamme Lisa , De Neve Pascal , Maebe Hanne
Published: February 2021

Objective: Alien hand syndrome is a rare neurological disorder in which the patient makes seemingly purposeful movements of one hand, which are dissociated from any conscious intent. These abnormal movements are very annoying, and can be disabling, for the patient. There is no established effective treatment for alien hand syndrome.
Methods: Report of a case of a 61-year old man with frontal variant of alien hand syndrome following ischaemic stroke.
Results: During therapy, the patient unwittingly grabbed objects with his right hand and could not voluntarily release his grip. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation was started, with learning of compensation strategies and a focus on bimanual tasks. Follow-up after 5 months showed a major improvement in the Functional Index Measure (FIM) score, an improvement from 36 to 79 on 126 scored items.
Conclusion: It is important to recognize this rare syndrome because of its disabling character. Evidence about the best treatment for alien hand syndrome is scarce. There is an important role for specific exercises and patient education. During rehabilitation of the patient, most improvement occurred with bimanual tasks and different colours (black, white and other bright colours) to navigate the subject's attention more to one side. Another exercise strategy was letting the alien hand catch a cube, after which the patient was able to perform more exercises with the other hand during one ? handed training. In the current case, the alien hand syndrome resolved following specific and multidisciplinary rehabilitation.

Published: February 2021

Objective: Periods of lockdown due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have a negative effect on individuals? physical health and quality of life, and may result in a weakened immune response, leading to enhanced risk of infection. Due to lack of access to public resources during periods of lockdown many individuals cannot perform their usual daily physical activities. The aim of this short report is to discuss the use of mobile-based health applications and virtual reality systems for promoting physical activity at home through an interactive and motivating digital environment.
Methods and results: Information on tele-health, available from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and data on physical activity during lockdowns were reviewed. A list of mobile-based health applications suitable for use in promoting physical activity at home was compiled.
Conclusion: This report makes recommendations for mobile-based health applications to promote physical health, which can be used at home during periods of lockdown.
Debating Democracy
Authors: Conway Martin
Published: February 2021

This chapter details how the Socialist and Christian Democratic movements competed and collaborated in the process of democracy-building. Much of the historical writing about both Christian Democracy and Socialism in the post-1945 era has had a somewhat teleological (and occasionally self-congratulatory) character, dominated by self-contained narratives of the path that each political movement followed into democracy, and the ways that these movements in turn enriched the content of that democracy. This approach reflects the way in which these accounts have often been written from within their respective political traditions, with the consequence that they have been primarily concerned with reconstructing the trajectories of their political traditions, rather than the democracy that they made together. In contrast, the chapter explores the understandings of democracy advanced by Socialists and Christian Democrats through the prisms of their past history, their ideological declarations, and—perhaps most importantly—their programmes for the future construction of democracy. These threefold claims regarding past, present, and future could at times be convergent and complementary, especially when directed against Communism, but they were more frequently dialectical as Socialists and Christian Democrats defined their positions against each other, and thereby advanced their claims to ownership of democracy.

Rice is a cereal crop that belongs to the graminae family of high economic value, and is the main food for more than a portion of the world's population. This study aims to determine the relationship genetic of rice in Kampar by RAPD marker. Eight genotypes of rice from district in Kampar were amplified using eight primers (OPA 5, OPB 7, OPC 19, OPD 2, OPD 3, OPD 8, OPD 11, and OPD 13). The analysis of molecular data was performed by using NTSys pc -2.02 and GenAlex 6.1 . The results of the amplification of rice produced 48 loci with DNA band sizes obtained ranging from 350-1700 bp. The average percentage of polymorphic loci of the eight primers was 49.80%, where the highest percentage of polymorphic loci produced by OPA-7 primer was 75%, while the lowest polymorphic locus percentage was observed in OPD-13 primer which was 14.28%. The value of genetic distance between rice from Kampar in this study is in the range of 0.06 - 0.37. At a genetic distance of 0.79, rice plants can be grouped into two groups, namely the first group consisting of sokan and coku. The second group consisted of suntiong, korean , cupak putio, kuniong, jangguik, and cupak tenggi. The results of this study are expected to be taken into consideration in developing rice breeding strategies in the future.

Published: February 2021

Sparsity adalah satu masalah yang sering terjadi pada teknik collaborative clustering dimana user sedikit sekali memiliki informasi (pada penelitian ini rating) yang menyebabkan sistem seringkali tidak akurat ketika memberikan rekomendasi. Banyak metode yang bisa digunakan untuk menyelesaikan masalah sparsity data, salah satunya adalah metode KNN. Namun metode KNN memiliki kelemahan yaitu scalability. Scalability terjadi ketika ketika data yang harus dicari kesamaannya semakin besar. Salah satu solusi yang mungkin diimplementasikan adalah dengan mencari profil dari user dan mengelompokkannya menjadi satu kelompok. Eksperimen yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini untuk mengatasi masalah sparsity dan scalability adalah dengan menggabungkan algoritma silhouette, k-means, K-Nearest Neighbour. Dataset yang dipakai di penelitian ini, berjumlah 700 rating yang di crawling melalui web traveloka. Data rating antara user dan item akan disimpan dalam database, untuk selanjutnya dirubah menjadi bentuk array user-item. Hasil pengujian dengan 5 data uji didapatkan nilai rata-rata RMSE 1,33% dengan rata-rata akurasi = 100% - 1,33% = 98,67%.

Experimental Investigation on Triple Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger with Helical Baffles
Authors: Kumar Gaur Rohit , Kumar Jain Dr. Shashi , Lomash Dr. Sukul
Published: February 2021

A heat exchanger is a device used to transfer thermal energy between two or more liquids, between a solid surface and a liquid, or between solid particles and a liquid at different temperatures and in thermal contact where shell and tube heat exchangers contain a large number of tubes packed in a jacket whose axes are parallel to those of the shell. Heat transfer occurs when one fluid flows into the pipes while the other flows out of the pipes through the jacket. In industry, three-tube heat exchanger tubes are used as condensers, evaporators, sub cooler, heat recovery heat exchangers, etc. The three concentric tube heat exchanger is a constructively modified version of the double concentric tube heat exchanger as an intermediate tube adds some advantages over the double tube heat exchangers in that it is larger tube surface area heat transfer per unit of length.  In the present study, the triple tube heat exchanger is further modified by inserting helical baffle over the surface of one of the tubes and observed turbulence flow which may lead to high heat transfer rates between the fluids of heat exchanger. Further, the Reynolds number, Nusselt number, friction factor of the flow at different mass flow rates of the hot fluid while keeping a constant mass flow rate of cold and normal temperature fluids were calculated. It was found that as the mass flow rate of the fluid increases the Reynolds number increases, the turbulence in the flow will increase which will cause the intermixing of the fluid, higher the rate of intermixing, more will be the heat transfer of the system.
Two-sided Effect of Empowering Leadership on Follower’s Job Stress
Authors: Sohn Young Woo , Kang Yun Jin
Published: February 2021

In this study, we aimed to investigate the two-sided effect of empowering leadership on follower’s job stress by focusing on the potential for positive and negative effects of empowering leadership. Based on the empowerment theory and the role theory of accountability, we examined the mediating effects of self-efficacy and felt accountability and the moderated mediation effects of perceived organizational support(POS) in the relationship between empowering leadership and job stress. A total of 427 Korean employees participated in this study through an online survey. The results show that empowering leadership has indirect effects on job stress mediated by self-efficacy and felt accountability. Specifically, empowering leadership reduced job stress via increased self-efficacy, while increased job stress via increased felt accountability. Evidence was also found of the moderating role of POS: the positive relation between felt accountability and job stress was stronger for those with a low level of POS than those with a high POS. However, the moderating effect of POS was not found in the relationship between self-efficacy and job stress. In addition, the mediating effect of felt accountability was moderated by POS in the relationship between empowering leadership and follower’s job stress. Based on the results, we discuss several implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research.

SÍMBOLOS MITOLÓGICOS DE LOS SANTUARIOS MEGALÍTICOS TRACIOS, Y DE LOS SANTUARIOS CRISTIANOS Y MUSULMANES EN LOS BALCANES
Authors: Markov Vassil
Published: February 2021

Resumen: Los antiguos espacios sagrados tracios megaliticos y dolménicos están llenos de símbolos estrechamente conectados con la mitología de los tracios y las antiguas prácticas de culto, típicas de esta área. Las más numerosas son las grandes tallas en piedra de huellas que el folclore búlgaro considera las del heroe Krali Marko, considerado como el guardia de las personas en Bulgaria. En la ciencia contemporánea que estudia la Tracia se cree que él ha sido el sucesor del Dionisio tracio.Hacer un lugar sagrado con una piedra tallada de su huella como altar del héroe, fue realmente una autentica prueba para los creyentes de la antiguedad, de que Dios habia estado allí en la primogenia época mitológica. En este sentido, mediante el contacto con lo divino, la roca monumental se convierte en sagrada y el lugar se convierte en un santuario. Lo crudo se convierte en cocido, la Naturaleza se convierte en cultura. Con el establecimiento de la Cristianidad como única religion en el Imperio Romano desde el siglo IV, algunos de los santuarios megalíticos de los Tracios fueron abandonados, aunque otros fueron cristianizados. Después, en la Edad Media, otros fueron apropiados como espacio sagrado Islámico. De esta manera, permanecen como espacios sagrados en los Balcanes. Parte de los signos-símbolos que hay en ellos han adquirido nuevos significados debido al espiritu de las nuevas religiones. Palabras claves: Antrología; historia de la cultura; religión; mitología; arqueología;
LA LÓGICA POÉTICA DE GIAMBATTISTA VICO: LO SAGRADO EN LOS ORÍGENES DEL LENGUAJE
Authors: Benítez Miguel Ángel
Published: February 2021

Esta investigación trata sobre la Lógica poética formulada por Giambattista Vico en la Ciencia nueva. Se trata de una teoría de la génesis, desarrollo y constitución del λóγος humano, no en cuanto intelecto, sino en cuanto expresión lingüística. Trata pues del origen del lenguaje. Esta investigación se desarrolla en dos partes (sincrónica y diacrónica) de la que aquí presento la primera. En ulteriores investigaciones acometeré la segunda. El trabajo se inicia con un estudio de las fuentes vichianas y su reformulación por parte de nuestro pensador. Seguidamente se analiza el requisito para la formación de cualquier lenguaje natural (es decir, no formal), que para Vico reside en lo que llama una Metafísica poética. El núcleo del trabajo estriba en la comprensión de lo que Vico denomina primera operación de la mente humana. Desde esta teoría del conocimiento cabe acceder al estudio sincrónico de los factores que posibilitan el lenguaje humano. Los divido en tres tipos: biopsicológicos, socio-culturales e internos al mismo lenguaje.

El objeto de esta investigación es tratar del nacimiento, crecimiento y plenitud de las relaciones amorosas en la obra de Ibn Hazm de Córdoba. La hipótesis que lo guía es que en Ibn Hazm se da una articulación entre ἔρως y voluntad electiva sin la cual el dinamismo amoroso no llega a su fin. Las investigaciones hasta la fecha subrayan aspectos algunos aspectos del platonismo de Ibn Hazm como el poder elevante del amor y su fuerza unitiva, pero no suelen caracterizar metafísicamente el eros y desatienden el momento reflexivo y unitivo, que sin embargo es necesario para Ibn Hazm dada la intención ética que preside El collar de la paloma.
SOBRE LA CREATIVIDAD O DE LA INTERACCIÓN POÉTICA CON EL MUNDO. ESTUDIO SOBRE LA MAESTRA BUDISTA KIM IRYEOP
Authors: Luque Moya Gloria
Published: February 2021

Kim Iryeop (1896-1971) fue una de las escritoras feministas más controvertidas de la modernidad coreana y una maestra seon de renombre. Nació el 9 de junio de 1896 en un pueblo al sur de la provincia de Pyeong’an. Su padre era un pastor protestante y su madre una mujer ilustrada para su época, que animo a su hija a estudiar. Tras graduarse en la Ewha Womans University, Kim se convirtió en una prolífera escritora y en una figura primordial del movimiento feminista nueva mujer (sin yeoja). Sin embargo, a principio de los años treinta, Kim abandonó su vida secular y se ordenó monja budista. Este estudio presenta un análisis sobre la filosofía budista que desarrolla Kim, mostrando las principales preocupaciones y aportaciones de su propuesta.

LOS AMEŠA SPENTA Y LA BIBLIA
Authors: Antón Pacheco José Antonio
Published: February 2021

El presente estudio establece cómo los elementos iranios que estructuraban la realidad: el ganado, la tierra, el fuego, los metales, el agua, la vegetación y el hombre, trascendidos a realidades espirituales mediadoras entre la divinidad y la humanidad, son asumidos en la tradición bíblica desde el Antiguo Testamento hasta el libro del Apocalisis como personalidades angélicas. Como realidades que motivan la experiencia de lo sagrado perdura este fondo espiritual en pensadores próximos en el tiempo como Rilke, Flechner, D’Ors, Petersen, o Corbin.
SOBRE EL MITO DE OSIRIS
Authors: Piulats Riu Octavi
Published: February 2021

El artículo presenta el Mito de Osiris de la antigua cultura egipcia, mito que ciertamente no pertenece a la tradición mitológica asiática, sino a la tradición del llamado “fértil creciente” de Oriente Medio aunque sus raíces son africanas. Justificamos empero su inclusión en esta selección debido a la enorme trascendencia que ha tenido dicho mito en el imaginario religioso europeo y en especial en el de la religión judeo-cristiana. El primer objetivo del artículo es exponer los orígenes y las fuentes de dicho mito. En segundo lugar la intención es exponer un breve resumen de la comprensión del mito en general pero en especial la peculiaridad del mito egipcio. El tercer objetivo del artículo reside en tratar de realizar una interpretación filosófica del mismo, prioritariamente a través de los textos de Plutarco. La tesis final apunta a que se trata de un mito que apoyado en la iniciación práctica, aporta respuestas a algunas de las preguntas existenciales humanas.
Contemplando lo Real. Una lectura akbarí de las experiencias visionarias de Ahmad Tijani.
Authors: De Diego González Antonio
Published: February 2021

En el sufismo la experiencia visionaria (ru’ya) es uno de los principales métodos de conocimiento profundo de la realidad (ḥaqīqa). La visión verídica (ru’ya ṣadīqa) y la visión despierta (ru’ya fi-l yaqẓa) son las principales vías de acceso al mundo imaginal (‘ālam al-mithāl) y a la hermenéutica vital que se desprende de estas experiencias. Este trabajo recoge y analiza desde una perspectiva filosófica las principales experiencias visionarias de uno de los más importantes personajes de la ṭarīqa Tijāniyya, Aḥmad Tijāni, comparándolas ambas con los planteamientos y vivencias de Muḥy al-dīn Ibn ‘Arabī sobre la experiencia visionaria.
Foro islámico Global: Panislamismo digital en tiempos de COVID-19
Authors: Taussig Sylvie , Valadez Betancourt Yolotl
Published: February 2021

La epidemia del coronavirus ha afectado profundamente las prácticas religiosas en casi todo el mundo pues las políticas de aislamiento obstaculizan el ejercicio comunitario de la vivencia espiritual propia de muchos cultos. Sin embargo para algunos sectores la pandemia ha posibilitado la generación de nuevas prácticas y formas de crear comunidad a la distancia utilizando para ello la web. Este documento es una reflexión general sobre las religiones mundializadas y el COVID-19, que busca aportar un elemento de análisis para entender el islam latino y cómo se organiza frente a la crisis, pues veremos que a pesar de la pandemia el trabajo de proselitismo no sólo no se ha detenido, sino que se ha ampliado, a la par que se propone la creación de una ummah global. Y finalmente se da una idea general de la recomposición de una parte del islam latino y de ciertos grupos del islam mundializado
Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of methadone administered intravenously and intramuscularly to isoflurane-anesthetized chickens

OBJECTIVE

To determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of methadone after IV or IM administration to isoflurane-anesthetized chickens.

ANIMALS

6 healthy adult Hy-Line hens.

PROCEDURES

In a randomized crossover-design study, methadone (6 mg/kg) was administered IV and IM to isoflurane-anesthetized chickens with a 1-week washout period between experiments. Blood samples were collected immediately before and at predetermined time points up to 480 minutes after methadone administration. Plasma concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry, and appropriate compartmental models were fit to the plasma concentration-versus-time data. Cardiorespiratory variables were compared between treatments and over time with mixed-effect repeated-measures analysis.

RESULTS

A 3-compartment model best described the changes in plasma methadone concentration after IV or IM administration. Estimated typical values for volumes of distribution were 692 mL/kg for the central compartment and 2,439 and 2,293 mL/kg for the first and second peripheral compartments, respectively, with metabolic clearance of 23.3 mL/kg/min and first and second distributional clearances of 556.4 and 51.8 mL/kg/min, respectively. Typical bioavailability after IM administration was 79%. Elimination half-life was 177 minutes, and maximum plasma concentration after IM administration was 950 ng/mL. Heart rate was mildly decreased at most time points beginning 5 minutes after IV or IM drug administration.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Disposition of methadone in isoflurane-anesthetized chickens was characterized by a large volume of distribution and moderate clearance, with high bioavailability after IM administration. Additional studies are warranted to assess pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of methadone in awake chickens.

The analysis of occurrences on the level of lines, branches and divisions of the economy or the industry with respect to territorial units – which is referred to as the spatial structure – does not fully picture the complexity of present dependences occurring in the space. The object of my interest is the research of enterprises – organizations leading economic activity. The research stream of geography of enterprises (corporate geography), whose universally acknowledged precursor is Robert McNee, began to treat the enterprise as the active subject working in the space. The size and structure of an enterprise causes this space to be shaped, and not only limited to the used territory. Connections and interrelations of firms with the external environment: economic, technological, legal, political, cultural and natural, bear on the measurements and the spatial range of the enterprise. Determining the measures of an enterprise (the space shaped by it) and methods of their investigation are problems I have faced. In global economy, enterprises are surrounded by a wide circle of efficiently working firms, specialized, and realizing particular fragments of the created chain of value. Besides, value is not produced in a one-way chain, but within a number of multi-directional transactions between enterprises. Among them are basic activities (productive and commercial) connected with the physical creation of products (products and services), with their delivery, sale, and service, supporting the functioning of the enterprise infrastructure, supply, human resources and research and development works. Enterprises, in order to realize their own activities more efficiently, to a greater and greater degree are organized on the pattern of network organizations.  Industrial networks are created both by large enterprises and small and middle-sized firms. The idea of networking was developed in spatial-economic research by Tadeusz Stryjakowski, in his works in industrial geography. For the present paper, the author defines the notion of a network enterprise, characterizes its features, presents the types and makes an attempt at determining the measurements of such enterprises and suggests methods of measurement.
Unia Europejska, globalizacja i Polska
Authors: Niżnik Anna Małgorzta
Published: February 2021

International economic integration, or globalisation, has a long history, dating from the Medieval period; the establishment and later extension of the European Union is part of this process. It is argued that EU membership has brought undoubted advantages, such as support for agriculture and for regions of high unemployment, and the removal of tariffs against Polish goods, but the huge changes experienced by Poland date from the introduction of the market economy in 1989, not from EU membership. The market economy is synonymous with globalisation, which is so powerful that countries are forced to adapt to it, and make changes within this framework. There have been changes since 2004, the most important of which is mass emigration to the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain, but it is thought that this movement is only short-term, since most Poles intend to return to Poland, having accumulated capital. It is too soon to be able to establish the full impact of EU membership. It seems that a much longer period must be allowed to elapse before it is possible to assess the value of EU membership to Poland. But in any case, it is clear that Poland has become part of the globalisation and economic integration process – something that will be emphasised owing to membership of the EU.
Powiązania organizacyjne i właścicielskie przedsiębiorstw przemysłowych i usługowych w Polsce oraz ich znaczenie dla rozwoju regionalnego

The article presents a study concerning the development of the network of ownership linkages for the Polish enterprises operating in the industrial and services sector. The analysis covered 1,200 largest enterprises operating in Poland in 2005, and for the purpose of the study the comprehensive data concerning the shareholding structure of those business entities – including details such as ownership, property and geography – were collected. The research indicates that there is a concentration of economic control function in the higher levels of the settlement hierarchy, which results in maintaining or even deepening the monocentric structure of the entire system, thus strengthening the process of economic polarization. From the point of view of regional development viewed in the light of national context this is a negative process. However, a much more beneficial situation is developing in regard to choosing the location for the local branches of major enterprises, where it can be asserted that the arrangements in this respect are well harmonized with the existing demographic potential. This fact must be perceived as a factor alleviating the excess of economic control function that is evident in the capital city of Warsaw. Also, at the same time this is an element that enhances accessibility to the highly-specialized services, as well as organization of economic regional structures in accordance with the current administrative-territorial division.
