Processing of Information from Risk Maps in India and Germany: The Influence of Cognitive Reflection, Numeracy, and Experience
Authors: Berger Thomas , Hooge Ignace T. C. , Trivedi Pankaj
Published: November 2022

The use of risk maps is widespread and also mentioned in risk management standards. These visualizations display sets of risks by plotting each risk along two axes, representing the probability of occurrence and impact. Using an eye-tracking methodology, data on the cognitive processing of information from such risk maps were collected in order to examine why certain decisions are taken and what may influence their comprehension of this information. Data were collected from German and Indian participants. Those two countries are interesting for this study, as they differ greatly in several relevant domains like uncertainty avoidance or individualism. We found that individuals are generally able to perform a visual search task using a risk map but have more difficulty in making comparisons between two risks based on this type of visualization. The findings suggest that performance was related to cognitive reflection and that participants who reflected more on their decisions had a higher share of their fixations on target regions. In line with existing research, there seems to be evidence to support that cultural influences are at play when people work with risk maps, as Indians paid more attention to the context of the risk map’s target region. The influence of familiarity with working with risk maps was unclear, as there were some differences in eye movements visible but not for all variants.

In this article, we study the orbital dynamics with the gravitational potential of the asteroid 93 Minerva using an irregular shape model from observations. We calculate its physical size, physical mass, surface height, and zero-velocity surface. Meanwhile, we recognize that there are five equilibrium points around Minerva, four of which are external, and one is internal. Two of the external equilibrium points are stable and near the

-axis. In addition, we study the changes in the number, position, and topological case of the equilibrium points when changing the spin speed and the density. We calculate the gravitational force acceleration of the polyhedron model, and we back up our calculations by simulating the orbit of one moonlet under the gravitational force acceleration of Minerva. With the simulation result, we demonstrate the existence of stable orbits around Minerva.
Biomarkers in the management of lung cancer: changing the practice of thoracic oncology
Authors: Melichar Bohuslav
Published: November 2022

Lung cancer currently represents a leading cause of cancer death. Substantial progress achieved in the medical therapy of lung cancer during the last decade has been associated with the advent of targeted therapy, including immunotherapy. The targeted therapy has gradually shifted from drugs suppressing general mechanisms of tumor growth and progression to agents aiming at transforming mechanisms like driver mutations in a particular tumor. Knowledge of the molecular characteristics of a tumor has become an essential component of the more targeted therapeutic approach. There are specific challenges for biomarker determination in lung cancer, in particular a commonly limited size of tumor sample. Liquid biopsy is therefore of particular importance in the management of lung cancer. Laboratory medicine is an indispensable part of multidisciplinary management of lung cancer. Clinical
Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM) has played and will continue playing a major role in updating and spreading the knowledge in the field.

Published: November 2022

The modified orthogonal frame is an important tool to study analytic space curves whose curvatures have discrete zero points. In this article, by using the modified orthogonal frame, Mannheim curves and their partner curves are investigated in Minkowski 3-space. Some characterizations according to the curvatures and torsions of the curves are given. Finally, some relations under the conditions for Mannheim curves and their partner curves to be generalized helices are presented. All the possible cases for the partner curves to be spacelike and timelike are considered in the whole of the article.

Published: November 2022

In this paper an interesting alternative for recycling of Li-ion battery cathode and and improving the corrosion resistance of 430 stainless steel is presented. The spent cathode composition has molecular formula approximately LiCoO2. The cobalt electrodeposition onto 430 SS was performed using the cobalt bath obtained by spent LiCoO2 lixiviation. In air atmosphere and high temperatures the metallic cobalt is transformed into a Co3O4 layer that acts as protection against chromium volatilization. This was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning eletron microscopy measurements. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, in 0.5 M H2SO4 after thermal treatment at 600, 700 and 800 °C show that the cobalt electrodeposition is efficient in mitigating the effects of corrosion when 430 stainless steel is subjected to high temperatures.
Affix substitution in Indonesian: A computational modeling approach
Authors: Denistia Karlina , Baayen R. Harald
Published: November 2022

Indonesian has two noun-forming prefixes, PE- and PEN-, that often stand in a paradigmatic relation to verbal base words with the prefixes BER- and MEN-. The central question addressed in the present study is whether the form similarities between PEN- and MEN- make PEN- easier to learn compared to PE-. To address this question, we made use of a computational model, the ‘discriminative lexicon’ (DL) model. We trained this model on 2,517 word forms that were inflected or derived variants of 99 different base words. Of these word forms, 109 were nouns with PE- and 221 words were nouns with PEN-. Both the production and the comprehension networks of the model performed with high accuracy for both prefixes. However, the model was able to provide more precise predictions for PE- as compared to PEN-, implying that PE- should have a processing advantage compared to PEN-. There are two reasons for why PE- is learned more robustly than PEN-. First, PE- words tend to be longer and hence have more discriminative triphones. Second, due to cue competition with MEN-, the prefixal triphones of PEN- are less effective cues than those of PE-. A measure of functional load is proposed that helps clarify the relative importance of the triphones in the prefixes and those straddling the boundary between prefix and stem. Our results shed further light on the productivity paradox, role of junctural phonotactics, and (dis)functionality of affix substitution.

Emisiones de CO2 del sistema automotriz privado en los estados de la frontera norte de México: un ejercicio de valoración monetaria
Authors: Camarena Gómez Beatriz Olivia , Hernández Arias Pablo , Robles Parra Jesús Martin , Salazar Solano Vidal , León Balderrama Jorge Inés
Published: November 2022

El crecimiento urbano y demográfico presentado los últimos años por los estados de la frontera norte de México (EFNM) ha impactado sus respectivos sistemas de movilidad terrestre, su demanda de recursos energéticos y sus emisiones de carbono. En tal contexto, el objetivo del estudio es analizar el rendimiento ambiental del sistema privado de movilidad urbana (SPMU) en esta región, a través de valorar sus emisiones de carbono a la atmósfera, con base en una perspectiva eco integradora. Los resultados corroboraron la tendencia creciente del parque vehicular y del valor monetario de las emisiones, pero no una mayor demanda de energía ni un aumento de tales emisiones. Se concluye que la crisis mundial y el contexto macroeconómico nacional determinaron el rendimiento ambiental del SPMU más que factores endógenos. Se recomienda reforzar esta línea de investigación contemplando escenarios alternativos sustentables e integrando más variables al esquema de análisis.
Regulation of cGAS activity by RNA‐modulated phase separation
Authors: Chen Silian , Rong Miao , Lv Yun , Zhu Deyu , Xiang Ye
Published: November 2022

Cyclic GMP‐AMP synthase (cGAS) is a double‐stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensor that functions in the innate immune system. Upon binding dsDNA, cGAS and dsDNA form phase‐separated condensates in which cGAS catalyzes the synthesis of 2′3′‐cyclic GMP‐AMP that subsequently triggers a STING‐dependent, type I interferon (IFN‐I) response. Here, we show that cytoplasmic RNAs regulate cGAS activity. We discover that RNAs do not activate cGAS but rather promote phase separation of cGAS in vitro. In cells, cGAS colocalizes with RNA and forms complexes with RNA. In the presence of cytoplasmic dsDNA, RNAs colocalize with phase‐separated condensates of cGAS and dsDNA. Further in vitro assays showed that RNAs promote the formation of cGAS‐containing phase separations and enhance cGAS activity when the dsDNA concentration is low. Cotransfection of RNA with a small amount of dsDNA into THP1 cells significantly enhances the production of the downstream signaling molecule interferon beta (IFNB). This enhancement can be blocked by a cGAS‐specific inhibitor. Thus, cytoplasmic RNAs could regulate cGAS activity by modulating the formation of cGAS‐containing condensates.
Confounding effects of liquorice, hydrocortisone, and blood contamination on salivary cortisol but not cortisone
Authors: Imamovic Marcus , Bäcklund Nils , Lundstedt Staffan , Brattsand Göran , Aardal Elisabeth , Olsson Tommy , Dahlqvist Per
Published: November 2022

Objective

To determine the effects of liquorice consumption, topical hydrocortisone, and blood contamination on salivary cortisol and cortisone concentrations.

Design and methods

Thirty healthy volunteers were randomized to a low, medium, or high dose of liquorice. Late-night saliva samples were collected using a Salivette® collection device at baseline, during 1 week of daily liquorice consumption, and during 4 weeks' washout. Saliva sampling was also performed before and after the application of topical hydrocortisone on the skin. Furthermore, in a subgroup (n  = 16), saliva and venous blood were collected from each individual and mixed to achieve graded blood contamination in saliva. Salivary cortisol and cortisone were analyzed with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Results

Significant increases in salivary cortisol concentrations were observed during medium- (+49%) and high-dose (+97%) liquorice intake, which returned to baseline 4 days after liquorice withdrawal. Topical hydrocortisone on fingers holding the collection swab increased salivary cortisol concentrations >1000-fold with concomitant pronounced elevation of the cortisol:cortisone ratio. Salivary cortisol increased significantly after contamination with blood ≥0.5%. Visual examination could safely detect these samples. Salivary cortisone concentrations were unaffected by liquorice consumption and blood contamination, and only marginally affected by topical hydrocortisone.

Conclusion

Liquorice, topical hydrocortisone, and blood contamination may all cause elevated salivary cortisol concentrations. Improved sampling instructions and visual examination of the sample may minimize these risks. Salivary cortisone is essentially unaffected by the different preanalytical confounders and may be used as a first-line screening test for Cushing's syndrome.
Development of a Bioplastic from Banana Peel
Authors: Alcivar-Gavilanes Maura Gabriela , Carrillo-Anchundia Katiuska Lisette , Riera María Antonieta
Published: November 2022

The problems caused by synthetic plastics have motivated the use of other materials. This research consisted of taking advantage of the banana peel and cellulose from the pseudostem of this plant to obtain a bioplastic. Dry milling was applied to extract the flour and an acid-alkaline treatment for the cellulose. The elaboration of the thermoplastic material did with a mixture design where fixed amounts of shell flour (5 g), 15% NaOH (5 mL), and water (4 mL), varying the concentrations of the plasticizers, which were glycerol and sorbitol. In two of the formulations, was added as filler 0,5 g of cellulose. The bioplastic obtained was characterized according to its thickness, water vapor permeability (WVP), tension force (TF), break time (bt), and biodegradability. The type of plasticizer and the cellulose content did not affect the thickness of the bioplastic, but it did affect the WVP, TF, and bt. WVP decreases when glycerin is used and increases with the addition of cellulose. The best result for WVP was 1,83 x 10-9 g/Pa.s.m in the formulation where only was used glycerol, while the best values for TF, bt, and biodegradability were 2,4 MPa, 17 seconds, and 37,77%, respectively, with 75% sorbitol and 25% glycerol. Expanding the study of the best formulations would allow their use as a replacement for synthetic plastics.
Aceleración tecnológica e inteligencia artificial. ¿Hasta dónde podríamos cambiar?

Published: November 2022

¿Cuán rápido nos estamos moviendo en el siglo xxi? ¿qué tan rápido nos movimos en el pasado? ¿cómo podemos captar con alguna objetividad la aceleración tecnológica que, por supuesto, termina impactando cada dimensión de la vida social? ¿hasta dónde podemos proyectar con fundamentos razonables el desarrollo de la inteligencia artificial impulsada por la aceleración tecnológica? En este trabajo ensayaremos algunas respuestas a estas preguntas apoyándonos en la reflexión de tres reconocidos especialistas como Nick Bostrom, Max Tegmark y Ray Kurzweil, quienes provienen de campos disciplinarios diversos como la filosofía, la física y el futurismo. Es cierto, todos parece que sentimos esa aceleración de la vida en paralelo con la velocidad de la tecnología, pero ¿cuán rápido vamos? ¿cómo podemos compararnos con el pasado? ¿cuándo empieza ese vértigo? y, más interesante aún, ¿hasta dónde puede llegar esa aceleración? Para responder estas preguntas seguimos el método tradicional, dialogamos con expertos que han hecho de ellas su objeto de estudio. Es por eso por lo que en este trabajo construimos un análisis interdisciplinario con un físico, un filósofo y un inventor, tres reconocidos pensadores que expanden los horizontes convencionales y nos ayudan a intuir ese futuro singular en ciernes, tan impredecible en sus formas y figuras concretas, como predecible en su proyección por las tendencias de la aceleración tecnológica. Piense el lector que el dispositivo móvil ahora en su bolsillo para comunicarse tiene un millón de veces más memoria y es cien mil veces más rápido que la computadora que nos puso en la luna. Y esta es la tendencia de la exponencialidad de la evolución de las tecnologías de la información, que se duplican en capacidad cada un año y ocho meses desde hace un siglo. ¿Qué tecnología llevarán sus hijos en los bolsillos, o más bien implantada en sus cuerpos, dentro de cincuenta años?

Entrevistas con niños: algunos apuntes para la evaluación e intervención
Authors:   Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia, González Clemente Emily Carolina
Published: November 2022

La entrevista es el instrumento fundamental de todo psicólogo clínico. Su uso permite entender las características de la problemática y orienta el diagnóstico y las decisiones asociadas al trabajo que se realiza con el paciente. Con los niños, especialmente, toda entrevista tiene la particularidad de ser realizada a una persona que presenta limitaciones para comunicarse, lo cual, en la mayoría de los casos (salvo en síntomas asociados al lenguaje) se consideran normales y asociadas al momento evolutivo en el que se encuentran. A pesar de ser esperable, esta limitación dificulta la expresión de los síntomas y padecimientos que motivan la asistencia al psicólogo. Partiendo de estas vicisitudes, en esta nota de clase los estudiantes del curso Optativa I: Técnicas de Entrevistas y los practicantes de Psicología Clínica, en especial, encontrarán determinadas orientaciones para llevar a cabo las entrevistas con niños, lo cual facilitará el proceso de evaluación e intervención. En un primer apartado, haremos una revisión inicial, guiados por la pregunta ¿qué es un niño?, a la luz de diversas posturas que confluyen en la actualidad. Seguidamente, se describirán las técnicas que pueden ayudarnos en la realización de entrevistas con niños y con sus padres quienes, además de ser los informantes claves para el proceso, también tienen sus dificultades, temores y dudas. Por último, se detallan los elementos de la historia clínica infantil, así como los aspectos clave para la elaboración de informes de tipo psicológico.
LA DESNATURALIZACIÓN DE LA ZONA SAR EN EL MEDITERRÁNEO CENTRAL: DE PIEZA CLAVE PARA SALVAR VIDAS A INSTRUMENTO CONTRA LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS
Authors: Jiménez Cortés Claudia
Published: November 2022

En diciembre de 2017 Libia registró en la Organización Marítima Internacional una zona de salvamento y rescate (zona SAR), pensada, diseñada y financiada por la Unión Europea y sus Estados miembros. A partir de entonces, los guardacostas libios han pasado a coordinar casi en exclusiva todas las operaciones de salvamento de la ruta migratoria del Mediterráneo central, hoy por hoy una de las más letales del mundo. El presente trabajo cuestiona la validez de dicha zona tanto por la incapacidad material de la guardia costera libia para desarrollar la función de salvamento en su zona SAR, como por la imposibilidad de poder considerar a aquel Estado como «puerto seguro». Su creación y funcionamiento, de hecho, no son sino un reflejo más de la política de externalización de fronteras de la UE que, en este caso, tiene como consecuencia añadida la desvirtuación de un principio tan esencial y antiguo como es el deber de socorro en el mar, cuya única finalidad debería ser «salvar vidas».

En esta publicación se examina y valora lo que causa el deterioro de la capa de ozono, los impactos que este genera, el sistema convencional de aplicación, que se ha ido pactando a medida que han progresado los avances científico-técnicos, destacándose en él el Convenio de Viena de 22 de marzo de 1985 y el Protocolo de Montreal de 16 de septiembre de 1987 junto con sus principales ajustes y enmiendas (Londres, junio de 1990; Copenhague, noviembre de 1992; Viena, diciembre de 1995; Montreal, septiembre de 1997; Beijing, noviembre- diciembre de 1999; Montreal, septiembre de 2007; Kigali, octubre de 2016; Quito, noviembre de 2018), así como un conjunto de normas del Derecho de la Unión Europea y del Derecho español que lo complementan y lo perfeccionan. De todo este conjunto normativo se evalúan sus objetivos, sus obligaciones, sus efectos, su aplicación práctica y su eficacia, su interacción con el cambio climático, haciéndose algunas propuestas de mejora. Ahora bien, debido, entre otras cosas, a las incertidumbres existentes, no parece muy cercana la resolución del deterioro de la capa de ozono.

Contact Zone Mercadillo: Roma and Public Space in Valladolid (Spain)
Authors: Dallmann Janna
Published: November 2022

The research presented here evolves around the Mercadillo Gitano in Valladolid (España). The article is a short version of the author’s master thesis with the same title, written and graded in 2017. Its aims were the elaboration of a perspective that could focus on the every-day construction of social difference on the one hand and the application of this perspective to a specific site on the other hand. Therefore, ideas from the so-called Spatial Turn and particularly Mary Louise Pratt’s concept Contact Zone were taken to the Mercadillo Gitano in Valladolid. Data was gathered through participant observation, interviewing and an archival research. In a first step, the emergence and institutionalization of this Contact Zone as part of the city’s public space was investigated from a production of space perspective. This allowed for making roles and interests of diverging actors transparent. In a second step, a microanalysis concerning interaction (contact) and the actual sites (zone) complemented the reflection on the everyday (re)production of social differences. The emerging perspective allowed for rendering boundary-making in Mercadillo Gitano theoretically and empirically graspable and thus broadened the possibilities of “speaking about” the city’s minority of Roma.
Оn the implementation of a transdisciplinary approach in preparing future mathematics teachers
Authors: Кalinin S. I. , Pankratova L. V.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. The disparate study of certain areas and branches of knowledge, characteristic of the disciplinary approach, has largely lost its position, recognising the inevitability of interdisciplinary cooperation. At present, interdisciplinarity is already being comprehended at a new level, creating the prerequisites for the introduction of a transdisciplinary approach to solving complex problems, including in the educational sphere.Aim. The current research aims to present the transdisciplinary teaching means, which are relevant in the process of training future teachers of mathematics, and which are identified on the basis of an analysis of the content of education.Methodology and research methods. General scientific and empirical methods were used to develop the ideological basis of the study. The aforementioned methods allowed the authors to draw up a complete picture of the problem under study, to identify its patterns and trends, to understand the essence. The search and selection of mathematics subject content with transdisciplinary properties was based on a systematic and interdisciplinary approach. At the stage of testing the research hypothesis, the competency-based approach was decisive, and tactical tasks were solved by referring to the activity approach. In addition, the main provisions of the concepts of humanisation and humanitarisation of education, as well as the principles of fundamentalisation of mathematical education, were taken into account.Results and theoretical significance. The expediency of using inequalities and convex functions in the training of future mathematics teachers in the context of a transdisciplinary approach is substantiated. A phased description of the work carried out allows us to trace the methods of reflecting the modern scientific content of the relevant topics, conditions, means and expected results of pedagogical interaction. The theory and methods of teaching mathematics at the university are enriched with a qualitatively new vision of the educational potential of the concepts of inequality and a convex function.Practical significance. The introduction of inequalities and convex functions in the process of future mathematics teachers training at Vyatka State University made it possible to demonstrate the possibilities of a transdisciplinary approach in the development of students’ worldview and the formation of professionally significant students’ competencies. The presented means of implementing the transdisciplinary approach can also be comprehended in teaching students of other areas of training.
Hardiness and psychological safety of a teacher in an educational environment
Authors: Shmeleva E. A. , Kislyakov P. A. , Kolchugina N. I. , Phan T. K.
Published: November 2022

Introduction. In the conditions of emerging psychological threats and risks of the educational environment, the development and formation of the hardiness of a teacher as one of the participants in educational relations becomes relevant. The study of professional hardiness in the system of psychological safety of a teacher and the justification of the means of its support are of particular relevance.Aim. The aim of the study was to identify the characteristics of the hardiness and psychological safety of teachers in the educational environment of the school.Methodology and research methods. The provisions on the social environment as a source of development, the provisions of resource and risk-resource approaches in psychology, theoretical and empirical approaches to the psychological safety of the educational environment were used as subject-scientific guidelines. Psychodiagnostic methods were used: “Psychological Safety of the Educational Environment of the School” (I. A. Baeva), “Hardiness Test” (by S. Maddi, Russian-language adaptation of D. A. Leontiev, E. I. Rasskazova), “The Index of Well-Being” (WHO-5) (Well-Being Index, WHO). The data obtained were processed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis (principal component method, Varimax rotation), correlation and regression analysis.Results and scientific novelty. The conducted research allowed authors to identify four factors of subjectively significant psychological threats to the teacher in the educational environment (social nature, intensity of work, interpersonal relations and digitalisation of education). The authors revealed direct interrelations of the teacher’s satisfaction with the significant characteristics of the educational environment, its reference significance, psychological security with well-being and hardiness; inverse relationships between threats of a public nature and the teacher’s well-being, resilience, psychological safety and reference significance. It was established that the main predictors of the teacher’s hardiness in the educational environment were its reference and subjectively significant threats of a public nature for the teacher.Practical significance. The identified factors of the threats, psychological predictors of hardiness allow us to outline approaches to the development and implementation of psychological and pedagogical programmes to support the hardiness of a teacher, as well as to the introduction into teacher training programmes of methods for teaching interpersonal communication skills, stress management and burnout prevention, contributing to teacher hardiness.

This exploratory research survey design investigates the talent shortage in the workers' compensation industry and focuses on talent attraction and retention strategies. This research allows the reader to evaluate their own talent attraction and retention strategies and ensure they align with essential factors for college students and claims professionals today. Participants (n=432) in the college student study were random students enrolled in any college or university in the United States. The data was collected using a survey, and the survey was posted on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Survey Monkey. Participants (n=140) for this study were also random claims professionals in the United States. The data was collected using a survey, and the survey was posted on Facebook and LinkedIn. Links to these surveys were also embedded on the site ElevateTheAdjuster.org at https://www.elevatetheadjuster.org and incorporated in two email campaigns which were distributed to current industry professionals. Four research questions were created to guide the investigation of talent attraction and retention strategies. The key findings show college students view brand awareness as an important factor in evaluating a company's culture when seeking employment opportunities. College students also view the company through the eyes of a consumer to understand a company's culture, especially with regard to Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity & Inclusion initiatives. In addition, nearly every participant said they view a company's website to help them secure a better understanding. Claims professionals value the importance of a formal onboarding program which teaches them how to set up and manage a workers' compensation claims from the time of first report to claim closure. Claims professionals feel professional development programs increase their loyalty toward their employer. When combined, most claims professionals felt formal onboarding and professional development programs impacted their tenure, staying with their respective employer longer. At the conclusion of this study, the researcher made several key recommendations. First, the workers' compensation industry must learn to attract and retain talent because staffing shortages impact claim outcomes and many stakeholders. Second, attracting new talent to the workers' compensation industry involves brand awareness, the proper portrayal of corporate culture, and highlights to Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity & Inclusion initiatives. Third, workers' compensation claims professionals have a unique set of employee-retention strategies which should include formal onboarding and professional development programs. Lastly, the workers' compensation industry should develop or grow their partnerships with schools or organizations who offer risk and insurance training and/or degrees, search for talent in less traditional talent pools, share data, and provide additional research to better understand how to attract and retain claims professionals.
Whitman y César Vallejo: Confluencias frente a un desenlace de la utopía americana
Authors: Jumpa Sánchez César E.
Published: November 2022

El presente estudio explorará las variadas correspondencias mientras se compara y contrasta la fluidez del verso whitmaniano en su colección Hojas de Hierba (1855) —lo que conduce a la sección Redobles de Tambor (1865), basada en la guerra civil —con los poemas póstumos de César Vallejo; concentrándonos en su colección España, aparta de mi éste cáliz (1939), visto desde el filtro cronológico del simbolismo propiciado por Mallarmé, del cual sus motivos fueron sucintamente apropiados por el vate peruano para desplegar su poética de la “tachadura”, como lo sugiere el investigador Julio Ortega. Un trasfondo de reportaje político presentado por ambos escritores, Whitman y Vallejo, pondrá énfasis a su conexión a través de la militancia en las guerras civiles respectivas, puesto que esta etapa será considerada para resaltar la invariable admiración que el poeta de los Andes mantuvo por su homólogo norteamericano.

Authors: Vela Meléndez Lindon , Gonzales Cruz Kathy Amalia , Castillo Seminario Lucinda Esperanza
Published: November 2022

Con base en la bibliometría y la revisión analítica de la literatura, se ha desarrollado una revisión del estado del arte del fenómeno de la brecha salarial de género. Primero se ha preparado un argumento de búsqueda de palabras claves en Scopus, con lo que se han elaborado las estadísticas de publicaciones tales como: evolución en el tiempo, tipos de publicación, área del conocimiento y países; luego mediante el uso de ATLAS.ti se ha procedido a realizar la lectura analítica de los aportes teóricos, metodológicos y tendencias en el abordaje del fenómeno. Se concluye que según la base de datos de Scopus el tema es tratado desde el año 1993, pero desde el año 2002 ha existido mayor interés por los investigadores, las publicaciones fundamentalmente se realizan como artículos originales, capítulos de libros y revisiones, los mismos que son abordados desde las ciencias sociales, administrativas y económicas y se desataca el interés de ciencias médicas en los últimos años. En la explicación del fenómeno coexisten visiones clásicas ortodoxas que se respaldan en la teoría de las preferencias y el individualismo y una visión heterodoxa del aprovisionamiento social que analiza la institucionalidad que mantienen las diferencias salariales y considera que la brecha salarial no es un fenómeno natural y, por lo tanto, debe ser examinado dentro de un contexto social e histórico específico. Finalmente, respecto a los factores que explican estadísticamente la existencia de la brecha salarial, existe convergencia de varios autores en la valoración de aportes Oaxaca - Blinder y Reimers, así como también de Neumark, la descomposición de Jhun y una técnica de amplio uso en la descomposición estadística es la regresión cuantílica.

Published: November 2022

Asian Indian Immigrant Parents (AIIP) of adolescents are encountering high levels of acculturation and enculturation experiences that are adding complexity to their parenting styles while raising teenagers. Having a different background embedded within collectivistic cultures versus the enculturating experiences of their teenagers being raised in the United States with individualistic cultures is forming a barrier. The purpose of this research was to explore those challenges with cultural barriers of AIIP who struggle to raise their adolescents in the United States. This qualitative research utilized a phenomenological design to explore the in-depth lived experiences of five AIIP from a large Mid-southern city in the US who are navigating acculturation, enculturation, and parenting with their adolescent children. The AIIP participated in 60-90 minutes, semi-structured interviews virtually, using Zoom due to the global pandemic. The interview transcripts were thematically analyzed through phenomenology using four levels of analysis and interrater reliability with two raters which provided a process that allowed for identifying complexities in their experiences. The preliminary finding shows that the AIIP struggled with anxiety, frustration, and fear during their navigation of parenting in an entirely different culture from the culture they were raised in.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought tremendous change to everyone's lifestyle as well as the social, political, and economic landscape. This novel global health crisis has challenged every state's healthcare system regardless of being a highly developed, newly developed, or developing economy. The southeast Asian region has been one of the heavily hit regions in the world because of its proximity to China, where the virus originated and the vulnerability of their lesser developed healthcare systems. However, despite these challenges to public health governance, these South East Asian countries were able to come up with innovative, inclusive, and effective public health policies, programs, and strategies to address the pandemic. Using the Global Health Governance theory, the study looked into four (4) thematic areas: Actions of the Government, Actions of the Private Sector, Criticisms of the People, and the Effects on the Economy to further gauge the landscape of the effects of the pandemic to the region. The researcher concluded from these responses to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and their continuing efforts to balance public health and socio-economic development agenda.
