El control político de la información periodística
Authors: Casero Ripollés Andreu
Published: June 2022

La información periodística se configura en las sociedades actuales como un recurso estratégico fundamental por diversos motivos: su competencia para definir la realidad, su capacidad cognitiva y simbólica que le permite moldear los significados sociales, su indiscutible competencia para estructurar la visibilidad pública y su potencial para articular la agenda pública, entre otros aspectos sustantivos. En definitiva, la información periodística se alza como un elemento dotado de poder simbólico. Por ello, su control se ha convertido en una prioridad para los actores políticos en su afán por estructurar la esfera pública conforme a sus intereses y objetivos. No obstante, esta subordinación se ha vuelto cada vez más difícil, debido a la creciente autonomía alcanzada por el sistema mediático. Partiendo de este escenario, marcado por la mediatización de la política, este artículo plantea el análisis de las diferentes modalidades que, en el contexto actual, el sistema político activa para controlar la información periodística, especialmente aquella vinculada al medio televisivo. Entre éstas, podemos destacar cuatro grandes fórmulas: la adopción de la lógica televisiva, la política de alianzas, la tutela de las noticias durante la campaña electoral y la apelación al público o Going Public. Junto a la descripción detallada de cada una de ellas, se analizan diversas manifestaciones empíricas. Finalmente, el trabajo también ofrece un acercamiento a los tipos de reacción que el sistema mediático plantea ante los intentos de control por parte de los sujetos políticos en un contexto marcado por la fuerte mercantilización del universo comunicativo. La metodología se basa en la combinación de los marcos teóricos procedentes de la comunicación política y la economía política de la comunicación. En este sentido, se parte de un enfoque interactivo, que entiende la relación entre el sistema político y el sistema mediático como un intercambio constante.

Background: Early intensive care unit (ICU) protocolized rehabilitative programs have been described previously, yet with differing starting time points and mostly on mechanically ventilated patients. We extended the concept to all admitted ICU patients and investigate the efficacy of early mobilization in improving mobility of the critically ill, address issues surrounding the timing and intensity of an early rehabilitative program.Methods: Prospective cohorts of patients admitted consecutively before-and-after (control, n=92; intervention, n=90) the introduction of an early mobilization program in a single center, general hospital ICU. Improvement in mobility as assessed by ICU mobility score, on ICU admission and upon ICU discharge, was measured as a primary outcome.Results: Those receiving early mobilization in the intensive care unit had higher ICU mobility score (2.63; 95% confidence interval, 0.65–4.61; P<0.001) upon discharge from the intensive care, with earlier out of bed mobilization on day 5 compared to the control group of day 21 (P<0.001). No differences were found in terms of mortality, intensive care hospitalization and subsequent hospitalization duration after discharge from ICU.Conclusions: Here, we report that improvement in mobility score earlier in the course of intensive care hospitalization with the introduction of a protocolized early rehabilitative program.

The study assessed the causes, effects as well as providing strategies for reducing deforestation in Mashegu Local Government Area, Niger State, Nigeria. Simple random sampling technique was employed in the study; 5 wards out of the 10 available in the Local Government Area were randomly selected. A total of 150 copies of questionnaire were randomly administered with 30 respondents selected in each ward. Out of the 150 respondents, 16 respondents were discountenanced, leaving a total of 134 sampled respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages while tables and chart were used to present the results. The results revealed that majority (71%) of the respondents were males, while the rest were females. Majority of the respondents were between the productive ages of 30-49 years representing 72% while age 50 and above accounted for only 11%. In terms of education, 86% of the respondents attained both primary and secondary school education while 4% had no formal education. Farming (31%) is the major cause of deforestation in the study area while mining recorded only 1%. The major effect of deforestation in the study area is soil erosion (29%), closely followed by high temperature (19%) and other environmental hazards accounted for only 2%. The best strategy for reducing deforestation in the study area as suggested by the respondents is through afforestation and reforestation with a response of 48%. The study would enable forestry policy makers, other stakeholders and even farmers in the study area to be better informed about the implications of deforestation and seek innovative means and ways to combat its menace.

Published: June 2022

Sustainable production of Garcinia kola can be achieved through the establishment of its plantation with the right silvicultural requirements. The growth response of Garcinia kola (Heckel) plant under a Tectona grandis L. plantation and open field was studied for three years. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) involving three replicates per treatment. The treatments were shade from Tectona grandis (Teak) and control (open field without shade where fresh clear-felling/harvesting of Tectona grandis (Teak) has just been carried out). Measurement of treatment effects on growth of Garcinia kola commenced six months after planting and was repeated at six-month intervals, while soil temperature was measured at two week intervals. Significantly (P ≤ 0.05) higher differences were observed after the first year in height, collar diameter, and crown width on the shaded plant. The soil temperature for the shaded field was significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lower than the control field. Hence it is recommended that sustainable production of Garcinia kola through plantation establishment should be done under the shade of older trees.
The Anatomy of Ghanaian Domestic Military Operations: Exploring Operations Vanguard and Calm Life
Authors: Edu-Afful Fiifi
Published: June 2022

This article focuses on the under-researched and under-discussed domestic security implications in Ghana of military participation in international peacekeeping operations. While there is appreciable awareness and knowledge of the role of peacekeepers in reducing conflict in host countries, very little attention is given to their actions when they return home. The money, training and combat experience emanating from peacekeeping are likely to have considerable institutional, policy, operational (tactics, techniques and procedures) and political consequences in their home countries. In Ghana, especially, peacekeeping training and combat experience provide tools that can be used for internal security interventions. Increasingly, there has been a change in policy in Ghana where the military is involved in several local security operations. This policy shift has seen the creation of a number of joint internal operations involving the military and the police. Based on fieldwork in Ghana, the article explores two major internal operations: Operation Calm Life (to combat armed robbery) and Operation Vanguard (to combat illegal mining). The study shows how diverse dimensions of experience from peacekeeping have practical implications for shaping domestic security provision.
Domestic Peacekeeping Practices in the Tamale Metropolis
Authors: Abdallah Mustapha , Aning Kwesi
Published: June 2022

This article contributes to understanding local security practices in urban Africa by examining links between international peacekeeping and local policing in Tamale, the capital of Ghana’s Northern Region. It uses the concept of assemblage to suggest that while experiences, skills and lessons gained from consistent engagement in United Nations peacekeeping may be detected in local policing in Tamale, their effects on everyday policing are in practice limited. This is due to the central role of traditional authorities in local security and general political interference in police matters. Local policing in Tamale is an assemblage of formal (police and military) and informal (chiefs and community leaders) security arrangements, with the latter, especially, dictating how crimes should be dealt with. This makes it next to impossible for the police to do their job without interference. The article examines how non-state or traditional actors shape policing and security provision in Tamale, and what space is available for police officers to use the skills they believe they have learned in peacekeeping missions. The paper shows through empirical analysis how local policing is shaped more by kinship and politics than international principles of human rights and democracy.
The Gender Dimensions of Resource Conflicts in Ghana: Deconstructing the Male-Centric and Binary Outlook of Communal Conflicts
Authors: Atobrah Deborah , Kwansa Benjamin , Tsikata Dzodzi
Published: June 2022

The literature on gender and conflicts in Africa is dominated by essentialised and narrow male-centric constructions of conflict and stereotypes of female victimhood which obscure alternative female-centric ideation and experiences on conflict and conflict resolution. Using interdisciplinary methodologies, and drawing in insights from anthropology and history, this article explores the nature of women’s constructions of and participation in community conflicts and what drives their participation. We do this by investigating the gendered nature of community conflicts and conflict resolution in eight communities that are experiencing conflict over chieftaincy, land use and resources. We show that issues that are of concern for women – for example disputes over water use or witchcraft accusations – are largely relegated to the background. Moreover, women are excluded from most aspects of conflict and conflict resolution, at both the local and state level. We argue for a re-examination of the normative gendered constructions of conflict in Ghana to include female-centric ideas of conflict and conflict resolution.

Published: June 2022

Polyherbal formulations improve therapeutic action while lowering single herb concentration, thereby reducing possible side reactions. Proximate composition and functional properties of tomato, garlic, and carrot formulations were studied. Fresh samples of the botanicals were collected, identified and authenticated. Equal amount of each sample (500 g) was weighed, shed-dried and crushed into fine powdered particles. The proximate composition and functional properties of each formulation were determined according to a standard assay guideline. The result on proximate composition analysis revealed a significant (p ˂ 0.05) higher moisture content of tomato and carrot formulations when compared to other formulations. The content of ash and crude protein were significantly (p ˂ 0.05) higher in all garlic containing formulations. The garlic formulation was observed to have lower fat content and greater carbohydrate content than all other formulations (p˂ 0.05). However, when compared to single formulations, all mixed formulations had significantly higher crude fiber content. Furthermore, there was a significant (p ˂ 0.05) variation in glucose adsorption capacity, oil adsorption capacity and water adsorption capacity among all the formulations. The outcome of this study have led us to conclude that employing safe combinations of these herbal formulations for the production of nutraceuticals is recommended.

Published: June 2022

A total of thirty eight (38) Vertical Electrical resistivity Sounding (VES) were used to characterize aquifers in Boi and its environs, Bogoro Area of Bauchi State, Northeastern, Nigeria. The purpose of the study is to characterize the aquifer system in the area using Schlumberger configuration. Because there are multiple failed wells and boreholes in the vicinity, the research is justified. A total of 38 vertical electrical sounding (VES) were carried out, with a maximum electrode spacing of 100 m. The sounding curves acquired were three layer earth models, and the curve types were H, Q, A, and K respectively. The following lithologies were discovered in the area: topsoil with a resistivity of 81ῼm to 264.21ῼm and a thickness of 0.56m to 3.77m, laterite with a resistivity of 526.43ῼm to 999.71ῼm and a thickness of 1.93m to 3.47m, weathered/fracture basement with a resistivity of 10.62ῼm to 238ῼm and a thickness of 2m to infinite depth, and the fresh basement with a resistivity of 1000.33ῼm to 1821ῼm. The longitudinal conductance (S), transverse resistance (T), reflection coefficient (RC), and resistivity contrast (FC) were used to assess the area's groundwater potentials. The area's aquifer protection capacity found to be moderate, weak, and poor, while the groundwater potentials categorized as high, medium, low and very low. According to the results of the evaluated parameters, the area has a predominantly good to moderate groundwater potential. The numerous occurrences of failed/aborted boreholes in the area could be linked to a variety of factors, including poor data quality, lack of technical know-how, incorrect point selection, and poor drilled hole development, all of which are common in Basement Complex terrains. The VES 5 and 10 results showed a dramatic decline in resistivity, indicating that the water likely heavily polluted, particularly by anthropogenic chemicals, or that it was an ancient dumpsite.

Published: June 2022

Surface waters such as flowing rivers, fresh water lakes and hand dug wells are the major sources of water for most rural dwellers in Nigeria. These are often consumed without testing their potability. This study was conducted to assess the bacteriological quality of surface water sampled from five (5) sampling locations on Ogbese river in Ogbese and Olumoye towns, Ovia North East Local Government Area, Edo State. Water samples were collected in duplicates from the sampling locations during the months of June 2018 to February 2019. Bacteriological analysis of the water samples was conducted using the membrane filtration technique and isolates identified by standard cultural and genomic procedures. Disc diffusion technique was utilized to determine the antibiotic sensitivity profiles of the identified bacteria. Other microbiological analysis which comprised of screening for enterotoxin production, invasiveness, hemolysin production and serum resistance, which are all virulence factors were performed using relevant methods. The total heterotrophic bacterial count varied from 1.0 ± 32.0 ×104𝑐𝑓𝑢/𝑚𝑙 and 1.0 ±0.12 ×104𝑐𝑓𝑢/𝑚𝑙 to 9.7 ± 2.23 ×104𝑐𝑓𝑢/𝑚𝑙. The total coliform count ranged from 0.1 ± 0.02 ×102𝑐𝑓𝑢/𝑚𝑙 to 5.5 ± 0.05 ×102𝑐𝑓𝑢/𝑚𝑙. The observed differences between the mean heterotrophic bacterial and coliform counts recorded for Ogbese and Olumoye sampling points was significant (P< 0.05). The identified bacterial isolates included; Escherichia coli, Enterobacter cloacae, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella enterica, Vibrio cholerae, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Both E. coli (60.0%) and E. cloacae (60.0%) were the most frequently isolated water borne isolates cultured from Ogbese sampling point. All E. coli and S. enterica isolates exhibited sensitivity towards ciprofloxacin and streptomycin. All S. flexneri isolates were invasive and serum resistant. There is an urgent need by relevant Governmental and Non –Governmental agencies to conduct advocacy programs targeted at these communities on the necessity of treating and disinfecting abstracted water sourced directly from the water body prior to drinking.

Published: June 2022

Lack of monitoring residential homes for fungi contamination, has reportedly resulted in various health outcomes in vulnerable occupants. This study assessed the level of indoor and outdoor airborne fungi contamination and reveal the identity of air borne fungi species in the study area. Forty-five households were randomly selected across the five local council areas in Benin city for airborne sampling. Airborne fungi were assessed bimonthly using the passive sampling technique. Discrete colonies of fungi were enumerated and mean values of triplicate concentrations were expressed in Colony forming unit / m3 (CFU/m3) Airborne fungi isolates were characterized and identified using standard procedures. The mean indoor and outdoor meteorological parameters ranged between 31.2 to 32.3°C and 31.1 to 32.5°C (Temperature); 71.6 to 74.1% and 63.0 to 74.1% (Relative humidity) respectively. The fungi concentrations varied from 301.0 to 747.1 CFU/m3 and 337.67 to 554.6 CFU/m3 (indoor); 223.8 to 450.4 CFU/m3 and 378.64 to 532.7 CFU/m3 (outdoor) in wet and dry seasons. The prevalent fungi genera isolated from the indoor and outdoor air across the sampling sites were Penicillium, Cladosporium, and Aspergillus. The outdoor fungi concentrations showed a significant association (R = 0.360 and 0.260; R2 = 0.130 and 0.032; p< 0.01) with indoor fungi concentrations in both seasons. The study revealed high airborne fungi counts and fungi species of public health interest in the houses. Regular cleaning and maintenance practices to reduce the increasing effect of fungi spores is highly recommended.

Published: June 2022

Illegitimate artisanal gold mining quite often results in elevated lead (Pb) concentrations in mining and residential areas close to ore mining sites, which exposes the communities to varying degrees of health and environmental challenges.Here,mining and residential soils from Abare, Dareta and Bagega, Anka local government,Zamfara state's exposed communities, were examined for total Pb concentration.Three replicates of soil from four different soil fields in mining and residential areas were carefully selected for sampling from the surface layer 0 to 21 cm.All thesoil samples were digested and analysed using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (Varian model-AA240FS). The total Pb concentration in the mining areas ranges from 466.01-729.13 mg/kg (Abare), 151.34-168.21 mg/kg (Bagega) and 108.89-258.88 mg/kg (Dareta), while those from the residential areas ranges from 326.28-391.38mg/kg (Abare), 67.74-79.44 mg/kg (Bagega) and 17.58-43.40mg/kg (Dareta).This study revealed that the Pb concentration in all mining areas exceeded the standard ofthe department of petroleum resources of Nigeria's 85 mg/kg threshold (DPR).According to the study, the only residential communities with Pb concentrations above the DPR threshold are those in Abare.Based on the computed degree of contamination indices in those areas using the single pollution index (SPI) and Nemerow composite pollution index (NCPI), the study revealed the residential sites are within the safety limit, whereas the mining sites are slightly contaminated. Nevertheless, more studies are needed to determine the Pb speciation in those areas.

Published: June 2022

Prompt diagnosis and treatment of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) with the correct administration of intravenous (i.v.) fluids, fixed rate insulin infusion (FRII) and guideline-based K+ replacement are essential for optimum outcomes. However, treatment guidelines may need to be adapted in special situations such as pregnancy, end stage renal disease or where resources, such as infusion pump equipment, may not be available. Children require treatment according to specific paediatric guidelines particularly to minimise the risk of cerebral oedema. Although DKA is a serious and complex medical emergency, skilled medical care can reduce mortality rates to below 1%.

A partir da obra fotográfica “Colunas Infinitas”, do artista e ativista Daniel Lima, este artigo percebe o conceito de ‘entreligar’ de Homi Bhabha em diálogo com as teorias de cultura contemporânea de Stuart Hall, em contraponto à dissonância dos encontros culturais e artísticos desde nada menos que a ‘Semana de 22’ e sua celebração da arte brasileira restrita aos modernistas europeizados, mas que perdura aos dias de hoje, quer seja na ausência de outras manifestações estéticas nos currículos de arte contemporânea, quer seja em consonância com as restrições sanitárias da COVID19, que une os acadêmicos em redes virtuais, colunas eletrônicas, mas interrompe os diálogos escolares aos despossuídos de aparelhos e redes virtuais.
La educación como antídoto a la subalternización. Por una concepción pedagógica en clave intercultural en Argentina
Authors: Rodríguez Garat Cintia Daniela
Published: June 2022

Este artículo se propone delimitar conceptualmente el término “subalternización epistémica”, desde el enfoque que ofrecen las teorías poscoloniales. Para ello, se orienta a examinar la situación que se produce cuando el sistema educativo no contempla los diversos saberes epistémico-culturales de pertenencia del estudiantado. En particular, se enfoca a analizar qué sucede con el acceso al derecho a la educación de las comunidades indígenas de Argentina, cuando la escuela naturaliza las injusticias de orden epistémico. Finalmente, se plantea reflexionar sobre la educación intercultural como una propuesta de intrínseca relevancia para pensar la co-construcción cultural y epistémica. En la conclusión se consideró que, desde el enfoque de las injusticias epistémicas, se asiste a una forma de subalternización que generalmente convive con otros factores (de orden social, político, económico, cultural y territorial) que complejizan el abordaje de la problemática y se instalan como determinantes sociales de la educación y de la situación pedagógica de estas comunidades. Por este motivo, se planteó pensar en la necesidad de construir pedagogías interculturales, es decir, descolonizadoras. En efecto, la centralidad del planteo reside en la relevancia de las narrativas locales, geosituadas, propias de las comunidades indígenas para transformar performativamente, desde los cimientos del sentido común y en clave intercultural, la praxis pedagógica.

Published: June 2022

Este artículo aborda la relación entre la pedagogía crítica zapatista y la resistencia epistémica y emocional que la hacen posible. En este sentido, en una primera parte desarrollamos la relevancia de las emociones como parte concomitante de la colonialidad de la afectividad, en el marco de la colonialidad del poder. Posteriormente, analizaremos tres ejemplos de la resistencia epistémica y emocional de las comunidades zapatistas: 1) La educación autónoma zapatista; 2) la participación de las mujeres bases de apoyo; y finalmente, 3) los eventos públicos convocados por el Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN). Todo ello, como parte de la construcción de otros significados en torno a la educación, no solo al interior del movimiento zapatista, sino también al exterior de las comunidades.

In this paper the researcher has presented the results of a study conducted to find out whether adolescents belonging to different levels of Socio-economic status and Family Environment differ in their Emotional Intelligence, Academic Stress and Academic Achievement.  The study was conducted on a sample of 858 adolescents studying in various secondary schools of Aligarh district in Uttar Pradesh State, India. Standardized scales were employed for data collection. Multiple Analysis of variance technique (MANOVA) was applied to observe the effect. The homogeneity of the covariance matrices was verified using the Box’s M value. Results revealed that Socio-economic Status (SES) and Family Environment have significant effect on all the said variables. Post hoc analysis (Tukey HSD Test) findings revealed that differences exist with regard to Emotional Intelligence, Academic Stress and Academic Achievement among adolescent groups with different levels of Socioeconomic Status and Family Environment.

From a flexible approach, it is presented an article with the objective of building a category system for the analysis of didactic experiences in relation to citizenship education, heritage education and inclusive education. According to defined objective and after the references were reviewed, a system of categories was designed in relation to the three aforementioned categories, including models of citizenship and civic participation, types of heritage, purposes of heritage education, perspectives of attention to diversity and principles for an inclusive heritage. As a conclusion, regarding the development of citizenship, there are main trends in experiences and researches such as the autonomy of the individual, social inclusion and rights; including citizens' rights, ability to decide, knowledge and implementation of these rights, and social inclusion in the environment where they are developed as fundamental topics. In this process, the use of heritage as a source of social identity respectful of other cultures, individuals and societies faces a double challenge: become aware of the little value that students can attribute to heritage if they do not establish some connection with their lives and counteract the use of heritage as a resource as differentiated and disintegrating elements. This article was elaborated within the framework of EPITEC 2 research project, “Controversial heritages for the ecosocial formation of citizenship. An investigation of heritage education in formal education” (PID2020-116662GB-I00), funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of the Government of Spain.
Introduction to Ethnocriminology
Authors: Антонян Ю.М.
Published: June 2022

Введение: в статье преступность рассматривается с этнорелигиозных позиций и в контексте межнациональных конфликтов, особое внимание уделяется экстремизму и терроризму, называются основные черты этих явлений. Автор подчеркивает, что экстремизм и национализм в политике могут поставить человечество на грань катастрофы. Цель: обратить внимание на недостаточную изученность преступлений, носящих этнический и этнорелигиозный характер, обосновать необходимость проведения криминологических этнологических исследований, направленных на выработку новых общетеоретических подходов к пониманию преступности, ее причин и мер борьбы с нею. Методы: методологическую основу данного исследования составляет аксиологический подход. Решению исследовательской задачи способствовало использование общефилософских принципов диалектики и специальных методов познания: систематического, формально-юридического, социологического и др. Результаты: автором рассмотрены проблемы фанатизма в этнических и этнорелигиозных группах, подчеркивается его особая опасность. Отмечается, что в корне неверно утверждать, что существует цивилизация, которая враждует с остальным миром, поскольку цивилизация включает в себя не только религиозную составляющую. Выводы: государство может успешно противостоять национализму и этнорелигиозному фанатизму; в странах, где данные явления находятся под угрозой наказания, преступники иногда оказываются способными отказаться от своих убеждений.

Introduction: the article considers crime from ethno-religious perspectives and in the context of interethnic conflicts, pays special attention to extremism and terrorism, and identifies critical features of these phenomena. The author emphasizes that extremism and nationalism in politics can put humanity on the brink of disaster. Task: to draw attention to insufficient study of crimes of an ethnic and ethno-religious nature, substantiate the need for criminological ethnological research aimed at developing new general theoretical approaches to understanding crime, its causes and measures to combat it. Methods: the axiological approach is a methodological basis of this research. To solve the research problem, general philosophical principles of dialectics and special methods of cognition, such as systematic, formal legal, sociological, etc., are used. Results: the author considers problems of fanaticism in ethnic and ethno-religious groups and emphasizes its particular danger. It is noted that it is fundamentally wrong to assert that there is a civilization that is at enmity with the rest of the world, since civilization includes not only a religious component. Conclusions: the state can successfully resist nationalism and ethno-religious fanaticism; in countries where these phenomena are punishable, criminals may renounce their beliefs.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of intense acute exercise and regular and continuous exercise on oxidative stress parameters and apoptosis-related Bax and Bcl-2 protein levels in rats. In the study, 1 control and 4 experimental groups were formed from 35 male Wistar-Albino rats, 7 in each group. The control group was not exercised, the other four groups exercised at a speed of 1.5 km/h for 1 hour on a 20 degree incline treadmill every day. Control and 1st group at the end of the 1st day, 2nd group 7th day, 3rd group 15th day and 4th group 30th day were sacrificed under anesthesia. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as an indicator of lipid peroxidation, and Glutathione (GSH), Catalase (CAT), Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) levels as an antioxidant indicator in muscle and plasma levels were measured. Bax and Bcl-2 protein expression levels were also checked for apoptosis in skeletal muscle. According to the results obtained, skeletal muscle and plasma MDA values increased after acute exercise (P<0.05), while skeletal muscle and plasma GSH-Px, CAT values increased significantly after continuing regular and continuous exercise (P<0.01). It was observed that Bax protein expression level increased, Bcl-2 protein expression level decreased and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio increased in acute exercise (p<0.05). As a result, it was concluded that regular and continuous exercise has a protective effect against oxidative stress and apoptosis triggered by acute exercise can be suppressed by regular and continuous exercise.

Ibuprofen (IBU) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is extensively prescribed. For the determination of IBU in pharmaceutical formulations, a sensitive, simple, accurate, and rapid ultra-performance liquid chromatography method in combination with tandem triple quadruple mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) has been used and validated. The chromatographic separation was accomplished using a C18 UPLC column, 95 Å, 2.1 x 50 mm, 1.8 µm, and 0.1 percent formic acid in conjunction with acetonitrile (25:75 v/v. The flow rate was 0.15 ml min-1, with a run duration of 2.0 minutes. The injection volume was 5 μL and the column temperature was held constant at 40 °C.The mass transitions of İbuprofen and IS were m/z 205.1 → 159.0 and 249.9 → 229.1, respectivelty. According to ICH guidelines, the approach was thoroughly verified. The linear range 1-5000 ng mL-1 calibration curve has a strong correlation coefficient (0.9921). Within and between days precision were expressed as relative standard deviation and were lower than 6.24%. This method has been used to determine IBU in both pure form and pharmaceutical formulations with great success.
presença mística de Cristo na assembleia litúrgica:
Authors: E Silva Marta Chiara
Published: June 2022

O tema liturgia tem sido alvo de constante debate e questionamentos no meio eclesial. O apagamento da dimensão mistagógica na transmissão das verdades da fé, ao longo dos séculos, produziu profundas sequelas na vivência cristã contribuindo para que, ainda hoje, muitos cristãos, percebam e vivenciem a liturgia apenas no seu aspecto externo, numa prática feita de hábitos e obrigações, que, por vezes, chega até a beirar a mentalidade mágica. O fascínio pela liturgia, ao invés, nasce da descoberta daquilo que se está celebrando, a passagem do Ressuscitado na história, no tempo de cada existência humana.  Neste sentido, a liturgia não é apenas uma série de coisas a serem cumpridas, observadas, preparadas, a liturgia é uma Pessoa a ser encontrada, ou melhor, uma Pessoa que se deixa encontrar. O objetivo desse trabalho é contribuir para o despertar de uma nova mentalidade na vivência celebrativa desse Mistério, visto que, a participação consciente e pessoal, com um olhar a partir da fé, é condição sine qua non para que a celebração se torne fecunda e transforme a vida do fiel. O caminho percorrido para construção dessa reflexão seguiu a trilha do Concílio Vaticano II, no seu retorno às fontes da Revelação, bíblica e patrística.

The competitiveness of an enterprise is directly related to the quality of its products. Therefore, in the process of production of the relevant assortment of products, it is necessary to optimally adjust the entire production and technological chain, i.e. from the moment of receipt of raw materials to the stage of finished product output. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main economic indicators of competitiveness on the example of “Import Oils” LLP. The subject of the research are organizational and economic relations in the process of increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise. In the process of research, we used methods of differentiated indicators of competitiveness evaluation of enterprise efficiency: liquidity indicators, indicators of financial stability, indicators of enterprise profitability. In this aspect, a special role is played by the process of forming the cost of production, as it forms the basis of pricing of the business entity. Consequently, the enterprise needs discriminatory pricing in those industries where the firm sells its products. In general, along with increasing the competitiveness of the enterprise, improving the quality of products sold and expanding its range, targeted work on the promotion of goods on the market. In this aspect, a special role should be given to issues of improvement of sales channels of the company's products. At the same time competitiveness of economic subjects will allow to form the balanced development of branch markets of separate kinds of production and services.
