"Listen to the Trees!" A tribute to the father of modern cavitation research, Professor John Milburn, on the 20th anniversary of his untimely death
Authors: Williamson Virginia Gai
Published: January 2018

Over the last 35 years, the study of cavitation in plants has become an accepted and important component of the water stress studies performed by plant physiologists. Although the existence of cavitation had been known since Berthelot’s (1850) pioneering work on the tensile strength of water in glass tubes, the tensions at which it occurred in such systems were far more negative than were considered likely to occur in plants. It is to the late Professor John Milburn’s sharp observational powers, lateral thinking and problem-solving approach — illustrated by his pioneering detection of cavitation in plants — that we owe today’s field of cavitation research. John Milburn was constantly thinking of new ways to approach and solve plant physiological problems. In 1966, Milburn and Johnson published their seminal work on the occurrence of cavitation in plants, using data collected via a record player needle and an amplifier. After the invention of the Scholander pressure chamber (Scholander et al. 1965), it became possible to measure easily the xylem pressures at which plants cavitated. Milburn and McLaughlin (1974) found that such pressures were within the physiological ranges that plants experienced and so the phenomenon of cavitation in plants under stress became a fruitful field of research.
Professor John Milburn was tragically killed in a flying accident in 1997. The premature loss of such a great scientist, aged only 60, was felt keenly in the Botany Department of the University of New England, Armidale, Australia, where he had been a Professor for 16 years, and also around the world. This article is a tribute to Professor John Milburn, encompassing several of his key discoveries (a rare recording of the sound of cavitation occurring in the audible range is included in this tribute), as well as some of the many aspects of the man. It is timely, on the 20th anniversary of his death, to remind ourselves that today’s experimental water stress research would be the poorer without John Milburn’s pioneering work.

Authors: Oudghiri Hassani Hicham , T. Al Wadaani Fahd
Published: January 2018

Nickel molybdate, NiMoO4, nanoparticles were synthesized via calcination of an oxalate complex in static air at 500 °C. The oxalate complex was analyzed by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The as-synthesized nickel molybdate was characterized by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller technique (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and its catalytic efficiency was tested in the reduction reaction of the three-nitrophenol isomers. The nickel molybdate displays a very high activity in the catalytic reduction of the nitro functional group to an amino. The reduction progress was controlled using UV-Vis absorption.
Predictor Packing in Developing Unprecedented Shaped Colloidal Particles
Authors: Ali Mubarak , Lin I –Nan , Yeh C. –J.
Published: January 2018

Developing particles of various geometric anisotropic shapes are the hot topic since decades as they guarantee some special features of properties not possible through other means. Again, controlling atoms to develop certain size and shape particle is a quite challenging job. In this study, gold particles of different shapes are developed via pulse-based electronphoton-solution interface process. Here it is discussed that gold atoms while transition of cold state to re-crystallization state amalgamate at solution surface around the light glow to develop monolayer assembly. The rate of uplifting gold atoms to solution surface is as per the reaction of entering force of electron streams and photons of varying wavelength achieved under optimized process conditions. Prior to uplifting of gold atoms, they dissociated from the precursor through absorption of heat energy given to solution by the immersed graphite rod. On the other hand, packets of nano shape energy developing tiny particles of own shape on binding their energy to energy knots clamping to electron states of atoms of monolayer assembly under the achieved transition state. Simultaneously, atoms of developed monolayer tiny particles start elongating at both sides to centre under the influence of influencing surface format force where electrons deal adjacent diffusion under orientational-based stretching of clamping energy knots resulting into transform one-dimensional arrays of atoms into structure of smooth elements where tip of each one of them facing the centre of light glow under the increased level of force resulting into pack as one unit. Due to the feature of bipolar pulse having unity ratio of pulse OFF to ON time, each tiny particle is first developed in shape like two joint triangles. As adjacent connection between their two atoms dealing force of opposite pole, they first separated into two equal triangular-shaped tiny particles under the application of surface format force. They directed as one unit from the regions of formation to pack at already allocated unfilled regions to develop certain shape particle under the force as per their gained feature. Structures of smooth elements of triangular-shaped tiny particles in the reach of packing at centre of light glow further elongate while impinging electron streams. Structures of smooth element further shape and acquire smoothness under the forcing energy of high density travelling photons. Depending on the zone of development of tiny particles along with their number of together packing develop various geometric anisotropic shaped particles. At fixed precursor concentration, increasing the process time results into develop particles of low aspect ratio. Here under tuned parameters, we locate developing mechanisms of particles of high aspect ratio exhibiting unprecedented features.

Published: January 2018

Contact with nature is suggested to be as an important resource for human health and well-being. Stress alleviation and reduction of mental fatigue are main instances of improvement of human health and well-being in contact with nature. Although the term restoration experience in contact with nature has been used repeatedly for concepts of stress alleviation and reduction of mental fatigue, these refer to different sets of theories and research studies. In this paper, by reviewing the nature-health related theories of Biophilia, Stress Recovery Theory, Attention Restoration Theory and Supportive Environment Theory (SET), the similarities and differences between these two concepts have been discussed. Moreover, the measurement approach instruments based on different study methodologies and aims are provided. This paper could provide information for future studies with focus on factors to be of benefit for restoration experience in design and planning of natural landscape environments with the aim of health and well-being development.
Arresting Leprosy: Therapeutic Outcomes Besides Cure
Authors: López Raúl Necochea
Published: January 2018

This essay focuses on the use of the concept of “arrest” in Hansen’s disease (leprosy) in the United States in the early to middle part of the 20th century, as well as the transformations the concept underwent with the arrival of sulfone drugs and the implications of these changes for patients and public health officers. An “arrest” was a therapeutic outcome characterized by a long course of treatment, noncontagiousness, a very small chance of reactivation, and a need for postdischarge maintenance that depended on sociomedical infrastructures beyond the clinic as well as self-imposed lifestyle limitations. The concept of disease arrest shows that experts and laypeople alike have valued therapeutic outcomes other than “cure” that signal certain optimal therapeutic milestones, despite the practical difficulties they imply and despite the fact that they do not promise a return to a pre-illness stage.

Authors: Kornaś Anna , Bętkowska-Korpała Barbara
Published: January 2018

ABSTRAKTWstęp: Chorzy leczeni onkologicznie są grupą wymagającą komplementarnej, wielospecjalistycznej opieki medycznej oraz zapewnienia wsparcia. Poznanie oczekiwań pacjentów względem personelu medycznego stanowi jeden z elementów holistycznej opieki.Głównym celem badania była analiza oczekiwań pacjentów z chorobą nowotworową wobec lekarzy. Oczekiwania oceniono na dwóch płaszczyznach – oczekiwań obecnie realizowanych oraz oczekiwań idealnych.Materiały i metody: Do badania zakwalifikowano 107 pacjentów leczonych z powodu choroby nowotworowej. Chemioterapię otrzymywało 53 chorych, natomiast 54 leczono radioterapią. Badanie miało charakter przekrojowy. Narzędziem badawczym był ustrukturyzowany kwestionariusz zawierający informacje o danych socjodemograficznych, informację o chorobach nowotworowych w najbliższej rodzinie oraz test oczekiwań opracowany przez Goldzweiga i wsp.Wyniki: W ocenie pacjentów oczekiwaniami obecnie realizowanymi przez lekarzy w najwyższym stopniu były czynności ekspresyjne – możliwości zaufania lekarzowi (45% chorych) oraz możliwości swobodnej rozmowy (44%). Do oczekiwań idealnych, deklarowanych wnajwyższym stopniu, należała możliwość zaufania lekarzowi (67%) oraz objaśniania planów leczenia (63%). Ponadto w ocenie oczekiwań idealnych, metodą analizy skupień, wyodrębniono dwie grupy. Pierwszą grupę stanowili chorzy deklarujący wyższy poziom oczekiwań (n = 47), natomiast drugą grupę pacjenci z niższymi oczekiwaniami w stosunku do lekarzy (n = 53). Wyższy poziom oczekiwań istotnie częściej deklarowały kobiety, które stanowiły 62,5% badanych w pierwszej grupie (p = 0,003). Obserwowano istotną, monotoniczną zależność pomiędzy poziomem wykształcenia a większymi oczekiwaniami (p = 0,02).Wnioski: Pacjenci leczeni onkologicznie oczekują od lekarzy relacji zapewniającej im wsparcie emocjonalne oraz pełne informowanie na temat choroby i prowadzonego leczenia. Największe oczekiwania deklarują kobiety oraz osoby obu płci z wyższym wykształceniem.
Problemy komunikacyjne w otoczeniu pacjenta w kontekście emocji związanych ze śmiercią
Authors: Dyk Tadeusz , Kolwitz Marcin
Published: January 2018

W konsekwencji przemian kulturowych i postępu technologicznego w medycynie we współczesnych społeczeństwach nastąpiła zmiana postrzegania śmierci. Staje się ona coraz częściej tematem tabu. Jednocześnie cały czas pojawiają się trudności komunikacyjne w relacjach na płaszczyźnie umierający pacjent–otoczenie–personel medyczny.Rozwiązanie wspomnianych trudności jest możliwe dzięki umiejętnościom przekazania przez lekarzy diagnozy bolesnej dla pacjenta i jego rodziny oraz jej przyjęcia przez zainteresowanych. Niezbędna we wzajemnej komunikacji wśród wszystkich uczestników procesu leczenia (zarówno pracowników medycznych, chorych, jak i ich rodzin) jest świadomość naturalnych reakcji psychosocjologicznych związanych z przyswajaniem traumatycznych wydarzeń takich jak śmierć oraz nieunikanie prawdy o śmiertelnej chorobie.
Appendektomia laparoskopowa przeprowadzona w znieczuleniu przewodowym – opis przypadku
Authors: Modrzejewski Andrzej , Śledź Marcin , Koś Dominik
Published: January 2018

Wstęp: Appendektomia laparoskopowa przeprowadzana jest standardowo w znieczuleniu ogólnym. Przyjęto, iż taki rodzaj znieczulenia z towarzyszącym zwiotczeniem pacjenta jest najbardziej optymalnym sposobem, aby zapewnić wystarczającą przestrzeń operacyjną oraz odpowiedni efekt przeciwbólowy dla technik operacyjnych wymagających wytworzenia odmy otrzewnowej. Na podstawie doniesień w piśmiennictwie oraz przypadku opisanego w niniejszej pracy śmiało można stwierdzić, iż dotychczasowe podejście do znieczulenia w zabiegach laparoskopowych staje się coraz mniej uzasadnione.Omówienie przypadku: W pracy przedstawiono przypadek młodej, nieobciążonej internistycznie kobiety, u której rozpoznano ostre zapalenie wyrostka robaczkowego i którą zakwalifikowano do laparoskopowej appendektomii. Stopień ryzyka operacyjnego w skali Amerykańskiego Towarzystwa Anestezjologów (American Society of Anaesthesiology) oceniono na Ii zdecydowano o przeprowadzeniu zabiegu w znieczuleniu przewodowym. Zabieg i znieczulenie przebiegały bez komplikacji, jednocześnie chora uniknęła ryzyka potencjalnych powikłań wynikających ze znieczulenia ogólnego i zwiotczenia.Wyniki: Dzięki rozwojowi techniki operacyjnej oraz coraz większemu doświadczeniu operatorów wykonywane obecnie zabiegi laparoskopowe trwają znacznie krócej niż okres działania leków zwiotczających, a efekt przeciwbólowy znieczulenia przewodowego okazuje się zupełnie wystarczający. Ponadto omawiany przypadek chorej dowodzi, iż brak zwiotczenia w żaden sposób nie wpływa negatywnie na przebieg samego zabiegu.Wnioski: Leczenie operacyjne ostrego schorzenia jamy brzusznej metodą laparoskopową w znieczuleniu przewodowym jest wykonalne i bezpieczne u pacjenta bez istotnych obciążeń internistycznych. Przedstawiony w pracy przypadek chorej uzasadnia potrzebę szerszego stosowania tej metody znieczulenia w trakcie laparoskopowych operacji ostrych schorzeń jamy brzusznej, a ostateczna wartość znieczulenia przewodowego podczas zabiegów techniką laparoskopową powinna zostać określona na podstawie dalszych prospektywnych badań porównujących zastosowanie obu metod znieczulenia.

Wstęp: Celem pracy była ocena jakości życia (JŻ) pacjentów z przewlekłą białaczką szpikową (PBSz) w chwili ustalenia rozpoznania, po 1 miesiącu i 12 miesiącach leczenia imatinibem oraz próba wybrania z postępowania terapeutycznego elementów, które w sposób istotny wpływają na obniżenie JŻ pacjentów.Materiały i metody: Ocena JŻ była przeprowadzona wśród dorosłych pacjentów z ustalonym rozpoznaniem PBSz hospitalizowanych w Klinice Hematologii, na Oddziale Dziennej Chemioterapii iPoradni Hematologicznej Pomorskiej Akademii Medycznej w Szczecinie, obecnie Pomorskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Szczecinie (Polska). Do oceny JŻ były wykorzystane 2 kwestionariusze: EORTC QLQ-C30 oraz EQ-5D, natomiast do oceny objawów depresji wykorzystano kwestionariusz CES-D. Analizy JŻ dokonano w 3 przedziałach czasowych: w chwili ustalenia rozpoznania (A1), po 1 miesiącu leczenia (A2) oraz po 12 miesiącach leczenia (A3). Wszyscy pacjenci byli leczeni imatinibem.Wyniki: Funkcjonowanie emocjonalne i JŻ oraz ogólny stan zdrowia uległy istotnej poprawie od A1 do A3. Pacjenci mówili o istotnym zmniejszeniu objawów dotyczących zmęczenia i dolegliwości bólowych. Objawy depresji znamiennie zmniejszyły się w trakcie leczenia. Grupa pacjentów cierpiąca na inne poważne choroby odnotowała wyższy wskaźnik objawów depresji. Chorzy nieposiadający stopnia naukowego i innych dodatkowych kwalifikacji oraz pacjenci cierpiący na inne poważne choroby znamiennie gorzej ocenili funkcjonowanie poznawcze.Wnioski: Na podstawie pomiaru różnych aspektów JŻ z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza EORTC QLQ-C30 oraz EQ-5D wykazano istotną poprawę już po 1. miesiącu leczenia w porównaniu zestanem przy rozpoznaniu PBSz. Ze względu na wysoki wskaźnik depresji CES-D pacjenci z PBSz wymagają stałej opieki psychologicznej, a w niektórych przypadkach także psychiatrycznej.

PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE TRAINING IN CONTINUING EDUCATION
Authors: Tarasevich Mariya
Published: January 2018

The article defines and clarifies the terminological apparatus for researching the particular characteristics and possibilities for improving the quality of the professional staff training in continuing education. It gives a systematically detailed list of the pedagogical conditions for optimizing the quality of the professional employee training in the continuing education model. The current research is conducted at the confluence of the personnel management theory, the theory of teaching (didactics) and vocational education theory. The paper redefines some related concepts in their broad, narrow, local and unified meaning. The wide sense is determined by a macro-level definition and the solution of scientific and pedagogical tasks. The narrow sense specifies the level of procedural relations and is characterized by the mezo-level modeling and design of the pedagogical activity foundations in the theory and methodology of the continuing education organization. The local meaning is determined by the micro-level models of defining and solving problems of personality development, included in the system of continuous education. The unified meaning is defined as the most widely distributed and independent of the size of the research object, its description and dissemination of scientific knowledge. The pedagogical conditions for improving the quality of the professional training in the continuous education model are determined through a linear construct that reveals all the components of the phenomenon under consideration in its consistent implementation in the model of continuity, systemic, integrity, objectivity and scientific character. Pedagogical conditions for improving the quality of staff training in the model of continuous education determine the choice of the possibility of modeling and designing composite pedagogical technology and methods for assessing the quality of the formation of the pedagogical construct and the product of scientific research.

Authors: Kore Nitin , Pazdera Pavel
Published: January 2018

Aim and Objective: The aim of our work is to demonstrate catalytic application of our previously
reported simple Cu(I) ion supported on weakly acidic polyacrylate resin for Azide-Alkyne cycloaddition
(CuAAC), Azide-Nitrile cycloaddition and in synthesis of 1-azido-4-methoxybenzene.

Material and Method:

To investigate the catalytic ability of title Cu(I) catalyst we performed the reaction of
different aryl azide with a broader spectrum of different terminal alkyne and nitrile compounds.

Results:

The title supported Cu(I) catalyzes cycloaddition reactions of aryl azide with aliphatic, aromatic, and
heterocyclic terminal alkynes and corresponding 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were obtained almost in the
quantitative yields. The cycloaddition reactions of aryl azide with nitriles consisting α-hydrogen on carbon attached
to cyano group under catalytic action of the title supported Cu(I) ended up with the formation of 1,4-
disubstituted 1,2,3-triazol-5-amines in quantitative yields. The title catalyst found to be active for nucleophilic
substitution of aide group (-N3) to 4-Iodoanisole.

Conclusion:

It was found that both studied Azide-Alkyne cycloaddition and Azide-Nitrile cycloaddition syntheses
are regioselective and quantitative in yield. The title catalyst used is economical, easily preparable, separable,
and recyclable. Therefore, the studied syntheses may be regarded as environmentally clean and green
processes.

Authors: Wittmeier Kristy DM , Hobbs-Murison Kendall , Holland Cindy , Crawford Elizabeth , Loewen Hal , Morris Melanie , Lum Min Suyin , Abou-Setta Ahmed , Keijzer Richard
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND

Patient and public involvement in health research is important to produce relevant and impactful results.

OBJECTIVE

This paper aimed to prioritize and summarize Hirschsprung disease (HD)–related information needs among caregivers of children with HD and pediatric surgeons through partnership with a parent-initiated social media campaign.

METHODS

We conducted a Web-based survey with the 2 stakeholder groups to identify information needs. The caregiver survey was conducted through a global Web-based community, and the surgeon survey was distributed to members of the Canadian Association of Paediatric Surgeons (CAPS). We conducted a literature review to identify evidence on the prioritized topics.

RESULTS

Our findings showed that 54.9% (89/162) of the individuals completed the caregiver survey and 23.8% (52/218 listed members) of the pediatric surgeons completed the survey distributed through CAPS. Only 20% (18/89) of the caregivers reported being very satisfied or satisfied with the current HD-related resources. A final prioritized list of information needs included bowel management, nutrition and growth, infection, perianal irritation, gastrointestinal pain, surgical diagnostics, and surgical complications. In total, 87 studies were included in the literature review, which included the following: 8 reviews, 2 randomized controlled trials, 74 cohort studies, and 3 practice guidelines. Two priority issues identified by caregivers had only a single study that met the inclusion criteria, whereas 1 topic had none.

CONCLUSIONS

With caregiver and surgeon input, we identified 7 information priority areas related to HD. A review of the literature on the priorities found little evidence to support the development of high-quality guidelines. More research is necessary to meet the information needs related to HD as identified by stakeholders.

Brazil is one of the countries with the highest potential for livestock production, mainly determined by its climatic conditions, vast territory and forage, that are the basis of the diet of ruminants in most production systems in the country. This assumption, an alternative to solve the lack of food during the year is the conservation of surplus grass as silage. However, the high moisture content at the ensilage predispose the growth of undesirable microorganisms, which result in loss of gases and effluents. However, one of the ways to reduce these losses is the addition of coproduct with high hygroscopic and increase the nutritional value and benefits during the fermentation process of preserving forage. Developed this study aiming to evaluate the fermentation characteristics, gas losses and effluent, nutrient recovery, nutritive value, the in situ degradability and fractionation of carbohydrates and protein in silages added hygroscopic additive, as rice meal.

Innovation and economic growth: evidence from financial institutional innovation
Authors: Qamruzzaman Md
Published: January 2018

Innovation is the key to bringing changes in the traditional financial system. Innovation in the financial system being new financial products, hybrid financial institutions and new rules and regulations to reform existing financial system. Evolvement of financial institutions in the economy help economy in performing a financial function more effective and efficiently and such performance of financial institution promotes economic growth. The aim of the study to assess the relationship between institutional innovation and economic growth of Bangladesh over the period from 1991 to 2015. During this study, we employ the various econometric model to established association ship between institutional innovation and economic growth. Study results revealed that all the variables are stationary at level and after first difference all the variables become non-stationary. Test of Cointegration results revealed that innovation in the financial system through non-bank financial institutions and the financial market can contribute long run and CPI and spread rate can contribute in short run in the economic growth of Bangladesh. While Granger Causality Test revealed that Capital flow and GDP shows unidirectional causality but financial market development and GDP shows the Bidirectional causal relationship in the economy. It is also observed from causality analysis that capital flow and financial market development shows bidirectional causality, which indicated that innovation either in a financial institution or financial market can cause both variables and eventually influence on economic growth. So policymaker should consider the interrelationship between institutional innovation and economic growth while the formulation of economic policy because policy should expedite the development process in the financial system by making robust financial sector through encouraging financial innovation with banks, non-banks financial institution and capital market as well. Robust financial development can cause positively in overall economic growth in Bangladesh.

Applying commonly used vector autoregression (VAR) techniques on annual data obtained for the country, the study found that there exist the Consumption-Interest rate Euler relationship for Nigeria. However, our finding refutes the general assertion of theorist that the substitution effect is always larger (and more workable) in the Euler relationship than the income effect. Our results shows that the consumption Euler equation for Nigeria is consumption-driven, an indication that income effect may be more workable in Nigeria thus crowding out the substitution effect. This was further supported by a uni-directional causality that runs through consumption to interest rate. We recommend, among other things, interest rate policy framework that is flexible to economic needs of the region and motivates saving-dissaving culture of the people and consumptions patterns that is financed by cashless financial products.

Use of 2-octyl cyanoacrylate for wound closure in a modified Roberts-Bistner procedure for eyelid agenesis in five cats (nine eyes)
Authors: Reed Zoe , Doering Clinton J. , Barrett Paul M.
Published: January 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION 5 cats (9 eyes) were evaluated for surgical correction of bilateral eyelid agenesis.

CLINICAL FINDINGS All eyes lacked > 25% of the temporal upper eyelid, and all cats had clinical signs attributable to chronic ocular exposure. Abnormalities were limited to the ocular surface in the 4 female cats, whereas the sole male cat had additional abnormalities consistent with anterior segment dysgenesis.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME A modified Roberts-Bistner procedure involving 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (2OCA) was performed on 9 eyes; 1 eye was enucleated. Surgical wounds in the initial 3 eyes were closed with 2OCA plus sutures, and flaps were lined with conjunctiva. The technique was optimized for remaining eyes by use of a single suture for flap apposition, no conjunctival lining of flaps, and 2OCA alone for wound closure. Median duration of surgery was 35 minutes/eye for the initial 3 eyes versus 16 minutes/eye for the subsequent 6 eyes treated with the optimized procedure. After surgery, all cats had complete palpebral reflexes and resolution of clinical signs of ocular irritation. Minor complications in the early postoperative period included eyelid swelling (n = 9), poor cosmesis (7), and persistent epiphora (3). By the second recheck examination, swelling had resolved and cosmesis was considered excellent. Two eyes with epiphora had been treated with the initial modified procedure and required cryoepilation for resolution of epiphora.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE The modified Roberts-Bistner procedure for eyelid agenesis involving 2OCA for wound closure provided functional, cosmetic eyelids that improved comfort and provided protection of the ocular surface in affected cats.

Published: January 2018

La proliferación y facilidad de acceso a grandes bases de datos de carácter científico tipo Open Data hace necesario un análisis sobre la adecuación de cada una de ellas a los objetivos perseguidos en cualquier trabajo de investigación o en la aplicación de un proceso de modelado. En este trabajo se comparan tres fuentes de datos validadas por comunidad científica y ampliamente utilizadas para el análisis de la temperatura  (del aire y de superficie) a escalas medias (WorldClim, ECA&D y MODIS) utilizando como área de estudio el territorio europeo al oeste de la frontera ruso-europea. Estas tres series de datos se comparan teniendo en cuenta dos tamaños de píxel y los distintos tipos de climas existentes. Como resultado, se verifica la existencia de diferencias entre estas series de datos, aunque no significativas, y se describen las limitaciones y funcionalidad de cada una de ellas.

Authors: Pérez Díaz Antonio , Leco Berrocal Felipe
Published: January 2018

Los Grupos de Acción Local extremeños manifiestan marcados contrastes en su extensión, volumen poblacional, densidad, número de municipios y caracterización territorial. El objetivo de este artículo es valorar el grado de idoneidad alcanzado en la implementación de las políticas de desarrollo rural y, con ello, sopesar la pertinencia o no de realizar ajustes territoriales en todos o en algunos de los GAL regionales. La metodología aplicada ha consistido en un estudio de la situación de los veinticuatro Grupos de Acción Local según los resultados del Programa Operativo 2007-2013. Posteriormente, se ha aplicado la técnica del análisis multifactorial, que ha permitido la interpretación de esa compleja realidad y realizar diversas propuestas de ajuste territorial que mejorarían sensiblemente los niveles de eficacia y eficiencia en la gestión y aplicación de los fondos comunitarios getionados por los Grupos de Acción Local.

Las palabras y las cosas
Authors: Garibay Santillán Aurora Sandra
Published: January 2018

El problema del conocimiento ha sido desde siempre, tema central en la historia del hombre, su ciencia y su filosofía. Las formas en que interpretamos al mundo buscan darle orden, sentido y significancia a las cosas y a los hechos de la vida; pero la forma en cómo lo hacemos ha sido bastante complicada de exponer y mucho más de explicar. Las Palabras y Las Cosas de Michel Foucault, nos lleva en un viaje a través de la historia para hacernos saber, de forma magistral, cómo se ha tratado hasta nuestros días el problema de la aprehensión de la realidad a través del conocimiento mediado por el lenguaje. El concepto de semejanza se convierte en el punto central de su enfoque, aunque nunca hace referencia al lugar que ya le había dado Aristóteles, junto con los de contigüidad y contraste, como procesos asociativos. Sin embargo, señala de forma certera el lugar que el lenguaje tiene como proceso, como sistema, como cosa o producto del lenguaje y cómo el hombre ha ido construyendo su propio mundo y tal vez su propia conciencia.

El autoempleo y los egresados universitarios, la participación de las instituciones de educación superior
Authors: Gómez Monroy Daniel Adrián
Published: January 2018

La búsqueda del conocimiento es un mecanismo que acerca a los seres humanos en muchos sentidos. Existen necesidades básicas que son satisfechas por medio del dinero, resultado del intercambio de trabajo por este. Normalmente cuando no se cumple esta premisa, ocurren diferentes problemas sociales, uno de ellos es el desempleo y una posible solución el autoempleo, solo que para aplicar esta actividad interactúan diversos factores como son lo institucional-las escuelas-, lo social y personal y lo económico, político y cultural. Este ensayo trata de conocer la viabilidad de la aplicación del autoempleo en México, así como su potencialidad para combatir el desempleo de los egresados universitarios.
