Authors: Shahi Akbar Massoumi , Nikpassand Mohammad , Fekri Leila Zare
Published: May 2020

Aims:

synthesis of pyrano[c-2,3]chromens with Ionic Liquid catalyst with simple method.

Background:

Synthesis of pyrano[c]coumarins has a special place in the structure due to two bioactive compounds
in its structure and attracts a great deal of attention in this research work, it has been attempted to attach
chromatically valuable skeletons to them and synthesize the pyrano [c] coumarines, which can potentially have
high biological properties. For this purpose, electrophilic β-ketoester ringing in the presence of ionic liquid catalysts
was used. While optimizing the catalyst recovery, it is possible to synthesize several coumarine pyrano[
c]derivatives with high yield.

Objective:

This paper describes an efficient procedure for the multi-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes,
4,4,4-Trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione and 4-hydroxycoumarinwhich catalyzed by Ioniq liquid (OlmDSA), at
room temperature. This catalyst was synthesized with new simple procedure. This protocol has advantages of
simplicity, mild condition and high yield.

Materials and Methods:

After formation of a new stain corresponding to the alkene intermediate, 4-hydroxy
coumarin (1 mM) was added. The reaction was progressed by thin layer chromatography in a 1: 2 ratio solvent
containing ethyl acetate and hexane. The reaction mixture was then stirred for one hour. After the reaction was
complete, the catalyst was first removed by washing. Ethanol was then added to the reaction residue and washed
and finally filtered. The residual solid on the filter paper after drying was considered as the product and was taken
to confirm. its structure, melting point and spectra. The following is a general overview of the reaction.

Results and Discussion:

In addition to the advantages mentioned for this tri-component reaction, the conservation
of the coumarin ring is very important in this research design because it is formed in many of the reported
open reactions and phenolic ring.

Conclusion:

The benefits of this work include simple reaction steps, review of reaction progress by TLC chromatography,
simple separation of the catalyst by washing and reuse for three times without any reduction in yield
and high reaction yield.
Molecular Docking Studies of Glycyrrhetinic Acid Derivatives as Anti-Colorectal Cancer Agents
Authors: Doan Nam Q.H. , Truong Tuyen N. , Nguyen Phuong T.V.
Published: May 2020

Background:

In this study, the anti-colorectal cancer (CRC) activities of 40 glycyrrhetinic
acid derivatives were proposed and evaluated by the molecular docking method, which allowed
the flexibility of both ligand-receptor, with twelve CRC-related targets.

Methods:

The proposed derivatives, which clearly distinguish isomers at position 18 as well as the
different tautomers, were divided into five groups, including (1) glycyrrhetinic acid and its oxidation
derivatives, (2) glycoside derivatives, (3) 3β-amine derivatives, (4) five-membered heterocyclic
ring-combined derivatives, and (5) six-membered heterocyclic ring-combined derivatives.

Results:

Finally, four out of twelve proposed targets related to CRC with good binding affinities to the proposed
glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives were selected, including Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR),
Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), Lactate Dehydrogenase A (LDHA), and Thymidylate Synthase (TS).

Conclusion:

From there, 9/40 derivatives for EGFR (pKd ≥ 9); 10/40 derivatives for FAK (pKd ≥
10); 9/40 derivatives for LDHA (pKd ≥ 10), and 6/40 derivatives for TS (pKd ≥ 9) were also obtained.
The glycoside derivatives showed the best binding affinity (especially the glucuronide derivative
5b), followed by the 3β-amino derivatives (especially the 3β-(phenylamino) derivative 8b) and
the five-membered heterocyclic ring-combined derivatives (especially the pyrrole derivative 10a or
pyrazole derivative 11.2a), while the six-membered heterocyclic ring-combined derivatives had less
potential to inhibit the 4 selected targets.

Authors: Charitos Ioannis A. , Gagliano-Candela Roberto , Santacroce Luigi , Bottalico Lucrezia
Published: May 2020

Background:

Cannabis sativa L. (C. sativa) is a plant whose use as a therapeutic agent shares its origins with the first Far East’s human societies. Cannabis has been used not only for recreational purposes but as food to obtain textile fibers, to produce hemp paper, to treat many physical and mental disorders.

Aim:

This review aims to provide a complete assessment of the deep knowledge of the cannabis psychoactive effects and medicinal properties in the course of history covering i.) The empirical use of the seeds and the inflorescences to treat many physical ailments by the ancient Oriental physicians’ ii.) The current use of cannabis as a therapeutic agent after the discovery of its key psychoactive constituent and the human endogenous endocannabinoid system.

Methods:

This study was performed through a detailed analysis of the studies on the historical significance and medical applications of Cannabis sativa by using international scientific databases, historical and medical books, ancient Greek and Chinese manuscripts translations, library and statistical data from government reports and texts from the National Library of Greece (Stavros Niarchos Foundation), from the School of Health Sciences of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece). We selected papers and texts focusing on a historical point of view about the medical importance of the plant and its applications for a therapeutic purpose in the past.

Results and conclusion:

Through a detailed analysis of the available resources about the origins of C. sativa, we found that its use by ancient civilizations as a source of food and textile fibers dates back over 10,000 years, while its therapeutic applications have been improved over the centuries, from the ancient East medicine of the 2nd and 1st millennium B.C. to the more recent introduction in the Western world after the 1st century A.D. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Cannabis and its derivatives have been considered as a menace and banned throughout the world, but nowadays, they are still the most widely consumed illicit drugs all over the world. Its legalization in some jurisdictions has been accompanied by new lines of research to investigate its possible applications for medical and therapeutic purposes.

Bringing Virtual Communities into a Marketing Strategy to Create Purchase Intentions in the Social Media Era
Authors: Fitri Ayuni Risca
Published: May 2020

Introduction/main objectives: A virtual community is a new form of social interaction that provides an alternative way for connectivity and creativity. As the most favorite platform, social networking site is one of marketing objectives and strategies for global brands. The purpose of this study is to examine the antecedents (social eWOM, image, and trust) and consequences (purchase intention) of eWOM’s adoption. Background problem: Today, taking part in virtual communities is a must. People with the same interests share their experiences and become trustworthy referees for others. Understanding the effect virtual communities can have will help companies to expand their markets. Novelty: Social eWOM has a great impact, but no prior studies have examined the effect of social eWOM or a virtual community on image, trust, eWOM‘s adoption and purchase intentions, this study would be the first study that provides a comprehensive model using recent issues. Research methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit 240 active participants in virtual communities in Indonesia. To collect the data, spreading questionnaire was conducted. SPSS and PLS 3 were used to analyze the data. Findings: The findings proved the relationship among social eWOM, image and trust. It also revealed that eWOM’s adoption affected purchase intentions. Surprisingly, image has no statistically significant effect on eWOM’s adoption. Conclusion: Well-managed social eWOM creates a better image, and increases trust, and eWOM’s adoption leads to an increase in the purchase intention. This study offers managerial insights to manage social eWOM from any virtual communities, to improve their image and trust. Finally, managers should maintain positive reviews, as this will also create an intention to purchase.
Do the Characteristics of Internal Audits and Compliance Functions Affect Sharia Compliance?
Authors: Puspitasari Laili Latifah , Handayani Wuri
Published: May 2020

Introduction: This study aims to explore the relationship between the characteristics of an internal audit (IA) and a compliance function (CF) toward sharia compliance. Background Problems: The Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB), which is supposed to guarantee sharia compliance in Islamic banking, does not function properly. Consequently, the SSB delegates this supervision to the banks’ employees, so the compliance function and internal audit become common practices used to address any issues. Novelty: The majority of previous studies have examined the role/characteristics of the SSB in sharia compliance. On the other hand, few studies have examined the role/characteristics of IA and CF in sharia compliance. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the characteristics of IA and CF toward sharia compliance. Research Method: The study utilized the seven Islamic banks in Indonesia which published their annual reports for the period from 2011 to 2018 as its research sample. The analysis technique used in this study is a multiple regression analysis. Results: The results indicated that IA and CF competencies had a positive effect toward the sharia compliance of Islamic banks in Indonesia. Conclusion: It is necessary to enhance the competencies of IA and CF staff through improving their professional qualifications, such as through education programs, certification and relevant training on the scope of sharia supervision. Such actions need to be done to support IA and CF staff in performing the comprehensive supervision of sharia compliance.
Mobilitas Permanen: Backpacking sebagai Karier Subkultural Kaum Muda Nomad Kontemporer
Authors: Madya Sidiq Hari
Published: May 2020

Backpacking seems to become a cultural symbol of contemporary youth nomadism. Backpackers arrange their own trip with more flexible itinerary and construction of identity that often opposes tourists’ identity. The characteristics of their travel makes backpacker capable of forming their own travel subculture. By interviewing 15 Indonesian backpackers and intensively observing their travel journeys posted online in backpacker forum and their social media pages, this study explores the backpacking activity as a potential for subcultural career among today’s traveling youth. Three types of backpacker subcultural career are identified under the headline of open trip, endorsed trip and business trip. This finding contributes to enrich backpacker discussion in the frame of traveling as a work activity.

Authors: Ubbes Valerie A. , Witter Abby M. , Kraska Carly M. , Justus Ellen E.
Published: May 2020

The purpose of the study was to evaluate an oral health curriculum called an eBook for Oral Health Literacy© to determine its effectiveness for promoting child health. A secondary purpose was to describe and explain the design characteristics of readability, suitability, understandability, and actionability of the 17 chapters of the eBook. A third purpose was to conduct evaluations on verbatim representations (or literal facts) that are presented in the eBook chapters, including the gist representations that are not explicitly presented but inferred by the reader from the chapter information. Results found that the eBook for Oral Health Literacy© had acceptable, and in many cases, favorable scores, for the five design elements of readability, suitability, understandability, actionability, and gist comprehension. Ongoing dissemination of the eBook for Oral Health Literacy© curriculum has the potential to boost children who are “learning to read” and “reading to learn” about oral health hygiene and nutrition. Future studies should use one or more chapters from the curriculum as an intervention to test this educational premise as an explanatory basis for functional health literacy.

Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Local Area Unemployment Statistics series, patterns in the monthly seasonally adjusted unemployment rates of the 50 states and the District of Columbia are examined. The study focuses on two unemployment-related issues. First, the relationship between a state’s unemployment rate and the U.S. unemployment rate is examined. Second, we explore the extent to which a state’s geographic location, using Census regions and Census divisions, affects its monthly unemployment rate.
ELAnatsui, Visual Arts and Intersection with Knowledge
Authors: Graves, Ph.D P. Nelson
Published: May 2020

“Natural synthesis” compartmentalized the black art world. This essay unravels how with folkloric gleeEL Anatsui, in a “selective critiquing and re-evaluation of self” dared to “wriggle out” of that quagmire. Thusly, reactivating the dynamic terrain that lives and is animated from within the soul of artists, he forged a new path of creativity. With reappraisals of the intellectual dynamics that forged the artistic substance of the post 1960s; empirical analysis and the engagement of storytelling mechanisms, this essay unreels that artistry. Anatsui, in spite of his accademisisation and art practice, threads a detour to cloth making craft traditions, particularly the Kente weave and its autography; for inspiration. Hence, the “vital and enabling” intellectual paradigm “resumptions, disappearances, and repetitions” makes possible an intersection with arcane knowledge, while the “uniting representation” of the synthesis in the appropriation of Memory and Interview grounds the contexts within which each artwork is experienced. EL’s “non-fixed forms” make visible the temerity of new shapes and forms forged directly from the wellsprings and fecundity of African roots as exemplars of the art of the new dawn (Ben Shahn, 1965:53).A deconstruction of EL’s artworks reveals the groundings of his discourses on assemblages of “Forgotten Biography” and the engagement of “mythopoeia imagination” (Marina Paolo Banchetti-Robino, 2011) in the recalibration of personal expression in language and imageries that inflect spiritual ties to ancestry and the reality of memory. This is sufficient basis for the historical narration of the intersection of visual arts and knowledge.
Microbiomes in the Context of Refrigerated Raw Meat Spoilage
Authors: Johansson Per , Jääskeläinen Elina , Nieminen Timo , Hultman Jenni , Auvinen Petri , Björkroth Katri Johanna
Published: May 2020

Meat spoilage is a complicated biological phenomenon taking place over the course of time. Several factors influence it, mainly external factors related to packaging and storage temperature but also internal ones related to contamination diversity and product ingredients. We conducted genomic studies of specific spoilage organisms (SSO) and investigated the spoilage microbiomes providing information about the factors that make a specific organism a competitive SSO, as well as the interactions between certain SSO and the most active species and pathways in packaged raw meat. Our studies showed that spoilage microbiomes are diverse, but certain aspects, such as oxygen content or added marinades, shape this diversity strongly. We have also characterized a new spoilage-associated pathway, i.e., heme-dependent respiration capability, in Leuconostoc gelidum subsp. gasicomitatum. The microbiome studies we conducted explain why this species has become a competitive SSO. It is a fast grower and gains advantage for its growth if oxygen is present in the packages. Since the contamination of psychrotrophic lactic acid bacteria is difficult to avoid in meat manufacture, leuconostocs cause spoilage problems from time to time especially in marinated products or those packaged under high-oxygen–containing atmospheres.

A  Lei 10.639/2003 é uma das Políticas de Ações Afirmativas que incidiu diretamente na educação para as relações étnico-raciais, visando fomentar nos(as) profissionais da educação novas lentes para o ensino de história e da literatura afro-brasileira, servindo como um dispositivo impulsionador para mobilizar a cidadania e descortinar as práticas racistas ainda presentes nos ambientes educacionais e na sociedade. A produção literária para a infância pode problematizar as relações étnico-raciais? Ela é capaz de contribuir para a valorização e a constituição identitária do/a criança negro/a? Acreditando positivamente, o presente artigo traz à cena o livro Betina, de Nilma Lino Gomes, buscando evidenciar na sua construção textual, em particular por meio do protagonismo negro infantil, um discurso em que os preconceitos raciais são (re)significados possibilitando que ocorra a constituição identitária de negros e negras, desde a infância, sob uma perspectiva desprovida das marcas inferiorizantes advindas do racismo.

Fundación Democrática, Ciudadanía, y Democracia Procedimental. Una Mirada a Centroamérica
Authors: Ocampo Banda Luis E. , Lizarraga Patrón Adolfo
Published: May 2020

Las transiciones democráticas que se desprendieron de los procesos democratizadores en América Latina en la década de los 80, han cumplido casi en su totalidad su desarrollo de etapa primaria, esto es, de consolidar las instituciones que organizan los aspectos procedimentales de las elecciones, asignar un lugar a cada actor político y establecer las reglas del juego para que las contiendas electorales se den en tiempo y forma.

Los resultados no son homogéneos para todos los países latinoamericanos, dado que cada realidad nacional tiene componentes específicos que le imprimen una dinámica particular a cada iniciativa democratizadora. Aunado a ello es necesario puntualizar que no todas las transiciones tuvieron el mismo perfil sino que, de acuerdo a las características del país, la situación que prevalecía políticamente en el interior de la nación y relación de los actores políticos entre sí fue lo que dio el sello y perfil de la transición; de acuerdo a Garreton, algunas tuvieron el carácter fundacional, otras de lo militar a gobierno cívico y la de extensión o afianzamiento

El presente trabajo pretende analizar el papel de la filosofía y de los movimientos sociales en Venezuela durante 1990-2010 ante los desafíos de las políticas neoliberales. La metodología que se utilizará es la hermenéutica para comprender e interpretar los hechos más representativos acontecidos en la Venezuela de finales del siglo XX e inicio del siglo XXI y el papel que ha jugado la filosofía y los distintos movimientos sociales en nuestra sociedad en la era neoliberal. En esta investigación se concluye  que los acontecimientos del Caracazo de 1989 y el inicio de la Revolución Bolivariana de 1999, constituyen dos hitos de la historia reciente venezolana que sin lugar a dudas han tenido su impronta en el desarrollo del debate filosófico nacional actual.
El Intercambio Simbólico y las Antinomias de la Economía de Mercado
Authors: Velásquez Forero Augusto
Published: May 2020

La posibilidad de otras economías diferentes a las estructuras microeconómicas impartidas por la racionalidad instrumental neoclásica saltan a la vista desde el momento en que culturalmente los científicos sociales se empiezan a preocupar por el estudio de las prácticas autárquicas de las comunidades indígenas, campesinas, afro descendientes, gremiales y familiares. Las experiencias de la cotidianidad en los procesos de intercambio mercantil de estos conglomerados humanos se afianzan en esquemas de comercio que no están atravesados por la lógica del mercado occidental (competencia perfecta, monopolio, competencia monopolística y oligopolio) e incluso ni por la supremacía del dinero –mercancías sagradas, la fiesta, la reciprocidad, el sacrificio el don-, porque sus intenciones posiblemente están superando la tendencia agresiva de la acumulación del capital (Marx, 1867/1977; 1844/1993) prevaleciente en la sociedad mercantil moderna. Como las categorías de la «premodernidad» vs la «modernidad» están todavía ausentes en el imaginario de estas colectividades, lo más usual para comprender el desarrollo de sus vínculos económicos es empezar por reconocerlas dentro de los espacios de la autenticidad, sin que esto implique una ruptura de orden mitológico ni epistémico para su permanencia en el tiempo. Aceptar otras posibles economías –emotivas, morales, de la razón–, diferentes a la racionalidad instrumental de occidente, es un gran paso para comprender nuestra existencia multicultural, a pesar de las contradicciones en que el capitalismo salvaje nos ha mantenido durante mucho tiempo.
Carnaval y Sociedad Anómica Colombiana en la Carroza de Bolívar de Evelio Rosero Diago
Authors: Verdugo Ponce Jorge
Published: May 2020

Dentro del listado de nuevas novelas históricas colombianas, se publica a comienzos del año 2012 la novela La carroza de Bolívar de Evelio Rosero Diago, escritor de ascendencia nariñense, obra que revela en el sur la compleja realidad de la sociedad colombiana en permanente crisis debido a su fundación a deshora, construida sobre una enorme mentira, la del Bolívar gran militar preocupado por la moralidad pública, y cuyo nefasto ejemplo dado por el “mal llamado Libertador” fundó lo que sería con el tiempo la cultura política colombiana, según la afirmación que hace el doctor Justo Pastor Proceso López, afamado ginecólogo de la ciudad de Pasto, lugar donde se desarrollan los acontecimientos en plena fiesta de carnaval de Blancos y Negros entre el 28 de diciembre de 1966 y hasta el 6 de enero del 67, personaje éste que pretende desarrollar en su vida, por una parte, un proyecto político denunciando, a la manera de Sañudo con sus Estudios sobre la vida de Bolívar, las mentiras dichas sobre Bolívar, y para lo cual patrocinará una carroza con su figura para recordar a la gente del sur su historia pasada, además de su otro proyecto consistente en conseguir el amor de su mujer y el cariño de sus hijas, proyectos que se desarrollarán paralelamente en la historia de la novela, y que terminarán con el asesinato del médico por parte de una célula del ejército de liberación nacional que, a través de su accionar contradictorio, busca limpiar la honra de Bolívar, supuestamente difamada por el protagonista.

La visión carnavalizada del mundo que ofrece el texto y gracias a la cual se permiten algunas libertades que posibilitarán el desarrollo de los proyectos de vida del médico, revelarán la condición de una sociedad anómica generalizada, esto es la existencia de un Estado anómico como lo es el colombiano y, por supuesto, la sociedad del sur del país, regida por una normatividad desprestigiada que contribuye a su desinstitucionalización, y cuyas causas se remontan a los orígenes mismos de fundación de la patria y ante lo cual, recordando el pasado de la región y el cronotopo idílico en el que moraban sus habitantes, se busca recobrar lo perdido, esto es, una forma de vida armoniosa y justa libre de vejámenes y mentiras. Rosero adopta una posición ideológica suprapartidista en su evaluación de la realidad colombiana lo que le permite llevar a cabo su propuesta a través de la verdad de revelación propia del trabajo estético.

Transport Problem in the Transnistrian Settlement: “Coercive Diplomacy” Instead of “Small-step Tactics”
Authors: Shevchuk N. V.
Published: May 2020

The author analyzes new complications that have arisen in the Moldovan-Transdnistrian process, highlighting the problem concerning freedom of movement of people, goods and services and showing the reasons that led to the exchange of so-called transport sanctions. Particular attention in the article is paid to the Ukrainian factor and the issue of organizing a joint Modavan-Ukrainian border and customs control on the Transdnistrian section of the border. According to the author, the suspension of mutual transport sanctions by the parties to the aggrieved parties is temporary, and the unilateral change made byMoldovain current regime of foreign economic activity of the Transdnistria's economic entities will serve as a new impetus for the escalation of the conflict. Moldova will use the innovation as a “stick” in order to encourage Transdnistrian enterprises to transfer transdnistrians also to the transport jurisdiction of Moldova, that is, to obtain Moldovan license plates, Moldovan driver’s licenses and other related documents to replace Transdnistrian ones. In addition, the author comes to the conclusion that the role ofRussiais weakening in the process of normalization of the Transdnistrian-Moldavian relations and in the conflict region.

How deferred revenue changes impact future financial performance
Authors: Baker H. Kent , Satt Harit , Atmounia Fadi , El Fadel Basma
Published: May 2020

This study examines the potential predictive power of changes in deferred revenues on future profitability based on evidence from the region of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It examines whether financial analysts should consider deferred revenues as useful information when evaluating a firm’s future profitability. A pooled OLS regression is used to test the relation. The observations of different companies from various periods are combined into a pooled sample of observations consisting of data from the 500 largest companies in the MENA in terms of market share. Aligned with the existing literature, the findings reveal that changes in deferred revenues are a predictive tool for future financial performance as proven by the positive correlation with the growth of future annual sales, gross profit margin, net profit margin, return on asset, and Tobin’s Q. Testing for this impact adds to the literature given various robustness tests under different circumstances and economic conditions.
The effectiveness of the market-based environmental policy mix in the European Union
Authors: Raguz-Kristic Irena , Simurina Jurica
Published: May 2020

The goal of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the environmental taxes and emissions trading in achieving cleaner production, that is, higher production per unit of emissions in the European Union (EU). The hypothesis of the paper is that the combined use of taxes and emission permits yields synergistic benefits in addition to their individual contributions. The paper uses panel analysis on the EU27 data from 2005 to 2012. The analysis does not robustly find positive effects from the interaction of these policy instruments, but it confirms that there are no negative ones. Additional interesting results are that, on average, (i) the effects of both instruments on production cleanliness are more beneficial at the regulated industries than at the national level, (ii) emissions trading is more effective than taxes, (iii) both instruments are more effective in the EU15 than in the EU12, and (iv) crisis did not significantly affect production cleanliness in the EU.

Generation characteristics and possibilities of autodyne reception in single-mode CO2 lasers with pulse-periodic pumping of the active medium used in laser medical installations were studied. The objects of study were the following CO2 lasers: Diamond C-30 by Coherent (USA); 48-2W by Synrad (USA); D-30 by Davi (China). It is shown that the СО2 laser D-30 has the highest long-term radiation stability with significantly low short-term radiation stability (39 ± 10%). The CO2 laser 48-2W has the highest short-term radiation stability (0.62%). The amplitude-frequency characteristics and features of autodyne reception of backscattered radiation for these lasers were studied. The possibility of registration of backscattered radiation by autodyne detection in the process of laser dissection of fat and muscle tissue of a pig in vitro was studied. The obtained results can be used for the development of smart laser surgical systems with feedback.

La brucelosis es una enfermedad infectocontagiosa zoonótica de curso crónico y de distribución mundial.En los perros suele ser causada por B. canis; sin embargo, la B. abortus, asociada con el bovino infectadoha sido descripta en perros, tanto en la forma experimental como en condiciones de campo. Latransmisión de perros a humanos también es posible. En esta comunicación se describe, por primera vez,en Argentina, la detección de anticuerpos contra B. abortus en una población de perros en contacto conzonas rurales. Se analizaron 67 muestras de sueros de perros, de los cuales 26,8 % fueron positivos paraB. abortus mediante la técnica de aglutinación con antígeno tamponado, 7,5 % se confirmaron comopositivos mediante las pruebas de aglutinación lenta en tubos y 4,5 % resultaron positivos mediante laprueba de fluorescencia polarizada. Los perros reaccionantes a B. abortus tuvieron contacto con ganadobovino seropositivo a brucelosis o eran perros de zona urbana que convivían con perros que habíanconcurrido a la zona rural. La eliminación de bovinos seropositivos no necesariamente puede erradicar labrucelosis. Se necesitarían más acciones de manejo para lograrlo, como evitar el contacto directo conperros e impedir la transmisión entre especies.
ANALECTA VETERINARIA en tiempos de pandemia

ANALECTA VETERINARIA, órgano oficial de comunicación científica de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, ya ha cumplido 115 años desde su creación, con el nombre de “Revista de la Facultad de Agronomía y Veterinaria de La Plata”, y 50 años desde la instauración de su actual denominación. Hoy, como antaño, Analecta Veterinaria se compromete con el saber científico en el área de las ciencias veterinarias, sea este correspondiente a conocimientos básicos, como aquellos que se relacionan con las prácticas clínicas, la producción agropecuaria y los alimentos destinados al consumo humano y animal.

La pandemia del COVID­19 ha golpeado, en mayor o en menor medida, sobre cada puerta de nuestro planeta y ha cambiado, en poco tiempo, muchos de los aspectos de nuestras vidas. Las prácticas profesionales se han visto reducidas y los laboratorios de investigación prácticamente están cerrados. Ante esta situación, los resultados que se puedan obtener en los próximos meses surgirán, mayoritariamente, del análisis de los datos obtenidos con anterioridad a la declaración de la pandemia o de los que obtengan aquellos grupos beneficiados a través de los subsidios otorgados por organismos gubernamentales o privados para afrontar la situación epidemiológica.

A partir de todo evento desafortunado surgen las ideas más brillantes para sobrellevarlo y esta pandemia no está exenta de ese principio. Día a día se leen artículos en revistas científicas que proponen nuevos o antiguos tratamientos para combatir al coronavirus. Con una celeridad nunca antes vista estamos conociendo nuevos aspectos de la enfermedad y diferentes grupos de investigadores de diferentes partes del mundo se aúnan para potenciar sus conocimientos. Sin embargo, es tiempo de ser responsables. Es fundamental que los resultados que se pretendan publicar hayan sido científicamente consolidados bajo las estrictas normas del método científico y los estándares de la ética que la situación requiere. Generar conocimiento científico es un proceso lento y tedioso, el que finalmente requiere del rigor de la aceptación por parte de pares.

Desde ANALECTA VETERINARIA instamos a seguir trabajando en beneficio de la ciencia, cada uno en su área específica, dando lo mejor de sí. La pandemia del coronavirus es coyuntural, aún no ha finalizado o su final es incierto, pero nos dejará una enseñanza: debemos estar preparados científicamente para afrontar cualquier situación emergente.

Published: May 2020

Kentleşmede doğal afet potansiyelinin ve olası etkilerinin önceden belirlenmesi önem arz etmektedir. Ülkemizde
en sık görülen afetlerden olan heyelan, mühendislik yapılarını ve çevreyi olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada,
İzmir ili, Karabağlar ilçesi sınırlarındaki heyelanların mühendislik jeolojisi özellikleri incelenerek, yenilme kriterleri
değerlendirilmiştir. İnceleme alanında Üst Kretase yaşlı Bornova Karmaşığı üzerinde uyumsuz Miyosen yaşlı killi
kireçtaşı ile Kuvaterner yamaç molozu bulunmaktadır. Arazide heyelanların boyutları belirlenerek, kayma yüzeyi
derinlikleri ile yeraltı suyu seviyesini ölçmek için derinlikleri 10.0 m ile 35.0 m arasında değişen 52 adet sondaj
yapılmıştır. İnceleme alanını oluşturan Şamlı Tepe’nin güney, batı ve kuzey kesimlerinde toplam 58 adet heyelan
belirlenmiştir. Heyelanlar, Miyosen yaşlı karbonatlı seviyeler ile çakıl, kum ve silt mercekleri bulunduran kil içerisinde
gelişmiştir. Heyelanların kabarma ve akma bölgelerinde daha küçük boyutlu çok sayıda ikincil yenilmeler mevcuttur.
Heyelanlarda geriye dönük analizler yapılarak limit denge şartlarındaki rezidüel içsel sürtünme açısı ve rezidüel
kohezyon belirlenmiştir. Şamlı Tepe ve güneyindeki yol kazısında geçmişte topuktan yük alınması ve K-G doğrultulu
dere yatağının aşındırması ile düşük kotlarda başlayan yenilmeler kuzeye doğru gerileyerek daha büyük çaptaki
heyelanı tetiklemiştir. Şevlerde statik koşul yanında inceleme alanının depremselliği de dikkate alınarak psödostatik
analizler yapılmıştır. Güvenlik katsayısı ile psödostatik katsayı ilişkisi incelenerek, analizlerde limit denge koşulunu
sağlayan katsayı 0.10 olarak belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen değer inceleme alanı ve çevresindeki en büyük yatay yer
ivmesi ile beraber değerlendirildiğinde ileride yapılacak şev duraylılığı çalışmalarında kullanılabilecek niteliktedir.
A Meta-Analysis of User Perception and Use of Online Digital Platforms in Kenya: Evidence from E-citizen Platform, Kenya
Authors: Morrisson Kaunda Mutuku (PhD)
Published: May 2020

This paper sought to establish the effect of user perception on use of online digital platforms in Kenya with evidence from e-citizen platform in Kenya. This paper conducted a desktop analysis of published papers on user perceptions and the adoption of e-citizen platforms in Kenya. The results revealed that user perception has a significant effect on the adoption and use of online digital platforms. The findings further showed that in various ways that user perceptions especially on digital platforms security and privacy, usefulness, ease of use, complexity, speed, efficiency, and affordability among others significantly influenced the adoption and use of e-citizen platforms in Kenya.

There is a need for awareness campaigns among the target users. Because of various experiences the user have had with other online platforms, implementers of new platforms have a role to play in changing the use perceptions that targeted user may have due to previous interactions. The increase in the cases of cyber-crimes where malicious people have access to people's personal data has eroded many people's confidence and trust in the online platforms, hence it is a responsibility of the government to guarantee users of these online platforms of their security and privacy to increase adoption and use.

This essay is another journey in the magnetic nature of fundamental movement with emphasis on how and why magnets are attracted and repelled from one another. And the relation of how movement for its mode and direction comes to so many different outcomes. And a rehearsal in how and by what we come to interpret movement into all that exists for us.
