The composition of leukocytes includes monocytes/macrophages and lymphocytes - cells, inflammation and infiltration of which is an important event in the pathogenesis of diabetes and related complications. The enzyme immunoassay method determined in leukocytes the level of threonine 172 phosphorylation (activation) of 5’adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which controls the cell energy balance, in the combined treatment of patients with with insulin, metformin, gliklazidy MR and g, and the rats of heart and glyclaside MR and chromploidine, and ga; The level of threonine 172 phosphorylation (activation) of 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), controlling the energy balance of the cell, at combination treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with insulin, metformin, gliclazide and dapagliflozin was determined in blood cells by enzyme immunoassay. It has been shown that metformin drugs increase the activity of AMPK in the blood cells of patients with T2D more than 3-6 times compared with patients before treatment. Insulin and its analogue completely suppress AMPK activity, induced by metformin in the leucocytes of patients with T2D, which may indicate a decrease in the therapeutic effect of metformin. Gliclazide MR increases the activity of AMPK in blood mononuclear cells. In the presence of both metformin and gliclazide, the level of AMPK phosphorylation is reduced. The mechanism of activation of AMPK by gliclazide probably related to the effect of the latter on Ерас2А. Dapagliflozin increases the activity of AMPK and enhances the effect of metformin in the leucocytes of patients with T2D. AMPK activity in blood cells can serve as one of the indicators of the effectiveness of the hypoglycemic drugs action. The mechanisms of drug interaction and the consequences of their antagonism are discussed.

The article is devoted to the results of the theoretical and experimental investigations on the development of the optimal formulation of the pharmaceutical composition based on Kathiazin and Succinic acid in the solid gelatinous capsules. The glutaminic acid has been introduced into the pharmaceutical composition to improve the bioavailability of the succinic acid. The content of active pharmaceutical substances has been determined. The single dose of Kathiazin is 120 mg, succinic and glutaminic acids — 100 mg. The kind of auxiliary substances used in modern pharmaceutical technology of the solid dosage forms has been grounded according to the literature data. The pharmacotechnological testing of the active pharmaceutical ingredients and auxiliary substances used in our research work has been carried out. The pharmaco-technological properties of the substances investigated according to the articles of State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine (2 edition) have been estimated. The assessment of obtained data allowed to elaborate the composition of the experimental capsules masses. The flowability, bulk density, angle of repose, compressibility index and Hausner ratio of the mixtures created have been investigated due to requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine. On the base of scientific researching the most perspective pharmaceutical composition with excellent values of the flowability, angle of repose, bulk density, compressibility index and Hausner ratio has been chosen. This composition contains mannitol as the basic excipients for capsules mass. The silicon dioxide colloidal (Aerosil®) is considered to be glidant substance which provides excellent flowability. As the result of the pharmaco-technological researches the qualitative and quantitative composition of the combined capsules based on Kathiazin and succinic acid has been developed. The testing of the pharmaco-technological parameters has proved the composition obtained is suitable to be encapsulated using different types of laboratory and industrial equipment. The elaborated combined dosage form based on Kathiazin and succinic acid may be proposed as a new original medicine with pleiotropic activity for treatment hepatitis of different origin in men with spermatogenesis disturbances.
Investigating the Mechanisms of Graded Sensorimotor Precision Training in Adults With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: Protocol for a Causal Mediation Analysis of the RESOLVE Trial
Authors: Cashin Aidan G , Lee Hopin , Bagg Matthew K , Wand Benedict M , O'Hagan Edel , Rizzo Rodrigo R N , Stanton Tasha R , Moseley G Lorimer , McAuley James H
Published: July 2021

Background

Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a global health problem associated with an increasing burden on individuals, health care systems, and society. Common treatments for people with CLBP produce, on average, small short-term improvements in pain and function compared with minimal care. The RESOLVE trial randomly allocated 276 people with CLBP to a new complex treatment strategy, pain education integrated with graded sensorimotor precision training (RESOLVE), or a sham control. The RESOLVE treatment was developed within a theoretical framework to target possible treatment mechanisms associated with CLBP development and persistence.

Objective

This protocol describes the planned evaluation of these proposed treatment mechanisms. Improved understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the RESOLVE treatment may guide its refinement and implementation.

Methods

We will use causal mediation analysis to evaluate the proposed treatment mechanisms, including pain self-efficacy, back beliefs, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, back perception, tactile acuity, and movement coordination. The primary outcomes are pain intensity and function at 18 weeks following allocation. Data were collected blind to allocation and hypotheses at baseline (mediators, outcomes, confounders), end of treatment (mediators), and at 18 weeks following allocation (outcomes). We will test the robustness of our findings by conducting planned sensitivity analyses.

Results

Ethical approval was granted by the University of New South Wales Human Research Ethics Committee (HC15357). A total of 276 participants have been recruited from primary care practices and the community in Sydney, Australia.

Conclusions

The RESOLVE treatment constitutes a new paradigm for CLBP management with potentially wide-reaching implications. This mechanistic evaluation will provide evidence for the hypothesized treatment mechanisms and help explain why the treatment strategy did or did not have an effect on patient-reported outcomes. These results will help guide the treatment refinement and implementation.

Modeling Attractiveness as a Quality Measurement in Gamified Software (Preprint)
Authors: Minaei-Bidgoli Behrouz , Niroomand Hamid Reza , Aghayusufi Alireza
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Video games have attracted noticeable attention, especially in recent years. In 2018, the game industry achieved a larger market than video and music combined for the first time ever. As a result, a group of experts decided to take advantage of the attraction of video games in other computer software. Their efforts formed a concept called “Gamification”. Although an increasing number of studies have been conducted on video games, a few of them have investigated the attractiveness of this type of game. Due to a lack of research on this area, game makers and gamifiers are confused about what attraction to invest in. In this study, we have introduced a model for ranking attractiveness in video games. We created an online game with four attractions: visual attraction, audio attraction, interactivity attraction, and puzzle attraction. Users of different ages were invited to play the game, and we measured the total time each user spent on the game, and we compared the groups by one-way ANOVA test. The results revealed a significant difference between different attractions, and finally, we could order these four attractions based on the means plot of the groups.

Finally, drawing Means Plot, we were able to sort attractions based on their impact on user satisfaction and introduce a model called PGAI, which determines the priority of attractions from the users' point of view.
Digital Interventions for Emotion Regulation in Children and Early Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Reynard Sally , Dias Joao , Mitic Marija , Schrank Beate , Woodcock Kate Anne
Published: July 2021

BACKGROUND

Difficulties in emotion regulation are common in adolescence and associated with poor social and mental health outcomes. However, psychological therapies that promote adaptive emotion regulation may be inaccessible and unattractive to youth. Digital interventions may help address this need.

OBJECTIVE

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, evidence on the efficacy, feasibility and acceptability of emotion regulation digital interventions in children and early adolescents aged 8-14 years was synthesised.

METHODS

Systematic searches of Web of Science, Medline, PsychINFO, EMBASE, Education Resources Information Centre, ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore up to July 2020 identified 39 studies, 11 of which were included in the meta-analyses. A bespoke tool was used to assess risk of bias across the diverse methodologies in the included studies.

RESULTS

Studies evaluated digital games (n = 27), biofeedback (n = 4), virtual/augmented reality (n = 4) and programme/multimedia (n = 4) digital interventions in diagnosed, at-risk, healthy and universal samples. The most consistent evidence came from digital games, which reduced negative emotional experience with a small significant effect, largely in youth at-risk of anxiety (g = -0.19, [-0.34, -0.04]). In general, digital interventions tended to improve emotion regulation, but this effect was not significant (g = 0.19, [-0.16, 0.54]). Most feasibility issues were identified in diagnosed youth and acceptability was generally high across intervention types/samples.

CONCLUSIONS

Although there is cause to be optimistic about digital interventions supporting the difficulties youth experience in emotion regulation, the predominance of early stage development studies highlights the need for more work in this area.

Mediante el uso de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM), en este artículo presentamos nueva evidencia de la sensibilidad de la brecha tributaria de Colombia a la evasión tributaria entre 1987 y 2018. Al formular tres variables latentes conexas a la evasión tributaria: 1) inestabilidad macroeconómica (EIM), 2) incumplimiento en el impuesto sobre la renta (EIRC) y 3) economía sumergida (ESE) se evidencia el impacto en el ingreso público tributario (IPT), revelando la urgencia de proponer mecanismos proactivos que reduzcan la brecha tributaria (BT).

 

ESTIMATION OF COLOMBIA’S TAX GAP: PROACTIVE MEASURES TO REDUCE IT

ABSTRACT

Using a Structural Equation Model (SEM) new evidence of the sensitivity of tax gap in Colombia, as a consequence of tax evasion between 1970 and 2018, is here presented. While formulating three latent variables related to tax evasion: 1) macroeconomic instability (EIM), 2) non-compliance with income tax (EIRC) and 3) underground economy (ESE), the impact on public tax revenue (IPT) is shown, revealing the urgency of proposing proactive mechanisms to reduce the tax gap.
expulsión de los chinos de Sinaloa (1919-1935)
Authors: Cárdenas García Nicolás
Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar un movimiento popular contra los inmigrantes chinos en Sinaloa, desde los intentos por debilitarlos y segregarlos, hasta la exigencia de su expulsión, so pretexto de que ejercían una competencia desleal contra los trabajadores y pequeños empresarios mexicanos, y evitar la degeneración de la raza mexicana. El argumento principal de este artículo es que los líderes de ese movimiento se sentían marginados del reparto y ejercicio del poder político revolucionario, pero a la vez actuaron bajo el amplio paraguas ideológico-simbólico creado por los revolucionarios para legitimar su dominación. Ellos querían participar del poder, pero también decidir quiénes tenían derecho a formar parte del nuevo proyecto nacional, de manera que combinaron el racismo con el nacionalismo prevaleciente en su programa y prácticas.

Published: July 2021

Este artigo investiga o inconsciente de diferentes grupos de alunos quanto a aceitação dos métodos de custeio variável e absorção, observando-se os potenciais efeitos do nível de estratégias metacognitivas de aprendizagem autorregulada utilizadas pelos alunos. Pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa, foi realizada junto a 186 alunos de Ciências Contábeis de três IES do Estado de Santa Catarina. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam que nem todos os estudantes participantes da pesquisa mudaram sua postura ao longo do curso. A formação docente contribuiu para que em todos os casos as médias relacionadas as diferentes concepções dos alunos aumentassem, indicando maior aderência aos preceitos do custeio variável após o curso da disciplina de contabilidade de custos, o que não foi observado entre todos os discentes da amostra. Esta mudança também não foi percebida de maneira uniforme no grupo de estudantes que já possui experiência profissional na área contábil, resultado que sugere a existência de um tipo específico de inconsciente coletivo relacionado ao uso de sistemas de contabilidade baseados na contabilidade financeira. Os achados desta pesquisa também indicam que há uma mudança de comportamento dos alunos quanto ao desenvolvimento de estratégias metacognitivas de aprendizagem autorregulada. Tais evidências sugerem que a formação de diferentes inconscientes coletivos está associada de maneira distinta a compreensão adequada dos conceitos relacionados aos métodos de custeio variável e por absorção, sendo que: formação docente, práticas de ensino, ênfase na abordagem dos conteúdos, experiência profissional na área contábil e estratégias metacognitivas de aprendizagem autorregulada são variáveis que contribuem para seu entendimento.

Chinese Gretchen in Russian Literature: on the Genesis and Attribution of M. Shkapskaya’s Poetry Book Tsa-Tsa-Tsa
Authors: Litvinova Olga N.
Published: July 2021

This article examines in detail Maria Shkapskayas poetry book Tsa-Tsa- Tsa (1923) and its handwritten genesis. It explains the role and significance of ancient Chinese poetry for this literary piece of work. The problem is to attribute the texts that make up the book and find out their translated or stylized basis. The general thesis is that all the poetic texts of the book are translations: the names of Tao-Yuan-Ming, Du Fu, and Bo-Juyi indicated by Shkapskaya in the manuscripts are reported. One of the texts in the book is attributed as the Sixth Poem from the Shi ju gu shi ( Nineteen Ancient Poems ). The removal of the names of Chinese authors (not only in the book published in 1923 but also in the manuscript of 1921) and the alignment of the thematic word series silk, crane, thousand, spring that organize the book into a single text indicate a tendency to blur the border of the own-alien text (even though the book was treated by the author as translation from the Chinese, in autobiographies and correspondence). This trend leads to the appearance of a central artistic image of the book (it is a feature of M. Shkapskayas poetic books). It is the image of a lonely, longing woman. The mention of the spinning wheel connects this image with the popular (especially in Western European literature) image of Gretchen. This way the poetry book Tsa-Tsa-Tsa goes beyond the narrowly translated work and reveals some features of chronologically later literary trends (such as postmodernism and metapoesis).
Russkoye Bogatstvo (Russian Wealth): Narodniki’s Magazine and the World Economic Crisis of 2020
Authors: Shevtsov Nikita V. , Algavi Leila O.
Published: July 2021

Russia was proud of Russkoye Bogatstvo (Russian Wealth) magazine for a long while. It was among the most reputable and influential periodicals in the country. Not only had many Russians known of the magazine, but they were also its dedicated readers. On the one hand, the interest in Russkoye Bogatstvo could have been justified by the excellent selection of its authors among the best Russian writers and scientists. On the other hand, its publishers were Russias most famous critics, publicists, and outstanding literary figures recognized in the cultural and scientific circles. The magazine publications stood out due to their excellent style and availability for people of various social levels: both educated readers and those without profound knowledge of literature, science, and arts. The readers pool included older and experienced people and very young students. Later, the name of the magazine became a symbol of the great intellectual wealth of Russia.
Linguocultural Organization of the International Broadcasting in Russia Today
Authors: Efendieva Nailya E.
Published: July 2021

In modern political and socio-cultural realities, a special role and importance are assigned to international broadcasting as a technology for positioning a content-producing country in the external environment, i. e. the global media space. The subject of this study is the explication of the specifics of the linguocultural organization of international broadcasting. The experience of Russia Today was taken as the flagship of international broadcasting in the Russian segment of the media space, through its activities influencing the formation of the geopolitical situation in the modern globalizing world. A complex of methods was used: historical and political analysis, structural analysis, contextual analysis, secondary analysis of sociological and statistical data. The empirical base was made up of four editions of the Sputnik Agency (Sputnik International, Sputnik Polska, Sputnik Trkiye, and Sputnik Belarus), representing various linguocultures - with differentiated ethnic and religious characteristics that have not only linguistic but also cultural manifestations in general. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that the linguocultural organization of international broadcasting is considered as a means of implementing the diplomatic mission of the state-broadcaster with soft power tools in the globalizing world. It is based on the representation of positioning content, taking into account ethnicity, religion together with the linguistic and cultural characteristics of the audience. Both the effectiveness of promoting program statements and ideas and strengthening the countrys geopolitics depend on the degree of linguocultural orientation of international broadcasting activities.

The Chinese languages journalistic style has its unique linguistic features that give us a basis for a better understanding of Chinese media texts. The research is carried out due to the necessity to identify the specifics and distinguishing features of the stylistic system of the Chinese language, in particular, the journalistic style, which is a kind of literary written Chinese language and is widely used in almost all mass media. The results introduce new data into the process of learning the functional styles of the Chinese language, and will also contribute to a better understanding of the structure, culture of the language, and content of Chinese media texts in terms of their lexical content.
Albanian Digital Communications: Some Aspects of Development
Authors: Mahamutaj Blerina
Published: July 2021

Internet communications in Albania are developing according to a special scenario. It is explained by the countrys long international isolation and, accordingly, the late arrival of digitalization in this European state. The author notes the high level of currently provided Internet services: Albania is ahead of the leading countries in some indicators. However, this breakthrough is taking place against the background of the generally low level of education of the Albanians and low incomes of the population, so the supply does not match the demand, it overtakes it. A separate problem is the large amount of false information that goes from social networks to online media. The immediate urgent task that the Albanian media community will have to solve is increasing media literacy and regulating the Internet (either through users self-control or with the help of the state).
Consumo de alimentos en el Colegio y Universidad de Santo Tomás de Aquino, 1733-1755
Authors: Sanchez Coral Ramiro Alonso
Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es estudiar algunos aspectos del consumo de alimentos en el Colegio y Universidad de Santo Tomás de Aquino en la ciudad de Santafé, entre 1733-1737 y 1751-1755. Este trabajo pretende abordar de manera central la información relacionada con el consumo de alimentos que eran comprados y que se encuentran registrados en el libro de gastos de la institución. El estudio presenta dos constataciones significativas para el estudio del consumo y la vida cotidiana en el Nuevo Reino de Granada: la primera, sobre la composición detallada del gasto en alimentos registrado en los libros contables de una comunidad educativa religiosa; en segundo lugar, que la frecuencia y el consumo de algunos productos específicos no dependían solo de las posibilidades del mercado, sino también del contexto cultural institucional, siendo uno de los aspectos más importantes el marco de creencias religiosas de la orden de los dominicos.
Los primeros años de la encomienda de indios del valle de Copiapó a través de la visita de Santillán al reino de Chile en 1558

Published: July 2021

Este artículo estudia la encomienda de indios del valle de Copiapó, en Chile, a mediados del siglo xvi, mediante una visita y tasa realizada en 1558 durante el gobierno de don García Hurtado de Mendoza por el oidor de la Audiencia de Lima don Hernando de Santillán. El análisis de dicho documento nos permitirá ver cómo la economía colonial local, orientada hacia la explotación de los yacimientos auríferos del reino de Chile, se desarrolló en desmedro de la encomienda de Copiapó.
La alimentación cárnica durante los siglos xvi-xvii en Guayascate, Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: López María Laura , Grana Romina
Published: July 2021

En este trabajo el aporte de dos disciplinas afines, la etnohistoria y la arqueología, habilita el diálogo sobre los procesos culturales ligados a la alimentación en el paraje histórico de Guayascate (Córdoba, Argentina) durante el periodo colonial temprano (siglos xvi y xvii). El objetivo es comunicar la información sobre el recurso cárnico, con base en registros documentales y con apoyo de datos zooarqueológicos, los cuales permitieron arriesgar algunas conjeturas sobre cuál ha sido el universo de disponibilidades alimenticias de los nativos y de los españoles en la región. Los ovicápridos y los vacunos acusan presencia  y aceptabilidad en ambos grupos, sin embargo, la aceptación por parte de los indígenas no parece haber alterado el significado de identidad en el comensalismo doméstico y comunitario.
Una frontera ¿imposible?: los conflictos hispanoportugueses en el sur de América y la expedición a Río Grande de San Pedro (1773)
Authors: Cherubini María Belén
Published: July 2021

Este trabajo propone un nuevo aporte al estudio de los conflictos de la frontera hispanoportuguesa en la región de Río Grande en la segunda mitad del siglo xviii. Para ello, se analiza la expedición comandada desde Buenos Aires por Juan José de Vértiz en 1773, desde una perspectiva renovada por la incorporación de nuevas fuentes y por los avances historiográficos recientes. Esto permite visibilizar los límites de la acción imperial en aquel espacio fronterizo disputado, donde era muy difícil materializar con una línea divisoria el poder y la soberanía pretendidos por ambas coronas. Se concluye que la frontera que la expedición estableció provisoriamente no era el resultado de la geografía, la diplomacia o la guerra, sino de las limitaciones que los imperios encontraban para proyectarse en áreas como esa.
Tarikh Miladi Sepadan bagi Kenampakan Hilal Ramadan Dalam Hadis Kurayb RA Berkaitan Matla’
Authors: Rodzali Muhamad Zakuwa , Man Saadan
Published: July 2021

Ḥadīth Kurayb RA about him being sent by Umm al-Fadl from Madīnah to Sham, is one of the main chronicles of the Shāfi‘i School regarding the outcomes of rukyah hilal which is applicable to the same maṭla’ only. This ḥadīth is narrated in most ḥadīth books including Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, Sunan alTirmidhī, Abū Dāwud, al-Nasā’ī, al-Bayhaqī, alDaruqutnī, Musnad Ahmad bin Ḥanbāl and Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaymah, the isnads are authentic and the narrators are thiqah. The reality today is that the appreciation of the ḥadīth is difficult to fulfil; although the distance from Madinah to Sham is only around 1055 kilometers it is considered ineffectual to employ the outcomes of rukyah in Sham. However, it is important to have a matching Gregorian date on the appearance of the Ramadan hilal so that the date stated in the ḥadīth could be confirmed. Thus, an analysis from the historical and astronomical perspective was conducted to determine the relevant Gregorian dates. The results of the historical analysis revealed that Kurayb’s proclamation could not have occurred earlier than 19H/640M in view of the presence of Muawiyah in Sham and could not be later than 36H/657M as the last event involving Umm al-Fadl recorded by some historians occurred in that year. The results of the data analysis revealed that the Gregorian date in the ḥadīth that corresponded to the appearance of the crescent moon, April 4, 653M (Thursday) was used to determine the beginning of Ramadan 32H/653M based on the parameters of the position of the moon including age, altitude, elongation, arc of vision (ARCV) and width (W) all of which were larger at Sham than at Madīnah during the rukyah evening, hence it could have been sighted in Sham and not Madīnah. It is hoped that this study could provide a clearer understanding to the community on the background of events in the ḥadīth, hence, the proposal for the potential implementation of a more global hijri calendar can be accepted.
THE CRIME OF HIRABAH: APPROACH, JUSTIFICATION AND SIGNIFICANCE
Authors: Md Asri Muhammad Hameedullah , Ruslan Md Khalil
Published: July 2021

The punishment for ḥirābah as a ḥadd crime has been prescribed by the Lawmaker in the Qurʻān, in Chapter al-Mā’idah, 33. The provision stipulates four types of punishment, namely; execution, cutting off of hands and feet, crucifixion and banishment. Despite ḥirābah being a serious crime and the only ḥadd crime with four punishments, al-Mā’idah 33 is completely silent about the meaning of ḥirābah, its constituent elements, modes of crime and conditions. This has led the crime being approached either through a restrictive or a permissive manner by Muslim scholars. The objective of this paper is to study the concept of ḥirābah from both perspectives, their justifications and significant impacts on possible application of Islamic criminal law on the subject. This is carried out through careful examination of literature contributed by both classical and modern times. The findings of the study suggest that the restrictive approach considers ḥirābah to be a crime of highway robbery – grave theft – while the permissive approach does not stipulate any particular designation to the crime. Ḥirābah to the latter is of an unlimited crime. Their justifications range from textual to contextual analyzes, application of qiyās and other principles of Islamic jurisprudence. The significant impacts of both approaches are seen on the possible application of ḥirābah; either being a strict or a flexible form of crime, a limited or an unlimited with specified or unspecified types of punishment, involving the application of two witnesses or otherwise and the effect of repentance.
LEGAL AND SOCIAL COMPLEXITIES RELATING TO PRACTICE OF ARRANGED AND FORCED MARRIAGES
Authors: Booley Ashraf
Published: July 2021

The practice of forced and/or arranged marriages are reported to be taking place globally. These types of marriages have become gender neutral and can no longer be described only as an issue relating to women. However, what is portrayed is that women normally suffer as reported cases are evidence of that. First world countries where there is a large immigrant community, frown on the practice of forced marriages and arranged marriages. This is a complex issue, because on the one hand, one’s religious, cultural diversity is attacked and on the other hand forced and arranged marriages may violate various provisions of international, regional national human rights instruments. From an international law perspective, one could argue that there is a clear violation of international law. On the other hand, and argument relating to one’s cultural and religious beliefs could also be advanced. Concepts such as culture, religion and gender are deeply embedded in most known religions and communities, therefore, the practice of forced and arranged marriages may not be perceived as violation of any law/s whether international or national. Furthermore, forced and arranged marriages are at times so interrelated that it may be difficult to draw a clear distinction between the two. How do we protect women’s rights while at the same time respecting the cultural diversity of society? This article attempts to add to the existing debate surrounding the social and legal complexities of forced and arranged marriages.
NUSHŪZ AS A CAUSE OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA: THE QUR’ANIC PROVISION FOR PEACEFUL FAMILY LIFE AND THE ROLE OF MUSLIM WOMAN IN THE PROCESS
Authors: Hussaini Hamza Abubakar , Babayo Fatima
Published: July 2021

One of the common social problems in Nigerian society nowadays is the increasing of violence against women and children, mostly by male members of a family. Unfortunately, the problem has assumed a new dimension in recent times as husbands become victims of their wives leading violence against them. Throughout the history of human existence on earth. The Qur’ān identifies nushūz as a factor that leads to family crises in marriage contracts and steps have been recommended for peaceful resolution of such disputes in the Qur’ān. However, in spite of this provision, violence against family members is on increase among Muslim families in Nigeria. Some of the questions that many will ask are whether Muslim couples are aware of the Qur’anic guidance in resolving family crises or not? To what extent do the Muslims follow the Islamic teachings in matters related to family life before, during and after disputes? How can such increasing violence be controlled following the teachings of the Qur’ān and Sunnah of the Prophet SAW? What shall be the role of Muslim women in promoting peaceful life within the family? The paper is an attempt to answer the above questions and recommend the best ways to improve family life among Muslims. This will be through analytical studies of relevant texts of the Qur’ān and Sunnah and the current realities in Nigerian Muslim families with a particular reference to Gombe metropolitan city of Gombe State, Nigeria. The paper recommends that Islamic values should be emphasized and upheld at all levels of family life by all and sundry.
Solución de la ecuación de Schrödinger para el átomo de hidrógeno en coordenadas esferoidales prolatas
Authors: Celemin H. , Machado E. J. , Cardona-Bedoya J. A.
Published: July 2021

El sistema de coordenadas esferoidales prolatas (ξ, η, ᵩ) es ortogonal y es el resultado de la rotación de una elipse alrededor de su eje mayor (eje en el cual los focos están situados). El átomo de hidrógeno como sistema atómico más sencillo es resuelto usando coordenadas esferoidales prolatas. Considerando que el núcleo del átomo de hidrogeno está ubicado en uno de los focos de la elipse, se encuentra que la ecuación de Schrödinger es separable en dichas coordenadas (ψ(ξ, η, ᵩ) = X (ξ) Y(η) Φ(ᵩ)). Con el fin de facilitar los cálculos se supone que la distancia entre el centro de la elipse y el foco es un número semi-entero del radio de Bohr (a0), con esta suposición se encuentra una expresión para la función de onda ψ(ξ, η, ᵩ) del átomo de hidrogeno.Palabras clave: átomo de hidrógeno.

Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) y Desarrollo Sostenible: una mirada desde la Declaración de Rio de 1992
Authors: Avendaño William
Published: July 2021

La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) es la contribución de las empresas a promover los cambios generados en las últimas décadas en materia de desarrollo sostenible en relación con el compromiso de los Estados de actuar responsablemente frente al medio ambiente. Esta tendencia ha tenido su auge a finales de los años 80 y comienzos de los 90 con la Declaración de Río en Brasil. Bajo esta perspectiva, se hace una revisión de lo que implica la Declaración de Río de 1992 para Colombia como Estado firmante y la RSC como un componente en las agendas de las organizaciones actuales. Para ello, se emprende una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura con la finalidad de realizar un acercamiento conceptual al término RSC. Se hace una revisión de la legislación en materia de RSC, analizando las posiciones de quienes están de acuerdo y los que se oponen. Se estudian las normas relacionadas con este ámbito en Colombia y se evalúa la necesidad de reglamentar en este país ejemplos llevados adelante por otros Estados.Palabras clave: responsabilidad social corporativa, desarrollo sostenible, declaración de Rio

Prototipo para estudiar materiales cerámicos sometidos a ciclos de hielo y deshielo
Authors: Dulcé Moreno H. J. , Campo Epalza D. , Florez Solano E. N.
Published: July 2021

La resistencia de los materiales a condiciones de intemperie se establece en normas como la NTC 4321-12 del ICONTEC (Método de ensayo para determinar la resistencia al congelamiento de baldosas cerámicas), que sirven para certificar la calidad de los materiales de construcción. Los materiales son sometidos, en cámaras, a decenas de ciclos de hielo y deshielo para verificar la resistencia a la helada; es decir, comprobar la conservación de sus propiedades. Los equipos comerciales para realizar este ensayo están catalogados como robustos y solo sirven para pruebas de un determinado tipo de material, de acuerdo con una norma específica, por lo cual son muy costosos y poco flexibles. En el Centro de Investigación de Materiales Cerámicos (CIMAC-UFPS), se diseñó y construyó un prototipo de equipo, con un sistema de programación y control, que permite efectuar los ensayos de resistencia a la helada a diferentes materiales de construcción, y que adicionalmente sirve para realizar investigación de procesos de cambio en las propiedades de los materiales al ser sometidos a ciclos de congelamiento. El prototipo es tan flexible que permite cambiar parámetros tales como velocidad de enfriamiento y simultáneamente registrar, en tiempo real, la temperatura de las probetas.Palabras clave: NTC 4321-12, ciclos de hielo y deshielo, materiales cerámicos
