Authors: Rachmawati Winasih , Nur Hasanah Aliya , Zein Muttaqin Fauzan , Muchtaridi Muchtaridi
Published: September 2022

α-mangostin is the largest content in Garcinia mangostana rind, which has a wide range of biological activities and pharmacological properties. The extraction process to separate α-mangostin from complex matrices requires selectivity. A novel method of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) has characterization high selectivity, high stability, and low cost. MIP uses as a selective sorbent with adsorption method that α-mangostin has the higher binding capacity and specific recognition with MIP. The computational approach was developed to study monomer selectivity towards α-mangostin as a template for rational MIP design. The purpose of this research is to study molecular interaction between template and monomer and monomer template ratio optimization in computational design to find the best pre-polymerization complex for MIP preparations. The structure of α-mangostin and nine functional monomers was drawn using Marvin Sketch and then optimized by Hyperchem 8.0.10 software. Monomer positions are placed on the template structure in various complex ratios. Each conformation was calculated using a semi-empirical PM3 simulation method to obtain the lowest bond free energy. The results showed that the α-mangostin-methacrylic acid complex with 1:6 molar ratio had the most stable structure, the most hydrogen bonds, and the highest ∆G was -27.5114588 kcal/mol. This study presented a method of selecting numerous functional monomers and determining appropriate monomer ratios with a template to obtain MIP for α-mangostin.

Introduction: According to the scientific literature, sulfur contained in various foods and medicines is almost completely absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. However, the role of sulfur containing mineral waters as a dietary source of sulfur still remains unrevealed. The focus of this study was the effect of sulfurous mineral water from two public fountains on the territory of Varna town on the expression rates of enzymes involved in the processes of sulfonation in human intestinal cells. Methods: Human intestinal epithelial cells were incubated with different percentage content of sulfurous mineral water in the growth medium. Cell viability was measured by the MTT test, and three concentrations of mineral water were chosen for gene expression analyses. The cells were treated with water samples with different residence times after filling: 24 hours, 3 and 7 days. Messenger RNA levels of two sulfotransferases isoforms (SULT1A1 and SULT1A3) and 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phosphosulfate synthase 1 (PAPSS1) were measured. Results: Significantly increased mRNA levels of both sulfotransferases were measured in cells treated with 24-hours samples from the two fountains. This stimulatory effect was dependent on the percentage content of mineral water in the culture medium. Despite the stimulated expression of sulfotransferases, higher volume concentrations of 24-hour samples of mineral water significantly inhibited the gene expression of PAPSS1. It could be suggested that the H2S, as a major active compound in the mineral water, has the potential to modulate the gene expression of the investigated enzymes. Conclusion: Sulfurous mineral water should be considered an important dietary source of sulfur. We believe that the presented results would be of interest to society and health professionals.

Authors: Cruz Alberdi Collantes Juan
Published: September 2022

El programa de cooperación transnacional del Suroeste Europeo aporta la oportunidad de contrastar la situación que atraviesan los espacios periurbanos de cuatro áreas metropolitanas y plantear toda una serie de recomendaciones para su correcta ordenación. Tras varias décadas de crecimiento urbano intenso se observa la dificultad que tienen los documentos de ordenación para regularlo y dirigirlo en los límites de la ciudad. Tan sólo las figuras de protección de espacios naturales aportan ciertas garantías de preservar determinados entornos. Las propuestas se concretan en la necesidad de resaltar el valor natural, de ocio y agrario del medio rural próximo. También se incide en la necesidad de acometer la ordenación de este espacio utilizando una metodología diferente, la mirada invertida, con el objeto de conseguir mayor consenso y respeto a las propuestas de todas las partes.

Caracterización de los depósitos fluviales del río Ebro en la Cuenca de Miranda de Ebro (Burgos)
Authors: Soria-Jáuregui Ángel
Published: September 2022

La evolución fluvial del río Ebro ha sido analizada de forma desigual, siendo más numerosas lasinvestigaciones centradas en su curso medio y bajo. En este trabajo se describe el sistema de terrazasfluviales elaborado por el río Ebro a su paso por la Cuenca de Miranda de Ebro (Álava – Burgos).Se han reconocido cinco niveles de terrazas (T1-T5) mediante su análisis estratigráfico, morfológico y sedimentológico. Las terrazas se sitúan a unas alturas que oscilan entre los 68 y los 5 m sobre el nivel actual del río Ebro. El relleno sedimentario de los niveles más elevados (T1-T4) está compuesto por gravas poligénicas bien clasificadas y muy redondeadas con presencia puntual de niveles de arenas; mientras que el nivel más bajo (T5) está constituido enteramente por partículas finas. Los resultados apuntan hacia variaciones de caudal y aportes sedimentarios, en relación con las oscilaciones climáticas cuaternarias, como los factores que gobiernan la evolución fluvial en la Cuenca de Miranda de Ebro, en coherencia con los modelos de evolución propuestos para otros puntos de la cuenca hidrográfica.
Geohistoria de la tenencia Navarra de San Sebastián de Hernani
Authors: Orella Unzué José Luis
Published: September 2022

Con motivo de la celebración del milenario (1014-2014) de la fundación de San Sebastián de Hernani en el barrio del Antiguo de la capital guipuzcoana, se presenta en este trabajo la evolución geohistórica de este asentamiento monacal que llegará a ser el centro de un valle y de una tenencia del reino de Pamplona gracias principalmente a las concesiones de los reyes de Pamplona Sancho el Mayor y Pedro I. Igualmente se estudian las relaciones de esta villa fundiaria con la villa burguesa erigida por Sancho VI el Sabio en 1180 a los pies del monte Urgull. Al desarrollar en el trabajo la geohistoria de la tenencia de San Sebastian de Hernani se la enmarca en las ya existentes tenencias guipuzcoanas durante la Edad Media y se estudia igualmente el papel que esta tenencia jugó en los límites y fronteras diocesanas de las sedes de Pamplona y de Bayona. Por último se estudian las relaciones de este monasterio de San Sebastian de Hernani con el monasterio de Leire al que pertenecía hasta que el mismo monasterio Leire se desprendió por venta de dicho monasterio de San Sebastián de Hernani.

Cartografía de una migración. Mujeres africanas en Euskadi: identidades y empoderamiento
Authors: Dacougna Minkette Jeanne Rolande , Téllez Infantes Anastasia
Published: September 2022

La apertura conceptual a través de la integración de la perspectiva de género en los estudios sobre migración ha permitido visibilizar la migración de las mujeres. Sin embargo, las posibilidades de embarcarse en tal empresa dependerán de las oportunidades y derechos que éstas tengan en cada momento, lugar y cultura, por lo tanto, a pesar de que haya paridad dentro de las migraciones internacionales, la migración africana es principalmente masculina. En este artículo se parte de un enfoque diferente sobre la migración de las mujeres africanas negras en Euskadi. La perspectiva se aleja del habitual retrato de mujeres desvalidas y presenta a unas mujeres fuertes, conscientes de sus desventajas pero con capacidad de transformación política y social. Mujeres que habitan un espacio transnacional y reivindican sus identidades africana y europea.

El impacto del turismo en el Casco Viejo de Bilbao mediante los modelos de economía colaborativa : una aproximación a traves de una distribucion binomial negativa
Authors: Fierro Álvaro , Salmón Cristina
Published: September 2022

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo medir el impacto del tipo de turismo resultante de los nuevos modelos de alojamiento de economía colaborativa digital y su efecto sobre los alquileres de los establecimientos comerciales de la parte antigua de Bilbao, conocida como Casco Viejo. El artículo identifica un perfil del tipo de huésped que no lo recoge las estadísticas oficiales, y que está condicionado, a su vez, por el perfil del anfitrión que arrienda su residencia privada. Además, se demuestra, de manera preliminar, que este fenómeno y la actividad turística desencadenante si no es causa, contribuye al aumento del precio del metro cuadrado de los locales dedicados al comercio del entorno, y por tanto, a gestar un proceso de gentrificación del barrio. Se busca por tanto qué relación hay entre el perfil del nuevo turista y la actividad económica que se desarrolla en esta zona de actividad comercial.
Tensiones territoriales en la dialéctica local-glogal: la modernización del puerto del ingeniero White y la desaparición de los balnearios populares (Bahía Blanca, Argentina)
Authors: Martin María Cecilia
Published: September 2022

La dialéctica local- global, incide fuertemente en los procesos de construcción del territorio y se expresa en diversas formas de ocupación y apropiación del espacio que responden a distintos intereses, algunos en abierta confrontación. En las últimas décadas, la incidencia de procesos externos en la dinámica de los espacios locales se ve reforzada con el proceso de globalización, particularmente en ciertas áreas que resultan atractivas a los intereses del capital internacional. Los procesos de organización del espacio local se ven entonces enfrentados a otros procesos que responden a otros intereses y a otras lógicas, en un campo de fuerzas donde lo global tiende a imponerse. Esta situación es particularmente notoria en los países en desarrollo, donde actores externos suelen imponer sus proyectos territoriales con la frecuente anuencia de los poderes públicos, que legitiman y habilitan sus actuaciones, aún cuando puedan conspirar con los intereses, las necesidades y las expectativas de los actores locales. Lo global se presenta así como una fuerza estructurante que condiciona fuertemente la vida en los lugares y restringe las posibilidades de actuación de las comunidades. No obstante, también existen intersticios que habilitan la acción autónoma, materializada en estrategias de construcción territorial que pueden valorarse como verdaderos espacios de resistencia. El presente trabajo pretende analizar estas dinámicas territoriales en el espacio portuario de Ingeniero White (Bahía Blanca, Argentina), observando a lo largo del proceso histórico, la expansión y modernización del espacio portuario y el reclamo histórico de la sociedad local por el acceso al mar. Se pretende en este análisis observar cómo la pretensión social de disponer de un espacio balneario sobre el litoral costero, se vio reiteradamente frustrada por el proceso de expansión y modernización portuaria y cómo en este mismo proceso, se habilitaron espacios de resistencia que han buscado recomponer la relación entre la sociedad y su espacio, el territorio de todos.
La negociación colectiva en España: una evolución imperfecta
Authors: Valero Oteo Irene
Published: September 2022

La negociación colectiva es un instrumento eficaz a la hora de establecer la paz social en las sociedades avanzadas, puesto que permite participar en el proceso negociador a dos agentes sociales históricamente enfrentados: empresarios y trabajadores. Es decir, es un elemento democratizador, puesto que permite una negociación conjunta, entre empresarios y trabajadores, para establecer las reglas que conciernen al mundo laboral. En España, la  negociación colectiva ha ido de la mano del proceso de modernización, cuyo inicio se sitúa a finales del siglo XIX, sin embargo, no se ha instaurado plenamente hasta la llegada de la Democracia. En este trabajo se intentará exponer la evolución histórica de la negociación colectiva en nuestro país, que se ha dividido en tres períodos. En primer lugar, se hará una alusión breve del proceso, desde la primera etapa de la modernización hasta el período democrático. En segundo lugar, se hará un recorrido desde el comienzo de la democracia hasta finales de los noventa, etapa donde la negociación colectiva estaba, prácticamente, en manos del movimiento sindical español. En tercer y último lugar, se analizará el período de reformas que va desde el comienzo del milenio hasta la reforma laboral de 2012, etapa en la que prima un cambio radical en las relaciones de trabajo, en favor de las empresas, como respuesta a la agresiva crisis económica española.

Orto y ocaso de la industria de fabricación de módulos fotovoltaicos en España
Authors: Espejo Marín Cayetano , Aparicio Guerrero Ana Eulalia
Published: September 2022

Varios factores contribuyeron a la expansión de la energía solar fotovoltaica en España en la primera década de este siglo: abundante radiación solar, marco legislativo y económico muy atractivo, líneas de créditos muy interesantes e industrias capaces de abastecer parte del equipamiento necesario para la construcción de las plantas solares. Frente a este auge, en los últimos años la industria de la energía solar fotovoltaica ha sufrido una gran crisis ante el crecimiento de las empresas asiáticas, especialmente chinas, y la incertidumbre regulatoria tras la supresión de las primas impulsadas por el Gobierno de España. Este artículo tiene como objetivo una aproximación al estudio de las consecuencias territoriales y sociales que ha tenido el desmantelamiento de la mayor parte de la industria productora de módulos fotovoltaicos en España, que ha pasado de ser pionera a nivel mundial a comienzos de este siglo, a casi desaparecer tan solo unos pocos años después.
Expectativas previas y valoración tras la asistencia a un evento mice. Estudio de caso de las XXV Jornadas Hispanolusas de Gestión Científica
Authors: Araújo Vila Noelia , De Carlos Villamarín Pablo , Fraiz Brea José Antonio
Published: September 2022

El turismo de reuniones o MICE constituye una interesante alternativa para los destinos urbanos, ya que repercute positivamente en la economía local y contribuye a la desestacionalización de la actividad turística. España ha conseguido posicionarse mundialmente como destino MICE, incrementándose durante los últimos años la celebración de congresos y jornadas. Por ello, es interesante obtener y analizar toda la información posible sobre el tipo de turista que acude a estos eventos, así como sobre el modo en que se informa a los mismos, ya que una correcta promoción es imprescindible para captar eventos y, posteriormente, asistentes. A modo de estudio preliminar se considera un evento MICE celebrado en febrero de 2015 en la ciudad de Ourense (Galicia), al que se han desplazado más de 250 asistentes: las XXV Jornadas Hispanolusas de Gestión Científica. En concreto, se presentan los resultados de dos encuestas, una realizada antes y otra tras la celebración del evento a los ponentes inscritos, que permiten arrojar luz sobre algunos interesantes aspectos relacionados con: i) la planificación del desplazamiento y la estancia en Ourense, incluido el conocimiento y valoración de la ciudad como destino turístico; ii) la campaña de comunicación y otros aspectos relevantes de las Jornadas, así como los beneficios profesionales que los encuestados esperaban obtener; iii) el perfil sociodemográfico de los ponentes.
Transformaciones socioespaciales del valle del río Siecha por la construcción del embalse de Tominé, Colombia, 1960-2019
Authors: Chaparro Penagos Luis Gerardo
Published: September 2022

Este articulo analiza las transformaciones socioespaciales ocurridas ente 1960 y 2019 en el valle del río Siecha, por la construcción del embalse de Tominé. Se utilizó una metodología de enfoque mixto, empleando los métodos de análisis documental, análisis multitemporal de cartografía e imágenes satelitales, y análisis de 20 entrevistas aplicadas a actores territoriales. Se encontró que las transformaciones se agrupan en cuatro periodos, así: 1960-1970 (construcción del embalse), 1971-1999 (reterritorialización y desgobierno), 2000-2005 (crisis ambiental), y 2006-2019 (regulaciones), durante los que las condiciones sociales permanecieron relativamente estables. Se evidenció que las transformaciones han obedecido a ejercicios de Territorialización, Desterritorialización y Reterritorialización (dinámica TDR), desencadenados con la construcción del embalse y adelantados por los actores que buscan la apropiación del territorio.
Releer la familia, reinterpretar la sociedad. Familia troncal/familia nuclear: el País Vasco al final del Antiguo Régimen
Authors: González Portilla M. , Hernando Pérez J. , Urrutikoetxea Lizarraga J.
Published: September 2022

La familia es instancia básica en la articulación de las sociedades. De ahí la vigencia de los debates y relatos sobre los modelos familiares; está en juego la defensa de la primacía social, política y ética de un determinado modelo social. Desde mediados del siglo XIX, los discursos tradicionalistas han dominado el escenario vasco y han convertido a familia troncal en el paradigma de “lo vasco”. Este trabajo pone en tela de juicio el valor universal de ese supuesto y el de los proyectos construidos sobre él.

Evaluation of a simplified method for estimating spatial patterns of residential water use based on thermal remote sensing, Khan-Younis Governorate, Gaza Strip
Authors:   Geography Department, Al-Aqsa University, Gaza Strip, Palestine, Essa Wiesam , Batelaan Okke
Published: September 2022

Background: Water consumption (WC) data is critical for managing water crises in water-scarce countries, especially in those countries that are lagging behind technical advancement for collecting accurate WC data at the household level. There is a lack of methods for estimating WC. Method: Here, we introduce a simplified method for estimating WC data based on regression analysis of satellite Land Surface Temperature (LST) data for the Khan-Younis Governorate, Gaza Strip, for the year 2017. We demonstrate the potential for using WC-LST models with and without low-resolution population data to estimate residential WC for two spatial resolutions: Landsat TIR moderate resolution (100 m), and MODIS TIR low resolution (1000 m). Residential WC data is measured based on readings from water meters of 28,000 individual houses. Results: The method performs better without the low-spatial resolution population data. The use of similar spatial resolution data or higher to Landsat 8 TIR (100 m) is a prerequisite for robust WC estimation. Although the method can easily be modified and applied in areas where no estimated water consumption data is available, using the regression equation might result in a poor result due to the use of different water supply sources as demonstrated for the periphery of Khan Younis city.

Background: Air pollution is notable for its direct impact on human health. Hence, the ability to accurately predict air pollution concentrations is vital to raising public awareness of this issue and for better understanding of air quality management. Aim: Therefore, the aim of this research is to predict PM10 concentrations in Malaysia, specifically on Langkawi Island using random forest and multiple linear regression. Method: The predictive analytics were based on air pollution hourly data from 2003 until 2017. The eight parameters chosen in this study were PM10, NO2, O3, CO, SO2, Relative Humidity (RH), Temperature (T), and Wind Speed (WS). The findings revealed that PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, and O3 hourly trends at Langkawi Island were below the recommended Malaysian Ambient Air Quality Guidelines (MAAQG) standard. Multiple linear regression (MLR) and random forest (RF) were used for modelling and compared based on their prediction accuracy. Result: The values of RMSE, NAE, IA, PA and R2 for MLR were 8.0698, 0.1368, 0.8584, 0.7737 and 0.5984 respectively while the values of RMSE, NAE, IA, PA and R2 for RF were 6.674038, 0.107664, 0.911974, 0.852570 and 0.726681 correspondingly. From the results, the RF method was chosen as a better model than MLR since both; the error measures and the accuracy measures results are close to 1. Nevertheless, the PM10 models (RF and MLR) are unable to take into account the higher observed concentrations.
Notes on the Non-flying Mammalian Fauna Characterizing both Sides of the Green Line; the De Facto Border between the Gaza Strip and Historic Palestine
Authors:   Department of Biology and Biotechnology, Islamic University of Gaza, Box 108, Gaza Strip, Palestine, Abd Rabou Abdel Fattah
Published: September 2022

In spite of its small area, Palestine (27,000 km2) is home to diverse forms of flying and non-flying mammalian fauna. The 365 km2 Gaza Strip (about 1.5% of historic Palestine), which is located in the far southwest of Palestine, represents a strip isolated from the rest of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1948 by the so-called Green Line. The Green Line is currently supported by the so-called smart security wall, which would impede the ecological communication between the Gaza Strip and the rest of the lands of historic Palestine. This study aims to identify the non-flying mammalian fauna existing on both sides of the Green Line through field visits, interviews with border residents, zoo owners and wildlife hunters, and photographing hunted species. The results revealed at least 21 species of non-flying mammals belonging to 14 families and 5 orders marked both sides of the Green line. This number may change in the future depending on the development of scientific studies or the occurrence of any geopolitical and military changes in the region. Order Carnivora was the biggest and represented 42.9% of the species recorded, followed by the orders Rodentia (23.9%), Artiodactyla (14.3%), Eulipotyphla or Insectivora (14.3%) and Lagomorpha (4.7%). Most of the recorded mammals were located on both sides of the Green Line, with the exception of the Striped Hyena (Hyaena hyaena) and Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), which have not yet been able to infiltrate and cross the Gaza Strip borders. A decade ago, the Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) began breeding in separate parts of the Gaza Strip. The Etruscan Pygmy Shrew (Suncus etruscus) is, by far, the smallest non-flying mammal recorded in the Gaza Strip. All recorded mammals were subjected to poaching and hunting by wildlife hunters, and some species were deposited in private zoos that are spread in the Gaza Strip. It appears that the Negev Desert in southern Palestine and the Gaza Envelope which border the Gaza Strip to the East and North, represent an important depth for the influx of many wild mammals to the Gaza Strip across the Green Line. In conclusion, the study recommends the necessity of controlling the poaching and hunting of various forms of wildlife, whether they are present in the Gaza Strip or coming to it across the Green Line in order to preserve Palestinian biodiversity in a sustainable manner.

Background: Obesity and overweight are characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat present in the body. Worldwide more than 340 million children between the ages of five and nineteen were overweight or obese in 2016. Very few studies have focused on the prevalence of the double burden of malnutrition, namely obesity, and underweight, in the Moroccan context. Methods: The research was a cross-sectional study based on a selfadministered questionnaire which distributed to 462 adolescents in the presence of a dietician who was also responsible for anthropometric measurements and clinical examination. Results: The prevalence of underweight was 11.4%, overweight was estimated at 7.3%, and obesity at 1.7%. The Odds ratio analysis revealed that the number of people sharing the same household has a strong influence on weight gain, as adolescents who share their home with only 2 people are 61 times more likely to gain weight than adolescents who live with 3 or more people in the same household (OR 61.11 CI 18.96;196.97). Type of residence was also found to be a risk factor for weight gain; adolescents living in urban areas were 6 times more likely to gain weight than those living in rural areas (OR= 6.11 CI: 1.39; 26.82). Adolescents who do not consume fast food are less likely to gain weight (Odds Ration less than 1 (OR=0.014 CI: 0.003;0.063). Regular strenuous physical activity was also a protective factor against weight gain (OR=0.278 CI: 0.080;0.969). Conclusion: The double burden of malnutrition characterized by the coexistence of obesity and underweight is a reality in Taza. It is therefore urgent to take community action, such as promoting healthy food choices by taxing unhealthy foods, implementing obligatory standards for meals in canteens and school catering, increasing daily physical activity in schools, as well as fighting against obesogenic environments. Early intervention is necessary because moderate overweight in childhood is associated with a significant increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in later adulthood.

Published: September 2022

Bu çalışmada, Siirt’e özgü Zivzik narından elde edilen kabuk tozunun bazı fizikokimyasal özellikleri ve gıda patojenleri olarak bilinen S. aureus, E. coli ve B. cereus bakterilerine karşı antibakteriyel etkileri araştırılmıştır. Denemelerde farklı oranlarda (%2.5, 5, 10 ve 20) distile su ile seyreltilen kabuk tozu kullanılmıştır. Bu bakterilerin standart antibiyotiklere karşı duyarlılıkları belirlenerek, kabuk tozunun antibakteriyel etkisi ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Çözeltilerin pH aralığı 3.68-3.91, O/R aralığı 187.52-199.30 mV ve EC aralığı ise 0.39-0.48 µScm-1 olarak belirlenirken, antibiyotiklerin ve kabuk tozu konsantrasyonunun bakteriler üzerinde etkili oldukları gözlenmiştir. Bakterilere karşı en etkili konsantrasyonun %20 olduğu belirlenirken, kabuğun B. cereus ve E. coli üzerine penicillinden, B. cereus üzerine ise amoxycillin/clavulanic asit᾿ten daha etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, nar kabuğunun gıda patojenlerine karşı antibakteriyel madde olarak kullanılabileceği ve halk sağlığına katkı sunabileceği anlaşılmıştır.
