Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is the most water-rich region in the world, but millions of its inhabitants live with water risk. This contradiction, driven by mismatches in the location of supply vs demand, quality issues, and failing infrastructure, makes it crucial that policy makers use people-centric water risk metrics when assessing water risk in LAC. 35% of the population lives in water stressed basins, a number which balloons to 60% when accounting for the lack of institutional capacity for preserving water quality and providing water services.
Hacia la valorización de residuos sólidos en América Latina y el Caribe. Conceptos básicos, análisis de viabilidad y recomendaciones de políticas públicas
Authors: Correal Magda , Rihm Alfredo
Published: February 2022

En América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) existe una tendencia a eliminar los residuos mediante la técnica de disposición final en rellenos sanitarios y botaderos a cielo abierto. La implementación de tecnologías de valorización es aún incipiente, pese a los importantes beneficios que estas generan, como la reducción de las emisiones de carbono, la recuperación de materiales y del potencial energético presente en los residuos, la extensión de la vida útil de los rellenos sanitarios y la creación de empleos “verdes”, entre otros. Es fundamental introducir y promover el uso de técnicas de valorización, las cuales, si bien requieren mayores recursos de capital, permiten transformar los residuos en nuevos recursos y generan grandes ahorros para la sociedad a largo plazo en términos económicos y ambientales. Esta publicación presenta los conceptos utilizados por países que han realizado los mayores avances en la gestión integral de los residuos sólidos urbanos a fin de evaluar las diferentes técnicas de segregación, tratamiento y valorización de residuos (mejores técnicas disponibles y tecnologías probadas) e incluye fichas técnicas con criterios de evaluación de las tecnologías disponibles. Asimismo, ofrece una metodología de análisis de viabilidad que puede orientar a las municipalidades y a los encargados de la toma de decisiones frente a la selección de tecnologías de valorización de residuos, de acuerdo con su contexto local. Finalmente, plantea una serie de recomendaciones para la adopción de políticas públicas e instrumentos que fomenten la introducción y el uso de estas tecnologías en ALC.
The Eurasian version of the social ideal of L. P. Karsavin
Authors: Zheltikova Inga
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the theory of the social ideal, developed by L. P. Karsavin from 1926 to 1929. A comparative analysis of the philosopher's pre-emigrant views with his reflections in the Eurasian period reveals a significant evolution in his interpretation of society and historical perspective. The study of the socio-cultural context of the creation of the concept of an ideocratic state with a demotic form of government allows us to understand the reason for this evolution.

The History of Philosophy in the Perspective of the Intercultural Philosophy: The Concept of Scharfstein
Authors: Belimova Vlada
Published: February 2022

The article examines a new trend in contemporary philosophical studies known as the ‘intercultural philosophy’ in the light of its connection with the history of philosophy. The intercultural philosophy claims to study various forms of world philosophical knowledge, from its own peculiar perspective, that reveal the ‘symphonic’, ‘polylogue’ character of interaction of world cultures and their philosophical traditions. This sets up a query to rethink the traditional attitude of the existing philosophical disciplines to the diversity of forms of world philosophy. Many works on the history of philosophy, created in the paradigm of the comparative philosophy, demonstrate the bias (sometimes in the form of unconscious mind predisposition of their authors) towards the ‘Orientalism’ with its typical tendency to judge the non-Western philosophical traditions (in particular of India and China) by their conformity with the standards of European philosophy.
However, among the authors, who consider themselves to be comparative philosophers, one can also find those, who understanding the defect character of ‘Orientalism’, strive to look at the non-Western philosophical traditions open-mindedly – as the autonomous, integral systems of thought, which (together with the Western philosophy) form the polyphonic tune of the world philosophy. These thinkers are shaping a new intercultural trend in modern philosophy. Ben-Ami Scharfstein belongs precisely to this rare category of modern philosophers. He reflects his own position as a position of a ‘cultural comparativist’. In his exposition he avoids the traditional mode of studying of the philosophical tenets separately – belonging to different cultures and geographical loci, and claims that it is better to study world history of philosophy uniting the positions of Indian, Chinese and Western thinkers on the basis of the universal philosophical problems.
The article underlines Scharfstein's methodology as a promising for comprehending and revising the history of philosophy from the intercultural perspective.
Extended Kalman Filter deconvolution for extracting accurate seismic reflectivity
Authors: Téllez Wilmer , Almanza Ovidio , Montes-Vides Luis
Published: February 2022

Deconvolution attempts compensating for the distortions affecting a recorded seismogram, increasing its bandwidth and extracting subsurface reflectivity from such seismic trace. The estimated reflectivity needs the highest reliability and resolution because of its subsequent use in the pre-stack seismic processing sequence and seismic inversion. We implemented the predictive deconvolution algorithms, the homomorphic Phase Inversion, and the Extended Kalman Filtering. Their application to synthetic traces extracted reflectivity whose comparison with well-bore allowed comparing the reliability between methods. The algorithms applied to an offshore record provided results whose comparison permitted to analyze the impact of the deconvolution assumptions on each method performance.
A study on the domain of passive income strategies in architecture and how the confluence of entrepreneurship and architecture can transform the design practice
Authors: Kaur Mansanjam , Kher Pragya , Khandelwal Aanchal , Paul Simar , Nagdeve Shruti S.
Published: February 2022

Purpose of the study: Currently, in India, there is high growth in real estate and marketing in the urban sector. Architecture as a profession is still under-recognition and it is growing albeit slowly. Hence, there is a need towards developing a more interdisciplinary approach of merging entrepreneurship with the practice of architecture and other allied disciplines to create a passive source of income generation. Previous research looked at passive income as merely a source of retirement income generation strategy. This research aims to understand how passive income can be used as a branding tool and a means of active income generator.

Methodology: Various expert interviews were conducted to understand how passive income strategies fare in the real world and the gaps between the theory and implementation of these strategies. Successful case models, national and international, were also analysed.

Main Findings: There is a limited understanding regarding the opportunities which a passive source of income can offer. It is merely considered an additional source of income, overlooking the branding opportunities it entails. Apart from time and money, identifying one’s strengths and skills is an important component in deciding on the kind of passive strategy one want’s to invest in.

Implications: Passive source of income allows a person to explore a certain field and go an extra mile to analyze and choose the field to best of his/her opportunities. It is a revenue stream with one-time investment with time, money, skill and marketing which enables it as a passive and long term income. With the current generation dwelling more and more into a secondary source of income, this study may help understand the overall process undergoing a passive income strategy.

»Pobiram orumenele liste,« (2022) je izbor Šiftarjevih pesmi, ki so nastajale šestdeset let. Oblikovno neoporečno označujejo avtorjeve intimne in pokrajinsko estetske motive, občutljivost za socialno prizadetega človeka, odpor do okupatorja med vojno ter samokritično misel o pravni stroki, ki ji besedi pravica in resnica pogostoma uhajata iz dorečenosti, kot uhajata tudi iz vsake družbene prakse. In kakor sebi uhaja nemirni duhovni iskalec, ko hoče na cesti, na kateri »vsem se mudi«, svoji »razklani polovici« ubrati v skladen jaz.

Autobiografia Alice Salomon - struktury procesowe biografii a losy narodu niemieckiego
Authors: Kołodziej-Durnaś Agnieszka
Published: February 2022

W artykule podjęto zagadnienie struktur procesowych w autobiografii Alice Salomon i relacji między biograficzną i kolektywną trajektorią. Poza wstępnymi informacjami o samej pionierce pracy socjalnej w Niemczech i jej międzynarodowej karierze w organizacjach ruchu kobiecego w artykule zamieszczono analizę struktur procesowych w jej autobiografii wraz z inspiracjami teoretycznymi, uwagami metodologicznymi oraz danymi o samym tekście. W przeciwieństwie do analizy autobiograficznych wypowiedzi Rudolpha Hössa zamieszczonej w trzech artykułach M. Czyżewskiego i A. Rokuszewskiej-Pawełek, które stanowiły tu do pewnego stopnia wzorzec konstrukcji wywodu, analiza autobiografii Alice Salomon pozwala dostrzec taką sytuację, kiedy trajektoria kolektywna nie pochłania jednostki, ale powoduje, że buduje ona swoją tożsamość przy pomocy np. projektów biograficznych pomimo doświadczania cierpienia związanego z trajektorią zbiorową. W porównaniu autobiografii R.Hössa i A.Salomon próbowano wskazać na złożoność losów narodu niemieckiego okresu nazizmu.

Una aproximación a la arquitectura de Richard Neutra desde su empatía con el usuario en el proceso de proyecto
Authors: Cabrero-Olmos Raquel
Published: February 2022

El artículo presenta una aproximación a la obra del arquitecto Richard Neutra analizando y poniendo en valor la empatía con el usuario, así como las acciones realizadas durante el proceso de proyecto orientadas a conocer y satisfacer las necesidades del mismo. Aunque en el campo del diseño es habitual contar con técnicas de empatía que se trabajan de manera consciente, en arquitectura se ha venido haciendo de una manera más subconsciente. Debido a ello la exploración sobre el usuario ha quedado implícitamente integrada y, por tanto, diluida en una investigación inicial más amplia, vinculada a garantizar la funcionalidad del programa. La obra de Richard Neutra se presenta como adecuada para realizar este estudio, por el foco constante que el arquitecto pone en buscar el bienestar de las personas a través de los espacios habitados que diseña. La investigación se estructura en tres partes diferenciadas: la atención hacia las dimensiones fisiológica y psicológica de la persona; el análisis de la relación que se establece entre la persona y la naturaleza a través de su arquitectura; y la presentación de ejemplos específicos de técnicas aplicadas por el arquitecto para conocer al usuario, su estructura familiar y sus necesidades. A través de los casos estudiados y con apoyo de feedback específico de algunos de sus clientes, se confirma la fuerte orientación hacia el usuario en la arquitectura de Neutra, buscando garantizar su bienestar físico y emocional a través de la configuración de los espacios, así como la expansión del ser mediante la conexión con la naturaleza. Un arquitecto adelantado a su tiempo, que construye un fuerte vínculo empático con sus usuarios y aplica una serie de técnicas de empatía que tendrán un largo desarrollo posterior dentro de lo que hoy se conoce como Design Thinking.
Relationship Between the Rates of Breast Milk Production of Preterm Mothers in the First Week Post-Delivery and Continuation of Breastfeeding Through Discharge
Authors: Pollard Deborah Lynn
Published: February 2022

Background

Mothers of preterm infants born between 26- and 35-weeks’ gestation often report challenges with maintaining a pumping schedule and experience perceptions of low milk supply, both of which may contribute to early termination of breastfeeding within the first few weeks.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the amount of expressed milk volumes in the first 2 weeks after delivery and infant’s continuing to receive mother’s milk at hospital discharge. These results were part of a larger study that examined multiple maternal variables that may impact the amount of milk volumes and continuation of breastfeeding in the preterm infant admitted to the NICU.

Methods

Mothers of infants (N = 37) in the NICU were recruited for this correlational, longitudinal study. Data was collected at 24–48 hours post-delivery, at 2 weeks, at 4 weeks from mothers participating in the study and from infant chart reviews.

Results/Outcomes

Mothers who reported higher expressed milk volumes at 3 days post-delivery had consistently higher volumes of expressed breast milk and a higher percentage of continued breastfeeding at hospital discharge. There was no statistically significant relationship between breastfeeding self-efficacy scores, socio-demographic variables, or pumping frequency and the percentage of infants receiving breast milk at hospital discharge. Overall, 76.4% of the infants enrolled in the study were receiving 100% of their intake with fortified mother’s milk at hospital discharge.

Discussion/Implications for Practice

The use of a breast pump log in the first 2 weeks to monitor milk volumes may assist in predicting mothers who are at risk of lower milk supply and early discontinuation of breastfeeding.

Published: February 2022

Aim: We retrospectively examined the impact on the rate of survival of pain-free home-based exercise in diabetic peripheral artery disease patients compared to patients receiving usual care. Methods: In total, 202 patients at Fontaine’s Stage II with diabetes were studied. Half were enrolled in a structured home-based exercise program (E), whereas the other half received walking advice as the active control group (C). Long-term clinical outcomes at five years were gathered from the Emilia-Romagna Health Service Registry, with survival probability selected as the primary outcome. Results: At baseline, the two groups did not differ for any demographic or clinical characteristics. High adherence to the program was recorded in Group E (88% of home-walking sessions executed, with an average distance walked during the program of 174 km). After five years, a survival rate of 90% for Group E and 60% for Group C was observed, with a significantly (P < 0.001) higher mortality risk for Group C [Hazard ratio (HR) = 3.92]. Additionally, among secondary outcomes, Group E showed a significantly (P = 0.048) lower rate of peripheral revascularizations than Group C (15% vs. 24%, respectively; HR = 1.91), all-cause hospitalizations (P = 0.007; 61% vs. 80%, HR = 1.58), and amputations (P = 0.049; 6% vs. 13%, HR = 2.47). In a Cox multivariate-proportional regression model of the entire population, the predictors of survival probability were age (HR = 1.05), Charlson index (HR = 1.24), lower ankle-brachial index (HR = 6.66), and control group (HR = 4.99). Conclusion: A simple sustainable program aimed at improving mobility of diabetic patients with claudication at high cardiovascular risk was associated with better survival and long-term clinical outcomes.

Published: February 2022

This paper is focused on understanding multiscale modelling to obtain a bridge among different time and length scales of simulation techniques. These techniques are vital as it holds the potential to understand and predict the capabilities of polymer nanocomposites (PNCs). However, an appropriate approach in controlling the interfacial interaction between nanoparticle and polymer in nanocomposites structure is still needed to develop. In this review, an initial brief introduction to various trending simulation techniques has been discussed at all three levels of scale (nm, μm, mm). Later, descriptive study on fundamental issues such as thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanical properties, and morphology has been studied deeply. The multiscale modeling bridges the gaps of simulation between the different scales of models from molecular to mesoscale levels working over the broad range of length and timescale. Through the sequential, adaptive, and concurrent approaches, we can develop a system that may comprehend multiscale mode modeling adaptive resolution approach has recently added approach the molecule of the subject can shift their position freely in the domain and through this approach and studied the Brownian motion. Co-The co-current coach is also termed as handshaking path and it is linked aiming at different scale models. Covering the rigid techniques smoothly and linking them at different scales helps in normalizing the statistical behaviour.

Elementary school children tend to have very diverse interests. One of them is watching cartoons from television shows or YouTube. Elementary school-age children tend to enter a phase of imitating what they see, hear and feel. This is very important for all parents to pay attention to, because the movies they watch can affect the character or personality of the child. This study aims to determine the moral values ​​in the lion king film for elementary school children that can be used as character reinforcement. This research uses a qualitative approach with a narrative study type of research that analyzes the content of the lion king film. The way to analyze the data in this study is by playing the film, then recording the contents of the lion king film and transferring the results of the notes to the form of dialogue between characters which shows the existence of moral values ​​that can be used as character strengthening. The results of this study found that there were eleven moral values ​​in accordance with Thomas Lickona's (1991) theory of knowing goodness, doing good, and loving kindness. In addition, these moral values ​​also have relevance to character strengthening in accordance with the 2017 Ministry of Education and Culture regulations. The impact of the lion king film itself is expected to strengthen children's character and develop motivation in children's activities in their daily lives. It can be seen that the lion king film has moral values ​​that should be imitated by elementary school children.

Animal-associated microbiomes are critical to the well-being and proper functioning of the animal host, but only limited studies have examined in-sect microbiomes across different developmental stages. These studies revealed large shifts in microbiome communities, often because of significant shifts in diet during insects’ life cycle. Establishing insect colonies as model laboratory organisms and understanding how to properly feed and care for animals with complex and dynamic life cycles requires improved data. This study examined laboratory raised green June beetles (Cotinis nitida) captured from the field upon emergence from pupae. Starting with wild-caught adults, two generations of beetles were reared in the laboratory, ending with an entirely laboratory raised generation of larvae. The study compared the microbiomes of each generation and the microbiomes of larvae to adults. This study suggests that a diet of commercial, washed fruit for adults and commercial, packaged, organic alfalfa meal for larvae resulted in depauperate gut microbiome communities. Fermentative yeasts were completely absent in the laboratory-raised adults, and major bacterial population shifts occurred from one generation to the next, coupled with high morbidity and mortality in the laboratory-raised generation. Providing laboratory-raised beetles fresh-collected fruit and the larvae field-harvested detritus may therefore vastly improve their health and survival.

This study investigates the relationship between fintech and banks and how this relationship is affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We use monthly stock data of all banks consistently listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from February 2018 to March 2021. For fintech data, we use a total of four proxies that encompass both lending and borrowing aspects of peer-to-peer lending fintech. To provide robust results, we use five model specifications. Furthermore, we also estimate the models using both the fixed effect and the two-step system generalized method of moments estimators. To see the dynamics of the relationship between fintech and banks before and during the pandemic, we estimate one of our five models using half-yearly data for each semester from the second semester of 2018 to the second semester of 2020. Our fixed effect and two-step system generalized method of moments estimates indicate a relatively less negative impact of fintech on bigger banks. This relationship is further exemplified during the COVID-19 pandemic period. We argue that these findings have significant implications for the Indonesian financial authorities’ open banking strategy and for the future of the Indonesian financial system in general.

The goal of our study is to examine the impact of natural disasters on the South Pacific Stock Exchange. We use daily time-series data for Fiji’s stock market for the period 2000-2019. Our empirical framework is based on three factor regression models, namely the market model, the Fama and French three-factor model, and the Fama and French five-factor model. We find evidence that natural disasters in Fiji reduce abnormal returns in the most relevant five-factor model. Additionally, we provide evidence that different types of natural disasters have heterogeneous effects on Fiji’s stock market. Our findings are further supported by a robustness check.

The conventional methods of treating cancer with chemo- and radiotherapy present plenty of serious problems, such as low therapeutic index and high systemic toxicity. The advanced cancer treatment strategies utilize nanoformulations of drugs that can enter a tumor due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, EPR fails in the treatment of several human diseases. Therefore, mainstream biomedical studies are focused on creating the drugs that would enter the tumor with higher effectiveness and require smaller doses for administration. A two-step targeted drug delivery system (DDS), involving the tumor pre-targeting with the first non-toxic module and subsequent targeting with the second complementary toxic module, is a solution for decreasing systemic toxicity. To meet the challenge, we have developed the two-step DDS mediated by the high-affinity binding of the barnase*barstar protein pair, one of the strongest known protein*protein complexes with Kaff = 1014 M−1. Ribonuclease barnase (12 kDa) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its natural inhibitor barstar (10 kDa) act as lego bricks linking the first and the second modules on the surface of the cancer cell. Artificial scaffold polypeptide DARPin9_29 (14 kDa) recognizing HER2 oncomarker was genetically fused with barstar to serve the first module of the developed two-step DDS. A therapeutic PLGA-based nanocarrier coupled to barnase was used as a second module. The PLGA nanoparticles were loaded with diagnostic dye, Nile Blue, and chemotherapeutic drug, doxorubicin. We showed that the two-step DDS increases the performance of chemotherapy-loaded nanocarriers both in vitro and in vivo compared to the one-step DDS. Namely, we showed that IC50 of doxorubicin delivered via two-step DDS is more than 100 times lower than that for one-step DDS: IC50 = 43 ± 3 nM for two-step DDS vs. IC50 = 4972 ± 1965 nM for one-step DDS. Moreover, the developed two-step DDS based on barnase*barstar showed superior efficiency in image-guided cancer therapy: HER2-positive tumors’ treatment tests showed the tumor growth inhibition index TGI = 68.4% for one-step DDS and TGI = 94.9% for two-step DDS. The obtained results demonstrate the significant efficiency of two-step drug delivery over the classical one-step one. We believe that the obtained data will significantly change the direction of research in developing targeted anti-cancer drugs and promote the creation of new-generation cancer treatment strategies.

BackgroundHearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders. The consequences of hearing loss and its effect on the mothers of these children on the one hand and the emphasis of previous research on the effectiveness of educational interventions along with the lack of comparative studies on the other hand prompted us to do this research. Educational interventions have been approved for prevention of unwanted effects between mother and child. One of these interventions is a positive parenting program. This educational program seeks to create a useful relationship between mother and child. Another life skills training intervention enables life skills to cope.MethodsThis study was a randomized clinical trial. The research sample consisting of 46 mothers who have child with hearing loss were divided into two groups: a positive parenting training group and a group that was trained in a life skills program. The workshops of both groups were accomplished online due to the limitations caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Data collection tools were three questionnaires of parenting, life skills, and general health that were completed in both pre-test and post-test stages. For data analysis, SPSS software version 26 was used.ResultsThe results indicate that parenting education in mothers with children with hearing impairment has significantly reduced anxiety and depression. ConclusionsThis research showed that parenting education has increased the quality of life of mothers with children with hearing impairment and the positive effects of this education are confirmed.Trial registration: IRCT20201014049023N1.

CAFs-derived Rho-associated Kinase1 Mediated EMT to Promote Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Metastasis
Authors: yang liyun , Gong Shiqi , huang shuixian , Zhou jieyu , Hu An
Published: February 2022

Background
Interactions between tumor and tumor microenvironment is essential for tumor metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), as the activated fibroblasts in tumor stroma, are important modifiers of tumor progression. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the tumor-promoting properties of CAFs in Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) remains unclear.
Methods
CAFs, CPFs and NFs were isolated and identified from laryngeal cancer, para-laryngeal cancer and normal tissues. Immunofluorescent staining and Western Blot were used to detect the expression of related proteins. Wound healing, migration, invasion and animal experiments were used to examine the ability of movement, migration, invasion and metastasis of LSCC.
Results
ROCK1, not ROCK2, was highly expressed in CAFs and CAFs enhanced LSCC metastasis in vivo and vitro, and downregulation of ROCK1 in CAFs inhibited migration and invasion. Increasing ROCK1 expression in NFs possessed opposite results. Further studies revealed that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and JAK2/STAT3/ERK1/2 pathway might play an essential role in promoting metastasis of LSCC. In addition, inhibition of ROCK1 or JAK2/STAT3/ERK1/2 signal molecules via inhibitors significantly reduced EMT and metastasis in vivo and vitro.
Conclusions
CAFs-derived ROCK1 via JAK2/STAT3/ERK1/2 axis mediated EMT to promote LSCC metastasis and targeting ROCK1/JAK2/STAT3/ERK1/2 might provide a potential treatment strategy for LSCC.
