Authors: Rosa Cristina , Nunes Erika dos Santos , Armstrong Anderson da Costa
Published: January 2021

A prevalência geral dos sintomas depressivos entre estudantes de medicina está em torno de 27,2% em nível global e de 30,6% no Brasil. Neste estudo objetivamos investigar o estado da saúde mental nas escolas de medicina do Brasil a partir da identificação dos estudos realizados no Brasil entre 2008 e 2018 sobre a prevalência e fatores de risco de depressão e sintomas depressivos entre estudantes de medicina. Foram poucos os estudos encontrados (21), concentrados nas regiões Sul-Sudeste e que apontam uma prevalência com alto grau de variabilidade (5,6% a 79%). Embora a maior parte dos estudos tenham utilizado o mesmo instrumento Inventário Depressivo de Beck (BDI), as diferenças nas metodologias divergem desde o recorte da análise realizada (de ideação suicida a sintomas depressivos), quanto na amostra e na variabilidade dos métodos utilizados (alguns analisaram os graus dos sintomas depressivos, e outros fizeram ainda um filtro de identificação dos falsos positivos). Nossos achados estão alinhados com outros estudos que relatam a precarização da saúde mental entre estudantes de medicina, o que sugere uma provável ocorrência global problema e uma prevalência elevada entre os futuros médicos brasileiros.
Prospects in innovative manufacturing technology of UHMWPE for prostheses and comparison with medical grade UHMWPE
Authors: Ureczki Ágnes , Keszei Kitti
Published: January 2021

Due to its properties like high load-bearing capacity, biocompatibility, excellent abrasion resistance and strength, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is widely used as a bearing material in the field of joint prostheses. Currently, UHMWPE is produced by compression molding, ram extrusion or sintering, followed by post-processing techniques, such as milling or machining to finalize the prosthesis geometry and to achieve the final tolerances. With post-processing techniques we are wasting a high cost material, energy and time. In this paper, we collected manufacturing technologies that has have the potential to be used for creating prosthesis with one step production, minimalize material loss and with a view to providing customized manufacturing capabilities. We compared three technologies: (i) ram extrusion (currently used technology for joint prosthesis), (ii) FDM printing and (iii) injection molding. In addition to the feasibility, we focus on the investigation of mechanical properties. Three tests were performed on the manufactured specimens: hardness measurement, tensile test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to compare the finished parts produced by the different processing technologies.
Fém implantátumok okozta CT műtermékek csökkentése
Authors: Árvai Péter , Forgács Attila , Manó Sándor
Published: January 2021

A Debreceni Egyetem Ortopédiai Tanszékének Biomechanikai Laboratóriuma rendszeresen állít elő személyre szabott mozgásszervi implantátumokhoz kiegészítő célzókat, öntőformákat, valamint a célok között szerepel a 3D nyomtató segítségével előállított titán implantátumok gyártása is. Ehhez a beteg jó minőségű CT felvétele alapján számítógépes programokkal létrehozott voxelekből felépülő adatokra van szükség. Ezen betegek egy része már jelenleg is rendelkezik valamilyen implantátummal, amelyet az új személyre szabott implantátummal terveznek helyettesíteni. A hagyományos CT felvételeken a különböző struktúrák eltérő denzitás értékei miatt fiziológiás esetben is megfigyelhetőek műtermékek, amelyek akár a diagnózis felállítását is lehetetlenné tehetik. Különösen igaz ez abban az esetben ha a páciens valamilyen fém implantátumot hordoz a testében, legyen az csípő-, térd-vagy adott esetben fogászati implantátum. A kutatócsoportunk munkája szempontjából azonban nem elég biztos diagnózishoz elégséges szintre redukálni a műtermékeket, mert a csontok pontos háromdimenziós rekonstrukciójához szinte műtermék mentes CT felvételekre van szükségünk. Kísérletünk célja egy olyan CT-leképezési módszer kidolgozása volt, amely révén a fém artefaktumok mennyisége nem csak lecsökken, de összességében véve el is tűnik. Irodalmi adatok arra utaltak, hogy a leképezés axiális síkjának módosításakor a fém műtermékek eloszlása módosul, így a korábban értékelhetetlen területek feltisztulnak. Hipotézisünk vizsgálatára csontos marhalábszárból és medencéből álló rendszerbe beültetett csípőízületi protézissel készítettünk fantomot, amelyet CT készülékkel axiális, szagittális és köztes szögpozíciókban leképeztünk. Továbbá felvételeket készítettünk a fantomról implantátum nélkül is valamint szoftveres artefaktum csökkentő programmal (MAR) is igyekeztünk a képeket javítani. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy sikerült egy olyan módszer és ajánlás kidolgozása, amellyel lényegesen csökkenthető a fém implantátumok által okozott műtermék mértéke.

The situational approach was used to select the final rational solution from a set of solutions belonging to the Pareto-optimal domain. The rational design of option the washer found using the proposed approach is compared with the existing ones. The proposed design methodology can be recommended for the design of a wide range of similar mechanical structures.
Vocabulary enrichment of modern English via world-formation (on the material of the language of COVID-19 pandemic)
Authors: Karpova Kateryna , Chaiuk Tetyana
Published: January 2021

The article addresses the issue of actual changes in modern English lexicon resulting from COVID-19 pandemic. It is a common fact, that the emergence of coronavirus disease has influenced the globe in many different ways. The novel coronavirus has infected millions of people around the world since it first emerged in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. At present new ailment turned out to be a respiratory infection with significant concern for global public health hazards predominantly due to its rapid proliferation. As a result, it has compelled governments of different countries to lock down their populations to a degree unimaginable until recently. In the wake of coronavirus pandemic, we observe drastic multi-faceted changes in various spheres, including English. In this respect, the aim of current study is to find out and explore immediate namings of COVID-19-related language corpora: the disease itself and disease-related terms, words and collocations denoting mainly negative human reaction to global threat as well as of new lifestyle and working habits caused by COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, the paper presents traditional division of word-forming patterns into productive, semi-productive and non-productive and focuses on blending and abbreviation as the most productive models in modern English. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the data of the research are newly-coined namings as well as already existed lexical units of COVID-19-related vocabulary and collocations, which have been actualized or undergone semantic transformations in response to world pandemic. Language data have been collected from English dictionaries, dictionaries of modern slang, British and American media, Internet resources, and retrieved from March to September 2020. The authors resort to the following methods of scientific investigation: analysis, synthesis, systematization, taxonomy, induction, deduction, data collection and observation, lexico-semantic and contextual analysis, interpretation of dictionary definitions.
Взгляд как философская проблема и клиническая реальность
Authors: Попова Ольга Владимировна
Published: January 2021

В статье исследуются различные этические аспекты проблемы взгляда. Показано, что философская традиция тематизации взгляда связана с особой рефлексией, спровоцированной ситуацией появления в поле зрения субъекта (Другого), заставляющего соотносить опыт присутствия в этом мире с позицией наблюдателя. Последний, являясь фактически судьей, вынуждает субъекта конституировать себя под чьим-либо пристальным взором. Тело, захваченное взглядом Другого, вызывает чувство утраты субъективности, а вместе с тем и свободы воли. Оно объективируется и низводится на уровень предметного мира, становится объектом манипуляции — тем, чем можно обладать и что можно использовать в своих собственных целях.

Развитие биомедицинских и информационных технологий открывает новые грани осмысления проблематики взгляда. С одной стороны, взгляд Другого формируется в пространстве клинической реальности, где экспертное знание врача определяет степень патологического состояния человеческой телесности. С другой, он дополняется «взглядом» технического устройства, позволяющего вынести вердикт об истинных причинах заболевания, которому может делегироваться полномочия эксперта.

Современная биотехнологическая революция приносит новые способы воздействия на биологию человека, а также новый способ взгляда на клиническое тело и видения биологической реальности сквозь призму биомедицинских технологий. Развиваются представления о клеточной, молекулярной, генетической идентичности человека. Трансформация клинического взгляда в эпоху биотехнологий приводит к широкому распространению представлений о лабильности человеческой природы, ее способности к бесконечным трансформациям: природу модифицируют в различных вариациях, конструируя новые образы биологической реальности. Взгляд фиксирует не просто данность природы, но ее заданность, способность стать проектом пластического хирурга — врача и художника в одном лице.

Кроме того, интенсивное развитие информационных технологий приводит к появлению цифровых репрезентаций человеческого тела. Информационные базы данных, которыми оперирует современная медицина (например, при существующих биобанках), имеют дело не с телесностью как таковой, но с ее информационной репрезентацией. Современность также поставила перед «философией взгляда» проблему «техновзгляда». Под ним подразумевается феномен приписывания технике (например, программному обеспечению, камерам, гуманоидным роботам) функции Другого (судьи, эксперта и т. д.), наблюдающего за человеком.
Восприятие деревянных сельских церквей в постсоветской России (на примере Архангельской области)
Authors: Плужникова Анастасия Сергеевна
Published: January 2021

В статье рассматривается проблема сохранения историко-архитектурного наследия Архангельской области. С 1918 г. по разным причинам продолжается интенсивное разрушение деревянных церквей русского Севера периода Российской империи. Обычно сохраняются лишь фрагменты прежних ансамблей. Автор отмечает, что они важны для русской культурной идентичности. Требует решения вопрос о сохранении природного окружения церквей.

В условиях недостаточного государственного финансирования основную роль в реставрации церквей с 2006 г. играют группы волонтеров. Делается вывод о том, что сокращение сельского населения делает перспективы сохранения большинства памятников архитектуры весьма мрачными.

Seismotectonic Snapshots: The 18 March 2020 Mw 5.7 Magna, 31 March 2020 Mw 6.5 Stanley, and 15 May 2020 Mw 6.5 Monte Cristo Intermountain West Earthquakes
Authors: Wesnousky Steven G.
Published: January 2021

Seismological characteristics of the 18 March 2020 Mw 5.7 Magna, 31 March 2020 Mw 6.5 Stanley, and 15 May 2020 Mw 6.5 Monte Cristo Intermountain West earthquakes are largely consistent with expectations arising from observations accumulated over the ∼40  yr since implementation and subsequent growth of seismic networks in the broad region. Each occurred within a zone of relatively elevated seismicity, active faults, and geodetically observed strain accumulation. Aftershock distributions in each are confined primarily to depths of <15  km, and the total number of aftershocks correlates with the relative size of the events. In each case, the number per day decays exponentially in the days following the mainshock. None of the mainshocks was preceded by a foreshock sequence that delivered a plausible warning of the impending earthquakes. With respect to tectonics, each earthquake brings new insights. The Stanley and Monte Cristo earthquakes are at the margins of geodetically defined regions of right-lateral transtension, though the pattern of faulting in each region is markedly different. The strike-slip mechanism of the Stanley earthquake stands in contrast to the zone of normal major range bounding faults and historical earthquake ruptures that characterize the region in which it occurred and is the first relatively well instrumented event to show a rupture extending northward through the Trans-Challis fault system. The Magna event has been interpreted to represent low-angle normal slip near the base of a listric Wasatch range bounding fault (Pang et al., 2020). The east-striking left-lateral Monte Cristo earthquake within the Walker Lane is in contrast to the major northwest-striking right-lateral faults that dominate the area, though predictable from prior regional mapping. Surface rupture reportedly accompanied only the Monte Cristo earthquake, though its trace does not clearly follow the zone of aftershocks.

Published: January 2021

In this study, a β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) bone tissue scaffold was loaded with osteogenesis-promoting drug HA15 and constructed by three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. This drug delivery system with favorable biomechanical properties, bone conduction function, and local release of osteogenic drugs could provide the basis for the treatment of bone defects. The biomechanical properties of the scaffold were investigated by compressive testing, showing comparable biomechanical properties with cancellous bone tissue. Furthermore, the microstructure, pore morphology, and condition were studied. Moreover, the drug release concentration, the effect of antituberculosis drugs in vitro and in rabbit radial defects, and the ability of the scaffold to repair the defects were studied. The results show that the scaffold loaded with HA15 can promote cell differentiation into osteoblasts in vitro, targeting HSPA5. The micro-computed tomography scans showed that after 12 weeks of scaffold implantation, the defect of the rabbit radius was repaired and the peripheral blood vessels were regenerated. Thus, HA15 can target HSPA5 to inhibit endoplasmic reticulum stress which finally leads to promotion of osteogenesis, bone regeneration, and angiogenesis in the rabbit bone defect model. Overall, the 3D-printed β-TCP/PLGA-loaded HA15 bone tissue scaffold can be used as a substitute material for the treatment of bone defects because of its unique biomechanical properties and bone conductivity.

Authors: Mohammed Noorullah R. , Mohammed Moulana
Published: January 2021

Text data clustering is performed for organizing the set of text documents into the desired number of coherent and meaningful sub-clusters. Modeling the text documents in terms of topics derivations is a vital task in text data clustering. Each tweet is considered as a text document, and various topic models perform modeling of tweets. In existing topic models, the clustering tendency of tweets is assessed initially based on Euclidean dissimilarity features. Cosine metric is more suitable for more informative assessment, especially of text clustering. Thus, this paper develops a novel cosine based external and interval validity assessment of cluster tendency for improving the computational efficiency of tweets data clustering. In the experimental, tweets data clustering results are evaluated using cluster validity indices measures. Experimentally proved that cosine based internal and external validity metrics outperforms the other using benchmarked and Twitter-based datasets.

Authors: Sridevi Gutta , Midhunchakkravarthy
Published: January 2021

As the size of the cloud-based applications and its tasks are increasing exponentially, it is necessary to estimate the load balancing metrics in the real-time cloud computing environments. Hybrid load balancing framework play a vital role in the cloud-based applications and tasks monitoring and resource allocation. Most of the conventional load balancing metrics are dependent on limited number of cloud metrics and type of virtual machines. Also, these models require high computational memory and time on large number of tasks. In this paper, an advanced multi-level statistical load balancer-based parameters estimation model is designed and implemented on the real-time cloud computing environment. In this model, a novel statistical load balancing data collector is used to find the best metrics for the load balance computation. In this model, different types of tasks are simulated under different virtual machine types such as small, medium and large instances. Experimental results show that the proposed multi-level based statistical load balancing collector has better efficiency than the conventional models in terms of memory utilization, CPU utilization, runtime and reliability are concerned.

Authors: Akbar Shaik , Midhunchakkaravarthy Divya
Published: January 2021

Image thresholding-based segmentation models play a vital role in the detection of Diabetic retinopathy (DR) on large databases. Most of the conventional segmentation-based classification models are independent of over segmented regions and outliers. Also, these models have less true positive rate and high error rate on different DR feature sets. In order to overcome these problems, a novel filtered based segmentation framework is designed and implemented on the large DR feature space. In this work, a novel image filtering approach, optimal image segmentation approach and hybrid Bayesian deep learning framework are developed on the large DR image databases. Experimental results proved that the proposed filtered segmentation-based Bayesian deep neural network has better accuracy and runtime than the conventional models on different DR variation databases.
Unique Lion Identification Using Triplet Loss and Siamese Networks
Authors: Hermon Glen Bennet , Sharma Durgansh
Published: January 2021

Former techniques for the identification of lion individuals (Panthera leo) relied on manual methods of recording data. Such processes have various shortcomings due to the manual nature of recording this data. This research work aims to automate the process of encoding the uniqueness within the whisker spot patterns for each lion individual by non-invasively using photographs. Towards this research work the main bottleneck was the availability of image data for individual lions. The proposed model embeds the uniqueness within the patterns for a specific individual as a unique cluster within its embedding space. This is achieved by using a triplet loss function which, due to its one-shot learning nature trains a deep inception network with less training data. Photographic images are known to have variations in lighting, pose variation, angle variation and other inconsistencies. Since the nature of these issues are nonlinear, it is preferred to create the target model using deep learning techniques. An inception network is trained to generate 128-dimensional vectors unique to each lion. This research paper elaborates on such deep machine learning techniques and other processes that are used to create this model.

Published: January 2021

Clustering emerged as powerful mechanism to analyze the massive data generated by modern applications; the main aim of it is to categorize the data into clusters where objects are grouped into the particular category. However, there are various challenges while clustering the big data recently. Deep Learning has been powerful paradigm for big data analysis, this requires huge number of samples for training the model, which is time consuming and expensive. This can be avoided though fuzzy approach. In this research work, we design and develop an Improvised Fuzzy C-Means (IFCM)which comprises the encoder decoder Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) technique to enhance the clustering mechanism. Encoder decoder based CNN is used for learning feature and faster computation. In general, FCM, we introduce a function which measure the distance between the cluster center and instance which helps in achieving the better clustering and later we introduce Optimized Encoder Decoder (OED) CNN model for improvising the performance and for faster computation. Further in order to evaluate the proposed mechanism, three distinctive data types namely Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (MNIST), fashion MNIST and United States Postal Service (USPS) are used, also evaluation is carried out by considering the performance metric like Accuracy, Adjusted Rand Index (ARI) and Normalized Mutual Information (NMI). Moreover, comparative analysis is carried out on each dataset and comparative analysis shows that IFCM outperforms the existing model.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Health information seeking and knowledge acquisition play an important role in the management of chronic diseases such as hypertension. The purpose of this study was to determine the information sources used by hypertensive patients in self-management of patients referred to Jahrom... health centers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 396 hypertensive patients who were selected by cluster sampling from six urban-rural health centers of Jahrom City in 2016. Data gathering tool was a 17-question researcher-made questionnaire that was used after validation and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square test by SPSS version 16 software.
Results: 61.40% (243 patients) of patients with hypertension had information about their disease after developing hypertention. Most of their information sources were physicians and health workers 60.02% (236 people), family and friends 31.12% (122 people) and other patients 25.8% (101 people) and mass media 24.51% respectively. 96 people). 35.4% (n = 86) of patients admitted that this acquisition of knowledge has decreased their referrals to specialized levels  The most important reasons for not obtaining information in 35.29% (140 people) were difficulty and lack of access to information resources.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed a relatively high and good knowledge of the patients after the disease. The most frequently used sources of information were physicians and health workers. Therefore, it is imperative that health professionals use effective ways of transmitting information to these people.
Primary healthcare policy and vision for community pharmacy and pharmacists in Germany
Authors: Eickhoff Christiane , Griese-Mammen Nina , Mueller Uta , Said André , Schulz Martin
Published: January 2021

Germany is the highest populated country in Europe with a population of 82.3 million in 2019. As in many other developed countries, it has an aging population. Approximately 10% of the gross domestic product is spent on healthcare. The healthcare system is characterized by its accessibility. Patients are generally free to choose their primary care physicians, both family doctors and specialists, pharmacy, dentist, or emergency service. Up to a certain income, health insurance is mandatory with the statutory health insurance (SHI) system, covering 88% of the population. Major challenges are the lack of cooperation and integration between the different sectors and healthcare providers. This is expected to change with the introduction of a telematic infrastructure that is currently being implemented. It will not only connect all providers in primary and secondary care in a secure network but will also enable access to patients’ electronic record/medical data and at the same time switch from paper to electronic prescriptions. Approximately 52,000 of the 67,000 pharmacists are working in approximately 19,000 community pharmacies. These pharmacies are owner-operated by a pharmacist. Pharmacists may own up to three subsidiaries nearby to their main pharmacy. Community pharmacy practice mainly consists of dispensing drugs, counselling patients on drug therapy and safety, and giving advice on lifestyle and healthy living. Many cognitive pharmaceutical services have been developed and evaluated in the past 20 years. Discussions within the profession and with stakeholders on the national level on the roles and responsibilities of pharmacists have resulted in nationally agreed guidelines, curricula, and services. However, cognitive services remunerated by the SHI funds on the national level remain to be negotiated and sustainably implemented. A law passed in November 2020 by parliament will regulate the remuneration of pharmaceutical services by the SHI funds with an annual budget of EUR 150 million. The type of services and their remuneration remain to be negotiated in 2021. The profession has to continue on all levels to advocate for a change in pharmacy practice by introducing pharmacy services into routine care.

In this paper, we studied the category of EQ-algebras and showed that it is complete, but it is not cocomplete, in general. We proved that multiplicatively relative EQ-algebras have coequlizers and we calculated coproduct and pushout in a special case. Also, we constructed a free EQ-algebra on a singleton.
Super-Strict Implications
Authors: Gherardi Guido , Orlandelli Eugenio
Published: January 2021

This paper introduces the logics of super-strict implications, where a super-strict implication is a strengthening of C.I. Lewis' strict implication that avoids not only the paradoxes of material implication but also those of strict implication. The semantics of super-strict implications is obtained by strengthening the (normal) relational semantics for strict implication. We consider all logics of super-strict implications that are based on relational frames for modal logics in the modal cube. it is shown that all logics of super-strict implications are connexive logics in that they validate Aristotle's Theses and (weak) Boethius's Theses. A proof-theoretic characterisation of logics of super-strict implications is given by means of G3-style labelled calculi, and it is proved that the structural rules of inference are admissible in these calculi. It is also shown that validity in the S5-based logic of super-strict implications is equivalent to validity in G. Priest's negation-as-cancellation-based logic. Hence, we also give a cut-free calculus for Priest's logic.
New venture creation: a systematic review of associated literature
Authors: Donaldson Colin , Mateu Guillermo
Published: January 2021

New venture creation is an integral facet of entrepreneurship and as consequence has been subject to increased research attention within extant literature. Although momentum has been gained in search of explicating this broad and diverse phenomenon there is still great potential to further our understanding. Progress in expanding knowledge will be most effective if we are able to constructively build upon explicitly recognised common foci that can serve as a foundation to cooperative contribution. The current article has the objective of providing an up-to-date thematic overview via systematic means of the main research interests that are being attended to within the new venture creation domain. The study is based on a comprehensive search of the SCOPUS database up until, and including, the year 2017. Thus, there is the useful and original provision of a parsimonious overview of the many heterogenous factors implicated within the process. Citation analysis is used as a framework to distinguish influential publications and their interconnections, with intellectual foundations and theoretical underpinnings driving research presented. A key implication of the work is the provision of a classification of key trending themes based on four priority constructs that can inspire new research avenues and greater collaboration in future investigative efforts.

Les girafes de lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™ouest (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta) vivent en petites populations isolÃ©es au Sud-est du Niger et partagent leur espace de vie avec la communautÃ© locale. La girafe fait face Ã  de nombreuses menaces directes et indirectes dans lâ€™ensemble de son aire de distribution. Lâ€™objectif de cette Ã©tude est dâ€™identifier sur le plan historique les changements et les menaces de la conservation des girafes de lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™ouest. Ainsi, pendant la recherche, les publications de 1970 Ã  2019 (MÃ©moires, articles scientifiques, rapports techniques) ont Ã©tÃ© Ã©valuÃ©es. Au totale 100 articles, mÃ©moires et rapports techniques ont Ã©tÃ© tÃ©lÃ©chargÃ©s et 35 ont Ã©tÃ© Ã©valuÃ©s et inclus pour la rÃ©daction. Lâ€™Ã©valuation a permis de recenser les mesures de protection et de conservation qui ont Ã©tÃ© prises par des programmes et associations pour la sauvegarde des girafes du Niger. En plus, les rÃ©sultats ont mis en Ã©vidence les diffÃ©rentes menaces pesant sur les girafes de lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™ouest. Les principales menaces concernent la perte dâ€™habitat, lâ€™expansion des activitÃ©s agricoles, la croissance dÃ©mographique, la sÃ©cheresse, les conflits homme/faune et le braconnage. Pour mieux comprendre la situation, il est indispensable de mener une Ã©tude approfondie sur les causes de perte dâ€™habitat de la girafe de lâ€™Afrique de lâ€™ouest.
West African giraffes (Giraffa camelopardalis peralta) live in small isolated populations in southeastern Niger and share their living space with the local community. The giraffe faces many direct and indirect threats throughout its range. The objective of this study is to identify historical changes and threats to the conservation of West African giraffes. Thus, during the research, publications from 1970 to 2019 (Memoirs, scientific articles, technical reports) were evaluated. A total of 100 articles, memoirs and technical reports were uploaded and 35 were evaluated and included for editing. The evaluation made it possible to identify the protection and conservation measures that have been taken by programs and associations for the safeguarding of the giraffes of Niger. In addition, the results highlighted the various threats to West African giraffes. The main threats concern habitat loss, expansion of agricultural activities, population growth, drought, human/wildlife conflicts and poaching. To better understand the situation, it is essential to conduct an in-depth study on the causes of habitat loss of the West African giraffe.

Resumen
Este artÃ­culo presenta una revisiÃ³n bibliogrÃ¡fica acerca del tratamiento que se le proporciona a la diversidad cultural en la Literatura Infantil, concretamente, en Ã¡lbumes ilustrados y cuentos, con la pretensiÃ³n de conocer el estado de la cuestiÃ³n. Cabe destacar, que se ha hallado informaciÃ³n actual y relevante puesto que se comprueba que la Literatura Infantil contribuye al desarrollo de la identidad y de las relaciones interpersonales, al reflejar diferentes culturas en las ilustraciones y textos. De igual modo, las lecturas transmiten emociones y valores que ayudan a construir las sociedades democrÃ¡ticas e inclusivas del siglo XXI. Para ello, es fundamental la guÃ­a y la intervenciÃ³n de agentes. Entre los temas que mÃ¡s aparecen en las publicaciones de esta Ã­ndole, destacan las migraciones, el mundo Ã¡rabe y el pueblo gitano. Entre las conclusiones extraÃ­das, se detecta que las personas refugiadas son, en muchas ocasiones, protagonistas de estos libros; las ilustraciones tienen su propio lenguaje, por lo que se hace necesario decodificarlo e interpretarlo con capacidad crÃ­tica; y que la diversidad cultural, que comenzÃ³ su apogeo literario hace un par de dÃ©cadas, sigue en ascenso; no obstante, hay que continuar dÃ¡ndole visibilidad para que sus colores no se diluyan en el marco de la globalizaciÃ³n.
This article presents a bibliographic review about the treatment of cultural diversity in Childrenâ€™s Literature, specifically, in illustrated albums and stories with the aim of knowing the state of the issue. It should be noted that current and relevant information has been found that it is proved that Childrenâ€™s Literature contributes to the development of identity and interpersonal relationships, reflecting different cultures in illustrations and texts. In the same way, the readings convey emotions and principles that help to build democratic and inclusive societies of the 21st century. To this end, the guidance and intervention of agents are essential. Migration, the Arab world and the Roma people are among the topics that most appear in publications of this kind. In regard to the conclusions drawn, it is detected that refugees are the principal characters of these books on many occasions; illustrations have their own language, so it becomes necessary to decode and interpreted it with critical ability; and cultural diversity, which began its literary heyday a couple of decades ago, is still on the rise. However, visibility must continue to be gained so that its colors are not diluted within the framework of globalization.

Authors: Canosa Victoria Figueredo
Published: January 2021

La relevancia del uso de las TecnologÃ­as de la InformaciÃ³n y la ComunicaciÃ³n (TIC) en la actualidad, junto a su potencial para favorecer la interculturalidad, suponen una oportunidad para impulsar la creaciÃ³n y difusiÃ³n de recursos y herramientas TIC que promuevan la educaciÃ³n intercultural entre todos los miembros de la comunidad educativa. En este estudio se presentan recursos TIC creados y/o impulsados por instituciones pÃºblicas, sindicatos y asociaciones espaÃ±olas con el objetivo de promover la interculturalidad entre la comunidad educativa. La selecciÃ³n de los mismos se realiza en base a los criterios de utilidad y calidad. Como conclusiÃ³n, destacar que, a pesar de la existencia de diversos recursos TIC, la nueva modalidad educativa imperante no ha derivado en la prolifereaciÃ³n de nuevos recursos dirigidos a favorecer la prÃ¡ctica educativa intercultural. En este sentido, se hace primordial aprovechar las oportunidades y potencialidades que brindan las TIC para promover la educaciÃ³n intercultural, favoreciendo tanto el acceso a informaciÃ³n como la interacciÃ³n, la comunicaciÃ³n y la colaboraciÃ³n entre las diferentes personas y colectivos que conforman las comunidades educativas.
The current relevance of the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) together with its potential to promote interculturality, represent an opportunity to boost the creation and dissemination of ICT resources and tools that promote intercultural education among all members of the educational community. This study presents ICT resources created and/or promoted by Spanish public institutions, unions and associations with the aim of promoting interculturality among the educational community. Their selection is made based on the criteria of utility and quality. In conclusion, it should be noted that, despite the availability of diverse ICT resources, the new educational modality has not led to the proliferation of new resources aimed at promoting intercultural educational practice. In this respect, it is essential to grasp the opportunities and potentialities that ICTs provide to promote intercultural education by favouring just as the access to information as interaction, communication and collaboration between the different people and groups that shape the educational communities.
