Authors: Cornejo Franco Daniel
Published: July 2024

El trabajo de niños, niñas y adolescentes es un fenómeno social a nivel mundial. La Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) pone como prioridad la erradicación del mismo por las características y las condiciones en las que se manifiesta y la vulneración de los derechos en favor de estos, haciendo énfasis en los diversos trabajos peligrosos en los que se exponen. La investigación considera como objetivo general. Analizar los riesgos de los niños y adolescentes expuestos en las fases de recolección de la Bertholletia Excelsa (castaña) en el municipio de Puerto Rico. Los objetivos específicos planteados son los siguientes: Identificar el número de población existente en el Municipio de Puerto Rico. Identificar el número de las familias que trabajan con la recolección de castaña en el Municipio de Puerto Rico. Determinar cuántos niños, niñas y adolescentes participan en fases de recolección. Determinar las horas de trabajo de los niños y adolescentes. Generar indicadores de riesgo de acuerdo a los trastornos físicos y emocionales. En la Zona Amazónica del departamento de Pando, durante los meses de noviembre a diciembre, se realiza la zafra de castaña, en la cual una gran cantidad de familias se dedica a la recolección y acopio en gran parte, empleando a la mayoría de los miembros de la familia con diferentes funciones. Se identificó a 1550 familias que participan de la actividad económica de la zafra en el municipio de Puerto Rico, de las cuales se encuestó a 632, con un promedio de 4 a 6 miembros por familia. Se destaca que ningún niño participa de la recolección de castaña dentro de las familias del municipio. Los adolescentes sí participan de la actividad económica; un porcentaje significativo de adolescentes contribuyen a esta actividad para apoyar económicamente a sus familias. Además, se evidencia que la mayoría de los adolescentes no sufren consecuencias físicas ni emocionales significativas debido a esta actividad. A pesar de los desafíos, muchos adolescentes experimentan emociones positivas como alegría y amor al participar en la recolección de castaña y ayudar a sus familias.

La región amazónica, reconocida por su vasta biodiversidad y recursos naturales, es un área de significativa importancia geopolítica. Las naciones que comparten esta región enfrentan el desafío de equilibrar la conservación ambiental con el desarrollo económico. En ese entendido, el presente pretende analizar las principales corrientes del pensamiento geopolítico relacionadas con la Amazonía, especialmente en Bolivia. Resaltando la tensión histórica e examina la dualidad entre la visión tradicional, que considera a la Amazonía como una región para ser conquistada y explotada por sus recursos naturales, y la visión crítica, que subraya la necesidad de sostenibilidad ambiental y el respeto por los derechos de las comunidades indígenas. Los intereses geopolíticos en la Amazonía incluyen temas como la soberanía nacional, la explotación de recursos naturales, y los derechos de los pueblos indígenas. Los debates contemporáneos se centran en cómo gestionar y proteger este valioso ecosistema. Por un lado, hay argumentos a favor del desarrollo económico y la explotación de recursos, que incluyen la agricultura, la minería y la extracción de petróleo. Por otro lado, se destacan las preocupaciones ambientales y la necesidad de preservar la biodiversidad y los derechos de los pueblos indígenas. Las perspectivas contemporáneas enfatizan la importancia de una gestión sostenible y colaborativa de la región. Se reconoce la necesidad de una estrategia que equilibre el desarrollo económico con la conservación. También se destaca la importancia del rol de la comunidad internacional y las organizaciones ambientales en la protección de la Amazonía. En Bolivia, la Amazonía tiene una relevancia particular debido a su diversidad cultural y su riqueza en recursos naturales. Los fundamentos jurídicos de la geopolítica boliviana en esta región incluyen legislaciones que buscan proteger los derechos de los pueblos indígenas, promover el desarrollo sostenible y regular la explotación de recursos naturales. Bolivia enfrenta el reto de integrar estas políticas en un marco que respete tanto la soberanía nacional como los compromisos internacionales en materia de derechos humanos y protección ambiental. La geopolítica de la Amazonía, y en particular la de Bolivia, es un campo complejo donde convergen intereses ambientales, económicos y culturales, demandando un enfoque equilibrado y sostenible

Aim. The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant became predominant in Turkey in January 2022, coinciding with a rise in SARS-CoV-2–associated hospitalizations. Material and methods. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were collected by the infection control committee through an active surveillance program for COVID-19 throughout the pandemic. The hospitalization rate was included in the model to evaluate the relationship between each wave period and disease severity. The basic demographic data of the patients, and the potential risk factors such as comorbid diseases, and laboratory findings were included in the analysis. Results. The rate of patients who were positive in August (26.8%) was found to be significantly lower than in February (45.9%) (p<.001). The proportion of inpatient patients treatment in August (2.3%) was found to be significantly higher than in February (1.2%) (p <.001). In addition, in the omicron variant patients' wave, the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio was 5.31; and it was observed to be significantly higher than that of the patients (Median = 3.95) in the delta variant wave (p=.023).Discussion. These results provide clinicians with information about the clinical course of COVID-19 patients and are very important for appropriate clinical decision-making in these patients. It is critical to continue to update COVID-19 management protocols based on the latest research.

Die @Fürstinnen in Schleswig-Holstein

Published: July 2024

Lange Zeit stand die Erforschung der Geschichte der Frauen und insbesondere der schleswig-holsteinischen Prinzessinnen im Schatten anderer wissenschaftlicher Themen. Erst in jüngster Zeit ist das Thema verstärkt in den
Fokus der regionalgeschichtlichen Forschung gerückt, wobei die Kieler Abteilung für Regionalgeschichte durchaus für sich in Anspruch nehmen kann, hier eine gewisse Vorreiterrolle gespielt zu haben bzw. den Anstoß dazu
gegeben zu haben. Die historische Forschung kann derzeit auf eine ganze Reihe einschlägiger und weiterführender Studien verweisen. Die Kieler Landesgeschichte hat das Doing Gender für den Bereich der Fürstinnengeschichte
erfolgreich umgesetzt. Bis heute wird die Bedeutung souveräner Herrscherinnen in der Zeit vom Mittelalter bis zum 18. Jahrhundert in der historischen Forschung nur wenig beachtet; die männerdominierte Geschichtsschreibung
des 19. Jahrhunderts hat souveräne Frauenherrschaft weitgehend vergessen gemacht. Jahrhundert hat die souveräne weibliche Herrschaft weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten lassen. Auch wurden Frauen jahrhundertelang in einer
von Männern vorgegebenen Rolle oder in ihrer Beziehung zu Männern bevorzugt, als Mütter, Ehefrauen, Witwen. Aufgrund dieses sozusagen doppelten Filters sind die schriftlichen Quellen über die Arbeit von Frauen begrenzt.
Die Werke der bildenden Kunst hingegen bieten einen breiteren Zugang zur Vergangenheit. Das Mäzenatentum von Künstlern und die Vergabe von Aufträgen für Werke der bildenden Kunst ermöglichten es Frauen, Handlungsspielräume
zu nutzen, die ihnen in anderen Bereichen nicht offenstanden.
Friederike Amalie (1649–1704)
Authors: Greinert Melanie
Published: July 2024

Prinzessin Friederike Amalie von Dänemark und Norwegen (1649-1704) heiratete in die Gottorfer Herzogsfamilie ein und beeinflusste im 17. Jahrhundert die diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen Dänemark, Schweden und Gottorf.
Ihre Heirat mit Herzog Christian Albrecht von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf (1641-1695) war Teil einer umfassenderen Strategie zur Stabilisierung der Machtkämpfe im Ostseeraum durch dynastische Beziehungen. Ihr ganzes Leben
lang navigierte sie durch das komplexe Geflecht von Allianzen und Konflikten und diente als Vermittlerin und Einflussnehmerin inmitten der sich wandelnden politischen Landschaft. Ihre Rolle unterstreicht die Bedeutung
dynastischer Ehen in der europäischen Politik, wo persönliche Verbindungen für die Schaffung von Frieden und Bündnissen entscheidend waren. Friederike Amalies Bemühungen, ihre Loyalitäten zwischen ihrer leiblichen Familie
und ihrer angeheirateten Familie auszubalancieren, veranschaulichen die komplizierte Dynamik, die beim Streben nach Macht und Stabilität in Nordeuropa im Spiel war.

Published: July 2024

Everyday, non-renewable energy sources are being depleted while energy use rises. In response to these arguments, we ought to generate more renewable energy. But a big problem with renewable energy is that its production is weather-dependent. In overcast and unfavorable weather, the energy generated on the grid side is insufficient to match the demand on the load side. The primary load-side issues may be non-linear loads that lower the energy network’s power quality or excessive or unmanaged energy demand. When compared to the production of renewable energy, energy sources that are connected to the grid through an electronic converter or inverter have quite different operating characteristics. The stability of the grid and solutions to the grid-to- transmission-line stability issue are the main topics of this study. The benefits of using inverters in a power system from the grid to the transmission line with MPPT and PI controllers are examined in this article. A robust control system with an inverter-equipped PI controller and MPPT addresses the main problem.

Published: July 2024

Forecasting the amplitude and timing of the sunspot cycle is highly important for solar physics and space weather applications, but high-precision prediction of solar magnetic activity has remained an outstanding challenge. The Informer model, as the most advanced deep learning technique, is an ideal approach for predicting solar activity cycle. Using the whole-disk sunspot numbers (SSNs) between 1749 and 2023 and the hemispheric SSNs between 1992 and 2023, the amplitudes and timings of Solar Cycles 25 and 26 are predicted by the Informer model. The main results are the following: (1) the activity levels of Solar Cycles 25 and 26 continue being weak-moderate cycles with their strengths stronger than Solar Cycle 24, implying that the long-term solar variability is significantly modulated in length and magnitude by the Gleissberg century cycle; (2) the Gnevyshev peaks of Solar Cycles 25 and 26 are clearly observed with a higher value in the second peak, suggesting that the numbers of the large sunspot groups are greater compared to the small sunspot groups in these two cycles; and (3) during Solar Cycle 25, the activity level in the southern hemisphere is predicted to be stronger than that in the northern one, revealing significant asymmetry and asynchronization between the two hemispheres. Our analysis results show that solar cycle predictions can be made more accurate if performed separately for each hemisphere. Furthermore, Solar Cycles 25 and 26 are likely to be weak-moderate cycles, in agreement with the precursor-based and model-based prediction methods.
J115307.93+353528.2—Spectroscopic Twin Binary, Composed of Solar Like Stars. Orbital Solution from Poorly Resolved Double-line Structure
Authors: Kovalev Mikhail Yu. , Chen Xuefei , Han Zhanwen
Published: July 2024

We present a study of double-lined spectroscopic binary (SB2) J115307.93+353528.2 based on data from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) medium resolution survey (MRS). We use full-spectrum fitting to derive radial velocities and spectral parameters, which suggest that this is a “twin” system of two nearly identical stars, which are similar to the Sun. The orbital solution tells us that it is relatively wide pair of stars on slightly eccentric orbit with period P ≃ 206 days. This result shows that LAMOST-MRS data can be used to detect such twin binaries even when double-line structure is poorly resolved in the spectra. Changes of

Predicting CO2 Gas Layer Thickness due to Mantle Outgassing in the Exoplanet Census
Authors: Stafne Eva , Becker Juliette
Published: July 2024

The exchange of molecules between a planet’s interior and exterior is a major component of planetary development and atmospheric formation. Recently, detailed observational studies of exoplanet atmospheres have become possible, enabling robust testing of planetary outgassing models. In this Note, we apply the Dorn et al. stagnant lid model for outgassing to the observed exoplanet census to produce predictions for the atmospheric scale heights that may be observed. We also model atmospheric mass loss due to photoevaporation to determine if the predicted atmospheres would likely be retained and therefore observable.

The genus of Polypedates Tschudi, 1838 currently comprises 25 recognised species with four of these species reported in Yunnan, China. Dubois (1987) speculated the distribution of P. teraiensis in China; however, there was no study carried out to confirm its distribution in the region.

We herein describe P. teraiensis as a new national record, based on a specimen collected from Yunnan border region. Phylogenetically, our sequence clustered with the sequences of recognised P. teraiensis specimens from Bangladesh, Myanmar and India. The uncorrected pairwise distances between the specimens from China and other P. teraiensis localities was small, ranging from 0.0-0.7%, based on 16S rRNA gene. Therefore, we report P. teraiensis as a new species record for China.

Published: July 2024

Micarea (Ascomycota, Pilocarpaceae) is a large cosmopolitan genus of crustose lichens. We investigated molecular systematics and taxonomy of the poorly known Micarea melaeniza group focussing on M. melaeniza, M. nigella and M. osloensis. A total of 54 new sequences were generated and using Bayesian and maximum likelihood analysis of two markers (nuITS and mtSSU), we discovered two previously unrecognized phylogenetic lineages, one of which is described here as Micarea eurasiatica Kantelinen & G. Thor, sp. nov., morphologically characterized by pycnidia that are sessile to emergent, cylindrically shaped, with greenish-black K+ olive green, wall pigmentation and containing large mesoconidia up to 6 µm in length. The species is known from Japan and Finland. In addition, we show that the reproduction biology of M. osloensis has been poorly understood and that the species often occurs as an anamorph with stipitate pycnidia. We present a species synopsis and notes on pigments. Our research supports previous results of asexuality being an important reproductive strategy of species growing on dead wood.

Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria for cases were children aged 5–18 who met the diagnostic criteria of NS. Cases were age-matched with healthy children as controls. The PedsQL 4.0 generic core scale instrument was used for the QoL assessment. Normally distributed continuous data were expressed as the mean and standard deviation; categorical data were expressed as proportions. Differences between the groups were analyzed using an independent t-test, and the correlation of illness duration and daily steroid dose with QoL was determined using the Pearson correlation test.

Results: A total of 44 NS pediatric patients were age-matched with 44 healthy children. A significant difference in QoL existed between the school scores of the NS and healthy groups in the parent proxy report (p = 0.001) and between the school score and total score of the child proxy report (p = 0.003 and p = 0.040, respectively). A significant difference in QoL existed in emotional scores between the remission and relapse groups in the parent-and-child proxy reports (p = 0.019 and 0.030, respectively). A significant negative correlation existed between the daily steroid dose and QoL in school and the total score of the parent proxy report (p = 0.025; r = –0.338).

Conclusion: The parent and child reports revealed a significant difference in QoL between the school scores of NS pediatric patients and healthy children. A significant difference in the emotional scores of NS pediatric patients in remission and relapse was also observed. The daily steroid dose was negatively correlated with the school score in the parent proxy report.

The megagenus Erica L. (Ericaceae), as it is recognised today, includes 851 species of evergreen shrubs or small trees, the majority of which are endemic to the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. From the first descriptions in Linnaeus’s Genera plantarum, a succession of authors ascribed the steadily accumulating numbers of known species to various of a total of 72 different genera. Until the latter half of the twentieth century, so called ‘minor genera’ such as Philippia Klotzsch and Blaeria L. were still recognised for many African species. The now uncontroversial inclusive circumscription of Erica, and a substantial proportion of its currently recognised species diversity, was conceptualised, described, and illustrated by the South African botanists E. G. H. (‘Ted’) Oliver and Inge M. Oliver in a succession of works published from 1964 to the present day. We review the historical development of generic delimitation in Ericasens. lat., focusing on the contribution of the Olivers to the current state of systematic knowledge of the genus, and presenting an overview and complete lists of literature and of taxa that they authored.
Beyond the Swedish Folkhem – the position of immigrant and refugee groups in Sweden
Authors: Khayati Khalid
Published: July 2024

Contrairement à la réputation positive que la Suède a dans les croyances populaires, les populations immigrées et réfugiées en Suède souffrent principalement de l’exclusion sociale et d’autres pratiques discriminatoires. Cet article estime que la discrimination des personnes immigrantes – surtout ceux des pays et des régions ethniquement et culturellement éloignées – est inhérente au projet historique du folkhem et par conséquence aux institutions démocratiques suédoises qui affichent une puissante connotation ethnique. Cet article vise à savoir si ces tendances discriminatoires et pratiques de ségrégation visà-vis des individus et des groupes non-suédois, qui ont été le centre de l’attention chez les chercheurs suédois, indiquent des liens plus étroits avec le projet historique du folkhem suédoise et ses démarcations culturelles et raciales.
Hen – un nouveau pronom personnel suédois. Planification linguistique et controverses
Authors: Ridell Karin
Published: July 2024

Au printemps 2012, les médias suédois se sont passionnés pour un débat portant sur une question de linguistique. L’enjeu était l’introduction dans la langue courante d’un nouveau pronom personnel, hen, qui viendrait s’ajouter à hon (elle) et han (il), afin de rendre possible la désignation d’une personne sans préciser son sexe. Ce nouveau pronom comblerait une lacune dans le système pronominal suédois et répondrait au besoin de pouvoir s’exprimer de manière claire, correcte et égalitaire, en particulier en matière administrative et juridique. Mais le désaccord portait surtout sur son usage dans le milieu scolaire et préscolaire. Une analyse du discours de ce débat nous permettra d’éclairer les attitudes des différents segments de la société suédoise au regard de la mise en place de l’égalité des sexes. L’article se terminera sur quelques réflexions sur les facteurs ayant conduit à l’avènement du pronom hen, ainsi que sur son devenir.

HDAC proteins play a role in epigenetic changes in cancer-causing gene expression. Previous research reported that hyptolide and its derivatives inhibited several cancer cell growths in vitro. However, the potential of this anticancer compounds in preventing HDAC protein activity has not yet been evaluated. This study aims to determine the site-related inhibitory activity and binding affinity produced by hyptolide against HDAC class IIa protein compared to its derivative complexes. Hyptolide and its derivatives have previously been optimized using ORCA software with B3LYP/6-31G** functional DFT theory. The optimization results on the hyptolide molecule show that the partial charge values of O4, O5, O6, and O7 atoms in the OAc group are -0.437; -0.444; -0.436, and -0.431 with a dipole moment 5.47363 Debye, while the partial charges of hyptolide derivatives on the same atom for epoxy-hyptolide are -0.465; -0.454; -0.448, and -0.415 with dipole moment value 8.57293 Debye and dimethylphenylamine-hyptolide molecules are -0.456; -0.442; -0.559 and -0.418 and dipole moment value 8.86020 Debye. The pharmacokinetics and class toxicity test of ligand compound show that the dimethylphenylamine-hyptolide has highest class toxicity, and it is more toxic than hyptolide and epoxy-hyptolide. The molecular docking process was conducted using AutoDock Vina software. The active site of amino acid residue that interacts with each ligand is Asp B 801 and Val B 708. In line with the partial charge value of the optimized hyptolide compound and its derivatives, binding affinity value complex with dimethylphenylamine-hyptolide ligand compound had the lowest binding affinitiy value in first conformation of -11.00. These results confirm that prediction of hyptolide derivative compounds with nitrogen group as alkylating agents will decrease the binding affinity between ligands and proteins. These results motivate researchers to conduct further studies on the activity of hyptolide derivative compounds in dimethylphenylamine-hyptolide against cancer cell growth in vitro and how to decrease its toxicity.

Shrimp waste contains a high content of chitin which is potential to be used as a chitosan’s precursor. Synthesis of chitosan is usually done by deproteination, demineralization, and deacetylation process. Deacetylation of chitin from shrimp waste isolated by autolysis, has been a few reported before. The chemicals involved in autolysis are less harmful and easier to treat before their disposal. Hence, this paper investigates the effect of base type and concentration on the degree of deacetylation of chitosan from chitin isolated by autolysis. Autolysis was carried out by an incubation at pH 2 using sulfuric acid for 10 d. Demineralization was performed by immersion in hydrochloric acid pH 1 for 24 h. The deacetylation of chitin was carried out at 120 °C for 120 min using two different bases, which are NaOH and KOH, respectively. The determination of chitosan’s degree of deacetylation (DD) was carried out using a semi-quantitative method from IR spectra. The use of KOH resulted in the obtained DD of less than 20%, while the NaOH usage produced around 50% of DD. Then, the NaOH was chosen and studied further to obtain a suitable DD for film applications, which is 40 – 99%. The deacetylation of chitosan was carried out by varying NaOH concentration from 60 to 70% (w/v). High concentration of NaOH tends to increase chitosan’s DD and slightly decrease the yield. The optimum concentration of NaOH was obtained at 70% (w/v) producing DD of 53.50±0.83% and yield of 47.66±0.28%. Chitosan synthesized using 70% concentration of NaOH produced a relatively homogeneous thin film. Polyaniline was then introduced to the film to obtain a prototype of smart packaging. This smart packaging was able to detect the pH changes proven by the change of its color.
