Greening Zombie Theory
Authors: Oloff Kerstin
Published: January 2024

This chapter seeks to render visible a theoretical framework for the history of the zombie in the Long American Century. Drawing on recent work conducted within the fields of world-ecology, world-literature and social reproduction theory, I read the zombie as a frontier figure that is animated by the interlinked logics of exploitation and appropriation. I contend that the zombie is a figure that narrates relations-in-motion and therefore cannot be defined as a stable transhistorical figure.
The Zombie-in-the-House, Nature and the Colonies
Authors: Oloff Kerstin
Published: January 2024

This chapter will examine the female zombie across a range of different texts, from the US and the Caribbean. As social reproduction theorist Tithi Bhattacharya reminds us, if “the spatial separation between production (public) and reproduction (private) is a historical form of appearance, then the labor that is dispensed in both spheres must also be theorized integratively” (2017: 9). Thus, the (presumably male) zombie worker on the sugar plantation needs to be contrasted with the female zombie-in-the-house. As Wilma Dunaway notes, world-systemic readings will transform our readings of the white female zombie-in-the-house, since our position of the housewife is subsidised and enabled “by the peripheral women whose low-paid and unpaid labor keeps prices low” (2001: 17).
Zombies-of-Waste and Neoliberal Exhaustion
Authors: Oloff Kerstin
Published: January 2024

Chapter 5, finally, turns its focus to the period that has provided the most fertile ground for zombie imaginaries: neoliberal or “late” capitalism, which has seen numerous zombie spikes of unprecedented proportions. The variety of zombie figures is such that many critics have often classed it as untheorisable (Shapiro 2014). Yet, as I argue in this chapter, they register the contradictions within late capitalism, as viewed from different locations within a fundamentally uneven world-system.
Spatial planning reimagined: rekindling the founding spirit for the future
Authors: Yang Wei
Published: January 2024

This paper reviews the lifetime achievements and unrealised visions of Sir Leslie Patrick Abercrombie to stimulate discussions on the unprecedented challenges and opportunities facing the field of spatial planning. By revealing the founding spirit of the profession – compassion, selflessness and creativity – the author argues that the need for change is both external and internal. Thus, planners need to make behavioural changes within the profession to meet the demands of the future. The paper outlines various actions and strategies for the systemic transformation of spatial planning, including rebuilding the creativity and civic support pillars, equipping planners with adequate capabilities and skills and implementing methodological changes. Additionally, the paper introduces the vision of the newly formed Digital Task Force for Planning, which aims to harness the power of digital technology and scientific innovation to modernise the profession. Ultimately, the paper encourages planners to be proactive in adapting to a rapidly changing world and to pave the way for a more confident, creative and impactful profession for the future.

Evaluation of the effects of oxygen enrichment on combustion stability of biodiesel through a PSO-EMD-RBF model: An experimental study
Authors: Gao Shengyang , Li Fashe , Wang Hua
Published: January 2024

In this study, we processed the flame images of biodiesel combustion in industrial furnaces, classified and evaluated flame states using digital image processing techniques, and proposed a combustion stability index (CSI) using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. In order to more accurately predict the combustion stability under different oxygen concentrations, we proposed a method that combines the Multi-Input Radial basis function neural network (RBF-NN) with empirical mode decomposition (EMD). Initially, the EMD method was employed to decompose the original time series of CSI. Subsequently, a decomposition model incorporating initial parameters and CSI was established using the radial basis function. The results of the computations indicate that the EMD-RBF-NN model significantly outperforms existing models in enhancing the accuracy of CSI.
Spécificités techno-sémio-linguistiques des commentaires en ligne
Authors: Kherbache Chafik , Hassani Rima Aida
Published: January 2024

Notre étude s’inscrit dans le champ de l’analyse du discours, elle a comme objectif d’appréhender le fonctionnement du processus de production des commentaires en ligne à partir d’une approche techno-sémio-linguistique, hybride entre le prénumérique et le numérique. Ces commentaires sont produits par des utilisateurs qui n’avaient pas le droit de réagir auparavant au discours médiatique télévisuel, mais qui jouaient seulement le rôle de spectateurs passifs. Nous œuvrons alors à mettre l’accent sur les caractéristiques de ces technodiscours seconds en louvoyant entre des éléments de conception et des éléments d’utilisation du web. Le processus de communication exploite des agents humains et des agents non humains qui contribuent à la production discursive en milieu numérique. Les résultats montrent que les commentaires des utilisateurs du web varient en fonction du contenu des publications qui diffusent du contenu politico-médiatique, en impliquant des enjeux politiques et idéologiques émanant des prescriptions du web.

Published: January 2024

Cet article s’intéresse à l’attractivité des métiers de l’enseignement en France, un pays qui, comme de nombreux autres, fait face à des difficultés de recrutement d’enseignants. Ces difficultés ne sont pas inédites, mais la période actuelle présente des singularités historiques et terminologiques qui sont abordées dans la première partie de l’article. Les mesures mises en œuvre pour accroître le nombre des candidats à l’enseignement font l’objet de la seconde partie. Ces mesures touchent aux salaires mais aussi aux recrutements, comme dans le cas du dispositif « Assistants d’éducation en préprofessionnalisation » pour lequel sont présentés quelques résultats de recherche originaux.
Le défi de l’attractivité et le problème de l’attrition des enseignants dans quatre pays francophones
Authors: LeVasseur Louis , Wentzel Bernard , Dupriez Vincent , Périer Pierre
Published: January 2024

De nombreuses recherches montrent que le défi de l’attractivité de l’enseignement serait lié aux causes du décrochage professionnel, parmi lesquelles figurent la pénibilité des conditions de travail, le manque de reconnaissance sociale et un salaire qui ne correspond pas à l’investissement en temps et en efforts que réclame une formation initiale de plus en plus exigeante. Des facteurs culturels peuvent-ils également expliquer la tendance à l’attrition ? Un travail de plus en plus évalué et transformé au nom de l’efficacité correspond-il toujours aux valeurs et aux finalités dont se réclament les enseignants ? Un travail qui échappe au contrôle de ceux qui le réalisent entraîne-t-il une déprofessionnalisation ? L’article analyse l’attrition des enseignants dans quatre pays francophones : la France, la Suisse, la Belgique et le Québec.

Published: January 2024

Face à d’importants besoins d’enseignants du primaire, la plupart des pays d’Afrique subsaharienne francophone ont adopté, dans les années 1990 et 2000, une politique de contractualisation de ce personnel. Quels effets cette politique et les ajustements qui ont suivi, souvent sous la pression des enseignants, ont-ils sur l’attractivité de l’enseignement primaire ? Qu’en est-il de la rétention des enseignants en exercice ? Quelle est l’ampleur de l’attrition et quelles stratégies sont déployées pour la contrer ? L’article tente de répondre à ces questions dans quatre contextes nationaux : ceux du Burkina Faso, du Cameroun, de la Côte d’Ivoire et du Sénégal.

Authors: Tournier Barbara , Chimier Chloé , Weir Helen
Published: January 2024

Cet article s’intéresse au programme « Teacher Career Pathways », introduit en 2013 par la ville de New York, avec la coopération de la Fédération unie des enseignants. Conçu comme une alternative aux systèmes de rémunération au mérite promus par le gouvernement fédéral, le programme permet aux enseignants de postuler à des postes de direction tout en continuant à exercer leurs fonctions traditionnelles, en assumant des responsabilités supplémentaires en échange d’un salaire plus élevé. Cette réforme met l’accent sur le leadership pédagogique et sur la promotion d’une culture de collaboration dans les écoles. L’article s’appuie sur des enquêtes menées sur ce programme pour montrer comment des changements bien conçus, apportés aux structures de carrière des enseignants, peuvent contribuer à faire de l’enseignement un choix de carrière plus attrayant et encourager les enseignants les plus performants à rester dans la salle de classe.
An Overview

Published: January 2024

Digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) are closely linked as AI is often seen as one of the main drivers of digital transformation. Digital transformation involves implementing digital technologies to transform business processes, revenue models and customer relationships. AI, on the other hand, uses algorithms to learn, reason and make decisions based on data. By integrating AI into digital transformation processes, companies can improve their operational efficiency, their capacity for innovation and their competitiveness. For example, AI can be used to automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that can bring many benefits in many fields, but it also presents potential risks, so business managers must know how to use this technology well.
The Role of Digital Marketing on Customer Engagement in the Hospitality Industry
Authors: Kumar Sanjeev
Published: January 2024

Digital technology plays a vital role in the hospitality sector, which creates a strong relationship with customers and a practical experience. Adopting online digital marketing strategies and different platforms include social media marketing, content writing, SEO, PPC, email and online marketing. Earlier, hotel and restaurant owners only believed in word-of-mouth and print advertising to attract customers. But nowadays, digital media has become the first choice to attract guests; it is more engaging content, and builds a solid connection with online platforms. Through online digital marketing, the hotel industry can target different demographics and connect with guests worldwide. Digital marketing gives customers memorable experiences while staying in hotels, dining at a restaurant, and attending mega-events. Customers always see the reviews, comments, and ratings of the hotels/restaurants on the social platform, and customers decide to visit the hotel/restaurant where digital networks play an essential role in promotional activities in the hospitality sector.
Online Teaching During COVID-19
Authors: Ting Adrian , Manaig Karen A. , Yazon Alberto D.
Published: January 2024

This study reports on a collaborative research project initiated in 2022 by the authors based in Hong Kong and the Philippines. The overarching goal is to review and assess the impact that the prolonged use of technology for teaching has had on K–12 teachers. Through a narrative inquiry, the study seeks to encapsulate teachers' online teaching experiences: its efficacy, challenges, impacts on teaching, and other relevant issues. These narratives are compared against the backdrop of access to technology in Hong Kong and in the Philippines, as there are immense differences in IT infrastructure. It was found that technological advancement and preparedness did not guarantee smooth delivery of online teaching. In contrast, teachers' own personal circumstances, workload, stress, and mental wellbeing tend to have a much greater impact on themselves and their work.

Authors: Shi Jing , Wan Na , Ibrahim Roslina
Published: January 2024

The application of computer technology has revolutionized and promoted the traditional mode of piano teaching. Nowadays, many companies and institutions have begun to apply computer technology to online piano teaching. This paper analyzes the difficulties faced by students in piano teaching and the development of piano assistant practice and summarizes the demands of parents, teachers, students, and principals for online piano teaching system. Based on this, this paper designs and implements an online piano teaching system without special hardware. This system improves the existing maximum logarithm MPa algorithm and improves the detection performance while keeping the complexity low. Combined with the special structure of parallel projection, a generalized automaton model of hybrid system is proposed, and five elements are used to describe the continuous and discrete behaviors in the hybrid subsystem. It not only keeps the advantage of low complexity of the original Max log MPa algorithm, but also obtains better detection performance.

Authors: Locatelli Manoel Antonio , Sgarbossa Maira , Rebelato Mozzato Anelise
Published: January 2024

O clima organizacional e a motivação dos trabalhadores há tempos se mantêm como pauta para os gestores das empresas. Desse modo, o presente artigo tem como objetivo avaliar a percepção dos trabalhadores da Cotrisal em relação a influência do clima organizacional na motivação no trabalho. Trata-se de um estudo de caso de cunho descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa. Para a coleta de dados utilizaram-se dois questionários, respondidos de forma anônima, que foram aplicados junto aos trabalhadores da unidade de peças, ferragens e implementos da empresa. Os dados obtidos foram dispostos em tabelas e quadros, e analisados de acordo com as visões dos autores presentes no referencial teórico. Os resultados trazem, segundo percepção dos trabalhadores, que o clima organizacional influencia na motivação e essa influência se dá devido a percepção e absorção das ideias, referentes às condições de trabalho, liderança, remuneração, satisfação pessoal, relacionamento com os colegas e organização do trabalho, por parte do trabalhador, perante à equipe de trabalho. Desse modo, conclui-se que embora a motivação tenha origem em fatores internos do indivíduo, os fatores externos, a exemplo daqueles que afetam o clima organizacional, também respingam na motivação do trabalhador para com a execução das atividades laborais.

Published: January 2024

Problemas de agencia, que envolvem os gestores e acionistas, são constantemente colocados como uma das causas para o mau desempenho das firmas. Neste contexto o presente artigo busca verificar se há maiores indícios de assimetrias informacionais em Holdings, devido à disposição desequilibrada de informações entre os agentes a respeito das suas subsidiárias. Através de uma regressão Logística robusta, foi possível mostrar relações diretas entre as proxies de entrincheiramento e de tunneling ao fato da empresa se organizar como Holding. Os resultados sugerem que estes indícios de assimetria informacional podem estar relacionados à pior valorização do mercado que essas empresas tem, com relação as que não pertencem a grupos Holding.
“Y después apareció Evo…”. Política transnacional y reconocimiento indígena en el Gran Buenos Aires
Authors: Rodrigo Federico
Published: January 2024

En este trabajo se analiza la sanción como “plurinacionales e interculturales” de algunos municipios del Gran Buenos Aires, en la Argentina, y la creación de proyectos y actividades que proponen esas calificaciones para la provincia que los contiene. La hipótesis que se desarrolla es que la circulación de estas categorías, especialmente “plurinacional” que es la más destacada por los actores clave en esos procesos, está asociada a la progresiva presencia en la zona de entidades y referentes/as bolivianos/as. A través de un abordaje etnográfico de la política transnacional de ese país y de entrevistas con los protagonistas de la recuperación del concepto, se propone que el activismo y la diplomacia diaspórica boliviana, que posee una fuerte interconexión con colectivos políticos e instituciones del contexto de recepción, favorecieron la incorporación de ciertos lenguajes, símbolos y conmemoraciones que hicieron parte de la ampliación del reconocimiento de la diversidad en la región. De esta manera, se identifican sujetos y modos de incidencia en las formaciones de alteridad que no se ajustan a las clasificaciones de elementos “locales”, “nacionales” o “globales”: se trata de actores transnacionales que no solo operan como parte de un contexto internacional, sino que funcionan como factores internos, al constituir zonas de contacto.

Authors: Gagrani Vaibhav , Kabara Jyoti , Shukla Arvind , Rathore N. K. , Rajpurohit Vikram S. , Jangid Pawan K. , Manna Sumanta
Published: January 2024

Introduction:

High dose rate (HDR) intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) is an integral element in the treatment of carcinoma uterine cervix. The main objective of brachytherapy in carcinoma cervix is to deliver a lethal dose to tumor cells without inducing unacceptable damage to the surrounding normal tissue. Because the absorbed dose falls off rapidly, higher doses can be safely delivered to the targeted tissue over a short time. The quest for optimum dose and fractionation schedule in HDR ICBT is still ongoing, and there is no uniform consensus. This study aimed to assess the acute dose-related toxicities of HDR brachytherapy schedule of 7 Gy x 3 fractions over 6 Gy x 4 fractions in the treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to study the acute treatment-related gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities between two HDR brachytherapy regimens.

Material and Methods:

This is a prospective institutional study carried out from May 2018 to September 2018. In this time period, 66 patients of cervical cancers fulfilling our inclusion criteria were treated with concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) following brachytherapy. During treatment, patients were randomized to arm A—7 Gy per fraction for three fractions and arm B—6 Gy per fraction for four fractions. Acute GI and GU toxicities were assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03. All patients were kept for follow-up for 3 months in this study.

Results:

There is no statistically significant difference between the two arms for acute GI and GU toxicities, and the results were comparable.

Conclusions:

Considering the increased hospital burden of locally advanced cervical cancer patients in the Indian context, the HDR brachytherapy schedule of 7 Gy per fraction is preferable to 6 Gy per fraction for a lesser fractionation schedule.

Published: January 2024

In low– to very low–malaria transmission areas, most infections may be accrued within specific groups whose behaviors or occupations put them at increased risk of infection. If these infections comprise a large proportion of the reservoir of infection, targeting interventions to these groups could reduce transmission at the population level. We conducted a systematic review to assess the impact of providing antimalarials to groups of individuals at increased risk of malaria whose infections were considered to comprise a large proportion of the local reservoir of infections (targeted drug administration [TDA]). A literature search was conducted in March 2021 and updated in April 2022. Two reviewers screened titles, abstracts, and full-text records. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach was used to rate the certainty of the evidence (CoE) for each outcome. Out of 2,563 records, we identified five studies for inclusion: two cluster-randomized controlled trials (cRCTs) in Uganda and Kenya; one controlled before-after study in Ghana; and two uncontrolled before-after studies in Sri Lanka and Greece. Compared with no intervention, TDA resulted in little to no difference in the prevalence of infection at the population level (risk ratio [RR]: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.73–1.00; one cRCT, high CoE), although TDA likely resulted in a large reduction in prevalence among those targeted by the intervention (RR: 0.15, 95% CI: 0.06–0.38; two cRCTs, moderate CoE). Although TDA may reduce the burden of malaria among those receiving antimalarials, we found no evidence that it reduces transmission at the population level.
Policy Review and Recommendation for Secondary Education NP-Led Clinics in the Southeastern United States
Authors:   , Jacob Shiney
Published: January 2024

Secondary-level education involves adolescent children aged 11-12 years to 18-19 with unique healthcare needs. Their healthcare is of significant importance as they are transitioning to adulthood, and a majority of them lack access to primary healthcare needs. Advanced Practice Registered Nurses/Nurse Practitioners (APRNs/NPs) provide high-quality, cost-effective, and evidence-based care to people across the lifespan, and there is minimal utilization of their services in meeting the primary care needs of adolescents at the secondary school level. The purpose of the policy project was to determine if current policies and practices related to school health services in three southeastern states of the United States are achieving the primary healthcare goals of adolescents and to make recommendations for policy revisions. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Policy Process (POLARIS) framework and the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals Model (JHNEBP) were used to appraise literature and to guide policy evaluation. The review included the best practice recommendations from CDC, HHS, and School-Based Health Alliance (SBHA). The themes include SBHCs as a proven and accepted strategy, sponsorship for SBHCs, staffing structure for School-based health centers (SBHCs), Nurse practitioners as providers, the reproductive and sexual health of adolescents, the mental health of adolescents, and healthcare delivery models. School health services are provided through either traditional school health services with school nurses or SBHCs or in combination in all these three states and are at different stages. Based on the findings, policy briefs are developed for each of the three states to include Nurse Practitioners as primary healthcare providers.
A CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF VEDANA STHAPANA
MAHAKASHAYA GHANA VATI AND YASHTIMADHU GHRITA VARTI IN POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT OF ARSHA
Authors: Basak Nabanita , Dutt Sharma Vishnu
Published: January 2024

Arsha or Haemorrhoid is nowadays, the most common anorectal disease worldwide. A haemorrhoid condition and
Arsha's characteristics can be related. The disease Arsha can be traced back to the Vedic period. It is a disease that
tortures people as an enemy. The extensive list of etiological elements, including mechanical lifestyle, nutrition,
diet, habits, and indulgences, as well as the comprehensive explanation of its pathophysiology, is evidence of our
Acharyas' great vision, profound insight, and scientific understanding. For the treatment of arsha roga, Acharya
Sushruta said chaturvidha sandhanopaya, Shastra Karma, or surgery is one of these four techniques. Any surgical
or non-surgical procedure that is performed causes excruciating pain that can be classified as post-operative pain
and necessitates immediate medication to provide pain relief. In Ayurveda, the ability of the practitioner to relieve
a patient's pain or suffering following surgery is still a disadvantage. An effort was undertaken to treat post-operative
discomfort following shastra karma effectively. Patients experience excruciating pain after Ksharsutra ligation. To
treat the post-operative pain in Arsha, the patients in the current study who had undergone Ksharsutra ligation were
given the prescriptions Vedana sthapana mahakashaya ghana vati orally and Yashtimadhu Ghrita Varti locally.
This study tried to assess the analgesic effect of Vedana sthapana maha kashaya ghana vati and Yashtimadhu
Ghrita Varti to get relief from the post-operative pain in arsha
COMPARATIVE CLINICAL EVALUATION OF KARPASASTHYADI TAILAM NASYA
AND PUNNAGADI RUKSHA PINDA SWEDA IN MANYASTAMBHA (CERVICAL
SPONDYLOSIS)
Authors: Sapna Singh , Arvind Gupta , G. Shrimant Chavan
Published: January 2024

Manyastambha is Vata Nanatmaja Vyadhi. Neck pain and stiffness are two characteristic features of Manyastambha. Acharya Shushruta has described that the Vata Dosha, along with Kapha Dosha, gets vitiated and
takes Ashraya at Manya Pradesh, affecting the Manya Siras, causing Ruja and Stambha of the neck. Cervical
spondylosis can correlate to Manyastambha as both have similar signs and symptoms. Nasya Karma is considered
the prime line of treatment in Urdhwajatru Gata Vikara and helps pacify both Vata and Kapha Dosha. According
to Ayurveda, Snehana and Swedana are the best therapy modalities for managing Vata Vyadhi. Punnagadi Ruksha
Pinda Sweda is a type of Sankara Sweda that helps pacify both Vata and Kapha and acts as Shrotoshodhak. Our
study aims to evaluate the combined effect of KarpasasthyadiTailam Nasya and Punnagadi Ruksha Pinda Sweda
in the treatment of Manyastambha. In the present study, KarpasasthyadiTailam Nasya and Punnagadi Ruksha
Pinda Sweda were both efficient in treating the condition, but Group B was more significant.

CRITICAL EVALUATION AND APPLIED ASPECT OF SWABHAVOPARAMVADA
WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE THEORY OF INNATE DESTRUCTION.
Authors: Kajal Shah , Rajesh Kolarkar
Published: January 2024

Ayurveda is one of the world’s oldest medical systems and remains one of India’s traditional healthcare systems,
as it is based on ancient writings that rely on a natural and holistic approach to physical and mental health. As per
Ayurvedic philosophy, we know that the leading cause of any disease is Imbalance in the body, and so the treatment pattern also includes lifestyle management with natural therapies to attain and regain the balance between
the body, mind, soul, and Prakriti, i.e., environment. The theory of natural destruction or self-healing process is
termed ‘Swabhavoparamvada,’ where the term ‘Swabhav’ means the nature of a substance and ‘Uparama’ implies destruction.¹ This theory states that the physiological events in our body are unavoidable. Kala, i.e., time
moves continuously, passes away, and is irreversible. The wear-and-tear theory states that bodies wear out over
time. This theory can easily make sense when considering inanimate objects, from cars to clothes, that wear out
and become less functional with time. Jara (Old) and Mrityu (Death) are Swabhavik vyadhi (natural), and these
cannot be stopped. Tear and wear are the law of nature. This means the dhatu of the body is destroyed naturally,
and this cannot be controlled by any process indicating Swabhavoparamvada. Understanding the concept of
Swabhavoparamvada is very important for a physician to advise a good diet and lifestyle in continuity along with
necessary interventions.

Published: January 2024

PROBLEMA: La investigación aborda el impacto de los parásitos externos en la salud y producción de peces, centrándose en la tricodianosis y su efecto negativo en la locomoción y supervivencia de los peces. En el contexto de producciones piscícolas en Rio Hondo, la falta de conocimiento de la población local se identifica como la raíz del problema. OBJETIVO: Caracterizar los parásitos externos denominados tricodinas en producciones piscícolas de tilapia gris. MÉTODO: La investigación no solo se enfoca en caracterizar y evaluar los parásitos externos, sino también en proporcionar alternativas prácticas para su control y prevención. Esto implica promover buenas prácticas de manejo acuícola y una sólida gestión de la sanidad animal. RESULTADOS: Estos parásitos no solo generan estrés en los peces, sino que también abren la puerta a patógenos secundarios como hongos y bacterias, exacerbando los problemas de producción. La pérdida económica derivada de las muertes constantes de peces afecta significativamente la producción piscícola, lo que hace imperativo mantener una alta sanidad en los estanques. CONCLUSIÓN: El valor de este estudio radica en su capacidad para capacitar y empoderar a las personas involucradas en la piscicultura. Al proporcionar información detallada y soluciones prácticas, la investigación aspira a erradicar los parásitos externos, específicamente en la tilapia gris. Al mejorar la comprensión y las habilidades en el manejo y control de enfermedades parasitarias, se espera lograr una reducción significativa de las pérdidas económicas y un aumento en la eficiencia de la producción.

Políticas educativas en Chile y sus nudos críticos: una mirada desde la teoría del poder
Authors: Norambuena Silva Bárbara , Chávez Reyes Ignacia , Pérez Quezada Cynthia
Published: January 2024

Este artículo examina diacrónicamente una serie de hitos históricos en Chile vinculados a las Políticas Públicas Educativas, su creación e implementación, y su relación con la teoría del poder y dominación de Max Weber, comenzando en la década de 1980 hasta el año 2015. El método es de análisis documental, que aborda el tema de estudio y caracteriza diversos aspectos de estos hitos educativos relacionados con las dimensiones históricas, sociales y políticas. El resultado conduce a lo siguiente: las legislaciones relativas al ámbito educativo no han respondido a las demandas ciudadanas de las últimas décadas. En este proceso, surge además, la reflexión sobre las consecuencias de un paradigma de mercado como base de un sistema educacional que a pesar de estar sometido a constantes transformaciones de leyes, reformas y proyectos, aún tiene sus cimientos en el modelo neoliberal. Finalmente, como conclusión, se sugiere un desarrollo legislativo e implementaciones acordes a la realidad nacional, enfatizando en la importancia de superar la desigualdad y segregación escolar.

Published: January 2024

The management of high-grade gliomas is challenging considering their infiltrative nature, involvement of the eloquent cortex, and high recurrence rate. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging modality that selectively destroys tumour cells while preserving normal brain tissue. Its safety, and the concurrent use with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, is some of its appealing tenets. Here, we present a review of the literature regarding the mechanism, safety, and efficacy of PDT.

Field tests were conducted on the effectiveness of acoustic alarms (pingers) in reducing the incidental catch of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in a salmon gillnet fishery in northern Washington in July and August of 1995-1997. The alarms produced a broadband signal with peaks at 3 and 20kHz, with mean source levels between 121.7-124.7dB re 1mPa @ 1m. For 1995 and 1996 combined, 47 harbour porpoise were taken in control nets and only two were taken in alarmed nets. The alarms significantly reduced the bycatch of harbour porpoise for both seasons (1995: c2 = 5.28, df = 1, p = 0.02; 1996: c2 = 11.2, df = 1, p = 0.001). In 1997, all nets were alarmed and 12 porpoise were taken; however, the expected catch without alarms would have been 79. There were no significant differences in catch rates of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) (c2 = 0.31. df = 1, p = 0.58), or sturgeon (Acipenser sp.) (c2 = 1.44, df = 1, p = 0.23) in control or alarmed nets. There were also no significant differences in the bycatch of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) (c2 = 0.09, df = 1, p = 0.76) or depredation of salmon by seals in nets with and without alarms (c2 = 0.07, df = 1, p = 0.79). The results of these studies indicate that acoustic alarms significantly reduce the probability of harbour porpoise entanglement in bottom-set gillnets in the fishery without reducing the catch of target fish species.

The distribution and relative abundance of groups of striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in the Ligurian Sea cetacean sanctuary, based on acoustic surveys carried out in the summers of 1994-1996, is presented. Abundance indices based on acoustic detections were adjusted for covariates likely to influence the detectability of dolphin vocalisations, such as wind speed, background noise and sea state. Dolphin vocalisation rates were shown to vary diurnally, being higher at night, and this effect was also modelled and removed. Results showed that dolphin groups were fairly evenly distributed throughout the sanctuary, but they were more abundant in offshore waters, peaking at water depths between 2,000-2,500m. Preliminary sightings results also indicated larger-sized groups in offshore regions. Relative abundance does not appear to vary significantly over the summer months. Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) were detected at 4% of monitoring stations, representing at least 61 different group encounters. Although not common, they appeared to be widely distributed in deep water throughout the study area.

Latar Belakang : Angka kejadian anemia di Indonesia masih tergolong cukup tinggi terutama pada remaja putri. Anemia merupakan kondisi ketika kadar hemoglobin dalam darah mengalami kekurangan, sehingga tidak mencukupi kebutuhan tubuh. Tujuan : untuk mengetahui efektivitas pemberian jus jambu biji merah dan jus strawberry terhadap perubahan kadar hemoglobin pada mahasiswi anemia. Metode : desain penelitian ini  menggunakan Two Group Pre Test dan Post Test dengan 30 responden mahasiswi dengan anemia. Pemeriksaan kadar hemoglobin pre-test dan post-test menggunakan Easy Touch GCHB. Uji statistik yang digunakan adalah Wilcoxon Signed Rank dan Mann Whitney U Test. Hasil : Hasil uji wilcoxon kelompok intervensi jus jambu biji merah nilai ρ= 0.001 (ρ<0,05) dan kelompok jus strawberry nilai ρ= 0.000 (ρ<0,05), hal ini menunjukkan kedua perlakuan memiliki pengaruh terhadap anemia. Hasil uji beda Mann Whitney menunjukkan nilai ρ=0.035 (p<0,05), artinya terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil post test pada kelompok jus jambu biji merah dan jus strawberry. Diskusi : Pemberian intervensi jus strawberry lebih efektif dari jus jambu biji merah dalam membantu meningkatkan kadar hemoglobin pada mahasiswi dengan anemia.
