Serum levels of cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, glucose and platelet counts in cats depending on the behavioural assessment of acute stress
Authors: WRZEŚNIEWSK KAROLINA , MADANY JACEK , MILCZAK ANDRZEJ
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study was to combine the estimated intensity of acute stress experienced by cats in the veterinary clinic with the assessment of serum cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, glucose and platelet counts. The authors aimed to answer the question of whether the generally known acute stress markers correlate with the degree of stress experienced by cats in the veterinary clinic. Fifty clinically healthy cats were studied. Behavioural assessment of stress was performed according to the modified criteria indicated by Kessler and Turner under conditions of minimal stress recommended for veterinary medicine. Serum levels of cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, glucose and platelet count were determined by recognized and commonly used methods. The cats examined in the clinic were divided into 3 groups according tothe type of stress reaction. In 8 (16%) cats, the behaviour was “relaxed”, 25 (50%) cats showed “tense” stress reactions, and in 17 (34%) cats, strong reactions of fear were noted. Serum levels of cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, glucose and platelet count differed between the groups, but the differences were not statistically significant and did not correlate with the degree of acute stress in cats. It is concluded that a large number of cats (84%) experience stress in the clinic and that the working methods of veterinary teams should be further improved to minimize it. When cats exhibit less fear during veterinary examinations, their owners are more likely to schedule examinations, and veterinarians are more likely to obtain accurate measures during the examination, which improves the overall welfare of the cat. Another conclusion is that the biochemical parameters tested did not meet the conditions to be treated as measures of acute stress in cats. Therefore, further research is needed to find indicators associated with the degree of acute stress in cats.
Reactivation of public–private partnership (PPP) models for rural water supplies in Rwanda: strengthening operation and maintenance systems
Authors: Ogata Ryuji , Yoshikawa Takeshi , Mugwaneza Vincent de Paul , Sakamaki Yukie
Published: August 2024

The responsibility for operation and maintenance (O&M) in rural piped water supply systems in Rwanda has been transferred from the community to private operators (POs) during 2004. However, water supply services were suspended in many cases because of a lack of proper rehabilitation and regular maintenance due to technical and institutional capacity gaps of POs and other key stakeholders. As countermeasures, this project used the following six approaches: elaborating the O&M framework including the adoption of a licensing system for POs, establishing a drinking water quality monitoring framework, developing stakeholder capacity, developing inventory data and facility mapping, strengthening data management systems, and installing the necessary equipment for water supply management. As a result, the annual downtime of water supply services in the model districts was reduced by 41%. The result was inferred to be mainly related to the establishment of a licensing system for POs, improved reporting mechanism and royalty payment strategy, dedicated bank accounts for water, and the development of an asset inventory. To reactivate the public–private partnership models, it was important to identify specific issues from the national guidelines and contents of the contract between asset owners and POs to activities in the field and to work on improving them realistically.

What did giving birth during the pandemic mean? How did COVID-19 affect the process of bringing a new being into the world? What can we learn from scientific studies on the subject? These are some of the questions that guide the development of this book, which aims to give value to the experiences of pregnant individuals, mothers, fathers, and health professionals regarding maternal and child care during the global health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19. The text emphasizes the emotions and social support networks, including those mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the risks of developing COVID-19 during pregnancy, the immunological importance of breastfeeding, and the bio-psycho-social care measures that include a more humane approach, better environmental conditions in hospital settings, the development of telemedicine, and the importance of controlled immunization processes. Likewise, this book contributes to the debate on obstetric violence, new forms of fatherhood, and alternative ways of being a family or relatives. Overall, this work, from an interdisciplinary perspective and grounded in the experiences of the individuals involved in the process of bringing a new being into society, compiles a set of recommendations that, if taken into account, can help achieve the much-needed humanized health system.

Ventos fortes, relâmpagos e trovoadas tomam conta do céu. As ondas agitadas e os ventos em redemoinhos protagonizam a paisagem da Terra. Uma tempestade surge para a destruição dos ecossistemas, a prisão dos não humanos, as violências das guerras, as desigualdades socioespaciais, as discriminações raciais, as opressões das mulheres e a transformação da natureza em mercadoria. É sob a metáfora de uma tempestade moderna que Malcom Ferdinand na sua inovadora obra “Por uma ecologia decolonial: pensar a partir do mundo caribenho” anuncia a extinção em massa das espécies que está em curso, a poluição química, o aceleramento do aquecimento planetário e a justiça ambiental inerte são um alerta que a tempestade está se formando. O massacre dos ameríndios, o saque e a exploração das suas terras são ações comuns desde a colonização. A caça, a captura, o sequestro, o tráfico, a destituição, a redução, a violação, a compra e a travessia pelo Atlântico também são ações conhecidas. A escravidão das negras e dos negros africanos, retirados da sua terra mãe, junto das violências cometidas aos ameríndios, produziram uma forma destruidora de habitar a Terra. Esse habitar colonial é o grande responsável pela tempestade moderna que se forma nos céus. A transformação de humanos e não humanos em meros recursos a serem explorados é uma característica que se manteve nos países pós-colonais. A tempestade, então, representaria a aliança entre dois problemas urgentes: o racismo e a crise ecológica.

Authors: Polezhaev M. A.
Published: August 2024

In modern conditions of chaoticization of the system of international economic relations and foreign economic activity of business entities, the tasks of improving the management of foreign economic activity of enterprises by the state and the formation of its embedded mechanisms to ensure the protection of state security in the world market are actualized. The purpose of the article is to analyze the topical issues of foreign economic activity transformation in the context of global instability. According to the author, in the system of state regulation of foreign economic activity of an enterprise, the implementation of an integrated foreign economic activity management system will be timely, which will significantly offset the problems existing in subjects of foreign economic activity related to external factors. However, it is impossible to quickly adjust to dynamically changing conditions and ensure management consistency, increase the efficiency of foreign economic activity of domestic enterprises and protect state economic security. The main goal of the transformation, according to the author, is to provide the necessary transparency and flexibility in the management system of foreign economic activity both at the state level and at the level of a specific subject of foreign economic activity, which is very important in the context of growing instability of the macroeconomic environment. Priorities in the context of growing global instability are to increase the efficiency of foreign economic activity, the competitiveness of the economy and the protection of economic security.

Authors: Sviridova J. A. , Nikonorova A. A. , Luchkin A. G.
Published: August 2024

One of the main features of the Russian pharmaceutical market is that imported pharmaceutical products significantly predominate in its structure according to the criterion of origin. The high share of imports of medicines is due to the need to provide the population with high-quality medicines, including vital medicines, analogues of which are not produced in the Russian Federation. In this regard, consideration of issues related to the customs regulation of imports of pharmaceutical products is particularly relevant. The mechanism of state management of the foreign trade sphere covers a variety of instruments that have a direct or indirect impact on current economic processes, the main of which is customs regulation. The priority area of the customs mechanism is the formation of a favorable economic environment for national production. The customs authorities of Russia are directly involved in regulating the import of pharmaceutical products in order to ensure the economic security of Russia, monitoring compliance with relevant prohibitions and restrictions by participants in foreign economic activity. In the course of the conducted research, it was found that the mechanism of customs regulation of the import of pharmaceutical products is crucial in the formation of foreign trade turnover of goods of the studied commodity group.
Yoga as a Potential Tool for Filling Implementation Gap in Promoting Better Mental Health in Geriatric Age Group at Global Level: A Scoping Review
Authors: Dhikav Vikas , Bhati Prerna , Kumar Pankaj , Anand Praveen Kumar
Published: August 2024

This scoping review aims to review the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for improving mental health outcomes in the geriatric population globally. Yoga is practiced by millions worldwide. Since practitioners of yoga claim to have calmer minds and better psychological and physical health, this topic needs to be reviewed at length. There is a considerable treatment gap worldwide in treating mental disorders, especially in old age, and there is a shortage of low-cost, feasible, and acceptable preventive or treatment options available to tackle mental ailments for the senior population at large. Yoga can potentially act as a low-cost intervention for promoting better mental health. The article reviews yoga as an implementation strategy for meeting this global challenge. Information related to “Yoga and Mental Health” and “Yoga and old age” was searched in two databases, i.e., PubMed and Google Scholar, using a standard search strategy and search strings. Only the articles published in the English language were selected. A standard data extraction form was used to extract and tabulate the data. A comprehensive search strategy (annexed) yielded only two papers as the work on implementation research on mental health is dismal. Both were excluded as the papers did not belong to implementation research. However, for the sake of narrative review, a common search strategy in PubMed included key terms such as “yoga and aging and mental health” and yielded 54 results out of which 7 were included for this scoping review. Comprehensive advanced search from Google Scholar revealed 4850 articles. Screening found 1 implementation research abstract only and two clinical trials. None was included as they did not belong to implementation research. Considering the potential that yoga has as a preventive and therapeutic option, scientific work on implementation research involving mental health and yoga is required. Considering the bludgeoning amount of work done on the subject, there is a possibility of including the same in mainstream medicine as a low-cost preventive or therapeutic option to address the implementation gap in mental health, especially for the senior age group.
Examining the Relationship Between Social Support, Self-Efficacy, Diabetes Self-Management, and Quality of Life Among Rural Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes in Eastern China: Path Analytical Approach
Authors: Wang Lizhu , Li Li , Qiu Yang , Li Sihan , Wang Zhonghua
Published: August 2024

Background

Patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in rural China frequently exhibit inadequate diabetes self-management (DSM) and a reduced quality of life (QoL). Social support and self-efficacy are known to influence DSM and QoL. However, the pathways through which social support and self-efficacy impact DSM and QoL among patients with T2D in rural China has yet to be fully elucidated.

Objective

This study offers a foundation for developing policies in rural chronic disease management, thereby, contributing to the improvement of T2D prevention and control in China and other transitional countries.

Methods

This study used a cross-sectional design, collecting data from a survey conducted between May and July 2021 on DSM and QoL among rural patients diagnosed with T2D in 2 townships in East China. All patients with T2D were enrolled through cluster sampling from the township health center database, and a questionnaire survey was administered by investigators. Structural equation modeling and multiple regression analyses were used to explore the pathways through which social support influences DSM and QoL, as well as the mediating role of self-efficacy.

Results

It was found that the DSM score (mean 37.42, SD 7.70) was less than half of the maximum theoretical score. The QoL score (mean 48.92, SD 8.88) accounted for 36% of the maximum theoretical score. Social support directly and positively affected the DSM and QoL of Chinese rural patients with T2D (P<.01); an increase of 1 unit in social support was associated with a direct increment of 0.339 units in DSM and 0.397 units in QoL. Self-efficacy played a positive mediating role (P<.01), further increasing DSM and QoL by 0.147 and 0.159 units, respectively. The mediating effect of self-efficacy accounted for 30.2% and 28.6% of the total effect of social support on DSM and QoL. Furthermore, the family and friend dimension of social support, along with the symptom and disease management dimensions of self-efficacy, were significantly associated with DSM or QoL (P<.01).

Conclusions

The study confirmed the direct and indirect influences of social support on DSM and QoL and elucidated the mediating effect of self-efficacy among rural patients with T2D in eastern China. Interventions should be developed to enhance both social support and self-efficacy, creating a positive cycle of mutual reinforcement to improve DSM and QoL among this group.
Comparative Study to Evaluate the Accuracy of Differential Diagnosis Lists Generated by Gemini Advanced, Gemini, and Bard for a Case Report Series Analysis: Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Hirosawa Takanobu , Harada Yukinori , Tokumasu Kazuki , Ito Takahiro , Suzuki Tomoharu , Shimizu Taro
Published: August 2024

Background

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) systems by Google have recently been updated from Bard to Gemini and Gemini Advanced as of December 2023. Gemini is a basic, free-to-use model after a user’s login, while Gemini Advanced operates on a more advanced model requiring a fee-based subscription. These systems have the potential to enhance medical diagnostics. However, the impact of these updates on comprehensive diagnostic accuracy remains unknown.

Objective

This study aimed to compare the accuracy of the differential diagnosis lists generated by Gemini Advanced, Gemini, and Bard across comprehensive medical fields using case report series.

Methods

We identified a case report series with relevant final diagnoses published in the American Journal Case Reports from January 2022 to March 2023. After excluding nondiagnostic cases and patients aged 10 years and younger, we included the remaining case reports. After refining the case parts as case descriptions, we input the same case descriptions into Gemini Advanced, Gemini, and Bard to generate the top 10 differential diagnosis lists. In total, 2 expert physicians independently evaluated whether the final diagnosis was included in the lists and its ranking. Any discrepancies were resolved by another expert physician. Bonferroni correction was applied to adjust the P values for the number of comparisons among 3 GAI systems, setting the corrected significance level at P value <.02.

Results

In total, 392 case reports were included. The inclusion rates of the final diagnosis within the top 10 differential diagnosis lists were 73% (286/392) for Gemini Advanced, 76.5% (300/392) for Gemini, and 68.6% (269/392) for Bard. The top diagnoses matched the final diagnoses in 31.6% (124/392) for Gemini Advanced, 42.6% (167/392) for Gemini, and 31.4% (123/392) for Bard. Gemini demonstrated higher diagnostic accuracy than Bard both within the top 10 differential diagnosis lists (P=.02) and as the top diagnosis (P=.001). In addition, Gemini Advanced achieved significantly lower accuracy than Gemini in identifying the most probable diagnosis (P=.002).

Conclusions

The results of this study suggest that Gemini outperformed Bard in diagnostic accuracy following the model update. However, Gemini Advanced requires further refinement to optimize its performance for future artificial intelligence–enhanced diagnostics. These findings should be interpreted cautiously and considered primarily for research purposes, as these GAI systems have not been adjusted for medical diagnostics nor approved for clinical use.
El modo de vida rural: vulnerabilidad y desafíos por la pandemia de COVID-19 en Tlahuapan, Puebla
Authors: Salas Quintanal Hernán Javier
Published: August 2024

En marzo de 2020, cuando México se inserta en la pandemia mundial generada por el virus sars-CoV-2 que causa la enfermedad COVID-19, se determinaron medidas de prevención, seguimiento de contagios y atención de enfermos. Dichas acciones se concentraron en las ciudades.2 Con el supuesto de que el virus se dispersaba con más velocidad en los centros urbanos de mayor densidad poblacional, los poblados rurales no recibieron la misma atención, sin embargo, el virus, nombrado coloquialmente “el bicho”, se propagó por todo el territorio nacional. El propósito de este capítulo es conocer etnográficamente la manera en que un poblado rural desarrolló su vida diaria en este período, con base en la caracterización de la ruralidad de Tlahuapan, Puebla, en el centro de México. En el contexto del modo de vida rural, el objetivo de este trabajo es analizar cómo han experimentado los habitantes rurales la pandemia y su exhorto al distanciamiento social, así como reflexionar sobre el acervo cultural que les permite continuar y reproducir su existencia, cuya evidencia se halla en la manera y significado que dan a la enfermedad y muerte. Para entender los cambios culturales es preciso poner atención en los espacios socio laborales que se mueven en este lapso. En este análisis podemos reflexionar sobre tres posibles escenarios en un tiempo pandémico cuyas consecuencias se prolongarán y no se reducen a los últimos dos años. El primero se refiere a la continuidad del grupo con base en formas de organización comunitaria tradicionales e históricas capaces de innovar y apropiarse de influencias culturales de su entorno; el segundo, establece la posibilidad de disolución de modos de vida y de los mecanismos que posee la colectividad como medios para confirmar su pertenencia; y el tercero busca repensar las bases de nuevos nexos, redes de relaciones frente a la vulnerabilidad social, a las carencias actuales y futuras. En este sentido, el propósito del trabajo es destacar las debilidades estructurales y coyunturales y las fortalezas objetivas y subjetivas de las sociedades rurales, a partir de las experiencias adquiridas frente a la pandemia. El trabajo se articula en cinco secciones y una reflexión final. Primero se establece la estrategia metodológica, luego el contexto socioterritorial y modo de vida rural, para dar lugar al análisis del “poder” del virus y su “ruta” por los pueblos de Tlahuapan. Se finaliza con un apartado sobre la forma en la que conmemoran a los difuntos, con casos que ayudan a comprender el sentido de la vida y la muerte en momentos de crisis sanitaria y económica.
Militarización de la seguridad pública en México: ¿la democracia en riesgo?
Authors: Vázquez Valencia Luis Daniel
Published: August 2024

El COVID-19 trajo muchas cosas a México: la conferencia de prensa vespertina del encargado de comunicación social sobre este tema, el subsecretario Hugo López-Gatell; la solicitud de quedarnos en casa; el uso del cubrebocas; la suspensión de reuniones; el cierre de espacios públicos, etcétera. Pero la militarización no fue una de ellas, ésta ya era parte de nuestro panorama nacional y su profundización poco tiene que ver con el COVID-19. A partir de las decisiones que distintos gobiernos tomaron en el marco del COVID-19, y del riesgo para las democracias, dos organizaciones emitieron informes sobre el estado que guardaba este régimen político. Una de ellas es Varieties of democracy (V-Dem1) quien publicó su reporte 2020 intitulado Autocratization Surges – Resistance Grows.2 Por su parte, Latin American Public Opinion Project (Lapop)3 publicó su informe 2018-2019 lapop’s Americas Barometer takes the pulse of democracy.4 En este marco general de regresión democrática, la pandemia provocada por el COVID-19 es el pretexto perfecto para apuntalar los avances autoritarios por medio de poderes especiales asignados a los ejecutivos, y en detrimento de los congresos y las cortes. De hecho, V-Dem se apresuró a analizar en qué países se realizaban estas regresiones democráticas y presentó sus conclusiones en el informe Pandemic Backsliding: ¿Does COVID-19 Put Democracy at Risk? 6
Las fuerzas armadas en el contexto del COVID-19. Legitimación y pretexto
Authors: Serrano García Sandra Liliana
Published: August 2024

La pandemia declarada a partir de la COVID-19 a inicios de 2020 implicó para los Estados un escenario inesperado que los llevó a tomar decisiones de toda naturaleza para hacerle frente. Al mismo tiempo, el contexto de emergencia y la poca información que en un primer momento se tuvo sobre el virus, abrió la posibilidad para que algunos Estados aprovecharan dicho contexto a fin de ampliar sus políticas. Tal fue el caso de la militarización en varios países. Bajo la justificación de la necesidad de recurrir a las fuerzas armadas para hacerle frente a las distintas implicaciones de la pandemia, varios gobiernos se apoyaron en las Fuerzas Armadas. Aunque América Latina no fue la única región que se apoyó en los militares, aquí las fuerzas armadas asistieron a una intensificación de su intervención en actividades ajenas a las propias de la defensa de los países frente al exterior. Ya no solo se está frente a una participación de las fuerzas armadas en tareas de seguridad pública, sino a una continua expansión en otras actividades gubernamentales. México no es la excepción. La emergencia sanitaria permitió una mayor ampliación de la participación de las fuerzas armadas en actividades propias de autoridades civiles. Al declararse la pandemia, las fuerzas armadas ya participaban y lideraban las tareas de seguridad pública en el país, pero con la emergencia sanitaria no sólo se profundizó esa participación, sino que se amplió a otras áreas de la vida pública. En lo que sigue este ensayo aborda estos dos elementos del papel de las fuerzas armadas durante la pandemia. En primer lugar, se presentan algunas de las actividades que han realizado las fuerzas armadas en el contexto de la emergencia sanitaria y que han servido como un marco de legitimidad frente a la población civil. En segundo lugar, se analiza la ampliación de la militarización en las tareas de seguridad pública que dio su paso más fuerte en el momento en que los distintos actores e instituciones políticas se encontraban cerradas dadas las restricciones al inicio de la pandemia. Finalmente, el ensayo cierra con unas reflexiones finales en torno a la construcción de un gobierno y un estado democráticos.
Una pandemia olvidada en Chiapas: la influenza «española» de 1918-1919
Authors: Lisbona Guillén Miguel
Published: August 2024

En la construcción de un discurso hegemónico de progreso a nivel mundial, que llegaría a convertirse en la imagen de las representaciones de la modernidad, existían indudables resistencias para admitir la vulnerabilidad que representaba una enfermedad como la influenza española, y su rastro de muerte e indefensión tanto individual como social. Si embargo, esto que era evidente en los distintos continentes parece alejado de lo que se vivió en el México que acababa de celebrar su nueva Constitución en 1917; un país deseoso de edificarse a través de la narrativa sobre la era iniciada con la Revolución mexicana. Esta visión, expresada en los discursos políticos, a la par la ratificaba la sociología evolutiva procedente del siglo XIX, desde la cual se creía en un futuro nuevo orden para el “universo humano”; es decir, se compartía esa “especie de religión social común, la idea de que la sociedad evoluciona en el sentido de un progreso continuo”. Los datos incluidos en este libro aportan conocimientos sobre lo sucedido durante los meses en que la influenza española se hizo presente en Chiapas.
Redes Productivas Globales y Núcleos Dinámicos en Norteamérica: la Transición Tecnológico-Productiva de la Industria Automotriz
Authors: Ordóñez Gutiérrez Sergio
Published: August 2024

La contribución de la perspectiva de las redes productivas globales (RPG’s) para dar cuenta del nuevo espacio global, cobra toda su dimensión desde de una aproximación teórico-metodológica del capitalismo en términos de fases histórico-espaciales de desarrollo, con ciclos industriales diferenciados por su núcleo dinámico. La industria automotriz mundial (IA) atraviesa una profunda transformación debido a la transición hacia los vehículos eléctricos y autónomos. Bajo su anterior base tecnológico-productiva, formaba parte del complejo automotriz-metal-mecánico-petroquímico que constituyó el núcleo dinámico de la fase fordista-keynesiana. En esa transición subyace un proceso de revolucionamiento de la industria por parte del sector electrónico-informático y de telecomunicaciones, que constituye el núcleo dinámico de un nuevo ciclo industrial propio de la actual fase de desarrollo. Esto implica una base tecnológico-productiva cambiante y una reconfiguración jerárquico-espacial de la IA, con el despliegue de nuevas RPG’s entre los núcleos dinámicos de países-nodos globales que involucra a la macro-región norteamericana.
Retos actuales de las encuestas electorales
Authors: García Magos Alejandro
Published: August 2024

A pesar de su ubicuidad en el discurso público, las encuestas electorales siguen siendo enigmáticas y generan escepticismo. Su utilidad futura depende en gran medida de cómo se aborde este escepticismo mediante esfuerzos pedagógicos que resalten tanto sus capacidades como sus limitaciones. Este desafío se ve complicado por el abusivo uso por parte de los medios y de los actores políticos, así como por el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías. La revolución digital trajo consigo ventajas y desventajas, como los sesgos evidentes en los participantes de los paneles en línea. A pesar de esto, las encuestas basadas en Internet representan el futuro, aunque garantizar la inclusividad y diversidad de los participantes siga siendo un reto mayúsculo. Las discrepancias electorales recientes, como las observadas en las elecciones del Estado de México en 2019, subrayan este desafío y evidencian la crisis de credibilidad que enfrentan las encuestas. Situaciones similares en elecciones alrededor del mundo plantean retos para la precisión de las metodologías. Abordar estos desafíos requiere una comprensión matizada del desarrollo histórico de las encuestas, así como de las dinámicas sociales y del comportamiento humano, además de la innovación tecnológica y metodológica en las ciencias sociales.
The Study on the Nonlinear Effects of Soliton in Optical Fibre
Authors: Jalil Muhammad Arif Bin
Published: August 2024

Abstract: In optical fibres, the chirps generated by GVD and SPM, which both limit the system's performance when operating independently, balance each other out to produce soliton formation. To comprehend how such a balance is possible, we shall study the nonlinear optical effects and the dispersion-induced pulse broadening. If an optical pulse is not adequately chirped before it propagates inside an optical fibre, the GVD broadens the pulse. More specifically, an early stage of transmission compresses a chirped pulse whenever β2 and the chirp parameter C have opposite signs and β2C is negative. The optical pulse chirps due to SPM, ensuring that C > 0. If β2 < 0, it is easy to meet the criteria β2C < 0. Moreover, because the SPM-induced chirp depends on power, it is possible that in some situations, SPM and GVD could cooperate to the extent that the SPM-induced chirp is precisely the right amount to cancel out the pulse broadening caused by GVD. Here, an optical pulse propagates distortion-free as a soliton [27].

Finalidades de la educación para los jóvenes colombianos durante los años 90
Authors: Devia Olaya Liana Katherine , Vargas Herrera Loren Katherine , Valdez Martínez Gonzalo
Published: August 2024

Este artículo está basado en la tesis de maestría titulada El joven colombiano en las políticas educativas de los años 90. Su objetivo es comprender cómo se ha abordado la educación para jóvenes de Colombia en el contexto de la globalización de la década del 90. La investigación se adelantó desde la perspectiva de la arqueología-genealogía con la que se analizaron 323 documentos de periódicos, política pública, revistas y libros que contenían el discurso sobre este asunto. Lo anterior permitió la identificación de dos finalidades de la educación: la preventiva, en la que se les prepara en el ámbito de la sexualidad y la evitación de situaciones de delincuencia, y la que les capacita para la vida laboral; ambas están comprendidas en políticas gubernamentales asociadas a la globalización económica, la seguridad de la población y la superación de la pobreza, siendo las dos últimas las que más influyeron en la educación rural. Se dedicó un apartado a los jóvenes de los sectores rurales, donde se visibilizan sus limitaciones de acceso y calidad de la educación en comparación con los de sectores urbanos.

Suhu dan kelembapan merupakan komponen kenyamanan di suatu ruangan. Ruangan dikatakan nyaman jika suhu mencapai angka 23oC-26oC dan kelembapan ruangang mencapai 40% -60%. Jika keadaan ruangan nyaman, kegiatan yang berjalan di ruangan tersebut akan berjalan dengan baik, sebaliknya jika keadaan ruangan tidak nyaman akan mengganggu kegiatan dalam ruangan tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan ruangan yang ada di Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat yang sudah memenuhi syarat kenyamanan dan ruangan yang belum memenuhi syarat kenyamanan ruangan yang sesuai dengan peraturan. Pengukuran dilakukan saat mata kuliah Instrumen dan Observasi Lingkungan. Ruangan yang diukur adalah hampir seluruh ruangan yang ada di Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Airlangga. Teknik analisis data secara deskriptif, yaitu menggambarkan keadaan ruangan tersebut. Dari hasil pengukuran, sebagian besar ruangan tidak memenuhi syarat kenyamanan ruangan untuk komponen suhu. Sebagian ruangan tidak memenuhi syarat kenyamanan ruangan untuk komponen kelembapan. Dan beberapa ruangan tidak memenuhi kedua syarat suhu dan kelembapan. Perlu dilakukan solusi dalam menyelesaikan masalah suhu dan kelembapan yang tidak memenuhi standar baku mutu lingkungan tersebut. Alternatif solusi yang dapat dilakukan yaitu mengganti pendingin ruangan yang sudah tidak bekerja dengan baik atau mati, selain itu peletakan dan jumlah pendingin ruangan disesuaikan dengan luas ruangan, dan menanami lebih banyak tanaman hijau di sekitar.

THE RIGHT TO RIDE: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF AN URBAN AND MARGINAL PRACTICE
Authors: Coelho Luciano Silveira
Published: August 2024

This text discusses structural aspects of the practice of roller-cart, based on an ethnography conducted in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte between 2019 and 2022. Initial impressions indicated that the roller-cart movement, with competition teams, associations and event organizers in the city, was a large and coordinated action of a cohesive group of people around the same purpose. With a dense and prolonged stay in the field, I found a movement marked by disputes, interests and multiple appropriations that limit, at the same time as they shape, a community of practice that emerges from a collective, urban and marginal construction. In this sense, this text highlights three structural aspects of the practice of roller-cart: the participation of women in events, based on the notion of the sexed city by Michele Perrot; the territorial disputes of these groups with the orders of the State and Capital, from the perspective of the city as a right, by Henri Lefebvre; and the search for legitimacy of a marginalized practice, through the prism of consumption as a constituent of identities, according to Michel de Certeau. Thus, men and women, adults and children, participate, constitute, and are constituted by a polysemic, contradictory, and essentially situated practice.

The scarcity of water resources has led researchers to investigate and develop mechanisms for the good use of saline and brackish waters to produce drinking water. In Brazil, the water crisis has always been a reality. The objective was to carry out desalination through a prototyped system with sustainable supplementary heating, to help supply drinking water to residents who face precarious living conditions. The research is aimed at the Bailique Archipelago and Sucuriju District, located in the extreme east of the State of Amapá and bathed by the Atlantic Ocean. It presents a quali-quantitative analysis, as it involves the construction of the prototype and temperature and physical-chemical tests of water samples. Regarding the results, desalination was carried out using a prototype, with subsequent analysis of the physical-chemical conditions of the interstitial waters to correlate with the potability parameters. The supplementary heating positioned on the sides of the system converged solar rays towards the greenhouse that contains salt water inside, and a device on the glass slope collected the condensed water. The 50cm x 50cm model desalinated 890mL and the 25cm x 25cm model desalinated 190mL of water in one day, reaching a maximum temperature of 91 ºC.

A internacionalização é um Objetivo de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU, assim, muitas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) passam a priorizá-la. Neste contexto, o Balanced Scorecard (BSC) pode ser adaptado para atingir este propósito. Este trabalho objetiva apresentar uma proposta de implementação do BSC focado na internacionalização das IES por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa e exploratória. A adaptação do BSC para a internacionalização nas IES norteia-se nas perspectivas: financeira: almejando aumentar receitas e reduzir custos com parcerias estrangeiras; clientes: aumentar satisfação e engajamento dos estudantes e parceiros; processos internos: reduzir tempo de processamento e aumentar eficiência dos serviços; aprendizado e crescimento: desenvolver habilidades interculturais e promover inovação. Como resultado a proposta do BSC adaptado para internacionalização das IES, descreve métricas e iniciativas para cada uma destas perspectivas possibilitando mapear a gestão estratégica. Isso permite inferir que o BSC é uma ferramenta adaptável às necessidades apontadas, entretanto necessita-se novas pesquisas para avaliar os resultados de sua aplicação.

O presente ensaio tem por objetivo investigar o uso das tecnologias no processo educativo, bem como o entendimento da relação da educação e as hegemonias via utilização de recursos tecnológicos. Parte-se, desse modo, de uma pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico. Pretende-se compreender a influência das tecnologias e de hegemonias nas práticas educativas e na reformulação dos conteúdos da educação e seus usos. Reflete-se, também, sobre os desafios e as possibilidades dos usos das tecnologias, seja advinda dos professores, bem como dos alunos e, como essa relação se dá no ambiente escolar. Destarte, compreende-se que as instituições internacionais implantam a ideologia de que a globalização é algo irreversível e que todos os povos estão fadados a participar desse processo, levando todos ao seu uso e consumo dos produtos e ideias oriundas desse processo de reorganização global. No entanto, no que se refere à educação, os usos das tecnologias encontram-se numa encruzilhada no que se refere à relação professor-aluno-tecnologia e seus usos. Ademais, a conclusão do manuscrito gira em torno de que as culturas hegemônicas das tecnologias e as dificuldades de seus usos no ambiente escolar não dialogam e são desafios a serem enfrentados de modo que o espaço escolar seja aproveitado em conjunto com as tecnologias para maior condição de ensino e aprendizagem.
