Introduction: Bacterial contamination in milk is increasingly becoming a global health threat that is predisposing humans to various food-borne pathogens. This study is carried out to isolate and identify the possible common bacteria which cause milk contamination and the risks associated with it in Biharwe.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Biharwe small holder dairy farms, Kashari Sub County, Mbarara district, from March 2022 to October 2022 to assess bacterial contamination, isolate, identify, and test antibiotic susceptibility patterns of organisms. A total of 20 milk samples were randomly collected from 20 privately owned small holder dairy farms with healthy lactating animals. Isolation and identification of organisms was carried out by using biochemical tests. The bacteria so identified and their isolation rate were E. coli (20%), Citrobacter freundii (40%), Enterobacter Cloacae (30%), Enterobacter agglomerans (10%). These are indicative of significant contamination of milk and important human pathogens. The antibiotic susceptibility test was performed on Mueller-Hinton agar by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. About 100 % of E. coli isolates was sensitive to Tetracycline with 0% resistance, 75% of Citrobacter freundii was sensitive to Tetracycline with 25% resistant isolates, 100% of Entrobacter cloacae was sensitive to Tetracycline with 0% resistance, and 100% of E. agglomerans was sensitive with 0% resistance. Overall 90% of the isolates were sensitive to Tetracycline with only 10% resistance. All the bacterial isolates were 100% sensitive to Gentamicin with 0% resistant. 100% of Citrobacter freundii, Entrobacter cloacae and Enterobacter agglomerans isolateswas resistant to Ampicillin while only 50% of E.coli isolates was sensitive to Ampicillin. 100% of Entrobacter cloacae, E.coli and Enterobacter agglomerans isolates was sensitive to Streptomycin while 75% of Citrobacter freundii was sensitive and 25% was resistant to Streptomycin. Citrobacter freundii was the only isolated organism resistant to more than one antibiotic (100% resistant to Ampicillin and 25% resistant to Tetracycline and Streptomycin). Therefore, the pattern of antibiotic susceptibility tests among the isolates is statistically significant in Gentamicin (P=0.00).
Conclusion: This study revealed that raw cow’s milk in the study area could be an important source of infection with a wide range of organisms, particularly gram-negative bacteria. An important source of microbial contamination of milk is fecal pollution probably cow dung. There is need for instituting effective control measures to protect public health. This includes mandatory milk pasteurization by traders and improved hygienic handling of containers during milking, ensuring milking is not done on floors with cow dung.
Mathematical and Parametric Analysis of Graphene/Graphite based Stacked-Disk Metal-free Cone Shaped Wide band Tera hertz Absorber

Published: November 2022

In this article, a wide band Tera hertz metal free absorber has been designed and numerically analysed. Graphite/Graphene disk is stacked which is surrounded by a low permittivity substrate. Further a substrate is placed over the stacked Graphite sheet, which acts for resonance cavity. A conical Shaped Structure is obtained by placing such type of model over one another by reducing the outer radius only. The resonating mode of dielectric covered substrate and Graphite or Graphene sheet are matched for wide band absorber. The result has also been calculated by analysis of its Equivalent Transmission line model. The result obtained from transmission line and from numerical analysis have been compared. These result have also been verified using MATLAB and CST software. The proposed absorber provides a simple and compact structure by polarisation. By changing the incident angle of 750 of proposed absorber polarisation variation provide a higher-level absorber in same plane. A Graphene disk is used at the top to change the chemical potential of absorber so that different tuning is provided for the response of wide band absorber. The chemical potential for broad band absorber lies between 0 and 0.21 eV, while for narrow band absorber, it is higher than 0.21 eV. If chemical potential is greater than 0.21 eV, it separates the lower order band that is provided by stacked Graphite sheet. This enhances the working capacity of proposed metal free wide band absorber.

Published: November 2022

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, leaders in the field of interprofessional (IP) education have encouraged faculty to explore online adaptations to curriculum and examine strategies that enhance students’ structural competence. Structural competence is broadly defined as the ability to understand how oppression, governmental policies, and environmental inputs impact the health and well-being of an individual. With these charges in mind, a team of IP health science faculty developed two online curricular activities guided by the “common reading” book, Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital by Sheri Fink. This article describes the development and findings of a mixed-methods evaluation of the two IP learning activities: (a) the Interprofessional Common Reading Experience (IPCRE) and (b) the IPCRE follow-up. The activities engaged over 250 students across multiple health professions (i.e., social work, nursing, athletic training, speech-language pathology, nutrition, and public health) attending three different universities. Our findings contribute to a greater understanding of how to develop online IP activities and curricular innovations that help to train equity-minded and anti-racist practitioners.

Computer-aided drug design by molecular docking, statistical analysis like multiple linear regression (MLR), principal component analysis (PCA), and molecular dynamics studies can emerge as an efficient approach to design promising core scaffolds for coronavirus medication. The main protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1 is one of the critical targets for designing and developing broad-antiviral therapeutic drugs. In this evaluation, we have selected 40 reported phytochemicals to design the efficient core scaffolds, which can act as a potent inhibitor against the main protease of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1. We categorized the selected phytochemicals into a more bioavailable and less bioavailable set considering phytochemical drug likeliness properties. All the selected phytochemicals vigorously interact with the catalytic dyad His41 and Cys145. Statistical analysis MLR has confirmed their contribution to structural features on binding affinities and PCA analysis for structural activity relationship (SAR) for their structural pattern recognition to determine the core scaffolds inhibitors. We have confirmed that 4'-Hydroxyisolonchocarpin, and BrussochalconeA, are safe and exhibit good pharmacological properties. Our comprehensive computational and statistical analysis reveals that these selected phytochemicals (4'-Hydroxyisolonchocarpin, BrussochalconeA) can be used to design potential broad-antiviral inhibitors against the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-1.

The Asymmetric Influence of Emotion in the Sharing of COVID-19 Science on Social Media: Observational Study
Authors: Luo Kai , Yang Yang , Teo Hock Hai
Published: November 2022

Background

Unlike past pandemics, COVID-19 is different to the extent that there is an unprecedented surge in both peer-reviewed and preprint research publications, and important scientific conversations about it are rampant on online social networks, even among laypeople. Clearly, this new phenomenon of scientific discourse is not well understood in that we do not know the diffusion patterns of peer-reviewed publications vis-à-vis preprints and what makes them viral.

Objective

This paper aimed to examine how the emotionality of messages about preprint and peer-reviewed publications shapes their diffusion through online social networks in order to inform health science communicators’ and policy makers’ decisions on how to promote reliable sharing of crucial pandemic science on social media.

Methods

We collected a large sample of Twitter discussions of early (January to May 2020) COVID-19 medical research outputs, which were tracked by Altmetric, in both preprint servers and peer-reviewed journals, and conducted statistical analyses to examine emotional valence, specific emotions, and the role of scientists as content creators in influencing the retweet rate.

Results

Our large-scale analyses (n=243,567) revealed that scientific publication tweets with positive emotions were transmitted faster than those with negative emotions, especially for messages about preprints. Our results also showed that scientists’ participation in social media as content creators could accentuate the positive emotion effects on the sharing of peer-reviewed publications.

Conclusions

Clear communication of critical science is crucial in the nascent stage of a pandemic. By revealing the emotional dynamics in the social media sharing of COVID-19 scientific outputs, our study offers scientists and policy makers an avenue to shape the discussion and diffusion of emerging scientific publications through manipulation of the emotionality of tweets. Scientists could use emotional language to promote the diffusion of more reliable peer-reviewed articles, while avoiding using too much positive emotional language in social media messages about preprints if they think that it is too early to widely communicate the preprint (not peer reviewed) data to the public.
Covid-19: A Liminal (Transformative) Experience
Authors: Mastrogianakos John
Published: November 2022

Applying the threshold concept of liminality to the Covid-19 pandemic, the essay explores the connection between the development of creativity and critical, disruptive life moments. It argues that it is during critical moments of social disruption that humans best adapt to the requirement of changing societal norms by transitioning to thinking and actions that transform the way they relate to each other and the world. The takeaway of the essay is that liminal space and the thinking and actions that unfold within it are a necessary part of the human condition because it prepares us for the inevitable changes and challenges that delineate the human condition.

Published: November 2022

Abstract: India is progressing at large rate. With the progress at such rate, parking a car is the major issue in the nation. Insufficient parking space has become a major issue in top Indian cities. The vehicles are parked insensitively on the streets which indirectly leads to occupancy of more space. Also demand for personal vehicles is on its high. Thus, parking a vehicle is a big concern today and callously parked vehicles add congestion to the roads. To overcome this issue various parking systems are available. But the problem with these parking systems is they require more space and also are not cost-effective. So, our project is focused on developing a parking system that is fully automatic. The other major problem we are facing today is Inefficient Premises Security Systems. Due to some loopholes, Intruders can easily harm us or can rob our valuables. Our Premises Security System keeps your home and your surroundings safe, deters crime and is quite helpful in emergency situation. We automated it to make it much more secure and safe which will help us in maintaining the safety of the residences.
Audio to Sign Language Converter

Published: November 2022

Abstract: The hearing and speech disabled people have a communication problem with other people. It is hard for such individuals to express themselves since everyone is not familiar with the sign language. The aim of this paper is to design a system which is helpful for the people with hearing / speech disabilities and convert a voice in Indian sign language (ISL). The task of learning a sign language can be cumbersome for people so this paper proposes a solution to this problem using speech recognition and image processing. The Sign languages have developed a means of easy communication primarily for the deaf and hard of hearing people. In this work we propose a real time system that recognizes the voice input through Pyaudio, SPHINX and Google speech recognition API and converts it into text, followed by sign language output of text which is displayed on the screen of the machine in the form of series of images or motioned video by the help of various python libraries.

Abstract: This study aims to improve the performance of the vine robot to allow for its movement into hard materials by innovating on a setup that can help it to move through hard materials like rocky terrain, caves, man made covers, etc. increasing its area of use to almost all drilling and surveying activities happening in the industry today and will the time and resources of many of our customers if we succeed in this endeavor. Vine Robots are soft continuum robots design with low-cost fabrication in mind and for the navigation of difficult environments. Unlike traditional robots, which move through surface contact to walk or run, the vine robot relies on growth for movement. Much like a vine and other plants, the robot has a grounded root, or “base,” and can continually grow as it expands to add material at its tip. Vine robots can be easily assembled and programmed by novices while also having the option to perform complex tasks.
Real Time Smart Object Detection using Machine Learning
Authors: Jyothi Madapati Asha , Kalidas Mr. M.
Published: November 2022

Abstract: Efficient and accurate object detection has been an important topic in the advancement of computer vision systems. With the advent of deep learning techniques, the accuracy for object detection has increased drastically. The project aims to incorporate state-of-the-art technique for object detection with the goal of achieving high accuracy with a real-time performance. A major challenge in many of the object detection systems is the dependency on other computer vision techniques for helping the deep learning based approach, which leads to slow and non-optimal performance. In this project, we use a completely deep learning based approach to solve the problem of object detection in an end-to-end fashion. The network is trained on the most challenging publicly available data-set, on which a object detection challenge is conducted annually. The resulting system is fast and accurate, thus aiding those applications which require object detection

Published: November 2022

Abstract: The first step in the efficient and effective management of solid waste in gramme panchayats in Uttar Pradesh is to identify the type and quantity of garbage. To do this, we choose two cities from the central area and the west region (1. Jhansi, 2. Saharanpur). Two Gram Panchayats from each of the aforementioned districts were surveyed. The sample came from the chosen Gram Panchayat and was as follows: Gram Panchayats with populations greater than 10,000 were surveyed in 300 households, those with populations between 5,000 and 10,000 were surveyed in 150 households, those with populations between 2000 and 5000 were surveyed in 100 households, and those with populations under 10,000 were surveyed in 50 households. The District authorities were consulted for the selection of Gram Panchayats. Additionally, a survey of one weekly market was conducted in each District in order to collect information on the amount and type of waste produced during the weekly markets. Four major heads were used to categorise the garbage produced in gramme panchayats (Bio-degradable waste, Recyclable waste, Hazardous waste, Inert waste). In the study, we discovered that biodegradable trash makes up the majority of waste in gramme panchayats (57%), followed by inert waste (22%) and recyclable waste (17%). While all waste types can be managed, there is insufficient solid waste management at the gramme panchayat level. Additionally, we make some recommendations for efficient gramme panchayat-level waste management in Uttar Pradesh.

«Levantamos los ojos hacia lo inconmensurable, bajamos la mirada hacia lo despreciable y vemos allí un real cada vez más amplio, cada vez más sorprendente. Contemplamos y cuestionamos en la actualidad realidades inimaginables en los dominios de la genética, de lo cuántico, de lo cosmológico y de lo bacteriológico; y sentimos entonces una brecha en el tejido de lo real, en los contornos de nuestra ontología. ¿Qué es un hombre, una mujer, en los planos neurológico, celular y viral?, ¿cómo podemos dibujar las líneas, las formas, las sombras de nuestro ser cuando nuevas realidades nos impiden circunscribir con precisión la consciencia y delimitar claramente la especie?»

«Este trabajo puede operar como un material de apoyo fundamental para quienes reconocen una parte de la historia nacional, pero no identifican, al menos en una fase preliminar, una serie de fenómenos y acontecimientos que conforman la historia regional. Estudiar esta obra contribuye al afianzamiento de una perspectiva más concienzuda de la nación como un territorio que no debe ser visto como ajeno o exclusivo, sino que está circunscrito dentro de una región con fenómenos y problemáticas similares. Y esto es apenas un punto de partida si lo que se quiere es adquirir unos conceptos profundos al respecto.»

«Me preguntaba, ¿qué será lo que veré? La luz ha sido una obsesión personal en mi pintura de los últimos años: contrastes, potencia y alegría de la luz; querer ver más allá, encontrar salidas. Ahora la luz es distinta y, por lo tanto, la mirada también es diferente. Pienso en el concepto «luz negra» del sufismo, una vertiente mística del islam que interpreta la realidad como luz en diferentes grados de intensidad. Es un camino de conexión con lo divino apoyado en visiones interiores de diferentes colores que desembocan en un estadio de supraconciencia conocido simbólicamente como luz negra».
Construcción de sociedades justas, pacíficas e inclusivas desde las identidades nacionales. Una aportación a la Agenda 2030
Authors: Flan Goualo Lazare
Published: November 2022

Se reflexiona en torno a la relevancia de la identidad nacional como ruta metodológica adecuada para la construcción de sociedades justas, pacíficas e inclusivas propuesta por la Agenda 2030 en su objetivo dieciséis. La paz, justicia e inclusión constituyen valores cardinales que asumen una dimensión más intersubjetiva que jurídica. Su concreción podría lograrse de forma sostenida desde una perspectiva esencialmente intersubjetiva a través de la cual la identidad nacional en cuanto identidad colectiva puede asumirse como canal expedito. Se hace un breve estado de la cuestión del objetivo dieciséis de la Agenda para resaltar su relevancia particular e identificar la contribución de la identidad nacional como ruta metodológica eficiente para su realización. Luego, se establece un acercamiento eórico-conceptual de la identidad nacional para recalcar la fuerza del sentimiento que genera a partir de dos modelos de nación, y enfatizar su valor para la construcción de sociedades justas, pacíficas e inclusivas.
Derechos fundamentales y derechos humanos: categorías diferenciales en el estado constitucional
Authors: Roncancio Bedoya Andrés Felipe , Restrepo Tamayo John Fernando , Restrepo Marulanda Mariana
Published: November 2022

En la teoría jurídica constitucional hablar sobre derechos no solo supone hablar de condiciones normativas del sistema jurídico, sino que se convierte en una discusión sobre el núcleo del Estado constitucional. El constitucionalismo contemporáneo puede entenderse en la medida en que su construcción no solo responde a un criterio amplio de normas que consagran garantías, sino que se desarrollan a partir de una doble visión, tanto de orden político como jurídico, donde a través de la existencia y operación del Estado se establece cuáles son las contraprestaciones a las que puede acceder todo sujeto. Tales contraprestaciones se presentan en una doble categoría: derechos humanos y derechos fundamentales. Este trabajo, mediante el uso de una metodología cualitativa y análisis descriptivo, se propone señalar los aspectos coincidentes y diferenciales entre una categoría y otra.
Reflexiones acerca del educar o el arte de ser feliz

Published: November 2022

Diversos autores de la filosofía y el pensamiento han desarrollado ideas para coadyuvar procesos pedagógicos favorables a los sujetos, que a su vez alejen al maestro de pasiones desenfrenadas dentro del aula, lo cual se traduce en resentimientos absolutos del ser. En este contexto, nos proponemos estudiar algunas ideas que permitan alcanzar mejores y significativos niveles de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Para ello, se presenta una interpretación crítica de la literatura, a partir del método analítico-sintético, para analizar varios textos que han contribuido a la presentación de elementos que sustentan la temática del educar y la felicidad. En virtud de ello y pensando en todos los maestros, quienes han sido permeados por las bondades de grandes espíritus progresistas, nos aproximamos a la conclusión de que cada día se concientiza más sobre la importancia de convertir un leve halo de luz en todo un resplandor efervescente tendiente a la felicidad del contexto educativo.

Published: November 2022

La actitud del docente en el uso y manejo de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC) es fundamental para brindar una formación exitosa en sus estudiantes; la misma debe fortalecerse por medio de una preparación académica y una motivación positiva que brinde una formación sólida a los estudiantes y a las futuras generaciones. El objetivo principal de este artículo es “describir la actitud de los docentes en el uso y manejo de las TIC”. Para alcanzar este objetivo optamos por una investigación no experimental,de corte descriptico ex post facto, y adaptamos los cuestionarios de Agrada, Hinojo y Sola (2016), a los cuales incorporamos los ítems necesarios según la teoría analizada. La población es de noventa y dos profesores, de los cuales aplicamos el cuestionario a una muestra de ochenta docentes de la Facultad de Humanidades de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) (Santo Domingo, República Dominicana). La información obtenida fue procesada en el programa estadístico Statictical Packge for the Social Sciences (SPSS); luego procedimos a extraer la información para su análisis y discusión; finalmente presentamos las conclusiones de interés, las cuales muestran las actitudes fundamentales en los docentes universitarios para lograr que sus estudiantes adquieran conocimientoseducativos que les permita ser exitosos en los procesos de aprendizaje y ser profesionales exitosos en la sociedad.
El papel del Estado en materia de juventud: protección, desarrollo y atención

Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo principal hacer un análisis del papel del Estado en materia de juventud, tanto en el ámbito mexicano, como en el contexto tabasqueño. Para tal fin, se empleó una metodología documental que comprendió tanto las estadísticas sociodemográficas, como la literatura jurídica y científica acerca de la juventud, con un enfoque más orientado hacia lo social. Dichas fuentes de información fueron contrastadas, y se encontró que, a pesar de que el Estado ha intervenido en cuanto a protección mediante leyes, desarrollo a través de planes, programas y atención por medio de instituciones en materia de juventud, su labor no ha sido suficiente para garantizar el bienestar de este sector poblacional. La principal conclusión fue que, más que vulnerables, las y los jóvenes son vulnerados, puesto que a pesar de que las juventudes buscan y son capaces de tomar un mayor compromiso en lo que respecta a su salud y a su vida, el que lo hagan depende considerablemente del actuar de otros, es decir, no basta con que los jóvenes decidan intervenir para mejorar su situación, sino que hay una realidad social compleja que condiciona su bienestar, en la que está implicada el Estado.
Los derechos de la infancia y la adolescencia en las Constituciones europeas

Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo tiene por finalidad aportar una mirada contingente y crítica acerca del procedimiento de constitucionalización de los derechos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes suscitado en el contexto normativo europeo. Para la elaboración de este artículo se realizó una investigación de carácter cualitativo con enfoque hermenéutico de tipo documental. Como resultado, constatamos que si bien las Constituciones de los países de la Europa del Este y los euroasiáticos, con democracias jóvenes y textos fundamentales relativamente nuevos, han incorporado en su articulado preceptos alusivos a los derechos de la niñez y la adolescencia, no se vislumbra, en cambio, una voluntad uniforme, homogénea y clara por parte del resto de Estados del viejo continente por adaptar sus normas supremas a las previsiones dimanantes de la Convención sobre los derechos del niño. Lo anterior nos lleva a concluir la necesidad de reformular buen número de constituciones europeas, para asegurar con ello que los derechos de la niñez y la adolescencia se garanticen y protejan a través de los mecanismos contenidos en dichas cartas fundamentales. Así como evidenciar, incluso desde lo simbólico, que la infancia ha sido, por fin, visibilizada y tomada en consideración de la manera más adecuada posible.

Published: November 2022

El objetivo general del este trabajo es ofrecer una sistematización de distintos significados que recibe la expresión “dignidad humana” en los usos por parte de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humamos (en adelanto Corte IDH). El corpus se compone de trescientos noventa y siete documentos (casos contenciosos y opiniones consultivas dictadas entre 1982 y 2018). A efectos de evaluar el uso del término en los textos, se utilizaron categorías y subcategorías construidas por el equipo de investigación tomando como referencia los principales juristas que se abocaron al tema. Este estudio permitió elaborar una serie de gráficos y tablas que hacen a una presentación cuantitativa como disparador de algunas conclusiones. Entre las conclusiones y proyecciones de investigación podrán encontrarse observaciones sobre cómo ha evolucionado y qué sentidos coexisten de la dignidad en la jurisprudencia de la Corte IDH. También se presentan las fórmulas usuales y los escenarios fácticos más frecuentes en el discurso de la Corte. El principal aporte consiste en mostrar que la Corte no realiza un uso uniforme ni claro del término.
Direito ao conhecimento da acusação, garantia constitucional ao intérprete judicial e aplicação de programas de tradução em atos processuais
Authors: Langroiva Pereira Cláudio José , Marchioni Guilherme Lobo
Published: November 2022

A partir de reflexões sobre os desafios do uso da linguagem como forma de comunicação no âmbito do Direito, e das dificuldades enfrentadas por um indivíduo que responde a processo judicial em idioma que não domina, o presente texto discorre sobre o intérprete judicial e a razão da assistência por tradutor, como uma garantia judicial inerente ao Estado democrático de direito. Construídas as premissas sobre a garantia ao intérprete judicial, debate-se a hipótese de dispensar tal profissional substituindo-o pela aplicação de programas digitais (software) de tradução que converta o idioma das decisões e atos processuais, trazendo relato de ocasiões registradas na jurisprudência do emprego desta tecnologia. Confrontase, então, a efetividade dos softwares de tradução frente a relevância da garantia de que o acusado possa compreender os atos judiciais, em consonância com direitos fundamentais, resguardados na Constituição Federal, e direitos humanos, assinalados na Convenção Americana sobre Direitos Humanos. A metodologia empregada corresponde a pesquisa bibliográfica, análise de legislação e revisão de jurisprudência, resultando, ao final, na percepção de que há relevante disparidade entre a amplitude necessária à concretização da garantia judicial examinada e a questionável efetividade dos métodos automatizados de tradução de atos processuais.
Retos del nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano para la protección jurídica de la persona con discapacidad
Authors: López-Zamora Sergio Andrés
Published: November 2022

La promulgación de la Constitución Política de Colombia (1991) ha sido considerada como uno de los momentos que generaron el llamado nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano, caracterizado por un cambio antropocentrista que identificó como eje central a la dignidad humana, en cuya vigencia se ha tendido a una mayor garantía para las personas con discapacidad. Considerando que los retos del nuevo constitucionalismo deberían mantener consonancia con los objetivos del milenio, con tendencia a una reducción material de desigualdades, con el presente artículo se analizan los desafíos de esta corriente que requieren mayor atención para la protección jurídica de la persona con discapacidad. Así, mediante una metodología básico-jurídica, se identificarán los retos del nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano en el marco los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), las necesidades de la protección jurídica de la persona con discapacidad en el marco de estudio y cuáles son los retos de estas nuevas tendencias constitucionales frente a la protección jurídica de la persona con discapacidad. Con todo, se exaltará una necesidad de tratamiento, interpretación y promulgación jurídica progresista y de permanente evolución, garantista para grupos desiguales en el entendido de que es un trabajo sin descanso que materializa los fines constitucionales que inspiraron aquellos momentos de avanzada que lograron el nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano.

O artigo busca analisar a atuação das mulheres da Confederación Nacional de Mujeres Campesinas, Indígenas y Originárias – Bartolina Sisa no processo constituinte da Bolívia e sua influência na positivação de direitos, pela perspectiva do feminismo descolonial. O problema que orienta a pesquisa pode ser sintetizado na seguinte pergunta: Como as mulheres Bartolinas Sisas contribuíram para o debate e a positivação de direitos na Constitución Política del Estado de 2009? O objetivo geral do texto é, partindo da compreensão do feminismo descolonial, verificar a atuação das Bartolinas Sisas no processo Constituinte da Bolívia. O método de pesquisa aplicado foi o qualitativo, mediante o emprego de técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com estratégia explicativa. Como resultado da pesquisa, tem-se que as Bartolinas Sisas compuseram/compõem um grupo de mulheres latinas e marginalizadas, cuja luta pode ser caracterizada como feminista descolonial, por ser pautada na busca pela eliminação das desigualdades de gênero na Bolívia e na despatriarcalização da sua sociedade, além de sua descolonização, com reflexos diretos de sua participação no processo constituinte boliviano. Em decorrência da sua atuação, a Bolívia passou a contar com direitos políticos a mulheres indígenas, o reconhecimento do Estado Plurinacional, a previsão de direitos coletivos.
Adult Presentation of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-A) Post COVID-19 Infection Associated with Myocarditis and Heart Failure: A Case Report
Authors: Tarhini Fadlallah A. , Issawi Mariam R. , Zorkot Wael H. , Moulai Chirine , Taleb Hussein
Published: November 2022

During the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, several complications can be noted with different pathophysiology, one of which is multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A). MIS-A can affect various organ systems, including cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and neurologic systems without important respiratory involvement. A previously healthy 39-year-old man presented with fever of three days duration accompanied by diaphoresis, conjunctivitis, acute kidney injury, abdominal pain, lethargy, and vomiting. After a comprehensive infectious workup that was unremarkable, his clinical symptoms along with elevated inflammatory markers in the setting of a recent SARS-CoV-2 infection, associated with a trans-thoracic echocardiography revealing biventricular systolic dysfunction, elevated troponin level and normal coronary arteries as evidenced by his angiography, are in favor of myocarditis. Given the constellation of myocarditis, acute kidney injury, conjunctival injection and negative infectious workup, on top of an underlying hyper inflammatory process, the diagnosis of MIS-A was concluded. The patient received supportive treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone. He was started on angiotensin converting enzymes inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) and Beta blocker. He later demonstrated recovery of cardiac function and normalization of inflammatory markers. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be a worldwide life-threatening infection, it is important to recognize and diagnose MIS-A, as a potentially fatal clinical syndrome that can lead to severe cardiovascular complications. Further studies and reviews must be focused on more specifications and risk stratifications of this complication, to ensure more feasible and rapid diagnosis, and to avoid its related multi-organ morbidity and mortality.
Content Analysis of Agricultural Information Dissemination by the Indigenous Language and National Print Media in Nigeria: Implications for Effective Communication

Published: November 2022

The study conducted content analysis of indigenous and national newspapers (NP) published between 2014 and 2015 with respect to agricultural information disseminated to stakeholders in agriculture. Both purposive and stratified sampling technique was used to select Akede and Alaroye as the indigenous and the Nation and Punch as NPs because of their popularity and coverage in Nigeria. A total of 384 newspapers were used for this study. Results showed that the newspapers featured less of agricultural related information despite the fact that the available agricultural information was carried in form of hard news (5.7% and 81.7%), features (7.3% and 91.7%), photography (4.7% and 50.0%), opinion issues (2.1% and 64.1%), and advertisement (1.6% and 56.2%) for indigenous language and national newspapers respectively. Also, information such as employment in agriculture-related (4.7% and 52.6%), health issues related to agriculture (6.2% and 53.1%), crop production (5.7% and 52.1%), animal husbandry (4.7% and 51.6%)for indigenous language and national newspapers respectively among others were the commonly featured news. Only 6.8% and 80.2% of the indigenous and National newspapers allotted column inches ranging from 0.00-7.0 to agriculture. About 6,8% and 60.4% and 4.7% and 58.9% of indigenous language and national NPs targeted the general audience and Male farmer for disseminating agricultural information. Significant difference existed in the agriculture information featured between the indigenous and national newspapers with an F-test value of 44.882 at p= 0.01; indicating that national newspapers featured agricultural news more than the indigenous ones.  It was recorded that limited space was allocated to the few available information on agriculture in the sampled newspapers. It was concluded that agricultural news were not adequately disseminated in the dailies especially the local dailies that farmers mostly have access to. It was recommended that agriculture-related information should be published on the platforms where the target audience can access for effective communication

It´s necessary to make visible the characteristics of the existing dairy systems in the province of Chaco, although it isn´t taken into account in the statistics. The objective of the work was to identify the adoption of technology in different groups of producers of dairy establishments in the center-west of the province of Chaco-Argentina. Visits were identified and made to 14 dairy establishments between September 2021 and July 2022. The drums were divided into three groups: dairy farm group of agricultural schools (GEA) with mechanical milking, group of dairy farms with only one milking per day (G1O) with manual milking and the group of dairy farms with two milkings per day (G2O) with mechanical milking. The medium and ranges were obtained. The number of cows in milking was 13 (4-24), 7 (12-15) y 14.5 (7-20) (p>0.05). The hectares dedicated to milk production of 18 (13-69), 45 (25-247) and 30 (20-235) hectares (p>0.05), the use of rotation within the lots, 66%, 57% and 100% apply technology. The age at first pregnancy was 24 (24-36), 24 (24-36) and 27 (24-36) months (p>0.05), the duration of breastfeeding in days, 210 (210-300), 180 (150-240) and 205 (200-210) days (p>0.05). The well-marked differences appear in the presence of floor and cement roof in the milking place that only the establishments of two milking possess it. The three groups perform hands hygiene before starting milking and nipple washing before the start of the milking. However, only GEA is the one that performs the sealing of the nipples at the end of the milking. The groups of producers of dairy establishments in the center-west of the province of Chaco-Argentina, which make two milking per day showed a greater adoption of technology in the social aspects and the milking routine. However, we must continue working and that forces the need to generate care policies.
A Proposed Algorithm for Determining the Suitable Number of Significant Digits of Force Transducer Calibration Constants

Published: November 2022

Precision measurement is one of the important goals of measurement and calibration. Positive measures are designed to provide researches with the highest accuracy and precision levels. In force measurements, force measuring instrument manufacturers are striving to achieve the best force measurement resolution to accompany the high level of calibration measurement capabilities achieved by the primary deadweight machines. In the calibration of the force transducers, polynomial equations which correlate, the applied load on the transducer and its corresponding output signal in mV/V are deduced. These equations contain numerical constants A, B and C. This paper introduces a mechanism to determine the suitable number of significant digits for these constants. Error analysis procedure for the calibration polynomial equation is proposed. This proposed algorithm safeguards the most accurate and realistic method for rounding the calibration constants

Los moluscos han logrado expandirse y colonizar diferentes ambientes tanto terrestres como marinos y dulceacuícolas. Entre ellos, la almeja asiática (Corbicula fluminea) se destaca como invasora de los sistemas de agua dulce en Argentina. El objetivo del presente trabajo es reportar por primera vez a la almeja asiática C. fluminea en la provincia de San Juan, ampliando su distribución en Argentina. Las valvas se colectaron en la margen del río San Juan al pie de la Central Hidroeléctrica Ullum. El reporte de esta especie es importante ya que en la provincia y en la región, aporta información útil a las autoridades para elaborar estrategias de manejo que permitan evaluar y mitigar el impacto en las poblaciones de organismos acuáticos nativos.
6+1 Writing Traits in a Matriculation ESL classroom
Authors: GURUSAMY Premaraj , Sathappan Ramesh
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the use of the 6+1 Writing Traits approach in improving teaching and learning of writing in a Matriculation ESL classroom. This is due to the fact writing instruction has become a field of increasing interest at higher learning institutions and at pre- university levels in recent years. As a result of this interest, there have been many innovations to the teaching of writing in the evolution of language teaching and these have led to several significant shifts on how writing is taught in the ESL classrooms. The 6+1 writing traits is one such innovation. Writing traits such as Ideas, Organization, Convention, Sentence Fluency, Word Choice and Voice are important in any writing attempted by learners. Therefore, it is vital that Matriculation learners are exposed to the 6+1 writing traits in order to be able to produce a comprehensive essay that meets the requirements of the Malaysian University English Test examination. This proposed research will be a qualitative research. Pre-test, lessons plans, classroom observations, questionnaire and post-test will be used to elicit data in support of this research. Learners will learn to review peer essays thus enhancing their writing proficiency. This research will also look into the challenges faced by learners and lecturers in the course of implementing the 6+1 writing traits in the classroom.
Similarity Solutions of the Surface Waves Equation in (2+1) Dimensions and Bifurcation
Authors: Abdel-Gawad Hamdy I. , Belic M. R.
Published: November 2022

The equation of the surface waves in deep water, given here by (1), is extended to (2+1) dimensions, which is a novel equation.. It is shown that the surface waves equation is self- free source. So, it has a class of infinite solutions. Here many types of self-similar and semi-self similar solutions are obtained. The self-similar waves show various geometric structures. Among them, wave crest in the form of coupled lumps and soliton wave moving along the characteristic curve in the plane. It is entrained by troughs with cavities. The semi-self similar waves exhibit multi lumps or periodic waves with troughs and multi-periodic waves. The study of bifurcation shows that the trajectories are open, so that the traveling wave solutions are unstable. The time-dependent steepness-function is defined here and it is found that it attains a maximum value and then it decreases with time. The results found are interesting in ocean engineering and sciences. The extended unified method is used, here, to find the exact solutions, which was proposed recently.
The Economic Impact of the Logistics Industry in South Korea: Based on an Input-Output Approach
Authors: Kim Tae-Jin , Tromp Nikolas
Published: November 2022

Using input-output analysis, this study investigates the economic impact of the logistics industry and its four sub-sectors: land freight, water freight, air freight and logistics facilities. The inter-industry linkage model shows that land freight and logistics facilities have large pull effects on the economy. Estimates from the production-inducing model indicate that investments in the logistics industry have considerable effects on both upstream and downstream industries. The employment-inducing model suggests that although employment-inducing effects have fallen over time, total induced employment has risen, particularly for permanent jobs. Lastly, estimates from the supply-shortage model indicate large effects for land freight which highlights the need for greater diversity in transportation modes. The findings and their implications may be useful to formulate effective policies in Korea.

The use of green roofs is demonstrated to improve the energy performance of buildings, increase biodiversity, reduce environmental impacts of urban areas, and mitigate climate change phenomena. Their use on a large scale is desirable in the coming years. Still, the choice of the most suitable green roof design solution should also consider the impacts of their production. Within this study, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology was used to evaluate the environmental impact of a particular typology of soil-less green roofs ideated by an Italian company. In this lightweight green roof, the growing medium is replaced by recycled felt layers, filtration is guaranteed by geotextile, and a closed-loop sub-irrigation system fertilises the pre-growth lawn placed on the top. The extremely low weight of this system suggests an optimal use in building retrofitting scenarios, but its environmental implication was not known. The environmental impact of this product has been assessed with an attributional cradle-to-gate approach through four different methodologies (ReCiPe midpoint and endpoint H V1.1, Ecological footprint V1.01, and IPCC 2013 GWP 100y V1.0) using the ecoinvent v3, Agri-footprint 1.0, and ELCD database on theSimaPro 8.4.4.0software. The IPCC method has shown a Global Warming Potential of 7.66 kg of CO2 eq. for 1 m2of Pratotetto® green roof; however, the reuse of waste materials from the textile industry must be considered.
