Published: June 2020

Background:

Modified bio-based adsorbents from plant sources can be used for
pollution remediation by adsorption due to their low cost and availability in large quantities.

Objective:

In this study, the competitive biosorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) by Micropogonias
undulates functionalised fish scales (FFS) was conducted. The functionalisation was done by
wet impregnation with Fe2+.

Method:

The biosorbent was characterised by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy
(FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEMEDS)
and Branueur-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses.

Results:

The major constituents in the FFS were calcium and phosphorus from the collagen
and apatite on the scales. Optimum removal efficiency for both metals was >99% at 10 g/l
dosage. It was observed that the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo second order kinetics
model were the best fit for the experimental data. The monolayer adsorption capacity
of FFS for Pb(II) and Cu(II) was observed to be 96.15 mg/g and 100 mg/g, respectively.

Conclusion:

The study revealed that the competitive biosorption of heavy metals can be
achieved (at a good adsorption capacity) using functionalised Micropogonias undulates fish
scales.

Published: June 2020

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the Korean version of profile of hearing aid benefit-quick version (K-PHAB-Q) which shortens 20 questions of K-PHAB into 10 for efficient evaluation of hearing aids benefit. Methods: First, responses for the questionnaires were collected from 140 hearing aid users (average age: 67.39). K-PHAB-Q consists of ease of communication (EC), background noise (BN), reverberation (RV), aversiveness of sounds (AV) and localization (LC), and was verified through factor analysis, principal component analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha analysis for a total of 10 selected items. Second, the K-PHAB-Q questionnaire was collected by test-retesting for a total of 40 hearing aid users (average age: 71.98). The collected questionnaires were verified by paired t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient, and the 95% prediction interval (PI) was calculated to establish the standard of change in subjective satisfaction on hearing aid users. Results: The results of this study were 1) according to Cronbach’s alpha analysis of K-PHAB-Q, the internal consistency of all items was high as 0.854, 2) test-retest result of K-PHAB-Q showed no significant difference (r > 0.05) and showed high correlation in all items, 3) The 95% PI of EC, BN, RV, AV, and LC showed ± 16.823, ± 17.734, ± 12.123, ± 14.404, and ± 8.193 respectively. Conclusion: K-PHAB-Q, will be useful for hearing aid verification or validation at hearing aid fitting management sites in a short time.

Authors: Oh Hongyeop , Choi Soon-Je , Jin In-Ki
Published: June 2020

Purpose: This study aimed to derive band-importance functions (BIFs) and transfer functions (TFs) according to contextual predictability clues to determine the influence of contextual predictability clues in Korean speech material on the speech intelligibility index (SII). Methods: This study was conducted on 156 native speakers of Korean who had normal hearing. Korean speech perception in noise test material, which was composed of 120 high-predictability and 120 low-predictability sentences, was used for stimuli. To obtain intelligibility data, participants were tested for intelligibility in various frequency ranges and signal-to-noise ratio conditions. In order to derive the BIF and the TF, a nonlinear optimization procedure using MATLAB (MathWorks, Inc.) was used. Results: The BIF derived from the high-predictability sentences showed a peak in areas of 700 Hz (7.0%), 1,850 Hz (8.5%), and 4,800 Hz (7.6%). The crossover frequency for the high-predictability sentences was around 1,370 Hz. The BIF derived from the low-predictability sentences showed a peak in areas of 570 Hz (7.5%), 1,850 Hz (9.3%), and 4,000 Hz (8.0%). The crossover frequency for the low-predictability sentences was around 1,600 Hz. In the case of the TF, the TF curves derived from high-predictability sentences were steeper than those derived from low-predictability sentences.Conclusion: In the SII model, speech intelligibility differs according to contextual predictability clues. Especially, the more contextual predictability clues at the identical audibility, the higher the intelligibility predicted by the SII. Therefore, accurate speech intelligibility prediction requires the use of SII considering the contextual predictability clues that are characteristic of the stimulus.
Analysis of Equivalence and Reliability of Korean Translated Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefits
Authors: Kim Taehwa , Kim Jinsook
Published: June 2020

For using the translated questionnaires, an appropriate translation should be accomplished for establishing the equivalence. The equivalence is divided into two categories, formal equivalence regarding words and grammar and dynamic equivalence meaning the naturalness of the context with the consideration of the cultural and emotional characteristics of the region. The purpose of this study was to verify formal and dynamic equivalences and statistical reliability of the widely used translated questionnaire in Korea, abbreviated profile of hearing aid benefits (APHAB). The identification of equivalence was conducted in formal and dynamic categories and the statistical verification was performed for 6 translated APHAB which are currently utilized in Korea. None of 6 translated APHAB had formal and dynamic equivalences for all 24 items when the score ‘2’ was given to the completed equivalence of each item. Two translated APHAB showed ‘11’ as the best score and one of them showed ‘0’ for the formal equivalence identification. For the dynamic equivalence, the two translated APHAB scored ‘20’ as the best score. The one scored ‘0’ for the formal equivalence showed ‘0’ also in the dynamic equivalence. And only two translated APHAB presented the statistical validation using Cronbach’s alpha and factor analysis. It was confirmed that any of 6 translated APHAB in Korea could not reproduce the original contents with the appropriate equivalence and statistical validation. As the translated version was found to have a limitation in delivering the original contents due to language, emotional and cultural differences, a Korean questionnaire should be developed.

Low-temperature infrared luminescence and high-resolution absorption spectra of undoped high-quality SiC single crystals of hexagonal modifications 4H and 6H were investigated. Narrow lines with widths less than 0.2 cm^(-1) were detected, several of which were observed for the first time. It was found that some of the lines in the 4H and 6H modifications have a similar structure, however, the lines in SiC-4H are shifted to the high-energy part of the spectrum by ~ 180 cm^(-1). For the most intense quartet in the region of 1.3 μm, the energy scheme of the levels for both 4H and 6H modifications were constructed.

Authors: Смолович А.М.
Published: June 2020

The mechanism of wavefront reconstruction by a geometric-optical reflection of reconstructing light from surfaces with constant phase differences between the object and reference waves used to record the interference fringe structure in the medium bulk is analyzed. This mechanism is compared with the holographic one. Experiments in volume medium and in planar optical waveguide were carried out. Several types of achromatic optical elements are proposed. The optoacoustic focusing element, which can create a great local stress in a special shaped area inside the matter, is discussed. The possibility of the ultrashort pulse temporal reconstruction is demonstrated.

Published: June 2020

Dynamics of the photoinduced absorption and holographic-grating recording in photorefractive bismuth silicate crystal has been studied. It has been shown that, with the use of nanosecond laser pulses and at the intensity above 1 МW/cm2, the induced absorption takes place due to population of the short-lived trapping levels having the characteristic relaxation times from milliseconds to a few tens of milliseconds. Recording of dynamic holograms in bismuth silicate has been realized in these conditions. Two mechanisms of holographic grating recording have been established, with the lifetimes differing by three orders of magnitude. Though the intensities are relatively low, below or on the order of 1 MW/cm2, the medium response is determined by a photorefractive nonlinearity mechanism with relaxation times at a level of several seconds. The intensities above 5 MW/cm2 are associated with fast components (ms relaxation times) appearing due to population of short-lived traps. It has been demonstrated that a contribution of each mechanism is dependent on the intensity of laser radiation and that, for the intensities above 10-15 MW/cm2, the decisive part is played by the short-lived traps with lifetimes on the order of milliseconds.

The regularities of photo- and thermoluminescence processes in submicrosized AlN crystals with cationic deficiency after UV excitation are studied. The observed emission spectra are a superposition of Gaussian bands with maxima at 3.0 and 2.5 eV. The indicated spectral features are due to electronic transitions involving ON impurity and (VAl –ON) oxygen-vacancy complexes. According to a quantitative analysis in the framework of the general order kinetics, carrier capture centers based on VN nitrogen vacancies have an activation energy of 0.45 eV and are responsible for the forming of the thermally stimulated luminescence with maximum at a temperature of 345 K.
Анализ влияния нелокальности на характеристики ближнего поля слоистой частицы на подложке
Authors: Еремин Ю.А.
Published: June 2020

The problem of electromagnetic plane wave scattering by a layered nanoparticle with a metal plasmon shell deposited on the surface of a transparent substrate is considered. Using the Discrete Source Method, the influence of spatial nonlocality in a metal layer on the near-field intensity and absorption cross section is investigated. The particle excitation by both a propagating and evanescent wave are considered. It is shown that the substrate has a more significant effect on the optical characteristics of the near field than on the intensity in the far zone. It was found that taking into account the nonlocal effect in the metal leads to a significant decrease in the plasmon resonance amplitude with a small blue shift.
Apps With Maps—Anxiety and Depression Mobile Apps With Evidence-Based Frameworks: Systematic Search of Major App Stores (Preprint)
Authors: Marshall Jamie M , Dunstan Debra A , Bartik Warren
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Mobile mental health apps have become ubiquitous tools to assist people in managing symptoms of anxiety and depression. However, due to the lack of research and expert input that has accompanied the development of most apps, concerns have been raised by clinicians, researchers, and government authorities about their efficacy.

OBJECTIVE

This review aimed to estimate the proportion of mental health apps offering comprehensive therapeutic treatments for anxiety and/or depression available in the app stores that have been developed using evidence-based frameworks. It also aimed to estimate the proportions of specific frameworks being used in an effort to understand which frameworks are having the most influence on app developers in this area.

METHODS

A systematic review of the Apple App Store and Google Play store was performed to identify apps offering comprehensive therapeutic interventions that targeted anxiety and/or depression. The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) checklist was adapted to guide this approach.

RESULTS

Of the 293 apps shortlisted as offering a therapeutic treatment for anxiety and/or depression, 162 (55.3%) mentioned an evidence-based framework in their app store descriptions. Of the 293 apps, 88 (30.0%) claimed to use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, 46 (15.7%) claimed to use mindfulness, 27 (9.2%) claimed to use positive psychology, 10 (3.4%) claimed to use dialectical behavior therapy, 5 (1.7%) claimed to use acceptance and commitment therapy, and 20 (6.8%) claimed to use other techniques. Of the 162 apps that claimed to use a theoretical framework, only 10 (6.2%) had published evidence for their efficacy.

CONCLUSIONS

The current proportion of apps developed using evidence-based frameworks is unacceptably low, and those without tested frameworks may be ineffective, or worse, pose a risk of harm to users. Future research should establish what other factors work in conjunction with evidence-based frameworks to produce efficacious mental health apps.
Examining Social Capital, Social Support, and Language Use in an Online Depression Forum: Social Network and Content Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Pan Wenjing , Feng Bo , Shen Cuihua
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

The use of peer-to-peer online support groups and communities has grown into a social phenomenon. Many people use online support groups and communities to seek and provide social support. It is essential to examine how users’ participation behaviors may contribute to different outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to (1) use the structural positions of online depression forum users in their reply network to predict received support and (2) examine their language use reflecting their health conditions.

METHODS

A total of 2061 users and their 62,274 replies posted on a depression forum from July 2004 to July 2014 were extracted using a web crawler written in Python. The content of the forum users’ posts and replies and their reply patterns were examined. A social network analysis method was used to build the reply networks of users. The computerized text analysis method was used to measure features of the forum users’ language styles.

RESULTS

Forum users’ bridging social capital (operationalized as network betweenness) was positively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P=.04). Forum users’ bonding social capital (operationalized as network constraint) was negatively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P<.001). The forum users’ change in their use of self-referent words and words expressing negative emotions were examined as linguistic proxies for their health conditions and mental states. The results revealed a general negative association between the number of received replies and the degree of decrease in the use of words expressing negative emotion (P=.007).

CONCLUSIONS

The structural positions of online depression forum users in the reply network are associated with different participation outcomes in the users. Thus, receiving replies can be beneficial to online depression forum users.
User Perceptions and Experiences of an Interactive Voice Response Mobile Phone Survey Pilot in Uganda: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Tweheyo Raymond , Selig Hannah , Gibson Dustin G , Pariyo George William , Rutebemberwa Elizeus
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

With the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases in low- and middle- income countries, the World Health Organization recommended a stepwise approach of surveillance for noncommunicable diseases. This is expensive to conduct on a frequent basis and using interactive voice response mobile phone surveys has been put forth as an alternative. However, there is limited evidence on how to design and deliver interactive voice response calls that are robust and acceptable to respondents.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to explore user perceptions and experiences of receiving and responding to an interactive voice response call in Uganda in order to adapt and refine the instrument prior to national deployment.

METHODS

A qualitative study design was used and comprised a locally translated audiorecorded interactive voice response survey delivered in 4 languages to 59 purposively selected participants' mobile phones in 5 survey rounds guided by data saturation. The interactive voice response survey had modules on sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, fruit and vegetable consumption, diabetes, and hypertension. After the interactive voice response survey, study staff called participants back and used a semistructured interview to collect information on the participant’s perceptions of interactive voice response call audibility, instruction clarity, interview pace, language courtesy and appropriateness, the validity of questions, and the lottery incentive. Descriptive statistics were used for the interactive voice response survey, while a framework analysis was used to analyze qualitative data.

RESULTS

Key findings that favored interactive voice response survey participation or completion included preference for brief surveys of 10 minutes or shorter, preference for evening calls between 6 PM and 10 PM, preference for courteous language, and favorable perceptions of the lottery-type incentive. While key findings curtailing participation were suspicion about the caller’s identity, unclear voice, confusing skip patterns, difficulty with the phone interface such as for selecting inappropriate digits for both ordinary and smartphones, and poor network connectivity for remote and rural participants.

CONCLUSIONS

Interactive voice response surveys should be as brief as possible and considerate of local preferences to increase completion rates. Caller credibility needs to be enhanced through either masking the caller or prior community mobilization. There is need to evaluate the preferred timing of interactive voice response calls, as the finding of evening call preference is inconclusive and might be contextual.
Chatbot-Based Assessment of Employees’ Mental Health: Design Process and Pilot Implementation (Preprint)
Authors: Hungerbuehler Ines , Daley Kate , Cavanagh Kate , Garcia Claro Heloísa , Kapps Michael
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

Stress, burnout, and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety are common, and can significantly impact workplaces through absenteeism and reduced productivity. To address this issue, organizations must first understand the extent of the difficulties by mapping the mental health of their workforce. Online surveys are a cost-effective and scalable approach to achieve this but typically have low response rates, in part due to a lack of interactivity. Chatbots offer one potential solution, enhancing engagement through simulated natural human conversation and use of interactive features.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to explore if a text-based chatbot is a feasible approach to engage and motivate employees to complete a workplace mental health assessment. This paper describes the design process and results of a pilot implementation.

METHODS

A fully automated chatbot (“Viki”) was developed to evaluate employee risks of suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, burnout, and work-related stress. Viki uses a conversation style and gamification features to enhance engagement. A cross-sectional analysis was performed to gain first insights of a pilot implementation within a small to medium–sized enterprise (120 employees).

RESULTS

The response rate was 64.2% (77/120). In total, 98 employees started the assessment, 77 of whom (79%) completed it. The majority of participants scored in the mild range for anxiety (20/40, 50%) and depression (16/28, 57%), in the moderate range for stress (10/22, 46%), and at the subthreshold level for insomnia (14/20, 70%) as defined by their questionnaire scores.

CONCLUSIONS

A chatbot-based workplace mental health assessment seems to be a highly engaging and effective way to collect anonymized mental health data among employees with response rates comparable to those of face-to-face interviews.
Predictors of Health Information–Seeking Behavior: Systematic Literature Review and Network Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Mirzaei Ardalan , Aslani Parisa , Luca Edward Joseph , Schneider Carl Richard
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

People engage in health information–seeking behavior to support health outcomes, and being able to predict such behavior can inform the development of interventions to guide effective health information seeking. Obtaining a comprehensive list of the predictors of health information–seeking behavior through a systematic search of the literature and exploring the interrelationship of these predictors are critical first steps in this process.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify significant predictors of health information–seeking behavior in the primary literature, develop a common taxonomy for these predictors, and identify the evolution of the concerned research field.

METHODS

A systematic search of PsycINFO, Scopus, and PubMed was conducted for all years up to and including December 10, 2019. Quantitative studies identifying significant predictors of health information–seeking behavior were included. Information seeking was broadly defined and not restricted to any source of health information. Data extraction of significant predictors was performed by 2 authors, and network analysis was conducted to observe the relationships between predictors with time.

RESULTS

A total of 9549 articles were retrieved, and after the screening, 344 studies were retained for analysis. A total of 1595 significant predictors were identified. These predictors were categorized into 67 predictor categories, with the most central predictors being age, education, gender, health condition, and financial income. With time, the interrelationship of predictors in the network became denser, with the growth of new predictor grouping reaching saturation (1 new predictor identified) in the past 7 years, despite increasing publication rates.

CONCLUSIONS

A common taxonomy was developed to classify 67 significant predictors of health information–seeking behavior. A time-aggregated network method was developed to track the evolution of the research field, showing the maturation of new predictor terms and an increase in primary studies reporting multiple significant predictors of health information–seeking behavior. The literature has evolved with a decreased characterization of novel predictors of health information–seeking behavior. In contrast, we identified a parallel increase in the complexity of predicting health information–seeking behavior, with an increase in the literature describing multiple significant predictors.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, community care facilities (CCF) were set up as temporary out-of-hospital isolation facilities to contain the surge of cases in Singapore. Confined living spaces within CCFs posed an increased risk of communicable disease spread among residents.

OBJECTIVE

This inspired our healthcare team managing a CCF operation to design a low-cost communicable disease outbreak surveillance system (CDOSS).

METHODS

Our CDOSS was designed with the following considerations: (1) comprehensiveness, (2) efficiency through passive reconnoitering from electronic medical record (EMR) data, (3) ability to provide spatiotemporal insights, (4) low-cost and (5) ease of use. We used Python to develop a lightweight application – Python-based Communicable Disease Outbreak Surveillance System (PyDOSS) – that was able perform syndromic surveillance and fever monitoring. With minimal user actions, its data pipeline would generate daily control charts and geospatial heat maps of cases from raw EMR data and logged vital signs. PyDOSS was successfully implemented as part of our CCF workflow. We also simulated a gastroenteritis (GE) outbreak to test the effectiveness of the system.

RESULTS

PyDOSS was used throughout the entire duration of operation; the output was reviewed daily by senior management. No disease outbreaks were identified during our medical operation. In the simulated GE outbreak, PyDOSS was able to effectively detect an outbreak within 24 hours and provided information about cluster progression which could aid in contact tracing. The code for a stock version of PyDOSS has been made publicly available.

CONCLUSIONS

PyDOSS is an effective surveillance system which was successfully implemented in a real-life medical operation. With the system developed using open-source technology and the code made freely available, it significantly reduces the cost of developing and operating CDOSS and may be useful for similar temporary medical operations, or in resource-limited settings.

Sembulang is located in a strategic maritime location and supports the majority of the local population to work as fishermen. In addition, Sembulang is also directly adjacent to the waters of Mubut Island which is one of the favorite tourist attractions in Batam and also to the waters leading to Bintan and Tanjungpinang, making it a popular port for people in that location. However, until now there has not been an official sea map or cruise line map for traditional fishing boats / local transportation to support economic and tourism activities there. The flow of a cruise is very closely related to the depth of a waters. Water depth data can be used by fishermen and boat captains as a reference when they are sailing across Sembulang Beach. The purpose of this study was to analyze the bathymetry conditions in Sembulang Beach, Galang, which were used as a reference for safe and efficient ship grooves considerations. Bathymetry mapping is done by using multibeam echosounder to create a seafloor topographic map at the research location which is then analyzed based on the depth and width of the cruise line which is ideal for the specifications of traditional fishing vessels. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that only ships with size <5 GT with the form of "V" Pump Boat, "V", "V" High Bow, "V" Katir, "V" Without Katir, "U" Katir and 5 GTs with safe "U" and "V" shapes to be anchored at Sembulang pier. In other words, traditional fishing boats with a size of GT 10 GT are not recommended to dock at the pier.

The recent advances of remote sensing technology development can support government needs including cadastral related purposes. One of the purposes is to supply geospatial data especially land parcel maps for land and tax value inventory. This research tries to evaluate the utilization of Quickbird Satellite image for updating land and building (PBB-P2) block maps in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province of Indonesia. The image was recorded in 2014 with resolution of 0.6 meter and has been ortho-rectified. Evaluation is conducted by analyzing the utilization of the image as the base map for deriving land parcel maps according to the Decree of Tax Director General number: KEP-533/PJ/2000. The process was firstly done by digitizing land parcel boundaries on Quickbird image to produce block maps. The process was done by the community through participatory mapping. The resulting block maps then were compared with land registration map from National Land Agency. The evaluation was focused on the accuracy of land parcel position as well as the resulting land areas. For this purpose the land registration map is regarded as the reference data. By focusing on the 51 sample data in Triharjo Village, statistical test was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the resulting areas of the digitized land parcel map. The results show that 47 samples comply with a tolerance requirement of 10% according to the Decree of Tax Directorate number KEP-533/PJ/2000’. In addition, the t-test analysis with a significant level of 5% indicates that there is no significant difference of area between the digitized land parcel data with land registration map. Based on the results, it is concluded that ortho-rectified QuickBird image is sufficient for producing of land and building tax (PBB-P2) block maps.

Authors: Abou-Zeid Nader , El-Mousawi Prof. Hasan , Younis Dr. Joumana
Published: June 2020

Forensic accounting is one of the modern domains of accounting that incorporates special knowledge and a group of skills that are utilized to fight financial corruption and creative accounting, support legal action against such practices and tackle the resulting consequences. The research at hand investigates fundamental perceptions of forensic accounting and discusses methods that forensic accounting uses to detect and curb creative accounting. It also emphasizes the concept of creative accounting, discusses its types and outcomes, and illustrates the techniques of forensic accounting that are used to fight it. A well-structured, five-point Likert style questionnaire was constructed and distributed among a sample of 350 CPAs from the total population of Certified Public Accountants in Mount Lebanon and Beirut Governorates. The researchers used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to make various statistical tests to analyze the outputs. The research yielded some important findings, mainly that both the integrated and the dimensional audit approaches, which are two forensic accounting methods, lead to curbing creative accounting practices.

Identidades que importan. Trans e intersex, la ley argentina y la irrupción de la ciencia
Authors: Córdoba Mariana
Published: June 2020

Como resultado de las luchas de las disidencias sexogenéricas se han aprobado leyes en todo el mundo que garantizan el reconocimiento de las identidades generizadas. La Ley de Identidad de Género argentina (2012) ofrece una definición de “identidad de género” opuesta a los enfoques biológicos y a la patologización y que respeta la voluntad individual y niega todo lugar a los refrendos de terceros “autorizados”. Esta ley regula el acceso a prácticas médicas para intervenir libremente los cuerpos. Ahora bien, los principios científicos del dimorfismo sexual sobre los cuales descansan esos procedimientos suelen denunciarse por reprimir, normativizar y patologizar en especial los cuerpos intersex. Analizaré la cuestión de las identidades de género a la luz de esta tensión; por último, argumentaré que la identidad es transformativa, relacional y biotecnológicamente producida.
Foucault y la arqueología de la política. Tras las huellas de un método inconcluso
Authors: Méndez Pablo Martín
Published: June 2020

Este artículo busca reconstruir los principios metodológicos de la “arqueología de la política” que Foucault introduce hacia el final de L’archéologie du savoir aunque nunca desarrolla de manera explícita. La exposición se organiza en tres ejes. En primer lugar, explora los puntos de cruce y las posibles diferencias entre la arqueología del saber y la arqueología de la política. En segundo lugar, examina el lugar que podrían ocupar los “programas” y las “racionalidades de gobierno” en la arqueología de la política. Por último, propone a la razón de Estado, el liberalismo y el neoliberalismo como posibles campos de investigación para el desarrollo de esa arqueología. Con ello se pretende obtener una “grilla de inteligibilidad” cuyo punto de partida no sean las categorías universales habitualmente utilizadas por el análisis jurídico-político procedente de los siglos XVI y XVII, sino las prácticas de los gobernantes y los gobernados.

Authors: Maslak Tanya , Henry Kia , Sadoff Natasha , Jones David Maurice , Glasser Joshua , Leibrand Amy
Published: June 2020

The Mission Mosquito Information Sharing Program (ISP), a collaboration between the U.S. Department of State and Battelle Memorial Institute, is a public diplomacy effort to build and expand an international network of health communicators to increase engagement on mosquito-borne disease. Nineteen professionals from countries experiencing mosquito-borne diseases engaged in a two-week multi-directional information exchange across the United States in May 2018. Program alumni applied knowledge and tools from the ISP in follow-on projects and public outreach campaigns in their home countries. This paper summarizes the ISP and lessons learned, and highlights a science communication case study examining skills and understanding gained.
Modelo de desarrollo en Pueblo Rico Risaralda: ¿una perspectiva tradicional o alternativa del desarrollo?
Authors: Castaño Wazorna Luis Eduardo
Published: June 2020

Pueblo Rico, Risaralda, constituye en la actualidad dos escenarios complejos para su realidad interna: el primero tiene que ver con su inserción a las dinámicas globales del desarrollo, proceso al cual ha buscado integrarse desde los últimos años; mientras que el segundo escenario está determinado por las acciones institucionales adoptadas localmente para enfrentar problemáticas históricas asociadas a la pobreza, la desigualdad o una economía incipiente, aspectos que configuran al territorio en una compleja red de relaciones sociales, políticas, económicas y culturales. Bajo estas dos premisas, se analiza el papel que han jugado los planes de desarrollo municipales durante 2005-2015 en cuanto a la implementación de un modelo o modelos de desarrollo que posiblemente pretendan resolver las cuestiones ya mencionadas. Se interpreta además cómo las características del desarrollo en Pueblo Rico, que se evidencian en dichos planes, se pueden acomodar ya sea bajo una vertiente alternativa, o bien, en el marco de una vertiente tradicional del desarrollo; donde una elección u otra es indispensable para comprender más de cerca los problemas estructurales presentes en la entidad territorial estudiada.

Authors: Ortiz Toro Raúl
Published: June 2020

Los textos transcritos corresponden a dos representaciones de los vecinos de la población de Santuario (Risaralda) en el año 1892 ante la máxima autoridad eclesiástica, el obispo de Popayán Juan Buenaventura Ortiz, con el objetivo de solicitar la bendición de la iglesia y el altar mayor. La población de Santuario perteneció, en cuanto al gobierno eclesiástico, a la Diócesis de Popayán desde su fundación en 1886 hasta el 11 de abril de 1900 cuando se creó la Diócesis de Manizales.
Larry V. Larrichio. La construcción multicultural de una economía colonial: Cambio demográfico y organización del trabajo en el Valle medio del Cauca siglo XVIII. Pereira: Editorial Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, 2018
Authors: López García Edwin Mauricio
Published: June 2020

El trabajo del profesor Larry Larrichio se constituye en una ventana que permite explorar un periodo histórico de la colonia, que a nivel regional no ha sido revisado a mayor profundidad, pues los historiadores profesionales o académicos del Centro Occidente Colombiano, han tenido en la mira otras etapas históricas, que mayoritariamente se han decantado por estudiar el origen del proceso de subyugación y dominio de los españoles sobre los grupos indígenas conocido como “La Conquista” y, el  proceso de poblamiento y fundación de localidades ocurrido desde inicios del siglo XIX hasta principios del XX, el cual se ha denominado como “Colonización Antioqueña”. De esta forma, esta obra entrelaza y sirve como puente entre la conquista española y la colonización antioqueña, puntos focales que dentro de la historiografía regional han sido los dos procesos sociales del pasado, sobre los cuales se ha construido una visión histórica regional que revela la preocupación por entender dos momentos originarios y fundacionales del Centro Occidente colombiano, pero que se ha desentendido por obtener una comprensión diacrónica del pasado.

Consumption of coffee in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia (CCLC): the "bad consumer" and the rise of specialty coffee
Authors: Doga Melina
Published: June 2020

Drawing from the results of a three months anthropological fieldwork research in the area of the Eje Cafetero, this article aims to dive into the question of local coffee consumption patterns in the Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia. The main object is to reflect on strategies of consumption in a patrimonial context by examining different discourses, ranging from the average “bad coffee consumer” to the slow rise of the chain of cafés especiales. Furthermore, the present article aims to offer a comprehensive analysis on how the structure of the coffee chain impacts consumption patterns, including a reflection on the benefits and limits of the development of specialty coffee.
Acerca del oficio del historiador o de un diálogo y examen sobre su práctica
Authors: Acevedo Tarazona Álvaro , Vélez Restrepo Sebastián
Published: June 2020

A manera de un diálogo historiográfico se superponen y contrastan un conjunto de reflexiones sobre el oficio del historiador. Una práctica que tiene como telón de fondo un permanente diálogo con la investigación. Para ello se traen a discusión reflexiones disciplinarias e implicaciones acerca del uso y análisis de las fuentes para la historia, de la historiografía como representación y del conocimiento de lo histórico. En particular, se espera que este diálogo enriquezca las prácticas del oficio y las propias reflexiones sobre la disciplina.

Algunas refutaciones a las tergiversaciones del comunismo
Authors: García Parra Aldo Fernando
Published: June 2020

En este artículo se cuestionan “estudios eruditos” sobre la experiencia histórica del socialismo en los que predominan la falta de rigor, las tergiversaciones y las calumnias históricas hacia el comunismo, como características centrales. En estas líneas a la par que se refutan algunas distorsiones sobre la Revolución Cultural china, se busca aclarar el proceso histórico de la Revolución Cultural. Se expondrá una crítica a la teoría del totalitarismo que es la base analítica de la demonización comunista. El método de exposición será a partir de ejemplos de “estudios eruditos” que ilustran claramente las tergiversaciones. Tales tergiversaciones serán refutadas por la crítica histórica y por la aclaración del proceso histórico.

White Flight in Finland? A Qualitative Study into Finnish-born Families Housing and School Choices in Turku,
Authors: Komulainen Sirkka
Published: June 2020

White flight refers to a phenomenon whereby native middle class residents avoidor move away from areas with immigrant concentrations thereby contributing toethnic and residential segregation. The recent increase in immigration into Finlandhas spurred public debates suggesting that white flight - in connection with schoolchoices - might also be happening in Finland. In this article, the phenomenon isscrutinized and unravelled conceptually. The discussion draws on a recent qualitativestudy undertaken in Turku. The study involved 31 in-depth interviews with nativeFinnish parents of primary- and preschool aged children. The results indicate thatneither the schools nor immigration determined families housing decisions that were,ultimately, multifaceted and situated within specific life courses and circumstances.Mainly thematic but also discourse and life course analysis methods were employedto tease out nuances around talk and action, also helping to further understand thedynamics of attitudes in this context.
