Authors: Sahoo Saroj Kumar , Cagáňová Dagmar , Pattnaik Laxmikant , Sahu Valavadra , Sahoo Sandhyarani
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The main purpose of this research work is to find the scope of enhancing the teachers’ work-efficiency through the logical linkages of emotional exhaustion, attitude, knowledge management (KM), and community-engagement.
 
Methods: With a qualitative research approach, i.e.: Total Interpretive Structural Modeling (TISM), this study tried to explore the intricate relationships between the aforesaid components in Indian context. With the overview of community engagement having its significant importance in educational settings, research problem is defined, which guided for extensive literature review, the core part of TISM. The study utilizes fundaments of ISM along with the contextual relationships to reach the hierarchical model of TISM to visually represent the relationships between the identified factors, reflecting their driving power and dependency power.
 
Results & discussions: This study established the complete interpretations of the linkages among variables through developed model of TISM. Further, this research-work shows how the identified factors collectively contribute to teachers’ overall work-efficiency, where online customer-engagement and offline customer-engagement forms the context for the attitude and KM, and emotional exhaustion that are in turn leads to work-efficiency of teachers.
 
Implications of the study: This study highlights the scopes for comprehensive strategies to enhance work-efficiency of teachers through fostering positive attitudes and effective KM on the ground of community engagement, where emotional exhaustion is managed adequately.

Authors: Jaya Irhas , Harahap R. Hamdani , Simatupang Irfan , Ginting Bengkel
Published: May 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate how sustainable management of Gayo coffee is managed by farmers in Rikit Musara Village.
 
Method: This study applied a case study design to investigate the management of Gayo coffee cultivation in Rikit Musara Village, Aceh. The research focused on management, challenges faced, and opportunities for improvement. Data was collected by interviewing several informants who directly influenced Gayo coffee cultivation. Documentation on cooperative relations between related institutions is also carried out to see how related parties work together to cultivate Gayo Coffee.
 
Results and Discussion: The management of Gayo coffee cultivation in this village has yet to be effective. Several problems were found in the failure to carry out institutional tasks properly, inadequate farmer resources, inadequate government budget allocations, and misaligned visions between farmers and the Department of Agriculture.  Institutions that have been formed in different domains already exist. However, management between parties related to Gayo Coffee cultivation, namely farmer institutions, Gayo Coffee farmers, and DPKBM, must still be well established.
 
Research Implications: There is a need for policy interventions to improve the management of Gayo coffee cultivation. This could include advocating for increased government budget allocations, better coordination between institutions, and the establishment of clearer institutional tasks.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by providing practical recommendations for improving the management of Gayo coffee cultivation in the village. These recommendations can inform policy interventions, capacity-building efforts, and partnership development strategies aimed at enhancing the sustainability of Gayo coffee cultivation in the village and similar contexts.

Authors: Mella Rogelio Suárez , Torres Osmel Chávez , Sánchez Leonardo Manuel Cuétara , Bacallao Julio Corzo , Cossío Neyfe Sablón , Ortiz Luis Enríquez Márquez
Published: May 2024

Purpose: The purpose of the research is aimed at characterizing the innovative behavior of a city hotel in Portoviejo based on the low level of technological innovation.
 
Theoretical Framework: Innovation transcends all organizations, the traditional interpretation of the concept related to patents and inventions has gone down in history. Today in the business world of high competitiveness and high uncertainty the maxim is: innovate or perish. What this work proposes is related to the management of innovation, but not in manufacturing, but in services, where the technological level also increases dramatically, and high qualifications and careful customer service are required. The applied model is based on the functions of Technology and Innovation Management (GTI), these are: technology inventory, technology enrichment, technology optimization, technological evaluation, and technology protection.
 
Method: The research is qualitative and quantitative with an exploratory and descriptive study with a non-experimental design and the Technology and Innovation management model is supported by the MINGI SOFWARE, which is based on the functions of the GTI and presents tools that characterize and evaluate the process. innovative. In this study, the analysis of business perspectives, the determination of the business model (Traditional or innovative), and the innovative culture of the Hotel are determined as innovative tools.
 
Results and Conclusion: As a result, an innovative characterization of the accommodation, restoration and recreation processes is obtained; concluding that the hotel follows traditional management practices, its business perspective is aimed at sales and not the market and its innovative culture is low, hence to achieve a sustainable service process it must establish an action plan that allows the breaking of the gaps to reach a higher stage with good innovation management practices.
 
Implications of the Research: The main contribution is in the application of the GTI characterizing tools in Ecuador and the projection necessary to increase the innovative intensity in the hotel activity.
 
Originality/Value: The work presents originality, since the model has not been applied in South America and can contribute to good socio-environmental management practices in the hotel business.
Perceived and Real Water Competency and Drowning Risk Among Adults
Authors: Stanley Teresa , Moran Kevin , Garbett Dawn , Ovens Alan
Published: May 2024

Traditionally, public understanding of drowning survival has focused on swimming capacity, often measured by how far a person can swim. With respect to the high incidence of adult drowning in high-income countries, using the more inclusive concept of water competency may yield a more comprehensive explanatory framework for understanding the reasons behind these drownings. Any competency base required to survive a drowning situation is dynamic, complex, and multi-faceted. Furthermore, perceptions of risk and capacity to cope with that risk are likely to be pivotal to the avoidance of drowning. Adults’ perceived water competence was measured against their actual water competence in a pool environment. Adults were tested on their competence in entering and exiting water, floating, and swimming. Despite most adults (98%) being unable to swim more than 100 m in open water, more than half (59%) perceived themselves as good swimmers, and more than quarter (27%) thought they could swim more than 200 m at the post-survey. In conclusion, reality gaps were found in water competence among adult groups. Differences between perceived and actual competence suggest that many adults may underestimate the risk of drowning and overestimate their competency. This provides a plausible explanation as to why many adults drown.
A Research Framework to Improve Evidence-Based Practice Surrounding the Resuscitation Response to Drowning in Surf Lifesaving Authors
Authors: Hooper Elissa , Scanlan Aaron , Baker Shayne , Fien Samantha
Published: May 2024

Surf lifesaving members are essential first responders who patrol public waterways, performing rescues and resuscitation to individuals in the community when needed. In this way, surf lifesaving members experience arduous physical requirements alongside extensive psychological stress during resuscitation. Surf Life Saving Queensland (SLSQ) represents the predominant, frontline lifesaving service in Queensland, Australia; however, little research has explored key aspects of drowning resuscitations involving this organisation, as well as in the broader lifesaving industry, limiting our current understanding on this vital topic. We sought to explore key aspects of drowning resuscitations within SLSQ and create a framework to generate evidence-based practice. In guiding future lines of inquiry addressing this deficiency, a six-step research framework has been proposed to aid in holistically understanding the resuscitation process from a surf lifesaving perspective. Evidence generated from applying this framework will create a much-needed knowledge base for surf lifesaving organisations to use in the development of practical, strategic, and effective decisions to enhance their practices and ultimately better prevent drowning fatalities.
Examining the Factor Structure of a Subjective Well-Being Measure in a Medical Student Sample
Authors: Do Hoan , Wurm-Schaar Mary , Brooks Gordon
Published: May 2024

Accreditation standards for U.S. medical education programming require that training programs promote trainee wellness and well-being, although constructs such as psychological distress and depression commonly serve as proxies for well-being. A direct measure of subjective well-being would be invaluable to inform programming efforts to promote medical trainees’ well-being and advance the study of the well-being construct itself. This study investigated the structural validity of subjective well-being as measured by the Well-Being Scale in a sample of 548 osteopathic medical students. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that subjective well-being is best represented by a bifactor model with a general subjective well-being factor and five well-being domain factors and that allowing items from two well-being domains to cross load brought significantly stronger model-data agreement. Some scale items were respecified to become pure indicators of the general well-being factor based on their patterns of factor loadings, and the final bifactor model brought an acceptable fit. To our knowledge, this study is among the initial research efforts to investigate the use of a holistic subjective well-being instrument in the medical student population. The use of a direct, multidimensional subjective well-being measure is foundational to medical education programs’ efforts to promote well-being, future investigations of predictors of medical students’ well-being, and longitudinal analyses of medical students’ well-being over their matriculation.

Breast cancer is the most widely recognized malignancy in women and is the second most common and important cause of cancer death in women. Currently, there is no e􀵵 ective approach to avoid breast cancer, as its motivation is not yet fully understood. The common problems of women in recent years are breast cancer. The problem of breast cancer classification has been the main problem in recent years. This article gives a reasonable idea of the readiness of the mammogram image to find out the area a􀵵 ected by cancer, which is a vital advance in breast cancer detection. Therefore, the research focuses on examining and analyzing the image processing of cancerous diseases, especially breast cancer. When detecting breast cancer, images are obtained from a mammogram and subjected to treatment. The artificial neural network (ANN) plays an important role in this regard, in particular in the application of biomedical image processing for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. It is actually detected by these steps. Preprocessing, image splitting, attribute extraction and categorization. An average vector filter is used to perform the preprocessing operation. Helps eliminate noise and turn RGB image into grayscale image. Vessel segmentation is used to segment the image. To perform entity extraction, the technique of the Binary Local Scale Model (MLBP) method is used and optimized using the Robust Propagation Neural Network Classifier (RBPNN). Using MLBP, 12 functional derivatives were extracted. The extraction is performed on the basis of color, texture and shape. It plays an important role in detection. Finally, for the classi􀂿 cation of the extracted function, RBPNN is performed and then analyzes the test data with the trained data. To prove its usefulness, it produces great precision compared to other current games. The accuracy of this suggested analysis is 97%.

Cancer affects an increasing number of people every year, affecting many families and representing a major problem for health systems in all countries. As chemotherapy is one of the most widely used therapeutic approaches, usually following surgical resection of the tumour mass, its adverse effects have made it necessary to find alternative, less toxic ways for treating cancer. These include nanoparticles, especially those containing Ag and/or Pt, some nonpathogenic, attenuated or genetically engineered bacteria can exhibit a destructive potential on tumors, especially when they carry antitumor genes or antineoplastic agents, cationic antimicrobial peptides, modified to mitigate their harmful effects, and immunotherapy, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

LITERATURA INDÍGENA E EDUCAÇÃO PARA AS RELAÇÕES ÉTNICO-RACIAIS
Authors: Rosa de Góes Eliane
Published: May 2024

Introdução: A Lei n. 11.645, de 10 março de 2008, preconiza a obrigatoriedade do ensino de história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena no ensino fundamental e médio, especialmente nas áreas de Educação Artística, Literatura e História, contudo, decorridos 15 anos da instauração dessa diretriz, não se pode negar a dificuldade que os diferentes níveis de ensino ainda têm em implementar essa proposta. A reflexão acerca da história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena, a despeito da área de atuação do professor, pode ajudar a problematizar questões de grandes implicações corporificadas na escola, como diversidade cultural, desigualdade social, preconceito e discriminação racial, de modo que práticas em sala de aula sejam ressignificadas e contribuam efetivamente para a consciência cidadã. Trabalhar a literatura indígena brasileira, por exemplo, significa analisar discursos hegemônicos acerca de nossa cultura e formação identitária e pensar sobre as relações etnorraciais no Brasil. Enquanto composição estética, a literatura indígena brasileira é construída a partir de multimodalidades discursivas, quer dizer, é feita da convergência de linguagens, como a escrita alfabética e a imagem, mas, sendo uma produção riquíssima, é pouco explorada e difundida porque prejulgamentos sobre o indígena e seu modo de vida interferem na circulação e recepção dos textos. A literatura indígena permite levantar a ideia de entrelugar, de autoria e de multimodalidade, além de conceitos sobre gêneros discursivos e variações linguísticas. Mais que isso, esse tema pode sensibilizar professores e alunos e instigar o respeito pelo outro e por suas diferenças.
Objetivo: Esse estudo tem se construído com vistas aos seguintes objetivos: definir literatura indígena brasileira; tratar dos aspectos que marcam essa produção; levantar autores e textos desse segmento literário; discutir o ensino da literatura indígena no contexto de uma educação para as relações étnico-raciais.
Método: Pesquisa bibliográfica.
Resultados (esperados/parciais): A escola ou a universidade são espaços propícios para transformação de mentalidades assentadas no preconceito, na estereotipação, na discriminação, daí a importância de uma formação intercultural, que considere as relações etnorraciais, tal como estabelece a Lei 11645/2008. Nesse sentido, essa pesquisa espera discutir literatura indígena brasileira e como o ensino dessa temática pode contribuir para uma formação que valorize a heterogeneidade e que concorra para a autoestima do aluno, para o desenvolvimento da solidariedade e para o modo como se pensa e sente o outro.
Descritores: Literatura indígena; ensino; relações etnorraciais.

The Russian Public Movement: program positions and place in the political spectrum of Russia (1994–1996)
Authors:   Omsk State Agrarian University named after P. A. Stolypin, Novikov S. V.
Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to the activities of the Russian Public Movement, the analysis of the provisions of its Program and the identification of a place in the political spectrum of both the West Siberian region and the Russian Federation as a whole. The analysis of the transformation program is carried out with full consideration of the political activities of the Russian Public Movement and related organizations, as well as their structural units in the election campaigns of the mid-1990s. Referring to various sources of information, such as archive collections, the public press, reference publications, scientific articles and analytical materials, the author of the work aims to analyze the programmatic provisions of the Russian Public Movement, restoring a complex picture of its participation in the political events of the second half of the 1990s, to identify its place in the changing picture of the political forces of the Russian Federation. The analysis allows us to conclude that the Russian Public Movement was the result of the dispersion of the electorate of the Congress of Russian Communities, between many insignificant parties and movements that were artificially brought to participate in the elections. The further activity of the movement was associated with the presidential elections of the Russian Federation in 1996. The political fate of the movement reflected the evolution of the views of the ruling elite on the formation of their political image against the background of the rejection of the liberal doctrine by the population.

Published: May 2024

Continuity of generations is a very serious issue for Harbin residents. Harbin residents have always tried to preserve the memory of their ancestors. Preserving the history of Russian emigration has a high relevance of the problem. The history of many Russian families is connected with Harbin, where there was the largest Russian diaspora. Nowadays this city is the administrative center of the Chinese province of Heilongjiang. We should not forget about the people who built the Chinese Eastern Railway, as well as about the Russian emigrants who lived in Harbin, but kept the image of Russia in their hearts and contributed enough to Russian culture and science. The purpose of this paper is to study the Russian emigrants life in Harbin and to restore contact with their descendants. The article uses historical and system analysis and bibliographic research method. The paper tells about the amazing life of Nikolai Nikolaevich Znamensky: his childhood in Harbin, his relatives, his move to the USSR, his admiration of nowadays China, and also focuses on the message of Nikolai Nikolaevich Znamensky to modern Harbin residents.
Levar a sociedade a pensar: bases da consciência simbólica

Published: May 2024

The Society (ndônga, in kikongo language) is responsible for the education of the individual (muntu), while the symbolic consciousness that prioritizes the freedom of muntu is inalienable due to the fact that the muntu is included, from early childhood, in “thinking society”. Face to the technological challenges of the life, where Philosophy is diminished as well, we ask to ourselves: how Africa can resist the new configurations of the 21st century? This article tries to answer in this way: the African toungue and culture (fields of alienation), as well, seem to be one of several way, if associate to the African Philosophy.
Binswanger versus Freud: apontamentos críticos para o lugar da psicanálise na problemática da daseinanálise em Foucault
Authors: Neto Jader Cavalcanti de Albuquerque
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to critically present the phenomenological analysis, or Daseinanalysis, as it appears in texts of Foucault from the 50’s and 60’s based in what we call Daseinanalysis problematics. To do so we aim to recollect critically the insufficiencies of psychoanalysis and as far as possible Husserl stands towards the problem disposed along Foucault’s texts on the matter, so as the human being bringing some Binswanger’s commenters as well, whose lines are used by the French philosopher to criticize psychoanalysis. We conclude showing that though Foucault endorses Binswanger’s critics towards a supposed biological reductionism in Freud’s work he assumes surreptitiously a determined kind of metaphysics and heteronomy by Binswangers’ concept of liberty.

Purpose. The goal is to analyze endonasal surgery for chronic dacryocystitis depending on the age of the patient. Material and methods.An analysis of the results of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) in 92 patients (92 eyes) operated on in 2018–2023 is presented. The age of the patients averaged 42.3±6.2 years (from 24 to 77 years). There were 69 female patients, 23 male patients. The patients were divided into 2 groups: 1st group – 29 patients under the age of 40 years, 2nd group – 63 patients who were over 40 years old at the time of surgery. The patients underwent a study of their general somatic condition, medical history, functional tests: Schirmer test, canalicular test according to the method of M.Yu. Sultanov, as well as a canalicular and nasal test with dye to determine the active patency of the lacrimal ducts. If necessary, diagnostic probing was performed. The severity of lacrimation in the postoperative period was assessed using a 4-point scale (from 0 to 4). Results.After the operation, in patients of 1st group, the absence of lacrimation (score of 0) was noted in 93.1% of cases (27 eyes), moderate lacrimation with a score of 2 – in 3.5% (1 eye) and severe lacrimation with a score of 4 – in 3.5% (1 eye). Thus, the required effect after surgery could not be achieved in 2 patients (in 7.0% of cases), who subsequently had to undergo repeat surgery. In the postoperative period of 2nd group, the absence of lacrimation (0 points) was recorded in 84.1% of cases (53 eyes), insignificant 1 point in 1.6% (1 eye), 2 points in 3.2% (2 eyes), in 3 points – in 4.8% (3 eyes) and in 4 points – in 6.3% (4 eyes). Thus, moderate and severe lacrimation was detected in 9 patients (14.3%), for which they underwent reoperation. Conclusion. Endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy is a more effective and preferable method of treating chronic dacryocystitis in patients under the age of 40 years compared to patients in an older age category. Key words: endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy, lacrimal ducts, chronic dacryocystitis, patient age

This review presents up-to-date information on officially approved intravitreal angiogenesis inhibitors, provides the comparative analysis of the data obtained during large-scale randomized trials on their efficacy and safety as well as possible schemes of their administration. Special attention is paid to the problem of refractory diabetic macular edema and alternative therapies, including the use of glucocorticoids, inhibition of Rho/ROCK signaling pathway. The dynamics of the central foveal thickness according to optical coherence tomography and best-corrected visual acuity are the main criteria for evaluating the diabetic macular edema therapy effectiveness. According to current data, intravitreal injection of angiogenesis inhibitors is a first-line treatment. In diabetic macular edema, the following drugs have been registered in Russia: ranibizumab, aflibercept, brolucizumab, faricimab. Laser retinal photocoagulation is used mainly for the non-central edema treatment. Intravitreal glucocorticoids are considered as an alternative therapy, but their use is limited by the presence of side effects in the form of secondary drug-induced ophthalmic hypertension and/or glaucoma and the development of cataracts. However, the suboptimal response to standard treatment and the development of refractory forms stimulate the development of novel drugs and delivery systems, as well as the use of several types of therapy that affect different points of the pathogenesis. The review emphasizes the need to further study the trigger points of the diabetic retinopathy pathogenesis and the development of diabetic macular edema in order to find novel drugs and individualize the treatment of each patient.

The Effect of Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth on Health: An Empirical Investigation for Türkiye
Authors: Kutluer Seda , Çalışkan Zafer
Published: May 2024

This study aims to investigate the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on health for the period of 1975-2018 in Türkiye by using a health production function approach. Life expectancy at birth which is the dependent variable in the study is used as a proxy for the average health status of Turkish citizens. FDI is defined as the ratio of foreign direct investment to GDP. In order to provide optimal estimates of cointegrating relationship, the Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) developed by Phillips & Hansen (1990) is preferred as the main estimation method, as it allows for endogeneity of explanatory variables. The findings of the study point out that foreign direct investment inflows reduce life expectancy in Türkiye.

Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections have become major threats to public health worldwide. Thus, bimetallic Ag-Cu nanoparticles-enzyme biohybrids has been developed. Different bimetallic bionanohybrids were synthesized with different contents of Ag, by the direct incubation of a previous synthesized Cu3(PO4)2NPs-CALB hybrid with silver salt in aqueous media and r.t. They were fully characterized, determining silver phosphate as metal species, and different nanoparticles sizes depending on the amount of silver used. HAADF-STEM analyses demonstrated the formation of individual Ag3PO4 NPs on the Cu-CALB nanoflowers. The catalytic reductase or oxidase-like activities of the bimetallic biohybrids was also affected being higher values when lower amount of silver was used. This effect was corroborated in their antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Results indicate that the presence of small content on silver in the bimetallic hybrids highly enhanced the antibacterial activity compared to initial Cu36@CALB hybrid. Optimal amount of silver has been found corresponding to the bimetallic Ag4Cu32@CALB hybrid which showed the strongest antibacterial effect, with log reductions of 7.6, 4.3 and 3.9 for K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, and 1.8 for M. smegmatis. Overall, these novel nanomaterials are a promising alternative for fight against different pathogens.

A previously undescribed azo-Povarov reaction between N-carbonyl aryldiazenes with trans-cyclooctene is developed. The participation of these aryldiazenes in the uncatalysed [4 + 2] annulation reaction has been applied to the construction of a variety of appealing fused cinnoline derivatives in yields ranging from 34 to 91% for substrates over a broad scope. The starting materials are cost-effective and easily accessible, while the reaction conditions and procedures are simple, requiring no external catalysts. Moreover, the synthetic significance of this methodology has been evidenced by a gram-scale azo-Povarov reaction and further derivatizations of the resulting N-containing heterocycles.
Metal-Free Aziridination of Unactivated Olefins via Transient N-Pyridinium Iminoiodinanes

We describe a metal-free aziridination of unactivated olefins to generate N-pyridinium aziridines, which participate in cross-coupling to afford N-aryl aziridines and reductive depyridylation to afford N–H aziridines. Kinetics experiments, based on variable time normalization analysis (VTNA), indicate that aziridination proceeds via a highly electrophilic N-pyridinium iminoiodinane intermediate. These studies expand build-and-couple strategies for aziridine synthesis to unactivated olefins and introduce charge-enhanced electrophilicity to the chemistry of iminoiodinanes.

Subcellular localization is important in regulating kinase activation and function. Small molecule flu-orescent probes for kinases can provide compli-mentary advantages to immunofluorescence and genetically encoded tags. Here, we developed a highly selective fluorescent probe for c-Src, a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. Our probe combines a py-razolopyrimidine (PP) kinase binding group and a coumarin fluorophore, and covalently binds to c-Src through a non-conserved cysteine (Cys-280). Our PP-coumarin (PP-C) probe is a turn-on fluo-rescent probe of c-Src that can be used in live-cell microscopy without washing and is compatible with super-resolution live-cell STED microscopy. We used PP-C to profile c-Src localization and expres-sion level in a panel of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines.
Catalytic ‘Gelectrodes’ for Sustainable and Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Authors: Bovas Anu , Radhakrishnan T. P.
Published: May 2024

Development of cost-effective catalysts that provide low overpotentials and enhanced electrochemical kinetics is a critical goal of contemporary research on electrochemical water splitting and similar technologically significant processes. Translation to practical applications demands that they should also enable high current densities to be ex-tracted. A simple strategy of encapsulating the active electrocatalyst in hydrogel polymer matrices is shown to provide a solution in several respects, especially regarding the last criterion. The concept is illustrated using two examples of ‘gelectrodes’ based on nanocomposites of cobalt oxyhydroxide and nickel-iron hydroxide with chitosan on nickel foam, and their efficient mediation of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Comparison with various control systems show that significantly lower overpotentials and higher current densities with extended temporal stability can be achieved with the gelectrodes; the cobalt oxyhydroxide - chitosan and nickel-iron hydroxide - chitosan systems provide stable current densities up to 1.6 - 1.7 A cm-2 for the OER with alkaline aqueous electrolyte. This simple design strategy is expected to open up a general route to technologically useful electrocatalyst performance.
El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, fundador de la identidad peruana

Published: May 2024

Se revela un aspecto esencial en el Inca Garcilaso de la Vega: ser el fundador de la identidad peruana. Dado que el Perú nació como fruto del mestizaje de indios y españoles, la identidad peruana radica justamente en ese mestizaje; la peruanidad es la síntesis de lo andino y lo europeo, es la reunión armoniosa de ambos mundos.
Michel-Ives Bolloré y Oliver Bonnassies, Dios, la ciencia, las pruebas: El albor de una revolución
Authors: Arroyo Martínez Fabre Mario Salvador
Published: May 2024

El libro de Michel-Ives Bolloré y Oliver Bonnassies, Dios, la ciencia, las pruebas, constituye indudablemente, una lanza a favor de la racionalidad de la fe, particularmente oportuna para el momento de escepticismo y descreimiento generalizado que caracteriza a la cultura contemporánea. Es, a la par, ambicioso y políticamente incorrecto, por lo que su lectura y difusión adquieren un cariz desafiante.

Published: May 2024

An ideal material used for restoration should be adhesive, tooth coloured, resistant to wear, nontoxic and biocompatible with the tissue. Various direct filling materials are available in dentistry such as amalgam, glass ionomer cement (GIC) and esthetic composite material, each of them having its advantages and disadvantages hence proper selection of restorative materials will help for its clinical success. Cention-N is a new alkasite, bulk filling, basic tooth-coloured, radiopaque material introduced by Ivoclar Vivadent in 2016. It is a self-curing filling material with optimum light curing. It consists of an isofiller which reduces the polymerization shrinkage and utilizes an alkaline filler which is capable of releasing acid-neutralizing ions. It presents with good mechanical properties and long-term stability due to the cross-linking of methacrylates in the final restoration hence it can be used in load-bearing areas. Cention-N can be efficiently used in pediatric patients as it is moisture resistant and releases fluoride which helps in remineralizing teeth thus preventing secondary caries. The use of caution is restricted in the anterior tooth as it is available only in one shade.
