The Bruhat order on classes of isotopic Latin squares
Authors: Fernandes Rosário , da Cruz Henrique F. , Salomão Domingos
Published: September 2020

In a previous paper, the authors introduced and studied the Bruhat order in the class of Latin squares of order n. In this paper, we investigate the restriction of the Bruhat order in a class of isotopic Latin squares. We present equivalent conditions for two Latin squares be related by the Bruhat order when one of them is obtained from the other by interchanging rows or columns or symbols. The cover relation is also addressed, and we present orthogonal isotopic Latin squares related by the Bruhat order.
Essential Newborn Care Among Postnatal Mothers at Selected Health Centers in Eastern Province, Rwanda
Authors: Batamuriza Miriam , Uwingabire Emmerence , Oluyinka Adejumo
Published: September 2020

Background

Rwanda's neonatal mortality rate is 20/1000 live births, and the country aims to meet the Sustainable Development Goal of 12 deaths per 1000 live births, or less, by 2030. Countries have decreased newborn deaths, infections, and intensive care unit admissions using the evidenced-based 'Essential Newborn Care' (ENC) guidelines established by the World Health Organization.

Objective

To assess postnatal mothers’ knowledge and practice of Essential Newborn Care in Kayonza District, Rwanda.

Method

A descriptive cross-sectional design was used to assess 192 postnatal mothers at the six-week vaccination services at two health facilities. Data collection using a valid questionnaire occurred from February 28 to March 2, 2019. Data analysis included descriptive and binary logistic regression.

Results

The majority (65.1%) had good ENC knowledge and practice, whereas a third (34.9%) had poor knowledge and practice. Significant gaps in ENC included timing of breastfeeding 33(17.2%), cord care 32(16.7%), and thermoregulation of small birth weight newborns 6(3.1%). Significant associations with ENC included maternal age (p=0.003), and ENC education postpartum (p=0.020).

Conclusion

The overall knowledge and practice of ENC are encouraging in this population, particularly with ENC education given postpartum, and older mothers. However, major gaps included evidenced-based cord care, thermoregulation, and breastfeeding, particularly among younger mothers.

Authors: Mukashyaka Joella , Mukarubayiza Rose , Mukarubayiza Rose , Habumugisha Emmanuel , Sunday Francois-Xavier , Muganwa Kellen , Mbarushimana Valens , Meharry Pamela
Published: September 2020

Background

Breastfeeding in the first hour post birth can decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality. Disease prevention and health outcomes differ immensely between newborns who receive human milk and those who do not. Rwanda has high breastfeeding rates, though factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) are unknown.

Objective

To assess factors associated with EIBF among mothers in immediate postpartum units at two hospitals.

Methods

A cross-sectional study design and a convenience sample of 187 mothers were used. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. A Chi-square test showed the relationship between EIBF and sociodemographic factors.

Results

The findings showed less than one quarter (20.5%) breastfed within the first hour after birth. The majority was < 25 years (52.4%), had some primary education (27.7%) employed (66.7%), urban dweller (58.1%), attendance of one ANC visit or more (81.3%), vaginal birth (58.8%), and did not receive EIBF health education (92.0%). The majority (78.5%) was too tired to initiate breastfeeding, and many supplemented (41.9%) due to perceived insufficient breastmilk.

Conclusion

Most mothers did not initiate breastfeeding within the first hour after birth. Sociodemographic factors were associated with EIBF. A program to promote, protect, and support EIBF is urgently needed the community.

Neonatal Outcomes from Mothers with Hypertension Disorders of Pregnancy: A Retrospective Study at a Referral Hospital in Rwanda
Authors: Uwizeyimana Phoibe , Musabyemariya Emerthe , Tengera Olive , Collins Anita
Published: September 2020

Background

Globally, maternal hypertensive disorders in pregnancy significantly increase both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal hypertension affects 14 percent of pregnancies. Eearly detection and management are critical for improving the health outcomes of both mother and neonate.

Objective

To assess the association between maternal hypertension disorders in pregnancy and immediate neonatal outcomes at a University Teaching Hospital in Rwanda.

Methods

A retrospective study of maternal files with hypertension disorders was conducted from January 1, 2016, to March 31, 2019. A census sample of 114 records and pretested checklist was used to collect data. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze associations between maternal factors and immediate neonatal outcomes.

Results

Neonatal outcomes included low birth weight (75.4%), prematurity (59.6%), admission to neonatal intensive care unit (50.4%), intrauterine growth restriction (32.4%), and neonatal death (22.8%). Nearly two-thirds (62%) of mothers had preeclampsia. Significant associations with immediate neonatal outcomes included gestational age, medical history, delivery mode, maternal referral status, preterm birth, prematurity, and abortion.

Conclusion

Maternal hypertensive disorders were significantly associated with adverse neonatal outcomes in our study population in Rwanda. Improving early detection, health education, and management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy is critical to reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Üniversitelerin İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Programında Görev Yapan Akademisyenler Üzerine Bir İnceleme
Authors: GÜR Berna , YAVUZ Şenol
Published: September 2020

İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği hayatımızın her aşamasında yer almaktadır. İlk aklımıza gelen işletmelerde çalışanların sağlığının korunması ve güvenli bir çalışma ortamının sağlanılması şeklinde düşünülebilir. İş sağlığı ve güvenliğinin amacı; iş kazası ve meslek hastalıklarının önlenmesi, çalışanların sosyal, ruhsal ve bedensel olarak tam iyilik halinin sağlanmasıdır. Ayrıca, üniversitelerde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği dersinin müfredata eklenmesi ile iş sağlığı ve güvenliği bilincinin kazanılması amaçlanmıştır. Zaman içerisinde İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında profesyonellere ihtiyaç duyularak İSG Uzmanlığı mesleği ortaya çıkmıştır. Üniversitelerde, önlisans ve lisansda İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği programı açılarak sektörün ihtiyacı olan uzman ihtiyacının giderilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Programların kuruluşlarında alanından yetişmiş hoca olmadığından, fizik, kimya, biyoloji, mühendislik fakülteleri ve teknik eğitim fakültelerinde bulunan akademisyenler derse girmiştir. Zaman içerisinde İSG uzmanlığı ya da İSG eğitici belgesine sahip hocalar derse girerek, yüksek lisans ve doktora ile alanında yetişmiş akademisyenler yetişmeye başlanmıştır. Günümüzde alanında yetkin hocaların sayısı azdır. Belirli bir uzmanlık alanı hala yoktur. Bu çalışmada, Üniversitelerde İSG eğitimi veren akademisyenlerin İSG alanındaki akademik kariyerlerini, uzmanlık alanlarını, demografik yapılarını, bu alanda akademik kariyerlerine devam etmek isteyip istemediklerini incelemek üzerine yapılmış bir çalışmadır. Elde edilen veriler “IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0” programı ile analiz edildi. “Cronbach Alpha (α)” değeri 0.623 bulunarak çalışmanın güvenirliği sağlanmış oldu. Erkek, evli, C sınıfı belgesi, öğretim görevlisi akademisyenlerin çoğunlukta olduğunu görüyoruz. Ankete katılanların İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında doçent ünvanı almak istediklerini, İSG Programının mühendislik fakültesinde olması gerektiğini düşündüklerini görüyoruz. Sonuç olarak; İş Güvenliği alanında akademik çalışma yapan hocaların azınlıkta olduğunu görüyoruz. Bu sonuçlara göre İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği alanında doçent ve prof ünvanına sahip hocaların yetişmesinin zaman alacağını söyleyebiliriz.

Published: September 2020

O Brasil, país de extensão continental e grande diversidade cultural, social, econômica e ambiental, é marcado por preconceitos, como xenofobia, racismo, homofobia e machismo. Percebe-se que existem contextos escolares que resultam em relações sociais e afetivas desiguais entre alunos, devido a sua origem e a da família. A presente prática pedagógica busca construir noções conjuntas sobre formação socioespacial e a valorização das diferenças. Com o objetivo de amenizar e propor um conjunto de reflexões sobre as histórias familiares, a partir do arcabouço da linguagem geográfica, pensou-se em uma atividade, chamada de Mapas de Origens Geográficas, na qual os estudantes deveriam descobrir as origens de seus familiares, com sensibilização para a desconstrução de preconceitos e valorização das diferenças socioespaciais. Também foi realizada uma roda de conversa, para que fossem expostos e discutidos os objetivos propostos. A prática pedagógica apresentou resultados satisfatórios para a discussão com os discentes de temas relacionados ao respeito às diversidades, às culturas locais e regionais. Também corroborou com a hipótese inicialmente formulada de que as origens geográficas das crianças e seus familiares eram diversificadas regionalmente. Portanto, a atividade auxiliou no desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico dos alunos em relação ao senso-comum, melhorando a autoestima pois muitos se sentiam excluídos e inferiorizados em decorrência de sua origem.

A maternidade  é  uma  experiência  que  interessa  a  toda  a sociedade,  mas  os  processos  biológicos e sociais que a envolvem, afetam, sobretudo, as mulheres. Os conceitos, normatizações e narrativas sobre essa experiência  estão,  porém,  muitas  vezes  sob  o  domínio   masculino. Compreendemos que  o  controle   e,   portanto,   a   representação   da maternidade é  do  interesse  da  ordem  patriarcal. A desconstrução de tal perspectiva deve partir da investigação da reflexão e ficção de autoria feminina. Neste artigo, interessa-nos destacar como tratam esse tema duas escritoras: a caboverdeana Dina Salústio e a brasileira Conceição Evaristo, através da análise de algumas narrativas. Tomo como base teórica para a discussão, reflexões acerca do tema que estão em Aminda Forna, Bell Hooks, Djamila Ribeiro, Chimamanda Adchie e Alice Walker.

Diclofenac Potassium sachets (DPS) is a new faster-absorption and rapid onset of pain relief drug dosage form of Diclofenac with high analgesic potential.

Objective. To assess efficacy and safety of Diclofenac sachets and intramuscular injections in relieving acute pain in patients with rheumatic diseases (RDs).

Materials and methods: The study group included 30 RD patients, 53.3% females and 46.7% males, mean age 41.8 ± 10.7 years, with severe acute pain (≥7 cm VAS pain rating, VAS 0-10 cm). After signing informed consent patients were randomized into DPS 50 mg t.i.d. and Diclofenac 75 mg i/m b.i.d. The first administration of Diclofenac was blind, i.e., patients from both groups were also administered placebo – either placebo injection in Group 1 randomized to sachet or placebo sachet in Group 2. The study lasted for 3 days. Level of analgesia was assessed in 15, 30, 60, 120, 180 minutes after the first administration, then three times a day during two following days and in the morning on day 4. Serum levels of CRP, IL-6 and P substance biomarkers were also monitored.

Results. Pain relief in Group 1 was documented already in 15 min after administration – from 8.1±0.8 to 5.7±1.7 cm VAS (р=0.012), with continuing increase of analgesic effect thereafter. Group 2 demonstrated significant pain relief in 1 hour after Diclofenac administration – from 7.6±0.7 to 4.5±1.9 cm VAS (р=0.04). Based on obtained data analgesic effect was more powerful in Group 1 vs Group 2 in 15 and 30 minutes after drug administration (р=0.019; р=0.037). Starting from the 3rd hour post-administration there was no statistically significant difference in pain intensity between the two groups. Final assessment in the morning on day 4 showed significant pain reduction by 4.5±2.6 cm VAS in Group 1 vs baseline, and by 3.6±1.4 cm VAS in Group 2 (p=0.545). Functional improvement in both groups reached 3.7±1.9 and 3.3±1.3 cm VAS, respectively (p=0.837). The results were rated as “good” and “excellent” by 77.0% in Group 1, and 61.5% – in Group 2 (р=0.302). No correlation between decreasing pain intensity and fluctuating CRP, IL-6, and substance P concentrations was established. Three patients from Group 1 reported new-onset dyspepsia, resulting in discontinuation of treatment in 2 of them. Similarly, 2 discontinuations occurred in 2 patients with new-onset dyspepsia in Group 2, plus one additional withdrawal due to gastric ulcer and elevated blood pressure.

Conclusion. DPS is not inferior to i/m Diclofenac injections in terms of analgesic potential and rapid onset of pain relief. Oral intake is associated with fewer adverse reactions compared to i/m injections.
Evaluation of the relationship of immuno-inflammatory process with dyslipidemia and myocardial morphofunctional parameters in patients with chronic heart failure on the background of rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: Ankudinov A. S. , Kalyagin A. N.
Published: September 2020

Objective. To evaluate the relationship between the manifestations of the immune-inflammatory process with dyslipidemia and morphofunctional parameters of the myocardial state in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (CHF-SFV) against the background of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Subjects and methods. The study involved 57 women with CHF-SFV, formed as a result of coronary heart disease and/or hypertension. All patients had functional class I and II according to NYHA. All patients were divided into comparable groups: the first group included 31 patients with a combination of CHF and seropositive RA of radiological stage I-III, the second group included 26 patients without RA. Patients with RA had a low and moderate degree of activity according to DAS28. The Diagnosis of CHF was verified by ESC (European Society of Cardiology) criteria, the diagnosis of RA – by EULAR/ACR criteria (2010). The therapy was in line with current clinical recommendations. Methotrexate was used as a basic anti-inflammatory drug in patients with RA. The average dosage was 12,9±2,5 mg/week. In the study groups, a comparative analysis of the main laboratory and instrumental indicators used in the diagnosis and monitoring of CHF, as well as the relationship of manifestations of the immunoinflammatory process with dyslipidemia and indicators of diastolic myocardial dysfunction was performed. 

Results. The level of total cholesterol in the CHF group without RA averaged 4,4±0,9 mmol/l and 5,2±2,2 mmol/l in the CHF and RA group (p=0,09); triglycerides – 1,9±0,7 and 1,5±0,9 mmol/l (p=0,3); low-density lipoproteins (LDL – C)-2,6±0,8 and 3,1±1,1 mmol/l (p=0,04); high – density lipoproteins (HDL-C) – HDL) – 1,3±0,2 and 1,3±0,1 mmol/l, respectively (p=0,7). In the group of CHF on the background of RA, a direct relationship between the intake of methotrexate (the average dose was 12,9±2,5 mg/week) and the level of HDL-C: R=0,3; R2=0,1; F=0,9; (p=0,01). In the group of CHF and RA, there was a statistically significant relationship between the ratio of transmittal flow parameters with the level of DAS28 and RF: R=0,5; R2=0,3; F=2,6 (p=0,04).

Conclusion. Against the background of the immuno-inflammatory process caused by RA, a significant increase in the level of LDL was detected, which can negatively affect the course of dyslipidemia in patients with CHF-SFV. There was an increase in the concentration of HDL on the background of treatment with methotrexate in the group of CHF-SFV and RA. A direct correlation of the ratio of parameters of the transmittal flow with the RF and DAS28 levels was found. This relationship may affect the progression of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in the group of CHF and RA, but prospective studies are needed to clarify its role.
Entre la escuela y la universidad: la indagación narrativa como pasaje formativo
Authors: Molina Galvañ Mª Dolores , Quiles Fernández Emma , Garzón Poyatos Andrea
Published: September 2020

El presente artículo muestra el modo en que la indagación narrativa se convierte en un pasaje formativo entre aquello que experimentamos al investigar junto a maestras en la escuela y aquello que se va movilizando como un saber narrativo, práctico, y de la experiencia, en nuestras clases en la universidad. Esos pasajes nos preparan para una relación con la realidad educativa. Una realidad que requiere de una relación pensante con el acontecer de las cosas, con aquello que nuestras estudiantes han vivido y con aquello que vamos viviendo junto a ellas en la Formación Inicial del Profesorado. Los pasajes son, entonces, un modo de transitar la pregunta pedagógica por los hechos educativos. Un modo de suspensión, de inactivación de aquello que ya sabemos o creemos saber o buscamos conseguir de otros, para volver a abrir de nuevo, y como nueva, la atención sobre esos hechos educativos. Nuestras estancias en la escuela nos permiten profundizar en cómo invitamos a nuestras estudiantes a pensar acerca de la escuela y de la vida en ella. En este texto desplegamos tres modos de transitar dichos pasajes: a) acercándonos a la experiencia a partir de contarnos historias; b) aproximándonos al saber docente indagando relatos de experiencia; y c) acercándonos al saber de la experiencia que nace del propio estudio. Modos que responden a cómo nos abrimos a la experiencia de la relación y la atención que prestamos a la infancia. Esto es, a la experiencia de crecer y de saber en la Formación Inicial del Profesorado.
Monitoring the health environment in Ukrainian primary schools
Authors: Shmatkov Daniil , Astakhovа Mariia , Lunyachek Vadim
Published: September 2020

The article describes the results of monitoring the health environment in primary schools in the Kharkiv region (Ukraine), which was carried out in 2017 and 2018. In the study, school principals of 77 primary schools, 42 (the number of administrative districts in the Kharkiv region) inspectors of educational departments, 462 teachers, and 847 parents of children answered the questions. Through a qualitative model built on this basis, the implementation of the health environment in the primary schools was evaluated. The model was built taking into account organizational, managerial, medical, methodological, pedagogical, and family aspects. Monitoring results indicate that school principals rate the state of the health environment in the primary schools slightly higher than officials. At the same time, the general indicator is at medium and sufficient levels. Together with the general development of the health environment, the analysis revealed a decrease in the development of family and pedagogical aspects (parental involvement in health events, school work of young parents, etc.). The decrease in the level of cooperation with parents is also confirmed by the results of the parents' responses. The smallest number of participants in the study characterized the health environment monitoring system in primary schools at a high-level. We reaffirm the importance of involving all stakeholders in the context of planning, implementation, monitoring, and management of the health environment.

Published: September 2020

El esquí alpino es un deporte complejo pero con baja tasa de abandono, idóneo para promover la práctica deportiva en edad escolar. Evitar el fracaso y frustración en la iniciación requiere de un método de enseñanza que facilite la progresión. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar si es eficaz un método basado en el empleo de esquís cortos. La muestra se compuso de 37 sujetos, de entre 8 y 9 años de edad (M=8.12; DT=0.33). El programa tuvo una duración de 5 días con 5 horas de clase diarias. El grupo experimental (GE) fue equipado con esquís un 25% más cortos que el grupo de control (GC). Todos los profesores de esquí siguieron el mismo protocolo de enseñanza. Se grabó a todos los participantes en una bajada en pista verde y un equipo de expertos puntuó la ejecución técnica (VP), el control de la velocidad (CV), control de trayectoria (CT) y el equilibrio (E). El GE obtuvo mejor puntuación en CV , CT y VP respecto al GC, pero sólo la variable VP resultó ser significativa (M=1.87; DT=0.76 vs M=1.29; DT=0.58). Se encontraron correlaciones positivas fuertes entre las variables CV y CT (r=0.80), y entre EQ y VP (r=0.80), y moderadas entre CE y CT (r=0,66), del GE. El empleo de esquís cortos facilita un aprendizaje más eficaz y seguro, pudiendo evolucionar más rápidamente, lo que debe ser tomado en consideración por parte de todos los involucrados en la enseñanza del esquí alpino en edad escolar

Date Presented 03/26/20

As the need for education of caregivers for people with dementia increases, OT is well suited to fill the demand using an understanding of the whole person, need for meaningful occupation, and interaction with the environment. At this time, the contribution of OT is not well understood or sought after by families, physicians, and other practitioners. With evidence gained from validated research, the role of OT in dementia care is strengthened.

Date Presented 03/28/20

Cognitive difficulties are commonly reported by individuals with chronic pain. An interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation program (IPRP) that includes OT can be an effective strategy for improving cognitive performance. This case series examines change in cognitive performance for two individuals following a three-week IPRP. OTs provide group-based education with an emphasis on function. This approach successfully enhances cognitive performance and can potentially be used as an OT treatment in other settings.

Published: September 2020

Abstract. Atmospheric pollutants over the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau (HTP) have potential implications for accelerating the melting of glaciers, damaging air quality, water sources and grasslands, and threatening climate on regional and global scales. Improved knowledge of the variabilities, sources, drivers, and transport pathways of atmospheric pollutants over the HTP is significant for regulatory and control purpose. In this study, we first quantify the variability, source, and transport of CO over the HTP by using in situ measurement, GEOS-Chem model tagged CO simulation, and atmospheric circulation pattern techniques. Diurnal, seasonal, and interannual variability of CO over the HTP are investigated with ~ 6 years (January 2015 to July 2020) of surface CO measurements in eight cities over the HTP. Annual mean of surface CO volume mixing ratio (VMR) over the HTP varied over 318.3 ± 71.6 to 901.6 ± 472.2 ppbv, and a large seasonal cycle was observed with high levels of CO in the late autumn to spring and low levels of CO in summer to early autumn. The diurnal cycle is characterized by a bimodal pattern with two maximums in later morning and midnight, respectively. Surface CO VMR from 2015–2020 in most cities over the HTP showed negative trends. The in situ CO measurements are for the first time used to assess the performance of GEOS-Chem full-chemistry model for the specifics of the HTP. Generally, GEOS-Chem can capture the measured variability of low CO levels but shows large discrepancies in high CO levels. Distinct dependencies on a short lifetime species of NO2 almost in all cities over the HTP were observed, implying local emissions to be predominant. By turning off the emission inventories within the HTP in GEOS-Chem tagged CO simulation, the relative contribution of long range transport was evaluated. The results disclosed that transport ratios of primary anthropogenic source, primary biomass burning (BB) source, and secondary oxidation source to the surface CO VMR over the HTP varied over 35 to 61 %, 5 to 21 %, and 30 to 56 %, respectively. The anthropogenic contribution is dominated by the South Asia and East Asia (SEAS) region throughout the year (58 % to 91 %). The BB contribution is dominated by the SEAS region in spring (25 to 80 %) and the Africa (AF) region in July–February (30–70 %). This study concluded that the anthropogenic and oxidation sources originating either local or in SEAS region dominated the surface CO over the HTP, which is different from the black carbon that is mainly attributed to BB source from SEAS region. The decreasing trends in surface CO VMR since 2015 in most cities over the HTP are attributed to the reduction in local and transported CO emissions in recent years.
Análises de evolução dos temas 'neutralidade da rede' e 'proteção de dados' no Fórum de Governança da Internet: de 2013 a 2018
Authors: Trevisan Pigatto Jaqueline
Published: September 2020

Este artigo mostra a evolução dos temas de proteção de dados e neutralidade da rede a partir das reuniões do Fórum de Governança da Internet (IGF), tanto no entendimento de conceitos quanto nas práticas exercidas, evidenciando a importância das discussões multistakeholder. Para tanto, foram selecionados temas das principais problemáticas discutidas durante a década de 2010 e que envolvem de modo significativo a dinâmica entre setores governamental e privado. Destacamos as gigantes de tecnologia Google e Facebook, por seus papéis centrais em coleta e processamento de dados pessoais em nível global, assim como suas influências no tema da neutralidade da rede, isto é, que o conteúdo transmitido ao usuário seja o mesmo para todos que acessam seus serviços, sem qualquer tipo de discriminação. As análises de discurso começam pelo ano de 2013 quando se deu o caso Snowden, e o tema da privacidade se torna então prioritário nas discussões relativas à Internet, passando por um momento de protagonismo da neutralidade da rede em 2015 e 2016, mas com retorno à proteção de dados pessoais em 2018, ano em que é revelado o caso da consultoria Cambridge Analytica, trazendo também uma retomada do papel estatal no ciberespaço. Conclui-se que embora o Fórum de Governança da Internet não tome decisões com algum poder de enforcement sobre as plataformas, ele gera discussões e evoluções de conceitos que moldam ações regulatórias, em sua maioria priorizando flexibilidade graças à participação de diversos setores na discussão, ou seja, o caráter multistakeholder se revela eficiente, ainda que ora exista uma preponderância privada (2013), ora governamental (2018).
Campo, conexión y desigualdad. Hacia una economía política de las prácticas en la era del capitalismo digital
Authors: Barba del Horno Mikel
Published: September 2020

En este artículo se presenta una reflexión sobre las potencialidades que, para el estudio de lo digital, presenta el marco teórico desarrollado por Pierre Bourdieu. Se parte de tres premisas epistemológicas: la existencia de una cierta continuidad estructural con la sociedad predigital, el rechazo del dualismo digital-analógico y una concepción del poder y la desigualdad que va más allá de lo puramente conectivo o informacional. A lo largo del texto se expone como la teoría de Bourdieu puede ser una herramienta potente a la hora de abordar algunos de los debates que se han planteado en el seno de la sociología digital: los debates en torno a la presencia de actores no humanos, el ensamblaje ciborg digital o el concepto de prosumidor. Se defiende también la potencialidad del concepto de capital cultural objetivado para integrar lo digital en el universo de las prácticas sociales. Este concepto da cabida a elementos como el cuerpo, el espacio, los datos o la infraestructura en la explicación de la desigualdad.
Searching for sustainability in the digital agriculture debate: an alternative approach for a systemic transition
Authors: Cobby Roy William
Published: September 2020

One of the key challenges for agriculture today is feeding an increasing population without contributing to climate change. Increasingly, digital agriculture is discussed as a new sociotechnical regime that could help limit emissions for farmers worldwide. While sustainability is an important issue, recent papers in the field of digital agriculture do not address the problem directly. After a literature review, this paper will focus on the importance of shared perspectives as enablers in socio-technical transitions. This paper argues that the myth of the digital sublime could act in favour of the existing and unsustainable model of agriculture. This is partly a result of hardware production and connectivity already being resource-intensive. Precisely because of this high environmental impact, the following discussion will employ the legacy of the Green Revolution to highlight the importance of precaution in deploying digital agriculture. In theory, in order to address the shortcomings of the current system, private sector companies are developing proprietary software solutions that could in practice entrench unsustainable business models. As an alternative, this paper suggests, existing open-source platforms that encourage not-for-profit collaborations between farmers should be scaled up. Through bottom-up processes, future researchers and developers should seek ways to place sustainability at the centre of their analyses, and encourage the adoption of practices that can be tailored to the diverse needs of farmers. Ultimately, stakeholders in digital agriculture should understand that sustainability principles must be encoded at all stages in the deployment of digital agriculture technologies.
