Authors: Campos Patrícia de Oliveira , Nascimento Ana Clara Lira do , Santana Poliana Nunes de , Costa Marconi Freitas da
Published: October 2023

Objetivo - Dada a incipiência teórica da compra por vingança, esta pesquisa busca contribuir para sua literatura construindo um modelo teórico-explicativo baseado na teoria da reatância. Nosso objetivo é analisar as relações entre o medo da COVID-19, o controle comportamental percebido, a solidão e a intenção de comprar por vingança.
Design/metodologia/abordagem - Os dados foram coletados de 781 participantes válidos por meio de uma survey on-line, e analisados por meio da técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais.
Resultados - Os principais resultados indicam que o medo da COVID-19 é o fator mais forte para explicar a intenção de comprar por vingança no cenário pós-pandemia. De forma contraintuitiva, identifica-se que o controle comportamental percebido e a solidão não são fatores explicativos. Provavelmente, a restauração do controle comportamental ocorre por meio de outros mecanismos, como as compras on-line. Além disso, altos níveis de solidão podem induzir os indivíduos a procurarem eventos sociais e viagens como estratégia compensatória.
Originalidade/valor - Este estudo está entre os primeiros a analisar os antecedentes da intenção de comprar por vingança. Além disso, agrega valor à literatura ao examinar pela primeira vez a inter-relação do medo da COVID-19, do controle comportamental percebido, da solidão e da intenção de comprar por vingança.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas - Este estudo traz uma nova perspectiva para as bases teóricas da compra por vingança. Além disso, dado o estágio inicial da literatura sobre o tema, ele é valioso, pois contribui para a consolidação teórica do construto.

Manuel Vázquez Montalbán y Josep Rondissoni: celebridad y mujeres simbólicas en la creación del paisaje gastronómico de Barcelona
Authors: Ingram Rebecca
Published: October 2023

Este artículo detalla y analiza el papel que ha tenido Manuel Vázquez Montalbán en rescatar el saber y el patrimonio culinario de Josep Rondissoni (1890–1968), chef de renombre de los años 20 y 30 y profesor del Institut de Cultura i Biblioteca Popular de la Dona. La obra de Rondissoni es fundacional para una identidad gastro-política específicamente catalana y parte del paisaje gastronómico, o foodscape, que la escritura de Vázquez Montalbán ayuda a crear para Barcelona. Sin embargo, como se verá, su representación del célebre chef mediático y profesor de miles de mujeres barcelonesas tiene consecuencias con respecto a cómo las dinámicas de género y clase social se hacen normativas en el foodscape que su escritura establece. En este caso, las figuras marginadas son las propias mujeres cuyo trabajo culinario ha facilitado la recuperación de este patrimonio culinario importante.

Background. Soil management practices modify the microbial communities and the carbon stocks (organic, inorganic, and total). The increase in microbiological communities’ diversity improves the production of plants; thus, it is essential to understand the predominant bacterial taxa in the soil. Objective. The objective of the present study was to establish the bacterial communities’ alteration by agroecological management in maize crops in arid northern Mexico. Methodology. Bacterial diversity and composition were determined in soils from Coahuila, Mexico, under three different scenarios: i) Agroecological management (AM), ii) Conventional management (CM), and iii) Control (T, with no vegetation). In addition, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and soil organic matter (SOM) were analyzed using standard methods. Bacterial DNA was extracted from the soil, amplifying the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene and sequencing with Illumina. The gene sequences were analyzed in QIIME. Results. A total of 20 bacterial phyla and 631 genera were registered. For AM, CM, and T, respectively, the most abundant genera were Tepidisphaera (7.02, 9.29, and 9.93 %), Sphingomonas (6.55, 5.15, and 4.06 %), Microvirga (2.64, 2.39, and 3.63 %), and Blastococcus (2.91, 3.10, and 3.37 %). A significant difference was observed among groups (p = 0.004), where AM was different, which suggests that the type of substrate determines the diversity and abundance of the bacterial community. Significant differences were found for pH and EC, with higher pH in CM (7.87) and T (7.86) soils. The EC was higher in AM (446 μ Scm-1) and T (419 μ Scm-1). On the other hand, AM showed the best result in SOM content (21.80 ± 1.10 gC kg-1). Implication. Therefore, AM in maize crops has the potential to conserve or restore C stock in degraded arid lands, increasing bacterial diversity, favoring the health of the soil. Conclusion. Agroecological management of maize crops soils in arid North of Mexico promotes greater bacterial diversity, which will favor the availability of nutrients for the future development of healthy plants.

Background: In Mexico, rice crop production is limited by phytopathogenic fungi that cause diseases, some of which increase their incidence and severity when conditions such as high humidity and nutrient deficiency or excess occur. Objective: Determine the incidence and severity of the damage caused by phytopathogenic fungi in rice lines subjected to conditions of 100 % and 10 % nitrogen and phosphorous fertilization. Methodology: The experiment was carried out in the spring-summer 2021 cycle, at the Ébano-INIFAP Experimental Site, 136 rice lines were used and two treatments (100 % and 10 % nitrogenous and phosphorous chemical fertilization), were morphologically identified. phytopathogenic fungi and the incidence, severity, plant height and fresh biomass were measured. Results: Higher incidence and severity (27.5 % and <4 % respectively) were obtained in the rice lines subjected to the 10 % nitrogenous and phosphorous fertilization treatment. In both treatments Chiclayo 61 was identified as tolerant to damage from Alternaria sp., Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium equiseti, presenting incidence and severity of symptoms between 3.3 to 36.7 % and <1.5 %, respectively. On the other hand, plant height and fresh biomass showed higher values in the treatment with higher fertilization.Implications: High temperature and precipitation and nutritional deficiency increase damage by phytopathogenic fungi. Conclusion: The incidence and severity of the damage caused by Alternaria sp., Curvularia geniculata and Fusarium equiseti, in the crop increases when there are conditions of nutritional deficiency, in addition, nutrient-deficient plants have lower height and fresh biomass.

Background. Determining carbon in forest ecosystems is essential to estimate its influence on climate change mitigation. This study aimed to determine the carbon stored in the vegetation and soil of the Protected Natural Area of the "La Purísima" Dam and its influence zone in Guanajuato, Mexico. Methodology. The study area was classified according to its tree density as high, medium, low, and grassland. In each sampling site, tree species were identified, and total height and normal diameter were measured. In the shrub layer, crown diameter and height were measured. Species biomass was estimated using documented allometric equations, except for Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Mart. ex Pfeiff.) generated in this study. In the herbaceous layer, the percentage of coverage in the sites was considered, for which eight random samples of 0.25 m2 were taken. Carbon estimation stored in MgC ha-1 was obtained by multiplying the biomass by the factor 0.5. Carbon was measured in the soil by extracting 12 random samples at a depth of 20 cm. Results. In the 263.3 ha of the studied area, 16,627.7 MgC were estimated. The soil contributed 71.21%, the tree layer 24.6%, the shrub 1.86%, grass 0.75 and the herbaceous layer 1.57%. Implications. Even the species that develop in low deciduous forests have a reduced photosynthetic capacity; they significantly contribute to carbon stores. Conclusions. The difference in carbon storage varies according to the densities of the wood species; high densities have a greater amount of stored carbon in the aerial stratum and the soil. The carbon contributed by the grassland was barely perceptible.

Economic cooperation in the agricultural sector is a reality between Cameroon and China. This contribution presents and analyzes Chinese investments in the agricultural sector of the Central and Southern Cameroon regions from 1960 to 2023.The methodology of this study is centered on field observations, literature review and interviews with the actors in charge. Sino-Cameroonian cooperation on the agricultural component. These actors are localities of Nanga-Eboko, Meyomessala, Kribi and Niété. Socio-economic surveys were carried out among 200 producers in these localities. It emerges from the main results of the study that Chinese investments in the agricultural sector are involved in food, market gardening and cash crop agriculture (rubber). Nearly 37.5% of producers in these localities say they benefit from Chinese expertise and human resource management, while 32.5% appreciate the Chinese contribution to local development and the strengthening of extra-agricultural activities. Moreover, only 20% of producers are satisfied with China's action in the dynamics of agricultural development. The problems remain in this cooperation and the redefinition of new Chinese intervention strategies is desired so that these localities benefit more.
Image Portrayal of Africa on International Screens: Case Study of “Black Panther” and “Operation Red Sea”
Authors:   Zhejiang Normal University, China, Taling Téné Rodrigue
Published: October 2023

In recent years, with the continuous development of the international film industry, China’s film industry has also entered a new pattern of opening up and development in all aspects. In its “Going Global” trend, the Chinese movie industry has demonstrated a certain level of maturity in term of storytelling and technology mastering. Among others, the 2018 Africa’s narrative based Chinese movie “OPERATION RED SEA” stood out above all with a daring story and wonderful scenes. Despite of being eyes-catching and heart-touching, the movie conveyed to the global audience an Africa’s image of war, desert and pirates. In the same year was released another uncommon Africa’s narrative-based movie “BLACK PANTHER”, by the well-known American movie company Hollywood. “BLACK PANTHER” quickly became a milestone in the American movie history due to its subversion of the longstanding Hollywood tradition of “white leading role, black supporting role” as well as the “white super-heroism” dominant tendency. However, “OPERATION RED SEA” and “BLACK PANTHER” are nothing but the reflection of differences and preferences of Chinese and Americans in the image portrayal of Africa, which still are far from being the original conception of Africa as experienced by African people themselves. Therefore, the key question of how to improve the narratives of Africa on international screens comes to mind. Furthermore, what can the Chinese Movie Industry draw from the longstanding American experience of Africa’s narration? And how can the Chinese and American together with the African movies industries, work hand in hand to improve Africa’s image portrayal international screens?

Published: October 2023

Perkawinan beda agama masih menjadi suatu isu hukum yang hangat dibicarakan oleh pengamat hukum dan masyarakat Indonesia. Hal ini memang tidak dapat dipungkiri mengingat Indonesia merupakan negara yang sangat majemuk dari agama, bahasa hingga kebudayaannya. Pada tahun 2023 kasus pernikahan beda agama kembali mencuat dengan kasus dimana Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat mengabulkan permohonan perkawinan beda agama dalam putusan perkara nomor 155/Pdt.P/2023/PN.Jkt.Pst. Sehingga Mahkamah Agung mengeluarkan SEMA Nomor 2 Tahun 2023 yang ditujukan kepada Ketua/Kepala Pengadilan Tinggi Banding dan Ketua/Kepala Pengadilan Tingkat Pertama diharapkan semua Hakim tunduk pada SEMA tersebut. SEMA sendiri ditunjukan kepada hakim, ketua pengadilan, panitera, ataupun pejabat dalam lingkungan peradilan sehingga sesuai dengan sifat aturan kebijakan yang mengatur kedalam internal. SEMA Nomor 2 tahun 2023 diharapkan menjadi penengah antara disharmoni UU Perkawinan dengan UU Adminduk karena Hakim tunduk pada SEMA karena posisi SEMA merupakan Peraturan Perundang-undangan yang diakui keberadaannya dan mempunyai kekuatan hukum mengikat sepanjang diperintahkan oleh Peraturan Perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi atau dibentuk berdasarkan kewenangan.
Est-ce que Chat GPT peut faire preuve de sollicitude ?
Authors: RICHARD C , LUSSIER MT , GPT C
Published: October 2023

Chat GPT peut-être aidant pour réfléchir vite... mais les informations ne sont pas garanties. Chat (ou « discussion » ou « On jase ») GPT est intéressant pour avoir une perspective globale sur un sujet, mais n’est pas fiable pour trouver des références précises, des auteurs ou des articles. Pour ces derniers aspects, il faut recourir à des moteurs de recherche comme Google Scholar® ou PubMed®, etc. Dans la littérature portant sur la communication, sa maîtrise est souvent réduite à l’usage de techniques : questions ouvertes, écoute active, etc. L’exception est l’empathie qui semblerait être LA technique communicationnelle à utiliser pour que le patient se sente compris et soutenu émotionnellement. Cependant plusieurs autres comportements peuvent soutenir le patient qui vit une situation difficile : sollicitude, bienveillance, bonté, générosité, dévouement, gentillesse, humanité, sensibilité, etc.

Published: October 2023

Stroke survivors have access to a wide range of drug and non-drug treatments for the resulting physiological and functional problems. However, comprehensive therapies typically fail to meet the demands of a large percentage of patients. The recent clinical studies to improve protocol scientific evidence have resulted in a new development phase for rehabilitation medicine. Stroke rehabilitation supports individuals to lead a normal life. It assists the physicians in offering an effective environment to the patients. The evaluation of a patient’s progress in rehabilitation is based on the clinician’s subjective observations and the patient’s self-reported data. Deep learning techniques offer novel forms of individualized treatment. Nonetheless, missing data is one of the crucial factors that reduces the performance of data classification techniques. Thus, there is a demand for functional recovery prediction models for supporting stroke patients (SPs) to improve their quality of life. In this study, the researchers intend to build a framework for predicting functional outcomes using the electronic health record data of SPs. An attention-based bidirectional gated recurrent unit is used for developing the data imputation model. In addition, a shallow-convolutional neural network is employed for predicting the functional outcomes based on the modified Barthel Index. Data from 356 SPs were utilized for evaluating the performance of the proposed framework with the benchmark metrics and baseline models. The findings reveal that the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art classification by achieving an average accuracy, precision, recall, F1-measure, specificity, and sensitivity of 98.18, 97.48, 98, 97.74, 96.74, and 97.24, respectively. The proposed framework can be implemented in real time to support SPs.
The Mediating Role of Anxiety in the Relationship Between Mothers’ Cognitive Avoidance and Adolescents’ Digital Game Addiction
Authors: Jahantigh Hellema , Nourimoghadam Sana
Published: October 2023

Background: Adolescents are vulnerable to addictive behaviors such as digital game addiction, and mothers’ cognitive avoidance can play a key role in initiating and intensifying these behaviors. Objectives: The present research tends to review the mediating role of anxiety in the relationship between mothers' cognitive avoidance and adolescents' digital addiction. Materials and Methods: The current research was a correlational-descriptive study. The sample consisted of 199 high school students in the city of Zahedan, along with their mothers between 2020 and 2021, who were selected by a convenience sampling method. Students answered the Digital Addiction Scale for Children (DASC) and the youth anxiety measure for DSM-5 (YAM-5), and their mothers answered the Sexton and Dagas Cognitive Avoidance Questionnaire (CAQ). Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and path analysis in SPSS and AMOS-24 software. Results: The results of Pearson's correlation test indicated that adolescents’ digital game addiction had a significant positive relationship with the dimensions of mothers' cognitive avoidance and adolescent anxiety (P < 0.001). The results of the path analysis test indicated the positive and significant direct effects of mothers’ cognitive avoidance dimensions, including suppression (P < 0.05, β = 0.19), substitution (P < 0.001, β = 0.29), and avoidance (P < 0.05, β = 0.20), on adolescent anxiety, and the positive and significant indirect effects of suppression (β = 0.04), substitution (β = 0.06), and mothers’ cognitive avoidance (β = 0.04) on digital game addiction. Also, the findings indicated that the direct effects of adolescent anxiety (P < 0.01, β = 0.22) and mothers’ cognitive return attention (P < 0.001, β = 0.34) on children's digital game addiction were positive and significant. In addition, mothers' cognitive avoidance and adolescent anxiety explained 24% of the variance of digital game addiction in adolescents. Conclusions: The findings of the present study are consistent with the hypothesis of the importance of family factors in adolescents’ digital game addiction. Conducting such research can provide important practical approaches concerning prevention and intervention by providing essential information on the role of individual and family factors in the occurrence of digital addiction.

Published: October 2023

Background: This study aimed to compare blood culture and serum levels of anti-Brucella antibodies between pregnancies leading to abortion and successful pregnancies. Methods: In this case-control study, 60 women with spontaneous abortions were considered the case group, and 60 women with normal pregnancy outcomes were selected as the control group. Both groups were matched. The serology of IgM and IgG antibodies and blood culture was also compared using the enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) method. IgM and IgG levels above and equal to 12 were considered positive titers, and data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20. Results: The mean age of mothers (P ≤ 0.364), the frequency of positive blood cultures for Brucella (P ≤ 0.157), seropositivity of anti-Brucella IgG (P ≤ 0.300), and seropositivity of anti-Brucella IgM (P ≤ 0.057) showed no significant differences between case and control groups; however, mean serum levels of IgM were significantly higher in women with abortion than in the control group (P ≤ 0.042). Conclusions: This study shows that Brucella seropositivity and positive blood culture are no more common in women with spontaneous abortions than in women with normal pregnancy outcomes. However, screening pregnant women for diseases in endemic areas, starting antibiotic treatment, and developing educational strategies for women of childbearing age will help prevent the disease and its adverse complications in pregnancy.

Published: October 2023

Background: Due to the occurrence of hemodialysis, the life expectancy of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is lengthening. However, their quality of life (QoL) is decreasing. The QoL of ESRD patients is composed of physical component score (PCS), mental component score (MCS), and kidney-related component score (KDCS) components. Nutritional status is one of the influencing factors of QoL. It is unclear whether free fat mass (FFM) or fat mass contributes to the increase of QoL in ESRD patients. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the correlation between FFM percentage and the QoL of ESRD patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Hemodialysis Unit, Division of Kidney and Hypertension, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital, Jakarta from June to July 2018. In this study, 102 subjects were included. Blood samples were collected for laboratory examination. FFM percentage was measured using bioimpedance analysis (BIA). Meanwhile, QoL was evaluated using KDQOL SF-36 version 1.3. Statistical analysis was done using Pearson correlation test. Analysis of QoL was done based on fat percentage using ANOVA test. Results: In this study, the overall KDQOL score was 47.86 ± 6.56 with PCS 40.97 ± 9.66, MCS 46.6 (22.05 - 59.95), and KDCS 55.98 ± 9.02. FFM percentage was 74.21 ± 1% with mean mass of 43.06 ± 8.16 kg. Statistical analysis showed no correlation between FFM percentage and overall KDQOL score (r 0.032, P 0.750). However, there was a significant correlation between PCS and FFM (r 0.223, P 0.024). Conclusions: There is a weak positive correlation between FFM in kg and the physical quality of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients.

Background: Obesity causes skeletal muscle metabolic disorders by altering the expression of the genes involved in lipid metabolism. One of the genes that play an important role in lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle tissue is sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP). Objectives: Since the interacting effect of aerobic exercise and high-fat diet on the expression of this gene has not been well studied, the aim of the present study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the expression of the SREBP-1c gene in skeletal muscle in obese female rats. Methods: Eighteen female Wistar rats in the weight range of 180 - 200 grams were selected and randomly divided into three groups: (1) control fed with a normal diet; (2) control fed with a high-fat diet; and (3) aerobic exercise plus a high-fat diet. The high-fat diet contained 40% fat (20% soybean oil and 20% animal fat), 13% protein, and 47% carbohydrates. The rats were initially fed with a high-fat diet for 6 weeks, and then they performed aerobic exercise on a treadmill 5 times a week for 6 weeks. Forty-eight hours after the last training session and after eleven hours of fasting, the rats were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine. Quadriceps tissues were removed to determine the SREBP-1c gene’s expression by real-time PCR. Results: Feeding with a high-fat diet significantly increased the weight of rats (P = 0.001). The expression of the SREBP-1c gene in the group fed with the high-fat diet decreased significantly compared to the group fed with the normal diet (P = 0.001). Aerobic exercise significantly increased the expression of the SREBP-1c gene in the quadriceps muscle (P = 0.001), contradicting the effect of the high-fat diet on the expression of this gene. Conclusions: Aerobic training may alleviate lipid metabolism disorders in muscles by increasing the expression of the SREBP-1c gene. Therefore, aerobic exercises can be used to contradict the metabolic complications caused by the high-fat diet in skeletal muscles.

lnnovation management has different approaches for implementation. depending on the type of company and industry in which it is applied. In spite of existing organizational models for innovation management in companies and institutions, few studies are found in the scientific lirature about knowledge and innovation creation, particularly in those that are public funded, specifically hospitals, through an organizalion and management for that process . This research is oriented towards bringing fundamentals for defining, developing and implementing an innovation management model, focused on valorizing research and knowledge, applied to a public funded spanish hospital. The study is based on case study methodology It
develops a roadmap for structuring innovation departments in hospitals applied to a real case: Corporació Sanitaria Parc Tauli de Sabadell. lt is shown that innovation in hospitals could be generated and maximized through structured innovation departments

La gestión de la innovación tiene diferentes implementaciones dependiendo del tipo de empresa y del sector. A pesar de que existen diferentes modelos de organización para la gestión de la innovación en las empresas e instituciones, poco se ha estudiado en la literatura sobre la generación de conocimiento e innovaciones en aquellas que hacen referencia al sector público, en especial a hospitales, a través de una gestión y organización para ello. Esta investigación pretende dar entrada a la definición, desarrollo e implementación de un modelo de gestión de la innovación, enfocado en la valorización de la investigación y conocimiento, aplicado a un centro hospitalario público español. Está basada en estudio de caso exploratorio. El estudio realizado desarrolla un mapa de ruta para la estructuración de departamentos de innovación para hospitales con énfasis en un caso aplicado: Corporació Sanitària Parc Taulí de Sabadell. Se demuestra que a través de la organización de estructuras para innovación en los hospitales puede maximizarse la generación de innovación
La actividad de la administración en el acceso y protección pública de la vivienda

El problema que aborda esta investigación es la política de protección pública a la vivienda, desde la Ley de Casas Barata, de 1991 hasta nuestros días.
Aunque a lo largo de la historia, ciertamente la humanidad en su conjunto no ha podido nunca suministrarse un cobijo satisfactorio, en estos momentos, tal permanente frustración resulta singularmente insoportable para la conciencia de hombre moderno que se siente orgulloso dominador de la fuerzas naturales y capaz progresivamente de ponerlas al servicio de sus propias necesidades vitales.
El problema de la vivienda es uno de los retos que arrastra nuestra sociedad desde hace demasiados años. La diversidad y la complejidad de variantes y aspectos del problema coadyuva, si cabe, a acrecentar su gravedad (fenómenos legislativos, económicos, políticos y sociales).
En el estado en que se ha venido desarrollando la política de una parte, y el subsector de la vivienda por otro, en las últimas décadas, consideramos que no tiene cabida un mercado de viviendas impoluto de la mano pública.
Esta constatación implica una revisión crítica de la política en viviendas en general, así como de los instrumentos y Entes implicados en su desarrollo.
En definitiva, el intervencionismo de la Administración Pública en la satisfacción de las necesidades ciudadanas de vivienda es hoy irreversible. Esta intervención debe volcarse en la consecución de unos resultados y desarrollarse a través de la utilización, previamente planificada, de todos los instrumentos disponibles.

The problem which this investigation approaches is the policy of public protection to the housing since the Law of Cheap Houses dated 1911 till nowadays.
Even if during the whole history the humanity altogether has never really been able to provide itself a satisfactory shelter, at present such a permanent frustration results specially unbearable for the conscience of the modern man who feels himself proud of dominating the natural forces and able little by little to put them at the service of his own vital needs.
The housing problem is one of the challenges which our society suffers since too many years. The diversity and complexity of the problem variations and aspects contribute to increase still more its seriousness (legislative, economical, political a social phenomenon).
In view of the way in which the policy has been developed from one side and the housing economical subsector from another in the last decades, we consider that a completely clean housing market by the public hand is quite impossible.
This observation means a critical checking of the housing policy in general as well as of the instruments and Bodies involved in its development.
In short the intervention of the Public Administration in the satisfaction of the citizen needs for housing is nowadays irreversible. This intervention must insist to obtain some results and develop itself through the previously planned use of all available instruments.
