The Problem of Rabies Vaccination in Children; an Analysis of Children Bitten by Rabid and Rabid-Suspected-Animals
Authors: Munir Muzief
Published: September 2023

The analysis of 234 Children, under 14 years of age, with the diagnosis of an animal bite was carried out in an attempt to find out problems of rabies vaccination in the children.

One of the most important factors in eliminating or at least greatly reducing rabies, is the public dissemination of information concerning not only the danger of unbzjected animals, but how rabies can be prevented or terminated if treated immediately.

Two ml of NTV was given for 14 consecutive days regardless of Â·the age of the victims, the site and the severity of the wounds, and the time span between the bite and the start of vaccinaton. ARS was never used regardless of the site and the severity of the wounds.

It is clearly seen from this analysis that the regime used in this report is safe and effective enough to prevent the victims from contracting rabies as long as the vaccination can be started within 10 days after being bitten. ARS must be given to the victims with head or back bites when the lapse of time between the bite and the start of vaccination is more than 10 days and can justifiably be instituted in arm and leg bite victims when the time span between the bite and the start of vaccinaion is more than 21 days.

Published: September 2023

A new formula of oral rehydration solution (kristalyte R) with the following composition: Na 51.2, K 25.0, C/ 37.5, Citrate 57.5 mEq/L, dextrose 100 and sucrose 52.0 mMol/L with the osmolality of 323 mOsm/L were tried in 21 acute infantile gastroenteritis with mild and moderate dehydration. The age of the patients varied from 2.5 to 36 months with the average of 13.4 months.

As a control were used 21 children with the same age, same diagnosis and same nutritional state treated with oralyte with the composition of Na 90, K 15, Cl 75, HC03 30 mEq/L and glucose 120 mMol/L with the osmolality of 330 mOsm/L.

Clinical observation and chemical observation were done before and after rehydration which usually occurred after 24 hours of treatment.

Stool culture, W BC count and urinalysis were done on admission only.

The results of the trial revealed that in kristalyte group better results were obtained in gaining the body weight, reducing the frequency of diarrhoea or fluid loss, acceptance of the solution and reducing the risk of periorbital oedema.

No hypernatremia and neurological manifestations were found in both groups and all of the children were discharged on the third day in good condition.

On how the ECT fuels the fossil fuel economy: Rockhopper v Italy as a case study
Authors: Arcuri Alessandra
Published: September 2023

The central thesis of this article is that the Energy Charter Treaty can be deployed to expand the fossil fuel industry’s rights and contextually counter democratic forces that animate the ecological transition. More specifically, the article shows the entanglement between the suppression of ecological democracy and the expansion of fossil rights. To offer a more granular understanding of how the Energy Charter Treaty empowers the fossil industry, this article zooms in on the case of Rockhopper v Italy. The case was launched in 2017 by the UK company Rockhopper against the Italian Republic because the latter denied a production concession for offshore oil drilling off the coast of Italy. After a long process of resistance from local communities, in 2016, the Italian government adopted a law of general applicability banning offshore drilling within 12 nautical miles of the coast. Drawing on political theory, this article conceptualises people’s successful forms of resistance to the oil extractivist project as ecological democracy. By unpacking the main facts underpinning this case and the legal reasoning in the award, the article shows how the Rockhopper award has bestowed new property rights on the fossil fuel investor while contextually compressing democratic spaces vital for the ecological transition.
Targeting H3N2 Influenza Virus RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase by Using Bioactives from Essential Oils from Eucalyptus polybrachtea, Cymbopogon citratus and Cymbopogon khasianus
Authors: Sharma Arun Dev , Kaur Inderjeet
Published: September 2023

A dramatic surge of H3N2 influenza virus is of grave concern worldwide and particularly in India. H3N2 cause acute respiratory infection, however, a few drugs are available for its mitigation. Subsequently, researchers have been involved in efforts to discover novel antiviral mechanisms that can lay the basis for new anti-influenza drugs. Influenza virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRP) is a multi-functional hetero-trimer, implicated in the production of viral mRNA, hence plays a major role in viral infectivity thus directly associated with survival of the virus. RdRP have been cited as anappropriate target for therapeutic drug design. In the present study molecular docking was designed to estimate the effect of potent bioactive moleculesfrom essential oils from Eucalyptus polybrachtea (eucalyptus oil, EO), Cymbopogon citratus (lemon grass essential oil, LEO) and Cymbopogon khasianus (palmarosa essential oil, PEO) against RdRP protein. GC-FID (gas chromatography with flame-ionization detection) based composition profile, and in-silico docking study was conducted by using CB-dock 2 analysis followed by 2D interactions. GC-FID revealed eucalyptol, geranial and geraniolas major phytocompounds in EO, LEO and PEO respectively. The docking score indicated effective binding of ligands to RdRP. Interactions results indicated that, RdRP/ligand complexes form hydrogen, van der waals forces, pi-alkyl, alkyl, and pi-Sigma interactions. Based on above findings of aroma profile and docking, therefore, it was recommended that essential oils from above mentioned aromatic cropsmay represent potential herbal treatment to mitigate H3N2 infections.

Published: September 2023

Endophytic fungi are important components of plant micro-ecosystems and they exist usually inside the healthy tissues of living plants. Endophytes possess encouraging source of biologically active metabolites for pharmaceutical applications. This study isolated endophytic fungi from Pteridium acquilinium and Newbouldia laevis leaves and evaluated their antioxidant and antibacterial activities. A total of ten endophytic fungal species were isolated from the leaves of the plants, from which six were selected and identified, including; Epicoccum thailandicum; Trichoderma atroviride; Lasiodiplodia parva; Trichoderma yunnanense; Colletotrichum cobbittiense; and, Trichoderma crissum. Among the isolated fungi, Trichoderma crissum (266.2956 ± 84.84 µg/ml) and Lasiodiplodia parva (293.0755 ± 64.95 µg/ml) showed significant scavenging activity on comparison with ascorbic acid. Furthermore, the isolated endophytes showed potential antibacterial activity against the tested clinical pathogens. This study validates that endophytic fungi dwelling in the inner tissue of medicinal plants studied could be a potential source of biologically active metabolites with free radical scavenging activities and also for treatment of infectious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Escherichia coli.

Published: September 2023

Turkey berry (Solanum torvum Swartz) is a wild plant often found in Indonesia and its usage is still limited. Turkey berry has a high potential as a source of antioxidants, which can be consumed as a functional drink. Ginger and butterfly pea flowers were selected as additional ingredients in composite drinks to enhance the quality of the functional drink in terms of function and sensory characteristics. This study aimed to determine the effects of variations in the concentration of turkey berry, butterfly pea flower, and ginger on the physical, chemical, and organoleptic characteristics. The design method used a Simple Randomized Block Design with four treatment combinations to be analyzed in three repetitions. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to determine the effects of the treatment. The results showed that turkey berry, in combination with ginger and butterfly pea flower, had a significant effect on the physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics, including pH, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidants, color, aroma, taste, and preference.
3D Heterogeneous Database for Structural Analysis of Historic Buildings. A Discussion on Process Pipelines
Authors: Malik Umair Shafqat , Garzulino Andrea , Del Curto Davide
Published: September 2023

This paper presents a methodology for creating a comprehensive heterogeneous 3D database for the structural evaluation of a historic building by using both non-destructive and destructive surveys combined with historical information. The availability of adequate data on the actual conditions is crucial when assessing the seismic vulnerability and structural behavior of a historic building and validating the results. A reliable 3D database must accept different kinds of data, e.g., the results of destructive/non-destructive surveys, historical information, etc. It must also be interrogated and enriched at any time. Therefore, creating such a 3D database may present several challenges in terms of data-gathering pipeline, comprehensiveness/redundancy, interpretation, organization, and integration with other heterogeneous data. The methodology we present in this paper includes 3D laser scanning, thermal imaging, and endoscopy combined with information regarding the state of conservation, construction history, materials, and techniques. We tested such methodology to create a database that was later used for Finite Element Modeling (FEM) to assess the seismic vulnerability of Diotti Palace, a neoclassical building that has been the seat of the Prefect of Milan since 1859. The results are analytically presented here. In conclusion, we highlight the pros and cons of the proposed methodology by means of a comparative discussion with the state of the art about 3D documentation pipelines for historic buildings and sites.

Published: September 2023

It is essential to revisit the global biodiversity, search for ethnopharmacologically relevant plants, and unveil their untapped potential to overcome the complications associated while treating infections triggered by multiple antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don of the Apocynaceae family is a medicinal plant used for remedial purposes against infectious diseases from ancient times. In this study, we intended to evaluate the mechanism by which the ethanolic extract of C. roseus root (EECRR) causes the reversal of ampicillin resistance in S. aureus. To achieve this goal, we have stained EECRR-treated S. aureus with acridine orange, analysed DNA damage by comet assay, and studied the alteration of plasmid band pattern and expression of penicillin-binding protein 2a (PBP2a) protein. Experiments revealed better S. aureus killing efficiency of EECRR at its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) doses due to DNA damage and reducing plasmid band intensities along with a decline in the expression of PBP2a in EECRR-treated cells at half-MIC dose. EECRR proved to be an efficient growth inhibitor of S. aureus that reduces the expression of PBP2a. Therefore, EECRR can also render ampicillin-resistant S. aureus susceptible to the antibiotic.

In the current study, we used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to investigate and analyze the methanolic extract of Salvia rosmarinus leaves. HPLC analysis showed that the extract revealed a diverse array of polyphenolic compounds, including apigenin, catechin, chlorogenic acid, cinnamic acid, caffeic acid, coumaric acid, daidzein, ellagic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, hesperetin, kaempferol, methyl gallate, naringenin, pyrocatechol, quercetin, rutin, syringic acid, and vanillin. Furthermore, three fungal isolates from symptomatic strawberry plants were obtained and identified as Botrytis cinerea (OR116486), Fusarium oxysporum (OR116505), and Rhizoctonia solani (OR116525). The extract’s antifungal activity was evaluated at concentrations of 0, 50, 150, 200, and 300 µg/mL. At 200 µg/mL, the extract showed growth inhibition percentages of 74.56, 58.19, and 56.67% for R. solani, F. oxysporum, and B. cinerea, respectively, while at 300 µg/mL, all the tested fungi were completely suppressed. The GC–MS analysis revealed that the major compounds of the methanolic extract identified based on their retention times and relative peak areas (%) included β-caryophyllene (12.06%), germacrene d (13.55%), caryophyllene oxide (3.13%), methyl palmitate (5.26%), hexadecanoic acid (4.9%), and methyl stearate (6.02%). These results show rosemary extract’s potential as a source of natural antifungal agents against plant photogenic fungi. As a result, it provides a safer alternative to the current protective approaches for plant disease management.

Published: September 2023

The energy management system is established in the microgrid system for optimally integrating the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and generating the power distribution grids. At last, diverse mechanisms have been highly concentrated on cost reduction and at the same time, both the technical indices and economic factors are considered. Thus, this research work suggests a new heuristic algorithm termed Modified Sandpiper optimization algorithm (M-SOA) for optimal integration of DER-like Photo Voltaic (PV), wind turbines, and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) into microgrids. Here, the techno-economical optimization with ISOA is designed for determining the optimal capacity of PV, Wind Turbine, and ESS via the multi-objective function concerning measures like network power losses, voltage fluctuations, Electricity Supply Costs, initial cost, operation cost, fuel cost, and demand side management. Finally, the optimal energy management is done on distributed energy resources, and this developed model experiments on the IEEE-33 bus network. Throughout the result analysis, the developed M-SOA obtains 3.84 %, 0.98 %, 5.72 %, and 4.63 % better performance with less latency than the AGTO, BOA, WOA, and SOA. Finally, the result evaluation is done for minimizing the Electricity Supply Costs, initial cost, operation cost, and fuel cost and maximize energy efficiency.

Authors: Su Xiaoxing
Published: September 2023

The power grid (referred to as PG for convenience) structure is becoming increasingly complex. Aiming at the problem that it is difficult for traditional PG monitoring methods to accurately detect PG faults, an intelligent PG fault monitoring system is constructed using Internet of Things (IoT) and geographic information system (GIS) to improve the effectiveness of fault monitoring. The sensor equipment is used to collect the current information in the circuit, and the change of induced current is used to judge the cause of the fault, and the fault information is transmitted to the monitoring center through communication technology. The staff can directly locate the geographical location of the fault in the visual interface. One hundred overhead lines of Xianyang Power Supply Company are selected for analysis, and the performance of the traditional PG monitoring method and intelligent PG fault monitoring system is compared. The average fault detection accuracy of the traditional PG monitoring method and the system proposed in this article is 72.0 and 94.8%, respectively. The average fault location accuracy of the traditional PG monitoring method and this system is 80.8 and 96.5%, respectively. The intelligent monitoring system of PG fault based on IoT and GIS has high accuracy in PG fault detection and fault location, which can improve the effectiveness of fault monitoring.

P2Y6Receptor-Dependent Microglial Phagocytosis of Synapses during Development Regulates Synapse Density and Memory
Authors: Dundee Jacob M. , Puigdellívol Mar , Butler Richard , Brown Guy C.
Published: September 2023

During brain development, excess synapses are pruned (i.e., removed), in part by microglial phagocytosis, and dysregulated synaptic pruning can lead to behavioral deficits. The P2Y6receptor (P2Y6R) is known to regulate microglial phagocytosis of neurons, and to regulate microglial phagocytosis of synapses in cell culture andin vivoduring aging. However, currently it is unknown whether P2Y6R regulates synaptic pruning during development. Here, we show that P2Y6R KO mice of both sexes had strongly reduced microglial internalization of synaptic material, measured as Vglut1 within CD68-staining lysosomes of microglia at postnatal day 30 (P30), suggesting reduced microglial phagocytosis of synapses. Consistent with this, we found an increased density of synapses in the somatosensory cortex and the CA3 region and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus at P30. We also show that adult P2Y6R KO mice have impaired short- and long-term spatial memory and impaired short- and long-term recognition memory compared with WT mice, as measured by novel location recognition, novel object recognition, and Y-maze memory tests. Overall, this indicates that P2Y6R regulates microglial phagocytosis of synapses during development, and this contributes to memory capacity.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe P2Y6receptor (P2Y6R) is activated by uridine diphosphate released by neurons, inducing microglial phagocytosis of such neurons or synapses. We tested whether P2Y6R regulates developmental synaptic pruning in mice and found that P2Y6R KO mice have reduced synaptic material within microglial lysosomes, and increased synaptic density in the brains of postnatal day 30 mice, consistent with reduced synaptic pruning during development. We also found that adult P2Y6R KO mice had reduced memory, consistent with persistent deficits in brain function, resulting from impaired synaptic pruning. Overall, the results suggest that P2Y6R mediates microglial phagocytosis of synapses during development, and the absence of this results in memory deficits in the adult.
Strong business–state alliances at the expense of labour rights in Ethiopia’s apparel-exporting industrial parks
Authors: Ali Mohammed Seid , Ademe Solomon Molla
Published: September 2023

In the past decade, Ethiopia has demonstrated a strong ideological convention to the East-Asian model of ‘developmental state’, which stands for state-led industrialisation as its underlying industrial policy premise. Nevertheless, the labour rights externalities of this industrial policymaking have been overlooked in the existing academic and practical policy debates. Hence, using qualitative empirical data, the article attempts to address the research gap by analysing why and how Ethiopia’s state-led industrialisation and the corporate behaviours of apparel-exporting firms, as well as their respective global brand buyers, have contributed to the existing poverty wages and repressive practices against the associational rights of local industrial workers at those selected apparel-exporting industrial parks of the country. The maxim of industrialisation with a human face has increasingly become a promising alternative to the neoclassical intellectual view of labour relations following its fundamentals towards achieving a more sustainable industrial development in a given state. In light of this human right imperative, the finding revealed Ethiopia’s stateled industrialisation has firmly embraced strong business-state alliances, thereby curbing the power of local industrial workers. The Ethiopian government employs diverse de facto or de jure labour control mechanisms across those selected apparel-exporting industrial parks of the country. This is manifested through poverty wages and repressive measures todeny the associational rights of workers. Further, the flawed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of employing firms and their respective global brands have contributed to the ongoing labour abuses across those selected apparel-exporting firms. Hence, Ethiopia’s industrial policy is expected to navigate a reasonable balance between facilitating industrial catch-up and ensuring labour standards for more viable and sustainable labour relations.
TRASLUCIR LA CATEDRAL ROMÁNICA DE GIRONA: PRIMICIAS EN LA RECEPCIÓN DEL ARTE DE LA VIDRIERA EN LA PENÍNSULA IBÉRICA
Authors: Boto Varela Gerardo
Published: September 2023

En 2019, a raíz de la restauración del retablo renacentista de Antoni Coll instalado en la capilla del Corpus Christi, en su día advocada a San Martín y San Francisco, de la catedral de Santa María de Girona fue hallada una singular vidriera. La esmerada restauración llevada a cabo en los años 2020 y 2021 ha devuelto la luminosidad a unas piezas de valor extraordinario que habían quedado obliteradas por el enmascaramiento. La vidriera en cuestión es el resultado de una reutilización de piezas del gótico más temprano combinadas con otras de la primera generación del gótico internacional, conjugación llevada a cabo presuntamente en torno a 1400. Los vidrios más antiguos de esta ventana, fechables en el primer cuarto del siglo XIII, son por tanto coetáneos de las cuatro precoces vidrieras del monasterio de Las Huelgas (Burgos). Unas y otras cristaleras son resultado de la implantación y organización de sendos talleres de vidrieros de origen ultrapirenaico. La llegada de artífices aquitanos y picardos se superpone a la preexistencia de vidrieros en algún lugar de Cataluña, hacia 1200 o poco antes, si aceptamos la atribución a ese territorio de un vitral conservado en el Worcester Art Museum.

El sentido de Cataluña como nación: el nacionalismo catalán tras la STC 31/2010
Authors: Marcos Méndez Daniel
Published: September 2023

La cuestión del nacionalismo catalán ha sido históricamente un tema muy controvertidoen la política española. Aunque relevante y debatido durante décadas, podemos observar cambiossignifi cativos en su dinámica a lo largo de los años. La Constitución Española de 1978 establecióla actual organización territorial de España como el «Estado de las Autonomías», inicialmenteapoyado por el movimiento nacionalista catalán. Sin embargo, este apoyo ha ido disminuyendogradualmente hasta convertirse en una oposición fl agrante. Más recientemente, el nacionalismocatalán ha evolucionado hasta convertirse en un movimiento completamente secesionista. Unejemplo evidente de ello es el referéndum celebrado el 1-O de 2017, así como las protestas ycontroversias que lo rodearon. Este cambio de paradigma no ha sido una deriva repentina, sinouna transición paulatina de la percepción social del Estado de las Autonomías y de cómo laadministración territorial española afecta a Cataluña. Este trabajo explora cómo la STC 31/2010infl uyó en este cambio social y político.

Al momento de su nacimiento, las repúblicas hispanoamericanas se enfrentaron al problema de la delimitación exacta de sus fronteras. La remisión a los límites de la Monarquía Española ha sido una solución insufi ciente porque estaban redactados con una imprecisión que no satisface los estándares modernos. Para la resolución de estos confl ictos, España se encontraba en una posición de ventaja para infl uir en estas naciones, y así hizo en varias ocasiones. Pero el Laudo de París de 1899, que decidió la soberanía de casi 160.000 km2 entre Venezuela y la Guayana Británica –colonia del Reino Unido– fue uno de aquellos en los que no intervino España, y es altamente controvertido. El doble propósito de la investigación indagar en las razones que motivaron el cambio de tendencia de España y evaluar la verosimilitud de las críticas que se vierten sobre el Laudo.
Estado del arte de la gestión del estacionamiento
Authors: Hurtado Cortes Aida Esperanza
Published: September 2023

El tránsito en las ciudades se ha convertido en uno de los mayores problemas a resolver por las administraciones locales. En un principio, se intentó solucionar estas situaciones con la implementación de mayor oferta de vías, pero esta estrategia generó mayores demandas. El aumento del parque de automóviles y el indiscriminado deseo de usarlos —por razones de estatus, comodidad y, actualmente, por razones de bioseguridad— ejercen una creciente presión no solo sobre la capacidad de las vías, sino también en el ordenamiento urbano. Las soluciones deben ir orientadas a mover personas y bienes y no vehículos. Se trata, entonces, de influenciar la selección del modo de transporte que favorezca los modos más sostenibles y de reforzar y dar soporte a los procesos de planeación integrada del uso del suelo. En este concepto se incluyen las medidas de administración al estacionamiento, como una de las medidas más importantes y evaluadas en todo el mundo. Este artículo es una aproximación a las diferentes alternativas de gestionar el uso y construcción de estacionamientos y busca generar reflexiones y conclusiones para dirigir las políticas y estrategias en la dirección correcta.
La ambigüedad del mundo material. Índices sobre la estable variación de la materia a partir de Edmund Husserl
Authors: Johnson Felipe
Published: September 2023

A partir de los análisis de la cosa perceptiva en la obra de Husserl, se indagará el mundo material como suelo en el cual nuestra vida práctica se sostiene. A partir de sus objeciones al empirismo de Locke, se cuestiona la certeza de la actitud natural sobre la aceptación de una realidad autónoma, para rebatir la noción de un mundo en sí que nos afecta. De este modo, un examen del mundo fenoménico señala que su materia es una dimensión no homogénea ni completa, subrayando una estable variación de las cosas. Con ello, se detecta una ambigüedad esencial según la cual estas se nos ofrecen como apoyo de nuestra praxis.

La huella ecológica (he) es un indicador para estimar la superficie productiva requerida en términos de consumo de recursos y asimilación de desechos de una población, la cual se ha adaptado a distintas escalas y propósitos. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el concepto, la metodología y las modificaciones de la he en tres grupos de interés: análisis de ciclo de vida (acv), corporaciones y ciudades. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de literatura con la base de datos de Scopus, por medio del protocolo prisma, desde 1992 al 2021. La búsqueda inicial incluyó 1.353 escritos y se analizaron 42 por su relevancia. Los resultados para los tres ejes de análisis fueron los siguientes: el acv se alinea con la iso 14040 y se enriquece con la he; en las corporaciones se utiliza mayormente el método compuesto de cuentas contables (mc3), de acuerdo con el tamaño y giro de la corporación; en las ciudades la problemática es la falta de información específica para medirla. Se identificó que el concepto original de he de Wackernagel y Rees es el más citado. La contribución principal de este trabajo es dar cuenta de las adaptaciones del concepto a acv, corporaciones y ciudades, mostrando su vigencia como indicador. Los resultados se limitan a una sola base de datos para la revisión.
Unread, yet preserved: A case study on survival of the 19th-century printed poetry
Authors: Martynenko Antonina
Published: September 2023

Distant reading promises access to "the great unread", which should allow scholars to rethink the history of literature. However, the rise in volume of data does not guarantee the understanding of a corpus and its relation to the literary population. This article discusses how a "complete" corpus of the 19th-century poetry books in Russian might be collected with account for historical data and potential survivorship bias. Even if bibliographical sources cannot provide a complete list of books printed in a given period, the amount of "incompleteness" can be directly estimated with the unseen species models. The estimation of survival ratios for printed poetry shows differences in the loss rate across different types of sources: with conventional editions, like books and anthologies, are well-preserved, while booklets and pamphlets are the largest expected source of loss. These findings allow us to estimate what an "exhaustive" corpus can look like and define the features of "the unread" and "unseen" inside it.
Sistema de chagra en suelos degradados en una comunidad ticuna de la Amazonia colombiana

Published: September 2023

El sistema de roza-tumba y quema, denominado localmente como la chagra, es el sistema de cultivo más utilizado por las culturas indígenas del Amazonas. Es un sistema de policultivo itinerante, transitorio y de subsistencia. Para ser sostenible, este método requiere que las zonas cultivadas tengan un periodo de reposo lo suficientemente largo que permita la recuperación natural de la fertilidad de los suelos. Dada la presión por zonas disponibles para la producción en resguardos densamente poblados, estos periodos de reposo no se cumplen, lo que compromete la sostenibilidad de este sistema productivo tradicional y por ende la soberanía alimentaria de la población de estas comunidades. Son pocos los estudios que han abordado las causas y cómo ocurre el proceso de sobreexplotación de los suelos en comunidades indígenas de América Latina, así como las alternativas que estas comunidades desarrollan para afrontar este problema. El objetivo de este trabajo fue documentar y evaluar las características del sistema de chagra y del estado de los suelos en una comunidad ticuna del Amazonas colombiano con alta densidad poblacional y alta presión sobre el suelo para la producción agrícola. Se encontró que las áreas de producción dentro del resguardo se han reducido y los suelos tienen deficiencias nutricionales para desarrollar la agricultura. Por ello, la mitad de las áreas de cultivo se encuentran en áreas privadas aledañas al resguardo en donde obtienen una mayor área disponible para cultivos y experimentan con el uso de abonos orgánicos para mejorar los suelos de las zonas de cultivo, y mantener su producción. Se concluye que las alternativas implementadas no han garantizado ni garantizarán la sostenibilidad de este sistema tradicional de cultivo, con implicaciones negativas en la seguridad alimentaria de la comunidad.

Published: September 2023

This work aims to analyze the process of recording and reconstructing holograms based on Denisyuk’s method, as well as calculating the power of the reference ZZZyclops camera laser beam required to record a hologram on the photopolymer film Bayfol HX200. We have studied how ultraviolet light and intense light affect the quality of holograms immediately after recording. Our experimental findings demonstrate that curing a hologram with ultraviolet light improves brightness and enhances color transfer, with better results achieved through longer  exposure times. Additionally, our experiment reveals that  strong illumination of a newly recorded hologram can  severely damage the image and distort the object’s information. We have estimated the dosage of emission absorbed by the film and compared our results with the dosages recommended by the manufacturer.
Teachers’ Agency Development When Adapting the Colombian English Suggested Curriculum for High School
Authors: Valdelamar González Cindy , Calle-Díaz Luzkarime
Published: September 2023

This case study reports how three high-school teachers from two state schools in Colombia enacted the National English Suggested Curriculum by the Ministry of Education. The teachers’ trajectories of action were analyzed through semi-structured interviews, teachers’ narratives, and lesson observations. Using the ecological model of agency as a framework, we situated teachers’ steps within projective, iterational, and practical evaluative dimensions of agency. In this paper, we provide additional dimensions of teacher agency, which can help to expand theoretical and empirical knowledge in the field. Findings show that teachers cope with the changes derived from policy differently. The analysis presented in this paper can inform the creation and promotion of future curriculum policies in similar contexts.

Introdução: o biofilme dental é uma estrutura complexa formada a partir da adesãode variadas células microbianas à película adquirida sobre a estrutura dentária. Essascélulas se aderem umas às outras enquanto sintetizam uma matriz extracelular,tornando-se uma comunidade altamente organizada, o que dificulta sua remoção epromove uma resistência aos antimicrobianos. A presença de Staphylococcus aureusno biofilme oral pode causar um desequilíbrio na microbiota facilitando o início deum processo de doença. Objetivo: avaliar a capacidade antiaderente do Eucalyptusglobulus e Eucalyptus citriodora contra cepas de Staphylococcus aureus. Resultados:foi possível observar que o óleo essencial de Eucalyptus globulus inibiu a formação dobiofilme com uma concentração inibitória mínima de aderência (CIMA) semelhanteao digluconato de clorexidina 0,12 %, ambos de 1:8. O óleo essencial de Eucalyptuscitriodora não impediu a aderência bacteriana às paredes do tubo em nenhumaconcentração avaliada. Conclusão: que apenas o óleo essencial da espécie Eucalyptusglobulus possui atividade antiaderente contra Staphylococcus aureus, podendo serutilizado como produto alternativo para controle do biofilme.
