Burns are cutaneous lesions that present  high rate of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In order to innovate the treatment strategies currently applied new biomaterials are being investigated. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the action of bacterial cellulose in both membrane and gel form, in the treatment of third degree burns in rats. For this, 24 Wistar rats were used, divided into three distinct groups. The lesion was performed with the aid of a soldering iron heated at 150 °C pressed on the back of the animal for 10 seconds. Treatment was performed immediately after wound induction, and skin samples were collected on the tenth day post-injury. Statistical analysis was performed using a significance level of 5% (p?0.05). The histological results show differences in the healing process presented by each group. The group that received bacterial cellulose in the membrane format presented the best results, such as discrete inflammatory infiltrate and better morphological quality of the tissue, characterizing an advanced stage of the healing process, also proven in the collagen quantitative analysis. On the other hand, the group that received the cellulose gel showed characteristics of an inflammatory phase with the presence of evident ulcerations, which corresponds to a delay in the healing process even when compared to CG alone. Thus, it was concluded that before the biomaterials tested cellulose membrane in the format presented more favorable results both in terms of environmental protection as a contribution to an adequate tissue recovery.

Authors: Chávez Soto Blanca Ivet , Acle Tomasini Guadalupe
Published: April 2019

Introducción. Existen diferentes factores familiares que influyen en la transformación del potencial de los alumnos con altas capacidades, los estudios han encontrado que la ocupación de los padres, el tiempo que se dedica a los niños, las prácticas de crianza y las expectativas son aspectos que intervienen en el desarrollo de las habilidades. El objetivo del trabajo fue reconocer las variables que caracterizan a los padres de alumnos con altas capacidades de educación primaria de una zona urbano marginal.Método. Se trabajó en tres escuelas primarias públicas ubicadas al oriente de la Ciudad de México. Participaron 28 niños con altas capacidades, sus padres y 24 profesores. A los alumnos se les aplicaron pruebas para evaluar su inteligencia, creatividad, compromiso con la tarea y el autoconcepto académico. Los maestros contestaron una lista de nominación y los padres respondieron una lista de cotejo para reconocer las características de las familias.Resultados. Se observó que existe un 4% de estudiantes con altas capacidades que viven en zonas vulnerables. Con la correlación de Spearman Rho, se observó que independientemente del nivel socioeconómico de los padres, ellos tratan de proveerles actividades adicionales a sus hijos para favorecer sus capacidades. La escolaridad de las madres ayuda a que busquen alternativas adicionales y de bajo costo. Asimismo, el tiempo que ellas dedican para hacer la tarea afecta de forma negativa al autoconcepto académico de los niños.Discusión y conclusión. Se logró reconocer la influencia de algunas variables familiares que favorecen el potencial de los estudiantes con altas capacidades. Es necesario continuar con este tipo de investigaciones para reconocer cuáles son las características de los padres y proveerles apoyos adicionales para lograr favorecer un óptimo desarrollo de los niños.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. Previous studies indicated that more than 70% university students committed academic procrastination, and one of the most prominent factors is learned helplessness, the perception that one is incapable of finishing tasks well. It was also hypothesized that when students believe that they are in control of their own events, their learned helplessness will not significantly predict their academic procrastination. This current study aims to test the hypothesis whether internal locus of control mediates the relationship between learned helplessness and academic procrastination among university students.Method. A total of 240 university students were randomly recruited to participate in this current study. Duttweiller’s Internal Control Scale was utilized to measure the internal locus of control, Pure Procrastination Scale (adapted for academic setting) was employed to measure the academic procrastination level and Learned Helplessness Scale was used to measure the level of learned helplessness among the participants. Multiple regression with PROCESS macros was employed to analyze the data.Results. Results indicated that learned helplessness signifcantly predicted internal locus of control, and that internal locus of control was a significant predictor of academic procrastination. These results support the mediational hypothesis. Learned helplessness was no longer a significant predictor of academic procrastination after controlling for the internal locus of control, consistent with full mediation. Approximately 21% of the variance in academic procrastination can be explained by the predictors. Indirect coefficient was significant. Learned helplessness was associated with approximately .15 points higher academic procrastination scores as mediated by internal locus of controlDiscussion and Conclusion. Internal locus of control fully mediates the influence of learned helplessness on academic procrastination. In other words, when students believe that they are in control of their events, the less likely they will procrastinate doing their tasks due to helplessness they have learned. Findings of this study suggested that procrastination in academic setting occurred due to the perception of helplessness that have been learned over time; nevertheless, the influence will not be that deteriorating towards the students when the they believe that they are responsible and in control of their events.

Published: April 2019

Introduction. In recent decades, several studies provide scientific evidence on the benefits of preventive family intervention in early childhood. However, in the Spanish context there is a shortage of interventions aimed at this population that have shown their effectiveness. In carrying out a pilot intervention for the universal family program Aprender a Convivir en Casa (ACC) with a Spanish population, the objective of this study was to ascertain its effectiveness in developing social competence and in reducing behavioral problems in preschoolers. Method. The sample involved 18 parents, all with children in early childhood education aged from 3 to 5 years old (Mage = 4.48 years, SDage = 0.50) from a school in Granada (Spain). 9 were placed in the experimental group and 9 in the control group. Participants were allocated to groups by accidental and non-probability sampling. The children in the experimental group were assigned to this group if their parents had attended more than 80% of the program sessions. Results. The results indicate both a main effect of the time variable (pre-test and post-test) and interaction effects between time x group variables (control and experimental) in the variables of social cooperation, social interaction and for social competence as a whole, with the experimental group obtaining higher scores in the post-test phase. With regard to behavior problems, the results show main and interaction effects in attention problems and in externalizing behavior problems. In the other variables analyzed, no significant main or interaction effects were found. Discussion and Conclusions. Intervention with families is an important protective factor in the prevention of behavioral problems. The results observed after the pilot implementation of the ACC program are promising, in that they show the promotion of social competence and the reduction of some behavioral problems in children from the participating families. However, there are some limitations in the study that need to be taken into consideration.
Sonic Modernity and Decolonizing Countersounds in the Poetry of Urayoán Noel
Authors: Ginsburg Samuel
Published: April 2019

Urayoán Noel’s poetry has garnered much attention for its promotion of hemispheric politics and poetics, along with its interrogation of technology’s structural and narrative interventions into diasporic cultures. This article investigates the role of sound in the Puerto Rican poet’s articulation of contemporary struggles against overwhelming hypertechnology. The analysis focuses on three poems: “Lino: Employee of the Month,” fromKool Logic/La lógica kool(2005); “babel o city (el gran concurso),” fromHi-density Politics(2010); and the live-recorded version of “Boringkén,” fromBoringkén(2008). Drawing on Aldama’s (2013) concept of poetic estrangement and Dowdy’s (2013) analysis of Latinx poetic critiques of neoliberalism, this article examines how exclusionary soundscapes are built through repressive understandings of sonic modernity, and how countersounds attempt to decolonize those spaces. Noel’s poetry shows how creative voices and the reappropriation of sound technologies can help position the diasporic subject and subvert dominant sonic structures.
Living in Gang-Controlled Neighborhoods: Impacts on Electoral and Nonelectoral Participation in El Salvador
Authors: Córdova Abby
Published: April 2019

Gangs’ territorial control affects the lives of residents in thousands of neighborhoods across Latin America, particularly in northern Central American countries. I argue that gang dominance constrains the ability of neighborhood residents to mobilize politically and consequently resist gang violence through institutionalized channels. Living in gang-controlled neighborhoods results in fewer incentives and opportunities to make political elites accountable for one’s personal safety. Even residents who have already experienced crime firsthand are discouraged from turning to politics as a strategy to change the status quo. My theoretical insights identify mechanisms through which gangs’ neighborhood control affects nonelectoral and electoral participation. To test my hypotheses, I rely on census and public opinion data collected in seventy-one neighborhoods in El Salvador. This article offers the first systematic statistical analysis of the effect of gangs’ territorial control on political participation in the Latin American context. The findings suggest that living under gang rule undermines residents’ right to engage freely in politics in nuanced ways.

Authors: Makary Mina S , Awan Usama , Puduvalli Vinay K , Slone Hasel W
Published: April 2019

Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome is a rare, reversible phenomenon that occurs several years after radiotherapy in patients treated for intracranial neoplastic lesions. Patients typically present with symptoms of headache, seizures, and other focal neurologic deficits concerning for stroke or disease recurrence. In this report, we describe SMART syndrome in a 70-year-old male who developed a persistent right temporal headache, right-sided neck pain, and new-onset seizures 12 years after surgical resection of a temporal anaplastic ependymoma followed by irradiation. We present this case to highlight typical disease presentation, imaging characteristics, and important differential radiologic considerations. Recognition of this delayed complication of brain tumor radiation is paramount given its self-limited course and favorable response to conservative therapy and to avoid misinterpreting imaging findings as tumor recurrence.

Portret polskich millenialsów w twórczości muzycznej Taco Hemingwaya
Authors: Kołodziejczak Karolina , Smoter Katarzyna
Published: April 2019

Celem artykułu jest rekonstrukcja obrazu polskich millenialsów w piosenkach Taco Hemingwaya. Ukazano tu wyniki analiz zrealizowanych metodą analizy treści w paradygmacie interpretatywnym. Ich przedmiotem stały się teksty piosenek zawarte na mini albumach “Trójkąt warszawski” (2014) i “Umowa o dzieło” (2015). Z analizowanych tekstów wyłania się obraz przedstawicieli pokolenia Millenium postrzeganych jako konsumenci, osoby ambiwalentne (z jednej strony, mocno sceptyczne, z drugiej – idealistyczne), „cyfrowych tubylców”, „poszukiwaczy wrażeń” i prekariuszy. Analiza treści piosenek Autora, który określa się “głosem pokolenia, które nie ma nic do powiedzenia” stanowi ważny przyczynek do podjęcia refleksji na temat charakterystyk millenialsów, ich potrzeb, wyznawanych przez nich opinii i poglądów. Przedstawiony problem rodzi także implikacje pedagogiczne – tym samym, znaczące staje się zasygnalizowanie pewnych obszarów naukowej refleksji.

Tuning the Activities of Cu2O Nanostructures via the Oxide-Metal Interaction
Authors: Huang Wugen , Li Yangsheng , Wang Yong , Tu Yunchuan , Deng Dehui , Yang Fan
Published: April 2019

Despite tremendous importance in catalysis, the design and improvement of the oxide- metal interface has been hampered by the limited understanding on the nature of interfacial sites, as well as the oxide-metal interaction (OMI). Through the construction of well-defined Cu2O-Pt, Cu2O-Ag, Cu2O-Au interfaces, we found that Cu2O Nanostructures (NSs) on Pt exhibit much lower thermal stability than on Ag and Au, although they show the same surface and edge structures, as identified by element-specific scanning tunneling microscopy (ES-STM) images. The activities of the Cu2O-Pt and Cu2O-Au interfaces for CO oxidation were further compared at the atomic scale and showed in general that the interface with Cu2O NSs could annihilate the CO-poisoning problem suffered by Pt group metals and enhance the interaction with O2, which is a limiting step for CO oxidation catalysis on group IB metals. While both interfaces could react with CO at room temperature, the OMI was found to determine the reactivity of supported Cu2O NSs by 1) tuning the activity of interfacial oxygen atoms and 2) stabilizing oxygen vacancies or vice versa, the dissociated oxygen atoms at the interface. Our study provides new insight for OMI and for the development of Cu-based catalysts for low temperature oxidation reactions.
Lanthanoid Coordination with a Tetrazole-Substituted Calix[4]diquinone and Calix[4]dihydroquinone

Published: April 2019

The tetrazole-functionalised calixdiquinone 5,17-di-tert-butyl-26,28-bis-(tetrazol-5-ylmethoxy)- calix[4]-25,27-diquinone Q was synthesised by chemical oxidation of the bis-tetrazole calix[4]arene precursor using PbO2/HClO4. The single crystal X-ray structure determination of Q confirmed the structure and showed binding of a water molecule in the solid state. Chemical reduction of Q to the dihydroquinone QR was achieved using N,N-diethylhydroxylamine. Comparison of the solution phase photophysical properties of Q or QR in the presence of terbium ions showed significant excitation only with QR, suggesting redox switching of the photophysical response may be possible with this or similar receptors.
Adsorption of Provisional Matrix Proteins, Fibrinogen and Fibronectin, on Elastomeric Poly(butylene Succinate) Copolyesters
Authors: Sobolewski Peter , Murthy N. Sanjeeva , Kohn Joachim , El Fray Miroslawa
Published: April 2019

Proteins adsorbed onto biomaterial surfaces facilitate cell-material interactions, including adhesion and migration. Of particular importance are provisional matrix components, fibrinogen (Fg) and fibronectin (Fn), which play an important role in the wound healing process. Here, to assess the potential of a series of elastomeric poly(butylene succinate) copolymers for soft tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications, we examined the adsorption of Fg and Fn. We prepared spin-coated thin films of poly(butylene succinate) homopolymer and a series of elastomeric poly(butylene succinate) copolymers with butylene succinate (PBS, hard segment) to succinate-dimer linoleic diol units (DLS, soft segments) weight ratios of 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. X-ray diffraction was used to assess crystallinity, while the obtained thin films were characterized using quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Protein adsorption was assessed using QCM-D, followed by data analysis using viscoelastic modeling. On all three copolymers, we observed robust adsorption of both key provisional matrix proteins. Importantly, for both proteins, viscoelastic modeling determined that the adlayers were 30–40 nm thick and had low shear modulus values (<25 kPa), thus indicating soft orientations (end-on for Fg) or conformations (open for Fn) of the hydrated proteins. Overall, our results are very encouraging, as they predict excellent cell adhesion and migration, key features enabling tissue integration of potential PBS-DLS scaffolds.

Published: April 2019

The aim of this study was to compare muscle oxygenation of the vastus lateralis during a high-volume isokinetic resistance exercise protocol (HVP) between young adult (YA) and middle-aged adult (MA) men. Twenty recreationally trained men were assigned to either the YA (age 21.8±2.0 years, body mass 90.7±11.6 kg, body height 179±4.7 cm) or MA (age 47.0±4.4 years, body mass 96.1±21.6 kg, body height 177±7.7 cm) group. The HVP consisted of eight sets of 10 repetitions of unilateral isokinetic concentric knee extension and eccentric knee flexion at 60°·s-1. Changes in tissue hemoglobin saturation index (TSI), tissue oxygenated hemoglobin concentration (O2Hb), deoxygenated hemoglobin (HHb), and muscle oxidation index (O2Hb-HHb) were measured during the exercise session using the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Data were analyzed using two-way mix factorial analyses of variance. Prior to exercise, TSI was significantly greater (p=.024) for YA compared to MA. Significant decreases in O2Hb and O2Hb-HHb and increases in HHb were observed during each of the eight sets relative to the rest periods (p<.05) for both groups. The average change during the eight sets of the HVP revealed a significantly higher (p=.036) level of HHb and a lower (p=.029) level of O2Hb-HHb for MA compared to YA. A significant negative correlation was also noted at baseline between O2Hb-HHb index and the cross-sectional area of the vastus lateralis muscle (r=-.45, p=.045). During a high- volume resistance exercise, MA experienced reduced muscle oxygen saturation levels compared to YA. These results may be attributed to reductions in local tissue oxidative capacity and reduced blood delivery occurring during middle-age, and possibly due to group differences in muscle morphology.
The Role of Job Embeddedness in “New Generation of Rural Migrant Workers” Turnover Intention in China
Authors: Meirun Tang , SooHooiSin Jennie , Wei Chuah Chin
Published: April 2019

The high voluntary turnover rates of “new generation of rural migrant workers” have been widely concerned in China. One important reason is their rural identity. The distinctive social identity has caused new generation of rural migrant workers face social identity discrimination, which further hinder the integration of values and goals between the individuals and the organizations. The values and goals gap between individuals and organizations further impact on new generation of rural migrant workers’ organizational identification, which reduce their organization embeddedness and increase turnover intention. Thus, this study seeks to explore the linkage between organization identification and turnover intention, which is mediated by organizational embeddedness. Additionally, this study also proposes the moderating effect of community embeddedness on the correlation between organization embeddedness and turnover intention. A quantitative with a survey method is proposed for this study. Data will be collected in manufacturing setting in Guizhou province of China. Multi-level sampling technique will be applied to determine the sample size.

Cognitive Theory in Action: A Discourse Analysis to a Youtube Video about Teaching
Authors: Savira Siti Ina
Published: April 2019

Video offers a richer source of data and has been proven to be useful as a primary source of research. A video from Youtube website was used as a primary source for analysis in this paper. This paper is applying a discourse analysis as suggested by Fairclough (2003) about the discourse as a way of representing; how the discourse was used to express and imply the social relation and action, and the belief committed by the user of the discourse. The analysis was aimed to identify teacher’s idea of good teaching by comparing it to relevant theories. The analysis found that cognitive-related terms were consistently appearing in the teacher’s discourses; therefore, cognitive theories were used to elaborate a deeper meaning of the discourses. It was concluded that good teaching for the teacher was to focus on students’ cognitive higher development.

“BERBAUR TAPI TIDAK LEBUR”: MEMBENTUK DAN MEMPERTAHANKAN IDENTITAS RELIGIUS PADA MAHASISWAAKTIVIS DAKWAH KAMPUS (“Mixing but not melting”: Forming and Maintaining Religious Identity among Islamic Activists on Campus)
Authors: Syafiq Muhammad
Published: April 2019

This study aimed at revealing how religious identity is formed and maintained among Islamic student activists in higher education. The implications of the religious identity on their social relations to other students and larger society were also discussed. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological method was employed. Four participants were recruited based on their long engagements in Da'wa movements in campus and significant roles they played in the movement. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. The results show three dominant themes, namely motivation to join the Da'wa movement, the process of religious identity formation, and strategies to maintain the identity. In general, this study concluded that the initial factors that encourage the participants' involvements in Da'wa movement in higher education is the desire to feel an emotional bond of kinship based on religious values. After joining the movement, most participants developed their self-perception as a 'minority' with all its consequences. Furthermore, the need to recruit as many common Muslim students as possible for joining in their 'minority community' raise the tension between maintaining their 'exclusive' identity or answering the requirement of making relations inclusively in order their religious messages to be received by wider students.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap bagaimana identitas religius aktivis dakwah kampus terbentuk, strategi untuk mempertahankan identitas tersebut, dan apa implikasinya dalam interaksi sosial aktivis dakwah. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode fenomenologi. Subjek penelitian ditentukan secara purposif dengan mempertimbangkan lama keterlibatan dan peran yang dimainkan dalam gerakan dakwah kampus. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan tiga tema dominan, yaitu motivasi bergabung dalam gerakan dakwah, pembentukan identitas aktivis dakwah, dan strategi mempertahankan identitas. Secara umum penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa faktor awal yang mendorong keterlibatan partisipan dalam gerakan dakwah adalah keinginan untuk merasakan ikatan emosional kekeluargaan yang dipersepsi sebagai 'tanpa pamrih' karena berlandaskan nilai religius. Stelah menjadi anggota komunitas dakwah, para partisipan mengembangkan persepsi diri mereka sebagai 'minoritas' dengan segala konsekuensinya. Selanjutnya, motivasi untuk mengajak sebanyak mungkin mahasiswa lain untuk bergabung dalam komunitas minoritas tersebut membuat  para aktivis dakwah berada dalam ketegangan antara tetap menjaga identitas 'eksklusif' dengan tuntunan untuk bergaul luas secara inklusif agar pesan dakwah bisa diterima.

This paper presents a conceptual idea on using psychological approaches, more specifically the use of cognitive and developmental psychology paradigm to addressing leadership crisis that is currently concerned Indonesia. Many of the discussions and posts uploaded on the websites expressed a need for leaders who are more in line with the spirit of reform, namely a credible democratic leader, who sided with the people, egalitarian, and not in ways that authoritarian decision making and policy public. Judging from the paradigm of cognitive psychology, particularly social cognition, the ability to take the perspective of others (perspective taking) plays an important role in influencing the effectiveness of democratic leadership. Therefore, one way to obtain a democratic leader in the future is to develop the ability to take another person's perspective on the younger generation. In this case the educational institution (high school and university) is considered to be the most appropriate environment to host them. From a developmental perspective, perspective taking is a skill that can be developed because it is not an innate ability. Abstrak: Tulisan ini menyajikan suatu gagasan konseptual tentang penggunaan pendekatan psikologis, lebih khusus penggunaan paradigma psikologi kognitif dan perkembangan untuk menangani permasalahan krisis kepemimpinan yang saat ini dirasakan oleh bangsa Indonesia. Banyak kegiatan diskusi dan tulisan yang diunggah di website yang menyatakan adanya kebutuhan untuk memperoleh pemimpin yang lebih sesuai dengan spirit reformasi, yakni pemimpin yang demokratis yang kredibel, yang berpihak pada rakyat, egaliter, dan tidak menggunakan cara-cara yang otoriter dalam membuat keputusan dan kebijakan publik. Dilihat dari paradigma psikologi kognitif, khususnya kognisi sosial, kemampuan mengambil perspektif orang lain memainkan peran penting dalam mempengaruhi keefektifan kepemimpinan demokratis. Oleh karena itu salah satu cara untuk memperoleh pemimpin demokratis di masa depan adalah dengan mengembangkan kemampaun mengambil perspektif orang lain pada generasi muda. Dalam hal ini lembaga pendidikan (sekolah menengah dan universitas) dipandang menjadi lingkungan paling untuk menyelenggarakannya. Dari perspektif perkembangan, kemampuan ini dapat dikembangkan karena bukan merupakan kemampuan bawaan.

This essay is aimed to discuss one contemporary issue in relation to Indonesia. The issue being raised here is globalization and its effect on how Indonesia perceived itself as a nation. This paper will argue my position in viewing globalization as a force that seems to manifest in a blind movement that rapidly change our way of life at the cost of social justice. One example I emphasize on my paper is the impact in educational paradigm, which can be seen from some educational discourses.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of autogenic training on the decrease of anxiety among Badminton athletes. Autogenic training is a training focused on suggesting the athlete’s specific part of body to get its sensations. This study used an experimental method with pretest-posttest control group design. The subject of this study were 12 athletes under 18 years old at Surabaya Hi-Qua Wima Badminton Association. Autogenic training treatment is given only in the experimental group. Data were obtained by using sport anxiety scale, adapted from Amir (2012) and developed from SAS (sport anxiety scale) and analyzed using Gain Score and Wilcoxon Test. The result showed significant score=0.027, (p<0.05) it means, that the autogenic training is able to decrease the anxiety on badminton athletes after autogenic training was given. In addition, the decrease in the anxiety of badminton athletes can be seen from gain score in both groups, the experiment group had an lower value of gain score than control group (34,67<43,33), it means that the autogenic training is able to decrease the anxiety of badminton athletes. The result shows that the hypothesis of this study that “there is the effect of autogenic training on the decrease anxiety badminton athletes” can be accepted. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji efek dari pelatihan otogenik terhadap penurunan kecemasan atlet.
