Գնահատվել է Հայաստանի Հանրապետության Էջմիածնի տարածաշրջանի գյուղա-տնտեսական նշանակության հողատարածքների աղակալվածության աստիճանը։ Ուսումնասիրության համար նախատեսված հողանմուշները վերցվել են 2022 թվականի ոռոգման սեզոնի ավարտին, չափվել է վերջիններիս էլեկտրահաղորդականությունը՝ որպես աղակալվածության աստիճանը բնութագրող հիմնական ցուցանիշ: Հետազոտության արդյունքները ցույց են տվել, որ կախված տարածքից ոռոգումը և/կամ գրունտային ջրերի բարձր մակարդակն առաջացրել է լուծվող աղերի ինտենսիվ կուտակում գյուղատնտեսական նշանակության հողերի վերին հորիզոններում՝ առաջ բերելով հողի արտադրողականության անկման և հողի քայքայման վտանգ: Հաշվի առնելով այս հանգամանքը՝ շատ կարևոր է տարածաշրջանի հողերի շարունակական մոնիթորինգը և բարելավման ուղիների առաջարկումը՝ որպես հողերի կառավարման կայուն համակարգի ներդրման գործիք:
Оценена степень засоления сельскохозяйственных угодий Эчмиадзинского района Республики Армения. Образцы почв, предназначенные для исследования, были отобраны в конце поливного сезона 2022 г., измерена их электропроводность как основного показателя, характеризующая степень засоления. Результаты исследования показали, что в зависимости от площади орошения или высокого уровня грунтовых вод происходило интенсивное накопление растворимых солей в верхних горизонтах сельскохозяйственных почв, что при-водило к риску снижения продуктивности почв и их деградации. Учитывая этот факт, очень важно вести постоянный мониторинг земель в регионе и предлагать пути их улучшения как инструмент внедрения устойчивой системы управления земельными ресурсами.
The degree of salinization of agricultural lands in Etchmiadzin region of the Republic of Armenia was assessed. The soil samples intended for the study were taken at the end of the 2022 irrigation season their electrical conductivity was measured as the main indicator characterizing the degree of salinization. The results of the study demonstrated that depending on the area, irrigation and/or high groundwater levels caused an intensive accumulation of soluble salts in the upper horizons of agricultural soils, leading to the risk of declining soil productivity and soil degradation.

Published: December 2023

Objective − We present the imaging characteristics of an unusual case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS), a late complication of pelvic inflammatory disease in an adolescent girl with left upper abdominal pain due to perisplenitis seen on contrast-enhanced ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.Case Report − A 16-year-old girl presented with acute abdominal pain in the left upper quadrant, vomiting, diarrhoea, and vaginal odour with yellow discharge. She was recently diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis. Abdominal ultrasound showed perisplenic fluid collection that did not enhance post-contrast application, but it did show a mild enhancement of perisplenic tissue. MRI findings indicated perisplenitis. The results of the positive vaginal swab for Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma parvum and the imaging findings favoured a final diagnosis of FHCS with perisplenitis.Conclusion − Imaging findings, and clinical and laboratory data, including positive vaginal swabs, are crucial to confirm the unusual presentation of FHCS in an adolescent with left upper abdominal pain.

Published: December 2023

Objective − To determine if using ear plugs reduce the impact of noise on preterm babies admitted to neonatal intensive care units in terms of changes in their vital parameters and their discomfort level, assessed using the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) score.Materials and Methods − This is an interventional study conducted in a tertiary level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (Bangalore, India) over a period of 3 months, ranging from June 2022 to September 2022. This study included 20 preterm babies with different gestational ages and birth weights who were admitted to the NICU during that period. The babies’ response to noise, in terms of changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and discomfort level, were assessed with ear plugs and without ear plugs on alternate days and the results were recorded. Descriptive statistics were used for statistical analysis. Results − On days 1 and 3, mean heart rate and systolic blood pressure were lower in babies wearing ear plugs (141.55±2.42 SD and 60.1±11.58, respectively) than in the same babies without ear plugs (157.55±2.52 SD and 61.85±1.6 SD, respectively) on days 2 and 4. The mean oxygen saturation was higher in babies wearing ear plugs (96.7%±0.80 SD) than in the same babies without the intervention (93.75%±1.29 SD). The mean NIPS score was lower with the intervention (2.05±0.22) than without ear plugs (5.05±0.22 SD).Conclusion – Ear plugs were an effective alternative in situations where noise in the NICU cannot be consistently maintained at a lower level than the standard recommendation by the AAP of 45 decibels.

Published: December 2023

Objective − We analysed the relationship between the lung ultrasound (LUS) score and clinical characteristics in order to evaluate the diagnostic and predictive value of LUS in neonates and infants with acute bronchiolitis. Subjects andMethods − Term infants aged up to 3 months, admitted to Ljubljana University Children’s Hospital due to acute bronchiolitis in the period from January to April 2020, were studied prospectively. LUS score and clinical assessment score (CAS) were determined upon admission. The patients were divided into groups according to LUS score and CAS. Clinical and laboratory characteristics were compared between the groups. Correlations between LUS score, duration of clinical signs prior to admission, CAS and partial carbon dioxide pressure in the capillary blood (PCO2) upon admission, length of hospitalization and duration of supplemental oxygen (O2) therapy were analysed. Additionally, the predictive value of LUS and CAS for the need of non-invasive respiratory support (NRS) was calculated.Results − The LUS score correlated with the clinical severity of acute bronchiolitis. Patients with higher LUS score had higher CAS (P<0.001) and PCO2 upon admission (P=0.014), and needed O2 therapy for a longer time (P=0.023). These patients also required NRS (P=0.024) more often, were positive for respiratory syncytial virus (P=0.008), and had a chest X-ray performed (P<0.001). The LUS score correlated well with CAS (P<0.001, r=0.762). LUS score at admission underperformed to identify subsequent NRS treatment needs (AUC 0.76 (0.54-0.97), P=0.069) compared to CAS (AUC 0.85 (0.68-1.00), P=0.013).Conclusions − Larger studies are needed to evaluate the predictive and diagnostic value of LUS in neonates and young infants with acute bronchiolitis.

Authors: Brenčič Mihael
Published: December 2023

The two translations of letters by Johann Jacob Ferber (1743–1790), a Swedish geologist and mineralogist, who travelled through Slovenia in September 1771, are discussed. The first letter addressed to Ignaz von Born was published in the book »Briefe aus Wälschland über natürliche Merkwürdigkeiten dieses Landes an den Herausgeber derselben Ignatz Edlen von Born« published in Prague in 1773, and the second letter to Giovanni Arduino was published in the book »Raccolta di memorie chimico-mineralogiche, metallurgiche, e orittografiche« published in Venice in 1775. Both letters represent an Enlightenment scientific description of the geology of part of what is now Slovenia, based on the geological theories valid at the time. In the article, we provide brief biographies of the actors, translations of the two letters, their commentary and interpretation.
Using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for detecting a crypt beneath a paved church floor
Authors: Zajc Marjana , Grebenc Alojzij
Published: December 2023

After the discovery of an archive document regarding an underground crypt beneath the f loors of the Church of St. Margaret (Sv. Marjeta) in Dol pri Ljubljani, Slovenia, further research was carried out to confirm its presence. An area filled with construction waste was discovered during a recent small-scale renovation of the church floor. This finding suggested the potential underground chamber may have been partly filled in during one of the previous restorations. A non-invasive GPR study was carried out along eight profiles inside the church to prove the existence of an underground crypt. Results show the presence of an air-filled chamber, confirmed later by a hole drilled in the floor. Additional findings in the church archive and pictures taken by a camera, lowered through a drilled hole, revealed three previously unknown caskets in the crypt. According to the archives, two of them belong to Baron Wolf Daniel Erberg and his wife who died in 1783 and 1774, respectively.

POLÍTICA NACIONAL DE ATENÇÃO ÀS MULHERES EM SITUAÇÃO DE PRIVAÇÃO DE LIBERDADE E EGRESSAS DO SISTEMA PRISIONAL: UMA ANÁLISE DA SUA ESTRUTURAÇÃO E IMPLEMENTAÇÃO
Authors: Fontes da Silva Ana Lívia , Lacerda e Silva Marina
Published: December 2023

A partir da Portaria Interministerial n. 210 de 2014, foi instituída a Política Nacional de Atenção às Mulheres em Situação de Privação de Liberdade e Egressas do Sistema Prisional – PNAMPE. O Departamento Penitenciário Nacional – Depen e a Secretaria Nacional de Políticas para Mulheres – SNPM compõem o Comitê Gestor da PNAMPE, criado com o intuito de monitorar e fiscalizar as ações da política. Nesse sentido, o patriarcado demonstra influência no que se refere às desigualdades de gênero, fora e dentro dos muros das prisões, que por sua vez foram construídas por homens e para homens, sem levar em consideração as especificidades das mulheres. Por essa razão, construir políticas públicas direcionadas ao sistema prisional é imprescindível para a garantia de direitos, especialmente no campo da diversidade de gênero. O Comitê, no processo de monitoramento, se configura uma ferramenta de gestão que incentiva a operacionalização da política em todas as esferas de governo e, portanto, merece participação assídua de seus membros.

The impact of the introduction of telework on Moroccan employees
Authors: El Oud Rachid , Mekdad Anass , Amedjar Abderrahim , Lamalem Ahmed
Published: December 2023

Since the spread of the COVID-19 health crisis, teleworking has become an alternative way of ensuring and maintaining the sustainability of organisations at national and international level.
Developments in technology and information systems, such as Big Data and artificial intelligence, have contributed to a revolution in the traditional work system.
In particular, this revolution has made it possible to improve social relations and the performance of organisations through the adoption of teleworking.
In fact, the aim of our work is to study the effect of the generalisation of telework on the performance of organisations in the Moroccan context. 
For this purpose, a review of the literature was used to define the concept of telework, to determine the tools used, to analyse hierarchical relations and to evaluate the productivity of teleworkers.
With this in perspective, we conducted a questionnaire survey of Moroccan teleworkers, from which we found that the use of telework influences the performance and intrinsic relationships of employees.

Authors: Paucar Chanca Fortunato , H Gilmar Benito
Published: December 2023

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo dar a conocer la influencia de las características y propiedades de los agregados extraídos de diferentes fuentes, específicamente de las canteras de la cuenca del río Ichu y de las canteras de la cuenca del río Mantaro. Al mismo tiempo, cómo afectan la resistencia del concreto. A su vez, comprender las propiedades de los agregados. Para ello se realizaron pruebas en 90 unidades de muestra cilíndricas (45 muestras cilíndricas para agregados de la cuenca del Rio Ichu y 45 muestras cilíndricas para agregados de la cuenca del Rio Mantaro). Se evaluaron las propiedades mecánicas del agregado fino (arena gruesa) y grueso (piedra triturada) de ambas canteras según ASMC 33 y NTP 400.037. La mezcla se calculó para las resistencias: f'c = 175 kg/cm2, f'c = 210 kg/cm2 y f'c = 245 kg/cm2 utilizando el método ACI 211. En las canteras examinadas se llevaron a cabo diversas pruebas. Las muestras se endurecieron por inmersión en agua en condiciones de laboratorio y se calculó la resistencia a la compresión a la edad de 28 días según ASTM C 39 o NTP 339.034.

Llegando a la conclusión que, a la edad de 28 días, las muestras elaboradas con áridos de la cuenca del río Mantaro lograron mayor resistencia que las muestras elaboradas con áridos de la cuenca del río Ichu. Al realizar una prueba estadística muestra que todos los tratamientos son diferentes. Las canteras de los ríos Mantaro e Ichu y el diseño de la mezcla (175, 210 y 245 kg/cm2) son factores que influyen en la resistencia del concreto.

The rise in power dissipation when the technology descends into the deep submicron zone is one of the main issues for CMOS technology due to its non-volatility, high speed, high endurance, CMOS compatibility, and primarily the low power dissipation. magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) working on Spin transfer torque (STT). Switching mechanism is recognized as one of the most promising spintronic devices for post-CMOS era. This device can provide solutions for the issues posed by existing CMOS technology. We have put out a brand-new hybrid STT- MTJ/CMOS circuit-based logic-in-memory (LIM) P- magnetic arithmetic logic unit (P-MALU) design.. The behavior of P-MALU designs in terms of power dissipation is then studied using Monte-Carlo(MC) simulation, which incorporates process and mismatch variations for CMOS and extracted parameters of MTJ . The P-MALU circuit has also been expanded to provide 4-bit arithmetic operations. Electrical simulations are run to ensure the design's operation.

Introduction and objective: The Pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) impacted healthcare, which led surgical services to adapt their functional structure according to the different temporal phases. This paper aims to analyze the pandemic's impact on outpatient care and surgical interventions in the Cardiac Surgery Service of a third-level public hospital in the Southern area of the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Methods: The consecutive medical records of 561 operated patients and the office records of 943 patients treated were retrospectively evaluated from March 2018 to December 2022. The number of consultations and surgeries, the epidemiological parameters, and the postoperative evolutions were analyzed. Results: During the pandemic, concerning the pre-pandemic period, a significant decrease in the monthly number of consultations (18.9 vs. 14.8; p <0.05) and of surgeries (12 vs. 8.3; p <0.0001) was recorded. A significant increase in patients referred from the Intensive Care Unit before surgery was also observed (p <0.005). Among the presurgical risk factors, a significantly higher prevalence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and insulin-requiring diabetes (IR-DBT) was found, as well as a more significant number of patients with deterioration of left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) (p <0.005). The total amount of infections increased significantly (p <0.05), with respiratory infections as the primary cause (p <0.05). However, this cause was associated with COVID-19 in only one patient. Conclusions: During the pandemic, consultations and surgeries decreased in the Cardiac Surgery Service, with more patients referred from intensive care areas. The patients who underwent surgery had a more significant history of AMI, DBT, and impaired LVFS. Infections increased, predominantly due to respiratory causes, although unrelated to COVID-19.

Published: December 2023

Introducción: La reparación de la válvula mitral ha demostrado una amplia superioridad sobre el reemplazo valvular mitral en el tratamiento de la insuficiencia mitral severa, por lo cual es considerada la primera opción terapéutica que recomiendan las guías de la práctica clínica para el tratamiento de las valvulopatías. Por este motivo, debería ser un recurso ampliamente utilizado por los cirujanos de corazón en todo el mundo. Objetivo: Demostrar la reproductibilidad de la plastia mitral en nuestro hospital, tanto en técnicas como resultados, en comparación con los datos publicados en hospitales del primer mundo. Este análisis comparativo nos permitirá evaluar nuestra competencia y calidad de la atención en el campo de la cirugía de la válvula mitral de acuerdo con los estándares mundiales. Material y métodos: Entre enero del 2018 y enero del 2022 se intervinieron a 63 pacientes con insuficiencia mitral severa por enfermedad degenerativa o funcional con criterios quirúrgicos en el Hospital Luis Vernaza, entre los que se incluyeron 22 pacientes a los que se les realizó reparación mitral. Se llevó a cabo un estudio longitudinal retrospectivo de una corte en el que se evaluó la evolución postquirúrgica. Los principales resultados fueron la patencia, reintervención y mortalidad. El seguimiento se efectuó mediante contacto telefónico y a todos los pacientes se les realizó al menos un ecocardiograma por año. Resultados: Se analizaron 22 pacientes (73% hombres) con una edad media de 48 años (rango de 36 a 72 años). Todos los pacientes presentaron insuficiencia mitral severa y el 91% de etiología primaria. Se reparó de forma exitosa la insuficiencia mitral severa de etiología primaria, el 55% de ellas por compromiso del segmento P2. Solo 2 pacientes necesitaron reintervención, uno por desinserción del anillo y el otro por rotura de nuevas cuerdas tendinosas. Solo hubo una mortalidad intrahospitalaria asociada a reintervención mediata por falla de la plastia, y tres fallecidos por causas no cardiovasculares. Los pacientes restantes permanecen asintomáticos, reincorporados a sus actividades ordinarias habituales, sin insuficiencia mitral residual y con una fracción de eyección del ventrículo izquierdo mayor del 45%. Conclusiones: La plastia valvular mitral con anillo es una técnica que se puede reproducir de manera exitosa en nuestro medio, con personal adecuadamente entrenado y tutorizado, y se logran resultados similares a centros de nivel mundial que cuentan con un mayor volumen quirúrgico y experiencia en plastias mitrales.

The aim of study to investigates the role of e-procurement technologies to mitigate corruption within the public procurement sector of Pakistan due to which E-procurement can’t be implemented. It examines the factors that contribute to corruption probability in government procurement process. The implementation of E-Procurement, within the public sector represents a significant transformation in the country's governance which serves as a strategic response to enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency in public procurement processes. In the design of E-procurement adoption, three primary factors were taken into consideration to address obstacles: Monopoly power; Information asymmetry; Transparency and accountability. A survey was distributed to 232 procurement specialists and government suppliers; the approach chosen involves the distribution of a well-structured closed-ended questionnaire to enable quantitative assessment, utilizing a convenience sampling method. Obtained informed consent from participants that ensure participants understand the purpose, procedures, potential risks, and benefits of the research project and voluntarily agree to participate.  The SPSS software was employed to compile the results of multiple regression models. The findings reveal a substantial 76.9% impact of various variables contributing to adaptation of E-procurement. The result indicates that all three-independent variable: Monopoly power, Information asymmetry, transparency & accountability are creating major resistance in implementation of E-procurement in the government organizations which are the major cause of corruption. This research provides valuable insights into enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of resources within the public sector. As one of the few studies on this topic, it serves as a foundational piece of literature that can guide future research and policymaking endeavors in Pakistan's public procurement landscape. Ultimately, the successful implementation of E-Procurement has the potential to transform how public funds are managed, ensuring greater accountability, transparency, and efficiency in public sector operations.

Correctional education provides either a metaphorical bridge or additional barrier between incarceration and community. Although members of a community of education professionals, correctional educators serve incarcerated individuals within a more complex and evolving ecosystem of custody, discipline, and security. Correctional educational programs and correctional educators’ practices are of special consideration when discussing returning citizens’ reentry into society. This reflection interrelates personal experiences in a range of professional educational settings with recent research to illuminate thematic/topical opportunities for improving correctional education programming’s ability to support and expand existing resources available to returning citizens.

Factors Related to Conservative Preterm Therapy on BPJS Claim Achievement in Waluyo Jati Hospital Probolinggo Regency
Authors: Rahmawati Yessi , Prasetyo Joko , Wardani Ratna
Published: December 2023

Introduction: A high number of reports of preterm incidents in Probolinggo, which was the highest in East Java in 2018, has caused problems in the financing process claimed by the Indonesian National Social Health Insurance (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS)). Insufficient financing for maternity mothers, as the highest proportion of national delivery methods, can certainly be a direct or indirect obstacle to the maternal mortality rate, which is still very high in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the influence of hospitalization period, gestational age, and delivery method in conservative preterm therapy on BPJS claim achievement at Waluyo Jati Hospital, Probolinggo Regency.
Material and Methods: This study is a quantitative research with a cross-sectional approach. Sampling took place from May to September 2023 at Waluyo Jati Regional Hospital, Probolinggo Regency. Sampling used an accidental sampling technique. 33 respondents participated in this research.
Results: The results of this study showed that the largest number of respondents with the criteria for a length of stay of 4-7 days was 23 respondents (69.6%), gestation age 31-33 weeks was 14 respondents (42.4%), and 23 respondents underwent cesarean section delivery (69.7%). The highest BPJS claim achievement value was in the range of 30-50%, with 18 respondents (54.5%). The results of the Multiple Linear Regression showed a p-value of 0.000.
Conclusion: The conclusion from this research is that there is an influence of hospitalization period, gestational age, and delivery method simultaneously in conservative preterm therapy on the achievement of BPJS claims at Waluyo Jati Hospital, Probolinggo Regency.

Olimpíade la mimálona
Authors: Antela Bernárdez Borja
Published: December 2023

En un conocido pasaje de la Vida de Alejandro, Plutarco describe la participación de Olimpíade en ritos órficos y báquicos, propios de mimálonas, clodonas y edónides, mujeres tracias. Esta información ha sido la piedra angular sobre la que la mayoría de los autores han fundamentado la interpretación de Olimpíade como mujer harto religiosa, y con ello, han condicionado la percepción de sus acciones en la historia de Alejandro. No obstante, aquí defenderemos que la información de Plutarco no está ordenada cronológicamente, sino que funciona como un exemplum con el que el texto introduce al personaje y su supuesto carácter. Sin embargo, el fragmento en cuestión haría referencia a la batalla de Evia (317 a.C.) entre Olimpíade y Adea Eurídice.

Seguridad humana y derecho de la competencia: fundamentos geoeconómicos de la Unión Europea
Authors: Rubio González Alejandro
Published: December 2023

El objeto de este artículo es poner de manifiesto el alcance geoeconómico del derecho de la competencia como instrumento para garantizar la paz social y, en definitiva, la seguridad humana. Los fundamentos geoeconómicos de la Unión Europea son una prueba de la relación entre los dos aspectos. En el presente artículo se analiza el alcance político del derecho de la competencia en los Estados Unidos, así como el redescubrimiento de Louis Brandeis y la crítica actual al paradigma del bienestar del consumidor por parte del movimiento neobrandeisiano. Se estudia de qué modo el enfoque brandeisiano incidió en la posición de los Estados Unidos en relación con los cárteles alemanes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la postguerra. En particular, se explica cómo fue implantado en Europa tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial en el marco de la reconstrucción del continente y cómo ello ha garantizado el período de paz y prosperidad más dilatado de la historia de Europa.
Asiento i guerra: galeres particulars catalanes al Mediterrani de Felip II
Authors: Jurado Riba Víctor J.
Published: December 2023

Durant les dècades centrals del regnat de Felip II, entre el 1560 i el 1580, la política mediterrània va ocupar un espai fonamental del seu regnat. Entre totes les galeres presents a les principals campanyes, en trobaríem les que apareixen de manera recurrent a la documentació com «las tres de particulares catalanes»: la Llupiana, la Serafina i la Porfiada. En el present estudi es recorrerà la seva activitat, a través de la via documental, tot prenent com a punt de partida el seu asiento inicial fins a la petició de venda de les galeres a la Monarquia per part dels seus amos catalans per les dificultats econòmiques derivades del servei. Es veurà, doncs, com aquestes galeres van esdevenir una presència catalana recurrent al Mediterrani de Felip II.
El bandolerisme a la Garrotxa al segle XVI
Authors: Padrós Joan Antoni
Published: December 2023

El bandolerisme és un fenomen complex, en el qual convergeixen les bandes de delinqüents fugats i els exèrcits privats senyorials, usats en el joc d’interessos per part dels poders locals. Respon per tant a una lògica estructural i només es pot entendre des d’una aproximació microhistòrica. Aquest article es proposa contribuir a un cens sistemàtic de tots els episodis de bandolerisme a la Garrotxa del segle XVI i posar en context els episodis i els personatges.
El movimiento "Arbor" (1951-1953)
Authors: Díaz Hernández Onésimo
Published: December 2023

El objetivo de este artículo es examinar la gestación de un movimiento intelectual, dirigido por Rafael Calvo Serer que aspiró a convertirse en un movimiento político en los inicios de los años 1950. La principal aportación del artículo procede de la consulta de documentos de los protagonistas, sobre todo de los fondos personales de Rafael Calvo Serer y Florentino Pérez Embid. El método empleado es el estudio de las denominaciones habituales para designar a este colectivo: generación de 1948, grupo Arbor y Tercera Fuerza. A continuación, sin descartar estas denominaciones, se propone una nueva acepción, la de movimiento Arbor, al considerar que ese conjunto unitario de intelectuales intentó constituir una tendencia política-cultural cada vez más influyente hasta el punto de querer cristalizar en un movimiento político.
“FAR y Montoneros, son nuestros compañeros”. La guerrilla peronista y dos formas alternativas de presentarse en sociedad
Authors: Custer Carlos Ignacio
Published: December 2023

El propósito de este trabajo es indagar, en clave comparativa, las formas en que Montoneros y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FAR) efectuaron sus apariciones públicas. Estas se conformaron en base a tres elementos diversos: el hecho armado por medio del cual se dieron a conocer, la enunciación que formularon en ese momento y el relato de origen que hicieron público. La parte inicial está dedicada a analizar las dos primeras cuestiones, mientras que la segunda está destinada a examinar las referencias que hicieron sobre su proceso formativo ambas organizaciones. Finalmente, abordaremos la visión militante a fin de determinar si las diferentes formas de presentarse en sociedad por parte de Montoneros y FAR incidieron en la decisión de integrarse a sus filas o si existieron otros móviles que permiten explicar la preferencia escogida. La hipótesis que guía el presente artículo es que las formas de presentarse en sociedad constituyeron un componente de la identidad grupal y, al mismo tiempo, moldearon una imagen que, al concitar diversos niveles de simpatías, impactó en las percepciones que, en el seno de la militancia revolucionaria, se tenía de dichas organizaciones.

Published: December 2023

An educational product resulting from the National Professional Master's Degree in Physics Teaching carried out at the Federal University of Espírito Santo is presented. The aim is to show the uses of the Gowin diagram in the context of experimental activities to support students participating in scientific events. The Professora Filomena Quitiba school of the state network of the state of Espírito Santo was the place to articulate the proposition of the Gowin heuristic, also known as the V-diagram due to its format. The study was qualitative, exploratory and interpretive in terms of the data collected and evaluated. The research participants were high school students organized into groups to participate in science fairs. The results were satisfactory with the insertion of the diagram in the experimental physics activities. The students understood the potential of the Gowin diagram during the activities. It is concluded that the uses of the Gowin diagram for the perception of the scientific method and a need in basic education are presented in a didactic way.
Físicos y químicos frente a la naciente teoría atómica
Authors: Miranda Enrique N.
Published: December 2023

The modern atomic theory emerged in 1808 with the work of Dalton, and following subsequent refinements, it found widespread adoption among chemists for elucidating chemical reactions. By the mid-19th century, it was employed to comprehend the structural characteristics of organic molecules within the domain of chemistry. In contrast, within the realm of physics, the atomistic conception of matter was just beginning to take its initial steps, championed by figures such as Maxwell and the kinetic theory of gases. Progressing along this trajectory, Boltzmann engaged with prominent contemporaneous figures who exhibited reluctance toward acknowledging the existence of atoms. Ultimately, at the turn of the 20th century, a series of experiments, notably those conducted by Perrin on Brownian motion, conclusively persuaded physicists of the reality of atoms. Intriguingly, the community of chemists had anticipated physicists by half a century in embracing the atomic theory. This article discusses and analyzes this curious story.

The aim of this research was to study the effect of solvent polarity and extraction technique of phenolic compounds from Juniperus oxycedrus L. on antioxidant and antibacterial activity. Also, this paper aims to evaluate the anti-corrosive effect of aqueous extracts. In order to evaluate the effect of solvents on the bioactive compound’s extraction efficiency, the samples were prepared with different extraction procedures. The methanolic and ethanolic extracts were prepared by using Soxhlet and maceration extraction and aqueous extracts were obtained by decoction and infusion methods. Moreover, six fractions (petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, 1-butanol and aqueous) were prepared by partition of ethanolic extract. All the extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening; the results show the presence of flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, triterpenes and steroids. The study of the effect of extraction methods revealed that the decoction is the most suitable for the extraction of phenolic compounds. Moreover, depending on the solvent studied, it was noted that the ethanol showed a high level of flavonoids and the high antioxidant capacity. The extracts were also tested for their antibacterial activity in vitro against two bacterial strains (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) using the disc diffusion method. The results of antibacterial showed that the highest activity was attributed to ethanolic extract with a maximum zone of inhibition of 13 mm against Staphylococcus aureus. The corrosion inhibition effect of the aqueous extracts in mild steel in 1 M HCl solution showed that the extracts inhibit effectively corrosion of mild steel.
