El Efecto Educación en el Desarrollo Social: Intelectual y Políticamente Subestimado
Authors: Baker David P.
Published: April 2021

La educación básica y avanzada está ahora expandiéndose rápidamente en todo el mundo, y la literatura de investigación demográfica y epidemiológica está pletórica de resultados que muestran la sólida asociación positiva entre nivel de educación y salud, además de otros comportamientos y actitudes individuales esenciales para el desarrollo social. Este “efecto educación” es tan pronunciado que cabe suponer que la educación es una de las principales causas de la primera transición demográfica de la sociedad moderna, consistente en índices más bajos de mortalidad y fecundidad y mayor esperanza de vida, que indican una mejora significativa en la salud y desarrollo de la población en general. La primera transición demográfica ya ha ocurrido en muchas naciones en todo el mundo pero, para las naciones más pobres, esta transición sigue siendo un desafío crucial para el desarrollo social sostenible. Aunque la mayoría de demógrafos e investigadores de la salud reconocen la significativa y persistente asociación entre escolaridad formal y resultados positivos en la salud, la razón de que la educación tenga esta influencia no es bien comprendida. Habiendo de por medio cruciales implicaciones de política, existe confusión sobre el papel de la educación en las políticas de desarrollo social.
La subjetividad de los docentes de ciencias en la evaluación de los aprendizajes
Authors: Turpo Gebera Osbaldo
Published: April 2021

La subjetividad de los docentes de ciencias sobre sus pensamientos y acciones evaluativas se evidencia a través del reconocimiento de los posicionamientos asumidos. Los profesores de ciencia, en ese discurrir, revelan un estado de confusión terminológica y explicativa sobre los marcos interpretativos que fundamentan sus concepciones y prácticas evaluativas, las cuales se manifiestan como tradicionales e innovadoras, sin mayor distinción. Estas intervenciones docentes expresan la escasa efectividad de los procesos de capacitación docente en los cambios promovidos, y generan, por el contrario, una serie de desconciertos en la toma de decisiones pedagógicas.
Efectos de la composición social y la repetición sobre el rendimiento escolar en competencia lectora
Authors: Muelle Luis
Published: April 2021

Este trabajo explora las relaciones y efectos que existen entre los antecedentes socioeconómicos del alumno, la composición social de las escuelas y la repetición de grado en el rendimiento de los alumnos. Utilizando los resultados de la prueba en Competencia Lectora de la evaluación PISA 2009 aplicada en el Perú, el interés se focaliza en los probables beneficios que puede aportar la repetición como práctica escolar para mejorar los aprendizajes. Aunque los datos no permiten inferencias causales, los análisis efectuados sugieren que los alumnos que han conocido la repetición en su carrera escolar obtienen sistemáticamente rendimiento escolares más bajos que sus compañeros no-repetidores. Se ha constatado, también, que las escuelas favorecidas socialmente tienen altos rendimientos asociados a una baja repetición, mientras que las escuelas desfavorecidas tienen más alta repetición y más bajos rendimientos. Además, se ha identificado tres ventajas producidas por efectos de los antecedentes socioeconómicos de los alumnos. La primera es para aquellos que provienen de hogares favorecidos socialmente, quienes obtienen en todos los casos mejores puntajes conforme su capital social se acrecienta. Una segunda ventaja viene de la textura social de la escuela frecuentada por un público escolar favorecido, que también se ve bonificado con mayores puntajes. En fin, estudiar en una escuela favorecida socialmente protege mejor de la repetición que el propio antecedente socioeconómico del alumno. Esta exploración de variables que se asocian con el rendimiento del alumno, así como los efectos de la repetición, brindan información que puede contribuir al debate sobre la pertinencia de esta práctica escolar.
Más allá de las explicaciones comunes: La incorporación de la tecnología y la cultura digital en el aula
Authors: Kalman Judy
Published: April 2021

Cada vez más, se espera que una mayor cantidad de docentes en México usenlas tecnologías digitales en sus aulas. Sin embargo, se les provee de poca orientación para que transiten de las prácticas del papel y el lápiz a las de la pantalla.Este artículo plantea que el uso de la tecnología digital (o la falta de uso de esta)por parte de los docentes constituye una construcción social en la que múltiples procesos -como la situación de su centro laboral, la forma en que comprenden las tecnologías digitales y el Internet, y sus creencias asentadas sobrela enseñanza y el aprendizaje- coinciden para dar forma a sus prácticas en elaula. La autora basa su análisis de tres docentes que aprenden a usar la tecnología en sus aulas en la ciudad de México en la teoría sociocultural, y más específicamente en nociones relacionadas con interacción social y práctica. Muestralas respuestas heterogéneas por parte de los docentes a esta nueva demandaprofesional. Finalmente, concluye que los usos específicos de la tecnología enel aula son el resultado de las formas en las que los docentes articulan las múltiples relaciones y obstáculos que encuentran en su centro laboral.

Published: April 2021

The examination of contemporary textiles continuously offers amazing perspectives of the past for anyone who explores
them. The ethnographic textile pieces are complex, both from the perspective of the component materials and regarding
the techniques used for their manufacture. The action of conserving the cultural and artistic patrimony is firstly a matter
of scientific research and then of technical execution. However, the possible health effects on the personnel, which are
directly involved in the actions of sampling, conservation or restoration of the textile art objects, must always be taken
into consideration. Textile objects can be contaminated with various toxic residues (e.g., pesticides). When investigating
archaeological, modern and contemporary textiles it is very important to maintain the integrity of the artifacts, as they
cannot be replaced, and the consumption or damage of even a small part of them for analytical purposes should be
undertaken only if the data cannot be obtained differently. For determining the presence of pesticides in the samples
they must be subjected to processes such as: extraction, enrichment of samples, isolation, identification, and
quantification.
Given the above, the most common methods of extraction and determination of pesticides present in textile artifacts
were briefly discussed. Punctually, the analytical techniques used in the case of three selected pesticides (malathion,
methoxychlor and permethrin) were evaluated
Construcción de nuevos sentidos jurídicos en torno al consentimiento, la autonomía y los derechos humanos, a la luz de las reformas en el delito de trata de personas con fines de explotación sexual
Authors:   , García María Fernanda
Published: April 2021

El principal objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar el impacto de la tensión epistemológica generada con la reforma legislativa del año 2012, en la aplicación e interpretación del delito de trata de personas con fines de explotación sexual por parte de la Cámara Federal de Casación Penal, poniendo particular énfasis en las continuidades y rupturas en los conceptos de “víctima”, “consentimiento sexual” y “vulnerabilidad”. La hipótesis que intentaré demostrar en este trabajo es que existen más continuidades que rupturas respecto de la interpretación y aplicación de ambas leyes de trata por parte del Poder Judicial, por contraposición a lo que hacen suponer los diversos debates en relación a la imperiosa necesidad de un cambio en las formas de abordaje de estos casos y a pesar de la presentación de la última de dichas leyes como un punto de inflexión en dicho paradigma. Asimismo, se verá como esas continuidades se erigen sobre el fuerte arraigo del paradigma abolicionista, sobre concepciones liberales de la autonomía de las mujeres y sobre un modelo que concibe a las mujeres primordialmente como víctimas.
Islam and World History
Authors: Schubel Vernon James
Published: April 2021

In Islam and World History: The Ventures of Marshall Hodgson, editors Edmund Burke III and Robert J. Mankin have provided a valuable service to the scholarly community by bringing together a series of insightful essays that place the creation of Hodgson’s posthumous masterwork, The Venture of Islam, into a broader historical and intellectual context. Perhaps most importantly, this slim but comprehensive volume adds greatly to our understanding of Marshall Hodgson himself, a historian who famously argued for the importance of recognizing the scholarly pre-commitments of academics, by providing a remarkable biographical context in which to consider the deeper implications of his work.

Authors: Luciana Knop  , Ricardo David Couto  , Thaunay Martins  , Raul Maranhão
Published: April 2021

Introduction. The high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and cardiovascular atherosclerotic complications are increasing in women after menopause. Studies have shown that the in vitro transfer of lipids to HDL and the determination of paraoxonase activity are robust methods to HDL functional evaluation. Objective. This study aimed at observing the difference in the paraoxonase activity and the transfer of lipids to HDL in menopause DM2-women with hypertriglyceridemia. Material and Methods. Blood samples were collected from 63 female diabetic patients with hypertriglyceridemia, matched by age group and comorbidities. The artificial nanoparticle (LDE) determined the transfer to HDL by liquid scintillation, as well the activity of paraoxonase by spectrophotometry. Results. There was a difference in paraoxonase-1 activity between the groups due to the high hypertriglyceridemia, regardless of the menopausal or non-menopausal condition. And, there was also a difference in phospholipid transfer between groups. Discussion. This study showed the presence of alterations in the activity of paraoxonase and phospholipid and cholesterol ester transfer to HDL in menopausal women groups when compared to those non-menopausal groups. Conclusion. This study showed that both diabetic hypertriglyceridemia and menopause influence the HDL metabolism, and the action of paraoxonase.

Authors: Anita Perpetua Carvalho Rocha de Castro  , Jedson dos Santos Nascimento  , Murilo Pereira Flores
Published: April 2021

O manejo da dor pós-operatória na população pediátrica permanece inadequado. Cerca de 75% dos pacientes submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos apresentam dor no período pós-operatório. Daqueles internados, 40% reportam dor de moderada a severa intensidade. Este dado é assustador, uma vez que a dor mal controlada traz sofrimento, interfere na qualidade de vida, na funcionalidade e na capacidade de recuperação do paciente. O alivio e o tratamento da dor são direitos humanos básicos. O objetivo deste artigo é fazer uma revisão da literatura acerca das técnicas atuais de analgesia pós-operatória em pediatria. Há diferentes técnicas disponíveis para o manejo da dor, dentre elas a analgesia sistêmica com analgésico comum, anti-inflamatório, analgésico opioide, adjuvantes, bloqueios axiais e bloqueios de nervo periférico, os quais poderão ser aplicados de forma isolada ou como parte de um esquema multimodal. O tratamento da dor pósoperatória no paciente pediátrico tem sido uma preocupação da equipe de saúde,o que vemse traduzindo em uma melhor assistência aos pacientes nesse contexto. Várias técnicas e fármacos encontram-se disponíveis e são representados por medicamentos com diferentes mecanismos de ação e passiveis de serem administrados por diferentes vias, levando a um maior conforto desses pacientes.
The effects of proton radiation on aluminum oxide/zirconium-doped hafnium oxide stacked ferroelectric tunneling junctions
Authors: Yang Xueqin , Bi Jinshun , Xu Yannan , Xi Kai , Ji Lanlong
Published: April 2021

The effects of proton radiation on TiN/Zr-doped-HfO2(HZO)/Al2O3/P+-Ge ferroelectric tunneling junctions are investigated in the present work. The electrical characteristics are measured before and after different proton fluences. The remanent polarization exhibits negligible change, which demonstrates the proton radiation immunity of the ferroelectric material HZO. However, the capacitance, leakage current, endurance, and read current characteristics show obviously changed with the increase of proton fluence. The main reason for this is that proton radiation causes positive fixed charges to form in the Al2O3 layer, interface charges to form in Al2O3/Ge and the effective carrier concentration to reduce in the Ge substrate.

The effect of virtual reality glasses on anxiety during surgery under spinal anesthesia: a randomized controlled study
Authors: Turan Ayse Zeynep , Yilmaz Mehmet , Saracoglu Tolga
Published: April 2021

Background & objectives: Surgery–related anxiety can be observed due to several factors in patients undergoing surgery. With developing technology virtual reality (VR) glasses have begun to be used to reduce anxiety in the preoperative period. We aimed to investigate the effect of using VR glasses on operation anxiety and sedation requirement in patients during operation under spinal anesthesia.   

Methodology: We enrolled 97 patients between 18–75 y of age, ASA class I–II, in this study. Participants were randomized into VR glasses group or the standard care group. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Trait Anxiety (STAI–TA) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for State Anxiety (STAI–SA) scores preoperatively and anxiety score on VAS scale during surgery were obtained. Patients watched a movie via VR glasses (BOBO® VR Z4) after spinal anesthesia and the surgical operation was commenced thereafter. In the control group, the surgery was begun without any additional procedure.

Results: Both groups were similar in terms of demographic and hemodynamic data. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of preoperative anxiety levels, STAI–SA and STAI–TA scores. However, the VAS and relative risk (RR) values were significantly lower in the study group in all measurements (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: We believe that the use of VR glasses decreases perioperative anxiety and sedation requirements in patients undergoing a surgical procedure under spinal anesthesia.

Published: April 2021

ICU course may be prolonged in patients suffering from Coronavirus associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) due to severity of initial disease and presence of opportunistic infections. A structured approach to management may help reduce morbidity and mortality. Case presentation: We present a series of five cases of CARDS with a prolonged ICU course, despite the resolution of viremia. A multipronged therapeutic approach was adopted in the form of self proning, thrombo–prophylaxis, chest physiotherapy, adequate nutrition, psychotherapy and early mobilization.

We could transfer two patients on domiciliary oxygen therapy and one on room air. Despite aggressive measures to control infection, one patient developed fungal sepsis, and another developed pseudomonal pneumonia. Both the patients rapidly deteriorated and succumbed to secondary infection, despite having shown initial recovery from CARDS. Conclusion: Prevention of infections is the key to recovery after resolution of viremia. This warrants COVID step down facility and structured rehabilitation program.

Authors: Mondal Soumitra , Bhattacharya Saikat , Biswas Rahul
Published: April 2021

Background: Psychological stress is rapidly becoming an occupational health epidemic. COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to signicantly
affect the psychological stress of healthcare workers (HCWs), who stand in the frontline of this crisis. It is, therefore, an immediate priority to
monitor psychological stress in order to understand mediating factors and inform tailored interventions. The aim of this study is to elicit the
prevalence of psychological stress among Health Care Workers in a municipality area during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Methods: This observational & descriptive epidemiological study with cross-sectional design was conducted from August to September, 2020
eld level health workers actively involved in COVID-19 surveillance in urban areas. The sample size of 62 was calculated by 4PQL2 where P
stands for prevalence of reference study. A predesigned, pretested self administered questionnaire containing validated General Health
Questionnaire (GHQ-12) was used for data collection. The questionnaire was translated to two local languages i.e Bengali & hindi to so that
participants can understand it by themselves.
Findings:Atotal of 75 urban Health workers participated in the study and 68 of them properly completed the questionnaire.According to GHQ-12
score 47.2% are found to be stressed. Stress is signicantly higher in Muslim population & among widows. There is signicant correlation between
GHG-12 score & per capita income but there is no signicant correlation with income contribution by the health worker. There is highly signicant
association between stress & the perception of work place safety. It is also seen that those whose motivation of work is money only are signicantly
more stressed than those who motivation is to perform some social work

Recursive SISO Impedance Modeling of Single-Phase Voltage Source Rectifiers
Authors: Lin Jianheng
Published: April 2021

This paper proposes a recursive single-input single-output (SISO) impedance modeling framework for single-phase voltage source rectifiers, which can greatly simplify both the modeling procedure and the resulting impedance model. During the modeling process, frequency-coupling effects are modeled by the reduced-order transfer function vector rather than the transfer function matrix, so the modeling complexity is reduced. Moreover, the recursive SISO impedance model has an analytical form. And the recursive SISO impedance model can characterize the frequency-coupling dynamics of arbitrary order with a low computation burden. Experiments validate the accuracy of the recursive SISO impedance modeling.
Prosthetic embodiment: Review and perspective on definitions, measures, and experimental paradigms
Authors: Zbinden Jan , Lendaro Eva , Ortiz-Catalan Max
Published: April 2021

The term embodiment has become omnipresent within
prosthetics research and is often used as a metric for the progress made in technological
prosthetic development, as well as a hallmark for user acceptance. However,
despite frequent use of the term, the concept of prosthetic embodiment is often
left undefined or used interchangeably with other distinct notions such as
ownership. This terminological ambiguity complicates the comparison of studies
using embodiment as a metric of success, which in turn hinders the advancement
of prosthetics research. In an attempt to resolve these terminological
ambiguities, we reviewed the used definitions of embodiment in the prosthetics
literature, found common denominators, and developed a pragmatic perspective. We
found that embodiment is often conceptualized in either of two frameworks based
on body representations or phenomenology. We concluded that treating prosthetic
embodiment as the combination of ownership and agency allows for measurement
and thus improvement. Together with the measures and experiments to study ownership
and agency suggested herein, we provide a pragmatic definition of prosthetic
embodiment that allows for outcome comparisons between studies and creates a common
reference for further discussions within prosthetics research.

Environment in the Czech Republic: State of the Art and Recent Development Under Economic and Political Transition
Authors: Braniš Martin
Published: April 2021

Environmental protection in the Czech Republic has undergone crucial changes since 1989. The initial improvement of environmental quality, however, should be viewed to a great extent as a passive consequence of the inevitable economic restructuring. It is especially the case of chief airborne pollutants that were much reduced since coal mining and the use of fertilizers has been restricted. On the other hand the lower production and use of ozone-destructive chemicals as well as investments into desulphurization of plants are examples of environmental improvements by purpose. The transition towards market economy brings also some negative effects. The amount of municipal waste has risen and public transportation has lost its previous importance. In spite of current positive trends in the environmental protection this branch will require a lot of money. The share of environmental expenses on GDP in the Czech Republic is at the moment two to four times higher than in many EU countries.
