MMP-9 and TIMP-1 Promote Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in the Formation of Ovarian Endometrioma: in vitro Study on Chicken Chorioallantoic Membrane
Authors: Sari Vidia , Jenie Riris Istighfari , Widad Shofwal , Dewanto Agung
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: The invasion of endometrial tissue in the peritoneal layers is an important precursor to the formation of endometriosis. However, the mechanisms of the initial development of endometrioma remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the correlation between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 expression in the initial development of endometriosis through the invasion process of endometrial lesions in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling.METHODS: A total of 30 samples of endometrioma tissue were obtained from 24 women with endometriosis and examined at Dr. Sardjito General Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The tissue was then implanted into a chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) for five days to examine its invasion ability. The invasion scores were assessed using hematoxylin-eosin staining. MMP-9 activity and TIMP-1 expression were analyzed using gelatin zymography and western blot, respectively. The correlations between MMP-9 activity and TIMP-1 expressions with the invasion scores were analyzed using Spearman correlation tests with significance set as p<0.05.RESULTS: The results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between MMP-9 activity and invasion scores of endometriomas tissue (r=0.656; p=0.000). Meanwhile, expression levels of TIMP-1 had a weak negative correlation with the increase of invasion scores of endometrioma (r=-0.388; p=0.034). These results indicate the involvement of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in the initial development of endometriosis during the ECM remodeling.CONCLUSION: MMP-9 activity and TIMP-1 expression were correlated with the invasion score of endometrioma tissue. This study provides evidence for understanding the mechanisms involved in ECM remodeling in the early process of endometriosis.KEYWORDS: endometrioma, extracellular matrix remodeling, MMP-9, TIMP-1
High Expression of PR-A and Low Expression of PR-B is Correlated with Inflammation in Endometrioma Cases
Authors: Yuane Erick , Dewanto Agung , Widad Shofwal
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Progestin therapy has been commonly used in endometriosis. The regulation of progesterone receptors B (PR-B) greatly affects the success rate of therapy in cases of endometriosis. The presence of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a in endometriosis triggers PR-B hypermethylation, decreasing PR-B expression and PR-B/A ratio that induce progesterone resistance. It may also occur in endometrioma. Studies regarding the distribution of PR-A and PR-B with TNF-a expression in endometriosis with endometrioma tissue samples has not been elucidated well. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure and compare the distribution of PR-A and PR-B expression, and to assess the effect of PR-B/A ratio on TNF-a in endometrioma and benign cysts.METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted by collecting paraffin blocks of endometriomas and benign cysts as controls, from patients undergoing surgery at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta. Immunohistochemistry was performed to assess the expressions of PR-A, PR-B, TNF-a and PR-B/A ratio, to compared differences between endometriomas and benign cysts.RESULTS: Twenty-three endometrioma and 22 benign cyst tissue samples were collected. The mean PR-B expression and PR-B/A ratio were found to be lower in endometriomas than benign cysts, and mean expression of PR-A and TNF-a in endometriomas was higher than in benign cysts. However, there were no significant correlations between the expression of PR-A, PR-B, PR-B/A ratio, and TNF-a with endometriosis severity.CONCLUSION: In endometrioma cases, the expression of PR-A and TNF-a was higher, while the expression of PR-B and PR-B/A ratio was lower. However, there was no significant relationship between the ratio of PR-B/A and TNF-a.KEYWORDS: progesterone receptor, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, endometriosis, endometrioma, benign cyst, ovarian cyst
Crucial Triad in Pulp-Dentin Complex Regeneration: Dental Stem Cells, Scaffolds, and Signaling Molecules
Authors: Sandra Ferry , Sutanto Andri , Wulandari Widya , Lambertus Reynaldo , Celinna Maria , Dewi Nurrani Mustika , Ichwan Solachuddin Jauhari Arief
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Pulp damage can lead to dentinogenesis impairment, irreversible pulpitis, or pulp necrosis. Despite being the most used endodontic procedure to treat damaged pulp, root canal therapy only results in nonvital teeth which are prone to fractures and secondary infection. Pulp-dentin regeneration has a potential to regenerate structure similar to normal pulp-dentin complex, and can be achieved by combining dental stem cells, scaffold, and signaling molecules. This article reviews the role of various types of dental stem cells, scaffolds, signaling molecules, and their combinations in regenerating pulp-dentin complex.CONTENT: Dental pulp stem cell (DPSC), stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), and dental follicle stem cell (DFSC) were reported to regenerate pulp-dentin complex in situ. SHED might be more promising than DPSCs and DFSCs for regenerating pulp-dentin complex, since SHED have a higher proliferation potential and higher expression levels of signaling molecules. Scaffolds have characteristics resembling extracellular matrix, thus providing a suitable microenvironment for transplanted dental stem cells. To accelerate the regeneration process, exogenous signaling molecules are often delivered together with dental stem cells. Scaffolds and signaling molecules have different regenerative potential, including induction of cell proliferation and migration, formation of pulp- and/or dentin-like tissue, as well as angiogenesis and neurogenesis promotion.SUMMARY: Combinations of dental stem cells, scaffold, and signaling molecules are important to achieve the functional pulp-dentin complex formation. Current trends and future directions on regenerative endodontics should be explored. The right combination of dental stem cells, scaffold, and signaling molecules could be determined based on the patients’ characteristics. Incomplete pulp-dentin regeneration could be overcome by applying dental stem cells, scaffold, and/or signaling molecules in multiple visits.KEYWORDS: pulp-dentin regeneration, regenerative endodontics, dental stem cells, scaffold, signaling molecules

Myśl społeczna Kardynała Augusta Hlonda. Wybrane zagadnienia
Authors: Skorowski Ks. Henryk
Published: February 2023

The present article undertakes the theme of social thought of Cardinal Hlond. It presents the questions of social engagement of Catholics, the problems of the family, the theory of the nation as well as the concept of the state.
The problem of the Catholic engagement is the important element of Cardinal Hlond’s social teaching.
It appears in the multidimensional perspective. One can find here the political, the socio-economic dimensions as well as the cultural one. The culture is understood here in a very wide sense. All the activities leading to the person’s spiritual, intellectual and moral development belong to it.
The second important topic of Cardinal Hlond’s social teaching are family issues. The family is understood as the environment of moral and religious development of every person. It transforms, builds and improves family life as well as every human being’s dignity.
Another important subject is the concept of nation. For Hlond nation is the natural environment of the individual’s development. Two fundamental elements describe the notion of nation: community and culture. They are carriers the moral, religious, intellectual and spiritual values.
The final important point of Cardinal Hlond’s social teaching is the concept of state. For the Cardinal the state should be always at the service in the relations to citizens. The role of the state appears in three dimensions. First, to create living conditions for every citizen; second, to guarantee the fundamental and natural law of freedom; third, to create the „space” of self-realization, which manifests itself in public life activity.
Autentyzm a uczciwość. Zgodność czy rozbieżność?
Authors: Gryżenia SDB Ks. Kazimierz
Published: February 2023

Our contemporary life is said to be in conformity with what we do. People tend to be honest and trustworthy unlike those in the past - in the Victorian times, for example, when there were elements of hypocrisy and conventional behaviour among citizens. Many people nowadays live their lives according to their own subjective beliefs; and they speak openly about their both good and bad deeds – even if some of them were kept secret to the public. And the public is equally open to tolerate or even accept them.
An analysis of many cases in which people follow their own moral beliefs shows that this category of people are not always honest – only then, when their system of moral values is in accord with the objective system of moral values. Individual moral beliefs can be a result of false or relative moral theories, or even constructed to fit one’s moral attitude. Behaviour in which one respects the established principles, though may seem genuine, does not need to be considered honest. Following this kind of thinking, a man does not have any motivation or need to control himself – human-beings can dispense with self-development. The Victorian hypocrite had at least a due respect for moral values and knew that he had done wrong. His honesty followed what was good in his life but his deeds were all in all doomed to failure. Failure on the way of applying the right moral principles in life is not dishonesty. Every attempt to follow them inspires humans to undertake some spiritual efforts and gives opportunity to one’s own personal development.
Zagadnienie upełnomocniania pracowników w koncepcji przywództwa personalistycznego i służebnego
Authors: Bombała Bronisław
Published: February 2023

The paper presents concepts of personalistic leadership and servant leadership as an alternative to the technocratic management. The most important issue in the two concepts of leadership is the empowerment, that is, the capacity of building the staff (competence, knowledge, motivation). Servant leadership is an American concept of leadership very similar to the concept of personalistic leadership. The differences arise from how to give reasons
– servant leadership has inspired by religion (Christianity), whereas the concept of personalistic leadership is based on the personalism and phenomenology.
Granice lojalności w samorządzie terytorialnym
Authors: Stawecki Marek
Published: February 2023

Local government is not free from dilemmas arising from ethical but illegal actions as well as legal, however, unethical ones.
This breeds situations in which officials must decide whether to be loyal to the government authorities or citizens, whom they are obliged to serve. For instance, they must decide whether to accept the policy imposed by the district council making them change their clerical rules of conduct which, in their opinion, will be less
favourably inclined to citizens. Consequently, they will be obliged either to take or refrain from taking certain
actions, which stems from the inner imperative. At the root of this dilemma frequently lies a discord between law and ethics. The choice to be made leads to a moral dilemma.
What is associated with this matter indeed is the question of revealing the truth about unethical, illegal, immoral or unlawful behaviour in the government that occurs with the employer’s silent approval. The so-called whistleblowing is the means to achieve it. The process is based on informing people or organizations who have the power to influence actions of the criticized individuals or organizations.
This creates situations in which officials can no longer take advantage of two values and are made to choose only one of them.
Lekcja kryzysu. Etyczny kapitalizm konieczność czy utopia?
Authors: Szulczewski Grzegorz
Published: February 2023

For the last few months the financial crisis is being widely discussed. However, it was foreseen some time ago by at least two people who named its deep causes. A philosopher of culture, Zygmunt Bauman, claims that a postmodern utopia of “morality without ethical code” makes it impossible to solve problems created by our era of “liquid modernity”. George Soros, an American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, political activist, and a pupil of Karl Popper, maintains that the crisis is a result of a victory of “transaction morality” over “morality of the open society”. The two diagnosis of the present crisis show that the process of deregulation of the economy should not lead to the point where ethics loses its normative functions. This is the lesson of the crisis. Capitalism must be ethical or none.

Unikanie opodatkowania jako zagadnienie etyczno-moralne z punktu widzenia łódzkich studentów
Authors: Śmigielski Witold
Published: February 2023

According to the Catholic Social Teaching, tax evasion is ethically reprehensible and people who do it commit sin. The Catholic Church based its opinion first of all on the Holy Scripture (the teaching of Jesus, St. Peter’s and St. Paul’s). Also pope John Paul II, primate of Poland Stefan cardinal Wyszyński and Joseph cardinal Höffner objected to tax frauds.
The survey was conducted among the students of the University of Lodz and of the Medical University of Lodz. Its aim was to examine the students’ opinion about tax evasion. The students’ answers were grouped with regard to church attendance in order to trace if there exists a correlation between church attendance and tax morality.
Statistical analysis indicated a connection between church attendance and tax morality. The highest tax morality was noticed in the group of regularly practising Catholics, a bit smaller in the non-practising or unbelieving group of people and the least tax morality was noticed among the irregularly practising group of Catholics.
According to the students’ opinion, the main reason to pay taxes is for fear of financial sanction. Among other reasons the respondents listed that it is a national duty or that it is necessary to cover national expenditures. It is optimistic, however, that most of the students declared to pay the taxes fairly, if they run their own corporations in the future.
Dobro moralne w praktyce zawodu nauczycielskiego
Authors: Ślipko SJ Ks. Tadeusz
Published: February 2023

The idea of the moral good is considered a desirable and appreciated real existence. With reference to teachers it constitutes a personal pattern of judicious acting. Their special task is not only to teach necessary knowledge to students but also to instil moral conduct in them i.e. to form ‘a correct character’. This notion was present at the beginning of the 20th century and is also reflected in Archbishop Józef Bilczewski’s letter ‘The Character’ (1920). The ideas presented there remain still valid also in the present historic moment of the nation.

Speaks about it Declaration of human rights in 1948 and social teaching of Church – including documents of Vaticanum II and Jean Paul II, which indicate of subjectivity and dignity of man as person. The second part of this paper based on personalism demonstrates that science can harmoniously develop only in the climate of internal-moral freedom of scientist. The purpose of science is revelation of truth, but effects of scientific investigations – in particular of biological-medical sciences – influence on the life of human individuals and societies. Conscious and free activity of man has ethical character, therefore liberty of science ought to be responsible liberty and then to be subordinated the ethical criterions. Science cannot ignore values and rules moral. The third part of paper stated that good of human person and common good of society demand juridical limitations of scientific inquiries’ liberty. Liberty is man’s right but also its obligation to respect of human person’s fundamental rights – including right to life, integrality and dignity. Therefore internal-ethical and external-juridical limitations are necessary of scientist’s liberty.

Dylematy etyczne rozwoju sportu zawodowego
Authors: Pawlak Zbigniew , Smoleń Andrzej
Published: February 2023

This paper discusses in detail the ethical issues in the contemporary professional sports and shows how these issues are addressed in the European Union countries and in the United States.
From the ethical perspective it was decided that it is disputable to finance companies in competitive sports from a public purse (central and local government purse), to sponsor football clubs by bookmaking companies, to pay compensations (financial equivalents) for the change of membership in clubs by the players (the so called transfers).
It was noticed that in the era of deepening sports commercialisation and application of ambush marketing strategies a real problem has become how to protect the interests of sport fans.
It was decided that reaching of a certain scale of business operations (e.g. a certain threshold of revenues or profits) by monopolistic sports organisations should be paralleled by their loss of privileged status and/or change of their organisational and legal status (change from voluntary, non-profit organisations into companies operating under commercial law).

Published: February 2023

Fish processing worldwide generates a large amount of waste that has no further use. In this work, we tested the possible biotechnological use of two waste materials from common carp – waste scales and residues from filleting process. Both sources were subjected to alkaline hydrolysis and subsequently used as a source of nitrogen, phosphorus and other elements for the cultivation of the fungus Monascus purpureus, which is known for the production of pigments with potential in pharmaceutics and other sectors of industry. After 14 day-long cultivation of Monascus purpureus in a medium containing hydrolysate as the sole source of all nutrients except carbon, the extraction of pigments and their further analysis were carried out. It was shown that a simple as well as inexpensive alkaline hydrolysis can be used to prepare a complex culture medium suitable for pigment production using fish waste. Moreover, there is a big potential that this medium would also be suitable for many more biotechnological applications.

Published: February 2023

From the brewing and commercial point of view, the content of alpha acids is the most important quality parameter of hops, which is subject to significant annual fluctuations. The established system for evaluating the content of alpha acids in Czech hops consists of pre-harvest and harvest predictions and a detailed analysis of reality based on the analysis of all purchasing lots of raw hops. It is differentiated according to varieties and hop growing areas. This article presents the results of the 2022 harvest, discusses the influence of weather conditions, the age of hop gardens and virus-free seedlings on the harvest results, and the relationship of predictions to reality. The average content of alpha acids in the majority Saaz variety in the Saaz, Auscha and Tirschitz hop growing regions was 2.88, 2.80 and 2.63% by weight in the original respectively. In all areas, the alpha acid content has been significantly affected by the age of the hop growths. Hybrid varieties coped with adverse weather conditions much better than most aromatic hops. The total production of alpha acids in Czech hops from the harvest of 2022 was 182.9 tons, one of the lowest in the last 15 years. It is due to the concurrence of two factors: the low yield per hectare and the content of alpha acids in Saaz hops. The cause was, similarly to Germany, an extreme deficit of precipitation and high temperatures during the vegetation season.
Modelación de errores de concordancia plural en español LE mediante sistemas dinámicos
Authors: Marafioti Pablo Ezequiel
Published: February 2023

Propósito: Se modelan los errores de concordancias nominales plurales para un corpus de español de cuatro aprendientes de español como lengua extranjera: SONIA (nivel A1/A2), NATI (nivel B1), JAKO (nivel B2), MIRKA (nivel C1). Metodología: En el marco de los sistemas dinámicos, se postula que las concordancias “correcta” e “incorrecta” constituyen  atractores discretos estables a los cuales converge el flujo continuo del sistema en tres modelos simples de simulación: Lokta-Volterra, juego de coordinación (teoría de los juegos evolutiva),  ascenso de gradiente. Resultados: En general los modelos aproximan mejor el patrón de error global que el de sesiones. En este último, el modelo basado en Lokta-Volterra ofrece mejor desempeño para SONIA, NATI y JAKO. MIRKA obtiene el peor desempeño en todos los modelos pero su error disminuye con el modelo de ascenso de gradiente. Conclusión: los patrones de aprendizaje se auto-organizan y emergen de la dinámica de micro-sistemas de concordancia.
Aprendiendo con los grafitis: estudiantes de español frente al paisaje lingüístico tabuizado
Authors: Fainstein Paula Elizabeth
Published: February 2023

Durante los intercambios académicos, el estudiantado está en contacto conel paisaje lingüístico (PL). En este trabajo nos proponemos conocer las actitudeslingüísticas de estudiantes de ELSE hacia el tabú lingüístico (TL). Para eso, recogimos muestras de signos tabuizados detectados dentro de los baños de una universidad. Los datos fueron utilizados en encuestas realizadas a estudiantes que estuvieron en inmersión lingüística presencial o en línea. Con las muestras recogidas describimos el PL tabuizado con el que estuvieron en contacto quienes realizaron el intercambio presencial. Los resultados de las encuestas permitieron indagar el conocimiento que tiene el estudiantado de las expresiones tabuizadas en español y, además, caracterizar sus actitudes lingüísticas hacia el TL.
Concluimos que el estudiantado, si bien manifiesta una actitud lingüística predispuesta a tratar el TL, carece de la competencia comunicativa que le permitiría ser usuario competente en relación con las expresiones tabúes. Así, este tipo de experiencias justifican la necesidad de incluir el TL como parte de los contenidos de la clase de ELSE.

En este documento se socializarán los resultados del proyecto Tintiando en la Aurora, cuyo propósito fue recolectar y difundir los relatos que se entretejen en las fincas cafeteras de Caldas y compendiarlos en un libro que destaque las prácticas socioculturales del pueblo paisa. A su vez, en una cadena de colaboración, la propuesta Tintiando en La Aurora, surge a partir del proyecto de aula Cuentos y leyendas del café, en el que los estudiantes de la asignatura Introducción a la Sociolingüística, en una primera fase, levantaron un corpus de audios para ser compendiado y examinado a la luz de los modelos de análisis de la etnografía del habla de Dell Hymes (1996) y el análisis de la sintaxis narrativa de William Labov (1988). En esta nueva fase, los estudiantes del semillero de Sociolingüística, basados en los análisis anteriores, establecieron criterios de selección del material para describir y comprender los aspectos lingüísticos y socioculturales que subyacen tras las narrativas y leyendas de la tradición oral cafetera. Finalmente, se presenta una obra que permite conocer y difundir las historias del café para contribuir al mantenimiento y preservación del patrimonio cultural caldense y se socializa mediante la metodología de taller de aula.
Filosofía Intercultural y Nuestra Améfrica Profunda
Authors: Mendes de Menezes Magali
Published: February 2023

O presente texto pretende refletir sobre a interculturalidade e sua necesidade histórica, através de dois autores centrais, Raúl Fornet-Betancourt e LéliaGonzalez. O conhecimento dos porvos indígenas e  negros foi apagado e nem sequer reconhecido como conhecimento filosófico. Qusndo se reconhece a  filosofia amerindia, se faz em comparação com a filosofia ocidental e com tudo que esta produziu. Neste sentido, la Filosofia Intercultural coloca o desafio de repensar la filosofia desde outras experiências de pensamento. O epistemicidio expõe o racismo em que vivimos. O encontro do filósofo cubano com a filósofa brasileira, uma mulher negra, dará força a uma categoria de pensamento que pretendo desenvolver, Améfrica Profunda, para melhor compreender este país chamado Brasil e a forma em que as resistências dos povos indígenas e negros se constituiram, también  a partir de profundas experiencias interculturais.
Eurocentrismo, filosofía y la invisibilización del pensamiento ético mapuche
Authors: Santibáñez Daniel
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo plantea que el canon y la tradición filosófica occidental siguen siendo la concepción dominante en el ámbito de la educación media y universitaria. Esta situación ha permitido que se impongan y perpetúen históricamente en la academia latinoamericana, reafirmando así la condición colonial del quehacer filosófico y, en consecuencia, incidir en los discursos, prácticas e instituciones. En esta dirección, en el primer apartado se propone una reflexión crítica acerca del concepto de normalidad filosófica y sus proyecciones en el filosofar latinoamericano y en la enseñanza de la filosofía. En el segundo apartado se problematiza la naturalización de la colonialidad implicada en la aceptación de la normalidad filosófica, en términos de la imposición del eurocentrismo cultural y epistémico, en los procesos de la enseñanza actual de la filosofía. Este breve recorrido permitirá, finalmente, mostrar que la exclusión y el privilegio del filosofar europeo, resultan ser factores que limitarían la posibilidad de otorgar validez y legitimidad a otras formas de pensamiento.
Migration and Epistemic Violence
Authors: Boteva-Richter Bianca
Published: February 2023

In this article an attempt is made to localize epistemological violence and to unravel and unmask power structures, including points of friction between the migrating individual and the local community. In addition, a new type of subject is presented, which, on the one hand, reveals the power structures inherent in the individual and in the society containing it, and on the other hand, through the extended model of existence, offers opportunities for a coexistence, which would be marked by solidarity and fairness and would occur by way of interpersonal connections. Using examples of power structures in language courses, in universities, and in the loss of cultural values through migration, epistemic violence is tracked and presented not only theoretically, but also factually.
Features of the historical self-identification of the “Philosophy of Liberation”: the role of the intellectual personality
Authors: Basmanov Alexey
Published: February 2023

This article examines the views of Latin American philosophers on the process of formation of the Latin American subject of history, its characteristic features, as well as the role of the intellectual in this process. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the position of the prominent Argentine philosopher A. A. Roig, and to compare his position with the position of another well-known representative of the philosophy of liberation (E. Dussel). In this paper therefore, Roig's works devoted to the philosophical interpretation of the process of formation and development of Latin American national thought are analyzed. It is established that in the writings of this thinker the activity of Latin American people appears as the activity of a single collective subject of history. During the study, we conclude that both philosophers (Roig and Dussel), come to the same idea in different ways: the intellectual identity of the Latin American collective subject of history is based on the history of interaction between the people of Latin America and Europe, unique in its dramatic nature and same for the entire continent. The work uses mainly the historical and bibliographic method, as well as the method of comparative analysis.
La ética del marketing en Colombia desde la mirada de algunos expertos de la academia
Authors: Londoño-Cardozo José , Tello-Castrillón Carlos
Published: February 2023

Este trabajo tiene como propósito identificar la ética implícita en el marketing en Colombia a partir de la visión de profesores expertos de las mejores universidades del país. El diseño metodológico fue el análisis hermenéutico de la información recogida en entrevistas semidirigidas. Los resultados identifican que la ética impartida en los pregrados de Colombia: tiene una postura moral hegemónica basada en la ética utilitarista; es importante para el profesional de mercadeo; deviene de la moral religiosa; se enseña a través de códigos de ética y tiende a ser incluida transversalmente en los currículos. Varias universidades incorporan, transversalmente, cuestiones éticas en sus currículos, mientras que otras eliminan o dejan a elección del estudiante el aprendizaje de este componente. El enfoque de ética que se imparte en los programas de pregrado en marketing en Colombia debe ser revisado, para evitar fenómenos del contexto nacional que se consideran inadecuados, como la competencia desleal o la publicidad engañosa.

Impacto de las características de los hogares urbanos en las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en Ibagué, Colombia
Authors: Sierra-Ramírez Erika , Andrade-Castañeda Hernán Jair , Segura-Madrigal Milena Andrea
Published: February 2023

Se examinó el impacto de algunas características sociodemográficas y socioeconómicas de los hogares urbanos de la ciudad de Ibagué, Colombia, en las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero - GEI, provenientes del consumo de energía eléctrica y uso de combustibles fósiles para transporte y preparación de alimentos. Se aplicó una encuesta semiestructurada a 1816 hogares de los 170.170 existentes. Las emisiones de GEI en los hogares de Ibagué están relacionadas de forma significativa con el estrato socioeconómico, tamaño del hogar y composición del hogar (p<0,01). Las emisiones por hogar del estrato socioeconómico 2 son las más bajas, sin embargo en el año 2018 esos hogares aportaron el 41% de las emisiones. Las ciudades requieren de estrategias de mitigación basadas en el comportamiento y en soluciones basadas en la naturaleza para reducir las emisiones de CO2, provenientes del consumo de energía eléctrica y uso de combustibles fósiles.

The taxonomic identification of species through analysis of the variation of orthologous DNA sequences, complement the information obtained with morphological characters. Cytogenetic studies indicate that polyploid taxa occur in the subfamily Opuntioideae, Opuntia ficus-indica, contributing to morphological variability in the individuals of a population, and influencing the correct identification of species. However, the lengths of the sequences in Opuntioideae are affected by the extraction of pure DNA. Different extraction methods were evaluated and modified, and a procedure was established to obtain good quality DNA, free of inhibitors for gene amplification by polymerase chain reaction. The ratio A260/A280 and A260/A230 ranged from 1.6 to 2.1, revealing absence of contamination with the modified protocol for DNA extraction from cotton leaves. This method is inexpensive compared to those of commercial manufacturers and, therefore, can be applied in studies with limited resources.

En este artículo se establece el diseño de un sistema de alertas tempranas de inundación en el río Arauca, municipio de Arauca, Colombia. La información del estudio se extrae del IDEAM y es procesada obteniendo un modelo a través de las variables intervinientes, como: precipitación, nivel y caudal. Este modelo de información suministra la data al modelo matemático para el cauce del río, que se obtiene a partir de tres clases de tendencias: lineal, potencia y relaciones potenciales. El modelo del cauce se compara con un observador basado en técnicas inteligentes, redes neuronales y ANFIS en este caso, que al hacer la diferencia de sus salidas genera un residuo encargado de suministrar la información que proporciona el estado actual de nivel del río bajo estudio. Esta información permite generar las alertas que son atendidas por las entidades del gobierno dedicadas a la gestión del riesgo.

En este trabajo se analizan los testimonios de docentes de tres generaciones que participaron en el Diplomado Ser Docente Ser Persona que trabaja de manera particular la formación socio emocional. Se identificó un conjunto de experiencias y aprendizajes que favorecen la dimensión personal y profesional del docente especialmente el cuidado de sí, del otro y de su profesión. A través de una sistematización de cuestionarios de evaluación y un proceso de codificación, categorización y análisis, sobresale la necesidad de adquirir una formación en torno a la dimensión humana y relacional del quehacer docente. La investigación evidenció la necesidad de trabajar desde el cuidado de sí mismo y las experiencias propias para lograr un impacto directo en las relaciones interpersonales entre docentes, con sus alumnos y respecto a su identidad profesional. También, se encontró que la formación de habilidades socio emocionales desde la ética del cuidado de sí es un aporte importante para la innovación educativa, así como para catalizar la revaloración y rehumanización del docente.

Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio que buscó conocer las perspectivas del profesorado de un contexto escolar urbano sobre la educación ambiental y las estrategias que implementan. Para ello, desde un abordaje cualitativo interpretativo, se conformaron seis grupos focales en los que participaron veinticinco docentes. Con el apoyo del software Nvivo, se hizo un análisis temático, del cual emergieron las categorías: creencias y prácticas de educación ambiental, preocupaciones ambientales y construcción de sentido. Los resultados evidencian tanto perspectivas híbridas orientadas a las corrientes naturalista y antropocéntrica como la preferencia de prácticas educativas encaminadas al conservacionismo y el activismo. Se concluye que, aunque las concepciones y propuestas no favorecen el desarrollo de una educación ambiental, hay una construcción de sentido en el profesorado orientado a la consideración de aspectos naturales y sociales, a la crítica a la sociedad del consumo y a una mirada reflexiva sobre su alcances y limitaciones para abordar la educación ambiental, cuya formación tanto conceptual como científica es imperativa.
Aprender a aprender en la virtualidad: experiencias estudiantiles durante la pandemia por covid-19
Authors: Barbey Lourdes , Cavallo Chiara , Monjelat Natalia
Published: February 2023

A partir de una investigación mixta, exploratoria y descriptiva, el presente artículo se propone, por un lado, identificar las estrategias didácticas y los recursos tecnológicos utilizados en el contexto de la pandemia por covid-19 y de la enseñanza remota de emergencia (ERE); y, por otra parte, evidenciar las estrategias y didácticas que favorecieron el acto de aprender durante los cursos remotos. Como instrumento de indagación, se administró una encuesta semiestructurada con preguntas abiertas y cerradas, en la que un grupo de estudiantes universitarias reportó sus experiencias. Los hallazgos muestran valoraciones positivas y negativas respecto de la experiencia de aprendizaje en la ERE. Además, se evidencian coincidencias y disonancias entre lo utilizado por el docente en su enseñanza y lo identificado como favorecedor por las estudiantes para sus aprendizajes. Considerar los aspectos favorables para aprender, desde la perspectiva de las estudiantes, es fundamental para diseñar e implementar estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje, no solo en entornos virtuales. De esta forma, los datos aportados permiten revisar las propuestas de enseñanza a futuro, en un contexto cambiante donde la educación virtual se entrelaza con experiencias presenciales.

This strengthening is a step towards realizing a civil society that can practice its religious teachings well and is literate in developing technology and information. This community service program aimed to form a cohesive community and increase community understanding of the concept of civil society. The method used was ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) by emphasizing community development on the assets they already have. The results of this community service program show that the assets owned by the community are spiritual assets which are the main capital for forming a civil society with the frame of community and religious rules. The program also strengthened the relationship between religious communities and improved religious understanding and knowledge of the development of information technology.
