Bases epistemológicas da educação do campo
Authors: Albuquerque Joelma de Oliveira , Taffarel Celi Nelza Zülke , Gama Carolina Nozella
Published: June 2022

Discutir a Educação do Campo criticamente perpassa pelo estudo de suas bases filosóficas e epistemológicas. Nesta perspectiva, esse artigo objetiva discutir os aspectos filosóficos e epistemológicos da Educação do Campo no bojo das tendências pedagógicas contra-hegemônicas contemporâneas. Para tanto, recuperou-se o balanço da produção do conhecimento sobre a Educação do Campo, atualizando-o. Constatou-se a hegemonia dos estudos que utilizam a expressão Educação do Campo em detrimento ao uso do termo Educação Rural, sinalizando a necessidade de novos estudos sistemáticos. Afinal, a adoção do termo não indica, necessariamente, o comprometimento com o campo pedagógico crítico.
A planaridade na teoria modernista de Greenberg e seu paralelismo com a produção artística de Piet Mondrian e Lygia Clark
Authors: Gontijo Bruno Henrique Fernandes
Published: June 2022

Segundo Clement Greenberg (1960), é inerente à modernidade a realização de uma autocrítica pelo viés do interior, utilizando-se dos próprios meios do que está sendo criticado. O objetivo central do ensaio é correlacionar os conceitos desenvolvidos no artigo “Pintura Modernista”, de Greenberg, com a obra de Piet Mondrian e sua reverberação nos trabalhos da primeira fase de Lygia Clark. Através da ênfase na planaridade, presente tanto nas pinturas e teorias neoplásticas de Mondrian quanto nos quadros concretos de Clark, a arte pictórica utilizou seus próprios mecanismos para se alcançar uma “pureza” universal e refletir sobre a sua razão de existir.
Património. Cultura. Web
Authors: França Carlos
Published: June 2022

Procurou-se neste artigo fazer uma abordagem heterodoxa do património, uma área do conhecimento humano vasta e complexa que reúne múltiplos saberes, práticas de investigação heterogéneas e uma pluralidade de sistemas de pensamento. O património é habitualmente considerado um território de referência indiscutível para a história, a arqueologia, a arquitectura e o urbanismo nas áreas da conservação, recuperação e restauro, tendo assumido ultimamente bastante relevo no âmbito do ensino e do turismo cultural e religioso. A nossa abordagem optou por uma visão do património que incidisse sobretudo nas suas vertentes cultural, humanista, artística e civilizacional tendo, por outro lado, feito recair o foco da análise em áreas que compreendem a filosofia, a arte, a teoria da cultura e a técnica (Web). Nesse sentido, convém ainda destacar nesta abordagem o contributo de alguns pensadores, cujos conceitos e problemáticas permitiram abrir novas pistas sobre a interacção entre património, arte, cultura e técnica.

El uso de la resonancia magnética (RM) en el diagnóstico y seguimiento de pacientes con esclerosis múltiple (EM) ha optimizado el cuidado de los pacientes afectados. Diversos grupos internacionales de trabajo han intentado clarificar y normatizar el uso global de la RM pero, en muchas ocasiones, se extrapolan datos de otras regiones que no contemplan la realidad de cada lugar o son difíciles de implementar. Objetivo: Consensuar aspectos relacionados con el uso de RM en el diagnóstico y seguimiento de pacientes con EM en el Perú. Material y Métodos: Un grupo de expertos peruanos, conformado por neurólogos y radiólogos, condujo la elaboración del consenso mediante metodología de ronda de encuestas a la distancia. Resultados: Las recomendaciones, basadas en la evidencia publicada y en el criterio de los expertos, enfocaron tanto el rol de las técnicas convencionales de RM como el de la medición de la atrofia cerebral en pacientes con EM al momento del diagnóstico y durante el periodo de seguimiento. Conclusiones: Las recomendaciones del consenso podrán potencialmente homogenizar y optimizar el cuidado y seguimiento de pacientes con EM en nuestro país.

Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı, gebelik yaşı ≤32 hafta olan prematüre bebeklerde D vitamini düzeyinin geç başlangıçlı sepsis gelişimine etkisini değerlendirmektir. Çalışma grubunu gestasyon yaşı ≤32 hafta olan ve kültür ile kanıtlanmış geç başlangıçlı sepsis saptanan yenidoğanlar oluştururken, yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan, ≤32 gebelik haftası olan ve klinik veya laboratuvar enfeksiyon bulgusu olmayan yenidoğanlar kontrol grubunu oluşturmaktadır. 58'inde (%47,5) kültürle kanıtlanmış geç başlangıçlı sepsis (çalışma grubu) varken, 64'ünde (%52,5) sepsis belirti veya semptomu yoktu (kontrol grubu). Çalışma grubunun ortanca 25-hidroksivitamin D (25-OHD) seviyeleri, kontrol grubunun ortanca 25-OHD seviyelerinden anlamlı derecede düşüktü (10,2 ng/ml'ye karşın 18,3 ng/ml; p=0,0001). D vitamini düzeyi düşük bebeklerin oranı çalışma grubunda kontrol grubuna kıyasla istatistiksel anlamlı olarak daha yüksek (25-OHD düzeyi <15 ng/ml) bulundu (50/58, %86'ya karşın 23/64, %36; p=0,0001). 25-OHD düzeyi düşük olan prematüre bebeklerin, normal 25-OHD düzeyine sahip prematüre bebeklere kıyasla geç başlangıçlı sepsis yaşama olasılığı15.2 (%95 güven aralığı (GA):5,14-45,10; p=0,0001) kat daha fazlaydı. Prematüre ve term yenidoğanlarda neonatal sepsisin önlenmesi için yeterli bağışıklık fonksiyonu için belirlenmiş bir optimal 25-OHD seviyesi yoktur ancak bu çalışmada geç başlangıçlı sepsisi olan prematüre bebeklerin, erken başlangıçlı sepsisi olmayan prematüre bebeklere kıyasla önemli ölçüde daha düşük 25-OHD düzeylerine sahip olduğu ve düşük 25-OHD seviyelerinin yenidoğanın geç başlangıçlı sepsis riskini arttırdığı bulunmuştur.

Authors: Indriani Revi , Akmam Akmam , Mufit Fatni , Hidayat Rahmat , Sari Silvi Yulia
Published: June 2022

Ideally, students who study Computational Physics are required to think computationally. However, student learning outcomes tend to be low. Low learning outcomes are suspected by students having difficulties. One of the causes of learning difficulties is students' attitude in responding to learning. This study aims to determine student attitudes in studying Computational Physics and the factors influencing student learning difficulties. This research is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The population in this study were students of Physics FMIPA UNP. The sample in this research is students who take Computational Physics courses in January-June 2021. The data analysis technique used is the multivariate analysis based on factor loading testing with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using Lisrel 8.80. The results showed that students' attitudes toward Computational Physics were good, with a percentage of student responses of 67.16%. Factors that influence learning difficulties are internal factors in the form of psychological factors in the aspect of interest (65%), motivational aspects (58%), and aspects of study habits (49%). Meanwhile, external factors do not affect students' difficulties in studying Computational Physics. Further research, it is necessary to carry out a similar analysis by taking into account other factors that are thought to influence the attitudes and difficulties of students in studying Computational Physics, both internal and external factors, so that they are better in determining the next steps to overcome student difficulties in studying Computational Physics.

In this paper, their basis and main aspects are presented. The experiment has demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages of the studied methods. Considering this, conclusions and recommendations to their usage cases were made.
Mieux comprendre l'écologie des chênes : quelques attentes de praticiens vis-à-vis des chercheurs
Authors: Wilhelm Georg Josef
Published: June 2022

De tous temps, les chênes ont eu un rôle important dans les écosystèmes forestiers et pour la satisfaction des besoins de l´homme. De nos jours, la gestion des chênes fait face à un ensemble de défis liés à leur difficulté de renouvellement face à la concurrence du Hêtre, du Charme, mais aussi du Bouleau et d´autres essences pionnières. Les stress progressifs du changement climatique appellent à promouvoir la réactivité des chênes, mais aussi à tirer profit de leurs capacités spécifiques à se réorganiser à l´âge avancé. Le rôle des mulots dans la dissémination des glands, la tolérance à l´oïdium, le détourage des houppiers et leur auto-réorganisation sont autant de thématiques à approfondir dans l´échange entre la recherche et la pratique.
Une vie de typographe : point des connaissances sur la biologie d'Ips typographus (Linnaeus 1758)
Authors: Nageleisen Louis-Michel , Grégoire Jean-Claude
Published: June 2022

Le typographe (Ips typographus) est un scolyte (Coléoptère scolytinae) dont l’hôte principal en Europe est l’Epicéa commun. Capable de développer plusieurs générations dans l’année en fonction des conditions climatiques, des pullulations sont régulièrement observées après des événements lui offrant d’innombrables sites de reproduction comme les chablis après tempête ou des peuplements affaiblis par des sécheresses. À la suite d’une lente coévolution entre l’insecte et son hôte, le typographe a développé une stratégie de colonisation lui permettant de dépasser les réactions de défense de l’arbre et de coloniser des arbres sains en période de pullulation. Cette caractéristique en fait le plus important tueur d’arbres parmi les insectes en Europe. A la suite de canicules et sécheresses inédites au cours des dernières années, le forestier est confronté à des dommages très importants dans les pessières, dans un contexte socioéconomique tel qu’il est difficile d’intervenir efficacement pour contrer l’épidémie en cours.

Published: June 2022

Separation and detection of cells and particles in a suspension are essential for various applications, including biomedical investigations and clinical diagnostics. Microfluidics realizes the miniaturization of analytical devices by controlling the motion of a small volume of fluids in microchannels and microchambers. Accordingly, microfluidic devices have been widely used in particle/ cell manipulation processes. Different microfluidic methods for particle separation include dielectrophoretic, magnetic, optical, acoustic, hydrodynamic, and chemical techniques. Dielectrophoresis (DEP) is a method for manipulating polarizable particles’ trajectories in non-uniform electric fields using unique dielectric characteristics. It provides several advantages for dealing with neutral bioparticles owing to its sensitivity, selectivity, and noninvasive nature. This review provides a detailed study on the signal-based DEP methods that use the applied signal parameters, including frequency, amplitude, phase, and shape for cell/particle separation and manipulation. Rather than employing complex channels or time-consuming fabrication procedures, these methods realize sorting and detecting the cells/particles by modifying the signal parameters while using a simple device. In addition, these methods can significantly impact clinical diagnostics by making low-cost and rapid separation possible.
Can Citizen Science in the Humanities and Social Sciences Deliver on the Sustainability Goals?
Authors: Henke Justus
Published: June 2022

Both the sustainability discourse and the debate on citizen science are strongly focused on the natural and technical sciences. However, numerous participatory research activities can be identified in the social sciences and humanities that address sustainability issues of various kinds. However, these have hardly been studied so far, and their contribution to addressing sustainability challenges is poorly known. The study investigates which sustainability topics are taken up by citizen science in the humanities and social sciences, which factors influence the choice of topics, and its implications. For this purpose, the concept of Citizen Social Science (CSS) is taken up and sustainability is operationalized via the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and its specific Targets. Based on a collection of CSS activities in Germany, the addressed sustainability topics are identified accordingly. The findings indicate a focus on three of the 17 SDGs, while at the same time the project consortia are very heterogeneous and, depending on their composition, focus on different topics. CSS shows particular strengths here through its multi-stakeholder approach. However, the linking of Citizen Science with the SDGs requires further formalization so that its transformative effects can be incorporated into SDG monitoring and the scientific institutions need additional incentives to participate in CSS.
Exploration and Path Analysis of The Negative Impact of Digital Tools in The TOE Framework
Authors: Chen Zeming , Huang Jianhong
Published: June 2022

[Research Objective] In the context of the rapid development of digital governance, understanding and analyzing the burden level of digital tools in the process of serving digital governance from multiple perspectives is an important prerequisite for improving the capacity and accuracy of government digital governance, promoting sustainable public participation, and maximizing digital value in the new era. [Research Method] By constructing a model of the burden of digital tools caused by technical, organizational and environmental factors on the public based on the TOE framework, using SPSS for data testing based on 275 research questionnaires, and using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the linkage ways and paths of the burden-increasing effect of digital tools in a holistic perspective. [Research findings] does not constitute a necessary condition for high levels of digital tool affordances under a single condition, but improving users' digital literacy plays a more general role in optimising the efficiency of digital tool use. According to the results, there are five dominant patterns that have a significant impact, i.e. the driving paths that lead to high levels of digital tool affordability are characterised by a "homogeneous approach". In the cross-group study, significant differences were found in the driving paths of high digital tool affordability by group, depending on the level of digital tool mastery. This paper suggests that the government should continue to pay attention to affordability levels, rationalise the use of financial resources, improve the level of digital tool adaptation, and innovate the existing performance evaluation system for digital governance indicators.
Characterization of a Nonlinear Equality Composed of Multiple Products of Matrices and their Generalized Inverses
Authors: Tian Yongge
Published: June 2022

One of matrix equalities composed of multiple products of matrices and their generalized inverses is given by $A_1B_1^{-}A_2B_2^{-} \cdots A_kB_k^{-}A_{k+1}= A$ where $A_1$, $B_1$, $A_2$, $B_2$, $\ldots$, $A_k$, $B_k$, $A_{k+1}$, and $A$ are given matrices of appropriate sizes, and $B_1^{-}$, $B_2^{-}$, $\cdots$, $B_k^{-}$ are generalized inverses of matrices. The cases for $k = 1, 2$ and their special forms were properly approached in the theory of generalized inverses of matrices. In this note, the author presents an algebraic procedure to derive explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for the equality with $k = 3$ to always hold using certain rank equalities for the block matrices constructed by the given matrices, and then mention a key step of extending the previous work to a general situation.
The Heavy Mineral Map of Australia: Vision and Pilot Project
Authors: De Caritat Patrice , McInnes Brent I.A. , Walker Alexander T. , Bastrakov Evgeniy , Rowins Stephen M. , Prent Alexander M.
Published: June 2022

We describe a vision for a national-scale heavy mineral (HM) map generated through automated mineralogical identification and quantification of HMs contained in floodplain sediments from large catchments covering most of Australia. The composition of the sediments reflects the dominant rock types in each catchment, with the generally resistant HMs largely preserving the mineralogical fingerprint of their host protoliths through the weathering-transport-deposition cycle. Heavy mineral presence/absence, absolute and relative abundance, and co-occurrence are metrics useful to map, discover and interpret catchment lithotype(s), geodynamic setting, magmatism, metamorphic grade, alteration or mineralization. Underpinning this vision is a pilot project, focusing on a subset of the national sediment sample archive, which is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the larger, national-scale project. We preview a bespoke, cloud-based mineral network analysis (MNA) tool to visualize, explore and discover relationships between HMs as well as between them and geological setting or mineral deposits. We envisage that the Heavy Mineral Map of Australia and MNA tool will contribute significantly to mineral prospectivity analysis and modeling here, particularly for technology critical elements and their host minerals, which are central to the global economy transitioning to a more sustainable, decarbonized paradigm.
The Intersection of Genome, Epigenome and Social Experience in Autism: Exploring Modifiable Pathways for Intervention
Authors: Strathearn Lane , Momany Allison , Kovacs Emese , Guiler William , Ladd-Acosta Christine
Published: June 2022

The number of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased substantially over the past two decades with current research unable to fully account for this dramatic increase in prevalence. One explanation proposes that both intrinsic (e.g., genetic) and extrinsic (e.g., environmental) risk factors may be involved in the etiology of ASD. The goal of this review paper is to explore modifiable pathways for intervention in children at risk for ASD, specifically examining how early social experience may be correlated with epigenetic change in genes associated with autism. We present an innovative model which proposes that polygenic risk and social experience (via epigenetic mechanisms) may both contribute to the observed ASD phenotype. Previous research on genetic, environmental, and epigenetic mechanisms implicated in the etiology of ASD will be reviewed, with an emphasis on the oxytocin receptor gene, which is epigenetically altered by early social experience, plays a crucial role in mammalian social and cognitive development, and is associated with both genetic and epigenetic risk for ASD. Identifying intrinsic (e.g., genetic) and extrinsic (e.g., social experience) risk markers for ASD, a combination of which has not previously been examined, would transform our understanding of this condition, facilitate earlier identification of ASD risk, and guide early intervention efforts. This may have a far-reaching impact on individuals with ASD, their families, and society.
The Impact of Soil Cohesiveness on Earth-fill Dam Stability under Rapid Drawdown
Authors: Mkilima Timoth
Published: June 2022

For embankment slope stability, soil cohesivity is one of the most important shear strength parameters. The effect of cohesiveness on the slope stability of a homogeneous embankment dam under rapid drawdown loading conditions was examined in this study. With the use of numerical modeling in GeoStudio, different situations were explored based on cohesiveness (0 kN/m2, 5 kN/m2, 10 kN/m2, and 15 kN/m2) under a 1 m per day drawdown rate. The factor of safety value obtained from the long-term steady-state condition under 15 kN/m2 cohesion was equivalent to a 116.8% increase from the one obtained under 0 kN/m2 cohesion. The factor of safety values obtained after subjecting the embankment to different soil cohesion levels yielded a p-value of 1.91 x 10-41, according to the Analysis of Variance. The calculated p-value (alpha value) is less than 0.05, suggesting that the differences between the examined cohesiveness values based on the list of the factor of safety values are statistically significant. The findings derived in this study show that it is significant to capture the effect of material characteristics during the design phase of an embankment dam.
Different Modes of Combustion Wave on a Lattice Burner
Authors: Novozhilov Vasily , Lidskii Boris , Posvyanskii Vladimir
Published: June 2022

Stabilization of planar premixed flame front on a lattice (porous) burner is considered. It is rigorously mathematically proved that there exist two different stabilization regimes: one with flame front located nearby the surface of the burner, and another with flame front located inside the lattice. These two regimes result in qualitatively different gas temperature profiles along the flow, that is monotonic and non-monotonic, respectively. Boundary between the two regimes is described in terms of dependence of the lattice solid material temperature on flow Peclet number. Likewise temperature profiles, such dependencies may be both monotonic and non-monotonic. Transition between the two types of dependencies is controlled by Arrhenius number. Conclusions of the study are supported by numerical analysis. They also compare favourably with available experimental data. Novelty of the present approach is fundamentally rigorous analytical analysis of the problem.

Authors: Chahyadhi Bachtiar , Widjanarti Maria Paskanita , Ada' Yeremia Rante , Suratna Farhana Syahrotun Nisa , Wijayanti Reni
Published: June 2022

Background: Noise intensity that exceeds Threshold Limit Value (TLV) can give impacts on non-auditory on the workers in a factory, in the form of an increase in blood pressure and pulse rate. Currently, health problems due to noise have caused the company’s total loss to reach 300 billion dollars due to absenteeism rate, decreased productivity, and treatment for occupational diseases. Research in Indonesia, especially the textile industry in the city of Surakarta, shows that noise from weaving machines with an intensity above 100 dBA affects blood pressure and pulse rate. This research was conducted at textile industry in Surakarta, one of the largest textile companies in Surakarta where the company has not been able to overcome the problem of noise intensity that exceeds the TLV which has the potential to cause blood pressure and pulse disturbances, and even decreased hearing function. This study aims to determine the relationship between noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate in textile industry workers. 

Method: This research is a correlation study, which is connecting the measurement variables of noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate. The sample in this study were 30 female workers in the weaving division who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The instruments used in measuring noise were sound level meters and sphygmomanometers. Data analysis used the Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship between noise intensity with blood pressure and pulse rate disturbances.

Result: The study showed significant correlation between noise intensity and pulse rate with a p value of 0.029, but noise intensity with blood pressure disturbances does not correlate, with a p value of 0.443.

Conclusion: There is a relationship between noise intensity and pulse rate of the workers in a factory.

 
Gaya Bahasa dalam Puisi Aḥinnu ilá Khubzi Ummī Karya Mahmoud Darwish
Authors: Salbiah Rahma
Published: June 2022

Literature is an art mediated by language, while literary works are a product of imagination with the medium of language. A poem is a literary work that has a dense language of figures and symbols. Therefore, research is needed to analyse the meaning of a poem. One of the analyses of poem research is using stylistic analysis. The poem that is the object of this study is the poem Aḥinnu ilá Khubzi Ummī by Mahmoud Darwish. This poem describes the poet's longing for his mother, which is full of figurative language. This study aims to describe the various styles of language in the poem Aḥinnu ilá Khubzi Ummī by Mahmoud Darwish. The method used is a content analysis by describing the form of language style in Mahmoud Darwish’s poem. The results of this study indicate that the author uses several language styles in the poem, which include (1) hyperbole, (2) paradox, and (3) personification.
Racial and Ethnic Inequities in Paid Family and Medical Leave: United States, 2011 and 2017–2018
Authors: Goodman Julia M. , Richardson Dawn M. , Dow William H.
Published: June 2022

Objectives. To examine racial and ethnic inequities in paid family and medical leave (PFML) access and the extent to which these inequities are mediated by employment characteristics.

Methods. We used data from the 2011 and 2017–2018 American Time Use Survey in the United States to describe paid leave access by race/ethnicity. We present unadjusted models, models stratified by policy-targetable employment characteristics, and adjusted regression models.

Results. We found that 54.4% of non-Hispanic White workers reported access to PFML in 2017–2018 but that access was significantly lower among Asian, Black, and Hispanic workers. Inequities were strongest among private-sector and nonunionized workers. Leave access improved slightly between 2011 and 2017–2018, but the inequity patterns were unchanged.

Conclusions. We observed large and significant racial and ethnic inequities in access to PFML that were only weakly mediated by job characteristics. PFML has a range of health benefits for workers and their families, but access remains limited and inequitable.

Public Health Implications. Our findings suggest that broad PFML mandates (such as those in other high-income countries) may be needed to substantially narrow racial and ethnic gaps in paid leave access. (Am J Public Health. 2022;112(7):1050–1058. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306825 )

Published: June 2022

Background:

The 24-question Early-Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire (EOSQ-24) is a proxy measure assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS). There exists an increasing need to assess HRQoL through a child’s own perspective, particularly for older children and adolescents with EOS. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a self-reported questionnaire, the Early-Onset Scoliosis Self-Report Questionnaire (EOSQ-SELF), to assess HRQoL in older children and adolescents with EOS.

Methods:

A literature review, an expert focus group, and patient interviews were used to generate a preliminary survey of appropriate domains and question items. This survey was provided to English-speaking patients with EOS who were 8 to 18 years of age and capable of answering survey questions. Content validity was assessed for clarity and relevance of questions. Confirmatory factors analysis was performed to reduce the number of items and determine domains that fit items. Reliability was evaluated by measuring the internal consistency of items and test-retest reliability. Construct validity was evaluated by convergent, discriminant, and known-group validity.

Results:

The literature review, expert focus group, and patient interviews identified 59 questions in 14 domains. Psychometric analysis reduced these to 30 questions across 12 domains: General Health, Pain/Discomfort, Pulmonary Function, Transfer, Physical Function/Daily Living, Participation, Fatigue/Energy Level, Sleep, Appearance, Relationships, Emotion, and Satisfaction. The final questionnaire was found to have good content and construct validity and adequate reliability.

Conclusions:

The EOSQ-SELF is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring self-reported HRQoL among older children and adolescents with EOS (ages 8 to 18 years). This will serve as an important research outcome measure and enhance clinical care by providing a better understanding of HRQoL for these patients.

El objetivo de la investigación es determinar de qué manera las medidas del Estado de Emergencia dispuestas por el gobierno peruano frente al Covid-19 impactan en una empresa iqueña de distribución logística de materiales de construcción y otros agregados, para lo cual se realizó una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo, de alcance explicativo de diseño no experimental - transversal, comprendido en el periodo de marzo a diciembre del 2020, en el cual se aplicó una encuesta para una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 88 trabajadores de la empresa en estudio. Se concluye, luego de la realización de una regresión lineal, que existe un impacto positivo en promedio entre la variable independiente (medidas de Estado de Emergencia) y la variable dependiente (el servicio de distribución logística de la empresa en estudio). Asimismo, se obtuvo que cada una de las tres dimensiones principales de la variable independiente (medidas de salud pública, restricciones en actividades económicas y restricciones a la libertad de circulación) impactaron en la distribución logística de la empresa. Estos impactos fueron principalmente económicos, debido a que las medidas causaron un incremento en costos fijos y variables como, por ejemplo, implementación de protocolos sanitarios, adquisición de repuestos, mantenimiento de vehículos de carga o pago del personal. Así, se espera que este artículo motive la discusión y estudio de los efectos de las medidas gubernamentales sobre las empresas de distribución logística en contextos similares al de la pandemia, tales como desastres naturales, crisis sociales, políticas, económicas o ambientales.

En la atención educativa existen elementos que impactan sobre el desarrollo de los estudiantes. A pesar de que las políticas públicas en el Perú sobre Educación Inclusiva pretenden cubrir las necesidades educativas de la comunidad sorda, la realidad actual es otra. Esta investigación plantea identificar los factores determinantes en la atención educativa de estudiantes sordos peruanos, a partir de testimonios de expertos en el tema. Se utilizó la metodología de investigación cualitativa, basada en entrevistas semi-estructuradas dirigidas a siete especialistas en Psicología y Educación Básica Especial, de diferentes entidades privadas y del Ministerio de Educación, además de intérpretes de Lengua de Señas Peruana. La información obtenida fue transcrita y analizada con el programa ATLAS.ti 7, aplicándose la codificación abierta, axial, y el análisis temático. Se identificó que factores personales, culturales, familiares, ambientales y educativos son los principales determinantes. Los cuales se entienden por el nivel de desarrollo cognitivo, sensorial y lingüístico, estrategias visuales, necesidades Individuales, políticas educativas, Lengua de Señas Peruana, participación familiar, vulnerabilidad y las competencias estratégicas del equipo multidisciplinario. Con los resultados de este trabajo, se diseñó un programa de sesiones de intervención temprana que busca mejorar la educación de los estudiantes sordos peruanos, el mismo que cubre las necesidades latentes de la comunidad y los agentes educativos.

Frecuencia de déficit de vitamina B12 y su relación con la edad y el género en adultos veganos en Lima Metropolitana 2019
Authors:   , Carriquiry Daly Lucia Iris
Published: June 2022

Introducción: La dieta vegana es un patrón de alimentación muy criticado por varios motivos. Uno de ellos es que, por falta de conocimiento e información, puede conllevar a un déficit de nutrientes como la vitamina B12, la cual presenta una mayor biodisponibilidad en alimentos de origen animal. Es por ello por lo que la suplementación de B12 juega un papel fundamental en la salud de los veganos. Objetivo: Determinar la frecuencia del déficit de vitamina B12 según el género y la edad de los adultos veganos de Lima Metropolitana. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una encuesta a 446 personas de Lima Metropolitana a través de Google Forms, de los cuales 316 (70,9%) se auto declararon veganos. Resultados: Luego de evaluar los criterios de exclusión, solo 73 (23,1%) de los veganos que contestaron la encuesta reportaron sus niveles de B12 en sangre. Se encontró que el 65,8% ellos fueron mujeres, el 97,3% del total conoce la importancia de la suplementación de vitamina B12, y solo el 5,5 % presenta un déficit de esta vitamina. Por último, hubo mayor déficit de vitamina B12 en el grupo etario entre 16 y 29 años con un 5,3% y el déficit fue igual en ambos sexos (2,7%). Conclusión: No existe relación entre edad, sexo y déficit de vitamina B12 en veganos de Lima Metropolitana. La prevalencia de déficit de vitamina B12 fue igual en ambos sexos y fue mayor en el grupo etario entre los 16 y los 29 años (por un participante). A mayor edad, mayor dosaje de vitamina B12.

Published: June 2022

The deteriorating security situation in Burkina Faso has meant that humanitarian assistance programs have now been operating in the country for several years. Over the course of the response, emergency education and child protection interventions seeking the wellbeing of children and their rights to quality education have been prioritised. To achieve the best possible results, the humanitarian community has put in place a coordination mechanism and a ‘big deal’ to ensure synergies and maximise impact. The objective of this study is to draw out the operational dynamics between the actors in the response and to reflect on the results. We have found that this push for coordination has had mixed results—only a few organisations in Burkina have extensive networks with significant centrality for state services. Our study indicates that humanitarian organisations in the fields of protection and education must establish more connections with each other, and especially with local organisations, in line with the Grand Bargain’s mission to strengthen andoptimise responses.

Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. is prescribed as one of the original plants of licorice in Chinese Pharmacopoeia. This herbal medicine possesses numerous important pharmacological activities and has been used in clinic in China since ancient times. Glycyrrhizic acid (GA) is a triterpenoid compound isolated from G. uralensis and also one of the marker components for its quality control. Based on our pervious transcriptome study, three genes, the caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase gene (COMT), the β-carotene 3-hydroxylase gene (CRTZ), and the flavonoid 3’-monooxygenase gene (F3’H), were selected as our target genes due to a high correlation of their expression levels with GA biosynthesis. In this study, we investigated the regulatory effects of these genes on GA biosynthesis through gene editing and overexpression in G. uralensis hairy roots. We observed that neither knockout nor overexpression of any of the genes affects the viability of the transgenic hairy roots, indicating that these genes are not essential for survival of hairy roots. However, compared with the wild type and negative control hairy roots, GA contents were significantly lower in hairy roots overexpressing COMT, CRTZ, and F3’H, while higher in those knocking out the three genes. Our findings demonstrate that the three genes, COMT, CRTZ, and F3’H, all negatively regulate the GA biosynthesis.

Microbiome in the mosquito plays an important role in their behavior and vector competence. The composition of their microbiome is strongly influenced by the environment, especially their habitat. Using 16s rRNA Illumina sequencing, we here compare the microbiome profiles in the adult female Anopheles sinensis from malaria hyperendemic and hypoendemic areas in Korea. The microbiome analysis was performed using QIIME2 and R software programs. In different epidemiology group, the alpha and beta diversity analysis were significant. The major bacterial phylum was Proteobacteria. Most abundant microbiome of hyperendemic mosquito is from the genera Staphylococcus, Erwinia, Serratia, Pantoea. We found distinct microbiome profile which dominated by Pseudomonas synxantha in the hypoendemic region. This suggests that there may be a correlation between the microbiome profile and the incidence of malaria cases.
