Published: October 2022

The meat industry has become increasingly interested in developing products containing new ingredients oriented to consumers’ health. Health benefits are gained from frequent consumption of pecan nut and roselle, which can therefore be used as ingredients in meat product formulations. However, incorporating novel ingredients or reducing the content of traditional ingredients might affect meat product quality, thus needs to be evaluated and optimised for the development of functional foods. The objective of the present work was to assess how pecan nut (0 to 10%), roselle (0 to 2%), and salt (0 to 2%) affect the physicochemical properties, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of beef patties, and use response surface methodology to optimise the content of these ingredients in a meat product formulation. Regression models were developed to predict quality properties. All models were significant (p < 0.05) with an R2 > 0.85 and a nonsignificant lack of fit (p > 0.05), thus indicating that these models could adequately predict response variables. The optimised formulation was 7.97% pecan nut, 1.59% roselle, and 1.08% salt. The predicted physicochemical properties were L* = 42.88, a* = 12.29, b* = 8.51, pH = 5.10, and cooking loss = 24.66%; the antioxidant properties were DPPH = 0.53 mg TE/g fp, ABTS = 0.65 mg TE/g fp, and total phenolic content = 0.46 mg GA/g fp; and the sensory properties were flavour = 7.03, tenderness = 6.98, and juiciness = 7.01. Pecan nut and roselle are promising natural ingredients that can be used to prepare low-salt beef patties.

Published: October 2022

In the present work, Listeria monocytogenes was used as the target strain to investigate the sterilising potential and mechanism of high power pulse microwave (HPPM). Results showed that the inactivation was positively correlated with the pulse frequencies and operating times. The count of Listeria monocytogenes was decreased by 5.09 log CFU/mL under 200 Hz for 9 min, which was used as the optimised condition to further explore the sterilisation mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the L. monocytogenes cells of untreated group presented intact surfaces, clear boundary, and its intracellular contents distributed uniformly in the cytoplasm. Following treatment, the cell wall surfaces began to deform in small areas, and cell membranes were severely ruptured, thus resulting in the appearance of electron transmission areas. Extracellular protein and nucleic acid contents, represented by OD260 nm and OD280 nm, increased with the increase in operating time significantly. After treatment, SDS-PAGE profiles of whole-cell proteins displayed that the protein bands became lighter or even disappeared. Na+ K+-ATPase activities and intracellular ATP content decreased by 72.97 and 79.09%, respectively. This was consistent with the cell viability of L. monocytogenes observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Overall, the sterilisation mechanism of HPPM on L. monocytogenes may be caused by membrane damage, intracellular component leakage, and energy metabolism hindrance.

Published: October 2022

Membrane separation technology was used to separate and purify the microwave-assisted oxalic acid extraction of soy hull polysaccharides (MOSP) in order to obtain samples of different molecular weights. The emulsification characteristics of the MOSP were investigated including protein adsorption, polysaccharide adsorption, interfacial tension, emulsion index, and particle size; optical microscopy and Phenom electron microscopy were used to elucidate the emulsion structures. In addition, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and high-performance gel-filtration chromatography (HPGFC) were used to study the differences in the components and structures of MOSP in different molecular weights. The molecular weight had several important effects on the emulsifying properties of MOSP. The adsorption capacities of the emulsion droplets containing low molecular weight MOSP (L-MOSP), middle molecular weight MOSP (M-MOSP), and high molecular weight MOSP (H-MOSP) were relatively low, and those of H-MOSP were slightly higher than those of L-MOSP. With extended storage time, the particle sizes of the emulsions rich in L-MOSP, M-MOSP, and H-MOSP increased. L-MOSP, M-MOSP, and H-MOSP were mainly composed of furans. The conformation of the molecular chain was spherical. The emulsions formed with H-MOSP were the most stable.

Developing a Model for Predicting Lung Cancer Using Variational Quantum-Classical Algorithm: A Survey
Authors: Adebayo Philip , Basaky Frederick , Osaghae Edgar
Published: October 2022

There are real life problems that currently proved hard for classical computers (even the best of supercomputers) to solve-the so called computationally intractable problems. Computers and computing devices are limited, by virtue of the fact that they cannot perform certain complex problems. For example, modern cryptography assumes that it is impossible to factorize a large number as the complexity of solving this problem increases exponentially. Even the best supercomputers of today cannot sufficiently find the prime factors of a number with 700-1,000 digits. With quantum computing, however, Shor’s algorithm proved that in principle, a quantum computer can be used to break the security of conventional cryptosystems. Quantum computing also promises exponential improvements for many optimization problems. Lov Grover algorithm was also designed to search for an element in unstructured database. Effort is currently on to leverage quantum computing and quantum mechanical phenomena to tackle complex machine learning problems. Using machine learning algorithm to solve problems is common place. What is however new is using quantum machine learning algorithm to solve problems such as detecting, classifying and predicting disease such as lung cancer. In this work, we highlight the limitations of classical computers to solve certain problems and then propose a hybrid model called the variational quantum-classical algorithm to predict the possibility of a patient developing lung cancer given a set of features which are spelt out in the dataset. The dataset is initially pre-processed, and made to pass through a Parameterized Quantum Circuit (PQC) and then post-processed. Finally, the output of the post-processing phase is used for prediction of lung cancer.
Regresión lineal multivariable versus regresión simbólica a partir de programación genética. Aplicación a la caracterización espectroscópica de aguas residuales urbanas
Authors: Carreres-Prieto Daniel , García Juan T. , Castillo Luis G. , Carrillo José M. , Vigueras-Rodriguez Antonio
Published: October 2022

Caracterizar en tiempo real las aguas residuales urbanas es clave para poder garantizar una correcta gestión de los recursos hídricos y la protección del medioambiente. A partir de mediciones indirectas, como la espectroscopía molecular que proporciona información sobre las propiedades físico-químicas del agua, es posible determinar la carga contaminante de las aguas residuales empleando modelos matemáticos de correlación. El presente trabajo compara la regresión lineal multivariable y los modelos de regresión simbólica basados en programación genética, para establecer una correlación con la carga contaminante de las aguas residuales. El estudio se ha centrado en la comparativa de modelos para la caracterización de nitrógeno total, fósforo total y nitrógeno en forma de nitrato, considerando 90 muestras de aguas residuales urbanas. Se observa que la regresión simbólica basada en programación genética proporciona una mejora en el ajuste (R2) de entre el 72.76% y 146.39% respecto a la regresión lineal multivariable.

Authors: Miño María Gabriela , Gómez Raimundo Elías , Jiménez García Alina
Published: October 2022

El presente artículo ofrece una discusión sobre los principales factores de riesgo de trabajo infantil asociados a las características sociales, económicas y culturales de los hogares en la provincia de Misiones, Argentina. El objetivo principal del estudio fue identificar de manera objetiva cuales son aquellas variables que deben ser estudiadas y consideradas para lograr políticas preventivas más eficaces. Mediante la utilización de revisión bibliográfica y trabajo de campo en el norte de la provincia, incluyendo entrevistas y observación participante, desarrollamos una delimitación inicial que incluye los condicionantes más importantes en las apuestas de los hogares por la educación y las trayectorias de vida desde la infancia. Señalamos que son las desigualdades sociales existentes en la conformación de distintos tipos de hogares los que repercuten en las oportunidades y las actividades que desarrollan los niños, niñas y adolescentes en su cotidianeidad. A modo de conclusión sugerimos que la construcción de políticas sociales adecuadas para la prevención del trabajo infantil requiere de un análisis multidimensional de los condicionantes, incluyendo una caracterización cualitativa de los esfuerzos de los hogares por asegurar determinadas trayectorias de vida para sus infantes.
Oral health-related quality of life and associated factors in adolescents
Authors: Vieira Calmon Marcela , Monteiro de Barros Miotto Maria Helena
Published: October 2022

This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the impact of oral health on the quality of life of 387 students aged 15 to 19 years. These students came from state public school of the state network located in urban and rural areas in a southeastern region of Brazil. Three structured scripts were applied and visual tactile clinical examination was performed. Quality of life associated with oral health was verified by Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). Logistic regression models were adjusted for each dimension. The frequency of impact was 26.4%. Living in the rural area was associated with a lower impact of oral health on quality of life. Caries and tooth loss were statistically significant. However, when logistic regression was performed, the greatest impact prediction of oral health on the lives of adolescents was associated with gender, halitosis and crowding.
La trampa del tiempo, en la epistemología proyectual contemporánea
Authors: Barrera Puigdollers Jose Manuel
Published: October 2022

El tiempo interesa a la arquitectura y el arte como una forma de construcción de la realidad, en tanto refiere a aquello que se puede pensar más que a la cosa en sí. Este contexto acercó la arquitectura a otras disciplinas para conocer sus fundamentos: la problematización del concepto clásico de verdad, la cultura de la diferencia y la revisión del concepto de tiempo. Una consecuencia fue la redefinición de la individuación a través de la alteridad; ya que mi constitución es a través del yo otro, antes que yo mismo, al que da lugar el afuera. Desde entonces la arquitectura participará como cultura artificial, empleando estrategias proyectuales que integran técnicas o sistemas como seudo prótesis donde, artefacto, accidente, invención e individuación coligaran. En su devenir los críticos detectan una anomalía; el transito de individuación a individualismo y la anteposición de deseos con objeto o pulsiones a las necesidades, alterando la estructura de la satisfacción(necesidades, demanda, deseo). En lo que sigue, trataremos de identificar en la epistemología proyectualcontemporánea el proceso que lleva a la anomalía; a través de sus croquis, o mapas configuradores, en relación con el tiempo. También comprobaremos si ello constituye la trampa del tiempo.
Estructura y espacio. La Sede de la Compañía Sevillana de Electricidad
Authors: Miró-Miró Cristobal , Mayoral-Campa Esther , Pozo-Bernal Melina
Published: October 2022

En el tercer cuarto del siglo XX se realizan en Sevilla algunos proyectos arquitectónicos notables, entre los que destaca el edificio para la Sede de la Compañía Sevillana de Electricidad. Proyectado por la oficina de proyectos OTAISA, esta obra supone un hito para la ciudad en diversos aspectos: la metodología de trabajo de OTAISA, al estilo de las grandes oficinas de proyectos americanas, así como la innovadora propuesta espacial, estructural y constructiva del edifico llevaron la contemporaneidad a la ciudad de Sevilla. El proyecto tendrá una clara influencia del arquitecto alemán Mies van der Rohe, lo que sitúa este edificio del patrimonio contemporáneo nacional en un lugar destacado, desarrollando y profundizando algunas de las cuestiones que el maestro postuló en torno a los edificios de oficinas. Un proyecto de contrastada calidad arquitectónica, pero muy desconocido por su situación periférica dentro del panorama nacional, que se acerca al medio siglo de edad manteniendo los valores arquitectónicos que lo situaron como un hito de la contemporaneidad en la ciudad.
Una casa de vanguardia para el Dr. López-Trigo (1934). Arquitecto, A. Gómez Davó
Authors: Gómez Gil Antonio Miguel
Published: October 2022

Cuando la arquitectura de vanguardia se construyó en España, fue desde una óptica casi exclusivamente formal y dejando de lado los considerandos industriales y sociales que eran una parte importante de su razón de ser en el resto de Europa. El artículo estudia uno de los edificios de las colonias que se pusieron de moda en nuestro territorio, durante los años veinte y treinta. Fueron estos nuevos núcleos de población los que propiciaron la aparición de nuevos tipos arquitectónicos, muy característicos del periodo español de preguerra civil. La casa para el doctor López-Trigo, actualmente demolida, es un buen ejemplo de estas nuevas tipologías arquitectónicas que pretendían dar idea de progreso y modernidad. Se contaba con la dificultad de que, al no tratarse de una obra de nueva planta, el arquitecto tenía que adaptarse a los elementos preexistentes. Por ello, no sólo transformó el edificio dándole un aspecto vanguardista, sino que aprovechó todos aquellos materiales que estaban en condiciones de ser reutilizados. El resultado fue un edificio cubista al que se le añadieron elementos curvos, remitiéndolo a la arquitectura maquinista y reforzando su idea de modernidad.
Barragán y su generación en Guadalajara: la casa, el patio y el jardín
Authors: Rueda Velázquez Claudia , De Rentería Cano Isabela
Published: October 2022

La investigación aborda el trabajo de un grupo de colegas ingenieros encabezado por Luis Barragán y seguido de Ignacio Díaz Morales, Rafael Urzúa y Pedro Castellanos que, entre la década de 1920 y 1930, plantearon una transformación de la casa aislada o chalet, en contraposición a las influencias extranjeras de la época en su ciudad. A partir de las Lecciones de la Escuela Libre de Ingenieros donde estudiaron y de la obra de Ferdinand Bac, redescubrieron los valores universales e imperecederos que unían la arquitectura vernácula mediterránea con la de su lugar de origen. Se ha utilizado el método por comparación para encontrar entre las obras y los autores sus comunes y distintas formulaciones. Con ello, se demuestra cómo a partir de espacios intermedios -patio, porche, logia- se funde la casa con el espacio exterior, el jardín adquiere mayor relevancia como extensión de la casa y finalmente, cómo la tradición conecta con la modernidad.
El proyecto arquitectónico como impulso del mobiliario estándar
Authors: Villanueva Fernández María , García-Diego Villarías Héctor
Published: October 2022

En la década de 1920 el arquitecto adquiere especial protagonismo en la escena del mueble. Ante la necesidad de equipar sus obras con mobiliario estándar, adecuado a la nueva arquitectura, encuentra en el diseño del interior un campo de desarrollo de su labor. Precisamente es en el desempeño de su trabajo como arquitectos donde surgen los nuevos tipos de muebles: piezas estándar que, paradójicamente, nacen de proyectos de arquitectura integral. Es entonces cuando los medios escritos del momento presentan un debate, sobre los límites del proyecto arquitectónico y el papel del arquitecto en el diseño del mueble. En este contexto, varios arquitectos españoles, como C. Arniches y M. Domínguez, L.M. Feduchi, L. Gutiérrez Soto o J.M. Aizpurúa y J. Labayen, aportan sus visiones desde el plano teórico, pero también a través de su obra construida, constituyéndose como ejemplos de este fenómeno que dio lugar a obras de arquitectura integrales y piezas estándar en un mismo proyecto. Mediante el análisis de los contenidos de las revistas españolas de arquitectura de la época, así como de otros escritos especializados, el artículo persigue arrojar luz sobre el papel del proyecto arquitectónico como impulso del desarrollo del mueble estándar moderno.
Sobre teorías urbanísticas, regeneración urbana y espacios abiertos. Exploraciones de PUPC
Authors: Monclús Javier , Bambó Raimundo , Díez Medina Carmen
Published: October 2022

Las investigaciones desarrolladas por el grupo PUPC (Paisajes Urbanos y Proyecto Contemporáneo - Urban Landscapes and Contemporary Project) ponen el foco en algunas relaciones entre los paisajes urbanos y diversos procesos que los configuran. Se trata de explorar sus conexiones con estrategias, planes y proyectos urbanos. El enfoque específico de la línea “Paisajes urbanos, proyecto urbano, patrimonio” parte de la necesidad de intensificar desde perspectivas transversales el cruce de miradas dirigidas hacia la ciudad y sus formas urbanas. Los trabajos del grupo parten de la convicción de que existe una continuidad natural entre la investigación y la docencia, concibiendo el trabajo del taller de urbanismo como parte esencial de su actividad. La transferencia de resultados a la ciudadanía y la administración constituye también un objetivo esencial del trabajo del grupo. Las investigaciones desarrolladas se han ido consolidando en tres grandes bloques con otras aproximaciones complementarias. En el primer bloque se enmarcan las reflexiones relacionadas tanto con teorías urbanísticas y arquitectónicas como con la historia de ambas disciplinas. En el segundo tienen cabida los trabajos que abordan cuestiones relativas a la regeneración urbana, especialmente aquellos que desarrollan exploraciones históricas, analíticas y proyectuales vinculadas con la vivienda. En el tercero se agrupan las investigaciones sobre los espacios abiertos, tanto en ámbitos urbanos como periurbanos.
Towns and Trade in the Age of Charlemagne
Authors: Hodges Richard
Published: October 2022

This is an illustrated study of towns and trade in the age of Charlemagne, in the Debates in Archaeology series, which analyses urban continuity and discontinuity in Europe during the Dark Ages. It examines the important continuing discussion of the rebirth of urbanism in Carolingian Europe. Drawing upon new archaeological evidence from southern and northern Europe, Richard Hodges looks at the end of towns in Roman antiquity, the phenomenon of the Dark Age emporium, and the hotly disputed mechanisms which led to the inception of market towns during the age of Charlemagne. He focusses particularly on recently excavated evidence from the Mediterranean, as well as from England.
The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on pro and advanced cycling athletes: A cross-sectional study in Poland
Authors: Rzymski Pawel , Rzymski Piotr , Burzynski Bartlomiej , Jurys Tomasz , Knapik Michalina , Rzymska Izabela
Published: October 2022

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected different communities, yet the data on its impact on cyclists, is scarce.

Material and methods

The present study assessed the training patterns of pro and advanced amateur cycling athletes in Poland (n=130) during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with the pre-pandemic season and in relation to their epidemiological situation and quality of life factors.

Results

The volume and weekly frequency of training was not decreased during the pandemic. However, their High-Intensity Interval Trainings (weekly 31.6 vs. 37.0 min, p=0.004) and maximum weekly Training Stress Score (660 vs. 715, p=0.001) decreased. Compared to uninfected cyclists, those who contracted the SARS-CoV-2 registered a higher score in the somatic, social and environmental domain of the WHO-QoL questionnaire (56.1 vs. 50.6, p=0.024; 74.1 vs. 63.6, p=0.032 and 72.5 vs. 65.9, p=0.018, respectively); no changes were observed in the psychologic domain Change in the weekly frequency of training, volume, time spent in >90% and 80-90% of HRmax (min) correlated positively only with the somatic domain of the WHO-QoL. The training pattern of cyclists who experienced death to COVID-19 among their relatives remained unaffected, but they presented a lower psychologic domain in the WHO-QoL (64.5 vs. 69.2, p=0.02).

Conclusions

Cycling pro and advanced amateurs maintained their volume and frequency of training but reduced its intensity during the pandemic compared to 2019. Changes were more likely to be affected by their physical status than by their psychogenic condition. The pandemic had a limited effect on the training pattern of cycling athletes.
Reality and Fiction in Broadside Ballads and Their Contemporary Reception : A Case Study
Authors: Poláková Jana
Published: October 2022

Jana Poláková’s paper presents a specific historical and locatable event—a
quadruple murder. She traces how it was reflected in a range of regional
sources, especially popular genres that have typically fallen outside
the historical domain, such as broadside ballads, chapbooks, and songs
recorded from the oral tradition. She compares this fictional depiction of
the murder with information from the trial and contemporary newspapers.
Broadside Ballads as a Printed Medium and the Rise of Literacy
Authors: Smyčková Kateřina
Published: October 2022

Kateřina Smyčková analyses broadside ballads in terms of their media
properties. According to Smyčková the formal features of broadside ballads
place them closer to oral communication than to written or printed
dissemination; the latter, printed characteristics of the genre made sung
Czech broadside ballads more suitable to “intensive” reading, by which she
designates the reading of a small number of texts. This kind of reception
is based on repetition, listening, memorizing, and internalizing of the
printed words. However, broadside ballads also played a key role in the
development of “extensive” reading, by which term Smyčková refers to
widespread and silent reading of a great number of texts by a broader but
more erudite audience.
Melodies of Czech Broadside Ballads in the Historical Contexts of Song Culture
Authors: Slavický Tomáš
Published: October 2022

Tomáš Slavický deals in his paper with the possible ways of searching
for the melodies to which Czech broadside ballads might be sung.
He begins by addressing the available musical sources of the time
(e.g., printed hymn books, manuscripts, and even oral tradition).
Importantly, he also addresses the problem of textual and melodic
variability. Turning first to extant documented tunes, Slavický declares
that the initial step of research into any original melody requires
searching out recorded evidence of notated sources of the period in
which the broadside ballad was composed. This research should be
based not only on extant period-specific printings, but also on tracks
of collective memory.
Czech Religious Broadside Ballads in Slovak Manuscript Hymnals of the Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries
Authors: Ruščin Peter
Published: October 2022

This chapter by Peter Ruščin is focused on the influence of Czech religious
broadside ballads on Slovak religious songs during the eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries. Ruščin shows that Czech broadside ballads
significantly affected the development of Slovak hymnography during
this period. This transfer between shared genres of different countries
was enabled by the similarities of the two languages, Slovak and Czech,
allowing the publication by printing houses of broadside ballads in both
languages. Such a transference can be especially seen in the nation’s
shared privileging of Marian pilgrimage sites and in the cult of some
saints, especially St. John of Nepomuk. Czech broadside ballads published
by Slovak printing houses were eventually adopted by other media, such
as manuscripts and printed hymn books, to the extent that some of the
broadside ballads became an established part of the official Catholic
hymnographic repertoire in Slovakia.

ballads as mass-marketed artefacts, which can be traced to the turn of
the nineteenth through the twentieth centuries.
The Flâneuse and the Aesthetics of the Female Gaze
Authors: Özgen Asli
Published: October 2022

In the nineteenth century, women did not enjoy the same freedom as
men to flâner in the city. By the turn of the century, however, the ethics
that prescribed women’s movement, visibility, and behaviour in public
spaces were strongly challenged as women were increasingly integrated
into the urban workforce. This sociological phenomenon transformed both
public space and the cinematic aesthetics that reflected that space. This
chapter analyses the feminist pedestrian acts in Lois Weber’s Shoes (1916),
a powerful representation of underpaid female labour and the insecure
economic and social conditions of working-class women. It contextualizes
Weber’s activist filmmaking as an aesthetic practice in a Rancièrian sense
through representation of precarious women’s pedestrianism in the city.
Walking amidst Ruins: A Pedestrian Cinema
Authors: Özgen Asli
Published: October 2022

This chapter explores the conceptions of the city and everyday life in the
writings of filmmakers from Fascist-era and post-Fascist Italy. Going out on
the street with a camera to observe everyday life in its uninterrupted flow
and to shoot without intervention was a recurrent urge voiced by many
filmmakers. Taking inspiration from Zavattini’s concept of pedinamento, I
analyse cinematographic images of pedestrian acts in three films—Roma,
Città Aperta (Rome, Open City), Germania Anno Zero (Germany, Year
Zero), and Ladri di Biciclette (The Bicycle Thieves)—which I have selected
for comparison in order to explore the transformation of the social and
political background, and its effect on the aesthetics of the city and the
cinematic image of walking.
Introduction: Cinematic Pedestrianism in the City
Authors: Özgen Asli
Published: October 2022

In this introductory chapter, the ambulant protagonist of Paris qui dort
(1923) provides a starting point to discuss the interrelationship between
cinema and city via the figure of the pedestrian. Following a brief analysis
of the film, this chapter formulates the concept of cinematic pedestrianism
based on three key notions. Henri Lefebvre’s contention that space is
ideologically and materially produced enables a critical reading of the
politics underlying urban and cinematic spaces. Michel de Certeau’s
‘pedestrian acts’ points to the political potentials of walking, while Jacques
Rancière’s theory of aesthetics illuminates how walking in the city and its
cinematic articulations can disrupt the dominant construction of space.
The chapter concludes by outlining the itinerary of the book.

Más allá de un tablero: patrimonio cultural y salón de clases
Authors: Acero Ramírez Claudia Pilar
Published: October 2022

El artículo presenta la metodología y los resultados de una propuesta investigativa para vincular el patrimonio cultural y la educación formal. La propuesta se estructura a partir de la investigación cultural de carácter situado en una Institución Educativa rural. La estructura teórica se fundamenta en la educación patrimonial, la construcción social del patrimonio, la investigación cultural y la enseñanza situada. La metodología se basa en la elaboración de proyectos de investigación cultural por parte de la comunidad educativa y los sabedores locales. Los temas de los proyectos se plantean por medio de pruebas piloto o actividades previas. Cada proyecto se desarrolla en cuatro etapas que son: taller de metodología de la investigación, diseño del proyecto, implementación del proyecto, análisis de la información y divulgación; además, es de carácter cualitativo y se basa en la investigación-acción participativa. La recolección de la información se realiza con entrevistas semiestructuradas, diarios de campo y observación participante. Se estudian dos proyectos de investigación cultural de carácter situado y se realiza una aproximación a la valoración cultural que se enfocan en el territorio local, las semillas criollas y las prácticas agrícolas tradicionales. El estudio revela el potencial de los proyectos de investigación con orientación cultural para vincular el patrimonio cultural con el salón de clases; fortalecer los procesos de transmisión intergeneracional en el aula de clases y, particularmente en el caso de este estudio, generar oportunidades para que los estudiantes puedan identificar y valorar su patrimonio cultural local y proponer estrategias de salvaguardia.

Published: October 2022

Para el desarrollo de la mayoría de los países la manufactura juega un rol vital, llegando en algunos casos a ser punta de lanza de las diferentes políticas económicas. La manera en que dicho sector se financia incide en la rentabilidad de este. Por tal razón, se formuló como objetivo, determinar la incidencia de la estructura financiera de las empresas manufactureras del Ecuador en el periodo comprendido entre el 2011 al 2021 mediante la aplicación de datos panel balanceado, recreando modelos de regresión lineal de efectos fijos al obtener información de 1822 empresas dentro del sector durante un periodo de diez años. A medida que pasan los años, se ha observado que el principal objetivo acerca de la trascendencia de la estructura de capital es el crecimiento de las empresas. Para incrementar valor de las acciones, toda empresa necesita activos tangibles como intangibles, para realizar sus actividades y cumplir con sus objetivos. La importancia de realizar un análisis a la estructura de capital en las empresas es de reducir y pronosticar modelos relevantes que influyan en la decisión de obtener una estructura de capital óptima, que permita dar un uso adecuado a los recursos obtenidos. Actualmente dejándonos llevar por el contexto de los mercados imperfectos, este tema sigue estando vigente y es uno de los temas más estudiados en el área de las finanzas corporativas.

Abstract. Volcanic activity is an important source of atmospheric sulfur dioxide (SO2), which, after conversion into sulfuric acid, induces impacts on rain acidity, human health, meteorology and the radiative balance of the atmosphere, among others. This work focuses on the conversion of SO2 into sulfates (SO4(p)2-, S(+VI)) in the mid-tropospheric volcanic plume emitted by the explosive eruption of Mount Etna (Italy) on 12 April 2012, using the CHIMERE chemistry transport model. As the volcanic plume location and composition depend on several often poorly constrained parameters, using a chemistry transport model allows us to study the sensitivity of SO2 oxidation to multiple aspects, such as volcanic water emissions, transition metal emissions, plume diffusion and plume altitude. Our results show that two pathways contribute to sulfate production in the mid-troposphere: (1) the oxidation of SO2 by OH in the gaseous phase (70 %) and (2) aqueous oxidation by O2 catalysed by Mn2+ and Fe3+ ions (25 %). Oxidation in the aqueous phase is the faster process, but liquid water is scarce in the mid-troposphere; therefore, the relative share of gaseous oxidation can be important. After 1 d in the mid-troposphere, about 0.5 % of the volcanic SO2 was converted to sulfates via the gaseous process. Because of the nonlinear dependency of the kinetics in the aqueous phase on the amount of volcanic water emitted and on the availability of transition metals in the aqueous phase, several experiments have been designed to determine the prominence of different parameters. Our simulations show that, during the short time that liquid water remains in the plume, around 0.4 % of sulfates manage to quickly enter the liquid phase. Sensitivity tests regarding the advection scheme have shown that this scheme must be chosen wisely, as dispersion will impact both of the oxidation pathways explained above.

Abstract. We report a new sampling strategy for collecting representative samples of
drill core. By splitting the core with a diamond saw into working and
archive halves, the saw cuttings constitute a “channel” sample, the best
subsample from which to obtain an average mineralogical and geochemical
composition of a core. We apply this procedure to sampling core of the lower oceanic crust in the Hess Deep obtained during Expedition 345 of the
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (now International Ocean Discovery
Program). Our results show that particles produced by sawing range from sand to clay
sizes. Sand- and silt-sized cuttings can be sampled with a spatula, whereas
clay-sized particles remained in suspension after 12 h and could be
collected only by settling, aided by centrifuge. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and Rietveld
refinement show that phyllosilicates were fractionated into the clay-sized
fraction. Thus, collection of both the sedimented fraction and the clay-sized suspended fraction (commonly > 15 wt % of the total) is
necessary to capture the whole sample. The strong positive correlation
between the recovered sample mass (in grams) and length of core cut demonstrates
that this sampling protocol was uniform and systematic, with almost 1.4 g
sediment produced per centimeter of core cut. We show that major-element
concentrations of our channel samples compare favorably with the
compositions of billet-sized samples analyzed aboard the JOIDES Resolution,
but the results show that individual billet analyses are rarely
representative of the whole core recovered. A final test of the validity of
our methods comes from the strong positive correlation between the loss on
ignition (LOI) values of our channel samples and the H2O contents
calculated from the modal mineralogy obtained by X-ray diffraction and
Rietveld refinement. This sampling procedure shows that grain-sized
fractionation modifies both mineralogical and chemical compositions;
nevertheless, this channel sampling method is a reliable method of obtaining
representative samples of bulk cores. With the ever-increasing precision
offered by modern analytical instrumentation, this sampling protocol allows
the accuracy of the analytical results to keep pace.
Robotic vision for knee arthroscopy
Authors:   , Ali Shahnewaz
Published: October 2022

This research focuses on visualisation challenges associated with anatomical imaging of complex joints such as the human knee. Current imaging systems are inadequate to provide 3D perception and lack the level of situational awareness needed for performing highly complex minimally invasive surgeries like knee arthroscopy. As a result, unintended tissue damage is common occurrence and training new surgeons takes a very long time. To improve surgical precision and training, this study presents a series of novel methods and computational tools that provide 3D perception for safer surgery with added ability of automatically recognition of multiple tissue types in real time.

Published: October 2022

The article aims to identify how adaptations of statistical graphs for Braille are carried out in textbooks from the final years of elementary school (it caters for students from the ages of 11 to 14 in Brazil). Based on documentary research, seven textbooks were analyzed to identify activities on statistical graphs. Approximately 28% of charts are excluded from books and 47% undergo some change to another type of representation, the most common being listing and table. These modifications are due to limitations of the Braille System. In the preserved graphs, errors were found that were mainly associated with problems in scale. The need to develop research aimed at graphic adaptations in the teaching of statistics to blind students is ratified. O artigo objetiva identificar como são realizadas adaptações de gráficos estatísticos para o Braille em livros didáticos dos anos finais do Ensino Fundamental (atende estudantes dos 11 aos 14 anos de idade no Brasil). Com base numa pesquisa documental foram analisados sete livros didáticos para identificar atividades sobre gráficos estatísticos. Aproximadamente 28% dos gráficos são excluídos dos livros e 47% sofrem alguma mudança para outro tipo de representação, sendo as mais comuns: listagem e tabela. Essas modificações são decorrentes de limitações do Sistema Braille. Nos gráficos preservados foram encontrados erros associados, sobretudo, a problemas na escala. Ratifica-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de pesquisas voltadas para adaptações de gráficos no ensino de Estatística para estudantes cegos.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 there was a pressing need to virtualize our subjects. This resulted in a considerable volume of tasks for teachers concentrated in a very short time and, consequently, required rethinking the way we work and organize. Many of these tasks, mainly those involving more time, are likely to be automated, for example, the development of review instruments, once worked out and assessed which topics, concepts, and competences are to be evaluated. This paper describes our experience in the use, adaptation and dissemination of tools for the automation of the generation of question banks in educational platforms of massive courses in the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the National University of Cordoba. Como consecuencia de la pandemia del COVID-19, en 2020 se presentó la apremiante necesidad de virtualizar nuestras asignaturas. Esto resultó en un considerable volumen de tareas para las docentes concentradas en muy poco tiempo y, consecuentemente, exigió repensar nuestra manera de trabajar y organizarnos. Muchas de estas tareas, principalmente las que implican más tiempo, son proclives a ser automatizadas, por ejemplo, el desarrollo de instrumentos de examen, una vez trabajados y valorados qué temas, conceptos y competencias se quieren evaluar. El presente trabajo describe nuestra experiencia en el uso, adaptación y difusión de herramientas para la automatización de la generación de bancos de preguntas en plataformas educativas de cursos masivos en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.
