A neural network-based Poisson solver for fluid simulation
Authors: Jiang Zichao , Wang Zhuolin , Yao Qinghe , Yang Gengchao , Zhang Yi , Jiang Junyang
Published: January 2023

The pressure Poisson equationis usually the most time-consuming problem in fluid simulation. To accelerate its solving process, we propose a deep neural network-based numerical method, termed Deep Residual Iteration Method (DRIM), in this paper. Firstly, the global equation is decomposed into multiple independent tridiagonal sub-equations, and DRIM is capable of solving all the sub-equations simultaneously. Moreover, we employed Residual Network and a correction iteration method to improve the precisionof the solution achieved by the neural network in DRIM. The numerical results, including the Poiseuille flow, the backwards-facing step flow, and driven cavity flow, have proven that the numerical precision of DRIM is comparable to that of classic solvers. In these numerical cases, the DRIM-based algorithm is about 2 to 10 times faster than the conventional method, which indicates that DRIM has promising applications in large-scale problems.
Predictive mapping of tree species assemblages in an African montane rainforest
Authors: Babaasa Dennis , Finn John T. , Schweik Charles M. , Fuller Todd K. , Sheil Douglas
Published: January 2023

Conservation planning of montane areas requires knowledge of vegetation composition and distribution patterns that is often lacking in rugged terrain. We mapped the “Afromontane” vegetation of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda, represented as tree species assemblages. Given the wide variation in elevation, topography and human impacts across Bwindi, we hypothesized that these key factors, either acting in isolation or in combination, would influence the tree species distribution patterns. To test this, detailed tree surveys were carried out using stratified random sampling. These data were evaluated against bioclimatic variables and elevation as potential predictive attributes using multivariate statistical techniques. Cluster analysis identified six tree species assemblages that were confirmed by MRPP, Mantel’s test, and Indicator Species Analysis to possess distinct compositions. Ordination analysis showed that elevation was the main factor explaining variation in tree species between forest sites but other factors including longitude, human disturbance, ridge-top, temperature, and precipitation were also significant. Random Forests modeling predicted and spatially mapped the tree species assemblages with elevation showing the highest predictive power. These results confirm our hypothesis that the combined effects of elevation, topography, climate, and human disturbance showed consistent and non-random relationships to tree species composition and distribution but the individual contributions could not be analytically separated. Nevertheless, we show that it is possible to predict the spatial pattern of species-rich but disturbed tree communities based on a limited sample across a complex landscape. Such methods and results offer accurate mapping of composition that will be of great value to managers and conservationists.
Migrate3D: Software for simplified post-tracking analysis of 3D and 2D cell migration data
Authors: Kinahan Matthew W. , Thali Markus , Symeonides Menelaos
Published: January 2023

Migrate3D is a cell migration analysis tool whose purpose is to computationally process positional cell tracking data generated via other image acquisition/analysis software, and generate biologically meaningful results. The functionalities of Migrate3D include step-based calculations of each cell track, single-cell-level summary statistics, mean squared displacement analysis, and machine learning-based evaluation of the entire dataset and subpopulations of cells found within it. The parameters calculated within Migrate3D have been previously developed and validated by other groups, and were selected to facilitate extraction of the maximum depth of information possible from input datasets. Variables are user-adjustable to enable customized analyses of diverse motility patterns and cell types, both in three- and two-dimensional timelapse data. Independent of any particular upstream image analysis or cell tracking software, Migrate3D only needs positional data over time to execute the suite of calculations. This presents a unique opportunity to standardize and streamline cell migration analysis.

Estimating bulk carriers’ main engine power and emissions
Authors:   Yildiz Technical University, Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, Besiktas, Istanbul, Turkey, Gunes Umit
Published: January 2023

Great importance is had in understanding the current situation of maritime transport and making predictions about its future. Maritime transport is an essential part of transportation, and correctly predicting installed main engine power has great significance in maritime transport with regard to fuel consumption and the generation of emissions. Nonlinear regression is a method with great potential in making predictions, as it allows for more realistic models to be developed using multiple variables. Vessels' dimensions of carrying capacity, gross tonnage, length, and breadth significantly impact the required main engine power. This article will calculate and estimate the installed main engine power for bulk carriers through nonlinear regression using data for the as yet highest number of bulk carriers (n = 9,174 ships) and compare the results with the studies in the literature. The developed model has an accuracy of 93.2% for six different bulk carrier types (Small, Handysize, Handymax, Panamax, Capesize, and Large Capesize). In addition, the study calculates the emissions these ships produce (NOx, SO2, CO2, HC, PM), estimating and demonstrating a nonlinear linear regression model for these ships' emission amounts. The performed analyses have found the main engine power required per unit of load to decrease as ship size increases. However, these analyses also show the emissions generated per unit of load to decrease as size increases, with Large Capesize vessels being found to have the lowest fuel consumption and emission generation per unit of load.

Published: January 2023

The object of research is the processes of occurrence, perception and redistribution of loads in the design of the car brake cylinder in operation.

To compensate for angular shifts of the brake cylinder rod at its maximum exit from the housing, improvement measures are proposed. This improvement consists in the use of a safety element to limit the angular movements of the rod when leaving the body.

The load of the brake cylinder rod during its angular displacements is determined. The condition for ensuring the strength of the rod is obtained.

The optimal parameters of the pipe of the safety element (limiter) of the brake cylinder rod were determined by its allowable moment of resistance. For the possibility of moving the levers interacting with the stem, special windows are provided in the limiter. It is proposed to fix the limiter to the cover by welding.

To determine the strength of the brake cylinder, a calculation was made using the finite element method. The results of a robust calculation showed that the maximum equivalent stresses occur in the brake cylinder cover and amount to 118.5 MPa. Therefore, the strength of the brake cylinder is ensured.

A feature of the obtained results is that the proposed improvement can be applied not only at the stage of designing a brake cylinder, but also at the stage of modernization.

The sphere of practical use of the obtained results is railway transport. The conditions for the practical use of the results are the absence of deformations of the brake cylinder rod.

The research carried out will help to improve the efficiency of rolling stock brakes, ensure traffic safety, increase rolling stock speeds, deliver goods, etc. Also, the conducted research will contribute to the creation of developments to improve the reliability of the rolling stock brakes

A Study on the Spirit of Tea and ‘Dabeop’ of Jucheon Soonhyang Kim
Authors:   Association for International Tea Culture, Kim Jong-hee
Published: January 2023

This paper researched the meaning of Haengda through Jucheon's tea culture activities and the tea spirit of her, who is actively continuing the tea tradition in Busan, the center of modern tea culture. Jucheon’s spirit of tea, which emphasized the sincerity of character in harmony, tried to find the true mind hidden deep in one's heart through doing Haengda so that one could learn and reflect on one's own accord. In addition, while drinking tea through Haengda, the miscellaneous delusions disappear and people find their true heart hidden deep in mind. The cultivation of the mind that concentrates all minds to eliminate miscellaneous thoughts, and is not led by other delusions, which is what we consider as ‘禪’(Zen) of our tea life. In other words, Jucheon's principle of the ‘Joosim Dabeop’ goes beyond the tea ceremony spirit and communicates with the compassionate mind that seeks the universal true entity. In addition, by actively participating in tea ceremony education at local universities and high schools, companies and organizations, as well as various tea culture events for the development of tea culture, Jucheon has came into the limelight as an important person in modern tea culture. She is taking the lead not only in tea culture activities but also in activating the national interest for the succession and development of Jogakbo as first traditional Jogakbo making successor in Korea, which has been somewhat neglected even in the traditional culture sector. As mentioned above, by examining the footsteps of Jucheon, who has been instrumental in transmitting Korean tradition so far, in the hopes of re-recognizing the value of our tea culture and spreading the excellence of traditional and Korean tea culture to the domestic and worldwide, it makes us think again about the role we have to go forward to transmit and develop of our traditional culture.

Authors: Rodrigues Samantha , Menezes Helvécio , Gomes Dawidson , Cardeal Zenilda
Published: January 2023

Metabolomics can provide a readout of the biochemical and physiological state of a biological system. Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been widely applied for metabolomic analysis due to its numerous advantages, such as good sensitivity, high resolution, reproducibility, extensive database, lower acquisition cost and greater coverage. In addition, combined with efficient methods of sampling and sample preparation, the metabolomic analysis of damaged skin based on GC-MS can provide an important step toward elucidating several skin diseases. Based on this, this review presents a comprehensive overview of sampling, sample preparation, data processing and GC-MS analysis of metabolomic studies of damaged skin. Also, part of the biological interpretation of metabolites such as cis- and trans-urocanic acid (UCA) altered in photoexposed skin and lauric acid (C12:0) and palmitic acid (C16:0) in melanoma is discussed. Finally, to improve decision-making, a part of the integration of skin metabolomics with other omics sciences for the advancement of diagnosis is presented.
WHY PHENOMENOLOGY COULD NOT COMMIT THE LINGUISTIC TURN?
Authors:   Reshetnev Siberian State University of Science & Technology, MEDOVA ANASTASIA ,   Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University named after V.P.Astafyev
Published: January 2023

Frege and Husserl are traditionally regarded as the precursors of the linguistic turn; however, the importance of their ideas for this event still is not fully comprehended. This article contributes to such comprehension: the principles of the linguistic turn in its analytical interpretation provided by Rorty are applied as an indicator revealing the commonality and difference of Frege’s and Husserl’s positions regarding key issues of their concepts. The connection of the philosophers’ ideas with the linguistic turn is viewed in the context of their interpretation of predicativity, propositionality, contextuality of meaning, and ways of categorization. The analysis conducted gives rise to distinguishing between Frege’s and Husserl’s referential schemes. It is based on the differences in the characteristics of the connection between perception and predication. In conclusion, the arguments against Frege’s and Husserl’s involvement in the linguistic turn are emphasized. These arguments stem from the idea of the primacy of sense over language fundamental for both philosophers who proceed from the fact that certain a priori logical relations underlie utterances or other acts. There is a more solid argument which does not allow considering Frege’s and Husserl’s legacies as its source. This argument consists in the fact that they regard sense as an objective, communicable, and universal phenomenon independent of its carriers, not inherently linguistic, and pre-logical which is due to its intentional nature according to Husserl and logical “indecomposability” of concepts according to Frege.
THE PHENOMENON OF MUSICAL IDENTIFICATION. A VIEW FROM HEIDEGGER’S EARLY PHENOMENOLOGY
Authors:   National Music Academy “Prof. Pancho Vladigerov”, Center for Music Philosophy and Humanities “Fundamenta musicae”, VASSILEV CHRISTIAN
Published: January 2023

The starting point of the following article are statements by various prominent musical performers of the 20th century who have testified to the life-experience of musical identification, i.e. the experience of unity and oneness with music. The purpose of the article is to explore the phenomenological implications of this experience on the basis of Martin Heidegger’s early phenomenological work. The article compares Heidegger’s early view of phenomenal givenness with that of Edmund Husserl. While Husserl sees phenomenal givenness as constituted by (transcendental) consciousness, Heidegger finds primary givenness in the resonance (Mitschwingen) between the I and its lifeworld. I argue that in Heidegger’s early phenomenology it is not the subject, but rather the relatio between I and world, which “constitutes” givenness. This viewpoint allows for the exploration of musical identification as a life-experience. Musical identification suspends the difference between subject and object. In musical identification, it is the relation between “I” and music, which is constitutive of both. Thus, music cannot be adequately grasped in phenomenological terms if it is regarded simply as an object, which is the premise of more traditional phenomenological approaches to music such as Roman Ingarden’s and Mikel Dufrenne’s. Ingarden and Dufrenne both position music at a distance from the subject, as something to be explored in its objective characteristics, without presupposing the constitutive relation between them. Contrary to them, Hans-Heinrich Eggebrecht, Günther Anders and Ilya Yonchev all recognize that the subject-object divide is insufficient for the exploration of musical experience. However, while Eggebrecht ultimately remains within the subject-object-dichotomy, Anders and Yonchev both develop the idea of musical Mitsein, or Being-with-music, which dispenses with the subject-object premise altogether and interprets musical life-experience as a mode of Being within which the sense of the I and musical sense coincide.
THE PROBLEMATICS OF REALITY IN CONTEMPORARY ANTI-REALIST PHILOSOPHICAL THEORIES (CRITICAL REVIEW)
Authors:   Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, SERKOVA VERA , LOBASTOVA VERA ,   St Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design
Published: January 2023

The article analyzes literature addressing the problem of reality in modern anti-realist theories. The purpose of the review is to expand the circle of researchers, including not only representatives of analytical philosophy, but also those of the phenomenological tradition, since the principle of phenomenological reduction corresponds to the general conceptual attitude of anti-realists, and in methodological terms, phenomenology more consistently implements the program of anti-realism. The principle of anti-realist philosophy is shown as exemplified in solutions of the “difficult problem of consciousness” within analytical philosophy and also in the development of a phenomenological attitude. Such a combination of two, by far the most respectable, philosophical schools makes it possible to more accurately determine the contribution of theorists of both directions to the theory of reality, to identify problematic nodes, internal disagreements and points of intersection of the ideas of phenomenologists and representatives of analytical philosophy in understanding the nature of reality. The works of modern researchers of the problems of reality R. Berghofer, V. Vasyukov, Ya. Ishihara, V. Ladov, L. Makeeva, R. Pils, A. Fursov, D. Chalmers and many others, as well as the works of E. Husserl, W. Quine, H. Putnam’s works, which have become philosophical classics, allow us to clarify the ideas about reality that have developed in the anti-realist discourse from different sides. New studies of the principle of phenomenological reduction by Yu. Himanka and the origins of the formation of phenomenological philosophy by N.V. Motroshilova make it possible to clarify the contribution of phenomenologists to the anti-realist tradition.

Published: January 2023

Starting from the mid-1890s, Manchuria came into the sphere of political interests of Imperial Russia in China. From 1896 to 1898, a number of Russian-Chinese agreements were made on mutual cooperation, the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, the Russian-Chinese Bank, the lease of Chinese territories, security, etc. Situated on the coast of the Liaohe River in South Manchuria, the city of Yingkou played an important role in this mutually beneficial process. Yingkou, a tractate port, was called the “Gate of Manchuria”, it has been known since 1861 as a center of junk trade and a center of commercial activity. The Russian presence increased here from 1896, and in 1899 a Russian imperial consulate was opened here. The city played a big role in economic and political cooperation during the construction of Port Arthur and Dalian. Starting from 1900, the order of the Russian Temporary Administration was introduced in Yingkou, which significantly strengthened Russia’s position in the region. Diplomats were appointed to the posts of mayors - Russian consuls in the port city: A. N. Ostroverkhov and V. F. Grosse. Among the many questions associated with solving diplomatic, commercial and organizational issues were issues of socio-cultural activities. The article describes details and analyzes the measures initiated and carried out in Yingkou, mainly at the expense of Russian funds, connected to the anti-epidemiological situation, the fight against plague, specific measures to improve the sanitary condition of the city; considers issues related to the improvement of urban infrastructure, security and social sphere; speaks about the opening of the Russian-Chinese school and its importance for the promotion of the Russian language in China. The article uses a large number of archival sources which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time.
Tonal Ezafe in Mombo
Authors:   Institute of Linguistics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Prokhorov Kirill N.
Published: January 2023

Tones are used in Mombo to distinguish between both lexical and grammatical meanings. As in other Dogon languages Mombo they play a crucial role in the NP, where syntactic relations are coded through the word order accompanied by tonal changes in nouns, adjectives, and numerals, occurring at the left edge of NP. The paper aims to describe the tonal marking of the lexical head and its dependents in Mombo as a manifestation of a grammatical category similar to construct state in Semitic or ezafe in Turkic and West Iranian. Ezafe in Mombo expresses the fact that the head has a dependent of a certain type: a possessor, an adjective, a demonstrative. According to the type of dependent one can identify possessive, attributive, and demonstrative ezafe. These are considered as individual grammemes of ezafe category. Ezafe is assigned locally, i. e. within the same constituent that contains its controller (the dependent) and applies to constituents rather than to words. The analysis of constructions with two dependents, one of which is the possessor to the left of the head noun and the other is an adjective, a numeral or a demonstrative suggests that the ezafe is assigned in a special position.
Features of the Language Game in Liu Zhenyun’s Prose on the Example of the Novel “I am not Pan Jinlian”
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Ignatenko Alexander V.
Published: January 2023

The paper discusses stylistic techniques and means of creating a language game on the example of the novel “I am not Pan Jinlian” (2012) by Liu Zhenyun. The emphasis is on the search for new orderings in the language game within the framework of the artistic universe. Studies of Liu Zhenyun’s artistic discourse today are included in various linguistic, literaryand cultural landscapes, but they are fragmentary in nature and are presented, as a rule, on local material. The language, artistic features and idiosyncrasy of the writer can be considered practically unexplored, which determines the relevance of this study. The linguistic features of the language game in the works of Liu Zhenyun are consistently considered at three levels in this study. Metaphors, oxymorons, irony, etc. are analyzed at the level of the use of artistic means and techniques. At the structural and functional level, attention is focused on the formal structure and organization of the artistic fabric of the text, some stylistic and syntactic aspects of the language game, parallel constructions and techniques (zeugma, chiasm, anacoluf, parallelisms, ekphrasis, etc.) are analyzed. At the cognitive-discursive level, attention is paid primarily to the problem of the organization of the conceptual-semantic space of the text and the disclosure of its laws, as well as its integration and synthesis with non-linguistic sciences - philology, psychology, cultural studies, etc. The mixed methods used in the article allowed us to obtain results that are productive from the point of view of the possibilities of structural- functional and discursive analysis of artistic material. The obtained data and conclusions open up wide opportunities for further analysis of the language game in artistic discourse.
Severus of Antioch’s idea of transforming the theological language from Triadology to Christology and its critique in Leontius of Byzantium’s treatise “Refutation of syllogisms of Severus”. Part one
Authors:   Sociological Institute, Federal Center of Theoretical and Applied Sociology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nogovitsin Oleg N.
Published: January 2023

The present text is the first part of the study which examines the idea of Severus of Antioch on transforming the language of theology on the way from Triadology to Christology and the critique given to it in Leontius of Byzantium’s treatise “Refutation of syllogisms of Severus”. As per Severus, the Incarnation of God the Word requires modification also in the theological language of description and confession of this pivotal dogma for Christianity as compared with the language manifested in speculations of Cappadocian Fathers concerning the description by human wording and confession of the dogma of consubstantiality of the hypostases of the Trinity. The project of modification of the conceptual content of theological language constitutes a fundamental aspect of the entire concept system of Severus’ theology, with, however, only two texts extant where this project is represented as a specific idea of reform of the theological language initiated by a mystical act of transformation of the nature of things in the event of the Incarnation. The texts meant are the preserved fragment of the third Severus’ letter to hegumen John and Chapter III of Leontius of Byzantium’s treatise “Refutation of syllogisms of Severus”, where this idea of Severus is formulated by a Severian opponent of Leontius and the latter, in the course of the dialog, gives an extensive critical response to it. In the first part of the study, the context of these texts is considered from the viewpoint of the theological and historical context of stage change in the Monophysite polemics.

Authors: Abdullah Marzoog Basheer , Vladimirovich Kostin Sergey
Published: January 2023

Background:

Hernia is a common pathology in the globe and reported more frequently, particularly, inguinal hernia.

Aims:

To identify the surgery of choice for the treatment of hernias by evaluating the required postoperative hospitalization time, as no other complications have been reported according to data from Mordovian Republic hospital.

Material and Methods:

A retrospective cohort study involved 790 patients for the period 2017-2022 treated surgically for various types of hernia; inguinal hernia,
umbilical hernia, spontaneously reduced strangulated post-operative ventral hernia, incarcerated post-operative ventral hernia, and hernia of the
Lina Alba. The T-test was used for statistical analysis, and a one-way ANOVA test and Pearson correlation test were conducted using the Statistica
program.

Results:

The hospitalization period after Liechtenstein surgery is statistically less than Postemsky surgery (mean 6.88 days, 7.43 days, respectively, t value -2.29593, p<0.02) and laparoscopic surgery (mean 6.88 days, 8.19072 days, respectively, t value 4,206817, p<0,000031). At the same time, laparoscopic surgery has a shorter post-operative hospitalization than Postemsky surgery (t value -2.19326, p<0.02). According to the surgical approach, the patient’s post-operative hospitalization days differ (mean days: min. days; max. days, 7.50192: 0.00; 30.00). According to Postemsky (M ± m; 7.43262, ±0.167012), according to Martynov (M ± m; 8.37500, ±0.113440), according to Liechtenstein (M ± m; 6.88153, ±0.146845), according to Mayo (M ± m; 7.51282, ±0.280156), according to Bassini (M ± m; 8.77778, ± 2.379179), laparoscopically (M ± m; 8.19072, ± 0.268434), according to Sapezhko (M ± m; 8.25000, ± 1.380074), and another type of surgery (M ± m; 11.40000, ± 2.501999). Women (mean 8.525114 days) were hospitalized longer than men (mean 7.065371 days), t value 5.871044, p< 0.001. A statistically significant correlation has been found between age and postoperative hospitalization time (Pearson Rank Order Correlations r=0.215561, p <0.05).

Conclusion:

The study shows that the Lichtenstein surgery is the surgery of choice in terms of hospitalization time after the surgery. Straight association between sex and age with postoperative hospitalization days.

Authors: Hasanzadeh Azadeh , Beiromvand Molouk , Rafiei Abdollah , Kazemi Mohammad , Bahreini Amin , Khanahmad Hossein
Published: January 2023

Background:

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by
the Echinococcus granulosus senso lato (E. granulosus s.l.) larval stages. Parasitederived
products have been shown to regulate host matrix metalloproteinases
(MMPs), contributing to CE pathogenesis and progressive liver fibrosis in intermediate
hosts. The current study aimed to investigate the potential role of MMP1, 7, 8, and 13
in E. granulosus s.l-induced liver fibrosis.

Methods:

Thirty CE patients with active, transitional, or inactive hydatid cysts were
enrolled in this study to determine the inductive effects of E. granulosus on the expression
of MMP-1, MMP-7, MMP-8, and MMP-13 in healthy liver tissue and fibrotic
liver tissue using qRT-PCR.

Results:

According to the WHO-IWGE classification, patients with functional cysts
(CE1 and CE2) had the highest percentage (46.6%). MMP-1, MMP-7, MMP-8, and
MMP-13 expression levels were significantly higher in fibrotic liver than in normal liver
tissue. MMP-13 and MMP-1 had the highest and lowest expression levels among
MMPs. Compared to the normal group, the fold change for MMP-13 in the fibrotic
group was greater than 12 and had the highest AUC value (AUC= 0.8283).

Conclusions:

Our findings suggest that E. granulosus-derived products might be involved
in regulating host MMPs. Thus, MMPs may be considered potential biomarkers for
predicting CE prognosis. Because of the non-normal distribution of our patients’ CE
types, further research, particularly on circulation MMPs, is needed to confirm the potential
role of MMPs in CE pathogenesis and to follow up on CE patients.

A sedentary lifestyle has evoked a high risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, diabetes, and obesity, all of them with high morbimortality rates and with a common denominator, hypertension. Numerous pharmacological drugs have been used for the treatment of hypertension. However, the side effects associated with the use of existing pharmacological therapies have triggered a demand for plant-based medications. In this connection, the aim of this review was to provide an in-depth analysis of the use of plant-derived bioactives for the effective management of hypertension. Phyto-constituents from leaves, bark, stem, roots, seeds, and fruits of medicinal plants grown in our differ-ent regions of the globe have been highly searched. Among them, polyphenols (e.g., flavonoids as quercetin, anthocyanins as cyanidin, tannins as ellagic acid, stilbenes as resveratrol, lignans as honokiol and others as hydroxytyrosol or curcumin), organosulfur compounds (e.g. s-allyl cysteine and allicin), fatty acids (e.g. α-lipoic acid, DHA and oleic acid), alkaloids (e.g. berberine or tetran-drine) and some terpenes have been intensively investigated for the management of hypertension, with effective ability being stated in controlling high blood pressure and related health problems both in vivo and in vitro studies. Some of the activities presented by these bioactive compounds are reducing oxidative stress, renin-angiotensin system control, SIRT1 activation, regulating platelet aggregation and COX activity, anti-atherogenic effects, anti-inflammatory properties, vasorelaxa-tion and other results that translate into the prevention or control of hypertension. The knowledge of these bioactive compounds is important in developing countries where traditional medicine is the majority, but it can also give rise to new approaches in hypertension therapy.
O Vintismo, as Cortes de Lisboa e a Independência do Brasil

Published: January 2023

This article aims to analyze the context and the bases that relate the parliamentary activity of the ConstituentCortes (Lisbon, 1821-1822) and the political independence of Brazil (1822). We seek,in this work,not only to focus on the clashes between representatives of both sides of the Luso-Brazilian Empire, but also to reflect on the contextual foundations that composed the sociopolitical framework of the early 1820s. In this way, we understand that the events of the listedperiod–that is, the Liberal Revolution of 1820 in Porto, the return of D. João VI to Portugal, the Lisbon Constituent Cortes,and the Brazil’s independence –are the result of a process of socio-political experiences
Liberalismo e Romantismo no Brasil: discursos e práticas na construção do império brasileiro (1808-1850)

Initially understood as a literary category, Romanticism also became a political category, influencing the men who would make Brazil in the 19th century. Occasional poetsdevoted a good part of their writingto building a new sensibility for a new nation that was wanted in the tropics. Toanalyzethissituation, we used the evidentiary method, searching in those bad poems and poets, which were registered in the periodicals from 1808 to 1850, desires for a new homeland and bearers of a thought and an attitude that we can consider pre-romantic
Pensando en la inclusión: diseñando un catálogo de aplicaciones para personas con discapacidad visual
Authors: Larco Ampudia Andrés , Muñoz Richard
Published: January 2023

Con el uso de las TIC en la educación, varias instituciones han desarrollado su interés en utilizar el Internet para mejorar sus servicios. Sin embargo, varios de estos servicios se ofrecen como aplicaciones las cuales, la mayor parte del tiempo, resultan difíciles de encontrar y descargarlas, no se encuentran correctamente indexadas y categorizadas; más aún, en el Ecuador no existen catálogos que ofrezcan estas aplicaciones. El objetivo de este proyecto es desarrollar un catálogo digital de software para personas con discapacidad visual que sea accesible, amigable con el usuario, y permita acercar todas estas aplicaciones a los usuarios. Se realizó una investigación preliminar para identificar tanto aplicaciones web y móviles, así como catálogos que estén relacionados con la discapacidad visual. Se analizaron tanto catálogos web como móvil para determinar las características y necesidades con las que debía cumplir el catálogo digital de software. Posteriormente, se evaluaron las aplicaciones web y móvil utilizando MARS. Durante el desarrollo de cada prototipo se utilizaron los cinco planos de UX. Para lograr obtener una aplicación totalmente funcional, el “Instituto Mariana de Jesús” colaboró durante el desarrollo de la aplicación brindando comentarios y retroalimentación sumamente importante, así como, ayudar a evaluar cada uno de los prototipos. El catálogo digital de software cumple con las necesidades de las personas con discapacidad visual y apoya su desarrollo tanto educativo como de su día a día.

La emisión de gases vehiculares y de material particulado en el aire de las ciudades afectan la calidad del aire y la salud de las personas, situación ligada a las actividades antropogénicas como el transporte vehicular, la actividad industrial y el microclima de cada ciudad. En tal sentido, se determinó la cantidad de gases de combustión y el material particulado producido por automóviles que llegan a dos parqueaderos del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito (DMQ). La recolección de muestras fue realizada empleando un analizador de gases móvil T. El estudio se realizó durante 21 días del año 2017 en dos parqueaderos de automóviles ubicados en el mercado Comité del Pueblo (Sector Centro) y en el mercado San Francisco (Sector Norte) de la ciudad de Quito (Total= 42 días).  Los resultados indican que el sector centro presentó valores elevados de los gases SO2, NOx y O3, mientras que en el sector norte se observaron valores altos en NO2, CO2, O3 y CO. Las concentraciones de Ozono (O3), resultaron elevadas en el Sector Centro (112,07 µg/m3), muy cerca del límite máximo permisible establecido, así como las de NOx también se encuentra cerca del límite máximo permisible por la OMS (400 µg/m3). Los datos revelan que a pesar de tener valores significativos de concentración bastante cercanos entre los dos sectores para ciertos gases como el NOx y NO2, también existen grandes diferencias entre los valores obtenidos para O3, CO y NO2. Con relación al material particulado, los valores en ambos sitios fueron similares, observando valores elevados para PM2,5.
