Jean-Luc Godard y Antonin Artaud. Perspectivas críticas sobre la imagen
Authors: Navarro Fuentes Carlos Alberto
Published: September 2022

El objetivo del ensayo es ofrecer una perspectiva sociohistórica y humanística del contexto que ve nacer a la Nouvelle Vague, donde emerge Jean-Luc Godard. En la primera parte, se ahonda en el pensamiento del autor sobre la ontología de la imagen como base del lenguaje cinematográfico e innovaciones técnicas que le acompañan, tomando distancia del lenguaje literario y las implicaciones que conlleva. En la segunda parte, se presenta la crítica que Antonin Artaud emprende sobre el funcionamiento de la escena, tomando distancia y autonomía del lenguaje literario y la tiranía que el texto imprime sobre el lenguaje del cuerpo actoral como fundamentos de la tradición teatral occidental. Se enuncian aspectos críticos que Artaud encuentra en el cine y en el teatro, revisando textos escritos por ambos autores, donde critican el régimen de representación, los usos mercantiles y de entretenimiento en los que están imbuidos. Finalmente, el ensayo muestra que la crítica afín de ambos autores pervive en sus respectivas esferas y que posee un talante ético y proactivo, no solo estético para horadar el régimen de sensibilidad y representación, asumiendo la imagen como pilar cognoscitivo y pedagógico para aprehender, comprender —y actuar en— la realidad. 
La sociedad como sistema y autogestión en José Revueltas
Authors: Rodríguez Solís Arístides
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo compara el pensamiento filosófico de José Revueltas con las teorías sistémicas y complejas de la sociedad, en especial ante la obra sociológica de Niklas Luhmann. Se proponen las nociones fundamentales que en el trabajo de Revueltas sugieren una concepción teórica de la sociedad, así como los aspectos que la hacen particular, como su relación con los eventos de la protesta estudiantil de México en 1968, y conceptos filosóficos como movimiento y autogestión. Plantea las nociones que se cruzan de manera clara con el pensamiento de Luhmann para apoyar la idea de una teorización sistémica de la sociedad en Revueltas. Finalmente se aborda la relación entre autogestión, autopoiésis y auto organización para señalar la importancia del pensamiento social de Revueltas de cara a nuestra comprensión y participación como sujetos ante la sociedad. 
La epidemia de obesidad en México: apuntes para su estudio desde la historia social y el pensamiento genealógico
Authors: Cruz Santacruz Rebeca
Published: September 2022

El estudio de la epidemia de obesidad en México requiere abordajes que den cuenta del entrelazamiento de múltiples dimensiones y elementos que están en juego para su emergencia y reproducción. Este trabajo recupera la perspectiva de la Historia social de la comida, de Patricia Aguirre y propone una periodización que incluye tres transiciones de las cuales este artículo se enfoca únicamente en presentar, a manera de ejemplo, un esbozo de la Primera transición (1900-1940). Además, con la noción de genealogía, concebida como historia del presente, se abordan de manera muy general los procesos que a la larga favorecieron la aparición de la epidemia, en los cuales se entrelazan elementos económicos, demográficos, de urbanización, político-ideológicos y de políticas de salud y alimentarias, cuyas interrelaciones moldearon, en conjunto, las formas culturales de la época — sobre todo las alimentarias—, que a su vez incidieron retroactivamente en la consolidación y expansión de dichos procesos. Se concluye que la Primera transición tuvo como eje estructural y articulador la transformación política que trajo consigo la Revolución Mexicana, cuya base ideológica fue el pensamiento eugenésico y de higiene social que permeó la época, los cuales produjeron cambios determinantes en la demografía, los procesos de urbanización, las políticas educativas, de salud y alimentarias que, en conjunto y de manera retroactiva, consolidaron el modelo capitalista. Se muestran algunos resultados de las interrelaciones entre las dimensiones política, económica e ideológico-cultural y de los cambios en los imaginarios sociales que a su vez modificaron las aspiraciones, conductas y formas de consumo de una parte de la población urbana que se afanó en alcanzar el ideal civilizatorio impulsado por los gobiernos posrrevolucionarios, mediante la negación del pasado indígena y campesino, y la imitación de la forma de vida de las clases altas y los modelos extranjeros que ellas asumieron. También se incluyen algunos ejemplos de cómo inició la modificación de la vida cotidiana de los mexicanos con la incipiente incorporación de alimentos industrializados en su dieta; el contexto general en que aparecieron las primeras industrias de alimentos, el papel de la medicina y la educación en la configuración de prácticas alimentarias, el de la radio en la de las prácticas de sueño y el de los transportes en las formas de movilidad de las personas. 
Transformaciones hidrosociales en Picaihua, Tungurahua (Ecuador): un análisis multiescalar desde la ecología política del agua
Authors: Lascano-Demera Luis
Published: September 2022

El presente artículo propone un análisis desde la ecología política del agua sobre el manejo del recurso hídrico en la parroquia de Picaihua, provincia de Tungurahua (Ecuador) en los años 80-90, y los cambios producidos a partir del 2008. En este enfoque las transformaciones son explicadas en términos de territorio hidrosocial y de redes hidrosociales, esto último incorpora factores estructurales concretos e históricos a nivel de país y de sistema-mundo. Se consideran dos etapas: la etapa neoliberal y la etapa posneoliberal en el Ecuador, ambas con distintos proyectos políticos hidrosociales. El objetivo de este estudio es responder si la praxis política en la etapa posneoliberal implicó avances en términos de justicia hidrosocial en Picaihua. En la etapa neoliberal, el territorito hidrosocial de Picaihua tenía como actor principal una Junta de Agua que propiciaba una gestión comunitaria y participativa, pero operaba con debilidad económica en una red hidrosocial que potenciaba la distribución desigual y privatizadora del recurso hídrico. En la etapa posneoliberal, el nuevo rol del Estado irrumpe en la red hidrosocial con inversión pública para atender las necesidades hídricas, lo cual fue visto como positivo por la Junta de Agua. Sin embargo, la verticalidad en la planificación hidrosocial impidió potenciar la gestión participativa-comunitaria del agua. 
¿Cómo pensar el arte público? A 100 años del muralismo mexicano
Authors: Herner Reiss Irene
Published: September 2022

Este ensayo que consta de cinco apartados, prácticamente independientes uno del otro, pero íntimamente vinculados, son resultado de mis investigaciones sobre el arte público, y los he unido a propósito de los 100 años del nacimiento del muralismo. Expresan mi manera de pensar desde la sociología del arte y la comunicación artística, del concepto y la experiencia del arte público en México. Conforman una síntesis y un seguimiento de una vieja pasión intelectual que me ha forjado. Es un arte de gran calado. Un legado que merece ser estudiado a profundidad desde la perspectiva actual, y difundido como lo más refinado de la comunicación cultural nacional, de valor universal. A través de las propuestas artísticas de distintos pintores, trabajé el lugar del artista-comunicador como participante activo, profesional comprometido con el devenir social; y al arte público como un constructor de identidades plurales que constituyen nuestro patrimonio ciudadano. La herencia del muralismo en el siglo xxi, no sólo se haya en la producción de murales Se actualiza en tanto se comunica de formas distintas en las tecnologías de la comunicación masiva y las redes sociales.
Ciudadanía y movilidad humana: los derechos de las personas más allá de la pertenencia al Estado nación
Authors: Pérez Soria Judith , Cadena Inostroza Cecilia
Published: September 2022

En este artículo se analizan los modelos clásicos de ciudadanía y las propuestas recientes que discuten la inclusión de algunos grupos sociales minoritarios, para mostrar la contradicción permanente entre la ciudadanía acotada a una nación y la movilidad humana. Asimismo, se presentan algunos de los avances recientes en materia de derechos humanos para migrantes internacionales y refugiados y en materia de derechos políticos para residentes. Finalmente, el análisis señala la necesidad de diseñar e implementar modelos más incluyentes que garanticen los derechos plenos de las personas que, por diferentes causas y motivos, viven en un lugar diferente al de nacimiento. Estas propuestas cuestionan necesariamente los cimientos del Estado nación.
Diversity in School Trajectories of Immigrant Students
Authors: Rodríguez-Izquierdo Rosa M.
Published: September 2022

Este artículo se propone analizar las trayectorias escolares de los estudiantes inmigrantes y determinar en qué medida algunas variables sociodemográficas (género, procedencia, tiempo de estancia, lengua materna) inciden en dichas trayectorias. A partir de un estudio en el que participaron 172 estudiantes (52.3 % mujeres, 47.6 % varones) con edades comprendidas entre 6 y 16 años (M = 12.6; DT = .79) se efectuaron análisis sobre cuatro aspectos: 1) movilidad de centros por la que transitaron estos estudiantes, 2) tasa de idoneidad o el curso en el que han estado escolarizados y su relación con la edad cronológica, 3) tasa de repetición de curso y 4) tasa de graduación o el curso superior que alcanzan en su escolarización. Los resultados indican la diversidad de trayectorias escolares y que estas se ven relacionadas con variables como el género y la lengua materna. Finalmente, se discuten algunas implicaciones prácticas para la mejora de la escolarización exitosa del alumnado inmigrante.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: External streams in annuli are critical in regulating pressure loss, air stream distribution around the combustor liner, and the resulting impacts on performance, durability, and stability of the gas turbine combustion system. This article provides a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the stream within a canister combustor's outer annulus. Validation of this simulation was accomplished by analysis of the stream within a canister combustor annulus utilized in a Afam/Nigeria gas turbine power plant facility. In 10 sites across the annular area, pitot static tubes were utilized to measure the velocity. By comparing the velocity profile, it was discovered that the CFD simulation and experimental work had a high degree of agreement.
Numerical Modelling and Design Experiment of a Model Gas Turbine Petro with Combination of Natural Gas, Hydrogen
Authors: Johnson Nnadikwe
Published: September 2022

Abstract: In this study, we are constructing an analytical model to evaluate the energy performance of a Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) utilizing H2 NG mixes as fuel. During the experimental campaign, the model findings were verified in the real working conditions of the Micro Gas Turbine. It was during the spring and summer of this year that a model validation experiment was carried out. Fueled by H2 NG, MGT performance has been shown to increase from zero to 10 percent hydrogen content, with a 2 percent volume step. Fuel usage has been considerably decreased, according to the data. Heat recovery and electrical reliability increase marginally even if environmental conditions have an influence on the system. A MATLAB-Simulink numerical model was built to depict the MGT's operation. As a consequence, the relative standard errors of the major output parameters have been determined.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: The electric vehicle market in India appears to be gaining traction. The automobile industry is shifting to EV manufacturing, as the fuel is expensive and there is global pressure to reduce carbon footprint. There is necessity to improve the current technology and performance of electric vehicles. The continuous monitoring of EV battery for customer safety against accident due to battery failure is vital. There is a need to improve battery analysis and monitoring to improve EV performance. The cloud based BMS system for EV data analysis using IoT is an ongoing monitoring system for battery performance analysis. Along with this the system provides performance analysis of each EV battery, supplied by battery manufacture. The EV manufacturing is at its early stage, in comparison with fossil fuel vehicles. This maturity in fossil fuel engine has come long way by experimentation, experience, and revolutionary inventions as well stringent norms of government authorities like Euro/Bharat stage 6 etc. The consistent improvement in battery technology is a way ahead for successful deployment of EV. Therefore, continuous monitoring of battery performance parameter is essential which should help battery manufacture to estimate accurately the battery model, state of charge, state of health etc. It will also help to correctly predict possibility of accidents due to improper charging and discharging of battery and estimate of EV.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: During this period of COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of medical equipment (like ventilators) leads to complications arising in the medical field. A low-cost ventilator seems to be an alternative substitute to fill the lacking. This paper presents a numerical analysis for predicting the delivered parameters of a low-cost mechanical ventilator. Based on several manufactured mechanical ventilators, two proposed designs are investigated in this study. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) analysis is used for solving any problems with the first design, and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis with moving boundary is used for solving any issues with the second design. For this purpose, ANSYS Workbench platform is used to solve the set of equations. The results showed that the Ambu-bag-based mechanical ventilator exhibited difficulties in controlling ventilation variables, which certainly will cause serious health problems such as barotrauma. The mechanical ventilator based on piston-cylinder is more satisfactory with regards to delivered parameters to the patient. The ways to obtain pressure control mode (PCM) and volume control mode (VCM) are identified. Finally, the ventilator output is highly affected by inlet flow, length of the cylinder, and piston diameter.
Analytical Modelling of T-Shaped Monolithic & Independent RCC Buildings
Authors: Khandelwal Inder , Gupta Dr. A. R.
Published: September 2022

Abstract: During an earthquake the behaviour of the building depends on its overall shape, size & geometry. Now a day’s many buildings are asymmetric in plan and elevation because everyone wants to win the race of aesthetically beautiful and complex structures. Due to irregular distribution of mass, stiffness and strength, it may cause serious damage in structural system. There are various types of irregularities in the buildings depending upon their location and scope. Mainly two types of irregularities as per IS – 1893 (Part-1)-2002. are a) plan or horizontal irregularities b) vertical irregularities. Irregularity in structure makes analysis of the seismic behaviour very complicated. The objective of present study is to analyze and compare the behaviour of T shape monolithic and independent RCC structure under seismic loading. The comparison of both structures is studied by calculating, finding and tabulating comparative values of displacement, base moments and shear values. The study reflects that with change in structure i.e. the behaviour of structure towards earthquake changes, nodal displacement, moment, and base shear values shows drastic changes towards resistivity against seismic forces. The soft computing tool and commercial software STAAD-Pro is used for modelling and analysis also the study done over here thus helps to understand effect of earthquake on both structures for achieving stable and safe structure
Analysis of Rectangular Water Tank Resting on Ground by Using Finite Difference Method
Authors: Naghate Shital , Gupta Dr. A. R.
Published: September 2022

Abstract: Water tanks are used to store water and are designed as crack free structures, to eliminate any leakage. In this research, analysis of rectangular water tank resting over ground is done by using Finite Difference Method (FDM). The finite difference method is probably the most transparent and the most general It is considered to be subjected to an arbitrary transverse uniformly distributed loading and is considered to be clamped at the two opposite edges and free at the other two edges. The ordinary Finite Difference Method (FDM) is used to solve the governing differential equation of the plate deflection. The proposed methods can be easily programmed to readily apply on a plate problem.
Analysis of Rectangular Water Tank Using Fem Method

Published: September 2022

Abstract: All know that water is the most vital requirement of human beings for better livelihood. As the population is growing day by day in our country with rapid speed it is the need of time to study storage capacity and shapes of storage tanks. These tanks are very useful in such areas where rivers do not flow for the whole year and water available only during monsoon season through rainfall. Present study deals with the analysis of water tanks using the FEM method using Staad pro software. The finite-element method is a computational method that subdivides a CAD model into very small but finite-sized elements of geometrically simple shapes. The collection of all these simple shapes constitutes the so-called finite-element mesh.

Published: September 2022

Abstract: Designing Tire fibres and polyethylene were chopped into pieces of 30 mm by 6 mm and used in quantities of 1.5% each. M30, M35, and M40 concrete grades were employed. IRC 44:2008 has been implemented for concrete mix design. The results of the Strength properties of polyethylene fiber-bolstered concrete were provided in this observation. For determining flexure and shear electricity, 4 point bending tests and double shear tests were carried out in the lab. The 28-day compressive power increased by 18%, while the flexure and shear powers increased by 39% and 32%, respectively. The investigations revealed that deflection was 22% lower in a 4 point bending test and 36% lower in a double shear test. With the aid of electricity techniques, theoretic evaluation of deflection was carried out. The theoretical and practical values remained within the acceptable bounds. Finally, it can be said that reinforced cement concrete can be successfully reinforced with tyre and polyethylene.

Los niveles de calcio (Ca) disminuyen en sangre y citosol al momento del parto, alterando la transmisión del impulso nervioso, la contracción muscular y la actividad de las células inmunes. En el sistema nervioso el Ca participa en la conducción de estímulos. En el sistema muscular disminuye la contracción causando alteraciones en músculo liso, útero y glándula mamaria. En el útero hay retención y almacenamiento de fluidos y desechos uterinos, con complicaciones bacterianas. En el sistema inmune, es importante la función de los neutrófilos y se manifiesta con una disminución de células dedicadas a la fagocitosis predisponiendo a mastitis y metritis. En la hipocalcemia bovina se distinguen dos presentaciones: clínica y subclínica. En la clínica (valores de Ca inferiores a 5.5 mg/dl) se altera la homeostasis con pérdida de apetito, decúbito y letargo. La hipocalcemia subclínica es más común (Ca entre 8.0 y 5.5 mg/dl), y no se altera la homeostasis, pero si se reduce la contracción muscular y la función inmune. El tratamiento se basa en la aplicación de calcio vía oral en vacas de pie, y vía endovenosa en las vacas postradas. La prevención depende de la inclusión de raciones que contengan sales aniónicas con lo cual se favorece el estímulo de mantener los niveles de Ca sanguíneos para controlar el nivel de cationes y aniones. Además, se puede administrar Ca vía oral. La homeostasis de calcio en la lactancia es regulada por la hormona serotonina, que estimula a la hormona paratiroidea y la reabsorción ósea en los osteoclastos.

Serologic tests are important for the detection of specific antibodies against infectious agents. Commercial indirect ELISA are costly and usually as effective as in-house ELISAs. In the present work, it was prepared a batch of Anaplasma marginale crude antigen from infected blood, and tested it against official positive and negative serum controls and compared with an old batch of antigen. The new antigen batch showed an efficiency similar to the old batch. The sensitivity of the test was comparable between the new and old batches. Both, new and old antigen lots are being used at an excess. The new antigen lot is large enough to run thousands of tests at a more affordable price than commercial kits.

The effect of breed on growth, characteristics, and carcass classification was investigated using 11 Charollais x Pelibuey (ChP) lambs, 10 Dorper x Pelibuey (DP) lambs, and 18 Pelibuey (P) lambs in an intensive production system in a warm-humid climate. A significant effect of genotype ( <0.05) was observed on birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), and daily weight gain (DWG), all of which were higher in the ChP genotype. ChP and DP lambs reached commercial weight 35 and 23 d earlier, respectively than P lambs. Genotype has a marked influence on the carcass characteristics, affect conformation and classification of carcass. The probability of obtaining a carcass with good conformation and MEX 1 classification (good: MEX 1) is 72 % higher for the ChP genotype than for the P genotype. The loin and leg yields of the ChP genotype were higher than those of the other genotypes. The pH, temperature, and instrumental color of the carcass, meat, and subcutaneous fat were affected by genotype. ChP lambs showed better growth, characteristics, and carcass classification than lambs of the DP and P genotypes.

Public health is a multidisciplinary field that intervenes at organizational, community, and individual levels to prevent disease, improve quality of life, and create an environment in which people can enjoy good health. Public health campaigns are used worldwide for a variety of purposes and are based largely on psychological theories. Such theories attempt to understand the effect of many elements in human behavior that influence decisionmaking when it comes to health issues and their solutions. Health awareness campaigns are designed in the way that their role is to promote or protect health or prevent illness in communities or individuals by creating awareness. Health awareness campaigns are an essential part of public health as through health promotion and education, awareness levels of individuals can be increased leading to better adoption of preventive strategies. The aim of this research is to review the available literature about the role of health awareness campaigns in public health. Health awareness programs that include the use of different forms of communication media and the provision of health-related products are effective in changing people's attitudes and behavior. Through behavioral modification, health communication can reduce mortality and morbidity, thus reducing disease burden. During the current digital era, health awareness and communication can be easily conducted on mass media platforms. Health awareness campaigns tend to increase the knowledge and awareness levels of individuals and communities. This is supported by current literature, however, more research in the future can help us better understand the role of health awareness campaigns in the field of public health.

Published: September 2022

Small pelagics are suitable candidates to identify regime shifts in fish
stocks. They respond rapidly to ocean climate changes, specifically with
a fast growth and early maturation in warm waters. This work examines
landings data of small pelagics over a 40-year period (1980-2019), and
auction and laboratory data of two species (Scomber colias and Trachurus
picturatus) from Madeira (NE Atlantic Ocean). Integrated data on Sea
Surface Temperature Anomaly (SSTA) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)
is also discussed. General Additive Models (GAMs) showed that a regime
shift occurred in 2002, within a 2000-2003 transition period. SSTA and
NAO data explained up to 88.2% of the community shift.
Temperature-driven changes are not limited to a decrease of landings but
also to a low gonadosomatic index (GSI) and first maturity size, as well
as an increase in natural mortality of both species. This trend was
relentless despite the implemented stock management actions. An urgent
need to consider ocean warming in the management of fish stocks is
required.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate associations between a broad range of approaches to classifying diet and incident type 2 diabetes in the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study. 

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study included 8,750 Black and White adults without diabetes at baseline. Diabetes was defined as fasting glucose>=70 mmol/L, or random glucose>=111 mmol/L, or use of diabetes medications. The exposures were diet scores including: Mediterranean, DASH, Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND), Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII), Dietary Inflammation Score (DIS) and empirical dietary patterns (plant-based and Southern) determined using data collected with Block98 food frequency questionnaire. Modified Poisson regression was used to assess the association of dietary measures with risk of incident type 2 diabetes, with models adjusted for total energy intake, demographics, lifestyle factors, and waist circumference. 

RESULTS There were 1026 cases of incident type 2 diabetes during follow-up (11.7%). Adherence to the Southern dietary pattern was the pattern most strongly associated with risk of incident type 2 diabetes after adjustment for demographics and lifestyle (Q5 vs. Q1: RR=1.95; 95% CI=1.57 – 2.41). Of the diet scores, DIS (Q5 vs Q1 RR=1.41) and MIND (Q1 vs Q5 RR=1.33) demonstrated anti-inflammatory diets had strongest associations with lower diabetes incidence.

CONCLUSION 

We found associations of several dietary approaches with incident type 2 diabetes. Investigation into mechanisms driving the association with the Southern dietary pattern is warranted. Further research of dietary inflammation scores (DIS and DII), and MIND diet score, should be considered in dietary recommendations for diabetes prevention.
Stem Cell Therapy Improves Human Islet Graft Survival in Mice via Regulation of Macrophages

Published: September 2022

Islet/b cell transplantation offers great hope for patients with type 1 diabetes. We assessed the mechanisms of how intrahepatic co-infusion of human alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT)-engineered mesenchymal stromal cells (hAAT-MSCs) improve survival of human islet grafts post-transplantation (PT). Longitudinal in vivo bioluminescence imaging studies identified significantly more islets in the livers bearing islets co-transplanted with hAAT-MSCs compared to islets transplanted alone. In vitro mechanistic studies revealed that hAAT-MSCs inhibit macrophage migration and suppress IFN-g-induced M1-like macrophages while promoting IL-4-induced M2-like macrophages. In vivo, this translated to significantly reduced CD11c+ and F4/80+ cells and increased CD206+ cells around islets co-transplanted with hAAT-MSCs as identified by multiplex immunofluorescence staining. Recipient-derived F4/80+and CD11b+ macrophages were mainly present in the periphery of an islet, while CD11c+ and CD206+ cells appeared inside an islet. hAAT-MSCs inhibited macrophage migration and skewed the M1-like phenotype toward an M2 phenotype both in vitro and in vivo, which may have favored islet survival. These data provide evidence that hAAT-MSCs co-transplanted with islets remain in the liver and shift macrophages to a protective state that favors islet survival. This novel strategy may be used to enhance b cell survival during islet/b cell transplantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes or other diseases.
Ca2+ Oscillations, Waves, and Networks in Islets from Human Donors With and Without Type 2 Diabetes

Published: September 2022

Pancreatic islets are highly interconnected structures that produce pulses of insulin and other hormones, maintaining normal homeostasis of glucose and other nutrients. Normal stimulus-secretion and intercellular coupling are essential to regulated secretory responses and these hallmarks are known to be altered in diabetes. In the present study, we used calcium imaging of isolated human islets to assess their collective behavior. The activity occurred in the form of calcium oscillations, was synchronized across different regions of islets through calcium waves, and was glucose-dependent: higher glucose enhanced the activity, elicited a greater proportion of global calcium waves, and led to denser and less fragmented functional networks. Hub regions were identified in stimulatory conditions and they were characterized by long active times. Moreover, calcium waves were found to be initiated in different subregions and the roles of initiators and hubs did not overlap. In type 2 diabetes, glucose-dependence was retained, but a reduced activity, locally restricted waves, and more segregated networks were detected compared with control islets. Interestingly, hub regions seemed to suffer the most by losing a disproportionately large fraction of connections. These changes affected islets from donors with diabetes in a heterogeneous manner.

Published: September 2022

The transition from lean to obese states involves systemic metabolic remodeling that impacts insulin sensitivity, lipid partitioning, inflammation, and glycemic control. Here, we have taken a pharmacological approach to test the role of a nutrient-regulated chromatin modifier, lysine-specific demethylase (LSD1), in obesity-associated metabolic reprogramming. We show that systemic administration of an LSD1 inhibitor (GSK-LSD1) reduces food intake and body weight, ameliorates non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in mouse models of obesity. GSK-LSD1 has little effect on systemic metabolism of lean mice, suggesting LSD1 has a context-dependent role in promoting maladaptive changes in obesity. Analysis of insulin target tissues identified white adipose tissue as the major site of insulin sensitization by GSK-LSD1, where it reduces adipocyte inflammation and lipolysis. We demonstrate that GSK-LSD1 reverses NAFLD in a non-hepatocyte-autonomous manner, suggesting an indirect mechanism potentially via inhibition of adipocyte lipolysis and subsequent effects on lipid partitioning. Pair-feeding experiments further revealed that effects of GSK-LSD1 on hyperglycemia and NAFLD are not a consequence of reduced food intake and weight loss. These findings suggest that targeting LSD1 could be a strategy for treatment of obesity and its associated complications including type 2 diabetes and NAFLD.
Verification of methods in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by the intralaboratory method

Published: September 2022

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the requirements of the standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for the verification of test and calibration methods. The necessity of verification of standardized methods is demonstrated and the characteristics of standardized methods that need to be confirmed during their verification are revealed. The method of intralaboratory verification of test methods is proposed, which is to confirm the repeatability and trueness of methods based on the results of control measurements of reference materials in accordance with the principles set out in the series of international standards ISO 5725. This method can be applied to calibrate measures of physical quantities.In case of absence of reference materials, the verification of methods can be performed by interlaboratory comparisons. It is noted that the verification of test methods is a mandatory requirement for calculating the measurement uncertainty according to the reproducibility indicators given in the standardized method. The recommendations for laboratory actions to improve accuracy in case of unsatisfactory verification results are given.

Implementation of modern requirements for the quality and stability of radio communications, including the required data rate in industrial and atmospheric jamming, is impossible without accurate measurements of signal power at the output of transmitting devices in the transmitter-antenna section. Such measurements are performed using power analyzers that measure both incident and reflected waves. These parameters allow calculating the standing wave ratio, which makes it possible to ensure optimal coordination of the transmitter with antenna, the required power modes and the efficiency of the transmitter as a whole.

The paper presents main results of the research on the evaluation of measurement uncertainty when calibrating of the analyzers of the throughput power of high-frequency signals in coaxial paths.

The structural scheme and equations (model) of measurements, and features of calculating uncertainty budget are described. The basic principles for obtaining continuous calibration results in the whole range of measurements are revealed. An example of presenting calibration results in graphical form is given.

The content of quantitative and qualitative indicators of corrections that must be taken into account during calibration to achieve the highest accuracy of measurements is revealed. It is expedient to use practical results of researches on calibration of throughput power meters in many areas connected with telecommunications and transmission of radio signals.

The paper announces that the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection of Ukraine has developed the “Ukrainian Green Deal”, the ambitious goal of which is the transition to a climate-neutral economy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and decarbonizing the economy by 2070. The “European Green Deal” provides for the achievement of similar goals by 2050. It is mentioned that the share of biomethane and “green” methane in the overall system of transmission and consumption of natural gas is planned to increase. The process of biomethane production by biogas enrichment and carbon dioxide separation is described. The perspective course of pure hydrogen production by water electrolysis due to the use of excess “green” energy from solar and wind power plants is noted. The way of complex integration of biomethane and “green” hydrogen production is suggested. The process of “methanation”, i.e. the conversion of “green” hydrogen and carbon dioxide as a waste product in the production of biomethane is described. The readiness of the NAAU to accredit verification bodies of greenhouse gas emission due to the introduction of the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading in Ukraine was stated. The calculation of the combustion heat values, density and Wobbe number for natural gas when mixed with pure hydrogen has been simulated. It is pointed that when the heat of combustion decreases and exceeds the permissible limits, the Wobbe number does not exceed the minimum set value, which indicates the absence of the need to replace gas-consuming equipment. It is argued that if it is necessary to increase the combustion heat of a mixture of natural gas with hydrogen, it is necessary to enrich it with “heavy” hydrocarbon gases.

MEANING LIFE AHEAD OF DEATH IN HEIDEGGER AND RAHNER'S COMPARISONAL REFLECTION
Authors: Pabubung, Michael Reskiantio
Published: September 2022

Death is usually seen as the end of everything. So many people try and build an effort to run from death in so many ways, both conventional and modern, from the traditional one to the high technology usage. However, whatever we do, we finally face death. The fear of death sometimes makes humans run from it, make a tranquilization, an inauthentic attitude, or according to Heidegger “inauthenticity of being-toward-death”. Consequently, so many opportunities for a meaningful life are left behind. By using the qualitative method through literature research, this inquiry comes to a reflection of the meaning of life in the face of death in the frame of comparative study. This paper is based on Heidegger’s argument in his book Sein und Zeit (SZ). A new terminology he built, Sein-zum-Tode, stimulates various questions vis-a-vis the reality of life encountered by the entire society in today’s world. Are there any relevances of his argument on death to build a meaningful life here and now? To make a balance of reflection, this paper presents the theological perspective of Karl Rahner, Heidegger’s former student. By comparing these two thinkers, between a philosopher and a theologian, the author comes to a reflection that the mystery of death must be understood in relation to the creative and meaningful life in this world
FAITHFUL PRESENCE IN THE PUBLIC SPACE
Authors: Adiprasetya Joas
Published: September 2022

This article investigates the possibility of the presence of the Church in the the public space through the presence of Christian persons in their various everyday spheres. By employing the dyadic understanding of abiding-and-go (Michael Gorman) and abiding-and-sending (the Generous Love document), I argue that Christians represent the whole church in their presence in the public space. In turn, by representing the whole church, Christians also make the Trinitarian communion present through their public engagement. As such, the church participates in God’s mission (missio Dei) both institutionally and personally.
LAND IS THE “WOMB” OF PAPUAN WOMEN
Authors: Stefanus Mahuze
Published: September 2022

Papua experiences turmoil almost every year and often becomes an interesting subject for public discourse. However, Papuans are powerless when it comes to determining their own future. For sixty years (1962-2022), Papuans have to survive amidst the smell of bloodshed and the sounds of gunshots, demonstrations, lamentations, and other commotions that hinder human development. These have invited various parties to gather and think for solutions for peace. Despite this, the ideology of “NKRI Harga Mati” (Non-negotiable Sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia) has gained more popularity than the humane concept of Pancasila. The conflict driven by populist ideology has created scars in the history of the indigenous people of Papua, especially for Papuan women. The 117 years (1905-2022) of the Gospel preached in Papua has not been sufficient to liberate the Papuans. The patriarchy that preaches justice and humanity is likened to a fashion show for false generosity. They cry out for justice and yet they oppress Papuan women. This experience calls for a theological reflection from the lives of Papuan women. In using Delores S. William’s womanist theological framework, the author will discover how God speaks in the history of Papuan women and how God acts through their being.
Acto ilocucionario y convencionalidad
Authors: Keri Manuel
Published: September 2022

El presente trabajo aborda el problema del carácter convencional de los actos ilocucionarios a la luz de la teoría de los actos de habla de Austin. Para ello, se comenzará por esquematizar la argumentación general presente en Cómo hacer cosas con palabras, enfatizando el tratamiento de los actos ilocucionarios y la caracterización de los mismos como convencionales. Luego, se considerará la crítica que Strawson realiza a la tesis de la convencionalidad de los actos ilocucionarios. Se contrastará esta perspectiva con la crítica de Searle a la concepción griceana del significado y su elaboración de una descripción convencionalista de los actos ilocucionarios. A continuación, se abordará la tesis del convencionalismo de los efectos de Sbisà y se considerará la crítica que elabora respecto de las posiciones de Strawson y de Searle. Finalmente, se argumentará en favor de la superioridad de la postura de Sbisà. Esta superioridad radica, por una parte, en el hecho de constituir una reconstrucción más fiel de las intuiciones originales de Austin. Por otra parte, la perspectiva propuesta por Sbisà es preferible por su capacidad para proporcionar una solución al problema de elaborar una descripción sólida de los actos perlocucionarios.
