Published: May 2022

Functional materials that have a prominent place in high technology are not classified according to their origin (metals, ceramics, polymers, glass, etc.) or processing technology, but by the functions they can perform. Zeolites are an interesting and important raw material for preparing a variety of target substances. From a traditional point of view, they are aluminosilicate oxide with a nanoporous structure. However, zeolites are adsorbents, ion exchangers, catalysts, and can be used in medicine, agriculture, construction and many other applications. The availability of natural minerals, as well as methods of synthesis of their analogues, and modification of both natural and synthetic materials, developed in sufficient detail, allows to obtain a variety of substances with predetermined properties, which are tailored for specific purposes. This paper will discuss a wide range of existing and also possible applications of these materials, such as catalysis, photocatalysis and sensor design. The specified modifications are achieved through controlled changes in the chemical composition of the zeolite surface.
Artificial neural network model for prediction of viscoelastic behaviour of polycarbonate composites
Authors: Sonawane Shriram Shaligram
Published: May 2022

Polymer composites are the result of incorporation of nanoparticles into the polymers and can lead to improvements even with a very small amount of reinforcement which can be tuned according to the applications. In order to understand the behaviour of these polymer composites we need to perform a number of characterizations and analyses which in turn requires investment of money and time.  Thus, to reduce the number of characterizations and analyses for developing polymer composites, computational techniques can prove helpful. By means of a computational technique known as artificial neural network (ANN), prediction of the thermo-mechanical properties was made possible. Here dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) data set was used for characterization of polycarbonate / calcium carbonate-SiO2 core shell composites (polycarbonate composites). Using the dataset, the selected ANN model consisted of a network of [3-10-1]. The prediction accuracy achieved using ANN method, was around 90%. Applicability and performance of ANN to the existing system was also confirmed by mean squared error (MSE), which is favourably small for this case, in the range of 10-5. The output predicted by ANN had a coefficient of correlation of 0.999. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis confirmed the importance of various input variables in relation with output. An optimization of the variables facilitated to maximize the conditions thus predicting glass transition temperature.

Likewise, the OPBA synthesis process with the ball mill process and co-precipitation. Characterization using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), FTIR and X-ray fluorescence (XRF). The results of characterization using XRD showed a decrease in particle size in bentonite-OPBA nanocomposites. The SEM results show uniformity of particle size in Bentonite-OPBA nanocomposite. Meanwhile, the FTIR results showed absorption peaks indicating bonding in the nanocomposite, confirmed by XRF results. The XRF results show the content of SiO2 and Al2O3 in the nanocomposite so that it can be applied as a nanofiller.

Published: May 2022

Abstract: In a democratic country, like India voting is an important way where the citizen can cast their vote. Usually voting is done by casting their vote in polling booth. As the technology increases, nowadays electronic voting machine is used for casting vote. This paper is about an IoT based voting machine with fingerprint verification. The main aim of this project is to make voting secure using fingerprint verification and also to reduce malpractices. The details of the voter along with their fingerprint in stored in database. If the fingerprint matches with the stored fingerprint, the system checks the aadhar number of the user and if authenticated, it checks if multiple votes have been cast. If the fingerprint matching is not correct “Matching failed” message will be displayed and if aadhar number is not correct, then “Aadhar not match” message will be displayed. Voter can enter his/her native place and vote for the corresponding candidate using thingspeak and the result can be obtained using the same. The Arduino Uno is the controller used in this project. Fingerprint is used to authenticate the user. There is at least a slight difference between the fingerprints of each person. When a malpractice occurs, “Already voted”message will be displayed. The arduino IDE is used for programming the board and cloud is used to display ballot card and to store the result. System provides an alert on malpractice and only an authorized voter can cast the vote. This project safeguards the citizen’s right to vote and guarantee fair election.

Published: May 2022

Diferentes características psicológicas están asociadas al rendimiento deportivo, pero no es claro cómo estas interactúan con el malestar psicológico que pueden padecer los deportistas. Este estudio analizó la relación entre las Características Psicológicas relacionadas con el Rendimiento Deportivo (cuestionario CPRD) y la escala de malestar psicológico de Kessler (K-10). La muestra consistió en un total de 103 deportistas jóvenes de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (48.5 % hombres; edad M = 20.05; DE = 1.41). Un 22.3 % de los participantes padece de malestar psicológico. Los hombres presentaron puntajes más altos en cuanto al control del estrés e influencia de la evaluación en el rendimiento. Los sujetos que practicaban deporte grupal presentaron mayores puntajes en cuanto al control de estrés y en la cohesión de equipo. Se encontró una relación negativa entre el malestar psicológico y las dimensiones control de estrés e influencia de la evaluación en el rendimiento. Los resultados muestran cómo los perfiles psicológicos de los deportistas se relacionan con la experiencia de malestar y contribuyen a la idea de que el desarrollo de habilidades psicológicas en el deporte no solo se asocia a un mejor rendimiento, sino también a un mayor bienestar, aspecto clave en el momento de diseñar intervenciones.

The protective effect of TND1128, with self-redox ability, on Ca2+ overloaded mouse brain slice and its comparison with β-NMN.
Authors: Takahashi Nanae , Akaike Norio , Nagamatsu Tomohisa , Uchino Hiroyuki , Kudo Yoshihisa
Published: May 2022

Background and purpose: We have no definitive treatment for dementia
characterized by prolonged neuronal death due to cerebrovascular
degeneration or the enormous accumulation of foreign matters, such as
β-amyloid. Since these diseases develop slowly, we may be able to delay
the onset and improve these symptoms by enhancing the energy metabolism
of individual neurons to assist their viabilities. We examined the
effect of TND1128, a derivative of 5-deazaflavin, proven to have the
self-redox ability as a possible candidate for a direct activator for
mitochondrial energy synthesis. Experimental Approach: We prepared brain
slices obtained from mice 22 ± 2 hours pretreated with TND1128 or β−ΝΜΝ
used as an active control. We measured Ca2+ concentrations in the
cytoplasm ([Ca2+]cyt) and mitochondria ([Ca2+]mit) by using
fluorescence Ca2+ indicators, Fura4F, and X-rhod-1, respectively, and
examined the protective effects of TND1128 and β−ΝΜΝ on overloaded
cytosolic and mitochondrial Ca2+ by repeating 80K exposure. Key Results:
TND1128 (0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/kg s.c.) mitigates the dynamics of both
[Ca2+]cyt and [Ca2+]mit in a dose-dependent manner. β−ΝΜΝ (10,
30, and 100mg/kg s.c.) showed significant dose-dependent facilitatory
effects on the recovery of [Ca2+]cyt during washing for 5 minutes.
However, there was no significant effect on the [Ca2+]mit dynamics.
Conclusion and implications: TND1128 works as a cofactor for activating
cellular energy production machinery. TND1128 would rescue deteriorating
neurons in various cerebrovascular disorder-related diseases, including
Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Furthermore, TND1128 will
rescue patients with disorders of respiratory organs, such as pulmonary
emphysema and COVID-19, which causes respiratory disability

Published: May 2022

Objective To gain insight into perinatal outcomes in women with chronic
conditions, in order to contribute to the optimization of personalized
perinatal care. Design Population-based study using data of the Dutch
national perinatal registry between 2010-2019. Setting Nationwide.
Population Pregnancies of women who were diagnosed with chronic medical
conditions by a medical specialist before pregnancy (n=36,835), divided
over seven subgroups and a reference group of pregnancies of women
without known chronic medical conditions (n=1,084,623). Methods
Descriptive and testing statistics. Main outcome measures The primary
outcome was mode of birth. Secondary outcomes were onset of labor,
preterm birth, asphyxia, NICU admission, and perinatal mortality.
Results Spontaneous birth ranged from 45.0% (orthopedic conditions) to
71.3% (neurological conditions) to 82.6% in the reference group.
Instrumental vaginal birth (p<0.001), planned Cesarean birth
(p<0.001) and emergency Cesarean birth (p<0.001)
differed significantly in all groups if compared to the reference group.
Preterm birth was significantly more present in the studied groups
(p<0.001) as well as perinatal asphyxia (p<0.001)
and NICU admission (p<0.001). Adjusting for mode of birth,
parity, age and ethnicity did not change the outcomes for the total
group of women with chronic medical conditions. Perinatal mortality was
seen in all groups but in none of the separate groups significantly more
than in the reference group. Conclusions Women with chronic conditions
more often are confronted with preterm birth, Cesarean deliveries, NICU
admission of the newborn, and perinatal mortality

A High Accuracy and Configurable Voltage (1.2/1.8/2.5/3.3V) Bandgap Reference with Base Current Compensation for DC-DC Converters
Authors: Zhou Hao , Wang Yuanfei , Min Hao
Published: May 2022

Presented is an improved bandgap reference, which has the performance of
high accuracy and can generate the required voltage reference. In this
bandgap reference, the improved base current compensation is proposed to
eliminate the effect of the base current. Meanwhile, a high reference
voltage generator is used to provide configurable output voltages of
1.2/1.8/2.5/3.3V needed by DC-DC converters. The bandgap reference is
realized in a standard 180nm CMOS process with an area of 0.05 mm×mm.
Among the 5 sample chips of the reference, in the temperature range of
-40 oC to 125 oC, the temperature coefficients of all the reference
voltages range from 3 ppm/oC to 38 ppm/oC. The best average value of
temperature coefficients is 6.03 ppm/oC when the reference voltage is
2.5V. The best line sensitivities (LS) is 0.23%/V when the reference
voltage is 1.8V with the power consumption of 150μW@VDD=5V;
Landscape analysis of runoff and sedimentation based on land use/cover change in two typical watersheds on the Loess Plateau
Authors: Liu Xiaojun , Zhang Yi , Li Zhanbin , Li Peng
Published: May 2022

Understanding sedimentation and runoff variations caused by land use
change have emerged as important research areas, due to the ecological
functions of landscape patterns. The aims of this study were to
determine the relationship between landscape metrics (LMs), runoff, and
sedimentation and explore the crucial LMs in the watersheds on the Loess
Plateau. From 1985 to 2010, Grassland (GRA) was the dominant landscape
in the Tuweihe (TU) and Gushanchuan (GU) watersheds. Unused land (UNL)
and farmland (FAR), respectively, experienced the greatest
transformations. The landscape in the study area tended to become
regular, connected, and aggregated. The landscape stability of the TU
watershed was higher than that of the GU watershed. Annual runoff and
sedimentation gradually decreased and significant relationship was found
between them (P <0.01). Due to larger FAR area and lower
landscape stability in the GU watershed, the sedimentation of the two
watersheds were similar, even though the runoff in the TU watershed was
greater. The LMs had more significant effects on runoff than that on
sedimentation yield. Shannon’s evenness index and the patch cohesion
index had the greatest effects on runoff and sedimentation, making them
the key factors of influencing water and soil loss. which could provide
a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of soil erosion.

Authors: Bhutto Ashraf
Published: May 2022

This study explores the influence of external examination on teaching and learning of Mathematics at the secondary schools affiliated with provincial and private examination boards in Pakistan. By employing the explanatory sequential mixed-method approach, this study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the Mathematics examination papers of last five years from both provincial and private examination boards were reviewed and analyzed to understand (1) the cognitive complexities required from the learners to solve the questions, (2) the frequency and variety in which the questions were repeated and (3) the chapters of prescribed books from which the questions are selected in the examination of last five years.  In the second phase, semi-structured interviews with teachers and students were conducted, along with participatory observation to understand how the examination patterns shape their teaching and learning. The findings revealed that the external examination directly influences teachers’ teaching, and indirectly students’ learning. Both the positive and negative effects of the external examination were found on the teaching and learning strategies of teachers and students, respectively.

German Newspaper Publishing in Osijek
Authors: Erl Šafar Marija , Lubina Tihana , Subjak Roberta
Published: May 2022

This paper provides a historical overview of German newspapers published in Osijek. In the period between the liberation from the Turks and the end of World War Two, almost half of Osijek’s population were Germans, which enabled them to play a significant role in all aspects of city life, and newspaper publishing was no exception. A review of German newspapers published in Osijek revealed that they differed in content, publication frequency and longevity. After reading and reviewing both scholarly and scientific literature, it was concluded that most facts about the newspapers were not completely, but partially preserved in a non-chronological order. Newspaper publishers operated in difficult circumstances and frequently changed editors and owners. However, today, we can claim, that German newspapers published in Osijek were vital, diverse in form and important to (educated) readers and their needs and habits. The newspapers were similar to magazines and covered all facets of life, including politics, science, economy, art and culture. Such newspapers covered everything their readership might find interesting, and many Croats contributed to those German newspapers as associates. This paper is based on the review of research and scholarly and scientific papers. The intention was to follow the logical and chronological structure of German newspapers.
Blast effect on construction barriers from external load including angle incidence
Authors: Jarosław Siwiński  , Katarzyna Kubiak
Published: May 2022

The paper presents the method of determining the impact of an external explosion on construction barriers, taking into account the angle of the shock wave. For the presented two variants of the analysis, i.e. for the load placed at a distance of 5 and 10 m from the construction barrier, the initial pressure of the reflected wave, the duration of overpressure and the course of load variability over time were determined. For the assumed parameters of the barrier and the blast load, the values of overpressure were determined, taking into account the angle of incidence and the angle of reflection. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the proposed method with other methods available in the literature was made. The convergence of the results did not exceed 10%. The proposed method allows to determine the boundary between the Mach and the incident waves.

Published: May 2022

Introduction/Objective. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of moxifloxacin and cefixime in preventing postoperative infection following mandibular third molar surgery. Methods. Double-blind study was completed by 157 patients undergoing surgical removal of mandibular third molars. The patients were randomly assigned to the following three groups: moxifloxacin (M), cefixime (C), and placebo (P). Patients in each group were classified into two subgroups: subgroup (a), without previous history of pericoronitis, and subgroup (b), with previous history of pericoronitis. All the patients were evaluated at the postoperative follow-ups on the first, second, and seventh postoperative day. Results. Postoperative infections were registered only in patients with a history of pericoronitis. Antibiotic prophylaxis with cefixime and moxifloxacin reduced the occurrence of postoperative infection. Overall incidence of postoperative infections was 6.4%. All postoperative infections were registered in the placebogroup, where the incidence of postoperative infection was 19.2%. Microbiological tests verified the clinically obtained results. Isolated microflora was resistant to penicillin-derived antibiotics in 50% of the cases. Conclusion. Prophylactic use of antibiotics after third molar surgery should be weighed against potential risks and benefits and could be considered in cases with previous history of pericoronitis, when complicated surgical extraction is performed.
A comprehensive numerical study of energy efficiency analysis of a double pipe gas cooler based on second law analysis
Authors: Yang Dazhang , Wang Naixin , Xie Jing , Wang Jinfeng
Published: May 2022

A numerical simulation of energy efficiency in commercially available double pipe heat exchangers in the market was investigated based on the Second law of thermodynamics in this paper. The effects of CO2 mass-flow rate, water mass-flow rate, pressure, CO2 inlet temperature, and water inlet temperature of the double pipe heat exchanger were considered to evaluate the energy efficiency by analyzing entropy generation, exergy destruction, and entransy dissipation. The changes of the entropy generation, the changes of exergy destruction, and entransy dissipation are similar regardless of the operating conditions. Pressure has the most significant effect on the energy efficiency of the double pipe gas cooler compared to other operating conditions but negligible on the exergy destruction. The pressure, flow rate, and inlet temperature have completely different effects on energy efficiency depending on the region. The entropy generation and entransy dissipation at y = 0 m to y = 0.05 m (y-axis is the radial direction) decrease with increasing pressure and the opposite after that. The increase of CO2 inlet temperature at y < 0.5 m is accompanied by an increase of entropy generation, exergy destruction, and entransy dissipation but this situation disappears after y = 0.5 m. Entropy generation, exergy destruction, and CO2 and water mass-flow rate are first negatively and then positively correlated with the cut-off point at y = 0.1 m.
The evolution of soot morphology for the maturation of nascent particle in a turbulent lifted jet flame
Authors: Zhao Tingyu , Fang Junhua , Huang Zhen
Published: May 2022

In order to understand the soot formation in Diesel engine, a turbulent jet flame is used to simulate the combustion in the cylinder. The experimental study is performed to investigate the evolution of soot morphology for the maturation of nascent particle in a turbulent lifted jet flame fueled by n-heptane/toluene mixtures. An ultrasonic atomizer is used to evenly spread the fuel droplets to acquire single primary particles. Transmission electron microscopy is used to study the morphology of the particle sampled from the flame at different heights. Small soot aggregates are acquired from all the samples. Particle maturation such as agglomeration is accelerated under a high temperature by comparing the particle morphology sampled on the centerline and the wings of the flame. The precursors of nascent particles are depicted as dark nucleation dispersed to semitransparent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The nanostructure of nascent particles transforms from an amorphous state to an onion structure with the maturation of particles. Surface growth initially dominates the maturation of nascent particles in the direction of outside to inside for single particles. Agglomeration begins to emerge with the increased probability of collision at the end of maturation. Surface growth and agglomeration increase the mean particle diameter as the flame height increases. The oxidability of particles that undergo surface growth and agglomeration notably increases. The structure of nascent particles is inclined to be ordered and the mean particle diameter decreases with oxidation dominating the combustion reaction.

Published: May 2022

Five wire-coil inserts with fixed wire diameter and different pitches, fitted inside a round tube have been experimentally studied in a transitional and low turbulent flow. Water was used as a working fluid at a wide range of flow conditions: 103 < Re < 104 and 3.9 < Pr < 10.0. The geometrical parameters of the inserts are: e/Di = 0.070, and p/e = 6.7, 9.0, 10.0, 12.5, and 15.0. The variation of the friction factor and heat transfer coefficients have been obtained and compared with those of the smooth pipe. Performance evaluation criteria for the cases FG-1a, FG-2a, and VG-2a have been used to evaluate the maximum and real benefit that can be obtained. The greatest benefit can be achieved with the pitch of the wire-coil insert p/e = 10.0.

Authors: Gu Yu , Gong Luyuan , Guo Yali , Shen Shengqiang
Published: May 2022

The pressure drop characteristics of pure steam condensation are studied in a horizontal tube with an inside diameter of 38 mm and a length of 3.4 m. The mass flux ranges from 3-7.5 kg/(m2s). The saturation temperatures of the inlet steam are 50?, 60?, and 70?. The temperature difference between the inlet steam and the inlet cooling water is from 3-7?. The influences of mass flux, total heat transfer temperature difference and inlet saturation temperature total pressure drop are investigated. The new correlation is proposed to calculate the total pressure drop of pure steam flow in a horizontal tube. The Dukler correlations based on the homogeneous flow model are good predictors for calculating the frictional pressure drop in this work.
Stressed about Money: The Effect of Employee Financial Pressure on Financial Reporting Outcomes
Authors: Mammadov Babak , Bhandari Avishek
Published: May 2022

This study investigates the effect of employee financial stress on financial reporting outcomes. Anxiety related to stress results in emotional exhaustion and reduced job performance. The conservation of resources theory predicts that anxiety caused by financial stress decreases employees’ work quality because anxiety drains individuals’ physical, cognitive, and psychological resources. Motivated by the conservation of resources theory, we expect and find that employee financial stress negatively affects financial reporting outcomes. Consistent with this prediction, we determine that employee financial stress is positively associated with material internal control weaknesses and restatements. The results are statistically and economically significant, and the results continue to hold after using alternative measures of employee financial stress and financial reporting quality. We conduct additional analyses to address endogeneity issues, and the inferences remain the same.

Published: May 2022

Aeroponic potato seed production in the highlands during foggy weather is an obstacle in increasing the number of tubers. Research that has been done previously is the addition of artificial light to support the growth and yield of potato seeds in the highlands. Nevertheless, from these results, there were still some plants that did not have optimal growth. It was suspected that the lamp height affects the growth and yield of aeroponic potato plants. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of lamp distance on artificial lighting on the growth and yield of aeroponic potatoes. The factors that were tried were the height of the lamp from the aeroponic box 110 cm, 120 cm, and 130 cm. The lamps used: 18 Watt red blue LED (RB) and 10 Watt white fluorescent lamp. The design used was a completely randomized design. Growth observation data and results were analyzed by F test followed by Duncan's Multiple Distance Test (DMRT) 5%. The results showed that the combination of RB LED lamps with a height of 110 cm produced the highest number of bulbs of 31,7 per plant. The weight of aeroponic potato tubers in the highlands with the highest yield was obtained from a combination of 110 cm (29,3 g) RB LED lights. Keywords:  Aartificial lighting, hydroponics, granola, greenhouse, tropical Indonesia

Many researchers have examined the implementation of the promotion method toward the agency principle of multicultural theory. However, little has examined the corrective feedback in promoting the tenet. Given the corrective feedback, the learner will be less used of their reflective thinking to promote themselves as an agent. Therefore, this study aimed to promote learners' agency by eliminating the corrective feedback in writing class and encouraging learners' reflective thinking. Three non-formal intermediate learners writing ability is analyzed in this study. The material given was following the syllabus of the course which is expressing of obligation and prohibition. There were three tasks given in this class. The first task is an individual project, the second is a group project, and the third is an individual project. After the learner finished the task the researcher analyzed the learner's writing improvement by analyzing the frequency and the variation of the lexical used and the grammar detail. Using Primary Trait Scoring, the findings pointed out that the writing ability of the learners improved both lexically and grammatically. Besides, the findings also supported that language produced by the learners is complex, dynamics, and more individual. It is expected that this research could be a consideration for educational stakeholders to select the appropriate method for the learners

Paco Bascuñán. Por siempre
Authors: Pelta Raquel
Published: May 2022

De profesión diseñador gráfico, el trabajo de Paco Bascuñán es, sin embargo, difícil de catalogar, acostumbrados como nos tenía a su situación intersticial y a su talento para transitar con fluidez por los intervalos entre pintura e ilustración, entre ilustración y fotografía, entre fotografía y tipografía y, en defi nitiva, entre arte y diseño. Su metodología única, sus hábitos de investigación y su voraz propensión hacia la creación en todos los ámbitos que estuvieran al alcance de su mano, hacen de Bascuñán una figura excepcional, de registros múltiples y variados, nada fácil de encontrar en el mundo del diseño gráfico y solo comparable al perfil de algunos de los artistas de las vanguardias como Schwitters, Rodchenko o El Lissitzky, a los que él tanto admiró y con quienes podemos reconocerle ciertas afinidades no sólo formales sino, también, conceptuales.

Mario Botta Architetture 1960-2010
Authors: Pisani Mario
Published: May 2022

Perché è così importante l’opera di Botta? Perché ha compreso prima di altri che era giunto il momento “di intraprendere una strada nuova dentro la complessità della società post-industriale”. Per dirlo con Carlo Bertelli, la sua architettura é caratterizzata dalla poetica dell’ascolto, dei luoghi e degli uomini. Una inesauribile disponibilità a recepire il territorio e coloro che lo abitano. Un ascolto che va oltre il fatto autoreferenziale —la casa o la chiesa alla Botta— per recepire e fare propri gli stimoli, le suggestioni, i percorsi che cercano di attribuire sostanza e concretezza all’intuizione progettuale.
Todo es diseño
Authors: Rodríguez Súnico Teresa
Published: May 2022

En el contexto de la Icograda Design Week en Madrid, celebrada entre los pasados días 21 al 25 de junio de 2010, se inauguró en esta misma ciudad –concretamente en el Salón de Columnas del Círculo de Bellas Artes– la exposición TODO ES DISEÑO.

Comisariada por Oscar Mariné, ha mostrado una selección de más de quinientos trabajos de diseñadores españoles (cuarenta profesionales de esta procedencia) y de otros países europeos (un total de veinte profesionales, en este caso). Ha pretendido hacer visible cómo el diseño de comunicación aporta valor a las empresas –especialmente en el aumento del valor de marca y la competitividad– y contribuye a la diversidad cultural y la calidad de vida de todos los ciudadanos.
Los tres fundamentos del lenguaje gráfico
Authors: Costa Joan
Published: May 2022

Lo que llamamos el “lenguaje gráfico” es la combinación de tres modos fundamentales de lenguajes; ellos están ligados a la condición intrínsecamente comunicacional del grafismo y del diseño. La comunicación humana tiene su vehículo fundador en el Lenguaje, que es su modo específico de construir y transmitir significados. Pero ‘los lenguajes’ gráfico, gestual, cromático, etc. son extensiones visuales derivadas del Lenguaje por excelencia: el habla.
Relaciones del diseño gráfico con la identidad de las ciudades. Conexiones con el city branding y el diseño de información
Authors: Grisolía Cardona Carmen Virginia
Published: May 2022

La identidad de las ciudades es un asunto que ha sido tratado desde muchas perspectivas, pero su relación con el diseño gráfico como expresión visual pocas veces ha sido tocada. El branding de lugares y el diseño de información son las áreas que con mayor frecuencia abordan el asunto del diseño gráfico en las urbes. En este texto se hace una exposición de la manera en que éstas disciplinas se vinculan, partiendo de sus definiciones básicas y exponiendo los autores e iniciativas más relevantes, con el objeto de identificar la influencia del diseño gráfico en la conformación de la identidad urbanas.

La deconstrucción un viaje estético reflexivo para comprender el arte y el diseño
Authors: Rojas Caldelas Francisco Roberto , Marín Álvarez Marco Antonio
Published: May 2022

La deconstrucción es un concepto con fuerte presencia en el diseño. Esta noción interesante ha transitado de la teoría lingüística a la literatura y después al diseño. Este documento presenta su abordaje desde distintos temas fundamentales para la comprensión de la teoría de la deconstrucción de Jacques Derrida, propuesta desde el año 1967 con base en la literatura del mismo autor, Gadamer, Adorno y otros.Se describe, asimismo, el viaje reflexivo que realiza un sujeto (espectador, diseñador o artista) que instituye a la deconstrucción como un espacio epistémico-hermenéutico de carácter binario que interroga a lo bello y a lo extraño, en un sentido de irrupción, ruptura o transgresión en búsqueda de romper con el modelo canónico establecido por la academia y la tradición en favor de la expresión inédita. Finalmente, se presentan algunas intersecciones del Diseño con la teoría de la deconstrucción aplicables didácticamente.
La tipografía y los monstruos
Authors: Hernández Muñoz Silvia María
Published: May 2022

La tipografía y la imagen han existido de forma conjunta desde el inicio. Desde las iniciales grabadas en piedra como marcas de cantero o las grabadas en las reses para marcar la propiedad. Responden a juegos visuales que construyen una imagen diferente al propio significado de las letras.Durante la Edad Media se inicia una tendencia a antropomorfizar las letras, bien de manera ascendente o descendente. El imaginario fantástico se origina en la representación de leyendas y pasajes bíblicos, pasando por todos los seres y monstruos inventados. Añadimos además que estos seres no son mero divertimento del ilustrador, sino que va unida una doctrina y además responden a un ejercicio mnemotécnico. Este dato es significativo pues inicia una relación entre la imagen y la pregnancia del mensaje.

Published: May 2022

Saber cuánta capacidad visual y transcripción de mensajes posee el ser humano, es una cuestión que sigue siendo un enigma, abarcando un vasto campo de procesos. Las connotaciones son multilaterales, ya que van desde la identificación de objetos a simple vista, hasta el uso de símbolos iconográficos y su lenguaje para conceptualizar.El resultado de estos estudios nos facilitará la diferenciación de los aspectos estéticos de estos elementos, así como su manifestación en el campo de la producción artística contemporánea de ilustradores de prestigio internacional como Mark Ryden.

Background: A clinical skills session is a method of learning that focuses on performing procedures rather than receiving the information in a classical lecturing method. In a clinical session, undergraduate students acquire the clinical skills required for clinical practice, including history taking, examination skills, procedural skills, treatment planning, and communication skills.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was done at the College of Medicine, King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from October 2018 to April 2019. The sample consisted of students from the preclinical and clinical phases and male and female students (n = 323).
Results: The study included 323 medical students. Almost half (47%, n = 152) of the students had a good perception of the effectiveness of the clinical skills sessions. There was a significant difference between the perception scores and gender in all the domains. No significant differences were identified in the preclinical and clinical years regarding the tutor and the content domain. However, the preclinical students rated the organization domain higher.
Conclusion: The research indicated that the sample did not positively perceive the effectiveness of the clinical skill sessions they received in their years of training. The College of Medicine should enhance and promote the importance of clinical skills to the medical students to improve their clinical performance and reduce medical errors and patient safety after graduation. The majority of the students were optimistic about the clinical skills tutors and the organization\'s effort.
