The Effect of Social Class on the Linguistic Behavior of Saudi Female Employees at Al-Imam Muhammed Ibn Saud Islamic University
Authors: Zaghlool Zuhair Dawood Mohammad , Al-Zayed Nouf Mubarak
Published: August 2021

This study aimed to investigate how the linguistic behaviors of Saudi female employees at Al-Imam Muhammad Ibn Saud Islamic University index their social class identity. The study used a holistic case with embedded units design. The researchers carried out interviews to collect the data. The interview questions were validated by eight EFL university professors. Besides, the discourse analysis was discussed based on the ethnography of communicative approach and the interactional sociolinguistics approach. The data analysis revealed that the linguistic behavior of the Saudi female employees yielded variant extents of indexation to their social class identity in terms of self-esteem, prestige, and power. The results proved that the linguistic behavior of the professors indexed their high-class identity in terms of their high level of self-esteem, high level of prestigious state, and high level of possessing power emotions. In addition, the linguistic behavior of the security employees indexed only two phases of their middle-class identity which were unsuccessful attempts to be prestigious speakers and their moderate sense of power. Finally, the indexation of the workers’ identity as low-class speakers was manifested in their linguistic behavior in terms of the low level of self-esteem and lack of power possession emotions.

Esta nota prática discute a metodologia usada, as lições aprendidas, as principais conclusões e as melhores práticas com base em um projeto-piloto com sensores de qualidade do ar de baixo custo. Esses instrumentos foram usados, ​nos modos fixo e móvel, para medir as concentrações de material particulado 2,5 (MP2,5) em alguns dias da Sexta Sem Carro de São Paulo. O uso desses sensores pode aprimorar tanto a rede de monitores da qualidade do ar existente nas cidades quanto a análise do impacto de iniciativas específicas. A implantação de sensores de baixo custo para analisar a Sexta Sem Carro indica que a iniciativa pode ter impactos na concentração local de MP. No estudo dos sensores fixos, considerando apenas as sextas-feiras medidas durante o estudo, foi observada uma diferença estatística significativa entre as concentrações de MP2,5 nas sextas-feiras sem carros circulando em comparação com as sextas-feiras com carros. O uso de dados móveis também demonstrou um bom potencial para análises posteriores, ajudando a identificar locais com concentrações mais altas de MP. Estudos futuros para avaliar a intervenção poderiam analisar outros tipos de poluentes e deveriam usar uma amostra maior de dias para poder oferecer conclusões estatísticas sobre os impactos da iniciativa.
If You're Woke You Dig It
Authors: Perry Brianna
Published: August 2021

"If You're Woke You Dig It" is a research article and elegy for the popular AAVE term, "woke." I attempt to illustrate woke's early uses in the Black Atlantic in connection to its resurgence in the 21st century. I discuss it's usage among non-Black people and the absorption of Black Vernacular Englishes into popular consciousness and its usage by non-Black people. I argue that the "death" of woke is indicative of the lack of possession Black people have over cultural production and the importance of Black Vernacular English as a counter- hegemonic tactic. Black cultural production should be understood as key to global black liberation.

Method: Powdered mixture materials were extracted with distilled water using soxhlet apparatus. The dried extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis and the extracts were evaluated for acute oral toxicity by OECD guidelines 423.The aqueous extract at a dose level 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg were selected and administered to albino rats for hepatoprotective screening. Hepatotoxicity was induced by Carbon tetrachloride (1 ml/kg with CMC). Silymarin (100 mg/kg p. o) was used as the standard. Result: The preliminary phytochemical examination showed the presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, Saponins, Flavanoids, Tannins, Aminoacids, Tryptophan, Quinones, Terpinoids, Starch, Vitamin C and Carbohydrates. Furthermore, the acute toxicity study results showed that the extracts were found to be safe up to 2000 mg/kg b. wt. The extract dose dependently shows hepatoprotective potential by restoring the elevated biochemical parameters. Conclusion: The results obtained from the study indicates that mixture of stem bark, leaves and root extract of Bauhinia acuminata L. possess promising hepatoprotective activity. The activity might be due the presence of the phytoconstituents including Alkaloids, Glycosides, Saponins, Flavanoids, Tannins, Aminoacids, Carbohydrates Terpinoids, Starch, Vitamin C, Tryptophan and Quinones in the extract. Further studies are required to identify the active principle responsible for the hepatoprotective activity.

Published: August 2021

A facilidade e a evolução do acesso tecnológico têm sido responsáveis pela velocidade e pelo volume com que os dados são produzidos. Em consequência, surgem cenários, oportunidades e desafios que favorecem as tomadas de decisão e auxiliam o processo de desenvolvimento do produto (PDP). Diante disso, o presente trabalho desenvolveu o modelo denominado MDC-PDP (Modelo de descoberta de conhecimento no processo de desenvolvimento de produto), com objetivo de apoiar a descoberta de conhecimento no processo de desenvolvimento do produto. Para dar suporte ao modelo, foram utilizadas as metodologias tradicionais associadas às demandas do Big Data. Para ilustrar a sua aplicação, o presente modelo foi aplicado no domínio de aplicação da indústria de moda. O modelo evidenciou que esforços empreendidos na compreensão antecipada dos dados, podem contribuir para que os dados extraídos sejam menos complexos. Outra evidência é a dissociação entre volume e valor dos dados, pois o valor dos dados não está vinculado ao seu volume. Por fim o MDC-PDP também contribuiu na obtenção de conhecimentos úteis e novos no desenvolvimento de coleção de moda, sendo possível aplicar o modelo em outros domínios de aplicação.
Using Retouch-Free Disclaimers in Advertisements to Reduce Negative Social Comparison in Adolescents
Authors: Heuer Galen , Berge Jill
Published: August 2021

This experimental study examines the effects of retouch-free disclaimers in advertising on adolescents’ mood, self-esteem, and how authentic the ad is perceived to be. These effects were compared to those of adolescents who viewed ads with a traditional retouched disclaimer, and those of adolescents who viewed ads with no disclaimer at all. I found no significant correlations between type of disclaimer and change in mood or self-esteem. However, adolescent females did view ads with a retouch-free disclaimer as significantly more authentic than ads with a retouched disclaimer. Additionally, I found that adolescent females found all advertisements, regardless of experimental condition, to be significantly more authentic than their male peers did. This study can provide guidance to fashion and beauty marketers on the potential benefits of using retouch-free disclaimers to appeal to an adolescent audience.

Authors: Mortier Courtney , Tetmeyer Kimberly
Published: August 2021

This research study will be looking at the benefits and time-frame benefits of 3D printing. The purpose of this is to prove how the data collected agrees with past research studies on how the integration of 3D printing technology into the field of orthotics and prosthetics is considered beneficial. Participant one was given two sets of 10 questions to find a statistical significance between a traditional transradial prosthesis and a 3D manufactured transradial prosthesis. By doing this I then compared participant one's answers to a similar survey given to participants two and three, then drew the connection of how it is much more beneficial while also accounting for confounding variables. Consequently, this study concluded that the majority of answers benefited the integration of 3D printing. It proved this by having the participant explain their answers and also compare a traditional prosthesis to a 3D printed prosthesis specifically explaining the time-frame difference and the benefits of having the digitally manufactured prosthesis. This indicated how my research did support the past research done on this specific topic on how it is beneficial that 3D manufacturing should be integrated into prosthetics and orthotics. This study is solely correlational and analyzed data, meaning, it does not actually prove anything but was simply done to show the connection of the topic. With the results of this research it will add more support to the current body of research.

The main goal of our research is to find out a relationship between the unemployment rate and the GDP growth rate in Sri Lanka according to Okun’s law and to know whether it can still be used as the best rule of thumb. This empirical analysis has employed the difference model, dynamic model, Error Correction Model (ECM) and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) to validate the relationship between the unemployment rate and economic growth suggested by Okun's Law. The study is based on Quarterly data from 2004 Q1 to 2019 Q4. The results obtained through the application of varies econometric techniques such as Ordinary least square (OLS), Engel-Granger approach and cointegration procedure. The study finds that, Okun’s law is supported only by the cointegration analysis as expected by the Okun’s law in Sri Lanka. However, all other versions were reported negative Okun’s law coefficient signs while these results are not statistically significant. Overall this study is not able to found enough evidence to prove the inverse relationship between unemployment rate and economic growth rate in short run and able to found that Okun’s law can still be used as the best rule of thumb to describe the relationship between the unemployment and GDP growth in long term in Sri Lanka.

AUTHENTICITY AND ORIGINALITY IN THE FIRE OF MOHAMMED DIB
Authors: LOUIZA Hachani
Published: August 2021

French-speaking Algerian writers find themselves forced to situate themselves in relation to French literature and their representation of Algerian reality. They are writers who have been specific in their distinction from the literature of the West because they have allowed the reader to discover the national heritage as well as the culture of their country. In order to highlight the richness and the multiplicity of the romantic forms of Africa, our major concern will be center on the sociocritical study of the novel of Dib "The Fire" with the aim of highlighting the social anchoring of the text and extract traces of Algerian culture. This cultural richness is manifested through the anchoring of Islam, the use of expressions referring to the culture of Algerians. Originality is also reflected in the picture he paints of his society in his daily life. The structure of Dib's work reveals close relations with Algerian culture, on the one hand, on the other hand, this orientation of the writing gives it an aesthetic particularity, The return to the sources and the valuation of its identity gives to the Dibien text its authenticity and originality.

In the building industry, ground improvement techniques based on stone column are widely employed. It is a very successful approach for enhancing the engineering characteristics of soil in all aspects, as well as reducing the settling issue in poor-grounded soils including silt, clay, silty sand, and organic soil. The performance of stone columns, is determined by the confining pressure provided by the surrounding soils. Engineering constructions built on thick layers of soft soil strata face issues such as limited bearing capacity, excessive total and differential settlement, lateral spreading, and so on. To address such issues, many ground improvement techniques are available. In exceptionally soft soils, the lateral confining pressure may be inadequate, resulting in column bulging failure. Individual stone column encasement improves lateral resistance to bulging by adding restricting pressure. This research focuses on the geotechnical aspects of building on closed landfill sites. A total of 33 models were tested in a geotechnical engineering laboratory on virgin former landfill soil and stone column with and without encasement in this current study. The increased diameter, length and L/D ratio of the column has demonstrated that the load capacity has increased and soil settling has decreased. When an unreinforced stone column has been installed, the ultimate bearing capacity of landfill soil is increased by 75-112.50 per cent and 87.50-176 per cent respectively, for 10mm and 20mm diameter stone column. Furthermore, when a fully reinforced stone column has been installed, it had increased by 156.25-212.50 per cent and 200-298 per cent for 10mm and 20mm diameters respectively. The stiffness of soil is increased by the stone column, which contributes to increase in the load capacity. The geogrid layer confines an aggregate, which contribute to enhance shear stiffness and bearing capacity.

The necessity for spam detection is particularly pertinent nowadays, as there is no quality control over social media, and users have the ability to distribute unverified material, therefore facilitating fraud and deceit. Spam detection can aid in the prevention of such fraud. This scenario has developed mostly as a result of the distribution of disparate, unconfirmed information via shopping websites, emails, and text messages (SMS). There are several ways of categorising and identifying spam. Each of them has certain advantages and disadvantages. The machine learning model “Support Vector Machine” is employed to detect spam in this case. SVM is a basic concept: the method proposes a line or hyperplane to classify the data. The model can categorise any type of text into a given category after being fed a set of labelled training data for each category.
Eurocentrismo e redução da crítica ao plano simbólico
Authors: Silva Felipe Montiel da , Ohlweiler Leonel Pires , De Carvalho Júlia Dutra
Published: August 2021

O estudo investiga como o eurocentrismo estimula que a crítica decolonial aos conflitos sócio-raciais seja reduzida ao plano simbólico. Para alcançar o objetivo a investigação adotou a interdisciplinaridade como método, utilizando delineamento bibliográfico para coleta de dados. Os resultados indicam que os genocídios perpetrados ao longo da colonial-modernidade constituíram a Europa e a centralidade euro-ocidental, permitindo que as suas simbolizações sobre a realidade não fossem consideradas formas simbólicas específicas, mas, sim, abstratas e, portanto, universais de integração do real. O estudo concluiu que embora a crítica ao eurocentrismo seja capaz de identificar os genocídios/epistemicídios que o constituem, isto é, conclua que a centralidade da simbologia ocidental reside na força e não na sofisticação das suas representações sobre a realidade, é preciso que a teoria decolonial não apenas reivindique saberes insurgentes, mas legitime o uso revolucionário do padrão de força que garantiu a emergência e garante a reprodução do eurocentrismo.
Cenário de Pós-desenvolvimento: como se adaptar às crises decorrentes da Covid-19?
Authors: Papin Leal Helia Christina , Lyrio Mariana , Alfinito Solange
Published: August 2021

O contexto de pandemia de Covid-19 resulta em uma crise multidimensional – sanitária, econômica, política, social e ecológica – ressaltando a necessidade de observar a capacidade de adaptação do modelo vigente e as oportunidades de transição para um pós-desenvolvimento. Logo, propõe-se despertar uma reflexão sobre alternativas de pós-desenvolvimento frente ao contexto de pandemia. Aborda-se as crises ligadas à Covid-19 e três modelos – capitalismo, desenvolvimento sustentável e decrescimento – para embasar a análise dos cenários de pós-desenvolvimento. Observou-se que o capitalismo, sistema baseado no ideal de crescimento, é seriamente vulnerável à recessão engendrada pela crise multidimensional. No tocante do desenvolvimento sustentável notou-se um paradoxo entre a restrição de recursos naturais e o aumento do crescimento econômico. Conclui-se que, face aos imperativos ecológicos e à deficiência do sistema atual para suprir necessidades básicas coletivas, o modelo de decrescimento propõe ser, comparativamente, uma alternativa de pós-desenvolvimento resiliente às crises social, sanitária, econômica e ecológica.

Objetivo: Nosso objetivo foi desenvolver e validar testes para avaliação da velocidade e agilidade de jogadores de voleibol sentado. Método: A criação foi baseada nas características da modalidade (deslocamento sentado com três apoios e utilização dos braços e do quadril). A investigação teve três fases de análise: a) avaliação por experts; b) objetividade e reprodutibilidade teste-reteste (sete dias); e c) validade discriminante. Fase 1: cinco experts assistiram a vídeos de jogadores executando os testes e responderam um formulário baseado em escalaLikert de cinco pontos. Fase 2: seis jogadores experientes executaram os testes e foram avaliados por três pesquisadores independentes, em um intervalo de sete dias. Fase 3: os atletas foram comparados a seis congêneres destreinados. Para objetividade foi usado o teste de Wilcoxon. Quanto à reprodutibilidade, optamospelo coeficiente de correlação intraclasse. Para a validade discriminante, consideramos o teste U-Mann Whitney. Observaram-se níveis excelentes de validade de conteúdo (ICV: 0,96). Resultados: Os três avaliadores apresentaram objetividade satisfatória para a velocidade (avaliador A: 4,20s; avaliador B: 3,96s; avaliador C: 3,98s; p=0,301) e para agilidade (avaliador A: 14,41s; avaliador B: 13,24; avaliador C: 13,52; p=0,134). A reprodutibilidade foi considerada excelente para a velocidade (CCI: 0,96; p<0.001) e agilidade (CCI: 0,79; p=0,052). Ao compararmos com um grupo destreinado, os jogadores apresentaram melhores resultados para a velocidade (3,72s contra 5,89s; p=0,002) e agilidade (12,78s contra 15,74s; p=0,002). Conclusão: Concluímosque os testes são válidos e sensíveis para controle, acompanhamento e avaliação de atletas da modalidade, sendo uma ferramenta viável para aplicação prática do treinamento esportivo. Palavras-chave: Pessoas com deficiência, esporte, treinamento esportivo.

El autoritarismo en la posguerra: un estudio de las actitudes de los salvadoreños
Authors: Cruz José Miguel
Published: August 2021

Este artículo aborda el tema de las actitudes autoritarias de los salvadoreños. Para ello, el autor echa mano de una encuesta de opinión pública, realizada por el IUDOP en octubre de 1998, y utiliza una serie de ítemes sobre diversos temas en una escala para mostrar que gran parte de los salvadoreños tienen fuertes actitudes autoritarias. Estas tendencias actitudinales parecen ser más fuertes en los sectores más desaventajados socialmente, y podrían estar ligadas a la percepción del problema de la inseguridad ciudadana más que a otro problema percibido de la realidad.

¿Cancelar el pasado? Tolerancia y oscurantismo en la sociedad mundial
Authors: Corominas Jordi
Published: August 2021

"La tolerancia", como todos los mejores ideales, fácilmente se convierte en una especie de ideología que oculta el desinterés, la apatía e incluso el abierto rechazo de los otros. A partir de un planteamiento de inspiración zubiriana, en discusión con las tesis hermenéuticas, hoy dominantes en el campo filosófico, el autor pretende fundamentar filosóficamente una tolerancia crítica muy diferente de la tolerancia por la que abogan la mayoría de los discursos al uso.

Authors:   ООО ", Saakian Alexander ,   БАЛАНС ПРОФИ"
Published: August 2021

In the conditions of the Central Chernozem region of Russia, an optimized technology for growing spring barley of the "Vakula" P4 variety was tested. Optimization of the technology was carried out according to the weed control element in five variants, depending on the use of herbicides: Puma Super (farm technology), Ballerina super (optimization), Prima (optimization), Ballerina forte (optimization), Lancelot (optimization). The conducted studies have shown that perennial and annual dicotyledonous weeds have a significant distribution in spring barley crops in the conditions of the Central Chernozem zone. Of these, according to the abundance indicators, white mar, medicinal dymyanka, white sandman, bindweed mountaineer, field yarutka, yellow osot, frankincense pickle predominates. A comparative analysis of optimization on the impact on plant productivity revealed that the most effective technologies for a wide range of weeds were technologies using herbicides Lancelot, Ballerina Super and Ballerina Forte. The highest barley yield of 34.4, 32.3 and 33.7 c/ha, respectively, was noted on these variants of technology application. Key words: SPRING BARLEY, HERBICIDES, CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY, OPTIMIZATION

Amaç: Dış ticaret, ülkelerin kaynaklarını daha verimli kullanmalarına olanak tanımaktadır. Bazı ülkeler aynı malı daha verimli, daha hızlı, daha düşük maliyetle üretebilmekte ve dış ticarette rekabet avantajı elde edebilmektedir. Dolayısıyla ülkelerin ekonomik performanslarının ölçülmesinde dış ticaret ve üretim ilişkisi önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışma, 2001:12-2019:05 dönemi Türkiye’de sanayi üretim endeksi ile dış ticaret arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı hedeflemektedir.

Yöntem: Çalışmada Türkiye’de 2001:12-2019:05 dönemi sanayi üretimi ile dış ticaret arasındaki ilişki Vektör Otoregresif Model (VAR) analizi ile incelenmiştir. Türkiye’de sanayi üretim endeksi ile dış ticaret ilişkisinin yönünü belirlemek ve değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini analiz etmek amacıyla Granger Nedensellik Testi, Etki-Tepki ve Varyans Ayrıştırma Analizi kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Türkiye’de sanayi üretim endeksi ile dış ticaret arasında anlamlı ve önemli ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda sanayi üretim endeksi ile ithalat arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sanayi üretim endeksinden dış ticaret hacmine doğru ve dış ticaret dengesinden sanayi üretim endeksine doğru tek yönlü nedensellik söz konusudur.

Özgünlük: Türkiye’de sanayi üretimi ve dış ticaret dengesi konusunda çalışan karar vericilere destek olacak bir uygulamadır. Ayrıca, dış ticaret dengesi, dış ticaret hacmi, ihracat, ithalat ve uluslararası rezervler değişkenleri ile sanayi üretim endeksi arasındaki ilişkinin tek bir çalışmada yer alması literatüre
katkı sağlayacaktır.
Eye Disorders in Hindsight: The Rising Concerns of Myopia during COVID-19
Authors:   Lord Byng Secondary School, Nguyen Vicky
Published: August 2021

Frequent headaches while looking at digital screens. Squinting eyes to look at objects far away. Constant eye fatigue at work. These are all signs of myopia, or nearsightedness, one of the most common eye disorders in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the global rate of myopia increased from 22% to 33% from 2000 to 2020 (WHO, 2015). With the ubiquity of technology, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the world’s susceptibility for myopia is on the rise.

Recent headlines have championed the success of much of the developed world in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, but the fight is far from over. Although developed countries such as the U.S. can somewhat afford a return to normalcy, a lack of action in confronting the struggles of the developing world will come back to haunt us - and the evidence shows that it already is.
Phage Therapy: A Potential Solution for Antibiotic Resistance
Authors:   Unionville High School, Choudhary Chirag
Published: August 2021

The idea of using a virus to kill bacteria may seem counterintuitive, but it may be the future of treating bacterial infections. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most frightening biological agents were so-called “superbugs” – antibiotic resistant bacteria – which could not be treated with conventional therapeutics. When antibiotics were first developed, they were hailed as a panacea. A panacea they were not.
Datos preliminares sobre la abundancia relativa y caracterización del hábitat de Tayassu pecari (Artiodactyla: Tayassuidae) en los municipios del Medio Baudó y Cértegui en el Departamento del Chocó, Colombia
Authors: Palacios-Mosquera Leison , Parra Ibarguen Cateryne , Mantilla-Meluk Hugo
Published: August 2021

Con el fin de estimar la abundancia relativa de Tayassu pecari en el Chocó Central, un total de 16.4 km de transecto lineal fueron muestreados en los municipios Medio Baudó y Cértegui. Se documentaron 42 registros de presen- cia, resultando en una abundancia relativa de 3.0 individuos/km, con intervalos de confianza de 2.7 a 4.0 individuos/km. El área de estudio se caracterizó por su heterogeneidad en cobertura vegetal. Reportamos 42 especies arbóreas asociadas a los transectos analizados, de las cuales el 48% corresponden a especies en géneros previamente reportados en la dieta de T. pecari. Se destacan en número las palmas que suman el 20% de las especies registradas, con Socratea sp., sumando el 8.57% de los elementos arborescentes. La minería tecnificada y la expansión de la frontera agrícola de cultivos no tradicionales son identificados como los principales factores que amenazan la supervivencia y conservación del tatabro en la zona de estudio.

La región del Chocó Biogeográfico es reconocida como una de las más biodiversas del mundo; de ella hacen parte numerosos ecosistemas que albergan mi- llones de especies vegetales y animales. Algunos auto- res la han descrito como un área donde las condiciones privilegiadas de sol, agua, luz y aire, elementos esen- ciales para la vida están presentes en forma permanen- teyexhuberante;peroademás,esunaregiónaislada del resto de las tierras bajas de Suramérica por la cordillera de los Andes, lo que genera un gran número de endemismos, en especies de plantas, mariposas y aves, de ahí que aproximadamente 25% de las espe- cies que allí habitan no se encuentran en ningún otro lugar del planeta.
Determinación de la contaminación mercurial en personas vinculadas con la minería de oro en el Distrito Minero del San Juan, departamento del Chocó, Colombia

Published: August 2021

Se analizaron los resultados de la evaluación de niveles de contaminación mercurial, realizadas en personas vinculadas en la cadena de minería de oro en el Distrito Minero del San Juan, departamento del Chocó. Se buscó evaluar riesgos potenciales en la salud asociados con la actividad minera, especial- mente aquellos generados por la inadecuada manipulación del mercurio en procesos de amalgamación. Se empleó una valoración médica y toxicológica realizada a 87 personas, identificadas en 10 municipios; a 70 de ellos se les determinaron trazas de mercurio presentes en cabellos, orina, y sangre. El metodo de análisis de las muestras de orina y sangre fue el de combustión directa y para el análisis de las muestras de cabello fue el método de absorción atómica. La escogencia de estas personas respondió a los siguientes criterios: presentación de enfermedades, vulnerabilidad generada por la frecuencia de exposición y manipulación directa del mercurio, y por residencia en áreas altamente presionadas por la actividad minera. Como resultado se obtuvo que 56 de las 70 personas analizadas están contaminadas con mercurio, cuatro con diagnósticos de intoxicación mercurial, una reportó intoxicación crónica y solo 9 de los 70 pacientes, no se les detectaron niveles de mercurio en ninguna de las tres muestras analizadas. Se concluyó que el uso del mercurio en la extracción, beneficio y comercialización del oro se constituye en un gran riesgo para la salud de las personas vinculadas con la minería en el Distrito Minero del San Juan.
