Authors: Agudelo Varela Oscar , Bonilla Morales Miguel Macgayver , Aguirre Morales Adriana Carolina
Published: August 2018

Las aplicaciones pedagógicas tradicionales se fundamentan en el desarrollo de la clase con marcador y tablero, y con leves avances en el manejo de diapositivas; sin embargo, las tecnologías digitales presentan una serie de novedades que complementan el trabajo de la enseñanza con aprendizaje autónomo, que puede desarrollar el educando en áreas agrarias y ambientales. El desarrollo de material didáctico multimedia MDM complementa las actividades curriculares de los cursos, particularmente, los que tienen laboratorio, y por otro lado, generan en el estudiante habilidades para el aprendizaje autónomo. Se desarrolló un MDM para el aprendizaje de las prácticas realizadas en el laboratorio de cultivos vegetales, con arquitectura cliente/ servidor, usando tecnologías actuales en el desarrollo de software, con características de tiempo real y bajo el paradigma de desarrollo de aplicaciones isomórficas. Con base al MDM, se realizó evaluación cualitativa por parte de estudiantes de Licenciatura en Producción Agropecuaria, la cual reporto un 86% de aprobación del material. Se encontró que las herramientas digitales para el aprendizaje, facilitan y mejoran en cierta medida el aprendizaje de los educandos. El uso de tecnologías nuevas como React, permite mejorar el renderizado de las páginas y optimiza la carga del servidor en las peticiones necesarias por parte del aprendiz, y hace más eficiente el engranaje de enseñanza-aprendizaje. De esta manera, el MDM permitirá fundamentar el desarrollo de habilidades y destrezas en la producción agraria y en el manejo de especies de ecosistemas con ambientes naturales.

La academia en el pacto intersectorial por la madera legal en Colombia
Authors: Díaz Santamaría William Ricardo
Published: August 2018

La vinculación de la academia al Pacto Intersectorial por la Madera Legal en Colombia y a los diversos Acuerdos Regionales, posibilita la incorporación de acciones puntuales enmarcadas en la investigación, la formación y la proyección social y comunitaria, que propendan por asegurar que la madera que se extrae, aprovecha, transforma, transporta, comercializa y usa en el país, provenga de fuentes legales. Aunque se reconoce la importancia en la formación académica de los profesionales del sector forestal y agroforestal, la incorporación de instituciones educativas que ofertan programas técnicos, tecnológicos y profesionales al Pacto y a los acuerdos regionales ha sido paulatina. Se genera por lo tanto un camino para afrontar las dinámicas en el sector forestal, la identificación de escenarios factibles para la búsqueda de alternativas productivas en las áreas boscosas del territorio nacional bajo la óptica de la legalidad, el reconocimiento de potencialidades de desarrollo y de conservación en las comunidades que viven en y del bosque, acompañados por los procesos formativos y académicos que deben generarse desde las instituciones educativas.  Los compromisos de la academia están enmarcados en acciones para la divulgación y sensibilización en temas de legalidad forestal, la participación en iniciativas que propendan por la sostenibilidad del recurso, y la realización de acciones de orden investigativo y formativo de profesionales y de la comunidad directamente afectada por el tráfico de especies forestales.

Association between maxillary lateral incisors' root volume and palatally displaced canines: An instrumental variables approach to the guidance theory
Authors: Bertl Michael H. , Foltin Andrea , Lettner Stefan , Giannis Katharina , Gahleitner André , Bantleon Hans-Peter , Strbac Georg D.
Published: August 2018

Objectives:

To evaluate association and causation between maxillary lateral incisors' (MxI2) apical root volume (ARV) and palatally displaced canines (PDC).

Materials and Methods:

In a retrospective cross-sectional study, computed tomography scans of 179 patients with unilateral PDC were analyzed. MxI2 root length and volume on the impaction and eruption side were measured. A mixed logit model was used to infer the association between ARV and PDC and an instrumental variables approach to interpret causality.

Results:

MxI2 root length on the impaction side was shorter in 42%, equal in 33% and longer in 25% of the patients. ARV amounted for 13.5% of total root volume on the impaction and 14.9% on the eruption side. Reduced ARV was significantly associated with the impaction side (P < .001). The causal effect of ARV on PDC in the instrumental variable approach amounted to less than half of the association in a standard noncausal approach.

Conclusions:

An association between PDC and reduced MxI2 root length and volume was confirmed. However, the lack of causality did not allow the researchers to draw a conclusion as to whether a reduced ARV is causing PDC or resulting from it; this should be considered in etiologic theories.

AMPK is a cellular gauge that is activated under conditions of low energy, increasing energy production and reducing energy waste. Current evidence links hypothalamic AMPK with the central regulation of energy balance. However, it is unclear whether targeting hypothalamic AMPK has beneficial effects in obesity. Here, we show that genetic inhibition of AMPK in the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH) protects against high-fat diet (HFD)–induced obesity by increasing brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and subsequently energy expenditure. Notably, this effect depends upon the AMPKα1 isoform in steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) neurons of the VMH, since mice bearing selective ablation of AMPKα1 in SF1 neurons display resistance to diet-induced obesity, increased BAT thermogenesis, browning of white adipose tissue, and improved glucose and lipid homeostasis. Overall, our findings point to hypothalamic AMPK in specific neuronal populations as a potential druggable target for the treatment of obesity and associated metabolic disorders.
Extending Remission and Reversing New-Onset Type 1 Diabetes by Targeted Ablation of Autoreactive T Cells

Published: August 2018

Preserving endogenous insulin production is clinically advantageous and remains a vital unmet challenge in the treatment and reversal of type 1 diabetes. Although broad immunosuppression has had limited success in prolonging the so-called remission period, it comes at the cost of compromising beneficial immunity. Here, we used a novel strategy to specifically deplete the activated diabetogenic T cells that drive pathogenesis while preserving not only endogenous insulin production but also protective immunity. Effector T (Teff) cells, such as diabetogenic T cells, are naturally poised on the edge of apoptosis because of activation-induced DNA damage that stresses the p53 regulation of the cell cycle. We have found that using small molecular inhibitors that further potentiate p53 while inhibiting the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint control drives apoptosis of activated T cells in vivo. When delivered at the onset of disease, these inhibitors significantly reduce diabetogenic Teff cells, prolong remission, preserve functional islets, and protect islet allografts while leaving naive, memory, and regulatory T-cell populations functionally untouched. Thus, the targeted manipulation of p53 and cell cycle checkpoints represents a new therapeutic modality for the preservation of islet β-cells in new-onset type 1 diabetes or after islet transplant.

Peirce e o crescimento da razoabilidade concreta: investigando uma relação entre ética e a realidade de Deus
Authors: Silva Flávio Augusto Queiroz
Published: August 2018

Na obra do cientista e lógico Charles S. Peirce (1839 – 1914), chama-nos atenção a ideia de uma “realidade de Deus”. Para entendê-la, propomos investigar os enlaces entre a Metafísica e a Ética do autor. Através do conceito de “crescimento da razoabilidade concreta” – profundamente organizador desta filosofia – veremos que o propósito da ação humana radica em contribuir com a expansão da Razão no mundo, o summum bonum que acaba por ser também ideia norteadora para a realidade de Deus. O pragmaticismo pode, assim, abarcar um teísmo fundamentado em um realismo radical. Totalmente desvinculado de doutrinas dogmáticas, o Deus visionado por Peirce continua a criar o Universo, em um processo que tem um fim ideal, mas não determinativo. Tal processo pode contar com a contribuição da ação humana, por isto a importância de se discutir os temas da Ética tais como a liberdade e o autocontrole, sem o apoio de uma cartilha determinada de ações a tomar. A Ética peirciana baseia-se no bom raciocínio e no alinhamento com o admirável – poder atrativo que “governa sobre os outros com seu cetro, conhecimento, e seu globo, amor” (CP 5.520, 1905). Não por acaso, como pretendemos demonstrar neste trabalho, a ação de Deus sobre o cosmos tem exatamente o mesmo caráter. Portanto não deveria ser estranho, para um estudioso de Peirce, aceitar o convite de subir no “bote do musement” e imaginar que os conceitos da Ética, que valem para a vida cotidiana ou o labor científico, se interpenetram com a realidade de Deus.
Investigações sobre o conceito de metáfora
Authors: Gonçalves Daniel Luis Cidade
Published: August 2018

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar e aprofundar a compreensão do conceito de metáfora, tal como ele é elaborado pelo filósofo norte-americano Richard Rorty e explorar sua importância para a filosofia. A metáfora é entendida aqui como uma fonte de crenças que compreende a linguagem como inserida em um domínio infinito de possibilidades, uma vez que consiste em algo que vem do exterior de nosso espaço lógico. Segundo Rorty, todos os seres humanos possuem um conjunto de palavras que podem ser utilizados para justificar suas convicções, todavia, quando uma dúvida é lançada sobre o valor destas palavras, seu usuário dispõe apenas de recursos argumentativos circulares para defender tal valor. Metáforas seriam então ruídos desconhecidos, que não possuem qualquer sistema ou estrutura que as liguem com o convencional. Elas residem no limiar da tradição e daquilo que ainda não foi pensado, são surpresas inesperadas. Seu propósito é nos libertar da linguagem que usamos atualmente. Os termos com que justificamos nossas convicções atuais estão fadados à obsolência e o progresso pode ser compreendido como um processo de literalização de metáforas que nos permita mudar o modo como falamos e concebemos o mundo. Comparamos diferentes vocabulários, descartando os que nos parecem ruins e mantendo os que nos parecem desejáveis. Para isso, o estímulo de encontros livres e francos é indispensável.

Kebijakan pemerintah mengenai pengampunan pajak (tax amnesty), telah memunculkan kontroÂ­versi di masyarakat. Dalam waktu sebulan sejak pemberlakuannya, Undang-Undang PengampuÂ­nan Pajak telah dimohonkan judicial review ke Mahkamah Konstitusi sebanyak empat kali, namun tidak ada satupun permohonan yang dikabulkan. Penelitian ini menjelaskan bagaimana konsepsi lahirnya kebijakan pengampunan pajak, yang kemudian dianalisis menurut teori Economic Analysis of Law. Metodologi yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan teoritis, yaitu dengan memaparkan konsepsi lahirnya kebijakan pengampunan pajak berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan teori hukum. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa lahirnya kebijakan pengampunan pajak dimaksudkan untuk mengoptimalkan penerimaan negara dan meningkatkan pertumbuhan perekonomian, dengan cara membebaskan wajib pajak dari kewaÂ­jiban membayar pajak yang terutang beserta sanksi denda dan sanksi pidana, apabila wajib pajak tersebut mau mengungkapkan hartanya dan membayar uang tebusan sebagaimana yang ditetapkan dalam Undang-Undang Pengampunan Pajak. Kebijakan pengampunan pajak merupakan pilihan terbaik saat itu untuk mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan oleh pemerintah, dan solusi yang paling menguntungkan bagi semua pihak, sesuai dengan konsep dasar teori Economic Analysis of Law, yaitu maksimalisasi, keseimbangan, dan efisiensi

The aims of this research to analyze the assessment of intensification on rural and urban land and building tax (PBB P2) in Tulungagung Regency in order to increase PBB P2 revenue through Davey Analysis based on four criteria of local tax assessment, namely: sufficiency and elasticity, justice, administrative ability, and influence of incentive. This research is classified as descriptive research through qualitative approach. Data analysis used interactive models by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana (2014). The research result based on empirical data, theoretical study, and normative study showed that intensification in the forms of technical guidance and SISMIOP data base maintenance are give negative implication on administrative ability assessment due to lack of quality and quantity of human resources. While, monitoring and delivery of SPPT can give positive implication on judgment of justice. Then, presence of socialization on regional regulation and reward giving and sanction imposition, are give positive implication on assessment of elasticity and influence of incentive.

Quality control is always carried out by manufacturing companies for the creation of zero defects. Lever Assy Parking Brake is part of the cars spare parts produced by manufacturing company X and must have a zero defect product quality level. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of product defect using the Statistical Quality Control (SQC) method. Data was carried out with process control procedures. This study showed that the product defect rate of Lever Assy Parking Brake with Statistical Quality Control (SQC) method in March 2018 was very large. As seen from the 22 data production processes, 13 production process data (59 percent) were out-of-control but still fell within the specification limit of 9 ± 0.5 mm. Meanwhile, only 9 data production processes (41 percent) were in control. So there is a need to analyze causes and corrective actions. R control chart shows the process that has been stable or under control has a UCL (Upper Control Limit) value of 0.21, the LCL (Lower Control Limit) value of 0 and a value of CL (central line) of 0.10. Whereas 𝑥̅ chart shows the control limit with UCL value of 9.39, LCL value is 9.27 and CL value is 9.33.

Published: August 2018

Children from disadvantaged backgrounds often experience high levels of traumatic stress from multiple sources, however, little is known about their experiences and the responses of their teachers following disasters. The aim of this study was to examine, from the perspective of teachers, the impact of a critical community-wide traumatic event on student and staff wellbeing, student learning and teaching practices at a specialist school for disadvantaged and displaced youth in Australia. Eight school staff were interviewed, including administrative, teaching and support personnel, with their responses interpreted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Results focused largely on the impact of the event and the resultant relocation of the school, on staff and student health, reduced opportunities for learning, changes to teaching and student engagement, and the strengths and limitations of the trauma-informed approach of the school. Implications for teacher education and school trauma-informed models are discussed.
Response to vocal music in Angelman syndrome contrasts with Prader-Willi syndrome
Authors: Kotler Jennifer , Mehr Samuel A , Egner Alena , Haig David , Krasnow Max
Published: August 2018

Parent-offspring conflict, or the conflict over resources between parents and their children due to differences in genetic relatedness, is the biological foundation for a variety of psychological phenomena, including sibling rivalry and child abuse. This form of conflict is particularly relevant to the domain of parental investment: the provisioning of resources to offspring by parents and alloparents. The kinship theory of genomic imprinting is the primary evolutionary explanation for the occurrence of specialized genetic expression in chromosomal domains relevant to phenotypic expression of parent-offspring conflict. Specifically, complementary parental contributions in the same region of the genome promote opposing parental demand behaviors. This theory predicts that people with genomic imprinting disorders will show alterations in traits and behaviors related to parental investment. In this paper, we apply this prediction to the psychological resource of parental attention, for which vocalizations in general, and music in particular, may be an honest signal. Individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome show increased physiological responses to music listening consistent with a reduced demand for parental investment. Here we report the complementary pattern necessary to support the theory: we find that individuals with Angelman syndrome demonstrate a relatively reduced physiological response to music, consistent with an increased demand for parental investment. In addition to presenting evidence of the value of applying the kinship theory of genomic imprinting to psychological phenomena, these data provide a comprehensive test of the theory that at least one aspect of human musical psychology evolved to mediate conflict over attentional demands between parents and offspring.

The housing stock has been in poor condition for decades, but despite this, the authorities do not take any significant steps to improve the state of the industry. At the moment, many apartment owners encounter a lot of problems when creating condominiums. In order to maintain the full functioning of a residential building where residents are not interested in self-management, a mechanism for managing such types of buildings is necessary. Having analyzed the latest laws in the sphere of housing and communal services, we can conclude that, despite the issuance of laws, the legal way of their implementation is still absent. It is also worth noting that, in our opinion, the transfer of all communal ownership buildings to the ownership of the inhabitants will not give the desired result. The absence of qualified management companies can lead to even more depreciation of the housing stock, which at the moment is in a large proportion already in a worn condition. Lack of legal regulation of housing stock management by private management companies may lead to non-compliance with state standards in the field of repair and maintenance of residential engineering networks. This can lead to accidents, the consequences of which can be not only unpleasant for the inhabitants, but also life threatening. For example, untimely checking of the smoke and ventilation ducts in the building often leads to their litter and poor ventilation of living quarters, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, gas equipment explosion, etc. Lack of rational institutional regulation of management companies can also lead to abuse of office, deception of residents and theft of personal funds. Legislation in its present form does not meet the requirements of the European state, the need for the development of market relations in local markets. A detailed analysis of legislative acts aimed at reforming housing and communal services was carried out. Regulations that need to be finalized by profile committees of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are separated. The prices for management of communal dwelling houses, divided by their composition and with the indication of the necessary quantity, and the size of the price for management of a dwelling house divided by the structural parts of the proposed price, are structured.

The article deals with the prospects of the development of ecological tourism in the Odessa region. The definition of "ecological tourism" is given, the practice of development of ecological tourism in different countries of the world and regions of Ukraine is analyzed. The purposes of development of ecological tourism are substantiated. The natural and natural reserve potential of the Odessa region is analyzed, potential environmental risks associated with the development of ecological tourism in the region are estimated. An analysis of trends in the development of ecological tourism as a separate activity in different regions of Ukraine and as an auxiliary in rural (green) tourism is conducted.Obstacles to the development of environmental tourism in the region are: lack of proper legal support for the development of this type of tourism; lack of a mechanism for rational and ecologically balanced use of the natural, historical and cultural potential of the region for tourism needs; absence of objects of the nature reserve fund of the highest category of the heritage, which minimizes the development of tourism; insufficient number of developed eco-routes within the oblast.Necessary development of legislative and normative base in relation to the order of exposure, estimation, taking of inventory of resources suitable for to eco-tourism, their passport systems, registrations, determinations of the legal mode of tourist resources and marking of resources, their monitoring on conforming to the normative requirements. Needs the improvement of mechanisms of backuping of earth under a next testament through making alteration in Law of Ukraine "On the naturally-protected fund of Ukraine". In the legislative order it is necessary to fix a requirement in relation to the reflection of limits of the earth reserved under a next testament in plan-building and town-planning documentation that will need making alteration to Laws of Ukraine "On planning and building of territories", "About the General chart of planning of territory of Ukraine. Regulatory, managerial and economic measures aimed at further development of ecological tourism in the region are offered.

Published: August 2018

Background: Fresh loquat leaves contain several kinds of flavonoids and have been reported to have preventive effects against some human diseases such as diabetes, coughs and ulcers,. Recently, fresh loquat leaves in Japan were processed to a beverage, called loquat tea, after the fresh leaves are roasted at 350C for 30 minutes. However, the scientific evidence supporting the functions of these processed leaves is still minimal.Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of roasted loquat tea extract (LTE) in vitro and in culture cells.Methods: Bioactive fractions of LTE were separated by column chromatograph. Antioxidant activities were determined by DPPH and ROS assay. Pro-inflammatory mediators cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were determined by Western blot and ELISA assay, respectively. Chemical quantification and characterization were analyzed by HPLC, FR-IR, and NMR. Phenolic content was measured by Folin-Ciocalteu assay.Results: The results showed that loquat tea extract (LTE) possessed stronger DPPH scavenging activity than fresh. Cellular data revealed that LTE inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and further suppressed the production of COX-2 and PGE2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Chemical quantification and characterization data indicated that LTE contained new bioactive phenolic components that were produced from the roasting processes of fresh loquat leaves.Conclusions: Loquat tea made from roasted loquat leaves contained new bioactive phenolic compounds that contribute to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.Keywords: Loquat tea, Antioxidant activity, Anti-inflammatory activity, Chemical characterization

Published: August 2018

Background: The efficacy of an extract from date seeds has been tested successfully on the glycemic control of type I diabetes mellitus in rats. A suggestion that date seed extract could stimulate certain cells to differentiate into insulin-secreting cells has been proposed. In order to investigate such a possibility, this study was conducted to measure C-peptide levels in the serum of type 1 diabetic rats treated with date seed extract.Methods: Two hundred rats were divided into 4 groups. Group I served as the control. Group II was given daily ingestions of 10 ml of date seed extract. Groups III and IV were made diabetic by streptozotocin injection and were given daily subcutaneous injections of 3 IU/day of insulin for 8 weeks. Group IV received, in addition, daily ingestions of 10 ml of seed extract. At the end of experiment, blood samples were collected from each rat, and blood glucose and serum C-peptide levels were measured.Results: No significant differences in the means of blood glucose and serum C-peptide levels were observed between groups I (control group) and II (date seed extract-treated control group). Group IV (date seed extract-insulin-treated diabetic group) showed a statistically significant reduction in the mean blood glucose level compared to Group III (insulin-treated diabetic group). The mean serum C-peptide level was significantly higher in group IV compared to group III.Conclusion: Biochemical results suggested an increase in endogenous insulin secretion in the case of type 1 diabetic rats treated with date seed extract, which might be the cause of its hypoglycemic effect.Keywords: Date seed extract; type 1 diabetes; serum C-peptide

Background: In recent years, a new everbearing strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ was cultivated to supply the strawberries in pre-harvest season from July to October in Japan. For highly research and development of processing of this cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries, the objective of this study was to characterize these berries, with relation to chemical parameters, total phenols, total flavonoids, total vitamin C, and total anthocyanins, and was to investigate the solubility and the stability of anthocyanins from the berries. Moreover, the functional properties such as antioxidative activity, active oxygen species scavenging activity, and antihypertensive activity were also evaluated.Methods: Chemical analysis, colour measurement, and sensory evaluation of new everbearing strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries were performed. Next, the solubility of anthocyanins from the berries and stability of these against pH, temperature, and an incandescent lighting were investigated. Moreover, functional properties of the extracts prepared from berries were elucidated using 5 different methods.Results: The contents of water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and ash were the same as those of other cultivar berries. The sugar-acid ratio in the berries was low; these were acidulous. By sensory evaluation, the main factors were vivid red colour, aroma, and acidity. The berries were rich in phenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, and anthocyanins. The anthocyanins of the berries became unstable by heat treatment and light exposures such as visible rays. On the other hand, the extracts prepared from the berries showed the functionalities such as antioxidant activity, active oxygen species scavenging activities, and antihypertensive activity.  Conclusions: The strawberry cultivar, ‘Summertiara’ berries were the most suitable for processing ingredient of strawberry-derived products with superior health promoting functionalities.Keywords: Summertiara, everbearing strawberry cultivar, characterization, sensory evaluation, color and storage, functional property
