الرئاسة الثنائية في كنيسة المشرق قبل الاسلام دراسة في أوضاع كنيسة العراق خلال حقبة الانشقاق والفوضى (523-539م)
Authors: Abbas Othman Fadhel
Published: January 2023

تتناول هذه الدراسة أحداث الانقسام والرئاسة المزدوجة في كنيسة المشرق السريانية خلال الفترة ما بين (523-539م) والتنافس القائم بين الجاثليقين نرساي واليشاع  على الرئاسة وأبرز التطورات التي مرت بها الكنيسة أثناء ذلك ، إذ إن كنيسة المشرق واجهت مشكلة كبيرة نتيجة انقسام رجال الدين النصارى على أنفسهم في تأييد أحد الجاثليقين ، فقد أدت المصالح الشخصية دورها في تأجيج أحداث هذا النزاع وبقي النزاع قائماً إلى أن توفي نرساي ومحاولة اليشاع الاستحواذ على الرئاسة ولكن تدخل الدولة الساسانية المتمثلة بالملك كسرى انوشيروان حال دون وقوع ذلك إذ تم عزل اليشاع لسوء سيرته مع النصارى واعتزال جماعته عنه فتم ترسيم بولس بتأييد الملك كسرى انوشيروان وانتهت الرئاسة الثنائية وتمت اعادة الوحدة للكنيسة ولكن اثار النزاع بقيت قائمة لقصر فترة رئاسة بولس ، كما إن فترة الرئاسة الثنائية كانت طويلة بما يقارب خمسة عشر عاماً كرس الطرفان جذور الانقسام بين ابرشيات الكنيسة وحتى بين عامة النصارى الى ان جاء الجاثليق مار آبا الكبير وازال اثار الرئاسة الثنائية.
المقتربات بين التاريخ والعلوم الإنسانية
Authors: Mohammed Ali Jassim
Published: January 2023

يرتبط علم التاريخ بالعلوم الاجتماعية والإنسانية ارتباطا وثيقاً، من خلال تداخل العلوم الإنسانية مع بعضها في موضوعاتها وحيثياتها ونتائجها أحياناً، وعلى الرغم من استقلال التخصصات الإنسانية، إلا إن ذلك يُراد منه التنظيم الأكاديمي، ولا يلغي حاجة كل تخصص للأخر، لأن التكامل بين التاريخ والعلوم المساعدة له يحقق الوصول الى الغاية العليا في التخصص وهي إظهار الحقائق، ومعرفة الأحوال الماضية، والوقوف على المتغيرات السالفة، وبالتالي تكون الدراسات التاريخية قد فتحت أفاقا واسعة للقادة والملوك والرؤساء وعامة الناس لتجنب أخطاء الأقدمين، ومن ثم التأسي به للمُضي قدماً نحو حاضر ومستقبل أفضل، وبذلك تتحقق خدمة المجتمع، ويأتي علم الجغرافيا وعلم الاقتصاد والعلوم السياسية وعلم الاجتماع واللغات في مقدمة العلوم الإنسانية التي تدخل في صميم علم التاريخ من جهة، أو تدخل معه كعلوم مساعدة من جهة أخرى .

Spherically Constrained Relative Motion Trajectories in Low Earth Orbit
Authors: Woodford Nathaniel T. , Harris Matthew W. , Petersen Christoper D.
Published: January 2023

This paper considers a satellite inspection mission where the deputy satellite is required to remain a fixed distance away from the chief satellite. This constraint on the deputy’s state is modeled as the surface of a sphere. Finding minimum energy solutions to travel from one point to another point on the sphere requires solving a nonconvex optimal control problem. Various novel suboptimal algorithms are proposed that can guarantee a feasible solution. These algorithms are benchmarked by optimal values obtained via a global continuation method, and their computational performance is analyzed in a statistical setting.

The (Ab)Use of Empathy in Kopano Matlwa’s Period Pain
Authors: Dlamini Nonhlanhla
Published: January 2023

Empathy and intimate exposure(s) that interweave micro relations with macro politics are literary tropes used in narrating and navigating postapartheid social formation and reimaging alternative ways of relationality that seek to normalise freedom(s). Bystrom and Coetzee use these reading practices to examine how contemporary artists yoke domesticity with national politics to discursively deconstruct narratives of (un)belonging that frame immigrant lived experiences in South Africa. This article seeks to extend the conversations further by examining how Kopano Matlwa’s Period Pain (2017) interweaves female menstrual blood with precarity, intimate exposure and lack of empathy or intergroup biases to critique the (mis)use of narratives of black pain that deploy the language of apartheid to justify negrophobia and a growing anti-illegal foreigner sentiment in South Africa. This paper suggests that the use of anger, tropes of a South African black pain and its embodiment, and (anti)racist discourses impede the formation of an imagined, inclusive postapartheid South Africa. It concludes that Matlwa’s text suggests that a sense of a distinctly black South African identity which is limited to itself, yet hinged on a darker side of empathy, silences the Other’s modes of self-narration that seek to counter widely circulated narratives of queerness, lack and destitution that are used to cast the foreigner in the public imaginary. Consequently, the foreigner is coerced to mimic popularised discourses on race and gendered relations, thus recirculating and recycling discourses that embolden toxic masculinities and femininities in private and public cultures.
Adolescent Self-Efficacy in Relation to Illness Perception and Treatment Compliance: An Inpatient Study
Authors: George Ancel Andrew , Franken Anneke Louise
Published: January 2023

Non-compliance with psychotropic treatment appears to be a growing problem among adolescent mental healthcare users. Treatment is frequently initiated during hospitalisation periods; however, at discharge a change in the primary administrator of the treatment poses a risk that the discharged patient may become non-compliant. In this study, we investigate factors influencing psychotropic treatment compliance of adolescent inpatients admitted to a psychiatric facility. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, survey-type research design was employed. Approximately 170 participants were selected through a non-probability convenience sampling method. The data were gathered using self-reporting measures, namely the Drug Attitude Inventory, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire and the Decision Self-Efficacy Scale. The data were analysed using a Pearson product–moment correlation coefficient and a moderated hierarchical regression analysis. The results indicated a significant relationship between illness perception and self-efficacy where self-efficacy was identified as a moderator between illness perception and treatment compliance of male adolescent inpatients. The findings of the study and the gender differences which surfaced may contribute to a better understanding of the intricate processes related to treatment compliance in adolescents. These findings may help to direct intervention aimed at promoting treatment compliance.
Mental Health and Injury Outcomes in Liberia, 1990–2017: An Ecological Systems Analysis
Authors: Rastegar Pedram J. , Chenoweth Francien , Schwebel David C.
Published: January 2023

Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological model of human development is widely used to explain health outcomes, but most research focuses on the more immediate microsystem influences. Over the last 30 years, Liberia has experienced two civil wars, government regime changes, and an Ebola outbreak. We considered associations between those macrosystem and chronosystem shifts in Liberia on four public health outcomes from 1990 to 2017: suicide, depression, sexual violence, and substance use disorders. We conducted separate analyses for women and men. The results indicated substantial changes in health that coincided with macrosystem and chronosystem changes in Liberia. Men’s suicide rates increased during wartime and decreased afterwards, especially during the stable Sirleaf presidency. Both men and women experienced decreasing depression rates during the First Civil War. Depression rates for both men and women flattened during the stable Sirleaf presidency and increased during the Ebola outbreak. The rate of sexual violence was high for both genders during wartime and economic turmoil but declined markedly, especially among women, during the Sirleaf presidency, when government policies were enacted to reduce sexual violence. Substance use disorders were highest during times of economic stability and growth. Men experienced higher rates of suicide and substance use and lower rates of depression and sexual violence compared to women at all times. Consistent with Bronfenbrenner’s model, the results indicate how macrosystem and chronosystem shifts coincided with changes in individual-level mental health and injury outcome trends. We recommend macrosystem-level changes to prevent violence and increase mental health services, both in Liberia and globally.
Energy Poverty, Burns and Health Risks in the Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria
Authors: Abu Owapiriba Prayer , Orisa-Couple Amba Mariam
Published: January 2023

In the study, we examined the link between energy poverty and burns incidents among low-income suburban residents in the Port Harcourt Metropolis in Nigeria. Energy poverty manifests in many ways in low-income suburban areas. This includes frequent power outages, scarcity, the high cost of petroleum products and electricity, and the use of cooking systems devoid of energy efficiency. The residents respond to these challenges in ways that compromise their health and safety, resulting in preventable morbidity and mortality. In the study, we undertook a retrospective review of patients at the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital Burns Centre. Burns incidents and fatalities from 2015 to 2021 were analysed with a focus on age, mortality, gender, causes of the injury and areas of residence. The results revealed that about 177 cases (48%) were caused by kerosene explosion. Flames from the ignition of fuel stored at home for power generating sets and from artisanal oil refining sites accounted for 113 cases (17%). Flames from candles for lighting during periods of power outages comprised 24 cases (4%). Fire caused by electricity constituted 28 cases (4%). Gas explosions caused by ignorance and poor housing conditions accounted for 177 cases (27%). The mortality coefficient of burns of 0.5 implies that at least five deaths resulted from every 10 cases of burns recorded in the hospital. In the study, we recommend that government implement policy on energy access and equitable distribution more vigorously to enable poor households to meet their energy needs in relatively safe and less risky ways.
Pedestrian Neglect of Highway Footbridges and Safety Countermeasures: A Case Study from Ghana
Authors: Alimo Philip Kofi , Agyeman Stephen
Published: January 2023

In Africa, pedestrian deaths count for the majority of road traffic deaths, mainly resulting from bad crossing habits, including the neglect of footbridges. However, pedestrian behaviour remains understudied in Africa. In this article, we investigate the reasons for the non-use of footbridges along a major highway in Accra, Ghana, and test possible interventions. Using an intercept survey, we sampled 320 pedestrian violators by means of a questionnaire and structured interviews. Two decision trees were analysed using the chi-squared automatic interaction detection algorithm. The results indicated that men and students are more likely to disregard footbridges compared to other pedestrians. The length of the footbridge was cited as the main reason for non-compliance at designated crossings. Nonetheless, 93% of the respondents showed intentions to use the footbridges premised on some interventions. Pedestrian safety would be improved if shorter access points, adequate lighting and visibility are provided for footbridges and other road-crossing facilities. In this study, we propose countermeasures and reinforce the need for engineers and urban planners to carefully consider human behaviour in the design of urban road infrastructure.
Üniversiteler Birbirine Sosyal, Kurumsal ve Bilişsel Olarak Ne Kadar Yakındır? TÜBİTAK Proje İşbirlikleri Üzerinden Bir Analiz
Authors: UNUTULMAZ Sevim
Published: January 2023

Bilimde işbirliği uzun zamandır süre gelmektedir. Bilim insanları arasındaki işbirliği, artan işbölümünün bir sonucu olarak değerlendirilebilir. İşbirliğini artırmaya yönelik geliştirilen politikaların çoğu, yakınlık faktörlerinin işbirliği düzeyi üzerindeki etkilerini hesaba katacak şekilde tasarlanmamıştır. Bilimsel işbirliğini geniş bir alanda teşvik etmeyi amaçlayan politika tasarımcıları yakınlık faktörlerini hesaba katmalıdırlar. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı yakınlık perspektifi kullanılarak üniversiteler arasındaki bilimsel işbirlikleri ile sosyal, kurumsal ve bilişsel yakınlık boyutları arasındaki ilişkilerin birlikte incelenmesidir. Bu sayede yakınlık ve ekonomik ağlar arasındaki ilişki analiz edilerek literatüre katkı sağlamak hedeflenmiştir. Çalışmanın kapsamı 2012-2020 yılları arasında 193 üniversite tarafından tamamlanmış, kabul edilmiş ve başarılı olan 2323 adet TÜBİTAK 1001 projesinden oluşmaktadır. Analiz yöntemi Newton'un evrensel yerçekimi yasasına benzeyen bir yerçekimi modelidir. Analizler R programında gerçekleştirilmiştir. TÜBİTAK 1001 proje verilerine dayanarak yakınlık ve işbirliği arasındaki ilişkiye ilişkin bulguları şu şekilde özetlemek mümkündür: Üniversitelerin yürüttükleri proje sayısı ne kadar çok olursa daha sonrasında işbirliği yapma eğilimi de o kadar yüksektir. Kurumsal yakınlığın pozitif ve anlamlı bir katsayıya sahip olması ise aynı tür kurumların işbirliğine daha yatkın olduğunu göstermektedir. Sosyal yakınlığa bakıldığında, bilimsel işbirliği üzerinde önemli ve olumlu bir etkisinin olduğu görülmektedir. Geçmişte işbirliği yapan üniversitelerin gelecekte de işbirliği yapma olasılıkları daha yüksektir. Son olarak yürütülen projelerde araştırmacıların bilimsel alanlarındaki benzerliklerin bilimsel işbirliği üzerinde hiçbir etkisi yoktur. Bu durum aynı bilimsel uzmanlığın üniversiteler arası işbirliklerini teşvik etmek için önemli olmadığı anlamını taşımaktadır.
Kurumsal Faktörler ve Dışa Açıklık İlişkisi: MINT Ülkeleri Örneği
Authors: DOĞAN ÇALIŞKAN Zehra , ELMAS Yalçın
Published: January 2023

Ekonomik süreçlerin belirleyicisi olarak kurumsal faktörler, uluslararası ticareti de şekillendirmektedir. Ülkelerin ekonomik yaşam alışkanlıkları ve ekonomik karar alma ile bunları düzenleyen bürokratik karar alma süreçleri uluslararası ticareti tüm yönleri ile etkilemektedir. Bu bakımdan çalışmanın ana fikri kurumsal değişkenlerin uluslararası ticarette etkisinin ne olacağı üzerinedir. Kurumsal değişkenler olarak Dünya Bankası Worldwide Governance Indıcators (WGI)’dan alınan hesap verebilirlik, politik istikrar, hükümet etkinliği, düzenlemelerin kalitesi, hukukun üstünlüğü, yolsuzluğun kontrolü değişkenleri seçilmiştir. Ekonomik hayatı etkileyen bu kurumsal değişkenlerin dışa açıklık olarak ifade edilen ihracatın milli gelirdeki payı oranı ile ilişkisi MINT ülkeleri (Meksika, Endonezya, Nijerya, Türkiye) özelinde, ARDL yöntemi kullanılarak ölçülmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda yönetişim göstergelerindeki iyileşmelerin (kötüleşmelerin) ihracatı olumlu (olumsuz) etkileyeceği şeklindeki hipotezimiz, elde ettiğimiz bulgulara göre doğrulanamamıştır. Sadece düzenlemelerin kalitesi değişkenine ait uzun dönem parametreleri teorik çerçeveye uygun bulunmuştur. Bu hali ile mevcut literatürün bir kısmı ile aynı sonuçlar bulgulanmıştır. Düzenlemelerin kalitesi arttığında başka bir ifade ile ekonomik müdahaleler iyileştikçe dışa açıklık artmaktadır.

Radical Hydrophosphination Initiated by Triamidoamine-Supported Titanium Despite Insertion into the Ti–P Bond
Authors: Seth, Jr. Dennis , Waterman Rory
Published: January 2023

Titanium compounds supported by the triamidoamine ligand (N3N, N(CH2CH2NSiMe33–)3) have been investigated for hydrophos-phination catalysis. The simple titanium alkyl compound (N3N)TiMe (2) demonstrate modest activity as a precatalyst for the pho-tocatalytic hydrophosphination of styrene, but the terminal phosphido compound, (N3N)TiPHPh (4), is inactive. Analysis of these reactions by EPR spectroscopy indicates that (N3N)TiMe undergoes homolytic Ti–C bond cleavage to achieve radical hydrophos-phination. This pathway was further supported in a radical trapping experiment. The phosphido derivative 4 does not produce rad-icals under similar conditions, despite undergoing facile migratory insertion reactions with polar substrates featuring C–N and C–O multiple bonds. Both nitrile and isonitrile substrates insert with ultimate formation of phosphaalkene products, a change in reactivi-ty as comparted to the zirconium congener. Molecular structures of (N3N)TiPHPh (4), (N3N)TiNBnC=PPh (5), and (N3N)TiN(H)C(Ph)=PPh (6) are reported.
Impact of Sodium Pyruvate on the Electrochemical Reduction of NAD+ Biomimetics
Authors: Bruggeman Chase , Gregurash Karissa , Hickey David
Published: January 2023

Biomimetics of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (mNADH) are promising cost-effective alternatives to their natural counterpart for biosynthetic applications; however, attempts to recycle mNADH often rely on coenzymes or precious metal catalysts. Direct electrolysis is an attractive approach for recycling mNADH, but electrochemical reduction of the oxidized mimetic (mNAD+) primarily results in the formation of an enzymatically inactive dimer. Herein, we find that aqueous electrochemical reduction of an NAD+ mimetic, 1-n-butyl-3-carbamoylpyridinium bromide (1+), to its enzymatically active form, 1,4-dihydro-1-n-butyl nicotinamide (1H), is favored in the presence of sodium pyruvate as a supporting electrolyte. Maximum formation of 1H is achieved in the presence of a large excess of pyruvate in combination with a large excess of a co-supporting electrolyte. Formation of 1H is found to be favored at pH 7, with an optimized product ratio of ~50/50 dimer/1H observed by cyclic voltammetry. Furthermore, sodium pyruvate is shown to promote electroreductive generation of the 1,4-dihydro form of several additional mNADH as well as NADH itself. This method provides a general strategy for regenerating 1,4-dihydro-nicotinamide mimetics of NADH from their oxidized forms.
Deconstructing the potency and cell-line selectivity of membranolytic anticancer peptides
Authors: Martínez-Hernández Cristina , Aguilera-Puga Mariana del Carmen , Plisson Fabien
Published: January 2023

Current cancer treatments damage healthy cells and tissues, causing short-term and long-term side effects. New treatments are desired that show greater selectivity toward cancer cells and evade the common mechanisms of multidrug resistance. Membranolytic anticancer peptides (mACPs) hold promise against cancer and multidrug resistance. The amphipathicity, hydrophobicity, and net charge of mACPs are all known to play a role in their respective interactions with cell membranes and the overall biological inhibition of cancer cells, but they are insufficient to explain their cell-line selectivity. To support the design of cell-line selective mACPs, we investigated the relationships that peptide features (amino acid composition, physicochemical properties, sequence motifs and sequence homology) could have with their potency and selectivity towards several healthy and cancer cell lines. Hydrophobicity, net charge and the presence of small and aliphatic residues influenced the potency and selectivity of mACPs across cancer cell lines in a cell-specific manner.

Published: January 2023

Nickel-based layered hydroxides (LHs) are a family of efficient electrocatalysts for the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nevertheless, fundamental aspects such as the influence of the crystalline structure and the role of lattice distortion of the catalytic sites remain poorly understood and typically muddled. Herein, we carried out a comprehensive investigation on ɑ-LH, β-LH and LDH phases, analysing the role exerted by Ni-vacancies by means of structural, spectroscopical, in-silico and electrochemical studies. Indeed, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, in agreement with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), confirm that the presence of Ni-vacancies produces acute distortions of the electroactive Ni sites (shortening in the Ni-O distances and changes in the O-Ni-O angles), triggering the appearance of Ni localised electronic states on the Fermi level, reducing of Egap, and therefore increasing the reactivity of the electroactive sites. Furthermore, post-mortem Raman and XAS measurements unveil the transformation of ɑ-LH phase into a highly reactive oxyhydroxide-like structure stable under ambient conditions. Hence, this work pinpoints the critical role of cationic vacancies on the structural and electronic properties of the LH structures, which controls their inherent reactivity towards OER catalysis. We envision Ni-based ɑ-LH as a perfect platform for trivalent cations hosting, closing the gap toward the next generation of benchmark efficient earth-abundant electrocatalysts.

Over time, the government of Nigeria has embarked on various development programmes to improve the standard of living of the youths. Unfortunately, those programmes do fail. This study however, investigates to know what could be responsible for development programmes’ failure over time. The study specifically determined the level of involvement of youths in commercial agriculture and assessed the level of effectiveness of YCAD programme in the State. The programme trained their beneficiaries in four main agricultural enterprises (Arable crop, Poultry, Fisheries & Tree crops). Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 174 beneficiaries/respondents for the study. A validated interview schedule was used to collect data which were summarized with percentages, means and standard deviation while chi-square, correlation and Analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to draw inferences. Results showed that the mean age of respondents was 37±5years, mean household size was 5±2 persons, mean year of formal education was 15±2 years and mean monthly income was ₦41,000±23,000. Results show that arable crop enterprises (47.7%) and poultry (27%) were the most preferred enterprises by the beneficiaries in the study area followed by tree crops enterprise (12.6%) and fisheries (12.6%) respectively. Results also showed that 68.7percent of the respondents indicated moderate level of involvement in Arable crop enterprise activities; 46.8percent indicated high level of involvement in poultry enterprise activities, 100percent indicated high level of involvement in tree crops and 95.5percent indicated high level of involvement in fisheries enterprise activities respectively. However, in the overall level of involvement of beneficiaries in YCAD activities, Results showed that half (50%) of the respondents indicated Moderate level of involvement. Further results show that the YCAD programme was highly effective among majority (69.5%) of the respondents. In addition, There was positive and significant relationship between the involvement in enterprise activities and effectiveness of the programme (r = 0.451; p ≤ 0.01), also, there was significance difference in the effectiveness of the programme across the four enterprises (F-value =16.374; p ≤ 0.01). This implies that the level of involvement in development programmes activities will influence its effectiveness. From this study, it was concluded that the level of involvement of the beneficiaries in various activities of YCAD programme influences its effectiveness.

Published: January 2023

The knowledge base of behavior modification methods that are appropriate and successful for public health interventions has outrun the growth of community-based health education efforts. However, data from several large-scale studies suggest that social marketing ideas and practices could be able to assist bridge the divide. The idea is that the two C4D paradigms (persuasive and participative) are complementary rather than mutually exclusive. The use of a shopper direction to create and promote intercession procedures, trade hypothesis as a model from which to conceptualize administration conveyance and program investment, crowd investigation and division techniques, the use of developmental exploration in program planning and pretesting of mediation materials, and channel examination for conceiving dispersion frameworks are all covered in this article. Paying attention to such elements may result in more cost-effective programs that reach a larger audience. This research focuses on the theoretical evaluation of the role of social media. Paying attention to these elements may result in more cost-effective programs that reach a larger audience. This work examined the importance of social marketing in communication for development and social change theoretically. A two-dimensional grid for Development and Social Change is offered based on the Communication Mode and Object of Change. It includes social marketing and other persuasive and participative communication tactics. As a result, the research supports Convergent Communication for Development.
PARTICIPATORY COMMUNICATION FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SOCIAL CHANGE
Authors: A Prakash Subedi, , T Karki,
Published: January 2023

In the last decade, participatory communication approaches have been increasingly popular, but little research has looked at the theoretical underpinnings of this approach to development. The role of participatory communication in development projects/programs and how it might promote social change in society are discussed in this article. The goal of this article is to emphasize the importance of the development and communication models, as well as participation in the past and present. This research examines historical and present methods for development communication using a descriptive style of a literature evaluation. This study proposes that structuration theory can help people understand how to negotiate social change within the existing institutional system in which they function, which is useful for participatory communication for development. The steps of the participatory communication cycle were described in parallel with the project cycle for development activities through an exhaustive literature review. However, to sharpen participatory communication for its efficacy and efficiency in development activity, the operational gap between progressive thinking on horizontal, democratic participatory processes and modern development project practice must be bridged.
Evaluación de la vulnerabilidad física ante inundaciones bajo escenarios de cambio del uso del suelo
Authors: Hernández Atencia Yelena , Peña Rojas Luis Eduardo
Published: January 2023

Debido al cambio climático y a inadecuados cambios en el uso del suelo, en muchas regiones del planeta se han incrementado en intensidad y frecuencia las inundaciones y crecidas, lo cual ha derivado en un aumento en la vulnerabilidad de la infraestructura física cercana a fuentes hídricas superficiales. Sin embargo, los métodos para determinar este tipo de vulnerabilidad en zonas en las que ha cambiado el uso del suelo son ineficaces. Se presenta el trabajo de investigación realizado en la cuenca del río Combeima en Colombia (América del Sur), en el cual se evaluó el efecto de la evolución del uso del suelo sobre el régimen de inundaciones y la vulnerabilidad física en el período 1976-2017 mediante modelación hidrológica e hidráulica y la implementación de metodologías para la evaluación de la vulnerabilidad a inundaciones. Esto permitió ratificar informes relacionados con la afirmación de que los cambios en el uso del suelo producen efectos en el comportamiento de la escorrentía directa en las cuencas hidrográficas y su relación con la vulnerabilidad de las estructuras cercanas a los cursos de agua superficiales. Este trabajo modificó y aplico dos métodos para evaluar la vulnerabilidad física en la cuenca del Rio Combeima, Tolima, Colombia. Para lo cual se utilizaron datos de registros de caudales diarios provenientes de dos estaciones ubicadas dentro de la cuenca, y se recurrió a datos de teledetección y sistemas de información geográfica, cuyo procesamiento proporcionó información sobre factores ambientales como, altitud, pendiente, uso del suelo, clase de suelo, adicionalmente se realizó una modelación hidráulica e hidrológica para la determinación de caudales y escorrentía superficial. La importancia de cada factor se evaluó a través de un análisis multicriterio convencional (MCA). Los resultados mostraron como escenarios de mayor vulnerabilidad los años 1976,1987,2002, donde el principal uso del suelo eran los cultivos y pastos; los escenarios de menor vulnerabilidad los años 2007 y 2017, debido al incremento del uso del suelo bosque. Los resultados evidencian una fuerte relación entre la vulnerabilidad de la infraestructura y el uso del suelo en los diferentes escenarios; lo cual apoyará a los tomadores de decisiones en la formulación de estrategias que permitan una mejor manera de invertir los recursos públicos en esta zona del país.
Ética, sesgos, falacias y selección metodológica. Un esquema para ingeniería industrial
Authors: Pinzón Rueda Wilson Alexánder , Jaimes Suárez Sonia Alexandra , Olarte Bustos Fidel Andrés
Published: January 2023

La ética en ingeniería orienta la conducta profesional de ingeniería en modo correcto para los otros y las organizaciones industriales, según lo indican los principios ABET. La evaluación criteriosa de metodologías y la identificación de fuentes y tipos de sesgos, falacias y la correcta elección metodología son de interés en la ética en la ingeniería. La presente propuesta identifica dos marcos de selección metodológica en intervenciones en las que se utilizan las técnicas de ingeniería industrial y metodología de la investigación. La selección de métodos, técnicas, modelos en ingeniería industrial se aprende en medio de marcos teóricos que omiten frecuentemente al menos tres fuentes de sesgo, los psicológicos, sociales y metodológicos. Kanheman, Sibony y Sunstein describen el efecto del sesgo de carácter individual en la forma en la cual los jueces emiten sus juicios dentro de los procesos judiciales y el efecto de los sesgos y los prejuicios en sus procesos y decisiones finales. Richard Thaler Identifica las diferencias entre los supuestos de la teoría económica y la forma en la cual las personas seleccionan sus acciones. Los ganadores del Premio Nobel de economía 2021 David Card, Joshua Angrist y Guido Imbens, lo obtienen al identificar el comportamiento de los mercados laborales fuera de los supuestos más frecuentemente usados desde la ideología neoclásica de que la reducción de los salarios mínimos aumenta la contratación de empleos o mano de obra. Michael Jackson propone un marco para la clasificación de intervenciones en ingeniería y en las ciencias de la administración; Para clasificar las técnicas él usa dos ejes que en palabras de Churchman estas características son: ser técnicamente factibles y culturalmente deseables. La dificultad técnica y la teoría de los intereses constitutivos de Habermas que describen las relaciones de poder. Xavier Vargas propone un marco para la Investigación: el usa dos criterios: La postura epistemológica y el grado de triangulación entre la cualificación y cuantificación del método. Nova propone un marco para la descripción de las metodologías de intervención o las de ingeniería desde el enfoque de sistemas. Aquí se propone comparar y equiparar los conceptos de la postura epistemológica y la teoría de los intereses constitutivos de Habermas, con lo que se obtiene un espacio de tres dimensiones para seleccionar entre las metodologías de investigación e intervención.

Debido a lo anterior, con el trabajo doctoral a desarrollar se pretende plantear un modelo para el funcionamiento de la red de logística inversa utilizada actualmente para la recolección y acopio de los residuos de plaguicidas, la cual se desarrollará por medio de un estudio de caso en el departamento de Boyacá y se seguirá una metodología donde en primera instancia se llevará a cabo una revisión literaria sobre los procesos que se están llevando a cabo a nivel mundial y nacional, seguido de un diagnóstico de cómo se está llevando a cabo actualmente el proceso de recolección y acopio de estos residuos agrícola, para posteriormente proponer una alternativa de mejora al proceso actual, teniendo en cuenta todos los actores que participan en dicho proceso. Igualmente, con el estudio se pretende crear un modelo referencial frente a la logística inversa de envases y empaques vacíos de plaguicidas, el cual pueda sirva como base para procesos de recolección y disposición final de estos residuos, debido a que hay una ausencia de estos modelos en la literatura específicamente para este tipo de residuos.

El suministro de agua potable es indispensable en beneficio de la salud humana y el desarrollo socio-económico, su óptima calidad se alcanza cumpliendo con los parámetros físicos, químicos y microbiológicos que no comprometen la salud del ser humano, como resultado de un tratamiento específico conforme con las caracterizaciones del agua cruda, que es sometida al proceso de purificación. Las tecnologías de potabilización que se seleccionan, diseñan y operan, deben cumplir altos estándares, además del control de calidad del proceso para verificar la remoción de los contaminantes, sin embargo, en muchas localidades a nivel nacional se cuenta con plantas de tratamiento de agua potable (PTAP) con controles de calidad poco rigurosos y métodos de tratamiento que no suplen la necesidad de la tratabilidad de los contaminantes presentes en las fuentes de agua cruda. La PTAP que suministra agua tratada a la inspección de policía de Cambao del municipio de San Juan de Rioseco, cuya población es de 1357 habitantes; no cuenta con un manejo adecuado en el tratamiento del agua cruda, específicamente en la dosificación de coagulante debido a que no se tiene una curva de calibración con la cual identificar la dosis óptima de coagulante para el proceso de floculación y sedimentación. Lo anterior, puede generar problemas en la calidad del agua ya sea porque se esté aplicando poco o mucho coagulante. En ambos casos, la calidad del agua frente a la turbiedad es inadecuada ya que la turbiedad es una medida de sólidos suspendidos en el agua; si se agrega poco coagulante quedan partículas de carga negativa, dichas partículas pueden ser refugio de bacterias y /o virus que afectan la salud del consumidor, en caso contrario, donde se agregue más coagulante del requerido, habrán partículas suspendidas de aluminio residual provenientes del mismo hidrocloruro de aluminio, coagulante que se usa en la PTAP de estudio. La evaluación en la investigación requiere del estudio y caracterización del agua cruda que llega a la planta por lo que se realizaron laboratorios para identificar las dosis óptimas de coagulante según la turbiedad inicial presente en el agua.

Published: January 2023

Los plásticos se han convertido en materiales indispensables para la sociedad por sus múltiples aplicaciones, y debido a su producción, consumo e inadecuada disposición final se ha transformado en un problema de alta precedencia en la última década. Los residuos plásticos en el medio natural son expuestos a procesos bióticos y abióticos, convirtiéndolos en materiales frágiles que generan su fragmentación en partículas progresivamente más pequeñas llamadas microplásticos (menores a 5 milímetros), volviéndose un contaminante emergente en el medio ambiente, debido a que se encuentran distribuidos en componentes ambientales (agua, sedimento, atmosfera y biota). Esta investigación tiene como objetivo proporcionar información sobre el estado del arte de los microplásticos (características, fuentes de contaminación, efectos) y conocer los diferentes estudios realizados en Colombia frente a la temática. Se realizó una búsqueda detallada de artículos científicos con informaciones cualitativas y cuantitativas de microplásticos en Colombia, los cuales han abarcado los departamentos de Atlántico, Magdalena, Córdoba, Bolívar, La Guajira, Nariño y Valle del Cauca. Esta investigación permitirá tener una perspectiva de los microplásticos, identificar los desafíos y realidades del país frente a estos contaminantes emergentes, buscando aportar información para el fortalecimiento de estrategias ambientales basadas en la protección y conservación del medio ambiente, para reducir y prevenir la contaminación por plásticos, de esta manera se contribuirá al derecho de los colombianos de un ambiente sano y a algunos Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible, como agua limpia y saneamiento, acción por el clima, vida submarina y vida de ecosistemas terrestres.
EFL Pre-Service Teachers' Beliefs in Microteaching Practicum
Authors: Herdiawan Rama Dwika
Published: January 2023

Pre-service teachers’ expectation in order to successfully carry out the instructional process in the classroom is for them to create the most of their educational experiences by conveying their knowledge to the students.  In this study, a case study was implemented, and it consisted of eleven future English teachers participating in a microteaching practicum that was led by two senior lecturers. The whole parties were aware of the purpose of the investigation that was being conducted. Based on the findings, pre-service teachers are almost unanimously of the opinion that one of the most significant aspects of the process of teaching and learning English is the contact that occurs in English between the teacher and the students. When teachers communicate in English with their students, those students are more likely to make an effort to communicate in English on their own. Therefore, English teachers should consistently encourage their pupils to use English throughout the entirety of the teaching and learning process with their classes.
Evaluation of quality of life in the elderly who have fallen
Authors: Khalaf Maath Ahmed Khalaf , Değer Tahsin Barış

Background/Aim: Approximately 30% of older adults fall at least once per year; consequently, falls are a significant public health concern in the elderly. The most common outcomes are fractures, immobility, high morbidity, and mortality rates. In recent years, quality of life (QoL) is used as a criterion to guide social policies for the elderly. The high prevalence of falls can have serious consequences on the QoL of older people, resulting in prolonged hospitalization, institutionalization, need for care, social isolation, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, it is essential to understand the effect of falls on QoL and influencing factors. In light of this study’s results, it is intended to provide recommendations for social policy that will protect the elderly from falls and maintain their high QoL. This study aimed to determine the QoL and the factors affecting the elderly who have fallen.
Methods: The research was a cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 90 elderly individuals who applied to the hospital due to falls. The inclusion criteria were being 65 years of age or older, applying to the hospital's emergency department, orthopedic or orthopedic surgery clinic due to a fall, not having passed 6 months from the date of discharge, and agreeing to participate in the study voluntarily. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews in January–June 2021 using the purposive sampling method. The Elderly Introduction Form was used to obtain sociodemographic data of the participants, as well as data on falls and their experiences after falls. The Quality of Life Scale for the Elderly was used to determine QoL. The student’s t-test was used to compare two categorical variables. ANOVA was used for more than two variables, and logistic regression analysis was also applied.
Results: QoL levels were classified as poor, fair, and good, and 58.9% of the participants were found to have a fair QoL. In addition, according to the scale’s total score average of 3.17 (0.473), the general quality of life was found to be fair for all participants. According to the t-test and ANOVA results, the QoL was higher for those with higher education levels and those living with their spouses (P˂0.05). The QoL was low in those who had fractures, had surgery, were hospitalized for more than 4 days, and had chronic diseases (P˂0.05). In the regression analysis model, age, economic status, and the number of drugs used were effective on QoL.
Conclusion: The quality of life was poor in the elderly who experienced fractures and were hospitalized. Balance-enhancing exercises in the elderly can prevent falls and associated complications. Low education level, chronic illness, and drug use reduced the quality of life. For education, literacy courses and lifelong learning programs can be applied to the elderly. For diseases, healthy aging policies can be implemented.
Estetika videospota u poeziji Branka Čegeca
Authors: Skokić Darija , Sorel Sanjin
Published: January 2023

U radu se analiziraju tragovi estetike videospota u poeziji Branka Čegeca kao istaknutog autora hrvatskog pjesništva iskustva jezika, kako je naraštaj ranije nazvao Zvonimir Mrkonjić i metajezičnog pjesništva, kako je Čegeca s pjesnicima spomenutih koncepata iskustva jezika skupno nazvao Goran Rem. Cilj je uputiti na elemente književnog kontakta s videospotovskim jezikom, odnosno pristupiti poeziji koja se konkretno i konkretistički, svojim jezičnim materijalom smješta u estetike video spota, kakvi su glavni rani projekti umjetnosti video spota Nam June Paika i Laurie Andersson. Upravo naziv „pjesništvo iskustva jezika“ signalizira kako se radi o pjesništvu čije je glavno obilježje jezična kodiranost odnosno metajezičnost te se rad bavi i sviješću o primanju tragova druge umjetnosti, prije svega videospotovskih. Polazi se od definicija intermedijalnosti, medija, postmodernizma i videospota. Analize predložaka u radu izdvajaju audiospotovske elemente vizualnosti i auditivnosti te donose nove interpretacije Čegecovih poetskih tekstova.
