Comparison of selected reliability optimization methods in application to the second order design of geodetic network
Authors: Odziemczyk Waldemar
Published: September 2023

Determination of the precision of the designed observations in a geodetic network referred as the Second Order Design is an essential element of the network design process. Although the precision requirements are usually of key importance, ensuring an adequate level of reliability, understood as the possibility of outliers detection can be also vital. The subject of this study is the optimization of the observations’ precision distribution to get the balanced observation reliability indices. The objective of the work is to test usability of two optimization methods based on optimization algorithms, (simulated annealing and Hooke–Jeeves optimization), to solve the mentioned problem. An analytical method proposed by Amiri-Simkooei was applied as a reference. The performance of the above-mentioned methods was tested on two simulated angular-linear networks. Due to acceptable working time and the possibility of defining the boundary conditions on the final solution, the Hooke–Jeeves method appeared to be the most suitable to solve the analysed problem.

Development of a binary classifier model from extended facial codes toward video-based pain recognition in cancer patients
Authors: Cascella Marco , Vitale Vincenzo Norman , Mariani Fabio , Iuorio Manuel , Cutugno Francesco
Published: September 2023

Objectives

The Automatic Pain Assessment (APA) relies on the exploitation of objective methods to evaluate the severity of pain and other pain-related characteristics. Facial expressions are the most investigated pain behavior features for APA. We constructed a binary classifier model for discriminating between the absence and presence of pain through video analysis.

Methods

A brief interview lasting approximately two-minute was conducted with cancer patients, and video recordings were taken during the session. The Delaware Pain Database and UNBC-McMaster Shoulder Pain dataset were used for training. A set of 17 Action Units (AUs) was adopted. For each image, the OpenFace toolkit was used to extract the considered AUs. The collected data were grouped and split into train and test sets: 80 % of the data was used as a training set and the remaining 20 % as the validation set. For continuous estimation, the entire patient video with frame prediction values of 0 (no pain) or 1 (pain), was imported into an annotator (ELAN 6.4). The developed Neural Network classifier consists of two dense layers. The first layer contains 17 nodes associated with the facial AUs extracted by OpenFace for each image. The output layer is a classification label of “pain” (1) or “no pain” (0).

Results

The classifier obtained an accuracy of ∼94 % after about 400 training epochs. The Area Under the ROC curve (AUROC) value was approximately 0.98.

Conclusions

This study demonstrated that the use of a binary classifier model developed from selected AUs can be an effective tool for evaluating cancer pain. The implementation of an APA classifier can be useful for detecting potential pain fluctuations. In the context of APA research, further investigations are necessary to refine the process and particularly to combine this data with multi-parameter analyses such as speech analysis, text analysis, and data obtained from physiological parameters.
CONTRATUALISMO MORAL E OS LIMITES DO DEVER DE BENEFICÊNCIA
Authors: Molina Andreazza Tiaraju
Published: September 2023

Até que ponto temos a obrigação moral de sacrificar nossos interesses pessoais e o nossobem viver para beneficiar outros? Um desafio para qualquer teoria moral é responder a essa pergunta deuma maneira moderada. Uma resposta moderada reconheceria que o agente tem uma obrigação moralde atender às legítimas necessidades alheias, porém não de uma maneira que o impediria de se dedicara projetos e objetivos pessoais que orientam e dão significado à sua vida. O contratualismo moral deThomas Scanlon é defendido por seus proponentes como uma teoria moderada nesse sentido. Oobjetivo deste artigo é avaliar a plausibilidade dessa pretensão. Defenderei que as demandas dabeneficência, sob o contratualismo, parecem impor custos ao agente moral que são mais quemoderados. Concluo sugerindo que isso não deveria ser visto como devastador para o contratualismomoral.

A RECONSTRUÇÃO RACIONAL EM EDUCAÇÃO COMO ALTERNATIVA AO DOMÍNIO DA RACIONALIDADE ESTRATÉGICA
Authors: Pizzi Jovino , Timm dos Passos da Silva Richéle
Published: September 2023

As reconstruções racionais da teoria do agir comunicativo exigem um procedimento que coaduna três tipos de ações: comunicativas, instrumentais e estratégicas. A desconfiança em torno das escolhas racionais recai sobre o tipo de agir estratégico. A perspectiva cognitivista alimenta um carácter lógico de tipo meio-fim. Existe o risco de o sujeito limitar-se simplesmente ao autointeresse individual, pois as escolhas podem obedecer a determinados cálculos egocêntricos. Em uma sociedade individualista, as motivações subjetivas freiam escolhas de tipo universal. No caso da educação, os cálculos racionais supõem uma orientação que exclui conteúdos de caráter obrigatório. Isso acontece, por exemplo, com os temas de história e cultura afro-brasileira e indígena, exigência presente nas Leis de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação nacional. O modelo monolíngue contrasta com a perspectiva reconstrutiva de Habermas. Para entender essas questões, o texto retoma o modelo de Lakatos para, então, superar os riscos da racionalidade estratégica.

Funeral bell-ringing in Central Russia and in Siberia: continuity and differences
Authors: Talashkin Alexey
Published: September 2023

The traditional Orthodox funeral knells in Siberia are an understudied topic requiring thorough investigation. After the Siberians had gained a rich cultural and spiritual experience of the Russian Orthodoxy, they developed it in accordance with local traditions. First of all, the Siberian bishops, who often had liturgical practice in central Russia, were the bearers of the experience. Before coming to Siberia, funeral knells evolved from single strikes in a special bell to change ringing in all the bells followed by a chord, and their two-part form was developed. A rhythmic pattern of funeral knells for the laity, priests and bishops had its own features. The performance of funeral knells for the Siberians could have a status of a posthumous award at the end of a saintly life; one could be also disappointed of the award in case of a formal attitude to the Church. The resettlers from the Little Russia had a special influence on the performance of funeral knells in Siberia in the early 20th century by introducing their own customs in resettlement villages. One of them was the ringing “for the soul”, unknown in Siberia, which was performed immediately after the death of a layman. The funeral knells for the laity were officially permitted in Siberia in 1911, however people had been used them even before that time in some regions of central Russia. Funeral knells fit into the general palette of Orthodox church bell ringing, acting, at the same time, as a signal, an art and a mass medium. The liturgical instructions survived to our days are fragmentary. The attitude to funeral knells shall be rethought in the modern liturgical practice.
“Greek questions” in the works of prince V. F. Odoevsky on church singing and the neumatic anthology from his collection
Authors: Shekhovtsova Irina
Published: September 2023

The article reviews in a new perspective the little-known data related to the works of V.F. Odoevsky in the field of history and theory of church singing. The «Greek questions» opened in connection with this were studied by him, first of all, in the context of comparative observations concerning the modal organization of chants of different traditions. Important information on this subject contains, in addition to the works of the outstanding musicologist-theorist, a variety of archival materials related to the circle of his scientific communication – Bishop Porfiry (Uspensky), D.V. Razumovsky, V.V. Stasov, Yu.K. Arnold, P.I. Sevastyanov and others. In addition, the problem of studying of the Octoechos (the eight-mode system or «Osmoglasie»), a central theme in Odoevsky’s works, was also reflected in the selection of primary sources on the theory and practice of church singing, which were specially acquired for scientific purposes, both for personal use and to replenish the collections of the St. Petersburg Public Library and the Moscow Rumyantsev Museum. Thus, it is quite natural that the remarkable Greek Anthology (RSL. F. 210. No. 27), created in Smyrna by the scribe Christodoulos in 1792, appeared in Odoevsky’s superbly selected collection of church-singing manuscripts. As a result of its paleographic and codicological study, it was possible to establish important details and the context of its existence. Undoubtedly, it vividly reflected not only the final period of the Greek manuscript culture, but also the flourishing of the local (Smyrna) church singing tradition that began in the 2nd half of the 18th century.
A Poetic Tribute to the Spirit of Canada-Nicaragua Solidarity: Tools for Peace
Authors: Hanson Lori , Walters Jonah
Published: September 2023

Tools for Peace (T4P) was a grassroots campaign in the 1980s that mobilized Canadians in every province and territory from diverse walks of life and extended large quantities of material support to Nicaragua’s Sandinista revolution. Despite having been recognized by the Nicaraguan state as one of the most important international solidarity efforts of the Sandinista era, T4P has received strikingly little scholarly attention. The paper analyzes 27 interviews with Tools for Peace participants that were conducted in the mid-1980s for an anthology that was never published, the transcripts of which are now found in the public archives at McMaster University. The interviewees’ words evoke the moods, sentiments, and dispositions that animated T4P. Weaving scholar-activism with arts-informed inquiry, this paper presents those sentiments in a series of found poems that seek to both engage and inspire their readers. Through these poems, the paper evokes the experiential and affective dimensions of international solidarity as it was enacted through this novel historical experience. We suggest that T4P was exemplary of the spirit of solidarity in the global movement in support of the Sandinista revolution, but also unique in its Canadian-ness, leading us to advocate a definition of international solidarity that emphasizes its situatedness, together with its experiential and affective dimensions.

Agenda-setting and journalistic translation: The New York Times in English, Spanish and Chinese
Authors: Valdeón Roberto A.
Published: September 2023

Drawing on the concepts of agenda-setting and framing, this article aims to examine the role played by translation in the selection of articles of the New York Times for the Spanish and Chinese versions. It analyses whether the three versions focus on similar topics and therefore follow a similar agenda, identifies the topics that receive more salience via translation, and how these are complemented with texts specifically written for the translated/foreign language versions, as well as the framing mechanisms used by the writers and/or translators to create, suppress or accentuate ideological positionings. For that purpose, a constructed week methodology was used in order to collect a total of seventy articles per language. The analysis, based on Baker's adaptation of narrative theory and Kress and van Leeuwen's study of non-verbal signs, shows that the three versions of the New York Times vary in terms of format and content. Thus, while the English and Chinese versions focus on political and economic issues, the Spanish version undergoes a process of tabloidization.
Ultra-rapid determination of andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide in Andrographis Herba by solid phase extraction and liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry

Published: September 2023

An ultra-rapid analytical method for determination of andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide in Andrographis Herba (AH) was developed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The sample was ultrasonically extracted with 10 mL 40% (v/v) methanol, and then purified with a C18 solid phase extraction column. The LC separation was performed on a Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (30 × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm) and eluted with 0.5 mmol L−1 ammonium acetate aqueous solution and acetonitrile (65:35) at a flow rate of 0.7 mL min−1, and detected by mass spectrometry (MS). The LC-MS analytical time was less than 1 min. The new developed method presented a good linearity (r > 0.9900), precision and repeatability (RSD < 2.0%). The recoveries for andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide were 93.5% (RSD = 2.2%) and 97.7% (RSD = 2.4%), respectively. The developed method was successfully applied in determination of andrographolide and dehydroandrographolide in seven batches of AH samples, and the contents of analytes in all samples were complied with the relative acceptance criteria in Chinese Pharmacopeia (>0.8%). This new developed LC-MS method is an ultra-rapid assay method for AH, which will help to improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of AH sample test.
The impact of ketogenic diet on the onset and progression of multiple sclerosis
Authors: Brockhoff Jurij D. , Bereswill Stefan , Heimesaat Markus M.
Published: September 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation and neurodegeneration. Current research suggests that diet may influence disease course, severity of symptoms, and quality of life in MS patients. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been used for more than a century as a therapeutic approach for various medical conditions. It was originally developed in the 1920s as a treatment option for epilepsy, and especially in the last 30 years, has gained popularity for its potential benefits in a variety of neurological conditions other than epilepsy. This prompted us to perform a literature survey regarding the effect of KD on the onset and progression of MS. The here reviewed 15 original research articles including in vitro, preclinical, and clinical studies provide evidence for the safety and feasibility of the KD in MS, showing potential neuroprotective effects and positive impacts on cellular metabolism and disease outcome. Since the literature is limited and most studies were conducted with low numbers of MS patients and rather exploratory in nature, further studies with larger cohorts are needed to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which the improvements of the MS disease course are achieved.
Categorias sociopolíticas da ética climática: Plano Municipal de Arborização Urbana (São Paulo)
Authors: Salmi Frederico
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo busca compreender a disputa entre diferentes visões de mundo por meio da análise das propostas de reordenamento socioambiental formulado para uma megametrópole. Moralidades ecocêntricas e antropocêntricas coexistem na estrutura do instrumento político de enfrentamento da emergência climática: Plano Municipal de Arborização Urbana da Cidade de São Paulo – Pmau (2019-2020). A perspectiva da teoria do convivialismo contemporâneo foi utilizada para lapidar as emergentes categorias do campo da ética climática: pluralidade decisória, naturalidade planejada e benefício temporal. O resultado demonstra que o conteúdo estrutural do Pmau ainda é frágil para o enfrentamento da emergência climática. Todavia, ressalta-se a relevância da inclusão da dimensão ética climática na avaliação e formulação eficaz de instrumentos públicos de mitigação das mudanças climáticas para regiões cosmopolitas.
Climate change and Master Plan: flood mitigation in Belo Horizonte
Authors: Drumond Rafael Augusto Santos , Almeida Renan Pereira , Nascimento Nilo de Oliveira
Published: September 2023

Abstract The UN's New Urban Agenda has penetrated urban planning at the same time as extreme events caused by climate change. In view of the scenario of increased flooding in Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, the Master Plan approved instruments to mitigate the impacts through discounts on the fees charged for additional building rights for new buildings that use “green and blue infrastructure.” The applicability of this incentive is analyzed across the territory based on a comparison between the discounts and the costs of new sustainable techniques. It is concluded that the instruments tend to be adopted where land value is higher, being insufficient for a large part of the city, mainly areas with greater climate vulnerability, which demand more direct interventions from the government.
Gestão empresarial, trabalho e um mercado urbano em disputa
Authors: Rangel Felipe
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo recupera os conflitos emergentes durante a Comissão Parlamentar de Inquérito (CPI) da Feira da Madrugada, para discutir articuladamente a expansão de um modelo de gestão empresarial dos espaços de comércio popular e as mudanças nas experiências dos trabalhadores. Considerando o evento da CPI como uma arena em que o processo de gestão desse espaço comercial foi tematizado enquanto um “problema público”, argumenta-se que o centro do conflito esteve marcado pela tensão entre duas perspectivas distintas sobre os mercados populares e os usos legítimos do espaço urbano: uma perspectiva que reconhece, nessas atividades, uma espécie de “função social” e uma razão de mercado que identifica os espaços urbanos de comércio popular como promissores para investimento e fomento ao empreendedorismo.
Cidade à venda: inflexão ultraliberal na produção do espaço em Florianópolis
Authors: Peres Lino Fernando Bragança , Abreu Miriam Santini de , Calheiros Fernando Vonsowaki
Published: September 2023

Resumo Este artigo analisa o processo de produção do espaço urbano em Florianópolis a partir da articulação entre Estado, capital imobiliário e imprensa tradicional, para atender aos interesses dos grupos dominantes locais e facilitar a expansão imobiliária. Para isso, foi necessário o desmonte dos órgãos e instrumentos públicos de planejamento e de fiscalização pela via da reforma administrativa. O ápice foi a aprovação da revisão do Plano Diretor em 2023, ignorando as demandas dos movimentos populares. Esse processo se beneficiou das esferas econômica, política e ideológica, definidas como as principais formas de controle do espaço urbano, sob a égide da cidade-empresa. Contrapondo-se a isso, a capital catarinense é campo de lutas sociais pelo acesso à terra urbanizada e pelo direito à cidade.
Low-income rental and heritage preservation: the case of Boa Vista (Recife)
Authors: Menezes Larissa Rodrigues de , Lacerda Norma , Primavera Luanâncy Lima
Published: September 2023

Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of the housing rental market in several Brazilian historic centers. In the Historic Center of Recife (HCR) – composed, roughly, of the neighborhoods of Bairro do Recife, Santo Antônio, São José and Boa Vista, which make up six different submarkets –, rental constitutes an important form of access to housing, especially for the low-income population. Considering that the Boa Vista submarket constitutes the last housing stronghold of the HCR, this use being a fundamental factor to the preservation of its built heritage, this article aims to analyze the functioning of the low-income housing rental market in Boa Vista, seeking to reveal the reasons for the resistance of this use in a historical centrality.
Inventive education in occupational therapy in times of COVID-19: presence in virtuality
Authors: Cirineu Cleber Tiago , Tavares Grasielle Silveira , Uchoa-Figueiredo Lúcia da Rocha
Published: September 2023

Abstract Objective This study aims to analyze remote teaching in the university context in times of pandemic from the perspective of teachers who work with inventive education. It focuses on theoretical-practical experiences conducted in three universities in Brazil and Chile. Method The experience report was used as a method in this research, enabling analysis of the education process based on experiential disciplines taught remotely. Results Inventive education contributed to the processes of communication, knowledge of oneself and the other, and the promotion of group work among students. Through artistic and bodily activities, some challenges related to structural, virtual, curricular, and cultural issues could be highlighted. Modulating the involvement and study of artistic and bodily experiences, especially with students, can assist in the process of transversality in occupational therapy practices, enabling their participation in unknown territories, mobilizing affections and creating spaces capable of managing different forms of interaction, contact and approximation, working and strengthening personal and social aspects. Conclusion Different situations were evidenced between the three universities where the inventive education allowed teachers and students to approach their everyday activities, stimulating the process of communication, knowing oneself and the other, and promoting group work. However, it is evident that remote teaching does not replace face-to-face classes and that, despite all the difficulties, occupational therapy teachers facilitated the process of adapting to realities in possible contexts.
The effects of health restrictions due to COVID-19 and the importance of using body approaches with people suffering from psychological distress and their families
Authors: Cirineu Cleber Tiago , Olivarez Leonardo Cárcamo
Published: September 2023

Abstract Objective Results are presented on the importance of using corporal approaches with people with mental suffering and their families. Method The qualitative research developed with an ethnographic approach focused on the corporal dimension supported the development of the collaborative performance-investigation process. The philosophical support of Agnes Heller's Theory on the Daily Life on the practice of Psychosocial Rehabilitation allowed us to analyze the body experiments that used eight meetings where four users and two relatives of the Psychosocial Rehabilitation Center of Valdivia, Chile participated. Results The logic of progression of intensity and incorporation of learning allowed to identify four categories: Framing and beginning of the process; Knowing and becoming aware of one's own body; Between pain and pleasure; The importance of corporeality. The results allowed access to bodily perceptions that were silenced and even made invisible both due to the effects of the sanitary restrictions due to COVID-19, as well as the stigmatization associated with mental suffering. Agnes Heller's Theory of the Everyday allowed an approach to the understanding of the daily life of people with mental suffering with the positive assessment associated with group dynamics and bodily praxis, making it possible to visualize the interface between pleasant bodily activities with the perspective of rehabilitation effective psychosocial. Conclusion Body practices managed to generate reflective spaces that were central to the effective incorporation of empowerment and autonomy. In this sense, it becomes essential to provide support for therapeutic experiences with a body perspective, in a (re)educational framework, which allows the restructuring of healthy mental habits.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito adjuvante da pregabalina em pacientes com síndrome do túnel do carpo (STC), tratados cirurgicamente, analisando a dor pós-operatória e a incidência da síndrome da dor complexa regional (SDCR). MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados pacientes com acompanhamento ambulatorial, com indicação de tratamento cirúrgico para STC, e acompanhados ao longo de 12 meses, divididos em três grupos. O Grupo Controle recebeu placebo, o Grupo Pregabalina 75mg tomou uma dose diária e o Grupo Pregabalina 150mg recebeu uma dose diária da medicação. A evolução dos pacientes foi avaliada mediante aplicação da escala visual analógica de dor (EVA) e o escore de dor neuropática DN4, antes da cirurgia, um mês e três meses após. RESULTADOS: A administração de pregabalina em pacientes cirúrgicos com STC não demonstrou diferenças significativas no alívio da dor pós-operatória imediata. Além disso, não houve variações estatisticamente significativas na incidência de complicações, como a SDCR, entre os grupos. CONCLUSÃO: Este estudo não evidenciou um impacto significativo da pregabalina no alívio da dor pós-operatória ou na redução da incidência da SDCR em pacientes submetidos a cirurgia para STC. Esses resultados sugerem que a pregabalina pode não ser um adjuvante eficaz nessas situações cirúrgicas.

Control of undesirable algal species is the primary requirement for the long-term maintenance of health of an aquatic ecosystem. Their excessive growth may cause ecosystem imbalance by depleting the water quality and affecting the life of aquatic fauna. The present paper describes the physical, chemical and biological methods of controlling undesirable algal species.
Coupled peridynamics modelling of liquefaction-induced shear strain localisation and delayed failure
Authors: Sun Wei , Wang Rui , Zhang Jian-Min
Published: September 2023

Liquefaction-induced shear strain localisation and delayed failure occur when a low-permeability overlying soil layer impedes the dissipation of excess pore water pressure generated by the underlying sand. When this phenomenon is simulated by the classical finite-element method (FEM), the predicted strain localisation and lateral deformation are mesh-size dependent. In this study, the non-local peridynamics theory is introduced as a novel regularisation technique for modelling such a phenomenon. The computational model is based on coupling the non-ordinary state-based peridynamics (NOSBPD) and FEM for the solid and pore fluid phases, respectively. The liquefiable sand is modelled using a plastic model for large post-liquefaction shear deformation of sand (CycLiq) in the NOSBPD layer and the fluid flow is solved in the FEM layer. After validation of the proposed method using a VELACS centrifuge model test, the seismic response of an idealised one-dimensional sloping site with a low-permeability interlayer is analysed using various discretisation resolutions. The results show that the proposed method for liquefaction-induced strain localisation analysis is insensitive to spatial discretisation density. Finally, the Lower San Fernando dam failure case is revisited. The localised sliding and delayed failure of the dam observed in the field is achieved in the simulation. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed method in assessing realistic cases associated with liquefaction-induced shear strain localisation.

In this study, the authors investigated the wettability change of atmospheric-pressure-cold-plasma (APCP)-treated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces with time under different storage temperatures and pressures, and the results indicate that low temperature can hinder wettability recovery. After storage for 5 days, the water contact angle (WCA) of PTFE stored at room temperature (25°C) recovered from 19 ± 2 to 54 ± 2°, while the WCA of PTFE stored at low temperature (−10°C) increased to just 42 ± 3°. Then, the mechanism contributing to the slower wettability recovery was investigated by analyzing surface chemical compositions through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and observing surface morphologies using atomic force microscopy. After 15-day storage, the oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) contents decreased obviously, while the fluorine (F) content increased. The fluorine content of the sample stored at low temperature was 20% less than that of the sample stored at room temperature. In contrast, surface micromorphologies were unchanged during storage, and the surface roughness R a of each sample was around 7 nm. Finally, peel strength tests were conducted on APCP-treated PTFE surfaces stored at different temperatures, and the surfaces stored at low temperature maintained better adhesive properties. After 15 days of storage, the adhesive strength could still reach 400 N/m, which was 376% higher than that of the untreated surface. The research results are expected to facilitate practical applications of APCP modification and PTFE surfaces significantly.

What are the impacts of teaching deliberation on students’ attitudes in practical discussions? This study presents research findings from a field experiment involving more than 500 students from five public schools in the Brazilian cities of Belo Horizonte and Belém. We found a small effect of deliberative training on students’ justifications of their views and telling personal stories. However, much larger effects emerged when data were analysed separately by schools’ socioeconomic contexts, suggesting that middleclass students benefited more from training than disadvantaged students. Respect did not vary between groups and school contexts. Overall participation in discussion increased, and the effect was significantly greater in treatment groups, with positive inclusion of female students. The results support the view that learning deliberation is not a unidimensional process, but a complex combination of different components, and some capacities are more easily achieved than others.

El sistema educativo chileno destaca por la instalación temprana del sistema de Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP), el cual enfatiza en la rendición de cuentas por parte de las escuelas y en el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes, apoyándose en estrictos regímenes de evaluación y monitoreo. Este modelo desincentiva la autonomía de las escuelas e infravalora los desafíos de la educación como la equidad social y la atención a las comunidades vulnerables. El objetivo de este artículo de investigación es explorar, de manera específica y contextualizada, iniciativas transformadoras de escuelas vulnerables en el contexto de la nueva gestión pública (NGP) en Chile. Los resultados obtenidos en 8 etnografías educativas muestran que, a pesar del escaso margen de autonomía permitido por las políticas públicas, las escuelas investigadas desarrollan iniciativas autónomas para abordar las demandas de su comunidad. De acuerdo al análisis de los datos, estas iniciativas se orientan por tres lógicas: reconocimiento de los actores escolares, redistribución del poder y reciprocidad entre sus miembros, logrando transformar de múltiples modos los límites organizativos que les establece la NGP. Finalmente, en las discusiones mostramos cómo las demandas y las necesidades propias de una comunidad movilizan y empoderan a los actores educativos a desarrollar iniciativas transformadoras.

The terrestrial entomofauna was determined in the La Arena sector, Huamachuco, Perú; for this, the workplace was divided into 3 zones; previus, middle and rear. For the collection of insects, Pitfall traps, striking nets and aerial nets were used in a transect of 100 linear meters and 5 repetitions. The collected samples were processed in the entomology laboratory of the National University of Trujillo, determining 27 families belonging to 6 insect orders. The comparison of insect diversity with the Margalef index was made; for the previus and rear area with 1.93 and 1.94, respectively. In relation to the Simpson index, the values obtained were 0.13, 0.19 and 0.15, for the rear, middle and previus zones; likewise, the values of the Shanon-Weaver index for the rear, middle and previus zones with 7.69, 5.26 and 6.67, respectively. In addition, to measure the similarity between the sampled areas, the Jaccard (47.83%), Sorensen (66.72%) y Morisita-Horn (69.71%) indices were applied, presenting the highest value between the middle and posterior area. It is concluded that there is a high diversity of terrestrial entomofauna in the surroundings of the La Arena mine, Huamachuco, Peru, with several species related to each other.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the inclusion of national cocoa mucilage as a stabilizer in jackfruit nectar. For this purpose, a completely randomized design was used, where the factor under study was the different concentrations of mucilage (5, 10 and 15%). The physical-chemical characteristics (°Brix, pH and titratable acidity, viscosity, stability and colorimetry) were evaluated, and a sensory analysis (color, odor, flavor and acceptability) was carried out using a 9-point hedonic scale, and finally, the shelf life of the treatment with the best sensory results was determined. Regarding the physical-chemical characteristics, a significant difference was observed, establishing T3 with a higher value in the variables °Brix (17), pH (4.63), titratable acidity (1.96%), viscosity (0.02774 mPa.s), lower sedimentation (0.8%), and also, in relation to colorimetry, there was statistical significance in the a* coordinate, obtaining values from -1.02 to -1.26. As for the sensory categories, the treatments studied did not show significant differences; however, T3 obtained the best evaluation in the categories evaluated. On the other hand, the shelf life of the nectar was 14 days since it presented good microbiological quality as specified in the "INEN 2337: 2008" Standard.

Революция информационных технологий вызвала перестройку бизнес-процессов практически во всех секторах экономики, включая расширение спектра цифровых навыков, используемых сотрудниками отрасли туризма и гостеприимства. Однако сама сущность гостеприимства определяет, что цифровые навыки не могут заместить традиционные универсальные (надпрофессиональные) навыки. Цель. Исследование направлено на выявление уровня развития универсальных и цифровых навыков сотрудников первой линии взаимодействия с клиентами российских отелей. Методология исследования. Методология включает кабинетный этап и опрос сотрудников первой линии взаимодействия с клиентами отелей, проведённый весной 2021 года. Выборка состоит из 151 сотрудников отелей одной из российских управляющих компаний (данные были проанализированы с помощью статистического пакета SPSS). Инструментарий исследования включал ряд содержательных блоков, направленных на тестирование цифровых и универсальных навыков, востребованных в сфере гостеприимства. Результаты. Результаты исследования показали, что уровень владения цифровыми навыками у сотрудников отелей выше, чем универсальными, но при этом уровни владения универсальными и цифровыми навыками не связаны между собой. Это вызывает беспокойство со стороны служб управления персоналом отраслевых компаний, так как снижает возможности оказания качественных услуг клиентам. Проведённые ранее исследования в этой сфере проводились преимущественно на зарубежных, а не российских данных. В центре анализа представленного исследования — сотрудники российских отелей, непосредственно работающие с клиентами. Ценность результатов. Полученные результаты дают возможность разработать ряд рекомендаций компаниям сферы гостеприимства по совершенствованию процессов управления персоналом с учётом уровня развития универсальных и цифровых навыков сотрудников. Речь идёт о возможных направлениях совершенствования практик управления человеческими ресурсами в компаниях отрасли, а именно: процессов подбора и отбора персонала, обучение сотрудников компаний.

Il trattamento medico delle neoplasie prevede l’utilizzo di varie classi di farmaci oncologici in base alla tipologia del tumore. Questi trattamenti hanno permesso di curare o migliorare il quadro oncologico; tuttavia, sono associati a effetti avversi a livello di diversi distretti, e tra questi sta assumendo sempre più rilevanza la tossicità cardiovascolare. La tossicità cardiovascolare da chemioterapici può manifestarsi con presentazioni cliniche multiple e proteiformi, tra cui: aritmie, miocarditi e miocardiopatie con conseguente disfunzione ventricolare sinistra e insufficienza cardiaca, accelerazione dell’aterosclerosi coronarica con ischemia miocardica e sindromi coronariche acute, versamenti pericardici e pericarditi, ipertensione arteriosa. È oggi chiaro che la diagnosi precoce di tali condizioni, prima che possano comparire segni e sintomi clinici, è fondamentale per evitare la progressione e la cronicizzazione del quadro patologico, per impedire che il danno determinato risulti irreversibile e per trattare la condizione cardiologica in maniera adeguata, evitando, quando possibile, di sospendere le terapie oncologiche. Le tecniche di imaging cardiaco sono al primo posto tra le metodiche per la rilevazione della cardiotossicità da chemioterapici, e ampiamente utilizzate nei pazienti da sottoporre o sottoposti a tali terapie. Tuttavia, i parametri più comunemente usati, come la frazione di eiezione ventricolare sinistra, sono marcatori tardivi, e quando compromessi denotano un danno miocardico già in fase discretamente avanzata. Per una diagnosi precoce è importante la conoscenza e l’implementazione di analisi più raffinate, emerse di recente. Per la diagnosi precoce di cardiotossicità da chemioterapici e il monitoraggio della terapia sono inoltre utili sia biomarcatori già noti, come la troponina e i peptidi natriuretici, o emergenti, che vanno conosciuti, ancora indagati, e poi valorizzati. La valutazione dello stato funzionale riveste particolare importanza nel paziente anziano, allo scopo di garantire il migliore approccio diagnostico terapeutico e limitare il più possibile i danni derivanti da terapie eccessivamente invasive.

Con il miglioramento della prognosi associate al cancro, grazie ai progressi delle terapie antitumorali, stiamo assistendo a un crescente aumento della mortalità e della morbilità dei sopravvissuti al cancro a causa dell’aumento degli effetti avversi cardiovascolari dei farmaci antineoplastici. Le complicanze cardiovascolari più comuni delle terapie antineoplastiche comprendono l’ischemia miocardica, l’ipertensione arteriosa, le aritmie e la disfunzione del ventricolo sinistro che culmina nell’insufficienza cardiaca. La tossicità è dovuta dal fatto che gli stessi bersagli tumorali interessati dai farmaci sono presenti anche nelle cellule normali del sistema cardiovascolare. In questo articolo verranno trattati i quadri clinici e i principali meccanismi implicati nella tossicità cardiovascolare indotta da farmaci antineoplastici, tra cui lo stress ossidativo, l’infiammazione, l’immunotrombosi e l’iperattivazione delle vie di segnalazione associate ai fattori di crescita.
