Integración regional y desarrollo: experiencias de desarrollo local en MERCOSUR
Authors: Clemente Batalla Isabel
Published: December 2018

La asociación de integración regional y desarrollo como fundamento para la organización de los bloques de integración en América Latina ha sido una línea constante y recurrente en las teorías latinoamericanas sobre relaciones internacionales y política exterior, aun cuando los modelos implementados históricamente demuestran aproximaciones diferentes y a veces también contradictorias en cuanto a los objetivos, los métodos y los agentes del desarrollo. Una orientación sostenida en MERCOSUR desde inicios del tercer mileno propone el desarrollo local como modelo que incluye la dimensión territorial y los objetivos de desarrollo social, en un proceso favorecido por los avances hacia la descentralización, el empoderamiento de las comunidades locales y la creación de nuevos vínculos entre diferentes escalas espaciales: global, regional, nacional y local sub-nacional. El artículo examina los alcances de las experiencias del modelo de desarrollo local en el proceso de integración de MERCOSUR, en sus dimensiones territorial, económico-social y cultural y el papel cumplido por la iniciativa local. Se adopta el concepto de “local” no meramente como una réplica en menor escala espacial de determinantes de naturaleza sistémica, sino como una realidad dotada de aspectos específicos e identidades propias, valores compartidos, capacidad de iniciativa y normas internalizadas.

Published: December 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of university and labour market relationship. In addition to economic analysis, studying the involvement process of young people in the labour market is essential to identifying the link between higher education institutions (HEIs) and the labour market in order to assess and implement appropriate policies. This case study was conducted to discover the integration process of the classes of 2014, from three faculties of Armenian State Pedagogical University, in Armenia’s labour market. The research reveals the demand for these professions in the labour market and the pace of finding jobs. The article discusses the factors that hinder or contribute to the process of integration of young specialists in the labour market, as well as, the advantages and disadvantages of HEIs from young professionals’ perspective. Methodological recommendations and guidelines on the organisation of higher education following the labour market requirements are offered in the discussion section. It is significant to develop mechanisms for promoting employers' involvement in management offices and faculties of HEIs, to develop and fix legal norms, to improve the methodological principles and plans regarding the organisation of the practicum practices. It is proposed to expand the functions and role of career centres created in HEIs in order to establish the university's activity by the labour market requirements and to assist graduates in the labour market as well as provide continuous professional development programs and training for the teaching staff.

Published: December 2018

This study aims to explain how the ecological wisdom is manifested in Karo and Kasada. Karo and Kasada are Tenggerese traditions rooted in oral literature. Both traditions are closely related to environmental wisdom which is interesting to be studied in regard with ecological issues that have become global issues. The data in this study include library data and field data. The library data come  from written information and reports on  two rituals obtained from articles, journals, and research reports. The field data come from interviews with Dukun Pandita in Tengger, talking about  rituals and folklore that underlie, them and observation of ritual events. The data is then categorized into descriptive units and interpreted using ecocriticism approach. The results show that the nature, nurture, and culture intertwine with the essence of Karo and Kasada so that every ritual practice cannot be separated from the symbolization of the relationship between humans and nature, which is about how humans and all practices of culture respect and maintain harmonious relations with the environment.

Authors: Rawat Monika , Arunachalam Kusum , Arunachalam Ayyandar
Published: December 2018

Background: The primary function of the leaf is the production of the food and interchange the gases between the atmosphere and the plant surface. Establishing the relationship among the leaf traits is essential to understand the ecosystem functioning in the forest ecosystem. Here, the present study proposes a framework for species-level relationships between the traits in the temperate forest ecosystem. Methodology: Three morphological (leaf area, specific leaf area and leaf dry matter content), three chemical (leaf carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous content) and six physiological (chlorophyll, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, intrinsic water use efficiency, transpiration rate, intercellular CO2 concentration) leaf traits were analysed in 10 woody tree species of temperate forest using linear mixed modelling. Results: Results showed that the leaf carbon was the only trait influencing the most to leaf area, specific leaf area and leaf dry matter content and leads to maximum variation in the functioning of the forest ecosystem. Conclusion: The results suggested that consideration of plant traits, and especially the leaf traits, increases the ability to describe variation in the functioning of the forest ecosystem. This study indicated that leaf carbon act as the significant predictor of leaf trait variation among the different species in the temperate forest ecosystem of the Indian Himalayan region.

Objective: To assess the effect of the subcutaneous form of methotrexatum (metoject) on the level of pro-inflammatory cytokinemia and the morphofunctional characteristics of the vascular wall in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: The level of pro-inflammatory cytokinemia and the morphofunctional characteristics of carotid arteries were studied in 94 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) positive for RF-IgM and/or anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA). Results: It has been established that in patients with RA as a result of an increase in the serum concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) the subclinical lesion of the major arteries, manifested by an increase in the thickness of the intima-media complex (IMC) and the stiffness index of the common carotid artery (CCA) was observed, the magnitude of which was correlated with the duration of RA, the activity index of DAS28, the level of RF and the concentration of ACPA. The use of metoject in RA patients led to a statistically significant decrease in the DAS28 index, a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokinemia with attainment of control values in the early stages of the disease, a decrease in the thickness of IMC of the CCA, and local (carotid) rigidity of the vascular bed, which is more pronounced with RA duration less than 2 years. It was demonstrated that metoject therapy along with high anti-inflammatory activity, possesses a vasoprotective effect, which is characterized by a decrease in remodeling signs of CCA. Conclusion: The results of the study confirm not only the high clinical efficiency and good tolerancy of the subcutaneous form of metoject, but also show that it possesses a high anti-inflammatory activity, which provides a vasoprotective effect on large vessels of the elastic type (aorta and common carotid arteries). Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis, methotrexatum, metoject, thickness of intima-media complex, common carotid artery, pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Methods: The results of the performance of video thoracoscopic UPS in 16 patients with the idiopathic form of the Raynaud’s phenomenon are analyzed. Women were 12 (75%), men – 4 (25%) at the age of 14 to 24 years (the average age was 24.9±3.7 years). All patients had a second stage of the disease with symptoms of chronic ischemia of hands II-III degrees. The average duration of the onset of the disease till the operative treatment was 3.2±0.4 years. Results: A characteristic clinical sign of the disease was the symmetrical affection of the hands with the phenomena of cyanosis, hyperemia, mottled skin and hyperhidrosis. According to Doppler Scan, in all cases, a decrease in the linear velocity of the blood flow in the arteries of the forearm, hand and fingers, increasing of index resistibility with reduction of the pulsating index. All 16 patients underwent videothoracoscopic UPS. The duration of the operation was 98.5±10.5 min. Intra- and postoperative complications were not observed. In the nearest postoperative period no complications were observed, the regress of Raynaud’s symptoms was noted, an increase in the blood flow velocity was recorded in the arteries of the hands and fingers in the Ultrasound Diagnostic. A year later, in the cold season, a part of patients (n=3) again have moderate signs of the disease; these patients underwent complex conservative therapy. Remote results are in the studying stage. Conclusion: The UPS, by any means, is performed, is an effective and reasonable procedure. Timely surgical treatment prevents the progression of the disease and the development of complications and improves the quality of life of patients.

The article submitted a case of successful diagnostics and surgical treatment of a rare case of inferior gluteal artery false aneurysm formation due to the expressed retrograde blood flow. The probability of such a mechanism of aneurysm formation is possible in zones with rich collateral communications between the main vessels, and where there is a high retrograde pressure. The difficulties in the clinical diagnosis of aneurysm are described because of its inaccessibility for the study, as well as the weak pulsation of the aneurysmal sac and the absence of systolic thrill. This variant of an aneurysm was formed when, during the primary surgical intervention, the proximal end of the damaged vessel was ligated, and its distal end, having contracted, disappeared from the surgeon’s field of vision. This led to the formation of an aneurysm 1.5 months after the injury. Aneurysmotomy performed and a suture was applied to a bleeding vessel participating in the formation of an aneurysm, with a good near and medium-distant result. Keywords: Aneurysm, false aneurysm, iatrogenic vascular injury, aneurysmotomy.

Published: December 2018

Abstract: This article presents the results of constructing climate change scenarios for Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)based on the climate change scenarios of Vietnam published in 2016 by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Four high- resolution regional climate models include CCAM, clWRF, PRECIS, RegCM were used to downscale results of global climate models. The results show that the annual average temperature in HCMC tends to increase in the future compared to the baseline period 1986-2005, the increase depends on each RCP scenario. By the end of the century, the annual average temperature in HCMC had an increase of about 1.7÷1.9°C under the RCP4.5 scenario and 3.2÷3.6°C under RCP8.5.Meanwhile, annual rainfall in HCMC tends to increase in most periods under both of RCP scenarios. By the end of the century, annual rainfall in HCMC increases from 15% to 25% in the RCP4.5 scenario and 20-25% in the RCP8.5 scenario. Annual rainfall in coastal areas increases more than inland areas.

Aim. The study was designed to review the Russian and foreign literature of recent years on modern methods of diagnosis and management of children with pulmonary hypertension.

Materials and methods. The analysis of Russian and foreign literature was conducted in RSCI, Scopus, Web of Science, Pubmed databases.

Results. Pulmonary hypertension (LH) is a rare, severe and progressive pathology with an unfavorable prognosis. For the first time, the clinical case of LH was described in the early XXth century, and only in recent decades, there were new drugs that could improve patients’ survival. The problem of LH is relevant in the clinical practice of a pediatrician. This pathology is often a complication of many cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary diseases in children. More than half of congenital heart defects in children are accompanied by LH. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and interstitial lung lesions are also the leading causes of LH in the pediatric population. The evolution of drug therapy is associated with new ideas about the pathogenesis of the disease. If previously LH was associated with vascular tone disorders, recently, the pathogenesis is considered as a vascular remodeling, accompanied by a pathomorphological cascade of cell proliferation, hypertrophy, apoptosis, production and degradation of the intercellular matrix. However, despite the obvious breakthrough in the treatment of LH, the disease remains incurable and life-threatening.

Conclusion.The problem of perfect diagnosis and effective treatment of LH is not completely solved nowadays. However, the progress made in pathogenetic therapy in the last decade allows us to hope for the emergence of new drugs that can significantly improve the prognosis and prolong the life of the patient.

O presente trabalho investiga de que modo o processo de flexibilização das relações trabalhistas em curso no Brasil, especialmente com a aprovação da Lei 13.429/2017, Lei da Terceirização afeta o ingresso, a permanência e a condição das mulheres no mundo do trabalho. Neste sentido, avalia que as relações de trabalho e gênero vêm se transformando ao longo do tempo, de modo que as mulheres, inicialmente responsáveis pelas atividades privadas e não remuneradas do cuidado, passaram a ocupar cada vez mais o espaço público e o mundo do trabalho, o que, no entanto, não representou uma alteração significativa na relação de responsabilidade dentro do lar. Este processo vem se intensificando, concomitantemente ao avanço da reorganização capitalista e da globalização, mudança que tem impactado na precarização das relações de trabalho. Diante deste cenário, o artigo analisa incialmente, o lento e gradual ingresso das mulheres no mundo do trabalho formar e informal. Na segunda etapa, analisa o processo de flexibilização das relações e dos direitos trabalhistas em curso, especialmente o avanço da terceirização, e seu possível impacto nas relações trabalhistas. Por fim, analisa de que modo este processo atinge a condição das mulheres trabalhadoras, um grupo já tradicionalmente discriminado no mundo público do trabalho. A presente pesquisa utilizará o método histórico, e como técnica de pesquisa, a documentação indireta.
GLOBALIZAÇÃO E AMERICA LATINA: IMPACTOS NOS MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS, NO ESTADO E NO DIREITO NA BUSCA POR MAIS IGUALDADE

A América Latina assim como o resto do globo sentiu os impactos de um mundo globalizado. A região é um dos locais de maior diversidade cultural do planeta, possuindo representatividade de diversas culturas indígenas originárias, além de orientais, africanas, europeias e muçulmanas. Muitas são as causas da fragilidade do direito, do Estado e dos movimentos sociais na região, dentre os principais argumentos, a continua exclusão social e econômica derivada das desigualdades persistentes, deteriorando a integridade do Estado, do direito e dos movimentos sociais. O objetivo desse artigo é fazer um ensaio sobre a relação do processo de globalização nos movimentos sociais, no Estado e no Direito no contexto da América Latina nos últimos 10 anos. Realizou-se um estudo, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica procurando identificar a discussão sobre a evolução e os impactos do processo de globalização da região. Conclui-se que a globalização no contexto latino americano permitiu que os movimentos sociais continuassem a buscar ampliar suas ações frente o Estado e o Direito demonstrando força de interlocução apesar da ainda fragilidade das democracias. A luta da sociedade por direitos busca expressar-se nesta coalisão de direitos coletivos, desvinculada de grupos políticos, visando maior justiça em uma sociedade permeada pela busca de igualdade.
MARCADORES DE VULNERABILIDADE PRESENTES NO TRAJETO SOCIAL DE JOVENS EM CUMPRIMENTO DE LIBERDADE ASSISTIDA EM DECORRÊNCIA DO TRÁFICO DE DROGAS

Esta pesquisa apresenta uma abordagem sobre o trajeto social de jovens que estão em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa de liberdade assistida no Centro de Educação Popular Comunidade Viva (COMVIVA), na cidade de Caruaru, Pernambuco, em virtude do envolvimento com tráfico de drogas. Tomou-se por base dados de Relatórios de acompanhamento dos jovens envolvidos com este tipo de situação, referentes ao período de janeiro a outubro de 2017, tendo sido os dados lidos à luz da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados alcançados nesta pesquisa apontam que os jovens envolvidos com o tráfico de drogas estão na faixa etária de 16 a 18 anos, são do sexo masculino, não estudam ou estão atrasados em sua formação escolar e são majoritariamente de cor parda ou negra. Suas famílias são administradas, em sua maioria, por mães, têm renda familiar de até dois salários mínimos mensais, nunca realizaram algum tipo de curso profissionalizante, trabalham em subempregos ou sequer trabalham. Ainda, são beneficiários de programas sociais de redução da miséria. Por fim, os jovens em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa são, em sua maioria, são usuários de drogas lícitas e ilícitas e cometeram crimes de caráter econômico.

To describe the change in the structure of hydrothermal clay soils during the compression tests, a quantitative assessment of the pore space characteristics was carried out. A technique combining the data of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and computer X-ray microtomography was used for the studies. The joint use of the results of image analysis obtained with the help of SEM and tomography makes it possible to quantify the distribution parameters of structural elements in the size range from fractions of a micron to several millimeters. As an object of research, hydrothermal clays were taken from the pit that was passed within the Vostochno-Pauzhetskoye geothermal field (south of Kamchatka Peninsula). All studied samples are characterized by high values of porosity and humidity. As a result of a quantitative analyses of microstructure it is revealed that in the investigated soils predominate small intermicroaggregate, intergranular, inter-microaggregate-granular micropores with equivalent diameter from 1 to 10 mkm. In this case, the presence of macropores with an equivalent diameter of more than 100 μm is of great importance, since the deformation of the sample occurs primarily due to macropores and small intermicroaggregate micropores. Analysis of the integral parameters of the microstructure (dispersion and anisotropy) were calculated from electron microscopic images obtained by a thousandfold magnification for specimens of the natural state and for specimens after compression tests. Patterns in the change of these parameters as a result of compression tests were not revealed. This fact is explained by the peculiarities of the formation conditions of the investigated soils — the inherited heterogeneities due to the pseudomorphic replacement of the structural elements of the initial volcanogenic rocks by clay minerals. The size, shape and orientation in the space of aggregates of clay particles are determined by the structure of the initial rock and directly by hydrothermal transformations.

We report the synthesis of Ni(TAPPy)2 (TAPPy = 1,3,5-triazapentadienyl-2,4-bis(2-pyridyl)) and its reactivity with CO2 under reducing conditions. Electrochemical reduction of Ni(TAPPy)2 under inert gas reveals that the complex accommodates up to two additional electrons, with DFT calculations indicating that electron density is delocalized almost exclusively onto the TAPPy ligand framework. The singly reduced product [K(crypt)][Ni(TAPPy)2] (crypt = 2.2.2-cryptand) has been synthesized, and its EPR data is consistent with having ligand-based radical anion character. Controlled potential electrolysis experiments reveal that reduced Ni(TAPPy)2 converts CO2 to form CO; however, spectroscopic and computational data indicate that deactivation readily occurs to form Ni(L)(CO)n compounds, CO32-, and carboxylated (RCOO-) ligand decomposition products. This study highlights that redox activity at the ligand can play an important role during the reduction of CO2 using transition metal complexes.
