Published: January 2021

The current health program in Indonesia is focused on improving the health status of vulnerable groups, one of which is pregnant women. This is indicated by the high rate of maternal and infant mortality. One of the government's efforts to overcome this problem is the concept of safe motherhood and antenatal care. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most pregnant women did not get medical check-up because they were worried about the corona virus. Therefore, online classes for pregnant women were conducted. This community service method is in the form of interactive education based on information technology online and offline. The targets are all pregnant women who carry out examinations at the Midwife Independent Practice of Yanyan Mulyani, while the targets for pregnancy exercise and prenatal yoga are 35 pregnant women with a gestational age of 28-39 weeks. The implementation technique is divided into three stages, namely the first stage is to assess the level of understanding of the respondent with a pre test, the second stage, namely the implementation of classes for pregnant women by providing online material and the implementation of offline pregnancy and prenatal yoga exercises, and the third stage, namely evaluating the material with post tests . The results of the activity showed an increase in knowledge to be good by 68.6%. Providing information to the class of pregnant women by the facilitator on a regular basis and carried out every week with different materials makes pregnant women make pregnancy visits and regularly attend classes for pregnant women to stay healthy.

The huge benefits of exclusive breastfeeding have not been able to increase the number of exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Indonesia. This is due to the low knowledge of pregnant women on the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. Low support from families, communities and health workers, especially breastfeeding counselors, is one of the factors causing the low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding. Mothers need support from those around them for success of exclusive breastfeeding behavior. The role of health workers in health promotion is also needed so that the exclusive breastfeeding program runs optimally. This activity aims to increase the knowledge and skills of mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. The community service method used is assistance to mothers in exclusive breastfeeding with the concept of one student one client. It was carried out in the working area of the Surakarta City Health Office with 30 participants. It begins with counseling mothers about exclusive breastfeeding, observations about maternal assistance in exclusive breastfeeding, and an evaluation of the course of mentoring through filling out a questionnaire about exclusive breastfeeding and breastfeeding practices. The role of health workers in supported exclusive breastfeeding includes providing counseling on IMD and breastfeeding since pregnancy with husband, involving husbands in IMD implementation, posyandu with home visits involving cadres and providing counseling for pregnant women, providing lactation corners, counseling involving all puskesmas officers, distributing leaflets and posters, holding pregnancy classes, and involving cadresto hold Kelompok Pendukung Ibu (KP-Ibu). The failure of exclusive breastfeeding was generally because the mother works so that breastfeeding motivation decreased, family support was low, worried about insufficient breastfeeding, and low knowledge of breastfeeding. There was a relationship between knowledge and breastfeeding practice and it was statistically significant (p=0.004, OR: 25.14, CI95%:0.89-5.56). The role of health workers and cadres in supported exclusive breastfeeding through maternal assistance was quite good, however the failure of exclusive breastfeeding generally came from maternal factors. There was a relationship between knowledge and breastfeeding practice and statistically significant.

Authors: Stanciu Magdalena Cristina , Nichifor Marieta , Anca-Irina Prisacaru
Published: January 2021

Cationic dextran hydrogels having pendent 51-59 mol% N-alkyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride groups were synthesized and tested as adsorbents for sodium cholate. The bile acid salt sorption by these gels was evaluated by equilibrium analysis in water and 10 mM NaCl solution. The best adsorption results were obtained with amphiphilic dextran-based gels having two types of pendant ammonium chloride groups with different polarities. Experimental adsorption data for all polymers fitted good with Langmuir, Dubinin-Raduskevich and Temkin models over the entire range of ligand concentrations. The maximum experimental adsorption capacity of dextran sorbents for sodium cholate was in the range 850-1075 mg/g.

Comparative Analysis on Use of Polymer Fibres from Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate into Reinforced Concrete Solutions
Authors: Kiss Imre , Bordeasu Ilare , Baciu Andrei Mihai , Alexa Vasile , Cioata Vasile George , Ursu-Neamt Gabriel
Published: January 2021

Fibre-reinforced concrete cannot replace the ordinary reinforced concrete. However, there are areas of use in which fibre-reinforced concrete can be used alternatively or in addition to the ordinary reinforced concrete, offering several advantages, some of that being presented in this study. The basic idea is that reinforcements create a multi-directional �mesh� within the cementitious matrix that will make concrete stronger. In fact, adding the fibrous material to concrete will increase the strength. In this sense, the micro-fibres primarily work to prevent micro- or shrinkage cracking, which mostly occurs during the initial curing process of the concrete, or those critical first 28 days. By contrast, the macro-fibres provide load-bearing strength after the concrete cracks. But, in fact, the subject is more complex. The types and size of fibres, their distribution and orientation are a hugely complex topic. Fibres, of whatever nature, have been found to improve the properties of concrete. Fibre-reinforced concrete provides an alternative to conventional reinforcement, with the advantage of time and reduced costs of performing maintenance work. The complexity of various fibre use presents challenges for the construction sectors that may be beyond current levels of expertise. In this study, particularities of concrete reinforced with polymer fibres are presented. Also, a comparative study is presented, based on our previous works in area of the concrete reinforcing with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Published: January 2021

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lack of protective equipment worldwide, we aimed to study the literature for finding guidelines in the 3D manufacture of respiratory masks. We have searched for papers in CI-EXPANDED, SSCI, A&HCI, CPCI-S, CPCI-SSH, BKCI-S, BKCI-SSH, ESCI, CCR-EXPANDED, IC, using 3D printing materials sterilization and 3D printing materials disinfection keywords. From 80 results in databases, after refining, we selected six papers. We have also searched for manufacturers information regarding 3D printing materials sterilization or disinfection. We have found seven materials that are suitable for 3D printing and sterilization, with regards to multiple utilizations. Analyzing the properties and recommendations for sterilization of elements obtained by 3D printing, a thorough filaments structures/behavior research for most of the 3D models for printing is needed regarding synthetic polymers suitable for 3D printing; also, to establish the physical and chemical properties resulted after the reactions with sterilizing substances. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors want to help and find guidelines in the 3D manufacture for producing respiratory masks.

Published: January 2021

Despite the advantages of the non-flammable, good performance and low price, poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) still suffer from poor thermal stability, restricting its melting process and applications. Although addition of some heat stabilizers can be used to improve the low thermal stability, so far, they normally compromise the environmental issues and smoke density of PVC during combustion. In this work, a series of La doping Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LaLDHs) with different molar ratio of La3+ / Al3+ were successfully synthesized by coprecipitation-hydrothermal method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the as-prepared LaLDHs exhibit plate-like morphology with a lateral size around 100-180 nm. The different as-prepared LaLDHs were introduced into PVC as heat stabilizer to prepare PVC nanocomposites. The thermal stability and smoke suppression of PVC nanocomposites were investigated by TGA, thermal aging, Congo red and smoke density rating test (SDR), respectively. All the results demonstrated that PVC-LaLDHs2 nanocomposites containing 2% LaLDHs2 (the molar ratio of La3+ / Al3+ is 1 / 3) were optimized, which achieved the maximal T50% value of 337.2 oC, minimal SDR value of 45.6%, and prolonged the thermal aging time from less than 10mins to 90mins, respectively thermal stability time from 1242s to 2751s. In addition, the tensile strength and elastic modulus of PVC-LaLDHs2 respectively increased by 84.4% (56.6 MPa) and 75.5% (1019.4 MPa) with little affecting elongation at break of PVC.

Decision Support System is a computerized system designed to increase effectiveness in decision making to solve semi-structured and unstructured problems so that the decision-making process can be of higher quality. One method of solving MADM problems is by using the Simple Additive Weighting method. The SAW method is to find the weighted sum of the performance ratings for each alternative of all attributes. This study aims to design and create a system to determine which employees are entitled to receive bonuses, for that we need a decision support for giving employee bonuses decisions. In this study using the Simple Additive Weighting method. The system development model used is a waterfall. Waterfall has several stages, namely needs analysis, system design, writing program code, program testing, program implementation and maintenance. The results showed the benefits of the SAW method as a decision support system for determining employee bonuses based on the employee performance of PT. Mayatama Solusindo can assist administrators in determining employee bonuses quickly and effectively. So the bonus that employees get using the SAW method is the basic salary times the percentage of the ranking value.

Rapid Deceleration of Blast Waves Witnessed in Tycho’s Supernova Remnant

Published: January 2021

In spite of their importance as standard candles in cosmology and as major major sites of nucleosynthesis in the universe, the kinds of progenitor systems that lead to Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remains a subject of considerable debate in the literature. This is true even for the case of Tycho’s supernova (SN) that exploded in 1572, although it has been deeply studied both observationally and theoretically. Analyzing X-ray data of Tycho’s supernova remnant (SNR) obtained with Chandra in 2003, 2007, 2009, and 2015, we discover that the expansion before 2007 was substantially faster than radio measurements reported in the past decades and then rapidly decelerated during the last ∼15 yr. The result is well explained if the shock waves recently hit a wall of dense gas surrounding the SNR. In fact, such a gas structure is expected in the so-called single-degenerate scenario, in which the progenitor is a binary system consisting of a white dwarf and a stellar companion, whereas it is not generally predicted by a competing scenario, the double-degenerate scenario, which has a binary of two white dwarfs as the progenitor. Our result thus favors the former scenario. This work also demonstrates a novel technique to probe gas environments surrounding SNRs and thus disentangle the two progenitor scenarios for SNe Ia.
Géopolitique comparée des révolutions et des contre-révolutions arabes
Authors: Blanc Pierre
Published: January 2021

10 ans après le début dudit printemps arabe, cet article propose une analyse géopolitique de ce qui s’est produit à partir de 2011. Étant donné la variété des situations, c’est par une approche comparatiste que cette analyse procède. Une grille qui emprunte à la sociologie politique de Max Weber permet d’opérer un premier discernement quant aux phénomènes qui se sont produits en 2011. Mais eu égard au fait que la réalité ne rentre pas pleinement dans cette première grille, d’autres éléments d’explication doivent être inclus. Enfin, l’article propose une analyse géopolitique des trajectoires politiques très différenciées, qui vont de la transition certes incertaine de la Tunisie aux chaos syrien, libyen et yéménite, en passant par le retour autoritaire en Égypte.
Syrie : révolution, barbarie et occupations
Authors: Majed Ziad
Published: January 2021

Depuis 2011, année du soulèvement populaire révolutionnaire en Syrie (après la Tunisie, l’Égypte, la Libye, le Yémen et le Bahreïn), et surtout depuis 2012, lors de sa transformation en guerre totale, la violence du régime de Bachar Al-Assad, soutenu par la Russie et l’Iran, a pris une tournure sans précédent dans le pays et la région. Une violence quotidienne organisée à échelle industrielle, qui va s’exacerber au fil du temps pour faire en neuf ans plus de 320 000 morts et disparus parmi les civils syriens (et palestiniens réfugiés en Syrie). À ces victimes s’ajoutent plus de 13 millions de déplacés internes et de réfugiés à l’extérieur du pays, soit plus de 55 % de la population. Le texte explique en premier lieu l’évolution de la situation en Syrie depuis 2011 à travers une lecture des évènements et des interventions majeurs qui ont modifié ses configurations dans un territoire de plus en plus fragmenté. Il analyse en second lieu les raisons de la violence systémique du régime assadien, ses catégories et ses objectifs, et la nécessité d’en finir avec son impunité.
La quadrature du cercle libyenne : révolution avortée ou reportée ?
Authors: Mikaïl Barah
Published: January 2021

Le fait pour la Libye de connaître une division entre trois régions principales (la Tripolitaine à l’ouest, la Cyrénaïque à l’est, le Fezzan au sud-ouest) est connu : ni le roi Idriss au lendemain de l’indépendance du pays, ni l’ex-Guide Moammar Kadhafi ne réussirent à résorber cette fracture. Mais cet état des faits n’a pas empêché l’émergence d’une nation libyenne, dont la capacité de résilience a été testée le long de ces dix dernières années. Le « Printemps arabe » a été suivi de l’accroissement du champ libyen des divisions (géographique, institutionnel, idéologique, militaire, sociopolitique, etc.) cependant que les ingérences de pays étrangers ne faisaient qu’accroître ces brèches. Le résultat a été l’émergence d’un paysage national fissuré et téléguidé par-delà la volonté des Libyens. Pour autant, cela n’indique pas forcément que les Libyens aient à renoncer aux retombées d’un projet révolutionnaire qui a peut-être été reporté, plutôt que d’être définitivement mort.
Après la loi de 2016 : les pratiques sédatives dans un contexte gérontologique
Authors: Broucke Marion , Devalois Bernard
Published: January 2021

La loi de février 2016 sur les droits des patients et la fin de vie a créé pour les professionnels de santé un devoir de mettre en œuvre toute pratique sédative nécessaire pour soulager les souffrances réfractaires en fin de vie. Dans certains cas très spécifiques, elle a même créé un véritable droit à une sédation irréversible (maintenue jusqu’au décès). La typologie SEDAPALL est un outil d’aide à la réflexion et à la prise de décision pour la mise en œuvre des différentes pratiques sédatives à visée palliative en fin de vie. Elle permet de les différencier selon trois axes : la durée prévue, la profondeur et la nature du consentement. À ce jour, il n’existe pas de travaux spécifiques sur les pratiques sédatives pour des patients gériatriques. À l’aide de vignettes cliniques concernant des situations gérontologiques, il est proposé de discuter des différentes problématiques éthiques soulevées par ces pratiques sédatives. D’éventuelles spécificités pour le grand âge sont discutées tout en rappelant le droit pour chaque patient, y compris gériatrique, à une mort apaisée, si besoin par une altération pharmacologique de sa vigilance.
Dialogue résident-famille-institution : clé du consentement à l’entrée en Ehpad
Authors: Angel Ophélie , Bonardi Christine , Drouot Cyril , Corveleyn Xavier
Published: January 2021

Malgré le besoin juridique d’un consentement libre et éclairé avant toute institutionnalisation, le consentement des personnes âgées est trop rarement recherché. Pourtant, la phase de dialogue entre les acteurs structurant l’entrée en Ehpad serait un facteur clé de réussite de cette institutionnalisation. L’objectif de cette étude est de comprendre comment l’obtention de ce consentement est perçue par les différents membres de la triade famille-résident-soignant. Des entretiens semi-structurés menés avec cinq résidents, leur aidant principal et l’équipe pluridisciplinaire ont permis d’obtenir une vision plurielle du vécu de l’institutionnalisation. Les entretiens (enregistrés et retranscrits, puis quantitativement et qualitativement analysés via le logiciel Tropes®), montrent que, si tous les résidents (consentants ou non consentants à l’entrée) rationalisent leur consentement, les résidents non consentants saturent émotionnellement plus négativement leurs propos que les résidents consentants. Les familles suivent le même schéma de résultat. Enfin, les équipes soignantes rapportent un mieux-être des résidents consentants plus important que pour les non-consentants. De plus, les éléments émotionnels du discours divergent entre les consentants et les non-consentants. Ces émotions peuvent renvoyer à la notion de liberté du consentement et devront être davantage prises en compte dans le processus de recherche du consentement, voire de l’assentiment de la personne en perte d’autonomie, lors de l’entrée en Ehpad.
Une exception française : son recensement de la population
Authors: Dumont Gérard-François
Published: January 2021

Au début des années 2000, la France décide de changer de méthode de recensement de la population. Elle abandonne le recensement traditionnel exhaustif pour le remplacer par une méthode inédite dans le monde, avec une enquête annuelle de recensement dans les grandes communes, le recensement ne restant exhaustif que pour les petites communes selon un rythme quinquennal. Comment expliquer un tel changement et quelles sont ses caractéristiques ? Quels problèmes soulèvent-elles ? En troisième lieu, il faudra examiner si le recensement français atteint ses objectifs initiaux affichés, puis envisager des améliorations possibles.

Pour une histoire des symbioses énergétiques et matérielles
Authors: Fressoz Jean-Baptiste
Published: January 2021

Avec l’urgence climatique, l’expression « transition énergétique » a acquis un tel prestige que les historiens en sont venus à l’employer pour décrire toutes sortes de processus, y compris ceux qui furent, à rigoureusement parler, des additions énergétiques. Le problème de la « transition énergétique » est qu’elle projette un passé qui n’existe pas sur un futur pour le moins fantomatique. Cet article propose une nouvelle façon d’aborder l’histoire de l’énergie en tant que dynamique d’accumulation symbiotique.
Entre crises et transitions : quel enseignement dispenser en santé publique ?
Authors: Harpet Cyrille
Published: January 2021

L’enseignement en santé publique est encore trop peu dispensé en dehors des spécialités professionnelles (médicales et non médicales). Pourtant, avec la crise actuellement traversée ‒ la Covid 19 ‒, ce champ d’intervention auprès des populations donne la pleine mesure des enjeux posés à nos sociétés. En outre, la santé environnementale, ce champ encore plus spécifique de la santé publique, est encore moins connue et enseignée. Or, les questions des risques pour la santé des populations ont bouleversé les sociétés anciennes et celles de notre modernité. Quel enseignement dispenser en santé publique pour anticiper des crises et assurer les transitions vers un modèle de soutenabilité ? En prenant la mesure des crises sanitaires et des crises écologiques, il est devenu urgent de construire un socle de connaissances à transmettre. Les pressions pesant sur l’ensemble des écosystèmes du fait des activités humaines destructrices ne sont plus seulement d’ordre écologique, mais sont également en lien avec la santé publique.
Éduquer en anthropocène à l’université, une perspective norvégienne
Authors: Brossard Børhaug Frédérique
Published: January 2021

Depuis 2016, le domaine universitaire en Norvège a pour objectif de transformer sensiblement son offre éducative en anthropocène. Plus particulièrement, les objectifs de ce partenariat inter-universitaire sont de transformer, en lien avec les ODD, les programmes et l’enseignement dispensé, d’axer la recherche sur ce nouveau thème et de sensibiliser les universités à leur responsabilité éthique et professionnelle. Ce travail a donné lieu à un rapport préliminaire en 2020 (SDG – Quality in higher education : Developing a platform for sharing of ideas and practices within the universities), dans lequel sont présentés les objectifs ainsi que les pratiques éducatives développés par sept universités et collèges universitaires. Mais la Norvège fait face à un profond paradoxe, celui d’être à la fois un pays producteur et exportateur d’hydrocarbures et de s’afficher en leader de la cause climatique sur la scène nationale et internationale. Cette polyphonie de prises de position doit amener à nous interroger sur l’offre éducative dispensée à l’université.
Du constat à l’action : quels enjeux recouvre la formation du monde professionnel aux transitions ?
Authors: Garda Jacques-Olivier
Published: January 2021

Réussir une transition, c’est « facile » : il suffit de déterminer le point d’arrivée, d’identifier les écarts avec l’existant et de les combler au travers de démarches adaptées, notamment la formation. Une conduite classique du changement semble tout à fait convenir. Cependant, Albert Einstein nous rappelle que l’« on ne peut pas résoudre un problème avec le même mode de pensée que celui qui a généré le problème ». Autrement formulé, la profondeur de l’analyse et du constat peut révéler la nécessité de changements bien plus profonds que ce qui était initialement imaginé. C’est à cet exercice que nous invite le présent article : remettre en perspective les enjeux d’un monde vivable et désirable, et les conséquences pratiques qui en découlent pour la formation des personnes en activité professionnelle et en situation de responsabilité.
Monitoring the Adherence to an Adapted Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline on Antiemetics in 669 Patients with Cancer Receiving 1451 Chemotherapy Doses at a University Oncology Center in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Al-Salloum Haya Fahad , Amer Yasser Sami , Alsaleh Khalid Abdulrahman
Published: January 2021

Objectives:

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common medication safety issue among cancer patients worldwide. However, there remains a research gap on adherence to the clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for antiemetic medications to prevent and treat CINV in Saudi Arabia. Further, the adherence to our center's CPG for antiemetics for CINV at our center was never quantified before. Therefore, this audit was designed as an implementation and quality improvement intervention to fill the knowledge gaps.

Methods:

We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional observational study of the adult cancer patients attending the University Oncology Center at King Saud University Medical City. Data were extracted from the electronic health records' database for patients receiving chemotherapy in the months of February and November 2017.

Results:

Among the 669 adult cancer patients who received 1451 chemotherapy doses at our center, nearly 48% of the antiemetic prescriptions adhered to our adopted CPG's recommendations. The adherence of prescribers was more likely to moderate emetogenic agents such as doxorubicin and ifosfamide as compared to the high emetogenic agents such as cisplatin and cyclophosphamide >1500 mg/m2.

Conclusions:

Adherence to the antiemetics for CINV-CPG was suboptimal due to the unavailability of neurokinin1-receptor antagonists (NK1) antagonists and the lack of knowledge by prescribers. NK1 antagonists should be available to maximize the level of cancer care. Regular physician's education and training sessions must be conducted to familiarize them with the CPG evidence-based recommendations.
Fibonacci's Mathematical Sequence Predicts Functional and Actual Lengths of the Phalanges of the Hand
Authors: Miller Andrew S. , Gwyn Rhodri , Bhattacharjee Dhritiman , Banks Louisa N.
Published: January 2021

Background:

Fibonacci described a mathematical sequence starting 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… where each sub sequential number is the sum of the two preceding numbers. The golden ratio (Phi, Φ = 1.618) is the ratio of two consecutive numbers in the sequence. Here, we investigate whether there is a relationship between these mathematical sequences or ratios and functional or actual lengths of the digits.

Methods:

Two hundred radiographs of the hand were reviewed by three independent reviewers (interobserver correlation r >0.98), and the actual and functional phalangeal lengths were measured.

Results:

Both the functional and actual lengths of the phalanges of the little finger followed Fibonacci's sequence. The index, middle, and ring fingers followed a mathematical sequence related to the Fibonacci's sequence. We were not able to demonstrate any direct relationship between phalangeal length and the golden ration (Φ). The sum of lengths of the distal and middle phalanx equals the length of the proximal phalanx with great accuracy.

Conclusions:

This is useful in many surgical situations (congenital deformities, polytrauma to the hands, and arthroplasty).
O IMAGINÁRIO COMO DIMENSÃO FUNDANTE DA PEDAGOGIA
Authors: Junges Claudete Teresinha
Published: January 2021

Este estudo tem o objetivo de refletir sobre o imaginário e a importância da sua centralidade na pedagogia, a partir de conceitos apresentados nas obras de Cornelius Castoriadis. A pesquisa teórica estruturou-se a partir dos conceitos que o autor teorizou relacionados a imaginário e educação. Evidenciamos, para situar a discussão, a constituição do pensamento do autor a partir de sua inextricável relação com o social-histórico, com um pensamento antitotalitário que permite emergir a criação, a partir do imaginário. Os resultados dessa reflexão, demonstram que o imaginário, tal como teorizado por Castoriadis, deve ser fundamento constitutivo dos pensares e fazeres pedagógicos, porque os sujeitos são constituídos e transgridem o que os constituiu, a partir da possibilidade humana do imaginário e isso pode ser potencializado por instituições como a Pedagogia, quando pressupõe a sua existência e considera em sua prática.

O texto problematiza reflexões sobre as reformas curriculares das licenciaturas antes e depois da BNCC, em particular na área de línguas estrangeiras, e como essas alterações tendem a uma precarização da formação docente por atender meramente aos conteúdos e as competências prescritivas da BNCC. Além disso, o artigo discute como a ausência do debate sobre as concepções de linguagem na formação docente pode impactar o ensino de línguas estrangeiras na escola, tendo em vista o cenário monolíngue e de (anti)políticas evidenciado na realidade educacional brasileira (SILVA JÚNIOR; ERES FERNÁNDEZ, 2019). Espera-se com este breve debate promover novos sentidos sobre a importância de uma formação docente preocupada com a diversidade, os saberes locais e o caráter político da docência.
Por una crítica de la microficción
Authors: BRAVO Federico
Published: January 2021

La presente introducción valora el alcance crítico de la microficción como concepto y cuestiona el estatuto paradójico del nanorrelato, a caballo entre la agudeza y la impostura artítica. Se propugna la existencia de un “suspense de la brevedad», suspense procesal centrado en los mecanismos de escritura, que integra el proceso de lectura –la exégesis misma del cuento– como parte de la ficción. Entre revolución e impasse estético, el famoso cuento monofrástico de Monterroso, compendio paradigmático de todas las paradojas de que se nutre el género, sirve de hilo conductor a la reflexión.
Lenguas de colibrí : Para una historia sucinta del microrrelato hispánico
Authors: VALLS Fernando
Published: January 2021

He pretendido trazar, en síntesis, la historia del microrrelato hispánico, analizando la denominación del género, sus rasgos más significativos, y aquellos otros que lo distinguen de géneros afines. También he querido llamar la atención sobre las estéticas predominantes, los autores, libros, antologías, y sobre algunas piezas concretas que a lo largo del tiempo han resultado destacables. Asimismo, en las últimas décadas, a los diarios, revistas y libros, se ha sumado la red, con los suplementos literarios, las páginas web y los blogs, lugares ideales para la difusión del microrrelato, un género nuevo que empieza a ser tenido en cuenta en las historias de la literatura más atentas.
Las Fronteras teóricas e históricas de la minificción
Authors: ZAVALA Lauro
Published: January 2021

En este trabajo considero como minificción cualquier texto breve de naturaleza literaria. A partir de esta definición general, en lo que sigue propongo estudiar varias fronteras de la escritura muy breve en la literatura contemporánea. Estas fronteras ponen en juego la naturaleza teórica e histórica de la minificción, y por eso mismo pueden ser estudiadas, respectivamente, como fronteras genológicas (o genéricas), genealógicas (o historiográficas) e instrumentales.

Las Transformaciones de las cosas comunes en el ensayismo español (1900-1930)
Authors: TEJADA Ricardo
Published: January 2021

En este artículo pretendemos demostrar que las transformaciones de las cosas y de los objetos en algunos ensayos escogidos del periodo comprendido entre 1900 y 1930 no solo son reflejo de los cambios socio-económicos producidos en España, sino que además son el síntoma de una transformación inherente al ensayo mismo, muy significativa. Es un nuevo estatuto de las cosas, cada vez más objetuales, el que surge a partir de 1916, en cierta forma ya a partir de 1914. Lo que se entiende por “común” y “vulgar” se metamorfosea en profundidad, adquiriendo cada vez más un valor de domesticidad y de intrascendencia simbólica, pero no funcional.
The Role of Outcome Unit Size in the Social Foraging Strategies of Rats
Authors: Alfaro Luis , Sanabria Federico , Cabrera Rosalva
Published: January 2021

The distribution of foraging strategies and associated activities of Wistar rats was examined, with food outcomes presented in small vs. large units. Groups of 4 rats foraged for food in a 4 x 3 array of covered holes, some containing 4 g of food. For some groups, food consisted of shelled sunflower seeds (small units); for other groups, food consisted of 3 pellets of chow (large units). Foraging strategies were classified as either production (seeking patches with food) or scrounging (tracking conspecifics). Production strategies were more common among groups that foraged for pellets instead of seeds. Producing food was highly correlated with contacting gates covering holes, whereas scrounging for food was highly correlated with following others in the group. The prevalence of activities associated with each foraging strategy was highly correlated with the proportion of time spent consuming food obtained from each activity (i.e., produced vs. scrounged food). Taken together, these findings suggest that, similar to other species, the finder’s advantage (low with small units, high with large units) modulates social foraging strategies in rats. A simple outcome-strategy feedback mechanism appears to mediate this modulation.
Domestication and the Role of Social Play on the Development of Sociocognitive Skills in Rats

Published: January 2021

Several studies on rats and hamsters, across multiple laboratories, have shown that limiting play in the juvenile period leads to adults that have physiological and anatomical changes in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and reduced socio-cognitive skills. Peers raised with playful peers have better socio-cognitive skills than animals raised with adult partners. Using Long Evans hooded rats - a commonly used domesticated strain - this relationship has been replicated multiple times. However, when the same paradigm was used with laboratory-reared wild rats, no differences were found between rats reared with peers and ones reared with adults. It has been shown that the key play-generated experiences involved are those related to actively wrestling with a partner and turn taking (as measured by role reversals), which give both partners opportunity to gain the advantage during play fighting. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that wild rat adults provide juveniles more such experiences than do adult Long Evans rats. The asymmetry in the play interactions in adult-juveniles pairs was compared between the two strains. As predicted, wild rat adults initiated more play with the juveniles, wrestled more and provided more opportunities for role reversals. The findings thus support the hypotheses for the observed strain differences in the effects of rearing condition on the mPFC.

The signature whistle of the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a well-studied acoustic signal know for broadcasting identity and maintaining contact with conspecifics. Several studies have investigated the use of this signal surrounding the birth of calves to dolphin social groups, although there appears to be discrepancies between the findings of these studies. We aimed to add to the current literature in an attempt to reconcile some of these inconsistencies through investigation of signature whistle production by a bottlenose dolphin group two months prior to and two months following the birth of a calf to one of the social group members. We found that the production of signature whistles matching the contour belonging to our dolphin mother increased significantly in both the pre- and post-partum period. Heightened production of the mother’s signature whistle type in the first week of our focal calf’s life supports the establishment of a recognition system within this time period. Given that learning processes associated with the sound environment appear to begin shortly after calf birth, we also explored the signature whistle rates of the other social group members in an effort to determine whether any signature whistle production influenced the development of the dolphin calf’s own signature whistle type. We found that the signature whistles of the other social group members were significantly lower than production of the mother’s signature whistle until after the first week post-partum. None of the signature whistle types appeared to influence the signature whistle development of our focal calf within the scope of this study, however, as the calf did not develop a signature whistle in her first two months of life.
Adaptive Neural Networks Accounted for by Five Instances of “Respondent-Based” Conditioning

Published: January 2021

Neural Networks may be made much faster and more efficient by reducing the amount of memory and computation used. In this paper, a new type of neural network called an Adaptive Neural Network is introduced. The proposed neural network is comprised of five unique pairings of events. Each pairing is a module and the modules are connected within a single neural network. The pairings are a simulation of respondent conditioning. The simulations do not necessarily represent conditioning in actual organisms. In the theory presented here, the pairings in respondent conditioning become aggregated together to form a basis for operant conditioning. The specific pairings are as follows. The first pairing is between the reinforcer and the neural stimulus that elicits the behavior. This pairing strengthens and makes salient that eliciting neural stimulus. The second pairing is that of the now salient neural stimulus with the external environmental stimulus that precedes the operant behavior. The third is the pairing of the environmental stimulus event with the reinforcing stimulus. The fourth is the pairing of the stimulus elicited by the drive with the reinforcement event, changing the strength of the reinforcer. The fifth pairing is that after repeated exposure the external environmental stimulus is paired with the drive stimulus. This drive stimulus is generated by an intensifying drive. Within each module, a “0” means no occurrence of a pairing A of Stimuli A and a “1” means an occurrence of a pairing A of Stimuli A. Similarly, a “0” means no occurrence of a pairing Band a “1” means an occurrence of a pairing B, and so on for all 5 pairings. To obtain an output one multiplies the values of pairings through E. In one trial or instance, all 5 pairings will occur. The results of the multiplications are then accumulated and divided by the number of instances. The use of these simple respondent pairings as a basis for neural networks reduces errors. Examples of problems that may be addressable by such networks are included.

Convergent validation of cognitive and metacognitive self regulation MSLQ scales
Authors: Cazan Ana-Maria
Published: January 2021

One of the most known instruments for the evaluation of self regulated learning strategies is the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The aspect of self regulation investigated in this research is cognitive self regulation. The purpose of this research is to estimate the convergent validity of the cognitive and metacognitive MSLQ scales, after their translation in Romanian. Our main hypothesis is that there is high level of overlapping between self regulation measured by MSLQ (The Motivated Strategies of Learning Questionnaire) and self regulation measured by ILS (Inventory of Learning Styles). The analysis of the two revealed moderately positive inter­correlation. Convergent validity showed that cognitive and metacognitive self regulation scales from MSLQ are able to measure students' learning strategies in a reliable and valid fashion.
