Morphological Processes of Foot Process Effacement in Puromycin Aminonucleoside Nephrosis Revealed by FIB/SEM Tomography
Authors: Ichimura Koichiro , Miyaki Takayuki , Kawasaki Yuto , Kinoshita Mui , Kakuta Soichiro , Sakai Tatsuo
Published: December 2018

Background

Foot process effacement is one of the pathologic indicators of podocyte injury. However, the morphologic changes associated with it remain unclear.

Methods

To clarify the developmental process, we analyzed puromycin nephrotic podocytes reconstructed from serial focused-ion beam/scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) images.

Results

Intact podocytes consisted of four subcellular compartments: cell body, primary process, ridge-like prominence (RLP), and foot process. The RLP, a longitudinal protrusion from the basal surface of the cell body and primary process, served as an adhesive apparatus for the cell body and primary process to attach to the glomerular basement membrane. Foot processes protruded from both sides of the RLP. In puromycin nephrotic podocytes, foot process effacement occurred in two ways: by type-1 retraction, where the foot processes retracted while maintaining their rounded tips; or type-2 retraction, where they narrowed across their entire lengths, tapering toward the tips. Puromycin nephrotic podocytes also exhibited several alterations associated with foot process effacement, such as deformation of the cell body, retraction of RLPs, and cytoplasmic fragmentation. Finally, podocytes were reorganized into a broad, flattened shape.

Conclusions

The three-dimensional reconstruction of podocytes by serial FIB/SEM images revealed the morphologic changes involved in foot process effacement in greater detail than previously described.

Chronic endometritis is an indication for the pregravid preparation
Authors: Savelyeva G. M. , Mikhalev S. A. , Konoplyannikov A. G. , Mikhaleva L. M. , Babichenko I. I. , Boltovskaya M. N.
Published: December 2018

The crucial role of chronic endometritis in the genesis of endometrial dysfunction has been currently established. The inflammatory process serves as a co-factor and leads to a decrease in the receptivity of the sex hormones of the endometrium due to impaired blood circulation of the tissue and fibrosis in the stroma of the endometrium.

This article is devoted to the study of the morpho-functional state of the endometrium in women of the reproductive age with abnormal uterine bleeding, in whom endometritis was diagnosed pathomorphologically, which is important for clarifying indications for the pregravid preparation in the future. A comprehensive examination of patients with abnormal uterine bleeding includes: bacterial culture (PCR) of the cervical canal and uterine cavity, hormonal profile, ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs and a complex histological examination of the uterine biopsy at the 7–10th and 19–21st days of the menstrual cycle, followed by immunohistochemical examination with the use of antibodies to the receptors of estrogens and progesterone, glycodelin, CD138, CD4, CD8, CD20.
A New Map of Pleistocene Proglacial Lake Tight Based on GIS Modeling and Analysis
Authors: Erjavec James L.
Published: December 2018

Glacial-age Lake Tight was first mapped by John F. Wolfe in 1942. Wolfe compiled his map from photographs of 50 USGS topographic maps, and used the 900-foot contour to delineate its shoreline. An estimate, as reported by Hansen in 1987, suggested an area of approximately 18,130 km2 (7,000 mi2) for the lake. Using a geographic information system (GIS) environment, an updated map of Lake Tight was developed employing the 275-meter (902-foot) elevation contour. Calculations now suggest the area of Lake Tight was 43 percent larger or approximately 26,000 km2 (10,040 mi2) and the volume approximately 1,120 km3 (268 mi3). The reconstruction of Lake Tight in a GIS creates a spatial analysis platform that can support research on the origin and development of the lake, the geologic processes that occurred as a consequence of the advance of the pre-Illinoian ice, and the origin of the Ohio River. The development of the upper Ohio Valley during the Quaternary Period remains one of the outstanding problems in North American geology. The details of the transition from the Teays River to Lake Tight, and from Lake Tight to the Ohio River, are poorly understood despite more than 100-years passing since the first significant study of those changes. A refined understanding of the area and depth of Lake Tight is essential but is complicated by fundamental unknowns—such as the location of the pre-Illinoian ice margin and the extent and consequence of isostatic flexure of the lithosphere due to ice-loading and lake-loading. Given the assumptions required for the model, the accuracy of both the raster data and the 1942 topographic maps, and the paucity of essential field data, mapping the lake shoreline at the widely cited 274.32-meter (900-foot) contour would not provide increased verifiable accuracy.
LA EDUCACION FISICA: CIENCIA, ETICA, POLÍTICA Y PEDAGOGIA. UN APORTE HISTORICO A LA IDENTIDAD DEL CAMPO

En este artículo se intentará conceptualizar a la educación física y brindar algunas referencias sobre su génesis. Entiendo que las concepciones sobre el cuerpo, los valores morales, los mandatos políticos, los argumentos científicos han ido conformando las ideas dominantes acerca de lo conveniente, adecuado, posible de realizar en las prácticas educativas vinculadas con el cuerpo. Pero que esas concepciones no sólo no son las únicas posibles, sino que van cambiando según las distintas alternativas estratégicas en diferentes momentos históricos.
RUMORES, RELACIONES Y PODER: LA APLICACIÓN DEL ENFOQUE DE REDES A UN EPISODIO JUDICIAL COLONIAL
Authors: Melean Marta
Published: December 2018

En el presente artículo se recurre a metodologías de análisis de redes, para determinar estrategias de poder a partir de un caso histórico. Podría definirse al poder como la capacidad de influir y cambiar el resultado de una decisión o acción. Puede ser formal, como el que conlleva la participación, en la función pública, o informal, como la influencia ejercida a partir de una red de relaciones. A mediados de 1743, la institución con mayor capacidad relacional de la colonia y, por ello quizá la más poderosa, la Compañía de Jesús recibía una donación en Catamarca, conflictiva desde su propia entrega, que provocaría una disputa entre partes, que se prolongaría por varias décadas. En este marco daremos cuenta de este conflicto. El incidente colocaba a la Compañía en una peligrosa encrucijada. Sus dos atributos principales, prestigio y patrimonio, se ponían en juego. En su defensa, los jesuitas apelarían a todos sus recursos disponibles pero, en especial, a la movilización de su red de relaciones personales tenían en su contra, un enemigo oscuro, escurridizo y errático, pero con fuerza suficiente como para hacerlos tambalear: el rumor. En una pequeña comunidad de elevada densidad, que compartía normas y valores homogéneos, donde la comunicación fluía velozmente, el rumor se transformaba en opinión pública y amenazaba directamente a los principales atributos de la Compañía. En una trama tan tensa y equilibrada, un solo hilo flojo podía quebrar la estructura. Algo impredecible e incontrolable, por lo solapado, amenazaba con echar por tierra la hegemonía de una institución tan poderosa. La orientación de este trabajo se dirije hacia la acumulación de poder y la posibilidad de que dicha acumulación se convierta (o no) en poder hegemónico.
Sobre la "triste igualdad". Las ideas de progreso, derecho y pueblo: la concepción de la historia de Carlos Norberto Vergara en El Instructor Popular.
Authors: Olalla Marcos
Published: December 2018

ResumenEntre los años 1883 y 1884, el pedagogo Carlos Norberto Vergara editó la Revista El Instructor Popular en la ciudad de Mendoza. Desde ella promovió la idea de la educación como operadora del progreso nacional y como factor relevante en el proceso de acrecentamiento de derechos. Deudor de la filosofía krausista, Vergara construye un lugar de enunciación en el que el discurso pedagógico funge como fuente de interpelación de la orientación de la política estatal mediante la invocación del “pueblo”, un agente cuya politicidad discurre en paralelo al despliegue de los dispositivos políticos del Estado.

El particular sujeto de la Psicología Cognitiva
Authors: Gómez Ana Elia , Olguín María Valeria
Published: December 2018

Desde los años 50 la psicología cognitiva, en su modelo del procesamiento de la información, se ha preocupado por comprender y explicar el modo en que los seres humanos razonamos. En estos años, a partir de un importante esfuerzo de orientación fuertemente empírica, se ha logrado reunir una gran cantidad de datos sobre la mente. En esta labor se delineó de manera tácita un modelo de sujeto al que rara vez se le ha prestado atención. En el presente trabajo nos propusimos revisar la concepción de sujeto que subyace a las explicaciones que se brindan en esta disciplina. Consideramos que dicha concepción genera importantes problemas en los procesos de investigación, tales como la elección de la muestra y, en consecuencia, las posibilidades de generalizar los resultados a la población. Desde nuestra perspectiva, en la medida en que la psicología cognitiva pueda resolver dichas dificultades, podrá potenciar su desarrollo futuro.
Dilemas en las políticas de memoria Tensiones en torno a la propuesta de demolición del monumento a Manchalá en la ciudad de Salta (2012 - 2013)
Authors: Ligarribay Victor Hugo
Published: December 2018

El presente trabajo se propone establecer un análisis comprensivo de los debates políticos e ideológicos surgidos a raíz de la propuesta de demolición del monumento al “combate de Manchalá”, promovidos por el Concejo Deliberante de la ciudad de Salta (Argentina) en el año 2012. Para esto, prestaremos especial atención a las ideas y perspectivas expresadas en las columnas de opinión y cartas de lectores del diario El Tribuno, principal diario de la provincia y portavoz de los actores contrarios al proyecto. Discutir Manchalá implica necesariamente revisar nuestra historia reciente: el rol del terrorismo de Estado en nuestra provincia, y la importancia de los medios de comunicación en la construcción de la memoria colectiva.
Honrar la ciencia / Honrar la vida

Decimos que la ciencia es una construcción histórica. Semejante afirmación requiere ser recorrida pensando en todos los rincones constitutivos de ella. En este trabajo se abordan peregrina e inagotablemente algunos resortes de la dialéctica ciencia-realidad-teoría-práctica-investigador-pueblo. De alguna manera es una invitación a continuar armando una “rompecabezas” que podría ser siempre retomado desde un des-orden deliberado.
Propiedad, apropiación y robo en torno a la autoría
Authors: Mombrú Ruggiero Andrés Antonio
Published: December 2018

El tema de la autoría no solamente plantea temas éticos y legales, también afecta de modo muy determinante las prácticas de docencia e investigación. Este trabajo trata de analizar la relación entre los conceptos de autoría, de propiedad, de lo propio –que es parecido pero no es lo mismo– y de las diferentes formas de “robo”, legal e ilegal que se perpetran en torno a la producción intelectual en el campo de las ciencias sociales y de las humanidades. Indaga sobre el modo en que ciertas tradiciones operan reproduciendo prácticas instituidas a nivel educativo y de la producción de conocimiento de modo asimétrico entre instituciones y docentes e investigadores, quienes suponen sustraerse de las relaciones de producción y las formas de dominio establecidas y sin embargo son atravesados por ellas.
Cómo juntar el agua y el aceite: metodología científica y hermenéutica según Roxana Ynoub
Authors: Ambrosini Cristina
Published: December 2018

Para la epistemología positivista y neopositivista, la simple asociación de los términos “hermenéutica” y “método científico” es un escándalo, cuanto menos, una contradicción, ya que no admiten que la hermenéutica cumpla con los requisitos de objetividad y contrastabilidad necesarios para validar las teorías científicas. En esta tradición logicista,la metodología de la investigación científica está marcada por la tendencia a privilegiar unas argumentaciones sobre otras, en la búsqueda de un único método que dirima la legitimidad de las teorías en el campo de las ciencias naturales y sociales mientras que, otra tradición, ligada a enfoques historicistas, propone la autonomía de las ciencias sociales o la postulación de otra forma del monismo metodológico, quizás tan reduccionista como el positivista, pero ahora sobre la base de la admisión de los enfoques hermenéuticos para todas las ciencias. Así es que aparecen las polarizaciones tradicionales entre ciencias duras y blandas, entre enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos, entre explicacionistas y comprensivistas y otros antagonismos que pueblan los manuales dedicados a estos temas.
Población ocupada, problemas de empleo, y condiciones de vida en Catamarca y Tucumán (1880-1970)
Authors: Osatnsky Ariel
Published: December 2018

A comienzos del siglo XXI, la provincia de Catamarca se distinguía de las restantes del Noroeste Argentino (NOA) por sus menores niveles de pobreza (Bolsi et al., 2009), mientras que Tucumán, con una economía de mayor magnitud, tenía un porcentaje superior de hogares pobres. Diversos trabajos muestran de qué forma Tucumán experimentó en las décadas de 1980 y 1990 transformaciones económicas más regresivas y un mayor deterioro laboral que Catamarca (Osatinsky, 2009; 2012; 2013; 2013a). Sin embargo, Tucumán, que había tenido desde fines de siglo XIX la economía más dinámica de la región, y Catamarca, con una estructura productiva tradicional y muy rezagada, tenían a comienzos de la década de 1980 niveles cercanos de pobreza estructural2.En ese sentido, el objeto de este artículo es analizar los cambios más relevantes que experimentaron las poblaciones ocupadas de ambas provincias, los problemas de empleo que sufrieron, y el impacto que tuvieron en las condiciones de vida en ese largo período.Se parte del supuesto de que las dificultades laborales constituyen un importante componente del vínculo que existe entre la economía y la pobreza.Estas provincias tuvieron en el tiempo un desarrollo económico disímil. Durante el siglo XVIII y las primeras décadas del XIX Catamarca y Tucumán tuvieron rasgos comunes como ser la diversificación que caracterizaba sus producciones, y cierto dinamismo en las relaciones comerciales. Siendo de mayor dimensión la economía tucumana, labrecha que la separaba en lo productivo de Catamarca no era tan grande.Sin embargo, a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, mientras que Tucumán experimentó una penetración más profunda de las formas de producción capitalistas, Catamarca conservó una estructura más tradicional en su economía.Las diferencias no se restringen al plano económico. Mientras que Catamarca posee una superficie de 102.602 km², su población en el período bajo estudio, no alcanzó a 200.000 habitantes. Por el contrario Tucumán, en una superficie de 22.24 km², tenía a mediados del siglo XX casi 600.000 habitantes, superando los 700.000 desde 1960, siendo la provincia con mayor densidad de la región. El artículo posee diversos apartados, que se corresponden con el estudio de los aspectos socioeconómicos mencionados en la etapa del modelo agroexportador, y en las distintas fases de período de industrialización sustitutiva de importanciones.
El uso de fuentes literarias e historias de vida como recursos para la investigación social cualitativa Una lectura microsociológica de La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes
Authors: Piñeiro Javier Andrés
Published: December 2018

El presente artículo se propone trabajar el cruce entre literatura y ciencias sociales desde una perspectiva epistemológico–metodológica. Nuestra exposición tiene por principal objetivo destacar el valor que  reviste para la investigación social cualitativa el recurso a historias de vida y obras literarias realistas (o costumbristas) como fuentes documentales a partir de las cuales es posible hacer una reconstrucción de los imaginarios, de la cultura, y de las características del orden social y de la vida cotidiana de una época y de un lugar. Para ello, realizaremos una lectura crítica de fragmentos escogidos de un producto cultural –la obra literaria La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes– a partir de supuestos, categorías y procedimientos prototípicos que pone en juego la teoría social que prioriza la perspectiva del sujeto. Por medio del análisispropuesto pretendemos entrar en el mundo de la vida cotidiana de los sectores sociales marginales de la España del siglo XVI, y señalar cómo a partir de las prácticas cotidianas de personajes histórica y socialmente situados se hace posible revelar algunas características distintivas del orden social vigente.
Situaciones que facilitan o dificultan la escritura de tesis de posgrado

Estudios sobre maestrandos que aprueban todos los cursos, pero no obtienen su título o tardan demasiado en ello, muestran que el cuello de botella se concentra en la elaboración de la tesis, o que al llegar la tesis se produce la deserción en el posgrado, debido al insuficiente acompañamiento durante el proceso de formulación y escritura de la tesis. Los datos reafirman la necesidad de realizar cambios organizacionales en las maestrías, y se describen escenarios facilitadores para la escritura de las tesis en Argentina y Colombia.
Italo Calvino y un caso de inconmensurabilidad Entender a Kuhn mediante un cuento
Authors: Padlubne Rubén
Published: December 2018

Desde los tiempos de la Grecia clásica se utilizaron formas ficcionales para hacer y enseñar filosofía. Así, por ejemplo, una y otra vez nos remitimos al mito de la caverna.Más allá de la ubicación de fronteras entre ambos universos conceptual- discursivos,resulta claro que la literatura es una herramienta fértil para pensar problemas filosóficos porque los textos con estatuto ficcional suponen teorías. Estos textos muestran el doble carácter de la ficción: lo empírico y lo imaginario, y, si son importantes, se sumergen en la turbulencia de lo real desdeñando la actitud ingenua.

Methods of the Synthesis of Silicon-Containing Nanoparticles Intended for Nucleic Acid Delivery
Authors: Levina A.S. , Repkova M.N. , Ismagilov Z.R. , Zarytova V.F.
Published: December 2018

A promising new approach to the treatment of viral infections and genetic diseases associated with damaged or foreign nucleic acids in the body is gene therapy, i.e., the use of antisense oligonucleotides, ribozymes, deoxyribozymes, siRNA, plasmid DNA, etc. (therapeutic nucleic acids). Selective recognition of target nucleic acids by these compounds based on highly specific complementary interaction can minimize negative side effects, which occur with currently used low molecular weight drugs. To apply a new generation of therapeutic agents in medical practice, it is necessary to solve the problem of their delivery into cells. Silicon-containing nanoparticles are considered as promising carriers for this purpose due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, ability to biodegradation and excretion from the body, as well as the simplicity of the synthesis and modification. Silicon-containing nanoparticles are divided into two broad categories: solid (nonporous) and mesoporous silicon nanoparticles (MSN). This review gives a brief overview of the creation of mesoporous, multilayer, and other silicon-based nanoparticles. The publications concerning solid silicon-organic nanoparticles capable of binding and delivering nucleic acids into cells are discussed in more detail with emphasis on methods for their synthesis. The review covers publications over the past 15 years, which describe the classical Stöber method, the microemulsion method, modification of commercial silica nanoparticles, and other strategies.
Relaxation of the Energy of Optically Excited States in the Carbon Quantum Dots
Authors: Kumekov S.E. , Saitova N.K.
Published: December 2018

Recently, in connection with the achievement of new technological opportunities for fabrication nanostructured carbon-containing objects, namely, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and clusters, studies of their various physical properties have been intensively carried out. Investigation of the photoluminescence (PL) properties of these objects have revealed a number of unique features: a wide structureless band of the radiation in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the spectrum, the fluorescent kinetics of the luminescence decay, and the independence of the longwavelength edge of the band on the excitation quantum energy. Similar features of PL are observed early in the different nanostructured carbon-containing materials. A common structural feature of the different nanostructured carbon-containing materials, such as CQD, liquid and solid aromatic hydrocarbons, amorphous hydrogenated carbon films, natural biopolymer – collagen is the existence of carbon sextets-aromatic rings connected by Van der Waals forces. This representation of the structure made it possible in the present work to develop a dimer-excimer model of radiative processes in the CQD. The studies are related to the prospects of application due to the unique combination of a number of key properties including tunable photoluminescence, important for the development of tunable lasers, biomedical applications where photostability, biocompatibility, molecular dimensions are essential to allow chemical connection with any biomolecule without compromising its functions. Further development of the theory of PL mechanisms in the CQD can help to identify other important features of the studied objects that will be of fundamental and practical importance.
NMR-Spectrometric Determination of the Fragmented Oil Composition from the Karazhanbas and Zhangurshi Oil Deposits
Authors: Bodykov D.U. , Seilkhanov T.M. , Nazhipkyzy M. , Toylybayev A.S. , Salakhov R.
Published: December 2018

The methods of 1 H, 13C NMR-spectroscopy were used to study the fragmentary compositions of oil from the Karazhanbas, Zhangurshi deposits (Kazakhstan) and heavy oil residues obtained before and after the electrohydraulic effect of water hammer after topping a light fraction of oil products. Their fragmentary composition were determined by the value of integrated intensities of 1 H, 13C NMR signals of the oil under study. The obtained results have shown that the composition of oil samples understudy includes terminal CH3-groups of long alkyl chains having a value of 0.87 ppm. The presence of long alkyl chains of oil components imparts a high viscosity and bituminous consistency to the latter. The content of aromatic protons according to the integrated intensities of 1 H NMR in both oil samples does not exceed 2.08%; but there are no aromatic nuclei by the integral intensities of carbon atoms at all. The low content of protons of Hα-type in hydrocarbon crude (5.2–5.3%) indicates a low content of aromatic and carbonyl carbons as well as heteroatoms in the studied samples. The content of the greater proportion of protons of the Hγ-type in Karazhanbas oil (33.0%) compared to the Zhangurshi oil (23.8%) indicates a greater length of aliphatic hydrocarbons of the latter and its increased viscosity.
Genealogi Kajian Hadis Ulama al-Banjari
Authors: Hanafi Hanafi
Published: December 2018

Since the 16th century, Middle East became a scientific destination for the scholars of Nusantara. The network of Middle Eastern scholars has contributed greatly to the development of various Islamic intellectual traditions in the archipelago, even the case happened in Banjar society. In the process of transmitting scholars, the scholars of al-Banjari (scholars from Banjar, South Kalimantan) are heavily influenced by Islamic ideas derived therein, including kalam, jurisprudence, tasawwuf, and hadith studies. This article will prove to what extend the influence of Middle Eastern scholars on the development of intellectual traditions of al-Banjari scholars in the study of hadith is. The research method in this paper is by reading the primary sources, in the form of Hadith texts by al-Banjari scholars, and then the genealogy of the sanad and their Hadith diplomas connected with the scholars of hadith study in the Middle East. The reading of the sanad and the certificate will prove that their scholarship is connected to authoritative scholars of hadith. Al-Banjari scholars who became the research object is a scholar from the tribe of Banjar which has a script in the field of hadith or hadith study using Arabic or Malay Arabic. From the standardization used, seven scholars became the object of the research, namely Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari, Muhammad Kasyful Anwar, Muhammad Anang Sya’rani Arif, Abdul Wahid, Muhammad Syukeri Unus, Fahmi Zamzam, and Muhammad Nurdin Marbu.

FAMILY QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE BUILDING OF SOCIAL CONNECTIONS: PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR PRACTICE AND POLICY
Authors: Edwards Meaghan , Parmenter Trevor , O'Brien Patricia , Brown Roy
Published: December 2018

Family quality of life literature suggests that families with a member with an intellectual/developmental disability frequently face major difficulties in building social connections with others. They experience low levels of social support, face challenges in community inclusion, and are at risk of social isolation. These challenges may also be faced by other types of marginalized families. Families experiencing serious illness, families experiencing intrafamily violence, and migrant families or those seeking political asylum, for example, may also become isolated and find themselves without pathways to connections with others. We present practical suggestions intended for families and professionals interested in action and intervention at the personal, community, program, and policy levels to encourage the growth of social connections and prevent isolation of families experiencing social exclusion. The suggestions will come from families with a member with a disability and the findings of a study examining the social support of families as it relates to quality of life.
THE EXPERIENCES OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES AND PRIMARY CAREGIVERS ON THE SOCIAL INCLUSION OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES IN ETHIOPIA
Authors: Tefera Belaynesh , Schippers Alice , Van Engen Marloes , Van der Klink Jack
Published: December 2018

This article presents the findings of a qualitative study on the social inclusion of children with disabilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and how this affects their achievement of valued life goals. The study is based on focus group discussions with children with disabilities and primary caregivers of such children. The thematic analysis is based on family quality of life and the capability approach, which are used to explain the effects of social inclusion (and exclusion) on children with disabilities and their families in three areas of quality of life: being, belonging, and becoming. The study also looked at how the social inclusion of children with disabilities can be actualised. The results of the study confirm the existence of considerable challenges to the social inclusion of children with disabilities in Addis Ababa, which is reflected in their capabilities. The results suggest that children with disabilities need assistance and support to achieve a good quality of life. They also indicate the need for the involvement of the wider community to support children with disabilities and their families to enhance the capability of such children, and so improve their family quality of life.

Authors: Dengechi Bizuayehu , Worku Nigatuwa , Mikre Fisseha
Published: December 2018

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between perceived discrimination and psychological well-being of Manjo ethnic minority in Kaffa zone, Ethiopia. One hundred and forty nine (149) study participants from the Manjo ethnic minority were randomly selected and filled out the perceived discrimination and psychological well-being questionnaire scales. Pearson Product moment correlation was computed to determine the strength and direction of relationship between their perception of discrimination by others and the psychological well-being report. Perceived discrimination is a variability of thought that results from an act of segregation and distancing of an individual or group of individuals mainly because of bias and prejudice. The psychological well-being variable was measured by six dimensions, which are named as autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, positive relationship with others, purpose in life and self-acceptance of individuals. The result of the study showed the presence of a strong and significant negative correlation between the Manjos’ perception of discrimination they experience from other ethnic groups and the corresponding psychological well-being state.
Un análisis crítico de las relaciones económicas internacionales cubanas durante la presidencia de Raúl Castro (2008 - 2018)
Authors: Fernández Hellmund Paula , Romero Wimer Fernando
Published: December 2018

En la década de 1990, el gobierno cubano dio inicio a una serie transformaciones estructurales que, si bien mantuvieron logros sociales alcanzados desde el comienzo de la Revolución iniciada en 1959, también implicaron modificaciones significativas en las relaciones sociales de producción y los alineamientos internacionales. A partir de 2008, los cambios se profundizaron con la asunción de Raúl Castro como presidente, implicando modificaciones tanto en el ámbito económico interno como en la política exterior cubana. Este artículo se propone examinar críticamente cómo evolucionaron las relaciones económicas internacionales cubanas durante su período presidencial que finalizó el 18 de abril de 2018, cuando fue sucedido por Miguel Díaz-Canel. En este sentido, se trata de una investigación interdisciplinaria que aborda una problemática común a la Historia reciente, la Economía Política, y las Relaciones Internacionales. Asimismo, se han utilizado la triangulación de datos a través de la convergencia de los enfoques cualitativo y cuantitativo, buscando comprender las distintas facetas del fenómeno en cuestión. El análisis realizado nos permite concluir que el ingreso de capitales foráneos al país, principalmente de Venezuela, China y España en el periodo bajo estudio, incide en la reconfiguración de las relaciones internacionales de Cuba (alianzas, cooperación y apertura al comercio de ciertos orígenes) y está generando cambios en las relaciones sociales de producción.
Reflexiones de la investigación de mercados en México: crecimiento e inversión
Authors: Castrejón Mata Carmen
Published: December 2018

El presente trabajo se realizó a partir de una revisión bibliográfica con un enfoque teórico sobre la investigación de mercados en México que ha sido utilizada como una herramienta que ha permitido desde diferentes enfoques identificar las necesidades de los consumidores desde el punto de vista lucrativo y no lucrativo. Se hace referencia a un estudio que fue hecho por dicha industria de la investigación de mercados en México durante un periodo de desarrollo importante por su crecimiento, así como de aquellas que realizan la investigación de mercados y la opinión pública, además de la importancia que tiene esta en la comercialización de sus productos. Un aspecto importante que se menciona es la importancia que tiene la investigación de mercados en el estudio sobre el comportamiento del consumidor, que de manera particular se estudia en el país de manera amplia, desde sus estilos de vida, las influencias culturales y los procesos de aculturización en esos consumidores que los hace adquirir productos ajenos a su cultura. También se plantea la utilización de la investigación de mercados desde los dos enfoques antes mencionados (lucrativo y no lucrativo) que resultan estratégicos en las organizaciones económicas y sociales. Además, se analiza la investigación de mercados y el papel que ha jugado en México, la inversión en esta industria y el crecimiento que en el corto y mediano plazo ha logrado, también la importancia que esta tiene en las decisiones administrativas en una organización.
La incidencia local de las organizaciones de la economía social y solidaria: aportes desde una perspectiva relacional
Authors: Segura Castro Óscar
Published: December 2018

El presente artículo ofrece una ventana para comprender más ampliamente el fenómeno de las organizaciones de la Economía Social y Solidaria (ESS), particularmente cómo estas se relacionan con sus entornos más próximos. El punto de partida se ofrece desde una perspectiva teórica que aporta a una comprensión sistémica del fenómeno empresarial. Lo anterior logra articularse con las particularidades del fenómeno empresarial propiamente asociativo, que por sus cualidades se conecta de un modo particular en el espacio local. Así, resulta relevante precisar que las organizaciones de la ESS, por su habitual arraigo no se instalan, sino que surgen desde el territorio. La actividad productiva no se realiza en el vacío, sino que la realizan personas concretas vinculadas en un determinado espacio. Esto deja observar que los efectos de la actividad productiva no son accidentales, sino que están marcados por condiciones previas que son estructurales. Cómo afecta una organización su entorno, tendría que pasar primero por preguntarse cómo participan las personas que habitan ese entorno de esa organización, o sea, del tipo que esta sea. De esto se sigue observar las formas en las que dicha relación se materializa, pues ello permite comprender y dar cuenta del efecto de la actividad productiva, pero también hace posible comprenderlo más allá de lo habitualmente entendido como “económico”. Esto, que es una suerte de aporte propiamente metodológico, no sería posible sin una particular lectura teórica y epistemológica del fenómeno empresarial en general y del empresarial asociativo en particular.

Published: December 2018

Decision analysis of Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) model is used to assess the performance, not only in a rank but also in a plan of marketing strategy as an effort to increase consumers’ satisfaction by combining DEMATEL-based Analytical Network Process (DANP) method and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. One of the industrial services in the education nowadays is the services of the Guidance Learning (LBB). This article has 3 alternatives to 6 criteria. The questionnaire was distributed to 80 LBB’ students and 55 LBB’ mentors. The result of the dominant criteria affecting customer satisfaction of LBB in Malang by DANP method is the mentor quality. Meanwhile, the TOPSIS result showed that the LBB of Avicenna Education Malang is the best alternative to the marketing strategy..

Authors: Muharisa Catrin , Yanuar Ferra , Devianto Dodi
Published: December 2018

The purposes of this paper is  to introduce the ability of the Bayesian quantile regression method in overcoming the problem of the nonnormal errors using asymmetric laplace distribution on simulation study. Method: We generate data and set distribution of error is asymmetric laplace distribution error, which is non normal data.  In this research, we solve the nonnormal problem using quantile regression method and Bayesian quantile regression method and then we compare. The approach of the quantile regression is to separate or divide the data into any quantiles, estimate the conditional quantile function and minimize absolute error that is asymmetrical. Bayesian regression method used the asymmetric laplace distribution in likelihood function. Markov Chain Monte Carlo method using Gibbs sampling algorithm is applied then to estimate the parameter in Bayesian regression method. Convergency and confidence interval of parameter estimated are also checked. Result: Bayesian quantile regression method results has more significance parameter and smaller confidence interval than quantile regression method. Conclusion: This study proves that Bayesian quantile regression method can produce acceptable parameter estimate for nonnormal error.
Professional Skepticism: Practitioners’ Perceptions And Training Practices
Authors: Gissel Jodi L.
Published: December 2018

While regulators criticize auditors for lacking appropriate professional skepticism (SEC, 2010, 2013; PCAOB, 2012), auditing standards lack a clear, consistent definition (Nelson, 2009; Hurtt, Brown-Liburd, Earley, & Krishnamoorthy, 2013), leaving application of professional skepticism “open to interpretation” (Glover & Prawitt, 2013, p. 2). If individual auditors view professional skepticism as open to interpretation (i.e., subjective), auditors may believe they are appropriately applying standards on professional skepticism based on their individual interpretations. However, if regulators apply a different definition of professional skepticism when reviewing auditors’ work, this may help explain ongoing criticisms from regulators stating auditors lack appropriate professional skepticism. The author reports insights of 66 auditors’ perceptions and finds the majority believe professional skepticism has a subjective (as opposed to uniform) definition. This finding is consistent across auditor rank and firm size, suggesting the potential for variations in application of professional skepticism in practice. Supplemental analyses indicate tax practitioners are more likely than auditors to view professional skepticism as subjective, particularly at the partner rank. The author presents professional skepticism training practices for 25 firms that suggest most firms recognize the importance of professional skepticism training and its regular reinforcement. However, there are concerns surrounding the fact that mentoring is listed as the most common training method, which lacks benefits of more formal training activities. Overall, this study provides relevant insights from practitioners and strengthens recent calls for developing a “common definition and shared understanding” of professional skepticism and a framework for evaluating application of professional skepticism (Glover & Prawitt, 2014, p. 5-6).

Ethnobotanical relevance: Local alcoholic beverages “Atikédi” are produced in Lomé and consumed not only for pleasure but also for therapeutic purposes. They are produced out of “Sodabi”, distilled palm wine, mixed with plant organs. However, the exact composition of these beverages and the diseases they are supposed to treat are poorly documented to date in Togo. Aim of the study: To make an inventory of plants used by “Atikédi” beverages producers in Lomé. Materials and methods: Data collection was made through Semi Structured Interview. Data processing and analysis were done using Excel and Epi Info. Results: 267 outlets were identified with a predominance of stores (53.18%). 192 women and 75 men were interviewed. They belonged to 12 different ethnic groups with the majority being Ewe (127) and Ouatchi (71). Their age range varied from 25 to 70 years with an average of 42.6±7.9 years. 61 plants species were recorded belonging to 58 genera and 35 families. The most represented family was the Apocynaceae with five species followed by the Rutaceae and the Poaceae with four species each. Among 43 diseases managed by the plants, bacterial infections (ICF=0.95) and sexual weakness (ICF=0.95) were the most important pathologies. Conclusion: Producers of “Atikédi” used a wide range of medicinal plants. Pharmacological and toxicological studies of these plants will improve the quality of care provided by traditional medicine.

An ethnobotanical study with phytochemical screening of some Pteridophytes was carried out in the classified forest of Yapo-Abbé in the south of Côte d'Ivoire, in the Agboville Department, precisely in the subprefecture of Azaguié. The objective of this study was to show the different uses of the Pteridophytes of this forest. The approach method is an ethnobotanical survey carried out among the populations of the study area. This survey consisted in drafting a questionnaire beforehand to apprehend the multiple uses of Pteridophytes among the surrounding population and to develop a photo album of Pteridophytes to be presented during the interview. The data collection was carried out using the semi-structured interview method and with the help of an interpreter guide. It identified 19 species of Pteridophytes including six (6) species used as medicinal plants. No other use of these taxa was mentioned. The whole plant is the most solicited or 73.33% for the preparation of medicinal recipes. Various methods of preparation such as decoction (33.3%), kneading (33.3%), softening (20%) and use in the fresh state (13.3%) are used for recipes. single species. There are also different modes of administration of phytomedicaments: drink (42.85%), local application (37.71%), mastication (7.14%) and massage (7.14%). The phytochemical sorting performed on the hydroethanolic extracts revealed that the different drugs of these plants contain sterols, polyterpenes, polyphenols, European Scientific Journal November 2018 edition Vol.14, No.33 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 174 flavonoids, catechin tannins, alkaloids and quinones which give them various therapeutic properties.
