Authors:   Tecnológico Nacional de México, Rojas Agustín , Chung Peter ,   Tecnológico Nacional de México, Correa Dora ,   Tecnológico Nacional de México
Published: January 2022

Las ciudades enfrentan fenómenos naturales y antropogénicos que ponen en riesgo constante el bienestar y la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. Actualmente, se ha apostado por la propuesta de “resiliencia urbana” como la solución a estas situaciones. Algunas ciudades mexicanas han desarrollado acciones para aumentar su resiliencia. Los espacios públicos representan una oportunidad de ello; Ciudad de México, Ciudad Juárez y Colima incluyen en sus estrategias de resiliencia la importancia de generar espacios seguros y resilientes. Esta investigación tiene el fin de ayudar a las ciudades mexicanas a aumentar su resiliencia y mejorar la calidad de vida de sus habitantes, desde la perspectiva del espacio público. Se enfoca en los espacios públicos de tipo abierto destinados para la recreación, el deporte y zonas verdes, como parques, jardines, plazas o zonas de esparcimiento. Este trabajo utiliza como fundamento los indicadores del modelo de medición de la resiliencia en espacios públicos, basado en el City Resilience Index. Se desarrolla con una revisión a los marcos legales, de planeación e instrumentales aplicados a los servicios urbanos descritos en los indicadores. Finalmente, se obtiene como resultado un listado de recomendaciones basadas en la política pública nacional. Se contribuye a la construcción de resiliencia en los espacios públicos mexicanos, ya que se identifica a los servicios urbanos necesarios y sus características. Se establecen como necesarios en espacios resilientes los servicios de suministro de energía, suministro de agua potable, saneamiento de aguas residuales, gestión de residuos, movilidad y telecomunicaciones.
Habitabilidad un estudio desde la vivienda social en México como espacio habitado
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, de Hoyos Jesús , Albarrán Verónica ,   Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México
Published: January 2022

La relación entre el espacio habitado y el espacio edificado es una relación que se ha abordado tradicionalmente desde el paradigma de la habitabilidad. En la actualidad, para México se ha convertido en una condición sustantiva de investigación, como resultado de la producción de vivienda social basada en esquemas espaciales que no han favorecido la vida digna e inclusiva de amplios grupos de población en el país. El diseño se ha sujetado a restricciones de índole normativo imperante en las disposiciones a nivel estatal y local, así como las propias del Plan Nacional de Vivienda (PNV) y las políticas públicas habitacionales de México por más de 60 años. Es evidente la necesidad de estudiar a la persona y su cultura, así como su relación con el espacio que habita y el cómo lo habita, de modo que nos centraremos en el análisis del espacio habitado y el espacio edificado bajo las premisas del ser y del estar de la casa, tanto de la persona que habita, así como del habitáculo. Por tanto, el propósito es estudiar el habitar del ser y el estar, con la finalidad de valorar como influyen en la experiencia de habitar y la gestación de la habitabilidad como proceso que acontece en la relación interior y exterior. El artículo se desarrolla desde la dimensión conceptual y normativa: la primera se propone desde la identificación de las características del habitar-habitabilidad, en tanto que la segunda se propone a partir de un recorrido longitudinal como línea de tiempo.

Published: January 2022

El incremento de urbes pobladas y los actuales sistemas de drenaje potencializan la captación de agua de lluvia y su uso en agricultura urbana. El objetivo de este trabajo fue generar una metodología para estimar el volumen de captación de agua de lluvia para uso en agricultura urbana. Se estimó la superficie de dos techos urbanos con características contrastantes mediante imágenes obtenidas de la cámara transportada en un VANT. Se genera un modelo digital de superficie (MDS) y se identificaron los coeficientes de escurrimiento por subárea de captación. Con las normales climatológicas se calculó la precipitación media mensual. Se calculó el volumen de captación de agua de lluvia y se analizó su uso en el cultivo de lechuga. Los valores obtenidos de la estimación del volumen de lluvia a partir de las áreas de captación obtenidas del MDS y datos meteorológicos, permitió el análisis agronómico del cultivo.

Authors: Bele Martin
Published: January 2022

The subject of the present article are the Styrian court offices (marshal, chamberlain, seneschal, cup-bearer) that different officials held before the year 1311. Most of the holders of these offices were of noble origin, some of them were citizens of cities. Rare individuals held the same position multiple times (with intervals), which depended of the current political situation. The purpose of the research was mostly to make detailed lists of the office holders and to present them according to their geographical origin. The sources considering the offices in question are unsteady, consequently the outcome also differs from case to case.
Prvo jugoslovansko leto Slovencev – gospodarski ukrepi, razhajanja in negotovosti
Authors: Lazarević Žarko
Published: January 2022

The discussion deals with economic developments in 1919, the first year of the interwar period and the first Yugoslav year. In the case of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which is the subject of the analysis, the 1919 year was a complex process due to dynamics of transition to and establishment of new state. At the same time, the Habsburg monarchy was still very much alive in its concepts of regulating everyday private, social and economic life. The author analyzes these processes on the example of the eight-hour working day, agrarian reform, nostrification, war loans, currency reform and entrepreneurial practices in 1919.
Proces narodne sprave in vloga politične elite v njem: Slovenija kot izjema med državami srednje in vzhodne Evrope
Authors: Kleindienst Petra , Tomšič Matevž
Published: January 2022

The fundamental purpose of national reconciliation derives from recognition of the special nature of a human being, which makes them outstanding and excellent. Transitional justice processes have the main goal of achieving national reconciliation, which is connected with ensuring the highest possible realisation of human dignity. In this regard, Slovenia finds itself in a paradoxical position. Although usually perceived a successful former communist country, its process of introducing transitional justice was unsuccessful. This means the national reconstruction was not achieved in any meaningful way. The article deals with this paradox. The authors claim that the political elite plays a key role in the (non)implementation of transitional justice and hence has a decisive impact on national reconciliation. Accordingly, the primary reason for the lack of success of the national reconciliation is due to the reproduction of the elite and the ideological hegemony of the transitional left.
Anton Korošec in apostolski nuncij Ermenegildo Pellegrinetti: politični katolicizem, manjšinsko vprašanje in konkordat med Svetim sedežem in Kraljevino Jugoslavijo
Authors: Mithans Gašper
Published: January 2022

The article discusses some key political problems in Slovene and Yugoslav history through the relationship between Anton Korošec, a Catholic priest and one of the most prominent politicians of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia, and Ermenegildo Pellegrinetti, the apostolic nuncio in the first Yugoslavia. The analysis of memoirs and archival sources presents contextualised personal insights into the politicization of the Catholic Church and the activities of Catholic parties, including the issue of nationalisms, the anti-fascist action of Slovenes and Croats in Italy and the failed attempt to adopt a Concordat between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Holy See.
The role of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in cellular senescene
Authors: De Lime Filda Vionita Irene , Hardiany Novi Silvia
Published: January 2022

Cellular senescence is one of the defense mechanisms of cells against oncogenic signals by permanently stopping the proliferation of the cell. Senescence cells show a similar characteristic, one of them is senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASPs secrete various components, divided according to the type of molecule secreted and based on their mechanism of action against target cells. The main components of SASP are pro-inflammatory mediators. SASP performs dual and contradictory roles, which concurrently provides beneficial effects such as tumor suppression due to the termination of proliferation, recruitment of immune cells, and tissue repair. On the other hand, SASP produces detrimental effects on cells undergoing the senescence process as well as cells in the surrounding environment by increasing tumorigenesis. This review article explains the various components of the SASP, the role of SASP in the inflammatory process, tumor suppression, and tumorigenesis.

Chronic kidney disease is increasingly more prevalent worldwide, and kidney transplant remains the best option for patient survival. Living kidney transplants (LKT) pose advantages over deceased donor transplants, such as longer graft survival, lower ischemia time, and better HLA match. However, LKT is not always attainable for multiples reasons, with the absence of a suitable living donor being a significant barrier. Therefore, meticulous donor screening must be performed in order to guarantee donation safety. We examined medical appointments of living kidney donors evaluated at Hospital do Rim, São Paulo, between January and December 2020. Reasons for not proceeding with the donation were evaluated and were categorized as medical, surgical, immunological, psychosocial, or other. A total of 506 donor -receptor pairs were enrolled for evaluation during the study period. More than half of screened donor -receptor pairs (N=296, 58.5%) were not considered feasible for LKT. The primary cause for refusal was medical contraindication (32.1%), followed by immune (21.3%) and social (19.3%) causes. In addition, a considerable proportion of patients voluntarily withdrew themselves at variable time points during the evaluation process (N=79). In our center, most patients did not meet the criteria for kidney donation owing to medical reasons, similarly to other centers, and this reflects the importance of meticulous donor screening. In addition, the current Covid -19 pandemic affected the living transplant program, contributing to delayed complete donor and receptor evaluation.

Published: January 2022

Background: The SARS -CoV -2 infection has had a major impact on kidney transplant patients. Our single -center experience aims to analyze the risk factors for affected patient hospitalization and predictors of worse clinical outcome on admission. Material and methods: A retrospective cohort study with kidney transplant patients with positive PCR for SARS -CoV -19 between March 16th 2020 and February 11th 2021 was conducted. Demographic characteristics and clinical and laboratory information on admission was collected and analyzed to assess risk factors related to patient hospitalization and disease evolution. Results: Seventy -six kidney transplant recipients diagnosed with COVID -19 were included and divided into hospitalized (n=48) and non- -hospitalized (n=28) patients. Two hospitalized patients were not taken into account for the analysis due to a lack of data, and the remaining patients were divided into mild -moderate (n=25) and severe pneumonia (n=21). Lasso and multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that age (OR 1.041, p=0.039) and hypertension (OR 4.177, p=0.040) were risk factors for hospitalization, while time after transplant (OR 0.993, p=0.029) decreases the probability of being hospitalized. Analyses also revealed that SpO2 ≤92% on admission (OR 8.954, p= 0.026) and overweight/obesity (OR 13.453, p= 0.001) were related to a worse evolution and severe pneumonia among hospitalized recipients. Seven patients died due to COVID -19 complications. Conclusion: Age and hypertension are risk factors for hospitalization among positive COVID -19 patients, while time after transplant decreases the probability of being hospitalized. Overweight/obesity and levels of SpO2 ≤92% on admission were the main risk factors that could help to predict the severity of COVID -19 disease in our series.
The Metaphor in the Conceptualization of Innovation in Lim Kok Wing's Writings
Authors: Razali Nor Asiah , Md Rashid Sabariah
Published: January 2022

The concept of innovation is prevalent and has been discussed in varied disciplines and published in various documents, such as educational magazines, books, and blogs. One example of such documentation is the writing on innovation by the late Tan Sri Dr Lim Kok Wing, compiled in a book titled "The Future is Coming". In education, innovation is required to transform the education system to prepare future generations for an innovation-driven economy. This study examined the concept of innovation using metaphorical expressions in writing on innovation in education. Specifically, it aimed to unravel the metaphor in the writings and to examine how the unravelled metaphors reflect the conceptions of innovation in education. In total, 42 written texts on innovation were included as data of the study. The data were analyzed based on Lakoff and Johnson's Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The findings of the study revealed seven salient conceptual metaphors underlying the expressions related to innovation in education. These metaphors involve the mappings of the source domains of JOURNEY, WAR, OBJECT, HUMAN BEING, SPORT, BUILDING, and FORCE to the target domain of INNOVATION. The unravelled metaphors underlying the writings on innovation suggest that innovation is conceived as a long process, which requires careful planning. The findings of the study provide insights into how innovation is conceived using metaphor, reflecting the ideas of a renowned brainchild of innovation in education in Malaysia, Lim Kok Wing.
The Challenges of Ukraine’s European Choice in the Context of the Kremlin’s Neo-Imperialist Policies During Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Presidency
Authors:   The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Stępniewski Tomasz , Szabaciuk Andrzej
Published: January 2022

This article attempts to analyse the situation in Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian aggression and increasing pressure from the Kremlin towards Eastern European states. The armed confl ict taking place in Ukraine means that the geostrategic situation of Eastern Europe has changed. In this context, the Eastern Partnership, which was meant to be one of the key instruments shaping international relations with the states neighbouring the EU in the East, is quite often seen as an ineffective or even obsolete tool. There can be no doubt that the greatest problem for the Eastern Partnership is that the project is seen in geopolitical categories – thinking of the countries of the Eastern Partnership in the context of the necessity for them to choose between the European Union and Russia (listening to statements by the EU’s political decision-makers, it can often seem that those states have no other option). The key research question is whether we will be dealing with an assertive EU policy in tandem with current US policy, or whether there will be another reset in relations between the West and the Russian Federation.
The EU and Japan in the Process of Building Creative/Progressive Cultural Relations
Authors:   The Jagiellonian University, Gierat-Bieroń Bożena
Published: January 2022

The EU is promoting cultural relations with Asian countries. While building interpersonal and institutional connections, the EU pays special attention to Japan. The image of the EU and its mutual relations with Japan are generally recognised as predominantly good and trustworthy. This paper will examine the process of building creative/progressive cultural relations between the EU and Japan based on two hypotheses; fi rst: despite the fact that the EU tried to develop cultural relations within Japan, the embassies of the EU Member States are far more active in cultural programs than the EU Delegation; and secondly: the reception of the EU as a historic and cultural project is rather fragmented (as opposed to being holistic) in Japan. The aim of this research is to analyse, compare, and evaluate both the effort and achievements made by the EU and Japan in the process of building creative cultural relations. The research will demonstrate an analytical approach in the political sciences discipline.

Ileal Perforation after Intrauterine Device Insertion
Authors: Ghunaim Suleiman
Published: January 2022

The intrauterine contraceptive device is the second most popular form of contraception worldwide. Uterine perforations may rarely complicate intrauterine contraceptive device use and are believed to occur mostly at the time of insertion. In the majority of cases, perforations are not recognized by the operator and remain asymptomatic. In rare instances however, severe delayed complications involving adjacent organs may ensue. We report an unusual case of uterine perforation with bowel injury diagnosed two years after the insertion of a copper intrauterine contraceptive device. We aim to address the use of transvaginal sonography to confirm proper intrauterine contraceptive device placement following a technically challenging insertion, clinical surveillance, and prompt removal of an intraperitoneal intrauterine contraceptive deviceto prevent potential serious complications, such as bowel embedment. Keywords: Bleeding; Bowel injury; Contraception; Intrauterine contraceptive device; Uterine perforations. Abbreviations IUD: intrauterine contraceptive device; G2P2: Gravidity 2 Parity 2

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgical decortication (VATS Decortication) is one of the technique for treating empyema thoracis.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to assess radiologic and functional short-term outcomes of VATS decortication in comparison with open decortication among empyema thoracis patients.

Methodology: This comparative type of observational study was done at Department of Thoracic Surgery at National Institute of Diseases of Chest and Hospital (NIDCH), Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2018 to June 2019 for a period of one year. Patients with empyema thoracis in stage II or III were included. Short-term outcomes were measured according to collection of chest drain tube in post-operative observational days (PODs), post-operative lung expansion, time taken for chest drain tube removal, postoperative hospital stay and post-operative pain (numeric rating scale) observations up to discharge from hospital.

Result: A total number of 70 patients were recruited. The mean age was 36.20 ± 12.50 years. In post-operative phase apical chest drain tube collection followed by VATS procedure was found significantly lower than that of open decortication (2nd POD: p= 0.04; 3rd POD: p =0.039). Both the apical (p=0.001) and basal (p=0.039) chest drain tubes were removed earlier in patients with VATS decortication. Again, patients with VATS decortication had to stay less days in post-operative time (p=0.01). The mean post-operative pain scores was significantly higher among the patients underwent open decortication (p<0.001).

Conclusion: VATS decortication has shown better outcome in terms of collection of chest drain tube in post- operative days, time taken for chest drain tube removal, post-operative hospital stay and post-operative pain in managing patients with empyema thoracis.

Published: January 2022

Background: Bangladesh is one of the developing countries where the maternal mortality is extraordinarily high.

Objectives: This study was conducted to find out the number and cause of obstetric haemorrhage related maternal death.

Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the department of obstetrics & gynaecology at M.A.G Osmani Medical College Hospital, Sylhet, Bangladesh from January 2006 to December 2007. From all maternal deaths related to pregnancy occurred in that period, only death due to obstetric hemorrhage were enrolled. Thereafter, the records of hemorrhage related death patients were scrutinized and data were collected from death register. All necessary information was collected in a pre-designed clinical data sheet and analyzed.

Results: Among all deaths in obstetric unit, maternal mortality due to obstetric haemorrhage was 32.09%. The deaths were common among multipara (3-4) in 26-30 years age group. Most of them were from lower socio-economic condition having no or irregular antenatal checkup. Among the causes of obstetric haemorrhage, PPH was the commonest. Atonic uterus was the main cause of PPH. Injudicious use of oxytocin and obstructed labour were the common cause of rupture of uterus. Although the causes of haemorrhage were different, most of the patients died due to haemorrhagic shock.

Conclusion: This study helps to detect the magnitude of problem and major causes of maternal deaths specially haemorrhage related maternal deaths.

Pumice sand is a bright colored butian type, containing foam made from glass-walled bubbles andusually referred to as silicate volcanic glass granules. This pumice sand can be used as a substitutefor normal sand as fine aggregate in a mixture of concrete mix. Based on the characteristic testexamination, it can be seen that in testing the characteristics of pumice sand to the specificationsof normal sand in specific gravity testing and weight testing of quicksand obtained results thatare smaller than the specifications of normal sand and absorption tests obtained results greaterthan specifications on normal sand. The results of the normal sand compressive strength at BN is250.95 kg /cm2 while the results of the floating sand concrete compressive strength on BPA is224, 965 kg /cm2. Based on the research it can be concluded that with the same quality of concrete,the quality of K-250 is different in comparison to the compressive strength of concrete in normalsand and pumice sand concrete shows almost the same results. Therefore, more in-depth researchis needed regarding the use of pumice sand instead of normal sand in a mixture of concrete mix.

The position of Ki Hadjar Dewantara road is strategic location, where as an education center, office and residential center are often happened to increase in vehicle volume, especially during peak hour, consequently, this condition makes congestion on this road. There are ideas for road widening, moved side barriers and one.way traffic management, which are purposing to know traffic performance currently and generating a recommendation of traffic systems. By observations on traffic surveys were carried out on the road at 06.00 to 18.00 WIT. Traffic performance analysis is based on the 1997 Indonesia Road Capacity Manual (MKJI). The results of the Ki Hajar Dewantara road analysis showed a high level of side resistance with a value of degree of saturation (DS) in segment 1, which was 0.78, free flow speed of 31.2 km / hour, road capacity of 1953 pcu / hour. Furthermore, as an alternative solution the application of a one way system on the road section that showed a better performance with DS = 0.32 for west to east and DS = 0.22 east to west with a service level B category with stable current, speed slightly limited by traffic, the driver has enough freedom to choose a speed. The design for implementing this one-way system is good for solving problems.

The use of thin-walled structures as energy absorbers has been widely known and applied in various fields. Thin-walled structures have the ability to absorb energy very well at various levels of impact speed. In this study, an analysis of the behavior of thin-walled structures with aluminum cone-shaped was carried out. This structure has a length of 200 mm thickness of 2 mm with one end whose diameter is left to remain 50 mm and the other end is made varied; 50 mm, 64 mm, 84 mm, 104 mm and 124 mm. A pounder made of cube-shaped steel measuring 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm weighing 26.49 kg pounding the specimen at a speed of 10 m / s so that the kinetic energy is received is 1324.7 Joules. Deformation with certain patterns in thin-walled structures and the results of the simulation obtained are total deformation, bending pattern, and energy per unit length. From the five specimens, it was found that the thin tube had a longer deformation than the cone shape. But the cone's ability to absorb more energy is indicated by the amount of energy per unit length.

PLTU Tidore adalah pembangkit listrik yang berbahan bakar batu bara berkalori rendah untuk melayani kebutuhan listrik masyarakat khususnya di Kota Ternate dan Tidore. Dampak penggunaan batu bara menghasilkan limbah berupa fly ash dan bottom ash. Pada penelitian ini dicoba untuk menggunakan bahan bottom ash sebagai bahan pengganti parsial terhadap agregat pasir pada pembuatan paving block dan meneliti klas mutu yang dihasilkan. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian sifat fisik bahan bottom ash memiliki karakter yang lebih ringan dari pasir dan tingkat penyerapan diatas 20% yang 10 kali lebih banyak dari standar bahan untuk agregat normal. Sementara senyawa kimia dominan penyusun bottom ash memiliki kemiripan komposisi dengan bahan pasir dan juga bahan semen sehingga bahan bottom ash tidak memberikan pengaruh buruk terhadap reaksi semen saat pengadukan. Hasil pengujian kuat tekan sampel mortar paving block dengan variasi pengempaan 10 kN dan 40 kN diperoleh laju penurunan kemampuan tekan mortar berkisar antara 0,8 MPa hingga 5,3 MPa dengan nilai rata-rata sebesar 2,1 MPa setiap penggantian 10% bahan pasir dengan bottom ash. Begitu pula dengan tingkat penyerapan paving block yang dihasilkan mengalami peningkatan seiring dengan penambahan jumlah bottom ash pada pembuatan paving block. Akan tetapi meskipun dengan penggunaan bahan bottom ash pada pembuatan paving block menybabkan degradasi kemampuan tekan dan peningkatan peyerapan, paving block yang dihasilkan masih lebih dominan pada klas mutu B dan pengempaan dengan gaya yang lebih besar akan membuat massa paving block lebih padat lagi.

Jalan raya merupakan tulang punggung suatu kawasan dalam menyalurkan penumpang barang dan jasa, sehingga konstruksi badan jalan harus kuat dan tahan terhadap beban lalu lintas yang berlalu lalang setiap hari. Dalam penelitian ini dicoba penggunaan plastik sebagai alternative bahan tambah aspal beton. Kemasan minuman menggunakan botol plastik merupakan hal yang umum dewasa ini, limbah botol plastiknya banyak yang terbuang dan tidak dimanfaatkan, hal ini akan menambah beban bagi pemerintah dalam mendaur ulangkan sampah plastik, diharapkan penggunaan alternative bahan tambah plastik bekas botol minuman jenis PET tersebut selain dapat membantu pemerintah dalam mendaur ulang sampah plastik, juga dapat meningkatkan kualitas perkerasan aspal beton. Pada penelitian ini yang ditinjau adalah pengaruh penambahan plastik jenis PET sebagai bahan tambah pada campuran aspal beton terhadap karakteristik Marshall yang meliputi VIM, VMA, VFB, Stabilitas, Flow, dan Marshall Quotient. Hasil penelitian menenjukan bahwa karakteristik Marshall seperti nilai VFB dengan kadar aspal 4,5% (58,35) dan Flow (3,20) cenderung lebih rendah dari campuran aspal beton normal. Sedangkan nilai Marshall cenderung meningkat terdapat pada VIM, dengan kadar aspal 4,5% (3,20), stabilitas (1214,5) dan MQ (380,34) karna pengaruh penggunaan PET dan kadar aspal dalam campuran pada komposisi tertentu menunjukan kinerja yang baik. Berdasarkan spesifikasi Bina Marga 2010 didapatkan kadar aspal optimum 6%, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penambahan PET ke dalam aspal akan meningkat kualitas aspal dan sekaligus akan meningkatkan kulitas campuran beton aspalnya
