Evaluación de lesiones de la columna cervical en pacientes con politraumatismos, en el Servicio de Urgencias
Authors: Frank Sofía , Cavallaro Romina , Sánchez Sergio , Tulli Alberto , Griglio Alejandro , Koll Federico
Published: February 2021

Introducción: Tradicionalmente se ha recurrido al examen clínico-neurológico y a los estudios por imágenes para identificar lesiones de la columna cervical en pacientes con politraumatismos. En diferentes centros de trauma, la evaluación inicial de estos pacientes incluye un examen clínico-neurológico más radiografías obligatorias, independientemente de una semiología normal, en un paciente despierto y consciente. Esto se debe a la creencia de que el examen clínico es insuficiente para detectar estas lesiones.

Materiales y Métodos: Se trata de un estudio transversal y observacional para determinar la sensibilidad y la especificidad de la evaluación clínica para el diagnóstico de lesiones de la columna cervical comparadas con las de los estudios por imágenes, en un período de 22 meses, en un Servicio de Urgencias.

Resultados: Durante este período, se asistió a 127 pacientes. El examen físico neurológico fue normal en 101 pacientes, ninguno tenía una lesión constatada en las radiografías o las imágenes tomográficas. Veintiséis pacientes refirieron dolor a la palpación de las apófisis espinosas; en 6 de ellos, se constató una lesión de la columna cervical con la tomografía. La sensibilidad del examen físico fue del 100% y la especificidad, del 83%. La tasa de falsos positivos fue del 17% y no se registró ningún falso negativo.

Conclusiones: Los datos de este estudio demuestran que la mayoría de los estudios por imágenes, radiografías o tomografías computarizadas podrían disminuirse, sin perder la sensibilidad del diagnóstico de lesiones de la columna cervical, reduciendo así los costos de la atención.Nivel de Evidencia: IV

Aprovechamiento del recurso hídrico en Costa Rica: El caso de los Acueductos Municipales
Authors: Hernandez Cruz Orlando Josue , Fernandez Ramirez Marie Laura
Published: February 2021

El propósito de este artículo es dar a conocer los resultados sobre el aprovechamiento del recurso hídrico por parte de los acueductos municipales en Costa Rica. Estos resultados son parte de una investigación que se realizó como seminario de graduación para la Escuela de Administración Pública. Aunque se reconoce la importancia de siempre tener presente el concepto de la gestión integral del recurso hídrico, en esta oportunidad se presentan solo los resultados sobre el aprovechamiento en función de la cobertura y cantidad, la calidad y el costo, y la cultura hídrica.

De los resultados principales, se resalta una cobertura limitada para estos acueductos municipales, la falta de mejoras en la medición para determinar el aprovechamiento real del recurso hídrico y, aunque se cuenta con buenos estándares de calidad, hace falta mejorar las tarifas y cobros para dar sostenibilidad a los sistemas de acueductos. En cuanto a cultura hídrica, se tienen resultados interesantes donde se denotan avances importantes tanto por parte de los acueductos municipales, así como en relación con el involucramiento de la ciudadanía.

En conclusiones, faltan detalles por afinar en los acueductos municipales en cuanto al modelo de gestión, sin embargo, se debe tomar con mucha seriedad realizar inversiones en infraestructura, redefinición de la manera con la que se calculan y/o recaudan las tarifas para poder dar sostenibilidad, además de adquirir instrumentos de medición que permitan dar cuenta del aprovechamiento real que se tiene de este recurso.

Authors: Ramírez Aceves Merizanda , Mejía López Marcos , Morales-Fajardo María Esther
Published: February 2021

Los centros de documentación son espacios difusores de la información organizada y especializada para usuarios. Sin embargo, tanto la adecuada planeación como la edificación de estos espacios no cuentan con una normativa específica en México. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las características que deberían cumplir y el proceso constructivo que dio origen al Centro de  Documentación Presidente Adolfo López Mateos de la UAEMéx. El texto revisa la literatura especializada en centros de documentación, también considera dos propuestas de restauración y reciclaje de edificios históricos para detallar el proceso constructivo y de equipamiento de estos recintos documentales. Se concluye que este centro de documentación debería constituir y difundir un fondo documental especializado, no sólo producido por la propia institución, sino también promover la docencia, la investigación y otros servicios documentales. Además, las técnicas de restauración y reciclaje empleadas permitieron el uso eficiente del espacio que actualmente ocupa. De igual manera, se defiende la idea de aplicar estos métodos provenientes de la arquitectura antes de la construcción de espacios nuevos.

Authors: Alemán Montes Bryan , Henríquez Henríquez Carlos , Ramírez Rodríguez Tatiana , Largaespada Zelaya Kenneth
Published: February 2021

Introducción. La estimación previa de variables de rendimiento en plantaciones de caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum), es importante para adaptar prácticas de manejo y aumentar la competitividad en la agroindustria azucarera costarricense. Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar estimaciones de variables de rendimiento en el cultivo de la caña de azúcar, por medio de la integración de fotografías aéreas, métodos fotogramétricos y determinaciones de campo. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizó un lote de una hectárea de caña de azúcar, propiedad de la cooperativa CoopeCañita R.L. (Turrialba, Costa Rica), con 5 años de producción y sembrado con la variedad B76-256. La evolución espacio-temporal del crecimiento del cultivo se midió de mayo a noviembre del 2017, por medio de 6 vuelos con un VANT, el cual portaba una cámara fotográfica CoolPix A de 16,2 megapíxeles. Se realizó el procesamiento fotogramétrico y se obtuvieron los Modelos Digitales de Superficie (DSM). Estas variables permitieron estimar la altura y el volumen del cultivo. Las estimaciones se correlacionaron con diferentes variables de rendimiento como toneladas métricas de caña por hectárea (TMH), rendimiento de kilogramos de azúcar por tonelada (RKA), total de kilogramos de azúcar (TKA), total de kilogramos de miel (TKM) y rendimiento de kilogramos de miel (RKM) de la zafra 2017-2018. Resultados. La relación entre las TMH obtenidas en campo y las estimadas a partir del modelo de regresión lineal creado con la altura del cultivo fue de un R2 de 0,83. El error absoluto de la estimación de rendimiento, a partir de altura de planta, fue de 3,7 ton.ha-1, el error residual estándar de 6,3 ton.ha-1 y el RMSE de 5,63 ton.ha-1. Conclusión. Según los resultados, la mejor fecha para la estimación TMH fue aproximadamente 3 meses antes de cosecha. No se encontró relación entre las estimaciones fotogramétricas y la variable RKA.
Susceptibilidad de varias leguminosas de cobertura a los nematodos Meloidogyne incognita Y M. arenaria
Authors: Coto Umaña Felipe , Gómez Gómez Robin , Flores Chaves Lorena , González Lutz María Isabel
Published: February 2021

Introducción. Los cultivos de cobertura aportan múltiples beneficios al agroecosistema, como lo es la disminución de poblaciones de nematodos fitoparásitos, debido a su imposibilidad de reproducirse en plantas no susceptibles. La selección de una cobertura adecuada debe considerar la ausencia de reproducción de los nematodos, ya que coberturas moderadamente susceptibles podrían comprometer ciclos de cultivo posteriores. Objetivo. Determinar la susceptibilidad de las leguminosas de cobertura Crotalaria juncea L., Crotalaria spectabilis Roth, Vigna radiata (L.) R.Wilczek, Mucuna pruriens L. var. preta y Mucuna deeringiana (Bort) Merril a los nematodos Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood y M. arenaria (Neal) Chitwood. Materiales y métodos. Se realizaron 2 experimentos simultáneos en un invernadero de la Universidad de Costa Rica, Alajuela, Costa Rica, de abril a setiembre del 2015. Las plantas de cobertura se inocularon con 3000 huevos y estados juveniles (J2) de ambas especies de nematodos por separado. Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamen- te al azar. Resultados. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre plantas inoculadas y sin inocular, en las variables índice de masas de huevos (IMH), factor de reproducción (FR), peso seco de la parte aérea y peso fresco de raíces. Las poblaciones de M. incognita y M. arenaria disminuyeron en promedio un 71% y 19%, respectivamente, en V. radiata, y un 32% y 29%, respectivamente, en C. spectablis. No se observaron masas de huevos ni agallas en las raíces de las 2 especies de Mucuna ni en C. spectabilis. Vigna radiata y C. juncea presentaron masas de huevos, pero no superaron la categoría 1 según la escala utilizada (0-5). Conclusión. Todas las especies de leguminosas evaluadas en este estudio disminuyeron las poblaciones de nematodos inoculados, lo cual sugiere que el establecimiento de estas leguminosas de cobertura podría ser una estrategia viable para el manejo de poblaciones de Meloidogyne en campos agrícolas.

Published: February 2021

Introducción. La producción de rumiantes depende casi exclusivamente de forrajes que deseablemente ostenten una calidad nutritiva alta, por lo que estudios actualizados sobre ese atributo, son requeridos. Para el presente estudio, se realizó un análisis del asocio de gramíneas y leguminosas como alternativas para incrementar el valor nutricional de los forrajes. Objetivo. Valorar el comportamiento agronómico y bromatológico de asocios de maíz con leguminosas de hábito trepador IV para la alimentación bovina. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizó un diseño de bloques completos al azar con 7 tratamientos y 3 repeticiones conformados por: T1-6 = Maíz+ Lago azul, Beijín, Chi tou, Pritkar, Judías, CIAT 16806 y T7= Maíz ICA-V305. Se evaluó la altura de la planta (AP), biomasa fresca, índice de equivalencia de área (IEA), índice de selección ponderada (ISP), materia seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), extracto etéreo (EE), fibra detergente neutro (FDN), fibra detergente ácida (FDA) y lignina (LDA). Los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente y sometidos al ISP e IEA. Resultados. Se incrementó la cantidad de biomasa fresca en asocios (promedio 72,2±5 ton.ha-1) respecto al monocultivo de maíz (64,82 ton.ha-1). La concentración de MS se afectó (r= -0,37 Pearson <0,05) por la cantidad de biomasa aportada por las leguminosas para una media de 18,4% en asocios y 22,40% del maíz. El contenido de PB mostró superioridad de 3-5 g/100g MS sobre el maíz. El contenido de FDN en asocio fue inferior (42,71% Maíz + Lago azul) respecto al maíz (monocultivo 55,82%). El IEA para el asocio Maíz + Lago azul presentó mayor eficiencia (53,2%) frente a los monocultivos. El índice de selección ponderada estimado al considerar AP, Biomasa, PB y MS total mostró los tratamientos: Maíz + Lago azul y Beijín con la mejor posición jerárquica. Conclusión. De mayor a menor, asociar maíz ICA-V305 con Lago azul, Judías o Chi tou son mejor alternativa alimentaria para el ganadero (elaboración de ensilajes y/o alimento fresco de corte).
Trilling as a sociolinguistic variable
Authors: Gafter Roey J.
Published: February 2021

In the speech of many Hebrew speakers, the distinction between the voiceless pharyngeal fricative /?/ and its non-pharyngeal counterpart is neutralized, with the non-pharyngeal production becoming increasingly common. Although this is a well-studied phenomenon, little attention has been given so far to the possibility of meaningful variation in the non-pharyngeal forms. In this paper I demonstrate that the non-pharyngeal dorsal variant is not always a fricative, but rather, is often realized as a trill. Using data from sociolinguistic interviews conducted in two field sites in Israel, I show that the rate of trilling varies among speakers, and is sensitive to both social and linguistic factors. A key finding is that speakers who do not produce pharyngeals are more likely to produce the trill variant, but only in one of the two communities studied, in which the loss of the pharyngeals is considerably more advanced. While retention of the pharyngeals is strongly associated with Mizrahi (Middle Eastern and North African) descent, variation in trill rates interacts with ethnicity in complex ways, which shed light on the social and linguistic dynamics underlying the spread of the non-pharyngeal forms.
Call center agents’ skills
Authors: Tovar Johanna
Published: February 2021

This article follows previous research arguing that skills of call center agents, which often include emotional labor, communication, procedural and substantive knowledge, and articulation work, are mostly invisible. Moving beyond previous analyses linking call centers to low-skilled standardized work, I draw on ethnographic fieldwork and transpositional analysis in the Philippines and the UK to show which real-world processes and written practices make agents’ skills not only invisible and illegible to industry outsiders but also to their managers. I argue that textualization practices such as data entry and script work are important, and that deemphasizing quantification in favor of qualitative assessment could produce better outcomes for agents and skill appreciation by others.

EFFECT OF ULTRASOUND AND ACID PRETREATMENTS DURING DEHYDRATION ON QUALITY PROPERTIES OF QUINCE
Authors: Sohrabpour Sepideh , Yadegari Mozhgan , Kenari Reza Esmaeilzade
Published: February 2021

Several methods are employed to remove the moisture from organic or non-organic materials, in a variety of industrial applications. Among all, dehydration of fruits is an alternative to decline post-harvest loss of fruits and also a process to produce dried fruits, which can be directly consumed or become part of foodstuffs like cakes, and many others. In particular, drying provokes a series of changes in materials, such as oxidation, browning, or loss of nutritional-functional properties. Ultrasound is famous to have a significant effect on the rate of various processes. Quince is a fruit which is rich in polyphenols, organic acids, and amino acids with important health benefits. The present study examined the effect of ultrasound and blanching pre- treatments prior to convective drying on quality  properties  of dehydrated quince slices. A completely randomized design was used to address the effect of time of sonication (10−30 min), temperature (40−60°C), and anti-browning agents including acetic, citric, and ascorbic acids as well as distilled water on quality properties of dehydrated quince slices. The obtained results revealed that the shortest drying time (270.33±35.59 min) and the highest total phenolic content (57.29±12.72 mg GAE/ml) were recorded for samples exposed to the ascorbic acid solution. Comparison of the pre-treated and control samples indicated that the highest rehydration ratio (2.75±0.29 %) was achieved by blanched samples in acetic acid solution. The use of citric acid solution led to the highest score in the taste (3.45±1.1), color (3.84±0.9), and texture (3.47±1.02) of quince slices on the basis of a 5- point hedonic scale. The obtained results depended on both ultrasound and the type of blanching solution. Citric and acetic acid samples indicated the highest values of the sensory evaluation and water loss, respectively.
THE EFFECT OF PLANT PROTEINS ON THE FORMATION OF STRUCTURAL AND RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF NOUGAT
Authors: Gordiienko L. , Tolstykh V. , Avetisian K
Published: February 2021

This paper considers the problem of increasing  the nutritional value of whipped confectionery such as nougat by using hemp- based and soya-based protein-containing ingredients. The  main  tendencies of obtaining new types of food based on plant proteins with complete amino acid composition are described. The paper presents information on cultivating and using hemp and soya both in Ukraine and in the world, and suggests how products of their processing can be applied to improve the quality and increase the biological value of confectionery. It has been investigated what effect protein-containing ingredients obtained from hemp and soya have on the structural properties of foam in the technology of whipped confectionery such as nougat. It has been  established  that increasing the amount of plant protein additives leads to a decrease in the foaming ability, but the stability of protein foams increases. Adding 10% of protein-containing hemp additives increases the foam stability by 6%, while protein-containing soya additives increase it by 5%. The paper presents the results of studying the structural and rheological properties of nougat mass with protein-containing plant additives in the amount 2.5–10% of the weight of sugar. It has been determined that adding protein-containing hemp and soya ingredients increases the viscosity and plastic strength of the products and stabilises their structure. The effect of different amounts of nuts on the kinetics of nougat crystallisation has been studied. It is recommended to add 5% of hemp and 7.5% of soya protein-containing additives instead of sugar during the whipping of nougat mass, because it reduces the whipping time and has a positive effect on structure formation. The recommended  amount of roasted pistachio kernels in the samples suggested is 25–35% of the total weight of nougat, with the resting time 30–60 minutes and the moulding temperature 50–55°C. The nutritional value of the new products with protein-containing hemp and soya  ingredients and nuts has been calculated. It has been noted that nougat has been enriched with protein, unsaturated  fatty acids, and minerals (potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus).

Published: February 2021

Amaç: Endoskopik üriner sistem taşı tedavisinde kullanılan irrigasyon sıvısı miktarının enfektif süreçlere etkisini araştırmak

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, Ocak 2018 ile Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz üroloji kliniğine üriner sistem taşı nedeniyle başvurmuş ve bu nedenle endoskopik litotripsi uygulanmış 77 hastanın verileri dahil edildi. İşlem sonrasında enfeksiyon gelişmeyen hastalar Grup 1, postoperatif enfeksiyon gelişen hastalar ise Grup 2 olarak kategorize edildi. Sonrasında bu iki grup arasında kullanılan irrigasyon sıvısı miktarı açısından fark olup olmadığı araştırıldı.

Bulgular: Grup 1’de 45 hasta, Grup 2’de 32 hasta mevcuttu. İrrigasyon amaçlı kullanılan %0,9 NaCl sıvısı miktarı ortalama olarak 2142±1126,01 ml’dir. Kullanılan irrigasyon sıvısı miktarı postoperatif enfeksiyon gelişen grup için ortalama 2309,38±1220,4 ml, postoperatif enfeksiyon gözlenmeyen grup içinse ortalama 2023,3±1051,6 ml’dir ve her iki grup kullanılan irrigasyon sıvısının miktarı açısından karşılaştırıldığında anlamlı bir farklılık saptanmamıştır (p=0,275).

Sonuç: Kullanılan irrigasyon sıvı miktarının bu süreçte önemli bir faktör olduğunu düşünsek de çalışmamız sonucunda anlamlı bir fark saptayamadık. Bu durum enfeksiyöz süreçlerde bir faktörün tek basına yol açmadığını diğer birçok etmenin bir araya gelip kümülatif bir etki yarattığı yönündedir.
RNA-Stable Isotope Probing v6
Authors: Angel Roey , Petrova Eva , Lara Ana
Published: February 2021

The following protocol describes how to perform an RNA-Stable Isotope Probing experiment. The scope of this protocol only covers the parts involving separating labelled RNA from unlabelled RNA using ultracentrifugation in a caesium trifluoroacetate density gradient and downstream quantification to evaluate whether the labelling and separation of the RNA were successful. Total RNA should be extracted from an environmental sample or an enrichment culture that was incubated with an isotopically-labelled substrate. Labelling can be of the carbon, oxygen or nitrogen in the RNA (or any combination of the 3). For environmental samples, we recommend extracting RNA using our protocol Total Nucleic Acids Extraction from Soil and purifying it using the Purification of RNA from Crude NA Extract protocol. This protocol is based on the following papers: Whiteley et al. (2007); Dumont et al. (2011); Angel and Conrad (2013). For a comprehensive discussion on how to design a SIP experiment and how to analyse the resulting data, we recommend referring to the recent book on the subject: Stable Isotope Probing: Methods and Protocols, especially chapters: 1-3 and 9-18.
Modeling of Hemodynamics in a Vascular Bioprosthesis

Published: February 2021

The study of blood flow in vascular bioprostheses is a rather complicated task, since the shape of the inner surface of the bioprosthesis is variable, due to xenogenic origin. Because of this, vortex zones can occur inside the vascular bioprosthesis. In addition, the flow structure may contain sections where the flow velocity is abnormally high. It is all the more difficult to assess the nature of the course when using this vascular bioprosthesis as a shunt. A numerical comparison of the blood flow in a bioprosthesis connected to the main vascular bed using the «end-to-end» and «end-to-side» methods (bypass) taking into account the heart rate and blood pressure was performed. It is shown that, due to the nonlinearity of the initial bioprosthesis geometry, the implantation method affects the blood flow. Because of this, vortex zones arise and, with certain combinations of parameters, the effects of «separation» of vortices.

The impact of Industry 4.0 on the processes of social innovation
Authors: Karajz Sándor
Published: February 2021

Our previous research into this topic has proved that technical developments significantly affect processes and effectiveness of social innovation. The current process of this development is called Industry 4.0. The first part of the study deals with industrial evolutions and the process of Industry 4.0 is interpreted. The second part of the study presents national and international examples and good practices in order to examine the relationship between digitalisation and social innovation. The results of Industry 4.0 reveal that there is an increasing number of solutions for social innovation that are based on digitalisation and automation. The current digital revolution is radically changing societies and opening up new opportunities for social innovation. Industry 4.0 results in social innovation solutions that use artificial intelligence to improve and optimise processes.
Linking smart city concepts to urban resilience
Authors: Szép Tekla , Szendi Dóra , Nagy Zoltán
Published: February 2021

In this study, ten cities from the Visegrád countries are compared applying cross-sectional data (from the year 2015). After the standardization process of the involved 11 indicators, their adaptive capacity is measured by resilient index that we developed and a rank is created. This index is formed by three components (demographic, social-economic and spatial-environmental resilience components). Significant differences were revealed related to the adaptive capacity of the examined settlements. In spite of the fact that the capitals of the Visegrád countries are the most resilient cities from an economic perspective, their results are around or below the average regarding their demographic and spatial-environmental components. This indicates that the economic success of a city does not necessarily imply greater resilience: being an economically successful city is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being a resilient city.

Authors: Priyanka Aluri Anjana , Vasavi Gedela
Published: February 2021

Background: The term integration in education means coordination in the teaching–learning activities to ensure the harmonious functioning of the educational processes.Methods: Study was conducted in ASRAM medical college. 140 students of II MBBS were randomised into 2 groups. One group was taught by traditional didactic lecture. Other group was taught by integrated teaching along with the pathology department. A post-test questionnaire was given 3 days after the end of each session. The effectiveness of the study was done by assessing both the questionnaires. Feed-back was taken from the students on both types of teaching.Results: In Integrated teaching group, 12% got more than 80% marks, 71% got more than 60-80% marks, 11% students scored 50-60% marks and 4.7% students scored less than 50% marks. In didactic teaching group, 8.95% scored more than 80% marks, 45% students scored 60-80% marks, 23.88% students scored 50-60% marks and 14.92% students scored less than 50% marks. In our study, students felt that integrated teaching was of more useful to them. It helped them in understanding of concepts and maintaining interest in topic. They felt that there was a positive interaction which helped them to correlate the two subjects.Conclusions: This study concludes that integrated teaching is more helpful to students in learning.
Thyroid function test in relation with hypertension
Authors: Sharma Chandan
Published: February 2021

Background: The most common cause of cardiovascular disease affecting human is hypertension and reported that they may have tendency for impaired thyroid function. T3 acts directly on arterial smooth muscle of blood vessels to cause vasodilatation, when hypothyroidism occurs; declining T3 level increases the vascular resistance and the level of blood pressure. Clinically, hypertension may be defined as that level of blood pressure at which the institution of therapy reduces blood-pressure-related morbidity and mortality. The aim of our study was to assess the correlation and association of thyroid function with hypertension.

Methods: This case-control study was conducted in the Department of Medicine Government Medical College Jammu from August 2017 to August 2018 on 75 subjects with hypertension.  

Results: The male to female ratio was 62.7% to 37.3%.  Among total patients, 12 came out to be hyperthyroid, 6 cases were hypothyroid while 5 and 13 pertained to subclinical hyperthyroidism/ hypothyroidism respectively. The comparative values of T3 among Cases and Controls showed significant variation. However, the values of T4, TSH and FT3 showed no significant correlation. It was shown that hyperthyroidism can cause hypertension, i.e.  Hypothyroidism is positively related to hypertension.  

Conclusions: Thus it was observed in our study that there was significant relation between thyroid dysfunction with hypertension. Screening should be recommended for all the hypertensive patients to rule out thyroid dysfunction.
Uma viagem residual: os mortos, a travessia, o rio, o barco e o barqueiro na trilogia das Barcas
Authors: Wellington Rodrigues Lima Francisco , Dias Martins Elizabeth
Published: February 2021

O presente artigo consiste em  dissertar sobre a morte e o ato de morrer no teatro medieval português de Gil Vicente, na Trilogia das Barcas – do Inferno (1517), do Purgatório (1518) e da Glória (1519) -, abordando, em especial, quatro elementos significativos da morte: a morte como travessia, o barco, o barqueiro e o rio -, elementos importantes para a viagem dos mortos; símbolos de proteção e salvação. O nosso objetivo é demonstrar que há semelhanças e diferenças residuais na forma de ver, pensar e sentir a morte no teatro vicentino; semelhanças e diferenças oriundas de povos e tempos distantes; semelhanças e diferenças entre sociedades cujas culturas parecem nunca ter tido contato, uma vez que as culturas entram em contato umas com as outras, independentemente do tempo e do espaço, a todo momento, atualizando-se e se modificando continuamente.  Para tal, utilizamos os conceitos de resíduo, hibridismo, cristalização e mentalidade trabalhados pela Teoria da Residualidade sistematizada por Roberto Pontes. Para a orientação da nossa pesquisa investigativa, o método de procedimento utilizado será o comparativo. Buscaremos subsídios no corpus teórico da Literatura Comparada e os mesclaremos aos conceitos operativos da Teoria da Residualidade Cultural e Literária.

Pés no além, olhar na terra: um estudo em quatro peças vicentinas
Authors: Lima Stélio Torquato
Published: February 2021

O dramaturgo português Gil Vicente erigiu sua obra teatral entre dois mundos, o medieval e o renascentista. Essa condição fomentou em muitas de suas peças uma aparente contradição: embora se passando em um cenário post mortem, os enredos se ocupam claramente com questões terrenas. Nessa perspectiva, este trabalho se volta para análise de algumas das formas como essa aparente contradição se evidencia em quatro autos vicentinos, cujas datas de criação estão bastante aproximadas (entre 1517 e 1519): o Auto da Alma e as peças que compõem a trilogia das barcas (o Auto da Barca do Inferno, o Auto da Barca do Purgatório e o Auto da Barca da Glória).

A intenção de se discutir estereótipos em sala de aula, tema que estruturará o presente artigo, surgiu durante a realização do meu estágio obrigatório – requisito para a aprovação na disciplina “Análise da Prática e Estágio de Português I”. Ao conviver com os alunos do 6º ao 8º anos, pude notar que, por influência de uma sociedade acostumada a generalizar pessoas ou grupos por meio de seus comportamentos ou características afins – os alunos da escola estadual “Professora Conceição Hilário” não estavam isentos da influência da construção de pressupostos.
Narrativa: uma abordagem histórico-comparativa das diferentes concepções na área da linguagem
Authors: Souza Ewerton William Estevam de , Duque Paulo Henrique
Published: February 2021

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de realizar um breve histórico-comparativo das diferentes concepções de narrativa na área da linguagem, compreendendo: a visão da sociolinguística inicial, pautada pelos trabalhos de Labov e Waletzky, a visão da sociolinguística moderna, respaldada pelas críticas e reformulações ao modelo laboviano, e a visão cognitivista, que se interessa pelos aspectos cognitivos relacionados à capacidade humana de construir narrativas. Por fim, sintetizaremos a ideia central de um sistema piloto chamado KARMA, um modelo computacional que objetiva interpretar narrativas. Concluímos que, para Labov e Waletzky, a narrativa é um conjunto temporalmente ordenado de eventos passados, sendo definida pela sua estrutura superficial, portanto, compreendida como algo pré-estabelecido por propriedades fixas. Em contraposição, na sociolinguística moderna, a estrutura da narrativa recebe menos relevância, em detrimento das condições de produção, uma vez que é dada atenção à construção das identidades dos interactantes e como o contexto (processos históricos) influencia suas posições e relações sociais. Por fim, na visão cognitivista, a narrativa é compreendida como uma forma de organizar as experiências e compreender a vida, sendo que a construção das identidades se dá por meio de modelos mentais (frames).

Este artigo objetiva analisar a qualidade visual da paisagem da praia do Cumbuco, no município de Caucaia/CE, Região Metropolitana de Fortaleza. Como suporte teórico utilizou-se teóricos da geoecologia das paisagens. Os principais resultados foram: variedade de elementos naturais, diversidade e naturalidade média às paisagens, presença de médios e grandes indicadores detratores, como: casas de veraneio, barracas, restaurantes, hotéis e condomínios. Como constatação inferiu-se que a qualidade visual é média, principalmente na área de maior concentração de turistas significando que a paisagem, motivadora dos fluxos turísticos, transformou-se perdendo características próprias e adquirindo novas feições.

Genetic-mathematical modelling of the populations interaction
Authors: Volobuev Andrey N. , Adyshirin-Zade Kaira A. , Antipova Tatyana A.
Published: February 2021

Annotation The solution of the genetic-mathematical problem of interaction between the human population and the virus population in relation to the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic is presented. It is noted that the virus does not interact with the entire human body, as a set of complex organs, but with its individual cells. A mathematical model based on the HardyWeinberg law is used, consisting of two linear interdependent differential equations relatively to the frequency of an allele with different right sides. The equations reflect the time dynamics of human cells and virus populations during their interaction. In the equation for the virus population the right side is a constant value that characterizes the death of viruses due to the human immune system. In the equation for human cells population the right side depends linearly on the allele frequency of the virus population. The right side of this equation characterizes the death of a cell when a virus inserted in its DNA for its reproduction. Solutions of differential equations are found and the results of these solutions are analyzed. The duration of the pandemic was estimated using parameters of human liver cells and influenza virus.

Deutsche und polnische Lektüren über den Zweiten Weltkrieg und den Holocaust. Eine vergleichende Untersuchung zur schulischen Kanonbildung und zum kulturellen Gedächtnis
Authors: Meyer Marita
Published: February 2021

Der Aufsatz versucht die polnischen und die deutschen Schullektüren zum Thema Zweiter Weltkrieg und Holocaust miteinander zu vergleichen. Da auf deutscher Seite kein festgelegter Kanon existiert, war eine Umfrage notwendig, um den ‚heimlichen‘ Kanon zu ermitteln. Auf der polnischen Seite gibt es nicht nur festgelegte Lektüren, sondern bis zum Abitur auch Schulbücher im Literaturunterricht. Ein Vergleich dreier polnischer Schulbücher und ihrer Behandlung der kanonischen Autoren (Tadeusz Borowski, Czesław Miłosz, Hanna Krall) steht im Zentrum der Untersuchung.

Authors: Rauf U. , Rashid I. , Akbar H. , Majeed K. , Raheem I. , Nawaz J. , Durrani A.
Published: February 2021

Background: Babesia bigemina is the cause of bovine babesiosis. B. bigemina-infected red blood cells (iRBCs) were passaged in vitro for the attenuation. Methods: We cultured Pakistani isolate of the parasite in three different culture media. Whole blood was collected from splenectomized and intact crossbred young calves. The parameters included were hematological profile, catalase activity, osmotic fragility and lipid profile. Cell culture media (M-199, RPMI 1640 and DMEM) were used to find out the longevity of parasites iRBCs. Result: Highest PPE level was found up to 6.0% on 72 h post-culture in M-199 medium. Furthermore, no significant difference in catalase activity while significant difference in osmotic fragility were observed. However, lipid profile was significantly less in infected animals except in Babesia-infected. M-199 was the most appropriate medium for the in vitro cultivation of B. bigemina. Our findings would help us for in vitro cultivation of babesia-infected RBCs for its attenuation.

Published: February 2021

Background: Maize followed by summer pulses is the emerging cropping system in many places in India. Herbicides are the efficient tools for checking weed infestation and their usage is increasing throughout the globe due to increased labour cost and quick weed control. Some herbicides do not degrade quickly and may remain in the soil for weeks, months or years after application and may inhibit the growth of succeeding crops. Methods: Field experiment was conducted in a randomized block design (RBD) during rabi and summer seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 to know the residual effect of different herbicides applied in maize on succeeding greengram. Result: The present study revealed that lower density and dry weight of total weeds and higher yield attributes and yield was recorded with the practice of adopting two hand weedings at 15 and 30 DAS, which was however, at par with atrazine 1.0 kg ha-1 as PE fb one HW at 30 DAS, atrazine 1.0 kg ha-1 as PE fb topramezone 30 g ha-1 as PoE and atrazine 1.0 kg ha-1 as PE fb tembotrione 120 g ha-1 as PoE, without any significant disparity among them. Herbicides applied in maize did not alter statistically the enzyme activity and microbial count in the soil at harvest of succeeding greeengram.

Published: February 2021

La secuenciación de los pedidos de los clientes es un  reto para la programación de las operaciones en una empresa. Este se complejiza todavía aún más si se trata de una empresa del sector textil, debido a que responde a pedidos cada vez más personalizados. El orden que se les dé a estos pedidos repercute significativamente en el desempeño de las operaciones. En este contexto se  diseñó un modelo de simulación en FlexSim para medir el impacto de la aplicación de diferentes reglas de prioridad para la secuenciación de los pedidos de los clientes en el caso de las operaciones de la empresa “Puntadas, S.G.”. Los resultados fueron presentados al secuenciar los pedidos correspondientes a cuatro semanas del Programa Maestro de Producción (MPS) en el modelo de simulación. Con esto se determinó que la regla de prioridad Shortest Processing Time (SPT) sería la que mejor impactaría el desempeño general de las operaciones, sobre todo mediante un aumento en la fiabilidad de un 4.49%, respecto a la regla First-Come First-Served (FCFS) que es la implementada en la actualidad.
Historical Theoretical Perspectives to Consider in the Application of Community-Based Interventions for African Americans and Communities of Color
Authors: Goode Pandora
Published: February 2021

Using theory as a framework for community-based interventions in African American members provides the principles and guidance needed to generate nursing knowledge. However, choosing an appropriate theoretical framework to guide community-based interventions can be challenging. The aim of this manuscript is to examine the use of three historical models or theories (the Health Belief Model, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Bandura's Self-Efficacy Theory), which are still being used today, to better understand their applications in community-based interventions.
