Informed Consent on Medical Action in the Beauty Sector
Authors: Sumarlie Franky
Published: December 2020

The development of medical action not only in clinics, but also in beauty clinics, requires a standard regarding informed consent. This study used 2 problem formulations, namely: 1. The essence of Informed Consent, 2.Informed Consent in Aesthetic Beauty Actions. This study used a Statue Approach, and a Conceptual Approach. The result of this study was that Informed Consent should be a process from the doctor explaining the action until the patient accepts/rejects the action, either in oral or written form. In practice, medical action for beauty at Aesthetic Beauty Clinic was carried out in accordance with professional standard and standard operating procedures. The relationship that arises between the doctor and the patient is called a therapeutic agreement. In this agreement, an approval for a medical action that is given by the patient appears as a form of approval for aesthetic beauty medicine action which is initiated by an offer of the doctor.

Published: December 2020

Entre las principales manifestaciones de tumores de cabeza y específicamente de la cavidad oral se encuentran los de tipo odontógenicos, y de estos el más frecuente es el ameloblastoma. Este puede condicionar la presencia de una vía aérea difícil para el anestesiólogo, que debe estar entrenado para todos los escenarios disponibles en su manejo. El objetivo del presente trabajo es presentar y discutir el caso clínico de un paciente con diagnóstico de ameloblastoma gigante con predictores positivos de vía aérea difícil. Se trata de un paciente masculino de 39 años, quien refiere inicio de enfermedad actual hace ocho años, caracterizado por una lesión tumoral a nivel de maxilar inferior de 13 centímetros de largo y 16 centímetros de ancho, unilobulada y de consistencia dura a la palpación. La preparación de la fosa nasal se realizó con la administración de oximetazolina, seguido de lidocaína al 2 % (atomizador 3 push), por catéter nasal; también se le realizó bloqueo del nervio laríngeo superior bilateral, y se le administró atropina como antisialogogo. Se procedió a introducir el broncofibroscopio. El abordaje de la vía aérea difícil con un broncofibroscopio en el paciente estudiado fue realizado eficazmente, a pesar de tener el diagnóstico de un ameloblastoma gigante en maxilar inferior, que condicionó la presencia de predictores de vía aérea difícil. El paciente estudiado presentó una clasificación de Mallampati grado III. El abordaje de vía aérea difícil predecible con el uso del broncofibroscopio es efectivo en manos entrenadas en pacientes con diagnóstico de ameloblastoma gigante.

Authors: Azpurua Luis , Mujica Josefa Rita
Published: December 2020

Introducción: La talla baja de origen nutricional es una manifestación de la carencia sostenida de nutrientes cuando el niño está en su fase de crecimiento. En Venezuela, que está enfrentando una crisis político económica en la cual hay insuficiencia alimentaria, no existen cifras oficiales del problema. El objeto del trabajo es presentar información acerca de cuál es la prevalencia actual del problema. Métodos: Se realiza un estudio descriptivo observacional de 16.155 niños evaluados antropométricamente en escuelas municipales, comedores comunitarios y jornadas comunitarias en áreas vulnerables de 9 estados de Venezuela durante el año 2019. La data fue recolectada por voluntarios que trabajaban con organizaciones implementadoras de programas de nutrición a nivel local previamente capacitados. Se almacenó y analizó en la plataforma Digisalud de acuerdo a los patrones de referencia antropométrica del año2006 de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Resultados: la prevalencia observada de talla baja en niños menores de 5 años fue de 20,38%, mientras que la de los mayores de 5 años es de 12,83%. En 6 de los 9 estados estudiados, la prevalencia de talla baja es a expensas de niños menores de 5 años. Conclusiones: Los resultados, si bien no son representativos de la población venezolana, sí pretenden arrojar luces de lo que está ocurriendo. Se recomienda seguir recolectando data sistemática, estandarizada y preferiblemente digitalizada para tener información homogénea y comparable de la problemática que se está observando, y así poder dar respuesta a través de acciones concretas, medibles y auditables que generen el impacto deseado

Will my parents come to Australia when retired? Later-life transnational migration intentions of Chinese parents
Authors: Xiong Xueying , Han Hoon
Published: December 2020

Background  China is the second largest source country of immigrants to Australia every year. The elderly parents of these working-age immigrants in Australia usually visit their children on a tourist visa, which allows short term family gatherings. These visits do not require much effort. However, when it comes to long-term transnational migration, the decision becomes hard to make and often involves complex factors, such as personal preferences and lifestyle choices.

Aims  This paper aims to examine the later-life transnational migration intentions of elderly Chinese parents and how the parents’ intentions are affected by personal preferences, personality and lifestyle differences between the generations.

Data and methods  This paper uses data from a two-stage study including an online survey and semi-structured interviews conducted in Sydney from October 2018 to May 2019 with both caregivers (adult children who are first-generation immigrants living in Australia) and their elderly parents.

Results  The study found that external contributors such as language barriers and transport dependence in Australia, and existing social ties as well as another adult child living in China, have a negative influence on moving to Australia.

Conclusions  Elderly parents with an optimistic and outgoing personality are more likely to consider moving to Australia compared to those who are more conservative. Foremost, conflicts due to different lifestyles between the generations reduces the possibility of parents’ later-life migration to Australia.

Objectives: To identify the pattern and etiology of diseases in children presented hepatomegaly at Pediatrics Department in Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam.

Material and Methods: The Present study was conducted to evaluate the possible etiology and clinical features of children presented with hepatomegaly. A total of 107 children, from one month to fifteen years of age with hepatomegaly admitted in the Pediatric Department of Hue Central Hospital, Vietnam from May 2018 to April 2019 were included in this study.

Results: The most common causes of hepatomegaly were inflammation/infection of the liver (miscellaneous cause included), hematological diseases and congestion heart failure with the percentage of 50.5%; 27,1% and 12,1%; respectively. Among the hepatitis group, viral agents account for nearly 50.0%, of which the most common one was Cytomegalovirus accounting for nearly 30.0%. Distribution of causes by age group revealed most cases in 1 year-old or younger children was caused by inflammation (53.8%), and in the older than 1 year-old children were hematological disorders (47.3%) which has statistical significance (P<0.05).

Conclusions: Our research observed that the most common causes of the group of ≤ 1 year old were hepatitis, followed by cardiovascular disease and biliary obstruction due to congenital biliary atresia, and in the older than 1 year group, hematological disorders was the most common.
WHY DO RETAIL CUSTOMERS HESITATE FOR SHOPPING GROCERY ONLINE?
Authors: Klepek Martin , Bauerová Radka
Published: December 2020

Considering a relatively slow adoption of online grocery shopping in the vast majority of the world markets, the main objective of this study was to uncover any new reasons why customers hesitate to shop groceries online. Moreover, we were not looking for undiscovered discouraging reasons only but also intended to validate previously researched reasons in published studies. Thus, we have first used a systematic literature review to cover all relevant previous studies on online grocery non-buyers. Even though this process is time-consuming, it provides a coherent overview of the published material on the topic. Further, we designed a web-based survey of 670 respondents from the general internet population. The data in open-ended questions related to online grocery attitudes and opinions were analysed by the content analysis. 14 thematic units emerged from the process from which the majority confirmed previously researched negative attitudes toward online grocery shopping. Non-buyers prefer to see grocery in person before buying it, there is a distrust in e-tailers to choose the best and freshest grocery, non-buyers prefer personal contact with the seller and behave habitually. Moreover, they tend to shop offline also because of hedonic reasons and pleasure from the shopping experience. Novel reasons why people hesitate to shop online in this category were the time consumption where consumers perceived online shopping slow regarding order-delivery time gap and were reluctant to pay for the delivery service, to mention just a few. We conclude with a summary of our results and a handful of recommendation for e-tail companies.

Lost, or a Guide for the Lovesick
Authors: Thiellement Pacôme
Published: December 2020

By inventing initiatory melodrama, by constructing a perfect gaze and by telling different love trajectories (be they perfect or imperfect), Lost embodies two things simultaneously for its spectator. Through the motif of the eye, the series puts us in the contemplative place of Jacob as protector of the series; through the hand, it attempts to make us experience an anamnesis based on great affection and the love we feel for the series’ characters. In the end, the love that the characters feel for one another is also the love they feel for us and that we feel for them.
Dados e automação na renderização de visualizações científicas: imagens operacionais na Estação Meteorológica de Hesse
Authors: Telles Marcio , Dos Santos Luiza Carolina
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo, discutimos as formas de ver por meio de visualizações de software em investigações científicas, examinando os processos que geram visualizações em uma estação meteorológica na Alemanha. Ao elucidarmos a medialidade dessas imagens técnicas, contrariamos o argumento de Chris Anderson de que o computacional teria acesso mais amplo ao real, o que afastaria a investigação teórica das ciências. Com a contribuição teórica de Crary, Farocki, Flusser e Edwards, argumentamos que as imagens computacionais são produzidas algoritmicamente após a coleta de dados, carregando consigo pressupostos teóricos e epistemológicos que ficam ocultos quando não se leva em consideração esse nível de mediação. Consideramos a aquisição de dados, a renderização de imagens e a observação como três processos distintos que, juntos, formam uma “configuração” medial específica para a visualização científica. Concluímos reafirmando a importância dos Estudos de Mídia e das Humanidades Digitais no estudo da visualização mediada por materialidades computacionais.Palavras-chave: Imagens computacionais. Humanidades digitais. Renderização.
 Autocuidado de pessoas com diabetes mellitus: reuso e descarte de seringas e agulhas / Self-care of people with mellitus diabetes: reuse and disposal of syringes and needles
Authors: Carneiro Cunha Neves Heliny , Faria Alves Favorito Ana Caroliny , Pagotto Valéria , De Lima Vieira dos Santos Silvana
Published: December 2020

Objetivo: Analisar a taxa de reuso de seringas e agulhas e identificar as práticas de descarte de perfurocortantes por usuários de insulina. Método: Estudo transversal, realizado com pessoas diagnosticadas com diabetes mellitus tipo II de um Centro de Referência em Diagnóstico e Terapêutica da região Centro-Oeste do Brasil. Foram utilizados dados secundários provenientes de prontuários e fichas de consulta. As diferenças de proporção foram estimadas pelo teste qui-quadrado, considerando-se p<0,05. Resultados: A taxa de reuso de seringas e agulhas foi de 94,9%. Houve alta prevalência do reuso de seringas e agulhas por mulheres, com mais de 60 anos, com tempo de estudo menor do que cinco anos, que possuíam mais de 11 anos de diagnóstico. A maioria dos usuários descartou as agulhas e seringas no lixo domiciliar. Tais dados evidenciam que as práticas de autocuidado realizadas pelas pessoas com DM quanto ao reuso e descarte de perfurocortantes não são seguras e podem favorecer complicações. Conclusão: Apesar das características demográficas e clínicas não terem apresentado associação com o reuso, esforços devem ser direcionados para as práticas de educação em saúde, levando em consideração o contexto da pessoa, a condição socioeconômica, nível de escolaridade e seu papel ativo no seguimento do tratamento.

Objetivo: analisar ações dos Núcleos Ampliados de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica (Nasf-AB) em Santa Catarina, na perspectiva da promoção da saúde. Método: pesquisa qualitativa mediante entrevistas realizadas em grupo com 43 profissionais de cinco equipes do Nasf-AB, entre setembro e novembro de 2017. As informações foram tratadas por meio de análise temática de conteúdo. Resultados: os profissionais demonstram relacionar suas ações aos determinantes sociais tendo por base a realidade do território, embora com pouca utilização de indicadores para planejamento das ações. Eles dialogam com outros núcleos de conhecimento no próprio Nasf e com profissionais da equipe de referência, nesse caso, priorizando a atuação compartilhada. Há pouca participação em conselhos representativos ou, mesmo, iniciativas intersetoriais no território, apesar de os dados indicarem iniciativas interdisciplinares ou com outros serviços da Rede de Atenção à Saúde. Conclusão: há ações de promoção da saúde, em seu sentido coletivo e social, desenvolvidas pelos profissionais do Nasf-AB, prevalecendo práticas educativas sem grupos com usuários. Destacam-se a aspiração em promover o empoderamento individual e comunitário, com vistas ao aumento da autonomia dos sujeitos e, por conseguinte, da resolutividade da Atenção Primária à Saúde.

Authors: Udeshika J. C. , Ellepola A.
Published: December 2020

BackgroundThe Sri Lankan public health care system provides free health care. Psychiatric services in the public sector have expanded over the years to reach the whole country. Currently, the cost of care per patient in a government hospital is not calculated directly. AimsTo assess the total in-ward expenditure, expenditures incurred in different cost heads, average per patient cost and cost per patient day in a psychiatry unit at Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. MethodsA financial audit was carried out at Teaching Hospital, Anuradhapura. All patients admitted for in-patient psychiatry care from 1st to 30th of September 2019 were included. Data were collected retrospectively from patient documentations and hospital accounting using a data extraction form. ResultsNinety patients, 48 (53.3%) females and 42 (46.7%) males, were included in the study, with 711 in-patient days. The average length of stay was 7.9 days. The mean age was 39.8 years, ranging from 16 to 75 years, and most were married (55.6%). Schizophrenia and depressive disorder were the commonest diagnoses. The total cost per month in the psychiatry unit was LKR 3 321 050.60, with an average of LKR 110 701.70 per day. The average cost per patient per day was LKR 4 670.96. Staff wages accounted for 56.27% of the total expenses, and medications and other consumables accounted for 13.01%. ConclusionsClinicians can carry out cost analysis with data available to them. The results can be used to efficiently allocate resources from the total budget in the given institution, and to implement cost reduction plans to use limited resources effectively.
Lithium: the wonder drug of psychiatry
Authors: Hanwella R.
Published: December 2020

The efficacy of lithium for treating the acute symptoms of mania, as well its use as a mood stabiliser is well established. However, lithium has a narrow therapeutic index and there is potential for fatal toxicity, as well as serious side effects including renal failure. Patient education is important, and psychiatrists need to spend time with their patients prior to starting lithium therapy. A psychiatrist with expert knowledge on lithium is a necessity for safe use of lithium. Unlike other major psychiatric disorders where there are equivalent alternatives, lithium by far is the best treatment for bipolar disorder. All patients with bipolar disorder, unless there are serious contraindications, must be offered the option of taking lithium.
Adenovirus Vector–Induced IL-6 Promotes Leaky Adenoviral Gene Expression, Leading to Acute Hepatotoxicity

Published: December 2020

Adenovirus (Ad) vector–mediated transduction can cause hepatotoxicity during two phases, at ∼2 and 10 days after administration. Early hepatotoxicity is considered to involve inflammatory cytokines; however, the precise mechanism remains to be clarified. We examined the mechanism of early Ad vector–induced hepatotoxicity by using a conventional Ad vector, Ad-CAL2, and a modified Ad vector, Ad-E4-122aT-CAL2. Ad-E4-122aT-CAL2 harbors sequences complementary to the liver-specific miR-122a in the 3′ untranslated region of E4, leading to significant suppression of leaky Ad gene expression in the liver via posttranscriptional gene silencing and a significant reduction in late-phase hepatotoxicity. We found that Ad-E4-122aT-CAL2 transduction significantly attenuated acute hepatotoxicity, although Ad-E4-122aT-CAL2 and Ad-CAL2 induced comparable cytokine expression levels in the liver and spleen. IL-6, a major inflammatory cytokine induced by Ad vectors, significantly enhanced leaky Ad gene expression and cytotoxicity in primary mouse hepatocytes following Ad-CAL2 but not Ad-E4-122aT-CAL2 transduction. Furthermore, leaky Ad gene expression and cytotoxicity in Ad-CAL2–treated hepatocytes in the presence of IL-6 were significantly suppressed upon inhibition of JAK and STAT3. Ad vector–mediated acute hepatotoxicities and leaky Ad expression were significantly reduced in IL-6 knockout mice compared with those in wild-type mice. Thus, Ad vector–induced IL-6 promotes leaky Ad gene expression, leading to acute hepatotoxicity.
Visual functional changes after ocriplasmin injection for vitreomacular traction
Authors: Furino Claudio , Niro Alfredo , Sborgia Luigi , Reibaldi Michele , Boscia Francesco , Alessio Giovanni
Published: December 2020

PURPOSE:

The purpose is to evaluate functional changes after ocriplasmin injection to treat vitreomacular traction (VMT) by microperimetry.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Prospective interventional study on patients underwent an intravitreal ocriplasmin injection. Optical coherence tomography, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) test, and microperimetry were performed at baseline, 1 week, 1 and 3 months. Microperimeter recorded retinal sensitivity (RS) and central retinal sensitivity (CRS) at central 12° and 4°, respectively, and fixation as bivariate contour ellipse area (BCEA) at 68%, 95%, and 99% of fixation points. Functional parameters were analyzed in patients who had (Group A) or not (Group B) VMT release.

RESULTS:

Twenty-one patients including 18 with VMT and 3 with VMT plus macular hole (MH) were treated. Eleven patients achieved VMT resolution including all cases with MH that achieved hole closure. An impairment of BCVA, RS and CRS (P < 0.01; P < 0.001; P = 0.001, respectively) was reported at 1 week followed by a significant improvement (BCVA, P = 0.001; RS, CRS, P = 0.02) at 3 months. The early impairment of visual acuity and sensitivity significantly occurred in Group B (P ≤ 0.01) while their recovery significantly occurred in Group A (P < 0.01). BCEA significantly increased in dimension (68%, P = 0.01; 95%, P = 0.03) at 1 week, subsequently returning to near baseline values over follow-up. Only in Group A, fixation stability significantly improved at 3 months.

CONCLUSION:

Microperimetry confirms an early and reversible functional impairment after ocriplasmin injection regardless VMT resolution. If a greater decrease in function could occur in the eyes without VMT resolution, a better functional recovery could occur in the event of VMT resolution.

Futuros profesores de matemáticas de secundaria: capacidad de análisis de prácticas docentes
Authors: Araya-Román Daniela , Morales-López Yuri
Published: December 2020

El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue analizar la incidencia del estudio de los criterios de idoneidad didáctica en la reflexión sobre prácticas docentes en futuros profesores de Matemáticas. La investigación es cualitativa con método de estudio de caso. Esta se realizó en el grupo de estudiantes durante el segundo semestre de 2018. El análisis de los datos se enfocó en la identificación y comparación de elementos referentes a distintos indicadores de idoneidad presentes en dos reflexiones realizadas por los participantes. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que, luego de estudiar algunas nociones teóricas del EOS y contar con una guía para realizar una práctica reflexiva, los participantes logran exponer ideas más claras y ordenadas, además de realizar justificaciones sobre sus juicios de valor. Se concluye que, en la primera fase, los participantes no contaban con las herramientas necesarias para realizar una práctica reflexiva, mientras que, en la segunda reflexión, hay evidencia sustancial para asegurar que, con el uso de una guía basada en los criterios de idoneidad del enfoque ontosemiótico, se favorece considerablemente el ejercicio de estudiantes que logran organizar sus ideas y prestan atención a una mayor cantidad de elementos de interés en Educación Matemática.
Brand Community Satisfaction for Lurkers and Posters
Authors: McLaughlin Caitlin
Published: December 2020

Brand communities are extremely important to marketers because they lead to a variety of positive outcomes, including higher levels of brand loyalty, positive word-of-mouth, purchase intentions, brand engagement, etc. Because of this, brand community managers want to ensure that members have a positive experience when they join and participate in these communities. This module introduces brand communities, the various types of brand community members (i.e., lurkers and posters), and what these lurkers and posters expect when they join a brand community. Then, we discuss whether or not those expectations are satisfied – and implications for brand community managers.

Evidence: The evidence from the literature supported mentoring, education and training, and social support to retain healthcare volunteers. Intervention: The Iowa Model Collaborative guided this project using the Plan, Do, Study, and Act framework to implement the Healthcare Volunteer Retention Program. Healthcare volunteer retention, education and training, and surveys before and after implementation were monitored to evaluate the retention program’s influence. Outcomes: The implementation resulted in a retention rate of 98%, the intent to stay improved by 6%, and 89% of the survey participants were satisfied with the retention program. Additionally, a paired-samples t-test conducted to compare the survey’s results before and after implementation resulted in a t-value of 3.508 at alpha = .05, which supported the effectiveness of the retention program. Conclusion: Local, regional, national, and worldwide opportunities exist to build capacity for healthcare volunteers. Disaster response readiness by healthcare volunteers requires mentoring, education and training, and social support to improve this workforce’s retention.
Bells and Spells: Rosicrucianism and the Invocation of Planetary Spirits in Early Modern Germany
Authors: Tilton Hereward
Published: December 2020

This paper examines early modern theurgical techniques in the context of Christian anti-magical polemics and an associated marginalization of gnosticemanationist religiosity. Particular attention is directed to the ritual invocation of planetary spirits in the Rosicrucian tradition, which involved artefacts (spiritsummoning bells, animated statues, etc.) manufactured from Paracelsian electrum magicum, a pervasive material in European ritual magical practice. Further light is cast upon this Christian Cabalistic theurgical tradition by the author’s discovery of the Dutch Behmenist origins of the Gold- und Rosenkreuz.
Ancient Necromantic Rituals in Contemporary Celestial Magic
Authors: Burton Jane
Published: December 2020

This paper explores how witches and spiritual mediums both focus on solar and lunar events as important times for their magical rituals, and also the importance they place upon zodiacal influences. Additionally, it will investigate if blood, either the practitioners own or symbolic, is utilised in basic magical rituals for necromantic purposes such as spirit divination. Necromantic rituals from Ancient Greek magical texts were compared with contemporary rituals employed by the informants, using primary and secondary sources. This is an ethnographic report of participant observation of spiritual mediums and witches living in the Valencia region of Spain. It was conducted over a one-year period of fieldwork study. Data was collected by way of a questionnaire and in a series of interviews with spiritual mediums and witches who practice spirit invocation for divinatpurposes.
The Islandscape of the Megalithic Temple Structures of Prehistoric Malta
Authors: Lomsdalen Tore
Published: December 2020

The exploration of the Mediterranean seascape goes back to the foragers of the early Holocene period around the ninth millennium BCE. However there is no secure evidence of human settlement in the Maltese Archipelago before the end of the sixth millennium BCE. Approximately one thousand years later, the unique style of megalithic structures that later became known as the Temple Period commenced. This period lasted about another millennium, then suddenly halted for no apparent reason, leaving no further trace than the monuments themselves. However, based on the extant material culture—artefacts, iconography and the orientation and location of the temples—there are indications that the Temple Period society may have participated in cosmology that integrates land, sea and sky. Using thick description, this paper will look at the extent to which prehistoric Maltese cosmology consisted of land, sea and skyscape—probably the three main components of an Islanders’ cosmology.
Trystes Cosmologiques: When Lévi-Strauss Met the Astrologers
Authors: Douglas Graham
Published: December 2020

In October 1969 the famous anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss gave an interview to the well-known French astrologers André Barbault and Dr Jean Paul Nicola for the astrology magazine L’Astrologue. To the author’s knowledge this interview has never been discussed in academic journals, and is here published for the first time in English translation. It is considered in the context of its time, and of the issues discussed: the Surrealist movement, which had an important influence on Lévi-Strauss’s early work; the structure of the unconscious mind; and the question of causation in astrology. At the end of the interview Lévi-Strauss suggested a joint project with his interviewers to study the interpretations of serious astrologers as a way of understanding how their minds work. According to Dr Nicola, the suggestion was never developed because in his opinion there was no chance of getting astrologers to agree on how to go about it. In the last 20 years however, several theses have been devoted to similar projects.

Haramosh valley is located in eastern side of Gilgitcity (Fig. 1). Geographically it is located between74°44' 17.37 " E and 35° 51 '8.97 " N. The area is asub range of Karakoram in the south-central region ofthe Rakaposhi–Haramosh mountains. Haramosh valleyis famous for its gemstones which are well known inthe world. The first gem mine was discovered in 1951in the area of Haramosh valley in Gilgit. Theprominent four localities of gem-bearing pegmatitesoccur in the vicinity of the Haramosh peak, Shengusalong Indus river, Haramosh Bulachi village, and thesetting of Khaltoro pasture. Along with glaciers,Hindukush Karakorum and Himalayan ranges host avariety of precious stones (Agheem et al., 2014). Inrecent decade Haramosh valley received moreattention because of the occurrence of a variety ofgems in pegmatite veins. Gemstone varieties related topegmatites are also found in other parts of GilgitBaltistan, like Shigar, Shengus, and Stuk Nala (Kazmiet al., Laurs et al., 1998).Pegmatites are found widelyin Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan within the mountain rangesof Karakoram (Laurs et al. 1998). These macroliticpegmatite’s are mainly associated with leucogranites inHaramosh Massif, which is famous for recent rapiduplift (Laurs et al., 1998; Zeitler 1985). Variouscrystals of topaz, tourmaline, beryl, and quartz arebeing mined from these macrolitic pegmatite’s (Laurset al., 1998). Famous tourmaline crystal (10cm) ofPakistan is found in Stuk Nala of Nanga ParbatHaramosh Massif (Laurs et al., 1998).

Published: December 2020

La pandemia del Covid-19 y la medida sanitaria adoptada mediante el confinamiento de la población a nivel global con diferentes grados e intensidades para tratar de controlar los contagios han afectado prácticamente a todos los sectores de la población y a las formas y maneras de desarrollar el trabajo. A escala global, las medidas de confinamiento han supuesto, al mismo tiempo, el cierre de los centros educativos en todos sus niveles. Dicha medida ha impulsado, en su mayoría, que la educación pasara de la modalidad presencial a la modalidad online. Los organismos internacionales recomendarían el desarrollo de protocolos de contingencia y adaptación de la docencia a las Instituciones de Educación Superior. En este sentido, las universidades públicas españolas, ante el inminente inicio de curso, han desarrollado sus planes de enseñanza y de contingencia para el curso 2020-21 siguiendo las recomendaciones del Ministerio de Universidades. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar qué modalidades de enseñanza presencial, mixta u online han propuesto las 50 universidades públicas españolas. Para ello se empleó la metodología del análisis de contenido cualitativo sobre más de 50 documentos ubicados en las páginas web de las universidades que permitirían la elaboración de una serie de categorías para clasificar las metodologías en los diferentes escenarios presentados por las universidades. Las principiales metodologías empleadas por las universidades públicas en la actual “nueva normalidad” han sido la modalidad mixta y la modalidad presencial segura adaptada previendo transitar a la modalidad online si la situación sanitaria lo exige.

Actualmente el sector camaronero del Ecuador es uno de los sectores no petroleros con mayor proyección de crecimiento hacia el mercado internacional. A pesar del auge de este sector, la mayoría de los pequeños productores de camarón toman sus decisiones operativas en función del conocimiento empírico del negocio, sin considerar datos históricos ni ninguna herramienta científica como fundamento de sus decisiones. En este trabajo implementamos y comparamos técnicas de aprendizaje estadístico de vanguardia para la predicción del nivel de cosecha de camarón blanco Litopenaeus vannamei de una pequeña camaronera ubicada en la parroquia Tenguel del cantón Guayaquil, Ecuador. Datos de 35 pescas que corresponden a 7 ciclos se usaron como datos. Luego se hicieron predicciones reales de cosecha para los dos siguientes ciclos. Las técnicas comparadas son: Regresión Lineal Múltiple (RLM) por mínimos cuadrados, Árbol de Regresión CART, Bosques Aleatorios, Regresión adaptativa multivariante por tramos (MARS) y Máquinas de Soporte Vectorial (SVM). MARS sin interacciones, el modelo de RLM aditivo con selección de predictores por Best Subset Selection y SVM con Núcleo lineal produjeron un menor error de predicción por Validación Cruzada. El buen rendimiento predictivo de estos métodos fue confirmado con buenos resultados de predicción real en los dos siguientes ciclos. El uso de técnicas estadísticas de vanguardia puede ser de gran ayuda para obtener predicciones confiables, y, por tanto, para mejorar los procesos operativos de las pequeñas camaroneras.
