Authors: Chen Jianguo , Huan Chaoran , Zhang Tongtong , Gong Wuqing , Deng Xiaofeng , Liu Hua , Liu Jinbo , Guo Yuanbiao
Published: June 2021

Several clinical studies showed that statins were potential to treat polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through comprehensive search PubMed, EMBASE, the Web of Science, BIOSIS, the ClinialTrails.gov, and the Cochrane Library database up to 14 Feb 2020, we identified the randomized controlled trials about the treatment of statins on hyperandrogenism in PCOS women, and performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. The quality of the included studies was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Jadda score. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted to analyze the pooled results. Nine trials included 682 PCOS patients were identified. Statins showed a significant potential to reduce testosterone (SMD=-0.47; 95% CI, -0.76−-0.18; P = 0.002) and dehydroepiandrosterone (SMD=-0.51; 95% CI, -0.97−-0.05; P = 0.03) levels, compared to the control treatments. The cutaneous symptoms hirsutism (SMD=-0.61; 95% CI, -1.13−-0.10; P = 0.02) and acne (SMD=-0.92; 95% CI, -1.49−-0.34; P = 0.002) were significantly improved by statins in PCOS women. Subgroup analysis showed that the two types of statins, and the different control treatments as well, presented no significantly different effect on testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone. Sensitivity analysis confirmed the stability of the findings from the meta-analysis. In conclusion, statin treatment could significantly reduce androgen levels and improve cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism of PCOS.
Access to Political Rights in Switzerland: Critique of the Naturalisation Process as a Source of Exclusion
Authors: Boillet Véronique , Demay Clémence
Published: June 2021

In this article, we analyse and discuss the legal criteria granting access to facilitated naturalisation in Switzerland. Among the possible legal criteria, marriage to a Swiss citizen as a criterion for obtaining citizenship is emblematic of the conservative political background in this country. It is also influenced by gendered stereotypes within the law itself and its application. We argue in favour of a critical approach to the law in order to avoid the erasure of categories of individuals who are relegated to society's margins. In a healthy democracy and judicial system, the law ought to be designed so as to avoid reproducing exclusionary bias. In this regard, we also discuss why acceding to citizenship is a prerequisite for exercising one's political rights and thus, achieving inclusion in Switzerland

Cet article propose une analyse critique des conditions légales permettant un accès facilité à la naturalisation et donc à l’exercice des droits politiques en Suisse. Parmi celles-ci, l’exigence du mariage avec un citoyen suisse comme critère d'obtention de la citoyenneté est emblématique du contexte politique conservateur suisse. Nous verrons non seulement que cette condition consacre des stéréotypes sexuels dans la loi elle-même, mais également qu’elle en crée de nouveaux lors de son application. Fortes de ce constat, nous proposons une approche critique de la loi visant à éviter la reproduction de préjugés d’exclusion et l'effacement de catégories d’individus.

Dieser Artikel analysiert und diskutiert die Kriterien für den Zugang zur erleichterten Einbürgerung in der Schweiz. Gerade die Eheschliessung mit einer Schweizerin oder einem Schweizer als Kriterium ist bezeichnend für den konservativen politischen Hintergrund hierzulande. Das Recht und seine Anwendung wird dabei von geschlechtsspezifischen Stereotypen beeinflusst. Wir plädieren für einen kritischen Umgang mit dem Gesetz, um zu vermeiden, dass gewisse Personengruppen an den Rand der Gesellschaft gedrängt werden. In einer gesunden Demokratie sollte das Rechtsystem so gestaltet sein, dass es keine ausgrenzenden Vorurteile reproduziert. In diesem Zusammenhang erörtern wir auch, weshalb der Erwerb der Staatsbürgerschaft eine Voraussetzung für die Ausübung der politischen Rechte und damit für die Verwirklichung der Integration in der Schweiz ist.
Development of Bottle Gourd Lines Resistant to Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus Using Ethyl Methanesulfonate Mutagenesis
Authors: Al-Kubati Asma Mohammed Saeed , Kang Baoshan , Liu Liming , Abbas Aqleem , Gu Qinsheng
Published: June 2021

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) causes serious damage to cucurbit crops worldwide and can be spread by aphids, by mechanical injury, and in seeds. With the popularization of cucurbit grafting, the use of susceptible rootstock has increased the risk of ZYMV infection in cucurbit crops. In China, the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is a widely used rootstock in grafted watermelon production. However, few resistant bottle gourds are available commercially. This study developed bottle gourd lines resistant to ZYMV using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis. A new mutated bottle gourd population (M1) was generated by treating seeds with EMS. Diverse phenotypes were observed in the seedlings, flowers, and fruit of M2 plants, some of which are of potential commercial interest, such as dwarfing and different fruit shapes. Based on the M2 phenotypes, 106 M3 lines were selected and screened for resistance to ZYMV by mechanical inoculation and agroinfiltration. Nine M3 lines were resistant to ZYMV during three tests. One inbred M4 line (177-8) was developed and showed stable resistance and no virus when tested using a double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction. These resistant lines are promising materials for developing watermelon rootstock and exploring resistance genes as new ZYMV-resistant resources. EMS induction could be a practical strategy for creating resistant cucurbit crops.
Quantum hypothesis testing in many-body systems
Authors: de Boer Jan , Godet Victor , Kastikainen Jani , Keski-Vakkuri Esko
Published: June 2021

One of the key tasks in physics is to perform measurements in order to determine the state of a system. Often, measurements are aimed at determining the values of physical parameters, but one can also ask simpler questions, such as ``is the system in state A or state B?''. In quantum mechanics, the latter type of measurements can be studied and optimized using the framework of quantum hypothesis testing. In many cases one can explicitly find the optimal measurement in the limit where one has simultaneous access to a large number n of identical copies of the system, and estimate the expected error as n becomes large. Interestingly, error estimates turn out to involve various quantum information theoretic quantities such as relative entropy, thereby giving these quantities operational meaning.
In this paper we consider the application of quantum hypothesis testing to quantum many-body systems and quantum field theory. We review some of the necessary background material, and study in some detail the situation where the two states one wants to distinguish are parametrically close. The relevant error estimates involve quantities such as the variance of relative entropy, for which we prove a new inequality. We explore the optimal measurement strategy for spin chains and two-dimensional conformal field theory, focusing on the task of distinguishing reduced density matrices of subsystems. The optimal strategy turns out to be somewhat cumbersome to implement in practice, and we discuss a
possible alternative strategy and the corresponding errors.

El trabajo: “Modelo sistémico de participación ciudadana basado en TIC’s para mejorar la gestión pública de los gobiernos locales en Perú” plantea el problema de la influencia de la participación ciudadana basado en TIC’s en la mejora de la gestión pública, con el objetivo de poder determinar si existe una correlación entre dichas variables, de manera que se pueda modelar la participación ciudadana en la prospectiva de utilizar plataformas que integren a nuevos ciudadanos, quienes puedan participar activamente en su gobierno local y se legitimase la acción pública. La investigación es descriptiva, se utilizó el método inductivo y deductivo, además del método prospectivo, ya que se pretende con el análisis de hoy explicar o anteponer mejoras para el futuro. El diseño es no experimental longitudinal, porque analiza el proceso de participación ciudadana, que está normado por el Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas, referente a los presupuestos participativos. Los principales hallazgos son que existe un nivel de eficiencia pública del 72% cuando existe participación ciudadana, además que de manera prospectiva nos presenta que la participación con TIC”s se acorta en 50% los tiempos en cuanto a ejecución relacionado a los proyectos de inversión local. Existe una relación directa entre la gobernabilidad y la participación ciudadana, cuyo chi cuadrado es menor a 0,05.

Marketing potential of the Sino-Russian bilateral agricultural export market
Authors: Fenghe Zhang , Medvid Viktoriia , Xu Lu
Published: June 2021

China and Russia are important agricultural countries in the world. Expanding exports and increasing sales of agricultural products play an important role in the economic development of both countries. To understand the current situation of agricultural exports of the two countries and formulate strategies to expand the marketing of agricultural products, this paper uses the UN Comtrade Database 2009-2018 on Chinese and Russian bilateral agricultural export sales and other trade data to calculate the (expansion margin) and (price margin) of agricultural exports, (quantity margin), to analyze the types, prices, and quantities of exported agricultural products. The results show that China exports to Russia mainly labor-intensive types of agricultural products such as processed agricultural and horticultural products, accounting for 87.46% of total agricultural exports on average. The increase in exports is mainly due to the continuous increase in the prices of exported agricultural products. Russia exports to China mainly land-intensive types of agricultural products such as animal products, grains, oilseeds and fat products, which accounted for an average of 79.07% of total agricultural exports. The increase in exports was mainly due to the continuous increase in types and quantities of agricultural products to develop the export potential of agricultural products and expand sales. In addition, China should expand the types and quantities of agricultural products exported, and Russia should increase the added value of agricultural products and raise the export prices of agricultural products.
Role of institutional quality in economic development: A case study of Asian countries
Authors: Kim Thi Tran Oanh , Dinh Le Hac , Hong Viet Nguyen Anh
Published: June 2021

The paper investigates the impact of institutional quality on economic growth by taking 48 countries in Asia between 2005 and 2018. By using the quantile regression methods with panel data, institutional quality is found to be a key factor of economic development. However, in the lower-income Asian countries, the institution with better quality appears to promote the growth more effectively than in the higher-income ones. Moreover, the paper also finds out a nonlinear relationship between institutions and economic growth. The results show that there is an institutional threshold for economic growth to reach its highest level. If the institution indicator exceeds the threshold, it causes the reverse effect on the growth. Moreover, the economic growth of Asian countries is also affected by inflation (INF), labor force (LABO), trade openness (OPEN), and infrastructure (TELE). From that, the study suggests some policy implications for Asian countries and Vietnam, in particular, in order to improve institutions contributing to economic growth.
Racionalidad humana: explicaciones desde la ciencia cognitiva y la filosofía de la lógica
Authors: Ramos García Gabrielle
Published: June 2021

En lo que sigue buscaré responder a la pregunta sobre la posibilidad de la integración de dos programas de investigación distintos sobre la racionalidad humana: por un lado, algunos programas filosóficos de corte cognitivista (Stanovich, 2002, 2009, 2016) y por el otro, programas de investigación sobre el razonamiento lógico de agentes humanos y criterios de normatividad (Harman, 1984; Morado, 2003; Aliseda, 2004). Mi respuesta a tal cuestionamiento será afirmativa. Para defenderla, procederé de la siguiente manera: primero, en la sec. 2 ofreceré los antecedentes y características de la noción cognitivista de “inteligencia” que cuenta con mayor aceptación en la actualidad, la teoría general de la inteligencia, también conocida como factor g. A lo largo de la sec. 3 expondré los elementos por los cuales se ha considerado que si bien factor g logra evaluar satisfactoriamente el fenómeno de la inteligencia, soslaya características relevantes desde la perspectiva de lo que se ha considerado racionalidad (Sternberg, 1985; Stanovich, 2009). Luego, en la sec. 4, presentaré algunas nociones de “racionalidad” disponibles en la literatura de filosofía de la lógica (Harman, 1984; Morado, 2003; Aliseda, 2004) y evaluaré cuáles son los elementos distintivos de cada una de estas caracterizaciones. En la sec. 5 defenderé que es posible mejorar la comprensión que tenemos de los estilos cognitivos a partir de los elementos de filosofía de la lógica expuestos en la sección cuatro.
El sentido sistemático de la lectura hegeliana de Plotino
Authors: Montecinos Fabio Sergio , Serey Aguilera Juan
Published: June 2021

Existe una afinidad entre la filosofía de Hegel y el neoplatonismo que el propio filósofo se encargó de señalar. Sostenemos que esta afinidad tiene razones de orden sistemático e involucra aspectos teóricos y prácticos de ambas filosofías. Para argumentar en dicha dirección abordaremos el tratamiento de la filosofía de Plotino en las Lecciones hegelianas sobre la historia de la filosofía. Buscaremos mostrar que, para Hegel, Plotino elabora en la Antigüedad, por primera vez, una compleja síntesis de los principios filosóficos que anteceden a su propio pensamiento. Por este motivo, la exposición especulativa hegeliana adscribe al neoplatonismo la categoría lógica de totalidad. En esta síntesis de principios finitos —que buscaremos determinar en el artículo—, Hegel reconoce tareas y problemas cercanos a los de su filosofía, ¿pero podemos afirmar por esto que la filosofía de Hegel es un neoplatonismo moderno, o hay un punto en el que ambos proyectos revelan tener una incompatibilidad fundamental?
Las humanidades en tiempos del Antropoceno: en el umbral entre humanismo y posthumanismo
Authors: Muñoz-González Diana María
Published: June 2021

Frente al anuncio del Antropoceno como la nueva era geológica en la que el ser humano ha llegado a convertirse en la principal fuerza telúrica del planeta, las humanidades se ven claramente solicitadas. Ellas deben revisar a fondo la concepción usual del ser humano definido a partir de su distinción esencial frente a la naturaleza. En esa tarea se les ofrecen dos caminos a seguir: uno conserva premisas fundamentales de la tradición humanista, mientras el otro busca separarse de dicha tradición y abrirse a un nuevo paradigma de pensamiento posthumanista. Este artículo contrasta ambos enfoques, preguntándose cuál de ellos da mejor cuenta del Antropoceno en cuanto evento cuya novedad invita a redefinir lo que significa ser humano.
Hobbes y la tolerancia religiosa: una lectura de Leviatán desde el concepto de “religión”
Authors: Pezoa Gutiérrez Álvaro A.
Published: June 2021

En el artículo se analiza la posibilidad de encontrar una aproximación favorable a la tolerancia religiosa en Leviatán. Para ello, se contraponen dos grupos interpretativos sobre el tema: por un lado, los comentadores más apegados a una lectura “tradicional” de la obra hobbesiana, para quienes hablar de tolerancia religiosa en los textos de Hobbes tiene poco o ningún sentido; por otro, quienes defienden una lectura “revisionista”, llegando incluso a sostener que Hobbes estaba completamente de acuerdo con la tolerancia religiosa. En segundo lugar, se propone una lectura desde el concepto hobbesiano de “religión”, reconstruyéndolo con las caracterizaciones expuestas en Leviatán. Finalmente, se contraponen las corrientes interpretativas con la reconstrucción del concepto de “religión”, determinando en qué sentido se puede hablar de tolerancia religiosa en la obra de Hobbes.

Published: June 2021

No cenário econômico atual, uma das maiores dificuldades é manter a competitividade no mercado, principalmente no segmento de serviços, o qual é volátil e na faixa das micro e pequenas empresas há constantes concorrências acirradas. Diante dessa situação, este trabalho propõe um estudo sobre as técnicas e metodologias de gestão de projetos, visto que uma gestão eficiente permite maximizar o controle das atividades. Dessa forma, é possível prever perdas e ganhos com exatidão. As ferramentas apresentadas permitem uma análise de aplicação tanto de metodologias em cascata, ou seja, as convencionais, quanto as ágeis e permite realizar uma comparação de sua utilização na gestão de projetos em empresas de engenharia com escopos industriais. Considerando todas as peculiaridades desse segmento e, de ambas a metodologias, é possível obter resultados satisfatórios, pois esse porte de empresa consegue se flexibilizar para adaptar ambos os métodos e assim gerir cada projeto por sua especificidade obtendo assim êxitos tanto financeiros quanto operacionais. Empresas de micro e pequeno porte precisam estar abertas às opções disponíveis e definir procedimentos e processos, mas não se sujeitar a gerir seus projetos entre métodos convencionais ou ágeis, pois tendem a ter um risco maior que grandes companhias e suas reservas, logo é necessário para cada empresa desenvolver as técnicas que melhor lhe satisfaçam em sua atuação.

A controladoria se desenvolve como um órgão cujo principal objetivo consiste em auxiliar na gestão das empresas, fornecer subsídios informacionais úteis e assertivos e assegurar a obtenção de resultados positivos. Entretanto, a literatura associada ao tema ainda carece de conceituações claras, o que envolve o estabelecimento de suas funções. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo busca identificar e discutir acerca das funções inerentes à controladoria em uma rede varejista de supermercados. Para a consecução desse objetivo, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa do problema, sendo operacionalizada através de um estudo de caso. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas, observações participantes e análise documental. Os resultados obtidos permitiram identificar e concluir que a empresa estudada está de acordo com as funções da controladoria consideradas pela literatura pesquisada, mesmo que possua algumas dificuldades e limitações no desempenho das mesmas. Ademais, a empresa não possui um órgão oficial denominado de controladoria em sua estrutura interna, sendo muitas das funções desempenhadas e acompanhadas por um comitê gestor.
The Relationship of Hadith Style to the Social Society of the Nusantara: A Study on Qami 'Al-Tughyan by Nawawi Al-Bantani
Authors: Pangestu Perdana Putra
Published: June 2021

One of the nusantara scholars with famous work inscriptions is Nawawi al-Bantani. These works are recorded in a multidisciplinary scope, one of which is Qami 'al-Tughyan. The significance of this research lies in the influence of environmental factors of Nawawi in the nusantara which have an influence on the style of writing, especially in the field of hadith. This study aims to reveal the facts of causality with the orientation of the literature analysis surrounding Nawawi's notes in compiling the Qami' al-Tughyan. The author will take an inductive qualitative approach by conducting a literature review through related literatures, derived from the object variables in the first ten sections (syu'bah) of the book Qami 'al-Tughyan. Then, the data will be explored in order to produce comprehensive and optimal research results. This research proves that the work recording model used by Nawawi is a causal representation of the situation in the nusantara, especially with regard to the practice of imperialism towards the indigenous people.
Societies Need New Perspectives on Race and Ethnicity: Societies in Harmony (Religious Context)
Authors: Kurt Ibrahim
Published: June 2021

After many centuries, humankinds have reached today’s time by passing the centuries’ gatherings to their offspring. The civilizations which were established in the different part of the world have had their own culture according to their needs, religions, daily routines etc. One more step from here to cultural and traditional attitudes which were risen and had been started to show them on individual’s behaviors and ideas. During these periods, the individuals specifically have learned and understood life from their societies. So, individuals’ behaviors and attitudes are shaped according to societies what cultural arguments they have. The perception and understanding of arguments can be different in those many centuries but there have -always- been race and ethnicity. The interpreting of the terms specifically has shown itself weakly or strongly from the deep sight of the history till now. This article has a general glance at race and ethnicity for seeking and finding the middle path in the societies. It is important to study on race and ethnicity and to build a new understanding and perspective for humans and how to bring positive ideas for societies and nations.

Published: June 2021

Flexible beam structure is usually applied in various fields of engineering and industrial. There are few points of interest using flexible structure and one of the advantages is that its lighter compared to a rigid structure. Besides that, flexible beam also can save cost, reduce energy consumption, and improve operation safety. However, flexible beam structures are too sensitive and susceptible to with unwanted vibration that would cause damage or degradation to the structure system. Hence, to overcome the problem, appropriate modelling and controller for such systems should be developed. Currently, there are plenty of methods that have been developed by researchers to suppress undesired vibration. Based on previous studies, most researchers nowadays use system identification (SI) as a modelling technique to develop a dynamic model of flexible structure via swarm intelligence algorithm (SIA). Therefore, two type of algorithms was used in this work for modelling development of flexible beam structure, which are ant colony optimization (ACO) and cuckoo search algorithm (CSA). Based on the comparative results, CSA achieved the lowest mean square error (MSE) value of 6.1547×10-9 meanwhile ACO recorded a MSE of 1.0728×10-8. Moreover, CSA was deduced to be the best model for flexible beam structure because it achieved 95 % confidence level in correlation test and has excellent stability in pole-zero diagram system. Thus, CSA is a suitable algorithm to represent the real behavior of flexible beam structure in a system.

Learning styles of ethnic minority students: a matched case-control study in a dental school in Latin America
Authors: Ardila Medina Carlos Martín , Gómez Restrepo Angela María
Published: June 2021

Introduction and objective: Little is known about the learning styles of ethnic minorities in Latin American universities. The objective of this research was to identify the learning styles of the ethnic minorities attending a dental school. Moreover, their grade point averages were explored. Materials and methods: A total of 30 ethnic minority students were matched with 30 non-minority students. All the students took a systematized questionnaire to categorize their learning styles. Results: A strong association between ethnic minority students and low reflector style was observed in the multivariate model after adjusting for age, sex, and the current semester (OR=11; 95% CI=1.2-99; p=0.03). In addition, a relevant association between minority ethnic group and low theorist style was observed in the multivariate model after controlling for the same variables (OR= 4; 95% CI=1.2-11; p=0.02). Finally, a statistically significant difference was observed in the grade point averages of non-minority and minority groups, with the minority group having the loweraverages (p=0.014). Conclusions: Ethnic minority students presented lower means for all learning styles compared to the control group. Similarly, theirgrade point averages were significantly inferior. These findings represent relevant precedents for creating educational strategies to improve the learning of ethnic minority groups in higher education in Latin America.

The article is devoted to Vladimir Alexandrovich Gutorov, whose 70th birthday was celebrated on December 7, 2020. Vladimir Gutorov is a polyglot and polymath, a world-renowned scientist, a leading national specialist in the history of socio-political thought, political philosophy and modern political theories, one of the organizers of the first university departments of political science in Russia (1989) and its head (since 1994), founder of an authoritative pedagogical and scientific school of the history of socio-political thought, political theory and political education at St. Petersburg State University, Honorary Professor of the Faculty of Political Science, Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov. He was one of the few in Soviet science who defended his doctoral dissertation in the form of a monograph. His monograph Ancient social utopia: questions of history and theory, published by the publishing house of Leningrad University in 1989, is recognized as one of the best Russian studies devoted to the problems of the genesis of social thought in Ancient Greece and various ancient projects of political reconstruction. Since the publication of the book on ancient utopia and the defense of his doctoral dissertation, Gutorov has become one of the most prominent representatives of the St. Petersburg school of modern Russian political science, an authoritative scientist recognized in Russia and the world.
THE PALESTINIAN CASE AND ITS PLACE ON RUSSIA’S FOREIGN POLICY AGENDA
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Korochkina Victoria
Published: June 2021

The events of the “Arab spring” and its consequences as well as the “Iranian threat”, which became a key security challenge for the Gulf States, not without the efforts of Benjamin Netanyahu and supported by the pro-Israel Trump administration (2016-2020), seemed to have removed the Palestinian case from the priority list of Middle East issues. The role of Russia, the traditional partner of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) since Soviet times, also looked more low- key after the collapse of the Soviet Empire, especially amid resolution of the military-political crisis in Syria. Russian diplomacy on the Palestinian track remained unnoticed compared to the activity in the region of Donald Trump’s envoys, who promoted a peace plan for settling the Palestinian-Israeli conflict known as the “deal of the century”. Having failed to achieve the main goal, the White House contributed to the signing of the “The Abraham Accords”, which was a breakthrough given that the Arab states declared the solution of the Palestinian issue as precondition for formal relations with the Jewish state. If Arab-Israeli normalization continues, Israel will have peace treaties with more than half of the Arab and Muslim states despite the deadlock in the peace process with the Palestinians. Based on the analysis of political processes amid the unresolved Palestinian problem, and above all, Russia’s attempts as a mediator to achieve a settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the author suggests that the Palestinian issue has not lost its political significance and relevance as much as the Israeli government under Netanyahu tries to sell it.
THE POLITICAL WORLDVIEW OF VKONTAKTE COMMUNITIES: THE EXPERIENCE OF ANALYZING THE SUBJECTIVE SPACE OF POLITICS IN A NETWORK SOCIETY
Authors:   Kuban State University, Samarkina Irina
Published: June 2021

The article presents the results of a theoretical analysis of the political worldview as part of the subjective space of politics in a network society and its empirical verification. The author shows that the integration of phenomenology and the network approach allows researchers to advance their understanding of content and parameters of the political worldview of network communities as part of the subjective space of modern public policy. The analysis of the discourse of network communities makes it possible to identify, describe and analyze the features of their political worldview. The author presents an original methodology, created within the framework of the RFBR research project "Subjective Space of Politics: Opportunities and Challenges of a Network Society", for studying the political world view of network communities and the empirical results obtained with its usage. In particular, the typology of political worldviews existing in network communities is described. It reflects the structural and substantive components of the political worldview in the discourse of network communities: the core of the political worldview (reflecting the ontological level of the political worldview, including images of the Motherland, state, power), political roles, political institutions (the last two clusters reflect the basic level of the political worldview elements), political participation (reflects the instrumental level of the political worldview), socio-political problems). The typology of political worldviews of network communities identified (zero, horizontal, non-political, activity and political world view of active resistance) requires verification in further research. An important result of the empirical analysis is the identification of two political worldview profiles (closed and open) and their connection with the dominant type of participant socio-political activity in network communities. Further study in this direction will improve analytical and predictive tools for research and practical work with network communities.
ATENÇÃO À SAÚDE BUCAL DE GESTANTES NO BRASIL: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA
Authors: Souza Georgia Costa de Araújo , Christian Fernandes Medeiros Raphael , Paulino Rodrigues Maísa , Barbalho Guedes Emiliano Gustavo
Published: June 2021

Introdução: O acompanhamento odontológico das gestantes pode propiciar inúmeros benefícios para a mãe e o bebê. Entretanto, ainda não são todas as gestantes que têm acesso ao pré-natal odontológico no Brasil, embora atenção à saúde de forma integral seja uma prioridade no período gestacional. Objetivo: O presente estudo objetivou identificar os aspectos gerais da atenção à saúde bucal das gestantes brasileiras atendidas na Atenção Básica de saúde disponíveis nas publicações científicas. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão integrativa da literatura. A pesquisa dos artigos foi realizada nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, BBO e SciELO, considerando o intervalo de ano de publicação entre 2010 e 2020. Resultados: Foram selecionados 17 artigos científicos, cujo conteúdo foi categorizado em quatro conjuntos: Conhecimento das gestantes acerca da saúde bucal, Hábitos de higiene bucal das gestantes, Condição de saúde bucal das gestantes e Atenção à saúde bucal das gestantes. Ainda existe desconhecimento de muitas gestantes sobre o que é o pré-natal odontológico e sua importância. Estudos apontam que algumas não são orientadas durante o pré-natal a realizar consultas com o cirurgião-dentista. As gestantes usam a escova e creme dental habitualmente, mas o fio dental não faz parte da rotina de higienização bucal. Dentre os problemas bucais, a cárie e a doença periodontal podem ser encontradas com maior frequência, principalmente entre as gestantes que possuem uma menor renda e menor nível de escolaridade. Foi mais comum as gestantes estarem inseridas em ações de educação em saúde. Conclusão: Conclui-se que as gestantes atendidas na Atenção Básica de saúde possuem poucas informações sobre saúde bucal, convivem com os mitos odontológicos e apresentam medo de se submeter à assistência por meio do tratamento odontológico durante o período gestacional. Ademais, apresentam saúde bucal precária e encontram barreiras no acesso aos serviços de saúde bucal.

Introdução: Neonatos pré-termos apresentam singularidades anatomofisiológicas predispondo-os a complicações respiratórias como a Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Aguda. Caracterizada pelo déficit de surfactante pulmonar e consequente insuficiência respiratória, aumentando a necessidade de suporte ventilatório invasivo e não invasivo. Objetivo: Analisar os efeitos da ventilação não invasiva em recém-nascidos prematuros com Síndrome do Desconforto Respiratório Aguda. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa no qual utilizou-se das bases de dados: SciELO, LILACS, PEDro, MEDLINE e Bireme. Os critérios de inclusão foram estudos relacionados a temática em português, inglês e espanhol; completos e com publicação entre 2015 a 2020. Resultados: Nos 7 estudos sintetizados houve a utilização dos sistemas de suporte ventilatório: pressão positiva em vias aéreas a dois níveis: cânulas nasais aquecidas, umidificadas e de alto fluxo; ventilação de pressão positiva nas vias aéreas nasal, e a ventilação por pressão positiva intermitente nasal. Dois estudos que utilizaram cânulas nasais apontaram efeitos menos benéficos; e um relatou desfechos semelhantes aos demais, além de provocar menor dano nasal. Conclusões: Os recursos analisados obtiveram resultados equivalentes, apontando a eficácia da ventilação por pressão positiva e da pressão positiva intermitente na extubação. Com destaque para a necessidade de pesquisas no uso de cânulas nasais de alto fluxo.
PERFIL DOS CASOS DE SÍFILIS CONGÊNITA NO RIO GRANDE DO NORTE: ESTUDO DE SÉRIE TEMPORAL
Authors: Kelle de Sousa Ferreira Francisca , Carine Arruda Rolim Ana , Bonfada Diego
Published: June 2021

Objetivo:  Analisar a incidência, a mortalidade e o perfil dos casos de sífilis congênita no Rio Grande do Norte entre 2014 e 2018. Metodologia:  Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, quantitativo, ecológico, realizado com dados de sífilis congênita registrados no Sinan.. Resultados: A taxa de incidência e mortalidade por sífilis congênita duplicaram no Estado no período analisado. A maioria das crianças foi diagnosticada com menos de 7 dias após o nascimento, sendo mais predominante em filhos de mães com idade entre 20 e 29 anos, com baixa escolaridade e pardas, que foram diagnosticadas com sífilis recente e que tiveram acesso ao pré-natal. A maioria teve o diagnóstico da sífilis materna durante o pré-natal, mas não realizou tratamento adequado e o parceiro não recebeu tratamento. Conclusões: Os achados apontam para necessidade de estratégias para qualificação da atenção pré-natal com intuito de evitar a transmissão vertical, especialmente nesses grupos mais susceptíveis e vulneráveis.

Palavras-Chave: Sífilis Congênita. Transmissão vertical. Notificação de doenças. Cuidado pré-natal.
EL DERECHO A RECURSO COMO DERECHO FUNDAMENTAL EN LOS PROCESOS CIVILES CHILENOS, A LA LUZ DE LA JURISPRUDENCIA
Authors:   Universidad de Atacama, Chile, Vieyra Luna Evelyn
Published: June 2021

El objetivo principal de este artículo es examinar si el derecho a recurso constituye un derecho fundamental en los procesos civiles. El método empleado ha sido verificar la normativa vigente; recoger los argumentos de las posiciones doctrinales al respecto y analizarlos a la luz de la Jurisprudencia, principalmente, de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos y del Tribunal Constitucional. Para estos efectos, se recogieron 14 sentencias de la CIDH, en las cuales los juristas reposan sus argumentos. Asimismo, se realizó un barrido de las sentencias dictadas por el TC, desde el año 2003 a julio del 2019, ascendiendo la revisión en un total de 5963 sentencias, de las cuales 71 de ellas, se relacionaron con el “derecho a recurso”, de forma específica. El resultado ha sido la constatación de que, en el derecho chileno, el derecho a recurrir no constituye un derecho fundamental en los procesos civiles.
EL CONSENTIMIENTO DE LA VÍCTIMA EN EL ACOSO SEXUAL LABORAL
Authors: Vera García Rodrigo Hernán
Published: June 2021

La introducción normativa del acoso sexual en nuestro ordenamiento, produjo la necesidad de abarcar un análisis de sus elementos constitutivos. De esta forma, hasta ahora se entendía -por definición- que el acoso sexual se trata de una conducta indeseada por la víctima que vulnera sus derechos fundamentales. A través de este trabajo, empero, intentamos abordar la labor de determinar cuáles son los contornos de dicho consentimiento, evidenciando la existencia -en su origen- de elementos culturales que reproducen estereotipos que en definitiva oscurecen el correcto entendimiento de este fenómeno. De este modo, buscamos establecer criterios de interpretación respetuosos del derecho de género, que faciliten su aplicación, en el sentido de entender que la exigibilidad normativa relativa a la falta de consentimiento, no constituye una causal de exclusión del acoso sexual, sino el objeto mismo de protección de la norma.
LA EXTENSIÓN DE BENEFICIOS EN EL MODELO DE RELACIONES LABORALES CHILENO: CONSIDERACIONES PARA UNA NUEVA CONSTITUCIÓN
Authors: Cuevas Suárez Vinicio
Published: June 2021

El presente artículo analiza y sistematiza el mecanismo de extensión de beneficios de un contrato colectivo en el modelo de relaciones laborales chileno, regulado en el artículo 322 del Código del Trabajo, desde la entrada en vigencia de la Reforma Laboral de la ley Nº20.940; dentro de cuyas coordenadas debe moverse la negociación colectiva actualmente. El análisis del mecanismo legal en cuestión, se realiza desde una perspectiva histórica y crítica, revisando sus orígenes hasta llegar a su actual modulación; para ello se analizan aspectos históricos, entre ellos, la incidencia que tiene el Plan Laboral en la construcción de la figura legal y la implicancia de su establecimiento y vigencia en la desnaturalización de la institución del contrato colectivo en nuestro sistema jurídico y consecuente afectación de la libertad sindical.

Structural Phylogeny of Different Allergens May Reveal Common Epitopic Footprint
Authors: Laha Anubhab , Bandopadhyay Rajib , Panja Anindya Sundar
Published: June 2021

Background:

The incidence of allergy has been increasing at an alarming rate over the
last few decades.

Objective:

Our present study aims to find out the structurally homologous motifs present in different
proteinaceous allergens.

Methods:

Significant number of protein sequences and their corresponding structures of various
pollen, fungal, bacterial, and food allergens were retrieved and the sequence and structural identity
were analyzed.

Results:

Intra- and inter-sequence along with their structural analysis of the proteinaceous allergens
revealed that no significant relationships exist among them. A few, but not the negligible number
of high structural similarities, were observed within different groups of allergens from fungus,
angiosperms, and animals (Aves and Mammalia).

Conclusion:

Our in silico study on thirty-six different allergens showed a significant level of structural
similarities among themselves, regardless of their sequences.
Utilization of Semi-continuous Algae Culture for the Treatment of Recycled Dairy Lagoon Wash Water
Authors: Schwartz Gregory , Ibekwe Mark , Lundquist Tryg , Murinda Shelton , Murry Marcia
Published: June 2021

Background:

Utilization of animal wastes in algal culture has proven to be challenging. The
utilization of “free” nutrients has drawn researchers and industry to develop business models that call
for the use of these free nutrients, which comes at a cost. Some of these costs include reduced productivity,
increased contamination, lower value target markets, and lower treatment capabilities (for
wastewater treatment applications). This paper evaluates the impact of dairy lagoon effluent on productivity
and wastewater treatment ability.

Methods:

Screened dairy lagoon wash water was fed to four three square meter outdoor open paddlewheel
algal cultivation reactors. The units were operated semi-continuously for one and a half years.
Seasonal productivity and nutrient uptake rates, for nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) were measured
against wastewater dilution requirements. Seasonal algal species dominance was also recorded.
Wastewater was added at two levels, and the lower level was supplemented with synthetic fertilizer.

Results:

Seasonal N uptake rates ranged from 0.5 to 1.2 grams of N uptake per square meter per day,
while P uptake ranged from 0.17 to 0.3 grams of P per square meter per day depending on season and
Hydraulic Residence Time (HRT). N removal efficiency ranged at 40 to 70% for semicontinuous operation,
depending on HRT, season, and dilution of influent wastewater, which was made up from 1.5% to
13% of the daily water exchange.

Conclusion:

Algal reactors tended to be N limited due to the inability to add enough dairy wastewater
to mitigate the high turbidity and dark color. Treatments with lower levels of added dairy wastewater
tended to show higher nutrient removal. Algal culture from dairy wash water could benefit from a pretreatment
step to reduce turbidity and color, thereby promoting algal growth and productivity.
