La ofensa a la dignidad humana en el trato al paria y al pobre.
Authors: Urbina Valor Laura Noemí
Published: April 2024

En el mundo globalizado en el que vivimos, asistimos a un inusitado aumento de refugiados políticos y a una dinámica migratoria que expone a esas personas y grupos a innumerables riesgos y vulnerabilidades. El Santo Padre señala que hoy existe “la tentación de hacer una cultura de muros, de levantar muros, muros en el corazón, muros en la tierra para evitar este encuentro con otras culturas, con otras personas” (FT,27). Para reflexionar sobre esta problemática, se consideran los aportes realizados por dos filósofas, Hannah Arendt y Adela Cortina, que abordan la cuestión del rechazo al otro que se encuentra en condiciones de vulnerabilidad -apátrida, refugiado, “sin hogar” o pobre- buscando dar cuenta filosófica de estos problemas en el contexto de la cultura occidental. Ambas consideran esta cuestión como un problema de índole ético - política, que nos concierne como seres humanos y que nos involucra.

Authors: Mancevich Dafne , Seré Juan Pablo
Published: April 2024

El artículo propone estudiar el fallo de la Cámara Nacional de Apelaciones en lo Civil dictado en la causa “Denegri” en clave de precedente. A tal fin, se lo compara con el caso internacional “Costeja” y se evalúa la pertinencia de su invocación por parte del tribunal argentino. A su vez, se considera, a la luz de la doctrina del precedente vertical, la jurisprudencia sobre responsabilidad de buscadores elaborada por la Corte Suprema argentina, cuyo caso central es “Rodríguez”. También se incluye un breve análisis del uso del precedente horizontal por parte de la Cámara. Finalmente, todas estas cuestiones son valoradas en función de lo que resolvió la Corte Suprema en “Denegri” y se propone una solución alternativa.
Reseña del libro Crisis ecológica.
Authors: Agosta Scarel Eduardo
Published: April 2024

La crisis ecológica no puede ser abordada si no es interdisciplinariamente. El libro “Crisis Ecológica” aporta mirada integral a través de la reflexión y el diálogo cordial entre teología, filosofía, historia, economía y trabajo social, y la expresión concreta de su mensaje en el ámbito de las relaciones internacionales, el problema de la contaminación local y la educación.

Abordar la cuestión ecológica requiere un cambio de mentalidad, que converge como punto de llegada en el concepto eco-teológico de ecología integral, que ofrece la encíclica Laudato Si’ del Papa Francisco. Esto invitará luego a una respuesta humana, una praxis, como punto de partida del profundo cambio necesario en la cultura, la economía, la tecno-ciencia y la política globales, a modo de conversión ecológica personal y comunitaria, a la que invita la encíclica, que será referida en un segundo tomo siguiente al presente texto.

Published: April 2024

Klaten Regency is one of the areas that has experienced changes in use over time, such as agricultural land becoming built-up or non-agricultural land. This has an impact on the increase in air temperature which can lead to the occurrence of the phenomenon of the Heat Island or Urban Heat Island. This study aims to determine the spatio-temporal variation of vegetation index value (NDVI), Surface Temperature and in Klaten Regency in 2013 - 2021 and determine the relationship between vegetation index value (NDVI) and UHI in Klaten Regency. The method used in this research is Landsat 8 image data processing such as NDVI, LST and UHI calculation to get the final result. Meanwhile, to get the relationship between NDVI and Surface Temperature related to the UHI phenomenon, simple regression testing was carried out. The results obtained from the processing results show that Klaten Regency is dominated by vegetation cover density with very high and high classifications despite the decrease in area from 2013 to 2021. Surface temperature in Klaten Regency is dominated by surface temperatures within the range of 25 - 28o C spread across the entire region from 2013 to 2021. The results of the linear regression have a coefficient value of r2 where the value shows results with a value of 0.377. The result of the coefficient of determination shows that the amount of influence obtained from the density of vegetation land cover with an average surface temperature of 37.7% where the rest can be influenced by other factors.
Penser des pédagogies queers

Nous souhaitons réfléchir à la possibilité d’un idéal queer (queertopie), à ce que cela signifie, ce qui l’empêche (antiqueer) dans un monde néolibéral et à ce qui pourrait la faire advenir, notamment par des méthodes pédagogiques et une réinterprétation des moyens artistiques. Notre analyse s’inspirera donc des théories marxiste (particulièrement de Antonio Gramsci) et anarchiste en y tentant une approche du queer avec l’aide des outils de l’antiracisme (grâce à tatiana nascimento), dans la visée d’une pratique indisciplinaire plutôt que transdisciplinaire afin de comprendre nos mécanismes de relationner et d’imaginer ensemble un possible monde queer.

Published: April 2024

Estruturas mistas madeira-concreto (MMC) ligadas por parafusos se destacam pelo seu comportamento dúctil. Porém, não foram encontrados modelos numéricos 3D de previsão do comportamento mecânico desse compósito. Assim, essa pesquisa explorou maneiras viáveis para a simulação de vigas MMC. As variáveis investigadas foram a consideração da inclinação (45° e 90°) e confinamento (Embedded region) do parafuso, valor do coeficiente de atrito estático (CAE) da interface concreto-madeira (sete valores) [modelos MR1C1], consideração de sete CAEs diferentes considerados em uma única análise (MR1C7), transição entre coeficiente de atrito estático e cinético (dezesseis modelos) [Modelos MR1D], parafusos simulados com elementos de treliça (MR1 e MR3) e elementos sólidos (MR2 e MR4), e madeira simulada como material isotrópico e ortotrópico (modelos MR3I e MR3O). Ao total vinte e nove simulações numéricas não lineares (física e geométrica) foram realizadas por meio do software Abaqus (2014). Assim, os resultados foram apresentados por meio da curva força x deflexão (fxd) e força x deslizamento (fxdes), além dos valores de rigidez inicial (Ki), rigidez de serviço (Kser), rigidez última (Ku) e de rigidez no colapso (Kc), além do tempo das simulações e distorção de malha. Nos resultados encontrou-se que para um único CAE na análise, o valor de 0 foi o que melhor simulou a curva fxd e fxdes. Já o modelo MR1C7 apresentou as curvas fxd e fxdes, e valores de rigidez Ki, Kser, Ku e Kc mais ajustados possíveis com os experimentos. Para parafusos inclinados (45°), tanto a consideração deste embebido (elemento de treliça) quanto com contato (elementos sólidos) não foi capaz de simular os resultados experimentais. Além disso, parafusos com elementos sólidos apresentam uma distorção de malha considerável, além da interação de contato tornar a simulação inviável. Para a variação do CAE para o cinético, foram encontrados sérios problemas de convergência para valores do coeficiente de decréscimo (dc) acima de 0,01. Já a madeira simulada como ortotrópica apresentou melhores resultados. Por fim, o tempo de simulação do modelo MR1C7 foi equivalente a 3,245 vezes o do MR1C1. De forma geral, apenas modelos numéricos com parafusos retos (90°) têm a capacidade de prever valores experimentais.

Published: April 2024

A pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe uma demanda pelo desenvolvimento de métodos diagnósticos e terapêuticos para essa doença causada pela infecção pelo SARS-CoV2. Embora muitos métodos tenham sido desenvolvidos, existe a necessidade de considerar as constantes mutações do vírus circulantes, bem como as variadas cepas virais. Além disso, é necessário levar em conta a diversidade genética das populações e das moléculas da defesa de cada hospedeiro. Nessa perspectiva, o presente trabalho objetivou identificar epítopos de uma das proteínas com maior estabilidade genética de SARS-CoV 2, a proteína E, que sejam capazes de interagir com maior especificidade com os receptores de linfócitos B (B Cell Receptor - BCR) e com alelos do antígeno leucocitário humano (Human Leucocyte Antigen - HLA) mais frequentes na população baiana. Observou-se que, na Proteína E de Sars-Cov-2, a região N-terminal, especificamente entre os aminoácidos 4 e 20; e a região C-terminal, especificamente entre os aa 50 e 70, são altamente promissoras para pesquisas que visam avaliar a resposta imune de SARS-CoV-2. Os três peptídeos triados e analisados pela dinâmica molecular 11-TLIVNSVLLF-20, 50-SLVKPSFYVY-59 e 54-PSFYVYSRVKNLNSS-68 são promissores para testes de imunogenicidade in vitro. Sabendo-se que a evolução da doença tem estreita relação com a imunidade adaptativa do hospedeiro, este estudo permite uma compreensão da melhor forma a resposta imune adaptativa da Sars-Cov-2, obtendo novos caminhos para seu diagnóstico e tratamento. Na perspectiva pedagógica, este trabalho se destaca por apresentar detalhadamente o método de análise empregado, facilitando novas abordagens in sílico, que de forma geral permite a redução tempo e de custo para pesquisa, não só para o estudo da COVID-19, quanto para outras doenças infecciosas.
Avicenna's Agent Intellect as a Completing Cause
Authors: Hennig Boris
Published: April 2024

Avicenna says that intellectual cognition involves the emanation of an intelligible form by the ‘agent intellect’ upon the human mind. This paper argues that in order to understand why he says this, we need to think of intellectual cognition as a special case of a much more general phenomenon. More specifically, Avicenna's introduction of an agent intellect will be shown to be a natural consequence of certain assumptions about the temporality, the completion, and the teleology of the causal processes by which things acquire forms.

Authors: Zhao Yanming , Zhang Nan , Perez Novo Claudina , Wang Yang , Zhang Luo
Published: April 2024

Background:

Histones have been associated with human diseases. However, the implication of extranuclear histone proteins and their potential mechanism in the pathophysiology of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) have not been thoroughly investigated. This study was designed to evaluate the role of histones in patients with CRS by comparing histone expression between patients and controls.

Methods:

Nasal polyp (NP) tissues were obtained, and their comprehensive gene expression profiles were investigated by microarray analysis. Differences in expression were verified by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. Cell culture and flow cytometry were used to evaluate the role of histones in the pathogenesis of polyps.

Results:

Significant differences in the microarray analysis were observed between the patient and control groups (P < 0.01). It was found by flow cytometry that the histone (H2BK) can promote cell apoptosis in NPs.

Conclusion:

Our results indicate that reduced expression of H2BK may contribute to the imbalance process of cell proliferation and apoptosis in CRS with NP.

Objective:

To analyze the prevalence of asthma in children who were born through CS and attended childcare centers.

Methods:

The data were obtained through an online survey that was answered anonymously by one of the parents; the survey inquired about the route of delivery of the child and the prevalence of BA, AR, and AD.

Results:

A total of 525 children were included. The frequency of births by vaginal, elective CS, or nonelective CS was 34.1%, 37.9%, and 28.0%, respectively, and the prevalence of BA, AR, and AD was 4.8%, 19.8%, and 12.4%, respectively. Multivariate analyses identified nonelective CS as a factor associated with the prevalence of BA (odds ratio: 3.51, P = 0.026).

Conclusion:

Our study shows that being born through nonelective CS can increase the probability of BA in children who attended daycare centers.

Public Health Centre facilities are integral to the healthcare system, playing a vital role in safeguarding public health at the primary level. These facilities, beyond delivering medical services, generate substantial quantities of medical waste due to various healthcare procedures. The management of medical waste in these centers presents challenges, notably the need for interim storage before third-party collection. Additionally, monthly solid medical waste transportation from all District health centers poses concerns about potential waste accumulation. This study falls into the category of descriptive research, aiming to provide an illustrative snapshot of current solid medical waste management. A survey at Public Health Centre X found that each polyclinic produces an average of 0.49 kg of solid medical waste daily, totaling 76.4 kg per month. Notably, all samples during packaging, transportation, and storage phases failed to meet specified criteria. Similarly, during sorting, the majority (83%) did not meet standards, with only one sample (16.3%) complying. This underscores the pressing need for staff training in medical waste procedures. To elevate medical waste management standards, health centers must integrate policies and regulations into their daily operations. Additionally, improving current facilities, infrastructure, and procedures is paramount to address this issue effectively. In conclusion, Public Health Centre facilities, vital for primary healthcare, grapple with medical waste management challenges. This study underscores the importance of immediate action in staff training and policy integration while investing in facility enhancements to achieve optimal medical waste management.

Published: April 2024

The use of gadgets covers every age group of society, including children, teenagers, adults and the elderly. Of each of these groups, the percentage of gadget users among teenagers is the largest, namely 98.20%, which means that almost all teenagers in Indonesia use gadgets in their daily lives. Excessive use of gadgets will have a negative impact on teenagers, one of which is a decrease in eye health caused by staring at gadget screens too often. This research aims to examine the results of Indonesian language research on the impact of gadget use on adolescent eye health. The method used in this research is a literature review, where the literature search was carried out via Google Scholar. The keywords used in Indonesian are "eye health" and "teenagers." Meanwhile, the keywords used in English are "gadget", "eye health" and "teenager". From the results of the study carried out, it can be concluded that there are 4 journals discussing the relationship between gadget use and eye health in adolescents, namely pupils and students at several schools and universities, and 1 journal analyzes the impact of gadget use on reducing visual acuity. The use of gadgets will have a positive impact on teenagers if they are able to use gadgets according to their function and needs, however, the use of gadgets also has a negative impact on teenagers if they are not used wisely and can even cause dependency if gadgets are used for an excessive period of time.
Analyzing Student Success Outcome Variables in Higher Education Utilizing the Chi-Square Test of Independence
Authors: Rost Jim Kenneth
Published: April 2024

For the past two decades student success measures such as student persistence, retention, and graduation rates have been a point of emphasis in higher education. These measures are often directly related to funding formulas for state public colleges and universities. Therefore, analyses of these data have become more critical to evaluating student success initiatives for faculty and administration at many institutions. However, while these data are often widely available there is very little higher education research on how they should be analyzed to assess student success initiatives, program evaluations, or teaching effectiveness at the institutional level.As student success outcome variables are categorical in nature, linear analyses of these data may prove rather difficult as a dependent variable without a significant amount of transformation. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide practitioners with a simple, yet powerful option for analyzing student success outcome variables utilizing the Chi-square test of independence. A case study approach was taken to illustrate how Chi-square can be used to specifically analyze the association between an experiential learning high impact practice and graduation rates among undergraduate students. This case was based on a results and interpretation perspective, rather than step-by-step instruction on how to perform the analysis itself.

Published: April 2024

Digital technology has brought significant transformation in translation pedagogy, mainly in helping lecturers integrate digital tools in teaching translation courses. However, it is significant to gain insights from the experiences of the senior lecturers who are gradually accepting the integration of technology in translation pedagogy. The focus of this paper is to gain insights from Professors in translation pedagogy on their challenges in transiting from traditional teaching systems to digital technological systems, also sharing their solutions to the challenges. Through the use of both survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, data was gathered from 93 extensively experienced professors in translation. The gathered data was analyzed using thematic analysis and statistical measures. The results of the data from the interviews showed four main themes, including the theme of transition challenges, the theme of assessment and evaluation challenges, the theme of inclusion and accessibility in digital technology, and the theme of actions the professors had taken in digital technology. The professors confirmed actions such as “finding appropriate online platforms that allowed for real-time cooperation" (Professor 2), "using virtual translation technologies that enabled real-time collaboration on documents" (Professor 5), and "encouraging collaborative translation exercises in real-time Google Docs" (Professor 2)”. The data from the survey questionnaire unveiled specific ways in which digital tools have assisted the senior lecturers in teaching translation courses, including teaching materials for translation courses are now prepared more quickly due to AI technologies, and automated grading systems driven by AI have reduced assessment time and generated feedback for students' translation projects. The Professors generally accepted the impacts of technological advancements, mainly AI tools, in teaching translation and improving the general performance of the learners.
Multi-Word Verbs vs. One-Word Verb Construction: Between Avoidance and Preference in EFL Learning Contexts
Authors: Minalla Amir Abdalla
Published: April 2024

Although English allows for both one-word and multi-word verbs, past research has shown that EFL students commonly struggle with, and even avoid, multi-word verbs. This study aims at examining the influence of utilizing contextualized authentic materials via reading activities on EFL intermediate learners' attitudes towards avoiding and preferring using MWV (multi-word verbs, also known as phrasal verbs (PV)) or one-word verbs. The study used both experimental and descriptive methods, and data was collected via pre- and post-tests. MWVs are introduced through reading activities to two learning groups: group A represents the experimental group, and group B acts as the control group. MWVs were introduced to the participants of group A via contextualized authentic materials (texts, pictures, and cartoons) and to group B through non-authentic contextualized reading texts. The analyzed data has shown that the attitudes of group A’s participants improve towards using some MWVs' types on many occasions rather than utilizing their counterparts of one-word verbs. For example, they prefer using transparent and semi-transparent prepositional PVs as well as transparent adverbial PVs. On the other hand, the findings have shown that the participants avoid using non-transparent PVs regardless of their constructions (prepositional PVs, adverbial PVs, or phrasal prepositional verbs). In addition, they avoid using adverbial PVs of the semi-transparent PV’s types. Hence, contextualized authentic material via reading activities is a more effective strategy for enhancing EFL learners' attitudes towards preferring using MWVs rather than their counterparts of one-word verbs, specifically the transparent prepositional and adverbial of PV’s types.

Yaa Gyasi’s debut novel, Homegoing (2016) narrates the struggles of black female characters under structural oppression and the intergenerational transmission of trauma. While previous research has explored oppression and identity, this study explores how trauma gets passed down among black women, examining both victims’ and perpetrators’ experiences. Utilizing postcolonial trauma theory and transgenerational trauma concepts, this research aims to identify how oppression manifests and is transmitted among generations of black women. Findings from this study advocate, that there is a need to recognize intergenerational trauma but the past must not silhouette the future and respect for ‘differences’ in diverse societies.
