Se evaluó la diversidad de coleópteros de la familia Scarabaeidae en dos bosques de niebla: bosque de Ramos ubicado en la comunidad campesina de Samanga, y en el bosque de Chin Chin que se encuentra cercano a los caseríos de San Juan y Totora del Predio Cachiaco. Cada bosque fue estratiﬁcado en tres zonas de muestreo que estuvieron separadas cada 500 m entre sí, y a distintas altitudes. Aplicando cinco métodos de colecta, durante siete días de muestreo, se registraron 2099 individuos pertenecientes a 35 especies, de seis subfamilias y 19 tribus, en total para ambos bosques; en el bosque de Ramos se obtuvieron 1634 individuos de 26 especies, pertenecientes a seis subfamilias y 16 tribus, y para el bosque de Chin Chin, se registraron 465 individuos de 16 especies, pertenecientes a tres subfamilias y 10 tribus. Se resalta el registro de tres posibles nuevas especies para la ciencia; Uroxys sp. nov. 1 (B. Ramos y B. Chin Chin), Uroxys sp. nov. 2 (B. Chin Chin) y Deltochilum (Calhyboma) sp. nov. (B. Ramos). Finalmente, se evidenciaron diferencias en la diversidad entre los dos bosques, siendo mayor para el bosque de Ramos, teniendo en cuenta el estado de conservación, período climático en la evaluación, y las diferentes altitudes entre las zonas de monitoreo.

Published: April 2023

El objetivo principal de este trabajo de investigación fue determinar el rendimiento de biogas como combustible para cocina e iluminación producido en un digestor tubular, en Cruz Lomas, distrito de Providencia, provincia de Luya,Departamento de Amazonas – Perú. Se empleó un biodigestor de geomembrana de PVC de 0,5 mm de espesor, 1,27 m de diámetro y 6,70 m de largo, con un volumen de trabajo de 6,37 m que contiene la mezcla estiércol:agua en unaproporción de 1:5; el tiempo de retención hidráulica fue de 20 días. El biogas producido se almacenó en la cúpula del biodigestor (2,12 m3) y en el gasómetro (2,53 m3), y fue suficiente para preparar diariamente los alimentos típicos deuna familia campesina en la cocina a biogas, lo que requirió un promedio de 5 horas y 30 minutos por día, quedando aún biogas en el gasómetro. Con el mismo volumen y presión de biogas, se pudo hacer funcionar una lámpara decamiseta durante 5 horas y 22 minutos por día para iluminar un ambiente de la vivienda rural. Esta información sustenta que la tecnología del biogas contribuirá a mejorar la calidad de vida de los agricultores y a reducir la contaminación ambiental causada por el estiércol.
La seguridad de medidores de agua potable contra robo, vandalización y manipulación – problemática, avances y propuesta
Authors: Ziemendorff Stefan , Vásquez Velásquez Wagner , Ruesta Córdova Hermes
Published: April 2023

Uno de los principales problemas de las entidades prestadoras de servicios de agua potable y saneamiento consiste en la manipulación, la vandalización y el robo de los medidores de consumo de agua, resultando en pérdidas económicas importantes, tanto por la subfacturación del consumo como por el costo del reemplazo de los medidores. Por ello, en primer lugar, el presente trabajo analiza la casuística de las diferentes formas de manipulación y destrucción de los medidores de agua. Luego, sobre la base de los resultados de este análisis, se definen los puntos vulnerables del medidor que deben ser protegidos. Asimismo, se realiza una evaluación de los dispositivos de seguridad existentes, la cual demuestra que ninguno de ellos protege de forma eficaz todos los puntos débiles del medidor. Finalmente, se proponen dos nuevos dispositivos de seguridad para los medidores y se detalla su modo de instalación, así como los resultados de una instalación piloto de una muestra de estos dispositivos en la ciudad de Talara (Perú), concluyendo que brindan una protección mucho mayor contra el robo y la destrucción que todos los dispositivos usados hasta ahora.
Valoración económica ambiental de las plantas medicinales de la zona de influencia de tres lagunas en Huancabamba – Piura
Authors: Palacios Zapata Claudia Mabel , Charcape Ravelo Jesús Manuel , Mostacero León José
Published: April 2023

La Valoración Económica de los Bienes y Servicios de Biodiversidad (o los Recursos Naturales en general), implica la generación de criterios económicos ambientales para la toma de decisiones sobre el aprovechamiento de estos recursos. El valor económico de cualquier bien o servicio suele medirse teniendo en cuenta lo que estamos dispuestos a pagar por él menos lo que cuesta proveerlo. Cuando un recurso ambiental nos proporciona bienes y servicios sin costo alguno, lo único que expresa el valor de los bienes y servicios que aporta es nuestra disposición a pagar por ellos, independientemente de si realmente pagamos algo o no.En Perú en general, y en Piura en particular, no existen muchos trabajos sobre valoración económica de los recursos naturales. Es por ello que este trabajo será importante en este campo. El inventario de las plantas medicinales para las tres lagunas de Huancabamba: Shimbe, la Negra o del Pato y la laguna El Toro fue de 81 especies. La valoración económica total obtenida por las plantas medicinales es de US dólar $657649,1 al año. Este monto nos indica claramente que la diversidad de la zona viene siendo subvalorada y depredada.
Territorio y memoria en el proceso de distritalización del Gran Pajonal (Ucayali-Perú)
Authors: Fernández Fabian Liliana
Published: April 2023

El Gran Pajonal (Ucayali-Perú) es territorio originariamente ashéninka. Fue colonizado en un segundo intento en 1936 y desde hace 24 años, paralelamente al proceso de titulación de tierras indígenas, se busca que parte de su territorio sea declarado distrito y así acceder a un mayor presupuesto económico y servicios estatales. Este trabajo describe y examina el proceso de distritalización del Gran Pajonal desde sus inicios en un contexto de lucha entre ashéninkas y colonos por el territorio, el surgimiento de nuevas identidades y el papel que juega la memoria en las estrategias de los líderes indígenas para participar de la vida política en el Gran Pajonal. El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar acerca de cómo la memoria es silenciada y manipulada en la experiencia política indígena para llevar a cabo un proyecto de desarrollo occidental que puede debilitar las bases de la cultura ashéninka debido a que este fortalecerá el centralismo de la capital propuesta: Oventeni, el centro poblado colono.

Published: April 2023

En Pomacochas se optimizó la producción de biogas a escala de laboratorio con estiércol de bovino, lactosuero y totora (Scirpus californicus). Se empleó el diseño estadístico de Box-Behnken con tres variables: relación estiércol: agua (1:5, 1:4, 1:3), lactosuero (% v/v: 2, 4, 6) y chips de totora (% p/v: 3, 6, 9). Se realizaron simultáneamente tres corridas de 15 experimentos durante 27 días. Los biodigestores de 12 L tenían 10 L de volumen de trabajo y el biogas se colectó por desplazamiento de agua en botellas de 1,5 L calibradas cada 100 mL. El mayor volumen de biogas producido fue de 1400 mL, empleando 1,7 y 2,5 L de estiércol (estiércol: agua de 1:3 y 1:5), con 400 y 200 mL de lactosuero (2 y 4% v/v), respectivamente. Si se reduce la cantidad de estiércol y se incrementa el volumen de lactosuero, se mantiene la producción de biogas, mientras que la totora no influye. Con Statgraphics se obtuvo un modelo con un R2 de 0,9470 el cual permitió predecir un máximo de biogas de 1745,74 mL, valor ligeramente superior al obtenido experimentalmente con 1,7 L de estiércol, 282,942 mL de lactosuero y 186,829 g de chips de totora.

Legal regulation of taxation of income of individuals on transactions with digital financial assets
Authors: Titorenko Semen Konstantinovich
Published: April 2023

The author discusses the features of the legal regulation of taxation of transactions of individuals with digital financial assets of the Russian Federation. As a result of the study, the author identified a gap in the legal regulation of taxation of digital financial assets in the Russian Federation, when comparing the concept of digital financial assets and tokens. Public relations arising in connection with the turnover of digital financial assets are regulated by the CFA Law, while neither legislation nor law enforcement practice has determined whether the provisions of the CFA Law apply to relations regarding objects corresponding to the characteristics of digital financial assets, but issued in violation of the CFA Law. In this connection, it is necessary to determine whether the norms of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation apply to relations with tokens (digital financial assets) that were issued before the adoption of the CFA Law. The problem is that there is currently no explanation regarding the applicability of the CFA Law to the relations that arise regarding digital financial assets (tokens) that were issued before the CFA Law came into force. Goal of the study was to investigate the experience of foreign legislation and law enforcement practice of the Russian Federation and to identify the problems of legal regulation of taxation of income of individuals on transactions of individuals with digital financial assets.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT – This paper presents an innovative cross-country analysis focused on the cultural coverage of two countries that have been connected since the colonial period, Brazil and Portugal. Aiming to map editorial patterns (sources, news values, cultural sectors, and people featured) and uncover stereotypes, we selected two reputable newspapers, the Brazilian Folha de S.Paulo and the Portuguese Público. A content analysis was performed on a sample of 1.118 news articles. Both media outlets present an elitist, western-centric, and scholarly notion of culture. We observed asymmetrical trends between the Brazilian and the Portuguese cultural coverage.
RESUMO – Este artigo apresenta uma análise em perspectiva cruzada focada na cobertura cultural de dois países com relações iniciadas no período colonial, Brasil e Portugal. Com o objetivo de mapear padrões editoriais (fontes, valores-notícia, setores culturais e pessoas em destaque) e identificar estereótipos, selecionamos dois jornais de referência, o brasileiro Folha de S.Paulo e o português Público. Para tal, realizamos uma análise de conteúdo em uma amostra de 1.118 peças. Os dois jornais apresentam uma noção de cultura elitista, centrada no ocidente e de viés acadêmico. Observamos, também, tendências assimétricas entre a cobertura cultural brasileira e portuguesa.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT – This research builds an updated map of the Chilean press on the web and social networks and evaluates the attention of researchers by identifying collective criteria to address the object “Chilean press”. Methodologically, it works on the concept of academic impact and uses automation in Python language to measure it, analyzing web audiences with Similarweb and scraping for social impact on Facebook and Twitter. Among the main results of the study, which spans almost two decades, it reveals how the disruptive media are led by the native media El Mostrador, CIPER, and Terra, together with the print media Publimetro and The Clinic. The overrepresentation of El Mercurio and La Tercera detracts from the projection of new digital media, such as El Desconcierto, and citizen media such as regional and hyperlocal media like El Observatodo. Finally, a critique is made of the media selection process carried out by academic authors.

Published: April 2023

Background: Surgery for lumbar disc herniation is one of the most commonly performed procedures in spine surgery. Questions remain if lumbar discectomy is the optimal treatment for patients with lumbar disc herniation who exhibit a substantial amount of preoperative back pain. Objective: To evaluate the outcome of improvement of back pain and radiculopathy between male and female patients with single-level discectomy and in relation to different indications for the surgery. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective follow-up study, 80 patients (40males and 40 females) with symptoms of radiculopathy and back pain who underwent single-level open discectomy (small incision of 2-3 cm) were followed-up by discharge from the hospital between 2017 and 2019 in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. The patients were included after having the symptoms of radiculopathy as confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, patients who had undergone discectomy due to radiculopathy without response after 6 weeks of conservative treatment were included in this investigation. Results: The mean age of the patients was 45.1 (19-70 years old). The study showed that the level of back pain and radicular pain was significantly decreased from the initial step to 3, 6, and 12 months. The levels of back and radicular were not changed significantly from three to six months. The study showed that the prevalence of different levels of back and radicular pain was similar between male and female patients at different periods. The study did not find a significant difference in levels of back and radicular pains among patients with different indications in male and male patients. Conclusion: This study showed that single-level lumbar discectomy improved back and radicular pain by 12 months postoperatively in males and females, regardless of the indication for surgery.

Published: April 2023

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic syndrome are closely linked, which considerably raises the risk of cardiovascular complications, and consequently, morbidity and mortality. Treatment of the metabolic syndrome reduces mortality and morbidity of cardiovascular disease. Objective: To assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a population of female patients with Rheumatoid arthritis, and association with comorbidities and Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional analytic study was conducted in Erbil City. A total of 110 female patients with the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis were included during the period of July 2021-March 2022. Anthropometric indices, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, and proteinuria were investigated. The metabolic syndrome defining criteria from the international diabetes federation (IDF-2005) were applied. Results: Out of 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 63 (57.3%) were found to have metabolic syndrome, in whom the majority of them 52 (71.2%) were obese class 1. A significant association of metabolic syndrome was found with comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and hypothyroidism), p-value 0.019, and TNF-alpha inhibitor drugs were shown to be associated with a reduced risk for metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is common in rheumatoid arthritis patients, and it increases the risk of other comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, and hypothyroidism) as well as cardiovascular diseases. Patients on biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs are at a lower risk of metabolic syndrome.

Felt the Earth: Creating opportunities in felting waste wool for the production of circular textiles in Aotearoa
Authors:   , Walkley Charlotte
Published: April 2023

Waste wool is an abundant resource, however this resource is underutilised in Aotearoa’s textile industry. The application of non-woven, felted waste wool offers unique qualities and attributes that make it ideally suited as a sustainable material for textiles, as well as having a positive contribution to the development of New Zealand’s circular economy. Under our current linear system of consumption, waste wool, or “strong wool” (identified as 26> microns) is considered undesirable and of low value. Presently, incineration or landfill are common pathways for large quantities of this unwanted resource. The broad application of waste wool in textile production is challenged by preconceptions surrounding the value of waste, in addition to systemic favourability of synthetic materials perpetuated within the industry. This research is motivated by the need to change these perceptions in an effort to reduce waste and to support sustainable textile production in the context of Aotearoa. It is driven by the identification of a gap in knowledge surrounding viable techniques for the high-value creation of textiles made of waste wool. Through the application of wet and needle felting techniques, this research exemplifies the inherent values and unique potentials of this underutilised resource. The research is guided by empirical material studies and iterative methodologies. The technical investigations undertaken have been evaluated through the application of a rigorous design criteria. The outcome of this research indicates that felted waste wool is a profoundly adaptive and useful textile material, both physically and performatively.

Purpose: Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening neurological emergency, frequently diagnosed in pediatric patients. We aimed to characterize our pediatric cases of SE in an 11-year period according to the 2015 International League Against Epilepsy report. Methods: Clinical electronic records were retrospectively reviewed. All pediatric SE cases admitted from January 2010 to December 2020 were included, excluding neonates. SE was considered refractory if it persisted despite the administration of two appropriate antiseizure medications at acceptable doses.Results: We included 102 episodes, 55 (53.9%) in boys. The median age was 2.5 years (interquartile range, 1.3 to 5.0). Most episodes were classified as SE with prominent motor features (92.2%), and the most frequent etiological classification was acute symptomatic cause (84.3%). A benzodiazepine was used as the first-line antiseizure medication in 99 (97%) cases, of which diazepam was preferred (93%). The preferred second-line medication was phenytoin (65.7%). Midazolam was the most frequently responsible for termination of SE when given in a continuous infusion (47%). Episodes of SE were classified as refractory in 81 (79.4%) cases. Episodes of >60 minutes were more frequent in patients diagnosed with epilepsy (P=0.036), focal motor SE (P<0.001), and non-convulsive SE (P=0.037). The in-hospital mortality rate was 2.9%. Conclusion: Most of our findings are in accord with the current literature. Epilepsy, non-convulsive SE, and focal motor SE were associated with prolonged duration (>60 minutes), which reinforces the significance of the underlying neurological disease and semiological standardization in pediatric SE.
An Emerging Power’s Normative Resistance Tactics: An Analysis on China’s Approach to the Normative Change of the Responsibility to Protect

Published: April 2023

How do emerging powers attempt normative resistance to influence normative changes in the international order? By viewing emerging powers as agents of productive normative change, this study aims to examine how China as an emerging power influences the normative change of the responsibility to protect through an in-depth case study of its normative resistance tactics to the norm. For this analysis, this article first reviews related theoretical discussions and presents a theoretical framework for analysis. Then, focusing on the three important periods in the process of normative development of the responsibility to protect (the process of introducing and institutionalizing the norm from 2000 to 2005, the process of implementing the norm after the 2005 World Summit (2005-2011), and the process of implementing the norm in the 2011 Libyan crisis and thereafter), it analyzes which normative resistance tactics China has used to influence the process of change and implementation of the norm. For this analysis, an empirical case study is conducted, including text analysis of China's statements and speeches as well as meeting records and resolutions related to the responsibility to protect at the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly. Based on the analysis results, this article discusses the implications for the debate on the role and influence of emerging powers in the normative change of international order.
Vietnam War Memory Conflict Between Public Collective Memory and Private Collective Memory in Korea : Political Factors Behind the Emergence and Change of Collective Memory
Authors:   The Korean Association Of Area Studies, Kwon Yejin , Choi Eunbong
Published: April 2023

Why are war-related public collective memory and private collective memory inconsistent? This study attempts a political analysis of the process of memory competence surrounding the Vietnam War, as the issue of the massacre of Vietnamese civilians by the Korean military was raised by domestic civic groups in 1999. Memories that were omitted or excluded in the process of placing memories in the history of each country gradually created cracks. Regarding the crack in war memories in the 1990s, this study focuses on the emergence of a new memory entrepreneur called ‘civic group’. This study proposes a structure of memory, and based on this, provides a political perspective on the dynamics that occur between public collective memory and private collective memory.
The Castaway Archetype in Two Tales of an Island Year
Authors: Fike Matthew
Published: April 2023

The castaway archetype is examined in Lucy Irvine’s Castaway and Gerald Kingsland’s The Islander—dual accounts of a year spent on Tuin Island in the Torres Strait north of Australia. The castaway archetype adds a survivalist theme to C. G. Jung’s interest in living simply and close to nature—as he did at Bollingen—and intersects with his ideas in the essay “Archaic Man.” In general, castaways’ exposure to extreme isolation, survival conditions, and perils both physical and psychological activates an inheritance from ancient humans. However, contrasting markedly with Jung’s positive ideal in “Marriage as a Psychological Relationship,” Irvine and Kingsland live at cross-purposes because they constellate incompatible archetypes, which results in what Anthony Stevens calls the “frustration of archetypal intent.” Kingsland enacts the husband, but Irvine enacts the castaway; he loves her erotically, but her passion is for the island. Although projection, compensation, and enantiodromia complicate matters, the experience proves psychologically instructive for both, though the lessons are hard won.
Ensnare
Authors: Forbes-Thomas Christina
Published: April 2023

The present research blends archetypal and feminist perspectives, along with current research into the hemispheres of the brain, to investigate the psychological implications of the pursuit and attempted murder of Ambrosia, a nymph and nursemaid to Dionysus, by King Lycurgus of Thrace in Ancient Greece. A depth psychological story of psychic activism, feminine liberation, and transformation, “Ensnare” builds around a single image from a piece of Greco-Roman artwork—the attack and attempted murder of Ambrosia by Lycurgus, whose deeds evoke the destructive forces of literalism, monotheistic temperaments, intolerance to diversity, exclusively rationalistic attitudes, and patriarchal systems that deaden the imagination and imperil the unfolding of soul. Theoretically, this project of creative womanhood relies upon Hillman’s (1975) four modes of re-visioning psychology: personifying, or imagining things; pathologizing, or falling apart; psychologizing, or seeing through; and dehumanizing, or soul-making. Following Hillman, “Ensnare” invites the reader to find and make soul through a non-literal attitude of fantasying that creatively engages the imagination and images of female empowerment from the myth. The aim of this imaginal engagement with the mythological figures of Ambrosia, Lycurgus, Gaia, and Athene is to discover and partner with the archetypal presences who supported Ambrosia’s liberation as we work to bring the meaning of her initiatory experience to our own ideas and ways of being.
Child Labor and Father-Gods
Authors: Schumacher Cynthia
Published: April 2023

This paper works from a Jungian perspective to explore the unconscious dynamics of an authoritarian cultural complex at work in public schools in the United States. The paper exposes two areas of what Jung called the shadow archetype: the historical narrative of child labor during the industrial revolution as a traumatic societal event; and mythic images of the Greek Father-gods who buried, ate, or imprisoned their children. The working hypothesis of the paper is that the trauma of child labor operates as a social force, an unconscious archetypal pattern of authority and exploitation that is imaged and illuminated by the mythic narratives of the Greek Father-gods. Using depth psychological concepts and methods, the paper reveals how these repressed traumas create unconscious cultural attitudes that view children as commodities whose innate value and potential are sacrificed to feed the nation’s economic power and growth rather than leading out the potential within each student. Kristeva’s theories of abjection and subject in process provide psychoanalytic insights into how authoritarian cultural attitudes toward the education of children enslave students in a mandated instructive process that inflicts a kind of violence upon them. In conclusion, the paper suggests that the current system of education calibrated to standardized testing needs to broaden significantly to include transformative educative processes encompassing learning through the body, senses, feeling, intuition, and imagination.
Shadow and Society
Authors: Rohde-Brown Juliet
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the archetype of the Child is considered as a psychological presence that fosters creativity and relationality for individuals and groups. The capacity for integrating the shadow aspect of human nature is a crucial psychological solution for reducing harmful biases and projections that negatively impact the subtle and emergent potential of the archetypal presence of the Child, along with the experience of actual children. A working hypothesis is that attentive listening to the voice of the divine child within each person supports processes of personal growth and spiritual transformation, in so doing mending the woundings of colonization and traumas inflicted by families and cultural systems. A Jungian perspective reveals a wound: the forgetting, through abuse or neglect, of the human relationship with the divine child archetype. The problem, from a Jungian perspective, becomes perilous, psychologically speaking: A person cut off from the child has no access to the bridge back to the Self, which cannot be discovered without the animating presence of the divine child. With the re-membering of the archetypal child in mind, the paper places emphasis on engaging with transpersonal forces that serve what Jung believed to be the religious function of the psyche. Jungian practitioners in community-based endeavors strive through arts-based practices to facilitate the integration of shadow aspects, as well as methods that seek to decolonize minoritized and marginalized frameworks and promote multiple ways of knowing.

Landfilling is one of the most effective and responsible ways to dispose of municipal solid waste (MSW). Identifying landfill sites, however, is a challenging and complex undertaking because it depends on social, environmental, technical, economic, and legal issues. This study aims to map the optimal sites that were environmentally suitable for locating a landfill site in Butuan City, Philippines. With reference to the policy requirements from DENR Section I, Landfill Site Identification Criteria and Screening Guidelines of National Solid Waste Management Commission, the integration of a Geographic Information System (GIS) model builder and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been used in this study to address the aforementioned challenges related to the landfill site suitability analysis. Based on the generated sanitary landfill suitability map, results showed that Barangay Tungao (1131.42967 ha) and Florida (518.48 ha) were able to meet and consider the three (3) main components, namely economic, environmental, and physical criteria, and are highly suitable as landfill site locations in Butuan City. It is recommended that there will conduct a geotechnical evaluation, involving rigorous geological and hydrogeological assessment employing a combination of site investigation and laboratory techniques. In addition, additional specific social, ecological, climatic, and economic factors need to be considered (i.e. including impact on humans, flora, fauna, soil, water, air, climate, and landscape).
