Due to the growth of globalization and the increase of access to internet, it is crucial to incorporate telehealth in the worldwide health system since it involves the use of innovative technologies in synchronic or asynchronous time. Indeed, given the high contagion rate of COVID-19, tele-triage has been the frequently strategy used to monitoring the spread of coronavirus disease. Then, there is no doubt that the actually world emergency caused by COVID-19 will serve up to impulse the development and rise of use of telehealth. Most countries have innovate in the implementation of telehealth systems but some others -especially in Latin America- such as Venezuela have not, because of its underdeveloped and collapsed current situation. Although telehealth has had many achievements, it must fight to establish itself in society in a post-pandemic world.

Based on the care impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the present study aimed to describe the profile of patients seen by teleconsultation during the pandemic. This is a cross-sectional study carried out in Bahia, Brazil. The study population consisted of 99 patients and data collection was carried out using forms applied by trained professionals. The majority of the population was composed of women aged 40 to 59 years, brown in color, married or in a stable relationship and of Catholic religion. The main reasons for seeking the service according to the chapters of CIAP2 were: skeletal, psychological, endocrine, metabolic, nutritional and dermatological muscle. Among all patients, 43.48% were obese or morbidly obese. About 48.05% were aware of the free medical consultation by telemedicine over the Internet. There was a greater demand for the service by women, as well as a higher percentage of patients with musculoskeletal symptoms and people living with chronic diseases. The mental health complaints were also quite expressive, precisely in a period of the pandemic in which there was a partial interruption of the services that offered such care. The ease of access to teleconsultation can help to expand the distribution of health care to places with contrasting supply-demand.

The counter cyclical strategy used to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic is through fiscal policy, government expenditure by refocusing on the health sector and economic recovery. This policy is not only carried out in Indonesia but in other affected countries. In general, government expenditure has made positive impact on GDP, but during the COVID-19 pandemic this affect became negative. Using data from 137 countries, government health expenditure has a negative impact on GDP. If government expenditure policies continue to focus on health care, it will have an impact on other sectors, ultimately negative economic growth. In addition to refocusing on health expenditure, there are also assistance programs for affected communities. Higher aid should affect the GDP, but there is no difference in GDP growth between the two groups of countries based on the percentage of income support. Government expenditure policies in each country certainly aim to maintain the stability of the country, but the policy objectives should be allocated not only curatively but also preventively by taking into account the long-term impact post covid-19 Era.

Solidaridad y COVID-19 en Chile: tensiones y desafíos para afrontar la pandemia solidariamente
Authors: Román Brugnoli José Antonio , Ibarra González Sebastían
Published: August 2022

La COVID-19 ha generado una crisis sociosanitaria y económica que ha demando la colaboración entre diversas instituciones a escala global y nacional, así como la construcción de un sentido colectivo que promueva el cumplimiento de las medidas sociosanitarias impulsadas por los gobiernos. Esta solidaridad pandémica se ha invocado como un recurso colectivo para la gestión de la pandemia. Sin embargo, esta noción de la solidaridad es ambigua respecto a su significado, su contenido específico y las condiciones que posibiliten su implementación. Este artículo contribuye a este debate a partir de un enfoque centrado en las experiencias personales de la pandemia, indagando en el sentido que las personas le atribuyen a esta solidaridad y las descripciones y evaluaciones que realizan sobre sus condiciones de posibilidad. Estas interrogantes se abordan a partir de una investigación cualitativa realizada en cuatro regiones de Chile, cuyos resultados muestran que para los entrevistados la solidaridad pandémica se define a partir de un sentido moral de responsabilidad con el cuidado colectivo, el cual depende principalmente de tres dimensiones interrelacionadas: la institucionalización de la solidaridad, la gestión gubernamental y los desafíos asociados a la práctica colectiva e interpersonal en el seguimiento de las medidas sociosanitarias.

Проблемні питання застосування адміністративних стягнень за порушення правил дорожнього руху
Authors: Kogut  O. V.
Published: August 2022

Метою статті є дослідження змісту та особливостей адміністративних стягнень за правопорушення у сфері забезпечення безпеки дорожнього руху, виокремлення проблемних питань у цій сфері та формулювання пропозицій щодо їх вирішення.
Наукову новизну становлять розроблені на основі аналізу вітчизняного і зарубіжного досвіду пропозиції щодо вдосконалення адміністративно-деліктного законодавства через призму адміністративних стягнень за порушення правил дорожнього руху.
Методологію дослідження складають загальнонаукові, філософські та спеціально-правові методи.
Висновки. Враховуючи, що фактичним призначенням стягнення є покарання за адміністративний проступок, ознакою адміністративного проступку є караність, а також те, що мовне значення терміну «покарання» підходить до всіх видів стягнень, та з метою дерадянізації адміністративно-деліктного законодавства доцільно замінити термін «адміністративне стягнення» на термін «адміністративне покарання», як захід примусу, який закріплений санкцією порушеної правової норми чи норми, яка забезпечує її захист та застосовується органами адміністративної юрисдикції до особи, що вчинила адміністративний проступок. Також у новому Кодексі про адміністративні проступки доцільно законодавчо закріпити ознаки розмежування основних і додаткових стягнень та виключити можливість подвійної природи застосування останніх.
Сутність та практика застосування штрафу свідчить про те, що на перспективу доцільно закріпити поняття «адміністративний штраф» та змінити існуючий механізм його обчислення. Необхідно також привести у відповідність з назвою сутність такого стягнення, як позбавлення права керування транспортним засобом. Небезпечність діяння, передбаченого ст. 130 КУпАП, вагомість закріплених стягнень і особливості порядку їх накладення доводять необхідність повернення до питання про віднесення частини адміністративних проступків до кримінальних проступків.
The Language of Evaluation in the Age’s News on Huawei 5G Technology
Authors: Yu Wenting
Published: August 2022

As China accelerates the pace of technology development, the “China Tech Threat” pervades the Western media. The representative Chinese tech enterprise Huawei suffers questioning on its international strategy. Based on Martin’s ATTITUDE system in his appraisal framework, the paper explores attitudinal resources in the Age’s news discourses on Huawei 5G technology with UAM Corpus Tool. The research analyses the attitudinal resources with statistics and figures out Huawei’s technological image established in these discourses. Among these resources, negative judgment resources are of the highest frequency, followed by appreciation resources and at last by affect resources, implying that the texts make a negative evaluation of Huawei’s capacity, propriety, and social value. The present study illustrates how attitudinal resources play an important role in constructing Huawei’s technological image and enriches the current reservoir that stores relatively insufficient case analyses of news discourses about technology.

Published: August 2022

El estigma social a los adulto-mayores, en las sociedades actuales, se manifiesta en diversos aspectos, ya que varios han sido los estereotipos impuestos por personas que aún son considerados jóvenes, debido al rango de edad en el que se encuentra. Los cambios biológicos han dispuesto que todo el organismo se haya deteriorado con el pasar de los años, incrementando con ello el índice de enfermedades y a su vez debilitó todas sus funciones en las personas que pasan a ser adulto-mayores. Basado a los puntos negativos impuestos por la sociedad con respecto a los adulto-mayores, se ha hecho necesario, potencializar el área afectiva, tratando de restaurar conductas propuestas con el pasar de los años con respecto a este tipo de personas, aplicando estrategias de concientización y sensibilización a los familiares que sean cuidadores de los mismos, creando un espacio para un trato digno a los individuos, evitando los estereotipos impuestos, y con ello las manifestaciones de diferentes tipos de daños psicológicos. La presente investigación propuso un análisis sobre el problema planteado, con respecto a los estigmas sociales y todos los desgastes emocionales que hicieron presentar a los adulto-mayores que asisten a terapias en el centro d Salud Tipo C de Buena fe, haciendo que también los cuidadores de ellos soporten de algún tipo de problema por el daño psicológico afectado por la discriminación sufrida en diferentes lugares, impidiendo que a ellos se les dé un trato justo y digno.

Published: August 2022

Background: Dexmedetomidine is a newer adjuvant anesthetic agent which is gaining its popularity day by day in our perspective. As an anaesthetic adjuvant dexmedetomidine has been shown to provide good perioperative haemodynamic stability during laparoscopic surgeries. But still it is to be judged its efficacy as adjuvant agent in our aspect.
Objective: To observe the haemodynamic effects of intravenous dexmedetomidine during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: Eighty(80) patients (ASA grade l and ll) who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery were randomly selected and were scrutinized according to eligibility criteria.The selected patients were divided into two groups on even and odd number basis. Even number Group A (n=40): received a bolus dose of I.V dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg over 10 minutes before induction of Anesthesia and then I.V infusion of 0.5 μg/kg/hr as a maintenance infusion and odd number Group B(n=40): received a bolus dose of same volume of normal saline before induction of Anesthesia and infusion was continued during surgery. General anesthesia was administered in all patients using fentanyl, thiopentone, succinylcholine, nitrous oxide in oxygen, halothane and muscle relaxation maintained with vecuronium bromide. A pre-tested, observation based, peer-reviewed data collection sheet was prepared before study.
Results: Intra-operative mean Heart rate of Group B patients were more higher than those of Group A patients and showed statistically significant differences (P=0.003). Mean arterial pressure of Group B patients were far more higher than Group A patients in different events of peroperative period which is statistically significant (P=0.001). Mean diastolic blood pressure in Group B was significantly higher than that of Group A (P=0.0001).
Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine is an effective drug that can be used as adjunctive infusion in general anesthesia in an intention to stable the hemodynamic profile in the peroperative period of different surgeries. Specially in laparoscopic cholecystectomy some patients with cardiac risk become vulnerable after CO2 gas in sufflation which can be properly managed using Dexmedetomidine.

Authors: Sarasti-Zambonino Sebastián , Barahona Tania , Roque Santos
Published: August 2022

Gamma spectroscopy is an analytic technique that identifies isotopes through gamma rays. Currently, gamma spectroscopy is widely used in several science fields, for instance, the study of the hydrodynamics of soils and other applications. Considering the development of computers, it has been developed Monte-Carlo simulation packages, in order to estimate the response of gamma spectroscopy detectors. This work aims to develop a GEANT4 application to estimate the full energy peak efficiency for a HPGe detector and determine the deviation with experimental data. It was carried out measurements of the next radioactive sources, Am-241, Eu-152, Cs-137, and Co-60. These measurements were made at different distances, they were at 0, 5, 10, 20, and 25 cm from the detector’s cover layer. Meanwhile, the simulation was carried out through user action classes to extract energy deposited in the sensitive detector. It was determined full energy peak efficiency of experimental data, through these results, it was estimated a detection factor that measures the deviation between experimental and simulated data. A reason for the deviation was that the simulation did not include the electronic chain of acquisition. Finally, it was suggested that future works should develop a more accurate simulation for multi-emitters isotopes.

Decentralised Governance in Kenya: Implications on Citizen Participation in Local Governance.
Authors: ONYALO PAUL OTIENO
Published: August 2022

This study sought to examine the extent to which decentralisation efforts have affected citizen participation in local governance in Kenya. A survey research design that integrated a mixed-method approach was employed to collect data. The study used Krejcie and Morgan's table to select a sample size of 371 respondents from four counties for the questionnaire instrument. The purposive sampling technique was used to select 16 interview respondents, including critical institutions and organisations in the field. The findings revealed that decentralisation influences citizen participation in local governance. 77.3% of the respondents agreed that decentralisation had promoted political entrepreneurship, while 75% contended that decentralisation had influenced citizen participation in developing policies and legislation. Moreover, 57.2% of the respondents felt that citizen participation in decentralised policy-making was high, while 69% were satisfied that decentralisation had made it possible for citizens to participate in county budgeting. However, only 49% approved the effectiveness of decentralisation in promoting citizen participation in promoting participatory budgeting and planning process. Therefore, the study recommends that the national and county governments put in place measures to safeguard the independence of the counties in realising the objective of citizen participation in local governance.
An Analysis of Progress Toward EU Macroeconomic and Environmental Indicator Convergence
Authors: T. Daniel Coggin
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this paper is to examine and update the progress toward meeting the macroeconomic and environmental “convergence criteria” outlined in original Maastricht Treaty of 1991, and the Kyoto Protocol of 1997 and its successor climate agreements. Using recently developed econometric models of convergence, this study presents an inventory of the convergence properties of 12 macroeconomic and environmental indicators for a sample of 15 EU member countries with data for the period 1990-2020. While not exhaustive, it is representative of widely accepted macroeconomic and environmental indicators used to gauge progress toward achieving the stated EU convergence criteria, including some that to our knowledge have not yet been formally studied for convergence. We also give an example of how using an inappropriate convergence model can lead to incorrect and misleading results, and suggest a testing strategy to obtain more reliable results. Using the appropriate convergence model, we found evidence for weak Sigma-convergence in 5 of the 12 indicators (4 macroeconomic and 1 environmental).

The spatial and geometric design of learning spaces plays an important role in transmitting the dynamics of learning. Recently, there has been a major milestone in effective teaching and learning methods (modern pedagogical approaches) that aim to shift students away from the traditional learning process towards collaborative, problem-oriented and independent learning. These changes required a new generation of learning spaces with different strategies and methods to adapt to these changes. This research problem lies in the huge gap between modern pedagogical methods and the spatial and geometric configuration of different learning spaces that do not meet the requirements of these methods. This article examines the impact of designing different learning spaces on learner-centred teaching and learning by understanding the interrelationships between research in architecture, learning sciences, and environmental psychology in order to achieve effective learning. As a result of the research, a set of criteria for evaluating the functional effectiveness of the research areas under consideration was developed.

Twitter sentimental analysis is the way to examine polarity in tweeted opinions. The computational process involves implementing machine learning classifiers to categorize the tweets into positive, negative and neutral sentiments. To identify a suitable classifier for the task is a prime issue. In this paper we have presented the performance comparison of base classification techniques like Decision Tree, Random Forest, Naive Bayes, K-Nearest Neighbour and Logistic Regression on analysis of tweets. The results thus obtained show Logistic Regression analyze tweets with highest accuracy rate of 86.51% and the least performer comes out to be K-Nearest Neighbour with an average accuracy rate of 50.40%.
Strategies in Remote Teaching of Architectural History for imparting Quality Education in the Pandemic-effected scenario
Authors: Sinha Alisha
Published: August 2022

Teaching history has always been challenging for faculty. The subject requires constant storytelling, highlighting major terminologies, dates, events, people and places, and establishing a cognitive relationship between them. It demands an engaging pedagogy to present itself and its components to students, particularly today’s generation of learners, who are technologically driven and lack attention as well as patience. This keeps the subject faculty on their toes and motivates them to keep innovating with multiple instructional tools and resources to convey the content and create an interactive and inquisitive learning environment. The pandemic has challenged this already gruelling discipline to new limits. It has led to acute need of pedagogical transformation and technological adaptation across several fields to make virtual learning comfortable yet effective. This research explores the potentials of remote learning, develops strategies to employ them efficiently and formulates a teaching methodology for history, enforcing competent academic delivery of the subject. The study revolves in the context of architectural history, but its prospects are not limited to the same. The methodology developed can be useful for teaching history as a cardinal or allied subject under various disciplines. These strategies are widespread and will be beneficial for enhancing the quality of history education in both online as well as offline teaching programs. This transformation in teaching methodology can help teachers exercise the visual, aural, motor and analytical skills of their students and thereby, enrich the learning experience.
Evaluating Jokowi's Policy on Alcoholic Drink Investment in Indonesia by using sentiment analysis

Published: August 2022

This paper discusses the evaluation of Jokowi's policy regarding alcoholic drink investment in Indonesia by using sentiment analysis. The source of data used as policy feedback in this study is data from the Twitter API. There were 6,963 tweets taken five days before and five days after Jokowi lifted the policy. The data was then manually annotated as many as 963 tweets by sentiment labels. This study uses NLP Techniques to process the data and uses SVM to classify it. Furthermore, using trained data, this paper labels the rest of the tweets into three groups of sentiments, namely positive, negative, and neutral, to see how much public support or rejection of policies on social media. From the analysis, the alcoholic drink investment policy was not successful. The number of negative sentiments from the public shows that this policy is against the people's will. Negative comments dominated during the period of this study, significantly before the President lifted the policy. Nevertheless, Jokowi's decision to revoke the alcohol investment permit is the right step and has succeeded in reducing negative comments and rejections on social media, especially Twitter. This paper also covers words that are interconnected and related in Twitter to give an overview of the tweet's contents. Before the policy was revoked, many tweets contained a rejection of Jokowi's policies, rejection of the Papuan government, and asked the MUI to suggest Jokowi revoke this policy. After the policy was revoked, the comments were more directed at criticism of the President's attitude, which stated that he hated foreign products but allowed investment in alcohol and had made policies that provoked a public controversy.

A Base Nacional Comum Curricular apresenta seis eixos fundamentais no âmbito da educação infantil: Conviver, Participar, Brincar, Explorar, Expressar e Conhecer-se. Neste sentido, o presente estudo analisa os elementos dos processos explícitos no documento que se efetivam nas ações educativas na perspectiva da Educação Ambiental. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar os elementos dos processos explícitos na Base Nacional Comum Curricular e sua efetivação nas ações educativas de Educação Ambiental através de práticas pedagógicas inovadoras que possam incentivar a tomada de consciência e possibilidades de intervenções para atender aos eixos e competências propostos pelo documento. A metodologia é de natureza qualitativa, documental e bibliográfica. O documento de análise foi a Base Nacional Comum Curricular. As discussões fundamentaram-se em Maria Carmen Barbosa (2020), Paulo Fochi (2016), Sauvé (2016) e Loureiro (2015). Sua organização seguiu os pressupostos da Análise Textual Discursiva de Moraes e Galiazzi (2016). Os resultados demonstraram que no documento analisado, o conceito de Educação Ambiental é pouco mencionado em relação ao tema socioambiental. Para contemplar as proposições presentes na base, o professor precisa envolver os problemas reais e a realização de atividades de proteção e melhoria de forma contínua e permanente. Permitir que a Educação seja contemplada de forma que sensibilize as crianças para com a vida e para consigo, assim como torna evidente a magnitude de abordagens sobre a Educação Ambiental na Educação Infantil.
