Mediante el uso de. datos de las estaciones VHO, COM y una red sísmica local que operó durante 1979 en Chiapas, en el sureste de México, la geometría de la zona de Benioff mas allá de los 60 km de profundidad ha sido bien delimitada en el área de Tehuantepec. Los hipocentros se encuentran confinados en un estrato de 45 km de espesor, rumbo N45E y echado de 45º. El volcán Chichón está situado a 225 km sobre el centro de la zona de Benioff.
Preliminary palaeomagnetic study of lower tertiary volcanic rocks from Morelos and Guerrero states
Authors: Urrutia Fucugauchi Jaime
Published: May 2021

Resultados de un estudio paleomagnético preliminar de siete unidades volcánicas del Terciario Temprano, expuestas en los estados de Morelos y Guerrero, aparentemente no concuerdan con datos similares del norte de México. Las unidades estudiadas son dos lavas de la Formación Balsas (Paleoceno-Eoceno), dos tobas de la Riolita Tilzapotla (edad K-Ar de 49 ± 3 m.a.) y dos tobas y una lava andesítica del Mioceno (?). Los resultados paleomagnéticos, suponiendo que representan el campo magnético ambiental al tiempo del emplazamiento de las unidades, podrían ser explicados en términos de rotaciones tectónicas de las áreas estudiadas en sentido contrario a las manecillas del reloj. Dichas rotaciones estarían asociadas con compresión regional a lo largo de un sistema de fallas laterales izquierdas, aparentemente siguiendo la traza del eje volcánico mexicano. Los resultados son considerados insuficientes para una interpretación tectónica y se requiere de más datos paleomagnéticos para apoyar la posibilidad de rotaciones tectónicas en el área.

El Volcán Poas, Costa Rica: cronología y características de la actividad
Authors: Casertano L. , Borgia A. , Cigolini C.
Published: May 2021

El volcán Poás es uno de los más interesantes centros eruptivos de Costa Rica por la variedad y peculiaridad de sus manifestaciones volcánicas. Junto a los rasgos geológicos de la zona se describe, resumidamente, la estructura de la cal[1]dera activa, evidenciando una clara ciclicidad de largo período en la actividad del volcán. Se recolectan, además, las noticias bibliográficas sobre la actividad reciente, esto es, a partir del inicio del siglo pasado, clasificando las manifestaciones en cuatro categorías: a) fumarólica y/o solfatárica; b) plumas de barro; e) explosiones freáticas conocidas en la bibliografía como geyseriformes); d) erupciones freato-magmáticas y de lava. El análisis de los fenómenos particulares, observados en 1980-81 permite atribuir el paula[1]tino aumento de la temperatura de las fumarolas, de 92° e en diciembre de 1980 hasta 960° e de marzo a noviembre de 1981, a la subida y salida de los fluidos concentrados en la masa mag mática superficial, involucrada en la erupción de 1953, cuya fracturación, en la parte ya rígida, había sido demostrada por una crisis sísmica local que comenzó el 27 de julio de 1980 y que duró unos diez días. Finalmente, se anticipa la idea de que todas las complejas manifestaciones del volcán Poás pueden ser producidas por un mismo mecanismo eruptivo.

A disputa reacionária pela educação: reflexões para além da educação escolarizada
Authors: Miranda Hilheno Oliveiral , Pires Ennia Débora Braga Passos
Published: May 2021

O Escola sem Partido é um movimento reacionário que surgiu no Brasil e que tem conseguido pautar a educação nacional, mesmo sem ter um projeto de lei que o respalde nacionalmente. Uma das maiores afirmações do movimento é que a Escola, através do segmento docente, promove doutrinação ideológica. Considerando esta afirmação do Escola sem Partido, o presente trabalho visa trazer contribuições que problematizam a educação escolarizada e que mostram que a visão de mundo das pessoas também é forjada em outros espaços que extrapolam os muros das instituições de ensino. Assim, através de levantamento bibliográfico e análise documental, o trabalho discute as intencionalidades do referido movimento e o que ele pretende ao fazer tal afirmação. Conclui salientando a necessidade de se ampliar estudos e debates sobre o movimento como uma forma de enfrentamento diante do clima de intolerância que alimenta, o qual, em outros períodos históricos, ofereceu o amálgama para a implementação de regimes autoritários e antidemocráticos.

The increase on sports practice among children and adolescents increased the number of visits to the Emergency Department of this age group due to injuries of the musculoskeletal system originated in the sports context. Tibial tuberosity fractures are rare and occur in a population with a maturing skeleton. These often occur during the ascending or descending phase of a jump and have been increasingly associated with the practice of some sports, with a relatively low energy mechanism, but which often causes disproportionate and extensive tissue lesions, which can compromise the return to sports. We describe a case of a young basketball player who suffered a fracture and avulsion of the anterior tibial tuberosity with extension of the fracture line posteriorly along the proximal tibial physis to the posterior metaphyseal cortical.

Purification and characterization of growth-inhibitory compounds from 2 genera of British Columbia wild mushrooms: fomitopsis and phaeolus
Authors:   , Da Jiazhi
Published: May 2021

Modern science is currently working to characterize the beneficial compounds from mushrooms and their potential as pharmaceutical drugs. In this thesis, eight British Columbian wild mushroom collections (3 species), comprising Fomitopsis pinicola, Phaeolus schweinitzii and Phaeolus sp., were screened for growth-inhibitory potential. Out of 28 crude extracts, 15 exhibited strong growth-inhibitory activity. For the Phaeolus sp. collection, liquid-liquid extraction, sizeexclusion chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry (HPLCMS) were used to purify the growth-inhibitory compound of interest. NMR analyses confirmed its identity as hispidin, a known potent anti-cancer compound. Another compound with a mass to charge ratio of 283.2 in hexane extract of Phaeolus sp. was detected by HPLC-MS. This study provides the foundational work for further isolation of small molecule(s) from the three mushroom species and shed light on the profile of Phaeolus sp. as a source of growth-inhibitory compounds.
School Management Strategies to Improve Parental Involvement: Insights from School Principals in Southern Tshwane Primary Schools
Authors: Triegaardt Paul Karel , Diermen Elthea van
Published: May 2021

Parental involvement plays a very important role in the development of a child's formal education. Even though there are many benefits of parental involvement, there are many factors that constrain parental involvement. This study explored various management strategies that might serve as guidelines to improve parental involvement in Southern Tshwane primary schools. The conceptual framework that informed this study was Factors that Determine School Effectiveness by Heneveld and Craig as well as Epstein's theory of overlapping spheres and her typology on parental involvement that served as the theoretical framework for this study. A qualitative research approach was the method used for this study, as it allowed the researcher to conduct in-depth interviews with six principals in Southern Tshwane primary schools. An extensive literature study and relevant documents were also examined to collect rich and comprehensive information. The research indicates that most schools comprehend the importance of parental involvement, yet lack structured implementation frameworks for parental involvement. The study recommends that schools need to plan, manage and implement a parental involvement programme according to the unique circumstances of the school.

Published: May 2021

Aggressive behaviour of inpatients in mental health facilities occurs globally and is a serious nursing problem. Consequently, there is insufficient research studies conducted among nurses regarding the types of aggressive behaviour displayed by patients in psychiatric institutions. The purpose of this study was to determine nurses’ perceptions regarding the types of aggressive behaviour displayed by patients in a selected psychiatric hospital in Lesotho. A quantitative descriptive survey was used to collect data from 119 nurses who were selected by quota sampling. The data were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire, analysed by using SPSS (version 25), and displayed by using tables, frequencies, standard deviations, means and Pearson’s chi-square test. The findings reported that the types of aggressive behaviour included verbal aggression (86%, n = 103), physical aggression against objects (79%, n = 94), physical aggression against self (65.5%, n = 78), and physical aggression against other people (81.5%, n = 97). This study concludes that the perceptions of the nurses were positively inclined towards violent behaviour displayed by patients. The study recommends that nurses be equipped with comprehensive psychiatric skills and information to enable them to manage and cope with patients’ aggression.

Published: May 2021

Colibacteriosis is an acute zoonotic disease manifested by septicaemia, toxemia, enteritis, body dehydration, and central nervous system damage. Depending on the presence of virulence factors and the nature of interaction with the intestinal mucosa, enterotoxigenic, enteroinvasive, enteropathogenic, and enterohemorrhagic E. coli are isolated. Enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli occupy one of the leading places in the etiological structure of calf colibacteriosis in many livestock farms of the Republic of Belarus. The main reason why this disease develops is the presence of thermolabile and thermostable toxins in the causative strain. The thermolabile toxin subunit B is a potent antigen that allows pet immunity to be acquired against E. coli-induced cattle diarrhea. Many foreign vaccines used against intestinal infections of cattle contain either a native or recombinant variant of the subunit B. As a result of the work, we have created a new strain of E. coli 42eLTB – the producer of the recombinant subunit B of the thermolabile toxin E. coli. The producing capacity of the obtained strain is 480 mg with 1 culture liquid liter, which exceeds the already known strains 1.37 times.
GENEALOGY OF CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Makhonin Vladyslav
Published: May 2021

Given the ongoing reorientation of world economic dynamics from a model of sustainable economic development to a more perfect dialectically inclusive growth model, global scientific applied and theoretical thought requires a deeper understanding of the nature of these models of economic dynamics. Furthermore, a broader understanding of the nature and settings of the model of inclusive economic growth, declared by super-influential world institutions as the key social and economic modus of our time, should contribute to the improve-ment of its methodological aspect, which determines the success of the implementa-tion of the principles of inclusive economic growth in the policies of modern - both developed and developing - countries, as well as, thus, the level of well-being of the population. Applying the systemic and evolutionary approach, the author analyzed the interdisciplinary nature of the concepts of sustainable development and inclusive economic growth, as a result of which the multisystem historical origins of these concepts have been revealed and, thus, the understanding of the latter have been expanded. In particular, using the systemic and evolutionary approach, as well as relying on the works of the scientists mentioned below, specific examples in the development of science have been identified, which demonstrate the formation of a multisystem scientific paradigm in a period that spanned the gap on the historical canvas from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. Accord-ing to the author, as well as a number of scientists, this paradigm has set the trend towards a multidisciplinary research. Based on the specific facts given in the article, in the author’s opinion, it was under the influence of the above tendency that a model of sustainable economic development emerged in the 1970s, and a dialectically more perfect model of inclusive economic growth appeared at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Published: May 2021

This study aimed to investigate the protective influence of olive leave extract zinc oxide nanoparticles (OLEZnONPs) complex against gentamicin–induced kidney dysfunctions in goats. Twenty five adult female goats were randomly divided into five equal groups and treated as follows: control group (C) administered sterile distilled water (IM) for 10 days, group G administered 25 mg/kg BW gentamicin (IM) for 7 days, group Z administered 10 ìg/kg BW of OLEZnONPs (IP) for 3 days, group GTZ administered 25 mg/kg BW gentamicin (IM) for 7 days and then 10 ìg/kg BW of OLEZnONPs (IP) for 3 days, group GWZ administered 25 mg/kg BWs gentamicin (IM) and 10 ìg/kg BW of OLEZnONPs (IP) together for first 3 days and then followed by gentamicin only for 4 days. After seven days of the experiment, the gene expression of kidney injury molcule-1(KIM-1) and neutrophil gelatinase-association lipocalin (NGAL) gene expression of kidney tissue were measured. In addition, samples of kidney were obtained for histopathological examination. Gentamicin medication induced a marked elevation in kidney tissue KIM-1 and NGAL gene expression in G and GTZ groups compared to control and other groups. Intraperitoneal treatment of goats with OLEZnONPs did not significantly affect NGAL and KIM-1 gene expression in Z, GWZ, and control groups. Histologically, in contrast to control, gentamicin induced more extensive kidney damages such as necrotized glomeruli, atrophic glomeruli, and renal tubular epithelial necrosis, while it was found that these alterations in kidney tissues wereimproved in goats given OLEZnONPs with gentamicin compared to group G. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that OLEZnONPs reduce the deleterious effects of gentamicin with significantly decreasing of KIM-1 and NGAL gene expression and remodeling the histological changes of kidney in goats.

The median lethal dose (LD50) experiment for each type, fifty adult mice of mixed sex were used. They were divided into 5 equal number groups and were given different oral doses as following:-The red flower groups (RFG) received oral doses ranging from 225-425mg⁄Kg ,the pink flower group(PFG) received oral doses ranging from 200-400 mg ⁄Kg while the white flower groups (WFG) received doses ranging from 250- 450 mg⁄ Kg of body weight. The LD50 was calculated by employing probit method and found to be 325mg/kg for the RFG, 300mg/kg for the PFG and 350mg/kg for the WFG respectively. These results indicate that the toxic constituents of the leaves nearly same since there were no significance differences between LD50 of the three types.

Authors: Alwan Mohammed J.
Published: May 2021

This study was designed to explore the effect of the ethanolic extract of Sonchus oleraceus on Escherichia coli infection in mice. The LD50 of the orally dosage ethanolic extract of Sonchus oleraceus was found to be 800gm/kg B.W for two weeks. Twenty five mice were randomly divided into five groups. The first group was given orally the ethanolic extract with dose 800 mg/kg B.W for two weeks, then infected with Escherichia coli bacteria with dose 1×108 cfu for ten days. Second group was infected with Escherichia coli bacteria with dose 1×108 cfu for ten days then treated with ethanolic extract of Sonchus oleraceus for two weeks. The third group was infected only with Escherichia coli bacteria with a dose 1×108 cfu for ten days. Fourth group was given orally the ethanolic extract with a dose 800 mg/kg B.W orally for two weeks. Fifth group was given normal saline solution and serived as control The histopathological study showed pathological lesions in most of internal organs of the third group that infected with Escherichia coli bacteria specially liver, kidney and intestine. First group revealed lesions less than the third group, while the second group showed just aggregation of inflammatory cells in some internal organs and this refers that the  ethanolic extract of Sonchus oleraceus  have obvious inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli bacteria when compared with the infected group.

Authors: Ahmed S. Kh.
Published: May 2021

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of feed restricted (off-feeding intervals) on feed intake, water intake, body weight gain, growth rate, feed conversion ratio, mortality, and dressing percentage of broilers. Two hundred fourty, one day old unsexed, (Ross 308) broiler chicks were randomly distributed into four treatment groups. Each group included three replicates each one had 20 birds. Those assigned as; Control group (T1): birds were fed ad libtium, T2 group feed removed from 8 Am. to 4 Pm., T3 group feed removed from 4 Pm. to 8 Am., T4 group feed removed 8 Am. to 8Am. (skip-a day) all birds were allowed to access feed for above intervals for 8-21 days of age, and re-full fed for the remaining of experiment period 42 days. The results indicated that feed restriction system did significantly (P<0.05) affect live body weight, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio on starter diet period. Feed restriction significantly P<0.05 reduced feed consumption accompanied with water consumption positively correlated, decreases mortality in restriction period and at marketing, and increase dressing percentage, improved characteristics of carcasses at marketing age, the compensatory growth may be appeared after re-full free feeding for restricted groups to reach a close the market weight as control group., that was indicated by an increase in growth rate post feed restriction period especially at week (6th) as compared with the control group
Defamation in English and Arabic: A Pragmatic Contrastive Study
Authors: Algburi Basim Yahya Jasim , Igaab Zainab Kadim
Published: May 2021

Defamation is one of the verbal offences in which the plaintiff is accused of a certain wrongful act by one of the ways of publicity. If that wrongful act is proved, then the accused will be punished by law or lowered by his/her home people. Defamation is surely accusing another person of a wrongful act . Accusing can be done by any spoken or written ways whether truthful or doubtful. The purpose beyond those ways is to make those accusations about the victim true in the people's mind even if they are temporarily made. The aim of this study is to elucidate if there is a similarity or a difference between English and Arabic in terms of defamation. It has been hypothesized that both languages are different from each other in terms of the topic under investigation. This study arrives at: In terms of defamation, English and Arabic are similar to each other in having speech acts, grammatical referencing, conveyed meaning, malicious meaning, and discourse structure and framing with intentionality. English defamation cases include speech acts more than Arabic defamation ones.
A Never-ending Plight for Authentic Love
Authors: Franza Iana Carolina Maciel
Published: May 2021

«Schiz” is a Latinized word-forming element that means split, division or cleavage. In German, the word schizoid, turned up in the 1920’s meaning «resembling schizophrenia”, from the combination of (gr.) schiz + (gr.) oeides, «like”, form eidos, form or shape. In The Betrayal of the Body, The Language of the Body, and Bioenergetics, Dr. Lowen’s works that most thoroughly teach us his views about the schizoid character structure, it becomes evident that the story of the schizoid split is a one of very early rejection and hostile hatred, culminating in profound, many times painfully misunderstood, inner torment. The following article offers some considerations about the schizoid structure illustrated by an analysis of clinical work with a client. Reflecting upon the theoretical proposal of how interaction, in this case, may be felt particularly as an oppressive inner ambivalence, this paper will present considerations about handling with a schizoid client in the therapeutic setting.

Published: May 2021

In clinical applications, neural networks must focus on and highlight the most important parts of an input image. Soft-Attention mechanism enables a neural network to achieve this goal. This paper investigates the effectiveness of Soft-Attention in deep neural architectures. The central aim of Soft-Attention is to boost the value of important features and suppress the noise-inducing features. We com-pare the performance of VGG, ResNet, Inception ResNetv2 and DenseNet architectures with and without the Soft-Attention mechanism, while classifying skin lesions. The original network when coupled with Soft-Attention outperforms the baseline[16] by 4.7% while achieving a precision of 93.7% on HAM10000 dataset[25]. Additionally, Soft-Attention coupling improves the sensitivity score by 3.8% compared to baseline[31] and achieves 91.6% on ISIC-2017 dataset[2]. The code is publicly available at github

On the Importance of Listening and Intercultural Communication for Actions Against Racism
Authors: Baires Natalia A. , Catrone Rocco , Mayer Brandon Kenneth
Published: May 2021

In a period where racial inequities in the United States have garnered more attention and discussion as a result of social media (e.g., increased use of the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag; Anderson et al., 2020) and newer generations (Tatum, 2017b), it is important to ensure that communication between cultural groups is effective and produces systemic change. This paper will review the failures of a “post-racial” society, with emphasis on ineffective communication between Black, Indigenous People of Color and non-Black, Indigenous People of Color. The role of the listener during intercultural verbal exchanges will be examined, while highlighting the barriers and harmful results of ineffective communication. A behavioral conceptualization of effective listener behavior will be presented, which if implemented, may maintain and sustain social equity, inclusion, and justice. A call to action will be made to further investigate intercultural communication using behavior-analytic research methodologies and how such research might inform on how to functionally and precisely mediate reinforcement in the fight against racism.
Linguistic, Psychological and Metadiscourse Features of the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders: A Diachronic Examination of the Personality Disorders Section
Authors: Rensi Matthew , Dykeman Cass
Published: May 2021

Corpus linguistics is a growing field of analysis in the medical field, but despite its analytic abilities, it has yet to be utilized on psychiatry’s chief text, the DSM. This study utilizes a diachronic corpus linguistics approach to examine changes in the personality disorders sections of the various editions of the DSM. The analysis reveals that there is actually little linguistic change in the DSM from its inception to the most recent version. These findings have implications for how practitioners and educators think about, use, and teach the DSM and may impact future versions of the DSM.
