Defending against OS-Level Malware in Mobile Devices via Real-Time Malware Detection and Storage Restoration
Authors: Chen Niusen , Chen Bo
Published: May 2022

Combating the OS-level malware is a very challenging problem as this type of malware can compromise the operating system, obtaining the kernel privilege and subverting almost all the existing anti-malware tools. This work aims to address this problem in the context of mobile devices. As real-world malware is very heterogeneous, we narrow down the scope of our work by especially focusing on a special type of OS-level malware that always corrupts user data. We have designed mobiDOM, the first framework that can combat the OS-level data corruption malware for mobile computing devices. Our mobiDOM contains two components, a malware detector and a data repairer. The malware detector can securely and timely detect the presence of OS-level malware by fully utilizing the existing hardware features of a mobile device, namely, flash memory and Arm TrustZone. Specifically, we integrate the malware detection into the flash translation layer (FTL), a firmware layer embedded into the flash storage hardware, which is inaccessible to the OS; in addition, we run a trusted application in the Arm TrustZone secure world, which acts as a user-level manager of the malware detector. The FTL-based malware detection and the TrustZone-based manager can communicate with each other stealthily via steganography. The data repairer can allow restoring the external storage to a healthy historical state by taking advantage of the out-of-place-update feature of flash memory and our malware-aware garbage collection in the FTL. Security analysis and experimental evaluation on a real-world testbed confirm the effectiveness of mobiDOM.

Authors: Li Yucheng , Zhang Yang , Li Yongtian , Wu Yifeng
Published: May 2022

A novel negative thermal expansion (NTE) material composed of Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ was synthesized using the solid-state method. By allowing Sr2+ to partially replace Sm3+ in SmMnO3, the ceramic material Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ exhibits NTE properties between 360K and 873K, and its average negative thermal expansion coefficient was −10.08 × 10−6/K. The structure of Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ is orthogonal, the space group is pbnm, the morphology is regular, and the grain size is uniform. The results of X-ray diffraction and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) suggest that the NTE phenomenon is related to the electron transfer of Mn ions. With the increase in temperature, Mn4+ is rapidly transformed into Mn3+, accompanied by Mn4+O6 octahedron distortion and oxygen defects. It was found that the sample volume continually decreased at the same time.

Published: May 2022

Electronic health records naturally contain most of the medical information in the form of doctor’s notes as unstructured or semi-structured texts. Current deep learning text analysis approaches allow researchers to reveal the inner semantics of text information and even identify hidden consequences that can offer extra decision support to doctors. In the presented article, we offer a new automated analysis of Polish summary texts of patient hospitalizations. The presented models were found to be able to predict the final diagnosis with almost 70% accuracy based just on the patient’s medical history (only 132 words on average), with possible accuracy increases when adding further sentences from hospitalization results; even one sentence was found to improve the results by 4%, and the best accuracy of 78% was achieved with five extra sentences. In addition to detailed descriptions of the data and methodology, we present an evaluation of the analysis using more than 50,000 Polish cardiology patient texts and dive into a detailed error analysis of the approach. The results indicate that the deep analysis of just the medical history summary can suggest the direction of diagnosis with a high probability that can be further increased just by supplementing the records with further examination results.

Published: May 2022

Two years after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disease continues to claim victims worldwide. Assessing the disease’s severity on admission may be useful in reducing mortality among patients with COVID-19. The present study was designed to assess the prognostic value of SOFA and qSOFA scoring systems for in-hospital mortality among patients with COVID-19. The study included 133 patients with COVID-19 proven by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) admitted to the Municipal Emergency Clinical Hospital of Timisoara, Romania between 1 October 2020 and 15 March 2021. Data on clinical features and laboratory findings on admission were collected from electronic medical records and used to compute SOFA and qSOFA. Mean SOFA and qSOFA values were higher in the non-survivor group compared to survivors (3.5 vs. 1 for SOFA and 2 vs. 1 for qSOFA, respectively). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) analyses were performed to determine the discrimination accuracy, both risk scores being excellent predictors of in-hospital mortality, with ROC–AUC values of 0.800 for SOFA and 0.794 for qSOFA. The regression analysis showed that for every one-point increase in SOFA score, mortality risk increased by 1.82 and for every one-point increase in qSOFA score, mortality risk increased by 5.23. In addition, patients with SOFA and qSOFA above the cut-off values have an increased risk of mortality with ORs of 7.46 and 11.3, respectively. In conclusion, SOFA and qSOFA are excellent predictors of in-hospital mortality among COVID-19 patients. These scores determined at admission could help physicians identify those patients at high risk of severe COVID-19.

Published: May 2022

The article gives tips on how to achieve real savings in electricity costs during the operation of an oxygen station, determined by the speed of performance regulation and the launch of cryogenic and adsorption technologies. A comparative analysis of obtaining 40,000 Nm³ /hr of oxygen with a purity of at least 93% and a pressure of 0.5 MPa at the output of the oxygen station with round-the-clock and year-round operation was carried out. The optimal solution to the problem under consideration is the use of cryogenic technology. The advantage of adsorption technology, compared to cryogenic one, is the ability to quickly stop and enter the mode. However, this advantage can manifest itself only in cases when there is no constant oxygen consumption at the enterprise, the periods of equipment downtime are long and unpredictable, the power supply system is unstable, and the required peak costs are very significant, which does not allow the use of a liquid product storage park. The practical value of the article is that the customer's service can determine how much savings will be comparable to the excess of the present cost of capital and operating costs for adsorption technologies, ranging from $ 25 million (without adsorbent replacement) to $ 40 million (with adsorbent replacement) over 20 years.

The article provides examples of using one-sided surfaces, which are completed static structures with surfaces turned inside out, in design practice. One-sided surfaces are the objects of study of topological mathematicians, but in recent years these surfaces have been employed in their research by physicists and chemists. One-sided surfaces include the following surfaces: the Mobius strip, the Klein bottle, the heptahedron and the Steiner surface. One-sided surfaces were discovered and studied by German mathematicians A. Mobius and J. Listing independently of each other in the middle of the 19ᵗʰ century. The first patents for the engineers» inventions, which used the properties of one-sided surfaces, appeared in the 20ᵗʰ century. The latest scientists» achievements in the field of physics and chemistry, awarded the Nobel Prize, were obtained by using the properties of one-sided surfaces. The material of the article will allow drawing the attention of design engineers to one-sided surfaces when creating new machines and improving technological processes. Layouts of these surfaces are printed on a 3D printer using electronic models of the Mobius strip, the Klein bottle and the heptahedron.

The stone vaults of historical buildings are considered, which, due to a decrease in bearing capacity, require repair and restoration work. An analysis is given of the mechanisms of destruction of cylindrical vaults depending on the ratio of their height to the span. The advantages of strengthening the vaults with the help of reinforcement with composite materials are analyzed. A description is given of the technology of surface reinforcement of stone structures using composite materials on a polymer cement matrix FRCM (Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix). The technique of experimental studies of models of reinforced and non-reinforced vaults is given. On the basis of the experiment, it is shown that the effectiveness of the reinforcement of the vaults is determined by the features of their stress-strain state and failure mechanisms. In particular, the effectiveness of reinforcement increases with an increase in the ratio of the height of the vaults to its span. These results are substantiated by the fact that in high arches the ratio of bending moments and longitudinal forces is dominant, and in the case of flat arches, longitudinal and transverse forces dominate in their sections, and destruction occurs in the form of shearing along inclined sections. Also, the effectiveness of reinforcement increases with their asymmetric loading relative to the middle of the span. According to the results of the study, graphs of the dependence of the maximum vertical displacements of the vaults were constructed, showing a significant effect of reinforcement on increasing their rigidity. In addition, it is emphasized that by now there is a need for a stable theory of the strength of complex stone structures - curvilinear, vaulted and others that are in a complex stress state. Its appearance can significantly simplify and unify the calculations made when examining stone buildings, drawing up projects for their restoration and reconstruction, and solve the problems of the strength of the masonry of modern facade systems.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF CORROSION-DAMAGED COMPRESSED REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS
Authors:   Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, POPOV D.S.
Published: May 2022

There are practically no results of experimental studies of elements made of compressed reinforced concrete damaged by corrosion in the scientific literature. As a result, it is almost impossible to reliably assess the state of deformation-deformation of these structures, especially under dynamic loads. For experimental studies, 37 samples of reinforced concrete were made-columns of square cross-section with dimensions of 100x100 mm, height of 700 mm. Local corrosion damages of concrete and reinforcement were created in reinforced concrete samples, while a concentrated (37%) hydrochloric acid (HCL) solution was used as an aggressor to accelerate the corrosion of elements. The article describes experimental studies on changing the dynamic properties of reinforced concrete elements that undergo corrosion during eccentrically compression. Based on strain gauge data, it was found that corrosion damage leads to a decrease in the height of the compressed concrete section by reducing the cross-section of the stretched reinforcing bars, as well as to the lack of joint work of reinforcing bars with concrete. According to strain measurement data, deformations of uncompressed and undamaged sections were obtained, which showed that the deformation diagrams fundamentally differ in their contour. The results obtained as a result of the study of the nature of deformation of reinforcement and concrete allowed us to assess the state of deformation stress of damaged and non-corroded structures according to the parameter ne-1 / r (curvature). The effect of corrosion damage on the nature of destruction of eccentrically compressed elements has been established.

Authors: Kozlov Dmytro
Published: May 2022

The study focuses on externalities which play the important role in sustainable development. They indicate the impact of the company’s activity on the third persons. On the basis of findings, the externalities from the company’s financial reports are monetarized. The externalities exerting influence on the profit or loss as well as on the total balance of the company are analysed. Positive and negative externalities are identified in order to internalize the negative externalities with the help of definite strategies of sustainable development. It is emphasized that the long-term action plans to ensure competitiveness, environmental protection and social legitimacy help to adapt to expected market, environmental and social developments. The study discusses current strategies: defensive (reactive), offensive that are viewed from the economic, environmental and social perspective. It is investigated that the defensive strategies are limited to the implementation of relevant laws or agreements in order to avoid negative consequences for the legislator. On the other hand, offensive, inward-looking strategies are aimed at aligning the company’s structures (organizations) and systems (environmental management systems) with the requirements of sustainable development, motivation and qualification of employees for sustainable development. The environmental sustainable development strategies are focused on a variety of ecological aspects. The emergence of economic, environmental and social risks and opportunities in machine-building company with their potential solutions is underlined. As the matter of fact, using the right strategy, the company can easily go through the internalization of negative externality to exert more substantial impact on the society, environment and the economy.
A Review of the Monograph by T. Pimonenko, O. Lyulyov, N. Letunovska "Circular and Carbon-Free Economy: The Roadmap for Harmonizing National and European Standards for Energy Market"
Authors: Titko Jelena
Published: May 2022

Circular and carbon-neutral economic development are the topical areas of implementing the climate strategy in many countries. According to these concepts, the main basis for economic development is the growth of the renewable energy share in the structure of energy consumption. The fact that Ukraine has announced that in the future its evolution will be determined by the European integration vector of development means that a prerequisite for the transition to the next steps of development is the synchronization of the national energy policy in accordance with the strategic guidelines of the European region. To develop an effective roadmap for harmonising Ukrainian and European standards of energy market regulation, it is advisable to analyse the experience of implementing energy efficiency practices in the policies of other countries in the European region. The authors forecast the structure of energy production from renewable sources, based on empirical calculations. The development and implementation of modernized mechanisms for regulating the energy market in European countries is a prerequisite for the successful adaptation of the Ukrainian energy sector and the introduction of effective approaches to the management of local businesses and all industries that depend on energy resources.

Authors: Liang Zhiwei , Kovács Gergő Péter , Gyuricza Csaba , Neményi András
Published: May 2022

There are many literature sources focusing on the phytoremediation of woody plants, but there are only few dealing with the phytoremediation of bamboo plants. Phytoremediation technology has the advantages of little disturbance to the environment and low remediation cost. Bamboo mainly exists in tropical and subtropical regions. As an energy plant, bamboo has a fast growth cycle, large biomass, simple cultivation, high economic efficiency, and convenient harvesting, which highlights the advantages of bamboo in phytoremediation. In addition, bamboo plants have good tolerance and uptake ability to heavy metals and have high application potential and development value in uptaking heavy metal contaminated soil. However, due to climate, temperature and other reasons, bamboo cannot be widely planted in most countries. Research status of remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil by bamboo plants is summarized. The feasibility of its application in heavy metal contaminated soil is discussed in this paper. Aiming at the shortcomings of existing research, bamboo plants have a prospect in the field of plant phytoremediation for the future.

Indigenous chickens are well known for their dual-purpose function and palatable meat. However, the information on their hematology parameters is lacking and hence hampering the poultry industry production of local breeds. The main objective of this study was to examine the hematological parameters of Hungarian Partridge Coloured hen (HPC) and TETRA-SL (TSL) genotype and determine the hematological reference interval values. This trial was part of the larger experiment where a total of 200 chicks (HPC + TSL) were reared. For this trial the blood samples were obtained from brachial wing veins of 8 chicks of each genotype for blood hematological analysis. The results indicated that some of the hematological parameters such as red blood cells-RBC, white blood cells-WBC, hemoglobin-Hb, hematocrit-Ht, platelets-Plt, lymphocytes-LYM, and granulocytes-GRAN were significantly affected by the genotypes (p < 0.05). The genotype did not affect the mean corpuscular volume-MCV, mean corpuscular hemoglobin-MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration-MCHC, and GRAN (p > 0.05). The hematological reference interval values were slightly higher in the TSL genotype compared to HPC chicks. It is concluded that genotype has a significant effect on the hematological parameters. The results from this trial will be help and design the baseline reference values for the HPC genotype which will be useful in assessing the health status of these indigenous chickens.

Introduction: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) regarded as the main type of primary glomerulonephritis globally. It has a diverse clinical course and unpredictable prognosis. Traditionally, clinical and pathological features are conducted to prognosticate the outcome of the disease. Recently, attention has been directed towards other indices that may have prognostic implications for IgAN progression. The Ki-67 index have been extensively detected as a proliferation marker of malignant cells for several years. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the prognostic impact of Ki-67 expression in IgAN biopsies. Patients and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 18 biopsy-proven IgAN patients. IgAN was diagnosed by significant IgA deposits and according to the morphologic variables of Oxford (MEST) classification for this disease. The expression of Ki-67 in the glomeruli, interstitium and tubules was described as the intensity percentage of the immunohistochemical staining. Results: In all of the eighteen cases with biopsy-proven IgAN, the mean ± SD of age, degree of proteinuria and serum creatinine were 36.3±17 years, 1600±733 mg/day and 1.2±0.4 mg/dL, respectively. In this study, we found a significant correlation between glomerular Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining and MEST scores (r: 0.780, P< 0.001). We also detected a significant correlation between interstitial Ki-67 staining and MEST scores (r: 0.700, P=0.001). Moreover, Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining of the interstitium had a significant relationship with IgM deposits (r=0.544, P=0.02). Conclusion: In this pilot study, we found that interstitial and glomerular Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining had positive and significant associations with MEST scores. Our data also showed that interstitial Ki-67 staining had a significant relationship with IgM deposits. These preliminary results require further investigation in large-scale studies.
Understanding the concept of Industrial Tourism
Authors: Montenegro Zulmira , Marques Jorge , Sousa Cristina
Published: May 2022

Industrial Tourism can be seen as a type of tourism that includes visits to industrial sites of the present, past or future, therefore including sites that are no longer active in their industrial function, industrial companies currently in operation, sites of future industrial facilities and places whose theme is related to industry (namely industrial technology centers, museums, industrial tourist routes, schools, and industrial laboratories). Thus, Industrial Tourism can include all kinds of tourist activities whose main reason for the visit is related to industrial knowledge, material and/or immaterial heritage. However, there is still a lack of conceptual clariry in the literature that may preclude the affirmation of this research topic that has received a reduced, but increasing, attention from the tourism studies community. The paper aims to contribut to a better understanding of the concept of Industrial Tourism and how it has evolved over time. For that it performs a systematic literature review considering 86 papers published in journals indexed in the two major bibliographic bases - Scopus and Web of Science, between 1996 and 2021. The analysis shows the heterogeneity of definition and approachs to this type of tourism. It also identifies two main approaches to the study of Industrial Tourism. The first sees the tourism phenomenon through the use of elements from the industrial past; The second, adresses it through the visit to active industries, which will allow tourists to experience firsthand the production processes of the products they consume.

Published: May 2022

Porto has been a city with a mercantile vocation since at least the 12th century. In fact, in 1353, during the reign of Afonso IV, the Porto merchant Afonso Martins Alho assumed a pioneering role when negotiating the first trade treaty with King Edward III of England. As the commercial cosmopolitanism of this city has been known since ancient times, it will be important to know how foreigners described the landscape of the city once known as Portucale during the Early Modern Age (15th to 18th centuries). In this context, this study will seek to reveal the evolution of the imagery of the city of Porto built by foreigners. Therefore, we will characterize the profile of the first travellers who settled in the village and who poured their experiences into travel book accounts. These precocious travellers were diplomats, nobles, soldiers, scientists, artists, among others. The narratives, in this historical period, still had a biographical bent, where personal considerations and opinions about the places they visited were prominent. These types of reports are useful, if seen as a complementary source to others, as they present testimonies that are far from the reality of Porto, as well as comparative views with the reality of the country from which these travellers come. Therefore, the methodology used will focus on a space delimited by the city of Porto and its term and on a time interval that will begin in the mid-fifteenth century and end in the beginning of the eighteenth century. Through the analysis and documentary interpretation of secondary and primary sources, we will seek to know the specific ways in which outsiders represented the “Porto destination”. With regard to the implications of our investigation, we believe that this will prove useful for the marketing managers of the Porto destination, since, by getting to know the way in which the imagery of the city was constructed by outsiders, during the Early Modern Age, they will be able to promote the Porto destination in a more authentic and differentiated way than the direct competition.

Ritual food and gastronomy, as intangible cultural heritage, is important for preserving cultural identity and traditions of a country, as well as a tool for promoting tourism. Due to globalisation and the mixture of different cultures, there is a risk that ritual food and associated traditions may be lost. In this context, the EURICA project aims to contribute to the preservation and safeguarding of European ritual recipes. The present work reflects the perspectives of the project´s target group, represented by cultural organisations and stakeholders on the importance and ways of preserving this intangible cultural heritage, focusing on digital presentation and promotion. The results of the work are intended to raise the awareness of the target group about the process of digitisation of intangible cultural heritage, which in turn leads to the preservation of traditional Portuguese gastronomy in a long-term context.

In abroad, blacks and whites are racially diverse. Although no one explicitly supports this, it is in the form of intrinsic fire. As far as India is concerned, although the distinctions of race, caste, class, language and religion are not admirable, it is a fiery fire and sometimes apparently shown. Today, Dalit literature in Tamil has established itself in the identity of a significant development. Since the outlook of Dalit literature written by Dalits has been broadened today, it is necessary to mention here the status of Dalit life in Telugu literature in terms of translated novels beyond the Tamil region. Thus, the Telugu novel 'Cheri' (Slum) written by Unnava Lakshminarayana has been translated into Tamil by MK Jagannath Raja. The article highlights the way Dalits are oppressed for being Dalits, even though they are spiritually and economically affluent in this novel.

В ході роботи було проведено порівняльний аналіз поширеності, топографії, структури дефектів зубних рядів молодого населення м. Одеси ті м. Івано-Франківска і на основі цих даних науково – обґрунтована потреба цієї групи населення в дентальних імпланта- тах в якості опор незнімних ортопедичних конструкцій. Також на осмотрі стоматологічних оглядів було вивчено забезпеченість в цьому виді допомоги. Матеріали та методи. Згідно з рекомендаціями ВООЗ були сформовані наступні вікові групи: 15–19, 20–24, 25–29 років. Кількість обстежених у кожній віковій групі складала 70 осіб. При обстеженні в обстежувані групи включались тільки соматичні особи які не мали протипоказань до проведення дентальної імплантації. Всього було обстежено 420 осіб в м. Івано- Франківську і м. Одесі вікової групи обстеження. Отримані результати перераховувались на 1000 чоловік населення. Результати та їх обговорення. При аналізі отриманих даних проглядаються наступні закономірності: більш велика кількість осіб у всіх вікових категоріях, які не мають дефектів зубних рядів, серед жителів м. Одеси. У жителів м. Івано-Франківська у всіх вікових групах було виявлено значно більшу загальну кількість дефектів, ніж серед жителів м. Одеси. Також звертає на себе тай факт, що серед жителів м. Одеси у віковій групі 15–19 років відсутні дистально-необмежені дефекти, в той же час, серед жителів м. Івано- Франківська цей показник склав 57,1 осіб. У жителів м. Одеси молодого віку не має дефектів протяжністю в 4 зуби, в той же час у жителів м. Івано-Франківська у віковій групі 25–29 років таких було 100 осіб на 1000 чоловік населення. З 210 обстежених осіб молодого віку мешканців м. Одеси ортопедичні конструкції з опорою на дентальні імплантати мали 9 осіб (їм було встановлено 16 імплантатів). Серед жителів м. Івано-Франківська з 210 обстежених ортопедичні конструкції з опорою на дентальні імплантати мали 7 осіб (їм було встановлено 12 імплантатів). На основі отриманих даних, потреба молодого населення м. Одеси в імплантатах становить 9,7 % від загальної потреби. Серед жителів м. Івано-Франківська – 4 % від потреби. На підставі проведених досліджень було зроблено наступні висновки: 1. Було виявлено значно більшу кількість дефектів у жителів м. Івано-Франківська у всіх вікових групах молодого населення порівняно з жителями м. Одеси. 2. Молоде населення м. Одеси з ціллю виготовлення незнімних ортопедичних конструкцій з опорою на дентальні імплантати має потребу в встановленні 2364 імплантатів на 1000 чоловік, а в м.

Usos y apropiaciones de la comunicación, las tecnologías mediáticas y plataformas digitales en la protesta social y formas de organización de los movimientos sociales campesinos en la región del Magdalena Medio – Colombia
Authors:   , Durán Gutiérrez Orley Reinaldo
Published: May 2022

La larga tradición de organización política y social de los campesinos en Colombia puede asumirse como referencia clave para dimensionar el alcance de sus luchas, particularmente durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX y las primeras del siglo XXI. El Magdalena Medio, región altamente influenciada por las dinámicas que marca la disputa por la tierra en el país, ha visto florecer movimientos campesinos con recorridos históricos significativos y experiencias particulares en las que se ha confrontado al Estado colombiano, sus gobernantes y otros actores involucrados en los conflictos latentes en la región. En este escenario, los movimientos campesinos han adoptado prácticas, procesos y estrategias cada vez más desarrolladas con las que defienden su derecho al territorio y a la vida; una de estas se basa en la comunicación, no sólo como una práctica implícita en su interacción, sino como un ejercicio que proyecta sus principios e ideales y que ha contribuido estratégicamente en el avance de sus luchas. Radio, prensa, páginas web, redes sociales y los distintos escenarios de comunicación interpersonal han adquirido nuevos significados y funciones para los movimientos campesinos, quienes los han apropiado y utilizado como recursos en su quehacer político. Esta investigación indaga precisamente por los usos y apropiaciones que los movimientos campesinos del Magdalena Medio han establecido en torno a la comunicación, las tecnologías mediáticas y las plataformas digitales en escenarios de protesta y agitación política. Como uno de los referentes de análisis se toma la experiencia de la huelga campesina en el marco del Paro Nacional Agrario de 2013, para determinar cómo estos usos y apropiaciones interactúan con la acción política y de organización social de los movimientos campesinos de la región. El análisis central se basa en los relatos de los y las integrantes de tres movimientos campesinos: la Comisión de Interlocución del Sur de Bolívar, Centro y Sur del Cesar; la Asociación Campesina del Valle del río Cimitarra; y el Movimiento Campesino Cacaotero del Valle de Chucurí. Los resultados dan cuenta del impacto positivo de involucrar la comunicación, las plataformas digitales y las tecnologías mediáticas en las luchas políticas de los movimientos campesinos; como también de su influencia en la estructura organizativa. No obstante, se concluye, a pesar de su centralidad son procesos, técnicas e instrumentos que se integran a otros recursos que también han alcanzado cierto desarrollo en el devenir histórico de los movimientos. Por tanto, la maduración del movimiento y el alcance de sus luchas es el resultado, sí de la comunicación, pero también de un bagaje político que ha sabido involucrarla de manera estratégica.
