Cosmic Ray Dissociation of Molecular Hydrogen and Dense Cloud Chemistry
Authors: Shaw Gargi , Ferland G. J. , Ploeckinger S.
Published: June 2020

Dissociation of molecular hydrogen by secondary electrons produced by cosmic ray or X-ray ionization plays a crucial role in the chemistry of the densest part of molecular clouds. Here we study the effect of the mean kinetic energy of secondary electrons on this process. We compare predictions using a range of secondary electron energies and predictions of the cross sections with the values in the UMIST database. We find that the predicted column densities change by nearly one dex.
A Technique for Performing Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in the Sitting and Prone Positions
Authors: Esaki Kohji , Ishikawa Hiroshi , Liebmann Jeffrey M , Ritch Robert
Published: June 2020

Abstract. To develop a reliable method for performing ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in the sitting and prone positions. The probe suspended from an articulated arm was removed and reattached to the arm upside-down for use in the prone position and horizontally for use in the sitting position. A latex TonoPen tip cover was attached to the edge of the eyecup and was placed over the transducer through the small hole on the tip of the Tono-Pen tip cover. UBM was successfully performed in the prone and sitting positions with no loss of image quality. This method can expand the ability of the UBM to examine alterations in anatomic relationships among anterior segment structures between the supine, sitting, and prone positions.

Maculopathy Associated With Osmotic Blood– Brain Barrier Disruption and Chemotherapy in Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma
Authors: Simonett Joseph M. , Ambady Prakash , Neuwelt Edward A. , Skalet Alison H. , Lin Phoebe
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To describe the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of a pigmentary maculopathy in patients with primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma treated with blood–brain barrier disruption (BBBD) therapy.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:

This retrospective chart review included patients with biopsy-proven primary CNS lymphoma treated with or without BBBD therapy who underwent an ophthalmic examination after starting systemic treatment. Clinical data and all available retinal imaging were analyzed.

RESULTS:

Fifty-eight patients met inclusion criteria. Twenty-one of 36 patients treated with BBBD therapy had a bilateral pigmentary maculopathy. None of the 22 patients treated with conventional chemotherapy had similar changes. Additional findings in patients treated with BBBD included geographic retinal pigment epithelium atrophy, subretinal fluid, and in one case, choroidal neovascularization. Some cases of maculopathy resulted in reduced visual acuity. The presence of a pigmentary maculopathy was associated with a higher number of BBBD treatment sessions (20.1 vs 13.3,
P
= .016), but not vitreoretinal lymphoma involvement or intravitreal methotrexate injections.

CONCLUSION:

In this cohort, 58.3% of patients with primary CNS lymphoma treated with BBBD and chemotherapy were found to have a bilateral pigmentary maculopathy. This maculopathy can result in reduced visual acuity and is associated with the number of BBBD treatment sessions.

Genotypic and Phenotypic Antibiotic Resistance in
Staphylococcus Epidermidis
Endophthalmitis
Authors: Laura Diana M. , Scott Nathan L. , Vanner Elizabeth A. , Miller Darlene , Flynn Harry W.
Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate antibiotic resistance patterns in
Staphylococcus epidermis
endophthalmitis isolates, identify antibiotic resistance genes, and compare this to their phenotypic resistance.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Retrospective case series of
S. epidermidis
isolates from January 2012 to December 2017. Phenotypic resistance was determined from minimum inhibitory concentration values. Genotypic resistance was determined from DNA microarray. The relationship between these was analyzed using Cohen's kappa and predictive value.

RESULTS:

Seventy-five isolates were included. More than 60% were resistant to methicillin and erythromycin. Approximately 60% possessed the resistance genes for methicillin and erythromycin, and 25% for clindamycin. There was near perfect agreement between genotype and phenotype for erythromycin and methicillin (kappa = 0.88 and 0.89, respectively). Approximately 98% (
P
< 0.0001) of isolates with erythromycin and methicillin resistance genes and 90% (
P
= 0.0006) with clindamycin resistance genes were phenotypically resistant to those antibiotics. None were resistant to vancomycin.

CONCLUSION:

The relationship between genotypic and phenotypic antibiotic resistance highlights that resistance may be polygenic, and genes may be silent.

« L’imagination au pouvoir ! » Appropriation, matérialité et performance de la thérapie par réalité virtuelle en santé mentale
Authors: Forner-Ordioni Elsa
Published: June 2020

Dernière-née des thérapies cognitives et comportementales, la thérapie par réalité virtuelle constitue une innovation récente dans le champ des interventions psychothérapeutiques non médicamenteuses. À partir d’observations réalisées en France lors des consultations d’un psychiatre utilisant la thérapie par réalité virtuelle, cet article vise à rendre compte des modalités d’appropriation du dispositif de soin par les patients ainsi que de la matérialité des ingrédients qui le composent. À la croisée des enjeux relatifs à la montée de solutions innovantes thérapeutiques en ligne et des modes d’intervention thérapeutiques favorisant l’autonomie, la thérapie par réalité virtuelle interroge la façon dont des dispositifs sociotechniques transforment le dispositif de soin. Je décrirai dans un premier temps comment le dispositif de thérapie par réalité virtuelle, à la fois standardisé et individualisé, permet une adaptation sur mesure en fonction du trouble du patient, compatible avec les enjeux contemporains de santé publique. Dans un second temps, nous verrons comment le patient, en recherche de nouvelles prises pour l’action, est partie prenante d’un dispositif qui requiert une performance au sein de l’environnement immersif, par le biais d’un apprentissage ludique où il devient « héros » de « l’aventure thérapeutique », confronté à un environnement anxiogène.
Le « Projet Jonathan ». Aménager un environnement autour d’un enfant porteur d’autisme
Authors: Servais Véronique
Published: June 2020

Le texte est un retour réflexif sur un travail clinique réalisé par une équipe, dont a fait partie l’auteur, avec un enfant porteur d’autisme, Jonathan, en l’emmenant rencontrer quotidiennement des dauphins captifs durant trois étés consécutifs. Ce travail ancien est présenté à la lumière des écrits de Fernand Deligny, découverts longtemps après la fin du projet, qui m’ont permis de l’envisager sous un jour nouveau et de formaliser ce qui m’apparaissait jusqu’alors comme indicible. L’élément clé du travail avec Jonathan est identifié comme l’aménagement, autour de l’enfant et avec lui, d’un environnement matériel, relationnel et symbolique ayant pour particularités d’accepter l’incertitude et les narrations multiples, de se retenir d’imposer un savoir a priori et de permettre ainsi à Jonathan de prendre une place au sein de notre équipe. En s’appuyant sur les notes prises au cours du projet et sur l’écho qu’en renvoie ma lecture des écrits de Deligny, le présent récit identifie les traits saillants de ce travail, amenant à qualifier la manière d’agir avec Jonathan, « d’agir ensemble dans le "non vouloir" », une manière d’agir qui tente d’éviter, autant que faire se peut, les buts conscients.

Published: June 2020

A região do Planalto Santareno, constituída por áreas dos municípios de Santarém, Belterra e Mojuí dos Campos, estado do Pará, Brasil, tem emergido como caso emblemático da relação de conflito entre agronegócio e agricultura familiar. Neste artigo, apresentamos as formas de interação entre estes dois modelos produtivos, a partir dos resultados de Zoneamento Participativo da Agricultura Familiar no Planalto Santareno, realizado junto a atores locais como parte de um esforço de co-construção de um Observatório das Dinâmicas Socioambientais na Amazônia. Os resultados mostram que diante de uma de uma lógica relativamente homogênea de expansão do agronegócio no planalto santareno a agricultura familiar se configura e interage com o agronegócio de diversas formas nesse território. Argumentamos que essa diversidade da agricultura familiar, caracterizada por zonas distintas, reflete trajetórias locais que variam de acordo com uma série de fatores operantes de forma contextual, como histórico de ocupação, atributos físicos da paisagem, acesso a mercados, infraestrutura, organização social, proximidade com os centros urbanos, entre outros. Levando em conta essa diversidade propomos reflexões a respeito da relação entre os diferentes modelos de produção abordados, apontando possíveis estratégias de fortalecimento da agricultura familiar.

The objective of this chapter is to analyze articles on the adaptation of the elderly to NIV. The methodology is integrative literature review, using the PICO methodology. After analyzing the content covered, the authors found that there are common factors regarding the adaptation of elderly users to NIV. COPD users are the main users of NIV. This technique promotes an improvement in the quality of life. The introduction of NIV in the user's daily life requires behavioral and lifestyle changes involving health professionals, the user, and caregivers. The choice of the type of ventilator and interfaces is important, in issues such as late assessment of the user's condition and the influence of external factors in adapting to NIV, such as the use of drugs. The adaptation of the elderly user to NIV is influenced by socio-demographic, pathological, anatomical, and associated factors.

Published: June 2020

The objective of this chapter is to identify the latest evidence on the elderly critical patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nine articles were analysed. The effectiveness of NIV has been demonstrated in cases of elderly critically ill patients with acute COPD. Evidence has been shown to decrease hospital stay and mortality, although long-term survival has been shown to be short. The prediction of NIV failure is multifactorial, including very old age, comorbidities, low analytical values of albumin, simplified severity index II, pH < 7.3 of arterial blood, PaCO2 (Carbon Dioxide Pressure) < 45 mmHg, CAT (COPD Assessment Test) elevated, Glasgow Coma Scale < 11, and APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) 29. NIV has demonstrated efficacy in elderly patients in situations of acute COPD.

Inhalotherapy in Noninvasive Ventilation
Authors: Pereira Mónica Helena Correia , Carvalho João Miguel Bettencourt Sena , Pinto Paula Maria Gonçalves , Oliveira Cordeiro Maria do Carmo
Published: June 2020

The use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has markedly increased over the last decades, and NIV has now become an important alternative to invasive ventilation and has gained popularity particularly as treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and acute respiratory failure. The most prominent forms of NIV are noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and the recently introduced high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy. Many patients who received NIV may also benefit from the administration of pharmaceutical aerosols, typically bronchodilators, which are best delivered without interrupting respiratory support. For example, nowadays, the use of NIV is considered the standard of care for some forms of acute respiratory failure such as COPD exacerbation and acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Patients with COPD exacerbation also benefit from inhaled bronchodilator therapy.
Jaziret Fadel
Authors: Abdrabo Amal Adel
Published: June 2020

The plight of refugees fleeing from Palestine in 1948 raises several key questions regarding their historical fragmentation as a nation and their future. From a social anthropological point of view, the existing literature seems to tackle the Palestinian case from different perspectives influenced by the mass exodus of Palestinians from their homeland. Such perceptions took for granted the recognition of the state of “refugeeness” of the exiled Palestinians around the globe, while, in reality, it is a mutual interaction between people, place, and time. In the aftermath of the Arab-Israeli War at the beginning of the year 1948, more than 700,000 Palestinians fled their homes in Palestine to the nearby Arab countries, among them was Egypt. Some thousands settled in different areas all over Egypt. Based on a preliminary research on the literature, the author can argue that this is the first ethnographic study of the social life of the village of Jaziret Fadel and its Palestinian inhabitants in Egypt. The chapter is about tackling the historical trajectories, genealogies, memories, and present of the inhabitants of this village who seemed to be torn between two nostalgic pasts. The author's emphasis within this chapter is about how the narratives of the past memories could reveal a lot about the present time of the human societies and their future.
Crossing Invisible Boundaries and Re-Gaining Home
Authors: Odongoh Stevens Aguto , Abdrabo Amal Adel
Published: June 2020

The current chapter deals with two different cases of post-war displacement, divided by thousands of miles and located in two different social, cultural, and political contexts. The two authors of this chapter believe that sometimes what the construction of knowledge within any discipline needs is to use more comparative empirical research for seeking more insights and understanding of the social world. Thus, collectively, the authors through this chapter compare two far away cases of displacement but too similar within their lived experience in reality in order to contest some of the mainstream notions within the anthropological library. The main focus is to study the concepts of home and belonging between two post-war displaced cases in Africa, the post-war Acholi of Northern Uganda and the Palestinian refugees of Jaziret Fadel village at Al-Sharqyiah Governorate in Egypt. They have found that when people come across the borders, the act of physical crossing is not as difficult as penetrating the invisible ones. People can acquire visas, escape the authorities at checkpoints, or easily camouflage to be able to go through border points. However, when it comes to crossing the intangible borders, to be able to penetrate the social fabric of the newly settled in community across the border is a laborious exercise.
Reducing Lookism in the Workplace
Authors: Wang Kai , Niu Yuanlu
Published: June 2020

Lookism issues have been studied in the fields of economics, social science, physiology, and business. Studies have shown that physical appearance affects employers' judgment about the quality of an employee. The purpose of this chapter is to explore the effects of lookism on career development in organizations. In addition, this chapter discusses the strategies for reducing lookism in the workplace from a human resource development perspective and provides four strategies for reducing lookism. First, legislation should include and address issues of physical attractiveness. Second, diversity education and training should be provided to students, employees, and employers. Third, diversity management should be practiced in the workplace. Fourth, appropriate employment processes should be adopted. Future research should study lookism over a wider range of occupations across different cultures. In addition, future studies should develop theories and conceptual frameworks to support and explain current issues of lookism in the workplace.

Published: June 2020

This chapter focuses on the persistent lack of diversity in the engineering profession along intersections of race, gender, and other key demographic categories (e.g., sexual orientation, socioeconomic status). After outlining specific circumstances that have influenced the lack of diversity in engineering, the chapter outlines particular challenges related to this lack of diversity and suggests a design thinking approach to resolving those challenges. Drawing on research from engineering education, design thinking, and workplace practice, the authors provide both familiar and novel strategies for addressing diversity in engineering as well as in other professions.
Optimizing for High Resolution ADC Model With Combined Architecture
Authors: Ding Wei , Liu Heng , Wu Tao
Published: June 2020

High resolution analog-digital conversion (ADC) is a key instrument to convert analog signals to digital signals, which is deployed in data acquisition system to match high resolution analog signals from seismometers systems. To achieve high resolution, architecture of Σ-△ oversampling or pipeline ADC architecture have following disadvantages: high power consumption, low linearity of modulators, and complex structure. This work presents a novel model architecture, which design principle is validated by mathematical formulations which combined advantages of both pipeline and Σ-△oversampling ADC architecture. By discussing the adverse effects of the whole ADC architecture with an external noise theoretically, an amended theoretical model is proposed according to the assessment result of a noise simulation algorithm. The simulation results represent that the whole performance of combined architecture is determined by the noise level of integrator and subtractor. Using these two components with a noise index no more than 10-7 V/√Hz, the resolution of the prototype can achieve a reservation of 144.5 dB.
Crowdsourcing-Enabled Crisis Collaborative Decision Making
Authors: Benali Mohammed , Ghomari Abdessamed Réda , Zemmouchi-Ghomari Leila , Lazar Mohammed
Published: June 2020

Crisis events put crisis response organizations in a unique and complex situation that requires critical real-time distributed decision-making so that lives and properties are saved and protected. With the growing development of collaborative technologies, citizen participation to the crisis management process has shifted from the passive one-way contribution of social networking data to a more active participation by performing specific tasks related to crisis data processing. This article presents a comprehensive approach for integrating the crowdsourcing process to the collaborative decisional process in crisis situations. Within the approach three aspects are highlighted: the coordination work that exists between the relevant stakeholders in making collective decisions, the modeling of case dependent activities within the decisional process, and the detailed modeling of decision-related tasks. The authors investigate the applicability of the proposal with a real-world case study of the Desert Locust Plague carried out in the Algerian National Institute of Plant Protection.
An Effective and Computationally Efficient Approach for Anonymizing Large-Scale Physical Activity Data
Authors: Parameshwarappa Pooja , Chen Zhiyuan , Koru Gunes
Published: June 2020

Publishing physical activity data can facilitate reproducible health-care research in several areas such as population health management, behavioral health research, and management of chronic health problems. However, publishing such data also brings high privacy risks related to re-identification which makes anonymization necessary. One of the challenges in anonymizing physical activity data collected periodically is its sequential nature. The existing anonymization techniques work sufficiently for cross-sectional data but have high computational costs when applied directly to sequential data. This article presents an effective anonymization approach, multi-level clustering-based anonymization to anonymize physical activity data. Compared with the conventional methods, the proposed approach improves time complexity by reducing the clustering time drastically. While doing so, it preserves the utility as much as the conventional approaches.
Feature Reduction and Optimization of Malware Detection System Using Ant Colony Optimization and Rough Sets
Authors: Penmatsa Ravi Kiran Varma , Kalidindi Akhila , Mallidi S. Kumar Reddy
Published: June 2020

Malware is a malicious program that can cause a security breach of a system. Malware detection and classification is one of the burning topics of research in information security. Executable files are the major source of input for static malware detection. Machine learning techniques are very efficient in behavioral-based malware detection and need a dataset of malware with different features. In windows, malware can be detected by analyzing the portable executable (PE) files. This work contributes to identifying the minimum feature set for malware detection employing a rough set dependent feature significance combined with Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) as the heuristic-search technique. A malware dataset named claMP with both integrated features and raw features was considered as the benchmark dataset for this work. The analytical results prove that 97.15% and 92.8% data size optimization has been achieved with a minimum loss of accuracy for claMP integrated and raw datasets, respectively.

Authors: Bhat Abdul , Wani Muhammed , Kirmani Altaf
Published: June 2020

Context: The postoperative quality and span of life in posterior fossa tumors (PFTs) is complicated by the residual disease, progression, recurrence, disabilities, and mortality. Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the link between histopathological type of tumor and outcome in an ethnic Himalayan population of India. Settings and Design: The histopathological records of 410 out of 589 patients were compared with their clinical outcome up to the 1st postoperative year in a single center which amounts to regional epidemiological value of PFTs. Materials and Methods: In this observational study, retrospectively postoperative records of 589 PFTs from November 1990 to December 2010 (20 years) were retrieved, scrutinized, and observed. The postoperative records of 410 patients with proved histopathological examination results were included. Statistical Analysis Used: The statistical law of variance was applied wherever necessary. Results: About 63.2% of 410 operated PTFs were males while females predominated in meningiomas and pineoblastomas. About 31.7% of PFTs were children (below 18 years.). About 54.1% of the cases were histologically malignant. The residual tumors comprised 40.2%, and symptoms of disease progression occurred in 10.9%. The tumor recurrence occurred in 14.3% while 6.0% of the patients developed severe disability. The overall mortality was 11.4% up to the 1st postoperative year, with 18.9% in malignant patients. The first 1-year event-free survival (EFS) for all the patients was 66.0%. While the patients with malignancies had the first 1-year EFS of 47.7%, the histologically benign group had 87.7%. Conclusion: The first 1-year postoperative EFS of histologically benign and some malignant PFTs both in children and adults such as pilocytic astrocytomas, ependymomas, and pineoblastomas was much better (87.7%) than other malignant PTFs.
Middle meningeal artery embolization following burr hole in chronic subdural hematoma
Authors: Arham Abrar , Zaragita Nadya
Published: June 2020

Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is a condition in which blood accumulates within the subdural space and may cause neurologic deficits. CSDH patients with neurologic deficits usually will undergo surgery, but reoccurrence is common. Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been proposed as one of the CSDH treatment options, either being used as a single treatment for the neurologically stable patients or certain conditions that may not allow patients to undergo surgery, or as a perioperative treatment. The authors reported a CSDH case with neurologic deficits who was on antiplatelet treatment that underwent both burr hole and MMA embolization for curation and prevention of rebleeding. The result showed near-complete blood resorption and no neurologic deficits.

Published: June 2020

Introduction: The surgical strategies for clipping of paraclinoid aneurysms are diverse. These aneurysms are unique in their location, as they closely abut the anterior clinoid process (ACP) and the optic nerve. The ultimate goal of clipping encompasses the exposure of neck of the aneurysm which is seldom complete without the manipulation of optic nerve and the ACP. This manipulation may result in disturbances of vision postoperatively. We analyze our results of visual outcomes in the surgery for paraclinoid aneurysms in this retrospective study. Materials and Methods: All patients with paraclinoid aneurysms who underwent surgery from June 2014 to June 2019 were included in the study. Surgical procedure was uniform in all patients which included anterior clinoidectomy and clipping of aneurysms as per the Bantane protocol. Glasgow Outcome Scale as well as vision was assessed at discharge and at 1 month and 6 months. Results: There were 77 cases of paraclinoid aneurysms operated during the abovementioned period. All patients had no symptoms related to vision preoperatively. Visual deterioration was noted in two patients. All patients were discharged with a good outcome on the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Conclusion: Paraclinoid aneurysm has a good outcome when treated with surgery. The visual deterioration following surgery can be minimized with extradural anterior clinoidectomy and careful handling of the vessels and nerve.

Authors: Esma Yavuz Kaplanduran
Published: June 2020

In this study, the factors that affect Turkish-Greek relations have at first been studied within a historical continuum. The effect of the refugee incident between two countries and its effect on shaping the relations has been scrutinized in detail and at the same time positive and negative sides of refugee influx that occurred after the wart hat took place in Syria have been evaluated. The second part deals with efforts put in place to prevent illegal immigrations. Upon this issue, the effect of the taking back deal made between Europe Union and Turkey over Turkish and Greek coastal waters andl imits have been evaluated. Within the relevant section arguments from both countries over illegal immigrants have been seperately dealt with. Finally in the third section, soft security problems such as immigration and their effect on establishing bilateral relations have been studied and also the layer of distrust that underlies the discussion and shapes the result and also the security factors have been added to the literature.  Some results have been concluded about adding refugee and illegal immigration issues to the problems that occur around territorial waters and the limits and their effects on bilateral relations. Finally it has been emphasized that relevant immigration incident is being used as a tool of trust or distrust.

El maestro primario se enfrenta en su actuar diario a disímiles situaciones, que requieren para su solución de acciones creativas, en las que deben estar presentes la flexibilidad y originalidad. Diversas son las investigaciones que han incursionado en esta línea temática, sin embargo, la práctica educativa demuestra que la generalidad de los maestros primarios y los escolares no siempre se muestran creativos.

En teoría, este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar cómo, en la sociedad rusa actual, la institución económica del hogar responde a los “desafíos” asociados con la modernización en el sentido más amplio (desarrollo de un mercado administrado, “desenfoque” de la familia, flexibilización de empleo, informatización electrónica, etc.). Si bien, en la teoría económica, desde el siglo XIX, se ha aceptado distinguir a los “hogares” como uno de los tres tipos principales de entidades económicas, los estudios sociológicos de los siglos XX-XXI apuntan a la creciente atomización de los individuos, como la El estado y las empresas parcialmente “interceptan” muchas de las funciones tradicionales de la familia (en particular, el seguro, la distribución de información y la educación de los niños).

La dirección del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en un grupo estudiantil es altamente compleja por sí misma, mucho más si se consideran estas diferencias individuales que en él se presentan, esto constituye uno de los retos fundamentales para todo educador: la relación diversidad-unidad. En particular, la atención a los estudiantes de altas capacidades y talentos en el proceso de escribir constituye una expresión de la necesidad de conjugar la búsqueda de la excelencia con los principios de la equidad. Las necesidades de las personas talentosas para escribir trascienden el ámbito escolar, por lo que el talento requiere imperiosamente un tratamiento educativo diferenciado que responda a los intereses o necesidades educativas de unos y otros atendiendo a sus características como grupo.

Published: June 2020

Este documento arroja luz sobre la importancia del federalismo en la construcción de la nación, analizando en qué medida la Enmienda 18 ha fortalecido a la federación de Pakistán, y de ahí, qué papel ha jugado el federalismo en la construcción de la nación. Para Pakistán, el sistema federal es la penitencia de tales demandas y problemas, mientras que la enmienda 18 ha dado un curso definitivo que conduce a la construcción de la nación al avanzar ciertas medidas, que de adoptarse, pueden obtener resultados alentadores; es difícil ignorar la importancia de las instituciones políticas. La gobernanza inclusiva y descentralizada permitiría a la federación de Pakistán desempeñar su papel en la construcción de la nación a través de intereses e identidades complacientes.

Authors: Kamila Aliyeva  , Rashid Jabbarov.
Published: June 2020

El artículo se refiere a aspectos como la adaptación social y psicológica y las características de resistencia al estrés de las personas desplazados internas, que viven en Bakú y sus distritos circundantes. Esos aspectos se ven ampliamente afectados por las características psicológicas individuales de los desplazados, las diferencias sexuales, la frustración a largo plazo, el número de niños en la familia y los conflictos en la familia. La migración, siendo coercitiva, es un factor que dificulta la adaptación. Aunque no se han encontrado indicadores considerados importantes sobre la exposición de los desplazados en ese contexton al estrés de los impactos locales; por el contrario, las violaciones de naturaleza postraumática son altas, lo que reduce las indicaciones de resistencia al estrés y adaptación.
Aprehender valores morales en la educación formal y no formal. Análisis según la ética de Max Scheler y Nicolai Hartmann.
Authors: Felipe Nicolás Mujica Johnson  , Nelly Del Carmen Orellana Arduiz.
Published: June 2020

A pesar de la importancia de la formación moral de las personas, suele ser una materia profundizada poco desde la perspectiva filosófica en el ámbito pedagógico. No obstante, suele ser regularmente mencionada para justificar acciones pedagógicas. En ese contexto, es que se ha considerado oportuno analizar la aprehensión de valores morales desde una perspectiva objetiva, y en concreto, de la que fundamentan dos importantes filósofos alemanes contemporáneos. A partir de este análisis, se explicará cómo los valores que existen independientes de la consciencia, se relacionan esencialmente con las disposiciones de ánimo y con la voluntad de cada persona. Relación que determinará la posibilidad o la impotencia de cada sujeto para apropiarse de los valores morales positivos.
