Authors: Bello van der Ree María Eugenia , Morales Lozano Juan Antonio
Published: November 2019

El objetivo del presente trabajo es describir el perfil de competencias claves que requiere el estudiante universitario de la carrera de Pedagogía para el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación, en la ciudad de Caracas, Venezuela. La metodología consiste en un estudio de campo, descriptivo, ex post facto, transversal. Se presenta un listado de 54 competencias a estudiar, para lo cual se logró la participación de veintinueve docentes, treinta empleadores y trescientos ochenta y cinco estudiantes durante un período de nueve meses en seis universidades. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizó un enfoque mixto, en parte cuantitativo y en parte cualitativo, es decir estadística descriptiva, frecuencia y porcentaje para las preguntas cerradas, y para las preguntas de carácter abierto se llevó a cabo un análisis de contenido de acuerdo a su relación con el marco teórico, con el objeto de describir las competencias de los estudiantes para el uso de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. Los resultados generales señalan que las tres muestras consideran en su mayoría las competencias como muy importantes, encontrando algunas diferencias en cuanto al desarrollo de las mismas. El estudio de correlaciones entre las poblaciones refleja que hay similitudes en cuanto a la tendencia como perciben las competencias, pero sin ninguna correlación entre las poblaciones. Por lo que se considera que los resultados son coherentes en el sentido de que todos dicen exactamente lo mismo. Finalmente, se presenta propuesta de perfil de competencias claves que requiere el estudiante de la carrera de Pedagogía para el manejo de las TIC, el cual podría ser considerado en futuros diseños de planes de estudio y programas de formación de docentes.

One major aspect of the aging process is the onset of chronic, low-grade inflammation that is highly associated with age-related diseases. The molecular mechanisms that regulate these processes have not been fully elucidated. We have identified a spontaneous mutant mouse line, small with kinky tail (skt), that exhibits accelerated aging and age-related disease phenotypes including increased inflammation in the brain and retina, enhanced age-dependent retinal abnormalities including photoreceptor cell degeneration, neurodegeneration in the hippocampus, and reduced lifespan. By positional cloning, we identified a deletion in chondroitin sulfate synthase 1 (Chsy1) that is responsible for these phenotypes in skt mice. CHSY1 is a member of the chondroitin N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase family that plays critical roles in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is attached to the core protein to form the chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG). Consistent with this function, the Chsy1 mutation dramatically decreases chondroitin sulfate GAGs in the retina and hippocampus. In addition, macrophage and neutrophil populations appear significantly altered in the bone marrow and spleen of skt mice, suggesting an important role for CHSY1 in the functioning of these immune cell types. Thus, our study reveals a previously unidentified impact of CHSY1 in the retina and hippocampus. Specifically, chondroitin sulfate (CS) modification of proteins by CHSY1 appears critical for proper regulation of immune cells of the myeloid lineage and for maintaining the integrity of neuronal tissues, since a defect in this gene results in increased inflammation and abnormal phenotypes associated with age-related diseases.

INVESTIGATION OF AN ARTISTIC IMAGE OF A LITERARY WORK (DONNA TARTT’S NOVEL “A SECRET HISTORY”)
Authors: Muntian Antonina
Published: November 2019

The aim of the article is to research the artistic image of a literary work. In modern linguistics, interest to the study of artistic image is traditionally considered to be one of the conceptual. Modern psycholinguistics and literary studies direct their scientific potential into the realm of individualism and anthropocentrism, thus contributing to further “decoding” of the phenomenon of artistic image. It is the artistic image; its essence that reflects the forms of perception of reality by the author and its specific refraction. Artistic image has a variety of functions – not only purely aesthetic, but also value-semantic, communicative, psycho-emotional, educational, etc. It is also the symbolic aspect of the content of the artistic image that has various forms of manifestation at all levels of its structure: from the level of elementary sign and artistic reception to the level of archetypal, deep meaning of the work as a complex and holistic artistic world. Thus, the process of creating an artistic image is an act of individual dexterity, the desire to embody the aesthetic ideal, “to decode” the universal secrets of the artistic culture of mankind. The artistic image is a connecting link between the real world and its representation, the living “cell.” Artistic image is the projection of the inner world of the author, the realization of the creative “I-concept”, a personalized dimension of being. The basic structure of an artwork can be represented by a scheme: an expressive element – an artistic element – an image. Obviously, the hierarchical structure of the work does not end with this, because the work does not consist directly of images – the latter also forms certain structures and integrity within the scope of the work. Traditionally, such integrity is achieved with the help of the concepts of the plot and composition.
REPRESENTATIONS OF SOCIO-CULTURAL STEREOTYPE “BACHELOR” IN MURIEL SPARK’S NOVEL “THE BACHELORS”
Authors: Teterina Liliya
Published: November 2019

The main objective of this study is to examine representations of socio-cultural stereotype “bachelor” in Muriel Spark’s novel “The Bachelors” in   the context of the national British picture of the world. Fiction text is understood here as a translator of both author’s worldview and language on the basis of which the reader can form an opinion or make a judgement about mental, behavioral, language stereotypes dominant in this or that national culture. Our main focus is on how the bachelors of the novel represent themselves in their dialogues and inner speech. Though they are fictional portrayals, the bachelor-personages of Spark’s novel correspond to stereotypes in real life. Bachelors of the novel and real life bachelors share the overriding public sentiment towards them – disapproval. They often carry with them negative overtones of immaturity, selfishness, lechery and irresponsibility. The analysis has revealed that the bachelors of the novel show some common features, but also manifest a variety of complex individual personalities. A detailed representation of bachelors’ social and psychological types with their basic characteristics, modes of behavior, habits makes the novel a live portrait gallery of British stereotype of bachelorhood.
BISMILLAH, SAYA MENIKAH Studi Kasus Pembentukan Keluarga pada Pasangan Mahasiswa

Published: November 2019

Every human being has a requirement to overcome loneliness. In accordance with the theory of early adult development, one of the ways to against it is to build a family. But, couples who did it while just a college student has a complex challenge, especially if deciding taaruf because of religious rules that prohibit relationships before marriage. The aim of this research is to understand the psychological dynamics of college students in building a family through the taaruf process.This research uses the qualitative method with a case study approach. Researchers involve two subjects of college students who have been married. Data collection was done by interview, observation, and focus group discussion. Couples who build a family by taaruf process, through four stages, there are understanding relations concept, introductions, taaruf, and marriage. They made the interaction in line with Islamic rules that do not allow courtship. The introduction made only a remote view. During the process of taaruf, there is no direct communication to avoid romantic shade. The wedding process becomes an important epiphany in life. Marriage is perceived as a social support that positively affects academic responsibility. Taaruf may be an alternative choice to avoid relationship which is not appropriate with religious rules. College students who decide to build a family, especially through the taaruf process, need to ensure their readiness in academic responsibility.
‘What are you doing here, I thought you had a kid now?’ The stigmatisation of working mothers in academia
Authors: Gonçalves Kellie
Published: November 2019

The last decade has seen an increase of scholarly work within the social sciences critiquing neoliberal processes of our academic institutions. Much of this work has focused on metrics, paradoxes and politics. Few studies centre on the effects of these processes for women only and where they do exist, they are primarily located within the fields of critical geography, sociology and feminist studies. In this paper, I argue that as scholars of language, we are lagging behind and it is high time to address the demands of our taxing institutions and international workplaces with regard to the implications and consequences they have for women and, more specifically, early-career female researchers who would like to combine motherhood with an academic career. I argue that we need to be seriously attuned to the effects and ramifications of motherhood and academia with the aim of correcting existing gendered biases, which requires an investment on the part of all stakeholders if change is to take place. As such, this work has personal, political and epistemological motivations and implications. By focusing primarily on women and my own personal experiences through autoethnography, this essay is concerned with knowledge production that deviates from masculine and heteronormative accounts within the academy. In these ways, this article contributes to recent work in the social sciences that has been influenced by the ‘emotional turn’ in order to ‘find ways to exist in a world that is diminishing’.

An analysis of user-interface creation complexity using a model-driven design approach
Authors: Sánchez Torres Germán , Ceballos Yonny Fernando , Mercado Victor Hugo
Published: November 2019

Model-Driven Development (MDD) is a software development approach that facilitates problem comprehension. MDD is carried out based on level of abstraction attained by working with models. When using models to create user-interfaces, development time can be reduced significantly. However, automatic user-interface generation is done with preestablished templates that might not fulfill all the requirements clients. These templates might also be too general and sometimes provide few customization options. In this paper, we review research on the usage of MDD for user-interface development. We also study how automatic user-interface generation can result in limitations as the need might arise for repeatedly modifying model and code.
The content of proinflammatory cytokines in blood serum in rats with alkali burns esophagus under the treatment with Phaseolus vulgaris extract
Authors: Raietska Ya.
Published: November 2019

The frequency of damage due to poisoning with chemicals is increasing. Chemical burns are the most common pathology of the esophagus in children. As a result of penetration of alkalis and contact with the wall of the esophagus, along with necrosis, damage to the mucous membrane, submucosal and muscular membrane of the esophagus occurs. Despite a large number of drugs that have been tested in the treatment of complications caused by esophageal burns, there is little information that would indicate the high effectiveness of the previously used drugs. When treating chemical burns of the esophagus there are many complications. Full restoration of the functional status of immunity is an important step in the complex therapy of treatment of chemical burns of the esophagus. The analysis of literature data shows the positive influence of polyphenols of natural origin on the normalization of physiological and biochemical parameters in various pathologies. The extract of common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris pods extract (PVPE)) is an example of a rich bioactive component of the source with beneficial characteristics for humans. Therefore, the purpose of our work was to investigate the level of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) in blood serum of rats in the simulation of alkaline esophageal burns of 2 degrees at 7th,15th, 21st and 31st days and for the introduction of Phaseolus Vulgaris pod extract. During our study, it was found that during alkali burns esophagus second degree, marked and prolonged increase in marker proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-6, which could cause the formation of granulated tissue, resulting in the
formation of scars, violation of reparative regeneration and delayed healing of burn wounds. The content of proinflammatory cytokines in a
group of animals with treatment is lower compared with the group with burns without treatment during the experiment time, which may indicate
the expressed therapeutic effect of the extract of beans pods in alkaline burns of the esophagus.
Repatriating the Past: Removing the Border through Transnational History
Authors: Hundley James M.
Published: November 2019

In 2006, Washington's Nooksack Tribe and British Columbia's Stó:lō Nation collaborated to repatriate to Canada a United States-held stone figure. The figure's homecoming was heralded on both sides of the border after being missing for more than a century. This article investigates one process through which this collaboration occurred, namely, the reframing of the cultural and political geography of the region. By reframing their history as transnational, the Coast Salish are erasing the international border and challenging the settler colonial state(s) and the primacy of the nation-state system. This reframing-as-transnational approach has numerous implications for the Coast Salish as they overcome their divided status under two separate legal and political regimes. Additionally, changing our frame of reference away from the nation-state advances Coast Salish studies and anthropology itself, as we too have been divided by political borders in our research with First Nations.
POTENTIAL UNIFICATION IN THE FIELD OF CROSS-BORDER CONTRACTUAL RELATIONS IN THE BRICS COUNTRIES
Authors: Alimova Ya. O.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the peculiarities of regulation of cross-border contractual relations that are being developed within the BRICS countries in compliance with universal international treaties. The author has outlined the prospects and problems with which traders from BRICS countries are facing when concluding contracts. International treaties, which contain, above all, uniform substantive rules, play a great role in concluding cross-border contracts. However, all the BRICS countries are member-states to very few treaties. The author of the article has revealed that such conventions still exist, although not only in the contractual field. The article pays special attention to the peculiarities of application of the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of 1958, the Cape Town Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment of 2001 and, indeed, the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods of 1980 (although only three BRICS countries are involved, it can also be applied to India and South Africa).
SOME ASPECTS OF PROTECTION OF RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS OF THE STATE DEFENSE ORDER WHEN CHALLENGING BIDDING RESULTS
Authors: Slepak V. Yu.
Published: November 2019

The article deals with some features of the systems of revision of decisions made in the compliance with the results of procurement procedures in the EU Member States in the light of the requirements of EU law. In particular, the author investigates the EU law requirements applied to bodies reviewing decisions in the context of the need to determine the balance between the principle of procedural autonomy of the European Union member States (Article 4 of the Treaty on European Union) and the principles of efficiency and equivalence (derived from jurisprudence interpreting Article 19 of the Treaty on European Union). Also, the paper analyzes the problems arising while determining the applicant’s locus standi, since an excessively narrow interpretation of the notion “interest in obtaining a relevant contract” may serve as an unreasonable restriction for the access to the procedures of reviewing and, more generally, access to justice. The author explores the issues of applying such grounds in order to exclude the procurement participant from the number of bidders on the ground of “commission of a significant violation of the rules of professional activity” in the understanding of EU restrictive measures applied to managers of the procurement participant. There may be situations when the actions of the sole executive body result in the application of restrictive measures and that may be considered as evidence of the commission of a fundamental violation of rules of professional activity; the article considers standings that both confirm this thesis and indicate an excessively broad interpretation of this rule. On the one hand, the European Court of Justice has affirmed that organs of governance, especially the sole executive bodies, have a decisive influence and effective control over business activity to such an extent that their actions can be regarded as actions of the company also with regard to issues of liability. On the other hand, restrictive measures themselves do not, by their nature, constitute a measure of liability. However, the question of whether national authorities have the right to reassess the conclusions of the EU Council with regard to challenging the bidding results remains open.
RUSSIAN FEDERATION PUBLIC POLICY INTERESTS AND INTERNATIONAL ADOPTION
Authors: Shulakov A. A.
Published: November 2019

The article is devoted to the protection of the Russian Federation public policy interests in the field of intercountry adoption. It is established that strengthening of such protection entails changes in the legislation. Such changes are connected either with the super-mandatory character of already existing statutory mandatory substantive rules or with the emergence of new super-mandatory rules. In the field of intercountry adoption in Russia, this process is particularly striking. The study highlights that the general equation contained in Art. 1192 “Rules of direct application” of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation establishes two ways that allow by analogy to determine the super-mandatory nature of certain mandatory substantive rules stated in the Family Code of the Russian Federation: “by reference in the mandatory rules themselves” (the over-mandatory character of the rule is expressly determined by the legislator) or “because of their particular importance also for the protection of rights and legally protected interests” (the over-mandatory character of the rule is determined by the executor of law). It is concluded that the emergence of constitutionally significant values/public interests in the content of the mandatory substantive rule (“protection of morals, health, rights and legitimate interests of other family members and other citizens”, etc.) forms a criterion that allows the executor of the law to determine such rules as rules of over-mandatory character. Based on the analysis of international treaties of the Russian Federation on interstate cooperation in the field of adoption of children, the article defines the fundamental principles that make up the structure of intercountry adoption in the Russian Federation. It is established that the additional conditions and requirements of the state of child’s origin are included in the regulation of intercountry adoption (provisions of articles 165, 124-133 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation; provisions of bilateral treaties between Russia and European countries where more than 85% of Russian children are adopted (France, Italy, Spain)) to protect the interests of the RF public policy.
GROUNDS FOR ESTABLISHING INTERNATIONAL JUDICIAL JURISDICTION IN RELATION TO CROSS-BORDER CONSUMER DISPUTES IN DIGITAL ERA
Authors: Terentyeva L. V.
Published: November 2019

The paper examines the issues of establishing international judicial jurisdiction in relation to crossborder consumer disputes in the digital environment. To this end, the author makes a comparative analysis of the grounds for establishing judicial jurisdiction in the form of "distribution of advertising in the information and telecommunication network "Internet", aimed at attracting the attention of consumers" enshrined in art. 402 part 3 para. 2 of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, and the criterion of "directed activity of the professional party to the territory of the country of residence of the consumer", provided for in EU law.The paper provides proposals for the interpretation of the grounds of jurisdiction of the Russian court, i.e. "advertising in the information and telecommunications network "Internet", aimed at attracting the attention of consumers in the territory of the Russian Federation", which should determine the use of protective judicial mechanisms in relation to the consumer from the use of an adverse judicial jurisdiction of a state, and against the employer, with the reasonable possibility of foreseeing the establishment of judicial jurisdiction of the consumer.

Published: November 2019

Los Objetos Virtuales de Aprendizaje han generado cambios positivos en la enseñanza, disponibilidad y accesibilidad al conocimiento; a diferencia del modelo tradicional de aprendizaje, tienen como propósito ofrecer mecanismos más flexibles y de múltiple consulta para consolidar un contenido más amplio del conocimiento. El hemograma es un examen de laboratorio de uso diario en medicina; su interpretación exige un entendimiento preciso y sólido para la toma de decisiones. Este artículo describe la experiencia y las fases para construir un objeto virtual de aprendizaje en hematología, basado en el modelo ADDIE (Análisis, Diseño, Desarrollo, Implementación y Evaluación). Crear un objeto virtual de aprendizaje exige el cumplimiento metódico de procesos para garantizar que el resultado se ajuste a los requerimientos de las herramientas de aprendizaje. Mejorar el entendimiento del hemograma es importante en la formación y fomento de competencias para la toma de decisiones asertivas y la racionalidad en la solicitud de estudios diagnósticos; no obstante, para probar la efectividad del OVA como estrategia de aprendizaje se requiere de una prueba piloto.

Mejoramiento de un programa informático para la selección de nuevas tecnologías de control de arena de tipo mecánico en campos operados por Ecopetrol S.A.
Authors: Beltrán Ladino Gustavo Adolfo , Carvajal Hernández Juan Sebastián
Published: November 2019

En los campos petrolíferos de Colombia ocurre que, debido al arenamiento, se presenta corrosión, erosión y taponamiento de equipos y tuberías de superficie y de subsuelo, incrementando así la frecuencia de trabajos de intervención a los pozos productores de hidrocarburos. Dado lo anterior, surgió la necesidad de mejorar el módulo de control de arena, compuesto por dos herramientas del Manual General de Completamiento de Pozos ya existente (MGCP) para recomendar cuatro nuevas tecnologías de control de arena para su uso en yacimientos que presenten areniscas altamente no uniformes y rangos de tamaño de grano fino. Las mejoras introducidas a dicho módulo permitieron que dentro de la primera herramienta (matriz teórica para los campos de estudio) se recomendaran estas cuatro nuevas tecnologías para su uso en 22 de los 24 campos estudiados por autores previos, pertenecientes a cinco cuencas de Colombia. Así mismo, la segunda herramienta también fue actualizada mediante la introducción de las cuatro nuevas tecnologías mecánicas, además de incluirse un segundo parámetro de selección (tamaño de grano promedio) para recomendar el uso de tecnologías mecánicas nuevas o convencionales de control de arena con base en el último parámetro ya mencionado y en el ya existente coeficiente de uniformidad.

Published: November 2019

Purpose: The article substantiates the necessity to include the concept of identity, in general, and professional identity, in particular, as an indispensable element of virtually every major scientific linguistic investigation, and provides the rationale behind current investigation by justifying the research subject from psychological, sociological, and applied-linguistic perspectives. Methodology: In order to meet the stated objectives of the research, the following methods of analysis have been chosen: continuous sampling method along with corpus data collection (in order to facilitate further data analysis and reduce measurement errors to a minimum); discourse analysis (to single out and scrutinise encountered discursive markers along with their functioning in the chosen discursive space); functional analysis (to figure out the functional diapason of the analysed discourse); statistical data analysis (to assess collected, explored and presented amount of data in order to discover the underlying trends and patterns). Result: All the discursive markers collaborate with one another, forming a strong synergistic effect in terms of both the functional scope of language units and the functional scope of professional identity formation. In conclusion, the combined functional diapason of those discursive markers in popular science IT discourses significantly contributes to the overall partial construction of non-specialist’s professional identity. Applications: This research can be used for universities, teachers, and students. Novelty/Originality: In this research, the model of Forming professional identity in popular science IT discourse is presented in a comprehensive and complete manner.
Situación de la Sífilis gestacional y congénita en Colombia, un desafío al Sistema general de Seguridad Social en Salud
Authors: Cruz-Aconcha Adriana Raquel
Published: November 2019

La sífilis es una infección de transmisión sexual (ITS) ocasionada por el Treponema pallidum, y es considerada como un problema grave de salud pública al afectar a más de 12 millones de personas en el mundo. Se estima que más de dos millones de mujeres embarazadas se infectan con sífilis cada año en el mundo, y un número significativo de casos (692.100 a 1,53 millones) no reciben tratamiento (1). Cuando ocurre en la mujer embarazada fácilmente se transmite al feto ocasionando hasta en un 81% de los casos complicaciones que incluyen muerte fetal o neonatal temprana, prematurez, bajo peso o infección congénita (2).En Colombia, la sífilis congénita y gestacional es de notificación obligatoria, y las cifras reportadas por el Sistema de Vigilancia en Salud Pública (sivigila) son unas de las más altas en Latinoamérica y el Caribe. En el 2011 Colombia reportó 2,9 casos de sífilis congénita/1000 nacidos vivos (3), un valor que es casi seis veces mayor a la meta estipulada por la Organización Panamericana de Salud (OPS) en su Plan de Eliminación de Sífilis Congénita (2, 4). El litoral pacífico colombiano aporta al país un número significativo de casos cada año, siendo el puerto de Buenaventura, en el Valle del Cauca, una de las zonas más afectadas, con un reporte en el 2010 de 141 casos de sífilis congénita de los cuales nueve terminaron en desenlace fatal (5).

Medellín, noviembre 30 de 2012 Señor editor:Doctor Hernando Gaitán, MD, MScRespetado doctor GaitánRecientemente fue publicado en la Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología un interesante artículo firmado por los profesores Luisa Calderón-Mendoza, Carlos Vivas-Ramírez y Lina De los Reyes, titulado “Evaluación de las técnicas de capacitación espermática y su efecto en la fragmentación del ADN” (1), en el cual se pretendía evaluar la fragmentación del ADN espermático después de un proceso de selección espermática. Los investigadores demuestran que tanto los espermatozoides recuperados mediante swim-up como por gradiente presentan menos fragmentación del ADN que los espermatozoides sin separar. Resultado muy valioso para la biología reproductiva y en concordancia con los resultados previos publicados por nuestro grupo, en los cuales espermatozoides de individuos fértiles e infértiles fueron separados mediante la técnica de migración/sedimentación, y se evaluó el estado del ADN mediante microscopía de fluorescencia (2) y citometría de flujo (3, 4) usando naranja de acridina.

Ibagué, diciembre 21 de 2012Señor editorDoctor Hernando Gaitán, MD, MScRespetado doctor GaitánAnte todo quisiera agradecerle al PhD Walter Cardona por el interés dado a la investigación y al artículo publicado, ya que con este tipo de ejercicios podemos aclarar conceptos, ofrecer mayor información y avanzar en el conocimiento de este campo de la ciencia.Teniendo en cuenta la opinión del PhD Cardona, quisiera aclarar que la capacitación espermática es un proceso en donde los espermatozoides sufren cambios moleculares que les permiten alcanzar el ovocito y posteriormente fertilizarlo (1), y que los mecanismos involucrados han sido estudiados basándose en ensayos in vitro específicamente (2), por tanto, es un proceso que puede ser simulado in vitro (3) utilizando técnicas como swim up y gradientes de densidad, así como también, medios de cultivo específicos que promuevan este proceso (4).Las dos técnicas utilizadas en la investigación tienen como función la separación de espermatozoides móviles así como su capacitación. Asimismo, se ha comprobado que el lavado y la posterior recuperación de espermatozoides están relacionados con la capacitación de los gametos masculinos (5), lo que puede significar que de manera in vitro se da la capacitación de los espermatozoides por swim up y gradientes de densidad. Es así como estas dos técnicas se aplican en laboratorios de Andrología y Embriología para tratamientos como inseminación intrauterina, FIV e ICSI (6).

Complicaciones mayores, definidas como aquellas que afectan un órgano vital, que generaran transfusiones o que derivan en reintervenciones.2. Complicaciones menores, aquellas que no cumplen los requisitos anteriores.3. Complicaciones intraoperatorias: las que se presentan directamente durante el momento del acto quirúrgico.4. Complicaciones posoperatorias: aquellas que se presentan desde el momento en que el paciente es llevado a recuperación y de ahí en adelante.El número de complicaciones totales debe, por ende, ser la suma de las complicaciones mayores más las complicaciones menores si se está hablando de esa clasificación, o el resultado del total de complicaciones intraoperatorias más las posoperatorias si se decide usar la otra (2).Hemos leído con suma atención y muchísimo agrado el artículo: “Complicaciones en 748 histerectomías por laparoscopia utilizando un manipulador uterino con resaltador vaginal”, escrito por el doctor Ramiro Argüello Argüello y publicado en el número 3 del volumen 63 de la Revista Colombiana de Obstetricia y Ginecología.En dicho artículo, el doctor Argüello construye y presenta en la tabla 3 una comparación de las complicaciones en histerectomía laparoscópica tomando datos de varias series, entre ellas la nuestra, publicada en el número 4 del volumen 60 de la misma revista en el año 2009.
DA HISTÓRIA DE UMA CULTURA A UMA PRÁTICA DE PESQUISA: NOTAS SOBRE CINEFILIA E EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Almansa Sandra Espinosa
Published: November 2019

Em diálogo com os estudos éticos de Michel Foucault, este texto trata de problematizar, sob uma dada conjuntura, a experimentação cinematográfica em relação a uma atividade a qual, para além do exercício cinéfilo de tomada de atitude com o cinema por si só, possa ser pensada como impulsionadora de um exercício do sujeito para consigo mesmo. A diagonal traçada da cinefilia nessa direção é tensionada por meio dos últimos estudos de Foucault especialmente na órbita das relações entre sujeito, verdade e práticas de si: de onde se recolhe elementos para discutir, diante do gesto e da composição de práticas concretas e da experiência narrada por “amantes do cinema” (dentre os quais figuram homens e mulheres de diferentes idades e formação variada) sobre as possibilidades de constituição ética e estética, então ocasionadas. Palavras-chave: Cinefilia.

Authors: De Souza Débora Aparecida
Published: November 2019

RESUMO

 

A partir da preocupação com a crise ambiental, a educação passou a ser vista como uma possibilidade de enfrentá-la. Nesse sentido, articulamos discussões entre ambas, com a Literatura Infantil como possibilidade a esse enfrentamento. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo identificar e analisar o conteúdo axiológico relativo à natureza e à relação sociedade-natureza presentes em livros de Literatura Infantil. O corpus documental deste trabalho foi selecionado dos “Acervos Complementares: alfabetização e letramento nas diferentes áreas do conhecimento”, 2013/2015. Seu desenvolvimento se deu sob uma abordagem qualitativa do tipo pesquisa documental.  Nesta análise, uma obra nos chama a atenção, devido ao fato de o valor estético identificado desencadear o valor ético, implicando em uma concepção que se afasta do utilitarismo, pois diante de nossas preocupações com as questões de ordem ambiental, estamos buscando contribuições no sentido de melhoria nos padrões de relação da sociedade-natureza.
Interdisciplinaridade, Materialismo Histórico-Dialético e Paradigma da Complexidade: Articulações em Torno da Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental Crítica
Authors: Costa Cesar Augusto , Loureiro Carlos Frederico
Published: November 2019

O objetivo do nosso ensaio é abordar as implicações epistêmicas e políticas da interdisciplinaridade, a partir do materialismo histórico-dialético e suas relações com o paradigma complexo, na Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental (EA) crítica. Inicialmente buscaremos problematizar a interdisciplinaridade na EA em suas múltiplas dimensões para a compreensão da questão ambiental. Em seguida, analisaremos o problema do conhecimento no que tange a compreensão holística e do materialismo histórico-dialético para a questão ambiental e que encontra na teoria da complexidade e no enfoque marxista um esforço de articulação para a interdisciplinaridade. Ao final da argumentação, pontuaremos as implicações epistemológicas e políticas da relação entre interdisciplinaridade, materialismo histórico-dialético e paradigma complexo, visando o enfrentamento das relações destrutivas da natureza e do ser humano historicamente estabelecidas no capitalismo. Reiteramos que a interdisciplinaridade, entendida como pressuposto da pesquisa em EA em uma perspectiva crítica, não pode ser adotada em seu sentido lógico-formal ou ideal, fora de metodologias que busquem apreender o movimento histórico e as múltiplas determinações que constituem a realidade. Compreendemos que teoria da complexidade, interdisciplinaridade e a dialética marxista se aproximam e contribuem nos projetos de transformação societária, quer redefinindo paradigmas, modos de pensar e atuar, individual ou coletivamente.

As influências ambientais sobre a saúde são inequívocas, no entanto decorrem de ações que podem ser mediadas. O trabalho objetiva analisar como profissionais da saúde têm utilizado a educação ambiental como objeto de trabalho para a saúde ambiental. Utilizou-se como metodologia um estudo documental, desenvolvido por meio da análise de relatos de experiência de práticas de educação ambiental disponíveis na Comunidade de Práticas da Atenção Básica, Ministério da Saúde e Governo Federal. Essas comunidades concentram a descrição de experiências profissionais práticas. Em relação à abrangência territorial, o Nordeste e o Sudeste são as regiões que mais desenvolvem ações educativas e a maior parte dos trabalhos concentra-se em Saúde Ambiental/Vigilância Ambiental (71,79%). O espaço de escolha para o desenvolvimento das ações é prioritariamente em Comunidade/Município, seguida da escola, os quais representam mais de 90% do total e os públicos mais envolvidos são a População de um bairro/cidade e estudantes. O tema mais utilizado como mobilizador das ações educativas em educação ambiental é a dengue (69,24%) e as técnicas educativas mais utilizadas nas atividades são curso/palestras, de caráter tradicional. A educação ambiental precisa ser desenvolvida permanentemente com uso de estratégias que proporcionem reflexão crítica, a fim de alcançar os objetivos de formação cidadã e protetiva do ambiente e da saúde.Palavras-chave: Técnicas educativas. Educação ambiental. Saúde Ambiental.
Skutki prawnopodatkowe wystąpienia wspólnika ze spółki osobowej niebędącej podatnikiem podatku dochodowego
Authors: Justyńska Anna
Published: November 2019

Instytucja wystąpienia wspólnika ze spółki osobowej transparentnej na cele podatku dochodowego wywołuje szereg konsekwencji na gruncie prawa podatkowego, w szczególności na gruncie podatków dochodowych, a niekiedy również na gruncie podatku od towarów i usług. Skutki te różnicowane są w zależności od tego, czy wynagrodzenie występującego wspólnika wypłacane jest w pieniądzu czy też przyjmuje postać niepieniężną. Zgoła inne konsekwencje wiążą się również z przypadkiem odstąpienia od wypłacenia występującemu wspólnikowi wynagrodzenia. Przy tym kompleksowa analiza omawianej instytucji wymaga również ustalenia skutków podatkowych, jakie powstają po stronie pozostających w spółce wspólników. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie skutków podatkowych omawianej regulacji, z uwzględnieniem orzecznictwa sądów administracyjnych oraz interpretacji indywidualnych wydawanych przez organy podatkowe.

The objective of the current study was to evaluate effect of terracing on soil chemical and biological properties in the Rwanda highlands. The study was done in March 2017. Composite soil samples were collected from the top, middle and bottom slopes of four-year-terraced and non-terraced lands, in three profile depths, in medium and high altitudes. Results showed that, levels of organic carbon (1.3, 1.04%) were significantly (p less than 0.05) higher in non-terraced than terraced land, and populations of bacteria (3.59, 2.61 CFU*106g-1) and fungi (2.51, 1.57 CFU*104g-1) were significantly higher in terraced than non-terraced land, in the medium altitude, with no significant differences observed in the high altitude. Soil pH, total N, available P, CEC, exchangeable K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+ levels in terraced and non-terraced lands were not significantly different in both altitudes. Thus, soil characteristics and fertility of the study areas showed slight changes after four years of terracing.
Environment-Pathogen Interaction in Plant Diseases

nvironment is an important aspect of plant ecology and global environmental change is of major concern that is caused by natural and human activities which alter greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere. The increase in concentration of greenhouse gases is foreseen to continue to raise average global temperature. Elevated concentration of carbon dioxide with increased temperature influences the plant-disease interactions. The environment has an influence over the development as well as temporal and spatial dissemination of plant diseases. The result of change in environment can either be favorable, non favorable or impartial, as these changes can either lessen, expand or have no influence on diseases as each disease may be attributed differently to these variations in accordance to an area or time of year. Variation in environmental conditions is said to be influencing plants in natural ecosystems all around the world and change in climate directly impacts crops, along with their synergy in accordance with the microbial population. The important elements governing magnification and spread of plant diseases are temperature, moisture, light and carbon dioxide concentration. Environment change causes a significant impact on germination, reproduction, sporulation, spore dispersal, along with perforation by pathogens as a vulnerable host will not be invaded by a pernicious pathogen if the environmental conditions are not facilitative for disease. The environment influences all life stages of host as well as that of a pathogen and as a result induces an opposition to various pathosystems. Resistance mechanisms of plants, including effector-triggered immunity (ETI), pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and defence network of hormones, are particularly influenced by environmental elements. Pathogenic virulence mechanisms like fabrication of virulence proteins and toxins, and also spore germination and survival are governed by factors such as atmospheric carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity. A large number of in-vitro experiments to understand interactions between plants and pathogens rely on predetermined pathosystems by making use of ascertained environmental conditions which take into consideration relatively small part of vital plant–pathogen–environment interactions occurring in natural ecosystem. Thus, there is a need to research effectiveness of disease management strategies that is, to assess current management strategies to understand multifaceted nature of environment-pathogen interactions for production of crops that are irrepressible to environment change.

Amplang is typical food most known to the public in Indonesia and is a snack with low protein and high fat content. The research was aimed to determine the effect of fortified rebon shrimp Mysis relicta protein concentrate on amplang processing. The parameters included organoleptic test, proximate analysis (moisture, protein, fat, ash contents) and amino acid profile of the best treatment. From the results, the organoleptic acceptability of amplang processing revealed that 10% fortification of M. relicta protein concentrate (K2 sample) in amplang processing was strongly like. The characteristics of the preferred amplang were brownish appearance: brownish (3.59), typical marine product odor (3.45), delicious flavor (3.43), and crunchy texture (2.96). Furthermore, proximate values were moisture (3.60%), protein (11.12%), fat (3.85%), ash (2.00%), and it had 9 essential amino acids and 8 non-essential amino acid dominated by glutamate acid (4.09%).
