Published: March 2023

A koronavírus-betegség megjelenése óta világszerte nyomon követik a fertőzésekhez
kapcsolódó közvetlen halálozást, és naponta számolják a vírus okozta halálesetek
számát. A koronavírus okozta világjárvány nemcsak mindennapi életünket, de a
teljes egészségügyi rendszer működését átrendezte. A kórházi felvételre való
fokozott igény kapcsán a különböző országok vezetői számos, az egészségügyi
ellátást befolyásoló rendkívüli intézkedést vezettek be. Az átrendeződés mind
direkt, mind indirekt módon negatív hatással volt a hirtelen szívhalál
epidemiológiai mutatóira, a laikus elsősegélynyújtók cardiopulmonalis
resuscitatióra való hajlandóságára és a félautomata defibrillátor használatára,
ezek a negatív hatások azonban széles határok között mozognak a különböző
kontinenseken és országokban. A laikusok és az egészségügyi dolgozók védelme,
illetve a pandémia terjedésének megakadályozása érdekében a korábbi alapszintű
és emelt szintű újraélesztésre vonatkozó, az Európai Újraélesztési Tanács által
megfogalmazott ajánlások számos változtatáson estek át. Orv Hetil. 2023;

Kórházon belüli keringésmegállás és alapszintű újraélesztés
Authors: Kiss Domonkos , Fritúz Gábor , Kovács Enikő , Diószeghy Csaba
Published: March 2023

A kórházon belüli keringésmegállás túlélési esélye még mindig csak 15–34% körüli.
A kórházi személyzet elengedhetetlen feladata, hogy a betegek vitális
paramétereinek monitorozásával a beteg állapotának romló trendjét észleljék, és
megfelelő beavatkozásokkal a keringésmegállást megelőzzék. A betegek állapotának
rosszabbodására utaló jelek, tünetek (például légzésszám, pulzusszám, vérnyomás,
oxigénszaturáció, tudat stb. változása) összegzéséből képzett pontrendszereknek
és azok protokollokban megfogalmazott változatának használata segíthet abban,
hogy a „periarrest” állapotú betegek időben felismerhetők legyenek. Ha azonban a
keringésmegállás mégis bekövetkezik, a kórházon belüli reanimáció szabályait
követve, csapatmunkában dolgozva az ellátószemélyzetnek képesnek kell lennie a
jó minőségű mellkasi kompressziók és a korai defibrillálás biztosítására. Ehhez
rendszeres képzésre, megfelelő infrastruktúrára, valamint rendszerszintű
csapatmunkára van szükség. A jelen összefoglaló röviden bemutatja a kórházi
újraélesztés kezdeti szakaszának kihívásait és annak integrálását a kórházon
belüli sürgősségi ellátás komplex rendszerébe. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(12):

Published: March 2023

Mind az alap-, mind az emelt szintű újraélesztés során találkozhatunk olyan
helyzetekkel, amelyek nehezítik a standard újraélesztési algoritmus menetét. Az
Európai Újraélesztési Tanács az elmúlt évtizedben egyre részletesebb ajánlásokat
fogalmazott meg ezen szituációk diagnosztikájával és terápiájával kapcsolatban.
Összefoglaló közleményünkben részletezzük azokat a legfontosabb irányelveket,
amelyek e speciális körülmények ellátására vonatkoznak. Ezen helyzetek
megoldásában kiemelten fontos az ellátók megfelelő képzettsége a nem technikai
készségek és a helyes csapatmunka terén. Az egyes speciális újraélesztési
körülmények megoldásában egyre nagyobb szerepet kapnak az extracorporalis
keringés- és légzéstámogató eszközök, melyek körültekintően, megfelelő
betegszelekció és időzítés mellett használhatók. Mindezek mellett
közleményünkben részletezzük a keringésmegállás legfontosabb reverzibilis okaira
vonatkozó ellátási lépéseket, valamint kitérünk arra, hogy bizonyos speciális
helyszíneken (például újraélesztés általános és szívműtőben, katéterlaborban,
dialízisállomáson, fogorvosi rendelőben), illetve bizonyos különleges
betegcsoportokban (asztmás vagy COPD-s beteg, elhízott beteg, neurológiai kórkép
miatt újraélesztett beteg, várandós nő) milyen diagnosztikus és terápiás
lépésekkel szükséges kiegészíteni az újraélesztési és postresuscitatiós
betegellátást. Orv Hetil. 2023; 164(13): 488–498.
Urinary incontinence assessment and management after stroke: An exploratory qualitative study of physiotherapists’ perceptions of their practice in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Downes Tessa , Martin Rachelle , Hay-Smith Jean , Aldabe Daniela
Published: March 2023

Urinary incontinence post-stroke is associated with poor rehabilitation outcomes. Current stroke guidelines recommend that physiotherapists are involved in addressing urinary incontinence problems post-stroke to improve rehabilitation outcomes; however, physiotherapists’ perceptions of their role are not known. This study explored how New Zealand physiotherapists perceive their current role in urinary incontinence assessment and management post-stroke, along with exploring what limits or facilitates this role. Using an exploratory qualitative methodology, eight physiotherapists from across New Zealand were interviewed. Data were analysed using a qualitative descriptive approach presented in four main themes: (a) physiotherapists’ view of their scope of practice, (b) resources and training of physiotherapists, (c) lack of collaboration between professions, and (d) physiotherapists’ view of urinary incontinence assessment and management experienced by patients. The physiotherapists’ practice focuses primarily on functional mobility, balance, and upper limb function to achieve patient goals. Therefore, the physiotherapists perceived their stroke assessment and management had positive, indirect benefits for those who found it difficult to toilet independently post-stroke. The physiotherapists considered that a lack of time and formal training, and uncertainty about their role in urinary incontinence rehabilitation, limited their involvement in the urinary incontinence rehabilitation area. The physiotherapists viewed nurses as the lead profession for continence. However, they believed better collaborative practice within the healthcare team would improve the delivery of continence services.
Patient acceptance of knee symptoms and function after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction improves with physiotherapy treatment
Authors: Fausett Wayne , Reid Duncan , Larmer Peter , Garrett Nick
Published: March 2023

Physiotherapy is considered an important component of rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The relationship between physiotherapy treatment and patient-reported outcomes following ACLR in New Zealand (NZ) is not clear. We used repeated measures logistic regression to examine the relationship between patient-reported outcome data from the NZ ACL Registry and physiotherapy treatment data from the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC). Outcome measures utilised were the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) on the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis and Outcome Score (KOOS4) and a normative score on the Marx Activity Rating Scale (MARS) within 24 months of ACLR. Data from 5,345 individuals were included in the final analysis, with a mean (SD) of 11.7 (10.5) (range 0–91) physiotherapy treatments received, over an average (SD) of 185 (153) (range 0–725) days, in the two years following ACLR. Physiotherapy treatment post-ACLR increased the likelihood of achieving a KOOS4 PASS score at 6 and 12 months, but not at 24 months, following surgery. Physiotherapy did not increase the likelihood of achieving a normative MARS score in the 24 months after ACLR. Multiple factors likely contribute to people who have had an ACLR in NZ receiving a low dosage of physiotherapy treatment following surgery. Physiotherapy treatment after ACLR may increase patient acceptance of any post-surgical symptoms and functional limitations, but the effect on post-operative activity levels is less clear.
Feasibility of ballistic strength training to improve mobility of inpatients with traumatic brain injury: A study protocol
Authors: Gilfillan Izel , Mothabeng Diphale , Van Heerden Annelie
Published: March 2023

Traumatic brain injury is a major cause of mortality and long-term disability, often resulting in limited mobility. Limited mobility is associated with poor community participation and reduced health-related quality of life. Mobility, particularly walking, requires rapid force generation, which can be improved using ballistic strength training. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of ballistic strength training for improving mobility in people recovering from traumatic brain injury in an inpatient rehabilitation setting. The feasibility study will use a quasi-experimental single group pre-test–post-test design. We will recruit inpatients with first-ever, moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury, less than 6 months post-injury. We plan to measure recruitment capability, attendance, the incidence of adverse events, acceptability of the intervention, and ability to perform exercises. Preliminary effects of the intervention will be measured as a change in self-selected walking speed, change in walking capacity, and participant perceived difference in walking ability. The data will be descriptively analysed. In this study protocol, we outline the rationale for implementing a feasibility study to test the feasibility of ballistic strength training for inpatients who have experienced traumatic brain injuries.

Published: March 2023

Studies indicate gaps in knowledge about the barriers to access and adhere to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in adolescents. In this article, we explore the perceptions and experiences of young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (YGBMSM) of the search, use and adherence to PrEP, considering their positions according to social markers of difference such as race/skin color, gender, sexuality, and social status. Intersectionality provides theoretical and methodological tools to interpret how the interlinking of these social markers of difference constitutes barriers and facilitators in the PrEP care continuum. The analyzed material is part of the PrEP1519 study and is comprised of 35 semi-structured interviews with YGBMSM from two Brazilian capitals (Salvador and São Paulo). The analyses suggest connections between social markers of difference, sexual cultures, and the social meanings of PrEP. Subjective, relational and symbolic aspects permeate the awareness of PrEP in the range of prevention tools. Willingness to use and adhere to PrEP is part of a learning process, production of meaning, and negotiation in the face of getting HIV and other sexually transmittable infections and the possibilities of pleasure. Thus, accessing and using PrEP makes several adolescents more informed about their vulnerabilities, leading to more informed decision-making. Interlinking the PrEP continuum of care among YGBMSM with the intersections of the social markers of difference may provide a conceptual framework to problematize the conditions and effects of implementing this prevention strategy, which could bring advantages to HIV prevention programs.
Between risk and pleasure: reflections on HIV prevention and care in the current context of PrEP use by men who have sex with men

Published: March 2023

This study offers a set of reflections on the relationship between risk and pleasure in the field of HIV prevention and care, as it mediates new biomedical prevention/care technologies, particularly pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), among men who have sex with men (MSM). We begin by investigating some studies about condomless sex between men, more specifically barebacking and PrEP use among young MSM. We base our analysis on the assumption that PrEP, as one of these new actants, has reconfigured the field of HIV prevention/care, especially in relation to the dimensions of risk and pleasure, with the potential to considerably reduce the chances of HIV infection while enabling maximum pleasure and a sense of greater safety and freedom. Despite this progress, we also problematize some of the ambivalences, tensions, and moral conflicts that still exist in the field of prevention, especially the potential for condomless sex. Finally, taking a praxiographic perspective on health care and foregrounding the situated practices of human and non-human actors/actants in interaction, we consider HIV/AIDS prevention as a more fluid, non-linear, erratic phenomenon that involves multiple types of knowledge, feelings, and participations, and is open to different kinds of experimentation. Besides a “logic of choice”, we hold that health care is a permeable, continuous process that is enacted in situated practices and may produce different effects in response to a heterogeneous network of interactions.

Published: March 2023

RESUMO Este artigo tem como objetivo desenvolver uma discussão de caráter teórico-filosófico relacionada ao campo da alfabetização, com desdobramentos de ordem metodológica para o trabalho escolar em torno da oralidade, na forma de diretrizes. Para tanto, expõe-se, a partir da fundamentação materialista, histórica e dialética, a relação entre trabalho e linguagem, tomados à luz dos conceitos de objetivação e apropriação, sendo, para isso, retomada a indissociabilidade entre teoria e prática também no trabalho pedagógico. Na defesa, em nome de um projeto formativo humanizador, de que cabe à escola o reconhecimento das necessidades do sujeito histórico/concreto, as quais podem não corresponder às necessidades imediatas do sujeito empírico, são apontadas as fragilidades das pedagogias hegemônicas, ao mesmo tempo em que se discute que o planejamento pedagógico compromissado com o desenvolvimento da oralidade deve centralizar os gêneros do discurso secundários, constituindo-se a produção textual na esfera escolar a partir da vinculação entre as modalidades escrita e oral da linguagem.
Challenges to agile software project management practices in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Santos Renata Bittencourt Mendonça dos , Figueiredo Paulo Soares , Marques Felipe Tumenas
Published: March 2023

Abstract: The Agile approach is focused on individuals and customer satisfaction, based on the dynamic and streamlined work of a team that is capable of adapting, and adapting the project to changing scenarios and demands. However, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Agile teams accustomed to in-person communication have encountered the challenges of working from home. The main objective of this research is to analyze the challenges generated by the pandemic context, and the consequent social distance, for the development of software projects that use Agile approaches within a large state-owned company and identify the effect it had on the course and results of the projects. The research was qualitative in nature and had two exploratory diagnostic stages. The findings indicate that there were no negative impacts of relevance on project deliveries. On the one hand, results indicated losses in socialization, in spontaneous exchanges of knowledge, and in interaction among teams, as well as a demand for greater engagement of professionals. Additionally, limitations were revealed for more complex discussions and knowledge management. The study highlights solutions that were found and/or suggested for many challenges, contributing to the literature on best practices for the Agile approach, and is focused on the unprecedented context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our findings can contribute to other companies with a similar profile that work with Agile projects, besides contributing to building a dialogue between the academic and business environments.

Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to assess the effects of three methods of adhesive remnant removal (carbide bur and low speed handpiece, carbide bur and high speed handpiece, and zircon-rich glass fiber reinforced composite bur), after orthodontic bracket debonding, on tooth color and enamel surface roughness. Methods: Ninety sound premolar teeth were selected. The baseline tooth color was assessed using Vita spectrophotometer. The teeth were subjected to bracket bonding processes and then randomly divided into three equal groups. In each group, composite remnant was removed by one of the three methods of adhesive removal, and the teeth were then subjected to color assessment again. To measure the surface roughness, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with x400 magnification was used. Results: ANOVA showed that the effect of the three methods of adhesive remnant removal on ∆L, ∆b and ∆E was statistically significant (p=0.01), but without significant effect on ∆a. Comparison of the means showed that composite bur and high speed carbide bur yielded the highest ∆E (p=0.05), and had a significant difference when compared to carbide bur and low speed handpiece. The highest ∆L and ∆b values belonged to samples approached with composite bur and carbide bur with high speed handpiece, respectively. SEM analysis showed that the composite bur created a very smooth surface, compared to the other two methods. Conclusion: Zircon-rich glass fiber reinforced composite created the smoothest enamel surface and highest color change, when compared to the other two methods.

Published: March 2023

Abstract Physaloptera Rudolphi, 1819 is a genus of nematodes that includes approximately 100 species parasitic in vertebrates around the world. From these, approximately 30 occur in the Neotropical region, with nine reported from neotropical reptiles. Physaloptera spp. are recognized by their distinct morphology of the apical end and characters of the reproductive system. However, despite the fact that the morphological characters for species diagnosis have been firmly established, we frequently find identification problems regarding poorly detailed descriptions and poorly preserved specimens. These may lead to taxonomic incongruencies. Physaloptera retusa (Rudolphi, 1819) is the most common species of the genus and has been reported from several species of neotropical reptiles. Based on our reexaminations of nematode specimens identified as P. retusa from different museum collections, we provide a detailed redescription including the type material, voucher specimens and new specimens recovered currently and showed in this study with new morphological data obtained using light and scanning electron microscopy tools.
MINIMIZATION OF ANNUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION BY INCORPORATING PHASE CHANGE MATERIALS INTO BUILDING COMPONENTS: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW
Authors: Saliby Ammar , Kovács Béla
Published: March 2023

Building envelopes are essential for supplying buildings with appropriate energy and thermal comfort performance. Recent research on novel strategies and methodologies applies improved solutions in this area. With a specific focus on phase transition materials, the primary methods used in this area are examined to find contemporary and efficient procedures. Due to phase change materials' (PCMs') enhanced capacity to store and release heat during phase transition, this technology is expanding rapidly and is utilized in various building components. This study emphasizes the value of PCMs in building envelope systems, particularly on the roof and exterior wall applications. In what follows an overview and discussion of PCM types, general and desirable qualities, and potential uses is presented. The thermal behavior of PCM is described using incorporation techniques and procedures, influential parameters, basic numerical tools, and modeling equations. A thorough review based on current research has been carried out to highlight the potential of PCM with the best approaches in various places. In addition to various research pauses for future investigations, the primary findings of PCM thermal performance have been discussed, taking into account the decreased cooling/heating load, energy savings, and increased thermal comfort.
DISCREPANCY MODELING FOR MODEL CALIBRATION WITH MULTIVARIATE OUTPUT
Authors: White Andrew , Mahadevan Sankaran
Published: March 2023

This paper explores the application of the Kennedy and O'Hagan (KOH) Bayesian framework to the calibration of physics models with multivariate outputs by formulating the problem in a dimension-reduced subspace. The approach in the KOH framework is to calibrate the physics model parameters simultaneously to the parameters of an additive discrepancy (model error) function. It is a known issue that such discrepancy functions may result in non-identifiability between the model parameters and discrepancy function parameters. Three main approaches to avoid this problem have been considered in the literature: (i) careful definition of the parameter priors based on extensive knowledge of the problem physics, (ii) separating the calibration process into more than a single step (referred to as a modular or sequential solution), or (iii) choosing functions that are less flexible than a Gaussian process (GP). By transformation of the problem into a dimension-reduced principal components (PC) space [using PC analysis (PCA)], we explore a fourth approach to this problem. Advantages are dimension reduction of the calibration problem due to fewer outputs, simplified discrepancy functions and priors, and feasibility for the simultaneous solution approach. The additive discrepancy method is limited in the case of future predictions with the model; thus, we instead suggest how the results may be used for model diagnostic purposes. The methods are demonstrated on a simple numerical example and gas turbine engine heat transfer model.
Investigation on the long-term strain of geogrid in GRPS embankment under cyclic loading
Authors: Liu K.-F. , Xue K.-R. , Wen M.-J. , Wang L.
Published: March 2023

Geogrid is a horizontal reinforcement material that is used in geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported (GRPS) embankments in freeways with soft soil. Nevertheless, the long-term deformation mechanics of geogrid in the GRPS embankment under cyclic loading is not clear enough. This paper presents a laboratory model study of a GRPS embankment to study the long-term geogrid strain under cyclic loading. The effects of parameters such as number of load cycles, load frequency, geogrid layer numbers, and length of supporting piles on the long-term strain of geogrid were investigated. The results showed that geogrid strain increased with the number of load cycles, mainly developed in the first 10 000 load cycles and increased slowly in the later period. When the frequency was increased from 1 to 5 Hz, geogrid strain increased dramatically. When compared with the condition of a single geogrid layer, the upper layer of two geogrid layers caused a less geogrid strain. Compared with long piles and short piles GRPS embankments, a sufficient membrane effect of geogrid was found for long-short piles GRPS embankments. Finally, the 95% prediction interval proposed in this paper could be expressed using a logarithmic function, providing a theoretical foundation for future engineering applications.

Authors: BAYIR Ece
Published: March 2023

Hydrogels are frequently used in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and environmental remediation. Alginate and gelatin, which are frequently used natural polymers to form hydrogels, were chosen in this study to form a core-shell structured hydrogel. Cryogels and aerogels were obtained by drying hydrogels with different methods, freeze-drying, and the continuous flow of supercritical CO2, respectively. The potential use of hydrogels, aerogels, and cryogels as a tissue scaffold was evaluated comparatively. Characterizations of materials were determined morphologically by scanning electron microscope and computed-micro tomography, chemically by energy dispersive spectroscopy, and mechanically by the dynamic mechanical analyzer. In addition, the cytotoxic effect of all structures was analyzed by the WST-1 method and the localization of the cells in these structures was determined by microscopic methods. All scaffolds show non-cytotoxic effects. Cryogels have the highest porosity (85.21 %) and mean pore size values (62.3±26.8 µm). Additionally, cryogels show high water retention capacity (782±53.5%) than aerogels (389±2.5%) for 24 h. The elastic modulus values were

Published: March 2023

This paper characterizes the perceptual structure of vowel systems in five regional accents of English, from Australia (A), New Zealand (Z), London (L), Yorkshire (Y), and Newcastle upon Tyne (N), on the basis of “whole system” vowel categorization experiments. We established patterns of within-accent vowel confusions, and then explored cross-accent perception, assessing how listeners from one accent background categorize vowels from another. Our experimental task required mapping continuous phonetic dimensions to perceptual categories in the absence of phonotactic and lexical cues to vowel identity and socio-indexical information about the talker. Our results show that, without these sources of information, there is uncertainty in vowel categorization, even for native accent vowels, and that this degree of uncertainty increases for unfamiliar accents. The patterns of cross-accent perception largely reflect the accent-specific perceptual structure of the listener, as opposed to adaptations to the stimulus accents. This finding contrasts with the type of active talker adaptation found with tasks offering lexical information about vowel identity and indexical information about the talker.

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ekonomisinde 1980-2017 döneminde ekonomik büyüme, küreselleşme ve çevresel bozulmaları kapsamlı bir şekilde gösteren ekolojik ayak izi verileri kullanılarak ampirik bir uygulama yapılmıştır. Değişkenlerin birim kök düzeyi ADF birim kök testiyle incelenmiştir. Değişkenler arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisini incelemek için ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı ve katsayı tahmincilerinden Fully Modified OLS (FMOLS) ve Canonical Cointegrating Regression (CCR) yöntemlerinden faydalanılmıştır. ARDL sınır testinin kısa ve uzun dönem sonuçlarına göre ekonomik büyümedeki artışlar çevresel bozulmalara sebep olurken; küreselleşmede meydana gelen artışlar çevresel bozulmaları azaltmaktadır. FMOLS yöntemi sonucuna göre; kişi başına düşen milli gelirde meydana gelen %1’lik artış ekolojik ayak izini %0.83 artırırken; küreselleşmedeki %1’lik artış ekolojik ayak izini %0.55 azaltmaktadır. CCR yöntemi sonucuna göre ise; kişi başına düşen milli gelirde meydana gelen %1’lik artış ekolojik ayak izini %0.80 artırırken; küreselleşmede meydana gelen %1’lik artış ekolojik ayak izini %0.43 azaltmaktadır. ARDL, FMOLS ve CCR yöntemlerinin bulguları benzer sonuçlar vermiştir. Ayrıca Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi hipotezinin kısa ve uzun dönemde geçerli olduğu bulgusu elde edilmiştir.

The aim of this study is to examine the associations of perceived parenting, self-construal and psychological flourishing within a cross-cultural perspective. Instruments tapping into four types of perceived parenting style (psychological control, behavioural control, autonomous support, and responsiveness), positive and negative affect, relational self and flourishing were administered to a sample of 579 university students from France (n = 325) and Turkey (n = 324). Latent profile analysis (LPA) and ANOVA tests were performed. The results showed that French university students presented lower levels of positive affect, negative affect and psychological flourishing compared to Turkish university students. Differences were found between these two groups in terms of psychological and behavioural control, and their respective consequences on self-construal and psychological flourishing. Turkish parents present higher levels of psychological and behavioural control in their relationships with their children compared to French counterparts.

Published: March 2023

During the transition to a highly volatile cycle of industrial development in Russia the issues of value orientations and real behavior models of the employees become especially important due to the need in further growth of labour productivity. Values, regarded as global mental attitudes, in many ways, determine the employees’ involvement and participation in the activities of the enterprise. Transformation of employees’ system of values, their increasing involvement into the company’s activities and the consequent growth of labour productivity are the basis for the growing product marginality. Within the practical and methodological study in hand the authors define the main stages of the values’ transformation and the basic components of each stage on the example of a machine-building plant. Transformation of the system of values was based on the approaches of a Japanese a practical scientist Shigeo Shingo called the Shingo values pyramid. His methodology has been adapted in the practical study on the real ground of the Russian industrial enterprise PJSC “Cryogenmash” which possesses its own deep scientific roots and academic peculiarity. The authors study the findings and adduce methodological artefacts obtained while creating the model of values and the new behavior model of an employee of an industrial enterprise. The authors suggested using the methodological approach developed within the study to create a book of values of an industrial enterprise. This approach will make it possible to increase the employees’ labour productivity by changing the model of their behavour in work situations.

Changing geopolitical environment in the world determines the chief priority of existence and development of the state, which is maintenance of the national sovereignty based on economic, technological and financial autonomy and independence. The basis of economic security of the country is the manufacturing sector. The study is devoted to identifying the ability of manufacturing sector of those industrial regions of Russia where manufacturing industry occupies a significant share of economics to maintain stability in conditions of external pressure since 2008 on the example of crises of various nature. The basic methods applied in the study are the indicative and comparative methods and the correlation analysis method. The authors present the analysis of the dynamics of the main indicators of development of the manufacturing sector of industrial regions of Russia, their investment and innovation activity in the industry and territorial perspective and the dependence of the regions’ development on foreign trade. It is pointed out that industrial regions are still of great significance in the development of manufacturing sector of the Russian Federation but their share in Russia is declining in such key indicators as gross regional product, volume of goods shipped, number of employees, etc. The authors conclude that in the majority of industrial regions high investment activity in manufacturing sector has greatly provided for sufficient resilience level which ensured rapid restoration of production volumes after 2008 crisis and smooth adaptation to the growing sanctions pressure that started in 2014. At the same time in nine of the 23 industrial regions under study, manufacturing sector was able to cope with the short-term shock of 2008 but prolonged impact of external factors that started in 2014 resulted in a slowdown in the trajectory of development. However, there is a risk of growing systematic character of the crisis in these regions, and it requires changing the approaches to the existing industrial policy and conducting additional analysis and assessment of the efficiency of the government support measures for manufacturing sector in order to develop the most effective industrial policy for every separate region. The results of the study can be useful for regional and federal authorities implementing economic and industrial policy.

Technological characteristics and the scale of terrestrial broadcasting determine the status of FSUE “Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network” as a systemforming enterprise regarding terrestrial broadcasting of the all-Russian mandatory public TV and radio channels. In order to implement the import substitution program it is advisable to perform a digital transformation of the company, which can be successful if the strategy chosen has goals and objectives structured and synchronized in time and resources with the potential capabilities of the management object. The author uses Professor V.L. Kvint’s methodology of strategizing to formulate conceptual propositions of the strategy of digital transformation of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network. The area and subject of strategizing are the existing in the internal and external environment key processes of the enterprise whose degree of digitalization is vital for the success of the project implementation. The author formalized the basic indicators that characterize the solution of the task of creating a highly effective system of management of a television and radio broadcasting network, which provided the opportunity to specify priority directions (programs) of digital transformation. It is pointed out that the basis of the correct movement on the trajectory from Industry 3.0+ to the state of Industry 4.0 is ensured by a properly prepared strategy in which the priorities contain a system of objectives for their implementation.
Florícolas: ¿motores de la expansión urbana? El caso de Cayambe, Ecuador
Authors: Calero Diana
Published: March 2023

La dinámica derivada del agronegocio de flores de exportación, en reemplazo de numerosas haciendas ganaderas de Cayambe, devino en el incremento de residentes en la ciudad homónima y la expansión de su periferia. El propósito de este trabajo consistió en analizar los cambios ocurridos en la ciudad de Cayambe y su entorno rural inmediato, a partir de la implantación del cultivo; junto con una aproximación a las percepciones de quienes los experimentaron, entre 1990 y 2010. La estrategia metodológica combinó métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos: análisis espacial, estadística descriptiva, análisis documental y procesamiento de entrevistas. Para 2010 las florícolas ocuparon cinco veces más superficie que en 1993, lo mismo que los poblados no consolidados; mientras que la población total se duplicó entre 1990 y 2010. La floricultura concurrió en los cambios de la ciudad, y en el proceso emerge una paradoja entre demanda de vivienda y sobreoferta de suelo urbanizable.

Valorización de innovaciones en alimentos con identidad territorial
Authors: Cendón Maria Laura , Bruno Mariana Paola
Published: March 2023

La implementación de herramientas de valorización de alimentos con identidad territorial tales como las denominaciones de origen protegidas poseen múltiples efectos territoriales, destacándose los procesos de gobernanza territorial, mejoras en la calidad así como innovaciones tecnológicas, organizacionales y en el cuidado del ambiente. En tal sentido, este trabajo tiene como objetivo contribuir con una propuesta metodológica para identificar y valorizar los procesos de innovación que se generan a partir de la implementación de una Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) de aceite de oliva en Andalucía, España. Para responder el objetivo, se construye un indicador sintético de innovación y de prácticas ambientales, a partir de información recabada vía encuestas  realizadas en las fábricas de aceite de oliva y entrevistas a actores claves.  Los resultados muestran que las fábricas que poseen DOP alcanzan valores medios superiores en los indicadores de innovación y una mayor homogeneidad, principalmente en el proceso de elaboración de aceite y, en menor medida, en aspectos referidos a innovaciones organizativas-comerciales y diferenciación del producto. No obstante, en cuanto a las prácticas ambientales, si bien las almazaras que poseen DOP registran valores superiores, no existen diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre éstas y aquéllas que no cuentan con el signo de calidad.
