Se ha reforzado notablemente los comités Editorial, Científico Nacional y Científico Internacional. El presente número ha sido, a su vez, organizado en torno a propuestas temáticas contenidas en secciones, lo que constituye un reto interesante al brindarle una presentación más académica y que ayuda al investigador a ubicar sus campos de interés.
Regeneración urbana, turismo y barrios del Centro Histórico del Cusco, Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad. Análisis comparativo 1983-2005
Authors: Quispe Gonzáles Evaristo
Published: December 2018

El patrimonio cultural constituye un espectro clave en cualquier sociedad. En este contexto, las comunidades que habitan centros históricos pueden considerarse verdaderamente privilegiadas, pues la adecuada gestión de dicho patrimonio podría devenir en el incremento de su calidad de vida. Esta investigación exploratoria formula un análisis de distintas experiencias de regeneración urbana que tuvieron lugar entre 1983 y 2005 en cuatro barrios históricos del centro histórico del Cusco (Santa Ana, San Cristóbal, San Blas y San Pedro), particularmente en las áreas inscritas en la Lista del Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, a las cuales se ha dado una orientación turística. Dicho estudio permitirá contribuir a la consolidación de una mirada panorámica que sirva de balance y permita sistematizar las ‘lecciones aprendidas’.Cabe mencionar que los barrios San Blas (Tocokachi), San Cristóbal (Qolcampata) y Santa Ana (Karmenka) tienen origen inca, mientras que el barrio San Pedro tiene origen colonial: su nacimiento respondió a la iniciativa de construir un hospital para los nativos.
Trabajos de protección en los sitios arqueológicos considerados dentro de las acciones de prevención por el fenómeno El Niño 2015 en la Región Lambayeque
Authors: Coahila Osorio Alberto
Published: December 2018

La región Lambayeque posee un rico legado cultural, cuyas evidencias, accesibles mediante investigaciones arqueológicas, colaboran con la construcción de nuestra identidad y a la generación de conocimiento. Por lo tanto, es importante proteger esta evidencia arqueológica y asegurar su perdurabilidad para el disfrute de futuras generaciones. El Gobierno central, a través del Ministerio de Cultura, emprendió un programa de protección del patrimonio arqueológico en la costa norte del país con la finalidad de mitigar el impacto de las lluvias del fenómeno de El Niño (ENSO – El Niño Southern Oscillation). Estas actividades en la región Lambayeque fueron canalizadas a través de la Unidad Ejecutora 005 Naylamp entre finales de 2014 e inicios de 2016, y abarcaron 28 de los sitios arqueológicos más vulnerables. Las acciones de conservación ejecutadas permitieron preparar a las áreas de intervención y dejarlas en las mejores condiciones posibles para poder enfrentar los embates de la naturaleza con mayor éxito. El siguiente artículo da a conocer sobre la territorialidad del patrimonio arqueológico en la región Lambayeque, según el diagnóstico físico espacial elaborado en el año 2015 como parte del Plan Maestro para el Mejor Manejo del Patrimonio Arqueológico de la Región Lambayeque.

En recuerdos de adobe. Evaluación y puesta en valor de las casas patrimonio de adobe en Masaya, Nicaragua
Authors: Balmaceda Putoy Nohemí
Published: December 2018

Este artículo trata de la importancia de las casas patrimonio, principalmente la casa de Ana María Vega donde habita la familia Fariñas, y propone que los elementos esenciales no son solo la fachada y el entorno. Una vivienda va más allá de su ubicación, su entorno, su estética, y su forma, incluso si el entorno está en revolución, como lo expone Kevin Lynch, quien afirma que el entorno influye en la asimilación o el rechazo de un edificio. Asimismo, cualquier tipo de intervención debe estar pensada desde el usuario, pero no el que circula por la calle y entra en contacto solo visualmente con el lugar, sino con el que convive con esas paredes, el que desarrolla sus historias y sus vivencias tras el adobe. Esto se debe a que este artículo se enfoca en el interior; lo que toma en cuenta que no podemos saber a dónde vamos si no sabemos de dónde venimos.

The artificial colorants have gradually been being replaced by natural pigments which are becoming increasingly important in Vietnam and other parts of the world due to the potential noxiousness of man-made food dyes to human health. This research covers colorant plants and sources used commonly in the food culture of ethnic communities in Vietnam with the current trend toward natural pigments and coloring foods. As a result, we reported 49 species which can be used as natural food pigments and of these, 7 colorant plants used mostly in Vietnam traditional food culture were detailed.
Correlation of Altmetric Attention Scores with Citations in Major Pharmacy Journals (Preprint)
Authors: Dixon Dave L , Baker William L
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

The impact and quality of a faculty members publications is a key factor in promotion and tenure decisions and career advancement. Traditional measures, including citation counts and journal impact factor, have notable limitations. Since 2010, alternative metrics have been proposed as another means of assessing the impact and quality of scholarly work. The Altmetric Attention Score is an objective score frequently used to determine the immediate reach of a published work across the web, including news outlets, blogs, social media, and more. Several studies evaluating the correlation between the Altmetric Attention Score and number of citations have found mixed results and may be discipline-specific.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the correlation between higher Altmetric Attention Scores and citation count for journal articles published in major pharmacy journals.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study evaluated articles from major pharmacy journals ranked in the top 10% according to the Altmetric Attention Score. Sources of attention that determined the Altmetric Attention Score were obtained, as well each articles open access status, article type, study design, and topic. Correlation between journal characteristics, including the Altmetric Attention Score and number of citations, was assessed using the Spearman’s correlation test. A Kruskal-Wallis 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the Altmetric Attention Scores between journals.

RESULTS

Six major pharmacy journals were identified. A total of 1,376 articles were published in 2017 and 137 of these represented the top 10% with the highest Altmetric Attention Scores. The median Altmetric Attention Score was 19 (IQR 15-28). Twitter and Mendeley were the most common sources of attention. Over half (56.2%) of the articles were original investigations and 49.8% were either cross-sectional, qualitative, or cohort studies. No significant correlation was found between the Altmetric Attention Score and citation count (rs=0.07, P = 0.485). Mendeley was the only attention source that correlated with the number of citations (rs=0.486, P<0.001). The median Altmetric Attention Score varied widely between each journal (P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The overall median Altmetric Attention score of 19 suggests articles published in major pharmacy journals are near the top 5% of all scientific output. However, we found no correlation between the Altmetric Attention Score and number of citations for articles published in major pharmacy journals in the year 2017.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND

Aphasia is the loss or impairment of language functions and affects every day social life. The disorder leads to the inability to understand and be understood in both written and verbal communication and affects the linguistic modalities of auditory comprehension, verbal expression, reading, and writing. Due to heterogeneity of the impairment, the training must be adapted individually and dynamically to the patient needs. An important factor for a successful aphasia therapy is dose frequency. Computer-based applications allow patients to train independently with high intensity at home. But most of the newest tele-rehabilitation applications focus on one linguistic modality, whereas there is currently a lack of validated tele-rehabilitation systems that focus on multimodal linguistic modalities.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this project was to develop a multimodal system that enables aphasic patients to train at home using language-related tasks autonomously and also allows therapists to remotely assign new tasks and track the patient’s progress as well as to create new individual exercises.

METHODS

The system consists of two main parts. First, the patient’s interface, which allows the patient to exercise. Second, the therapist’s interface, which allows the therapist to allocate new exercises to the patient and supervise the progress of the patient. The system has been evaluated by therapists and patients by validated questionnaires in terms of usability and motivation.

RESULTS

A total of 11 speech and language therapists (age, MD = 28, SD =7) and 15 patients (age, MD = 53, SD =10) with diagnosed aphasia participated in this study. Patients rated the Bern Aphasia App in terms of usability (scale zero to hundred) as excellent (score above 70, 95% CI 85.9 to 100.0, t (14) = 2.16, P = .024) and therapists as good (score above 85, 95% CI 70.5 to 100.0, t (10) = 2.21, P = .026). Furthermore, patients highly enjoyed (scale zero to six) solving the exercises (score above 3, 95% CI 3.1 to 6.0, t (4) = 2.58, P = .031).

CONCLUSIONS

Based on the questionnaire scores, the developed system is well accepted and simple to use by patients and therapists. Furthermore, the new system allows patients with different types of aphasia to train with a high intensity independently at home. Thus, the novel system has potential for treatment of aphasic patients as a supplement to face-to-face therapy.
Dynamic Analysis of Fiscal Policy in the United Kingdom
Authors: Adrangi Bahram , Macri Joseph , Raffiee Kambiz
Published: December 2018

This paper studies the effects of fiscal stimuli on the real GDP of the United Kingdom for the period of 1997 through the first quarter of 2017. Structural vector autoregressive and vector error correction models are estimated. Impulse responses from both models provide support for the Keynesian view that fiscal stimuli are associated with rises in the real GDP. Variance decomposition analysis shows that over time, depending which model is considered; tax cuts impart a positive effect on the real GDP in the range of 5 to 20 percent. Government expenditure shocks account for 8 to 15 percent of variations in the real GDP based on the two models. The multipliers of tax cuts and government expenditures initially rise reaching a peak in the ninth quarter and decline to 1.60 and 1.74 in three years, respectively.
Developmental Stages and the CEFR Levels in Foreign Language Learners’ Speaking and Writing
Authors: Yamaguchi Yumiko
Published: December 2018

This paper aims to investigate foreign language learners’ speaking and writing based on a second language acquisition (SLA) theory and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR; Council of Europe, 2001). While the CEFR has been widely used as a reference instrument in foreign language education, there has been insufficient empirical research undertaken on the CEFR levels (e.g., Hulstijin, 2007; Wisniewski, 2017). Also, few studies have examined how the CEFR levels relate to the developmental stages predicted in SLA theories. In this study, spoken and written narratives performed by 60 Japanese learners of English are examined based on one of the major SLA theories, namely Processability Theory (PT; Pienemann, 1998, 2005; Bettoni & Di Biase, 2015), as well as on the CEFR. Results show that the Japanese L1 learners acquire English syntax as predicted in PT in both speaking and writing. In addition, there seems to be a linear correlation between the CEFR levels and PT stages. However, it is also found that the learners at the highest PT stage are not necessarily at a higher CEFR level.
TEN-YEAR STATIN ADHERENCE IN SURVIVORS OF ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION: INSIGHTS FROM THE AMI-QUEBEC STUDY

Published: December 2018

Background

Adherence to statins is often sub-optimal and declines over time. Direct costs incurred by patients are often cited as responsible for inadequate statin adherence. To determine whether patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who benefit from low or no-cost drug dispensation have optimal long-term adherence to statins, we aimed to evaluate 10-year adherence to statin in a cohort of STEMI survivors.

Methods

The AMI-QUEBEC Study follows a cohort of STEMI patients hospitalized at 17 hospitals in Quebec, Canada during the year 2003. We obtained 10-year data on lipid lowering therapy (LLT) consumption in STEMI survivors with drug coverage by the Quebec Provincial Health Board (i.e., Régie de l’Assurance Maladie du Québec – RAMQ). Optimal adherence was defined as the proportion of days covered (PDC) of ≥80%. We used multivariate logistic regression to determine factors independently associated with optimal adherence to statins.

Results

Complete 10-year data on statin dispensation was available for 524 patients. Optimal adherence remained stable over time at 80% and more during the 10-year follow-up period. During the last 5 years, despite being STEMI patients at very high-risk and therefore requiring some LLT therapy, 12% of patients did not use any LLT. Patients between the age of 60 and 80 years had the most optimal PDC. Older age (up to 80 years), living in less socially deprived areas, concomitant use of angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB), and admission to percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI)-hospitals were associated with improved statin adherence.

Conclusion

Future studies are needed to explore the potential factors associated with concomitant use of ACEI/ARB, and admission to PCI-hospitals that may have optimized statin adherence. As for socially deprived patients (single, widow, single-parent family member, and those who lived alone), they may benefit from more support and encouragement to enhance their long-term statin adherence.

Do Local Investors Always Know Better? Evidence from China's Market Segmentation
Authors: Cao Sean Shun , Ma Tao , Wan Chi
Published: December 2018

SYNOPSIS

It is well documented that domestic investors have an information advantage over foreign investors. We utilize the market segmentation of Chinese A- and B-shares to disentangle the information sets of domestic versus foreign investors. We find that while domestic investors lead foreign investors in firm-specific information, the latter are better at incorporating macro-level information into stock prices. Thus, our results indicate that, in contrast to conventional beliefs, foreign investors are not at an absolute information disadvantage in emerging markets. In addition, we find that domestic investors' firm-specific information advantage is weakened among firms that have higher accounting quality and in situations where foreign investors face fewer cultural and communication barriers. Taken together, our paper indicates the key information role played by foreign investors and the importance of financial reporting quality in emerging markets.

The union as a container for aspiration struggle for all workers has a very important function and role for the lives of workers in the world of work, especially in the creation and implementation of Collaborative Work Agreements containing the arrangements of work requirements, rights and obligations that are often regarded as formality in the implementation of finding barriers, both from workers and from employers. Implementation of the Collaborative Working Agreement has in principle worked well even though there are some agreements that are not implemented by both parties. Failure of agreement by both parties should not result in a dispute over the employment relationship as it can always be done with the consideration of reaching an agreement. The lack of optimal role of Trade Unions in advocating workers' rights, ignorance and lack of workers' awareness of workers' rights, and low Worker Resources is an obstacle in the implementation of the Collective Labor Agreement
The short-term turnover estimates in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on the VAT data
Authors: Kanlić Fahir , Abdić Ademir
Published: December 2018

National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) strive to produce short-term business statistics (STS) indicators with the high quality estimates in a timely manner. NSIs are usually faced with the challenges, such as differences in definitions, incompleteness of administrative data, periodicity and timeliness, coverage issues, etc. Administrative Value Added Tax (VAT) turnover data can be used to partially or completely replace survey data for the estimation of short-term business turnover indicators. In this paper, main characteristics of administrative VAT turnover data in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be examined through cleaning of VAT turnover data and matching them with survey data. Hence, the main objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between VAT turnover data and survey data in in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Monthly Retail Trade Turnover Indices (RTI) for in Bosnia and Herzegovina will be estimated by using administrative VAT turnover data. Spearman’s correlation coefficients are used to examine the presence of a linear relationship between VAT turnover data and survey data. Results gained by using survey and administrative VAT turnover data will be compared. Based on the results of the analysis, future challenges and perspectives for expansion of using administrative VAT turnover data will be identified.
Handling heteroskedasticity in labour demand functions of athletes
Authors: Rappai Gábor , Fűrész Diána Ivett
Published: December 2018

Based on previous research it can be stated that modelling sport economics related demand curves (e.g. demand for sport events and athletes) is different from other types of modelling. The difference lies in the fact that some parts of the demand curves are nearly horizontal in case of sport goods and nearly vertical in case of athletes, because the price of sport events is inflexible and at the same time, salaries of top athletes are extremely flexible. This study investigates parameter estimation methods appropriate for the relevant demand functions of sport economics. In this cases the generally used ordinary least squares estimator is less robust, so the weighted least squares estimators are able to handle heteroskedasticity. If the distribution of the variables is known, the Newey-West heteroscedasticity corrected estimates give even stronger results. The empirical study analyses footballer transfer fees in top European leagues and identifies a threshold at which the traditional supply-demand functions are not appropriate. According to the results, word class athletes, in a way, can be considered prestige goods for which demand may be irrational.

Sustainable development has been highlighted widely in productive sectors such as the sugar industry with new paradigms and trends such restructuring of sugar mills in biorefineries and development of green chemical from byproducts, considering issues such as technology adoption towards sustainability, circular economy, climate change, value chain, sustainability assessment and decision making. Production of cane sugar is one of Mexico’s main agro-industries; it conveys numerous positive socio-economic impacts and presents opportunities for productive diversification and enhanced profitability and competiveness. The sugar industry faces sustainability challenges due to the management of natural resources like soil, water, fossil fuels and agrochemicals, as well as the impacts of its greenhouse gas emissions and socio-economic constraints. However, sustainability of cane and sugar production cannot be assessed due to a lack of methodological frameworks for integrating economic and environmental indicators. We propose an index for Mexico’s sugar agro-industry that facilitates the identification of those system components that impact sustainability. This index is based on a reduced number of indicators aggregated through a multi-criteria evaluation using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). We apply this index to evaluate four sugar production systems in Mexico: producers of raw, refined, muscovado sugar and ethanol. Results show that systems with a high agro-industrial yield present better sustainability performance. This study is relevant because it provides quantitative information for decision makers towards a sustainable sugarcane agro-industry, based on the indicators used to build the sustainability index, to address actions as increase productive diversification by-products based, improve access to credit, irrigation, management practices and raw material quality reducing production costs, eliminate fossil fuel use in factories, make fertilizer application more efficient and reduce the area that is burned for manual harvest.

With the growing demand for application of metal-oxide varistor (MOV) in low-voltage electronic circuits for overvoltage protection, it is necessary to ensure its performance to avoid the short-circuit and the line-to-ground fault during operation. In this paper, a precise leakage current analyzer was developed to detect the total leakage current and third harmonic component of MOV for its condition monitoring. The voltage- and temperature-dependent measuring uncertainties were compensated using the multipliers. In addition, the deterioration characteristics of the MOV and the newly developed thermally protected metal-oxide varistor (TMOV) were investigated in the accelerated aging test. From the experimental results, the MOV deteriorated much faster under the lightning current impulse synchronized with power-frequency voltage. The thermally activated fuse of TMOV exploded under two types of impulses, which indicated that the TMOV is much more vulnerable and that it is difficult to diagnose the condition of energized TMOV in advance.

Paper deals with the use of an induction machine in the role of a generator. Such an operational mode is called a self-excited induction generator SEIG. It does not require an external power source to create the excitation field, as is the case with traditional synchronous generators. Therefore, it is widely used in power plants with renewable energy as a primary source (wind, water, etc). However, in terms of possible regulation and control of the electrical properties, the excitation process is extremely important. A mathematical model and simulation in Matlab are introduced. The excitation process was experimentally investigated in the laboratory of electric drives and the results are correlated with the expectations.

To clarify the relationship between microporous defects and the development of partial discharge(PD) in silicone rubber, meanwhile evaluate insulation state of the prefabricated power cable joints quantitatively, the microporous defect is made based on real power cable joint, and PD signals are measured by step test method with the development of the defect. The discharge number, total energy and average energy of PD is gained to calculate the curves changed over time, based on which the breakdown process is divided into 4 stages, then phased spectra and grayscale maps are calculated for reflection of PD repetition rate and average energy in phase domain. Phase width, skewness of spectrum and coefficient of variation of parameter are employed to indicate the spectra statistical shape feature in each stage. The study indicates that the shape features of spectra are changed during the development of defect, the 3 features parameters are monotonously changed, and the changing rate is significantly higher at the end of the breakdown process. Evaluation method for micropores PD of silicon rubber is proposed based on the analysis of the parameters and the trend of PDs development.
Harmonic and pulsed eddy current testing methods as tools for surface and subsurface defect evaluation
Authors: Behúň Lukáš , Slobodník Karel
Published: December 2018

In most publications eddy current testing (ECT) methods are said to be suitable for surface defects up to several millimeters. This paper aims to evaluate the detection capabilities of eddy current testing based on two examples of modern approach. One of them is a harmonic eddy current method with use of wavelet transformation and neural network. The second method is pulsed eddy current testing (PECT) with use of evaluation script based on cross-correlation of measured data with the set of known reference signals. Two samples with five artificial defects each were investigated from the near and far side. Geometric parameters of every defect were then estimated. Results show that both methods are limited by the skin effect. However, the PECT with use of cross-correlation exhibits detection capabilities of subsurface defects in significant depth. On the other hand, harmonic eddy current testing shows lower errors in dimensions estimation for set of surface defects.

The Hamadian groundwater table ensures water supply for the agricultural perimeter of Wadi Mehiya region in the North-East of Tindouf city. In order to determine the behaviour of this groundwater table, a piezometric map have been realized, followed by physicochemical analyses to assess the chemical facies, the suitability of this water for irrigation and drinking purposes, as well as its vulnerability to different pollutants. This groundwater table is essentially composed of fine to coarse and clayey sands, surmounted by a silicified limestone slab. It is a free groundwater table with a thickness of 18 to 99 m. The sampling has been done in June 2010. Then, the physicochemical analyses have been performed on 7 samples taken from 7 boreholes. The piezometric study proved that the flow of groundwater table follows a North-East to South-West direction, towards the Sebkha of Tindouf. The graphic representation of chemical facies, using Piper and Schoeller–Berkaloff diagrams, reveals that the water of Wadi Mehiya contains mainly magnesium sulphate. The graphical representation of irrigation water quality, using Wilcox diagram, revealed an acceptable quality with a high salinity. Moreover, this water is potable with hard-mineralized character. Nitrates contamination has been also noted, which is a logical result of the excessive use of chemical fertilizers.
