Segunda República Española en los libros de texto de bachillerato de Andalucía
Authors: García Fernández Francisco Javier
Published: February 2023

Con este trabajo, se pretende dar respuesta a la siguiente cuestión: ¿existen diferencias entre libros de texto indicados para un mismo nivel educativo y para un mismo contenido, siendo además utilizados en la misma Comunidad Autónoma y bajo una misma ley educativa? Para esto hemos realizado un análisis de carácter documental de tipo cuantitativo y otro de tipo cualitativo, a tres libros de texto de Historia de España, indicados para segundo de bachillerato en la Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía, estando en vigor la Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE). Más concretamente, nos hemos centrado en las unidades didácticas dedicadas al estudio de la Segunda República Española (1931-1939). Los resultados muestran notables diferencias, lo que demuestra la importancia de la elección por parte del profesorado entre una editorial u otra.

Published: February 2023

Pengembangan diri dan profesional dianggap vital di kalangan guru untuk mendukung peran mereka sebagai agen perubahan dalam lingkungan pendidikan. Namun, sedikit perhatian ditujukan pada masalah bagaimana guru membangun, memperkuat dan memelihara pengembangan diri dan profesional mereka, terutama di tingkat sekolah menengah di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, program ini bertujuan untuk memfasilitasi guru dalam membangun, mengembangkan dan merefleksikan pengembangan diri dan profesional mereka melalui menulis. Program ini dilaksanakan di SMP dan SMA Terpadu Darulmutaalimin di Kota Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Peserta program ini adalah 27 guru dari sekolah tersebut. Program ini dilaksanakan dalam sembilan pertemuan setiap minggunya dengan tema utama 'menulis sebagai cerminan pengembangan pribadi dan profesional guru'. Program ini mengadopsi Participatory Action Research (PAR) untuk membantu guru mengembangkan pengembangan diri dan profesional mereka melalui kegiatan menulis (Kemmis, et. al. 2014). Kegiatan program ini meliputi empat tahapan besar, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi dan refleksi. Hasil pelatihan ini menunjukkan bahwa guru mampu mendorong pengembangan diri dan profesional mereka melalui menulis cerita. Selain itu, mereka menganggap bahwa menulis merupakan strategi yang efektif untuk merefleksikan pengalaman dan persepsi mereka. Juga, menulis membantu mereka mengomunikasikan apa yang tidak terucapkan. Selanjutnya, menulis memotivasi mereka untuk lebih produktif dalam kehidupan pribadi, akademik dan profesional mereka. Berdasarkan fakta ini, memberdayakan guru untuk memiliki pengetahuan dan praktik yang memadai dalam menulis cerita memungkinkan mereka untuk melakukan pengembangan diri dan profesional secara berkelanjutan, memperkuat kegiatan refleksi secara personal dan menjadi pendidik yang produktif.
Pendampingan Pembuatan Pupuk Organik untuk Meningkatkan Produksi Pertanian di Padukuhan Seropan II, Kelurahan Muntuk, Kepanewon Dlingo, Bantul
Authors: Paksi Arie Kusuma , Tiara Alen , Setyorini Fitri Adi
Published: February 2023

Dusun Seropan II terletak di Kelurahan Muntuk dengan kondisi wilayah yang masih asri mendorong mayoritas penduduk menggantungkan hidup pada lahan pertanian dan perternakan. Permasalahan utama yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat adalah topografi wilayah yang curam dan tinggi menyebabkan corak pertanian di Dusun Seropan II menjadi pertanian lahan kering dengan 1 kali panen setiap tahun. Penggunaan pupuk buatan secara terus-menerus dapat memperpendek usia kesuburan tanah dan secara otomatis akan menurunkan kualitas hasil pertanian. Sementara limbah kotoran sapi dari peternakan belum termanfaatkan secara optimal. Perlu adanya dorongan agar masyarakat mampu mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap pupuk buatan dan beralih memproduksi pupuk organik secara mandiri. Masyarakat dapat menggunakan alternatif dalam bidang pertanian dengan memanfaatkan kotoran ternak sapi. Dengan harapan dapat menjaga kesuburan tanah dalam jangka waktu panjang serta mewujudkan sistem pertanian terpadu yang memanfaatkan limbah peternakan.

Cambio de uso de suelo por la construcción del NAICM en Texcoco, Estado de México
Authors: Romero-Padilla Arely , Hernández-Juárez Martín
Published: February 2023

El megaproyecto del nuevo aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México fue anunciado por primera vez en 2001 y cancelado en 2019; sin embargo, tuvo su mayor avance en construcción en el sexenio 2012-2018. Con el anunció y cancelación existió cambio de uso de suelo y especulación respecto al valor de la tierra. Este estudio evalúa el impacto que la construcción y posterior cancelación del aeropuerto generó en el cambio de uso de suelo en el municipio de Texcoco y municipios aledaños en el Estado de México y la percepción de actores clave sobre los efectos que esto ocasionó. Se procesaron imágenes de alta resolución del satélite Sentinel-2 de la zona colindante a la construcción del aeropuerto para los años 2016 a 2021. Se utilizaron los sistemas de información geográfica para realizar una clasificación supervisada con índices espectrales y generar mapas temáticos de uso de suelo con cuatro clases: suelo desnudo, suelo con vegetación, suelo urbano y cuerpos de agua. Se aplicaron entrevistas a actores clave que permitieron, con un análisis cualitativo, obtener la apreciación de los cambios y afectaciones derivadas del proyecto aeroportuario. Los resultados muestran una tasa de crecimiento mayor de suelo urbano de 2016 a 2017, superficie que se encuentra principalmente cerca de la construcción del aeropuerto y que reemplazó mayormente al suelo desnudo. Este proceso de construcción del aeropuerto provocó disgustos en la población por las afectaciones al ambiente y consecuencias sociales como un crecimiento urbano descontrolado y perturbación por el tránsito de vehículos de carga. Como resultado de la cancelación del aeropuerto queda suelo desnudo por la explotación de minas e inseguridad vehicular ocasionada por las vialidades inconclusas.
Moléculas pequeñas como materiales fluorescentes en bioimagen por microscopía de absorción de dos fotones
Authors: Flores-Jarillo M. , Álvarez-Hernández A.
Published: February 2023

Cuando la luz interactúa con la materia, una molécula puede absorber fotones para generar un estado electrónico excitado que, al desactivarse, emite luz en un proceso llamado fluorescencia. Existen moléculas que, mediante la acción de un láser, que concentra la luz en espacio y tiempo, pueden absorber simultáneamente dos fotones de luz infrarroja para acceder a un estado excitado que genera fotones de emisión de mayor energía (luz visible) que la luz empleada en la excitación. Además, el proceso es muy localizado lo cual permite que la bioimagen por microscopía óptica de fluorescencia de dos fotones tenga alta resolución, penetre profundamente en los tejidos y cause menor daño en las células y tejidos de estudio comparada a la fluorescencia por absorción de un solo fotón. La técnica usa microscopios de fluorescencia especializados que cuentan con un láser de luz infrarroja (700- 1000 nm) para irradiar la muestra y existen fluoróforos comerciales con los cuales se ha elaborado una amplia variedad de imágenes celulares para observar y detectar organelos celulares, ADN, enzimas, iones metálicos y moléculas reactivas en células [1]. Sin embargo, aún se requieren moléculas de absorción de dos fotones mucho más eficientes que las comerciales y que sean altamente selectivas. Por tanto, es necesario diseñar y obtener moléculas con mayor rendimiento cuántico de fluorescencia, mayor sección cruzada de absorción multifotónica, fotoestabilidad, apreciable solubilidad en agua, alta especificidad hacia el analito objetivo y baja citotoxicidad. El presente trabajo de divulgación ilustra los avances y retos en el desarrollo de materiales para microscopía óptica por bsorción de dos fotones basados en el análisis de la literatura científica

Authors: Escamilla-Casas J.C. , Blanco-Piñón A. , Castillo-Pérez I. , Cruz-Chávez E. , Ortiz-Hernández L.E.
Published: February 2023

En  Geología  Estructural,  tradicionalmente  la  descripción  de  pliegues  se  ha  hecho utilizando  el modelo de pliegues cilíndricos. En consecuencia, la información geométrica fundamental se reduce a 2D.   Lo   anterior   se   debe   a   que   en   el   modelo   cilíndrico, todas   las   secciones   transversales perpendiculares a los ejes de los pliegues son idénticas. Alternativamente, la creciente utilización de datos   tridimensionales,   tales   como   los colectados   mediante   GPS,   sensores   remotos,   sísmica tridimensional de reflexión, etc. han permitido el uso de la geometría diferencial para la descripción minuciosa   de   estructuras geológicas   plegadas.   Consecuentemente,   la   geometría   diferencial, constituye una herramienta novedosa e imprescindible para cuantificar rigurosamente la  geometría medida y modelada de estructuras geológicas. En el presente trabajo, se hace referencia al concepto de curvatura  geológica  para  la  descripción  de  estructuras  plegadas  a  través  del  método  de la geometría diferencial. Adicionalmente, se sugiere la aplicación de este método para describir otros tipos de estructuras, ya que proporciona un marco de referencia para la descripción cuantitativa de superficies  curvas  y  planas.  Así  mismo,  se  presenta  un  ejemplo  de aplicación  para  el  análisis  y cuantificación de pliegues geológicos,  a través de representaciones gráficas generadas mediante la compilación de códigos en MATLAB®. Se hace una comparación ilustrada entre el método de la geometría  diferencial  y  el  método  convencional, tomando  en  cuenta  las  bondades,  eficacia  y versatilidad  de  cada  uno  para  la  descripción  de  estructuras  geológicas.  Finalmente,  se  presenta  la ejemplificación sobre el uso del método de la geometría diferencial para el modelado de estructuras plegadas.  Esto  último  se hace  considerando  que  el  modelado  es  parte  fundamental  y  crítica  de  la Geología Estructural y de la exploración actual, e. g. por hidrocarburos, minería, etc.

En este trabajo se evalúan las propiedades magnéticas y la estructura cristalina  de la hexaferrita de estroncio (tipo M) dopada con Gd³⁺. Siguiendo la fórmula GdₓSr₁₋ₓFe₁₂O₁₉ (donde x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 y 0.4), se sintetizó una serie de hexaferritas mediante molienda de alta energía, empleando mezclas estequiométricas de Fe₂O₃, SrCO₃ y Gd₂O₃ durante 5 h y posterior tratamiento térmico a 850 °C. Los resultados  de  DRX  y  refinamiento  Rietveld  revelaron  la  presencia  de  una  fase prioritaria  de  tipo hexagonal, y al incrementar el nivel de dopaje se incrementa la cantidad de hematita (Fe₂O₃), debido a que Gd³⁺ ocupa posiciones de Sr²⁺, lo que promueve la formación de vacancias para mantener la electroneutralidad, disminuyendo la cantidad de hematita necesaria para la reacción. La coercitividad incrementa notablemente hasta 7 kOe, para niveles de sustitución (x) de 0.4 mol de Gd, los cuales son valores no reportados por otros métodos. La magnetización oscila entre 40 y 60 emu/g, lo cual depende  directamente  de  la  proporción  de  hematita  sin  reaccionar,  como  consecuencia  de  la temperatura y del incremento de anisotropía magnética provocada por el nivel de dopaje.

Credit Scoring Model for Farmers using Random Forest
Authors: Bahri Kharida Aulia , Yeni Herdiyeni  , Suprehatin Suprehatin
Published: February 2023

One of the problems faced by farmers in Indonesia is capital. Based on Indonesian Central Statistics Agency survey results, the number of farmers who borrow capital from formal institutions such as banks is still small. This is because the process of applying for loans at banks is lengthy, farmers are considered high-risk and unbankable, and the rating of the agricultural sector is unattractive to banks. This study aims to determine the attributes and design a model of agricultural credit assessment. This study uses secondary data related to bank credit ratings and land productivity from banks in the Telagasari sub-district in 2018–2020 and Cipayung sub-district in 2020. Data were analyzed using random forests. The research process includes four stages: data collection, data pre-processing, model building, and model analysis and evaluation. This study produced five important variables that are relevant to farmers: planting costs, sales, land productivity, total production, and land area. The model built produces the most optimal accuracy of 83% with an AUC score of 81%. Based on the AUC performance classification, it can be concluded that the model that has been made is good at predicting the credit status of farmers because the AUC value is included in the good classification predicate.

Authors: Farhana Baiq Chunafa Diza , Baharuddin Baharuddin , Wardana Lalu Ali , Farmasari Santi
Published: February 2023

This study aims to determine the quality of students in pre-editing academic text input to GNMT. The participants in this study were students of the English Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, the University of Mataram, who took the "Translation and Interpreting" course in semester five of the 2021/2022 Academic Year. This data was collected from assignments completed by 20 students. Supporting information is collected through observation by sitting while learning takes place. Data were analyzed using content analysis procedures such as identifying, categorizing, describing, and explaining. The results of this study indicate that almost all students have good quality results in pre-editing, but it could be better, and some students fail to pre-edit text. The pre-edited output looks like a revised version of the text. Pre-editing shows how the source text changes, especially in language structure, word choice, and punctuation. The good or bad quality of the GNMT translated text represents the student's ability in pre-editing the source text. Thus, the more effort is put into pre-editing the text context, the more likely it is to produce text with better translation quality by GNMT.
Treatment protocol with alternative iron drugs in patients with an allergic reaction during iron replacement therapy
Authors: Saltuk Buğra Kaya
Published: February 2023

In our study, we aimed to show that alternative iron salts containing different additives are safe to use in patients who have type 1 hypersensitivity reactions to iron drugs and need iron replacement therapy. Materials and methods: Between January 2022 and June 2022, patients who had previously developed type 1 hypersensitivity reactions with iron preparations and needed iron replacement were included in the study. The study was designed retrospectively. Skin tests were first performed on patients to demonstrate a type 1 hypersensitivity reaction. If skin tests were negative and there was no history of life-threatening anaphylaxis, oral provocation tests were continued. If the absence of variability in symptoms and perimeter values, the drug allergy test was considered negative. Results: Twenty-two patients were included in the study. Twenty-one of the patients were female and one was male. Iron deficiency anemia was found in nine patients, and low iron stores in thirteen patients without anemia were found. Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction developed with Iron 3 Carboxymaltose in 7 patients, Iron 2 Sulfate in 5 patients, Iron 2 Glycine in 4 patients, Iron 3 Hydroxy Polymaltose in 4 patients, Iron 2 Fumarate in 1 patient and Iron 3 Hydroxide Sucrose in 1 patient. Allergy tests with all alternative iron drugs containing additional additives were negative. Conclusion: If patients with allergic reactions cannot be referred to allergy clinics, we think that oral iron salts with different additives can be used after the first dose is given in the hospital under general anaphylaxis precautions. We show that oral iron salts containing different additives can be safely used.
Eco-friendly microplastic removal through physical and chemical techniques: a review
Authors: Mohammad R Alrbaihat , Qusay Abu-Afifeh
Published: February 2023

A growing number of synthetic plastics derived from fossil fuels are produced, and improper plastic waste management has caused a lot of pollution problems. There are many microplastics in the environment, and they disintegrate slowly in soil and water. The properties of microplastics (MPs) include long residence times, high stability, high fragmentation potential, and the ability to adsorb other contaminants. Invertebrates and planktonic organisms are easily able to accumulate microplastics in aquatic species. Therefore, microplastics (MPs) must be removed from the water and other media. This paper aims to review the occurrence, raw polymers and additives, and remediation methods for removing microplastics from the environment. Several methods are available for removing contaminants, including sorption, filtration and chemical treatments. Various removal methods are discussed along with their methods, efficiency and advantages.

Published: February 2023

Lack of adherence to recommended therapy will reduce its effectiveness and can subsequently lead to disease progression, disabilities or even death. A vast number of research studies have emphasized the magnitude of medication nonadherence and its effect on treatment outcomes, patient’s health, healthcare providers and the associated costs; medication nonadherence remains a major concern that is believed to be widely practiced amongst medication taking patients. The current systemic review aims to cohere the available evidence regarding medication nonadherence rate, practices, and potential affecting factors and predictors. A search through different databases was conducted, including PubMed, Medline, and CINHAL for recently published research articles, within five years. The terms used for the search include medication nonadherence, medication nonadherence, factors affecting medication nonadherence and predictors of medication nonadherence. The search was limited to human subjects, English language journal articles and exclusion of review articles, case studies, and data from clinical trials as patient adherence is closely observed.

The search resulted in 667 articles and only 65 articles were included and further screened. However, according to our exclusion criteria, 15 articles only were included in this review. The three most reported practices of medication nonadherence are prescription abandonment, nonconforming, and non-persistence. There are five reported factors that may lead to nonadherence practices such as socioeconomic-related factors, healthcare system-related factors, patient-related factors, disease-related factors, and therapy-related factors. In conclusion, medication nonadherence practice is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that requires a multi-targeted solution.

Background: Nowadays public health faces many challenges. Epidemiological surveillance and environmental hygiene and infection in community from SARS-CoV-2 along with its control in municipal wastewaters and reuse of water are amongst them. Epidemiology and environmental microbiology considers wastewater release of great importance. The purpose of this study is the detection and classification of COVID-19 infection in community wastewater and their removal by efficient functional processes.

Methods and materials: A descriptive review of the published literature over the last 15-years in Greek and English was carried out via Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases with the perspective of creating a research protocol. The study material consists of recent articles on the subject using keywords. Thus, the most effective techniques, wastewater-based epidemiology, and quantitative microbial risk assessment, for virus surveillance in wastewater are further analyzed.

Results and contexts: The process and management of wastewater at a global level, is a high risk and a great challenge due to the huge amount of biomedical waste and wastewater that ends up in wastewater treatment plants. It may be an obstacle to human health, especially in the ongoing pandemic situation that must be evaluated in the operations of the plant in the environment along with the presence of other dangerous pathogenic microbes.

Conclusions: It is vital the relationship between humanity and environment be reconsidered and more sustainable behavioural choices be encouraged. Scientific evidence pinpoints that the onset of new viral pathogens with a high epidemic-pandemic potential is often the result, complex, interactions among animals, individuals, and environment.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:

Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a benign lesion which is characterized by presence of multinucleated osteoclasts type giant cells. Nuclear factor kappa B (RANKL) serves as the trigger factor for osteoclasts cells formation. Although surgery is the primary treatment for GCT of bone but recurrence remains the concern. Therefore, the development of denosumab, a monoclonal antibody for treating GCT for both primary and recurrent disease cases. The present study aims to show the role of denosumab along with surgery when given as neo-adjuvant drug to patients of GCT for their treatment.

Methodology:

A total of 23 patients diagnosed with GCT were included in this study from January 2016–December 2019 and all of these patients had received neo adjuvant denosumab dose of 120 mg SC on day 0, 15, 30 & 45. All patients were treated at the section of Orthopedics, department of surgery, Aga Khan University hospital, Karachi. Other benign lesions were excluded from the study.

Results:

Out of 23 patients we had 12 (52.2%) males and 11 (47.8%) females. The mean age of our patients was 34±13.8 years and mean follow up duration of all patients was 20.5 ± 10.7 months. There were 15 (65.2%) primary cases of GCT while 8 (34.8%) were recurrent cases. In 8 (34.8%) of the cases primary site of lesion was distal femur followed by 7(30.4%) proximal tibia cases and 3(13%) distal radius cases. In surgical procedure 20 (87%) patients underwent wide margin excision and only 3 (13%) had intralesional curettage. Reconstruction was performed in 21 patients which consist of bone grafting in 9 patients and mega prosthesis insertion in 12 patients. Only two patients had no reconstruction. On final histopathology, there was no residual GCT and we observed no denosumab induced adverse effects. Post-operative complications included wound infection and peri prosthetic infection in 3 patients. On follow-up we had 4(17.4%) cases of recurrence that were offered revision surgery while 19 (82.6%) were disease free.

Conclusion:

Denosumab has shown successful results in treating patients with GCT along with surgical intervention and it can be a best option for treating recurrent disease as well.

Nosso dossiê, cuja chamada esteve aberta ao público de março a setembro de 2022, objetivou suscitar reflexões sobre necropolítica, biopolítica e demais ferramentas conceituais voltadas à compreensão do Estado e suas engrenagens de moer gente, como aquelas que mortificam re-existências, especialmente da cartografia política localizada no sul/subsolo: “corpos-territórios” negros, travestis, indígenas, quilombolas, afeminados, sapatões, favelados, bichas, trabalhadores, refugiados, (d)entre tantxs outrxs. Se tais corpos são alvos certeiros de balas/bombas, canetadas/sentenças, decretos, bisturis e falos, ao mesmo tempo são corpos que se rebelam em “aliança” (Butler, 2018) contra o neoliberalismo que abjetifica e aprofunda a precarização de vidas que (des)importam ao Estado e seus tentáculos.

The impact of educational strategies on primary school students’ attitudes towards climate change: A comparison of three European countries
Authors: Kroufek Roman , Nepraš Karel
Published: February 2023

Climate education is becoming a key educational issue of our time. This also brings with it increased demands for educational research in this area. One important question is how climate attitudes are constructed to support students’ willingness to act towards climate change. In this paper, we explore how participatory, holistic and community-based learning approaches influence the construction of climate attitudes in school students from the Czech Republic, Portugal, and the UK (n=473; M=13.49 years). Students’ perceptions of different educational strategies were nearly the same across countries. Girls perceive holistic, values-based teaching more strongly. Of the strategies studied, holistic education has the greatest influence on the formation of climate attitudes (β=0.34 for climate change beliefs, β=0.32 for climate change intentions), and community-based teaching has a partial influence (β=0.13 for climate change intentions). It is thus the use of holistic and community-based educational approaches that is key to the successful implementation of climate education.

While the past 50 years have been categorized as the Information or Digital Age, the mass amounts of digitized data has been sorely underutilized. It was only recently through the COVID-19 pandemic that accelerated efforts were sought to harness this data with the use of blockchain technology in healthcare. Through the infrastructure and its tokenization applications, we can now effectively leverage healthcare data into more efficient business processes, secure better patient engagement and outcomes all while generating new revenue streams for an array of healthcare stakeholders. It is in compiling this stockpiled data into new, compliant business models and utilizing blockchain technology that we can reap the full potential of this era. Here are some predictions as to how we might set about these efforts in 2023.

El café es una oportunidad para implementar sistemas agroecológicos. En los últimos años, la superficie cultivada aumenta en México, sin embargo, la producción no ha sido la esperada debido a factores ambientales atribuidos al cambio climático y a la incidencia de plagas que debilitan la producción, ocasionando un inestable precio del producto, que afecta a los productores. Existen opciones que ofrecen beneficios económicos a través de la producción, como la obtención de certificaciones ambientales que permiten verificar la procedencia orgánica y la trazabilidad sustentable del producto, así como obtener bonos por prestación de servicios ambientales que ayudan a implementar cultivos agroecológicos.
