Authors: Tripathy Vinita , Verma Bela , Jain Suhani
Published: September 2023

Varicella is a viral exanthematous illness caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Usually, it is mild and self-limiting, but
severe or life-threatening complications can occur. Purpura fulminans, being one of them, is a potentially life-threatening
condition of intravascular thrombosis and hemorrhagic infarction of the skin. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with post varicella purpura
fulminans leading to chronic non-healing ulcers on bilateral dorsum of the feet. Despite having normal laboratory results initially, the condition
was promptly diagnosed and treated with antibiotics as per sensitivity pattern and wound debridement.

Context: Post-transplant erythrocytosis (PTE), having an incidence of 10 to 15 % in the transplant population needs
close monitoring of hematological parameters for early diagnosis and prevention of life-threatening thrombotic
complications. Studies identifying the factors associated with PTE are sparse. Our aim is to study the demographic prole, prevalence, Aims:
factors that predict PTE, course of the disease, complications, and response to treatment. Our st Settings and design: udy is a cross-sectional
descriptive study involving 83 renal transplant recipients on follow-up at our center. P Materials and methods: atients with hemoglobin levels of
more than 17 gm/dl and or hematocrit of more than 51% irrespective of gender were considered to be the PTE group and other patients were
considered to be non-PTE group. Data from all patients in the study were collected retrospectively from medical records and analyzed Results:
PTE was found in 11(13.2%) patients and their mean age was 33+2.2 years. All 11 patients were males. The mean age of patients in the PTE group
was lower than in the non-PTE group. The mean creatinine value in the PTE group was 1.05+0.22 mg/dl compared to 1.60+0.82 mg/dl in the nonPTE group. A thrombotic complication was observed in one (9.09%) patient in the PTE group. Mean pre-transplant hemoglobin in the PTE group
was 10.01+-0.49 gm/dl compared to 8.17+1.09gm/dl in the non-PTE group. Male gender, better graft fu Conclusions: nction, younger recipient,
and higher pre-transplant hemoglobin were identied to be signicant risk factors for PTE. PTE though benign in most patients may rarely cause
life-threatening thrombotic complications and hence requires early identication and treatment.

Authors: Krishnan U Ramu , Rejoice Poppy , Shafique A , Kandasamy Alias Kumar E
Published: September 2023

Background and Aims Acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute hepatic insult on an underlying chronic liver
disease or cirrhosis resulting in rapidly progressing liver cell failure with multi-organ failure and is associated with a high
mortality rate. The most common cause of acute insult in developed countries is sepsis and in India, it is due to heavy alcohol usage or alcoholic
hepatitis. The aim of the study is to assess the efcacy of prednisolone in reducing 28-day and 3-month mortality rates in ethanol-related ACLF.
Methods This is a prospective cohort single-centre study done at the Department of medical gastroenterology, Tirunelveli medical college from
time period July 2022 to July 2023. The Institutional Ethics Committee approved the study and all patients gave informed written consent. 27
patients were enrolled in the study, but only 17 patients could be initiated on prednisolone 60mg once daily for 28 days and only 12 patients
completed prednisolone. Primary outcomes were 28-day and 3-month survival rates in the prednisolone vs non-prednisolone group. The
secondary outcomes were to assess the effect of sepsis, MELD (Model for end-stage liver disease) score, and AARC(APASL ACLF research
consortium) grade on 3-month mortality. Results 62.9% patients were initiated on prednisolone and the survival rate was 48.1%(p=0.004).
44.4% completed 28-day prednisolone course and 3-month survival in these patients was 100% (p<0.001). Sepsis was the most common cause
of death, 72.7% with sepsis did not survive 3 months(p=0.014). MELD score>25(p=0-001) and AARC grade 3 (p=0.031)were independent risk
factors for poor survival. Conclusion Corticosteroids are benecial in improving survival rate in a handful of cases with severe alcohol hepatitis
(SAH) related ACLF. Sepsis remains the challenging factor in the initiation of prednisolone as well as maintaining therapy and is associated with
high mortality. Higher AARC grade responds poorly to steroids corresponding with poor 3-month survival.

Authors: Sonagara Vanita , Mathur Ranjana
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Menopause is a natural event in the aging process and signies the end of reproductive years with
cessation of cyclic ovarian functions as manifested by cyclic menstruation. A complex and mostly undiscovered
combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors govern the functional lifespan of human ovaries. Leptin is positively connected
with obesity and insulin resistance. Leptin levels are found to be higher in the females of obese diabetics and nondiabetics. Higher serum leptin
levels has been found to be linked to greater rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Material and methods: In this study, 150 obese nondiabetic
(Group-I) and 150 obese diabetic (Group-II) postmenopausal women were recruited. Blood samples were collected and were processed for
biochemical investigations by standard protocol using commercially available reagents and kits on fully automatic chemistry analyzer, ELISA
and Chemiluminescence analyzer. In present study, 150 were obese postmenopausal Results: nondiabetic (Group-I) and 150 obese
postmenopausal type 2 diabetic (Group-II) women were included. In our study, mean serum leptin of the Group-I subjects, was 23.4±1.59
ng/mL, and 32.3±3.16 ng/mL in Group II subjects. Serum leptin levels was found to be signicantly higher among Group-II subjects (p<0.0001).
The correlation of serum leptin with HDL, and vitamin-D, among Group-I and Group-II was negatively associated. The correlation of serum
leptin with hsCRP among Group-I and Group-II was positively associated. The association of serum leptin with serum HDL among Group-I and
Group-II women was signicant (p=0.033 and 0.003 respectively). Diabetic postmenopausal obes Conclusion: e women had signicantly
higher levels of leptin. Higher leptin levels association with low vitamin-D levels justify progression to osteoporosis
INCLUSÃO DIGITAL NO ESPAÇO ESCOLAR - UMA PERPECTIVA CRÍTICA
Authors: Salermo Evandro Carlos
Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo examinar o conceito de inclusão digital e sua aplicação no siste-ma educacional brasileiro, destacando os desafios e reflexões que emergem dessa integração tecnológica. Uma vez que a sociedade se torna cada vez mais informatizada, a ênfase na pro-moção da inclusão digital nas escolas tem aumentado consideravelmente, devido, em grande parte, a fatores caros à própria tecnologia, tais como a velocidade e acessibilidade da informa-ção. No entanto, há mais por se perquirir, pois esta transformação não ocorre no vácuo e está atrelada a pressões econômicas e ideológicas oriundas do neoliberalismo, cujo ideário tecni-cista tende a subapreciar a contribuição dos professores e instaurar uma atmosfera de monito-ramento constante de dados. Dessa feita, levando em conta essas premissas, é necessário pro-blematizar a inclusão digital, a cultura digital e o contexto educacional a fim de compreender como esses elementos se interrelacionam e impactam os agentes envolvidos no processo edu-cativo e como isso se reflete nas práticas pedagógicas. Para isso, a presente pesquisa valer-se-á de uma revisão bibliográfica qualitativa, a qual permitirá uma análise das perspectivas teóri-cas e das práticas digitais na seara educacional.

Published: September 2023

In this study, chemical properties of particulate matter (PM1) present in the urban area of Ansan in 2021 were analyzed using a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS). Intensive observation was conducted during the measurement periods of spring (22 days), summer (29 days), autumn (60 days), and winter (29 days). High concentrations of PM1 were observed when a wind speed was low (< 0.81 m/s) and a direction of air flow was the east. PM1 concentration was the highest in spring (March), followed by summer (June and August), winter (December), and autumn (September and October). The main components of PM1 were organic, followed by nitrate, ammonium, and sulfate. The ratio of organic oxygen to organic carbon (O/C) was high in summer (0.64) and low in winter (0.51); conversely, the ratio of organic hydrogen to organic carbon (H/C) was higher in winter (1.66) than in summer (1.58). As for the oxidation rates of inorganic components, the nitrogen oxidation rate and sulfur oxidation rate were the highest in spring (NOR, 0.12; SOR, 0.64), which directly affected the rise in PM1 mass concentration in spring. Highly soluble nitrate was the largest component among the inorganic components of PM1, and the PM1 was found to be rich in ammonium in all seasons. PM1 mass concentration and chemical composition increased with an increase of relative humidity (RH): the concentration of PM1 in wet conditions (RH > 60%) was found to be more than twice of that in dry conditions (RH < 40%). The largest component of PM1 in Ansan consisted of organic compounds; however, a high proportion of inorganic components, including nitrate, was also recorded.

The current article deals with the stage of life in the first month of a baby. As it is critical & evident, the first stage of life is critical as the child is highly risky not only to morbidity but also to mortality. It is an incremental risk that decreases with the passage of time in the first month of life. This decrease can be achieved at a very low cost & that too at home without support of any skilled health provider. The article discusses these risks in the past at the global level & at the national level. It uses the mortality indicator to assess the risks of the newborn. Further, it establishes the concept of health economics through the low cost involved to deal with these risks at the household level. A direct relationship is established between the mortality indicator & the low cost involved. A newborn struggle in the first month of his or her life as is evident from mythology that Lord Krishna too had a turbulent neonatal stage. The struggle of newborns continues in India even today. The current Neonatal Mortality Rate in India is 20 per 1000 live births as per SRS & 24.9 as per NFHS 5. The high neonatal mortality in India stands as a testimony to this fact as reducing this indicator is a priority. The current article focuses on the initiatives of the role of health economics in public health system to address neonatal mortality. Basically, there are two approaches to reduce neonatal mortality. These are Home Based Neonatal Care (HBNC) practices and the Facility Based Neonatal Care (FBNC) practices. The article focuses exclusively on the first approach which is HBNC & sees the role of health economics in this approach. The article cites the history of health economics in India & the concept of need, supply & demand aspects of health services. Following that, the article sees the HBNC approach in health economics & the process to upscale the approach to reduce NMR & thereby IMR thus fulfilling the developmental objectives of the nation. .................
Asymmetric Effects of Cereal Crops on Agriculture Economic Growth: Case Study of Pakistan
Authors: Nisa Zaib-Un-
Published: September 2023

Agricultural marketing includes all activities which add value to agricultural products as they move from areas of agricultural production to ultimate consumption points. An effective and efficient marketing system is required in order to ensure fair returns to stakeholders but unfortunately little attention was paid to this sector in Pakistan. This resulted in welfare risk to stakeholders as price variation and values are common phenomena in the country. Public and private sectors jointly run agricultural marketing system in the country, as public sector is responsible for framing and implementing rules and regulation whereas private sector operates the system. Agricultural markets are governed under the Agricultural Produce Markets Ordinance 1978 which needs to be updated Due to poor post-harvest management practices, almost 25-40% produce is wasted which caused considerable value losses. In this chapter, an effort has been made to describe theoretical foundation of agricultural marketing along with highlighting the marketing system of major and minor agricultural commodities in Pakistan and the role of various institutions and regulations. Marketing efficiency is often understood in terms of marketing margins, physical losses and state of market competition. These indicators are also discussed in this chapter. Further, a section is devoted to identify major agricultural marketing problems with their possible solutions
The Role of Courts in Arbitration in Ethiopia under Proclamation No. 1237/2021
Authors: Kidanemariam Samuel Getachew
Published: September 2023

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism that produces a binding decision on the parties, unlike other ADR mechanisms. Though it is an entirely private process, the involvements of national courts are essential and inevitable in different stages of commercial arbitration processes. Ethiopian courts assume a broader role in arbitration processes before the coming into force of arbitration and Conciliation, working Procedure Proclamation No.1237 /2021. Such broader functions of courts emanate from the former legal regime governing arbitration in Ethiopia. This article evaluates and describes the role of Ethiopian courts in arbitration processes that are conferred by Arbitration and Conciliation, working Procedure Proclamation No.1237 /2021. The study used a doctrinal legal research method. Analysis of the proclamation and other relevant international instruments indicates that the role of Ethiopian courts in Commercial arbitration is minimal.

Authors: Airaoje Ojemeiri Karl , Obada Aruaye Afeye , Msughter Aondover Eric
Published: September 2023

During the Covid-19 pandemic, women and girls around the world have been subjected to sexual and physical violence, which has never happened before. Women are killed in the name of honor in Asia and the Middle East, while girls in West Africa are subjected to genital mutilation in the name of tradition. Because the perpetrators believe that sex with virgins will cure them of their disease, young girls in Southern Africa are raped and infected with HIV/AIDS. According to the findings, the majority of Nigerian women have been victims of gender-based violence, such as incest, rape, physical abuse, verbal abuse, denial of food, forced marriage, and early child marriage. The findings of the study also revealed that age, employment, educational attainment, witnessing a mother being beaten as a child, family type, duration of union, participation in household decision-making, employment status relative to woman, differences in educational qualification between a male partner and woman, attitudes toward wife-beating among men and women, and male right to discipline or control females are all factors that contribute to gender-based violence. Sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, physical injuries, immediate psychological reactions such as shock, shame, guilt, and anger; and long-term psychological outcomes such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicidal ideation, lack of sexual pleasure, and fears are all health consequences of gender-based violence. The study concludes that gender-based violence has a negative impact not only on women and their reproductive health but also on Nigeria's economy and progress.

Published: September 2023

Women's empowerment is the most debated topic in world literature today. It is one of the Millennium Development Goals in relation to microfinance programmes; a latest issue in the microcredit literature. Not only was Grameen Bank founder Dr. Younus awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize in Bangladesh's micro-credit program, but it has also been a hot topic for researchers since its introduction in the mid-1990s to 1970s. This study considers women's empowerment empirically, as it is very difficult to measure this qualitative term. An attempt has been made to develop an Empowerment Index that has three important dimensions. Regression analysis is used to compare women's empowerment between microcredit borrowers and non-borrowers. The results obtained show that borrowed women obtained higher points in the Empowerment Index. Women's education and household education, community norms, and the impact of the media have also been observed to be significant factors in women's empowerment.

The corona virus (COVID-19) is an enveloped RNA virus with diverse origins in both people and wildlife. It has been determined that six separate species are the cause of human disease. Viral infections have a significant impact on human disease, and one of the most recent worldwide epidemics is the emergence of the new corona. The SS-RNA virus from the enveloped corona virus family is what caused the potentially lethal SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) virus. In many countries throughout the world, sickness is spreading quickly. As of March 26, 2020, there has been 462,684 confirmed cases and 20,834 fatalities documented abroad. COVID-19 was deemed a pandemic by the World Health Organisation (WHO) on March 11, 2020. Numerous drug studies are now underway, and some of the results are positive. The only way to combat the virus, however, is through preventative measures as there is no vaccination. The goal of the current study was to use a molecular docking approach to evaluate flavonoids's potential against SAR-CoV-2 infection. Elucidation of the proposed mechanism of action of natural flavonoid (Quercetin, Isorhametin, Rutin and Tamaraxiten) against SAR-CoV-2 infection.

This research was conducted to describe and analyze the Implementation of Restrictions on the Use of Plastic Shopping Bags in Modern Retailers based on Jambi Mayor Regulation Number 61 of 2018 concerning Restrictions on the Use of Plastic Shopping Bags at the Jambi City Environment Service. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research with an inductive approach with the aim of a clear, in-depth and systematic description of the Implementation of restrictions on the use of plastic shopping bags in modern retail. This policy aims to reduce the use of plastic or single-use shopping bags. The focus of this research consists of four aspects: communication, resources, disposition, bureaucratic structure, and the driving factors and inhibiting factors for implementing restrictions on the use of plastic shopping bags at the Jambi City Environment Service. Data collection techniques, namely, interview techniques, observation and documentation, were analyzed using data reduction, data presentation and concluding. The results of this study state that policy implementation has not been optimal because there are still constraints from human resources and limited budgets, and there is no standard operating procedure (SOP) in policy implementation. Business actors are required to implement non-plastic bags, and business actors carry out communication, information and education strategies to consumers, but this has yet to be realized optimally. Public legal awareness still needs to be improved in fulfilling this policy.

Published: September 2023

Strongyloidiasis is a soil-borne disease caused by nematodes of the genus Strongyloides. The species most relevant to human health is S. stercoralis. The infection can persist for life if left untreated and occurs in various clinical forms, from asymptomatic to death. It mainly affects tropical and subtropical regions, with an estimated 370 million people affected worldwide, including Mexico. The life cycle of this parasite is complex, with free-living and parasitic stages. Infective filariform larvae penetrate intact skin, reach the lungs and are swallowed, developing in the intestine. Diagnosis is challenging and is based on the detection of larvae in biological samples, as well as serological and molecular tests. The main treatment is ivermectin, effective against adult forms, but multiple rounds may be necessary due to the autoinfectious cycle. Immunocompromised people are more susceptible to severe and disseminated infections. The lack of awareness and resources in endemic areas makes timely diagnosis and treatment difficult. Strongyloidiasis is a neglected disease, receiving less attention and funding for research and treatment development. To address it, efforts are required in education, improvement of the health infrastructure, research and prevention strategies.

Fungal surgical site infections (SSIs) trend to increase in the recent decades. This study aimed at estimating the prevalence of fungal SSIs, and the time of occurrence of fungal SSIs at the Sourô Sanou University Hospital (SSUHC) in Burkina Faso. This study was carried out in two departments of the SSUHC. Samples of postoperative purulent secretions were collected from June to December 2019. Purulent secretions swabs at the surgical site were aseptically collected using sterile cotton swabs. Standard mycology, CHROMagar, agglutination latex test and immunological test were used to identify the different Candida species. A total of 39 postoperative patients were included in the study. The median age was 27 years and the majority of patients were women (74.4%). The probability of isolating fungal agents from the surgical site was 2.6% three days after surgery. This probability was 14.4% and 49.5% at one week and 12 days after the surgical intervention, respectively. A total of 8 (20.51%) fungal species, all belonging to the genus Candida were identified in the study. These species were Candida albicans (3), Nakaseomyces glabrata (2), Candida tropicalis (2) and Pichia kudriavzevii (1). This study showed that Candida spp. could be the cause of the occurrence of SSIs at the SSUHC in Burkina Faso. So, physician must integrate the fungal causes in the management of SSIs.

Authors: Trzepieciński Tomasz , Luiz Valmir Dias , Szpunar Marcin
Published: September 2023

In sheet metal forming, draw beads are used to limit the flow of sheet metal in specific areas of the stamping die. The value of the coefficient of friction at the draw bead determines achievement of the desired resistance to sheet displacement. This article presents the results of experimental tests for determining the coefficient of friction on a draw bead using a specially developed tribotester. The test material consisted of CuZn37, CuZn30 and CuZn10 brass sheets in various states of hardening. Investigations were carried out with different roughness of the countersamples and sliding speeds. In addition, the tests were carried out under conditions of dry friction and lubrication of the sheet surface with LAN-46 machine oil. The relationships between the process parameters and the value of the coefficient of friction were analysed using the analysis of variance. It was found that the coefficient of friction decreases with increasing mean roughness of the countersamples. Lubrication reduced friction by about 6.2-29.8% depending on the grade of the tested sheet and the sliding speed.
INCIDENCE OF HEAT TREATMENT ON THE CORROSIVE BEHAVIOR OF AISI 316L AUSTENITIC STAINLESS STEEL
Authors: Inés Mariano Nicolás , Mansilla Graciela Analía
Published: September 2023

Heat treatments of AISI 316L samples were conducted at 900°C with slow cooling in air to induce varied precipitation of chromium-rich carbide particles at grain boundaries, resulting in a microstructure susceptible to intergranular corrosion. The corrosion behavior of the material in this state was investigated in a salt spray chamber containing 5% NaCl. The temperature inside the chamber was set at 35°C, while the saturated air temperature was recorded at 47°C. Samples were periodically extracted for observation and analysis using a stereoscopic magnifying glass, optical microscope, and scanning electron microscope. The results revealed the detrimental effect of chloride ions on the corrosion behavior of these stainless steels. Metallographic examination of corroded specimens after the salt spray test confirmed that the passive layer's breakdown was responsible for the intergranular corrosion occurring along preferential paths of chromium carbides.

рассматривается задача модификации модели и алгоритма аддитивной последовательной (конвейерной) обработки движущегося протяженного объекта с целью применения в некоторых задачах логистики. Алгоритм конвейерной обработки в первоначальной версии связан с задачей принудительного охлаждения полосы горячей прокатки и содержит три модуля. Эти модули соответствуют режимам пассивного охлаждения полосы до входа в активную зону, принудительного охлаждения в активной зоне и пассивного охлаждения после выхода из активной зоны до момента смотки. Наиболее важной частью алгоритма является модуль расчета режимов работы душирующих установок в активной зоне. Этот модуль может быть адаптирован для применения в некоторых задачах логистики, связанных с составлением графиков доставки (или получения) грузов при наличии последовательности транспортных средств и последовательности терминалов. В задаче доставки (или получения) грузов заданы емкости транспортных средств и мощности терминалов. Мощность терминала понимается как количество условных единиц груза, которые можно разгрузить (или получить) одномоментно в данном терминале. Каждое транспортное средство осуществляет разгрузку (или погрузку) последовательно в нескольких терминалах, при этом выбор соответствующих активных терминалов из общей последовательности всех терминалов (составление путевого листа) определяется модифицированной версией алгоритма конвейерной обработки

the problem of modifying the model and algorithm of additive sequential (conveyor) processing of a moving extended object is considered for the purpose of application in some problems of logistics. The conveyor processing algorithm in the initial version is associated with the problem of forced cooling of the hot strip and contains three modules. These modules correspond to the modes of passive cooling of the strip before entering the core, forced cooling in the core, and passive cooling after leaving the core until the moment of winding. The most important part of the algorithm is the module for calculating the operating modes of shower installations in the core. This module can be adapted for use in some logistics tasks related to scheduling the delivery (or receipt) of goods in the presence of a sequence of vehicles and a sequence of terminals. In the problem of delivery (or receipt) of goods, the capacities of vehicles and the capacities of terminals are specified. The capacity of the terminal is understood as the number of conventional units of cargo that can be unloaded (or received) at the same time in this terminal. Each vehicle performs unloading (or loading) sequentially in several terminals, while the selection of the corresponding active terminals from the total sequence of all terminals (drawing up a waybill) is determined by a modified version of the pipeline processing algorithm

предложены два сложнофункциональных (СФ/IP) блока операционных усилителей (ОУ), построенных на n-канальной и р-канальной дифференциальных парах. ОУ являются универсальными блоками, на основе которых можно построить множество различных электронных узлов. В настоящее время ОУ получили широкое применение как в виде отдельных чипов, так и в виде IP-блоков в составе более сложных интегральных схем. Разработанные IP-блоки ОУ предназначены для применения в интегральных схемах линейных стабилизаторов напряжения в качестве усилителей ошибки. В стабилизаторах напряжения усилитель ошибки выполняет ключевую роль, сравнивая опорное напряжение с выходным (или частью выходного) напряжением, и управляет проходным элементом для обеспечения этого равенства. Представлены описание электрических схем усилителей, основные электрические характеристики, результаты моделирования, указаны особенности разработки топологии интегральной схемы. ОУ разработаны на базе отечественного технологического процесса с проектными нормами 3 мкм. Разработка схемы и топологии проводилась в специализированной системе автоматизированного проектирования интегральных схем. Для моделирования схемы использовались сертифицированные математические модели полупроводниковых приборов. Разработанные топологии ОУ прошли верификацию, состоящую из проверки соблюдения проектных норм (Design rule check, DRC), восстановления электрической схемы из топологии и сравнения топологии с исходной схемой (Layout vs Schematic, LVS)

the article proposes two IP blocks of operational amplifiers (op-amps) built on n-channel and p-channel differential pairs. Op-amps are universal blocks on the basis of which you can build many different electronic devices. Currently, op amps are widely used, both in the form of individual chips and as IP blocks as part of more complex integrated circuits. The developed IP blocks are intended for use in integrated circuits of linear voltage stabilizers as error amplifiers. In voltage regulators, the error amplifier plays a key role by comparing the reference voltage to the output (or part of the output voltage) voltage and drives the pass element to ensure this equality. The description of the electrical circuits of amplifiers, the main electrical characteristics, the results of modeling are presented, the features of the development of the integrated circuit topology are indicated. The op amps are developed on the basis of the domestic BiCMOS technological process with design standards of 3 µm. The development of the scheme and topology was carried out in a specialized system for automated design of integrated circuits. To model the circuit, certified mathematical models of semiconductor devices were used. The developed layouts of the op-amp have passed verification, consisting of checking compliance with design standards (Design rule check, DRC), restoring the electrical circuit from the layout and comparing the layout with the original circuit (Layout vs Schematic, LVS)

Se busca identificar zonas de contacto entre las obras de Ramón Illán Bacca y Juan Cárdenas a partir de una propuesta crítico-teórica acerca de los trayectos trazados por la escritura del reverso en la literatura colombiana reciente. La hipótesis propuesta es que las obras de estos dos escritores, particularmente las novelas Deborah Kruel (1990) y Elástico de sombra (2019), coinciden en acudir a procedimientos técnicos vinculados al pensamiento descosido —término propuesto por Severo Sarduy— en tanto puesta en acción de un imaginario dinámico que activa un proceso de sublevación de la imagen, con el cual se genera la escritura del reverso, mecanismo que explica el filósofo Bruno Mazzoldi.
Dominar al animal que lo(s) habita: vidas a memorializar en "El policía de las ratas", de Roberto Bolaño
Authors: García-Arango Lis
Published: September 2023

Se profundiza en las principales características del cuento “El policía de las ratas”, de Roberto Bolaño, que aborda la temática animal desde el género policial. A partir de la mirada del autor a la infravida de las ratas de alcantarilla, se reivindica a estos animales sin voz y políticamente minoritarios. El reparto de lo sensible en Bolaño, la personización de los personajes y la exploración de ciertos paisajes de la ciudad sitúan al texto en un ‘entre’ donde confluyen la sociedad de las alcantarillas y la humana. El artículo pretende describir esta relación discursiva en función de las tesis de Jacques Rancière sobre política de la literatura; de Roberto Esposito acerca de las nociones de persona, no-persona y cosa en el libro Las personas y las cosas (2016); y de Gabriel Giorgi en torno al cuerpo, el cadáver y la comunidad en Formas comunes. Animalidad, cultura, biopolítica (2014).

Authors: Bernal-Sandoval Nathaly

En el poema Snap Dragon, Lawrence utiliza la metáfora de una flor para explorar temas de sensualidad y sexualidad, esta se describe manera detallada y vívida, resaltando su belleza y su conexión con los instintos y deseos humanos.

Todo lo anterior es prodigiosamente capturado por Nathaly Bernal en su traducción que da honor al trabajo de Lawrence.

Números y figuras geométricas como esquemas del Universo. Hora de junio, de Carlos Pellicer
Authors: Rosas-Martínez Alfredo
Published: September 2023

En el poemario Hora de junio, de Carlos Pellicer, el primer poema, “Esquemas para una oda tropical”, y el último, “La voz”, determinan la estructura circular y el sentido de todo el libro. El término ‘esquemas’ remite a la concepción simbólica, mítica y arquetípica del universo, basada en la numerología y en varias figuras geométricas. En relación con lo simbólico, es fundamental la presencia de los números 4 y 5; en cuanto a lo mítico, el mito personal del escritor se relaciona con Quetzalcóatl, así como con el planeta Venus y con Lucifer. En el ámbito de lo arquetípico, es esencial la presencia del mandala, el ouroboros, el quincunce y el tonallo.
«Cantar de infortunio», de Cecília Meireles
Authors: Barrós Manuel
Published: September 2023

Este es un canto lírico que nos sumerge en la profundidad de la existencia y la naturaleza efímera de la vida. El autor utiliza una serie de metáforas poéticas para transmitir la sensación de desventura y la búsqueda constante de significado en medio de la oscuridad y la incertidumbre.

La repetición del verso "Es necesario cantar" enfatiza la necesidad innata de expresión y comunicación humana, incluso en medio de la desesperación y la soledad. La obra sugiere que a pesar de las dificultades y las preguntas sin respuesta, la música y la poesía siguen siendo una forma de iluminar el camino y encontrar un sentido en la vida.
Celebración y recontextualización de la lírica náhuatl en el Canto a México, de Ernesto Cardenal
Authors: Mahop Ma Mahop Romuald Achille
Published: September 2023

Pocos meses antes de su fallecimiento, Ernesto Cardenal (1925-2020) publicó el Canto a México (2019), una colección de poemas consagrados a las civilizaciones del México antiguo. Se trató de la primera antología que el poeta consagró a los pueblos mesoamericanos, textos que, hasta este momento, habían figurado como partes de libros anteriores, en particular desde el Homenaje a los indios americanos (1969) hasta Los ovnis de oro. Poemas indios (1992), que conoció sucesivas reediciones y ampliaciones. El presente estudio reflexiona sobre el significado de la publicación de semejante agrupación temática en los últimos momentos de la vida de Cardenal, colección que clausura simbólicamente la trayectoria del nicaragüense. Se analizan, por una parte, los recursos textuales de la celebración de la poesía precortesiana y, por otra, la recontextualización del legado prehispánico y los significados que emergen de la inserción de tales discursos en el tiempo y las sociedades actuales.
El silencio voraz (selección)
Authors: España-Eraso Jonathan Alexander
Published: September 2023

En esta antología de poemas, el lector se sumerge en un viaje profundo a través del acto de escribir y su intrincada relación con la vida, la muerte y la transformación. El poeta se encuentra rodeado de la nieve que tiñe sus pensamientos y emociones, enfrentando el riesgo de la expresión. Cada verso representa un paso en el camino de la creación poética, donde las palabras se convierten en agujeros en el cuerpo, y la escritura misma se asemeja a una borradura que indica y luego se desvanece.

La metáfora del cisne zambulléndose en la tinta sugiere una belleza profunda y un renacimiento a través de la escritura, incluso en medio de la desolación y la nostalgia de la infancia. El poema se convierte en un acto mágico que evoca palabras como lluvia y busca mantener a la muerte alejada. Esta composición es un testimonio de la poderosa y misteriosa conexión entre el poeta y las palabras, una danza entre la vida y la escritura que revela la esencia misma de la creación poética.

Authors: Jan Vincent S. Carmen
Published: September 2023

The study assessed the implementation of #BeCyberSafe Project in the Second Congressional District in the Province of Tarlac. It included 219 teachers, 86 non-teaching staff, 240 parents, and 370 students as the study’s respondents. The study used a quantitative research approach. It was revealed that the four groups of respondents perceived the overall implementation of #BeCyberSafe Project as highly implemented, but, there are no statistically significant differences on the perceived level of implementation of the respondents when they are grouped accordingly. Moreover, it was also revealed that the #BeCyberSafe project for the respondents is highly impactful for their cognitive, psychomotor, and affective development. Consequently, the results showed that there are no statistically significant differences on the perceived level of the impact of the implementation of the respondents when they are grouped accordingly. As a result, it is recommended that more respondents (e.g., body of Local Government Unit personnel, etc.) should be included in the study so their perceptions on the implementation of the #BeCyberSafe Project can be added to the bases of the overall assessment of the success of the said project.

LOAD PROFILE OF WORKFORCE USING WESTINGHOUSE METHOD IN WAREHOUSE WORK SYSTEM
Authors: Aji Sonny , Aina Nindiani
Published: September 2023

Workers play a crucial role in a company, and their workload significantly influences productivity. This research was conducted in a manufacturing company, specifically in the Warehouse Department (storage section), due to indications of low productivity. The research objective was to analyze the workload profiles of workers in the storage section of the manufacturing company’s warehouse. The analysis was conducted using the Westinghouse method, which considers skill, effort, condition, and consistency in analyzing work time. Cycle time to standard time was calculated considering rating factors and allowances. The research results revealed that the four workers in this section experienced workload levels of 68% for Worker 1, 28% for Worker 2, 57% for Worker 3, and 50% for Worker 4. Overall, the workers exhibited an underloaded workload profile. The highest underload was observed in Worker 2, indicating the lowest productivity among the four workers. Based on these findings, it is recommended to enrich the job tasks for workers in the warehouse or consider transferring them to other departments that require additional workforce to improve the current work system in the warehouse.
