La Construcción de identidad universitaria: propuesta de una metodología para las Instituciones de Educación Superior
Authors: Valdez Zepeda Andrés , Huerta Franco Delia Amparo , Flores Zepeda Miguel
Published: September 2019

Varias instituciones de educación superior, como la Universidad de Guadalajara, si bien existen acciones aisladas en materia de fomento de la identidad universitaria, no existe una política institucional que articule las acciones y medidas que se impulsan por las diferentes dependencias. El trabajo sugiere una metodología para el diagnóstico y reforzamiento de la identidad universitaria. Además, se describe el proceso de formación y erosión de la identidad, así como se propone una escala de medición de los niveles de identidad universitaria. Se ejemplifica, con un estudio cuantitativo realizado con el objetivo de medir el nivel de identidad en la Universidad de Guadalajara (México). Se concluye que la identidad universitaria se constituye en un medio muy importante para impulsar el posicionamiento, el branding y la competitividad en las instituciones de educación superior y el desarrollo comunitario. En este sentido, el fomento de la identidad debe ser considerada como parte estratégica de una política de toda institución de educación, principalmente de las instituciones de educación media y superior. Es decir, la identidad universitaria puede ser promovida a partir de un programa institucional.

Authors: Balvin Landeo Luisabel Elvira
Published: September 2019

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre institucionalidad ambiental y gestión de conflictos socioambientales en la región Junín: caso Morococha, así como la relación entre principios de la gestión ambiental y demandas del conflicto, Sistema Nacional de Gestión Ambiental y gestión del conflicto, y la relación entre el Sistema Nacional de Evaluación y Fiscalización Ambiental y participación ciudadana. Se desarrolló una investigación aplicada, de nivel descriptivo correlacional, con un diseño no experimental transversal y enfoque metodológico mixto. Se aplicaron 20 cuestionarios a representantes de instituciones con competencias en conflictos socioambientales y de asociaciones participantes en la Mesa de Diálogo para el Reasentamiento Poblacional de Morococha; las técnicas empleadas fueron la observación participante y el análisis documentario. Los resultados mostraron que la institucionalidad ambiental en el Perú y sus implicancias a nivel regional y local no han permitido una adecuada gestión del conflicto socioambiental en Morococha, lugar donde se desarrolla el proyecto minero Toromocho; pues se encontró una correlación de 0.478, calificada como positiva débil. Asimismo, se debe considerar que aproximadamente el 62.8 % de conflictos sociales en el Perú son de tipo socioambiental, según reportes de la Defensoría del Pueblo (marzo, 2019) y más de 10 años de gestión del conflicto. En conclusión, se hace necesario el fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad ambiental para una adecuada gestión y prevención de conflictos socioambientales, en especial la práctica de la transectorialidad como principio de la Política Nacional del Ambiente y un adecuado Sistema Nacional de Gestión Ambiental.

Este artículo aborda el análisis de los resultados obtenidos en la investigación de tipo exploratorio realizada durante la formación académica, que tuvo como objetivo distinguir cómo las transformaciones socioculturales influyen en los cambios de roles y en el ejercicio de la autoridad en la familia, desde la perspectiva profesional de los docentes y padres de familia pertenecientes a la Institución Educativa Nuevo Compartir de la comuna 1 del municipio de Soacha. Se observó una transformación de la autoridad parental que se desprende de una evolución historica, en cuanto al comportamiento de la sociedad y a las diferentes perspectivas que se ven inmersas en el papel social de cada individuo, rompiendo con el paradigma tradicional de un rol patriarcal, y dando paso así, a nuevos paradigmas que están ligados a cambios sociales, tecnológicos, judiciales e ideológicos que propician un cambio en los roles y dinámicas familiares.
Interculturalidad e identidad, un encuentro dialógico
Authors: Medrano Osorio Rubén Américo
Published: September 2019

El artículo busca comprender cómo la interculturalidad se funda y se recrea a partir de una percepción sociocultural muy dinámica considerando la diversidad como espacio, que no solo es étnica, sino también cultural. Es en este contexto donde la interculturalidad adquiere un rol fundamental en la convivencia y en la construcción social. ¿Cómo hacer posible la aproximación intercultural con la identidad, aun sabiendo que sus componentes sociales son viajeros dinámicos, indeterminados y complejos en el mundo andino-amazónico? ¿Cómo, a partir de las identidades, se percibe la realidad en su diversidad? Bajo esta premisa, ¿es posible pensar que todas las culturas pueden compartir componentes sociales comunes? Asimismo, ¿cómo entender a las culturas en su historia, la cual las transformó en seres híbridos y asimétricos culturales por el contexto de rasgos y situaciones sociales que intercambiaron? Nos referimos a las que no escaparon de las simetrías circunstanciales del proceso histórico. En síntesis, este mosaico cultural nuestro, ¿cómo comprenderlo en el marco de la interculturalidad del área andino-amazónica? y ¿cuáles son los retos que esta realidad plantea frente a la modernidad?

Published: September 2019

In the course of this study, compositions and designed structures for the polysulfone (PSF) and short glass fibers systems were calculated. Additionally, disperse-filled polymer composite materials (DFPCM) based on PSF-190 were classified in accordance with their respective structures, and the optimal amount of glass fiber (13.5–18.5 vol %) was determined. This article describes the production of DFPCM using PSF and a short glass fiber with a twin-screw extruder (Labtech Engineering Company LTD, model Scientific FIC 20-40). Furthermore, optimal mixing parameters for the creation of composites wherein the glass fiber length exceeds the critical length (lcr) were established. The critical length was calculated, and the curves for fiber size distribution of polysulfone composites were depicted, and a difference in fiber concentration between the dispenser and the extrusion head (up to ~10–15%) was found when the fiber content was at 18–25 vol %. For the first time, optimal parameters (which pertain to medium-filled dispersions) for the structure of DFPCM based on PSF and short glass fiber are able to be demonstrated.

Pisau sembelih merupakan alat penting dalam kegiatan pemotongan ternak besar di rumah pemotongan hewan untuk pemenuhan konsumsi daging bagi masyarakat, selain itu juga peranti pemotongan ternak untuk kepentingan keluarga, upacara adat, dan peribadatan, seperti pada saat Idul Adha. Ketersediaan pisau sembelih dengan kualitas bagus masih menjadi persoalan tersendiri di masyarakat, karena harga pisau buatan pabrik dirasa masih cukup mahal oleh sebagian orang. Telah banyak yang mencoba untuk membuat pisau alternative dengan memanfaatkan berbagai limbah baja, namun hasilnya belum cukup memuaskan. Kualitas pisau sembelih hewan sangat dipengaruhi oleh tingkat kekerasan dan ketangguhan material pisau yang optimal. Sifat tersebut sangat dipengaruhi oleh komposisi kimia dan struktur mikro material. Untuk mencapai struktur mikro yang dapat memberikan kombinasi sifat keras dan tangguh pisau, maka diperlukan perlakuan panas (heat treatment) yang memadai. Dalam penelitian ini telah dilakukan daur ulang limbah pegas daun mobil yang memiliki kekerasan 419HV dan 460HV serta struktur mikro matrik martensit temper untuk dibuat bilah pisau melalui proses tempa tangan dan perlakuan panas menggunakan media pendingin yang berbeda, yaitu air, oli mesin bekas, dan batang pohon pisang. Pengujian yang dilakukan meliputi uji komposisi kimia, uji metalografi dan uji kekerasan. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan pisau percobaan A pada daerah mata pisau mencapai 730HV dengan struktur mikro martensit dan karbida krom, dan pada daerah tumpul kekerasannya turun pada level 313 HV dengan struktur martensit dan austenit sisa. Sementara itu pisau percobaan B yang dikeraskan secara menyeluruh mencapai kekerasan 627HV dan struktur mikro martensit dengan karbida krom halus menyebar rata. Hasil percobaan pembuatan pisau yang diperoleh mendekati sifat mekanik pisau impor X yang memiliki struktur mikro matrik martensit temper dengan karbida dan level kekerasannya 640 HV. Disimpulkan bahwa kedua pegas cukup bagus untuk material alternatif untuk bilah pisau sembelih hewan yang dimanfaatkan di rumah pemotongan hewan.

Published: September 2019

Xa den young branches in the orchard were sterilized and used as explants for shoot initiation and growth experiments. The shoot induction was carried out with BA (benzyl adenine) or TDZ (thidiazuron). New shoots sprouted after one week of culture and the highest shoots (2.02 cm) were on MS medium (Murashige and Skoog medium) with BA 0.6 mg/L after 3 weeks. Furthermore, the number of leaves per shoot was also higher than other treatments (8.31 leaves per shoot). In vitro shoots were used in other experiments to investigate the effects of explants, biotin concentrations, minerals, type and concentration of cytokinins on the formation and elongation of shoots and clusters. When 5 mg/L biotin was added to MS medium, shoots grew better. The MS medium appeared to be most suitable for the initiation and elongating of shoots, followed by WPM (woody plant medium) and SH medium (Schenk and Hildebrandt medium), while B5 medium (Gamborg B5 medium) was the least effective. The spouting from three-week-old explants was earlier than others (4 and 5 weeks of age), which in turn affected on the shoot elongating. BA 1.5 mg/L was suitable to induce shoot clusters (3.91 shoots per explant) after 4 weeks.

Published: September 2019

The precise origin of cervical vertebral anomalies is still unstated, but it has been suggested that the association between abnormal development of cervical vertebrae and the maxilla and the mandible might be caused by a developmental fault of the mesenchyme as these structures might be dependent on the similar para-axial mesoderm. Hence it is appropriate to focus on this area of research and to consider the craniofacial morphology as an important diagnostic tool in Orthodontic treatment planning. The present study was planned to evaluate the association of Cleft lip and Cleft palate with cervical vertebral anomalies.

The present study was planned in Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry, Buddha Institute of Dental Sciences & Hospital, Patna, Bihar, India. Thirty cases of Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate (CLCP) patients were enrolled in the present study. The age of the patients ranged from 5 years to 15 years. The cleft sample were subdivided into patients with CP only, and unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP). Radiographs were examined on a film viewer by a single examiner. The profile of first four cervical vertebrae and Atlanto Occipital Articulation were structurally traced on an acetate paper with 3H lead pencil under optimum illumination and Cervical Vertebral Anomalies (CVA) were registered and categorized into Posterior Arch Deficiencies - PAD (dehiscence and spina bifid) and fusion.

The present study concludes the association between cleft lip and palate and Cervical Vertebral Anomalies indicating that CVA may be implicated as the etiology of cleft lip and palate. The present study showed a specific relation between the Cleft Palate and cervical anomalies and the vertebral anomalies following a specific pattern in different types of cleft was found to be PAD which occurred more frequently in UCLP and CP only and fusion occurring significantly more often in BCLP.

Material & Methods:  The teeth with acrylic restorations were randomly divided into 6 groups of 6 specimens each. Each group received different types of temporary cement. Acrylic resin crowns were made and fitted on intact human premolars with the 4 cements. All restorations were applied in a standardized manner. Specimen were submerged in a 2% methylene blue solution, then sectioned and observed under a stereomicroscope for the detection of marginal microleakage. Obtained data were subjected to ANNOVA and Chi –square test to know statistical significant difference between different groups.  P value less than 0.05 was considered significant.

Results and observation: Mean frequency of microleakage was statistically significant among all the groups under study with Pvalue<0.017.

Conclusion: Among all the temporary cement, Zinc-phosphate cements has the best property with reduced microleakage. Even it is used as cavity base but can be used as good temporary cement as far as microleakage is concerned.

Authors: Basera Dr. Harish , Pant Dr. K.C.
Published: September 2019

Introduction: Thyroid hormone deficiency can lead to adverse health effects even death, if left untreated. It is a pathological condition known as hypothyroidism. Most common symptoms of hypothyroidism in adults are weight gain, fatigue, lethargy, cold intolerance, constipation, and dry skin. These clinical presentations can differ with age and sex, among other factors. Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), is associated with an increased risk of developing a number of clinical conditions, like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, lung disease, malignant condition, and psychiatric disorders, both before and after the diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the chronic endocrine disease which is characterized by hyperglycemia resulting in impaired insulin secretion insulin resistance.

Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at OPD of Dept. of Medicine at Govt. Doon Medical College and Hospital. The study period was between jan2019 to August 2019. The anthropometric measurements and demographic characteristics of patients included in the study were recorded. The clinical details and medications are entered into Excel sheet of Microsoft Excel 2013. Biochemical tests were done and reports were entered.

Results: Prevalence of hypothyroidism in T2DM is found to be 10.94% in our study. Average BMI was observed to be 28.01 kg/m2 with SD of 3.39 kg/m2. Level of T3 and T4 were observed to be 0.98(0.23) ng/ml and 1.24(0.29) ng/ml respectively. Fasting blood glucose level was 133.05(17.81) mg/dl and post prandial blood glucose level was 201.54(27.33) mg/dl. Among all 112 patients, 71(63.39%) of cases had a family history of diabetes.

Conclusion: It is noted that one-tenth of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus has hypothyroidism. BMI was noted to be more than 28 kg/m2 among all patients. Hypothyroidism may be prevalent in T2DM patients due to duration of diabetes, obesity. To confirm the findings, more studies in this area are required.

Authors: SR Santhosh , Kumar Ashwini
Published: September 2019

Estimation of therapeutic levels of Imatinib and its correlation with clinical response has become important to monitor response of this drug in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. Various attempts have been made to develop quantitative protocols for imatinib in human serum using different analytical tools. A simple, sensitive and specific quantitative method was developed in the present study for monitoring of imatinib levels in human serum by applying high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and QQQ tandem mass spectrometry. An efficient simple sample extraction method was developed using solid phase extraction (SPE) method for extraction of imatinib in human serum with a recovery of around 80-85%. The developed method was successfully tested on 30 human serum samples who have been receiving imatinib for CML.

Published: September 2019

Background: The newer adjutants for spinal anaesthesia (SA) have seen numerous modifications over the last two decades. Various doses of clonidine have been tried in past but optimal dose which balances the ill effects has to be discovered. Therefore, this study was designed to study the effect of clonidine as an adjuvant in SA in terms of duration and complication.

Methods: Two groups I and II ( with 60 patients each)  received either 3.0 ml of Bupivacaine 0.5% heavy + 0.5 ml of normal saline and 2.5 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% heavy  + 0.5 ml (75µg) of preservative free clonidine respectively. Various haemodynamic parameters and complication were recorded at baseline than 30 min, 1,2,4,6 and 8 hours after SA.

Results: Group II shows that addition of clonidine had altered the heart rate and blood pressure significantly for initial two hour duration(p<0.05). No difference in the onset of sensory and motor blockade in both groups. Majority of patients in both group had level of sensory block upto T7 level. Mean VAS score was significantly lower in group II (p<0.001). Group II has prolonged duration of motor blockade (p< 0.00l). The difference in mean duration of analgesia among both the groups was significant indicating that addition of clonidine prolongs the duration of analgesia (p<0.0001). In group II incidence of hypotension and bradycardia is more as compared to group I.

Conclusion: Intrathecal clonidine in the dose of 75 µg along with bupivacaine 0.5% heavy prolonged postoperative analgesia and motor blockade. It produces sedation in which patients were asleep and easily arousal and haemodynamic changes which could be easily managed.

INTRODUCTION: Coronary heart diseases (CHD) is the most common serious disease in developed countries and an acute developing health problem in developing countries and have imposed numerous social and economic costs in developed countries. It is known that MI is caused by smoking, which also causes endothelial dysfunction. There are about 80% cases of MI in developing countries but the studies on risk factors are mostly done in countries which are developed.  It seems to be important to emphasize on studies on risk factors of MI. The mortality of these diseases are shown to increase in developing countries due to lack of familiarity with risk factors associated to coronary heart diseases and failure to comply with preventive measures. 

MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this prospective case-control study information was collected on demographic characteristics, history of cardiovascular disease, lifestyle (smoking) and risk factors using structured questionnaire. Critically ill patients with HIV/AIDS or other major diseases like liver failure, kidney failure, etc. were excluded from the study.

RESULTS: In present study 118 cases and same number of matched controls were included. It was found that in this study, 97(82.2%) cases had smoking habits whereas 61(51.7%) of controls were smokers. Statistically significant smokers were observed in cases. Among all MI patients, 76(64.4%) had family history of CAD while it was present in 32.2% non-MI patient, difference was statistically significant. A significant proportion of cases (72.3%) had high serum lipid levels compared to controls (43.2%). Among all cases 94(79.7%) were hypertensive and 82(69.5%) controls suffered from hypertension, but the difference was not statistically significant. Prevalence of diabetes among cases 72(61.0%) and controls 68(57.6%) was not statistically significant, although prevalence was high in cases. 5(4.2%) of cases had Coronary artery bypass graf(CABG). CONCLUSION: Most common predictors of MI in our study were smoking, high serum lipid levels, family history of CAD, hypertension and diabetes. Early identification and modification of the risk factors is important for preventing MI.

Published: September 2019

150 febrile patients included children (50), adult (50) and neonates (50) from outpatient departments and inpatients of private clinics and hospitals. Patients presented with fever and chills for more than 1 day to 3 days, throat infection, ear infection and cold and fever and only fever as the principal symptoms. After clinical examination all the patients were prescribed for Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential count(DC) and C-reactive protein(CRP) tests, and in children below 14 years anti-Streptolysin O(ASO) tests ( 75) were prescribed.

Patients treated with antibiotics previously two weeks before the study period were not included. Qualitative and quantitative tests were performed on all patients’ samples included in the study depending on the need/prescription by the physician or paediatrician. CBC, neutrophil count and CRP have been very useful indicators and significant in the diagnosis and treatment as well as follow-up of the febrile condition of the patients specially in patients suffering with bacterial infections. Even in patients with Dengue and malaria it gives a fair idea if there were leucocytosis or leukopenia, neutrophilia or neutropenia, thrombocytosis or thrombocytopenia.

CBC: Complete blood count, DC: Differential count; MP: malarial parasite, CRP: C-reactive protein, ASO: Anti-Streptolysin O.
