Este libro es producto de la investigación realizada por la Red de Estudios Latinoamericanos en Educación y Pedagogía (RELEP), a la que pertenecen 23 grupos de investigación de diferentes instituciones académicas de México y Colombia. Percepción de los estudiantes de Educación superior de la inclusión en las prácticas docentes ofrece un análisis institucional de la integración de la inclusión en la institución donde se realizó el estudio, ya que la educación inclusiva se basa en la diversidad. Esta investigación presenta un estudio de la inclusión al considerar y agrupar la diversidad en tres grandes bloques: los factores físicos, socioculturales y académicos. Busca establecer un proceso personalizado de enseñanza-aprendizaje a partir de las características de los alumnos que permita entender la segregación y la marginación aun con los obstáculos que representa integrarse a un sistema educativo centrado en la homogeneización con procedimientos de jerarquización, clasificación, diferenciación y selección del alumnado. El propósito de obra es ser una herramienta metodológica, de reflexión y análisis a partir de los resultados que se vierten en ella, esto con el fin de promover el interés por respaldar y poner en un contexto nacional los estudios de esta naturaleza y que se promueva la inclusión en todos los ámbitos del sistema educativo en el nivel superior, no sólo lo relacionado con la práctica docente en las aulas.

Authors: Woo Keng Thye , Lau Yeow Kok , Wong Kok Seng , Zhao Yi , Chan Choong Meng
Published: November 2022

Introduction: IgA nephritis (IgAN) is the most common glomerulonephritis worldwide. We aim to genotype SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) genomewide in patients with IgAN to search for genetic clues to its aetiology.

Materials and Methods: Genotyping for 10,204 SNPs genomewide was done with the Gene Chip Human Mapping 10K Microarray (Affymetrix). Twenty-eight patients with IgAN and 30 normal subjects were screened and analysed for differences in genotype frequency, allele frequency and heterozygosity reduction.

Results: Among the most significantly associated SNPs, 48 SNPs were found mapping directly to the intron of 42 genes that localised in 13 somatic chromosomes and chromosome X. Genotype distribution of these SNPs did not deviate from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in normal subjects. The most significantly associated gene, glial cells missing homolog 1 (GCM, 2 =13.05, P = 0.000) is a transcription factor mapped to 6p12.2. GCM1 reported decreased in placenta of patients with pre-eclampsia. The second gene, Tenascin-R (TNR, 2 = 9.85, P = 0.002) is a glycoprotein and extra-cellular matrix component mapped to 1q25.1. Tenascin-R was associated with motor coordination impairment and enhanced anxiety profile in deficient mice. Interestingly, Triadin (TRDN, 2 = 9.16, P = 0.01) is an integral membrane protein mapped to 6q22.31 within the IgAN1 locus. Triadin was shown to participate in cardiac myocyte arrhythemia. However, there is no published study of these genes in IgAN.

Conclusion: Forty-two associated genes (particularly GCM1, TNR and TRDN) are identified as possible susceptibility or marker genes for IgAN. Knowledge of their mesangial expression and binding capacity for IgA-containing complexes may help elucidate the pathogenesis of IgAN.

Giant Cell Tumour of the Distal Radius: Wide Resection and Reconstruction by Non-vascularised Proximal Fibular Autograft
Authors: Bassiony Ayman Abdelaziz
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Giant cell tumours of the bone are aggressive and potentially malignant le-sions. Juxtaarticular giant cell tumours of the lower end radius are common and present a special problem of reconstruction after tumour excision. Out of the various reconstructive procedures described, non-vascularised fibular autograft has been widely used with satisfactory functional results.

Materials and Methods: Ten patients with a mean age of 33.4 years, with either Campanacci grade II or III histologically proven giant cell tumours of lower end radius were treated with wide excision and reconstruction with ipsilateral non-vascularised proximal fibular autograft. Host graft junction was fixed with dynamic compression plate (DCP) in all cases. Wrist ligament reconstruction and fixation of the head of the fibula with carpal bones and distal end of the ulna using K-wires and primary cancellous iliac crest grafting at graft host junction was done in all cases.

Results: The follow-up ranged from 30 to 60 months (mean, 46.8). At last follow-up, the average combined range of motion was 100.5° with range varying from 60° to 125°. The average union time was 7 months (range, 4 to 12). Non-union occurred in 1 case. Graft resorption occurred in another case. Localised soft tissue recurrence occurred in another case after 3 years and was treated by excision. There was no case of graft fracture, metastasis, death, local recurrence or significant donor site morbidity. A total of 3 secondary procedures were required.

Conclusions: Enbloc resection of giant cell tumours of the lower end radius is a widely accepted method. Reconstruction with non-vascularised fibular graft, internal fixation with DCP with primary corticocancellous bone grafting with transfixation of the fibular head and wrist ligament reconstruction minimises the problem and gives satisfac-tory functional results.
Pain Prevalence in Singapore
Authors: Yeo Sow Nam , Tay Kwang Hui
Published: November 2022

Abstract: The prevalence of chronic pain is well described in various parts of the world; primarily in Western societies such as Europe, America and Australia. Little is known of the prevalence of chronic pain within Asia or Southeast Asia. In view of the cultural and genetic variation in pain causation, manifestation and reporting, the findings of previous studies can- not be translated to Asian countries. Prevalence studies needed to be carried out to quantify the magnitude and impact of chronic pain within Asian countries to properly allocate precious health funds to deal with this important healthcare issue. We report the findings of the preva- lence study within one Asian country: Singapore.

Objective: To determine the prevalence and impact of chronic pain in adult Singaporeans.

Materials and Methods: Two sets of question- naires were designed. The first, a screening questionnaire, to identify the prevalence of chronic pain, and should there be chronic pain; the second, a detailed questionnaire was administered, to characterise the features and the impact of pain. A cross-sectional sampling of Singapore adults were achieved using a computer-based multi-step random sampling of listed telephones numbers. The questionnaires were administered via telephone by a trained interviewer with the aid of a computer-assisted telephone interview system.

Results: A total of 4141 screening and 400 detailed questionnaires were completed. The prevalence of chronic pain, defined as pain of at least 3 months’ duration over the last 6 months was 8.7% (n = 359). There was a higher prevalence in females (10.9%) and with increasing age. In particular, pain prevalence increased steeply beyond the age of 65 years old. There was a significant impact on work and daily function of those with chronic pain.

Conclusion: Though the prevalence of chronic pain was marginally lower compared other studies, the impact of pain was just as significant. In a rapidly ageing population such as Singapore, chronic pain is an important emerging healthcare problem which will likely exert increasing toll on the existing social infrastructure within the next 5 to 10 years.

Intrathecal Analgesia in Patients with Cancer Pain – An Audit in a Tertiary Institution
Authors: Pasutharnchat Koravee , Tan Kian-Hian , Hadi Mohamed Abdul , Ho Kok-Yuen
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Cancer pain is one of the most frequently encountered pain syndromes. With the application of the World Health Organization analgesic ladder, adequate analgesia is achieved in 75% to 90% of patients. The remaining patients suffer from intractable pain requiring intra- thecal analgesia. The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyse the pain intensity before and after intrathecal analgesia and review the complications associated with the implantation and the care of the intrathecal device.

Materials and Methods: We reviewed medical records of all cancer patients whose pain were managed by intrathecal catheter implants in our centre from February 2005 to August 2008. The pain intensity, medication and complications related to intrathecal catheter insertion or drug delivery were reviewed at the time before starting the intrathecal analgesia (T0) and time of discharge from the hospital/time prior to death during their stay in the hospital (Tdsc).

Results: Twenty-nine patients were included. Out of these 29 patients, 86.2% had metastatic cancer. The most common indication was poor pain control. Pain intensity was reduced significantly at the time of discharge from hospital (P <0.001). The number of patients with side effects from opioids decreased after intrathecal treatment. We found 4 patients with short-term catheter complications e.g. kinked or displaced catheter and catheter-related infection.

Conclusion: Intractable cancer pain could be managed effectively by intrathecal analgesia with a significant decrease in pain intensity and reduced opioid-related side effects. The side effects due to intrathecal opioids and complications from intrathecal catheter were minimal.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Reperfusion of acutely ischaemic tissue may, paradoxically, lead to systemic complications. This phenomenon is believed to be initiated by humoral factors that have accumulated in the ischaemic tissue. The ancient art of venesection may reduce the load of these mediators at the point of reperfusion. The aim of this study is to test if selective venesection, by removing the initial venous return from the ischaemic tissue, can attenuate the systemic effects of the ischaemic-reperfusion injury using a porcine model of acute limb ischaemia.

Materials and Methods: The right femoral arteries of anaesthetised female pigs were clamped. Twelve pigs were divided into 2 groups (n = 6 per group). In the treatment group, 5% of blood volume was venesected from the ipsilateral femoral vein upon reperfusion; the other arm served as control. The animals were sacrificed after 4 days for histological examination. A pathologist, blinded to the experimental groups, graded the degree of microscopic injury.

Results: For the control group, the kidneys showed glomeruli and tubular damage. The livers demonstrated architectural distortion with cellular oedema. There was pulmonary oedema as well as extensive capillary congestion and neutrophil infiltration. Such findings were absent or reduced in the venesected animals. Consequently, the injury scores for the kidney, lung, liver and heart were significantly less for the venesected animals.

Conclusion: Selective venesection reduces the remote organ injuries of the ischaemic-reperfusion phenomenon.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: For occipital cortex strokes resulting in vision disorders, questions about the viability of residual visual cortex remain.

Clinical Picture: In a patient with a one-year-old, left, complete, homonymous hemianopia due to a right, posterior cerebral artery, ischaemic infarct, we assessed the visual cortex with fMRI retinotopic mapping prior to starting vision restoration therapy.

Outcome: The patient was found to have residual neurovascular function and retinotopic representation in the surviving visual cortex around the infarcted area.

Conclusion: The ability to respond to stimuli in part of the blind field, though not consciously perceived, suggests the potential for recovery.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the predictive factors affecting the clinical outcome of Below Knee Amputations (BKA) performed in diabetic foot patients admitted to National University Hospital (NUH) Multi-Disciplinary Diabetic Foot Team. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 151 patients admitted to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, NUH, for Diabetic Foot Problems (DFP) from January 2006 to January 2010. All had undergone BKA performed by NUH Multi-Disciplinary Diabetic Foot Team. Statistical analyses (univariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression) were carried out using SPSS version 18.0, for factors such as demographic data, diabetic duration and control, clinical findings and investigations, indications for surgery, preoperative investigations and evaluation, microbiological cultures, and these were compared to the clinical outcome of the patient. A good clinical outcome is defined as one not requiring proximal re-amputation and whose stump healed well within 6 months. The ability to ambulate with successful use of a prosthesis after 1 year was documented. Statistical significance was set at P <0.050. Results: Mean age of study population was 55.2 years with a male to female ratio of about 3:2. Mean follow up duration was 36 months. Of BKAs, 73.5% gave a good outcome. Univariate analysis showed that smoking, previous limb surgery secondary to diabetes, high Total White Count (TW), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Urea, Creatinine (Cr), Neutrophils, absence of posterior tibial and popliteal pulses, low Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) and Toe Brachial Index (TBI) were associated with poor clinical outcome. Multivariate analysis showed that high CRP, ESR, Neutrophils, absence of popliteal pulse and low ABI were associated with poor clinical outcome. Of patients, 50.3% attained mobility with prosthesis after 1 year. Mortality rate was 21.2% within 6 months of operation, with sepsis being the most significant cause of death. Conclusion: Success rate of BKA was 73.5%, with mortality rate being 21.2% within 6 months. In this cohort, 50.3% were able to attain eventual mobility with prosthesis after 1 year. Sepsis was the most significant cause of death. Markers of infection such as high CRP, ESR, neutrophils; and indicators of poor vascularity such as absence of popliteal pulse and low ABI were significantly associated with poor clinical outcome.

Published: November 2022

The Joint Business Group (KUBE) aims to provide the community with access to potential and resources, hoping that it will be based on community empowerment, so that the process of improving the common good can be more effective and efficient. This study aims to analyze the justification for the participation of KUBE Tulip members in the cultivation of maize when there are obstacles, what causes these obstacles. This research was supplemented by a descriptive qualitative method using methods of data collection through interviews, observation and documentation. This study found that the most dominant action rationality behind KUBE Tulip member participation was instrumental rationality. However, his objective is influenced by affective rationality, which result in a lack of member participation in the implementation of the program. The lack of participation of members is based on the existence of disputes between groups, the diversification of work and the emergence of new habits and is repeated. This rationality is normalized by the members of the group during the execution of the program.

Program Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUBE) hadir untuk memberikan akses kepada masyarakat terhadap potensi dan sumber dengan harapan berbasis pemberdayaan masyarakat sehingga proses peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat dapat berjalan lebih efektif dan efesien. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis rasionalitas yang melatarbelakangi partisipasi anggota KUBE Tulip dalam penanaman jagung, apabila terdapat kendala maka hal apa yang menyebabkan kendala tersebut terjadi. Penelitian ini diselesaikan dengan metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa rasionalitas tindakan yang paling dominan dalam melatarbelakangi partisipasi anggota KUBE Tulip adalah rasionalitas instrumental. Namun tujuan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh rasionalitas afektif sehingga menjadikan kurangnya partisipasi anggota dalam pelaksanaan program. Kurangnya partisipasi anggota kelompok dilandasi oleh adanya perselisihan antar kelompok, adanya diversifikasi pekerjaan, serta munculnya kebiasaan baru dan dilakukan secara berulang. Rasionalitas tersebut dinormalisasikan oleh anggota kelompok dalam menjalankan program.
Internal Flow Phenomena of Two-Way Contra-Rotating Axial Flow Pump-Turbine in Pump Mode under Variable Speed
Authors: An C. , Chen Y. , Zhu R. , Wang X. , Yang Y. , Shi  J.
Published: November 2022

This paper investigated the variable speed operation of a two-way contra-rotating axial flow pump–turbine in pump mode. When counter-rotating impellers operate at the same speed, a significant difference exists in the shaft power of the two impellers, thereby causing difficulties in motor selection. However, the same motor is required for both impellers in two-way pump–turbines. To solve this problem, this paper aims to determine the appropriate speed at which the two impellers operate with a similar shaft power. Accordingly, improving the performance of the tidal unit while enabling the basic functions of the pump–turbine is of considerable engineering and academic significance. An analysis of performance variations of the front and rear impellers in the pump mode reveals the law of power variation for each impeller at different speeds of the rear impeller. Under different flow conditions, shaft power of the rear impeller is found to be at least 31% higher compared with that of the front impeller. This result provides practical reference for further research on the operation of counter-rotating axial flow pump–turbine.
Numerical Modeling of the Cavitation Flow in Throttle Geometry
Authors: Bambhania M. , Patel N. K.
Published: November 2022

The modern fuel injectors work with ultra-high injection pressure with a micro-size nozzle, which inevitably triggers the cavitation flow inside the nozzle. The formation of vapor bubbles and their development inside the nozzle is difficult to characterize due to its highly fluctuating spatial and temporal parameters. The numerical models can predict the temporal behavior of cavitating flow with the real-size nozzle geometry, which is fairly expensive with the experiments. A systematic study has been carried out using throttle geometry to characterize the cavitation flow. The different turbulence, multiphase, and cavitation models are extensively evaluated and validated with experimental data. A combination of numerical models has been proposed to predict the cavitation flow more accurately with low computational time. The results obtained with the k-ω SST (Shear Stress Transport) turbulence model and the ZGB (Zwart-Gerber-Belamri) cavitation model are more consistent with the experimental results. The overall structure of cavitation is well captured with both the VOF (Volume of Fluid) and the Mixture multiphase models. Although, the smaller structures like bubble formation and ligament breakup are only captured with the VOF (Volume of Fluid) tuned with the sharp interface method. The effect of pressure difference on the cavitation flow has been estimated with diesel and bio-diesel fuel. The effect of nozzle conicity on cavitation phenomena has also been reported.

Published: November 2022

In this study, complex processes in a typical Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) such as combustion, radiation, heat, and mass transfer were solved and the optimum injector location was found using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The main aim of the injection optimization was to improve the thermal performance and the metallurgical process by changing the injection angle, the central angle of the injector (CAI), and injector length. Fifteen parametric cases were predicted and analyzed for optimization study. To decrease each simulation solution time of each cases, a polyhedral mesh structure was used instead of tetrahedral mesh for the EAF geometry. Thus, the total element number of the model was decreased by 1/5 while providing faster and unchanging results compared to the case with a tetrahedral mesh structure. The response surface optimization method was used for the optimization study. As a result, the optimum injector positioning was obtained as injection angle: -45°, injector length 614 mm, and CAI: 60°.

Apesar de a mesóclise não ser totalmente vigorosa no PB, como uma variante disponível no vernáculo dos falantes, sua presença em textos escritos da esfera jornalística não é desprezível. Neste trabalho, analisamos qualitativamente textos publicados no jornal A Gazeta, o mais influente do Espírito Santo, de setembro a novembro de 2012, nos quais encontramos uma recorrência de 35,7% dessa colocação (5 dados) nos contextos em que é possível sua emergência (tempos do futuro, sem contextos antecedentes categóricos ou semicategóricos: palavra negativa, pronome relativo/focalizador, palavras Qu- interrogativas e sujeitos quantificados). O emprego da mesóclise, de acordo com nossa análise, está associado a significados sociais de conservadorismo, rebuscamento, erudição e domínio de conhecimentos especializados, embora significados sociais negativos também possam estar indexados. Os modelos teóricos que fundamentam as análises aqui propostas são (i) a Sociolinguística Variacionista, especialmente na abordagem estilística de speaker design (ECKERT, 2001; WOLFRAM; SCHILLING, 2016[1998]); (ii) estudos de texto e discurso, nomeadamente as propostas de Adam (2019[1992]), sobre a categorização de sequências discursivas, e do Círculo de Bakhtin (VOLÓCHINOV, 2017[1929]; BAKHTIN, 2011[1953]) a respeito da enunciação enquanto ação discursiva dialógica e da noção de esferas da atividade humana como instâncias sociais hierárquicas organizadoras do discurso.

O blend é um fenômeno morfológico que engloba a junção entre duas bases, como em matel (mato + matel). É, também, considerado bastante contextual e efêmero na língua. Partindo do argumento de Silva (2019) de que o blend surge a partir da experiência cotidiana do falante, questionamo-nos: o conhecimento e o uso dos blends estão associados à faixa etária? Nossa hipótese é de que o conhecimento está associado à capacidade de decomposição semântica dos blends. Somente o uso está associado à faixa etária. Assim, objetivamos investigar qual faixa etária conhece e faz uso de blends com maior frequência. Para isso, elaboramos um formulário eletrônico que foi respondido por pessoas de quatro faixas etárias: (I) até 25 anos; (II) entre 26 e 35 anos; (III) entre 36 e 45 anos; e (IV) acima de 45 anos. Por fim, obtivemos um total de 405 respostas e observamos que, em nossa amostra, os blends foram mais conhecidos e declaradamente usados por juízes, os participantes da pesquisa, da faixa I, seguidos pelos da faixa II.

Soil Characteristics of Padma Multipurpose Bridge
Authors: Shahin Hossain Md.
Published: November 2022

Padma Multipurpose Bridge is situated on a section of the Padma river where the soil condition is highly heterogeneous and intermixed with different soil layers, for which pile design was the critical part. This paper describes the soil properties and ground profiling of the Padma Multipurpose Bridge. Different types of field and laboratory tests were carried out to obtain accurate soil parameters and ground profiles along the whole alignment of the bridge. Standard Penetration Tests, Cone Penetration Tests, and grain size analyses were conducted for the soil classifications and ground profiling. Flat Plate Dilatometer Tests, High Pressure Dilatometer Tests, and Self-Boring Internal Friction Tests were performed to obtain the stiffness of the different soil layers and shear strength parameters in field conditions. Cross-hole and Seismic Tomography Geophysical tests were executed to obtain seismic waves and dynamic shear modulus of each soil layer. Gel Push Soil Sampling technique was used to collect undisturbed samples of sandy soils to get accurate stress–strength-dilatancy characteristics of sandy soils through different laboratory tests. The soil was classified into three Units and some sub-units based on grain size and SPT-N value. Soil parameters were finalized based on both laboratory and field test results. The pile design was possible for accurate measurement of soil parameters and ground profiling along the alignment of the bridge.

Published: November 2022

The Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) is one of the biggest megaprojects of Bangladesh connecting one third of the country with the capital city, Dhaka. The infrastructure is expected to produce considerable uplift on the nation’s transport system, the national and regional economy, employment, household income, and ultimately, poverty reduction. From construction and river management points of view, it is  the most difficult and  engineering innovation-intenstive project in the world. Hence the Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) required analytical, computational and experimental studies. In this work, a 3D Finite Element (FE) model of the actual PMB containing a single (6x150m) 900m modules has been developed in MIDAS Civil, a commercial computer program for bridges. P-y soil spring model following API guideline has been developed to conform flexible support system of the bridge pier. Following BNBC 2020, the bridge's performance has been evaluated for the 475-year, 975 years, and 2475-year return periods for Service Level, Design Basis and the Maximum Credible Earthquake (MCE), respectively. The forced based design shows that the bridge pier reached only 28% and 36% of its axial and shear capacity respectively for an earthquake return period of 2475 years. On the other hand, the pier has reached a maximum of 41% of its total shear capacity for the same seismic level.

القرآن الكريم منذ أنْ أُنزلَ وإلى وقتنا الحاضر بقي الكتاب الـمُعجز وبـمختلف الوجوه العلميّة والتّاريـخية واللّغوية والبلاغيّة وغيره، أمّا البلاغيّة منها فهي تبقى الوجه الأصيل؛ لأنـها ترافقه في كل سوره بل وفي كل تراكيبه اللّغوية ويشعر بروعتها كل من يسمع كلام الله تعالى. أمّا علم البلاغة فينقسم إلى ثلاثة أقسام: علم الـمعاني وعلم البيان وعلم البديع. ولقد تناولت هذه الدراسة تعريف علم البيان ومن ثم تقديم لَـمْحَة تاريخية عن نشوئه وتطوره، ومن ثم الانتقال للحديث عن فنِّ التّشبيه بتعريفه وتحديد مفهومه وأركانه وتقديم بعض الأمثلة عليه، ومن ثم الانتقال للحديث عن الاستعارة بتعريفها وتحديد مفهومها وأركانها وشرح بعض أقسامها وتقديـم بعض الأمثلة عليها. أهمية هذه الدراسة أنها تقدِّم فكرةً عامةً -بإيجاز- عن مسيرة تطور علم البيان وفنيه التشبيه والاستعارة في عصورها الـمتلاحقة حتّى تقعيد قواعدها، فالـمُتتبّع لتاريخ تطور علم البيان يرصد مدى جهود علمائه منذ أنْ بدأت تتوضح أولى معَالـِمَه حتّى اكتمالها ونُضْجِها على يد السّكّاكي. ولقد حاولت هذه الدّراسة عرض وتـحليل بعض الأمثلة القرآنية للتشبيه والاستعارة من سورة البقرة، من خلال عرض خصائصهما الـمميزة لكل منهما، وفي نـهاية الدّراسة تم تسليط الضّوء على أهم الفروق بين التّشبيه والاستعارة حيث بيّنت هذه الفروق ما تُضيفه على الـمعنى الـمقصود والغايات الإلـهية الـمرجوّة منها، وكشفت ما تـحويه من كنوز أدبية في علم البيان، تُظْهِر لنا وبـخاصة أفكاراً جديدة لفهم القرآن الكريـم، فكانت الأمثلة فعلاً تعبّر بشكلٍ ساحرٍ عن الغاية الـمرجوّة والـمعاني الـمقصودة.
Entre fincas y puestos. Trabajadoras rurales del agro de Mendoza (1960-2020)
Authors: Tona María Belén
Published: November 2022

Entre fincas y puestos… es un libro que aborda las singularidades del trabajo realizado por mujeres en contextos rurales y agrarios de la provincia de Mendoza a través de una perspectiva que cruza aportes de los estudios de género, sociales agrarios y migratorios. Así, María Florencia Linardelli, Daniela Pessolano, Laura Rodríguez Agüero se enfocan en la historia reciente de una economía regional que se caracteriza históricamente por la labor de cientos de mujeres, cuyas contribuciones no han sido valoradas ni sistematizadas por parte de la estadística, las políticas públicas y los estudios sociohistóricos.
Identification of Multiple Attacks in Cloud Environment using Big Data
Authors: Dr. Samydurai A  , Achuthan R  , Akash K  , Eber Sheckel E
Published: November 2022

Since the Cloud environment is prone to many attacks we are implementing a Big Data based centralized log analysis system to identify the network traffic occurred by attackers through DDOS, SQL Injection, and Brute Force attacks. The log file is automatically transmitted to the centralized cloud server where big data is initiated and uses a tool called Hadoop to process the huge amount of log files that are being sent to big data. If an attacker attacks any files then it will be compared with the attack dataset that is maintained here to detect the attacks that are being used by the attacker. This system also helps in storing the information of all registered users, and their files which get uploaded to the cloud server and downloaded from the server and IP addresses in order to view any attacks that may occur in the future. All this stored information is maintained securely using SQL which is a backend process. Thus we are implementing a system that delivers a very high performance as well as very efficient results in categorizing the attacks. Since the Hadoop tool is being used in the system, this system is able to increase its scalability and achieves a faster detection of attacks like DDOS, SQL Injection, and Brute Force attacks. This system can play a vital role in various organizations to safeguard their privacy. Data integrity, Data confidentiality, and non-repudiation can be achieved by using this system. Finally, we can say that this system avoids any faults that occurred in the previous system that was invented before this.
Generación millennial y despoblamiento
Authors: Guimaraens Igual Guillermo , Navalón Martínez Virginia
Published: November 2022

En el contexto global la generación millennial representa una porción sustancial de población. Su principal característica es que alcanza la madurez en el nuevo milenio. Está abocada a vivir y diseñar el futuro inmediato. Esta evidencia ha hecho que se intenten definir sus claves a partir de estudios estadísticos. El interés radica en que nos encontramos ante una generación aparentemente indescifrable para las generaciones anteriores, pues ha nacido en el mundo global, conectada a la revolución digital y sacudida por sucesivas crisis. Simultáneamente, se ha despertado la alarma ante el fenómeno de despoblamiento de determinados territorios y muchas administraciones y colectivos tratan de hallar fórmulas para frenarlo. La presente investigación, a partir de trabajos académicos precedentes, plantea comparar las estrategias de las diversas administraciones con las expectativas e inquietudes de este colectivo, desgranadas a partir del análisis de los estudios estadísticos recopilados, al tiempo que se analiza la viabilidad de una migración ligada al estilo de vida.
Reframing Spatialities in Urban Africa. Insights from Onitsha Markets in Nigeria
Authors: Chukwuemeka Chukwuemeka Vincent
Published: November 2022

Onitsha is a city in southeastern Nigeria driven by an urban market phenomenon. It is currently the third largest urban area in Africa, trailing behind Cairo and Lagos, respectively. The constructions of spatialities, and under the notion of terra nullius and extreme otherness in post-colonial Africa, worsened the challenges of rapid and uncontrolled urban growth. The paper provides insights on how the successive political events on the African continent shaped the manifestations of contemporary spatialities and potential pathways to reverse the trend. A review of planning approaches in Nigeria was conducted, starting from colonial cantonments to current epoch of extreme uncertainty, and through the lens of Onitsha markets spatialities. The markets in Onitsha reveal emergent forms of spatialities in response to the extreme otherness and uncertainty in the city. The paper presents arguments on the need to rethink the current architecture, urban design, and planning practices and pedagogies beyond alterity, while embracing the complexity of post-colonial urban Africa. It also provides an opportunity for developing alternative theorizing, tools and frameworks towards equitable and livable urban futures.
Hard shelters: refugee mobility between spatial exclusion and the contemporary problem of temporary living
Authors: Cannas Patrizia
Published: November 2022

Considering globalization as a transition of epochs, cities are becoming more and more characterized by differences, contradictions and conflicts, and the topic of mobility is linked to emergency situations due to economic and social crises and armed conflicts. While on the one hand, the possibility of establishing new connections, thanks to the advent of a technological process, has helped to ideally overcome certain boundaries, on the other hand, physical boundaries have become more rigid, marked, and increasingly populated by people who remain excluded from these changes. Mobility can be seen as the root of inequalities for people in transit, and temporary living situations due to processes of overcrowding and depopulation contribute to situations of exclusion.

Costa-Gavras
Authors: Michalczyk John J. , Michalczyk Susan A.
Published: November 2022

Costa-Gavras: Encounters with History explores the life and work of the director intertwined with historical and socio-political events, from the early stages of his career: emigrating to France from Greece in 1955 and first studying at the Sorbonne, then focusing on filmmaking at IDHEC, now La Fémis. He became an internationally respected director, first with his Oscar-award winning film Z (1969) and continued with a vast array of films, including his most recent work, Adults in the Room (2019). His films portray the complexities of human nature, relationships challenged by historical and contemporary socio-political issues. In this overview of the director’s films, the authors shed light on his encounters with history from his youth in war-torn Greece to his later films on immigration, unemployment, global capitalistic greed, and the abuse of political and economic power in Europe.

Costa-Gavras’ films have spanned several decades and several continents, to combat unethical laws and injustice, oppression, legal/illegal violence, and torture. Throughout his evolution in the world of cinema for over half a century as director, writer, and producer, Costa-Gavras has told human-interest stories that entertain and inspire, and that help us better understand ourselves and a fragile, fragmented world.

Published: November 2022

Objective: Evidence suggests that people of color, especially African Americans and non-White Hispanics, residing in low-income communities are the most vulnerable to natural disasters. This study assessed individual level of self-perceived disaster preparedness, disaster response actions, and sociodemographic predictors of disaster preparedness among older minority adults in Houston, Texas.Method: Working with Houston-area community-based organizations and senior-living centers, a cross-sectional survey, available in English and Spanish, was disseminated between November 2020 and January 2021.Participants: Five hundred and twenty-two older minority adults aged 55+ completed the electronic survey.Main outcome measure(s): The main outcome measure was the level of self-perceived preparedness regarding emergencies and disasters—ie, prepared vs not prepared—among the study participants.Results: Overall, about 58 percent of older minority adults did not perceive themselves to be prepared. Compared to individuals reporting annual incomes below $25,000, individuals reporting annual incomes between $25,000 and $74,999 were more likely to report being prepared [odds ratio (OR) = 2.28, 95 percent confidence interval (CI) = 1.29, 4.05]. Individuals who tested positive or had a close family member test positive for COVID-19 experienced 2.16 times higher odds of having self-perceived disaster preparedness than those who did not [OR = 2.16, 95 percent CI = 1.37, 3.42]. None of the other covariates were statistically significant.Conclusions: While we observed no differences in self-perceived disaster preparedness between African American and Hispanic older adults, our findings suggest the importance of prior experience/exposure to previous disasters and the role of socioeconomic status in self-perceived disaster preparedness in minority older adults.
