POSSUM scoring in hollow viscus perforation at National Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal
Authors: Ghimire Sanju , Singh K. N. , Alam M. Shahid
Published: November 2023

Background: Peritonitis as a result of hollow viscus perforation is a common condition in developing countries like Nepal where post-operative period is unpredictable even if patient reaches hospital in time and being operated. Physiological and operative severity score for the enumeration of mortality and morbidity (POSSUM) helps to identify patients at increased risk of developing deaths and complications. It is based on 12 physiological and 6 operative parameters.
Methods: A total of 50 patients of hollow viscus perforation admitted and operated at National Medical College and Teaching Hospital Birgunj, Nepal from July 2020 to June 2021 were included in study. It was a prospective observational study.
Results: During the study 9 patients died and the observed to expected ratio (O: E) 0.3 was obtained. Out of 41 patients who survived 28 suffered complications an observed to expected ratio (O: E) of 0.68 was obtained.
Conclusions: POSSUM scoring system is reliable for predicting post-operative morbidity and mortality and helps to improve prognosis of patients operated for perforated hollow viscus.

Authors: Matos Diana S. , Oliveira Juliana , Claro Luis , Lourenço Rita , Lopes André , Longras Catarina , Santos Andreia , Costa Carlos Santos , Alpoim Carlos
Published: November 2023

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm that typically affects the skin and subcutaneous tissues. It is often painless and with slow growth. We present a case of a 57-year-old female patient with an unusual lesion diagnosed as AFH, located in the abdominal wall, manifested clinically with bleeding. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with an excision of the mass (apparently preperitoneal) and hepatic subsegmentectomy II, for histological exam. This case is noteworthy due to its uncommon location and clinical presentation.

Published: November 2023

Pancreatic cancer (PC) represents a challenging manifestation of a gastrointestinal tumour, which poses a formidable impediment for healthcare professionals and patients alike. The prognosis for this condition is often discouraging, particularly following a pancreatectomy, which has a poor five-year survival rate. The sole practical cure for PC is surgical resection, despite the negative outcomes. The standard surgical procedure for pancreatic head cancer is pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Although PD has been associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates, recent advancements have reduced the risks associated with this operation. When it comes to PC surgery, one promising approach is the resection of the portal vein. This technique has been shown to improve the ability to remove the cancerous tissue (resectability) and to remove it completely (radicality). This study was carried out at the department of pancreatology hepatology and transplantation of organs and tissues, Grodno regional clinical hospital in Grodno, Belarus.  Our team treated a patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, who underwent a pancreaticoduodenal resection and marginal resection of the portal vein as part of their treatment plan. PD with marginal resection of the portal vein reduces risks and improves patient outcomes, as confirmed by CT and ultrasound data. Further research is needed to expand its efficacy and improve patients' recovery and quality of life post-surgery.
Eastern and Western Influence in Wall Paintings of Abuna Yemata Guh Church (Ethiopia)
Authors: Kuvatova Valeria
Published: November 2023

The rock-hewn church Abuna Yemata Guh, situated in the Gheralta Mountains of the Ethiopian Tigray region, houses one of the best preserved and least studied wall paintings of medieval Ethiopia. The pictorial program is dated to the second half of 15th century, by stylistic and iconographic characteristics. In fact, no well-proved date has been suggested so far.
This research seeks to bridge the existing scholarly gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the iconographic and stylistic attributes of the paintings. It also considers the historical backdrop of the church, identifying key conduits of cultural influence. Furthermore, the study incorporates a scientific examination of the pigments employed in the paintings of Abuna Yemata Guh, comparing them with those found in other Ethiopian churches.
The artistic motifs found within the paintings of Abuna Yemata Guh indicate an amalgamation of influences, notably drawing from Osman and Goan Christian art traditions. Additionally, traces of the iconographic style seen in the Roman icon Salus populi romani are evident, with a copy of this icon only arriving in Ethiopia after the 1570s. Consequently, the most plausible timeframe for the execution of the wall paintings falls within the latter part of the 16th c.
From the Delta to the Delta: Natural Conditions and Settlers on the Main Nile in the Fifth Millennium BC. Part III
Authors: Proussakov Dmitry
Published: November 2023

Neolithic in the Nile Valley in the 5th millennium BC was spread from the Sudanese Gezira to Central Egypt in the form of year-round settlements and seasonal camps of hunter-gatherers mastering the cattle breeding. Some researchers argued that it was a kind of cultural community, but this rather contradicts the known archaeological facts, which also do not confirm the theory of mass migration of the Neolithic tribes of the Sahara to the Nile in that era because of climate drying. Generally, “a convincing Neolithisation model” for this macroregion is still an actual problem of the Egyptian-Sudanese archeology. In the north, in Upper Egypt with the main concentration closer to Asiut, there are sites of the early Neolithic cultures of Tasa and Badari (the former is also considered as the initial stage of the latter) which preferred plateaus, wadis and edges of the adjacent “deserts” to the river floodplain; nevertheless, some scholars claimed the “Tasians” already to have been farmers growing cereals, although the available archaeological data allow us to speak at best about the beginnings of agriculture in the sparsely populated Tasian-Badarian Egypt. In the south, close to the confluence of the White and Blue Nile from the Gezira to the Sixth cataract, the culture of Khartoum Neolithic dominated, replacing Early Khartoum (Khartoum Mesolithic), from which it differed economically by the transition to cattle breeding; any traces of agriculture in its area, as well as in the early sites of the Saharan-Sudanese Neolithic, are absent. Khartoum Neolithic apparently experienced some drying of its containing landscape in the second half of the 5th millennium BC, and this could hardly be favored by the warm and moist climate at the peak of the Atlantic thermal optimum of the Holocene; most likely, there was a change in the hydrology and hydrography of the river network in the area of concentration of this culture, associated with the stabilization of the “meandering” estuary channel of the Blue Nile in its current position.
Evolution of “Alliance 90 / The Greens” Approaches to German Relations with Israel
Authors: Iakimova Elizaveta
Published: November 2023

The article analyzes the transformation of approaches towards Israel among the German environmentally-conscious parties. The author focuses on the course of the “Alliance 90 / The Greens” from its formation to the present, when the party has become a part of the government. Additional attention is paid to the perception of Israel by its predecessors — the “greens” from the FRG and the GDR. The feasibility of studying the Middle East vector of activity of this political force is explained by the fact that throughout the history it has remained an attractive partner in the formation of government coalitions, choosing the portfolio of foreign minister. Moreover, the German “Greens” are also represented in the European Parliament, having an opportunity to participate in decision-making process at the supranational level. The article considers the specifics environmentally-conscious parties in Germany and Israel, retrospective of perception of the State of Israel by the party, the current political platform of the “Alliance 90 / The Greens” and the activity of its member A. Baerbock as German Foreign Minister. The author concludes that the German “Greens” agree with the need to adhere to the historical principles of bilateral relations, having different approaches with the Israeli government to the Middle East conflict resolution. At the same time, under the influence of the position of senior coalition partners, topical international issues and the need to strengthen its own positions within the country, the party is able to soften its rhetoric.

RELACIONES DEMANDA-OFERTA DE AGUA Y EL ÍNDICE DE ESCASEZ DE AGUA COMO HERRAMIENTAS DE EVALUACIÓN DEL RECURSO HÍDRICO COLOMBIANO
Authors: Domínguez Calle Efraín Antonio , Rivera Hebert Gonzalo , Vanegas Sarmiento Raquel , Moreno Pedro
Published: November 2023

En este trabajo se presentan datos actualizados sobre la oferta hídrica Colombiana y la demanda potencial de agua por parte de los distintos sectores productivos. La relación demanda/oferta de agua es utilizada como indicador del nivel de presión sobre los recursos hídricos y es expresada, en forma porcentual, a través del Índice de Escasez de Agua Superficial. Este índice aplica reducciones sobre la oferta hídrica disponible para expresar los efectos restrictivos de la variabilidad temporal y de la severidad del periodo de estiaje en las corrientes superficiales de las distintas regiones naturales. Para caracterizar los años de humedad normal y baja se construyeron escenarios de oferta hídrica modal y de probabilidad de excedencia del 95%. También se proyectaron los niveles de demanda y oferta superficial de agua al año 2025. Los resultados obtenidos reorientan la atención sobre la problemática del recurso hídrico colombiano hacia los conflictos por uso del territorio ocasionados por la concentración poblacional y de los sectores productivos en sectores de baja oferta de agua. A la luz de este enfoque, los problemas de infraestructura para la gestión de un recurso escaso, altamente presionado y de fuerte variabilidad temporal, emergen como un factor clave para evitar una crisis latente en la gestión de los recursos hídricos.

Występowanie zjawiska obchodzenia konstytucji w procesie stanowienia i stosowania prawa jest jednym z przykładów trwającego w Polsce kryzysu konstytucyjnego. W artykule podjęto próbę udzielenia odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy obejście konstytucji jest podstawą do pociągnięcia do odpowiedzialności za delikt konstytucyjny. W pierwszej kolejności omówiono czym jest obejście konstytucji, następnie przeanalizowano art. 198 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP i na podstawie tej normy zdefiniowano pojęcie deliktu konstytucyjnego. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań ustalono, że obejście ustawy zasadniczej może stanowić podstawę do pociągnięcia jego sprawcy do odpowiedzialności konstytucyjnej. Takie zachowanie jest bowiem jedną z form naruszenia Konstytucji. W artykule posłużono się metodą dogmatyczno-prawną.
Attitude Determination System with Rotation of Gyroscopes
Authors: Ryzhkov Lev , Chernyak Mykola
Published: November 2023

A method of auto-compensation for the influence of constant biases in the output signals of gyroscopes in the system for determining the orientation of an object, based on the rotation of the gyroscopes relative to the object, is considered. The analysis of the obtained models of errors in determining the orientation and the simulation performed show the high efficiency of this method for improving the accuracy of readings. The proposed error model makes it quite easy to evaluate the efficiency of auto-compensation. It is shown that the problem may be reduced to integrating the direction cosine matrix that determine the position of the sensitive elements in the reference coordinate system.
Aircraft Fuel Measurement System Based on Hydrostatic Pressure Sensor
Authors: Smirnov Oleg , Filyashkin Mykola
Published: November 2023

The construction of an aircraft fuel-measuring system based on hydrostatic pressure sensors is considered, which makes it possible to determine the fuel residue in the aircraft tanks during its evolutions. With the evolution of aircraft, measuring the fuel residue in existing fuel metering systems using float and capacitive fuel level sensors has a rather complex electromechanical design and significant weight and size characteristics. This together affects the reliability of such systems as a whole and leads to significant methodological errors in determining the remaining fuel during maneuverable flight. The proposed system using hydrostatic pressure sensors and a computer can significantly increase the efficiency of existing fuel metering systems, and can also be used for calibration tests both on the ground and in flight.
On Seasonal Variability of Tropopause Characteristics in Foothill Regions of the North Caucasus According to ERA-5 (Copernicus) и MERRA-2 (NASA) Reanalysis Data
Authors: Radionoff Anatoly A. , Timchenko Vasily Yu.
Published: November 2023

Based on the ERA-5 (Copernicus) reanalysis database, the seasonal variability of the height and thickness of the tropopause in the atmosphere is shown for the foothill region near the city of Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia-Alania, Russia. Two algorithms are used to determine the boundaries of the tropopause and its thickness (here it is the vertical distance between the upper and lower boundaries of the tropopause), based on the definition of the cold point and the gradient definition of the World Meteorological Organization. It is shown that in the summer season the tropopause is higher and less thick, while in cold seasons the tropopause is lower and has a significant thickness (sometimes two tropopauses are recorded). The observed seasonal variability of the tropopause height is compared with that calculated theoretically for the adiabatic temperature. Satisfactory correspondence of some characteristics of the tropopause is observed. Statistical estimates of the trends in changes in the height and temperature of the cold point of the tropopause are calculated, which are in satisfactory agreement with the corresponding trends calculated theoretically on the basis of trends in changes in surface temperature according to the MERRA-2 (NASA) reanalysis data in the study area.

Authors: Vatulyan Alexander O. , Varchenko Anastasiya A. , Yurov Viktor O.
Published: November 2023

The problems of determining the variable rheological properties of functionally gradient beams from some additional information about displacements are considered. Vibrations of a cantilevered inhomogeneous viscoelastic beam are studied in the framework of two models - Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko. The oscillations are caused by a moment concentrated at the end of the beam, oscillating in time. Within the framework of the concept of complex modules, operator relations linking the given and desired functions are obtained. Functions reflecting the laws of change of long-term and instantaneous modules have been restored. The results of computational experiments on the restoration of functions of various types are presented.
Analysis of Indicators of Socio-Economic Development of Municipalities of the Republic of Crimea (2019-2022)
Authors: Uznarodov Dmitry I.
Published: November 2023

The article considers the socio-economic processes in the Republic of Crimea in 2019-2022. Based on the methodology developed by scientists D.Yu. Zemlyansky, L.V. Kalinovsky, A.G. Makhrova, D.M. Medvednikova, V.A. Chuzhenkova and used to determine the complex index of socio-economic development of Russian cities, the index of socio-economic development of municipalities of the Republic of Crimea was calculated. As a result of the calculations, the municipalities of the Crimea were divided into six groups, depending on the level of socio-economic development: municipalities with maximum, high, increased, medium, low and minimal levels of socio-economic development. It is concluded that municipalities with the lowest level of socio-economic development are located in the northern part of the Crimean peninsula (Dzhankoy and Krasnoperekopsky districts), and with a low, mainly in the eastern part. In turn, the largest number of municipalities with maximum, high and increased level of socio-economic development is recorded in the southern part of Crimea. Most areas of the central part of Crimea have a medium level of socio-economic development.

Religion as a cultural factor and accounting development in chosen Asian countries. The chapter presents the influence of belief systems (religion) as a cultural factor on the development of accounting in Indonesia, India and China. Contrary to appearances, this influence is not limited only to the development of a specific system of economic ethics in terms of Weber’s theory, so into accounting ethics. The chapter presents how belief systems determine the attitudes and the needs of stakeholders, so also the scope of information provided by accounting, the rank of accounting principles, the scope of disclosures, as well as the development of, among others, accounting and controlling techniques. To illustrate this process, Asian countries that are economically developed and religiously diverse (Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Islam) were selected.

Este estudo apresenta como objetivo analisar o processo de construção de identidade a partir da transição de saberes que são veiculados e/ou produzidos na escola prisional feminina com base no enfoque de como os elementos étnicos, misturas e mestiçagens refletem o processo de formação cultural brasileira, em especial, como a questão da racialidade é trabalhada na escola de modo a compreender a relevância desses saberes no contexto prisional feminino ora marcado pela maioria populacional de cor preta. Com isto, compreender o reflexo de como o racismo e o encarceramento em interface com a transição de saberes que são veiculados na escola prisional feminina estão diretamente relacionados ao processo de construção de identidade o qual sofre influências do sistema modernidade-colonialidade configurado em práticas hegemônicas e excludentes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa de estudos relacionados Saos eixos em discussão e que nos leva a refletir melhorias para a escola prisional feminina, como por exemplo, resgatar os saberes construídos durante a trajetória de vida destas mulheres antes e durante o encarceramento, considerando as questões raciais como ponto central desse processo, sobretudo, na situação de cárcere.
Epistemologias do Quilombo
Authors: Araújo Isaac Fonseca
Published: November 2023

Neste artigo examino a emergência de um movimento quilombola no Baixo Tocantins, na mesorregião do nordeste paraense, a partir de estratégias e discursos acionados pelas comunidades que o integram no campo da educação escolar enquanto espaço de resistência/r-existência e reafirmação de uma especificidade socioterritorial. Da observação e escuta etnográfica vivenciadas restou compreendido o interesse dos sujeitos em tratar da educação como um assunto público estruturante da agenda que articula o movimento, mas uma educação que reconheça e valorize as epistemologias do quilombo, pondo-as em diálogo com outras formas de compreender o mundo e habitá-lo. Diferentemente de dinâmicas territoriais cuja construção passa por uma ambientalização do conflito, tensionamentos e fraturas, neste caso a condição de aglutinação do exercício mobilizatório é dada pelo debate e o acordo entre as lideranças quilombolas e agentes públicos representantes do aparelho governamental.
Apropriação dos fundamentos da Afrocentricidade por uma Educação Antirracista e Libertadora
Authors: Correia Carlos Horácio , Reis Maria da Conceição dos
Published: November 2023

O objetivo do texto é discutir o processo de resistência e afirmação de outras formas de produção de conhecimento diante da imposição hegemônica da epistemologia ocidental, especificamente em sociedades africanas. A pesquisa justifica-se pela necessidade de aprofundarmos os fundamentos teóricos da afrocentricidade em articulação com outras epistemologias antirracistas enquanto alternativas ao pensamento hegemônico estrutural. O estudo baseou-se na metodologia da pesquisa exploratória, de fontes bibliográficas atreladas ao paradigma teórico da afrocentricidade defendida por Molefi Asante (2014), Ama Mazama (2009) e as suas principais categorias conceituais de Agência, Centralidade/Marginalidade e Conscientização, dialogadas com a pedagogia libertadora de Paulo Freire (2011) e Carlos Brandão e Raiane Assumpção  (2009), junto ao pensamento decolonial de Anibal Quijano (1992) e Walter Mignolo (2005). Os resultados do estudo sugerem  uma educação afrocentrada adequada à realidade dos africanos e das africanas, em harmonia com outras formas de produção de conhecimento, pautada pela diversidade epistêmica trabalhada na perspectiva de Ramón Grosfoguel (2016), Santos e Meneses (2010), opondo-se à contra-hegemonia ocidental e aos seus modelos monótonos e universais.

Published: November 2023

As desigualdades étnico-raciais na Ciência ocupam lugar de destaque nas pautas das principais agências de fomento à pesquisa. De maneira oposta, como justificativa para essa condição, ainda repercutem os discursos sobre a defasagem no desempenho de graduandos cotistas. Este trabalho buscou conhecer as políticas afirmativas voltadas para a formação inicial de pesquisadores, com ênfase na evolução dos egressos do Programa Institucional de Iniciação Científica nas Ações Afirmativas (PIBIC-AF) nos Campos Acadêmico e Científico. Nesta pesquisa, de cunho quantitativo, foram utilizados os dados disponíveis em três plataformas do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), o “Fomento Nacional”, o “Portal Memória — Histórico bolsa/ano” e a “Plataforma Lattes”. O ScriptLattes foi a ferramenta utilizada para extrair informações dos 12.890 Currículos Lattes avaliados, todos pertencentes aos egressos do PIBIC e do PIBIC-AF e oriundos da Grande Área das Ciências da Saúde. Inicialmente, foi estabelecida uma síntese dos programas contextualizando-os com a expansão do ensino superior. Também foi realizada uma análise comparativa entre os resultados obtidos pelos egressos do PIBIC-AF e aqueles observados para os egressos do PIBIC, segundo parâmetros empregados nas avaliações do CNPq e outros que se mostraram convenientes. As análises estatísticas revelaram a paridade entre os dois programas na maioria dos quesitos avaliados, porém evidencia uma discrepância quanto à ocupação das posições de poder. Como forma de aperfeiçoamento do PIBIC-AF, destaca-se a elaboração de políticas públicas e institucionais que contribuam para a ampliação das vagas; para a promoção do acesso aos Programas de Iniciação Científica; e para garantia da ocupação das posições de destaque na Ciência e na Academia por negros, indígenas e quilombolas.

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir a respeito de alguns aspectos que corroboram o afastamento das mulheres quilombolas participantes do Programa de Inclusão de Estudantes Quilombolas (PROINQ) da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT). Para isso, abordam-se as implicações da colonialidade no sistema educacional. Embora, tenham ocorrido modificações, ao longo do tempo, a pedagogia dominante ainda é marcada por práticas excludentes e conservadoras que perpetuam a colonialidade. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica substanciada em Quijano (2005), Gomes (2011), Lugones (2014), dentre outros, e documental baseada em relatórios institucionais. Como resultado, espera-se que este estudo desencadeie um debate significativo em torno das questões que afetam a trajetória das mulheres quilombolas, no ensino superior, contribuindo para um olhar sensível às necessidades desse grupo e a reconfiguração de práticas e políticas educacionais.

Eutanasia, suicidio asistido y derechos humanos: un estudio de jurisprudencia comparada
Authors: Buriticá-Arango Esteban
Published: November 2023

Los tribunales han desempeñado un papel protagónico en la despenalización de la eutanasia y el suicidio asistido en varios países. Desde la década de 1990, han propiciado la anulación o restricción de normas que sancionan el homicidio por piedad y la ayuda al suicidio, y han contribuido al desarrollo de los fundamentos ético-jurídicos de los procedimientos de muerte asistida. Sin embargo, en cada país los jueces han atribuido alcances, naturaleza y fundamentos muy distintos al derecho a la muerte asistida. En este artículo analizo tres diferencias principales, relacionadas con las condiciones que dan acceso a la asistencia médica, los derechos fundamentales que la respaldan y su naturaleza como derecho subjetivo. Concluyo que el derecho a la muerte asistida puede ser, según el país, un privilegio, una inmunidad o una pretensión, fundamentado a menudo en interpretaciones diferentes —e incompatibles— de los derechos fundamentales y con ámbitos de aplicabilidad muy variable.
Estándares probatorios y dilemas jurídicos en la identificación de restos de personas víctimas de desaparición forzada. Una mirada desde la experiencia chilena
Authors: Accatino Daniela
Published: November 2023

El desafío de la búsqueda de las personas víctimas de desaparición forzada comprende usualmente el de la recuperación de la identidad de los restos que logran ser hallados. Este trabajo releva la dimensión jurídica de la identificación y su calidad de decisión acerca de la prueba de un hecho, que puede ser analizada con las herramientas conceptuales de la teoría de la prueba jurídica. Sobre esa base, se aborda la pregunta sobre el estándar de prueba aplicable y se ofrece un análisis basado en la experiencia chilena reciente, en la que se ha tendido a consolidar la prueba positiva de ADN como una suerte de golden standard, exclusivo y excluyente, para la identificación. A menudo, sin embargo, ese resultado no se puede alcanzar por deterioro del ADN en las muestras de restos obtenidos, por la escasez de las muestras dada la práctica de exhumaciones clandestinas o por falta de muestras de parientes para comparación. El trabajo explora las preguntas que se abren entonces, tanto respecto de la posibilidad de que otra clase de pruebas forenses sean aceptables y suficientes como sobre el trato que se debe dar a los restos cuya identificación no resulta actualmente posible.
Descripción de los riesgos y desafíos para la integridad académica de aplicaciones generativas de inteligencia artificial
Authors: Navarro-Dolmestch Roberto
Published: November 2023

Este artículo analiza, desde una perspectiva descriptiva y como apertura de una línea de investigación, el impacto que las tecnologías de inteligencia artificial generativas (IAG) pueden representar para la integridad académica, materializado en la actividad docente y en los procesos de evaluación en la enseñanza universitaria del derecho. El artículo toma como premisa la definición de la integridad académica como un conjunto de valores y sostiene que de la IAG surgen una serie de riesgos que amenazan dichos valores, como la excesiva dependencia y confianza en la IAG, la irrealizabilidad del proyecto pedagógico y la pérdida de competitividad de las instituciones educativas, entre otros. Para minimizar o anular tales riesgos y, de esa forma, impedir que ellos se concreten en afectaciones a la integridad académica, se identifican cuatro medidas de mitigación para ser aplicadas en entornos universitarios.
Violencia sexual y derecho penal: sobre los problemas contemporáneos en la interpretación del tipo penal de violación sexual en el Código Penal del Perú
Authors: Rodríguez Vásquez Julio Alberto , Valega Chipoco Cristina
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo identifica los problemas jurídicos interpretativos y de calificación que plantean los tipos penales nacionales de violación sexual con base en un examen de la jurisprudencia y literatura especializada más contemporánea. A través de una interpretación teleológica y sistemática de estos delitos y de la aplicación de una perspectiva de género, se construyen alternativas preliminares de solución a los mismos. La principal conclusión jurídica a la que se llega es que, con la incorporación del medio comisivo de «aprovechamiento de cualquier otro entorno que impida a la persona dar su libre consentimiento» en el delito de violación sexual en su modalidad básica (artículo 170 del Código Penal), el ordenamiento jurídicopenal peruano ha incorporado un modelo basado principalmente en la ausencia de consentimiento para los delitos sexuales. Este modelo, a su vez, se acerca a la aproximación «sí significa sí» del consentimiento, en atención a una interpretación convencional, constitucional y teleológica de la redacción del tipo penal. Asimismo, el artículo arriba a otras conclusiones jurídicas importantes sobre el tipo penal, tales como su factible cobertura de casos de stealthing, la viabilidad jurídica de su comisión por compenetración y no solo penetración, por omisión impropia y sin requerir ánimo lascivo adicional al dolo, entre otras. Finalmente, a la luz de aquellas conclusiones, se examinan sistemáticamente los artículos 171, 172, 173, 174 y 175 del Código Penal peruano y se proponen alternativas de interpretación jurídicas congruentes de los mismos. Una de las más relevantes es la inconstitucionalidad del tipo penal de violación sexual mediante engaño (artículo 175) y la argumentación de su reconducción con base en el artículo 170, pues el primero podría ser empleado para sostener que el engaño no es un medio idóneo para cometer violación sexual contra una víctima adulta o adolescente mayor de 13 años, impidiendo la protección efectiva de la libertad sexual.
The Poetics and Politics of Empathy: Theatre as Education
Authors: Prentki Tim
Published: November 2023

This article is built upon the premise that there is an urgent need to create a kinder, more cooperative world in order to address the crises which threaten to destroy it. The key component in this enterprise is empathy, and theatre can play a major role in training young people in the exercise of empathy. Recent developments in neuroscience (Bråten, 2007; Damasio, 1994; Denes, 2016; Singer & Lamm, 2009; Stamenov & Gallese, 2002) have demonstrated that the human brain’s capacity for empathy can be strengthened by frequent use. In addition, the discovery of so-called mirror neurons has revealed the extent to which the operation of our brains reflects the way in which theatre is also conceived. We are in a state of constant dialogue with ourselves and, due to the way mirror neurons stimulate us when we observe the actions and words of others, we respond like theatre audiences. Given this new scientific data, I propose that curricula in formal education need to be reconceived to take account of neurological understandings, resulting in the placing of drama processes/methodologies at their core.
Posibilidades del archivo escénico
Authors: Bifaretti María Eugenia
Published: November 2023

Este texto busca problematizar las posibles formas de archivar e historizar las prácticas escénicas. Para ello, se abordan las obras TODO, la imposibilidad de vaciar (2019) y TODO Performance (2021), dirigidas por la artista escénica Laura Valencia (La Plata, Argentina), donde la colección de objetos escénicos que la directora ha usado y atesorado durante veinticinco años de trabajo vuelven a ser activados. Desde una perspectiva crítica de la historia (Scott, 2001) y los afectos (Ahmed, 2015), se toma como fuente principal la experiencia de la artista y se reflexiona sobre la potencia del arte como archivo (Guasch, 2005), la idea de poética del resto (López, 2018) y las imágenes anacrónicas (Didi-Huberman, 2011) que se sugieren en escena para considerar aquellos objetos escénicos como objetos-restos y sus usos en las obras como ejercicios de memoria. De este modo, se propone la idea del archivo escénico como repertorio de supervivencias para pensar qué otros modos de archivo habilitan estos objetos-restos y sus dimensiones corporales y afectivas, así como las implicancias de abordar las experiencias singulares para la historización de los acontecimientos escénicos.
Voices in Silence
Authors: Ormeño Castro Javier Alfonso
Published: November 2023

This paper explores the effects of hospitality rites and the co-creation of common spaces as a means to achieve transitional justice in Peru, 20 years after the 1980–⁠2000 internal armed conflict. It describes a tea ceremony in La Hoyada, a place used by the Army as a clandestine burial ground. A foreign act of hospitality breaks the temporality of the site; mindful actions create silence, and the voices of people are better heard. This work describes the development of an incipient methodology, an intimate language of presence, and how video recordings of participants’ testimonies captured the feelings arising in a one-time silent event.
Assam Flood and Financial Loss in Agricultural Production: A Study on Mitigation Strategy Adopted by the Farmers of Dhemaji District
Authors: Borah Sangita , Buragohain Arpan
Published: November 2023

Background: Assam is considered as a flood prone state, as this natural disaster creates devastating situation almost every year. The study was conducted in Dhemaji district of Assam which is in the list of highly flood hazard index. The district was selected to know the impact of flood on financial loss for agricultural production and to study the mitigation strategy adopted by the flood affected farmers in the district. Methods: For that a multistage random sampling technique was adopted to select flood affected farmers from the district. Financial loss for agricultural production due to flood was estimated by calculating financial loss for crop loss, agricultural asset loss and livestock loss for the study area. Flood situation and Non flood situation was compared while going for calculation of financial loss for crop due to flood. Henry Garret ranking technique was adopted to rank the problems face by the farmers. Result: The result reflected that net return from crop production was recorded to be less (Group I 1032.44Rs/ha and Group II 3830.99 Rs/ha) in flood situation than the non-flood situation (Group I 7051.30 Rs/ha and Group II 8330.08 Rs/ha).Total financial loss due to crop loss, asset loss and livestock loss was found to be high for size group II farmers (Rs 39094.33) then the size group I (Rs 36643.40). Majority of the respondents (79.17 per cent) preferred migration as the best coping mechanism to protect them from flood loss.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue explorar las nociones matemáticas presentes en la práctica cotidiana de restauración de las iglesias patrimoniales de Chiloé, Chile. Bajo un camino metodológico cualitativo-etnográfico se implementó un protocolo de entrevista semiestructurada, aplicadas a cinco carpinteros que trabajaron en restauración de iglesias a través de la Fundación Amigos de las Iglesias de Chiloé. Los resultados muestran que la práctica cotidiana involucra cinco momentos de restauración: instalación de faenas, etapa de desarme, fundaciones, reestructuración y terminaciones. En ellos están presentes nociones matemáticas asociadas a los sistemas de medición, las figuras geométricas (representaciones del paralelepípedo, pirámide y cubo) y sus propiedades, sistemas de referencia, números, funciones y sus aplicaciones, ángulos, líneas rectas, entre otros. Estos hallazgos son un insumo para el desarrollo de tareas contextualizadas que promuevan conocimientos matemáticos en los estudiantes y se fomente la valoración de la cultura propia, conectándola con la matemática institucional desarrollada en las aulas de clases por profesores y estudiantes.
Afetlerde Göçmen Olmak: 6 Şubat Depremi Hatay Örneği
Authors: DURUEL Mehmet
Published: November 2023

Afetler ve göç insan hayatında önemli yer eden hadiselerdir. Her iki hadisede hayatın akışı kesilmekte ve başka bir mecraya girmektedir. Alışılagelmiş rutin hayat akışı tamamen değişmekte, ekonomik, sosyal, politik ve hatta çoğu zaman psikolojik olarak yeni bir dünyanın yeni koşullarında yaşmak zorunluluğu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Afet ve göç olayını deneyimleyen insanlar için artık hiçbir şey eskisi gibi değildir, olmayacaktır. Bu yeni durum beraberinde bir dizi sorun alanları getirmekte; söz konusu sorunlar da kişinin kendi başına çözebileceği sınırların çok ötesinde olmaktadır. Nitekim gerek afet gerekse göç sorunlarının çözümü çoğu zaman tek başına devlet mekanizmalarının dahi yetersiz kaldığı, çok taraflı, çok aktörlü yapıların işbirliği ve koordinasyonunu kapsayan bir yönetim sürecini gerektirmektedir. 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde Kahramanmaraş merkezli olup on bir ili etkileyen deprem hadisesi de bir afetin ötesinde bir felaket olarak tanımlanmıştır. Kamuoyunda “Asrın Felaketi” olarak değerlendirilen depremde en fazla etkilenen illerin başında Hatay gelmektedir. Nitekim söz konusu felakette yaşanan can kayıplarının yarısından fazlası Hatay’da gerçekleşmiştir. 2011 yılından bu yana ülkelerindeki karışıklık ve savaş nedeniyle bölgede bulunan Suriyeli göçmenler de depremden çok ciddi biçimde etkilenmişlerdir. Hali hazırda göçmen olmaktan kaynaklı kırılganlığa sahip olan Suriyeli sığınmacıların yaşanılan deprem felaketi ile birlikte bu zor durumları daha da derinleşmekte ve kötüleşmektedir. Kırılganlık adeta katmerleşmektedir. Bir insan hem depremzede, hem göçmen, hem engelli hem de kadın olabilmektedir. Söz konusu her kırılganlık durumu kişilerin hayatını daha da zorlaştırmakta ve korunmayı çok daha acil ve zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada depremin en yıkıcı olduğu kentlerin başında gelen Hatay’da göçmenlerin deprem deneyimleri irdelenmekte yaşadıkları zorluklar ve bu zorluklar karşısında üretilen sosyal politikalar değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden mülakat tekniği kullanılmıştır. Söz konusu metot saha gözlemleri ve görüşmelerle desteklenmiştir.
Childhood Overweight and Obesity in Turkey: A Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Perspective
Authors: AKTAR Rengin
Published: November 2023

Abstract

Objective: Childhood overweight and obesity have seen a dramatic increase in Turkey and other middle-income countries. The goal of this study is to understand the role of adverse exposures during pregnancy and infancy on young children’s risk of developing overweight and obesity.

Methods: Study uses four cross-sections of Turkish Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) between 1993 and 2008. Multilevel logistic modeling with random intercepts is applied to 5872 children between the ages of 2 and 5 in order to assess the main determinants of overweight and obesity.

Results: Findings show that maternal obesity, fetal overnutrition, and lack of infant breastfeeding are significant determinants of children’s risk of overweight and obesity, and may in fact be more important than the typical socio-economic determinants of child health, such as maternal education and household wealth. Conclusion: Public health efforts to prevent childhood overweight and obesity would be incomplete without considerations of maternal health and nutrition at the time of conception and during pregnancy, and of proper infant nutrition.
Exploration of ZnO Doped Nitrogen-Carbon Derived from Polyamide-Imide for Propane Dehydrogenation

A series of ZnO doped nitrogen-carbon materials (xZnO-N-C) with ZnO content of 5-40% are prepared by vacuum curing-carbonization strategy using polyamide-imide as N-C source and zinc nitrate as metal source for propane dehydrogenation (PDH). 20ZnO-N-C exhibits outstanding initial activity (propane conversion of 35.2% and propene yield of 24.6%) and relatively low deactivation rate (0.071 h-1) at 600 ◦C. The detailed characterization results show that small ZnO nanoparticles (5.5 nm) with high dispersion on the catalyst could be obtained by adjusting ZnO loading. Moreover, much more nitrogen-based species especially ZnNx species are formed on 20ZnO-N-C by comparison with 20ZnO-N-C-air prepared by curing-carbonization without vacuum, which may contribute for the higher product selectivity and catalytic stability of 20ZnO-N-C. The probable active sites for PDH reaction on the catalyst system are proposed to be C=O species and Zn2+ species. Moreover, the aggregation of ZnO nanoparticles is the primary reason for the activity loss on this catalyst system. The present finding not only provides the feasible construction strategy for the metal oxide doped nitrogen-carbon materials but also valuable guidance for the design of efficient catalyst in dehydrogenation of light alkane.

Authors: Simka Marian , Skuła Marcin
Published: November 2023

Background. This is a retrospective analysis of the results of treatment for varicose veins using the sandwich technique with cyanoacrylate glue and foam sclerotherapy. This novel method al-lows for substantial reduction of amount of glue needed for the vein closure, and minimizes the risk of granuloma formation and allergic reaction related to the epifascial administration of cy-anoacrylate.

Methods: This technique was used in 60 patients, 77 intrafascial veins were managed. Vein closures were performed with Venex cyanoacrylate glue and 1-3% polidocanol foam. All proce-dures were done under ultrasonographic control, though direct percutaneous punctures of target veins. Follow-up were scheduled 1-3 week after the procedure. If revealed, unclosed segments of the target veins were obliterated at these follow-up visits, with glue and/or sclerotherapy.

Results. There were no serious adverse events intra- or postprocedurally. The technical success rate was 100%. The primary success rate at 1-3 week follow-up was 84.4%. The primary assisted success rate, after additional closures, was 100%.

Conclusions. We demonstrated that the treatment for varicose veins, using sandwich tech-nique, which combines cyanoacrylate glue and foam sclerotherapy, can be safe and efficient.

Pregelatinized starch is a common type of physically modified starch with wide applications, especially in the food industry. This study aimed to obtain information about the effect of cooking temperature on the characteristics of pregelatinized sago starch and to obtain the best cooking temperature. The treatment in this study was variation in cooking temperature (without pregelatinization, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C, 90°C, and 100°C). Data obtained were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and continued with Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) at a 5% level. The results showed that variations in pregelatinization temperature significantly affected all observed parameters. The best treatment was pregelatinization temperature 90°C, with moisture, amylose content, swelling power, starch solubility, WHC, and gelatinization degree of 13%; 24,94%; 16,90 g/g; 58,22%; 131,06%; and 42,17% respectively. The gelatinization profile of sago starch was selected with the respective viscosity values: peak 5473 cP, heat 1509 cP, breakdown 3964 cP, final 2964 cP, and setback 1419 cP.

The number of restaurants has increased recently and leads to a pierce competition in this business. To be more competitive, restaurant owners need to pay more attention on customer satisfaction. This study is aimed to examine customer satisfaction in restaurants using three variables, namely food quality, services, and environment facilities in a restaurant. Unlike studies in this area the variables were evaluated using food safety criteria where the customers’s knowledge about food safety issues were measured to analyze whether it affects the customer perception and satisfaction. The importance-performance analysis (IPA) is used to explain which attributes that need to be improved after mapping the customer expectations and perceptions. Implementing IPA to could help restaurant owners to concentrate on improving the priority quality attributes, i.e., the attributes that are important for customers but have relatively low performance. A questionnaire with food safety perspective question were distributed to 400 customers and 395 questioner were completed. The IPA Diagram reveals that the higher the consumer's knowledge the more attributes were suggested to be improved.
