La enfermedad producida por el SARS-CoV-2 constituye una pandemia declarada con alta contagiosidad y letalidad en grupos de riesgo. En menos de tres meses la humanidad ha tenido que lidiar con este virus sin saber mucho de su patogenia y tratamiento. Se presentan cinco casos atendidos en el Hospital de Emergencias Villa El Salvador (HEVES) en Lima, Perú. Se destaca la importancia de la clasificación clínica en cuatro estadios: leve, moderado, severo y crítico y revisamos el tratamiento antiviral, inmunomodulador y antitrombótico consecuente a tal clasificación. La terapia antiviral con hidroxicloroquina y azitromicina obtuvo resultados favorables en cuatro casos: sobre todo, cuando se inició en los primeros días de enfermedad. Sin embargo, su eficacia es aún controversial y se esperan resultados de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados. Mientras tanto, su uso en fase temprana de la enfermedad, en estadios leves o moderados, debería mantenerse.

Facial Image processing is an active research area which involves various applications such as face detection, face recognition, person identification and also demographic information collection that is age, gender and race from the face. In general, all these applications fall under either holistic approach or local approach. In holistic approach, the whole face image is used for further processing. In local approach, the face is divided into various blocks which may contains the facial regions like eyes, eye brows, mouth, nose, cheek and chin regions. In order to develop a robust algorithm against scale, illumination, pose and expression issues, a component based or part based approaches were developed. For component based approach, the extraction of various face parts needs an automatic method to crop the facial regions closest to the manual cropping. The method of automatically extracting various facial parts is addressed in this paper. The Constrained Local Model (CLM) approach is used to identify the facial landmarks which in turn used to segregate the different facial parts. The performance of proposed approach is evaluated by ground truth of the respective facial components. The correspondence between the automatic extracted facial regions and ground truth is evaluated by SIFT descriptor. Experimental results on matching manually cropped facial regions against automatically extracted regions show that the CLM approach achieves promising performance. The extraction of various facial region will be very useful in Face recognition.

The main aim of this study is to conduct the structural audit of the Sadhu Vaswani Pul which is a Rail Over Bridge, situated in Koregaon Park, Pune and to establish the displacement sensors developed in the institution as a reliable test for structural auditing of the bridge decks. Traditional methods of auditing like the Rebound Hammer test and the Ultrasonic pulse velocity tests have been considered in this study. Very few methods are available for testing the deck displacement and this problem has been tackled here. The novelty of this research is that the institutionally developed displacement sensors are used for determining the deck displacement of the selected bridge. These sensors have not been used before and no on-site techniques are available to obtain the deck deflections under real-time loading. The displacement test on the decks was conducted. The critical decks which were determined during the Visual Inspections were tested by the displacement sensors. A two-axle truck of 18.5 tonnes was passed over the bridge deck and the displacement readings were recorded at the same time. The displacement reading thus obtained indicated the deflection of the deck under a uniform rolling load. The displacements obtained were then validated by the standards given in AASTHO-LFRD. After conducting the above tests, the overall condition of the bridge was determined and the critical sections which should be repaired were mentioned.

Modern healthcare systems generate voluminous amount of digital health data. These E-Health data are shared between patients and among groups of physicians and medical technicians for processing. Due to the demand for continuous availability and handling of these massive E-Health data, mostly these data are outsourced to cloud storage. Being cloud-based computing, the sensitive patient data is stored in a third-party server where data analytics are performed, hence more concern about security raises. This paper proposes a secure analytics system which preserves the privacy of patients’ data. In this system, before outsourcing, the data are encrypted using Paillier homomorphic encryption which allows computations to be performed over encrypted dataset. Then Decision Tree Machine Learning algorithm is used over this encrypted dataset to build the classifier model. This encrypted model is outsourced to cloud server and the predictions about patient’s health status is displayed to the user on request. In this system nowhere the data is decrypted throughout the process which ensures the privacy of patients’ sensitive data.

A partir de um enfoque histórico e institucional da sua economia, o artigo mostra que os arranjos institucionais construídos no país ao longo do tempo, essencialmente, incentivaram a lógica rentista dos atores sociais, de empresários a sindicatos. Esse legado institucional do país construído sobre a dependência do petróleo e a lógica rentista permaneceu no governo Chávez.   Abstract: This paper aims to present and discuss the main obstacles  faced by the Venezuelan  economy to overcome its excessive dependence on oil revenues. From a historical and institutional focus of its economy, this article shows that institutionalarrangements  built in the country over time essentially encouraged the  rentier logic of social actors, from entrepreneurs to unions. This institutional legacy built on the country's dependence on oil and  rentier logic remained on the Chavez government.
O genocídio em Ruanda e a inércia da comunidade internacional / Rwanda genocide and the inaction of the international community

Published: July 2020

Entre abril e julho de 1994, o mundo assistiu impassível ao extermínio de mais de 800.000 pessoas em Ruanda. Tal morticínio é considerado o terceiro maior ocorrido desde 1950, comparável apenas àqueles verificados no Cambodja e em Bangladesh, na década de 1970. Entretanto, no caso de Ruanda, há um dado assustador: por ocasião da matança, a população do país era de aproximadamente 7.500.000 habitantes, sendo 6.300.000 hutus, 1.100.000 tutsis e 100.000 pigmeus. Isto significa que cerca de 11% dos ruandeses e ¾ da população tutsi foram eliminados em apenas um trimestre. A comunidade internacional nada fez para evitar a matança. Pelo contrário: além de não intervir diretamente, a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) reduziu drasticamente o contingente da força de paz que mantinha em Ruanda, a despeito das advertências do General Roméo Alain Dallaire, comandante das tropas da UNAMIR, de que a tragédia estava a caminho. Passado o estupor provocado pelo genocídio, restou o problema fundamental da reconstrução do país. A esse respeito, é preciso assinalar as precaríssimas condições econômicas da região, o que é agravado pelo estraçalhamento do tecido social durante a matança. Ademais, não podemos esquecer que, se em 1994, o mundo assistiu passivamente à dilaceração de Ruanda, agora poucos estão preocupados com as dificuldades de reconstrução de um lugar que não tem importância estratégica e não dispõe de grandes riquezas naturais.Os fatores que levaram ao genocídio em Ruanda e a inércia da comunidade internacional para impedir o massacre são os temas deste artigo.  Between April and July 1994 the world seemed not affected by the extermination of more than 800.000 people in Rwanda. This is the third largest massacre since 1950 and can only be compared to those occurred in Cambodia and Bangladesh in the1970’s. But in the case of Rwanda there is something truly alarming: at the time of the genocide there were about 7.500.000 inhabitants in the country; 6.300.000 Hutus; 1.100.000 Tutsis; and 100.000 pigmies, what means that about 11% of Rwandans and ¾ of the Tutsi population were killed in a period of three months.   The international community did nothing to avoid the massacre, and the United Nations (UN) even reduced its peacekeepers in Rwanda despite Roméo Alain Dallaire, the general commander of the UNAMIR troops in the country, having warned about the tragedy to come.In the aftermath of the world’s astonishment with the genocide the fundamental task is the problem of country’s reconstruction under very difficult economic conditions remained, now exacerbated by the social laceration it provoked. In addition, it cannot be forgotten that if in 1994 the world did nothing to avoid the massacre, nowadays there are still very few people worried about the reconstruction of a place poor in natural resources.The article analyses the conditions that conducted to Rwanda’s genocide and the inaction of the international community to avoid it.

ABSTRAK: Fokus dari penelitian ini adalah (1) Bagaimana asal mula orang Bajo di Desa Terapung Kecamatan Mawasangka Kabupaten Buton Tengah? 2) Bagaimana pola pemukiman orang Bajo di Desa Terapung di Kecamatan Mawasangka Kabupaten Boton Tengah? 3) Bagaimana keadaan ekonomi orang Bajo yang ada di Desa Terapung Kecamatan Mawasangka Kabupaten Buton Tengah? 4) Bagaimana proses sosialisasi orang Bajo di Desa Terapung terhadap masyarakat di sekitarnya?            Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode sejarah yang terdiri atas: (1) Heuristik yaitu pengumpulan data meliputi penelitian keperpustakaan, penelitian lapangan, pengamatan, wawancara, dan studi dokumen; (2) Verifikasi meliputi kritik ekstern dan kritik intern; (3) Historiografi (penyusunan data) meliputi penafsiran, penjelasan, penyajian. Dalam kajian pustaka penelitian ini menggunakan konsep sejarah, konsep desa dan desa terapung, konsep suku Bajo, serta penelitian yang relevan dengan judul penelitian ini.            Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Sejarah Desa Terapung warganya  berasal dari Desa Kaudani yang berpenduduk dari suku Bajo Semenanjung Malaka yang awal kedatangan mereka tahun 1970; 2) Keadaan pemukiman masyarakat pada umumnya ditentukan oleh lingkungan sekitar misalnya pemukiman di pesisir pantai  membentuk perkampungan yang memanjang sedangkan suatu pemukiman yang berbentuk lembah sesuai dengan landscape (kontur tanah) yang membentuk perkampungan yang mengelompok; 3) Dari temuan penelitian diketahui keadaan ekonomi masyarakat Desa Terapung lebih baik dibandingkan dengan keadaan sebelumnya.  Hal itu antara lain dilihat dari perkembangan ekonomi yang sudah memadai, yang salah satunya sumber perikanan; 4) Sosialisasi orang Bajo di Desa Terapung sangat kental sehingga sangat terjalin hubungan persatuan dan kesatuannya baik dalam hal membangun rumah tempat kegiatan, gotong royong mereka sangat tinggi.  Kata Kunci: Asal Mula, Pola Pemukiman, ekonomi, sosialisasi
Relación entre acompañamiento pedagógico y práctica reflexiva docente
Authors: Agreda Reyes Alvaro Alcidez , Pérez Azahuanche Manuel Ángel
Published: July 2020

La práctica reflexiva que desarrollan los docentes durante su ejercicio e interacción con sus estudiantes ponen en práctica un conjunto de actividades de análisis y valoración antes, durante y después de esas acciones pedagógicas. Ellos mismos enjuician y cuestionan sus actuaciones mediante la reflexión, de modo que les permite mejorar su rol orientador y mediador del proceso de aprendizaje. Por otro lado, el acompañamiento pedagógico como estrategia formativa ligada al intercambio de experiencias pedagógicas se inicia en el registro de situaciones observables, el diálogo reflexivo y los grupos de inter-aprendizaje entre docentes acompañados y acompañantes que permiten transformar sus prácticas docentes. La investigación descriptiva no experimental con diseño correlacional explicativo tuvo el objetivo de determinar la relación entre el acompañamiento pedagógico y la práctica reflexiva de los docentes de las Instituciones Educativas con Jornada Escolar Completa de Trujillo, 2018.

Regulación del espacio urbano, espacio escolar y dinámicas de solidaridad en la vida cotiana. Estudio de caso en dos provincias Argentinas
Authors: Bocchio María Cecilia , Villagran Carla Andrea
Published: July 2020

En las últimas dos décadas regular las espacialidades urbanas en escenarios de crecimiento de las desigualdades, viene involucrando la elaboración y circulación de racionalidades y tecnologías de poder que configuran prácticas de control de las conductas de la población asociadas a la Nueva Gestión Pública. A modo de hipótesis proponemos que los procesos de escolarización en los sectores populares se traman en las dinámicas de las espacialidades urbanas y escolares. Si bien las políticas públicas y, especialmente las educativas, enmarcan la vida escolar, las vinculaciones entre la puesta en acto de esas políticas y el espacio urbano definen las condiciones efectivas para la escolarización de la población. De modo que, en la configuración de las políticas intervienen tanto racionalidades y modos de regulación tecnocráticos del espacio urbano, como así también dinámicas de autoresponsabilización por el espacio escolar que se manifiestan en forma de solidaridad entre los sujetos escolares para con la escolarización de la población.
Excitonic and electronic transitions in Me–Sb2Se3 structures

Published: July 2020

The optical anisotropy of the Sb2Se3 crystals was investigated at 300 and 11 K. Excitonic features of four excitons (A, B, C, and D) were observed in the optical spectra of the Sb2Se3 single crystals and in the photoelectric spectra of the Me–Sb2Se3 structures. The exciton parameters, such as the ground (n = 1) and excited (n = 2) state positions and the binding energy (Ry), were determined. The effective mass of the electrons at the bottom of the conduction band (mc* = 0.67m0) as well as the holes at the four top valence bands (mv1* = 3.32m0, mv2* = 3.83m0, mv3* = 3.23m0 and mv4* = 3.23m0) were calculated in the Г-point of the Brillouin zone. The magnitude of the valence band splitting V1–V2 due to the spin–orbit interaction (Δso = 35 meV) and the crystal field (Δcf = 13 meV) were estimated in the Brillouin zone center. The energy splitting between the bands V3–V4 was 191 meV. The identified features were discussed based on both the theoretically calculated energy band structure and the excitonic band symmetry in the Brillouin zone (k = 0) for crystals with an orthorhombic symmetry (Рnma). The photoelectric properties of the Me–Sb2S3 structures were investigated in the spectral range 1–1.8 eV under E||c and E⟂c polarization conditions and at different applied voltages.
