The Impact Assessment of the VAT reduction in Tourism Sector
Authors: Cela Griselda
Published: October 2018

As a part of measures to support tourism sector as one of the government’s strategic priorities, the Albanian government reduced the tourism value added tax (VAT). The main purpose of this article is to analyze the effects of reducing the VAT for Tourism from 20% to 6%. In order to evaluate the impact and benefit of the introduction of the VAT rate reduction in an informed manner and determine whether the objectives of the initiative have been met, the following questions are considered: • Did the reduction in the VAT rate result in lower consumer prices in the impacted categories? • Has there been an increase in tourist numbers as a result of the VAT rate reduction and what has been the impact on revenue? • Has there been an increase in demand / activity in the tourism industry as a result of the VAT rate reduction? • Has there been an increase in employment in the tourism industry as a result of the VAT rate reduction? The assessment framework enables an indicative assessment of the VAT rate cut’s impact through consideration of the key questions referred to previously. The term “indicative assessment” is used owing to the data challenges around aligning various data sets, data lags and the limited time since the cut came into effect. Clearly the question of whether a specific input or policy measure, such as the VAT decrease, has contributed strongly to, or in effect led to, an increase in tourism activity or employment within tourism sector.
The Impact of Managers’ Emotional Intelligence on Employees’ Work Life Balance: A Field Study at Jordanian Private Hospitals
Authors: Abu Bakir Sahar Moh’d
Published: October 2018

This paper focuses on testing the impact of managers’ emotional intelligence on employees work life balance in Jordanian private hospitals. 6 out of 13 hospitals were randomly selected, and 300 employees from nonmanagerial levels were surveyed using the questionnaire. 286 questionnaires were also analyzed. The most important findings of the study show that the managers in the examined hospitals have emotional intelligence skills, and the studied hospitals provide their employees with work life balance activities. The results of multiple regression revealed that there is a statistically significant impact of managers’ (empathy and social skills) on employees’ work life balance. The study revealed that there are differences of respondents’ perception of work life balance initiative due to their gender, while there are no differences of employees’ perception due to their marital status and number of children. Based on the results, the researcher recommended that more attention should be given to boost managers and employees emotional intelligence skills, and to broaden the scope of the provided work life balance activities in health care organizations and hospitals in particular.

Authors: Tan Min , Wu Maoguo
Published: October 2018

The rapid development of the Internet has promoted online education as a new method of education. This paper analyzes the edX platform from various aspects, such as business environment and industry development, technology maturity, and recommendation algorithms and their feasibility. This paper mainly focuses on the curriculum recommendation mechanism under association rules on the edX platform. With the fast development of online education platform, curriculum recommendation technology has matured to a high extent. The recommendation mechanism based on association rules chosen by edX also proves to be feasible at data acquisition level and technical level. However, some defects of this mechanism per se have brought certain risks and limitations to edX’s future sustainable development.

Published: October 2018

The public and private green spaces of the communes of Cocody and Plateau of Abidjan city are deteriorating because of lack of financial means for their maintenance. The overall objective of this study is to demonstrate the importance of payments for ecosystem services (PES) in their self-financing. To carry out this study, a survey was conducted among users of 3 public gardens in the Plateau and private garden owners in Cocody. It aimed to identify the willingness to pay (CAP) of users of public gardens for their management and to identify incentives for the creation of private gardens in their own concessions. Analysis of the data reveals a PAC in the form of visiting tax or voluntary donation ranging from 100 FCFA (0.15 €) to 2000 FCFA (3.07 €). Respondents who declare a visiting tax between 100 FCFA and 500 FCFA are the most numerous with a percentage of 92.95. Students, students and unemployed visitors are on the sidelines of visitors who refuse to pay for the management of public gardens. If we stick to the visit fees proposed by the majority of the interviewees, it would be possible to collect 79,800 FCFA (122.76 €) per day for 339,000 FCFA (521.53 €) for all 3 public gardens. With regard to the creation of private gardens, a financial subsidy mechanism could motivate the population. This study demonstrates that the introduction of payments for ecosystem services could be an incentive for the development of green spaces in urban areas.

Published: October 2018

In spite of decenniums of advancement, a numerous foodborne outbreaks continue to occur each year; these were mostly happening due to malpractices of employees working in foodservices. This study aims to investigate the role of food safety training in improving food handlers' practices through the application of Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) model. Primary data were collected using a self-completed questionnaires that were collected from 100 Food and Beverage (F&B) employees working in hotels at the north of Jordan. Findings confirmed the role of food safety training in increasing F&B employees’ knowledge which positively correlates with their food handling practices. Furthermore, this study explored work environment elements affecting the transformation of learned knowledge into proper food handling practices; these include management motivation, availability of necessary resources and facilities and reinforcement programs. The study contributed to knowledge by employing the aforementioned variables to produce an adapted version of the KAP model.

Published: October 2018

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the emergence of newly independent States marked the uprising of a new era in the region of the Caspian Basin. Failing to reach a consensus regarding the legal nature of the Caspian, Russia, Turkmenistan, Iran, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan’s policies have been characterized by a perpetual pursuit of establishing themselves as key-role agents in the region. The question about “Lake or Sea” is yet to be answered after many decades. This paper focuses on analyzing the significance of the Caspian Basin for the littoral States and how it determines their political agenda.

Published: October 2018

Households in Bayangam district in the west high land of Cameroon face many difficulties, one of the most important of which is access to water resources in terms of quality and quantity. Most people travel long distances in search of water, which is sometimes not reassuring. However, many boreholes as well as Village Committees of Water Point Management (CVGPE) have been set up in this locality. From this observation, the hypothesis according to which the existence of the Village Management Committees does not ensure the sustainable management of the water points in Bayangam was formulated. To verify this hypothesis, literature searches as well as direct observations in the study area were first conducted. Then, survey questionnaires from 150 households were administered. Finally, interviews  with 14 resource persons representing the key players were conducted. The results of the study show that many CVGPEs have been established in the Bayangam district in recent decades, with the aim of ensuring better management of the water points set up by a multitude of stakeholders. However, most of these water points are almost non-functional or poorly maintained. Faced with this situation, it is important: to carry out a complete diagnosis of the works for a rehabilitation, to improve the choice of the members for more efficient services, to encourage a thorough involvement of  the beneficiaries and a more remarkable support of the Bayangam commune to manage water points for a sustainable supply of populations.
Changing Patterns in Process Management and Improvement: Using RPA and RDA in Non- Manufacturing Organizations
Authors: Baranauskas Gedas
Published: October 2018

Being, from the first sight, a complementary part of process management within an organization, process management automation draws a very broad and promising perspective to the whole business field since it is a step closer to the smarter and next level efficiency. Therefore, this particular theoretical scientific research elaborates the topic of the application of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Robotic Desktop Automation (RDA) concepts within the work activities in non-manufacturing organizations as this is a non-widely examined area and offers the whole specter of opportunities. Therefore, focuses are based on process management in organizations where client service is key activity and direction with soft systems and operations used as working tools. In addition, a comparative analysis of key similarities and differences of terms and practical application of RPA/RDA within the manufacturing and non-manufacturing sector is provided. Problematic areas, which this particular topic escalates, have a wide framework: first, it is noticed that the scientific field regarding the application of RPA and related concepts in combination with other process management methods (for example, Lean, Agile or Business Process Management (BPM)) has not been widely discussed. Second, in generally most of the past and ongoing scientific researches and practices tendencies and problems in process automation within the manufacturing sector field have been investigated. Accordingly, it is missing both quantitative and qualitative analyses of past and current situations in non-manufacturing business and public organizations. To generalize, it is agreed that process automation has made a notorious impact not only on the tendencies of process management within the business field but also on a society as a human resource. Therefore, investigation of this topic as a very relevant subject is essential since it has a direct and very strong impact on business cycles, technological evolution, and job market.

The nursing profession has gone through a process of professionalization in the last decades, which allows to recognize that Nursing emerged as a social activity that has been institutionalized, both in its training and in its work practice, affirming itself as a science, profession, discipline and art. Nursing professionals must generate, promote and apply reflective and critical thinking in their actions, professional, ethical, humanistic and technological (Cardenas, 2015). The objective of this study is to describe the reflexive and critical thinking of the students of the Degree in Nursing of the Faculty of Health Sciences. This is a qualitative study, carried out with 5 students of the faculty of health sciences, we used a representative sample of students who are attending the 2nd, 4th and 8th semester of Nursing Degree. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview (Face to Face). Results: From the constant comparison of data analysis emerged the subcategories 1) critical thinking; 2) reflective thinking; 3) decision making; 4) reflective practice. Conclusions: The results of this study achieved the objective of describing reflective thinking and critical thinking in students of the Nursing Degree in the Faculty of Health Sciences. We identified the empirical categories of the study phenomenon that represents the result attributed to the perception of Critical and Reflective thinking. This resulted in four interrelated sub-categories, reflective thinking, critical thinking, decision-making and reflective practice.
A New Adaptive Filter Approach for Acoustic Echo Canceller in Teleconference Systems
Authors: Alaeddine Hamze Haidar , Beydoun Ali
Published: October 2018

A flexible Frequency domain Block Recursive Least Squares (FBRLS) algorithm using the Multi-Delay Filter (MDF) is presented throughout this paper. In term of performances, the MDF-FBRLS adaptive filter introduces smaller block delay and is usually faster and suitable for ideal time-varying system such as an acoustic echo in a teleconference room. The implementation of the FBRLS algorithm using MDF adaptive filter allows reducing the FFT size and consequently optimizing the hardware implementation that could be performed using standard DSP chips. These good performances are achieved by using smaller block size and updating frequently the weight vectors which will reduce the total execution time of the adaptive process. Simulation results show that the MDF-FBRLS algorithm is better than the FBRLS algorithm in terms of the total execution time and the efficiency of the computational complexity.

Published: October 2018

This paper focuses on the influence of Acacia senegal on soil and cowpea production (Vigna unguiculata) at the N'Dounga Forest Station (INRAN) through a complete randomized block design. Treatments based on its association with cowpea in isolated trees and planting were applied. Chemical parameters, nitrogen fixation potential, and cowpea production were evaluated under these treatments. The results show an improvement in the chemical property of the soil in the presence of A. Senegal. Since the pH is acidic irrespective of the modality, the analysis of the variance shows a highly significant difference between the control and the other treatments for the water pH (P <0.000 1). Also, the nitrogen fixation potential cowpea was better expressed in his presence. However, the A. Senegal has less influenced the production of cowpea. The yields of pods, seeds, and fodder were reduced compared to the control. This study also revealed the dynamics of mineral elements after harvests, which reassures producers about the sustainability of the tree/crop system.

Published: October 2018

The choice of modification technique for a communications system depends to a large extent on the nature and characteristics of the medium in which it must operate (Hrasnica et al., 2005). In a PLC (Power Line Communications) system, the first applications in the LDR band (oriented to the control of devices) operated with monocarrier modulations, such as ASK, BPSK, and FSK. This allows for low implementation costs, provided that it operates at low data rates and with an error correction system. It is clear that applications require a higher data rate. The modulation technique must overcome challenges such as the necessary equalization for the cause of the non-linearity of the channel, or avoid the propagation delays and the multipath caused by the impedance differences in the branches. Likewise, it must offer flexibility and avoid the use of certain frequencies if they are altered or assigned to another service and, therefore, cannot be used in PLC. In this scenario, one of the techniques that have been imposed in the most used developments in NB-PLC as in BB-PLC has been Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). One of its most attractive aspects from the point of view of its complexity is the possibility of implementing the structure of its multifrequency modulation and demodulation scheme through a simple Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) and its corresponding direct transform, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Based on this technique, an appropriate transceiver scheme for operating on a PLC channel model was presented. This development implements the error correction technique proposed for NB-PLC.

The maintenance and stability of many terrestrial ecosystems are in part related to the ecosystem functions and services of soil organisms. The present study aims to evaluate the influence of litter biomass produced by three types of vegetation in the Lamto reserve on the dynamics of earthworm community. Each vegetation formations has been subdivided into 3 parcels. These parcels were geo-referenced using a GPS and mapped using QGIS software. For each plot, 25 points were randomly selected using their GPS coordinates. The litters were collected by manual collection to evaluate their biomass. Monoliths of the TSBF (Tropical Soil Biology) type were dug in order to collect the earthworms by direct manual sorting. Also, soil clumps were collected to determine the organic matter levels by the method of lossto-fire. In total, 12 species of earthworms belonging to 3 ecological categories were collected. The forest block had the highest density of earthworms with a predominance of epigeic earthworms followed by grassy savannah with a predominance of endogeic earthworms. The wooded savannah has the lowest density of earthworms with a predominance of anecic earthworms. In terms of species richness, the grassy savannah contained the greatest number of earthworm species followed by the wooded savannah and the forest block that had the same number of species. In the three vegetations formations, it was found that earthworm densities were correlated with litter biomass as well as organic matter levels (correlation between earthworm density and litter biomass: r 2 =0, 75; correlation between density of earthworms and the rate of organic matter: r 2 =0, 93).

Agriculture and livestock are the main socio-economic activities of the population of the Zinder region (Niger). However, these activities have negative impacts on groundwater quality, which is the main source of water supply for this population. In this work, the physicochemical quality of the waters of the Socle of the Zinder region was studied during the rainy and dry seasons. Twenty-four samples were the subject of a physico-chemical analysis. The data obtained were processed by the hydrochemical method by the Diagram software and the principal component analysis by the XLSTAT software. Of the waters analyzed, 83% have normal pH values (6.5 - 8.5) and 17% acid pH <6.5 during both seasons. The nitrate levels of Yekoua (62.04 and 63.36 mg.L-1), Dan Ladi (123.64 and 146.96 mg.L-1), Bourbourwa (64.65 and 80.08 mg.L -1) and Kazoé (130.68 and 124.52 mg.L-1) and fluoride of Kazoé (1.5 mg.L-1), Midik (1.6 mg.L-1) and Bourbourwa (2.98 mg.L-1) during both seasons are abnormal. Four facies characterize the analyzed waters, with a predominance of bicarbonated calci-magnesian(42%) during the rainy season, calci-magnesian bicarbonate (41.7%) and calci-magnesium chloride (41.7%) during the dry season. The residence time by hydrolysis and alteration of silicate rocks and the pluviolessivage of soils are the main mechanisms that govern the mineralization of these waters. These grades, call for remediation treatments. Clays could be promoters for this treatment because they are very available and less expensive.

Published: October 2018

The depletion of natural resources has resulted in a change in farming systems and the change in social relations that have long characterized African societies. For example, slash-and-burn agriculture that has characterized cropping systems in these countries has shown its limits in some areas. In Benin it took new forms resulting in the abandonment of certain soils for the benefit of others: the migration of peasants. This phenomenon has become so widespread today that pressure has been felt in previously vacant areas, leading to many conflicts and tensions between indigenous and immigrants, creating a degree of land insecurity for indigenous people that does not allow them to do so. to adopt sustainable practices for a good use of the land resource. The results obtained were possible thanks to the fieldwork and through the deductive method and descriptive, analytical and cartographic approach. This study has identified the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the massive arrival of agricultural settlers in the land of the confluence Oumé-Beffa, and identify the constraints related to the colonization of agricultural land by migrants and the strategies that they develop to better valorise their contracts in order to propose adapted systems for a sustainable management of the fertility of the lands in the conflict of Oueme-beffa in Ouessè.

A logic for synchronous transitions with dynamic conflict resolution
Authors: Moraes Rodrigues Vanderlei , Rech Wagner Flavio
Published: October 2018

This paper introduces a formalism named DSYNC aimed at. the design and verification of synchronous concurrent systems. The components of this formalism are a transition system and first-order linear-time temporal logic. The DSYNC transition system adopts a synchronous computation model, includes a method to solve write-conflicts, and represents transitions as possibly non-terminating imperative commands. The conflict resolution method is dynamic because it detects conflicts at run-time. The DSYNC logic allows for formal reasoning about DSYNC transition systems using compositional and modular proofs. Such features are missing in other formalisms based on transition systems and temporal logics, although they are important for the verification of a large class of systems. This paper also discusses some of the pragmatics in verifying systems with DSYNC; and considers some extensions to the formalism. DSYNC is based on hte Hoare logic and the UNITY formalism.

Sin embargo, en términos de desempeño neto de comisiones, en comparación con el promedio de la industria destacan en todos los multifondos las AFP Modelo y Habitat, respectivamente. Además, no se detecta relación entre liderazgo en inversiones y desempeño. Conclusiones: el artículo finaliza destacando la importancia de las comisiones en el desempeño neto de los multifondos y en el potencial efecto que una mayor cantidad de competidores tendría en la industria. En este sentido, destaca la AFP Modelo, la cual muestra aproximadamente 1.63% de mejor desempeño que el promedio de la industria, debido a su más baja comisión detectada en el periodo completo de análisis.
PAROL EVIDENCE RULE DOCTRIN AS THE LIMITATION FOR THE PARTIES IN SUBMITTING EVIDENCE BEFORE THE COURT
Authors: Wahana Praditha Suraja
Published: October 2018

Contracts that made by the parties as the basis of engagement are the perfect and strongest proof or facts when there is a contract dispute between the parties which made it. To be reliable then the contents of the contract must be guaranteed the truth. The doctrine parol evidence rule plays a big role to make that happen. This doctrine works primarily in the evidentiary stage of the trial by preventing the submission of evidences which is classified as an extrinsic evidence to be submitted to the courts, since such evidences is highly questionable and therefore potentially fraudulent. However, the application of a rigid and absolute parol evidence rule may also lead to unfavorable situations for contracting parties, so under certain conditions such doctrine by the judge may be overruled. The doctrine if implemented in Indonesia will be support in enforcement and application the articles in BW (Indonesian Civil Code), especially Articles 1342 and Article 1350 BW. Moreover, the application of this doctrine can also improve judicial efficiency in terms of time, cost and personnel. The parties will be benefited from the application of this doctrine, for instance it will protect the truth of the contents of the contract so as to prevent doubts about the contracts they have made and encourage the parties to promote the prudentially principle.

INFLUÊNCIA DO USO DA TERRA EM ÁREAS RURAIS E URBANAS NA PRODUÇÃO E TRANSPORTE DE SEDIMENTOS EM SUSPENSÃO E TURBIDEZ NA BACIA DO RIO CAPIVARI, LAPA-PR
Authors: Hoffmann Tereza Cristina Polato , Oliveira Fabiano Antonio de
Published: October 2018

Este artigo tem como foco a compreensão da influência do uso da terra em ambiente rural e urbano na produção e transporte de sedimentos em suspensão na porção superior da bacia hidrográfica do rio Capivari, município da Lapa/PR, no período de julho/2015 a agosto/2016. Foram realizadas quinze coletas de amostra de sedimentos em suspensão no período em onze pontos distribuídos ao longo da rede hidrográfica. O processo de quantificação da concentração de sedimentos em suspensão foi realizado em laboratório e consiste na filtragem da água em membrana de éster de celulose de porosidade de 0,2µm, sendo que a diferença entre o peso final e o inicial desta é a quantidade de sedimentos em suspensão presente num determinado volume d’água. Simultaneamente, foram realizadas as medições dos níveis de turbidez das amostras de água. Os resultados do mapeamento do uso da terra apontaram a influência da atividade agropecuária na bacia, bem como a importância das edificações e vias na porção urbana e das áreas de vegetação natural localizadas principalmente na porção rural e ao longo da rede hidrográfica, o que demonstra a heterogeneidade do uso da terra na área de estudo e consequentemente da susceptibilidade à produção de sedimentos. Os resultados de carga sedimentar em suspensão e turbidez obtidos evidenciaram a relevância das estradas como vias de conexão entre as vertentes e os canais fluviais, intensificando o processo de transporte de sedimentos. A área de contribuição do arroio Boqueirão, afluente do rio Capivari, de uso predominantemente rural e agrícola, apresentou maior resultado de carga sedimentar em suspensão e turbidez em relação à área de contribuição direta do rio Capivari, com influência urbana e rural, porém com mais áreas de vegetação natural e ripária do que a primeira, o que evidencia o quão importante são o uso da terra e as intervenções antrópicas nos resultados de carga sedimentar e turbidez, bem como a importância da vegetação natural para proteção aos processos erosivos. Portanto, apesar da porção urbana da área de estudo apresentar potencial de produção de sedimentos, a porção rural desta apresentou os maiores resultados de carga sedimentar em suspensão e turbidez.

A Luminescência Opticamente Estimulada (LOE) é uma das técnicas de datação absoluta de sedimentos quaternários baseada em danos causados por radiação em materiais geológicos. A LOE se fundamenta no fato de que parte dessas mudanças não é reversível e aumenta linearmente com o tempo de exposição do mineral à radiação. Na Zona da Mata de Minas Gerais, a investigação de sedimentos fluviais permitiu o reconhecimento de capturas fluviais de afluentes do rio Doce por afluentes do rio Paraíba do Sul. Foi realizada a datação absoluta de sedimentos dos vales dos rios São Manuel e Bagres para subsidiar análises cronológicas dos processos de captura. Deste modo, pôde-se discutir as possibilidades e limitações da técnica quando aplicada em depósitos fluviais no Brasil. A LOE continua sendo uma das técnicas de datação absoluta de sedimentos mais utilizada no mundo, apresentando inegáveis contribuições aos trabalhos de reconstituição paleoambiental. Entretanto, a sua aplicação em sedimentos de ambientes tropicais úmidos e com relevo serrano deve ser realizada com cautela, já que sua eficiência pode ser comprometida por processos de coluvionamento e pedogênese.

Os processos de encouraçamento se referem à presença de sedimentos imóveis (ou imediatamente imóveis) nas calhas fluviais, impedindo a remoção de grãos potencialmente transportáveis. Assim, é formado um pavimento detrítico (cluster) na superfície do leito, que oferece grande resistência aos processos abrasivos. Apesar de serem amplamente discutidos na literatura internacional, há poucas contribuições em âmbito nacional para os estudos sobre encouraçamento. Nesse sentido, o presente trabalho propõe, a partir de uma sistematização de bases teóricas, investigar a ocorrência dos processos de encouraçamento sob a ótica geomorfológica. Para tanto, o Córrego do Rio Grande (Serra do Espinhaço Meridional, MG) é adotado como estudo de caso. A partir da investigação in loco dos pavimentos detríticos que caracterizam os processos de encouraçamento, foi possível associar o rebatimento da presença dos sedimentos imóveis para as condições hidrogeomorfológicas do canal fluvial em três dos quatro segmentos investigados. Evidências de campo apontam que a dinâmica hidrogeomorfológica consequente da presença dos clusters é caracterizada por uma morfologia em poço-corredeira e por uma morfodinâmica marcada por processos de meandramento.

Hernia hiatal mixta con vólvulo gástrico intratorácico: reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura
Authors: Villarreal Ricardo , Bernal Felipe , Cabrera Luis Felipe , Sánchez Ussa Sebastián , Pedraza Mauricio
Published: October 2018

Introducción: El estómago intratorácico volvulado (EIV) es un tipo de hernia hiatal caracterizada por la presencia de una gran porción gástrica en el mediastino. Patología de gran importancia ya que de no operarse oportunamente puede conllevar un mal pronóstico.Caso clínico: Paciente femenina de 56 años con epigastralgia aguda e intolerancia a la vía oral asociada a náuseas y múltiples episodios eméticos de contenido alimentario. Sin antecedentes médicos o quirúrgicos relevantes, endoscopia de vías digestivas altas y una radiografía de tórax en donde reportan un posible vólvulo gástrico con un ensanchamiento del mediastino inferior y presencia de la cámara gástrica a nivel del tórax.Discusión: Debido a que un estómago herniado volvulado a nivel del tórax presenta un alto riesgo de complicaciones, está, en estos infrecuentes casos, indicada la cirugía de urgencia. En pacientes clínicamente estables con una evolución reciente de obstrucción gástrica se sugiere el abordaje laparoscópico para su reducción y reparación de la hernia. Sin embargo, en casos de pacientes inestables, la reparación abierta es el método quirúrgico de elección.
«Agresividad» de las hernioplastias inguinales. Inguinodinia e influencia de abordajes, técnicas y áreas críticas de riesgo neuropático. «Profilaxis»
Authors: Dávila Dorta David
Published: October 2018

El dolor inguinal posoperatorio crónico (somático o neuropático) es la secuela más frecuente, importante y limitante de la cirugía herniaria inguinal, cuya prevalencia exacta se desconoce. El trabajo expone, bajo una visión personal, sinóptica y objetiva, algunas connotaciones sobre la génesis de los tipos de dolor inguinal, especialmente el neuropático, generado por la agresión técnica (invasividad, disectividad y reparatividad), sobre áreas anatómicas específicas por las que discurren los correspondientes nervios inguinales periféricos, expuestos a riesgos neurolesivos por posibles maniobras inapropiadas

Ciencia, innovación y la generación de riqueza
Authors: Roth Seneff Andrew
Published: October 2018

Este ensayo es una reflexión sobre dos conceptos de innovación. Primero, la innovación es un acto creativo que se puede promover mediante una política científica que instituye incentivos monetarios para innovar y así generar riqueza. Esta concepción implica una política científica basada en los mecanismos del mercado. Segundo, la innovación es contemplada como una posibilidad de creatividad humana. Tiene condiciones históricas que nos llevan a contemplar la importancia de instituir políticas que favorecen mayor igualdad de acceso a producto acumulado del trabajo social.
Ofrendas del desierto. Un programa de trabajo
Authors: Kindl Olivia
Published: October 2018

Este texto presenta los principales lineamientos del proyecto de una investigación en su fase inicial. Su propósito es analizar —desde un punto de vista antropológico— los objetos rituales depositados en los desiertos del Norte mexicano por diferentes actores sociales que habitan o recorren estos espacios. El punto de partida geográfico se ubica en la zona llamada Wirikuta por los huicholes, en el altiplano semidesértico de San Luis Potosí, donde también se asienta una población local rural (rancheros, campesinos, ganaderos trashumantes, etc.) y circulan una serie de visitantes externos, entre ellos los participantes al movimiento new age. Se trata de observar los procesos de elaboración, las formas y contenidos, la ubicación y circulación de dichos artefactos, sin olvidar las concepciones que acerca de ellos tienen las personas que los realizan y las que los miran, manipulan o transportan de un lugar a otro. Se refiere no solamente a las ofrendas que se colocan en diferentes lugares de culto del paisaje mencionado, sino también al conjunto de las prácticas rituales, sistemas de representación, gestos y discursos que se tejen alrededor de dichos objetos.
Los hacedores de las lluvias. Peregrinaciones y ceremonias de los jicareros wixaritari
Authors: Del Ángel Arturo Gutiérrez
Published: October 2018

Este artículo está concebido a partir de dos paradigmas de la cultura huichola; por un lado, la visión de la peregrinación que realizan anualmente en busca de su sagrado cacto (hikuli o peyote) y, por otro lado, la cadena de rituales del que forma parte dicho ritual, es decir, la peregrinación en su contexto. El análisis de este conjunto se desprende de una base mitológica que se va definiendo a lo largo del artículo. Así, se trata de observar cómo la mitología determina, aunque no lo hace mecánicamente.
Mercado laboral y aspiraciones de vida Etnografía de la cuenca del Río Verde, San Luis Potosí
Authors: Guzmán Chávez Mauricio Genet , Macías Manzanares Carmen Himilce
Published: October 2018

En este artículo presentaremos una descripción etnográfica general de la Cuenca de Rioverde, San Luis Potosí, enfocada en aspectos de la vida cotidiana que, a nuestro juicio, demuestran nuevas formas y estilos de interacción social al interior de las familias. Nuevas formas y estilos de consumo, una transición o, al menos, una interesante imbricación de vida rural y urbana, que ocurren en el contexto intensificado de emigración y modernidad. La información fue recabada en 2006 y 2007, como parte de un proyecto financiado por la Secretaría de Desarrollo Agropecuario y Recursos Hidráulicos del estado. El trabajo etnográfico desarrollado por cinco investigadores se centró en diversos aspectos: la trayectoria laboral, el tipo de empleo, capacitación e ingresos; así se conformó una imagen amplia de las condiciones laborales y los estilos de vida que imperan en la región.

El héroe sin rostro. Los personajes de Yawar fiesta
Authors: Cajero Vázquez Antonio
Published: October 2018

En este artículo pretendo mostrar cómo los personajes de Yawar fiesta (1941), de José María Arguedas, se caracterizan por contrastes: indios, blancos y mestizos no se hallan colocados en una cadena social inamovible. Al contrario, los grupos mantienen sus propias estructuras de poder interno, así como una dinámica particular desde la que se oponen a los otros grupos. Asimismo, escapan a la visión dicotómica de blancos vs. indios, buenos vs. malos, pues entre los blancos puede haber seres buenos y entre los indios, cómplices de las autoridades opresoras. En fin, analizo pormenorizadamente los escenarios y las características que particularizan a los tres grupos mencionados a partir de tres ejes: lo que el narrador dice de los personajes; lo que los personajes dicen de ellos mismos y lo que unos personajes dicen de otros.
Indicios epistolares: 19 cartas entre Bernardo Ortiz de Montellano y la vanguardia cubana
Authors: Manuel Mateo José
Published: October 2018

Bernardo Ortiz de Montellano cruzó una serie de cartas con tres miembros de la vanguardia cubana y uno de sus simpatizantes. Esta correspondencia constituye un conjunto sugerente sobre las relaciones, intereses y posturas del grupo de soledades al que pertenecía el autor de los Sueños. En el presente trabajo se parte de la idea de que en las cartas de los escritores, a la vez que una extensión de la ficción literaria, también podemos encontrar un espacio testimonial capaz de confirmar o remover lo que teníamos por cierto, y esto último es precisamente lo que nos proponemos al revisar 19 comunicaciones donde encontramos indicios para revisar la identidad literaria que se ha construido en torno del variable grupo de los Contemporáneos. Identidad que ya ha sido examinada por la crítica, pero sobre la que conviene volver cada vez que sea posible señalar otros indicios para aproximarnos a lo que había quedado pospuesto.
Emilio Carrere, Gregorio Pueyo. Cinco poetas mexicanos y una antología de 1906
Authors: Pascual Gay Juan
Published: October 2018

Este artículo pretende situar la presencia de cinco poetas mexicanos en la primera antología del modernismo hispánico que se publicó en España, a cargo de Emilio Carrere, en 1906, con el sello editorial de Gregorio Pueyo, titulada La Corte de los Poetas. Más allá de otras consideraciones, es interesante advertir a aquellos poetas mexicanos que eran considerados plenamente modernistas en la España de principios del siglo XX.
