Nuevo enfoque de la termodinámica basado en la entropía como medida del calor
Authors: Herrmann Friedrich , Arias Nelson
Published: July 2024

La estructura de la termodinámica que subyace en este libro se basa en una analogía entre distintas áreas de las ciencias naturales: la mecánica, la electricidad, la termología y la teoría de la transformación de la materia. Conforme a esta analogía, las magnitudes extensivas –momento, carga eléctrica, entropía y cantidad de sustancia- se corresponden, así como las magnitudes intensivas: velocidad, potencial eléctrico, temperatura y potencial químico. Al emplear esta analogía se nota que la física en su conjunto resulta más compacta y más fácil de entender: Al introducir la entropía y el potencial químico como variables fundamentales, la estructura conceptual de la termodinámica –un área que es conocida como particularmente difícil, no solo para los estudiantes- se simplifica considerablemente. Los principios y fundamentos de la propuesta que acá se desarrolla han sido publicados en diversas obras para diferentes públicos (físicos, fisicoquímicos, ingenieros, educación media, etc.), las cuales gozan de popularidad en otras latitudes; sin embargo, esta es la primera vez que se publica una obra similar impresa en español. Es una oportunidad para que los hispanohablantes conozcan, estudien, analicen y difundan la propuesta.

¿Preparados para el post-conflicto?
Authors: Carlos Juan
Published: July 2024

El Instituto para la Pedagogía, la Paz y el Conflicto Urbano de la Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas (Ipazud) organizó en mayo de 2014 el seminario nacional Preparando el futuro: entornos y límites del post-conflicto en Colombia. A través de la pregunta: ¿Cómo nos estamos preparando para el post-conflicto? se encontraron distintos actores sociales, involucrados en la idea de generar las condiciones sociales, políticas e institucionales necesarias para transitar hacia el postconflicto en Colombia.La pregunta descrita guió el desarrollo de dos grandes ejes de reflexión. El primer eje abarcó aspectos como el fin del conflicto armado, la justicia transicional y la reparación a las víctimas. Y el segundo abordó los elementos y variables que configuran el proceso de desarme, desmovilización y reintegración (DDR). En ambos se combinan tres lecturas: la de la sociedad civil (incluyendo a las víctimas), la de los investigadores y la del Estado.Desde nuestro punto de vista, el post-conflicto (con el guion), comprendido como las nuevas condiciones de vida social que se ponen en escena una vez se surten las etapas de resolución de un conflicto armado, sirve para propiciar tres niveles de reflexión colectiva en el país, que contribuyan a la reconciliacio?n y a la correspondiente reconstruccio?n societal: la memoria (¿Qué ocurrió? ¿Por qué ocurrió? ¿Cómo ocurrió? ¿Quiénes lo hicieron? ¿Quiénes fueron afectados?); nuestro presente (¿Qué estamos haciendo? ¿Cómo lo hacemos? ¿Cuáles son los compromisos?); y la utopía (¿Qué futuros posibles? ¿Qué planes? ¿A través de qué herramientas? ¿En qué condiciones?).

Atualmente no Brasil, a imunização atinge diversas parcelas da sociedade, e protege contra várias doenças existentes, um desses exemplo é a imunização contra o vírus do HPV que protege o organismo contra cepas do vírus, e como consequência também gera proteção para o câncer de colo de útero. Desse modo, o presente trabalho objetiva avaliar a relação da imunização contra o vírus do HPV com a incidência do câncer de colo de útero, e como a adesão à vacinação pode influenciar nos números de mortalidade das mulheres brasileiras. Para isso, foi definida a pergunta norteadora: Como a vacinação do HPV reflete na incidência do câncer de colo de útero ? A pesquisa foi realizada nas bases de dados, BVS, Lilacs, PUBMED, e SciELO, em que foi possível chegar ao total de 10 artigos, selecionados para a análise final. O câncer de colo de útero acomete todos os anos inúmeras mulheres, entretanto em nosso sistema único de saúde, somos providos de alguns imunológicos que podem evitar a disseminação desse câncer, a vacinação contra o HPV é recente e traz muitas dúvidas para o público-alvo, todavia é essencial que a mesma seja realizada a fim de evitar que a mortalidade entre mulheres triplique a cada novo ano. Com a pesquisa, foi identificado os resultados que as campanhas de vacinação promovem na atenção à saúde, principalmente das mulheres, que neste caso são as mais atingidas.

Published: July 2024

As ações afirmativas instituídas na Lei Federal nº 12.711/2012, servem para garantir que o acesso ao ensino superior seja um direito para todas as pessoas, independente da classe social, raça e/ou origem, sendo 50% reservadas as cotas, trata-se, assim, da importância das ações afirmativas para a identidade da mulher negra a partir de sua entrada na Universidade. O objetivo deste estudo écompreender a contribuição das ações afirmativas e seus significados presentes no ensino superior que possam retratar a história e cultura africana e sua ancestralidade, capaz de ressignificar a identidade da mulher negra na Universidade.A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa, considerando análise de discursos de alunas negras presentes em literaturas referentes sobre o assunto. Para isso, como problemática considera-se que a trajetória escolar das alunas negras desde sua entrada na sala de aula, no decorrer da educação básica sempre foram marcadas por violência, discriminação e preconceito racial. O resultado aponta que as ações afirmativas, ao permitirem a entrada das mulheres negras no nível superior, contribuem para a ressignificação de sua identidade, quando as levam a buscar outras intervenções sociais como forma de resistência. Concluiu-se que essas políticas educacionais contribuem para a inserção da mulher negra na universidade de forma a ressignificar sua identidade e ancestralidade.

Investigation of the Effect of Organic Acid Addition to White Layer Akbay Line Chickens Water on Villi and Some Egg Quality Parameters
Authors: AŞKIN KILINÇ Ayten , DOĞU Murat , TERZİ Funda , KILINÇ Bahadır
Published: July 2024

Organic acids are carboxylic acids with the R-COOH structure and are released
naturally through metabolic events. Organic acids are widely used as preservatives in
poultry feed, especially to keep mold and other microorganisms under control.
Organic acids are grouped according to the number of carbon atoms and carboxyl
groups in their structures. Purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of
increasing amounts of organic acid addition (Lactic acid, Formic acid, Propionic acid
and Acetic acid) to laying hen rations on some parameters of egg quality, productivity
and intestinal villi. In the study, 180 Akbay white laying hens at the age of 40 weeks
were distributed to 3 groups and 6 replicates. Ad libitum drinking water was added to
CN group chickens, 1 L/1000 L and 2 L/1000 L organic acid (85% Formic acid,
Propionic acid, 80% Lactic Acid, 80% Acetic Acid) was added to the water of OAM1 and OAM-2 group chickens and it was given 30 days. There was no statistically
significant difference in the length measurement of intestinal duodenum, jejunum and
ileum villi between the control and the groups to which organic acid was added
(P>0.05). There was no lesion in the histopathological examination of the intestines.
Egg productivity parameters such as egg weight, yolk color index, albumen height,
Haugh unit and strength were found to be statistically significant between the groups
(P<0.05). As a result, it is thought that it would be appropriate to add organic acid to
the drinking water of laying hens for shell quality and quality egg production.

Published: July 2024

The aim of study was to perform a comparative analysis of the morphological features of the placenta of Yemeni goat breeds. The study was carried out on twenty placentae of pregnant goats obtained from Dhamar slaughterhouses. The samples were collected from both uteri of different CVRL from 1 – 30 cm. Their fetal ages were estimated according to the CVRL. The results revealed that the type of placenta in goats is typical syndesmochorial. The chorionic villi were not branched. One type of epithelium was distinguished covering the villi, those cells were the syncytiotrophoblasts. Interdigitation was observed between the villi and the endometrial folds. The Hofbauer's cells were detected in the last stages of gestation. The number of placentomes was ranged from 40 – 60. It is concluded that that the Yemeni pregnant goats posses polycotyledonary placenta. The modification in the shape and size of placenta increases with gestational age in response to pregnancy progresses.

Probiotic Dairy Products
Authors: Homaid Khaled
Published: July 2024

Probiotics are usually defined as microbial food supplements with beneficial effects on the consumers. Most probiotics fall into the group of organisms’ known as lactic acid-producing bacteria and are normally consumed in the form of yogurt, fermented milks or other fermented foods. Some of the beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria consumption include: (i) improving intestinal tract health; (ii) enhancing the immune system, synthesizing and enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients; (iii) reducing symptoms of lactose intolerance, decreasing the prevalence of allergy in susceptible individuals; and (iv) reducing risk of certain cancers. The mechanisms by which probiotics exert their effects are largely unknown, but may involve modifying gut pH, antagonizing pathogens through production of antimicrobial compounds, competing for pathogen binding and receptor sites as well as for available nutrients and growth factors, stimulating immunomodulatory cells, and producing lactose. Selection criteria, efficacy, food and supplementary sources and safety issues around probiotics are reviewed. Recent scientific investigation has supported the important role of probiotics as a part of a healthy diet for human as well as for animals and may be an avenue to provide a safe, cost effective, and ‘natural’ approach that adds a barrier against microbial infection. This paper presents a review of probiotics in health maintenance and disease prevention.

Teachers’ Literacy and Confidence Level in Using Online Platforms
Authors: Labuguen Antonio , Cabrillas Allan Moore
Published: July 2024

Incorporating Internet platforms into educational settings has become a common feature of modern teaching, providing educators with new opportunities and problems. The differing degrees of digital literacy and confidence among instructors in properly utilizing online platforms is a critical problem within this paradigm. Many teachers need more digital literacy, which includes abilities like accessing educational software, comprehending online communication tools, and effectively managing digital resources. This lack of expertise impedes the smooth integration of technology into the teaching and learning process. The main point of the study is to investigate teachers' literacy levels and confidence in using online platforms within the newly established schools in the Division of San Jose City during the School Year 2022-2023. The study involved 55 teachers, primarily young and female, with a significant proportion being single and holding the position of Teacher I. Despite limited exposure to ICT-related training, most teachers exhibited advanced I.C.T. literacy and high confidence in using technology. The research revealed relationships between teachers' confidence levels and the integration of various online platforms, including Google Classroom, Zoom/Google Meet, Kahoot, Canva, Mentimeter, and Edmodo. Additionally, socio-demographic characteristics, such as teaching positions, monthly wages, and I.C.T. literacy, were correlated with confidence levels in online teaching platforms. This study on teachers' literacy and confidence levels in online platforms holds significant implications for the education sector. As technology increasingly becomes an integral part of the learning environment, understanding the proficiency and confidence of teachers in utilizing online platforms is paramount. The findings of this study can inform targeted interventions to enhance professional development programs for educators. Educational institutions can tailor training sessions and allocate resources more effectively by identifying areas of digital literacy deficiency and gauging confidence levels.

How to problematize a border, or: some ongoing notes on transient methodologies
Authors: Vieira de Oliveira Pedro
Published: July 2024

In this paper I rehearse a method for studying media that is engaged by what I am calling a transient methodology. This work with “transients“ emerges as much as an analytical tool as it does as a material engagement, in direct connection with my encounter with a GDR-era synthesizer prototype, the Subharchord I/II, and its use of a specific audio filter design which is found again only forty years later as a building block for most state-of-the-art speech recognition algorithms. I am particularly interested in one such algorithm, namely the so-called “Dialect Recognition Software”, a proprietary machine learning solution in use since 2017 by the German Office for Migration and Refugees in cases of undocumented asylum seekers in the country. By bringing these two stories closer and mobilizing them through the work of transients – a concept that works in sound as much as it does in movement – I seek to activate an experimental, speculative media archaeology that focuses on the haptics of listening. Transient methodologies, I argue, offer the potential to critically listen to these two technologies together while at the same time slowing them down for critical inquiry and analysis.

Authors: Kalita Shibani , Saharia Sanghamitra , Kalita Dimpimoni , Swargiary Dhirunabh , Bardoloi Sunayan
Published: July 2024

The major aspect of immune system in insects can be attributed to its humoral immune response that is largely operated by means of some defense proteins or antimicrobial peptides. Muga silkworms have remained mostly unexplored in this matter, and as such in this study, Bacillus thuringiensis inoculated fifth-instar muga silkworm larva was analyzed for changes in protein profile, antimicrobial activity, as well toxicity assessment of the bacteria in the body of the silkworm larvae. Toxicity assessment was done by the serial dilution method, which was used to prepare various bacterial doses, and the LC50 value was found to be at 5.7 × 106 CFU/mL. A sublethal concentration was used for immunization of the larvae, following which hemolymph from the silkworms were collected at different time intervals, that is, 6 h, 12 h, 18 h, and 24 h. Antimicrobial assessment by well diffusion method showed the hemolymph collected after 24 h to be potent against both B. thuringiensis (MTCC 1953) and Escherichia coli (MTCC 40). Furthermore, analysis of this hemolymph revealed higher concentration of protein content as well as higher free amino acid concentration compared with a normal group. The appearance of several new bands in SDS-PAGE analysis of the same hemolymph was observed, which was not seen in the protein profile of normal silkworm previously. Proper proteomic analysis and characterization of such proteins produced on immunization might prove to be revolutionary in better understanding the silkworm as well as its defense mechanism providing valuable insights. This might be crucial for the development of natural and potent antibiotics with fewer side effects.

Citrus, an important fruit crop in the Mediterranean region is significantly affected by climate change, which affects plant morphology and physiology. Grafting has improved the citrus industry. In this study, we studied the impact of water stress, 100%, 75%, and 50% substrate field capacity on seedlings of new hybrid citrus rootstocks. Growth rates, stomatal conductance, and fresh and dry weights were assessed, and proline, soluble sugar, and chlorophyll contents were estimated. Water stress affected all citrus rootstock seedlings. The growth parameters decreased with increasing stress levels. According to growth parameters, Poncirus trifoliata×Citrus Volkameriana seedlings were the least affected, followed by Poncirus Trifoliata×Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan. (H1) seedlings, whereas those of Poncirus trifoliata×Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan. (H2) were the most affected. Seedlings of Poncirus trifoliata×Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan. (H5) accumulated less proline, whereas Poncirus Trifoliata×Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan. (H3) had the highest content. The chlorophyll content and stomatal conductance decreased with increasing drought stress. Overall, the Poncirus trifoliata×Citrus volkameriana rootstock was more tolerant to drought stress, and the Poncirus trifoliata×Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan. (H2) appeared to be sensitive. Future citrus breeding programs should prioritize the development of rootstocks that can tolerate dry conditions.

Published: July 2024

The article concerns the use of the results of numerical simulations, primarily for the detection of defects in forged products identified at various stages, along with the analysis of the geometry of forgings and the way in which the material flows in tools. The work presents the results of measurements and analyses using numerical modelling based on computational packages dedicated to forging processes such as: QForm, Forge, etc., which are equipped with special functions that significantly facilitate analyses by both technicians and designers. These functions include: contact of the deformed material with the tool, flow line distribution, “trap” or “fold” functions for detecting forging defects, as well as other technological parameters and physical sizes, which are crucial in the case of a comprehensive analysis of the industrial die forging process. The novelty of the work is the presentation of the possibility of simultaneously combining many different non-destructive techniques and methods, e.g. results of FE simulations with 3D reverse scanning, minimizing interference in the industrial process. The research carried out allows for the thorough and rapid analysis of the correctness of the deformation of the forging material for selected forging processes, along with the presentation of methods for their prevention and solving various technological and engineering problems, which is particularly important in terms of reliability and production efficiency.

Published: July 2024

Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight and have correspondingly specialized body plans, particularly in their limb morphology. The origin of bat flight is still not fully understood due to an uninformative fossil record but, from the perspective of a functional transition, it is widely hypothesized that bats evolved from gliding ancestors. Here, we test predictions of the gliding-to-flying hypothesis of the origin of bat flight by using phylogenetic comparative methods to model the evolution of forelimb and hindlimb traits on a dataset spanning four extinct bats and 231 extant mammals with diverse locomotor modes. Our results reveal that gliders exhibit adaptive trait optima (1) toward relatively elongate forelimbs that are intermediate between those of bats and non-gliding arborealists, and (2) toward relatively narrower but not longer hindlimbs that are intermediate between those of non-gliders and bats. We propose an adaptive landscape based on limb length and width optimal trends derived from our modeling analyses. Our results support a hypothetical evolutionary pathway wherein glider-like postcranial morphology precedes a bat-like morphology adapted to powered-flight, setting a foundation for future developmental, biomechanical, and evolutionary research to test this idea.
La Presencia de la Ausencia. Visibilidad y Permanencia de un Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial: el caso de la Fiesta de La Tirana
Authors:   , Correa Ross María Inés
Published: July 2024

Un proceso de expansión a afectado la realidad del patrimonio y uno de sus desafíos es la conciencia de la existencia de una dimensión inmaterial. El Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial son aquellas expresiones vivas de las tradiciones de una comunidad, cuyo valor está en las prácticas. Este patrimonio se encuentra asociado a un determinado territorio y se manifiesta a través de sus objetos, espacios y actores, existiendo una relación recíproca entre lo material e inmaterial. De esta forma, lo inmaterial complejiza y transforma las formas de salvaguardia y exhibición del patrimonio. La presente investigación aborda concretamente las problemáticas del patrimonio inmaterial y las posibilidades de visualización en el contexto museal contemporáneo, que también ha experimentado y adquirido formas diversas. La problemática de la salvaguardia del patrimonio y de los requerimientos necesario para que lo inmaterial adquiera presencia en su proceso de producción y representación en su territorio se examinará a través de los eventos festivos y su manifestación en América Latina. Específicamente, con el caso de la Fiesta de la Virgen del Carmen en La Tirana y la expresión de fe popular de las comunidades norteñas. Este fenómeno cultural, de gran relevancia, ha sido reconocido como tal, aunque no necesariamente ha encontrado un ámbito que lo acoja y lo represente. La propuesta busca fortalecer la vivencia del patrimonio de La Tirana a través de su activación cotidiana y tomando en consideración el potencial museo de sitio que hoy se observa en la localidad y en las prácticas culturales que lo dotan de sentido.
La paradoja de una prestación cubierta, pero invisible en Chile: “Control Preconcepcional”
Authors:   , Muñoz Soto Victoria
Published: July 2024

Introducción: El control preconcepcional (CP) abarca medidas para evaluar y modificar riesgos médicos, conductuales y sociales antes de la concepción, crucial ante la tendencia contemporánea de postergar la maternidad. Esto reduce riesgos significativos para la salud materna, fetal y neonatal. Objetivos: Analizar el uso del CP en el sistema público chileno (2019-2022) y explorar las percepciones de referentes del programa de salud de la mujer acerca de las necesidades y desafíos en la utilización del CP en Chile. Método: Investigación mixta Cuantitativo-Cualitativa analizando la base de datos de mujeres que acudieron al CP en el sistema público chileno y entrevistas a referentes clínicos del programa de salud de la mujer. Resultados: Los datos mostraron la subutilización del CP en el sistema público chileno, respaldado por percepciones y necesidades de los entrevistados. Se identificaron disparidades regionales en la utilización del CP, con mayor prestación en las regiones centro sur. La disminución de prestaciones en 2019-2020 se atribuyó a la pandemia del Covid-19. Discusión y conclusiones: Es crucial abordar la falta de directrices ministeriales y recursos para mejorar la promoción y prestación del CP, asegurando una atención integral en la salud reproductiva de la población chilena.Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en salud Pública.
Cytodiagnosis of Spindle Cell Squamous Cell Carcinoma presenting as a Metastatic Lesion to Chest Wall: A Case Report
Authors: Chandrakar Garima Akhilesh , Bhake Arvind , Khan Simran
Published: July 2024

Spindle cell carcinoma is a rare biphasic tumour composed of squamous cell epithelial and spindle cell mesenchymal components. This variant of squamous cell carcinoma masquerades as sarcoma with a high-risk of recurrence and metastasis. Metastatic lesions to the chest wall of squamous cell carcinoma from a distant primary are rare. The most common sites for metastasis from head and neck cancers are usually seen in the lungs, liver, bone, and brain. In this present case, the patient presented with complaints of an ulcerated mass on the left buccal mucosa with limited mouth opening. Despite wide excision of the mass and postoperative radiation, it resulted in distant metastases to the chest wall after a disease-free survival of four months. The metastasis of the chest wall appearing as red, inflamed, small, multiple, subcutaneous nodules is even rarer. The diagnosis of subcutaneous metastatic nodules of squamous cell carcinoma on Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) appearing in the literature is infrequent. The primary in this case was oral squamous cell carcinoma, which in follow-up after wide local excision of the mass with marginal mandibulectomy, presented as multiple inflamed appearing nodules on the chest wall. The primary site of the tumour showing classical squamous cell carcinoma and its metastatic lesion appearing on morphology as the spindle cell variant of squamous cell carcinoma are also infrequently reported in the literature. Herein, one such unusual case of subcutaneous metastasis on the chest wall cytodiagnosed on FNAC is reported.
From Hegemony to Harmony: Evolution of Economic Theories in Response to Global Shifts
Authors: Wang Yiwei
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the evolution of economic theory in response to historical events and societal needs, focusing on the shift in attitudes toward planned economies. It argues that the changes in economic thought are micro-level reflections of macro-level trends. In the 20th century, major global events such as the rise and fall of Soviet socialism, the decline of British hegemony, and the ascendancy of American dominance shaped the trajectory of economic theories. The study examines how capitalism adapted to socialism through government intervention and eventually reverted to liberalism after the socialist experiment's failure. This paper also draws parallels between past and present geopolitical and economic dynamics, highlighting the similarities between early 20th-century British-German relations and current U.S.-China tensions. It discusses how China's response to U.S. protectionism and the need to craft a unique economic narrative are crucial in this context. Furthermore, the study critiques the extremes of planned and laissez-faire market economies, advocating for a balanced approach that integrates free market principles with government intervention. It underscores the importance of developing new economic theories that reflect China's unique experiences and can guide future development both domestically and globally. Finally, this paper calls for innovative theoretical frameworks to better describe the government's role in economic operations, emphasizing the need for China to assert intellectual leadership in the field of economics to avoid Western dominance and ensure the discipline's relevance to contemporary challenges.
