Dos corazones y una lengua champurria. Creación poética de Adriana Pinda como morfogénesis comunicativa del mapuche kimün
Authors: Figueroa Burdiles Noelia , Figueroa Verdugo Demsi
Published: August 2023

La poeta mapuche-williche se autodenomina “champurria” como forma de alejarse de la pureza lingüística y cultural en que se desenvuelven la lengua hegemónica y el mapudungun formal. Este posicionamiento, más el reconocimiento de que la poeta es portadora del mapuche kimün porque también es machi, sugieren la posibilidad de comprender sus textos como una morfogénesis comunicativa, atendiendo a las nociones de mestizaje que nos ofrecen Gloria Anzaldúa, María Lugones y Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui. La lectura de la poeta-machi nos interpela a profundizar en el conocimiento del mapuche kimün para comprender los mundos que crea en su trance morfogénico, mientras disloca el español y el mapuzugun, en una unidad textual múltiple, intercultural, impredecible, inconmensurable.

Educación intercultural bilingüe y Tic: reflexiones para su articulación
Authors: Carías-Pérez Fernando , Marín-Gutiérrez Isidro
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo propone ideas y reflexiones sobre cómo pueden vincularse las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación con el modelo de educación intercultural bilingüe, a partir de un compendio de alternativas que permitirían el uso adecuado de estas herramientas tecnológicas para el desarrollo de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje dentro del contexto de la EIB. Se ha trabajado desde una perspectiva metodológica de tipo cualitativa, utilizando como técnica de recolección y análisis de datos la investigación documental, tanto de material bibliográfico, como multimedia (videos, audios, páginas Web, redes sociales, etc.). Las fuentes seleccionadas se vinculan con literatura en la línea de las TIC, la educación con foco en la interculturalidad y la comunicación como fenómeno sociocultural. Los principales resultados han evidenciado que pueden proponerse y generarse experiencias significativas que permitan articular el paradigma de la EIB con el mundo de las tecnologías y la comunicación, fortaleciendo lineamientos pedagógicos-curriculares y culturales, haciendo especial énfasis en la salvaguarda de los idiomas propios, las tradiciones y cosmovisiones de los pueblos originarios. Así mismo, las TIC deben ser pensadas, en el contexto educativo de la interculturalidad, como mecanismos utilitarios al servicio de la promoción y emancipación de los pueblos aborígenes, sobre todo desde una concepción académica que proponga instancias formativas tales como asignatura de pre y postgrado, talleres, prácticas, otros.

An overview of emulgels for topical application
Authors: Mina J. Jabbar  , Wedad K. Ali
Published: August 2023

In recent years, gels have been preferentially used for cosmetics and topical pharmaceutical preparations due to their favorable characteristics, such as being greaseless, readily spreadable and easily removable. However, one obstacle that faced it was the inability to enclose hydrophobic compounds. Therefore, a novel approach was developed to circumvent this limitation by mixing the gel with an emulsion, which led to creation of a new topical drug delivery system known as emulgel. Emulgel preserves all favorable features of gel and provides also dual release for drug, thus can be utilized effectively in controlling release and absorption of medication after topical application. Emulgel preparation requires coherent steps, this includes preparation of emulsion and gel and determining their mixing ratio. Finally, the prepared emulgels should be evaluated to ensure their suitability and efficacy for the topical application.

Authors: Jian Lateif Hussein
Published: August 2023

Most common inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein, which is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation and infection in the body, is used to quantify circulating molecules that are released as a cause of an inflammatory response in clinical studies.  

The aim of this study is to estimate the levels of serum seromucoid and protein bound-hexose (PBH) as inflammatory markers in sera of COVID-19 patients in comparison with normal subjects. For this purpose, Thirty COVID-19 patients were selected as control (male and female) in addition to 30 healthy subjects as the control group. The findings indicated that seromucoid and PBH levels were highly significant increase in COVID-19 patients (P< 0.0001) comparing with normal subjects This study provides evidence that, despite some potential physiological differences, the levels of seromucoid and PBH showed no significant differences for both male and female patients. The results from both parameters showed that COVID-19 severity is associated with inflammatory markers.

Authors:   KOREA ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE LAW, Kim Duke-kwan , Lee Choon-won
Published: August 2023

The housing reconstruction project is an essential process for the city to further develop and modernize. The demolition of existing buildings and the construction of new buildings play a major role in improving the infrastructure and residential environment of the area. The housing reconstruction project is a government-regulated project aimed at reorganizing existing urban areas and improving them in functional, environmental and social aspects. These projects are mainly aimed at densely populated areas or areas that are structurally old and need improvement, and are promoted for the purpose of urban regeneration, efficiency of land use, and residential environment improvement. Therefore, in order to facilitate the reconstruction project, it is suggested that the reconstruction conditions required by the members be examined by referring to the preference factors of the members, and the results of the survey analysis are presented as follows. First, in the internal environment, four factors show significant preference factors: ⅰ) structure, ⅱ) storage space, ⅲ) noise, and ⅳ) finishing materials. Second, public facilities have four significant preferences: parking facilities, public facilities, safety facilities, and safety. Third, as for the external environment, four factors such as public transportation, convenience facilities, educational environment, and parks around them show significant preference factors. Fourth, facility management shows significant preference factors: ⅰ) cleaning status, ⅱ) facility maintenance, and ⅲ) safety management.

Subject/topic. The article examines the process of transformation of global value chains in the context of global changes inspired by the fourth technological revolution. Goals/tasks. The purpose of the study is to identify current trends in global value chains in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution under the influence of deglobalization factors on the example of a few countries, in particular the United States. Methodology. The study of the problem was carried out based on the use of such methods as comparative and statistical analysis, economic analysis, including econometric research, the method of comparison and grouping, as well as information modeling. Results. The article analyzed the problem of development and formation of global value chains at the present stage. On the basis of the analysis the main trends and prospects for the development of global value chains in the era of Industry 4.0 were identified. Based on the correlation analysis of indicators of GDP dynamics and the level of participation in GVC on the materials of the United States, a significant relationship in the «globalization» period 1995-2007 and a very weak relationship in the «postglobalization» period 2008-2018 were revealed. Analysis of the dynamics of forward and backward linkages in GVC using the example of the USA and a number of other countries and integration groupings showed a clear transition to reindustrialization and import substitution after the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Conclusions/significance. Global value chains in the global economy have been experiencing the effects of the new industrial revolution and re-industrialization in recent years, which, along with the ongoing political changes in line with de-globalization, are leading to changes in the qualitative and quantitative parameters of GVCs. They are being transformed in the direction of increasing regionalization and even autonomization of production, thus contributing to structural changes aimed at increasing the share of industry and reducing the share of services, which is a clear counter-trend to the economic dynamics established in the era of globalization.
Alternative approach to the study of the Russian regions’ tourist attractiveness
Authors:   Institute of Finance and Sustainable Development The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Lebedeva Svetlana А.
Published: August 2023

The Russian Federation finds itself in unprecedented sanctions situation, which contributes to changing the patterns of consumer behavior in different spheres, including the tourism industry. Russian tourists are forced to «switch» to domestic destinations, and federal, regional and local authorities are interested in increasing the attractiveness of Russian regions. Many scientists attempt to assess the attractiveness of world tourist destinations, including Russia, as well as Russian regions. Today, the National Tourist Rating of Russian regions is built on the basis of the methodology worked out by the magazine «Rest in Russia» in conjunction with the Center for Information Communications «Rating». However, this methodology also has disadvantages. Firstly, the methodology does not take into account the transport accessibility of the Russian regions, as well as natural and environmental component. Moreover, the methodology is not fully objective. National Tourist Rating is built with the use of expert assessment. Finally, for the past eight years, the methodology has been undergoing changes every year (indicators were added and excluded). This article proposes an alternative method for calculating the index of tourist attractiveness of Russian regions based on an integral assessment of five generalizing parameters of the tourism industry. As a result, the author proposed a rating of the tourist attractiveness of the regions, calculated according to the data of 2021.

The relevance of the study is confirmed by the fact that cooperative systems at the interregional level can increase the stability of participants through the formation of new economic ties. The process of manufacturing science-intensive products is presented as a chain of relationships between various enterprises, each of which contributes to increasing the sustainability of production. Involvement in the cooperation system of representatives of various types of activities allows you to maneuver the added value to reduce risks. The aim of the study is to form an approach to managing the risk of a cooperative system based on a typical algorithmic risk management model that takes into account the negative impacts on the economic security of economic entities participating in interregional industrial cooperation. In the article, the authors present an overview of the main components of the economic security of interregional industrial cooperation as a class of control objects. The objectives of the study are defined: firstly, to identify the main basic approaches to ensuring economic security on the scale of interregional industrial cooperation; secondly, to present a multi-level hierarchy of ensuring economic security, including the level of cooperative systems; thirdly, to build a typical algorithmic model of risk management in interregional industrial cooperation; fourthly, to form a procedure for the redistribution of risk between the participants of the cooperative system. As part of the study, the authors used the method of analysis and synthesis, the transition from particular to general, essential analysis, the method of logical imperatives. A risk analysis methodology is presented and justified, which is based on a fuzzy risk map, formed on the basis of the consolidation of vectors, which allows to combine all possible negative impacts that arise in the cooperative system, detailed depending on the stages of production of high-tech products available in the cooperative system. As a result of detailing, an integral risk cube is formed, covering all variants of negative events in relation to all objects of the cooperation system in the context of the main stages of the production of high-tech products. The principles of evaluating the effectiveness of risk management are substantiated, taking into account the behavioral characteristics of participants in a cooperative system in an innovative environment. A model of accumulation of effects and losses of stakeholders for assessing the effectiveness of risk management is formulated, which includes a set of criteria and rules for selecting indicators, as well as sources of initial data provided by participants in the cooperative system.

Authors: Ayad Mohammed Noor , Arebe Fadam Entsar
Published: August 2023

The Machine learning methods, which are one of the most important branches of promising artificial intelligence, have great importance in all sciences such as engineering, medical, and also recently involved widely in statistical sciences and its various branches, including analysis of survival, as it can be considered a new branch used to estimate the survival and was parallel with parametric, nonparametric and semi-parametric methods that are widely used to estimate survival in statistical research. In this paper, the estimate of survival based on medical images of patients with breast cancer who receive their treatment in Iraqi hospitals was discussed. Three algorithms for feature extraction were explained: The first principal component algorithm, The second kernel principal component algorithm, and The last is the faster ICA algorithm. Then the important features extracted in the three algorithms for features extraction will be entered into machine learning algorithms: The first K nearest neighbor algorithm, The second survival tree algorithm (or regression tree), and the last random survival forests algorithm.

Two criteria for comparing the best models to estimate survival have relied on the MSE and the C-Index. The best model for estimating and predicting survival is the use of the fastest ICA algorithm with the random survival forest algorithm that gave the lowest amount to MSE and the highest value to the C-Index. Accordingly, we recommend doctors and medical professionals in Iraq adopt this model to estimate survival for patients with breast cancer.
Fuzzy Structural Analysis Using Improved Jaya-based Optimization Approach
Authors: Pham Hoang-Anh , Nguyen Ba-Duan
Published: August 2023

A new approach to performing the α-level optimization in the fuzzy analysis of structural systems is developed in this study. The method uses a simple global optimizer, the Jaya algorithm, together with an innovative dimension reduction technique. The dimension reduction technique aims to transform the original large α-level optimization problem into a low-dimension one by making use of the monotonic behavior of the system output with respect to the input variables. Then, the Jaya algorithm is applied to solve the reduced max/min α-level optimization problems to determine the bounds of the fuzzy output. Two numerical examples, including a 2D truss and a 3D truss, with a relatively large number of fuzzy input variables are analyzed and the fuzzy displacements under static loads are predicted. It is demonstrated that the proposed approach can save a significant computational amount and also estimate the fuzzy displacement with high accuracy.
Digital Disruption in Healthcare and its Impact on Laboratory Services
Authors: Badrick Tony , Loh Tze Ping
Published: August 2023

Clinical laboratories provide critical information for the diagnosis and management of disease and receive and send data to multiple sites every day. Laboratories are knowledge managers. We shall discuss digitalisation and disruption. Digitalisation is the act of changing business processes through the use of digital technology. Disruption is a radical change to an existing industry; examples include Uber, Waze and Airbnb. In the case of digital disruption, the enablers include advancement in mobile consumer technology, sensor technology, increasing consumer familiarisation and acceptance of digital platform and mobile technology, electronic payment technology and internet availability and stability.  We reviewed these concepts in healthcare, where consumers can reach out to healthcare professionals as and when required, using the power of technology and the internet. This concept’s ‘triple aim’ is a medical system that delivers high quality, accessible, and low-cost healthcare. Barriers to healthcare digital disruption include privacy, personal data protection, cybersecurity, medico-legal liability, licensing, costs, regulations, limits of non-touch consultation (lack of physical examination), and the reluctance of clinical professionals to be involved. In laboratory medicine, there are many examples of digitalisation including some that meet the definition of disruption including mobile phlebotomists, mobile point-of-care laboratories and home testing. Digital disruption has been a disrupter in many areas. There are many areas in laboratory medicine where digital disruption will occur such as electronic medical records, mobile phones, and wearables. The impact may be significant.
Diagnostic Evaluation of Renal Tubular Acidosis: A Clinical Biochemistry Perspective
Authors: Bonnitcha Paul , Chesher Douglas
Published: August 2023

Tight regulation of plasma pH is critical for cellular homeostasis. Physiological pH is maintained through a complex synergy of buffering, pulmonary modulation of carbon dioxide concentration, and regulation of systemic bicarbonate by the renal system. Renal tubular acidosis (RTA) describes a group of disorders in which the tubular excretion of acid is reduced despite relatively normal glomerular filtration. Several subtypes of RTA are known, all of which classically present with normal anion gap metabolic acidosis in addition to a variety of associated biochemical abnormalities. RTA can pose a diagnostic challenge to the clinician as it can be triggered by a substantial number of different aetiologies and clinical presentations can be highly variable. This review addresses the normal renal handling of acid-base, the renal response to high acid load, and the RTA pathologies where these acid-base homeostatic mechanisms are impaired. A particular focus of this review is the challenges faced by the biochemical laboratory regarding the development, validation and interpretation of suitable plasma and urine tests for accurate RTA diagnosis.
Extent of the Use of Computer-Aided Translation Tools in French to Igbo Language Translation among French Language Students in Colleges of Education in South-Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Udeh Vanessa Georgina
Published: August 2023

Due to the global orientation of the international economy, the availability of data in several languages, and the creation of previously unheard-of communication channels, there has been a significant increase in the need for professional translation services in recent years. Manual translation techniques are no longer sufficient for translators to fulfill the expanding demands of clients and companies. As a result, several translation technologies have been created to aid both experts and students of translation in creating high-quality translations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine the extent of the use of computer-aided translation tools in French to Igbo language translation among French language students in Colleges of Education in South-Eastern Nigeria. The study adopted survey research design in which a validated 10 items questionnaire termed the ‘Scale for Measuring the Effectiveness of Computer-aided Translation Tools (SMECTT)’ was developed by the researcher in line with the research questions, and was used to elicit information from respondents in the zone. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the instrument's dependability. Data were collected from 130 participants. Analyzing the data produced from the study will involve using descriptive statistics. The findings reveal variations in tool exposure and usage among students, with preferences for specific tools such as Google Translate. However, limitations are observed in addressing grammar and syntax errors. The study highlights the importance of training and guidance in tool utilization, suggesting potential improvements in language education and translation practices for French language students in South-Eastern Nigeria.
History, the Disease of Temporary Amnesia and National Development
Authors: Ediagbonya Michael
Published: August 2023

This paper examines History, the Disease of Temporary Amnesia (Loss of Memory) and National Development. It analyses the concept “History, the disease of Temporary Amnesia and its impact on History as a course of study came to focus. It discusses the undue emphasis on science and technology to the detriment of History. The significance of History to National Development was demonstrated. The data for the research was obtained from primary sources like oral interview and secondary sources, such as newspapers, books (published and unpublished), thesis, dissertation, journals etc. The study found that the relevance of History to National development cannot be over-emphasized. It demonstrated that the disease of ‘Temporary Amnesia’ has negative impact on the study of History. Again the study found that the sarcastic comments that Africa have no history, that African history is nothing more than European activities in Africa is not correct. The earlier statements by European visitors that Africa did not produce advanced civilization have been disproved by the discovering of fine works of art at such places as Nok, Ife, Benin and Igbo Ukwu in Nigeria (Alagoa, 1978:12). In conclusion, it is noted that nation without the knowledge of the past cannot project successfully into the present and future.

Authors: TERZİ Ülkü , ATEŞ İlker
Published: August 2023

Objective: Sjögren’s syndrome is a complex and widespread autoimmune disease whose pathogenesis is not fully elucidated and environmental and genetic factors affect the development of the disease. In order to reveal the effect of genetic contribution, studies have been conducted on the genes previously shown to play a role in other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythromatosus. In addition, two GWAS studies were conducted to investigate the role of more genes in the disease by screening the entire genome and the relationship of previously unknown genes with SS was shown.
Result and Discussion: Studies are being conducted with spontaneous and genetically modified animal models in order to better reveal the relationship between SS and genes and to reinforce the data obtained from humans. In this study, the relationship between the genes previously studied in other autoimmune diseases and the genes associated with SS in GWAS studies and the possible pathways that may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease through related genes were investigated.
