Towards Atropoenantiopure N–C Axially Chiral Compounds via Stereoselective C–N Bond Formation
Authors: Frey Johanna , Choppin Sabine , Colobert Françoise , Wencel-Delord Joanna
Published: November 2020

N–C axial chirality, although disregarded for decades, is an interesting type of chirality with appealing applications in medicinal chemistry and agrochemistry. However, atroposelective synthesis of optically pure compounds is extremely challenging and only a limited number of
synthetic routes have been designed. In particular, asymmetric N-arylation reactions allowing atroposelective N–C bond forming events remain scarce, although great advances have been achieved recently. In this minireview we summarize the synthetic approaches towards synthesis
of N–C axially chiral compounds via stereocontrolled N–C bond forming events. Both organo-catalyzed and metal-catalyzed transformations are described, thus illustrating the diversity and specificity of both strategies.
Signos hegemónicos en el filme Ex-Machina: robotización y control
Authors: Morales Campos Arturo
Published: November 2020

El texto cinematográfico Ex-Machina (Garland, 2015), analizado bajo lineamientos sociosemióticos, presenta una serie de signos hegemónicos que remiten al fenómeno actual de la robotización del ser humano. Detrás de esa estrategia ficcional del filme, subyacen ideologías políticas y de mercado que se materializan en las propuestas conocidas como transhumanismo y bio-mejoramiento moral. En síntesis, parte de las investigaciones actuales dedicadas a aumentar las capacidades humanas se dirige hacia una nueva y más honda división darwinista social: por un lado, la atractiva posibilidad de superar el “obsoleto” cuerpo humano, por el otro, la promoción de fármacos que produzcan seres cada vez más dóciles y “éticos”.

Authors: Saurabh Pandhare  , Mujahid B. Khan
Published: November 2020

COVID-19 is an infectious pandemic disease caused by the virus called as SARS-CoV-2. It is the pathogens that primarily target the respiratory system of human beings. The most common symptoms at the beginning of COVID-19 illness are, cough, fever, muscle pain, diarrhoea, headache, and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome occurs in severe cases. The idea of Srotas, in all different appropriate meaning, is still related in the current situation and might give different visions if revisited. Hridaya (Heart) and Mahasrotas(Gastro-intestinal tract)  and are the origins  of Pranavahasrotas (respiratory system). In the view of the current review, the introductory classical text of Ayurveda like Charak Samhita and compilation textbooks, research publication and internet sources are also reviewed to explore the relation of Pranavaha srotas and COVID-19 disease.  In the diseases of Pranavaha srotas, similar symptoms are found as it is in connection with an organ like heart, lungs, brain and Gastro-intestinal tract. The treatment protocols for diseases of Pranvahahasrotas includes general Snehan Karma(Oleation) and Swedan Karma (Sudation) therapies, Vamana(emesis), Dhumapana (medicated smoking) therapy, Rasayan  therapy(Rejuvenation Therapy), treatment of Jwar(fever) and classical formulations like Kantakari ghrita, Shrungyadi Churna, Talisadi churna, Vasa Avaleha, Kanakasava, Shwasakuthar Rasa, Mahalaxmivilas rasa etc. recommended. So current review will be useful for research on treatment protocol mentioned for the management of diseases of Pranavaha srotas given COVID-19 and also as a reference for additional safety and efficacy studies; pharmaceutical manufacturing as well as standardization of classical formulations stated for the treating diseases of Pranavaha srotas.
The Mediating Role of Parents and School in Peer Aggression Problems
Authors: Velki Tena
Published: November 2020

Starting from the ecological framework, the present study aimed to examine the mediating effects of parental supervision and school climate on the relationship between exosystem variables (time spent with media and perceived neighbourhood dangerousness) and peer aggression problems (peer aggression and victimisation). The participants were 880 primary school students. The data were analysed with multiple regression. The results show that both mediators (parental supervision and school climate) have statistically significant partial mediating effects on peer aggression and victimisation. If students experienced more parental supervision, there was a decrease in the relationship between a) time spent with media and peer aggression, and b) perceived neighbourhood dangerousness and peer aggression and victimisation. Identical findings were obtained for positive school climate. Thus, positive school climate and parental supervision served as protective factors against the negative influence of dangerous neighbourhoods and excessive use of media on peer aggression problems.
Computer Coding and Choreography: Contrasting Experiences of Learning About Collaboration in Engineering and Creative Arts
Authors: Rowe Nicholas , Martin Rose , Giacaman Nasser
Published: November 2020

This article argues that how collaboration is taught can have a significant impact on the ways in which collaboration is experienced, understood and valued. In doing so, the study draws attention to performing arts studio-pedagogies, and their potential relevance to enhancing creativity within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education. Through a mixed-methods study of teachers’ and students’ experiences of group work, this article compares two disciplines that maintain distinct discourses on teaching collaboration: Software design and choreography. The quantitative data reveals that despite significant demographic differences, students from the two disciplines maintain a common enthusiasm for group learning. There are significant distinctions however, on student perceptions of the teaching and learning of collaboration, their learning achievements about group work, and the relevance of group work in their discipline. Qualitative commentaries from students and teachers extend the arguments across both the distinctions and the similarities, emphasizing the impact of particular teaching practices and establishing standpoints for further research into the pedagogy of collaboration in higher education.

Published: November 2020

This study investigates the mediating effects of teacher organizational commitment on the relationship between principal's instructional leadership and students' academic performance. Principals' effective leadership performance is assumed to be responsible for students' academic performance. However, many findings from the literature indicate no significant direct effect between instructional leadership and students' academic performance. Therefore, the current study hypothesized that principals' instructional leadership indirectly enhances students' academic performances through teacher organizational commitment. Data obtained from 440 primary school teachers from the state of Azad Jammu & Kashmir of Pakistan and pre-existing school academic performance data obtained from each school participated. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling, employing AMOS. The study's findings indicate that there is an indirect positive effect of principals' instructional leadership and students' academic performance through teacher's organizational commitment. Hence, schools with higher instructional leadership levels had better teachers, commitment to school, teaching work, teaching occupation, workgroup, and higher student's academic performances. Therefore, increasing the instructional leadership practices in schools through teacher organizational commitment contributes to Pakistan's overall student academic performances. Therefore, it is recommended to use instructional leadership components in the curriculum that effectively train new principals.

Authors: Alshutwi Sulaiman M. , Ahmad Aznan Che , Lee Lay Wah
Published: November 2020

This research investigates the impact of inclusion setting on academic performance, social interaction, and deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) students’ self-esteem. As opposed to the traditional nature of conducting a literature review, meta-analysis has the advantage of offering a critical evaluation of several previous studies with a common theme and combining their results. This has the potential of increasing statistical power which improves the generalizability of findings to a wider population. Thus, this study provides important conclusions that are likely to influence future research and decisions made by policymakers regarding the impact of inclusion setting on academic performance, social interaction and self-esteem of D/HH students. Guidelines of PRISMA (2009) was adopted for searching relevant studies by using keywords. The websites of World Library World Cat, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Biomed Central, Psyc INFO, Global Health, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant research conducted from January 1st, 1990 to February 28th, 2020. Therefore, the present study is a systematic review of the studies followed by a meta-analysis of proportions carried out using Med Calc online software. The results of the present findings have demonstrated that inclusion setting improves academic performance, social interaction, and self-esteem of D/HH students. Based on our findings, we recommend that D/HH children should have access to a ‘good inclusion setting’. Therefore, policymakers and practitioners ought to advocate the need for developing special strategies for such children.

Published: November 2020

La ruptura de la membrana timpánica por causa de explosivos constituye la lesión primaria más común dentro de su tipo. Entre un 84-92% de las rupturas de las membranas timpánicas por causa de explosivos se cierran espontáneamente. No obstante, se presentan notables diferencias en los reportes. Es importante brindar el mejor tratamiento a estos pacientes dada la importancia del mejor resultado en la funcionalidad del oído. El objetivo de la presente investigación consiste en plasmar, las diferentes opciones de tratamiento disponibles para la perforación de la membrana timpánica por causa de explosivos, con énfasis en su tratamiento quirúrgico. El modelo de investigación es una revisión de tipo documental bibliográfico. Se encontró que la ruptura de la membrana timpánica por causa de explosivos, en principio, requiere de un tiempo prudencial para observar si hay cierre espontáneo. Existen diferentes alternativas de tratamiento, entre las que se destacan: la miringoplastia temprana, colocación de “parches” sobre la perforación u observación con cierre quirúrgico tardío. La cirugía constituye el último recurso para reparar la membrana rota y reconstruir por medio de prótesis, en caso de ser necesario, la cadena de huesecillos. En cuanto al éxito de esta técnica quirúrgica, a pesar de los pocos datos en la literatura disponible, se encontró registros de altos índices de efectividad. En conclusión, el tratamiento dependerá de una serie de factores entre las que se debe destacar el tipo y la gravedad de la lesión. Es importante destacar que, al tratamiento lo debe seguir una serie de valoraciones audiométricas y observacionales para evitar complicaciones y determinar el daño auditivo definitivo del paciente.

Published: November 2020

La gastritis es un tipo de enfermedad que en ocasiones está asociada con el estrés considerándose como una lesión grave con presencia de sepsis e insuficiencia orgánica. Este tipo de afección, también es llamada gastritis emotiva o gastritis nerviosa producto del estrés y la ansiedad que pueda existir en el paciente que la padece, los síntomas son muy similares a los de la gastritis bacteriana. Presenta mayor incidencia en la población adulta, sin embargo, su incidencia ha disminuido durante la última década Los factores que contribuyen a esta disminución incluyen el transporte más rápido de los pacientes traumatizados, la reanimación temprana, el tratamiento de complicaciones y el mantenimiento profiláctico del aumento del pH de la mucosa gástrica. La fisiopatología queda por aclararse por completo; no obstante, tanto factores agresivos (ácido, reflujo duodenal, etc.) como una deficiencia en los mecanismos defensivos (flujo sanguíneo de la mucosa gástrica, barrera de la mucosa gástrica, moco, bicarbonato, etc.) juegan un papel importante en su inicio. La complicación hemorrágica de la úlcera gástrica por estrés, que suele aparecer entre el quinto y el décimo día tras el ingreso, sigue siendo una secuela asociada a una importante tasa de mortalidad

İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin nezâir anlayışının sorunları
Authors: KARAGÖZ Mustafa
Published: November 2020

Günümüze ulaşan ilk eser olması hasebiyle Mukâtil b. Süleyman’ın el-Vücûh ve’n-Nezâir’i bir milat kabul edildiği takdirde, vücûh ve nezâirle ilgili eserlerin oldukça erken bir dönemden itibaren telif edildiği söylenebilir. Konuyla ilgili birçok eser telif edilmiş olmasına karşın, İbnü’l-Cevzî’den önceki müellifler vücûh ve nezâire dair herhangi bir tanım yapmamıştır. İbnü’l-Cevzî “vücûh ve nezâir”i, “bir kelimeden Kur’an’ın farklı yerlerinde farklı anlamlar kastedilmesi” diye tarif etmiş, devamında “nezâirin lafızlarda, vücûhun ise manalarda bulunduğu”nu söylemiştir. Bu tarif klasik dönemde İbn Teymiye, Zerkeşî, Süyûtî ve Taşköprîzâde tarafından eleştirilmiştir. Söz konusu eleştiriler nedeniyle olsa gerek, Kâtip Çelebî ve muhtemel başka istisnalar dışında, İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin tanımını benimseyen yok gibidir. Son dönemde de çeşitli eleştiriler yöneltilmekle birlikte, İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin tanımı bazı araştırmacılar tarafından benimsenmiş, bunun en uygun nezâir tanımı olduğu öne sürülmüştür. Fakat İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin tarifi konuyla ilgili eserlerin muhteva ve üslûbü açısından bazı sorunlar taşımaktadır. Makalede İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin nezâir anlayışının, vücûh-nezâir literatürünün üslûbu çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi ve sorunlu yönlerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda sekiz eser çerçevesinde ve “maraz” lafzı örneğinde vücûh ve nezâir literatürünün üslûbu tanıtılacak, bu sayede İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin tarifinin tahlili yapılacaktır. Böylece ilgili eserlerin muhteva ve üslûbuna en yakın anlayışın tespitine katkı sunulması hedeflenmektedir.

Authors: Hadi F.
Published: November 2020

PT Chevron Pacific Indonesia (PT CPI) operates the Rokan block with 13,000 km pipeline length in Riau province. Oil theft attempts through illegal tapping is one of the challenges in operating Rokan block. PT CPI experienced 16 spill cases with a volume of 1,085.98 barrels in 2018-2019 as reported to The Government of Indonesia. The investigation using why tree method is conducted to identify the system level root causes described through tree branches. Five investigations in 2018-2019 reveal the repetitive root cause pattern. Significant root causes related to spill due to illegal tapping are key stakeholders’ engagement, surveillance resources, surveillance method and emergency response. Recommendations developed to these root causes create a comprehensive strategy to overcome spill due to illegal tapping. Comprehensive strategy by conducting continuous engagements to state government and local government, increasing personnel for surveillance resources, improving surveillance method and implementing thorough response has created significant impacts. Decreasing number of spill case in 2020 affects the revenue performance on financial aspect. Hiring local community for additional surveillance resources creates positive social impact for operation of PT CPI. Improved surveillance program shows sustained oil flow supporting the operation. Environmental impacts could be reduced by deploying response team immediately, recovering and cleaning the site according to regulation related to hazardous waste. Comprehensive strategy from PT CPI can be adopted by other Production Sharing Company (PSC) operators to maintain sustainability to deliver optimum production to meet the national target.

“Lo importante es mantener el espacio”: estrategias de inserción y permanencia de terapeutas no convencionales en hospitales
Authors: Argentina Bordes Mariana
Published: November 2020

El artículo se propone como una contribución al estudio de la presencia de medicinas alternativas habitualmente asociadas al movimiento New Age en hospitales públicos, cuya situación se caracteriza por la marginación profesional/ epistemológica y la extrema informalidad ocupacional. Para ello, se realizó una investigación de enfoque interpretativo que se ocupa de las prácticas llevadas a cabo por terapeutas para estabilizar un cierto estatus dentro de la estructura social hospitalaria. En el análisis se tomaron como referencia tres prácticas principales: 1) la construcción de vínculos; 2) el comportamiento mimético, y 3) la apropiación del espacio.
La clínica rural en el contexto indígena: alcances y desafíos
Authors: Albornoz Daniel Flores
Published: November 2020

Este artículo analiza el desencuentro que suele existir entre las prácticas de las clínicas que operan bajo el concepto de interculturalidad en salud y la satisfacción de sus beneficiarios, en un contexto rural e indígena de México. Se analizan los alcances de la ciencia médica en la forma de vida local, tomando en cuenta que la gramática rigurosamente estructurada de la medicina suele impedir la comprensión de otros lenguajes. Se demuestra que la noción de interculturalidad en el sistema de salud pública, así como la relación salud/enfermedad, debe repensarse, con miras a favorecer una participación más abierta de la investigación interdisciplinar, ya que estos espacios públicos de atención a la salud se encuentran en contextos en los que se ponen en juego distintos lenguajes y formas de vida.
Estructura y tipologías de la práctica de lo paranormal: un análisis matemático-formal de sus productos cognitivos
Authors: Castro Antonio Velasco
Published: November 2020

Las prácticas de lo paranormal son un fenómeno universal para el control y el conocimiento de sí mismo, los semejantes y el entorno, en el que el mundo se asume como dependiente de la agencia contraintuitiva y no evidente a los sentidos. Aquí se parte de un análisis racional de las explicaciones que las personas dan a los fenómenos de su vida diaria y se presenta un modelo de los componentes, clases, tipos y formas de lo paranormal. Se analizan las principales tipologías en la materia y se postula un modelo según el cual el núcleo de la práctica paranormal está compuesto por organismo, eventos y conducta, así como sus relaciones funcionales, de lo cual surgen ciertas estructuras. Se encontraron cuatro clases fundamentales, 24 tipos y 12 formas de las prácticas de lo paranormal.

Published: November 2020

An experiment aims to improve the organic production of kohlrabi using algae extract and biofertilizer was conducted at the experimental farm of Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate, Agricultural Research Center, Giza, Egypt, during two successive seasons of 2018/2019 and 2019/2020. Treatments were compost only, compost with adding biofertilizer and algae extract individually or in combination, and were applied on two kohlrabi cultivars (Gulie White Vienna and Delikatess Purple Vienna). The results indicated that “Gulie White Vienna” cultivar was superior to “Delikatess Purple Vienna” in vegetative growth, nutrition content, knob yield and knob properties. All treatments of biofertilizer and algae extract individually or in combination in the presence of compost improved all studied traits compared to compost only. Applying compost with adding biofertilizer and algae extract in combination recorded the highest values of growth, nutrition content, yield and knob properties. This study demonstrated the possibility of using biofertilizer and algae extract in addition to compost for organic production of kohlrabi and for improving yield and knobs quality.

The introductions of advanced antibiotics have triggered complex versions of resistant genes in gram-negative bacteria. In a generation witness limited discovery of antibiotics makes this phenomenon a major public health threat. This study aims to establish the fecal carriage rate of multidrug-resistant Enterobacteriaceae strains among food handlers. Data was extracted from a prospective cross-sectional study – ‘Prevalence and risk factors of fecal carriage of Extended Spectrum β-Lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae amongst food handlers in Lower Basic Schools in West Coast region of The Gambia. The study enrolled 600 randomly selected food handlers (565 of which had complete data set) from 60 lower basic schools in 7 districts in the West Coast Region of The Gambia. Stool samples were collected from the participants and screened for resistance to cefotaxim. Isolated organisms were further tested for susceptibility to cephalosporins, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones and other families of antimicrobials as per Clinical Standard Laboratory Institute guidelines. The association of risk factors to fecal carriage of resistant Enterobacteriacea was performed using Pearson Chi squared and fishers exact (P<0.05). Results confirmed that the prevalence of Enterobacteriaceae by resistance to cefotaxime was 15.8%. 23 genus and 89 species of resistant strains were isolated. All isolates were 100% resistant to cephalosporins such as ceftriazone, cefotaxime and cefuroxime, except ceftazidime (92%). Resistance to ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolone) was measured at 50%. Only 1.2% was resistant to imipenem (carbapenem). Most isolates were resistant to ampicillin, nitrofurantoine, erythromycin, tetracycline and cotrimaxole. Majority of the identified Enterobacteriaceae were Enterobacter aerogene (14%), Klebsiella pneumoniea (12%) and Escherichia coli (7%). This study found a high prevalence of fecal carriage multi-drug resistant Enterobacteriaceae among food handlers, mostly women, in The Gambia. The irrational prescription and use of antibiotics is a major risk factor for the proliferation of antibiotic resistance. Well-conducted surveillance is essential to implement effective control measures for the spread of antibiotic resistance urgently receommended.

Although many methods have been developed in order to reduce the negative effects in laying hens reared at high cage density, researches on effects of dietary supplementation of oregano (Oreganum syriacum L., OEO) essential oil as a feed additive to the diets are extremely sparse. This study investigated the effects of OEO and caging density on performance parameters, egg quality criteria, some blood biochemical parameters, blood antioxidant capacity, and intestinal histopathology of laying hens. We used 276 white Lohmann laying hens aged 38–40 weeks in the experiment. The animals were divided to positive control (600 cm2 hen/cage, PC), negative control (360 cm2 hen/cage, NC), negative control+ 200 mg/kg OEO (NC+O2), negative control+ 400 mg/kg OEO (NC+O4), and negative control+ 600 mg/kg OEO (NC+O6). In this study, it was determined that egg weight and egg shell weight increased at higher caging density, but they did not change with dietary supplementation of OEO. In addition, the plasma calcium and phosphorus decreased with the higher caging density and dietary supplementation of OEO. Supplemented OEO to the diets of the laying hens reduced lipid peroxidation and improved antioxidant capacity and intestinal histopathology of laying hens. As a result, it was determined that OEO decreased the negative effects of high caging density. While this positive effect was found to be at a maximum dose at 400 mg/kg of OEO, it was determined that a dose of 600 mg/kg of OEO had a toxic effect, if even numerically.

Microorganisms are raising resistance against available antibiotics due to usage of antibiotics in a wrong way. There is lot of demand for finding /searching new natural antimicrobial agents as they are inexpensive, easily available, most of them are edible and mainly non-toxic even at the rate of milligram quantity. The aim was to study the efficiency of the anti-bacterial effect of Polyphenols enriched extract of Drum stick plant leaves (Moringa oleifera) against staphylococcus aureus. The materials involved in this study include Drum stick plant leaves, micro-organism staphylococcus aureus in the bacterial type culture collection, agar, and blood-agar plates. At 10% concentration, of Polyphenols enriched extract of Drum stick leaves had zero anti-bacterial activity, while between 20 to 25% concentrations revealed high activity against the bacteria. Thus, increased in the anti-bacterial activity was promising as the concentration augmented from 20 to 25%. The results acquired from this study points that polyphenol enriched extract of Drum stick leaves (Moringa oleifera) had antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus when obtained to a necessary concentration.

Osservatorio sulla componentistica automotive italiana 2020
Authors: Moretti Anna , Zirpoli Francesco
Published: November 2020

Nell’anno 2020 l’Italia ha dovuto fare i conti con la crisi sanitaria ed economica determinata dalla diffusione del virus COVID-19. La straordinarietà della situazione, con l’Europa alle prese con lockdown e fermi produttivi, ha portato l’Osservatorio a far seguire alla tradizionale rilevazione avviata a fine Febbraio 2020 una seconda indagine di approfondimento mirata a raccogliere le prime reazioni delle imprese della filiera alla crisi da coronavirus. Questa edizione del volume è, quindi, particolarmente ricca di spunti in quanto collega la fotografia del 2019 alla situazione generata dalla pandemia nel 2020. Il quadro complessivo è quello di una filiera i cui risultati in termini di fatturato, produzione ed export erano già in contrazione nel 2019 e, di conseguenza, particolarmente esposta alla crisi del 2020, soprattutto per alcune categorie di imprese meno resilienti. Il superamento di questa situazione critica potrà giocarsi sulla capacità di sviluppare aggregazioni e reti per l’innovazione, con obiettivi importanti di competitività dell’intera filiera sullo scenario internazionale.
