Published: July 2024

Industry 4.0 focuses on automation with the help of technological and scientific developments in its application. Additive manufacturing is one of the pillars in Industry 4.0. 3D printing technology is part of additive manufacturing. One of the Indonesian companies that utilize 3D printing technology is PT Matahari Megah, the 3D-printing filament used to make a product in the company is Onyx-Carbon Fiber Reinforced. This material is used to make jaw grippers, soft jaws, threads, brackets, and jigs. However, the use of Onyx-Carbon Fiber Reinforced material is still not optimal, because there are no physical strength characteristics of the composite material. The method used in this research is to find a comparative study that starts by looking for literature studies that vary the parameters of the infill pattern and the percentage of density. In this study, the research data will be compared with the data from the literature study which will then be analyzed to find the most optimal parameters, based on the literature, the data obtained will be analyzed using the Taguchi method. From the data analysis, it is found that among the triangular, rectangular, and hexagonal infill patterns, the rectangular pattern is the most optimal. The optimal parameter configuration for the first data is by using rectangular infill pattern with 75% density percentage and for the second data by using rectangular infill pattern with 80% density percentage.

Caleidoscopio de la(s) geografía(s) critica(s): aproximaciones a las tensiones y debates en la geografía humana contemporánea
Authors: Álvarez Naranjo Juan Camilo
Published: July 2024

La geografía humana se vio atravesada por debates y tensiones que han permitido una diversificación teórica, metodológica y temática de su campo de acción como disciplina. El propósito del texto es ofrecer una descripción que permita definir, caracterizar y contextualizar los principales rasgos teóricos y metodológicos de la geografía humana contemporánea. Para ello, se realiza un análisis documental bajo la metodología de revisión de literatura, donde se siguen los parámetros de detección, consulta y recopilación selectiva de textos en geografía humana que dan cuenta de los debates abordados en la literatura anglosajona, francófona y latinoamericana. Se concluye, que uno de los principales debates que se gestionan en la geografía humana están situados en la noción de espacio geográfico, en el cual, se divide el espacio como construcción, caracterizada por ser principalmente ideográfica e idealista, lo que las sitúa las geografías criticas; y el espacio como producción, donde se asume el materialismo y la pluralidad metodológica estableciendo la geografía critica.
La incorporación tardía de las provincias del Chocó a la Monarquía Hispánica: indios, poblamiento y evangelización, 1668-1680
Authors: Montoya Guzmán Juan David
Published: July 2024

Entre los siglos XVI y XVII los conquistadores españoles intentaron incorporar las provincias del Chocó a la Monarquía Hispánica. Se trataba de una franja de tierra que se extendía entre la cordillera de los Andes y el océano Pacífico y caracterizada por ser una selva tropical extremadamente húmeda, pero rica en yacimientos auríferos. En esa región, los ibéricos buscaron aplicar su modelo clásico de expansión territorial que consistía en dominar a las sociedades nativas a través de mecanismos como la guerra, el poblamiento de núcleos urbanos, la instauración de un sistema de encomiendas y la explotación minera. Sin embargo, después de la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, era evidente que en el Chocó este modelo había fracasado y fue necesario aplicar una nueva política de sometimiento de los indios, basada esta vez, en la combinación de la evangelización, la fundación de pueblos y la explotación de los minerales de oro.
Entre bayonetas y plumas: la legislación de imprenta, la prensa y el sistema de apercibimientos durante la Regencia del Imperio y el Segundo Imperio mexicano (1863-1867)
Authors: Méndez Camacho Erik Ricardo
Published: July 2024

En este trabajo se recopila y analiza la legislación en materia de imprenta emitida durante la segunda intervención francesa en México, 1863-1867. Asimismo, se estudia al sistema de apercibimientos (advertencias) que las autoridades francesas, y posteriormente imperiales, utilizaron para vigilar y castigar a la prensa que circuló en la capital del país y en el territorio controlado por tales tropas extranjeras. Para ello, se elaboró una base de datos hemerográfica con los apercibimientos expedidos con el objetivo de ubicar la temporalidad de mayor actividad. El trabajo concluye que la legislación expedida otorgó a las autoridades la legitimidad necesaria para controlar la opinión pública y la circulación de información y que el sistema de apercibimientos se convirtió en una herramienta para combatir a la prensa opositora.

Published: July 2024

Al sumergirnos en los postulados de la historia social de la cultura escrita, nos encontramos ―casi que invariablemente― con la fórmula interpretativa basada en el análisis de la producción, circulación y recepción de un determinado libro. Este enfoque revela que el entendimiento de los documentos escritos, ya sea en su forma manuscrita o impresa, tanto en contextos institucionales como privados, trasciende a la mera exploración individual de su materialidad, comercialización o contenido. Su comprensión integral supone, entonces, prestar una especial atención a sus funciones, prácticas y representaciones, elementos que dan cuenta de las relaciones que se tejen entre dispositivos, sujetos e instituciones. La presencia de estas complejidades investigativas solo termina por subrayar la imperante necesidad de trazar las bases de una nueva historia sociocultural que considere los desafíos interpretativos que le son intrínsecos a la escritura y lectura, tarea que, claramente, supera los objetivos inmediatos de cualquier obra publicada. Aun así, el libro de Alfonso Rubio Hernández se erige como un valioso punto de partida para avanzar en dicha iniciativa.

Authors: Yandar Kandel L. , Revelo Sánchez Oscar , Bolaños-González Manuel E
Published: July 2024

Este estudio presenta una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura (RSL) sobre las técnicas de inteligencia artificial (IA) aplicadas para la predicción de energía eléctrica. Las bases de datos especializadas que se emplearon en esta revisión son Scopus, IEEE, ACM y Google Scholar. Este análisis ofreció una perspectiva sobre las técnicas de inteligencia artificial utilizadas en este campo, lo que facilitó la identificación de las tendencias presentes y en desarrollo. Esto proporciona una comprensión clara de las oportunidades venideras para mejorar la precisión en la predicción de la energía eléctrica y, en consecuencia, en la toma de decisiones.Un hallazgo destacado de esta revisión fue el predominio del uso de redes neuronales artificiales (RNA) como la técnica más prevalente dentro del campo de Machine Learning aplicado a la predicción de energía eléctrica. Esta preferencia se justifica por la capacidad inherente de las RNA para identificar patrones complejos y relaciones en los datos, lo que las convierte en una herramienta valiosa para la predicción de energía eléctrica. Además, se destaca la importancia de varios factores fundamentales en la predicción de energía eléctrica, como la importancia de recolectar datos relevantes y representativos, que abarquen tanto información histórica como contextual. El preprocesamiento de datos, el cual implica la limpieza y transformación de los datos recopilados para prepararlos adecuadamente para su análisis y modelado y la división de datos, crucial para evitar sesgos y evaluar de manera precisa la capacidad predictiva del modelo.
Entre trabajo prescrito y trabajo real: la hiperactuación compensatoria como rol expansivo de profesionales interventores del programa Familias en Chile
Authors: Arévalo-Vargas Patricia
Published: July 2024

En este trabajo expongo parte de los hallazgos de una investigación sobre el papel que juega la agencia en la intervención social del programa Familias, una iniciativa estatal destinada a la superación de la pobreza en Chile. Guiada por los principios del método teoría fundamentada, presento resultados provenientes de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a profesionales[i] de las ciencias sociales respecto de la intervención social que desarrollan.
Entre tensiones metodológicas, la burocracia característica de la medida estatal y la distancia entre el trabajo prescrito y el trabajo real, el rol de profesionales pareciese ser fundamental para la expansión de las capacidades individuales, estrategia neoliberal característica para la superación de la pobreza. En este sentido, sostengo que profesionales del programa Familias encarnan hiperactores compensatorios; concepto inspirado en los estudios sobre individuo y agencia desarrollados en Chile en los últimos años.
 
[i]     En este documento, el término "profesionales" se utiliza en un sentido inclusivo para referirse a todas las personas, independientemente de su género. Esta elección lingüística busca evitar la repetición y la estructura binaria de género, enfocándose en la función y no en la identidad de género de los individuos.

Authors: Bastidas Artunduaga Nicolas Faubricio , Amaya Castaño Gloria Clemencia , Sánchez Castillo Verenice
Published: July 2024

La ganadería extensiva en el Caquetá es la actividad económica que aporta en mayor medida al PIB del Departamento. No obstante, también es el sistema productivo al cual se le atribuyen la mayoría de los problemas ambientales. Los ganaderos participantes del estudio, si bien se han interesado en transitar hacia la implementación de los Sistemas Silvopastoriles (SSP), han encontrado en su camino diversas barreras y limitantes para su adopción. El objetivo del manuscrito fue analizar los imaginarios socioculturales acerca de la adopción de los SSP. El estudio fue de tipo cualitativo, se aplicaron entrevistas a profundidad y el procesamiento se hizo mediante la semiótica greimasiana y el software de procesamiento de datos cualitativos ATLAS.ti 23. Los principales hallazgos muestran que la intermitencia de los procesos de intervención, el insuficiente capital disponible y el flagelo del conflicto, han sido determinantes en los procesos de no adopción de los SSP.

En el presente trabajo se examina una discusión abierta en el campo de los estudios del desarrollo: la importancia de estimular desde el Estado el desenvolvimiento del sector industrial para viabilizar procesos de transformación estructural en la economía capitalista contemporánea. Sobre la base de relevamiento bibliográfico y de técnicas de análisis de contenido, en primer lugar, se presenta una evolución histórica de esta discusión para, luego, hacer foco en el debate contemporáneo. Se identifican aquí dos posturas que, sin ser excluyentes, otorgan diferente centralidad al sector manufacturero y a las políticas estatales orientadas a su estímulo para impulsar el desarrollo. Procurando profundizar en el examen, se analizan experiencias de desarrollo reciente a fin de identificar los procesos y políticas implementadas. Se concluye remarcando la necesidad de diseñar e implementar políticas que estimulen la actividad manufacturera para viabilizar procesos de transformación estructural en el escenario capitalista actual.
Cerrado por vacaciones. Retratos de un vacío turístico

Published: July 2024

The notion of emptiness/vacuum has been one of the most frequently used to refer to the situation of the streets and tourist attractions during the first year of the COVID-19 containment measures. The absence of tourists and the closure of businesses targeting this type of clientele, led to completely unique images of Barcelona city which for decades has been accustomed to withstanding the disproportionate pressure of tourism on its streets. This text presents the results of Closed for holidays. Portraits of a tourist vacuum, an experimental project that set out to gather images of Barcelona without tourists to analyze to what extent this vacuum was real or, on the contrary, a social universe had emerged from it, usually buried under the city's tourist organization planning. The results confirmed the space to be a social construct and its tourist exploitation as a dynamic force that, when it ceases, allows for a glimpse of how that same space could be built in a different way, less commercialized and closer to resident user values.

The objective of this work is to analyse the impact of different types of pressure exerted by the interested parties in the implementation of eco-innovations. Using quantitative methodology, a structured questionnaire was applied to managers, owners or administrators of 70 hotels in Bahías de Huatulco and Cancun, Mexico. From a partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM), the results show that the pressure of the market, competitors and clients influence eco-innovation. The contribution lies in relation to the role of stakeholder pressure in eco-innovation, particularly from the point of view of customers and competitors. In conclusion, eco-innovation arises as a hotel response to the requirements of the interested parties and facilitates obtaining competitive advantages and better performance. The recommendation is to strengthen a combination of command-and-control instruments with those of fiscal policy and subsidies according to the needs of the hotels

Published: July 2024

This work focuses on Rural Community Tourism (CRT) in the Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, Mexico. From secondary sources, a conceptual approach is made, to go on to analyze the characteristics of this form of tourism, its strengths and weaknesses, as well as the reflective opportunity offered by the pandemic caused by COVID-19. Finally, an evaluation of its achievements is carried out based on three groups of aspects: the influence of the CRT in the economies of the inhabitants, the relations between tourists and the native material and immaterial heritage and culture, and the dynamics of business management, patrimonial and identity of the settlers with respect to the CRT. The conclusions show a positive evaluation about the three aforementioned areas, although with various limitations and tensions. At the same time, they highlight the opportunities that this type of tourism raises for the new normal that is presumed in the future.
Enhancing energy consumption prediction in smart homes: a convergence-aware federated transfer learning approach

Published: July 2024

Achieving accurate energy consumption prediction can be challenging, particularly in residential buildings, which experience highly variable consumption behavior due to changes in occupants and the construction of new buildings. This variability, combined with the potential for privacy breaches through conventional data collection methods, underscores the need for novel approaches to energy consumption forecasting. The proposed study suggests a new approach to predict energy consumption, utilizing Federated Learning (FL) to train a global model while ensuring local data privacy and transferring knowledge from information-rich to information-poor buildings. The proposed method learns the transferable knowledge from the source building without any privacy leakage and utilizes it for target buildings. Since the performance of the global model could be negatively affected by some participating nodes with poor performance due to noisy or limited data, we propose a client selection strategy on the server based on the normal distribution for choosing the best possible participants for the global model. Our method enables clients to participate selectively in the aggregation procedure to avoid model divergence due to poor performance. The proposed model is evaluated and conducts in-depth analyses of energy consumption patterns. We validate the performance by comparing its Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Square Error (MSE), and R2 values to those of existing traditional and ensemble models. Our findings indicate that the proposed FL-based model with selective client participation outperforms its counterpart methods regarding predictive accuracy and robustness.

Published: July 2024

Powołaniem każdego człowieka jest w możliwie największym stopniu wykorzystanie swojego życia, aby było szczęśliwe. Jednakże pojęcie „szczęścia” jest różnie interpretowane. Dla człowieka wierzącego bycie szczęśliwym jednoznaczne jest z egzystowaniemblisko Chrystusa i Jego nauki, a w przyszłości z osiągnięciem świętości. Dążenie do świętości realizuje się na wielu płaszczyznach. Jedną z nich jest droga powołania kapłańskiego, która może być urzeczywistniana nie tylko poprzez służbę drugiemu człowiekowi, przekazując kerygmat wiary oraz sprawując sakramenty, ale także poprzez wyjście do konkretnego człowieka, dostrzegając jego potrzeby prywatne i społeczne. Bezsprzecznietaką drogę kapłaństwa realizował na co dzień ks. Tadeusz Pieczko. Artykuł przedstawia biografię, działalność i sylwetkę duchową tego kapłana.

Objectives

In India, an estimated 18% of patients suffering from tuberculosis (TB), have Genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB). Understanding the effect of GUTB on overall health and QoL is essential for providing better patient care and modifying health programs. The present study was designed to provide insight into the change in QoL in GUTB patients following surgical management using the World Health Organisation Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire.

Material and Methods

A total of 35 patients, who underwent extirpative or reconstructive surgery at our center from January 2016 to December 2021 were included. Demographic profiles, clinical details, laboratory data, radiological imaging findings, and microbiological data were recorded from our database. To assess the impact of the disease and the subsequent surgical treatment, patients themselves completed the WHOQOL-BREF Hindi questionnaires twice, based on the recall method.

Results

The mean age of the study cohort was 36.89±12.64 years. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were the most common (68.6%) presenting symptoms. Kidney alone or in combination with other organs was involved in all but six cases, amongst them three cases each exclusively involved the ureter and bladder only. Isolated kidney was involved in 7/35 (20%) patients. Preoperative diversion of the upper tract was needed in 27 patients. Nephrectomy was the most commonly performed surgery (48.6%) overall. Ileal conduit with cystectomy was the most frequently performed reconstructive surgery (14.3%). Amongst all the domains, preoperative mean physical and environmental domain scores improved from 51.08 ± 12.39 to 57.71 ± 14.53 and 55.37 ± 13.41 to 64.02 ± 16.59 after surgery, respectively.

Conclusion

GUTB significantly affects all domains, psychological and physical being the worst affected facets. With surgical treatment, improvement in overall QoL and its domains could be achieved.
A narrative review on rebound acid hypersecretion due to long-term use of proton pump inhibitors
Authors: Balivada Vysheshika , Koraykar Ruttuja Mayuraysh
Published: July 2024

Objectives

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are the most commonly used drugs to reduce hyperacidity. The usage of PPIs reduces the secretion of gastric juice; their prolonged usage results in gastric acid suppression with hypergastrinemia while their stoppage results in hypersecretion of gastric juice. This kind of paradoxical reaction is seen in the rebound effect of drugs. Dr. Samuel Hahnemann gave us the vital principles of homeopathy, the law of similitude, i.e., “similia similibus curentur” derived from the “Nature’s Law of Cure”. This also tells us that the primary action of medicine stimulates the dynamic expression of an organism (vital force), which results in the counteraction called secondary action by the organism.

Material and Methods

Review of literature on the effects of long-term use of PPIs and rebound hypersecretion of gastric juice due to PPIs.

Results

For this review article, 16 most relevant articles are selected from the search results. Thirteen systematic reviews, two randomized control trials, and one pilot study are included. Rebound acid hypersecretion (RAHS) occurs after prolonged treatment with histamine-2 blockers and PPIs, causing gastric hypoacidity and hypergastrinemia. Longer PPI durations can result in prolonged hypersecretion, with moderate hypergastrinemia and increased enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia. Deprescribing PPIs is crucial to reduce RAHS and safety concerns. Long-term usage can lead to nutritional deficiencies, respiratory infections, and bone fractures.

Conclusion

Homeopathic remedies have shown significant results in treating symptoms caused due to gastritis, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc., and further research is needed to reduce RAHS caused due to the long-term use of PPIs.

Published: July 2024

Background & objectives

Injuries profoundly impact global health, with substantial deaths and disabilities, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This paper presents strategic consensus from the Transdisciplinary Research, Advocacy, and Implementation Network for Trauma in India (TRAIN Trauma India) symposium, advocating for enhanced, system-level trauma care to address this challenge.

Methods

Five working groups conducted separate literature reviews on pre-hospital trauma care, in-hospital trauma resuscitation and training, trauma systems, trauma registries, and India’s Towards Improving Trauma Care Outcomes (TITCO) registry. Using a Delphi approach, the TRAIN Trauma India Symposium generated consensus statements and recommendations for interventions to streamline trauma care and reduce preventable trauma mortality in India and LMICs. Experts prioritized interventions based on cost and difficulty.

Results

An expert panel agreed on four pre-hospital consensus statements, eight hospital resuscitation consensus statements, six system-level consensus statements, and six trauma registry consensus statements. The expert panel recommended six pre-hospital interventions, four hospital resuscitation interventions, nine system-level interventions, and seven trauma registry interventions applicable to the Indian context. Of these, 14 interventions were ranked as low cost/low difficulty, five high cost/low difficulty, five low cost/high difficulty, and three high cost/high difficulty.

Interpretation & conclusions

This consensus underscores the urgent need for integrated and efficient trauma systems to reduce preventable mortality, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive care that includes community engagement and robust pre-hospital and acute hospital trauma care pathways. It highlights the critical role of inclusive, system-wide approaches, from enhancing pre-hospital care and in-hospital resuscitation to implementing effective trauma registries to improve outcomes and streamline care across contexts.
Sickle cell anaemia control mission: Implementation of a comprehensive care model in Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh
Authors:   Sickle Cell Anaemia Control Mission Technical Group
Published: July 2024

Background & objectives

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common genetic disorder, predominantly found in the tribal population of India. The examples of models providing comprehensive care and management to individuals with SCD in public health facilities are sparse. The Sickle Cell Anaemia Control Mission is one such model implemented by Jan Swasthya Sahyog, a non-profit organization in collaboration with the National Health Mission in the Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh. This article aimed to identify the key learnings from this programme that can guide the public health system strengthening with respect to SCD.

Methods

The Sickle Cell Anemia Control Mission Programme included door to door screening for anaemia, SCD and blood group. SCD cases were included in the programme and other individuals with Anemia were referred for further care. Care for individuals with SCD included counselling, provision of hydroxyurea, regular follow up of clinical parameters and management of complications. Care for individuals with SCD was provided through monthly patient support group (PSG) meetings and regular outpatient /in-patient care at public health facilities. Quantitative data on programme design, screening and patient management collected during programme implementation were used for analysis.

Results

A total of 39421 persons were screened in 18 months (August 2018-March 2020). Of these 81.9 per cent persons were anaemic, 16.9 per cent had sickle cell trait and 779 (1.98%) had SCD. Eighty-six already diagnosed individuals joined the programme for care. People from all caste categories were diagnosed with SCD. Out of 865 individuals with SCD, 157 underwent regular 9-11 months follow up and showed improvement in clinical symptoms and drug compliance.

Interpretation & conclusions

Central India has a significant burden of anaemia and SCD. This study found that SCD is present in non-tribals as well. PSGs are an efficient way to deliver non-emergency care for chronic diseases such as SCD.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess nursing students' knowledge levels and attitudes towards the etiology, risk factors, and preventive measures of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) using an escape room game. DESIGN: A mixed-method study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING: The sample size of the study was 32 students. METHODS: Quantitative data obtained with the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Nurses in Managing Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis Questionnaire (KAP-IAD-Q) and qualitative data obtained through FGDs following the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) checklist were analyzed using a thematic approach. RESULTS: The average age of the participants was 22.63 ± 0.90, 87.5% of them were female (n=28), and 50% were third (n=16) and fourth-year students (n=16). KAP-IAD-Q total posttest score (88.06+7.00) was found to be high. Data obtained from the FGDs were categorized under 3 main themes: main focus areas during participation in the IAD-themed escape room game; advantages and disadvantages of teamwork in IAD management; and the game's contribution to a better understanding and classification of IAD. CONCLUSIONS: The use of the escape room game facilitated high, fast, and efficient learning of IAD knowledge and attitudes. It revealed challenges in collaborative decision-making, accurate diagnosis, distinguishing from other wounds, and attitude development in the management of IAD.
