Published: July 2024

Problems in the construction today include the overexploitation of natural aggregates as well as corrosion of steel reinforcement. Studies are needed to explore alternative materials that can be used in lieu of natural aggregates. This study investigates the use of pulverized crab shell (PCS) for partial replacement of sand in concrete mixture. The properties of conventional concrete mix are compared with concrete mix with its sand replaced with 10% and 15% PCS. Properties evaluated include compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. The sodium chloride penetration in concrete with PCS is also evaluated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also used to determine if there is any statistical difference among the means of samples compared. The results show that the conventional concrete mix obtained the highest compressive strength and splitting tensile strength, while showing the lowest sodium chloride penetration resistance. The concrete mix with 15% of sand replaced by PCS showed the highest chloride penetration resistance. Although the incorporation of PCS in concrete reduced the compressive strength and split tensile strength in concrete mix, this has potential for use in plastering structures near coastal areas. This is to increase resistance to penetration of chloride in concrete structures which may accelerate deterioration of steel reinforcements that has always been a problem in coastal areas. For further tests, it is recommended that before using PCS in concrete, it should be oven dried or treated and prepared for better fineness and quality. In addition, investigating the potential of heating powdered PCS for cement replacement can be a subject for future research.

Published: July 2024

In early 2018, the recreational water of Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines was declared by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to be contaminated with a coliform count of 1,139 MPN 100 ml-1 sample water. Although water quality assessment was done in the area, no study was conducted on the associated clinically important bacterial pathogens. This study was conducted to assess the microbial contamination and presence of some pathogens, and to compare microbial contamination between 2018 and 2019 in Bacuit Bay. Surface water samples were collected from 11 stations in Bacuit Bay in June 2018 and June 2019. The multiple tube fermentation technique was done to assess the coliform contamination. Selective and differential microbial culture media were used to isolate some clinically important pathogens. Results showed that in 2018, all stations were positive with coliform where nine out of 11 stations exceeded the acceptable level of coliform count for recreational waters. Also, there were eight clinically important putative bacterial pathogens isolated, the Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sp., Salmonella sp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae. In 2019, the coliform count and the associated bacterial pathogens decreased in number with only two out of 11 stations exceeded the acceptable level and two of eight bacterial pathogens were detected. These could be attributed to the activities that were conducted by the local government unit of El Nido to mitigate the pollution in the coastal environment.

Authors: Caipang Christian Le Marjo , Porras Alfredo , Caipang Christopher Marlowe
Published: July 2024

The online social networking, Facebook has gained much popularity among the public primarily for interactions and for the exchange of information. However, the extent of the benefits of this social networking platform in facilitating students’ learning needs to be assessed. A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to determine the perceptions of undergraduate industrial technology students in a public university of using this social networking platform as one of the tools for asynchronous learning. Seventy (70) randomly selected respondents were asked to answer some questions related to their perceptions of using Facebook in their learning activities. The respondents, as a whole group, had a “Favorable” perception towards using Facebook as a learning tool for asynchronous learning. There were no significant differences in the perception of using Facebook when the respondents were grouped according to sex, length of membership and the time spent on using the social network. Respondents who had low scholastic standing had a “Strongly Favorable” perception towards Facebook as a learning tool and their level of perception was significantly different from both groups with average and high scholastic status. There was a weak correlation between the level of perception towards the use of Facebook and the different independent variables and the degree of relationship was not significant. Nevertheless, Facebook can still be used as a platform to create awareness among students about their lessons in school and can be used as one of the avenues to help students who are weak academically through online tutorials and correspondence.

En la década de los sesenta y setenta, el Consultorio para la Mujer de Elena Francis era un espacio radiofónico de gran éxito de escucha y participación. La consideración de estos consultorios radiofónicos como refugios emocionales y el análisis de las cartas que las oyentes enviaban a los mismos suponen la posibilidad de conocer la vida de estas mujeres comunes y corrientes, cuya sentimentalidad sufriente es indicativa de la contradicción existente entre el modelo de mujer que se publicita, en el discurso de la consejera, hecho de prescripciones, y la percepción de sus vidas que tenían las mujeres y que expresaban en sus cartas.

Published: July 2024

A rare congenital abnormality of the inferior vena cava is known as the retrocaval ureter. During embryogenesis, the ureter descendsposteriorly to the inferior vena cava. While this anomaly can occur in pediatric patients, it most frequently presents symptoms in individuals during their third and fourth decades of life, such as hydronephrosis, typically caused by ureteric obstruction. Retrocaval ureter may also be asymptomatic, which could explain its low occurrence worldwide and underreporting of cases. In this particular case, we reviewed the medical record of a 21-year-old male patient who had right Pelviureteric junction obstruction (PUJO) due to a right retrocaval ureter. This condition was clinically managed through a right pyeloplasty procedure and the placement of a double J stent.
Introduction
Since its first description in 1893, the circumcaval ureter, also referred to as the retrocaval ureter, has been documented in fewer than 200 cases [1]. This anomaly leads to the proximal ureter inserting posteriorly to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and subsequently at the renal pelvis. The abnormal development of the infrarenal IVC is attributed to the ventrally positioned subcardinal vein, which confines the ureter posteriorly. Typically, between weeks four and eight of fetal development, the infrarenal IVC grows dorsally from the supra cardinal vein [1]. Prior to reaching the bladder, the distal ureter typically passes superficially alongside the common iliac vessels [2]. Patients with IVC compression of the proximal ureter, resulting in hydronephrosis or hydroureteronephrosis, often remain asymptomatic until their third or fourth decades of life, despite the anomaly being present from birth [3].

Published: July 2024

Multiherbal compositions are widely practiced in ayurvedic medical system, and ka??yam (decoction) is one such dose. Sahacharadi Kashayam is a traditional ayurvedic polyherbal medicine recommended by ayurvedic doctors for chronic and acute back pains, lower limb disorders, and conditions that mainly affect the nutrient level in the blood and the bone. The aim of this study was to develop pharmacognostic parameters for the standardization and quality evaluation of the Sahacharadi Kashayam. In-house polyherbal formulation was prepared as per the previously prescribed method, and physicochemical parameters were evaluated as per standard protocol and showed loss on drying at 99.31%, total ash content at 4.911 ± 0.120%, water-soluble ash at 3.022, and acid-insoluble ash at 0.489. Total phenolic content was estimated with FC reagent and expressed as gallic acid equivalent (9.95 + 0.004 mg/g). High-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) fingerprint profiling was obtained, and the quantity of total tannins was estimated as tannic acid equivalent using HPLC (0.47%). The results obtained from the study could be utilized as a reference for the quality control and quality assurance of Sahacharadi Kashayam.
Unitarily equivalent bilateral weighted shifts with operator weights
Authors: Buchała Michał
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to study unitarily equivalent bilateral weighted shifts with operator weights. Our purpose is to establish a general characterization of unitary equivalence of such shifts under the assumption that the weights are quasi-invertible. Under further assumptions on weights it was proved that unitary equivalence of bilateral weigthed shifts with operator weights defined on \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\) can always be given by a unitary operator with at most two non-zero diagonals. The paper contains also examples of unitarily equivalent shifts with weights defined on \(\mathbb{C}^{k}\) such that every unitary operator, which intertwines them has at least \(k\) non-zero diagonals.

Intuitionistic fuzzy topological space and bitopological space have been introduced by using the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy sets which are the generalizations of interval valued fuzzy sets. This paper commences by presenting the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy T0 in the context of bitopological spaces (IFB-T0). Subsequently, we explore various connections and relationships between these concepts. Then, we find out the relation between intuitionistic T0 and IFB-T0 spaces. Further, we investigated continuity between two IFB spaces.

Silo y Moura: el paisaje de la imaginación como salida del agujero de la violencia
Authors: Suárez Trejo Javier Teofilo
Published: July 2024

El presente ensayo se enfoca en cómo las composiciones tardías de Federico Moura (1951-1988), líder de la banda argentina Virus, ofrecen una forma de lidiar productivamente con un contexto de precariedad existencial. Para llevar a cabo el análisis, serán importantes, por un lado, las propuestas de Mario Rodríguez «Silo» (1938-2010) sobre la imaginación como potencia ético-estética y, por otro lado, la conciencia de imagen de la fenomenología de Edmund Husserl (1859-1938). En la primera parte, a través de la descripción tanto de la conciencia de la imagen husserliana como de la psicología de la imagen siloísta, se verá cómo la imaginación se configura como una potente vía para la (trans)formación de la realidad. A continuación, y a la luz de la descripción previa, se analizará la producción de Virus desde 1985 haciendo especial énfasis en el último álbum de la banda, Superficies de placer (1987), que muestra la estética poético-musical tardía de Federico Moura.
La filial de Matías Celedón: escritura de oficina

Published: July 2024

Este artículo indaga, fundamentalmente, en los posibles vínculos que puedan establecerse entre las condiciones materiales y procedimientos escriturales de La filial de Matías Celedón y el concepto «muerte del autor» (1968) de Roland Barthes. También revisa la estructura y la atmósfera burocrática y agobiante de la oficina en la que se desarrolla la trama, planteando una comparación con dos obras clásicas sobre el tema: Bartleby el escribiente (1853) y Bouvard y Pécuchet (1880). Finalmente, alude a referentes de la poesía experimental como Martín Gubbins, Guillermo Deisler, Elsa Werth y Sergio Chejfec, entre otros, con el objetivo de perfilar una suerte de «escritura de oficina» que trasciende las diferencias habituales entre los géneros narrativo y poético.
La obra es un libro, el muro es un texto Escritura y visualidad autobiográfica en la obra de Sophie Calle
Authors: Arrieta Gutiérrez Paula
Published: July 2024

La artista francesa Sophie Calle (París, 1953) se ha caracterizado por un trabajo híbrido y muchas veces inclasificable. En sus obras se dan cita de igual forma tanto la fotografía, el video y la instalación como la escritura autobiográfica, de bitácora y de correspondencia. A partir de la discusión teórica y conceptual sobre el giro textual y giro visual en la producción de pensamiento y de la dimensión autobiográfica en el arte, en este artículo me propongo explorar los modos en que se reúnen y cruzan visualidad y escritura en la obra de Calle y cómo estas estrategias configuran un lugar inédito e híbrido —fronterizo e imperfecto— para el relato autobiográfico, repercutiendo en las formas con que el arte aborda uno de sus temas centrales, esto es, la presentación y la representación, y las nociones de verdad y ficción contenidas en ellas.

La violencia filio-parental son conductas agresivas ejercida por hijos e hijas menores de edad hacia sus padres, madres o cuidadores de manera física, psicológica y/o económica, siendo este un fenómeno existente y visible en la actualidad, pero con estudios insuficientes para llegar a comprender este tipo de violencia intrafamiliar. Este estudio evaluó reportes policiales de violencia intrafamiliar de los años 2021, 2022 y 2023 en la comuna de Curicó (Región del Maule, Chile), en los cuales se presenta el parentesco de la víctima con el victimario, dando como resultado que durante los últimos años el número de personas denunciadas hijos/as menores de edad de las víctimas va en aumento. Con la recategorización de los tipos de violencia intrafamiliar, se lograron observar casos de violencia filio-parental. Luego de la contrastación de experiencias internacionales, se entregan recomendaciones para la generación de estrategias de acción e intervención en la temática desde los aportes de Trabajo Social y los contextos socioculturales de la comuna de Curicó.
El mundo silenciado: Experiencia etnográfica en una comunidad Sorda
Authors: García Barriga Lucía Monserratte
Published: July 2024

Debido a sus características, las personas Sordas conforman un mundo cuya existencia se ve vulnerada en la sociedad a causa de las barreras comunicacionales que surgen con relación al mundo oyente. Con la vulneración se ponen de manifiesto desigualdades educativas, laborales, y de accesibilidad en general, lo que deriva en un fenómeno de exclusión social. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las formas de interacción social que las personas Sordas ponen en práctica con relación a los mundos oyente y Sordo, a través de un estudio etnográfico exploratorio. Los resultados demuestran que la sordera no representa una discapacidad en sí misma, sino que, es en contraste con el mundo oyente y sus barreras que surge la situación de discapacidad. Además, se revela el carácter social de la población Sorda, comprendida no desde su discapacidad sino desde su historia, cultura y lengua de señas (LS). En ese sentido, se identifica a la disciplina del Trabajo Social como un facilitador en los procesos de socialización de los niños Sordos, además de un agente clave en la intervención y acompañamiento de sus familias a través del abordaje de la sordera desde un enfoque social.

El trabajo tuvo como propósito analizar cómo asumen los mandatos de género, como padres y esposos, hombres de diferentes edades, criados por distintas figuras, de Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, México. El estudio es de tipo cualitativo con perspectiva hermenéutica, realizado a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los resultados llevaron a la conformación de dos bloques temáticos: Historias de familia marcadas por el patriarcado, se abordó el proceso del cómo agenciaron características del orden social y de la expresión de sus emociones; y, Eso ya no es para mí, metáfora que visibiliza las tensiones, negociación y conflictos en las labores domésticas y la crianza de los hijos. El agenciamiento y ejercicio de la masculinidad a través de los mandatos de género es similar en los sujetos, independientemente de generación o figuras de su crianza, aunque manifiestan ciertas inconformidades; no así en las labores domésticas y la crianza, en que los hombres de 30 a 40 años “deben”, “tienen que” realizar estas ante la ausencia por trabajo de la pareja, quien además tiene mayor solvencia económica, con lo que se acomodan a dichas tareas, manteniendo su preeminencia simbólica de poder en el ejercicio de la labor paterna y la toma de decisiones.

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent and fatal forms of cancer in India. It ranks the second most common cancer in rural areas and the most common in urban areas. According to a report by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were over 2.26 million new breast cancer cases and nearly 685,000 deaths from breast cancer globally. With a significant portion of India's population being young, the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer is expected to increase, reaching alarming levels due to a lack of awareness and delays in diagnosis. While breast cancer cannot be prevented, early detection and timely treatment can significantly improve survival rates. This study uses K-Nearest Neighbour (K-NN), Random Forest, Decision Trees (CART), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Naïve Bayes to aid oncologists in identifying and diagnosing breast cancer, thereby assisting in treatment decision-making. We present a predictive model for the early detection of breast cancer and compare the results of the employed models for effective detection.

Since the start of this century, there has been significant attention placed on climate change, largely due to its direct impact on ecosystems and agriculture, particularly affecting farmers in vulnerable regions. A descriptive research study was undertaken to explore the attitude of farmers towards climate resilient agricultural technologies in the National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) project implemented villages of Suryapet and Khammam districts of Telangana state, India. The ex-post facto research design was used in this study. A sample of 200 respondents from the two districts i.e. Suryapet and Khammam were randomly selected to assess the attitude of farmers towards these CRA technologies and also employed Z test to evaluate significant difference between the attitude of farmers in Suryapet and Khammam districts towards climate resilient technologies. The findings of the study revealed that the majority of the Suryapet and Khammam (62.67% and 72.00%) farmers had highly favourable attitude towards CRA technologies which was followed by moderately favourable (35.33% and 28.00%) and less favourable (2.00% and 0.00%). On the whole, nearly two third (65.00%) of the respondents had highly favourable attitude towards CRA technologies which is considered as a precursor for adoption of these technologies by the farming community. By employing the Z-test it was observed that there was a difference between farmers' attitude in the Suryapet and Khammam districts where Khammam farmers were having slightly more favourable attitude when compared to Suryapet farmers. Therefore, the outcomes of this research study could assist extension organizations in effectively training and implementing climate-resilient technologies under the National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) initiative in the other villages.

Climate change is becoming one of the major constraints for agricultural production. Impact on the crop yield due to unseasonal rain, hailstorms, and sudden temperature rise is becoming more frequent. The study assesses the damage done by the heat wave in the Ludhiana district of Punjab in the year 2021-22. Satellite datasets have been used named Sentinel-2 and MODIS datasets. By using the Sentinel-2 Images crop discrimination was performed and wheat crop mask was generated for the year 2018-19 to 2021-22. A comparison of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was performed for the study period. MODIS dataset was used to calculate the Temperature Condition Index (TCI) and Temperature Stress Index, which reflects the effect of the heat wave that happened in March 2022. APY (Area, Production, Yield) and data on the procurement of wheat for the year 2021-22 and normal years were compared to visualize the impact of heat wave on the various market dynamics such as production, productivity, etc.

The present study is titled “Effect of different organic sources on seed yield of rabi fennel (Foeniculam vulgare P. Mill.) under organic farming. It was carried out at Agronomy Instructional Farm of the Chimanbhai Patel College of Agriculture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat during Rabi season of the year 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2019-20. Foeniculum vulgare, commonly known as fennel, is a widely recognized and essential medicinal and aromatic plant from the Apiaceae family. This study also examines the impact of organic sourcess in fennel cultivation, highlighting their potential to improve soil structure and microbial biomass. Organic sources, derived from both animal and plant sources, are considered eco-friendly alternatives with long term benefits. Results from the study indicate that for growing rabi fennel under organic farming application of 75% RDN (67.5 kg N/ha) either through castor cake or FYM at the time of sowing along with seed inoculation with Azotobacter and PSB @ 5 ml/kg seed for obtaining higher seed yield and net returns. These findings suggest the potential of organic manures to improve the growth and yield of fennel. In conclusion, this provides an extensive overview of fennel, addressing its botanical characteristics, chemical composition, pharmacological attributes, traditional uses, and agricultural practices. The experimental data highlights the positive impact of organic manures on fennel growth parameters, offering valuable insights for sustainable cultivation practices.

Published: July 2024

Deficiency of soil micronutrients has an adverse impact on crop productivity in intensive agriculture. Plant availability, spatial pattern and distribution of soil micronutrients such as iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) content in surface soils were evaluated for an agricultural farm in semiarid region of India. Other soil properties viz. soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon (SOC) content and equivalent calcium carbonate (CaCO3) content at the farm were also analysed to depict the soil chemical environment, controlling micronutrient availability. Plant available micronutrient contents within farm soils had very high data variability (coefficient of variation >30%). Soil available micronutrients content were negatively correlated with soil pH and positively correlated with SOC content. As per semivariogram analysis, plant available Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu content within farm soils had moderate spatial dependency as indicated by nugget to sill ratio between 0.30 and 0.50 and had spatial parameter ranges of 404, 801, 954 and 1529 m, respectively. Prediction map of plant available Fe content by inverse distance weightage (IDW) method showed a few patches of iron deficiency (< 4.50 mg kg-1) and a marginal level (4.50 - 9.00 mg kg-1). Spatial distribution map of plant available Zn content through lognormal ordinary kriging method indicated a patch of marginal Zn level (0.60 - 1.20 mg kg-1) within the farm soils. Farm scale spatial variability maps of plant available Mn and Cu content, generated by ordinary kriging method with good accuracy and effectiveness, indicated its adequate level with respect to crop nutrition. The spatial distribution maps of soil available micronutrients content for the farm could be served as reference for its precise and site specific management for intensive crop cultivation, higher productivity and profitability.
