TREND-RUN model application of surface temperature and its implications for South African forestry and reforestation using local weather services data
Authors: Jimmy Raven , Govender Pramanathan , Bencherif Hassan , Moodley Matthew
Published: June 2019

Temperature can directly and indirectly impact the livelihood of inhabitants of a country and the natural environment as a whole. The surface temperature trend approximations for South Africa (SA) were calculated using a linear-regression fitting model. The model was adapted at The University of Reunion Island and was referred to as the Trend-Run model. The geophysical signal of the model was split into a sum of oscillations, which was used to clarify most of its variability. The trend values were calculated from the residual terms as a linear function. The model used atmospheric oscillations, which included Annual (AO), Semi-Annual (SAO), Quasi-Biennial Oscillations (QBO), El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the 11-years solar cycle-Sun Spot Number (SSN) and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The South African Weather Service (SAWS) data were used for the study. Data sets over a 31-year period, from March 1980 to December 2011, were used to measure the validity of the Trend-Run model, to determine the contribution and effect of this particular oscillation, and the validity of the model. The Trend-Run model showed very high applicability to the surface temperatures in all provinces across the SA region under investigation. High coefficient of determination values between (0.70-0.91) were recorded for surface temperatures across all provinces in the country with minor variations. The AO, ENSO and SAO were the highest contributing forcings in the model, thereby showing their high relevance to the success of this model in the study area. The temperature increases are expected to negatively impact on the biomes of SA, including the forest biome. Selected tree species of Acacia, Eucalyptus and Pinus could be impacted negatively with rising temperatures, which would negatively impact on the forestry industry in SA. As expected, the model did obtain a high success rate that ranged from 70% to 91% in the areas under study, however, there was still room for improvement by the possible inclusion of additional atmospheric forcings to the model that maybe be applicable to the weather and forestry distribution in SA.
Bios and ethics in our complex adaptable systems
Authors: Sass Hans-Martin
Published: June 2019

We, our bodies and spirits and our natural and social biotopes are complex adaptable systems [CAS’s], interdependent and vulnerable within natural, cultural and political biotopes, longing for life, health and happiness. Clinical and pediatric expertise and ethics are also integrated in many fields of competence and care for our integrated bios and for sustainable biotopes in nature and society. A Bioethical Imperative calls for protecting the complex and interdependent bios in nature and agriculture and in our human social, economic, corporate, cultural, and political bodies for the benefit of our children and ourselves, and for discussing ‘health’ and ‘improvement’ in ethical and not only in technical terms. The protection and promotion of healthy people, sustainable societies, and diverse and stable political bodies depend on basic economic accomplishments, healthy food, harmonious communities, preservation and diversity of cultures and environments, on individual dignity and social recognition, i.e. on gross happiness products [GHP’s] and not only on gross national products [GNP’s] measured in economic terms only.
Is the privacy of information protected in a neonatal intensive care unit?
Authors: Porta Roser , Ibáñez Beatriz , Berenguer Cristina , Roca Montserrat , González Clara , Gomez Mª Teresa , Molina Vicente
Published: June 2019

Respecting patients’ intimacy and confidentiality can be a challenge in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) designed according to traditional standards (e.g. a single big room with a number of cots and incubators located close one to another). Concerned about this topic, two members of the team designed a study to check the quality of the confidentiality in the NICU area, and identify opportunities for improvement. This is an observational study performed for a period of one month. The observed team was not aware of being observed. During observation time, a total of 147 hours, 25 confidentiality violation situations were encountered. Twelve (48%) were comments, spoken with a loud voice, about the patients in the NICU area or in adjacent areas, 24% (6/25) were related to the privacy issues due to leaving medical documentation or computer screens available for anybody to see or informing parents in a way that could be heard by parents of other babies, 12% (3/25) were phone conversations about patients in a loud voice, 4% (1/25) were answering questions to parents or relatives about other babies. The medical and personal information of the patients in the NICU is often exposed and shared with parents of other patients and non-related professionals. The architectural design of the traditional NICUs, some socio-cultural issues in South European countries, and the difficulties in changing attitudes are the critical points to focus on to start a quality educational project to protect the right to intimacy and confidentiality of vulnerable children and parents admitted to the NICUs.
Children’s autonomy in medical decision-making
Authors: Cheng-tek Tai Michael
Published: June 2019

Should children be allowed to express their opinion in regards to medical treatment or experiment? In the past, the practice seemed to assume that children are not matured enough to make decision affecting their well-being, their guardians therefore are given the power to decide for them. In this article the author will argue that this practice should be changed and children should be allowed to get involved. The author quoted findings of Grootens-Wiegers P., Hein I. M., van den Broek J. M. and de Vires M. C. in regards to children’s ability from developmental and neuroscientific aspects that children actually start knowing their like, dislike, good and bad… from a very young age. Though these processes are gradual, the finding tells us that children are not as immature as we used to think. The author thus argues that children’s autonomy must be respected in some way when medical decision is to be made. At least, they must be told what options are available and seek their opinion.
Effects of Full Body Exergaming in Virtual Reality on Cardiovascular and Muscular Parameters: Cross-Sectional Experiment
Authors: Feodoroff Boris , Konstantinidis Ippokratis , Froböse Ingo
Published: June 2019

Background

In recent years, many studies have associated sedentary behavior in front of screens with health problems in infants, children, and adolescents. Yet options for exergaming—playing video games that require rigorous physical exercise—seem to fall short of the physical activity levels recommended by the World Health Organization.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a fully immersive virtual reality (VR)-based training system on cardiovascular and muscular parameters of young adults.

Methods

A cross-sectional experiment design was used to analyze muscle activity (surface electromyography), heart rate, perceived exertion (RPE), cybersickness symptoms, perceived workload, and physical activity enjoyment (PACES) in 33 participants performing two 5-minute flights on a new training device.

Results

Participants’ performance of the planking position required to play the game resulted in moderate aerobic intensity (108 [SD 18.69] bpm). Due to the mainly isometric contraction of the dorsal muscle chain (with a mean activation between 20.6% [SD 10.57] and 26.7% [SD 17.39] maximum voluntary isometric contraction), participants described the exercise as a moderate to vigorous activity (RPE 14.6 [SD 1.82]). The majority reported that they enjoyed the exercise (PACES 3.74 [SD 0.16]). However, six participants had to drop out because of cybersickness symptoms and two because of muscle pain due to prior injuries.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that fully immersive VR training systems can contribute to muscle-strengthening activities for healthy users. However, the dropout rate highlights the need for technological improvements in both software and hardware. In prevention and therapy, movement quality is a fundamental part of providing effective resistance training that benefits health. Exergaming on a regular basis has the potential to develop strong muscles and a healthy back. It is essential that future VR-based training systems take into account the recommendations of sport and exercise science.
A Mobile App to Support Parents Making Child Mental Health Decisions: Protocol for a Feasibility Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Liverpool Shaun , Webber Helen , Matthews Rob , Wolpert Miranda , Edbrooke-Childs Julian
Published: June 2019

Background

Shared decision making (SDM) is recognized as a person-centered approach to improving health care quality and outcomes. Few digital interventions to improve SDM have been tested in child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) settings. One such intervention is Power Up, a mobile phone app for young people (YP), which has shown some evidence of promise that YP who received Power Up reported greater levels of SDM. However, even though parents play a critical role in CAMH care and treatment, they often feel excluded from services.

Objective

This protocol is for a pilot trial to determine the feasibility of a large-scale randomized trial to develop and evaluate a Web app called Power Up for Parents (PUfP) to support parents and promote involvement in CAMH decisions.

Methods

A 2-stage process, consisting of the development stage and pilot-testing stage of the initial PUfP prototype, will be conducted. At the development stage, a qualitative study with parents and clinicians will be conducted. The interviews will aim to capture the experience of making CAMH decisions, preferences for involvement in SDM, and determine situations within which PUfP can be useful. At the pilot-testing stage, up to 90 parents and their clinicians will be invited to participate in the testing of the prototype. Parents will be randomly allocated to receive the intervention or be part of the control group. This study design will allow us to assess the acceptability and usefulness of PUfP in addition to examining the feasibility of a prospective randomized trial. Clinicians’ perceptions of the prototype and how it has influenced parents’ involvement in SDM will also be examined.

Results

Recruitment began in January 2019 and is scheduled to last for 10 months. Interviews and baseline data collection are currently in progress. To date, 11 CAMH sites have been recruited to take part in the study. It is anticipated that data collection will be completed by October 2019.

Conclusions

The lack of parents’ involvement in CAMH care and treatment can lead to higher rates of dropout from care and lower adherence to therapeutic interventions. There are significant benefits to be gained globally if digital SDM interventions are adopted by parents and shown to be successful in CAMH settings.

Published: June 2019

E-mental health is an emerging area of research that has the potential to overcome some of the current barriers to progress in working with people at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P). This article provides an overview of how e-mental health could be used in the detection, prediction, and treatment in the CHR-P population. Specifically, we evaluate e-detection, e-prediction, and e-therapeutics for this clinical population. E-mental health holds great promise to improve current management of CHR-P individuals.
Mycophenolate Mofetil Versus Cyclophosphamide for the Induction of Remission in Nonlife-Threatening Relapses of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody–Associated Vasculitis
Authors: Tuin Janneke , Stassen Patricia M. , Bogdan Daria I. , Broekroelofs Jan , van Paassen Pieter , Cohen Tervaert Jan Willem , Sanders Jan-Stephan , Stegeman Coen A.
Published: June 2019

Background and objectives

Cyclophosphamide has been the mainstay of treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis. However, cyclophosphamide has unfavorable side effects and alternatives are needed. Evidence suggests that mycophenolate mofetil can induce sustained remission in nonlife-threatening disease. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of mycophenolate mofetil versus cyclophosphamide for the induction treatment of nonlife-threatening relapses of proteinase 3-ANCA– and myeloperoxidase-ANCA–associated vasculitis.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

We conducted a multicenter randomized, controlled trial. Participants with a first or second relapse of ANCA-associated vasculitis were randomized to induction treatment with cyclophosphamide or mycophenolate mofetil both in combination with glucocorticoids. Maintenance therapy consisted of azathioprine in both arms. Primary outcome was remission at 6 months, and secondary outcomes included disease-free survival at 2 and 4 years.

Results

Eighty-four participants were enrolled, of whom 41 received mycophenolate mofetil and 43 received cyclophosphamide. Eighty-nine percent of participants were proteinase 3-ANCA positive. At 6 months, 27 (66%) mycophenolate mofetil–treated participants versus 35 (81%) cyclophosphamide-treated participants were in remission (P=0.11). Disease-free survival rates at 2 and 4 years were 61% and 39% for cyclophosphamide, respectively, and 43% and 32% for mycophenolate mofetil, respectively (at 4 years, log rank test, P=0.17).

Conclusions

We did not demonstrate mycophenolate mofetil to be similarly effective as cyclophosphamide in inducing remission of relapsed ANCA-associated vasculitis. However, mycophenolate mofetil might be an alternative to cyclophosphamide for the treatment of selected patients with nonlife-threatening relapses.
Más allá de la imagen: una mirada cercana a la ilustración editorial
Authors: Arley Dávila Nayelli Herzel
Published: June 2019

The vast universe of illustration and its manifestations in diverse media –such as publicity, commercial and cultural products design, internet and its derivatives, textile and editorial industries, among others– have given place, in the past years, to a particular interest for its study and professionalization in Mexico. In order to contribute to that goal, from an editorial perspective arises this brief study, which offers the comprehension of illustration far beyond the role of a decorative element inside the book. In this article we approach illustration from its formal definition, its origins, its development in México –through a very brief historical review– and its communicative structures. Such reflections are rarely made and constitute the key point for illustration practice. To reinforce this viewpoint and to throw a wider vision of illustration as a discipline, the fields of design and communication will help building the theoretical bases for its formal study. In a similar fashion, an emphasis on the reader’s figure results fundamental to comprehend the graphic and communicative circuit of illustration that makes it a formal visual language that overtakes its container, the book, bringing it closer to subjectivity.

Modelo social de discapacidad, bajo las perspectivas de la Corte Interamericana. Desarrollo jurisprudencial de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos (2006-2016) hacia la practica del modelo social de discapacidad
Authors: Sarmiento Contreras Carlos A.
Published: June 2019

A través del desarrollo interamericano de derechos humanos, se ha gestado la nueva ola de protección frente a las personas con discapacidad, relegando los históricos modelos religioso y clínico, que, auspiciando la participación de nuevos factores,como condicionamiento para el refuerzo de las obligaciones internacionales de los Estados,a través de la Convención de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad en el 2006, dan implementación formal del modelo social de discapacidad. De tal manera, se entra a evidenciar a través del alcance del corpus iuris internacional de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, los fallos emitidos por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, del periodo comprendido entre 2006 a 2016, frente a la dinamización y/o efectivización del referido modelo, en evidencia de condiciones o situaciones de discapacidad.

Las contradicciones constitucionales de la reforma energética
Authors: Márquez Daniel
Published: June 2019

La reforma energética de 2013 tiene como referente el olvido de la historia. Lo que muestra que el argumento que relativiza la historia no resiste el menor análisis. En una rápida toma de posición, se pueden contrastar los argumentos de la reforma energética de 2013 con el “Discurso del Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas del Río, al abrir el Congreso sus sesiones ordinarias”. La justificación de la reforma energética se carga de argumentos económicos e históricos. De estos argumentos destacan dos por la apelación al cardenismo, que aluden a la historia como recurso retórico para justificar un determinado proyecto político-económico, destacando las supuestas bondades del proyecto liberal y permitir la inversión extranjera en los energéticos mexicanos.

Published: June 2019

Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) and progesterone concentrations were assessed in Holstein heifers 28 days post-insemination, following estrus synchronization with either a double prostaglandin (PG) injection or the ovsynch protocol. Animals between 15 and 20 months of age, with a 3-3.5 BCS, were randomly assigned to three groups: Heifers in the control group (n = 70) were monitored for estrus behaviour for 21 days and inseminated when detected in standing heat; Estrus of heifers in the Ovsynch group (n = 70)) was synchronized following the Ovsynch protocol, and timed artificial insemination was performed 16 h after the completion of treatment; Animals in the PG group (n = 70) received two prostaglandin-F2α injections 11 days apart, were monitored for estrus behaviour for 2-5 days following the last injection, and inseminated when in heat. Serum PAGs and progesterone concentrations were measured in pregnant heifers (control group n = 25; ovsynch group n = 22; PG group n = 21) on day 28 after artificial insemination (AI). Mean serum PAGs concentrations (OD: optical density) were similar between groups (control = 3.37 ± 0.148, Ovsynch = 3.21 ± 0.136, and PG = 3.34 ± 0.143; p > 0.05). However, serum progesterone concentrations were found to be lower in the ovsynch group (4.70 ± 0.17 ng/mL) when compared to the PG (5.34 ± 0.13 ng/mL) or the control (5.37 ± 0.08 ng/mL) groups (p < 0.001). There was no correlation between serum PAGs and progesterone levels at day 28 post-insemination, or between early pregnancy PAGs concentrations and fetal death rates. Further research, including multiple sampling time points throughout gestation, after estrus synchronization protocols is warranted, to determine if there are associated temporal changes in PAGs and progesterone profiles that could impact reproductive parameters in dairy heifers.

Published: June 2019

Las preocupaciones internacionales respecto de la promoción de la vocación científica y el uso responsable del conocimiento científico nos involucra en la búsqueda de nuevas formas de enseñanza de la química que supere la enseñanza meramente propedéutica y se oriente  a la formación para un ejercicio responsable de la ciudadanía en lo que respecta a ciencia y tecnología. En el presente trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio realizadosobre la percepción que estudiantes de Nivel Secundario tienen sobre la química, sus implicancias e importancia en la vida cotidiana. Para ello se diseñó un cuestionario estructurado en 4 secciones que fue respondido por 795 estudiantes. El análisis de los resultados muestra que los estudiantes asocian la química con expresiones y términos referidos a su dimensión estrictamente disciplinar, reconociendo su impacto en la sociedad como muy positivo. Asimismo, se observó una clara tendencia a vincular la química con algunos elementos del contexto inmediato de los estudiantes lo que posibilitaría la implementación de nuevas metodologías de enseñanza que recupera elementos del contexto para el desarrollo de saberes vinculados con la disciplina desde una perspectiva centrada en la responsabilidad y el desarrollo sostenible.

El desarrollo de la actividad científica en México entre 1821 y el porfiriato tuvo un apoyo muy escaso. En particular, en esta investigación analizaremos la Cátedra de Botánica después de 1821, en especial de 1843 a 1859, periodo en el que se vinculó con el Colegio de Minería. con el fin de comprender su evolución mediante los actos públicos del Colegio reflejados en prensa y folletería. La metodología retoma los estudios sociales de la ciencia que relacionan la historia de la educación con la ciencia decimonónica. Los resultados señalan que la Cátedra funcionó a pesar de la crisis sociopolítica del país, y matizan la visión de la historiografía tradicional que supone un nulo desarrollo de la actividad científica en ese periodo histórico.

Jean-Pierre Blais’ “Magic Items”: Over-the-Air Digital Television Delivery as Canadian Regulatory Revelation
Authors: May Steven James , Middleton Catherine
Published: June 2019

This article argues that a January 2015 speech by former Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) Chairman Jean-Pierre Blais represented a moment of regulatory revelation for digital Canada. In the speech, Blais proclaimed that his Canada included over-the-air (OTA) television, elevating the profile of OTA television delivery, spectrum, and infrastructure in the process. This article discusses the policy implications of the CRTC’s vision of an alternative path for Canada’s television broadcast system. It is a vision that deviates from the subscription-based cable, satellite, and Internet Protocol television modes of delivery in Canada and positions OTA as a viable component of Canada’s television delivery future.

Background Outbreaks of disease are common fodder for political debate and public discourse. In the past decade alone, health officials have faced a steady stream of serious public health threats, from H1N1 to Ebola and Zika, as well as large outbreaks of measles and other highly contagious illnesses. These incidents command intense media attention and focus public conversation around questions of risk and responsibility.

Analysis This article examines major frames in Canadian news coverage of the Disneyland measles outbreak in 2015 to show how public health events are translated into social problems that magnify moral and political concerns. It discusses how parents who reject or express worries about vaccination were portrayed, and traces which solutions were presented to address the problem of vaccine preventable illness.

Conclusion and implications Media coverage focused heavily on “anti-vaxxers” as central characters in the outbreak story. The coverage conformed largely to an established biomedical narrative, in which medical and health experts set the definitional parameters around the outbreak causes and consequences, and the preventive measures that should be taken to prevent future occurrences.

This article discusses the role of digital literacy as a digital strategy policy goal in Canada. It reviews previous framings of digital literacy and suggests how they could be broadened to avoid an overly superficial treatment of Canadians’ negotiation of digital culture and policymaking.
Searching for Data Privacy Self-Management: Individual Data Control and Canada’s Digital Strategy
Authors: Obar Jonathan A.
Published: June 2019

The problematic presumption that users can control the vast consent and data-management responsibilities associated with big data is referred to as the fallacy of data privacy self-management. Though untenable, this presumption remains fundamental to Canadian privacy law, exemplified in the individual access principle of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act governing commercial data management. This article describes the fallacy, critiques the individual access principle, and introduces potential solutions relevant to Canada’s digital strategy.
Lost in the App Store: The State of the Canadian Game App Economy
Authors: Nieborg David B. , Young Chris , Joseph Daniel
Published: June 2019

This commentary discusses the political economy of apps. The authors found that Canadian-made game apps are notably absent in the Canadian App Store. This should be both worrying and surprising, as Canada has a relatively sizable game industry. While policy conversations on digital transformation focus on emerging technology, the authors point toward the power and politics of digital platforms as one of the key issues preventing growth in the Canadian digital economy.
O saber surge da prática - por um Serviço Social com perspectiva feminista
Authors: Lisboa Teresa Kleba , De Oliveira Catarina Nascimento
Published: June 2019

O presente artigo propõe uma interlocução entre o Serviço Social e os Estudos Feministas no processo de construção do conhecimento introduzindo a categoria interseccionalidade para legitimar a multiplicidade de diferenças com as quais nos deparamos no cotidiano de nossas práticas. Amparadas na Epistemologia Feminista, questionamos o reducionismo do Serviço Social brasileiro a uma única corrente teórica, o marxismo, que submete toda a complexidade da vida humana a esfera da produção. O texto busca desvendar as fissuras que avançam no campo do conhecimento, no sentido de contribuir com propostas teóricas que atravessam fronteiras interseccionais, transversais, interdisciplinares entre as categorias gênero, raça, etnia, sexualidade, classe, geração entre outras. O percurso argumentativo acompanhará uma sequência de reflexões realizadas ao longo de anos de experiência, tanto na prática acadêmica, como nos trabalhos de campo realizados através de Projetos de Pesquisa e Extensão.
A servidão voluntária e o discurso de empreendedorismo cultural: aproximações (tristes, mas) possíveis
Authors: Nascimento Monique , Coelho Marina , Tavares Larissa Ferreira , Rodrigues Marcio Silva
Published: June 2019

Objetivamos, neste trabalho, discutir possíveis aproximações entre a ideia de empreendedorismo e a servidão voluntária dos trabalhadores artistas a partir da análise do Cultura Gera Futuro, campanha federal, amplamente veiculada, que centralizou as ações do Ministério da Cultura, a partir do governo Temer. Utilizamos para análise do conteúdo da campanha, dados do site oficial e da observação não participante realizada na etapa de circuito de divulgação realizada em Florianópolis-SC. Pudemos evidenciar a vinculação, no Cultura Gera Futuro, da figura do artista à imagem difundida de empreendedor de si, discurso que reforça e dissemina como positiva e natural uma forma sofisticada de dominação contemporânea.

What can a process do? A passage from ritual to rituality
Authors: Usoa Fullaondo
Published: June 2019

In this exposition I try to build new relationships between different creative processes arising from nature, life, and art. This is done by setting up visual, textual, and affective analogies through superimpositions of layers of images, sound, and text based on the book Un Atletismo Afectivo (An Affective Athleticism) (publication on paper, 116 pp, 2016) and the audiovisual work Trenza (Braid) (HD video, 55', 2017).

These two works were developed around a particular space, the fields of Aixerrota in Algorta (Bizkaia, Basque Country). The book is an attempt to translate my habitual experience of running through this space into art, while the film mainly focuses on observing and experiencing how the landscape was turned into a space for a festive event. Three separate narrative strands, each referring to a particular process, intertwine. The first of these is filmings of young people's actions as they prepare the space for the International Paella competition. A second strand consists of fragments of a voice-over by David Attenborough from the documentary Bowerbirds: The art of seduction (2000), which shows male bowerbirds building the bowers where they will court the female bird. The third strand includes sequences from my own work, which outline emerging processes of artistic creation and research.

The aim of this exposition is to share the singularity of processes in which the need to bond or to attach (Juan Luis Moraza, 2009) instigates a conscientious preparation of space that will allow an event to succeed. It also highlights the way in which some of these processes may interrupt the normal course of things and the self-absorption born from habit by opening up from the individual towards the collective, by confronting the tension resulting from an indeterminate end result, and by re-enacting aesthetic experience through the production of an audiovisual and sculptural landscape. The underlying question of the work relates to the potential of new arrangements of materials to open up new creative processes.
Estilos de atribución causal. Importancia para la investigación e intervención profesional en la etapa adolescente/Causal Attribution Styles. Importance for Research and Professional Intervention During Adolescence
Authors: Yurán Chavarría Carlos
Published: June 2019

EspañolSe describe el recorrido histórico que ha llevado a lo largo del tiempo la teoría de los estilos de atribución causal hasta llegar al punto que aquí se presenta. Se establecen cercanías y relaciones con otras teorías y paradigmas propios de la Psicología con el fin de ubicarla en este marco general y reconocer en él los particulares aportes que de ella se desprenden. Para ello, se reporta una serie de resultados de investigaciones realizadas donde se muestra no solo la validez de sus constructos, sino también su relación con diversas conductas, actitudes y patologías indagadas. Se discute, además, la importancia de contar con una teoría de este tipo para examinar y, sobre todo, apoyar la intervención psicológica, tanto clínica como social, en la población adolescente.EnglishIn this report, we describe the historical path that led over time to the present day theory of Causal Attribution Styles. Some similarities and relationships with other theories and paradigms in Psychology are established, in order to acknowledge the place of Causal Attribution Styles in this general framework and identify private contributions. We also discuss the importance of having such a theory to do research and, above all, support intervention in Clinical and Social Psychology, during adolescence. To do this, a number of research fi ndings are reported where they show the validity of their constructs, when they are correlated with other theories, as well as their relationship to various behaviors, attitudes and pathologies of various groups, including adolescent populations.

Published: June 2019

A rarely found polymeric complex of copper(II) was obtained in the reaction of 2-(4-methylphenyl)acetate and copper sulfate and crystallized in quantitative yield. The complex was characterized using FT-IR, electron spin resonance, absorption spectroscopy, electrochemistry and powder and single crystal XRD studies. The structure was found to consist of interconnected paddlewheel units without an intervening ligand resulting in a stepped polymeric arrangement of the structure. The purity of the sample was judged from powder XRD data while ESR spectroscopy indicated a weak signal between 3000 and 4000 G values, indicating the presence of Cu(II) in the complex. Electrochemistry revealed an irreversible, predominantly diffusion controlled CuIICuII/CuIICuI process with a D0 value calculated to be 3.032?10-8 cm2 s-1. The complex was screened for its DNA-binding ability through cyclic voltammetry, absorption and florescence spectroscopy and viscometry; the former two yielding Kb values of 3.34?103 and 6.90?103 M-1, respectively. The complex exhibited significant activity against fungal strain Mucor piriformis, moderate activity against Aspergillus niger and slight activity against Helminthosporium solani. These preliminary findings revealed the excellent biological potential of the synthesized complex.
