ABSTRACT Background: The effects of topical application of sucralfate (SCF) on the tissue content of MUC-2 protein have not yet been evaluated in experimental models of diversion colitis. Aim: To measure the tissue content of MUC-2 protein in the colonic mucosa diverted from fecal stream submitted to the SCF intervention. Methods: Thirty-six rats underwent derivation of intestinal transit through proximal colostomy and distal mucous fistula. The animals were divided into three groups which were submitted application of enemas with saline, SCF 1 g/kg/day and SCF 2 g/kg/day. Each group was divided into two subgroups, according to euthanasia was done after two or four weeks. The colitis diagnosis was established by histopathological study and the inflammatory intensity was evaluated by previously validated scale. The MUC-2 protein was identified by immunohistochemistry and the tissue content was measured computerized morphometry). Results: The application of enemas with SCF in the concentration of 2 g/kg/day reduced inflammatory score of the segments that were diverted from fecal stream. The content of MUC-2 in diverted colon of the animals submitted to the intervention with SCF, independently of intervention period and the used concentration, was significantly greater than animals submitted to the application of enemas containing saline (p< 0.01). The content of MUC-2 after the intervention with SCF in the concentration of 2 g/kg/day was significantly higher when compared to the animals submitted to the application containing SCF at concentration of 1.0 g/kg/day (p<0.01). The tissue content of MUC-2 reached the highest values after intervention with SCF in the concentration of 2 g/kg/day for four weeks (p<0.01). Conclusion: The preventive application of enemas containing SCF reduces the inflammatory score and avoids the reduction of tissue content of MUC-2, suggesting that the substance is a valid therapeutic strategy to preserve the mucus layer that covers the intestinal epithelium.

Published: August 2018

ABSTRACT Background: Percutaneous drainage for pyogenic liver abscess has been considered the gold-standard approach for the treatment on almost of the cases. However, when percutaneous drainage fails or even in some especial situations, as multiloculate abscess, lobe or segment surgical resection can solve infectious clinical condition. Aim: To report a series of patients who underwent hepatectomy for pyogenic liver abscess performed by a single surgical team. Methods: Eleven patients were operated with ages ranging from 45-73 years (mean and median 66 years). There were eight men and three women. The etiologies were: idiopathic (n=4), biliary (n=2), radiofrequency (n=2), direct extension (n=1), portal (n=1), and arterial (n=1). The mean lesion diameter was 9.27 cm (6-20 cm). Results: The mean operation length was 180 min (120-300). The mean intra-operative blood loss was 448 ml (50-1500). Surgical approaches were: right hepatectomy (n=4), left hepatectomy (n=3), left lateral sectioniectomy (n=1), right posterior sectioniectomy (n=2), resection of S8 (n=1), and S1 (n=1). Postoperative morbidity rate was 30%, while mortality was null. Median hospital stay was 18 days (5-45). The median follow-up period was 49 months (13-78). There was single lesion recurrence. Conclusion: Hepatectomy can be done as exception approach for pyogenic hepatic abscess treatment; it is a good therapeutic option in special situations.

Published: August 2018

Abstract This ecological study used data accumulated between 2001 and 2012 hospital admissions of children under five years of age with asthma in 141 municipalities in the Mato Grosso. Hospital data were extracted from the SIH/SUS system, and hospitalisation rates were estimated using the Bayesian inference method. SaTScan software was used for the calculation of the relative risk (RR). Differences in socioeconomic characteristics among municipalities with high and low hospitalization rates were evaluated by nonparametric Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. This test indicates that municipalities with better socioeconomic characteristics have lower hospitalization rates. The analysis of the linear models in the two study periods indicated that the decreasing trend in the number of admissions was 3-fold higher in the 2005-2012 period compared with the 2001-2004 period. In addition, a decrease of 76% in the hospitalisation incidence rate was observed during the 12-year study period; this decrease was more evident from 2005 onward. The municipalities identified as having increased risk of hospitalisation of children with asthma were located in areas subjected to intense burning practices and with low municipal development indices.

Immune humoral response of young lambs naturally infested by Oestrus ovis (Diptera: Oestridae)
Authors: Silva Bruna Fernanda da , Bassetto César Cristiano , Amarante Alessandro Francisco Talamini do
Published: August 2018

Abstract Twenty-six newborn lambs were evaluated for 21 weeks, from birth to slaughter, to assess their plasma anti-Oestrus ovis immunoglobulin (IgG) using the ELISA technique. On the last day of sampling, all the lambs were slaughtered and O. ovis larvae were recovered, quantified and identified according to the larval stage. High levels of IgG were observed over the first three weeks of life, thus indicating that antibodies are transferred via colostrum from ewes to lambs. Afterwards, the antibody levels declined progressively until the lambs were 11 weeks of age and subsequently started to increase again when they were around 13 weeks of age, reaching the apex on the last week of sampling. All the lambs were parasitized with different larval stages of O. ovis, with an average of 39 larvae per lamb, and the intensity of the infestation ranged from 10 to 97 larvae. However, there was non-significant correlation coefficients between IgG levels and O. ovis larval burden (P > 0.05). In conclusion, although the lambs became infested with O. ovis at an early age, the larval burden was not associated with specific IgG levels.
Analysis of Bm86 conserved epitopes: is a global vaccine against Cattle Tick Rhipicephalus microplus possible?

Published: August 2018

Abstract The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus causes significant economic losses in agribusiness. Control of this tick is achieved mainly through the application of chemical acaricides, often resulting in contamination of animal food products and of the environment. Another major concern associated with acaricide use is the increasing reports of resistance of this tick vector against the active ingredients of many commercial products. An alternative control method is vaccination. However, the commercially available vaccine based on a protein homologous to Bm86 exhibits variations in efficacy relative to the different geographical locations. This study aimed to identify antigenic determinants of the sequences of proteins homologous to Bm86. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to determine the extent of divergence between different populations of R. microplus to identify the sequence that could be used as a universal vaccine against the multiple geographically distinct populations of R. microplus and related tick species. Considering the extensive sequence and functional polymorphism observed among strains of R. microplus from different geographical regions, we can conclude that it may be possible to achieve effective vaccination against these cattle ticks using a single universal Bm86-based antigen.

VACUUM-ASSISTED ASPIRATION BIOPSY: MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT FOR BENIGN BREAST TUMORS (A LITERATURE REVIEW)
Authors: Levchenko K. F. , Baranov A. I.
Published: August 2018

Vacuum-assisted aspiration biopsy (VAB) has been in use for over 20 years. It is an accurate and safe procedure with a sensitivity of 97 %, specificity of 100 %, and accuracy of 99 %. VAB is used for the evaluation of nonpalpable tumors suspicious for breast cancer. Since 2000, VAB is widely used as a therapeutic method for total biopsy or resection of benign breast tumors (breast fibroadenoma, recurrent cysts, and intraductal or intracyctic hyperplasia). Many authors consider VAB as an alternative to standard surgery. VAB demonstrates good results in the minimally invasive treatment of nodular mastopathy. VAB technique is continuously being improved, which indicates the progress in medical science and successful implementation of minimally invasive treatments into clinical practice.
Pharmacoeconomic analysis of using typical and atypical antipsychotics in schizophrenia

Published: August 2018

The aim: to provide a comprehensive pharmacoeconomic evaluation of the maintenance therapy with antipsychotics in outpatients diagnosed with schizophrenia.

Materials and methods. The analysis was conducted by two mutually complementary steps: an epidemiological study on outpatients with schizophrenia, and a subsequent pharmacoeconomic modeling. Two medical technologies were evaluated and compared: treatment with classical antipsychotics (kA) and treatment with atypical antipsychotics (AA). For the clinical and economic analysis of these treatments, we used a number of indices derived from our retrospective study of patients’ medical records. The cost-effectiveness analysis, incremental analysis, and «budget impact» analysis were performed taking into account the direct and indirect costs of the treatments.

Results. We determined the costs of managing outpatients with schizophrenia from the perspective of the healthcare budget and the social burdens; we also looked into the relevance and effectiveness of the current costs at various time intervals – 6, 12 and 24 months. As shown, the treatment strategies involving AA were more budget-consumptive than the kA treatments. even if the treatments were switched to the reproduced AA (up to 100% replacement), the costs would remain to be higher than those for the kA. The «cost-effectiveness» analysis related to «the proportion of stable patients» for the horizons of 6 and 12 months indicated that the reproduced AA would be more economically effective than the kA. However, when the observation period was increased to 24 months, this economic advantage of AA diminished, and the kA drugs had a lower CeR instead. For the «number of hospitalization-free days per year», the use of AA was more cost-effective only versus the 100% use of reproduced AA at the simulated horizon of 12 months. When the use of 100% reference AA or the combined use of reference + reproduced AA was simulated, the treatment with kA remained more economically effective, regardless of the simulated period.

Conclusion. The pharmacoeconomic simulation of the antipsychotic therapy in outpatients with schizophrenia suggests the ways to optimize the treatment. Among them, (a) using AA for the treatment of at least 15.6% of patients (those who are employed); keeping the ≥60% use of kA to ensure the optimal resource-saving effect of the treatment; (b) using reproduced AA at the level of ≥70% (instead of the reference AA similar in efficacy and safety) to keep the treatment economically feasible.

Authors: Margolis A.A.
Published: August 2018

This interview with Arkadiy Margolis, the first vice-rector of MSUPE, focuses on the issues related to the recently acquired membership of the Russian Educational Research Association in the European Educational Research Association (EERA). The Moscow State University of Psychology and Education played an important part in this process which enables Russian researchers to access the entire space of European educational research, to increase their publishing activity, and to participate in foreign international conferences. Also, this means support for young researchers allowing them, for instance, to take part in international schools for young scholars and to acquire new knowledge about modern research tools and design in educational research. All this became possible after a year and a half of hard work of improving ethical requirements and codes of research. MSUPE’s participation in the activities of the Educational Research Association corresponds with the University’s interest in promoting research which became obvious during the development and implementation of the innovative programme of education – the one that won the National Competition for Priority Project in Education all the way back in 2008.

One of the causes of bankruptcy is not due to losess incurred but due to the inability to maintain cashflow availability. This study aims to determine the direct relationship of murabahah and musyarakah financing to Islamic bank liquidity through the NPF ratio. This study is descriptive quantitative study using path analysis and purposive sampling to determine the sample. The results of this study indicate that murabahah financing has no effect on NPF but effect the liquidity of Islamic bank. On the contrary, for musyarakah financing affecting NPF but not for liquidity of Islamic bank. It can be implied that due to differences in risk coverage of the two contract (murabahah financing dan musyarakah financing) where murabahah financing the level of risk that may arise will be more borne by the recipient of  the financing. This contrasts with the musyarakah financing agreement where the risk Non performing loan  can be minimized by sharing the risk in musyarakah financing.However, its relationship with bank liquidity, in fact murabahah financing provides a large contribution considering that islamic bank get certainty about the profit ratio of this financing agreement. As for musyarakah financing, Islamic bank liquidity actually decreases due to uncertainty in the profit sharing ratio it receives. From the result of the intervening test, NPF proxied by the ratio of NPF of Islamic banks did not mediate murabahah financing and musyarakah financing to Islamic bank liquidity.

The Interaction Effect of the Correlation between Dimensions and Item Discrimination on Parameter Estimation
Authors: Göçer Şahin Sakine , Çakıcı Eser Derya , Gelbal Selahattin
Published: August 2018

There are
some studies in the literature that have considered the impact of modeling
multidimensional mixed structured tests as unidimensional. These studies have demonstrated
that the error associated with the discrimination parameters increases as the
correlation between dimensions increases. In this study, the interaction between
items’ angles on coordinate system and the correlations between dimensions was
investigated when estimating multidimensional tests as unidimensional. Data were
simulated based on two dimensional, and two-parameter compensatory MIRT model.
Angles of items were determined as 0.15o; 0.30o; 0.45o; 0.60o and
0.75orespectively. The correlations between
ability parameters were set to 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 and 0.75 respectively,
which are same with the angles of discrimination parameters. The ability
distributions were generated from standard normal, positively and negatively
skewed distributions.  A total of 75 (5 x
5 x 3) conditions were studied: five different conditions for the correlation
between dimensions; five different angles of items and three different ability
distributions. For all conditions, the number of items was fixed at 25 and the
sample size was fixed at n = 2,000.
Item and ability parameter estimation were conducted using BILOG. For each
condition, 100 replications were performed. The RMSE statistic was used to
evaluate parameter estimation errors, when multidimensional response data were scaled
using a unidimensional IRT model. Based on the findings, it can be concluded
that the pattern of RMSE values especially for discrimination parameters are
different from the existing studies in the literature in which multidimensional
tests were estimated as unidimensional.
Accurate projective two-band description of topological superfluidity in spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gases

Published: August 2018

The interplay of spin-orbit coupling and Zeeman splitting in
ultracold Fermi gases gives rise to a topological superfluid phase in
two spatial dimensions that can host exotic Majorana excitations.
Theoretical models have so far been based on a four-band Bogoliubov-de
Gennes formalism for the combined spin-\mathbf{1/2}1/2
and particle-hole degrees of freedom. Here we present a simpler, yet
accurate, two-band description based on a well-controlled projection
technique that provides a new platform for exploring analogies with
chiral p-wave superfluidity and detailed future studies
of spatially non-uniform situations.

The design of the study was experimental, which added the bagasse to the used cooking oil to filtrate the physical and chemical impurities. There were 3 kinds of treatments, i.e. F1 (3% of bagasse), F2 (5% bagasse), F3 (7% bagasse), and control (without bagasse). The characteristics of used cooking oil (control) were: dark brown, rancid odor, having 0,39% of free fatty acid, 12,39 meq/Kg of peroxide value, 35,52% w/w palmitic acid, 35,31 oleic acid, 9,35% w/w linoleic acid, and 3,32% w/w stearic acid. The best treatment taken on the highest yield, organoleptic test, and peroxide number was F1 (3% bagasse), it could reduced free fatty acid and peroxide value become 0,26% and 6,67 mEq/kg. The number of fatty acids from the best treatment were dominated by palmitic acid (33,94% w/w), oleic acid (33,92% w/w), linoleic acid (9,03% w/w) and also had stearic acid (3,21% w/w). The bagasse can significantly reduce the organoleptic properties, the oxidation parameters, and other fatty acids of used oil (P<0,05). So, the bagasse could potentially decrease the oxidation parameters of used cooking oil.

Published: August 2018

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el efecto de una corta, sobre el establecimiento de regeneración en un bosque dominado por Nothofagus obliqua en la cordillera de los Andes de la Región del Maule, después de cuatro años de su aplicación. Fueron establecidos tres ensayos; dos en un bosque cuya cobertura de copa inicial fue de 147% y 89%, quedando después de cuatro años desde la corta con 93% y 60% con la extracción, uno de ellos plano (llamado denso sin pendiente o DsP) y el otro con pendiente suave y exposición SO (DcP). Un tercer ensayo correspondió a un área plana con apenas 10% de cobertura inicial y que no fue intervenido (Asp). Las mayores densidades de regeneración ocurrieron en la zona de bosque plana, con 8332 plantas por hectárea, mientras que en la zona con pendiente se estimó una densidad de 4592 plantas por hectárea. La zona abierta solamente alcanzó 1528 plantas por hectárea. En todos los casos hubo regeneración de especies de diferente tolerancia a la luz y el N. obliqua ocupó un valor relativo de importancia en torno a 50%. Es destacable la presencia de especies del tipo forestal esclerófilo, de las cuales, Cryptocarya alba en particular ocupó un segundo lugar en importancia en el ensayo con pendiente, con casi una cuarta parte del total. Así, estos resultados son un acercamiento para entender como el manejo de la cobertura podría ser una potente herramienta de control de la composición del bosque futuro, a pesar que el período del estudio coincidió con una sequía inusual en el país y que podría haber afectado la densidad medida.

O objetivo do presente artigo é a identificação de formas de resolução de problemas constitucionais comuns à vários ordenamentos jurídicos. Para alcançar o objetivo, o problema de pesquisa apresentado é o seguinte: como proporcionar o diálogo entre cortes em níveis múltiplos sobre questões jurídicas que envolvem direitos fundamentais e humanos e se apresentam a diversos ordenamentos jurídicos? A hipótese de pesquisa apresentada é tese transconstitucional, de Marcelo Neves, como forma de diálogo entre os vários discursos jurídicos que se apresentam face a uma problemática constitucional comum, mediando uma solução adequada que observe e assegure as diferenças. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi o hipotético-dedutivo, e as técnicas utilizadas foram a de pesquisa bibliográ-fica e documental, fichamentos, categorias e conceitos operacionais. As principais conclusões que podem ser observadas é que os modelos consti-tucionais fechados não são aptos a enfrentar os problemas globais sozi-nhos, além de que o Transconstitucionalismo se mostra um método apto a promover o diálogo entre os ordenamentos jurídicos na busca de reso-lução de problemas que se apresentam a diversas ordens jurídicas.

Hoje, o uso de recursos tecnológicos é compreendido como atividade corriqueira, tanto no processo de ensino da Matemática quanto nas atividades profissionais dos engenheiros. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar as concepções de sessenta e nove alunos, estudantes de engenharia que participaram de avaliações referentes a uma proposta de atividades para calcular derivadas e integrais, utilizando a calculadora gráfica HP 50G. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, e os dados foram coletados após o desenvolvimento de atividades em aulas de Cálculo I, Cálculo II e uma oficina, por meio de um questionário que continha quatro questões. A análise dos dados seguiu os passos da análise textual discursiva. As respostas obtidas foram analisadas e delas emergiram duas categorias: potencialidade da calculadora na resolução de derivadas e integrais e melhorias a serem implementadas nos tutoriais. Os alunos mencionaram que a calculadora apresenta diferentes possibilidades e potencialidades, tais como: agilidade, facilidade, precisão, menor complexidade nos cálculos, estímulo ao interesse, estabelecimento de relações entre a calculadora gráfica e a vida profissional do engenheiro. Como sugestão de melhorias, os discentes propuseram a inclusão de situações-problema do cotidiano dos engenheiros e a exploração das diversas funcionalidades do recurso digital.
Thermo-Structural Analysis of First Stage Gas Turbine Rotor Blade Materials for Optimum Service Performance

Published: August 2018

During gas
turbine operation, the vibration that occurs at high speed, hot gases entering
the combustion chamber and other operational factors affect the longevity of
gas turbine blade. This paper is focused on the
selection of suitable materials that can withstand the severe working condition
and thermo-structural
analysis using Finite Element method (FEM) to determine the behaviour of each material under service
condition. Cambridge Engineering Software (CES) was employed in the material
selection process where GTD111, U500 and IN 738 were identified prior to
analyzing U500 and IN 738 due to desired mechanical properties over GTD111.
Employing ANSYS R15.0 in the steady
state thermal analysis, maximum service temperature of 736.49oC
and maximum Total heat
flux of 4.345x105 W/m2 was obtained for IN 738 material while maximum service
temperature of 728.29oC and maximum Total heat flux of 4.1746x105 W/m2
was obtained for U500 blade
material. For structural static analysis, maximum von-mises stress of 454 MPa
and total deformation of 0.16221 obtained for IN 738 while maximum von-mises
stress of 416 MPa and total deformation of 0.12125 was obtained for U500 blade material. While the FEA
analytical results for both materials exhibited less variations between each
other, IN 738 displayed better thermal characteristics, whereas, U500 presented
satisfactory structural static results and above all, von-mises stresses
obtained for both materials was below their yield strength and melting
temperature. Hence, gas turbine blade materials should be assessed thoroughly
for structural and thermal conditions before manufacturing.
The fundamentalist phenomenon: social and philosophic analysis
Authors:   Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Volobuev Aleksey Viktorovich ,   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia
Published: August 2018

The study considers the phenomenon of fundamentalism as an essential part of the modern globalized social and political system. The historic notion of fundamentalism appeared in hermeneutics and had been highly specialized defined as the literal interpretation of the religious text. Having engendered as an opposition between religious modernization and liberalization in terms of American Protestantism, fundamentalism quickly became the significant social and political force. Fundamentalism reached its negative peak when the Islamic State had been created (illegal in Russia). At the same time, the fundamentalist issue is not limited to religious extremism, i.e. nowadays, there is a set of forms of this complex phenomenon, including ethnic and religious, market and even feminist fundamentalism. The fundamental bases of this phenomenon and its multifaceted nature are analyzed. The focus is on the Tea Party movement (the United States) that exemplifies the political fundamentalist movement. It is concluded that fundamentalism is a form of ideology and worldview that is not restricted to the religious field and is subject to the comprehensive and multidimensional analysis.
The First Division of the Black Sea Coastline on the eve of the Crimean (Eastern) War
Authors:   Kuban State University, Shapovalov Sergey Nikolayevich
Published: August 2018

The study described the situation of the First Division of the Black Sea Coastline created after the successful Russo-Turkish war of 1828–1829 and consisted of former Turkish fortifications passed to the Russian Empire according to the Treaty of Adrianople as well as built by Russian troops as a result of successful landing operations in the 1830s. The paper discussed the status of fortresses, fortifications and forts that were a part of the First Division of the Black Sea Coastline led by Major General A.O. Debu on the eve of the Crimean (Eastern) War. The research elaborated on such indicators of the coastline’s defense capacity as the number of different ranks in garrisons and overall characteristics of artillery in fortresses, fortifications, forts and villages in Kuban region. The author concluded that there was the staff shortage in garrisons of the First Division of Black Sea Coastline in the pre-war period as the troops had not been reinforced, and the redeployment of military personnel from one fortification to another solved this problem for a while.
The perception of Russian history in joking practices of political anecdotes
Authors:   Russian Open Academy of Transport,  Russian University of Transport, Blonsky Leonid Vladimirovich
Published: August 2018

The study discusses the several aspects of the perception of the relevant historical events in the pre-revolutionary and Soviet society through the prism of joking culture of anecdotes. Being one of the most popular and common forms of oral folklore, anecdote allowed the Russian man to criticize the negative trends in the development of the Russian state in terms of censorship. Before the revolutionary events of 1917, the anecdote was mainly considered as a short instructive story of the life of Russian monarchs and their families. As a rule, the emphasis was placed on the edifying sense of the story in the end of such an anecdote. During the Soviet period, the anecdote became a kind of political protest against the imperfect totalitarian system in the absence of civil society institutions. The study results demonstrate that at different stages of state development the meaning and ethical message of the political and historical anecdote has changed.
Concerning the ethnic self-consciousness and forms of its expression in the modern world
Authors:   Dagestan State University of  National Economy, Manapova Violetta Eldarovna
Published: August 2018

The paper deals with the problem of ethnic self-consciousness and its structure. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that ethnic stereotypes as the basis of ethnic self-consciousness are stable and firm at the everyday level. The stereotypical views on “us” and “them” still exist in proverbs and sayings that are often a barrier to intercultural dialogue. At the same time, ethnic stereotypes allow one to adapt to changes in the environment and reduce the uncertain existence. The study focuses on the ethnic self-consciousness and its structure at the everyday level; the ethnic myths are the scope of research. The ethnic self-consciousness is a unique worldview that reflects the attitude towards one’s own ethnic group compared to the others. The research emphasizes that ethnic stereotypes contain information about the ethnic group of the author rather than the ethnic group of the character. The representatives of other cultures are always marked, it is a “demarcation line”. In this case, one’s own “space” is always “safe”, “cultural” while the social and cultural space of other ethnic groups is “dangerous”, “strange”, and “hostile”. In such mythologemes, other ethnic groups have negative features, and hatred towards “foreigners” can lead to the idea of messianism and ethnic exclusiveness. The paper highlights the myths about autochthony and bearing culture that provoke conflicts because these myths distort historical facts. Under the influence of globalization and unification, there is a unique situation entitled globalization paradox that leads to the oblivion of ethnic traditions and languages and the growth of ethnic self-consciousness.
Amechania as an existential a priori and a prerequisite for human life experience
Authors:   State Agricultural Academy of Velikie Luki, Timofeeva Nelli Viktorovna
Published: August 2018

Based on existential a priori structures, the research demonstrates the possibility of particular sciences to hold a dialogue with the philosophical ideas that leads to their further evolution and gives the philosophical ideas the opportunity to comprehend the phenomena of interest to it. The research focuses on the specific features of a philosophical approach to interpreting the term ‘existential a priori’ developed by L. Binswanger. In the author’s opinion, amechania can be regarded as an a priori structure that constitutes the human life experience. The notion of amechania as treated by M.K. Mamardashvili, A.V. Akhutin, V.V. Bibikhin is analysed as well. The relevance of the study is postulated by the ongoing discussions about the relationship between philosophy and particular sciences both in the historical and modern terms.
Desigualdades y justicia social: informe Desigualdades en México 2018
Authors: Ugalde Vicente
Published: August 2018

En una época en la que es difícil sustraerse al discurso de “las políticas basadas en evidencia” y en un ambiente marcado por el cierre de las campañas electorales, y con ello de cierta saturación de mensajes en el espacio público, El Colegio de México presentó, en junio pasado, el informe Desigualdades en México 2018. Aunque sus páginas no presentan recomendaciones de política, el informe tiene el propósito manifiesto de alimentar la discusión pública y “las plataformas de los candidatos en las elecciones presidenciales de 2018”. Elaborado a partir de los trabajos que, de tiempo atrás y desde diversas disciplinas científicas, desarrollan investigadores de este centro de enseñanza e investigación, el informe constituye una suerte de libro blanco que presenta algunas expresiones concretas de la desigualdad en México, entre 2000 y 2017, y con ello conforma un diagnóstico amplio y ambicioso de ese problema social.
