Narrow-Band Least-Squares Infrasound Array Processing
Authors: Iezzi Alexandra M. , Matoza Robin S. , Bishop Jordan W. , Bhetanabhotla Sneha , Fee David
Published: June 2022

Infrasound data from arrays can be used to detect, locate, and quantify a variety of natural and anthropogenic sources from local to remote distances. However, many array processing methods use a single broad frequency range to process the data, which can lead to signals of interest being missed due to the choice of frequency limits or simultaneous clutter sources. We introduce a new open-source Python code that processes infrasound array data in multiple sequential narrow frequency bands using the least-squares approach. We test our algorithm on a few examples of natural sources (volcanic eruptions, mass movements, and bolides) for a variety of array configurations. Our method reduces the need to choose frequency limits for processing, which may result in missed signals, and it is parallelized to decrease the computational burden. Improvements of our narrow-band least-squares algorithm over broad-band least-squares processing include the ability to distinguish between multiple simultaneous sources if distinct in their frequency content (e.g., microbarom or surf vs. volcanic eruption), the ability to track changes in frequency content of a signal through time, and a decreased need to fine-tune frequency limits for processing. We incorporate a measure of planarity of the wavefield across the array (sigma tau, στ) as well as the ability to utilize the robust least trimmed squares algorithm to improve signal processing and insight into array performance. Our implementation allows for more detailed characterization of infrasound signals recorded at arrays that can improve monitoring and enhance research capabilities.

The Imperial Valley is a seismically active basin occupying the southern end of the Salton trough, an area of rapid extension, high heat flow, and abundant geothermal resources. This report describes an ongoing large-scale distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) recording study acquiring high-density seismic data on an array between Calipatria and Imperial, California. This 27 km array, operating on dark fiber since 9 November 2020, has recorded a wealth of local seismic events as well as ambient noise. The goal of the broader Imperial Valley Dark Fiber project is to evaluate passive DAS as a tool for geothermal exploration and monitoring. This report is intended to provide installation information, noise characteristics, and metadata for future studies utilizing the data set. Because of the relatively small number of basin-scale DAS studies that have been conducted to date, we also provide a range of lessons learned during the deployment to assist future researchers exploring this acquisition strategy.
Tsunami Early Warning of the Hunga Volcanic Eruption Using an Ocean Floor Observation Network Off the Japanese Islands
Authors: Wang Yuchen , Imai Kentaro , Kusumoto Satoshi , Takahashi Narumi
Published: June 2022

On 15 January 2022, an eruption of Hunga volcano generated an air-coupled tsunami that propagated across the Pacific Ocean. The tsunami reached Japan approximately 7 hr after the eruption and was recorded by coastal and offshore stations. We conducted a retroactive study of tsunami early warning using a data assimilation approach. We assimilated water pressure records of 44 offshore bottom pressure gauges (OBPGs) off the Japanese Islands after the volcanic eruption and forecasted tsunamis on the Shikoku Island and the Kii peninsula. The tsunami waveforms at 12 points of interest (i.e., coastal and near-coast stations) were predicted using a data assimilation approach at 15:00 (UTC) with forecast accuracy of 97%. Moreover, we discussed the effects of air-pressure variations generated by the volcanic eruption. The results showed that air-pressure variations had negligible effect on the assimilation results. This is the first time that data assimilation approach was applied to a nonseismic tsunami event for early warning. Our study indicates that data assimilation approach plays an important role in tsunami hazard mitigation. Early warnings of nonseismogenic tsunamis can be successfully achieved by assimilating offshore water pressure records of OBPGs.
Exploring the effect of atrazine exposure on the reproductive capacity of Daphnia magna
Authors: Christoff-Johan Lee , Nikko-Johan Lee
Published: June 2022

Atrazine is an herbicide commonly used for weed control in crops and on turf, but environmental contamination with atrazine causes endocrine disruption leading to reproductive defects in humans and freshwater organisms. The molecular and cellular mechanisms causing these reproductive deficiencies remain largely unknown. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the reproductive consequence of atrazine exposure at the molecular and cellular level in the freshwater planktonic crustacean, Daphnia magna. Results show that exposure of D. magna to high atrazine concentration of 1000 or 2000 μg/L reduced the number of the first set of offspring born at least 5 days after atrazine exposure. D. magna exposed to these atrazine concentrations exhibited DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation and fragmentation in the ovaries, and caspase-3 protein activation in both the ovaries and embryos in the brood chamber. No obvious DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation and fragmentation, or caspase-3 activation was seen in other tissues. These findings suggest that high environmental concentrations of atrazine specifically induce apoptosis in reproductive tissues, which could account for the decline in the number of offspring in D. magna exposed to high concentrations of atrazine.
Responsibility Accounting: A Control Tool for Management
Authors: Khatun Mosammat Fahima
Published: June 2022

Large organizations are segmented for the sake of effective managerial control. These segments are responsibility centers. The individual in charge of a segment has been assigned authority and responsibility to control his or her responsibility center. But the extent of controllability depends on various technical and behavioral aspects. The objective of goal congruence and success of the organization as a whole depends on the proper coordination among various responsibility centers and the consideration of various behavioral aspects related to the problem. Lean enterprise concepts only can be applicable ensuring proper communication and coordination between responsibility centers. Responsibility accounting is practiced somewhat satisfactorily at profitable enterprises in Bangladesh.

Intellectual Capital Disclosure by the Listed Fuel & Power and Engineering Firms in Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Md. Mahabbat
Published: June 2022

The main objective of this study is to measure the level of intellectual capital (IC) disclosure practices by listed fuel & power and engineering companies in Bangladesh. Like physical assets, IC assets are also important for any organization. IC ensures the utilization of physical assets effectively and efficiently. Intellectual capital includes structural capital, relationship capital, and human capital. Having quality IC is the prerequisite for the smooth operation of an organization. But these important assets are not reported in the financial statement sufficiently or this information is not communicated to the stakeholders properly. The entity can enjoy competitive advantages in disseminating information regarding IC and stakeholders may make pragmatic decisions on the basis of this information as well. The profitability, potentiality, and sustainability of the organization may also depend on the quality of IC. The content analysis method is used in this study. An unweighted disclosure index, with 37 IC items, has been developed. The sample covers 80% of firms in the fuel & power and engineering industries. As a source of data, the corporate annual reports of the companies for the year 2007-2008 or 2008 were used in this study. Out of required items, average disclosure scores of human capital, structural capital and relationship capital are 37.94%, 64.81%, and 60.19% respectively. So, the average disclosure score of the sample complaints is 49.89%. The regression results show that the proportion of independent directors, the proportion of audit committee members, and market capitalization are influencing factors to disclose IC items in the annual reports.
An Analysis of Core Factors Contributing U.S – China Trade Imbalance
Authors: Ahmed Khalid , Long Wei
Published: June 2022

This paper aims to highlight the trade imbalance between the United States and China based on the analysis of core factors contributing to the imbalance. These factors are comprised of trade inequality, exchange rate issues, differences in the basic economic structure of both countries, and the methodology of calculating trade figures. This paper also highlights where both the countries differ in their point of view on their bilateral trade and why? Without a doubt, this imbalance leads the United States to face a huge deficit and China to enjoy a giant surplus in mutual trade. Now, how can we adjust the figures and narrow down the differences? The paper is also discussing the other issues which have reasonable implications for the U.S -China's trade relations. It also enumerates the future consequences on their bilateral trade keeping in view the current scenario. The importance of this paper is further enhanced as the trade imbalance is also counted as one of the factors of the 2008 recession which is not yet fully over because there is a very slow recovery in developed countries and relatively faster in developing countries. The analysis is based on the U.S trade data from 2001 to 2010.

Published: June 2022

Measuring and managing customer experience is increasingly becoming a priority in the experience-laden hospitality context. With the growing desire of consumers for living more authentic experiences, the collaborative consumption (CC) model has gained significant popularity in this industry. However, to date, the underlying structure of customer experience in a hospitality CC context has not been uncovered and a generalizable quantitative measure is yet to be developed. To fill this gap, this research aims to develop and validate a scale for measuring customer experience in a hospitality CC context. Based on a sample collected from Airbnb customers, results yield a 17-item ﬁve-dimensional scale (Platform brand experience, Accommodation sensory experience, Social experience with the host, Platform responsive capacity, and Quality of interaction with the host). This work demonstrates that providing an excellent customer experience in a CC context stems from a customer-centred approach from all the involved parties. Theoretical and managerial implications are also presented, along with relevant research avenues.
Social Media Data Analytics for Marketing Strategies
Authors: Benslama Teissir , Jallouli Rim
Published: June 2022

The analysis of social media data to extract new insights has attracted much attention, especially in the field of Marketing. Few researchers, however, have studied both the concepts of Social Media Data Analytics (SMDA) and Marketing Strategies. Previous publications have only focused on a particular technique or a well-defined Marketing Strategy in a specific context. To address this gap, this paper aims to explore how Social Media Data Analytics can guide and affect Marketing Strategies, and provide an overview of the range of Social Media Data Analytics techniques related to Marketing Strategies. We conducted a systematic review of 120 papers published between 2015 and 2021 on SMDA in Marketing. The findings are presented in terms of the main social media platforms, publication date, journal quality, social media data types, analytical techniques, fields of application, firm size, and related Marketing Strategies. The SMDA techniques are classified into six categories: Sentiment Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, Data Mining, Statistics, Coding and Modelling, and Simulation. A set of detailed Marketing Strategies guided by SMDA are also presented, as well as an integrative framework mapping how SMDA creates value. The results highlight several SMDA techniques that still lack exploration and outline their relevance.
Secure Attendance System using Raspberry Pi Face Recognition
Authors: Bin Hamed Rhouma , Fatnassi Tarek
Published: June 2022

This study aims to develop a machine-learning-based attendance management system using face recognition and Raspberry Pi. The proposed system is composed of two main subsystems. The first is a Raspberry Pi, to be installed in each class, and the second is a web application fed by data from the Raspberry Pi. To take attendance, an instructor commands a Raspberry Pi camera through a web-based subsystem. Then, the camera takes a picture of the whole class and detects faces using trained Haar Cascades. It sends back a file with the class picture and Cartesian coordinates of the detected faces. The web application parses the file, looking for the coordinates of faces. For each Region of Interest, it uses the Support Vector Machine algorithm to recognize faces based on their HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients) features. The recognizer uses a pre-built dataset of that particular class containing the students’ personal photos, names and ID numbers. Features of each face were extracted using HOG and trained to construct the model over a given class of students. Once every detected face is recognized, the application generates a report for the instructor showing the list of students’ names and attendance status.
Fallen into the Chasm: Exploring Mobile Payment Failed Initiative in Lebanon
Authors: Alsaghir Loubna
Published: June 2022

Several years after introducing the mobile payment service to the Lebanese market, it is clear that the new payment method has failed to take off, which brings up questions about the reasons behind these unmet expectations. The current paper uses the Technology-Organization-Environment framework to explore the factors with respect to its three pillars that could have prevented the diffusion of mobile payment into the market. Using a qualitative approach of multiple case studies, the findings suggest that the reasons for the low diffusion of mobile banking lies as much in the incompatible nor open technology as in the highly competitive organizational structure of the banking industry and, finally, the merchants’ and consumers’ unwillingness to adopt it.

Migraine and zinc deficiency in women - A mini review
Authors: Sultana Pinky
Published: June 2022

Migraine is a frequently occurring multifactorial neurovascular disorder affecting over a billion people globally. Migraine load is distinctive concerning gender, i.e. it is more severe in women and has a prolonged healing period. People with migraine have a primary headache disorder, a public health concern in low and middle-income countries.

Studies have shown that brainstem regions and the trigeminovascular pathway are linked to the migraine attack's symptomatology. The episode is mediated by the release of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP). It is a widely expressed neuropeptide with a sole role in sensory neurotransmission. Treatment of migraine remains underdiagnosed; its frequency and intensity are poorly understood. Although patients consume the antagonists of CGRP, migraine still prevails heavily in women. Dietary factors are often considered migraine triggers. One such dietary factor is Zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency is mainly observed in women with poor dietary intake in rural and sub-rural areas of India. Recently Zinc has been shown to play a role in migraine disorders. This review briefly summarizes how supplementary Zinc may be a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome migraine pain.

Authors: Vishalakshy Divya Purushothaman , Nayar Bindu Radhakrishnan , Radhakrishnan Rekha Parappurathu , Ramesh Roshni , Raghunathan Dhanya
Published: June 2022

Medical students are considered to be representative of the educated, influential and motivated class of individuals and are considered to have a better perception and realization of maintaining oral health when compared to general population. Hence the present study aims to assess the periodontal health practices and awareness among medical professional students. This cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students and interns of Govt Medical College Thrissur using an online proforma and analysis done using SPSS. A statistically significant association was noted between gender and periodontal health practices and also between periodontal health awareness and year of study and posting category. Interns were 2.56 times more aware of periodontal health than students with a p value ˂ 0.01. Clinical students were 2.4 times more aware of periodontal health than preclinical students with a p value ˂ 0.01. Statistically significant mild positive correlation was observed between age and periodontal health awareness with Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.379 and a mild negative, statistically non-significant correlation was observed between age and periodontal health practice. There is a need to further educate and motivate medical students on oral and periodontal health practice so that it improves the future efforts of medical professionals in contributing to oral health as they are often the first contact for patients.
Subsidios al transporte público en América Latina desde una perspectiva de eficiencia: aplicación a Bogotá, Colombia
Authors: Gómez Julián , Mojica Carlos
Published: June 2022

Este estudio busca evaluar el nivel de subsidio al transporte público que puede ser justicado desde una perspectiva de eficiencia en ciudades latinoamericanas. En una aplicación específica para Bogotá, Colombia, encontramos que altos niveles de subsidio solo se pueden justicar si la agencia de transporte público responde a aumentos en la demanda con aumentos casi proporcionales en la oferta de servicios. De lo contrario, el costo generado por un mayor hacinamiento en los buses supera los beneficios por reducción de tiempos de espera (efecto Mohring) y externalidades (congestión es la principal externalidad). Adicionalmente, una revisión de literatura identifica áreas en las que son necesarios estudios empíricos adicionales en la región para mejorar la calidad de los análisis de tarificación óptima en transporte. Estas áreas incluyen: 1) el efecto marginal de vehículos en congestión, 2) la elasticidad cruzada de las tarifas de transporte público al uso de vehículos particulares; y 3) el efecto de los precios de transporte en el mercado laboral.
Innovación como estrategia de resiliencia durante la crisis por COVID-19
Authors: Pedroni Florencia
Published: June 2022

La innovación constituye un mecanismo estratégico de adaptación y representa un factor clave para la resiliencia organizacional de las empresas, en especial, de las pequeñas. Dada la importancia de la innovación y la resiliencia en la supervivencia de las firmas, el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo describir los tipos de innovación adoptados por micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (mipymes) comerciales argentinas ante la crisis causada por la pandemia, a partir de la percepción de empresarios y contadores públicos. Metodológicamente, se desarrolla una investigación cualitativa de alcance exploratorio-descriptivo. Se efectúan 16 entrevistas semiestructuradas (Bahía Blanca, Argentina) y sobre los datos recolectados se realiza un análisis de contenido, combinando codificación deductiva e inductiva. Los resultados revelan una aceleración del proceso de digitalización de las mipymes y demuestran que la plataformización es transversal a los distintos tipos de innovaciones identificados. Esto es, redes sociales y tiendas virtuales como formas de comercialización, aplicaciones de envíos en innovaciones de proceso y billeteras electrónicas dentro de los cambios relevantes en aspectos de organización. Según los hallazgos, las innovaciones fueron de menor alcance en las empresas más pequeñas y ciertas características de los empresarios actuaron como facilitadores de los cambios (espíritu emprendedor, juventud, tiempo libre).

İsa Mesih’in Çarmıhtaki Yaraları: Hıristiyanlıkta Stigmata Anlayışının Tarihsel Gelişimi ve Türleri
Authors: SÖNMEZ Zekiye
Published: June 2022

Kafasında dikenli taç, el ve ayaklarında çiviler ve göğsündeki mızrak yarasıyla Haça Gerilmiş Nasıralı İsa Mesih, Hıristiyanları yüzlerce yıldır meşgul etmiş ve etmeye de devam etmektedir. Bütün Hıristiyan inancı, sembolleştirilen bu olay ya da “günahkâr insanlığın kurtuluşu” için kendisini çarmıhta feda eden İsa merkezinde dönmektedir. Bu çerçevede Hıristiyanlar, her insanın, “model kurtarıcı” olarak Mesih’in hayatını taklit etmesi, özellikle çarmıhtaki yaralarını ve ıstırabını aynen yaşaması gerektiğine inanmaktadır. Bedeninde Mesih’in yara izlerini taşıdığını söyleyen ilk kişi Pavlus olmuştur. Onu, Asissili Francis ve diğerleri takip etmiş ve onlar stigmatikler/stigmata taşıyanlar olarak kabul edilmiştir. Ülkemizde, İsa hakkında çok sayıda çalışma yapılmış olmasına rağmen, stigmata konusuyla ilgili herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bundan dolayı bu makalede; İsa Mesih’in çarmıhtaki yara izlerinin, inananların bedeninde taşınması bağlamında stigmata anlayışının ortaya çıkışı, tarihsel gelişimi, Orta Çağ’daki algı biçimleriyle Pavlus ve Assisili Francis’in stigmataları ele alınacaktır. Böylece stigmata anlayışının, Hıristiyan dünyasındaki gelişimi ve ne kadar etkili olduğu ortaya konulmaya çalışılacaktır.
Kur’an’da el-Cin Kavramının Medlulü Hakkındaki İhtilaflar
Authors: DEMİRCİGİL Bayram
Published: June 2022

Kur’an’da çokanlamlı lafızların medlulünün tespitinde müfessirler arasında çeşitli görüşler ortaya çıkmıştır. Kur’an’da hangi anlama geldiği hususunda ihtilaf edilen çokanlamlı kelimelerden birisi de el-cin lafzıdır. Bu husustaki düşünce farklılığı kelimenin yalın olarak yer aldığı ayetlerde söz konusu olmuştur. Kelimenin eşdizimli kullanımları, bağlamını da açığa vurduğundan herhangi bir anlam ihtilafına mahal bırakmamıştır. Buna karşın yalın hâldeki kullanımlarda muhtelif bağlamsal yaklaşımlara müsait bir zeminin varlığı kelimeye müfessirlerce cinler, melekler, İblis ve şeytanlar gibi muhtelif anlamların yüklenmesine yol açmıştır. Bu konu cinler ve melekler arasında kategorik bir ayrımın yapılıp yapılamayacağı meselesini ve beraberinde meleklerin masum varlıklar olup olmadığı hususundaki kelâmî tartışmayı gündeme getirmiştir. Müfessirlerin çokanlamlı bu kelimeyi ele alırken az çok bağlamsal çizgide hareket ettikleri; siyak-sibak, ayetler arasındaki münasebet, tarihi ve kültürel bağlamla ilgili rivayetler gibi hususları dikkate aldıkları gözlenmektedir. Bu noktada kelimenin etimolojik kökeninin de anlam takdirinde tayin edici unsurlardan biri olduğu müşahede edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Câhiliye Arapları’nın cin ve melek algısından söz edilmiş, ardından klasik sözlüklerden yararlanılarak tefsirlerde bu husustaki yaklaşımların dayandığı dilsel zemine ve rivayetlere değinilmiştir. Konuyla ilgili müfessirlerin ilgili ayetler hakkında muhtelif bağlamsal yaklaşımları esas aldıkları tespit edilmiştir.
Yeni Çağ İnanışlarının Çeşitli Değişkenlerle İlişkisi Üzerine Bir Araştırma: Bursa Örneği

Published: June 2022

Bu araştırmanın konusunu bireysel dindarlık olarak değerlendirilebilen yeni çağ inanışları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı ise yeni çağ inanışlarının bireylerin dini bilgi ve dindarlık düzeyi ile ilişkisini ölçmektir. Bilindiği üzere klasik sekülerleşme kuramcıları modernleşme süreci ile dini, mitolojik ve benzeri doğaüstücü yapıların tedrici olarak önemini yitireceğini öngörmüştür. Buna göre din sadece toplumsal kurumlar üzerindeki belirleyici etkisini kaybetmeyip, aynı zamanda bireyin yaşamından da önemli ölçüde çekilecektir. Ancak müesses dinin (post)modern toplumlarda göreceli olarak geçmişe nazaran yaşama yön verme noktasında belirleyici rolünü yitirdiyse de hala önemli bir toplumsal kurum olarak farklı biçimlerde varlığını sürdürdüğü söylenebilir. Bir başka deyişle, kurumsal dinin zayıfladığı toplumlarda dinselliğin farklı biçimlere büründüğü ifade edilebilir. Bu bağlamda, 1960 sonrasında Batı toplumlarında yeni dinsellik formlarının ortaya çıktığı görülmektedir. Sosyolojik araştırma geleneğinde bahsi geçen dinsellik formlarını tanımlamak için yeni dinler, yeni dini hareketler, yeni çağ hareketi veya yeni çağ maneviyatı gibi kavramlar ortaya atılmıştır. Modernleşen ülkemizde de benzer dinsel yapıların görünürlük kazanmaya başladığı tespit edilmektedir. Konu sosyal bilimin pek çok alt disiplininde farklı açılardan araştırılmaktadır. Bu çerçevede nicel desende tasarlanan mevcut araştırma Bursa’da okuyan 382 üniversite öğrencisi ile yapılmıştır. Araştırmada dine öznel önem verme ile yeni çağ inanışları arasında negatif yönlü bir korelasyon bulunmuştur.
Usługi biznesowe oparte na wiedzy. Wpływ na konkurencyjność gospodarki na przykładzie wybranych krajów Unii Europejskiej

According to the three-sector model of economic growth, the development of a service economy is envisioned as a result of increasing consumer demand for various services, together with growing GDP per capita. However, technological progress has contributed to the structural transformation of economies based on knowledge, innovation and new technologies, which has been accompanied by increasing demand for services supporting production processes, in particular those related to new technologies and knowledge. As a result the dynamic development of a group of services called ‘knowledge-intensive business services’ (KIBS) can be observed, and they have become the main driving force behind the shift to the new service economy. A review of the literature demonstrates the growing interest in KIBS and their contribution to productivity growth and innovativeness. However, the research to date has explored these issues in a fragmented way, i.e. they have focused either on their impact on productivity or innovation performance, and in addition the ones referring to innovation are all based on micro data (for a given branch or group of branches, usually in one country). The present paper fills this gap, because it is the first comprehensive examination of the impact of KIBS on the competitiveness of different sectors that use these services in their business processes and on the competitiveness of the entire economy resulting from their impact on productivity and innovation. Due to the variety of definitions of KIBS used in the previous studies, this paper compares the impact resulting from KIBS usage in reference to both the broad and narrow definitions of KIBS thereof. The research also examines the relation between the intensity of KIBS usage within a domestic economy and the international competitiveness of its KIBS sector. It is also the first work in this field relating to the Polish economy, and the first one to compare the importance of KIBS for the development of the service economy, as well as the contribution of KIBS to the competitiveness of two groups of the EU countries which are at different levels of economic development: (1) Finland, Germany, Great Britain and Ireland – countries regarded as among the most competitive or most advanced in the development of a service economy in the EU; and (2) Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – the Visegrad countries, which have undergone a similar path of transformation and integration with the EU. Studies conducted in the paper are based on data for each country coming from the same source (WIOD database, OECD STAN Database, WTO database, Eurostat Database), which ensures their comparability between countries. All studies are preceded by detailed theoretical foundations.

Background: Transcutaneous transhepatic endobiliary forceps biopsy is an accepted method for verification of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, but its sensitivity ranges from zero to 94%. In the recent years, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been actively used to diagnose malignancies.
Aim: To assess diagnostic accuracy of the OCT-assisted intraductal forceps biopsy in patients with Klatskin tumor.
Materials and methods: From 2013 to 2021, 161 patients with preliminary diagnosis of Klatskin tumor were seen in Russian Scientific Center of Radiology and Surgical Technologies named after Academician A.M. Granov. The retrospective study included 48 patients and 51 procedures of the forceps biopsy. In 14 (29%) patients of the main study group, the biopsy procedure was performed with OCT assistance, whereas the control group (34 patients, 71%) had their biopsies without the OCT.
Results: All procedures were technically successful. In the main and in the control study groups, sensitivity was 92.3% versus 73.3% (p = 0.32) and specificity 100% versus 85.7% (p = 0.88), respectively. Malignant neoplasm of the biliary tract was found in 13 cases versus 23 in the control group, with the degree of the tumor differentiation being determined in 64.3% (n = 9), versus 48.7% (n = 18) (p = 0.89), respectively. There were no adverse events associated with OCT and biopsy sampling in the main study group. In the control group, 4/37 procedures (10.8%) were associated with hemobilia, which was successfully treated conservatively within 24 hours without any prolongation of the hospital stay.
Conclusion: Our preliminary results indicate that antegrade endobiliary forceps biopsy is a safe and informative technique. The OCT navigation increases the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis. This allows for a personalized choice of chemotherapy. OCT is a promising technique for differential diagnosis of Klatskin tumor from benign biliary strictures. Further large-scale studies are required to introduce it into everyday practice.
Territorios sustentables: legitimando la conservación en reservas de biosfera
Authors: Zalles Jorje I.
Published: June 2022

Las reservas de biosfera constituyen una propuesta de manejo que aspira reconciliar múltiples tipos de uso de suelo en una superficie representativa de la diversidad ecológica y cultural del planeta. Entre sus objetivos está precautelar la integridad ecológica de áreas núcleo dedicadas a la conservación, lo cual en definitiva implica considerar los requerimientos de las poblaciones humanas que albergan. Este ensayo postula que para legitimar la conservación en reservas de biosfera es necesario lograr la activación de dos procesos distintivos: sustentabilidad y territorialización. En otras palabras, las reservas de biosfera deben ser consideradas como territorios sustentables si han de servir sus propósitos conservacionistas. En este caso, la sustentabilidad ambiental se logra asegurando la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos mediante el establecimiento de paisajes multifuncionales, mientras que la sustentabilidad social implica la institucionalización de procesos sociales. Además, se debe consolidar la apropiación territorial de las reservas por parte de sus habitantes. Al lograrse conjuntamente, la sustentabilidad ambiental, la sustentabilidad social y la apropiación territorial permitirían que las reservas de biosfera se puedan convertir en territorios sustentables, apuntalando de esa manera sus funciones de conservación de la naturaleza.

Estado e industrialización en el Ecuador, 1948-2021
Authors: Creamer Guillén Claudio Alonso
Published: June 2022

Exposición de los antecedentes históricos de la industria ecuatoriana de 1920 a 1948, el desarrollismo incorporado entre 1948 y 1960 y el Estado desarrollista de 1960 a 1972, orientados a una política industrial cepalina, que fue profundizada en el primer auge petrolero (1972-1981). Entre 1982 y 2006, con la crisis de la deuda externa, se desmanteló la política industrial de sustitución de importaciones y se fomentó un modelo exportador. En los períodos de Correa (2007-2017) se formuló una política industrial neodesarrollista, orientada a cambiar la matriz productiva en el segundo auge petrolero (2004-2014). El gobierno de Moreno (exvice-presidente de Correa), de 2017 a 2021, modificó el modelo económico hacia una economía de mercado.
