Authors:   Midwifery Master’s Degree Program, Medical Faculty, Universitas Brawijaya, Malang, Indonesia, Jannah Fauqo
Published: October 2022

Background: Postpartum blues is one type of psychological distress. It can happen when a mother fails in taking in phase. It is a normal peripartum occurrence after delivery. Postpartum blues is usually characterized by several clinical symptoms such as irritability, anxiety, fluctuating mood, etc. Early identification can help in proper treatment. Objective: To identify postpartum blues condition and understand the referral system for maternal problems. Methods: This is a qualitative study with a case report method on postpartum mother which assessed with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and followed up with maternity needs. Results: Evaluation of maternity need by nursing and midwifery concepts bring a significant average decrease in the value of postpartum blues. In the first screening, the score is 11, and now the score showed <9. Conclusion: Early detection and appropriate intervention by healthcare providers to collaborate on mitigating these interrelated risk factors would be more effective in reducing rates of postpartum blues. Keywords: psychiatric syndrome, postpartum blues, depression, EPDS.
RISK OF ASTHMA DUE TO THE EXISTENCE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS DURING PREGNANCY AND RISK OF ASTHMA IN CHILDREN
Authors:   SMK Kesehatan Amanah Husada, Batu, Indonesia, Pratiwi Nanda
Published: October 2022

Background: Asthma during pregnancy is a trigger factor for complications in pregnancy. Asthma is a chronic disease of the respiratory tract which can cause complications including the risk of asthma in the offspring, abortion, fetal death, and hypoxia. Psychological factors are often found to be the cause of asthma in pregnancy, such as stress which continues with anxiety and depression. In addition, asthma during the prenatal period is also associated with asthma in later babies. Objective: To understand of risk of asthma during pregnancy and their children after birth. Methods: This article will discuss a literature review by searching for journal articles on electronic media using the referencing period between January 2000 and January 2021. Results: Psychological disorders such as stress and anxiety are psychiatric conditions that are felt to be unpleasant and are associated with the causative factors for the onset of asthma or asthma recurrence and the management of asthma itself. The psychological disorder, either in the form of stress or anxiety, hurts the health condition of the mother during her pregnancy. The stress experienced by the mother during pregnancy also hurts her child in the future. This has pathophysiology, namely due to the continued secretion of cortisol as a result of axial activation in the hypothalamus and hypophysis glands which will eventually lead to T Helper 2 (Th2) cells in the fetus of birth. Conclusion: There is a correlation between the risk of asthma during pregnancy to their children after birth. Keywords: psychological disorders, stress, depression, pregnancy, asthma.
Recommendations to Develop, Distribute and Market Sonification Apps
Authors: Ziemer Tim , Jadid Navid Mirzayousef
Published: October 2022

After decades of research, sonification is still rarely adopted in consumer electronics, software and user interfaces. Outside the science and arts scenes the term sonification seems not well known to the public. As a means of science communication, and in order to make software developers, producers of consumer electronics and end users aware of sonification, we developed, distributed, and promoted Tiltification. This smartphone app utilizes sonification to inform users about the tilt angle of their phone, so that they can use it as a torpedo level. In this paper we report on our app development, distribution and promotion strategies and reflect on their success in making the app in particular, and sonification in general, better known to the public. Finally, we give recommendations on how to develop, distribute and market sonification apps. This article is dedicated to research institutions without commercial interests.
Pre-Recorded Sound File Versus Human Coach: Investigating Auditory Guidance Effects on Elite Rowers
Authors: Herrebrøden Henrik , Sanchez Victor Evaristo Gonzalez , Vuoskoski Jonna Katariina , Jensenius Alexander Refsum
Published: October 2022

We report on an experiment in which nine Norwegian national team rowers (one female) were tested on a rowing ergometer in a motion capture lab. After the warm-up, all participants rowed in a neutral condition for three minutes, without any instructions. Then they rowed in two conditions (three minutes each), with a counterbalanced order: (1) a coaching condition, during which they received oral instructions from a national team coach, and (2) a sound condition, during which they listened to a pre-recorded sound file that was produced to promote good rowing technique. Performance was measured in terms of distance traveled, and subjective responses were measured via a questionnaire inquiring participants about how useful the two interventions were for rowing efficiency. The results showed no significant difference between the two conditions of main interest - the pre-recorded sound file and traditional coaching - on any measure. Our study indicates that auditory guidance can be a cost-efficient supplement to athletes’ training, even at higher levels.
Ritualistic Approach to Sonic Interaction Design: A Poetic Framework for Participatory Sonification
Authors: Morabito Robin , Armitage Jack , Magnusson Thor
Published: October 2022

While sonification is often adopted as an analytical tool to understand data, it can also be an efficient basis for the construction of an interaction model for an aesthetic sound piece. Mirroring the performative arts, a ritualistic approach in participatory sonification can take place whenever a work relies more on the outer form of the piece, than on the meaning attributed to the information communicated, to connect with an audience, losing some degrees of readability and intelligibility in the process while maintaining a reliable data-to-sound relationship. We will present a few examples that anticipate or expand the use of sonification as analytical tool to propose aesthetic approaches, accessing more complex layers of meaning in interactive design. By proposing topological, semantic, and technical perspectives, we demonstrate the functional aspects of the multimedia artwork “The Only Object They Could Retrieve From Earth’s Lost Civilisation” (“The Only Object” from now on). Outcomes will be considered under the multidisciplinary framework here proposed, to conclude with possibilities and implications of a ritualistic approach to interaction design.
5000 Exoplanets: Listen to the Sounds of Discovery
Authors: Russo Matt , Santaguida Andrew
Published: October 2022

In March of 2022, NASA announced the discovery of the 5000th planet orbiting a star other than our sun (an exoplanet). We have created a sonification and visualization to celebrate this milestone and to communicate the exciting history of discovery to the general public. Our work provides a visceral experience of how humanity’s knowledge of alien worlds has progressed. A relatively simple and straightforward sonification mapping is used to make the informational content as accessible to the general public as possible. Listeners can see and hear the timing, number, and relative orbital periods of the exoplanets that have been discovered to date. The sonification was experienced millions of times through NASA’s social media channels and there are plans to update the sonification as future milestones are reached.
Artefact, Participant and Interaction in Auditory Experiences
Authors: Seiça Mariana , Roque Licínio , Martins Pedro , Cardoso F. Amílcar
Published: October 2022

The act of sound perception and its subjective dimensions, from physical to psychoacoustics, from semantic to affective, carry an inherent challenge for the conception and evaluation of every audio-based artefact. Starting from a previous framework of evaluation approaches, we seek to deconstruct the confguring elements of these processes, searching for theoretical foundations informing Sound Design and possible applications for Auditory Displays. This work is a first step into identifying a body of knowledge on the listener’s experience, how the act of listening takes place and how the sequence of listening actions can evolve as forms of dialogue, creating dialogical spaces for making sense of auditory information. With this work, practitioners can gain new insights into how existing techniques for creating auditory artefacts can be confgured and transformed into new, alternative approaches.
Toward Generative Sound Cues for Robots Using Emotive Musification
Authors: Syed Ibrahim , Fick Jason , Zhang Brian , Fitter Naomi
Published: October 2022

Sound is an essential yet under-studied way for robots to communicate with humans. When designed well, robot sound can improve aspects of human-robot interaction from social perception to team fluency, but at its worst, robot sound can discourage use of robots altogether. Thus, sound cues must be carefully and intentionally designed. To address this need, we present a system that uses the inherent emotional connotations of musical qualities to dynamically generate emotive sound for robots. Our application utilizes real-time modification of tempo, pitch, scale, and sound brightness to algorithmically generate melodic phrases intended to evoke specific moods or feelings in human listeners. An in-the-wild exploratory study with N = 26 participants demonstrated that our generative sounds caused human listeners to perceive the robot as happier and warmer. This effort is a first step toward a planned full system that will democratize the design of music-based emotional communication in human-robot interaction.

Analisis regresi linier berganda dilakukan untuk mengetahui besarnya pengaruh variabel independen terhadap variabel dependen. Hasil riset menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan antara variabel whistleblowing system dan budaya organisasi terhadap fraud prevention. Hal ini terjadi akibat sistem whistleblowing yang belum memadai untuk perlindungan pelapor terkait tindakan pencegahan fraud. Selain itu, belum terbentuk budaya saling percaya, serta etika dan integritas yang baik. Sebaliknya, variabel internal control dan leadership memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap fraud prevention. Hal ini akibat adanya pemantauan secara berkala untuk meminimalisir terjadinya tindakan kecurangan dan pemimpin yang menjaga perilaku etis dalam menjalankan roda organisasi.Kata Kunci: Pencegahan Fraud, Sistem Whistleblowing, Pengendalian Internal, Kepemimpinan, Budaya OrganisasiAbstract: The Influence of Whistleblowing System, Internal Control, Leadership and Organizational Culture on Fraud Prevention. This study aims to determine the effect of the whistleblowing system, internal control, leadership and organizational culture on fraud prevention. In this research, the population consisted of 242 managers of mangrove tourism sites in Madura. Questionnaires were delivered to 161 members of a tourism awareness organisation (pokdarwis) that manages mangrove tourism sites in Madura using the purposive sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the magnitude of the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. The results of the research show that there is no relationship between the variable whistleblowing system and organizational culture on fraud prevention. This is due to the inadequate whistleblowing system for the protection of whistleblowers related to fraud prevention measures. In addition, there is no culture of mutual trust, as well as good ethics and integrity. On the other hand, internal control and leadership variables have a positive influence on fraud prevention. This is due to regular monitoring to minimize the occurrence of fraudulent acts and leaders who maintain ethical behavior in running the organization.Keywords: Fraud Prevention, Whistleblowing System, Internal Control, Leadership, Organizational Culture

Authors: Raju Rajeswari , Subramaniam Geetha , Ramachandran Jayalakshmy , Khan Rubaiyet Hasan
Published: October 2022

Academics need better workplace flexibility as their brains can never wholly switch off from work. Therefore, flexible working arrangements (FWA) are linked with enhanced productivity. This research proposes a self-monitoring tool using a mobile application. FlexiWork App is a self-monitoring application designed for an academic to self-measure the impact of workplace flexibility on productivity; and secondly, for the institution to monitor the academic's key performance indicator (KPI) achievement. Hence, this application will benefit both the academics and the university in monitoring the KPI of the staff.

Published: October 2022

Esta investigación busca identificar los posibles efectos del incremento en la inversión en energía geotérmica para su uso en los hogares mexicanos y su beneficio económico en las tarifas domésticas que han registrado un alza del 35% durante los últimos 10 años. Mediante el modelo econométrico panel de efectos fijos se identificaron resultados donde muestra que para el tipo de tarifa más común en la zona central, el aumento de la inversión en centrales geotérmicas está en función de la demanda cuando hay aumento de ventas internas y reducción en costos de producción. Lo anterior incentivaría a detonar el sector geotérmico para empresas del estado y privadas con beneficios monetarios y ambientales. Debido a la escasez de información en tal sector, se utilizaron únicamente los datos públicos disponibles de la Secretaría de Energía. La originalidad de la investigación permite identificar el efecto económico y la apertura de la geotermia en el mercado energético en beneficio de los mexicanos. Se concluye que con un factor de planta elevado en centrales geotérmicas, estimularía la inversión con la consiguiente reducción en las tarifas.
Performance Assessment of Teaching through Students Evaluations: A Case Study Applied at University of Anbar
Authors: Al-Ani Muzhir Shaban
Published: October 2022

The methods of the assessment of faculty member in universities varied. Some of them depend on the assessment of the faculty member on the teaching and research burden. Others assessments focus on how much teaching is provided during the calendar year. There are some ways in which the faculty member’s assessment depends on the qualitative aspect provided by the faculty member. In addition, some of them combine both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the necessities to reach an appropriate evaluation process. This research aimed to consider the student as an essential part in the educational science and it is clear that the role taken by the student is no less important than the other role. This research started, where a questionnaire was prepared which included several paragraphs to measure the extent to which the student can evaluate the professor. The fourth stage students were chosen as the study sample because the students at last stage in the university has a good level of thinking and preparation. That means these students have experience in understanding the level of teaching and the knowledge of teachers. The proposed approach tries to analyze the educational model for evaluation developed in the Computer Science Department of the University of Anbar for learning and teaching of computer science and related scientific disciplines. In general, it is clear that more than 50% of the tested sample are satisfied with the teaching process which indicated good results have been achieved.

Examining drug-resistant tuberculosis stigma among healthcare workers toward the development of a stigma reduction intervention: A scoping review protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Aranas Lolita , Alam Khorshed , Gyawali Prajwal , Mahumud Rashidul Alam
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND

Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DRTB) is an increasing threat to human health and economic security worldwide. Exacerbating the severity of DRTB is the low rate of service delivery, leading to increased community transmission of the disease, further amplified by stigma. Health workers are on the front line of service delivery; their efforts in all areas of disease control are suspected of having resulted in stigmatization, impacting patient-centred care. As a growing concern, attention to addressing the DRTB stigma confronting health workers is required. However, little is known about stigma among health workers delivering services to DRTB patients. This scoping review will provide an overview that could help inform appropriate responses toward stigma-reduction interventions for these health workers.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review protocol articulates a methodology that will examine the aspects of DRTB-related stigma confronting health workers in high TB- and DRTB-burden countries. The scoping review will summarize 1) stigma barriers and facilitators contributing to stigmatization among health workers delivering services to DRTB patients, 2) identify the most common stigma barrier and facilitator, and 3) and summarize the stigma reduction intervention recommendations in the studies.

METHODS

Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and the recommendations of Levac et al., we will conduct a scoping review of relevant articles providing evidence of drug-resistant tuberculosis-related stigma among health workers from high tuberculosis and DRTB burden countries. We will search published articles written in English from 2010 and onwards in electronic databases using MESH and keywords. Our search will apply a three-step search strategy and utilize software tools to manage references and facilitate the entire scoping review process. The findings of our review will be presented following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for Scoping Reviews checklist. Our study is registered under OSF Registries osf.io/43 kp9, licensed by CC-BY Attribution-NonCommercial NoDerivatives 4.0 International.

RESULTS

This scoping review is part of a bigger project that critically investigates stigma among health workers delivering services to patients resistant to TB medications. This current study started in November 2021 and is expected to finish in 2023. The study has retrieved 593 abstracts out of 12,138 articles searched since February 2022 from the identified databases. This study is expected to finish in 2023. The findings of this study will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

The role of indigenous lactic acid Bacteria Genus Lactobacillus in the fermentation process of Durian (Durio zibethinus) for Tempoyak production
Authors: Ardilla Yunita Ayu , Anggreini Krisna Wahyu , Rahmani Tara Puri Ducha
Published: October 2022

Durian (Durio zibethinus) is a type of fruit included in the climacteric fruit, so it needs processing to have a longer shelf life. One of the processed durian fruits is tempoyak. Tempoyak is a traditional fermented durian food well known around Kalimantan and Sumatra. Tempoyak is made from durian, which usually has a good level of maturity. The distinctive aroma and semi-solid texture of tempoyak are produced by the fermentation process by bacteria. Tempoyak processing has involved adding a bit of salt and indigenous lactic acid bacteria, one of which is the bacteria genus Lactobacillus, such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus curvatus. This study aimed to determine the role of lactic acid bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus in the fermentation process of durian into tempoyak, to determine the potential of bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus in other respects, and to determine the health benefits of tempoyak. This research was conducted using a literature study method with several stages, namely article searching, article selection, data synthesis, and ending with report generation. From the literature search, it can be seen that indigenous bacteria from the genus Lactobacillus are found in fermented durian fruit. Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus curvatus are species of the genus Lactobacillus that can ferment sugar into lactic acid and are usually used in fermented agricultural products and livestock products. Lactobacillus plantarum producing lactic acid is amylolytic because it can directly convert starch to form lactic acid. Lactobacillus curvatus has various functions related to carbohydrate utilization and bacteriocin production, enabling fermentative and antibacterial properties. Tempoyak can be beneficial for digestive health and has the potential to increase the body's immune system. The results obtained prove that the indigenous bacteria of the genus Lactobacillus from tempoyak play a role in the durian fermentation process and have the potential as probiotics that are good for health.

Published: October 2022

Standard microbiological culture techniques can only identify a fraction of the urogenital microbiome. Meanwhile, identifying and characterizing infectious microorganisms are very important for the success of diagnosis and treatments, especially for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) patients. This study aimed to characterize the urogenital microbiome of UTI patients using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We sequenced two pooled DNA samples from voided urine of UTI patients (21 females and 13 males). To determine the structure and composition of taxa in the samples, 16S rRNA gene sequencing was performed using the Illumina Mi‐Seq paired‐end platform. The most abundant genera were Burkholderia‐Caballeronia‐Paraburkholderia (71%) followed by Prevotella (33%), Escherichia‐Shigella (24%), Klebsiella (23%) and Sneathia (10%). The female microbiome was dominated by Prevotella bivia (28%), Escherichia coli (24%), Sneathia sanguinegens (7%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (4%). On the other hand, the male microbiome was dominated by K. pneumoniae (23%) and E. coli (2%). K. pneumoniae and E. coli were the most abundant species found in both microbiomes. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing used in this study successfully uncovered the composition of the urogenital microbiome, which might not have been possible with conventional culture methods.
The efficacy of captopril and 5-fluorouracil combination in the proliferation and collagen deposition of keloid fibroblast
Authors: Amelia Jesslyn , Wirohadidjojo Yohanes Widodo , Siswati Agnes Sri
Published: October 2022

Keloid is a benign fibroproliferative tissue growth that exceeds the initial wound margins. Captopril has been tested in vitro to reduce fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition; thus, it has potential for use in the treatment of keloids. Meanwhile, 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) has already been used in keloid management. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the combination of captopril and 5‐FU in keloid fibroblast cultures. Keloid tissues were cultured up to passages 4–7. The study consisted of a control group, captopril in various concentrations (10‐2, 10‐3, 10‐4, and 10‐5 mol/L), 5‐FU 1 mg/mL and a combination of captopril at various concentrations with 5‐FU 1 mg/mL. After 144 hours of treatment, fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition were measured. The study showed a significant decrease in the mean index of fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition in the group receiving captopril in various concentrations (10‐2, 10‐3, 10‐4, and 10‐5 mol/L) and the 5‐FU group against the control group (p<0.05). In the combined‐dose group, captopril at a concentration of 10‐2 mol/L and 5‐FU showed a significant reduction in fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition compared to the 5‐FU group and the captopril at the same dose (p<0.05). In conclusion, the combination of captopril 10‐2 mol/L and 5‐FU 1 mg/mL is better at reducing fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition in keloid fibroblast cultures than captopril or 5‐FU as a single therapeutic agent.

Authors: MOHAN RAM , KAYALVIZHI  , RAMANATHAN RASHMI , SHANMUGAM JEEVITHAN , R. ARCHANA
Published: October 2022

Objective: This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of vestibular stimulation on motor coordination in Parkinson’s disease (PD) induced mice.
Methods: 18 healthy adult male Swiss albino mice were used in this study. Vestibule was stimulated by caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS). Pesticide Rotenone was used to induce Parkinson’s disease (PD). Motor coordination was assessed by the fall-off time and the activity score using the rotarod and actophotometer, respectively.
Results: In the rotarod test, there was a significant increase in the fall-off time (p<0.01) in the CVS PD group (131.63±18.34) on the 30th day when compared to the PD group (95.33±15.17). In the actophotometer, the activity score improved in the PD CVS group on the 15 (235±47.09) and 30th days (251.38±25.76), while there was no improvement in the PD group. This shows the significant effect of caloric vestibular stimulation on motor coordination in Parkinson’s disease.
Conclusion: This study confirms that caloric vestibular stimulation with hot water resulted in the improvement of motor coordination in PD. Hence this study certainly merits further studies with a higher sample size to confirm the effect of caloric vestibular stimulation on the enhancement of motor coordination in individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

Taking into account the increase in longevity and the positive and negative aspects brought by the aging process, the elderly often go through many losses. In this process, elderly people may be affected by physical and psychological problems, leading them to create or not strategies for aging well. The aim of this research is to analyze the association between psychological symptoms with spirituality and strategies for successful aging in the elderly. This study consists of a quantitative, correlational and cross-sectional research. The sample consisted of 49 people over 60 years of age, who actively participated in computing groups in the city of Novo Hamburgo, Brazil. The instruments used were the Selection, Optimization and Compensation Scale (SOC), the Symptom Assessment Scale (SAS-40) and the Spirituality Scale. Descriptive statistical analyzes, correlation by Spearman's test and linear regression by stages were performed. The results showed significant relationships between the psychological symptoms of anxiety, obsessiveness/ compulsiveness, psychoticism and somatization. Spirituality, especially hope and optimism, and strategies to promote successful aging, especially optimization, are relevant aspects for the reduction and control of these psychological symptoms. Hope, optimism and optimization are strategies that allow subjects to control the symptoms of psychoticism and obsessiveness. Hope and optimism aid in the control of anxiety and optimization helps in the somatization symptom. Based on these results, our conclusion is that it is necessary to improve public policies to allow the elderly to have opportunities to optimize their potential and develop hope and optimize the promotion of mental health.

The patient with CRF presents, in addition to kidney damage, other pathologies covered that injure the condition, making treatment difficult. The general objective of the study is to analyze the clinical and pharmacological characteristics of patients with Chronic Renal Failure (CRF) on hemodialysis treated at a dialysis unit in the municipality of Ariquemes, state of Rondônia, Brazilian Amazon. Data were collected through two sources: in medical records and in interviews with patients. The research had a random sampling of 30 patients of both sexes. Systolic arterial hypertension (SAH) is the main cause of CRF with 50% of cases, followed by polycystic kidney disease (PRD) 13.3% and diabetes mellitus (DM) 6.7%, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 3, 3% and other diseases with 25.7%. The relative frequency of SAH as the underlying disease (50%), SAH comorbidity (70%), hematocrit alteration (96.7%), anemic corrective P.M. (96.7%), access condition = fistula (93.3%), report of another pathology (73.3%), phosphorus alteration (46.6%) and P.M with phosphorus correction (46.6%) are the main clinical characteristics found. One hundred percent of patients use medications, 80% know what the drugs they use are for, 80% of patients know how to describe medications, 76.6 follow the prescriptions, 50% receive pharmaceutical guidance and 80% say they understand the guidance. The use of 4 to 6 medications a day prevailed (53.3%), 20% practice self-medication, 23.3% use teas and medicinal plants and 96.6 seek medical help when necessary. The results presented show several aspects of the population of patients with chronic renal failure in the Amazon scenario, which will serve to support decisions to improve care for these patients, including the creation and long-term maintenance of a comprehensive data and information recording system with the socioeconomic, clinical and pharmacological characteristics, in addition to the follow-up of patients outside the treatment unit, the analysis and dissemination of epidemiological data on patients with CRF undergoing renal treatment in a Dialysis Center.

This study sought to describe the advantages and challenges of studying at a distance and has a general objective: to report the advantages and challenges of studying at a distance. It adopts as a type of research the quantity-qualitative approach. The methodological procedure took place in the first place to make a theoretical foundation to search in books, websites, magazines, etc., 7 closed and two open, and finally, the results sought to analyze the questions in order to seek the advantages and challenges of distance learning. The data revealed to us as an advantage, the opportunity to study at a time chosen by the academic, be it during the day or any time of the night, and the challenges are the difficulty of answers when there is a question at the time of study that often the time is not conventional. In this study, it showed that studying at a distance gives the possibility for some academics to study who live more than 100km away from the pole and also an opportunity for others who are in the day-to-day, working to support the home.

Brazil has a great geological potential, however there are only three geoparks recognized by UNESCO: Araripe, Seridó and Caminhos dos Cânions. Several studies show the potential of the Brazilian region, located at Minas Gerais state, named Iron Quadrangle to be incorporated in the Global Geopark Network,, where its conservation has importance in the geological, historical and social scene. The State University of Minas Gerais (UEMG), through its trajectory, has developed extension and research projects linked to the history of each region, with themes related to geodiversity, geoeducation, environmental preservation. This paper aims to demonstrate how the academy, especially the UEMG, can promote the conservation of the Iron Quadrangle. The city of João Monlevade has received special attention since this city integrates the Iron Quadrangle and it has important geological sites as Areão Park and Serra do Seara. João Monlevade city has an economy around the steel industry, metallurgy and mining, activities that interpose intensively in the landscape. . Research and extension works in these domains are essential, since they represent an important tool for its conservation. The institution can extend to the society the scientific knowledge about geological historical, economic heritage, space alteration and environment preservation as a whole creating an important way for local and regional sustainability.

Un comisario del Santo Oficio en un pueblo dejado de la mano de Dios, en alguna provincia de la Nueva España, debe lidiar con el alboroto causado por la llegada de la compañía de la legua capitaneada por la empresaria María Martínez. El comisario buenamente trata de cumplir con su deber con el máximo celo, mientras María Martínez despliega sus mil mañas para el lucimiento del espectáculo, dos gallitos se pelean, unos lugareños piadosos se indignan y una doncella danzante se enamora… ¡No se pierdan, damas y caballeros, las audaces suertes del ciego malabarista, los responsos del Hombre Invisible en la Máquina Maravillosa, las curaciones milagrosas del doctor Agirtes Falconi!
BREVE HISTORIA DEL PENSAMIENTO ECONÓMICO, HEINZ D. KURZ
Authors: Carbajal Cortés Raúl
Published: October 2022

La historia del pensamiento económico ha evolucionado en los últimos años hacia la exposición sistemática de las teorías económicas que se han desarrollado a lo largo del tiempo, desde su exposición a través de la concepción de las doctrinas económicas, pasando por la noción de escuelas de pensamiento, hasta concebir las ideas económicas como sistemas económicos.

El libro Breve historia del pensamiento económico de Heinz D. Kurz, publicado por el Fondo de Cultura Económica, viene a aportar dentro de la literatura económica, de la historia de la teoría económica, un texto actual que expone de manera ponderada y reflexiva el desarrollo de las ideas económicas que se han gestado desde la antigüedad hasta la modernidad....
Identification for a Favorable Area of Groundwater Exploitation Based on Structural and Geoelectrical Data in Fractured Aquifer in Southern Brazil
Authors: Moreira César Augusto , Innocenti Helene Lívia Porte
Published: October 2022

La complejidad estructural inherente a los acuíferos fracturados, que controla la acumulación y el flujo de agua subterránea en zonas restringidas, puede dar lugar a un elevado número de pozos tubulares no productivos. El análisis combinado de las características geomorfológicas y las investigaciones indirectas, como los métodos geofísicos, permite identificar objetivos favorables para la explotación de aguas subterráneas. Este trabajo trata de los estudios estructurales regionales y locales acoplados con datos de tomografía de resistividad eléctrica con el fin de identificar objetivos favorables para la explotación de aguas subterráneas para el consumo urbano en un granito fracturado situado en la ciudad de Caçapava do Sul, en el sur de Brasil. El control estructural se manifiesta en las formas del terreno regional y condiciona claramente la orientación de los drenajes principales. Basándose en este control estructural, se realizaron cuatro líneas paralelas de tomografía de resistividad eléctrica en una zona de interés para la explotación de aguas subterráneas, seguidas de la generación de modelos de inversión 2D y de modelos pseudo 3D. El contacto entre el suelo superficial muy fino y el macizo granítico subyacente determina la existencia de un acuífero libre regional y la probable recarga del acuífero fracturado. En los modelos de inversión 2D se producen variaciones bruscas de resistividad relacionadas con las fracturas verticales localmente reconocidas en el yacimiento, aunque no muestran continuidad lateral (fuera del plano). El análisis de los mapas geofísicos a partir de 40metros de profundidad permite reconocer tres alineaciones de baja resistividad (alrededor de 500Ωm) dentro de un contexto granítico donde predominan los valores altos (por encima de 15000Ωm). Estas alineaciones muestran un patrón de triple intersección de fracturas reconocido también en las imágenes de satélite, que son altamente favorables para la acumulación y explotación de aguas subterráneas.
Trabajo decente en México: la influencia del entorno económico y la apertura al exterior
Authors: Arredondo Rocio N. , Davia María A. , Varela Rogelio
Published: October 2022

Este texto presenta la medición del trabajo decente en México durante el periodo 2005-2019, usando un índice multidimensional que engloba aspectos salariales (salario digno) y no salariales (derechos), al tiempo que se analiza su relación con el entorno económico y la apertura al exterior. Haciendo uso de la estructura jerárquica de la base de datos contenida en la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo (ENOE), se estima un modelo multinivel en el que se indica una relación positiva entre el trabajo decente, y las ramas productivas con mayor inversión extranjera directa, así como con las entidades federativas con mayor peso de las exportaciones respecto a su PIB. También se identifica la relación entre éste y la heterogeneidad en las características sociodemográficas del trabajador y aspectos relacionados con su entorno sectorial y estatal.
