Social policy in Slovenia and Montenegro: Comparing development and challenges
Authors: Hrast Maša Filipovič , Janković Uglješa , Rakar Tatjana
Published: January 2021

Slovenia and Montenegro have a common past; however, they have also experienced diverse developments in the field of social policy over the last three decades. The social policy of the two countries is based on a Yugoslav welfare model, and yet the positions of the two countries were quite rather different even as part of Federal Yugoslavia, with Slovenia being one of the most developed territories within the federation, while Montenegro was one of the least developed. In this article, we will describe the position and main challenges of the transition of the two countries from 1990 in relation to the developments and changes in the core fields of social policy, such as the labour market and social assistance, family policy and old age policy. The emphasis will be on linking the diverse starting points, the process of transition and the direction of developments, within the framework of path dependent changes in the two welfare systems, as well as a discussion of the relevant structural pressures, such as the economic and social situation of the two countries and ways of coping with these pressures that were employed. In the conclusion, the changes within the individual fields of social policy will also be discussed in relation to the prevalent discourses of the neoliberal transformation of modern welfare states, along with the development of social investment perspectives within social policy as a whole.
Cultivation of Algae Polyculture in Municipal Wastewater with CO2 Supply
Authors: Podkuiko Lara , Kasemets Mari-Liis , Kikas Timo , Lips Inga
Published: January 2021

In the past decades microalgae have been viewed as a promising source of sustainable biomass, because the cultivation of microalgae does not require arable land. Because the main use of the biomass has been envisaged as feedstock for biofuel, research has been directed on increasing the (lipid) yield of monospecies. However, because the production of biofuel from such virgin biomass is not economically viable, the production of the biomass should be coupled with other processes. In addition, cultivating polycultures may yield more biomass, while ensuring a stable culture. In this research Chlorella spp., Arthrospira platensis and Raphidocelis subcapitata were grown as a polyculture in municipal wastewater in order to remove nutrients. The results indicate that using microalgal polycultures may help reduce nitrogen and phosphorus by the level reglemented by the EU Council Directive. This may help reduce water treatment costs with simultaneous biomass production.

Published: January 2021

In current study UV light and visible light activated photocatalytic inactivation treatment was applied to the less commonly studied subjects, namely bacteriophages PRD1, T4 and their mixture. By using UV light irradiation and high efficiency P25 TiO2 photocatalyst powders it was demonstrated that individually and in mixture PRD1 bacteriophage is particularly vulnerable to the photocatalytic inactivation and in just approximately 20 min its infectivity is reduced by 100 %. As for the T4 bacteriophage, it has been reported that under UV irradiation T4 triggers self-repair and replication mechanisms therefore under same photocatalytic inactivation conditions infectivity reduction reaches just 60 %. Surprisingly, by studying visible light photocatalytic treatment efficiency of PRD1 and T4 bacteriophage mixture we identified that T4 bacteriophage potentially triggers the same self-repair and replication mechanism as it does under UV light. Moreover, by using two different types of visible light activated photocatalysts we determined that when efficiency of the used photocatalyst is too small the overall infectivity of the T4 bacteriophage can significantly surpass the corresponding property of the untreated control group.
Assessment of Urban Resilience to Natural Disasters with a System Dynamics Tool: Case Study of Latvian Municipality
Authors: Feofilovs Maksims , Romagnoli Francesco
Published: January 2021

Research focuses on linking climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction strategies. The aim of the research is to test an urban resilience assessment tool through a local case study. The tool is based on integrating two methods. Multi-criteria analysis and system dynamics model is used to create a dynamic Urban Resilience Index. For the case study a local medium sized town is chosen in Latvia that is subject to flood risk. The results of the model simulation show that the model is suitable for both short term and long term resilience assessment. Future studies must focus on the precision of such a tool, which in this study could not be evaluated. Overall, the tool presented can contribute to offsetting the existing knowledge gaps between climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction for better policy planning and strengthening urban resilience on the local level.
Waste Cooking Oil as Substrate for Single Cell Protein Production by Yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
Authors: Spalvins Kriss , Geiba Zane , Kusnere Zane , Blumberga Dagnija
Published: January 2021

Cooking oils are widely used in food preparation. During cooking, harmful compounds are formed in oils, therefore utilization of used cooking oils (waste cooking oils) is limited. Single cell protein (SCP) is dietary protein, which can be produced from various protein-rich microorganisms that are capable of utilizing industrial by-products such as waste cooking oil (WCO). In this study the utilization of industrial WCO (obtained from local potato chips manufacturer) as a carbon source for single cell protein production by yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was assessed. The medium containing 27.5 g/L WCO and C/N ratio of 5–10 for batch fermentations was determined to be the optimal composition for SCP production. In this study, the highest reported Yarrowia lipolytica biomass concentration (57.37 g/L) was achieved when WCO was used as the main carbon source. Protein concentrations were relatively low (12.6 %), which also affected the final protein yield (7.23 g/L). The resulting biomass accumulated low concentrations of toxic malondialdehyde (MDA) (2.32 mg MDA/kg) compared to concentrations initially detected in the WCO itself (30.87 mg MDA/kg). To the best of the authors knowledge this is the first study to report on MDA decrease via microbial fermentations.
Transitions to Professional Education in Switzerland: The Influence of Institutional Characteristics of the Swiss VET System
Authors: Sander Fabian , Kriesi Irene
Published: January 2021

Based on human capital and institutional theory, this article investigates whether transitions into professional education depend on institutional characteristics of the preceding initial vocational education and training program. The empirical analyses make use of the SLFS data. They show that vertically non­differentiated initial vocational education and training programs with high shares of vocational school and standardized final exams increase the probability to enter professional education.

Gender differences of speech in Internet communication.
Authors:   Moscow Region State University, Savin M.A. , Pochernyaeva O.E. ,   Moscow Region State University
Published: January 2021

This article covers the specifics of male and female Internet communication, based on the works in the field of gender linguistics. An analysis of different concepts, scientific works and studies related to the genderlect was performed. Authors of this article conducted their own research based on the works of previous years in order to confirm or refute the thesis about the existing differences in the speech of men and women put forward previously. The research methods consisted of creating a list of studied gender speech markers, creating a methodology for assessing their relevance and conducting a survey using Google Forms. Drawing a conclusion from the results of the study, authors of this article concluded that the speech differences between sexes are extremely rare, non-systemic and affect language only on a lexical level. Based on the available data, it is impossible to confirm that the existing speech features of some male and female representatives are consequential of their sex/gender, and not individual cases of upbringing. The relevance of this work is due to the lack of such studies in the field of Russian language and Russian-speaking Internet, as well as ambiguity of previous studies by foreign scientists.

The article is devoted to the study of the sociolinguistic aspects of the German-language sambo discourse. The research focuses on the sports space of the discourse of sambo, human communication, social institutions, rituals in sports, and the symbolism of the sports space. Sport is seen as a social phenomenon; the characteristic features of sports discourse, the predestination of the nature of communication in German sports discourse, the role and intentions of participants in sports discourse as the main figures of interaction in the communicative space are determined; the specificity is analyzed and the characteristic features of the intersection of institutional discourses are revealed; we identify and explain the significance, semiotics and scripting in the German-language sports discourse. The main aspects that contribute to the formation of social space, sports communication and that determine the formation of sports space are revealed. Video materials in German and printed publications with German terminology were used as research and analysis material. By analyzing research materials, a complex methodology is needed, namely the use of contextual analysis, discourse analysis and functional analysis of units of German-language special vocabulary.
Experiencer as quasi-agent: «from meaning to the linguistic form»
Authors:   Moscow City University, Fomina М.А.
Published: January 2021

The paper focuses on the category of semantic subject within the framework of a functional approach to linguistics. The variety of roles subject may have in a sentence accounts for the radially structured category of subject. With the agent subject being the center of the category, other members – Possessor, Experiencer, Neutral, etc. – appear to be scattered within the syntactical category of subject being more central or peripheral. The paper deals with the Experiencer subject. The author stresses the key role of a well-elaborated metalanguage in linguistic analysis and assumes that a thorough analysis of the relevant conceptual category, its structure and content, should precede the stage of developing a metalanguage. The paper 1) differentiates between similar though not interchangeable notions such as semantic subject, grammatical subject, and the bearer of predicative feature, 2) features the peripheral status of the Experiencer within the category of semantic subject, 3) reveals the means of its linguistic representation, 4) makes a structural and semantic analysis of the models with the Experiencer.

What teaching materials are relevant to develop reading skills of my students? Can every Internet resource or course book be used in all classrooms? Should materials meet national standards of a particular country? Teachers usually face the reality while selecting resources to use in their teaching. Teaching materials are an indispensible tool in the majority of language classrooms. This paper gives an overview of reading materials and the selection of authentic materials for designing reading tasks in the English as a foreign language classroom in Uzbekistan. It also seeks theories that support the efforts in developing culturally and locally appropriate EFL reading materials. This article proposes a method of using authentic materials in teaching students a foreign language. The main criteria for the selection of authentic materials in accordance with the purpose and objectives of learning are identified, and the advantages of their use for the development of reading skills in comparison with adapted texts and an increase in the level of motivation for learning a foreign language are analyzed. English learners often say that reading, which is a vital part of language learning, is boring and difficult. This problematic situation may be the result of improper EFL reading practice.
A PROBLEMATIZAÇÃO DA IMAGEM MASCULINA DA FAMÍLIA BURGUESA EM “OS FIOS DAS MISSANGAS”
Authors: Marozo Luís Ferando
Published: January 2021

A literatura pode contribuir tanto para ampliar a noção social quanto para atender as necessidades simbólicas das pessoas. Sob esse viés, o livro de contos “Os fios das missangas”, do moçambicano Mia Couto, surge como o terreno no qual as reflexões sobre família e sexualidade germinam. O termo família, do latim famulus, designa o servidor, o criado. Do mundo antigo centrado no pater onde faziam parte esposa, filhos, patrimônios, animais e servidores, à família burguesa composta por marido, esposa e filhos, este núcleo social sempre vinculou deveres, funções e interditos. Cada membro tem além de um “papel social”, também uma determinada “imagem” de pai, de mãe ou de filho, que corresponde a uma expectativa de comportamento emocional e sexual. Neste sentido, o presente artigo problematiza a imagem tradicional do pai, do filho e do amante a partir dos contos “As três irmãs”, “O fio e as missangas” e “Peixe para Eulália” e apresenta novas formas de simbolizar o desejo e o sentimento amoroso.Palavras-chave: Mia Couto. Fio das Missangas. Família. Desejo.ABSTRACTLiterature can contribute both to broaden the social notion, as well as, to meet people symbolic needs. The book of short stories, “Os fios da missanga”, by the Mozambican Mia Couto emerges as the ground in which reflections on family and sexuality germinate. The latin term famulus designates the server, the servant. From the ancient world centered on the pater formed by the wife, children, assets, animals and servants to the bourgeois family composed by husband, wife and children, this social nucleus has Always been associated to duties, functions and interdicts. Each member has not only a “social role”, but also a certain father, mother or child ‘image’; which corresponds to an expectation of emotional and sexual behavior. In this sense, the present article from the short stories “As três irmãs”, “O fio e as missangas” e “Peixe para Eulália”, problematizes the traditional image of the father, of the son and of the lover, presenting new ways of symbolizing the desire and the loving feeling.Keywords: Mia Couto.

This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to examine factors affecting the psychological well-being of female and male Thai students, and to compare gender differences in a psychological well-being promotion model. Participants were 624 students from three secondary schools in Bangkok and Nakhon Pathom provinces, Thailand. Data were collected in 2018 through self-administered questionnaires, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling. Findings indicated that all factors from the psychological well-being promotion model influenced psychological well-being among female and male students. Resilience and mindfulness were the strongest predictors affecting psychological well-being in both female and male students. Furthermore, there were not any gender differences concerning predictors and statistical parameters of psychological well-being among Thai secondary school students. Nurse educators or healthcare providers may offer interventions to enhance students’ well-being by strengthening resilience, mindfulness, self-efficacy, and social support. The same interventions, considering their preferences, may be provided to both male and female students. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions using rigorous research methodology.

Published: January 2021

Objectives:

This study was undertaken with the aim to find out possible presence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy in patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its association with advancing severity of disease. Changes in nerve conduction parameter values in these patients have been presented.

Materials and Methods:

Median, ulnar, peroneal motor, and sural sensory nerve conduction latency, amplitude, and velocity were recorded in 100 known cases of COPD in the age group of 25–65 years as per the standard protocol.

Results:

On analysis, statistically significant lowering of sural nerve conduction velocity (P = 0.002) and amplitude (P = 0.003) was found with decreasing FEV1% in the three stages of COPD. Decrease in ulnar sensory conduction amplitude and velocity was also noted but it was not significant. Fall in sural nerve conduction velocity was found to be strongly and positively correlated (P = 0.029, r = 0.444) with decrease in FEV1%.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that with increasing severity of disease, airflow limitation enhances polyneuropathy in COPD patients. It is predominantly axonal and mainly involving sensory nerve.

The Impact of Text Messaging as an Instructional Tool to Enhance Learner Autonomy and Perception
Authors: Behforouz Behnam , Frumuselu Anca Daniela
Published: January 2021

This paper investigates the efficiency of text messaging as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructional tool to enhance learner autonomy and perception at the Islamic Azad University-South Tehran Branch, Iran. The study considers seventy-four learners to participate in the study after the administration of an Oxford Placement Test to measure their proficiency level. Participants are randomly assigned in experimental and control groups, including 37 participants each. A questionnaire is used as a pretest and posttest to measure learners` autonomy. Participants from the experimental group use text messaging (the treatment) to receive instructions, whereas those from the control group receive traditional classroom instructions in a face-to-face channel. A semi-structured interview is also used to collect date on experimental group participants` perception in using MALL in classrooms. The results reveal remarkable differences between the experimental and control groups’ means on their learner autonomy scores. However, the impact of the independent samples t-test has shown that there is no statistically meaningful gender difference among the learners regarding their autonomy scores. The findings based on the semi-structured interview showed complimentary views on MALL. The current study is beneficial since its outcomes could be relevant for EFL curriculum developers and English language teachers in the use of mobile learning and text messaging in the English classroom.
A new approach for matching road lines using efficiency rates of similarity measures
Authors: HACAR Müslüm , GÖKGÖZ Turkay
Published: January 2021

The lack of common semantic information among corresponding geo-objects in different datasets required new matching approaches based on geometric and topological measures. In this study, a semi-automated matching approach based on the matching capabilities of geometric and topological measures was proposed. In the first stage, after the initial matching performed by a scoring system, the efficiency of each measure on the matching accuracy is evaluated manually by an operator. In the second stage, (1) the score of each measure is updated in accordance with the accuracy distributions. This means that the score of a measure is increased if it is relatively more significant than others. Finally, (2) matching process is repeated with new scores. The proposed approach was tested by matching tree-, cellular-, and hybrid-patterned road lines in municipal, private navigation, and OpenStreetMap datasets. The experimental testing shows that it has satisfactory results both in accuracy and completeness. F-measure is over 86% in hybrid-patterned Bosphorus datasets.
Relationship between land surface temperature and normalized difference water index on various land surfaces: A seasonal analysis
Authors: GUHA Subhanil , GOVİL Himanshu
Published: January 2021

The present study examines the seasonal relationship between land surface temperature (LST) and normalized difference water index (NDWI) on various land surfaces in Raipur City of India by using a series of Landsat images for four specific seasons since 1991-92. The LST is retrieved using the mono-window algorithm technique. The results show that the LST of the study area is noticeably affected by surface composition. The best correlation (correlation coefficient r = 0.42) between the LST and NDWI is achieved in the post-monsoon season, followed by the monsoon season (r = 0.33), pre-monsoon season (r = 0.25), and winter season (r = 0.04). There is a moderate negative correlation (r = -0.49, -0.33, -0.31, and -0.25 in the pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter season, respectively) generated between the LST and NDWI on water bodies. On green vegetation, this LST-NDWI correlation is moderate positive (r = 0.67, 0.43, 0.50, and 0.25 in the pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter season, respectively). On human settlement and barren land surface, the correlation is weak positive (r = 0.24, 0.21, 0.27, and 0.15 in the pre-monsoon, monsoon, post-monsoon, and winter season, respectively). The output of the research work can be used in the town planning section of any urban agglomeration.
Invitation to Dialogue
(about S.I. Gabiev’s book “Arabs, Islam and Arab-Muslim Culture”)
Authors: Aylarova Svetlana A.
Published: January 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of the book of the Dagestani educator Said Gabiev “Arabs, Islam and Arab-Muslim culture” (1915). Its relevance is due to the fact that many of its provisions can be used in the modern process of spiritual and moral education. This work has practically not been studied since its publication, the events that followed after 1915 did not contribute to this. The article states that S.I. Gabiev is a European educated intellectual who has absorbed the democratic values of Russian culture, and at the same time is a Muslim believer, an expert on Islam. The book is the first experience of Islamic-Christian dialogue in public thought in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century, where the task is to acquaint the reader with the history and culture of Islam, to overcome negative stereotypes, prejudices and prejudices about Islam characteristic of the public consciousness of Europe and Russia. Ignorance of Islam, a prejudiced attitude towards it was, according to the author, especially destructive for Russia, which included a multimillion Muslim population. S.I. Gabiev analyzes the Islamic dogma of predestination (fate), which, in his opinion, was the cause of the stagnation that reigned in contemporary Muslim society. The author insists on the need for modernizing transformations in society, for cleansing Islam from historical social and cultural “stratifications” that contradict Islam. Pointing to the exceptional vitality of Islam, the author is confident in the revival of Muslim culture and thought, in the political independence of the Arab-Muslim states. S.I. Gabiev proceeded from the fundamental possibility of mutual understanding of the country’s two religious and cultural universes: Christian and Muslim, in the process of which a new Russian culture would be created. The author believes that, taking into account the above material, an interreligious and intercultural dialogue is necessary in Russia, which should become its original civilizational idea.
The Book of Psalms (1848) — the first experience of Bible translation into Ossetic
Authors: Asratyan Dmitry K.
Published: January 2021

The history of translations of the Holy Scripture and liturgical texts into the Ossetic language has not yet become a subject of systematic study, although the formation of the national intelligentsia is closely connected with this process, as well as the development of standards of the literary language. The aim of this paper is to study the historical context in which the Book of Psalms was translated and published in 1848, becoming the first complete Bible book in Ossetic, as well as to determine its significance in the history of Ossetian literature. Analysis of documentary materials (such as letters of the translator Grigory Mzhedlov, reviews written by Academician Anders Sjögren) and comparison of the published translation with the Hebrew original and other versions give a clue to the principles of translator’s work. An attempt is made to analyze advantages and drawbacks of the translation, as well as the level of its reception and its influence on the further activities of Ossetian national intelligentsia. The translation of the Books of Psalms is considered to be an important step as the first experience in the practical implementation of language norms recorded in the classical grammar of Anders Sjögren, which laid the foundation for the scientific study and teaching of Ossetic language; but the Book of Psalms became obsolete very quickly — due to the appearance of the first generation of the Ossetian intelligentsia and the beginning of systematic collective work on creating the corpus of Church books in Ossetic. Nevertheless, the influence of the 1848 translation can be clearly seen in further Ossetic church translations and should not be underestimated. The study of the development of the literary Ossetic language, the formation of religious terminology is impossible without a serious study of translations of the 19th century, including the earliest of them — the Book of Psalms translated by Grigory Mzhedlov.
From the history of the military past
of composer and conductor Boris Galaev
Authors: Kireev Felix S.
Published: January 2021

Boris Alexandrovich Galaev is known as an outstanding composer, folklorist, conductor, educator, musical and public figure. He has a great merit in the development of musical culture in South Ossetia. All the musical activity of B.A. Galaev is studied and analyzed in detail.
In most of the biographies of B.A. Galaev about his participation in the First World War, there is only one proposal that he served in the army and was a bandmaster.
For the first time in historiography the participation of B.A. Galaev is analyzed, and it is found out what positions he held, what awards he received, in which battles he participated.
Based on the identified documentary sources, for the first time in historiography, it occured that B.A. Galaev was an active participant in the First World War on the Caucasian Front. He went on attacks, both on foot and horse formation, was in reconnaissance, maintained communication between units, received military awards. During this period, he did not have time to study his favorite music, since, according to the documents, he was constantly at the front, in the battle formations of the advanced units.
He had to forget all this heroic past and tried not to mention it ever after. Therefore, this period of his life was not studied by the researchers of his biography.
For writing this work, the author uses the Highest Orders on the Ranks of the Military and the materials of the Russian State Military Historical Archive (RSMHA).
LA MÚSICA DE LAS CANTIGAS REVELA LAS ORDENANZAS DE TRAZADO DE LA CIUDAD MEDIEVAL ALFONSINA
Authors: de Tomás Medina Carmen
Published: January 2021

La común regularidad de las pueblas fundadas por Alfonso X en Castilla ha sido estudiada por prestigiosos investigadores del último siglo, quienes han coincidido en afirmar que la similitud geométrica de las mismas podría responder a una idea preconcebida de la ciudad. Sin embargo, la ausencia de documentos acreditativos de estas sospechas ha supuesto que muchos rechacen la intuición inicial y que subrayen la imposibilidad de encontrar las reglas de trazado responsables de esta regularidad. La presente investigación tiene como objeto descifrar las ordenanzas de trazado que guiaron la construcción de las ciudades alfonsinas y demostrar, mediante el análisis urbanístico de tres de ellas y el estudio de la sabiduría clásica redescubierta en la época, la relación existente entre las reglas de trazado de una ciudad y las reglas de composición musical.

Megaproyectos como productores de suelo urbanizable

Published: January 2021

Resumen:
Los megaproyectos en México se han presentado como una de las principales posibilidades para ejercer el crecimiento y desarrollo de las ciudades. Hoy por hoy, las ciudades medias también se encuentran en la disyuntiva por apuntar hacia el desarrollo de grandes proyectos urbanos, que operan como los principales generadores de atractivo y multiplicación de capitales en torno al espacio urbano. El caso de Hermosillo, Sonora ubicado en el noroeste de México, señala un proceso de expansión y rehabilitación urbana a partir de la generación de proyectos urbanos a gran escala en los últimos quince años. Su impacto se ha reflejado en la acrecentando producción de suelo urbanizable vinculado al desarrollo inmobiliario de viviendas residenciales. El objetivo del siguiente artículo es evidenciar la morfología urbana de Hermosillo, a partir de hacer un análisis histórico descriptivo que nos permita identificar las zonas urbanas, así como sus consecuencias. La originalidad del trabajo se centra en la falta de estudios que aborden la problemática desde la dimensión urbana para el caso, así la capacidad de demostrar que los megaproyectos urbanos han carecido de una verdadera posibilidad para el desarrollo y, por ende, han generado la inserción de otras problemáticas en torno a la ciudad.

En las zonas metropolitanas de México los efectos del proceso de metropolización han generado un tipo de crecimiento urbano que ya no se produce en continuidad con el tejido urbano existente. Se conoce que este fenómeno emerge en el contexto de la globalización, como un proceso socioeconómico que se manifiesta físicamente en el territorio y produce transformaciones sociales, urbanas y políticas en las ciudades. Aplicando el enfoque del análisis territorial el estudio se enfoca al proceso de metropolización en la Zona Metropolitana de Querétaro, la cual ha destacado por lo acelerado que se ha expandido en su superficie de urbanización a través del tiempo. La metodología busca estandarizar la medición del fenómeno con el objeto de comparar los resultados entre las ciudades mexicanas. En este caso, la investigación muestra la manera en que un territorio de escala metropolitana se va cubriendo de urbanizaciones y como puede explorarse comparativamente entre las décadas 1990-2010.
Factores que explican el valor del suelo. Caso Hermosillo, Sonora, México
Authors: QUINTANA JESÚS , OJEDA ARTURO , GARCÍA JESÚS F.
Published: January 2021

El documento muestra las relaciones del valor del suelo habitacional y las principales variables inmobiliarias. A partir de la evidente diferenciación del valor del suelo a través de la ciudad, enmarcada en conceptos de deseabilidad del entorno edificado, de la accesibilidad urbana y de la jerarquía social; obtenida a través de indicadores de educación, renta, accesibilidad, consumo de agua y criminalidad.
El análisis parte de una base de datos, geográficamente referenciada, con 427 mediciones de valores del suelo y sus características inmobiliarias, además de, indicadores del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía, mediciones del Organismo Operador Municipal Agua de Hermosillo y datos publicados por la Secretaría de Seguridad Pública del Estado de Sonora.
Datos que se integran en un sistema de información geográfica, que permiten establecer modelos de precios hedónicos, que se obtienen utilizando análisis estadísticos y geoestadísticos multivariados, resueltos con la técnica de regresión lineal múltiple y la regresión geográficamente ponderada.
Los resultados indican una importante asociación positiva del valor del suelo con el nivel de ingreso, el consumo de agua y la educación; y en este caso, la accesibilidad y la criminalidad en la ciudad parecen ser características que no aportan valor al suelo urbano habitacional.
Paisaje de la arquitectura. Mirada monista del ambiente
Authors: PRESMANES REYNALDO G. , ÁLVAREZ VALLEJO ALBERTO
Published: January 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo fue fundamentar el concepto de paisaje de la arquitectura, el cual se ubicó en el contexto de la crisis disciplinaria. La fundamentación se estableció como método de investigación y se soportó teóricamente sobre la epistemología ambiental, el constructivismo, la teoría del diseño y de la arquitectura. Esta labor terminó con la obtención de un concepto de paisaje de la arquitectura de naturaleza epistemológica basado sobre la idea de cultura. Al respecto, se concluyó identificando al monismo como orden pensamiento emergente, en los estudios del paisaje, a partir de la complejidad y explicando cómo se hace posible a partir del concepto de paisaje de la arquitectura.

Introduction. There is currently a great number of mobile apps and devices for remote monitoring of biometric indicators used by patents and healthy people. Aim. The purpose of the paper is to review principles and methods of patient motivation for active using of mobile apps and devices for health state estimation. Matireals and methods. We conducted the analysis of 66 scientific sources for the last 5 years, 32 sources related to this theme were selected. We also used our experience of 250 000 remote consultations of urological patients. Results. Physicians should actively involve patients in care of their health – explain advantages of using mobile apps which allow to monitor health state and its changings in real time. Thus it will allow to react to emerging disfunctions, to correct them and to prevent complications or fatal outcome. In spite of evident prospectivity of remote health monitoring we can highlight several difficulties and risks, connected with it, such as low physicians’ motivation, increasing of their labor costs, safe personal and medical data storage, inaccurate and excessive data, difficulties of systematization, slow decrease of patients adherence to using mobile apps. Conclusions. The application of devices and apps for remote monitoring of health indicators is greatly promising as a source of secondary diagnostic information. Further research for clarification of remote technologies influence on clinical outcome is required. Long work for enlightenment and promoting patients’ and physicians’ interest is to be done before telemonitoring devices will occupy a niche in the healthcare system.
