ASSESSMENT OF RADIOLOGICAL IMPACTS FROM POSTULATED ACCIDENT CONDITIONS OF HTGR: A CASE STUDY IN SERPONG NUCLEAR AREA
Authors: Setiawan Muhammad Budi , Husnayani Ihda , Susiati Heni
Published: July 2022

High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactor (HTGR) design has an improved safety which depends on its TRISO coated fuel particles that are considered not to be damaged even in accident condition. However, the radiological impacts from accident condition in HTGR is still important to be assessed. This research is aimed to perform radiological impacts assessment of two postulated accidents of HTGR, which are depressurization and water ingress accident. As a case study, a 10-MWTh pebble-bed HTGR design named Reaktor Daya Eksperimental with the planned site located in Serpong Nuclear Area was chosen. The source terms from the accident conditions were estimated using mechanistic source term model and the dose consequences were calculated using PC-COSYMA. The input data for PC COSYMA, which are meteorological, population distribution, agricultural and local farm data, were compiled based on the site data of Serpong Nuclear Area. The radiological impacts were assessed based on individual and collective doses. The results showed that the highest dose will be received by the community within a radius of 250 m to the south from the reactor. It was also found that these accidents only cause minor radiological impacts which do not meet the criteria for any countermeasures (iodine thyroid blocking, sheltering, evacuation, food ban, decontamination, and relocation).

Planificación urbana en la Amazonía colombiana: prácticas ciudadanas, participación, autonomía y (co)diseños para la vida
Authors: Duque Fonseca Claudia Alexandra
Published: July 2022

El presente artículo analiza la producción social del espacio urbano en Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia, desde una perspectiva crítica de la planificación.Con base en el método etnográfico y la cartografía participativa se examinan nociones y prácticas de planificación urbana, a nivel del Estado y de los habitantes urbanos. Teniendo esto último en cuenta, el estudio se centra en dos barrios de la ciudad de Florencia, lo que permite poner en cuestión la idea de que la planificación estatal es en sí misma portadora de progreso y desarrollo. Los resultados obtenidos revindican el reconocimiento de las prácticas ciudadanas y otras formas locales de planificación (en el sentido de construir, y de soñar) para (co)diseñar nuevas espacialidadesurbanas para la vida.
Las formas de organización territorial de las organizaciones kirchneristas en una provincia argentina. El caso de Santiago del Estero (2005-2013)
Authors: Campos Hernán
Published: July 2022

Se caracterizó el funcionamiento territorial de las organizaciones políticas como redes inscriptas en los barrios en el contexto de la consolidación delgobierno provincial y del Gobierno nacional kirchnerista en Santiago del Estero. Se interpretaron los modos locales de procesamiento de la política deorden nacional por parte de los sectores populares, considerando los espacios provinciales como territorios de producción de lo político. La pregunta del artículo es ¿cómo fue posible que organizaciones con referencia nacional estuvieran en territorios provinciales relacionándose y disputando recursosy apoyos políticos en los barrios o localidades nada menos que a las redes políticas del oficialismo provincial? Se desarrollaron entrevistas y registrosde observación en cuatro organizaciones kirchneristas: Movimiento Evita; La Cámpora; Federación, Tierra y Vivienda; Kolina.
Antropología ¿? Anarquismo
Authors: Calavia Sáez Oscar
Published: July 2022

La antropología suministra al pensamiento anarquista información sobre formas de organización social ajenas a un poder establecido, y desmientela necesidad histórica de este, mostrando el papel crucial que la violencia tiene en su constitución; pero también constata la fragilidad del autogobierno frente a los avances del Estado. La relación entre antropología y anarquismo es densa pero paradójica. Hay, por un lado, la simpatía hacia culturas “tradicionales” o “arcaicas” de una ciencia surgida en un medio progresista, ligado a pesar de eso (o por eso mismo) al proceso colonial. Por el otro, a medida que la antropología se decide por la militancia política, sus esperanzas parecen siempre puestas en un Estado capaz de corregir el tenor autoritario de la sociedad, y a reivindicar la diversidad en nombre de metas universales.

Published: July 2022

Objectives

There have been concerns about the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian youth (aged 16–24) as they have the highest rates of mental health concerns. The objectives of the present study were to explore the experiences of youth with mental health and/or addiction concerns and their families during the pandemic, and to examine how adequate and equitable mental health services have been for youth and families from the perspectives of youth, parents, and service providers.

Methods

Using a descriptive qualitative research design and a university–community partnership, we conducted individual interviews with youth, parents, and service providers. The study involved a total of 25 participants (n=15 service users, n=10 service providers). Among the service users, 11 participants were parents and four were youth. We used thematic analysis to analyze interview data.

Results

The thematic analysis identified three themes in the data: (1) youth mental health concerns have increased, whereas supports have decreased, (2) families end up being the treatment team with increased burden, little support, and lack of recognition, and (3) inadequate and inequitable mental health services for youth and families are amplified during the pandemic.

Conclusion

At a time when mental health needs were higher, the mental health care system offered less support to youth and their families. For a more equitable response to the pandemic, we need an accessible and integrated mental health care system that shows a commitment to addressing social determinants and reducing health disparities and inequities in access to mental health services.

Published: July 2022

Objective. The aim of study is the effect of educational intervention on anxiety of pregnant women.

Methods. This quasi-experimental study is done on the pregnant women referring to family physician’s offices in Gerash City, Iran. 62 women were selected and divided into 2 groups (control and intervention). In intervention group the anxiety reduction training classes were held as a group discussion in 4 weekly 90-minute sessions. Control group received routine care. The anxiety assessment completed by two groups before and after the educational intervention. The measurement instruments included a demographic information questionnaire and the short form of the Pregnancy Related Anxiety Questionnaire (PRAQ-17).

Results. Comparison of the mean scores of different dimensions of pregnancy anxiety in the pre-intervention and post-intervention stages in the intervention group using paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in the dimensions Fear of childbirth, Fear of giving birth to a physically or mentally disabled child, Fear of mood swings and Fear of changes in marital relations (p < 0.05) in comparison with control group. 

Conclusion. Holding pregnancy-training classes using group discussion method is a good strategy to reduce anxiety in pregnant women. Therefore, it is recommended that this educational  strategy classes be used with mothers from the second trimester of pregnancy in urban family physician centers or those referred to a nearby clinic.
ZNO/TIO2 and ZNO/NB2O5 as effective systems for the treatment of enteric bacteria and commercial dyes
Authors: Hernández-Niño Jhon Sebastián , Murcia-Mesa Julie Joseane , Rojas-Sarmiento Hugo Alfonso , Hidalgo María del Carmen , Navío-Santos Jose Antonio
Published: July 2022

In this study, ZnO/TiO2 and ZnO/Nb2O5 photocatalysts were evaluated in the river pollution remediation and wastewater treatment from textile factories, thus, the target pollutants selected for this study were enteropathogenic bacteria and commercial dyes. The mixed oxide systems were extensively analyzed in order to explore their physicochemical properties. From this analysis, it was found that the coupling of two oxides did not modify the crystallinity of the pristine semiconductors. As a result, XRD Wurtzite phase, hexagonal phase, and anatase phases were identified for ZnO, Nb2O5, and TiO2 photocatalyst, respectively. Using UV-Vis DRS, a higher absorption for mixed oxides in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum was observed, along with a decrease in the band gap value in these materials. The results of the photocatalytic activity evaluation showed that the coupling of ZnO with Nb2O5 and TiO2 increased the effectiveness of the total organic carbon (TOC) and E. Coli elimination. 83% of TOC and elimination of 64% of E. coli were achieved using ZnO/Nb2O5 photocatalyst for the treatment of water samples from the polluted river.
The role of smoking in the development of strokes at a young age
Authors: Gusev V. V. , Medvedev D. A. , Lvova O. A. , Shamalov N. A. , Kovtun O. P.
Published: July 2022

Stroke in young patients is a disease based on a number of known specific non-modifiable factors (extracranial artery dissection, thrombophilia, open oval hole, etc.) and modifiable factors (alcohol abuse, drug use, smoking, etc.), in combination leading to the development of pathology. Smoking is a generally recognized modifiable risk factor for stroke, which is directly proportional to the number of tobacco-containing products smoked. Quitting smoking is the basis of prevention, an integral part of the treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients. If it is impossible to completely give up smoking combustible cigarettes, it is advisable to switch to alternative smokeless products. This article presents the results of current studies on the comparative assessment of the risk of stroke in young people when using combustible cigarettes and smokeless analogues.

Authors: Bukhalenkova D.A. , Nechaeva D.M.
Published: July 2022

The analytical review focuses on factors affecting the development of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of 14 studies from 2020 to 2022 are systematized. The generalization of their results expands and clarifies the understanding of the relationship between the development process of preschool children with factors of relations between children and parents, the stress situation, forced isolation during a pandemic. The analyzed studies indicate that the stress level of parents and their perception of a stressful situation simultaneously affect the child’s perception of parents and the relationship with him. Empirical evidence has been systematized in favor of children attending kindergartens, educational centers, or taking help from other relatives as positively telling on their social development motor activity and comfortable family climate. It is emphasized that during the pandemic, the amount of screen time among younger schoolchildren has significantly increased.
Russian-language adaptation of methods for diagnosing acceptance and avoidance of experience
Authors: Yasin M.I.
Published: July 2022

The results of the Russian-language adaptation of the questionnaire «Measuring experiential avoidance» with 32 and 16 questions (Hayes, 2004) and «Acceptance and Action Questionnaire» with 9 and 7 questions (Bond, 2011) are presented. This questionnaire s measures an individual tendency of avoiding experience and action. The sample consisted of 313 respondents, age ranged from 17 to 64 years, with average years 34.25, 70% are female. In 32-question version received Cronbach's Alpha 0.773, but low CFI parameters. In 16-question version Cronbach Alpha is 0.78, also low CFI parameters. In 9-question version received Cronbach Alpha 0.649, which is sufficient for this type of scales, and the required CFI scores. The 7-question version gave Cronbach's Alpha 0.659 and the required CFI parameters. The validity of the scales checked by comparison of clinical groups and the results were satisfactory. The retest reliability was carried out after 3 months, checked by the Pearson correlation method and gave the results r = 0.84, with p <0.001. Variants with 32 and 16 questions gave results comparable to those of the original English language, and the scales with 7 and 9 questions meet all modern statistical requirements and are highly valid.
A Novel and Low Processing Time ECG Security Method Suitable for Sensor Node Platforms
Authors: Jusak Jusak , Mahmoud Seedahmed Sharif
Published: July 2022

An anonymisation of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is essential during the distribution and storage in a public repository. In this paper, we propose a novel low processing time ECG anonymisation method based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm that is suitable for sensor node platforms. The proposed framework was developed to address two major constraints in the Internet of Medical Thing environment, i.e., immediate need for securing ECG signal and efficient method for overcoming physical limitation of sensor nodes. Performance evaluation by way of computer simulation over normal and abnormal ECG signals showed that the proposed framework was able to conceal fiducial and non-fiducial features of the ECG signals. Additionally, it showed that the proposed framework offered flexibility in determining the secret key length of the anonymised ECG signal. Strong cross-correlation indicated close similarity between the original and the reconstructed ECG signals implying lossless reconstruction of the original ECG signal. Furthermore, the proposed method achieved a lower processing time security algorithm as compared with the recently proposed wavelet based anonymisation methods.
A New Scheme for Spreading & De-spreading in the Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Mechanism
Authors: ElSharkawy Magdy Ibrahim
Published: July 2022

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) techniques are widely used to implement code-division multiple access (CDMA) in wireless communication systems.  Both DSSS and FHSS systems help reducing the effects of interference on the transmitted information making it robust against channel impairments.  DSSS uses a signal bandwidth that is much broader than the information signal bandwidth.  Traditionally, the wide band signal is generated by multiplying the narrowband information signal with a binary code, often designated as a spreading code, to generate the wideband signal that is transmitted. The original information signal can be recreated at the receiver by multiplying the received wideband signal by the same binary code (now designated as a de-spreading code) used to generate the wideband transmitted signal.  To extract the original information signal, the spreading and de-spreading codes must be in synchronism at the receiver and amplitude match with each other.  A new modification for the direct sequence spread spectrum is proposed in this paper. The mechanism introduced in this approach implicates generating the wideband signal by circularly shifting the spreading code (PN) by n places, where n represents the value of the current byte of information signal. The yielded signal is modulated using BPSK modulator before transmitting it.  The original information signal is extracted at the receiver by correlating the received signal (which is actually the original spread sequence circularly shifted by n places) with a locally generated replica of the spreading code.  The position of the maximum value of the cross-correlation vector represents the value of the information signal byte.  The proposed configuration has been implemented using Simulink simulator and the obtained results show that its performance is identical with the conventional DSSS.
Using Quaternion Fourier Transform in Steganography Systems
Authors: ElSharkawy Magdy Ibrahim
Published: July 2022

steganography is the discipline of exchanging information messages in such way that no one, other than the intended recipient, suspects the existence of the message.  The transmitted message can be in textual or multimedia form (audio, image or video) and can be hidden within cover media. Moreover, the hidden message can be in either plain or cipher form.  In steganography, the majority of hiding techniques are implemented either in spatial domain or in frequency domain of the cover media.   The current contribution introduces a new a steganography technique for hiding a textual message within a cover image.   Both the message and the cover image is converted to quaternion form and then only the quaternion message is converted to the frequency domain using Quaternion Fast Fourier Discrete Transform (QFFDT) technique.  Simple quaternion mathematics are used to combine the message (in quaternion frequency domain) within the cover image (in quaternion form).  Conversely, the hidden message can be revealed at the receiver using simple quaternion mathematics in presence of the original cover image.  The proposed method allows hiding a huge amount of data and it is much complicated against steganalysis compared to the traditional methods. The method is assessed using the known performance metrics and the obtained results show that it is robust and more secure against steganalysis attacks without affecting the consumed bandwidth of the communication channel.

Published: July 2022

Actually, verifying neurological disorders associated with COVID-19 make clinicians ask several questions: the manifestation of neurological pathology is due to COVID-19, or there is a combination of several CNS pathologies with COVID-19. We report a clinical case of a 57-year-old female patient with demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, cerebral venous thrombosis associated with clinically transferred COVID-19. Differential diagnosis was performed with multiple sclerosis, acute multiple encephalomyelitis, opticomyelitis, cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy, sarcoidosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, mitochondrial encephalopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and thrombosis veins of the large hemispheres. Probable pathogenetic variants of demyelination development and possible connection with cerebral venous thrombosis and COVID-19 are highlighted.

Authors: Savina Maria A. , Sheshenin Vladimir S. , Pochueva Valeriya V.
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND. Anxiety disorders are frequently observed in patients with schizophrenia. Meanwhile lifetime frequency of these disorders in late-onset schizophrenia remains unknown.
AIM. The aim of the study was to investigate frequency of anxiety disorders in patients with late-onset psychosis.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. 85 patients with late-manifesting psychoses (after 40 years) aged 45 to 86 years (average age 66.5=9.5 years) were examined. Patients with late schizophrenia (n=42), late schizoaffective disorder (n=12), late chronic delusional disorder (n=15), organic schizoform psychosis (n=8), recurrent depression with psychotic symptoms (n=8) underwent psychiatric examination (PANSS, HDRS-17, MMSE, MoCA) and standard interviews. The diagnosis was carried out according to the criteria of the International Classification of Diseases of the 10th revision. The control group included 24 people over 45 years old without signs of mental disorders (average age 57.68.8 years). Statistical analysis included nonparametric criteria.
RESULTS. Results. Patients with late schizophrenia were distinguished by certain premorbid features in the form of an increased frequency of social phobia, more animal phobias and multiple polysymptomatic habitual anxiety reactions. Patients with late schizoaffective disorder were characterized by a tendency to hypochondriac fears and multiple polysymptomatic habitual anxiety reactions. Patients with late delusional disorder were characterized by an increased frequency of animal phobias. Patients with late mental depression are characterized by the presence of multiple undeveloped anxiety reactions and hypochondriac fears. Patients with endomorphic organic psychoses were distinguished by a low frequency of hypochondriacal fears in the anamnesis.
CONCLUSION. High frequency of anxiety disorders in patients with late-onset schizophrenia was detected. This data could improve diagnostics of late-onset psychosis.
Integrating Domain knowledge into Monte Carlo Tree Search for Real-Time Strategy Games
Authors:   , Yang Zuozhi , Ontañón Santiago
Published: July 2022

Tree search algorithms are widely applied methods to model and solve sequential decision problems. In particular, the family of sampling-based tree search algorithms called Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has had great success in problems with large branching factors. However, Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games offer a challenging testbed for tree search algorithms due to their large combinatorial action spaces, partial observability, simultaneous moves, and other factors, making them beyond the grasp of even current MCTS algorithms. This thesis makes contributions towards scaling MCTS algorithms to become more effective and efficient in the domain of RTS games. Specifically, this thesis contributes on the following problems. Firstly, we explore the problem of the integration of MCTS and domain knowledge, in the form of unit-action probability distributions, state evaluation functions, and scripted bots. Secondly, we investigate the optimization of gameplay/rollout policies for MCTS. Third, we study methods for self-learning in MCTS, where tree and/or rollout policies are bootstrapped directly from MCTS behavior iteratively.
Betrayal Trauma among Veterans
Authors:   , Gerber Holly R. , Nezu Arthur M. , Nezu Christine M.
Published: July 2022

Betrayal trauma theory has been a useful construct for differentiating outcomes following various forms of traumatic experiences. Research has shown individuals exposed to higher betrayal traumas report worse mental and physical health outcomes compared to lower betrayal traumas. Although veterans experience higher rates of trauma than their civilian counterparts, the application of betrayal trauma theory to this population has been limited. The present study applied a betrayal trauma framework to better understand veteran's lifetime traumatic experiences and how they may relate to mental and physical health outcomes, including suicide risk and chronic pain. Self-report data were collected from 267 veterans recruited online using a crowd sourcing platform. A series of hierarchical regressions was performed. Suicidal ideation was regressed on betrayal trauma occurring before, during, and after military service. The results of two separate analyses showed significant main effects for lower betrayal trauma during military service (R2 = .135, F(11, 255) = 3.632, p < .001) and higher betrayal trauma post-military service (R2 = .144, F(12, 258) = 3.901, p <.001). Social problem solving was examined as a potential moderator of suicide risk; however, the results were not significant. Chronic pain was regressed on PTSD and lower and higher betrayal trauma; results showed PTSD and lower betrayal trauma explained significant variance in chronic pain (R2 = .202, F(5, 261) = 13.200, p < .001). Social problem solving was examined as a moderator of chronic pain and higher betrayal trauma; only the omnibus effect of higher BT was statistically significant (R2 = .137, F(6, 260) = 6.906, p < .001). These results, some of which were not consistent with prior research, are discussed in relation to the general veteran population, military context, and current relevant literature. This study adds to a larger literature base showing that prevention and assessment of trauma throughout the lifespan among veterans is important to reduce suicide risk and chronic pain.
Волны революций XXI столетия
Authors: Goldstone Jack , Гринин Леонид , Коротаев Андрей
Published: July 2022

Статья предлагает предварительное описание трех революционных волн XXI в., их ключевых характеристик и причин. Одна из целей данной статьи – развить аналитические инструменты, в частности углубить понимание самого понятия революции и революционных событий, а также типологию революционных событий. В целом настоящая статья предлагает теоретический и отчасти количественный анализ революционного процесса ХХI в. Предложен новый подход к выделению волн революций, который включает следующие критерии: 1) реальную связанность событий в рамках Мир-Системы общими факторами; 2) количество революций не должно быть меньше 4-5; 3) временной интервал революционных событий – не более 10 лет между началом первого и началом последнего события; 4) в один хронологический период может произойти одна волна. На этой основе в XXI в. нами было выделено три волны. Первая волна – цветные революции 2000-2009 гг. Вторая волна – Арабская весна и ее глобальное эхо, 2010/2011-2013 гг. Третья волна – с 2018 г., незавершенная. Предложенный анализ позволяет дать оценку революционного процесса ХХI в. как (а) весьма активного, в котором интенсивность революций нарастает, (б) довольно разнообразного по типам революционных событий, (в) революционные события характерны для стран не только мир-системной периферии, но и мир-системного ядра.
Российская политическая элита: текущее состояние и динамика основных показателей (на материалах исследований 2011-2021 гг.)
Authors: Палитай Иван
Published: July 2022

В статье представлены результаты политико-психологического анализа политической элиты России. Методический комплекс эмпирического исследования, проведенного в конце 2020 – начале 2021 г., включал психобиографический метод, контент-анализ текстов, метод наблюдения. В ходе исследования были собраны и обработаны биографические сведения о 556 политиках, в число которых вошли все депутаты Государственной Думы РФ VII созыва, а также главы регионов и министры федерального правительства РФ, занимавшие свои посты на момент исследования. Биографические сведения легли в основу статусно-ролевого анализа современной политической элиты России, а также дали возможность проанализировать динамику ее ключевых социально-демографических показателей, начиная с 2011 г. (на базе проведенных ранее исследований). Построенные 30 политико-психологических профилей представителей элиты позволили сформулировать гипотезы о проблемах реализации личностного и профессионального потенциала представителей политической элиты современной России. Исследование показало, что наиболее заметен тренд на омоложение, однако проявляется он только в тех корпусах, в формировании которых тем или иным образом принимает участие федеральная власть. Проблема реализации личностного и профессионального потенциала представителей политической элиты вытекает не только из особенностей сложившейся ситуации, но и во многом из запроса населения на те или иные качества и модели поведения. Оценка нынешней кризисной ситуации показала, что психологические угрозы в большей степени коренятся в сознании и поведении самой политической элиты. Соответственно, ее представителям, особенно молодым, необходимо обучаться и переобучаться для развития лидерских навыков, формирования рефлексивного мышления, способности к выработке долгосрочных стратегий.
Dictionary, Translation and Chinese Language in Domingo Fernández de Navarrete
Authors: Busquets Alemany Anna
Published: July 2022

One of the essential elements of the much-admired accommodation of the Jesuits was their dedication to the study of the Chinese language. However, this orientation is not exclusively to the Jesuits. The other religious orders also showed the same orientation from the first moment. Although following the imperial guidelines of Nebrija evangelization should be done in Spanish, the friars who left for America and Asia were focused from the first moment to learn thelocal languages. Following the line of sixteenthcenturyMexican dictionaries and languages,the translation of texts between Spanish andChinese already had a clear representationin the Philippine Islands with the work of JuanCobo. Throughout the XVII several vocabularies,grammars and language arts would appear whilethe work of the Dominican Domingo Fernández deNavarrete would include a very brief dictionary.This interest of mendicants by the local languageswould culminate in the work of the DominicanFrancisco Varo. Starting from the original sources—manuscripts and printed— of the seventeenthcentury, this communication will analyze in detailthe linguistic accommodation of the mendicantorders with special emphasis on the Franciscansand the Dominicans.
The Relations of “shi tun” (示屯) during the Reign of Wu-Ding of Shang (≈1250 B.C. - 1222 B.C.)
Authors: Jinjing Xu
Published: July 2022

In Annals of Spring and Autumn it is stated that: “State affairs are worship and military affairs.” The inscriptions on turtle shells and bones are records of the escapulimancia during the Shang dynasty (≈1600 BC - 1046 BC), and that covers all aspects of life and society. The “tun” (屯) is a unit of measurement used for the turtle shells and bones of the oracle during the Shang dynasty. A shell or a bone is “a pian (丿)”, and a pair is “a tun (屯)”. “Shi tun” (示屯) refers to the “offering of shells and prepared bones”, is one of the important sources of oracular bones. The organization and analysis of reception records in those bones allow us to get to know this dynasty of more than 3,000 years ago from a new perspective. In addition, we can also understand the social status of taxpayers and signatories,through comparisons with the content of otheroracular bones.

Due to the problems detected in the practice of teaching Chinese as second Language, on the other hand with the theoretical advances both in nonverbal communication and in pedagogy, especially in that of Chinese language, we began to reflect on the importance of the nonverbal language in intercultural communications. It is found that it necessary to make a theoretical and practical proposal for the integration of nonverbal communication into the Chinese language teaching materials, for the purposeof improving our students’ communication andthe comprehension on the culture and societyof China. In this goal, the present work consistsin the analysis of nonverbal signs used in somespecific communicative contexts in Chineserelated to the topic of “greetings”, and in theidentification of those nonverbal signs that canmore easily cause errors of interpretation in thestudents, mainly by questionnaire, interviews andbibliographic review. Finally, based on the resultsof our study, we present a concrete pedagogicalproposal composed by five activities, in orderto offer a complementary material that couldhelp the students to avoid misinterpretations inspoken or written context that block and distortthe transmission of messages.

The phraseology is part of the linguistic studies on phrases, proverbs, idioms, proverbs and other units of syntax totally or partially fixed. It is the reflection of a certain tradition and idiosyncrasy of society. The native speaker recognizes the phraseological units in the praxis of speech without difficulty. However, because of their idiomaticity and the sociocultural divergence between two linguistic communities, Spanish sayings and expressions cannot always be understood by the Chinese speakers. Students of Spanish as a foreign language have difficulty recognizing the non-literal meaning of an expression, the use of this type of expression in language teachingdevelops communicative competence, linguisticscompetence, sociolinguistics and pragmaticscompetence. Then, when producing a bilingualdictionary, it is not enough to translate it into thetarget language, but rather to contrast the twolanguages in order to inform non-native speakersof unknown elements, such as historical andcultural backgrounds, uses, and their frequencyof application, variants, etc.

Published: July 2022

The study in-depth of The Analects gives us an idea of how the Confucius’ ideas for society were. The Master always advocated bringing social reforms through the education of individuals in society. He wanted to develop an ideal social order through the cultivation of ideal lifestyles and the full development of the personality of the individuals. Through years of experience and the thorough analysis of the behaviour of Chinese teachers and students when teaching and learning it has been shown that the main principles of Confucian teachings are still present in crucial figures such as the teacher, the class monitor and the students; as well as in several factors that determine the teaching such as motivation, the teacher's reprimand, the students’ shyness and the memorization of concepts.Furthermore, it is particularly important to compare the European teacher with the Chinese one, sincethe former is mainly influenced by the Greco-Roman philosophy and the thinkers of the Enlightenment;the latter is tremendously influenced by the ideas of Confucius despite the fact that they were bornmore than 2,500 years ago.

Authors: Lathiya Pankaj
Published: July 2022

It is proven that Homeopathic medicine has dynamic power to boost host's immunity when we prescribe as a prophylaxis in a pandemic era. The preventive aspect of homoeopathy is well known, and Historically Homoeopathy has repeatedly been used for prevention during the epidemics of cholera, Japanese encephalitis, Leptospirosis, Spanish Flu, yellow fever, scarlet fever, Diphtheria, typhoid etc. The success in those infectious epidemic diseases adds homoeopathy as an adjuvant to the standard of care in management of COVID 19. There are many evidences that suggest homoeopathy can be effective in the fight against the pandemic. The basic core of cure of homoeopathy is that a medicine that produces a set of symptoms when given to a healthy person under controlled settings can be prescribed in a highly diluted form to a disease person with those similar symptoms. This is what is known as Similia Similibus Curentur in Latin phrase that means like cures like.
Los designios de la política comercial de Chile: adecuaciones mediante y pragmatismo en las medidas legislativas, 1850-1914
Authors: Dingemans Alfonso F.
Published: July 2022

A diferencia del enfoque historiográfico común, este artículo no asume la similitud doctrinaria como la explicación principal de la política comercial. En su lugar, propone considerarla como el resultado de un proceso político que conjuga múltiples intereses. En particular, la política comercial chilena (1850-1914), mediante sus Ordenanzas de Aduanas, ha sido considerada un fiel reflejo de las doctrinas económicas de la época. Sin embargo, este artículo propone ampliar el análisis empírico a las distintas medidas de política, tales como las leyes y decretos, enfatizando su estructura arancelaria ex ante (de iure) más que la ex post (efectiva). Los resultados sugieren un uso compensatorio de los aranceles que llevó a una reducción persistente de estos, independiente de la doctrina imperante en la ordenanza. Sus “designios” fueron, por tanto, más pragmáticos que doctrinarios.

Authors: OLY Noemi Zaharia
Published: July 2022

Olympic athletes possess unique physical, mental, and leadership characteristics. Identifying and quantifying their leadership skills can enhance their employability, leading to a successful career transition. The researcher assessed 119 Olympic athletes, medalists (n =72), and non-medalists (n = 45) who competed in 11 different sports, representing both genders, various age groups, and from 20 countries, and competed in at least one Olympic game. Using the Leadership Trait Questionnaire (LTQ) survey, out of the possible 70 points, the entire population surveyed had the mean LTQ score of 62.48, medalists scored 61.49 and non-medalists scored 62.70. With no significant differences in LTQ scores, the conclusion can be drawn that all Olympians possess unique leadership characteristics. To explore how to enhance the employability of elite athletes, the researcher investigated if a correlation exists between their total LTQ scores and their chosen careers. Out of 119 participants, most remained in the sporting world as coaches (n=46), with others mostly remaining in sports related fields. The correlation between the LTQ scores and their age, gender, sports, highest placement was also analyzed. In conclusion, the employability of elite athletes can be improved by empowering them to have a better understanding of their unique leadership characteristics alongside other exceptional skills they already possess and apply them as they transition to life after sports.

Published: July 2022

Background: We aimed to identify indicators affecting firefighters’ resilience through a systematic review.
Methods: International electronic databases, including Web of Science, Medline through PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, were searched on Dec 23, 2018. The search strategy was developed using main words, including firefighter, resilience, and indicators. Then, the indicators related to firefighters’ resilience were extracted and analyzed using a qualitative synthesis method.
Results: Overall, 7178 unique documents were identified by searching different databases. Then, by screening the title and abstract, 7104 articles were excluded, and only 74 full text papers were critically studied. Finally, 31 full text articles were selected for the analysis. Quality appraisal of included studies done by modified STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) tool. Moreover, 186 indicators and criteria were extracted from the included studies and classified into 6 domains and 15 categories.
Conclusion: This study suggests six main domains, including physical health, physical fitness, mental health, life style, job-related competencies, and demographic status, to categorize different indicators of firefighters’ resilience. Building resilience in firefighters requires all these domains to be considered in the assessment, planning, and evaluation processes.
