Authors: Sunarso Alfeus , Ibrahim-Bathis Kunhali , Murti Sakti A. , Budiarto Irwan , Ruiz Harold S.
Published: August 2020

This paper presents a technical and economic feasibility assessment of utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in the West Kalimantan Province of Borneo, which is essential for boosting the development of solar PV plants in Indonesia. The assessment was performed based on a previously developed geographical information systems (GIS) package that integrates satellite-derived data of solar irradiation with locally obtained data such as land usage, topography, road lines, and an electrical network. For the evaluation of the technical and economic feasibility, annual energy production and electrical cost were calculated using an analysis tool that was integrated into a GIS package. The results show that more than 93% of the exploitable land that covers the area of 49,859 km2 is available for the development of solar PV plants, with an annual energy production higher than 180 GWh/km2 and an electricity cost lower than 0.05 USD/kWh, indicating the attractiveness of utility-scale solar PV plant development in West Kalimantan Province. A further detailed assessment of optimal sites shows that the selected sites are technically and economically feasible for the development of utility-scale solar PV plants. The approaches and results of this research should be valuable for energy planners, developers, and policy makers to set the strategies for promoting the development of utility-scale solar PV plants in pro of the sustainable development of Indonesia.
Does Brain Lateralization Affect the Performance in Binary Choice Tasks? A Study in the Animal Model Danio rerio
Authors: Miletto Petrazzini Maria Elena , Pecunioso Alessandra , Dadda Marco , Agrillo Christian
Published: August 2020

Researchers in behavioral neuroscience commonly observe the behavior of animal subjects in the presence of two alternative stimuli. However, this type of binary choice introduces a potential confound related to side biases. Understanding whether subjects exhibit this bias, and the origin of it (pre-existent or acquired throughout the experimental sessions), is particularly important to interpreting the results. Here, we tested the hypothesis according to which brain lateralization may influence the emergence of side biases in a well-known model of neuroscience, the zebrafish. As a measure of lateralization, individuals were observed in their spontaneous tendencies to monitor a potential predator with either the left or the right eye. Subjects also underwent an operant conditioning task requiring discrimination between two colors placed on the left–right axis. Although the low performance exhibited in the operant conditioning task prevents firm conclusions from being drawn, a positive correlation was found between the direction of lateralization and the tendency to select the stimulus presented on one specific side (e.g., right). The choice for this preferred side did not change throughout the experimental sessions, meaning that this side bias was not the result of the prolonged training. Overall, our study calls for a wider investigation of pre-existing lateralization biases in animal models to set up methodological counterstrategies to test individuals that do not properly work in a binary choice task with stimuli arranged on the left–right axis.
Allocation of Radiation Shielding Boards to Protect the Urban Search and Rescue Robots from Malfunctioning in the Radioactive Environments Arising from Decommissioning of the Nuclear Facility

Published: August 2020

A group of Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) works in the city’s dangerous places that are caused by natural disasters or the decommissioning of nuclear facilities such as the nuclear power plant. Consider the multi sensor platform that the USAR UGV is equipped with, protecting the sensors from the danger that dwells in the working environments is highly related to the success of the USAR mission. The radioactive working environments due to the diffusion of the radioactive materials during the decommissioning of the nuclear facilities are proposed in this work. Radiation shielding boards are used to protect the sensors by installing them on the UGV. Generally, the more shielding boards installed on the UGV, the lower the probability of the sensor malfunctioning. With a large number of UGVs that are used in missions, a large number of shielding boards are needed. Considering the cost of the boards, a conflict between the finite budget and the best protection for the UGV swarm occurs. Due to differences in environments and working times, an asymmetric allocation of shielding boards might protect the UGV swarm better than that by allocating evenly. To minimize the absorption radiation doses, two methods including competitive equilibrium analysis and integer linear programming are proposed. The performances that result from the allocation of the shielding boards by two methods with different budgets are studied.
Bounds on Relativistic Deformed Kinematics from the Physics of the Universe Transparency
Authors: Carmona José Manuel , Cortés José Luis , Pereira Lucía , Relancio José Javier
Published: August 2020

We analyze the kinematics of electron-positron production in a photon-photon interaction when one has a modification of the special relativistic kinematics as a power expansion in the inverse of a new high-energy scale. We derive the equation for the threshold energy of this reaction to first order in this expansion, including the effects due to a modification of the energy-momentum conservation equation. In contrast with the Lorentz invariance violation case, a scale of the order of a few TeV is found to be compatible with the observations of very high-energy cosmic gamma rays in the case of a modification compatible with the relativity principle.

The results obtained both in quantum chemical computation and in solvatochromic study of pyridinium di-carbethoxy methylid (PCCM) are correlated in order to estimate the electric dipole moment in the excited state of this molecule. This estimation is made by a variational method in the hypothesis that the molecular polarizability does not change in time of the absorption process. Ternary solutions of PCCM in protic binary solvents are used here, both establishing the contribution of each type of interaction to the spectral shift and to characterize the composition of the first solvation shell of PCCM. Results are compared with those obtained before for other binary solvents. The difference between the interaction energies in molecular pairs of PCCM-active solvent and PCCM-less active solvent was also estimated based on the cell statistical model of the ternary solutions.
Computing the Closest Approach Distance of Two Ellipsoids
Authors: Choi Min Gyu
Published: August 2020

This paper presents two practical methods for computing the closest approach distance of two ellipsoids in their inter-center direction. The closest approach distance is crucial for collision handling in the dynamic simulation of rigid and deformable bodies approximated with ellipsoids. To find the closest approach distance, we formulate a set of equations for two ellipsoids contacting each other externally in terms of the inter-center distance, contact point, and normal vector. The equations are solved robustly and efficiently using a hybrid of the fixed-point iteration method and bisection method with root bracketing, and a hybrid of Newton’s method and the bisection method. In addition to a stopping criterion expressed with the progress of the solution, we introduce a novel criterion expressed in terms of the error in distance. This criterion can be effectively employed in real-time applications such as computer games by allowing an unnoticeable error. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed methods in various experiments.
Dirac, Majorana, Weyl in 4D
Authors: Bonora Loriano , Soldati Roberto , Zalel Stav
Published: August 2020

This is a review of some elementary properties of Dirac, Weyl and Majorana spinors in 4D. We focus in particular on the differences between massless Dirac and Majorana fermions, on one side, and Weyl fermions, on the other. We review in detail the definition of their effective actions, when coupled to (vector and axial) gauge fields, and revisit the corresponding anomalies using the Feynman diagram method with different regularisations. Among various well known results we stress in particular the regularisation independence in perturbative approaches, while not all the regularisations fit the non-perturbative ones. As for anomalies, we highlight in particular one perhaps not so well known feature: the rigid relation between chiral and trace anomalies.
The Alphavirus Sindbis Infects Enteroendocrine Cells in the Midgut of Aedes aegypti

Published: August 2020

Transit of the arthropod-borne-virus (arbovirus) Sindbis (SINV) throughout adult female mosquitoes initiates with its attachment to the gut lumen, entry and amplification in midgut cells, followed by dissemination into the hemolymph. Free-mated adult females, aged day 5–7, were proffered a viremic blood suspension via sausage casings containing SINV-TaV-Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) at a final titer of 106 PFU/mL. Midguts (MGs) from fully engorged mosquitoes were resected on days 5 and 7 post-bloodmeal, and immunolabeled using FMRFamide antibody against enteroendocrine cells (ECs) with a TX-Red secondary antibody. Following immunolabeling, the organs were investigated via laser confocal microscopy to identify the distribution of GFP and TX-Red. Infection using this reporter virus was observed as multiple GFP expression foci along the posterior midgut (PMG) epithelium and ECs were observed as TX-Red labeled cells scattered along the entire length of the MG. Our results demonstrated that SINVGFP did infect ECs, as indicated by the overlapping GFP and TX-Red channels shown as yellow in merged images. We propose that ECs may be involved in the SINV infection pathway in the mosquito MG. Due to the unique role that ECs have in the exocytosis of secretory granules from the MG and the apical-basolateral position of ECs in the PMG monolayer, we speculate that these cells may assist as a mechanism for arboviruses to cross the gut barriers. These findings suggest that MG ECs are involved in arbovirus infection of the invertebrate host.

Published: August 2020

Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a global health challenge. Approximately 292 million people worldwide are chronically infected with HBV and the annual mortality from the infection is approaching 900,000. Despite the availability of an effective prophylactic vaccine, millions of individuals are at risk of potentially fatal complicating cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Current drug treatments can suppress viral replication, slow the progression of liver fibrosis, and reduce infectivity, but can rarely clear the viral covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) that is responsible for HBV persistence. Alternative therapeutic strategies, including those based on viral gene silencing by harnessing the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, effectively suppress HBV replication and thus hold promise. RNAi-based silencing of certain viral genes may even lead to disabling of cccDNA during chronic infection. This review summarizes different RNAi activators that have been tested against HBV, the advances with vectors used to deliver artificial potentially therapeutic RNAi sequences to the liver, and the current status of preclinical and clinical investigation.

Published: August 2020

In this study, we performed model simulations to investigate the spatial, seasonal, and annual dew yield during 40 years (1979–2018) at ten locations reflecting the variation of climate and environmental conditions in Jordan. In accordance with the climate zones in Jordan, the dew formation had distinguished characteristics features with respect to the yield, seasonal variation, and spatial variation. The highest water dew yield (an overall annual mean cumulative dew yield as high as 88 mm) was obtained for the Mountains Heights Plateau, which has a Mediterranean climate. The least dew yield (as low as 19 mm) was obtained in Badia, which has an arid climate. The dew yield had a decreasing trend in the past 40 years due to climate change impacts such as increased desertification and the potential of sand and dust storms in the region. In addition, increased anthropogenic air pollution slows down the conversion of vapor to liquid phase change, which also impacts the potential of dew formation. The dew yield showed three distinguished seasonal patterns reflecting the three climates in Jordan. The Mountains Heights Plateau (Mediterranean climate) has the highest potential for dew harvesting (especially during the summer) than Badia (semi-arid climate).
Daily Water Requirement of Container Grown Davallia bullata and Nephrolepis exaltata and Implication in Irrigation Practices
Authors: Beeson Richard C. , Kjelgren Roger , Chen Jianjun
Published: August 2020

Container crop production has become increasingly popular, but daily water requirements of those crops from transplanting to marketable or harvestable stages are largely unavailable. To address this concern, daily water consumption of two container-grown fern species, Davallia bullata and Nephrolepis exaltata from initial transplanting to marketable size were studied using a canopy closure model. Daily actual evapotranspiration (ETA) of D. bullata ranged from 4.6 mL to 76.5 mL with an average of 29.0 mL per plant per day. The mean cumulative ETA was 13.2 L during 431 days of production spanning from 8 November 2006 to 4 February 2008. Two crops of N. exaltata were produced. Daily ETA per N. exaltata plant produced in crop 1 varied from 19.0 to 241.2 mL with an average of 69.5 mL, and daily ETA of crop 2 differed from 5.7 to 136.8 mL with a mean of 74.0 mL. Both crops had a cumulative ETA of 9.4 L. Such differences in daily ETA and cumulative ETA between the two fern species raised further concern of irrigation practices in commercial foliage plant production as multiple species are commonly produced in one greenhouse and share the same irrigation schedule. Comparing daily ETA and cumulative ETA values of the ferns with the other studied foliage plants indicated that daily ETA and cumulative ETA are species specific. Therefore, to improve irrigation efficiency, daily ETA and cumulative ETA values of major container-grown plants should be established. Implementing the research-based daily ETA and cumulative ETA in container plant production should reduce irrigation water leaching and runoff and conserving freshwater resources.

The research method used is empirical juridical research, namely legal research conducted by examining directly to the field where the object under study is by direct observation of the 5 (five) State Procurement; Medan, Lubuk Pakam, Binjai, Stabat, Tanjung Balai. Preliminary data on the success of national mediation in 2017 in the MA Case Search Information System (SIPP) is only around 4.14%. The amount is a combination of mediation success in the general court and religious court. The 4.14% success data is based on real data that was successfully displayed in the mediation report menu at SIPP MA. The data source was drawn from the local SIPP of each court in Indonesia. From the description above, it can be understood that mediation is a necessity that must be applied by the judiciary in order to settle disputes peacefully, the application of the principle of justice fast, low cost and simple, and to suppress the accumulation of cases that occur. Data on mediation in successful trials nationwide is less than 4%. Mediation that was expected to be an alternative solution turned out to be devoid of achievement. As a Suggestion For judges appointed as mediators must change the mindset that, the implementation of this mediation is not just to carry out an anich rules, but further than that is that dispute resolution between parties who are parties can be carried out by peaceful means based on agreement.

The principle of the pacta sun servanda agreement stating that the agreement made by the parties to the agreement, will be the law for both, remains in force and becomes the main hope in the law of the agreement. But the agreement that provides fiduciary guarantees under the hand cannot be executed. The execution process must be carried out by submitting a lawsuit to the Negri Court through normal procedural law so that the court's ruling decreases. This paper aims to analyze or examine the legal arrangements for the taking of movable objects as objects of leasing financing and criminal liability for the actions of taking movable objects as objects of leasing financing. The results of this study indicate that criminal policies against financial institutions in the execution of fiduciary guarantees by debt collectors who have changed hands under the law number 42 of 199 concerning fiduciary guarantees to ensure legal certainty are made akata by the notary public and registered with the fiduciary office. Law enforcement against leasing parties in withdrawing fiduciary collateral by debt collectors based on law number 42 of 1999 concerning fiduciary explains that the right of execution is the authority of the court, not the authority of the seller of debt collection services that are usually leased by the leasing party.

Published: August 2020

Introduction: The relationship between caregivers and patients plays a vital role in providing effective care. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of group logo therapy on the burden of hemodialysis patients’ caregivers. Patients and Methods: The present research was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. The study population was all caregivers of hemodialysis patients in Qazvin. The sample of this study consisted of 100 caregivers (50 participants in the intervention group and 50 participants in the control group) who were selected according to the inclusion criteria and then randomly allocated in two groups. After the initial evaluation of burden in both groups, 10 sessions, (90 minutes for each session) logo therapy was conducted for intervention group. Immediately after the end of the course and one month later, the intensity of caregiver burden in both groups was measured. The data collection tools were demographic questionnaires for the patient and caregiver and the Zarit Burden Interview. Results: In this study we found, the intervention group with a mean score of 44.6±7.4 and the control group with a mean score of 44.8±5.38 experienced severe burden. Regarding the effect of logo therapy on caregiver burden, the results showed that the mean score of burden before the intervention was 44.6±7.4 and immediately after the intervention and one month later were 37.2±12.6 and 2.14±6.34, respectively (P<0.001). Conclusion: The findings showed the positive effect of group logo therapy on reducing the burden of hemodialysis patients’ caregivers. Considering the high level of caregiver burden, it appears that the application of logo therapy in educational programs for dialysis centers is necessary to reduce the caregiver burden and improve the quality of life.
Epigenetic Poverty, Coloniality and Intervention Bioethics in Latin America
Authors: Grisolia Cesar Koppe , Garrafa Volnei
Published: August 2020

Numerous studies have documented a relationship between changes in gene expression and biosocial factors. For example, Nr3c1, Ppara, and IGF2 expression alter as a result of poverty-induced biosocial pressures. Such epigenetic changes have already been identified in children born into poor households and children born to malnourished mothers. This study presents an ethical discussion of poverty in Latin America caused by social exclusion and economic exploitation of natural resources by developed countries. Intervention bioethics (IB), a critical purpose for new epistemological territorialism, was developed in Latin America and is based mainly on coloniality studies. This persistent situation exemplifies the relationship of oppression and dependence of peripheral countries on central countries. The inherent social inequality results in perpetual poverty, which in turn leaves epigenetic marks in the genome. We discuss how lower socioeconomic status can cause changes in the DNAmethylation pattern. Intervention bioethics advocates that the State must be more effective in making decisions in favor of excluded populations, thus establishing minimum income policies. In Latin America, the majority of the population is poor.

Published: August 2020

Belonging to a health profession requires an understanding of the ethical problems faced by its members. Chromosomal pathologies are very rare among live births; which does not give them priority for public health in developing countries, however these pathologies exist and can affect any family. The present study first describes patients with chromosomal pathologies in the population of western Algeria. The second step proposes to think about applying ethical principles to the practice of cytogenetics. We carried out a study by a triangulation of the sources of information: The study of files, the prospection in the international bioethical literature and the research in the authorized texts as well as the international instruments. This type of approach makes it possible to reflect on the border between ethics and law. Ethical reflection on this subject therefore appears essential to attract attention to these patients in order to give them a better place in our society.

A partir de la noción de estrategias adaptativas, este documento tiene por objetivo realizar un análisis cuantitativo de los procesos de movilidad laboral y reconversión productiva en el municipio de Atlacomulco, Estado de México. Con el interés de tener un acercamiento a la experiencia de las personas involucradas en dichos procesos, a través de una indagatoria de cualitativa en la comunidad de San Antonio, se analiza la relación entre la movilidad hacia Milpa Alta y el cultivo del nopal, así como los procesos de retorno de Estados Unidos y el cultivo de nopal y jitomate. El breve análisis realizado muestra que las personas que participan en procesos de movilidad laboral se involucran en procesos de aprendizaje y adaptabilidad a los distintos mercados laborales en los que se insertan. Esto favorece su participación en procesos de reconversión productiva ante la falta de alternativas laborales, aunque no exenta de dificultades. De tal forma, estamos ante una presencia constante de estrategias adaptativas a lo largo del tiempo, en algunos casos vinculadas y que se vuelven indispensables para poder solventar los gastos de los hogares rurales.
“Llegando a las scho-u-elas mexicanas”. Incorporación e integración escolar en Tijuana y Cuernavaca de niños con experiencia migratoria en Estados Unidos
Authors: Aguilar Zepeda Rodrigo
Published: August 2020

La migración hacia México de niños de edad con experiencia migratoria entre México y Estados Unidos alcanzó su pico en el año 2010. Este artículo tiene la finalidad de analizar y comparar la forma en que niños con experiencia migratoria se incorporan e integran al sistema escolar mexicano en dos ciudades, Tijuana, Baja California y Cuernavaca, Morelos. A través de una estrategia metodológica de corte cualitativo se analizan y comparan las experiencias de incorporación e integración. Un resultado es que, en ambas ciudades, no hay evidencia de un impacto negativo entre ser niño con experiencia migratoria y su proceso de incorporación e integración escolar, aun cuando haya alta movilidad. Uno de los principales problemas en el proceso de integración es el idioma.
Leyes migratorias mexicanas y la emergencia de la ruta Pacífico como zona de tránsito de migrantes: su paso por Sinaloa
Authors: Mendoza Guerrero Juan Manuel
Published: August 2020

La migración de tránsito que pasa por la ruta Pacífico mexicana es una ventana para ver cómo el desplazamiento humano está construyendo la globalización y viceversa, en tanto se trata de un fenómeno global cuyas características son el riesgo y el no lugar para los colectivos humanos que no encuentran acomodo social y económico en ninguna parte. Apoyado por fuentes secundarias, así como consulta de periódicos, documentos gubernamentales e historia oral, este artículo encuentra que los migrantes de tránsito irregular que cruzan por México están atrapados debido a su calidad de Homo Sacer, entendido esto último como una persona que está fuera de la jurisdicción de un Estado. Las leyes migratorias mexicanas coadyuvan a que esta situación se mantenga y empeore en tanto no deje de criminalizarse por medio de la legislación a la pobreza. Pero los migrantes de tránsito, como sujetos y actores de su destino, se defienden tanto a través de su palabra que montada en las redes virtuales llega a todo el mundo, como por medio de la solidaridad de la sociedad civil mexicana.

El consumo de alcohol es considerado un problema creciente de salud pública, contribuyendo de forma importante a la carga mundial de morbilidad. Objetivo: Analizar la relación de la permisividad social, la espiritualidad y la ingesta de bebidas alcohólicas en adolescentes. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo correlacional realizado en 213 adolescentes de una institución pública de educación básica de Ciudad del Carmen Campeche. Para la recolección de la información se utilizó la escala de Permisividad Social y la Escala de Espiritualidad, la captura y análisis se realizó en el programa estadístico SPSS V 21 a través de la estadística descriptiva e inferencial. Como resultados tenemos que los adolescentes consideran que sus amigos piensan que está mal emborracharse (80.8%) y drogarse (79.3%), pero también el 62% manifestó que tiene un familiar que bebe hasta emborracharse. En relación con la espiritualidad el 79.3% considera que, si tiene fe en un poder más grande que el mismo, 70.5% si cree que exista una fuerza espiritual que pueda ayudarlo con sus problemas y el 54% considera que meditar o rezar le ayuda mucho. Se identificó una relación positiva y significativa de la permisividad social y el consumo de alcohol (rs= .194, p=.007) y una relación negativa de la espiritualidad y la ingesta de bebidas alcohólicas (rs=-. 190, p=.009). Estos hallazgos ponen en evidencia la influencia de determinadas variables que deben considerarse para el diseño e implementación de intervenciones de enfermería y poder reducir los daños biológicos, psicológicos y sociales a corto, mediano y largo plazo.

En México existe una transición epidemiológica donde la población de adultos mayores aumenta de manera exponencial a la vez que aumentan las enfermedades no transmisibles y otras situaciones de salud importantes como depresión, baja autoestima, soledad y desesperanza. Frente a este panorama, los programas de salud promueven acciones de promoción de la salud y prevención de la enfermedad, enfatizando en la realización de ejercicio como una estrategia básica para prevenir enfermedades crónicas. Se planteó la pregunta: ¿Cuál es el efecto de un programa de ejercicios controlado, gradual, progresivo y de bajo impacto cardiovascular en un grupo de adultos mayores sobre los afectos positivos y negativos? Ensayo clínico aleatorizado y controlado con intervención simple ciego en dos grupos equivalentes (experimental y control), bajo un modelo de mediciones repetidas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 45 sujetos. Se seleccionaron adultos mayores de 60 a 70 años, de ambos sexos, sin riesgo cardiaco; se excluyeron aquellos con patologías que pudieran causar limitaciones en la funcionalidad músculo esquelético o cardiopulmonar. La intervención consistió en la realización de ejercicio de forma gradual y progresiva, con una frecuencia de 3 veces por semana durante 10 semanas. El instrumento utilizado para evaluar los afectos positivos y negativos fue el PANAS. Ingresaron al grupo control 22 adultos mayores (edad 66.6± 6.14) y al grupo experimental 23 adultos mayores (edad 67.0± 7.19); completaron el programa 38 adultos mayores. En ambos grupos predominaron las mujeres (66.7%), el nivel socioeconómico medio (73.3%) y escolaridad básica (44.6%). No existió diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los grupos antes de la intervención, en contraste, después de la intervención de ejercicio existió diferencia significativa de ambos grupos, observando un incremento en los afectos positivos y disminución de afectos negativos en el grupo experimental y un comportamiento inversamente proporcional en el grupo control. El programa de ejercicio de bajo impacto de intensidad gradual y progresiva de 10 semanas y 3 sesiones por semana, probó ser efectivo para aumentar los afectos positivos y disminuir los efectos negativos en el grupo experimental de adultos mayores.

Los embarazos no planeados son un problema de salud reproductiva principalmente en países en desarrollo. El uso de métodos anticonceptivos de forma correcta y sostenida (conducta anticonceptiva), es un factor clave para mejorar la salud principalmente de mujeres y niños, dado que reducirían significativamente las mortalidad materna e infantil, los abortos en condiciones en riesgo y los problemas de salud en niños menores de cinco años. Existen muchos factores que se asocian a una conducta anticonceptiva de riesgo, sin embargo, gran parte de la literatura sobre anticoncepción se ha centrado en las características demográficas, cognitivas o conductuales de las mujeres en riesgo. El fenómeno de la anticoncepción es muy complejo, por lo que es necesario e importante considerar aspectos sobre los factores ambientales y sociales que influyen en las elecciones individuales de la anticoncepción. Por lo tanto, es necesario analizar la anticoncepción desde una perspectiva más amplia que permita integrar aspectos sociales y culturales. El propósito de este estudio es describir los factores que influyen en la conducta anticonceptiva desde el modelo ecológico. La perspectiva ecológica ha resultado útil para ampliar la comprensión de una serie de problemas sociales y de salud complejos, como lo es la conducta anticonceptiva, dado que integra estructuras sociales que influyen directa o indirectamente en el uso o no uso de los métodos anticonceptivos.

La comprensión de la conducta de consumo o no consumo de alcohol en los jóvenes se considera compleja y una forma de presentar explicaciones específicas del fenómeno es por derivación de teoría. Objetivo: presentar una derivación teórica y proponer un modelo explicativo sobre la conducta de consumo y no consumo de alcohol en jóvenes del área rural y urbana. Método: se realizó una derivación teórica mediante la metodología propuesta por Walker y Avant y la construcción de la estructura conceptual- teórico-empírica descrita por Fawcett. Resultados: se obtuvo el modelo explicativo sobre la conducta de consumo y no consumo de alcohol. Conclusiones: el modelo puede ser útil para explicar e identificar los factores que influyen en el inicio de la conducta de consumo o no consumo de alcohol en jóvenes.
