Why We Post
Authors: Haapio-Kirk Laura
Published: December 2017

Based on ethnographic research on digital learning from the Why We Post project at UCL Anthropology, this paper outlines how academic insights can benefit pedagogy, reaching beyond traditional modes of education towards public engagement. The paper demonstrates how a spectrum of digital dissemination, ranging from the academic (such as journal papers) to the public (such as a website and MOOC), can transform anthropological research into global education at the same time as maintaining intellectual integrity. In an uncertain world, fear of 'the other' and anxiety around the rapid rise of technology permeates public discourse. Anthropological education offers an antidote by focussing on the culturally-constructed nature of dynamic phenomena shaping our world. In order to shift wider perspectives towards an appreciation of cultural diversity, this paper argues that public anthropology needs to be held in higher regard within the discipline.
The Afterlife of Anthropological Teaching
Authors: Stefanelli Alice
Published: December 2017

Teaching anthropology in higher education is faced today with the urgent issue of students’ increasing disengagement with the discipline, in itself a consequence of the ongoing liberalisation and precarisation of academia. This presents us with the often neglected risk of losing our ‘legs’, as disinterested graduates are unlikely to carry with them any anthropological ideas or ethos to which they might have been exposed at university. This article argues that one important way to counter this scenario is focusing on teaching anthropology-as-praxis (Comaroff, 2010), in order to encourage an appreciation of the discipline as a pragmatic attitude towards the world that can be applied to a full range of everyday experiences unfolding outside the classroom and academia.
Teaching Anthropological Concepts of Race in Higher Education
Authors: Dozier Crystal A
Published: December 2017

Racialism is the belief that humans can be divided into distinct races that are biological fact and can determine many traits of individuals.  This concept, while persistent, has been refuted by biological and social science, which indicates that the cultural conception of race is neither a biological reality nor determinant. The discipline of anthropology is well positioned to explain nuances in biological and cultural diversity, but employing the most effective strategies to teach these important, and sometimes controversial, concepts is crucial. Patterns and Efficacy in Teaching Concepts of Race in Anthropology (PETCRA) surveyed nearly 300 undergraduate students in introductory anthropology courses at a predominantly white institution in the United States. Students were given two surveys, before and after instruction, to determine their perception of race. The pre- and post-instructional surveys asked students simple conceptual questions about race, about their own experience of race, and demographic information; the post-survey included questions about the instruction in this subject area. While many students started with racialist perspectives, statistically significant numbers of students adopted a more anthropological view after instruction. Including videos with lecture resulted in statistically significant improvement in students’ answers. Student racial identity development is discussed as an important component for understanding this complex topic, especially within predominately white institutions. This research underscores the importance of evidence-based pedagogical choices in diversity instruction.
Opening up the Echo Chamber
Authors: Klein Charles Howard
Published: December 2017

In recent years, political discussion and social life are increasingly concentrating in face-to-face and online echo chambers composed of individuals with similar world views. This segmentation of civil society has stymied in-depth and respectful communication across ideological difference and in the process contributed to the divisiveness that characterizes political discourse across the globe. In this article, I examine how anthropological learning and teaching can help open up these echo chambers and promote cultural empathy and cross-ideological communication. My discussion focuses on three methodologies I use in my undergraduate-level Culture, Health and Healing course – weekly critical analyses on contemporary health issues, an in-class illness narrative exercise, and a term-long public service announcement project. For each, I describe the pedagogy, present examples of how the assignment or activity plays out in the classroom, and consider how these pedagogies work toward increasing cross-cultural/ideological understanding and communication. I argue that through unsettling students’ default frameworks for thinking, reflexive and emotionally engaged anthropological teaching and learning can play important roles in laying the epistemological, affective, and ethical foundations for future professionals and engaged community members in today’s contentious times.

Published: December 2017

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of different types and
concentration of kombucha inoculum on content of sugar, organic acids and
ethanol in the fermented beverages produced from milk of 0.9% fat content.
Three different kombucha inoculums, cultivated on black tea with addition of
sucrose: standard inoculum - 10% (w/w) and 15% (w/w), concentrated by
microfiltration- 10% (w/w) and 15% (w/w), and concentrated by evaporation -
1.5% (w/w) and 3.0% (w/w), were applied in the manufacture of fermented milk.
Contents of lactose, galactose, glucose, fructose, organic acids, and ethanol
in the kombuha fermented milk beverages were determined by the enzyme tests.
It was found that the lactose content varied from 3.30 to 4.0 g/100g. All
samples showed higher content glucose than fructose. The content of L-lactic
acid in the samples ranged from 0.4 to 0.7 g/100g, while significantly lower
level of D-lactic and acetic acid were determined in all samples of kombucha
fermented milk (<0.06g/100g).
Molecular docking analysis of newly synthesized 2- morpholinoquinoline derivatives with antifungal potential toward Aspergillus fumigatus

Published: December 2017

The present paper is concerned with the molecular docking analysis of newly
synthesized 2-morpholinoquinoline derivatives with antifungal potential
toward Aspergillus fumigatus. The purpose of the molecular docking analysis
was to determine potential interactions between the analyzed compounds and
the active site of the enzyme glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, as well as to
reveal which molecular features (the presence of different substituents or
isomers) could be responsible for significant antifungal activity of the
tested compounds. The compounds with the highest antifungal potential toward
pathogenic and saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus were docked, and the
results were compared with the docking of griseofulvin, which is an
antifungal drug used in the treatment of various types of dermatophytoses.
Newly discovered antifungal agents are very important in medicine, as well as
in agriculture. The prevention of the presence of mycotoxins in food and feed
products is one of the urgent tasks. Therefore, every effort which leads to
discovery of their mechanism of action and determination of side effects is
precious. The present study can be considered a contribution to the analysis
and selection of newly discovered antifungals from the 2-morpholinoquinoline
family, and one step forward to their practical use in medicine and
agriculture. The obtained results reveal the possible reason why the newly
synthesized 2-morpholinoquinoline expresses even higher antifungal activity
toward Aspergillus fumigatus than griseofulvin, a commercially available
antifungal therapeutic.

Published: December 2017

The application of antifungal compounds produced by microorganisms in the
control of plant diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi is a promising
alternative to synthetic pesticides. Among phytopathogenic fungi, Alternaria
alternata and Fusarium avenaceum are significant pathogens responsible for
the storage rot of apple fruits. During storage, transport and marketing A.
alternata and F. avenaceum can cause significant losses of apple fruits and
their control is of great importance for the producers and consumers. In the
present study, the effects of agitation rate on the production of antifungal
methabolite( s) by Streptomyces hygroscopicus in a 3-L lab-scale bioreactor
(Biostat? Aplus, Sartorius AG, Germany) against two isolates of A. alternata
and two isolates of F. avenaceum were investigated. The cultivation of S.
hygroscopicus was carried out at 27?C with agitation rates of 100 rpm and
200 rpm during 7 days. The aim was to analyze the bioprocess parameters of
biofungicide production in a medium containing glycerol as a carbon source,
and examine the effect of agitation rate on the production of antifungal
metabolite(s). The in vitro antifungal activity of the produced metabolites
against fungi from the genera Alternaria and Fusarium grown on potato
dextrose agar medium was determined every 24 h using wells technique. In the
experiments conducted in the bioreactor at different stirring speeds, it was
found that the maximum production of antifungal metabolites occurred after 96
hours of cultivation. A higher consumption of nutrients and a larger
inhibition zone diameter was registered in the experiment with an agitation
rate of 200 rpm.
What are the treatment effects of a work-first participation programme on young unemployed people in the Netherlands?
Authors: Juznik-Rotar Laura
Published: December 2017

This paper evaluates the effects of the employment programme on young
unemployed people in the Netherlands. The effectiveness of the programme is
measured by probability of both re-employment and participation within the
regular educational system. This evaluation is made in comparison to that of
an individual who would continue seeking employment as an openly unemployed
person. The effects of the programme are evaluated a year/two years following
the start of the programme. We apply a propensity score matching method. The
identification of an average treatment effect is based on the conditional
independence assumption. The effects on re-employment probability and the
probability of participation in the regular educational system are
statistically negative, applicable to both long and short-term scenarios.

Published: December 2017

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this study was to determine whether plasma levels of advanced glycation end products (AGE) and oxidation products (OP) predict the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 2 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Five specific AGE (methylglyoxal hydroimidazolone, carboxymethyl lysine, carboxyethyl lysine, 3-deoxyglucosone hydroimidazolone, and glyoxal hydroimidazolone) and two OP (2-aminoadipic acid and methionine sulfoxide [MetSO]) were measured at baseline in two intensive glucose-lowering studies: 1) a subcohort of the Veterans Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT) (n = 445) and 2) a nested case-control subgroup from the Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study (n = 271).

RESULTS

Increased levels of several AGE and OP were associated with older age, decreased kidney function, previous CVD, and longer diabetes duration, but not with hemoglobin A1c. In the VADT, increased risk of incident CVD events (n = 107) was associated with lower MetSO after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, sex, prior CVD event, kidney function, treatment assignment, and diabetes duration (hazard ratio [HR] 0.53; 95% CI 0.28–0.99; P = 0.047). Individuals with both low MetSO and high 3-deoxyglucosone hydroimidazolone concentrations were at highest risk for CVD (HR 1.70; P = 0.01). In the ACCORD study, those with incident CVD events (n = 136) had lower MetSO (by 14%; P = 0.007) and higher glyoxal hydroimidazolone and carboxymethyl lysine (by 18% and 15%, respectively; P = 0.04 for both); however, only the difference in MetSO remained significant after adjustment for prior CVD event (P = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONS

Lower levels of MetSO and higher levels of select AGE are associated with increased incident CVD and may help account for the limited benefit of intensive glucose lowering in type 2 diabetes.

Gauging The Hospitality Industry’s Awareness and Commitment to Sustainability Practices: The Case of the Hospitality Industry in Muscat
Authors: Byrne Robyn , Abdul-Ghani Mohamed
Published: December 2017

Oman is an emerging destination for green tourism, its slogan “beauty has an address”, illuminates its attempt to brand itself as a destination for unique, cultural and environmental attractions. Oman’s heritage is promoted along-side its natural beauty. As the hospitality sector in the capital city “Muscat” plans to expand and scale up its demographic to attract more high-end tourists as well as the overall volume of tourists it welcomes, this study aims (1) to explore to what degree hotels in the capital city “Muscat” recognizes the environmental impacts of their economic choices, (2) to determine which of the numerous environmental considerations are most widely adopted, and finally, (3) to highlight some perspectives from policy makers and major tourism stakeholders in Oman about current sustainability trends and future goals regarding environmental management. While the Sultanate has conducted a number of government studies of general tourism statistics, more effort is being exerted to ambitiously bring international tourists ‘attention to visit Oman. Given the paucity of literature on tourism in Oman, and Omani government’s commitment to a sustainable path of development, this study seeks to supplement the existing work on “green” and “environmentally conscious” tourism by focusing on this country of great and ambitious sustainable tourism development plans with applications on its capital city “Muscat” growing hospitality industry.
The Right to Litigation as a Prisoner Serving Sentence
Authors: Al Balushi Rashid Hamed
Published: December 2017

In the Sultanate of Oman, as well as many other countries around the world, the treatment of prisoners underwent many similar stages of change. The most popular form of punishment was inflicting bodily harm, a punishment solely based on condemning the convicted more than enforcing actual reform and change. This approach in return created an atmosphere of lack of education and knowledge in the prison system, however this situation changed when a new era dawned on the Sultanate, on the 23rd of November 1970, led by His Highness Sultan Qaboos bin Said, providing a new approach to the system of prisons and rule of punishments. This change was brought forth and delegated by the country’s Penal Code 1974/7, Prison Law 94/48, Penal Code Procedures 1999/97s and the Prison law implementing regulations guide 2009/56 on the enforcement of penalties. This research will shed light on the issue of claiming the right to litigate as a fundamental right for prisoners when serving their sentence as the right to bring forth a legal action is one of the most important civil rights a prisoner can have when serving their sentence; a right that is also embedded in the country’s basic statue for every citizen and resident. This involves giving the prisoner access to contact judicial authorities or a defense representative. The research will approach this matter as a whole by clarifying the main issue and factors involved with reference to the law. The research is divided into three main discussion areas, the first being the prisoner’s right to contact judicial authorities for defense during the enforcement of their penalty. The second area will study the prisoner’s right on interpleading in penal enforcement, whilst the third will examine the prisoner’s right to appeal Supreme Court, the right to judicial review made while the prisoner is still serving their current sentence. The research will conclude with my findings as well as recommendations.
The Reality of Quality Management in Jordanian Media Institutions
Authors: Tweissi Basim.m. , Suleiman Raid Jameel
Published: December 2017

This study aimed at identifying the reality of quality management in twenty Jordanian media institutions with respect to the type of media outlet, and its size along with its ownership. Divided into six essential dimensions, this study identified the features of internal processes in those media institutions as follows: institutional selforganization; training and professional qualification; editorial policies along with newsroom management; media independency, media questioning; and sustainable improvement, development, and updating the infrastructure and means of production. The study adopted an analytical and descriptive approach. As the instrument of the study, a sampling survey, designed based on the related literature of the quality of service sector, and that of performance and media professionalism, measured sixty-four minor indicators, covering those six dimensions. The sample included interviews --three interviews were carried out in every institution. By way of concluding, this study revealed a decline in most indicators applying quality. In particular, among the most applicable quality dimensions were developing and updating the infrastructure structure and the means of production, and finally institutional self-organization. On the other hand, the lowest applicable dimensions were independency, editorial policies and newsroom management.

Morphology of the Raised Shore Platforms along the Coastline between Daghmar and Dhabab, Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Al Hatrushi Salim Mubarak
Published: December 2017

Raised shore platforms, are rocky surfaces formed by wave action and subaerial weathering during global high sea level stands. The present height of the raised shore platforms is attributed to several factors, mainly to eustatic sea level changes, isostatic changes in the relative level of land and sea, and vertical tectonic activities. The aim of this study is to investigate the detailed morphology of the raised shore platform along the rocky coastline between Daghmar and Dhabab, in the southeastern part of Muscat Governorate. The study also intends to establish a tentative chronology of the raised shore platforms development. The methodology is based on field observation and documentation, along with satellite and aerial photographs analysis. The results have shown that the study area has a sequence of five successive, well developed raised shore platforms and well preserved, except the platform at 10m altitude which is only found in isolated fragments. The formation of the raised shore platforms has been affected by a number of constructive factors including tectonic activity, and destructive factors such as fluvial action and subaerial weathering. No absolute dating has been reported or can be obtained from the study area, due to its erosional nature. However, dating from the shorelines adjacent to the study area, ranging in heights from 3 to 15m above sea level, revealed a narrow range of 26,400 to 29,600 years. This period coincides with the last glaciations when the sea level was at about 75m below the present level, and thus did not match with the altitudes of the platforms. This suggests that the platforms could be belong to the last interglacial high sea level, when the sea level stood at about 6m above the present level. Based on this scenario, the study concludes that the coastline of the study area has not experienced any significant uplift during the Late Quaternary.
The Role of Mass Communication in the Parliamentary Elections’ Campaigns in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 2014: A Field Study
Authors: Abdullah Ali Ahmed , Elghobashy Shoaib Abdelmoneim
Published: December 2017

This study aimed at identifying the nature of the communication methods used in the election campaigns by the members of the Bahraini parliament who won the membership of the 2014 election. It also explored to what extent these members had adopted various types of communication in their campaigns and had taken into account cultural, social, and political diversity of the public in choosing the means of communication methods. It also investigates how parliamentary members used to measure public reaction to their media messages during their election campaigns and how they measured the effectiveness of these communication methods as the basis for their success of their campaigns. The qualitative descriptive approach was followed using a structured questionnaire consisting of 29 items of which the validity and reliability were assured. This instrument was administered to 39 out of the 40 Bahraini parliament members during an individual meeting. The Statistical Package of the Social Sciences SPSS was used for data analysis. The results of the data analysis revealed that the Instagram and WhatsApp were the most effective means of social communication used by the members in their campaigns. It was found that the radio and TV were the least used means by the members. In addition, in terms of demographic age groups, it was revealed that adolescents received the most attention from the members as a target audience. This is in contrast to children who, as an audience, received the least attention.
The Poetics of Water in the Collection of Poems entitled “Running Water Betrays the Puddles” By the Omani Poet Awadh Al- Luweihi
Authors: Al- Dhmour Imad Abdel-Wahab , Salem Al Mozayedeh Ismaeel Suleyman
Published: December 2017

Water appears in modern Arabic poetry as a semantically distinguished and rich structural component where meanings expand and ideas flow. And this, in turn, enriches the poet’s imagination and fulfils his desire to depict his life experience using creative visions. This study aims to examine the poetics of water in the work of the Omani poet Awadh Al- Luweihi, namely his collection of poems entitled “Running Water Betrays the Puddles” which explicitly embodies the contemporary poet’s ability to open new poetic horizons in which rich vocabulary provides texts with new connotations that enjoy an obvious intellectual dimension, and mature artistic craft which creates images and different themes and connotations. The poet’s reliance on the concept of “water” in composing his poetry shows the impact of this poetic theme and its role in the understanding of the poetic self and the ability of portraying life with all its contrasts.
PENELUSURAN SISTEM KEPERCAYAAN SUKU DOHOI (ANAK SUKU OT DANUM) DI TUMBANG SAMBA KABUPATEN KATINGAN KALIMANTAN TENGAH

Published: December 2017

This research started from the desire to do Da'wah Islamiyah to the inland residents of Central Kalimantan, especially to the Dayaks who have the power of Exotic Drag to be studied and dii through the door of their social culture. Actually the belief system is a form of human conquest of humanity to something great, all-powerful and all-great. The Dohoi tribe that is part of the Ot Danak Dayak tribe has a peculiarity in the order of life of his belief, although they have adherence to the Dayak conviction of Kaharingan belief. The Dohoi tribe as adherents of the Helu religion (ancient religion) continue to hold rituals of Kaharingan faith even though they have embraced other religions such as Protestant, Catholic and Moslem. It is interesting to examine in order to express their strong sense of belief and has survived almost 2 centuries of Kaharingan faith development by its adherents in Central Kalimantan. The results showed that the Dohoi tribe is a follower of syncretism in which their beliefs (Kaharingan) are believed to be the dominant religious teachings they use ie Hindu, Buddhist, Christian / Catholic and Moslem.

Rol estratégico de la cultura organizacional y el liderazgo en la gestión del cambio de la universidad peruana
Authors: Angulo Herrera Pedro , Angulo Alvarado Pedro J. , Huamán Huayta Ludencino
Published: December 2017

La política de aseguramiento de la calidad a través del licenciamiento, la acreditación y la mejora continua, introducen en la universidad un nuevo modelo de gestión orientado a la cultura de calidad; este proceso de cambio es complejo y requiere de una cultura organizacional con estrategas y directivos con liderazgo de calidad. La política nacional de modernización de la gestión pública indica que para tener éxito en el proceso de transformación hacia una entidad moderna se tiene que gestionar el cambio y éste se debe anclar en la cultura organizacional. ¿Qué es la cultura organizacional y cuál es su rol en la universidad? La cultura organizacional está considerada como un factor estratégico en las organizaciones por medio del cual se puede mejorar el vínculo con el entorno e influenciar sobre la sociedad; pero también, es un factor integrador de la dinámica interna institucional (planificación, gestión, mejora continua, cultura de calidad, etc.). Sin embargo, la cultura organizacional es casi desconocida en las instituciones educativas. La universidad tiene la tarea de caracterizar y diagnosticar su cultura como punto de partida para la implementación de un programa que contribuya a su internalización en los estudiantes, docentes y administrativos; de no hacerlo corre el riesgo de contar con una gran barrera para su adaptación al nuevo entorno académico competitivo. Aquí presentamos una estrategia para el proceso de cambio de la universidad sobre la base de un nuevo modelo de cultura organizacional para lo cual se requiere del diseño de una agenda de aprendizaje, experimentar y practicar con nuevos principios, valores, hábitos, conductas, comportamientos, competencias, creencias, etc., pero también, se requiere del compromiso de cambio e involucramiento de la alta dirección, lo que podría asegurar la implementación y mejora sostenible del sistema integrado de gestión de calidad.

Para el logro del objetivo planteado, acudimos a al método hermenéutico y fenomenológico dialéctico. El primero nos ayudó a la interpretación de las categorías, base teórica incluso los resultados. El segundo, nos fue útil para ponerle pausa, un epojé al estudio en camino. Los resultados obtenidos como producto del uso de los métodos utilizados (al cual se suman las técnicas y los instrumentos) fueron: Existe una relación muy significativa entre el escepticismo epistemológico en las matemáticas con el principio de complejidad de los números primos. Existe una relación muy significativa entre la filosofía de las matemáticas; con el  principio de complejidad de los números primos. La relación entre el escepticismo epistemológico en las matemáticas y la incertidumbre del origen de los números primos es muy significativo. La relación entre la fecundidad de los errores de las matemáticas con la incertidumbre del  origen de los primos es  muy significativo. Existe una relación muy significativa  de la actitud filosófica y la actitud científica con la utilidad científica y tecnológica de los números primos. Finalmente, la fundamental conclusión es: se estableció que entre el escepticismo epistemológico en las matemáticas y la naturaleza “caótica” de los números primos existe una relación significativa y muy significativa.

Authors: Bruno Francesco
Published: December 2017

The paper reflects on the impact of the counter-terror agenda on humanitarian actions. It explores the socio-political and legal implications and constraints that Non-Governmental Organisations incur when managing humanitarian projects in critical environments such as Somalia where, an important famine stroke in 2011 as consequence of the counter-terror agenda, insecurity and politicization. In the case of Somalia, Al-Shabaab, a group well-known to the international authority as affiliated to Al-Qaeda was in charge of the area in which the famine stroke. The dilemma to consider in this paper is  paper is related to the binomial situation between the people in need and the counter-terrorism strategy against Al-Shabaab.The paper outlines three issues that the humanitarian actors incur, namely structural, operational and of internal nature. These three issues undermines the relationship between the Humanitarian actors and the donors as well as between humanitarian actors and their recipients. At the end, the relationship continues to be highly controversial.
DESBROZANDO MITOS: AMÉRICA LATINA Y CHILE ANTE LA GUERRA DEL ATLÁNTICO SUR

La acción chilena ante la guerra del Atlántico Sur (1982) es un tema discutido en la historia de las relaciones internacionales latinoamericanas. Presentada por la historiografia argentina, a partir de un enfoque parcial y tendencioso, como una ‘traición’ ala ‘amistad’ chileno-argentina y a la unidad regional en torno a la cuestión de Malvinas, la actitud de Chile en 1982 es un elemento subyacente en las visiones recíprocas de ambos países. La principal dificultad de esta perspectiva es que se funda en dosmitos que deben ser aclarados: el apoyo continental a la acción militar argentina y la excepcionalidad de la conducta chilena. Posteriormente, esclareceré el alcance de la acción chilena y las causas que la determinaron.

Introducción: la mayoría de los adolescentes usa Internet sin que esto repercuta en su salud; sin embargo, algunos pueden presentar pérdida de control sobre la manera en la que utilizan este medio, lo que conlleva a un uso problemático que puede derivar en adicción. Objetivo: identificar los tipos de uso de Internet en estudiantes de secundaria y bachillerato, sus posibles causas y su relación con la impulsividad. Método: se realizó un estudio observacional, transversal, analítico y ex post facto en una muestra estratificada de 123 estudiantes de secundaria y 125 de bachillerato, de entre 12 y 18 años de edad, inscritos en dos escuelas de Xalapa, Veracruz, México; se utilizó la prueba de Adicción a Internet de Young en español. Resultados: 83% de los estudiantes presentó control sobre el uso de Internet, 17% mostró un uso problemático y no se encontró adicción a la red. El uso problemático fue mayor entre los estudiantes de secundaria (23%), que entre los de bachillerato (10%). La impulsividad no fue estadísticamente significativa para presentar un uso problemático, pero sí lo fueron indicadores como estar conectado más de seis horas y el empleo exclusivo de Internet para consultar y relacionarse en las redes sociales. Discusión: no se encontró una relación significativa entre impulsividad y uso problemático de Internet; sin embargo, los factores de exposición pueden explicar que el individuo disminuya el contacto con su entorno familiar y social. Los hallazgos de este trabajo pueden constituir una guía para futuras líneas de investigación que profundicen en el conocimiento de este problema.

Introducción: el consumo de sustancias durante el embarazo, sus efectos y consecuencias son un problema social y de salud pública grave y poco visible. Debido a los riesgos y consecuencias, se vuelve importante visibilizar los factores de riesgo del consumo de drogas en este grupo poblacional. Objetivo: identificar factores psicosociales y sociodemográficos del consumo de drogas lícitas e ilícitas en mujeres durante el embarazo. Método: se realizó una búsqueda de artículos de investigación, publicados entre 2010 y 2016, que trataran sobre estos factores en relación con el uso de drogas legales e ilegales durante el embarazo. Resultados: se encontraron 86 artículos, de los cuales se eliminaron los relacionados con efectos y consecuencias médicas y los realizados en animales. Después de la depuración, se concentraron 30 artículos, en los que se identificaron factores como edad, condiciones educativas, familiares, sociales, económicas, características del embarazo y antecedentes del mismo, así como la autopercepción de vulnerabilidad y la actitud favorable hacia el consumo de sustancias durante la gestación. Conclusiones y discusión: es necesario dedicar más esfuerzo al conocimiento de esta problemática y direccionar la búsqueda de raíces sociales complejas, sobre todo en el embarazo de adolescentes y otras poblaciones vulnerables.

Sejak ditemukan penisilin sebagai antibiotika oleh Alexander Fleming pada tahun 1928, banyak usaha dilakukan untuk meningkatkan produktivitas Penicillium chrysogenum. Pemuliaan galur untuk meningkatkan produksi penisilin dapat menggunakan mutasi acak secara fisika dan kimia. Pada penelitian ini, radiasi sinar ultraviolet digunakan untuk mendapatkan mutan P. chrysogenum. Produksi penisilin ditentukan menggunakan HPLC dan produktivitas mutan dibandingkan dengan induk P. chrysogenum. Mutan M12 menghasilkan penisilin 1,23 kali lebih banyak dibandingkan dengan induk P. chrysogenum.Kata kunci: Penisilin, Penicillium chrysogenum, ultraviolet, mutan, radiasi ABSTRACTPenicillin is the first antibiotic discovered and used for treatment of bacterial infections. Since the discovery of penicillin as antibiotic by Alexander Fleming in 1928, much effort has been invested to improve productivity of Penicillium chrysogenum. Strain improvement to increase the penicillin production can be carried out by physical and chemical random mutation. In this research, ultraviolet irradiation was used to obtain P. chrysogenum mutant. Penicillin production was determined by using HPLC and productivity of P. chrysogenum mutants was compared to the wild type. Mutant M12 produced 1.23 fold higher penicillin than the wild type did.Keywords: Penicillin, Penicillium chrysogenum, ultraviolet, mutant, radiation
