BACKGROUND:

Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass induces a profound inflammatory response that, when severe, can lead to multiorgan system dysfunction. Preliminary data suggest that administration of hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions may mitigate an inflammatory response and improve pulmonary function. Our goal was to examine the effect of 6% HES 130/0.4 versus 5% human albumin given for intravascular plasma volume replacement on the perioperative inflammatory response and pulmonary function in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

METHODS:

This was a subinvestigation of a blinded, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial of patients undergoing elective aortic valve replacement surgery at the Cleveland Clinic main campus, titled “Effect of 6% Hydroxyethyl Starch 130/0.4 on Kidney and Haemostatic Function in Cardiac Surgical Patients.” Of 141 patients who were randomized to receive either 6% HES 130/0.4 or 5% human albumin for intraoperative plasma volume replacement, 135 patients were included in the data analysis (HES n = 66, albumin n = 69). We assessed the cardiopulmonary bypass–induced inflammatory response end points by comparing the 2 groups’ serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), measured at baseline and at 1 and 24 hours after surgery. We also compared the 2 groups’ postoperative pulmonary function end points, including the ratio of partial pressure of arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (Pao
2:Fio
2 ratio), dynamic lung compliance, oxygenation index (OI), and ventilation index (VI) at baseline, within 1 hour of arrival to the intensive care unit, and before tracheal extubation. The differences in the postoperative levels of inflammatory response and pulmonary function between the HES and albumin groups were assessed individually in linear mixed models.

RESULTS:

Serum concentrations of the inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, MIF) were not significantly different (P ≥ .05) between patients who received 6% HES 130/0.4 or 5% albumin, and there was no significant heterogeneity of the estimated treatment effect over time (P ≥ .15). The results of pulmonary function parameters (Pao
2:Fio
2 ratio, dynamic compliance, OI, VI) were not significantly different (P ≥ .05) between groups, and there was no significant heterogeneity of the estimated treatment effect over time (P ≥ .15).

CONCLUSIONS:

Our investigation found no significant difference in the concentrations of inflammatory markers and measures of pulmonary function between cardiac surgical patients who received 6% HES 130/0.4 versus 5% albumin.

Background: Data sharing is now a mandatory prerequisite for several major funders and journals, where researchers are obligated to deposit the data resulting from their studies in an openly accessible repository. Biomedical open data are now widely available in almost all disciplines, where researchers can freely access and reuse these data in new studies. We aim to study the BioLINCC datasets, number of publications that used BioLINCC open access data, and the citations received by these publications.

Methods: As of July 2019, there was a total of 194 datasets stored in BioLINCC repository and accessible through their portal. We requested the full list of publications that used these datasets from BioLINCC, and we also performed a supplementary PubMed search for other publications. We used Web of Science (WoS) to analyze the characteristics of publications and the citations they received, where WoS database index high quality articles.

Results: 1,086 published articles used data from BioLINCC repository for 79 (40.72%) datasets, where 115 (59.28%) datasets did not have any publications associated with it. Of the total publications, 987 (90.88%) articles were WoS indexed. The number of publications has steadily increased since 2002 and peaked in 2018 with a total number of 138 publications on that year. The 987 open data publications (i.e., secondary publications) received a total of 34,181 citations up to 1 st October 2019. The average citation per item for the open data publications was 34.63. The total number of citations received by open data publications per year has increased from only 2 citations in 2002, peaking in 2018 with 2361 citations.

Conclusion: Majority of BioLINCC datasets were not used in secondary publications. Despite that, the datasets used for secondary publications yielded publications in WoS indexed journals and are receiving an increasing number of citations.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji efek food safety dan food service terhadap eating habits di rumah makan. Food service juga diuji sebagai variabel mediasi di dalam penelitian ini. Sejak masa pandemi, perubahan pelaksanaan keamanan pangan dan pelayanan pangan mengalamai perubahan total. Peraturan protokol kesehatan dari pemerintah harus diterapkan untuk mengurangi penularan melalui makanan. Studi ini dilakukan secara kuantitatif dengan menggunakan analisis PLS-SEM. Data diambil satu kali (cross sectional) dengan membagikan kuesioner secara purposif kepada individu yang masih makan di rumah makan pada masa pandemi. Jumlah sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah 64 responden. Studi ini menyimpulkan bahwa food safety sangat penting bagi konsumen agar ketika dine-in mereka merasa aman. Sementara itu food service tidak berpengaruh signifikan baik sebagai variabel independen maupun mediasi dalam hubungan pengaruh antara food safety dan eating habits. Saran bagi pemangku kepentingan adalah dengan menyediakan sejumlah sarana yang dapat digunakan oleh konsumen secara mandiri untuk memastikan kembali bahwa mereka merasa aman ketika dine-in di restoran. Termasuk dalam kategori ini adalah disinfekan untuk tangan, juga untuk meja, dan sendok garpu. Sekalipun demikian protokol pelaksanaan food service juga tetap harus dilaksanakan.
Application of Multi Body System Coupling Dynamic Model in Posture Stability Evaluation of Sports
Authors: Pan Haijin
Published: August 2021

Due to the lack of more precise and complete data support, the reliability of posture stability evaluation method based on common technology is poor. In the face of such problems, the application of multi-body system coupling dynamic model in the evaluation of sports posture stability is proposed. The coupling dynamic model of human motion posture is established, and the relevant data of human motion posture is collected. The complete data of human motion posture is obtained by solving the dynamic model. Choose the appropriate stability evaluation index, calculate the stability evaluation index, divide the stability level, and realize the evaluation of posture stability. The experimental results show that: the application of multi-body system coupling dynamic model in the stability evaluation method makes the time delay and data error of the evaluation method small, and its overall reliability is improved.
A Linearised θ Numerical Scheme for the Vibrations of Inextensible Beams
Authors: Papathanasiou Theodosios K.
Published: August 2021

A linearised finite element numerical scheme for the vibration of inextensible beams is developed. The proposed scheme is based on the methodology introduced by S. Bartels [15] and satisfies a linearised form of the inextensibility constraint. The time m arching procedure is based on repeated use of the theta-parameter integration quadrature. Three parameters are introduced in total and appropriately selected such that the energy conservation features are improved compared to the Bartels algorithm while the inextensibility constraint is satisfied as accurately as possible. Cubic Hermite polynomials are employed for the spatial discretisation. The Bartels algorithm is retrieved as a special case. Several numerical experiments are presented demonstrating the theoretically predicted enhanced inextensibility mimicking and optimum values of the method parameters are identified.
Accurate and efficient internal deformation measurement of multiphase/porous materials via segmentation-aided digital volume correlation
Authors: Wang Bo , Zou Xiang , Pan Bing
Published: August 2021

In using the regular subvolume-based digital volume correlation (R-DVC) method, calculation points should be defined at the real material phase, and the local deformation within the interrogated subvolumes is assumed to be continuous. However, this basic assumption in R-DVC analysis is often violated when measuring the deformation near the interface when dealing with multiphase materials (including porous materials) or contact problems. This is because discontinuous deformation always presents in the calculation points located at the vicinity of interfaces of various phases. All these factors lead to increased measurement error and/or meaningless calculation burdens when using R-DVC. To address these issues, we propose a segmentation-aided DVC (S-DVC) for accuracy-enhanced internal deformation analysis near the interface. The presented S-DVC first divides the reference volume image into different portions according to the distinct gray scales within different material phases (or background) or objects. Based on the segmented reference volume image, we can ensure that subvolumes only contain the voxels from the same material phase/object and exclude other phases/objects. As such, the error due to undermatched shape function can be minimized and meaningless DVC calculation can be avoided. The accuracy, efficiency, and practicality of S-DVC over R-DVC are validated by a simulated compression test of nodular cast iron (multiphase material) and a real compression experiment of 3D printed polymer (porous material).

Published: August 2021

Plasmonic nanostructures provide a new way to improve nonlinear optical effects. As a mode of surface plasmons (SP), localized SPs can highly localize and enhance electromagnetic fields within a subwavelength volume. In this work, we developed a one-dimensional V-groove Ag nanograting. Through simulation, we realized triple-resonance enhanced four-wave mixing (FWM), in which both the excitation and signal waves are in resonance with LSPRs modified by propagating SPs, and can perfectly overlap with each other in each single nanogroove. Compared with that from a flat Ag plate, the FWM enhancement factor can be over six orders of magnitude. Next, we filled the Ag V-groove with nonlinear polymer 2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene and further improved the enhancement factor to eight orders of magnitude, together with a conversion efficiency of

Impacts from triple phases of a germanium–antimony–tellurium film coating on thermal emission from SiO2 and boron doped Si
Authors: Yang Yi-Hua , Chang Jui-Yung , Wu Dong-Han , Chen Yu-Bin
Published: August 2021

This work experimentally demonstrates mid-infrared emittance spectra of dielectric and semi-conductor substrates with and without a germanium–antimony–tellurium (GST) film coating. The film experiences non-volatile phase changes at 140°C and 300°C. Impacts from amorphous, face-centered cubic, and hexagonal close packed phases on spectral emittance are demonstrated within the spectral range from 4 μm to 18 μm. The spectra are measured at 100°C, 200°C, 300°C, and 400°C to show temperature dependence. Close-to-total emittance is calculated for comparison. The GST film can reduce emittance from a SiO2 substrate, but it raises close-to-normal emittance as well as the spectral emittance at wavelengths 5 μm ≤ λ ≤ 18 μm for the doped Si substrate.

The spatial patterns of field arthropod communities are an essential part of ecology and can provide fundamental data regarding field ecological processes and reveal the mechanism of ecosystem biodiversity maintenance. This study investigated the spatial distribution pattern of field insect communities to detect the spatial relationships between insect communities in farmland. The study site was located at the Dehui Agro-ecological Experimental Station of Black Soil, Jilin, China. Insect communities and environmental factors were sampled at 121 uniformly distributed points in a 400 × 400 m plot in August, September, and October 2015. The analysis revealed that insect communities from June to October demonstrated significant spatial correlation, and 6085 samples of 47 species and 47 families in 11 orders were collected from the insect community in the farmland. The farmland insect community structure changes and dynamic changes of nutritional function groups occur with time. According to the 400 x 400 m plot, the diversity of farmland insect communities and functional groups is maintained at a relatively high and stable level. In this study, a total of 6085 samples of corn farmland insects were obtained using the fluke method and direct observation method, including 11 orders, 26 families and 47 species, 4 absolute dominant populations, 6 main dominant populations, and 37 other populations. These studies can provide help for pest control in the spring corn area of Northeast China.

New insights into the spatial organization, stratigraphy and human occupations of the Aceramic Neolithic at Ganj Dareh, Iran
Authors: Riel-Salvatore Julien , Lythe Andrew , Albornoz Alejandra Uribe
Published: August 2021

The Aceramic Neolithic site of Ganj Dareh (Kermanshah, Iran) is arguably one of the most significant sites for enhancing our understanding of goat domestication and the onset of sedentism. Despite its central importance, it has proven difficult to obtain contextually reliable data from it and integrate the site in regional syntheses because it was never published in full after excavations ceased in 1974. This paper presents the Ganj Dareh archive at Université de Montréal and shows how the documentation and artifacts it comprises still offer a great deal of useful information about the site. In particular, we 1) present the first stratigraphic profile for the site, which reveals a more complex depositional history than Smith’s five-level sequence; 2) reveal the presence of two possible pre-agricultural levels (H-01 and P-01); 3) explore the spatial organization of different levels; 4) explain possible discrepancies in the radiocarbon dates from the site; 5) show some differences in lithic technological organization in levels H-01 and P-01 suggestive of higher degrees of residential mobility than subsequent phases of occupation at the site; and 6) reanalyze the burial data to broaden our understanding of Aceramic Neolithic mortuary practices in the Zagros. These data help refine our understanding of Ganj Dareh’s depositional and occupational history and recenter it as a key site to improve our understanding the Neolithization process in the Middle East.

Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that uses felids as definitive hosts and warm-blooded animals as intermediate hosts. While the dispersal of T. gondii infectious oocysts from land to coastal waters has been well documented, transmission routes to pelagic species remain puzzling. We used the modified agglutination test (MAT titre ≥ 10) to detect antibodies against T. gondii in sera collected from 1014 pelagic seabirds belonging to 10 species. Sampling was carried out on eight islands of the Western Indian Ocean: Reunion and Juan de Nova (colonized by cats), Cousin, Cousine, Aride, Bird, Europa and Tromelin islands (cat-free). Antibodies against T. gondii were found in all islands and all species but the great frigatebird. The overall seroprevalence was 16.8% [95% CI: 14.5%-19.1%] but significantly varied according to species, islands and age-classes. The low antibody levels (MAT titres = 10 or 25) detected in one shearwater and three red-footed booby chicks most likely resulted from maternal antibody transfer. In adults, exposure to soils contaminated by locally deposited oocysts may explain the detection of antibodies in both wedge-tailed shearwaters on Reunion Island and sooty terns on Juan de Nova. However, 144 adults breeding on cat-free islands also tested positive. In the Seychelles, there was a significant decrease in T. gondii prevalence associated with greater distances to cat populations for species that sometimes rest on the shore, i.e. terns and noddies. This suggests that oocysts carried by marine currents could be deposited on shore tens of kilometres from their initial deposition point and that the number of deposited oocysts decreases with distance from the nearest cat population. The consumption of fishes from the families Mullidae, Carangidae, Clupeidae and Engraulidae, previously described as T. gondii oocyst-carriers (i.e. paratenic hosts), could also explain the exposure of terns, noddies, boobies and tropicbirds to T. gondii. Our detection of antibodies against T. gondii in seabirds that fish in the high sea, have no contact with locally contaminated soils but frequent the shores and/or consume paratenic hosts supports the hypothesis of an open-sea dispersal of T. gondii oocysts by oceanic currents and/or fish.
Association between lactate/albumin ratio and all-cause mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure: A retrospective analysis
Authors: Lu Yan , Guo Haoyang , Chen Xuya , Zhang Qiaohong
Published: August 2021

Previous studies have shown that lactate/albumin ratio (LAR) can be used as a prognostic biomarker to independently predict the mortality of sepsis and severe heart failure. However, the role of LAR as an independent prognostic factor in all-cause mortality in patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) remains to be clarified. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed 2170 patients with ARF in Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database III from 2001 to 2012. By drawing the receiver operating characteristic curve, LAR shows a better predictive value in predicting the 30-day mortality of ARF patients (AUC: 0.646), which is higher than that of albumin (AUC: 0.631) or lactate (AUC: 0.616) alone, and even higher than SOFA score(AUC: 0.642). COX regression analysis and Kaplan-Meier curve objectively and intuitively show that high LAR is a risk factor for patients with ARF, which is positively correlated with all-cause mortality. As an easy-to-obtain and objective biomarker, LAR deserves further verification by multi-center prospective studies.

Published: August 2021

Objective

The present study seeks to assess the impact of gestational hypertensive disorders on premature newborns below 34 weeks and to establish the main morbidities and mortality in the neonatal period and at 18 months.

Materials and methods

A retrospective observational study was carried out with 695 premature newborns of gestational age (GA) between 24 and 33 weeks and 6 days, born alive in the Neonatal ICU of Brasília’s Mother and Child Hospital (HMIB), in the period from January 1, 2014, to July 31, 2019. In total, 308 infants were born to hypertensive mothers (G1) and 387 to normotensive mothers (G2). Twin pregnancies and diabetic patients with severe malformations were excluded. Outcomes during hospitalization and outcomes of interest were evaluated: respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), brain ultrasonography, diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), diagnosis of necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, breastfeeding rate at discharge, survival at discharge and at 18 months of chronological age and relationship between weight and gestational age.

Results

Newborns with hypertensive mothers had significantly lower measurements of birth weight and head circumference. The G1 group had a higher risk small for gestational age (OR 2.4; CI 95% 1.6–3.6; p <0.00), as well as a greater risk of being born with a weight less than 850 g (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.2–3.5; p <0.00). Newborns of mothers with hypertension presented more necrotizing enterocolitis (OR 2.0; CI 95% 1.1–3.7); however, resuscitation in the delivery room and the need to use surfactant did not differ between groups, nor did the length of stay on mechanical ventilation, or dependence on oxygen at 36 weeks of gestational age. Survival was better in newborns of normotensive mothers, and this was a protective factor against death (OR 0.7; 95% CI 0.5–0.9; p <0.01). In the follow-up clinic, survival at 18 months of chronological age was similar between groups, with rates of 95.3% and 92.1% among hypertensive and normotensive mothers, respectively. Exclusive breastfeeding at discharge was 73.4% in the group of hypertensive women and 77.3% in the group of normotensive mothers. There were no significant differences between groups.

Conclusion

Among the analyzed outcomes, arterial hypertension during pregnancy can increase the risk of low weight, small babies for gestational age (SGA), deaths in the neonatal period and enterocolitis, with no differences in weight and survival at 18 months of chronological age. Arterial hypertension presents a high risk of prematurity in the neonatal period, with no difference at 18 months of age.
Moore’s Law revisited through Intel chip density
Authors: Burg David , Ausubel Jesse H.
Published: August 2021

Gordon Moore famously observed that the number of transistors in state-of-the-art integrated circuits (units per chip) increases exponentially, doubling every 12–24 months. Analysts have debated whether simple exponential growth describes the dynamics of computer processor evolution. We note that the increase encompasses two related phenomena, integration of larger numbers of transistors and transistor miniaturization. Growth in the number of transistors per unit area, or chip density, allows examination of the evolution with a single measure. Density of Intel processors between 1959 and 2013 are consistent with a biphasic sigmoidal curve with characteristic times of 9.5 years. During each stage, transistor density increased at least tenfold within approximately six years, followed by at least three years with negligible growth rates. The six waves of transistor density increase account for and give insight into the underlying processes driving advances in processor manufacturing and point to future limits that might be overcome.
Venture capital, control rights, and family enterprise growth
Authors: Pang Xianjun , Liu Liping
Published: August 2021

This research explores and explains the path of family enterprise venture capital equity financing from the perspective of endogenous family control rights. We adopted unbalanced panel data on Chinese listed companies from 2007 to 2018. Empirical research shows that there are significant differences in the impact of venture capital on the growth performance of family enterprises and non-family enterprises. Venture capital negatively affects the growth performance of family enterprises, while the negative impact of venture capital on family enterprises is not significant. In addition, family control positively moderates the negative impact of venture capital on family enterprise growth performance.

Published: August 2021

Timber production and profitability were evaluated for spontaneously-regenerated mixtures on two formerly clearcut areas. The abandoned areas developed into birch-dominated ( Roth and Ehrh.) stands with successional ingrowth of Norway spruce ( (L.) H. Karst.). An experiment with randomized treatments within blocks was established, using three management strategies and one unthinned control, resulting in variation in optimal rotation age, merchantable volume and species composition. The management strategies were evaluated based on total production (volume) by using measured growth data 42 years after clearcutting and the modelled future stand development. The long-term effects of spontaneous regeneration and management strategies were evaluated based on land expectation value (LEV) and compared with a fifth management strategy using artificial regeneration and intense thinnings. 12 years after treatment, at a stand age of 42 years, the unthinned control had produced the highest total stem volume. At interest rates of 2% or higher, the unmanaged forest was an economically viable strategy, even compared to an intensive management strategy with a preferred merchantable timber species. Interest rates clearly impacted the profitability of the different management strategies. This study shows that when spontaneous regeneration is successful and dense, the first competition release can have a high impact on the development of future crop trees and on the species mixture.Betula pendulaBetula pubescensPicea abies

UMA ANÁLISE HISTÓRICO-CRÍTICA DA UNIDADE AFETIVO-COGNITIVA DA ARTE NA EDUCAÇÃO ESCOLAR
Authors: Assumpção Mariana de Cássia , Xavier de Abreu Thiago
Published: August 2021

Este artigo versa sobre a unidade afetivo-cognitiva presente na arte como componente curricular da educação escolar. A heterogeneidade da vida cotidiana na sociedade capitalista acentua uma concepção dicotômica entre razão e emoção, atribuindo, no senso comum, os elementos racionais como pertencentes apenas à ciência e os elementos afetivos apenas à arte. Em oposição a tais perspectivas, entendemos a arte e a ciência como esferas superiores de objetivação que refletem, cada uma ao seu modo, a realidade objetiva e proporcionam uma síntese entre razão e emoção fundamental para o processo de formação dos indivíduos. Assim, nos baseamos nos escritos estéticos de György Lukács e na pedagogia histórico-crítica, em uma pesquisa de natureza teórico-bibliográfica, observando a origem e o desenvolvimento dos reflexos artístico e científico a partir de uma análise dialética entre razão e emoção, tomando a música como uma modalidade artística que evidencia essa dialeticidade entre os aspectos racionais e emocionais. Por fim, defendemos uma formação omnilateral da individualidade, racional e afetivamente orientada para superação dos limites da vida cotidiana no capitalismo, acentuando a importância da transmissão dos conteúdos artísticos na educação escolar.

A formação inicial docente nas Instituições de Ensino Superior não ficou isenta de debilidades, em especial, quando analisamos a etapa do Estágio Supervisionado Obrigatório, momento em que as/os licenciandas/os observam, participam e atuam na realidade das escolas públicas da Educação Básica. Diante disso, este estudo tem como propósito discorrer sobre as implicações do cenário de pandemia na realização do Estágio de licenciandas/os do Curso de Ciências Biológicas de uma Universidade Estadual paranaense, em decorrência dos processos educativos em regime remoto tanto no Ensino Superior quanto na Educação Básica. Temos como método o Materialismo Histórico-Dialético e assumimos como proposição pedagógica a Pedagogia Histórico-Crítica, fundamentos que norteiam a função, o desenvolvimento e os objetivos do Estágio na formação inicial docente neste Curso e a discussão realizada neste artigo. Partimos da compreensão de que o Estágio é um momento fundamental para qualificar a concepção de mundo das/os licenciandas/os no que concerne à realidade das escolas públicas brasileiras, às determinações que elas sofrem do modelo de organização da sociedade atual e ao papel da educação, tendo impacto na futura práxis docente. Assim, as limitações impostas pelo regime remoto precisam ser analisadas, visando permitir, dentro das condições concretas, que esta etapa formativa contribua com a formação e a atuação docente.

In this experiment, we investigate the effect of modified banana tuber meal (M-BTM) to substitute dietary maize in growing-finisher colored-feathered hybrid duck. One hundred and ninety six hybrid ducks (Pekin x Khaki Campbell) with 421.31 ± 0.183g body weight (BW) were allotted to 5 dietary treatments with 9 ducks (unsexed) per pen and 4 replications per treatment. These dietary treatments were: NC (negative control; maize-soyabean-meal based diet), BTM25 (25% maize was replaced by M-BTM-), BTM50 (50% maize was replaced by M-BTM), BTM75 (75% maize was replaced by M-BTM), and BTM100 (100% maize was replaced by M-BTM). The experimental design applied using completely randomize design (CRD). Data of this experiment were statistically analysed by one-way-analysis-of-variance of SAS University version 4.0 red hat (64-bit) University Online Edition. Result demonstrated that M-BTM improved significantly (p< 0.05) digestibility of dry matter and crude protein. It is concluded that M-BTM enhanced apparently growth performaces and digestibility parameters of colored-feathered hybrid duck (Pekin x Khaki Campbell).
Validación de la Escala de Fortalezas Familiares en población adulta chilena
Authors: Rivadeneira-Valenzuela Joucelyn , Rivadeneira Marcelo M.
Published: August 2021

El enfoque de las fortalezas familiares sugiere que las familias son capaces de surgir y salir exitosas de los desafíos de la vida cotidiana. Teniendo esto en cuenta, el objetivo de este estudio fue validar la Escala de Fortalezas Familiares, adaptada de un estudio en España, en una población chilena. Para esto, la muestra estuvo formada por 324 adultos chilenos que debían completar el instrumento de 12 ítems. El modelo de dos factores de la escala fue validado mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio (χ2/gl = 2.86; rmsr = 0.041; rmrsea = 0.076; cfi = 0.950; tli = 0.937), y se encontró que los dos factores se relacionan con aspectos de la autoeficacia familiar y la percepción de adaptación en las familias; en ambos casos se estimaron valores de confiabilidad de escala adecuados (alfa de Cronbach de .91 y .72, respectivamente). Estos resultados permiten avalar la utilización de la escala en la población chilena, lo que podrá contribuir en el avance del conocimiento respecto al funcionamiento familiar, así como guiar intervenciones de prevención y promoción con familias dirigidas a potenciar fortalezas y recursos protectores garantes de una parentalidad respetuosa y afectiva, y al mejoramiento de la calidad de vida familiar.
Characterization of young graduates perceiving underemployement: Assessment of well-being and discomfort associated with this perception
Authors: Ocampo-Palacio Juan Gabriel , Gómez Ortiz Viviola
Published: August 2021

Previous research has shown that subjective underemployment is inversely associated to job satisfaction, psychological well-being and health. To our knowledge, the current is the first study that explores subjective underemployment in undergraduates in Colombia. One hundred and forty-two workers participated in a correlational, and comparative study. Results replicated previous findings: as subjective underemployment perception increased, job satisfaction and general life satisfaction decreased. Significant differences were found in the indicators of job satisfaction and general life satisfaction among those who perceive underemployment and those who do not. Finally, the potential role of subjective underemployment on employees’ health is discussed.

Published: August 2021

El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar factores de salud percibida y de calidad de vida en estudiantes de primer semestre de una universidad privada en Colombia. Para esto, se contó con una muestra por conveniencia de 636 estudiantes (M = 18 años, DE = 1.38) que participó en la primera medición de una investigación longitudinal denominada VIDA2020. En particular, se realizó un diseño de investigación observacional transversal, enmarcado en una investigación de cohorte. Del protocolo de evaluación del proyecto, este reporte incluye un cuestionario con datos sociodemográficos y antecedentes médicos, las subescalas de depresión y estrés del dass-21, un ítem del sf36v-2 y el whoqol-bref. En general, como resultado se encontró que el 91 % de los estudiantes valora su salud global como buena o excelente; que dicha valoración es significativamente menor en quienes reportan antecedentes de enfermedad (80.5 %) y síntomas de depresión (86.1 %) y estrés (83.1 %); que las mujeres, los migrantes y quienes reportan antecedentes de enfermedad puntúan menor calidad de vida física, psicológica y ambiental; y que el estrés y la depresión predicen menores puntajes de calidad de vida física y psicológica, con correlaciones más fuertes en comparación con las variables demográficas y médicas. Estos hallazgos permiten identificar y priorizar las necesidades especiales en salud de los nuevos estudiantes.

Authors: Anoszko Sergiusz
Published: August 2021

Article synthetically describes the history, assumptions and a short description of the Religious Order of the Scientology – Sea Organisation, which was founded in 1967, thirteen years after when in Los Angeles was registered the first institution of the Church of Scientology. The text of the article is based on three basic types of sources: literature, memoirs of former members of the order and the relationship of current active monks, the information from whom was received at query time research at the Ideal Orgs (headquarters) of the Church in Spain and Hungary in 2016. Apart from presenting the image of contemporary monasticism in terms of the Scientology also is explained the basic religious concepts, that relevant for this Ron Hubbard’s cult. The last part of the article is devoted to the symbolism of the Sea Org, which is really a reflection of the ideological assumptions that entity.
The narrative function of temporal signs: toward a semio-narratology approach
Authors: Zeng Jun , Wang Mengqiu
Published: August 2021

Both narrative semiotics and semio-narratology are concerned with the relationship between “history” and “structure,” and consequently the academic focus in these areas has shifted to time. Do “temporal signs” exist? How is time semiotized by signs in narration? How do the narrative functions of temporal signs work? This paper answers these questions and explores semio-narratology, in a break with the ahistorical discourses of narrative semiotics, by way of a detailed analysis of The True Story of Ah Q and other works of modern fiction.
Konstruktive interkulturelle Organisationsentwicklung durch paradigmatische Perspektivenvielfalt
Authors: Barmeyer Christoph
Published: August 2021

Organisationsentwicklung hat zum Ziel, das Problemlösungspotenzial und die Selbsterneuerungsfähigkeit von Organisationen zu erhöhen. Dabei versucht Organisationsentwicklung die Zielerreichung der Organisation unter gleichzeitiger Einbeziehung der Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeiter und anderer involvierter Stakeholder zu unterstützen. Im interkulturellen Kontext ist Organisationsentwicklung zusätzlich mit Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die zum Beispiel das unterschiedliche Verständnis von Organisationen als soziale Systeme oder die Beteiligung und Mitwirkung von Mitarbeitern an Entscheidungen und Arbeitsprozessen betrifft.

Zentral für gelingende Interkulturalität ist Perspektivenvielfalt, denn in einem interpretativen Verständnis wird Wirklichkeit konstruiert und hängt von den Hintergründen und Sichtweisen der beteiligten Akteure ab. Diesermultiparadigmatische Ethnorelativismuskann dabei helfen Interkulturalität in Organisationen in ihrer Vielfalt und Differenziertheit zu erfassen.

In diesem Artikel werden zentrale Themenfelder der interkulturellen Organisationsentwicklung multiperspektivisch anhand multipler Kulturen und unterschiedlicher paradigmatischer Grundhaltungen illustriert. Multiperspektivische Sichtweisen zeigen in Richtung einer konstruktiven interkulturellen Organisationsentwicklung, die kulturelle Vielfalt in Lern- und Entwicklungsprozesse überführt.

Authors: Bhattacharya Aniruddha B. , Singh Madhusudan
Published: August 2021

This paper presents implementation of control method for dual control of Voltage and Current control and Power sharing coupled with Demand Response for the islanded microgrid. These three controller viz Voltage and current controller, Power sharing controller and smart load controller while acting in unison can able to maintain long layoff from the connection requirement of the main grid. The paper uses state space inverter based generator model with close loop Voltage and Current control and Power sharing controller will enhance microgrid stability and transient response where smart load controller which uses state space model for voltage,current and Phase Locked Loop units to estimate reserve power available from smart load for better voltage and frequency regulation. Voltage current Controller and Power Sharing Controller will also assist the microgrid for smooth disconnection of microgrid from main grid while smart load controller will use its point of load voltage control for smooth islanding of microgrid. This control technique henceforth called tripartite control technique, compared with classical controller connected to microgrid in maintaining frequency, voltage with power sharing of the inverter driven by renewable generator. This paper investigate the operation performance issues of test Microgrid using Tripartite Control Technique. Simulation results indicate close approximation with experimental results
