Négocier l’armement au sein de l’Union européenne : le travail politique de la Commission européenne
Authors: Faure Samuel B. H.
Published: March 2021

Comment la Commission européenne a-t-elle négocié le « paquet défense » adopté en 2009 dans un secteur d’action publique où elle ne disposait d’aucune prérogative ni légitimité politique ? Par une approche se situant à la croisée de la sociologie de l’action publique et de la sociologie des élites, je mets à jour le « travail politique » initié par la Commission européenne dès le début des années 1990. Ce travail politique est caractérisé par la production de «  soft law  » (travail discursif) et par la constitution d’une large association d’acteurs (travail relationnel).

Authors: Vijayvargiya Priya , Parakh Arun
Published: March 2021

This chapter presents a design proposal for low-cost speed control and electrical fault mitigation of three-phase induction motors. The proposed system can control and monitor TIMs (three-phase induction motors) from far-flung areas. Here authors have proposed a relay-free system for fast fault clearance. IoT technology and low-cost microcontrollers have helped in achieving a system that is more reliable, economical, user friendly, and fast. It can be controlled by mobile application at the comfort of home. Data related to fault occurrence can be stored and analyzed for preventive maintenance. V/f scalar control method is used for speed control of TIM and able to control it in a wide range. Electrical faults such as over-current, over-temperature, over-voltage, and under-voltage are considered in this chapter. Simulation of the proposed design is done using Proteus 8 software. ESP32 is used to runs a web server that connects the mobile app with simulation.
Nurse Managers Leading the Way: Reenvisioning Stress to Maintain Healthy Work Environments
Authors: Dimino Kimberly , Learmonth Amy E. , Fajardo Christiam C.
Published: March 2021

Background

Stress among nurses is well documented, and in the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, it has reached record highs.

Problem

Under normal conditions, nurse managers and frontline nurses face stressors that come with the territory of their profession, but the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has greatly added to their burden. Nurse managers are being called not only to help their organizations manage the crisis operationally, but also to help the nurses they supervise mentally, emotionally, and even ethically.

Discussion

This article provides recommendations for how nurse managers can use the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses Healthy Work Environment standards and make the experience of stress more productive.

Conclusion

Stress comes with the territory in nursing, but nurses can work together to make stress their ally and not their enemy. The real enemies are coronavirus disease 2019, burnout, and the aftermath of uncontrolled stress. When nurses keep stress in perspective and focus on what they can control, they contribute to developing healthier work environments.
Spontaneous breathing for managing analgesia during balanced anesthesia with remifentanil and desflurane
Authors: Wetterkamp Mark , Meiser Andreas , Weber Thomas Peter , Vogelsang Heike , Lange Tobias , Trost Matthias , Bellgardt Martin
Published: March 2021

The main goal of anesthesiology is to achieve the best level of analgesia and a fast recovery of consciousness following anesthesia. The preservation of spontaneous breathing during general anesthesia with anesthetic gases is practiced by many anesthetists. However, very few studies have dealt with these positive properties of volatile anesthetics such as sevoflurane or desflurane. Remifentanil is a very short half-life opiate that combines sufficient intra-operative analgesia with a fast post-operative recovery time. We tested the hypothesis that spontaneous breathing can reduce overdosing with remifentanil during desflurane anesthesia. In this prospective, single center, multiple anesthetist study, 30 patients were randomized into two groups (volume-controlled ventilation mode and spontaneous breathing). The spontaneous breathing group showed a significantly lower post-operative pain level than the volume-controlled ventilation mode group. Furthermore, less remifentanil as well as less piritramide was needed in the spontaneous breathing group compared with volume-controlled ventilation mode. It was possible to achieve spontaneous breathing in all patients with 0.6 minimum alveolar concentration desflurane, in order to control the remifentanil rate and prevent an overdose. All spontaneous breathing patients had low intra- and post-operative pain levels and the need for analgesics was equal to or lower than that in the volume-controlled ventilation mode group. By reducing the intra-operative amount of opiates, both the post-operative pain and the amount of post-operative analgesia required can be reduced. A balanced anesthesia with spontaneous intra-operative breathing is needed to determine the required amount of opiates. This study was approved by the Ethic Committee of the Ruhr-University of Bochum (approval No. 2435) in September, 2004.

Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a common malignant tumor worldwide. Extensive genomic data analysis revealed that UC has a complex molecular character. From the perspective of cancer hallmarks reviewed the molecular biology participated in the tumorigenesis of UC.

Data Sources:

We inspected the results of multiple studies of UC focusing on the hallmarks of cancer.

Results:

UC has distinctive molecular pathways involved in sustained proliferative signaling, evasion of growth suppressors, resistance to cell death, promotion of replicative immortality, induction of angiogenesis, activation of invasion and metastasis, genome instability and mutation, tumor-promoting inflammation, reprogramming of energy metabolism, and evasion of immune destruction.

Conclusion:

From the perspective of the hallmark of cancer, we revealed the many-sided biological behavior of UC.
Comparison of efficacy and safety of the enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) and transabdominal (TARM) minimal access techniques for retromuscular placement of prosthesis in the treatment of irreducible midline ventral hernia
Authors: Rege Sameer Ashok , Churiwala Jayati Jagdish , Kaderi Abdeali Saif A. , Kshirsagar Ketan Fakira , Dalvi Abhay N.
Published: March 2021

Background:

Retromuscular plane for mesh placement is preferred for ventral hernia repair. With the evolution of minimal access surgeries, newer techniques to deploy a mesh in the sublay plane have evolved. We compared two such minimally invasive approaches for repair of irreducible ventral midline hernia with respect to the efficacy and safety of the procedures.

Patients and Methods:

This is a retrospective study of a prospectively maintained database of 73 patients operated with retromuscular placement of mesh for irreducible ventral midline hernia by enhanced-view totally extraperitoneal (eTEP) or transabdominal retromuscular (TARM) repair. We recorded and compared the intraoperative and post-operative complications, post-operative pain score, recovery, recurrence, subjective technical ease of procedure and patient satisfaction after 3 months and 12 months of the surgery.

Results and Conclusion:

Thirty-eight patients were operated by eTEP technique and the subsequent 35 were operated by TARM repair. There was no significant difference in the outcome of surgery and complications by the two techniques. However, there was a significant subjective technical ease in the TARM group due to ergonomic triangulated port placement and adhesiolysis and reduction of hernia contents under vision. The number of ports used and post-operative pain were, however, higher in the TARM group as compared to that of the eTEP group. Nearly 96% of the patients belonging to both groups were satisfied with their surgery after a year on telephonic follow-up. However, further studies and follow-up of patients would be required to establish the advantage of one technique over the other.

Fetal lung interstitial tumor (FLIT) is a rare pediatric lung tumor with radiological features similar to developmental pulmonary malformations and other congenital lung neoplasms. There are about 17 cases of FLIT reported worldwide till date. We report the first case of FLIT in the Indian literature which was diagnosed in the early postnatal period (at the 21st day of life) by pathological examination. The tumor exhibited a novel focal micropapillary architecture, in addition to the previously described microscopic features. We discuss the pathogenesis and differential diagnoses of FLIT and review the literature.

Published: March 2021

Background:

The ACTION IO study (NCT03584191) aimed to identify perceptions, attitudes, behaviors, and potential barriers to effective obesity care across people with obesity (PwO) and healthcare professionals (HCPs). Results from Saudi Arabia are presented here.

Methods:

A survey was conducted from June to September 2018. In Saudi Arabia, eligible PwO were ≥18 years with a self reported body mass index of ≥30 kg/m2. Eligible HCPs were in direct patient care.

Results:

The survey was completed by 1,000 PwO and 200 HCPs in Saudi Arabia. Many PwO (68%) and HCPs (62%) agreed that obesity is a chronic disease. PwO felt responsible for their weight management (67%), but 71% of HCPs acknowledged their responsibility to contribute. Overall, 58% of PwO had discussed weight with their HCP in the past 5 years, 46% had received a diagnosis of obesity, and 44% had a follow up appointment scheduled. Although 50% of PwO said they were motivated to lose weight, only 39% of HCPs thought their patients were motivated to lose weight. Less than half of PwO (39%) and HCPs (49%) regarded genetic factors as a barrier to weight loss. Many PwO had seriously attempted weight loss (92%) and achieved ≥5% weight loss (61%), but few maintained their weight loss for >1 year (5%).

Conclusion:

Saudi Arabian results have revealed misperceptions among PwO and HCPs about obesity, highlighting opportunities for further education and training about obesity including the biologic basis and clinical management.
Virtual Simulation-Based Training for Aviation Maintenance Technicians: Recommendations of a Panel of Experts
Authors: Alasim Fahad , Almalki Hamed
Published: March 2021

A well implemented and suitable training plan makes a company's operations more effective. In the aviation industry, qualified maintenance technicians are one of the most significant assets to improve safety of passengers and reliability of air transportation. This paper investigated the effectiveness of virtual simulation-based training in the aviation maintenance. It garnered data from a panel of experts to discover if virtual simulation-based training can be used instead of the traditional training techniques to train maintenance technicians. From the aviation industry in Saudi Arabia, 11 experts were selected and interviewed. Experts were asked 9 questions seeking their opinions on utilizing the virtual reality technology on the aviation maintenance training, and if it can overcome the limitations of utilizing traditional methods while providing the needed skills. The panel of experts agreed that this technology is an efficient, practical, and doable method to be used in the aviation maintenance training. It provides a risk-free technique to train technicians. However, they stated that this technology should be used in combination with the traditional training methods to avoid potential problems and limitations, such as lack of equipment, time consuming, and exposing trainees to dangerous situations when using the traditional methods, and to avoid challenges, such as information technology (IT) infrastructure, high cost of implementation, lack of accountability, and more importantly, not offering a real sense of equipment when using the virtual reality technology. Therefore, the panel of experts recommended that this technology should be used as a Recurrent Technical Training (RTT) for maintenance technicians who already received an Initial Technical Training (ITT) using traditional techniques, hands-on training, for instance.

Dans la perspective de contribuer à l’élaboration d’une stratégie de gestion intégrée du puceron de cotonnier Aphis gossypii, les tests de l’effet de la fumure minérale et des prédateurs sur la variation des niveaux de population de ce dernier ont été étudiés. La collecte des données a été réalisée par un suivi à chaque trois jour sur plants de cotonnier (Gossypium hirsutum L.) installé en parcelles expérimentales à la Station d’ Expérimentation Agronomique de l’Université de Lomé. Les résultats de la fluctuation de population d’Aphis gossypii ont révélé deux pics de pullulation durant le cycle du cotonnier. Le premier pic de la petite période de pullulation au 46ème jour après semis (jas) est moins important numériquement. Le second pic de la grande période de pullulation au 86ème jas est numériquement plus important et cause des dégâts considérables aux cotonniers. Les infestations et les niveaux de variation de populations au cours du cycle de la culture cotonnière sont très dépendants de la dose de fumure minérale appliquée La présence et le développement des prédateurs ont corrélé positivement avec le niveau d’infestation des plants par le puceron sans avoir un effet régulateur remarquable de la population de ce dernier.

L’emploi à l’épreuve des troubles intérieurs au Cameroun
Authors: MBOUMEGNE DZESSEU SERGES FRÉDÉRIC , DJOMO TAMEN VALÉRY BLÉRIOT
Published: March 2021

L’activité productive ou économique d’une population a pour objectif de produire les biens et services marchands, ou non, moyennant un salaire ou un traitement en espèces ou en nature. La réalisation de cet objectif passe par un emploi durable, d’ailleurs considéré comme l’un des deux piliers de la stratégie nationale entrée en vigueur depuis 2009 pour faire du Cameroun un pays émergent à l’horizon 2035. Malheureusement, la « crise anglophone » et les assauts répétés du groupe terroriste « Boko Haram » dans la partie septentrionale constituent des freins à l’effectivité d’un emploi durable. En juin 2018, un rapport sur l’impact de la crise au Nord-Ouest et au Sud-Ouest est publié par le Groupement Inter-patronal du Cameroun (GICAM). Ce document estime les pertes en équipements à 2,14 milliards tandis que le manque à gagner en termes de chiffre d’affaires avoisine les 270 milliards de francs CFA. Le rapport précise également que « 8.000 emplois relevant du secteur informel » sont menacés en plus des 6.434 déjà perdus. Et ces chiffres ne concernent que le secteur de l’agro-industrie. Entre les mesures d’ordre public des autorités administratives en vertu de la loi et les mesures illégales des belligérants sous le vocable « ghosttown » (villes mortes), l’emploi s’est trouvé sacrifié. Cette contribution allie les méthodes juridiques et socio-politistes pour dégager les pistes de solution en vue du retour au plein emploi.

A Critique of Four Grounded Theory Texts
Authors: Allen Lise
Published: March 2021

This article is a review of Discovery of Grounded Theory by Glaser and Strauss, Basics of Qualitative Research by Strauss and Corbin, Constructing Grounded Theory by Charmaz, and Situational Analysis by Clarke across six categories, including the authors' purposes, structure of the books, practical applications of the books' methods, how the authors approach theory and data emergence, how the authors judge grounded theory research and finally, if the authors have achieved their purposes. For the most part, I found that all books accomplished their purposes. Discovery was weak in practical applications but strong on logical arguments for the usage of grounded theory. Basics contained many practical tools but some of the techniques discussed forced data into certain categories. Constructing was written in a very clear, easy-to-follow format that novices might find useful. Situational contained many tools, but with a focus on situations rather than actors.

Authors: Terrell Steven
Published: March 2021

Having completed graduate degrees in educational research and counseling, I have studied the theory of focus groups and participated in many while in a classroom setting. Interestingly, I had never moderated one until my first attempt in a text-based online environment. This paper describes my preparation for the session as well as the issues I faced while actually conducted the focus group. Readers will find that being prepared by establishing rapport with their group prior to the event, understanding the change of dynamics that distance brings to the process and handling the pressures of an expanded role as moderator, will help ensure a successful focus group session.

Authors: Thygesen Marianne , Pedersen Birthe , Kragstrup Jakob , Wagner Lis , Mogensen Ole
Published: March 2021

Elicitation techniques in connection with semi-structured interviews are scantily used, but reported to be beneficial to research. We developed and tested a new visual technique to be utilized in the latter part of semi-structured interviews. It has proved to be feasible and beneficial to use, and it could possibly be used by others. This way of extending the interviews generates more data in a visual form, as well as in a verbal form, by supporting the participants in remembering nearly forgotten parts of their experiences and in expressing emotions associated with those significant experiences. As a contribution to qualitative research, our study showed that the visual data, created by the participants, also contributed to getting the elaborated narratives.

Determinantes de la migración México-Estados Unidos de acuerdo a estados expulsores y receptores, 2002-2012
Authors: Viteri José , Díaz Eliseo
Published: March 2021

Actualmente no existe un consenso teórico o ciencia social que explique todas las facetas de la migración; los investigadores del campo generalmente hacemos aproximaciones analíticas que tratan de explicar sus características esenciales. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo encontrar las determinantes económicas que llevaron a migrar entre los años 2002 y 2012 a la población mexicana nacida en los estados de Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Michoacán, San Luis Potosí y Zacatecas hacia los estados de California, Arizona, Nuevo México, Texas, Colorado e Illinois en los Estados Unidos. El desarrollo de la investigación se centra en el modelo de Michael Todaro aplicado a México, en donde la diferencia salarial entre estados expulsores y receptores es la variable que explica esencialmente la migración laboral hacia los Estados Unidos frente a los niveles de empleo y el costo migratorio. La importancia de este estudio económico es determinar si las brechas salariales son factor de expulsión en la decisión de migrar de los mexicanos por encima de las diferencias del desempleo y los costos de migrar.

P3b amplitudes differences in ultra-rapid visual categorization task of food and non-food items
Authors: Jahan Tawhida
Published: March 2021

P300, especially P3b, the third positive wave of EEG signal with near 350ms associated with occipito-patieto-temporal region of the brain, is mainly responsible for categorization of different objects. So, this study investigates the nature of amplitude and reaction time difference in ‘food’ and ‘no-food’ objects categorization task. Object categorization processes were investigated by measuring event-related potentials while participants were categorizing different ‘food’ and ‘no-food’ items. The EEG study of this experiment found no P3b amplitude differences for ‘food’ and ‘no-food’ category in the ultra-rapid categorization task. On the other hand, from the behavioral study we observed no significant difference in both reaction time (RT) and error rate (ER) in the above task. The result of this study is consistent with some previous experiments. For example, regarding the reaction, the findings can be compared with VanRullen & Thrope (2001) who also found no significant longer reaction time for ‘means of transport’ item in comparison with ‘animal’. The result of this study can also be interpreted from the perspective of ‘coarse-to-fine account’ hypothesis (Prass et al. 2013) which indicated that to recognize objects belong to basic level category one needs detail information with sufficient time. Since this study includes ultra-rapid visualization task participants did not get enough time to process objects of two different categories. Hence both reaction time and error rate were not significant in this regard.
Concept of Ekal Dravya Chikitsa (Single Drug Therapy) in Sushrut Samhita
Authors: Singh Rajani  , Rath Sudipta kumar
Published: March 2021

Ayurveda is a holistic health care system which, aims to offer the user an optimum health by alleviating diseases and helps in maintaining, promoting health by advising proper daily and seasonal regimen along with rationalized therapeutics when indicated. A good physician is one who uses minimum substances for desired effect or maximum results. From ancient past, it has been revealed that Ayurveda had a vast knowledge in the field of application of medicinal plants. Medicinal plants have significant importance in human life as it helps in maintaining human health and in improving the quality of life. Also this application in the form of single dravya has also been evidenced in many of Ayurveda texts.

Sushrut Samhita is one of the classical text of Ayurveda, basically a part of Brihatrayee, have been surviving from ancient time and considered to be an important treatise on medicine and surgery. It is one of the two foundational Hindi texts alongside the Charak Samhita, which includes knowledge about medicine as well as surgical training, instruments and procedures. Likewise in charak samita, use of EDC has been also mentioned in Sushrut Samhita for both inervention as well as surgical management of disease. Using Ekal Dravya for curing many disease has been mentioned in past by many of Aacharyas, considering Sushrut Samhita as the first Samhita of Ayurveda to use therapeutic interventions as well as surgical procedure for the management of clinical condition, It has been reviewed to assess the extent of use of EDC.

Using single herb for managing diseased condition has been evidenced at various instances in Sushrut Samhita in conceptual as well as in applied form. This provides an evidenced based proof that EDC was mentioned in our ancient Ayurvea texts which now need to be explored, so as to minimize the load on biodiversity for using minium herbs in a disease where it is sufficed.

Glycemic Control and Knowledge among Children and Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus; A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Abdelseed Nosaiba Ahmed Hussein
Published: March 2021

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term glycemic control by glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1c) and to assess knowledge about the diabetic regimen. The results of glycemic control in this study were compared with the results of a study conducted in 2018 that targeted almost a similar population.
Study Design: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Subjects and Methods: The study was conducted in October 2012 to December 2012 in a major referral Diabetic Centre. Diabetic children aged 8 to 18 years old who were attending the referral diabetic clinics were included in the study (n = 90). Knowledge of diabetes management was evaluated by using a semi-structured questionnaire and HbA1c results were obtained from medical records, available for only 71. Later, these Glycated Hemoglobin HbA1c results were compared with the results of a recent study carried out among Sudanese diabetic children and adolescents in 2018.
Results: Out of 71 diabetic children 78.9% were of poor glycemic control with mean HbA1c 10.36±2.14. On the other hand, the majority had good knowledge about the diabetic treatment including insulin administration, its storage conditions, and also the effect of exercise on blood glucose. However, almost 18.8% of studied participants did not know hypoglycemia symptoms, and about 11% of these patients were unaware of hypoglycemia management.
Conclusion: The study has indicated that a significant percentage of studied diabetic children and adolescents had poor glycemic control. Although children’s knowledge about insulin therapy was good, further study must be conducted to investigate factors related to glycemic control among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

ORDER IN THE SYSTEM OF NORMATIVE LEGAL ACTS: GENERAL THEORETICAL ASPECT
Authors: Чернышов А.В.
Published: March 2021

Аннотация. Статья посвящена исследованию системы правовых актов, в частности такой его разновидности как приказ. Отмечается, что правовые акты играют особую роль в процессе упорядочивания общественных отношений, посредством которых закрепляются определенные правила и требования как для всех граждан, так и для определенного круга лиц. Важное значение уделено процессу управления, который осуществляется посредством издания таких правовых актов органов управления как постановления, приказы, распоряжения, правила, инструкции и положения. Наиболее удобной формой выражения воли должностных лиц является приказ, с помощью которого возможно решение ежедневно возникающих вопросов в государственном управлении, а также утверждение им иных форм правовых актов (положения, инструкции, правила). Однако, отсутствие характеристики приказа в действующем законодательстве ведет к тому, что его относят к локальным актам, не обращая внимание на его нормативный характер. В статье проводится анализ дефиниции «приказ», выявляются его признаки, специфика применения в различных сферах.

The article is devoted to the study of the system of legal acts, in particular of such a variety as an order. It is noted that legal acts play a special role in the process of streamlining social relations, through which certain rules and requirements are established for all citizens and for a certain number of persons. The importance is given to management process which is carried out by means of the publication of such legal acts of governing bodies as resolutions, orders, orders, rules, instructions and provisions. The most convenient form of expression of the will of officials is an order, by means of which it is possible to solve daily issues in the public administration, as well as to approve other forms of legal acts (regulations, instructions and rules). However, the absence of a characteristic of the order in the current legislation leads to the fact that it is classified as local acts, without paying attention to its normative nature. The article analyses the definition of "order," identifies its characteristics, specifics of application in various spheres.
¿Cómo leer a Hegel en el siglo XXI? Tres lecturas contemporáneas en torno a Hegel
Authors: Cavallazzi Sánchez Alejandro
Published: March 2021

de una influencia notable en las interpretaciones de Hegel en el mundo anglosajón a partir de 1975 y que han representado una renovación de su recepción. El primer momento corresponde a la publicación de Hegel de Charles Taylor, que vigorizó los estudios hegelianos fuera del círculo académico en el que se habían desarrollado hasta entonces. Taylor presentó una lectura demasiado metafísica y que no era lo suficientemente apegada a la documentación histórica y bibliográfica a juicio de sus críticos. Uno de ellos fue Robert Pippin que en 1989 publicó Hegel’s Idealism: The Satisfactions of Self-Consciousness. Esta obra representó un nuevo giro en las inter- pretaciones de Hegel al proponer su obra como una continuación del idealismo trascendental kantiano y una perspectiva epistemológica de la obra hegeliana. El tercer y último momento corresponde a los trabajos de Stephen Houlgate y William Maker, que pretenden conciliar las lecturas anteriores al apelar a las intenciones de Hegel, en particular a lo presentado en la Ciencia de la lógica.

Filosofía de la antigüedad

Tomado del psiquiatra Eugen Bleuler, el concepto de ambivalencia fue descrito por Sigmund Freud como aquella “presencia simultánea en la relación con un mismo objeto, de tendencias, actitudes y sentimientos opuestos, especialmente amor y odio”.1 Esta disposición híbrida, en la cual convergen apegos positivos y negativos, paradójicos, siempre inten- sos, podría servirnos para el siglo xxi, cuando pensamos nuestro objeto de afecto más lejano y que, al mismo tiempo, parece habernos constitui- do indefectiblemente: lo antiguo, los clásicos, eso que amamos y odia- mos, que nos conforma y, tal vez, nos irrita.
Aquí y ahora: la deixis en los epitafios de la Grecia clásica
Authors: Arteaga Conde Evelia
Published: March 2021

En este texto se analizará la forma en que los elementos deícticos, específica- mente los de lugar (aquí) y tiempo (ahora), influyen para que algunos epitafios de la región ática, de la época clásica, sean considerados una representación de un “acto de habla”; es decir, cada vez que se leen se vuelve a presentar un acto comunicativo en un contexto determinado, con la presencia de tres elementos: emisor, receptor e intención del mensaje. Los epitafios son una fuente relevante para conocer el pensamiento griego: lo allí escrito debía tener sentido para la sociedad en su conjunto.
Sobre la relación entre el realismo estructural óntico y las ciencias especiales
Authors: Meier Thomas
Published: March 2021

El realismo estructural óntico afirma que no existen objetos individuales, sólo estructuras. Habitualmente, se cree que esta postura está basada en la física contemporánea. Sus simpatizantes concluyen que, al nivel ontológico más fun- damental, no hay objetos. En este trabajo, bosquejaré este punto de vista; antes discutiré las posiciones desarrolladas a favor de la primacía de la física y sobre cómo el realismo estructural óntico no tiene sentido en las ciencias especiales; este principio no ayuda en la discusión del realismo estructural. Además, abor- daré cómo el realismo estructural óntico puede tener sentido en otras discipli- nas distintas a la física. Para mostrar esto, plantearé un caso donde el realismo estructural óntico es plausible en la lingüística.
La filosofía del derecho en la Universidad Iberoamericana: el doctor P. Miguel Villoro Toranzo y el licenciado Efraín González Morfín
Authors: Ruiz de Santiago Jaime
Published: March 2021

Se presentan algunos rasgos biográficos de los autores a estudiar y puntos sobresalien- tes de su aportación a la filosofía del derecho. Ambos se destacaron por el plantea- miento integral del derecho como sistema racional de normas sociales de conducta, que regula con autoridad las relaciones del hombre con sus semejantes y soluciona los problemas planteados por la realidad histórica. De igual forma, por la clarificación de la teoría del derecho y sus consecuencias prácticas en la estructuración del Departa- mento de Derecho de la Universidad Iberoamericana (Miguel Villoro). Analizamos el analogado principal del concepto de derecho y postulamos que éste se da en la facultad moral de la persona sobre lo suyo. Esta concepción personalista del derecho puede aplicarse en la realización de la persona y la sociedad (Efraín González Morfín).
Processos cognitius que intervenen en l’aprenentatge del llenguatge escrit i dislèxia
Authors: Ivern Pascual Ignasi
Published: March 2021

La lectura és una activitat complexa que involucra la interacció de dos processos essencials: el reconeixement de paraules escrites i la comprensió. El primer procés, tot i ser de nivell elemental, ha de funcionar de manera òptima perquè es pugui assolir el component de més alt nivell, que és la comprensió lectora. En aquest article es revisen els models cognitius més rellevants que expliquen el reconeixement de les paraules escrites i l’accés al lèxic. En primer lloc s’analitza la influència que poden exercir factors com les característiques ortogràfiques d’una llengua i les característiques de cada paraula en particular. En segon lloc es fa una revisió del model de doble ruta i les seves variacions (Coltheart, 1981; Coltheart et al., 2001) i del model connexionista de Triangle (Seidenberg & McClelland, 1989; Seidenberg, 2007). Finalment, s’analitza la caracterització de la dislèxia prenent com a referència les aportacions dels models cognitius.
Treatment of metabolic syndrome and quality of life in patients with schizophrenia: a systematic review
Authors: RUIZ-PEREZ MAICA , LLISTAR-VERDÚ SALVADOR , FARRAS-PERMANYER LAIA , GOMEZ-HINOJOSA TARY
Published: March 2021

Schizophrenia affects around 0.3–0.7% people at some point in their lives - or 24 million people worldwide. This review covers topics of broad general interest that have seen significant development or progress in recent years. This paper aims to review the scientific literature of the past 10 years on metabolic syndrome regarding the quality of life of people with schizophrenia and the interventions carried out. A bibliographical search was conducted on Web of Science and PsycINFO, using the keywords of this study. More than 90 publications were found, 70 of which met the requirements. The main topic was schizophrenia, metabolic syndrome and quality of life. Those that focused on the effects of drugs were excluded. Although the association between mental illness and physical health problems has been convincingly demonstrated, numerous studies support the existence of dual physical health care neglect of people with schizophrenia. On the other hand, the modifiable risk factors are clearly defined to improve the physical health of these patients as well as the aspects which should be included in any approach to improve metabolic syndrome in particular, physical health in general, and thus modify the self-perceived quality of life. The data on psychoeducational treatments for this population were insufficient. However, some studies show that the implementation of behavioral interventions in clinical practice can help patients improve their overall health and prevent chronic disease. There are few studies on the application of ehealth devices to schizophrenic patients.
FEEDLOT PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS TRAITS OF YANKASA RAMS. I — EFFECT OF VARYING THE CONCENTRATE TO ROUGHAGE RATIO
Authors: Kwatu A. S. , Umunna N. N. , Chineme C .N.
Published: March 2021

Thirty-five Yankasa rams initially weighing 22.5kg on the average were individually fed one of five diets formulated to differ in the roughage to concentrate ratio: 70:30, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 30:70. The diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric. Average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency show­ed a linear response to increasing levels of dietary concentrate. Feed intake on the other hand did not reveal any significant difference. Both dry matter and nitrogen digestibility tended to increase with in­creasing dietary concentrate. Dressing percentage, kidney and mesenteric fats also increased with in­creasing concentrate level. Given the overall perfor­mance and current prices of feedstuffs, rams and mutton, it would seem that 50 to 60% dietary con­centrate is optimal for fattening.
