LABORATORY GERMINATION OF CERASTIUM IGOSCHINIAE POBED. (CARYOPHYLLACEAE) SEEDS - A RARE ENDEMIC OF THE NORTHERN URALS
Authors: Bystrushkin A.G. , Pismarkina E.V.
Published: July 2020

Cerastium igoschiniae Pobed. is a rare endemic of the Northern Urals, growing under specific conditions of high-mountainous stony tundra only on outcrops of ultrabasic rocks. A few populations of this species are threatened with extinction as a result of the destruction of their habitats during the development of ultrabasic rocks by mining companies in the Northern Urals. Previously, attempts to introduce this species were undertaken in the Botanical Garden of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, but were unsuccessful. In this regard, the aim of the research is to study the patterns of germination of C. igoschiniae seeds in controlled laboratory conditions. The dynamics of germination is convergent in nature and manifests itself uniformly in the studied population sample. The conditions for the germination of seeds of this species at a constant sufficiently high temperature of 25°C in the dark are close to optimal. Under such conditions, it is possible to predict a steady resumption of the population from the available seed pool based on the spatial uniformity of emergence of seedlings.
LOCAL ASPECTS OF REGIONAL DIVERSITY AND DYNAMICS OF MACROPHYTOBENTOS IN THE BLACK SEA (BLUEBAY)
Authors: Evstigneeva I.K. , Tankovskaya I.N.
Published: July 2020

The species composition, ecological structure, features of phytomass formation and their variability over time are described. The phytocenosis includes 46 macroalgae species of Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta and Rhodophyta phylums. Among the phylums, the highest diversity of species and genera was noted for Rhodophyta. The ecological structure of the phytocenosis is formed by algae from 12 ecogroups, among which marine, leading, annual, and oligosaprobic species dominate. Species of Ochrophyta phylum, and especially representatives of the genus Cystoseira , are most involved in the production process. A peculiarity of the temporal dynamics of the characteristics of the studied phytocenosis is high variability of the species diversity and phytomass of Chlorophyta, as well as the absolute number of species in ecogroups. The biological “norm” is not exceeded for intra-annual changes in the species diversity and phytomass of Ochrophyta, and the relative number of species in phylums and ecogroups. Rhodophyta in this respect is intermediate. Interannual fluctuations in the species composition, in contrast to intra-annual fluctuations, occur with lower intensity. The species proportion of phylums remains constant over time. It was shown that cystosiric phytocenosis, despite the anthropogenic press, retains the basic structural and functional features of macrophytobenthos of the Black Sea.

Published: July 2020

Objective: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) belongs to the Solanaceae family and currently is one of the most important vegetable crops. Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is a soil borne disease of tomato causing significant economic damage on tomatoes, tobacco and potatoes. Bacterial wilt is difficult to manage because the pathogen can survive in soil for long periods in association with a wide range of crops such as pepper, potato, capsicum, eggplants and weeds such as Jimson weed and nightshade. The objective of this study was to determine compatibility and performance of susceptible tomato cultivars grafted onto bacterial wilt resistant rootstocks.
Methodology: Scions from susceptible tomato commercial cultivars (Anna F1 and Cal J) were grafted onto rootstocks of Eggplant, Sodom apple and tomato cultivar Mt56 that were determined to be resistant to bacterial wilt in a previous study. Cleft grafting technique was used in the experiment. Data on compatibility was assessed daily to check on the healing of the graft union and number of established plants. The grafted plants were considered compatible if 67% of the grafted plants had healed and growth established fourteen days after grafting. Data were subjected to ANOVA using GenStat version 15 and significantly different treatment means separated using LSD at P < 0.05.
Results and application: The grafted plants were compatible at varying rates, that is Mt56 + Anna F1 (93.30%), Mt56 + Cal J (76.7%), S. melongena + Anna F1 (96.7%), S. melongena + Cal J (83.3%), S. incarnum + Anna F1 (73.3% ), and S. incarnum + Cal J (100%). It was concluded that tomato scions and the botanically related wilt resistant rootstocks are compatible. All the grafted plants performed well except those on Sodom apple rootstock whose stem did not expand at the rate as the scion stem. It is recommended that the proven resistant rootstocks be deployed to tomato farmers for use in tomato grafting and subsequent increase in their production.

Mulherio da ousadia: a ressignificação de Capitu a partir das estratégias metaficcionais de Ana Maria Machado em "A audácia dessa mulher"
Authors: Oliveira Santos Karla Vivianne , Teixeira Lopes Sebastião Alves
Published: July 2020

Ela tinha olhos de cigana, oblíqua e dissimulada. Assim era Capitu, descrita por Machado de Assis sob o olhar do menino Bentinho, em Dom Casmurro. Esta personagem é recriada por Ana Maria Machado, em A audácia dessa mulher (2011), obra publicada em homenagem ao centenário do clássico machadiano. A autora nos apresenta mulheres audaciosas, descontentes com o papel de subserviência que a tradição patriarcal insiste em lhes reservar. Sob o viés da crítica literária, as estratégias narrativas utilizadas pela autora em seu romance podem ser consideradas metaficcionais, uma vez que promovem uma autorreflexividade do texto, em que este se volta sobre si mesmo, contendo, em seu bojo, questionamentos ou comentários sobre o seu estatuto ficcional, narrativo, linguístico e também sobre o seu processo de produção. Tendo isso em vista, este trabalho busca averiguar de que maneira essas estratégias promovem a ressignificação da personagem Capitu na referida obra. Para tanto, utilizamos as contribuições teóricas de Linda Hutcheon (1991), Patrícia Waugh (1985), Zênia de Faria (2012), Gabriela Patrocinio (2014). Em nossa análise, podemos compreender melhor o papel que a personagem machadiana desempenhava no contexto do século XIX e de que maneira a autora do século XX resgata e ressignifica sua trajetória.
Ópera de mulher: projeto de encenação e interpretação musical
Authors: Viana Isabel , Oliveira José Luís de
Published: July 2020

Na interpretação de uma obra musical cantada, em particular de uma ópera, o cantor-ator tem um papel determinante na transmissão não só das componentes informativas, a nível do texto musical e literário, mas também dos estados emocionais das personagens, através de indicadores ou marcadores não verbais. Neste artigo apresentamos uma proposta de encenação e os métodos que usamos para fundamentar teoricamente o projeto. Trata-se da interpretação de dez personagens femininas soprano de óperas italianas do século XIX, composto por duas árias de cada um dos cinco compositores italianos escolhidos: Lucilla: “Sento talor nell'anima” [Rossini, La scala di seta (1812)]; Anna: “Giusto Ciel in tal periglio” [Rossini, Maometto II  (1820)]; Norma: “Casta Diva” [Bellini, Norma (1831)]; Elvira: “Qui la voce sua soave… vien diletto” [Bellini, I Puritani (1835)]; Marie: “Ciascun lo dice” [Donizetti, La Figlia del Reggimento  (1839)]; Rita: “E’ lindo e civettin questo caro alberguccio” [Donizetti, Rita (1841)]; Gilda: “Tutte le feste al tempio” [Verdi, Rigoletto (1850)]; Oscar: “Volta la Terra...” [Verdi, Un Ballo in Maschera (1859)]; Anna: “Se come voi piccina io fossi” [Puccini, Le Villi (1884)]; Musetta: “Quando men vo” [Puccini, La Bohéme (1895)]. O espetáculo tem a duração de cerca de 45 minutos e tivemos particular atenção aos estados emocionais de cada uma das personagens, para a interpretação das respetivas árias, bem como a cenografia e os adereços.

Com este projeto, concluímos que, ainda que vocal e tecnicamente possa ser bem executada, não é possível realizar uma correta interpretação de uma ária sob o ponto de vista dramático sem conhecer previamente a personagem, a sua personalidade e, especialmente, os estados emocionais presentes em cada um dos momentos

Youth Unemployment and Electoral Malpractices in Nigeria
Authors: Akokuwebe Monica Ewomazino
Published: July 2020

In Nigeria, elections have been marred by various forms of malpractices in which youth often play prominent roles. The economic crisis and the accompanying structural adjustments in Nigeria have resulted in the alienation and marginalization of the youth, thereby exacerbating the whole phenomenon of youth restiveness. The National Bureau of Statistics reported that 42.24% of Nigerian youths were unemployed and 15.2 million youths remain unemployed in the economy in 2016. This unemployment scenario heightens the potential for violence and thus, political elites mobilize the pool of unemployed youths, often along ethnic, religious and party affiliations, as vital violent arsenals to manipulate and disrupt electoral processes. This paper, therefore, examines the nexus between electoral malpractices and youth unemployment in Nigeria. Guided by Rational Choice and R. K. Merton of Anomie theories, this paper argues that the present condition of massive youth unemployment is capable of engendering demographic dividends and national development. The paper concludes that to harness the advantages of a youthful population, the issue of unemployment should be accorded priority attention by among others creating the enabling environment for job opportunities. That way, youth are empowered and would less likely be involved in normless activities including electoral malpractices and violence
Ifa Therapeutic Practices among Yoruba People in Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Owumi Bernard E. , Okewole Yusuf B.
Published: July 2020

This study examined the Ifa therapeutic system with a view to describing the method, use of herbs and sacrifice employed in treatment process. Although several studies highlighted the importance of traditional healing methods among Yoruba people, none has fully described the systematic process involved in the Ifa practice. Ethnomethodological theory provided the framework. Moniya and Iseyin were purposively selected as study areas. A survey study of 134 respondents was employed through snowballing technique. Twelve In-depth Interviews and two Focus Group Discussions were conducted among Ifa priests in study areas. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics while qualitative data were content analyzed. Ifa, being a word of God containing therapy, was performed through divination. Its systematic method relied on procedures and measures domiciled in the 256 corpuses interpreted by Ifa priests. The system is applied to combating illness linked to both physical and spiritual causal agents. The steps involved in the process of providing cure included consultation (68.7%), making herbal mixtures in combination of many organic and inorganic elements (71.6%) and use of sacrifice (67.9%). Ifa therapeutic system is procedural and mainly includes use of herb and sacrifice. In conclusion, Ifa therapy should be formalized to complement western medical care
Experiences of Ageing and Social Support for the Elderly in Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Ani Judith Ifunanya , Isiugo-Abanihe Uche C.
Published: July 2020

Studies on the elderly in Nigeria have largely focused on their care and support. There has been negligible attention on how the care and support they receive affect their experiences and perception of aging. Thus, the study explored the experiences of aging and support for the elderly in selected local government areas in Ibadan Nigeria. It specifically examined the sources and nature of care and support, experiences and perception of aging as well as their coping strategies in the context of declining traditional care and support. The study was guided by a theoretical synthesis of the wealth flow theory and modernization theory. It was a cross-sectional study that triangulated quantitative and qualitative methods. Questionnaires were administered to randomly selected 444 respondents aged 65 years and above, while in-depth interviews were administered on 20 respondents across the study area. Data were analyzed at univariate and multivariate levels, and the qualitative data were content analyzed. Contrary to many Nigerian studies that averred that children have ceased to take care of their aged parents, this study found that they still do although the amount of care and support provided by children is inadequate relative to the needs of the elderly. This has tended to compel the elderly to continue to work till advanced ages, with the majority earning less than N20, 000.00 (less than $100) per month. The study recommends the need for a social security and welfare policy on aging backed by a strong political will and gender sensitivity in its implementation.
Perception of Feeding Practices in Home Management of Childhood Diarrhoea in Ibadan North East Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria
Authors: Fasasi Lukman Tunde , Jegede Ayodele Samuel
Published: July 2020

Diarrhoea accounts for one in five deaths amongst children in Nigeria. In home management of childhood diarrhoea, cultural diversity exists in people’s perceptions of appropriate feeding practices during and after diarrhoeal episodes. This study examined factors that influenced people’s perceptions of feeding practices in home management of childhood diarrhoea in Ibadan North East Local Government Area of Oyo state, using Weberian social action theory. The study design was exploratory using qualitative techniques. Sixteen (16) In-depth interviews (IDIs) for mothers of under-five children, six (6) Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) for Community leaders, Herbalist and Nurses in public health institutions, and four (4) Focus Group Discussions were conducted. Teething, poor sanitation and consumption of some foods were perceived as responsible for high prevalence of diarrhoea amongst children. Mothers’ perceptions of type of food to be served to children, and number of feeding times, during and after diarrhoeal episodes varied according to their social status and food culture of their local environment. The study concluded that mothers’ perceptions of feeding practices in home management of childhood diarrhoea were influenced by culture, religion and socio-demographic factors. Injurious beliefs should therefore be dropped towards enhancing success of primary health care (PHC) programme
Child Adoption Investigation in Nigeria: Challenges and Options
Authors: Onayemi Olayinka Modupe , Aderinto Adeyinka Abedeen
Published: July 2020

Based on qualitative information gathered through nine sessions of in-depth Interview with Social welfare officials and 10 Key informant interviews with five orphanage managers, and five legal practitioners, the study examined the conduct of adoption investigation in three purposively selected Nigerian states. Anchored in the functionalist theory, the study argues that conducting a reliable investigation of child adoption is essential. This is premised on the notion that investigation is highly pivotal to a successful adoption and the ultimate goal of adoption. The study therefore examined the reliability of, and challenges to reliable adoption investigation in Nigeria. Findings revealed that the manner of adoption investigation does not guarantee reliable child placement and security. More so, the process is challenged with unavailability of requisite logistics, lack of synergy between adoption officials, insufficient training and retraining of adoption official and lastly, legal regime backing up the practice. A more systematic and supported investigation is thereby recommended.
Perpetrators’ Profiles in Urban Patriarchies: An Investigation of Domestic Violence against Men in Ibadan, Nigeria
Authors: Busari Dauda A , Owojuyigbe Michael A. , Ajao Ifeoluwa E.
Published: July 2020

In urban patriarchies, the voices of male-victims of Domestic Violenceare relegated to the background. Tounderstand the rootsand improve risk prediction,there isneed to profile female perpetrators of domestic violence against men. This paper bridges this gap by characterizing female offenders and typifying profiles in an exploratory crosssectional study of female perpetrators in Ibadan. Akiwowo’s variation in the theme of sociation was used to explain this paper. Quantitative and qualitative data were obtained from a total of 120 male victims of domestic violence from Ibadan North Local Government Area of Oyo State, using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics and typologies.Traits that prompted abuse of partners among women included economic independence, physical size, peer-influence, developmental issues, substance use and abuse, the need for retaliation, and a troublesome nature.Seven profile types of perpetrators were identified in this light. This paper affirms that perpetrators of DVAM are varied and refutes notions that give the impression that men are only abusive to women while women are passive recipients of abuse.
Ponzi Schemes: An Analysis on Coping with Economic Recession in Nigeria
Authors: Jack Jackson T.C.B. , Ibekwe Christopher Chimaobi
Published: July 2020

The proliferation of Ponzi schemes in Nigeria appear to coincide with the official declaration of economic recession in early 2016. It is therefore pertinent to empirically investigate the nexus between the recession and Ponzi schemes in the country. Anchored theoretically on Robert Merton’s Strain Theory the study was guided by two research objectives and one hypothesis. The snow-balling sampling technique was used to select 135 Ponzi scheme participants from Rivers, Bayelsa and Anambra States. Descriptive analysis of the results was undertaken in tables, charts and graphs. The findings revealed amongst others that MMM, Ultimate cycler, Givers Forum, Get Help World Wide were the major Ponzi schemes in Nigeria. It was also found that Ponzi schemes are a coping strategy for economic recession. The paper posits that until the economic downturn is adequately addressed and the economy revamped, Ponzi schemes would continue to thrive in Nigeria. It recommended economic revitalisation through effective economic diversification policies that will enhance provision of socio-economic livelihood as palliatives to recession induced strain.
Sexual Abuse of Elderly Women in Southwest Nigeria: A Sociological Exposition of an Emerging Crime
Authors: Adedayo Sunday S. , Aborisade Richard A.
Published: July 2020

Indeed, appreciable research has considered the dynamics of sexual assault involving young victims. However, very little criminological research has considered the dynamics of sexual abuse of elderly people. To fill this void, this current study developed a profile of sexual abuse cases among women aged 50 and older, based on the accounts of their abusers. Specifically, the study investigated the motives and mechanisms for sexual abuse of the aged in the country as well as the factors that account for the vulnerability of aged women. A sample of 21 elderly sexual abuse offenders from six prisons in Ogun and Lagos states were purposively engaged to shed some light on the nature and dimensions of sexual abuse of elderly women in the country. Results from qualitative analyses of official demographic and offence history data, and in-depth interviews of offenders challenge a couple of commonly held beliefs, assumptions and assertions about sexual abuse of elderly in literature, news journals and public discourse. As against a general belief that young men that sexually abuse older women are ‘money ritualists,’ this study found sexual violence history, mental illness, substance abuse, and sexual deviancy as factors fuelling perpetrators’ action. The majority of perpetrators were intrafamiliar offenders who are family members, neighbours, workers and associates of the victims. Offenders expressed awareness of usual non-reporting of sexual victimisation by the abused, which is a factor that encourages intrafamiliar offending. As a growing social menace in Nigeria, sexual abuse of the elderly is factored by neglect, and exposure of adults to both environmental and situational pressures. Therefore, proper caregiving, meeting of essential needs of the elderly, response from the criminal justice system and encouraging reportage of sexual victimisation are suggested.
Childhood Malaria Prevention and Treatment Options: A Study in Giwa Local Government Area, Kaduna State – Nigeria
Authors: Dambo Yusuf
Published: July 2020

Malaria is among the major public health issues in Nigeria. Although various preventive and treatment techniques have been adopted by people in different locations, the disease remains a big concern among households in areas where its transmission is endemic. This study on childhood malaria prevention and treatment options utilized quantitative and qualitative data collected among mothers of under five children, household heads and health workers. Findings revealed that despite the divergent views about malaria causation, 66.7% of respondents attributed malaria to mosquito, 53.3% claimed that children under five are the most vulnerable to the scourge and further revealed that the majority of mothers in the study area used Insecticide Treated Net (ITN) for prevention, the incidence of malaria during the survey was less than 50%. Though different treatment options were available in the area hospital was the most common option for malaria treatment among the people. The study concluded that modern preventive technique (ITN) was used for malaria prevention despite its low coverage among children; malaria treatment expenses were the major challenge identified by the respondents.

Published: July 2020

Conventional power flow (CPF) algorithms assume that the
network resistances and reactances remain constant regardless of the weather
and loading conditions. Although the impact of the weather in power flow
analysis has been recently investigated via the weather-dependent power flow
(WDPF) approaches, the magnetic effects in the core of ACSR conductors have not
been explicitly considered. ACSR conductors are widely used in distribution
networks. Therefore, this manuscript proposes a three-phase weather-dependent
power flow algorithm for 4-wire multi-grounded unbalanced microgrids (MGs),
which takes into consideration the impact of weather as well as the magnetic
effects in the core of ACSR conductors. It is shown that the magnetic effects
in the core can significantly influence the power flow results, especially for networks
composed of single-layer ACSR conductors. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm
explicitly considers the multi-grounded neutral conductor, thus it can
precisely simulate unbalanced low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV)
networks. In addition, the proposed approach is generic and can be applied in
both grid-connected and islanded networks. Simulations conducted in a 25-Bus
unbalanced LV microgrid highlight the accuracy and benefit of the proposed approach.
MM-PHD filter-based sensor control for tracking multiple maneuvering targets hidden in the DBZ
Authors: Wu Weihua
Published: July 2020

To improve
the performance of tracking multiple maneuvering targets hidden in the Doppler
blind zone (DBZ), we put forward the idea of using sensor control technique to
suppress the DBZ masking problem for the first time, by utilizing the principle
that the absolute Doppler of a target with respect to a sensor is affected by
the target-to-sensor relative geometry and extending multi model probability
hypothesis density (MM-PHD) filter for DBZ masking to the partially observable
Markov decision process (POMDP) framework. First, the process flow of sensor
control is systematically constructed based on our existing work. Second, in
the core sensor controller module, we devise three objective functions
(including a new safety indicator ensuring sensor safety, a novel reward rule
for the DBZ avoidance, and the Cauchy-Schwarz divergence (CSD) compatible with
the multi-maneuvering-target tracking) and a decision-making logic for the
selection of control commands. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of
the proposed control scheme are verified through numerical examples, and it is
demonstrated that it is obviously superior to the random control strategy and
the earlier work without using the control technology.
El Ecoturismo en Quintana Roo. Análisis de sus Proyectos Comunitarios.
Authors: Domínguez Estrada José Francisco , Osorio García Maribel
Published: July 2020

Este trabajo aporta un diagnóstico comparativo por zonas con cierto grado de consolidación de los proyectos ecoturísticos comunitarios en el Estado de Quintana Roo. La tendencia expansiva del turismo en Quintana Roo hacia el interior del estado, hace necesaria la actitud proactiva de las comunidades para insertarse en proyectos turísticos en condiciones favorables para la actividad, y no ser espectadores marginales del desarrollo. Por ello, el análisis de las prácticas de ecoturismo en Quintana Roo que aquí se presenta, se realizó desde la óptica del turismo comunitario generado por las empresas ecoturísticas. La investigación realizada es de enfoque mixto y comparativo, basada en la información obtenida de la encuesta aplicada a 49 distintos casos de estudio. Por tal motivo, se analizó el impulso del ecoturismo como alternativa de desarrollo local para el estado de Quintana Roo, con factores vinculados a los servicios, actividades paralelas, infraestructura básica, equipo especial y actividades, como productos turísticos competitivos. Los principales hallazgos revelaron que los mejores resultados se desarrollaron siempre en todos los aspectos en la zona centro maya de Quintana Roo, en cada uno de los 23 proyectos que realizan actividades de ecoturismo. Destacaron por orden de importancia, para ver el grado de potencialidad de cada uno de ellos en cuanto a prestación de servicios, actividades paralelas, distribución de infraestructura básica, equipamiento especializado en turismo de aventura, ecoturismo, turismo rural, y sobre todo en las actividades a desarrollar destacando el ecoturismo como actividad principal, seguidas del turismo rural y en tercer parámetro el turismo de aventura, haciendo énfasis en el valor que le dan a la parte comunitaria para el desarrollo de proyectos. En lo que respecta a las zonas norte y sur, convergen en darle al ecoturismo su principal herramienta para desarrollar proyectos comunitarios, seguidos del turismo de aventura y muy lejos del desarrollo al turismo rural.
El cuerpo sin órganos
Authors: Valencia García Eric
Published: July 2020

Desde hace un par de años asisto a Intensidades de lectura, un grupo de estudio dedicado a El Anti Edipo, escrito por Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari. Acogido por Zona de Desgaste, espacio dedicado al estudio del arte contemporáneo, el grupo se ha ido integrando con asistentes de los más distintos perfiles, lo que ha permitido acercamientos desde campos que exceden a la filosofía y al arte. Pronto me encontré haciendo dibujos y esquemas para aproximarme a las ideas que los autores ofrecen. Como respuesta a la invitación a colaborar en El ornitorrinco tachado, retomo los bocetos anteriores para producir una pequeña serie de esquemas-pinturas basados en las páginas 11 a la 35 de la edición de Paidós (1985). El texto corresponde a una parte de la descripción del cuerpo sin órganos, un concepto filosófico que describe (dicho a muy grandes rasgos) cómo el deseo, en tanto productor de la realidad, es un objeto en disputa entre el individuo, lo social y los aparatos de poder. He incluido un código debajo de algunas imágenes que señala los conceptos utilizados así como las páginas del libro de donde surgen estas imágenes.

Doy cuenta de la deuda que este ensayo visual tiene con Intensidades de lectura y en particular con Sandra Sánchez, quién ha llevado una investigación de largo aliento sobre los potenciales estéticos y expresivos de los esquemas.

Parafraseando a los autores de El Anti Edipo, valga el esfuerzo por entender el deseo y encontrar en él posibilidades revolucionarias.
Acceso al derecho de asilo de los niños, niñas y adolescentes no acompañados en México
Authors: Rea Granados Sergio Alejandro
Published: July 2020

Este artículo tiene la finalidad a estudiar los diferentes problemas, realidades y retos que enfrenta la niñez refugiada no acompañada en México para acceder al procedimiento de asilo en México. Sobre todo, cuando el fenómeno de la movilidad humana ha tenido gran relevancia en esta región de las Américas debido a las políticas actuales migratorias, las cuales tienden a darle mayor prioridad al tema de seguridad, que a los derechos humanos de los niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) con indicios de desprotección internacional. Al respecto, se utilizará el método sistemático y de revisión bibliográfica, para analizar el problema del acceso al procedimiento de asilo de la niñez refugiada en México y, los retos que enfrentan en cuanto a sus derechos humanos. Esta propuesta toma como referencia los planteamientos abordados desde la perspectiva del derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y del derecho de los refugiados.
Dinámica del retorno de los migrantes y reinserción laboral en el municipio de Taniche, Oaxaca
Authors: Lustre Díaz Teresa Griselda , Espinosa Trujillo Marco Antonio , Velasco Elizabeth Ojeda
Published: July 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue conocer la reinserción laboral y los factores que explican su proceso. El estudio se realizó en Taniche, Oaxaca, una comunidad rural con un índice de intensidad migratoria alta y con registros de migración de retorno. Es un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, con metodología cualitativa. Se consideraron a los migrantes que retornaron a Taniche durante el periodo 2015 a 2017. Los resultados de esta investigación muestran que los migrantes retornados se reinsertan en empleos precarios reproduciendo así las mismas condiciones que motivaron su emigración.
Externalidades ambientales y resiliencia lacustre en la Ciénega de Chignahuapan, México
Authors: Orozco-Hernández María Estela , Flores-Salgado Gratia Deii , Díaz-Ramírez Ilse Ibeth
Published: July 2020

Este estudio analiza los conflictos que producen los modos de apropiación de los recursos naturales y las externalidades ambientales que alteran las funciones ecosistémicas de la Ciénega de Chignahuapan o Atarasquillo. Se utilizó literatura, documentos oficiales, estadísticas y cartografía, la observación in situ y la información oral de los actores sustenta la base empírica de la investigación. Las externalidades regionales que amenazan la estabilidad del cuerpo lacustre expresan cambios de uso de suelo, disminución de los servicios hídricos del bosque, contaminación de afluentes, construcción de vialidades regionales, actividad industrial, re densificación demográfica, urbanización y sub urbanización. Las externalidades locales manifiestan alteración del régimen hidrológico, quemas de tule, introducción de peces exóticos, contaminación por descargas residuales crudas, proliferación de malezas terrestre y acuática, transferencia de los derechos de la actividad cinegética y aprovechamiento de subsistencia de los recursos lacustres. La presión exhibe un escenario desalentador que anticipa descenso de la capacidad natural del ecosistema lentico para superar las externalidades negativas. La visión sostenible prescribe estrategias de colaboración, autogestión y regulación, con el objeto de que las industrias acaten la responsabilidad ambiental para tratar y conservar el agua; los gobiernos incrementen la capacidad de tratamiento de aguas residuales y los usuarios mejoren el uso y cuidado del recurso. En las unidades de manejo monitorear el cumplimiento de la conservación, aplicar la ley en materia cinegética y prácticas ilegales, regular el arrendamiento cinegético por terceros, recuperar el conocimiento tradicional y desarrollar proyectos alternativos que moderen el uso de los recursos lacustres.Palabras clave: Externalidades, resiliencia, Ciénega, apropiación, recursos naturales.
Vibration switch compensation for maglev flywheel based on standard LMS algorithm
Authors: GAO Hui
Published: July 2020

In maglev flywheel system, unbalance interference signals synchronous with the flywheel frequency would be produced because the flywheel rotor quality is uneven. The signal can reduce system control precision and stability, and make the system produce unbalance vibration, so the signal should be filtered to reduce the effects to the control system. A kind of vibration switching compensation control strategy is proposed based on the standard LMS algorithm and one PID controller. The flywheel real-time rotation frequency is looked as the switching reference, different LMS algorithm step size and different PID controller parameters are adopted in different rotational frequency. Simulation and experiment results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the switch compensation strategy, can reduce the control current amplitude, and make the flywheel rotate around the inertial principal axis as much as possible.
