Regional wetland status and sensitivity to disturbances near Fox Creek, Alberta
Authors: Ingram R , Munir T M , Xu B
Published: July 2021

Wetlands cover large areas of Alberta's boreal regions. They play critical roles in flow regulation and flood control, groundwater discharge/recharge, and pollutant filtration. Peat-forming bogs and fens sequester and store large amounts of atmospheric CO2 and
harbor a variety of wildlife. The Fox Creek study area is located between the Upper Peace River and Upper Athabasca Watersheds. Within the 6501.3 km2 extended study zone, wetlands cover 1344.2 km2 or 20.7% of the area. Fen is the most abundant wetland class (45.5%), followed by swamp
(37.2%), shallow open water (9.1%), bog (7.1%), and marsh (1.1%). Within the 90 km2 local study area near Fox Creek, wetland coverage is relatively low at 4.7 km2 or 5.2%. Swamp is the most abundant wetland class (56.8%), followed by fen (36.4%), shallow open water
(4.5%), and bog (2.3%). Natural disturbances such as warming and changing fire regimes, and human disturbances such as forestry and oil and gas activities can greatly affect the water balance, hydrology, and vegetation within a watershed, leading to the loss of critical function and services
provided by natural wetlands. Reclamation and restoration of boreal wetlands has come a long way since the early 2000s, although significant knowledge gaps and technical challenges remain.
Analysis of time and frequency domain of mining induced seismicity at Kidd Creek Mine, Ontario
Authors: Laverdure L
Published: July 2021

The complex structural geology and deep mining level at the Kidd Creek Mine leads to increased levels of rockburst activity. A full waveform analysis of mining induced seismicity was therefore proposed to Kidd Creek Mine of Falconbridge Ltd. by CANMET. Five
hundred and ninety-one events were recorded by a portable seismograph (PDAS) between March and September 1991. Forty events were retained for analysis, consisting of mining induced seismic events and a few blasts.
Three types of waves were recorded: P- or compressional, S- or shear, and surface waves. The latter are rarely recorded in mining seismicity because the sensors are usually glued to bedrock. However, surface wave propagation at Kidd Creek was recorded by a triaxial accelerometer placed on the
concrete floor of a storage room.
Thirty-nine of the forty events recorded by the PDAS were also recorded by the Kidd Creek MP-250 rnicroseismic system, and located using CANMET's BBLOCK program. Sixteen of these events were also located using the simplex algorithm. The two source location methods agree to within a few meters. On
June 27 1991, a major rockburst of magnitude 2.6 Mn was recorded by the PDAS, (which because of a power failure, was not recorded by the MP-250). The source location was estimated to be 441 meters away from the PDAS.
The source mechanism had a significantly higher shear than compression-dilatation component as illustrated by the energy content of the P- and S-waves. The magnitude of events was estimated from the energy values with the events greater than 1.4 Mn being confirmed by the Geological Survey of Canada
in Ottawa.
An attempt to analyze the data in the frequency domain was made but due to short source-receiver distances, i.e., less than one kilometre, this analysis could not be performed. This was because the frequencies contained in the waves were higher than the maximum sampling rate and higher than the 200
Hz hardware filter cut-off frequency, intrinsic to the PDAS.
However, recognition of this fact would enable a reasonable analysis of data to be done for any future study either by placing the PDAS further away from the seismic activity or by designing a more adequate instrument.
Rhinoscleroma
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar , Debta Priyanka , Sahu Mahesh Chandra
Published: July 2021

Background:

Rhinoscleroma (RS) is a chronic granulomatous disease due to infection of Klebsiella rhinoscleromatis. It often affects the respiratory mucosa, especially the nasal cavity and sometimes extends lower respiratory tract. RS is more common in certain geographical area than in others, but the pathogenesis and the risk factors of RS are still unclear.

Materials and Methods:

This was a retrospective study done between January 2014 and December 2019. The diagnosis of the RS was done on the basis of clinical presentations and histopathological findings. Details of clinical findings, investigations, and treatment were analyzed.

Results:

There were 13 cases of RS diagnosed after confirmation with histopathological examination. The female to male ratio was 1.6:1 with a mean age of 36 years. The most common clinical presentation was nasal obstruction. All were treated with ciprofloxacin. Relapse occurred in three cases which were confirmed by biopsy.

Conclusion:

RS is a rare clinical entity in Eastern India. Awareness of the clinical presentations of RS and early diagnosis will reduce the morbidity of this disease.

Published: July 2021

Background:

Assessment of multidimensional locus of control (MLOC) will reveal the effect of professionalization among dental students. The aim of this study was to know the possible factors with effect health locus of control (HLC) of Indian dental students.

Methodology:

The study population comprised 230 dental students. MLOC was recorded using Form type C with 18 questions. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05.

Results:

Comparison of the mean scores for the three-multidimensional health locus of control subscales (Internal, Chance, and Powerful Others) from the first year to the final year showed that the mean score for the Internal subscale was consistently higher, followed by the mean scores for powerful others and chance in all the years of study. The Internal subscale mean increased from the first year to the second year of study and then decreased from the third year to the final year of study (P = 0.004).

Conclusion:

Internal HLCs dominated the study population, and the mean internal scores increased from the first BDS to the final year.
Evaluation of Corneal Biomechanical Properties in Spherical and Toric Soft Contact Lens Wear
Authors: Mishra Neeta , Tandale Mamta , Madan Veshal , Chotaliya Rekha , Bajare Uday
Published: July 2021

Purpose:

Corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor was found to be less for patient wearing toric contact lens as compared to soft spherical CH was calculated as the difference in air pressures between force-in applanation (P1) and force-out applanation (P2), or (P1–P2).

Materials and Methods:

This was the prospective study, 40 eyes of 22 patients with mean age of 22.09 ± 4.05 years. Eleven eyes were fitted with soft toric contact lens and 29 eyes were fitted with soft spherical contact lens. Dry eye, keratoconic or any systemic pathology were excluded. Soft toric and soft spherical contact lenses (Comfilcon A, Coopervision, and Southampton, UK) were fitted. The Ocular response Analyzer (Reichert Ophthalmic Instruments, Depew, New York, USA) was used to measure CH before and after 3 months using soft toric and soft spherical contact lenses. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the demographic data. Paired t-test was employed for analyzing the difference between the base line value of CH with soft toric and soft spherical contact lens wearers after 3 months. Independent t-test was used to find the association between CH and gender.

Results:

CH was found to be lesser after 3 months of soft toric contact lens wear, as compared with soft spherical contact lenses. Mean increase of CH was found to range from 10.44 ± 0.96to 10.80 ± 0.96 mmHg (P = 0.000).

Conclusion:

In this study, there was a decrease in CH after using soft toric contact lenses and increase after using soft spherical contact lenses for 3 months. The increased CH with soft spherical contact lens was reversible in nature. However, CH may differ between lens type and modality of wear which can lead to long-term changes in the corneal biomechanical properties.
Uniformly quasi-Hermitian groups are supramenable
Authors: Azam Mahmud , Samei Ebrahim
Published: July 2021

Motivated by the recent result in Samei and Wiersma (2020,Advances in Mathematics359, 106897) that quasi-Hermitian groups are amenable, we consider a generalization of this property on discrete groups associated to certain Roe-type algebras; we call ituniformly quasi-Hermitian. We show that the class of uniformly quasi-Hermitian groups is contained in the class of supramenable groups and includes all subexponential groups. We also show that they are invariant under quasi-isometry.
Analytic order-isomorphisms of countable dense subsets of the unit circle
Authors: Burke Maxim R.
Published: July 2021

For functions in$C^k(\mathbb {R})$which commute with a translation, we prove a theorem on approximation by entire functions which commute with the same translation, with a requirement that the values of the entire function and its derivatives on a specified countable set belong to specified dense sets. Using this theorem, we show that ifAandBare countable dense subsets of the unit circle$T\subseteq \mathbb {C}$with$1\notin A$,$1\notin B$, then there is an analytic function$h\colon \mathbb {C}\setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb {C}$that restricts to an order isomorphism of the arc$T\setminus \{1\}$onto itself and satisfies$h(A)=B$and$h'(z)\not =0$when$z\in T$. This answers a question of P. M. Gauthier.

Characterization and Expression Profiling of Glutathione Peroxidase 1 gene (GPX1) and Activity of GPX in Onychostoma macrolepis suffered from Thermal Stress
Authors: Yu Haibo , Wang Chi , Deng Wei , Liu Guohao , Liu Sha , Ji Hong
Published: July 2021

In this study, full-length cDNA of glutathione peroxidases 1 (GPX1) of Onychostoma macrolepis was cloned by RACE, and expression of GPX1 and activity of GPX in O. macrolepis suffered from heat stress were analyzed. Compared with the control group (24°C), the experimental fish were stressed for 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours at the heated water (30°C). Liver had highest level and response speed in GPX1 expression among various tissues after heat stress, indicated that liver was the highest sensitive tissue to heat stress. When the water was raised to the heating temperature (30°C), the GPX activity decreased in fish serum, and the consumption of GPX eliminated the increase of ROS caused by heat stress within 3h. However, after 6h and 12h stress at 30°C, GPX activity was significantly higher than that at 0h (P<0.05), which is due to the rapid response of GPX to heat stress. In summary, fish showed a transient stress response and was acclimated to the new temperature after 24 h according to the overall expression of the GPX1 and the serum GPX activity, and both GPX1 and GPX play crucial roles in this process.
Fish Protein and Its Derivatives: Functionality, Biotechnology and Health Effects
Authors: Alp Erbay Esen , Yesilsu Ahmet Faruk
Published: July 2021

Animal derived proteins provide the essential amino acid requirements of a healthy diet. Among animal proteins, fish proteins have a well-balanced amino acid composition that are imperative for beneficial synthesizing and utilizing proteins in the body. Lack or low levels of any amino acid reduce the other amino acid utilization proportionately. This is why plant-derived proteins are potentially at a disadvantage for use in the body since they have relatively low levels of the essential amino acids methionine and lysine. Health studies have revealed that fish protein is suggested as a weight-loss diet to obese patients.
Kompozicijske zasnove v slovenski instrumentalni glasbi zadnje četrtine 20. stoletja
Authors: Stefanija Leon
Published: July 2021

Razglasitev postmodernosti za nekakšno »uravnavajočo idejo« sodobne kulture je – skupaj s prepričanjem o »nepreglednosti« umetniških hotenj – ustoličila stališče, da je sodobni skladatelj neizogibno primoran k predrugačevanjem preteklih kompozicijskih praks. Razlog temu je dejstvo, da je ideologija Novega, tako značilna za glasbeno zapuščino 20. stoletja, izgubila nekdanjo ostrino. Zdi se, da ta domala nevprašljiva poteza sodobne skladateljske prakse temelji na podmeni o manku skupnega obzorja meril. Problematika »postmoderne nepreglednosti« je bolj priča družbene perpleksnosti kakor pa znamenje kompozicijskih značilnosti. Gre namreč za vprašanje miselne drže: kaže pojmovanje glasbene postmodernosti kot »tisočerih soobstoječih ogledal« razumeti kot nov, splošno uveljavljen zgodovinopisni korektiv ali kot begajoči konec nekoč domnevno homogenega razvoja kompozicijske preteklosti? Vendar to vprašanje presega okvir tega prispevka, osredotočenega na kompozicijski aparat. Zato bi želel pretresti utemeljenost omenjene podmene predvsem z ozirom na simfonično glasbo, značilno za zadnji desetletji 20. stoletja na Slovenskem.
The 500th anniversary of the first music printing: a history of patronage and taste in the early years
Authors: Boorman Stanley
Published: July 2021

Ottaviano Petrucci published his first book of music, the Odhecaton A, sometime in the summer of 1501, 500 years ago. Since it was the first, Petrucci faced a number of special problems. Some were financial, for he could not know how many people would buy printed music, or how many books they would want. Consequently, there was a danger that he might not sell as many books as he needed to cover his costs. A related set of problems concerned the choice of music to print: would his books be bought by professional musicians and their institutions, or by dilettantes, courtiers and amateurs? Could chansons be expected to sell better than church music? Petrucci's answers to these problems would depend on whether he had to finance his editions himself, or whether some patron or musician would offer to underwrite an edition for him. Using bibliographical and biographical data, this paper argues that some of Petrucci's earliest editions were speculative ventures on the part of his partners and himself, while others were probably commissioned from Petrucci by an outside patron. Petrucci seems to have had to balance speculative with commissioned editions throughout his career: the market may not have been big enough to support only speculative editions. It was certainly not big enough to support more than one publisher of music. This situation seems to have continued well into the 1530s arguing that the big expansion in amateur musicians did not occur until then.

Glasbenoteoretski opus Srečka Koporca
Authors: Šramel Urška
Published: July 2021

V zapuščini Srečka Koporca (1900–1965) je ohranjen obsežen opus teoretskega pisanja o glasbi. Poznanih je okrog dvajset Koporčevih zvezkov, ki so nastali od leta 1926, ko je napisal prvi del glasbenega oblikoslovja, in vsaj do 1960, ko je dokončal svojo Orkestracijo. Besedilo nudi kratek vpogled v Koporčevo glasbeno teorijo, ki je v slovenski muzikologiji še precej neraziskana, zaradi obsega dostopnega gradiva pa odpira vrata za nadaljnjo raziskovanje.
Glasboslovni instrumentarij v času premen znanstvenih obrazcev
Authors: Bergamo Marija
Published: July 2021

Prispevek obravnava položaj  glasboslovne  stroke in njenih orodij glede na zapletenost konteksta (širšega, t.i. stvarnosti in ožjega, strokovnega), v katerem ji je delovati in napredovati. Kot ovire (tako za umetniško delo kot za oblikovanje znanstvene disciplinarne matrice) izpostavlja razsrediščenost naravnega okolja, v katerem ni zaslediti enovitejšega nazora, obstoj različnih, posamičnih kontekstov in, posledično, izločenih teoretičnih polj. Tudi glasboslovje zajemajo procesi dehomogenizacije, izgube zgodovinskega spomina in konstruiranja problemov, ki ne izhajajo iz vitalnih nalog stroke. Včerajšnjo estetsko refleksijo, v kateri se prežemata teoretična bit znanosti in estetska bit umetnosti, danes nadomešča komaj pregledna ponudba teoretičnih sistemov, modelov, analitičnih metod. Teorije se ukvarjajo druga z drugo, bolj kot s fenomeni, ki naj bi jih razlagale. Pri tem se pogosto prezrejo  tiste teoretične podmene in zasnove, ki so vkomponirane v glasbeno delo in v njem presnovljene. Teorija pogosto sama gradi tako nalogo kot tudi instrumentarij za njeno razreševanje. Tudi muzikologija vse bolj postaja avtoreproduktivna in avtoreferencialna znanost. Perspektive? Na svoji nadaljnji poti bo gotovo morala ponovno najti pot do prvotnega, organskega glasbenega impulza, ki naj bi vodil misel o glasbi. Oprla naj bi se tudi na novopridobljeno pravico  do osebnega  odzivanja  na pojave, do interpretacije kot temeljnega glasbenega operativnega načela, celo do znanstvene avanture kot posledice silovite osebne izkušnje z umetnostjo. Vendar se dvom v možnost ponovne vzpostavitve trdnejšega referenčnega sistema in enovitejšega pogleda na celoto zdi še nadalje upravičen.

Adorno as Critics – Mozart, Wagner and Strauss in the Light of the Aesthetic Theory
Authors: Kogler Susanne
Published: July 2021

There is no doubt, that Adomo's critical monographs and essays on Wagner and Strauss, as well as the text on Sibelius, number among the most controversially discussed parts of his oeuvre. One important reason for this controversial reception is the fact that these writings combine philosophical and musical views. As far as the musicologists are concerned, the texts lack a detailed analytical perspective; from the philosophical point of view on the other hand, the deliberations are too much dominated by musical phenomena. This text, which was written for a lecture held at the Musicology Department of the University of Ljubljana in April 2005, aims at placing Adorno's music criticism in the context of his critical aesthetics and in his musical philosophy respectively, which he summed up in his Aesthetic Theory. By doing so the most important criteria, which refer directly to the critical perspective of his thought concerning language and culture in general, shall be focused upon. The article consists of four parts: The first part will focus on Adorno's ideas on 20th century art in general, for these theoretical thoughts constitute the basis of his thoughts on music and musicians. In the second part, Adorno's demands of musical criticism are placed in the centre of interest. The third part discusses Adorno's critique of Wagner by comparing it to his views on Mozart. The fourth and last part provides a detailed analysis of Adorno's two essays on Richard Strauss. Beside Adorno's Aesthetic Theory his writings on music criticism, in particular the paper held in 1967 at the Institute for Musical Criticism and Aesthetical Research of the former Music Academy in Graz entitled »Reflections on musical criticism«, his Essay on Wagner and his two papers on Richard Strauss written in 1924 and 1964 serve as textual basis for the following consideration.
Struktura repertoarja glasbeno-gledaliških del novega Deželnega gledališča (1892-1903)
Authors: Lah Špela
Published: July 2021

Otvoritev nove stavbe Deželnega gledališča, ki je luč sveta ugledala v začetku sezone 1892/93, dobrega pol desetletja po uničujočem požaru, je pomenila zgodovinsko prelomnico v slovenski glasbenogledališki poustvarjalnosti. Temeljni kamen operni reprodukciji je slovensko gledališče postavilo sicer že leta 1889, prave pogoje za delo pa je vendarle dobilo šele pod streho novega gledališča, katerega si je delilo skupaj z nemškim vodstvom. Medtem ko so gostujoče nemške družine nadaljevale dolgoletno tradicijo gledaliških predstav, so Slovenci neobremenjeno začeli na samem začetku. Razlika med vodstvi se je pokazala že v prvi sezoni delovanja. Nemci so repertoar prilagajali sposobnostim sezonskih izvajalcev in predvajali največkrat le malo opernih predstav (ali celo nobene), medtem ko so pri oblikovanju sporeda Slovenci dali glavno težo ravno operam. Pričujoče besedilo se osredotoča na prvo dekado delovanja novega Deželnega gledališča. Ločeno sledi najprej nemškemu, nato še slovenskemu glasbenogledališkemu programu. V ospredju zanimanja so operne premiere na eni in drugi strani, pospremljene z odzivi kritik v aktualnih lokalnih časopisih, kot sta Laibacher Zeitung in Ljubljanski zvon. Upoštevajoč tedanje razmere in okoliščine je namen članka podati predvsem strukturni prerez repertoarjev obeh gledališč, ne pa same kvalitete izvedenega, saj so ocene predstav zaradi nacionalnega momenta vprašljivo objektivne in zato med seboj težko primerljive.

In(-)formations. The Meaning of Paratextual Elements in Debussy's Syrinx
Authors: Cobussen Marcel
Published: July 2021

According to Gérard Genette, paratextual elements can be defined as that what comes against, beside, and in addition to the text (a score for example) 'itself'. In that sense, they are always subordinate to 'their' text. The paratext is all material other than, though very closely connected to, the 'actual' text: the cover, the author's name, the title, preface, illustrations, notes, etc. It is therefore located in the space between inside and outside, the space between still belonging and not yet belonging to the text. This essay first of all investigates how paratextual elements (especially breath marks) are necessary to provide a musical text (in this case Debussy's Syrinx for solo flute) with a (temporary) meaning and how they direct possible interpretations. Secondly, this essay also suggests that within the musical text 'itself', paratext is always already present (for example in ornamentation). However, in Syrinx, the borders between text and paratext are remarkably porous, creating a noteworthy questioning and shifting of hierarchies.
Deconstructing voice
Authors: Dolar Mladen
Published: July 2021

The paper takes its starting point in Derrida's famous essay 'Plato's Pharmacy',  one of the birthplaces of deconstruction. After briefly delineating Derrida's argument about phonocentrism and the pharmakon as both the poison and the cure, it tries to argue for a different view about the relationship of voice and writing. If one takes a closer look at Plato's conception of music, one can see that Plato sees the danger not only in the supplementarity of writing, but also in the voice itself. The voice, if it strays away from the firm footing in the word, in logos, has the perilous property of presenting the pure frivolous enjoyment, it threatens to mollify the spirit by its sensuality and effemination and thus to undermine the very bases of social and moral structures. Thus it appears that the analysis of pharmakon can apply equally, or even more appropriately, to the voice as to writing. A long tradition followed in Plato's footsteps and the paper briefly examines St. Augustine, the problems that the voice presented for church music and finally the French revolution, which tried to legislate in musical matters unwittingly following Plato's recipes. So throughout the metaphysical tradition the voice was not merely seen as the safeguard of phonocentrism and the 'metaphysics of presence', but presented also the perilous underside of dislocating the presence, not merely supporting the logos, but also dismantling it. The history of music massively testifies to the inherent ambiguity of the voice itself. So the problem is not just deconstructing the voice as the pledge of phonocentrism, but also of the voice being itself deconstructive of the presence. Hence the ambiguity of the title.
Critical Questiones About Deconstrution or About De-Centring Of The Relation Between Philosophy And Music
Authors: Šuvaković Miško
Published: July 2021

Entirely dissimilar endeavours of problematizing a canonic positioning of music, musicology, aesthetics and philosophy through self-comprehensiveness of a piece-as-a-source hoe et tunc, have led to criticism ar deconstruction of 'self-comprehensiveness' and 'objective autonomy' of music as an art, and of a music piece as a carrier or a centred source of music as an art. Those scarce approaches can be specified from Adorno's contextualization in critical theory, Jacques Attali's developing the theory of  exchange, to the New Musicology critiques oriented towards studies of culture, such as those of Richard Leppert, Susan McClary or Rose Rosengard Subotnik, which emphasize autonomy of music, or can be recognized in the psychoanalytical theorization of materialistic functions/effects of music and opera, such as of Mladen Dolar and Slavoj Žižek. From the teachings on deconstruction of the philosopher Jacques Derrida, directly ar indirectly entirely different approaches and applications are drawn, concerning hybrid and plural acts of interpretation of the canonic positioning  of music, musicology, aesthetics and philosophy. In the further text I shall dwell on identifying and interpreting of a problem-oriented approach to the canonic relation of music, musicology, aesthetics and philosophy.
A mixed culture performing nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation and the nitrite removal mechanism revealed by high-throughput sequencing
Authors: Yan Han , Li Jianzheng , Meng Jia , Wang Xin , Tang Lianggang , Kumar Jha Avinash
Published: July 2021

Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) has been regarded as a promising effective approach to nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, n-DAMO bacteria are very difficult to be enriched in biological wastewater treatment processes. An anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (AnSBR) was introduced in the present study for the enrichment of n-DAMO bacteria with cornfield soil as inoculum. Fed with nitrite (NO2−) and methane as the specific substrates, a NO2− load removal as high as 46.16 mg/(L·d) was obtained in the AnSBR since the 232nd day of enrichment culturing, though the relative abundance of Candidatus Methylomirabilis referring to n-DAMO bacteria was 2.37% in the acclimatized mixed culture. High-throughput sequencing of the obtained mixed culture revealed that the community structure was complex with the coexistence of n-DAMO bacteria, methanotrophs, heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria and hydrolytic fermentation bacteria. Analysis of interactions among the prevalent microbial populations suggested that Candidatus Methylomirabilis had played a key role in the metabolic network of the mixed culture. The research work presented a novel approach to the enrichment of n-DAMO bacteria from cornfield soil and was helpful in understanding the role of n-DAMO bacteria in complex matrices.
The Use of Social Media as a Marketing Tool by Tourist Attractions: Influence on Cognitive, Affective and Behavioural Consumer Attitudes
Authors: Nzeku Bongiwe , Duffett Rodney Graeme
Published: July 2021

Social media has an enormous influence on the manner in which people look for and distribute data, and select a tourist destination. Hence, research was undertaken to ascertain the role of social media as a communication and marketing tool for Cape Town tourist attractions (Cape Point, Groot Constantia Wine Estate, V&A Waterfront, Table Mountain Aerial Cable Way and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens) via the analysis of tourists’ cognitive, affective and behavioural attitudinal responses. The results revealed that tourists displayed positive cognitive/affective and affective/behavioural attitude associations towards social media usage by the Cape Town tourist attractions. Several demographic and usage characteristics resulted in significant positive attitudes regarding Cape Town tourist attraction social media sites, viz. South African and African tourists; mobile device access; new social media users; daily log-ons; Black, Indian and Coloured tourists; and tourists who used the local Rand currency. The findings could be used by Cape Town tourist attractions to improve their social media platforms, and thereby the effectiveness as a marketing tool. The study makes an original contribution since few tourism-related studies investigated the hierarchy of effects model in terms of social media and most previous research only considered usage and demographic characteristics as descriptive measures.

Published: July 2021

Ontolojik ve epistemolojik sorulara cevaplar arayan hemşirelik bilimi, geçmişten günümüze mesleğin temelini ve sınırlarını araştırmış, hemşirelik biliminin öncüleri mesleğin özünü çeşitli felsefi perspektiflerden açıklamaya çalışmışlardır. Hemşireliğin ilerlemesi ve gelişmesi için devam eden bu arayış, Thomas Kuhn'un “normal bilim” kavramından etkilenmiştir. Kuhn’un bilimsel devrimi, hemşirelik bilgisinin, metaparadigma ve paradigmalarının gelişiminde rol oynamıştır. Bu etkiye rağmen, hemşirelik biliminin merkezine aldığı insanın çok yönlü yapısı ve hızlı değişim gösteren sağlık hastalık süreçleri nedeniyle hemşirelik paradigmasının gelişim süreçleri ve Kuhn’un bilimsel devrim anlayışı arasında farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı Kuhn’un bilimsel devriminin hemşirelik paradigması üzerine etkilerini, ortak yanlarını ve farklarını literatür ışığında tartışmak ve eleştirel olarak analiz etmektir.

Giriş: Hastanede yatmak hem çocukları hem de annelerini psikososyal açıdan etkilemektedir. Çocuklarda görülen psikososyal semptomların ve annelerinde görülen endişenin erken dönemde saptanması, hemşirelerin bu sorunlara yönelik gerekli müdahaleleri planlaması ve uygulaması için oldukça önemlidir. Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı hastanede yatan 6-12 yaş grubu çocuklarda psikososyal semptomları ve annelerinin endişelerini tanımlamak ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-ilişki arayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırma, Temmuz-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 6-12 yaş grubundaki 120 çocuk ve anneleri oluşturmuştur. Veriler; “Bilgi Formu”, “Hastanede Yatan Çocuklarda Psikososyal Semptomları Tanılama Ölçeği”, “Ebeveynlerin Endişe Kaynakları Ölçeği” ile elde edilmiş ve tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis H, Spearman korelasyon testleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Hastanede yatan 6-12 yaş grubu çocukların %62.5’i erkek, %68.3’ü 7 günden daha kısa süredir hastanede yatıyor ve %58.3’ü birden fazla hastanede yatma deneyimi yaşamıştır. Hastanede yatan erkek çocukların Öfke ve Saldırganlık düzeyi daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Çocuğu henüz okula başlamamış ve çocuğunun hastalığı 7-15 gündür devam eden annelerin endişe düzeyi daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Çocukların hastanede yatmaya bağlı psikososyal semptomları ile annelerinin endişe düzeyleri arasında zayıf düzeyde pozitif yönlü, çocukların yaşı ile psikososyal semptomlar ve annelerinin endişe düzeyleri arasında zayıf düzeyde negatif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Hastanede yatan çocuklarda psikososyal semptomların ve annelerinde görülen endişenin hafif düzeyde ve ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet ve yaş hastanede yatan çocuklarda psikososyal semptomları, çocukların okula başlama durumu ve hastalık süresi ise annelerinin endişe düzeyini etkilemiştir. Hastanede yatan çocuklar ve annelerinin yaşadıkları psikososyal sorunlar bakımından birlikte değerlendirildiği araştırmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.

Published: July 2021

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Sosyal Bilgiler dersi kapsamında Türkiye’deki kültürel farklılıkların öğrencilere tanıtılmasının planlandığı bir üniteye ait ihtiyaç analizinin yapılmasıdır. İhtiyaç analizlerinin temel amacı, bir öğretim programının hedef ve içerik boyutlarında bulunması gerekenleri ortaya koymaktır. Bu sayede eğitimciler, öğrencilerin gereksinimlerini daha iyi kavrar ve hangi konulara ne düzeyde yer verilmesi gerektiğine somut veriler ışığında karar verebilme olanağına sahip olurlar. Bu araştırmada, öğretmen ve öğrenci görüşlerinden yola çıkılarak yapılacak bir değerlendirme ile söz konusu değerlerin Sosyal Bilgiler öğretim programına ne yoğunlukta eklenmesi gerektiğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu konuda işe koşulacak bir ihtiyaç analizi çalışmasının, toplumsal beklentilere cevap verecek daha işlevsel bir öğretim programının geliştirilebilmesine yol açacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmenleri ve ortaokul öğrencileri ile yapılan görüşmeler sonucunda öğrencilerin, ilgili konudaki farkındalıklarının, farklılıklara saygı duyma durumlarının ve empati becerilerinin istendik seviyede olmadığı ve geliştirilmeye muhtaç olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu bağlamda yapılması önerilen, kültürel farklılıkların öğrencilere tanıtılmasının amaçlandığı hedef ve kazanımlara öğretim programlarımızda daha yoğun bir şekilde yer vermektir. Sosyal bilgiler dersi, ilgili kazanımların öğrencilere aktarılması noktasında nitelikli bir araç olabileceği gibi sadece bahsi geçen kazanımların yer aldığı yeni bir ders ile bu amaca ulaşmaya çalışmanın daha doğru bir yol olduğu düşünülmektedir.

The paper investigates the representation of subjects in the field of institutional education of preschool children in the pedagogy study programs at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Nis. Within the theoretical part, the paper presents the development of pedagogy study programs, from its establishment until today, at all three levels of study, with special reference to the subjects that are directed toward the education of future pedagogues in the field of preschool education. The paper uses a descriptive method and content analysis technique. The basic units of analysis are the status of subjects and the number of classes. The results of the analysis showed that the subjects related to the education of preschool children are present in all study programs and at all levels of study. The findings indicate that the largest number of changes in the status of subjects and the number of classes marked study programs at the level of bachelor academic studies, while significantly smaller changes are present at the level of master’s and doctoral academic studies. The obtained results can be a starting point for future research in order to create study programs in the next cycles of accreditation.
Woyie t’ woyie: Recuperar conocimientos, saberes y prácticas del pueblo wichí para una transformación epistémica intercultural de los sistemas de salud
Authors: Elías Gloria Silvana , Zamora Libia Tujuayliya Gea
Published: July 2021

Este escrito parte de un dato de la realidad argentina: las políticas públicas en materia de salud llevadas a cabo por el Estado nacional desde su conformación, desconocen e invisibilizan las epistemes y los horizontes de sentido de aquellos pueblos originarios que lo precedieron. Por tanto, urge pensar caminos posibles de construcción entre el Estado y los pueblos indígenas que arriben a sistemas sanitarios interculturales. Para mostrar concretamente este dato de realidad que postulamos, el escrito aborda la problemática sanitaria Estado-pueblos indígenas en una zona particular de la provincia de Salta, habitada por comunidades wichís. Allí, se implementó un programa que atendía en territorio aspectos primarios de la salud, pero este programa perdió rápidamente apoyo estatal. A partir de analizar dicha experiencia, focalizada sobre todo en niños y madres niñas, este trabajo arroja algunos resultados y conclusiones: elevada mortalidad infantil por desnutrición; ausencia de atención primaria de la salud en territorio; desconocimiento y desinterés profundo del gobierno por recuperar las epistemes de dichas comunidades y elaborar un sistema sanitario intercultural y, más grave aún, las comunidades wichís son víctimas de una pobreza extrema a causa de acciones y omisiones de un Estado que históricamente las ignora y subestima.
Principales factores del incumplimiento tributario del Impuesto al Valor Agregado en Guatemala
Authors: Hernández Salguero Mindi Paola
Published: July 2021

La principal fuente de ingresos del Estado de Guatemala está representada por los ingresos tributarios, estos han permitido financiar los gastos públicos y por ende satisfacer las necesidades colectivas de los ciudadanos. En este sentido, es el Impuesto al Valor Agregado -IVA- el que representa el mayor peso recaudatorio en los ingresos tributarios, sin embargo, es el impuesto que ha manifestado la mayor tasa de incumplimiento. Por consiguiente, se identificaron los principales factores que inciden en el incumplimiento tributario del Impuesto al Valor Agregado –IVA- tales como: baja cultura tributaria, economía informal, falta de percepción de riesgo de control y fiscalización en el contribuyente. La investigación se apoyó en el método científico descriptivo, que permitió analizar de lo general a lo específico y utilizar fuentes primarias y secundarias, que coadyuvaron a comprobar la hipótesis y concluir que el incumplimiento tributario del IVA, transciende en contribuyentes registrados y no registrados de la base tributaria, que los programas de cultura tributaria efectuados, no han reflejado un cambio de actitud  al cumplimiento tributario voluntario del ciudadano, que la afectación de la economía informal, además de incurrir en la recaudación, repercute en competencia desleal, entre otros. Este panorama, permite tener un acercamiento de las principales aristas de incumplimiento y con ello plantear posibles soluciones, para contrarrestar el incumplimiento tributario del IVA en Guatemala.
Aplicación del Control de Convencionalidad en el Orden interno en casos de Juicios Políticos
Authors: Cordón Vargas Víctor Hugo
Published: July 2021

El control de convencionalidad en el orden interno desde su nacimiento ha experimentado diversos obstáculos que han impedido en ocasiones lograr el pleno respeto al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos por parte de las jurisdicciones nacionales; sin duda el tema que por antonomasia nos ocupa en el centro del debate es la jerarquía entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno, concretamente la Constitución y su relación con los tratados internacionales de derechos humanos. Pues, derivado de los conflictos que en dichos ámbitos se originen y dependiendo de cuál de esos ámbitos tenga primacía sobre el otro, se advertirá la forma en la cual, se van a proteger los derechos humanos contemplados en las constituciones de cada Estado.

El objetivo del presente ensayo es resaltar los aspectos más importantes del control de convencionalidad en el orden interno en caso de juicios políticos, analizando los estándares establecidos por la jurisprudencia interamericana. El artículo 23 de la Convención Americana sobre Derechos Humanos contempla el derecho fundamental a participar en la función pública con igualdad de oportunidades, esto puede interpretarse, no únicamente relativo al derecho del voto sino como relativo al derecho que tienen los funcionarios públicos, de ejercer las funciones del cargo, según hayan accedido a éste por elección o por designación.
