PHARMACOGNOSTICAL EVALUATION OF SHATAVARI (ASPARAGUS RACEMOSUS WILLD.) ROOT COLLECTED IN DIFFERENT SEASONS – A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Authors: Unadkat Kinjal , Daniel Muthiah , Jani Dilip K.
Published: December 2021

Background: In the current scenario, plant-based traditional medicines are providing a base for treating various diseases. It has been reported that 80% of the population of the world depends upon traditional medicine. It has been also shown that many factors like habitat, climate, temperature, season etc can affect the quality of medicinal plants. The study was conducted to explore such Ayurvedic documented literature with pharmacognostical study. Aim: To study macroscopic and microscopic characters of the drug samples collected in four different seasons according to Ayurveda classics. Materials & Methods: In the present study, four samples of Asparagus race- mosus were collected in four different seasons- Grishma, Pravrut, Sharad and Shishira Ritu (May, June, October, and January) based on Ayurveda classics for comparing the pharmacognostic characters so that they can be dis- tinguished from each other. Results and Discussion: The influence of seasons on four different samples was observed in terms of the sizes of roots, xylem vessels, phloem, raphide bundles of calcium oxalate etc. Conclusion: The seasons on the roots of Shatavari exhibited an effect in macroscopical and microscopical characters. Thus, it can be said that the season for collection of the drug has an important role to validate the factors that influence the potency of the drug.

A RANDOMISED CONTROLLED CLINICAL TRIAL TO STUDY THE EFFICACY OF SATYADI CHURNA AND VYAGHRI CHURNA IN TAMAKA SWASA
Authors: Narayanan Anagha , Shetty Susheel
Published: December 2021

Background and Objectives: Tamaka Swasa is a form of Swasa Roga primarily affecting the Pranavaha Srotas characterized by Swasakrichratha, Ghurghuraka, Teevra vega Swasa etc. Tamaka Swasa in Ayurvedic classics appears to be similar to Bronchial Asthma. Several medications are available in today’s medical system to treat this disease, but they are known to cause a variety of side effects. Hence, the suffering population is turning to conventional remedies for better relief. In this regard, Ayurveda can provide promising results in Tamaka Swasa with varieties of treatment modalities. In light of these considerations, the aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of two Ayurvedic formulations Satyadi Churna listed in Swasakarmavipaka adhyaya in Brihat Nighantu Ratnakara and Vyaghri Churna mentioned in Curnakalpana Adhyaya in Sharangdhara Samhita in the treatment of mild to moderate Bronchial Asthma.
Materials and Methods: 40 Tamaka Swasa Subjects were selected those fulfilling the diagnostic and inclusion criteria. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups. Comparative analysis of the overall effect of the treatments in both the Groups was done statistically with Mann- Whitney Rank Sum Test and within the Group comparison with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. Results: Within the group comparison showed statistically significant results for all the criteria in Group A while in Group B except Peenasa all other criteria showed statistically significant results. Conclusion: When comparing both groups Satyadi Churna showed better improvement in the symptoms of Tamaka Swasa than Vyaghri Churna. Hence H1 holds good and proved.

A CONCEPTUAL STUDY ON THE EFFECT OF NARIKELA KHANDA IN AMLAPITTA
Authors: Thakur Balaji , Kumari Priyanka , Pratap Singh Bhanu
Published: December 2021

Nowadays due to unawareness about Prakriti (psychosomatic constitution) people are practising inappropriate diet and lifestyle which leads to disturbances in the digestive system. The core principles in Ayurveda give prime im- portance to Agni, Prakriti, Ahara (food) and Vihara (lifestyle) in maintaining health. In the present era, people are scheduled to one or the other works due to which they are following unwholesome food and habits which may lead to the manifestation of many diseases. One of the common disorders which troubles a person a lot is Amlapitta. It is composed of the word Amla and Pitta. Amlapitta is a very common disease caused by Vidagdha Pitta with features like Amlaudgara, Tiktaudgara, Hrud Kantha Daha etc. It is the GI disorder described in Ayurvedic texts that closely resembles Gastritis in modern science. In the chronic stage, it may lead to ulcerative colitis. In modern medical science, they give some anta-acids, H2 blockers, Proton pump inhibitors, some steroids which have high prevalence costs and side effects. Today there is a need for a potent herbal formulation that can cure hyperacidity and ulcers. The present study is being undertaken to approach the disease Amlapitta through the formulation of Narikela Khanda.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made the tourism industry in Malaysia decline drastically. The outbreak has continued for almost two years and has decreased local and international tourist arrivals. The decline is because of the Movement Control Order (MCO) execution, and safety precautions were issued when travelling. Nevertheless, the impressive rate of deterioration in pandemic transmission gives a new shade to domestic tourism. The Tourism Ministry has put forward an initiative that can revitalise the economic sector in the country by introducing the travel bubble destinations among Malaysians. With that, the main purpose of this study is to explore the travel bubble risk anxiety, risk attitude, and intention to travel among Malaysian when COVID-19 is still plaguing the nation. A self-administered survey was conducted online using a snowballing technique. The data collected was keyed in and analysed according to the objectives of this study. The main findings of this study highlighted that those respondents would feel anxious and worried about their safety when participating in the travel bubble. Statistical significance also revealed the respondents’ intentions to travel during the COVID-19 outbreak. Further discussions of the findings were also highlighted to deliberate the implications of the study.

Sports globally are also affected and impacted because of COVID-19. Time sports although often associated with healthy physical activity and its ability to improve the ability to improve health, these sports activities are seen as more dangerous if continued. Global concerns trigger a disturbing world life phenomenon in all aspects of life especially to the countries hit by this epidemic. This limitless and borderless COVID-19 pandemic forced various major world sporting events to be postponed. Sports are all physical activities performed to express feelings and convey value through the physical behavior as well as to test the skills of an individual with other individuals who venture into the same field of sports through competition based on the rules that have been set. As a clearer understanding, a pandemic occurs when many individuals can be infected with a disease easily and the disease can spread from one individual to another continuously without hindrance around the world and have a huge impact on sporting events.

Published: December 2021

Fungi could absorb heavy metals, metalloids, or radionuclides, thus fungal species possess great potential in bioremediation. Since fungi absorb the vanadium, in the present study ability of Coprinellus truncorum mycelia for vanadate uptake and its intracellular metabolism were investigated. The submerged cultivated C. truncorum was exposed to a rising concentration of vanadate. 31P NMR spectroscopy was used to investigate phosphate metabolism of the mycelium, while the status of vanadium in the cell was followed by 51V NMR spectroscopy. The mycelium could grow, and overcome vanadate presence, up to the concentration of 1.6 mM in the submerged medium. 31P NMR measurements pointed out that vanadate induced changes in the concentration of the crucial metabolite containing phosphorus, particularly sugar phosphates. The major result of vanadate action is evinced through an appearance of a signal positioned at around 2.8 ppm, and an increased signal of hexose- phosphates. Using 51V NMR spectroscopy the presence of vanadate monomer in the mycelia of the fungal cell was confirmed.

Selenium salts have been known for long time to have a potential for both beneficial and harmful effects on living organisms. It is present in the environment, where it can be readily assimilated by plants and fungi, thus entering the food chain. We investigated the cell growth dynamics in the presence of selenite which is considered to have more toxic potential than selenate. The effects of selenite (1 mM) on the growth of fungi from the activated spores to the end of the exponential growth were measured on several hypha morphological parameters by microscopy in vivo. Phycomyces blaekesleneeanus was used as model filamentous fungus. The most striking effect of Se+4 treatment was inhibition of hypha growth, resulting in more than four times shorter hypha in Se+4 –treatment group than in the control (200 ± 50 µm, n = 50 vs 900 ± 100 µm, n = 40 respectively) at the end of exponential growth period under controlled conditions. The Se+4 effect was an inhibition and not a simple delay in growth, as hypha length did not change significantly from 27th to 30th hour of culture in Se+4-treatment group. Since the microscopy was performed on live cultured cells, undisturbed cytoplasmic streaming was observed, confirming that hyphae were alive at all time points measured. 30h old spore diameters were also significantly reduced by Se+4 treatment (p = 0.0365), while hypha diameters were not significantly altered.

We synthesized and characterized the ruthenium(III) pincer-type complex [RuCl3(H2Lt-Bu] (H2Lt- Bu = 2,6-bis(5-tert-butyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)pyridine, 1) by elemental analysis, IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS) method ESI Q-TOF. For comparison reason, we also studied ruthenium(III) terpyridine complexes of the general formula [Ru(N-N-N)Cl3] where N-N-N = 4′-chloro- terpyridine (Cl-tpy; 2) or 4′-chlorophenyl-terpyridine (Cl-Ph-tpy; 3). Kinetic study of the substitution reactions of 1–3 with biomolecules showed that the rate constants depend on the properties of the spectator ligand and the nature of the entering nucleophile. To gain further insight into the reactivity of ruthenium complexes with potential biological targets, we examined the interactions of 1 – 3 with DNA and HSA. The DNA/HSA binding study showed that in comparison to complex 1 (bis– pyrazolylpyridine), the other two (2 and 3) terpyridine complexes had a slightly better binding affinity to calf thymus DNA (CT DNA), while in the case of human serum albumin (HSA), complex 1 exhibited the most strong quenching ability.

Published: December 2021

Gallic hydrazones, as gallic acid derivatives, are known as pharmacophores of numerous multipotent agents. Among them, antiproliferative activity is one of the most important. On the other hand, thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1) is a part of the thioredoxin system, one of the most important systems responsible for maintaining the redox equilibrium inside the cell. It is overexpressed in different forms of tumors. Bearing this in mind, TrxR1 is a valid target for the development of compounds with potential antiproliferative activity. For this purpose, eight gallic acid-based hydrazones are selected and examined in silico for their potential inhibitory activity towards TrxR1.

Mentha piperita and Melissa officinalis are both well-known medicinal plants that have applications in traditional medicine. In this research the antibacterial activity of the ethanol extracts of M. piperita and M. officinalis was examined against 14 bacterial strains via the microdilution method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of ethanol extracts of both plant species ranged from 0.312 to 20 mg/mL. Standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 at a concentration of 0.312 mg/mL and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 at a concentration of 1.25 mg/mL showed the highest sensitivity to the ethanol extract of M. piperita. Ethanol extract of M. officinalis showed antibacterial activity on standard strains of S. aureus ATCC 25923 and B. subtilis ATCC 6633 at a concentration of 0.625 mg/mL. In addition to the mentioned standard strains, it showed activity on the isolate from the food Proteus spp. at a concentration of 0.312 mg/mL and isolate from the wound Proteus mirabilis at a concentration of 0.625 mg/mL. Mechanism of action of the ethanol extract of M. officinalis was examined on the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane. The effect of the extract on the increased permeability of the cell membrane was measured based on the release of proteins and the percentage of crystal violet binding. Ethanol extract of M. officinalis has been shown to act at the level of the cell membrane in the following bacterial strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. aureus and Enterococcus spp.
On the Applications of Bochner-Kodaira-Morrey-Kohn Identity
Authors:   Faculty of Science and Arts in Baljurashi, Saudi Arabia, SABER Sayed
Published: December 2021

This paper is devoted to studying some applications of the Bochner-Kodaira-Morrey-Kohn identity. For this study, we deﬁne a condition which is called (Hq) condition which is related to the Levi form on the complex manifold. Under the (Hq) condition and combining with the basic Bochner-Kodaira-Morrey-Kohn identity, we study the L2 ∂ Cauchy problems on domains in ℂn, Kähler manifold and in projective space. Also, we study this problem on a piecewise smooth strongly pseudoconvex domain in a complex manifold. Furthermore, the weighted L2 ∂ Cauchy problem is studied under the same condition in a Kähler manifold with semi-positive holomorphic bisectional curvature. On the other hand, we study the global regularity and the L2 theory for the ∂-operator with mixed boundary conditions on an annulus domain in a Stein manifold between an inner domain which satisfy (Hn−q−1) and an outer domain which satisfy (Hq).

Fullerenes graphs are 3-connected, 3-regular planar graphs with faces including only pentagons and hexagons. If be a graph with a perfect matching, a subgraph H of G is a nice subgraph if G-V(H) has a perfect matching. In this paper, we show that in every fullerene graph arising from smaller fullerenes via chamfer transformation, each pair of pentagons is a nice subgraph.

Bases moleculares de los mecanismos epigenéticos
Authors: Lacunza Ezequiel
Published: December 2021

La definición de epigenética más común se desprende de su propio término: “epi” (sobre, arriba, más allá) y “genético” (secuencia de ADN), refiriéndose a una capa de información que existe más allá de la codificada en la secuencia del ADN, lo que hace que el genoma funcione de manera distintiva en diferentes tipos de células.La definición abarca todas las modificaciones de cromatina y ADN, y otros reguladores de la transcripción que actúan en el contexto de la cromatina. Estos mecanismos epigenéticos, que incluyen la metilación del ADN, la modificación de histonas y los procesos mediados por ARNs no codificantes (ARNnc), establecen un balance que regula la expresión génica de modo de canalizar la identidad de los distintos tipos celulares. Su disrupción puede desencadenar varias patologías, como el cáncer o la diabetes.En esta charla haré una revisión de los conceptos básicos de la epigenética. Su historia, aspectos moleculares, metodologías de estudio y su rol en el desarrollo y la enfermedad, con especial énfasis en la obesidad y la diabetes tipo 2. Comenzaré con una definición de epigenética y su contexto histórico. Se describirán los estados de la cromatina que son representativos de la actividad génica, eucromatina y heterocromatina, como así también los mecanismos involucrados en la estabilidad de la cromatina, la regulación génica, el silenciamiento transcripcional y la reversibilidad de la metilación del ADN y las modificaciones de histonas. Se introducirán los conceptos de la regulación mediada por ARNnc. Mencionaré los avances en las tecnologías de estudio de la epigenética y su impacto sobre el conocimiento del epigenoma. Se discutirá el rol de la epigenética en el desarrollo de enfermedades, y cómo la predisposición genética, el envejecimiento y varios factores ambientales, entre ellos la dieta y la actividad física, interactúan con (e impactan en) el epigenoma humano.
Simposio: Estrategias para la preservación de célula β en diabetes autoinmune
Authors: Narendram Parth
Published: December 2021

En el caso de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1), las células beta que producen insulina en el páncreas están dañadas y dejan de producirla. A pesar que los pacientes deben comenzar a inyectarse insulina a partir del diagnóstico, no todas las células beta han sido destruidas en este punto. Las células restantes son gradualmente destruidas al pasar los años luego que el paciente es diagnosticado. Los estudios nos demuestran que, al proteger las células beta restantes, se ayuda a controlar los niveles de azúcar, se reduce el riesgo de niveles bajos de azúcar (hipoglucemia) y se previene el desarrollo de complicaciones características de la diabetes, tales como la ceguera y los ataques cardíacos. Hoy en día, hay evidencia que demuestra que la actividad física protege las células beta de las personas sanas y de pacientes con otros tipos de diabetes.Para comprobar si esto podía aplicarse también a pacientes adultos con DM1, llevamos a cabo un estudio piloto. El proyecto se dividió en dos etapas. En primer lugar, queríamos comprender los factores que impedían a los pacientes con aparición reciente de DM1 realizar actividad física. En segundo lugar, les pedimos a los pacientes con aparición reciente de DM1 que comenzaran a hacer ejercicio regularmente por un año; además queríamos determinar una serie de factores necesarios para crear un estudio apropiado que evaluara si la actividad física ayudaba a preservar el funcionamiento de la célula beta.Los descubrimientos en esta primera etapa del estudio remarcaron un número considerable de impedimentos respecto a la actividad física en los pacientes con DM1. En particular, los pacientes estaban preocupados acerca del riesgo de presentar hipoglucemia y los efectos de la actividad física en la estabilidad de la glucosa en las horas y días posteriores a la actividad física.En la segunda etapa del estudio, se descartaron quinientos pacientes en edad adulta con DM1 recientemente diagnosticada en Inglaterra y, eventualmente, 58 pacientes fueron reclutados. A partir de ello, podemos afirmar que, de entre aquellos invitados, solo participaron en el estudio 15 de cada 100 pacientes con DM1 recientemente diagnosticada. Observamos que los niveles de actividad física incrementaron en aquellos pacientes que ingresaron a la sección del estudio enfocada en la actividad física. Dicho incremento estuvo relacionado con la reducción de los requisitos de insulina y la mejora en la sensibilidad de insulina.En esta charla, explicaré cómo las intervenciones para promover la actividad física afectan la secreción de insulina en las células beta y de qué manera puede incorporarse en el tratamiento de adultos con DM1 recientemente diagnosticada.

THE CHANGING ROLE OF MANCHESTER FROM THE FIRST GLOBALISATION TO THE SECOND
Authors: SARİALİOGLU HAYALİ Ayca , SONMEZ Yontem
Published: December 2021

Although Manchester was a small and not very populous market town at the beginning of the 18th century, it experienced a large increase in population both in the 19th and 20th centuries thanks to the growth of the cotton industry attracting labour from the countryside. With the urbanisation brought about by the Industrial Revolution, Manchester achieved to become the centre and the first industrialised city of the world in the First Globalisation Era, which was the late 19th century. However, following the Great Depression of the 1930s and with an increase in foreign competition, textile industry was in decline and thus there was an outmigration of labour from Manchester causing a continuous decline in population as well. Therefore, it can be argued that Manchester lost its centred role in the 20th century. In order to improve the economic situation, Manchester’s economy started to diversify into some other industries such as engineering, chemicals and electronics as well as services. However, it could not catch the requirements of the new era shaped by the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Revolution. Meanwhile, the Silicon Valley of the United States emerged as an important centre in the Second Globalisation Era, which was the 1990s. Although having lost its centred role in the second globalisation era, with the 21st century, Manchester has been re-emerging as an important point in the “Northern Powerhouse” as it has both the necessary infrastructure for Research and Development (R&D) and the innovative potential. The aim of this paper is to study the changing role of the Manchester city as an economic centre in the last three centuries, with an emphasis on the major changes taking place in the First and the Second Globalisation Eras. Since it is underlined that “Manchester’s history is more than just the story of a town, it is a contribution to the history of the modern world” (Kidd, 2006), it should be well understood in order to comprehend the present stage that the humankind, industrialisation and the capitalism reached at.

Authors:   , Velisario Reyes Rubén Dario
Published: December 2021

Se analiza el papel que juegan las organizaciones religiosas de acción social y otras ONGs en Venezuela, afectada por una grave crisis, qué rol desempeña el factor religioso en su acción social, en la organización social misma y en sus miembros. Para realizar este estudio nos acercamos a Fe y Alegría de Venezuela, Caritas de Venezuela y el Proyecto Juvenil Misionero (PROJUMI), como tres organizaciones religiosas muy activas en la provisión de servicios para los venezolanos más vulnerables a la crisis. La elección de estas tres organizaciones nos permitirá revisar las similitudes y diferencias de estas. Las tres comparten la misma fe católica, pero la encarnan en la práctica de forma diversa. La tesis analizará dichas diferencias, especialmente en sus recursos organizativos (elementos internos y externos) de la organización
Temporal references in pain narratives: The cognitive perspective
Authors: Gyuró Monika
Published: December 2021

The present study investigates how pain experience affects the cognitive representation of time and viewpoint in a particular genre and narrative. In patients’ reports, temporality of pain experience does not follow the objectively measurable time. The ongoing character of pain contains not only the present issues but also retains the preceding aspects of the here-and-now moment and anticipates the future notes as time unfolds. To describe this particular experience, I employ the cognitive -linguistic model of mental spaces and blending (Fauconnier – Turner, 2002). I analyze blog posts of patients with chronic diseases on the use of temporal deixis and tense focusing on the shifts realized between the Narrative Space embedding the Event Space in which the past events occurred and the Here-and-Now Space which comprises the narrator’s viewpoint as an Origo. Moreover, I presuppose the Intermediate Space between the Event Space and the Reality Space, providing a transition between the aforementioned spaces and legitimization of the reconstruction of the events (Van Krieken et al., 2016). Temporal overlapping proves that subjective experience steers tenses and temporal deixis which govern the construal of viewpoint and time in the narratives; therefore, time and viewpoint are immediately connected in the cognitive representation of the narratives.
CIÊNCIA E EDUCAÇÃO EM PAULO FREIRE: PRESSUPOSTOS EPISTEMOLÓGICOS PARA O ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS
Authors: Peroza Juliano
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma discussão sobre o ensino de ciências em Paulo Freire. O objetivo é compreender os pressupostos epistêmicos a respeito da relação entre saber popular e conhecimento científico, bem como sua compreensão de ensino-aprendizagem, para elaborar algumas considerações sobre o Ensino de Ciências na ótica freiriana. Os pressupostos metodológicos têm como base a hermenêutica e a investigação bibliográfica freiriana. Conclui-se que o pensamento político-pedagógico freiriano não sugere, propriamente, métodos ou técnicas para o ensino de ciências. No entanto, contribui de maneira crítica para este campo ao apontar a proximidade da etnociência com suas concepções de educação e provocando os educadores para que aprofundem sempre mais a compreensão crítica da sua prática educativa em diálogo com o contexto sócio-histórico.
Evaluation of Physical and Chemical Properties of Poultry Sludge and its Suitability for Reuse in Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Applications
Authors: Irshaid Fawzi
Published: December 2021

Disposal of poultry sludge is one of the great challenges facing cities because of very strict requirements for landfilling and the scarcity of space for landfills. The present study was therefore aimed at evaluating the physical and chemical properties of poultry sludge and its suitability for reuse in agricultural and non-agricultural applications. Three samples were collected from sludge at the wastewater treatment plant of Al-Thuraya slaughterhouse in Al-Mafraq District, Jordan. The physical and biochemical properties of these samples were analyzed. Also, elemental composition and heat value were determined. The results indicated that poultry sludge had a slightly alkaline pH and a total moisture content of 20%, as well as an average total solid of 80%. The dry solid sludge had a volatile solid content of 94.9% and 5.1% of ash. Also, dry sludge had a high protein content (62 %) followed by carbohydrate (20%) and fiber (17%), with fat being around 1%. The major elements in the sludge were carbon (65.5%) followed by nitrogen (16%), phosphorous (5 %) and sulfur (2%). Heavy metal concentrations in dry sludge ranged from 0.01 to 2 mg/kg. These heavy metal concentrations were well below the safe limits recommended by legislators for sludge used as a fertilizer. The findings from this study revealed that dry poultry sludge offers a wide range of potential uses as fertilizer, animal feed and a source of energy, and it should be considered as a potentially valuable and sustainable resource rather than a waste product.

Los pactos de silencio sobre nuestra existencia colectiva. La experiencia del ecocidio y sus remezones en Bolivia
Authors: Cuellar Suárez Claudia
Published: December 2021

En este relato de experiencia intento nombrar el ecocidio vivido en Bolivia, en 2019 y su continuidad en 2020, como una experiencia política afectiva –desde la memoria feminista, en búsquedas y en cuestionamientos– de los horizontes que se están produciendo en los territorios donde habito, las tierras bajas de Bolivia. Refuto el silencio forzoso impuesto para que el extractivismo agroindustrial profundice su régimen de despojo, que impide poner en el centro de la discusión las afectaciones a las comunidades de vida y pensar la crisis ecosocial que atravesamos, politizando nuestra memoria, nuestros afectos y la posibilidad de ensanchar horizontes de deseo.
Lo visual se suma: una mirada sobre Instagram y su uso en la Campaña nacional por la legalización del aborto entre 2018-2019
Authors: Torres Verónica Haydeé
Published: December 2021

Las redes sociales permitieron que las luchas de los movimientos sociales fueran globales, accesibles e interconectadas. Instagram permite la circulación de las miradas sobre el mundo a través de imágenes, fotografías y videos y la participación de sus usuarios/as en la creación de un discurso visual. Este artículo pretende describir la incorporación del filtro como pañuelo verde y el uso del color emblemático de la Campaña Nacional por el aborto en Argentina en publicaciones a modo de ejemplo desde una mirada multimodal que realizaron en Instagram en sus cuentas colectivos feministas asociados como @abortolegalmza entre 2018 y 2019. El uso del pañuelo verde como filtro y el empleo de los colores emblemáticos posiblemente crearon una marca que permitió el compromiso de jóvenes y adolescentes con los ejes de la Campaña. Así, lo visual en las redes sociales fue el mensaje y el medio por el cual los colectivos feministas en Argentina (entre el 2018 y 2019 y hasta la actualidad) propusieron nuevas prácticas discursivas.
Derecho de acceso a la información en Brasil y México: entre cabestros, jefes y sociedad civil
Authors: Lemos da Costa Ana Beatriz , Poletti Dutra Luma , Oliveira Paulino Fernando
Published: December 2021

El artículo tiene como objetivo presentar las características del proceso de creación de Leyes de Acceso a la Información Pública en Brasil y México, cuyas culturas muestran rastros de opacidad debido a fenómenos como el caciquismo y el patrimonialismo. A través de investigaciones bibliográficas y entrevistas, se comparan las controversias que involucran a la sociedad civil en la inserción del tema en la agenda del gobierno. Primero, se muestra la experiencia del grupo Oaxaca en México, seguida de la movilización de organizaciones en el Foro sobre el Derecho de Acceso a la Información Pública en Brasil. Es posible percibir la multidimensionalidad de los desafíos que permean la cultura de ambas realidades latinoamericanas para la implementación de las medidas de transparencia del Estado.
elección institucional de estudios superiores en estudiantes de los Institutos de Educación Superior de la zona Este de Mendoza (2013-2014)
Authors: Guarise Silvia , Olalla Marcos
Published: December 2021

Abordamos la problemática de la elección institucional de estudios superiores en estudiantes de los Institutos de Educación Superior (IES) de la zona Este de la provincia de Mendoza a fin de conocer los aspectos que actúan en ella. Intentamos, además, identificar las representaciones sociales asociadas a dicha elección e indagar en sus causas. Procuramos dilucidar algunos interrogantes iniciales sobre los aspectos que explican la elección institucional, como los elementos del contexto, las representaciones de la formación en curso y los tópicos que predominan en el imaginario sobre la educación superior de los estudiantes de los IES. Realizamos un diseño metodológico en el que convergen los abordajes cuantitativo y cualitativo. Para la recolección de la información empleamos encuestas y producciones biográfico-narrativas. A partir del análisis del discurso, analizamos e interpretamos aquellas narraciones.
La Inteligencia Artificial y su contribución a la optimización de la atención y memoria de los estudiantes a través del diseño del aula
Authors: Llinares Millan Carmen , Colomer Granero Adrián , Higuera Trujillo Juan Luis , Naranjo Ornedo Valeriana
Published: December 2021

La aplicación de la Inteligencia Artificial en el sector de la educación ha sido objeto de estudio durante décadas. Sin embargo, y a pesar de sus numerosas contribuciones, apenas existen estudios centrados en mejorar el rendimiento de los estudiantes a través del diseño del aula. El objeto del presente trabajo es la aplicación de la Inteligencia Artificial para identificar el diseño óptimo del aula (atendiendo a su color, iluminación y forma), para potenciar el rendimiento en atención y memoria de los estudiantes universitarios. Para ello se llevó a cabo un estudio en laboratorio en el que 50 participantes realizaron pruebas cognitivas en entornos virtuales con diferentes configuraciones de diseño. Los resultados muestran que el mejor rendimiento en atención y memoria se consigue con un diseño similar: aulas de menores dimensiones (altura de techo de 2,6 m y 7,6 m de ancho), con colores fríos y de saturaciones bajas, y con temperaturas del color de la iluminación de 6500K. La única diferencia se detecta en la iluminancia: requiere niveles más bajos (100lx) para potenciar la memoria; y más altos (500lx) para la atención. Los resultados pueden ser de utilidad tanto para investigadores como profesionales relacionados con el diseño de centros docentes.
