Petrogenetic constraints of the La Quinta Formation igneous rocks, Serranía del Perijá, northern Colombian Andes
Authors: Cano Néstor Alfredo , Molano Juan Carlos , Sepúlveda Janeth
Published: December 2022

La Quinta Formation is a Triassic-Jurassic volcano-sedimentary unit that crops out along both flanks of the Serranía de Perijá, in Cesar and La Guajira departments of Colombia, and Zulia state in Venezuela. It is mainly composed of red clastic sedimentary rocks (siltstones, sandstones, and minor conglomerates), interbedded with volcanic rocks and cut by small stocks. The volcanic horizons are mainly formed by rhyolitic tuffs and lava flows (basalts and andesites).
 
Andesites and basalts are constituted by plagioclase, clinopyroxene, biotite, magnetite, apatite, and zircon, whereas rhyolites and tuffs are formed by plagioclase, ß quartz, biotite, and sanidine. EMPA analyses revealed that plagioclase display varying compositions from labradorite-andesine in intermediate and basic rocks to oligoclase in rhyolites. Besides, clinopyroxene from basalts was classified as augite, and several hydrothermal mineral phases were also recognized, such as epidote, Ca-zeolites, and andradite-grossular. Using ILMAT (ilmenite-magnetite) geothermometer, temperature and oxygen fugacity conditions of 700-730°C and +1.2 ∆NNO were determined for dolerite.
 
Whole-rock geochemistry results evidence that La Quinta Formation volcanic rocks belong to the sub-alkaline (calc-alkaline) series, displaying compositions from basaltic andesites to rhyolites. Chondrite normalized REE and incompatible elements spidergrams show typical features of subduction-related magmatism and depict three groups of rocks (basic, intermediate, and acid) with contrasting geochemical behaviors. Hence, each group could have formed during single magmatic events associated with different magmatic suites. Nevertheless, the three groups have features that suggest a genesis related to an Andean-type supra-subduction zone, which agrees with the regional tectonic assemblage during Triassic-Jurassic times.

Published: December 2022

Gastrointestinal parasites in production cattle are one of the most important health problems worldwide. These nematodes cause gastroenteric problems that are clinically characterized by diarrhoea, weakness, bleeding and dehydration. Within the gastrointestinal parasites caused by nematodes in cattle, the following families stand out: Trichuridae, Trichostrongylidae, Ancylostomidae, Ascaridae and Strongyloididae. The purpose of this research was to determine the efficacy of the different qualitative and quantitative coproparasitological techniques for the detection of gastrointestinal nematodes in cattle. For this study, 250 samples of beef breed cows were used, divided into different groups, for the application of qualitative and quantitative coproparasitological techniques, which were specifically chosen taking into account inclusion and exclusion criteria for each animal. The results delivered by this study indicated that the highest percentage in the identification of parasitic infective states was through qualitative coproparasitological techniques, focused mainly on zinc and magnesium sulfate flotation techniques with 50%.
Apropiación de los elementos de innovación social en organizaciones comunitarias agropecuarias del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia
Authors: VEGA PÉREZ CARLOS ANDRES , Camargo–Castillo L. S.
Published: December 2022

Con el objetivo de establecer criterios mínimos relativos a la innovación social en organizaciones comunitarias agropecuarias, se hizo uso de herramientas propias de la investigación cualitativa que incluyeron búsquedas especializadas y uso de programas para análisis de datos bibliográficos (por ejemplo VOSviewer™) para determinar los elementos relativos a la gestión, gobernanza, capacidades, modelo de negocio sostenibilidad para ocho (8) organizaciones comunitarias de productores agropecuarios de la provincia del Sugamuxi, en el departamento de Boyacá, Colombia.
Se pudo establecer que algunas organizaciones de productores agropecuarios que ejercen actividades en el departamento de Boyacá no están apropiando de forma integral los elementos de innovación social (en niveles operativos y gerenciales) y, consecuentemente, existe toda una ruta de mejoramiento por desarrollar con estas para optimizar los índices de eficiencia organizacional; además, se evidencia la complejidad de la temática, dado que la sostenibilidad de las innovaciones sociales dependerá en gran medida de la gestión de las organizaciones, donde se establezcan agendas institucionales compartidas contex­tualizadas y ajustadas a los territorios. Es necesario optimizar los canales de participación de manera mancomunada entre el Estado, las organizaciones y los mismos productores para poder dinamizar procesos, metas y alcances reales de la innovación social a la luz de los acelerados cambios a los que se enfrenta el productor agropecuario agremiado en Colombia, relativos estos a la dinámica del mercado, el acceso a recursos y otros.

Endodontic Sealer-Induced Maxillary Sinusitis: Intraoral Surgical Approach and Implant Placement at a Site of Failed Nasal Endoscopic Surgeries
Authors: Park Won-Bae , Yoon Heejun , Han Ji-Young , Kang Philip , Lim Hyun-Chang
Published: December 2022

A 28-year-old male patient was referred from an otorhinolaryngologist for managing unilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis (MS). The patient had undergone 2 functional endoscopic sinus surgeries, although the MS was not resolved. Based on his dental history, endodontic treatment had been done on the symptomatic area. A leak of endodontic sealer and peri-apical lesion on tooth #14 was found on cone-beam computed tomographic examination. Extraction of tooth #14 and the modified Caldwell-Luc operation were performed to remove the endodontic sealer material and relevant inflammatory tissue. The sinus membrane lining was maintained as much as possible during the surgery. Implant placement was performed on the tooth extraction site. All clinical symptoms disappeared after the surgery. Radiographic and endoscopic examination revealed successful osseointegration of the implant and complete resolution of the MS. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery alone may not be sufficient to treat MS derived from dental origin. For unilateral MS, dental history should be carefully checked.
The New “Other” the Endorsement of Islamophobia in American Political Discourse
Authors: ALTUNDAL ERKMEN Hatice
Published: December 2022

This paper analyses the complexity of problems American Muslims face with Islamophobia by examining (i) how Islamophobic discourse has become an integral part of the American politics; (ii) how the American political discourse on Islam and Muslims has affected the increase of Islamophobia, especially after the 9/11 terrorist attacks; and (iii) how Islamophobia is wielded as a political tool to garner the support of Americans and justify American imperial ambitions including the U.S. invasions and military occupations. Although the 9/11 gave a fresh impetus to Islamophobia, and since then, it has been on the rise, its history is as old as the history of Orientalism in America. Thus, the paper investigates the continuities between received Orientalism and American political rhetoric on Muslims and Islam. After the 9/11, not only did American political discourse manifest Islamophobia but also regulations and laws signed by the presidents targeted Muslims; both are indications of the continuity of accepted Orientalism. Remarkably, the major tenets of Edward Said’s theory of Orientalism parallel the Islamophobic political discourse that emerged after the 9/11. Thus, The paper, thereby draws on Said's discourse analysis of Orientalism to indicate how the rise of Islamophobia among Americans and American political discourse (power) about Muslims and Islam post 9/11 are interconnected and inextricably linked. More specifically, political discourse, while reframing the discourse as “us” versus “them,” hasmoreover, have been categorized on the one hand as “good” Muslims (the exceptions that prove the rule) who serve American interests and imperial policies and “bad” Muslims who are reluctant to serve imperial interests. As this study analytically explains the relationship between Orientalism, an essential tool of the Western colonial mentality, and the American political discourse, which became harsher with anti-Islamic expressions after the 9/11, it shows how American political discourse of Muslims promotes Islamophobia.
Ölüm Kaygısı ve Dindarlık Arasındaki İlişki Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: ALPARSLAN Kenan
Published: December 2022

Ölüm kaygısı, varoluşsal sorunların başında gelmektedir. Dindarlık ise ölüm kaygısıyla baş etmede önemli bir işlev görmektedir. Ancak ölüm kaygısı ve dindarlık arasındaki ilişki üzerinde yapılan çalışmalar çelişkili sonuçlar ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, dindarlık ve ölüm kaygısı arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek ve çelişkili sonuçların muhtemel nedenlerini tespit etmektir. Çalışmada hem ilişkisel hem de deneysel araştırmaları incelemek için sistematik derleme yöntemi benimsenmiştir. Bu konudaki araştırmalar incelendiğinde ortaya iki önemli sonuç çıkmaktadır. Birincisi, dindarlık ve ölüm kaygısı arasında genelde tutarsız ilişkiler olmasına rağmen özellikle içsel dini yönelimin ölüm kaygısı ile olumsuz yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. İkincisi, ölümlülük belirginliği dindarların dinî inançlarını daha da arttırırken, dindar olmayanlar üzerinde tutarsız sonuçlar üretmektedir. Öte yandan, incelenen araştırmaların önemli bazı sınırlılıkları bulunmaktadır. Birincisi, araştırmalarda kullanılan dindarlık ve ölüm kaygısı ölçümleri çok çeşitlilik göstermekte ve bunların güvenilirliği ve kültürler arası geçerliliği sorun olabilmektedir. Dindarlığı ve ölüm kaygısını örtük olarak ölçmek bu sorunu çözmeye yardımcı olabilir. İkinci sınırlılık, deneysel çalışmaların çok az sayıda olması ve olanların da çoğunlukla Yahudi-Hristiyan dinî gelenekten gelen katılımcılarla yapılmış olmalarıdır. Dolayısıyla farklı dinî ve kültürel geleneklerden çalışmaların (özellikle deneysel) yapılması bu kısıtlılığın giderilmesi adına bir ihtiyaç olarak durmaktadır. Mevcut çalışma, dindarlık ve ölüm korkusu arasındaki ilişkinin daha iyi anlaşılması ve ileride yapılacak çalışmalara yol göstermesi açısından önem taşımaktadır.
‘Manevi İyi Oluş’ Kavramının Ortaya Çıkışı ve Tanımlanması
Authors: TAN Hümeyra Nazlı , YILDIZ Mualla
Published: December 2022

İlk defa 1971 yılında kullanılmaya başlanan manevi iyi-oluş kavramı, günümüz din psikolojisi çalışmalarında sıklıkla kendisine atıfta bulunulan bir kavram haline gelmiştir. Bununla birlikte kavramın çerçevesini, kuramsal temellerini, etkileşim alanlarını ve gelişimini kapsayan çok yönlü çalışmalar oldukça sınırlıdır. Araştırma, bu sınırlılığı gidermek için manevi iyi-oluş kavramını tüm bu yönleriyle birlikte incelemeyi amaçlamakta ve manevi iyioluş kavramını açıklamaya yönelik yeni bir tanımlama denemesinde bulunmaktadır. Makalenin, manevi iyi-oluş literatürüne sunmak istediği önemli katkılardan biri de kavramın çerçevesini ve kuramsal temellerini ortaya koymaya çalışmasıdır. Bu çalışma temel olarak literatür araştırması yöntemiyle hazırlanmıştır. İlk önce manevi iyi-oluş kavramının semantik açıdan maneviyat ile ilişkisi ortaya konmuş ve maneviyatın “iyi-oluş”a katkıları neticesinde bu kavramın nasıl ortaya çıktığı incelenmiştir. Sonrasında kavramın içeriği, etkileşim alanları, yakından ilişkili olduğu yaklaşımları ve kuramsal temelleriyle ilgili görüşler değerlendirilmiştir. Konuyla ilgili literatürü oluşturan eserlerden bazıları da manevi iyi-oluşun etki alanlarını göstermesi ve kavramsallaşma sürecine sağladıkları katkılar açısından analitik olarak ele alınmış ve değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre manevi iyi-oluş, bireyin iletişimde bulunduğu maneviyat alanlarından özgün bir “iyi-oluş” duygusu üretmesidir. Maneviyatın “iyi-oluş”a katkıları, Din Psikolojisi çalışmalarında manevi iyi-oluş kavramına duyulan ihtiyacı pekiştirmektedir. Manevi iyi-oluş, bu katkıların kişiler üzerindeki özgün yansımalarını ve olumlu etkilerini tespit edebilmek ve bu “iyi-oluş” türlerini ölçebilmek amacıyla yapılan bilimsel araştırmaların kavramsal bir ifadesidir.

Published: December 2022

Dünyanın herhangi bir finansal piyasasında yaşanan kriz diğer finansal piyasaları da etkilemektedir. Uluslararası piyasalarda birincil olarak kabul edilen finansal endeksler, bireysel ve kurumsal yatırımcıların aldıkları kararları veya alacakları kararları doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu finansal endeksler arasında en önemlilerden birisi de VIX Korku Endeksi’dir. Literatür incelendiğinde VIX korku endeksi ile ilgili pek çok çalışma yapılmasına rağmen VIX endeksi ile vadeli işlemler piyasasını ele alan çalışmaya rastlanmamıştır. Bu nedenle çalışmanın temel amacı VIX endeksi ile vadeli işlemler piyasası arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini incelemektir. Bu bağlamda VIX korku endeksi, BIST 30 Vadeli işlemler piyasası ve Altın Vadeli işlemler piyasası değişkenlerinin kullanıldığı çalışmada 01.01.2012 – 21.11.2021 dönemine ait haftalık veriler kullanılmıştır.

Hatemi-J asimetrik nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre VIX endeksinden BIST 30 vadeliye doğru pozitif yönde nedensellik olduğu saptanmıştır. VIX endeksi BIST 30 vadeli işlemler piyasasına yatırım yapmak isteyen yatırımcılar açısından dikkate alınmalıdır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre VIX endeksindeki artışlar piyasalarda olası krizleri tahmin edilmesine olanak tanımaktadır.
VECTORS OF THE RUSSIAN REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY DESIGN: STATE PROGRAMS ANALYSIS
Authors:   Perm State University, Turtseva Ch. P.
Published: December 2022

Environmental policy is a complex system influenced by many factors. However, due to the continued centralization of Russia, it can be expected that such an exogenous factor as the commitment of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation to the strategy of the federal center will be of great importance in developing their own regional environmental policy. On the other hand, regional authorities independently determine the directions for the development of regional policy in this area. This raises the question - does the regions' orientation have an impact on the quality of regional environmental policy? The study of the vector of Russian regional environmental policy development was carried out on the basis of state programs in the field of environmental development of 85 Russian regions, implemented from 2012 to 2025. The paper showed that state goals in the field of solving environmental problems serves as a vector for most regions. An important highlight is the local nature of the programs' development in most regions; programs are based on regional problems identified in a particular area. Simultaneously, according to the official regional environmental ratings in Russia, the constituent entities of the Russian Federation that copy the policy of the federal center, show greater concern for the quality of the environment.
PRACTICES OF GRASSROOTS HISTORICAL POLITICS IN MODERN RUSSIA: CONSTRUCTION AND POLITICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE 1990S BY YOUTUBE-BLOGGERS
Authors:   Perm State University, Chemeriskaia L. D.
Published: December 2022

The opportunities for participation of the broader masses in the political process, have expanded, however, little attention is paid to the study of blogs in the research literature, while the blogosphere is a space for political communication that meets the signs of scale and openness. The article identifies the practices of constructing and representing the "nineties" in the narratives of YouTube bloggers who position themselves as "left" or "right" and how criticism of the current political regime of Russia is interwoven into these representations. The work is based on the concept of collective memory, and the studied practices are understood as a grassroots historical policy. As a result of a comparative analysis of narratives about the 1990s in the discourse of the authors of the YouTube channels “Maxim Katz” and “Vestnik Buri”, the author concludes that the "left" and the "right" interpret the role of the 1990s in Russian history differently, but in general, they agree that the modern Russian political regime, its constitutional base, were formed by the Yeltsin regime. Moreover, both bloggers agree that the current power elites propagate the myth of the "dashing nineties" to achieve their goals, while disagreeing on what the goals of using this myth are.
On the Issue of Economic Development: from Manual Work to Digitalization

Published: December 2022

Introduction: forecasting of economic processes, as well as planning of activities, is impossible without considering the specifics of the current stage of economic development and expected transformations. In the literature sources scientific and technical revolutions, technological orders and scientific and technological progress are not reviewed in a complex. Objectives: based on the imposition of stages of scientific and technological progress, scientific and technological revolutions, and technological orders to study the evolution of the economy, taking into account the cyclical nature of its development. Methods: retrospective analysis, systematization, forecasting. Results: the authors have systematized the existing approaches to the classification of economic cycles, the historical stages of scientific and technological progress, the features of scientific and technological revolutions and technological orders. It was revealed that the existing approaches to classification of economic cycles do not take into account such a criterion as the “level of economic interaction”, which served as the basis for distinguishing three levels of the emergence and development of economic cycles (microeconomics, macroeconomics and mega-economic). The authors have identified the stages of economic development in terms of changing the role of a person in the production process. The fifth stage of scientific and technological progress– “digital society” and the fifth industrial revolution – “green” in the middle of the XXI century were predicted. Conclusions: the results of the study can be used as the basis for further scientific research on the digital transformation of the economy and the identification of driving forces contributing to the formation and development of a digital model of the national economy.
Предпринимательское государство. Развеем мифы о государстве и частном секторе
Authors: Маццукато Мариана
Published: December 2022

В этом остром и небесспорном международном бестселлере отмеченная наградами экономист развенчивает широко распространенный миф о том, что государство неповоротливо, медлительно и не успевает за динамичным частным сектором. Автор подробно разбирает несколько кейсов, демонстрирующих обратное: и сегодня, и в прошлом государство остается самым отчаянным и важным инноватором. Отрицая эту часть нашей истории, мы рискуем пойти по ложному пути. Награда за безусловно коллективные усилия достается немногим избранным, и правительство США начало сокращать инвестиции в инновации. Это может привести к замедлению экономического роста и увеличить неравенство. Маццукато показывает, как исправить этот тренд, пока не стало слишком поздно.
A klímatudatosságot magyarázó elméletek átfogó elemzése: strukturális, intézményi és egyéni megközelítések
Authors: Muth Dániel
Published: December 2022

Tanulmányom célja, hogy szakirodalmi áttekintés segítségével feltérképezze, hogy milyen tényezők befolyásolják az egyéni és társadalmi attitűdöket a klímaváltozással kapcsolatban, és milyen mechanizmusok alakítják a cselekvési hajlandóságot és a klímapolitikák társadalmi elfogadottságát. A tanulmány három különböző szinten vizsgálja ezeket a mechanizmusokat. Az olyan mikroszintű faktor, mint az iskolázottság, az egyéni preferenciákat alakítja. Az egyéni preferenciákat azonban erősen befolyásolhatják intézményi (mezo-) és strukturális (makro-) tényezők. Egy ország gazdasági fejlettsége például meghatározhatja a társadalmi vélekedéseket a környezetvédelmi kihívások fontosságáról, de egy régió fokozott kitettsége a klímaváltozás negatív hatásainak (sérülékenység) is befolyásolhatja a társadalmi percepciókat a probléma súlyosságával és az elvárható klímavédelmi intézkedések mértékével kapcsolatban (makroszint). Hasonló közvetítő fontossággal bírnak az olyan intézményi faktorok (mezoszint), mint az intézményekbe vetett magas társadalmi bizalom, mivel az mélyebb elköteleződést von maga után a közös ügyek megoldása iránt. Az áttekintés ezért több intézményi és strukturális tényezőt is számba vesz a teljesebb kép elérése érdekében.
Tanulmányom nem csupán a különböző magyarázó elméleteket mutatja be, hanem számot ad a legfontosabb empirikus kutatások eredményeiről is. A klímatudatosságot több különböző tudományág vizsgálja, ezért különösen fontos, hogy eredményeiket oly módon szintetizáljuk, ami a különböző kapcsolódási pontokon keresztül lehetővé teszi a tudásfelhalmozást. Jelen munkámmal ehhez kívánok tudományos hozzájárulást nyújtani. A klímatudatosságot alakító tényezők ismeretének ugyanakkor kiemelt közpolitikai vonatkozásai is vannak, mivel az eredményes klímapolitikának hatékony választ kell adni az egyéni preferenciákra éppen úgy, mint a társadalomban húzódó különbözőségekre.
CHINA’S EXPANSIONISM BEYOND ASIA: THE QUEST FOR NATURAL RESOURCES AND MARKETS IN AFRICA. THE CASE OF CAMEROON
Authors:   Anadolu University, AÇMA Bülent , Kwachuh Tekang P. ,   Anadolu University
Published: December 2022

The end of the wars and the cold war signaled a new dimension and the birth of new and secondary actors in the international scene. China is one such newcomer in the lamp-light in 21st Century whose relations with the African Continent have grown by leaps and bounds. Chinese Foreign Policy blueprints are enforced by mutual cooperation among developing states beyond Asia, and its emerging superpower status is on the rise. The Beijing Declaration in the year 2000 was colossally accompanied by China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in the realm of economic and social development. The quest for raw materials, energy resources, and markets to feed the bourgeoning Chinese industries has pushed China into a mad rush in Africa and Cameroon in particular. This work investigates the reasons responsible for Chinese interest in Africa with special a focus on Cameroon. Also, it makes an appraisal of the socio-economic impact accruing from Sino-Cameroon ties, and lastly, the paper looks at the challenges China faces in Cameroon in keeping her economic interest buoyantly. The World System’s theory whose analysis centers on the relations between the core and periphery is utilized here. The deepening and asymmetric imbalances in this relation in favor of China have triggered debates within and without the continent in the academia and policymakers with some viewing China as a neocolonial state in disguise in line with other capitalist states since the “win-win” economic sermon preached by China is a farce with China gaining fatly.
INCLUSIVE APPROACH TO INCREASE THE HUMAN CAPITAL COMPETITIVENESS UNDER THE MACROECONOMIC INSTABILITY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko national University of Kyiv, Krasota O.V.
Published: December 2022

The article defines the growing role of human capital in the modern world, as well as its huge potential for the economic development of various national economies, including the economy of Ukraine. It is emphasized that in the modern post-industrial society, the importance of financial capital is increasingly replaced by the importance of human capital. The role of human capital is growing in conditions of disruption of macroeconomic stability. Different approaches to determining the essence of human capital are considered. The article offers a proper interpretation of human capital as a set of knowledge, abilities, skills and competencies that are inherent to individuals and that contribute to the increase of personal and social well-being. It is emphasized that a person is the basis of human capital. It is a person can accumulate knowledge, skills and experience, therefore all characteristics of human capital directly or indirectly determine the state of a person. The article proposes to consider human capital from the point of view of its quantitative and qualitative characteristics. Demographic trends and migration processes are defined as the main quantitative characteristics of human capital, and education and science, economic activity, health status are defined as qualitative characteristics. It was found that as a result of the full-scale war of the russian federation against Ukraine and the disruption of macroeconomic stability, the quantity and quality of human capital underwent certain changes. Negative demographic trends of human capital and negative dynamics of the main indicators of economic activity are determined. The dynamics and nature of migration processes have changed. It is noted that despite the high indicators of the cult of higher education, there are certain difficulties in this field, as well as in the field of health care. In order to increase the competitiveness of human capital, it is proposed to apply an inclusive approach to it, in particular in the field of education, in the field of labor and/or entrepreneurial activity, and in the field of health care.

Despite substantial breakthroughs in pharmacological therapies for multiple sclerosis (MS) over the past two decades, lifestyle modification remains an important strategy in managing symptoms and potentially preventing disability for people with MS. There is growing evidence that certain dietary factors may influence MS incidence, symptoms and disease course. Obesity, which is closely linked to diet, has been shown to be a risk factor for the development and increased severity of MS. Although the precise mechanisms by which the above factors exert their effects on MS are unknown, it is important for physicians to consider how these factors can influence the management of patients with MS. For example, sleep interventions and regular exercise may help with the common symptoms of MS, such as fatigue, cognitive dysfunction and mood disorders. Other important interventions include avoidance of tobacco smoke and adequate vitamin D intake. This review summarizes existing knowledge regarding the abovementioned factors with respect to MS incidence and severity.

Se evaluó la calidad del registro (CR) de las historias clínicas (HC) del servicio de hospitalización del Centro de Salud Materno Infantil El Bosque en Trujillo (Perú) en febrero del 2019 en un estudio retrospectivo, transversal en 20 HC de pacientes atendidas por parto vaginal y puerperio. Se excluyeron HC deterioradas, incompletas, extraviadas o inubicables, y aquellas de pacientes referidas a otros nosocomios para atención definitiva. Para evaluar la CR se utilizó la Norma Técnica de Salud de Auditoría de la Calidad de la Atención en Salud del Ministerio de Salud del Perú. Se obtuvo un 100 % de calidad satisfactoria (CS) en el registro de las HC en la evaluación global. La CR fue satisfactoria en un 100 % en las dimensiones enfermedad actual y antecedentes, plan de trabajo, tratamiento y formatos especiales. Las dimensiones filiación, examen clínico, notas de evolución, registros de enfermería / obstetricia y especificaciones de alta presentaron un 95 % de CS. La dimensión diagnósticos presentó un 65 % de CS y la dimensión atributos de la HC, obtuvo un 45 % de CS. Ninguna HC obtuvo una calidad deficiente. Se concluye que la CR de las HC fue satisfactoria, con algunas dimensiones por mejorar.
Religious Liberty, Racial Justice, and Discriminatory Impact: Why the Equal Protection Clause Should be Applied at Least as Strictly as the Free Exercise Clause
Authors: Reyes René
Published: December 2022

This Article offers a critical comparative analysis of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence under the Free Exercise Clause and the Equal Protection Clause. In a number of recent cases, the Court has shown increasing solicitude for the rights of religious objectors and has upheld claims for exemptions from various laws—even in the absence of an intent by the government to discriminate against religion. This stands in stark contrast to the Court’s approach in cases involving claims of racial discrimination. Despite the harsh light that the COVID-19 pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and other events have cast on the systemic inequalities that persist throughout American society, the Court has remained staunchly unmoved by the law’s disparate impacts on BIPOC communities and has insisted that claimants prove a discriminatory purpose in order to prevail. As a result, religious groups have greater rights to engage in some forms of discrimination than racialized minorities do to combat the effects of discrimination. This doctrinal dichotomy is untenable. As a matter of constitutional history, text, and structure, racial equality is an equal if not dominant value relative to religious liberty. Any move to strengthen the Free Exercise Clause by recognizing disparate impact liability for religious objectors must therefore be accompanied by a corresponding move to recognize such liability for BIPOC individuals under the Equal Protection Clause.
Fundamental Law, Fundamental Rights, and Constitutional Time
Authors: McNamee David
Published: December 2022

This Article lays the groundwork for a novel theory giving citizens pride of place in constitutional interpretation—as voters and jurors, deliberators and disobedients, and more. My account adopts different answers to two basic questions that divide it from other prevailing theories: first, that citizens, rather than judges, shoulder primary responsibility for interpreting principles of fundamental law; and second, that fidelity to their Constitution requires, above all, keeping faith with their fellow citizens across constitutional time. This approach conceives of the Citizens’ Constitution as an enduring social contract. In setting the stage for this account, I advance several related claims that carry independent weight as theoretical contributions. First, the Citizens’ Constitution as Fundamental Law is a distinct and vitally important domain of constitutional principles, which are accessible and justifiable to citizens’ common reason, and which ground their pervasive disagreements. Second, propositions of fundamental law can be understood in another register—as propositions about constitutional time, relating the constitutional present to its past and future. Third, these propositions about constitutional time are moral arguments of a certain kind: arguments about constitutional justice, about what we share as citizens andparticipants in an enduring enterprise and what makes the Constitution worthy of our allegiance. Finally, together these claims point the way to a recognitional account of fundamental rights that deepens their connection to constitutional justice, even as it generates a measure of commonality across pitched value disagreements.
Bayesian Inference of Triple Seasonal Autoregressive Models
Authors: Amin Ayman
Published: December 2022

In this paper we extend autoregressive models to fit time series that have three layers of seasonality, i.e. triple seasonal autoregressive (TSAR) models, and we introduce the Bayesian inference for these TSAR models. Assuming the TSAR model errors are normally distributed and employing three priors, i.e. Jeffreys', g, and normal-gamma priors, on the model parameters, we derive the marginal posterior distributions of the TSAR model parameters. In particular, we show that the marginal posterior distributions to be multivariate t and gamma distributions for the model coefficients and precision, respectively. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed Bayesian inference using simulation study, and we then apply it to real-world hourly electricity load time series datasets in six European countries.

Published: December 2022

When a life test is terminated at a predetermined time to decide whether to accept or refuse the submitted batches, the types of group sampling inspection plans (single, two, and multiple-stages) are introduced. The tables in this study give the optimal number of groups for various confidence levels, examination limits, and values of the ratio of the determined experiment time to the fixed percentile life. At various quality levels, the operating characteristic functions and accompanying producer's risk are derived for various types of group sampling inspection plans. At the determined producer's risk, the optimal ratios of real percentile life to a fixed percentile life are obtained. Three case studies are provided to illustrate the processes described here. Comparisons of single-stage and iterative group sampling plans are introduced. The first, second, and third sample minimums must be used to guarantee that the product's stipulated mean and median lifetimes are reached at a certain degree of customer trust. The suggested sample plans' operational characteristic values and the producer's risk are given. In order to show how the suggested approaches based on the mean life span and median life span of the product may function in reality, certain real-world examples are examined.

Background: Approximately 15% of adults in the United Kingdom (UK) are predicted to have gallstone disease, with about 80% of these having asymptomatic gallstones. Patients with symptomatic gallstone disease are recommended to undergo cholecystectomy. Currently, in the UK approximately 60,000 cholecystectomies are performed. During complex laparoscopic cholecystectomies, surgeons may still need to resort to historic procedures such as an open cholecystectomy (5-10%) or even a cholecystostomy. Alternatively considering a subtotal cholecystectomy has been shown to reduce the need for conversion to an open procedure. The aim of our study is to identify pre-operative factors that would predict the need for a subtotal cholecystectomy.Methods: A retrospective study, over a period of 01 March 2019 to 29 February 2020 was undertaken at one of London’s major tertiary centres. We reviewed all adult patients that had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomies and subtotal cholecystectomies.Results: 243 patients were included in the study after being vetted through the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 95 males and 148 females. 243 patients were identified initially for elective cholecystectomy. 230 were managed surgically, 208 with a total laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 22 with subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 243 patients were identified initially for elective cholecystectomy. 230 were managed surgically, 208 with a total laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 22 with subtotal laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Conclusions: Age, male sex, body mass index (BMI) greater than 30 kg/m2 patients, previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), thickened gallbladder walls, and raised preoperative leucocytosis were associated with a greater risk of patients consented for laparoscopic cholecystectomies to undergo a conversion to a subtotal cholecystectomy.

Background: Different types of vascular access devices are commonly used for delivery of intravenous fluids, most common is peripheral intravenous catheter. It is inserted into peripheral vein of extremity and used for short-term delivery of intravenous fluids, medications, blood products. It is prone to complications and failure prior to completion of treatment. Aim was to study peripheral inserted venous catheter related local complications.Methods: The observational study was conducted among 900 indoor patients admitted between April 2020 to September 2021 of surgery department who requires IV therapy and willing to give consent for study.Results: Local complications significantly increased as the gauze of the vein flow increases in compare to caliber of veins Complications like thrombophlebitis, redness and pain are 0.8 times less in peripheral cather places over forearm than compared to places at hand. Peripheral cather have 0.8 times less risk of swelling and infiltration when served on forearm than hand. 40.92% of cases develop thrombophlebitis or redness or pain after 72 hours of peripheral catheter in situ. Swelling or infiltration observed in 27.02% cases after 72 hours of peripheral catheter in situ. 3 times cannulation on same vein has higher risk of developing complications.Conclusions: Study supports choosing insertion site as forearm than hand, using chlorhexidine 2.5% as antiseptic solutions and Gauze of peripheral vein flow catheter as adequately enters the vein with a single prick on the same vein and changing of cannula within 72 hours of insertion.

Background: The outbreak of COVID-19 appeared first in China and then, rapidly, spread to the rest of the world, and WHO declared it as a pandemic.A nation-wide closure of educational institutions was implemented as an emergency measure in India in March 2020. Meanwhile the traditional classroom instructions were replaced by online classes and home-based learning. Pandemic stressors such as boredom, being in isolation, one of the family members hospitalized/ succumbed to covid, etc, may have even more negative impact on children’s behaviour and emotions. Objectives were to study the impact of covid 19 pandemic on psychosocial, educational and behavioral aspects of children.Methods: The current study was a questionnaire based cross-sectional survey conducted among the parents attending paediatric OPD in NRI general and superspeciality hospital, Mangalagiri, between September 2021 to December 2021 over a period of 70 day along with their children of age group between 3 years to 18 years with an aim to explore various psychosocial, educational and behavioral aspects of children and their correlation.Results: The results showed that, during the COVID-19 outbreak, the children tended to increase their use of screens, and were less active physically. Majority of children who had physical activity <2 hours and increase in sleeping hours during the pandemic, reported weight gain. In the present study screen time usage is more in adolescents (55%). Behavioural problems associated with screen time is 61% in the present study. The results suggest that children are vulnerable to the COVID-19 outbreak psychological effects and highlight the need to reduce the psychological burden of this pandemic and the necessity of immediate intervention.Conclusions: Children are vulnerable to psychological stressors like social isolation, home confinement, closure of schools and activity centers for longer periods, which has debilitating effects on educational, psychological and developmental attainment.
