Um Conto de Amor e Trevas
Authors: LIEBEL Vinícius , ROCHA Rotta Helen
Published: June 2022

Esse artigo é centrado na análise e interpretação do filme “Um Conto de Amor e Trevas” (2015), dirigido por Natalie Portman e baseado na obra homônima de Amós Oz. A narrative conta a história da infância de Amos, um garoto que vê a fundação do Estado de Israel pela lente da memória de sua mãe e de seu pai. Ainda que o conto em questão tenha traços da biografia de Amós Oz, é o olhar de Portman que nos guia na narrative fílmica, e a partir de sua construção cênica, constrói a imagem de dois Israels, aquele que a mãe de Amós romantiza e aquele que o pai de Amós idealiza. Na análise dessa construção visual, o método documentário de análise de imagens (Ralf Bohnsack) é utilizado, oferecendo um acesso privilegiado às estratégias discursivas visuais e aos diferentes planos de interpretação da imagem. A partir da análise de cenas selecionadas do filme de Natalie Portman, percebe-se a construção de uma Israel romântica, voltada à união dos judeus do mundo e à construção de uma comunidade quase utópica, e outra Israel realista, voltada à sobrevivência dos judeus em um ambiente cada vez mais violento, defensora de uma tradição cultural, mas também alinhada a uma lógica agressiva, especialmente em sua relação com os vizinhos árabes. O objetivo do artigo, dessa forma, é apontar como essas construções se dão na direção de Natalie Portman, em uma observação da narrative visual por ela moldada.
SIRGAS-WGIII activities for unifying height systems in Latin America
Authors: Freitas Silvio R.C. de
Published: June 2022

Since 1997 SIRGAS (Geocentric Reference System for the Americas) is acting for establishing a unified SIRGAS Vertical Reference System (SVRS) in Latin Ameri- ca and the Caribbean. The standards, procedures and activities aiming the definition and realization of the SVRS are now directed to meet the modern international requirements of integration into a Global Vertical Reference System (GVRS) to support the needs for Earth Observation Systems. These statements imply in a uni- fication of the existing National Vertical Reference Systems (NVRS), each one with its respective Frame (NVRF) and Vertical Datum (NVD) realized in the geopoten- tial space. The study of new possibilities for connecting NVRS in a global basis is in the context of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) main activities. However, most of modern requirements are not immediately applicable for building the SVRS because the differences in the conception and realization of each NVRS in the SIRGAS region. In this work an overview about the status of NVRS, NVR Fand NVD in South America is presented. The most important characteristics for unifying NVRS in a global context as well as the main related problems are pre- sented. Some emphasis is given on the activities of SIRGAS-Working Group III directed for facing the integration problems in South America. The poor data availability, unknown discrepancies among NVRS, different data collecting and processing strategies for establishing the networks, and other error sources are discussed. The possibilities coming from new strategies and modern tools are dis- cussed mainly by considering new missions and global data basis of Geodesy.
Atlas geográfico escolar comentado: Cantuquiriguaçu e município de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu: Paraná
Authors: Kominecki Alessandro
Published: June 2022

O Atlas Geográfico Escolar Comentado de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu foi produzido no Colégio Estadual do Campo Iraci Salete Strozak, localizado geograficamente no município de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, Estado do Paraná, Brasil. Às práticas de interpretação, caracterização qualitativa e síntese dos mapas temáticos do território da Cantuquiriguaçu e do município de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu ocorreram nas aulas de Geografia da classe intermediária de ciências humanas. A ideia de produzir um atlas geográfico escolar surgiu pela constatação da indisponibilidade de mapas temáticos do município de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu para uso didático-metodológico nas aulas de geografia. Constada a lacuna cartográfica, elaborou-se este material de metodologia participativa com estudantes do 7º e 8º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A partir do envolvimento dos/as estudantes e dos resultados alcançados, optou-se em fazer esta publicação, a qual é uma contribuição de professor de geografia e estudantes para sociedade cantuquiriguaçuense. O atlas surge e se efetiva mediante a organização do trabalho pedagógico por meio dos complexos de estudos no Colégio Estadual do Campo Iraci Salete Strozak, e tendo como fonte educativa o inventário da realidade escolar. Portanto, vincula-se aos princípios pedagógicos desta instituição de ensino. O primeiro Atlas Geográfico Escolar Comentado de Rio Bonito do Iguaçu objetiva ofertar aos estudantes das instituições de ensino locais um material cartográfico com informações dos aspectos físicos e socioambientais que possam embasar práticas de cunho didático pedagógico. Os mapas cartográficos foram produzidos pelo professor de geografia e comentados pelos/as estudantes, e abordam a localização geográfica, regionalização, divisão política-admistrativa, hipsometria, 3D, hidrografia, declividade topográfica, tipos de solos, aptidão dos solos e uso/cobertura do solo. A elaboração dos mapas deu-se no software QGIS 3.16 ‘Hannover’ com dados geoespaciais de referência, que são bases de georreferenciamento e contextualização geográfica das diferentes temáticas da superfície terrestre. Com os mapas, foi possível promover interpretações e discussões contextualizadas aos conteúdos de geografia, atreladas à realidade local. De posse dos mapas temáticos e de uma rosa dos ventos impressa, os/as estudantes ao “deslizar” a rosa dos ventos sobre a superfície do mapa, identificaram os elementos físicos e consecutivamente sua orientação no espaço geográfico. Portanto, essa produção cartográfica resulta do anseio em contribuir com conhecimentos geográficos locais para a população Riobonitense e cantuquiriguaçuense, à vista do entendimento do espaço geográfico, e afim de que este material também possa ser utilizado por outros sujeitos em outras escolas. Assim, o Atlas Geográfico Escolar Comentado é uma contribuição dos/as autores/as, professor e estudantes do Colégio Estadual do Campo Iraci Salete Strozak, no intuito de ampliar o entendimento do espaço geográfico local.

Published: June 2022

In this work, a Cu/ZnO/ITO resistive random access memory (RRAM) structure in which ZnO films are irradiated with neutral oxygen beams was employed to investigate the effect of neutral oxygen beams as a surface treatment. It was confirmed that the treatment reduced the defect concentration in the sputtered-ZnO film and improved the resistance change characteristics of the device. These results indicate the great potential of neutral oxygen beams in the development of RRAM devices using ZnO films.
The effect of chloride atoms to induce organohalide perovskite intermediate crystal phase: a simulation rationale
Authors: Takahashi Saemi , Uchida Satoshi , Chatterjee Abhijit , Segawa Hiroshi
Published: June 2022

Incorporation of chloride species in the perovskite precursor solution is one of the effective strategies to obtain highly crystalline perovskite films toward efficient solar cell performance. Although chloride atoms are considered to play an important role in crystallization their effect has not been fully investigated yet. In this study, the effect of chloride atoms in the perovskite intermediate phase is studied using molecular modeling and simulations. The calculation validated the fact that the specific lattice plane with chloride atoms in the structure resulted in a lower growth rate compared to that of the conventional perovskite intermediate phase.
FOCUS OF THE MASS ACCUMULATION OF THE INVASIVE OAK LACE BUG, CORYTHUCHA ARCUATA (SAY, 1832) (HEMIPTERA: HETEROPTERA: TINGIDAE), ON THE AI-PETRI PLATEAU (CRIMEA)
Authors: Shorenko K. I. , Golub V. B. , Nikolaeva A. M.
Published: June 2022

The results of observations of the mass accumulation of adults of the harmful invasive oak lace bug, Corythucha arcuata (Say, 1832) in 2018 and 2021 at the highest point of the Ai-Petri plateau (Crimea; 1234 m a.s.l.) are presented. The approximate number of aggregations of this species reached several thousand specimens, the density of groups reached 50 specimens/dm of ropeway structures. There are no food plants of this invader on the plateau. It is most likely that adults of C. arcuata are brought to the plateau by vertical air currents from the areas located below, where the pest successfully reproduces and develops. The Ai-Petri Plateau is a reserve of the adult pest, which provides its expansion to other territories of the southern Crimea by air currents. Chemical control of the C. arcuata population at the apex of Mount Ai-Petri is recommended.

Published: June 2022

Data on new findings of the Nikolsky loach Misgurnus nikolskyi in the south of Western Siberia are presented. The maximum distance from the place of the first detection is about 200 km downstream of the Ob River. It has been suggested that the main method of dispersal of the Misgurnus nikolskyi in this region is deliberate introduction. It has been shown that the mtDNA haplotypes of the cyt b locus of the Misgurnus nikolskyi from the Ob River basin are identical to those described from the Lower Amur River basin.

The phytoplankton structure in ecologically diverse areas of the sea and the role of marine invasive species in the formation of the community were studied on the meridional and latitudinal trans-Caspian sections in the autumn period of 2008, 2009, and 2012. It was established that the transformation of the phytoplankton community continues in the Caspian Sea, associated with the entry of the Black Sea diatoms Chaetoceros peruvianus, Cerataulina pelagica, and Pseudo-nitzschia seriata into their composition. During the autumn bloom of phytoplankton in November 2008, the number of invasive species reached 1.3-2.3 × 10 cells/L, C. peruvianus and P. seriata to the total weight biomass of the community reached 49-50%. The highest abundance of invasive species was recorded in the shelf areas of the Middle Caspian Sea in its eastern ( C. peruvianus , 2.3 × 10 cells/L), western ( P. seriata , 1.4 × 10 cells/L), and northern ( C. pelagica , 1.3 × 10 cells/L) parts. The north boundary of the distribution of these species in the Caspian Sea was the 5.0 isohaline, which coincided with the highly productive frontal zone (4.0-6.0) of the marginal filter of the Volga River. For the first time, it was shown that the C. peruvianus diatom was a part of the phytoplankton of the upper productive 25-30-meter water layer both in the Middle and in the Southern Caspian during the periods preceding the autumn bloom of phytoplankton (September-October). During that time the most considerable abundance of this species (1.6 × 10cells/L) was recorded in the shallow areas on the Apsheron Sill and the eastern part of the Middle Caspian in the zone of coastal wind upwelling.

On the Determination of Reaction Spectrum for Simple Span Composite Steel and Concrete Beam Superstructure with a Length L = 42.6 m.
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Utmelidze Ioseb
Published: June 2022

Modern seismic resistance theory is based on a highly simplified linear oscillator calculation model based on spectral curves, which is a simplified model. Using modern calculation complexes, it is possible to calculate buildings with an accurate calculation model (using real accelerograms), which gives more realistic results than the established seismic reliability theory. The methodology for determination of reaction spectrum for simple span composite steel and concrete beam superstructure with a length L = 42.6 m on real earthquake records (accelerograms) is discussed. The methodology for selecting accelerometers is based on the criterion of selecting an accelerogram (or group of them) that determines the development of maximum forces in superstructure. The periods and frequencies of the own oscillation of the simple span composite steel and concrete beam superstructure were determined, on the basis of which the vertical compiler of the relevant earthquake accelerometers was calculated and selected. For the construction of steel-reinforced concrete slabs with different spectra obtained for different categories of soil and also according to various normative documents (GEO, SNiP, EN and AASHTO) we calculated the slab construction, compared the results and analyzed them. Based on them, the recommendations for the national annex to the Eurocode normative document were defined.
Profit Tax Reform Results in Georgia

Published: June 2022

The main purpose of the tax system is to provide the state with financial resources. Both in previous years and in 2021, most of Georgia's planned budget revenues (approximately 62%) came from tax revenues. Therefore, proper determining tax policy and good tax administration is important for the budgetary process and the development of the country. In general, the most reliable and popular indicator of the economic progress in the country is the Gross Domestic Product growth rate. In recent years, a number of tax reforms have been implemented in Georgia to accelerate it. Such changes are always accompanied by several important issues, including whether they have an adequate impact on the growth of the country's macroeconomic performance and what challenges the country may face as a result of these reforms.
Replacement of Absorbents Used in Ammonia and Cyanic Industries with High-tech Activated Absorbents
Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Merebashvili Nino
Published: June 2022

Piperazine-activated methyldiethanolamine was selected from various absorbers to purify the converted gas CO2 in the production of ammonia in Rustavi Azot. Purification of converted gas from carbon dioxide is intended to protect the ammonia synthesis catalyst from poisoning and deactivation. The absorbent was selected due to its high capacity with respect to carbon dioxide as well as its lower steam consumption compared to other absorbents during the circulation and regeneration stages. At the expense of the released steam, a condensing power plant was introduced, through which the plant will generate electricity. In the production of cyanic acid, orthophosphoric acid was used for years to bind the residual ammonia from the contact gases to prevent the polymerization process. Due to the technological modes of production, only one third of the total amount of orthophosphoric acid has the ability to form a stable substituent phosphate with ammonia, hence it worked as a monounsaturated acid on the system. Later orthophosphoric acid was replaced by a more hightech absorbent — acetic acid. Acetic acid is a single-base volatile acid which, unlike orthophosphoric acid, has the ability to stabilize cyanic acid in both the liquid and gaseous phases and to form a stable compound, ammonium acetate, with ammonia. The introduction of a new inhibitor has made production more stable and safer.

Published: June 2022

Global climate change on our planet has significantly intensified natural disasters, such as floods, flash floods, erosions, glaciers, landslides, and more. The situation is similar in Georgia, particularly in its mountainous and foothill regions, where floods, mudflows and downpours are intensifying. Therefore, special attention should be paid to populated areas where the population and infrastructure facilities are at risk. The ecological state of the Lochini riverbeds within the city of Tbilisi is discussed and ways to improve it are suggested. An analysis of the advanced experience of foreign countries is presented, including the restoration of environmental sustainability in their valleys with the help of fragmentary revitalization in riverbeds. To achieve this goal, those field studies that were carried out in the gorge of the Aliskhevi River, in turn, the having mudflow character and representing the tributary of the Lochini River, are analyzed. The results of a study that determine the current state of the Aliskhevi riverbed are presented. The results of the study showed that this is an active mudflow, which poses a threat both to the population of the village of Martkophi and its infrastructure, as well as to the channel of the Lochini River, in particular, its environmental safety due to the transport of debris flow. The article proposes an anti-mudflow structure, the geometric dimensions of the elements of which are calculated specifically for the channel of the Aliskhevi River and according to the parameters of the expected mudflow. The effectiveness of this structure is calculated by further mathematical calculations. The corresponding scientific conclusions are given on the basis of field reconnaissance studies and office processing of aerial photographs.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Ghudumidze Giorgi , Japaridze David ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: June 2022

Based on the study of the world practice on methods for determining the efficiency of the introduction of electricity storage systems in electricity and a scientific approach to the problem, a complex econometric model for evaluating the efficiency of the use of electricity accumulators in wind energy has been developed. The possibility of generating electricity using the wind energy in Georgia has been assessed, the prospects for its introduction have been defined. The optimal econometric model for assessing the efficiency of the introduction of electricity collectors in wind farms is tested on the example of the wind power plant in Gori. Studies conducted at this power plant have established the high efficiency of the introduction of energy storage devices.

Authors:   Georgian Technical University, Mikiashvili Temur , Kighuradze Omar ,   Georgian Technical University, Chkhaidze Baadur ,   Georgian Technical University
Published: June 2022

In the electricity systems, which have a large share of seasonal hydropower plants in the total production of electricity and do not have a developed structure of maneuvering power units running on organic fuels, it is necessary to use basic power plants to regulate the system capacity (load) on a daily basis. For the optimal solution of this task, the authors of the article have proposed a formula by which it is possible to estimate the monetary costs in different scenarios of power system management. It takes into account the pricing of electricity generated by imported and locally generated thermal power plants and sets out the main requirements for the efficiency and regulation range of thermal power plants, the satisfaction of which saves funds at the expense of reducing electricity imports.
"The White Hair with the Black Thought". A Study on Baratynskij’s Poem "There Were Storms, Bad Weather…..."
Authors: Uspenskij Pavel Fedorovich , Senderovich Savely Yakovlevich
Published: June 2022

This study is dedicated to the poem There Were Storms, Bad Weather… (Byli buri, nepogody…) (1839) by Еvgenij Baratynskij. The study analyzes in detail the semantic development of the text, leading to a strong and somewhat paradoxical ending that causes a particular emotional experience for the reader. To understand how the meanings of the poem are shaped in its semantic development is one of the aims of our study. Additionally, we analyze the folkloric features of the poem: repetitions, a parallelism, and the use of paremia. A deep analysis of the text, considering both its semantic movement and lexical nuances, allows us to discuss the semantic paradox of Baratynskij’s poem and affirm that There were storms, bad weather… is part of a group of texts that by the very use of poetic speech overcomes the impossibility of the utterance.
The Linguistic-Textual Markers in the Late Medieval Slavonic Biblical Translations from Jewish Originals
Authors: Grishchenko Alexander Igorevich
Published: June 2022

The article raises the question of language items (words or phrases) which could be the markers of a textual relationship between Biblical translations and their originals, on the examples of two East Slavonic texts created presumably in the 15th century in the Ruthenian lands of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The article is based on the data of the edited Slavonic-Russian Pentateuch and two versions of the East Slavonic translation of the Song of Song, from the museum (Russian State Library, Moscow, mid-16th century) and Vilna copies (Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, Vilnius, first quarter of the 16th century), including the glossary for both versions from the so-called Zabelin Set, a cluster of Biblical texts translated from Jewish sources into Old Ruthenian from the 17th-century manuscript (State Historical Museum, Moscow). These examples demonstrate the importance of the search for possible intermediary languages for texts, which, by all formal indicators, are the fruit of direct language and literary contacts between Slavs and Jews. There are proposed methods of ascertaining an original language and the language of a possible intermediary through a system of linguistic-textual markers. The weakest linguistic-textual markers are Hebrew loanwords written with Cyrillic script, especially when these are proper names only. Such forms do not exclude the possibility that their source was not the Masoretic Text itself, but translations of the latter made within the framework of the same Jewish tradition, i.e., the Targums (cfr. in particular the ‘Old Yiddish Targum’ and the ‘Judeo-Turkic Targum’). The most reliable linguistic-textual marker turns out to be the presence of words that are not just foreign-language borrowings and not from the Hebrew language, but that also qualify as hapaxes that were not adopted by the language of the book tradition into which the corresponding translation was made. Between these two extreme types of markers there are intermediate steps, which in different ways reveal the presence of an intermediary language and an intermediary text, but as a whole, all the markers speak in favor of the existence of these intermediaries.

Authors: Jean SOSSA , Georges AVAKOUDJO Dedjinnin Josue
Published: June 2022

Objective: To determine the prevalence and pathological characteristics of the prostate cancer in our institution’s TRUS-guided prostate biopsied patients. Patients and method: The age, the PSA level and the pathological data were collected and analyzed by means of Excel 2010®. Concerned patients were those who had consecutively undergone a TRUS-guided prostate biopsy between October 17, 2013 and July 31, 2021. Results: Among 138 patients whose age ranged from 42 to 96 years (mean=65.7years), 81 or 58.7% had a PCa. 97,5% of those PCa were in patients with PSA>30ng/mL whereas 40.2% of them were in patients with PSA<30ng/mL (p=0.000). The age discrepancy between the PCa patients and the non PCa patients was not significant (p = 0.291). The percentage of positive cores was significantly higher in the PCa patients with PSA>30ng/mL than in the PCa patients with PSA<20ng/mL (p=0.000 for PSA<10ng/mL and p=0.001 for PSA<20ng/mL). 74,2% of the PCa with a GS>7 had a PSA>30ng/mL whereas 50% of the PCa with a GS 6 had a PSA<10ng/mL (p=0.004). 76, 2% of the PCa with PSA>30ng/mL belonged to the ISUP grade group 5 whereas 50% of the PCa with PSA<10ng/mL belonged to the ISUP grade group 1 (p=0.003). The GS and the percentage of positive cores increased together and that interdependent increment was significant between GS 6 and 7 (p=0.005), 6 and >7 (p=0.000), 7 and >7 (p=0.013). The percentage of positive cores also increased as the ISUP grade group was rising and again the interdependent increment was significant between the ISUP grade group 1 and 3 (p=0.001), 1 and 4 (p=0.000), 1 and 5 (p=0.000), 2 and 5 (p=0.006). Conclusion: The prevalence of the PCa was 58.7% among the 138 biopsied patients. It was 2.4 times higher in the patients with PSA>30ng/mL (95.7%) than in the patients with PSA<30ng/mL (40.2%). The majority of the PCa patients (54.3%) had a PSA>30ng/mL and presented a more elevated Gleason score, a more elevated ISUP grade group and a more elevated percentage of .......

Published: June 2022

Pheochromocytoma is a rare endocrine tumor (incidence 0.1–2%), developed at the expense of chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla (localization in 85%), secreting catecholamines responsible for paroxysmal or more often permanent arterial hypertension, tachycardia, headache, anxiety. It is a rare cause of high blood pressure (hypertension) in children, which has some peculiarities compared to adults. We report in our work an observation of pheochromocytoma operated in the department of digestive and endocrine surgery at the University Hospital of Fez.
Acute Intestinal Occlusion Revealing a Post-Traumatic Diaphragmatic Strangulated Hernia: A Case Report
Authors: Guezri Hamza , Beddi Amina , Tabakh Houria , Siwane Abdellatif , Touil Najwa , Kacimi Omar , Chikhaoui Nabil
Published: June 2022

Introduction: The post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a particular lesion in traumatology, which may go undetected in the acute phase of the trauma. Its detection is then often made following a digestive or respiratory complication. Acute intestinal occlusion is one of the complications revealing a strangulated diaphragmatic hernia. Case Presentation: 37-years-old patient with acute intestinal occlusion syndrome. His history included a closed thoracoabdominal trauma following a vehicular accident three years ago. The thoracoabdominal CT scan showed a distension of the haemic coves, transverse and ascending colon above a strangulation of the left colonic angle through a left diaphragmatic defect, with left pleural effusion of high abundance, responsible for a pulmonary collapse. The diagnosis retained is an intestinal occlusion on a strangulated post-traumatic left diaphragmatic hernia. Surgical exploration showed a distension of the hail and colic coves above a strangulated left diaphragmatic hernia with necrotic transverse colic content. The patient has benefited of a hernia reduction with transverse colic resection removing the necrotic colon and suture of the diaphragmatic breach. The evolution was favorable. Conclusion: The eventuality of a diaphragmatic hernia must always be suggested in case of violent thoraco abdominal trauma. Among the causes of intestinal occlusion, the strangulation of a diaphragmatic hernia should be considered, especially if there is a history of thoracoabdominal trauma.

Background: Dressing of post-surgical procedures was mainly dependent on Povidone iodine and saline gauze dressing, with longer hospital stay and more frequent dressing times which lead to increase surgical sites infection rates. Patient and Methods: This study is an observational prospective comparative cross-sectional hospital-based study, was conducted at Omdurman Maternity Hospital from November 2020 till August 2021. Data were collected by standardized questionnaire and analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Results: A total of 196 patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were included in the study,(95) patients were undergone a povidone iodine dressing and (101) patients were on Hydrocolloid dressing. The mean age of recruited patients was found to be 31 ± 5.6 SD years; the age range was (15-47) years. The most encountered symptom in day zero and day 7 was abdominal pain (89%), which was more in povidone iodine dressing patients (50%, p value < 0.0001). The most encountered symptom in day two was the abdominal pain (34.5%) similarly; it was more in povidone iodine dressing group (25%, p value < 0.0001). The most encountered sign in day seven and day 14 was surgical site tenderness (40%, 32% respectively), and it found to be more in povidone iodine dressing group in days seven (27%, p value 0.008) and day 14 (24%, p value 0.0001). P value was also scientifically significant in wound exudate and Fever, as Povidone iodine dressing showed higher percentages compared to hydrocolloid dressing. 17% of patients showed complete healing days 0f <6 days, 87% of them were of hydrocolloids dressing type (P value < 0.0001). Sixty percent of Hydrocolloid dressing patients retained their activity within (8-14) days postoperatively with significant satisfaction and 53% of povidone iodine patients retained their more than 2 weeks postoperative (P value < 0.0001). The mean total cost of dressing including the dressing frequency and nurse feasting hydrocolloid dressing ........
The Severity of Ophthalmic Damage Following Plantain Sap Used in the Treatment of Febrile Convulsion (A Case Report)
Authors: A Ibanga A. , O Ochigbo S. , O Osong A.
Published: June 2022

In the course of both conventional (orthodox) and non-orthodox (trado - spiritual, etc) health care service delivery we encounter patients that may present with conditions that require eye care intervention primarily or with eye ailments alongside other systemic ailments. The initial interventional measure may be deficient and sometimes results in severe ocular morbidity. This case report is the instillation of substance (sap from plantain stem) into the eyes of a one-month old male child by a non-orthodox health care provider in the treatment of febrile seizure with the aim to subside twitching of the eye lid that usually accompany other generalized tonic clonic activities in febrile seizures which the child presented with to the spiritual practitioner. This resulted in severe ocular chemical injury as presented here with bilateral symblepharon and corneal ulceration. Intervention by rodding with copious antibiotic ointment under topical anaesthetic reversed the symblepharon while institution of topical vitamin C fortified tear substitute, cycloplegic and antibiotics achieved positive results with resolution of the corneal ulcer. The case report identifies one of such of so many conditions where the larger health care service primary intervention interferes negatively with proper eye care service intervention, hence the need for universal health services where eye care service needs to be properly integrated into the larger health care service including the non-orthodox health care providers by way of health education and awareness.

Background: Haemangiopericytoma (HPC) is a rare mesenchymal tumour. It was first described in 1942 by A.P. Stout and M. Murray. It represents less than 1% of intracranial tumours. Its location in the cerebellopontine angle and its appearance on CT or MRI can be misleading and lead to a false diagnosis of acoustic neuroma or meningioma. Hemangiopericytoma is characterised by its malignant potential, high rate of recurrence and distant metastases, justifying wide surgical removal and additional radiotherapy.

Published: June 2022

Gadget adalah suatu peranti atau instrumen yang memiliki tujuan dan fungsi praktis yang secara spesifik dirancang lebih canggih dibandingkan dengan teknologi yang diciptakan sebelumnya. Gadget biasanya digunakan oleh orang dewasa untuk komunikasi dan memperoleh informasi, tetapi saat ini banyak digunakan oleh anak usia dini. Anak usia dini adalah anak yang berusia 0-6 tahun. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui penggunaan gadget (aplikasi, durasi dan intensitas), dampak penggunaan gadget (baik positif maupun negatif) dan cara mengatasi dampak negatif penggunaan gadget pada anak usia dini di SPS Harapan Bangsa. Adapun metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode studi kasus dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Lokasi penelitian bertempat di SPS Harapan Bangsa. Dalam penelitian ini sampel dipilih secara purposif dengan menggunakan teknik snowball sampling dan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik observasi, wawancara. Bentuk penggunaan gadget pada anak usia dini di SPS Harapan Bangsa hanya sebatas menggunakan aplikasi-aplikasi tertentu diantaranya yaitu game, youtube dan membuka galeri (foto dan video) serta musik. Dalam penggunaannya pun sebagian besar siswa SPS Harapan Bangsa termasuk dalam kategori rendah yaitu dengan durasi 0-15 menit dengan intensitas 1-2 kali dalam seharinya. Orangtua sebagai kunci utama seharusnya dapat menjadi contoh atau teladan yang baik saat menggunakan gadget dan hendaknya orangtua mempertimbangkan kembali dampak yang akan ditimbulkan saat ingin memberikan gadget atau membelikan gadget khusus untuk anak karena anak pada usia 0-6 tahun merupakan masa keemasan (Golden Age), dimana anak pada usia tersebut lebih baik di arahkan ke dalam kegiatan-kegiatan yang dapat merangsang tumbuh kembang anak tanpa menggunakan gadget.

Authors: González Rosales Virginia Margarita , Velasco Aulcy Lizzette
Published: June 2022

El Valle de Guadalupe es la región más característica de Baja California en cuanto a la producción de vinos, por tal motivo, se considera a la sustentabilidad una vía para permitir, tanto la permanencia de las empresas, como un valor agregado, ante los consumidores. En el presente trabajo se realizó una medición de la sustentabilidad con respecto a las variables económica, social, ambiental y organizacional para medir el estado actual de las empresas vitivinícolas de la región, esto a través de la aplicación de una encuesta a los vitivinicultores y responsables de las empresas, encontrándose que la mayor parte de las organizaciones se encuentran en un nivel medio y alto acorde a una escala propia. Además, se buscó relacionar los niveles de sustentabilidad con el volumen de producción anual a través de la correlación de Spearman, encontrándose un nivel de asociación de 0.443, por lo que se considera que la relación entre ambas variables es débil.
El rol del Estado, la gobernanza y el desarrollo regional del turismo en Chile
Authors: Pacheco Habert Guillermo Sebastián
Published: June 2022

El objetivo de este ensayo es “analizar el rol del Estado sobre la gobernanza en el desarrollo regional del turismo en Chile”. Esta investigación relaciona los aportes teóricos de la gobernanza con casos aplicados al desarrollo regional y el turismo en las regiones de la Araucanía, Los Ríos, Los Lagos y Aysén en Chile, mediante un conocimiento situado a partir de mi experiencia de investigación (de 11 años). Los principales resultados de esta investigación son el análisis y descripción de los procesos asociados a la gobernanza y asociatividad del turismo en regiones, y sobre cómo estos procesos se relacionan con la nueva gestión pública y con la nueva gobernanza pública. Se concluye que el desarrollo regional del turismo fomentado por el Estado no está siendo encaminado por procesos de gobernanza colaborativa, sino, principalmente por procesos de gestión de asociaciones público-privadas con características transaccionales.

Los pagos de facilitación (faciliting payments) en el T-MEC
Authors: Pérez Saldaña Juan Manuel
Published: June 2022

Por primera ocasión en un tratado comercial (T-MEC), México, Estados Unidos y Canadá reconocen los efectos negativos de los delitos de corrupción en el comercio y la inversión, por lo que se comprometieron a tipificar como delito al cohecho, en sus respectivas leyes, y a promover la ética, los alertadores, las buenas prácticas contables, etc., con la participación del sector público, privado y de la sociedad. De igual manera, acordaron desalentar los denominados “pagos de facilitación” a funcionarios públicos, conforme a su derecho interno. En virtud de que los casos de relevancia que se han presentado sobre “pagos de facilitación” involucran a empresas de Estados Unidos y a funcionarios de México, en este trabajo solo se analizarán los pagos de facilitación en estos dos países, así como sus repercusiones en el comercio, inversión y combate a la corrupción.
Importancia de contar con una estadística electoral federal plena de certeza: propuesta para conseguirlo
Authors: Barrera Ambriz David Oscar
Published: June 2022

La celebración de elecciones en México produce resultados que se traducen en escaños de mayoría relativa o de representación proporcional, es decir, por voto directo o a través de aplicar fórmulas contenidas en la ley, sin embargo, existen diferencias entre Lapsus Calami y la estadística electoral federal. El presente artículo ofrece una propuesta para que la estadística electoral utilizada en la repartición de escaños sea la misma que utilicen el Tribunal Electoral del Poder Judicial de la Federación y el Instituto Nacional Electoral con el objetivo de reducir los errores en asignación de curules y de contar con una correcta distribución de escaños ante la traducción exacta de los votos emitidos por la ciudadanía.

La problematización y su incidencia entre el ser y el parecer científicos
Authors: Ordóñez Joaquín
Published: June 2022

En los verdaderos círculos de discusión científica y teórica se gestan genuinas reflexiones y se producen agudas e incisivas inquisiciones sobre lo dicho, sobre lo establecido y sobre lo pretendidamente dogmático, y esto rivaliza con el bluf del “científico” (así, entre comillas) que solamente aparenta discutir científicamente. Esto no abona en nada (antes bien, perjudica) al desarrollo académico de una universidad o, incluso, de un país, ya que esa banalidad intelectual que presume de reflexión y análisis teóricos acerca de los fenómenos sociales y jurídicos (en el peor de los casos) y de conocimiento profundo (en el mejor de ellos), representa una superficialidad atentatoria del verdadero espíritu del hombre de ciencia.
Les Accords Réciproques pour l’Eau comme outil de participation citoyenne et de développement local
Authors: Mora Bernal Adriana Elizabeth , Ávila Larrea Javier , Bonilla Tello Paola
Published: June 2022

Malgré les efforts croissants pour prendre soin de l’environnement, les bassins fluviaux continuent de faire face à de graves problèmes. Dans cet intérêt à endiguer ce problème, les Accords Réciproques pour l’Eau (ARE) sont nés comme une alternative aux instruments économiques traditionnels de protection de l’environnement. Le présent travail vise à analyser la participation des habitants du bassin supérieur et inférieur, entre les années 2013-2019, dans le microbassin du fleuve Tabacay, sud de l'Équateur. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que la gestion de l'eau doit s'articuler autour de la participation active des habitants à la recherche d'un progrès local qui permette un développement territorial durable.
Political participation of women and electoral competitiveness in the State of Mexico
Authors: Lozano Sanabria Patricia
Published: June 2022

The central argument of this paper is that electoral competitiveness is currently the main challenge for the political participation of women in Mexico. Thus, and based on the theory of the new institutionalism, it is analyzed how electoral reforms in matters of gender, from those that guaranteed voting to those that mandate equal integration, as well as the methodology of competitiveness blocks, represent mechanisms that promote the insertion of more women in popular vote positions. Finally, a series of adjustments are proposed to the conformation of the competitiveness blocks to improve their results.
Calidad de vida y participación electoral ciudadana: una mirada al Estado de México
Authors: Hernández Tolentino Rocío Grece
Published: June 2022

Con este trabajo se pretende conocer la relación entre la participación ciudadana en las elecciones de 2018 en el Estado de México y el índice de calidad de vida en cada una de las secciones electorales. Para tal efecto, elaboré un indicador compuesto de catorce censos correspondientes al año 2020, los cuales permitieron hacer una covarianza y explorar la relación. La hipótesis positiva, indica que existe una asociación entre calidad de vida y participación; la negativa, implica una disociación entre dichas variables. A partir de la evidencia empírica se comprobará alguna de las hipótesis planteadas y sus implicaciones.
Actores y prácticas en la circulación internacional de literatura mexicana: el caso de David Toscana
Authors: Ramos-García Andrés
Published: June 2022

La circulación internacional de los libros involucra diversos actores y prácticas y se realiza en gran medida por la acumulación de capitales. Este flujo se vuelve viable, sobre todo, con la actividad traductora. Desde una perspectiva sociológica, nos detenemos en algunos actores de la circulación de literatura mexicana en un espacio internacional, parte de un estudio de caso: la traducción de la producción narrativa de David Toscana. Se resalta la importancia que adquieren los distintos actores de este circuito, la construcción y efectos del prestigio, así como la poca visibilidad que hay respecto a algunos involucrados, como el agente literario. Esta última figura se ha vuelto indispensable para la puesta en marcha de las traducciones y su ingreso a los mercados.
