International Comparison of Manifestations and Tendencies of Latent Juvenile Delinquency in Lithuania
Authors: Sakalauskas Gintautas
Published: July 2022

Juvenile delinquency is a universal phenomenon inherent in the process of biological and social maturation characterized by high latency. Although juvenile delinquent behaviour, due to its spontaneity and recklessness, is easily noticeable and not difficult to investigate, it is often not officially recorded because it is primarily addressed through means of informal social control. Various studies show that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are much more likely to fall into a network of formal social control. Thus, the registered juvenile delinquency not only makes up a very small part of the total juvenile delinquency but its structure and socio-demographic indicators of the accused are also distorted by the selectivity and stigmatization of social control. However, when analysing juvenile delinquency in Lithuania, it is still common to present only the number of registered cases, to analyse them, draw certain conclusions based on them alone, and even develop preventative juvenile delinquency programs. This situation is partly due to the Soviet tradition, which still significantly impacts the general approach to criminal behaviour, in which the latency of criminal behaviour was considered not as a natural and inevitable but a negative and to be destroyed phenomenon. On the other hand, there are few studies of latent juvenile delinquency in Lithuania. They are carried out irregularly according to different methodologies and do not always cover the full complexity of juvenile delinquency. In the article manifestations of latent juvenile delinquency, its’ structure and tendencies in Lithuania are analyzed, Lithuanian indicators are also compared with the indicators of other European countries. Despite some differences in the structure of juvenile delinquency between countries, it can be argued that delinquent behavior is common among juveniles living in all countries, and is usually mild and episodic. According to the analyzed indicators, Lithuania stands out with one essential difference – frequent bullying among secondary school students in all age groups.
Complying with Sharia While Exempting from Value-Added Tax: Murābaḥah in Indonesian Islamic Banks
Authors: Hidayah Nur , Muslim Moch. Bukhori , Azis Abdul
Published: July 2022

Law number 42/2009 on Value Added Tax and some subsequent amendments have exempted Islamic banks from the value-added tax on their murābaḥah transactions. This provision raises the sharia issue because the goods are delivered directly from the supplier to the customer. At the same time, the DSN-MUI Fatwa regarding the murābaḥah contract sets that banks must first buy and own the goods from the suppliers before selling them back to the customers. With this tax provision, murābaḥah transactions have shifted from trade systems to service ones because banks directly transfer funds to customers to purchase goods. Such tax policy has dealt with the so-called double taxation issue of Islamic banks but sacrificed the compliance of sharia principles. This paper seeks to solve this dilemma by proposing a revision of tax regulations for murābaḥah transactions using philosophical, juridical, and sociological legal approaches. The delivery of goods from suppliers to banks and from banks to customers is included in non-taxable goods transactions for Islamic banks. With this proposal, Islamic banks are expected to be exempted from value-added tax while complying with sharia principles and competing with conventional banks.  AbstrakUU No. 42/2009 tentang Pajak Pertambahan Nilai dan beberapa amandemen berikutnya telah membebaskan bank syariah dari pajak pertambahan nilai (PPN) pada transaksi murabahah. Namun ketentuan ini dianggap menimbulkan isu syariah karena barang diserahkan langsung dari pemasok ke nasabah, sedangkan Fatwa DSN-MUI tentang akad murabahah mengatur bahwa bank harus membeli dan memiliki barang terlebih dahulu dari pemasok sebelum menjualnya kembali kepada nasabah. Dengan ketentuan pajak ini, transaksi murabahah telah bergeser dari sistem jual beli menjadi sistem jasa karena bank dianggap tidak melakukan pembelian barang melainkan mentransfer dana pembelian barang kepada nasabah. Ketentuan pajak ini telah meringankan beban pajak pertambahan nilai bank syariah namun mengorbankan pemenuhan prinsip syariah. Kajian ini berupaya mencari solusi dilema ini dengan usulan revisi regulasi perpajakan untuk transaksi murabahah dengan pendekatan analisa legal filosofis, normatif, dan sosiologis. Penyerahan barang dari pemasok kepada bank dan dari bank kepada nasabah dimasukkan dalam transaksi barang tidak kena pajak. Dengan usulan ini diharapkan bank syariah tetap terhindar dari pajak ganda, namun tetap memenuhi prinsip syariah serta berdaya saing dengan bank konvensional.
Prevalence of Tooth Loss, Bleeding on Probing and Malocclusion as Oral Disease Indicators in Costa Rican Male Adolescents: a Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Barahona-Cubillo Juan Bautista , Rojas-Brenes Cinthya , Sánchez-Achío Tony , Stradi-Granados Sonia , Barboza-Solís Cristina
Published: July 2022

The evidence to characterize oral health during adolescence in Costa Rica is limited. This lack of adequate research makes it difficult to develop appropriate health policies for this subgroup of the population. This is particularly important because adolescence is the period during which good health habits must take root in order to foster good physical and cognitive development. This study aims to determine the prevalence of tooth loss, bleeding on probing and malocclusion in Costa Rican male adolescents at the “Colegio Técnico Profesional San Agustín” (St. Augustine’s Technical High School) located in the province of Cartago. Data was collected from 428 male adolescents aged 12-22 years in a cross-sectional study during 2019. Prevalence of tooth loss was calculated as the number of individuals having lost at least one tooth. The average number of teeth lost by individuals was also recorded. The bleeding on probing was an indicator used as a proxy parameter for monitoring periodontal health where the presence of bleeding on probing and calculus was also recorded. Malocclusion was measured using the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI). The results showed that the prevalence of tooth loss, bleeding on probing and malocclusion was of 19%, 70.0% and 98%, respectively. It was also found that 81% of the participants had all their teeth, 11% had lost 1 tooth, 8% had lost more than one tooth of which 0.5% had lost more than 5 teeth. Considering a general classification of periodontal problems based on bleeding on probing and presence of calculus, the prevalence of periodontal problems increases to 92%. Regarding the DAI, the category identifying a very severe malocclusion was the most prevalent in the sample (88%). It is alarming the high prevalence of tooth loss, bleeding on probing, and malocclusions in a sample of Costa Rican male adolescents, compared to similar studies in other countries. The overarching conclusion of this study is that oral diseases represent an important health problem that urgently need proper public health action.

Indian Hair-Wringing Apsaras and her Discriminating Goose
Authors: Cohen Simona
Published: July 2022

The present study investigates depictions of the Indian apsaras wringing water from her hair in monumental religious iconography. It demonstrates the migration of iconography and transformations of meaning from the northern sources to other areas of India and ultimately to parts of southeast Asia. I examine ancient literary and visual sources of the hair-wringing apsaras, mediator of the life-giving celestial waters, and the goose that drinks her hair-water in Buddhist, Hindu and Jain artistic contexts, demonstrating expressions of abstruse theological concepts. The salient virtue of the mythic hamsa (migrating goose) was its ability to separate milk from water (nira-ksira-viveka). This discrimination, already mentioned in Vedic and later sources, was appropriated as a metaphoric image in moral, didactic, theological and philosophical contexts. Connotations implicit in the myth of the potent water that passes through the apsaras’s hair are compared to those of the rejuvenating waters that flowed through Siva’s ascetic locks in the myth of Gangadhara.

Starlike functions associated with an epicycloid
Authors: GANDHİ Shweta , GUPTA Prachi , NAGPAL Sumıt , RAVİCHANDRAN V
Published: July 2022

For a natural number $n\geq 2$, the function $\phi_{n\mathcal{L}}(z)=1+nz/(n+1)+z^n/(n+1)$ maps the open unit disk onto a domain bounded by an epicycloid with $(n-1)$ cusps. A class of starlike functions associated with $\phi_{n\mathcal{L}}$ is defined in the unit disk and its sharp bounds on initial coefficients, various inclusion relations and radii problems related to the other subclasses of starlike functions are investigated. As an application, the corresponding results are determined in the limiting case for the class of normalized analytic functions $f$ satisfying $|zf'(z)/f(z)-1|<1$ in the unit disk.
Estimation after selection from bivariate normal population with application to poultry feeds data
Authors: ARSHAD Mohd. , ABDALGHANİ Omer , MEENA K. R. , PATHAK Ashok
Published: July 2022

In many practical situations, it is often desired to select a population (treatment, product, technology, etc.) from a choice of several populations on the basis of a particular characteristic that associated with each population, and then estimate the characteristic associated with the selected population. The present paper is focused on estimating a characteristic of the selected bivariate normal population, using a LINEX loss function. A natural selection rule is used for achieving the aim of selecting the best bivariate normal population. Some natural-type estimators and Bayes estimator (using a conjugate prior) of a parameter of the selected population are presented. An admissible subclass of equivariant estimators, using the LINEX loss function, is obtained. Further, a sufficient condition for improving the competing estimators is derived. Using this sufficient condition, several estimators improving upon the proposed natural estimators are obtained. Further, an application of the derived results is provided by considering the poultry feeds data. Finally, a comparative study on the competing estimators of a parameter of the selected population is carried-out using simulation.

Comics as Literary Compasses and Kaleidoscopes
Authors: Low David E. , Torres Francisco L.
Published: July 2022

Through an analysis of published graphic novels and comics created by schoolchildren, and building upon RudineSims Bishop’s literary metaphors, we discuss how comics serve as compasses and kaleidoscopes that allow readers/composers/educators to center justice in the storying process. We argue that the comics medium provides readers and authors specific affordances (interiority, multiperspectivity, fragmentation, ambiguity, juxtaposition, and focalization) for bending reality and framing stories of the unseen, unheard, and hidden in the margins. We address teachers directly in exploring what’s possible when texts are read kaleidoscopically to engage the multiperspectival/multiversal/liminal nature of a robustly multimodal medium.

Results also suggested that participants with prior experience with graphic novels appeared to have a more positive experience with the project.
Advanced Practice Nursing in Brazil: how are we and what is missing?
Authors: Püschel Vilanice Alves de Araújo , Paz Elisabete Pimenta Araújo , Ribeiro Rennan Martins , Alvarez Angela Maria , Cunha Carlos Leonardo Figueiredo
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on the role and initiatives of the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEn) and the Federal Nursing Council (Cofen) in the development, recognition, and regulation necessary to implement advanced practice nursing (APN) in Brazil. Method: This is a theoretical-reflective essay resulting from the roundtable discussion entitled “Regulation and recognition of advanced nursing practices in Brazil: how are we and what is missing” held in May 2021, at the III International Symposium on Adult Health. Results: ABEn and Cofen are strategic partners to define the areas of activity of this specialization in Brazil. Nursing organizations are responsible for defining professional profiles and curricula, advanced practice nursing conditions, and adequacy of existing graduate courses aiming at technical support, political leadership, regulation, and construction of an APN foundation in Brazil. Conclusion: Brazil must broaden the national debate on APN, define a training model for it, and articulate efforts with all its strategic partners to build a theoretical, political, and labor framework for advanced practice nurses’ full professional practice.
Ductal-cutaneous fistula secondary to recurrent Bartholin’s cysts: a case report
Authors: Ikoma Danielle A. , Shaffer Sarah A.
Published: July 2022

Background: Disorders of the Bartholin’s duct and gland, including cyst and abscess formation, account for 2% of gynecologic visits annually. An uncommon complication of a Bartholin’s duct or gland abscess is fistula formation. Literature has described cases of recto-Bartholin’s and recto-vaginal fistulas. Case: We present a case of fistula development between the perineum and the Bartholin’s duct and gland. The patient was successfully managed with fistulectomy and Bartholin’s gland excision. Conclusion: Though fistula formation is a rare complication of Bartholin’s duct and gland pathology, investigation is warranted. A ductal-cutaneous fistula is possible in the setting of recurrent cysts located beyond the vaginal introitus. The best method of prevention is appropriate execution of a marsupialization. Complete removal of the fistulous tract and Bartholin’s duct and/or gland can result in resolution of symptoms.

Published: July 2022

The RSG-GAS multipurpose reactor is operated to serve the utilization in the field of radioisotope production and NAA, material research. The reactor actually has power of 30 MW thermal, but upon considerations of efficiency and of most users requirements, the reactor is mostly operated at the power of 15 MW thermal, 5 days a week to produce a primary radioisotope from target of 2 grams U-235. To guarantee the safe operation and optimum utilization, a safety procedure was established. The paper is intended to assesst the operation safety in serving radioisotope target irradiation at its cycle operation. Assessment was carried out for core numbers 102 – 105. The result shows that excess reactivity and shutdown margin reactivity are safe to provide the target irradiation in the core for each cycle operation.
Reseña de Permanencia, intercambios y chamanismo entre los embera del Chocó, Colombia
Authors: Marulanda García David
Published: July 2022

Permanencia, intercambios y chamanismo entre los embera del Chocó de Mauricio Pardo se propone entender la permanencia de los indígenas embera en el Chocó colombiano tras casi cuatro siglos de contacto. Esta permanencia, según muestra el autor, no puede explicarse de forma exclusiva por los hechos económicos o las particularidades de la selva húmeda chocoana.

En este libro no se contempla a una sociedad detenida en el tiempo o carente de conflictos y contradicciones. Todo lo contrario. Expone con detalle las transformaciones de los embera, así como las distintas reacciones del grupo a esas intervenciones. En el centro de su argumento están los flexibles intercambios que se han adaptado a las nuevas circunstancias de ese contacto (intercambios materiales, simbólicos, económicos, monetarios, rituales,  entre distintos “mundos” y entre humanos y no humanos). El acercamiento a estos intercambios, de los que el chamanismo y el mercado son fuerzas importantes, hace que el libro logre profundizar en las complejidades de esa permanencia.
El destino de los que no volvieron: análisis bioantropológico de un combatiente peruano muerto en batalla durante la Guerra del Pacífico
Authors: Pezo Lanfranco Luis , Álvarez Calmet Micaela , Vega Centeno Alzamora Milena , Gomes Saravia Angélica
Published: July 2022

En este trabajo se reportan los resultados del análisis bioantropológico de un combatiente peruano muerto en la batalla del Alto de la Alianza (26 de mayo de 1880, Tacna, Perú). El perfil biológico del individuo y la naturaleza de sus lesiones fueron examinados con métodos osteológicos estandarizados. El análisis indica que se trataba de un individuo de sexo masculino de entre 27 y 37 años, una estatura media aproximada de 1,64 m (con rango de variación posible entre 1,58 y 1,72 m), con algunos rasgos morfológicos craneofaciales que sugieren una probable ascendencia europea. Según lo demuestran sus lesiones, fue malherido por al menos dos proyectiles de arma de fuego y finalmente “repasado” por las tropas enemigas con un tiro de fusil. Los resultados aquí expuestos constituyen un crudo ejemplo de las prácticas de combate de finales del siglo XIX.
Estimación de la edad dental adulta: validación del método Ubelaker & Parra en una muestra contemporánea de la región de Cusco, Perú
Authors: Quispe Yupayccana Christian Sebastian
Published: July 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la exactitud del método Ubelaker y Parra desarrollada en el año 2008, el cual es empleado como estimador de edad en una muestra de población adulta contemporánea extraída de la provincia de Cusco, departamento de Cusco - Perú. Para tal fin se aplicóla ecuación de regresión lineal generada por este estudio, con una muestra de 43 piezas dentales extraídas de esqueletos con un rango de edad entre30 a 73 años, conformada por 25 individuos masculinos y 4 femeninos. La aplicación de este método implicó la medición de tres características dentalesque permitió obtener la edad dental estimada. Una vez conocida la edad cronológica al tiempo de muerte de la muestra de este estudio, se evaluóla exactitud de este método sobre los márgenes de error descubiertos. Los errores medios de estimación de este método, que fueron obtenidosen la presente investigación, no muestran diferencias significativas en individuos que están en un rango de edad de 30 a 49 años, ahora bien, en edades superiores a estas, en particular en individuos más ancianos, la variación es muy notable y las diferencias sí alcanzan a ser significativas.

El error absoluto total descubierto en este estudio fue de 11.18 años, por lo que la exactitud de este método aplicado sobre una población especifica esconfiable.
Entre lo urbano y lo rural. El caso de un barrio indígena wayuu de la Baja Guajira
Authors: Ángel Rodríguez Dary Marcela
Published: July 2022

Cuando se plantea la relación entre lo rural y lo urbano se podría pensar en principio en un ejercicio analítico de corte comparativo que pone en evidencia características definitorias y clasificatorias de los espacios, de las formas de habitar, de los modos de producción y de los complejosideológicos de los grupos humanos que moran en uno u otro espacio. Este documento presenta una propuesta de análisis de esta tensión entre lo urbano y lo rural desde la antropología de la experiencia y la antropología urbana para el caso de un asentamiento indígena en el municipio de Barrancas, en la Baja Guajira, Colombia. La perspectiva de análisis multimodal desde la semiótica social guía el proceso metodológico privilegiadopara analizar prácticas y discursos alrededor del espacio que dan cuenta de una “difuminación” de las fronteras entre lo que se ha caracterizadocomo urbano y rural. Por ello, reflexionar sobre los modos de habitar como complejos procesos de la vida en comunidad tanto desde puntos de vistatanto funcionales como simbólicos, permite plantear que la dinámica constante entre los espacios puede ser concebida desde una base relacionalentre sociedades.
Significados de ser artesano indígena: modos de vida en Santa María Atzompa, Oaxaca, México
Authors: Pérez López Elvira Iveth , Méndez García Elia María del Carmen
Published: July 2022

A pesar de que los artesanos han sido reconocidos como parte del patrimonio cultural intangible, sus condiciones de vida siguen siendo precarias en sumayoría, lo cual limita la permanencia de su trabajo. No obstante, quienes continúan con el trabajo artesanal, reproducen los significados de su labor yfavorecen la economía local. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar los modos de vida de los alfareros de Atzompa en dos dimensiones: la cultura y el territorio. El trabajo de campo se realizó, bajo una investigación cualitativa, de enero de 2017 a diciembre de 2019; las técnicas utilizadas fueron la observación participante durante un año festivo, seis talleres con 77 artesanos y 15 entrevistas a profundidad. Se encontró que los alfareros reproducen la vida material y simbólica; generan remuneración para la supervivencia, y a la vez, sostienen la autonomía familiar, el aprendizaje y la enseñanza continua, la espiritualidad y el autorreconocimiento y orgullo de ser alfarero. Estos significados dotan sentido ser alfarero y, por tanto, favorecen su permanencia.

Creatividad social, imaginación y placer político: reflexiones sobre la antropología de David Graeber
Authors: Gaztaña Julieta
Published: July 2022

El objetivo de este ensayo es reflexionar sobre la antropología del malogrado David Graeber. Partiendo de un cuestionamiento a la separación entre sus obras académicas (de erudición antropológica y etnográfica) y sus obras políticas (en un lenguaje incisivo pero accesible a todo público), selecciono tres tópicos o fuentes de la reflexión graeberiana que dan cuenta de esa fútil división. De esta manera, examino sucesivamente los problemas relativos a la creatividad social, la imaginación y el placer político; tres temáticas en las que Graeber innovó tras haber dedicado buena parte de su energía personal, profesional y política a su tratamiento. Además de insertar dichas discusiones conceptuales en una lectura analítica crítica y sistemática de su obra, identifico discusiones conceptuales más acotadas o específicas que surgen de las mismas y dan cuenta de sus interrelaciones. En las conclusiones propongo que Graeber construyó una trascendencia propia frente a las jerarquías sutiles y discretas de la academia y la política del saber,hiriendo sus dogmatismos sectarios de una manera original, irreverente y lúdica.

Dudo Errante es un clásico de la literatura de ciencia ficción. La historia se desarrolla en más de 200 años, mucho tiempo después de un holocausto nuclear que habría dejado devastada una gran parte de la población mundial. En el relato, tanto nuestra historia como nuestra lengua colapsaron, y en consecuencia la obra está redactada en un lenguaje derivado del inglés. Esta particularidad narrativa inspiró el presente artículo. Su objetivo es analizar la variabilidad dialectal presentada en este libro, y tomarla como base para la elaboración de una reflexión sobre el ejercicio antropológico de la transcripción. La literatura nos ofrece aquí importantes herramientas que nos permitirían restituir fielmente los dialectos y acentos de nuestrosinterlocutores. La dificultad reside en el paso de lo oral a lo escrito. Algunas soluciones son dibujadas aquí con el fin de dar testimonio de la diversidadde lenguajes, condición esencial que permite hacer entrar al lector en un mundo particular.
THE APPOINTMENT OF ACTING JUDGES IN SOUTH AFRICA AND LESOTHO

Published: July 2022

The appointment of acting judges is a common practice in many Commonwealth countries, including South Africa and Lesotho. The practice has been criticised as infringing judicial independence. This article explores this criticism with reference to the recent decision of the Lesotho Court of Appeal in Sole v Cullinan, and the Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers’ fact-finding mission to South Africa in 2000.
CONTRACTING WITH THE BODY CORPORATE OF A SECTIONAL TITLE SCHEME
Authors: Henk Delport
Published: July 2022

The judgment in Torgos (Pty) Ltd v Body Corporate of Anchors Aweigh (2006 3 SA 369 (W)) (“Torgos”) is of great importance to trustees and bodies corporate of sectional title schemes, and to third parties entering into contracts with the trustees. It is respectfully submitted that the ultimate decision arrived at by the court is correct, but that trustees and third parties may well be confused by the court’s reasoning in coming to that decision. The effect of the judgment is that when the Sectional Titles Act (“the Act”) and rules empower the trustees to bind the body corporate of a sectional title scheme provided certain “preliminaries” are gone through, a third party dealing with the trustees is not obliged to investigate whether those preliminaries have actually been observed but may assume that they have in fact been complied with. Accordingly, the third party may hold the body corporate to a contract entered into by the trustees, even though the “preliminaries” were not met. However, a third party who enters into a contract with the trustees to purchase the body corporate’s right to extend the sectional title scheme cannot assume that the written consents required for the sale in terms of section 25 of the Act have in fact been obtained. Absent the written consents, the sale agreement entered into by the trustees is void. This begs the question: why cannot third parties also assume that the “preliminaries” referred to in section 25 have been observed? Putting it differently, what can third parties assume and what not?
Interactive Effects of Lake Morphometry and Sticklebacks on the Trophic Position of Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (L.), across Lakes in Western Greenland

Published: July 2022

The structure and functioning of Arctic ecosystems have been drastically modified by global warming, with fish species potentially performing habitat shifts such as the northern expansion of generalist and warm-adapted species. The freshwater fish species Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus, hereafter charr) plays a key role in Arctic lake food webs, but sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) may impact the trophic position (TP) of charr by affecting their habitat choice and food resources. In the present study, we used multiple regression analyses to examine the role of lake morphology (i.e., depth and area) and the influence of sticklebacks on the TP of charr (estimated from δ15N and δ13C) sampled in nine Arctic lakes in Western Greenland between 2011 and 2013. Results showed that charr populations exhibited larger TP values when co-occurring with sticklebacks. Specifically, for larger and deeper lakes, a significant positive effect on TP values was observed for medium-sized (25 to 35 cm) charr. Moreover, the TP of sticklebacks had a null effect on the TP values of the largest charr (> 40 cm), suggesting that the largest-sized charr individuals did not prey on sticklebacks. We conclude that charr undergoes flexible ontogenetic trophic trajectories depending on the species composition of the Arctic fish community structure (here presence or absence of sticklebacks) and abiotic lake features.
Review on milk production performance, challenges, and opportunities of dairy cows production in oromia regional state, Ethiopia
Authors: Melkamu Mesfin Zewde , Wazir Shafi Mustefa
Published: July 2022

This review was conducted to review the information on milk production performance, challenges, and opportunities of dairy cattle production in Oromia. Supported management practices, marketing situations, feed sources, and feeding systems the foremost milk production systems are identified as rural milk production, peri-urban, and concrete milk production. Ethiopia holds large potential for dairy development mainly thanks to an acceptable environment and large cattle number that contains 65.35 million cattle populations. While there is a large milk cow population and favorable climatic conditions, self-sufficiency in milk production is low. The mean values of daily milk yield (DMY) range from 1 to2.8 liter/day with lactation length (LL) of 6.78 to 9.13 months for indigenous breeds, 6.5 to fifteen liters/day with lactation length of 7.52 to 11.67 months for crossbreed cows respectively. Both DMY and LL were significantly stricken by breed, parity, and year of calving. Challenges for dairying vary from one location to a distinct one. The foremost challenge that affects milk production performance of cattle in Oromia includes feed shortage, high feed cost, land shortage for farming of improved forage, insufficient veterinary services, no operational breeding strategy and policy, and low productivity of the indigenous cattle breeds are the foremost important factor limiting dairy products within the region. Therefore, to enhance these milk production performances of the dairy cow to determine genetic improvement policy, strategy, and breeding program and implement well management practices.

Authors: Farfán-Zúñiga Ximena , Jaman-Mewes Paula , Zimmermann-Vildoso Melissa , Campos-Lobos Claudia
Published: July 2022

Objective. To describe the professional practice experiences of fifth year nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods. Qualitative research design with content analysis. Participant sampling was purposive. 13 fifth-year nursing students participated. All of them completed their professional clinical practice in public hospitals and private clinics who cared for COVID-19 patients in Chile. The data were obtained through guided online written self-reflections.

Results. Three main themes were inductively identified: (1) Facing with a very difficult and stressful situation, due to the permanent use of personal protection elements, multiple emotions, and physical fatigue, as well as facing ethical-clinical dilemmas in daily tasks; (2) Recognising different coping styles in difficult moments, highlighting contact with significant people and combination form of support and harmful ways of coping with stress; and (3) Experiences disciplinary learning and personal growth, such as: nursing care management, interpersonal skills in times of crisis and having contributed to the country in this adverse context.

Conclusion.  The clinical experience of the students in times of COVID-19, was an opportunity to learn how to perform nursing care in times of crisis, humanize care and support health teams in some of the country's hospitals.
Social Determination of the Health of Families from Two Neighborhoods in Medellín, Colombia
Authors: Gaviria Noreña Dora Lucía , Álvarez Del Río Rusbert Fernando , Zapata Gómez Nora Eugenia , González Giraldo Maribel
Published: July 2022

Objective. To understand the health process, from the approach of the social determination of health in two neighborhoods in Medellín - Colombia, to contribute to the care of people, families, and collectives in their multidimensional reality.

Methods. Qualitative research from the ethnographic perspective, approaching the general dimension with documentary analysis of social policies and community documents, the particular dimension through focal groups and interviews to community leaders, and the singular dimension with the family visit.

Results. Families and collectives live within a sociocultural setting of resistance, overshadowed by moments of flight and displacement derived from violence, with scant participation in city plans and programs and with structural problems of economic and political exclusion. They constructed the territory as space and shelter in the weave that protects and violates them, with processes from uprooting to rooting. The families have maintained protective processes, like family participation in decision making, knowledge on health care, among others, and destructive processes, like informal labor and job instability, without spaces for recreation and with limitations in transportation, in access to health programs and in obtaining food.

Conclusion. The health of the families has been determined by historical exclusion to work to obtain resources for a minimum vital subsistence, which is why they suffer social vulnerability due to few opportunities for development; they have lived a transformation process of the territory with resistance, solidarity, and construction of social networks.

Dynamic Network State Learning Model for Mobility Based WMSN Routing Protocol
Authors: A Ajina , K. Nair Mydhili
Published: July 2022

The rising demand of wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) has motivated academia-industries to develop energy efficient, Quality of Service (QoS) and delay sensitive communication systems to meet major real-world demands like multimedia broadcast, security and surveillance systems, intelligent transport system, etc. Typically, energy efficiency, QoS and delay sensitive transmission are the inevitable requirements of WMSNs. Majority of the existing approaches either use physical layer or system level schemes that individually can’t assure optimal transmission decision to meet the demand. The cumulative efficiency of physical layer power control, adaptive modulation and coding and system level dynamic power management (DPM) are found significant to achieve these demands. With this motivation, in this paper a unified model is derived using enhanced reinforcement learning and stochastic optimization method. Exploiting physical as well as system level network state information, our proposed dynamic network state learning model (NSLM) applies stochastic optimization to learn network state-activity that derives an optimal DPM policy and PHY switching scheduling. NSLM applies known as well as unknown network state variables to derive transmission and PHY switching policy, where it considers DPM as constrained Markov decision process (MDP) problem. Here,the use of Hidden Markov Model and Lagrangian relaxation has made NSLM convergence swift that assures delay-sensitive, QoS enriched, and bandwidth and energy efficient transmission for WMSN under uncertain network conditions. Our proposed NSLM DPM model has outperformed traditional Q-Learning based DPM in terms of buffer cost, holding cost, overflow, energy consumption and bandwidth utilization.
Политический брендинг: разворот к символической политике
Authors: Пушкарева Галина
Published: July 2022

Политический брендинг традиционно воспринимается как субдисциплина политического маркетинга. В данной статье предлагается выйти за пределы маркетингового подхода и рассмотреть политический брендинг как вид символической политики. Символическая политика как теоретико-методологическое направление позволяет прежде всего поставить вопрос о расширении поля применения политического брендинга как технологии политического влияния. Если в рамках маркетинговой парадигмы политический брендинг рассматривается как инструмент конкурентной борьбы главным образом в электоральных процессах, то включение политического брендинга в предметное поле символической политики позволяет ставить вопрос о его использовании для решения более широкого круга политических задач, включая формирование национальной идентичности и доверия к органам государственной власти, повышение престижа отдельных форм гражданской активности и др. Обращение к теоретико-методологическому потенциалу символической политики также дает возможность иначе взглянуть и на сам процесс конструирования политических брендов. Если маркетинговый подход требует от политических бренд-менеджеров ориентации на рационального человека, осознающего свои потребности, стремящегося к максимальной выгоде, способного оценивать результаты своих поступков, то парадигма символической политики подсказывает создателям политических брендов, что политические предпочтения граждан не столько результат рационального расчета, сколько следствие усвоенных мифологем и идеологем. В статье политический бренд определяется как узнаваемый и легко отличаемый символ, способный притягивать внимание и выполнять роль стимула, запускающего в психике определенные когнитивные и эмоциональные процессы. Обосновывается определяющая роль в создании политических брендов таких символических конструктов, как мифологемы и идеологемы. Конкуренция брендов рассматривается как соревнование политических сил за присвоение права на включение в создаваемый бренд популярных в массовом сознании мифов и ценностных суждений. Раскрываются условия “выгорания” политического бренда. Обращается внимание на использование символических механизмов в политике оспаривания и дискредитации брендов политических соперников.
Disinfectant as Removal Agent of the Pre-Formed Biofilm by Staphylococcus sp. Isolated from Dental Clinics in Taif, KSA
Authors: Khalil Maha
Published: July 2022

Background and purpose: Staphylococcus sp. are pathogenic bacteria widely investigated for its high incidence in clinical environments and its ability to form strong biofilms. The biofilm-related infections can resist several antimicrobial agents; therefore, the therapy of these infections may face difficulties. The aim of this study is to identify staphylococcal bacteria isolated from dental clinics, evaluate the effect of some disinfectants on removing the preformed biofilms and to demonstrate the adhesion of cells on the surfaces of some materials used for manufacturing the dental material using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Material and Methods: Out of 70 different swabs, 12 Staphylococcal isolates were recovered. All isolates were subjected to 13 antimicrobial agents to test their sensitivity. The biofilm established isolates, as well as the effect of some disinfectant as removal agents of the preformed biofilm were estimated using microtiter plate (MtP) test. SEM was used for demonstrating biofilm formation by the tested isolates on stainless steel and rubber surfaces. Results: Of 12 Staphylococcus isolates, 33.3, 16.6 and 50% were shown strong, moderate and weak biofilm producers, respectively. Adhesions of the preformed biofilm were found to be reduced in the presence of betadine and sodium bicarbonate. Captured photographs by SEM confirmed the capability of biofilm formation by S. aureus H3 and S. hominis M0401 on stainless steel and rubber surfaces. Conclusion: the effective preventive strategies for infection control are essential to prevent staphylococcal infections in the dental clinics. This study reveals effective antibiofilm agents as betadine and sodium bicarbonate.
High voltage electrical injury- Knowledge and need of the hour
Authors: Ali Kashif , Khan Mohd Kaleem
Published: July 2022

Electrical burns are linked to a high rate of morbidity and mortality, and are usually avoidable with basic safety precautions. High voltage electrical injuries are uncommon, yet they have a high death rate. Electrocution refers to any death caused by an electrical shock to the body. Although the introduction of electricity was hailed as a gift to civilization, its use in domestic households has continued to increase fatalities, either because of lack of public awareness, total negligence on the part of the general people and electrical distribution agencies. Electricity's ever-increasing reliance on industry and domestic demands exposes man to injury from electric current and equipment that runs on it.
