CO2 Electrolysis in Integrated Artificial Photosynthesis Systems
Authors: Kamiya Kazuhide , Fujii Katsushi , Sugiyama Masakazu , Nakanishi Shuji 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Integrated artificial photosynthesis is an approach to establish optimized systems for carbon recycling by combining high-efficiency photovoltaic and CO2 electrolysis at high productivity and selectivity. In contrast to natural photosynthesis, the integrated system aims at high energy conversion efficiency from sunlight to hydrocarbon products taking advantage of both high efficiency in photovoltaic cells and the freedom of design for individual components, while learning from the advantage of photosynthesis to produce high-value chemicals.

Background One of the poorest countries in the world, Malawi's palliative care system is under-resourced, and one-third of the population is food-insecure. Aims This study describes the lived experience of female palliative care patients, and their caregivers, and aimed to: (1) analyse their physical, spiritual and mental health needs; and (2) analyse best palliative nursing practice for patients at the end of life. An unexpected finding was the impact of food insecurity on the women and their caregivers. Methods We conducted interviews with 26 women who at the end of life and 14 of their caregivers. All were participating in a community palliative care programme offered by an AIDS support organisation in Kasungu, Malawi. We used deductive qualitative analysis to organise identified themes using the four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilisation and stability. Findings All study participants experienced challenges with food security. Conclusions We offer policy recommendations for palliative care nurses, and other allied health professionals.

La herencia cultural europea en las obras de Ricardo Piglia
Authors: Cselik Ágnes 
Published: October 2020

Resumen: Ricardo Piglia, autor argentino de indudable importancia es un gran pensador sobre la cultura en el sentido más amplio de la palabra. En sus obras los personajes piensan, conversan y reflexionan sobre la cultura y la historia argentina y europea, y algunas veces llegan a filosofar sobre la cultura estadounidense también.
A Ricardo Piglia le llaman la atención en especial los intelectuales atados a una doble pertenencia, ligados a dos idiomas y a dos tradiciones. Esta dualidad lingüística y de tradiciones conlleva un estado de transición entre una tradición y otra, entre una lengua y otra y sobre todo, entre una manera de pensar y expresarse y otra.
Las conversaciones sobre temas intelectuales obtienen la importancia de ser cuestiones de vida y de muerte, tienen el valor de ser actos con consecuencias inmediatas en la vida de los personajes quienes a la vez con frecuencia son materializaciones literarias de intelectuales y/o personajes históricos reales. El pensar y el conversar son actos rebeldes y heroicos que equivalen a enfrentarse a los desafíos y las quimeras más profundas de la humanidad.
De esta manera se entreteje la ficción creada por el autor sobre los personajes con la ficción nacida de las conversaciones, las meditaciones, las lecturas, los sueños y las pesadillas de todos ellos y se forma un material literario elástico en el tiempo, en el espacio y en las ficciones yuxtapuestas de las tradiciones y de las herencias culturales.
Latina Humor in the Works of Sandra Cisneros
Authors: Tóth Zsófia Anna 
Published: October 2020

Abstract: The paper discusses three works written by Sandra Cisneros, namely Woman Hollering Creek, The House on Mango Street and Caramelo, from the point of view of women’s humor. With the help of these works, it is argued that Cisneros uses Latina humor in order to highlight intersectional problems concerning her identity and to reveal important facts and features about/of Latino/a existence. The point is made that Cisneros uses comedy and humor to redeem the pain and suffering through laughter instead of utilizing the tragic mode of artistic expression, hence she is able to secure survival and solutions to problems instead of a tragic wallowing in negativity (which interpretive way could also have validity concerning the occurrences which are narrated).
Keywords: Latina humor, Sandra Cisneros, Woman Hollering Creek, The House on Mango Street, Caramelo
Principios de no discriminación y ética del bien-común
Authors: Montes Montoya Angélica , Lago de Vergara Diana Elvira 
Published: October 2020

El presente articulo (con un enfoque disciplinario desde la filosofía y la teoría pedagógica) parte de la problemática ¿Cuáles son los aportes y los límites de las políticas publica de "lucha contra" la discriminación y/o de la "prevención" de la discriminación, en la construcción de sociedades más inclusivas? ¿Son suficientes las políticas de reconocimiento de minorías para construir y/o consolidar sociedades incluyentes? Para responder a estas preguntas iniciales se hace necesario, por un lado, explicar los contornos de las categorías discriminación y no-discriminación y, en segundo lugar, examinar la creencia en el hecho de que la educación en la conciencia de la discriminación y la aceptación de la diversidad, conducen necesariamente a prácticas de no discriminación.
Luego mostraremos, no ya desde un acercamiento político o pedagógico, sino desde lo ético (ética del bien común) en qué medida la no-discriminación debe ser observado y comprendido como un acto de acción cívica que redunda en beneficio del conjunto de la sociedad y no únicamente como un acto de reconocimiento de una minoría. La Ética del bien-común ganar en la construcción de prácticas de inclusión y sororidad de las diversidades. Pensar la no-discriminación desde un enfoque ético contribuye a la consolidación de los procesos pedagógicos de tratamiento de la diversidad, en marcha desde las políticas públicas de algunos Estados como el colombiano.

Abstract.Elections in Indonesia are considered the most democratic because they can elect legislative candidates directly. The candidate is clearly displayed in the photo. Because it can be seen directly by voters, legislative candidates need qualifications. These qualifications do not only rely on clever speech, handsome or beautiful, rich, popular, or have a large following. Qualifications of legislative candidates according to the view of fiqh siyasah include credibility and balance of the nature of shiddiq, amanah, tablig, fathonah, extensive knowledge which are knotted in basthothan fil ilmi wa al jismi, and have opinions the strong and wisdom wisdom. This open proportional system according to the view of fiqh siyasa was once carried out during the time of the Prophet Muhammad and al-Khulafaur Rasyidin in the election of ahlul halli wa al aqdi.Keywords: system, proportional, qualifications, siyasah Abstrak.Pemilihan Umum di Indonesia dinilai paling demokratis karena dapat memilih calon anggota legislatif secara langsung.

Published: October 2020

An 11-year-old girl with a congenitally malformed left hand, sickle cell trait, asthma, and history of appendicitis was transferred from Zambia for evaluation and treatment of widespread suppurative and ulcerative skin lesions that typically appeared after trauma to her skin. The ulcers first presented 3 years earlier but had markedly worsened in the 9 months before transfer, spreading circumferentially on her extremities and abdomen at the site of an appendectomy. They were painful and did not resolve with multiple courses of intravenous antibiotics and close management by a pediatric infectious disease specialist working for a nongovernmental organization (NGO) in her home country. Per NGO records, she had previously been average weight-for-age. On presentation after international transfer, she was severely malnourished, with lesions covering ∼35% of her body. In initial workup, leukocytosis of 21 × 103 cells per μL (79% neutrophils), hemoglobin of 6.1 g/dL, and mean corpuscular volume of 66 fL were found. Iron studies revealed an iron level of 18 μg/dL, ferritin level of 55 ng/mL, total iron binding capacity of 222 μg/dL, and transferrin saturation of 8%. Inflammatory markers were elevated, C-reactive protein was 20.1 mg/dL, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 131 mm/h. A chest computed tomography scan revealed bilateral pulmonary nodules, the largest in her left upper lobe measuring 2.4 × 2.0 × 1.9 cm. Our panel of experts reviews the evaluation and treatment of this patient with extensive suppurative and ulcerative skin lesions and the factors considered in offering charity care to international patients.

Authors: Makaricheva E V , Burguvan M S 
Published: October 2020

Aim. To study the psychological characteristics of women with primary dysmenorrhea.
Methods. We examined 77 women of childbearing age, divided into the main (40 women) and control (37 women) groups. The criterion for inclusion in the main group was a clinically confirmed diagnosis of primary dysmenorrhea with a regular menstrual cycle. The exclusion criteria were an organic gynecological pathology, a diagnosis of secondary dysmenorrhea and an irregular menstrual cycle. The criterion for inclusion in the control group was absolute painlessness of menstruation and the absence of gynecological diseases. The survey was conducted using psychodiagnostic techniques: a method for self-assessment of anxiety, rigidity, and extroversion; test Express diagnosis of the level of self-esteem; a technique for studying accentuation of personality traits; test-questionnaire of psychological defense mechanisms Life Style Index; questionnaire Methods of coping behavior, statistical methods. Also, a specially developed questionnaire was used, including questions related to socio-psychological parameters, as well as the nature and intensity of pain.
Results. Significant differences between the groups characterizing coping strategies were found: distance (p 0.002); escape-avoidance (p 0.029); psychological defenses: denial (p 0.006), regression (p 0.011). The subjects of the main group were characterized by significantly high anxiety levels (p 0.020) with the average score 47.21.15 corresponding to a hyperanxious and low self-esteem (p 0.001) with the average score 30.11.43 compared to women in the control group: 42.71.53 average anxiety level and 27.41.31 normal self-esteem.
Conclusion. The features of the relationship of the psychological characteristics of women with primary dysmenorrhea were revealed; it was proved that the subjects of the main and control groups differ in the features of coping behavior, psychological defenses and accentuation of personality traits, and also have reliably distinguishable levels of anxiety and self-esteem.
Molecular Gut-Content Analysis of Adult Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) Provides No Evidence of Predation of Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in a Nebraska Corn Agroecosystem
Authors: Oliveira-Hofman Camila , Victor Vinícius S. , Meinke Lance J. , Peterson Julie A. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This study was conducted to characterize the ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) community in Nebraska continuous cornfields and investigate the potential for predation of the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, a key root-feeding insect pest that is an annual management challenge in this system. Seven collection dates were conducted at five commercial cornfields in west central Nebraska during the growing season of 2014. In each field, carabids were sampled using five 24-h pitfall traps. Carabid specimens were placed in 95% ethanol in the field and stored at –20°C to preserve DNA. After identification to the species level, DNA was extracted and polymerase chain reaction was conducted for gut-content analysis using D. v. virgifera-specific primers. Data from single-plant emergence cages and yellow sticky cards showed high abundance of D. v. virgifera prey in three of the five fields sampled. Sixteen genera and 36 carabid species were found in pitfall traps. Of the total 235 carabid specimens tested in this study, zero tested positive for D. v. virgifera DNA. The lack of positive results for the presence of D. v. virgifera DNA in the gut-contents of carabids, despite abundant pest populations, indicates that, in this system, ground beetles may not be a strong mortality agent of D. v. virgifera. However, results presented here contribute to our knowledge of carabid diversity in agroecosystems and indicate that future D. v. virgifera biological control efforts in this region should focus on other natural enemies and/or other life stages of carabids, such as larvae.
Penicillin Impact on Survivorship, Development, and Adult Longevity of Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Published: October 2020

Abstract
Survivorship, developmental period, and adult longevity of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae), exposed to penicillin G, a beta-lactam antibiotic, was determined in laboratory testing. In the study, neonate larvae were placed and reared on dietary antibiotics at concentrations of 100, 200, 400, or 800 mg/L. All penicillin concentrations significantly decreased survivorship in an inverse relationship with third instars, pupae, and adults. Larvae fed on control diets of 0 mg/L of penicillin had a survival level of 91.00 ± 3.27% to third instar and pupation, and 89.00 ± 4.09% to adult emergence. Feeding on a diet containing the highest concentration of penicillin (800 mg/L) significantly decreased survivorship to third instar to 11.00 ± 2.59% (χ2 = 128.051; df = 1; P = 0.0001) and to pupation (χ2 = 131.233; df = 1; P = 0.0001) and adult emergence to approximately 10.00 ± 1.00% (χ2 = 124.832; df = 1; P = 0.0001). The highest concentration of dietary penicillin (800 mg/L) also significantly prolonged developmental time from neonate to third instars by 1.5 d (F = 17.229; df = 4; P = 0.0001) and from neonate to adult emergence by 3 d (F = 2.004; df = 4; P = 0.032). Compared to the control group, adult longevity was significantly reduced by the antibiotic in a dose-related manner. The use of this antibiotic in insect artificial rearing enables an extensive search of possible insecticidal action of penicillin with high dietary levels for agricultural purposes.
Occupational Exposure to Nickel in the Ceramic Workers: Biological Monitoring and Respiratory Outcomes
Authors: Kargar-Shouroki Fatemeh , Shahtaheri Seyed Jamaleddin , Barkhordari Abolfazl , Halvani Niloofar 
Published: October 2020

Background: Nickel (Ni) compounds such as nickel oxide are used as pigments in ceramic industries. The toxicity of nickel can occur in the glaze preparation processes. This study aimed to ascertain whether exposure to Ni dust is associated with pulmonary response.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 49 ceramic workers (exposed group) occupationally exposed to nickel dust, as well as 55 unexposed employees (referent group). Information about smoking habits, overtime work, length of employment, skin dermatitis, job title, use of respiratory protection equipment, ventilation system, age, and BMI index were collected through questionnaires. The parameters of pulmonary function were measured. Urine samples were taken from 49 workers at both pre- and post-shift (98 samples). The referent group was examined only once (55 samples). To determine the nickel, the samples were pre-concentrated by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) and analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
Results: Urinary Ni value in the exposed workers was significantly higher than that in the referent group. All pulmonary function parameters in the exposed group were significantly lower than those of the referent group (P<0.001). Those using respiratory protection equipment also exhibited a significantly lower urinary Ni concentration than those not using respiratory protection equipment.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that exposure to Ni in the ceramic industry is higher than the recommended biological exposure index and is associated with a significant decrement in the pulmonary function parameters.
Espaciamiento intercultural: la construcción del territorio simbólico y sus cartografías ético-estéticas como memoria visual de los procesos de pertenencia en Lima Metropolitana
Authors: Villavicencio Monti Karla 
Published: October 2020

En el presente artículo se intenta exponer las posibilidades de representación simbólica del territorio desde un enfoque interdisciplinario del arte y la arquitectura. De esta manera, se desarrolla una metodología que, aplicada a las problemáticas periféricas del territorio y a su reconstrucción, posibilite la visualización de un patrimonio cultural inmaterial, el cual será expresado en la producción de cartografías imaginarias. Estas cartografías simbolizan valores ético-estéticos mediante la representación de la memoria visual contenida en los procesos de pertenencia dados en la ciudad de Lima Metropolitana. ¿Cómo podríamos visibilizar los procesos de reconstrucción que realiza nuestra memoria en torno a los espacios donde vivimos y participamos? Nuestra propuesta es una metodología con base en tres fases del reconocimiento simbólico: la primera se inicia con una ruta personal de reordenamiento y reconstrucción de la propia identidad, a través del conocimiento topográfico del territorio; la segunda, con el desarrollo de bosquejos cartográficos que promuevan la visualización de la intersubjetividad contenida en los procesos de las problemáticas colectivas de la ciudad; y la tercera, con la identificación y visibilización del valor patrimonial contenido en los componentes ético-estéticos de la convivencia social. Esta metodología será explicada mediante el desarrollo de tres proyectos, dos de ellos son obras plásticas e instalativas individuales, «De Reducto 2 a la Portada de Maravillas. Hacia el descanso» y «Nuestra ruta de 50 años», mientras que el tercero es grupal: «CO[HABITAR]». Podemos reconocer que la visualización mediante la expresión cartográfica de las problemáticas colectivas de la ciudad, desde sus aspectos simbólicos, representa diversas posibilidades de reconocimiento de los acontecimientos vivenciados en el territorio. Esta visualización presenta diversas capas de comprensión, subjetiva e intersubjetiva, que se relacionan estrechamente con las experiencias culturales y sociopolíticas de sus participantes.
