CONFERENCIA DE APERTURA IV CONISE 2019 La investigación un acto político: Una experiencia desde las IUS
Authors: Mvillagomez  
Published: July 2020

La educación es o un acto político ya que con ella tomamos una postura frente a la realidad y en torno al tipo de sociedad que queremos construir; lo que queremos transformar y por donde hemos de transitar. Como acto político, la educación tiene siempre un carácter prospectivo, tiene un sentido utópico que nos provee de un horizonte hacia el cual hemos de caminar, es el sueño de la construcción de otra realidad posible. Para las Instituciones Salesianas de Educación Superior, nuestra opción es clara, por los y las jóvenes de clases trabajadoras y de sectores vulnerables. Estamos comprometidos en todo el mundo a acompañarlos para construir con ellos un futuro mejor. Entender qué es lo que debemos transformar en la educación, desde y con ella, nos exige comprender la realidad y para ello hemos de centrar nuestros esfuerzos, desde la academia en el ejercicio de la investigación social y educativa comprometida con los jóvenes y la construcción de un mundo mejor. La investigación educativa como tal, tiene siempre una intención pragmática, nos permite no solo comprender la realidad de los y las jóvenes (sujetos) a quienes educamos, sino que nos provee de los datos para interrogar nuestras prácticas y mejorarlas; para ofrecer alternativas, para agenciar mejores proyectos educativos y pedagógicos; para aprender de nuestras experiencias, pues como universidades salesianas, tenemos la exigencia de mirarnos, interpelarnos y esforzarnos por hacer de la educación un acto de amor y de vida.En esta lína, mostramos la experiencia y los resultados de la investigación "Mujer indígena y educació superior" que lleva adelante el Grupo de Investigación Educación e Interculturalidad de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana del Ecuador y, que tienen como objetivo central: analizar el papel de la IUS en el empoderamiento, autonomía y emancipación de las mujeres indígenas. Finalmente, centramos la reflexión en la potencialidad transformadora de la educación y de la investigación desde un compromiso ético-político con la construcción de una vida mejor para los y las jóvenes que se educan en las IUS.

Authors: FabianCabaluz FabianCabaluz 
Published: July 2020

El artículo que presentamos se organiza a partir de dos apartados: en el primero de ellos, se presentan cinco trazas históricas de la educación popular latinoamericana, a saber: las prácticas y discursos de educación emancipadora promovidos por Simón Rodríguez y José Martí durante el siglo XIX, las experiencias educativas y pedagógicas impulsadas por el naciente movimiento obrero y popular entre fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX, la experiencia de la Escuela Ayllu de Warisata en Bolivia durante la década de los treinta del siglo pasado, el surgimiento durante la década de los sesenta de la pedagogía de la liberación elaborada por Paulo Freire, y finalmente, las prácticas y discursos de educación popular desplegados contra las dictaduras cívico-militares en la región. Y en el segundo apartado, se retoman cuatro debates estratégicos de los cuales ha sido parte la educación popular latinoamericana en lo que va transcurrido del siglo XXI, el primero referido al problema de la soberanía nacional y popular, el segundo vinculado a las luchas por descolonizar el campo educativo y pedagógico, el tercero asociado a las articulaciones entre educación popular y feminismo en el marco de las luchas contra el patriarcado, y el cuarto concerniente a la relevancia de luchar desde la educación popular por la defensa y el robustecimiento de la educación pública.
Perbandingan Estimasi Metode Kuadrat Terkecil Terboboti dan Metode Transformasi Box-Cox Pada Data Heteroskedastisitas
Authors: Risma Risma , Sahriman Sitti 
Published: July 2020

Dalam mengestimasikan parameter regresi umumnya digunakan metode kuadrat terkecil. Metode ini memiliki beberapa asumsi yang perlu dipenuhi salah satunya yakni homoskedastisitas. Pelanggaran asumsi homoskedastisitas dapat menyebabkan model estimasi tidak efisien. Oleh karena itu jika terjadi pelanggaran homoskedastisitas maka metode kuadrat terkecil tidak dapat lagi digunakan,sehingga diperukan metode alternative. Metode untuk mengatasi pelanggaran homoskedatisitas dua diantaranya yakni metode kuadrat terkecil terboboti dan metode transformasi Box-Cox. Dalam penelitian ini akan dibandingkan metode kuadrat terkecil terboboti dan metode transformasi Box-Cox. Dari penerapan kedua metode tersebut didapatkan metode kuadrat terkecil terboboti memiliki RMSE (root mean square error) yang lebih kecil dan R2 yang lebih besar dibandingkan metode transformasi Box-Cox. Maka dapat disimpulkan metode kuadrat terkecil terboboti lebih bagus digunakan dalam menangani pelanggaran homoskedastisitas.

Published: July 2020

Regresi logistik merupakan model regresi yang sering digunakan dalam pemodelan data kategori, namun dalam menentukan modelnya terkadang tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan cara biasa dikarenakan variabel respon yang bersifat kategorikal mengikuti distribusi bernoulli. Sehingga dalam menentukan model diperlukan suatu estimasi parameter untuk mendapatkan informasi mengenai parameter populasi. Metode momen diperumum (Generalized method of moments/GMM) adalah salah satu metode estimasi parameter yang digunakan untuk mengeksploitasi informasi bentuk kondisi momen populasi yang merupakan perluasan dari metode momen. Dari penggunaan estimasi parameter GMM diperoleh bahwa dengan menggunakan kondisi momen yang sama dengan metode momen pada umumnya menghasilkan estimasi yang sama dengan metode momen ataupun dengan estimasi OLS. Dalam mengestimasi parameter regresi logistik pun diperlukan suatu algoritma untuk menyelesaikan bentuk nonlinear-nya, sehingga digunakan iterasi Reweighted least square yang pembobotnya berubah setiap pengiterasian.Kata Kunci: Regresi Logistik Biner, Metode Momen Diperumum, Iterasi Reweighted Least Square.Regresi logistik merupakan model regresi yang sering digunakan dalam pemodelan data kategori, namun dalam menentukan modelnya terkadang tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan cara biasa dikarenakan variabel respon yang bersifat kategorikal mengikuti distribusi bernoulli.

Authors: Kuriyagawa Tsunemoto , Mizutani Masayoshi 
Published: July 2020

The “process chain” concept for the integration of multiple manufacturing processes has been attracting attention in the field of manufacturing in recent years. In a number of specialized fields, laser-based processes in particular are actively being studied, as their high flexibility allows them to be used not only as individual manufacturing processes but also in combination to develop new ones.
Most of the practical laser technologies involve heat, which can be used for thermal processing to change surface properties or for removal processing. In recent years, lasers have also been used as a heat source for additive manufacturing, as well as ultra-short-pulsed lasers being applied to non-thermal processes.
This special issue features various studies and reports that present the latest advances as well as current challenges in laser-based/assisted manufacturing. It includes nine related papers that indicate the possibilities and future of new laser processing technologies.
We deeply appreciate all the authors and reviewers for their efforts and contributions, and we also hope this special issue will encourage further research on laser-based/assisted manufacturing.

Authors: Abdumutalib Azgarov , O’G’li, Alisher 
Published: July 2020

In these days, tourism is rapidly gaining more and more popularity in the world, this raises the problem of congestion in many popular tourist regions, while many other regions remain impassable, unknown and unpopular. The development of globalization has significantly expanded the world tourism market, the number of tourists, the variety and number of tourist products, the geography of travel destinations, the latest tourism technologies are developing, new travel companies are appearing. In this regard, in order to reduce the problem of congestion in relevant tourist regions, it becomes necessary to promote those territories that are unpopular and unrecognizable in our time and about which too little information has been collected. Also, there has a problem related to finance of tourists: In most cases, they cannot let themselves to go to places they want. A completely new, only contagious type of tourism can solve this problem – Photo-tourism, thanks to which tourists will be able to see the whole diversity of natural, cultural and historical tourist regions and places. The purpose of the article is to determine the relevance of the promotion of tourist areas using the type of tourism as photo-tourism. To investigate the types of photo-tourism, to define the concepts and methods of implementing the promotion of territories using photo-tourism. The article discusses the features of photo-tourism, identifies areas of its development and attractive events, festivals in the Samarkand, identifies the target audience, identifies environmental criteria for creating high-quality photos, and analyzes the photo-tourism market in Uzbekistan.
Tourist and Recreational Potential of the Territory: Analysis Methodology
Authors: Garifullina R.S , Safin F. M. 
Published: July 2020

The introduction of the term "potential" into the official turnover of tourism science promotes the methodology of research. Tourist - recreational potential of the territory in this case refers to the scientific category, the analysis of the content, whose structure is a necessary condition for understanding the essence of the tourist destination. All this actualizes the necessity of complex research of tourist - recreational potential of the territory. We believe that it is not only permissible, but it is quite necessary to use the concept "tourist - recreational potential of the territory", including in the regulatory documents, as it is the most complete, comprehensively allows to reveal problems and prospects of tourism development in the region. Firstly, the tourist and recreational potential, being different in content, is present at the territory simultaneously, accompanying each other, implemented in it, being of interest to the tourist. Secondly, there is no territory where there is a recreational potential, which cannot be supplemented with tourist potential, and vice versa. Third, the identification of tourist - recreational potential of the territory allows to develop an algorithm for its transformation into tourist-recreational resources, to determine the goals and objectives for the formation, promotion and implementation of the tourist product, tourist brand of the territory.
An Update on Staphylococcus aureus NorA Efflux Pump Inhibitors
Authors: Monteiro Kadja Luana Chagas , de Aquino Thiago Mendonça , Mendonça Junior Francisco Jaime B. 
Published: July 2020

Background:
Methicillin-resistant and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus are
pathogens causing severe infectious diseases that pose real public health threats problems worldwide. In
S. aureus, the most efficient multidrug-resistant system is the NorA efflux pump. For this reason, it is
critical to identify efflux pump inhibitors.

Objective:
In this paper, we present an update of the new natural and synthetic compounds that act as
modulators of antibiotic resistance through the inhibition of the S. aureus NorA efflux pump.

Results:
Several classes of compounds capable of restoring the antibiotic activity have been identified
against resistant-S. aureus strains, acting as NorA efflux pump inhibitors. The most promising classes of
compounds were quinolines, indoles, pyridines, phenols, and sulfur-containing heterocycles. However,
the substantial degree structural diversity of these compounds makes it difficult to establish good structure-
activity correlations that allow the design of compounds with more promising activities and properties.

Conclusion:
Despite substantial efforts put forth in the search for new antibiotic adjuvants that act as
efflux pump inhibitors, and despite several promising results, there are currently no efflux pump inhibitors
authorized for human or veterinary use, or in clinical trials. Unfortunately, it appears that infection
control strategies have remained the same since the discovery of penicillin, and that most efforts remain
focused on discovering new classes of antibiotics, rather than trying to prolong the life of available antibiotics,
and simultaneously fighting mechanisms of bacterial resistance.
Group A Streptococcal Infections in Children
Authors: Ahmed Molla Imaduddin , Saunders Rosalind V. , Bandi Srini 
Published: July 2020

Background:
Invasive group A streptococcal disease (iGAS) can have varied clinical
presentations in children, are responsible for prolonged hospital stays and can cause mortality and
long-term morbidity in children. Over the last decade, there has been an increase in the incidence of
iGAS infections in the UK and worldwide. This has renewed the focus on early diagnosis, management
and prevention of this disease.

Aim and Objective:
The aim of this study was to review the varied clinical presentations and
management of children with iGAS infections.

Methods:
We reviewed the data of children admitted to our tertiary Children’s Hospital who had
positive isolation of Group A Streptococcus( GAS) from sterile site cultures over the last 8 years.
We reviewed their clinical presentations and management including treatment given (antibiotics
and duration), outcome and follow up.

Results:
A total of 57 children had iGAS during the study period. The incidence of iGAS was 6-7
cases per year during the study period, except for 2015 when we had 11 cases. The mean length of
stay of children admitted with iGAS was 11 days (range 2– 35 days). 21.1% children were admitted
to intensive care during their hospital stay. Fever was the most common presenting symptom.
Pneumonia with or without empyema was the most common Diagnosis. Initial antibiotic management
was varied with ceftriaxone the most commonly used antibiotic in 30% of the cases. 50% of
children had their antimicrobial therapy optimised to IV benzylpenicillin after the confirmed isolation
of GAS. 7 Children were re-admitted for further treatment and needed a further course of antibiotics.
4 children (7%) died due to iGAS infection.

Conclusion:
Our study highlighted the varied symptomatology and management practices in children
with iGAS and showed that early diagnosis and prompt initiation of appropriate antibiotics for
iGAS can help in the resolution of symptoms and good outcomes.

Authors: Kotadiya Rajendra Muljibhai , Patel Foram Narottambhai 
Published: July 2020

Background:Rifampicin (RIF), also known as rifampin, a bactericidal antibiotic having
broad antibacterial activity against various gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria acts by inhibiting
DNA dependent RNA polymerase. RIF has been administered in different dosage forms like tablets,
capsules, injections, oral suspension, powder, etc. for the treatment of several types of bacterial infections,
including tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium complex, leprosy and Legionnaires’ disease.

Introduction: To ensure the quality, efficacy, safety and effectiveness of RIF drug product, effective
and reliable analytical methods are of utmost importance. To quantify RIF for quality control or pharmacokinetic
purposes, alternative analytical methods have been developed along with the official compendial
methods.

Methods:In this review paper, an extensive literature survey was conducted to gather information on
various analytical instrumental methods used so far for RIF.

Results:These methods were high-performance liquid chromatography (42%), hyphenated techniques
(18%), spectroscopy (15%), high-performance thin-layer chromatography or thin-layer chromatography
(7%) and miscellaneous (18%).

Conclusion:All these methods were selective and specific for the RIF analysis.
The Influence of Selank on the Level of Cytokines Under the Conditions of “Social” Stress
Authors: Leonidovna Yasenyavskaya A. , Aleksandrovna Samotrueva M. , Aleksandrovna Tsibizova A. , Aleksandrovna Bashkina O. , Fedorovich Myasoedov N. , Aleksandrovna Andreeva L. 
Published: July 2020

Background:
It was previously thought that inflammation and an immune response were
the only factors capable of causing IL-1β, IL-6 and other cytokine`s production. In recent years data
have appeared that stressful effects can also occupy an important place, enhancing production of IL-
1β, IL-6 and other cytokines; the result will be a change in the functional activity of a particular cell
element, for example immunocompetent cells with subsequent development of inflammation, or a
change in the functional activity of neurons. This experiment is aimed at studying the effect of the
Selank glyprolin neuropeptide drug on the level of cytokines in animals under conditions of “social”
stress, the results of which indicate the presence of stress-protective activity.

Methods:
White nonlinear rats were used as experimental animals. A model of confrontations between
males was chosen to create a “social” stress. The animals were in pairs in a cage which were
separated by a septum preventing physical contact but having openings that provide sensory contact.
Each day, the septum was removed for 10 minutes leading in an overwhelming majority to
agonistic collisions (confrontations). Laboratory animals were divided into 3 groups: a group of
intact males, a group of animals that were subjected to stress (sensory contact) for 20 days and a
group that received intraperitoneally Selank at a dose of 100 mcg/kg/day under conditions of 20-day
stress. The level of cytokines under study was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Results:
As a result of the work performed to determine the concentration of pro-inflammatory and
anti- inflammatory cytokines, it was found that in the serum of animals exposed to stress, there was
a statistically significant increase in the level of IL-1β, IL-6 and TGF-β1 in individuals with both
types of behavior. It should be noted that, under the conditions of this stressful impact, there was a
tendency to decrease the concentration of IL-4 and increase the level of TNF-α but these indicators
were not statistically significant. Evaluation of the effect of Semax on the level of the cytokines in a
stress-induced state showed that this neuropeptide causes a decrease in the concentration of IL-1β
and IL-6, restoration of the level of IL-4, as well as suppression of the production of TGF-β1 and
TNF-α in these conditions.

Conclusion:
This peptide is able to reduce the concentration of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, as well as
TGF-β1, practically reaching control values, when studying the effect of Selank on the level of cytokines
under conditions of " social" stress. There is the need for a detailed study of the role of
cytokines in the development of stress-induced changes in order to find optimal correction tools.

Authors: Kaur Satnam , Awasthi Lalit K. , Sangal Amrit L. 
Published: July 2020

Background:
Owing to the benefits of software refactoring, the software industry started
adopting this practice in the maintenance phase as a means to improve developer’s productivity and
software quality. As a result, proposing new techniques for refactoring opportunity identification
and sequencing has become the key area of interest for academicians and industry researchers.

Objective:
This paper aims to perform a review of such existing approaches which are related to
software refactoring opportunity identification and sequencing.

Methods:
We discussed the background concepts of code smells and refactoring and provided their
corresponding taxonomies. Moreover, comprehensive literature of several techniques that automatically
or semi-automatically identify or prioritize the refactoring opportunities is presented along
with considered refactoring activities, optimization algorithms, bad smells, datasets and underlying
evaluation approaches.

Results:
The research in the direction of refactoring opportunity identification and sequencing is
highly active and is generally performed by academic researchers. Most of the techniques address
Move Method and Extract Class refactoring activities in Java datasets.

Conclusions:
This paper highlights various open challenges that need further investigation, including
lack of dynamic analysis-based approaches, lesser utilization of industrial datasets, nonconsideration
of recent optimization algorithms, etc.
