Las citas bibliográficas en la evaluación de la actividad científica: significado, consecuencias y un marco conceptual alternativo
Authors: Crisci Jorge V. , Katinas Liliana 
Published: October 2020

Introducción y objetivos: En la evaluación de la actividad científica se aplican métricas basadas en el número de citas bibliográficas que reciben los artículos de una revista o los de un científico. Los objetivos de este trabajo son establecer el significado de una cita bibliográfica, discutir las consecuencias del uso de las métricas basadas en las citas bibliográficas como sinónimo de calidad científica incluyendo su efecto en el campo de la Botánica, y proponer un marco conceptual alternativo de evaluación de la actividad científica.
Resultados: Ciertos factores impiden sustentar estadísticamente a esas métricas: tamaño de la potencial audiencia, variación de las prácticas de publicación y de citación entre las distintas disciplinas, la distribución estadística “long tail” de las citas, revista e idioma de la publicación y que una regularidad estadística observada tenderá a colapsar una vez que se ponga presión sobre ella al utilizarla con propósitos de control. Las consecuencias del uso de las citas para evaluar son: inhibición de la creatividad, cosificación del logro científico, valorar al producto en función del número de consumidores, las revistas con mayor número de citas se transforman en un factor de poder, desvalorización de los temas con valor local o regional, la ciencia se industrializa, las métricas reemplazan al juicio, y generar citas bibliográficas forma parte de los objetivos de un artículo científico.
Conclusiones: El origen y la vigencia de estas métricas son la consecuencia de una sociedad de mercado es decir, una forma de vida organizada sobre la base del razonamiento y la moral del mercado y donde las relaciones humanas y sociales son meras relaciones de consumo.

Published: October 2020

Introduction: Cervical cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer affecting women globally. It is the fourth most common cancer in women and the seventh overall. Cervical cancer can be cured and prevented by regular pelviccheck-up, screening test and vaccination against human papilloma virus. The objective of this study was to find out awareness regarding cervical cancer among women aged 18-49 years residing in Bharatpur MetropolitanCity-5, Chitwan.
Methods: A community based descriptive cross-sectional research design was used, 186 women were selected using simple random sampling method. Structured interview schedule was used to collect the data within 2weeks. The collected data was entered in Epi data 3.1 and exported into IBM SPSS version 20. Data was analysed in terms of descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The study revealed that 72.6% of the women were >30 years and 93% of women were literate, among them 35.2% had completed secondary level of education. It was found that only 28.0% of women had good level of awareness and 43.5% of them had poor level of awareness regarding cervical cancer. There was statistically significant relationship between level of awareness with age (p=0.029), ethnicity (p=0.013), marital status (p=0.018) and heard about organism that causes cervical cancer (p=<0.001).
Conclusions: Based on the findings of the study, it is concluded that, almost half of the women have poor level of awareness regarding cervical cancer. Hence, there is need for community awareness program on cervical cancer, its screening and preventive measures through the medium of health personnel, friends and mass media.

Authors: Song Jin-Qi , Zhou Ya-Nan , Tu Gang-Liang , Xu Hui 
Published: October 2020

Background: In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) is increasing. Advanced PCa has a poor prognosis and high cost, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Therefore, how to improve the diagnosis rate and prognosis of early PCa is the focus of clinical research. This paper aims to investigate the value of P504s, 34βE12, Ki-67 and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa.
Objective: To investigate the expression of P504s, 34βE12, Ki67 and PSA in prostate tissues and their clinical significance.
Methods: Twenty four cases in the study group were selected from PCa confirmed by pathology in the urology department of Chengde Affiliated Hospital from October 2018 to August 2020, and 33 cases of Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) confirmed by pathology in the same period were selected as the control group. The expression of P504s, 34βE12 and Ki-67 in prostate tissues were determined by immunohistochemistry.
Results: The positive expression rates of P504s, 34βE12 and TPSA or F/TPSA in PCa patients were 95.8%, 12.5% and 87.5%, respectively. The positive rates in BPH patients were 9.1%, 93.9% and 27.3%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). PCa bone or lymph node metastasis was positively correlated with Ki-67 (r=0.423, p<0.05) and Gleason score (r=0.446, p<0.05), indicating a stronger correlation with Gleasonscore.
Conclusion: The combined detection of P504s, 34βE12 and PSA is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of PCa. High Gleason score and ki-67 expression may indicate high risk of PCa metastasis and poor prognosis.

Published: October 2020

Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Carteaud and Gougerot is a keratinization disorder with an infective aetiology. Patients present with hyperpigmented papules on the upper trunk and axillae that coalesce centrally and demonstrate reticulation peripherally. Diagnosis is based on clinical findings, characteristic histopathologic changes and response to therapy. We report a case of a young Nepali male who presented with gradual onset of asymptomatic raised dark brown lesions on his neck, trunk and axillae over the course of eight years. The condition was previously misdiagnosed as pityriasis versicolor and had received oral and topical antifungals. The diagnosis was revised to confluent and reticulated papillomatosis based on clinical and histopathological examination. He was subsequently started on oral minocycline 50 mg twice daily and nightly application of topical tretinoin 0.05% gel. There was complete resolution of all his lesions except for residual hyperpigmentation at the end of two months of therapy. There has been no relapse six months from the end of therapy. This is to our knowledge, the first case of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis reported from Nepal. Oral minocycline and topical tretinoin should be considered first line in the treatment of confluent and reticulated papillomatosis.

Published: October 2020

Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EDV) is a rare, inherited disorder that is characterized by an increased susceptibility to infection with specific human papilloma viruses (HPV) and a greater propensity for developing malignant skin tumors.
A 26 years old Nepalese male patient presented with complaints of multiple asymptomatic raised warty lesions on bilateral hands and multiple light colored flat to raised lesions present over the neck, trunk, bilateral extremities sparing the face and genitals.A skin biopsy was performed which revealed hyperkeratosis, focal parakeratosis, acanthosis, keratinocytes were swollen and irregularly shaped, had abundant basophilic cytoplasm and contained numerous round basophilic keratohyaline granules. Nuclei were large, round and empty with marginal distribution of chromatin, some were pyknotic.
Epidermodysplasiaverruciformis is a rare inherited disorder spread by HPV. It is characterized by hypopigmented or hyperpigmented macular lesions, pityriasis versicolor-like lesions and an early tendency to develop skin malignancies. The management of EDV includes early diagnosis, sun protection, life-long observation for the malignant transformation and therapeutic modalities like acitretin, imiquimod, topical retinoids, cryotherapy, etc.

Authors: Kaptanoglu Mustafa , Odabasi Akin 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this study, the usability of a new submerged arc welding flux was investigated to develop the surface properties of Hardox steels. In the hardfacing welding processes for Hardox 400 steel, four welding speeds resulting in varied heat inputs were applied. Through an analysis of the chemical composition, microstructure examinations, hardness measurements and wear tests, the possibility of hardfacing properties control due to the change of process parameters were determined. In the experimental studies, the hardness of the hardfacing obtained at a welding speed of 30 cm × min-1 was measured as 42 HRC while the hardness of the hardfacing obtained at a welding speed of 48 cm × min-1 was measured as 57 HRC. Moreover, in the wear tests, results consistent with the hardness values were obtained. It was understood in the light of the results that the use of high carbon ferro-chromium 20 wt.-% in a submerged arc welding flux mixture may be useful in improving hardness and wear properties of Hardox steels through hardfacing welding processes.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
This study investigated the performance of the grinding parameters used in the cylindrical grinding process of AISI 5140 steel and identified optimum grinding conditions via the Taguchi optimization method. Experiments were carried out via the L18 orthogonal array. Control factors for optimum surface roughness (Ra) values were determined by using the Taguchi method. Two different grinding wheels (SiC and Al2O3), three different cryogenic samples (CHT, DCTT-15 and DCTT-30) and depth of cuts (100, 200 and 300 μm) were selected as control factors. The cylindrical grinding test results showed that optimal Ra values were obtained on specimens cryogenically treated for 30 h (DCTT-30). Linear and quadratic regression analyses were conducted for the experimental results. The correlation coefficients (R2) were found to be 0.957 and 0.993 with linear and quadratic regression models, respectively. Finally, confirmation tests were performed and showed that the optimization had been successfully implemented.

Authors: Lothongkum Anchaleeporn Waritswat , Tipves Kanrayaphus , Lothongkum Gobboon 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The effects of H2O2 solution addition and temperature on electrolytic pickling via Na2SO4 solution to eliminate the metal oxide layers of an annealed 304L stainless steel were investigated by polarization technique. The experimental conditions involved a pure 190 kg × m-3 Na2SO4 solution and a mixture of 190 kg × m-3 Na2SO4+ 10 kg × m-3 H2O2at 298, 318 and 333 K and pH 4. It was found that the addition of a 10 kg × m-3 H2O2 solution in 190 kg × m-3 Na2SO4 solution and an increase in temperature resulted in a decrease in the passive region of the polarization curves. The results from the SEM images, the XRD patterns and root-meansquare roughness showed that the surface of the annealed 304L stainless steel was smoother and fewer remaining oxide scales was found when pickling in 190 kg × m-3 Na2SO4 + 10 kg × m-3 H2O2 solution. However, no effects of the addition of 10 kg × m-3 H2O2 solution in 190 kg × m-3 Na2SO4 solution and temperature on pickling time at 298, 318 and 333 K were observed.

Delta Flower Beetle Trigonopeltastes delta (Forster 1771) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae : Cetoniinae : Tribe, Trichiini)
Authors: Jones Brandon , Lucky Andrea 
Published: October 2020

The delta flower beetle, Trigonopeltastes delta (Forster), is a member of the scarab beetle family Scarabaeidae, in the subfamily Cetoniinae. This subfamily is commonly known as flower or fruit chafers because their diet consists mostly of decomposing fruits or pollen (Cave and Ratcliffe 2008). Trigonopeltastes delta belongs to the tribe Trichiini, which contains mostly flower-frequenting species. Although this species is commonly encountered where it occurs, many details of its life cycle and its potential economic importance remain poorly studied. Like many other cetoniines, the delta flower beetle has bright colors and distinctive patterns that distinguish it from other similar species.

Endophytic Bacterial Consortia as Biological Control of Bacterial Leaf Blight and Plant Growth Promoter of Rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Authors: Resti Zurai , Liswarni Yenny , Martinius Martinius 
Published: October 2020

The consortia of endophytic bacteria with various mechanisms (competition, antibiotics, induction of resistance, and others), simultaneously, are more effective in controlling pathogens and increasing plant growth. The purpose of this study was to obtain endophytic bacterial consortia capable of suppressing of bacterial leaf blight and promoting the growth of rice plants. The study consisted of three experimental stages. The first stage was the test on the antibiosis ability of the endophytic bacterial consortia to suppress of pathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) using the Kirby Bauer method. The second stage was the test on the ability of endophytic bacterial consortia to promote the growth of rice seedlings. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consisted of six combinations of endophytic bacterial consortia and 15 replications within each combination. The endophytic bacterial consortia were introduced by soaking the seeds, and the observations were made on the plant height, number of leaves, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight of rice seedlings. Meanwhile, the third stage was the test on the ability of endophytic bacterial consortia to suppress of bacterial leaf blight (BLB) diseases and to promote the rice plant growth. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six combinations of endophytic bacterial consortia and five replications within each combination. The endophytic bacterial consortia were introduced by soaking the roots of the seedlings. The observations were made on the incidence of disease, disease severity, number of leaves, plant height, and number of tillers. The results showed that all endophytic bacterial consortia had antibiosis abilities. The best endophytic bacterial consortia for controlling bacterial leaf blight and promoting the growth of rice seedlings and plants were the C (Bacillus sp SJI; Bacillus sp HI) and D (Bacillus sp SJI; S.marcescens isolate JB1E3) consortia.
Carbon Sequestration in Agroforestry Systems between Conservation Agriculture and Conventional Practice in The Asal Area of Machakos County, Kenya

Published: October 2020

Dryland ecosystems have always been prone to relatively high vegetation and general environmental degradation; translating to changes in soil physical and chemical properties and massive carbon losses. Despite their vast surface area, Carbon sequestration therein still remains low. However, this low carbon means they are less saturated and therefore a tremendous potential therein to sequester more Carbon. Conservation agriculture with trees (CAWT) presents an opportunity to reduce the degradation and enhance the carbon stocks. This study was set to compare the biomass productivity and carbon sequestration potential of agroforestry between conventional and conservation agriculture practice. The study was carried out as part of ongoing experimentation established in short rain (SR) season of 2012 by the World Agroforestry Centre in a trial site at the Agricultural Training Centre (ATC) in Machakos county, Kenya. The trials adopted a split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design with two farming systems (conventional and conservation agriculture) as the main blocks, 7 treatments and three replicates, summing to a total of 42 plots. In the fields, two shrub species (Calliandra calothyrsus Meissn. and Gliricidia sepium Jacq.) were planted in three different spacing (1.5x1 m, 3x1 m, 4.5x1 m) for maize-legume intercrops. Trees were harvested by coppicing, weighed and leaf/twig samples taken for determination of biomass, which was then converted to Carbon using a conversion factor 0.5. The data was statistically analyzed using ANOVA and means separated using LSD at p <0.05. Results showed significant increase in carbon sequestration under conservation agriculture (p <0.001), with a yearly sequestration potential of between 12.8 and 24 Mg C/ha/yr compared to 11.6-23 Mg C/ha/yr for conventional practice. Calliandra also sequestered more carbon than Gliricidia. CAWT is therefore concluded to be a feasible way of increasing carbon stocks in the drylands.
Hegel and the mathematics community: a left-side history
Authors: Baldino Roberto Ribeiro 
Published: October 2020

Abstract: Starting from a proof of the fundamental theorem of calculus accessible to K-12 students, we apply Hegel’s Science of Logic to Barrow’s theorem. This article may also be considered as an introduction to speculative philosophy, adequate for mathematics educators. We focus on the subsection Barrier and Ought, where Hegel twists Kant’s aphorism you can because you ought and obtains a precept of action aimed at infirming conservative political positions. We direct Hegel’s Ought to criticize the pedagogical conservatism of the twentieth century mathematics (M20) community and its consequences to mathematics education. From the development of the article we elicit the concept of speculative mathematics as a political agenda for mathematics education.

Kvinnoidentitet och missbruksbehandling
Authors: Trulsson Karin 
Published: October 2020

Sedan början av 1900-talet har det i Sverige funnits institutionsbehandling för missbrukande kvinnor. Denna har haft olika skepnader. Alkoholistanstalten för tvångsvård av kvinnor ersattes under slutet av 1960-talet av främst frivillig behandling tillsammans med män i terapeutiska samhällen. En återgång till ren kvinnobehandling både i i frivilligvård och tvångsvård skedde under 1980-talet, efter att forskare funnit hur kvinnorna var osynliga och kom i skymundan av männen i vården. I artikeln berörs möjligheter att synliggöra och möta kvinnors behov av missbruksbehandling i ett terapeutiskt samhälle, som utvecklats utifrån ett genusperspektiv.
