Authors: Gomez Jordan Santiago , Parra Paola Andrea , Duarte Vanessa , Giraldo Angie Cristina , Miranda Rafael 
Published: November 2020

Introducción: La satisfacción es clave en la vida estudiantil y se afecta por factores y experiencias positivas o negativas; sin embargo, no hay información sobre la satisfacción para estudiantes de medicina colombianos. El objetivo fue medir el grado de satisfacción en estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad El Bosque, caracterizarlos socio demográficamente y relacionar la satisfacción con variables.
Métodos: Estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal, aplicando la Escala de Satisfacción Vital Multidimensional de los Estudiantes (MSSLS) y determinando 10 variables. Se encuestó a 404 estudiantes de tercero a décimo semestre, de 18 a 28 años en octubre 2018. Mediante IBM-SPSS Statistics se determinaron desviaciones estándar y establecieron relaciones y asociaciones con respectivas pruebas de significancia.
Resultados: La mayoría de la población está satisfecha (84,7%). La satisfacción es directamente proporcional al promedio ponderado (p= 0,00. 95% de IC: -0,282 a -0,086), inversamente proporcional al tiempo de movilización de la casa a el sitio de rotación (p= 0,00. 95% de IC: 29,48 a 57,01) y del sitio de rotación a la casa (p= 0,00, 95% de IC: 14,99 a 50,95). Tercer semestre es donde hay más estudiantes satisfechos (p=0,036), mientras que sexto semestre es donde hay más insatisfechos (p=0,000), y aquellos rotando en Chía (p= 0,009) y Soacha (p= 0,000) son más insatisfechos.
Conclusiones: El grado de satisfacción global se ve afectado por el promedio ponderado, los tiempos de movilización, el semestre y el sitio de rotación, por lo cual sugiere investigar e intervenir en estos factores determinantes.

A Study of Language Learning Strategy Use among Indonesian EFL University Students
Authors: Rianto Agus 
Published: November 2020

This study investigated the use of language learning strategies among 329 Indonesian undergraduate students in their English as foreign language learning. The Strategy Inventory for Language Learning (SILL) Version 7.0 for ESL/EFL learners developed by Oxford was employed to measure the students’ EFL learning strategies based on gender, study program, and English proficiency differences. A descriptive analysis and an independent t-test were used to analyze the collected data. The findings showed that the female, the social science, and the higher English proficiency students used overall language learning strategies more frequently in their EFL learning. Metacognitive was the strategy category most used by the students and compensation was the least used one. The memory, cognitive, metacognitive, affective, and social strategy categories were used at a high level and the compensation strategy category, at a moderate level. Although there were significant differences in the use of overall strategy and strategy categories between males and females and between social science and science students, no significant differences were found in use between students with lower and higher English proficiency. The findings had several practical implications in the process of EFL learning, especially in the higher education context.

Published: November 2020

Teaching writing to Informatics Engineering students has its uniqueness when it comes to what specific issue(s) the students are facing and how to cope with them. This study aims at finding out some feedback for the author’s previous teaching practices in writing a descriptive text which becomes the basis to give an exact intervention as well as to find out whether the intervention is able to improve the students’ skills in writing a descriptive text. This is exploratory action research to the 30 students of the third semester in the Informatics Engineering study program of a private university in Indonesia. To gain feedback on the previous instructional practices, a senior colleague is invited as a consultant and an open-ended questionnaire was distributed to the students. Some issues were found. After a deep discussion with the senior colleague, it is concluded that project-based activities could cope with the issues. To prove it, a writing test and open-ended interview were conducted. During the instructional practices, a collaborator was invited to observe using an observation sheet. The result revealed that project-based activities engaged the students and directed them in accomplishing the task. The test also showed improvement in students’ average scores. These findings proved that implementing project-based activities can improve the students’ skills in writing a descriptive text.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: One of the fractal analysis methods to examine the structure of a texture is fractal dimension (F.D.) measurement. F.D is a quantitative method to show the complexity of a structure using a number. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different exposure conditions, voltages and angle of x-ray tube on F.D. values of mandibular bone.
Methods: This lab-trial analytical research was conducted on ten healthy, non-fracturing human mandibles. Periapical digital images were obtained by the Peri-Apical Focus (Planmeca, Finland) with a constant time of 0.2 seconds and changes in exposure conditions and angle of the tube. Periapical radiographs were obtained with 2 kV voltages of 60, 70, with2 mA of 400, 500, and 3 tube angles of -5, 0, +5 degrees. Data was analyzed by SPSS version 16 software and Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, mann whitney test‌and ANOVA test.
Results: No significant difference was observed in fractal mean values between 60 and 70 kVp and among 5-, 0, 5+ degrees in all 10 mandibles.There was a significant difference between the 400 and 500 mA just in one case (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: Considering the incompatibility of the amount of calculated fractal dimension from kVp, mA and tube angle, this method can be used as a useful tool in dentistry to examine the structure of spongy bone and its changes in various pathological conditions. Then, standardize the periapical imaging technique to compare it is not necessary.

Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental interventional study with a pre-test-post-test design with the control group. In this study, two schools were randomly selected and 40 students from each school were selected as a sample. Group discussion sessions with the mothers participated in a circular manner were held during 4 sessions for each intervention group once a week for 40 minutes for a month. In this study, the standard questionnaire of Alizadeh Cherandabi et al (2014) was used to measure the knowledge and performance of the students. T-test was used to compare the mean scores of variables before and after the intervention. All statistical operations were performed by SPSS Version 16 software and the significance level was considered P <0.05.
Results: The results of independent t-test showed that before the intervention, the mean scores of knowledge and practice about puberty health were not significantly different between the two groups (P> 0.05). The intervention was significantly higher than the control group (P <0.05).
Conclusion: The analysis of the findings of this study confirmed the effectiveness of education through group discussion in promoting the knowledge and practice of adolescent girls about physical puberty health. Therefore, officials, health educators and school counselors are advised to hold regular training sessions as a group discussion for mothers of teenage girls
The diagnostic and prognostic value of serological markers of inflammatory bowel diseases (a literature review)
Authors: Kuznetsova D. А. , Lapin S. V. , Shchukina O. B. 
Published: November 2020

The diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is based on a combination of clinical, endoscopic, histological, radiological and laboratory methods. However, conventional diagnostic methods are not always sufficiently informative in IBD, especially in the case of unclassified colitis, which necessitates the extension of standard diagnostic approaches. Currently, there is an actively search for non-invasive serological markers for early and differential diagnosis of IBD and for the assessment of activity and prognosis of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Among the most interesting serological markers are anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA), anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), goblet cells antibodies (GAB) and pancreatic autoantibodies (PAB). The aim of this review is to assess the diagnostic and prognostic significance of ASCA, ANCA, GAB, PAB in CD and UC. The paper presents the summary of the data on the role of ASCA, ANCA, GAB and PAB in abnormalities of the immunological tolerance mechanisms to intestinal microflora and intestinal permeability in IBD. We discuss the results of the studies on the associations of ASCA with a complicated CD phenotype, its response to genetically engineered biological therapies, and the need for surgical intervention. The article describes the data on the association of ANCA to the risk of progression of left-sided UC to widespread (total) colon lesions resistant to hormonal therapy, and that of antibodies to DNA-lactoferrin complexes and proteinase 3 to primary sclerosing cholangitis. It has been noted that PAB may be a prognostic marker for ileocolitis, perianal lesions, extraintestinal manifestations and complicated CD, and GAB a predictor of total UC with chronic persistent course. It should be emphasized that combined determination of ASCA, ANCA, GAB and PAB is highly informative, compared to the isolated detection of autoantibodies, for the differential diagnosis and prognosis of CD and UC.
La experiencia de habitar el interior doméstico como forma de repensar la torre de apartamentos
Authors: Otárola-Mora Mauricio , Castro-Chacón Esteban 
Published: December 2020

Como consecuencia al aumento de población en los centro urbanos, una nueva tipología de edificio ha tenido un mayor impacto en el paisaje urbano, la torre de apartamentos. Esta tipología cambia las dinámicas de socialización entre vecinos y elimina la condición barrial al ser objetos arquitectónicos separados de la ciudad. Debido a intereses económicos, estos desarrollos han reducido al máximo los espacios habitacionales, ofreciendo unidades entre 30 y 70 m2 sin acceso a una correcta iluminación y ventilación natural o espacios exteriores como balcones o patios. La calidad de vida de los habitantes se ve altamente deteriorada debido a estos formatos de alta densidad habitacional, afectando estados de ánimo y relaciones interpersonales.
Este artículo analiza el desarrollo de esta tipología, dando una perspectiva histórica y social de sus inicios como parte de la arquitectura moderna y su potencialidad futura en el contexto actual. El objetivo del estudio consiste en brindar alternativas tanto arquitectónicas como de gestión y organización social que permitan un desarrollo inmobiliario que tribute a una mejor sociabilidad en la ciudad y una mejor calidad de vida para sus habitantes. Haciendo énfasis a la relación simbiótica entre la pequeña escala del edificio de vivienda e interior doméstico y la ciudad como construcción colectiva.
El análisis urbano como una estrategia para la identificación de trayectos y conjuntos con valor patrimonial en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica
Authors: Malavassi-Aguilar Rosa Elena 
Published: December 2020

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo desarrollar una estrategia para el conocimiento del patrimonio urbano y arquitectónico en la ciudad de San José, Costa Rica. Con la aplicación del análisis urbano, que toma como referencia las propuestas de los arquitectos italianos Gianfranco Caniggia y Gian Luigi Maffei, se identifican trayectos y conjuntos con valor patrimonial que incluyen aspectos históricos y los imaginarios ciudadanos. La motivación para el desarrollo de esta propuesta es la búsqueda de una figura de protección alternativa al Centro Histórico, de forma que se logre la conservación del patrimonio desde un enfoque integral.
Las fuentes primarias para el desarrollo de este análisis son los mapas y planos que se encuentran en el Archivo Nacional de Costa Rica, que comprenden el período 1841-1982, y las fotografías aéreas de la ciudad de San José del periodo 1945-1998 facilitadas por el Instituto Geográfico Nacional. Con los insumos se construye una cartografía con el uso de un sistema de información geográfica.
Este trabajo se ubica en la línea de análisis del urbanismo y la arquitectura desarrollada por autores latinoamericanos como Marina Waisman, en los que se propone el desarrollo de herramientas propias para el estudio de los bienes patrimoniales locales, de forma que se comprendan las características del contexto. El desarrollo de una herramienta como la propuesta sería de utilidad para los entes encargados de la protección del patrimonio y para las municipalidades en su tarea de gestionar los planes reguladores, en los que deben incluirse las zonas de protección.
Cultural Integration of Inter-State Migrants in Asansol, West Bengal
Authors: Singh Mukesh , Siddique Giyasuddin 
Published: November 2020

Migration brings about changes in the cultural traits of both migrants and the receiving society. This becomes even more crucial, especially for India, which is characterised by rich cultural diversity and substantial inter-state migration. Cultural integration is the strategy of cultural exchange wherein one community incorporates changes without sacrificing its own culture and thus, pave the way for a more stable and harmonious society. Migration in Asansol dates back to the early 19th Century when the newly set up coal mining and the subsequent industrial development generated the demand for labour. Migrants brought with them a distinct culture which had to be reconstructed in the new cultural setup. This study is an attempt to understand the phenomena of cultural and psychological integration of the migrants in Asansol. A descriptive method has been employed to comprehend the migrants’ adaptation and the consequent socio-cultural changes. A sample of 370 individuals has been taken to explore the migrant’s outlook toward integration with the larger society. Emphasis has been laid upon the way the migrants reconstruct themselves, appraise their perception, and adopt the dominant cultural traits. The study reveals that the migrants have immensely influenced the culture of the region under investigation.
Homogeneity within Heterogeneity: Insights from the Culture of West Kameng of Arunachal Pradesh
Authors: Nayak Prasanta Kumar 
Published: November 2020

As the world moves faster towards a homogenised culture, the logic of keeping heterogeneous properties of culture seems asynchronous. The liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation (LPG) model of growth and development of states throw challenges to the indigenous cultures and traditions for a state like India where diverse traditional moorings, cultural systems, religious practices, and ethnic variations stand core to its integrity. In the rat-race for development, indigenous cultures and traditions of a state are enmeshed within ‘accept the global go and lose insularity’ or ‘decline it to stay homogeneous’. In a homogeneous societal culture, the underlying values and beliefs are squarely believed, shared, and practised compared to many different values and beliefs professed by diverse population groups in the case of a heterogeneous one.
Arunachal Pradesh with twenty-six major tribes and numerous sub-tribes at its credit stands incredible for its ethnicity, tribal indigenous identities, and cultural homogeneity. As is the number, so is the variation with indigeneity and nuances of culture practised by the tribes. The cultural diversity of the people differs from tribe to tribe even if they reside within the same geographical area. The district West Kameng is abode to six different tribes—Akas, Buguns, Mijis, Monpas, Sajalongs, and Sherdukpens living in close proximity with each other. However, their traditional culture with regards to their religious practices, dress, customs, rituals, languages, dialects, fairs, and festivals is starkly heterogeneous. Most remarkable is the criterion that heterogeneity hardly aberrates homogeneity within themselves. The focus of the present study is to highlight such a homogeneity-heterogeneity aspect of the culture of West Kameng.
Dairy antioxidant system
Authors: Dobriyan E. I. 
Published: November 2020

A review of dairy antioxidants was done based on local and international sources. Oxidative processes of fat are the main cause of chemical spoilage of milk and dairy products. Lipid oxidation is associated mainly with the amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the shells of fat globules and plasma phospholipids, as well as with the amount of free fat. The products of oxidative reactions at different stages of lipid oxidation with atmospheric oxygen are fatty acid hydroperoxides, peroxides, aldehydes, ketones, hydroxy acidswhich not only worsen the organoleptic characteristics of milk, but some of them are toxic substances. The antioxidant ability of milk is due to vitamins A, C, E, carotenoids, enzymes, lactoferin, sulfur-containing amino acids. One of the most powerful natural antioxidants is ascorbic acid, which is able to absorb superoxide anion radicals, alkoxyl radicals, superoxide, iron oxide, nitric oxide. Group E vitaminsare described, being the primary fat-soluble antioxidants. Among this group of substances, the most biologically active form is ?-tocopherol. The contribution of carotenoids to antioxidant protection has been determined. Beta carotene is considered as a preventive antioxidant, as it can block singlet oxygen which ishighly toxic. The mechanisms of antioxidant action of various enzymes are disclosed. Xanthioxidase has been shown to oxidize various aldigides and purine bases to the corresponding acids. Lactoperoxidase catalyzes the oxidation of thiocyanate with hydrogen peroxide to form thiociagen. Catalase oxidizes hydrogen peroxide to form water and molecular oxygen. Glutathione peroxidase is capable of rapidly removing hydrogen peroxide and other peroxides. The mechanism of the antioxidant action of lactoferrin is described which is based on iron the chelation by it. The functions of sulfur-containing amino acids due to the binding of free radicals are disclosed. Determining the total antioxidant activity can be a biomarker of its biological value, which will allow to choose the most perspective areas of milk processing..
Improving the system of economic security of the road freight transport organization
Authors: Gorkovenko E. V. , Platonova I. V. 
Published: November 2020

The business environment in which russian organizations operate is complex due to the intense competition between business partners. In such conditions, organizations are forced to adapt to the imperfections of the legal framework, search for qualified personnel, solve issues related to the physical and moral deterioration of fixed assets, lack of current assets and cash, imperfect tax policy, insolvency of business partners, etc.to ensure their own economic security. Economic security is considered at two levels: at the macro level, that is, as the security of the state, and at the micro level – as the security of the organization. In this study, we will understand the economic security of an organization as a condition in which it is protected from external and internal threats, as well as aimed at obtaining a stable income in an uninterrupted operation and using all the resources available to it. Economic security can be characterized not only by qualitative, but also quantitative indicators. The most significant quantitative indicator is the level of economic security, which is an assessment of the state of use of the organization's resources according to certain criteria. Economic security management is a complex mechanism on which the well-being of an organization depends. In turn, to implement such a mechanism, it is necessary to create a system for managing the organization's economic security. At the same time, the organization's economic security management system consists of a set of organizational and managerial, regime, technical, preventive and propaganda measures aimed at protecting the organization's interests and property from both external and internal threats. In many cases, enterprises create their own security system to manage and ensure economic security of their financial and economic activities. However, it should be taken into account that it is impossible to create a universal system of economic security suitable for any organization, since each organization is unique, with its own characteristics of work, capabilities, potential and is focused on a specific market segment.
