Published: December 2021

En Chile, se observa un cambio sociodemográfico relevante como consecuencia del proceso de envejecimiento acelerado de la población, lo que ha incidido en la disminución de las tasas de natalidad y al aumento en la esperanza de vida. Además, la pandemia provocada por el virus SARS-CoV-2 ha generado diversas problemáticas para las personas durante los periodos prolongados de confinamiento. Esta investigación tuvo como proposito comprender e interpretar el potencial generativo desplegado por personas mayores no institucionalizadas que residen en Temuco (Chile) y que participan activamente en organizaciones socio-comunitarias, develando las implicaciones de estas actividades para su calidad de vida en contexto de pandemia. Metodológicamente, la investigación se construyó desde el paradigma cualitativo, siguiendo un diseño descriptivo, no experimental transversal. Se utilizó una muestra no probabilítica, de tipo intencional conformada por 8 personas mayores autovalentes, que participan regularmente en organizaciones sociales, comunitarias y/o políticas. Para la recolección de los datos, se utilizaron entrevistas en profundidad desde la perspectiva narrativa (Sandoval-Obando, 2019). Para el análisis de contenido se siguió la lógica de la teoría fundamentada (Strauss y Corbin, 2002). Los resultados evidencian que los participantes han desplegado acciones potencialmente generativas que le han permitido enfrentar de manera funcional y propositiva la pandemia, potenciando un sentido de vida que fortalece el deseo de mantenerse activos en la esfera social y comunitaria. Finalmente, dicho potencial generativo devela una alta capacidad para reinventarse ante los desafíos y obstáculos suscitados durante la pandemia.

La flotación es una técnica de limpieza de minerales sumamente importante, ya que se ha utilizado durante más de un siglo en la industria minera, para separar materiales valiosos de los no valiosos. Sin reactivos, no habría flotación, y sin el proceso de flotación, la minería tal como la conocemos hoy día, no existiría. Los reactivos de flotación promueven, intensifican y modifican las condiciones óptimas del mecanismo fisicoquímico de los minerales de flotación y pueden ser sustancias orgánicas e inorgánicas. La presente investigación surgió por la necesidad de reusar el xantato isopropílico de sodio que se desecha del proceso de flotación y adsorberlo en la superficie de un carbón de la región como es el carbón sub-bituminoso. Con el propósito de cuantificar la adsorción y desorción de xantato isopropílico de sodio (z-11) en la superficie del carbón, se analizaron las muestras por medio de diferentes técnicas de caracterización, XPS, Espectroscopia Raman y UV-Vis. En caracterizaciones por espectroscopia fotoelectronica de rayos x, se encontraron los principales grupos funcionales del carbón que interactúan con el xantato proveniente de las flotaciones. Estos fueron en su mayoría grupos carbonil y carboxil.
ROLE OF MANUAL THERAPY AND MASSAGE IN THE TREATMENT OF FIBROMYALGIA: TESTING THE HYPOTHESIS

Published: December 2021

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic rheumatic disease in which pain is predominant and accompanied by fatigue, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance and cognitive dysfunction. Although there are numerous pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic alternatives, symptom control is frequently problematic. Manual therapy covers manipulating soft tissue and various joints using the hands. It is organized by mapping of soft tissue structures with rhythmically applied pressure to improve physical function, facilitate daily activities, promote rehabilitation procedures and decrease pain. Massage is generally accepted as an essential component of manual therapy. Stretching and mobilizations are also part of manual therapy. Although numerous beneficial effects of manual therapy and massage on the musculoskeletal system and pain have been proven, the data in FMS patients studies are inconclusive. We hypothesize that manual therapy and massage are beneficial therapeutic options for the control of symptoms of FMS patients. Furthermore, these strategies can be employed in conjunction with well-established and high-evidence therapeutic procedures. Future research should focus on establishing standardized protocols for manual therapy and massage, which is one of the major limitations. To ensure a high level of evidence, research studies with large sample sizes, long follow-up periods and methodologically complete are needed.

Authors: Koçyiğit Burhan Fatih , Akyol Ahmet 
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Publons is the most prestigious and well-organized platform that allows to evaluate peer review metrics. It also provides publication and citation data as it is synchronized with the Web of Science. There are socio-cultural ties between Central Asian countries and Turkey, and these countries can take Turkey as a model for scientific development. Therefore, it will be useful for Central Asian countries to summarize Turkey's Publons activities. In this study, we used Publons database to list the top institutions, researchers and reviewers in Turkey. Methods: Publons database was used to export the data on October 10, 2021. The top 20 researchers were identified in terms of the number of verified reviews. Additionally, the top 20 institutions were determined in terms of the number of researchers, number of verified reviews and top reviewers. Results: On Publons, 57464 registered researchers from Turkey were found (ranked 7th) and 484 of these researchers had top reviewer status (ranked 16th). A total of 175644 verified reviews were detected from Turkey-based researchers (ranked 16th) and of which 45835 were performed in the last 12 months (ranked 14th). Based on the total number of researchers, four institutions from Turkey were in the top 100 in the world rankings (Hacettepe University, Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, and Cukurova University). There were no institutions from Turkey among the top 100 in the lists created according to the number of verified reviews and top reviewers. Conclusion: Turkey has a considerable number of researchers registered with Publons. However, Turkey should follow a scientific route in terms of verified reviews. Turkey and Central Asian countries can create scientific collaborations and cooperative projects. Thus, Central Asian countries will benefit from Turkey's experiences.

Getting the Full Picture in English and Spanish?
Authors: García Vizcaíno María José 
Published: December 2021

Drawing on the mental model theory of fictional characters (Schneider, 2001) applied to audio description (Fresno, 2016), this paper examines the audio description (AD) of characters in English and Spanish for the Netflix series Élite. The study is based on the premise that semantic descriptions of characters, rather than merely visual descriptions of physical traits, contribute to a better understanding of the narrative complexities of a film, favour AD users’ memory, and reduce cognitive effort (Fresno et al., 2016). This contrastive analysis shows how pertinent description of action movements and appearances together with lexical accuracy can trigger helpful semantic meanings that reveal characters’ psychological features. Because Élite is a thriller in which the majority of the characters are murder suspects, accessing all types of information about them is essential to fully understand the plot. In addition, this analysis indicates that the English AD emphasizes certain character attributes which are absent from the Spanish AD, a distinction that influences the semantic domains, filmic cohesion and coherence of the narrative. This finding underscores the fact that cross-linguistic and cultural differences actually affect the reception of a fictional character by AD users (Orero, 2008; Mazur & Chmiel, 2012) and consequently, their appreciation and enjoyment of the program in question.
Lay summary
This paper examines the audio description (AD) of characters in English and Spanish for the Netflix series Élite. Based on previous studies (Fresno, 2014; Fresno, 2016), this analysis shows that not only physical traits, but also the description of action movements and looks can trigger helpful semantic inferences that reveal crucial characters’ psychological features. Because Élite is a thriller in which most of the characters are murder suspects, grasping all types of information about them is essential to fully understand the plot. In addition, this paper indicates that the English AD emphasizes certain character attributes which are absent in the Spanish AD. This finding underscores the fact that cross-linguistic and cultural differences actually affect the reception of a fictional character by AD users (Orero, 2008; Mazur & Chmiel, 2012) and consequently, their appreciation and enjoyment of the show in question.

Published: December 2021

This study described the meaning of lived experiences of the municipal leaders of Loboc, Bohol, Philippines, prior, during, and after typhoon “Seniang” in 2014. It investigated the initiatives and practices of the local government unit (LGU) and captured the household experiences through a qualitative research approach following the Husserlian descriptive phenomenology utilizing Colaizzi’s method of data analysis. Purposive sampling was employed through face-to-face interviews with 12 key informants after reaching saturation point. All narrative accounts were transcribed and served as the primary source of qualitative data. The extracted accounts were organized through thematic categorization yielding 77 significant statements, 28 formulated meanings, 15 clusters, and 4 emergent themes. These emergent themes include awareness of disaster, experiences during the disaster, good local governance practices, and experienced challenges. Grounded on these findings, it is concluded that effective disaster response and quick and successful recovery fundamentally depend on authentic and effective governance by Loboc local leaders concretized through collaborative, concrete observance, implementation of responsive policy processes and the harmonious team works among community members. Altogether, proactive involvement makes a community more resilient. The researchers recommend that Loboc local leaders, employees, and residents, altogether put a premium on active participation, profess a positive outlook with enduring commitment to immediately rebound from any experienced disaster.

Published: December 2021

Bhutan has a total geographical area of 38,394 Km² located in between the Indo-Malayan and Palearctic region, out of which 51.44% (19750.75 km²) of its total geographical area has been designated as the protected area. However, none of the districts have a structured baseline checklist of mammal species documented till date. Therefore, Sarpang Forest Division under the Department of Forests and Park Services had carried out five rigorous camera trap surveys including a nationwide tiger survey that covers representable areas of the district from 2014 till 2020. The survey shows that district has 36 mammal species that belong to 18 families under seven orders. Felidae and Cervidae families has the highest species abundance (n = 17%), while, Canidae, Herpestidae, Leporidae, Manidae, Melinae, Muridae, Mustelidae, Tupaiidae, Proboscidae, Pteromyidae, Suidae and Ursidae were the lowest (n = 3%). Above all, Sarpang homed 29.90% of total mammal species of Bhutan, out of which 3% of mammal species were categorized under Critically Endangered, 14% Endangered, 14% Vulnerable, 22% Near Threatened, and 47% Least Concern as per IUCN Red List. However, only 20 mammal species are listed under CITES and nine in Schedule I of Forest and Nature Conservation Act of Bhutan, 1995. Therefore, landscape-based planning such as the Division-based Conservation & Management plan; periodic monitoring of wildlife species using camera traps, and validation of Schedule I species are suggested for long-term conservation and management of globally threatened species inside the landscape of Sarpang district in Bhutan.

Authors: UZUN ATA Elif , IŞIKSALAN ÖZBÜLBÜL Nilgün 
Published: December 2021

Background: In this study, the relationship of CAD (coronary artery disease) with EAT (epicardial adipose tissue) volume and hepatosteatosis were investigated by using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT).
Material and Method: EAT (Epicardial Adipose Tissue) volume, CCS (coronary calcium score) and CT density of liver (CTDL) were measured by using 64-detector computed tomography in 96 patients who were clinically referred for the evaluation of CAD. The relationship between EAT volume, CCS, CTDL and their effectiveness in detecting coronary heart disease were investigated. Data analysis was done with MedCalc (Version 9.6.2.0) package program.
Results: CCS (AUC=0.866) and EAT volume (AUC=0.672) were significantly effective in determination of CAD. The diagnostic accuracy of CCS in detecting CAD was higher than of EAT volume. EAT volume was higher in patients with CAD (85.81±34.51 cm³), compared to patients without CAD (68.38±29.23 cm³) (P=0.0119). CTDL in patients with CAD (58.74±12.22 HU) was significantly lower than in patients without CAD (63.02±8.93) (P=0.0553). There was no statistically significant relationship between EAT volume and CCS (r=0.1620, P=0.1148), EAT volume and CTDL (r=0.0046, P=0.9648), and CCS and CTDL (r=0.0109, P=0.9162).
Conclusion: There was no relationship between EAT volume, CTDL and CCS. EAT volume is higher in patients with CAD than in patients without CAD. EAT volume had moderate but lower diagnostic power than CCS, to determine CAD.

REGULAÇÃO CIRCADIANA DO SONO ATRAVÉS DA SUPLEMENTAÇÃO DE MELATONINA E IMPACTO NO MANEJO CLÍNICO DO EXCESSO PONDERAL
Authors: De Oliveira Naomi Shede Rangel , Dos Santos Maria Eduarda Anulino , Melo Nathalia Caroline de Oliveira 
Published: December 2021

O mundo moderno tem sido associado, entre outros fatores, a diminuição do tempo de sono e aumento da adiposidade corporal. A regulação do sono é dada pela ação do sistema circadiano, regulado pelo núcleo supraquiasmático, o qual coordena todas as atividades metabólicas e comportamentais dos indivíduos durante o período de 24h, incluindo a secreção e ação da melatonina, a qual atua como um cronobiótico, que, quando em desequilíbrio, impacta em alterações metabólicas e no comportamento alimentar. O estudo objetiva avaliar a eficácia da suplementação de melatonina como adjuvante no tratamento clínico da obesidade. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa, onde a coleta de dados se deu através das bases de dados Pubmed, Scielo e LILACS. Foram incluídos artigos datados nos últimos 5 anos, além de informações coletadas na Diretriz Brasileira de Obesidade (2016) e sites governamentais, como Ministério da Saúde e IBGE. Utilizados os seguintes DeCS: melatonina; nutrição; obesidade; crononutrição, nos idiomas português e inglês. A melatonina possui receptores no tecido adiposo periférico, o que resulta em sua influência sobre o processo de lipogênese e lipólise, impactando no controle do peso corporal. A ação da melatonina exógena no tecido adiposo marrom favorece a sua hipertrofia, impactando na regulação da termogênese e balanço energético equilibrado. Dessa forma, sua suplementação pode ser vista como terapia adjuvante no controle do excesso ponderal por favorecer a qualidade do sono, repercutindo na diminuição do tempo de alimentação, controle do ritmo circadiano alimentar e manejo da resistência à insulina em portadores de excesso de gordura corporal.
