Published: December 2024

Un número significativo de estudios sobre paisajes de memoria se centra en eventos traumáticos perpetrados por el Estado u otras fuerzas políticas y armadas contra poblaciones específicas. Este artículo propone analizar dichos eventos, comprender su desarrollo y examinar cómo inscriben sus huellas en el territorio. La cartografía se presenta como una herramienta clave en este análisis, lo que lleva a formular la pregunta: ¿cómo mapear estos procesos? Una respuesta posible es establecer un “campo”, que abarque y delimite el territorio, y realizar una selección de elementos significativos para ser mapeados y relacionados, los cuales proporcionan una base para el análisis del caso. Este trabajo investiga un territorio que se extiende por cuatro comunas ubicadas al sur de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile, marcadas por episodios represivos ocurridos durante los primeros meses tras el golpe de Estado de 1973. El proceso de mapeo implicó la identificación y selección de dos tipos de elementos/fuerzas: “lugares” y “desplazamientos”, que fueron analizados y relacionados. La integración de estos elementos permitió visualizar aspectos clave de la dinámica represiva, como escalas de episodios de violencia, jerarquías entre lugares estratégicos y patrones que sugieren la existencia de un plan para la ejecución de los principales operativos represivos.
Desafíos para la gestión y conservación del patrimonio contemporáneo: las ruinas de la villa San Luis de Las Condes
Authors: Placencia Jiménez Jorge Fabián 
Published: December 2024

La declaratoria como monumento histórico de los vestigios de la villa San Luis de Las Condes ha supuesto para el Estado un inédito desafío, no solo en la protección jurídica efectiva del inmueble, sino también en su gestión y puesta en valor como sitio de memoria. La norma y la institucionalidad gubernamental actual han demostrado ser insuficientes para liderar de forma compleja, integral y sostenida, la patrimonialización del monumento, observándose al menos tres ámbitos de acción en los cuales resulta necesario avanzar: lo jurídico, lo técnico, y lo político y social. El objetivo de este artículo es examinar algunos de los desafíos que enfrenta la gestión y conservación del patrimonio contemporáneo a través de este caso, en atención a su condición de patrimonio desintegrado y a las disputas por la memoria que ha suscitado. Para tales efectos, se revisan las políticas públicas que han condicionado la trayectoria histórica de la villa San Luis, desde su creación hasta la actualidad; se problematizan, desde la teoría crítica del patrimonio, las prácticas institucionales asociadas a su gestión y conservación; y se proponen, de forma indagatoria y abierta, algunas alternativas para pensar los desafíos que supone la patrimonialización de estos vestigios.

Published: December 2024

Abstract: Purpose: The teaching and learning of a surface area and volume of objects/substances among high school learners had been a problematic issue for a time memorial, particularly among the grade 8 leaners. But the fact remains that surface area and volume remain common concepts that are applicable to all events related to engineering concepts on daily basis. Due to this, the researchers have taken upon themselves to investigate the insight and perception of the grade 8 on surface areas and volume when learning mathematics in high schools.
Study design/methodology/approach: To achieve the aim of this study, this article examines how Grade 8 students in a high school within the Johannesburg East District of South Africa grasp their mathematics concepts on surface area and volume of shapes using a qualitative approach to get a deep insight into the study after a test was conducted by the researchers to select the learners with a better understanding on surface area and volume.
Findings: After the collection and the analysis of the data, the researchers discovered that some grade 8 students have a weak grasp of the ideas of surface area and volume.Therefore, the finding reported that grade 8 mathematics students commit some misconception. And this had led to poor understanding of mathematics among the students on how to find the surface area or volume of prisms without the use of a formula. This study also discovered that students exhibit some mistakes when working through problems involving surface area and volume, such as conflating the formulas for volume and surface area.
Originality/value: This study had confirmed that there are some overgeneralisations of abilities, ideas, and formulas which was evident in their responses.

Authors: Hajimi Hajimi , Fauzi Muhammad Rizki , Salbiah Salbiah 
Published: December 2024

The Kubu Raya landfill uses an open dumping system in its operations. (This method is no longer recommended for use in Indonesia). In this research, we describe the conditions surrounding the Kubu Raya TPA using observational methods and interviews with a descriptive approach. We describe landfill operations, infrastructure and facilities, daily waste volume, Kubu Raya landfill resources, remaining land, and service life. We also discuss future landfill land needs. The Kubu Raya landfill uses an open dumping system and does not practice vector control. The leachate collection facilities don't function, and the landfill's existing facilities and infrastructure need improvement. We have 270 m3 of waste entering Kubu Raya landfill each day, with a workforce of 37. The landfill covers 270 ha, and its remaining service life is approximately 300.84 days. In Kubu Raya Regency, it is necessary to consider adding 14.6 ha of land or building a new landfill. We need vector control efforts, infrastructure improvements, and considerations for additional land to make Kubu Raya TPA's waste management more environmentally friendly and efficient.

Minimally invasive spine surgeries have come a long way from their open counterparts in recent years, allowing for less tissue stress, smaller incisions, and quicker recoveries. Objectives: To trace the development of minimally invasive spine surgical procedures from their inception to the present day and to find ways to improve and innovate these methods in the future. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department of Lady Reading Hospital-Medical Training Initiative, Peshawar. 230 individuals were progressively enrolled, and a plethora of spinal disorders were recruited as inclusion criteria. This information was gathered by painstakingly capturing demographics, co-morbidities, surgical procedure details and postoperative results. Statistical analysis identifies the trends. Results: The mean age of the study was 54.7 years and male were higher in numbers. Discectomy was the most commonly performed operation with the degenerative disease of the spine accounting for the highest (26.06%). With an average hospital stay of 5.8 days, problems such as Dural tears occurred during the operation in 10.87% of cases. While problems such neighboring segment illness were observed in 6.52% of patients, follow-up demonstrated improved functional results in 65.22% of cases. Variables such as surgical indication and procedure showed significant relationships (p<0.001) according to chi-square testing. Conclusions: It was concluded that minimally invasive spine surgery draws attention to the need for ongoing innovation and research to improve outcomes and overcome technical challenges in the treatment of complex spinal illnesses. This approach offers less invasive treatments with shorter recovery times and fewer complications

Cirrhotic individuals with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were treated empirically with ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of intravenous ciprofloxacin against ceftriaxone in cirrhotic patients who developed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Methods: This prospective interventional analysis was conducted at the Department of Medicine GHURKI Trust and Teaching Hospital, Lahore from Aug 2018 to 2023, and comprised 356 patients of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. After getting informed written consent patients with ages 35-70 years were included. Equally divided cases into two groups, 178 patients in group I received intravenously ciprofloxacin 200mg and 178 patients in group II received intravenously ceftriaxone 1g for 6 days after every 12 hours. Post-treatment efficacy of both drugs was compared. Results: Patients under study had a mean age of 53.15 ± 11.67 years and had a body mass index of 24.8 ± 6.20 kg/m2. In group I efficacy was found in 142 (79.8%) and in group II effectiveness was found in 160 (89.9%) with p-value=0.002. We found a reduction in ascetic fluid polymorph nuclear count in both groups after 6 days with p<0.003. The frequency of complications in group II was higher found in 16 (8.9%) cases and in group I found in only 5 (2.8%) cases. 4 cases in group I and 2 cases in group II left against medical advice. The mortality rate was also non-significant among both groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that intravenous ciprofloxacin is equally efficacious as ceftriaxone in treating spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhotic individuals.

Published: December 2024

The applicability of antimicrobial nanomaterial coatings in preventive dentistry such as dental restoration practice in combating dental caries while embracing biocompatibility, and long-lasting and low bacterial adhesion properties has been the main area of research for many decades. Objective: To review the role of different types of nanomaterials in the field of preventive dentistry by focussing on anti-microbial coatings for dental restorations. Methods: The articles were taken from PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar within the years 2018-2024 following PISMA 2020 guidelines. The effectiveness of nanomaterials included in dental coatings in terms of antimicrobial properties, biocompatibility, and durability in clinical applications was observed. Bacterial adhesion, caries prevention, material nanotechnology, and patient satisfaction were assessed. The antimicrobial efficiency and restorative outcomes of different nanomaterials: via silver, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide; were evaluated. Initially, 109 articles were retrieved, which were then screened based on predefined inclusion and exclusion, resulting in 16 studies for detailed analysis. The regions of study conduction were North America, Europe and Asia. Results: The antimicrobial efficacy of nano-coatings in dental restorations was seen via reduced bacterial adhesion and biofilm. The link between nanomaterials like silver nanoparticles and titanium dioxide enhanced secondary caries prevention and improved the long-term stability of restorative materials. Biocompatibility studies demonstrated that these coatings are biocompatible; however, more work is required. The application of antimicrobial nano-coatings gives adaptive and therapeutic characteristics. Conclusions: It was concluded that nanotechnology should lead to better durability and performance of dental restorations thus better oral health and less caries
