Antifungal Activity of Traditional Medicinal Plants from Argentina: Effect of their Combination with Antifungal Drugs
Authors: Cordisco Estefanía , Sortino Maximiliano , Svetaz Laura 
Published: October 2018

Background and Objective:
The incidence of fungal infections has experienced a
marked increase in the last two decades being limited to a few drugs with serious drawbacks.
Combination therapy has emerged as an approach to improve the efficacy of currently
used antifungal therapy that also may delay the evolution of resistance.

Method:
The objectives of this work are to present a bibliographic search on the plants used
in traditional medicine in Argentina for ailments related to fungal infections and to investigate
the antifungal activity of currently used antifungal drugs in combination with natural
extracts.

Results:
Results of the bibliographic investigation showed that 153 species belonging to 56
families and 120 genera from Argentina are applied to treat signs and symptoms considered
to maintain ethnopharmacological uses related to fungal infections, mainly for skin and mucosal
conditions.

Conclusion:
Regarding the evaluation of the antifungal activity of combinations between
extracts and antifungal drugs, we observed that extracts from plants species belonging to a
genera traditionally used for ailments related to fungal infections have more chances of
enhancing the activity of amphotericin B, fluconazole and itraconazole. In addition, we observed
that there is a greater chance of finding an enhancement in the activity of the commercial
antifungals when the combination is performed with extracts that have shown activity
in solitary. Nevertheless, inactive extracts that would have been discarded according to
the classic strategy displayed activity in combination and they continue being potential candidates
in the search for new antifungals.

Background: During postpartum period women have a high motivation to start using contraception and postpartum IUD is an ideal method to offer. The rate of IUD use is still low, 14.06% of all postpartum contraceptive use. This might be attributed to lack of information and counseling from health providers.Objective: To compare the number of postpartum IUD used among groups of clients who were counseled during ANC and re-counseled during latent phase (exposed group), and group counseled during latent phase only (control group).Method: This study was a prospective quasi-experimental or randomised clinical trial. The first group was those counseled during ANC and latent phase, and the second was those counseled at latent phase only. Chi square and relative risk were used for statistical test two proportions.Result and Discussion: A total of 342 subjects who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited. They consisted of the 210 subjects (61,4%) for the first group and 132 subjects (38,6%) for the second.The rate of IUD used in the first group was 82 of 210 (39%) and 30 of 132 (22.7%) in the second, RR 1,72 (95% CI 1.20 – 2.46), p 0,002. The rate of IUD used was also significantly influenced by a history of IUD acceptor RR 2,90 with 95% CI 2.23 – 3.77), a history of contraceptive used (RR 1,79 with95% CI 1,18 – 2,71) and a history of contraceptive counselling (RR 1,50 with 95% CI 1,03 – 2,19).Conclusion: Clients who were counseled twice (during ANC and repeated at latent phase) had higher rate of postpartum IUD used significantly than those who were counseled at latent phase only. Other factors that significantly affected the rate of postpartum IUD used were history of IUD acceptor, history of contraceptive used.Keywords: Postpartum IUD; counseling; rate of postpartum IUD use; antenatal care

Authors: Mella-Polanco Marcelo 
Published: October 2018

El propósito de este artículo consiste en analizar comparativamente las condiciones que inciden sobre la autorregulación y gobernanza de los sistemas de educación superior (SES) en Iberoamérica. Puntualmente, se indagará en los efectos de las políticas estatales sectoriales en el funcionamiento de los SES. En este marco examinaremos ¿qué factores determinan el consenso o la confrontación sobre los sistemas de educación superior en cada uno de los casos estudiados? Utilizando el qualitative comparative analysisse estudiarán 16 casos en la región incluidos en el informe CINDA2016. Se concluye que existen “dos mundos” que resuelven los desafíos de autorregulación y gobernanza por vías distintas, el de la educación superior pública masificada y el de la educación superior construida con base en lógicas de mercado.
“The Environment Was Like They Were in the Pub But With No Alcohol” –

Published: October 2018

Men’s health and life expectancy, particularly for those men from lower socioeconomic groups, remains an issue of concern in Ireland. This concern is reflected in the recent National Men’s Health Action Plan where important priority has been placed on finding appropriate ways to garner sustained involvement in health promotion interventions for men. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be a useful ‘hook’ to assist with such engagement. ‘Men on the Move’ (MOM) is a 12-week, community based, gender-sensitized, PA program established as a pragmatic controlled trial and aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of inactive men. The program was co-created with Local Sports Partnerships (LSP), delivered by experienced PA co-ordinators (PACs), and often supported by local community champions. This paper reports on the process evaluation of the MOM program using data collected from focus groups with the LSPs and those involved in delivering MOM from all 8 counties that took part. It aims to describe how MOM program activities were delivered, how closely it was implemented as planned, and how well it reached the target population. Findings highlight the importance of negotiated partnerships at and between national and local levels in terms of providing support, consistent guidance and appropriately branded materials to the LSPs. The underpinning inclusive ethos of MOM, embodied by the PACs, led to the creation of a fun, inclusive and comfortable atmosphere that helped sustain men’s involvement. This was aided by the use of male-familiar settings through which to deliver the program. While PA focused, findings here suggest a much wider impact on mental wellbeing and social connection and that this was achieved in a very cost-effective way. Importantly, men’s health training (ENGAGE) was a key factor in program design and implementation assisting in building capacity among service providers to work with men. Joined up service provision and drawing on existing, trusted, local community networks were vital to recruiting men into the program. Finally, the potential for MOM to signpost and offer an aftercare plan to community support for the men beyond the 12-week program was noted as important particularly where there is increased need of these among more marginalized groups of men. This process evaluation provides a good example of how health promotion interventions need to recognize and exploit the fact that health and wellbeing are integrally linked to the communities where people live out and experience their daily lives. Ensuring that MOM was embedded within existing community structures, and supported by community champions with the requisite skills and local knowledge, underpinned program success and sustainability.
Características de un proyecto educativo innovador: un reto académico a nivel de maestría
Authors: Rodríguez-Brenes Kattia Rebeca , Velázquez-Díaz Martín , Conejo-Vargas Jeffrie 
Published: October 2018

El presente artículo es realizado por tres estudiantes de la Maestría en Tecnología e Innovación Educativa (MATIE) de la Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica (UNA). Expone conceptos y características relacionadas con la innovación en la educación, las cuales permitirán orientar las prácticas académicas de aquellas personas que deseen iniciar un proyecto innovador dentro de un contexto educativo, especialmente, si se es parte del proceso formativo en la Maestría en Tecnología e Innovación Educativa (MATIE) de la Universidad Nacional (UNA), pues es parte de los requisitos de graduación. Para llevar a cabo este aporte académico, se realizaron revisiones bibliográficas de términos, se consultaron documentos oficiales, se presentaron experiencias de los participantes de la maestría y se entrevistó a personas académicas, administrativas, docentes y egresadas de la MATIE, con el fin de generar una visión concreta sobre las características, las ventajas y la gestión que debe contener un proyecto innovador. En esta investigación, es fundamental el concepto de innovación educativa. Explica Francisco Imbernón (1996), que “la innovación educativa es la actitud y el proceso de indagación de nuevas ideas, propuestas y aportaciones, efectuadas de manera colectiva, para la solución de situaciones problemáticas de la práctica, lo que comportará un cambio en los contextos y en la práctica institucional de la educación”. Asimismo, a partir de información recabada entre docentes, administrativos y estudiantes de la MATIE, se prevé perfilar a la persona innovadora, sus características y su desempeño en diversas actividades relacionadas con el desarrollo tecnológico, y su aplicación en múltiples niveles y modalidades de la educación. Como conclusión, la MATIE propicia la oportunidad de desarrollar y aprovechar las TIC para el diseño, la construcción y la evaluación de entornos de aprendizaje presencial, bimodal y virtual. Así, se impulsa que sus egresados sean gestores de entornos de aprendizaje en línea, que promuevan la superación de barreras y limitaciones que la educación enfrenta, en aras de generar nuevos escenarios y gestionar procesos que faciliten nuevos modelos y estrategias de formación.
Nonlinear Wave Modulation in Nanorods Based on Nonlocal Elasticity Theory by Using Multiple-Scale Formalism
Authors: GAYGUSUZOĞLU Güler 
Published: October 2018

Many systems in physics,
engineering, and natural sciences are
nonlinear and modeled with nonlinear equations. Wave propagation, as a branch
of nonlinear science, is one of the most widely studied subjects in recent
years. Nonlocal elasticity theory represents a common growing technique used
for conducting the mechanical analysis of microelectromechanical
and nanoelectromechanical systems. In this study, nonlinear wave modulation in
nanorods was examined by means of nonlocal elasticity theory. The nonlocal constitutive equations of Eringen
were utilized in the formulation, and the nonlinear equation of motion of nanorods was obtained. By applying the multiple scale formalism, the propagation of
weakly nonlinear and strongly dispersive waves was investigated, and the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation was
obtained as the evolution equation. A part of spacial solutions of the NLS
equation, i.e. nonlinear plane wave,
solitary wave and phase jump solutions, were presented. In order to investigate
the nonlocal impacts on the NLS equation numerically, whether envelope solitary
wave solutions exist was investigated by utilizing the physical and geometric
features of carbon nanotubes (CNTs).
Te Kooti's Slow-Cooking Earth Oven Prophecy: A Patuheuheu account and a new transformative leadership theory
Authors: Rangiwai Byron 
Published: October 2018

The French philosopher Michel Foucault stated: “I don't write a book so that it will be the final word; I write a book so that other books are possible, not necessarily written by me” (cited in O’Farrell, 2005, p. 9). In the same vein, I offer this book, not as a final word, but as a stepping stone for others. He ihu hūpē ahau1 - I am inexperienced in the ways of this world, and therefore I can write only from my particular Patuheuheu perspective and positioning within this book. This work is the culmination of my interest in the past, present and future of Patuheuheu. It is based on my interpretations, which are ultimately shaped by the whakapapa2 and life experiences that form the cultural lenses and filters that determine the way in which the research for this book was conducted.
La intervención local en las viviendas de uso turístico a través de la zonificación urbanística: requisitos y consecuencias
Authors: Arana García Estanislao 
Published: October 2018

Con orígenes en formas colaborativas de economía no guiadas por el ánimo de lucro, en los últimos años ha surgido un nuevo modelo de servicios turísticos conocido bajo expresiones como la de "alojamientos turísticos" o "viviendas turísticas". Se trata de viviendas de carácter inicialmente residencial que, a través de una plataforma digital, son ofertadas con carácter turístico. Se trata de una actividad económica con mucha aceptación social pero que, sin embargo, está generando numerosos conflictos relacionados, por ejemplo, con el medio ambiente urbano. Las Comunidades Autónomas, en el ejercicio de sus competencias en materia de turismo, han dictado normas que limitan esta actividad. Además, por otra parte, los Ayuntamientos, en ejercicio de sus competencias urbanísticas, están llevando a cabo una importante labor de control y limitación de la actividad a través de la técnica de la zonificación y que supone ubicar este tipo de viviendas en determinadas y concretas partes de la ciudad. A analizar los problemas jurídicos que se plantean con este tipo de medidas se dedica este trabajo.

Published: October 2018

A brief background of events leading to the successful implementation of the first ASEAN-India project on marine sciences is provided. Coordinated by India and Singapore, the project, entitled ‘Extent of transfer of alien invasive organisms in South/Southeast Asia region by shipping’ served to develop regional cooperation and networks to address the issue of alien invasive organisms, provide training for ASEAN scientists, as well as obtain baseline information on pest species for port management in the light of IMO’s Ballast Water Management Convention. The project was completed with an international workshop held in Chiangmai, Thailand where some 29 presentations were made by ASEAN and Indian scientists based on the project activities. A total of 23 original articles are included in this volume. A proposal to implement a second phase of the project was formally submitted to the ASEAN-India Cooperation Fund in 2016.
Marine Macroalgae: Prospective Hitchhikers of Ship Ballast
Authors: Imchen Temjensangba 
Published: October 2018

Invasive alien species, on successful establishment, can displace native species. The threat of invasive species arises in view of their ability to outcompete and destabilize native biodiversity. Invasive species are found across all taxonomic groups of plants, animals and microorganisms. The green macroalga Ulva flexuosa has a potential to become invasive and this species was investigated for its hitchhiking potential under laboratory conditions. Zoospores of U. flexuosa were maintained at 4°C for nearly 10 months in the dark. Recruitment potential of zoospores after dark stress was tested in a modified Provasoli medium under optimal laboratoryconditions. The success rate of zoospore recruitment was 61%. The paper describes the transfer potential through shipping activities by correlating the Ulva zoospores recruitment potential and survivability.
