Authors: Méndez-Toribio Moisés , Martínez-Garza Cristina , Cecconc Eliane , Guariguata Manuel R. 
Published: July 2017

La meta Aichi 15 del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica, el Reto de Bonn y la Iniciativa 20x20 son iniciativas orientadas a impulsar la restauración en Latinoamérica, sin embargo, son esfuerzos que no especifican los procesos de restauración.En este estudio se buscaron los países que cuentan con un plan de restauración en Latinoamérica para, posteriormente, analizar los alcances de estos. Los países con un plan de restauración fueron Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador y Guatemala. El análisis mostró que sus objetivos y enfoques de restauración coinciden. Destaca la consideración del establecimiento de objetivos hacia la recuperación de servicios ecosistémicos de manera sostenible, la adopción de enfoques de restauración a escala del paisaje y de largo plazo. La asistencia de la sucesión ecológica es considerada una vía costo-efectiva para la restauración. La participación social es importante para la construcción y operación de las iniciativas y existe un marco legal asociado a los planes. No obstante, falta fortalecer en los planes el marco filosófico, incluir criterios socioeconómicos y de éxito de la restauración en la priorización de áreas, desarrollar enfoques ascendentes en los procesos de restauración que beneficien su financiamiento. En los planes también deberán incluirse protocolos para el monitoreo de aspectos biofísicos y socioeconómicos de la restauración. Los planes examinados constituyen un gran paso para cumplir con los compromisos internacionales, sin embargo, el desafío no solo radicará en consolidar talesinstrumentos, sino en que los elementos que los compongan permitan la recuperación a gran escala de los ecosistemas.

EL VOTO URIBISTA EN LOS MUNICIPIOS COLOMBIANOS: PATRONES Y SIGNIFICADOS (2002 - 2014)
Authors: Velasco Juan David 
Published: July 2017

En las últimas dos décadas, Álvaro Uribe Vélez fue el presidente de derecha en América Latina que registró los mayores niveles de aceptación ciudadana. Por ende, vale la pena preguntarse por qué millones de colombianos lo apoyan electoralmente a pesar de los diversos escándalos de corrupción en los que estuvieron inmersos sus aliados políticos y familiares. Así, el artículo busca identificar los factores asociados con las votaciones por Uribe y sus candidatos apoyados a la Presidencia de la República. En ese orden, se descarta que la concentración de la propiedad agraria y la presencia de grupos paramilitares, sean factores relevantes para explicar el fenómeno. En contraste, se señala cómo los efectos de ciertos repertorios de violencia de la guerrilla, la inclusión de comerciantes y élites rurales en la oferta de seguridad del Estado, y el diseño de estrategias clientelistas para asignar bienes públicos a los pobres urbanos; fueron los elementos decisivos que le permitieron a Uribe consolidar un electorado policlasista en varias regiones del país.
LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DISCURSIVA DEL SUMAK KAWSAY ECUATORIANO Y SU RELACIÓN CON LA CONSECUCIÓN DE LOS OBJETIVOS DEL BUEN VIVIR
Authors: Guzmán Prudencio Guillermo , Polo Blanco Jorge 
Published: July 2017

En el presente trabajo trataremos de esbozar un análisis crítico de los distintos elementos discursivos que configuran el concepto de buen vivir o Sumak Kawsay, que tanta relevancia ha adquirido en el proyecto social y político desarrollado en los últimos años por el gobierno de la República del Ecuador, hasta el punto de quedar plasmado y consagrado en la vigente Constitución de 2008, enlazándolo con la medición y evaluación de sus logros reales de acción gubernamental y de políticas públicas mediante la construcción de un índice del buen vivir. A fin de comprobar si los objetivos estratégicos de desarrollo declarados en el Plan Nacional del Buen Vivir se han podido cumplir o llevar a término en mayor o menor medida, y cómo estos llegan a explicar los propios itinerarios discursivos del Sumak Kawsay.

The first year: A cultural shift towards improving student progress
Authors: Jobe Becky 
Published: July 2017

Student attrition has been a primary focus among higher education institutions for nearly 50 years, yet overall retention and graduation rates continue to be of significant concern. Despite increased attention, ongoing struggles of colleges and universities to effectively address potential barriers to student progress are well-documented. Part of the challenge lies in garnering widespread organizational commitment that establishes student progress as an institutional priority. Along with leadership commitment, broad institutional involvement and adherence to a systematic approach to testing new, innovative solutions are necessary to better position the institution to make clear, evidence-based decisions that improve the student experience. The purpose of this manuscript is to detail one university’s cultural shift towards establishing a clear student progress strategy (with particular focus on the first year), and the methodological approach that laid the foundation for a multi-year study of initiatives that resulted in improved student satisfaction, performance, and retention.
Working to Educate Global Citizens and Create Neighborly Communities Locally and Globally: Penn’s Partnerships in West Philadelphia as a Democratic Experiment in Progress
Authors: Harkavy Ira , Hartley Matt , Weeks Joann , Hodges Rita 
Published: July 2017

In the rapidly accelerating global era in which we now live, human beings must solve a vast array of unprecedently complex problems. Perhaps the most complex and significant problems facing society today are persistent, widening, and increasingly destructive social, economic, and political inequality; globally destructive, man-made climate change; and increasingly frequent and savage terrorist acts. Given their proclaimed dedication to critical intelligence, and their unique constellation of formidable resources to develop it, institutions of higher education, we submit, have a unique responsibility to help solve these problems—indeed all the problems intensified by globalization.
My Ordinary, Everyday, Boring Birth Story
Authors: Solimine Kaitlin 
Published: July 2017

ABSTRACTChildbirth is a natural physiological process that when supported by appropriate childbirth professionals, can be an empowering, positive, and healthy experience for both mother and newborn. I wrote this birth story to exemplify what a normal, prepared, supported birth can look like in a country where the vast majority of births involve various medical interventions. Although I do not always explicitly reference these works, my childbirth and mothering journey has been informed by the scholarship of Robbie Davis-Floyd, Sheila Kitzinger, and Ina May Gaskin.
Emerging Numerical-Modeling Technique To Evaluate Asphaltene-Inhibitor Efficiency During Entire Field Life
Authors: Yonebayashi Hideharu , Zhang Xiaohong 
Published: July 2017

Summary
This work sought to establish a robust asphaltene flow-assurance engineering with asphaltene inhibitor to mitigate the risk of asphaltene precipitation in tubing. For this purpose, the best candidate was selected through the asphaltene dispersant test (ADT). Furthermore, its inhibiting efficiency was evaluated by generating a numerical model. The purpose of this evaluation was to predict how its efficiency varied during entire field life in which production conditions changed in early and late life.
Through the two-stage ADT, the best inhibitor IB-23 was selected from a total of nineteen samples. The IB-23 revealed a high inhibiting efficiency of more than 80% at 200 ppm concentration, and maintained its efficiency more than 70% even at 10 ppm. Currently, any commercial software is not available for the modeling of asphaltene inhibitor caused by confidentiality for inhibitor physical data. This study achieved modeling of inhibiting efficiency by treating an inhibitor as a pseudoresin and/or pseudocomponent. It could be defined with limited physical data that were available in a publicly accessible material-safety data sheet (MSDS).
The numerical model was generated with a cubic-plus-association (CPA) equation of state (EOS) together with the conventional fluid characterization to characterize the asphaltene crudes. This paper demonstrates that the numerical model expressed the inhibiting efficiency as a size-reduction of asphaltene-precipitation envelope (APE) and a decrease in the amount of asphaltene precipitated. The model validity was checked by comparing with experimentally measured weight data of asphaltene deposits during the ADT. Assuming natural depletion, the APEs were compared with a variation of vertical lifting curves (VLCs) in tubing. Two VLCs were assumed to represent early and late field conditions (i.e., high wellhead/reservoir pressures and depleted ones). The no-inhibitor case revealed that precipitating risk existed over most of the tubing section. In contrast, the inhibitor-dosed case could significantly reduce the risks in the early stage in particular. Even in the late stage, the risks could be minimized because the interception of VLC on the APE became shorter than that of the no-inhibitor case.
Asphaltene inhibitor is a typical countermeasure; however, most of the applications offer only temporary relief. Through an entire field life, the production conditions vary such as pressure decline, gas/oil ratio (GOR) increase, and others. Accordingly, the efficiency of the inhibitor, initially selected as the best, fades away. Then, another screening would be required to select an alternative one that can adapt effectiveness to the new operating condition. This paper contributes to estimating its inhibiting efficiency during a whole field life.
Efficacy of Panoramic Radiography in the Detection of Osteoporosis in Post-Menopausal Women When Compared to Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
Authors: Pallagatti Shambulingappa , Parnami Priyanka , Sheikh Soheyl , Gupta Deepak 
Published: July 2017

Objective:It is a well-known fact that osteoporosis affects the people with old age and remains unnoticeable until the patient presents with fracture. Various studies in the literature reveal that panoramic radiographs may prove to be beneficial in the detection of Osteoporosis in patients. Henceforth this present study was aimed to validate the use of Klemetti Index (KI) on panoramic radiographs so as to detect osteoporosis in the patients at an early stage.Methods:60 postmenopausal women were selected. A panoramic radiograph was taken to grade their mandibular cortex on the basis of Klemetti Index. All the panoramic radiographs were evaluated by 5 different Oral Medicine and Radiology specialists. Later all the patients were subjected to dual energy X-ray absorptimetry (DEXA) scan for bone mineral density evaluation. The results were evaluated statistically.Results:The average accuracy of the five observers to demonstrate normal bone, osteopenia and osteoporosis when compared to DEXA scan was 58.08%, 63.3% and 64.74% respectively. The observations of the 5 observers on the basis of KI were not statistically different from the BMD evaluation done with the help of DEXA Scan.Conclusion:Panoramic radiographs can be used as a screening tool for the evaluation as well as early detection of osteoporosis with the usage of Klemetti Index.
Facial Soft Tissue Thickness of Midline in an Iranian Sample: MRI Study
Authors: Johari Masume , Esmaeili Farzad , Hamidi Hadi 
Published: July 2017

Background and Aim:
To identify human skeletal remains, different methods can be used and using these techniques, important data can be obtained. However, facial reconstruction is the last method to indentify unknown human faces which requires knowledge about facial soft tissue thickness in the different positions of the face. The present study determined the facial soft tissue thickness in the different landmark points on the MRI images of patients referred to Radiology Department of Shahid Madani Hospital.

Materials and Methods:
In this descriptive cross-sectional trial, MRI images of 179 patients (61 males, 118 females) in the age range of 18-76 years old who did not show any pathologic lesions, were selected. The measurements of the facial soft tissue were done on 12 landmark points on the midline area by two radiologist observers using specific software on the images. The differences in the soft tissue thickness in these landmark points were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney U (in term of gender) and Kruskal-Wallis tests (in terms of Body Mass Index [BMI] and age groups). P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The data were compared with the results of other studies.

Results:
The results obtained in the present study were higher than Turkish and American studies in most of the landmark points. Facial soft tissue thickness in most of the landmarks was more in males than females. In some of the landmarks, significant differences were found between emaciated, normal and overweight patients while in most cases, soft tissue thickness increased with the increased BMI. In some cases, significant differences were noted between soft tissue thickness values among the different age groups, in which the thickness increased or thinned with the increased age.

Statistical Analysis:
There were statistically significant associations between the presence and surface area of Haller cells and the occurrence of ipsilateral maxillary sinusitis. Neither the angulation of the uncinate process nor the size of the maxillary sinus ostium significantly correlates with the formation of maxillary sinusitis.

Conclusion:
The data achieved in the present study can be used for the facial reconstruction purposes in the Iranian population; however, the slight differences existing between the studied population and other subgroup races must be considered for accurate reconstructions.
Genetic Fidelity Testing Using SSR Marker Assay Confirms Trueness to Type of Micropropagated Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) Plantlets Derived from Unfertilized Ovaries

Published: July 2017

Background:

In vitro culture techniques provide an excellent platform for the multiplication of recalcitrant species such as coconut and thereby increase the homogeneity of the plantations. Clonal fidelity is one of the most important pre-requisites in a micropropagation protocol of crop species especially those with long life spans.

Objective:
The present study was conducted in order to determine the genetic homogeneity of coconut plantlets derived from unfertilized ovaries through somatic embryogenesis.

Method:
Twenty randomly selected plantlets at acclimatization stage, from two mother palms were subjected to Simple Sequence Repeats analysis. Thirteen highly polymorphic microsatellite primers were used for the detection of genetic fidelity in the clonal plantlets and their respective parent.

Results:
These plantlets showed no apparent differences among themselves and were comparable with the respective mother palm in the Simple Sequence Repeats analysis. The results obtained from this study suggest that there is no somaclonal variation or genetic instability occurring in plantlets that are regenerated from ovary explants.

Conclusion:
The absence of any sign of somaclonal variation suggests that somatic embryogenesis protocol did not induce the changes in gene structure, which had remained stable throughout the period that had been maintained in vitro. Determination of genetic fidelity of in vitro plants proved the suitability of regeneration protocol for large scale micropropagation applications for coconut.
