La agenda de defensa del 2004 en la prensa chilena: superando estereotipos, construyendo confianzas
Authors: Witker Lván , Sáez Carolina 
Published: June 2024

Este trabajo es una aproximación al concepto agenda de defensa -preguntándose ¿cómo funciona su setting? y ¿quién determina la escala de jerarquías entre sus componentes?- para, luego, estudiarlo según el tratamiento que le brindan dos de los principales medios de comunicación de Chile durante el 2004. En este marco examina la cobertura brindada a los principales tópicos, a saber: operaciones humanitarias, gasto de defensa, Ley del Cobre, imagen de la exministra de Defensa Michelle Bachelet, imagen del ministro Jaime Ravinet e imagen de los comandantes en Jefe de las FF.AA. El artículo argumenta que la tarea de la agenda de defensa ha devenido en una suerte de eslabón sine qua non para entender las relaciones de poder entre las autoridades civiles, elegidas mediante el voto universal, y las Fuerzas Armadas. Sostiene también que la conformación de una agenda de defensa en el Chile post-Pinochet, pese al ambiente democrático que se vive desde octubre de 1988, ha tomado un tiempo importante de maduración. Los autores señalan que, pese a las limitaciones, la prensa chilena fue reflejando paulatinamente este cambio tan notable registrado en los últimos años y que la palabra clave, que sintetizó la agenda de defensa durante el gobierno de Lagos fue «modernización», concepto cuya materialización marchó de la mano del comandante en jefe del Ejército, general Juan Emilio Cheyre.
Challenges Facing Small-Scale Furniture Industries in Dar es Salaam Region, Tanzania
Authors: Mwagike Leonada 
Published: June 2024

The study evaluated the challenges Tanzania's small-scale furniture industry faced. The resource-based view and resource dependency theory were used as the study's guiding concepts. From the nation's commercial centre of Dar es Salaam, 154 furniture carpenters were chosen at random. The information was gathered via the questionnaire. The collected data was examined using a descriptive analysis. According to the findings, carpenters faced several difficulties, including a shortage of modern machine tools, inadequate working capital, low labour skills, a lack of formal workspaces, and fierce competition from imported furniture. The lack of modern machine tools prevented small and medium enterprises from producing goods of the kind needed to enter growing markets. To boost productivity, furniture production must make use of current machinery. Insufficient availability of suitable financial services had led to insufficient operating capital for investments in furniture manufacturing. The study concludes that the furniture business has a significant role in generating income and jobs. The study recommends that Governments should promote a business-friendly environment in addition to creating financial and non-financial services as well as supportive institutional infrastructure.

Authors: Ade-Ojo Idowu , Ojo Omolara 
Published: June 2024

Background: Cervical cancer is a significant global public health concern, particularly in developing countries. Antenatal care visits provide a unique opportunity to educate and screen women for cervical cancer. This study was undertaken to explore the awareness and acceptability of cervical cancer screening among antenatal attendees.
Methods: This study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey of 422 pregnant women attending antenatal clinics at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software.
Results: Of the 410 respondents who returned completed questionnaires, 61.7% had heard about cervical cancer, and only 40.3% reported awareness of the screening modalities. Healthcare providers were the primary source of information about screening methods in 59.0%. Approximately half agreed that information about cervical cancer screening during antenatal care would be beneficial. 90.5% had never undergone cervical cancer screening. Multivariate analysis shows that 32.4% of our clients who were aware of the cervical screening modalities before the current pregnancy had never been screened. OR 0.578, CI (0.036-9.321), p-value 0.699. 3.20% and 4.40.0% were aware and had done cervical cancer screening once and twice respectively before the current pregnancy.

É com muita satisfação e com grande senso de responsabilidade que o Centro Atlântico de Pesquisa em Humanidades (CAPH) publica o primeiro número da Atlantika – Revista Internacional de Filosofia.

A filosofia é a disciplina que nos convida a questionar, refletir e contemplar o mundo à nossa volta. Ela nos desafia a explorar questões fundamentais que vão além do superficial e do imediatismo que muitas vezes dominam a vida ordinária. A tarefa de definir a filosofia é difícil, por isso, valemo-nos de sua acepção grega original: “amor à sabedoria”. Na busca do porquê das coisas o homem encontra respostas parciais que o auxiliam a delinear um sentido para sua vida. Entendemos que o desejo de encontrar a verdade pertence à própria natureza do ser humano.

Приводятся результаты исследования профилей распределения имплантированных атомов кобальта в кремнии в зависимости от дозы облучения и температуры отжига методом резерфордовского обратного рассеяния (РОР). Полученные результаты хорошо согласуются с аналогичными данными полученными методами вторично-ионной масс спектроскопии (ВИМС). Изучены влияния термического отжига на распределения кобальта и в частности кислорода. Доказано, что при определенных условиях термической обработки и дозах облучения на поверхности монокристалла образуются так называемые эпитаксиальные силициды, которые могут играть роль проводящих слоев или металлических покрытий. Отмечена возможность использования метода РОР для анализа как концентрационного распределения легирующих примесей, так и взаимодействия примесей.

Epidemiology of Respiratory Health Outcomes Among World Trade Center Disaster Workers: Review of the Literature 10 Years After the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks
Authors: Ekenga Christine C. , Friedman-Jiménez George 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTTens of thousands of workers participated in rescue, recovery, and cleanup activities at the World Trade Center (WTC) site in lower Manhattan after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 (9/11). The collapse of the WTC resulted in the release of a variety of airborne toxicants. To date, respiratory symptoms and diseases have been among the most examined health outcomes in studies of WTC disaster workers. A systematic review of the literature on respiratory health outcomes was undertaken to describe the available information on new onset of respiratory symptoms and diseases among WTC disaster workers after September 11, 2001. Independent risk factors for respiratory health outcomes included being caught in the dust and debris cloud, early arrival at the WTC site, longer duration of work, and delaying mask and respirator use. Methodological challenges in epidemiologic studies of WTC disaster workers involved study design, exposure misclassification, and limited information on potential confounders and effect modifiers. In the 10 years after 9/11, epidemiologic studies of WTC disaster workers have been essential in investigating the respiratory health consequences of WTC exposure. Longitudinal studies along with continued medical surveillance will be vital in understanding the long-term respiratory burden associated with occupational WTC exposure.

Published: September 2011

AbstractObjectivePatients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) are characterized by increased muscle inflammation and altered gait. We investigated the association between proinflammatory mediators in the vastus lateralis and physical function and gait in patients with knee OA.MethodsNineteen patients with knee OA underwent gait analysis, assessment of self‐reported pain and physical function (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index [WOMAC]), and a muscle biopsy that was taken during their knee replacement surgery. Muscle was analyzed for cellular protein inflammatory mediators, interleukin‐6, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP‐1), p65 NF‐κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT‐3), and JNK‐1. Sagittal plane knee function, including early stance knee range of motion (ROM) and knee sagittal plane impulse, was measured using a motion analysis system. Pearson's correlation was used to assess relationships between selected variables.ResultsSignificant positive correlations were found between MCP‐1 and self‐perceived stiffness, physical function, and the total WOMAC score (P < 0.05). MCP‐1 was also negatively correlated with early stance knee ROM (r = −0.52, P = 0.023). Reduced velocity was associated with elevated levels of p65 NF‐κB and STAT‐3 (P < 0.05). Knee sagittal plane impulse was negatively correlated with JNK‐1 (P = 0.02), indicating reduction in knee impulse with an increased level of JNK‐1.ConclusionIncreased levels of several proinflammatory mediators were correlated with altered knee function during walking as well as greater physical disability and slower gait velocity. Identification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with muscle inflammation is important to better understand the underlying mechanism responsible for altered gait and function in patients with knee OA.

Published: September 2011

AbstractThe effect of Bi (semimetal) nanoinclusions in nanostructured Bi2Te3 matrices is investigated. Bismuth nanoparticles synthesized by a low temperature solvothermal method are incorporated into Bi2Te3 matrix phases, synthesized by planetary ball milling. High density pellets of the Bi nanoparticle/Bi2Te3 nanocomposites are created by hot pressing the powders at 200 °C and 100 MPa. The effect of different volume fractions (0–7%) of Bi semimetal nanoparticles on the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and carrier concentration is reported. Our results show that the incorporation of semimetal nanoparticles results in a reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity in all the samples. A significant enhancement in power factor is observed for Bi nanoparticle volume fraction of 5% and 7%. We show that it is possible to reduce the lattice thermal conductivity and increase the power factor resulting in an increase in figure of merit by a factor of 2 (from ZT = 0.2 to 0.4). Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity as a function of carrier concentration data are consistent with the electron filtering effect, where low‐energy electrons are preferentially scattered by the barrier potentials set up at the semimetal nanoparticle/semiconductor interfaces.
Do Health Claims and Prior Awareness Influence Consumers' Preferences for Unhealthy Foods? The Case of Functional Children's Snacks
Authors: Krystallis Athanasios , Chrysochou Polymeros 
Published: September 2011

AbstractThis study investigates if and how the translation of different types of functionality into measurable “amounts” of healthiness influences parents' preference for an a priori unhealthy (but tasty) food product (i.e., sweet or salty children's snacks). Moreover, it aims to explore whether perceptions about healthiness related to functionality types differ among consumers according to their level of prior awareness of functionality and its health benefits. The application of the discrete choice experimental technique on a sample of 140 parents with at least one 5‐ to 14‐year‐old child was selected as the most suitable methodological approach. The sample purposively comprised two subsamples of 70 parents each, based on their real awareness of the term “functional” and of the health benefits of specific functionality types. Parents generally perceived functionality as a product attribute that contributes positively to the image enhancement of the (unhealthy) target product and affirmed that they are willing to pay reasonable premiums for it. However, the level of consumers' prior awareness of functionality played a decisive role in their preference for functional products. The type of food that “carries” functionality was also more important when consumers had no knowledge of functionality. Overall, prior and accurate awareness was found to increase the variety of functionality types and preferred carriers, the strength of preference per functionality type, and the price premiums willingly paid.
The Impact of Retail Promotion on the Decision to Purchase Private Label Products: the Case of U.S. Processed Cheese
Authors: Bouhlal Yasser , Capps, Jr. Oral 
Published: September 2011

AbstractThe authors examine the impact of retail promotions, specifically, store coupons, manufacturer coupons, and store features on the decision to purchase private label products. To identify these effects, a probit model is specified and estimated, which allows the calculation of the probability that the private label product is chosen conditional on a set of explanatory variables. Attention is centered on American processed cheese transactions. The source of the data is ACNielsen Homescan Panel of U.S. households for calendar years 2005 and 2006. Retail promotion using store coupons had a significant negative effect on the decision to purchase private label products. In our sample, store coupons were used to purchase both private label products and national brands. A strong negative relationship was found between national brand manufacturer couponing activity and the decision to purchase private label products. Therefore, national brand couponing appears to be an effective strategy for manufacturers to deter private label growth, at least in the processed cheese market. This analysis also shows that the decision of purchasing a private label cheese product is influenced by several sociodemographic characteristics of the household, namely household income and size, age and education of the household head, race, ethnicity, and location.

Published: September 2011

AbstractA series of triorganotin chrysanthemumates (2,2‐dimethyl‐3‐(2‐methyl‐1‐propenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylates) (R3SnO2CC9H15) where R = methyl, ethyl, n‐butyl and phenyl was synthesized. The solid state structures were deduced using infrared (IR) and Mössbauer spectroscopies. The spectroscopic results indicated that all the compounds were found to be five‐coordinated in the solid state. Based on the NMR results, all the compounds are tetrahedral in solution. Larvicidal activities of the compounds were evaluated against the second instar stage of Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. The toxicity results indicated that these compounds of triorganotins were effective larvicides against all three species of larvae. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Highly reliable computation of dynamic sensitivities in metabolic reaction systems by a variable‐step Taylor series method
Authors: Shiraishi F. , Egashira M. , Iwata M. , Sriyudthsak K. , Hattori K. 
Published: September 2011

ABSTRACTDynamic sensitivities are useful to characterize time‐varying systems efficiently. In metabolic reaction systems, however, analysis using these values is not so popular. This is mainly due to the following two reasons. One is that the calculation of dynamic sensitivities requires us to derive differential equations for sensitivities from those for metabolite concentrations by partial differentiation, and it is not easy for experimentalists to perform this mathematical operation. The other is that the metabolic reaction systems are mostly described by stiff differential equations, from which it may not be easy to obtain reliable numerical solutions. We have previously developed software for calculation of dynamic sensitivities (softcads), in which one can calculate dynamic sensitivities with high accuracy by setting only differential equations for metabolite concentrations. This paper further improves the algorithm of softcads to enhance its performance. The results clearly show that regardless of the degree of stiffness, the improved softcads provides dynamic sensitivities with the super high accuracy that is comparable to the machine accuracy and also completes the calculation in a shorter time. © 2011 Curtin University of Technology and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
