El origen cinematográfico del colonialismo en Haití: White of Zombie
Authors: Brito Alvarado Xavier , Rodríguez Caguana Adriana , Jadán Diego 
Published: July 2023

Reflexionar sobre el cine zombi, encasillado como B, es complejo, no por la falta de bibliografía o cuestiones metodológicas, sino porque su validez académica, muchas veces, ha sido opacada por considerarlas como producciones sin discurso político o científico. No obstante, en los últimos años esta mirada ha sido desplazada, y hoy, estas producciones, ocupan un lugar para explicar las múltiples ansiedades e incertidumbres sociales en que vivimos. La premisa de este trabajo recoge la película White Zombie (1932), La legión de los hombres sin alma; la primera película de esta temática, en la que se mezcla las narraciones fantásticas con las políticas de la época; y con ello debatir sobre el colonialismo como discurso histórico que sigue vigente en las sociedades. De esta forma, el ensayo comienza con un recorrido bibliográfico de lo zombi y sus representaciones cinematográficas, un segundo momento versa sobre la ubicación histórica y política del zombi en Haití, y, por último, el análisis de la película “White Zombie”, que desentraña las complejas relaciones entre blancos y negros dentro de un contexto colonial haitiano.

This latest research discusses the need for a better understanding of interest in entrepreneurship in vocational high school students. Financial literacy is knowledge needed by everyone (including vocational high school students) in everyday life. It consists of studying theory, mastering practical skills and developing financial thinking, all of which will make each of us financially successful.
This study aims to analyze the importance of the school environment and understanding of financial literacy and entrepreneurial characteristics that mediate students' interest in entrepreneurship. The saturated sample in this study consisted of 41 class 11 vocational student respondents, with an age range of 16-18 years who participated in community service activities held by UPI YAI lecturers. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire survey which was carried out at the end of the presentation of the material by the lecturers with 45 question indicators.
Structural Equation Model with Partial Least Square is an analytical technique used in this study. Testing path analysis with a measurement model (outer model) is carried out to find out the correctness of the answers given to the questions, namely measurements of internal consistency, convergent validity and discriminative validity, then proceed with testing the structural model (Inner Model). The results of the study show that the school environment has a direct effect on financial literacy and this financial literacy has an effect on the entrepreneurial characteristics of students. Meanwhile, the school environment and financial literacy have no effect on students' interest in entrepreneurship.
This study shows that school environment, financial literacy and business characteristics can be valuable indicators to increase and trigger students' interest in entrepreneurship. These results can be used to guide policy makers where to place more emphasis on financial education for vocational
Comparative analysis of ELISA, FEIA and CLIA techniques in diagnostic immunoassays for thyroid stimulating hormone: A cross-sectional study form Morang, Nepal
Authors: Mallick Ram L. , Gaire Chandra Prakash 
Published: July 2023

Background: TSH and circulating thyroid hormones are measured in serum as part of a thyroid function test (TFT), which evaluates the thyroid gland's ability to produce and regulate thyroid hormones. The objective of the current study was to compare the technical performance between ELISA, FEIA and the currently marketed automated CLIA for measuring the TSH level.
Material and methods: A total of 1,200 participants were enrolled in the study. Subjects were chosen randomly, either OPD patients or inpatients of Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital. Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA), Enzyme-linked Immunoassay (ELISA) and Fluorometric Enzyme Immunoassay (FEIA) technologies were performed.
Results: The total number of patients (1200) was categorized into group I, normal TSH (n = 680); group II, elevated TSH (n = 300); and group III, decreased TSH (n = 220). CLIA and FEIA based results were significantly more sensitive compared to ELISA results for TSH detection.
Conclusion: Chemiluminescence assay system, when compared to FEIA and ELISA, is far superior in terms of accuracy and sensitivity for reporting both subnormal and above normal TSH levels and can be helpful in the detection of subclinical thyroid dysfunction (SCTD) and in the screening of thyroid diseases.
Interrelation and Distinction between Legislative Drafting and Policy

Published: July 2023

Drafting is part of the legislative process, which in turn is part of the policy process. It is even sometime compared or linked to a child's game of Snakes and ladders. Snakes and ladders are game of chance where legislative drafting is game of skill. Moreover, legislative drafting requires abundance of knowledge of the language, its grammar, and the technical requirements of the form of legislation and perform the task in a non-partisan manner and keeping totally away from political controversies. On the other hand, a policy relates to government goal for achieve the methods and principles. But, policy document is not a law. Thus, policy sets out the goals and planned activities of a concern ministry and department, but laws set a standard procedures and principles that must be followed. If a law is disregard, the violator will punish as prescribed by the laws. So, law is binding and mandatory compared to policy, which means that legislative process is more valuable in practice.

Published: July 2023

Ilmu geografi adalah salah satu ilmu yang mempelajari mengenai fungsi suatu wilayah. Seiring perjalanan waktu geografi mengalami perkembangan pesat, salah satunya adalah geografi ekonomi. Geografi ekonomi adalah salah satu disiplin ilmu geografi yang mempelajari mengenai proses kegiatan ekonomi suatu wilayah dan pengaruhnya terhadap wilayah lainnya. Geografi ekonomi dimulai pada awal abad ke-20 oleh Alfred yang meneliti mengenai aglomerasi keterlibatan manusia dalam proses industrialisasi. Pada masa Alfred juga seorang pakar ekonomi, Walter membuat disertasi mengenai Location and Space-Economy menjelaskan bahwa faktor ruang mempengaruhi ekonomi. Dari disertasinya ini terbentuklah ekonomi regional. Jika dibaca secara harfiah, geografi ekonomi dan ekonomi regional memiliki arti yang sama, yaitu membahas ekonomi dalam bentuk suatu ruang. Faktanya, terdapat perbedaan antara keduanya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif membahas mengenai perbedaan ekonomi regional dengan geografi ekonomi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa terdapat perbedaan sudut pandang antara ekonomi regional dan geografi ekonomi. Ekonomi regional yang dikemukakan oleh Walter lebih membahas ekonomi secara sektor analisis tanpa menarik kesimpulan mengenai pola spasial suatu wilayah. Sedangkan geografi ekonomi menganalisis ekonomi berdasarkan titik-titik garis kesamaan nilai ekonominya.

The correct selection of sampling frequency when reading signals from sensors ensures high quality of digitized data and saves memory when storing such data. The complexity of automatic selection of the sampling frequency is explained by the fact that this frequency depends on the frequencies of the useful signal, which are not always known. Therefore, in the work the computer system for reading signals from temperature, humidity, and lighting sensors with automatic selection of the sampling frequency based on the Fourier spectrum analysis of the signals was developed. Signals from digital sensors (DHT22) are transmitted directly to the Raspberry Pi3 microcomputer. Signals from analog sensors (LM335M, light sensor) are fed to the Arduino Uno device. An algorithm for the analysis of Fourier spectra of one-dimensional signals has been developed, which is designed to determine the optimal sampling frequency and decimation coefficient of signals read from sensors. Based on the initial signals, their Fourier spectra are calculated, and by analyzing the spectra, the maximum frequency of the useful signal and the optimal sampling frequency are determined. Specified sampling frequency according to the sampling theorem is calculated as a double value of the maximum frequency of the useful signal. Decimation (thinning) of the signal is performed with a coefficient determined by the ratio of the initial and specified sampling frequencies. To assess the quality of the signal after decimation, the decimated values were interpolated by splines. The root mean square error of interpolation was calculated. Experimental testing of the developed tools for reading and analyzing signals from temperature, humidity and lighting sensors was carried out. In all considered cases, the sampling frequency is determined correctly. The resulting sampling rates can be used for decimation of signals or for subsequent reading of signals from sensors.

Authors: Maria Achiola 
Published: July 2023

<p><em>Religion and Cult in the Dodecanese during the First Millennium BC </em>publishes the proceedings of the conference of the same name, held in Rhodes in October 2018. Religion has always been one of the major components of peoples’ lives, an integral part of social, economic and political contexts, contributing to the formation of culture and history. In order to study and understand the religious and cult practices of a particular region, it is necessary to explore their various expressions through material culture and written sources. The oldest known cult remains in the Dodecanese can be dated to the end of the 10th and early 9th centuries BC and throughout the 1st millennium BC. They demonstrate the existence of a vibrant island society with various evolving cult practices. As a major stopover on maritime trade routes, the southeastern Aegean was influenced by contacts from throughout the Greek world and beyond. The contributions to this volume draw on archaeological and literary sources to explore both the development and continuity of cults in the Dodecanese, from the Early Iron Age through to the 1st century BC.</p>

En la actualidad se entrelazan los cambios y la creación de nuevas alianzas en todas las esferas tanto en la gestión pública como en la privada; el sistema de salud no está ajeno a este cambio porque ya tiene 30 años en el que el foco es el aseguramiento y afiliación; pero, esto requiere de una nueva perspectiva que responda a los cambios demográficos y económicos que vive el país; este cambio se relaciona directamente con darle relevancia a la Atención Primaria en Salud (APS), que busca alcanzar una cobertura universal de la salud, con un enfoque preventivo, eliminando las barreras estructurales, económicas, culturales, geográficas, lingüísticas y de género que impiden a las personas usar los servicios de salud. Con el fin de corregir las desigualdades en el acceso a los sistemas y servicios de salud tal inspiración desde el Estado fue tomada en la Conferencia Mundial sobre APS de Astana y nuestro país desea implementar y realizar la gestión real en este aspecto dado que APS en la Política Integral de Atención en Salud (PAIS) es el centro del sistema, pero que no se ha podido materializar dado que en el sistema actual la atención es fragmentada y compleja entre todos los actores del sistema.

Macroalgae, or seaweeds, have potential for use as feed ingredients and are currently unexploited despite their content of vitamins, minerals, and protein. Brown species can accumulate iodine from seawater and there are strict limits set by the European Food Safety Authority and the FDA regarding iodine content in animal feeds. Iodine can cause health problems for consumers if over or under-consumed and its presence in end food products is strictly regulated. The aim of the present experiment was to gain knowledge on intake, distribution, and excretion of iodine in sheep supplemented with Laminaria hyperborea by-product known to contain iodine. Twelve Norwegian White Sheep male lambs, four months of age, were blocked according to initial live weight (average 37.8 kg) and randomly allocated to two diet groups. Animals were fed gras silage and concentrate, without (CTR) and including the alga by-product at a 6% inclusion rate (HYP). The iodine concentrations were 4.1 and 476 mg/kg dry matter in the CTR and HYP concentrate, respectively. After 26 days of adaptation in a barn, animals were placed in metabolism crates for three consecutive days (Period 1) with collection of rumen fluid (via esophagus), grass silage, feces, urine, and blood for iodine content. After 5 weeks in the barn, animals returned to the metabolism crates for a subsequent three consecutive day sampling and iodine analyzes (Period 2). Data were analyzed via ANOVA using a repeated measure mixed model procedure. Dry matter intake (P = 0.001) and live weight (P = 0.001) increased from Period 1 to Period 2. Lambs fed CTR had higher daily growth rate than those fed HYP (P = 0.001). Iodine intake and excretion in feces and urine increased from Period 1 to Period 2 (P &lt; 0.001, P = 0.010, P = 0.007, respectively). Iodine excreted in feces was 37% and 67% for lambs in fed the CTR and HYP diets, respectively. None of the animals showed signs of iodine poisoning during ten the experiment. We found that most of the iodine excreted from lambs fed the HYP diet was in feces.
3′ RNA-seq is superior to standard RNA-seq in cases of sparse data but inferior at identifying toxicity pathways in a model organism

Published: July 2023

Introduction: The application of RNA-sequencing has led to numerous breakthroughs related to investigating gene expression levels in complex biological systems. Among these are knowledge of how organisms, such as the vertebrate model organism zebrafish (Danio rerio), respond to toxicant exposure. Recently, the development of 3′ RNA-seq has allowed for the determination of gene expression levels with a fraction of the required reads compared to standard RNA-seq. While 3′ RNA-seq has many advantages, a comparison to standard RNA-seq has not been performed in the context of whole organism toxicity and sparse data.Methods and results: Here, we examined samples from zebrafish exposed to perfluorobutane sulfonamide (FBSA) with either 3′ or standard RNA-seq to determine the advantages of each with regards to the identification of functionally enriched pathways. We found that 3′ and standard RNA-seq showed specific advantages when focusing on annotated or unannotated regions of the genome. We also found that standard RNA-seq identified more differentially expressed genes (DEGs), but that this advantage disappeared under conditions of sparse data. We also found that standard RNA-seq had a significant advantage in identifying functionally enriched pathways via analysis of DEG lists but that this advantage was minimal when identifying pathways via gene set enrichment analysis of all genes.Conclusions: These results show that each approach has experimental conditions where they may be advantageous. Our observations can help guide others in the choice of 3′ RNA-seq vs standard RNA sequencing to query gene expression levels in a range of biological systems.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is characterized by articular cartilage degeneration. It has been widely accepted that the mechanical joint environment plays a significant role in the onset and progression of this disease. In silico models have been used to study the interplay between mechanical loading and cartilage degeneration, hereby relying mainly on two key mechanoregulatory factors indicative of collagen degradation and proteoglycans depletion. These factors are the strain in collagen fibril direction (SFD) and maximum shear strain (MSS) respectively.Methods: In this study, a multi-scale in silico modeling approach was used based on a synergy between musculoskeletal and finite element modeling to evaluate the SFD and MSS. These strains were evaluated during gait based on subject-specific gait analysis data collected at baseline (before a 2-year follow-up) for a healthy and progressive early-stage KOA subject with similar demographics.Results: The results show that both SFD and MSS factors allowed distinguishing between a healthy subject and a KOA subject, showing progression at 2 years follow-up, at the instance of peak contact force as well as during the stance phase of the gait cycle. At the peak of the stance phase, the SFD were found to be more elevated in the KOA patient with the median being 0.82% higher in the lateral and 0.4% higher in the medial compartment of the tibial cartilage compared to the healthy subject. Similarly, for the MSS, the median strains were found to be 3.6% higher in the lateral and 0.7% higher in the medial tibial compartment of the KOA patient compared to the healthy subject. Based on these intersubject SFD and MSS differences, we were additionally able to identify that the tibial compartment of the KOA subject at risk of progression.Conclusion/discussion: We confirmed the mechanoregulatory factors as potential biomarkers to discriminate patients at risk of disease progression. Future studies should evaluate the sensitivity of the mechanoregulatory factors calculated based on this multi-scale modeling workflow in larger patient and control cohorts.
