Aproximaciones al consumo cultural hacia las músicas ligadas al narcotráfico y sus personajes: El caso de sinaloenses en Los Ángeles California (1970-2000)
Authors: Fernández Velázquez Juan Antonio 
Published: July 2022

Corridos are musical expressions that Mexicans have adopted as a genre converted into a vehicle to communicate through oral tradition, but also to have fun and accompany the leisure and recreation of those who listen and consume them, activating their memory and sensitivity. We understand by consumption what is detached from cultural merchandise, such as music; in the case of drug-trafficking corridos, they become melodies that the individual appropriates and adapts to their daily life with different meanings. In this work we take as a case study the Sinaloenses located in Los Angeles California.
Los corridos son expresiones musicales que los mexicanos han adoptado como un género convertido en un vehículo para comunicarse mediante la tradición oral, pero además para divertirse y acompañar el ocio y la recreación de quienes los escuchan y consumen, activando su memoria y sensibilidad. Entendemos por consumo lo desprendido de las mercancías culturales, como las músicas; en el caso de los corridos de narcotráfico se convierten en melodías que el individuo apropia y adapta a su cotidianidad con diversas significaciones. En este trabajo tomamos como estudio de caso a los sinaloenses radicados en Los Ángeles California.

In a society undergoing constant change, the school environment becomes an unbeatable context for combating the generation gap and promoting intergenerational experiences (IE). For this reason, this article aims to analyze IE in the context of formal education to clarify the parameters for action, common characteristics, and benefits. To this end, a systematic review has been carried out from 2010 to 2018 in the Web of Science, Scopus, Education Database (Proquest), and ERIC databases. The search concluded with a total of 515 screened records of which 58 met the inclusion criteria. Also, six specialized websites were analyzed as informal sources. Greater interest has been shown in the problem of the aging population and the promotion of IE in the school environment. The analysis provides evidence of the impact that this type of experience has on the participants (students, older people), the school environment, and the community. Therefore, IE is presented as sustainable alternatives that help to generate more cohesive and inclusive societies.

Published: July 2022

The objective of the present study was to determine what opinion students held about how often do certain behaviors arise in educational centers that can be interpreted by them as aggression or violence that teachers exercise and suffer in their interaction with them. A stratified probability sampling was carried out to 4467 Compulsory Secondary Education students aged 12 to 15 years (M: 13.15; DT: 1.24), to whom the CUVE-R school violence questionnaire was administered. The data suggest that students do perceive that violence is exercised by teachers against students and vice versa, with teachers exercising slightly higher degrees of violence towards students than the contrary. In addition, the violence exerted by the teachers has focused on their perceived dislike of students or their lowering of a student’s grades, while students seek to hinder their teaching by continually speaking in class or behaving incorrectly. ANOVA analysis showed that older adolescents (in 3rd and 4th year of ESO) with worse academic records obtained higher scores in suffering teacher violence, while the violence exercised by students towards teachers was accentuated in older girls enrolled in public centers located in urban settings. In conclusion, it is inferred that the violence exercised and suffered by teachers continues to be present in educational centers, making it a major obstacle to overcome for peaceful coexistence in educational centers.
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo conocer la opinión del alumnado sobre el grado de aparición de ciertas conductas en los centros educativos que pueden ser interpretadas por ellos como agresión o violencia que ejerce y sufre el profesorado en su interacción con el alumnado. Se llevó a cabo un muestreo probabilístico estratificado a 4467 estudiantes de Educación Secundaria Obligatoriae 12 a 16 años (M: 13.81; DT: 1.38), a los cuales se administró el cuestionario de violencia escolar CUVE-R. Los datos señalaron que el alumnado percibe existencia de violencia por parte del profesorado hacia el alumnado y viceversa, siendo ligeramente mayor la llevada a cabo por parte del profesorado. Además, la violencia ejercida por el profesorado se ha centrado en tener manía o bajar notas, mientras que el alumnado ha buscado dificultar su labor docente a través de hablar continuamente en clase o comportarse de manera incorrecta. Análisis ANOVA mostraron que los adolescentes de mayor edad (cursa 3º y 4º de ESO) y con peores expedientes académicos obtuvieron mayores puntuaciones en la violencia por parte del profesorado, mientras que la violencia que ejerce el alumnado hacia el profesorado se acentúa en las chicas de mayor edad, matriculadas en centros públicos situados en entornos urbanos. En conclusión, se infiere que la violencia ejercida y sufrida por el profesorado sigue presente en los centros educativos, convirtiéndola en un obstáculo importante a vencer para la convivencia pacífica en los centros de enseñanza.

Students’ experiences with graduate education in Brazil A confirmatory Factor Analysis Approach
Authors: Felicetti Vera Lucia , Cabrera Alberto F. 
Published: July 2022

Assessing graduate student education is a complex task. After all, graduate education is the result of a complex process involving course experiences, teaching, engagement in learning, mastery of skills, the ability to work with others and satisfaction with what is learned. This paper reports the results of a study seeking to document underlying dimensions of student experiences with their graduate education programs in Brazil. Confirmatory factor analysis reveals that student experiences with graduate education underscore three interrelated constructs: Engagement in learning, Collaborative Learning, and Intellectual Growth. The survey instrument that informed this study can contribute to the self-assessment of Graduate Programs in Education by accreditation agencies as the Brazilian’s Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
Assessing graduate student instruction is a complex task. After all, graduate education is the result of an intricate exercise involving course experiences, teaching, learning engagement, skill-building, collaboration, and learning satisfaction. This article presents the results of a study seeking to assist in the assessment of graduate education in Brazil through a survey about graduate education experiences. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), performed on 462 graduate students of various master’s and doctoral programs from six Brazilian universities, indicates that student experiences with graduate education underscore three interrelated processes: Engagement in Learning, Collaborative Learning, and Intellectual Growth. The survey that informs this study can contribute to the self-assessment of graduate programs in Education at different faculties and universities, while also facilitating regular graduate education assessment by accreditation agencies such as the Brazilian’s Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
A Systematic Review of the Validity and Reliability of the Patient-Determined Disease Steps Scale
Authors: Ann Marrie Ruth , McFadyen Caitlin , Yaeger Lauren , Salter Amber 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND
The Patient-Determined Disease Steps (PDDS) scale is a patient-reported measure of disability used by at least 3 North American multiple sclerosis (MS) registries. We conducted a systematic review of the psychometric properties of the PDDS scale as part of a harmonization effort related to disability measures used in MS registries.

METHODS
We searched the EMBASE, Ovid Medline, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CENTRAL, CINAHL Plus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from database inception through July 28, 2020. Two reviewers independently screened abstracts and full-text reports for study inclusion and data extraction and assessed study quality and risk of bias. We included studies that assessed the validity or reliability of the PDDS scale. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively summarize the findings.

RESULTS
From the 2476 abstracts screened, 234 articles underwent full-text review, of which 5 met the inclusion criteria. These studies assessed criterion validity, construct validity, and test-retest reliability. In all studies, criterion validity was assessed by correlating the PDDS scale score with the Expanded Disability Status Scale score (pooled r = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.66–0.79). Test-retest reliability was high (pooled intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96; 95% CI, 0.92–0.99).

CONCLUSIONS
In this systematic review, the PDDS scale demonstrated criterion and construct validity for assessing disability in individuals with MS who have mild to moderate disabilities. This review also supports the test-retest reliability of the PDDS scale, although further studies with larger samples are needed.
Dynamics of the interaction between the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2
Authors: Antony Priya , Jobe Amie , Vijayan Ranjit 
Published: July 2022

Background
The COVID-19 pandemic is still a global public health issue. Omicron, a SARS-CoV-2 B.1.1.529 variant, has raised concerns about transmission and vaccine effectiveness. Omicron currently has the greatest number of variantions.

Methods
To gain a better understanding of the significance of these variations and the dynamics of the interaction between the Omicron spike (S) protein and its human host factor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), triplicate 500 ns molecular dynamics simulations were run using the structure of the S protein’s receptor-binding domain (RBD) in complex with ACE2. The interaction and binding energy, determined using the molecular mechanics—generalized Born surface area approach, were compared to the original SARS-CoV-2 and the B.1.617 variant.

Results
Though mutations K417N and G496S in the S protein RBD disrupt interactions found in the original SARS-CoV-2 complex, mutations Q493R and N501Y introduce interactions not found in the original complex. Interaction at a key viral hotspot and hydrophobic contacts at ACE2’s N-terminus were preserved, but intermolecular hydrogen bonds and polar contacts in the S-ACE2 interface were lower than in the original SARS-CoV-2 interface.

Background: Peripheral neuropathy is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus, a risk factor for diabetic foot, and a major cause of disability world wide. Several authors have variedly reported on the efficacies of the different simple and sophisticated methods used in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic yields of different simple methods of screening for diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Methodology: This is a multi-center cross-sectional study involving 1040 participants recruited consecutively, following consent. Relevant biodata and medical history were obtained, while physical examinations including anthropometry, and blood glucose levels were done for each participant. History of paresthesia, 10g monofilament test, vibration test using 128Hz tuning fork, and ankle reflex assessment were the methods used to screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Student ‘t’ test and chi square were used to compare continuous and categorical variables respectively. Significant p-value was put at less than or equal to 0.05.
Results: The percentage of participants with positive screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy based on the different methods include: positive neuropathic symptoms (64%), negative neuropathic symptoms (50.7%), 10g monofilament testing (31.9%), vibration sensation by tuning fork (21.8%), and ankle reflex impairment (13.1%). A total of 80.1% of the participants were screened positive for diabetic peripheral neuropathy when all the methods were used.
Conclusion: Positive and negative neuropathic symptoms have higher diagnostic yields for diabetic peripheral neuropathy screening than 10g monofilament testing, vibration sensation using tuning fork, and ankle reflex examination. However, it is encouraged to use all available methods to screen for diabetic peripheral neuropathy, as this increases the diagnostic yield, and ensure early adoption of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Published: July 2022

Background and Objective: The majority of aquatic ecosystems in the Democratic Republic of Congo are highly anthropized, which could negatively influence biodiversity. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of environmental variables on fish distribution in the flooded swamp forest of the Lake Tumba micro-basin on the Mbandaka- Research Center in Ecology and Forestry of Mabali road.
Study Area: This study took place in ponds, swamps, marigots and small streams in relation to Lake Tumba in the flooded forest zone of the Mbandaka-Mabali road axis in the territory of Bikoro, Equateur Province in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Methods: Fish were collected using different fishing techniques and gears. Physico-chemical parameters were sampled using a multi-parameter Combo pH probe of the brand Hanna pH/ORP/EC/DO N° HI 9828, dissolved oxygen was measured using the Brand Voltcraft DO-100 oximeter and depth was determined using a graduated board. Several ecological indices of fish communities were determined as well as Hierarchical Ascending and Principal Component Classification analyses.
Results: Twenty-two fish species belonging to ten orders, thirteen families and fifteen genera were identified. The average values of the abiotic variables show that the waters of the study area are characterized by low values of physico-chemical parameters within the ranges compatible with the survival of the local fish fauna. The canonical correspondence analyses reveal that five environmental variables (temperature, depth, dissolved oxygen, sandy bottom and sandy-muddy or gravelly bottom) would explain the abundance and distribution of fourteen fish species in the Longonye site. In contrast, turbidity, conductivity, pH, muddy bottom, and bottom littered with plant debris influenced the abundance and distribution of eight fish species at the Hongo, Ilungu, Lotende and Membe sites. Scoop fishing, stump removal, and the use of ichthyotoxic plants were the main anthropogenic activities that could compromise the fish fauna in the study area.
Conclusion and Outlook: Promoting sustainable local fishing methods would help preserve the fish fauna studied and limit the deterioration of fish habitats.

Published: July 2022

A commercial drip irrigation system was evaluated at farmer’s field under grapes to study the various parameters viz emission uniformity, emitter flow variations and statistical uniformity during the year 2019. The soil characteristics of the experiment field at different profile depths was analyzed and sandy loam soil is available at 0 to 15 cm depth and sandy clay loam is available from 15 cm to 60 cm depths, Irrigation was given daily based on potential evaporation. The soil moisture status during the crop growth period at various depths under the emitter was studied. The soil moisture in the field was maintained in a range of 21 to 23% under drip irrigation in the 60 cm depth irrespective of the duration. During the rainy season when no irrigation was given, the soil moisture fluctuated depending upon the intensity of rainfall. The system performance was good as indicated by high uniformity coefficient (93%) which indicates that the field is irrigated in a highly uniform manner. The yield was estimated as 27500 kg/ha and water use efficiency was found to be 566 kg.ha/cm The study revealed that superiority of drip irrigated soil regime and moisture content in the soil in 60 cm depth was more or less maintained constantly during the irrigation period.
