Imaginarios de las infancias en el cine mexicano del narcomundo: los casos de Vuelven y Noche de fuego
Authors: Murillo Tenorio Ilse , Lagunas Cerda Samuel 
Published: July 2022

In this article we ask ourselves about the construction of childhood imaginaries in recent Mexican cinema (2017-2021). We chose to limit ourselves to the narcoworld cinema because we consider that the inclusion of children’s points of view has been what has marked the transformation of this genre in the last five years. We selected the films Tigers are not afraid (Issa López, 2017) and Prayers for the stolen (Tatiana Huezo, 2021), as they feature groups of boys and girls who inhabit the bowels of the narco world and who, beyond being victims of narco-violence, appear as transforming subjects of their environment, generating survival strategies. In the first place, we define film imaginaries as the set of symbols and images that, through specific cinematographic elements, give meaning to individual and collective identities in the film’s fictional world. Then, we present the analysis results in three axes: childhood-adulthood, boys-girls, and game-reality. Finally, we highlight the relevance of studying the filmic imaginaries of childhoods, not only to account for a specific cultural phenomenon but also to investigate the paths that cinema opens from childhood in the dark reality of the narcoworld.
En este artículo nos preguntamos por la construcción de imaginarios de las infancias en el cine mexicano reciente (2017-2021). Elegimos circunscribirnos al cine del narcomundo pues consideramos que ha sido la inclusión del punto de vista de la niñez lo que ha marcado la transformación de este género en el último lustro. Seleccionamos las películas Vuelven (Issa López, 2017) y Noche de fuego (Tatiana Huezo, 2021), porque son protagonizadas por grupos de niños y niñas que habitan las entrañas del narcomundo, quienes, más allá de ser víctimas de la narcoviolencia, son sujetos transformadores de su entorno, generando estrategias creativas de supervivencia. En primer lugar, definimos los imaginarios fílmicos como el conjunto de símbolos e imágenes que, a través de elementos cinematográficos concretos, produce una significación que da sentido a las identidades individuales y colectivas en el mundo de la película. Después, presentamos los resultados del análisis en tres ejes: niñez-adultez, niños-niñas y juego-realidad. Finalmente, remarcamos la pertinencia de estudiar los imaginarios fílmicos de las infancias, no solo para dar cuenta de un fenómeno cultural específico, sino para, a partir del concepto de imaginarios, indagar en los caminos que el cine abre desde las infancias en la oscura realidad del narcomundo.
La maternidad como tema en la pintura contemporánea: Jenny Saville y Marlene Dumas
Authors: Andrés Fernández María Isabel 
Published: July 2022

Due to the unequal distribution of caregiving tasks, which still exists today, motherhood can be an obstacle to the professional development of many women artists. However, given the right conditions, this is not an insurmountable challenge, and in fact there are renowned artists who are also mothers. In this article, two of them, Marlene Dumas and Jenny Saville, are taken as case studies. Both are critical of previous interpretations of motherhood, due to its excessive sentimentality and idealization, and they seek to reinterpret this topic from their personal experience. We analyse the way in which both approach the subject, what contributions they make to previous versions and to what extent having children influences their artistic creation. In both cases, the experience of motherhood inspires a part of their artworks at a certain moment, even opening a new stylistic line in Saville’s work, but it does not define them as artists, since their production is not limited to this aspect.
La maternidad puede suponer, debido al todavía desigual reparto de las tareas del cuidado, un obstáculo para el desarrollo profesional de muchas mujeres artistas. Pero, dadas las condiciones adecuadas, no se trata de un obstáculo insalvable, y de hecho existen artistas de reconocido prestigio que también son madres. En este artículo se toma como casos de estudio dos de ellas, Marlene Dumas y Jenny Saville. Ambas se muestran críticas con interpretaciones previas del tema de la maternidad, por su excesivo sentimentalismo e idealización, y pretenden reinterpretarlo desde su experiencia personal. Se analiza la forma en que ambas abordan el tema, qué aportaciones realizan sobre versiones previas y en qué medida influye el hecho de tener hijos en su creación artística. En ambos casos, la experiencia de la maternidad inspira una parte de su actividad artística en una época determinada, abriendo incluso una nueva línea estilística en el caso de Saville, pero sin que podamos decir que las defina como artistas, ya que su producción no se limita a este aspecto.
Las movidas ecosociales de Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya A. C. Con-fabulaciones, re-existencias y maniobras de retaguardia
Authors: Romero Caballero Belén 
Published: July 2022

Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya is a self-managed civil association founded by indigenous Tsotsil and Tseltal women, in February 1994, in San Cristóbal de las Casas (Mexico), in the geopolitical context of the uprising of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Although they are known nationally and internationally for their popular theater work, this has not been the only eco-social move. Reflect this, the workshops with women and children from different indigenous and peasant communities of Chiapas who, in 1994 and 1995, came to the city fleeing the violence of the armed conflict, or from previous migrations, because of forced expulsions caused by for religious intolerance. This article will try to show how the pareja and indissoluble articulation with practices located in an ontology and epistemology based on care and other maneuvers to sustain human and non-human life, with-fabled in the kuxlejal lekil, which have as a pedagogical device collective backbone of the popular arts, highlights the scope and particularity of their work as social actors, as well as their political commitment to the transformation of the material and visual culture of indigenous, mestizo and low-income women, and the politics of place.
Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya es una asociación civil autogestionada fundada en febrero 1994 por mujeres indígenas tsotsiles y tseltales, en San Cristóbal de las Casas (México), en el contexto geopolítico del levantamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional. Si bien, son conocidas a nivel nacional e internacional por su trabajo de teatro popular comunitario, esta no ha sido su única movida ecosocial. Dan cuenta de ello, los talleres con mujeres y niños de diferentes comunidades indígenas y campesinas chiapanecas que, en los años 1994 y 1995, llegaban a la ciudad huyendo de la violencia del conflicto armado, o procedentes de migraciones anteriores, consecuencia de expulsiones forzosas causadas por la intolerancia religiosa. Este artículo tratará de mostrar cómo la articulación pareja e indisoluble con unas prácticas situadas en una ontología y epistemología de los cuidados y otras maniobras de sostenimiento de la vida humana y no humana, con-fabulada en el lekil kuxlejal, que tienen como dispositivo pedagógico colectivo vertebrador el teatro y las artes populares, pone de manifiesto el alcance y la particularidad de su trabajo como actoras sociales, así como su compromiso político para la transformación de la cultura material y visual de las mujeres indígenas, mestizas o de escasos recursos, y las políticas del lugar.

Published: July 2022

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in initial teacher training means integrating elements of Social Responsibility into their training curriculum, towards a demanding adaptation and continuous social change as a way of understanding human development, explaining the establishment of social links and the construction of fairer and better human communities. In this sense, the purpose of this study is to collect and analyse the evidence from international and national scientific literature on the attitudes, competencies and training of future teachers towards ESD. For this reason, a qualitative methodological process has been applied based on a systematic review of the most important and influential scientific databases (WoS and Scopus). One of the most interesting results of the research work shows that there are favourable attitudes among university students of Education regarding sustainability and their commitment to the environment and to a fairer society. However, it is concluded that, among other aspects, in the academic curriculum of the Degrees in Education there is a deficit in the student formation towards the development of the necessary professional competencies to apply ESD in their professional teaching practice.
La Educación para el Desarrollo Sostenible (EDS) en la formación inicial del docente significa integrar en su currículum formativo elementos propios de la Responsabilidad Social (RS), dirigido hacia una exigente adaptación y cambio social continuo como forma de entender el desarrollo humano, explicando el establecimiento de vínculos sociales y de construcción de comunidades humanas más justas y mejores. En este sentido, el propósito de este estudio consiste en recopilar y analizar la evidencia de la literatura científica internacional y nacional sobre las actitudes, competencias y formación del futuro docente hacia la EDS. Por este motivo, se ha aplicado un proceso metodológico cualitativo a partir de una revisión sistemática realizada en las bases de datos científicas más importantes e influyentes (WoS y Scopus). Uno de los resultados más interesantes del trabajo de investigación demuestra que existen actitudes favorables entre los estudiantes universitarios de Educación hacia la sostenibilidad y su compromiso con el entorno y con una sociedad más justa. Sin embargo, se concluye que, entre otros aspectos del estudio, en el currículum académico de los Grados en Educación existe un déficit en la formación del estudiante hacia el desarrollo de competencias profesionales necesarias para aplicar la EDS en su práctica docente profesional.

Background
Dendrobium candidum/officinale (Dendrobium candidum Wall.ex Lindl.; Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo) is an expensive medicinal plant used mainly as a tonic in China. Tie-pi-feng-dou is the common name of the processed medicinal Dendrobium candidum/officinale. The market prices of Dendrobium sources vary significantly and it is difficult to identify different types of Dendrobiums due to their similar appearances. The use of counterfeit Dendrobium candidum/officinale is ubiquitous and problematic. Therefore, it is important to be able to discriminate between the wide range of available Dendrobium.

Methods
In an effort to better distinguish between the varieties of Dendrobium, Raman spectroscopy was used to detect specific Dendrobiums relative to their source. Transport channel imaging of the microstructural sites by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was used to identify the unique constitution and enrichment status of dendrobines, which was determined mainly by the geographical source of the Dendrobium. This implies that exclusive spectral traits may be unique to different regions. The presence or absence of these traits differ among the geographical origins.

Results
We can identify several spectral traits for various Dendrobiums. An intense peak at 1,525 cm−1 was only found in Dendrobium candidum/officinale (Zhe-jiang/Yun-nan/An-hui), while the characteristic Dendrobium candidum/officinale bands were near 742 cm−1, 1,326 cm−1 and 1,330 cm−1. A systematic method for distinguishing between four geographical locations of Dendrobium (Zhe-jiang/Yun-nan/An-hui/Gui-zhou) were established. This reveals that the origin of an unknown Dendrobium may be identified by Raman spectroscopy and micro-CT imaging. This method was shown to be efficacious, fast, and non-destructive.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic is still a major global public health hazard, posing a threat to healthcare availability and accessibility. It is of importance for researchers to contribute towards the achievement of the SDG goal 3.8.1 by keeping an eye on any potential threats to universal health coverage. This study aim to document the rate and pattern of inaccessibility to healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the factors associated with the likelihood of healthcare services inaccessibility during the pandemic in three selected sub-Saharan African countries (Burkina Faso Congo Democratic Republic, and Nigeria).
Methods: We analysed a secondary data collected by the Performance for monitoring Action (PMA), the cross-sectional survey was carried out among women of reproductive age 15 – 49 years. Dataset with valid responses to question on healthcare accessibility were extracted from the dataset for Burkina Faso (1486), CDR (402), and Nigeria (322). The outcome variable was Healthcare services accessibility (Inaccessible=1, accessible=0). Descriptive statistics were analysed and presented, chi-square and logistics regression were used to explore associated factors of inaccessibility. Stata MP 16 was used for the Analysis. P values were considered significant at P <0.05.
Results: On the overall, about 13.6% (7.5% in Burkina Faso, 19.2% in CDR, and 14.0% in Nigeria) women had no access to healthcare services. Women in CDR (AOR= 2.56, 95%CI:1.74 - 3.77), and Nigeria (AOR=1.94, 95%CI: 1.28 – 2.95) were more likely to encounter inaccessibility to healthcare services during the pandemic compared to women from Burkina Faso. Also, women who visited for ANC (AOR=0.54, 95%CI:0.32 – 0.91), Child’s health (AOR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.41 – 0.84), and Immunization (AOR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.37 – 1.05).
The COVID-19 pandemic threatened the SDG goal for Universal health coverage as the pandemic led to inaccessibility to healthcare services in the Burkina Faso, Congo Democratic Republic and Nigeria. This study recommends that policies and measures to ensure that access to healthcare are not disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Performance of Cashew Processing Units in Tamil Nadu; A Case Study in Kanyakumari
Authors: Mohan S. Megha , Vidhyavathi A. , Padmarani S. , Balaji P. 
Published: July 2022

Aims: This study aimed to analyse the growth rate of export and import of raw cashew nuts and Cashew Kernels in terms of quantity and value in India and to carry out the economic analysis and evaluate investment efficiency of Mechanised and partially mechanised processing units in the Kanyakumari District.
Study design: Purposive random sampling is used.
Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in the Kanyakumari District of Tamil Nadu in February 2022. Data were also collected from the official website of DCCD(Directorate of Cashew and Cocoa Development) and the UNCTAD(United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) special issue on cashew nuts.
Methodology: The growth rate of exports of cashew kernels and import of raw cashew nuts in terms of quantity and value is calculated using CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) and the instability index has also been calculated using Cuddy Della Valle Index(CDVI). Economic analysis of cashew processing units was calculated by categorizing processing units into mechanized and partially mechanized units. 10 samples in each category were selected randomly and analyses like gross returns, net returns, payback period, and break-even point were carried out.
Results: The study lead to many important findings as follows. The CAGR of export of cashew kernels in terms of quantity and value is found to be -2.27% and 5.19% respectively. Also, the CAGR of import of raw cashews in terms of quantity and value was found to be 4.91% and 13.27% respectively. The net returns from processed cashew products gave a mechanised business an edge over a partially mechanised firm (a mechanised firm earned a net return of Rs.31126/tonne, whereas a partially mechanised firm received a net return of Rs.18032/tonne).
Conclusion: Also, this study shows that even though mechanization involves a large initial expenditure, mechanisation is a beneficial alternative in the long term.
As a recommendation, it could be suggested from the study that mechanization is a feasible option wherever there is labour shortage as it can help the processors to maintain the quantity of cashew processed to obtain the benefits.

Published: July 2022

Aims: To extract the bitter content of Carapa procera oil and to evaluate the antimalarial activity of its bitter content.
Study Design: Experimental research.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemistry (University of Kinshasa) and National Institute for Biomedical Research, between December 2016 and June 2018.
Methodology: The seeds of C. procera were collected in the Kwilu region (Democratic Republic of Congo). A standardized method of Soxhlet was used for the extraction and determination of the oil content. The bitter content of C. procera oil was removed by liquid-liquid extraction. Organoleptic sensory analyzes have used a test of the effectiveness of debittering.
The in vitro antimalarial activity of bitter content, extracts, crude oil and the debittered oil on Plasmodium falciparum were evaluated according to the method of maturation test of trophozoites into schizonts.
Results: Quality indexes such as acid values (12.72 and 2.72 mg KOH/g), saponification values (190.36 and 193.12 mg KOH/g), peroxide values (5.26 and 19.66 meq O2/Kg), and iodine values (69.09 and 68.63 g I2/100 g) was determined for crude oil and debittered oil respective antimalarial activity was evaluated. Crude oil and bitter content showed respectively significant antimalarial activity with IC50 values of 3.44 and 0.30 µg/mL.
Conclusion: The elimination of the bitter content does not affect the quality of C. procera oil. These results were, for the most part, in accordance with the codex alimentarius for edible oils. Concerning the antimalarial activity, according to RITAM, C. procera crude oil could present probable antimalarial activity against P. falciparum (3.44 μg/mL), low value compared to that of the bitter content.

The World Health Organization (WHO) ranks chronic inflammatory diseases as the greatest threat to human health. The current study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of aqueous leaf extract of Alchornea cordifolia on Wistar rats. Twenty Wistar rats of both genders weighing between 110-178g were used for this study. Egg albumin was used for induction of inflammation. The rats were grouped into five groups of 4 per group. Groups 3, 4 and 5 received 400, 800mg/kg b.w of aqueous extract and reference drug respectively after induction. Groups 1 and 2 served as normal and negative controls. Rats were sacrificed and blood samples collected for hematological and biochemical analyses. Phytochemical screening of the plant revealed the presence of alkaloid, phenolic compounds, Tannins and Quinine. Result showed significant in (p≤ 0.05) in paw size, rectal temperature and number of writhing in group 2 and non-significant reduction (p ≥ 0.05) in group 4 were seen when compared to group 1 and 2 respectively. Significant (p≤0.05) increase in C-reactive protein and nitric oxide concentrations were observed in groups 3 and 4 when contrasted to group 2 in the studies. Non-significant differences in all hematological parameters in all treated groups were observed when compared to group 2. Aqueous leaf extract of Alchornae cordifolia displayed anti-inflammatory effects at 800 mg/ kg b.w after 4 hours of treatment.
Guanzi
Authors: Leung Vincent 
Published: July 2022

Abstract

The
Guanzi
is one of the most important textual collections from early China. It is a sprawling text with seventy‐six chapters, totaling more than 135,000 characters. They touch on a wide range of topics, including politics, ethics, military strategies, geography, cosmology, education, and self‐cultivation. It is particularly noted for containing some of the most sophisticated writings on economic theories from early China. There is no identifiable author of the texts in the
Guanzi
; they are also of uncertain dates. It was put together, as a distinct collection, for the first time in the late first century
bce
, and scholars have surmised that most of the pieces were likely written between the late fourth century and the first century
bce.
The
Guanzi
provides a valuable snapshot of the dynamic intellectual universe of early China in this period.
Sand, Windblown
Authors: Munro Robert Neil 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Aeolian sand formations are a function of sand supply, wind, and topography. The ancients were unable to stabilize sands, despite the presence of natural stabilization in many areas. However, providentially sand accumulation has buried and thus preserved many ancient sites. There is a huge literature on this subject: the Bibliography of Aeolian Research for example has over 43,000 articles listed, to which excavators with a sand problem should refer.

AbstractWater ingress is one of the major environmental stresses to cause the degradation of device performance in organic photovoltaic (OPVs) and is one of the major barriers impeding their commercialization. This work demonstrates that combining the use of a nanoparticle titanium dioxide (np‐TiO2) electron transporting layer (ETL) and an all‐polymer bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photoactive layer can endow the derived OPV with a much better water resistivity than the commonly employed zinc oxide (ZnO) ETL or polymer:small molecule BHJ blends. Polymer donors/acceptors are first shown to possess better water‐immersion than the small molecule counterparts. Hence, the all‐polymer blend exhibits the lowest absorbance losses after water immersion among the studied BHJ systems. Furthermore, the result reveals that tailoring the structure of the TiO2 ETL from planar to nanoparticles effectively strengthens the adhesion at the ETL/BHJ interface to prevent physical delamination. Finally, the np‐TiO2/all‐polymer blend (half‐cell) is demonstrated to have superior stability under water immersion, i.e., unchanged morphology and charge carrier transfer, as well as no efficiency changes in the complete cells. This work demonstrates the great potential of the all‐polymer blends and np‐TiO2 ETL for improving the durability of unencapsulated OPVs under high humidity environments and even water immersion.
