Maleabilidad del coto vedado en la participación ciudadana frente a la inseguridad pública. Los casos de México y Colombia

Se aborda la relación entre los postulados de la teoría democrática del “coto vedado” y la participación ciudadana frente a la inseguridad social, ya que dicha teoría postula límites en el ejercicio de la democracia para la toma de decisiones, ya sean públicas o privadas, que deben ser realizadas teniendo en cuenta los límites infranqueables que constituyen el llama-do “ámbito de negociación”, constituido por aspectos inamovibles dado su carácter fundamental o axiológico. Esos límites y ese “ámbito” de lo negociable representan, contrario sensu, una posi-bilidad de tomar decisiones (y de actuar) por parte de agentes de la sociedad (generalmente ciu-dadanos, pero pueden también ser gobernantes) a efecto de corregir problemas sociales, como la inseguridad. El punto de discusión sobre lo anterior consiste en determinar si el coto vedado podría ser maleable o no y, en caso de serlo, determinar si en la realidad podría tener un impacto deseable en la solución de ciertos problemas sociales, para lo que se analizan los casos de inse-guridad pública en México y Colombia.

Health Mindset Correlates with Health-Related Quality of Life Assessment in Adolescents with Idiopathic Scoliosis

PURPOSE Mindset theory describes two different categories: “fixed”, in which a particular personal characteristic is seen as unchangeable, and “growth”, in which the characteristic is viewed as malleable and subject to improvement. Recently, the concept of mindset has been applied to the study of health beliefs and how they influence wellness behaviors. The Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (SRS-30) is a specific instrument to measure health-related quality of life in patients with scoliosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how health mindset correlates with an adolescent’s health-related …

GROWTH MINDSET IN THE CLASSROOM

Mindsets are our beliefs and thoughts about ability, traits, intelligence and success. A student with a growth mindset thinks that intelligence is malleable whilst a student with a fixed mindset thinks that intelligence is stable. Students with fixed mindsets do not put much effort into learning. Dweck formed the concept of mindset in 2006 after many years of researching mindset. In recent research, many interventions on mindset were undertaken and results showed that growth mindset is worth examining. The purpose of this study is to review literature about growth mindset related to learning, explore the effect of interventions on growth mindset and examine what teachers can do to encourage a growth mindset in children.

Masculine Discrepancy Stress and Psychosocial Maladjustment: Implications for Behavioral and Mental Health of Adolescent Boys.

Gender role discrepancy (GRD), or nonconformity to socially prescribed gender roles, has been linked to a multitude of adverse mental and behavioral health outcomes. Masculine discrepancy stress (MDS), stress about being perceived not to conform to one's gender role, may explain the relationship between GRD and deleterious health outcomes. However, research on MDS has primarily been restricted to adult males. This leaves a critical gap pertaining to the potential effect of MDS on adolescent boys, who may be more malleable and susceptible to the influence and pressures of gender socialization. In the current study, data are drawn from a sample of adolescent male students (N = 592) who completed self-report questionnaires. We employed structural equation modeling to test the effects of GRD and MDS on psychosocial maladjustment measured via sexual behavior, substance use, violence, mood disorder symptoms, and hopelessness. In addition, we controlled for critical risk factors including sociodemographic characteristics, adverse childhood experiences, trauma symptoms, and neighborhood disorganization. Findings indicate significant potentiating effects of MDS on maladjustment while there were direct protective effects of GRD. These data suggest that developing prevention strategies that incorporate social norms pertaining to gender socialization may have an impact on multiple behavioral and mental health problems.

Motion and Stress Analysis of Cam System for Marine Diesel Engine 93 KW

The developments of maritime sector in Indonesia shows increasing demand for ships. Especially ships with size of 30 GT has problem with low availability of the ship engine, which most of the ships still use non marine diesel engine as its main propulsion. The problem gives interest to make a step to improve by design marine diesel engine using reverse engineering method. Cam system of marine diesel engine design was needed to be calculate to select the material and the motion. The design of cam system needs study about the stress analysis in cam system to make sure the distribution of force and moment. The result of stress analysis was used to select material of components in cam system. The motion analysis result was used to be input data of stress analysis. The condition to obtain the stress of components was on maximum condition, its contain pressure, torque, rotation, and force. All component that calculated are camshaft, lifter (flat-tappet), push rod, rocker arm, spring, and valve. Each component was given two different materials and material selection was based on safety factor of each component. Material for camshaft and lifter were malleable cast iron, for push rod and rocker arm were mild steel, for spring was ASTM A231, for intake valve was steel JIS SUH3, and for exhaust valve was steel JIS SUH35. The result of motion analysis were angular velocity of camshaft with value was 2400 deg/sec, friction force between camshaft and lifter with maximum value was 125.393 N, and contact force between camshaft and lifter with maximum value was 845.307 N, and linear velocity of intake valve with maximum value was 696.573 mm/s, and linear velocity of exhaust valve was 463.734 mm/s.

Clipping techniques in cerebral aneurysm surgery.

The history of cerebral aneurysm surgery owes a great tribute to the tenacity of pioneering neurosurgeons who designed and developed the clips used to close the aneurysms neck. However, until the beginning of the past century, surgery of complex and challenging aneurysms was impossible due to the lack of surgical microscope and commercially available sophisticated clips. The modern era of the spring clips began in the second half of last century. Until then, only malleable metal clips and other non-metallic materials were available for intracranial aneurysms. Indeed, the earliest clips were hazardous and difficult to handle. Several neurosurgeons put their effort in developing new clip models, based on their personal experience in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Finally, the introduction of the surgical microscope, together with the availability of more sophisticated clips, has allowed the treatment of complex and challenging aneurysms. However, today none of the new instruments or tools for surgical therapy of aneurysms could be used safely and effectively without keeping in mind the lessons on innovative surgical techniques provided by great neurovascular surgeons. Thanks to their legacy, we can now treat many types of aneurysms that had always been considered inoperable. In this article, we review the basic principles of surgical clipping and illustrate some more advanced techniques to be used for complex aneurysms.

离子液体添加剂对无氰电镀黄铜性能的影响

There are two methods to electroplate of brass for steel cords.One is thermal diffusion method which consists of copper plating, zinc plating and thermal diffusion.The other one is cyanidation which needs to use cyanides as complexing agents.The former is a process of high energy consumption, and the latter involves cyanides which is hypertoxic.Aiming at these problems, ionic liquids, used as additives, were added into the non-cyanide electroplating baths to improve the performances of the brass coatings.The morphology, thickness, composition and structure of the obtained brass coatings were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD.The effect of the ionic liquid on the electroplating process was studied by cyclic voltammetry.The results showed that the ionic liquid, [OMIM]HSO4, was an effective additive.When 10-15 mg/L of [OMIM]HSO4 was added into the bath which was composed of K4P2O7·3H2O 200-270 g/L, CuSO4·5H2O 1-2 g/L, ZnSO4·7H2O 35-45 g/L and H2O2(30%) 0.1-0.6 mL/L, brass coatings which were uniform, compact, good adhesive and malleable were prepared.

Use of a malleable bougie and curved forceps with videolaryngoscopy in airway management training in a cadaver model - a pilot study.

The wider angle of view of videolaryngoscopy versus standard direct laryngoscopy requires an assessment of the adjunctive devices used to facilitate intubation. In this study, subjects performed malleable bougie-assisted intubation and curved forceps removal of a glottic foreign body using videolaryngoscopy on a lightly embalmed cadaver and completed a post-procedure questionnaire. All subjects valued access to the malleable bougie available at their hospitals and 82% valued access to the curved forceps. Malleable bougie and curved forceps seem well-suited to facilitate videolaryngoscopic airway management.

Review of Generation of Time Table Using Genetic Algorithm Implemented in Java

An educational timetabling is a multi-dimensional and highly constrained problem. Making educational timetables manually often involves number of rounds of changes before they can be satisfied. In Fact such a process can be time consumings, and often the quality of the timetables is compromised due to pressure to release the TT on time. Automatic generation of timetables then seems to be an attractive to manual approach. But this approach is with problems. In reality, most timetabling problems are NP-complete and most professors and researchers are interested in developing efficient algorithms for solving the time table problem. In this, a college timetable problem formulation is introduced lowed by recent approaches for solving the problem. After that, a genetic algorithm (GA) is presented to efficiently and effectively solve the problem. The proposed GA has a malleable (flexible) representation that handles all the college timetables at once. It includes repair strategies to always guarantee the creation of a feasible timetable which satisfies constraints that must not be destroyed. The algorithm is implemented and applied to create timetables for the Arab Academy for Science and Technology (AAST) in Egypt and it shows promising results. Keywords— Genetic Algorithm (GA), Time Table Problem (TTP), Non Polynomial Problem (NP-Problem), Chromosome, Fitness, Mutation, Crossover.

Behavioral and EEG effects of working memory updating training in children with learning disabilities

Working memory (WM) is a cognitive system that stores and processes information continuously for a few seconds, is suggested to be malleable and to affect learning. Children with learning disabilities (LD) have deficits in working. Consequently, the prospect of training WM and thereby not only expanding WM capacity but also improving reasoning abilities or helping to overcome cognitive deficits stimulated a growing number of studies evaluating effects of WM training (for reviews, see Klingberg, 2010). Our previous training on working memory updating tasks can improve performance on that task, an effect that can also generalize to other domains (Zhao, Zhou, & Fu, 2013).

Habitat selection in the fossorial toad Pelobates fuscus insubricus (Amphibia: Pelobatidae): does the soil affect species occurrence?

For their rapid and alarming decline, the Italian populations of the Italian spadefoot toad ( Pelobates fuscus insubricus ) are of high conservation importance. In this study we examined habitat use by the spadefoot toads in north-west Italy, where one of the largest remaining populations lives. We used compositional analysis and logistic regression models to elaborate land-use and soil composition in order to determine the habitat preferences of the spadefoot toads. We found that the two main variables predicting the occurrence of spadefoot toads in the study area were the percentages of sandy-loam soil texture and the presence of Entisols. Our results showed that spadefoot toads preferred soils that keep soft and malleable structure: Entisols with sand texture, where sand represents the major component, and mature soils, with a high degree of pedogenesis and a relatively high natural fertility and humidity. Conversely, Pelobates fuscus avoids Inceptisols, probably too hard to be dug by the species. This study demonstrates that, at least in the Italian range, the choice of areas in which to reintroduce P. fuscus , or where re-create favourable habitats for it, must take into account the soil types, which, in intensely cultivated areas, seems to be decisive for the possibility of survival of the species in the medium and long time.
