La violencia en Venezuela: Dimensionamiento y políticas de control

Para presentar nuestro trabajo hemos optado por comenzar con la fuente de conocimiento más obvia, las estadísticas policiales. En la primera parte analizaremos las dificultades de trabajar con ellas y el uso que hemos hecho. En la segunda parte analizaremos los datos que nos proporciona esta fuente. En la última, los datos de otras fuentes, de otras voces que nos permiten percibir las limitaciones de las estadísticas policiales y profundizar el conocimiento: una encuesta de victimización y los datos de la morgue de Caracas.

What social solutions can be implemented to integrate University College Cork students into community life within Magazine Road and surrounding areas?

The aim of this research piece explored the positive partnerships and existing initiatives that can enable pro social interaction between Residents of Magazine Road and Surrounding Areas, first year students that attend University College Cork, and University College Cork. The objective of this work analysed literature and policy within a local, national and international context. An online survey was administered to first year students which resulted in fifteen to twenty six student responses. The survey examined students attitudes while living and studying in University College Cork. Whilst the number of respondents is relatively low, it showed that existing initiatives within UCC are robust however they are not well known to the student population. It was found that while student experiences are overall positive with UCC they were not translating out to the community of Magazine road and surrounding areas. Based on this study, it is recommended that further research into this topic would benefit the students and community. The expansion of the Neighbourhood Support Officer role to integrate UCC and the student population into the surrounding communities

Lipoprotein (a) estimation in premature coronary artery disease

Significant difference in mean Lipoprotein(a) level was observed between the premature Coronary Artery Disease patients and controls. The mean values of serum Triglycerides, LDL, Total cholesterol, LDL-C, Total-C/HDL-C ratio and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio were found to be higher in premature Coronary Artery Disease patients when compared to controls. In patients with Premature Coronary Artery Disease, higher Lipoprotein(a) levels were observed in female sex, those with family history of Coronary Artery Disease, Smokers, and Diabetics than in male sex, those without family history of Coronary Artery Disease, non-smokers and nondiabetics. There is no significant difference in mean Lipoprotein(a) levels between hypertensives and Normotensives in premature Coronary Artery Disease patients. Higher Lipoprotein(a) levels were observed in all premature Coronary Artery Disease patients with hypercholesterolemia, high LDL levels, low HDL levels and hypertriglyceridemia than those patients with normal serum lipid profile. No significant difference in Lipoprotein(a) levels was observed with respect to age in premature Coronary Artery Disease patients. Alcoholics had lower levels of serum Lipoprotein(a) compared to the Non-alcoholics with coronary artery disease

Uji Kelayakan Soal Pilihan Ganda HOTS Melalui Penerapan Anates Kelas XII MPLB SMKN 1 Surabaya

Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi kualitas 10 butir soal mata pelajaran Dasar-Dasar Manajemen Perkantoran pada materi dokumen berbasis digital pada 15 siswa/i di kelas XII SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya.

Study on Shear Strengthening of RC Continuous Beams with Different CFRP Wrapping Schemes

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation for enhancing the shearcapacity of reinforced concrete (RC) continuous beams using different CFRP wrappingschemes. A total of five concrete beams were tested and various sheet configurations andlayouts were studied to determine their effects on ultimate shear strength and shear capacity ofthe beams. One beam was kept as control beams, while other beams were strengthened withexternally bonded CFRP strips with four or three sides bonding and one or two layers ofCFRP strips. From the test results, it was found that all schemes were found to be effective inenhancing the shear strength of RC beams. It was observed that the strength increases with thenumber of sheet layers and four sides wrap provided the most effective strengthening for RCcontinuous beam. Beam strengthened using this scheme showed 54% increase in shearcapacity as compared to the control beam. Two prediction models available in literature wereused for computing the contribution of CFRP strips and compared with the experimentalresults

The effect of metacognitive interpersonal therapy on the marital quality of narcissistic man

شخصیت نقشی اساسی در روابط زناشویی دارد. خودشیفتگی به علت رویکرد متمرکز بر خود، فقدان همدلی و خشونت مانع از ایجاد روابط صمیمانه می­شود. درمان خودشیفتگی با موفقیت امکان‌پذیر است، اما نیاز به یک درک کامل از آسیب‌شناسی و روش­های بالینی مناسب دارد. درمان بین فردی فراشناختی (MIT) برای درمان خودشیفتگی فرایندی گام ‌به‌  گام اتخاذ می­کند که منجر به کاهش تدریجی فرایندهای خودشیفتگی می­شود. پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی تأثیر درمان بین­فردی فراشناختی بر کیفیت زناشویی مرد خودشیفته انجام ‌گرفته است. به­علت عمیق بودن مشکلات شخصیت و طولانی بودن درمان روش پژوهش حاضر پژوهش موردی است. در این مطالعه، آزمودنی مرد 28 ساله بود که با استفاده از مصاحبه بالینی و پرسشنامه­ی شخصیت خودشیفته (NPI-40) مبتلا به مشکلات زناشویی و خودشیفتگی تشخیص داده شد. درمان بین­فردی فراشناختی بیست ‌و یک جلسه و در طول یک سال انجام شد. نتیجه در ابعاد مختلف کیفیت زناشویی برای مرد و زن یکسان نبود و مسائل فرهنگی نیز نقش مهمی در فرایند درمان داشتند. اما به‌طورکلی، درمان باعث افزایش کیفیت زناشویی فرد و همسرش شد

Avaliação do consumo de alimentos fontes de cálcio e a frequência de doenças ósseas em idosos atendidos na policlínica da terceira idade do município de Caruaru

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a ingestão diária de cálcio e verificar a frequência de doenças ósseas em idosos atendidos na policlínica da terceira idade do município de Caruaru/PE. Foi aplicado um questionário de frequência alimentar (QFA) para avaliar a ingestão diária de cálcio. Verificou-se que dos participantes 61,49% apresentaram doenças ósseas, sendo 95,60% do sexo feminino e 4,40% do sexo masculino. Em relação ao consumo de leite e seus derivados foi visto uma baixa ingestão diária. Já sobre os vegetais, observou-se que a população estudada apresentou um consumo de 36,49% de alface. Dessa forma, pode-se observar que os resultados mostraram que há uma necessidade na elaboração de novos estudos que pesquisem de maneira mais detalhada o consumo de cálcio nessa população. Além de atuarem visualizando a implementação de políticas públicas voltadas para a população idosa garantindo tanto a informação da importância desse nutriente como a criação de programas de suplementação do cálcio
