Exclusion within the Exclusion: Immigrant and Refugee Women and Girls | Author : Xanthippi Foulidi, Evangelos C. Papakitsos, Terpsichori Gioka | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This particular paper has been focused on the multiple discriminations suffered by women and on the problems that
they face in the field of refuging and immigration, as recorded to a large extent through informal interviewing of public agencies
staff that are involved in this issue. Migrant women are described as “exclusion within the exclusion”, while pointing to the
efforts of public agencies in European Union and especially Greece, such as the General Secretariat for Gender Equality, to
address the problem. |
| Evaluation of the Alcalis and Sulfur Cycle in Clinker Kilns | Author : Javier Alejandro Feijoó Caraballo, José A. Fabelo Falcón, Iván L. Rodríguez Rico | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :In the present work an analysis was made of the formation of crusts or rings in clinker kilns of cement factories in
Cuba and Argentina because these formations are one of the most serious problems presented by the kiln areas, which bring
with them, stops unnecessary of the entities.
With the use of phenomenological models, general parameters were determined, as well as several residence times of the
ovens, as appropriate. In addition, several balances were made in a general way and specifically in several scenarios with the
Matlab software in function of the different compounds that enter the furnace or that are formed within it, taking sulfur and
sodium as main substances of study, in order , to determine several aspects of them, such as: their influence on the formation of
the rings, the quantities present in the system, their main reactions, their behavior in normal operating contexts and in
conditions of instability, as well as possible solutions for its mitigation and control in kilns.
The calculations showed that sulfur and sodium should be managed close to the parameters established by the entities for a
good operation of the ovens, thus avoiding unnecessary stops due to ring formation. |
| Gender in Sociolinguistics: A Concise Review on Linguistic Sexism | Author : Xanthippi Foulidi, Terpsichori Gioka, Evangelos C. Papakitsos | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Until recently, Biology explained the socially “normal”, in the Social Sciences as well. The biological difference (and
the different anatomical characteristics) entailed the difference of roles according to Sex (male, female) and influenced the
perception that each person had for himself/herself (“biologization”). During the last years, the “de-biologization” of the
sciences has essentially been achieved, including the science of Linguistics, by introducing into them the analytical category of
“gender”. Since the 1980s, the counterbalance between biological and social gender was disputed and it was argued that gender
is exclusively a construction of society and culture. A strong opinion, in the context of the above construction, is that the
Discourse and language reflect hierarchical/empowering social realities, which are not “innocent” towards gender inequalities
and discriminations. Consequently, the grid of predominant gendered prejudices and stereotypes is reproduced and
perpetuated through them, depending on the historical and cultural conditions. A concise historical review of that issue is
presented in this paper. |
| Do we Need Prophylactic Salphingectomy for Ovary Preserving in Hysterectomy | Author : Eddy Hartono | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Ovarian carcinoma was believed to had arised from fallopian tubes and then spread to ovarian surface and
peritoneum. In addition, Lack of ovarian lesion precursor identified and the fact that bilateral salphingo-Oopherectomy
performed to protect women with BRCA mutations from ovarian carcinoma lead many authors postulated that fallopian tube is
probably the origin of serous ovarian carcinoma. Lately, initial form of serous carcinoma in fallopian tubes of women with BRCA
mutation has been identified and this precursor lesion is known as STIC (serous tubal intraepitelial carcinoma).Prophylactic BSO
in high risk women (with BRCA mutation) after completed parity may reduce risk of ovarian carcinoma dramatically (80%).
Meanwhile, prophylactic salpingectomy as an alternative may suffice to prevent ovarian carcinoma if we could ensure that
serous ovarian carcinoma arise from tubal fimbriae. |
| Hydrosalpinx Cutting or Fixing? | Author : Eddy Hartono | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Hydrosalpinx is a fluid-filled distension of the fallopian tube with concurrent distal tubal occlusion.Hydrosalpinxassociated
infertility is supposed to be treated only by IVF. Furthermore, salpingectomy plays a crucial role prior to IVF and
scientific evidences have shown that it may improve pregnancy outcomes compared to functional surgery by removing the toxic
effects of hydrosalpinx. However, functional surgery may be the excellent option in developing countries or in cases with specific
characteristics. Functional surgery (i.e. fimbrioplasty, salpingostomy, microsurgical tubocornual anastomosis) may be amenable
to performed in hydrosalpinges. Fimbioplasty, salpingostomy, and microsurgical tubocornual anastomosis may increase
pregnancy rate by 53%, 30%, and 80% respectively. Thin-walled hydrosalpinges with mucosal adhesions had a higher rate of
tubal pregnancy, whereas thick-walled hydrosalpinges with fibrosis of the wall were not compatible with normal pregnancy.
Functional surgery is, therefore, indicated in patients with thin-walled hydrosalpinges with minimal or no mucosal
adhesions.Studies have shown that laparoscopic salpingectomy improves IVF outcomes. It should be performed only when
hydrosalpinges are unable to be repaired or in cases of IVF failure. Functional tubal surgery should be preferred to
salpingectomy in milder forms of tubal disease or in developing countries. Proper assessment of tubal mucosa of hydrosalpinges
should be performed prior to surgical treatment as this will prevent mis-management of patients. |
| To The "Potential Development Zone" of the University Center in "Calixto García" Municipality | Author : MSc. Norton Ignacio Peña Aguilera, MSc. Jorge Luis Reyes López, MSc. Francisco Infante Estrabao, MSc. Noriel Reynaldo Rodríguez, Esp. Gisela Margarita Rodríguez Cedeño, MSc. Irina Reyes Martínez, | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The work had as object of study the process of integration of Higher Education in Cuban municipalities, due to the
novelty of it and the lack of management tools to carry it out. A historical study was made of the process of universalization of
Cuban Higher Education with its particularities in the Calixto García municipality of Holguín province, Cuba; all of it constitutes
an instrument of invaluable value for the historical, logical and prospective studies related to this subject. The objective of the
research was to demonstrate that the integration process of Higher Education in the municipality of Calixto García was
successful from the implementation of a procedure for this purpose and the evaluation of the results in basic indicators of the
substantive processes before, during and after the integration. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods used during the
research process. The procedure constitutes a theoretical-practical contribution to the process of conception and organization
of the integration of Higher Education in the municipalities and at the same time, it is an important methodological and
organizational instrument. Its application corroborated its effectiveness and relevance when a significant increase in quality
detected in the main indicators of the substantive processes in the Calixto García Municipal University Center during the 2015-
2016 academic year to 2016-2017. |
| Groundwater Quality Dynamics during Wet and Dry Incidents in Urban West Region of Zanzibar Island | Author : Abdul A.J. Mohamed, Rashid M. Ali, Miza Kombo | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Groundwater is the major source of water by inhabitants of Zanzibar communities. In this study, twenty-one water
sources from three districts of Urban West Region of Unguja Island were studied in May to July 2019. Insitu measurements for
temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Electrical Conductivity (EC) in groundwater sources were taken by Professional
Digital Sampling System (ProDSS). Data analysis revealed that parameters undergo dynamics (spatial and temporal). During the
wet period, the ranges of pH, DO and EC were: (4.98 – 7.50), (3.51 – 7.51 mg/L), and (156.2 – 2047.6 µS/cm) respectively. During
dry period the ranges were: (5.14 – 7.41), (2.71 – 7.20 mg/L), and (223.1 – 1936.8 µS/cm) respectively. temperature and EC had
positive relationship. Nevertheless, small change in groundwater temperature led a remarkable change in DO. Strong correlation
existed between EC and salinity (R2 = 0.999). Also, a strong correlation existed between EC (dry period) and EC (wet period) with
R2 = 0.896. During wet period, the mean values recorded for all studied parameters were: 27.87° C, 6.92, 782.85 µS/cm, and 5.44
mg/L for temperature, pH, EC, and DO, respectively. While, during dry period the values were: 27.83° C, 6.97, 743.80 µS/cm, and
5.12 mg/L for temperature, pH, EC, and DO, respectively. Remarkably, during wet period, pH was 4.98 (27.17° C - 28.88° C),
while in dry period pH was 5.14 (26.74 - 28.83° C). The present study revealed that even slight change in temperature could
cause a remarkable effect on other groundwater parameters specifically dissolved oxygen. If water DO is under pressure it might
affect other water quality parameter significantly. |
