de Campos Kajimoto, Natalia,de Paiva Buischi, Yvonne,Loomer, Peter Michael,Bromage, Timothy G.,Ervolino, Edilson,Fucini, Stephen Enrico,Pola, Natalia Marcumini,Pirovani, Beatriz Ommati,Morabito, Maria Korean Academy of Periodontology 2021 Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science Vol.51 No.-

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of locally delivered 1% alendronate (ALN) gel used as an adjunct to non-invasive periodontal therapy. Methods: Ligature-induced periodontitis was performed in 96 rats. The ligature was tied in the cervical area of the mandibular left first molar. The animals were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1) NT, no treatment; 2) SRP, scaling and root planning; 3) SRP/PLA, SRP followed by filling the periodontal pocket with placebo gel (PLA); and 4) SRP/ALN, SRP followed by filling the periodontal pockets with 1% ALN gel. Histomorphometric (percentage of bone in the furcation region [PBF]) and immunohistochemical (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand, osteoprotegerin, and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) analyses were performed. Data were statistically analyzed, with the threshold of statistical significance set at P≤0.05. Results: The SRP, SRP/PLA, and SRP/ALN groups presented a higher PBF than the NT group (P≤0.01) at 7, 15, and 30 days. The SRP/ALN group presented a higher PBF than the SRP/PLA group in all experimental periods, as well as a higher PBF than the SRP group at 15 and 30 days. No differences were observed in the immunohistochemical analyses (P>0.05 for all). Conclusions: Locally delivered 1% ALN gel used as an adjunct to SRP enhanced bone regeneration in the furcation region in a rat model of experimental periodontitis.

DIALOGISMO Y HEGEMONÍA KIRCHNERISTA. APORTES PARA UN ANÁLISIS DE SU DISCURSO

Natalia C. Del Cogliano Institute of Iberoamerican Studies Pusan Universit 2012 International Journal of Latin American Studies Vol.2 No.-

Resumen. El estudio de la materia discursiva en las praxis políticas contemporáneas tiene una vigencia particular en el escenario político actual argentino, en el que la disputa por el uso de la palabra devino foco de atención. Centrándose en dicho terreno, este trabajo aborda un discurso del ex-presidente argentino Néstor Kirchner. Para ello se retoman los enfoques de dos grandes teóricos: Bajtín y Laclau. Ambas perspectivas confluyen en la forma en que el lenguaje opera como terreno primario para la constitución de lo político. Esto se manifiesta de dos modos: por el carácter dialógico propio de la enunciación y por una dinámica de fuerzas que pujan por la determinación del sentido. El discurso puede entenderse como un complejo de elementos en el que las relaciones juegan un rol constitutivo por estar la totalidad implicada en cada acto individual de significación. El mismo se despliega en un ámbito de luchas por la definición y la apropiación de los signos, que en Bajtín aparece como una batalla ideológica por la fijación de significados, y en Laclau, como una operación hegemónica que un particular intenta trasladarse a una instancia de representación de un universal tendencialmente vacío, proceso del cual Néstor Kirchner fue cabal representante. Abstract. The study of discourse in the current political practice is of particular importance in Argentina’s present political scenario, where the dispute over the use of the word became centre of attention. Focusing on this field of inquiry, this paper studies a speech given by the former Argentinean president Nestor Kirchner. In order to do so, two major theoretical approaches will be considered: those of Mikhail Bakhtin and Ernesto Laclau. Both perspectives converge in the sense that language operates as a primary site for the constitution of politics. Discourse can be understood as a complex compound of elements in which relations play a constitutive role for being all involved in each individual act of significance. This is displayed in a field defined by the struggle for the definition and ownership of the signs, which according to Bakhtin appears as an ideological battle for the fixation of meanings, whereas at Laclau, it consists of a hegemonic operation where a particular tries to move to an instance of representation of a tendentially empty universal, a process of which Kirchner was fully representative.

Advent of a new civilization project: Eurasia in – U.S. out?

Natalia Eremina 한양대학교 아태지역연구센터 2016 Journal of Eurasian Studies Vol.7 No.2

International relations present the picture of integration and disintegration processes in vast territories stimulating different types of states' unions that have become the key points of international relations. Therefore the bulk of questions should be referred to the relationships between the states and the territory. This approach creates a geopolitical paradox revealing that the states' positions depend exactly on the territory and their geographical disposition, for instance, on distance from each other. So, the idea of shared territory and history allowed many European states to build up the European Union (EU). And now we are witnessing the same integration processes in the territory of ex-the USSR (Eurasian Economic Union), which is open for huge international actors like China, India and so on. It is of crucial importance to notify that these two international integration projects are in the territory of Eurasia. At the same time the majority of the EU member states are also connected with or even integrated into another international organization – NATO – with the United States (US) as the head and leader. It makes a clear division between the Atlantic macro-region and the Pacific macro-region underlying the role of the US in the contemporary international system. This role is unique but often hasty and irresponsible. Observation of the US's foreign politics through a geographical approach gives a perfect explanation of that. The US is simply geographically remote (despite the jet planes) from these two integration unions (from Eurasia) that allows them to feel the hegemon and influence the international processes there being at a distance. Therefore the main question nowadays is if the US can sustain their world leadership they have been claiming for, and that is what we aim to address in this article.

A Survey of Routing Protocols for Maximizing the Lifetime of Ad Hoc Wireless Networks

Natalia Vassileva,Francisco Barcelo-Arroyo 보안공학연구지원센터 2008 International Journal of Software Engineering and Vol.2 No.3

The principal focus of this survey is on how to maximize the useful lifetime of ad hoc wireless networks through energy-efficient routing. Most of the studies on energy-aware routing protocols do not provide clear-cut notions about a network’s lifetime and therefore there is a lack of clear objectives in the design of algorithms. Hence, first the operational lifetime of ad hoc networks is defined. Then, published works that give solutions to energy-based problems are analysed by placing emphasis on common characteristics and drawbacks. It is aimed to reveal the factors that influence the depletion of energy in ad hoc networks. This should aid the design of energy-efficient solutions. Load balancing routing protocols are also surveyed as a means for extending a network’s operational lifespan, which is a technique that is overlooked in the literature. The immediate implications that load balancing has for energy consumption are indicated. Subsequently, a classification of load balancing routing protocols is provided along with a summary of load balancing methods that may be useful for efficient energy consumption.

Objective: A study was conducted to determine the chemical composition of banana meal and rice bran from Australia or South-East Asia and test the hypothesis that there are no differences in rice bran produced in different countries, but there are differences between full-fat and defatted rice bran. Methods: Two sources of banana meal and 22 sources of rice bran (full-fat or defatted) from Australia or South-East Asia were used. All samples were analyzed for dry matter, gross energy, nitrogen, amino acids (AA), acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), ash, minerals, total starch, insoluble dietary fiber, and soluble dietary fiber. Banana meal was also analyzed for sugars including glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, stachyose, and raffinose. Results: Chemical analysis demonstrated that banana meal from the Philippines is primarily composed of starch. Full-fat rice bran from Australia had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of AEE, lysine, and glycine than samples from the Philippines and Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran from Australia and Thailand had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of gross energy and most AA than rice bran from Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran from Australia had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of tryptophan and manganese than all other sources, but full-fat rice bran from the Philippines contained less (p<0.05) zinc than all other sources of rice bran. Gross energy, AEE, and copper were greater (p<0.05) in full-fat rice bran compared with defatted rice bran, but defatted rice bran contained more (p<0.05) crude protein, ash, insoluble dietary fiber, total dietary fiber, AA, and some minerals than full-fat rice bran. Conclusion: Banana meal is a high-energy source that can be used as an alternative ingredient in livestock diets. Full-fat rice bran from Australia and Thailand contained more concentrations of AEE and AA than samples from the Philippines or Vietnam. Full-fat rice bran had more gross energy and AEE than defatted rice bran, whereas defatted rice bran contained more crude protein, ash, and total dietary fiber.

Volatility Transmission and Correlation Analysis between the USA and Asia: The Impact of the Global Financial Crisis

NATALIA VALLS,HELENA CHULIA 연세대학교 동서문제연구원 2012 Global economic review Vol.41 No.2

This paper examines volatility transmission and conditional correlations behaviour between the US and the Asian stock markets considering the effect of the Global Financial crisis. One Asian mature market and 10 emerging markets are included in the sample. To carry out the analysis, we use a multivariate asymmetric GARCH model. Results show that there exists volatility transmission between the US and the Asian markets. Moreover, it is found that, after the crisis, volatility transmission patterns have barely changed. Finally, results suggest that the lower the country‘s level of development, the lower the correlation with the USA.
