Authors: Duisenov Erkin Ermanovich , Kalisheva Nazhiya Khusainovna
Published: October 2024

The subject of article was the discussion by the scientific community of the country of the draft Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Science and Technology Policy" and, in this regard, to try to find a solution to some of the problems existing in research activities. The authors of the article discuss concepts that are an important basis for the form and content of the future law, because the conceptual documents outline in detail the priorities of the development of science in important spheres of life of the Kazakh society, substantiate the demand for the adoption of this law. The authors of the article, for example, see the main problem as the lack of communication between the scientific self-supporting centers of the university and teaching staff, who should be interested in commercializing their scientific product. The characteristics of the state of legal regulation through comparative analysis should show the advantages of foreign law enforcement practice and how to properly use their positive experience for the development of legislation in their own country. The future Law on Science and Technology Policy should radically change approaches and generate trends. Of interest are the problems raised by the author in the field of science and technological development, the preparation of scientific research in higher educational institutions, the transformation of many universities in the country into research universities, the involvement of teaching staff in collective scientific activity in the form of grant research, and of course, the issues of commercialization of Kazakh science. The final provisions of the authors of the study boil down to the fact that the new Law on Science should work only if the vector is changed towards the integration of science and business, where business structures will really help scientists achieve the highest results in the implementation of commercialization projects, by involving university teaching staff in research activities, so that they implement their scientific results in education, in the future they opened new production facilities, in order to organize new jobs, tax revenues to the budget, there must be implement a real "reset" of their system in favor of the "human-centric" component.

Published: October 2024

In the article, the author, by analyzing various points of view, proposes theoretical and practical ways to improve such a complex phenomenon of constitutional and legal reality as constitutional regulation of social relations. Considering the dynamics of the development of digitalization products and the deepening of this process, as well as its impact on constitutional matter, the lack of unified universal criteria, the author considers it necessary to invite deputies of the Senate and Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, judges of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, representatives of executive authorities, scientists to begin work on the popularization of constitutional terms reflecting the influence digitalization, initiate systematic work to include such a comprehensive document as the “Concept of constitutional regulation of the Republic of Kazakhstan”. According to the author, in addition to terms, it should also include a set of practical actions, in particular conducting constitutional monitoring, adding effective constitutional instruments such as constitutional incentives and constitutional permissions, etc. In practical terms, the concept of the development of constitutional regulation will allow us to formulate a holistic view of the directions of regulation of social relations, determine the areas of constitutional regulation, and the role of state bodies in this process. Specifying the goals, objectives, and stages of the sequence of measures that contribute to the development of constitutional regulation will ensure the improvement of constitutional regulation and will also solve several pressing problems - constitutional norms correspond to legal reality, would not allow for their arbitrary interpretation, and would establish uniform standards of behavior for subjects of legal relations. Understanding that this process will take more than one day, we note that in the opinion of the author, the state has all the necessary resources to carry out this work.

Empowering Manager Performance: The Role of Heart Leadership in Boosting Job Satisfaction and Shaping Organizational Culture at PT Perkebunan Nusantara III (Persero)
Authors: Siregar Darmansyah , Lubis Zulkarnain , Rahmadani Vivi Gusrini , Reza Aulia Muhammad , Sinulingga Mehaga Bastanta
Published: October 2024

As the highest leader in the plantation and factory, the manager controls both the positive and bad aspects of the plantation and factory. Understanding how leaders act and behave regarding their Heart, emotional intelligence, and spiritual intelligence, as well as how this relates to Performance, remains a rare phenomenon. Emotional and spiritual intelligence are directly associated with leading from the Heart. To address the gap in our understanding, this study examines the effect of a heart-centered leadership style on the productivity of oil palm plantation company managers. Previously, there has been little research on how this style relates to Performance. Indonesia's palm oil companies are pretty advanced and have cornered the global market. Applying heartfelt leadership is one technique to boost manager performance. This calls for research into how a compassionate leadership style affects the productivity of oil palm workers. This research makes use of the partial least squares technique. This study found that managers' Performance was unaffected by heartfelt leadership but that it did affect team members' happiness and company culture. When managers are happy, they perform better, but company culture has little effect. Leadership with the Heart indirectly affects manager performance through job satisfaction.

Authors: Tania Tania Journal , Erliana Cut Ita , Zakaria Muhammad
Published: October 2024

U.D. Keripik Mustika is a small and medium enterprise (SME) that processes yam raw materials into special snacks in great demand for consumption and souvenirs. According to observations, the worker experienced pain complaints during frying in the shoulder area, arms, back, waist, hands, and feet. The complaint experienced by this worker was due to the worker's posture that had to stand and bend slightly with the position of the hands continuously mixing for 7 hours a day and done manually repeatedly over long periods. This is if left, then the worker will suffer musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The research was conducted using the WERA method (Workplace Ergonomic Risk Assessment), which explains the development of ergonomic risk assessment at the workplace to detect physical risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The spread of the Nordic Body Map questionnaire on frying workers showed pain complaints from an unergonomic working posture. The study results were obtained from Employee 1, with a physical indicator score of 39 (Medium), and Employee 2, with a physical indicator score of 37 (Medium). Therefore, there is a need for improvement of the work facilities or the worker's posture. Based on the assessment results, the researchers suggested additional facilities for workers to design standing aids that reduce pain in the leg muscles and complaints of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs).

Authors: Peña Trapero Noemí , Pérez Granados Laura
Published: October 2024

Introducción. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de un proyecto de investigación que pretende analizar las repercusiones que la implementación del Plan Bolonia ha tenido sobre la formación de docentes en las universidades andaluzas quince años después de su puesta en marcha. Esta publicación en concreto centra su análisis en las características del conocimiento que se trabaja en una de las ocho facultades estudiadas (Universidad de Córdoba), equiparándolo de manera categórica a aquel que, según los referentes pedagógicos, se acerca al que desarrolla competencias profesionales docentes (objeto por el cual se puso en marcha el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior). Método. Para ello se lleva a cabo un estudio cualitativo basado en entrevistas en profundidad realizadas a diferentes agentes universitarios, así como de una exhaustiva revisión documental. Resultados y discusión. Para finalizar, tras una aproximación de resultados en la que se evidencian claras tendencias tecnocráticas en la formación universitaria, se retoma el debate que se abrió en su momento sobre el sentido de la formación universitaria del futuro profesorado.
Prohibición del móvil en centros educativos: revisión sistemática de la literatura
Authors: Álvarez-Álvarez Carmen , Del Arco Bravo Isabel , Flores-Alarcia Óscar , Olondriz Valverde Aleix
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. La distracción digital de los estudiantes y los problemas de convivencia ocasionados por el mal uso del teléfono móvil en los centros educativos han llevado a algunos países y centros educativos a prohibirlo. Esta medida es examinada: cómo se ha implementado, qué valoración recibe, cómo se sanciona el incumplimiento de la norma y qué ventajas e inconvenientes tiene. MÉTODO. Se ha realizado una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la prohibición del móvil en centros educativos a través de Web of Science y Scopus. Tras filtrar los resultados, hemos trabajado con 20 artículos que estudian desde enfoques diversos la medida de prohibir el móvil en los centros, poniéndose de relieve sus complejidades. RESULTADOS. Se muestran cuáles han sido las medidas adoptadas por centros y gobiernos, sus ventajas, inconvenientes y el balance que hacen los estudios sobre estas medidas. Las prohibiciones investigadas previamente, son: llevar el móvil al centro, su uso en las clases, todo tipo de pantallas en los recreos y usarlo en circunstancias concretas. Algunas ventajas de la prohibición son: disminuye la dependencia, mejora los resultados escolares y disminuye la distracción. Algunos inconvenientes son: que los estudiantes no pueden emplearlo para resolver sus dudas y que los centros deben fijar normas muy claras y hacerlas cumplir con rigurosidad. CONCLUSIONES. A pesar de que los docentes en los centros educativos ven la prohibición como una necesidad, hay muchas incongruencias en el cumplimiento de la norma, como el hecho de que muchos estudiantes llevan el móvil al centro y lo usan, arriesgándose a ser sancionados. Habría que plantear el debate sobre la prohibición no en términos punitivos, sino positivos, trabajando en el logro de unas normas consensuadas respecto a qué es un uso moderado correcto, qué es un uso abusivo y qué debe estar prohibido.

Authors: Paz Saavedra Luis Eduardo , Gisbert Cervera Mercè
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. En el presente artículo se analizan los resultados de una investigación en torno a la relación entre la competencia digital docente (CDD) y el uso de tecnologías digitales (TD) como apoyo a la educación superior en la Universidad de Nariño (Colombia); esto incluye la evaluación de uso de recursos educativos digitales, dispositivos tecnológicos y diferentes tipos de herramientas digitales. El objetivo es ofrecer a otras universidades un método de evaluación del uso y apropiación de estas tecnologías en el proceso educativo, de manera que puedan obtener evidencias que sustenten una toma de decisiones informada a la hora de diseñar los proyectos institucionales en el ámbito de las TD. MÉTODO: La metodología usada para la investigación fue cuantitativa, no experimental, con alcance descriptivo y correlacional. Para ello se utilizaron dos cuestionarios debidamente validados, conformados por preguntas cerradas, los cuales fueron aplicados a una muestra de 162 docentes de diferentes facultades. RESULTADOS: Los resultados indican que cerca de la mitad del profesorado hace un uso muy frecuente de diferentes herramientas, contenidos digitales y dispositivos tecnológicos; así mismo, se demuestra que existe una estrecha relación entre la frecuencia de uso de estas tecnologías y el nivel de desarrollo de la CDD autopercibida por el profesorado. DISCUSIÓN: Para la discusión se aborda la importancia y utilidad de los resultados obtenidos, con miras al desarrollo de acciones concretas para el mejoramiento de los indicadores analizados. Así mismo, se analiza la forma en que las investigaciones en este campo brindan información muy importante para que las universidades puedan diseñar planes de mejoramiento y de aprovechamiento de las TD disponibles, tal como ocurrió en la institución objeto de estudio. El modelo de estudio que se ha desarrollado puede ser transferible a otras instituciones de Educación Superior.
Colaboración docente y generación de conocimiento educativo: la visión del profesorado
Authors: Verástegui Martínez Macarena , Sánchez Hernández Ignacio , Pérez Rubio Karen
Published: October 2024

La colaboración docente permite al colectivo profesional culminar los procesos de generación de conocimiento educativo a partir de la práctica. La visión del profesorado supone una dimensión de comprensión fundamental sobre el fenómeno. Esta investigación explora las percepciones del profesorado sobre el conocimiento educativo durante el desarrollo de un programa formativo basado en dinámicas colaborativas de interdependencia: discusión sistemática, observación entre iguales, sistematización y transferencia (INTRODUCCIÓN). Se siguió una metodología cualitativa que incluyó la realización de entrevistas antes y después de la formación a 13 docentes participantes y 2 grupos de discusión con 12 docentes no participantes. Se analizó si estas percepciones dependen y varían en función de la participación en dinámicas colaborativas. El análisis se hizo a través de dos vías: inter-participantes y por temáticas, desde un enfoque deductivo que sigue el Modelo Sistémico de Conocimiento Educativo Docente (Verástegui y Úbeda, 2022) e inductivo, obteniendo información sobre la coherencia y las contradicciones de las respuestas (MÉTODO). Los principales hallazgos indican que las definiciones son consistentes y que su percepción no varía significativamente, aunque han aparecido ambivalencias que reflejan algunos problemas estructurales que pueden estar dificultando la integración de dinámicas colaborativas en la cultura profesional. De hecho, aunque esta investigación confirma la importancia de la colaboración para la construcción de conocimiento educativo, hemos reafirmado que sigue siendo una experiencia escasa y residual en los centros (RESULTADOS). Por último, la investigación amplía los estudios orientados a recoger la percepción del profesorado en pro de favorecer políticas bottom-up e institucionalizar un desarrollo profesional colaborativo dirigido a la construcción de conocimiento educativo (DISCUSIÓN Y PROSPECTIVA).

Authors: Rocuant Urzúa Adolfo , Treviño Villarreal Ernesto , Ocete Calvo María del Carmen
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. La actitud de los estudiantes sin discapacidad (ESD) ha sido considerada como un elemento clave para lograr la inclusión de los Estudiantes en situación de Discapacidad (EeSD). No obstante, el campo de la Educación Física (EF) carece de una revisión bibliográfica centrada en los factores asociados a la conformación de actitudes inclusivas de los ESD. Esta revisión aborda esta limitante respondiendo la siguiente pregunta ¿Qué reporta la literatura respecto de los principales factores asociados a las actitudes de ESD, hacia la inclusión de EeSD al interior de la asignatura de EF? MÉTODO. Para responder a esta interrogante se consideró como referente los requerimientos la guía PRISMA, siendo analizados 25 estudios de las bases de datos Web Of Science y Scopus. RESULTADOS. Esta revisión permitió reportar resultados en torno a cinco categorías: programas de intervención (PI), diferencia entre mujeres y hombres, contacto previo, competitividad y edad. CONCLUSIONES. Los hallazgos indican que los PI son el principal factor utilizado en la promoción de actitudes favorables, la diferencia entre mujeres y hombres reafirma una tendencia a favor de las mujeres, el contacto previo con EeSD no es concluyente y requiere ser analizado con mayor profundidad, el nivel de competitividad parece actuar como una limitante y la edad presentaría una tendencia positiva.
Bullying, cyberbullying, inteligencia emocional y competencias socioemocionales y su relación con el autoconcepto social en adolescentes
Authors: Álamo Mercedes , Llorent Vicente J.
Published: October 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN. El autoconcepto social es un factor relevante para el desarrollo psicosocial del individuo que se construye a partir de características individuales y de relaciones interpersonales. En la adolescencia las relaciones interpersonales cobran una gran relevancia. Sin embargo, hay fenómenos como el bullying o cyberbullying que pueden deteriorar el autoconcepto de los adolescentes. En este sentido, es necesario profundizar en el estudio del autoconcepto sobre la dimensión social para profundizar en los factores que pueden incidir de manera positiva o negativa. Así mismo el objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de autoconcepto, qué características personales puede estar incidiendo en el autoconcepto social como también, si el bullying, cyberbullying, inteligencia emocional y competencias socioemocionales pueden incidir de manera positiva o negativa en esta dimensión del autoconcepto. MÉTODO. Se ha realizado un estudio cuantitativo ex post facto contando con una participación de 2,139 adolescentes (51.5% chicas), con una edad media de 13.79 (DT = 1.40). Los RESULTADOS apuntan que con un fuerte autoconcepto social se mejora la gestión emocional, la comprensión de las emociones de los demás y las conductas prosociales. Si bien, también se relaciona positivamente con la agresión por bullying. En contraposición el autoconcepto social se relaciona negativamente con victimización por bullying y con niveles bajos en toma de decisiones responsables. DISCUSIÓN. Los resultados animan a poner atención al desarrollo del autoconcepto social en personas vulnerables, ya que un buen autoconcepto permite un desarrollo social adecuado del individuo. Esta investigación tiene implicaciones en el avance del estudio sobre el autoconcepto social ampliando el conocimiento de los factores que pueden relacionarse con su desarrollo y de la importancia de la mejora de la convivencia escolar y de sus implicaciones en la práctica escolar.
Infrastructures of power: Governance by energy systems and infrastructure
Authors: Silvast Antti , Virtanen Mikko J.
Published: October 2024

This paper suggests a synthetization of three classic approaches to analyze infrastructures as interconnected compositions that subtly distribute power and governance. We draw upon conceptualizations within large technological systems (LTS), Internet governance, and information infrastructures (II), and connect them to our own extensive research in energy infrastructure and systems spanning over a decade. This combination serves as the bedrock for our methodological work, which we establish here as pivotal signposts for the study of governance by infrastructures. Rooted empirically in energy research, we advocate for scholars to expand these methodologies to other infrastructures, such as the Internet and II, to illustrate how governance operates across diverse infrastructural networks and their intersections. Our empirical examples draw from studies in smart grids and smart energy technologies, electricity supply management and markets, and energy computer modeling. These diverse cases are utilized to inform the proposed methodological approach.
Critical Analysis of Hybridity and Multiculturalism in the Short Story “My Son the Fanatic” by Hanif Qureshi
Authors: Bibi Gulzar
Published: October 2024

In his presented textual writings, all these approaches, i.e, multiculturalism, hybridity, cultural clashes, identity crisis, and fundamentalism, are equally measured by Hanif Qureishi beautifully. The main focus of this research is achieved using questionnaires and a critical analysis approach. Key results are extracted from the critical analysis of the text of short story My Son the Fanatic (1994) on account of religious perspectives and fundamentalism. It is observed that second-generation of immigrant families are less in touch with their primary origin as their religious identity for Muslim immigrants who have a residence in British for a long time; respectively, in this present research short story My Son The Fanatic; the case seems in an opposite direction because the represented character Ali who is counts as a second generation young man in immigrants family of Pervaiz , shows strong attachment to his religion after they realize the true impact of his origin upon their real life, therefore, he is firmly diverted to his religion and follow the actual pattern of Islam and becomes a fundamentalist figure of his time, opposite to his father. This shows nature can never change. That’s why he questioned his father in the final period: “Who is fanatic now?”
Identity Crises and the Impact of 9/11: A Post-Colonial Study of the Reluctant Fundamentalist and Khuda Kay Lye
Authors: Zaheer Safa , Adnan Muhammad , Qureshi Tajalla , Khalil Iram , Iqbal Mohsin
Published: October 2024

The current study explores the devastating aftershocks and identity crises caused by 9/11. It furthermore, presents the upheavals through two different forms of literature: The Reluctant Fundamentalist by Mohsin Hamid and the cinematic film Khuda Kay Liye by Shoaib Mansoor. The study employs a post-colonial lens, utilizing the concept of marginality to examine identity crises and the traumatic aftermath of 9/11. In addition, the study highlights the main characters of both the literary forms: novel and film, demonstrating how they face marginalization at various levels—cultural, religious, and international. The background of the study encompasses the Afghan-Russian war in 1979 and the 9/11 attacks, which profoundly affected Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, fueling terrorism and raising questions about identity. Religious figures, as the research uncovers through the character of Changez in The Reluctant Fundamentalist, were often labeled as terrorists. On the other hand, Mansoor, Maryam, and Sarmad are marginalized in Khuda Kay Liye. Mansoor faces racial prejudice in the USA, while Sarmad and Maryam encounter religious extremism in Pakistan. While weaving together the theme of identity crises, the study adopts the framework of marginality, a significant aspect of post-colonial literature. With a clear understanding of the issues, the study utilizes post-colonial theory, using Edward Said's seminal work, Orientalism. Additionally, the researcher recognizes the significance of marginality, which is central to both the genre fiction and the films The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Khuda Kay Liye.

Authors:   L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Zatilla Nurdaulet , Marcos Antonio Alonso ,   CEU Universidad San Pablo
Published: October 2024

This article examines the historical background and the state of the art of transboundary water management in the Central Asian region, which includes the republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, on one hand, and the Iberian Peninsula, which consists of the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of Portugal, on the other hand. These distances from each other regions are studied for the reason that both of them are located in arid landscapes and further climate change is posing grave challenges to transboundary water security. By highlighting the differences and similarities in the water management practices of Central Asia and the Iberian Peninsula, this article employs a path-dependence approach to shed light on new perspectives on good water management. As a result of identified opportunities, the Central Asian states could enhance their policy in the water management system and adopt new measures based on positive foreign experience.

Authors: Ngesti Rahayu Indri , Rietta Kumala Asami , Taruna Dody , Djoni Husodo Stefanus , Mayo Dagradi Eric , Sukmana Judya
Published: October 2024

Background: Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by disrupted glucose metabolism, leading to hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, often associated with Secondary Hypertension (SH). Over 80% of SH patients exhibit glucose intolerance, with nearly 30% developing T2DM. There is a strong interaction between T2DM and NAFLD, representing a complex two-way relationship that influences the prognosis of the two diseases. Catfish oil extract boasts unsaturated fatty acids, including DHA, EPA, omega-3, vitamins A, B6, B12, D, and amino acids. Objective: This study aims to assess the impact of Pangasius sp. (catfish) oil extract administration on serum AST and ALT levels, as well as liver tissue MDA and CAT levels in alloxan-induced Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Materials and Methods: Employing a pure experimental approach with a post-test-only control group design, three groups of 9 white male rats (Rattus norvegicus), along with one extra male rat, were included.K1 served as the negative control group (Wistar rats not subjected to any treatment). K2 acted as the positive control group (Wistar rats subjected to alloxan-induced diabetes at 150mg/kg BW). K3 represented the treatment group (diabetic model rats treated with catfish oil extract at 73mg/kg BW). Serum AST and ALT levels, as well as MDA and CAT levels in liver tissue, were measured at the study's conclusion. Results: The highest mean MDA levels in white rat liver tissue were K2 (3034.00 + 525.25 nmol/g), and the lowest was K3(2909.33+351.01nmol/g); the mean CAT liver tissue levels in rats the highest was K1 (1063.42+133.36U/mg), and the lowest was K3(894.78+132.93U/mg), the highest mean serum ALT levels of white rats was K2(230.34+63,58 U/L), and the lowest was K1(151.54+23.12 U/L) and the highest mean serum AST level in rats was K2(448.79+618.90U/L), and the lowest was K1(61.01+14.70U/L). Conclusion: Giving catfish oil supplementation can repair the damage in liver tissue, as evidenced by reductions in MDA levels and serum ALT and AST levels in diabetic model rats within the treatment group. Alloxan induction did not affect liver tissue CAT levels, as evidenced by a consistent decrease in liver tissue CAT levels in both the positive control and treatment groups.

Resolución de fístula y preservación de anastomosis colorrectal baja con el sistema VAC
Authors: Mariño Camacho Gabriel Adrián , Moreira Grecco Alejandro , Wonaga Andrés , Waldbaum Carlos , Salcedo Andrés , González Ballerga Esteban
Published: October 2024

La dehiscencia de la anastomosis colorrectal es una complicación postquirúrgica seria que aumenta la morbilidad, mortalidad, la duración de la internación hospitalaria y los costos de la atención médica significativamente. Su frecuencia oscila entre el 4 y el 26%. Depende, entre otros factores de riesgo, de la edad avanzada, una enfermedad maligna, el tiempo prolongado de la cirugía, la radioterapia preoperatoria y la pérdida de sangre perioperatoria o la necesidad de transfusiones. Las manifestaciones clínicas pueden ser variadas, como la presencia de dolor o distensión abdominal, la leucocitosis, la presencia de pus, meteorismo, debito fecal a través de los drenajes o de la incisión quirúrgica y, en los casos más graves, peritonitis y sepsis con falla multiorgánica. El diagnóstico precoz es fundamental y el tratamiento oportuno dependerá de su repercusión clínica. De manera inusual no requieren de una intervención terapéutica activa, pero pueden retrasar el cierre de la ostomía de protección. La mayoría de los pacientes necesitarán tratamiento con antibióticos, drenaje percutáneo o endoscópico y, en los casos con peritonitis y síndrome de respuesta inflamatoria sistémica, una intervención quirúrgica. La terapia de vacío endoluminal es una técnica endoscópica, mínimamente invasiva, que permite el drenaje y la obliteración de los espacios peri-anastomóticos con una tasa de éxito que varía del 75 al 97%, dependiendo de la precocidad del diagnóstico. Se describe el caso de una paciente de 76 años, con antecedentes de obesidad y un adenocarcinoma de recto, a la que se le realizó una anastomosis colorrectal baja y confección de ileostomía de protección, que evolucionó con una fuga anastomótica sintomática que fue exitosamente tratada con una terapia endoscópica de vacío.

Published: October 2024

La colitis ulcerosa es un tipo de enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal, caracterizada por una inflamación mucosa crónica, que se inicia en el recto y se extiende proximalmente de forma continua. Es considerada una condición de alto riesgo de desarrollar cáncer colorrectal, por lo cual es fundamental la vigilancia endoscópica. Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 80 años con diagnóstico de colitis ulcerosa extensa de 35 años de evolución. En la colonoscopía de vigilancia, se evidencia una lesión de crecimiento lateral, no granular, pseudodeprimida, de 30 mm de diámetro, en la topografía del recto medio. Dadas las características de lesión, se decide una resección mediante la técnica de disección submucosa endoscópica. El procedimiento se realizó sin complicaciones. La disección submucosa endoscópica es una técnica avanzada, que permite la resección completa y en bloque de lesiones con riesgo de invasión submucosa superficial, incluso en aquellas con alta probabilidad de fibrosis submucosa.

Published: October 2024

Introducción. La respuesta al tratamiento en dispepsia funcional con inhibidor de bomba de protones es variable. Una herramienta de decisión que identifique la probabilidad de respuesta utilizando datos clínicos podría optimizar el manejo en estos pacientes. 
Objetivo. Desarrollar y validar internamente un modelo predictivo pronóstico fácil de usar que permita establecer clínicamente la probabilidad de respuesta al inhibidor de bomba de protones en dispepsia funcional. 
Material y métodos. Realizamos un estudio de cohorte retrospectiva con base en la recolección de datos de historias clínicas de adultos con dispepsia funcional. Un estudio piloto permitió identificar las variables relacionadas con la respuesta al inhibidor de bomba de protones. Realizamos la validación interna por división de muestra, 70% desarrollo y 30% validación. Desarrollamos el modelo por regresión logística multivariable utilizando el mejor subconjunto para el número y la selección de variables. El modelo final se transformó en una regla de puntuación. Evaluamos la capacidad predictiva con área bajo la curva (AUC) y estadístico Hosmer-Lemshow. 
Resultados. Se incluyeron 192 pacientes. El mejor subconjunto identificó 4 variables con mejor desempeño. El modelo logístico demostró buena calibración y discriminación con AUC de 0,89 y chi-cuadrado de Hosmer-Lemshow con p = 1. La regla de puntuación asignó los valores: síntomas de ansiedad 3 puntos; fibromialgia 2 puntos; depresión 1 punto; sexo femenino se resta un punto. La suma de puntuaciones inferiores a 4 puntos se relacionaron con una buena respuesta al manejo con inhibidor de bomba, con una sensibilidad del 96,5% y especificidad del 56,6%. 
Conclusiones. Presentamos una herramienta novedosa que permite la identificación temprana de pacientes con mejor respuesta terapéutica al manejo de dispepsia funcional.

Background: Numerous disorders have been successfully treated with earthworms, and this has been documented in ancient texts. These invertebrates are a rich natural source of biological and pharmacological compounds with antioxidant and anticancer properties. The present study aims to isolate and partially purify serine protease from the earthworm and evaluate the cytotoxic and antitumor activities of serine protease and crude extracts of the earthworm. Methods: Lumbricus terrestris earthworms were collected and processed to prepare crude extracts, isolate, and partially purify them. The anti-tumour activity's serine enzyme was evaluated by MTT assay and Live/Dead Cell Viability Assay using A549 and NHF cell lines. Results: When the concentration was doubled, it hurt the viability of A549 and NHF cells. The IC50 values for A549cell lines were194.3 and 22.57 μg/ml for crude and serine protease, respectively. Also, the crude extract does not show cytotoxicity against the normal cell line (NHF cells). The IC50 values 391,78.61 mg/ ml, respectively, using Live/Dead Cell Viability Assay, demonstrate that an increased proportion of apoptotic cell deaths in A549 cells after treatment with crude as well as enzyme there is a significant increase in the mean count of dead cells after being treated with enzyme as well as crude the mean count was 172.7 3;127.5 in cells treated with serine enzyme and crude extract, respectively, whereas in the untreated cells, it was 33.1 reflects a significant difference when compared with treated cells with serine enzyme and crud extracts (P<0.001). Conclusion: These findings revealed that Serin enzyme and crude extract of Lumbricus terrestris possesses excellent antitumor activity.

To produce paints and varnish coatings, there is an opportunity to use a waste of metallurgical production of Yakovlevsky mining and processing complex, Cherepovets, Russia. This waste contains iron oxide as iron oxide pigment. It could be used as an analogue to iron oxide pigment already existing on the market. The authors studied the pigment properties of the waste and the opportunity of using it as a raw material for the synthesis of red iron oxide pigment. The article gives recommendations on the use of the obtained product and shows the opportunity of its application for paint and varnish coatings.

The petroleum industry is vital to many economies but is often plagued by labor disputes that can disrupt operations and affect profitability. This paper proposes a comprehensive Human Resources and Legal Risk Management Framework specifically tailored for managing labor disputes in the petroleum sector. The framework integrates human resource management practices with legal compliance measures to minimize risks associated with employee relations and disputes. The framework emphasizes proactive measures, including effective communication, employee engagement, and training programs designed to foster a collaborative workplace culture. By implementing conflict resolution strategies and grievance handling procedures, organizations can address issues before they escalate into disputes. Additionally, the framework underscores the importance of adhering to labor laws and regulations to mitigate legal risks. Key components of the framework include risk assessment tools that identify potential areas of conflict, alongside mechanisms for monitoring labor relations. By leveraging data analytics, organizations can better understand employee sentiment and predict possible disputes, allowing for timely interventions. Furthermore, the framework advocates for establishing a clear legal compliance structure, ensuring that all practices align with local and international labor laws. The integration of human resources and legal considerations not only enhances organizational resilience but also fosters a positive workplace environment. It is crucial for organizations in the petroleum industry to recognize the interdependence of HR practices and legal obligations, as failure to address labor disputes effectively can lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage. In conclusion, this framework offers a structured approach to managing labor disputes, promoting organizational sustainability in the petroleum sector. By aligning human resource strategies with legal risk management, companies can create a harmonious work environment that ultimately contributes to their long-term success.

In some high-income countries, the widespread use of intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis has reduced the incidence of early-onset infections (onset from 0 to 6 days of life) with Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and late-onset infections (LOD, Late-Onset Disease, from 7 to 90 days of life) have become the most frequent invasive GBS infections. LODs may re- sult in severe sepsis and meningitis that may lead to neurodevelopmental impairment or death; pathogenesis and mode of transmission of LOD remain poorly understood. Preterm infants, often with prolonged hospital stay in intensive care units, are particularly vulnerable to LOD. The primary goal of contemporary research is to increase knowl- edge of pathogenetic and transmission mechanisms to improve prevention and reduce the severity of these infections.
Cybercrime in Association of Southeast Asian Nations: Regional Effort and Its Effectiveness
Authors: Sari Monica Nila
Published: October 2024

The world has already observed how digitalization is reshaping countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). ASEAN has experienced a positive gross domestic product (GDP) trend of over US$3.6 trillion by 2022, becoming the fifth largest economy in the world. However, ASEAN countries have become a prime target for cybercrimes, such as online scam hubs where people are forced to work in scam centers, data breaches, and cyberattack launchpads. This study analyzes the effectiveness of ASEAN’s regional approach in dealing with cybercrime issues while considering ASEAN’s substantial challenges in enhancing its cooperation against cybercrime. The conclusions will provide policy recommendations for strengthening ASEAN’s cybercrime framework.
Revelation and Communion: A Contextual Theological Approach to Diversity and Dialogue in World Christianity
Authors: Okwara Olisaemeka Rosemary
Published: October 2024

Theology in world Christianity not only features theological discourse that scrutinizes the colonial legacy of Christianity, pointing out the ways in which Christian doctrines are cast in colonial power, but also presents theology from the indigenous concerns to appropriate the Christian faith. Nonetheless, the present challenge to doing theology in world Christianity extends to not only making Christianity a dialogic-livable faith but also sustaining the relationship between universality and indigeneity. This article grapples with the task of decolonizing revelation, salvation, and dialogue in world Christianity using the insights from Ecclesiam Suam (1964) and Elochukwu Uzukwu’s wholeness-oriented approach to revelation and diversity. Particularly, it reexamines the meaning of salvation in the context of a narrative and proposes that the indigenous approaches could overcome the hurdles—not reinscribe highly problematic relations between the so-called center and margins through inculturation and contextual theology—taking note that theological discourse on revelation and salvation stands in need of scrutiny.
