Authors: Ruiz Erika Dolores , Gómez Julio Fernando Salazar , Rivera María de Jesús Valdivia
Published: March 2024

Purpose: the present study demonstrates that the combination of financial planning and decision making jointly contribute as predictors of efficient financial performance, permeating into MSMEs’ market sustainability.
 
Theoretical Framework: Micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) currently have a relevant role in gross domestic product and direct job creation in Latin American countries. The literature shows that financial planning is a highly valuable tool for large businesses, facilitating decision making and creating positive impacts on financial performance. However, these studies are centered on businesses classified as large, excluding MSMEs. Recent studies have approached financial planning, decision making, and financial performance in MSMEs on an individualized basis.
 
Methodology: The study carried out was quantitative, non-experimental, correlation, cross-sectional, and explanatory. A total of 308 MSMEs participated, obtained from the National Geography and Statistics Institute (INEGI, 2019), of which 34.41% were industrial, 32.14% commercial, and 33.41% from the service sector. Normal distribution tests were done (Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests), along with symmetry and kurtosis.
 
Findings: The findings suggest that MSMEs which have been around for seven years or more have financial planning knowledge favoring their decision-making and generating efficient financial performance, making time a determining factor.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: Our findings have significant implications for generating proper planning based on solid tools, with the effect of assertive decision making which favors financial performance.
 
Originality/Value: The most important contribution from this study to MSMEs is to show that financial planning is not only for large organizations, but can apply to them as well.

Authors: Khidirov I. , Jaksimuratov I. J. , Khallokov F. K.
Published: March 2024

Developing the new materials with improved properties suggests study of the crystal structure and properties of multicomponent interstitial alloys. We present the results of studying the crystal structure and microhardness of TixMo1 – xCyNz interstitial alloys in massive samples with different ratios of concentrations of constituent elements. The samples obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis were subjected to homogenizing annealing at 2600 K for 8 h and cooled together with the furnace. Data of neutron diffraction revealed that the alloys have a face-centered cubic crystal structure in which Ti and Mo atoms, as well as C and N, are intersubstituted and statistically located in the 4b positions and octahedral 4a positions, respectively. The Rietveld method was used to determine crystallite sizes, dislocation densities, and microstrain using X-ray diffraction patterns. The microhardness of the samples was determined by the Vickers method. It is shown that the crystallite sizes determined by the Williamson-Hall and Scherrer methods differ significantly, whereas the patterns of crystallite growth in size, as well as regularities of changes in the dislocation density and microstrains follow change in the concentration of the components in the composition. As the carbon content in the alloy increases, the crystallite sizes and microstrains decrease, and the dislocation density increases. It is revealed that the smaller the crystallite size and the higher the dislocation density, the more microhardness is displaced towards increasing the carbon content. With a change in the ratio of components in TixMo1 – xCyNz as the crystallite size and microstrains decrease and dislocation density increases, the microhardness of the alloy increases by 1.5 – 2 times compared to binary carbide and titanium nitride. The results obtained can be applied to the use of interstitial alloys in instrumental and high-temperature engineering.
Studying the estimates of gamma distribution parameters
Authors: Shebanov S. M.
Published: March 2024

The main goal of the work is to obtain additional information about the experimentally obtained sample with a previously known theoretical distribution, the point estimates of the parameters of which are considered known. At the same time, the laws of distribution of these parameters remain unknown, whereas they could provide a researcher with additional information about both the material and technological processes. Hence, it is necessary to obtain an additional number of samples, which is not always possible experimentally. Here we used data on the service life of cutters (GOST 11.011–83 «Rules for determining estimates and confidence limits for gamma distribution parameters») as an experimental sample. The experimental sample contains the results of 50 measurements. The mean was 57.88 hours CI [50.74:65.01]. The confidence probability is taken to be 0.95. Bootstrap was used as a way to obtain additional samples. The universal mathematical package MATLAB is used in the study. Bootstrap allows generation of a large number of samples that require certain selection rules to be applied to them. The first obvious requirement is the significance of the correlation coefficient of the generated sample with the original one. Even at this stage, the bootstrap showed certain limitations in performing the task set in the study. For 1000 samples generated by the standard bootstrap routine, the mean for the population of all mean bootstrap samples was 57.80 hours, and the confidence interval was [50.59:58.08]. The result is good. Though the nonparametric hypothesis regarding an agreement between the bootstrap samples for the gamma distribution and the parameters characteristic of the original experimentally obtained sample was not rejected, the statistically significant correlation coefficient was observed only for 29 bootstrap samples. As a result of meeting these obvious requirements, less than 3% of the generated bootstrap samples remained for further consideration. This fact requires the introduction of additional conditions when using the bootstrap to obtain samples that are close to the original experimental sample, which can be rather specific. To determine the parameters of the gamma distribution for bootstrap samples, the method of moments and the one-step method were used.

Published: March 2024

Background: Unhandled prolonged labor can cause death for the mother and baby. Prolonged labor is caused by inadequate contraction. Uterotonics and aromatherapy can improve the contraction. Rose and jasmine aromatherapy increase oxytocin level and aid the birth process. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of rose and jasmine aromatherapy on duration of labor in women in the first stage of labor at Aisyiyah Hospital Kudus.
Subject and Methods: This research was a true experimental study with posttest-only control group design. The number of samples was determined using simple random sampling. The number of samples was 45 respondents (15 rose aromatherapy, 15 jasmine aromatherapy, 15 control). Aromatherapy (1-3%) was given through diffuser for 30 minutes. Each respondent who had prolonged labor was given aromatherapy during first stage of labor, then the duration of labor was measured. The data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results: In the normality test by Shapiro-Wilk test, the value of p=0.006 (p<0.05), which means that the data is not normally distributed. Homogeneity test with the Lavene test yields p=0.044 (p<0.05) which indicates that the variance of data is not homogeneous. Then continued with the Kruskal-Walls test, it was found that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of giving rose aromatherapy, jasmine aromatherapy and standard treatment on the duration of labor in women with prolonged labor (p=0.104).
Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the labor duration in rose, jasmine and control groups.

Authors: Licona-Hernández Joseline , Olave-Leyva José Ignacio , Ojeda-Ramírez Deyanira
Published: March 2024

La fascioliasis es una enfermedad causada por gusanos planos, parásitos de la clase trematoda y género Fasciola, que afecta a animales y humanos. A pesar de su considerable impacto en la salud pública y el sector pecuario, así como a su frecuente reaparición, se encuentra entre las enfermedades tropicales desatendidas. Aunado a ello, el uso indiscriminado de fasciolicidas sintéticos en el ganado ha propiciado resistencia de este trematodo a los antihelmínticos disponibles en el mercado, por lo que es necesario contar con nuevas alternativas de tratamiento. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los avances recientes a nivel mundial sobre las plantas medicinales con efecto sobre Fasciola, reportadas en las bases de datos PubMed, Scopus, SciFinder y Google Scholar, entre enero de 2019 y julio de 2023. Se encontraron reportes sobre el potencial fasciolicida de 32 plantas, 7 de ellas con actividad sobre huevos, 3 sobre los estadios larvales, 1 sobre juveniles y el resto sobre el estadio adulto del parásito. Dentro de los metabolitos secundarios responsables de la actividad farmacológica, se han identificado monoterpenos, alcaloides, ácidos grasos poliinsaturados (PUFA’s), artemisina y compuestos fenólicos; destacando la curcumina y la timoquinona. Los resultados encontrados ponen de manifiesto el potencial uso de las plantas como fuente de nuevos principios activos fasciolicidas.

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) in orthopaedic surgeries pose a significant risk to outcomes. These infections ranging from superficial to periprosthetic joint complications result from various factors including patient-related conditions and environmental factors. Staphylococcus aureus, with increasing antibiotic resistance, is a predominant cause. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis recommended by the WHO is crucial. Establishing national surveillance considering local antibiotic resistance and continuous auditing are essential for formulating effective guidelines to prevent and manage SSIs. Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care hospital from December 2022 to November 2023 at the orthopaedic unit. The study population was all the patients who had surgical site infections following clean orthopaedic surgeries during the study period. An institutional-level ethical clearance was obtained. Results: This retrospective study conducted at a tertiary orthopaedic unit in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, aimed to investigate surgical site infections (SSI) following clean orthopaedic surgeries. Analyzing data from 1676 surgeries over one year, the study identified 83 culture-proven SSIs, yielding an annual incidence of 4.95%. The majority of SSIs occurred in males (62.7%) and were associated predominantly with lower limb surgeries (83.1%). Contrary to global trends, Pseudomonas emerged as the most common causative organism (31.3%). Discussion: Notably, the study revealed significant variations in antibiotic sensitivity patterns among isolated organisms. While Pseudomonas exhibited sensitivity to a wide range of antibiotics, coliforms displayed resistance to several agents. This emphasizes regional and institutional differences in antibiotic resistance patterns. Conclusion: Continuous large-scale institutional audits are crucial for shaping effective antibiotic policies. The study underscores the dynamic nature of SSI aetiology, emphasizing the need for tailored preventive measures based on regional data.

Published: March 2024

The use of Dilapan-S as an agent of induction of labour has recently gained a lot of attention for its efficiency, safety profile and lack of foetal complications. However, one of its known complications is the retraction of the rods into the uterus. Fortunately, the incidence is very rare, but the mechanisms remain elusive and poorly understood. This paper is about a multiparous woman at 39 weeks with unfavourable cervix and a multiparous os who was admitted for IOL using Dilapan-S. During the digital insertion of the 5th rod, she spontaneously ruptured her membranes with retraction of four of the rods into the uterus. Soon after, she developed uterine contractions and was transferred into the delivery suite with an improved Bishop score and a cervical dilatation of 3 cm. An augmentation of labour was commenced with oxytocin but was later discontinued due to a suspicious CTG trace. She had an emergency caesarean section for maternal request with the delivery of a healthy baby and retrieval of the four Dilapan-S rods intra-operative.

Published: March 2024

Plant products are generally useful for medicinal purposes, one of which is the noni plant. Noni or pace (Morinda citrifolia L.) fruit juice was extracted using aqueous and methanol solvents, then fermented and screened for the presence or absence of bioactive constituents (phytochemicals) using the modified standard procedures. The major phytochemical constituents revealed were alkaloids, anthraquinones, cardiac glycosides, and flavonoids, phenolic compounds, saponins, tannins, reducing sugar, saponnins, carbohydrate and terpenoids. Bacterial cell viability and MIC values were also determined by turbidity test. The lowest concentration of the extract with clear suspension was considered the MIC values. The lowest concentration of the extract in the post-incubation suspensions which did not harbour any bacterial growth upon spotting on MHA after overnight incubation at 37° C was considered the MBC values. The test was performed in triplicates alongside antibiotics ciprofloxacin (5μg) as a positive control at a concentration of 0.1mg/ml.

One of the groups of patients which may require the greatest flexibility of approach is those with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD is a lifelong developmental disability, affecting four times as many males than females, which affects how a person communicates with, and relates to, other people and the world around them. Challenging behaviors may be triggered by the unfamiliar perioperative environment and may make anesthesia related procedures difficult or impossible. Children with more severe ASD may exhibit verbal or physical aggression, antisocial or disruptive behavior, temper tantrums, screaming, panic attacks, and self-injurious behavior, and may have aberrant responses to sensory stimuli. Although anaesthesia and sedation do not present a problem for most children with ASD, unpredictable regression in skills and behaviour is noted in a small number of patients after general anaesthesia. A 10-year-old child, 53 kg, with autism under treatment, came for a dental abscess and related dental work under general anaesthesia. The pediatric neurological assessment indicated hyperactivity and lack of cooperation. Post-operatively, during resuscitation, the child showed agitation and an attempt to withdraw oxygen, with the physical presence of his family environment.
