Seis sigma es una metodología enfocada en la minimización de las variaciones de los procesos de las organizaciones, considerada como una métrica, una meta y una  la cual incluye un conjunto de herramientas a utilizar en cada una de las 5 fases que la constituyen, sin embargo, en nuestro conocimiento no existe una guía clara para el uso de tales herramientas ante situaciones específicas de la metodología, por lo anterior, el presente trabajo propone una metodología específica para la fase de definición de seis sigma, considerando las herramientas preestablecidas para esta fase, los resultados demuestran la utilidad de contar con una metodología para la fase de Definición, al contar con un instrumento de apoyo para seleccionar a las herramientas más apropiadas en la definición del proyecto que permita identificar las necesidades prioritarias del cliente y convertirá en especificaciones técnicas del producto. Adicionalmente, se incluye una aplicación de la metodología propuesta a una empresa del sector metal mecánico, la cual define el proyecto Seis Sigma siguiendo los pasos propuestos.
REDESIGNING LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR ADVANCING THE LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND SUBJECT-SPECIFIC LEARNING AT THE SCHOOL STAGE: PREPARING LEARNERS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Authors: Sakib Najmus , Basantia Tapan Kumar
Published: March 2023

Learners’ active involvement in the learning process led to learning experiences. Meaningful learning experiences contribute to the learners’ holistic development, i.e., improvement in skills, experiences, knowledge, etc. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis placed on the need of equipping learners with essential life skills because life skills prepare learners for their daily life. Life skills are introduced as a separate subject at CBSE schools, but integrating life skills with other school subjects is essential to prepare students for the 21st century. Conventional learning methods are widely used for the development of life skills among learners and advancement of subject-specific learning, but these methods are less potential and practical. Thus, there is a need for innovative, realistic, experiential and learner-oriented learning methods like situation-based method, activity-based method, children-led learning method, problem-based method, projects-based method, field-based method, case-based method, inquiry-based method and locality-oriented method can be used for constructing subjects cum life skills-based learning experiences. This paper provides an exemplary classroom-based activity based on problem-based method on science for the life skills development and improvement of science learning of the sixth-class learners. Proper assessment is very much needed to trace the life skills development and learning of different subjects of the learners. This paper provides a framework of life skills-guided holistic assessment. Besides these, the present paper gives prominence to learning experience, life skills development and subject-specific learning: an overview of key elements relating to school stage; need for redesigning learning experiences for the development of life skills and enhancing learning in different subjects; innovative learning methods for constructing holistic learning experiences; life skills-guided holistic assessment; and implicative measures for consideration. This paper has wide implications for constructing life skills cum subject based rich learning experiences; and assessing student’s life skills and learning regarding different subjects.
A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF FACTORS INFLUENCING STUDENTS’ EDUCATIONAL ASPIRATIONS
Authors: Ganie Gowhar Rashid
Published: March 2023

This systematic review was conducted to synthesize the existing research evidence on factors influencing school students’ educational aspirations. To achieve this desired objective, Joana Briggs Institute’s systematic review format was followed. Online literature databases - Google Scholar, Semantic scholar, Research gate, Proquest, JSTOR, ERIC, Web of Science, Springer, Sage, Wiley Online Library, Taylor Francis, Elsevier, PsychINFO, and Scopus - were searched for the identification and retrieval of research studies published between January 2010 and June 2022. A total of twenty six (26) published papers (double –blind peer reviewed) were included in the review. Through the process of narrative synthesis using the method of thematic analysis, the factors identified were categorized in two broader themes i.e. students individual characteristics (gender, locale, academic performance, religiosity, ability to delay gratification and peer-group affiliation) and family characteristics (socio-economic status, socio-cultural capital, parental education, occupation, income, and aspirations). The review contends that existing evidence is not enough to establish the causal inferences or to make conclusive statements or to predict which factor influences most and which least.

Authors: Devid Deslit , Vennila D.
Published: March 2023

The impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the economy of India was disruptive. The contribution of funds and assistance by different state governments, organizations, companies, etc supported the economy to come back strong. Many companies have now an emphasis on spending their CSR fund on activities related to covid pandemic-related activities and working in tandem with central, and state governments, and local agencies. Corporates responded to COVID with great urgency and remarkable flexibility and witnessed unprecedented involvement by corporate India in responding to the situation. The Companies Act 2013 had amended and included that, the amount spent by companies for covid related activities can also be considered as CSR activity. The study shows results that the companies mainly spent on N95 masks, testing tool kits, ventilators, beds, other equipment, etc. The overall amount spent by companies during 2020-21 is lesser compared to 2019-20. The Maharashtra state is having more contribution to CSR. Kerala and some other states are comparatively lesser concentrated on CSR activities. Society accepts the companies which are more socially responsible. So, companies need to be more socially committed and supportive. More companies need to accelerate for the support to overcome the repercussion of coronavirus. The study explains the Importance of enforcing the laws and regulations for the corporates and the statistical data will give overall information about the activities conducted by corporates.

Authors: Kürüm Yıldırım Betül
Published: March 2023

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale to determine the reclusion tendency levels in adults. The sample group is consistent with adults between the ages of 18-60 (Mage=26.2 years; age range: 18-33 years). A literature review was performed and existing scales were examined prior to this study. Potential items were formed. Then the data collection using the template scale began. The collected data was used for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and for the purpose of testing the structural validity of the scale. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a measuring tool of 22 items consisting of four sub-dimensions of internal observation, spirituality, productivity, and autonomy sub-dimensions that explain the 58,51% of the total variations was formed. There is a meaningful positive correlation identified between the Reclusion Tendency Scale and the Preference For Solitude scale (r=.49; p <.001). The total reliability coefficient is calculated .92; .88 for “internal observation”, .88 for “spirituality”, .66 for “autonomy”, and .75 for “productivity” sub-dimensions. The findings from this study suggest that the reclusion tendency scale is a valid and reliable scale when tested in a sample of young adults.

ChatGPT as an Educational Tool: Opportunities, Challenges, and Recommendations for Communication, Business Writing, and Composition Courses
Authors: AlAfnan Mohammad Awad , Samira Dishari  , Marina Jovic  , Koba Lomidze
Published: March 2023

This empirical study examines ChatGPT as an educational and learning tool. It investigates the opportunities and chal-lenges that ChatGPT provides to the students and instruc-tors of communication, business writing, and composition courses. It also strives to provide recommendations. After conducting 30 theory-based and application-based ChatGPT tests, it is found that ChatGPT has the potential of replacing search engines as it provides accurate and relia-ble input to students. For opportunities, the study found that ChatGPT provides a platform for students to seek an-swers to theory-based questions and generate ideas for ap-plication-based questions. It also provides a platform for in-structors to integrate technology in classrooms and conduct workshops to discuss and evaluate generated responses. For challenges, the study found that ChatGPT, if unethically used by students, may lead to human unintelligence and un-learning. This may also present a challenge to instructors as the use of ChatGPT negatively affects their ability to dif-ferentiate between meticulous and automaton-dependent students, on the one hand, and measure the achievement of learning outcomes, on the other hand. Based on the out-come of the analysis, this study recommends communica-tion, business writing, and composition instructors to (1) re-frain from making theory-based questions as take-home as-sessments, (2) provide communication and business writing students with detailed case-based and scenario-based as-sessment tasks that call for personalized answers utilizing critical, creative, and imaginative thinking incorporating lec-tures and textbook material, (3) enforce submitting all take-home assessments on plagiarism detection software, espe-cially for composition courses, and (4) integrate ChatGPT generated responses in classes as examples to be discussed in workshops. Remarkably, this study found that ChatGPT skillfully paraphrases regenerated responses in a way that is not detected by similarity detection software. To maintain their effectiveness, similarity detection software providers need to upgrade their software to avoid such incidents from slipping unnoticed.

El modelo de comunicación de la revocación de mandato
Authors: Esteinou Madrid Javier
Published: March 2023

El 10 de abril de 2022 el gobierno de la Cuarta Transformación (4-T) convocó a la primera consulta popular para la Revocación de Mandato del presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Para ello, se estableció un marco normativo muy preciso sobre la forma como debía ejecutarse, especialmente en el ámbito comunicativo, y el Instituto Nacional Electoral realizó todas las acciones necesarias para que dicho plebiscito se pudiera realizar correctamente. Sin embargo, el Poder Ejecutivo, diversos funcionarios de la administración lopezobradorista, legisladores, gobernadores y alcaldes de la 4-T violaron recurrentemente la reglamentación jurídica con objeto de intentar obtener más votos.

Todo ello, confirmó rotundamente que dicha primera consulta ciudadana en lugar de haberse convertido en un ejercicio ejemplar de respeto al orden del derecho y a los procesos democráticos, terminó siendo una dinámica fallida que debilitó la democracia en México por la cantidad de irregularidades, violaciones y corrupciones cometidas.
Lecturers' perceptions of blended teaching in the Post COVID-19 Era: A case study of a University in Lesotho
Authors: Nkhi Sekoai Elliot , Mofana Mongali , Moqasa Nketsi
Published: March 2023

The study reports on implementing blended learning and teaching in the post COVID-19 era at a University in Lesotho. Research indicates that COVID-19 has necessitated the adoption of blended teaching and learning across the entire education domain. This suggests that traditional face-to-face teaching approaches were no longer appropriate due to the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus. Therefore, online teaching and learning became the only way lecturers in higher education, most especially in the selected University, could engage with their students. Therefore, the study sought to explore the implementation of blended teaching and learning in post COVID-19 at Limkokwing University. An interpretive paradigm was adopted in this study using a qualitative approach confined within a case study, and face-to-face interviews with lecturers (n=20) were used for data collection. Latent thematic analysis was the method used for analysing the emerging themes. Findings from interviews with lecturers reveal that blended teaching and learning is essential because it fosters learner-centredness through access to a plethora of electronic resources in several digital archives. Thus, the study recommends that blended teaching and learning should be adopted as a strategy for teaching and learning in Lesotho Universities.

Les réseaux sociaux : un nouveau support d’expression du temps infini des marques de luxe
Authors: Zeitoun Valérie , Veg-Sala Nathalie
Published: March 2023

• Objectifs de recherche Alors que le luxe s’ancre dans le passé et vise à s’inscrire dans l’éternité ou l’immortalité, les réseaux sociaux se réfèrent à un temps éphémère, profondément ancré dans le présent. L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier dans quelle mesure les réseaux sociaux peuvent, au-delà de cette opposition apparente, devenir un nouvel espace d’expression permettant aux marques de luxe d’accéder au statut d’éternel ou d’immortel. • Méthodologie En s’appuyant sur les recherches effectuées sur la notion de paradoxe et en recourant au cadre analytique de la temporalité en philosophie et des régimes d’historicité, cette recherche propose une étude sémiotique structurale des communications sur Instagram et des publicités dans la presse de quatre marques de luxe du secteur de l’horlogerie. • Résultats Nous montrons comment la gestion de la communication sur les réseaux sociaux peut renforcer ou soutenir le déploiement des marques de luxe dans un temps infini, grâce à un processus de dé-temporalisation qui consiste en une juxtaposition des régimes d’historicité (passéisme, présentisme et futurisme) sur les différents supports de communication et/ou dans le contenu des publications Instagram successives. • Implications managériales/sociétales Les recommandations proposées aux managers sont relatives d’une part, au respect de la cohérence du discours des marques sans être répétitif sur les différents supports de communication et, d’autre part, à la construction d’une temporalité infinie par le processus de dé-temporalisation et la juxtaposition des temporalités. • Originalité L’originalité de l’article réside dans l’utilisation de l’approche philosophique du temps et des régimes d’historicité ainsi que la mise en œuvre d’une méthodologie sémiotique.

Manganese enters the clinker from alternative fuel and alternative raw materials. It is present in the iron ores utilized in the cement burning and is found in the slags employed as supplementary cement materials. The jouravskite, as a member of the ettringite family, may form in limestone cement when exposed to sulfate media. To understand its effect on the hydration process, the expansion of small cylindrical clinker pastes doped with synthesized jouravskite and ettringite in magnesium sulfate solutions was measured with a micrometer; and the compressive strength of representative cubes was monitored. The phases formed were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The jouravskite is found to be a strong retarder for clinker hydration probably due to its adsorption on the cement hydrates.

Dans cette étude, nous aborderons la production de deux écrivaines d'origine marocaine qui ont choisi le catalan comme langue de travail : Laila Karrouch (Nador, 1977) et Najat El Hachmi (Beni Sidel, 1979). Bien que ce soient des voix stylistiquement différentes, toutes deux partagent non seulement des liens d'origine géographique et générationnelle mais aussi un destin migratoire, la ville de Vic. Leur parcours professionnel est aussi différent, mais toutes deux présentent dans leurs textes des lieux communs et des préoccupations similaires qui permettent, à travers la littérature, d’établir une série de caractéristiques d'identification des femmes musulmanes qui émigrent.

We report a dataset of all known and published occurrence records of animals of the phylum Rotifera, including Bdelloidea, Monogononta, and Seisonacea (with the exclusion of Acanthocephala) for Africa and surrounding islands and archipelagos. The dataset includes 24,704 records of 914 taxa (subspecies: 38; species: 783; genus: 76; family: 17), gathered from 610 published papers. The published literature spans from 1854 to 2022, with the highest number of records in the decades 1990-1999 and 2010-2019. The African countries with the highest number of taxa are Nigeria, Algeria, South Africa, and Democratic Republic of the Congo, whereas no records are yet available for a dozen countries. The number of species known from each country can be explained mostly by sampling efforts, measured as the number of papers published for each country up to now. The dataset is available through the Open Science Framework (OSF) and in the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Background:

EUS-guided choledoco-duodenostomy using electrocautery-enhanced lumen-apposing metal stents (ECE-LAMS) is becoming the gold standard in case of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography failure for distal malignant obstruction. Long-term data in larger samples are lacking.

Methods:

This was a prospective monocentric study including all patients who underwent EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (CDS) between September 2016 and December 2021. The primary endpoint was the rate of biliary obstruction during follow-up. Secondary endpoints were technical and clinical success rates, adverse event rates, and identification of risk factors for biliary obstruction.

Results:

One hundred and twenty-three EUS-guided CDS using ECE-LAMS were performed at Limoges University Hospital were performed during the study period and included in the study. The main cause of obstruction was pancreatic adenocarcinoma in 91 (74.5%) cases. The technical and clinical success rates were 97.5% and 91%, respectively. Twenty patients (16.3%) suffered from biliary obstructions during a mean follow-up of 242 days. The clinical success rate for endoscopic desobstruction was 80% (16/20). In uni- and multivariate analyses, only the presence of a duodenal stent (odds ratio [OR]: 3.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] 95%: 1.2–10.2; P = 0.018) and a bile duct thinner than 15 mm (OR: 3.9, CI 95%: 1.3–11.7; P = 0.015) were the significant risk factors for biliary obstruction during the follow-up.

Conclusion:

Obstruction of LAMS occurred in 16.3% of cases during follow-up and endoscopic desobstruction is efficacious in 80% of cases. The presence of duodenal stent and a bile duct thinner than 15 mm are the risk factors of obstruction. Except in these situation, EUS-CDS with ECE-LAMS could be proposed in the first intent in case of distal malignant obstruction.

We undertook a study to assess current knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to kala-azar to advise the national kala-azar elimination program in Bangladesh. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in two endemic subdistricts (upazilas): Fulbaria and Trishal. Based on upazila health complex surveillance data, one endemic village was selected randomly from each of these subdistricts. A total of 511 households (HHs) (261 in Fulbaria and 250 in Trishal) were included in the study. An adult from each HH was interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Specifically, data were collected on knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to kala-azar. Of the respondents, 52.64% were illiterate. All study participants had heard approximately kala-azar, and 30.14% of the HHs or neighboring HHs have had at least one kala-azar case. Of the respondents, 68.88% knew that kala-azar is transmitted through sick people, and more than 56.53% of the study participants said that mosquitoes transmitted kala-azar, even though 90.80% were aware of the presence of sand flies. Of the participants, 46.55% were aware that insect vectors laid their eggs in the water. The Upazila Health Complex was the preferable health-care facility for 88.14% of the villagers. In addition, 62.03% used bed nets for preventing sand fly bites and 96.48% of the families had mosquito nets. Based on these observations, the national program should strengthen its current community engagement activities to increase the knowledge of kala-azar in endemic communities.

The declaration of the ongoing mpox (formerly monkeypox) outbreak by the WHO as a public health emergency of international concern has put global attention on mpox disease. As of December 4, 2022, a total of 80,221 mpox cases had been confirmed from 110 countries, with a major proportion of cases being reported from previously non-endemic countries. The current global emergence and spread of the disease has highlighted the challenges and the need for efficient public health preparedness and response. There are several challenges posed in the current mpox outbreak, ranging from epidemiological factors to diagnostic and socio-ethnic issues. These challenges may be circumvented with proper intervention measures such as strengthening surveillance, robust diagnostics, clinical management plans, intersectoral collaboration, firm prevention plans, capacity building, addressing stigma and discrimination against vulnerable groups, and ensuring equitable access to treatments and vaccines. To address the above challenges in the wake of the current outbreak, it is essential to understand the gaps and plug them with effective countermeasures.

The fermentation of the coffee fruit processing into coffee beans leaves the fermented coffee pulp which still contains polyphenol secondary metabolites. This study aimed to analyze the total flavonoid content (TFC) and total phenolic content (TPC) of fermented robusta coffee pulp (Coffea canephora L.) by using indigenous Actinomycetes. The ability of fermented extracts to inhibit free radical DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) also were done. In this study, coffee cherries were fermented in the solid-state fermentation cultivation (SSF) using isolates HJ4.5b, P2b(b).3 and P2b(b).18 which in previous studies were reported to have cellulolytic and xylanolytic activities. Determination of molecular identification base on 16S rRNA gen showed the isolates HJ4.5b and P2b(b).3 have similarities to the genus Streptomycetes, while P2b(b).18 has a homologous base arrangement with a rare actinomycetes genus Micromonospora. Fermentation using P2b(b).3 on the 9th day of fermentation indicated the highest percentage increase in TFC (295.54%) with IC50 18.41 µl/ml and having an antioxidant activity index (AAI) value of 2.14 which was included in the very strong antioxidant activity category.

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation due to loss of ovarian follicular activity. Assessment of the age of menopause is particularly important because previous studies have shown a high risk of osteoporosis, hypertension, stroke, and coronary heart disease. This study aims to determine the risk factors for early menopause in Javanese women in Oransbari District, West Papua Province. The cross-sectional sampling method was carried out on women aged 51.73 years with an interval of 40.07-78.58 years. Age at menopause was calculated using the Probit Generalized Linear Model (GLM) analysis. We used a binary logit regression (BLR) model to estimate risk factors for early menopause. BLR analysis was fitted to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Age at menopause is divided into two categories, normal (≥45 years) and early (<45 years). Our results show that the average age of menopause is 43.1 years, or the early menopause category, with an age range of 39.61 to 55.28 years. The results of the partial parameter significance test at the 10% significance level showed that no formal education (OR: 2.348; CI 1.4213.917) had the most significant risk factor for experiencing early menopause, followed by parity (OR: 0.623; CI: 0.377-1.023), contraception (OR: 0.118; CI: 0.038-0.296), and the lowest risk was the age at first delivery (OR: 0.389; CI: 0.207-0.716). The biocultural conditions experienced early in life in Oransbari shape the character of a younger reproductive age as an adaptive response to maximize fitness.

Hypertension is a severe public health problem due to its high prevalence worldwide. About 7.5 million deaths or 12.8% of all annual deaths worldwide occur due to high blood pressure. The hypertensive disease is also associated with the intestinal bacteria. To our knowledge, the diversity of the gut bacteria in hypertensive patients has not been reported yet in Indonesia. Thus, the aims of this study were to analyze profile of gut bacteria in hypertensive patients compared to non-hypertensive based on metagenomic analysis, Terminal Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP). The results of the affiliation analysis of the entire Terminal Restriction Fragments (TRF) contained 6 groups of bacteria from 26 TRFs in hypertensive and non-hypertensive respondents. Cutting the 16S rRNA gene with the BslI restriction enzyme successfully detected intestinal bacterial groups, namely Clostridium subcluster XIVa, Prevotella, Clostridium cluster IV, Clostridium cluster XI, Bacteroides and others. In hypertensive patients, a higher relative abundance of bacterial groups showed in Clostridium cluster XI, Clostridium cluster IV and Clostridium subcluster XIVa. The abundance of  Bacteroides and Prevotella groups in hypertensive patients were lower than non-hypertensive. The abundance of enterotype I and enterotype II was lower in hypertensive patients than non-hypertensive. Contrarily to that enterotype III cluster. It is worth noting that the F/B ratio was higher in hypertensive patients than that in non-hypertensive. Our data suggest that the gut bacteria profile of hypertensive patients differs to that non-hypertensive.

Published: March 2023

Anatomical characteristics regenerant plantlet of Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.) were observed to determine the difference of plantlet performance between Sigararutang and Maragogige grown in shooting and rooting medium. Transverse sections of the fresh roots, stems and leaves of three-month-old plantlets from somatic embryos were collected and used for the study. Sigararutang and Maragogipe as the plantlet materials were chosen based on the bean size and the origin. Stomata were microscopically observed on the abaxial leaf paradermal section. A conformity test to compare between plantlet and the parent plant was observed to perform genetic stability. Assessment of genetic stability was measured by using the sequence of trnL (UAA) region. The result showed that all the anatomical roots, stems and leaves of the Maragogipe plantlet have a greater number than Sigararutang (root diameter, cortex thickness, distance of long stele, distance of short stele, endodermis thickness, stem diameter, cortex thickness, maximum stele diameter, minimum stele diameter, epidermis thickness, diameter of stomatal closing, length of stomatal closing, total stomatal density, adaxial epidermis density, midrib thickness, adaxial epidermis thickness, abaxial epidermis thickness, diameter of the vascular bundles, lamina thickness), except of epidermis thickness, diameter of the vascular bundles, diameter of stomatal aperture, diameter of stomatal opening, length of stomatal opening and abaxial epidermis density. Taxonomists may be able to use these anatomic traits as supplementary proof in the determination of Arabica coffee. Molecular analysis showed that there were genetically identical organisms between the plantlet and the parent plant. It was indicated there was no somaclonal variation during somatic embryogenesis in the micropropagation of Arabica coffee.
