Introduction

Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex MTC is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is most commonly used worldwide. Disseminated BCG disease is one of the vaccine complications that may occur in immunocompromised children.

Methods

Retrospective study from January 2009 to December 2022.

Results

We evaluated 66 patients with microbiologically documented M. tuberculosis complex. Immunocompetent were 28 while 38 were immunocompromised. Our data include 46 patients with BCG-related infections. The majority of 26 patients were diagnosed with disseminated BCGiosis, and local BCGitis was found in 20 out of 46. Remaining 20 patients constitute non-BCG-related infections. Chest radiography done in 58 patients and 10.6% had abnormal findings specific for TB. Other image was mainly done for disseminated BCGiosis. The overall acid-fast bacillus AFB smear was positive in 42.4%, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive in 75.8% and positive cultures in 97%. Susceptibility of all samples showed high resistance of pyrazinamide 78.2%, and INH 57.8%, while low resistance to RIF and ethambutol. A further subanalysis of the non-BCG group only showed a drop of resistance to 30% for the related group; all strains were pyrazinamide resistant in the same line with the fact that BCG strain is intrinsically resistant to pyrazinamide, all our patients were 100% resistant. We observed four medications showed some advantage over three-drug regimens with respect to mortality in immunocompromised group. The overall outcome in all patients showed 10.6% mortality. Majority were in disseminated BCGiosis, in which 19.2% died.

Conclusion:

Our center is the main referral hospital in the kingdom with a large number of patients that will help in understanding local data more. Performance of smear and PCR showed variation in relation to different TB diagnoses and sensitivity patterns, giving us insight into different MTB complex strain characteristics that would help in treatment. Sensitivity pattern data will help in keeping updated treatment protocol locally. We recommend managing disseminated BCGiosis with at least four antimycobacterial agents.

Introduction

Acute abdominal pain is a common complaint among pediatric patients. Surgical emergencies, particularly acute appendicitis (AA), evoke significant concern due to the challenges associated with its diagnosis.

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of modified Alvarado and Samuel scores (pediatric appendicitis scoring systems) to the diagnosis of AA in children who attended our acute and emergency department.

Study Population and Methods

Children aged 3 to 16 years who presented to the acute and emergency department with acute abdominal pain were included after obtaining parental consent and Ethics Committee approval. Data on the patient’s age, sex, body temperature, history of bowel habits, trauma, weight loss, chronic gastrointestinal disease, etc., were collected. The modified Alvarado and Samuel scores were calculated, and children were classified into three groups: G1 (score <4), G2 (≥4 score <7), and G3 (score ≥7). The diagnostic value of both scores was assessed by calculating their positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), and negative likelihood ratio (NLR). Children with known chronic inflammatory bowel disease, obvious sepsis, and incomplete case records were excluded.

Results

Of the 90 children recruited for this study, only 87 were included (49 boys, 38 girls, sex ratio: 1.3:1). The overall mean age of the study population was 9.3 years, and the mean ages per group were 9.25 years (G1), 10.3 years (G3), 9.5 years (G3-1), and 7.25 years (G3-2). Of the 87 children, 69 (79%) experienced abdominal pain attributed to a medical cause, and 18 (21%) required surgery [of whom 16 received early intervention, while 2 (G3-1 subgroup) received the intervention after 24 hours of observation]. Of the 16 patients who received early intervention, 6 (38%) who underwent immediate surgery had perforated appendicitis, 4 had suppurated appendicitis, and 6 had simple inflammatory appendicitis. For G3 patients, Alvarado score showed a PPV, an NPV, a sensitivity, a specificity, a PLR, and a NLR of 91.7%, 98%, 91.7%, 98%, 45.5, and 0.09, respectively. For Samuel score, the values were 93%, 98%, 93%, 98%, 46, and 0.08, respectively. The majority of patients with purulent and perforated appendicitis (except 1, score 3) belonged to G3, of whom 1 had a false-positive score (score ≥7) and another had a false-negative score (score 3). Four patients in G3 required abdominal tomodensitometry.

Conclusion

The modified Alvarado and Samuel scoring system is a valuable tool for diagnosing AA in children seeking care at the acute and emergency department.

Bessie Head’s absorbent poetics: Lessons from co-operative farming in Botswana
Authors: Rautenbach Anneke
Published: May 2024

In her autobiographical novel, A Question of Power (1973), Bessie Head identified a dialectical bind in the language and imagery of decolonial and nationalist movements across Africa at the time. I contrast the novel’s treatment of such language with Head’s observations of the agricultural development projects in which she participated during her time in Botswana, which are distinguished by a relational responsiveness across difference, reflected in their responsiveness to the natural environment. Her involvement as a participant-observer, I argue, allowed Head to develop a unique Afrocentric philosophy and poetics, distinct from and often at odds with the language and ethos of campaigns for national liberation. This poetics is what I term “absorbent”: defined by its capacity for sustaining and responding to difference. However, although Head attempted to transcend the dialectical discourse of nationalism, I show that this effort towards transcendence sometimes risked intellectual deflection, which ultimately reinforced a conservative model of global politics and economics.

Published: May 2024

This study explored the challenges in ownership and funding practices of university education in Cross River State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted in conducting the study. Three research questions were answered through the data collected from all the Heads of Department in the sampled Universities in Cross River State including University of Calabar (UNICAL) and Cross River State University (CRSU), Havilla University, Nde-Ikom and Arthur Javis University Akpabuyo. The population comprised 228 Heads of Department in the study area. The census approach was adopted in drawing the population because they are manageable. A 20-item validated questionnaire titled: Challenges in Ownership and Funding Practices of University Education Questionnaire (COFPUEQ) was employed for data collection. The instrument was tested for reliability using Cronbach Alpha at a statistical index .86 which was adjudged good enough for data collection. Data collected were analyzed through mean and standard deviation. Findings revealed that the key challenges in ownership and funding practices of universities in the study area include but not limited to insufficient funding, complex bureaucratic processes, inadequate infrastructure, difficulty in attracting and retaining faculty. It was concluded that by examining these challenges and proposing potential strategies for sustainable funding, the study recommends the importance of diversifying funding sources and engaging in public-private partnerships to enhance the financial sustainability of universities in the State.
Impact of Public Domestic Borrowing on Private Sector Investments in Kenya
Authors: Kithandi Charles Katua
Published: May 2024

In recent there has been rapid increase in uptake of domestic debt by the government of Kenya. The purpose of this study was to establish the Impact of Public Domestic Debt on Private Investments in Kenya. The independent variable was public domestic debt while the dependent variable was private investment. Secondary data on Public domestic debt data and private investment was collected from Central Bank of Kenya. The secondary data was for the periods 1999 to 2021. Private investment was operationalised using Gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and the study applied Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) econometric model.  The study found out that the long-term analysis indicated sustained public domestic borrowing had a negative influence on GFCF, revealing a crowding-out effect. This implied that over time, persistent government debt led to reduced private sector investment.

Published: May 2024

The antibiotic resistance of urinary pathogens has been varying over the period of years, in community and healthcare-associated infections. The study provided the current prevalence and antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp among individuals with urinary tract infections from hospital and community settings in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Midstream urine samples were collected and studied using standard microbiological techniques. Information for the factors associated with UTIs was obtained using questionnaires. An agar disc diffusion technique was used to test for antibiotic susceptibility. The chi-square test and Poisson regression was used to express associations among descriptive variables of UTI. The study revealed females are more susceptible to UTIs than males. Bacterial isolates showed a low prevalence of UTI with 122(8.5%). The age-wise distribution shows that the Incidence is more common in age bracket 51-60 and 21to 30 years. Gender and risk factors among the individuals had a significant relationship with UTIs. Overall, the bacterial strains showed the highest resistance to amoxicillin-clavulanate 43(91.5%) and most susceptible to imipenem 40(85.1%). The bacteria isolates also showed high multiple resistance with 0.6 MAR index. Appropriate diagnosis and management of UTI are aimed at treating the acute occurrence as well as preventing recurrences of this infection.
Towards the fabrication of flexible thin film CdTe solar cells: The significance of substrate surfaces
Authors: Aliyu Mohammed Mannir
Published: May 2024

Thin film CdTe solar cells have been recognized as reliable alternative for the manufacture of cheap photovoltaic solar cells of the future, due to its excellent absorber characteristics and simple, low-cost manufacturability. However, for the attainment of higher cell performances, additional studies are needed to increase cell efficiency through further development of better quality films and new fabrication processes. In the substrate-structured CdTe thin film solar cells, the CdTe absorber layer is deposited directly onto the substrate or through a back contact layer. But the quality of deposited film is believed to depend on the type and smoothness of the substrate. In this work CdTe was deposited on different substrates by RF sputtering and the effects on the deposited films were studied in terms of their structural and morphological forms. The substrates used were: pure molybdenum sheets (Mo), molybdenum-sputtered on molybdenum (Mo/Mo), molybdenum-sputtered polyimide (PI/Mo) and molybdenum-sputtered glass (glass/Mo). The characterization tools used included XRD, SEM and AFM. The results showed that all surfaces produced uniform, compact and pinhole-free films; however, those on smoother surfaces produced larger as-deposited grain sizes of up to1.7μm as against 1.3 for rougher surfaces. Non-uniformities such as overgrowth and voids were observed, but only films on PI showed evidence of cracking and peel-offs.

Published: May 2024

Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV-16) is one of the high-risk viruses that cause cervical cancers. Persistent infection with the virus leads to development of precancerous lesions of the cervix in infected women, which without medical intervention can progress to invasive cervical cancer. This study assessed HPV16-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in the serum of women attendees of General Outpatient Department (GOPD) at General Hospital Kafanchan and Kagarko in Kaduna State. This was a cross-sectional study. Structured, self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information and blood samples were also collected for testing. This was in addition to information collected from the laboratory analyzed. Five milliliters (5mls) of blood were aseptically collected from each of the 200 women, who had no history of HPV vaccination at the time of the study for the determination of HPV16-specific IgG antibodies using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The sero-positivity for HPV 16-specific IgG antibodies among the women was 24.5%. The sero-positivity among women who had their first sexual intercourse at age 13-19 years was 37.6%, and it was significantly different from those who had their sexual debut at ≥20 years (14.8 %) (p=0.001). Sero-positivity also increased from 9.2 % in women with one lifetime sexual partner to 60.0% in those with multiple sexual partners(p=0.001). The finding showed that the women in this study have been exposed to the HPV-16 virus. Further study with a larger population of women in this locality to determine the level of susceptibility or immunity to HPV-16 is strongly advocated, among others.
Phyto-parasitic nematodes of bell pepper plant and farm soil in Abua, Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Ekine Emmanuel Green , Ezenwaka Chinonye Oluchi
Published: May 2024

Bell pepper farming significantly contributes to economic development in Abua. However, phyto-parasitic nematodes are endemic in the area and affect quality of crop yield. Hence, this study was undertaken to investigate the dynamics of occurrence of nematodes in bell pepper roots and soil samples of the farms in Abua. Roots and soil from the root rhizosphere were simultaneously collected at 0-20 cm depth using an improvised soil auger and knife. Modified sieve plate technique was employed for nematode detection and a pictorial key was used for nematode identification at the genera level. An overall nematode abundance of 746 nematodes in the soil around the root region and 216 nematodes in the root tissues of the bell peppers were recorded. Gracilachus species (10.6 %) was more prevalent in the soil, and Meloidogyne species (35.2 %) exhibited the highest population in roots. The study found that Abua's cultivated soil is susceptible to nematode infestation, limiting crop performance. The nematodes showcased root burrowing which is an inherent pattern for survival. The result on root nematodes across the five bell farms surveyed was not significant (p > 0.05). The result opined that farmers in Abua, Rivers State, should understand the role of the soil nematodes and implement soil improvement strategies for improved crop performance and rural economic development.

Authors: Onwunali M.R.O. , Chima C.I. , Ochigbo B.G.
Published: May 2024

The study comprehensively analyzed the nexus between economic growth, health expenditures, education, and the environment in Nigeria, using data obtained from Central bank of Nigeria and World Bank. By utilizing a robust dataset spanning from 1981 to 2021, the study employed autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to uncover intricate relationships. Results, both short-run and long-run analyses, reveal that health and education spending, and gross fixed capital formation positively correlated with economic growth. Conversely, the findings demonstrated that population growth and carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) exerted detrimental effects on economic growth due to the negative impact on the health of the working population. Additionally, the inverted U-shaped relationship between the macroeconomic footprint and income confirms the validity of Nigeria's Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) phenomenon. Lastly, the findings of this study hold important policy implications, emphasizing the need for technological advancements and innovative solutions to address the challenges associated with economic growth, health expenditures, education, and the environment in Nigeria. Policy measures promoting birth control through contraception and family planning should be embraced to effectively manage the country's rapidly growing population.
Preparation of bimetallic Pb/Zn metal-organic framework @graphene oxide composite and its adsorption performance for Pb(II) and Zn(II)
Authors: Liu Zhuannian , Bakhtari Mohammad Fahim , Han Xiaogang
Published: May 2024

The removal of harmful heavy metals from water bodies has emerged as a major concern owing to ecological challenges and the associated threats and dangers they pose. In this study, we used graphene oxide (GO) as an adsorbent to absorb Zn2+ and Pb2+ in simulated wastewater. The Pb2+and Zn2+adsorbed on the surface of GO were utilized as metal ion centers, and benzene-1, 4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC) served as an organic linker to synthesize a bimetallic Pb/Zn-MOF@GO composite via the hydrothermal method. Pb/Zn-MOF@GO composite was characterized using SEM, XRD, FTIR and BET analytical methods. The Pb/Zn-MOF@GO shows a higher BET surface area of 460 m2 g-1 compared to that of Pb-MOF@GO (296 m2 g-1) and Zn-MOF@GO (408 m2 g-1). The maximum adsorption capacities of Pb/Zn-MOF@GO composite material for Zn2+ and Pb2+ were 114.68 and 132.62 mg L-1, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of the composite materials for Zn2+ and Pb2+ follow the pseudo-second order kinetic model, and the adsorption isotherm best fits the Langmuir model. The adsorption mechanism was governed by hydrogen bonding, and the -C=O reaction was also involved in the adsorption process. The findings of this study provide new insights into water pollution and resource utilization.

Authors: Mäkipää Toni , Hahl Kaisa , Luodonpää-Manni Milla , Lahti Laura
Published: May 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate what teaching strategies and teaching materials are used in foreign language teaching in Finland. The data were collected with an online questionnaire that was answered by 550 language teachers from primary school to adult education. Descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA were used to analyse the dataset. The results showed that printed textbooks, mechanical exercises, communicative tasks, and comprehension exercises were widely used in foreign language teaching, while fiction, non-fiction, and national and international collaboration were rarely implemented into teaching. Major differences in the use of teaching strategies and materials were detected across educational levels. The results imply that training for teachers and student teachers is required, and greater attention should be given to diversifying foreign language teaching materials. Providing ready-made materials for teachers and considering the effect of the matriculation examination on teaching strategies and materials are also essential implications of this study.

Published: May 2024

O artigo faz uma abordagem sobre os desafios do fundamentalismo e tem como tarefas bem definidas: primeiro, apresentar um panorama geral sobre a história do movimento, desde seu surgimento até sua chegada ao Brasil; ainda, num segundo momento, abordar os principais desafios da ideologia fundamentalista em relação aos estudos bíblicos e à teologia. Para isso, foram percorridos os seguintes passos: primeiramente delineia-se o contexto histórico norte-americano no final do século XIX e, em estreita ligação com os acontecimentos daquela época, o surgimento do evangelho social; depois é mostrado o início do fundamentalismo e como a influência norte-americana chegou ao Brasil e a sua caracterização como uma forma de colonialidade. Breves informações são fornecidas sobre a estética fundamentalista a partir dos estudos de Júlio Zabatiero. Por fim, o artigo enfoca os desafios do fundamentalismo para a exegese e a teologia.
Comunicação Epistolar:
Authors: Reis Marcos Valério , Gonzaga Waldecir Gonzaga
Published: May 2024

RESUMO: A primeira carta de São Paulo aos Coríntios possui uma rica e densa retórica em sua estrutura formal, como na constituição de suas partes, é de extrema expressividade, o que nos leva a perceber sua habilidade em selecionar as palavras mais apropriadas. Neste sentido, este artigo objetiva analisar as estratégias argumentativas e de persuasão do apóstolo Paulo alicerçadas pela retórica. O método utilizado para analise foi o da Análise Crítica da Narrativa, uma proposição de Luiz GonzagaMotta (2013). Assim, inferimos que mesmo sem afirmar sua habilidade retórica, Paulo utiliza-se de estratégias na sua argumentação a fim de ornamentar e tornar mais adequado o seu discurso, diante de seu auditório.

Da pedagogia consumista à pedagogia da partilha
Authors: Messias Elvis Rezende , Mancilha Mariana Silva
Published: May 2024

O presente texto objetiva provocar uma reflexão sobre a Campanha da Fraternidade de 2023, oferecendo uma leitura que a coloque em diálogo com outras campanhas, em especial à de 2022. A perspectiva é inspirar para uma nova educação, mistagógica, que problematize a lógica formativa da sociedade capitalista hodierna, que convive com a contraditória e gritante realidade da fome, e oportunize uma passagem da sua dinâmica pedagógica consumista para uma pedagogia-mistagogia da partilha. Não produzimos uma análise do Texto-Base da Campanha de 2023, mas um ensaio reflexivo-provocativo a partir dele e da perícope bíblica que o sustenta, interpretando o “dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer” em chave crítica à pedagogia do consumo e ao assistencialismo.
Como Deus se revela?
Authors: Pereira Anderson Costa
Published: May 2024

O artigo apresenta um ensaio sobre o tema da Revelação. Sabe-se que o Cristianismo é uma religião de Revelação, mas como este Deus se revela? Uma resposta a esta pergunta será dada a partir de três pontos. Primeiramente, a Revelação como autocomunicação de Deus, na perspectiva da teologia de Karl Rahner. Em seguida, o Deus Trino que se revela no homem Jesus e, por fim, as situações de humanidade revelam a Deus. Assim, procura-se neste artigo fundamentar a intrínseca relação entre Revelação e humanidade e quais suas implicações, distinções e condições para que tais conceitos não sejam justapostos, mas indicadores de uma mesma realidade, o Mistério de salvação. Assim, o objetivo principal deste artigo é analisar como se dá o processo da Revelação de Deus. Para alcançar esse objetivo, foi feita uma investigação bibliográfica com uma abordagem hermenêutica que procura explicitar a questão com base em referenciais teóricos já publicados sobre a questão.
apedrejamento de Acã
Authors: Santana Vinicius
Published: May 2024

Este artigo pretende, a partir da perspectiva dos estudos do antropólogo, teólogo e historiador René Girard (1923-2015), realizar uma leitura de análise na perícope bíblica encontrada no Livro de Josué 7,1-26. Dois pontos serão trabalhados no decorrer deste artigo: 1) Inicialmente o conceito de mito para René Girard, o qual conteria uma estrutura própria de narrativa que respeita a sequência: a) caos/crise, b) rivalidades miméticas e c) a seleção de um bode expiatório. 2) A interpretação de que o mito possui tal estrutura justamente por denunciar que: a) as violências são reais, b) a crise é real, c) as vítimas são escolhidas obedecendo ao critério de marcas vitimárias, e, finalmente, d) o sentido da operação é o de eliminação do bode expiatório. Ambas abordagens serão aplicadas à perícope bíblica que narra a história da lapidação de Acã, o personagem que é vítima do fenômeno persecutório, tornando a teoria girardiana a intérprete deste texto. Por consequência, o objetivo do presente artigo é refletir as relações possíveis entre a perícope veterotestamentária com a teoria do bode expiatório de René Girard, assim como prover uma forma de interpretação que toca os métodos da hermenêutica e exegese bíblicas, provendo novas formas de análise e reflexão do texto bíblico.

INSIGHTS IN MODIFICATIONS IN THE UNDESTANDING OF A CITY AND IN THE UNDESTANDING OF URBANISM IN SERBIA
Authors: Ferenčak Miodrag
Published: May 2024

The text shows that digitization, informatization and automation, and before them "energization", are recognized as the forces behind fundamental changes in civilization. Their accompanying process, the virtualization of social and economic values and the concentration of mega-wealth, removed the earlier restrictions of the urban economy, and enabled the unlimited growth of the megalopolis, changed the priority of producers to the priority of consumers and addicts, and opened the city to unlimited accumulation and growth. At the same time, the city became an open direct resource for the exploitation of its areas and locations, while previously it was indirect (society's infrastructure for work and life). This undesirable direction must be moderated and contained (it will not disappear) by the future competition of the multipolar domains. In Serbia, dynamism and strength are less, but the dangers of concentration are the same. The tasks for urban planners are: refinement of regulations on urbanism towards content; restoring originality and creativity in urban plans through the system of previous professional surveys, and work on increasing knowledge and aesthetic and ethical standards in the regular performance of duties.

La comprensión lectora, que constituye el factor central de la investigación, permea toda actividad humana, con mayor incidencia en el campo educativo, porque a través de ella se construye la integralidad del ser al favorecer su ámbito comunicativo, sus dimensiones lingüísticas, sociales y afectivas. Para impulsarla se estableció como objetivo, proponer una secuencia didáctica que dinamizara los procesos de enseñanza aprendizaje en el desarrollo de la comprensión lectora de los estudiantes. La investigación se llevó a cabo entre los años 2020 – 2022; se realizó en la Institución Educativa Bajo Grande, del municipio de Sahagún - Córdoba, para ello se tomaron los resultados de las pruebas Saber de estudiantes de Quinto grado, los cuales evidenciaron dificultades en las competencias lectoras. En este sentido, metodológicamente la investigación se ubicó dentro del paradigma cualitativo apoyado con el método de investigación acción (IA); en este proceso participaron 20 estudiantes. Para la recolección de la información se utilizaron como técnicas: la prueba de caracterización, la observación directa y el taller investigativo, que fueron las herramientas principales para articular una propuesta basada en la secuencia didáctica a la luz de los lineamientos teóricos de Cassany (2021) y Díaz (2013). El desarrollo metodológico arrojó que más del 50% de los estudiantes se ubicaron en el nivel literal, resultados distantes de lo deseable para un estudiante del grado 5°. En conclusión, la secuencia didáctica construida de forma participativa motivó a los estudiantes a realizar lecturas con sentido crítico, aplicando técnicas de intertextualidad facilitadas por las diferentes áreas de estudio y el contexto; así mismo, exhortó a los docentes a la reflexión de su propia práctica de aula.

Se plantea la posibilidad de estudiar los compuestos químicos como melanoidinas y el 5-hidroximetilfurfural como principales indicadores de calidad y parámetros de control de proceso. La industria del mosto concentrado de uva tiene un gran potencial como economía regional y aplicación en una basta variedad de formulaciones alimentarias y por esto mismo, es significativo estudiar y desarrollar propuestasde mejora con el fin de lograr el posicionamiento y la diferenciación como producto de calidad en los mercados globales.
CURRICULOS CRÍTICOS INTERCULTURALES PARA UNA EDUCACIÓN CONTEXTUALIZADA: REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA DE LA LITERATURA
Authors: Blanchar Añez Francisco Javier
Published: May 2024

Los sistemas educativos, además de atender las necesidades en temas de cobertura, calidad y permanencia, se enfrentan a la persistencia histórica de brechas de aprendizaje y desarrollo entre las diversas comunidades. Fenómenos como las migraciones y dinámicas cambiantes de orden social y económico han generado una serie de limitaciones territoriales, de género, acceso a derechos y capacidades de formación. Estas necesidades podrían ser atendidas desde la escuela, si se da la participación de los actores educativos con propuestas curriculares pertinentes. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar las potencialidades, capacidades y problemáticas sociales, culturales y ambientales de una comunidad rural, para construir participativamente una propuesta educativa, en el marco de un currículo intercultural para la formación de los estudiantes en turismo en un corregimiento del Distrito Turístico y Cultural de Riohacha, Colombia. La ponencia presenta los resultados del proceso de revisión sistemática de la literatura científica a través de la metodología PRISMA 2020, con la revisión de 48 referencias documentales de tres fuentes (bases de datos; registros, revistas y repositorios y fuentes alternativas). Los resultados indican que la escuela y sus currículos responden a diversas perspectivas: como sistema estandarizador y homogeneizante desde la perspectiva tradicional,especialmente en naciones europeas; como ente que reconoce oficialmente la diversidad cultural que convergen en el aula (multiculturalismo), sin una atención real y práctica a estas; y, como un dispositivo de poder, empoderamiento y disputa, para reconocer y posibilitar la participación de comunidades vulneradas históricamente frente a problemáticas de índole económico, social, cultural.

La nutrigenómica es un área novedosa que puede utilizarse en la práctica médica o nutricional para personalizar las recomendaciones nutricionales en función de su ADN. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar las investigaciones relacionadas con los efectos de una dieta basada en el ADN sobre marcadores de salud y metabólicos. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de artículos hasta julio de 2022, mediante los buscadores Medline, PubMed y Scopus. Las palabras clave utilizada fue dieta basada en el ADN y se analizó sola o en asociación con otros términos como "nutrigenómica", "nutrición personalizada" y "resultados relacionados con la salud". Las personas que siguieron los consejos de la nutrición personalizada mejoraron su ingesta nutricional seleccionando mejores opciones saludables, como mayor ingesta de frutas y cereales integrales, y disminuyeron la selección de opciones poco saludables. Además, se observó un impacto en la pérdida de peso, porcentaje de grasa corporal y mejoras en diferentes marcadores de salud metabólica que la dieta convencional.

Oaxaca está constituido por 570 municipios divididos en ocho regiones, los cuales generan residuos sólidos urbanos que algunas veces son controlados por medio de rellenos sanitarios, existen seis tipos diferentes de rellenos sanitarios: relleno sanitario tipo B, tipo C, tipo D, Sitio de Disposición Final Controlado, Centro Integral de Manejo de Residuos Sólidos Intermunicipal y Centro Integral de Tratamiento de Residuos Sólidos, los cuales en el año 2021 recolectaronaproximadamente 1276 toneladas de residuos por día. En esta investigación se analizaron datos contenidos en el Directorio Estadístico Nacional de Unidades Económicas en los años 2012 al 2021 de todos los municipios de Oaxaca sobre empresas que se dedican al tratamiento de la basura, así como también se tomaron datos de la Secretaría del Medio Ambiente, Energías y Desarrollo Sustentable del año 2021 se analizó y proceso la información. Se planteó la hipótesis: “En Oaxaca las unidades económicas dedicadas al tratamiento de la basura son insuficientes”, se encontró que la mayoría de los municipios del estado no realizan un tratamiento adecuado de los residuos puesto que las unidades económicas dedicadas a ello no son suficientes. Los municipios que cuentan con un relleno sanitario de residuos sólidos urbanos, en su mayoría no realizan la separación adecuada o son rellenos sanitarios a cielo abierto, esto contribuye a la contaminación del medio ambiente, los suelos y los mantos acuíferos. Existen empresas dedicadas al manejo y reciclaje de los residuos, concentrándose en los valles centrales debido a que es donde más desechos se generan.

En el presente trabajo se presenta los resultados obtenidos al diseñar y construir una máquina desgranadora de maíz, con características mecánicas que permitan obtener un maíz limpio y entero. Se analizan las variedades de maíz de la región Norte del Estado de Tlaxcala, para determinar el maíz que cumple con las características idóneas para ser desgranado por la máquina propuesta, siendo estas: maíz semiduro y duro. La viabilidad de la tecnificación de laagricultura juega un papel de gran importancia por la demanda existente en la alimentación de la gente. La seguridad alimentaria regional y nacional, dependen de diversos factores como el clima, los apoyos al campo, el fortalecimiento de la investigación y el desarrollo para la mejora incesante de todos los aspectos de los sistemas de producción que son utilizados por los agricultores. Crear y adoptar mejoras tecnológicas se ha vuelto un requisito fundamental para que los productores de maíz, sean más competitivos. Al lograr una tecnificación la eficiencia productiva es mejor, logrando resultados en menor tiempo, con menor esfuerzo. El desgranado tecnificado se realiza para volúmenes grandes a corto tiempo, aplicando una transmisión por motor eléctrico, a partir de esto se obtiene la capacidad de producción, que es el torque que genera el motor al sistema de transmisión. Se aplican modelados computacionales por elemento finito con aplicación de SolidWorks y cálculos matemáticos para la transmisión y fuerza de desgranado. El sistema de golpeteo está calculado para diez elementos de impacto por hilera, obteniendo un maíz de buena calidad.
