Authors: Beymouri Amine , Yaghobee Siamak , Khorsand Afshin , Safi Yaser
Published: December 2023

Background. This study was conducted to compare the pain levels in patients and the clinical efficacy of grafts obtained using two techniques, namely de-epithelialized gingival graft (DGG) and subepithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG), in combination with coronally advanced flap (CAF) for the treatment of multiple adjacent gingival recessions. Methods. Twelve patients were treated using DGG+CAF on one side and SCTG+CAF on the other. The patients’ pain levels at the surgical site, the number of analgesics taken on days 3 and 7, the mean root coverage (MRC), the percentage of complete root coverage (CRC), color match, and gingival thickness (GT) at the graft recipient site were evaluated 6 months after surgery. Results. The total number of analgesics taken during the 7-day period after surgery and pain levels at the surgical site from day 3 to day 7 were significantly higher in the DGG+CAF group compared to the SCTG+CAF group (P=0.001). In the 6-month follow-up, color match and CRC were significantly higher in the SCTG+CAF group, while GT was significantly higher in the DGG+CAF group. There was no significant difference in MRC between the two groups. Conclusion. The pain and analgesic consumption levels were higher in the DGG+CAF group compared to the SCTG+CAF group, and the recipient site had a weaker color match. However, this technique can lead to a greater increase in the thickness of the grafted area.

Published: December 2023

Background: Considering the change in the life situation during the student period, attention to their health, especially the subjective well-being of students, is of particular importance. Social support is very important in this era and the aim of this study is to examine a model between subjective well-being and personality traits and irrational beliefs with the mediation of social support. Methods: The statistical population included all the students of Hacettepe University in Turkey, and 296 people were selected as a sample using a multi-stage random method. To measure subjective well-being, social support, personality traits and irrational beliefs, Subjective Well-Being Scale (Tuzgöl Dost, 2005a); Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) (Yıldırım, 2004); Adjective-Based Personality Test (Bacanlı, İlhan, & Aslan, 2009) and the Irrational Beliefs Scale Short Form (Türküm, 2003) scales were used, respectively, which were psychologically conducted in Turkey for Turkish samples and had good validity and reliability. Results: The model test through structural equations showed that there is a significant relationship between neuroticism and conscientiousness both directly and indirectly through social support and subjective well-being. In this model, the indirect relationship of agreeableness with subjective well-being through social support was significant, but extroversion, interpersonal communication, and relational self-perception could not show a significant relationship through the mediation of social support on subjective well-being. Conclusion: Neuroticism and conscientiousness are both directly and indirectly related to subjective well-being through social support. The indirect relationship of agreeableness with subjective well-being was confirmed through social support, but extroversion and interpersonal communication and self-view showed a direct relationship with well-being and the mediation of social support was not confirmed in their case.

Published: December 2023

Background: Due to the high load of the COVID-19 pandemic and its extraordinary mortality rate and some antiviral effects of cactus compounds reported in the literature, the present study aimed to assess the effect of Opuntia cactus on patients with COVID-19 infection and symptoms of disease. Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial study. Patients with COVID-19 infection who were referred to Imam Ali hospital, located in Karaj, Iran, were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. All patients received a standard treatment regimen based on the latest guidelines. Patients in the intervention group received 250 mL of Opuntia extract syrup daily. In addition to standard treatment, the control group received only the standard regimen. Patients’ symptoms including coughing, dyspnea, myalgia, headache, weakness, etc., were estimated daily and compared between the two groups. Results: Fifty-two patients participated in the study. The average length of hospital stays was significantly shorter in the intervention group; also, blood oxygen saturation below 93%, fever, anosmia, coughing, headache, dizziness, myalgia, dyspnea, chest pain, and anorexia were significantly less frequent in the intervention group compared to the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Opuntia cactus extract can improve the condition of COVID-19 patients due to symptomatic improvement in patients and decreased hospital stays. Moreover, the duration of most signs and symptoms significantly decreased in the patient group. More clinical trials are also necessary to approve this.

Published: December 2023

Background: Distal polyneuropathy is a common complication of diabetes mellitus with a considerable negative impact on the quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of dry cupping on distal polyneuropathy in diabetic patients. Methods: This controlled clinical trial was performed on 34 patients with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) for eight weeks. The non-invasive dry, fixed cupping therapy was performed on the sole of the right foot in the patients three times a week for 10 minutes, and the left foot of the same patient was considered as a control. The severity of diabetic neuropathy was measured using the modified Toronto Clinical Neuropathy Score (mTCNS), and the symptom and sensory test scores were determined. Results: Twenty patients (40 feet) completed the study. There was a significant difference between the control foot and the treated foot in terms of the mTCNS after four and eight weeks (P values=0.004 and 0.001, respectively), in terms of the sensory test scores after four and eight weeks (P values=0.007 and 0.005, respectively), and in terms of the symptom scores after eight weeks (P value=0.002). Conclusion: For the first time, this study demonstrated that cupping therapy might be effective as a complementary treatment in alleviating the symptoms of DPN, although understanding the underlying mechanism requires further investigation.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Nowadays, esthetic appearance plays an important role in the field of dentistry. Discolorations and pigmentations of the gingiva reduce the appearance of a healthy-looking smile. On this occasion, the use of lasers shows a promising approach for a fast and non-aggressive treatment in this field. Different laser wavelengths are being used for gingival depigmentation this clinical study aimed to investigate the effect of the novel laser wavelength (445 nm) in this field and compare it with an 810 nm diode laser. Methods: Two diode laser wavelengths (445 nm and 810 nm) were used for depigmentation. The laser output power chosen was 1 W. An optical fiber with a diameter of 400 µm was used. 21 patients with pigmented gingiva were selected. Depigmentation was carried out in a split-mouth design for a direct comparison of the clinical effect. Outcomes were documented by photograph after one month and six months of follow-up. Results: For each wavelength, 21 volunteers evaluated 21 clinical cases of depigmentation, which means that 441 comparisons were carried out in total regarding the color change from brownish to pinkish. A 100% clarification was achieved for 445 nm. In the 810 nm group, the color change in 44 of 441 cases (10%) could not be clearly identified. No statistically significant difference in pain experience was reported for both laser treatments. Conclusion: The clinical evaluation showed that within the limitations of this study, most of the clinical outcome parameters were highly acceptable by the patients due to mild pain and discomfort for both laser systems.

Authors: Oakes Emily , Tsao Yih , Borden Victor
Published: December 2023

Accelerating advancements in learning analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) offers unprecedented opportunities for improving educational experiences. Without including students’ perspectives, however, there is a potential for these advancements to inadvertently marginalize or harm the very individuals these technologies aim to support. This article underscores the risks associated with sidelining student voices in decision-making processes related to their data usage. By grounding data use within a social justice framework, we advocate for a more equitable and holistic approach. Drawing on previous research as well as insights we have gathered from a student panel, we outline effective methods to integrate student voices. We conclude by emphasizing the long-term implications for the institutional research field, arguing for a shift toward more inclusive and student-centric practices in the realm of learning analytics and AI-embedded supports.

Published: December 2023

Islands have a special importance in terms of biodiversity. At the same time, it is important to follow the feeding behavior of pollinators that ensure the continuation of biodiversity throughout the island. In this study, it was aimed to follow the pollen collection activities of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) on Marmara Island and to determine the pollen sources. Pollen sampling was carried out weekly during the 14 weeks from the first week of April to the first week of July when honey bees intensively carried out pollen collection activities. The sampled pollen grains were classified according to their color and examined by light microscopy. A total of 34 taxa were identified from the pollen grains. The taxa represented in significant proportions were; Rosaceae, Fabaceae, and Centaurea, Ericaceae, Brassicaceae, Cistus, Helianthemum, Vitis and Salix. They constitute a total of 79.37%. Rosaceae family pollen has been found as the most preferred taxa by honey bees for 8 weeks. The first two weeks of May was the most productive period in terms of pollen species in Marmara Island and the amount of pollen brought to the hives decreased in early July. In this study, it was tried to shed light on the pollen collection preferences of honey bees and pollination periods of honey bee used plants under conditions of Marmara Island.

Published: December 2023

Urbanization is one of the leading global trends that has a significant impact on the health of the population. The rapidly growing process of urbanization, on the one hand, is able to create new opportunities for cities, and on the other hand has a negative impact on the health and well -being of urban citizens, and undoubtedly the poor urban population is most vulnerable in obtaining proper medical services. The uneven distribution of assets - human, financial and environmental - can be so significant that it leads to significant differences in the health of the inhabitants, depending on income, gender, place of residence, cultural and ethnic origin. The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of comorbid pathology in patients with community-acquired pneumonia and to establish the risk of concomitant diseases depending on the place of residence. A retrospective study was conducted by analyzing the medical records of 213 patients, of whom 134 live in the city, 97 in the village. The analysis of the structure of comorbidity and the calculation of the relative risk of comorbidity in patients with community-acquired pneumonia showed a probable probability of its combination with arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease in patients living in the city, with an increase in the relative risk of their comorbidity, respectively, by 7.2 times and 6.0 times. Similar statistically significant associations were established between community-acquired pneumonia and arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease with an increase in the relative risk of their comorbidity by 11.3 and 6.3 times, respectively, among villagers with community-acquired pneumonia. It is also worth noting that the prevalence of arterial hypertension is probably higher in rural residents with community-acquired pneumonia compared to urban residents. At the same time, the incidence of type 2 diabetes was likely higher in patients with community-acquired pneumonia living in the city compared to rural residents with community-acquired pneumonia.

Keywords: arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, comorbidity.

Authors: GENÇLER Aylin , KARASALİHOĞLU Serap Tevhide
Published: December 2023

Amaç: Bu çalışmada çocukluk çağı epilepsilerinde yaygın kullanımda olan antiepileptik ilaçların, hastaların kemik mineral metabolizmasında yaptığı değişiklikler araştırılırken, daha kolay ve düşük maliyetli parametrelerden olan Kalsitriol İndeks ve PTH İndeksinin bu hastaların takiplerinde kullanılabilirliği amaçlandı.
Materyal-Metod: Çalışmaya hastanemizin çocuk nöroloji polikliniğinde idiopatik epilepsi tanısı konularak ilk kez antiepileptik tedavi (valproik asit, karbamazepine, fenobarbital) başlanan 3-14 yaş arası 55 hasta ve benzer demogrofik özellikteki 32 kontrol olgu dahil edildi. İlaç başlanmadan önce ve tedavi başlandıktan en az 6-12 ay sonra hastaların serumundan kalsiyum (Ca), fosfor (P), Alkalen fosfataz (ALP), Paratiroid Hormon (PTH), 25-(OH)D3, osteokalsin düzeyleri bakıldı, PTH İndeksi, Kalsitriol İndeksi hesaplandı.
Bulgular: Hastalarının ilaç kullanım öncesi değerleri, ilaç kullanım sonrası ve kontrol grubu değerleri ile karşılaştırıldığında Ca değerleri arasında anlamlı fark bulunmazken, P ve 25-(OH)D3 düzeyleri anlamlı olarak düşüktü (sırasıyla p<0,001, p<0,001). Alkalen fosfataz, PTH ve osteokalsin düzeyleri anlamlı olarak yüksek saptandı (sırasıyla p<0,05, p<0,004, p<0,001). Hasta grubunun Kalsitriol İndeks ve PTH İndeks parametreleri de anlamlı olarak düşük bulundu (sırasıyla p<0,001, p<0,001). Olguların ilaç kullanım sonrasındaki biyokimyasal parametreleri raşitizm evrelemesine göre evrelendirildi. Buna göre 8 (%14) olgu evre 2 raşitizm bulguları gösteriyordu. Bu 8 olgu baz alındığında; PTH ile PTH İndeksinin duyarlılık, özgüllük, pozitif prediktif, negatif prediktif değerleri yüksek bulundu. Kalsitriol indeksin duyarlılığı düşüktü. Bununla birlikte PTH İndeksi ile PTH, Kalsitriol İndeks ile D vitamini arasında değersel korelasyon kurulamadı. Buna ilişkin olarak PTH indeksinin PTH düzeyini yansıtmadığı halde, osteopenik olguları değerlendirmede PTH ve PTH indeksinin değerli olduğunu sonucuna vardık. Kemik mineral ölçümleri evre 2 raşitizm bulguları gösteren 8 olguda yapıldığında referans değerlere göre normal olduğu gözlendi.
Sonuç: Valproik asit, karbamazepine, fenobarbital alan hastalarda kemik mineral metabolizması etkilenmekte, bu hastalarda biyokimyasal değişiklikler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Tanı ve takipte tüm parametrelerin birlikte kullanılması tanısal değeri arttırmaktadır. Ama bunun yanı sıra PTH ve PTH İndeksi de raşitizm evrelemesine göre osteopenik olguları belirlemede kullanılabilecek değerli parametreler arasında yer alabilir.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: The study aimed to identify cognitive distortions among juvenile drug abusers in Jordan.
Methods: The sample consisted of (55) male juveniles in short-term detention at Al-Zohour Security Center, using the available method. The cognitive Distortions scale was applied to them after extracting its validity and reliability.
Results: The results indicated that the level of cognitive distortions was moderate and that cognitive distortion “minimization and maximization” came at a high level while “reading what was in the minds of others” came last at a low level. The results also showed no significant differences attributed to the effect of the family’s monthly income in all areas except in excessive generalization” in favor of those with monthly income from 500 to 1000 JD. There were no significant differences due to the effect of birth order.
 Conclusion: It was found that cognitive distortions exist among juveniles who are drug abusers to a moderate degree, and this means that these juveniles have a problem regarding the use of these cognitive distortions. These individuals need to know the reality of these distortions and the extent of their impact on its lives. The study recommends designing and implementing counseling programs to reduce these distortions thus reducing the use of drugs, and replacing them with effective coping strategies in dealing with life stressors.

Authors: Sabah Faisal Yousef , Ghazal Sana’a Khaled , Burqan Mohammad Abdallah
Published: December 2023

Objectives: To examine the capacity of Nablus city`s urban administration to reconfigure its urban space, by revealing the extent to which the structural plans are implemented on the land as intended and in a way that results in sustainable urban development.

Methods: The comparative approach was used, the study was conducted on the structural plan approved in 1996 and 2013 and compared with aerial photographs taken in 2011 and 2018, and three sectors were used for analysis and comparison: infrastructure (roads), public services (schools), and tourism and recreation (parks and green spaces).

Results: The results showed concluded that successive administrations of Nablus city have failed to remodel the urban space since 1996. Only 45.8% of the proposed road network was built for the years of the first structure plan 1996-2012 and that 58.1% of the area destined for parks and green areas had been converted to other use. The analysis revealed that 83.6% of schools were built outside public service spaces, according to the 1996 and 2013 plans, and the green area decreased between 2013 and 2018 by an amount of 64,047 m², which corresponds to 32.8% of the total area, according to the 2013 plan.

Conclusions: The study recommends reconsidering the fundamentals of drafting structural plans and supervising their implementation, and the need for municipal authorities to act more forcefully on green degradation.

الأهداف: جاءت الدراسة لتسليط الضوء على دور الأمير مودود في مقاومة الغزو الصليبي وتتبع دوره في تبني سياسة الجهاد ضد القوى الصليبية في المشرق الإسلامي.
المنهجية: ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة اعتمدت الدراسة على تطبيق المنهج التحليلي في دراسة أحداث فترة الدراسة والوقوف على أهم التداخلات التي صاغت تاريخ منطقة المشرق الإسلامي من خلال تحليل المعلومات التي وردت في بطون المصادر ذات الصلة. وإعادة قراءة نصوص تلك المصادر وفحصها بطريقة تخدم أهداف الدراسة.
النتائج: جاء دور "شرف الدين مودود" مكملًا لدور من سبقه من أمراء الموصل في التصدي للمد الصليبي، وقد سار على نهجهم في الدعوة إلى تشكيل تحالف إسلامي لتحقيق هذه الغاية، وبذلك يكون ممن أسس لمقاومة الزحف الصليبي على المشرق الإسلامي، ومهد الطريق لمن جاء بعده لاستكمال هذا النهج. وقد خلصت الدراسة إلى أن أتابكية مودود على قصرها كانت نقطة تحول في تاريخ الصراع الإسلامي الصليبي. وقف فيها مودود مدافعًا عنيدًا في وجه الخطر الصليبي على الشام حتى أثمرت جهوده في توحيد القوى الإسلامية واندماجها فيما بعد تحت راية صلاح الدين حتى دفع حياته ثمنًا لمواقفه تلك.
التوصيات: ضرورة إعادة النظر في دراسة الكثير من الشخصيات الإسلامية التي كان لها التأثير الكبير في صياغة تاريخ  منطقة المشرق الإسلامي من خلال إعادة فحص ما ورد من نصوص في المصادر.

Authors: Najjar Muslih , Ujayli Shahla
Published: December 2023

الشعر الحرّ(غير الموزون) عند جبرا إبراهيم جبرا، وقد ظل فيها مخلصًا للاستغناء عن عنصري الوزن والقافية، والاستعاضه عنهما بالإيقاع الداخلي، وهو إيقاع الفكرة، التي تتطور في هذه المجموعة، إذ يمكن تتبّعها عبر قصائدها المتعلقِ بعضُها ببعضها الآخر، والمرقمة من 1 إلى 7 وكأنها مقاطع من قصيدة واحدة طويلة.
المنهجيّة: يلاحق البحث الفكرة الأساسية التي قامت عليها نصوص هذه المجموعة الشعريّة، وهي فكرة حتمية تجاور العناصر المتضادّة والمتجاورة في آن معًا، لرصد حضورها النصّيّ، بما يشكّل إيقاعًا بديلًا في هذه المجموعة الشعريّة.
النتائج: يتجاور في المجموعة الشعرية على امتداد نصوصها عنصرًا الفرح والحزن، والسعادة والشقاء، ومرادفاتها، مثلما تتجاور جميعها في حياة الإنسان على نحو عادل وعادي، وتجلّى تجاور هذه العناصر من خلال حقلين دلاليين سيطرا بتوزيع عادل على سطور المجموعة وعلى جملها، ومقاطعها، ضمن نسق من إعادة إنتاج الفكرة، أو تطويرها، لتُسلم كلُّ قصيدة منها إلى الأخرى، فيُعاد إنتاج الفكرة من دون تأجيج الصراع، أو إظهار التناقض، وذلك بالتسليم بعاديّة تجاور النقائض في الحياة البشرية.
الخلاصة: استعاض جبرا في هذه المجموعة عن الإيقاع الوزني والصوتيّ بإيقاعات معنوية بديلة، ضمن نسقيّة واعية، وحالة متعمّدة من إعادة إنتاج الفكرة.

Authors: Al-Billeh Tareq , Abu Issa Hamzeh
Published: December 2023

Objectives: This study seeks to elucidate the significance of Jordanian women's political engagement in parliamentary elections by assessing their participation rights, examining the process of women's candidacy within the quota system, and evaluating their representation in open electoral competition.
Methods: The research used the descriptive analytical method to identify the nature of Jordanian women's participation in the elections of the nineteenth parliament for (2020). This was conducted by analyzing the texts of the Jordanian Constitution and those of the Election Law for the parliament as well as identifying their contents, implications and objectives to find appropriate solutions to ensure the participation of Jordanian women in the parliamentary elections in addition to the study and analysis of statistical tables.
Results: The results indicated that the Parliament’s Election Law granted Jordanian women the right to vote for membership in the Parliament while the Jordanian women participated as voters and candidates in the 19th Parliament elections for the year (2020). Yet, the results showed that the Election Law specified a mechanism for Jordanian women's candidacy for the women's quota and determined the extent of Jordanian women's representation through free competition for the electoral district.
Conclusions: The study recommended the necessity that the competent authorities in Jordan shall review the Election Law for the Parliament periodically together with the need to amend the Election Law to specify a quota for women in the seats allocated to the Circassians, Chechens and Christians to ensure real equality in rights and duties between men and women

أثر تغيير التكييف الفقهي لمنتج الوكالة بالاستثمار في المؤسسات المالية الإسلامية على حكمها، وأعمالها فيها
Authors: Alhadiyah Mohammad Ali
Published: December 2023

الأهداف: تُعَد الوكالة بالاستثمار أكثرَ المنتجات المالية تطبيقًا في عمل مؤسسات الاستثمار الإسلامية. يهدف البحث إلى إبراز أثر التكييف الفقهي في ضبط عمل المؤسسات الإسلامية، وإبراز أثره في منتج الوكالة بالاستثمار في المؤسسات المالية الإسلامية.
المنهجية: واتبعت الدراسة المنهج الوصفي؛ بجمع الأقوال والتكييفات من مصادرها، كما تم اتباع المنهج المقارن في عرض المسائل الفقهية، والمنهج التحليلي في مناقشة الآراء وأدلتها.
النتائج: توصلت الدراسة إلى ان التكييف الفقهي لعقد الوكالة بالاستثمار يحدد بما يناسب الغاية التي من أجلها تم استخدام هذا العقد، ففي الودائع والمدخرات تكون الوكالة مطلقة للمؤسسة المالية، أما استخدام الوكالة للتعامل مع المؤسسات المالية الأخرى أو لإيجاد السيولة تكون الوكالة مقيدة، وقد تكون مع جواز التعاقد مع النفس، وتوصلت الدراسة إلى أن سبب تغيير التكييف من الوكالة المطلقة إلى المقيدة هو تغيير طريقة استخدام هذا المنتج من الاستثمار إلى تلبية حاجات التمويل.
الخلاصة: أهمية دراسة التكييف الفقهي لمنتج عقد الوكالة وأن الأحكام الفقهية لمنتج الوكالة بالاستثمار تختلف حسب التكييف الفقهي للعقد. توصي الدراسة الباحثين إلى دراسة أثر التكييفات الفقهية على الأحكام الفقهية في مختلف منتجات التمويل الإسلامية.

المنهجية: اعتمدت هذه الدراسة المنهج الوصفي بجانبيه؛ التحليلي لنصوص قانون الشركات والتشريعات ذات العلاقة، والعملي المتمثل بأحكام القضاء. وتم تقسيم هذه الدراسة إلى مطلبين رئيسين: الأول يبحث في أثر التحول على الخصائص العامة لرأسمال وأسهم الشركة، والثاني يبحث في أثر التحول على خصائص كل نوع من أنواع أسهم الشركة المساهمة الخاصة.
النتائج: يستلزم تحول الشركة المساهمة الخاصة إلى عامة التغيير في أحكام رأسمالها، كما أن ذلك يؤدي إلى خضوع أسهمها لمبدأ النظام القانوني بعد أن كان يحكمها مبدأ حرية الإرادة. وكأثر للتحول أيضا تزول امتيازات الأسهم وقابليتها للاسترداد واختلاف فئاتها وأنواعها وقيمتها الاسمية لتصبح من نوع واحد هي الأسهم العادية، إضافة إلى أن هذا التحول لن يؤدي إلى منع مؤسسي الشركة المتحولة من بيع أسهمهم فور إدراجها بالسوق المالي.
الخلاصة: تؤثر عملية التحول على أحكام الشركة المتحولة؛ فيما يتعلق برأسمالها وأسهمها وامتيازاتها وحرية الشركاء في بيع أسهمهم. هناك ضرورة أن يصدر المشرع الأردني تعليمات خاصة بأسهم خزينة وأخرى خاصة بإدراج وتداول الأوراق المالية التي تصدرها الشركة المساهمة الخاصة.
Efectos sobre la peroxidación de mitocondrias y microsomas hepáticas de ratas Wistar, análisis fitoquímico y genotoxicidad de Cestrum parqui L’Her (“duraznillo negro”, Solanaceae) y Pascalia glauca Ortega (“sunchillo”, Asteraceae)

Las plantas tóxicas de importancia agropecuaria son aquellas que, ingeridas por los animales domésticos, causan daño a su salud y pueden provocar la muerte. De importancia en Medicina Veterinaria son Cestrum parqui L’Her (“duraznillo negro”, Solanaceae) y Pascalia glauca Ortega (“sunchillo”, Asteraceae), ambas hepatotóxicas. La toxicidad se debe a compuestos parquina e hidroxiparquina para Cestrum parqui y un atractilósido en Pascalia glauca, capaces de inhibir el sistema carrier ADP-ATP. Se plantea como hipótesis que los compuestos químicos presentes en Cestrum parqui y Pascalia glauca se comportan como prooxidantes de membranas celulares, provocando la peroxidación de membranas de microsomas y mitocondrias hepáticas, aumentando el estrés oxidativo y que ciertos principios químicos de ambas plantas poseen efectos genotóxicos en células CHO. Los análisis fitoquímicos cualitativos demostraron presencia de flavonoides, taninos, hidroxilos polifenólicos, lípidos, glúcidos, esteroides, alcaloides, saponinas, y ausencia de cardenólidos y leucoantocianinas. En los estudios de peroxidación con extractos metanólicos de Cestrum parqui y Pascalia glauca se observó que poseen capacidad antioxidante atribuible a la presencia de compuestos polifenólicos como flavonoides y taninos, resultando más protegidas las membranas mitocondriales versus microsomales. Los estudios de genotoxicidad realizados demuestran que, en las condiciones de trabajo realizadas, los extractos de ambas plantas poseen capacidad genotóxica dosis dependiente.

This book delves into the multifaceted relationship between business strategies, administrative roles, and education's potential in addressing poverty challenges. It begins by presenting a set of comprehensive Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that offer a quantitative approach to business performance, emphasizing metrics for income, profit, growth, and risk management. Such indices underline the necessity for robust, precise performance measurements, given their potential to guide pivotal business decisions. Transitioning from this quantitative lens, the work dives into the strategic interplay between corporate pursuits and socio-economic development, arguing that businesses can achieve both profitability and meaningful contributions to poverty alleviation. Through a game theoretical perspective, it provides empirical evidence suggesting that sustainable and ethically-minded business strategies can lead to mutual benefits for both shareholders and wider society. Lastly, by bringing the aspect of inclusive language education to the fore, the book identifies it as an essential tool for poverty mitigation, emphasizing the role of corporate initiatives in fostering educational programs. Corporations, in their capacities, are emerging as prominent agents in societal change, using their influence and resources to spur development, particularly in areas of language education. In essence, this book posits that businesses can successfully integrate and balance profit motives with larger societal goals, particularly in poverty alleviation, leveraging both strategic operations and the potential of education. Through a blend of rigorous statistical analysis and qualitative insights, it provides a comprehensive roadmap for businesses aiming to navigate the complex landscape of modern socio-economic challenges.
El efecto del número de opciones de respuesta sobre las propiedades psicométricas de la medida de estrés con un instrumento aplicado a niños
Authors: González-Betanzos Fabiola , Leenen Iwin , Lira-Mandujano Jennifer , Vega-Valero Zaira
Published: December 2023

El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo analizar mediante modelos de la Teoría de Respuesta al Ítem (TRI) el efecto que tiene el número de alternativas de respuesta sobre las propiedades psicométricas de un test que mide estrés infantil. En el presente estudio se aplicó la escala de “Percepción de Estrés para Niños” (IPEI) de 30 ítems a 583 niños, los ítems tenían diferentes alternativas de respuesta (3, 5 o 7). Se estudio si las escalas miden el mismo rasgo y si las alternativas que tienen las mismas etiquetas son equivalentes. Como evidencias de validez se presentan medidas que examinan la estructura interna del instrumento y su relación con otras variables. Los resultados indican que las tres escalas miden el mismo rasgo pero no existe equivalencia entre las categorías. El ajuste de escala de 7 alternativas de respuesta es mejor, sin embargo, la validez en relación con otras variables es óptima para 5 alternativas de respuesta, que además muestra el mejor comportamiento en términos de fiabilidad e información.
