La pandemia de COVID-19 y la afectación de dos huracanes en el 2020, hicieron evidente la vulnerabilidad del sistema alimentario de Honduras. Estos sucesos mostraron la necesidad de fortalecer el involucramiento de los diferentes actores del sistema para la toma oportuna de decisiones hacia una alimentación saludable y sostenible. En este documento se identificaron problemáticas como la poca diversificación en la producción de alimentos, el difícil acceso a la alimentación sana y nutritiva, el consumo de alimentos ultra-procesados y las consecuencias en la salud de la población hondureña. Dichas consecuencias se ven reflejadas en la prevalencia de enfermedades no transmisibles como la diabetes, hipertensión arterial, anemia, sobrepeso, obesidad, condiciones de retraso de crecimiento en niños menores a 5 años y la doble carga de la malnutrición. Por lo anterior, se propone que las estrategias de intervención en el sistema alimentario estén orientadas a la salud pública, a través de políticas que conduzcan al cambio de los ambientes alimentarios y respondan a la producción, transformación y consumo de alimentos sostenibles. Esta estrategia debe incluir la promoción de medios de vida a favor de garantizar la nutrición, seguridad y soberanía alimentaria de la población. Es necesario la articulación del gobierno con los productores, la empresa privada, instituciones de apoyo, sociedad civil organizada y la academia, como eslabones en los que se pueda transitar a la implementación de estrategias sensibles a la nutrición.

Authors: Roggero Solari Dante Renato
Published: December 2023

El artículo tuvo como propósito identificar los factores que explican el escaso escalamiento de las innovaciones en MineduLAB de Perú. La metodología tuvo un enfoque cualitativo, el diseño sistematizó una crítica a las innovaciones con resultados, identificando características comunes y particulares que permitieron postular los factores que explican el escaso escalamiento de las innovaciones. Entre los resultados se identificó un ciclo de innovación sin incentivos, con intereses dispersos; también el ciclo de innovación es vulnerable a la inestabilidad institucional y política; hay una limitada participación del usuario en el proceso; posee resultados limitados que quedan como pequeñas experiencias; y hay un liderazgo débil. De lo mencionado, se ha logrado concluir que la innovación pública es poco valorada y no alcanza siempre el escalamiento, a pesar de obtener resultados en los proyectos piloto. Finalmente, se concluye que es fundamental el rol de un servidor y líder moderno con capacidad para tomar riesgos, adaptable al cambio, pero sobre todo entender la innovación como parte de alcanzar resultados y no como trabajo extra.

Published: December 2023

This research on the autonomous learning of English as a second language (L2) was carried out in conjunction with pre-intermediate English students from La Gran Colombia University (UGC) and the School of Languages and Dialects of the National Army (ESIDE). The main objective was to implement the autonomous learning strategies of English as a L2 in the population sample. Initially, a review of background information related to the theoretical bases was carried out, for which the following categories of analysis were established: Autonomous Learning, Competencies and Abilities, Metacognition and New Technologies of English. The methodology used was mixed with a quantitative predominance under a quasi-experimental design, and we worked with an intentional probabilistic sample. All of the above was carried out through the implementation of instruments such as a competency level pre-test, a semi-structured questionnaire and a post-test, which allowed the results to be contrasted and analyzed. Finally, the results show that more than half of the population obtained academic improvement thanks to the implementation of 27 strategies for autonomous learning of English. Likewise, the adoption of an autonomous culture in their academic and professional lives is evident.

Published: December 2023

Los huecos de tensión (también llamados sags o dips) son uno de los fenómenos eléctricos más comunes existentes en la red eléctrica, y consiste en la reducción del valor eficaz de tensión durante un breve periodo. Ya que a los fabricantes de equipos eléctricos y electrónicos se le exige cierta tolerancia a este fenómeno eléctrico. Se requiere de un dispositivo capaz de generar huecos de tensión de forma controlada fuera de la red eléctrica, con el propósito de poder realizar pruebas de robustez y verificar que se cumplan las normativas que caracterizan el fenómeno como lo serían SEMI-F47, CBEMA y la curva ITIC. Teniendo en consideración lo anterior, se diseñó y construyó un equipo capaz de generarlos, y de alimentar una carga que demande una corriente considerable haciendo uso de equipo con suficiente capacidad para suministrar energía, y con a la opción de establecer parámetros como la magnitud, tiempo y velocidad de lectura de datos, mediante una interfaz gráfica intuitiva que fue diseñada mediante LabVIEW. A pesar de que existen pequeñas limitantes, estos equipos pueden ser despreciados si se tiene en consideración que el coste de implementación es hasta seis veces más económica que la opción comercial más barata existente en el mercado. El dispositivo puede ser utilizado para equipos que demanden 1 kVA.

tempi del diritto
Authors: Pecile Veronica
Published: December 2023

In questo contributo si introduce un approccio temporale al diritto come potenzialmente innovativo per la teoria e la pratica giuridica. Si sostiene che un’analisi del rapporto tra diritto e tempo sia cruciale per attuare un decentramento del soggetto convenzionalmente inteso nel diritto moderno occidentale e per concepire strumenti giuridici in grado di riconoscere reti, legami e assemblaggi. L’attuale fase di cambiamento climatico e crisi ecologica viene interpretata come un contesto in cui è possibile ripensare le forme giuridiche fondamentali del diritto moderno, e del diritto privato in particolare, per consentire l’ingresso di temporalità non lineari e non umane nel pensiero e nella tecnica giuridica.
The Phenomenon and Effects of Fear of Missing Out
Authors: Zhong Pingyini
Published: December 2023

Both the use of social media and the fear of missing out are closely connected in daily lives, and this phenomenon has attracted attention. Through literature retrieval and analysis, the phenomenon and effects of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on social media will be explained in this study. The effects are separated into direct effects and indirect effects. The results show that mental health (anxiety, depression) and emotions (boredom, loneliness, and feelings of pressure/fear of exclusion) are affected directly, whereas perception (self-esteem, rumination, and mindful attention) and lifestyle (daily life, working, and learning) are affected indirectly. The results show that there is a higher likelihood that someone's mental health, emotions, and way of life may suffer as a result of having a higher level of FoMO. However, a special case of emotion, boredom, can be both positively and negatively influenced. After that, the possible courses of action will be listed, in terms of helping people who suffer from FoMO.

A case about the usefulness of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring in the surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism
Authors:   Korean Intraoperative Neural Monitoring Society, Lee Seungho , Kim Su-jin
Published: December 2023

Surgical resection is the primary treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism, and historically, bilateral exploration was the preferred approach. However, advancements in imaging technologies, including ultrasound, CT, MIBI scan, and Choline PET, have improved lesion localization accuracy, resulting in the increased utilization of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement (IOPTH) serves as a crucial tool for evaluating treatment outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. IOPTH measurement is conducted during parathyroidectomy to confirm appropriate gland removal and assess the postoperative function of the remaining glands. Therefore, IOPTH measurement is a valuable tool for evaluating the effectiveness of parathyroidectomy and predicting treatment outcomes. This report presents a successful case of the accurate removal of a parathyroid lesion through IOPTH measurement in a patient undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, with a review of the relevant literature.

Authors: Narayanasami Sangeetha , Joseph Michael Sammanasu , Parayitam Satyanarayana
Published: December 2023

This study aims to empirically examine the effect of Big-Five personality traits on employee engagement. A carefully crafted survey instrument was developed, and data were collected from 486 employees working in the banking sector in southern India. After checking the instrument’s measurement properties, data was analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling by the Smart-PLS (partial least squares). The results indicate (i) extraversion and agreeableness were positively related to vigor, (ii) conscientiousness is positively related to dedication and absorption, (iii) neuroticism is negatively related to dedication, and (iv) openness to experience is positively related to vigor and absorption. Contrary to what was hypothesized, the results suggest that (i) extraversion is negatively related to absorption, (ii) agreeableness is negatively related to dedication, (iii) neuroticism is positively related to vigor, and (iv) openness to experience is negatively related to dedication. This research demonstrates that all five dimensions of personality characteristics have different impacts on employee engagement. This research advances the bourgeoning literature on personality and employee engagement. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.
Microbial Inoculants in Agriculture - A Microbiological Review from A Nigerian Perspective
Authors: Ewubare P O , Omokaro G O , Ewansiha O E , Edosa J O
Published: December 2023

Chemical compounds are absorbed by most crops from the soil. Several synthetic fertilizers contain acid radicals, such as hydrochloride and sulfuric radicals, thus increasing soil acidity and adversely affecting soil and plant health. Some plants can also absorb highly recalcitrant compounds. Continuous consumption of such crops can lead to systematic disorders in humans. A reliable alternative to the use of chemical inputs is microbial inoculants, which can act as biofertilizers, bioherbicides, biopesticides, and biocontrol agents. Microorganisms are capable of promoting plant growth, and controlling pests, diseases, and weeds. Microbial inoculants are beneficial microorganisms applied either to the soil or the plant to improve productivity and crop health. These natural-based products are widely used to control pests and enhance soil and crop quality, thereby benefiting human health. Microbial inoculants consist of a blend of microorganisms that work with the soil and its inhabitants to improve soil fertility and health, ultimately benefiting human health. They have the ability to minimize the negative impact of chemical inputs, thereby increasing the quantity and quality of farm produce. This review paper summarizes the effects of microbial inoculants on agricultural soil in Nigeria by examining relevant works related to the topic. To achieve this, databases such as Google Scholar, Frontier in Microbiology, African Journals Online (AJOL), Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) were explored to identify studies on the effects of microbial inoculants on agricultural soil in Nigeria.

Published: December 2023

This study explores the potential of harnessing epigenetic modifications for targeted trait manipulation in Pakistani wheat varieties. Epigenetic regulation is pivotal in modulating gene expression patterns and can be leveraged to enhance agronomic traits. A diverse panel of Pakistani wheat varieties was subjected to comprehensive epigenetic profiling, encompassing DNA methylation and histone modification analyses. CRISPR-based epigenetic editing targeted specific genes associated with disease resistance, yield, and nutritional content. Field trials were conducted to evaluate the agronomic performance of edited lines. Epigenetic profiling revealed distinct DNA methylation and histone modification patterns across the selected wheat varieties. Targeted epigenetic editing amplified disease resistance, enhanced yield potential, and enriched nutritional content. Disease incidence and severity were significantly reduced in edited lines. Additionally, increased tiller number, larger grain size, and elevated levels of essential nutrients were observed. This research demonstrates the feasibility and efficacy of employing epigenetic modifications for precise trait manipulation in Pakistani wheat. The study provides valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying disease resistance, yield, and nutritional traits. Collaborative efforts among geneticists, molecular biologists, and plant breeders are essential in further refining and implementing these innovative breeding techniques. The findings pave the way for developing resilient and nutritionally enriched wheat varieties, contributing to global food security and agricultural sustainability.

Published: December 2023

Objective Geriatric patients requiring gynecological surgery is increasing worldwide. However, older patients are at higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality, particularly cardiopulmonary complications. Laparoscopic surgery is widely used as a minimally invasive method for reducing postoperative morbidities. We compared the outcomes of open and laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries in patients older than 55 years.Methods We included patients aged >55 years who underwent gynecological surgery at a single tertiary center between 2010 and 2020, excluding vaginal or ovarian cancer surgeries were excluded. Surgical outcomes were compared between the open surgery and laparoscopic groups, with age cutoff was set at 65 years for optimal discriminative power. We performed linear or logistic regression analyses to compare the surgical outcomes according to age and operation type.Results Among 2,983 patients, 28.6% underwent open surgery and 71.4% underwent laparoscopic surgery. Perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery were better than those of open surgery in all groups. In both the open and laparoscopic surgery groups, the older patients showed worse overall surgical outcomes. However, age-related differences in perioperative outcomes were less severe in the laparoscopic group. In the linear regression analysis, the differences in estimated blood loss, transfusion, and hospital stay between the age groups were smaller in the laparoscopy group. Similar results were observed in cancer-only and benign-only cohorts.Conclusion Although the surgical outcomes were worse in the older patients, the difference between age groups was smaller for laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery offers more advantages and safety in patients aged >65 years.

Authors: Smirnova Elena , Larionov Arkadij , Shkarovskiy Alexander
Published: December 2023

The authors analyse the standardisation of risk management as an effective tool for the safety of design solutions in residential construction. The analysed regulatory documentation answers the question of achieving an acceptable level of risk. Within the framework of improving environmental management, the use of specific penalties looks quite natural. However, the primary purpose of ISO 14001 is to form a responsible attitude toward the environment and natural resources as the most crucial assets of economic activity. The article raises the issue that domestic standards cannot thoroughly guide risk analysts due to their lack of development and inconsistency with ISO 31000:2018 and ISO 14001:2016. It is necessary to develop a unique approach to risk assessment, de facto describing the interaction of different scenarios, which will ensure an increase in the environmental and economic effects in the field of housing safety.

The aim of this paper was to investigate the challenges of the mobility of adverbs among KRI University students. The instrument used for data collection was the open-ended questionnaire created via a Google Form with a five-item structure shared with participants. SPSS version 21 software was used to analyze the data, which was deployed at five universities in KRI at the upper secondary level to evaluate how effectively the respondents used adverbs. The results were examined using simple percentages. Many of the respondents were found to often place adverbs in ways that led to illegible and unclear sentences. Additionally, some students were found to misuse classes of words, using one when they should use the other. Since adverbs cannot just be used in every sentence positions, the study concluded that adverbs and adverbials genuinely display restricted mobility occurring in just three positions: initial, middle and final. Accordingly, the result of the study of adverb movement depends largely on the adverb's subtype and nature which have a significant role in determining its mobility.

This research explores innovative strategies to improve students' vocabulary mastery in English language teaching. Utilizing cognitive skill-based approaches, such as the "working with words" strategy, the study aims to create an effective and engaging learning environment. The research employs various methods, including observations, document analysis, recordings, and treatment procedures. Initial observations indicate that students possess a reasonable level of cognitive skills, providing a foundation for vocabulary acquisition. However, subsequent assessments reveal a decline in vocabulary proficiency, prompting the need for intervention. To address this issue, cognitive skill-based strategies, such as the "category game" and "contextual reading clues," are applied in the teaching process. These strategies aim to tap into students' intellectual capacities, motivating independent learning. Post-treatment results show significant improvement, with the contextual reading clues strategy leading to a remarkable 91.30% increase in vocabulary proficiency. In conclusion, cognitive skill-based strategies have a substantial impact on students' cognitive behaviors and vocabulary acquisition. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating vocabulary learning with reading exercises, continuous assessment, and progress recording. It underscores the significance of vocabulary mastery for language proficiency and calls for the integration of such strategies into language teaching practices.

Published: December 2023

Substance abuse, especially among adolescents, has long been an important issue in society. In light of the adverse impact of substance abuse, scholars, educators, and policy-makers have proposed different approaches to prevent and reduce such abuse. This paper investigates the effectiveness of the two prominent approaches—educational and deterrent—in preventing and reducing adolescent substance abuse. The educational approach (e.g., school-based prevention programming) tends to be more comprehensive and better grounded in theories than the deterrent approach (e.g., drug testing). The educational approach not only targets multiple psychosocial factors contributing to substance abuse, but it is also supported by empirical studies showing that school-based prevention programming is effective in preventing substance abuse and has long-lasting positive influences on adolescent development. Practical implications of implementing school-based prevention programming are also discussed. L'abus d'alcool ou d'autres drogues, surtout chez les adolescents, constitue depuis longtemps une préoccupation importante de la société. À la lumière de l'impact défavorable de cet abus, les chercheurs, enseignants et décideurs ont proposé différentes approches pour le prévenir et le limiter. Cet article porte sur l'efficacité de deux approches importantes, l'une pédagogique, l'autre dissuasive, visant la prévention et la réduction de l'abus d'alcool ou d'autres drogues chez les adolescents. L'approche pédagogique (par ex. les programmes de prévention en milieu scolaire) est, de façon générale, plus globale et mieux fondée sur les théories que l'approche dissuasive (par ex. dépistage des drogues). Non seulement l'approche pédagogique cible-t-elle les divers facteurs psychosociaux qui contribuent à cet abus, elle est de plus appuyée par des études empiriques indiquant que les programmes de prévention en milieu scolaire sont des outils efficaces dans la prévention de l'abus d'alcool ou d'autres drogues et qu'ils ont un impact positif à long terme sur le développement des adolescents. Nous discutons des répercussions pratiques de la mise en œuvre des programmes de prévention en milieu scolaire.
Artificial Intelligence for Climate Security: Possibilities and Challenges
Authors: Kim Kyungmee , Vincent Boulanin
Published: December 2023

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI)—largely based on machine learning—offer possibilities for addressing climate-related security risks. AI can, for example, make disaster early-warning systems and long-term climate hazard modelling more efficient, reducing the risk that the impacts of climate change will lead to insecurity and conflict. This SIPRI Policy Report outlines the opportunities that AI presents for managing climate-related security risks. It gives examples of the use of AI in the field and delves into the problems—notably methodological and ethical—associated with the use of AI for climate security. The report concludes with recommendations for policymakers and researchers who are active in the area of climate security or who use AI for sustainability.
