ABSTRACT

A couple visited the IVF clinic to seek treatment for primary infertility. A 45-year-old quadragenarian female and her 49-year-old male partner were recommended infertility treatment after 2 years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive. The woman had a recent history of dengue and chickenpox. The male partner was advised to do a semen analysis. The report showed asthenoteratozoospermia and the semen sample viscous. On the other hand, the female was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The male patient was given a 3-month medication treatment that included probiotic supplements and cranberry juice to treat bacterial infections and urinary tract infections. The male partner also advised medication, and regular semen analysis was performed after every 3 months. The treatment plan included intrauterine insemination (IUI), which increased the possibility of pregnancy. Fourteen days following the IUI and pregnancy test, the outcomes were positive. The case illustrates the difficulties in treating primary infertility by combining reproductive procedures, medication, and lifestyle modifications. Regularly monitoring semen quality and hormonal levels is crucial in assessing treatment success. The positive outcome of IUI suggests the effectiveness of the fertility treatment plan.

Authors: Wang Zhi-Bin , Li Kai , Wang Meng , Wu Gao-Song , Bi Yu-Jin , Kuang Hai-Xue
Published: May 2024

Objective:

To simultaneously investigate the pharmacokinetics of gentiopicroside, sweroside, and swertiamarin, which are constituents of Gentianella acuta, by developing and validating a simple, sensitive, and fast ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method.

Materials and Methods:

Blood samples were collected from the forward limb veins of six beagle dogs following oral gavage with G. acuta, the whole plant extract (39.90 mg/kg). Plasma samples were processed using liquid–liquid extraction. The analytes and paeoniflorin (internal standard [IS]) were separated using an Acquity® UPLC ethylene bridged hybrid amide column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 μm) with isocratic elution using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid in water (80:20, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Quantification was performed using multiple reaction monitoring of the fragmentation transitions at m/z 401.1→179.0, 403.1→195.0, 419.1→179.0, and 525.2→449.1 for gentiopicroside, sweroside, swertiamarin, and the IS, respectively.

Results:

The linearity of the analytical response was good and the calibration curves were linear over concentration ranges of 1.20–192.0, 0.40–159.0, and 0.20–209.3 ng/mL for gentiopicroside, sweroside, and swertiamarin, respectively. The extraction recovery was in the range of 84.72%–91.34%, 84.58%–93.43%, and 82.75%–91.37% for gentiopicroside, sweroside, and swertiamarin, respectively.

Conclusions:

The method was successfully used to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of gentiopicroside, sweroside, and swertiamarin in beagle dogs.
Pharmacist-Led Deprescribing of Aspirin in Older People in an Outpatient Setting
Authors: Ramos Veronica Hernandez , Hayes Laura , Simmons Kayley , Trudeau Brooke , Boka Adrian
Published: May 2024

Background In 2019, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association updated their joint guidelines stating low-dose aspirin should not be used on a routine basis for primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) among people older
than 70 years of age because of increased bleeding risk.1 In addition to these updated guidelines, a statement released by the US Preventive Services Task Force in April 2022 recommends against the initiation of low-dose aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in
people 60 years of age or older.2 Despite these updated recommendations, aspirin continues to be a common medication older patients take, providing an opportunity for a clinical pharmacist deprescribing intervention. Objective To identify the role of a pharmacist-led
aspirin deprescribing intervention within a safety-net health system in the outpatient setting. Methods This project included patients 70 years of age and older who had aspirin listed as an active medication without documented ASCVD. This project assessed aspirin deprescribing
rates, time spent on pharmacist outreach, and reasons for patient and/or provider refusal to discontinue aspirin. Results One hundred thirty-one eligible patients were contacted. Of those, 78 (60%) patients discontinued aspirin after speaking with the pharmacist, and 8
patients discontinued aspirin after a clinical pharmacist recommendation to the patient’s primary care provider (PCP). The median time spent on outreach was approximately eight minutes. Of the 6 patients who consented to the project but declined to discontinue aspirin therapy based on
pharmacist intervention, 5 preferred to discuss the issue with their PCP, while 1 patient was told by an outside provider to take aspirin. Conclusion Results indicate the successful impact a clinical pharmacist may have in deprescribing aspirin in a high-risk population.
These data may also suggest that an active and intentional approach to deprescribing is likely to be more effective than a written recommendation to providers.
Good labeling property of simple nested fractals
Authors: Nieradko Mikoł aj , Olszewski Mariusz
Published: May 2024

We show various criteria to verify if a given nested fractal has a good labeling property, inter alia we present a characterization of GLP for fractals with an odd number of essential fixed points. We show a convenient reduction of the area to be investigated in the verification of GLP and give examples that further reduction is impossible. We prove that if the number of essential fixed points is a power of two, then a fractal must have GLP and that there are no values other than primes or powers of two guaranteeing GLP. For all other numbers of essential fixed points, we are able to construct examples having and others not having GLP.

Published: May 2024

В работе изучается последовательность ($n=1,2,…$) целочисленных цепей Маркова $\{\omega_{n,t}\}_{t\geqslant 1} $ с дискретным временем, описывающих процесс просачивания (перколяции) в полосе ширины $n$ многослойной случайной среды, в которой уже существует просачивание (пробой), а случайная величина $\omega_{n,t}$ равна ширине кластера перколяции в момент времени $t$. Для каждого значения $n$ при заданном случайном механизме просачивания цепь Маркова $\{\omega_{n,t}\}_{t\geqslant 1}$ имеет предельное стационарное распределение, задаваемое случайной величиной $\omega_n$. В случае, когда ширина $n$ рассматриваемой среды стремится к бесконечности, найдено предельное распределение случайной величины $\omega_{n}\sqrt{b/n}$ ($b$ - некоторая константа), являющееся распределением Рэлея.

Authors: Tani Takuaki , Kazuya Watanabe , onuma Ryo , Fushimi Kiyohide , Imai Shinobu
Published: May 2024

Background: This study aimed to reveal differences in the effectiveness of rehabilitation in improving activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with acute stroke across age groups and propose age-appropriate rehabilitation strategies. Methods: This observational study analyzed nationwide administrative data of inpatients admitted to hospitals with acute stroke between April 1, 2018, and March 31, 2020. The data included the average length of daily rehabilitation sessions, weekly frequency of rehabilitation sessions, and initiation of rehabilitation within 3 days. The primary outcome was the improvement in the Barthel Index (BI) score from admission to discharge. We classified the patients based on age and analyzed improvements in ADL according to rehabilitation characteristics. Results: An increased daily rehabilitation dose was associated with improved ADL, except in patients aged <65 years (risk ratio [95% confidence interval] in the 65–74, 75–85, and ≥85 years age groups: 1.20 [1.14‒1.27], 1.21 [1.15‒1.27], and 1.43 [1.34‒1.53], respectively; all p<0.001 vs. <65 years: 1.05 [0.98‒1.12]; p=0.18). A rehabilitation frequency of seven sessions per week was associated with improved ADL in the 75–85 years and ≥85 years age groups (1.06 [1.02‒1.10] and 1.08 [1.03‒1.13], respectively; both p<0.001). The effects of initiating rehabilitation within 3 days on ADL post-admission did not differ across age groups. Conclusion: Increasing the daily dose of rehabilitation was significantly associated with improved ADL in all age groups while increasing the frequency of rehabilitation per week improved ADL in older and very old patients.

A sportoktatás legfontosabb feladatai többek között a pszichomotoros képességek fejlesztése, a szociális, kognitív és affektív képességek fejlesztése, és a belső motiváció kialakítása. Ez egy interaktív folyamat, amely során szükséges, hogy a megfelelő oktatási stratégiákat, módszereket válassza ki az oktató. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy az Eszterházy Károly Katolikus Egyetem általános testnevelésben részt vevő hallgatóinak tartott testnevelésórák oktatói módszereit tanulmányozza. Az óra keretein belül különösen nagy kihívást jelent az egyetemisták motiváltságának megtartása. Megállapítható, hogy minden testnevelést tartó kolléga élményszerzésre törekedve ismertette meg sportágának sajátosságait. Az esetek többségében az extrinzik motiváció szükséges volt, viszont sikerült fenntartani az érdeklődést, és az intrinzik motiváció erőteljes lett.

Gündelik yaşamın çeşitli alanlarında birtakım ihtiyaçları gidermek amacıyla yaygın biçimde kullanı-lan dijital teknolojiler hemen her yaş grubu için farklı ve önemli işlevlere sahiptir. Bu çalışmada yaşlı bireylerin dijital teknolojileri kullanım durumları, hangi dijital teknolojileri ne amaçla sıklıkla kullandıkları üzerinden açıklanırken; bu teknolojileri kullanımları sürecinde deneyimledikleri şiddet eylemlerine açıklık getirilmeye çalışılmaktadır. Bu amaç çerçevesinde sistematik biçimde literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’nun (TÜİK) da son yıllarda düzenli ola-rak yayımladığı Hanehalkı Bilişim Teknolojileri Kullanım Araştırması verilerinden de yararlanıla-rak mukayese yapabilmek amacıyla özellikle 2011 yılı ve sonrasındaki çalışmalardan yaşlıların dijital teknolojileri kullanımlarını ve dijital şiddet deneyimlerini konu alan araştırmalar incelenmiş-tir. Yaşlıların dijital teknolojileri, özellikle de interneti kullanımlarına dair araştırmaların son yıl-larda artmış olduğu görülmektedir. Bunlara göre yaşlıların dijital teknolojileri kullanımları her geçen yıl artmaktadır. Özellikle TÜİK’in ilgili istatistiklerinde de bu durum gözlemlenebilmektedir. Yaşlıların dijital teknolojileri kullanım amaçları genellikle aile üyeleri, arkadaşlar veya akrabalar ile iletişim kurma, sosyalleşme, bilgi edinme, resmi işlemleri (hastane randevusu alma, fatura ödeme vs.) yapma gibi ihtiyaçları gidermeyi karşılamaktadır. Bu amaçları gerçekleştirirken de son yıllarda akıllı cep telefonları, bilgisayarlar gibi internet kullanımlarına da olanak sağlayan araçları tercih etmektedirler. Bu bulgulara ek olarak, ilgili araştırmalarda, yaşlı bireylerin dijital teknolojileri kullanım yoğunluklarının artmasıyla dijital ortamda istenmeyen bazı eylemleri de deneyimledikleri açıklanmaktadır. Bu olumsuz deneyimler çalışmada ‘gri dijital şiddet’ olarak betimlenmiştir. Dijital teknolojileri kötü niyetle kullananlar tarafından, yaşlılar zaman zaman kandırma, dolandırıcılık, hakaret, aşağılama gibi eylemlere maruz bırakılmaktadır. Benzer bulguları açıklayan araştırmalar göstermektedir ki günümüzün önemli sorunlarından biri olarak nitelendirilen dijital şiddet, yalnız-ca gençlerin değil yaşlıların da dijital güvenliğini tehdit etmektedir.
Queering Neverland
Authors: Murphey Fiona Rose
Published: May 2024

During the spring 2023 semester, I assistant directed a double-cast, queer production of Kimberly Belflower’s Lost Girl at American University. In the process, I developed a “dramaturgy of care”—an approach to integrating dramaturgical principles into a variety of theatrical disciplines. Using this approach, theatre makers of all stripes should make the time for deep text analysis, research (on the text and how it’s situated culturally, historically, and politically), discussions, and purposeful cross-role collaboration—from the prep and pre-rehearsal phase through a show’s opening. By putting this method into practice with Lost Girl, our creative team fostered a more thoughtful, caring process, as could anyone who keeps these principles in mind.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
PT Pertamina Refinery Unit VI Balongan has made a significant contribution in providing good income for PT Pertamina and the state. A large number of petroleum processing products produced daily cause a high risk of fire. Fires and explosions at oil refineries are still common even though major oil companies have occupational safety and health systems in place. Monitoring errors and the absence of re-evaluation of established companies for a long time are the reasons why this can happen. This research uses a descriptive approach through literature studies to collect data and obtain the necessary information by studying various journals, conference proceedings, books, and written references. The results of the research were obtained by PT Pertamina Refinery Unit VI Balongan, which applies several rules regarding work safety from ISO 45001: 2018 based on technical and non-technical aspects. In the technical aspect, the rules include the installation of warning signs and signs, noise, temperature, lighting intensity and personal safety equipment. Meanwhile, the regulations include administration and licensing as Safe Work Permits in non-technical aspects. However, based on several parameters of the application of ISO 45001: 2018, aspects that do not meet the standards are found and can be a problem, resulting in the potential for fire. This study concluded that PT Pertamina Refinery Unit VI Balongan must be able to provide firmness in implementing work safety rules or procedures for its employees.

Published: May 2024

Governança tornou-se aspecto vital para organizações esportivas. Estudos têm analisado a adoção de práticas de boa governança por instituições de gestão do esporte, bem como impacto que esta proporciona na performance relacionada à gestão das entidades. Entretanto, não se sabe qual a percepção da boa governança, na perspectiva de seus stakeholders. Dessa forma o objetivo do presente estudo é apresentar evidências de validade de conteúdo de um novo instrumento de medida da percepção da boa governança em instituições esportivas na perspectiva de seus stakeholders. Participaram do estudo quatro juízes, os quais responderam à primeira versão do instrumento. Os itens foram avaliados quanto à Clareza de Linguagem (CL), Pertinência Prática (PP), Relevância Teórica (RT) e Dimensionalidade Teórica (DT). Para as dimensões CL, PP e RT foram calculados os Coeficientes de Validade de Conteúdo (CVC). Já, para DT foram utilizados os cálculos de coeficiente Kappa, a fim de se avaliar a concordância entre as respostas dos juízes. As dimensões CL, PP e RT apresentaram CVC considerados “satisfatórios” para o instrumento completo. Com relação aos resultados referentes à DT, a dimensão que apresentou maior consenso nas respostas foi Processo Democrático, com concordância “quase perfeita”. A primeira versão do instrumento, de uma forma geral, possui uma linguagem clara, pertinência prática e relevância teórica. Ainda, as dimensões teóricas condizem minimamente com o teorizado. Dada a importância que os stakeholders apresentam para as organizações esportivas é necessário compreender de que maneira as ações dos gestores destas entidades são percebidas pelos seus atores. A satisfação das necessidades dos stakeholders é imprescindível para o estabelecimento de uma relação duradoura e profícua tanto para a instituição, quanto para o agente envolvido.

Introduction: Stroke is a major contributor to mortality rates in numerous nations, resulting in enduring challenges for individuals who have survived the condition in doing routine tasks.  The chair-stand exercise was implemented as a distinct intervention, clearly differentiated from a convalescent rehabilitation program.  The objective of this study is to gather empirical data on the movement of stroke patients in wheelchairs used by healthcare professionals, given the current lack of clarity in clinical practices.  Method: Studies were obtained from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, EBSCO, Web of Science, and CNKI. Only randomized controlled trials were left to evaluate exercises suitable for wheelchair-using stroke patients, and with no restrictions on data or study language. Result: Specifically, six studies utilized interventions such as Trunk Stability, Sit And Stand Independently, Sitting Posture and Trunk Control, Monkey Chair And Band System, Beach Chair Position, and Chair-Stand Exercise. Conclusion: The study's positive outcomes illustrate that engaging in wheelchair exercise can have a beneficial effect and improve the capacities of individuals who have experienced a stroke.   Wheelchair users employ many strategies to improve their functioning abilities.

In Indonesia, studies on the theme of sports psychology, especially mental toughness, are experiencing an increasing trend. However, there are problems with the measuring instruments used. Therefore, this research aims to adapt and test the psychometric properties of the PPI-A in the Indonesian context. There were 331 young athletes (M = 218, F = 113) with a mean age of 17.9 years and a standard deviation of 2.09. Apart from the psychological performance inventory-alternative (PPI-A), the mental toughness index (MTI) was also used to collect data in this study. The data obtained were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test the three models (single-factor model, four-factor model, and second-order model) proposed. The research results show that the second-order model is the best compared to the unidimensional model and four-factor model, as evidenced by the chi-square value = 47.934; df = 32; p = .002; CFI = .961; GFI = .969; TLI = .938; SRMR = .038; RMSEA = .057. Of the fourteen items in the PPI-A, nine items had very good loading factor (λ = .563 to .759; p < 0.001). The internal consistency reliability of the PPI-Aid is moderate (α = .74 to .77) while the reliability with convergent validity is in the small to moderate category (r = .16 to .35; p ≤ .01). Even though the reliability value is not high, it can be stated that PPI-Aid is a valid and reliable measuring tool in measuring aspects of mental toughness.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el nivel de actividad física, el perfil del estado de ánimo, el control neuromuscular y la manifestación de la fuerza en atletas adolescentes no profesionales. Una muestra de 24 voluntarios sanos participó en el estudio. Cada sujeto cumplimentó el Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física (IPAQ) y el cuestionario Perfil de Estados de Ánimo (POMS). Posteriormente, se realizó una evaluación utilizando un protocolo de carga incremental para determinar el máximo de una repetición en el ejercicio de press de banca. Después de cada serie, se evaluó la fuerza en función de la carga total, la velocidad de propulsión media y la percepción subjetiva del esfuerzo. Además, se aplicó la prueba de golpeteo con los dedos (FTT) como medida de control motor, y se realizó una segunda evaluación de la fuerza utilizando un dinamómetro manual. Los resultados mostraron una diferencia significativa en las fases de golpeteo del FTT al principio y al final del protocolo. Se encontraron datos significativos en el conjunto máximo respecto a la relación entre la carga total, la velocidad media de propulsión y la fuerza de prensión de la mano. Estos resultados apoyan el uso del FTT y del dinamómetro manual como medidas para controlar las fases del entrenamiento de fuerza en términos de carga aplicada y tiempo de recuperación.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the level of physical activity, mood profile, neuromuscular control, and strength manifestation in non-professional adolescent athletes. A sample of 24 healthy volunteers participated in the study. Each subject completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Subsequently, an evaluation was conducted using an incremental load protocol to determine the one-repetition maximum in the bench press exercise. After each set, strength was assessed based on total load, mean propulsive velocity, and subjective perception of effort. In addition, the Finger Tapping Test (FTT) was implemented as a measure of motor control, and a second strength assessment was performed using a manual dynamometer. The results showed a significant difference in the tapping phases of the FTT at the beginning and end of the protocol. Significant data were found in the maximum set regarding the relationship between total load, mean propulsive velocity, and handgrip strength. These results support the use of the FTT and manual dynamometer as measures to control the phases of strength training in terms of applied load and recovery time.

En el ámbito académico internacional, la difusión de los valores y el legado de Pierre de Coubertin representa un campo de interés notable, aunque se observa una carencia de proyectos destinados a su promulgación en lenguas indígenas. Esta investigación se enfocó en el desarrollo de un programa educativo para inculcar los valores coubertinianos en comunidades mayas, utilizando un enfoque interdisciplinario que abarca actividades lúdicas, artísticas, culturales y deportivas, fundamentado en la traducción y adaptación cultural del libro "El Verdadero Pierre de Coubertin" al idioma maya k´iche´. Mediante una metodología cualitativa fenomenológica, se involucró a 250 estudiantes de una escuela monolingüe en Totonicapán, Guatemala. Los datos recolectados a través de grupos focales revelaron que la enseñanza de los valores coubertinianos, contextualizada a la realidad cultural de los participantes, promueve un sentido profundo de inclusión, identidad y pertenencia. Los valores de amistad, respeto, juego limpio y universalidad emergieron como fundamentales para el desarrollo personal, la paz y la coexistencia armónica. Este estudio subraya la relevancia de adaptar los principios educativos de Coubertin a contextos culturales específicos, destacando su potencial para inspirar transformación social y fortalecimiento de la identidad cultural en comunidades indígenas.

Abstract. In the international academic sphere, the dissemination of Pierre de Coubertin's values and legacy represents a significant field of interest, though there is a noticeable lack of projects aimed at promulgating them in indigenous languages. This research focused on developing an educational program to instill Coubertinian values in Maya communities, utilizing an interdisciplinary approach that includes playful, artistic, cultural, and sporting activities, based on the translation and cultural adaptation of the book "The True Pierre de Coubertin" into the K'iche' Maya language. Through a phenomenological qualitative methodology, 250 students from a monolingual school in Totonicapán, Guatemala, were involved. Data collected via focus groups revealed that teaching Coubertinian values, contextualized to the cultural reality of the participants, promotes a deep sense of inclusion, identity, and belonging. The values of friendship, respect, fair play, and universality emerged as fundamental for personal development, peace, and harmonious coexistence. This study highlights the importance of adapting Coubertin's educational principles to specific cultural contexts, emphasizing their potential to inspire social transformation and strengthen cultural identity in indigenous communities.

Athletes’ (Anti) Doping Knowledge: A Systematic Review
Authors: Listiani Dina , Umar Fadilah , Riyadi Slamet
Published: May 2024

This systematic review critically examines the scope of athletes’ knowledge on anti-doping regulations, focusing on literature from 2018 to 2022. Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we scrutinized electronic databases including Scopus, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar, yielding 4,009 articles, with 17 meeting our criteria for in-depth analysis. Our findings reveal a significant disparity in anti-doping awareness across different sports disciplines and regions. Notably, the review highlights that while some athletes demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of anti-doping rules, a considerable portion remains unaware of crucial aspects, potentially leading to inadvertent doping violations. The synthesis of the selected studies indicates that current educational programs on anti-doping are insufficiently tailored to address the diverse needs of athletes worldwide. Consequently, we advocate for the development of targeted educational interventions that align with the varying levels of existing knowledge among athletes. By enhancing the specificity and reach of anti-doping education, we aim to empower athletes to uphold the integrity of sports and adhere to the World Anti-Doping Code, thereby mitigating the risks of both intentional and unintentional doping.

Concentration is needed for students at the stage of physical and psychological growth and development to support successful learning achievement. This research was quantitative research. The research design employed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-post-test design. The research sample was 14 students taken using a purposive sampling method. The concentration data collection technique used a GTC test before and after intervension. The data analysis techniques used were paired sample t-test and n-gain score. The results of the descriptive statistical test show a pretest score of 51.79 and post-test 63.00, meaning there is no increase in the average descriptive score. The results of the paired sample t-test show a significance value of 0.067 > 0.05, meaning there is no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. The effectiveness test results on applying PE archery material obtain an average value of 0.23, included in the low effectiveness category. The conclusion is that the implementation of descriptive archery material PE class management is able to increase elementary school students' concentration, but there is no significant increase. The implementation of PE material on archery with more specific movement activities will encourage training to focus the mind and eyesight. The research results also provide findings that archery can also be used as a means of PE and physical fitness and as a health therapy to focus the eye's gaze in paying attention to an object to increase concentration power in learning various important things.

El presente trabajo de investigación se basó en el impacto que las tecnologías emergentes tienen en la educación y el impacto de los estudiantes, con el propósito de que las personas puedan tener un mayor conocimiento de cómo la tecnología ha avanzado en los últimos años. Una de las principales causas porque la educación de los estudiantes ha avanzado es porque todas las instituciones ya han adoptado estas nuevas tendencias para educar. Con el cambio frecuente de tendencias tecnológicas, los estudiantes se unen a estas enseñanzas, pero lo que cambia es la manera de mostrarles a los estudiantes con las diferentes herramientas tecnológicas que existen hoy para que los estudiantes muestren más interés en aprender sobre este tema, pero la forma de educar siempre debe ser lo mismo de una manera responsable y respetuosa. Se utilizaron métodos de investigación científica, predominando el método de inducción - deducción y análisis - síntesis, que contribuyó al desarrollo de la capacidad de resolver los problemas uniendo las nuevas tendencias tecnológicas que tienen un gran impacto en la sociedad.

El trabajo de las mujeres a nivel internacional aún es tema de estudios, las mujeres han sido actores olvidadas, utilizadas en cada época, por cada sector social y en algunos casos usadas por el interno y externo, de esto la Cooperación Internacional se hace eco ya que utilizan los rostros y realidades de las mujeres, definidos como tal proceso de investigación, en varios niveles, en este sentido el articulo presenta un análisis bibliográfico sobre las Condiciones de la inserción de la mujer en el ámbito laboral en las zonas rurales de la provincia de Manabí, específicamente en el sector de San Vicente de Calderón, caracterizado por ser culturalmente machista y donde la mujer ha sido invisibilizada y busca una reintegración de sus derechos de realización, estima y desarrollo, importantes componentes para el mejoramiento de su calidad de vida y por ende de su bienestar social. Para su realización se trabajó con una metodología descriptiva y analítica, con la aplicación de métodos; bibliográficos, inductivos, analísticos y descriptivos, lo que permitió llegar a las conclusiones que después de décadas el grito en silencio de las mujeres aún no se la escucha en tanto es un problema estructural, la colaboración se concibe como asistencia, como socorro, no en función de la transformación de las condicionantes de la equidad e igualdad de género, perpetuándose y reproduciéndose la enajenación del poder hegemónico del capital. En consecuencia, existen los argumentos que contribuyen a fundamentar la ineficacia de tales proyectos de cooperación en función de procesos emancipatorios y de superación crítica de las asimetrías de género, convirtiéndose en muchos casos en una trampa que contribuye a perpetuar el machismo y el patriarcado.
