Síndrome nefrótico en Pediatría: a propósito de dos casos
Authors: Villacís Doménica
Published: July 2024

El síndrome nefrótico pediátrico es una entidad común en niños y se caracteriza por proteinuria, hipoalbuminemia y edemas. La enfermedad de cambios mínimos (ECM) es la forma histológica más frecuente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar dos casos de niños con síntomas clásicos de síndrome nefrótico, manejados con tratamiento esteroideo y seguimiento por Nefrología Pediátrica. La mayoría de los pacientes responden bien al tratamiento, pero algunos pueden presentar recaídas o ser corticorresistentes, lo que puede llevar a un fallo renal. El síndrome nefrótico es la glomerulopatía primaria más frecuente en pediatría y requiere un diagnóstico y manejo adecuados para evitar complicaciones a corto y largo plazo. A pesar de corresponderse a una enfermedad relativamente frecuente en Pediatría, su diagnóstico suele demorarse, requiriéndose la intervención de diferentes facultativos hasta finalmente llegar al diagnóstico y tratamiento correspondiente, de allí la importancia de la revisión y presentación de los casos clínicos.
Impacto de la medicina hipocrática en el desarrollo de la observación y prevención de enfermedades en la práctica médica actual
Authors: Cedeño Doménica , Chimbo Ámbar , Zambrano Pierina
Published: July 2024

La práctica curativa que engendró la medicina hipocrática ha sido vinculada al ser humano desde siempre. Asistir al afligido constituye esencialmente una acción médica, el fundamento mismo de la medicina. Los principios básicos de Hipócrates como la relación médico-paciente y la prevención de enfermedades, han sido pilares fundamentales para la formación de los médicos. En la actualidad, se observa una tendencia hacia la especialización extrema, lo que limita la atención integral y comprensión profunda de la condición del paciente. La influencia de la medicina hipocrática en la práctica médica moderna se ha ido deteriorando, permitiendo que se abandonen ciertas actitudes que los primeros médicos utilizaban con destreza, lo que ha permitido desarrollar una visión mecanicista y materialista incompatible con la tradición hipocrática, dejando de ser holística y olvidando que no existen enfermedades, sino enfermos. Por lo tanto, se analiza la importancia de la medicina hipocrática en la observación y prevención de enfermedades y su relación con la medicina actual.

A obesidade mórbida é um problema crescente globalmente, exigindo soluções eficazes. Este estudo investiga as vantagens e desvantagens da cirurgia bariátrica no tratamento de comorbidades como diabetes tipo 2, hipertensão, doenças cardiovasculares e apneia do sono. Utilizando uma revisão abrangente da literatura, incluindo artigos científicos, conferências, relatórios técnicos e estudos de caso, o estudo empregou técnicas de análise temática e de conteúdo para identificar padrões e temas emergentes. Os resultados mostram que técnicas como o bypass gástrico em Y de Roux e a gastrectomia vertical são eficazes na perda de peso e no controle das comorbidades associadas. No entanto, também foram observadas complicações pós-operatórias, como infecções e vazamentos anastomóticos, apesar de menos frequentes com técnicas modernas. A discussão enfatiza a importância da seleção criteriosa dos pacientes e da avaliação multidisciplinar para otimizar resultados e minimizar riscos. Avanços tecnológicos, como a cirurgia robótica, têm potencial para melhorar os desfechos. A conclusão destaca que a cirurgia bariátrica é uma abordagem eficaz e abrangente para tratar a obesidade mórbida, melhorando a qualidade de vida dos pacientes, reduzindo comorbidades e contribuindo para a sustentabilidade dos sistemas de saúde. No entanto, há necessidade de estudos de longo prazo e ensaios clínicos randomizados para avaliar os efeitos duradouros das diferentes técnicas cirúrgicas. O estudo reafirma a importância de um manejo cuidadoso e contínuo para maximizar benefícios e minimizar riscos associados ao tratamento da obesidade mórbida.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study was to investigate the employability of people with visual impairment (PVI) in the Manzini region of Eswatini. The study was located within the interpretivist paradigm. It was qualitative in approach and took a phenomenological research design. Twelve participants were selected using convenience and snowball sampling techniques. Individual indepth interviews and a focus group discussion were used to collect data that was thematically analysed. The results of the study indicates that PVI have low academic qualifications due to unconducive learning conditions that they face in school and lack of properly-equipped vocational training centres that can train visually impaired people. It was also revealed that their employability is further affected by negative attitude by possible employers, poor independent living and mobility skills. Consequently, PVI resort to begging on the streets to earn a living. The study concludes that establishing properly equipped schools, with postschool training facilities for PVI and hiring well trained personnel to teach them, would be mediatory strategies that could better the situation. Thus the study recommends that a special curriculum to cater for the PVI’s unique needs be designed and be coupled with a disability scholarship fund to cater for their tuition and boarding fees so that they would access quality education and training which will increase their chances of employability in the labour market.

Efforts to Build Employee Work Attachment Through Affective Commitment and Work Discipline
Authors: Noermijati  , Firdaus Ema Zahra , Sulastri
Published: July 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of mediation of affective commitment, and work discipline on the effect of job stress on employee work attachment. This research was conducted at the Sugar Factory X in East Java, involving 158 employees. Data were collected using a questionnaire and the results were analyzed using PLS software. The results of this study indicate that job stress does not have a significant effect on work attachment, but affective commitment and work discipline as full mediation on the effect of job stress on work attachment. In testing direct effects on other variables show that, job stress directly influences work discipline and affective commitment, while work discipline and affective commitment directly affect work attachment. This study places affective commitment, and work discipline as a variable for the pillar on the effect of job stress on employee work attachment. The important findings of this study are affective commitment and work discipline act as full mediation variables. That job stress is unable to play a role in efforts to improve employee work attachment unless there is a role in mediation from affective commitment variables and work discipline. The results strengthen the social exchange theory.

Review of Management Accounting in a Digital Economy
Authors: Aldabbous Nagham , Riyath Mohamed Ismail Mohamed
Published: July 2024

The paper gives an overview of the transformation in management accounting practices in a digital economy. Advanced technologies such as big data analytics, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain digitised traditional accounting ways by providing real-time data processing, enhanced decision-making, and strategic insights. The review focuses on how technological innovations have changed data collection, analysis, and reporting links, moving attention away from record-keeping to predictive and prescriptive analytics. Discussions are the automation of routine tasks, real-time financial reporting developments, and increased involvement of management accountants in strategic planning and risk management. The review talks about cloud accounting systems, machine learning in managing costs, blockchain for financial transparency and security, and how digital transformation opens up some critical challenges related to data privacy concerns, security risks, and massive upskilling on the part of accounting professionals. The paper addresses these issues by examining strategies to mitigate identified risks and bridging skill gaps through specific training and educational efforts. It further reviews the emerging trends in predictive and prescriptive analytics and discusses their potential applications in Management Accounting. The review sheds light on changing regulatory scenarios that will impact digital practices in accounting. The implications of this digital transformation are huge and thus require a rethink in the role of management accounting within organisations. It calls for management accountants to reposition themselves in the field and stay relevant by embracing new technologies while attaining strategic competencies, enabling them to drive value creation against the drastic changes in the digital age.
Aprendizaje en un Contexto Global. COIL/GSC como Práctica de Innovación Educativa. Caso de Estudio: Estudiantado de Pregrado
Authors: Urcid Puga Rodrigo
Published: July 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar la relevancia de la técnica pedagógica COIL/Global Shared Classroom -GSC-, como valor agregado en materia de innovación educativa entre estudiantes de pregrado. La idea es demostrar que el alumnado no solo puede adquirir competencias transdisciplinares como la comunicación, trabajo en equipo o liderazgo; sino que, a partir de la coordinación entre quienes ejecutan esta dinámica, se puede llevar a cabo este estilo de enseñanza. El enfoque metodológico es cualitativo; particularmente, se realizan grupos focales durante los semestres de primavera y otoño del 2023. Entre los principales resultados se encuentra que el estudiantado no solo aprende a socializar y comprender otros contextos culturales, en este caso, los de México, Chile y Colombia, sino que robustece aspectos comunicativos y de entendimiento; además, se percatan que la distancia geográfica no es una barrera para fortalecer el conocimiento; por el contrario, este es posible gracias al E-learning. En cuanto a los hallazgos, se encuentra que la educación a distancia aún tiene mucho por explorar y que el claustro docente, debe aprovechar los recursos que la tecnología ofrece para fortalecer los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje; sin olvidar, claro, que la dinámica empleada tiene un potencial aún por explorar.

The Moscow ensemble of the Main Pharmacy was built in the first decade of the 18th century and turned out to be one of the most remarkable buildings in Russia. The new construction attracted attention due to the location between the Nikolsky Gates of the Kremlin, the Resurrection Gates of Kitay-Gorod and the Berg Office of the Mint. The architecture of the building successfully combined the best traditions of ancient Russian architecture with the techniques of Western European building art and elements of oriental decoration. Polychrome volumetric tiles played special role in the design of the multi-tiered main facade. These ceramic inserts formed the platband frames, order details, friezes, cornices and other elements. According to the state programs of Peter I for the development of the pharmacy business, special attention was paid to the new building, and contemporaries called the erected Pharmacy “one of the best in the world”. The experience of creating the ensemble and the appearance of the building influenced the character of the new parade construction of the public architecture of St. Petersburg. This explains the interest in the study of the building, which was lost in 1874. In order to understand and visualize the changes in the state of the building, its graphic reconstructions of different historical stages were carried out. The presented digital models reflect not only the external solution of the facades, but also the arrangement of the internal layout.

Cooling-slope (CS) casting parameters optimization is very challenging due to the uncertainties of parameter values that are influenced by many factors. Therefore, a combination of estimation and optimization models that can solve multi-objective problems using limited data is proposed to reduce the real casting operational cost and time. In casting optimization, modeling and optimization of CS parameters have been considered to identify optimal CS parameters that would lead to better feedstock performance. Computational techniques have been suggested by previous researchers to solve the optimization in the manufacturing process. The study assessed the CS process to determine the feedstock's quality by evaluating its mechanical qualities, namely Tensile strength and Impact strength. Hence, computational methods namely the MOJaya algorithm are utilized to model and optimize the parameters of CS to address the CS problem and forecast the performance of the feedstock. This work conducted a thorough analysis of the impact of CS process parameters on the tensile strength and impact strength using an experimental design. The experiment was conducted using a three-level full factorial design (FFD) of the experiment (DOE), for the parameters of pouring temperature, slanting angle, and pouring distance. The modeling technique involved the development of multiple polynomial regression (MPR) as an objective function in the MOJaya Algorithm. The outcome of the optimization procedure revealed that the optimal solutions obtained from MOJaya were projected to surpass both the initial experimental data and the MOJaya algorithm in terms of the highest values of tensile strength and impact strength. The difference between the two sets of values is 10.92% and 15.76%, respectively.  Subsequently, this technique may be employed by a caster to forecast the performance of the feedstock without using repeated experiments that are costly and time-consuming.

Image encryption plays a crucial role in securing sensitive visual information during transmission and storage. Throughout the encryption and decryption phases of images, the utilized ciphers exhibit substandard quality, resulting in the persistence of the original image. Consequently, the issues at hand stem from a deficiency in the quality of cipher image, thereby compromising the confidentiality level to an unsafe extent. This research explores the application of chaotic maps, specifically the Arnold Cat Map and Henon Map for the encryption and decryption of digital colour images. The encryption process involves applying the Arnold Cat Map and Henon Map to permute and diffuse pixel values, enhancing the confusion and diffusion properties essential for robust encryption. The study provides insights into the decryption efficiency and the ability to recover the original image from the ciphered version. This research contributes to the body of knowledge in colour image encryption techniques and offers a novel approach leveraging chaotic maps. The findings emphasize the importance of selecting suitable chaotic maps and their parameters to achieve a balance between security and image quality.
The Perception of Malaysian Undergraduates towards Bilingualism and Multilingualism in Language Learning
Authors: Abdul Malek Nabila
Published: July 2024

Language is essential to human communication and identity. Individuals may have different language abilities in one or more languages. Bilingualism refers to the ability to use two languages proficiently, whereas multilingualism is characterised by the ability to use more than two languages. Cultural background, societal views, and personal experiences can significantly impact perceptions. Bilingualism and multilingualism may be viewed positively by some students while negatively by others. In today's globalised society, language diversity is growing, yet there is little research on students' perceptions of bilingualism and multilingualism in higher education in the Malaysian context. The study seeks to identify Malaysian undergraduates' perceptions towards bilingualism and multilingualism in language learning. Conducted among 51 undergraduate students at an engineering university in Malaysia, this quantitative study employed a survey-based approach. The result revealed positive perceptions of bilingualism and multilingualism in language learning influenced by the bilingual education system in Malaysia and globalisation. The present research has proved that students favour bilingualism and multilingualism, enhancing their motivation to acquire additional languages. This inclination stems from the belief that having proficiency in more than two languages confers a more excellent knowledge upon individuals.

Soil water vapor movement carries mass of water and its bulk quantity in motion carries a specific amount of energy. The moment when water molecules obtain enough energy to release themselves from liquid surface, it involves phase transition from liquid to gas phase. The energy required for its release or freedom must be sourced from some energy source in the soil. The energy can come from the soil, water, or gas phase in the immediate surrounding. As such, the water phase transition into gas phase absorbs energy and causes temperature variation. Since vapor carries a significant amount of energy, its evaporation can cause a significant amount of temperature in the soil. Hence, studying vapor movement in soil and the factors affecting vapor movement is an important subject of concern. The current study is looking into factors that affect soil water vapor movement in the soil. The equation from Philip and de Vries was examined in the current study. We found that soil water vapor movement was not limited to factors affecting vapor phase, the vapor phase was in continuous interaction with other factors that affecting liquid water movement and heat flux in the soil.
