Coronary Stent Fracture Causing Myocardial Infarction: Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Gröger Matthias , Rottbauer Wolfgang , Keßler Mirjam
Published: November 2022

Coronary stent fracture (SF) is a potential cause of stent failure increasing the risk for in-stent restenosis, stent thrombosis, target lesion revascularization and major adverse cardiac events. Overall incidence of SF ranges from <1.0% up to 18.6% and SF can be found in up to 60% of failed devices. Advanced imaging techniques have improved the detection of SF. However, defining the optimal therapeutic approach towards these complex lesions is challenging. This review summarizes the most important publications on the topic of SF and discusses current insights into pathophysiology, diagnostic tools, classification and therapeutic management. Furthermore, two illustrative cases of SF leading to myocardial infarction are presented, which demonstrate typical SF risk factors such as vessel angulation and hinge motion, stenting in the right coronary artery, use of long stents and multiple stent layers.

PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGICAL REACTION TO MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT AS AN INHIBITOR OF PERFORMING COMPLEX TASKS
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kurapov Anton , Balashevych Oleksandra ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv
Published: November 2022

The research presents a model for using the GSR and PPG polygraph sensors for empirical research of psychophysiological response features to musical accompaniment as an inhibitor of the performance of complex tasks. According to the findings of the experiment that was carried out, when people are asked to solve difficult problems while listening to their preferred musical compositions, they tend to perform significantly better. While this is occurring, the area of the galvanic-skin reaction readings and the amplitude of the photoplethysmogram are significantly reduced as a consequence of the presence of musical accompaniment. The amplitude of the PPG was found to have a strong negative correlation with the performance in complex tasks, as was revealed by the findings. An extraordinary relation between the presence of musical education and the magnitude of the aforementioned effect was discovered: people with such education tend to experience a lower impact of music on their performance. This finding was made possible by the discovery of an extraordinary relation between the presence of musical education and the magnitude of the aforementioned effect. The research that was presented provided support for the general tendencies that are outlined in the global scientific literature. The acquired results will benefit in understanding the impact of listening to music while performing complex tasks on psychophysiological indicators, as well as the impact of listening to music on the quality of complex tasks. In addition, the authors believe that the results will aid in understanding the impact of listening to music on the quality of complex tasks.
SYSTEM PRINCIPLES AND MECHANISMS OF REFLECTION
Authors:   National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Latyshev Oleksandr
Published: November 2022

The article examines the principles and mechanisms of system components of the processes of reflection, which provide the subject with access to his inner world, to his thoughts. The processes of reflection are implemented in a circuit that contains the subject's inner world covered by feedback. The reflection circuit is closed through the sensory (associative) zones of the cerebral cortex. This eliminates the problem of the subject's perception of images of representations – that is, the results of his mental activity in the forms and modalities of perception of the external world – without the participation of the receptors of sensory systems. It is shown that the images of consciousness are independent objects of the inner world, and that this property of independence plays a fundamental role in the formation of subject-object relations in the processes of reflection and conscious thinking in general. A necessary component of the reflection circuit is a subject who has self-awareness. The subject is represented by a psychosomatic image of "I" in the context of his inner world, which provides access to the results of reflection from the first person. The principle of subject-object relations, the mechanism of which is common to all types of conscious thinking, is formulated and substantiated. This makes it possible to explain the fundamental concepts of philosophical and psychological theories related to the subject's appeal to his inner world, to his thoughts. Within the framework of this principle, we solve the well-known problem of uniting the cognizing subject (cognizer) and the cognized subject in one person – thus, in particular, the problems of self-knowledge and self-reflection. The mechanisms and properties of reflection, which ensure self-dialogic thinking, make it possible to realize the main requirement for the process of reflection – thinking about thinking.

Lebih detailnya pencemaran nama terhadap Nabi Muhammad sebagai Rasul umat muslim dan Maryam sebagai salah satu tokoh perempuan yang menjadi teladan umat muslimah. Begitu juga dengan banyak nya kasus perjudian yang terjadi. Judi adalah sesuatu yang sudah jelas dilarang oleh agama islam. Selain dilarang oleh agama, judi juga merugikan bagi pihak yang terikat dengan permainan tersebut. Terhadap kasus ini, kita harusnya lebih prihatin dan teliti. Karena sebagai umat muslim kita harus mengetahui betul bagaimana cara mencari harta negara, maupun harta pribadi sesuai dengan syari’at yang ditentukan. Apakah jalan dan cara yang digunakan saat ini tak lepas dari syari’at atau malah memutuskan penerapan syari’at yang menjadi tuntunan hidup kita?Maka disini saya akan menggali lebih dalam tentang, “Pengaruh Penjualan Khamr dan Judi bagi Kekayaan Negara”.
Etika Membelanjakan Harta yang Benar Menurut Perspektif Surat Al-Isra ayat 29
Authors: Ramdani Rizki , Kurniawan Rachmad Risqy
Published: November 2022

Harta merupakan salah satu nikmat dari nikmat – nikmat Allah SWT yang karuniakan kepada kita serta suatu hiasan yang dapat memperindah isi dunia ini. Harta sendiri adalah benda yang dapat dimiliki, diusahakan, dikuasai dan ditukarkan, baik benda itu berwujud maupun tidak berwujud, baik benda yang dapat bergerak maupun benda yang tidak bergerak sama sekali dan hak yang memiliki nilai ekonomis. Permasalahan tentang kedudukan dan pengelolaan terhadap harta sangat perlu dikaji, mengingat banyak manusia yang masih diambang kebingungan untuk menggunakan harta, sehingga muncul sifaf mubadzir, sia-sia akan harta yang digunakan tidak memberikan dampak yang positif. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji bagaimana konsep harta dalam al-Qur’an yang dibingkai dengan ayat 29 : Al- Isra serta hadits nabi Muhammad SAW. Dari hasil penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa pemilik harta yang sebenarnya adalah Allah SWT, manusia memiliki harta, namun sifatnya sekedar titipan, bukan pemilik sebenarnya yang mana harta tidak akan menjadi kebanggan di akhirat kelak, kecuali dengan beberapa hal yang dapat menjadikan harta tersebut menadi suatu kebanggaan di akhirat nanti, sebagai perhiasan badan, ujian keimanan dan sebagai bekal ibadah. Al-Qur’an dan Ḥadts memberikan tuntunan bagaimana cara memperoleh harta yaitu melalui akad transaksi, warisan, syuf’ah, dan hak pemberian kepada seseorang yang diatur dalam agama. Adapun cara mengelola dan membelanjakan harta adalah dengan menentukan prioritas kebutuhan, berdasarkan prinsip halalan ṭayiban, menghindari boros dan mubazir, prinsip kesederhanaan, untuk alokasi sosial, serta untuk alokasi masa depan.

Kemunculan Covid-19 atau virus Corona memiliki fakta telah menyebar di 118 negara dan menginfeksi puluhan juta manusia dan per Oktober 2020 sudah menyebabkan kematian sekitar 1 juta jiwa. WHO pun sudah menyatakan Covid-19 adalah bagian dari pandemi global. Dikatakan pandemi karena tingkat keparahan penyakit, jumlah korban atau infeksi yang terletak pada penyebaran geografisnya yang mengacu penyebarannya pada negara atau benua. Jika, pandemi ini masih terjadi dan berkembang, pastinya akan mengganggu seluruh lini publik, perekonomian negara, dan pangan yang terjangkit pandemi, khususnya Indonesia. Semenjak pandemi, perekonomian Indonesia mengalami pertumbuhan negatif, sektor publik juga mengalami penurunan, ditambah ketersedian pangan di Indonesia tidak stabil, dikarenakan tidak adanya pasokan pangan untuk memenuhi 267 juta penduduk Indonesia. Mengingat Indonesia adalah penghasil bahan pangan, sayuran, buah-buahan, umbi-umbian, terutama beras. Kejadian ini yang menjadi fokus, jika dikemudian hari mengalami bencana yang tidak terduga dan persiapan dalam menghadapi masa krisis apa pun bentuknya, maka Indonesia harus menghadapi tantangan menuju ketahanan pangan. Pada artikel ini disarankan perlu dilakukan penyesuaian arah kebijakan pembangunan ketahanan pangan, khususnya dalam menetapkan tujuan, memilih cara mencapai tujuan dan menentukan sasaran ketahanan pangan nasional Indonesia.
Grey manchas: Understanding codeswitches when grammars conflict
Authors: Vernooij Natasha , Boland Julie
Published: November 2022

Bilinguals often codeswitch between languages mid-sentence. Do incongruent codeswitches, which follow the word order of only one language, occur? If so, how do bilinguals comprehend them, given the clash in grammaticality? First, we demonstrated that incongruent codeswitches occur, based on a corpus analysis of Spanish-English speech. Then, we measured bilinguals’ assessments of congruent codeswitches (Experiment 1) and incongruent codeswitches (Experiment 2) using an offline rating task. This task was sensitive to codeswitching costs and grammaticality. More importantly, the ratings for incongruent codeswitches supported the Current Word hypothesis, which predicts that codeswitches follow the word order of the language of the current word, but not the Matrix Language hypothesis (Myers-Scotton, 2002). These results can be understood within a bilingual comprehension theory in which activation spreads from words in the input to language-independent grammatical structures, leading bilinguals to make language-independent predictions about the syntactic category of upcoming words.
Sampling Relevant Prior Experiences via a Random Walk Through Episodic Memory-Space: The Case for CASES
Authors: Fenneman Achiel , Sanfey Alan , Malamut Sarah
Published: November 2022

Episodic memory forms a key source of information to guide ourchoices in everyday life. However, throughout a lifetime we gather a vast number of different experiences –and most of these are irrelevant for any one decision. How then do we retrieve relevant experiences without relying on a computationally implausible exhaustive search? Based on five key principles underlying the storage and retrieval of episodic memories we propose a framework of Cascading Episodic Sampling (or CASES for short). At the core of this framework is the ability to sample prior experience by performing a random walk through episodic memory-space. Through three naturalistic experiments we provide empirical evidence to support the unique predictions of this random walk. We next illustrate how the CASES framework supports theory integration by providing a parsimonious umbrella for a range of previous methods, findings and models in (memory-based) decision-making and sheds new light on a range of behavioural regularities.
Analysis of LED street light conversions on firearm crimes in Dallas, Texas
Authors: Wheeler Andrew Palmer
Published: November 2022

This report analyses the effects of LED streetlight conversions on nighttime firearm crimes in Dallas, Texas. Using data from 2020 through May of 2022 on reported firearm crimes and LED conversions, using a differences-in-differences strategy (comparing trends in daytime firearm crimes compared to those at night), I find no evidence that LED conversions result in decreased nighttime firearm crimes in this sample.Supplementary analysis estimating whether conversions were more or less effective in different areas of the city also failed to find any evidence of effectiveness. While LED conversions may be beneficial for other reasons, in Dallas there is no strong evidence they also reduce firearm crimes at night.Code and Data to replicate the report findings can be obtained from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l5khtwss97relp8/AACx2TYMYCt7ICTOnKUHHtuWa?dl=0

Normative Challenges of Risk Regulation of Artificial Intelligence and Automated Decision-Making
Authors: Orwat Carsten , Bareis Jascha , Folberth Anja , Jahnel Jutta , Wadephul Christian
Published: November 2022

Recent proposals aiming at regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making (ADM) suggest a particular form of risk regulation, i.e. a risk-based approach. The most salient example is the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) proposed by the European Commission. The article addresses challenges for adequate risk regulation that arise primarily from the specific type of risks involved, i.e. risks to the protection of fundamental rights and fundamental societal values. They result mainly from the normative ambiguity of the fundamental rights and societal values in interpreting, specifying or operationalising them for risk assessments. This is exemplified for (1) human dignity, (2) informational self-determination, data protection and privacy, (3) justice and fairness, and (4) the common good. Normative ambiguities require normative choices, which are distributed among different actors in the proposed AIA. Particularly critical normative choices are those of selecting normative conceptions for specifying risks, aggregating and quantifying risks including the use of metrics, balancing of value conflicts, setting levels of acceptable risks, and standardisation. To avoid a lack of democratic legitimacy and legal uncertainty, scientific and political debates are suggested.
Proposal for Policy Change in the procedure of civil asset forfeiture
Authors: Tzenios Nikolaos
Published: November 2022

Without the proper due process, the civil asset forfeiture procedure violates the Constitutional rights of citizens. The proposal aims to address the current right granted to the police to seize the property of civilians. The authorizing laws established by the Assets Forfeiture Fund and the Equitable Sharing Program are problematic by offering a loophole for the abuse of the property rights of American citizens. While some states have abolished the practice, federal laws still support their enforcement. The deficiencies in the policies raise discussions on the issue of policies for profit as the major aspect of civil asset forfeiture. The proposal is to outlaw instances of civil asset forfeiture without due process on the federal level. On the state level, the preferred outcome would also include reform by repealing the laws allowing property seizure. The resistance to change in the legislature should be addressed by securing the success of the policy, taking advantage of the current unpopularity of unregulated asset forfeiture, and creating the base for the process integration on the federal level. The proposal calls for identifying stakeholders, analyzing their views, and strengthening their support. The social and political opposition should be addressed by putting emphasis on fundamental American values. The action plan and implementation process are built upon efficient communication by the policy committee to engage stakeholders and the wider public in the process. With clearly defined priorities and budget allocation, the policy will ultimately evolve into a legislative and organizational tool. Using the strategies of ascertainment of stakeholders and reframing issues to ensure appeal to American values, the change on federal and state levels will be achievable. While the change will lead to debate, significant improvement is attainable in due process and the protection of rights.

Authors: Paudel P. , Neupane S. , Adhikari P. , Tiwari U.
Published: November 2022

A survey-based study was conducted to assess the production scenario of Lapsi in Falewash, Parbat. Purposively selected twenty-four Lapsi entrepreneurs in Falewash Municipality, Parbat district were interviewed with a well-structured questionnaire that explored Lapsi production data in the last twelve years, which were then processed and analysed with descriptive statistics using computer software MS-Excel 2010. The average landholding size of the respondent farm households was 17.6 Ropani (0.88 ha), and 1 8% of the land was occupied by Lapsi. However, 95% of the Lapsi orchard is established in Pakho/Bari (Upland). A majority (66.7%) of the Lapsi growers were trained either for cultivation, grafting and/or processing techniques. The Lapsi productivity in Falewash, Parbat (12.7 Mt/ha) is above the national average (8 Mt/ha). A Lapsi orchard in Falewash, Parbat can be established with investing NRs. 3,762.89 per Ropani. The average annual operating cost of Lapsi orchard is NRs. 2,052.19 per Ropani, whereas the average annual gross return is NRs.15,890.57 per Ropani. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 2.84, net present value (NPV) of NRs. 30,146.3 and internal rate of return (IRR) of 33% signify the economic importance of Lapsi production. Pay-Back period of eight years in Lapsi production enterprise requires a long-term plan to be established as a cash-generating enterprise. The major problems in the Lapsi production are harvesting difficulty and damage by wild animals (mostly monkeys) whereas the poor transportation facility and inadequate market information are the major marketing constraints.

Climate change is an emerging global issue and its impact on agriculture of the developing countries has been increasing substantially in the last two-decade. Relevancy of issues how much the climate smart agricultural technologies were reaching at farm level and their economics of adoption were not properly studied in the past. Research examined the various climate smart agricultural technologies, the benefit of it and the socioeconomic factors affecting its adoption in the purposively selected Agyouli village of Nawalparasi district. For obtaining primary data from the respondents, 100 samples were selected by using a simple random sampling technique. The study was done by direct interviews and focus group discussions with the selected respondents through the means of questionnaires and checklist respectively in May 2018. The results of the primary information further complemented by using secondary data collected from the published sources. The community seed bank, green manure, biogas, legume intercropping, improved varieties, integrated pest management and integrated plant nutrient management as climate smart agricultural technologies in the farms of adopters contributed significantly higher farm income, productivity, gross income and benefit-cost ratio of paddy production for the adopters by NRs. 24377.9, 1.5 t ha-1, NRs. 35298.7 and 0.88 respectively than non-adopters. Further analysis of binary logistic regression model assessed the significant effect of age of household head, economically active household members and the training on the likelihood of adoption of climate smart agriculture. The study recommends climate smart agricultural technologies throughout the country in the changing context of climate change.

The predatory journal has emerged as a threat to credible scientific researches and publication practices because of its ill-money-draining mentality by attracting the authors for publication without providing mandatory peer-review, low publication standard, editorial, and publishing services. This study’s main objective is to assess the level of awareness about predatory journals among students of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS) as a hope to support scholarly communication in battling unprofessional conduct. We conducted an online crosssectional survey from 26th June to 6th July 2020 at IAAS. A structured questionnaire loaded in Google form was circulated online via E-mails, social media messages, and posted on various IAAS pages. With a total of 110 respondents from the veterinary and agriculture science students, the data concluded that among all respondents only 66.4% were familiar with the idea of predatory journals whereas only 38.2% of respondents were aware of Beall’s list and its concept. This fails in a published article to meet the criteria in the scientific community. Hence, proper knowledge regarding the nature of the journal is necessary for publishing the paper so that the scholarly work could reach its milestone.
Effect of Nitrogen Levels on Spring Maize in Relation to Mulching Materials in Central Inner Tarai of Nepal
Authors: Marahatta S.
Published: November 2022

The effect of different mulching materials and varying nitrogen fertilizer levels on growth, yield attributes, and yield of open-pollinated maize variety aiming at yield improvement was studied in inner Terai of Nepal through a field experimentation in 2019. The treatments included were the combinations of three mulching materials, (a) plastic mulch, (b) straw mulch, and (c) no mulching; and four nitrogen levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha-1) arranged in a split-plot design with four replications. Data on growth, yield attributes, and yield were taken and analyzed by using R Studio. The higher (p<0.05) heat use efficiency was recorded under plastic mulch and the higher levels of nitrogen application. The number of kernels per cob and thousand kernel weight were higher (p<0.05) in mulch treatments and higher nitrogen levels. Both the barrenness and sterility percentage were higher (p<0.05) for the 0 kg N ha-1 and reduced (p<0.05) by the nitrogen application of ≥100 kg ha-1. Increased tasseling-silking interval increased (p<0.05) the sterility and grain filling duration and increased (p<0.05) the grain yield. Due to the better yield attributes, the grain yield of mulch applied treatments and application of ≥100 kg N ha-1 were higher (p<0.05) than the no mulch and ≤50 kg N ha-1, respectively. The yield was hampered more by barrenness than by sterility. The effect of nitrogen levels on grain yield followed the quadratic relationship; 104 kg and 129-130 kg N ha-1, respectively for no mulch and mulching treatments which are estimated as economic levels of nitrogen fertilizers for open-pollinated spring maize under the central inner Terai environment.

Findings revealed that overall mean wither height of kids ranged from 28.84±0.59 cm at birth to 61.95±1.03 cm at fifteen months, respectively. Similarly, overall mean hearth girth of kids varied from 29.62±0.58 cm at to 65.04±1.17 cm at fifteen months’ age, respectively. Overall mean body length of Khari goat kids was at birth, weaning, nine months and fifteen months’ age was determined 28.09±0.67 cm at birth and reached to 59.96±0.98 cm at fifteen months’ age. Altitude, coat color, kidding season, dam’s parity, dam’s size, sex and birth type of kids were the important sources of variation (p<0.05 to <0.001) with respect to wither height, hearth girth and body length of kids at most of the stages of growth in case Nepalese hill goats. Thus, the results of present study help describe indigenous Khari goat breed using the phenotypic values of morphometric traits such as body length, heart girth and wither height which may be useful to estimate the phenological variations within breed.

Published: November 2022

The extensive use of agro-chemicals deemed the conventional agricultural system of Nepal as unsustainable, regarding which organic agriculture seems as a realistic alternative, which lays its major focus on sustainable production system rather than on productivity. It has been gaining huge interest and is being widespread in contemporary context. In this regard, the paper attempts to outline the status and practices of organic agriculture in Nepal. Highlighting the major policy initiatives taken for promoting and advancing organic agriculture in Nepal, the paper also brings in light the relevancy of global agenda Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and other international conventions for prioritizing organic agriculture in Nepal. Though being determined in the direction of organic agriculture, contradictory decisions and policies deterring organic agriculture continue to emerge in Nepal. The paper, thus, highlights those deterring policies and identifies the major policy gaps hindering the growth of organic agriculture in Nepal. Presenting the case of ambitious mission of Karnali province to gradually transform itself to fully organic province, the paper assesses the major constraints for organic agriculture and suggests some policy recommendations that needs to be addressed to further its growth and development and eventually develop a sustainable food production system to ensure the long term national objectives of food security and inclusive economic growth for healthy and quality life of all Nepalese

Reproductive endocrinology has advanced a lot beyonds the established hormones dynamics and its application is reaching novel areas. This review article gives insights on reproductive endocrine profiling, artificial insemination (AI), in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer in wild felid through exogenous hormonal application. Wild felids are seclusive creatures and they express slight to marked variations in reproductive mechanisms; we lack to clearly define normative data of onset of puberty to reproductive senescence and the understanding of fundamental reproductive physiology. This is crucial in many aspects of conservation in wild and captive breeding. Various researches in bits and pieces revealed that species difference with different estrus period, its length, hormone level were the keys for the failure of AI, IVF and embryo transfer in wild felids. This paper also summarizes the estrogen and progesterone monitoring in female and androgen (testosterone) in male, semen analysis and cryopreservation of sperm and embryo. Reviews of published work reports about 10 offspring born from artificial insemination and 39 offspring born from embryo transfer which are included in this article.

Dogs the first animals to be associated with humans have suffered most in unplanned urbanised societies. Community dogs are of serious health and safety problems in developing countries and many are seen suffering in the streets with various problems. Canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT), an only transmittable oncogenic disease seen frequently in these community dogs. Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH) located at Paklihawa Campus, Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS). Tribhuvan University (TU) is the major centre for canine health care in Nepal. A dog was brought with complaints of bleeding from the rear and visible reddish mass. The mass in the genital region was diagnosed to be venereal tumour by cell cytology. For the treatment of CTVT, surgical intervention along with chemotherapy (vincristine @0.025mg/ Kg) was done. To remove the ectoparasite, amitraz bath and ivermectin (0.2mg/Kg) was used. The dog completely recovered and it was returned in its original territory.
Brecha de Género: Una Mirada a la Lucha Contra el Techo de Cristal y el Suelo Pegajoso
Authors: CAIRA-TOVAR Norma
Published: November 2022

El progreso social ha permitido notar un incremento de la presencia femenina en diferentes ámbitos laborales e institucionales. Sin embargo, las tendencias culturales, ancladas a una concepción patriarcal tradicional, han dado paso a la aparición de términos como brechas o sesgos de género, techos de cristal y suelo pegajoso. Esta situación llevó a desarrollar un estudio descriptivo documental con el propósito de caracterizar el estado del arte de la brecha de género. Los resultados arrojan que, a pesar de los esfuerzos emprendidos en distintos niveles y contextos de la sociedad, el escenario persiste en los países occidentales, requiriéndose esfuerzos de mayor integración de factores que posibiliten una solución real que se manifieste en un mayor equilibrio entre los géneros. Se concluye que las brechas de género constituyen una problemática que no ha podido ser superada por el acceso a la formación superior y su inserción en el mercado laboral, siendo su ejemplo más notable en el ámbito académico, científico y tecnológico.
Investigadoras venezolanas en Ciencias Sociales y Educación (2022)
Authors: ARIAS-ODÓN Fidias
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo constituye un reporte de investigación preliminar cuyo objetivo fue identificar investigadoras venezolanas activas, específicamente en ciencias sociales, educación y otras disciplinas como bibliotecología, administración, gerencia, politología y lingüística. Históricamente, en Venezuela existen registros, publicaciones y reconocimientos para las investigadoras en ciencias básicas (ciencias exactas, físicas y naturales), sin embargo, las investigadoras de sociales, educación y otros campos afines han permanecido invisibilizadas. Además, la poca información al respecto se encuentra dispersa, razones de peso que justifican plenamente el estudio. Para cumplir con el propósito, se desarrolló una investigación en línea exploratoria basada en la consulta de tres fuentes esenciales: el portal oficial del Ministerio del Poder Popular para Ciencia y Tecnología (MINCYT), el World Scientist and University Rankings 2023 (AD Scientific Index), y la sección de perfiles de investigadores en Google Académico. Una vez filtrados y analizados los resultados, inicialmente se observan 7 investigadoras identificadas por la fuente gubernamental, 34 presentes en el índice AD y 20 visibilizadas en Google Académico, las cuales suman un total de 61 investigadoras activas en ciencias sociales, educación y áreas afines. Por último, se presentan recomendaciones para las que investigadoras venezolanas de sociales y educación obtengan mayor visibilidad.

Covid-19, a SARS-CoV virus-based disease, was identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Initially, it was considered just an infection of the respiratory system, but due to its transmittable nature, it was declared a pandemic. A variety of treatment options were implemented, including antivirals like remdesvir, favipiravir along with vitamins and antioxidants. Further investigations revealed that the Covid-19 infection results in thrombotic cardiovascular complications, which are the major concern for the increased mortality associated with this disease. This study investigates the in Silico design of hybrid molecules with antiviral and an-tithrombotic properties. A docking study was performed using Autodock Vina software, and binding energies of the designed compounds were determined for papain-like protease (PDB: 3E9S) and 3-chymotrypsin-like cysteine protease (PDB: 6LU7). The docked poses and amino acids interactions were verified using Biovia Discovery studio 4.5. The binding energies of all designed compounds were compared with the standards, Compound RL1 (2-(5-(3-carbamoyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3,4-dihydroxytetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methoxy)-carbonyl)amino)(hydroxy)methyl)carbamoyl)phenyl acetate) and Compound FL2 (8-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxochroman-6-yl(2-(6-flouro-3-oxo-3,4-dihydropyrazine-2-carboxamido)-1-hydroxy-3-phenylpropyl)carbamate) proved to be promising agents with strong binding interactions. Hybrid molecules that inhibit viral replication, possibly as transition state inhibitors, can be investigated further for use in the treatment of SARS-Co-V infection and its associated complications.
