Authors: Bardales-Zuta Víctor Hugo , Reyes-Aroca Sandra , Verona-Escurra Miguel de los Santos , Moya-Carranza Heber Giancarlo , Fernández - Rodríguez Lissett Jeanette
Published: October 2024

Objetivo. Aunque las causas del adenoma colorrectal han sido bien caracterizadas en otras poblaciones, este estudio es el primero en investigar los factores de riesgo de adenoma colorrectal en una población peruana. 
Materiales y métodos. Se trata de un estudio observacional, retrospectivo, de casos y controles de pacientes a los que se realizaron colonoscopias en el servicio de gastroenterología de un gran hospital del norte de Perú entre 2015 y 2020. Se seleccionaron dos grupos de 138 pacientes según el diagnóstico de adenoma colorrectal. Se compararon el género, la edad y la presencia de enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico, diabetes, obesidad, hipertensión y dislipidemia entre los grupos para calcular los factores de riesgo de adenoma colorrectal. Estos son factores de riesgo conocidos en otras poblaciones. 
Resultados. De los factores medidos, se encontró que la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico y el sexo masculino estaban asociados con el adenoma colorrectal (OR 3,3 IC 95% 1,8-6,1 para la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico y OR 2,2 IC 95% 1,3-3,6 para el sexo masculino). Otras características sociomédicas no alcanzaron significancia estadística. Además, no se observaron diferencias significativas entre cuanto a la ubicación, número, tamaño, clasificación endoscópica, histología o presencia de adenoma avanzado al comparar los pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico con pacientes sin esa condición. 
Conclusión. Este estudio sugiere que la enfermedad del hígado graso no alcohólico y el sexo masculino están asociados positivamente con el diagnóstico de adenoma colorrectal entre los peruanos. Esto sugiere la necesidad de un tamizaje más cuidadoso de estos grupos demográficos.
An Empirical Study on Industry Convergence in an Underdeveloped Area: Shanwei, Guangdong, China
Authors: Wang Di
Published: October 2024

The present paper studies the convergence of industry in Shanwei, a coastal city in Guandong province, China. The data originated from the Shanwei Statistical Yearbook 1990-2021. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is used to evaluate industry convergence. The Grey relational analysis assesses the contributions of the three industries’ added values to local GDP. The regression model verifies if the industry convergence is conducive to economic growth. The results first indicate that Shanwei City’s economy shows a significant increase in the proportions of the manufacturing and service sectors and a sharp decline in the ratio of the agricultural sector. Second, the service sector contributes the most to GDP, followed by the agricultural sector, with the manufacturing sector contributing the least. Third, industrial convergence is driving regional economic growth. This study’s theoretical contribution outlines the relationship between Shanwei City’s industrial convergence and regional economic development. The proposed policy recommendations are valuable for adjusting its industrial framework and promoting high-quality development.
The Effect of Empathy, Self-Efficacy, and Perceived Social Support on Social Entrepreneurial Intention among Youth in Malaysia
Authors: Ambad Sylvia Nabila Azwa , Rosnan Herwina , Samat Muhammad Faizal
Published: October 2024

This study examined the effects of empathy (EM), social entrepreneurial self-efficacy (SE) and perceived social support (PS) on social entrepreneurial intention (SEI). The study employed a quantitative research survey to achieve the research objectives and answer the research questions using an online self-administered questionnaire adopted and modified from previous research. Data was collected using convenience sampling techniques from Malaysian youth between the ages of 18 and 30; 250 responses were collected. The data was then analyzed using SEM-PLS (SmartPLS 4.0). Only two out of the three hypotheses formulated were found to have significant relationships. Contrary to expectation, empathy did not affect the inclination toward social entrepreneurial intention. Meanwhile, consistent with the theory of social-cognitive theory (SCT), social entrepreneurial self-efficacy and perceived social support have a positive effect on social entrepreneurial intention. This research fills the gaps in the limited research by using the three factors in the context of youth in developing countries such as Malaysia.

//Aluminum release from three bioceramic endodontic sealers. An in vitro test
Authors: Leonhardt Alejandro , Paduli Nicolás , Zmener Osvaldo , Chantiri Miguel , Della Porta Roberto
Published: October 2024

Objetivos: Determinar y comparar la liberación de aluminio (Al) a partir de la formulación química de los selladores endodónticos biocerámicos Bio-C® Sealer, AHPlus® Biocerámico y BioLine Sealer Z.
Materiales y métodos: Se prepararon cinco (n=5) muestras de cada uno de los materiales y se determinó el contenido de Al liberado mediante espectrometría de masa con plasma inductivo acoplado ICP-MS. Los resultados se analizaron mediante ANOVA y la prueba de comparación múltiple de Tukey con un nivel de significación de 0,05.
Resultados: La proporción de Al liberado por los selladores biocerámicos analizados fue de 0,04 mg/g para Bio-C® Sealer y BioLine Sealer Z y de 0,0012 mg/g para AHPlus® Bioceramic Sealer. ANOVA mostró un nivel significativo para el factor material (p<0,0001). La prueba de Tukey reveló que la liberación de Al de AHPlus®Bioceramic Sealer, fue significativamente menor a la de los otros dos selladores (p<0,05).
Conclusión: La proporción de Al liberado por AHPlus® Bioceramic Sealer es menor que Bio-C® Sealer y BioLine Sealer Z. Si bien los tres selladores liberaron Al, ninguno de los valores superó aquellos de la ingesta media diaria de un individuo adulto, por lo que no representaría un riesgo biológico para su uso clínico en humanos.
Palabras clave: Aluminio, endodoncia, selladores biocerámicos, silicato de calcio.

//Aim: Determine and compare the lease of aluminum (Al) from three bioceramic endodontic sealers Bio- C® Sealer, AHPlus ® Bioceramic Sealer and BioLine Sealer Z.
Materials and methods: Five (n=5) samples of each of the materials were prepared and the released Al content was determined by mass spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma ICP-MS. The results were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey´s multiple comparison test with a significance level of p<0.05.
Results: The proportion of Al released by the bioceramic sealers analyzed was 0.04 mg/g for Bio-C® Sealer and BioLine Sealer Z, and 0.0012 mg/g for AH Plus® Bioceramic Sealer. ANOVA showed a significant level for the factor material (p<0.0001). Tukey’s test revealed that the Al release from AH Plus® Bioceramic Sealer was significantly lower than that of the other two sealers (p<0.05).
Conclusions: The proportion of Al released by AH Plus® Bioceramic Sealer is lower than that of Bio-C® Sealer and BioLine Sealer Z. Although all three sealers released Al, none of the values exceeded the average daily intake for an adult individual, and therefore, they would not represent a biologic risk for clinical use in humans.
Keywords: Aluminum, bioceramic sealers, calcium silicate, endodontics.
Artificial Intelligence in SME financial decision-making: Tools for enhancing efficiency and profitability
Authors: Njideka Ihuoma Okeke  , Oluwaseun Adeola Bakare  , Godwin Ozoemenam Achumie
Published: October 2024

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) face significant challenges in financial decision-making due to resource constraints, limited access to capital, and unpredictable cash flow. To overcome these challenges, many SMEs are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency and profitability. AI, through tools like machine learning and predictive analytics, has transformed how SMEs manage their finances, offering solutions that enhance accuracy, speed, and data-driven decision-making. AI-driven accounting tools are revolutionizing routine tasks such as bookkeeping, invoicing, and expense tracking. By automating these functions, SMEs can reduce human error, save time, and allocate resources more effectively. AI’s ability to integrate real-time data ensures that financial records remain up to date, enabling more accurate cash flow forecasting. For example, AI can predict liquidity needs based on historical data, seasonal trends, and market conditions, helping SMEs maintain healthy cash flow and avoid financial shortfalls. In addition to improving efficiency, AI plays a crucial role in optimizing revenue and profitability. AI-based pricing models allow SMEs to adjust prices dynamically, responding to market demand and competitor behavior in real-time. This data-driven approach ensures that businesses maximize revenue without compromising customer satisfaction. Moreover, AI helps SMEs identify high-value customers by analyzing purchasing patterns, preferences, and behaviors. By focusing on customer segmentation and tailored marketing strategies, SMEs can boost sales and customer retention. Despite the clear benefits, AI adoption in SMEs is not without challenges. High implementation costs, limited technical expertise, and concerns over data privacy can hinder the integration of AI tools. However, scalable, cost-effective AI solutions are becoming increasingly available, making it easier for SMEs to incorporate AI into their financial processes. As AI continues to evolve, it will play an even more significant role in helping SMEs navigate financial complexities, improve decision-making, and enhance long-term profitability.

Published: October 2024

The oil and gas industry operates in an environment marked by high risks, complex regulations, and significant financial investments. Effective project management in this sector requires a robust governance and risk management framework to address operational, regulatory, financial, and environmental challenges. This review proposes a comprehensive governance and risk management framework tailored specifically to the unique needs of oil and gas projects. The framework integrates governance structures that define clear roles, responsibilities, and decision-making processes, ensuring that projects align with corporate objectives and compliance standards. Central to this framework is a risk management model that identifies, assesses, and mitigates potential project risks. The model emphasizes continuous risk monitoring, utilizing advanced technologies such as predictive analytics, AI, and digital twins to forecast risks and optimize decision-making. Additionally, it advocates for proactive stakeholder engagement strategies to ensure alignment among diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, investors, and local communities. The governance aspect of the framework promotes transparency, accountability, and sustainability, ensuring that projects meet both operational goals and regulatory requirements. It also introduces agile project management techniques to enhance flexibility and responsiveness throughout the project lifecycle. By integrating technological tools like blockchain for contract management and AI for predictive maintenance, the framework addresses both governance and risk management challenges. Ultimately, the review serves as a guide for oil and gas companies to enhance project efficiency, minimize risks, and meet the demands of an increasingly complex industry landscape.

A perspective on Varian edge live view calibration
Authors: Aime M Gloi  , Crystal Clark
Published: October 2024

Modern radiotherapy relies heavily on precise, real-time monitoring of both the patient and the linear accelerator (linac) components. However, current commercial surface scanning systems often overlook the monitoring of linac components, such as the gantry, collimator, and couch, focusing solely on the patient. This study aims to address this issue by developing a comprehensive understanding of the Varian TrueBeam Edge system using a live view calibration method. This method ensures accurate alignment between the machine's 3D model and live camera images, improving the precision and reliability of radiotherapy treatments.

This community service activity aims to overcome parenting problems and increase men's involvement in spiritual and social life in Ormu Wari Village, Ravenirara District, Jayapura Regency, Papua. The problem is that young people are less active in local church activities and, many men think that worship and the spiritual education of children is solely the wife's responsibility. This program is here to change this paradigm through various activities, such as effective parenting training, spiritual leadership workshops, and group discussions involving all elements of society. By increasing understanding of the importance of the father's role in the family, it is hoped that men can be more active in guiding children, strengthening household harmony, and improving the quality of relationships in the community. This program not only focuses on spiritual formation but also aims to improve social relations between residents, thereby creating an environment that is more conducive to children's growth and development and the overall welfare of the family. Through this activity, it is hoped that sustainable changes will emerge in the mindset and behavior of men in Ormu Wari Village.Keywords: parenting; father's role; parental example; character development.AbstrakKegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan mengatasi persoalan parenting serta meningkatkan keterlibatan kaum pria dalam kehidupan rohani dan sosial di Kampung Ormu Wari, Distrik Ravenirara, Kabupaten Jayapura, Papua.

Authors: Gaber Hassan Eman M , Omar Reda , Lewis Sharell , Al Moslim Zahra Saeed , Albinali Jumanah Hassan
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Since dementia has no treatment, its prevalence will strain healthcare systems. Dementia also impairs daily tasks, requiring long-term caregivers. Since dementia patients need 24-hour care, it can have a substantial impact on the caregivers' physical health and put a strain on their caregivers' mental health. Aim: Evaluate the extent of fatigue and mental health indicators among dementia patients' caregivers in the eastern region. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2023 to April 2024 at private hospitals, geriatric homes, and private homes in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia to collect data from dementia caregivers. The Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ 12) collected data from 205 convenient dementia caregivers. Results: 50% of the participants reported fatigue, while 72% reported mild mental exhaustion. The participants had a moderate level of fatigue (M= 23.8, SD= 6.65). There is no statistically significant difference in the overall fatigue scores among relative caregivers and nurses (p=0.211); however, there is a difference between males and females (p=< .001). Specifically, the females experienced more fatigue. There is no significant difference in general mental health among the two caregiver groups (p=0.211) or between genders (p = 0.085). Conclusion: The majority of the participants suffered from mild mental exhaustion, while half reported fatigue. Still, there is a difference between males and females, with females reporting more fatigue than males. Family caregivers for people with dementia encounter challenges and require comprehensive assistance to meet their demands.

As visitas pastorais na arquidiocese de Braga após o Concílio de Trento: a visitação de 1710 a S. Maria de Mire
Authors: Gonçalves Tiago
Published: October 2024

A rápida divulgação em Portugal das orientações saídas do Concílio de Trento deveu-se, grosso modo, ao apoio do cardeal regente D. Henrique e de frei Bartolomeu dos Mártires. A atuação deste último na arquidiocese de Braga forneceu um modelo a ser aplicado nas outras dioceses do reino. Contudo, a aceitação dos decretos conciliares encontrou em Braga uma oposição do cabido catedralício, das colegiadas, dos mosteiros e do clero local. Em relação à prática visitacional, o arcebispo procurou com sucesso substituir-se a essas forças concorrenciais, reconfigurando as áreas visitacionais. Apesar disso, os conflitos mantiveram-se. Por exemplo, no seguimento de uma visitação em 1710 à freguesia de S. Maria de Mire, por mim estudada, o visitador retraiu-se a sancionar o culpado, dada a proeminência do mesmo na ordem beneditina. Daí resultou um conflito entre a congregação e o arcebispo, depois propalado pelo facto de o culpado ter recorrido ao núncio papal.

O artigo problematiza a formação docente no contexto da Cultura Digital, a partir de documentos que norteiam a educação no Brasil. Dentre os documentos analisados estão: a BNCC (Base Nacional Comum Curricular), a BNC-Formação (Base Nacional Comum para a Formação Inicial de Professores da Educação Básica) e a BNC-Formação Continuada (Base Nacional Comum para a Formação Continuada de Professores da Educação Básica) a partir da perspectiva dos Estudos Culturais. Constatou-se que o termo cultura digital aparece associado às culturas juvenis, mas apresenta-se de modo naturalizado na BNCC, uma vez que não problematiza a exclusão digital dos educandos e a presença das tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação na escola é apresentada de modo salvacionista. Em relação a formação docente, o termo cultura digital é silenciado e em seu lugar aparecem termos alusivos, nas dimensões prática profissional pedagógica e engajamento profissional. Portanto, é necessário que a formação docente na cultura digital possa situar professores/as de modo crítico em relação as possibilidades e limites das tecnologias no campo educacional.

O murici é uma fruta nativa do Brasil, encontrada no litoral das regiões Norte e Nordeste, exótica, pouco explorada, utilizada na fabricação de sobremesas, doces, sorvetes, geleias, compotas e sucos. É fonte de fibras, cálcio, fósforo, ferro, vitamina C e compostos bioativos, fatores que juntos o torna um alvo potencial para agroindústria. Assim, esse trabalho teve como objetivo elaborar e caracterizar iogurtes com diferentes teores de polpa de murici quanto aos parâmetros físico-químicos e reológicos. Os resultados mostraram que os iogurtes apresentaram tendência de redução do teor de água e tendência de aumento da atividade de água com o aumento do teor de polpa de murici. Revelaram ainda redução de pH e sinérese e aumento da acidez, teor de lipídios, carotenoides e capacidade de retenção de água, com o aumento do teor de polpa. No entanto a adição de polpa de murici não proporcionou diferença estatística para o parâmetro de firmeza entre os iogurtes. Quanto ao comportamento reológico, todos os iogurtes foram classificados como fluidos não newtonianos com comportamentos pseudoplásticos caracterizados por uma diminuição da viscosidade aparente com o aumento da taxa de deformação. Todos os modelos ajustados aos reogramas dos iogurtes podem ser usados para estimar os dados de tensão de cisalhamento em função da taxa de deformação, com destaque para o modelo de Herschel-Bulkley que apresentou o melhor ajuste. Assim a adição da polpa de murici aos iogurtes mostra-se uma estratégia viável para o desenvolvimento de produtos lácteos com diferentes propriedades físico-químicas e além de apresentar potencial para agregar valor nutricional ao produto.

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a distribuição espacial da temperatura de superfície terrestre na área urbana de Palmas - TO, com base nas regiões de planejamento do novo Plano Diretor do município (2018), utilizando imagens do satélite Landsat 8, dados meteorológicos e o algoritmo SEBAL. A região de planejamento Centro Leste apresentou as temperaturas de superfície mais elevadas, devido à grande quantidade de áreas construídas e da presença de vegetação apenas em locais isolados. Por outro lado, a região de planejamento de Interesse Logístico apresentou a menor quantidade de áreas densamente construídas em relação as outras. Isso ocorreu provavelmente devido ao fato de localizar-se mais afastada das regiões centrais de Palmas e ainda encontrar-se em fase de expansão urbana. Os resultados evidenciam a necessidade de incorporar mais vegetação em áreas urbanas estratégicas, como uma medida eficaz para mitigar as altas temperaturas e melhorar a qualidade do ar e o conforto térmico nessas regiões.

Zhangwu Zhi, written by Wen Zhenheng in Ming Dynasty, is a monograph on the appreciation and protection of antiquities, which contains a wealth of ideas and strategies for the protection of calligraphy and painting. This paper aims to explore the concept and strategy of painting and calligraphy protection proposed by Wen Zhenheng in Zhangwu Zhi, and analyze its inspiration and reference to contemporary painting and calligraphy protection. Through the in-depth study of Zhangwu Zhi, this paper analyzes Wen Zhenheng's views and measures on the protection of calligraphy and painting, and discusses the storage environment, light regulation, air pollution control and pest control of calligraphy and painting collections. And put forward to establish a good storage environment, reasonable control of temperature and humidity, do a good job in the warehouse heat insulation, moisture-proof and ventilation management of calligraphy and painting protection strategies. These strategies had a profound impact on the preservation of calligraphy and painting at that time and later. Although Wen Zhenheng's ideas and strategies for the protection of calligraphy and painting still have certain limitations in the contemporary era, the protection measures and methods proposed by Wen Zhenheng still have inspiration and reference significance for the protection of contemporary calligraphy and painting. Through in-depth study and understanding of Wen Zhenheng's painting and calligraphy protection concept and strategy, we can better protect and manage the painting and calligraphy collection to ensure its safe inheritance and long-term preservation.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the techniques used in the process of identifying and developing young basketball player potential in Chinese basketball schools. The study included a sample of 150 teenage basketball players and coaches who were selected to assess specific criteria for talent identification. These criteria encompassed physical characteristics, technical abilities, tactical understanding, social qualities, work ethic, and contextual elements. The research used a blend of descriptive and inferential statistical methods, including regression analysis, to ascertain the most influential characteristics in predicting the selection of young athletes for development programs. The findings revealed that all the main factors for identifying potential were significant, with work ethic obtaining the highest ranking among sporting participants. The survey showed no notable disparity in the evaluation of credentials depending on gender. However, variations were seen based on the academic year level, namely in the perceived enhancement of skills, with senior athletes displaying a more positive perspective. The efficacy of the current development initiatives was evaluated favorably in all domains, with mental growth achieving the highest success rating. Upon further examination, a notable disparity was found in the efficacy of cognitive growth depending on gender and skills acquisition depending on the academic year. The regression analysis revealed that all criteria, including physical attributes, technical skills, tactical understanding, social attributes, work ethic, and contextual factors, have significant predictive power in determining the selection of young athletes for development programs. Among these criteria, contextual factors emerged as the most influential predictor.
Integrated Teaching Model: Teaching Sports Dance in Tertiary Education in China

Published: October 2024

In China, dance sports took a while to catch on but advanced quickly. The education system has to be improved, and its professional positioning is still unclear. Thus, it was timely to conduct a study on the teaching of sports dance. Using quantitative descriptive comparative correlational study, the study involved college students from five universities in China. It investigated the potential of an integrated teaching model in teaching sports dance in colleges and universities there. The study revealed that college students have high learning gains in dance sports courses regardless of their age, but low learning gains in class resources, learning attitudes, and integration. Moreover, they have different learning gains in sports dance courses in terms of class resources where 18 to 21 years old college students had a higher rating than those who were 21 to 23 years old. In terms of the teaching set, the college students evaluated high remarks to the teaching attitudes and interaction with students, unlike in the teaching methods where female students outperformed male students. Furthermore, this initiative offered a paradigm shift in teaching sports dance from a traditional to a student-centered approach. Also, the proposed study provided a significant contribution to the dearth of literature on teaching sports dance to college students. Lastly, the results of this study were the basis for the design of the integrated teaching model plan for sports dance courses in colleges and universities.

Authors: Yin Siyuan
Published: October 2024

The accurate translation of culture-bound terms is vital for ensuring the faithful representation of ethnic minority oral literature. Analyzing the English translation of these terms can significantly promote minority cultures, offer a comprehensive view of China to the world, and enhance the narrative of Chinese stories. China’s Eco-Translatology, rooted in Eastern ecological wisdom, provides a framework for translation in the new era, emphasizing Four-life Maxim. Guided by this theory, this paper examines the English translation of culture-bound terms in the Yi oral literature Meige, providing a reference for translating China’s minority literature.
Study on the Impact of Urban-Rural Education Resource Equitability and Student Endowment Differences on Promoting Educational Equity
Authors: Han Chenghao
Published: October 2024

Based on the empirical analysis of the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS), this paper explores the impact of the equitability of urban-rural education resources and student endowment differences on educational equity. The findings not only provide a new perspective and empirical support for the study of the theory of educational equity but also offer valuable references for policymaking and education reform to promote social equity and harmonious development. It is empirically found that cognitive abilities and parents' educational expectations have a positive impact on students' educational expectations, while the dropout situation of friends has a negative impact. Additionally, although health status has a positive influence on educational expectations, it does not significantly affect the choice of future residence. These factors together reveal the significant impact of the family environment, personal ability, and social relationships on students' education and life choices, emphasizing the necessity to optimize educational resources and family education support, holding significant theoretical and practical significance.
