Authors: Caldera Serrano Jorge , López-Lago Ortiz Luis
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo plantear propuestas que equilibren la labor docente e investigadora en el marco del sistema universitario español. La metodología desarrollada combina la revisión bibliográfica, el análisis legislativo y diversas técnicas de análisis cualitativo de naturaleza etnográfica tales como la observación participante, conversaciones informales-planteadas como entrevistas no estructuradas-, y entrevistas semiestructuradas. El análisis de los materiales resultantes apunta a las dificultades para el desarrollo de la una carrera docente e investigadora equilibrada, además de los obstáculos que supone para el profesorado tener que elegir entre estas trayectorias profesionales, a lo que habría que sumar las labores de gestión y transferencia. Se contrastan estos resultados con los principales debates existentes en la discusión académica sobre la naturaleza de las relaciones entre docencia e investigación y por último se exponen las posibles alternativas para que el sistema universitario español facilite el desarrollo de carreras profesionales satisfactorias para los miembros de la comunidad docente-investigadora y que al mismo tiempo impulsen el progreso del sistema universitario en su conjunto. A modo de conclusión es evalúa como factible el desarrollo de las distintas alternativas propuestas, bajo la consideración de que el momento político es favorable para su implementación, siempre que ésta vaya acompañada de una dotación presupuestaria suficiente.

Dijitalleşen Ekonomide Vergilendirme
Authors: HÖBEL Zeynep
Published: December 2022

Teknolojik ilerlemeyle birlikte hızlanan küreselleşme, yaşamsal alanda topyekün bir değişimin kapılarını aralamıştır. Bu aralamanın sosyal, kültürel, politik, diplomatik ve ekonomik alanlar başta olmak üzere bir çok alana yansımaları mevcuttur. Değişimin ekonomik alandaki yansımasının teoride karşılığı ise, dijitalin ve ekonominin aynı çatı altında buluştuğu “dijital ekonomi” kavramı olarak ifade edilebilir. Kavramın ilk olarak Japonya’da 1990'lı yıllarda yaşanan durgunluk döneminde Japon bilim insanları tarafından kullanıldığı, sonrasında ise Don Tapscott tarafından 1995 yılında çıkarılan Dijital Ekonomi kitabıyla batı dünyasına kazandırıldığı söylenebilir.

Dijital ekonomi Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisi (BİT) öncülüğünde, küresel ekonomik faaliyetlerin genelidir. Dolayısıyla dijital gelişmişliğin bir unsuru olarak dijital ekonomi, dijital dönüşüme adapte olamamış birey ve ülkelere kıyasla, adapte olmuş birey ve ülkeler için eşit fırsatları sunmamaktadır. Haliyle mevcut ekonomik sistemdeki sorunlara ilaveten dijital ekonomik sisteme geçişte sistemden kaynaklı yeni sorunlar da ortaya çıkmıştır. Dijital ekonomik sistemde yaşanan bu sorunların başlıcası vergilendirme alanında yaşanmaktadır. Ekonomin dijitalleşmesi her ne kadar hizmete ve ürüne kolay, hızlı ve ucuz erişimi mümkün kılsa da; uluslararası vergilemede belirsizliğe ve haksız rekabete yol açabilecek bir takım olumsuzluklara da açıktır. Dijital ekonomide vergilendirmede olası olumsuz yansımaların önüne geçebilmek adına, uluslararası alanda adil bir temele oturtulmuş küresel bir vergi reformuna ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Söz konusu ihtiyaca yönelik olarak ise günümüzde OECD başta olmak üzere bazı uluslararası kuruluşlar, dijital ekonomide değerin nasıl tanımlanması ve vergilendirilmesi gerektiğine ilişkin fikir birliği oluşturma gayreti içeresinde çalışmalar yürütmektedir.

Çalışmada dijital ekonomiye ilişkin genel bir bilgilendirme yapılarak, uluslararası kuruluşların bu kapsamda yapmış oldukları uygulamalar hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmanın ilerleyen bölümlerinde ise dijital ekonomide vergilendirme ülke uygulamaları örneğinde güncel haliyle özetlenerek, ulusal ve küresel kapsamda dijital ekonomide adil ve uygulanabilir politika önerileri geliştirilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Authors: Abdulsalam Abdullah Hadi Mohsen , Omer Nazih Ali Abdulrahman , Mustafa Mustafa Kamal
Published: December 2022

Background: Supracondylar fractures of humerus are the most common elbow fractures seen in children. Objective: To describe the patients’ condition and to evaluate the treatment and the outcome. Materials and method: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 40 consecutive patients with 40 displaced, supracondylar fractures of the humerus treated between January 2019 and December 2020, in Aden. The obtained data were sex, age, side of injury, time between injury and fixation, trial of reduction and complications. The collected data were tabulated and statistical analysis was done by estimating rates, means and standard deviations, Fisher test was used and p-value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The statistical software package SPSS version 17 was used. Results: The total study patients were 40 patients. Twenty-one (52.5%) were males and 19 (47.5%) were females. The age of the patients ranged between 2 to 10 years and the mean age was 6.6 ± 2.1 years. Twenty-four (60%) had the fracture on the right arm, and 16 (40%) had it on the left arm. All the patients underwent surgery within 24 hours of injury. The mean time was 8.1 ± 4.5 hours. There were 11 (27.5%) cases of once trial reduction, 14 (35%) of twice trial reduction and 15 (37.5%) of three times trial reduction. The average removal of K-wires was 3.55 weeks. Twenty-six (65%) patients were treated by III lateral K-wires fixation and 14 (35%) were treated by crossed K-wire fixation. Post-operatively, (17.5%) patients got neuropraxia in the crossed K-wire group (n = 14), and none in the III lateral K-wire group. Two (5.0%) patients got angulation, one in the crossed K-wire group (n = 14), and one in the III lateral K-wire group (n = 26). Cupitus varus were seen in 2 (5.0%) patients in the crossed K-wire group and 2 (5.0%) in the III lateral K-wire group. Stiffness was found in the III lateral K-wire group with 2 (5.0%) patients. Conclusion: The delay in surgical treatment may cause a number of complications. Key words: Treatment, supracondylar fracture, humerus, children, Aden

Authors: Alfaifi Amal Jaber , Abdaly Ahmed Yahia , Alallahn Sultan Musa , El-Setouhy Maged
Published: December 2022

Background: The mental health impact of a disease outbreak is usually neglected by pandemic management with costly consequences. Early evidence shows that health workers directly involved in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of patients with COVID-19 are at risk of developing mental health symptoms. Similar adverse psychological reactions were reported among healthcare workers in previous studies during the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome outbreak. Objectives: to assess the prevalence and determinants of depression, anxiety, and stress among healthcare workers at Prince Mohammed bin Nasser Tertiary Hospital in Jazan City during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted among healthcare worker at Prince Mohammed bin Nasser Hospital. A total of 352 health workers were included in the study. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire pertaining to socio-demographic characteristics and the depression anxiety stress scale 21-item questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were calculated for study variables, including frequency and percentage for qualitative variables and the mean and standard deviation for quantitative variables. A chi-square test was used to compare categorical data. P 0.05 was used as an indicator of statistically significant differences. Results: A high proportion of mild depression and anxiety was observed among those who had chronic illness (25.7%) and for those who had insufficient personal protective equipment (16.9%). Those differences were statistically significant, with a high proportion of mild stress observed among 3.4% of those who experienced the death of a relative by COVID-19. Conclusion: There was a considerable prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially among those who experienced the death of a relative from COVID-19 and those who had a chronic disease.

Can Probiotics be used as an adjuvant thereby for diabetes - hope or hype? Narrative review of the literature
Authors: Alfawaz Mohammed , Almutawa Wafi , Alfawaz Fawaz Abdullah M , Almutawa Ali M.
Published: December 2022

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by inadequate insulin secretion by the pancreas or the lack in ability of the existing insulin to function properly. So, diabetes forms a fertile media for many diseases and embodies a risk to human-being’s health. Unfortunately, the incidence of diabetes is increasing every year. Over decades, several strategies have been tried by specialists to control diabetes, some of which are medical and herbal. Although diabetes mellitus represents a growing global epidemic disease, at the moment there is no absolute solution at the molecular level that targets the disease. Despite the fact that bacterial functions, such as gut barrier stability and butyrate production, are crucial for preserving normal blood sugar and insulin levels, a growing body of evidence suggests that some naturally occurring gut bacteria are underrepresented in the intestinal tracts of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D){Sharma, 2019 #8}. In fact, we need to look at the possibility of using probiotics in the outpatient clinic. Probiotics have been demonstrated to be helpful for patients with diabetes mellitus, particularly at the cellular level, based on clinical trials and animal research, as well as their high tolerability. In preclinical investigations and human trials{Kocsis, 2020 #7}, probiotics have shown that they can lower insulin and fasting blood glucose levels in people with diabetes. Recently, probiotics have been used to treat a range of ailments, such as autoimmune conditions, allergic reactions, andinflammation. However, there was a lot of heterogeneity in these trials. Examples include the kind of species used, how many probiotics are used, and the level of effectiveness. In our review, we focused on reviewing the role of using probiotics as an adjuvant therapy for lowering blood levels of sugar and troubled metabolism of our body sugar. Keywords: probiotics; diabetes; type 2 DM; inflammation; adjuvant therapy.
A Novel Instrument for Caregivers in Managing Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Dementia: Baycrest Quick-Response Caregiver ToolTM *
Authors: Madan Robert , Natadiria Marsha , Berall Anna , Santiago Anna Theresa , Schwartz Kenneth
Published: December 2022

Background
Family caregivers can experience significant stress related to behaviour changes in persons with dementia (PWD). Approaches to support caregivers with stress management when responding to changes in behaviours are needed. The Baycrest Quick-Response Caregiver ToolTM (BQRCT) was developed to provide caregivers with an online tool that can be used in real time to recognize and manage their emotions when managing neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia.
Methods
A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate the feasibility of this new tool. Family caregivers of persons with dementia received education about managing neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia through the online tool. Caregiver demographic information and feedback about the tool was obtained through telephone and online surveys. Health-care providers accessed the tool and also provided feedback.
Results
The 21 caregivers who completed the study found the tool helpful and reported high feasibility that included being able to access, complete, and implement the strategies presented in the tool. The 18 healthcare providers found the tool useful and most would recommend it to peers and clients. Participants also provided specific suggestions for improvement, such as including more examples of complex behaviours.
Conclusions
This tool adds to and complements existing strategies for managing neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia. Its accessibility through the online platform is especially useful for caregivers who are unable to seek help in person, and for health-care providers and caregivers seeking additional resources.
Unsilenced Employee Voice in South Africa: Social Media Misconduct Dismissals as Evidence of E-Voice
Authors: Cornish René
Published: December 2022

Social media has transformed various aspects of daily life, particularly influencing communication and interaction in both physical and digital spaces. The South African employment relationship is no exception. Social media also creates opportunities for the articulation of employee voice. Through the content analysis of 118 South African first-instance social media misconduct dismissal decisions, this paper argues that employees use social media as a mechanism to express dissenting employee voice. There is evidence of individual employee voice notwithstanding employers implementing rules and social media policies to curtail expressions of dissent. It also persists despite the dismissal of employees for expressing employee voice through social media. Significantly, employee voice in the form of racialised speech badmouthing and cyber-criticising employers continues in the digital realm despite the legislative prohibition of hate speech. Despite high power disparities, the sample reveals a perfusion of individual e-voice by South African employees.
Ad-hoc-Publizität und Informationshaftung
Authors: Gansmeier Johannes
Published: December 2022

In den vergangenen Jahren stand kaum ein anderes Thema derart im Fokus des Kapitalmarktrechtsdiskurses wie die Ad-hoc-Publizitätspflicht nach Art. 17 MAR und die darauf bezogene Haftungsanordnung der §§ 97, 98 WpHG. Das ausgeprägte Interesse am Regelungskomplex Ad-hoc-Publizität gründet zum einen in der Virulenz mehrerer Großverfahren der jüngsten Vergangenheit. Zum anderen vereinen sich in diesem mit dem Informationsparadigma und dem private enforcement gleich zwei seit geraumer Zeit besonders "populäre" Regulierungstendenzen.

Gerade das Zusammenspiel dieser beiden Regulierungsansätze wirft im Kontext der Ad-hoc-Pflicht weitgehende Fragen und Probleme auf. Die vorliegende Arbeit unternimmt eine regulatorische Beurteilung des Regelungskomplexes Ad-hoc-Publizität unter konsequenter Berücksichtigung der wechselseitigen Wirkmechanismen zwischen Ad-hoc-Pflicht und darauf bezogenem private enforcement. Zu diesen Zweck adressiert sie aus dogmatischer, ökonomischer, rechtsvergleichender und unionsrechtlicher Perspektive Elementarfragen des Regelungskomplexes. Dieser Analyserahmen offenbart grundlegende konzeptionelle Defizite der lex lata, stellt vermeintliche Gewissheiten infrage und ermöglicht zugleich, regulatorische Alternativansätze im Bereich der Ad-hoc-Publizität - und darüber hinaus - zu skizzieren.
Student Perceptions of Open Pedagogy and Community-Engaged Service Learning
Authors: Williams Christian
Published: December 2022

Open pedagogy is an approach to instruction that places the student as a partner in the learning environment moving beyond traditional methods of instructional delivery that center the instructor as the expert. Open pedagogy allows for student contributions to the classroom that move beyond traditional instructional methods such as disposable assignments and educator led classroom discussions that are created by faculty to provide students with a learning experience. Instead, open pedagogy facilitates a student-centered learning environment that engages students as co-creators of learning and allows them to play a role in the facilitation of the learning environment. This paper focuses on the role of open pedagogy in community engaged service learning and is based on a quasi-experimental research study that explored student perceptions of community engaged service learning with and without an open pedagogical approach. The results report student satisfaction with the experience, perceived value, and the likelihood that they would take a course that combines these pedagogies in the future.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae Ketol-Acid Reductoisomerase Is a Potential Therapeutic Target
Authors: Rigane Emna , M. Zughaier Susu
Published: December 2022

The host-adapted human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the causative agent of sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea. The increased emergence of gonorrhea infections worldwide, associated with the surging resistance to antimicrobial treatments is alarming. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to human health and occur through various molecular mechanisms. This research aims to identify molecular therapeutic targets in N. gonorhoeae as a potential antibiotic adjuvant. This work is focused on ketol acid reductor-isomerase enzyme (KARI), an enzyme involved in the branched-chain amino acids biosynthesis. A BLASTp analysis revealed that KARI enzyme is highly conserved in N. gonorrhoeae strains and present in important bacterial pathogens including ESKAPE. Sequence alignment of different KARI proteins from various human bacterial pathogens and gut microbiota demonstrate that residues forming the active site and cofactors binding sites are conserved among all tested KARIs. A 3D homology-based model for gonococcal KARI was generated using Swiss model server and the KARI template from S. aureus. The generated 3D KARI model shows that this enzyme adapts a different conformation upon binding of cofactors, allowing the substrate binding and catalysis, while the active site adapts a closed state.
Trade and Culture: Religion Dynamics
Authors: Audu Terver , Ogonna Okorie John , Orekoya Aminat
Published: December 2022

The study seeks to understand the implications of cultural indices like language and religion on international trade. Using data compiled on the three most religious states and the three least religious states in the world, we reviewed the trading activities of these countries alongside their trading partners to find out if they are culturally connected or not. The research controls for colonialism and geographical distance. This is to isolate the effects of common colonial heritage and geographical proximity of countries on the trade between such countries. The study concludes that trade of cultural goods in the most and least religious countries in the world is not significantly determined by cultural layers of religion and language but other factors such as reciprocity trading and economic factors.
Problem Solving of Mathematical Games
Authors: Ginat David
Published: December 2022

Mathematical games are problems that involve algorithmic solutions. The solutions require recognition of hidden patterns and capitalization on these patterns. The natural tendency of many problem solvers is to devise algorithms without fully unfolding patterns. Such an approach lacks rigor and may lead to undesired outcomes. This chapter underlines a rigorous approach, of first focusing on the characteristics of a posed game and then developing its algorithmic solution. The solution development “goes” hand-in-hand with the realization of correctness. The approach is based on declarative observations, which capture the “what” of patterns prior to the “how” of game-strategy instructions. We illustrate the approach with colorful mathematical games of different characteristics and underline elements of solution processes, including creativity, problem-solving features, and mathematical notions.

Authors: Fyneface-Ogan Sotonye , Ogan-Hart Fiekabo
Published: December 2022

First described by Fidel Pages in 1921, epidural administration is a technique in which a medicine is injected into the epidural space has undergone various modifications and approaches in recent years. Epidural administration also involves the placement of a catheter into the epidural space, which may remain in place for the duration of the treatment. These advances have changed the face of clinical practice and improved the patient management. Modification to the approach of epidural administration has moved from the single-shot epidural administration to programmed injections. The use of these improved techniques has reduced complications associated with epidural administration and improved care. The administration of medication into this space has been considered as safe and effective for providing pain relief during childbirth and surgery. A review of these modes of administration will highlight the importance of each of the techniques.
Layered Tablets: A Novel Oral Solid Dosage Form
Authors: Subramanian Muthukumar , Sankar Chellam , Rajaram Gayathri , Ravi Vinesha
Published: December 2022

Oral solid dosage forms hold a predominant position in the drug delivery system. Tablets are the most widely used and convenient dosage form. Due to their ease of manufacturing, the minimum cost of production, easy handling and storage, and better stability, tablets are most preferred. Patients who are prescribed more than one drug are in a situation to consume multiple tablets. To minimize the counts, one or more drugs are cast into layers to form a single tablet, thus called layered tablets. Layered tablets tend to improve patient compliance and reduce the cost of production by half. Layers can be of multiple drugs or the same drug at different doses or drugs with release enhancers or drugs with fillers. Layered tablets hold a greater potential with better patient outcomes as well as stay production-friendly.

Authors: Mossotti Raffaella , Dalla Fontana Giulia , Anceschi Anastasia , Gasparin Enrico , Battistini Tiziano
Published: December 2022

Over 14 million tons of microplastic have been accumulated in water resources and they are increasing yearly. About 8% of European microplastic released into the water are from synthetic textiles. This kind of microplastic is generally in the form of microfilaments. They have a higher potential to enter the food chain due to their size and shape. Although microfilaments generate great concern, no precise guidelines for their quantification and qualification are yet available. Thus, in this chapter, the origin of microfilaments is fully investigated. After that, a novel approach for identifying and counting microplastic with fiber shape is presented. An accurate method for preparing microfilament standard suspensions is described to facilitate lab tests and have a reliable methodology for monitoring microplastic pollution.

Plaza de la Sinagoga en el centro histórico de Onda
Authors: Senis Ester
Published: December 2022

The idea was designed from an inclusive perspective, to improve the quality of life of people in the neighborhood. The project tries to reconnect the different levels of the place, building a floor with a continuous paving of anti-slipping stone as an adaptation of the traditional paving system. The connections with the streets are solved with soft ramps and with stairs of small height, to facilitate the daily displacements of the elderly people. The historical Valencia Street had been lost when the archaeological area was opened up and is connected from the historical center. A large wooden platform that adapts to the natural topography with steps, recovers this historic access road. The floating plaza is a continuity of the public space of the surrounding streets, which overflies the archaeological space. A floating pavement of iroko wood slats, with details of handcrafted placement, on a steel structure that allows it to adapt to the topography. An urban space made of wood promotes the tactile sensation of small scale in urban spaces.

La premisa inicial del proyecto fue dual al tener que realizar un proyecto de regeneración urbana, tratándolo con una perspectiva inclusiva para mejorar la calidad de vida de gente del barrio, y poner en valor los hallazgos arqueológicos de época andalusí (S.X-XII) y época cristiana (S.XIII-XV). El proyecto se centra además en reconectar los diferentes niveles del espacio urbano incluyendo un pavimento continuo de piedra adaptando el sistema de pavimentación tradicional local. Las conexiones con las calles se resuelven con rampas suaves y con peldaños reducidos para facilitar los desplazamientos diarios de los peatones.

In the process of learning mathematics, especially geometry, teachers must pay attention to the level of ability possessed by students. Van Hiele suggests that there are five stages of thinking that students will go through in learning geometry: the visualization stage, the analysis stage, the informal deduction stage, the deduction stage, and the rigor stage. Each stage of thinking will be passed by students sequentially without passing any of the previous stages. This study aimed to identify and describe the geometric thinking stages of high school students. The first is based on van Hiele's theory. The research method used in this research is descriptive quantitative. This research was conducted at MTs (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) An-Nur, Cirebon City, with a population of 318 students and a sample of 72 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used is in the form of a Van Hiele geometric thinking stage test with 25 multiple choice questions divided into five subtests. The results showed that 29.17% of students were in stage 1 (visualization), 25% of students were in stage 2 (analysis), and 6.94% of students were in stage 3 (informal deduction). There are still students who have not entered the van Hiele geometric thinking stage (at stage 0), namely 13.89%. As for the students who could not determine their van Hiele geometric thinking stage, as many as 25%. The highest stage achieved by students was stage 3 (informal deduction), so no student reached stage 4 (deduction) and stage 5 (rigor). In general, the geometric thinking stage of MTs (Madrasah Tsanawiyah) An-Nur students is at stage 1 of van Hiele's geometric thinking.
