Authors: Amoori Neda , Cheraghian Bahman , Amini Payam , Alavi Seyed Mohammad
Published: November 2024

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) and infection of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) have appeared as major public health problems. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at determining the relationship between TB and the risk of HCV infection.
Methods: Google Scholar, Embase, Medline, Pubmed, web of sciences (ISI), and Scopus were searched until March 2022. The pooled ORs of HCV in patients with TB were calculated utilizing the random-effect model with a 95% confidence interval (CI). test was utilized for evaluating the heterogeneity. To check publication bias Egger and Beggs' tests were used.
Results: From among 1500 articles from 2006 to 2020, 13 studies were examined and analyzed based on the inclusion/exclusion criteria. The overall risk of HCV infection in patients with TB was (OR: 1.34, 95% CI: 1.10-1.63, P=0.001). According to the type of the countries subgroup analysis, the risk of HCV infection in patients with TB in developing countries was (OR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.00-3.80), which was higher than the risk in developed countries (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.42-1.52). In addition, the risk of hepatitis C infection in men compared to women (OR: 1.84, 95% CI: 1.75-1.94, P=0.001) and in age groups over 65 yr compared to other age groups (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 0.98-2.16) was significantly higher.
Conclusion: The results of this study emphasized the importance of screening HCV in patients with TB. Being aware of the presence or absence of HCV in these patients can contribute to their effective treatment.

Published: November 2024

Background: Reducing the under-five child mortality is vital to a nation’s development; global progress has been made in the past two decades. Nevertheless, substantial efforts in the Sub-Saharan Africa region are required to address critical risk factors to attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. We aimed to identify the impact of socio-economic, demographic, and geographic factors on under-five child mortality in Kenya.
Methods: This study utilized data from the 2022 Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS). We extracted mortality data for children under the age of five and demographic, socio-economic, and household/geographic factors.
Results: Overall, 19,530 children under the age of five yr were included, with 9,950 (50.95%) males and 9,580 (49.05%) females. Amongst children, 18,836 (96.45%) were alive and 694 (3.55%) were dead. Study findings revealed a significant association between the mother’s age and the child's death. Mothers aged between 15 and 19 yr of age indicate higher odds of child death. The odds of death of children not breastfed is 1.69 times that of other children. Mothers who had no child above five years old previously had higher odds of child mortality than those with at least three children above five years old.
Conclusion: Under-five child mortality is significantly associated with breastfeeding, the mother’s age, and mothers who had a child previously in Kenya. The identified significant determinants align well with the SDG 2030 targets of improving socio-economic status, healthcare systems and reducing inequality. Therefore, the study suggests that preventing underaged women’s pregnancy, proper maternal nutrition among pregnant women, and breastfeeding should be practiced as they are more likely to reduce under-five child mortality.

Authors: Byun Hyun , Hwang Suyoung , Yi Eunsurk , Rokni Ladan
Published: November 2024

Background: Understanding the general health and well-being of the aged population requires an understanding of several factors, among which the interplay between physical activity and sleep quality are the most efficient determinants. There is still much to learn about the precise ways that different components of sleep quality affect different kinds of physical activity in older persons, accordingly, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between these variables.
Methods: An online questionnaire-based investigation was conducted between August and September 2023. This cross-sectional study analyzed data from 1,437 participants aged 50 to 89 years. The questionnaire evaluated levels of physical activity, sleep satisfaction, and demographic data. We used cluster analysis, regression analysis, and factor analysis to investigate the connections between these variables.
Results: Factor analysis revealed a single factor that accounted for 51.95% of the variance in all variables linked to sleep, and this factor represented overall quality of sleep. Regression analysis revealed that gender significantly predicted sleep quality, with females reporting lower sleep satisfaction. While strenuous exercise did not significantly affect sleep quality, moderate exercise was a positive predictor of sleep quality that neared statistical significance. Furthermore, cluster analysis revealed that those who engaged in more physical activity had higher-quality sleep.
Conclusion: These results highlight the significance of encouraging physical activity to improve older adults' sleep quality. Specific programs that promote moderate exercise may enhance this population's general health and sleep quality. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to create causality and modify intervention strategies aimed at promoting healthy aging.

Authors: Park Se Hwa , Lee Jin Hee
Published: November 2024

Background: We aimed to identify the factors influencing safety accident management activities for hospitalized children in children’s hospitals.
Methods: In August 2022, data were collected from 170 nurses across seven children’s hospitals in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Korea. The collected data were analyzed using independent t-tests, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis.
Results: Safety accident management activities for hospitalized children differ significantly based on nurses’ experience in children’s hospitals (P=0.048). Safety accident management activities were positively correlated with patient safety culture (r=0.47, P<0.001), critical thinking (r=0.35, P<0.001), and nursing work environment (r=0.51, P<0.001). Furthermore, the most influential determinant of safety accident management activities for hospitalized children was the nursing work environment (β=0.42, P<0.001), followed by nurses’ experience in children’s hospitals (β=0.20, P=0.004), and patient safety culture (β=0.17, P=0.041). These variables had an explanatory power of 34.0 % (adjusted R2=0.34, P<0.001).
Conclusion: A positive nursing work environment and strong patient safety culture are essential for increasing safety accident management activities among children’s hospital nurses. Additionally, children’s hospitals should provide support to the nursing staff and implement policies that encourage long-term retention of experienced nurses.

Published: November 2024

Background: We investigated the changes of Heart Rate Variability (HRV) parameters, which reflect the state of the regulatory mechanisms of cardiovascular system, among medical students during routine academic period and examination session.
Methods: The study was conducted in Jan-Feb 2024, at the IHSM in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic, among the healthy 70 students (mean age 19.71 ± 1.54 years) from India and Pakistan. For each student, two ECG recordings were performed: one 3 weeks before the exam and one 10-15 minutes after exam.
Results: The results of study demonstrated that after the exam, students presented significantly higher HR, AMo, SI, VLF, LF and lower SDNN, TP, HF compared before the exam (P<0.05). Distribution of students showed that on a routine academic period 53% of students belonged to sympathotonic, 14% to vagotonic and 33% to normotonic. During the examination period the number of sympathotonic increased to 74%, but the number of vagotonic and normotonic decreased to 4% and 22% respectively.
Conclusion: Each type revealed an individual reaction to exam stress: in the group of vagotonic there was a slight activation of the SNS; in sympathotonic students there was a tension of regulatory mechanisms, leading to depletion of adaptive mechanisms; in the group of normotonic there was a shift in the vegetative balance towards the sympathetic link of ANS.

Published: November 2024

Background: Variations in the distribution and prevalence of pathogens in ticks can have significant consequences for human health. Information on these variables in Transcaucasia is scarce, so the aim of our study was to conduct a large-scale study to detect selected tick-borne infectious agents in Armenia.
Methods: Overall, 209 adult ticks were collected from different hosts including 4 samples from human clothes. We tested ticks using high-throughput microfluidic single-cell real-time PCR to detect 42 genospecies of pathogens. We used GIS to determine biotic and abiotic factors governing the prevalence of pathogens and applied statistical analyses to test the association between prevalence of pathogens depending on hosts, locality and environment.
Results: From 209 samples, 134 were positive to targeted pathogens. Anaplasma phagocytophilum Foggie, 1949 was the most prevalent case (44%). The highest overall prevalence was observed in ticks from sheep (74%), followed by cows (67%) and calves (60%). The highest multiple infection rates were also detected in sheep (40%) and calves (40%) followed by cows (28%). One statistically significant association was found among co-infections (P<0.05). The prevalence of pathogens varied according to locality. The abundance of Anaplasma spp. is significantly correlated with “slope” and “vegetation” factors. Similar patterns were detected for other pathogens.
Conclusion: This was the first large-scale survey of multiple tick-borne pathogens in Armenia and Transcaucasia. The results of this study shed light on spatial variations in pathogen infection rate among adult ticks found on hosts and underline a number of environmental determinants of pathogen distribution among ticks.

Authors: Dabirzadeh Mansour , Rahim Saeid , Beheshtizadeh Mohammadreza , Azizi Hakim , Fooladi Bahman
Published: November 2024

Background: Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is one of the most common parasitic diseases in many regions of Iran. It has a major role in deprived societies. We aimed to identify Leishmania species based on molecular as ITS1-rDNA-PCR internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region, microscopy, and culture techniques in diagnosing cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Methods: From April 2018 to May 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional study involving 32 patients with suspected CL lesions in Sistan and Baluchistan Province, located in southeast Iran. Samples were subjected to microscopic examination, culture, and PCR amplification targeting the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) region. DNA sequencing was performed on PCR-positive samples for species identification and phylogenetic analysis.
Results: PCR demonstrated superior sensitivity (93.75%, 30/32) compared to culture (56.25%, 18/32) and microscopic examination (53.1%, 17/32). Molecular analysis revealed that L. major was the predominant causative agent of CL in the study area, with L. tropica occurring less frequently. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the ITS1 region showed high intraspecies similarity among L. tropica isolates, while L. major isolates exhibited greater genetic diversity.
Conclusion: This study shows the co-existence of L. major and L. tropica in Mirjaveh, southeast Iran, with L. major as the primary cause. While L. tropica isolates displayed high genetic similarity, L. major samples were more diverse, indicating different epidemiological patterns. These findings highlight the importance of molecular methods for accurately identifying Leishmania species and understanding CL epidemiology in the region

Relationship between emotional intelligence, quality of life, and infertility stigma in infertile woman: A descriptive-correlational study
Authors: Anari Mobina , Taebi Mahboube , Tarrahi Mohammad Javad , Pirhadi Masoume
Published: November 2024

Background: Infertility is one of the major crises in couples’ lives, affecting both mental and physical health. One of the most significant consequences of infertility is stigma; moreover, emotional intelligence and women’s coping style with these consequences can affect the quality of this disorder.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate emotional intelligence, infertility stigma, quality of life, and the relationship between these variables in infertile women.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted from April 2023 to February 2024 on 349 infertile women referred to “Hazrat-Maryam-Infertility-Center-in-Shahid-Beheshti-hospital” and “Isfahan-Fertility-and-Infertility-Center” in Isfahan, Iran. Sampling was done using a convenience sampling method, and tools included 4 questionnaires, a demographic and midwifery information form, the quality of life questionnaire, the women’s-infertility-stigma-questionnaire, and the Schutte-Emotional-Intelligence scale.
Results: The results showed that the women’s mean age was 35.08 ± 7.60 yr. The mean score for emotional intelligence was 109.06 ± 6.12, and the infertility stigma’s was 56.1 ± 14.73. The results indicated a positive correlation between emotional intelligence and infertility stigma (r = 0.13, p < 0.001). Only the mean score of social well-being and general health dimensions had a significant relationship with the total score of emotional intelligence (r = 0.037, p < 0.02).
Conclusion: Infertile women have a lower quality of life and experience higher stigma. Since the quality of life and overall mental health affect the treatment process, also emotional intelligence plays an important role in human life, educational sessions and counseling should be considered in the treatment programs to improve the quality of life, thereby facilitating the treatment process with greater ease and speed.
Key words: Infertility, Quality of life, Emotional intelligence.

Aim: The success and failure of marriage plays a fundamental role in well- being of society and individuals. Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a method to evaluate and predict the future of a marriage. As such, the aim of the present study is to validate Gottman's (2012) “success and failure in marriage questionnaires”.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and the research design used a descriptive-correlation and test validation. Modern method of multivariate item-response theory was used for data analysis. The questionnaires used in this research were for validation, criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling, and attitude about Gottman’s past (1401).
Results: In this study, the best model for factor analysis was determined to be the item-response multivariate factor analysis method and with the aid of this model, two dimensions were reported for the Gottman questionnaires. Also, the items factor loadings, the parameters of the Item-response theory and the analysis of the Items were reported.
Conclusion: At the end, two dimensions of "fight mode" and "positive and negative emotions towards marriage and spouse" were identified for these questionnaires. Data analysis showed that Gottman's questionnaires have good validity in Iranian families and can be used in clinical, research and organizational environments and it is suitable to assess Iranian families. Also, the data in this research showed that Gottman's theory has good empirical support, regardless of the cultural context.
Dini Anlayışın İş Hayatına Etkisine Dair Bir Alan Araştırması
Authors: Akdemir Mehmet Halit
Published: November 2024

Toplumsal hayatın birçok alanında insan ilişkilerini belirleyen din, insanoğlunun en temel faaliyetlerinden biri olan iktisadi ilişkileri de etkilemektedir. Bu durum iktisadi faaliyetleri salt iktisadi yapının belirlediği bir alan olarak görme yerine dinin de etkisinin olabileceğini göz önünde bulundurmayı gerektirir. Bundan dolayı iktisat ve din ilişkisine toplum bilimciler kayıtsız kalamamıştır. Bunlardan biri olan Weber, karakteristik bir dinî anlayışın modern kapitalist zenginleşmeyi getireceği ama sonrasında dinî değerler ile rasyonel ekonomik çıkarların birleşmesinin sekülerleşmeyi doğuracağı tezini öne sürmüştür. Günümüz dünyasında dinin sahip olduğu önem, sekülerleşmenin bu klasik biçiminin isabetsizliğini ortaya koymuştur. Dinin aradan geçen zamana rağmen toplum ilişkilerinde hâlâ önemli bir dinamik olarak varlığını sürdürmesi, son zamanlarda din-iktisat ilişkisine yönelik akademik ilgide tekrar bir canlanmaya sebep olmuştur. Türkiye’de neoliberal politikalar sonrasında dikkat çeken iktisadi başarının aktörlerinin İslami kimlikle anılmasından dolayı bu tür çalışmaların genellikle belli muhitlerde gerçekleştirildiği, ulaşılan sonuçların da İslami kimlikle anılan söz konusu kesime sosyal sermaye sağlama işlevi gördüğü düşünülen kuruluşların üyelerine dayandırıldığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca bu çalışmalarda dini inanç, özellikle girişimciliği motive eden boyutuyla ele alınmış, iş hayatının diğer alanlarına yansıyan boyutu ise ihmal edilmiştir. Hâlbuki din-iktisat ilişkisini daha iyi anlayabilmek için iktisadi kalkınmadan ya da belli bir konjonktürden bağımsız olarak iş hayatının tüm alanlarındaki tezahürlerine odaklanacak ve toplumun farklı katmanlarını içine alacak araştırmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenlerden dolayı çalışmamızın literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Nitel araştırma yöntemini kullanan bu çalışma, yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat tekniğiyle elde edilen verilerden yola çıkarak Siirt ilinde faaliyet gösteren iş adamlarının sahip olduğu din anlayışının iş hayatındaki tezahürlerini anlamayı ve betimlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu temel amaca uygun olarak din ve dindarlık algısı, çalışmanın motivasyon kaynağı olarak din, iktisadi tutum ve davranışlarda dini etki konularıyla ilişkili sorulara yanıt aranmaya çalışılmaktadır. Elde edilen bulgular, akılcılığa vurgu yapan, zenginleşmeye dair olumlu duygular besleyen, modern ekonomik koşullara uyum sağlamaya çalışan ve bunu dini inancıyla bağdaştıran bir girişimci profiline işaret etmektedir. Dini olanın seküler olanla karşılaşmasında yaşanan gerilimde geliştirilen yeni yorum ve yaklaşımlar da bu uyum çabasını desteklemektedir. Bununla birlikte katılımcıların para kazanmayla ilgili sahip olduğu olumlu duygunun helal-harama riayet koşuluna tabi olması ve Ahîlik esnaf kültürüne vurgu yapılması ise geleneksel İslami iş ahlakıyla uygunluk göstermektedir.
Çöküş Söylemi ve Edebi Süreklilik Bağlamında 17. yy. Osmanlı Dönemi Arap Edebiyatının Öncü İki Siması ve Eserlerinde Ön Plana Çıkan Temalar
Authors: Şimşek Sultan
Published: November 2024

Arap edebiyatı tarihinin dönemlerinden biri olarak Osmanlı dönemi Arap edebiyatı yaklaşık dört buçuk asırlık uzun bir dönemi kapsamaktadır. Modern dönemde Arap edebiyatı tarihi yazımına öncülük eden Carlo Alfonso Nallino (öl.1938), Hamilton Gibb (öl.1971), Régis Blachère (öl.1973) gibi müsteşrikler Osmanlı dönemi Arap edebiyatını yok saymış, dahası bir çöküş ve inkıta evresi olarak tanımlamışlardır. Bu makalede sözü edilen araştırmacıların dönemle ilgili iddialarının sağlamasını yapmak üzere Osmanlı’da Arap edebiyatı alanında var olan süreklilik, çeşitlilik ve gelişim durumu dönemin öncü iki edebiyatçısı ve eserlerinde ön plana çıkan temalar üzerinden konu edilmiştir. Makale, literatür değerlendirmesinin de yapıldığı bir girişi, Osmanlı Dönemi Arap edebiyatı hakkında bir değerlendirmeyi, 17. yy. Osmanlı dönemi Arap edebi çevrelerinde meşhur olan edebiyatçılardan Yûsuf el-Bedî‘(öl. 1073/1662)’nin ve Şihâbuddîn el-Mûsevi Ebû Ma‘tûḳ (öl. 1087/1676)’un edebi şahsiyetlerini ve eserlerinde ön plana çıkan temaları, edebi süreklilik açısından incelemeyi içermektedir. Adı geçen iki edebi şahsiyetin seçilmesinin sebebi, edebiyatta hem geleneği korumuş olmaları hem de eserlerinin modern dönem edebiyatını etkilemiş olmasıdır. Genel olarak Osmanlı dönemi Arap edebiyatında ortaya konan edebî eserler hakkında, özel olarak makalenin konusunu teşkil eden edebiyatçılar hakkında henüz yeterli sayıda ilmî araştırmanın bulunmaması bir boşluk oluşturmaktadır. Makalemiz, önemini bu boşluğu bir nebze de olsa doldurma çabasından almaktadır. Makalemizde, bu dönemin edebî gelişim ve zenginlik açısından bir duraksamaya uğrayıp uğramadığı veya yok sayılacak denli edebî faaliyetlerden uzak olup olmadığı; edebiyat sahasında geleneğin sürekliliğinin sağlanıp sağlanmadığı ve edebî olgunluk ile gelişime ulaşılıp ulaşılmadığı sorularına cevap bulmak amaçlanmıştır. Dönemin iki usta edebiyatçısına ait edebî temaların süreklilik bakımından değerlendirilmesi suretiyle konuya objektif bir bakış açısı sunmak hedeflenmiştir. Makalede nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimleyici yöntem kullanılmış olup edebî metinlerden verilen örnekler sınırlı tutulmuştur. Osmanlı Döneminin, Arap edebiyatının sekteye uğradığı bir dönem olmayıp, kendisinden önceki edebî dönemlerin devamı olarak canlılığını sürdürdüğü ve modern döneme temel teşkil edecek çalışmaların yapıldığı verimli bir dönem olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yûsuf el-Bedî‘î’nin ve Ebû Ma‘tûḳ'un edebî zevkleri, tenkit yetenekleri ve şair kimlikleri, onları yetiştiren kültürel çevreyi yansıtırken, canlı bir entelektüel ortamın varlığını da gösterir. Şiirlerinde klasik kasidenin temalarını dönemlerine uygun şekilde işleyerek, Arap edebiyatının zengin mirasının nesilden nesile aktarıldığını kanıtlarlar. Onların edebî kişilikleri, yaşadıkları yüzyılın entelektüel düzeyini ve dönemin edebiyatçı profilini nitelikli bir şekilde temsil etmektedir.

Ölçek genelinde en yüksek katılım (x ̅=4,16) ile “giyim-kuşamlarına ve kişisel bakımlarına dikkat ederler” maddesine, en düşük katılım ise (x ̅=2,87) ile “öğrencilerin duygu ve düşüncelerini önemsemezler” maddesine yöneliktir. İHL öğrencilerinin meslek dersleri öğretmenlerinin yeterliklerine yönelik tutumları sınıflarına, okullarına, ailelerin gelir durumuna ve Kur’an okuma sıklığına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık göstermektedir. Öğrencilerin meslek dersleri öğretmenlerinin yeterliklerine yönelik tutumları cinsiyetlerine, baba mesleklerine, anne mesleklerine, kitap okuma sıklığına ve yaşadıkları yere göre anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemektedir. İHL öğrencilerinin meslek dersleri öğretmenlerinin yeterliklerine yönelik tutumları ölçeğinin tüm boyutları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları ilgili alan yazında benzer araştırmalarla ilişkilendirilerek tartışılmış, araştırma sonunda öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
Humanitarian Research and Science: Features and Ontological Foundation
Authors: Rozin V.M.
Published: November 2024

The article discusses two main topics: what humanistic research and the humanities are and what are the features of the ontological basis of this science. The characteristics of these foundations, which were proposed by V. Dilthey (in the interpretation of A.S. Ogurtsov), are given: history, life and the triad “experience, expression, understanding”. The author tests this basis for adequacy, correlating these characteristics with the reflection of his own humanitarian research. As a subject of reflection, two author's studies are used (the life and personality of A.S. Pushkin and the story “The Young Lady-Peasant Woman”). At the end of the article, the author proposes to separate the characteristics related to humanitarian research and the humanities proper, and to pose the question of the ontological foundation of the humanities in a different way (to give not only definitions of the ontological foundations, but also to indicate how the researcher works, from what methodology he comes out).

Dietary Supplementation of Probiotics to Improve Milk Production and Milk Quality in Crossbred Jersey Dairy Cows
Authors: Al-Mahmud M.A. , Miah M.A. , Islam M.S. , Howlader M.M.R.
Published: November 2024

Background: Milk production and composition can vary during different stages of lactation. The use of probiotics can have an impact on milk quality and quantity. Methods: The experiment investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with probiotic on milk production and quality in crossbreed Jersey dairy cows [Jersey x Local (F1 50% Jersey generation)]. Sixteen crossbred Jersey dairy cows were selected and were divided into four groups: T0 (control group), T1, T2 and T3. The cows in the T0 group were given normal feed without probiotics. Meanwhile, the cows in the T1, T2 and T3 (treatment groups) were supplemented with 20 gm, 25 gm and 30 gm probiotics/animal/day for six months. Milk production and milk content of individual cows were evaluated during the three stages of lactation (early lactation, mid-lactation and late lactation). Result: Milk production was significantly (P less than 0.05) increased in the probiotic-supplemented group in a dose-dependent manner during all three stages of lactation compared to the control group. Fat, protein, SNF, density and ash content of milk were also significantly (P less than 0.05) increased in the probiotic supplemented group (T1, T2 and T3) when compared to the control group (T0). However, milk lactose and freezing point decreased in probiotic-supplemented groups (T1, T2 and T3) compared to the control group (T0). Moreover, out of the three different doses of treatment groups, milk quality was significantly improved in the group supplemented with 30gm/cow/day (T3) during all stages of lactation. Dietary supplementation with probiotics can improve milk production and quality in crossbred Jersey cows.

Background: This study is part of the contribution to the development of the medicinal plant Ephedra alata from the region of Bechar, Algeria. This work aimed to measure yields, total phenols, total flavonoids, antioxidant capacity and antibacterial evaluation. Methods: In this laboratory investigation during March 2023 to December 2023, the samples were macerated; total phenolic and flavonoids contents were analyzed using a colorimetric method, while antioxidant capacity was assessed through DPPH. The antibacterial essay was carried out by the disc diffusion method on a solid medium using Muller Hinton. Result: Phytochemical screening confirms the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, free quinones, reducing sugars, saponins, sterols, tannins and terpenes. Methanol extract represents the highest yield (4.41%), followed by butanol extract (3.3%), ethyl acetate extract (1.25%) and dichloromethane extract (0.69%). The dosage carried out revealed the content of plyphenols and flavonoids in the methanol extract was (175.73±0.25 μg EAG/mg DE) and (35.2±0.17 μg QE/mg DE), respectively. The evaluation of the antioxidant effect of the crude extracts by free radical scavenging DPPH gave the IC50 values of the extracts methanol, butanol, ethyl acetate and dichloromethane (0.170, 0.244, 0.324 and 2.23 mg/mL), respectively. The investigation into antibacterial activity revealed that the methanol extract significantly inhibited all tested bacteria, while the dichloromethane extract showed the lowest inhibition of Escherichia coli.

El Fenómeno del Niño es fenómeno natural que ocurre con un grado de frecuencia de 3 y 6 años a nivel nacional. Este puede ocasionar inundaciones debido al aumento de caudal en los ríos cercanos a ciudades provocando desbordes, los cuales, ocasionan pérdidas tanto humanas como materiales. Durante el Fenómeno del Niño en el año 2017, la ciudad de Catacaos, capital de Piura, presento la mayor cantidad de personas heridas provocada por desbordamiento de ríos. Por ello, una forma de prevenir estos desastres es realizar un análisis de la vulnerabilidad física por inestabilidad en las personas para generar mapas de áreas inseguras para este distrito. En la presente investigación, se realizan mapas de peligro y vulnerabilidad utilizando el software HecRas y ArcGis para el distrito de Catacaos ante una inundación de igual intensidad al Fenómeno del Niño del 2017. Por otra parte, para la generación de estos mapas se evalúa la vulnerabilidad a través del análisis de inestabilidad por momento y por fuerza de fricción realizando curvas representativas tanto para hombres y mujeres. Finalmente se realizan los mapas con áreas seguras mediante el software ArcGis.

En el 2017 el fenómeno del niño afectó al Perú en más de 2600 km de carreteras, 190 puentes y 150 establecimientos de salud (Ministerio de Economía y Finanzas [MEF], 2017). Asimismo, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) considera que el Perú es un país vulnerable por su cambio climático y desastres naturales. Por otra parte, diversos estudios determinan dentro de las principales causas de colapso de puentes la presencia de avenidas máximas que trae como consecuencia la socavación de estribos o pilares ​(Rocha, 2014)​. A raíz de ello, surgen propuestas de construcción que mitiguen las causas de colapso de estructura; una de estas prácticas es la construcción de micropilotes. Los micropilotes han recibido actualizaciones en el proceso constructivo haciendo referencia a los métodos de perforación, colocación de armadura e inyección del material de relleno. Sin embargo, en el Perú aún no se presenta la suficiente investigación para la selección y clasificación de materiales que permitan obtener un diseño válido en términos de costo-beneficio, siendo este material de relleno un factor importante que contribuye con la capacidad de carga de los micropilotes (Aboutabikh & Soliman, 2019). Por tales motivos, la presente tesis se enfoca en el diseño y la determinación de un mortero autonivelante que cumpla con las especificaciones técnicas de normas internacionales para su aplicación en micropilotes con materiales propios a la localidad, donde existen antecedentes de dicha práctica constructiva. Se propondrán doce diseños de mortero autonivelante en donde se estudiarán sus propiedades en estado fresco y endurecido para posteriormente mediante un análisis costo – beneficio realizar la selección de la mejor propuesta.

Authors:   , Aguirre Panduro Emily Criss , Alegre Torres Aissa María
Published: November 2024

Introducción: La Alfabetización Sanitaria (AS) resulta esencial para que los individuos puedan tomar decisiones saludables y fundamentadas. Este estudio se centra en investigar si los pacientes del Hospital "Víctor Ramos Guardia" de Huaraz poseen una percepción positiva de su salud y si esta se asocia con un nivel adecuado de AS. Objetivo: Investigar cómo se relaciona la percepción positiva de la salud con el nivel de AS en pacientes de 30 a 60 años que acuden a consulta externa del Hospital “Víctor Ramos Guardia”, durante el período del 8 de junio al 8 de julio de 2022. Metodología: Durante el periodo del 8 de junio al 8 de julio de 2022, se realizó un estudio analítico observacional en pacientes de 30 a 60 años que visitaron el Hospital “Víctor Ramos Guardia”. Las encuestas fueron presenciales y se empleó el test HLS-EU-Q16 para evaluar la AS. Resultados: Con base en los análisis estadísticos realizados, se confirmó la hipótesis planteada. Para evaluar esta relación, se empleó la técnica de Regresión Poisson, y los resultados indicaron que una autopercepción de salud catalogada como "muy buena" fue estadísticamente significativa en relación con un nivel de AS considerado "suficiente" (p <0.001). Conclusiones: Se observa una asociación entre pacientes con una percepción positiva de su salud y aquellos con un nivel suficiente de AS. Sugerimos realizar más investigaciones para mejorar la AS de los pacientes, lo que podría permitirles interactuar de forma más eficiente en el sistema de salud, beneficiando su bienestar en general.

Published: November 2024

El tema de tesis presentado a continuación es un Centro sociocultural ubicado en la provincia de Chincha, siguiendo la guía de diseño basada en el énfasis de la neuroarquitectura. Esta propuesta arquitectónica se plantea como respuesta para ayudar a afrontar la afectación emocional post sismo del 2007 y la carencia de diálogo intercultural en la provincia. Chincha está llena de riqueza cultural, la misma que ha sido desvalorizada y olvidada a lo largo de los años, por los propios chinchanos. La importancia de que la provincia cuente con un centro sociocultural radica en la posibilidad que tiene este, para convertirse en un espacio de refugio, encuentro y convivencia de la comunidad. Además de ser un espacio para la difusión, expresión y formación cultural.

Cada vez es más difícil ignorar los casos de desigualdad de género que están presentes en la sociedad, así como la falta de empoderamiento en las mujeres desde edades tempranas para contribuir a la solución del problema. Por ello, existe la necesidad de generar propuestas tecnológicas que permitan desarrollar las capacidades del empoderamiento femenino en la etapa escolar. En este trabajo proponemos un sistema de aprendizaje web denominado EmpowerMe para la enseñanza de temas de empoderamiento mediante su plataforma interactiva y las cuatro herramientas integradas como chatbot, webinar, plataforma de aprendizaje basado en juegos y biblioteca digital, que están destinadas a facilitar la formación de las estudiantes de secundaria. EmpowerMe fue validada por 7 psicólogos especialistas en empoderamiento femenino quienes constataron la utilidad y funcionalidad del sistema y sus herramientas para el desarrollo de competencias de empoderamiento.

Objetivos: Determinar la asociación entre el grado de severidad de la infección por COVID-19 durante el embarazo y la rotura prematura de membranas pretérmino (RPMP) en un hospital nivel III de Perú. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio transversal, analítico y observacional en mujeres mayores de 18 años con diagnóstico de infección por COVID-19 durante el embarazo durante el periodo del 2020-2022. Se recogieron variables clínicas y obstétricas. Para el análisis descriptivo se realizaron las pruebas de Chi Cuadrado y Test Exacto de Fisher, y para el análisis multivariado, se calculó la razón de prevalencia mediante Regresión de Poisson en modelos crudos y ajustados. Todas las pruebas estadísticas se realizaron considerando un p<0,05 como significativo y con un nivel de confianza de 95%. Resultados: Se analizaron los datos de 163 gestantes infectadas por COVID-19, de las cuales 9,2% desarrollaron RPMP. Todas ellas correspondieron a casos sintomáticos. Las pacientes con casos leves tuvieron 1,10 veces la probabilidad de presentar RPMP (RPa = 1,10; IC95%: 1,02-1,18) y los casos moderados/severos tuvieron 1,64 veces la probabilidad (RPa = 1,64; IC95%: 1,43-1,87) en comparación con los casos asintomáticos. Conclusiones: Se identificó que un mayor grado de severidad de la infección por COVID-19 durante el embarazo se asocia a una mayor probabilidad de desarrollar RPMP.

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre la automedicación como causa de no acudir a un establecimiento de salud con las etnias del Perú. Métodos: Análisis secundario sobre la obtención de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares (ENAHO) en el año 2019. Se usó modelos lineales generalizados de Poisson para muestras complejas, y asimismo; se calculó razones de prevalencia cruzadas y ajustadas (aPR) asociadas a sus intervalos de confianza (IC) del 95%. Por último, se evaluó las relaciones de colinealidad entre variables a través del modelo ajustado. Resultados: Se analizaron 23 242 personas. El predominio sobre la automedicación fue 25.7 %, IC 95%(22.9 - 24.9). Pertenecer a la etnia nativoamazónico se asoció con mayor prevalencia de automedicación como causa de no asistir a un establecimiento de salud con un total de 28.8% PR: 1.4, IC 95% ( 1.1 - 1.7) p < 0.01. De lo contrario, la población Aymara o blancos era menos prevalente de automedicarse como causa de no acudir comparado con la población mestiza. PR: 0.38, IC 95% ( 0.28 - 0.51) p < 0.01, PR: 0.79, IC 95% ( 0.67 - 0.93) p < 0.01, respectivamente. Conclusiones: Se encontró que existe mayor prevalencia en los mestizos que se automedicaron como causa de no acudir a un centro de salud, en comparación con los quechuas, aymaras, nativo amazónicos y el resto de participantes.

Published: November 2024

Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar la relación entre el estrés laboral y la motivación laboral en trabajadores administrativos entre 20 y 60 años que realizan trabajo remoto de Lima Metropolitana en el contexto de la pandemia. Asimismo, comparar los puntajes de estrés laboral y motivación laboral según el sexo y el incremento de la carga laboral debido a la pandemia. La investigación tiene un diseño correlacional y se usó la Escala de Estrés Laboral y Escala de Motivación Laboral (R-MAWS). Los resultados revelan que existe una relación positiva y directa entre Estrés laboral y las dimensiones de Desmotivación (p < .01) y Regulación externa (p < .001) de Motivación laboral. En relación con los objetivos específicos, existen diferencias significativas según el sexo (Desmotivación y Superiores y Recursos; p < .05 y Te < .30) y según el incremento de la carga laboral (Organización y equipo de trabajo, Superiores y recursos, Desmotivación, Regulación Externa y Regulación introyectada; p < .05 y Te < .40). En conclusión, el trabajo remoto modificó la dinámica organizacional, lo que ha generado un mayor estrés laboral y desmotivación en los colaboradores en un contexto de incertidumbre debido a la pandemia. Asimismo, la diferencia de oportunidades laborales según el sexo ha conllevado a que las mujeres presenten mayor desmotivación frente a los hombres. Por último, los factores psicosociales y presentes del trabajo remoto han aumentado la carga laboral.
