Los retos de la educación a través del uso de las nuevas tecnologías, las políticas de Estado y las desigualdades regionales
Authors: Jiménez Estrada Daniel Antonio
Published: February 2025

Desde mediados de abril de 2020 a la fecha, los efectos del COVID-19 han desnudado la realidad de todos los sistemas educativos del mundo. Se trastocaron las prácticas habituales de un momento a otro, como las costumbres y los lugares tradicionales de aprendizaje, las metodologías y sus formas de estudio. Se limitó la posibilidad de desarrollar otro tipo de actividades formativas de carácter deportivo, cultural y la propia socialización. También se dificultó el impulso de hábitos esenciales para el desarrollo humano, como la salud y el crecimiento personal.
El objetivo de este artículo es realizar dos reflexiones, por un lado, identificar los principales efectos de la pandemia de salud sobre los sistemas educativos y el uso de la tecnología y, por el otro lado, reconocer que, derivado de lo anterior, se constata que hace falta seguir trabajando para disminuir las desigualdades regionales que el estado debe fortalecer a través de las políticas públicas en materia educativa.

Published: February 2025

Carotenoids represent a family of compounds found in plant foods. They are fascinated by the conjunction of their biological properties in preventing diseases such as atherosclerosis, cancers, and premature aging. Mung bean is a legume of the Vigna genus whose seeds are rich in bioactive compounds, particularly carotenoids. This work aimed to identify the most carotenoids in the seeds of mung beans acclimated to Burkina Faso by HPLC-MS/MS. To achieve this, the seeds were extracted with a cold acetone/hexane mixture (50/50, V/V). After saponification, the crude extract was characterized by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and UV-visible spectrometry. Test methods using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) made it possible to identify the majority carotenoids in the extracts. The thin layer chromatographic profile of the crude extract revealed two spots with Rf= 0.48 and 0.87 corresponding respectively to xanthophylls and carotenes. The UV-visible spectra of the spots each showed an absorption maximum of 450nm. HPLC-MS/MS analysis identified the structures of three carotenoids: β-cryptoxanthin, α-tocopherol, and β-carotene. These compounds identified in V. radiata seeds are very useful in many fields, including pharmaceutical, agri-food and biological. The HPLC-MS/MS technique represents one of the useful and efficient tools for the identification of bioactive substances in crude extracts.

A Path to Conscious AI- Decerning the Aristotelian Ethics
Authors: S Shyni Carmel Mary
Published: February 2025

In the current Artificial Intelligence(AI) era, intense scrutiny needs to set the framework for AI, which provides rapid advancements in different fields. There is a need for careful consideration, adaptation, and the amalgamation of diverse ethical perspectives to tackle the ethical issues AI presents effectively. Therefore, the present study explores the essential dimensions of Aristotelian ethics, like well-being, virtues, and practical wisdom for AI-driven implementations and examines the relevance of ancient ethical principles in addressing the ethical challenges of AI through a literature review and a focus group discussion. The insights of the focus group discussion were aggregated and explained in three-letter words “WHY” (W is Why, How and Yield to represent the outcome). First, we delve into why these ethical dimensions of Aristotelian; second, how these ancient principles can shape AI systems by critically analysing the suitability of these ethics for designing and utilising AI technologies; and third, knowing the implications of the integration of Aristotle’s ethics and AI. Integrate these two to contribute to human flourishing as an entity that can enhance the collective well-being through their virtuous actions; however, the direct implementation of Aristotle’s ethical framework, such as virtues, moral character, and the pursuit of the good life, or eudaimonia, challenges the implementation of AI ethics, This will create AI systems that are not only intelligent and efficient but also moral and virtuous.

Authors:   National Scientific Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after Academician Batpenov N.D., Spichak Lyudmila
Published: February 2025

Aplasia of the inferior vena cava is a rare congenital malformation, occurring in 0.005-1% of the population, characterized by the
absence of lumen of the inferior vena cava at the level of one or more of its segments. Compensatory venous outflow can occur along four main
routes: deep, portal, median and superficial. Ineffective collateralization in patients with this anomaly can result in decreased blood flow in the
lower extremities and pelvis, leading to venous stasis and increasing the likelihood of thrombosis. Also, the presence of aplasia of the inferior
vena cava, undiagnosed at the outpatient stage, can lead to complications during surgical operations, or significantly affect the course of the
operation itself.
This article presents a clinical case of aplasia of the renal and post-renal segments of the inferior vena cava in a 36-year-old woman,
with the presence of compensatory venous outflow along the deep and median tracts. The anomaly was suspected during examination of the
patient in the magnetic resonance imaging office, where she was referred by a neurologist to examine the lumbar spine. Next, the vascular
abnormality was examined in detail and confirmed by computed tomography of the abdominal segment with bolus contrast.
Keywords: inferior vena cava, aplasia, сlinical case.

Authors: Tobing Angelyn E Nauli , Santosa Wahyuningsih
Published: February 2025

This study examines the impact of digital capabilities on supply chain innovation performance through digital innovation in manufacturing companies in Bogor. In the advancing digital era, an organization's ability to leverage digital technology is crucial for achieving a competitive advantage. The research adopts a quantitative approach using a questionnaire survey. Convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods were employed to gather a sample size of 133 respondents. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the relationships between absorptive capacity, supply chain resilience, and supply chain innovation performance. The results indicate that absorptive capacity positively influences supply chain innovation performance (P-value 0.0245 < 0.05) with a positive estimated value of 0.134. However, absorptive capacity does not significantly affect supply chain resilience (P-value 0.310 > 0.05). Additionally, supply chain resilience does not positively impact supply chain innovation performance, as shown by a P-value of 0.032 < 0.05 but with a negative estimated value of -0.134, indicating a negative effect. The hypothesis that absorptive capacity influences supply chain innovation performance through supply chain resilience is not supported. In conclusion, while absorptive capacity can directly enhance innovation performance, other factors such as risk management and supply source diversification need to be addressed to improve supply chain resilience. This study suggests that strengthening employee training and development will enhance absorptive capacity and recommends exploring additional factors that may facilitate the integration of absorptive capacity and innovation in the supply chain. Further qualitative research is needed to explore other factors that influence these relationships.

Phenomenological subjectivity and consciousness – groundwork for an eco-phenomenology
Authors: Zanlorenzi Rafael , Michaliszyn Mario Sergio
Published: February 2025

The present research aim to analyze the foundations of Husserl’s phenomenology and its legacy, employing its attributes in the creation of an eco-phenomenology toolset. The trend in question focuses on the notable revision of the subject-object relationship, introduced by Husserlian thought. From his repositioning of the reflective subject under the transcendental ego, Husserl authorizes the reconstitution of the cognitive and epistemological bases of thought on a set of entitative qualities, which equates the aware observer to the observed entitative universe, according to the similarity of existential conditions. Thus, the reflective character that sediments human experience is henceforth considered a natural phenomenon, contiguous to other transformations and determinations of meaning conferred by non-human beings—biotic and abiotic, demanding a re-conception of their phenomenological roles as semiotic agents (and, therefore, agents of environmental transformation). The perspective changes translated here provide us with an opportunity to approach and refine the proposal for an assembly (parliament) of non-humans presented in Latour’s work, thereby insinuating that the establishment of an ecocentric paradigm will only be possible under such philosophical conditions. Based on the massive version of this paradigm, the purpose is to review the scientific and political fundamentals for organizing the political scenario in favor of so-called ecological democracies.

Authors: Inam Ayesha , Rubab Asia , Akram Imran , Shahid Baig Mehr Un Nisa
Published: February 2025

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a significant public health issue, particularly among pregnant women, due to its association with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. This study aims to assess awareness, practices, and perceived barriers related to iron consumption during pregnancy among women attending the Gynecology OPD at Federal General Hospital, Chak Shehzad, Islamabad.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women. Awareness was evaluated using five questions related to iron consumption, with scores categorized into low, moderate, and high awareness. Practices were assessed using five additional questions, and cumulative practice scores were classified as poor, insufficient, or good. Perceived barriers, side effects of iron supplements, and counselling received from healthcare providers were also explored. Serum haemoglobin levels from pathology lab reports were classified into anaemia severity categories using WHO criteria. Chi-square tests were used to evaluate associations between awareness, practices, and demographic variables.
Results: The study revealed a moderate overall awareness score of 0.53 (SD = 0.199). Higher education, urban residence, employment, and higher income were significantly associated with better awareness levels (p < 0.005). Practices related to iron consumption were below average, with a cumulative practice score of 0.35 (SD = 0.197). Employed women, urban residents, and those with higher education exhibited better practices (p < 0.005). Major barriers to regular iron supplement intake included forgetfulness (29.5%), side effects (26.5%), and cost (18.2%). Approximately 48.4% of participants reported insufficient counselling from healthcare providers. Most women (49.3%) had moderate anaemia, with no significant associations between anaemia severity and awareness or practices.
Conclusion: Despite moderate awareness, poor practices and significant barriers hinder optimal iron consumption among pregnant women. Enhancing education, healthcare provider counselling, and accessibility to iron supplements are crucial to improving maternal health outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Il processo di handover è fondamentale per garantire la qualità e la sicurezza delle cure sanitarie, soprattutto in contesti chirurgici, dove il trasferimento di pazienti tra diversi team aumenta la complessità assistenziale. La comunicazione inefficace durante l'handover è una delle principali cause di eventi avversi.
OBIETTIVO:Esplorare la percezione degli infermieri riguardo al processo di handover nei contesti chirurgici della Regione Marche e identificare informazioni chiave necessarie per un passaggio efficace e sicuro dei pazienti tra i reparti chirurgici e le sale operatorie. 
METODI:Indagine esplorativa utilizzando un questionario. Lo strumento, distribuito in web, è stato somministrato agli infermieri che lavorano nei reparti chirurgici e nelle sale operatorie.
RISULTATI:I risultati hanno rivelato un forte consenso tra gli infermieri sull'importanza di un processo di handover efficace, con il 99% che lo riconosce come cruciale per la gestione dei pazienti. Tuttavia, solo il 55% ha valutato positivamente il processo attuale, mentre il 34% lo ha giudicato inadeguato. Una significativa maggioranza (95%) ha sostenuto l'implementazione di uno strumento standardizzato per il trasferimento delle informazioni. Lo studio ha inoltre identificato informazioni specifiche ritenute essenziali dagli infermieri sia per le fasi pre-operatorie che post-operatorie. 
CONCLUSIONI: Lo studio evidenzia il ruolo critico di un handover ben strutturato nel garantire la continuità dell'assistenza e la sicurezza dei pazienti nei contesti chirurgici. Sottolinea la necessità di migliorare gli strumenti esistenti integrando informazioni essenziali e propone l'adozione di un sistema digitale per migliorare l'accuratezza, la tempestività e la tracciabilità dei dati clinici durante gli handover.
The Quest for Text. Greek Manuscripts and Medieval Latin Translators
Authors: Beullens Pieter
Published: February 2025

Medieval translators from Greek had to face an important challenge in getting hold of high quality model texts on which their works could rely. Documentary evidence on the subject is limited: it suggests that the acquisition of Greek manuscripts was often realised as the marginal effect of diplomatic activity. However, the reports of exchanges between monarchs and their envoys likely represent only a fraction of the transfer process of Greek texts and books to the Latin world. The article surveys the available evidence regarding Latin translations of philosophical, theological, and scientific texts from Greek sources from the twelfth through the fourteenth century. Although our knowledge is often tentative and incomplete, the study of the translators' models is rewarding for the insight that they give into the availability of exceptional Greek manuscripts and rare texts in that period.
