Statins are considered the initial and first-line treatment in cardiovascular and atherosclerotic diseases, characterized by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase. Some adverse effects associated with these drugs are injuries to the tendon structure including tenosynovitis, tendon and tendon rupture. The aim of this article is to evaluate the tendon structure by musculoskeletal ultrasound and to raise the question of whether chronic statin consumption in this patient with dyslipidemia is related to the appearance of tendinopathies. Methodology A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out, focused on the evaluation of the incidence of tendinopathies in patients who have been using statins chronically. A case study approach was used, analysing in detail a female patient selected according to the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The sample consisted of a patient who met the inclusion criteria: age between 45-60 years, chronic use of statins for more than 12 months, presentation of symptoms suggestive of tendinopathy. Patients with a history of musculoskeletal diseases prior to the start of treatment were excluded, and anyone with arthritis, chronic septic inflammatory processes, athletes, young patients, and those who did not want to participate in the study and did not agree to give informed consent were excluded. For data collection, 7 patients were selected, of which 1 only met the inclusion and acceptance criteria for the study, a clinical history was taken with exhaustive clinical evaluations of the selected patients, focused on the identification of tendinopathy symptoms and other possible risk factors, at the end a musculoskeletal ultrasound was carried out where possible tendon injuries were identified and characterized. evaluating tendon structure and its relationship to statin use. This methodology provides a detailed and structured approach to conducting research on the incidence of tendinopathies associated with statin use. Results During the clinical evaluation of this patient, symptoms associated with tendinopathy of the long portion of the biceps brachii on the right side were identified. The results of the musculoskeletal ultrasound confirmed the alterations in the structure of the tendon, finding tenosynovitis, significant peritendinous effusion and microruptures of the long portion of the biceps brachii not only on the affected side, but also on the contralateral side, which was asymptomatic for tendon pathology. In addition, not only was the biceps tendon modified, micro ruptures in the supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursitis were observed. This patient had been taking atorvastatin 20mg every 24 hours in the mornings for 9 years and was not attributed with any mechanism of overuse injury that triggered multiple tendinopathies at the rotator cuff level.

Authors:   Lecturer at University of Sulaimani- College of Law, Mohammed Dr. Nishtiman Othman
Published: April 2024

Violence and discrimination against women often originate from entrenched traditions and tribal mentalities, relegating women to subordinate roles within families and society. In many social spheres, boys and men are granted dominance over women. This paper aims to fulfill another aspect of CEDAW’s requirements. CEDAW demands that States parties undertake necessary legal and policy measures to ensure women’s equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms. To achieve this goal, CEDAW draws attention to specific fields for State Parties to address. This paper involves conducting surveys to assess the policy measures taken by the Kurdistan Region as key steps toward eliminating violence against women in line with CEDAW requirements. Accordingly, this paper discusses and analyzes questionnaire findings, identifying inadequately addressed issues. It also highlights CEDAW Committee Recommendations, providing further support to the study's findings. By conducting these studies, I aim to contribute to existing knowledge on preventing violence against women in the Kurdistan Region. This research offers guidance to legal professionals and politicians interested in achieving gender equality and preventing violence.

HOW TRANSACTIONAL LEADERSHIP IMPACTS TACIT AND EXPLICIT KNOWLEDGE HIDING: THE ROLE OF PERCEIVED COMPETITION AND LEADER KNOWLEDGE HIDING
Authors: Zahoor Kanwal , Hameed Imran , John Albert , Qadeer Faisal
Published: April 2024

This study investigates the role of transactional leadership as a pivotal antecedent to employee knowledge hiding, specifically focusing on tacit and explicit forms. Drawing on social learning theory, the study proposes and examines the indirect effect of transactional leadership on both tacit and explicit knowledge hiding through the mediation of perceived competition. Additionally, the study introduces leader knowledge hiding as a potential boundary condition to these relationships. Data were collected from university employees in Pakistan using a time-lagged design. The study employed structural equation modeling, utilizing AMOS 23, to rigorously test the proposed hypotheses. The results reveal that transactional leadership significantly encourages tacit and explicit knowledge hiding, with perceived competition as the underlying mechanism. However, the hypothesized moderating effect of leader knowledge hiding is not supported. This study is a pioneering effort to understand the nuanced relationship between transactional leadership, perceived competition, and the distinct forms of knowledge hiding—tacit and explicit. Incorporating leader knowledge hiding as a potential boundary condition adds a unique dimension to the existing literature, contributing novel insights. Our findings hold implications for knowledge management and transactional leadership literature. Practitioners can glean valuable insights from the study's results to inform strategies to mitigate knowledge hiding behaviors within organizational settings.

Plants have nutritional properties and beneficial effects on health, so fortifying dairy foods with plants from the Ecuadorian Amazon could produce dairy products with high nutritional values and unique aromas and flavors. This study characterized the physicochemical, sensory, and microbiological properties of fresh cheese made from the Amazonian plants: wild garlic (Mansoa alliacea; (Lam.) A.H.Gentr) and culantro (Eryngium foetidum L.). Cheeses were made with both species (dry sample and ethanolic extract) at 5 % and 25 % under a completely randomized experimental design with a 23 factorial arrangement, with three replications and 24 experimental units. The physicochemical properties established in the NTE INEN 1528 Standard (moisture, ash, dry matter, protein, fat, pH, acidity, lactose content, lactic acid, and chloride) were determined in the cheeses. Sensory analysis was performed with an untrained panel. Microbiological quality was assessed in the cheese selected in the preference test, according to the NTE INEN 1528 Standard. The treatments affected ash content (3.20 %), pH (5.95), moisture (55.28 %), total solids (42.20 %), and protein (20.84 %). The cheeses QF7 (dry extract of culantro, 5 %) and QF3 (dry extract of wild garlic, 5 %) presented the highest median acceptance, corresponding to "I like it very much", with QF7 getting the highest acceptance (71 %). The fresh cheese presented high protein, fat, and calcium content, as well as adequate microbiological quality, which characterizes it as a caloric and nutritional food.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism of action of Opuntia dillenii polysaccharides (ODPs) in protecting against cadmium-induced liver injury from the perspectives of network pharmacology and oxidative stress pathway. Using network pharmacology methods, we analyzed the interactions between ODPs and target molecules, and predicted potential mechanisms of action. Additionally, we focused on the oxidative stress pathway, which plays a crucial role in cadmium-induced liver injury. The results showed that the active components of ODPs were glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, rhamnose, fucose, glucose, galactose, mannose, fructose, xylose and arabinose in order. According to the analysis of PPI network and the “compound - liver injury target-pathway” network, 69 ODPs anti-cadmium-induced liver injury targets were selected, including AKT1, CASP3, MAPK8, JAK2, MAPK14, IL2, MMP9, IGF1R, NOS2, etc. Enrichment analysis showed that the main signaling pathways involved were VEGF signaling pathway, cancer signaling pathway, PI3K-AKT signaling pathway, Rap1 signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, chemokine signaling pathway, sphingolipid signaling pathway, toll-like receptor signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Network pharmacological analysis showed that cactus polysaccharide could significantly reduce the level of Caspase-3 and MMP-9 in liver, increase the level of IL-2, and effectively inhibit the occurrence of liver cell apoptosis and inflammation caused by cadmium. Studies on the mechanism of action based on traditional oxidative stress indexes show that ODPs has good antioxidant capacity, can significantly inhibit the activity of SOD and GSH-PX caused by cadmium, reduce the content of lipid peroxidation product MDA, and restore the content of antioxidant enzymes in liver to normal level. This study can provide a scientific basis for the in-depth development and application of ODPs, and also provide a potential scientific and technological basis for the development of drugs or health food for the treatment of cadmium-induced liver injury.

Objetivo: Se presenta un análisis sobre la identidad organizacional y el rol ocupacional de los y las gendarmes pertenecientes al Centro de Detención Preventiva Santiago Sur desde el concepto de “trabajo sucio” y una perspectiva de género. Metodología: Se realizaron diez entrevistas semiestructuradas a gendarmes —cinco gendarmes hombres y cinco gendarmes mujeres— en cuanto a su rol e identidad organizacional, ocupacional, profesional y personal. Resultados: Se verificaron diferencias de género en cuanto a la configuración de sus identidades personales y ocupacionales, situación que no es replicada en el plano de sus identidades organizacionales y profesionales, que tienden a compartir. Conclusiones: Existen diferencias significativas en la forma en la que los y las gendarmes desarrollan su identidad personal, y que radican principalmente en la relevancia que atribuyen a los roles e identidades asociadas con la vida familiar. En cuanto a las restantes dimensiones identitarias, se identificaron importantes similitudes en cuanto a valores y creencias que los sujetos expresan y vivencian; estas parecen vincularse a prácticas y a una cultura tradicional y conservadora institucional en materia de género. Alcance: La investigación es de carácter exploratorio y busca aportar antecedentes empíricos sobre los cuales basar futuras investigaciones en este campo.

Published: April 2024

El comercio ilegal de armas de fuego representa un problema significativo para mantener el orden y la seguridad del país, pues conlleva la adquisición de armas y municiones sin cumplir la normatividad y las regulaciones proporcionadas por el Estado, desviando la utilización de dichos equipos hacia la delincuencia. La investigación tiene como propósito analizar la dinámica del comercio ilegal de armas de fuego en Lima, Perú, mediante una metodología cualitativa y de diseño fenomenológico hermenéutico. La muestra incluye veinte funcionarios de la Policía Nacional del Perú (PNP) y la Superintendencia Nacional de Control de Servicios de Seguridad, Armas, Municiones y Explosivos de Uso Civil (Sucamec). La información se recolectó por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas. El estudio concluye que el comercio ilegal de armas de fuego se estructura en tres fases clave: la primera fase determinada por la filtración o desvío de armas del mercado legal al ilegal, debido a la falta de control y fiscalización por las autoridades pertinentes. La segunda fase implica la creación de un mercado ilegal en espacios itinerantes, donde participan diversos actores, como intermediarios y compradores. La tercera y última fase comprende la consumación del delito, incluye la entrega del arma y el pago bajo estrictas medidas de seguridad para asegurar la impunidad de los involucrados.

Introducción: En los contextos del conflicto armado convergen actividades que potencialmente pueden producir toxicidad por metales pesados; inclusive, muchas víctimas de artefactos explosivos improvisados portan esquirlas residuales interiorizadas, de composición y potencial toxicidad desconocidas. Ello ha sido poco estudiado. Objetivo: Describir los niveles biológicos de plomo y mercurio en civiles supervivientes de la masacre de Bojayá, su eventual exposición actual, así como signos y síntomas compatibles con toxicidad crónica. Metodología: Estudio observacional descriptivo, tipo serie con 13 casos. Resultados: El 38.46 % de los casos tuvo niveles de plomo en sangre superiores o cercanos al valor límite superior, sin fuentes específicas identificadas. Un 46.15 % tuvo niveles mercuriales superiores o cercanos al límite de referencia, y se los considera exposición ambiental por minería aurífera regional. La valoración clínica toxicológica mostró síntomas y signos clínicos potencialmente asociados con toxicidad crónica por metales. Conclusión: Hubo presencia de residuos de artefactos explosivos en personas con hallazgos sugestivos de toxicidad por plomo o mercurio, sin que pueda afirmarse una relación directa y específica entre los dos aspectos; algunos casos sugieren exposición ambiental para mercurio, y exposición a proyectiles para el plomo, relacionadas con dinámicas del conflicto armado. Son necesarios estudios adicionales para afirmar la existencia de asociaciones causales.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las característicassociodemográficas, metodológicas y diagnósticas de los informes periciales en psiquiatría y psicología realizados en el Centro de Estudios en Derecho y Salud entre 2011 y 2020. Se optó por un enfoque cuantitativo, descriptivo con intención analítica, transversal, con diseño retrospectivo. Se analizó la información obtenida en 145 peritajes. Se adelantó un análisis univariado para todas las variables sociodemográficas, metodológicas y diagnósticas de los informes periciales, según su naturaleza cualitativa o cuantitativa, y un análisis bivariado a través de tablas de contingencia para las variables mencionadas, con intervalos de confianza del 95 % para cada una de las medidas de prevalencia. Se encontró que la mayoría de peritajes fueron solicitados por el área del derecho contencioso-administrativo. Los diagnósticos más prevalentes fueron el trastorno adaptativo, el trastorno por estrés postraumático y el trastorno depresivo. Si bien los informes revisados cumplen con los lineamientos mínimos de ley, se encontraron algunas falencias relacionadas con la ausencia de información. Se espera que estos hallazgos permitan la reflexión por parte de los auxiliares de la justicia sobre los requerimientos de los informes periciales con miras a la humanización de la justicia y el apoyo a la toma de decisiones legales.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue describir las características de las mujeres privadas de libertad (MPL) de un centro de detención carcelario de la región Caribe de Colombia, a partir de un método cuantitativo, descriptivo, transversal, mediante el uso de unidades de análisis documental de una muestra de 202 archivos psicojurídicos de mujeres privadas de libertad, durante los años 2021 y 2022. En estos archivos se encuentran 25 variables divididas en tres grupos. Primer grupo: características sociodemográficas de la población; segundo grupo: datos históricos, relativos a antecedentes familiares y de salud mental; tercer grupo: aspectos relacionados con la conducta delictiva. De acuerdo con los resultados encontrados, la mayor parte de la población son madres, con escaso acceso a oportunidades laborales, bajo nivel de escolaridad, con precarios ingresos económicos, antecedentes de victimización psicológica, sexual o física, exposición a violencia indirecta, antecedentes de abandono y, en algunos casos, se identificó la presencia de diagnósticos en salud mental, consumo de sustancias, comorbilidad y experiencias traumáticas durante su infancia y adolescencia y la prisionalización de padres o familiares. Estos resultados permiten reconocer la importancia de los aspectos históricos y los antecedentes de la conducta delictiva femenina, lo cual resulta fundamental en la prevención de la criminalidad, haciendo frente a los factores de riesgo previos a la conducta delictiva femenina; igualmente, la relevancia del fortalecimiento de un modelo carcelario de cara a las características y necesidades de la población femenina, una política criminal y un sistema penitenciario de género sensitivo, así como la incorporación de los resultados encontrados en el tratamiento carcelario, en la resocialización y en la prevención del fenómeno criminal.

Published: April 2024

El crecimiento del número de organizaciones criminales y su complejidad, en la variedad conceptual, las implicancias teóricas y sus desafíos empíricos, han dificultado a los investigadores la generación de suficientes teorías, estudios de causas y escalas que permitan una categorización y explicación de sus fenómenos. La caracterización de estas organizaciones y el abordaje de su definición resultan complejos tanto por la diversidad de sus impactos sociales como por lo frondoso de las áreas temáticas que la abordan. Este estudio muestra las tendencias de investigación y estudio de las organizaciones criminales mediante la realización de una revisión sistemática de literatura de los años 2022 y 2023, utilizando el método PRISMA y explorando las tendencias actuales en la investigación académica y producción bibliográfica sobre el tema.
El juez de control de garantías y la reserva judicial en actuaciones que no requieren autorización previa según la Ley 906 de 2004

Published: April 2024

En el desarrollo de la indagación e investigación del proceso penal previsto en la Ley 906 de 2004 se crearon medios de prueba que afectan derechos fundamentales como la libertad, la vida, el buen nombre, la entidad, la propiedad privada, la libre locomoción, entre otros. La aplicación de tales medios puede ser ordenada por la Fiscalía General de la Nación sin control legal previo de un juez de control de garantías. Así, esta investigación parte del interrogante: ¿Debería ser necesario el control previo del juez de garantías en los actos de indagación e investigación previstos en la Ley 906 de 2004? El presente artículo dará una respuesta clara y contundente, utilizando un método jurídico-cualitativo de interpretación mediante el cual se estudiará y reconocerá la necesidad del control previo del juez en actos como los del libro II (técnicas de indagación e investigación de la prueba y sistema probatorio), título I (la indagación y la investigación). Además, se analizará y justificará la necesidad de la intervención del juez para medios como el allanamiento y registro, la retención de correspondencia, la interceptación de comunicaciones, la recuperación de información dejada al navegar por internet u otros medios tecnológicos similares, la vigilancia y seguimiento de personas, la vigilancia de cosas, los agentes encubiertos y la entrega vigilada e incautación de bienes con fines de comiso. Esto porque en la gran mayoría de esas actuaciones, en la práctica judicial de los procesos penales, se evidencian excesos e incluso ilegalidades de la Policía Judicial y la Fiscalía. Para ello se estudiarán el principio de reserva judicial y el nuevo concepto de juez en el proceso penal, tal y como es entendido por la ONU: una garantía procesal para ponderar los derechos confrontados. Se tendrá en cuenta, en ese sentido, que en el modelo de Estado constitucional colombiano la limitación o restricción de garantías fundamentales debe ser proporcional y razonable frente al fin de la investigación. De igual forma se propone, en el ámbito legislativo, la modificación y creación de un capítulo único de actuaciones que requieran autorización judicial para su realización por parte de la Fiscalía General de la Nación.

The present study investigated the capacity to detect fake news of Social Studies students and if there is a significant relationship between the respondents’ sex, year level, age as well as their utilization of online platforms. This study was conducted only at Notre Dame of Midsayap College, specifically among the BSED Social Studies students during the second semester of the Academic Year 2022-2023. The method used in this study was causal-comparative and correlational research designs with a stratified random sampling technique. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire with 34 randomly selected respondents. Despite the results, the data gathered showed that the respondents have a high capacity to detect fake news because they always check the legitimacy of the article before believing the news, compare the news with those of the more trusted sources, look for evidence that will support the claim of the new, among others. The findings of this study showed that age has a weak direct or positive relationship to the capacity to detect fake news, and that relationship is not significant; that year level has a moderately direct solid or positive relationship to the capacity to detect fake news, and that relationship is highly significant. There is no significant difference in the capacity to detect fake news according to sex. Furthermore, the utilization of online platforms also has no significant relationship with the capacity to detect fake news from the respondents. Finally, there is a very weak inverse or negative relationship between the capacity to detect fake news and the utilization of online platforms.

This research further explores the relationship between endorsement for the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) and its connection to the green behavior of Generation Z (Gen Z). Sociodemo graphic characteristics are assumed as 5yn antecedent variables influencing the correlation between ecological awareness and green behavior of Gen Z. This study involved 396 Gen Z individuals from various study programs, comprising 55.6% males and the rest females. The study used the NEP scale to measure the ecological awareness of participants. Researchers distributed questionnaires to students at a state university through Google Form facilities. From the computational results, 61.5% of Gen Z had a favorable view of statements on the NEP scale, although 19.9% tended to oppose statements on the NEP scale. Meanwhile, 53.7% of students behaved in an environmentally friendly manner compared to 22.7% of students who did not favor such behavior. This research found a significant relationship between the variables of residential area and age group with students’ ecological awareness. However, no meaningful relationship was found between sociodemographic characteristics and environmentally friendly behavior in Gen Z. Based on the NEP scale constructs, there was no significant relationship between Anti-anthropocentrism and the Fragility of natural balance constructs with green behavior of Gen Z. The results of this study imply that Gen-Z has not fully internalized ecological awareness inherent in the NEP scale.

Penelitian ini diharapkan sebagai sumbangan perkembangan ilmu dalam pemanfaatan sumber belajar dalam proses pembelajaran, dan menambah referensi bacaan dan sebagai bahan pertimbangan dalam strategi pengembangan pembelajaran, baik kualitas maupun kuantitas, serta sebagai sumbangan pemikiran bagi peneliti yang akan melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut. Adapun lokasi penelitian ini dilakukan pada sekolah SMK Negeri 5 Kerinci yang beralamat di Desa Belui Kecamatan Depati Tujuh Kabupaten Kerinci, Jambi. Teknik Analisis Data melalui Uji Normalitas, Uji Regresi Linear Sederhana, Koefisien Determinasi, dan Uji Hipotesis. Hasil penelitian dari data uji normalitas pada variable sumber belajar (X) dan variable hasil belajar (Y) dengan nilai sig. 0,200 dan 0,200. Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan data ini mempunyai arti bahwa nilai sig. lebih besar dari 0,05. Jadi data pada setiab varibel dapat dikatakan berdistribusi normal. Berdasarkan uji regresi linier sederhana, dapat dijelaskan bahwa konstanta (a) 60,240 dan koefisien regresi X sebesar 0,224. Nilai konstanta sebesar 60,240 dapat dikatakan bahwa nilai konstanta tersebut merupakan nilai dari varibel hasil belajar, dengan nilai regresi X sebesar 0,224, dengan demikian penambahan 1% dari nilai sumber belajar maka hasil belajar akuntansi pada siswa akan bertambah sebesar 0,224 dengan pertimbangan varibel lain yang tidak diteliti. Berdasarkan hasil koefisiensi determinasi, diperoleh bahwa nilai korelasi (R) dari varibel sumber belajar (X) dan hasil belajar (Y) adalah sebesar 0,484 dan nilai R- Square sebesar 0,234. Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa nilai ini mempunyai arti hasil belajar dapat dipengaruhi oleh sumber belajar dengan tingkat persentase sebesar 23,4% (0,234 x 100%) dan sisanya 76,6% ditentukan oleh variabel yang lain yang tidak diteliti dalam penelitian ini (diluar dari variabel peneliti). Dari uji hipotesis dapat disimpulkan ada pengaruh antara variabel (X) sumber belajar terhadap varibel (Y) hasil belajar akuntansi siswa dengan taraf signifikansi sebesar 95% dengan nilai sig <0,05.
