Published: January 2025

La poca información sobre ecología e historia natural de la rana de cristal Sachatamia albomaculata y la presencia de una población accesible en la Reserva Hídrica Cerro Turega, un área protegida con una rica biodiversidad en la provincia de Coclé, Panamá, motivó la realización de este estudio. Se realizó 10 giras de campo entre mayo y octubre de 2021, delimitando un área de muestreo lineal sobre una quebrada, dividida en tres transectos de 50 m. Se registró 79 individuos, divididos en 71 machos y ocho hembras. La mayor abundancia se observó en mayo y junio, disminuyendo aproximadamente a la mitad en julio y agosto. En octubre, no se registró actividad. Los machos mostraron un comportamiento territorial y de pelea, vocalizando desde rocas, ramas y hojas sobre el agua. La frecuencia del canto aumentó con la competencia. Los combates incluyeron saltos y forcejeos sobre las hojas. El cortejo incluyó cantos del macho para atraer a la hembra, seguidos de un amplexo axilar y la posterior oviposición. Se registró cuatro amplexos, la mayoría sobre hojas de la vegetación cercana al agua. La mayoría de las masas de huevos fueron puestas en plantas del género Casearia (Familia Salicaceae). La altura y distancia horizontal de las puestas al agua varió entre 25-162 cm y 10-152 cm, respectivamente. La preferencia por Casearia para la oviposición es un nuevo registro, siendo S. albomaculata la segunda especie conocida en usar plantas de la familia Piperaceae.
Phenotypic effects on male risk-taking behavior in Leptuca beebei from field experiments at Playa El Agallito, Chitre, Panama
Authors: Lombardo Roberto
Published: January 2025

Risk-taking behavior in Leptuca beebei was studied through field experiments conducted at Playa El Agallito, Chitré, Panama. This study aimed to determine whether larger males or those with pillar structures take greater risks when courting females and whether female size affects male risk-taking behavior. Females exhibiting mate-searching behavior were tethered 30 cm in front of randomly selected courting males, both with and without pillars. Male behavior was observed using binoculars, recording the maximum distance traveled from their burrow and whether they intercepted the female. Results indicate that male size and pillar presence did not significantly affect the distance traveled or the likelihood of intercepting the tethered female. Males traveled an average of 18.8 cm from their burrows, but this distance was not influenced by female size. Instead, males' risk-taking behavior may have been influenced by factors such as predation risk and potential burrow loss, rather than female size. The findings suggest that the dangers of leaving their burrows outweigh the benefits of courting distant or larger females. Thus, their behavior is influenced more by ecological risks and reproductive costs than by the characteristics of potential mates.

La incidencia del cáncer gástrico ha disminuido en las últimas décadas; aun así, se ha informado una tendencia estable o ligeramente creciente en adultos jóvenes. Traemos el caso de un paciente masculino de 24 años de edad quien es referido a nuestro centro en contexto de dispepsia funcional y pérdida de peso con tratamiento sintomático sin mejoría. Se realiza ultrasonido abdominal donde se evidencia pared gástrica engrosada realizando gastroscopia la cual concluye CG Bormann IV cuyo estudio anatomopatológico reporta Adenocarcinoma poco diferenciado, tipo difuso con células en anillo de sello. Motivo por el cual se efectúa tomografía de tórax abdomen y pelvis evidenciándose imágenes sugestivas de metástasis mesentérica. Durante su evolución clínica en     vista de que el paciente persistir con dolor abdominal y aumento de su intensidad se realiza neurólisis del plexo celiaco, con mejoría del dolor, sin embargo, tras inicio de quimioterapias el paciente fallece. El CG en pacientes jóvenes constituye una entidad poco frecuente. La mayoría de estos se encuentran en estadios avanzados en el momento diagnóstico. Por eso, la gastroscopia en pacientes con síntomas dispépticos que no mejoran con el tratamiento convencional puede favorecer un diagnóstico precoz que permita un tratamiento con intención curativa y una mejora de la supervivencia.ESCUCHE EL RESUMEN HANCIENDO CLIC EN EL IDIOMA DE SU PREFERENCIA:EspañolEnglishPortugues

Digital marketing has become an essential strategy for influencing consumer purchasing decisions in the digital era. Technological and internet advancements have transformed how companies interact with consumers, enabling wider reach through platforms like social media, websites, and e-commerce. Besides enhancing brand awareness, digital marketing influences consumer preferences and behavior by offering personalized and tailored experiences. This study examines the impact of price, social media usage, and location on consumer buying interest on the Shopee platform. Using a quantitative method, data were collected through electronic questionnaires from 100 respondents and analyzed using SmartPLS with multiple linear regression. The results reveal that price significantly and positively influences buying interest (coefficient: 0.503, t-statistic: 6.234, P-value: 0.000). Social media usage, however, shows a positive but insignificant effect (coefficient: 0.138, t-statistic: 1.404, P-value: 0.164). Location also demonstrates a significant positive effect on purchase intention (coefficient: 0.316, t-statistic: 3.634, P-value: 0.000). The study concludes that price and location are critical factors in shaping consumer purchasing decisions on e-commerce platforms, particularly in the post-pandemic context. These findings underscore the importance of competitive pricing and convenient delivery as key drivers of purchase intention, providing valuable insights for businesses to refine their marketing strategies and adapt to evolving consumer preferences.

Cooperatives (Koperasi) as a nature of business culture based on the concept of Indonesian society of mutual 'gotong royong' presence is still needed for the recent and imminent. Basic rules governing the cooperatives created during more than 10 years ago, although its execu1ive regulations made after much until now. The concept of law as the basis of the Cooperative Law of 1992 has much to be updated if the Indonesia cooperative as one of the enterprises is still expected to compete with other business entities in Indonesia and the international sphere. Some description has been offered in this article, shows that still so many things that are conceptually still need more studies in considering the existence of Act No.25 of 1992 on Cooperatives has lasted for about 18 years. Although government has issued implementing regulations and implementation of various rules, but as long as the basic provisions of the Law has not been a4justed to the wishes of the changes in the economy generally and the provisions of the particular business entity, the cooperative movement as a business entity is still insuffiCient and its existence cannot be thought to stand in line with other business entities either in Indonesia or, international community.
ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsep hukum koperasi modern bagi koperasi sebagai organisasi perusahaan berstatus badan hukum sempurna. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian hukum normatif serta menggunakan pendekatan secara perundang-undangan (statue approach) dan pendekatan secara analisis (analytical approach). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa koperasi sebagai salah satu hakikat budaya usaha yang berlandaskan konsep masyarakat Indonesia yang saling gotong royong keberadaannya masih diperlukan untuk saat ini dan yang akan datang. Peraturan dasar yang mengatur tentang koperasi dibuat selama lebih dari 10 tahun yang lalu, meskipun peraturan pelaksananya dibuat setelah jauh sampai sekarang. Konsep hukum sebagai dasar UU Koperasi 1992 banyak yang harus diperbarui jika koperasi Indonesia sebagai salah satu badan usaha masih diharapkan mampu bersaing dengan badan usaha lain di Indonesia dan dunia internasional. Beberapa uraian yang telah dikemukakan dalam artikel ini, menunjukkan bahwa masih banyak hal yang secara konseptual masih memerlukan kajian lebih lanjut mengingat keberadaan UU No.25 Tahun 1992 tentang Perkoperasian telah berlangsung selama kurang lebih 18 tahun. Walaupun pemerintah telah mengeluarkan peraturan pelaksanaan dan pelaksanaan berbagai aturan, namun selama ketentuan-ketentuan pokok Undang-Undang tersebut belum disesuaikan dengan keinginan perubahan perekonomian pada umumnya dan ketentuan badan usaha tertentu, maka gerakan koperasi sebagai suatu badan usaha masih belum memadai dan keberadaannya belum dapat dikatakan sejajar dengan badan usaha lain baik di Indonesia maupun dunia internasional.

Authors: Tarigan Abul A'la , Anita Tiara  , Pane Mustika Dewi
Published: January 2025

The quality of life for people who suffer from low back pain (LBP) is significantly reduced, making it a major worldwide health concern. Patients with LBP frequently have comorbid diseases like hypertension and hyperlipidemia, which can exacerbate pain and make therapy more difficult. The purpose of this study is to examine the connection between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP in patients who visit the RSUDZA Banda Aceh Neurology Outpatient Clinic. In this study, 237 LBP patients from the Neurology Outpatient Clinic at RSUDZA were selected using a cross-sectional methodology between 12 April  to May 2023. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the Modified Self-Administered Comorbidity Questionnaire (MSACQ) were used to gather data. The association between comorbidities and the incidence of LBP was examined using the chi-square test. The most prevalent comorbid conditions among the 237 responders were hypertension and hyperlipidemia, with 161 people (67.9%) having comorbidities. Mild pain was experienced by 87.8% of patients. Comorbid conditions had a substantial impact on the severity of pain in patients with LBP, according to the chi-square test, which revealed a strong correlation between comorbidities and the occurrence of LBP (p-value = 0.000). This study suggests a strong correlation between comorbidities and LBP incidence. In relation to LBP, hypertension and hyperlipidemia are the most prevalent comorbidities. To enhance treatment results and patients' quality of life, a comprehensive strategy to managing LBP is required, taking into account both the pain and any concomitant conditions.

СТРОИТЕЛЬСТВО ЖИЛЫХ ВЫСОТОК В МЕГАПОЛИСАХ: СИТУАЦИЯ ТРЕБУЕТ КАРДИНАЛЬНЫХ РЕШЕНИЙ
Authors: Uporov I.V.
Published: January 2025

Во всех российских мегаполисах-миллионниках и во многих других крупных города идет активное строительство жилья. Эта тенденция сама по себе имеет позитивный характер. Однако, как показывает практика, при этом имеют место разного рода нарушения, связанные, в частности, с несоответствием генеральным планам развития городских территорий, расстояниями между высокоэтажными многоквартирными домами, отсутствием необходимой для жилищных комплексов инфраструктуры (детских садов, общеобразовательных школ, поликлиник, спортивных, скверов и т.д.). В результате возникают территории со множеством многоквартирных домов, где, как правило, небольшие дворы и в целом нет комфортных условий проживания, соответствующих современным требованиям. В статье рассматриваются такого рода проблемы с приведением конкретных примеров. Отмечается, в частности, что ситуация осложняется непростой экономической ситуацией в стране в ряде регионов страны, в результате чего имеет место активная внутренняя миграция граждан, переезжающих из отдаленных районов в города, расположенные в основном в европейской части, что создает повышенный спрос на жилье в многоквартирных домах, чем и пользуются застройщики. В этом контексте не всегда должный профессионализм проявляют органы местного самоуправления, в ведении которых находится жилищное строительство в городах. Обосновываются некоторые меры, направленные на улучшение ситуация в данной сфере общественных отношений.

Severe pelvic pain was reported by 33.1%, and 53.2% experienced abnormal menstruation. Vaginal discharge was noted in 56.1%, of which 52.5% was foul-smelling. Ultrasonography revealed an average endometrium thickness of 10.47 mm, with hydrosalpinx present in 54.7% of cases. Uterine echogenicity was homogeneous in 51.1% and heterogeneous in 48.9%, correlating with marital status. Weak, statistically insignificant correlations were found between age, marital status, and endometrium thickness.
Conclusion: This study proved that ultrasound is an efficient and inexpensive modality of imaging in establishing the relation between PID and its complications.

This paper investigates the design and performance analysis of a helical gear-pinion system intended for a reducer gearbox, which operates at a pinion speed of 1800 rpm and a power supply of 5 hp under moderate shock conditions for 8 to 10 hours daily. Using carbon steel (SAE 3150) for both parts, the study runs mathematical modelling to assess critical parameters and then designs it through SolidWorks integrated with GearTrax. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) conducted in ANSYS assesses the mechanical behavior under load, revealing a maximum deformation of 1.4672×10-2 mm, maximum directional deformation (X-axis) of 1.2994×10-2 mm, maximum equivalent (von Mises) stress of 125.79 MPa, and maximum principal stress of 138.99 MPa, all within acceptable limits for the material. The findings indicate that the gear-pinion system can operate reliably without premature failure. This research contributes to understanding gear design and performance, providing a foundation for future studies on material optimization and real-world operational conditions.

Teacher professional development (TPD) is an opportunity for teachers to enhance their professional competencies and the quality of their teaching. To date, little research has been conducted on what characterizes quality of teaching-learning processes in TPD. Theoretically, it can be argued that a constructive climate and cognitive activation of participants are two significant dimensions of process quality. The perceived process quality is likely related to the appearance of the facilitator and the utilization by participants. This study investigates these relationships between the characteristics of process quality in TPD, the appearance of facilitators, and the utilization by participants. For this purpose, teachers participating in a TPD program were surveyed. The results indicate that the participants' perceived appearance of the facilitators is positively related to the cognitive activation of the participants and to the constructive climate. The influence of the subject-related competence of the facilitators on the participants' use of the TPD content is fully mediated by cognitive activation, while a supportive and motivating facilitator only has a direct influence on use.
