Published: September 2024

The purpose of this research was to study the factors that determine the expenditure of Lao tourist on Luang Prabang tourism during the epidemic situation of COVID-19. It was developed on a model based on Engel's law and applied Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA) to analyze the data to forecast tourist spending based on their personal attributes. The results showed that certain personal characteristics of tourists influenced what Lao tourists spent on tourism in Luang Prabang at a significant level of 0.01, with the highest spending on Luang Prabang tourism. This was found to be a tourist who earns more than of 601 USD per month or more, are male, aged 40 years and over, married, and from Vientiane Capital. They have an education level of a Bachelor's degree or higher, have a private business career, and traveling to Luang Prabang for the 5th time or more and will spend about than 150.49 USD per person per day on Luang Prabang tourism. Therefore, tourists with such characteristics are a marketing target that concerned parties must prioritize in marketing.

A temática deste texto é relativa à prova de Redação do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem). Teve-se como objetivo identificar quais as percepções e dificuldades relacionadas à produção de um texto dissertativo/argumentativo para o Enem que os alunos relatam ter. Fez-se uso de uma pesquisa-ação e em complemento uma observação participante para a realização desta investigação. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram dois questionários (Questionários Inicial e Final), no formato Google Forms, aplicados a 12 alunos da 2ª e 3ª Séries do Ensino Médio do Colégio Estadual Mariquita Costa, município de Morrinhos, Goiás. Após a aplicação do primeiro questionário, sobre a percepção e as dificuldades, elaborou-se dois Aulões de Redação, os quais foram ministrados a esses mesmos participantes. Depois disso, aplicou-se o segundo questionário para a avaliação dos Aulões. Encontrou-se que os estudantes, em sua maioria, não dominam os conceitos básicos sobre as produções dissertativo/argumentativas e sentem insegurança quanto a sua preparação para a Prova de Redação do Enem. Conclui-se que seja possível, por meio de aula mais dinâmicas e focadas nas necessidades dos estudantes, colocar em prática, nas aulas de redação das escolas, propostas que conduzam nos alunos maior interesse e proporcionem maiores habilidades para produções textuais nesta área.

With advancements in aesthetic technologies, the demand for treatments that promote healthy aging and mitigate the effects of natural aging has significantly increased. Microfocused ultrasound stands out as one of the most effective and well-documented technologies in this context. Technological evolution has introduced the MP mode of application, which, with higher-speed pulses, reduces patient discomfort during treatment. Traditionally, the MP mode is mainly associated with facial fat reduction, promoting a slimming effect but without the promise of a lifting effect. This descriptive observational study, based on the analysis of a clinical case, aimed to evaluate not only facial slimming but also the existence of a lifting effect resulting from the application of microfocused ultrasound in MP mode. The patient, JML, aged 42, underwent treatment with this technology, and the facial changes were thoroughly evaluated using the 3D Vectra H2 software, which allows for precise and scientifically validated stereophotogrammetric analysis. Measurements taken before and after the treatment demonstrated, in addition to the expected reduction in facial fat, a surprising lifting effect with the micropulsed mode, highlighting the relevance of this study for clinical practice.

Managing innovation as communicative processes: a case of subsea technology R&D
Authors: Aasen T. M. B. , Johannessen S.
Published: September 2024

Exploration of the communicative nature of innovation processes and the impact of this on innovation management has largely been ignored in innovation research. This paper suggests that the adoption of a complex responsive processes perspective opens up for insight and implications that depart from the prevailing view of what it means to manage joint efforts for innovation in business organizations. A key contribution is the suggestion that a change of perspective on organizations from conceptions of 'whole' to notions of joint human interaction implies a need to increase management attention to the detail of local interaction between people striving to construct meaning out of new and ongoing themes, for the company and for them. We base our claims on an empirical example, drawn on a longitudinal research initiative conducted in cooperation with the Norwegian petroleum company Statoil.
A neuroanatomical approach to exploring organizational performance
Authors: Gillingwater D. , Gillingwater T. H.
Published: September 2024

Insights gained from studying the human brain have begun to open up promising new areas of research in the behavioural and social sciences. Neuroscience-based principles have been incorporated into areas such as business management, economics and marketing, leading to the development of artificial neural networks, neuroeconomics, neuromarketing and, most recently, organizational cognitive neuroscience. Similarly, the brain has been used as a powerful metaphor for thinking about and analysing the nature of organizations. However, no existing approach to organizational analysis has taken advantage of contemporary neuroanatomical principles, thereby missing the opportunity to translate core neuroanatomical knowledge into other, non-related areas of research. In this essentially conceptual paper, we propose several ways in which neuroanatomical approaches could be used to enhance organizational theory, practice and research. We suggest that truly interdisciplinary and collaborative research between neuroanatomists and organizational analysts is likely to provide novel approaches to exploring and improving organizational performance.

Impact of Dietary Fiber on Soft Drinks with Varied Sweeteners
Authors: Salazar Llorente Enrique José , Cobos Mora Fernando Javier , Viteri García Iván Patricio , Bucaram Lara Genesis del Rocío
Published: September 2024

In the present work, the characteristics of the effect of dietary fiber in two types of soft drinks were compared,
considering beverages with low and high sucrose content, using a 22 experiment design for the independent
variables amount of dietary fiber and sucrose content. The dependent variable was the percentage of soluble
solids, and experimental runs were carried out to establish the stability of the product during the process. The
design mentioned above determined significant differences in physicochemical parameters, such as increased
fiber percentage and sucrose amount in final brix degrees. Samples of the Beverage were taken during processing and evaluated over time to establish the behavior of soluble solids, density, and the amount of fiber
during the pasteurization process, which was determined at 85ºC for 120 seconds. The behavior of the unpasteurized soft drink was also studied at refrigeration temperature for one day in samples with sucrose and
partially substituted with sucralose, enriched with dietary fiber and without its addition, to evaluate and analyze if the thermal effect determines a significant difference in the quality of the finished product. The laboratory analyses were based on a quantitative, enzymatic-gravimetric analysis of dietary fiber and soluble solids.
The best option was chosen considering the best variety of soft drinks with low sucrose content and enriched
with dietary fiber, increasing the beverage's nutritional value. This selection was implemented in a soft drink
factory, and the procedure was standardized at the industrial level. The development of this research contributed to technological improvements reflected in the product's final price, minimizing costs and highlighting
that with a minimum investment, it is competitive. The results of the tests performed on the carbonated beverage to determine the response variables were statistically analyzed using STATGRAPHICS software. The
triplicate results of each trial were initially evaluated for significant differences attributable to the treatments,
and the validity of the data was verified by analysis of their distributions, considering a relative error of less
than 10%. Finally, current computer programs automatically calculate the p-value, and for the interpretation
of the various results, this calculated value is compared with a pre-established confidence level, which generally is 95%.

Conservation of paramo birds in Ecuador in the face of climate change: on the need for a detailed classification of high-altitude habitats
Authors: Tellkamp Markus P. , Herrera Henry J.
Published: September 2024

When we think of "the paramo," most of us think of waves of grass moving in the wind. However, our concept
of paramo is limited by the lack of prehistoric data on what this ecosystem would have been like without human
activity. Throughout the Holocene, humans have been part of the Andean landscape, shaping it through fire and
by hunting important herbivores, such as deer and cottontails. Pollen records are scant due to glaciers having
scraped high Andean lakes and peatlands off the landscape. What we find today at high altitudes is not "one
paramo" but "several types of paramo" that are likely the result of various intensities of human activity. The
different vegetation forms we see today are habitats for various birds within the ecosystem. The classification of
vegetation for the Ecuadorian Andes by Sierra 1 recognizes several high Andean plant assemblages, yet these do
not accurately describe the diversity of plant communities vis-à-vis avian habitats.
For instance, the Antisana paramo is composed of a mixture of plant formations not recognized in previous
classifications 2 that birds depend on for at least one life stage.

Published: September 2024

Canton Chillanes is a territory vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic risks. For this reason, institutional
intervention is critical to meet the population's needs. However, the reality is different since the territory under
study does not have the assistance of the local Risk Management Unit (UGR) despite its vulnerability. In this
context, the study's objective is to know the institutional reality regarding the process under study and the
population's perception of disaster risks. For this purpose, descriptive, documentary, and field research were
conducted to determine a representative sample of the population under study and analyze information provided by those involved in Risk Management of the Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD) of Chillanes. The results show that almost 100% of those surveyed indicate no adequate risk management and that at
least 80% are unaware of the territory's vulnerability to adverse events. Despite this background, the municipal
entity's RGU has not been strengthened, becoming one of the leading institutional weaknesses.

Regulatory T cells: Genetic modifications and impact on disease treatment
Authors: Sevilla Carrasco Jaime David , Terán Villegas María Belén , Rodríguez Cazar Geomara Lizeth
Published: September 2024

Regulatory T cells, also known as Tregs, play a significant role in the immune system since they control cells
such as mast cells, basophils, and eosinophils. For this reason, it is necessary to understand the activation
mechanisms of Tregs, such as inhibitory cytosines, cytolysis, metabolic alteration, and dendritic cells. Due to
Tregs's functions and scientific advances in genetic engineering, the manipulation of these cells has been
achieved. In this sense, gene transfer using Lenti-/Retro Virus has been using transposases and reprogrammable nuclease systems. However, it is crucial to consider that genetic engineering has helped generate Tregs
and increase their specificity, which contributes considerably to treating diseases, thanks to using chimeric
antigens and transgenic T cells (CAR and TCR, respectively). Therefore, the classification of regulatory T
cells is given according to their origin, as is the case of shy Tregs, which develop in the thymus, and conventional T cells, which are induced in vivo. Finally, it is essential to consider that these Tregs are being used in
stage I/II clinical trials to obtain precise results on their safety, viability, and efficacy.

Preliminary study on intraocular abnormalities found in senior dogs by ultrasonography in a veterinary hospital in Guayaquil, Ecuador
Authors: López-Colom Paola , Maridueña-Zavala María Isabel
Published: September 2024

Research on ophthalmology in veterinary medicine in Ecuador is scarce, and ocular health in older dogs should
be studied. This study aimed to determine the incidence of ophthalmic abnormalities in senior dogs attending
a hospital at Guayaquil and relate them to the type of lesion, breed, sex, age, and type of dog head shape. One
hundred healthy senior dogs (> six years old) who underwent consultation during the study were subjected to
bilateral eye ultrasonography (USG 10-MHz transducer) and examined for ocular alterations. Breed, sex, age,
and head shape were also recorded. Thirty-eight animals presented with ocular abnormalities: presumed cataracts (19%), crystalline luxation (6%), presumed senile retinal degeneration (6%), retinal detachment (4%),
nuclear sclerosis (4%), masses and vitreous degeneration (3%), presumed glaucoma (2%), and cysts in the
anterior and posterior chambers (1%), mainly as bilateral lesions (24%). Cataracts were present in a more
significant proportion in dolichocephalic dogs (8/18) than in brachycephalic (3/22) and mesocephalic dogs
(8/60) (p =0.01). In addition, older animals were more affected, both unilaterally and bilaterally, and in both
locations (lens or retina)(p <0.05), whereas crystalline luxation and senile retinal degeneration were significantly associated with age(p <0.05), whereas trends were observed for cataracts (p =0.065). Although ultrasound alone does not allow a definitive diagnosis, these preliminary results provide insights into the ocular
abnormalities in apparently healthy senior dogs from Guayaquil (Ecuador). Unsuspected intraocular lesions
might be relatively high in these patients; however, more extensive studies with complete ocular examination
are recommended to confirm these results.

Published: September 2024

Sappinia is a free-living amoeba, a single-celled living organism found in the environment. It has recently
been attributed to being an opportunistic human pathogen. There are two known species of Sappinia: S. diploidea and S. pedata. The current study detected Sappinia species using morphological and genetic approaches
in various environmental and clinical samples in the Thi-Qar province of southern Iraq. The study was conducted from February - September 2020; one hundred and two samples for this study were obtained from
various environmental and clinical sources. PCR was carried out with a positive culture after the samples were
cultivated on an NN-agar medium. Overall, the study showed that 53(51.96%) samples were positive on
morphological characters as well as PCR analysis showed that only 47 (46.07%) ) of Sappinia morphologically positive samples were positive by using a specific primer. Sappinia spp. were observed in all types of
samples of environmental and clinical sources except CSF, and clinical ear samples were negative. The current
study showed two species of Sappinia that have similar morphology but differ in the diameter of trophozoite
and cyst, number of nuclei, and cyst morphology. The current study will pave the way for additional epidemiological research by considering the presence of potential Sappinia species in various samples, whether from
environmental or clinical sources, to better understand the function of Sappinia as a potential health danger to
people.

Kota Yogyakarta menyandang berbagai julukan antara lain Kota Pelajar, Kota Budaya, dan Kota Wisata. Sebagai kota wisata, kota Yogyakarta memilihi banyak destinasi wisata, yaitu malioboro, Keraton Yogyakarta, Taman Sari, dan lain-lain. Dengan adanya teknologi yang sangat berkembang saat ini, wisatawan menginginkan tujuan wisata yang lebih bervariasi dan memiliki nilai budaya lokal. Tim peneliti melihat adanya potensi lain di Kota Yogyakarta yang dapat dikembangkan. Peneliti melihat adanya daya tarik pada pasar tradisional menjadi salah satu destinasi wisata di Yogyakarta. Pasar tradisional memiliki daya tarik wisata yang bernilai sosial dengan adanya interaksi sosial antara pembeli dan penjual secara langsung. Namun, permasalahan yang terjadi adalah wisatawan belum mengetahui daya tarik tersebut. Oleh karena itu dalam penelitian ini, peneliti membangun infrastuktur yang menggunakan teknologi tersebut untuk menyebarkan daya tarik pasar ke masyarakat luas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membuat sebuah aplikasi website dengan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) yang akan memetakan pasar tradisional di Yogyakarta yang berisi informasi umum setiap pasar dan visualisasi denah pasar. Untuk denah pasar akan difokuskan di Pasar Beringharjo. Aplikasi dibangun dengan menggunakan metodologi agile, yaitu metode Incremental/Iterative. Karena proses pengumpulan data dan kebutuhan yang tidak pasti, dengan metode tersebut akan dapat membuat aplikasi secara bertahap sampai dengan aplikasi yang utuh. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah aplikasi yang menjadi jembatan antara wisatawan dengan pedagang pasar dengan memberikan wisatawan informasi yang cukup tentang pasar tradisional di Yogyakarta sehingga dapat mengangkat kesejahteraan masyarakat pasar tradisional.
GAMBARAN PENGETAHUAN PENYAKIT TIDAK MENULAR (PTM) DAN SIKAP PEMANFAATAN POSYANDU LANSIA PADA TOKOH MASYARAKAT SERTA KADER KESEHATAN LANSIA DI KELURAHAN WIROBRAJAN YOGYAKARTA

ABSTRAK
Penyakit tidak menular (PTM) masih menjadi permasalahan kesehatan di Indonesia. Berdasarkan data 3 dekade terakhir menunjukkan peningkatan kasus PTM sebesar 69% dari 39% pada tahun 2017, berupa penyakit stroke, ischemic haert disease, dan diabetes melitus. Prevalensi kejadian PTM masih cukup tinggi pada populasi lansia. Adanya Posyandu Lansia menjadi salah satu upaya dalam pendampingan dan monitoring kesehatan lansia. Namun demikian pelaksanaan posyandu lansia masih belum bisa secara berkala dan monoton pada beberapa wilayah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh pada pelaksanaan posyandu lansia, mengetahui gambarab pengetahuan tokoh masyarakat maupun kader kesehatan terkait PTM, serta sikap pemanfaatan posyandu lansia di area Wirobrajan Yogyakarta.
Penelitian menggunakan mix metode yaitu kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Pendekatan kualitatif melalui FGD (Forum Group Discussion) bersama tokoh masyarakat dan kader posyandu lansia untuk menggali faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh pada pelaksanaan posyandu lansia. Adapun pendekatan kuantitatif dilakukan dengan wawancara kuisioner terkait pengetahuan PTM dan Sikap pemanfaatan posyandu lansia pada tokoh masyarakat maupun kader kesehatan. Penelitian melibatkan sejumlah 35 responden baik tokoh masyarakat atau kader kesehatan yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Rekrutmen berdasarkan informed consent. Pengambilan data wawancara menggunakan kuisioner yang telah dilakukan uji validasi. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji deskriptif untuk menggambarkan variabel pengetahuan serta sikap.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berpengaruh adalah kurangnya perkaderan pada anggota posyandu lansia, partisipasi lansia laki-laki yang masih rendah, variasi materi dalam isian posyandu lansia masih monoton. Adapun gambaran pengetahuan PTM pada kader kesehatan menunjukkan skor lebih tinggi (27,38) dibandingkan tokoh masyarakat (26,64). Sedangkan skor rerata pemanfaatan posyandu pada tokoh masyakarat adalah 48,55 dan kader kesehatan menunjukkan skor 48,50.
Kesimpulan yang dapat diambil mayoritas tokoh masyarakat maupun kader kesehatan lansia memiliki tingkat partisipasi yang baik dalam pemanfaatan posyandu lansia, serta pengetahuan yang cukup baik terkait PTM. Namun demikian beberapa hambatan dalam pelaksanaan posyandu lansia perlu dievaluasi untuk kontinuitas kegiatan.

Authors: Mukhtar Nasir
Published: September 2024

Feed additives are the products used in animal diets for the purpose of improving the quality of feed and the quality of food from animal origin or to improve animal performance and health. The present study was planned to evaluate the beneficial effect of two edible dried mushrooms, probiotics, antioxidant and antibiotic on layer performance, cellular immunity, and antioxidant activities under hot climatic conditions. In this trial, three hundred W-98 commercial hens of 35th week of age were randomly assigned to six dietary treatments, replicated five times with 10 hens per replicate for 12 weeks. Dietary treatments were as follows; antibiotic (enramycin) 50g/ 50 kg, probiotics 50g/ 50 kg, antioxidant (ethoxyquine) 60 ppm, organic acid 50g / 50 kg; Oyster mushroom and button mushroom 1% of feed bag. The data revealed that initial, final body weight, egg production (%) and feed intake, egg specific gravity, egg shape index, egg yolk index and shell thickness and livability were non-significant (p<0.05) in all treatments. Egg weight, feed to egg mass ration, Haugh unit and damaged eggs were significantly (p>0.05) higher among different treatment groups. Total anti-oxidative capacity was significantly (p>0.05) higher in ethoxyquine, followed by oyster mushroom, button mushroom, negative control (without any feed additives), probiotics and enramycin (positive control / antibiotic). Antioxidant parameters like super oxide dismutase was significantly (p>0.05) higher in ethoxyquine followed by probiotics, oyster mushroom, button mushroom, negative control, and positive control treatments groups. Immunity parameters like catalase (interferon gamma) was non-significant (p>0.05) in all treatment’s groups. IFN-γ (Interferon-gamma) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in oyster mushroom and ethoxyquine followed by probiotics, button mushroom, negative control (without any feed additives) and positive control (with antibiotic). IL-10 (Interleukin-10) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in button mushroom, oyster mushroom and probiotics followed by ethoxyquine, negative control (without any feed additives) and positive control (with antibiotic). On whole mushrooms are effective feed additives in poultry production IFN-γ (Interferon-gamma) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in oyster mushroom and ethoxyquine followed by probiotics, button mushroom, negative control (without any feed additives) and positive control (with antibiotic). IL-10 (Interleukin-10) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in button mushroom, oyster mushroom and probiotics followed by ethoxyquine, negative control (without any feed additives) and positive control (with antibiotic). On whole mushrooms are effective feed additives in poultry production

Published: September 2024

INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer de esôfago é uma neoplasia com alta taxa de mortalidade, frequentemente associada ao tabagismo, consumo excessivo de álcool e dieta inadequada. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo com dados do DATASUS, abrangendo o período de 2019 a 2024. RESULTADOS: Foram diagnosticados 609 casos de câncer de esôfago no Rio Grande do Norte, com predominância no sexo masculino. Entre os pacientes, 136 foram estadiados no estágio 3 e 56 no estágio 4, enquanto 151 não tiveram estadiamento registrado. Os tratamentos incluíram cirurgia em 151 casos, quimioterapia em 181 e radioterapia em 117, com 148 pacientes não recebendo tratamento. A maioria dos pacientes foi internada por mais de 60 dias. Óbitos foram mais comuns em pacientes acima de 60 anos. O câncer de esôfago, frequentemente assintomático em seus estágios iniciais, tende a ter um prognóstico desfavorável.

Objetivo: Revisar e integrar as descobertas mais recentes sobre o diagnóstico e tratamento da cardiomiopatia hipertrófica (CMH), com foco em avanços tecnológicos e terapias personalizadas. Metodologia: Foi realizada uma revisão narrativa abrangente na base de dados PubMed, utilizando termos relacionados à CMH. Foram identificados 198 artigos, dos quais 9 foram selecionados para análise detalhada com base em critérios de inclusão, como relevância, atualidade e qualidade dos dados. A análise dos estudos focou em avanços diagnósticos, terapêuticos e na estratificação de risco. Resultados: A revisão identificou avanços significativos no diagnóstico da CMH, como o uso da ressonância magnética cardíaca (CMR) e análises genéticas, que permitem uma estratificação de risco mais precisa. Inovações terapêuticas, incluindo o mavacamten, um inibidor de miosina, e intervenções invasivas, como miectomia septal e ablação por álcool, melhoraram significativamente os desfechos clínicos, reduzindo a mortalidade e melhorando a capacidade funcional dos pacientes. Considerações Finais: Os avanços em diagnósticos e terapias personalizadas transformaram o manejo da CMH, permitindo abordagens mais eficazes e individualizadas. No entanto, estudos adicionais são necessários para otimizar essas estratégias, especialmente em grupos de alto risco, como mulheres grávidas e indivíduos com predisposição genética.

O objetivo deste estudo é descrever os fatores que podem supor incapacidade de trabalho em pacientes que sofreram Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM).  trata-se de uma revisão narrativa de caráter crítico e analítico, na  pesquisa  sobre  os principais conceitos e dados dos preditores que impossibilitam a volta ao trabalho após um infarto agudo do miocárdio. Foi  realizada  uma  revisão  de  artigos  nas  bases  de  dados   Scientific  Electronic  Library  Online (SciELO) e PubMed, com os seguintes Descritores em Ciências  da  Saúde  (DeCS): Incapacidade; Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio; Saúde. Uma alta proporção de pacientes retoma suas atividades laborais um ano após um IAM. Observou-se que as mulheres têm maior propensão para reduzir ou cessar suas atividades laborais, enquanto os homens tendem a manter seu nível de trabalho. A idade mais jovem é um fator significativo associado ao retorno ao trabalho após o evento. A redução das atividades laborais foi fortemente correlacionada com uma deterioração na função cardíaca, enquanto a interrupção do trabalho esteve associada à presença de comorbidades.
