Published: February 2023

Como parte de la estrategia de superación postgraduada del claustro de profesores de la Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas (UCI), en enero del 2012 se inició la primera edición de la Maestría en Educación a Distancia (MEaD), la que incluye en su programa general la asignatura Metodología de la Investigación Educacional (MIE). Su diseño, montaje e impartición se realizó a partir del Entorno Virtual de Aprendizaje (EVA) para el posgrado, soportado en la versión 1.9.12+ de Moodle. Los contenidos se agruparon en cinco unidades didácticas con sus respectivos recursos y actividades (orientaciones específicas del tema, carpetas para materiales de estudio, tareas y foros de aprendizaje). También se diseñó un espacio general (Tema 0) con orientaciones, documentos de la asignatura, bibliografía básica y complementaria, diálogo privado con el profesor y el foro de anuncios y novedades. Como resultado de la impartición de la asignatura se logró una amplia y variada interacción entre profesores y estudiantes, permitiendo un valioso intercambio de experiencias y propiciando un aprendizaje colaborativo significativo. De singular interés resultó la identificación de insuficiencias presentes en los diseños teórico-metodológicos de las investigaciones propuestas. Reflexionar sobre las mismas para su corrección y solución constituye el objetivo principal de nuestro trabajo. Finalmente, se propone una nueva forma de impartir la asignatura en la segunda edición del programa de la maestría.

Authors: Ribeiro Celina , Pereira Henrique
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Recognizing own’s emotions seems to have an important role regarding not only our overall well-being, but also our sexual functioning. Aims: The aim of this study is to analyze the association or impact of alexithymia on female sexual functioning. Methods: 459 Portuguese women, with a mean age of 34.57 years (SD = 10.27), ranging from 18 to 65 years, completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20), the Female Sexual Distress Scale – Revised (FSDS-R) and, additionally, completed the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), indicating if and when a sexual relationship occurred in the last month. Results: The results showed that higher levels of alexithymia were associated with worse sexual functioning and higher levels of sexual distress. Higher levels of sexual distress were associated with worse sexual functioning. It was possible to establish a significant linear regression model between dimensions of alexithymia (difficulties in identifying feelings and difficulties in describing feelings) and sexual distress in sexual functioning; the variables together explained about 45.2% of sexual functioning in these women. Conclusions: The results emphasize the relevance of alexithymia’s dimensions in sexual functioning concerning women with or without sexual dysfunction, since they present themselves as significant predictors. Professionals working in women's sexual health should take this into account for more effective assessment and intervention in matters concerning sexual health.

Published: February 2023

The aging process is a degenerative process that will have an impact on physical, cognitive, spiritual, and psychosocial changes. Changes that arise are psychological stressors in the elderly which result in psychological problems in the form of depression. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of laughter therapy on the level of depression in the elderly at Local Goverment Pesanggrahan Majapahit Mojokerto. The research design used was a pre-experimental design with a One-Group Pre-Post Test Design. The total population of elderly living in the orphanage is 30 people so a sample of 12 elderly people is obtained which is taken by purposive sampling. The independent variable is laughter therapy and the dependent variable is the level of depression in the elderly. Data were collected using a questionnaire used before and after laughter therapy. After all the data was collected, data processing was carried out and continued with the Wilcoxonsigntest statistical test with the help of SPSS, the results of the study showed an asymp.sig (2-tailed) value of 0.003 and α of 0.05. Because of the value of asymp.sig (2-tailed) < α 0.05, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, which means there is a difference in the decrease in the level of depression in the elderly after giving laughter therapy. In some elderly depression is a psychological problem that will affect their quality of life. The elderly often need psychological intervention to treat depression. Laughter therapy is an effective therapy because by giving laughter therapy the elderly can develop communication skills and increase intimacy in relationships with fellow elderly.

Authors: Fanelli Natalia S. , Torres-Mendoza Leidy J. , Abelilla Jerubella J. , Stein Hans H.
Published: February 2023

Objective: Oilseeds and nut co-products can be used as alternative feed ingredients in animal diets because they may have a lower cost than traditional ingredients. A study was, therefore, conducted to determine the chemical composition of copra, palm kernel, and nut coproducts from South-East Asia or Australia. The hypothesis that country of production influences nutritional composition was tested.Methods: Oilseed meals included 2 copra expellers, 3 copra meals, and 12 palm kernel expellers. One source of almond hulls and cashew nut meal were also used. Samples were obtained from suppliers located in South-East Asia or Australia. All samples were analyzed for dry matter, gross energy, nitrogen, amino acids (AA), acid-hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), ash, minerals, insoluble dietary fiber, and soluble dietary fiber. Copra and nut coproducts were also analyzed for total starch and sugars.Results: Copra expellers had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of dry matter and AEE compared with copra meal. However, copra meal had greater (p<0.05) concentrations of total dietary fiber (soluble and insoluble) and copper than copra expellers. Palm kernel expellers from Indonesia had greater (p<0.05) concentration of histidine and tyrosine compared with palm kernel expellers from Vietnam. Almond hulls was high in dietary fiber, but also contained free glucose and fructose, whereas cashew nut meal was high in AEE, but low in all free sugars.Conclusion: Copra expellers have greater concentration of AEE, but less concentration of total dietary fiber when compared with copra meal, and except for a few AA, no differences in nutrient composition of palm kernel expellers produced in Indonesia or Vietnam were detected. According to the chemical composition of nut co-products, cashew nut meal may be more suitable for non-ruminant diets than almond hulls.

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology
. Psoriasis is a condition that primarily affects the skin. However, it can also influence people's mental health, social activities, work, and relationships too. Current assessment tools used by doctors and nurses do not cover the complete experience of people with psoriasis, which often include other medical conditions and can leave these individuals feeling that treatment has not been successful. Researchers conducted a study in which people with psoriasis, doctors, and nurses were asked in virtual meetings and via questionnaires what freedom from disease in psoriasis means to them.

What were the results?

In addition to skin symptoms, the areas of mental health, well-being, treatment, and relationships with healthcare teams were found to be important aspects to be addressed.

What do the results of the study mean?

Focusing on all five aspects of freedom from disease will help people with psoriasis manage their psoriasis with confidence.

Published: February 2023

Recent research suggests that soybean yield could be doubled in Brazilian conditions, implying that the base fertilization is pivotal, as it might influence chemical and microbiological soil indicators and, hence, the crop grain yield. The current study had the goal of assessing alterations in the chemical and microbiological soil indicators, in the short term, as well as the soybean biometric and grain yield performance as a function of different fertilizers for base fertilization, in two sowing periods. An experiment comprised of two sowing periods was carried out in the 2019/2020 season on a dystrophic Red Latosol, in north Parana state. Five treatments were assessed, comprising: 1) control; 2) mineral fertilizer; 3) organomineral fertilizer; 4) mineral fertilizer mixed with granulated gypsum; and 5) slow release mineral fertilizer. A randomized block design with four replicates was adopted. The following variables were assessed: chemical and microbiological soil indicators; final stand; first pod insertion height; plant height; stem diameter; number of pods per plant; number of grains per plant; number of grains per pod; grain mass per plant; and one thousand grain mass and grain yield. There is no base fertilization effect on the chemical soil indicators in the short term, however, there is an effect on the microbiological soil indicators. Soybean biometric and grain yield performance is decreased with the delayed sowing period, regardless of the type of fertilizer utilized for base fertilization. Analyzing a set of soil quality indicators enables precise and judicious results to be gathered on management practices in the soil environment.

Published: February 2023

Harmonisation in accounting refers to either disclosure or measurement harmonisation where two financial reports are comparable in terms of one specific event, if under the same circumstances, this event is accounted for the same way in both reports. This study focuses on the actual reporting practices, i.e. disclosure harmonisation, rather than measurement harmonisation. Since one of the characteristics of public sector accounting among the local governments in Malaysia is lack of harmonisation in financial disclosure, therefore the objective of this study are to examine the extent of mandatory financial disclosure harmonisation of local governments in Peninsular Malaysia. Annual reports from 76 local governments in Peninsular Malaysia for the financial year ended 2008 were scrutinised. Each local government was rated based on the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Harmonisation Index (MFDHI) and scoring procedure. Seventy one items (divided into seven sections) were included in the MFDHI, and this requirement is in accordance with the Local Government Act 1971, FTC No. 4/2007 and FRS. The study shows that the level of mandatory financial disclosure harmonisation (MFDH) by local governments in Peninsular Malaysia is high, i.e. 79.62 percent. The result of this study supports the stewardship theory as it is able to explain the objective of a mandatory financial statement to provide useful information to assess management’s stewardship. This is reflective of the expected relationship between the public and the local governments in managing their resources efficiently and effectively so as to discharge their accountability through harmonised financial statements.

Authors: Abu Hasan Haslida , Saleh Zakiah , Isa Che Ruhana
Published: February 2023

Accrual accounting is believed to have power in enhancing financial accountability and providing better asset-liability management. Most developed countries that have successfully adopted accrual accounting exhibit that the change process has to be properly managed to ensure successful implementation of the new accounting system. One of the most critical factors for successful transitions towards accrual accounting is the commitment to change among the public sector accountants. This paper presents findings from a study on the perception of top management in ministries of Malaysian Government on its effort towards transforming governmental accounting system to full accrual in 2015. Interview surveys were conducted with the targeted respondents. Among the findings is evidence of strong support from the top management and organisational leadership. However, level of readiness and commitment across ministries varies. Key recommendations from the study includes active promotion of change programme to policy makers and senior officials, detail action plan for ministries, risk management as well as gap analysis on human capital and IT needs.

Authors: Taramasco Carla , Rimassa Carla , Acevedo Romo Johana , Césped Zavando Adolfo , Fuentes Bravo Rodrigo
Published: February 2023

In March 2020, the first version of EPIVIGILA was deployed in a productive environment a few days after the first local case of COVID- 19. This system is a technological integration plat-form for national epidemiological surveillance of notifiable diseases. Previously, Chile used a manual process that would probably have failed with a peak volume of more than 38 000 daily notifications; in a country with 18 million inhabitants, long and narrow geography, and centralized governance. This work highlights the importance of the national electronic surveillance system – EPIVIGILA – in managing the pandemic. The system’s main strength is its ability to adapt to the needs of reliable, precise, timely, and real- time information. EPIVIGILA was able to include, under the circumstances, different flows, actors, data, and functionalities with high expectations of accuracy. This valuable information allowed the authorities to assess the impact of the measures to manage and control the pandemic. Its versatility positions this platform among the few globally that operates national data with a high level of granularity in a single system through a pandemic. In Chile, EPIVIGILA is the primary source of information for daily reports, epidemiological reports, and data published on government websites about COVID- 19. Thus, electronic systems prove fundamental for public health because the recording and processing of data generate clear, reliable, and timely information, helping authorities make decisions to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, prevent deaths, and improve the population’s quality of life.
Distincția dintre falsificare și respingere în problema demarcației la Karl Popper
Authors:   Multimedia SRL, Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: February 2023

În ciuda criticilor teoriei falsificabilității propuse de Karl Popper pentru demarcarea între știință și ne-știință, în principal pseudoștiință, acest criteriu este încă foarte util, și perfect valabil după perfecționarea lui de către Popper și adepții lui. Mai mult, chiar și în versiunea sa inițială, considerată de Lakatos ca ”dogmatică”, Popper nu a afirmat că această metodologie este un criteriu absolut de demarcare: un singur contra-exemplu nu este suficient pentru a falsifica o teorie; mai mult, o teorie poate fi salvată în mod legitim de falsificare prin introducerea unei ipoteze auxiliare. În comparație cu teoria lui Kuhn a revoluțiilor, de care el însuși s-a dezis ulterior transformând-o într-o teorie a ”micro-revoluțiilor”, consider că metodologia de demarcare a lui Popper, împreună cu dezvoltarea ulterioară propusă de acesta, inclusiv coroborarea și verosimilitudinea, deși imperfectă, nu numai că este valabilă și azi, dar este încă cea mai bună metodologie de demarcare. Pentru argumentare, m-am folosit de principalele lucrări ale lui Popper care tratează această problemă, și a principalilor săi critici și susținători. După o scurtă prezentare a lui Karl Popper, și o introducere în problema demarcației și metodologia falsificabilității, trec în revistă principalele critici aduse și argumentele susținătorilor săi, accentuând pe ideea că Popper nu a pus niciodată semnul egalității între falsificare și respingere. În final prezint propriile concluziile în această problemă.
