The Art of Not Stopping: Grit Among the Breadwinner Senior Citizens in Pilar, Bataan
Authors: Villazor Jayvie
Published: October 2024

Approximately fifty percent of elderly individuals in the Philippines are currently employed. A significant number of them are exposed to health hazards and have a low socioeconomic level despite having worked for a considerable number of years. The current study aims to provide a detailed account and analysis of the core essence of the experience of breadwinner senior citizens as they strive to maintain their grit for numerous years. The findings revealed four themes, or 4K of grit, namely: keep on, keep at, keep up, and keep growing. Each theme generated subthemes that further elaborated on the experiences of breadwinner senior citizens. Keep on is divided into five subthemes: familial’s sake, financial autonomy, fortitude in the past, and founding leisure. Keep at is divided into two themes, namely the personification of aging and perceived hardships. Meanwhile, the keep-up had four subthemes: guarding the mind, being God-centered, getting support, and having greater focus in the body. Lastly, the keep growing is composed of two themes the steadfastness in work and senescence’s’ joy. While the participants have shown resilience in the face of several challenges, it is strongly recommended that local government agencies improve and closely supervise the current program and activities aimed at addressing the financial difficulties as well as the physical and mental difficulties of the breadwinner senior citizens. More so, the said research will add additional fund of knowledge in the field of gerontology and psychology in the Philippines.

Harnessing Innovation: Exploring the Impact of Market Orientation and Firm Resources on Performance in West Sumatra's Event and Party Services
Authors: Sari Chintia Wulan , Yeni Yulia Hendri , Pujani Vera
Published: October 2024

Marriage holds a sacred significance in Minangkabau culture, representing the pinnacle of the life cycle, where customs transcend mere entertainment to embody profound philosophical and cultural values. Despite the substantial opportunities for party service businesses in West Sumatra, the performance of firms in this sector often falls short of expectations. Observations reveal recurring issues, including vendor delays and dissatisfaction with service quality in areas such as decoration, photography, videography, and catering. These problems are primarily attributed to inadequate resource management and poor strategic decision-making. This study employs explanatory research with a quantitative approach, utilizing hypothesis testing to examine the relationships among market orientation, firm resources, innovation, and firm performance. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire instrument were confirmed to ensure accurate data analysis. The findings demonstrate that, within the context of party service businesses in West Sumatra, both market orientation and firm resources significantly impact innovation and firm performance directly; however, innovation does not serve as an effective mediator in this relationship.

Las propiedades fisicoquímicas de los disolventes utilizados en cromatografía de capa fina (TLC) son cruciales para determinar el orden de elución de analitos. Este estudio, cuyo objetivo fue justificar el comportamiento de la velocidad de migración (Vm) de los alcoholes (C1-C5) en cromatografía de capa fina de gel de sílice utilizando teorías de la química clásica y cuántica, se llevó a cabo con minuciosidad y precisión. Se investigó meticulosamente la relación entre Vm (cm/min), momento dipolar (µ) y coeficiente de transferencia de electrones (CTE) de los alcoholes. Su configuración espacial se determinó con un modelo semiempírico SE-PM3 en un simulador Hyperchem, calculando las variables HOMO-LUMO, brecha de banda, potencial electrónico, CTE. Los resultados, que revelaron que Vm y µ disminuyeron con el aumento del número de carbonos de los alcoholes, fueron consistentes con las teorías clásicas y cuánticas. El análisis de RMN mostró que el protón H+ más reactivo es el del grupo hidroxilo. En conclusión, este estudio proporciona una comprensión integral de la transferencia de electrones en alcoholes C1-C5, tal como lo explican las teorías clásicas y cuánticas, y su dependencia de su composición, estructura y configuración espacial, infundiendo confianza en el campo de la química analítica y la cromatografía.

Authors: Villamayor Hernández Sandra Ivet , Ramos González Blanca Lilia , Macías Murguía Gilberto
Published: October 2024

Los objetivos de esta investigación son explicar cómo la carga académica es determinante en la toma de decisiones de los alumnos provocando que se den de baja en las materias que comprometen su currícula académica, además de identificar las causas determinadas por la figura del profesor como uno de los agentes que conlleva a las bajas temporales en los alumnos de la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco. Para esto, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa con el método hipotético deductivo, utilizando una encuesta aplicada a 100 estudiantes universitarios la cual fue desarrollada a través de la medición de la escala likert. Los resultados indican que el profesor es el principal factor para que el  alumno quiera dar de baja a distintas materias, al igual que la carga académica y la identidad y forma de enseñar de este. Por esta razón, se necesita una mayor autoridad en los centros escolares, lograr una identidad propia y capacidad para adaptarse al tipo de alumnos que reciben y no provocar la baja en las materias, de igual forma se deben de mejorar los contenidos que se plantean para las clases y fortalecer las bases de la relación y comunicación del maestro y el alumno.

Authors: Martín de Jesús Cortés Becerra , Christian Israel Huerta Solano , Cruz Sara Gutiérrez , Camila del Carmen Cortés Becerra , Godínez González Carlos Fernando
Published: October 2024

La Educación Formal ha sido diseñada para normalidad, en la que estudiantes y profesores deben cumplir con características físicas, económicas y funcionales dejando fuera personas que no cumplen con tales estándares, lo que propicia que las persona con discapacidad sean excluidas. De Acuerdo con diversos autores, dicha exclusión, se relaciona, con las actitudes negativas por parte de los miembros de la comunidad educativa, por lo que identificar dichas actitudes permite evidenciar las barreras para la Inclusión Educativa de las Personas con Discapacidad. Sin embargo la mayoría de los trabajos publicados se pueden consultar en lengua inglesa , lo que limita el acceso a personas hispano hablantes, considerando que alrededor de 600 millones de personas en el mundo hablan español, por tanto el objetivo de la presente investigación es realizar una revisión sistemática sobre las Actitudes ante la Discapacidad en la Educación Formal en español: para esto, se hizo uso de una metodología documental, con un diseño de acumulación de datos y selección de estudios científicos, presentando un total de nueve trabajos, los cuales reportan de manera general que las actitudes hacia la discapacidad en la educación formal son positivas, no obstante, se señalan discrepancias en los resultados de los trabajos.

Authors: Realpe Narváez Guillermo Alfredo , León Urquijo Ana Patricia
Published: October 2024

Este artículo es parte de una tesis doctoral que reinterpreta el legítimo sentido de la evaluación, cuyo objetivo es determinar la incidencia de un programa educativo de evaluación que cambia las actitudes de latentes a actuantes cuando un grupo de profesores en formación, pasa de la evaluación-medición técnica estandarizada del aprendizaje del estudiante, hacia la evaluación para los aprehendizajes de desarrollo humano de los estudiantes y del profesor. El enfoque de investigación es cuantitativo, de alcance descriptivo y diseño transversal. El primer grupo de profesores en formación corresponde al experimental (A) y el segundo grupo al de control (B). El grupo A participa en el programa educativo sobre la evaluación para los aprehendizajes, el grupo B no. Existe diferencia significativa en el grupo A puesto que la comparación entre las actitudes latentes y actuantes, la significativa bilateral es menor α = ,05, tanto en la percepción como en la proyección de la evaluación formativa para los aprehendizajes durante la práctica pedagógica; mientras el grupo B no cambia, la escala de actitudes actuantes revela su permanencia en la medición técnica estandarizada.

Published: October 2024

La agricultura urbana en torres hidropónicas artesanales constituye una alternativa al aumento de las demandas de producción de alimento y a la necesidad de reducir las distancias de transporte de alimentos. Con el objetivo de evaluar la productividad de la alfalfa (Medicago sativa) en torres hidropónicas artesanales, se midió la supervivencia, el crecimiento, la producción de biomasa y el efecto de la incidencia de luz de un material comercial de alfalfa en dos torres construidas para este efecto. El estudio tuvo una duración de 10 semanas. El crecimiento se midió semanalmente y el peso al final del estudio. Para evaluar el efecto de la incidencia de la luz sobre el crecimiento, las torres se dividieron en estrato superior y estrato inferior. La supervivencia fue de 97%. Las tallas medias finales fueron 40.6 cm en el estrato superior y de 29.8 cm en el inferior. Las tallas medias fueron diferentes (p < .001) a partir de la segunda semana. El peso medio final por planta fue 12.55 g en el estrato superior y 5.35 g en el inferior. A pesar de que hubo diferencias en las tallas de las plantas, no hubo diferencia en los pesos medios entre ambos estratos (U = 212, p = 0.754). La producción de biomasa total en ambas torres fue de 358 g, equivalente a 1.33 kg/m2, o 13.25 t ha-1. De los resultados se deduce que es factible la producción de alfalfa en torres hidropónicas artesanales. Los valores de productividad podrían aumentar si se colocan las torres hidropónicas en sitios con incidencia plena de luz.

La fibrilación auricular (FA) es la arritmia cardíaca sostenida más común, caracterizada por una activación eléctrica caótica en las aurículas, que puede provocar una respuesta ventricular irregular y la formación de coágulos, lo que aumenta el riesgo de accidentes cerebrovasculares. Se clasifica en subtipos según la duración y características, siendo la FA paroxística una de ellas, que presenta episodios intermitentes de corta duración. La prevalencia de FA ha aumentado, afectando a millones de personas en todo el mundo, sobre todo a mayores de 80 años. El tratamiento incluye anticoagulación para prevenir tromboembolismos y, en casos avanzados, ablación por catéter para aislar venas clave. Se han introducido nuevos anticoagulantes orales que son tan efectivos como los antagonistas de la vitamina K, y el manejo se centra en controlar el ritmo cardíaco y reducir los factores de riesgo asociados (hipertensión, diabetes, apnea del sueño, etc.). Estudios recientes han mostrado buenos resultados con la ablación por radiofrecuencia y el uso de fármacos como dronedarona para reducir la recurrencia de FA, aunque se necesitan más investigaciones para confirmar su eficacia a largo plazo. El objetivo del presente artículo es hacer una revisión de la literatura puesta al día sobre la fibrilación auricular paroxística

Green Intellectual capital strengthens the effect of Audit Tenure on the integrated report but busy directors do not strengthen the effect of Audit Tenure on the integrated report
Air Quality Prediction in Urban Environment Using IoT Sensor Data
Authors: Sanjay Suryawanshi Nikhil
Published: October 2024

The increasing concern for environmental health has led to a heightened need for accurate air quality monitoring and prediction. This study presents a framework for predicting the Air Quality Index (AQI) using existing datasets rather than relying on real-time data from IoT sensors. The proposed system incorporates various machine learning algorithms, including Linear Regression, Neural Networks, and XGBoost, to analyze the relationships between air pollution indicators and AQI values. The methodology encompasses essential steps such as data preprocessing, normalization, and dividing the dataset into training and testing sets. Although the system has not yet been implemented, preliminary analyses indicate that the use of these models has the potential to yield reliable AQI predictions, which can significantly assist policymakers and public health officials in implementing effective air quality management strategies.

Authors: Jaman Shawon Ashadu , Singh Oishi , Sarkar Tasrina , Ahmed Sadnan Kazi Faiz
Published: October 2024

Plant diseases represent a serious threat to national productivity and global food security. Effective therapy for multiple diseases requires a precise and useful differentiation of them. In this work, a computerized system for the identification and categorization of diseases in potato and maize crops is developed using convolutional neural networks. The demonstration was created with the ResNet50V2 model and tested on a combined collection of images of leaves. The system achieved an astounding accuracy of 85.19. Enhancing model execution through exchange learning, fine-tuning, and information augmentation were all part of the process. With the use of another dataset, the trained model was verified and produced positive results, almost exactly differentiating between the disease-causing leaf type (potato or maize). This technology helps ranchers adopt sustainable and knowledgeable disease management methods by promoting timely mediations, which in turn advances disease discovery.

Published: October 2024

The study was conducted in Ngoma 22 irrigation scheme located in Remera and Rurenge sectors of Ngoma District in Eastern Province of Rwanda between November 2018 and January 2019. It was recommended by RAB Board of Directors. The methodology used encompasses the study area, sampling procedures, data collection and analysis tools. The main data collection tool used was FGD which targeted site agronomists and household head farmers producing rice, fruits and vegetables as high value crops in the scheme area. Through pair wise ranking technique most profitable cash crops in the scheme were ranked as follows: (1) tree tomato, (2) maracuja, (3) egg plants, (4) water melon, (5) tomato, (6) irish potatoes, (7) french beans, (8) onions, (9) carrots, (10) cabbages, (11) beetroots. From this point of views, findings from the study show only two most profitable crops: maracuja with 696 Frw/kg followed by tree tomato with Frw 249 Frw/kg. The third ranked cash crop being Irish potato (with a loss of -40 Frw/kg), the fourth is egg plant with a loss of- 177 Frw. The existing paddy rice production has shown a loss of – 270 Frw inspite the water availability all the year-round. Maize and bush bean show respectively losses of -543 Frw/kg and -1743 Frw. Hence it is understandable why farmers in the scheme area have already abandoned maize and beans cultivation. Findings show also water fees (20,000 Frw/season) determined based on maintenance costs and farmers income. For capacity building model, more than one thousand beneficiary farmers in Ngoma 22 Irrigation Scheme need strong farmer organisation for ownership of the scheme and increased profitability. To that effect, they need continued capacity building as stated in the tripartite IMTA: administrative and financial management, record keeping, and conflicts resolution management, integrated water management, operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructures, best agricultural practices for sustainable farmers’ organisations and commercial farming. Key recommendations include fixing minimum prices for agricultural products in relation to costs of production- or setting subsidy prices, increase yield for each crop by meeting all requirements: lime, fertilisers and improvement of irrigation technologies in order to reach automatically increased yield. Farmers should continue to leave out traditional crops and adopt profitable cash crops identified in this study (e.g maracuja and tree tomato). They should also increase the ownership spirit through IWUA and cooperatives performance. They should adopt collective marketing of their products and pay water fees per season.

Accessing the Trail, Interpreting the Forest
Authors: Johnson Jordan Lea
Published: October 2024

The Stephen F. Austin Experimental Forest is the site of the first ADA-compliant US Forest Service project in Texas. Offering information about the history of forest management alongside information on Pineywoods ecosystems, the interpretive trail raises questions about how access is framed across “natural” and “built” environments as well as how distinctions between nature and culture operate within US environmental imaginaries. This article draws on feminist, posthumanist, and disability studies to conduct a close reading of the interpretive trail as text. It tracks the trail’s approach to disability access as well as its presentation of forest ecology, analyzing how the ableist logic of capitalist commodification underwrites the management of multispecies actants in the woods. I read against the grain of the trail in search of feminist, crip, posthumanist configurations of interdependence and more fluid human–nature boundaries. I argue that cripping the Austin requires questioning the unevenness of disability access as well as the utilitarian ideas of nature presented on the trail while also imagining how we might access and relate to this postindustrial forest otherwise.

Blazars, the peculiar class of active galactic nuclei, are known to show flux variations across the accessible electromagnetic spectrum. Though they have been studied extensively for their flux variability characteristics across wavelengths, information on their ultraviolet (UV) flux variations on timescales of hours is very limited. Here, we present the first UV flux variability study on intraday timescales of a sample of ten blazars comprising two flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and eight BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs). These objects, spanning a redshift (z) range of 0.034 ≤ z ≤ 1.003, were observed in the far-UV (1300−1800 Å) and near-UV (2000−3000 Å) wavebands using the ultraviolet imaging telescope on board AstroSat. UV flux variations on timescales of hours were detected in nine sources out of the observed ten blazars. The spectral variability analysis showed a bluer-when-brighter trend with no difference in the UV spectral variability behavior between the studied sample of FSRQs and BL Lacs. The observed UV flux and spectral variability in our sample of both FSRQs and BL Lacs revealed that the observed UV emission in them is dominated by jet synchrotron process.
A proposal for a common currency based on resources of the Alliance of Sahel States. Theoretical and practical issues
Authors: Nenovsky Nikolay , Bondi Gildas
Published: October 2024

On 6 July 2024 in Niamey, the leaders of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger signed the constitutive act of the Confederation of Sahel States, at the same time confirming the departure of these three countries from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The new Confederation of the Sahel States has decided, among other things, to set up an investment bank and a stabilisation fund. It is therefore plausible that the confederation will soon adopt a common currency. This issue is of utmost importance for many countries so it is worthwhile to see how the proposed new currency will be guaranteed by the natural resources of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES). The aim of this article is to examine the theoretical foundations and practical aspects underlying the creation of a common currency based on natural resources within the AES.

Background: Case reports are especially important in paediatrics, and CARE (CAse REport) guidelines help in standardizing the reporting in case reports.

Objectives: To examine the actual use of CARE guidelines in journals in the field of paediatrics.

Methods: Journals that publish case reports were selected from the databases of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC; Science Citation Index Expanded, or SCIE; and Emerging Sources Citation Index, or ESCI). All journals that publish case reports and mention CARE guidelines were included, and the ranking (quartiles) of those journals was also recorded. From all the journals in paediatrics that mention CARE in their instructions for authors, 5% of all the open-access case reports were selected (limited to 10 reports from any one journal), and every 10th case report was included in the analysis. The reports published between 2013 and 2023 were further analysed for their compliance with the 13-item CARE checklist.

Results: Of 184 journals in the field of paediatrics category included in the WoSCC, 130 (71%) were indexed in the SCIE and 54 (29%) in the ESCI; 161 (87%) publish case reports; and 121 (65%) mention CARE guidelines in their instructions for authors. However, they differ in applying CARE guidelines (P = .001), and more journals included in the ESCI mention CARE guidelines than do those included in the SCIE. During 2013–2023, a total of 22,989 case reports were published in the 121 journals that mention CARE guidelines. Of the total, 6733 (29%) were open access. Our final sample comprised 326 (5%) open access case reports that were open access, of which 240 (74%) were in the journals included in the SCIE and 86 (26%) in the ESCI. On aver-age, these reports were given a score of 8.5 (SD 1.97; range, 2–13) out of the maximum possible score of 13. The highest compliance was observed for the informed consent item (99%), while the lowest compliance was found for the keywords item (22%).

Conclusion: It is important for journals to ensure that during writing and editing, the case reports they publish adhere to CARE guidelines so as to eliminate biased reporting and improve their quality.
Two new species of the treehopper genus Enchenopa Amyot & Serville, 1843 (Hemiptera, Membracidae) from northwest Ecuador
Authors: Rueda-Rodríguez María P. , Montalvo-Salazar Jorge L.
Published: October 2024

Enchenopa Amyot & Serville, 1843 is a diverse treehopper genus widespread across the New World. We describe two new Enchenopa species from northwest Ecuador: Enchenopa gennyaesp. nov. from urban forest remnants at the foothills of the Andes cordillera and Enchenopa chocoandinasp. nov. from secondary montane forests. Enchenopa gennyaesp. nov. is placed in the E. biplaga species group and is distinguished by the sexual dimorphism of the pronotal horn and lateral carina shape, the straight metopidium, 2–4 accessory carinae and the whitish dorsal spot and subapical band. Enchenopa chocoandinasp. nov. belongs to the E. andina species group and is diagnosed by its reddish central carina and posterior pronotal process apex, presence of an obtuse projection rather than an anterior horn, three or four irregular accessory carinae, and apical amber forewing patch. Illustrations, notes on natural history, and keys to species of the E. biplaga and E. andina species groups are also provided.
Relationships Between Resilience and Health, Health Promotion, and Quality of Life Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults With Long-Standing Multiple Sclerosis

Published: October 2024

Purpose

As people with long-standing disabling conditions age, the interplay between pre-existing conditions and new comorbidities can present unique challenges. Therefore, the current study explored relationships between resilience and health, health promotion, and quality of life among older adults living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Method

Adults recruited from National MS Society chapters completed a mailed survey about their health, health promotion, and well-being.

Results

The 147 respondents (mean age = 72 years) reported an average of three additional comorbidities and had been diagnosed with MS for 35 years on average. Resilience scores were most highly correlated with depressive symptoms, spiritual growth, social support, incapacity status, and quality of life. Resilience scores significantly improved prediction of emotional health, after controlling for other functional and psychosocial variables.

Conclusion

Nurses can help patients with chronic conditions, such as MS, develop strategies for regulating their emotional health to adapt to new health challenges. [
