Published: June 2021

As a source of alternative energy, solar energy has apparent advantages, including a renewable, inexhaustible, and environmentally friendly resource. However, it has not become widely spread in the Russian Federation. Among the disadvantages of using solar energy are high equipment cost, low efficiency of photovoltaic solar cells, the generated electrical energy instability. The spatio-temporal variability of solar access causes electrical energy instability. It is possible to increase solar photovoltaic plant efficiency by using a tracking system to change the plant sun's spatial orientation. The paper offers mathematical and simulation models of a solar photovoltaic plant with a solar tracking system that allows the plant to be automatically oriented to the sun by matching the production mode and the solar access level. The use of the azimuth plant control system on the sun will increase the power production of the solar PV plant by an average of 28%. The same value will increase by 40% when using the full plant control system.

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), by and large, have increasingly committed to integrate sustainable development (SD) into their policies, practices, and programs. Recently, there have been several sustainability assessment tools specifically developed for HEIs. Many HEIs, especially small-to-middle sized HEIs in Thailand, are planning to enhance SD but are reluctant due to resource requirements. This study was conducted to investigate important sustainability implementation issues, including the effect of HEI sizes and UI GreenMetric participation. A weighting approach on sustainability dimensions and issues was utilized, and HEI’s sustainability reports and official websites were reviewed to evaluate their sustainability performance of large-, middle-, and small-sized HEIs as well as UI GreenMetric participants and non-participants in Thailand. The findings reveal that the issues of the sustainability-integrated vision and strategy, safety and well-being, waste, and the SD-enhancing educational system were fundamentally critical for HEI sustainability. Moreover, most of the large-sized HEIs in Thailand that participated in UI GreenMetric were evaluated to have higher sustainability performance than others, apparently in administration, environment, and education/research dimensions. This study supports the necessity for a sustainability assessment tool for HEIs.

Published: June 2021

The growth of human occupations in coastal areas and climate change impact have changed the dynamics of seagrass cover and accelerated the damage to coral reefs globally. For these reasons, coastal management measures need to be developed and renewed to preserve the state of seagrass beds and coral reefs. An example includes the improvement of spatial and multitemporal analyses. This study sought to analyze changes in seagrass cover and damages to coral reefs in Gili Sumber Kima, Buleleng Regency, Bali based on multitemporal Sentinel 2A-MSI imagery. The algorithms of a machine learning, Random Forest (RF), and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used to classify the benthic habitats (seagrass beds and coral reefs). Also, a change detection analysis was performed to identify the pattern and the extent to which seagrass beds had changed. The multispectral classification of, particularly, coral reefs was used to explain the condition of this benthic habitat. The results showed +-70% to +-83% accuracies of estimated seagrass cover, and the change detection analysis revealed three directions of change, namely an increase of 27.9 ha, a decrease by 86 ha, and a preserved state in 157 ha of seagrass cover. The product of coral reefs mapping had an accuracy of 42%, and the coral reefs in Gili Sumber Kima were split almost equally between the good (1505 ha) and damaged ones (1397 ha). With the spatial information on seagrass beds and coral reefs in every region, the ecological functions of the coast can be assessed more straightforwardly and appropriately incorporated as the basis for monitoring the dynamics of resources and coastal area management.

To the Storyline of M. Saltykov-Shchedrin’s Dramatic Satire Shadows. Shalimov’s Intrigue
Authors:   Saratov State University, Zakharov K. M.
Published: June 2021

This article offers a new view of the storyline and dramatic conflict in Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin’s dramatic satire Shadows. According to the author’s hypothesis, the driving force of the plot is an off-stage character Schalimov whom literary critics have often considered as an ‘ideal’, quixotic character. In the article Schalimov is analyzed from the point of view of political intrigues in which the characters of the play are involved. The author of the article also offers his idea of the reasons behind Saltykov-Shchedrin’s sudden loss of interest to this play.

Authors: Imanipour Samaneh , Imanipour Vahid
Published: June 2021

Nonalcoholic fatty liver is known in the general public as an epidemic disease. The purpose of this mini-review was to determine a link between physical education (PA) and the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) determine the influence of an exercise method (volume and kind of exercise) on being health outcome. Body mass index (BMI) was the good criteria for classifying obesity. It is ranges from underweight (<18.5 kg/m2) to severe or unhealthy obesity (≥40 kg/m2). Most time exercise was sufficient to reduce advanced fibrosis in almost 50% including moderated aerobic exercise for 2.5–5 hours a week, or 1–2.5 hours a week on vigorous intense exercise. Different intensities of physical activity is affected on fatty liver factors and volume and exercise method stimulate improvements in related health outcome measures in obese people. Prolonged inactivity time was increased the prevalence of NAFLD. The final results were shown the influence of PA at different intensities and volume on NAFLD. Then a healthy lifestyle can improve the quality of life and physical health.

Authors: Ghassemi-Khademi Taghi , Oshaghi Mohammad Ali , Vatandoost Hassan , Madjdzadeh Seyed Massoud , Gorouhi Mohammad Amin
Published: June 2021

Background: Among the blood-sucking insects, Anopheles mosquitoes have a very special position, because they transmit parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which cause malaria as one of the main vector-borne disease worldwide. The aim of this review study was to evaluate utility of complete mitochondrial genomes in phylogenetic classification of the species of Anopheles.
Methods: The complete mitochondrial genome sequences belonging to 28 species of the genus Anopheles (n=32) were downloaded from NCBI. The phylogenetic trees were constructed using the ML, NJ, ME, and Bayesian inference methods.
Results: In general, the results of the present survey revealed that the complete mitochondrial genomes act very accu- rately in recognition of the taxonomic and phylogenetic status of these species and provide a higher level of support than those based on individual or partial mitochondrial genes so that by using them, we can meticulously reconstruct and modify Anopheles classification.
Conclusion: Understanding the taxonomic position of Anopheles, can be a very effective step in better planning for controlling these malaria vectors in the world and will improve our knowledge of their evolutionary biology.

Published: June 2021

Background: Scorpion venom has a variety of different components considerably. Some of these compounds are pro-teins such as Phospholipase A2 which is one of the most important. Use of scorpion venom for the treatment of any disease requires an initial study to determine the therapeutic dose or safe dose. Therefore, due to the necessity of study-ing scorpion venom, it is of special importance to study the effects of its dose response in animal tissues.
Methods: To determine the inflammatory effects of scorpion’s venom (Mesobuthus eupeus), 50 Nmri mice with an average weight of 24±7g were selected for investigation in two experiments. In first-round 25 of them were divided into 5 groups and were exposed to different doses of venom injection paralleling the control group. Single-injection of vari-ous doses on 25 mice was performed and results were compared.
Results: There was a significant differences between the test and control groups (in most groups). Liver necrosis was one of the important symptoms in this study, the severity of which was measured and statistically analyzed.
Conclusion: It was determined that 0.05ppm is a safe dose and sub-lethal doses can use for the investigation of thera-peutic effects of venom on cancer, diabetes, dermatitis, and so on.

Published: June 2021

Background: Collecting live sand flies from indoor sites is a major challenge for researchers in large cities due to the reluctance of families to survey their homes. This study was conducted to assess the efficacy of two methods for col-lecting sand flies for use in susceptibility tests in the urban area of Kerman, southeastern Iran.
Methods: Sandflies were mainly collected using both baited traps and hand catch methods from outdoor and indoor sites. Susceptibility tests were separately done according to the standard World Health Organization testing protocol on Phlebotomus sergenti, including 60-minute exposure to DDT 4.0%, propoxur 0.1%, deltamethrin 0.05%, and malathion 5.0%.
Results: During this research, the natural habitats and suitable indoor sites were selected to predict the density of live sand fly with perfect accuracy. The number of live Ph. sergenti caught by hand catch and baited traps methods was 42 and 361 in indoor and outdoor sites, respectively. The mortality rate of Ph. sergenti exposed to DDT 4%, deltamethrin 0.05, malathion 5%, and propoxur was 100%.
Conclusion: The baited traps showed a significant efficiency compared to hand catch for collecting live Ph. sergenti for use in susceptibility tests in urban areas. The Ph. sergenti collected from both indoor and outdoor sites were susceptible to all insecticides.

How Covid-19 impacted the European integration processes? The case of EU Cohesion Policy and budget
Authors: Musiałkowska Ida , Idczak Piotr
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The current pandemic crisis caused by Covid-19 significantly impacted the processes of European integration. The European Union decided to act within and beyond existing competences and instruments to support the efforts of its Member States, along with regional and local authorities, in the fight against Covid-19. Our study sheds light on the instruments and solutions proposed within the framework of the cohesion and budget policy to tackle the problems related to Covid-19 in Europe. The analysis focuses on two strands: 1) EU assistance offered through cohesion policy (CP) instruments toward above areas; 2) the future evolution of EU budget, and therefore integration shifts, provoked by the Covid-19 crisis. Design/methodology/approach: The study analyzes statistical data with regard to the use of instruments of the Cohesion Policy under the Covid-19 pandemic, but also the amendments introduced to legal acts and decision-making processes that refer to the multiannual financial framework (MFF) for 2021–2027. Findings: We notice a strong shift of priorities regarding environment transformation, digitalization, and health protection, reflected in the MFF. The coordinative role of European institutions and the redirection of different financial instruments to health care follows the neofunctionalist paradigm and represents a spillover effect resulting from integration. The crisis analyzed from the institutional perspective is seen as a chance to reform the decision-making process, while on the other hand, as a threat to the inclusive integration of all Member States. Originality and value: The paper is an original contribution on the overall use of both financial and legislative instruments in the times of unprecedented health and economic crisis caused by Covid-19 in the European Union. The text can be a valuable insight for both researchers and practitioners in the field of broadly understood European studies.

The reactions of particular branches and the entire agri-food sector can be of interest to academics, governmental institutions, administration officials, and students.
The impact of the crisis on the maintenance of sustainable development initiatives: A comparative analysis of local and international companies
Authors: Małys Łukasz
Published: June 2021

Purpose: The aim of the chapter is to compare the declarations of local and international companies regarding the maintenance of sustainable development initiatives during acrisis. Design/methodology/approach: The article presents the results of a survey conducted in September 2020 on a sample of 500 enterprises located in Poland. Respondents were asked to declare if they will maintain or abandon sustainable development initiatives in a crisis situation. The examples presented a pandemic similar to the one caused by Covid-19, an economic crisis, or a significant decrease in company revenues. Findings: The research showed that the largest group of companies in acrisis situation will completely abandon their initiatives in the field of sustainable development. Another group will give up those initiatives that generate the highest cost. There are some small differences in responses of local and international companies. Companies with foreign entities in the ownership structure seems less likely to give up all initiatives in the field of sustainable development. International companies more often than local companies declare that they do not know which initiatives they will abandon and which will they keep. Research limitations/implications: Factors other than international involvement (e.g. company size, strategic approach to sustainable development) may have a decisive impact on decisions regarding the maintenance of sustainable development initiatives in acrisis. Originality and value: The chapter illustrates the approach to sustainable development by companies classified into various categories: local and international.

Authors: Tatarov Roman
Published: June 2021

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the process of state building in Pridnestrovie based on the identification of the Pridnestrovian people. The issues of acquiring the mechanism of legitimacy of the Pridnestrovian state are considered, as well as tools for ensuring the Pridnestrovian choice in the realities of the XX-XXI centuries are presented. The analysis widely uses the historical method and systematic approach, which form an understanding of the degree of Russia’s involvement in regional processes, as well as the place of the foreign policy choice of the people of Pridnestrovie in the structure of Russian interests and the opinion of the citizens of the Russian Federation about the Pridnestrovian settlement. The author highlights the historical milestones in the formation of the Pridnestrovian identification code, comes to the conclusion that there is a significant difference in the content of the Moldovan foreign policy from the Pridnestrovian on this basis. Based on the data presented at the republican referendums in Pridnestrovie, as well as on the basis of the results of sociological surveys conducted on the territory of Pridnestrovie and on the territory of the Russian Federation, the peculiarities of the choice of Pridnestrovie are revealed, the opinion of Russians regarding the fate of Pridnestrovie is reflected. In addition, the official position of Russia on the Pridnestrovie settlement is indicated, which at present cannot be called strictly formed. It is shown that, being at the fork in the next cycle of the space-time continuum, the basis of the Pridnestrovian choice was the historical heritage of the republic, as well as the position of the Russian Federation on the settlement of Moldovan-Pridnestrovian relations. The hypothesis about the continuously growing role of Russia in the fate of Pridnestrovie, as well as the significant importance of Pridnestrovie for Russia, filled with historical, geopolitical and cultural content, was confirmed. The conclusion is made about an increase in the demand for protection of the national interests of Russia in certain segments of Russian public opinion.

Authors: Kilawati Yuni , Islamy R Adharyan
Published: June 2021

The pathogenic bacterial infection is one of the problems in the cultivation of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), causing a high mortality rate of cultured shrimp. The use of antibiotics or chemicals with inappropriate concentrations can harm the aquatic environment, cause resistance, and endanger consumer health because the residues from the chemicals used will periodically accumulate in the body of shrimp. One way to control and prevent shrimp disease is to increase the shrimp immune system by using immunostimulants from seaweed. This study aims to analyze the immunostimulant activity of seaweed extract (Gracilaria sp. and Padina sp.) against vannamei shrimp (L. vannamei) infected with Vibrio harveyi by observing the nonspecific immune system based on its hematological features, namely by counting the number of hemocytes and phagocytic activity. The research was conducted at the Hatchery Unit, Brackish Water Cultivation Development Center (BPAP) Situbondo, East Java. Seaweed sample Gracilaria sp. and Padina sp. purchased from seaweed farmers in Jepara, Central Java. The result of this study shows that supplementation of Gracilaria sp. and Padina sp. at a dose of 10 g/kg of feed can increase the total number of hemocytes and phagocytosis activity of L. vannamei shrimp. The best treatment is Gracilaria sp.

Authors: Fitriyah Nurul , Setyaningtyas Stefania Widya
Published: June 2021

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang : Underweight masih menjadi salah satu masalah gizi di Indonesia. Balita merupakan kelompok usia yang rentan mengalami masalah gizi khususnya underweight. Salah satu penyebab langsung terjadinya underweight adalah asupan zat gizi. Asupan zat gizi makro (energi, protein, lemak dan karbohidrat) dan zat gizi mikro seperti zink dan zat besi yang rendah dapat menyebabkan pemanfaatan zat gizi didalam tubuh tidak optimal sehingga menyebabkan masalah gizi dan rentan mengalami penyakit infeksi.Tujuan: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah menganalisis hubungan asupan energi, protein, lemak, karbohidrat, zink dan fe dengan underweight pada ibu dan balita.Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi case control dengan jumlah sampel 30 ibu dan 30 balita yang tinggal di wilayah Desa Suwari Bawean Gresik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara menggunakan kuesioner terkait karakteristik keluarga, karakteristik ibu dan balita, form food recall 3x24 jam, form frequency questionere, form keragaman pangan, dan pengukuran antropometri seperti berat badan dan tinggi badan. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji chi square.Hasil: Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan ibu dan balita underweight 50% dan ibu dan balita dengan status gizi normal 50%. Sebagian besar ibu memiliki tingkat asupan energi, lemak, karbohidrat, zink dan zat besi yang kurang, sedangkan sebagian besar balita memiliki tingkat asupan karbohidrat dan zink yang kurang. Terdapat hubungan antara asupan zink dengan underweight pada ibu (p=0,031) dan juga terdapat hubungan antara zat besi dengan underweight pada balita (p=0,032).Kesimpulan: Ibu dan balita dengan status gizi underweight memiliki tingkat kecukupan asupan energi, lemak, karbohidrat, zink dan zat besi lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan ibu dengan status gizi baik. Perlu meningkatkan asupan bahan makanan sumber energi, lemak, karbohidrat, zink dan zat besi pada ibu dan meningkatkan asupan bahan makanan sumber karbohidrat dan zink pada balita serta konsumsi makanan bervariasi agar masalah gizi underweight tidak memburuk.
Reflective narratives during the Covid-19 pandemic: an outlet for medical students in uncertain times
Authors: Vaz Manjulika
Published: June 2021

Reflective narratives on personal experiences, observations, thoughts and concerns were used as a method of helping medical students process the Covid-19 pandemic and their lives. This involved individual writing, anonymous submission, on-line group reading of selected narratives on a voluntary basis and facilitated discussions. Students felt that this was a safe method to voice their feelings and thoughts, to understand themselves better and to gain new perspectives. Though small numbers of students participated, there appears to be a greater potential to use reflective narrative writing coupled with facilitated group discussions in medical education to help students cope with external and internal stress, to better understand themselves, to relate to others and possibly to become more empathic.
Nagorno-Karabakh – 2020: Consequences of the War and Prospects of the Post-War Settlement
Authors: Mukhanov V. , Skakov A.
Published: June 2021

Received 04.03.2021. The war in Nagorno-Karabakh of autumn 2020 which has already been called Second Karabakh or 44-days war led to noticeable changes in the balance of forces and the entire configuration of the system of international relations in South Caucasus (SC) region. At the same time its consequences both for the regional situation and for the policies of the individual countries of the SC remain largely unclear. Thus the acute internal political crisis in Armenia has become protracted2. There is still no unity among the parties concerned regarding the future of Nagorno-Karabakh. Apparently the outcome of the war will also entail noticeable shifts in the policy of extra-regional actors in the South Caucasus whose interests in one or other extent are affected by the conflict.

Published: June 2021

Fractions are one of the most complex and challenging notions for children and can often lead to frustration and a revulsion for mathematics in general. In this article, we present the Magic Cauldron, a Mixed Reality (MR) application, designed to help children apprehend fractions in a fun and interactive way. The proposed solution is a digital extension to a board game, called the Potion Workshop that is used to introduce fractions in more than 2000 schools in France. We put together a team, composed of the mathematics didacticians who designed the Potion Workshop, several teachers who use this game in their class, a multimedia designer and computer scientists, in order to create a MR game that would tackle several of the key notions that are still hard to grasp. In this article, we present the Design-Based method followed by this team. It offers insights on how to implicate non-computer scientists in the design of complex custom MR interactions. Through several cycles of collaborative design, involving three teachers and their students and the development of three prototypes, this method allowed us to produce a truly original MR application.

Published: June 2021

The article reviews Iranian sports in three periods: prehistoric, ancient, and modern. In prehistoric times, remaining cases have shown the existence of movement activities based on recreational and religious ceremonies. In the period of ancient history, documents such as Hasanlu Golden Cup and Arjan Cup, and in the continuation of architectures leftover from different eras, refer to the prosperity of sports activities with different approaches. Among all kinds of activities, Iranian zoorkhaneh sport has a significant cultural background and effect. Modern sports entered Iran through embassies, oil contractors, Western-educated students, and military representatives in other countries (in the modern era). Iran became a member of the International Olympic Committee in 1947 and won its first Olympic medal in 1948. Entering the 21st century, the sports industry in Iran began to grow and the number of clubs, sports careers, and sports science students in universities increased significantly. The growing dimension of attention and interest in sports among Iranians shows that sports will be one of the main areas in Iran's development in the future.

India is ranked 5th in world in terms of Covid-19 publications accounting for 6.7% of the total. About 60% of the Covid-19 publications in the year 2020 are from United States, China, UK, Italy, and India. We present a bibliometrics analysis of the publi-cation trends and citation structure along with identification of major research clusters. By performing network analysis of authors, citations, institutions, key-words, and countries, we explore semantic associations by applying visualization techniques. Our study shows lead taken by United States, China, UK, Italy, India in Covid-19 research may be attributed to the high prevalence of Covid-19 cases in those countries witnessing the first outbreak and also due to access to Covid-19 data, access to labs for experimental trials, immediate funding, and overall support from the govt. agencies. Large number of publications and citations from India are due to co-authored publications with countries like United States, UK, China, and Saudi Arabia. Findings show health sciences with highest the number of publications and citations, while physical sciences and social sciences and humanities counts were low. A large proportion of publications fall into the open access category. With India as focus, by comparing three major pandemics SARS, MERS, Covid-19 from biblio-metrics perspective, we observe much broader involvement of authors from multiple countries for Covid-19 studies as compared to SARS and MERS. Finally, by applying bibliometric indicators, we see an increasing number of sustainable develop-ment-related studies from the Covid-19 domain, particularly concerning the topic of good health and well-being. This study allows for a deeper understanding on how the scholarly community from a populous country like India pursued research in the midst of a major pandemic which resulted in closure of scientific institutions.

Objetivo: El propósito de este estudio fue comparar la precisión de los localizadores electrónicos apicales Propex Pixi y Raypex 6 en la determinación de la longitud de trabajo de piezas dentarias con perforaciones simuladas a diferentes niveles del conducto radicular. Materiales y Métodos: Se utilizaron 36 premolares inferiores unirradiculares con un conducto, divididos aleatoriamente en tres grupos de 12 piezas dentarias cada uno. En el primer grupo, se realizaron dos perforaciones simuladas que fueron a nivel medio y a nivel apical; en el segundo grupo, se realizó una perforación simulada a nivel cervical, y en el tercer grupo, se realizó una perforación simulada a nivel apical. Se emplearon dos localizadores electrónicos apicales Propex Pixi y Raypex 6. La longitud real del conducto fue medida con un calibrador Vernier digital. Se aplicó estadística descriptiva y estadística inferencial con la prueba de Friedman a un nivel de confianza del 95%. Resultados: Al comparar la precisión de las longitudes obtenidas por los localizadores electrónicos apicales Propex Pixi y Raypex 6 en premolares inferiores con perforaciones simuladas a nivel medio y apical, premolares inferiores con perforación simulada a nivel cervical y premolares inferiores con perforación simulada a nivel apical, se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la longitud real del conducto, p < 0,001, p = 0,008 y p = 0,006, respectivamente. Conclusiones: El localizador electrónico apical Propex Pixi (Dentsply Maillefer, Alemania) presentó mayor precisión en la determinación de la longitud real del conducto en piezas dentarias con perforaciones simuladas a diferentes niveles del conducto radicular.

Objetivo: Estudiar morfométricamente el complejo estilohioideo (CEH) mediante tomografía computarizada multicorte (TCM). Materiales y métodos: Investigación descriptiva, retrospectiva y transversal. La muestra estuvo conformada por 238 estudios de TCM, pertenecientes a pacientes de ambos sexos con edades entre 20 y 87 años, con indicación de tomografía para el macizo craneofacial. Se realizó la medición de la longitud del CEH en vistas laterales de reconstrucciones volumétricas en 3D. Se obtuvo la distribución de estos casos de acuerdo con edad, sexo, lateralidad, tipo de osificación y motivo de indicación del examen. Resultados: La longitud media del CEH fue de 30,66 ± 10,58 mm. Del total de la muestra, 127 (53,4%) individuos mostraron un CEH elongado; de estos, un 63,8% fueron mujeres y un 64,6% de los pacientes presentó un compromiso bilateral del complejo. La mayoría de los sujetos con un CEH elongado tenían edades comprendidas entre 30 y 59 años. El tipo de osificación encontrada con mayor frecuencia fue del tipo I (elongación continua). En cuanto al motivo de indicación del examen, la mayoría de los pacientes fueron referidos para estudio de la articulación temporomandibular. Conclusiones: La TCM es una herramienta útil en la identificación y el estudio morfométrico de la osificación del CEH, tanto en su longitud como tipo. El examen de un CEH osificado es importante para el diagnóstico diferencial de dolor cervicofacial y disfunción de la articulación temporomandibular.

Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Comparar el ángulo de la guía condílea sagital obtenida del registro radiográfico y clínico en pacientes dentados. Materiales y métodos: La muestra estuvo conformada por un grupo único de estudio de 32 pacientes, en el que se evaluó la radiografía lateral estricta y los registros posicionales: en relación céntrica, registro protrusivo a 5 mm en lateralidad derecha y registro protrusivo a 5 mm en lateralidad izquierda. Con el registro posicional del arco facial se articuló el modelo superior, con el registro posicional en relación céntrica se articuló el modelo inferior, con los registros laterales protrusivos de los lados derecho e izquierdo se obtuvo la medida del ángulo de la guía condílea sagital para la programación del articulador semiajustable. El plan estadístico en la presente investigación utilizó el programa SPSS versión 24, la normalidad fue evaluada usando el test de Shapiro-Wilk, también se realizaron las pruebas de T de Student y correlación de Pearson. Resultados: Se determinó estadísticamente que el género y la edad influyen en la medida del ángulo de la guía condílea sagital. El método radiográfico presentó un ángulo de guía condílea de 35,69 ±5,18 y con el método clínico fue 35,69 ± 5,16 (p > 0,05). La prueba de correlación de Pearson sí mostró una correlación importante entre ambos métodos r = 0,948, p < 0,001. Conclusiones: Existe alta correlación en las medidas obtenidas del ángulo de la guía condílea sagital con los registros radiográficos y clínicos; esta concordancia permitiría reemplazar un método por el otro.
