Published: August 2024

18-year-old male patient with a history of myelomeningocele consulted for an MRI due to chronic scrotal pain with an ulceration in the right scrotum. MRI demonstrates there was an absence of contrast uptake and a whirlpool sign meaning that the right testicle was not viable and orchiectomy was performed. Although doppler ultrasound is the gold standard for diagnosing testicular torsion, in case of diagnostic doubt it is appropriate to perform an MRI in order to preserve testicular vitality and avoid unnecessary orchiectomies.

Published: August 2024

The intricate development and physiological dynamics of the mammary glands, orchestrated by a delicate interplay of hormones, are crucial for reproductive function and lactation. Beginning with intrauterine clusters evolving into mature glands, hormonal fluctuations throughout puberty and the menstrual cycle finely tune mammary tissue growth. Oestrogens stimulate the proliferation of epithelial cells, while progesterone orchestrates the formation of lactiferous glands. During pregnancy, oestrogen and progesterone induces hyperplasia of lobules and ducts, preparing the breast for lactation. Prolactin is vital for lactation and stimulates milk production during pregnancy and postpartum. As shown by ultrasonography, physiological changes during lactation reflect glandular tissue transformation for milk secretion. Clinical and physiological changes, including increased blood flow, contribute to mammary growth and firmness, complicating clinical examination. Ultrasonographic findings reveal variability in women’s glandular and fat tissue distribution, suggesting that milk production is not solely determined by anatomical factors. Though not directly linked to milk production, blood flow dynamics hint at a threshold for optimal lactation. Understanding these complex hormonal and physiological mechanisms is crucial for comprehending mammary development, function, and clinical assessment.

ANPR is a must for traffic control, law enforcement and automated toll collection systems. Traditional ANPR solutions are expensive, rely heavily on hardware and not suitable for mass adoption. A low-cost, high-performance ANPR system on a Raspberry Pi 4 device with camera module and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities. The system uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for OCR which can identify license plates with high accuracy even under different lighting conditions and resolutions. The pre-processing pipeline of the image includes noise removal and gray scaling to make extracting edges simpler, which aims for better license plate visibility in crowded frames. These pre-processed images are further passed to a plate localization extraction trained CNN so as the make it invariant of distortion and locale ensuring better accuracy in such number plate detection applications. This low-cost answer represents a viable option to traditional ANPR systems for larger scale applications in traffic control, law enforcement and automatic toll processing. In future iterations, we look to increase performance and robustness by providing more data from which the system can learn. Moreover, the incorporation of advanced functionalities like cloud-based analytics would strengthen system features that will aid in smart city infrastructure integrations. The advancements of these developments aim to increase ANPR system throughput at a scale that will play role in enabling safer and more efficient transportation systems.

When Transformation Deters Recycling: The Role of Privacy Concerns
Authors: Cakanlar Aylin , Nenkov Gergana Y. , Winterich Karen Page
Published: August 2024

Consumers frequently handle documents that contain private information, such as financial records, but how do consumers dispose of these items when they are finished with them? In an era where digital privacy concerns are escalating, understanding the interplay between privacy and physical waste disposal is crucial. This research examines the role of privacy concerns in consumer disposal decisions. Four studies demonstrate that consumers are less likely to recycle items containing private information compared to those without such information. This reluctance to recycle stems from consumers’ perceptions that recycling, since it transforms items into something new, entails heightened levels of handling, sorting, and scrutiny by others. Consequently, when disposing of items containing private information, privacy concerns are exacerbated. Consumers feel that such items are more visible to others when placed in recycling bins rather than conventional trash receptacles. This heightened sense of visibility reduces consumers’ inclination to recycle items containing private information. However, actions that reduce the visibility of private information, such as document shredding, enhance consumers’ willingness to engage in recycling behavior. These findings contribute to the literature on privacy and sustainability and have implications for companies dealing with private information, as well as for policymakers overseeing consumer privacy matters.
Coordinación, cooperación y colaboración interorganizacional para la transformación digital empresarial
Authors: Canales Aguirre Caleb
Published: August 2024

The ability of an entrepreneur to create is limited by the lack of resources. Among the dominant resources in emerging countries, the creation and adoption of new technologies stands out. It is understood that the power to compete and lead in the markets resides in the rarity and distinction in the selection of resources. Many companies choose to increase the complexity of their products and promote the sophistication of services, however; They neglect to strengthen the business model by diversifying their values with the support of external agents. The research objective of this article is to understand the disposition of enterprises to collaborate, cooperate, and coordinate with external agents in order to adopt technology programs and digital competencies. The methodology is based on closed questionaries for twenty-one managers. The results indicate that there is a greater willingness to collaborate and cooperate than to coordinate, which translates into a greater openness of businesses to work together in an operational rather than strategic context. In depth, the interest in collaboration for the development of digital competencies and cooperation in the transfer of personnel focused on technology exceeds, in comparison, the interest in jointly planning investments in digital transformation programs or making joint hires of information technology specialists. Additionally, companies have high expectations for collaborative work in generating new digital platforms and launching new products, but they lack initiative in creating patents, licenses, or new ventures.

Authors: Cruz de Bustillo Diana Carolina , Pérez Antillón Carlos Atilio , Gómez Paredes Fernando José
Published: August 2024

Psychosocial risk factors are anything in the design or management of work that increases the risk of work-related stress. Their assessment is legally required in Salvadoran companies, nevertheless, the legislation itself lacks a specific methodology to comply with such requirements. In 2020, the Spanish National Institute of Health and Safety at Work (INSST) published a methodology to assist Micro and Small Enterprises in managing these factors that can also be used for larger companies. This article presents a case study in a medium-sized advertising Salvadoran company, where this methodology was applied in positions of its production department. The information required for its application was obtained through consultation with workers along with the review of their job descriptors and direct observation of work. The results indicate that all the jobs analyzed have psychosocial factors in adverse conditions. The most predominant ones were associated with autonomy, work pace, time and emotional demands, all with a medium level of importance. It was identified that taking on orders with short delivery deadlines modified the planning and extension of working hours, contributing to the situation observed. Based on this information, various measures were suggested, such as conducting capability and workload studies along with improving planning visibility. Given that the methodology facilitated the management of psychosocial factors, was easy to use and had a participatory approach, the experience of this research suggests that it can be an alternative for other micro, small and medium-sized Salvadoran companies to respond to regulatory requirements, ensuring the welfare of workers.

AN EPISTEMOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MUSIC AND METAPHYSICS
Authors: Soylu Bağçeci Fulya
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT
Thinking together about all the elements of music based on concrete indicators and the qualities of this field that point beyond what is known, brings to the agenda an accumulation of knowledge on the axis of art, philosophy and music. The idea of art, which is the subject of music, or the key issues that transform music into art, point to the deep meanings of music in connection with metaphysics. The approaches adopted in the history of thought, scientific advances and social turning points have shaped the quality of music and the meanings attributed to music. In this descriptive study, which aims to make an epistemological examination of the relationship between music and metaphysics through this accumulation, metaphysical issues that enable us to characterize music as art are revealed. Thus, regardless of the context, it is possible to see a metaphysical perspective that progresses intertwined with music in many circumstances, with various semantic contents, forming itself both as a natural result of music and on an axis that inspires music.

Authors: Ekerette Nkereuwem Ndaeyo , Sanusi Rasaki Ajani
Published: August 2024

Background: Adherence to high-quality dietary patterns is crucial for preventing diet-related chronic diseases. However, global dietary shifts towards energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods are prevalent. Aim: This study aimed to assess diet quality (DQ) among adults in two States – Akwa Ibom State (AKS) and Cross River State (CRS) in southern Nigeria. Methods: Diet quality was evaluated using the Diet Quality Index-International (DQI-I), comprising components of food variety, adequacy, moderation, and balance. Binary logistic regression was employed to examine factors associated with low diet quality. Results. Among 1,188 adults (mean age: 35.47 ± 11.2 years), the mean DQI-I score was 56.08 ± 7.3. Mean scores for DQI-I components were 11.24 ± 3.9, 24.43 ± 4.8, 19.70 ± 5.8, and 0.70 ± 1.5 for total food variety, dietary adequacy, moderation, and overall balance, respectively. Low diet quality was significantly more prevalent among adults in AKS (p = 0.001), females (p = 0.034), and rural dwellers (p = 0.003). Further analyses revealed that, rural dwellers [Adjusted Odd Ratio (AOR): 0.72; 95% Confidence Interval (CI): (0.55 – 0.93); p = 0.014] and females [AOR: 0.76; CI: (0.60 – 1.00); p = 0.028] were less likely to adopt moderate-to-high DQ, when compared to their respective counterparts. Conclusion: This study revealed suboptimal diet quality among adults in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States in southern Nigeria. Dietary intakes were characterized by dietary adequacy, moderation and appreciably, food variety. Targeted interventions addressing all aspects of diet quality are necessary to improve dietary patterns and reduce the burden of diet-related diseases.

Keywords: Diet Quality Index-International, total food variety, dietary adequacy, moderation, overall balance, South-South Nigeria.

Riesgos medioambientales: los virus. La frontera entre lo clásico y lo cuántico
Authors: Cosano Carbonell Rafael
Published: August 2024

Los virus son cuasiespecies que necesitan un hospedador para poder replicar su RNA y sobrevivir. Parasitan a todo tipo de especies; en algunos casos no provocan ningún daño a su hospedador, y en otros pueden llegar a provocar la muerte de este, aunque sea indirectamente por los daños que acaba provocando y las reacciones inmunes que desarrollan los hospedadores. Viven en un mundo que se encuentra en el umbral de lo clásico y lo cuántico. Pueden vivir en el vacío y sin oxígeno, pero necesitan las condiciones que se dan en nuestro mundo para poder evolucionar, mutar y sobrevivir. Su forma de vida hace que se rijan por condicionantes cuánticos y siguiendo sus leyes. Eso nos obliga a luchar contra ellos con herramientas de la física clásica, dentro del mundo cuántico en el que viven. Este artículo busca encontrar ese umbral, y poder así, entender mejor a lo que nos estamos enfrentando, y si el estado del arte actual es el correcto para poder dar una solución satisfactoria. Las células de los seres vivos y los virus libran una guerra que dura millones de años, y aunque los sistemas inmunológicos de la mayoría de los seres vivos han evolucionado para rechazar esa amenaza, en muchas ocasiones sucumben, y se hace necesaria la ayuda exterior mediante profilaxis adecuadas a cada caso. El deterioro imparable de los ecosistemas que nos rodean, debido sobre todo al desequilibrio que hemos introducido en ellos, hace que los virus lo tengan más fácil para pasar de especie a especie, ya que los hospedadores naturales, que reducen la carga viral, en muchas ocasiones han desaparecido.

Authors: Yulfi Hemma , Darlan Dewi M. , Panggabean Merina , Andriyani Yunilda , Rozi Muhammad F. , Wandra Toni
Published: August 2024

A group of helminthic and intestinal protozoa causes intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs), affecting more than 2.5 billion people worldwide. IPIs are diseases closely associated with poor hygiene and sanitation, concentrated in underdeveloped regions and among populations with low socioeconomic status. Consequently, most prevalence is in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, with local habits or risk factors that could affect its prevalence. The aim of this study was to determine how hygienic practices, sanitation, and local behavior of eating raw meat (hinasumba) contributed to the prevalence of IPI. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Simalungun District of North Sumatera Province, involving 428 people of Batak Simalungun. There were 15 villages randomly selected across the district based on the local registry, which consequently, non-purposive sampling was conducted. Face-to-face interviews assessed various risk factors, such as demographic characteristics, water source, traditional raw meat consumption, or hinasumba as local risk factors, hygienic practices, and sanitation. The findings indicated that an overall prevalence rate of IPI was 42.9%, consisting of 87.5% with helminthic infection and 12.5% with protozoal infection. More than half of IPI cases were associated with Taenia sp. infections (21.8%), followed by hookworms’ infections with a 6.1% positivity rate. Based on multivariate analysis, farming and consuming traditional delicacies, namely hinasumba, increased the likelihood of IPI occurrence among the population by 1.7 and 3 times, respectively. It can be concluded that the high prevalence of taeniasis in the study area was associated with local behavior and hinasumba consumption, which may contribute to determining the dominance of specific IPI species.

Published: August 2024

Following the Russian invasion, the Turkic languages underwent a sequence of control measures, first by the tsarist authorities and subsequently by the Bolshevik regime. A deliberate effort was made to modify these languages, encompassing alterations in pronunciation, alphabets, spelling, lexicon, and linguistic conventions. Notably, these studies magnified the distinctions between these languages while disregarding their shared characteristics. To delve into one aspect of this matter, this article scrutinized the discussions surrounding the phenomenon of synharmonism in Turkic languages during the inaugural Congress of Turkology held in Baku in 1926. The perspectives articulated by Bakir Choponzoda, Olimjon Ibrohimov, Shokirjon Rahimi, and Usmanov were examined. The findings revealed that there was a concer- ted endeavor to eliminate synharmonism from Turkic languages during the First Congress of Turkology.

Reclaiming Womanhood: Sexuality, Violence and Women with Disabilities “I Am the False Character That Follows the Name Around:” Historiographic Metafiction of Don DeLillo’s White Noise
Authors: DG Sharanya
Published: August 2024

Modern novels opposed power structures by struggling for personal autonomy, leading to alienation of the individual from society. However, this kind of alienation was insufficient to oppose power structures in postmodernism. It was recognized that power structures sustain on naturalization of language as tool of oppression, and postmodern texts therefore became selfconscious of the act of writing and reading. They began to question their own mediums of expression, and the relationship between fiction and reality. Metafictional writing made this turn inward possible, allowing the resistance to the dominant structures to come from within the text itself. This paper explores the use of metafiction that is characteristic of postmodernism, grounding its arguments in Linda Hutcheon’s theorisation of historiographic metafiction. This understanding of metafictionality and postmodernism itself is then used to closely read Don DeLillo’s novel, White Noise (1984). The motives and effects of metafictionality discussed is exemplified through the textual and formal analysis of the novel. The paper argues that by bringing together the literary, theoretical, and historical through its self-referential attempts, the novel is able to open up a dialogue about and challenge the dominant consumerist, postmodern American society it is situated within.
Educación y familia: rectores de un lenguaje inclusivo

En el texto “Educación y familia: rectores de un lenguaje inclusivo en la universidad” Ma. de Jesús Briceño González somete a discusión la función de la familia como generadora de discursos en relación con prácticas de desigualdad e inequidad de género. La representación verbal del mundo y la realidad se reproducen en dicha esfera vital, de manera que las experiencias vividas allí suelen ser reflejadas en el espacio público. Por ello, cuando en lo familiar existen exclusión, discriminación y violencia, sus miembros pueden convertirse en fuente de actos inhumanos en la sociedad. En este escrito se considera que el sistema Estado-educación-sociedad-familia, al favorecer la cohesión social, es la estructura idónea para crear y cimentar una comunidad ciudadana consciente, reflexiva y crítica; que trabaje por la igualdad, equidad y el derecho a la libertad de elección de toda persona. Por ello, se invita a la reflexión sobre la transformación actual de la educación, en específico de la universidad, como espacio cultural de discusión y análisis crítico de los aconteceres globales y locales. En este sentido, al abordar los diversos problemas cotidianos ocasionados por el uso normalizado del lenguaje, se propone un aprendizaje alternativo a través de la instrucción familiar y también desde la educación formal, al hacer hincapié en el papel que desempeñan alumnos y docentes como actores del proceso educativo. El objetivo que se persigue es contribuir a una sensibilización global sobre el uso del lenguaje inclusivo, dentro y fuera de las aulas, en tanto herramienta para concientizar acerca de la no discriminación, los derechos humanos y el respeto a la diversidad de género.

Xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis of the female genital tract is an extremely rare entity with less than 30 cases being previously reported in the literature. It is characterized by destruction of the normal tissue followed by replacement with inflammatory cells and foamy macrophages. The clinical characteristics closely resemble those of typical noncancerous and cancerous adnexal conditions, making diagnosis challenging. In this case, we describe a patient with a pelvic mass, elevated tumor marker levels, and a history of using an intrauterine contraceptive device. She underwent surgery with the suspicion of an adnexal tumor, but the pathological examination revealed it to be xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis.

As any change must begin somewhere, it is the single individual who will experience it and carry it through.’

Content & Focus:
In this editorial, we voice the unspoken and illuminate the subtle expressions of ‘race’ discrimination, in an effort to amend and repair our relationship with ‘race’ within a profession we are immensely proud of and that which forms a part of our identities. As individual practitioners, we desire a shift in our continued professional development and a true recognition of the visible but hidden phenomenon of ‘race’. We long for legitimacy and a lifelong ideal where, although issues may exist, we are able to experience, dissect, learn, and disseminate knowledge. We want counselling psychology to actively partake in the dialogue around race; and be a driving force to carry through advocacy for our clients and for ourselves.
