The Rise of the Customer Success Function as Catalyst for Team Innovation
Authors:   , Wagner André , Van Knippenberg Daniel L
Published: March 2022

In this study, I assess the causal impact of boundary spanning on team innovation. I explore conditions and processes in 144 engagement teams in an enterprise software company driving innovation with customers in North America across industries. In this context, innovation is defined as the development and implementation of technology-based ideas in organizations. Using an integrated conditional process analysis, I find that boundary-spanning team practices combined with a shared vision and functional background diversity lead to a significant team innovation increase. I further assess the team process of information elaboration through which functional diversity and boundary spanning foster solution use. In particular, I argue that boundary spanning amplifies the effects of shared vision and information elaboration, leading to significantly increased team innovation. Consistent with this argument, I find that functional diversity's positive impact on team innovation through information elaboration is conditional on a shared vision, whereas the impact is more significant when team members share a commitment to common goals for their work. Therefore, my findings contribute actionable insight into how to enable cross-functional engagement teams to successfully drive customer innovation with enterprise software in the technology industry.
ADDICTION BY DESIGN: Some Dimensions and Challenges of Excessive Social Media Use
Authors: Mujica Alejandro , Crowell Charles , Villano Michael , Uddin Khutb
Published: March 2022

ocial media addiction is a growing problem throughout the world. It has been characterized as a type of behavioral addiction, which can be measured using standardized criteria based on six general properties of addiction criteria: salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, conflict and relapse. Several studies have found a prevalence of approximately 10% for social media addiction in individuals across the globe, indicating that this problem is common and widespread. Deleterious effects of this disorder include depressive symptoms, increased anxiety, and a lowered sense of personal well-being. Social media addiction also has been linked to neuroplastic changes that diminish attention and impede an individual’s ability to focus. There many dimensions of social media that can foster addiction, including the exploitation of evolutionarily old urges to communicate and socialize, as well as intentional design of the user interface to hook users into constant use. There is little doubt that social media companies are financially incentivized to maximize user attentiveness to ads (i.e., ad views and clicks) on their platforms because user attention is the product for which they are paid. These companies maximize user attentiveness in two primary ways: first, by intentionally designing the interface to have properties intended to hold users’ attention; and second, by personalizing the content shown to users in order to make it more interesting and engaging for them. Social media addiction likely arises from the vicious cycle involving user attention leading to powerful dopamine-related reinforcement, which then stimulates more attention intended to achieve more reinforcement. This paper provides an overview of this multifaceted problem of social media addiction, including a brief review of addictions in general, social media addiction in particular, and a discussion of the prevalence and consequences of this addiction. Also discussed is the role social media companies play in addiction by design, along with the critical need to present solutions to social media addiction. These solutions, beginning with redesign of the user interface properties to make them more humane and ethical, are possible, but will not be easy. However, we all must work toward a world in which people use technology for their own well-being rather than for the well-being of those who control the technology.
Google-Reflected Information on Drugs Used for Anesthesia: Time Course of Growth in Number of Web Pages
Authors: Vlassakov Kamen , Kissin Igor
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the time course of growth in general Google-reflected information on drugs used for anesthesia. As a contrast to the changes in general Google-reflected information we used the changes in academic PubMed-reflected information. Methods: General Google-reflected information on anesthetics was assessed by counting the number of Google Web pages. Academic information was assessed by counting the number of articles in medico-biological journals covered by the PubMed database (The National Library of Medicine). The ratio of Google Web pages to PubMed articles (G/P Ratio) was used to indicate prevalence of Google-related information. Twenty-five agents used for anesthesia were selected from three pharmacological groups – general anesthetics, local anesthetics, and opioids -- based on the frequency of their association with anesthesia in academic medical journals. The time course of growth in general Google-reflected information was determined for five 5-year periods, from 1993 to 2017. Results: With the growing role of the Web, the number of Google Web pages on drugs used for anesthesia increased rapidly. As a result, the relationship between general Google-reflected and academic PubMed-reflected information on anesthetics profoundly changed. Before the 1998-2002 period, the number of Google Web pages on anesthetics was mostly a fraction of the number of PubMed articles. By the 2013-2017 period, the relationship was completely reversed: for any anesthetic, the number of Google Web pages was at least three times greater than the number of PubMed articles. However, the relationship of general Web-related information and academic information with different anesthetics was very variable. In 2013-2017, the G/P Ratio, indicating the magnitude of general information dominance, for the 25 agents varied from 3.0 (remifentanil) to 23.2 (oxycodone). The dominance of Google information was especially profound with drugs that have a wider spectrum of possible use beyond the field of anesthesia, such as oxycodone or diazepam. Conclusion: General Google-reflected information is rapidly growing and, as a result, its dominance over academic PubMed-reflected information is constantly increasing. Article Details
Judicialization of Public Pharmaceutical Care Policies
Authors: Carneiro Debora
Published: March 2022

Judicial activism can be an important mechanism for citizens to protect their rights against legislative inertia and executive bureaucracy. However, when judges exceed decision-making power, a movement called judicial extremism, they generate legal uncertainty, as they do not have the expected legal basis for a court ruling, but only generic principles and moral values of the judge himself. The extremist judge, disrespects public policies, disrespects the public budget, disrespects the rights of the community, and imposes obligations on the Administration, without evaluating the consequences and without this generating effective social justice. In relation to public policies related to pharmaceutical assistance, judicial activism can help to correct management failures, but judicial extremism imposes on the Public Administration the supply of any medication, even if there is a therapeutic alternative available in public policy. This behavior has become widespread in Brazil and contaminates other countries with public health systems. The pharmaceutical industry gains the most, with marketing strategies or the creation of pseudo-differentiation between new pharmaceuticals and drugs, guarantee, with judicial decisions, an open consumer market, free from questioning and profitable. With the current global health crisis, information and misinformation about the disease and possible forms of treatment have enhanced the discussions and the role of tripartition of powers, collective and individual fundamental rights, economic groups, science, and assistance. A broad dialogue between the main actors in the process is needed so that fundamental rights are efficiently and guaranteed.

Authors: Johnson Gabriel , Lim Sarah , Griffin Daniel , Wang Xiong , Etemad Lida
Published: March 2022

Objective: Several investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies have Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) for the treatment of mild to moderate coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In well-designed randomized clinical trials (RCTs), mAb therapies have demonstrated a reduction in the progression to hospitalization and death in high-risk individuals. This study assessed the real-world efficacy of treatment with mAb therapy during a time with a high percentage of the Alpha variant circulating. Methods: We performed a prospective study looking at the progression to hospitalization in a high-risk treatment population that qualified for mAb therapy under the current EUA and that consented to have their viral isolates undergo whole genome sequencing (WGS) to assess for the presence of genetic variants. A total of 125 patients consented to participate and ultimately 81 participants that both had obtainable sequence data and completed follow-up were included in the final analysis. Based on the risk profile of these participants we anticipated a >10% hospitalization without therapy and a 70-80% reduction based on prior RCTs. Five of the 81 patients (6%) were hospitalized despite monoclonal antibody therapy. The most common variant was Alpha (n=66, 81%), followed by other unknown variants (n=6, 7%), Iota (n=3, 4%), Epsilon (n=2, 2%), Gamma (n=2, 2%), and no variant detected (n=2, 2%). Conclusion: Monitoring of the local variants, proper procurement decisions regarding specific mAb treatment effective against circulating variants and following real world efficacy has the potential to positively impact the use of mAb therapies. Future studies are needed to assess the efficacy of different mAb treatment results in real world settings with various SARS-CoV-2 variants, various treatment delays and various populations.
Medical Students Meeting Pandemic Staff Needs: Duty, Drives and Dreads - a cross-sectional questionnaire survey at Aalborg University in Denmark
Authors: Astorp Mike , Gade Gustav , Emmersen Jeppe , Erbs Alexander , Rasmussen Sten , Andersen Stig
Published: March 2022

Background: The covid-19 pandemic hit healthcare systems globally, and demands on healthcare worker resources rose dramatically. Medical students are a potential resource to meet these demands, but to what extent can they be expected to step up, and where can they fill in. Aims: To evaluate medical students’ contribution as healthcare workers during the pandemic and assess motivation and deterrence factors. Methods: A cross-sectional survey questionnaire was distributed one year following the lockdown of the country and accessible from March 18th through April 14th 2021. All medical students enrolled at Aalborg University were asked about positions held, number of working hours, and factors of motivation and deterrence. Results: The response rate was 69% (557 of 806), and 80.4% (448 of 557) of the respondents had performed paid work as healthcare workers during the pandemic. Students took up an array of jobs in the healthcare system, the most prevalent being Covid-19 test-personal (302, 54%), assistant nurse (149, 27%) and locum physician (115, 21%), with 42.2% (235 of 557) of medical students holding more than one position. The majority worked between 11 and 20 hours weekly, and the 448 medical students working in the pandemic reported filling in for 205 full-time jobs. Working students differed from non-working students by giving the most markedly higher scores to taking pride, participating in a historical event, receiving salary and improving job opportunities (all, p<0.001). Conclusion: Medical students proved to be willing contributors and flexible resources. The 448 medical students worked an estimated 344,000 hours during the first year of the pandemic, and they supported several job types. Differences within domains for motivation and deterrence were identified.
El patrimonio en las aulas. Un estudio en prospectiva con estudiantes del Grado en Educación Primaria
Authors: Chaparro Sainz Álvaro , Méndez Andrés Ramón , Felices de la Fuente María del Mar
Published: March 2022

Recientes investigaciones han puesto de manifiesto la amplia valoración que hace el profesorado en formación inicial y en activo del patrimonio como elemento clave para la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Ciencias Sociales. Sin embargo, en la actualidad, su presencia en las aulas sigue siendo escasa. En este estudio, indagamos en el uso que prevén hacer del mismo los futuros maestros y maestras de Educación Primaria, y en los recursos y estrategias que consideran más apropiados para ello. Desde un enfoque cuantitativo no experimental, hemos aplicado una encuesta al estudiantado participante (n=327), cuyos datos han sido analizados con el programa SPSS v.25.0. Los resultados revelan la importancia que otorgan al uso del patrimonio inmaterial y de recursos TIC, y muestran diferencias remarcables en cuanto a variables como el sexo o la formación recibida. Estas diferencias suscitan debate en cuanto a la actitud de hombres y mujeres hacia la integración de determinados recursos en las prácticas docentes y cómo la preparación previa recibida puede determinar las actitudes del alumnado del Grado. Como principal conclusión se subraya la necesidad de reforzar la formación inicial y continua que recibe el profesorado sobre el uso del patrimonio en los contextos educativos.

El “cuerpo” y lo “corporal” en la formación de los profesores de Educación Física. Un análisis de la propuesta educativa de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Argentina, 1953-1999)
Authors: Levoratti Alejo
Published: March 2022

La formación de los profesores de educación física en la Argentina a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX fue objeto de profundos cambios, tanto en los modelos institucionales como en las problemáticas disciplinares que direccionaron tales procesos. En ese sentido, la discusión sobre el cuerpo se fue instaurando paulatinamente en las instancias de definición curricular, constituyéndose en un tópico central de la disciplina. Para ello estudiaremos los planes y programas que se fueron implementando, relevando las continuidades y cambios en los contenidos y enfoques conceptuales propuestos. A partir de la sociología configuracional de Elias, este estudio busca desandar los procesos sociales que contribuyeron a construir la discusión sobre el cuerpo en un tema nodal de la disciplina. Por medio del desarrollo llegamos a la conclusión de que la centralidad asignada al cuerpo en la formación durante la reforma de la década de 1990, fue resultante de los debates que se fueron dando en la institución a partir de la década de 1960, que modelaron la agenda.

Authors: Arteaga Olleta Alfonso
Published: March 2022

La comunicación efectiva en la relación clínica entre profesionales de la medicina y pacientes facilita aspectos básicos en la relación sanitaria como el correcto diagnóstico del profesional o la adhesión del paciente al tratamiento. Las habilidades de comunicación ayudan a que se dé dicho proceso. La simulación clínica y el debriefing son dos herramientas de gran utilidad para el entrenamiento en habilidades de comunicación. En este trabajo se presenta la evaluación de una experiencia docente consistente en la realización de entrevistas simuladas con alumnado de Medicina. Método: Todo el alumnado de 2.º curso del Grado de Medicina de la Universidad Pública de Navarra (N = 60) participó en ocho entrevistas simuladas en las que los estudiantes interpretaron el papel de médicos, con pacientes simulados por actores. En cada caso se llevó a cabo la entrevista y posteriormente un debriefing en grupos de 10 alumnos. Se evaluó la identificación de las principales habilidades aprendidas, mediante un autoinforme individual; además, se obtuvo su valoración de la actividad mediante un cuestionario de evaluación. Resultados: En el autoinforme, el alumnado señaló entre sus conclusiones los principales conceptos trabajados, reflejando un alto nivel de aprendizaje. Además, mostraron una alta satisfacción y una alta autopercepción de aprendizaje personal. El papel activo del alumnado de Medicina en la simulación de entrevistas clínicas y el posterior debriefing en grupos pequeños son útiles para la adquisición de habilidades de comunicación y para mejorar la autopercepción de eficacia.

Authors: Gomes PJ , Ciolino JB , Arranz P , Hernández G , Fernández N
Published: March 2022

Background and objectives: Bilastine is a nonsedating second-generation antihistamine for the symptomatic treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and urticaria. Our study aimed to evaluate the optimal dose, efficacy, and safety of a newly developed once-daily preservative-free ophthalmic formulation of bilastine for allergic conjunctivitis. Methods: Our phase 2, single-center, double-masked, randomized trial compared the efficacy of 3 doses of a bilastine ophthalmic formulation (0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6%) with that of vehicle for the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis. The primary efficacy endpoint was the reduction in ocular itching. The Ora-CAC Conjunctival Allergen Challenge model was used to assess ocular and nasal symptoms at the onset of action (15 minutes) and at 8- and 16-hours after treatment. Tolerance and safety were also evaluated. Results: A total of 121 adults with seasonal and/or perennial ocular allergy were randomized. Bilastine ophthalmic formulations 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% were significantly superior (P>.001) to vehicle for the treatment of ocular itching at 3, 5, and 7 minutes after challenge at onset of action (15 minutes) and at 8 hours after treatment. Bilastine 0.6% was also effective at 16 hours after treatment. Treatment differences for bilastine 0.6% were statistically significant (P<.001) compared to vehicle at all timepoints for tearing, eyelid swelling, and nasal symptoms. No relevant adverse events were observed. Conclusions: All the tested ophthalmic bilastine doses were efficacious for rapid reduction of ocular itching. The 0.6% formulation was effective up to 16 hours after treatment, making it suitable for once-daily administration. The new formulation was safe and well tolerated.

Authors: Yela E , Sole N , Quintero S
Published: March 2022

Objectives: To establish concordance between transient elastography (TE) and non invasive markers (NIM) APRI and FIB-4 combination in cronic hepatitis C (HC) patients with non-advanced liver fibrosis (NALF). Material and method: Multi-centre retrospective study carried out at two different Barcelona Prisons HC inmates who had the TE done at 2019. We compared the ET vs. NIM results. The NALF consideration was ≤2 (≤12.5 Kilopascal (kPa) in TE). In the NALF cases was calculated de NIM APRI and FIB-4 and the kappa index agreement was established between TE and NIM. Results: 107 cases were included, but only 82 were assessable. The average age was 42 (DS: ±3.2) years. The 96.5% were men, 51.2% spanish, 70.7% drug users and 39% HIV co infected. The 45.1% of those HC infected had genotipe 1. The 90.2% of the evaluated patients by TE the ALD was not detected. The kappa index was 0.78. 65 (79.3%) studied inmates got HC treatment. The 20.7% could not be treated because the evaluation was not completed. Conclusion: Most of the HC infected inmates have no ALD, and in such cases concordance between NIM/TE is substantial. The NIM can be used to shorten the evaluation time and prescribe the treatment faster, especially if the length of stay in prison is short and risk of transmission is high.
A comparative study of serum electrolytes, calcium and phosphorus levels in end stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis
Authors: Pratibha K  , Soumya N
Published: March 2022

End stage Renal Disease (ESRD) represents the terminal stage of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 5 where in there is accumulation of toxins, fluid and electrolytes which are normally excreted by the kidneys resulting in the uremic syndrome which leads to death unless the toxins are removed by renal replacement therapy, using dialysis or kidney transplantation.

To estimate and compare the serum levels of electrolytes, calcium and phosphorus in ESRD patients before and after hemodialysis sessions.

Cross sectional study conducted on 70 ESRD diagnosed patients, aged 30-75years of either gender on maintenance Hemodialysis. Blood samples were collected before and after Hemodialysis, analysed for Serum Electrolytes by semi autoanalyser from Roche. Serum Calcium and Phosphorus using Cobas Integra 400 plus from Roche for which Internal and External Quality Assurance Programmes are maintained. The data obtained was analysed using statistical package SPSS 20 version. The parameters are compared using paired‘t’ test, the test of probability less than 0.05 (P < 0.05) considered as statistically significant.

There is significant decrease in mean serum Potassium, Chloride and Phosphorus, significant increase in serum Calcium and no change in serum Sodium after hemodialysis.

Thus from our study we conclude that monitoring serum electrolytes, calcium and phosphorus have prognostic significance in ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Since ancient times people are aware of the association between tuberculosis and diabetes mellitus. Patients with tuberculosis and diabetes experience worse clinical manifestations, increased risk of treatment failure, recurrence, and death. The present study was conducted to evaluate glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and blood glucose levels, in patients with Type - 2 diabetes mellitus with various forms of tuberculosis who are on RNTCP DOTS and antidiabetic regimens.

The study subjects included Type-2 diabetes mellitus with tuberculosis who are registered under RNTCP DOTS, in Dept of Pulmonology, PESIMSR, Kuppam, Chittoor district. Study groups comprises, 20 cases of type 2 DM WITH TB who are on oral hypo glycemic agents (OHA), 20 cases of Type 2DM WITH TB who are on oral hypoglycemic agents (OHA) with insulin, 20 cases of Type 2 DM WITH TB who are on insulin. HbAc is measured by fully automatic Bio-Rad D10 - HbA1c Analyzer. Blood glucose levels are estimated by auto analyser VITROS 250 in PESIMSR, Kuppam.

The mean HbA1c levels showed good control in those patients kept on insulin alone compared to OHA and OHA with insulin groups (P <0.001). The mean HbAC levels were high in OHA alone group compared to other groups (P<0.001).

The study revealed that increased levels of Glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C) are observed in those patients kept on OHA alone with DOTS as compared with other two groups. There is strong interaction between anti tubercular drugs and OHA which in turn leads to poor glycemic control. Poor glycemic state in diabetic patients is having strong impact on TB treatment outcome.

Published: March 2022

Tobacco has been a prevalent cause of disease burden over India since decades. Gap in awareness among the population leads to use of tobacco, causing a number of deaths across India.

The study aimed at assessing prevalence, attitude, knowledge gap harbouring in the urban population of Maharashtra. Effect of mass media was gauged along with the ability of people to avoid their addiction.

A quantitative, online Google form based Questionnaire survey was conducted in a convenient sample of urban population across Maharashtra. 344 people participated following, the data was analysed using Microsoft Excel.

29.1% (n=100) of the urban population were Tobacco users, most of which having Undergraduate/Postgraduate Educational qualification. 25% (n=61) of Non users didn’t know about the tobacco content in various products. Majority of Tobacco users were aware of the risk of Tobacco use causing heart attacks and also hold an opinion that smoking should be banned in public places. 38% (n=91) Tobacco users felt that there was a lack of impact of Tobacco use on social behaviour. People with different education levels consumed cigarettes/bidis the most.

Higher educated class was found to have a higher conscious decision in Tobacco Usage. The need for Mass media enhancement was felt due to low impact on quitting behaviour. Tobacco was found to have a low impact on socializing, and it's true effects can be studied in future.
Study of serum electrolytes, calcium and magnesium in preeclampsia at a tertiary hospital in central Karnataka
Authors: Savadi Basavaraj V , Nalwarkar Bhagyajyoti , Rashmi B M
Published: March 2022

Preeclampsia(PE) is a hypertensive disorder affecting about 5-14% of pregnancies worldwide and around 20% of high-risk pregnancies, resulting in maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Imbalances in milieu of serum sodium and potassium, that are involved in functioning of vascular smooth muscles, leads to vasoconstriction and hypertension in PE. Calcium deficiency stimulates parathyroid hormone, leading to vasoconstriction. Magnesium regulates blood pressure by monitoring vascular tone and structure. There is scarcity of studies on these factors in PE in central Karnataka.

To estimate levels of serum calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in preeclampsia.

Hospital based cross-sectional study conducted from September, 2020 to February, 2021 at a Tertiary Teaching Hospital in Chitradurga.

60 diagnosed cases of preeclampsia and equal number of age, parity and gestational age matched women with singleton normal pregnancies, attending antenatal clinic or admitted and treated in obstetrics wards of the hospital were included in the study. Clinical examination and laboratory investigations to estimate biochemical parameters were conducted.

Data was analyzed in SPSS V:20. Statistical tests like chi-square and One-way ANOVA test were applied to find the significance of associations.

Hypernatremia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia and hypocalcemia were significant in preeclampsia compared to normal pregnancy group. In severe preeclamptia, highest levels of serum sodium and lowest levels of serum potassium, magnesium and calcium were found compared to the mild PE group.

Timely estimation of serum electrolytes, calcium and magnesium through the course of pregnancy could help in early detection and prompt treatment of preeclampsia and also can prevent the adverse outcomes of pregnancies. Also, dietary restriction of sodium and dietary supplementation of calcium, magnesium and potassium rich foods to the pregnant women and calcium supplementation could reduce the risk of preeclampsia.

Authors: Maldonado-Lozano Manuel Jesús , Gutiérrez-Zornoza Myriam
Published: March 2022

Se ha demostrado que la lectura de cómics, como práctica vernácula e informal, es una herramienta útil para narrar y trabajar sucesos complejos y dolorosos con adolescentes. Los jóvenes en Acogimiento Residencial (AR) han sufrido múltiples vulneraciones de sus derechos, experimentando situaciones de maltrato, con modelos afectivos-destructivos basados en la violencia y falta de empatía, con escasa red de apoyo social, sentimiento de culpabilización y estigmatización, dificultades conductuales, cognitivas, emocionales y de adaptación escolar. El AR no tiene que ser una experiencia traumática per se y si una oportunidad de vida. La lectura de cómics supone una novedosa estrategia de intervención socioeducativa que puede ser muy eficaz para su bienestar. Por ello se han seleccionado y analizado 16 obras que servirán de apoyo a intervenciones socioeducativas, atendido al criterio de temática: historias de maduración protagonizadas por adolescentes que se enfrentan a situaciones problemáticas ante las cuales despliegan estrategias de afrontamiento. Sintetizando su contenido, partiendo de los factores de desarrollo del bienestar de los adolescentes en AR, que tienen que ver con comprender la historia familiar, empoderamiento, reconocimiento familiar-social, autoconcepto-aceptación, afectividad-emociones-amor, autonomía, redes de apoyo social e interpretación del mundo.

Medicalización del manejo de la pandemia en Colombia: la salud pública vuelve a perder
Authors: Idrovo Alvaro J.
Published: March 2022

Hace ya casi medio siglo empezó a hablarse de medicalización, siendo pioneros los trabajos de Thomas Szasz, R. D. Laing y Michael Foucault1. Pese a ello, la medicalización no tiene una única definición, pero sí tiene muy claro que el control social es un elemento fundamental en el concepto. En general se puede decir que cuando se habla de medicalización se hace referencia al control social que se hace al usar el enfoque médico sobre la sociedad que, en casos extremos, puede ocasionar efectos iatrogénicos2, o expresar los problemas sociales en términos médicos3. De esta manera se hacen diagnósticos y se brindan tratamientos, por ejemplo, para problemas sociales tan diversos como la educación, la criminalidad y la economía, fuera del ámbito de la medicina y “naturalizando” (reduciendo a “leyes naturales”) las sociedades.

Published: March 2022

Introducción: el trauma representa la primera causa de mortalidad en edades tempranas en el mundo. Objetivo: analizar la tendencia en la mortalidad debida a lesiones por trauma en Colombia entre 2007 y 2017. Metodología: se trata de un estudio a partir de información oficial del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística (DANE). Incluyó análisis de tendencia de las tasas de mortalidad ajustada por edad y sexo, análisis bivariado para demostrar diferencias de proporciones con la prueba de independencia de ji-cuadrado y un análisis multivariado para calcular la razón de probabilidad (odds ratio, OR) para mortalidad por trauma mediante la regresión logística multivariada. Resultados: se atribuyeron a trauma 214 258 defunciones; 88,2 % ocurrieron en hombres. La tasa media anual de mortalidad fue de 40,9 por 100 000 habitantes: 75,2 en hombres y 9,7 en mujeres. La primera causa de muerte en la población masculina se atribuye a lesiones por arma de fuego (OR multivariado=2,287; IC 95 % 2,217 - 2,358) mientras que en la población de sexo femenino fueron los accidentes de tránsito (OR multivariado= 2,224; IC 95 % 2,163 – 2,286). Conclusiones: en general, la mortalidad por traumatismos fue mayor en los hombres de todas las edades, sobre todo en el grupo de 25 a 29 años (149,5 por 100 000 hombres/año) y los de 30 a 34 años (133,9 por 100 000 hombres) tenían más probabilidades de morir debido a lesiones relacionadas con la violencia.

This article describes the data logging technique for large-scale solar panels system. The input data of the developed data logger can be increased significantly by optimizing the Integrated Circuit (IC) Multiplexer analog input. Multiplexer ICs are suitable for recording parameter data on largescale solar panel systems, which are often called solar panel parks. The data logger system consists of an Arduino microcontroller equipped with a current sensor, a voltage sensor, multiplexer IC, RTC, and an SD card. The obtained data is stored on the SD-card every 5 minutes, in the form of a .txt file with the format of the day, date, time, current value, and the voltage value of each solar panel. The test results show that data acquisition on the solar panel park using a data logger with multiplexer IC has been able to store and display a large number of solar panel data.
Full-time versus Distance Learning of Statistics
Authors: Lukáčová Danka
Published: March 2022

The 2020/21 academic year was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. Universities gradually cancelled full-time teaching and continued in the distance form. The article deals with the comparison of full-time teaching of the subject of Statistics at the University of Constantine the Philosopher in Nitra (Slovakia) and distance education. The results of the research prove that well-managed distance education can, in the case of teaching the subject of Statistics, fully replace the full-time teaching of the subject. At the same time, no significant differences were found in the results of the final didactic test between groups of full-time and part-time students taught distantly.

Online learning is becoming the main teaching method since the COVID-19 pandemic. What happens after the pandemic is over? Will the online education be still going? The schools have implemented online learning systems to replace the current teaching methods to ensure the teaching and learning process keeps going. However, research have found that not all students respond well to fully online learning methods, therefore a blended learning system is needed to facilitate the difference in student performance. This IT blueprint will ensure that an upper secondary school is equipped with the proper IT system for its purposes as well as propose blended learning system where the school will apply both online learning and face-to-face teaching method at the same time to maximize student potential.

Objective: The Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) are specific regions that mainly depend on tourism industry and sector. The pandemic of COVID-19 has strongly affected the tourism management in these areas. In this study, we aim to design and test recovery strategies to represent practical solutions based on the concept of risk perception as a significant issue in the intention and attitude of tourists toward behavior. Methods: In this regard, we use the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to provide an accurate simulation and evaluation to develop a model including four distinct strategies: social distancing, tax reduction policy, travel bubble, and joint strategy. Results: The outcomes indicate that the most efficient way to alter tourism behavior intention and attitude is the travel bubble strategy. Conclusion: Remarkable reduction in tourism arrival could be an advantage to use existing opportunities toward sustainable development plans in the Azores Archipelago as the chosen case study in this study.

The determination of Si, Y, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mg, Cr and Co in the cathodes of the VSDP-11 and VSDP-16 brands based on aluminum by the method of х-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was carried out. The calibration dependences are corrected taking into account the superposition of signals from interfering elements on the analytical signal and changes in intensity caused by inter-element influences in the matrix. A standard-free analysis was carried out using the method of fundamental parameters. The correctness of the results obtained was confirmed by a comparative analysis by atomic emission spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry with a glow discharge.

Authors: Arias Gonzáles José Luis , Muñoz Durán Horacio
Published: March 2022

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo elaborar y validar una escala para medir la capacidad de liderazgo en un entorno de trabajo remoto. La población estuvo conformada por 556 colaboradores de diez empresas de los sectores educación, textil, telecomunicaciones, consultoría y comercio de las regiones de Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, Puno y Tacna en Perú. El instrumento inicialmente estuvo conformado por 29 reactivos, que pasaron por tres etapas: el juicio de expertos, el alfa de Cronbach y el índice KMO (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin) para el análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE). Luego del proceso de validación, el instrumento quedó conformado por 20 reactivos. Como resultado, se obtuvieron una valoración positiva del instrumento por medio del juicio de expertos y una fiabilidad casi perfecta (α = 0,96) a través del alfa de Cronbach; en el caso del análisis factorial exploratorio, se obtuvo la matriz de correlaciones con valores altos en el test de esfericidad de Bartlett (chisq = 8358,716; p-valor = 0 con df = 406; esto indica que los datos son adecuados para el AFE); y la media de suficiencia de la muestra de KMO, cuyo valor fue 0,98, lo que indica que las correlaciones entre las variables y sus correlaciones parciales (29 reactivos) fueron excelentes. Se concluye que esta nueva escala es confiable y válida para ser aplicada en otros estudios en contextos empresariales.
