Brain Computer Interfacing Based Home Automation- An Assistive Technology for People with Motion Disabilities
Authors: Francis S.V. , Gnanasivam P.
Published: March 2023

This project presents the Smart Home Automation system by sensing Human Brain Attention Level. This system canbe an effective solution to assist older adults and people with disabilities who suffering from speech and motion related troubles to remain at home, safe and comfortable. The system is based on BCI (Brain computer interface) Technique. Over the past years,technology using electroencephalography (EEG) as a means of controlling electronic devices has become more innovative. Today,individual people are able to measure their own brain waves and patterns outside of medical labs and clinics. Furthermore, besides analysing brain signals, these brain signals can be used as a means of controlling everyday electronic devices, which is also known as brain-computer interface.The BCI is anevolving, recent and unique transmission channel between the humanbrainandanexternaldevice such as TV, bulb, fan etc. The human brain wave signal contains the millions of neuron pattern. This pattern interaction isgenerating a thought motion which consists of different type of electrical waves. EEG headset consists of a sensor to sense human attention level which means human focus occurs during intense concentration and directed mental activity. This signal converted into raw datasets through filtering and amplification by designed circuit and transfers to the microcontroller unit (Arduino).The Arduino process the received signal and drive the relay circuit of the device to make ON and OFF automatically. This system can be used by persons with such difficulties.The device can be found most useful by physically - challenged people who can no longer regain control of their limbs due to several factors. This concept can further be modified to use in several other applications for the similar types of people. Thus, the EEG-based Brain computer interface applications can considerably enhance the quality of life for such people.
Ending the invisible work of nurses: Reflection following a study about nursing support of relatives
Authors: Daneau Stéphanie , Bourbonnais Anne , Legault Alain
Published: March 2023

Formerly playing an assistive role motivated by virtue, obedience, and self-denial, nurses are now autonomous professionals with unique expertise, skills, and competencies. However, current recognition of the nursing role is far from optimal and perpetuates the invisibility of nurses’ real work. This article examines one component of the situation: the non-recognition of the nursing role by nurses themselves. Hypotheses explaining this phenomenon, like the history of nursing and the lack of common language, is presented, as well as its impacts, followed by exploration of possible solutions.

Authors: Singh Jagriti , Karandikar Gayatri , Zirpe Kaustubh , Govardhane Balasaheb
Published: March 2023

Carotid Body tumour is an uncommon non-chromaffin paraganglioma arising from chemoreceptor cells at the external and internal carotid artery bifurcation. The reported incidence is 1-2 cases per 1,00,000 population. Surgical excision is extremely difficult and possess challenges to both surgeon and the anaesthetist. We report here a case of CBT excision with the use of cerebral oximetry to reduce the chances of intra-operative cerebral ischemia.
Erythroderma-as a paraneoplastic phenomenon of ovarian adenocarcinoma
Authors: Patil Sanika R. , Milind A. Borkar
Published: March 2023

About 1% of erythroderma cases have a neoplastic or paraneoplastic etiology. But erythroderma secondary to adenocarcinoma of ovary has not yet been reported in the scientific literature to best of our knowledge. A 54-year-old female patient presented to OPD with complaints of reddish itchy scaly lesions over body since 2 months. Based on history and examination, contact dermatitis was considered as provisional diagnosis. Patient was started on prednisolone, cyclosporine and topical corticosteroids which led to partial improvement of the skin lesions. But the lesions recurred and involved almost entire body surface area after 15 days of stopping the medications by the patient. This instigated further evaluation of the patient. All routine lab investigations were within normal limits. Skin biopsy showed mixed inflammatory infiltrate. USG abdo-pelvis detected right ovarian mass. Serum CA 125 was found to be raised. This leads to the suspicion of internal malignancy. Staging laparotomy was done. Tissue biopsy revealed high grade serous papillary cyst adenocarcinoma of right ovary. Thus, final diagnosis of paraneoplastic erythroderma secondary to ovarian adenocarcinoma was made. Patient responded well to corticosteroids after total abdominal hysterosalphingo-oophorectomy and chemotherapy in due course of time of 4 months. Hence, we conclude, erythroderma patients with unclear etiologies should be thoroughly evaluated. This will lead to timely diagnosis and treatment leading to better prognosis.

Effective Carbon Rates on Energy Use in Latin America and the Caribbean: Estimates and Directions of Reform
Authors: Ahumada Hildegart , Espina-Mairal Santos , Navajas Fernando , Rasteletti Alejandro
Published: March 2023

This paper estimates effective carbon rates (ECRs) on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from energy use for 18 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. We follow a methodology developed by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as this allows us to compare ECR estimates for LAC countries with those for other countries in other regions. We also adapt the OECD methodology to assess the effect of energy subsidies on ECRs. The results obtained indicate that ECRs were low in LAC countries in 2018. On average, LAC countries priced carbon emissions from energy use at 24 euros per ton of CO2 equivalent (EUR/tCO2e) emissions, while the average pricing in OECD countries was 41 EUR/tCO2e. When considering energy subsidies, the average ECR in LAC falls to 17 EUR/tCO2e. The difference in average carbon pricing observed between LAC and the OECD is, for the most part, explained by lower excise taxes in LAC and, to a lesser extent, to few LAC countries having carbon taxes and the lack of tradable carbon emission permit mechanisms. We also find a large heterogeneity of ECRs across LAC countries as well as across sectors within countries. ECRs are the highest in Costa Rica and the lowest in Ecuador. At the sector level, ECRs are on average the highest in the road transport sector and the lowest in the electricity sector and in the residential and commercial energy use sector. These differences stem mostly from the different taxation of the different energy products. The ECR estimates suggest that countries willing to introduce carbon pricing reforms must pay particular attention to reducing fuel energy subsidies and to increasing ECRs in sectors other than road transport, as these sectors constitute a large share of carbon emissions and are virtually untaxed.

Medical Aspect of Tobacco Smoke's Adverse Effects on Human Health
Authors: Eskandar Kirolos
Published: March 2023

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is an annual rate of 7 million deaths because of tobacco use, and this rate is expected to step up to 8 million deaths in 2030 by virtue of smoking-related health complications. Furthermore, it is pathetic to know that almost more than 23% of high school students use tobacco, which if continued at the current rate; about 5.6 million teenagers would be vulnerable to death as mentioned by the World Health Organization. On the other hand, smokers do not only harm themselves but also increase the incidence of pneumonia, asthma, and bronchitis for passive smokers, which by the way contribute to the development of lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, infant death syndrome and slow-growing lung cancer are prevalent in children with continuous exposure to second-hand smoke. These adverse effects emerge from the complex mixture of chemicals present in submicron-sized particles suspended in cigarette smoke like carbon monoxide, benzene, nitrogen oxides, and other gases. Thus, it seems that tobacco smoking has been spreading worldwide as an epidemic with devastating lethal disorders represented in diverse pulmonary, neurological, and cardiovascular-related diseases. Wherefore, this paper discusses the harmful effects of tobacco smoke on human health in accordance with the modern advanced genetic technologies used in exploratory investigations for the relation between smoking and the emergence of human diseases.

Introducción: las universidades son centros de trabajo y gestores de cambio que pueden contribuir a la formación de comunidades saludables mediante intervenciones, como la promoción de la alimentación saludables, las cuales pueden tener efectos más allá de la individualidad.
Objetivo: indagar los efectos individuales, sociales e institucionales del programa educativo Alimentación como estilo de vida saludable, desde el punto de vista de los participantes para proponer acciones en favor de una vida saludable en una universidad.
Materiales y métodos: estudio cualitativo de caso único realizado con docentes de la Universidad Veracruzana que asistieron al curso-taller Alimentación como estilo de vida saludable. Se utilizó un muestreo teórico discriminado y se establecieron como atributos el sexo y el área académica. Los datos se obtuvieron mediante entrevista episódica y observación directa selectiva. 
Resultados: el curso propició efectos positivos en las dimensiones personal, social e institucional, como el desarrollo de aptitudes para el auto-cuidado, la cohesión social, la creación de redes saludables y el reconocimiento de la promoción de la salud como eje integral de la vida. Sin embargo, aspectos de la cultura alimentaria y las condiciones laborales influyen negativamente en la intención de las personas por cuidar su salud y generan tensiones.
Conclusiones: el curso permite gestar intenciones de cambio y aptitudes personales para la alimentación saludable, pero es insuficiente para consolidar los cambios, dado que el entorno social y, principalmente, el laboral influyen de manera negativa. Se requieren acciones que consideren la cultura alimentaria, el entorno físico y las condiciones laborales de los docentes.

Authors: Frolova Elena , Rogach Olga , Ostrovskii Anton , Savinkov Vladimir
Published: March 2023

The research problem lies in the low involvement of local residents in the processes of developing the tourist attractiveness of the territories, insufficient support for the initiatives of the authorities to develop domestic tourism. The authors in their study set the goal - to study the possibilities and barriers to attracting representatives of local communities to the development of tourism. The key research method is a questionnaire survey of the population (N=732). The results of the study showed that the presence of social alienation in the interaction of the government and the population, as well as a low level of trust in local governments significantly limit the practice of involving residents in the development of tourist attractiveness of the territory. Additional barriers are the following: information vacuum of the local community on the development of domestic tourism; organizational and legal dysfunctions of business support. There is a need provision of legal and organizational support to active representatives of the local community, subsidizing, reducing the tax burden, grant support.

Published: March 2023

Esta pesquisa tem como foco um dos ambientes estratégicos para o fortalecimento dos micro e pequenos empreendimentos: as incubadoras de empresas de base tecnológica. Desta maneira, o presente estudo possui como objetivo analisar o grau de maturidade das incubadoras de base tecnológica dos Institutos Federais (IFs). Foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, utilizando como procedimento a análise de casos múltiplos, tomando-se como norteador o estudo das oito vertentes do grau de maturidade de incubadoras desenvolvido pela Fundação Centros de Referência em Tecnologias Inovadoras (CERTI) em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC). Das dez incubadoras dos IFs associadas à ANPROTEC, nove responderam à pesquisa. Observou-se que as incubadoras dos IFs obtiveram uma avaliação melhor que as analisadas pelo CERTI em seis vertentes, a saber: Rede de Parceiros, Serviços de Desenvolvimento Empresarial, Acompanhamento da Evolução das Incubadas, Posicionamento Regional, Atração de Empreendimentos e Governança. Enquanto que as incubadoras do estudo CERTI obtiveram índice maior nas vertentes Modelo de Sustentabilidade e Gestão. Igualmente, observou-se que ambas apresentaram como vertente de menor pontuação a relativa aos seus modelos de sustentabilidade. Tal fato justifica-se, pois em ambos os casos a maioria das incubadoras informaram possuir grande dependência dos recursos das mantenedoras.

Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar como ocorrem os conflitos de interesse entre agente e principal no Conselho Nacional de Previdência Social-CNPS. Para atingi-lo, foram coletadas 11 atas das reuniões, relativas ao período de julho de 2015 a julho de 2016. As informações coletadas foram organizadas em uma planilha, compreendendo o dia da reunião, os principais assuntos tratados e que geraram maior debate. Utilizou-se a categorização dos dados como método, que permitiu analisar as medidas adotadas e as propostas para a resolução de conflitos. Os dados mostraram que os conselheiros possuem conhecimento dos assuntos e formas cabíveis de solucioná-los, porém demonstram fragilidade na cobrança das soluções. Ademais, muitas propostas ficam sem parecer, dando a entender ação oportunista do presidente em voltar as atenções ao que lhe interessa. Isso demonstra falhas a sanar, para que melhores resultados possam emergir, identificando estes como peças-chaves para o bom andamento das entidades previdenciárias.

Public Libraries and Health Promotion Partnerships: Needs and Opportunities
Authors: Lenstra Noah , Roberts Joanne
Published: March 2023

Objective – Across North America, public libraries have increasingly served their communities by working with partners to connect patrons to essential healthcare services, including preventative. However, little is known about the extent of these partnerships, or the need for them, as seen from the perspective of public library workers. In this study, we set out to address the following research question: What needs and opportunities are associated with health promotion partnerships involving public libraries?
Methods – Using snowball sampling techniques, in September 2021, 123 library workers from across the state of South Carolina in the United States (US) completed an online survey about their health partnerships and health-related continuing education needs; an additional 19 completed a portion of the survey.
Results – Key findings included that library capacity is limited, but the desire to support health via partnerships is strong. There is a need for health partnerships to increase library capacity to support health. Public libraries already offer a range of health-related services. Finally, disparities exist across regions and between urban and rural communities.
Conclusion – As an exploratory study based on a self-selecting sample of public library workers in a particular state of the US, this study has some limitations. Nonetheless, this article highlights implications for a variety of stakeholder groups, including library workers and administrators, funders, and policy makers, and researchers. For researchers, the primary implication is the need to better understand, both from the public library worker’s perspective and from the (actual or potential) health partner’s perspective, needs and opportunities associated with this form of partnership work.
Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming Populations Experience Unique Challenges in Health Information Environment Developed for Heteronormative Audience
Authors: Shen Lisa
Published: March 2023

A Review of:
Tenny, C. S., Surkan, K. J., Gerido, L. H., & Betts-Green, D. (2021). A crisis of erasure: Transgender and gender-nonconforming populations navigating breast cancer health information. The International Journal of Information, Diversity, & Inclusion, 5(4), 132–149. https://doi.org/10.33137/ijidi.v5i4.37406 
Objective – To understand the lived experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming populations in seeking health information about breast cancer.
Design – Thematic literature review.
Setting – Four English-language databases featuring clinical, patient engagement, and library and information sciences (LIS) research.
Subjects – Twenty-one published articles.
Methods – The researchers chose three concepts (trans, LGBTQ+, and breast cancer), identified related terms for each, and used these terms to conduct literature searches in four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Library Literature & Information Science Full Text, and Library, Information, Science & Technology Abstracts. Search results were reviewed for relevance to the research objective. The researchers applied grounded theory to analyze the 21 selected articles through open, axial, and selective (thematic) coding. The qualitative research software NVivo was used to perform thematic analysis of each article, and a shared codebook was developed to ensure saturation of axial themes and consistency of coding amongst researchers.
Main Results – Three overarching themes emerged from selective coding that exemplify experiences of transgender and gender-nonconforming persons seeking health information about breast cancer: access, erasure, and quality. Compared to their cisgender peers, these historically marginalized populations and their caregivers experience more difficulty accessing the already limited breast cancer information, healthcare, and support services suited to their needs. In particular, transgender and gender-nonconforming patients are often burdened with choosing between receiving health information and care designed for heteronormative persons and risking self-disclosure and possible discrimination by culturally incompetent health professionals.
Conclusion – The researchers noted the alarmingly limited resources available for gender-nonconforming patients seeking information and support for health matters other than mental health or sexually transmitted diseases. The researchers also called for increased efforts by LIS curriculums and professionals to study and understand the needs of transgender and gender-nonconforming patrons, and to improve the quality and quantity of information resources specifically dedicated to these unique populations.
Marketing Education Renaissance Through Big Data Curriculum: Developing Marketing Expertise Using AI Large Language Models
Authors: Sood Suresh , Pattinson Hugh
Published: March 2023

Utilising big data sources and artificial intelligence (AI) tools with marketing activities and analysis contrast with questionnaires and small n observations, essentially creating a renaissance in marketing education. As a result, marketing education keeps pace with AI developments and ensures learners (or students) prepare for the demands of the modern marketing landscape 2025-30. The authors advocate a central focus on a big data-driven marketing curriculum for marketing education. Such a curriculum places AI and machine learning center stage to help understand, analyze and utilize large and complex marketing datasets for predictive marketing. In doing so, the potential exists for practitioners to link marketing strategy directly with marketing execution, allowing learners to use big data and AI for upstream strategy design and marketing plan development while downstream predicting the results of marketing campaigns, programs, and initiatives But necessary changes in pedagogy are creating adaptive learning experiences breaking free from traditional assessments In our model of learning educators enable the development of practical marketing expertise using the techniques and tools of micro-testing to nudge learners using Python data science notebooks. Overall, a renaissance in marketing education is made possible with a focus on a big data AI tools-driven curriculum. Such attention ensures learners prepare for the demands of the modern marketing landscape, moving well beyond marketing analytics using the AI technologies of Large Language Models, further expanding the use of big data Learners use role play, witnessing firsthand experiences fulfilling new hitherto emerging marketing roles By 2025, Educators fostering a big data AI-focused marketing education curriculum ensure the next generation of AI marketers will eagerly shape the future of marketing practice and behavior with new roles combining human work with AI.

Published: March 2023

Background: Freshwater is not only a finite resource but also essential for agriculture, industry and even human existence. The present investigation on seasonal water quality parameters was conducted in the remnants of old channel of river Jia Bharali called as Mara Bharali at Tezpur in the Sonitpur district of Assam from December, 2017 to November, 2020. Methods: Five sampling stations were selected that covers a stretch of 16.5 km. Physico-chemical parameters were determined seasonally by following the standard methods of APHA (1998) and Trivedy et al., 1987. The statistical analyses of the data were done by one way ANOVA using Statistical Package for Social Scientists. Result: TDS in monsoon in all the locations remained lowest (171.33a±3.059 mg/L at MB2) and highest in winter (320.11c±2.441 mg/L at MB3). The pH value is within the permissible limit except for site MB4 during the winter and post monsoon when the values were 6.38±0.146 and 6.44±0.039 respectively. Maximum DO of 7.878d±0.074 mg/L was observed at site MB1 during the winter season and minimum DO of 5.444a±0.047 mg/L was observed at site MB4 during the monsoon season. BOD was recorded below the tolerance limit of 3 mg/L in all sampling stations.
Exploring the motivations, challenges, and barriers for implementing evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) in general practice
Authors: Haddock Laura , Baillie Sarah , Sellers Ellie , Warman Sheena
Published: March 2023

An evidence-based veterinary medicine (EBVM) training resource, ‘EBVM Learning’, was created in 2015 and updated in 2019. Following feedback from users, it was decided that a more concise practitioner-focused version was needed.
Seven online focus groups, with a total of 22 veterinary practitioners, explored the motivations of practitioners to engage with EBVM. They considered the challenges and barriers to implementing EBVM in practice, and specific supportive measures they felt would increase adoption of EBVM in practice. Participants identified time, support from colleagues and management, and accessing and appraising evidence as being the most important challenges and barriers to the use of EBVM in general practice. However, the value of EBVM was appreciated, and there was an appetite amongst the participants to utilise more EBVM to inform their clinical decision-making.
At a workshop attended by experts in EBVM, educators and practitioners, the results of the focus groups were presented and discussed to inform the development of a new online training resource.
This study has been used to produce ‘EBVM for Practitioners’, to attempt to reduce some of the barriers and challenges faced by practitioners and support them in increasing their use of EBVM. Further work by the leaders in the veterinary profession will be needed to expand and improve the quality of the evidence base on which EBVM relies, and to ensure practitioners have the skills, access, and motivation to utilise it.

Published: March 2023

This document shows the results of an analysis of the reflections expressed by university professors and authorities from eight Latin American countries who participated in the two editions of an international diploma course. This course is a product of the collaboration between the Union of Latin American University Social Responsibility and the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo, whose main focus was the analysis of the impact of teaching on sustainable development.
The study was developed from a mixed-method approach. Through a content analysis, more than 410 contributions made by those who participated in the diploma course were qualitatively analyzed and, subsequently, a frequency analysis was carried out to quantify them in terms of the areas and goals of the University Social Responsibility Model proposed by URSULA.
The paper concludes by pointing out that university teaching should be revalued in terms of its contribution to sustainable development, since through its exercise, the social relevance of professional training is materialized through the development of practices and contents that bring students closer to the economic, social and environmental reality in which they live.
Keywords: University teaching, Ethics, Sustainable Development, Social Responsibility, Latin America.
Evaluación de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria: una revisión sistemática de literatura
Authors: Santana Murcia Andrés Rodrigo
Published: March 2023

University Social Responsibility (USR) has been consolidated in recent decades as the management's paradigm of XXI the century university (Vallaeys, 2014; Coppa, 2011; Villar, 2009). There are many works that have tried to approximate a general definition; others have analyzed the implementation of RSU initiatives in different contexts, as a contribution to their interpretation and study; and some more have proposed evaluation schemes of the perceptions and practices of USR in Institutions of Higher Education (HEI) of different latitudes. This paper examines the advances in the evaluation of USR because of its importance for self-diagnosis and the generation of continuous improvement processes in the missionary functions of education, research, internationalization, and extension. Based on the systematic literature review (SLR) and content analysis, a summary of the most relevant publications is presented, highlighting the most representative meeting points. There were identified as main trends the use of perception questionnaires, the adaptation of the GRI indicators and the analysis of reports, web pages and management reports. Finally, conclusions are offered about the state of knowledge and some recommendations for the development of new research in this field.

A literature review was performed following Arksey & O’Malley’s scoping review design. Results show that most studies have been published in Latin America, in Spanish and address the concepts, teaching and problems related with USR. The literature review shows the USR concept has incorporated a myriad of dimension, particularly integrating environmental care. Even though most studies were qualitative, diverse methodological approaches were employed, so that there is no consensus on what is defined as the most relevant. The USR evaluation within universities should be based on empirical data that allows for decision making in terms of teaching, research and outreach, considering that the current social issues demand solutions based on URS principles and a joint effort from universities, communities and other sector.

Responsabilidad Social Universitaria y ciudadanía democrática: la apuesta de formación para el compromiso público con las diversidades
Authors: Stojnic Chávez Lars
Published: March 2023

This article analyzes whether the university experience would influence a greater disposition of the students to commit to the protection of freedoms and public coexistence among diverse subjectivities, fundamental aspects of democratic coexistence. It connects the commitment of the University Social Responsibility approach to challenge the university as a social institution that contributes to the formation of critical, empathic and committed citizens. What is presented is the product of the collection of information (both quantitative and qualitative) about the experience of a subject in a Peruvian university and the analysis of its learning strategies aimed at encouraging students to be actively involved in the design and implementation of reflection-action proposals on a particular social problem. The results show that the experience in the subject would have a positive and significant effect on increasing the willingness of students to recognize the importance of participating publicly in favor of the protection of the rights of social minorities. Therefore we look to contribute in the discussion about the distinctive character of social responsibility in university settings, particularly with regard to strengthening a democratic public ethic.

The Educational Model of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH) is oriented to the kind of university students that we want to model in their educational process. One of the structural dimensions of this Educational Model is Social Responsibility (Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo [UMSNH], 2020). This article aims to present the perception of   RSU for its acronyms in spanish and sustainability in university students. For this, a digital survey based on the instrument (Likert Scale perception questionnaire) by Casillas (2018), with a total of 30 items, to a sample of 90 students (95% confidence level) and a margin error of 5% was applied in the month of May 2021. The study was limited to students cursing the Foreign Trade career located in the Lázaro Cárdenas city UMSNH Professional Unit. Among the main findings, there is a positive perception about the sustainability and social responsibility knowledge they have acquired. However, they also perceive the lack of involvement and promotion of sustainable projects as well as little interaction with social actors in the area.

Authors: Bahamondes Masafierro Osvaldo Javier
Published: March 2023

Corporate social responsibility is a responsible and ethical method to carry out actions and make decisions and poses a tremendous importance in all aspects of social development and it is constantly being scrutinized on account of the demands of modern life. It is for this reason that this document intends to explore about the current teaching of corporate social responsibility as a subject of study as well as its implementation on the different majors across the universities in Chile. The most salient conclusion was the observation of a scarce practical concern with the subject matter, if only a mere declaration of good intentions, which rarely see fruition, and those few who do go far from its theoretical roots. Both the theoretical and pedagogical implication of the study of corporate social responsibility, allow for an open debate about the importance of the subject along with the urge of teaching across the board to all future Chilean professional of a responsible socially-committed business model which overlooks social, economic and environmental sustainability.
