Myofibroma of the body of mandible: A case report of a solitary lesion
Authors: Khaleghi Abrahim , Dehnashi Nikki , Matthews N S.
Published: September 2024

Myofibromas are rare benign lesions and are often found as solitary entities. The treatment of the lesion is complete excision and the recurrence is rare. A 56-year-old female presented to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic for further evaluation and management of a solitary lesion of the right body of the mandible that was first noticed incidentally by her referring dentist. An incisional biopsy was first performed in the clinic with the diagnosis of myofibroma. The patient was then treated with complete excision of the lesion and extraction of the adjacent teeth. The final biopsy report confirmed the initial diagnosis of myofibroma. Intraosseous solitary lesion of the mandible is a rare lesion with a handful of reported cases. Uniquely, the diagnosis of myofibroma in this 56-year-old is the oldest reported case of myofibroma. There are distinct histopathological features of the lesion that distinguishes this entity from other closely resembling lesions.

Authors: Majumder Dipen , Rastogi Priyanka , Kumar Sachin , Bhardwaj Rudra
Published: September 2024

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a relatively rare, slow-growing low-grade malignant salivary gland tumour with high recurrence. It accounts for 1% of all malignant tumour of the oral and maxillofacial region. A high incidence of cases occurs between the fifth and sixth decades of life. Surgical excision with required radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and combined therapy are possible treatment choices. In this present case, a 36-year-old male patient was diagnosed with ACC on the upper lip. The clinical presentation of this lesion resembled mucocele. There are only a few cases reported of ACC involving the lip. Complete surgical removal was done under local anaesthesia, and post-operative healing was uneventful. After 6 months of follow-up, no sign of recurrence was observed.

Published: September 2024

Background:

Validity of various detection methods used are likely contributing factor to this wide variation of prevalence of HPV (0-73%) by using GP5/GP6/MY09/MY11 (L1) primer. PCR is a sensitive method but does not identify transcriptionally active High-risk Human papillomavirus and also does not indicate whether the virus is isolated from malignant tumour cells and non-neoplastic cells. P16ink4a Immunohistochemistry is a highly sensitive and Cost-effective surrogate marker for transcriptionally active high-risk HPV for oral cancer. Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate the H-SCORE of p16 expression in the surface epithelial tumour sites of a large cohort of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), severe dysplasia (SD). we sought to determine whether the p16 algorithm is reliable in Oral cavity SCC and severe dysplasia (SD).

Materials and Methods:

This study used Immunohistochemistry in archival Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded specimens for assessment of p16 protein expression, cytoplasmic and nuclear staining intensity was categorized based on score (range, 0-3) and presence of tumour cell staining (0-100%).

Results:

The majority of positive cases had low H-score of p16 staining except 3/161 (1.8%) cases of tongue SCC had positive for p16 with diffuse moderate staining with ≥2 scores. There were no significant differences in the distribution of demographic, exposure and histopathological characteristics between patients with and without P16 expression.

Conclusion:

The present study demonstrated that p16 expression is a reliable HPV marker in the lateral border of the tongue with tonsil involvement but no other sites of the oral cavity. Further p16 IHC detection is required in large cohort of all sites of tongue squamous cell carcinoma studies to validate the marker of HPV.

Authors: Buva Kirti , Deshmukh Ajinkya , Gupta Anish , Agrawal Sneh
Published: September 2024

Follicular lymphoid hyperplasia is a rare reactive benign lesion of the oral mucosa. This is also known as pseudolymphoma as the features mimic the malignant counterpart Follicular lymphoma. In present case, a 34 year old male patient came with a nodular swelling in the posterior–lateral left side of tongue. Medical or dental history was non contributory. Swelling was painless, well demarcated, and about peanut sized. The swelling was provisionally diagnosed as either neurilemmoma, mucocele, or traumatic fibroma. Complete excision was performed, and tissue was sent to a private laboratory. Histopathological findings seen were germinal centers having a core of monotonous cells of the same size and demarcated mantle area mimicking the lymphoma. Immunophenotyping revealed diffused positivity for kappa and lambda expressions. CD10 was diffusely positive in germinal centers and BCl 2 was positive in the mantle area while negative in germinal centers. The final diagnosis given was follicular lymphoid hyperplasia. The entity mentioned in the present paper is an unusual variant of the benign lymphoproliferative lesion and very few cases are reported in the tongue area. Thus, it is important to understand the nature of this benign lesion in all aspects to avoid diagnostic dilemmas due to its malignant mirroring characteristics.

Authors: Ramalingam Selvaraj , Kumar K. Arvind , Dhivaakar V. , Santhosh M. S.
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Clavicle fractures make up 5% to 10% of all fractures. They result from direct high-energy trauma to the bone or falls on the lateral side of the shoulder. In recent years, clavicle fractures have become more common, and their surgical treatment has increased proportionally. Therefore, a proper understanding of anatomy, mechanism of injury, and radiographic interpretation form the basis of a good outcome. Fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) will have a good functional and radiological outcome. This study is aimed to evaluate the mid-diaphyseal clavicle fractures treated with ORIF.

Materials and Methods:

In this prospective study, 30 patients who had mid-diaphyseal clavicle fractures according to Allman’s classification underwent ORIF from June 2020 to June 2022. All patients were followed up for 6 months and an assessment of the outcome was done.

Results:

Out of 30 patients treated, overall excellent to good outcomes were obtained in 26 patients. No statistical significance was noted between age, sex, mode of injury, and different method of fixation on functional outcome. Overall, the meantime of the fracture union was 16 weeks. Five patients developed complications in our study, surgical site infection in one patient, shoulder stiffness for two patients, implant failure for one patient, and hardware irritation in one patient.

Conclusion:

Anatomical reduction and stable fixation are essential to good fracture union. It helps in early mobilization of the shoulder, preventing stiffness, and is associated with great patient satisfaction. Earlier the fracture union better the functional outcome.
The Clinical Outcome of Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion and Laminectomy for Single-level Lumbar Canal Stenosis with Grade 1 and 2 Spondylolisthesis
Authors: Sharma Ashok , Suthar Tarachand , Mathur Mudit , Mittal Vishnu , Sharma Shiv Bhagwan , Mehta Gaurav
Published: September 2024

Background:

Lower back pain is a common cause of disability that affects mobility and quality of life in both adult and elderly patients. Initial management of lower back pain includes anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, physiotherapy, and epidural steroid infiltration. Despite multiple attempts of conservative management, if a patient develops refractory radicular pain with or without neurologic deficit and claudication, surgery is indicated. The two main approaches to surgical intervention include decompression (laminectomy only) and decompression with fusion (transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion [TLIF]).

Materials and Methods:

The study was done under the Department of Orthopedics at SRG Hospital, Jhalawar (Rajasthan, India), between May 2019 and November 2022. In this randomized study, we compare the clinical outcome of TLIF and laminectomy for single-level lumbar canal stenosis with Grade 1 and 2 spondylolisthesis. Forty patients with single-level lumbar canal stenosis with Grade 1 and 2 spondylolisthesis were randomly divided into two equal groups. Patients in both the groups were followed up for 2 years.

Results:

In this study, we also noted estimated amount of blood loss, procedure time, time taken for ambulation, length of hospitalization, and demography. The Oswestry Disability Index scores improved significantly postoperatively. The modified MacNab criteria suggest the outcomes rated as excellent/good rate of 90% in TLIF and 85% in laminectomy.

Conclusion:

We evaluated that TLIF procedures are associated with slightly more significant improvement in clinical outcomes in all of the scoring systems that were applied; TLIF provides early ambulation but higher cost of treatment and longer hospital stay compared to laminectomy. Laminectomy procedures are associated with lesser economic burden, lesser hospital stays, lesser blood loss, and shorten surgical duration compared to TLIF.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:

A Barton’s fracture is a compression injury with a marginal shearing fracture of the distal radius. The management of volar Barton’s fractures either by operative or conservative means is a difficult problem. The objective of the study is to assess the functional and clinical outcome of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) by buttress T-plate in the treatment of volar Barton’s fracture of the wrist.

Materials and Methods:

Between March 2019 and January 2022, a total of 20 cases of volar Barton’s fracture were operated at Prasad Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow. Henry’s approach was used to open the fractures and AO system was used to classify the fractures. The cause of injury was road traffic crash in 15 cases and fall in 5. All cases were type B3 with 10 B3.3, 5 B3.2, and 5 B3.1 subtypes. All cases underwent surgery within the 1st week of injury.

Results:

All cases were assessed clinically and radiographically after a mean follow-up duration of 18 months (range 6–36 months). Fracture healed after 7–10 weeks (mean 8.8 weeks). Based on Mayo’s Wrist Score criteria, the results were excellent in 12 cases, good in 6, and fair in 2. Mild osteoarthritis developed secondary to trauma in one case. There was no neurovascular deficit in any of 20 cases.

Conclusion:

ORIF of volar Barton’s fracture with buttress T-plate can restore articular congruity and stability to achieve good results.
Scapular Osteochondroma: A Unique Site in 50 Years Old: An Unusual Case
Authors: Sauhta Ravi , Makkar Dheeraj
Published: September 2024

Osteochondromas are benign bone tumors that mainly affect the metaphysis of long bones. We describe a 50-year-old patient who presented with a ventral scapular osteochondroma that limited her shoulder movement and induced paresthesia during sleep. The swelling was accompanied by pain and an inability to execute her professional obligations for the preceding 4 months. There were no neurological abnormalities. Computed tomography scan revealed a mushroom-shaped mass with cortical and medullary components near the scapula’s lateral angle. We carried out the surgery using the lateral decubitus position, general anesthesia, and the axillary approach. We describe a unique location and age range in which osteochondroma manifests. Because the risk of malignancy grows with age, we underline that osteochondroma should be considered a differential diagnosis in both unusual locations and age groups. Second, patients should be monitored clinically and radiographically following excision.
Demographic-Based Algorithm Used to Predict the Implant Sizing in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Rajan Sunil , Jain Saurabh , Dhosariya Chetan Singh
Published: September 2024

Background:

Prediction of the accurate implant improves preparedness for surgery and helps to reduce intraoperative difficulties. Conventionally, the prediction of implant sizes by preoperative templating is improper owing to a variable degree of accuracy. We correlated patients’ demographic features of gender, weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) with the size of the implants used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) so as to formulate an algorithm between the implant size and these parameters.

Materials and Methods:

Demographic variables from the records of all patients who underwent TKA of the same type were reviewed for gender, weight (in kg), and height (in cm). Intraoperatively, the size of femoral and tibial components was noted and correlated with the demographic variables, and linear regression was used to formulate an equation to predict the sizes depending on demographic variables.

Results:

Two hundred and three primary total knee replacements in 146 patients were included in the study. The mean age, weight, height, and BMI were 66.13 years (range: 46–89 years), 74.69 kg (range: 44–104 kg), 156.078 cm (range: 130–181 cm), and 30.796 kg/cm
2
(range: 18.59–49.88), respectively. The mean size of the femoral and tibial components used was 2.99 (range: 1–5) and 2.52 (range: 1–4), respectively. Both femoral and tibial components correlated significantly with gender, weight, and height only and not with BMI.

Conclusion:

Demographic profiles can predict the component size accurately, and it is a reliable, accurate, inexpensive, time-efficient, and safe means to predict the final implant size.

Authors: Vaidya Narendra , Pawar Gourav S. , Gadekar Anup P , Patil Nilesh A. , Kutemate Pravin Rameshrao , Kolhapure Mohit
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Many analgesic innovations are used to reduce the level of pain post total knee replacement (TKR) surgeries; however, none has been proven to be the optimum choice till now. The use of preemptive analgesia (PA) is still a controversial topic; however, still, it has managed to prevent altered pain perception and pain amplification after surgery. Hence, the objective of this study was to assess the pain score in patients undergoing TKR using different preemptive anesthesia modalities.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 105 patients were enrolled in the study and were equally divided into three groups. Group 1 and Group 2 were given tablet pregabalin 75 mg, tablet paracetamol 1 g, and tablet aceclofenac 100 mg orally 1 day before surgery, and on the day of surgery, before incision, Group 1 received injection paracetamol 1 g and injection dexamethasone 8 mg intravenously; Group 2 received injection paracetamol 1 g, injection dexamethasone 8 mg, injection tramadol 50 mg, and injection MgSo4 1 g intravenously; And Group 3 received only iPACK.

Results:

The average Visual Analog Scale score was the least in Group 2, followed by Group 1 and Group 3 (P < 0.001). The average Ropivacaine dose and postoperative Ropivacaine duration were the least in Group 2, followed by Group 1 and Group 3 (P < 0.001). Patients in Group 2 were able to mobilize early compared to Group 1, whereas patients in Group 3 took more time for mobilization compared to Groups 1 and 2. Tourniquet pain was least in Group 2, followed by Group 1 and Group 3.

Conclusion:

PA was found to reduce the severity of pain and inflammation after knee replacement surgery, resulting in reduced development of chronic pain after surgery. As well significant relief from tourniquet pain was seen, which ultimately helped the patient in early mobilization.
Is your blood bag safe for transfusion? Bacterial screening of donor blood and its components: An essential infection control tool for safe transfusion practice
Authors: Jindal Sonal , Agarwal Saurabh
Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Transfusion-associated bacterial sepsis is still a major public health concern that has received little attention. Data on bacterial contamination of blood are scarce, despite rising demand for blood transfusions. Blood bags intended for transfusion should be free of microorganisms.

Aim:

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence, identify the microorganisms involved in bacterial contamination of donor blood and blood components and determine blood products most likely to be contaminated, received in microbiology laboratory for sterility testing.

Settings and Design:

The study was carried out in the department of microbiology in association with the transfusion medicine department of tertiary care hospital in Western Uttar Pradesh from January 2023 to June 2023.

Methodology:

A total of 87 cellular blood components were tested aerobically for bacterial contamination using the BD BACTEC™ FX 40 automated culture system. For incubation, culture vials that showed positive signals were subcultured onto a set of solid media followed by bacterial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Results:

The overall prevalence rate was 14.9% (whole blood 18.75%, platelets 14.2%, packed cells 13.3% and fresh frozen plasma 10.5%). The contaminants were Aeromonas
hydrophila, Sphingomonas
paucimobilis, Escherichia
coli, Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Delftia
acidovorans, and Candida
albicans.

Discussion:

The bacterial contamination in blood products suggests the patient who receives blood products is at risk of developing infection. Implementing proper blood transfusion policies, donor screening and technical staff training will all help to reduce the contamination rate of blood and blood components.

Conclusion:

Bacterial contamination of blood bags indicates a potential risk of healthcare-associated infection. Microbiological Sterility testing for donor blood bags in blood banks should be used as mandatory infection control Tool for Quality assurance.

Authors: Selvan Jagadesha , Hazra Darpanarayan , Chandy Gina M. , Ganesan Priya
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT

Background:

Drug overdose and organo-phosphorous (OP) poisoning are one of the most common forms of deliberate self-harm (DSH) in our society. Some drugs and OP compounds have well-described electrocardiographic (ECG) manifestations in the event of toxicity. This study aims to determine the clinical implications of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with an alleged history of DSH (drug overdose and/or OP poisoning) presenting to the ED.

Methodology:

We conducted this retrospective study over one and a half years (October 2018 to April 2020). Demographical data, clinical presentations, and ECG findings were extracted from the hospital’s electronic database, coded, and analyzed.

Results:

Our study population included 364 (0.32%) patients with DSH (OP poisoning and drug overdose), of which the majority (n-224; 61.5%) had presented with a drug overdose. The mean age of the cohort was 33.9 (SD: 13.1) years, with a female preponderance (n-222; 60.9%). The most common presenting complaints were vomiting (n-180; 49.5%), other gastrointestinal complaints (n-146; 40.1%), and giddiness (n-122; 33.5%). At the presentation to ED, the majority had a qSOFA ≥2 (n-212; 58.3%). The most common drugs noted to be consumed singly included benzodiazepines (n-42, 11.5%), paracetamol (n-38; 10.4%), and tricyclic antidepressant (n-20; 5.5%). Polydrug intoxication was seen in 68 (18.7%), and co-ingestion with OP was seen in 26 (7.2%) patients. ECG changes (QTc prolongation) were noted in 187 (51.4%: p-value 0.003) patients. All patients were advised to be admitted after initial stabilization and emergency management; however, 73 (20.1%) patients left the ED against medical advice. During their hospital stay, seven (1.9%) patients succumbed to their illness.

Conclusion:

Middle-aged female patients are more prone to DSH, with gastrointestinal complaints as the most common presenting symptom. In patients with drug overdose or OP poisoning, ECG changes (QTc prolongation) were noted in the majority of the study population.

Authors: GÜVEN Büşra
Published: September 2024

The words used for addressing are one of the most basic language elements of daily social life. For a healthy communication, first of all, it is necessary to choose the right addressing expression. When expressions that are not suitable for the addressee and the environment, often purpose of the communication take a backseat. In addition to this, the use of address expressions and gender-declaring words interchangeably poses a problem. In recent years, verbal or written reactions have been shown on social media, websites and among the public to the use of the word lady when addressing or talking about women. However, in order to give a scientific direction to the discussions, it has become a necessity to deal with the subject with an academic examination. In this study, under the leadership of male-female (kadın-erkek) and mr.-mrs./miss (bay bayan) words, the dictionary definitions and usage purposes of words expressing gender or address such as boy-girl (oğlan-kız), gentleman-lady (bey-hanım), gentleman-lady (beyefendi-hanımefendi), female (dişi), slang word for woman (karı), guy, hatun, virility-maiden were evaluated; the correct use of words is explained with examples. As a result of the evaluation, it has been concluded that the above-mentioned words have changed depending on the purpose of addressing or specifying gender. Keywords: Male, Female, Mr., Mrs./Miss, Address.

Authors: AYDOĞDU Müjde , BOYRAZ Zeki
Published: September 2024

Cities are known for their historical elements, economic activities, natural formations, cultural riches, important thinkers, or images of one or more of the religious rituals that come to the fore. This recognition is understood by the effects it leaves on the people coming to the city from outside, and spreads to wider areas with the expressions that the visitor conveys to the people about the city where he goes. The main subject of the study developed with this perspective is to determine the image perceptions of university students coming to Malatya from other cities about the city. The basic data set of the study consists of a 54-question questionnaire conducted on İnönü University students who are studying formally in Malatya. While Statistical Program For Social Science (SPSS) 26.0 program was used in the analysis of the data, ArcGIS 10.7 program was used in the prepared maps. As a result of the analyzes, the most important value of the city of Malatya in terms of the participants was expressed as "apricot". This is an element that supports the image created by the local people of the city of Malatya, which is described as the "apricot capital" by the people and administrators of Malatya. As a result of the findings, Malatya, as an agricultural city and as a historical city, has a high image perception value; ıt shows a low level of image perception in terms of tourism, culture and art, science and technology. Similarly, in terms of participants, the city of Malatya shows a medium level of image perception in terms of transportation facilities, culinary riches, geographical location and educational opportunities; ıt has a low level of image perception in terms of expressions such as social activities, sports facilities, culture and art, sports and entertainment. In addition to these, Malatya shows a high image in terms of expressions that it is a clean city and a calm city, while it stands out as a city with a low level of image perception in terms of modern city and cheap city.

Authors: NARMAMATOVA Topçugül
Published: September 2024

One of the most important functions of the media is to inform the public. Media organizations produce news about events and extraordinary situations in daily life and publish it to the society. Especially sensational news as well as news about crime and punishment, violence, terrorism and privacy have always attracted the attention of the society. For this reason, media institutions frequently publish news about this situation. In particular, when children's exposure to violence and its reflection in the media are considered in terms of legal and ethical principles, it reveals that it is an important issue that needs to be considered and investigated. Violence is a social phenomenon that can be encountered in every part of human life. Oppression, persecution, intimidation, killing, punishment, as well as rebellion and strike, maintain their feature of being a part of daily life in every society. In addition, recent developments in the field of communication and new communication technologies have revealed that violence is much more common in the world than expected, and that people should approach to violence more seriously. The application of this phenomenon to children, who are the future of human beings, is frequently shown in today's media news. Therefore, this study discusses how the children exposed to violence are reflected in the press in Kyrgyz society. The study explored the daily news in the local press through content analysis and examined how children were represented in the press, i.e. in the mass media.

GERMAN OCCUPATİON İN CRİMEA AND ATTİTUDE OF TURKİSH PRESS (1941-1942)
Authors: GÜZAY Aybüke
Published: September 2024

The geography of Crimea has been a region that cannot be shared throughout history, thanks to the advantages offered by its strategic location. Crimean Tatars are one of the ancient nations of this geography. The Crimean Khanate, which was established in the north of the Black Sea after the collapse of the Altınorda State, was occupied by the Russian Tsardom in 1783. Crimea, which has been under the pressure of the Russian tsars since this date, was occupied by the Germans during the First World War. The German occupation, which took place between 21.04.1918 and 16.11.1918, was a hope for the Crimean Tatars to gain their independence. However, the efforts of the Crimean Tatars were inconclusive after the defeat of the Germans and their allies. Crimean Tatars, who were under the pressure and persecution of Soviet Russia between 1923-1940, were hopeful when the Germans re-entered Crimea in 1941. Between 1941 and 1944, they experienced the German occupation, and in this period, they took action again in order to get rid of the pressure of Soviet Russia and gain their independence. In this context, although there are reactions in the Republic of Turkey, there have been many news on the "German Occupation in Crimea" in the Turkish press. Although these news are generally about the course of the war, it is seen that the Turkish press is also divided into two as pro-German and pro-Soviet. Apart from the advantages of the strategic location of Crimea, the attitude of Turkey, which is known to have spiritual ties with the Crimean Tatars, against this invasion is important. This study was written in order to examine the course of the news about the German occupation in the Crimea in the newspapers of the period. In this context, newspapers named Vakit, Tasvir-i Efkâr, Akşam, Ulus, Tan, Today, Cumhuriyet, Türk Sözü, Haber, Son Telegraf, Son Posta were examined. The reflections of the German-Soviet war in Crimea on the Turkish press and how the independence of Crimea was viewed by the Turkish press were tried to be revealed. Keywords: Crimea, German Occupation, II. World War, Turkish Press, Turkey.

The general aim of this study is; to determine whether there is a relationship and interaction between workplace spirituality and organizational climate, and if so, in what direction and to what extent. Method: Workplace spirituality (spirituality) and organizational climate are variables that include individual and organizational factors. In this context, a relational and interactional model was constructed between the two variables of the research. Results: According to the findings, it was determined that there is a low and moderate positive correlation between workplace spirituality and its sub-dimensions and organizational climate and its sub-dimensions (p<0.00 in the range of r=,180; to r=,345). As a result of the interaction analysis between variables, it was concluded that perceptions of workplace spirituality positively affected perceptions of organizational climate at the level of [(β=,474), (p<0.05)] (R2:,224; p: ,000). Discussion: It can be said that there is a one-way point of view in the definitions of workplace spirituality, and perceptions of organizational structure are discussed in terms of organizational climate. It is a factor that should be taken into account that perceptions will be affected by the organizational environment as well as the individual characteristics of the person. In this study, it is possible to say that workplace spirituality can positively affect organizational climate perceptions.

Published: September 2024

The integration of blockchain technology with cloud computing to establish a more secure and transparent Intrusion prevention mechanism. The limitations of traditional Intrusion prevention methods, including security, transparency, and scalability challenges. Blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution to enhance Intrusion prevention and permissions in a tamper-proof and transparent ledger in cloud computing environments. Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize Intrusion prevention in cloud computing by providing a more secure, transparent, and scalable framework. Scalability is an issue since processing many Intrusion prevention transactions on the blockchain might cause network congestion and sluggish processing. Transactions take time to upload to the blockchain, which can delay realtime access choices. It takes skill to integrate and manage blockchain and cloud technologies together. Choosing the correct consensus mechanism affects system efficiency and security. Consider the costs of establishing and maintaining such a system and the difficulty of fixing faults owing to blockchain immutability. In this paper we highlighted the importance of Intrusion prevention in cloud computing, emphasizing the need for secure and transparent management of sensitive data and resources. It also underscores the limitations of traditional Intrusion prevention methods, which can lead to security breaches and unauthorized access. In conclusion, this paper presents a compelling argument for the integration of blockchain technology with cloud computing to establish a more secure and transparent Intrusion prevention mechanism.

Mobbing en las Instituciones de Educación Superior: un análisis desde el discurso social de las mujeres profesionistas en Morelos
Authors: Ramírez González Karen , García Gómez Mauricio Guardiola
Published: September 2024

Este trabajo analiza las violencias que las profesionistas experimentan en las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) en el centro y el oriente de Morelos. Mediante veintiún entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas al personal administrativo, docente y distintas figuras jerárquicas, se obtuvo el discurso social con respecto a tres aspectos: las experiencias laborales que produjeron afectaciones en el desempeño y salud mental de las trabajadoras; los procesos de aceptación de las violencias en el ámbito académico; y, los incentivos detectados en los discursos de las superiores jerárquicas para controlar, disciplinar y extender su autoridad entre el personal femenino. Concluyéndose que, la normalización del mobbing se explica por el temor al despido y la pérdida de ingresos económicos estables; la presencia de profesionistas con experiencias de violencia en distintas agencias de socialización y/o con personalidades tendientes al desarrollo de conductas narcisistas que, mediante premios y castigos, han posibilitado su consolidación como figuras de autoridad.
