Large ulcerated hemangioma treated with topical timolol drops
Authors: Sethi Jagjeet Kaur , Syiemlieh Abigail
Published: February 2024

Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are the most common benign tumors of infancy and undergo spontaneous remission by about four to five years of age. Usually, only superficial and uncomplicated hemangiomas are treated by topical timolol while larger and complicated hemangiomas require oral propranolol or corticosteroids. Uncommonly reported in the literature is that even larger complicated IHs on low-risk sites can be treated with timolol drops locally. Our case is unique, as we treated a large ulcerated IH with oral and topical antibiotics and only topical timolol drops with rapid and complete resolution of symptoms.
Use of five-day chronomodulated prescription of palbociclib as myelopreservation drug along with Topotecan in recurrent extensive stage small cell lung carcinoma - A perspective article
Authors: Gharote Mukul Arvind
Published: February 2024

Myelopreservation is always a good option when prescribing myelotoxic chemotherapy like Topotecan. Bone marrow toxicity is one of the main hindrances in prescribing such chemotherapy. Cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6 inhibitors) are known to inhibit the Cell cycle in the G1-S phase. Inhibition of hematopoietic stem cells was the reason for CDK4/6 inhibitor – trilaciclib to be prescribed with Topotecan as a myelopreserving agent. Trilaciclib is an intravenous CDK4/6 inhibitor with a short half-life and can be co-prescribed with chemotherapy. Trilaciclib is currently not available in India. We propose the use of palbociclib, an oral CDK4/6 inhibitor, for the same indication. We suggest the use of a short course of palbociclib for five days, along with chemotherapy, as a myelopreserving agent. We also propose to chronomodulate the dose to maximize the effect.

Authors: Babu Hemapriya Jayaranga , Meena Suneeta , Singh Upinder , Bharti Ginni , Chopra Parul
Published: February 2024

Objectives:

Children are most frequently affected by urinary tract infections (UTIs). Urine dipsticks along with use in urine routine testing can help in predicting UTI. In this study we aim to evaluate the utility of individual and combination of urine dipstick parameters, including nitrite and leukocyte esterase (LE), against gold standard urine culture for detection of UTI among pediatric outpatients.

Materials and Methods:

Nine hundred and forty-nine pediatric urine samples from January 2021 to December 2021 were cultured on Cysteine Lactose Electrolyte Deficient Agar and incubated at 37°C overnight. Siemens Multistix 10SG strips were used to perform a urine dipstick for urine markers. Results from the urine dipstick and culture were contrasted.

Statistical Analysis:

Data obtained in the study was analyzed statistically using stata version 15. Diagnostic performance of urine dipstick parameters was assessed taking urine culture as gold standard. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was plotted.

Results:

About 153 of the 949 urine samples received for culture were positive. Males comprised 102 of the 153 positive patients. The most common organism isolated was Escherichia coli, followed by Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, and Proteus. LE, nitrite, red blood cells (RBC), and protein had a sensitivity of 77.1%, 64.7%, 45.1%, and 46.4%, respectively, whereas their specificities were 94.5%, 97.2%, 95.9%, and 93.1%, respectively. When taken together, “LE and Nitrite and RBC and Protein” had a lower area under the curve (AUC) of 0.641, whereas “LE/Nitrite/RBC/Protein” had the highest AUC of 0.914.

Conclusions:

The urine dipstick test may be utilized as a screening tool and a positive predictor for UTI. When evaluated simultaneously, nitrite and LE can be used as point-of-care tests preceding the culture examination for decision-making. They can aid in the optimized management of children by minimizing UTI-related complications and inappropriate antibiotic use.
How dynamics changes ammonia cracking on iron surfaces
Authors: Perego Simone , Bonati Luigi , Tripathi Shivam , Parrinello Michele
Published: February 2024

Ammonia is a promising hydrogen carrier, being rich in hydrogen and ease of transport. However, a microscopic characterization of the ammonia cracking reaction is still lacking, hindered by extreme operando conditions. Leveraging state-of-the-art molecular dynamics, machine learning potentials, and enhanced sampling methods, we offer an atomistic view of the adsorption, diffusion, and dehydrogenation processes of NHx (x=1, 3) on two representative surfaces at operando temperature of 700 K. Dynamics pervasively affects all steps of decomposition, including on the stable (110) surface where the high mobility of reaction intermediates affects the reactivity. The role is even more dramatic on the (111) surface, where the mobility of Fe surface atoms introduces new adsorption sites and alters the dehydrogenation barriers. In both cases, a detailed analysis of reactive events shows that there is never a single transition state, but it is always an ensemble composed of at least two pathways. Notwithstanding, a unified mechanism can be identified by following the charge transfer along the different reaction pathways.

Authors: Chillal Abhinay , Bhawale Rajesh , Kshirsagar Umesh
Published: February 2024

In this report, we disclose an electrochemical approach for the C(sp2)-H selenylation of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines at room temperature. The reaction takes place within an undivided cell employing graphite electrodes, with TBABF4 acting as the supporting electrolyte. This technique offers a rapid, oxidant as well as halogen free, and environmentally conscious protocol for achieving regioselective selenylation specifically at the C3 position of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines. Key attributes of this methodology include its atom economy, mild reaction conditions, short reaction time, utilization of cost-effective electrode materials, reliable achievement of yields ranging from good to excellent, and an environmentally friendly reaction condition.
Ni-catalysed acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatisation of cyclohexanone derivatives enabled by concerted catalysis specific to supported nanoparticles
Authors: Matsuyama Takehiro , Yatabe Takafumi , Yabe Tomohiro , Yamaguchi Kazuya
Published: February 2024

The dehydrogenative aromatisation of cyclohexanone derivatives has had a transformative influence on the synthesis of aromatic compounds because functional groups can be easily introduced at desired positions via classic organic reactions without being limited by ortho-, meta- or para-orientations. However, research is still limited on acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatisation, especially with regard to nonprecious-metal catalysts. Ni is a promising candidate catalyst as a congener of Pd, but thermally Ni-catalysed dehydrogenative aromatisation has not been reported even in an oxidative manner because of the difficulty of β-hydride elimination and the fast re-insertion of Ni–H species. Here, we report a CeO2-supported Ni(0) nanoparticle catalyst for acceptorless dehydrogenative aromatisation of cyclohexanone derivatives. This catalyst is widely applicable to various compounds such as cyclohexanols, cyclohexylamines, N-heterocycles, enamines and N-alkyl piperidones. Through various experiments, we demonstrate that the present reaction was achieved by the concerted catalysis utilizing metal ensembles unique to supported metal nanoparticle catalysts.
Narrowband Green Thermally-activated Delayed Fluorescence Emitters Based on Bis-fused Indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole with Peripheral Donor Decoration
Authors: Zhang Ke , Wang Pingping , Cao Yuan , Song Yongjun , Xiu Yue , Li Yibo , Ren Hao , He Lei , Zhang Dongdong , Duan Lian
Published: February 2024

Fused indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (fICZ) framework has emerged as a new paradigm for developing narrowband emitters, but red-shifting the emission and triggering reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) for thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) have remained challenges. Here, narrowband green TADF emitters based on a fICZ framework are reported with a peripheral donor decoration strategy. By attaching electron-donating diphenylamino-type groups onto the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-dominating positions of bis-fused indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole, the HOMO is largely destabilized and the emission is markedly red-shifted (by > 70 nm) with retained narrow bandwidth. In toluene solution, the emitters show green emission with emission maximums at 500−523 nm and small full-widths at half maximums at 26−28 nm. Importantly, the donor decoration narrows the singlet-triplet energy gap and introduces a higher-lying long-range charge-transfer triplet state having considerable spin-orbital coupling with the emissive singlet state, which behaves as an intermediate triplet state to facilitate RISC. In doped films, the emitters show efficient narrowband green TADF emission. Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using the emitters afford green emission close to the NTSC standard and high external quantum efficiencies up to 24.7%, which are among the most efficient solution-processed narrowband green OLEDs.
Primate Enrichment Categories: A Literature Review of Current Trends
Authors: Richardson Samuel
Published: February 2024

Environmental enrichment aims to enhance primate wellbeing by providing physical and mental stimuli to address the biological and psychological needs of individuals. However, lack of knowledge regarding the development of enrichment research hampers implementors and future inquiries. Therefore, a collection of data from 227 peer-reviewed and freely available articles on primate enrichment (published from 1978 to 2019) was performed to present enrichment trends and outcomes through descriptive statistics. Behavior was the most recorded parameter (n=203), whereas physiological data were reported less frequently (n=20). Feeding enrichment (n=87) and tactile enrichment (n=62) were the most investigated enrichment categories, while other categories, such as olfactory enrichment (n=5) gained less attention. A total of 71 primate species were recorded across zoological (n=57), laboratory (n=22), and unspecified (not stated) research settings (n=5), with laboratory environments being predominant (n=135) over zoological environments (n=87). Notably, a substantial majority of published articles (>99%) achieved their initial research rationale, which represents a potential publication bias. To advance our understanding of enrichment welfare benefits and the specific relevance of individual enrichment methods to different primate species and taxa, a comprehensive meta-analysis incorporating all peer-reviewed primate enrichment research is crucial. Subsequent primate enrichment studies should prioritize the investigation of underrepresented enrichment categories, species, and environmental conditions, thus fostering a more comprehensive understanding of how environmental enrichment impacts primate welfare.

Background Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease that chiefly affects children under five years of age. The government of India launched the pulse polio immunization PPI program in 1995. India received lsquoPolio free certificatersquo from WHO on 27th March 2014. Even after 27 years of initiation of this programme the awareness among common man regarding poliomyelitis is inadequate. As the polio is in its eradication phase awareness about the features of polio disease and the reason for PPI is diminishing as it has become a routine process. Therefore any new polio infection can become an epidemic without any awareness about it. Objective To assess the perception of people towards polio and PPI in an underprivileged area of Bangalore.Methodology This cross-sectional study was done in early January 2022 prior to the PPI round conducted in February-March 2022 in underprivileged field practice area of Bangalore Medical College.Results Majority of the participants were unaware of poliomyelitis disease and its mode of transmission. Majority were aware about PPI Pulse Polio Immunisation age group of polio vaccination and the main source of information for the participants was television and health workers. About 34th of the individuals were unaware of the purpose of PPI.Conclusion The awareness on polio vaccination in underprivileged population is due to the involvement of health care workers NGOs and publicity in multimedia outlets such as television. But there was a lack of awareness about the features of polio disease and the purpose of the immunization which should be addressed.

This study analyzes and explores the associated problems with weighting, aggregating variables and combining groups of parameters that control the water resources vulnerability. The Fez-Meknes basin suffers from overexploitation and the groundwater level continue to decline. The assessment of territorial vulnerability to water scarcity and climate variability is a necessity to spatially delimit the areas likely to be affected. The vulnerability factors of water resources do not have equal impacts of vulnerability. The aim of this research is to identify, with experts in water resources management and the literature, a set of relevant factors and determine the relative contribution of each factor in the vulnerability assessment. To achieve this goal, we have developed a model that combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, geographic information systems, and expert opinions to define and weigh the vulnerability factors of water resources in the Fez-Meknes basin. The study finding indicate that 21 indicators, categorized into 4 dimensions (Water Resources, Demographic-Socioeconomic, Infrastructure, and Environment), are likely to impact the state of water resources in the study area. The factor groups of Water Resources and Demographic-Socioeconomic have the highest values at 0.47 and 0.28, respectively. Meanwhile, the Infrastructure and Environment factors have the lowest values at 0.16 and 0.10, respectively.

Published: February 2024

The objectives of this study were to indicate the relationship between chlorophyll levels, dissolved metal group minerals and phosphates in the studied area of the Central Polish Coastal Waters and to relate these data to the influence of the terrestrial environment. In 2020, in the Central Polish Coastal Waters (PLB990002), which is a special area for the protection of birds, tests were carried out on the concentrations of chlorophyll, phosphates, dissolved microelements: zinc, cobalt, nickel and iron, and electrolytic conductivity. For the analysis of dissolved microelements, a graphite cuvette version of atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS-GF) was used. Chlorophyll and phosphates were studied using UV-VIS spectrophotometer. The concentrations obtained in coastal sea water in the spring after the wintering of waterfowl and in the autumn were compared. Microelement and phosphate concentrations were higher in spring than in autumn. The relationship between the level of chlorophyll and phosphates and the tested microelements in coastal waters was demonstrated, and the results were linked to the possible sources of these chemical substances, such as wintering of birds, tourism, municipal and port management. It was also observed that the upwelling effects occurred in the study area, which significantly influenced changes in the chemical composition of sea water.

Skeletal muscle development is a highly ordered process orchestrated transcriptionally by the myogenic regulatory factors. However, the downstream molecular mechanisms of myogenic regulatory factor functions in myogenesis are not fully understood. Here, we identified the RNA-binding protein Musashi2 (Msi2) as a myogenin target gene and a post-transcriptional regulator of myoblast differentiation. Msi2 knockdown in murine myoblasts blocked differentiation without affecting the expression of MyoD or myogenin. Msi2 overexpression was also sufficient to promote myoblast differentiation and myocyte fusion. Msi2 loss attenuated autophagosome formation via down-regulation of the autophagic protein MAPL1LC3/ATG8 (LC3) at the early phase of myoblast differentiation. Moreover, forced activation of autophagy effectively suppressed the differentiation defects incurred by Msi2 loss. Consistent with its functions in myoblasts in vitro, mice deficient for Msi2 exhibited smaller limb skeletal muscles, poorer exercise performance, and muscle fiber–type switching in vivo. Collectively, our study demonstrates that Msi2 is a novel regulator of mammalian myogenesis and establishes a new functional link between muscular development and autophagy regulation.

Published: February 2024

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación cuyo objetivo es evaluar el nivel de comprensibilidad de textos online a través de una encuesta sobre la experiencia de lectura. La comprensibilidad de la información representa una nueva vertiente del comportamiento en información, condicionada por componentes subjetivos y características propias de la experiencia lectora y de quienes lean. Estudiamos el efecto de la interactividad del texto digital comparando la experiencia de lectura de dos textos, ambos dedicados a la temática del ejercicio físico y diferenciados por el nivel de interactividad, siendo más alto en un caso. Los resultados se obtuvieron través de una encuesta con 39 personas, en la que se recabaron datos sobre la experiencia de lectura, la comprensión del texto e influencia del mismo en actitudes y opiniones, y la valoración global de las dos páginas. La comprensión del texto se midió en base a 14 preguntas de verdadero y falso. Los datos obtenidos se analizan a través de estadística descriptiva y, donde procede, se realizan pruebas de estadística inferencial. La única diferencia significativa que se aprecia entre las dos páginas atañe a una mejor comprensibilidad de la página más interactiva, aunque la comprensibilidad no está relacionada con un mayor uso de las funcionalidades interactivas en las dos páginas. Finalmente, los resultados muestran que el consumo del texto digital se ve condicionado por las expectativas que aportan los lectores y que la interactividad no es solo una propiedad del medio sino también co-construida en la interacción entre el medio y los lectores.
Linguagem simples em arquivos públicos: mapeando a atuação do NARA
Authors: Silva Anahi Rocha , Vitoriano Marcia Cristina Carvalho Pazin
Published: February 2024

Escrever em linguagem simples significa escrever claramente. Presente em diversos países há várias décadas, Linguagem Simples é um movimento social pelo direito de acesso Ã  informação e uma técnica de redação para uma comunicação clara e eficaz. Usar Linguagem Simples para transmitir informações de maneira simples e objetiva, facilitando a compreensão de todos os atos praticados, traz benefícios muito concretos para o cidadão e para a máquina pública: economiza tempo e dinheiro, agiliza processos, aumenta produtividade, fortalece a confiança no setor público e, principalmente, aumenta a participação cidadã. Uma série de diretrizes de escrita e organização de informações tem sido pensada, para que o leitor encontre facilmente o que procura, compreenda o que encontrou e utilize a informação e os Arquivos também podem contribuir com suas expertises. A Linguagem Simples chegou ao National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) dos EUA como reflexo do Plain Writ Act/2010, a Lei de Redação Simples, passou a exigir que as agências federais do governo tenham uma comunicação clara para com o público. O objetivo desse artigo é mapear as atuações do NARA na implementação da política de Linguagem Simples em documentos. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, uma pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada no site do NARA, complementado com literatura sobre o assunto. Constatou-se que o NARA realiza diversas ações dentro da política arquivística relacionadas Ã  Linguagem Simples, tanto como agência que é, como também pela posição que ocupa na estrutura administrativa, dentro da política pública de informação e comunicação governamental. A adoção de estratégias para o cumprimento da lei, a revisão das políticas e diretrizes para adequação dos documentos federais, desenvolvimento de ferramentas para melhorar a qualidade das comunicações, são alguns exemplos destas atuações. Ainda não se tem um corpo teórico sobre as formas e estratégias de Linguagem Simples nos Arquivos Públicos, por ser um fenômeno relativamente novo. Os resultados apresentados contribuem para que se tenha uma visão de conjunto das práticas de Linguagem Simples que podem ser realizadas no âmbito dos Arquivos Públicos e indicam como este tema pode ser enfrentado pelos profissionais da informação e governos.

Аудіювання – це складний активний процес мовленнєво-розумової діяльності, що вимагає детального вивчення як із погляду функціонування механізмів сприйняття, так і розвитку аудитивних умінь і навичок. Набуття навичок аудіювання є одним із найважливіших складників мовленнєвої діяльності. Сприйняття мови на слух становить основу спілкування, із цього починається оволодіння усною комунікацією. Стаття має на меті підкреслити роль аудіювання у викладанні англійської мови для спеціальних цілей студентам технічних спеціальностей. Проаналізовано методи різних викладачів англійської для спеціальних цілей та досвід науковців, визначено труднощі сприймання інформації на слух та окреслено основні шляхи їх подолання. Проаналізовано наукові джерела із цього питання і зроблено висновок про високий рівень зацікавленості викладачів у впровадженні сучасних методів навчання аудіювання. Виявлено недостатню висвітленість цієї проблеми серед широких мас, незважаючи на високий рівень актуальності цього питання. Розглянуто відмінні характеристики розмовної мови порівняно з письмовою та чинників, що впливають на процес аудіювання; переваги та особливості різних видів діяльності, спрямованих на розвиток навичок аудіювання під час вивчення англійської для спеціальних цілей студентами технічних спеціальностей. Визначено аспекти аудіювання та виявлення труднощів під час етапу прослуховування тексту та після текстового етапу. Висвітлено основні критерії відбору звукового матеріалу в процесі аудіювання, зазначено основні характеристики, які необхідно враховувати під час розроблення завдань для навчання аудіювання студентів технічних спеціальностей. Автор підкреслює, що автентичні тексти доцільно використовувати на всіх етапах навчання аудіювання, ураховуючи рівень володіння мовою студентів і тривалість звучання тексту. Наведено конкретні приклади практичних стратегій та видів діяльності, важливих для технічної аудиторії. Зроблено узагальнюючи висновки щодо вивчення цього питання та наведено перспективи подальшого дослідження методів навчання аудіювання у вищих навчальних закладах. Надано бібліографічний список.

Статтю присвячено одній з актуальних проблем підготовки майбутніх фахівців сфери обслуговування. Основна увага зосереджується на розкритті сутності поняття «комунікативна культура майбутніх фахівців сфери обслуговування». Зазначено, що проблема формування комунікативної культури працівників сфери обслуговування, для яких формування комунікативних навичок є обов’язковим компонентом їхньої майбутньої фахової діяльності, потребує подальшого науково- педагогічного дослідження. Розглянуто підходи науковців до визначення сутності понять «комунікативна культура», «комунікативна культура фахівця сфери обслуговування». Визначено, що комунікативна культура – це складне динамічне особистісне утворення, що відображає соціально зумовлений рівень розвитку особистості, її готовність до комунікативної діяльності. Зазначено, що комунікативна культура фахівця сфери обслуговування – це сформована властивість особистості, яка об’єднує комунікативні знання, цінності та досвід, реалізація яких дає змогу досягти взаєморозуміння між суб’єктами діяльності та виділити такі компоненти: культура мислення, культура почуттів, культура здоров’я і культура мовлення. Установлено, що комунікативна культура є невід’ємним складником загальної професійної культури, вона дає змогу працівникам сфери обслуговування створювати висловлювання, здійснювати мовленнєву діяльність. Саме високий рівень розвитку комунікативної культури фахівця забезпечує успішність виконання професійних обов’язків, своєчасного вирішення поточних завдань. Доведено, комунікативна культура фахівця сфери обслуговування є комплексною характеристикою особистості як суб’єкта професійної діяльності, що сприяє його особистісному та професійному зростанню та забезпечує реалізацію професійної компетентності в процесі надання послуг. Важливим аспектом комунікативної культури особистості, що сприяє продуктивній взаємодії у сфері обслуговування, є професійне спілкування.

Published: February 2024

У статті визначено, що кризові ситуації, війни та конфлікти призводять до зростання числа людей, які стають внутрішньо переміщеними особами (ВПО). Важливо враховувати, що ВПО є уразливою групою, яка потребує комплексного підходу для ефективного соціально-психологічного супроводу та адаптації до нового оточення. Окрім того, інтеграція ВПО у громаду має важливі соціальні та економічні наслідки для самої громади. Вона вимагає спеціальних знань, підходів та ресурсів для забезпечення не лише їхнього статусу у суспільстві, а й забезпечення їхніх основних потреб, включаючи освіту, працевлаштування, житло, медичну допомогу та психологічну підтримку. Після аналізу різних підходів визначено, що соціально-психологічний супровід – це комплексний процес, спрямований на надання психологічної підтримки, соціальної адаптації та допомоги особам, які пережили складні події чи перебувають в уразливих життєвих ситуаціях. Його метою є поліпшення психологічного стану, розвиток особистості та сприяння соціальній інтеграції реципієнта, надаючи підтримку на різних рівнях і у різних сферах їхнього життя. Загалом дослідження процесів соціально-психологічного супроводу ВПО у громаді висвітлює важливість створення гнучких та комплексних програм, які відповідають їхнім потребам, сприяють їхній адаптації та інтеграції у новому оточенні та впливають на загальну стабільність та розвиток громади. Соціальна допомога в контексті війни є складним і багатогранним завданням. Вона вимагає ефективної організації та координації зусиль державних органів, міжнародних організацій, волонтерських організацій та приватних благодійників. Соціальна робота та соціальний супровід є невід’ємними складниками соціальної підтримки, яка важлива для забезпечення добробуту та якості життя груп населення, що переживають різні соціальні виклики і труднощі. Соціально-психологічний супровід включає чотири основні компоненти: діагностико-цільовий, операційно-інструментальний, спільнотно-комунікативний та оцінково-корекційний, кожен з яких відіграє важливу роль у процесі надання підтримки та допомоги.

Educación inclusiva en Latinoamérica

Published: February 2024

La educación no sólo es un derecho fundamental, sino que es un derecho habilitador, en el que se fundamenta el desarrollo de otros derechos humanos. Por tanto, incluir a la diversidad de la población en el desarrollo pleno y efectivo de este derecho es primordial para el avance mismo de las sociedades del mundo. La educación inclusiva incluye el respeto a las diferencias de cada uno, enfocada en fortalecer la calidad humana y basándose en las habilidades particulares. En este sentido, las políticas de educación inclusiva se han venido manejando como prioridad en las agendas pedagógicas y sociales de los países del mundo. Sin embargo, existen grandes brechas para alcanzar una educación para todos. Latinoamérica es una de esas complejas realidades, en donde su diversidad territorial, cultural, política, económica y social, la convierten en una de las regiones más inequitativas del mundo. En consecuencia, el propósito fundamental de la presente investigación es plasmar el estado actual de la educación inclusiva en América Latina, especialmente orientado a sus políticas básicas. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es una revisión bibliográfico – documental. En los resultados de la revisión se pudo evidenciar que Latinoamérica es una de las regiones más desiguales del mundo en materia de educación inclusiva. Las políticas implementadas son relativamente recientes y se nota una lenta evolución en la formulación de planes, estrategias, políticas y acciones a emprender. Las mayores deficiencias se encuentran en la puesta en práctica de estos planes las cuales están influenciadas por la falta de formación docente en atención a la diversidad y metodologías inclusivas, así como la escasez de recursos, la falta de adaptaciones culturales, el acceso desigual a las instituciones, la falta de estudios que permitan progresar en las áreas más débiles y reforzar aquellas políticas más efectivas, entre otros.
