A television white space (TVWS) is an unused spectrum band in the TV broadcasting band. This unused band of frequency in TV channels can be used for different applications that benefit the people. TVWS, with its accompanying communications technologies, has promising uses and advantages in wireless systems. TVWS can replace or co-exist with other communications systems. However, gauging the technological transitions for the adoption of the TVWS system is sometimes overlooked. This paper developed a set of questions that could gauge and evaluate the level of adoption and implementation of a country's TVWS communications based on Davis's proposed technological transition architecture framework. The technological assessment developed in this paper leads to a better understanding of the niche, regime, and landscape considerations in implementing TVWS systems.

Published: February 2022

El objetivo de la presente investigación descriptiva es determinar las principales fuentes de datos estadísticos en materia de violencia de género en España y realizar un análisis en profundidad de la información que proporcionan: procedencia de la misma, cómo se presenta, cuán accesible resulta para la ciudadanía y el grado de utilidad que representa para el desarrollo de investigaciones criminológicas, así como para la realización de propuestas político-criminales en la materia. Se parte de la existencia de numerosas fuentes de información en materia de violencia de género, principalmente como consecuencia del impulso planteado a partir de la Ley Orgánica 1/2004, sin poder obviar la existencia de determinadas limitaciones o deficiencias. Se concluye cierto grado de complementariedad entre las fuentes, de forma que ciertas carencias de algunas de ellas se complementan y suplen con la información proporcionada por otras.
La trazabilidad de los datos oficiales sobre delincuencia en España
Authors: Giménez-Salinas Andrea , Pérez Ramírez Meritxell
Published: February 2022

Los datos criminológicos oficiales suelen utilizarse para medir la criminalidad de forma transversal o longitudinal. En el presente artículo se ofrece un enfoque de investigación criminológica cuya fuente de datos son los hechos delictivos denunciados y judicializados, y cuya finalidad es el análisis de su evolución a lo largo del proceso judicial. Las aplicaciones de este tipo de enfoque pueden ser múltiples, pero destacamos la oportunidad de analizar la evolución de los hechos delictivos en las diferentes fases del proceso y la evaluación de la gestión institucional de los hechos enjuiciados. El principal problema en su implementación es la compartimentación existente entre los organismos gestores de las fuentes de datos oficiales. Este artículo pretende, en primer lugar, presentar este enfoque como opción de investigación criminológica para responder a preguntas de investigación relevantes en Criminología, poner de manifiesto las dificultades encontradas a la luz de dos estudios realizados y, finalmente, proponer enfoques similares desarrollados en otros países y recomendaciones para mejorar la gestión actual de los datos y su trazabilidad.
Density Based Traffic Control Techniques-A Review
Authors: Kumar Naresh , Kumar Prashant
Published: February 2022

In modern days with the tremendous rise of vehicle numbers on the roadways, traffic jams have been found a massive problem. In the current scenario we can't say that traffic jam is occurring mainly in urban areas, in rural area also traffic jams are increasing. These traffic jams are behind problems like air pollution, noise pollution or delay in time. These traffic jams can't be resolved by only deploying traffic lights in all cities because these lights have fixed intervals of time between red and green lights. Keeping this in mind many attempts were done to change the time interval according to the density of vehicles on the road. This paper summarizes different techniques for traffic management and control systems that can be used for the improvement of the current system.

Coil connection in Parallel
Coil connection in Series
Two Winding Transformer
Here, we have connected the coils of a single-phase transformer in series and parallel, then observed the transformer's loading as an autotransformer and as a two-winding transformer. It is essential to comprehend the instant polarities of the secondary terminals in relation to the primary in order to properly connect the winding.
Comparación de la independencia funcional en el adulto mayor militar pasivo y civiles
Authors: Tapia Pérez Carlos Alfredo , Díaz Cevallos Ana Cristina
Published: February 2022

Introducción: El envejecimiento implica una serie de cambios morfológicos y fisiológicos en el organismo, y su conocimiento permite comprender las diferencias fisiopatológicas entre los adultos mayores y el resto de la población adulta. Para mantener la independencia funcional es imprescindible disponer de una adecuada masa muscular. La fuerza y la masa muscular alcanzan su máxima expresión entre la segunda y la cuarta décadas de la vida y desde entonces se produce una declinación progresiva. El presente estudio es una investigación descriptiva-correlacional, con un enfoque cuantitativo, que consistió en el análisis comparativo del envejecimiento de personal militar pasivo y personas civiles. Los criterios de inclusión en el grupo militar de adultos mayores fueron: ser militar pasivo que practicaba actividad física frecuentemente. Por otro lado en el grupo comparativo de adultos mayores civiles el criterio de inclusión fue ser sedentarios. Participaron un total de 63 adultos mayores con una edad entre 73 a 99 años. La muestra fue dividida en dos grupos: un grupo denominado activos físicos militares y un grupo comparativo con participantes civiles sedentarios. En el grupo de investigación quienes realizaban frecuentemente actividad física muestran dependencia escasa, por lo contrario el grupo de personas sedentarias presentan dependencia severa y moderada.

Authors: Valencia Benett Francisco David , Miranda Aguilar Eddy Alexander , Calero Morales Santiago
Published: February 2022

Introducción: Durante la última década el entrenamiento interválico de alta intensidad mayormente conocido como HIIT, se ha posicionado en los entrenamientos de diferentes deportes como una alternativa saludable a nivel cardio-muscular, destacándose principalmente en el incremento rápido del VO2 máx en deportistas que realizan estos entrenamientos. Pese a su gran utilidad, en la actualidad no existe un programa para su aplicación en los marinos de embarcaciones menores. Objetivo: Potenciar el VO2 máx en marinos de embarcaciones menores, utilizando un entrenamiento HIIT. Métodos: Investigación descriptiva-correlacional, seleccionando bajo un muestreo intencional no probabilístico a 70 marinos de embarcaciones menores (género masculino; 35-38 años), los cuales serán sometidos a un entrenamiento HIIT, valorando su capacidad aeróbica en dos momentos. Resultados: Se evidencian mejoras notables en el tiempo empleado para cumplimentar el test de las 2 millas a favor del postest (Pretest: 16:54 minutos, Postest: 15:20 minutos; p=0,000), incrementándose significativamente el VO2 máx en el segundo momento de haberse implementado la prueba (Pretest: 29,19, Postest: 38,66; p=0,000). Conclusiones: El entrenamiento interválico demostró resultados propicios para mejorar significativamente el VO2 máx en los marinos de embarcaciones menores, potenciando el desarrollo de la resistencia aeróbica, asumiendo que se pueden cambiar los métodos habituales de acondicionamiento en los repartos navales. No obstante, a futuro se recomienda establecer una investigación cuasiexperimental con grupos independientes, lo cual determinará si el HIIT en comparación con el método tradicional de entrenamiento del marino ecuatoriano, permite potenciar la capacidad de resistencia aeróbica, u optimiza en mayor o igual grado.

Authors: Padilla Ospina Ana Milena , Ospina-Holguín Javier Humberto , Medina-Vásquez Javier Enrique
Published: February 2022

La financiación de la innovación se ha caracterizado por ser un campo fragmentado donde coexisten múltiples teorías, cada una enfocada en uno o en unos pocos aspectos de la financiación a la vez. El presente artículo busca identificar las variables financieras que más influyen y su efecto en la intensificación de las actividades de innovación de las pymes colombianas en un único modelo empírico comprehensivo que predice la intensidad de la innovación a partir de más de cuarenta subvariables asociadas a la financiación de la innovación. El modelo de predicción (que logró un coeficiente de determinación por fuera de la muestra sobre 0.5 o 0.6), según la definición utilizada, se basa en un conjunto de redes neuronales optimizadas mediante técnicas bayesianas. Los resultados de este trabajo sugieren como conclusión que para que las pymes decidan intensificar sus actividades de innovación predominan las variables capaces de limitar la innovación, como el costo de ajuste y algunos obstáculos para innovar, pero sobre todo las variables centradas en el riesgo, como el riesgo de quiebra de la empresa o del proyecto de innovación y la aversión al riesgo del gerente.

PEMBELAJARAN YANG BERORIENTASI HIGHER ORDER THINGKING SKILLS
Authors: Dra. Hartini Dra. Hartini
Published: February 2022

Indonesian language lessons are related to how to study science through concepts systematically, and facts obtained through discovery. However, in practice, the learning model applied to students through conventional techniques is the dominant technique, while other learning models such as discussion, experimentation, inquiry, and cooperative learning are rarely carried out. In the conventional learning process, students are less creative to develop thinking skills, so they become passive and less involved in learning. Schools as an educational institution have an important role in efforts to develop and realize the potential of students. The development of this potential can be started by growing students' thinking skills and abilities. In this case, think critically, creatively, logically, systematically, and argumentatively. These abilities need to be possessed by students, as a provision in dealing with the problems that will be faced, both problems that exist in school and problems that exist in everyday life. To achieve this, the author tries to change the learning method oriented to higher order thinking skills by using the Discovery Based Learning model.

     Results: The mean age was 59.0 ± 11.0 years old, in which the percentage of men accounted for 60%, the mean duration of the disease was 2.2 ± 3.8 years, the symptom class affected the life quality, which was 3.24 ± 0.34 points, according to EHRA. Electrophysiological study results: For the group of persistent AF (n = 7), the average potential was 2.17 ± 0.30 mV, the lowest potential area in the septal region was 1.63 ± 0.38 mV, the potential at the atrial basal area was 1.8 ± 0.17 mV. For the paroxysmal AF group (n=21), the average potential was 2.70 ± 0.28mV, the lowest potential in the septal region was 1.95 ± 0.24 mV. The rate of potential areas <1.5 mV in the group of persistent AF was 28.5%, mainly located in the septum and posterior wall of the left atrium.

      Conclusion: The average potential of the left atrial regions in the group of persistent AF was significantly lower than that of the patients with paroxysmal AF, low potential areas were found in 28.6% of the group of patients with persistent AF, located in the septum and base of the left atrium. There was no difference in sinus node recovery time and left atrial refractory time between the 2 groups.

The objective of this study is to determine how satisfied students are with the course experiences provided by the learning facilities in Pakistani universities. This study looks into the factors of what they think is important for their learning environment, because students are the key stakeholders of the learning and education system. On the other hand, the missionary objectives of any university is to provide quality education and produce better alumni, because students’ achievements not only contribute to their scholastic development, but also build the reputation of an institution. Therefore, to measure the students’ satisfaction level of their course experiences, a self-structured survey questionnaire was used to collect the required data from students of different departments. A number of 141 master’s level students were identified from a local university. The data illustrated that the students’ satisfaction level in the provision of courses was low on given choices, like motivational characteristics, ICT application, and life-long learning skills; moderately satisfied for development of analytical and reflective thinking skills; and high level of satisfaction on all these elements except choices that have been reported of low importance.
Why Professional Development Matters: A Case of College Teachers in Karachi
Authors: Sarwar Samiullah , Hussain Mahwish Basit
Published: February 2022

The predominant teachers’ professional development practice in Pakistan can be stated as limited, fragmented, short termed, and pre-packaged as it occurs on margins of having more focus on training sessions rather than problem-solving. This qualitative research aims to share the results of a small-scale study, involving 12 college teachers working in public sector institutions on their perceptions of professional development and the support they get from their educational institutions. It then proposes a three-branched solution that includes: (a) government and institution supported PD; (b) availability and delivery of multiple PD approaches based on the needs assessment of the teachers; and (c) on-going follow-up and evaluation of teachers’ professional development system to suit the local context. This study recommends that effective PD, if considered wisely, can become the process through which educators can examine thoughtfully and critically the purpose, role, structure, and organization of the institutions concerning the increasingly diverse students and communities they serve. The educational field in Pakistan needs a new ethics for PD; one that is sincerely supported and reflected in the educational policies of the country.
Prostatectomía radical, radioterapia y vigilancia activa sin diferencias estadísticamente significativas en los resultados de mortalidad de pacientes con cáncer de próstata localizado
Authors: Orozco Martínez Abraham
Published: February 2022

El cáncer de próstata es uno de los principales problemas de salud pública en la población adulta y la neoplasia más frecuente en hombres mayores de 40 años de edad. La Agencia Internacional de Investigación del Cáncer (GLOBOCAN) señala que la incidencia más alta se  registra en Austria y América del Norte (111.6 y 97.2 casos por cada 100,000 hombres, respec tivamente) y la más baja en los países asiáticos (4.5 a 10.5 casos por 100,000 hombres). En  África del Sur y el Caribe las tasas de mortalidad son más altas en poblaciones afrodescendientes (19 a 24 muertes por cada 100,000 hombres).
Poliorquidismo: presentación de un caso y revisión de la bibliografía
Authors: Garza Montúfar María Esther
Published: February 2022

El poliorquidismo es una alteración poco frecuente. Hasta la fecha se han reportado menos de 200 casos en la bibliografía de todo el mundo.CASO CLÍNICO: paciente de 16 años de edad, que acudió a consulta por tumoración en hemiescroto derecho, no dolorosa. En la exploración física se palparon dos estructuras ovoides y dos tubulares que emergían de cada una, sugerentes de conductos deferentes; no se palpó varicocele. Ante la sospecha de poliorquidia, se realizó un ultrasonido escrotal. El estudio de imagen evidenció dos imágenes: una de 3.7 x 2.7 x 2.5 cm y la otra de 3.7 x 3 x 2.8 cm, además de microlitiasis. Debido a que el paciente se encontraba asintomático y dispuesto a llevar un adecuado seguimiento, se decidió vigilancia periódica, mediante visitas médicas y ultrasonido seriados.CONCLUSIÓN: el diagnóstico de poliorquidia se establece mediante la obtención de biopsias o estudios de imagen (ultrasonido y resonancia). El tratamiento depende de la localización, funcionalidad y clasificación del testículo supernumerario; se recomienda dejar el testículo in situ solo cuando tiene localización intraescrotal y es funcional.PALABRAS CLAVE: poliorquidismo, testículo supernumerario, poliorquia, masa paratesticular, poliorquidia.
Vesiculoscopía en el tratamiento de quistes de vesícula seminal, revisión de la literatura a propósito de un caso
Authors: Cerda Guerrero Enrique
Published: February 2022

ANTECEDENTES: los quistes de vesícula seminal son infrecuentes. Se estima una incidencia de 0.005% y se diagnostican con mayor frecuencia de la segunda a la cuarta décadas de la vida. La mayoría de los casos se manifiesta con lesión única, aunque pueden encontrarse múltiples lesiones. La presentación puede ser congénita o adquirida; la primera se asocia con alteraciones del conducto mesonéfrico (conducto de Wolf). En dos terceras partes de los casos se ha descrito agenesia renal ipsilateral (síndrome de Zinner). La forma adquirida se asocia con causas obstructivas, quizá infecciosas.CASO CLÍNICO: paciente masculino de 43 años de edad, que acudió a consulta por síntomas urinarios bajos, de vaciamiento, acompañados de hematoespermia, tenesmo rectal y dolor pélvico.DISCUSIÓN: en pacientes con quistes en la vesícula seminal se han observado formas y grados variables en su manifestación clínica, algunos cursan asintomáticos y otros con síntomas urinarios obstructivos, infecciones urinarias, hematuria, hematoespermia e incluso infertilidad. Cuando los quistes son de mayor tamaño puede haber síntomas gastrointestinales: estreñimiento y tenesmo rectal. Debido a que estos quistes son infrecuentes, no existe consenso actual acerca de la conducta a seguir y el tratamiento. Hoy el tratamiento se reserva para pacientes sintomáticos; diversos artículos proponen el abordaje endoscópico, como la primera opción de tratamiento, considerando a la vesiculoscopia como el patrón de referencia para el tratamiento de los quistes de la vesícula seminal.PALABRAS CLAVE: quiste, vesícula seminal, vesiculoscopia, hematoespermia, quistes genitourinarios.
Primer estudio mexicano comparativo entre prostatectomía radical abierta y asistida por robot
Authors: Herrera Muñoz Javier Antonio
Published: February 2022

ANTECEDENTES: hay controversia en cuanto a los resultados perioperatorios, oncológicos y funcionales entre la prostatectomía radical abierta versus prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot.OBJETIVO: comparar los resultados perioperatorios, oncológicos y funcionales entre la prostatectomía radical abierta versus prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot.MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: estudio retrospectivo, descriptivo y analítico, efectuado mediante el análisis de los expedientes de pacientes posoperados de prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot y prostatectomía radical abierta, de enero de 2012 a junio de 2016. Se analizaron variables preoperatorias (edad, estado funcional según los criterios del ECOG, comorbilidades, concentración de antígeno prostático específico, escala de Gleason y grupo de riesgo de la NCCN), perioperatorias (sangrando transoperatorio, tiempo quirúrgico, requerimiento de transfusión sanguínea, días de estancia hospitalaria, tiempo de permanencia de la sonda transuretral y complicaciones posquirúrgicas) y oncológicas (estadio clínico, criterios de Gleason de la pieza quirúrgica, márgenes positivos, persistencia y recurrencia bioquímica de la enfermedad; continencia urinaria [3, 6 y 12 meses] y potencia o desempeño sexual [6 y 12]). Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el programa SPSS; se calcularon frecuencias y pruebas de normalidad. Se implementó la c2 de Pearson para variables cualitativas, y t de Student y U de Mann-Whitney para variables cuantitativas.RESULTADOS: se registraron 35 pacientes con prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot y 36 con prostatectomía radical abierta. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 64 vs 63 años; tiempo quirúrgico de 286 ± 68 vs 225 ± 65 minutos (p<0.001); sangrando transoperatorio de 869 ± 657 vs 1567 1110 mL (p=0.001); tasa de transfusión de 37 vs 47% (p=0.26), respectivamente, y estancia hospitalaria de 5 días para ambos procedimientos. Se registraron complicaciones posquirúrgicas en 29 vs 28% (p=0.58) de los pacientes; márgenes positivos de 63 vs 33% (p=0.01) y tasa de continencia a los 3 meses de 57 vs 53% (p=0.7), respectivamente. El seguimiento de los pacientes con prostatectomía asistida por robot fue de 3 a 21 meses y de prostatectomía radical abierta de 1 a 4 años.CONCLUSIONES: este estudio confirma las ventajas de la prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot: menor sangrado transoperatorio y de trasfusión; los parámetros restantes fueron similares, pero no inferiores, a los de la prostatectomía radical abierta. PALABRAS CLAVE: prostatectomía radical laparoscópica asistida por robot, prostatectomía radical abierta.
