Sanguinarine highly sensitises breast cancer cells to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis
Authors: du Plessis Manisha , Fourie Carla , le Roux Heloise , Engelbrecht Anna-Mart
Published: March 2024

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death in women. The anthracycline, doxorubicin, is a well-known and highly effective treatment for breast cancer patients; however, many patients present with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, which ultimately results in treatment failure and contributes to high mortality rates. It is well established that the mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP-1) mediates the response to chemotherapy, where upregulated MKP-1 is associated with chemoresistance. We investigated whether MKP-1 inhibition or silencing can sensitise triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells to doxorubicin therapy. We found that MKP-1 inhibition and silencing sensitises breast cancer cells to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis. Additionally, the inhibition of MKP-1 in combination with doxorubicin treatment promotes autophagy induction, while doxorubicin and not MKP-1 modulation increased lysosomal acidic compartments. As such, this study demonstrated that MKP-1 inhibition has a potential therapeutic benefit for breast cancer patients by increasing the efficacy of conventional chemotherapy. Therefore, MKP-1 inhibition should be developed as a clinically relevant adjuvant therapy, which could provide a novel avenue for therapeutic intervention in combination with chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.

Published: March 2024

Pesticide residues and heavy metal content of cassava, yam, cocoyam, potato, water yam and carrot were evaluated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The detected pesticide residues in the samples were 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, glyphosate, hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dichlorobiphenyl, aldrin, endosulfan, profenofos, g-chlordane, carbofuran, biphenyl, heptachlor, lindane and t-Nonachlor. The concentration of HCB ranged between 0.0799 ± 0.06 mg/kg and 0.1596 ± 0.00 mg/kg, which was greater than the permitted maximum limit of 0.5 mg/kg established by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The concentration of aldrin and profenofos detected was lower than the predetermined maximum allowed limits. Endosulfan concentrations in cocoyam (0.2500 mg/kg) and potato (0.3265 mg/kg) were higher than the limits allowed by the Canadian Department of Industrial Research. The heavy metals detected in these samples include cobalt, nickel, lead, manganese, chromium, arsenic and mercury in at least one of the samples evaluated. There was not much difference between the concentration of cobalt in yam (0.036 mg/kg) and the maximum allowed concentration (0.043 mg/kg). Lead was detected in potatoes and carrots but was below detectable concentration in cassava, yam, cocoyam and water yam. Similarly, cocoyam was found to have a significant mercury content (0.658 mg/kg), but mercury content was below detectable concentrations in cassava, yam and water yam.
Selection, sequencing and progression of content in biology in four diverse jurisdictions
Authors: Dempster Edith R.
Published: March 2024

Selection of content for a school syllabus is important in achieving progress towards inclusive generalisations which characterise powerful knowledge. Biology as a discipline progresses from knowledge of individual facts to inclusive generalisations such as homeostasis, energy transformations, heredity, and evolution. The present study evaluated the selection of content in the official biology syllabus for the seventh and eighth years of schooling in four diverse jurisdictions: Kenya, South Africa, British Columbia (Canada) and Singapore. The purpose was to determine whether and how content selection enabled progression to inclusive generalisations in biology and to compare selection, sequencing and progression among the four jurisdictions. General Topic Trace Mapping was used to compare each syllabus to a generic reference syllabus structured according to inclusive generalisations. Although there was some agreement in the scope of topics selected, jurisdictions varied in the way it was organised. Kenya included more everyday knowledge than other jurisdictions. British Columbia and Singapore selected content according to unifying themes, whereas South Africa and Kenya did not. South Africa selected content that enabled progression towards inclusive generalisations, but did not explicitly identify the generalisations. This study supports the contention that powerful knowledge in biology may be construed differently in diverse jurisdictions.

The Architectural Design Studio Room, Faculty of Engineering, University of Subang is a room with a large intensity of use, the core activities of the studio start from carrying out the design planning process, making design concepts such as drawing concept sketches, then making pre-design drawings and detailed drawings to make design presentations such as mock-ups and poster. architectural design studio space design needs to accommodate the various activities it contains. Today, many students prefer to work on this course elsewhere rather than in the studio. As a result, the use of studios becomes less effective and has an impact on the condition of the studio which is empty of students. The use of the studio is greatly influenced by the quality of the studio space itself, starting from architectural components such as lighting, ventilation, and the carrying capacity of the furniture as well as the condition of the interior wall color of the studio space. The quality of this space can be seen from the level of student attendance, and the intensity of students being in the studio. This critique aims to find out how much influence the quality of space has on the effectiveness of space use, in this case, the design studio space in the architecture department. and it is hoped that the process of making changes or adding facilities that are able to accommodate all lecture activities and be able to provide lecture facilities that are comfortable and accommodate lecture activities. study program in the Department of Architecture. the carrying capacity of the furniture and the condition of the interior wall color of the studio space. Keywords: Quality Standards, Subang University, Architectural Studio

One of the sectors that are progressing and are growing rapidly, especially in Indonesia today is tourism. Tourism has an important role in increasing the income of a region. In terms of employment, the tourism sector can also be a solution to reduce the unemployment problem which is currently rife in various parts of the country. In terms of cultural diversity and natural beauty, Indonesia can be one of the unique tourist destinations in this regard. This study aims to analyze the potential for developing agro-Edu tourism based on community empowerment in the Cipanas Dam area so that it has a positive impact on the economy, especially the economy of the local community. The research method used in this study is descriptive with a qualitative approach, where the descriptive qualitative method is a research method based on the philosophy of postpositivism used to examine the condition of natural objects (as opposed to experiments) where the researcher is the key instrument of data collection techniques carried out manually triangulation (combined), data analysis is inductive/qualitative, and qualitative research results emphasize meaning rather than generalization. The results of the research from the potential of Agro-Edu Tourism in the Cipanas dam area can be developed in several location spots, including by utilizing the edge of the dam as a pedestrian tracking path along the green belt in the form of trees; the development of a camping ground that can accommodate tourists to spend the night while still being able to enjoy the atmosphere of the outdoors on the edge of the lake; mango fruit agro-tourism area; The Tower of View in the Rest Area and the planned Cipanas Terrace area downstream of the dam.

Published: March 2024

Hospitals as health facilities need to be supported in all aspects. The healing factors obtained from health services do not stand alone but must be supported by physical health facilities to make the healing process more comprehensive. Many rules must be applied in hospitals and many aspects must be taken into account when designing a hospital, so designers must understand how to design according to standard rules and also aspects of user needs because healing is carried out through the physical and psychological aspects of the patient to encourage a more effective healing process. With the various facilities in hospitals, the role of inpatient rooms is often not a priority compared to service-based health facilities such as the emergency room, operating room, ICU room, and hemodialysis room which are important priorities. Even though the healing process takes the longest time in the inpatient room. It is felt that the current arrangement of inpatient rooms does not support the healing process. Therefore, this paper aims to guide designing inpatient rooms that truly meet the behavioral needs of residents so that it is hoped to create an inpatient room that encourages healing (healing environment). The method applied is descriptive qualitative by studying it based on the theory of architectural behavior architectural psychology, namely a Healing Environment that is suitable for hospitals through analysis of behavior that produces a need for space elements. Observe the condition of the inpatient room and the expected behavior of the occupants. The results of the analysis of inpatient rooms will be in the form of guidelines for designing inpatient rooms comprehensively. How to choose colors, choose finishing materials, furniture, and other necessary elements. The author hopes that this article can be used by all parties who will design, renovate, or carry out further research regarding inpatient room design. For designers, hospital owners, and hospital management throughout Indonesia, so whatever hospital class, location, government-owned, private, or foundation can apply hospital room design well.keywords: inpatient room, Healing Environment, Interior Design

Authors:   Neurorehabilitation Engineering and Assistance Systems Research, School of Mechanical Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia Engineering Campus, Jln Transkrian - Bukit Panchor, 14300 Nibong Tebal, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia
Published: March 2024

This systematic review aimed to investigate the effect of focal vibration (FV) on muscle tone, kinematic parameters and motor functions in individuals with stroke, Parkinson’ disease and multiple sclerosis. It also determined the influence of vibration parameters such as frequency and amplitude, stimulation session duration, and the total number of intervention sessions on the outcome measures. PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science, and EBSCO were searched, yielding 21 qualifying articles. Within a week post-treatment, FV effectively reduced elbow spasticity (P = 0.04), improved upper limb kinematic parameters (SMD = -0.75, 95% CI: -1.50 to -0.01), and enhanced upper limb motor function (P = 0.05) in stroke patients. FV significantly improved lower limb kinematic parameters of Parkinson’s disease patients (P = 0.03). Over a week post-treatment, the effect of FV was not significant in reducing spasticity for upper limb in stroke (P = 0.25) and improving kinematic parameters for lower limb in Parkinson’s disease (SMD = 0.38, 95% CI: -0.58 to 1.35). The total therapy sessions significantly associated with the effect size (p = 0.042) for upper limb motor function outcome measure. Conclusion, integrating FV into rehabilitation may benefit patients with neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.
A feldolgozóipar és az Ipar 4.0 technológiák területi összefüggései Magyarországon a negyedik ipari forradalom elején
Authors: Kiss Éva , Páger Balázs
Published: March 2024

Az elmúlt évtizedben, de különösen az utóbbi években a magyar ipar is számos kihívással nézett szembe, amelyek közül az egyik legfontosabb az Ipar 4.0 technológiák terjedése. A szakirodalmi tapasztalatok szerint ezt számos tényező befolyásolja. A tanulmányban azt vizsgáljuk evolúciós gazdaságföldrajzi megközelítésben, hogy milyen összefüggések vannak az eltérő technológiai intenzitású feldolgozóipari ágazatok területi koncentrációja és az Ipar 4.0 technológiák térbeli mintázata között a negyedik ipari forradalom elején. Különböző adatbázisok és indikátorok felhasználásával, amelyek a digitális infrastruktúrára és a társadalmi, gazdasági fejlettségre vonatkoztak, korreláció- és klaszterelemzést végeztünk megyei szinten. Megállapítottuk, hogy az Ipar 4.0 technológiák alkalmazása, és ezáltal a digitalizáció elsősorban azokban a térségekben előrehaladottabb, ahol a magas- és közepesen magas technológiai intenzitású ágazatok koncentrálódnak. A 2014–2019. között időszak, amely a negyedik ipari forradalom kezdeti szakaszának is tekinthető, egyik fontos trendje, hogy  a feldolgozóiparban nőtt az alacsonyabb technológiai szintű ágazatok koncentrációja, ami viszont kevésbé kedvez a digitális technológiák alkalmazásának. Az Ipar 4.0-hoz kötődő technológiák térbeli megoszlása  látványosan tükrözi a digitális megosztottságot az ország északi és déli fele között, mivel a fejlettebb és jelentősebb feldolgozóipari koncentrációval rendelkező északi országrészben sokkal markánsabb az előfordulásuk.

In the article authors analyze the participation of domestic and foreign morphological scientists in the activities of the Imperial St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. From the founding of the Academy (1724) until 1917, a number of outstanding morphologists were elected to its full members, including K.F. Wolf, A.E. Protasov, Kh.G. Pander, K.E. von Baer, A.O. Kovalevsky, F.V. Ovsyannikov, A.S. Dogel, D.N. Anuchin. The scientific works of these scientists constituted the glory of Russian science. The academy’s connections with foreign scientists also developed, many of whom were elected corresponding members and foreign honorary members of the academy, including a number of morphologists, comparative anatomists and histologists. Thus, the following were elected as foreign honorary members: in 1737 — R.A. Reaumur, in 1776 — A. von Haller, in 1802 — J. Cuvier; in 1826 — J.W. von Goethe; in 1905 — C. Golgi. Correspondents were elected as foreign members: in 1826 — R. Brown, in 1827 he became a full member of the academy; in 1826 — K.E. von Baer, who after moving to Russia became its ordinary academician (1827), and then, after his resignation, its honorary member (1862); in 1832 — I.P. Muller; in 1836 — Ya.E. Purkinje; in 1850 — M.Ya. Schleiden; in 1857 — R.A. Kolliker; in 1881 — R. Virchow; in 1897 — F. von Leydig.
Communication between foreign scientists and the Academy was carried out in several directions, the main of which was sending their works to the Academy and publishing their works in Academy publications. Another direction was the training of Russian students, as well as internships for Russian researchers preparing for a professorship.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: By now, possible effects of diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension on the ocular surface changes after trabeculectomy have not been evaluated.
AIM: Analysis of the effects of arterial hypertension therapy and diabetes mellitus on the ocular surface changes after trabeculectomy.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study group consisted of 443 patients, including those with arterial hypertension (179 patients), non insulin dependent compensated type 2 diabetes mellitus (25 patients) and their combination (53 persons), operated in 2016–2020 in the City Multifield Hospital No. 2, Saint-Petersburg, for primary open-angle noncompensated glaucoma and then observed for 6 to 24 months. The dynamics of ocular surface disease index (OSDI), tear film break-up time (TBUT), and amount of total tear production has been studied.
RESULTS: The probability of the trabeculectomy success did not depend on the concomitant comorbidity. In contrast to intraocular pressure, the criteria for subjective and objective assessment of the ocular surface state were not subject to such obvious changes. In diabetic patients, the studied criteria have not changed compared to the baseline.
CONCLUSIONS: The mentioned systemic diseases do not influence the state of the ocular surface in patients with glaucoma, and are not an independent risk factor for the failure of the IOP-lowering surgical procedure. The presence of diabetes mellitus prevents the accompanying a successful trabeculectomy regression of symptoms and clinical and functional signs of dry eye disease.

Published: March 2024

A challenge in fully using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data collected from fiber-optic sensors is correcting the signals to provide quantitative true ground motion. Such corrections require considering coupling and instrument response issues. In this study, we show via comparison with geophone and broadband seismometer data that we can use coda envelope calibration techniques to obtain absolute moment magnitudes and source spectra from DAS data. Here, we use DAS and nodal geophones deployed as part of a geothermal monitoring experiment at Brady Hot Springs, Nevada, and on a 20 km long dark fiber of the ESnet’s Dark Fiber Testbed–a U.S. Department of Energy user facility, in Sacramento, California. Several DAS line segments with colocated geophone stations were used to compare the amplitude variation using narrowband S-wave coda envelopes. The DAS coda envelope decay at each point showed remarkable similarity with coda envelopes from different events in each narrow frequency range examined. The coda envelopes are used to determine Mw magnitudes and source spectra from regional stations without any major scatter. Because coda waves arrive from a range of directions, the azimuthal sensitivity of DAS is somewhat ameliorated. We show that the openly available seismic coda calibration software toolkit can be used for straightforward and faster processing of large DAS datasets for source parameters and subsurface imaging.
Changing etiology and epidemiology of hepatocellular carcinoma: Asia and worldwide
Authors: Kim Do Young
Published: March 2024

Approximately 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases arise in sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Asia, following a similarly high prevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers in these regions. The etiology and epidemiology of HCC have recently changed worldwide. Although HBV infection is the main contributor to HCC development, a slow but continuous decline in HBV infection rates has been reported since 1990. Owing to the widespread use of direct-acting antivirals, the incidence of hepatitis C virus-related HCC has remarkably decreased in Japan and European countries. In Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, the incidence of HBV-related HCC has significantly decreased owing to vaccination against HBV. Globally, while HBV accounted for more than half of HCCs in 1990, this had decreased to 42% in 2019. In contrast, the proportion of patients with alcoholic- and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) increased from 13% to 18% and from 5% to 6%, respectively. NASH-related HCC has characteristics that differ from those of virus-associated HCC. Compared with other etiologies, patients with NASHassociated HCC are older, have a higher body mass index, and have higher rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)-associated HCC is also known to develop in the absence of cirrhosis, unlike alcohol-related and autoimmune liver diseases. Because patients with NAFLD usually have diabetes or obesity, surveying this population is challenging. Optimal selection of the target population and surveillance tools among patients with NAFLD needs to be determined.

Published: March 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global problem whose number of sufferers is increasing. Various methods have been widely used to prevent worsening of kidney function. In addition to controlling causative factors, diet planning also plays a role in improving kidney function. Confining protein utilization has long been a foundation of wholesome treatment for patients with CKD. In any case, the suggested sum of dietary protein admissions may change between consensus. A vegan who eats less that's exceptionally low in protein has appeared to diminish the chance of kidney failure in patients with progressed CKD. These findings indicate that protein sources can also influence the improvement of kidney function. Dietary medications play a good part in the management of CKD and avoiding or postponing kidney replacement therapy. The study proposes that a plant-dominant low-protein diet (PLADO) of 0.6–0.8 g/kg/day composed of >50% plant-based sources, managed by nutritionists prepared in non-dialysis CKD care, is promising and reliable with the exactness diet. Plant-based Very low-protein diets may inhibit decreased eGFR (estimated glomerular filtration rate) and the need for renal replacement therapy. This literature review aims to find evidence about the effectiveness of plant-based diets in treating cases of chronic kidney failure.

Mother Earth. A Prototype of Modern Pomeranian Art?
Authors: KUBIAK SZYMON PIOTR
Published: March 2024

Osiadły w Meklemburgii ekspresjonista Ernst Barlach zaprojektował w latach 1920–1921 pomnik
nagrobny dla kupca drzewnego Ernsta Biesla. Rzeźba zatytułowana Matka Ziemia stanęła na
nowym Cmentarzu Głównym w Szczecinie, którego projektantem był Georg Hannig. Temat
nawiązywał do rozprzestrzenionego w kulturach pierwotnych, starożytnych oraz obrzędowości
ludowej bóstwa chtonicznego, u Celtów znanego pod frygijskim imieniem Kybele, u Germanów
zaś Nerthus. Do tych dwóch grup etnicznych odwoływała się nowoczesna mitologia państwoi
narodotwórcza Niemców. W 1905 roku Albert Dietrich poświęcił Matce Ziemi swą rozprawę.
Barlach wzorował się na wernakularnych rzeźbach postklasycznych, ale najważniejszym źródłem
natchnienia była dla niego recepcja posągów kumańskich, tzw. bab kamiennych (XI–XIII wiek),
które oglądał na ukraińskim stepie w 1906 roku. Surowe, blokowe rzeźby przypisywane Celtom,
Scytom, Hunom, Gotom lub Mongołom były dla Barlacha „kamieniem milowym dolnej granicy
czasu” (Markstein der unteren Grenze einer Zeit), „kamiennym poronieniem” (steinerne Mißgeburt)
i „krystalizacją ziemskości” (Christallisierung des Irdischen). Ta wschodnia „prymitywna” inspiracja
okazała się przełomowym doświadczeniem dla „północnoniemieckiego artysty”, nawiązującego do epoki wędrówek ludów i kształtowania się poantycznej Europy. O ile za bezpośrednią spadkobierczynię
klasycznego antyku na początku XX wieku uważano przede wszystkim Francję (obarczoną
dodatkowo krytykowanym hasłem l’art pour l’art), o tyle Niemcy miały przywrócić sztuce
barbarzyńską mistykę (odziedziczoną po Celtach) i zmysł praktyczności (typowy dla Germanów)
zakorzenione w szczególnym umiłowaniu przyrody. Matka Ziemia Barlacha stała się dziełem
prototypowym dla międzywojennej sztuki pomorskiej, reprezentującej rzekomo szorstki temperament
rolników i rybaków.

ale też między opowiadającym a sobą-bohaterem, z wymienności ról i „procesualności wiedzy”. Zapiski są, wedle słów Małgorzaty Czermińskiej, „śladem mentalności odciśniętym na tekście”,
a odautorski gest zebrania ich w jednym tomie stanowić ma ostateczne rozliczenie równoznaczne
z odbudową tożsamości na nieredukowalnej wyrwie w życiorysie. W artykule udowadniam,
że nie jest to do końca możliwe.

According to Her: A Fictional Autobiography of the Mother of Jesus by Maciej Hen
Authors: CHOWANIEC URSZULA ULA
Published: March 2024

Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia powieść Według niej z 2004 roku. Przy okazji tłumaczenia jej na język
angielski autorka przedstawia konceptualne okoliczności powstania powieści, takie jak odradzanie
się świadomości kulturowej wśród polskich Żydów w latach 90.,czy też wagę przemilczenia tej
pozycji w kontekście religijnym 20 lat temu w Polsce. Powieść Według niej to monolog Mariamne,
opowieść o matce Jezusa, prostej, pobożnej Żydówce, która stara się nadać sens wszystkim wydarzeniom.
Ma prawie sto lat, oblężenie Masady dobiegło końca, Druga Świątynia została zniszczona,
świat żydowski jest rozbity na kawałki… Oddając głos marginalizowanej narratorce, Maciej Hen
dokonuje niemal politycznego gestu: to sfabularyzowana opowieść o matce chrześcijańskiego
mesjasza napisana przez żydowskiego pisarza z perspektywy żydowskiej historii, która podkreśla
nowoczesną, silną pozycję narracji marginalnych i narracji kobiecocentrycznych.
Comparative Anatomy, Pollen and Seed Morphology of Two Verbascum Varieties (Scrophulariaceae) and Their Taxonomic Significance
Authors: Kılıç Murat , Mungan Kılıç Fatma
Published: March 2024

In this study, the anatomical, palynological, and seed micromorphological traits of two Verbascum varieties found in the Southeastern Anatolia Region were investigated. These variations are V. sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. adenosepalum Murb. and V. sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. sinuatum L. Cross-sections from the taxa's roots, stems, and leaves were viewed under a light microscope for anatomical study. The xylem components play a significant role in the taxonomic root portions. The pith area is a broad region in stem sections, and the upper portion of the epidermis cells is encircled by a distinct indented cuticle layer. The leaves' primary vein is represented by open collateral bundles. Pollen grains in Verbascum sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. adenosepalum are tricolporate-tricolpate, prolate-spheroidal, and have reticulate exine ornamentation. Similarly, pollen grains in V. sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. sinuatum are tricolporate-tricolpate, prolate, and have reticulate exine ornamentation. The brown seeds of V. sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. adenosepalum and V. sinuatum subsp. sinuatum var. sinuatum have an alveolate, deep and wide posterior region, a truncated beak, and a prismatic-oblong shape. The ornamentation of the seed coat is made up of irregular polygonal cells that have noticeable and dense vesicles. The importance of a few traits in the Verbascum variety delimitation has been investigated in this study. For the purpose of supporting ancestral traits in the infrageneric classification and helping with genus systematics, some pollen and seed characters which are typically connected to pollen and seed micromorphological and anatomical patterns can be applied.
Ruptured ovarian ectopic pregnancy in a primigravid woman: A case report
Authors: Tabatabaei Mirokabad Fahimeh Sadat , Poorebrahimi Mohammad , Zare Garizi Sajad , Tabatabaei Razieh Sadat
Published: March 2024

Background: Ovarian ectopic pregnancy (EP) is one of the rare forms of EP. The use of intrauterine devices and assisted reproduction techniques are among the most important risk factors for ovarian EP. Clinical signs are usually menopause, abdominal pain, and vaginal bleeding. Definitive diagnosis of ovarian EP before its rupture remains a serious challenge and, in most cases, it is diagnosed after rupture when medical treatment has no place and surgery becomes necessary.
Case Presentation: Here, we report a 35-yr-old primigravida woman referred to Shahid Sadoughi hospital, Yazd, Iran with abdominal pain and sudden loss of consciousness. An initial evaluation was done and she underwent laparotomy.
Conclusion: The preferred treatment for ovarian EP is to surgically remove the gestational sac and preserve as much ovarian tissue as possible. However, some cases, like ours, need a complete or partial oophorectomy.
Key words: Ectopic pregnancy, Pregnancy, Ovarian, Laparotomy.
Emprendimiento y empresa familiar: ¿dos disciplinas hermanas o distintas?
Authors: Garcés-Galdeano Lucía , Larraza-Kintana Martín
Published: March 2024

El emprendimiento y la empresa familiar ¿son dos disciplinas hermanas o distintas? Ambas son disciplinas con entidad propia, pero desde el inicio ambas han estado fuertemente conectadas. De hecho, las empresas familiares han sido consideradas como un elemento central del proceso emprendedor donde la influencia de la familia es particularmente relevante en las primeras etapas de la creación de la empresa. Sin embargo, la etapa inicial de estas empresas ha sido poco explorada. Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo. En primer lugar, proporciona una pequeña perspectiva histórica de la evolución de las dos disciplinas académicas y sus interrelaciones, y, en segundo lugar, trata de resumir las principales conclusiones de la escasa literatura sobre la perspectiva del arraigo familiar que estudia el binomio familia-emprendimiento. Por último, el trabajo propone diferentes líneas de investigación para futuros estudios relacionados con la empresa familiar y el emprendimiento.

Authors: Bağdat Aydın , Şenol Aydın
Published: March 2024

Dünyada son yıllarda bilgi teknolojileri çok hızlı değişime uğramaktadır. Bu süreç birçok meslek dalının iş yapış biçimlerini etkilemektedir. Çalışma, farklı illerde muhasebe faaliyetlerini yürüten meslek mensuplarının muhasebedeki dijitalleşme süreçlerine bakışlarını incelemektedir. Çalışmanın amacı, muhasebe meslek mensuplarının muhasebe mesleğindeki dijitalleşmeye, ortaya çıkan yeni kavramlara, muhasebe eğitimine ve muhasebenin geleceğine bakışlarını ortaya koyarak, değişime uyum konusunda öneriler geliştirilmesine katkı sunmaktır. Çalışmada, 25 meslek mensubuna kartopu örneklemesi yöntemi ile yarı yapılandırılmış yüz yüze mülakat yapılmış ve 16 meslek mensubunun verdiği cevaplar çalışma kapsamında analize tabi tutulmuştur. Mülakat sonuçları “endüstri 4.0 teknolojileri, muhasebede yeni kavramlar, muhasebe eğitimi, e-uygulamaların avantaj ve dezavantajları ile muhasebenin geleceği” boyutları açısından kategorize edilerek analiz yapılmıştır. Çalışmada endüstri 4.0 teknolojilerinin muhasebenin geleceğine yön vereceği ve meslekte yeni kavramların ortaya çıkmasında etkili olacağı, meslek mensuplarına dijital dönüşüm üzerine verilen eğitimlerin yetersiz olduğu ve muhasebenin gelecekte müşavirlik, danışmanlık, bütçeleme yönüne evrileceği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

Authors: Siqueira Soares Joyce Aristércia , Ataíde Cândido Gesinaldo
Published: March 2024

A sustentabilidade da política energética de uma nação está relacionada com as condições de acesso à energia, a forma como é aproveitada, explorada e utilizada, o que pode ser possibilitada pela diversificação da matriz energética e processos de articulação político-institucional entre os agentes envolvidos com as atividades de geração, transmissão, distribuição e comercialização da energia. Este artigo se propõe a avaliar a sustentabilidade da política energética brasileira a partir de um conjunto de indicadores de energia pré-selecionados, considerando a adequação desses indicadores a dimensões como: acesso à eletricidade, eficiência energética, diversificação da matriz e articulação político-institucional. Para o alcance do objetivo foi utilizada um conjunto de dados secundários sobre política e planejamento energético no Brasil, os quais foram analisados de forma qualitativa, através da utilização da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados obtidos sugeriram que a política energética brasileira é desenvolvida através de ações que buscam promover acesso à energia, políticas de eficiência energética e programas que visam a diversificação da matriz. Já o processo de articulação político-institucional foi considerado como dimensão fundamental para promover as demais condições/dimensões e  que a política energética no Brasil tem seu desenvolvimento voltado para ações sustentáveis, porém com necessidade de um esforço maior para sua consolidação.

The poor attitude of students towards mathematics in Nigeria has constituted a threat to national development, considering the important of mathematics in all facet of life. This study determines the effect of computer-based software on student’s attitude towards mathematics-graph, using three groups taught with computer-based software, graphic organizers and conventional strategy (discussion method). Gender and computer self-efficacy were used as moderating variables to determine the existence gender disparity in attitude towards mathematics when computer-based software was used and to establish the effect of computer self-efficacy on students’ attitude towards mathematics when taught with computer-based software. The result shows that  computer-based software was more effective in enhancing attitude towards graphs than graphic organizer and conventional strategy. There was also significant interaction effect of treatment and computer self-efficacy; treatment and gender; treatment, computer self-efficacy and gender on attitude towards graphs.  computer-based software was found to significantly improve students’ attitude towards graphs than the conventional strategy. Therefore, computer-based software for use in teaching Mathematics in secondary schools in Nigeria. To this effect mathematics teachers should be trained on the design, development and use of computer assisted instruction package in teaching.

This study examined effect of Ms-Excel spreadsheet technology on senior secondary two students’ achievement and retention in quadratic function graphs in Education Zone C Benue State, Nigeria. The study employed a quasi-experimental, non-randomized pre-test post-test control group design. A sample of 302 SS 2 students from two schools in Benue education zone C were selected from a population of 10,918 SS 2 students for the study using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using Quadratic Function Achievement Test (QFAT) and Quadratic Function Retention Test (QFRT) instruments. The instruments were validated by five experts, two in Mathematics Education, one in Measurement and Evaluation and two Mathematics teachers. The reliability of QFAT was 0.82. Research questions were answered using mean, standard deviations and percentages (scatter gram) while hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the study showed among others, that SS2 students taught quadratic function graphs using Ms-Excel spreadsheet technology improved more on their achievement and retention with no gender difference. Among suggestions made were, the need to create awareness among Mathematics teachers, Mathematics educators and curriculum planners to integrate Ms-Excel spreadsheet in particular and ICT in general as a teaching strategy in Mathematics teaching and learning process.
