Testing Herzberg’s two factor theory on millennials
Authors: Bhatt N. , Chitranshi J. , Mehta M.
Published: June 2022

This study tests Herzberg’s two-factor theory of motivation on working millennials. The purpose of the study is to evaluate what the assumptions and the findings of the original study hold for millennials. With the increasing trend of amalgamation of work life and personal life, job satisfaction and general job happiness have never been more on an individual’s personal life. This impact is far-reaching, with strong indications of affecting the employees’ physical, mental, and social health. In such a scenario, organizations need to keep their employees motivated and satisfied. For studying Herzberg’s two-factor theory of motivation on working millennials, we have selected respondents with work experience of at least one year. We have not restricted the study to any particular industry; hence our sample is across all industries. The type of sampling used was convenient sampling. From the analysis, we have found that for the concerned sample, hygiene factors tower above the motivating factors in terms of job satisfaction for millennials. From the data collection and analysis, we proved that both motivators and hygiene factors affect job satisfaction, unlike what has been said by Herzberg. This study will contribute to the exciting literature on motivation.

Authors: Shah S. , Dasgupta H. , Debgupta S.
Published: June 2022

COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the tourism and hospitality sectors across the globe. Due to the increase in the number of COVID positive cases, governments of countries have imposed strict lockdown globally as a precautionary measure to control the spread of the coronavirus, which has led to restrictions on travel and mobility of individuals from one place to the other. One of the countries that have been severely affected due to the lockdown is the economy of Nepal. Being a tourist-friendly nation, every year, Nepal’s tourism and hospitality sector contributes significantly to its GDP. With a restriction on travel and cancellation of bookings, one of the most important departments under this sector, the hotel industry, is currently struggling to survive due to loss of revenue. The present study tries to understand the challenges and strategies planned by the hotel industry stakeholders in Nepal. A primary survey conducted with hoteliers from 10 hotels reveals major concerns about maintaining a steady financial performance and expectations for government aid to help this sector come back to normalcy.
Role of power distance phenomena in blended learning in higher education post-Covid-19
Authors: Wadhwa B. , Grover P. , Dasgupta S. , Uppal A.
Published: June 2022

COVID has posed several challenges for higher education. There is a rise in blended teaching and learning models that can improve the quality of education, observed Raman. Classroom interaction vital in quality of education is affected by power distance between the teacher and students, states Kasuya. Much research has been done on blended learning but hardly any on the role of power distance in blended learning in higher education, specifically post COVID. Keeping in mind the growing significance of blended learning shortly, it becomes strategically important to understand the role of power distance in blended learning in higher education post-COVID-19. This research paper tries to address the research gap. The study is exploratory, exploring the role of power distancing in blended learning formats during post-COVID-19. The findings indicate that there is a relationship between power distance and the autonomy of an individual. The higher the power distance between a teacher and a student from the teacher’s perspective, it becomes teacher-centred learning. So blended learning with the best of low power distances in terms of the media and delivery mechanism of offline and online ensures the mitigation of power between the teacher and the taught. The research will help the universities create a perfect blended learning format that enhances the quality of higher education. Due to the paucity of time and resources and a ban on respondent interaction due to pandemics, this research is based on secondary data analysis.
Stress among caregivers of schizophrenia – a pilot analysis
Authors: Ajithakumari G. , Hemavathy V.
Published: June 2022

Caregivers of patients with schizophrenia experience a lot of stress and emotional strain, and they are frequently required to take care of them for the rest of their lives. Having a relative with mental illness can be stressful for many families.In India, the family is an important source of support for the mentally sick. Despite their incredible fortitude in caring for their relatives, Indian families face a great deal of physical and emotional suffering. The bad feelings and subsequent strain experienced as a result of caring for a chronically ill individual are referred to as caregiver’s burden. The overall response of an organism to external demands or pressure is known as stress. Any incident or occurrence that a person perceives a danger to his or her coping skills or resources can be the source of stress, and coping is a complex process. Ignorance and misconceptions among patient caregivers, deinstitutionalization policies, and a lack of resources all contribute to a high illness burden among caregivers. Many families believe they lack the required coping techniques to assist in the management of their relatives’ mental illness. Serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, have catastrophic consequences for both sufferers and their families. A pilot study was done among 28 careers of schizophrenia to examine the study’s viability and feasibility. This study advocated for a true experimental research design .Conclusion: This pilot study concludes by demonstrating the efficacy of psychosocial therapies on stress in schizophrenia careers.
Breast cancer awareness package on knowledge, attitude and practice towards breast self examination to prevent breast cancer among women in adopted communities – a pilot analysis
Authors: Priyadarshini P. , Sarath S. , Hemavathy V.
Published: June 2022

Breast health is extremely important for all women. However, the breast is another region of the human body that is susceptible to cancer. Breast cancer is becoming increasingly common these days, and it is now one of the leading causes of mortality globally. According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer is the most common disease among women worldwide, claiming the lives of hundreds of thousands of women each year and impacting nations at all stages of development. In fact, it is the most common cancer in women, with a significant incidence observed among those aged 30 to 50. The goal of the World Health Organization’s Worldwide Breast Cancer Initiative (GBCI) is to reduce global breast cancer mortality by 2.5 percent each year; As a result, 2.5 million breast cancer deaths will be avoided globally between 2020 and 2040. To achieve these goals, three pillars must be in place: health endorsement for early detection, suitable identification at the right time, and comprehensive breast cancer management. Because of advances in early detection and care, the incidence of women dying of breast cancer has decreased by 41% from 1989 to 2018. During that time, more than 403,000 breast cancer deaths were prevented.
Effectiveness of health education on knowledge on diabetic care among rural adult diabetic patients – a pilot analysis
Authors: Hemavathy V. , Jegatha C.
Published: June 2022

Diabetic populations are anticipated to increase from 171 million to 366 million in 2030, with the greatest rates in India, China, and the United States. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that generates high glucose levels in the blood. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that India has over 70 million diabetics and is on its way to become the world’s diabetes capital. Patients had a 7.20 knowledge score on the pretest and an 11.78 knowledge score on the posttest, resulting in a mean difference of 4.58 knowledge score, this is a considerable and statistically significant increase in knowledge. The relationship between the patient’s demographic characteristics and their post-test knowledge score..Patients with a high education level and longer disease duration got a higher knowledge score than those with a lower level of education and a shorter duration of illness. The chi square test and Yates corrected chi square test were used to corroborate it.
Intelligent digitalization of cardiovascular risks
Authors: Gromov Y.Y. , Gorbunov A.V. , Tyutyunnik V.M.
Published: June 2022

The aim of the study was to develop a mathematical model of the risks of the cardiovascular system based on the selected factors affecting cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and to test the developed mathematical model on a sample of clinical examples. CVD risk factors was grouped by types: biological indicators (anthropometric, biochemical, morphological, physiological), disease indicators, social indicators. An assessment of the degree of risk for each of the indicators was carried out by calculating the degree of risk using the membership formula, then evaluating the hazard class (according to the degree of risk) using a logical-linguistic model and a training algorithm for the neural fuzzy classifier of the network. The correctness of the risk determination by the developed model was confirmed by the analyzed 60 verified cases of acute cerebrovascular accident (18 men and 42 women). The analysis of the test results of the constructed neuro-fuzzy classifier allows us to conclude that it works satisfactorily even when using incomplete information, which makes it possible to use it for prompt decision-making. The results of testing on clinical examples, with an acceptable level of significance of a type I error of 0.05, showed that the risk was determined correctly. The factors influencing the risk of CVD are identified and designated as the corresponding linguistic variables. A logical-linguistic model was built, from which a transition was made to a hybrid neuro-fuzzy classifier, which allows assessing the influence of the identified factors on the level of risk of CVD. As a result of approbation of the model of intellectual digitalization of risks of the cardiovascular system on real clinical examples, it was confirmed that the risk was determined correctly, which means that it is possible to assert about the prospects for introducing this model into clinical practice and guaranteeing medical specialist more accurate diagnosis and optimization of their activities.

The article presents experimental evidence of the validity of our hypothesis that progress in the formation and development of self-control can be fixed by assessing heart rate variability using the calculation of the Baevsky stress index (SI). Confirmation has also been obtained that this sort of cardiometric indicators can be applied as an essential element of effective bio-feedback in the course of improving a person’s ability to control his/her own psycho-emotional state using game sand modeling techniques. It is shown that the use of cardiometry in the development of self-control skills by means of game sand modeling contributes to the systematic phased internalization of the orientation scheme by the person, which he/she needs to control his/her own psycho-emotional state. The data obtained also demonstrate that the cardiometric measurements used in the course of such training help increase the rationality and awareness of the self-regulation skills to be formed and developed, and aid in strengthening the mindset for their constructive use in everyday life.
Identificando la desigualdad en los patrones de movilidad en transporte público
Authors: González Felipe , Anapolsky, Sebastián
Published: June 2022

Diversos trabajos sobre movilidad han profundizado en el estrecho vínculo entre los patrones de movilidad y la desigualdad social. Utilizando datos del Sistema nico de Boleto Electrónico del transporte público (SUBE), datos censales y la ubicación de barrios marginales, este artículo realiza un análisis empírico de los patrones de viaje de diferentes grupos socioeconómicos que utilizan el transporte público en la Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Para realizar este análisis, procesamos datos de la tarjeta SUBE con el fin de inferir destinos y crear cadenas de viaje diarias para cada usuario. Dado que todas las transacciones están georreferenciadas en el origen de cada viaje, asignamos a los usuarios un nivel socioeconómico construido con datos censales considerando la ubicación del primer viaje del día (que presumiblemente corresponde a una parada cercana a sus hogares). Dado que la tarjeta SUBE ofrece una tarifa social para un grupo de usuarios de bajo nivel socioeconómico, se utiliza esta información para validar el indicador de nivel socioeconómico utilizado. A continuación, calculamos las distancias de viaje, desarrollamos matrices de origen y destino y creamos mapas de patrones de viaje para los diferentes grupos socioeconómicos. Encontramos que los viajes de los estratos socioeconómicos bajos están más dispersos en el territorio, mientras que los viajes de los estratos socioeconómicos altos están más concentrados en la zona central administrativa y de negocios de la ciudad. Los grupos de menores ingresos tienden a tener destinos menos conectados, lo que se traduce en viajes más largos y más transbordos, y no suelen utilizar una estrategia multimodal eficiente. El reparto modal se caracteriza por un mayor uso del autobús (en lugar de metro o tren) y, aun cuando se producen transbordos, hay una mayor probabilidad de combinar dos autobuses en lugar de subterráneo y tren. En el caso de los usuarios que viven cerca de barrios marginales, observamos que los viajes son más cortos, más directos y con menos transbordos que los demás usuarios de nivel socioeconómico bajo.
Neural Network-Based Sentiment Classification of Russian Sentences into Four Classes
Authors: Kosterin Maksim A. , Paramonov Ilya V.
Published: June 2022

The paper is devoted to the classification of Russian sentences into four classes: positive, negative, mixed, and neutral. Unlike the majority of modern study in this area, the mixed sentiment class is introduced. Mixed sentiment sentences contain positive and negative sentiments simultaneously.To solve the problem, the following tools were applied: the attention-based LSTM neural network, the dual attention-based GRU neural network, the BERT neural network with several modifications of the output layer to provide classification into four classes. The experimental comparison of the efficiency of various neural networks were performed on three corpora of Russian sentences. Two of them consist of users’ reviews: one with wear reviews and another with hotel reviews. The third corpus contains news from Russian media. The highest weighted F-measure in experiments (0.90) was achieved when using BERT on the wear reviews corpus, as well as the highest weighted F-measure for positive and negative sentences (0.92 and 0.93, respectively). The best classification results for neutral and mixed sentences were achieved on the news corpus. For them F-measure was 0.72 and 0.58, respectively. As a result of experiments, the significant superiority of the BERT transfer network was demonstrated in comparison with older neural networks LTSM and GRU, especially for classification of sentences with weakly expressed sentiments. The error analysis showed that “adjacent” (positive/negative and mixed) classes are worse classified with BERT than “opposite” classes (positive and negative, neutral and mixed).
Interregional mechanisms for protection of African migrants in the Gulf Region: What prospects for Africa?
Authors: Odhiambo Paul
Published: June 2022

La migración es un fenómeno común en África. Los ciudadanos migran en el continente por un sinnúmero de razones que incluyen educación, reunificación familiar, empleo, comercio e inversión. Un número significativo de africanos viajan al Medio Oriente en búsqueda de mejores oportunidades económicas. Con la intensificación de la globalización y los avances tecnológicos, se espera que la movilidad humana a través de fronteras internacionales se incremente en las próximas décadas. Aun con los retos que enfrenta la migración internacional, los migrantes juegan un papel fundamental en los países de destino ya que incrementan la población en edad de trabajar, contribuyen con el desarrollo de capital humano y enriquecen los procesos tecnológicos. Los países de origen han centrado su interés en sus comunidades en la diáspora no solo por el incremento de las remesas, sino también por los conocimientos de los migrantes. El creciente número de migrantes africanos exige una alianza estratégica entre África y Medio Oriente a través un foro multilateral que facilite las consultas y la coordinación de políticas para el beneficio de ambas partes. Este artículo analiza la migración intraafricana, los patrones de migración de África hacia Medio Oriente y los países del Consejo de Cooperación del Golfo (CCG), las motivaciones de la migración, las contribuciones positivas y los retos de los migrantes, las respuestas nacionales y de las Comunidades Económicas Regionales (REC) frente a la protección de los migrantes. Las recomendaciones fundamentales incluyen el fortalecimiento de políticas de libre movilidad que son críticas para que África pueda proteger los derechos de los migrantes dentro del continente, el trabajo hacia la mejora de la información sobre migración que pueda informar las políticas públicas, fomentar la cooperación interregional entre las REC africanas para aprovechar el potencial de la migración intraafricana, y acelerar el establecimiento de un foro multilateral efectivo para África y Medio Oriente encaminado a las consultas políticas y la coordinación para garantizar sus intereses comunes.

Enablers, Barriers and Impacts of Digital Financial Services: Insights from an Evidence Gap Map and Implications for Taxation
Authors: Mader Philip , Duvendack Maren , Lees Adrienne , Larquemin Aurelie , Macdonald Keir
Published: June 2022

Digital financial services (DFS) have expanded rapidly over the last decade, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. They have been accompanied by claims that they can alleviate poverty, empower women, help businesses grow, and improve macroeconomic outcomes and government effectiveness. As they have become more widespread, some controversy has arisen as governments have identified DFS revenues and profits as potential sources of tax revenue. Evidence-based policy in relation to taxing DFS requires an understanding of the enablers and barriers (preconditions) of DFS, as well as the impacts of DFS. This report aims to present insights from an Evidence Gap Map (EGM) on the enablers and barriers, and subsequent impacts, of DFS, including any research related to taxation. An EGM serves to clearly identify the gaps in the evidence base in a visually intuitive way, allowing researchers to address these gaps. This can help to shape future research agendas. Our EGM draws on elements from the systematic review methodology. We develop a transparent set of inclusion criteria and comprehensive search strategy to identify relevant studies, and assess the confidence we can place in their causal findings. An extensive search initially identified 389 studies, 205 of which met the inclusion criteria and were assessed based on criteria of cogency, transparency and credibility. We categorised 40 studies as high confidence, 97 as medium confidence, and 68 as low confidence. We find that the evidence base is still relatively thin, but growing rapidly. The high-confidence evidence base is dominated by quantitative approaches, especially experimental study designs. The geographical focus of many studies is East Africa. The dominant DFS intervention studied is mobile money. The majority of studies focus on DFS usage for payments and transfers; fewer studies focus on savings, very few on credit, and none on insurance. The strongest evidence base on enablers and barriers relates to how user attributes and industry structure affect DFS. Little is known about how policy and politics, including taxation, and macroeconomic and social factors, affect DFS. The evidence base on impacts is strongest at the individual and household level, and partly covers the business level. The impact of DFS on the macroeconomy, and the meso level of industry and government, is very limited. We find no high-confidence evidence on the role of taxation. We need more higher quality evidence on a variety of topics. This should particularly look at enablers, constraints and impacts, including the role of taxation, beyond the individual and household level. Research going forward should cover more geographic areas and a wider range of purposes DFS can serve (use cases), including savings, and particularly credit. More methodological variety should be encouraged – experiments can be useful, but are not the best method for all research questions.
Exploring the Nexus of Covid-19, Precarious Migration and Child Labour on the Cambodian-Thai Border
Authors: Oeur Il , Hak Sochanny , Cham Soeun , Nil Damnang , Apgar Marina
Published: June 2022

This report shares findings from qualitative research on the impacts of Covid-19 on Cambodian migrant workers in four sites along the Cambodia-Thai border. Government restrictions in Thailand and the border closure in February 2020 led to job losses and reduced working hours, and ultimately to an increase in the rate of return migration. Return migrants were forced to use informal points of entry with the facilitation of informal brokers, facing increased costs and risks and, in the process, becoming undocumented. This report shows an unequal access to health services between documented and undocumented migrants. Even in the context of Covid-19, some migrants continue to travel with young children who support the family, mostly through light agricultural work. URI
Youth COVID-19 Vaccine Engagement in Cleveland, Ohio, United States
Authors: Schmidt-Sane Megan , Benninger Elizabeth , Hrynick Tabitha , Ripoll Santiago
Published: June 2022

Despite overall progress in COVID-19 vaccination rates in Cleveland, vaccine inequity persists as young people from minority communities are often less likely to be vaccinated. COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is not just an issue of misinformation or lack of information. Vaccine hesitancy among young people is reflective of wider issues such as mistrust in the state or the medical establishment and negative experiences during the pandemic. This report is based on case study research conducted among minority youth (ages 12-18) in Cleveland, Ohio. While public discourse may label young people as “vaccine hesitant,” we found that there were hesitation differences based on social location and place. We found the greatest vaccine hesitancy among older youth (15+ years old), particularly those from minoritized communities. Unvaccinated youth were also more likely to be from families and friend groups that were unvaccinated. While some expressed distrust of the vaccines, others reported that COVID-19 prevention was not a priority in their lives. Instead, concerns over food security, livelihood, and education take precedence. Minority youth were more likely to report negative experiences with authorities, including teachers at their schools and police in their communities. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy is embedded in a context that drives relationships of mistrust between minority communities and authorities, with implications for COVID-19 vaccine uptake. Young people’s attitudes toward vaccines are further patterned by experiences within their community, school, family, and friend groups.
Political Settlements: The Case of Moldova
Authors: Haider Huma
Published: June 2022

The new elite in post-1991 independent Moldova gradually captured state institutions, while internal drivers of reforms have generally been weak. Civil society has had limited effectiveness; and the media is largely dominated by political and business circles (BTI, 2022). The Moldovan diaspora has emerged in recent years, however, as a powerful driver of reform. In addition, new political parties and politicians have in recent years focused on common social and economic problems, rather than exploiting identity and geopolitical cleavages. These two developments played a crucial role in the transformative changes in the presidential and parliamentary elections in 2020 and 2021, respectively.1 The new Moldovan leadership has experienced many challenges, however, in achieving justice and anti-corruption reforms—the primary components of their electoral platform—due to the persistence of rent-seeking and corruption in the justice sector (Minzarari, 2022). This rapid review examines literature—primarily academic and non-governmental organisation (NGO)-based—in relation to the political settlement of Moldova. It provides an overview of the political settlement framework and the political history of Moldova. It then draws on the literature to explore aspects of the social foundation and the power configuration in Moldova; and implications for governance and inclusive development. The report concludes with recommendations for government, domestic reformers, Moldovan society, and donors for improving inclusive governance and development in Moldova, identified throughout the literature. This report does not cover political settlement in relation to Transnistria.
Use of Online Space in Pakistan Targeting Women, Religious Minorities, Activists and Voices of Dissent
Authors: Iffat Idris
Published: June 2022

There is ample evidence that online hate speech in Pakistan is directed against women, religious minorities, journalists, voices of dissent and activists. The targeting of many of these groups is an expansion online of the traditional hostility and abuse they face offline. However, the internet has made such abuse easier and online hate speech is growing as internet use rises in the country. Those responsible vary somewhat: women and religious minorities are typically targeted by religio-political parties and their followers, while journalists and activists are often targeted by government/the military. In all cases, online hate speech can have a serious offline impact, including physical violence, and restrictions on people’s freedom/ability to work/post online. This review, looking at online hate speech in Pakistan in relation to particular groups, draws largely on reports by think-tanks/NGOs as well as media articles and blogs. Relatively little academic literature was found on the subject, but grey literature was quite extensive, especially on certain religious minorities (Ahmadis) and women.
Narcotics Flows Through Eastern Africa: the Changing Role of Tanzania and Mozambique
Authors: Boustati Boustati
Published: June 2022

In the last few decades, the southern route’s use for drug trafficking gained prominence as increased law enforcement and unrest in the Middle East made the traditional ‘Balkan route’ less viable. This southern route transports drugs, mainly heroin, from its production in Afghanistan to Pakistan or Iran, to eastern Africa – including Tanzania and Mozambique- and consequently to South Africa, after which it is moved to Europe (Aucoin, 2018; Otto & Jernberg, 2020). Notable targets of trafficking via the southern route have been the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands (UNDOC, 2015). It is difficult to know for certain the quantities of drugs being trafficked through eastern Africa, but the literature puts it at up to 40 tonnes, with 5 of those staying behind, while the rest is transported overseas (Haysom et al., 2018a, 2018b). Due to various political and economic shifts, methamphetamines produced in Afghanistan recently also began to be trafficked alongside heroin shipments through the southern route, with recent estimates putting it at 50% of drugs being trafficked (Eligh, 2021). Most of the literature agrees that, in recent years, drug trafficking routes in eastern Africa have shifted due to political changes, but there is no evidence to suggest that the amount being trafficked have decreased.
Investors and Taxation: do Companies and Investors Avoid Paying Taxation After a Coup?

Published: June 2022

This rapid literature review aims to gather evidence relating to whether investors and companies have actively sought to maintain operations in a country (primarily for profit and livelihood of employee reasons) while avoid paying taxation for ethical or political reasons in the event of a coup or similar regime which lacks credibility with a proportion of the international community. It then explores the literature around the various responses that have occurred following or related to political regimes with significant domestic and international opposition.
Diskursus Pangan, Ekofeminisme dan Food Sovereignty di Era COVID-19
Authors: Styawan Wahyu Eka
Published: June 2022

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many sectors experienced shocks, not the food sector. In the food sector, there are still many problems facing difficulties from the presence of the COVID-19 wave. Some of the contributing factors are the transformation of agriculture from traditional to modern. Since the introduction of the green revolution, food has led to an intensification framework ranging from global agricultural food production and a focus on productivity, such as requiring farmers to grow monocultures. This condition causes land degradation, environmental degradation and biodiversity so that in the long term food security is threatened. Quantity-based intensification also causes local wisdom of farmers' agriculture, such as farmers' attachment to the ecosystem, the ability to produce local seeds, and the determination of subsistence factors, one of which is the barn system. On the other hand, besides having an impact on the ecological aspect, it also has an impact on gender, which in the end leads to women's injustice. Several notes in previous research have found that agricultural intensification resulted in a gender burden in farmer households, as well as an increased burden on female farmers. The disconnection of farmers from the ecosystem, the threat of ecological cracks and gender climate change, are links that cannot be separated, because they affect each other. This paper will describe and analyze the problem of food insecurity; pay attention to gender and ecological gaps using ecofeminism and food sovereignty approaches as an effort to reconstruct the existence of food insecurity; and learn from the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Anteriormente se reportaba en la literatura que terceros molares en mala posición como horizontales, mesio y disto angulados, era indicación clara para la extracción del diente. La verticalización de molares con minitornillo en la rama mandibular, corresponde a una técnica ortoquirúrgica en la cual a través de movimientos sobre el eje longitudinal de un diente, se logra un buen posicionamiento en la arcada y la preservación del diente, evitando la extracción. El propósito del trabajo es describir el abordaje quirúrgico y resultados, de la verticalización de un tercer molar inferior incluido en posición mesioangular, a través de la colocación de minitornillo utilizando la rama mandibular como anclaje de un paciente femenino de 35 años de edad.

Published: June 2022

El siguiente articulo describe dos casos clínicos de ulceras traumáticas pos-anestesia en niños, luego de un tratamiento odontológico, en el cual se utilizó la infiltración de anestesia local, como parte del tratamiento terapéutico para la perdida de la sensibilidad del sector a tratar. Los efectos del anestésico continuaron al terminar el tratamiento, lo que estimuló por la falta de sensibilidad la curiosidad en los niños que se succionen o se muerdan el tejido blando, esto provocó lesiones graves en la mucosa oral. La importancia de estas lesiones pos-anestésicas radica en la prevención, es decir que el profesional que atienda pacientes pediátricos, debe prevenir y evitar estas lesiones graves autoinflingidas por el niño, dándole las recomendaciones verbalmente y por escrito a los padres.

Educating children to be informed, responsible, socially adept citizens who care about others is an overarching purpose for schools. A rising variety of preventive and child development initiatives are being implemented in schools. Insufficient coordination with other school activities and neglect of implementation and assessment variables essential for a significant program impact these programs' current implications. They are not doomed to failure in the long term. The other challenges for scholars in school-based action research are identifying practical models to prevent problem characteristics, promoting positive child development, and supporting widespread development and sustainability of evidence-based preschool through educational practice. To conceptualize good youth development programs through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in schools, this research presents integrated social, emotional, and intellectual education (ISEIE). School interventions are necessary to implement the social and emotional skills on self-understanding, social knowledge, self-management, relationship management, responsibility, and decision-making. Schools are the best place to implement all these programs to create a better generation. To back up this viewpoint, this study looks at research from illustrative studies and research syntheses. In the end, this paper provides suggestions for implementing programs that combine social, emotional, and intellectual development.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the management of dental extractions in patients affected by coagulation disorders in order to prevent bleeding intraoperative and postoperative complications. Subjects and Methods: This study included 17 patients with a diagnosis of a coagulation disorder, who had been subjected to a single or multiple dental extraction. Recombinant activated Factor VII was administered in those patients who were affected by a deficit of factor VII ranged between 10,5% and 21%. The other patients were treated locally with tranexamic acid. Results: A total of 50 teeth were extracted, 7 by surgical extraction and 43 by simple extraction. Of the 17 patients included 9 of them suffering from factor VII deficiency, 5 from factor V deficiency, 1 from Glanzmann's thrombasthenia and 2 from Haemophilia A. Pretreatment with recombinant activated factor VII was performed on a total of 8 patients with factor VII deficiency; the remaining 9 patients underwent tranexamic acid treatment. 1 hemorragic postoperative complication was observed. Conclusions: Surgical and no surgical extractions appear to be a safe procedure for patients affected by coagulation disorders when appropriate prophylaxis is adopted.

Published: June 2022

Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre altitud y mortalidad por COVID-19 en fallecidos con diabetes mellitus en Perú durante la primera ola. Materiales y métodos: Realizamos un análisis transversal de las defunciones registradas en el Sistema Nacional de Defunciones del Perú (SINADEF). Seleccionamos a las personas con diagnóstico de diabetes mellitus registrado mediante el código de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades-10ma edición (CIE-10) o por diagnóstico escrito si no estuviera codificado. Definimos muerte por COVID-19 si presentara el diagnóstico CIE-10 de COVID-19 confirmado o probable. Asimismo, que tuviera una causa básica de muerte por infección según la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. La altitud se asignó a cada individuo según la altitud del distrito de procedencia. Se calculó la razón de prevalencia de la muerte por COVID -19 según altitud y realizamos un análisis multivariado mediante regresión de Poisson ajustado a las variables socio demográficas. Resultados: Incluimos a 16406 fallecidos con diabetes mellitus entre marzo-diciembre de 2020. Un 34.3% fallecieron por Covid-19 y el 9.7% era procedente de zonas por encima de 2500 metros sobre el nivel del mar (msnm). Hallamos que los fallecidos por COVID-19 por encima de 2500 msnm era 19% menor comparado con zonas menores a 1500 msnm ajustado a edad, sexo, tipo de seguro, hipertensión arterial, obesidad, enfermedad coronaria e ictus cerebral. (RP 0.81; IC95% 0.75 – 0.88; p<0.001). Conclusión: Una mayor altitud se asocia con menor proporción de fallecidos por COVID-19 con diabetes mellitus durante la primera ola de la pandemia en el Perú.
