Published: January 2023

Actualmente, hay un gran interés por el enfoque de la transdisciplinariedad para el estudio de los problemas complejos, sin embargo, en la formación universitaria de la Psicología, la cual se avoca a resolver estos problemas complejos, predominan los enfoques disciplinarios, interdisciplinarios y subdisciplinarios. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue investigar los principales cambios curriculares que se realizaron y cuáles son los temas que se abordan en la enseñanza de la transdisciplina en la educación superior, enfocándose en el campo de la Psicología. Por consiguiente, se realizó una revisión sistemática siguiendo el método PRISMA y se encontraron sesenta registros, de los cuales se eliminaron veintiuno; por tanto, los artículos analizados fueron treinta y nueve. Las principales temáticas abordadas desde la transdisciplina fueron el desarrollo y la educación sustentable. El análisis de la revisión mostró que aún no se han presentado propuestas para la educación transdisciplinaria en el campo de la Psicolo

Lactoferrin as a feed additive is worth to be explored. However, reports on its application are contradictory, which might be associated with the genetic relatedness. Here we compare the lactoferrin nucleotide and its deduced amino acid sequence. Sequence data for lactoferrin of various animal and human were download from GenBank. The phylogenetic relatedness was inferred and the amino acid sequences were aligned to identify conserved and polymorphic sites. The protein three-dimension structures were estimated using online software. The result showed the lengths of lactoferrin, lactotransferrin or ovotransferrin are 703–711 residues. The phylogeny showed that the lactoferrins of buffalo, cow, goat, pig, camel, and horse formed one group; monkey, human, and gorilla formed a second group; and dog and cat formed a third group. Chicken ovotransferrin was an outgroup. Genetic distances between groups were 0.242–0.061, while smallest span between taxa was 0.016 (human to gorilla) and the highest was 0.612 (chicken to goat). The conserved residues spanned from the amino terminus to the carboxy terminus. There are 27 conserved cysteine residues. N-link glycosylation of the “NXS” and “NXT” motives of lactoferrin diverge between species. A species specific or group specific lactoferrin supplement should be beneficial to animal production.

Published: January 2023

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of death in men and women, comprising about 10% of cancer deaths after breast and lung cancer. The most significant risk factors currently implicated in the etiology of this cancer are genetic, likely due to several mutations. Methods: The study explored the involvement of genetic factors in these pathologies; specifically, exon 4 of the TP53 gene was studied in 15 CRC patients and compared with 10 healthy individuals as controls. The position of the marker mutations was determined with the Mutation Surveyor software version 5.1.2. DnaSP version 5.10, MEGA version 7.014, and the program Arlequin version 3.1 were used to highlight the parameters of variability, differentiation, and the demo-genetic evolution of our study populations. The pathogenicity of the mutations was determined through Polyphen2, TAMISER, and ClinVar. Results: Our results showed the presence of a recurrent mutation of the TP53 gene in both tumor and healthy tissue where proline was replaced with arginine at codon 72. This mutation was predicted to be benign. The presence of this mutation in healthy tissue can be considered a relatively late event in colorectal tumorigenesis. In addition, the P47L, D49A, W53S, and D48G mutations appeared to be suspicious because they were predicted to be potentially damaging. This finding suggests the genes’ involvement in the pathology of CRCs in our study population. The cancer tissue sequences contained an average of 2.59 nucleotide differences that resulted in amino acid changes. The Nei genetic distance confirms this variability between tumor tissues. Conclusion: These results suggest that variants in exon 4 of the TP53 gene may contribute to the development of CRCs. These mutations could constitute molecular markers in CRC and possibly help in the development of early diagnosis

Several diseases are associated with Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and they can be life threatening especially in immunocompromised individuals. Moreover, there is no well-established EBV prevention and control strategies in Nigeria. Therefore, this study was carried out to assess the prevalence of Epstein Barr Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) IgM antibody among university students in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. A hospital based cross-sectional survey was adopted to randomly analyze 91 students attending lectures in University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to analyze EBNA IgM antibody in the samples obtained. Chi-square analysis was used to determine the association of the infection with socio-demographic factors. Of the 91 subjects, 3(3.2%) were seropositive for EBNA IgM antibody while 88(96.7%) were observed to be seronegative for EBNA IgM antibody. Sera EBNA IgM positivity was highest in age group 20-25 years (4.7%), single (3.2%), male (3.8%), students (3.9), sexually inactive (4.0%), oral sex (2.4%), non-Anal sex (3.4%), never using condoms (5.0%), dry kissing (11.1%), Non-smokers (4.0%), no history of blood transfusion (3.3%), no history of tissue transplant (3.2%), no history of surgery (3.2%). This study confirms the presence of Epstein Barr virus primary infection among university students in Port Harcourt, and an onward risk of Infectious mononucleosis. This comes with the responsibility of establishing surveillance programs for detection, treatment and control of EBV in Port Harcourt and Nigeria at large.

“Can you please refill the bird feeder, Daddy?” It seemed like such a simple request from my 7-year-old daughter, Faye. “No problem!” I replied. But then there was a problem. I didn’t get to it that day. Or the next. I don’t know exactly how long it was before I finally completed this easy, 5-minute job—two weeks? Three? Along the way I kept telling myself, “I really need to do that”—and then pushing it off.

Enhancing leadership competencies is crucial for non-academic employees to get promoted to an extant position. This study determined the leadership competencies of managers in a university as a basis for a development plan. More so, it used descriptive and correlational research methods and utilized weighted mean, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and Friedman test for data analysis. The embedded design in the mixed method technique was used for data collection of the five-leadership competency cluster on People, Team, Execution, Education (foundation), and Technical among the 123 respondents from three universities. Descriptive and correlational research method was utilized. Weighted mean, Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and Friedman test were used for data analysis. Key findings showed that females subjugated the non-academic discipline were mostly mid-’50s, married, finished a higher degree, and enjoyed a career for about 16-20 years. The most developed leadership competency was the technical cluster. SUCs managers were rated as more competent than private managers. On the assessment made by managers regarding the level of leadership competency based on demographic profile, the result showed that sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, and years in service had no significant effect. The correlation between performance rating and level of competencies has no significance. Using the assessed leadership competencies, a development plan for employees in the non-teaching position was crafted.

Published: January 2023

The adoption of continuous development mechanisms including ISO 9001 among public sector organizations intends to improve the government’s capability in providing high-quality products and services to the public. The study was conducted among 70 employees of DepEd Tanauan City during the implementation of ISO 9001. The respondents were grouped into either ISO process owners or non-ISO process owners. Using Difference-in-Differences Model (DID), this quantitative research focused on estimating the effect of people involved in the implementation of ISO 9001 on employee performance. Findings revealed that the level of job engagement in the implementation of ISO 9001 among employees of DepEd Tanauan City is evident using the Job Engagement Scale (JES) by Rich. More so, ISO process owners are invested to participate in people-involvement interventions in the implementation of ISO 9001. Between employee engagement and employee performance, people’s involvement in the implementation of ISO 9001 has a significant effect to work performances of DepEd Tanauan employees. The increase in performance rating can be attributed to their engagement in ISO 9001 since process owners have deliberate roles and functions in its implementation. They are exposed to different capability-building activities such as training, workshops, seminars, and focus group discussions that intensify their functional knowledge about quality management systems. Accordingly, people involvement plays a vital role in the effective implementation of ISO 9001. Keywords: people involvement, employee performance, ISO 9001, quality management system, public service
A multicriteria model to evaluate tenders for green procurement of public works
Authors: Tavares Luis , Ferreira Jose , Ricardo Alexandre
Published: January 2023

Public procurement is quite an important activity in the European Union as it corresponds to more than 13% of the GNP in the EU (2017), and public works account for more than €500 000 M, which is about 25% of the total public procured value. The construction sector is responsible for about 38% of energy-related carbon emissions and 50% of resource consumption. Therefore, procurement of public works (PPW) should be considered a strategic instrument to pursue sustainable policies, but, quite often, the award criterion does not consider the sustainability objectives. The authors present in this paper a new multicriteria model to evaluate tenders to award design or design and build contracts for public works, respecting the principles of public procurement expressed by the European Directives of 2014 and pursuing the sustainability objectives according to the so-called Green Procurement. This model can be easily applied as it is confirmed by its application to the study of the procurement of a new public hospital in Portugal.
2023 SDG4 scorecard on progress towards national SDG 4 benchmarks: focus on early childhood
Authors:   UNESCO
Published: January 2023

This is the first attempt to assess progress towards the 2025 and 2030 benchmarks, or national targets, that countries set over the past 18 months on seven SDG 4 indicators, in fulfilment of a commitment they made in 2015. The assessment covers the period 2015–20, just before the onset of COVID-19, which disrupted not only education development but also data collection systems.It highlights the importance of the benchmarking process, also recognized by the UN Secretary-General in the Transforming Education Summit in September 2022. Compiling the benchmark database has revealed differences in data sources and indicator definitions used, which will require better coordination between the national and global levels to be resolved. The process further highlights the need for more data, as they are currently insufficient to understand past trends and evaluate future prospects for a number of indicators. In many cases, countries also need to set more and better-informed national targets, notably on the gender gap in completion rates and in learning outcome indicators.This publication surveys overall progress on all benchmark indicators and looks more closely at individual country progress in three of them. One indicator – the participation rate in organized learning one year before primary – is further analysed to understand how progress may be associated with free and compulsory pre-primary education legislation, equity-oriented regulation of private provision, and public spending. Ultimately, the purpose of benchmarking is to encourage countries to link progress with policy change and learn from other countries’ experience.

Urban afforestation has not accompanied, in extent, urbanization in places where population growth is the factor for the expansion of local territories.  The objective of this study was to promote a quantiqualitative analysis about the benefits that urban green areas provide to the populations where they occur. For this accomplishment, a Systematic Literature Review was employed, with an observational nature. The secondary data for the composition were obtained from specialized electronic links such as the Portal of the Coordination for Research and Teaching of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES). The data obtained from the 23 selected literatures identified that, in most of them (n = 5.0; 65.2%), the researches associate "green areas with quality of life, or even "green areas with health and quality of life (n = 9.0; 39.13%). There were also citations as to the benefits of green areas in urban perimeters such as suitability for leisure, recreation, and conservation of flora and fauna. As disadvantages, the researches cited the replanting of vegetation with inadequate species, whose surface roots tend to damage the sidewalk and sidewalk, which can cause falls in visually impaired people and become a non-transitable area for the physically impaired.

Considerando a terceirização no setor público, que constantemente tem sido utilizada como uma ferramenta para otimização de custos, este trabalho teve como questão norteadora da pesquisa investigar se há benefícios para a educação pública ao se terceirizar atividades-meio e fins. O presente estudo tomou como foco de análise a percepção de gestoras de quatro escolas públicas: duas pertencentes à Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e duas pertencentes à rede de atendimento da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Duque de Caxias, no que se refere à terceirização de atividades-meio, já que até o presente momento, na prática, ainda não houve a subcontratação das atividades-fim nas secretarias de educação, que seriam a contratação de professores por empresas terceirizadas. Portanto, procede-se à pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, cuja natureza e técnica de análise de dados, amparou-se na pesquisa qualitativa, pois se utilizou da técnica das entrevistas feitas com gestoras de quatro escolas, sendo duas municipais e duas estaduais. Desse modo, observou-se que em detrimento ao pensamento inicial de que o serviço público prestado por funcionários de empresas terceirizadas seria menos eficiente, as respostas às entrevistas demonstraram que isso não procede, que os subcontratados respondem à altura, mesmo não havendo concursados nas mesmas funções relacionadas.

Productivity assessment is classified as an important aspect in measuring the operational success of a company whose implementation has not been optimally implemented by some companies in Indonesia, even in the world. The purpose of this qualitative-descriptive study is to analyze the level of profitability in assessing company productivity at CV Sinar Surya Parepare Branch-South Sulawesi. This study involves the company's financial statements as research objects obtained through documentation techniques. The observation period in this study takes five periods, namely 2017 to 2021. These findings inform that the analysis of ROA and ROE ratios does not provide guarantees for increasing company productivity. However, through this analysis, the level of efficiency in the use of company resources can be directly identified. On the other hand, through this efficiency encourages increased company productivity. Following up on the findings of this study, an assessment of company productivity must be carried out on an ongoing basis through the analysis referred to in this study combined with other assessment models.

Authors: Gussenov Iskander Sh. , Shakhvorostov Alexey V. , Mukhametgazy Nurbatyr , Kudaibergenov Sarkyt E.
Published: January 2023

Background: Due to its high efficiency, polymer flooding has been widely used in the fields of Kazakhstan. However, under conditions of high water salinity, high concentrations of polymers are needed to ensure the design viscosity of the solutions, therefore, polymers are needed that, at concentrations not exceeding 0.10.2%, will increase the viscosity of water up to 2050 cP when the formation water salinity is above 200 g/ l.
Aim: The purpose of this work is to study the salt- and heat-resistant properties of a linear polyampholyte based on acrylamide, an anionic monomer sodium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid - and a cationic monomer (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride and substantiate its applicability in oil production.
Materials and methods: We used water with a salinity of 200300 g/l, as well as oils with viscosities of 60, 138, and 420 cP. To simulate a porous medium, bulk sand models and aerated concrete with high porosity were chosen. Hydrolyzed polyacrylamide with a molecular weight of 17 million Da and a ternary polyampholyte with a molecular weight of 2.9 million Da were used as polymers. To compare the effectiveness of these polymers under conditions of high salinity, experiments were carried out to measure the dynamic viscosity and oil displacement efficiency.
Results: It is shown that the injection of a 0.25% solution of triple polyampholyte dissolved in water with a salinity of 200 g/l into sand models increases the oil displacement efficiency by 2328% compared to the injection of formation water. Under identical conditions, the injection of a hydrolyzed polyacrylamide solution resulted in an increase in the oil displacement efficiency by only 18%.
Conclusion: Triple polyampholyte based on acrylamide derivatives has superior oil displacement properties compared to hydrolyzed polyacrylamide in high salinity reservoirs. The results of laboratory experiments can draw the attention of oil and gas industry specialists and subsoil users to new developments by the staff of the Institute of Polymer Materials and Technologies in terms of scaling up synthetic polyampholytes and conducting pilot tests.

Published: January 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a potent nosocomial pathogen of immunocompromised individuals, causing several infections while also resisting chemotherapy with conventional antimicrobial agents. Hence, this study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of P. aeruginosa associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs) in Wukari, Taraba State. Thirty (30) voided midstream urine were collected from clinically diagnosed UTI patients attending Wukari general hospital and cultured aerobically on MacConkey agar and cysteine-lactose-electrolyte-deficient (CLED) agar. Bacterial isolates were identified by Gram staining and conventional biochemical tests. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was done using the modified Kirby-Bauer method of the disc diffusion test. A total of 46 uropathogens were isolated of which 8 (17.39%) were identified as P. aeruginosa. Of these 8 isolates, 6 (75%) were isolated from male patients while 2 (25%) were isolated from female patients. All isolates of P. aeruginosa were susceptible to imipenem, ofloxacin, gentamicin, and levofloxacin. The resistances included resistance to amoxicillin-clavulanate (100%), cefepime (87.5%), cefotaxime (87.5%), ampiclox (75%), ceftriaxone (62.5%), cefuroxime (62.5%), and nalidixic acid (37.5%). High resistance rates against penicillins and cephalosporins are an indication of intrinsic resistance in P. aeruginosa. Hence, chemotherapy with imipenem, ofloxacin, gentamicin, and levofloxacin should be regularly monitored to prevent the development of resistant strains.

Authors: Kumar Paidigummal Uday , Pavithra Pittala , Sowmya Sheri , Deepika Patnam , Priya Pittu Vishnu
Published: January 2023

Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is a viral disease and mainly infects infants and young children below five years of age. It’s caused by Enterovirus, most commonly the Coxsackie virus. The viruses that cause HFMD spread through close personal contact, through the air from coughing and the faeces of an infected person. This viral infection is not indigenous to one area in particular but occurs worldwide. The symptoms mainly include fever, sore throat, feeling sick, painful, blister-like lesions on the tongue, gums and inside of the cheeks, a rash on the palms, soles and sometimes the buttocks. Molecular testing is done based on the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Cases of HFMD are on the rise and clinicians need to know how to make the diagnosis. The majority of patients with coxsackievirus- induced hand, foot, and mouth disease are treated usually as outpatients, but those who have CNS involvement may require admission for close monitoring. Most patients with HFMD fully recover within 7-21 days.
