Machine learning based efficient routing protocol in wireless sensor network
Authors: Madkar Shankar , Pardeshi Sanjay , Kumbhar Mahesh Shivaji
Published: February 2023

Data loss and recovery are important factors that directly affect the efficiency of the wireless sensor network (WSN). The wireless channel characteristics have a significant impact on data transmission and reception. On the receiver side, the most difficult tasks are maximizing packet delivery ratio and recovering lost data. In some cases, cyclic redundancy check (CRC) based algorithms can provide better data recovery. The CRC method can be made adaptive by using channel characteristics to correct the error bits. This paper evaluates the performance of the proposed machine learning-based efficient routing protocol (ML-ERP). For data recovery, the CRC with channel impulse response (CIR) prediction based on sensor node location information was used.  The data recovery capability of ML-ERP increased the network efficiency in terms of packet delivery ratio. Also, due to less data loss, the energy efficiency of the network was also improved by almost 6 % over existing protocols

Published: February 2023

This qualitative research examined the effects of transitioning on sexual experiences in Trans men. Six participants aged 19 to 45 years took part in a semi-structured interview about their transition, and mental and sexual well-being, pre-and post-transition. A thematic analysis identified three main narratives: conflicted sexual well-being pre-transition self, see no Trans* hear no Trans*, and developing sexual self-efficacy post-transition. Participants discussed how the sexual education curriculum lacks LGBTQIA+ inclusivity, which resulted in compromised mental and sexual well-being. Participants used social media almost exclusively as a source of knowledge on inclusive sex education and Tran’s male identity and representation. Once participants were able to express themselves appropriately and had transitioned, mental well-being and sexual self-efficacy improved. Future qualitative research might look at the effects of social media on sexual self-efficacy, and a longitudinal quantitative study could target measuring levels of sexual self-efficacy pre- and post-transition.

Authors: Tušek Boris , Ivana Barišić
Published: February 2023

Lately, the role of internal audit is viewed with great importance in the context of the supervisory mechanisms of corporate governance, which is a direct result of requests for more effective corporate governance and the need for control. Corporate governance foundation may be considered through the four cornerstones: Audit Committee, Executive Management, Internal Auditors and External Auditors. Internal audit contributes to corporate governance effectiveness through relations and communication with other cornerstones. It is believed that by providing assurance on the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes, internal audit is becoming a "key cornerstone" underlying the effective management. This paper analyzes how internal audit contributes to strengthening the governance processes through its relation with the primary beneficiaries, managers and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee, focused on oversight of financial reporting, controls and risk management, relies on internal audit to assist in carrying out its responsibilities. Also, internal audit provides advice to managers at all levels and information related to the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management processes as well as other important services. It may be concluded that internal audit activities, through its impact on other participants in governance, affect the quality of corporate governance. Internal audit is an important factor in achieving effective governance and is considered as an "integral part of corporate governance mosaic".

Authors: Madziba Evelyn
Published: February 2023

This paper investigated the efficacy of street vending as a means for achieving economic sustenance by those engaged in the business with special interest to those operating in the central business district of Harare. A sample of 225 street vendors was decided on and questionnaires were used to gather data. The questionnaires had a response rate of 89.7%. The paper also adopted the descriptive research design. The study found that most of the street vendors understudy are earning less than $2 per day which is very low. Moreover, the majority cannot afford decent homes and are renting or still living with their parents and relatives. The study also found that street vending could be a means for achieving economic sustenance by those engaged in the business if proper support structures are put in place by the government.

This study focused on the relationship between the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents and their experiences of bullying victimization. It predicted that multicultural adolescents who experience high levels of cultural adaptation stress are likely to become victims of bullying, and assumed that the relationship is mediated by social withdrawal. Therefore, this study used the data of the Multicultural Adolescents Panel Study (MAPS) conducted by the Korea Institute of Youth Policy. First of all, the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents had a positive effect on the experience of bullying victimization. Second, social withdrawal was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between the acculturative stress of multicultural adolescents and the experience of bullying victimization. Based on the results of the analysis, this study recommends ways to reduce the acculturative stress among multicultural adolescents. Examples include art therapy for multicultural adolescents and Korean language education programs to improve their language skills. In addition, anti-discrimination education for adolescents from non-multicultural families will be necessary.

Los estudiantes universitarios están expuestos a presentar diferentes cambios en su etapa educativa donde las obligaciones, responsabilidades y exigencias son mayores, lo que afecta la calidad de sueño o por lo contrario se genera una procrastinación dejando de lado las actividades académicas. El objetivo del estudio consistió en determinar la relación entre la calidad de sueño y procrastinación académica en estudiantes universitarios. A través, de un enfoque cuantitativo, alcance correlacional, de diseño no experimental y de corte transversal. La muestra fue de 141 estudiantes universitarios (36 hombres y 105 mujeres), con media de edad de 21.3 seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico, a quienes se aplicó el Índice de calidad de sueño de Pittsburgh (PSQI) y la Escala de Procrastinación Académica (EPA). En los resultados se encontró que los estudiantes presentan mala calidad de sueño; respecto a los niveles de procrastinación académica se identificó un nivel alto tanto en la autorregulación académica y postergación de actividades. Se determinó que la calidad de sueño y la dimensión postergación de actividades se relacionan estadísticamente significativa (Rho=0.167, p<0.05) el cual indica que a peor calidad de sueño mayor es la postergación de actividades.
LA VERITE, TOUTE LA VERITE OU SAUVER LA FACE DU PATIENT EN CONSULTATION

Published: February 2023

Dans un moment de nostalgie, nous avons revisionner des épisodes de la série Dr House (2004-2012). Première constatation, ce diagnosticien arrogant nous permet de mesurer comment ce qui était acceptable comme comportement a évolué. Il y a une phrase qui revient régulièrement chez House : « Tout le monde ment. » Ce qui justifie à ses yeux des comportements odieux pour découvrir la vérité. Ce qui est troublant c’est que cette affirmation a une grande part de vérité, car qui dit toute la vérité tout le temps ? Il y a plusieurs raisons de mentir : par exemple, vouloir se présenter comme un bon patient, se présenter sous un meilleur jour, atténuer des comportements indésirables, etc. Donc parfois le mensonge ou les demi-vérités cherchent à protéger l’image de soi1. Le danger est alors grand qu’à un moment donné le patient perde la face, car sa duplicité pourrait être révélée. Il est alors important que le professionnel aide le patient à sauver la face2. Cela permet généralement de développer une complicité et de renforcer la confiance entre les deux parties.
Concepciones de evaluación de la calidad en educación y sus fundamentos en modalidad a distancia

La evaluación de la calidad en educación superior se ha convertido en una de sus metas por cumplir, lo cual no excluye a las universidades a distancia. Por ello, el objetivo es analizar el concepto de evaluación de la calidad y sus fundamentos, para relacionarlos con la planificación y gestión de la educación a distancia. Se revisó literatura integrativa para sintetizar la información de forma descriptiva con base en la prosa encontrada en los documentos consultados. Se analizaron, a profundidad, 30 textos que permitieron agrupar tres ideas sobre evaluación de la calidad educativa en educación a distancia. Se concluye que el concepto de calidad se ha adaptado con el tiempo, respondiendo a un momento histórico, político, económico y social; además, es dinámico y dependiente de situaciones más allá de las educativas. Se aprecia que las agencias acreditadoras analizadas prestan menor atención a docencia y alumnado. Esto pone en duda las características empleadas por dichas agencias para determinar la calidad en la educación. La comunicación e interacción entre la institución, las personas docentes y estudiantado es su principal característica y deben analizarse otras. Se recomienda analizar la reglamentación institucional y procesos de acreditación para mejorar el proceso hacia áreas menos atendidas.
Interacción con el entorno Moodle y formación digital en docentes de un Instituto Politécnico en la República Dominicana
Authors: Pérez Castillo Nieves , Navarro Rubén Edel
Published: February 2023

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar las ventajas interactivas del entorno moodle para la formación digital del cuerpo docente de la modalidad técnica de un Instituto Politécnico ubicado en Santiago de los Caballeros de la República Dominicana, a través del desarrollo de un ambiente de aprendizaje virtual en la plataforma Moodle. La metodología consistió en un estudio de casos, con base en el paradigma cualitativo fundamentado en el constructivismo social de la Educación.  Los participantes fueron 10 docentes de la citada institución quienes participaron en las tres fases del proyecto: 1) Participación en el grupo de discusión, 2) Implementación del curso diseñado en la plataforma virtual Moodle y 3) Evaluación de las características del ambiente virtual. Se emplearon como técnicas de recolección de información la entrevista a través de preguntas problematizadoras introducidas en el grupo focal y una rúbrica de evaluación aplicada posterior al programa. Los resultados indican que la principal necesidad detectada es la capacitación de los docentes en el uso de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC) para educación y específicamente, para la aplicación de ambientes educativos virtuales. Por otro lado, el diseño instruccional mediado por la interacción con la plataforma Moodle fue valorado positivamente por los docentes, destacando su efectividad y pertinencia para el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje.
Mecanismos moleculares diferenciales en la carcinogénesis del carcinoma colorrectal

Published: February 2023

La mayoría de los carcinomas colorrectales (CRCs - colorectal cancer) se originan de lesiones pre-neoplásicas desde una hiperplasia y/o adenoma que inicialmente son benignos, pero muchos de ellos progresan a carcinoma. Esta transformación, de un adenoma progresar a carcinoma, implica la acumulación de múltiples alteraciones genéticas en diferentes vías de señalización. Dos modelos complementarios en el mecanismo de carcinogénesis del CRC, son revisados en este trabajo, uno de ellos llamado vía “canónica o supresora” la cual involucra inestabilidad cromosomal (Chromosome Instability-CIN) y la vía “mutadora” que involucra la inestabilidad de microsatélites (MSI) (Microsatellite Instability). Esta creciente precisión descriptiva de las cascadas de señalización molecular oncogénica en CRC, apoya expectativas de desarrollos terapéuticos selectivos, dirigidos contra dianas moleculares claramente definidas.
