El cultivo del banano (Musa AAA) en Ecuador ha sido un rubro importante en cuanto al desarrollo económico y social, requiriéndose en la actualidad de alternativas ecológicas para contrarrestar las pérdidas en el manejo postcosecha. Por ello, esta investigación consistió en evaluar los efectos de diferentes tratamientos (T1: tiabendazol + imazalil, T2: imazalil, T3: tiabendazol, T4: hierba Luisa (Cymbopogon citratus), T5: citronela (Cymbopogon nardus), T6: canela (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) y T7: árbol de té (Melaleuca alternifolia)), para el control de la pudrición de la corona del fruto; lográndose determinar la menor severidad de la enfermedad y el menor grado de maduración. El análisis de varianza indicó que existieron diferencias estadísticamente significantes (p<0,05) entre T7 y los demás tratamientos aplicados, presentando un control de 140,9 del área bajo la curva del progreso de la enfermedad y la menor escala de maduración (1: coloración verde). De esta manera, el aceite esencial de árbol de té (T7) fue identificado como el mejor tratamiento, considerándose como una alternativa ecológica para el control de la pudrición de la corona del fruto de banano, con la menor severidad y el menor grado de madurez.

En las zonas agrícolas aledañas al río Carrizal (Ecuador) se cultivan diversas especies vegetales, aplicándose indiscriminadamente plaguicidas, que producen una contaminación inminente del agua. Se planteó como objetivo determinar la concentración de plaguicidas organofosforados en el río Carrizal. La detección y cuantificación de nueve plaguicidas se realizó mediante extracción en fase sólida y cromatografía de gases. Se tomaron 15 muestras de aguas superficiales en cinco puntos de áreas agrícolas en tres meses. Para indagar sobre el conocimiento y la amenaza tecnológica por el uso de plaguicidas, se aplicó una entrevista a pobladores del área. Los análisis determinaron la presencia de los plaguicidas phorate y famphur, según la localidad y mes de muestreo, pero no sobrepasaron los límites máximos permisibles de la normativa ambiental de Ecuador para agua destinada a consumo humano y uso doméstico (0,1 µg/ml); en phorate se evidenciaron límites de cuantificación y detección de 0,004 y 0,001 µg/ml, mientras que en famphur de 0,011 y 0,004 µg/ml, respectivamente. La entrevista demostró escaso conocimiento sobre la amenaza que representa el uso de estos compuestos en actividades agropecuarias, lo que amerita continuar investigaciones de esta naturaleza, tanto en el contexto ambiental como socio-cultural.

Methods To this end, the research trend of the social equality movement was followed and the characteristics of the social equality movement were categorized into two categories. The main research flow is the case of emphasizing the nature of the national liberation movement and focusing on the nation, and the other trend is the case of focusing on the movement to overcome discrimination in the social equality movement and treating civic values as important. The descriptions of the history curriculum (7th, 2009 revision, 2015 revision) and textbooks (2015 revision high school Korean history) were analyzed based on national values and civic values. Results As a result of the review in this study, first, in the history curriculum (7th Korean Modern and Contemporary History, 2009, 2015 Revised Korean History), the social equality movement emphasized the characteristics of the national liberation movement, giving priority to national values. However, there was a change that gradually approached the social equality movement in terms of social movement in terms of unit organization and achievement technology. Next, in the history textbook (2015 High School Korean History), the view of the national liberation movement centered on the confrontation between the social equality movement and the Japanese Empire was dominant, but a narrative focused on civic values by approaching the social equality movement as a social movement appeared. Conclusions By reconsidering the historical value of the social equality movement, the educational significance of the social equality movement as a citizenship education is improved.

Changes in the Legal Status of a Woman-Mother in the Soviet Law After the Bolshevik Revolution and in the Stalin’s Era (1917–1953)
Authors: Osipova Sanita , Kontere Anna
Published: November 2022

The Bolshevists’ coming into power in Russia in 1917 changed the life of every woman significantly, since a new social status was immediately created. It was also defined in law, i.e., the Soviet woman. In the framework of this research, a detailed analysis is provided of one of the social statuses of a Soviet woman – a mother. The status of the mother is especially important, since every change in the social role of the mother in the upbringing of the child changes the entire society. The reforms of Stalin’s era turned the mother into a public person in the Soviet state, fulfilling a mission important for the state in improving the demographic situation. At the same time, her rights to choose how to raise a child, how much time to devote to a child, what values to instil were continuously decreased. Mothers who did not conform to the ideology could be deprived of their mother’s rights, subjected to repression and separation from their children.
Awareness of Violence as a Prerequisite for Prevention of Domestic Violence
Authors: Kaugia Silvia
Published: November 2022

Domestic violence is widespread in Estonia, – every second violent crime committed in Estonia is a domestic violence crime. Domestic violence offences include offences against the person (except offences against the deceased), robbery and aggravated breach of public order under the Penal Code, violence committed between current or former spouses, cohabiting partners, partners, and it may also include violence between relatives or siblings, irrespective of whether the perpetrator lives or has formerly lived in the same dwelling with the victim. Domestic violence is a human rights problem that undermines people’s right to liberty, security, dignity, mental and physical integrity and non-discrimination. It causes great suffering to the victim and his or her loved ones, and harm to society (medical costs, loss of working capacity, deterioration in people’s quality of life, etc.).
According to the author, the main prerequisite for the prevention of domestic violence is the awareness of violence as violence. Recognition of violence as such would also contribute to reducing stereotypical attitudes and victim-blaming in society.
Liability for Unlawful Use of a Trademark
Authors: Rozenfelds Jānis
Published: November 2022

The aim of this report is to provide a brief overview of litigation over trademark violations from 2014 until 2019. This period is significant for at least two reasons: first, the beginning of this period coincides with a decade since the accession of several East European countries, including Latvia, to the European Union; second, the end of this period coincides with the end of application of the Law On Trademarks and Indications of Geographical Origin of 1999, which was replaced by a new law enacted on 6 March 2020. The procedure for the opposition process as part of trademark registration was reformed as the Law on Industrial Property Institutions and Procedures came into force on 1 January 2016. Although reform of trademark registration and the opposition procedure did not have a direct impact on trademark rights already in place, it could be anticipated that protection of trademark rights as established since 2016 would be more robust and the peculiarities of the previous period would be extinguished. As litigation over the registration and opposition procedure lags behind the filing of applications for registration of trademarks, no cases have been heard over applications filed under the new system, i.e., after 1 January 2016.
Virtual Corporate Seat: The Lithuanian Perspective
Authors: Mikalonienė Lina
Published: November 2022

The article focuses on current developments in substantive company law by exploring an innovative concept of the virtual corporate seat which could be introduced as an alternative to the physical corporate seat, in its traditional understating, through the Lithuanian legislative initiative. Following the analysis on how the proposed concept of the virtual corporate seat is aligned with the concept of the real seat of a domestic company under substantive company law, the article argues that the proposed virtual seat of a company incorporated under national law has to be approached under the formalistic understanding of the corporate seat instead. It concludes that the concept of the virtual corporate seat should be essentially based on the concept of the registered office. The article supports the progressive idea on the virtual corporate seat and addresses the major drawbacks of the proposed legislative initiative on virtual corporate seat to improve it.

Published: November 2022

The important role of corporate governance is to align the interests of all stakeholders of a company. This role requires effort from the management towards applying sustainable business practises like green supply chain management (GSCM). This study explores the applications of the GSCM in the 5-star hotel restaurants and quick service restaurants (QSRs) in Jordan. Questionnaires and interviews assessed several practises that reflect the GSCM and discover the drivers and barriers of the application. Results revealed that QSRs have a less environmental impact than hotel restaurants. However, QSRs lacked the application of the GSCM concept. Hotels have higher GSCM standards, but higher negative environmental impact. The research recommends a better administration of GSCM standards in order to realize good corporate governance.
Technological Expectations and the Making of Europe
Authors: Hälterlein Jens
Published: November 2022

In a case study approach, the paper traces how technological expectations have been influential in the creation of European institutions, R&D programmes and regulatory instruments and how they have contributed to processes of European integration. The first case study shows how the promises of a coming ‘Atomic Age’ have been mobilized to support the foundation of the European Atomic Energy Community and, thus, contributed to European integration in the post-WW2 era. The second case study analyses how the security stream within the EU’s framework programmes for R&D is shaped by the promise of ‘technosecurity’ and enacts the normative claim of the EU’s security integration in the post-Cold War era. The third case study analyses how the EU’s AI strategy and AI act articulates the vision of a ‘human-centric AI’ and how this vision is related to the EU’s current attempt to restore citizens’ trust in times of crisis.

Published: November 2022

Introduction: Central sensitization (CS) is a neurological sensitivity phenomenon that causes patients to perceive more pain and broader discomfort. However, the bio psychosocial factors associated with the phenomenon of perception continue to explore and further the current knowledge on CS in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. The main purpose of this study was to determine the extent of associative relationship between central nervous system sensitization and bio psychosocial measures in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain. Settings and Design: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital’s outpatient unit. Methods and Materials: Two hundred patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain were included in the present cross-sectional study. They completed questionnaires such as Central sensitisation inventory (CSI), Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Pain Catastrophizing index (PCI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity Score (SS), Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10 SCORE) and Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Results: The bio psychosocial factors showed mild to moderate correlation with CSI score ,FSS (r=0.432); TSK (r=0.432); K10 score (r=0.450);PCI score (r=0.465); Total (WPI+SS) score (r=0.467) and ISI score(r=0.249).These bio psychosocial factors in a statistically significant hierarchical regression model showed 37.9 % variance on CSI score (F- 31.39;P< 0.001) where kinesiophobia and Insomnia did not satisfy the model fit. Conclusion: Even the CS showed a significant association with bio psychosocial factors, it kept kinesiophobia and Insomnia out in its variance contribution.

Published: November 2022

The telecommunications market is well developed but is characterized by oversaturation and high levels of competition. Based on this, the urgent problem is to retain customers and predict the outflow of customer base by switching subscribers to the services of competitors. Data Science technologies and data mining methodology create significant opportunities for companies that implement data analysis and modeling for development of customer churn prediction models. The research goals are to compare different approaches and methods for customer churn prediction and construct different Data Science models to classify customers according to the probability of their churn from the company’s client base and predict potential customers who could stop to use the company’s services. On the example of one of the leading Ukrainian telecommunication companies, the article presents the results of different classification models, such as C5.0, KNN, Neural Net, Ensemble, Random Tree, Neural Net Ensemble, etc. All models are prepared in IBM SPSS Modeler and have a high level of quality (the overall accuracy and AUC ROC are more than 90%). So, the research proves the possibility and feasibility of using models in the further classification of customers to predict customer loyalty to the company and minimize consumer’s churn. The key factors influencing the customer churn are identified and form a basis for future prediction of customer outflow and optimization of company’s services. Implementation of customer churn prediction models will help to maintain customer loyalty, reduce customer outflow and increase business results
Smartphone-Based Recognition of Access Trip Phase to Public Transport Stops Via Machine Learning Models
Authors: Hosseini Seyed Hassan , Gentile Guido
Published: November 2022

The usage of mobile phones is nowadays reaching full penetration rate in most countries. Smartphones are a valuable source for urban planners to understand and investigate passengers’ behavior and recognize travel patterns more precisely. Different investigations tried to automatically extract transit mode from sensors embedded in the phones such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyroscope. This allows to reduce the resources used in travel diary surveys, which are time-consuming and costly. However, figuring out which mode of transportation individuals use is still challenging. The main limitations include GPS, and mobile sensor data collection, and data labeling errors. First, this paper aims at solving a transport mode classification problem including (still, walking, car, bus, and metro) and then as a first investigation, presents a new algorithm to compute waiting time and access time to public transport stops based on a random forest model. Several public transport trips with different users were saved in Rome to test our access trip phase recognition algorithm. We also used Convolutional Neural Network as a deep learning algorithm to automatically extract features from one sensor (linear accelerometer), obtaining a model that performs well in predicting five modes of transport with the highest accuracy of 0.81%.

Published: November 2022

In the last decade, a plethora of healthcare research and literature was produced and, indeed, confirms the absolute need to cultivate a therapeutic and compassionate relationship between carer and patient/family, especially in the face of a long-term and /or life-threatening condition. We introduce the 3S model as an approach to cultivate a therapeutic relationship between the carer and the patient/family. It is based on some fundamental traditional skills which may be innate for some but may need to be awakened and cultivated for others, all for the benefit of each of the members of the involved triad: patients, family, and healthcare professionals.

The 3S approach aids in developing a therapeutic relationship that involves compassion and can be easily applied with significant results, especially in the context of chronic disease management. However, more research is needed to quantify the impact of this 3S approach on the therapeutic relationship and chronic disease management.

The need to use a natural alternative for disinfecting dental impression materials, which should be biocompatible and effective, led us to evaluate the efficacy of Aloe vera as a disinfectant by immersion and spray method on alginate impression material and its effect on the dimensional stability of the resultant gypsum cast.

The efficacy of the disinfection procedures against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans was evaluated by determining the number of colony-forming units (CFU) recovered after disinfection of alginate discs inoculated with 1x106 CFU for defined intervals with aloe vera solution (99.96%). Dimensional stability was determined from the mean percentage deviation of three measurements that were taken between the fixed points on the casts using a traveling microscope and compared with corresponding measurements from the master model and controls. Statistical analysis of data was determined by analysis of variance.

We found out that there is a mean percentage reduction in colony count of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and C. albicans after 3 minutes of immersion in aloe vera and after 3 minutes spray disinfection. Complete elimination of all the microorganism cells after 7 min immersion and spray disinfection. There was a statistically significant difference in the increase of the mean anteroposterior (AP) and cross arch (CA) dimension after 3 and 7 minutes immersion in aloe vera.

Spraying with aloe vera for 7 minutes was proved to be the most effective disinfection procedure without altering dimensional stability.

A healthy lifestyle prevents more than half of diseases and disorders in humans. Social capital is a decisive factor in lifestyle modification. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of social capital on health promotion behaviors in a group of teachers from Bam, Kerman, Iran.

The present study was a descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study. The participants were 245 secondary school teachers that were studied using census data. The integration of two standard questionnaires in the field of health promotion behaviors and social capital were the research instruments. Data analysis was done using the SPSS v23 software.

The average age of the participants was 39.4 years. Also, none of the demographic variables had a significant effect on health promotion behaviors. The highest and lowest score of practices were related to religion believes with an average of 14.47 and physical activities with an average of 10.64. Finally, the average of health promotion behaviors and social capital in women teachers were evaluated at the desirable level.

Considering the role of teachers in educating and providing knowledge to future generations, it can positively affect the health of the whole society through effective interventions on this group. This requires paying more attention to the empowerment and promote the individual and groups of teachers. Therefore, one of the natural and inexpensive ways to improve society’s health is to promote health components in teachers and their self-sufficiency in the field of health.

The injury management in the acute phase of spinal cord injury starts at the accident scene and focuses on preventing and reducing secondary damages. The road traffic injured patients are mostly transferred by relatives, untrained laypeople, and the drivers of heavy vehicles. The current study explored the experience of people with spinal cord injury in the accident scene.

This was a qualitative content analysis study using the semi-structured interviewing method with an interview guide for data collection. Purposive sampling method was performed within ten months until data saturation. We used the constant comparative approach recommended by Corbin and Strauss (2015). In total, 15 people with spinal cord injury and bystanders participated in this study.

The central theme extracted in this study was “emotional interaction” that referred to the emotional reactions in managing road traffic victims. Two main categories of “emotional intervention” with “emotional atmosphere,” “desperation,” “rescue efforts,” subcategories and “scene shock” with “unplanned intervention,” “emotional behavior,” “emotional decisions,” and “emotional involvement,” subcategories were classified.

The emotional atmosphere of the scene and stress level of the victim and the relatives, and the insistence of the victim to escape from the harsh condition have caused those lacking medical knowledge and expertise to transfer the patient unsafely. This resulted in secondary damages, like aggravated spinal cord injury or even caused the spinal cord injury.

Patients with positive Her-2/neu breast cancer and a high risk of recurrence are known to benefit from the addition of the dual blockade of Her-2/neu with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy, a combination which has been demonstrated to give a higher rate of a complete pathologic response in the breast and in the axilla.

The purpose of this review is to outline the efficacy of the dual blockade with Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab in the neoadjuvant treatment of high-risk Her-2 positive breast cancer.

Electronic databases (Pubmed, Medline, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) were searched for English- and German-language studies, which were published in the last ten years. The search has been focused on neoadjuvant clinical trials as well as on the data presented in the abstracts published at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium as well as at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

The results reported in the published clinical trials demonstrated a higher pathologic complete response rate in breast and lymph nodes after using targeted therapy with two anti-Her-2/neu agents - Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage Her-2/neu positive breast cancers. The pathologic complete response rate is the most important prognostic marker in Her-2/neu positive tumors, a higher pathologic complete response rate being demonstrated to be associated with a better survival outcome in terms of higher overall survival and disease-free survival rates.

This case report highlights a case of large ischemic stroke and indication for anticoagulant therapy treated with thrombolysis and pharmacological intervention for neurological recovery with a multimodal agent (Cerebrolysin) as add-on therapy to recanalization techniques, including IV thrombolysis. We observed a significant clinical improvement after one year of follow-up. Based on our experience, we can assert that Cerebrolysin can be safely administered in stroke patients, even in complicated cases, with a good chance for improvement of their clinical status.
