Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy affecting females in Nigeria. It was observed that female healthcare professionals have relatively poor screening practices of breast cancer. This study aims to investigate factors associated with breast cancer screening practices among female healthcare professionals in Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Ogun State. The study was a cross sectional study design, with the population of interest of female healthcare professionals in the Institution as 345. The sample size was calculated using Yamane formula giving a total of 204. The respondents received the self-administered structured questionnaire and 200 were retrieved with a response rate of 98.5%. The data were analyzed statistically using IBM SPSS version 25 and descriptive methods. The level of significance was set at P<0.05. According to the conclusions of this study, 100% of the respondents were aware of BSE. 92.5% and 89.5% of respondents had a positive attitude and perception of breast cancer screening, respectively. Findings from this study demonstrated that majority of the respondents had adequate knowledge of BSE, however, the level of utilization of screening techniques was low. Most of the female healthcare professionals need additional and frequent trainings, that would cause perennial screening for breast cancer. These should be considered while developing interventions, which will lead to increased use of screening services and, ultimately, a drop in the morbidity and mortality rate of breast cancer. Keywords: Breast cancer screening, female healthcare professionals, knowledge of breast cancer screening practices, clinical examination of the breast, breast ulceration.

Postpartum depression is a mood disorder that occurs in some women after childbirth. It is one of the most frequent postpartum complications which usually appears 4-6 weeks after delivery and can persist for up to a year. Consequently, this study looked into the predictors of postpartum depression among nursing mothers in Calabar South Cross River State. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 254 mothers in Calabar South Local Government Area of Cross River State, Nigeria, attending seven primary health centers for infant immunization from four weeks to eleven months postpartum. A standardized questionnaire administered by an interviewer was used to gather the data. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 23.0 to generate descriptive and inferential statistics at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The mean score for knowledge was 5.93 ± 2.86. More than half (52.0%) of the respondents had a negative attitude toward postpartum depression, (52.4%) of the respondents had a high perception, and (53.1%) of respondents had high self-esteem. More than half (56.1%) of the respondents had low media influence, (53.1%) of the respondents had social support, and (65.4%) of the respondents had low enabling factors. There was a significant relationship (p= 0.000) between each respondent’s independent variables and level of postpartum depression except for enabling factors. Social support was a predictor of postpartum depression among this study population. It is suggested that family members should be made more aware of the need for supporting nursing mothers so as to improve their mental health by reducing postpartum depression.

Authors: Han Sufang , Wang Shenghan
Published: February 2024

When the organizational climate refers to the group atmosphere, it directly influences and dominates the subjective psychological factors shaped by the subjective environment of the organization's target. The excellent organizational climate also determines the effect of the group. Taking the climate of Party organizations as the starting point and students of Yunnan Minzu University as the research carrier, this paper introduces the "climate" of party organizations into its influence on ideology, politics and behavior patterns, reflecting the analogical discussion of the entity form of "climate" in the aspects of party organization system construction, psychological compatibility degree and mode of action. The Apriori correlation algorithm is used to match attitude, thought, spirit and behavior, which are persistent and interact with each other, with climate, and which party organization climate factors have a deep impact on college students' ideological, political and behavioral patterns? In particular, the influence and degree of the party organization climate on the transformation of students' employment concept are also investigated and quantitatively analyzed, and the countermeasures of the influence of the Party organization climate on the ideological, political and behavioral patterns of college students are found.

This study employs hypothesis testing to investigate the relationship between human resource development (HRD) variables—Training and Development, Organization Development, Career Development, and Performance Management—and Employees Commitment in the context of Nepalese organizations. Utilizing a five-point Likert scale, data were gathered through a questionnaire from 189 respondents, representing diverse profiles. Statistical analyses using SPSS involved formulating four alternative hypotheses for each independent variable and setting significance levels at 0.05. Results indicate that Training and Development (p = 0.001), Career Development (p = 0.008), and Performance Management (p = 0.003) are significant, while Organization Development (p = 0.679) is not. Hypothesis testing outcomes confirm the acceptance of H1 (Training and Development), rejection of H2 (Organization Development), acceptance of H3 (Career Development), and acceptance of H4 (Performance Management). Correlation analysis reveals positive correlations between all independent variables and employee commitment. However, inferential analysis through regression indicates that only Training and Development, Career Development, and Performance Management have a significant relationship with employee commitment. The study's contribution lies in unraveling the complexity of HRD's impact on employee commitment within the Nepalese context, emphasizing the importance of tailoring HRD strategies to the specific needs and dynamics of the workforce.

Published: February 2024

This study aims to explore the relationship between decision-making and critical thinking, with a focus on identifying techniques and tools that can improve the quality of decision-making and the critical thinking process. The study employed a descriptive research method to achieve its objectives. Critical thinking is a crucial skill in the workplace, particularly for individuals in management positions, as it enables them to make informed decisions. The ability to think critically and use decision-making processes while making vital judgments is essential for individuals who want to make successful decisions in both their personal and professional lives. The study also highlights several fundamental critical thinking abilities and salient traits shared by both critical and non-critical thinkers. Developing critical thinking abilities is a strategy that demands resolve and dedication as a sign of respect for the profession of today's and tomorrow's executives who have a significant impact on the lives of many people with their decisions. The study recommends the use of critical thinking tools such as the Socratic method, decision-making tree, changing your lens, active listening, and the decision hygiene checklist to enhance critical thinking skills. The study suggests that future research could consider projects in different sectors and countries and involve a diverse range of practitioners at various organizational levels to further enhance the impact of this research.

De músico de un virrey a sochantre en la Catedral de Lima: Cristóbal de León (fl. 1561-1608) y otros clérigos-músicos de su tiempo
Authors: Vera Aguilera Alejandro
Published: February 2024

Pese al incremento en las últimas décadas de nuestro conocimiento de la música virreinal, quedan importantes vacíos en relación con ciertos períodos y lugares. De todos ellos, Lima es quizá el más llamativo porque, pese a tratarse de una sede virreinal, sabemos relativamente poco sobre su vida musical. Este vacío, sin embargo, es aún más marcado con anterioridad a 1612, año en el que se promulgan las constituciones de la capilla de música de la Catedral de Lima. A partir de entonces existe más información, al menos en esta institución, pero para el período anterior solo tenemos datos fragmentarios. Con el objetivo d contribuir a subsanar esta carencia, el presente trabajo estudia a un músico prácticamente desconocido llamado Cristóbal de León. Por medio de fuentes de archivo, se demostrará que este sujeto desarrolló una actividad musical relevante en Lima de 1561 a 1608, que incluyó la composición de chanzonetas y otras obras; además, consiguió entrar al sacerdocio en gran medida gracias a su oficio musical, tal como hicieron otros clérigos-músicos en la época, y pudo estar relacionado con la interesante actividad musical de los monasterios de monjas limeños durante el siglo XVII.

Finalmente, los sonidos del siglo XIX mexicano ya no son tan lejanos: ¿qué implica escuchar de nuevo el Te Deum laudamus (1835) de José Antonio Gómez?
Authors: Lazos John G.
Published: February 2024

La práctica musical del siglo XIX mexicano sigue siendo un tema pendiente tanto en nuestros campos de estudios como en los escenarios. A pesar de ello, el nombre de José Antonio Gómez y Olguín empieza a resonar. El resurgimiento de este filarmónico del siglo xix se debe en gran parte al acercamiento y estudio de las fuentes de primera mano. Sin embargo, aun con una idea más clara de su vida y obra, su legado principal, sus obras, siguen ausentes en nuestros escenarios. Me interesa narrar aquí los factores que han mantenido a distancia un periodo crucial de nuestra historia musical. Por ejemplo, cómo una Ley Federal del año 1835 determinó una serie de acontecimientos que culminaron en la Catedral Metropolitana. El cabildo decidió recibir al general Antonio López de Santa-Anna con un Te Deum. Entonces, el segundo organista, José Antonio Gómez, propuso escribir una obra con solistas, coro y gran orquesta acorde al momento. Gómez se jugaba, durante los inicios del México independiente, su futuro dentro de la iglesia más importante del país y por extensión, en el ámbito secular. Casi doscientos años después, la Orquesta Sinfónica de Xalapa interpretó en septiembre de 2022, con gran éxito, su Te Deum laudamus.
De musica latine scribenda: How to approach a Latin text as a composer without summoning a demon in the process (2022)
Authors: Aliaga del Bosque Juan Carlos
Published: February 2024

While composing vocal music, it is usually required an extra “set of rules” that is generally related with the language of the text used in the music. Each language has characteristics connected with its pronunciation, prosody, meaning, etc., that are necessary in order to set the text in a way that is understandable, but also some of these “quirks” can be exploitable and shape the music in a way that is closer to the sound, rhythm or even the culture carried by the language. This first paper on the topic addresses the use of Latin language in musical composition, as many others have tackled its pronunciation in performance but there is not much written about how a composer can use the language confidence and efficiency. In this paper, the concepts of syllable length and tonic accent in Latin will be introduced and they will be explained and applied through musical examples from different historical periods.

Enhancing Creativity in Arts Students: Stanislavski Method and Physical Actions
Authors: Gao Feng
Published: February 2024

This study aims to explore the impact of the Stanislavski Method and Physical Actions on the creative performance abilities of students in art universities. The Stanislavski Method, with its core focus on deeply exploring a character's internal emotions and psychological states, emphasizes the use of emotional memory and the 'Magic If' in acting. In contrast, Physical Actions focus on stimulating emotions and thoughts through bodily movements, enhancing the performer's physical expression capabilities. Through theoretical analysis and case studies, this research reveals the role and effectiveness of these two methods in enhancing creative performance. The case studies show that the combined use of the Stanislavski Method and Physical Actions significantly improves students' emotional depth, physical expression, and character innovation abilities. However, these methods also face challenges in application, such as emotional risks, individual differences, and resource limitations. The study emphasizes that addressing these challenges requires flexible teaching strategies and attention to individual differences. Finally, the research proposes future directions for applying these methods in different cultural contexts and the possibility of integrating these traditional acting methods with emerging art forms. Overall, the Stanislavski Method and Physical Actions hold significant theoretical and practical value in cultivating the creative performance abilities of art university students.

Las políticas educativas públicas son consideradas como el conjunto de medidas que establecen los lineamentos que deben seguir las instituciones educativas para el desarrollo de un país igualitario. Dichas políticas deben buscar fortalecer los derechos ciudadanos, a través de la formación de principios y valores que los lleven a desarrollarse como integrantes de la sociedad (Monar-Matamoros, 2022). Sin embargo, pese a la existencia de dichas políticas, la realidad da muestras claras de la existencia de brechas; por ello, los diferentes gobiernos del mundo vienen sumando esfuerzos para acortarlas y buscan derroteros que les ayuden a revertir la situación mencionada, en favor de la educación de su país.
Etiske fordringer og dilemmaer i forskning med børn og familier
Authors: Kousholt Dorte , Juhl Pernille
Published: February 2024

Forskning som organiseres i tæt samarbejde med deltagerne, og som foregår i hverdagslivets kontekster, stiller forskeren over for flere etiske dilemmaer undervejs i forskningsprocessen. Overvejelser knyttet til fx informeret samtykke, dataopbevaring og -behandling og anonymiseringsspørgsmål er vigtige aspekter af forskningsetik, men adresserer kun nogle af de etiske spørgsmål, der kan opstå i forskning. Desuden er disse mere standardiserede og procedurebaserede aspekter af etik, som ofte fylder mest i opstarten af et forskningsprojekt, i mange tilfælde ikke tilstrækkelige som retningslinjer, når man som forsker skal foretage konkrete vurderinger og træffe beslutninger om etiske udfordringer på forskellige tidspunkter i forskningsprocessen. Etiske dilemmaer udspringer netop af situationer, hvor forskeren er i tvivl og bliver usikker på, hvad der er den rigtige beslutning og/eller oplever modstridende følelser eller handlemuligheder. Etiske spørgsmål opstår hele vejen gennem forskningsprocessen; fra man formulerer forskningsspørgsmålet, indleder sit empiriske arbejde, forlader feltet, og til man laver sine analyser og publicerer dem. I artiklen diskuterer vi etiske fordringer, der kan guide sådanne refleksions- og beslutningsprocesser gennem forskningsprocessen. Etiske fordringer er på én gang nogle overordnede etiske forpligtelser, man påtager sig at arbejde med i sin forskning og samtidig forankret i det konkrete forskningsprojekts metodologi, teoretiske afsæt, samt det felt og de problemstillinger, man arbejder med. I artiklen diskuterer vi, hvordan etiske fordringer kan bidrage til at reflektere og håndtere etiske dilemmaer gennem forskningsprocessen. Vi trækker på eksempler fra to forskningsprojekter om børn og forældres hverdagsliv, der på forskellige måder har involveret etiske dilemmaer i forskningssamarbejdet.

Danish citizenship: A gift you should not take for granted
Authors: Olsen Tore Vincents
Published: February 2024

For the hawks in the Danish debate on naturalization, Danish citizenship is not a human right or something that you can earn by living up to a specific set of criteria. Rather, it is something that members of parliament bestow on foreigners as a benevolent act, if the members are convinced that the foreigners are genuinely committed to Danish values and do not constitute a threat to democracy. In the hawks’ view, the members of parliament are sovereign and should be able to suspend all principles in the defense of democracy and liberal rights. Thereby the hawks repeat the dilemma of militant democracy: Does the defense of democracy turn democracy into its opposite?

Chemo- and optogenetic activation of hypothalamic Foxb1-expressing neurons and their terminal endings in the rostral-dorsolateral PAG leads to tachypnea, bradycardia, and immobility
Authors: Cola Reto B , Roccaro-Waldmeyer Diana M , Naim Samara , Babalian Alexandre , Seebeck Petra , Alvarez-Bolado Gonzalo , Celio Marco R
Published: February 2024

Foxb1 -expressing neurons occur in the dorsal premammillary nucleus (PMd) and further rostrally in the parvafox nucleus, a longitudinal cluster of neurons in the lateral hypothalamus of rodents. The descending projection of these Foxb1+ neurons end in the dorsolateral part of the periaqueductal gray (dlPAG). The functional role of the Foxb1+ neuronal subpopulation in the PMd and the parvafox nucleus remains elusive. In this study, the activity of the Foxb1+ neurons and of their terminal endings in the dlPAG in mice was selectively altered by employing chemo- and optogenetic tools. Our results show that in whole-body barometric plethysmography, hM3Dq-mediated, global Foxb1+ neuron excitation activates respiration. Time-resolved optogenetic gain-of-function manipulation of the terminal endings of Foxb1+ neurons in the rostral third of the dlPAG leads to abrupt immobility and bradycardia. Chemogenetic activation of Foxb1+ cell bodies and ChR2-mediated excitation of their axonal endings in the dlPAG led to a phenotypical presentation congruent with a ‘freezing-like’ situation during innate defensive behavior.
Resolving taphonomic and preparation biases in silicified faunas through paired acid residues and X-ray microscopy
Authors: Jacobs Gabriel S. , Jacquet Sarah Monique , Selly Tara , Schiffbauer James D. , Huntley John Warren
Published: February 2024

Paired petrography and acid maceration has shown that preferential silicification of shelly faunas can bias recovery based on taxon and body size. Here, silicified fossils from the Upper Ordovician Edinburg Formation, Strasburg Junction, Virginia, USA, were analyzed using X-ray tomographic microscopy (μCT) in conjunction with recovered residues from acid maceration of the same materials to further examine sources of potential bias. Results reveal that very small (<~1 mm) fossils are poorly resolved in μCT when scanning at lower resolutions (~30 µm), underestimating abundance of taxa including ostracods and bryozoans. Acid maceration, meanwhile, fails to recover poorly silicified fossils prone to disarticulation and/or fragmentation during digestion. Tests for patterns of breakage, however, indicate no significant size or taxonomic bias during extraction. Comparisons of individual fossils from 3-D fossil renders and maceration residues reveal patterns of fragmentation that are taxon-specific and allow the differentiation of biostratinomic and preparational breakage. Multivariate ordinations and cluster analyses of μCT and residue data in general produce concordant results but indicate that the variation in taxonomic composition of our samples is compromised by the resolvability of small size classes in μCT imaging, limiting the utility of this method for addressing paleoecological questions in these specific samples. We suggest that comparability of results will depend strongly on the sample size, taphonomic history, textural, and compositional characteristics of the samples in question, as well as μCT scan parameters. Additionally, applying these methods to different deposits will test the general applicability of the conclusions drawn on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the methods.
Sin imágenes del futuro: niños y adolescentes en el cine de Víctor Gavira
Authors: Donoso Pinto Catalina
Published: February 2024

El presente trabajo examina dos filmes del director colombiano Víctor Gaviria, que tienen como protagonistas a niños y adolescentes marginales: Rodrigo D. No Futuro y La vendedora de rosas. El análisis intenta contraponer el uso recurrente del concepto de infancia como símbolo de “futuro” y su representación en las cintas escogidas como su opuesto: ausencia de porvenir. Los filmes se inscriben en una tradición cinematográfica realista, dada su opción de compromiso social, pero integran también elementos que tensionan una lectura unívoca de dicha opción estética, dialogando así con otras tradiciones como el surrealismo o explorando posibilidades de lenguaje cinematográfico en búsqueda de un realismo propiamente latinoamericano.

Authors:   Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Aparicio Sebastian , Audretsch David ,   Indiana University, Urbano David ,   Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
Published: February 2024

Institutions have acted as rules of the game influencing entrepreneurship. However, little is known about their complementary function as knowledge generators. Drawing on institutional economics, this paper explores the role of regional governments and universities in creating public support and knowledge conducive to entrepreneurship in Spain. Unbalanced panel data models are applied to 281 observations taken from GEM; Ministry of Economics, Industry, and Competitiveness; and INE in the 2004-2018 period. Findings suggest that formal institutions as R&D expenditure and staff in the public sector and universities positively predict entrepreneurship. In light of these results, theory and policies are discussed.

Computers and the Internet have changed people’s lifestyles, and the number of Internet users increases with the progress of Internet technology. This study focused on Facebook, which is the most representative social media on the Internet, and discussed fan page posts, including their contents, ways of message presentation, and message forwarding intentions. What are the essential elements that arouse people’s interest?This study conducted a questionnaire survey among 365 Facebook users and used regression analysis and two-way ANOVA to examine the related hypotheses. The findings are as follows: (1) Message usefulness had a positive correlation with message forwarding intention on Facebook. (2) Message playfulness had a positive correlation with message forwarding intention. (3) With high message practicality and interest, text added to audio and video had a more significant impact on the willingness to reproduce the message than other presentation methods.

A field experiment to test the optimization of chemical fertilizer use through Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) approach and its effect on growth and yield of Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) was carried out at Rampur agricultural field of Doon (P.G) College of Agriculture Science and Technology, Selaqui, Dehradun, Uttarakhand during the rabi season 2021-2022. The experiment comprised of nine treatments of organic and inorganic nutrient combination, viz T1- Control (No Fertilizer), T2- Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) (80:60:40 kg/ha), T3- 100 % vermicompost (6.0 t/ha), T4- 75% Farm Yard Manure (FYM) (15.0 t/ha) + 25% RDF (20:15:10 kg/ha), T5- 50% RDF (40:30:20 kg/ha) + FYM (5.0 t/ha) + green manure (2.5 t/ha) + gypsum (10.0 kg/ha), T6-50% RDF (40:30:20 kg/ha) + vermicompost (3.0 t/ha)+ gypsum (5.0 kg/ha), T7- 75% RDF (60:45:30 kg/ha) + vermicompost (2.5 t/ha), T8- 75% RDF (60:45:30 kg/ha) + vermicompost (1.5 t/ha) + green manure (1.5 t/ha), T9- 75% RDF (60:45:30 kg/ha) + FYM (1.5 t/ha) + vermicompost (1.0 t/ha) + green manure (1 t/ha) + gypsum (10.0 kg/ha), laid out in randomized block design with three replication. The results of experiment revealed that there was increase in plant growth parameters in the treatment T9, followed by treatment T8 and T5, respectively. Moreover, the maximum seed yield (2240.39 kg/ha) was observed under T9 over control, where no fertilizer application was applied. The present investigation established the fact that integrated use both organic and inorganic fertilizer can be recommended to the farmers as one of the key strategies for enhancing crop response in terms of growth and yield of mustard.

A field experiment was carried out with 42 genotypes of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) at the Niger Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Vanarasi, Ta. Vansda. The study was performed to evaluate the genetic variability, characters association, path analysis and genetic diversity based on yield and yield related traits. The highest genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for seed yield per plant followed by capsules per cluster and harvest index. High estimates of heritability coupled with high genetic advance expressed as percentage of mean were observed for the traits viz., capsule width, capsules per cluster, leaf area, harvest index and seed yield per plant indicating that these characters are under the control of additive gene effect. The seed yield per plant was found to be significant and positively correlated with days to maturity, capsule length, capsule width, capsules per cluster, 1000 seed weight and harvest index at genotypic and phenotypic levels. The maximum direct effects as well as appreciable indirect influences were exerted by harvest index, capsule width, capsule length and 1000 seed weight. D2 analysis indicated wider genetic diversity among the forty-two genotypes which were grouped in ten clusters indicating there is no formed relationship between geographical diversity and genetic diversity. Cluster III and X showed the maximum inter cluster distance of 16.51. Hence, the genotypes belonging to the X, IX and VIII cluster could be used in hybridization program for obtaining a wide spectrum of variability among the segregants. Among different eleven traits studied, leaf area followed by capsules per cluster, harvest index, capsule width, seed yield per plant and capsule length contributed maximum towards the total genetic divergence. Results of mean cluster analysis showed that cluster X recorded highest cluster mean for four important yield attributing characters and cluster IX for two important characters. Genotypes from these cluster may produce progenies with high genetic variation.

Mechanistic Insights into Anomalous Kinetic Behaviour in the Hydrogenation of a Substituted Nitrobenzene
Authors: LeBars Joel , Dini Stefano , Hawkins Joel M. , Blackmond Donna G.
Published: August 2004

Unusual rate behaviour in the Pd‐catalyzed hydrogenation of 4‐nitroacetophenone is rationalized in terms of a combination of two reaction mechanisms, one which dominates at high substrate concentrations and one which dominates at the low surface coverage of substrate found at the end of the reaction. Kinetic modelling yields substrate binding constants consistent both with literature values for the first mechanism and with this proposal for the second mechanism. This behaviour may be general for the hydrogenation of bulky substituted nitrobenzene molecules containing functional groups which can interact with the Pd surface.

We have found a modular route for the synthesis of Cl‐MeOBIPHEP ligands via the corresponding biphenol that allows us to introduce several substituents without the necessity to separate the enantiomers of each derivative. These new diphosphanes were used in the ruthenium‐catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation of dimethyl itaconate with ee values up to 97%.
Nickel‐Catalyzed Regioselective Three Component Coupling Reaction of Alkyl Halides, Butadienes, and Ar‐M (M=MgX, ZnX)

Published: August 2004

A new method for the regioselective three component cross‐coupling reaction of alkyl halides, 1,3‐butadienes, and aryl‐Grignard reagents has been developed by the use of a nickel catalyst. This reaction proceeds efficiently at 25 °C using (dppf)NiCl2 as a catalyst. Alkyl chlorides, bromides, and iodides can be used as suitable alkylating reagents. The reaction also proceeds when arylzinc halides are used instead of Grignard reagents. Competitive reactions of a mixture of primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl bromides showed that the reactivities of the halides increase in the order primary<secondary<tertiary. A possible reaction pathway involving single electron transfer from a nickelate complex to alkyl halides is proposed.
