QUÉ ENSEÑA A LA SUSTENTABILIDAD LA PROPUESTA “CONTRA LA SOSTENIBILIDAD” DE ANDREU ESCRIVÀ
Authors: Bedoya Parra Luz Andrea , Mejía Soto Eutimio
Published: June 2024

Los términos sostenibilidad y sustentabilidad son diferentes, no secuenciales, no complementarios, no son etapas del mismo proceso, son antagónicos. La sostenibilidad es insustentable. La sostenibilidad tiene como fin el mantenimiento de las condiciones económicas y empresariales en un contexto de tiempo y espacio determinado, siendo uno de los medios para lograrlo la protección parcial del capital natural y social en un territorio, siempre que esta acción represente réditos financieros. La sustentabilidad, tiene como objetivo el mantenimiento de las condiciones ecológicas óptimas en función de la vida; para lograrlo, deberá replantearse las dinámicas de producción y consumo, y de ser el caso, abandonar los anhelos de crecimiento económico y desarrollo, visiones que deja atrás para encausarse en la búsqueda del progreso, el buen vivir y la armonía en comunidad territorial. El presente documento se construye a partir de las reflexiones presentadas por Andreu Escrivà en la obra “Contra la sostenibilidad”, en la cual construye una crítica a la sostenibilidad como lenguaje engañoso, aparente, descoordinado y fingido de una responsabilidad socioambiental que no encarna en su accionar. La Red de investigación en ciencias económicas, administrativas y contables REDICEAC encuentra que los argumentos presentados por el autor contribuyen a fundamentar el término sustentabilidad que la organización ha querido impulsar como freno al modelo de sostenibilidad amparado en la economía del derroche, el crecimiento ilimitado y el consumo desmedido.
Bacterial Pangenome: A Review on the Current Strategies, Tools and Applications
Authors: Golchha Nikita Chordia , Nighojkar Anand , Nighojkar Sadhana
Published: June 2024

The genomic research has grown by the advancement of sequencing technologies, which aim to capture the "totality" of life diversity by progressing from single strain to species or even higher taxa. Out of this scientific progress and inquisitiveness, the term "pangenome" was created. The goal of a pangenome is to represent all of a species genetic variation. It divides the genome into core, accessory and unique genes. Since the introduction of pangenomics, many software programs have been actively used for pangenome analysis. This review focuses on providing a snapshot of useful tools with their use, execution and computational details. In addition to tools for pangenome, the components, approaches, mechanism of variation, applications and challenges associated with pangenome analysis are also discussed in this article. Here, we have also discussed the increasing trend of bacterial pangenome studies with few studies and their significant findings. It has been proved that pangenomics is useful for understanding the clade of bacteria that helps in developing strategies for various application based on biological similarities and differences.

Prevalencia del dolor crónico entre adultos en los Estados Unidos
Authors: Yong R. Jason , Mullins Peter M. , Bhattacharyya Neil
Published: June 2024

El dolor crónico se asocia con una calidad de vida reducida, mayores gastos médicos y costos económicos significativos. El dolor crónico se encuentra entre las afecciones crónicas más comunes de los Estados Unidos, aunque las estimaciones varían ampliamente con respecto a su prevalencia precisa.Comprender el alcance del problema utilizando los datos más contemporáneos es, por lo tanto, un objetivo importante. Este estudio buscó determinar la prevalencia del dolor crónico y sus impactos entre adultos en los Estados Unidos utilizando la Encuesta Nacional de Entrevista de Salud. Esta es una encuesta anual, hecha en el hogar, sobre el estado de salud de los adultos estadounidenses y se puede utilizar para generar información y estimados a nivel nacional.Usando un módulo de dolor crónico, presentado en la edición 2019 de la Encuesta Nacional de Entrevistas de Salud, encontramos que 50.2 millones de adultos (20,5%), declararon tener dolor la mayoría de los días o todos los días. Las partes del cuerpo con dolor más comunes fueron dolor de espalda, cadera, rodilla o pie. Las modalidades terapéuticas más utilizadas fueron la fisioterapia y el masaje. Los encuestados informaron también tener limitaciones en sus actividades cotidianas, incluyendo las actividades sociales. Igualmente informaron tener significativamente más días de ausentismo laboral en comparación con aquellos sin dolor crónico (10,3 frente a 2,8; P <0,001). En general, estos hallazgos indican que más de 1 de cada 5 adultos en Estados Unidos presenta dolor crónico. Por ende, una atención adicional a la gestión de esta condición está muy justificada.

Authors: Faisal Sana , Elsayed Inas Gomaa Salim , Ahmad Muhammad Saad , Nayyab Dur E , Fatima Aqsa , Murtaza Ghulam , Ahmed Ismail
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence and contributing factors of burnout among medical professionals. It aims to identify the effects of burnout on their physical and mental health and to explore the coping strategies employed to manage this condition.
Methodology: A structured questionnaire was distributed to medical professionals across various specialities to gather data on demographics, factors contributing to burnout, its effects, and coping strategies. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and visualized with bar charts to identify patterns and differences between male and female respondents.
Findings: The study surveyed 65 medical professionals, with a gender distribution of 55.4% female and 44.6% male. Key findings revealed that the predominant factors contributing to burnout were long working hours (38.5%) and high workload (29.2%). The primary effects of burnout included physical health issues (32.3%) and mental health issues (30.8%). In terms of coping strategies, engaging in self-care activities (40%) and social activities such as having fun and going out with friends (29.2%) were most commonly employed.
Gender-based analysis indicated that for males, the top burnout factors were high workload (40%) and long working hours (32%), with significant effects being reduced job satisfaction (28%) and mental health issues (28%). For females, long working hours (76.9%) were the predominant factor, with physical health issues (53.8%) being the most common effect. Coping strategies varied, with males favouring self-care activities (36%) and social activities (32%), while females equally favoured social activities, self-care activities, and setting boundaries at work (30.8% each).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy, and Practice: This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on burnout among medical professionals by highlighting gender-specific differences in burnout factors, effects, and coping strategies. It provides empirical evidence that long working hours and high workload are significant contributors to burnout, but their impact varies between males and females. The findings underscore the importance of considering gender when studying burnout, as the effects and coping mechanisms differ. This nuanced understanding can inform theoretical models of occupational stress and burnout, leading to more comprehensive frameworks that account for gender-specific experiences.
Body Weight Perception and its Relationship with Anthropometric Indices of Undergraduate Students in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Obia Onyebuchi , Nsanowaji Isaac Meloh , Obia Udodiri
Published: June 2024

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate body weight perception and its relationship with anthropometric indices and blood glucose of undergraduate students in Port Harcourt.
Methodology: The study involved a total of 600 undergraduate students aged 18-35 years (including 249 males and 351 females). Body weight perception was assessed using a structured questionnaire. The anthropometric indices (weight, height, waist, hip and shoulder circumference and foot length) of each subject were measured using standard methods while the ratios were calculated.
Findings: The average BMI of undergraduates was 23.66±0.13kg/m2. There was no significant gender difference in BMI, hip circumference and foot length. Waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio were significantly higher in males while waist-to-height ratio was significantly higher in females. There was significant correlation between BMI and hip circumference, shoulder circumference and waist circumference but no significant correlation exists between BMI and foot length. The incidence of obesity amongst undergraduates in Port Harcourt was as low as 3.3% using the measured BMI even when only 1.5% admitted being obese. The actual BMI classified overweight was 25.7% as against perceived overweight of 19.8%. Only 56.3% perceived themselves to be within the normal weight whereas up to 67.5% were actually normal weight. The incidence of underweight was 3.5% but as many as 22.3% of undergraduates perceived they were underweight.
Unique Contribution of Theory, Practice and Policy: Waist-to-height ratio therefore was more useful in assessing abdominal size in females while waist-to-hip ratio was more useful in assessing abdominal size in young adult males. Amongst the anthropometric indices, foot length was a poor tool in assessing body weight.

Authors: Maher Sara , Salah Faten , Maher Kesmat , Demerdash Zeinab , El Baz Hanan , Abdallah Hadeel H , Khateeb Engy M. , Shawky Shereen M.
Published: June 2024

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of two commercially available serum independent culture media; serum free medium (SFM) and chemically defined medium (CDM), on the growth rate, antibody   productivity  and post adaptation cryopreservation and revival reactivity of  hybridoma cells compared to the conventional serum based medium (SBM). In addition, the diagnostic efficacy of MAbs secreted in each culture medium was evaluated by testing their performance in sandwich ELISA for antigen detection. Anti- Shistosoma mansoni soluble egg antigen hybridoma cell line (7A/8F) secreting previously characterized IgG Kappa mAbs, recognizing repetitive epitopes on Shistosoma mansoni soluble egg antigen, were retrieved and propagated in each of the three forementioned media, growth rate and viability were assessed post culturing in each media. The data collected from this study indicated that MAbs secreted  from hybridoma cells cultured in SFM were the most abundant, easiest to purify, and the most effective in   antigen detection by sandwich ELISA, than those produced in the other two media. Moreover, SFM provided a high quality medium for lab-scale production of MAbs. Moreover, combination of fresh and conditioned medium with DMSO 7.5% was the most promising formulation for the cryopreservation of hybridoma cells cultivated in serum independent media (SFM or CDM).

Authors: Weldegerima Tesfay Mekonnen , Belay Simane  , Tadesse terefe
Published: June 2024

Purpose: Increased trends in extreme climate events such as prolonged hot or cold days and intensively rainy days or consecutive dry days have greater negative impacts on society. While studies are conducted on climate variability and impacts most of them focus on the mean climatologies. Extrem events of Tempertaure and preciptation however have profound effect on human health and the environment. The present study aims to examine the spatial and temporal characteristics of means and extremes of temperature and precipitation events in the Tana-Beles Sub-basin for the 1980-2015 periods.
Methodology: Daily temperature and preciptaion time series was collected from the Ethiopian meteorological institute covering the 1980-2015. From the daily climate variables 22 daily extreme climate indices are calculated based on the Expert Team on Sector-specific Climate Indices (ET-SCI) definitions.
Findings: The Monthly, seasonal and annual temperatures show mostly increasing trends. The mean annual maximum and minimum temperatures increased slightly, respectively, by 0.047 and 0.014 oC/yr. The frequency of cold days/nights has reduced by 33/38 days/nights annually; whereas, the frequency of warm days/nights has increased by 91/83 days/nights. The mean monthly, seasonal and annual precipitations also show mostly increasing trends.Among the selected precipitation indices the number of very heavy rain days (R20mm), Simple Daily Intensity Index (SDII), very wet days exceeding the 95th percentile (R95p), and annual total wet days precipitation (RCPTOT) shows increasing trend; whereas, only the maximum 1-day precipitation (Rx1day), show an insignificant decreasing trend. Precipitation during the study period shows high variability spatially and temporally.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study reveals increasing in number of hot days and vraible prciptation events, hence measures must be taken to reduce risks of extreme tempertures such as direct effect and indirect malaria distributions to new areas that have been cold before, and agricultural advised forming is also suggested to cope with the variabilities of prciptation.  
Keywords: Climate trends; extremes climate events; Temperature and rainfall; and Tana-Beles Sub basins.

Authors: Mwakio Patrick , Mathenge George , Maroko George
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study sought to assess the preparedness of Law Enforcement Officers in handling white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County. The research objectives were to establish the adequacy of current resources available to effectively manage white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to explore the competencies of the law enforcement agents in investigating white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to examine the challenges encountered  by Law enforcement agents face in thwarting  white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County and finally to establish the strategies for enhancing the capacity of law enforcement agents in handling white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County. 
Methodology: The target population was largely drawn from the Kenya police, Directorate of criminal investigations and the Kenya Anti-corruption commission with a sample size of 371 respondents drawn from the DCI and KPS. This study adopted quantitative and qualitative research methods. It used a descriptive survey design. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The study was guided by the Rational Choice Theory. Quantitative data was analysed through the SPSS tool version 23. The reports from qualitative data were presented using descriptive statistics. This included frequencies, modes, means, variances and standard deviations. Qualitative data was first coded, patterns established themes and finally reported narratively.  
Results: The study revealed that there was a significant and strong relationship between the four variables and preparedness level to deal with white collar crime, however the enforcement agents in Nairobi County-Kenya were found to be generally ill prepared to fight white collar crime. The study revealed that corruption tendering and other acts of bribery; money laundering, embezzlement/misappropriation of public funds/resources as the most prevalent crimes. Cyber-hacking and other forms of internet fraud were also perceived to be problematic, yet security agents were inadequately prepared to deal with these kinds of crimes as they lacked resources and the relevant training to enable them to investigate, arrest, and prosecute the culprits. 
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommended that the government should allocate more funds and resources to enable law enforcement agents procure modern gadgets that track internet activities; the officers/forensic experts need to have proper training and be recruited from the smart people in society who are perceived to be supper intelligent for them to be smart in their investigations;  there is also need to strengthen the existing and establish relevant laws (legal and institutional frameworks) aimed at combating corruption related and other economic crimes.
In War and Peace: The Military Forces between 1996-2022
Authors: Pizarro Leongómez Eduardo
Published: June 2024

This book by Eduardo Pizarro serves to fill a gap. It first points out one of the reasons: the profound ignorance and laziness of civilians in analyzing security issues; with honorable, but very few exceptions —Francisco Leal, Armando Borrero, Alejo Vargas, Andrés Dávila, María Victoria Llorente...—, politicians, journalists, and academics have hardly begun to do the work. The country has produced many specialists in violence, but few have shown interest in the Army. The author finds a root of this laziness in the speech of Alberto Lleras Camargo at the Teatro Patria on May 9, 1958, after the failed coup attempt of May 2 of the previous year. I have reread this exceptional piece very carefully. Lleras spoke of two distinct spheres: the civil and the military, and of the need for each to recognize the prerogatives of the other. I must point out that I find the interpretation that has been made of this speech inadequate; it has been criticized for not having recognized the responsibility that military personnel have to understand that their matters inevitably have political dimensions, nor the responsibility -the ultimate responsibility in a democracy is theirs, the civilians’, not the uniformed’s- that civilians have to participate in the intelligent design of military institutions and the strategies they must formulate. Pizarro briefly summarizes certain key moments in the evolution of the Military Forces: the beginnings of professionalization with the Chilean Mission, requested by President Rafael Reyes, which marked the beginning of the end of the old party armies; the war with Peru, which although brief and distant, demanded an enormous effort that unfortunately left no useful lessons for addressing violence problems after 1946; participation in the Korean War and the counterinsurgency reorientation of the early 1960s, with the emergence within the officer corps of certain developmentalist thought currents, whose leading exponents were General Alberto Ruiz Novoa and, until his death, General Álvaro Valencia Tovar, an educator of civilians of admirable persistence.

Authors: Zara Reginaldo Aparecido , Wilhelm Shirley Mara Teixeira
Published: June 2024

A observação de características recorrentes na percepção dos estudantes sobre aqueles que consideram bons professores fornece indícios sobre atributos desejáveis para a composição de um retrato do “bom professor”. Neste trabalho investigamos as características do bom professor na percepção de discentes dos cursos de Matemática dos campi de Cascavel e de Foz do Iguaçu, da Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná. Para a coleta de dados aplicamos um questionário composto de uma única questão aberta e discursiva, buscando capturar a percepção espontânea do respondente sobre o tema. As respostas foram avaliadas utilizando a Análise de Conteúdo e adotando as características associadas às dimensões humana, técnica e ideológica do trabalho pedagógico como categorias a priori. Os resultados sugerem que os alunos valorizam atributos associados à dimensão humana da atuação do professor, e que o bom professor possui domínio técnico sobre o que ensina, mas não se preocupa em ser conteudista, adotando estratégias de ensino baseadas no diálogo com os alunos.

Integrity Testing Performance Analysis in Embedded Systems using IDI
Authors: Mr. S. Manikanda  , Dr. S. Venkatakiran
Published: June 2024

Multiple modules that interact with one another to exchange data make up embedded systems. Incorrect resource data exchanged between modules might cause anomalies or mistakes in operation. Resources that interact create dependencies between two modules, such that modifications made to one module's resources will impact modifications made to another module's functionality. Interaction errors between modules are one of the main causes of severe software failures, according to several embedded system investigations, such as those conducted on aerospace or automotive systems. Interaction testing is therefore a crucial step in minimizing risk and reducing interaction errors. When modules interact both directly and indirectly, interaction failures arise. Indirect interactions occur beneath the interface, where a data reliance relationship with resources may lead to an unexpected result

Working capital management of the enterprise
Authors: Болсынбекова Г.А.
Published: June 2024

Процесс управления оборотным капиталом по самой своей природе имеет большое значение в формировании результатов деятельности предприятия в условиях рыночных отношений. При управлении оборотными активами основной целью является определение их оптимального размера и структуры, а также формирование источников их финансирования. Для поддержания ликвидности предприятие должно иметь высокий уровень оборотного капитала, но для повышения рентабельности предприятие должно уменьшить объем оборотного капитала. Оборотный капитал можно охарактеризовать как рычаг, регулирующий весь производственный процесс, уровень прибыли предприятия и объем выпускаемой продукции.

The process of working capital management, by its very nature, is of great importance in shaping the results of an enterprise’s activities in market conditions. When managing current assets, the main goal is to determine their optimal size and structure, as well as the formation of sources of their financing. To maintain liquidity, an enterprise must have a high level of working capital, but to increase profitability, an enterprise must reduce the amount of working capital. Working capital can be characterized as a lever that regulates the entire production process, the level of profit of the enterprise and the volume of output.

Objetivo: Esta pesquisa busca aprofundar-se nas temáticas gênero, diversidade e trabalho, tendo como objetivo revisar a literatura que explora a travestilidade e transexualidade nos estudos de administração e gestão. Método: Para alcance do objetivo proposto, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura, no qual três perguntas auxiliaram a compreender o estado da arte sobre a temática no cenário nacional e internacional. Resultados: As análises inicias indicam que mesmo após 16 anos da primeira publicação na área da administração no Brasil, ainda existe um número limitado de pesquisa nas revistas e eventos científicos nacionais. Além disso, a academia brasileira não acompanhou o período de crescimento sobre a temática que iniciou em 2017 na literatura internacional. Nos últimos anos, nas pesquisas internacionais, nota-se a tendência de trabalhos com um olhar voltado as organizações, que avaliam os benefícios e vantagens das políticas de inclusão e defesa da liberdade de gênero e a discussão sobre temas mais sensíveis. Conclusão: este estudo amplia a discussão sobre minorias, gênero, sexualidade, suas interseccionalidades e o trabalho. Além disso, apresenta como os estudos da área de administração estão abordando esta temática, identificando lacunas teóricas e propondo uma agenda de pesquisas futuras.
The linguistic prehistory of Nubia
Authors: Dimmendaal Gerrit J.
Published: June 2024

Evidence from historical linguistics, philology, archaeology, and, more recently, genetics enables us to reconstruct part of the complex history of the area in southern Egypt and northern Sudan that has come to be known as Nubia. Whereas today Nubian languages and Arabic are dominant in these areas, interdisciplinary research points towards the presence of several other languages in the past, spoken by communities who interacted with each other to various extents over the past millennia, depending on such factors as climate change and technological development, but also on ever-changing sociopolitical constellations.
