Authors: Pa'ee Furzani , Ismail Ahmad Arif , Abd Rani Muhammad Naim Fadzli , Mohd Noh Azlan Azizi , Radhi Zafrul Arif
Published: December 2024

Lemongrass is a perennial lawn crop. Generally known as serai makan in Malaysia. It has various uses, from table consumption to essential oil and ornamental and pharmaceutical products. However, the use of medicinal crops can be characterized by several approaches such as harvesting period, climatic factors, moisture, light exposure, plant parts, logistics, storehouse, drying process, and other post-harvest processes. One way to enhance lemongrass herbage yield is by manipulating the N rate. Department of Agriculture (DOA) Malaysia recommends using 400 kg/ha of NPK green 15:15:15 for 6‒8 months, but this is a generalized blanket recommendation and not nutrient-specific. Therefore, a study was carried out on the effect of N and the harvesting period. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with factorial. Analysis suggests that SPAD chlorophyll reading, slip number, and leaf blade number were significantly affected by N, harvesting period and interaction between N and harvesting period. SPAD readings at 150 and 180 days after transplant (DAT) only show significant improvement at 300 Kg N/ha. For slip numbers, the response at 210 DAT only showed significant improvement when at least 200 kg N/ha were applied, and the subsequent increment at 300 kg N/ha was at par. Leaves blade number response was unique for each harvesting period. Nevertheless, leaf blade numbers began to show a significant increment at 100 kg N/ha, and the increment of leaf blades between 200 to 300 kg N/ha was non-significant for all harvesting periods. These parameters exhibit significant positive linear responses towards N; some may have significantly unique responses to their harvesting period. Herbage yield was significantly affected by both N and the harvesting period, but there was no significant interaction between them. Herbage yielded the highest significant reading when 300 kg N/ha was applied, while the harvesting period contributed the highest significance at 240 DAT, while subsequent increment at 270 DAT was non-significant. Present findings may suggest that further study needs to be carried out to improve the current production manual, and consideration must be given to soil type, location, and climate conditions.

Authors: Saffinee Siti Syahirah , Jamaludin Mohammad Aizat , Che Mat Safiee Wan Nazri
Published: December 2024

Malaysia’s Halal gastronomy, with its deep roots in Islamic dietary laws, presents a strategic opportunity to enhance the country's position as a premier destination for Muslim-friendly tourism. Despite Malaysia's rich culinary heritage, the potential of Halal gastronomy to drive tourism and economic growth remains underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a qualitative analysis of the cultural, economic, and societal impacts of Halal gastronomy on Malaysia's tourism industry. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and qualitative data, the paper provides insights into how Malaysia can harness Halal gastronomy to strengthen its identity as a welcoming and inclusive destination for Muslim travellers.
Reevaluating cancer stem cells and polyploid giant cancer cells from the evolutionary cancer cell biology perspective
Authors: Niculescu Vladimir F.
Published: December 2024

According to the principles of Evolutionary Cancer Cell Biology (ECCB), cancer stem cells (CSCs) do not derive from normal stem cells; rather, they originate from a distinct functional phenotype of germline cells characterized by asymmetric cell division (ACD). This phenotype proliferates through ACD, producing self-renewing cells alongside non-proliferating daughter cells with CSC qualities. ECCB posits that CSCs do not proliferate. Similar to protists, there exists a close reciprocal relationship between sister cells that collectively form a germline and stem cells. These sister cells perform complementary roles: proliferating cancer germline cells generate stem cells, whereas the non-proliferating CSCs give rise to progenitor cells for the formation of new germline clones. ECCB distinguishes between primary CSCs, which are associated with carcinogenesis and primary tumors, and secondary CSCs, which are linked to metastases. This unicellular stem cell system is homologous to that of parasitic protists, such as amebae. Both CSCs and amebae stem cells are produced by an oxygen-sensitive germline and are vulnerable to damage when oxygen levels exceed 6.0% (germline hyperoxia), as elevated oxygen concentrations can harm the germline genome. Germline cells that lose their stemness quality continue to cycle through defective symmetric cell divisions (DSCD). However, to restore functionality, the DSCD genome must be repaired through hyperpolyploidization. This process occurs in native polyploid giant cancer cells, which are homologous to the multinucleated genome repair structures found in protists.
G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 and its role in sex-specific differences in neurological and cardiovascular diseases
Authors: Dräger Oliver , Gottschalk Julia , Wischmeyer Erhard , A. Nossek Beatrice
Published: December 2024

Estrogen receptors (ERs) and their ligands play a crucial role in physiological and pathophysiological processes, particularly in the central nervous and cardiovascular systems. There is increasing evidence that besides the two cytosolic and nuclear ERs, namely, ERα and ERβ, the seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled ER 1 (GPER1) is of great importance in the molecular mechanisms underlying various neurological and cardiovascular diseases and is probably responsible for sex-specific differences. In contrast to ERα and ERβ, GPER1 mediates its effects through not only transcriptional regulation but also rapid nongenomic signaling. This emphasizes the role of GPER1 in the modulation of acute pathophysiological mechanisms involving changes in diverse signaling pathways related to neurological and cardiological aspects. In this review, we have summarized the role of GPER1 in disorders of excitable tissues, including neuroinflammation, learning and memory, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, depression and mood disorders, schizophrenia, epilepsy, autism spectrum disorders and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, migraine and pain, cardiovascular hypertension, cardiovascular function and fibrosis, hypertrophy, and atrial fibrillation, with a special focus on its involvement in sex-specific differences. We have assessed reports investigating the role of GPER1 in rodents and humans using in vivo and in vitro data. We have also reviewed the role of nutraceuticals, especially phytoestrogens, in this context. Furthermore, we have discussed the potential of GPER1 as a target for novel therapeutic interventions and prognostic indicator of neurological and cardiovascular diseases with a focus on sex-specific differences.
Cathepsin proteases and cancer progression: A niche for dual-acting anticancer therapeutics
Authors: M. Soond Surinder
Published: December 2024

Cathepsin proteases have captivated the scientific community for many years owing to their deregulated expression, activation status, and potential role in the proliferation and progression of specific cancer types. These efforts have led to the development of several therapeutic strategies targeting specific cathepsin proteases. This development has been further driven by the identification of important cathepsin protease-specific target proteins. Despite the limitations of these approaches, primarily due to the lack of known specificity of cathepsin proteases in targeting substrate proteins, an alternative strategy may involve the identification and development of dual-acting therapeutics. We propose that these dual-acting therapeutics can selectively interfere with the protein constituents involved in forming a cathepsin-targeted protein complex while simultaneously inhibiting the cognate cathepsin protease. Considering this novel paradigm, we evaluated the potential of dual-acting therapeutics against other well-documented mimetic therapeutics designed to target intermediates in the apoptosis pathway. Some of these therapeutics may represent promising candidates for further testing as dual-acting anticancer therapeutics, either alone or in combination regimens.
Promoting stem cells activity using Chinese medicine herbs in treatment of neurological disorder: A review on novel therapeutic approaches
Authors: Kardan Romina , Ghotbi Reyhaneh , Mohammadi Shima
Published: December 2024

Stem cell therapy represents a burgeoning and swiftly advancing modality for the treatment of a diverse array of neurological disorders. However, despite continued clinical trials, the underlying mechanisms of action often remain elusive. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), with its holistic approach, provides a valuable resource for the identification and evaluation of potential neuroprotective agents. Research has shown that TCM, including herbs, herbal extracts, and specific Chinese herbal constituents, can modulate the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) to some extent. This review examines the potential of TCM as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. Given the limitations of current therapies due to a lack of understanding of disease pathogenesis, a holistic approach to TCM offers a promising alternative. This paper also summarizes the role of stem cells in the management of neurological disorders and evaluates prior studies concerning stem cell transplantation. In addition, it explores the capacity of TCM to influence the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs. The ultimate aim of this review is to enhance our understanding of how TCM can be utilized to influence stem cell behavior and potentially treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Authors: He You , Mamat Mohd Jaki Bin , Liu Sha , Mo Shuwen
Published: December 2024

As a representative of China’s vernacular architecture with unique forms and rich cultural connotations, Huizhou’s traditional dwellings have gained international recognition as a World Cultural Heritage site. These dwellings serve as a pi vital case study in exploring the dynamic relationship between globalization and local identity. This study employs CiteSpace software to visualize and analyze literature on traditional Huizhou houses published since 2000. We investigated publication trends and author and institutional collaboration networks and identified major research hotspots and their evolutionary paths at each stage by applying keyword co-occurrence, clustering, and emergence mapping. The results reveal three main phases in academic research on Huizhou traditional dwellings: from 2000 to 2010, studies primarily dissected architectural features and cultural connotations; from 2011 to 2020, research focused on the application of Huizhou’s traditional architectural and cultural symbols within contemporary design; and from 2021 to 2023, preliminary exploration began into the industrialized development and spatial narratives of Huizhou architectural elements. Although research on Huizhou’s traditional houses has yielded substantial insights, collaboration among authors and institutions remains limited, and theoretical innovation is insufficient. Future studies should prioritize multidisciplinary collaboration and quantitative analysis to advance the integration and sustainable development of theory and practice in this field.
Red industrial heritage: A vibrant medium for disseminating contemporary Chinese mainstream culture
Authors: Han Han Sunny , Zhuo Li Amal
Published: December 2024

Red industrial heritage represents historical evidence and important revolutionary cultural relics of Chinese-style modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It possesses distinct characteristics in terms of its temporal, conceptual, and value dimensions. Beyond serving as a repository of media memory, red industrial heritage functions as a vibrant medium for the dissemination of mainstream culture. Its defining features include the “Gaze-Immersion” effect, which evokes a return to historical scenes; the “Abstraction-Embodiment” process, which fosters material perception; and the “History-Reality” connection, which highlights contemporary relevance. However, current management practices for industrial heritage often follow the principle of “age priority,” resulting in challenges for the effective protection of red industrial heritage. Furthermore, when the cultural tourism industry intervenes in the protection and utilization of industrial heritage, it frequently emphasizes age value, location value, or esthetic appeal, while inadequately exploring and developing the cultural significance of red cultural resources. This oversight diminishes the role of red industrial heritage in disseminating mainstream culture. In recent years, increased attention to industrial heritage has expanded the pathways for mainstream culture dissemination, including conservation and renewal, intellectual property empowerment, and community participation. These approaches have generated valuable experiences and insights into enhancing the cultural and social functions of red industrial heritage.

Authors: Rivera-Maldonado Gabrielle , Song Wenxin , Noel Leenil , Fusick Adam J.
Published: December 2024

Serotonin syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by increased serotonergic activity. Although this condition is commonly associated with certain antidepressants, this report describes a case of serotonin syndrome induced by the combined use of metaxalone and phentermine with duloxetine and bupropion. Our patient developed serotonin syndrome following the administration of metaxalone for severe back spasms. Symptoms resolved following the discontinuation of these medications, provision of supportive care, and administration of lorazepam and cyproheptadine. This case report adds to the existing literature, as studies on metaxalone-induced serotonin syndrome are currently limited. This case report also highlights the importance of monitoring polypharmacy, especially when prescribing less common medications such as metaxalone as well as weight-loss medications such as phentermine.

Optimizing Real-Time Scheduling for Post Islanding Energy Management Using African Vulture Optimization Algorithm on Hybrid Microgrids Environment
Authors: Madamaneri Ramya , T Dr Devaraju
Published: December 2024

Microgrids (MG) are small-scale energy systems that use distributed energy storage and sources. Hybrid microgrids are transforming energy management by incorporating various energy resources like wind, solar, and battery storage. Effective scheduling of this resource is vital to minimize the costs and maximize energy autonomy. Advanced scheduling algorithm optimizes the operation of hybrid microgrids, which dynamically adjusts the energy consumption and generation to satisfy the demand while ensuring power balancing. This scheduling strategy has been instrumental in improving the sustainability and resilience of MGS, which paves the way for an environmentally friendly and more reliable energy future. They can operate on islanded or grid-connected modes. The optimization of hybrid MG scheduling is paramount in the field of post-island management to ensure effective energy sustainability and distribution. Using metaheuristic approaches like simulated annealing or genetic algorithms allows the finetuning of scheduling parameters to increase energy utilization while reducing environmental impact and costs. Therefore, the study presents a Real-Time Scheduling for Post Islanding Energy Management using African Vulture Optimization Algorithm (RTSPIEM-AVOA) in Hybrid microgrid environment. The RTSPIEM-AVOA approach is utilized to improve its functioning by determining the most efficient scheduling of the installed generation unit. The AVOA can handle complex optimization issues while avoiding local optima solutions because of the balance among the exploitation and exploration stages. A microturbine (MT) system, battery storage, a fuel cell (FC), photovoltaic (PV), and wind turbine (WT) make up the suggested MG system. This work looks at three scenarios: PV and WT operating at normal generation, PV and WT operating at their maximum power, and WT operating at its rated power. Consider the two objective functions of minimizing pollutant emissions and reducing operational costs. According to the experimental results, the RTSPIEM-AVOA technique outperforms other models in microgrid scheduling by efficiently optimizing it to satisfy the community's changing needs while transitioning to a greener and more sustainable energy future.
Optimized Energy Management for PV Hybrid Power Systems with DC Bus Voltage Control
Authors: Nadam L. , Chakravarthy M. , Manjula M.
Published: December 2024

The growing popularity of direct current (DC) power sources, energy storage systems, and DC loads has recently shifted the focus away from alternating current (AC) microgrids and towards DC-only systems. However, smart and energy-efficient building integration and effective microgrid administration are prerequisites. Direct current microgrids, which include solar modules as their principal power source, an energy storage device (battery), and an essential DC load, may have their energy consumption managed with the help of our study. Within the microgrid (MG) architecture, the DC-DC boost converter enables the PV module to operate in many modes, one of which is Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). In order to link the battery and supercapacitor to the DC bus, the system also makes use of a DC-DC bidirectional converter. By restricting the charging/discharging currents and state of charge (SoC) of the batteries and supercapacitors, the proposed control approach seeks to manage power flow within the microgrid while considering their lifespan. This method simplifies and improves upon previous approaches to DC load supply by doing away with complicated energy management or maximum power point tracking methods. We conceived and simulated the DC microgrid under investigation thanks to Matlab/Simulink. We fulfil the load demand while maintaining system stability and performance. We provide a presentation and discussion of findings from controller design, analysis, and simulation validation for several operating modes.
Proposing and Analyzing the Effects of a Road Work Zone Mobile Application with User Interface and Rerouting on Level of Service
Authors: Algherbal Eman , Gazder Uneb
Published: December 2024

Work zones are common on roadways either for construction or maintenance purposes. They usually cause a drop in the capacity, as well as the level of service (LOS) of the road, and result into traffic congestion. In this paper, a free-flow segment of 222 m along the eastbound movement of Sheikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah (SJAS) Highway was studied as it went under road construction. The acceleration lane was closed which resulted in a drop of capacity from 2472 pc/h/ln to 2396 pc/h/ln and dramatic drop in LOS from A to D. The paper proposes a mobile application to improve LOS along roadways with workzones. The proposed application will provide information to the road user along with alternative routes. A survey was done which covered 1025 vehicle users in Bahrain. It aimed to understand and analyze traveler’s willingness to reroute in case of previous knowledge about work zones along their route. The survey showed that 96% of the sample was willing to reroute. Calculations were made based on certain assumptions to get LOS at work zone back to A. It showed that to improve the LOS to A, 50% to 54% of the vehicles along the road should reroute, which is way below 96% and gives us a huge margin of error. In conclusion, it could be said that the proposed application could improve the work zone LOS, when developed and implemented according to the recommendations of this research.

A kaméleon pennájú Csokonai
Authors: Debreczeni Attila
Published: December 2024

In the past thirty years, there have been great changes in the philology and chronology of the Csokonai oeuvre. The consequences of which have to be applied to the whole oeuvre. This study aims to present the transformation of the fundamental aspects of interpretation. The basic groundwork for this is examining when and which works Csokonai intended to present to the public. The result of the analysis shows that the chameleon metaphor in the title not only means a multifaceted personality, but also the instinct with which Csokonai intended to adopt the cultural layers of his age, and thus representing its integrative character.
Csokonai Csókjai
Authors: Fülöp Dorottya
Published: December 2024

Csokonai’s A’ Tsókok ("The Kisses") is a love epic in prose that borrows from the world of pastoral drama and was originally intended to comprise twelve cantos. It remained unfinished but is nevertheless often considered the greatest accomplishment of Csokonai’s early literary career. Csokonai borrowed liberally from his earlier readings and translation attempts during the creation of the text, and literary historiography has already made a detailed accounting of the exact locations and sources of such transplants. This study uses close textual analysis to reveal the sensitive poetical solutions employed by Csokonai to uncover parts where he inventively deviated from the patterns followed, and to point out the carefully structured network of motifs present in the finished parts.
„Furtsa epopeák”
Authors: Hermann Zoltán
Published: December 2024

Csokonai’s Treatise on Epopeia, written for a vague purpose, is surprisingly close to the modern approach taken in Ritchie Robertson’s monograph Mock-Epic Poetry from Pope to Heine. Neither Csokonai nor Robertson considers the serious and parodic versions of the epic as a distinct tradition, as heroic epics also contain parodic elements, and mock-epic poetry is not really a travesty of the heroic epic, but – in Aristotelian terms – a pseudo-heroic, pseudoactionary or pseudo-narrative (mock-heroic, mock-actionary or mock-narrative) discourse. Hence the canon-historical misconception – to which, of course, Csokonai himself falls victim in the Treatise on Epopeia – that only the genres belonging to the “high-brow”, heroic epic can be considered classics of national literature. But Csokonai’s poetic practice shows otherwise. Although the reception of Csokonai may see biographical reasons for this, reasons for the fragmentary nature of his oeuvre, in fact it may seem that Csokonai regarded an ironic, satirical version of the double epic tradition as his poetic ideal. At the end of this paper, I argue that in his poetic procedures of what Csokonai calls the „furtsa epopea” – which involve heroes and literary figures, and which can be linked to plot and narrative forms – female discourses, female focus, or narrative positions empathic with female perspectives also play a prominent role in most cases. This is also evident in Csokonai’s poem Dorottya.
Csokonai, a Debreceni Kollégium és a költő helyi kultusza
Authors: Győri L. János
Published: December 2024

I argue that the research into the relationship between the poet and his former school has become overwhelmed by the infamous trial of Csokonai. Whenever the topic is discussed, researchers often come to a standstill during the interpretation of why and howHungary’s most significant Enlightenment poet came into conflict with his own school an institution to which he owed both his impressive education and the development of his poetic talent. As a result, the examination of the institution’s intellectual influence on the poet is overshadowed. The study reviews the ritualistic elements of student life, such as the daily routine, the legation, and fundraising, which had a strong impact on Csokonai’s personal development, but have so far escaped the attention of literary historians. The paper also outlines the main characteristics of the cult of Csokonai at the college. It highlights that, unlike the now-defunct cult in Debrecen, it is the students’ literary societies–originally created by Csokonai–continue to keep this tradition alive to this day.

Statutory Religious Accommodation in Employment and the Problems of Judicial Intent and Outcome
Authors: Wright George
Published: December 2024

The Groff v. DeJoy case unhappily, but inevitably, generates a variety of realistically unresolvable fundamental problems in typical statutory religious accommodation cases. Perhaps even more important, though, are the unintended and perverse results of Groff’s placing a generally heavier burden of religious accommodation on employers. The Groff standard indeed incentivizes the bringing of more religious discrimination cases, and both the winning and losing of such cases by religious claimants. But our adversarial cultural circumstances, including the typical inseparability of religion, politics, and culture, crucially affect the actual, but unintended, results of judicial reforms. The Groff rule is likely to result, unintendedly, in greater, not less, overall religiously grounded alienation and demoralization in the typical workplace.

From the data on the 2019 general election, generation Z and millennials have a voice that has a big influence because their number reaches 70-80 million votes from 193 million participants. With the large voice of the two generations, it can determine who the future leaders are. However, from the 2021 Kompas R&D survey, Generation Z, aged 24 and under, has not yet made their choice of a political party, still at 48.1 percent, the highest compared to other generations. If this is not resolved, this could lead to abstentions in the upcoming election, namely in the 2024 election. Departing from this background, the authors designed a video content on the Tiktok platform that aims to increase awareness of generation Z in exercising their right to vote for the 2024 election. The method used used in this design, namely, the Design Thinking method from Tim Brown (2009). In designing video content, the author also refers to the rhetorical theory of (Josephson, Kelly, & Smith, 2020), for the delivery of the video content. The results of designing visual communication from video content with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of using the right to vote in elections need to use an approach to the daily problems of generationZ. Selection of content that is too formal is deemed inappropriate for targets who prefer light content such as drama, comed, horror, and others.

Mosquito vectors such as Aedes spp. are responsible for the transmission of arboviruses that have a major impact on public health. Therefore, it is necessary to search for ways to control these insects, avoiding the use of conventional chemical insecticides that are proven to be toxic to nature. In the last years, there has been growing evidence for the potential of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to be ecologically benign alternatives to the commercially available chemical insecticides against vector-borne diseases. Natural seaweed extracts contain metabolites such as polyphenols, terpenoids, and alkaloids. These compounds act as reducing agents and stabilizers to synthesize biogenic AgNPs. The green synthesis of AgNPs has advantages over other methods, such as low cost and sustainable biosynthesis. In the perspective of using AgNPs in the development of novel insecticides for vector control, this review deals with the eco-friendly synthesis of AgNPs through seaweed extracts as reducing and stabilizing agents. In addition, assessment of toxicity of these nanomaterials in non-target species is discussed.

La búsqueda de combustibles que no emitan gases de efecto invernadero, hace que el uso de hidrógeno en la industria siderúrgica sea cada vez más necesario, por lo que, esta investigación representa un compromiso ecológico, donde, tanto investigadores como la empresa buscan la generación de hidrógeno para su utilización en el proceso productivo del acero. Para su desarrollo, se utilizó una celda de acrílico, solución amoniacal y una fuente de poder. El proceso experimental consta de tres partes, primero, la evaluación de la generación de hidrógeno variando el potencial aplicado y el tiempo de electrólisis; segundo, la sustitución del agua amoniacal por una solución de amoniaco sintética, a fin de explicar el comportamiento del sistema y minimizar el efecto de los componentes de la solución ajenos al amoniaco; y tercero, el cambio de los electrodos de grafito por electrodos de acero, con el objetivo de evaluar su efecto en el proceso electrolítico. La cuantificación del hidrógeno fue de manera indirecta, utilizando un tubo de Venturi mediante el cual, se succionaron y depositaron los gases generados y en una solución de sulfato cúprico (generando precipitados) para determinar estequiométricamente la masa de hidrógeno producida. Los resultados de la evaluación del tiempo, densidad de corriente y concentración de las soluciones, definieron un tiempo experimental de 30 minutos, una densidad de corriente de 100 A/m2 y que la concentración inicial de amoniaco en las soluciones, puede influir en los resultados obtenidos, los mejores resultados corresponden a la generación de 1.130 g H2 en una solución con 2.6 g/l NH3. En conclusión, fue posible determinar las mejores condiciones de procesamiento; que la concentración inicial de amoniaco tiene un efecto en la generación electroquímica de hidrógeno; que en todas las soluciones se tuvo una disminución en la concentración inicial de amoniaco y que mediante la determinación indirecta del hidrógeno fue posible desarrollar los cálculos de masa generada del gas.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar o estresse laboral, a satisfação e a motivação para o trabalho de profissionais de enfermagem de bloco operatório no Brasil. Métodos Estudo do tipo open survey nacional, realizado entre os meses de agosto e dezembro de 2023. Utilizou-se Escala de Satisfação no Trabalho - EST, o questionário de Motivação para o trabalho e a Escala de Estresse no Trabalho – EET em um formulário online. Resultados Houve um total de 385 respostas, sendo 160 profissionais (41,6%) técnicos ou auxiliares de enfermagem e 225(58,4%) enfermeiros. Houve elevada parcela de profissionais com níveis de estresse entre moderado e elevado (72,98%), tendo sido significativo o resultado de maior estresse moderado a elevado nos profissionais do turno diurno (p=0,01) e sem diferença por gênero nem faixa etária. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre as variáveis para técnicos e enfermeiros, nem em função do tipo de vínculo. Ter dois ou mais empregos e trabalhar em horários diurnos está associado a maior percepção de estresse relacionado ao trabalho. Conclusão A elevada proporção de profissionais técnicos de enfermagem e enfermeiros com estresse moderado e elevado merece destaque entre os achados da pesquisa.

El presente estudio de investigación fue desarrollado con el objetivo de determinar la influencia de los juegos didácticos en el aprendizaje de matemáticas en sexto año de Educación Básica de la Unidad Educativa “9 de Octubre”. Se utilizó una metodología cuasiexperimental, con un enfoque mixto; cualitativo y cuantitativo. La población seleccionada fue no probabilística de 38 estudiantes y 2 docentes, se empleó un pre-test y post-test. Para documentar los datos, la técnica de investigación implementada fue el cuestionario y la entrevista, validados con cálculos y análisis estadístico para demostrar alta confiabilidad. En base a los resultados obtenidos se pudo confirmar la hipótesis de la presente investigación; el grupo post-test incrementó su razonamiento matemático junto con el rendimiento académico en comparación al grupo pre-test; además, se observó mayor número de estudiantes que alcanzan y dominan los aprendizajes requeridos. La investigación también demostró la necesidad de mayor capacitación y apoyo de recursos tecnológicos para los docentes, lo cual se determinó a los juegos didácticos como una herramienta imprescindible en el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en los estudiantes de educación básica media, generando un entorno escolar más divertido y proactivo.

Este artículo, tiene como temática central “Un vistazo a las metodologías centradas en los estudiantes”; teniendo como objetivo principal “Analizar y sintetizar la literatura académica relacionada con las metodologías enfocadas en los educandos, identificando las más efectivas”; partiendo del problema de investigación: ¿cuáles son las metodologías educativas centradas en los estudiantes más efectivas que identifica la literatura académica reciente y qué factores influyen en su implementación exitosa? La metodología de investigación empleada en este artículo fue de revisión bibliográfica, para la cual se utilizaron buscadores académicos de reconocida probidad científica, entre los que se destacan Scopus, Google académico, Scielo, Dialnet, Web of Science, Redalyc. Se revisaron más de veinte artículos científicos, de los que se encontró que las metodologías centradas en los escolares más usados son: Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, Aprendizaje Colaborativo, Aula Invertida, Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos, Gamificación y Aprendizaje Basado en Retos. Además, los autores consultados concuerdan que estas metodologías son efectivas para el aprendizaje significativo de los educandos en un contexto de participación integral de los mismos; pero, que para una implementación integral se requiere de un conocimiento de los docentes en las TICS y de experticia en la gestión adecuada de los trabajos colaborativos de los estudiantes en la resolución de proyectos integradores.
