Published: January 2025

La investigación analizó el desarrollo e implementación de una guía didáctica para el uso ético y eficaz de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en el primer año de Bachillerato Técnico en la Unidad Educativa Pichincha. Destaca la evolución de esta herramienta y su potencial transformador en la educación, subrayando la carencia de un marco ético específico en la formación técnica y la insuficiente preparación de los docentes para integrar estas tecnologías de manera responsable. Empleando un enfoque mixto (cuantitativo y cualitativo), el estudio revela que, aunque la IA permite personalizar el aprendizaje y optimizar resultados académicos, enfrenta desafíos importantes, como desigualdades en el acceso y escasa orientación ética en su uso. La guía propuesta fue evaluada favorablemente por expertos, quienes sugirieron mejoras en innovación y aplicabilidad para maximizar su impacto en la enseñanza técnica. El estudio concluye que una integración exitosa de la IA requiere formación especializada para estudiantes y docentes, además de directrices éticas sólidas que promuevan un entorno educativo equitativo y eficaz en el uso de la tecnología.

Published: January 2025

La anemia ferropénica es una de las anemias más comunes en el mundo, suele estar asociada con deficiencias nutricionales y pérdida crónica de hierro. Sin embargo, en esta investigación se examina cómo las infecciones parasitarias intestinales, como las causadas por helmintos, pueden contribuir a la disminución de los niveles de hierro y al desarrollo de anemia en pacientes adultos. El objetivo principal fue asociar la anemia ferropénica y parasitosis en adultos atendidos en el Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social de Jipijapa. Se ha empelado un estudio observacional, descriptivo-retrospectivo, de corte transversal, no experimental de riesgo mínimo con pacientes femeninos y masculino de 19 a 35 años de edad, seleccionados por medio de un método de muestreo no probabilístico. El principal resultado, en el presente estudio de 200 pacientes reflejó que la anemia ferropénica fue del 21.5%, indicando que uno de cada cinco adultos atendidos presentó esta condición, por otro lado 64% de los pacientes resultaron positivos para algún tipo de parásito, presentándose como el más común la Entamoeba histolytica. A manera de conclusión se ha evidenciado que no existe una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre ambas patologías; lo que sugiere que otros factores pueden estar contribuyendo de manera independiente a esta condición, más allá de las infecciones parasitarias.

Food bait preferences of house flies were evaluated using olfactometry bioassays. A single cage dual port glass olfactometer was used to assess preferences of house flies towards sugar, fish meal and molasses in no choice and choice bioassays. Flies were allowed into olfactometer individually, observed for five minutes. Time spent in bait port and decision chamber, number of entries into test/control port and port selected five minutes post-exposure were recorded. In the second study in a four arm acrylic olfactometer, three food baits viz., high fish meal low molasses cake, low fish meal high molasses cake and mango essence were tested In the glass olfactometer, flies showed positive response towards food baits compared to control in no choice bioassay. In choice bioassay, flies preferred fish meal than both sugar and molasses and molasses was preferred over sugar. In four arm acrylic olfactometer bioassay, 43.87, 30.96 and 25.16 per cent flies were attracted to high fish meal low molasses cake, low fish meal high molasses cake and mango essence, respectively. Results revealed that molasses and fish meal based baits can be used in housefly traps. Olfactometry bioassays were found effective in bait preference studies of house flies.

Reducing crude protein (CP) level in the feed without altering the amino acid contents by supplementing synthetic amino acids to reduce nitrogen excretion, adding ofexogenous protease enzyme infeed to improve nitrogen utilization and treating litter with the culture ofMethylomonas methanica (MM) to prevent methane emission from litter are the proven methods in commercial poultry production, especially in broiler farming to protect the environment. However, the efficacy of these nitrogen emission reduction strategies on the performance and economics of guinea fowl in intensive production has not been studied adequately. Therefore, a biological experiment was conducted with high protein (HP) diets with (Tl) or without (T2) fish meal (FM) and low protein (LP) diets added with exogenous protease enzyme with (T3) or without (T4) FM. The levels of critical amino acids in all the feed were balanced with the supplementation of synthetic amino acids. These treatments contained six replicates of each with 15-day-old keets. At the start of ninth week, the litter of three replicates from each treatment was sprayed with MM culture additionally, forming four more treatment groups, from T5 to T8 respectively. The results of the study indicated that replacing FM with plant protein sources did not affect body weight. The overall trend revealed that the reduction of CP by 2% had a negative (P<0.05) impact on body weight; while, the addition of protease in feed had no notable effect. The feed consumption was not affected by the withdrawal of FM or reducing CP level by 2% ordietary protease supplementation or MM litter treatment. The feed efficiency was negatively impacted (P<0.05) by withdrawal ofFMin high and low protein diets; -while, feed efficiency -was not improved by protease supplementation in LP diets. The level of CP or -withdrawal FM or protease enzyme supplementation in the ration did not affect livability. The MM litter treatment did not affect gro-wth rate, feed consumption, feed efficiency and livability of guinea fowls. The results indicated that the benefit-cost ratio could be improved in guinea fowls by using low CP feed.

Comparative Study of Sediment Properties between Nypa Fruticans-Dominated and Rhizophora-Dominated Forests in Iko Creek
Authors: U. U. Robert , Akpan Ubong E.
Published: January 2025

This study provides a comparative analysis of sediment properties and ecological impacts in Nypa fruticans and Rhizophora racemosa-dominated mangrove ecosystems within the Iko River estuary, Nigeria. Nypa fruticans, initially introduced to combat erosion, has spread extensively, often displacing the native Rhizophora racemosa and forming stands that alter local sediment properties. The study assessed parameters including pH (6.06–8.05), dissolved oxygen (DO; 2.5–4.7 mg/L), salinity (22–30 ppt), organic carbon (0.43–2.81 mg/kg), and organic matter (5.79–7.41%), revealing significant differences (p < 0.05) between the two vegetation types. Rhizophora-dominated sites showed higher organic carbon and DO levels, supporting better nutrient cycling and water quality, while Nypa-dominated sites exhibited elevated silicate levels and lower electrical conductivity, indicating possible change in the sediment profile which may impacts the habitat suitability and nutrient availability for native species. The findings highlight a critical research gap in understanding the long-term ecological effects of Nypa fruticans invasion on sediment chemistry and biodiversity, particularly heavy metal accumulation and microbial dynamics in sediment profiles. This study contributes to existing knowledge by providing baseline data on sediment properties and identifying key areas for further investigation, including microbial interactions and heavy metal bioaccumulation in invaded mangrove systems. The insights gained underscore the need for conservation and targeted management strategies to preserve Rhizophora racemosa habitats, which play a crucial role in sustaining biodiversity and enhancing ecosystem resilience against climate change.

Authors: El-Hadidy Gamal Saad. , Boriy Esmail G.
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of two medicinal plants, ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale) and cinnamon bark (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), on reducing blood sugar, triglycerides, cholesterol, and LDL-cholesterol levels. The analysis of the phenolic compounds in these plants revealed that both ginger rhizome and cinnamon bark are rich in antioxidants, containing high levels of hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic phenolic acids, such as cinnamic acids. The study found that ginger rhizome and cinnamon bark could be added at concentrations of 1% and 2%, respectively, to a basal diet. Diabetic rats were fed a diabetic diet for 5 weeks, with the normal control (G1) receiving the basal diet. The results showed that the addition of ginger rhizome and cinnamon bark to the diabetic diet significantly reduced serum glucose and improved the lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol). Furthermore, HDL cholesterol levels increased in all treatment groups, while LDL- cholesterol levels significantly decreased compared to the positive control.

Authors: B Moly , S Sheela
Published: January 2025

Accumulation of Arsenic, Cd, Cu, Pb and Hg in water, gills, liver and muscles of fish Liza parsia were analyzed from the four different sites along the Kayamkulam Backwater. The results showed that the highest concentration of as was found in liver tissues followed by gills. Gill tissues of the fish had a higher accumulation of Cu followed by liver and muscles. Higher accumulation of cadmium was observed in gills followed by liver tissue. Pb accumulation was found to be higher in liver as well as in gills followed by muscles. Accumulations of heavy metals in fish organs showed a seasonal fluctuation. The concentration of the detected metals was highest during warmer months, while the lowest values were observed during colder months. The organ specific comparison of heavy metals level indicated that the highest concentration was found in liver tissues. The lowest concentration was detected in muscle because muscle is not an active tissue in the accumulation of heavy metals. Pearson correlation matrix analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between the accumulation of heavy metals in water and tissues of the fish sample.
Investigating Equity and Social Justice within Programs: A Framework of Evaluative Criteria
Authors: Teasdale Rebecca , Avent Cherie
Published: January 2025

Background: Evaluators have a professional and ethical responsibility to contribute to the “advancement of an equitable and just society.” A rich body of scholarship provides guidance about how evaluators can do so through social justice–oriented and decolonizing evaluation approaches, culturally responsive methods, attending to power and privilege in program and evaluation contexts, and partnering with communities. In this article, we provide guidance for examining how the program being evaluated attends to issues of equity and social justice.
Purpose: We present a framework for investigating equity and social justice within programs through the criteria that evaluations pursue. The framework is offered as a map of possibilities and a thinking tool to help evaluators surface, examine, and negotiate varying values and design evaluative lines of inquiry to address them.
Setting: We write as evaluation faculty in colleges of education. We approached the framework through the lens of our shared commitment to advancing equity and social justice in evaluation practice. We aimed to bring together our differing areas of expertise and lived experiences to develop a resource to support evaluators in advancing equity and social justice.
Data Collection and Analysis: Our work builds on a previously published model of criteria domains. Each domain reflects a broad category of program characteristics or results that can be deemed important or desirable for a given program and context. Here, we refine and expand the model by applying an equity and social justice lens to 11 different criteria domains. We draw on the social justice–oriented evaluation literature for guidance and examples about how evaluators can advance equity and social justice within each domain and associated lines of inquiry.
Findings: The framework outlines 11 criteria domains in which a program’s contribution to equity and social justice might be examined. We describe each domain and apply it to an example evaluation to illustrate. We conclude by discussing the use of the framework to advance equity and social justice through evaluation practice, education, and scholarship.

Published: January 2025

En la población adulta mayor, los hábitos alimentarios inadecuados y la inactividad física son factores clave en la morbimortalidad por enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, así como en la predisposición a infecciones y fragilidad asociadas al envejecimiento. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el estado nutricional de los adultos mayores mediante una valoración clínica nutricional para la detección e intervención de enfermedades crónicas en el primer nivel de atención. La metodología incluyó el uso de instrumentos para medir el estado nutricional (MNA), parámetros antropométricos y bioquímicos, actividad física (GPAQ) y hábitos alimentarios en un estudio observacional, transversal y correlacional. Los resultados mostraron que el 74.1% de la población tenía un estado nutricional normal, 25.9% estaba en riesgo de malnutrición, y no se observó malnutrición. No hubo modificaciones significativas en los hábitos alimentarios ni en la pérdida de peso, y la mayoría no presentó enfermedades agudas, neurológicas o cutáneas. La circunferencia de cadera se asoció con niveles elevados de colesterol. La actividad física varió según el estado nutricional, observándose que aquellos con estado nutricional normal realizaron en promedio 30 minutos diarios de actividad física moderada, como caminar o andar en bicicleta, sin riesgo de malnutrición. En cuanto a los hábitos alimentarios, los adultos mayores reportaron una baja ingesta de proteínas, frutas y verduras, y un consumo moderado de sal, azúcar y grasas saturadas, además de un consumo frecuente de bebidas carbonatadas y pan, lo que sugiere una dieta inadecuada en términos generales.

Published: January 2025

El Dengue severo con shock hipovolémico constituye uno de los mayores desafíos en la atención de pacientes críticos debido a su alta tasa de complicaciones y mortalidad. Su presentación se caracteriza por extravasación capilar, hipovolemia y alteraciones de la coagulación, que pueden precipitar un deterioro hemodinámico brusco. El reconocimiento temprano de signos de alarma —como hipotensión, taquicardia persistente, llenado capilar lento, hematocrito elevado y trombocitopenia— resulta crucial para instaurar intervenciones oportunas. La monitorización intensiva se basa en la medición continua de la presión arterial, la oximetría de pulso y la evaluación regular de signos de hipoperfusión, apoyada por métodos invasivos como la línea arterial y el catéter venoso central cuando los recursos lo permiten. La reposición de fluidos es el pilar inicial del tratamiento y debe personalizarse cuidadosamente, vigilando la evolución clínica, la diuresis y parámetros de laboratorio para evitar hipovolemia residual o sobrecarga de líquidos. En situaciones de respuesta inadecuada a la expansión volumétrica, el empleo de vasopresores, particularmente norepinefrina, resulta indispensable para mantener la perfusión tisular adecuada y prevenir el fallo multiorgánico. La corrección de coagulopatías es igualmente prioritaria, requiriendo un uso racional de hemoderivados en función de la presencia o el riesgo de hemorragias. Por otra parte, el soporte ventilatorio se implementa en casos de insuficiencia respiratoria o deterioro del estado neurológico. El abordaje multidisciplinario, que integra a intensivistas, infectólogos y personal de enfermería, refuerza la vigilancia continua y la aplicación uniforme de protocolos. Con esta estrategia coordinada, es posible mejorar los desenlaces clínicos y disminuir la morbimortalidad asociada al Dengue severo con shock hipovolémico.

The findings indicate that there is significant interaction among followers regarding the uploaded content. The analysis of the reels content, specifically concerning the language used in the comments, suggests that followers express positive and supportive verbal expressions, while also employing emojis and symbols as forms of non-verbal expression. This research concludes with two key points: (1) the existence of interactions among followers of @dinkeskota.bdg; and (2) the presence of verbal language manifested in follower responses and non-verbal language represented by symbols such as likes or loves on the viewed reels content. Although the interaction in the form of comments from viewers remains limited, this presents an opportunity for the Bandung City Health Office to continue innovating in content development and to leverage various new features on Instagram. Furthermore, collaboration with health influencers could serve as a beneficial strategy to reach a broader audience.

Authors: Hinz Verlani Timm , Palazzo Luiz Antônio Moro
Published: January 2025

A colaboração baseada em ontologias é um tema interessante, pois permite modelar o conhecimento dos agentes permitindo a interação e troca de informações. Este artigo tem por objetivo mostrar a aplicação dos mecanismos de interoperabilidade existentes atualmente, aplicados na modelagem dos agentes colaborativos através de ontologias. A aplicação dos mecanismos sobre a ontologia do ambiente e as dos agentes pode produzir um ambiente dinâmico propício à colaboração. São abordados os principais mecanismos de interoperabilidade: combinação, integração, alinhamento e mapeamento e sua aplicação em sistemas colaborativos.

Prévention du syndrome post-soins intensifs (PICS)
Authors: Adriaenssens Jef , Maertens de Noordhout Charline , Kohn Laurence , Castanares-Zapatero Diego
Published: January 2025

Le syndrome post-soins intensifs est une entité relativement récente qui suscite de plus en plus l’attention des médecins. Il peut se manifester – chez jusque 40 % des patients qui ont fait un séjour prolongé en unité de soins intensifs ¬– par une faiblesse musculaire intense et persistante, des troubles cognitifs (de la mémoire, de l’attention, etc.) ou des problèmes psychologiques (angoisse, dépression, stress post-traumatique). Certaines mesures de prévention de ce syndrome sont décrites dans la littérature scientifique. Elles impliquent parfois des remises en question fondamentales des pratiques et habitudes au sein des unités de soins intensifs. Mais elles requièrent surtout du renfort en personnel. Le Centre fédéral d’Expertise des Soins de Santé (KCE) a passé en revue ces mesures pour ne retenir que celles qui ont vraiment fait leurs preuves.

„Zum ewigen Frieden“ nach Immanuel Kant oder gemäß aktueller Vernunft: Zum Ausgleich der Interessen globaler Macht
Authors: Albrecht Peter-Alexis
Published: January 2025

Immanuel Kant's birthday was 300 years ago recently. His essay 'On Perpetual Peace' (Reclam 2014) can be understood as a frame of reference and an early wise warning against (currently misguided) globalisation, which he mockingly referred to as 'world citizenship' (in a natural state), but without any hope of its 'legal state'. If we want to follow Kant, today's geopolitical perspective would have to search for 'federative associations' in order to secure world peace.
LEAN PRESENTATION
Authors: Daiser Peter
Published: January 2025

Manche Präsentationen sind großartig – die meisten jedoch leider einfallslos, langweilig und ohne klare Message. Obwohl sie mit großem Aufwand erstellt wurden, verfehlen sie die gewünschte Wirkung und verschwinden sang- und klanglos – als ob es sie nie gegeben hätte.. Warum ist das so? Was macht eine wirklich gute Präsentation aus? Und wie machen wir es besser? Antworten darauf liefert Daisers neues Buch. Der Professor und Berater räumt mit dem Irrglauben auf, dass Präsentationen vollständige Informationsunterlagen sein müssen und nur wunderschön gestylte Folien enthalten dürfen, die Emotionen transportieren. Er beschreitet einen anderen Weg. Mit seiner einfachen, systematischen und praxiserprobten Vorgehensweise lassen sich zügig inhaltlich und visuell überzeugende Präsentationen gestalten – selbst zu komplexen Sachverhalten. In diesem Playbook steckt das geballte Erfahrungswissen für schlanke Präsentationen, die begeistern.
Reset

Published: January 2025

Wann kommt die Zukunft? Sie ist da! Trends wie die digitale Transformation, Nachhaltigkeit und der demografische Wandel sind seit mehr als zehn Jahren bekannt. Doch jetzt sind sie Realität. Jeder einzelne Trend wäre bereits eine Revolution in sich. Doch die drei Treiber verstärken sich gegenseitig: Aus dem Wandel wird der Turbowandel. Bis zum Ende des Jahrzehnts entsteht eine vollkommen neue Wirtschaft. Alles kommt auf den Prüfstand: Produkte, Geschäftsmodelle, Lieferketten, Marketing und Vertrieb, Produktion und Logistik. Ganze Branchen werden radikal durchgeschüttelt. Am Ende wird kein Stein mehr auf dem anderen geblieben sein. Wie können Unternehmen, Verbände, Organisationen und die Gesellschaft diesen radikalen Wandel erfolgreich bewältigen? Durch eine hocheffektive Denk- und Managementtechnik: Den Reset. Setzen Sie alles immer wieder auf null! So, wie Sie einen Computer neu starten, wenn er langsamer reagiert. Durch einen Reset können aus Unternehmen, die lange Zeit als träge und behäbig galten, Verwandlungskünstler werden. Teams werden agiler und kreativer. Und Sie selbst können sich genauso schnell verändern wie die Märkte um Sie herum. In seinem neuen Buch beschreibt Erfolgsautor Dr. Jens-Uwe Meyer (»Digitale Gewinner«, »Radikale Innovation«, »Digitale Disruption«), wie Teams, Organisationen und Unternehmen bislang unlösbare Konflikte durch einen Reset bewältigen können. Sein Versprechen: Durch einen regelmäßigen Reset werden Sie, Ihr Team und Ihr Unternehmen zu den Gewinnern des Turbowandels gehören.
