Published: May 2023

The scientific and technological research that involves human beings require for their approval and implementation of an ethical analysis that interrogates about the goodness, correction or desirability of its implementation. In Argentina, ethical evaluations are carried out by the so -called "Ethics Committees in Research", spaces mostly formed by experts and experts from various thematic areas, with little or no participation of the communities involved that are recipients of research . With this ethical evaluation methodology, the National Genomic Biobanco Reference Program of the Argentine Population (Popular) was launched in recent years, whose goal is to obtain genomic, phenotypic and lifestyles of life from different communities of the territory of the territory of the territory Argentine to offer personalized diagnoses and treatments. The main objective of this work is to make a criticism of the ethical foundation of the popular, at the same time exhibiting the limitations of the paradigm of ethics in hegemonic research that is at the basis of all institutionalized ethical evaluations. To do this, we will resort to two alternative ethical paradigms of different origin and with various budgets: responsible research and innovation and Latin American critical ethics. With their differences, both perspectives allow to glimpse that the popular suffers from an adequate ethical foundation and that, therefore, was promoted and executed under morally problematic conditions.
Role of representations associated with political ideology in complex decision making
Authors: Lucente Giulietta , Vera Stefan Efraín , Fernández Larrosa Pablo Nicolás
Published: May 2023

From the theoretical framework of political psychology, political ideology (IP) is conceptualized as a system of representations of the world, aligning the subject to his personal perspective of the desired social order and how to get to him. The IP consists of two levels: collective and individual. The first is located as a group symbolic framework to identify the positions of the people of each social group. Regarding the second level, it allows to simplify the political content generating a mediation between the subject and a cognitively complex decision. Here we propose to evaluate the role of the IP as a cognitive shortcut for complex decision making (TDC), as is the choice of a political representative. During the 2023 presidential election period in Argentina, experiments will be carried out in which the symbolic and operational dimensions of the IP will be evaluated in a federal population. The symbolic dimension is individual and accounts for the self -perception of the subject within the political spectrum; while the operation is the positioning of the subjects against specific situational topics. In the first instance, the population will be characterized based on the scales of conservatism and progressivism, according to the scale of political ideology (Brussino, et. Al, 2021). The political climate and economic perception associated with the cultural dimensions expressed by Nekane, Paez and Cols will be controlled. (2002). In a second phase, the degree of agreement of people on different claims relevant to the current political climate will be evaluated, without associating with any candidate or political force; Then, associated with one in particular, and finally, to the main political opponent. The experiment proposes to demonstrate the relationship of the IP with the strength of the representations generated during a political decision and its flexible change of change.
Digital agricultures as a dispute space: towards new agronomic imaginations in the global south
Authors: Carrozza Tomás Javier
Published: May 2023

In recent years, digital agricultures (AD) have taken a central role in discussions about food productive models. Thus, a mutation is attended in the way of understanding agri -food systems and agronomy, as a disciplinary field, is increasingly conceptualized as a space of "technological management."
In this way, technological intermediations are increasingly relevant and attends an increasingly profound "box" between each of the stages in which food is produced.
In a context of deepening of extractive logic in agriculture, AD placed in front of a second extraction process, that associated with data and crop management by generating standardized processes for agricultural production. Faced with this context, the processes of appropriation of speeches and knowledge by the hegemonic actors of the agri -food sector are increasingly strong.
However, from the Global South a space of dispute and dialogue that seeks to rethink ad senses as emancipation and technological sovereignty begins to be constituted.
In this scenario, the objective of this work is to analyze the characteristics of those experiences that propose to build an ad "alternative" and how these translate into the context of epistemic and ontological discussions about agronomy. In this way, AD and their reappropriation can become a space for disciplinary transformation that would lead to Imagine the processes of knowledge mobilization and decolonization of productive systems.

Published: May 2023

In a context of popularization and boom of the use and research of psychedelic therapies worldwide, the therapeutic use of psilocibious fungi has gained massiveness. Its two main modalities, macrodosis (occasional use of sufficient doses to produce deep perceptual, physiological and psychological effects) and microdosis (use of dose low enough to allow the development of the person in daily activities) are in development, both both in traditional biomedical research such as practices by cultivators, useful networks and organizations linked to health that use or accompany these therapeutics. These developments have shown promising results in the treatment of pathologies mainly linked to mental health. In the present work, we inquire about the therapeutic experiences with microdosis of psilocibious fungi in a group of people who performed, during the year 2022, this therapy in a context of self -arrangement or in accompaniment of alternative health organizations in Argentina. To do this, we conducted an anonymous survey in which the motivations, forms of administration, and perception of benefits and difficulties of therapy were inquired. The survey results indicate that the survey uses use multiple strategies to access, manage and transit therapy, finding relief for medical pathologies for which they approach it, but also improvements in their productivity and benefits linked to non -diagnosed discomforts or to your quality of life in general. This research is the first qualitative systematic registration of therapeutic experiences of users with psilocibious fungi in Argentina and a contribution to value these health practices that work and are made in constant tension with the hegemonic biomedical system and its logics.

Published: May 2023

Determining the portion obscured by clouds in the night sky recorded in an image from a meteor monitoring station can be useful to help in the discussion and analysis of studies in this area. Thereby, this work presents a proposal to quantitatively measure the proportion of the night sky covered by clouds from images of meteor records. The images used are from EXOSS database, particularly from the UVP1 and UVP2 stations. Two approaches were elaborated: the first one computes the proportion of pixels in clouds over the total number of pixels, the second approach calculates another percentage value by using image processing techniques and applying an equalization method. An application was created to perform the calculations in an automated way. The program displays an enhanced image and the two calculated percentages and can be used for specialists as a tool to guide their choice of coverage values. The results showed that the second approach proves to be better for “many” and “few” clouds; furthermore, the first approach proves to be better in low cloud density images.

Published: May 2023

Natural pesticides derived from plant-based substances are effective alternative to conventional pesticides. A study was conducted on the biopesticide chemicals extracted from powdered. P. amboinicus leaves using different solvents and their effectiveness against cowpea beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus. In this study, leaf powders of P. amboinicus were extracted with various solvents and tested qualitatively and quantitatively for phytochemical constituents using GC-MS. The highest concentrations of terpenoids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and steroids were found in petroleum benzine and ethanolic extracts. This insecticidal effect is attributed in part to the presence of secondary metabolites identified in the extracts. These petroleum benzine extracts of P. amboinicus also contained biopesticides such as thymol, beta caryophyllene, farnesol, phytol, Codlelure, (Z)-11-Hexadecenal, Erucic acid, and squalene. A higher repellency (44.8±0.8%) was achieved at a higher concentration (50 mg/ml) of petroleum benzene extract of P. amboinicus after 360 minutes of treatment followed by ethanol extract (40.8±1.49%) and, benzene (37.6±0.97%), chloroform (36.8±0.8%) and water extract (34.4±0.97%). We measured the levels of toxicity after 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours of exposure. After 72 hours, Petroleum benzene caused the highest level of toxicity (LD50 = 20.89 mg/ml) of Callosobruchus maculatus, followed by ethanol (LD50=28.18 mg/ml), water (LD50 = 32.35 mg/ml), chloroform (LD50 = 40.73mg/ml and Benzene (LD50 = 46.77mg/ml). Based on our results, we suggest P. amboinicus phytocompounds are helpful in protecting stored grains from Callosobruchus maculatus.

Published: May 2023

Desert plants are considered as a rich source of secondary metabolites and are used in drug development. The main objective of the current investigation was to explore the secondary metabolite profile of some desert plants and also compare the efficiency of different solvents. Plants [Psidium guajava L., Thuja orientalis L., Callistemon citrinus (Curtis) Skeels, Capparis spinosa L. and Dipterygium glaucum Decne.] were collected from the Cholistan desert of Bahawalpur based on the traditional knowledge. Five types of extracts (petroleum ether extract, benzene extract, chloroform extract, ethanol extract and methanol extract) were prepared for both fresh and dry plant materials. The methanol extract showed the highest efficiency to detect the secondary metabolites as compared to that of all other extracts. Qualitative phytochemical analysis of these plants confirmed the presence of various important secondary metabolites, viz. phlobatannins, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, quinones, anthocyanins, saponins, phenols, phytosterols and tannins in different parts (leaf, fruit, seed and whole plant). These results clearly show that potential bioactive compounds can be effectively extracted from important medicinal plants which could be potentially utilized by pharmaceutical industries.

Authors: Oyeyemi Adeyemi  , Olalekan Adeyemi
Published: May 2023

The effect of spent engine oil-contaminated soil on morphological and biochemical properties of Zea mays (maize) was investigated. Thirty polythene pots with drainage holes at the bottom, each containing 10 kg of surface soil, were randomly placed on a table in the greenhouse in a factorial combination of five treatment levels (5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml) of spent engine oil and additional three variants of each with pH adjustment to 5.5, 7 and 8.5 and were designated S0 for Control, S5 for soil containing 5 ml engine oil with no pH adjustment and S5A, S5B and S5C for pH adjustment to 5.5, 7.0 and 8.5 respectively. Three seeds of maize per pot were planted. Growth parameters (plant height, stem girth, relative water content (RWC), selected leaf properties (chlorophyll content (SPAD value) and soluble protein content (SPC)) and antioxidant indices were determined in the corn over a period of eight weeks after planting (WAP). The maize planted in contaminated soil with pH adjustment recorded significantly higher height than their corresponding contaminated soil without pH adjustment (p<0.05). The girth of plant decreased with increased concentration of contaminant (spent engine oil). SPC of Control (S0) is significantly higher (p<0.05) than any of the maize planted in soil contaminated with spent engine oil. Generally, activities of antioxidant enzymes of Control were significantly lower (p<0.05) than those of maize planted in soil contaminated with spent engine oil. It could be inferred that spent engine oil in soil hindered the growth and development of maize, it created artificial water deficit to cellular system of maize and induced a condition of oxidative stress. However, maize planted in soil amended to pH 5.5 recorded favourable biochemical indices.

DOES INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARD NARROWS AUDIT EXPECTATION GAP?
Authors: Dauda Musa Ibrahim , Dauda Ibrahim Adagye
Published: May 2023

The many arguments advanced by scholars as to International Financial Reporting Standard’s capacity to enhance audit procedures and outcomes underscores this research’s quest for determining whether International Financial Reporting Standard could help with the perceptional dilemma that triggered the long lingering Audit expectation gap crisis. To this end, this study assays stakeholders’ perception as to whether the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard could have certain narrowing impact on Audit expectation gap. The study adopted a mixed research design (i.e. exploratory and survey designs) by which structured questionnaires were administered to a purposeful randomly selected sample of 400 respondents drawn from audit practitioners, academics, accounting standards issuers, and members of professional accounting bodies within the North Central States of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory to collect data which were analyzed using multiple regression with the help of STATA 13 software. Result of the analysis revealed that both International Financial Reporting Standard induced quality financial report and complexity of audit work could narrow audit performance expectation gap in a significant positive manner, while International Financial Reporting Standard’s induced audit quality was negative in narrowing the expectation gap. We recommend however, that even with the significant result leading to rejection of the null hypotheses, standard setters should look at ways to draw up standards that will harmonize accounting standards and auditing standards in a way that clearly spell out how every category of reportable transactions should be reviewed and reported so as to improve the quality of what auditors deliver to the public.

A company is usually faced with the challenge of financing investments; the management is to decide on the optimal mix of capital structure decision. This study sets to investigate the influence that capital structure of a firm has on financial performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria for period spanning from 2017-2021. The dependent variable of the study is financial performance proxy by return on asset (ROA) while the independent variable of the study is capital structure proxy by long-term debt, short term debt, total debt ratio and total equity ratio. The population of the study consist of all the 5 listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria and the sampling technique was the census arriving at a 25 firm year observations. The multiple regressions was employed for the data analysis and the study revealed that long-term debt ratio has a negative insignificant relationship with return on asset while short-term debt, total debt ratio and total equity ratio have positive significant influence on return on asset. The study recommends that the management of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria should pay attention in curtailing long-term debt and improving on short term debts in order to improve financial performance.

This paper explores more than 10-year continuous measurements of energy, water and carbon dioxide fluxes on a first-established eddy covariance site in Vietnam above a mature semi-evergreen tropical seasonal forest. Daily, seasonal and interannual variations of turbulent fluxes and meteorological parameters were studied. Evapotranspiration decreased in the second half of a dry season and net ecosystem exchange of CO2 increased to positive values (the tropical forest becomes a source of CO2 instead of a sink) in a hot-dry period of a year (March-May). Net radiation was the parameter with minor interannual and seasonal variation. Precipitation varied significantly from year to year and the variation was great between dry seasons. Variations of precipitation affected the annual rate of evapotranspiration but had no proven effect on the annual net ecosystem exchange of CO2. The ecosystem of tropical forest was the considerable net sink of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Video feedback (VF) is a useful learning technique in acquiring public speaking skills due to its capacity to retain both verbal and non-verbal elements of multimodal communication. Previous research has focused on video self-critique, peer VF, online feedback, or one-on-one VF in the first language (L1) context and has yielded varied results regarding the impact of VF on public speaking competence and anxiety. Therefore, this quasi-experimental classroom-based study compared the impact of the one-on-one VF and in-class VF on public speaking competency and anxiety of learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Three intact university-level English classes in China (n = 74) were assigned to the three conditions (in-class VF, one-on-one VF, and verbal feedback). Data on students’ speaking competence were validated using many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM). Subsequent gain score analysis and ANCOVA showed that in-class VF significantly improved students’ delivery skill and global competence and reduced their speaking anxiety compared with the verbal feedback group. It is proposed that in-class VF be employed as an instructional procedure to help EFL learners improve their public speaking skills and reduce their public speaking anxiety, particularly in the teaching context of a large class size together with comparatively limited logistic and teaching resources.

Obesity is a risk factor for hyperglycemia. Farmers are a group of people at risk of obesity and hyperglycemia due to a lifestyle that consumes foods high in fat and carbohydrates. The aim of this study wants to analyze the relationship between body mass index and blood sugar levels of farmers in the report of Integrated Development Post of Non-Communicable Disease (Posbindu PTM) Pakusari Jember Health Center. The survey analysis study used a retrospective cohort study. A design was used to analyze secondary data of Posbindu PTM Pakusari Jember Health Center registered from January to October 2020 among 345 farmers. A population of 345 farmers was selected by purposive sampling to be used as research samples. Characteristics of participants, height and weight, and random blood sugar levels were measured through a health monitoring book (KMS Posbindu PTM). The chi-Square test was used to answer the objective of the study. Among 146 farmers identified that 46.6% were obese and 45.9% were hyperglycemia. There was a relationship between body mass index and blood sugar levels in farmers (p-value = 0.000). Indirectly, body mass index affects blood sugar levels, manifesting as diabetes mellitus and other complications. Therefore, obesity should be identified as a risk factor associated with farmers' blood sugar levels.

This study aims to explain and reveal verses related to Extremism (ghuluw) in religion and its consequences from the perspective of Tafsir Al-Qur'anul Majid An-Nur by M. Hasbi Ash-Shiddieqy. This study used a qualitative approach using content analysis methods. Ghuluw is an attitude of extremism in religion. Phenomena that often occur in social life. The ghuluw attitude is not liked by Allah SWT. Because it has exceeded the limit that has been determined by Allah through Islamic religious shari'ah. In the Al-Qur'an there are two words ghuluw in the form of a command verb (fi'il amr) which indicates a prohibition (nahyi) in Q.S An-Nisa verse 171 and Al-Midah 77, which aims His people to avoid bad attitudes rebuked by Allah SWT. This study concludes that ghuluw is an attitude that prioritizes passions and overrides reason. Whereas ghuluw in religion means a careless attitude that tends to be excessive in religion falsely. This attitude is not prescribed and is not justified in religion. This attitude has very dangerous consequences, including the cause of disbelief and being kept away from the grace of Allah SWT.

The History of Islamic Culture is a very important lesson for students to learn because it is one part of Islamic Religious Education subjects which is directed at preparing students to know, understand, live the History of Islamic Culture, which then becomes the basis of their way of life through guidance activities. , teaching, training, use of experience and habituation. SKI Madrasah Tsanawiyah subjects include: History of the Umayyad, Abbasid and al-Ayubiyah dynasties. Another thing that is very basic lies in the ability to explore values, meanings, axioms, compassion/wisdom, propositions and theories from existing historical facts. In the subject of Islamic Cultural History, in reality, students are less interested. The research location was at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Darul Ilmi Batang Quiz related to the learning process, obstacles and solutions to learning obstacles of Islamic Cultural History. The method we use is a descriptive qualitative method. The objects we examined were students and teachers at the school. From the results of the research that we obtained, the implementation of SKI learning had gone well according to the contents of the lesson plan made by the SKI teacher. However, there were several obstacles that occurred during the ski learning process, namely other class students were in class when learning was taking place, students were busy, students were drawing during learning, students did not bring packages or modules, students were eating and drinking while learning was taking place, and so forth. In addition, the teacher's efforts in these obstacles are by reprimanding him and asking the student to enter the class, remaining calm and giving the task to the student, admonishing and returning their attention to the lesson by ordering them to read, by asking the reason students don't bring packages or module when students do not bring the module (package), and several other solutions.
