Authors: Hidalgo Cajo Fredy Roberto , Matza Aldas Brenda Tatiana , Balseca Quinllin Jorge Andrés , Lucero Atupaña Joel Alexander
Published: February 2025

La presente investigación está orientada en identificar la vulnerabilidad en derechos a los que se ven expuestos niños, niñas y adolescentes, cuando se aplica la ley indígena. Tiene como objetivo de analizar la coexistencia entre la normativa ordinaria y esta ley. Permitiendo a su vez identificar los derechos que se vulneran dentro de esta. Metodológicamente, el presente estudio, aplicó un método documental, con una revisión aplicada de estudios preexistentes, normativa y reglamentos nacionales e internacionales. Se revisaron 18 documentos que permitieron sustentar este trabajo investigativo y se aplicó una investigación descriptiva. No se encontraron estudios que manejen porcentajes a nivel nacional o por sectores que indiquen o señalen como la ley indígena afecta en los menores. En el caso de presentarse en comunidades, los infantes y adolescentes mantendrán mayor vulnerabilidad de la que actualmente mantienen, al analizar sus derechos integrales, se encontró que apenas uno de diez niños mantiene su integridad y aplicabilidad. Los demás mantienen limitaciones al acceso de estos. Se evidencia que aún no se ha establecido de forma general una ley donde se prescriban lineamientos sobre la aplicación de la ley indígena. Finalmente se concluye, que se debe fomentar estudios sobre la relación entre esta ley y la vulneración de derechos en infantes y adolescentes, así mismo, la necesidad de establecer políticas que permitan evaluar la implementación y aplicación de normativas y reglamentos que se encuentren vinculadas.

La justicia indígena es vital para la identidad cultural y lingüística de los pueblos indígenas pues es un factor involucrado directamente con la armonía social. A través de este estudio de revisión y descripción cualitativa, se ha determinado que a pesar de que la Constitución ecuatoriana reconoce la jurisdicción indígena, el pluralismo jurídico aún es un desafío que ha sido limitado y restringido, coartando el derecho a la autodeterminación y al ejercicio de los derechos específicos para los pueblos y nacionalidades. Casos como la Cocha en Ecuador y Sabino Romero en Venezuela, representan la hegemonía que persiste desde Occidente hacia las minorías étnicas. Es importante que la justicia se aplique en la lengua natural para que los principios comunitarios prevalezcan sin injerencias, debido a que la integridad de la identidad se puede ver afectada al tener que acceder a un sistema ordinario que carece de la cosmovisión andina, la cual representa a los miembros de las colectividades, pues la lengua es un elemento constitutivo de la identidad del respectivo pueblo. Además, se concluye que el Convenio N° 169 de la OIT establece como obligación al Estado recuperar y preservar las tradiciones nativas y respetar los derechos desde el Derecho Internacional.

Published: February 2025

La educación intercultural bilingüe (EIB) en Ecuador es esencial para preservar las lenguas y culturas indígenas en un contexto de diversidad cultural reconocida constitucionalmente. Sin embargo, enfrenta desafíos como la falta de recursos, la brecha digital y una escasa formación docente en enfoques interculturales. La inteligencia artificial (IA) surge como una herramienta innovadora con el potencial de transformar la EIB mediante la creación de materiales educativos en lenguas indígenas, plataformas adaptativas y tutorías personalizadas. Ejemplos internacionales, como los proyectos en México y Perú, muestran cómo la IA puede revitalizar lenguas indígenas e incorporar elementos culturales locales. Pese a estas oportunidades, los retos son significativos. La brecha digital limita el acceso a internet y dispositivos en comunidades rurales, mientras que la alfabetización tecnológica sigue siendo insuficiente entre docentes y estudiantes. Además, la IA presenta riesgos de homogenización cultural, ya que las tecnologías diseñadas desde perspectivas externas pueden excluir o distorsionar saberes ancestrales. Aspectos éticos como la privacidad de datos y la soberanía digital también emergen como preocupaciones clave. Para garantizar un impacto positivo, se requiere una estrategia participativa que involucre a las comunidades indígenas en el diseño y uso de la IA, junto con inversiones en infraestructura tecnológica, formación docente y políticas públicas sostenibles. La IA puede ser una aliada poderosa para promover una educación más inclusiva y equitativa en Ecuador.

Published: February 2025

La justicia indígena desempeña un papel fundamental en la preservación de las tradiciones ancestrales al proteger sus valores, creencias y prácticas tradicionales, pues este sistema jurisdiccional está basado en principios como el equilibrio, la reparación del daño y la armonía social, misma que se basa en normas consuetudinarias que reflejan la cosmovisión indígena, sin embargo, la justicia indígena fortalece su autonomía misma que está reconocida en el art. 171 de la Constitución de la Republica del Ecuador y en el Convenio 169 de la OIT, este sistema enfrenta desafíos, como el reconocimiento estatal limitado, perjuicios sociales y tensiones entre normas indígenas y estatales, pese a ello, su impacto positivo en la protección del tejido social destaca su relevancia como una herramienta para la sostenibilidad de las tradiciones ancestrales. Un enfoque de carácter critico busca analizar aspectos que garanticen la preservación de la identidad cultural, promover la justicia social y afrontar los retos y limitaciones de la actualidad, garantizando así un sistema más equitativo y justo.

Published: February 2025

El presente estudio abordó el tema sobre “Las mujeres indígenas como agentes de cambio dentro del pluralismo jurídico en Ecuador. Para ello, se trabajó bajo la metodología basada en el enfoque cualitativo, desde la revisión documental como técnica de investigación y el análisis del corpus sobre la estrategia del  inductivo del  Análisis Textual Discursivo (ATD) propuesto por Moraes y Galiazzi (2007). Los principales resultados evidenciaron que la mujer indígena mantiene tensiones con la mujer mestiza, en su lucha por generar igualdad de condiciones, por efecto de una realidad distinta trazada por la violencia y la pobreza. Además, que la mujer indígena confronta una lucha marcada por ser mujer y por ser indígena. En el ámbito del sistema de justicia, en gran parte de las comunidades ha tenido que confrontar los efectos de un sistema patriarcal que se ha perpetuado llevando a una justicia que no aplica para ellas. Se concluye, de este modo, que frente a esta condición ha generado en ellas un estado de empoderamiento que ha determinado un rol protagónico como agentes de cambio que dentro del pluralismo jurídico se ha hecho visible por su fuerte influencia en las dos últimas constituciones del país, lo que significa que ellas han sido clave en la visibilización de los derechos colectivos de las comunidades indígenas, pero que aún falta mucho por construir el ejercicio pleno de sus derechos como mujeres indígenas, donde ya han conformado un sistema de justicia propio, libre de los cánones de Occidente enmarcado en su cosmovisión.

Published: February 2025

La digitalización y la inteligencia artificial transformaron diversas áreas del conocimiento, incluidos los sistemas de justicia. Este análisis tuvo como objetivo comprender cómo la inteligencia artificial, a pesar de beneficios como el aumento de la eficiencia laboral, la facilitación del acceso a la justicia y la preservación de costumbres y tradiciones indígenas, enfrenta múltiples desafíos, entre ellos el uso y acceso limitado a la tecnología, la mala conectividad, entre otros. Para este estudio se revisaron libros, artículos y aspectos culturales, lo que permitió examinar si estas herramientas pueden beneficiar a las comunidades y de qué manera se podrían implementar aplicaciones que faciliten su uso, como la automatización de tareas legales, la predicción de resultados jurídicos y la garantía de que la atención legal sea comprensible para todos. En la presente investigación se lograron destacar varios beneficios posibles de un sistema moderno de justicia con ayuda de la inteligencia artificial como la conservación de las culturas y tradiciones de carácter ancestral, la IA tiene un gran potencial para cambiar el sistema legal, pero su implementación en un entorno indígena requiere un enfoque ético y culturalmente consciente que priorice la autonomía y los derechos colectivos de estas comunidades.

Published: February 2025

El estudio tuvo como objetivo diseñar e implementar un sistema de huerto hidropónico en el sector La Judith del cantón Quevedo (Ecuador), con el fin de mitigar la contaminación ambiental y promover la soberanía alimentaria. La investigación se basó en la técnica NFT (Nutrient Film Technique), que permite el cultivo de plantas sin suelo, utilizando soluciones nutritivas en agua. Este sistema demostró ser altamente eficiente en el uso de recursos, reduciendo el consumo de agua en un 90% en comparación con la agricultura tradicional y minimizando el uso de pesticidas, lo que contribuyó a la preservación del medio ambiente. Los resultados del proyecto mostraron que la implementación del huerto hidropónico no solo redujo la contaminación ambiental, sino que también mejoró la calidad de vida de los habitantes del sector. Los participantes pudieron producir hortalizas libres de pesticidas, lo que mejoró su seguridad alimentaria y les permitió generar ingresos adicionales a través de la venta de los excedentes de producción. Además, el proyecto fomentó la participación comunitaria y el trabajo en equipo, lo que fortaleció los lazos sociales y promovió prácticas agrícolas sostenibles. La hidroponía se presenta como una solución viable para enfrentar los desafíos de la producción de alimentos en áreas urbanas con limitaciones de espacio y recursos. Sin embargo, es fundamental continuar con las capacitaciones y el apoyo gubernamental para asegurar la sostenibilidad a largo plazo de estos proyectos.

Analysis of Factors Affecting the Digitalisation of UMKM in Using QRIS (Study on Culinary Businesses in Bandung City)
Authors: Rahlana Shidiq Azqar  , Irsyad Kamal
Published: February 2025

One of the factors contributing to Indonesia's low Global Digitalization Index score of 33.1 is the limited digitalization among UMKM, as reflected in the adoption of QRIS by these businesses. Although QRIS is perceived as useful, barriers such as perceived ease of use, perceived cost, and social influence from consumers and competitors significantly affect attitudes toward using and behavioural intentions to use QRIS. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing the digitalization of UMKM through QRIS by a quantitative causal approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The research utilised a purposive sampling technique, gathering data from 70 culinary business respondents in Bandung City. The findings indicate that social influence and perceived ease of use have a significant and positive influence on attitudes toward using QRIS, while perceived cost has a significant negative effect, and perceived usefulness shows no significant effect. Additionally, perceived ease of use and attitudes toward using QRIS significantly and positively influence behavioural intention to use it, whereas perceived cost, social influence, and perceived usefulness do not. Mediation analysis reveals varying effects: indirect-only mediation for perceived cost and social influence, no-effect non-mediation for perceived usefulness, and complementary mediation for perceived ease of use

Systematic Literature Review (SLR): Transparency And Accountability In Village Financial Management
Authors: Desak Nyoman Lia Lestari  , I Gusti Made Darma
Published: February 2025

Village financial management plays a crucial role in supporting sustainable development and enhancing community welfare. With the enactment of Law No. 6 of 2014, villages in Indonesia have been granted autonomy to manage their finances, including the allocation and utilization of Village Funds. However, the primary challenges remain the lack of transparency and accountability, which often result in budget mismanagement and diminished public trust. This study adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, analyzing seven relevant studies on transparency, accountability, and village financial management. The findings reveal that transparency in disclosing information regarding the allocation and expenditure of village funds fosters greater community participation and enhances public trust. Furthermore, accountability—defined as adherence to legal regulations and compliance with government accounting standards—emerges as a critical factor in maintaining legitimacy and sustaining public confidence. The integration of technology, such as the Village Financial Information System (Sistem Keuangan Desa or Siskeudes), significantly bolsters both transparency and accountability by streamlining financial processes and enabling real-time monitoring. Additionally, effective village financial management necessitates a synergistic approach, combining the technical precision of accounting practices with the participatory and inclusive nature of public administration. Community involvement is identified as a cornerstone of this system, ensuring a responsive and sustainable framework for financial oversight and governance. This research underscores the importance of aligning technical and social dimensions in village financial management to achieve governance that is both effective and sustainable

Authors: Syarofi Muhammad , Syam Nur
Published: February 2025

Many MSMEs in Indonesia continue to face challenges in understanding digital halal certification due to limited access to technology and digital infrastructure. To address this issue, effective technological education and online halal certification training are essential to help MSMEs fully utilize the certification process. This study aims to explore the opportunities and benefits of digital transformation in halal certification for MSMEs. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, the research focuses on MSMEs in Kraton Village, Kencong, Jember, that have obtained halal certification through a mobile application. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman method, which includes data reduction, conclusion drawing, and verification. The findings reveal a significant positive impact of digital technology—particularly mobile applications—on the halal certification process for MSMEs. The adoption of digital tools has significantly reduced administrative burdens by simplifying the certification application process, minimizing the need for physical documents, and streamlining bureaucratic procedures. These results indicate that digital technology enhances administrative efficiency, expands market opportunities, and improves access to halal certification. However, this study has limitations, including a narrow sample size and the lack of long-term analysis. Future research should expand the sample, investigate long-term effects, and assess the training and challenges faced by MSMEs in adopting digital halal certification.
Importancia de la atención farmacéutica en la formulación magistral como servicio profesional farmacéutico
Authors: Hidalgo Pérez Miren Edurne , Pacho Merino Leire
Published: February 2025

Introducción: La farmacia comunitaria debe garantizar un adecuado Servicio Profesional Farmacéutico de dispensación de fórmulas magistrales, donde se diferencian dos fases: la primera conlleva evaluar la prescripción, recogiendo los datos necesarios para garantizar seguridad y eficacia del preparado y seleccionar el excipiente adecuado. La segunda implica entregar el preparado con información oral y escrita para garantizar su correcta identificación, conservación y utilización. 
Objetivos: Analizar la recogida de datos necesarios cuando se recibe la prescripción de una fórmula y hasta qué punto se informa al paciente sobre su correcta conservación y utilización. Evaluar los resultados obtenidos, para determinar acciones correctivas y oportunidades de mejora en el proceso de dispensación del medicamento individualizado.
Método: Estudio observacional transversal mediante cuestionario de 10 items remitido al colectivo farmacéutico comunitario de Bizkaia para analizar actuaciones en las dos fases de la dispensación y solicitudes de fabricación a terceros.
Resultados: 91,9% pregunta para quién es el medicamento, 6,1% nunca pregunta por la afección y 12,4% nunca por la pauta. 91,4% entrega siempre prospecto y 5,2% nunca realiza refuerzo oral.
Conclusiones: La mayoría del colectivo farmacéutico vizcaíno realiza una buena práctica profesional en las dos fases de la dispensación de fórmulas, pero existe un gran margen de mejora, fundamentalmente en lo referente a información sobre la afección a tratar y su localización, así como en el refuerzo oral al entregar el medicamento. Las intervenciones formativas realizadas hasta ahora han mejorado la práctica profesional, pero sería necesario realizar nuevas actuaciones para optimizar la dispensación del medicamento individualizado.

Published: February 2025

Introducción: La farmacia comunitaria ayuda a mejorar la salud de la población y a prevenir la enfermedad mediante los servicios profesionales farmacéuticos asistenciales. La remuneración de estos servicios supone un reconocimiento a la labor del profesional sanitario y fomenta la mejora continua en la atención prestada. En la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco, las farmacias y el Gobierno Vasco llevan tiempo colaborando en diferentes programas retribuidos. El objetivo de este artículo es evaluar la prestación de los servicios remunerados de las farmacias vizcaínas entre 2011 y 2022.
Método: Estudio observacional retrospectivo en el que se han recogido y evaluado mediante Microsoft Excel los datos del número de farmacias participantes y los servicios remunerados prestados en la provincia de Bizkaia.
Resultados: El sistema personalizado de dosificación es el único servicio que muestra un aumento tanto en farmacias participantes como en el número de servicios durante el período estudiado. El programa de mantenimiento con metadona mantiene estable el número de farmacias participantes, pero disminuyen los pacientes atendidos. Ha bajado la demanda de la prueba rápida de VIH y sífilis, aunque no el número de farmacias que los ofertan. En el programa de intercambio de jeringuillas, se observa un descenso tanto del número de farmacias como de kits intercambiados.
Conclusiones: La remuneración de estos servicios no sólo sirve para reconocer la labor que realizan la profesión farmacéutica sobre la atención y el bienestar de los pacientes, también garantiza su continuidad y fomenta su participación.
Resolution of Fixed Flexion Contracture Following Kinematically Aligned Manual Total Knee Arthroplasty Without Raising the Joint Line
Authors: Grayson Whisper , Eikani Carlo , Brown Nicholas M
Published: February 2025

Background

Persistence of fixed flexion contracture (FFC) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common occurrence, resulting in poor postoperative outcomes. Soft tissue releases and distal femoral resection have been previously studied in attempts to address this issue. There is a scarcity of literature on the resolution of FFC following primary kinematically aligned (KA) manual TKA without raising the joint line. In this study, we evaluated post-operative range of motion (ROM) in patients with a preoperative FFC following primary KA TKA without raising the joint line.

Methods

Eighty-five patients with preoperative FFC who underwent a primary KA TKA without distal femoral resection by a single arthroplasty-trained surgeon were identified. Demographics and pre-operative range of motion were obtained. Primary outcomes included post-operative range of motion at 6-weeks and one-year. Secondary outcomes included infection, revision rates, manipulation under anesthesia, and wound complications.

Results

A total of 85 patients were included, with an average pre-operative extension of 5.5° (std dev, 2.2°). Of the 85 patients, 5 had a flexion deformity within 5° of full extension, with the other 80 patients having extension ≥5° to 20°. Post-operatively, 21.2% and 5.9% of patients had a flexion contracture at 6-weeks and one-year respectively. Average post-operative extension at 6-weeks was 1.5° (std dev, 4.1°) and 0.5° (std dev, 2.3°) at one-year.

Conclusion

In this study, we found improvement in flexion deformity at 6-weeks and 1-year following primary KA TKA without raising the joint line. There were two cases of manipulation under anesthesia for post-operative joint stiffness.

This pilot project aims to evaluate the oral health condition of Jharkhand's elderly tribal population, which is located in eastern India. There were 200 participants in this descriptive cross-sectional pilot research, 89 of whom were men and 111 of whom were women. The majority of the people in the study group were jobless. Periodontal health, dental cavities and the presence or absence of prostheses were evaluated. The study's findings indicated that older adults (those over 85) had a higher prevalence of periodontal diseases and a greater demand for prostheses. The DMF index revealed that those over 85 years old had a greater frequency of missing teeth and cavitation in the 75-85 age range. The prevalence of oral diseases is quite high among Jharkhand's tribal people. It is concerning that tobacco use is so common. Therefore, to enhance this population's oral health, sufficient education, motivation, and training in oral hygiene must be provided.

This study investigates the application of Oil Red O and Sudan stains in identifying and quantifying lipid accumulation in adipose tissue, specifically focusing on its relevance to obesity-related oral diseases. Adipose tissue samples were collected from 50 obese patients (BMI > 30) and 50 normal-weight controls. Samples were stained with Oil Red O and Sudan III, IV and Black. Lipid accumulation was quantified using digital image analysis. Oral health examinations assessed the prevalence of periodontal disease, dental caries, and oral candidiasis. Oil Red O staining show 2.8-fold higher lipid contents obese subjects than controls (p<0.001). Sudan stains demonstrated similar trends, with Sudan Black being the most sensitive (3.2-fold increase, p<0.001). Positive correlations were found between lipid accumulation and the severity of periodontal disease (r=0.72, p<0.001), dental caries (r=0.58, p<0.01), and oral candidiasis (r=0.63, p<0.01) in obese subjects. Oil Red O and Sudan stains effectively identify and quantify lipid accumulation in adipose tissue. The study's findings underscore a robust link between increased lipid content and the prevalence of obesity-related oral diseases, highlighting the potential of these staining techniques in oral health research and clinical practice.

Hypertension is a leading global health concern, contributing significantly to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Therefore, it is of interest to assess the long-term effects of telemedicine consultations on blood pressure control, medication adherence, and patient satisfaction over one year, comparing it with usual face-to-face care. Results showed that the telemedicine group had significantly better blood pressure control, higher medication adherence (p = 0.002) and greater satisfaction (p < 0.0001) than the control group. Frequent interactions through telemedicine likely facilitated these improvements. Telemedicine demonstrates potential as an effective strategy for managing hypertension in the long term.

A study explored the effectiveness of cold cabbage leaf application in reducing pain and engorgement among postnatal mothers using a mixed-methods approach with 40 participants. The treatment involved applying cold cabbage leaves for 30 minutes, three times a day for three days, which resulted in significant reductions in both pain (from 4.9 to 2.9) and engorgement (from 4.45 to 2.8) at p < 0.001. Qualitative interviews with 10 mothers revealed that many felt relief from pain and swelling and appreciated the simplicity, affordability, and natural aspects of the remedy. However, some mothers experienced discomfort from the coldness and difficulty keeping the cabbage leaves in place. Despite these challenges, the majority were satisfied with the treatment and preferred it over medications. The study suggests that cabbage leaf application is an effective, low-cost solution for managing breast engorgement, with potential benefits for breastfeeding, although future research could focus on improving practical application and providing clearer instructions.

The anticancer potential of Vallisneria spiralis Linnaeus (Vallisneria spiralis L.) for human breast cancer management is of interest. In vitro shows that increasing concentrations of Vallisneria spiralis silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) resulted in greater cytotoxicity against MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The antioxidant potential of Vallisneria spiralis L. was assessed using 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydroxyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Further molecular docking analysis of phytocompounds from Vallisneria spiralis L. with the target protein (PDB ID: 3CZH) shows optimal binding features. Thus, cytotoxicity analysis of Vallisneria spiralis for breast cancer with molecular docking of its phytochemicals and a target protein 3CZH is reported for further consideration.

Indonesia is a countryrich in cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and religious diversity, which requires ongoing efforts to maintain social harmony. However, this diversity also presents unique challenges, particularly concerning potential social conflicts due to differences in values and beliefs. Christian Religious Education (CRE) plays an important role in shaping the character and attitudes of students to enable them to live harmoniously in a pluralistic society. CRE not only focuses on teaching religious doctrines but also imparts universal values, such as love, tolerance, and justice, which can support the creation of a peaceful society. By internalizing these values, students are expected to understand and respect differences and contribute to communal welfare. Nevertheless, implementing CRE in a diverse society also faces various challenges that require synergistic support from various stakeholders. This study aims to deepen the understanding of CRE’s contribution to creating harmonious living in Indonesia’s diverse society and to identify optimal strategies to enhance CRE’s role in educating the younger generation to coexist peacefully.

The Charismatic Movement strengthens the belief that God is still actively working in the lives of His people through miracles and divine healing. This article shows that the Charismatic movement not only brought about changes in the way Christians live their faith, but also contributed to broader social changes in society, creating Christian communities that were more open, participatory, and relevant to the challenges of the times.

The Protestant Reformation, initiated by Martin Luther in the 16th century, was a pivotal event in Christian history that shook the structure of the Catholic Church and had a profound impact on many aspects of life. This movement arose from dissatisfaction with church practices believed to be in conflict with Biblical teachings, such as the sale of indulgences. Through his 95 Theses, Luther emphasized that salvation could only be achieved through faith (sola fide) and that the Bible was the sole source of authority (sola scriptura). These teachings led to a split between the Catholic Church and Protestantism, sparking a broader theological reformation across Europe. Beyond its theological influence, the Protestant Reformation also brought about significant social, political, and cultural changes. Luther's teachings on the importance of education and literacy encouraged the translation of the Bible into local languages, allowing the faithful to access the Scriptures directly. The Reformation also introduced the concept of religious freedom and reshaped the relationship between church and state, with several countries adopting Protestantism as their official religion. Overall, the Protestant Reformation not only transformed the church's structure but also had a major impact on the development of Western social and political systems, creating new concepts of individual freedom and religious authority.
