Efekt redystrybucyjny świadczeń rodzinnych w Polsce – wykorzystanie monetarnych i wielowymiarowych wskaźników zamożności
Authors: Szulc Adam
Published: September 2024

The aim of the study discussed in the article is the evaluation of the impact of family benefits and their modifications on the household wealth distribution. The key research question reads: which of the two characteristics of the benefits – their relative size or regressive character (i.e. the volume of benefits decreasing while the recipient’s income grows) – is more conductive to the analysed effects? The Kakwani decomposition, which makes it possible to split the total effect into the two above-mentioned components, was adopted to answer the research question. As wealth measures, the study employed three kinds of equivalent income, i.e. income declared by households, income declared by households plus money remaining from the previous month and income corrected by means of non-monetary wealth determinants, as well as the multidimensional indicator. The study was based on data for 2015–2020, drawn from subsequent editions of Statistics Poland’s Household Budget Survey. Therefore, a period before the launch of the ‘Family 500 plus’ programme in 2016 was analysed, and modifications, such as waivering in 2019 the income criterion for granting the benefit for the first child, were taken into account. The results of the analyses demonstrate that the redistributive effect of the benefits was mostly affected by the relative size of the benefits, while their regressivity played a secondary role. The comparison of the computations for four wealth indicators leads to the conclusion that the selection of the method of evaluating the wealth of households does not significantly impact the assessment of the redistributive effect of family benefits, which stands in opposition to some other studies employing monetary and multidimensional wealth indicators.
The application of a panel PLS-SEM model to determine the relationship between the institutional factors and the innovativeness of EU economies
Authors: Borkowski Mateusz
Published: September 2024

The ability of domestic enterprises to invent, introduce and diffuse innovations has been a driving force of the development of modern economies. This paper focuses on the institutional determinants of innovativeness of European Union economies. Institutions are defined as a universal, relatively persistent set of social norms rooted in society, shaping both human behaviour and all relations in the economy. The institutional factors seem to be especially significant nowadays, in an era dominated by the open innovation model. The aim of the study discussed in the article is to measure the quality of institutions and the level of innovativeness of EU economies (26 EU economies, excluding Greece due to data deficiency) and to identify the relationship between these directly unobservable categories. The research applies the partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) method. On the basis of data for the years 2010 and 2020 extracted from Eurostat, Freedom House, the Fraser Institute, the Heritage Foundation and the Legatum Institute, a panel PLS-SEM model was constructed and an empirical analysis was performed. The latter demonstrates that the correlation between the quality of institutions and the level of innovativeness of EU economies was positive, strong and statistically significant both in 2010 and in 2020. Taking into account the theoretical aspects and the results of research of other scientists, this relationship might be considered not only as correlational, but also as causal.

Hernia de disco: tratamiento mínimamente invasivo
Authors: Ceratto Rosana , Vicente Miriam , Loncharic Esteban
Published: September 2024

Objetivo: La elevada prevalencia de la hernia de disco hace que sea un motivo de consulta muy frecuente, así como un hallazgo radiológico de alta incidencia. Presentamos una serie consecutiva de pacientes tratados por vía percutánea realizando la inyección local intradiscal de alcohol gelificado (Discogel°).
Materiales y métodos: Se incluyen a 19 pacientes tratados en el año 2019, 16 con diagnóstico de hernia de disco lumbar/lumbosacra, dos con hernia dorsal y uno con hernia cervical, todos sintomáticos y los síntomas atribuibles a la patología, y en cinco de ellos se realizó simultáneamente el tratamiento de discos múltiples por presentar distribución radicular en más de una raíz nerviosa. Un paciente había sido operado previamente con colocación de separadores interespinosos, con persistencia del dolor y déficit neurológico.
Resultados: Ningún paciente de esta serie debió ser operado por técnicas quirúrgicas convencionales al año de seguimiento. En el 78.9% de los pacientes (15 pac) el dolor desapareció, en el 15.9 % (3 pac) se redujo el dolor significativamente, y en el 5.2% (1 pac) no se constataron cambios.
Conclusión: Las técnicas de tratamiento percutáneo de las hernias de disco existen desde los años 60, particularmente la quimionucleolisis con quimopapaína y con ozono. Actualmente no hay consenso acerca de la conveniencia o no de realizar tratamiento en una hernia de disco sintomática. Sin embargo, hay suficiente evidencia clínica y radiológica que avala este método terapéutico, sobre todo porque, a diferencia de la cirugía, se observa regeneración de material discal en el espacio tratado, con baja tasa de re tratamiento y de recidiva de enfermedad del mismo disco.

Authors: Rassier Isolan Gustavo , Olaves  Marques Victor Matheus
Published: September 2024

INTRODUCCIÓN: Los meningiomas petroclivales son tumores benignos cuyo tratamiento microquirúrgico es uno de los mayores retos de la neurocirugía. El conocimiento profundo de la anatomía microquirúrgica y los abordajes quirúrgicos para el tratamiento de estos tumores es la primera etapa de aprendizaje para un manejo ideal. Este artículo se divide en dos partes: la primera parte presentará los resultados de la anatomía microquirúrgica relevantes para el manejo de los meningiomas petroclivales. En la segunda parte, los autores correlacionan esta anatomía con 30 casos de meningiomas petroclivales operados por el autor principal (GRI).
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Se disecaron ocho cabezas de cadáveres utilizando un microscopio quirúrgico en el laboratorio de microcirugía de la University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. En los cerebros y en todas las cabezas, se inyectó silicona de colores para resaltar la diferencia entre las arterias y las venas. Los cadáveres fueron colocados en un fijador craneal tipo Mayfield, simulando el posicionamiento quirúrgico de los abordajes craneo-órbito-cigomatico, petrosectomía anterior y posterior y retrosigmoideo. Otras ocho cabezas de cadáveres fueron formolizadas y con los vasos inyectados con silicona de colores. Se realizaron los abordajes petroso anterior, petroso posterior y craneo-órbito-cigomático.
RESULTADOS: En el manejo de los meningiomas petroclivales se utilizan tres abordajes quirúrgicos principales: abordaje pterional y sus variantes, abordaje petroso y sus variantes y abordaje retrosigmoideo. Los abordajes endonasales endoscópicos extendidos tienen factores limitantes para su uso en este tipo de procedimiento. Para racionalizar la elección del abordaje quirúrgico, dividimos el clivus en tercios superior, medio e inferior.
CONCLUSIONES: Varios abordajes quirúrgicos dan acceso a la región petroclival. El conocimiento práctico de la anatomía de esta región adquirido en el laboratorio de microcirugía es parte fundamental del cirujano que se propone operar meningiomas petroclivales.

Overview of Malaria in Pregnancy: Challenges and Strategies for Effective Prevention
Authors:   Faculty of Biological Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Uwimana Amani G.
Published: September 2024

Malaria in pregnancy is a significant public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, with 30 million pregnancies at risk each year. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable due to immunological changes and the placental environment that facilitates parasite sequestration. The predominant malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is associated with significant maternal and fetal complications. Effective malaria prevention strategies include insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp) with Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine. However, adherence to preventive chemotherapy is challenging due to side effects and socioeconomic barriers. Health education programs are crucial for increasing awareness and promoting preventive behaviors. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are critical for managing severe malaria cases. Environmental and vector control measures, such as indoor residual spraying and larval source management, are vital for reducing mosquito populations and transmission. Nutritional interventions support immune function and overall health. Access to healthcare services, innovative technologies, and cultural and socioeconomic factors are essential for overcoming barriers to malaria prevention and treatment. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are crucial for refining interventions and improving health outcomes. Keywords: Malaria, Pregnancy, Challenges, Strategies, Effective Prevention
Clinical Manifestations and Health Impact of Malaria in Pregnant Women
Authors:   Faculty of Biological Sciences Kampala International University Uganda, Kamanzi Nyirabashitsi I.
Published: September 2024

Malaria during pregnancy poses significant health risks, both to mothers and their unborn children, due to the unique physiological and immunological changes occurring during this period. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the clinical manifestations and health impacts of malaria in pregnant women, highlighting the severity of the disease across different trimesters and its implications for maternal and fetal health. Malaria during pregnancy can cause symptoms like fever, anemia, headaches, fatigue, and nausea, with complications varying by trimester. In the first trimester, malaria can lead to early pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies, while in the second trimester, it can exacerbate maternal anemia and affect fetal growth. The third trimester is associated with an increased risk of preterm labor and adverse fetal outcomes. Placental malaria, characterized by parasite accumulation in the placenta, impairs nutrient and oxygen transfer to the fetus, leading to intrauterine growth restriction, low birth weight, and increased stillbirth risk. Maternal complications include severe anemia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and potential long-term health effects. HIV infection further complicates malaria during pregnancy, increasing risks for both mother and fetus. Age-related variations and socioeconomic factors also impact malaria severity and management. Effective management strategies include intermittent preventive treatment, insecticide-treated nets, and indoor residual spraying. Addressing malaria during pregnancy requires a multifaceted approach, including enhancing diagnostic tools, improving preventive measures, and ensuring equitable healthcare access.

Challenges in Malaria Control and Prevention in East Africa
Authors:   Faculty of Medicine Kampala International University Uganda, Ndayishimiye Havyarimana P.
Published: September 2024

Malaria remains a critical public health issue in East Africa, where high transmission rates persist despite extensive control and prevention efforts. This review article explores the multifaceted challenges that hinder effective malaria control and prevention in the region, including the emergence of drug-resistant Plasmodium parasites, insecticide-resistant mosquito vectors, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, socio-economic barriers, and environmental factors. The review methodology involved analyzing recent studies, reports, and data from international health organizations. Drug resistance and vector control are significant issues, with resistance to both anti-malarial drugs and insecticides compromising treatment efficacy and prevention efforts. Additionally, socio-economic factors such as poverty and lack of education, coupled with climate variability and environmental changes, further complicate malaria control. Addressing these challenges requires a coordinated approach that integrates continuous monitoring, healthcare system strengthening, community engagement, and international collaboration. By tackling these issues, East Africa can improve its malaria control efforts and ultimately enhance the health outcomes of its populations.

Evaluating the Relationship between Teacher Pupil Ratio on Academic Performance of Pupils in Selected Primary Schools in Busia District, Uganda
Authors:   College of Economics and Management Sciences, Kampala International University, Uganda, Stephen Ojambo
Published: September 2024

This article evaluates the relationship between teacher-pupil ratios on the academic performance of pupils in selected primary schools in t h e Busia district of Uganda. the article revealed that planning an interactive and demonstration lesson becomes so challenging in large classes. This forces teachers to resort to using the lecture method because it is the only convenient one for large classes. However, with a lower student-teacher ratio, teachers have the capacity to address this situation, offering the students extra materials and helping them succeed to the best of their abilities. The teacher will also have a higher bandwidth to go above and beyond in communicating this area of strength with the student's parents and considering the next best steps. In the end, the article calls for the government of Uganda to thoroughly plan a path to universal primary education so that the necessary infrastructure is provided alongside the acceptance of more pupils instead of overwhelming an unprepared system with thousands of pupils. More so, as the Ministry of Education and sports reviews its policies annually,the input of teachers, students, parents, and administrators should be considered. Similarly, to encourage students and families to value education and have a stake in each student's education, the government should not advertise universal secondary education as entirely free and consequently require input from families. Furthermore, UPE should drastically reduce its recommended class size so that teachers can reasonably know each student and give him or her the necessary attention he or she deserves.

This review examines the multifaceted vulnerability of Ugandan youth to HIV/AIDS, emphasising the interplay of social, economic, and behavioural dimensions. Through a comprehensive analysis of HIV prevalence rates, trends, regional variations, and gender disparities, the review highlights key risk factors, including peer pressure, cultural norms, stigma, economic hardship, and substance use. It underscores the critical role of gender dynamics, with female youth facing unique challenges such as gender-based violence and economic dependence, while LGBTQ+ youth encounter compounded risks due to societal stigma and inadequate services. We also explore the disparities between rural and urban youth in access to information and services, uncovering significant barriers they face. Youth-led initiatives are critical in addressing these challenges, with peer education programs, youth-friendly services, and innovative digital campaigns all playing a crucial role in prevention efforts. We discuss barriers to youth participation, such as stigma, cultural norms, and educational gaps, and discuss strategies to overcome them, like culturally sensitive education and improved access to resources. We highlight the role of schools and educational institutions, emphasising the importance of integrating comprehensive sex education, school-based health services, and extracurricular activities to foster awareness and preventive behaviours. The review also highlights the importance of youth advocacy and leadership in shaping inclusive policies and driving effective interventions. We present economic empowerment strategies, including skills training andmicrofinance, as complementary to health-focused efforts by addressing socioeconomic vulnerabilities. The review concludes by advocating for a holistic approach that combines education, economic empowerment, gender-sensitive interventions, and collaborative partnerships among government, NGOs, civil society, and the private sector to effectively reduce HIV prevalence and improve the well-being of Ugandan youth.

The Ministry of Education (2023) announced plans to introduce AI digital textbooks in 2025, aiming to provide personalized education and transform the educational paradigm towards interactive, self-directed learning. This study explores interface designs to enhance the immersion of digital textbooks for students with hearing impairments. Digital textbooks should be easily accessible to all users, including younger learners and those with disabilities. They can serve as effective tools to replace private tutoring, particularly for students with disabilities who often progress slower than their peers. The research employed two main methods. First, a literature review on special education students was conducted, analyzing the cognitive characteristics of students with hearing impairments, followed by a preliminary experiment to identify improvements. Second, an eye-tracking experiment analyzed scan paths and fixation times (heat maps). Based on validated data and in-depth interviews, guidelines were established. Findings indicated that students spent significantly more time on image and text areas in the interactive version(D1) of the digital textbook compared to the original version(D). Post-tests verified a positive effect on academic achievement. This study aims to alleviate some of the challenges faced by students with hearing impairments in acquiring English, enabling them to realize their potential and become members of the global community.

A Study on the Subject Representation of the Chinese Short Ink Animation (2023)
Authors:   Art·Design Research Institute of Kyung-Hee University, Li Lin Ji , Chang Woo-Rin
Published: September 2024

Since the 1990s, traditional Chinese ink animation has declined due to its complexity, lack of entertainment value, and high production costs. Although digital technology has been introduced to innovate, there remains the problem of the pictorial nature of ink painting being sacrificed for the spatiotemporal characteristics of animation. Therefore, this paper explores human desire and nature through the character portrayal and mountain shaping in Goose Mountain. The director combines the traditional ink painting technique of “Cunfa (皴法),” Western sketching, the characteristics of the French Left Bank cinema movement, and the theory of “Breaking the Fourth Wall” to portray the characters. In doing so, Goose Mountain inherits the tradition of the “Chinese Animation School” while adapting to the development of the digital age, embracing Western film and animation techniques, and reflecting the creative ideology of “using Chinese essence with Western methods.” Through this ideology, Goose Mountain maintains the unique traditional aesthetics of Chinese ink animation—“the integration of virtual and real (虚实相生)”—while achieving a strong visual effect. As a result, Goose Mountain balances various artistic styles, reflecting the modern human condition of “worrying about gain and loss before obtaining something, and worrying about losing it after obtaining it.” Ultimately, it conveys the lesson that “life is like a rootless plant, drifting like dust on the road.” Based on this theme, this paper presents a viable visual strategy for the modern entertainment market while inheriting the culture of traditional Chinese ink painting.

First, we defined the unique identity of Noddle Island based on user perceptions and prepared a prototype of the brand identity and practical results. Second, it provided a conceptual shift in place branding with an integrated approach to visitor perception and place brand identity design. Third, we prepared a brand identity strategy system that can be applied to idle spaces or public spaces that have difficulties in establishing a clear communication system. Fourth, by utilizing AI-generated images in the design process, we confirmed the potential of AI as a collaborator in the creative realm and a means of expanding thinking. This study is significant in that it is a design attempt to expand the perspective of place brand identity design and explore more practical and diverse ways of utilizing AI.
Study on Influencing Factors of Grain Supply Chain Resilience Based on DEMATEL-ISM Method
Authors: Yang Zhengyan , Chen Yu
Published: September 2024

The essential requirement for the resilience and safety of the food industry supply chain is to achieve independent, controllable, safe, efficient, and sustainable development. Currently, and for a significant period in the future, the food industry supply chain faces several risks, primarily due to increased uncertainties. These risks manifest as the need for optimization in the layout of the food industry, prominent structural shortages, and a lack of full autonomy and control in key links of the industry chain. Such risks can potentially evolve into critical factors that restrict the resilience and security of the food industry supply chain. To effectively address these risks, this paper identifies 12 influencing factors based on four key capabilities of the food supply chain: forecasting ability, response-ability, adaptation ability, and recovery ability. An evaluation index system for the resilience of the food supply chain is constructed, integrating the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) methodologies. Analysis of the interactions between these factors reveals that three factors, including supply chain visibility, are fundamental, seven factors, including the level of agricultural mechanization, are intermediate, and dynamic logistics and flexibility are direct factors. Based on these conclusions, this paper proposes several targeted recommendations to enhance the development of the food supply chain. These recommendations aim to improve the supply chain's resilience and ability to withstand potential risks.

La gobernanza global de los océanos y la Organización Marítima Internacional
Authors: Argüelles Arredondo Carlos Gabriel , Velázquez Flores Rafael
Published: September 2024

La Organización Marítima Internacional (OMI) es un organismo de alcance universal de competencia limitada que forma parte de la gobernanza global de los oceános. Esta institución pertenece al sistema de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, dependiendo directamente del Consejo Económico y Social. Esto quiere decir que su cobertura geográfica y geopolítica es global, pero su labor se enfoca en los temas marítimos y portuarios. Los objetivos de este capítulo son analizar el papel de esta organización en la gobernanza global de los océanos y entender la importancia de la labor de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas en la protección y preservación del medio marino a través de este organismo internacional. El artículo reseña brevemente la navegación marítima, la gobernanza global de los océanos, los antecedentes de la formación de la OMI, explica las metas y funciones de la institución, relata su estructura institucional y analiza su papel en la actualidad, así como una evaluación de su desempeño, alcances y limitaciones. El argumento central de este trabajo es que la Organización Marítima Internacional ha sido clave en la legislación y articulación de la navegación marítima dentro de la gobernanza global de los océanos. Pues en la época de la regionalización de mercados, el transporte de mercancías vía marítima se ha incrementado y constituye un motor de la economía, la cooperación y el desarrollo de los pueblos.
Nuevos actores internacionales: el caso de los refugiados en San Luis Potosí, México
Authors: Costero Garbarino María Cecilia
Published: September 2024

Este artículo analiza el proceso de recepción de refugiados como nuevos actores internacionales en las entidades mexicanas y se cuestiona si el gobierno mexicano tiene una política migratoria definida o solo ha sido coyuntural. Se abordan los antecedentes en relaciones internacionales, particularmente en torno al tema migratorio, para comprender la postura de la política migratoria de México a través de los últimos años y exponer el caso de la recepción de refugiados en el estado de San Luis Potosí. La inclusión laboral de refugiados en San Luis Potosí es un ejemplo de paradiplomacia exitoso de cooperación entre organismos internacionales, cámaras empresariales -locales y nacionales- y gobiernos subnacionales en México.
Las consecuencias económicas de la legalización de la marihuana sobre el sistema económico de las drogas ilegales: lecciones para México
Authors: Herrera Medina Christian
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo propone una aproximación general hacia determinadas consecuencias económicas relevantes que trajeron consigo diferentes procesos de despenalización y/o legalización de la marihuana sobre el sistema económico de las drogas ilícitas. Para ello, se describen las consecuencias económicas de la prohibición, y cómo esta política propicia la emergencia de un sistema económico sustentado en la acumulación de capital con drogas ilegales. Posteriormente, se abordan 3 experiencias internacionales de legalización y despenalización del cannabis, junto con el status legal actual del cannabis en México, y se reflexiona algunos cambios económicos relevantes que trajeron consigo la despenalización o legalización de la marihuana sobre el sistema económico de las drogas ilícitas, tales como las configuraciones de la producción, la oferta y la demanda de marihuana ilegal, aunado a la reducción de la ganancia de las organizaciones delictivas, la fiscalización de este tipo de droga, y la fragmentación del mercado de las drogas ilegales por la irrupción del mercado legal del cannabis. A modo de conclusión, se reflexiona los alcances y limitaciones de las experiencias internacionales abordadas, y se les compara con la política tolerante en materia de drogas llevada a cabo bajo las directrices del Dr. Leopoldo Salazar Viniegra, durante el sexenio presidencial del Gral. Lázaro Cárdenas del Río.
Legislar sobre noticias falsas: implicaciones sobre la racionalidad legislativa
Authors: Tovar Silva Yvonne Georgina
Published: September 2024

El presente trabajo pretende explorar los alcances de las noticias falsas y la problemática que genera en la toma de decisiones. En el ámbito legislativo, las referencias a las noticias falsas pueden conllevar a que no se alcancen determinados objetivos políticos, económicos, sociales y culturales que requiere el Estado o dar una indebida interpretación a los valores que se requieren salvaguardar en el Estado de Derecho. Por lo anterior, es fundamental fortalecer el compromiso ético del legislador, reforzar el carácter racional y dialógico de los trabajos parlamentarios, así como fomentar la participación ciudadana en la crítica a la actividad del legislador, con la finalidad de que se disminuya el riesgo de que la manipulación y falsedad de ciertas noticias incida negativamente en el contenido de la normatividad estatal.
¿Sigue siendo el mundo de hoy una aldea global? (Inglés)
Authors: Sarquís Ramírez David J.
Published: September 2024

La idea de una aldea global, tal como la propuso Marshal McLuhan a finales de los años sesenta del siglo pasado fue amplia (aunque nunca universalmente) reconocida como un precedente definitorio para la comprensión del emergente proceso de globalización que se aceleró marcadamente al término de la Guerra Fría. No obstante, la globalifobia, el resurgimiento del nacionalismo, la xenofobia y el proteccionismo, entre otros movimientos fragmentadores, característicos de las primeras décadas de este siglo, parecen sugerir que la idea de una aldea global ha pasado de moda y que, por lo tanto, ahora resulta prácticamente inútil para el estudio del estado actual de la sociedad internacional. Mi argumento en este ensayo es que esto no es así. Mi hipótesis central es que, a pesar de los movimientos globalifóbicos de hoy en día, la idea de una aldea global, tal como la sugirió McLuhan en su momento, sigue siendo tan útil, válida e importante como cuando se presentó originalmente y mi intención es demostrar cómo y porqué esto es así.
