Authors: Flores Villegas Abigail , Medina Jiménez Armando
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar y precisar el impacto e importancia que en la actualidad se le confiere al clima y la cultura organizacional en las Instituciones del Sector de Salud Público en México. Por medio de la metodología de investigación cualitativa se examinan las acciones de mejora implementadas por la Jefatura de Servicios de Finanzas en el Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social del Órgano de Operación Administrativa Desconcentrada en San Luis Potosí para facilitar a los Servidores Públicos desempeñar sus labores en un clima satisfactorio que apoye en la calidad del servicio que brindan. Obtenidos los resultados de las encuestas a los trabajadores del Departamento de Tesorería del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social del Órgano de Operación Administrativa Desconcentrada en San Luis Potosí, podemos interpretar como está actualmente el clima organizacional. El estudio nos ha permitido llegar a la conclusión evidente del problema, el cual radica en los superiores que no han prestado atención a las necesidades de motivación, apertura, flexibilidad, habilidad de escuchar a sus empleados, reforzar adecuadamente y apoyar a resarcir los puntos débiles; este artículo pretende proponer una solución a esta problemática, con el ánimo de elevar la calidad del servicio del departamento, así como mantener un clima laboral equilibrado para el bien del departamento. Este análisis de la información del clima organizacional será obsoleto si las personas responsables de implementar las mejoras necesarias no tienen la voluntad o los recursos necesarios para establecer un rediseño y un cambio viable en el clima organizacional.

Los ciclos autofagóticos y su papel en la participación ciudadana digital como un elemento de despolitización social
Authors: Delgado Ríos Claudio Felipe , Solís Domínguez Daniel
Published: August 2024

En el artículo se expone un análisis de la manera en que la participación ciudadana digital reconfigura el espacio público instaurado de manera simultánea tanto por el Estado como por el capitalismo informático. Consideramos que, si bien se observa un mecanismo de fragmentación e individualización, y con ello una inclinación hacia la despolitización de la participación ciudadana, ni el Estado ni los instrumentos digitales imponen totalmente su razón. Los agentes a partir de sus condiciones singulares de existencia implementan prácticas que reconfiguran el espacio público. Para ilustrar lo anterior, recurrimos a lo que se denomina ciclos autofagóticos de información, los cuales, son un elemento de las burbujas epistémicas y las cámaras de eco mediáticas. Metodológicamente, se recurre al análisis del discurso jurídico. La base empírica se obtuvo del portal del Congreso del estado de San Luis Potosí, así como el perfil oficial de Facebook de la entonces diputada del distrito VII, de la capital potosina. Este fenómeno podría entenderse más como un mecanismo catártico resultado de los procesos políticos actuales, en los cuales las instancias gubernamentales y no gubernamentales de injerencia política y participación ciudadana, se presentan como elementos ajenos al ciudadano, teniendo como resultado que el individuo tenga la posibilidad de participación a partir de la escritura y consumo de mensajes que sirven más como válvula de escape, que como mecanismo de cambio y acción.

Authors: García Mata Osvaldo , Velarde García José Luis Énder
Published: August 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es construir una escala para medir los principios meritocráticos, democráticos y materialistas entre adultos emergentes. Su método incluye análisis factoriales y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales para integrar un modelo de medida. Los resultados confirman una relación estrecha entre los tres conceptos, asimismo, que los adultos emergentes consideran que la meritocracia está definida por sus posibilidades de progreso a partir de su esfuerzo, la democracia por la igualdad de oportunidades de acceso al mercado laboral y los asuntos públicos, y el materialismo por la relación entre los satisfactores materiales con el éxito y aceptación social. Estos hallazgos son útiles para instrumentadores de políticas públicas, educadores y administradores porque orientan las decisiones relacionadas con adultos emergentes en sus roles de ciudadanos, estudiantes y trabajadores, entre otros. Una de sus principales limitaciones es la falta de datos para estudios longitudinales que faciliten establecer relaciones causa-efecto.

Published: August 2024

Este texto tem por objetivo refletir sobre as imagens da arte utilizadas em contexto escolar, especialmente nas aulas de Artes Visuais, e sobre seu papel na propagação do racismo ou, na contramão desse, em atuação na luta antirracista. Para tanto, inicia-se a reflexão a partir da obra "A Redenção de Cam" (1895), de Modesto Brocos y Gómez, pintura pertencente ao acervo do Museu Nacional de Belas Artes (MNBA) e símbolo da tese do branqueamento no Brasil. São referenciais para a problematização dessa imagem os estudos de Lotierzo (2013; 2017), acerca do racismo na pintura brasileira entre 1850-1940; a ideia de olhar opositor/oposicional, de bell hooks (2019); e o conceito de imagens de controle, de Patrícia Hill Collins (2019). Ao final, são apresentadas produções das artistas Aline Motta, Renata Sampaio e Renata Felinto dos Santos, como imagens que podem provocar modos de se compreenderem as relações raciais no Brasil e, talvez, contribuir para o exercício de uma docência mais reflexiva e comprometida com a luta antirracista no que se refere ao trabalho com imagens da arte na escola.

Neuroprotective and Nootropic Effect of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. (Brahmi) through Its In vivo Data Focused on Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Uçar Akyürek Tuğba , Erdoğan Orhan İlkay
Published: August 2024

Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. (Plantaginaceae) (BM), known as “brahmi”, is a reputed medicinal plant, particularly in Ayurvedic medicine. Since BM has been traditionally used for memory dysfunction, experimental studies at the pre-clinical level support the nootropic effect of the plant relevant to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) demonstrated through various mechanisms. It has been reported that saponins (e.g. bacosides, bacopasides, and bacopasaponins) are largely responsible for the memory-enhancing and other neuropharmacological effects of BM. Bacosides, which are non-polar molecules that can easily cross the blood-brain barrier, are reported to directly lead to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in the brain. BM extracts rich in bacosides are considered advantageous due to their higher nootropic efficacy. The findings suggest that only bacoside enrichment increases antiamnesic activity; other components also contribute to the extract with a synergism. Adverse side effects of BM in humans have rarely been reported. In the current review, we aimed to scrutinize in vivo data derived from the studies related to the cognitive-enhancement effect of BM with a special focus on AD.

This study examined pesticide residues and heavy metals in farms in Akko, Billiri, and Kaltungo local government areas, Gombe State, Nigeria. A 2.5 cm spiral auger gathered soil samples at 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, and 20-30 cm depths. The three research regions' soil samples were bulked together to produce a 1 kilogramme composite sample and digested using a 5:1:1 trio-acid combination (70% HNO3, 65% HClO4, and 70% H2SO4) at 80oC. The Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS, shimadzu japan 6800) measured heavy metals and GC-MS measured pesticide residues. Thirteen organochlorine pesticide residues including Mn, Cd, Pb, Zn, and Cu were found. Higher quantities of organochlorine pesticide residue and heavy metals in this research may be attributable to soil composition, agricultural methods, and environmental variables. The study of organochlorine pesticide residues and heavy metal in Akko, Biliri, and Kaltungo Local Government Areas shows that agricultural pesticides may harm human health. Public understanding of this pesticide's dangers and precautions are needed immediately. Keywords: Soil, Pesticide, Heavy Metals and human health

Metal complexes of Ni (II) and Cu (II) with Schiff-base were successfully synthesized, characterized by solubility, melting point/decomposition temperature, molar conductivity, FT-IR, magnetic susceptibility, and elemental analysis. The complexes have a 1:2 metal-ligand ratio and low molar conductance values, indicating nonelectrolytes. They were tested for antibacterial activity against pseudomonas and Escherichia coli and Candida albicans and Aspergillus flavus. Both the free ligand and the complexes showed antibacterial activity, with higher activity at high concentrations. The complexes showed better antibacterial and fungal activity than the free ligand. Keywords: Urea, Synthesis, Benzaldedyde, Microorganisms, Azomethine.

CALLIGRAPHY ART AS A MEDIUM OF DA'WAH IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ISLAM
Authors: Madina Ahsani
Published: August 2024

Islamic boarding schools are known by the public because many of the works of students are introduced through culture and religion so that these works are known to the outside community. At Islamic boarding school students are also taught to study religion and deepen efforts to create a generation whose character is shaped in accordance with Islamic law. So it is no longer surprising if alumni of Islamic boarding schools are found who have good scientific character. If a work of calligraphy is found in a shop, the first thing that comes to mind is that the work is one of the works of Islamic boarding school children. So that it attracts the attention of parents to enter their children into Islamic boarding schools because of the works made by these students. Developments that can be seen at this time are the many impacts of the influence of calligraphy in Islamic boarding schools and outside Islamic boarding schools. The impact with the existence of calligraphy has had an influence on the development of Islam. The purpose of writing this article is to find out how the role of Islamic boarding schools is in developing the art of calligraphy as a medium for preaching the development of Islam. In this study the authors used descriptive qualitative methods through a literature study approach, taking reference materials from journals, books, articles, and others, as mandatory material in this research.
