El cambio climático: posibles impactos en la agricultura en el contexto de América Latina y Venezuela
Authors: Cartay Rafael , Poveda Eliana , Buzetta María
Published: November 2023

Una de las mayores preocupaciones actuales a escala mundial se refiere al calentamiento global del planeta causado por la emisión excesiva y continua de gases de efecto invernadero, cuyos efectos pueden ser revertidos procediendo al secuestro y mitigación del exceso de tales gases. El tratamiento del tema, utilizando el método deductivo y básicamente la investigación documental, de tipo descriptivo y comparativo, se ha dividido en dos partes. La primera de ellas trata sobre la evolución del modelo de producción de alimentos aplicado en la región latinoamericana y caribeña, considerando dos modos de producción distintos: la agricultura familiar campesina y la agricultura empresarial, cuyo uso de los factores de producción y –en consecuencia, sus comportamientos y resultados– afectan de manera diferente el medio ambiente. En la segunda parte se revisan, de manera comparativa, los efectos negativos de la aplicación de esos dos modos de producción. Se distingue aquí entre actividad agrícola y ganadera y las implicaciones de tales actividades sobre la satisfacción de las necesidades internas de alimentos, en correspondencia con los objetivos de mantener y/o aumentar los niveles de seguridad alimentaria de la población. Esta se caracteriza por presentar bajos índices de bienestar social y económico –por un lado– y por estar presionada por la necesidad de divisas en cuantía suficiente para financiar el desarrollo económico de los países de la región, sometidos a tantas carencias –por el otro–. Un mayor desajuste en la consecución de esos dos objetivos se reflejará, como lo ha venido históricamente haciendo, sobre la intensidad del cambio climático provocado a nivel regional, con sus consecuencias a nivel global en áreas críticas ambientales como la cuenca amazónica. Uno de los principales elementos diferenciales en los dos modos de producción examinados se refieren a la forma de cultivo que se aplica (modelos de monocultivo o de plantación de un rubro específico y los de policultivo o cultivos diversificados); la actividad cumplida (agricultura o ganadería), examinando sus efectos negativos sobre el medio ambiente; y, finalmente, mediante la revisión de las principales medidas de política pública y privada aplicadas en el sector primario (de carácter organizativo, tecnológico y agroecológico), desde una perspectiva del corto y largo plazo, para intentar mitigar los efectos del cambio climático.
Sistemas alimentarios urbanos y su gobernanza, ¿una alternativa viable para Venezuela en el marco de los sistemas agroalimentarios sostenibles?
Authors: Anido José
Published: November 2023

En las últimas décadas se observa en la literatura la creciente preocupación en cuanto al desafío que supone alimentar de forma sostenible a una población en continuo crecimiento. Se observa también un creciente consenso en cuanto a que los sistemas agroalimentarios, además de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria, deberán adoptar de métodos más eficaces y sostenibles de producción, ser más sostenibles e inclusivos y adaptarse al cambio climático. Esto es aún más trascendental para las ciudades, que concentran la mayor proporción de la población y en donde se consume más de 2/3 del total de agua y de energía. Bajo estas consideraciones se desarrolló un estudio exploratorio y de revisión, a partir de fuentes secundarias. El objetivo central fue estudiar una alternativa que ha emergido recientemente a nivel internacional: los sistemas alimentarios urbanos y su gobernanza, a partir de la revisión de algunos elementos teóricos y tendencias. Con base en esta revisión se discutió su viabilidad en el caso venezolano, examinando algunas experiencias recientes y considerando tanto los recursos actualmente disponibles como las principales barreras para su materialización a nivel nacional. También se discutió cómo podrían coadyuvar a la consecución de los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible de Naciones Unidas, en particular, como espacios capaces de proveer alimentos sanos, de manera sostenible y que permitan mejorar los medios de vida de la población. Entre los principales recursos disponibles se identificaron la infraestructura de educación y formación en el área del país, junto con un marco jurídico-legal e institucional renovado y –en el papel– abiertamente proambientalista y orientado al ciudadano. Entre las limitaciones destacan: i) la creciente desforestación y quema de especies vegetales; ii) deterioro del servicio agua potable y su uso en la agricultura urbana; iii) la migración de la población, particularmente la de mayor formación académica y profesional; iv) el deterioro del Sistema Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación y declive del financiamiento público a través de la LOCTI; v) opacidad y extemporaneidad de la información oficial; y vi) escasez de financiamiento para instalación y adecuación de desarrollos nuevos o existentes. El otro aspecto abordado fueron las dificultades para implementar un adecuado modelo de gobernanza, debido en parte a la creciente centralización de decisiones, pérdida de autoridad de los gobiernos locales y escasa interlocución y
Implications of positive psychology in community service guidance practice: A group intervention for community children

Published: November 2023

Positive Psychology Interventions (PPIs) has been widely used in the world with children and has achieved good results. In recent years, PPIs has been carried out among college students in China and has achieved certain results. In contrast, there is little use in Chinese children. In order to verify the effect of PPIs on children in Chinese communities, so that we can provide an effective way to serve children in the community. This study adopted the method of experimental research, and compared the effect of PPIs on the improvement of positive psychological quality of children in communities by pre - and post-test. The results showed that through PPIs, the positive psychological quality of children in the community was significantly improved, and it was not affected by gender, grade and whether they came from a single parent family. But this improvement is only an overall improvement, not an improvement in every quality. Which quality can be improved depends on which PPIs program is used. Therefore, this study suggests that PPIs can be widely used in children in the community, but it needs to be measured before intervention, and the appropriate PPIs program should be accurately selected according to the measured results.
How ESG Disclosure Affects the Stock Price Crash Risk
Authors: Luo Jingyu
Published: November 2023

This study delves into the relationship between ESG (environmental, social, and governance) factors and the possibility of a stock market collapse. While ESG factors have become a pivotal consideration in assessing a company's sustainable and ethical business practices, the dynamics between ESG scores and the stock market collapse risk remain underexplored. Drawing upon a comprehensive dataset from 2009-2020, our research offers an enriched understanding of these factors' interplay. Initial findings suggest a correlation between higher ESG scores and reduced stock price collapse risk. The paper contributes to the broader discourse in three keyways. Firstly, it expands the understanding of ESG's economic consequences, emphasizing its potential protective role against significant stock price downturns. Secondly, by incorporating the perspective of sustainable business practices, the research contributes to the existing literature on the factors that determine of stock price collapse risk. Finally, it underscores the practical implications of promoting ESG in mitigating financial risks, informing both corporate strategies and regulatory frameworks.
Ketentuan Hukum Shalat Jumat dalam Risalah Cahaya Suluh: Perspektif Ulama Kontemporer dan Pembelajaran PAI di Sekolah Umum dan Madrasah
Authors: Nijo Nijo , Mahrus Erwin
Published: November 2023

Friday prayers have kaifiyah regarding the terms and pillars where scholars have similar opinions, there are also those who differ in certain matters. The discussion of this paper discusses the Friday prayer in the Treatise of Light Suluh which is conferred by his contemporaries with Islamic Religious Education Lessons in Madrasas. Motede discusses studies in the analysis of journals and books that make related to Friday prayers. After the process of discussion and study, the first conclusion was obtained, that the Treatise of Light Suluh Maharaja Imam Basiuni Imran was written to provide solutions to the problem of dissent and the practice of Friday prayers and dhuhur prayers on Friday in Sambas and its surroundings. Second, Maharaja Imam Basiuni Imran in deciding the law of worship is always based on the arguments and opinions of scholars in the matter of Friday prayers Basiuni Imran is very moderate and flexible even though he is a Shafi'i school because Sambas conditions require a fatwa on the validity of Friday prayers carried out by less than 40 people including no longer performing dhuhur prayers on Friday if they have performed Friday prayers. Third, Islamic religious education learning in schools that discuss Friday prayers for the MTs / Junior High School level is quite adequate, but for high school / vocational / MA it is necessary to deepen the material
Sclerotia of rice false smut disease in Bangladesh
Authors: Nessa Bodrun , Salam Moin , Kashem Md , Kashem Md
Published: November 2023

It is perceived that sclerotia of the pathogen, in addition to chlamydospores, play an important role in the epidemiology of rice false smut disease. The propagule has been identified only in five rice growing countries of the world, and never recorded in Bangladesh. This study was undertaken to identify the sclerotia, quantify their concentration on smut balls and estimate the time of its formation. Intensive field-by-field monitoring was conducted during 2014, 2015 and 2016 at experimental farm of the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Gazipur. After rigorous search, sclerotia of rice false smut pathogen was identified on the 14th of December 2014. The was observed in the later part of crop maturity during the ‘T. Aman’ season (early-November to mid-December) on olivaceous greenish-black smut balls, but not on orange smut ball. During the three years study, on average, 30.61±9.79% (± is 95%confidence interval) olivaceous greenish-black smut balls borne sclerotia, the average number being 1.63±0.09 per sclerotia-bearing ball. The ‘threshold temperature’ for sclerotia formation was estimated as above 11°C difference in day-night temperature. Consistence presence and high concentration of sclerotia in smut balls signify its role in the epidemiology of the disease in the agroecology of Bangladesh.

Published: November 2023

The aim of this study was to identify polymorphisms in the entire coding regions of the Melanocortin 1 Receptor (MC1R) gene and their possible associations with coat color variants of the Black Bengal goat (BBG) of Bangladesh. Forty blood samples representing five distinct color variants of BBG (Solid Black, Toggenburg, Dutch Belt, White and Brown) were collected from Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka. Two PCR amplicons that harbored entire coding region were sequenced both forward and reverse directions. Multiple sequence alignment identified four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on Capra hircus reference sequence (MT186778.1). Among them, only one was identified as synonymous type (c.183C>T; p.61A) and the remaining three were non-synonymous in nature (c.676A>G, c.748G>T, and c.801C>G), causing amino acid substitutions as p.K226E, p.V250F, and p.C267W, respectively. Twelve haplotypes were defined by four substitutions where four haplotypes (Hap6, Hap7, Hap8, and Hap9) were found white-color goat-specific involving c.801C>G mutation that might be associated with white coat color phenotype of BBG. Furthermore, white goats had the highest haplotype (0.879±0.08) and nucleotide diversity (0.0017±0.0002). The UPGMA phylogenetic tree revealed two separate clusters, one of which included all color variants of BBG and major domestic goat populations (Capra hircus) from various countries. The haplotype sharing features suggest that the coat color phenotypes of BBG were not solely attributable to the MC1R gene. However, more detailed investigation with large samples from diverse populations across the country was required to draw a precise conclusion.
Knowledge, attitude, and practice of self-medication among undergraduate medical students in an Institute of National Importance in North India
Authors: Tewari Sachchidanand , Mukherjee Anirudh , Upadhyay Gaurav
Published: November 2023

Background: According to previous studies, self-medication is becoming increasingly common among medical undergraduates. Only a few studies, however, have been undertaken in Northern India.

Aims and Objectives: The current study set out to evaluate the undergraduate medical students’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of self-medication, as well as to look into any variations in knowledge and attitude (if any) among different subgroups of participants.

Materials and Methods: This was a questionnaire-based, descriptive study. The individuals (n = 137) were given a pre-validated questionnaire that included open- and closed-ended questions. IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (version 26) was used to conduct the data analysis, and the findings are presented as counts and percentages.

Results: The incidence of self-medication was 58.4%, which was very high. The most common reason for this was its usefulness for fever (91.2%). Antipyretics (82.5%), analgesics (63.7%), and antacids (48.7%) were the most regularly utilized drug groups. Seniors, classmates, and family members were the most prevalent sources of information. Common ailments included fever (91.2%), common cold, and cough (55%). Ironically, 41.6% of those surveyed opined that self-medication should be avoided.

Conclusion: Self-medication is more widespread among medical undergraduates, suggesting that they are more exposed to drug side effects than the general population. Medical students are supposed to be trained to be made aware of the need to avoid self-medication; hence, action needs to be taken.

Devido ao período pandêmico, a edição de 2020 do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), exigiu uma grande habilidade de adaptação por parte de todos. Docentes e gestão escolar se depararam com um cenário totalmente novo sem que tivessem um preparo adequado para lidar com a nova modalidade do ensino híbrido, passaram a ser mediadores diante dos novos problemas que foram se apresentando. Os licenciandos, participantes do PIBID, também tiveram que se adequar a esse novo modelo de ensino, atuando de forma remota nas escolas participantes, buscando ter contato com os estudantes, de modo a atuar em seu ensino durante esse período.  Diante desses desafios, desenvolvemos propostas, no PIBID, visando um resgate do interesse dos alunos através de temas mais próximos de suas realidades, por meio do uso das plataformas digitais. Apesar de todas as dificuldades apresentadas podemos verificar um resultado de certa forma satisfatório, pois conseguimos transpor os empecilhos além de aprender uma nova forma de ensinar e interagir com os alunos, utilizando ferramentas digitais, não criadas inicialmente para uso no processo de aprendizagem, no entanto, apropriadas para tal, nesse contexto descrito.

Grön humaniora
Authors: Nordlund Christer
Published: November 2023

Environmental humanities is a dynamic and rapidly growing post-disciplinary field of scholarship that brings together scholars, practices and theoretical perspectives from the humanities, social sciences and the fine arts. It analyses, explores and tackles questions related to the environment and all kinds of environmental problems, and it may thus be understood as a concerted response to the pressing environmental challenges of our time. This article gives a brief introduction to the field and the various ways it has been promoted and institutionalized in Sweden and abroad. It also introduces the articles in the present issue, written by the researchers Sverker Sörlin, Ebba Lisberg Jensen, Martin Hultman, Coppélie Cocq and Daniel Andersson, as well as a short essay and a review. Taken together, these texts represent one of the first publications on environmental humanities and its development, published in Swedish.
Grön humaniora
Authors: Sörlin Sverker
Published: November 2023

Better knowledge of the emergence and growth of the environmental humanities is important for the future direction and vitality of the field. In this article I argue, against a backdrop of a so far not so coherent historiography of the field, that it is possible to discern two complementary perspectives, one emphasizing internal factors within the humanities, the other emphasizing external factors. In the former I stress theoretical and normative features of recent tendencies in humanities research such as posthumanities, new materialism, postcolonial studies, feminist studies, justice, ecoracism, and several others including strong subdisciplinary contributions from e.g. environmental history, archaeology, eco-criticism, environmental anthropology. Eclecticism and the collective organization of a range of humanities approaches under the umbrella of the green humanities I read as an “evolutionary” extension and transformation of previous approaches from the environmental and social sciences to become useful for policy and practice on environment and climate. In the latter perspective I insist rather on the “symptomatic” nature of the environmental humanities. The argument here is that during the last decade there has been a transformation to a new research policy regime giving more space to responsibility, risk, and complexity, thus inviting care for global stewardship and environmental and resource management and climate. This is a global tendency, it is felt in Sweden as well and it provides a general stimulus for integrative, challenge oriented approaches across all science fields and this also includes the humanities. These two perspectives mutually reinforce each other and together help explain the rapid and forceful emergence of a green humanities agenda, which albeit requested from policy circles for a long time did not appear until the last decade. The emerging and solidifying field has bright opportunities although its dramatic eclecticism and bridge-building across theoretical and normative divides may over time require care and collaboration to secure prosperity, performance and usefulness to policy.
Gröna män?
Authors: Hultman Martin
Published: November 2023

Research demonstrates that gender configurations and environmental issues interact. Important studies have been conducted for example in ecofeminism, feminist techno-science and political ecology, focusing mainly on negative effects on women. Research on different forms of masculinities has, on the other hand, been modest, despite the fact that it is largely men who are responsible for our unsustainable world. The present article argues that it would be fruitful to develop masculinity studies within Environmental Humanities since this is an interdisciplinary field where different disciplines, such as cultural studies, environmental history, energy politics and literature studies, come together. Based on previous research on energy, environmental and climate politics, this article reveals three situated forms of masculinities, conceptualized as industrial, ecological and ecomodern masculinities, respectively. These masculinities are understood as always-in-the-making and part of material-semiotic antagonistic environmental discourses.

Published: November 2023

Sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesi, değerlendirmenin en önemli kriteri olmuştur. Bir sağlık sisteminde, kamu ve özel sektör hizmet sağlar ve genellikle toplumun sağlık hizmetlerinin kalitesini yükseltmede etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Irak'ın Erbil ilinde bulunan kamu ve özel hastaneleri sağlık hizmetleri kalitesi açısından sınıflandırmaktır. Bu çalışma, SERVQUAL boyutsal modele dayalı niceleyici kesitsel bir anket içermektedir. 2020 yılında Erbil ilinde kamu ve özel hastaneler de dâhil olmak üzere 11 farklı hastanenin tüm bölümlerinde 370 anket formu rastgele tabakalı örnekleme yöntemi ile hastalara dağıtılmıştır. Veriler, modeli değerlendirmek için faktör analizi ve ROC eğrisi ile diskriminant analizi kullanılarak IBM – SPSS 25 istatiksel analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Kamu ve özel hastanelerde faktör analizi, toplam varyansın % 64'ünü oluşturan yedi faktör tanımlamıştır. Diskriminant analizinin doğru sınıflandırma oranı % 78.1 olduğu, kamu hastaneleri ile özel hastaneleri birbirinden ayrıldığı görülmektedir. Analiz sonucunda, ROC eğrisi kriterinin ayırt edici modeli ve ROC eğrisi altındaki alanın AUC değeri 0.863 olarak elde edildi, bu da tanısal testin olağanüstü ayrımcılık taşıdığı anlamına gelmektedir. Değişkenler (X1: Hastanedeki modern donanım, X7: Hastane personelinin işlerini ilk anda yapılması ve X8: Hizmetlerin zamanında sağlanması) hasta memnuniyeti için faktör analizi ile diskriminant analizi arasında en önemli ve etkili değişkenlerdir. Sonuç olarak kamu ve özel hastaneler arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu söylenebilir.
Machine Learning-Based Momentum Strategy for High Frequency Trading and Buy/Sell Calls Using Algorithmic Trading
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: November 2023

Stock Market Prediction is beneficial to investors. It provides shareholders with useful assistance in making suitable decisions about whether to purchase or sell shares. Accurate stock price prediction is extremely challenging because of multiple factors. Stock prices are influenced by a variety of factors, but the price at any given time is determined by supply and demand in the market. Due to the growing volume of data, it is now impractical, if not impossible for humans to manually analyze data for certain tasks like predicting stock market movements, necessitating automation. The stock price data represents a financial time series data which becomes more difficult to predict due to its characteristics and dynamic nature. Thus, this also means that there is a lot of data to find patterns in. This gives rise to the concept of algorithmic trading, which uses automated, pre-programmed trading strategies to execute orders. Machine learning algorithms explore large amounts of data and search for a model that will achieve the programmer’s goal. Our project’s goal is to use machine learning to implement a momentum strategy. We attempted to predict trading signals using machine learning techniques based on a set of technical indicators and rules.

Authors: Paul Nissar Ahamd , Shah Dr. Parvaiz Ahmad
Published: November 2023

The study aims to examine the impact of training and development on organizational performance, with a mediating role of employee performance. The importance of Human Resource Management (HRM) practices in achieving organizational success has gained recognition, as organizations realize that it is people who drive their performance. However, many companies have not fully embraced HRM practices, including training and development, due to affordability, fear, or a lack of understanding of their value and contribution. The primary objective of HRM is to ensure organizational success through a competitive, competent, and self-motivated workforce. Rigorous HRM practices, particularly training and development, play a vital role in achieving this objective. Extensive research has been conducted to establish the connection between HRM practices and organizational performance, and numerous studies have found positive relationships between them. This study will be investigating the impact of training and development on an organizational performance. Additionally, the study aims to examine the mediating role of employee performance between HRM practices and organizational perceived performance. The findings of this study will be contributing to the existing body of knowledge on HRM practices and their impact on organizational performance. It will provide insights into the significance of training and development in enhancing employee performance and subsequently driving organizational success. The study will also shed light on the mediating role of employee performance in the relationship between HRM practices and organizational perceived performance. By understanding the linkages between training and development, employee performance, and organizational performance, organizations can make informed decisions about the implementation and improvement of HRM practices. Ultimately, this study aims to highlight the importance of effective HRM practices, particularly training, and development, in achieving organizational success in today's competitive business environment.

Emotional Intelligence and Coping in Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Sippy Ripan
Published: November 2023

Individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder struggle with emotion regulation and difficulty in accurately understanding facial expressions of others. This difficulty in regulating emotions can manifest as inappropriate anger, impulsiveness, and frequent mood swings. These behaviors may push others away and make it challenging to maintain loving and lasting relationships. Surprisingly, very little research has been carried out to explore the inter-relationships and interactions of coping and emotional intelligence in patients with borderline personality disorder. Aim: To study coping and emotional intelligence in patients with borderline personality disorder. Material and Methods: Cross sectional hospital based study, fifty patients with borderline personality disorder diagnosed as per DSM-V were selected by purposive sampling. 50 healthy matched subjects constituted the control group. Assessment was done using General Health Questionnaire, Brief COPE Questionnaire and Indian Adaptation of Emotional Intelligence Scale. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize and describe the characteristics of the data, including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of variability (standard deviation, range). Inferential statistics were used to make inferences about the population based on the sample data, including hypothesis testing (t-tests) and correlation analysis. The results of the analysis were presented in tables to facilitate interpretation and communication of the findings. Results: Significant differences were seen in Coping scores and Emotional Intelligence scores between the patients with borderline personality disorder group and normal control group. The patients with borderline personality disorder groups scored significantly low on coping and emotional intelligence in comparison with control group.

Depression is a mental condition that indicates emotional issues, including anger issues, unhappiness, boredom, appetite loss, lack of concentration, anxiety, etc. The quality of life of an individual may be negatively impacted by depression, which may ultimately lead to loss of health and life. According to the World Health Organization, there are 300 million depressed persons worldwide in 2022. The number of depression cases rose throughout the pandemic. It became important to detect depression in people accurately. During the construction of the model various machine learning techniques were applied. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Naive Bayes, K Nearest Neighbour (KNN), and Logistic Regression were used to test the accuracy of the model. Among all techniques, Logistic Regression had the highest accuracy. The proposed technique improved the accuracy of 0.79 in comparison with the other existing state of art. Physical health and mental health, both are equally important. Early detection of depression is necessary so that it can be treated in its early stage.

The pleomorphic adenoma is the most common benign neoplasm of the salivary glands, they can be larger or smaller, therefore, when its occurrence is in the smaller ones, the palate is the most affected site of the pathology. This article aims to carry out a descriptive case study of a patient with a diagnosis of Pleomorphic Adenoma located in the upper lip. A 55-year-old male patient, leucoderma, attended the Brazilian Dental Association (ABO/RJ - Campos dos Goytacazes) in 2022 in the course of Minor Oral Surgery. During the anamnesis, the patient mentioned the appearance of a slow-growing lesion in the upper left lip region during the COVID-19 pandemic. We conclude from this case study that the early diagnosis and treatment of any change in the oral cavity is of paramount importance. For pleomorphic adenoma, total excision of the lesion is the most indicated treatment.

Os impactos ambientais são considerados os principais fatores que influenciam no desvanecimento do ambiente natural. Quando ocorrem nas nascentes ou nos cursos dos rios tornam-se ameaças à saúde pública e contribuem para a perda de biodiversidade. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho consistiu no levantamento das nascentes do Rio Prata situadas dentro do IFMA - Campus Maracanã e na avaliação da qualidade ambiental das mesmas, visando fornecer subsídios necessários para as ações voltadas a sua manutenção e recuperação, além de contribuir para o planejamento de sua utilização. Logo, realizou-se levantamento e revisão das informações e dos tipos de uso e ocupação atuais do Rio da Prata, a seleção de indicadores de impacto ambiental (lixo, processos erosivos, preservação da vegetação; turbidez e odor da água), além da avaliação destes parâmetros em campo. Foram localizadas e demarcadas duas nascentes do Rio da Prata, que se encontram dentro do IFMA - Campus Maracanã. As nascentes foram consideradas com mínima ou pouca presença de impacto ambiental. No entanto, para os impactos identificados foram propostas algumas estratégias de manejo para amenizar ou eliminá-los nas nascentes estudadas, como o cumprimento legal e conservação das áreas de preservação permanente. As nascentes analisadas estão longe de residências e/ou indústrias além de não possuir atividades turísticas frequentes, ou seja, é certo concluir que as nascentes estão sem presença de impactos ambientais significativos.

Published: November 2023

Objective: The article explores issues surrounding the definition of legal world order and security in the post-Cold War era, examining the expanding concept of security within the context of globalization. It aims to analyze theoretical approaches to international security and its development in a changing global landscape.

 

Methods: The study employs a combination of dialectical and hermeneutic principles for analyzing the subject matter. It uses systemic-structural and functional methods to investigate the role of international organizations in global security. Various research methods, such as analogy, historicism, formal-logical analysis, and situational analysis, are applied to examine the issues under consideration.

 

Results: The article highlights several key findings, including the diminishing authority of the United Nations (UN) as a universal international organization in the present global context. It emphasizes the need for the international community to address the geopolitical changes and challenges of the 21st century. The current state of world politics is characterized by perpetual global instability, and existing peacekeeping and peacemaking mechanisms have shown limitations in addressing modern hybrid challenges and threats.

 

Conclusions: In conclusion, the article argues that the existing system for managing international relations is insufficient for the 21st century. It underscores the importance of streamlining relations between sovereign states, modernizing multilateral institutions, and establishing an effective oversight body to strengthen the global security system. The study advocates for the development of new international legal norms, including various aspects of international cooperation and the enhancement of international institutional structures to combat emerging global challenges. The future of humanity depends on the timely and effective implementation of these measures.

Background: Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is part of the normal biota of the human being, but under certain conditions it can produce diseases such as gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections for which is the main responsible. Enterobacteriaceae such as Escherichia are extended spectrum betalactamases (ESBL) producers, which makes their treatment difficult due to a high rate of resistance to antibiotics.Aim of the study: Identify resistance patterns against various antibiotics in Escherichia coli producers and non-producers of extended spectrum beta-lactamases in urinary infections in a population of the Toluca Valley, MexicoMaterial and methods: 155 samples were collected from patients with suspected urinary tract infection without exclusion criteria such as age or gender. Automated equipment was used for the identification of the etiological agent and sensitivity tests. For the determination of ESBL, the double disc technique was used.Results: 35 strains of Escherichia coli were obtained, of which 45.72 % have ESBL, these strains show 100 % resistance to betalactams, as well as high resistance to quinolones and tetracycline ranging from 70 to 100 %. On the other hand, the resistance shown by non-ESBL producing strains is variable both for betalactams and for other antibiotics.Conclusion: Treatment for urinary tract infections has become increasily difficult due to the high rate of resistance to antibiotics, mainly ESBL-producing strains such as the E coli strains in the present study. Where high rates of resistance to different antibiotics used in clinical practice are shown.
