La mediación laboral en los conflictos individuales de trabajo
Authors: López Diego Humberto , Montalvo-Ramos Fernando Andrés
Published: February 2024

En el contexto laboral, es común encontrarse con disputas, tanto a nivel grupal como individual. Estas disputas pueden originarse por el no cumplimiento de compromisos, el quebrantamiento de las condiciones pactadas en el contrato, así como por situaciones en las que la participación no es voluntaria. Por tanto, el objetivo de la presente investigación es analizar el manejo de los problemas laborales individuales en Ecuador a través de una investigación de leyes y políticas sobre mediación laboral previa. La metodología de investigación fue cualitativa, a través del método documental en libros, revistas científicas, leyes, códigos, normativas y otras fuentes relevantes. Como resultados se determinó que dentro de la normativa legal y jurídica del Ecuador se cuenta con la mediación para la resolución de conflictos colectivos, pero no se involucran de manera explícita los conflictos individuales. Se concluye que es importante considerar la mediación previa como una alternativa que mitigue los vacíos legales y jurídicos que son referentes a lo concerniente a la resolución de conflictos de índole individual.

Diesel to Solar Irrigation System: Economic, Environmental, and Social Acceptability Analyses by Small-Scale Farmers of Calapan, Oriental Mindoro
Authors: Guno Charmaine Samala
Published: February 2024

Solar irrigation systems are sustainable practices that can improve the well-being of local communities and enhance the resilience of agriculture to climate change while reducing environmental impacts. Due to its high investment cost, small-scale farmers are inclined to use traditional fossil-based irrigation systems that can harm humans and the environment. This study aims to analyze the environmental impacts, economic feasibility, and social acceptability of shifting agricultural practices from diesel-fueled to solar irrigation systems. Taking the perspective of small-scale farmers from Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, results found that solar irrigation system has a higher initial investment but lower maintenance and operational costs. These resulted in an attractive economic feasibility of the project with Php 19,693 of fuel cost savings per hectare per year, a project net present value of Php 10,214 per hectare, a payback period of 8.27 years, and returns on investment at 110%. Additionally, shifting to a solar irrigation system significantly reduces the greenhouse gas emissions from diesel at 199.78 CO2 eq/ha/yr, and avoids air pollutant emissions at 14.91 g/ha/yr particulate matter, 2.98 g/ha/yr nitrogen oxides,193.82 g/ha/yr sulfur oxides, and 149.09 g/ha/yr carbon monoxide. Despite the lack of in-depth environmental awareness, small-scale farmers are interested in investing in solar irrigation systems with 68% social acceptability. Results provide bases for recommendations on promoting more human ecologically and sustainable agriculture irrigation systems in the Philippines and other developing countries.

Authors: Hadline Kiruba.V  , Suresh S. Priscilla
Published: February 2024

Research on probiotics for aquatic animals is growing along with the demand for environmentally friendly aquaculture. Probiotics have been defined as live microbial supplements that improve the health of humans and terrestrial animals [1]. The micro biota in the digestive tract of fish and crustaceans is particularly dependent on the external environment due to the flow of water through the digestive tract. The need to increase disease resistance, growth of aquatic organisms and feed efficiency has led to the use of probiotics in aquaculture. In recent years, the use of probiotics in aquaculture has begun to increase [2]. There is documented evidence that probiotics can improve nutrient digestibility, increase stress tolerance and promote reproduction. Unlike previous publications, this study focuses on the role of soil probiotic bacteria isolated from the Cauvery basin in Tiruchirapalli district. Isolated microorganisms - Nitrosococcus and Neisseria were tested for their special role in aquaculture, mainly in tilapia fish (Oreochromis sp.). This study also improves the bioremediation capacity of the isolated soil bacteria, which was demonstrated by testing the water quality parameters of the probiotic used. water environment Fish growth and mortality were also measured. It was clearly observed that the use of an isolated soil probiotic from a cave river basin promoted the longevity of tilapia fish. Thus, the cultivation and use of soil probiotic bacteria in aquaculture is a promising approach in modern science.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Unemployment among Educated People with Disabilities: An Empirical Analysis
Authors: Abid Mehdi , Ben-Salha Ousama , Gasmi Karim , Alnor Nasareldeen Hamed Ahmed
Published: February 2024

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on unemployment is a subject of debate among researchers and policymakers. This study investigates how AI affects unemployment among educated people with disabilities in 33 countries from 2004 to 2021. Several conclusions have been reached. First, both static and dynamic panel data estimators show that AI reduces aggregate unemployment and unemployment among educated men with disabilities. In contrast, there is no significant impact on the unemployment of educated women with disabilities. Second, the panel smooth transition regression model provides compelling evidence for the existence of two regimes and a nonlinear impact of AI on unemployment among educated women with disabilities. The impact is not significant when AI is low (first regime), but the situation changes when AI exceeds a given threshold level (second regime). Therefore, educated women with disabilities may have more opportunities to integrate into the job market due to the increased adoption of AI. Countries are recommended to foster an employment-friendly environment that promotes inclusion and equitable opportunity for educated people with disabilities by developing and encouraging the adoption of AI technologies.

Matrices with a Diagonal Commutator
Authors: Martínez-Pérez Armando , Torres-Vega Gabino
Published: February 2024

It is well known that there are no two matrices with a diagonal commutator. However, the commutator can behave as if it is diagonal when acting on a particular vector. We discuss pairs of matrices that give rise to a diagonal commutator when applied to a given arbitrary vector. Some properties of these matrices are discussed. These matrices have additional, continuous eigenvalues and eigenvectors than the dimension of the matrix, and their inverse also has this property. Some of these matrices are discrete approximations of the derivative and integration of a function and are exact for the exponential function. We also determine the adjoint of the obtained discrete derivative.

Biologics: Beyond the Basics
Authors: T. Kidron Ariel , P. Gulotta Anthony , F. Land Michael
Published: February 2024

Biologics are novel targeted therapies aimed at blocking specific cells or proteins created by the immune system that mediate the inflammatory process. Currently, the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved 12 different biologics that are administered either through intravenous infusion or intramuscularly for the treatment and prevention of psoriasis and arthritic psoriasis. These biologics categorically inhibit different cytokines, mainly IL-23, IL-17A, and IL-17F, that are activated and mediate the psoriasiform process with better long-term effectiveness and reduced side effects as compared to traditional systemic and topical steroids. The benefit of biologics also extends to a larger time interval between medication dosing as patients may achieve therapeutic levels for weeks to months before needing another dose. Transition to biologics from standard therapy should be considered for the right patients who have failed to improve, however with caution towards inherently immunocompromised patients as biologics may increase the risk of developing infections through compounded immune system suppression. This risk can be stratified with prophylactic blood tests, TB testing, and other examinations while on the biologics to ensure proper patient safety and therapeutic benefit.
Perspective Chapter: How can Psycholinguistic Researches Respond To Societal Needs
Authors: Kong Lingda , Jiang Xiaoming
Published: February 2024

This chapter examines prevailing trends in applied psycholinguistics centered on two pressing real-world imperatives—fostering equitable multilingual development and enabling clinical rehabilitation after language impairment. It first delineates how psycholinguistic approaches illuminate the intricate cognitive mechanisms underlying bilingual language representation, processing, and executive control during code-switching. Persistent challenges in validating assessments of multifaceted proficiency across languages are also discussed. Next, neural correlates of speech-language recovery are detailed, including insights from neuroimaging on how interventions harnessing both cognitive capacities and language networks can optimize outcomes. Additional coverage touches on augmenting naming accuracy in anomia through working memory training protocols. Ultimately, priorities in applied psycholinguistic research are rapidly transitioning from purely theoretical models toward substantively advancing educational accessibility and communication disorder interventions via illuminating authentic dynamics of language usage across diverse cultural settings. However, substantial lacunas remain in accounting for individual variability, motivational influences, and societal forces shaping both multilingual attainment and rehabilitation efficacy. Progress necessitates interdisciplinary collaboration integrating psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspectives to construct cohesive solutions that equitably benefit all global communities.
Antibiotic resistance, susceptibility testing and stewardship in Helicobacter pylori infection
Authors: Ka Lam Lok , Shing Cheung Ka
Published: February 2024

It is promising to observe a worldwide decrease in the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), yet consistent efforts are required to enhance treatment regimens in accordance with antibiotic stewardship in the era of growing antibiotic resistance. Various molecular mechanisms are responsible for antibiotic resistance, and thanks to technological advancements, our understanding of these mechanisms has improved, which facilitated the assessment of antibiotic susceptibility to H. pylori. Progress made in next-generation sequencing technology could potentially herald a new era, encouraging the routine use of non-invasive tests to gather data on antibiotic resistance. It is crucial that studies and clinical guidelines ensure the proposed treatment can consistently meet an acceptable level of eradication rate, taking into account the variations in antibiotic resistance across different populations. Future investigations should strive to refine the duration and dosage and reduce side effects of treatment regimens. Through personalized medicine, better treatment strategies can be formulated. It is equally important to actively encourage patient adherence to these treatments through all available strategies. Collaboration among local, regional, and international bodies is necessary to reinforce antibiotic stewardship in H. pylori treatment.

Authors: Osewe Akubor Emmanuel , Amili Akubor Beatrice , Evaristus Awoyera Funmilayo
Published: February 2024

Extant studies have established that in Africa (with specific reference to Esan people, southwest Nigerian area), the societies from time immemorial developed indigenous or traditional methods/ways of processing farm products to ready-made food for consumption. Analysis shows that one of such was the processing of cassava (Manihot esculenta) to various food items, which include Gari/garri (Cassava flakes), Akpu/fufu (fermented cassava product), Bobozi/Tapioka (Cassava chips), Elubo/Lafun (Cassava flour) amongst others. In all this process, the women folks are the ones that are largely involved. This chapter is thus an attempt at interrogating the processes involved in the production of one of the most popular sources of carbohydrate Gari from Cassava amongst Esan agrarian societies of southwest Nigeria. This chapter tries as much as possible to interrogate how the women using local technology and fabricated devices are able to process and produce cassava related food for both family consumption and commercial purpose. The qualitative method is used for this particular research. Data obtained from primary and secondary sources were deployed to carry out the study with an analytical and narrative historical approach. This includes historical, descriptive and analytical approaches based on gathered evidence. The result shows well outline methods adopted in producing this food item so as to make sure it is nutritious, marketable and can be preserved using local technology.

Published: February 2024

This is the story about a person now in his 80s. He was born with a congenital aortic valve defect. Over his lifetime, the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease improved dramatically. Recently, the author corresponded with a number of patients undergoing heart valve replacements today and found all to be concerned about how long they would live and complications they would have with a replacement valve. The author’s experiences should help put valve replacement recipients’ minds at ease and help physicians address their patients worries and concerns. He describes procedures from the patient’s perspective for implanting a pacemaker, getting an ablation, and being evaluated for a TAVR. The author is living in the third year with his replacement valve. He is on his 40th year with a pacemaker. He found modern medicine and physicians to be miraculous in many ways and is grateful for the added years given to his life.
Ascending Aortic Aneurysm in Relation to Aortic Valve Phenotype
Authors: Freiholtz David , Eriksson Per , M. Björck Hanna
Published: February 2024

Being born with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a significant risk factor for developing an ascending aortic aneurysm (AscAA). Research has uncovered different mechanisms influencing AscAA development in BAV-patients compared to those with normal tricuspid aortic valves (TAV). BAV-associated AscAA may result from intrinsic hemodynamic or genetic alterations, possibly even embryonic origins. During embryonic development, neural crest cells and the second heart field contribute to the ascending aorta’s formation, with defective signaling potentially increasing susceptibility to aneurysm development. BAV can manifest with different phenotypes, impacting clinical outcomes. The degenerative AscAA in TAV-patients differs from BAV-associated AscAA, marked by fibrosis, smooth muscle cell loss, and inflammation. AscAA in TAV-patients rarely appears in those with aortic stenosis, suggesting a link between aortic valve disease and degenerative AscAA.

Authors: Ahmad Abdarrazik Mohsena , Mohamad Taha Khaled
Published: February 2024

The achievable rate of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a crucial predictor of treatment time, with most studies estimating 1 mm of movement every month. Accelerating OTM is important due to the annual increase in adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment, as they are not growing and have slower rates of tissue metabolism and regeneration. Various surgical and nonsurgical techniques have been used to accelerate tooth movement by interfering with biological pathways affecting bone cell activity. Approaches to OTM acceleration can be invasive, minimal, and micro- or non-invasive, and can be achieved through pharmacological agents, physical devices, vibration, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound, direct electric current, and photobiomodulation.
Changing Sedentary Behavior in Children and Adolescents: Understanding Research and Alternative Clues and Cues for Behavioral Formation and Change
Authors: Meek Geoffrey
Published: February 2024

As children and adolescents who are identified as sedentary or physically inactive fall below the established world-wide physical activity guidelines for daily levels of physical activities, there is a need to examine factors that will influence the formation and change of sedentary behavior. This chapter is an analytical identification and appraisal of recent research and alternative approaches toward changing sedentary and inactive behavior and is founded on two premises: the first is that underlying concepts-related sedentary behavior are discussed and understood and the second is that effective and successful methodological interventions identified in four recent systematic reviews of 310 studies involving over a million children and adolescents that focused on a plethora of health, physical activity, and other related parameters leave clues that generate cues aimed at reducing sedentary and increasing physical activity behaviors. In this chapter, clues and cues related to conceptual and methodological factors, intervention development and evaluation, and alternative approaches with the aim of increasing the physical activity and healthy lifestyle behaviors and decreasing sedentary behaviors of children and adolescents are examined.

Authors: Zuraidah
Published: February 2024

The journey has been winding and full of challenges since its formation until its current state which has made history an interesting study material. Moreover, recently there has been a group of people who doubt the existence of PPKn. Due to the many abuses and betrayals of Pancasila and Citizenship Education, complete human development has been hampered. And there are also those who question the success of PPKn teaching on the morals of students in particular and the wider community in general. This research uses three rounds of action research. Each round consists of 4 stages, namely: design, activities and observations, reflection and revision. The target of this research is class XI students. TB 2. Civics academic year. The data obtained is in the form of formative test results, observation sheets of teaching and learning activities. From the results of the analysis, it was found that student learning achievement increased from cycle I to cycle III, namely, cycle I (67.44%), cycle II (79.01%), cycle III (90.70%). The conclusion of this research is that cooperative learning methods can have a positive influence on the achievement and learning motivation of class XI.TB.2 students and this learning model can be used as an alternative for PPKn learning. This research was carried out at SMKN Meukek, South Aceh Regency.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infectious disease caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. TB sufferers feel sad because they receive statements about disease transmission which can give rise to negative perceptions and cause stress. Effective coping mechanisms can influence the patient's self-efficacy towards healing. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between coping mechanisms and self-efficacy in TB sufferers at the Tamansari Public Health Center, Tasikmalaya City, Indonesia. The population in this study was people with TB disease. Total sample was 41 respondents with a random sampling technique. Quantitative research and cross-sectional method used in this study. The research results showed that the majority of TB sufferers had adaptive coping mechanisms with high self-efficacy. The results of the Chi-Square test obtained a p-value of 0.001 < 0.05, meaning that there was a relationship between coping mechanisms and self-efficacy in TB sufferers. Coping mechanisms can influence sufferers' self-confidence in their abilities, adaptive coping mechanisms can make TB sufferers have high self-confidence to achieve optimal recovery. The results of this research are expected to play a role in providing health education and family support to sufferers to increase sufferers' confidence in recovery.

Xylanase is an extracellular enzyme that is capable of hydrolyzing xylan (hemicellulose) into xylose and xylo-oligosaccharides. Xylanase can be produced by microbes through a fermentation process, the microbes used are thermophilic bacteria. Thermophilic bacteria are microorganisms that are capable of producing thermostable enzymes through fermentation. The bacteria used are MSS11, MS 16 and MS 18. These thermophilic bacteria can live at temperatures above 45°C-80°C. To determine specific enzyme activity, enzyme and protein activity values were tested using a 540 nm (enzyme) and 750 nm (protein) septovotometer. The method used in this research is descriptive in triplicate. The research was carried out at the Microbiology Laboratory, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Padang State University on December 23 2023. Beechwood medium which had been mixed with MSS 11, MS 16, and MS 18 bacteria was then incubated at temperatures of 55℃, 65℃ and 75℃ so that specific enzyme activity was obtained. Of these three temperatures, the optimum specific enzyme activity of xylanase is 65℃, where the specific enzyme value obtained at 65℃ is 3.31 U/mg. Meanwhile, at low temperatures, namely at 55℃, the enzymatic reaction is slow, namely it has an enzyme activity value of 1.02 U/mg. Finally, at a temperature of 75, there was a decrease in specific enzyme activity, where the specific enzyme activity value was 3.12 U/mg.

Authors:   United Nations Environment Programme
Published: February 2024

The aim of this report is to demonstrate how spatial planning approaches can be used to support the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework specifically focusing on the marine realm. Practical evidence, derived from case studies, of how spatial planning, such as marine spatial planning or integrated coastal zone management, can contribute to solving issues relevant to the targets is provided. Spatial planning approaches provide a practical framework through which to identify and address the interconnections between different targets, potentially helping to streamline efforts to deliver against the wider global biodiversity framework. The report focusses on the following targets in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework illustrating those that are directly relevant to spatial planning and those which may have a less obvious link.
