Un análisis de las actitudes, percepciones e intenciones que llevan a emprender en los países de la Alianza del Pacífico
Authors: Aguilar Barceló José Gabriel , Mungaray Lagarda Alejandro , Severiano Quintana Edgar Noel
Published: February 2023

Se estudia el efecto de distintos motivadores de la actividad emprendedora relacionados con las actitudes, percepciones e intenciones de los individuos, en los países integrantes de la Alianza del Pacífico (México, Chile, Colombia y Perú). El análisis se basa en estadística descriptiva y modelos probabilísticos tipo logit a partir de los datos del Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Se encontró que la acción de emprender está asociada de forma negativa con la aversión al riesgo y la falta de exposición al esfuerzo, y de forma positiva con la capacidad empresarial, que resultó ser la variable que mejor explica la motivación hacia el emprendimiento. Adicionalmente, la evidencia sugiere que un menor desarrollo estaría asociado con una mayor percepción de capacidades, lo que, a su vez, podría tener que ver con el incremento de la autoconfianza de los individuos y con una subestimación de los riesgos. Estos hallazgos son solo parcialmente consistentes con la literatura y son muestra de que el emprendimiento tiene un origen multifactorial y dinámico, donde las percepciones, modificadas por el entorno, juegan un rol importante. Estos elementos deben ser tomados en cuenta por pretender construir un mercado regional integrado, basado en el apoyo de emprendedores y pequeñas empresas.
Abstract
We study the effect of different motivators of entrepreneurial activity related to attitudes, perceptions, and intentions of individuals in the Pacific Alliance countries (México, Chile, Colombia y Perú). The analysis is based on descriptive statistics and logit regressions with data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. We found that the decision of entrepreneurship is negatively correlated with risk aversion and lack of exposure to effort. Furthermore, it is positively correlated with entrepreneurial ability, which is the variable that best explains motivation to become entrepreneur. In addition, the evidence suggests that less development is associated with a higher perception of capabilities, which in turn may be related to increased self-confidence and an underestimation of risks. The findings of this study are only partially consistent with that of the literature, and they suggest that entrepreneurship is a multifaceted and dynamic process influenced by perceptions that can be modified by the environment. Taking these elements into consideration is necessary in order to create an integrated regional market that is based on the support of entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Authors: Chavarín Rodríguez Rubén , Tlatoa Chávez Aurea
Published: February 2023

The general objective of this paper is to estimate, in Mexico’s case, the impact of commercial bank credit on economic activity in the whole manufacturing sector, and seven selected manufacturing industries. Unlike the literature that has studied the effects of bank credit in the Mexican economy, this research finds evidence (through ARDL-bounds models) of a positive and significant impact of bank credit on production for the whole sector and the following industries: i) food, ii) beverage and tobacco, iii) paper, iv) non-metallic mineral-based products, and v) transport equipment manufacturing; along with significant effects from fixed investment in machinery and equipment, and the real interest rate. In addition, we did not find evidence that loan concentration affects manufacturing production. Due to these results, this study postulates that bank credit matters as a stimulus of industrial activity, and it would be worth designing policies that strengthen and deepen such impacts.
Resumen
El objetivo general de este trabajo es estimar, para el caso de México, el impacto del crédito bancario sobre la actividad económica del sector manufacturero y de siete subsectores manufactureros seleccionados. A diferencia de la literatura que ha estudiado los efectos del crédito bancario en la economía mexicana, este trabajo encuentra evidencia (a través de modelos ARDL-bounds) de un impacto positivo y significativo del crédito bancario sobre la producción para el total del sector y las siguientes industrias: i) alimentos, ii) bebidas y tabaco, iii) papel, iv) productos minerales no metálicos, y v) producción de equipo de transporte; junto con efectos significativos de la inversión fija en maquinaria y equipo, y la tasa de interés real. Adicionalmente, no se halló evidencia de que la concentración del crédito afecte a la producción manufacturera. Debido a estos resultados, este trabajo postula que el crédito bancario sí importa como estímulo de la actividad industrial, y valdría la pena diseñar políticas que fortalezcan y profundicen tales impactos.

Published: February 2023

Adrenal lesions are usually discovered incidentally during other health screenings and are usually benign. However, it is vital to take precautions when a malignant adrenal lesion is detected. Especially deep learning models developed in the last ten years give successful results on medical images. In this paper, adrenal lesion characterization on T1-weighted magnetic resonance abdomen images was aimed using convolutional neural network (CNN) which is one of the deep learning methods. Firstly, effects of important model parameters are assessed on performance of CNN, so optimum CNN model is obtained for classification of adrenal lesions. For a fixed number of convolution filters determined in the first stage of the study, CNN model implemented by different kernel sizes were trained. According to the best result obtained, this time the kernel size was kept constant, and experiments were made for different filter numbers. Finally, studies were carried out with CNN structures of different depths and the results were compared. As a result of the studies, when filter is selected as [5 20], the best results in the trainings conducted with a single-block CNN structure are obtained 0.97, 0.90, 0.98, 0.90, 0.90, and 0.94, for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1-score, and AUC score, respectively. The study was compared with the studies in the literature, and it was seen that it was superior to them.

Cancer is one of the non-communicable diseases that causes the most death in Indonesia. In a study conducted by researchers from Northwestern University on 686 breast cancer patients, 36% of women chose to stop their treatment because they could not tolerate the side effects of the drug. The patient's side effects were joint pain, hot flashes, increased weight gain, and nausea. Mentangor plant (Calophyllum rufigemmatum) is a plant that grows a lot in Bangka Belitung and has been used by the people of Bangka Belitung as a traditional medicine to treat skin diseases. Research on the bark of the mentangor stem from Bangka Belitung has never been carried out regarding its phytochemical content and potential as an anticancer breast. For this reason, it is necessary to know breast cancer's pharmacological effects and phytochemicals on Mentangor Bangka Belitung's stem bark. Phytochemical identification was carried out qualitatively by observing changes in the test sample. Based on the results of phytochemical screening, several reactions showed that each test of the ethanol extract of the stem bark of Mentangor contained tannins, phenolics, flavonoids, and alkaloids. The measurement results of the IC50 value of inhibition of the proliferation ethanol extract with a diameter of 1 cm, 7 cm, and 17 cm against MCF-7 breast cancer cells were 326,195 g/mL, respectively; 186.178 g/mL; and 178.090 g/mL.

Authors: Habibi M.A Muazar
Published: February 2023

In the globalization era, education requires schools to create students who can think critically in terms of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) and carry out their activities independently. For instance, the rapid development of technology has changed how people communicate, interact, eat, and perform other things. This causes education to become important in preparing students to be independent. Therefore, teachers need to follow the latest developments regarding strategies, approaches, or methods in the learning process. Agyei, D. D., & Voogt, J. (2012). Education is an effort used in helping students to develop their potential, abilities, and talents. This study aims to examine the effect of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) on the creativity of children aged 5-6 years at Lenterahati Islamic boarding school. In this study, the STEAM method is the independent (X) and creativity is the dependent variable (Y). This instrument preparation is known as the Torrance test of creative thinking consisting of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration skills. A total of 25 children in the preschool were selected as the participants using a pretest and posttest. The results showed there is a difference in students' creativity before and after receiving STEAM treatment. This method uses loose parts which help to increase children's creative thinking. High creativity is characterized by fluent, flexible, original, and detailed skills. Therefore, the use of STEAM in learning can increase children's creativity and provide them the ability to solve problems as well as connect with the environment.

Kondisi lingkungan sekitar di Desa Sandik dimana banyak terdapat limbah organik hasil pertanian maupun perkebuan yang tidak termanfaatkan dan hanya ditumpuk saja menjadi peluang untuk dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi sesuatu yang bernilai. Salah satunya adalah menjadikannya sebagai media tanam biopot (biodegradable pot) ramah lingkungan. Dalam pembuatan biopot sendiri dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan berbagai limbah biomassa seperti serabut kelapa yang banyak terdapat di Desa Sandik ataupun kombinasi dari beberapa biomassa lainnya seperti serabut kelapa, jerami padi, dedaunan, dan kotoran unggas. Selain dari bahan tersebut, biopot media tanam juga dapat terbuat dari kompos. Pemanfaatan limbah tersebut sebagai biopot menjadikan limbah tersebut memiliki nilai guna yang sangat bermanfaat, selain itu juga dapat membantu mengatasi permasalahan limbah yang keberadannya cukup melimpah. Melalui kegiatan pengabdian ini, tim pengabdian memberikan penyuluhan, dan pendampingan pelatihan dalam mengolah limbah organik menjadi produk biopot ramah lingkungan. Dalam kegiatan pengabdian ini juga dikenalkan suatu alat pendukung dalam menghasilkan biopot tersebut. Alat tersebut berupa alat pencetak biopot dengan prinsip tekanan. Biopot yang dihasilkan dinilai sangat praktis oleh peserta pengabdian karena sifatnya yang dapat langsung ditanam ke dalam tanah tanpa harus membuka wadahnya terlebih dahulu, seperti halnya penggunaan polybag. Pengenalan teknologi berupa alat cetak biopot memberikan motivasi yang tinggi bagi para peserta untuk mulai memperhatikan keberadaan limbah organic yang dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi produk baru berupa biopot dengan bantuan alat cetak yang dapat mempercepat proses dan menghasilkan biopot dengan kepadatan yang sesuai.

Objective: To determine frequency of microalbuminuria and relative determination of glycated hemoglobin (HBA1C) in Type II diabetes mellitus patients. Study Design: Descriptive Cross Sectional. Study Setting: Three Different Hospitals Based in Sindh Pakistan. Study Period: March-August 2021. Material & Methods: After selection through non-probability purposive sample technique, demographic details of all patients were noted in a written questionnaire. All the confirmed patients of type-II diabetes mellitus were then tested for microalbuminuria and glycated hemoglobin in parallel with the disease progression. All the collected information was analyzed in SPSS ver. 22. Results: Among 165 enrolled cases, 89 (54%) type II diabetic patients were normoalbuminuric, 53 (32 %) Microalbuminuria and 14 % macroalbuminuria. Males were at greater risk (65%) of developing type II diabetes mellitus in comparison to females (35%). In total 46 type II diabetes mellitus cases with microalbuminuria represent raised HBA1C levels AT95% CI. Conclusion: Prevalence of microalbuminuria among type II diabetic patients visiting the tertiary care hospital is 32.1%. Patients with higher HbA1c or poor glycemic control are present with microalbuminuria.

Objective: To corelate the Hb F levels with clinical parameters of patients with sickle cell disease and sickle beta thalassemia. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Chughtai Institute of Pathology. Period: June 2020 to December 2021. Material & Methods: A total of 150 diagnosed cases of sickle cell disease and sickle beta thalassemia were included in the study. Hemoglobin electrophoresis was performed and Hb F levels were noted. Detailed history of patients regarding their complications was taken. Data analysis was done using SPSS 23.0. Correlation of Hb F with Hb levels, splenomegaly, other symptoms and number of transfusions required was observed using Pearson test taking P value <0.05 as significant. Results: A significant correlation was observed between Hb F levels and Hb levels, splenomegaly, joint pains, jaundice, acute chest syndrome and number of transfusions required by the patient. Conclusion: We observed that high levels of Hb F in patients of sickle cell disease have fewer complications and have less need for repeated blood transfusions. Therefore, we recommend that Hb F levels must be noted at the time of diagnosis so that early treatment with hydroxyurea can be started to increase Hb F levels.

Objective: To determine the frequency of medical complications after renal transplantation in recipients. Study Design: Prospective Cohort study. Setting: Nephrology Unit, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur. Period: December 2018 to March 2022. Material & Methods: All patients undergoing renal transplant during the study period were included. Patients unwilling to be part of this study or losing follow-ups were excluded. At the time of enrollment, all patients underwent pre-transplant work-up and routine investigations. Baseline characteristics of renal transplant recipients and donors were noted while frequency of post renal transplant medical complications was also noted. Results: In a total of 39 renal transplant recipients, 32 (82.1%) were male while the mean age was 30.31±7.21 years. Mean duration of dialysis before transplantation was 6.81±5.15 months (ranging between 0-24 months). Mean age of the live donors was 35.90±9.36 years. Mean duration of follow up was 26.15±11.62 months. Renal graft dysfunction was reported in 10 (25.6%) patients. Most common medical complications reported in post-transplantation period were sepsis 19 (48.7%), anemia 19(48.7%), secondary polycythemia 10 (25.6%), CMV infection 4 (10.3%) and new onset diabetes mellitus 3 (7.7%). Mortality was reported in 2 (5.1%) renal transplant recipients and the cause of mortality in both those patients was sepsis. Conclusion:  Medical complications are common after renal transplantation. Sepsis being more common in 1st6-months post-transplant period. Early recognition and management of these complications is essential for decreasing mortality and morbidity of patients.

Objective: To evaluate the changes in hematological parameters in healthy male smokers. Study Design: Descriptive Cross - Sectional study. Setting: HITEC – IMS Taxila. Period: December 2021 to May 2022. Material & Methods: Hematological Parameters including complete blood counts (WBC, RBC, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC, HCT, RDW, PLT), Differential Leukocyte Count, ESR and PT, APTT were done in each case. The data were entered and analyzed on SPSS version 22. Results: Mean age of smokers was 28.72 ± 6.79 years while mean age of non-smokers was 30.63 ± 6.73 years. Duration of smoking was between 4 to 28 years and number of cigarettes was between 5 to 50 / day. Among hematological parameters; WBC count, Lymphocyte count, RBC count, hemoglobin, MCV, MCH and ESR were significantly raised; while neutrophil count was significantly low in smokers as compared to non-smokers. It was also observed that values of WBC count and prothrombin time were significantly higher in individuals with a smoking history of more than 10 years. Conclusion: In conclusion, smoking has adverse effects on the various hematological parameters that have been reported to be associated with a greater risk for developing hazardous effects on health. So, we suggest that physicians should evaluate their patients at every visit and strictly recommend them early cessation of smoking so that we could prevent our young generation from future ailments.

Tempeh has been one of the most widely accepted fermented products and usually produced by fermenting soybeans inoculated with Rhizopus oligosporus / Rhizopus oryzae. Tempeh could be prepared with legumes other than soybean thereby increasing the acceptability and digestibility of the common legume. Dolichos lablab is a herbaceous plant with high nutritional benefits and still under-used in various countries because of anti-nutrient factors, such as enzyme (trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase) inhibitors, phytic acid, flatulence factors, etc. A processing technique that removes anti nutritional factors to safe level will improve the nutritional quality of this legume. The purpose of this study is to prepare and standardize tempeh using fresh Dolichos lablab and Arachis hypogea in 75:25 ratio and to evaluate the physio-chemical, nutritional and organoleptic quality of tempeh and its value added products viz., tempeh fry and tempeh gravy The quality analysis of this tempeh had 50.03 per cent of moisture, 20.13 g of carbohydrate, 19.37g of protein, 4.48 g of fat, 3.00 g of dietary fiber. On comparing the fresh tempeh, protein content of dried tempeh has increased considerably by 41.24 per cent and in the value added product viz., tempeh gravy and tempeh fry, protein content has increased by 16.67per cent and 5.09 per cent respectively. There was 100 per cent removal of anti nutritional factors viz., tannin and phytic acid due to various processing techniques. The overall acceptability of tempeh products was highly acceptable with score point of 8.0 ± 0.5 /9.0 and 7.5± 0.5 /9.0 for tempeh fry and gravy respectively. The unit cost production of 200 g of tempeh was Rs.50.00 only.
