La determinación de perfiles de riesgo académico a través de la medición de diversos factores considerados relevantes en el estudio de la retención y la deserción han sido un trabajo continuo de las instituciones de educación superior. La definición de los constructos y la creación de los instrumentos adecuados son los principales retos que deben ser abordados desde cada institución, debido a que los perfiles de los estudiantes llegan a variar ampliamente entre regiones de un mismo país.

El presente estudio describe la construcción y validación del Cuestionario Psicopedagógico de Antecedentes Académicos (CPAA), instrumento que aborda los constructos actuales para medir los factores generales de riesgo que puedan orientarnos en la creación de perfiles específicos de alumnos. Este instrumento es un acercamiento general al inicio de un proceso de definición de perfiles de alumnos que ingresan a la universidad. Se realizó el análisis de exploración y de validación en una muestra de 630 participantes.  El instrumento consta de 84 ítems que abordan los factores: académico, personal y vocacional. Como evidencia de consistencia interna de alfa de Cronbach calculado tomando todos los ítems como una sola dimensión fue de 0.84, y el ω_t fue de 0.88 (ω_h= 0.49), indicando en general una adecuada consistencia interna.

Se realizaron tres modelos de regresión lineal donde se tomaron los datos obtenidos del cuestionario junto con tres métricas institucionales: ausentismo, promedio de aprovechamiento escolar semestral y deserción al segundo semestre. los cuales muestran que el área personal del cuestionario es estadísticamente significativa en dichas correlaciones lo cual puede constituir un valor predictivo para los indicadores institucionales considerados en el estudio que se presenta y que pueden servir como base para la caracterización de la población de nuevo ingreso a la educación superior.

Published: April 2023

Okrzemki z powodu powszechności, ale i specyficzności występowania w środowiskach wodnych oraz ogromnej trwałości skorupki będącej podstawą do ich rozróżnienia gatunkowego mogą być istotnym czynnikiem rozstrzygającym o diagnozowaniu utonięcia jako przyczyny śmierci. W niniejszej publikacji wykorzystano protokoły sądowo-lekarskich oględzin zwłok oraz protokoły badania na obecność okrzemek w płucu i nerce sporządzone w latach 2015–2017 w Zakładzie Medycyny Sądowej Warszawskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego, który jest jedynym ośrodkiem w Polsce przeprowadzającym rutynowo test okrzemkowy. Wykazano, iż test ten może być głównym czynnikiem rozstrzygającym co do przyczyny zgonu w przypadku badania zwłok objętych zaawansowanymi późnymi przemianami pośmiertnymi lub w sytuacji, gdy płuca doznały rozległych uszkodzeń.

Zdarzenia drogowe z udziałem pojazdów uprzywilejowanych. Studium przypadku cz. 1
Authors: Żołna Małgorzata Maria
Published: April 2023

Dwuczęściowa publikacja dotyczy istotnego zagadnienia, ostatnio coraz częściej pojawiającego się w praktyce, a mianowicie zdarzeń drogowych z udziałem kierujących pojazdami uprzywilejowanymi. W zdarzeniach tych oprócz pojazdów uprzywilejowanych uczestniczą również kierujący pojazdami tzw. cywilnymi i niejednokrotnie organy procesowe mają wątpliwości odnośnie do tego, który z uczestników zdarzenia ma ponieść odpowiedzialność za jego spowodowanie. Biegły z zakresu rekonstrukcji wypadków drogowych powinien wątpliwość tę usunąć, m.in. na podstawie rekonstrukcji przebiegu zdarzenia, a przede wszystkim obserwacji miejsca wypadku, a nawet wyników eksperymentu. W niniejszej publikacji przedstawiono analizę wypadku drogowego, którego sprawca –funkcjonariusz Policji – wjechał na skrzyżowanie pomimo włączonego na sygnalizatorze czerwonego sygnału dla jego kierunku ruchu.
Optimization of Reinforcement Ratio in Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Interaction Diagrams
Authors: Sidik Hasibuan Samsul A Rahman , . Irwan , Karisma Dwifi Aprillia
Published: April 2023

Reinforced concrete columns are structural members used to carry compressive loads. Column planning is important, considering that the column is the main structural element supporting the loads on a building. Column planning is generally used in moment and axial force interaction diagrams for a certain reinforcement ratio. Although there is currently much software available, Interaction diagrams made in this paper can be said to be a simple way of column planning. The method used in this paper is a numerical calculation method with the help of Ms Excel. This paper aims to optimize the planning of reinforced concrete columns using Mn and Pn interaction diagrams. Furthermore, the optimization results of the column planning interaction diagram have been obtained. A reinforcement ratio of 2% is a better result to apply.

Keywords: column, interaction diagram, reinforcement ratio.
Factors Influencing Employability of Persons with Disabilities in India: A Systematic Review Protocol
Authors: Ojha Gita Jyoti , khanna Amit , Moirangetham Sarju
Published: April 2023

Employment is a social determinant of health. There is compelling evidence that work improves general health and well-being and reduces psychological stress. People with disabilities are more likely to be unemployed and generally earn less even when employed. Despite the recent strides in terms of legislative frameworks aligned to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) 2004 (which India ratified in 2007) like the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) act 2016, the social reality of the employment status of the Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) is in stark contrast. Several barriers contribute to the disadvantages experienced by people with disabilities while seeking jobs and retention of meaningful employment. Literature showed many studies regarding employment-related issues particularly employability of PwDs, but very few have studied local factors coming into play. This study aims to develop a systematic review protocol to systematically analyze and synthesize the existing knowledge within this area in India for planning future interventions. The protocol has already been registered to PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. (Registration ID. CRD42023407717)

Authors: N.C. Ojiagu , D.S. Olajide
Published: April 2023

This study investigated the influence of credit administration on financial control among Cooperative Thrift and Credit Society (CTCS) in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Specifically, the objectives are; to determine the extent to which creditworthiness influence the allocation of credit from cooperative thrift and credit societies in Ekiti State and to explore the extent to which credit selection risk influence usage of credit from cooperative thrift and credit societies in Ekiti State. Data used for the study were obtained using a structured questionnaire administered to 383 respondents who were members of the cooperative thrift and credit society in Ekiti north senatorial district, Ekiti State. A stratified sampling technique was employed in selecting the participating members from each of the local governments and data was analysed. Primary and Secondary data are used. To achieve the stated objectives, t-test and linear regression analyses were adopted to measure the effect of the variations of the independent variable (creditworthiness and credit selection) on the dependent variable (financial control of credit thrift cooperative society). Findings reveal that the t-calculated value of 2.3345 and the p-value of 0.020 implies that creditworthiness has a significant effect on the allocation of credit among Cooperative Thrift and Credit Societies in Ekiti, also with a t-value of 4.0469 and an associated p-value of 0.000. There is a significant influence of credit selection on the usage of funds from CTCS in Ekiti State. Thus, the study concluded that credit administration has a significant effect on financial control among Cooperative Thrift and Credit Society in Ekiti State, Nigeria. It is recommended that CTCS need to disburse credit or loans to members based on their needs and usage of the funds, especially for viable and worthwhile projects.
A Stylistic Appraisal of Selected Poems in Sola Babatunde’s The Valley Of Vision
Authors: Kifayat Gambari-Olufadi
Published: April 2023

Creative writers, poets, novelists and playwrights deploy linguistic forms that characterise literariness. More specifically, the peculiarity of language use in the poetic genre proves its suitability for stylistic appraisal. We analyse selected poems in Sola Babatunde’s The Valley of Vision from a stylistic point of view to examine how the sociocultural standpoint of the poet is reflected in the poems. Six poems were selected purposively from the poetic collection and analysed using the conceptual bases of rhetoric and lexico-semantic variation. From the data analysis, it was found that elements such as figures of speech, analogy, transfer, idiom and loan words are employed in the text to unveil the linguistic background of the poet, unveil the thematic preoccupation of the poem, stir readers’ emotion and create mental images in the minds of the readers. In conclusion, the use of stylistics as the conceptual basis for the study has revealed the reasons behind the choices made by the poet to attract readers’ attention by making his poems accessible. The use of the tools of rhetoric and lexico-semantics has also revealed some facts about African poetry to facilitate readers’ sense of interpretation.
Semantic Data Integration for Public Health in Brazil
Authors: Ciriaco Debora , Pessoa Alexandre , Salvador Lais , Wassermann Renata
Published: April 2023

The lack of semantic information is a big challenge, even in context-driven areas like Healthcare, characterized by established terminologies. Here, semantic data integration is the solution to provide precise information and answers to questions like: What is the care pathway of newborns diagnosed with a congenital anomaly in consequence of congenital syphilis in the city of Sao Paulo? This project will use a semantic data integration technique, ontology based data integration, to integrate three health databases from the city of Sao Paulo - Brazil: mortality, live births and hospital information system. It is expected that the integration of public health databases will help to map patient care pathways, predict public resource needs and minimize unnecessary spending.
Separate the Tithe: Economic Issues in the Holy Scriptures
Authors: Malakhov Sergey
Published: April 2023

The paper starts with the hypothesis that Adam, having been commanded to eat in the sweat of his brow, had no leisure time in the modern sense, and his leisure was limited by the sleeping time. The verification of this hypothesis needs both statistical and analytical data.  Field studies of sleeping habits in hunting-and-gathering tribes from Africa and Southern America discovered statistically reliable data of 5.7-7.1 hours of sleeping time, amounts near the low end of those industrial societies. This result supports the historical analysis of sleeping habits in the preindustrial Europe. The model of economic equilibrium in a hunting-and-gathering society uncovers the perfect allocation of time produced by the golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion. The mathematics of economic equilibrium results in 6.63 hours of sleep. The application of this result to the tangibles-intangibles trade-off in the preindustrial Hebrew economy reveals the perfect share of giving to the church and the needy. It is equal to two tithes commanded to Hebrews by the Old Testament.

The “Co-mentorship in the Educational Practicum” Course is a course which combines the concepts of team teaching and mentoring into the teaching practice. The teaching practice courses are jointly taught by the practicum course professors and the practicum course teachers. The teachers and the pre-service teachers form a mentoring relationship and, conduct this course on a mentoring basis. In this study, 41 pre-service teachers, six practicum course teachers, and two practicum course professors participated in the Co-mentorship in the Educational Practicum Course. This study summarized the operation model of the “Co-mentorship in the Educational Practicum” Course through semi-structured interviews and document analysis. It also investigated the professional growth of the pre-service teachers in this course. The results show that: 1. He internship course consists of two parts, in-classroom and out-of-classroom. The former establishes the basic concept, teaching preparation, reflection and review; while the latter offers three-cycle teaching and intensive practice. 2. The professional growth results of pre-service teachers in teaching skills are as follows. They understood that the teaching activities should map the teaching objectives and integrate students’ living experiences. In these activities, they were able to properly use various teaching skills, such as guided discussions, cooperative learning, communication, and teaching media, and then, analyze student learning outcomes through multi-evaluations. In terms of the professional growth of pre-service teachers in class management competency, they established appropriate class policies and set up reward systems. In addition, they learned the skills required to build good teacher-student relationship and to deal with emergencies through adaptive counseling. Therefore, the “Co-mentorship in the Educational Practicum” Course can indeed promote the professional development of pre-service teachers in both teaching skills and class management.

 
Gestação molar em primigesta evoluindo com mola invasora
Authors: Bitzcof Bruna Tifani
Published: April 2023

Introdução: A doença trofoblástica gestacional (DTG) caracteriza-se pela proliferação do epitélio trofoblástico placentário. A manifestação benigna da DTG pode ser representada pela mola hidatiforme parcial (MHP), um tumor com parte de tecido fetal, que pode, em 20% dos casos, evoluir para uma neoplasia trofoblástica gestacional (NTG). Entre as neoplasias, destaca-se a mola invasora, uma evolução da MHP, a qual acomete apenas 1% dos casos, indicada pela persistência do hormônio gonadotrofina coriônica humana (hCG) após esvaziamento uterino, demonstrando a possibilidade de uma invasão da parede uterina. Dessa forma, considerando-se a necessidade de identificar manifestações da DTG, o presente estudo aborda um caso incomum de evolução da MHP para mola invasora. Relato de caso: Mulher, 21 anos, hígida, com exame de β-HCG qualitativo positivo. Primigesta. Queixa-se de sangramento vaginal vermelho escuro em pequena quantidade há dois dias. Nega dor. Por meio de exame especular observou-se a presença de sangramento ativo em pequena quantidade pelo orifício externo do colo uterino. Solicitou-se ultrassonografia transvaginal (USG TV), a qual mostrou um material heterogêneo de aspecto multicístico na região do fundo do corpo uterino. Exame de β-HCG igual a 20.443 mUI/mL. Foi indicado esvaziamento uterino por aspiração manual intrauterina (AMIU) e encaminhamento à patologia. Após 48 horas, o exame do β-HCG quantitativo resultou em 2.562 mUI/mL. O anatomopatológico concluiu mola hidatiforme parcial (MHP). Após acompanhamento semanal do β-HCG, verificou-se uma ascensão dos valores. Foram iniciados investigação e estadiamento com exames de imagem, laboratoriais. A RNM de pelve exibiu espaçamento da cavidade endometrial no fundo uterino, formação nodular estendendo-se até a superfície serosa do útero e cistos tecaluteínicos nos ovários. Diagnosticou-se mola invasora com estadiamento de NTG confinada ao útero, estágio I. O tratamento clínico iniciou-se com quatro ciclos de metotrexato (MTX) 1 mg/kg intramuscular, intercalados com ácido folínico (AF) 15 mg. O seguimento deu-se com dosagem de β-HCG quantitativo, da qual o nível de 676,5 mUI/mL após a última aplicação de MTX decaiu para 132 mUI/mL em sete dias, seguindo semanalmente até negativar, além de se obter a regressão da lesão. Conclusão: Entende-se que a evolução da MHP para mola invasora é atípica. O seguimento até a negativação do β-HCG é indispensável para confirmar a cura. Logo, um aumento do hCG, mesmo após AMIU, caracteriza uma evolução para NTG. Neste caso a mola invasora foi confinada ao útero, sendo possível descartar coriocarcinoma. O tratamento constituído de MTX alternando com AF foi imprescindível para manter a fertilidade da paciente, já que o MTX inibe o metabolismo do folato. O acompanhamento regular de hCG assegurou o sucesso no tratamento.

Published: April 2023

Introdução: A gravidez na adolescência é um fenômeno mundial presente na vida de famílias que vivem principalmente em condições socioeconômicas desfavoráveis, conduzindo jovens adolescentes que vivem em situação de vulnerabilidade a um aprofundamento das desigualdades individuais e sociais. Objetivo: Verificar a proporção de nascimentos de mães adolescentes brancas e pretas, de dez a 19 anos, no município do Rio de Janeiro, de 2010 a 2020. Materiais e métodos: A gravidez de mulheres de até 19 anos foi considerada precoce. A pesquisa foi realizada por consulta ao Sistema de Informações sobre Nascidos Vivos disponibilizado via plataforma TABNET do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (DATASUS), selecionando-se o município do Rio de Janeiro, o período de 2010 a 2020, e considerando-se as cores de pele branca e preta e duas faixas etárias: dez a 19 anos (adolescência) e dez a 49 anos (idade reprodutiva). Proporções de nascimentos por cor da pele foram estimadas e comparadas usando o teste χ2, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: No período analisado, ocorreram 449.617 nascimentos de bebês na população de mulheres brancas e pretas de dez a 49 anos no município do Rio de Janeiro. Do total de nascimentos, 358.211 foram registrados em mulheres brancas, sendo 33.886 considerados em idade precoce (10–19 anos), correspondendo à prevalência de 9,5%. Na população de mulheres pretas de dez a 49 anos, houve 91.406 nascimentos, dos quais 16.333 foram considerados em idade precoce (10–19 anos), indicando prevalência de 17,9%. A comparação das proporções foi estatisticamente significante (p<0,01). Conclusão: A prevalência de nascimentos nas adolescentes brancas e pretas como um todo foi superior a 11% no município do Rio de Janeiro. A ocorrência desse fenômeno foi quase duas vezes mais prevalente em meninas pretas comparadas com as brancas. Os achados sugerem que a gestação na adolescência está afetando desproporcionalmente as meninas pretas e acentuando as desigualdades em minorias delimitadas pela cor da pele preta no Rio de Janeiro.

Actualización y manejo práctico de colitis ulcerosa
Authors: Gompertz G. Macarena , Sedano M. Rocío
Published: April 2023

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an autoimmune inflammatory chronic disease, which compromises the colonic mucosa continuously, affecting the rectum with a variable proximal extension to the cecum, in a relapsing and remitting way. The higher incidences and prevalence are described in Europe and North America, with no precise epidemiologic data from Chile. It usually presents in young patients with bloody diarrhea, with the diagnostic confirmation made by colonoscopic and histologic studies. There is no definitive cure for this condition, but the aim of the treatment is symptom resolution and endoscopic mucosal healing, based in the early use of 5-aminosalicylic acid drugs, steroids for a crisis, immunosuppressants, with some patients requiring biologic agents to reach remission. In some cases, colectomy is the last source for refractory disease or for treating colonic neoplasia. This review focuses on practical management of UC.

Published: April 2023

The gastrointestinal system is closely related to the skin. Multiple disorders of the gastrointestinal

tract that manifest clinically on the skin surface are recognized, which can even occur before

establishing the definitive diagnosis of the disease. For this reason, it is necessary that the

dermatologist is internalized regarding the wide variety of clinical signs that can guide the

etiological study, which requires in most cases, a multidisciplinary management.
Evaluación de la corrección angular de la integral velocidad tiempo en ecocardiografía. Estudio piloto
Authors: Ugalde C. Diego , Brugere O. Solange , Pino L. Angela
Published: April 2023

Background: Echocardiography has now a pivotal role as a tool for hemodynamic monitoring, particularly in the critically ill. However, the ideal acoustic window for relevant measurements such as the velocity time integral are not always available. We propose to evaluate if angular correction of this variable is accurate in comparison with standard technique. Patients and methods: Adult patients were evaluated in the echocardiography unit during Juny 2017, having velocity time integral measured with angulation and standard technique, with convenience sampling. Analysis included difference, means and correlation between basal results and maximal angulation, in Stata 12. Results: 25 patients were included, mean velocity time integral was 23,01cm and with a mean angulation of 32,56º the integral was 24,27cm, with 5,5% difference, statistically significant, linear correlation had a 0,932 coefficient with R-square of 0,7897. Bland-Altman analysis revealed mean difference -1,256cm and agreement limits of -5,219 to 2,707. Discussion: In this study the result of the velocity time integral with angular correction had a good correlation and acceptable precision compared with non-angled measurements, which could allow its use when the acoustic window is sub-optimal, however, these findings should be replicated in critically ill patients.

Prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia should therefore be considered as an integral part

of individual cardiovascular prevention interventions, which should be addressed primarily to

those at higher risk who will benefit most. Statins are the most commonly used options for

the pharmacologic treatment of dyslipidemia. In recent decades, numerous clinical trials have

demonstrated the efficacy of these drugs to reduce cardiovascular mortality and major non-fatal

atherothrombotic events in heterogeneous populations through both primary and secondary

prevention. This group of drugs is part of the recommendations of both US and European

guidelines, and should be prescribed to all patients who have already had a cardiovascular

event and have no specific contraindication. However, a large percentage of patients that

would benefit from a statin treatment do not receive them, have been prescribed a low dose

or for a limited time.

Deep neck infections (DNIs) are special entities among infectious diseases for their versatility

and potential for severe complications. Complex head and neck anatomy often makes early

recognition of DNIs challenging, and a high index of suspicion is necessary to avoid any delay in

treatment. The diagnosis is made by clinical history, physical examination findings and imaging

studies. The treatment consists in securing the airway, intravenous antibiotics and surgical

drainage, when needed. To make decisions the surgeon must understand the anatomy of

the region, the etiology of infection, appropriate diagnostic tools, and medical and surgical

management. This article provides a review of these pertinent topics.

Published: April 2023

Helicobacter pylori (HP) is the most widely chronic human infection around the world, and

the main risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. Our country has high rates of

this neoplasia and a high prevalence of HP infection. Even both have fallen in the last year,

is a major concern to diagnose the population infected with HP in early stages, before the

development of premalignant lesions and properly eradicate this infection. In this review, we

discussed the different methods for the diagnosis of HP and factors that change positivity

as the use of proton pump inhibitors. Also, we discussed the factors to be considered in the

choice of the treatment, like local resistance to antibiotics, specially clarithromycin. In the last

years has been documented in Chile a significant increase in resistance to clarithromycin, from

20 to 46%, which predicts inadequate effectiveness for the classic triple therapy. As the result

of the previous analysis we discussed new possible therapies, including bismuth quadruple

therapy and concomitant therapy.

Role of Modern technology (Internet of things and Artificial Intelligence) in Agriculture: An Analytical Study
Authors: SRIVASTAV SHASHANK
Published: April 2023

With the increasing demand for food globally, farmers are looking for ways to increase yields while reducing costs and improving sustainability. One solution to this challenge is the use of precision agriculture techniques. These cutting-edge technologies can be utilized to enhance crop productivity, optimize resource usage, and improve overall efficiency in farming practices. Two of the most important modern technologies are artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT), that can help farmers achieve these goals. IoT sensors can be used to collect real-time data on weather, soil moisture, and plant growth, which can then be analysed by AI algorithms to provide farmers with insights and recommendations for improving crop yields. AI-powered robots and drones can also be used to perform everyday and mundane tasks such as planting, weeding, and harvesting. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize agriculture by reducing labour costs, increasing efficiency, and improving sustainability. However, there are also concerns about the ethical and societal implications of AI and IoT in agriculture, such as the potential for job loss and the impact on small-scale farmers. This paper aims to analyses various aspects of the implementation of AI and IoT in modern agriculture.

Published: April 2023

Industries devote huge sums of money and resources in research and development to bring new medications to market in the fiercely competitive pharmaceutical sector. The price of creating new pharmaceuticals is significant, and it can take a while for them to reach the market. Patents give pharmaceutical companies a temporary legal monopoly on their product, which encourages innovation by enabling them to recoup their costs and turn a profit. In the pharmaceutical sector, there is a huge potential for patents, and businesses are constantly looking for innovative strategies to safeguard their inventions. Patents give drug developers an advantage over rivals in the market in addition to safeguarding their intellectual property. A business that has a substantial patent portfolio can stop rivals from entering the market and stealing market share. A strong patent portfolio can also draw investors and business partners because it shows a company's dedication to innovation and capability to safeguard its intellectual property. People from Pharmaceutical industry are considered in this research work, and it is found that Patents give pharmaceutical firm a legal monopoly on temporary basis on their product, Patents give medicine developers a competitive edge in the market, Patents has given Indian pharmaceutical firms the chance to be more creative and develop novel medications.

Published: April 2023

The main objective of this article is to understand the prevalence and perception among Indian patients towards traditional Indian medicines as well as their notions regarding allopathic medicines on its feasible integration. Changing lifestyles and reduction in the affordability regarding sick care, in terms of money and time are some of the factors that are leading patients towards helping them to think about their wellbeing. Many patients also suggested that due to lack of curative treatment for several chronic illnesses excessive cost of allopathic medicines, microbial resistance, and its emerging diseases amongst them are some of the reasons for them to shift towards traditional or alternative medications in India. A cross-sectional study was undertaken during this research to analyse different perspectives related to ayurvedic and allopathic but will also discuss why all around the globe are still very much aware about Ayurveda. This study showed considerable support on behalf of both traditional and allopathic but also significant variation among its users. Still, Ayurvedic medicines is increasing its popularity all around the world, but patients are more concerned about their quality through inclusion of advanced technology to gain global acceptance over allopathic medicines.

Published: April 2023

En este estudio, se utilizaron datos de una encuesta transversal reciente en el estado de Níger, Nigeria, África para examinar la relación entre el impacto de la crisis, la percepción del riesgo y la adopción de métodos de mitigación de riesgos entre los hogares agrícolas en el estado de Níger, Nigeria. Los objetivos específicos fueron: (i) describir la percepción de riesgos entre los hogares agropecuarios; (ii) examinar los determinantes de la percepción del riesgo futuro entre los agricultores; y (iii) describir los métodos de mitigación aplicados por los hogares. Se utilizó una tabla de frecuencias para describir el impacto y la percepción del riesgo futuro; Se utilizó la regresión de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (OLS) para analizar los determinantes de la percepción del riesgo futuro entre los hogares agrícolas, y se utilizó un gráfico para describir los métodos de mitigación aplicados por los hogares. El resultado mostró que la mayoría de los encuestados experimentaron eventos climáticos extremos con un promedio de dos veces por hogar y experimentaron la mayor severidad. Los riesgos futuros más percibidos en cinco años fueron eventos climáticos extremos con una media de 6 veces por hogar durante cinco años y pronosticados con la mayor gravedad. El resultado de la regresión OLS mostró que el impacto climático, el impacto biológico, el impacto económico, el impacto sociopolítico y la edad del cabeza de familia fueron determinantes significativos y positivos de la percepción del riesgo futuro. Mientras que el estado civil se relacionó negativamente con la percepción de riesgo futuro. Los métodos de mitigación más empleados en la zona fueron los cultivos tolerantes a la sequía (63 %), diversificación de cultivos, parcelas y ganado (61 %), reservas (55 %), cultivo de arroz con riego en la estación seca (41 %). El estudio recomienda que se aliente a los agricultores a diversificar sus fuentes de sustento para aumentar su capacidad de adaptación. El gobierno debe invertir más en la expansión de las instalaciones de riego para garantizar la producción de alimentos durante todo el año y mejorar el bienestar de los hogares.

In the present study, a series of 5’-(substituted aryl)-2-furanyl}-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrimidine-2-ones has been designed and synthesized with Beginelli reaction derivatives carried out from the reaction of ethyl acetoacetate 1 with substituted ureas 2 and substituted aryl furfuraldehydes 3 in presence of acetic acid to yield {5’-(substituted aryl)- 2-furanyl}-3,4-dihydro-1H-pyrimidine-2-ones [4a-k (X=O), 4l-v (X=S)]. The target candidates were confirmed by FTIR, NMR, Mass spectrometry and by elemental analysis. The present exploration also required for in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive strains of bacteria, namely Bacillus cereus (ATCC 11778), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 11633), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 155), Enterococccus faecalis (ATCC 14506) and Gram negative bacterial strains, namely Shigella dysenteriae (ATCC 13313), Escherichia coli (ATCC11303), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 10031) and Salmonella typhi (MTCC 733). Tested antimicrobial activity revealed that compounds 4k and 4v showed very promising antibacterial activity and were found to be most effective when tested against strains of K. pneumonia, S. aureus, S. typhi, S. epidermidis and E. faecalis, although rest synthesized derivatives also showed significant antibacterial activity. The novel synthesized compounds also exerted remarkable in vitro anti-inflammatory biological activity as reflected by utilization of the percent inhibition of protein denaturation method.
Dynamic Performance of a Hybrid Synchronous Machine with Ultra-High XD/XQ Ratio
Authors: Anih Linus Uchechukwu , Agbachi Eugene Okenna , Obe Emeka Simon
Published: April 2023

This paper presents a hybrid synchronous machine with ultra-high XD/XQ ratio. A conventional synchronous machine has two components of output power; the excitation and the reluctance component. The reluctance power which depends on the saliency ratio (XD/XQ  ) is negligible when compared with the excitation component. A hybrid machine with variable XD/XQ  ratio has the capability of raising the reluctance component of the power to infinity theoretically. The stator frame of the hybrid machine is stacked with two identical cylindrical cores (A, B) that are magnetically isolated. A hybridised rotor; salient cum cylindrical is used. There are two windings on the stator core stacks identifiable as the main and control windings respectively which are electrically isolated but magnetically coupled. The main windings are connected in series across the two stacks (A and B) and the terminals connected to the utility supply for motor operation while for generator, the terminals feed the load busbar. The control windings are transposed in passing from one stack to the other and terminated across a balanced adjustable capacitor bank. It is shown that the quadrature axis reactance (XQ) of the hybrid machine can be adjusted from zero to infinity (0<=XQ<=inf.)  theoretically by varying the balanced adjustable capacitor bank. The reluctance component of the output power of the machine which depends on the reactance ratio (XD/XQ ) is also seen to theoretically increase to infinity. The reluctance power is shown to be twice the excitation power when the capacitor of 800uf is connected to the control winding. Depending on the value of the capacitive reactance, the reluctance power can be made even ten times the excitation power.
