Authors: Robles-Vera Lovely Lisseth , Durán-Avila Narcisa Liliana
Published: April 2024

La salud cardiovascular es fundamental para el bienestar general, especialmente en el ámbito hospitalario, donde el personal enfrenta desafíos físicos y emocionales. El perfil lipídico, que comprende niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos, desempeña un papel crucial en la salud cardiovascular. Este estudio se centra en la evaluación de la salud cardiovascular y metabólica del personal del Hospital Sagrado Corazón de Jesús a través del análisis de los niveles de lípidos, la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico y la asociación entre el perfil lipídico y la presencia de dicho síndrome. Se utilizaron datos recopilados mediante pruebas de laboratorio y análisis estadísticos para obtener resultados significativos. Se observó una mayoría con niveles altos de colesterol HDL, lo cual es positivo para la salud cardiovascular, y una predominancia de niveles normales de colesterol LDL, indicando un riesgo bajo. Los perfiles lipídicos en el personal del Hospital Sagrado Corazón de Jesús muestran variaciones según el género, con el 58% de las mujeres y el 43% de los hombres dentro del rango deseable de colesterol total. Aunque la prevalencia del síndrome metabólico es del 16.07%, los perfiles lipídicos no muestran una asociación significativa con esta condición. En conclusión, los datos revelan diferencias de género en los perfiles lipídicos del personal del Hospital Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, con un porcentaje mayor de mujeres dentro del rango deseable de colesterol total. En resumen, mientras existen diferencias de género en los perfiles lipídicos, su relación con el síndrome metabólico es débil.

Authors: Garcia Ceron Gabriela , Fernandes Rocha José Nathan , Da Silva Camargos Gláucio
Published: April 2024

A condição neurológica denominada paralisia cerebral pode apresentar alterações do desenvolvimento nos âmbitos motor, sensorial, comportamental e cognitivo. Diante da necessidade de debate acerca da inclusão da pessoa com paralisia cerebral no ensino comum, esse estudo discutiu a importância da apropriação do corpo para que a aprendizagem ocorra, proporcionando ao indivíduo amadurecimento, crescimento, autonomia e independência, e o quanto que isso é difícil para a criança com paralisia cerebral. Assim, considerou-se, o impacto que essa deficiência pode gerar na criança que frequenta escola e evidenciou-se que a presença da educação psicomotora na educação inclusiva, por meio da estimulação precoce, faz-se essencial para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de todos os alunos, inclusive os com paralisia cerebral. Com a elevação da plasticidade neural a consciência  corporal  é promovida, levando ao reconhecimento de capacidades e limites. Assim, para potencializar o trabalho educativo com o aluno com paralisia cerebral, indicamos como crucial a contemplação das manifestações biopsicossociais, afectivo-emocionais e psicosóciocognitivas do desenvolvimento humano, com a consciência de que a integração psicossomática faz parte da saúde, e a saúde, da educação.

Published: April 2024

The devaluation of women has become a problem that has been manifested and evidenced by various events that reflect contempt, constant questioning and the violation of the rights of the female gender in various scenarios. In Ecuador, at the rural level, gender violence has affected approximately 62 % of women. This article was proposed with the objective of analyzing the effects associated with said devaluation on the political, social and economic dimensions. At a methodological level, a scientific and synthetic method was applied, a qualitative approach, and 72 women were taken as the population to whom interviews and focus groups were applied. The results of the interviews reflected that unanimously in the San Lucas community there is inequality in relation to men, a product of a sexist environment, this despite the economic and social continuation that women carry out at the local, national and international level in the economic context. From the focus group, it was identified that women perform traditional roles mainly associated with household chores and family care; occasionally these roles were combined with agricultural work that they performed without receiving remuneration. It was concluded that devaluation has not only had an impact on the limited participation of women at an economic, social and political level, so the lack of presence in this last aspect also has an impact on the lack of actions to counteract the problem of their devaluation

Published: April 2024

Nursing care in oncological palliative care is essential to improve the quality of life of cancer patients in advanced stages. The aim of this research was to establish the determinant factors influencing nursing care for oncological patients in palliative care in a Type C Health Unit in Ecuador. It was an observational, prospective, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. A survey was conducted on 22 Nursing Graduates from a Type C Health Center in Ecuador. The results indicated that 59,1 % of professionals are familiar with the term palliation, 50 % associate palliative care with the relief of suffering, while 90 % accurately understand the goal of palliative care and the medication used to alleviate pain in patients. Furthermore, 81,8 % of the staff possess the necessary knowledge to educate families, however, 72,7 % have not received training on the subject in the last year, and 86,4 % in the last six months. Therefore, it is conclusively demonstrated that there are weaknesses in aspects related to the theoretical and practical domain of palliative care applicable to oncological patients. Additionally, a significant need to improve training and updating programs for nurses' professional profiles is identified

More for less in seismic design for bridges – an overview of the Japanese approach
Authors: Saiko Daisuke , Terada Kazumi
Published: April 2024

Seismic design is often seen as a very specialist area in the UK, but a basic understanding of seismic design by structural engineers is very important in order to design a cost-effective structure where there is a seismic hazard. This paper aims to provide a simple explanation of some seismic design and analysis techniques for bridges adopted in Japan, which is located in one of the most seismically active zones in the world. The paper focuses particularly on the bearing and articulation systems of bridges because this is where there is a significant difference in the standard form of construction between non-seismic and seismic areas.

Authors: Thangaraj G. , Senthil S.
Published: April 2024

In this paper, a new notion of fuzzy contra-continuity, called almost contra-somewhat fuzzy continuity between fuzzy topological spaces,is introduced. Several characterizations of these functions are obtained and it is shown that fuzzy almost contra-semi continuous functions are almost contra-somewhat fuzzy continuous functions. The conditions under which fuzzy hyper connected spaces become the fuzzy Baire spaces, fuzzy second category spaces and fuzzy almost irresolvable spaces, are obtained by means of almost contra-somewhat fuzzy continuous functions.

Authors: Sharma Tilak Raj , Sharma Anuj
Published: April 2024

The generalization of the ring of ordinary integers and their properties into an Euclidean ring is well known. Every ideal in an Euclidean ring is a principal ideal, as is also widely known. That is, the Euclidean ring is a principal ideal ring. This paper aims to generalize the Γ−semiring of non-negative integers and their properties by defining Euclidean Γ−semiring. A Euclidean Γ−semiring is one of the many special classes of Γ−semirings. Finally, the special class of Γ−semirings discussed in this paper is the class of almost principal ideal Γ−semirings.

Published: April 2024

This paper addresses a basic inquiry into the connectivity of fuzzy matroids, a fundamental concept with wide-ranging applications. Our contribution involves introducing an innovative equivalence relation derived from graphic fuzzy matroids. We rigorously define the connectivity of graphic fuzzy matroids using equivalence classes, providing a clear and precise characterization of their connectedness. Throughout the analysis, we highlight several essential properties of this connectivity concept, supplementing our discussion with illuminating examples. We present three practical applications showcasing the significance of connected graphic fuzzy matroids in diverse fields. In social network analysis, our findings offer valuable insights into the structure and connectivity of complex networks. In environmental reliability monitoring, connected graphic fuzzy matroids serve as a powerful tool for assessing and ensuring the reliability of environmental systems. In the context of geographic information systems, our research contributes to the enhancement of spatial connectivity analysis.

Published: April 2024

In non-Newtonian fluid flow Jeffrey fluid is the one which describes stress relaxation very well. This paper is mainly focused on analytical investigation of unsteady heat and mass transfer rate through porous medium in the presence of magnetic field along with radiation/absorption, heat generation/ absorption and homogeneous chemical reaction effects. The coupled linear partial differential equations are turned to ordinary equations by super imposing solutions with steady and time dependent transient part. Finally, the set of ordinary differential equations are solved with a perturbation method to meet the inadequacy of boundary condition. The effect of different parameters on the flow is described with the help of graphs and tables. This investigation is the fluctuation of velocity appears near the plate due to the presence of sink and presences of elastic element as well heat source reduces the skin friction. Impact of Jeffery parameter leads to decrease the fluid velocity. The heavier species with low conductivity reduces the f low within the boundary layer.

Sind Genossenschaften Kartelle?
Authors: Dreyer Lucas
Published: April 2024

Do co-operatives have a negative impact on competition, or do they promote competition and therefore represent a desirable form of co-operation from an antitrust perspective? Lucas Dreyer analyses the antitrust assessment of co-operatives from a legal and economic perspective. His analysis is based on the Cooperatives Act and antitrust law. On the basis of various facts relevant to antitrust law, the author examines whether and to what extent the Cooperatives Act and antitrust law are compatible with each other, and what possibilities for restricting competition exist under co-operative law, on the basis of which co-operatives could be classified as cartels.
Das neue Berlin des Hofarchitekten Johann Arnold Nering (1659–1695)
Authors: Usenbinz Kay
Published: April 2024

Nering was the most influential architect in Brandenburg-Prussia around 1700. For the first time, the author contextualises Nering's work and subjects it to critical analysis. Nering transferred the style and quality primarily of Italian architecture to the Mark, which, as a strict, sober architectural language, stands out from the freer Italian or South German handling but claims a firm place as the Berlin School. Nering's architecture anticipated the elevation of the elector to a higher rank, which was not realised politically until the coronation in 1701. He raised courtly and urban architecture to the level of the most renowned courts of the empire and prepared the splendid architecture of Schlüter, Eosander and de Bodt.
Datenschutz und Dopingkontrolle – ein Paradox?
Authors: Listl Nadine
Published: April 2024

So far, the discussion on the GDPR has been conducted on an abstract level and its applicability has hardly been scientifically analysed on the basis of practical examples. This is precisely what the author has set out to do, thereby contributing to the development of a legal doctrine of European data protection law. In doing so, she addresses the important issue of combating doping in national professional sport. In order to combat doping, the National Anti-Doping Agency is dependent on the processing of personal data. The author explains in detail that this processing can be based neither on constitutional legal bases nor on effective consent.
Diagnosis and treatment of Myofascial Pain Syndrome in temporomandibular dysfunction
Authors: Díez-Suárez Leandro , Garay Symor Rodrigo , Ivan Espinosa Carlos Arturo
Published: April 2024

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important structure of the facial skeleton and is an important source of pain when inflammatory processes are occurring in it. It is located inferior the skull base, above the neck and anterior to the ear. The principal components include: bone structures, ligaments, intrarticular content, and muscles. Because of the anatomic relations, the temporomandibular joint affections can produce a limitation of the masticatory function and express headache of dental, sinusal, nervous, or muscular type. For this reason, the patients require multiple medical and dental specialties in the search of a solution for the current illness. The myofascial pain refers to a chronic, inflammatory condition of the TMJ and the muscular system of the head and neck. It has an important demand in the health sector, can incapacitate significantly the quality of life of the patients, and requires an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this chapter is to guide the clinical practice in the etiology, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of the myofascial pain as a clinical presentation of the temporomandibular dysfunction.
A Diasystematic Approach to Multilingual Ecology: The Case of Mbum Speakers in Ngaoundéré, Cameroon
Authors: Beyer Klaus
Published: April 2024

Speakers of the minority language Mbum (Cameroon) live in a multilingual ecology coping with different degrees of interferences from a wide variety of other languages and dialects. They consciously and/or unconsciously insert constructions from different languages in different communicative contexts and often apply mixed codes altogether. Sometimes, they reckon that a given linguistic unit does not belong to one specific language from their repertoire but feel that it is somehow ‘around’ in the multilingual space they navigate. Such statements highlight an epistemological dilemma that becomes more and more apparent in language contact theory: While it is evident that in multilingual ecologies assumptions of single, articulate, static, and ideally variation-free language systems do not at all reflect speakers’ realities, the concept of individual languages that influence each other to various degrees while keeping their grammars neatly apart is generally presupposed for descriptive and analytic purposes. A possible solution for the dilemma lies in the Diasystematic Construction Grammar approach which conceives of a grammar as community specific and not as language specific.

Training an AI-based Writing Assistant for Spanish Learners: The Usefulness of Chatbots and the Indispensability of Human-assisted Intelligence
Authors: Huete-García Ángel , Tarp Sven
Published: April 2024

This article deals with the relationship between human and artificial intelligence in the context of an ongoing Spanish Writing Assistant project, where ChatGPT is used to assist in four key tasks related to either training the underlying language model or preparing future user communication. The project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between lexicographers with experience in language teaching and IT experts from a high-tech company. The article first describes the methodology of the overall project and the specific role of the lexicographers. It then discusses the three tasks in which the latter are directly involved: the construction of a set of two parallel Spanish corpora, one correct and the other with induced errors, the generation of validation material, and the writing of extended grammatical explanations for Spanish learners. Based on a large amount of empirical data, including 35,000 carefully reviewed sentences, the article details the different steps of the interaction between human and chatbot, as well as the experiences and reflections drawn from this process. It concludes that the two parts engage in very different types of relationships depending on the concrete task, and that human knowledge, culture, skills and language intuition are crucial for the chatbot to work properly. Keywords: Spanish writing assistants, language learning, chatbots, human-assisted intelligence, training of language model, corpus building

Efficiency and Intelligence in Lexicography and Artificial Intelli­gence: Can ChatGPT Recreate the Lexicographical Text Type? By means of pilot experiments for the language pair German–Galician, this paper examines the concept of efficiency and intelligence in lexicography and artificial intelligence (AI). The aim of the experiments is to gain empirically and statistically based insights into the lexicographical text type ”dictionary arti­cle” in the responses of ChatGPT-3.5, as well as into the lexicographical data on which this chatbot was trained. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used for this purpose. The analysis is based on the evaluation of the outputs of several sessions with the same prompt in ChatGPT-3.5. On the one hand, the algorithmic performance of intelligent systems is evaluated in comparison with data from lexicographical works; on the other hand, the ChatGPT data supplied is analysed using specific text passages of the aforementioned lexicographical text type. The results of this study not only help to evaluate the efficiency of this chatbot regarding the creation of dictionary articles, but also to delve deeper into the concept of intelligence, the thought processes and the actions to be carried out in both disciplines. Keywords: lexicography, AI, ChatGTP-3.5, dictionary article, concept of efficiency, concept of intelligence, lexicographical text type, training data, lexicographical data
Dictionary Use Training in Secondary School EFL Textbooks in Taiwan
Authors: Law Wai-on
Published: April 2024

As a rare study on English language textbook design for dictionary use training, this research examines four series of secondary school textbooks available on the Taiwan market. The content analysis method was adopted in finding out (1) how effectively the existing secondary English textbooks can help learners develop the necessary dictionary skills based on the guidelines from the government; and (2) how the existing textbooks could be improved to better meet learn­ers' needs for dictionary skills training. The results show that none of the surveyed series follow the Curriculum Guidelines of the Ministry of Education (2018) regarding dictionary use training, although they all claim to have designed the book based on the government-set curriculum. Sug­gestions are made regarding how the present textbook designs could incorporate dictionary skills, with recommended resources. The study reveals the conspicuous neglect of dictionary use skills training in secondary school textbooks, and calls for similar review to be made in other countries to fully appreciate the (un)availability of dictionary use training in secondary schools. The study should provide useful information to relevant government authorities, dictionary compilers, text­book writers, and English language teachers and researchers alike for improving the situation.

актуальность статьи обусловлена тем, что эффективное использование имеющихся данных обычно представляет наибольшую трудность при моделировании рабочих состояний энергосистемы. Анализ состояния системы на основе устаревшей или неверной информации может привести к принятию решений, существенно отличающихся от оптимальных. Целью статьи является выявление особенностей использования нечетких множеств (искусственного интеллекта) в нефтегазовой отрасли и разработка предложений для практического применения и совершенствования данных процессов. Методология исследования основана на применении системного подхода и общенаучных методов, среди которых: систематизация и обобщение, логический и сравнительный анализ. В статье обосновано, что удобным математическим инструментом описания неопределенности и неточности входных данных и связей между ними является теория нечетких множеств. В статье представлены возможности использования нечеткого моделирования в нефтегазовой отрасли при выборе альтернатив при транспортировке нефтегазовых продуктов. Результаты исследований по применению этой теории во многих областях науки и техники позволяют предположить, что благодаря ее возможностям моделирования неопределенности и неточности входных данных и описания связей между ними она расширит сферу своей деятельности.

the relevance of the article is due to the fact that the effective use of available data usually poses the greatest difficulty when modeling the operating states of the power system. Analyzing the state of a system based on outdated or incorrect information can lead to decisions that are significantly different from the optimal ones. The purpose of the article is to identify the features of using fuzzy sets (artificial intelligence) in the oil and gas industry and develop proposals for practical application and improvement of these processes. The research methodology is based on the use of a systematic approach and general scientific methods, including: systematization and generalization, logical and comparative analysis. The article substantiates that a convenient mathematical tool for describing the uncertainty and inaccuracy of input data and the connections between them is the theory of fuzzy sets. The article presents the possibilities of using fuzzy modeling in the oil and gas industry when choosing alternatives when transporting oil and gas products. Research on the application of this theory in many fields of science and technology suggests that its ability to model the uncertainty and imprecision of input data and describe the relationships between them will expand its scope.

Современная наука содержит целый комплекс накопленных междисциплинарных знаний, которые используются исследователями в описании экономических явлений и процессов. Так, понятие «инерция», позаимствованное из области естествознания, используется для изучения характера движения экономической системы. Динамика экономического развития представляет собой тип этого движения, она может быть положительной, тогда наблюдается рост экономических показателей, а может быть отрицательной, что выражается в спаде, сокращении экономической активности. Инерционность экономической системы, характеризует последнюю с точки зрения ее способности сохранять целостность своей структуры под воздействием внешних и внутренних факторов. Математическое описание инерционности экономических процессов делает возможным моделирование будущего состояния экономических объектов, их взаимосвязей в перспективе развития экономической системы, а также моделирование самой структуры экономических отношений в постоянно меняющемся социально-экономическом пространстве. Использование полученных данных, при составлении прогнозных значений показателей экономической эффективности, позволяет раскрыть направление движения экономикой системы, описать ее динамику. Моделирование инерционности экономических процессов дает возможность спрогнозировать дальнейшую тенденцию их развития, использовать полученный опыт для реализации планов по эффективному управлению социально-экономической системой.

modern science contains a whole complex of accumulated interdisciplinary knowledge that is used by researchers to describe economic phenomena and processes. Thus, the concept of “inertia,” borrowed from the field of natural science, is used to study the nature of the movement of an economic system. The dynamics of economic development is a type of this movement; it can be positive, then there is an increase in economic indicators, or it can be negative, which is expressed in a recession, a reduction in economic activity. The inertia of an economic system characterizes the latter in terms of its ability to maintain the integrity of its structure under the influence of external and internal factors. A mathematical description of the inertia of economic processes makes it possible to model the future state of economic objects, their interrelations in the perspective of the development of the economic system, as well as modeling the very structure of economic relations in a constantly changing socio-economic space. The use of the obtained data when compiling forecast values of economic efficiency indicators makes it possible to reveal the direction of movement of the system’s economy and describe its dynamics. Modeling the inertia of economic processes makes it possible to predict the further trend of their development and use the experience gained to implement plans for the effective management of the socio-economic system.
