La Diáspora mexicana en Estados Unidos de América: Empoderamiento y Relaciones Transnacionales de los Migrantes como Elementos Clave
Authors: Gómez Gutiérrez Abel
Published: November 2024

La historia de las relaciones binacionales entre los Estados Unidos Mexicanos (México) y Estados Unidos de América (EE.UU.) se ha escrito desde cada país y desde distintas miradas. Se cuenta con la visión oficial-gubernamental, con la formalidad académica-intelectual; y una ambición mediática-política desmesurada. En algunas ocasiones se han desarrollado esfuerzos académicos binacionales para tratar de documentar y explicar objetivamente distintas temáticas que identifican dichas relaciones. Este es un ejemplo de lo que se hace desde la academia. Se utilizan como elementos de análisis el empoderamiento y las relaciones transnacionales de los migrantes mexicanos y sus organizaciones en EE.UU. para analizar los supuestos teóricos y conceptuales de diáspora en sus distintas clasificaciones y etapas históricas. Se argumenta que tal y como lo muestra la historia, desde una perspectiva occidental sobre las diásporas, estas se asimilan a aquellos supuestos de las diásporas tradicionales-consolidadas y las modernas con carácter económico, comercial-mercantil. La idea que la diáspora mexicana en EE.UU. es un conglomerado de entidades sociopolíticas híbridas que se podrían encasillar entre las diásporas emergentes, con características incipientes y fluctuantes. Este es sólo un análisis de continuidad a otras contribuciones sobre la diáspora mexicana en EE.UU. que se funden y confunden con las actividades diplomáticas del Estado mexicano. Se deja abierta la puerta a otros puntos de vista ya que concluimos que existen individuos excepcionales en EE.UU. y en México, apasionados por mejorar las condiciones socioeconómicas, políticas y culturales de los migrantes mexicanos y sus descendientes en EE.UU. y de sus familiares que permanecen en México. Por lo tanto, las relaciones transnacionales de los migrantes y sus organizaciones con sus contrapartes en los lugares de origen, de manera inclusiva con el Estado mexicano y los gobiernos sub-nacionales podrían irrumpir con lo que se está nombrando o asumiendo como la diáspora mexicana.

Published: November 2024

The objective of this study is to validate the applicability of the PEP-3 in the Arab context (Algerian-Tunisian) within a sample of 116 children with TSA, ranging in age from 2 to 12 years. Between February and August 2024, data were collected from various geographical regions (north, central, and south) in Algeria and Tunisia. The research employed an analytical approach using Cronbach's alpha coefficient along with a descriptive analytical method. The present study examined the effectiveness of the Psychoeducational Profile - Third Edition (PEP-3) in the Algerian-Tunisian environment. The PEP-3 was applied to a sample of 116 children with autism spectrum disorder in Algeria and Tunisia. The construct validity of the PEP-3 was supported by the high internal consistency of each subtest, in addition to the medium to large correlation coefficients between the subtests. The results of the Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the test ranged from 0.93 to 0.94 for the procedural axes. The correlation matrix ranged from 0.71 to 0.95. The findings indicate that the scale in the Algerian-Tunisian context demonstrates an overall stability rate of 0.95. These results provide strong evidence of the construct validity of the PEP-3 and its effectiveness in the Algerian-Tunisian environment.

Stacking Framework
Authors: Azijah Noor , Ratna Silvia , Muflih M. , Budiman Haldi , Syapotro Usman , Ariyani Khalisha
Published: November 2024

Mental health significantly impacts overall well-being, yet the increasing prevalence of
mental health issues presents challenges in their effective classification and treatment. Traditional
methods often fail to accurately handle complex, non-linear data, compromising the timeliness and
appropriateness of interventions. This study introduces an innovative mental health classification
framework, ELM-MLP-CatBoost Stacking, to address these deficiencies. The primary objective
is to enhance classification accuracy by integrating three advanced computational techniques: the
speed of the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), the flexibility of the Multi-Layer Perceptron
(MLP) for modeling non-linear data, and the predictive refinement of CatBoost as a meta-model.
Our methodology involves a stacking approach where ELM and MLP models serve as base
learners with CatBoost integrating their outputs to optimize final predictions. Experimental results
demonstrate that the ELM-MLP-CatBoost Stacking framework substantially outperforms
traditional models, achieving a notable accuracy of 92.76%, an improvement over the MLP’s
92.64% and the ELM’s 69.59%. This framework enhances the reliability and efficiency of mental
health condition classifications and paves the way for further research into advanced diagnostic
tools. The novelty of this research lies in the synergistic combination of these models, setting a
new standard for accuracy and reliability in mental health diagnostics and establishing a robust
foundation for future advancements in the field.

This research employs a qualitative case study approach, using in-depth interviews with teachers and students. The findings reveal that pesantren traditions effectively build students' noble character. However, challenges from modernization and the use of technology, especially social media, affect students' focus on character education. Nonetheless, the pesantren strives to stay relevant by balancing traditional values with the wise use of technology. This research is expected to provide insights into strengthening character education for students in the modern era.
Propriétés des idéophones en guñaamolo, langue atlantique du Sénégal
Authors: BODIAN Dr Lamine
Published: November 2024

Abstract. This article deals with the study of ideophones in Guñaamolo, an
Atlantic language spoken in the south (Casamance) of Senegal. Ideophones
are recognised as particular words that are organised in a way that is relatively
marginal in relation to the regular system of the language. Doke, in his Bantu
Linguistic Terminology (1935: 118), defines them as follows: "A word, often
onomatopeic, which describes a predicate, qualificative, or adverb in respect
to manner, color, sound, action, state, or intensity". However, in Guñaamolo,
ideophones have invariable forms and participate in the construction of a
verbal syntagm; their occurrence is linked to the presence of a particular verb.
In this study, we examine the specific phonological, morphological, syntactic
and semantic properties of the different ideophones

Efecto Permanente de la Extracción de Metales en el Medio Ambiente y la Respuesta del Sistema Legal Boliviano a través de la Persecución Penal para la Reparación del Daño
Authors: Millares Luna Erik Jeant
Published: November 2024

Este trabajo examina el efecto permanente de la extracción de metales en el medio ambiente y la respuesta del sistema legal boliviano a través de la persecución penal para la reparación del daño. Utilizando un enfoque cualitativo y observacional, se revisaron documentos legales, informes ambientales y estudios previos relacionados con la minería, la persecución penal de los delitos ambientales. Los hallazgos indican que, a pesar de que Bolivia cuenta con un marco legal robusto para la protección del medio ambiente, su aplicación es deficiente. La persecución penal de las violaciones ambientales es limitada, y las sanciones existentes son consideradas insuficientes. Esto ha llevado a una persistente degradación ambiental y a la falta de reparación efectiva para las comunidades afectadas. por lo tanto, al no sancionarse los delitos ambientales, se crea un ambiente de impunidad que fomenta la repetición de estas conductas delictivas. Se ha comprobado que el Código Penal no tiene un capítulo especial que tipifique delitos ambientales estableciendo sanciones proporcionales con el daño causado y que la penalización del daño ambiental se encuentra dispersa en el caso de la actividad minera metalúrgica en tres cuerpos legales distintos, lo que reduce la eficacia a momento de establecer las sanciones y la reparación del daño causado Se ha podido evidenciar que recién a partir del 2021, el Ministerio Publico modificó su estructura organizacional creando las Direcciones de la Fiscalía Especializada en Delitos de Narcotráfico, Medioambiente, a nivel nacional cuenta en total con 10 fiscales de Materia Especializado y se ha iniciado capacitaciones a partir de 2023, haciendo énfasis únicamente en delitos de ecocidio y forestales poniendo en evidencia la urgente necesidad de captación de recursos económicos para capacitación en otros delitos ambientales  en particular los emergentes de la actividad minero metalúrgica y fortalecimiento institucional. También se destaca la necesidad de promover la responsabilidad social de las empresas mineras, asegurando que estas asuman un rol activo en la mitigación de su impacto ambiental. Las comunidades locales deben ser incluidas en los procesos de toma de decisiones y en la implementación de políticas ambientales.

Authors: Cheng Fei-Chun , Lee Chia-Rong , Chiu Tzu-Chen , Wang Cheng-Hung
Published: November 2024

In response to the arrival of the post-COVID-19- era, digital learning has become crucial in education. The use of multimedia digital teaching materials in education is becoming increasingly common. Each individual has preferences regarding methods for absorbing information and, in turn, has a distinct learning model. Differences in learners’ cognitive styles may be related to their learning performance and their eye movements when browsing information. Therefore, this study explored differences in the eye movements of learners with different cognitive styles (text-based and image-based) while reading graphic information. First, we used the Style of Processing scale to identify learners’ cognitive styles. Next, a pretest was administered, and the participants were invited to watch educational videos. Finally, a posttest was conducted. We collected eye movement data while the participants watched the videos, and the collected data were used for subsequent analysis. Examining the use of digital learning materials for different subjects indicated that the participants with image-based cognitive styles focused more on graphic reading than did those with text-based cognitive styles.

Authors: Bai Jie , Bai Ajmera Mohan Singh
Published: November 2024

Driven by the rapid changes in the knowledge economy and societal demands, higher education is undergoing a significant transformation from the traditional knowledge production mode (Mode 1) to a new mode of knowledge production (Mode 2) characterized by practice orientation and interdisciplinary collaboration. This transformation imposes higher requirements on the educational model of environmental design programs, particularly in cultivating students' employability. Against this backdrop, this study explores the connotation and core dimensions of employability for environmental design students, including professional competence, innovation capability, interdisciplinary collaboration, and practical application skills. Based on an analysis of the current status and challenges, this paper proposes targeted strategies such as optimizing the curriculum system, building diversified practical teaching models, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, and strengthening the linkage between career guidance and industry connections. The study argues that by actively responding to the transformation of knowledge production modes, environmental design programs can significantly enhance students' employability, thereby bridging societal demands and individual career development. This research provides both theoretical and practical references for educational reform in environmental design programs and serves as a model for other practice-oriented disciplines.

Authors: Ruiz Raiza , Hernández Daisy , Viada Carmen , García Jessica , Fors Marta , Ramos Mayra
Published: November 2024

Cervical cancer is the fourth cancer worldwide in the female sex in terms of incidence, becoming one of the most frequent epithelial tumors. The high overexpression of the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFr) present in it offers the opportunity to use therapies against this receptor. A prospective, multicenter Expanded Access Program (EAP) was carried out in three randomized groups to demonstrate the safety and preliminary efficacy of humanized monoclonal antibody nimotuzumab, CIMAvax-EGF® vaccine and its combination in advanced cervical cancer, refractory to all previous oncospecific therapies. The principal endpoint was to assess overall survival time (the life expectancy of these patients at the inclusion was six months) and demonstrate the safety of those treatments. Overall survival was higher than expected in all groups. In general, 43.9% of patients were alive 2 years after the start of immunotherapy, and the 60-month survival rate was 38.8, 42.7, and 37.4% for CIMAvax-EGF®, Nimotuzumab, and combination therapies, respectively.
According to overall survival, patients were separated into two groups: long (upper 24 months) and short (24 months or less) survivors. Long survivors (LS) represent 37.7% in the CIMAvax-EGF® vaccine, 49.3% in the Nimotuzumab, and 43.5% in the combination group. Adenocarcinomas (ADCs) tumors benefited from vaccine therapy, and squamous cell carcinomas with a nimotuzumab also benefited. A combination of both does not improve survival more than monotherapy. Conclusion. Nimotuzumab and CIMAvax-EGF® become an opportunity to treat refractory advanced cervical cancer.
Keywords: uterine cervical cancer, CIMAvax-EGF®, Nimotuzumab, Overall Survival

Published: November 2024

Background: Permanent pacemaker has become essential for the treatment of various cardiac diseases nowadays. The process is carried out regularly at the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory of Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the demographic details, indications, and type of permanent pacemaker implanted in elderly population.

Methods: This was a single-center, prospective study conducted in at Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar from March 2023 to August 2023. During these six months, a total of 218 Patients were included in the study who were regular in their visits to outpatient clinic and had given a written informed permission for participation. Those who did not give a written informed consent for participation were excluded from the study.

Results: Total 218 patients with mean age of 63.4 years range (43-88) undergone Permanent Pacemaker Implantation. Of these 130 (60%) were males. The mean duration of hospital stay was 4.5 days with range (3-7 days). Sinus Node Disease (115 patients, 52.75%) was the most common indication for permanent pacemaker Implantation. Single chamber (VVIR) pacing mode (123 patients, 56.42%) was found to be the most common pacing mode.

Conclusion: Permanent pacemaker implantation has been observed to be common among the elderly population, with a male majority. The most frequent reason for cardiac pacing in older people is sinus node disease, which is followed by atrioventricular block. In Pakistan, due to financial constraints, the single chamber (VVIR) pacing mode is frequently used, followed by the dual chamber (DDDR).

Introduction: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally, with an immense burden on healthcare systems and families.

Objective: The basic aim of the study is to find the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke as a predictor of functional recovery and mortality.

Methodology: The study conducted at Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar analyzed 354 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) from June 2022 to May 2023. Exclusions included those with hemorrhagic stroke, incomplete records, and those who did not undergo MT. Data from patients' medical records included demographics, clinical history, concomitant disorders, radiological data, and therapeutic information. Stent retrievers and aspiration devices were used in MT, based on operator preference and hospital guidelines.

Results: The median baseline NIHSS score was 15, indicating moderate to severe stroke severity. A high prevalence of comorbidities was observed, including hypertension (69%), diabetes (31%), and atrial fibrillation (28%). The study found that at 90 days post-procedure, 43% of patients experienced favorable functional recovery, while the mortality rate was 22%. Patients with a door-to-puncture time of 60 minutes or less had a higher recovery rate (48%), emphasizing the importance of timely intervention. Furthermore, successful revascularization (TICI 2b-3) was associated with significantly better recovery outcomes (50%) and a lower mortality rate (17%) compared to incomplete revascularization (TICI < 2b), where recovery was notably lower (20%) and mortality more than doubled (37%).

Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy significantly improves functional recovery in acute ischemic stroke patients, especially when performed promptly and with successful revascularization tract.

Semantara itu dari sisi lain pemahaman tentang an nafs dimaksud cukup esensial sejalan  dengan keberadaannya didalam diri setiap manusia. Tulisan ini berusaha mengkuliti  pemikiran Al-Kindi, salah seorang tokoh terpepuler dan terkemuka dalam filsafat Islam. Buah pemikiran beliau tentang an nafs akan dikaji dari perspektif filsafat agama. Melalui penelusuran bentuk penelitian kepustakaan dengan pendekatan kualitatif ditemukan bahwa Al-Kindi adalah salah satu  filsuf Islam berkebangsaan Arab pertama yang berhasil mengabungkan atau mepersatukan antara filsafat dan agama.  Baginya filsafat adalah usaha manusia secara sistematis agar  mengetahui kebenaran, sedangkan agama adalah sumber dari  kebenaran itu sendiri. Maka dari  itu wahyu tidak bertentangan  dengan filsafat  Letaknya  jiwa bagi tubuh adalah sebagai  pemberi hidup, sedangkan tubuh adalah hanya sebagai  tumpangan. Jiwa dan tubuh adalah dua komponen yang saling  melengkapi. Jiwa adalah kesempurnaan pertama bagi jism  organik, yang dengannya jisim memiliki kehidupan secara  potensial. Jiwa mengambil peran  kehidupan bagi tubuh, kalau  tidak ada  jiwa maka tubuh tidak dapat merasakan apa-apa, dan  bahkan tubuh akan lenyap dengan sendirinya.

This research is based on child development in Raudhatul Athfal Al-Bashitiyah. In learning activities in early childhood education RA Al-Basithiyah in group B, the ability to recognize children's numbers is still very low. When asked to show numbers and match the shape of the numbers. In addition, there are only 13 children who can write numbers 1-10, and only 17 can re-state numbers 1-10 in sequence. The reason for the inability of children in RA Al-Basithiyah to recognize and mention the concept of numbers 1-10 is that the learning method used in recognizing numbers is not optimal. Very minimal learning media is used to recognize numbers, so it cannot stimulate children to recognize them. This study aims to determine whether using number card media can improve children's counting skills in RA Al Bashitiyah. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection techniques in this study were observation and documentation. The subjects in thisstudy were children of RA Al Bashitiyah. The results of this study used two cycles: in cycle I, the MB category had 18 children (60%) and BSH 12 children (40%). In cycle II, the MB category was two children (7%), and the BSB category was 28 children (93%), meaning cycle II was declared complete. It can be concluded that number card games can improve children's counting skills.

Tendo como base o modelo teórico-metodológico de Dick (1990, 1992, 2004), temos como objetivo, neste artigo, apresentar a análise dos topônimos da região urbana de Araguatins, norte do estado do Tocantins. Partindo de uma perspectiva etnolinguística, identificamos que uma parte considerável dos nomes das ruas da cidade analisada é formada por antropotopônimos masculinos, dado que permite resgatar aspectos sócio-políticos, históricos e ambientais revelados no léxico-toponímico, tanto por meio das homenagens na nomeação urbana, quanto pela ausência delas, como é o caso dos nomes femininos ou de origem indígena, ou dos topônimos de natureza física, quase ausentes no recorte lexical analisado.

Menopause may influence negatively the cardiovascular system of women, especially that of smokers. The aim of
our study was to compare lipid levels and left ventricular function in postmenopausal women smokers and non-smokers
during 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy. The study group included healthy postmenopausal women, 30
smokers and 32 non-smokers. Before and in 6 month intervals the following parameters were followed: total cholesterol,
LDL-, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure and echocardiographic parameters of systolic and diastolic left
ventricular function. Before therapy non-smokers had higher total and LDL-cholesterol, when compared to smokers. Oral
estrogen replacement therapy significantly decreased levels of total and LDL-cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol,
only in non-smokers. No change in lipid levels was observed in smokers. However, women who smoked longer had higher
triglyceride levels after 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy. Echocardiography revealed significant improvement of systolic and diastolic left ventricular function in non-smokers, while improvement of only systolic function in
smokers. Our study has shown that 12 months of oral estrogen replacement therapy may not have a protective role on the
cardiovascular system of postmenopausal women smokers

The level of the health protection determines the living standard of people in that area. If the standard is higher the health protection is on a higher level. Extraordinary circumstances on the territory of Kosova and Metohia in the period of th almost whole last decade of 20 century caused much lower of health protection. It happened a spontaneous mobilisation of all factors of normal life in this area, causing an improvement in this matter. First public health workers made some changes and permitted their work with a great enthusiasm. Social-political structure of this area connected humanitarian organizations while Serbian population showed a strong determination to struggle with is strength for the existence in this area. Therefore the lowest level of the health protection in 1999 started gradually to improve. By opening new section within the Health Center in Zubin Potok (orthopedic and neurological) the scope of the health protection of the people got more extended. Orthopedic section opened an X-ray room where we X-rayed injures and sickness of the locomotor systems. In the period 1999-2002. we checked 8692 sick people (42,65% workers, 49,30% housewives and pensioners and 8.30% children). However, we did 1404 surgery operation. We took out 82 benign tumors, 64 objects and 59 skin excision (removal of para-site-ixodes ricini). Nevertheless, we put 2039 bandages where injures and sickness of locomotor systems occurred. During the last 3.5 years we did 301 X-ray photos. Gradual improvement of the standard of people, improvement of the social-political situation and further strong motivation of the population to stay in this area, contributing to better medical treatment and healing of sick people. It is contributing to the existence of the Serbian population in this area.

Certainly the level of the health protection of the population is in a direct connection with the living standard of people. Life and work of all the people in Zubin Potok municipality, as well giving the health help, became more difficult after 1999. It is because of the exile of non-Albanian population from teritory of Kosovo and Metohia. The most difficult problem, taking care of sick people, results from the impossibility of the normal traffic communication with Priština and Kosovska Mitrovica, where the Main Health Centers are located. More over, the irregular supplying with medicines, difficult transportation of patients, as well the downsizing of mean in this area, made the workers of Health center in Zubin Potok to make some changes in order to provide an adequate health protection for more than 10000 people in this area.
FEBRILE NON-HEMOLITIC TRANSFUSION REACTION
Authors: Vučelić N. , Savić N.
Published: November 2024

Febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reaction (FNHTR) is the most common adverse effect of blood transfusion. FNHTR is usually immune mediated due to the reaction of white cells antibodies in the recipient's plasma with the leukocytes contanied in the transfused blood components. In some patients, especially recipients transfused with platelets, cytokines are implicated in this reaction. The differential diagnosis may be difficult, especially when co-morbid disorders such as infection or malignancy, and certain treatments, may cause a similar spectrum of symptoms. In differential diagnosis, acute haemolytic transfusion reaction, bacterialy contaminated blood products and transfusion associated lung injury must be exlcuded. Repeated severe FNHTRs necessitate leucocyte depletion of blood components.
