La naturaleza simbiótica de la inteligencia para hacer frente a los retos del mundo contemporáneo
Authors: Sánchez Villegas Pablo , Pirateque Perdomo Pamela
Published: November 2023

Desde la creación de la Revista Perspectivas en Inteligencia en 2009 como un medio interdisciplinario de divulgación de conocimiento y productos investigativos realizados por la Escuela de Inteligencia y Contrainteligencia “BG. Ricardo Charry Solano” (ESICI) junto con otras instituciones nacionales e internacionales, se ha procurado continuar con el legado académico de generar no solo producción científica con altos estándares de calidad sino también convertirse en una herramienta de consulta para los tomadores de decisión.
          Por tal motivo las publicaciones, si bien se han orientado a un área epistemológica de conocimiento en la que se integran la Inteligencia y la Seguridad y Defensa, asimismo se han incluido de manera transversal nuevos tópicos de estudio sobre los cuales progresivamente se ha ido articulando la revista hasta el punto de añadir publicaciones que enmarcan el estado actual de temas de discusión, debates y problemas que conciernen a la economía, la historia, la filosofía, la administración, el desarrollo tecnológico, etc. Así, surge un interés por ofrecerle al público académico una compilación de productos científicos que contribuyan a la comprensión holística de las transformaciones que aquejan el mundo contemporáneo y, sobre todo, que permitan explorar desde una perspectiva diferencial la compleja realidad glocal.
Effect of The Rs-10 Radioprotector on Protein-Steroid Interaction in Irradiated Animals with Biphasic Adrenocortical Response to Irradiation
Authors: Omelchuk Nadezhda
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the influence of RS-10 radioprotector on the protein-steroid interaction in irradiated animals. Introduction. Increasing threats to the radiation safety of the population is now causing the need for comprehensive studies of the anti-beam properties of chemical radioprotectors. The aim of the study is to study the effect of the RS-10 radioprotector on protein-steroid interaction in irradiated guinea pigs with biphasic adrenocortical response to irradiation. Study methods: experiments were conducted on 146 guinea pigs weighing 300-350 g, which were exposed to total ƴ radiation at a dose of 3.5 Gy and 4.5 Gy at a dose rate of 5.76 Gy/min, which caused them radiation disease of II and III severity. Experimental animals were injected intraperitoneally with RS-10 (chitosan bitartrate) 15 minutes before irradiation. Control animals were administered an equal volume of saline. The total plasma content of 11-oxycorticosteroids (11-OKS) was determined by the fluorometric method of Guillemin et al. in the author's modification. The binding capacity of corticosteroid binding globulin (CSG) was determined by gel filtration of De Moor at al. in the author's modification. Conclusions. Prophylactic administration of RS-10 to irradiated animals with a two-phase adreno-cortical reaction to radiation causes a later onset of secondary hypercorticism in the midst of radiation sickness in animals. Prophylactic administration of RS-10 before irradiation reduces the level of free hormone and leads to a decrease in hypercorticism, increasing the reserve capabilities of the binding ability of the CSG at the height of radiation sickness. A leading role in the mechanism of reducing affected hypercorticism under protective conditions has a lesser degree of impairment of the binding capacity of the CSG, rather than a change in the total level of 11-OKS in the blood.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To determine the impact of WhatsApp Messaging on learning paediatrics during clinical rotation of final year MBBS medical undergraduates.
Study Design: Quasi-Experimental study
Place and Duration of Study: Bahria University Medical and Dental College, Karachi Pakistan, from Apr to Oct 2018.
Methodology: Final year MBBS students attending the Department of Paediatrics for three months of clinical rotation were randomly allocated to two Groups. Group-A was the control Group without WhatsApp, and Group-B was the intervention Group with WhatsApp messaging. Both Groups had a pre-test and post-test before and after their clinical rotation. The evaluation was performed before and after clinical rotation using Multiple choice questions (MCQs) for the final evaluation.
Results: Of a total of 80 students, 19(23.8%) were males, and 61(76.3%) were females, with a median age of 23(22-23) years. Of 40 students in the WhatsApp Group, active participation was observed in 37(92.5%) students, whereas the quality of the shared content by students was found to be adequate/relevant in 35(87.5%) cases. The median score was significantly higher in both Groups' clinical rotation test than in the pre-clinical rotation assessment (p-value <0.001). However, the median score of the post-clinical rotation test was significantly higher in the WhatsApp Group than in the non-WhatsApp Group (p-value <0.001).
Conclusion: WhatsApp was found to be a highly effective tool for learning paediatrics among medical students during their clinical attachment.

"In contrast to earlier crises, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound influence on many facets of global life. This happened to Indonesia, particularly in the economic elements of the country. The MSME sector, which is one of the cornerstones of the Indonesian economy, was severely impacted, with many going out of business due to inability to survive. The purpose of this study is to assess if entrepreneurial competency or entrepreneurial resilience have a significant impact on the performance of MSMEs following the COVID-19 pandemic. This study uses a quantitative verification and descriptive approach. Primary data obtained by collecting questionnaires from respondents. The data processed in this study were responses to questionnaires from MSME owners in Bandung City using a random sample approach, with up to 100 respondents. Statistical Package for Social Statistics (SPSS) was used for data analysis and hypothesis testing. Multiple linear regression analysis is used in this study to confirm the impact of the independent variables on the dependent variable. According to the study's findings, the entrepreneurial competence variable has no meaningful influence. In the meanwhile, the entrepreneurial resilience variable has a major impact on MSMEs' success. This study has consequences both internally (for entrepreneurs) and externally (for government and higher education). "
Effect of Instructional Supervision on Utilization of Teaching and Learning Resources for Implementation of CBC in Pre-Primary Classrooms in Webuye East Sub-County, Bungoma County, Kenya
Authors: Luembo Harriet , Opiyo Rose Atieno , Otieno Kenneth
Published: November 2023

The competency-based curriculum was first offered to Kenyan schools in 2017 as a pilot program, and it was adopted in January 2019. As a drastic departure from the 8-4-4 education system, a new 2-6-3-3-3 system was established in 2017. This new system would require two years in preprimary, six in primary, three in junior secondary, three in senior secondary, and three in university. In the majority of English-speaking countries, competency-based curriculum (CBC) as an approach has resulted in substantive improvements to curriculum in a particular sector of the educational system. This study therefore set out to establish the influence of instruction supervision (InS) and utilisation of teaching and learning resources on the implementation of CBC in preprimary schools in Webuye East Sub-county, Kenya. The study was anchored on the Systems Theory of Educational Management by Kaufaman. The population of this study consisted of 316 respondents from Ndivisi, Mihuu, and Maraka wards in Webuye East sub-county, sampled purposefully and stratified by random sampling. They include the 157 head teachers who are charged with the role of supervision, 1 curriculum support officer who coordinates pre-school programmes at ward level, 157 pre-primary teachers, 1 CSO, and 1 QASO officer. A descriptive survey research design was used in the study. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires and interview schedules as well as classroom observation. Pearson product moment correlation was used to determine reliability. The quantitative evidence was presented using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution tables and pie chart figures that displayed the results of the analysis. The study revealed that the teaching and learning resources are adequate. An observation confirmed that some subjects had so many books as compared to others. This, therefore, meant the suppliers of the books relied on non-existing statistics to supply the books. This study recommends that suppliers of the books be in constant touch with the head teachers so that the right and adequate resources are supplied in schools.

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Few studies have investigated the impact of new particle formation (NPF) on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in remote Antarctica, and none has elucidated the relationship between NPF and CCN production. To address that knowledge gap, we continuously measured the number size distribution of 2.5–300 nm particles and CCN number concentrations at King Sejong Station on the Antarctic Peninsula from 1 January to 31 December 2018. Ninety-seven NPF events were detected throughout the year. Clear annual and seasonal patterns of NPF were observed: high concentration and frequency of nucleation-mode particles in summer (December–February: 53 NPF cases) and undetected nucleation-mode particles in winter (June–August: no NPF cases). We estimated the spatial scale of NPF by multiplying the time during which a distinct nucleation mode can be observed at the sampling site by the locally measured wind speed. The estimated median spatial scale of NPF around the Antarctic Peninsula was found to be approximately 155 km, indicating the large scale of NPF events. Air back-trajectory analysis revealed that 80 cases of NPF events were associated with air masses originating over the ocean, followed by sea-ice (12 cases), multiple (3 cases), and land (2 cases) regions. We present and discuss three major NPF categories: (1) marine NPF, (2) sea-ice NPF, and (3) multiple NPF. Satellite estimates for sea-surface dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP; a precursor of gaseous dimethyl sulfide) data showed that the production of oceanic biogenic precursors could be a key component in marine NPF events, whereas halogen compounds released from ice-covered areas could contribute to sea-ice NPF events. Terrestrial sources (wildlife colonies, vegetation, and meltwater ponds) from Antarctica could affect aerosol production in multiple air masses. Out of 97 observed NPF events, 83 cases were characterized by the simultaneous increase in the CCN concentration by 2 %–270 % (median 44 %) in the following 1 to 36 h (median 8 h) after NPF events. Overall, Antarctic NPF events were found to be a significant source of particles with different physical characteristics and related to biogenic sources in and around the Antarctic Peninsula, which subsequently grew to cloud condensation nuclei.
A spectrum of geoscience communication: from dissemination to participation
Authors: Illingworth Sam
Published: November 2023

Abstract. This review article is a written contribution to accompany the 2023 Katia and Maurice Krafft Award from the European Geosciences Union. Through a consideration of my own practice and that of the wider literature, I explore how creative approaches (primarily poetry and games) can enhance the diversification of geosciences and facilitate broader engagement in its research and governance. I propose a spectrum for geoscience communication, spanning from dissemination to participation, and contend that effective communication demands a creative approach, considering the requirements of diverse audiences. I offer practical recommendations and tactics for successful geoscience communication, including audience awareness, transparency, and engagement with varied communities. This article emphasises the significance of fostering increased recognition for science communication within geosciences and promoting wider engagement in its research and governance. It delivers valuable insights for researchers, educators, communicators, and policymakers interested in enhancing their communication skills and connecting with diverse audiences in the geoscience domain.
Open Boundary Conditions for Atmospheric Large Eddy Simulations and the Implementation in DALES4.4
Authors: Liqui Lung Franciscus P. A. , Jakob Christian , Siebesma A. Pier , Jansson Fredrik R.
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Open boundary conditions were developed for atmospheric large eddy simulation (LES) models and implemented into the Dutch Atmospheric Large Eddy simulation model. The implementation was tested in a "Big Brother"-like setup, in which the simulation with open boundary conditions was forced by an identical control simulation with periodic boundary conditions. The results show that the open boundary implementation has minimal influence on the solution. Both the mean state and the turbulent structures are close to the control simulation and disturbances at the in- and outflow boundaries are negligible. To emulate a setup in which the LES is coupled to a coarser model, the influence of coarse boundary input was tested by smoothing the output of the periodic control simulation both temporally and spatially before feeding it as input to the simulation with open boundary conditions. The results show that when the ratio between input and model resolution increases, disturbances start to form at the inflow boundary and an area exists where turbulence needs to develop. Adding synthetic turbulence to the smoothed input reduces the size of this area and the magnitude of the disturbances.

RELATION BETWEEN DOWNWARD AND UPWARD PHASES ON THE TRAMPOLINE BED DURING JUMPING
Authors: MATSUSHIMA MASAHARU
Published: November 2023

The time of flight in trampoline competitions relies on the jumping movement executed on the trampoline bed, which can be divided into a downward phase and an upward phase. These two phases of the jumping movement exhibit distinct characteristics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate fundamental data regarding the vertical deflection length, time, velocity, and force involved in the vertical movement on the trampoline bed. The study involved ten trampoline athletes, including participants in the All Japan Championships and members of the Japanese national team. These athletes were instructed to perform 15 consecutive jumps on the trampoline bed, starting from a standing-still position, aiming for maximum height, and maintaining a straight trajectory in the center of the trampoline bed.
The findings revealed that all measured parameters were significantly greater in the downward phase compared to the upward phase. Interestingly, it was observed that the jumping height during a prolonged flight is predominantly determined by the actions in the downward phase of the trampoline bed, rather than the upward phase. As a result, the downward phase should be executed as an active jumping movement.

Published: November 2023

The aim of the study was to explore sources of organizational stress among Brazilian youth rhythmic gymnasts. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six female athletes aged approximately 15 years (M = 14.50; SD = 1.76) with approximately seven years of experience in the sport on average (M = 6.83; SD = 3.25). Deductive categorical analysis was used to analyze the raw data. Our analysis revealed that sport entrapment, time management, and body image concerns are some of the stressors experienced by rhythmic gymnasts. Coach-pressure, peer-pressure, and parental-pressure are additional sources of stress reported by the athletes. Finally, the athletes reported experiencing competitive anxiety before, during, and after competition. Collectively, our findings suggest that rhythmic gymnasts reported a multitude of sport-related stressors. To counter these pressures, coaches, and practitioners need to equip athletes with a variety of coping skills in order to promote well-being and increase peak performance in the sport.

Therapeutic Potential of Polyherbal Tablets: A Comprehensive Assessment of Pharmacological Activity
Authors: Dhakar Suresh , Tare Harshal
Published: November 2023

Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum and Annona squamosa are widely recognized medicinal plants with significant therapeutic potential. Individually, each of these plants has been historically acclaimed for its antidiabetic properties, but the synergistic effect of a combined formulation has remained largely unexplored. This research aims to evaluate the antidiabetic potential of a polyherbal formulation consisting of these three plants in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The polyherbal formulation was prepared using ethanolic extracts of the leaves of Azadirachta indica, bulbs of Allium sativum, and leaves of Annona squamosa. The formulation was standardized as per the World Health Organization's guidelines for herbal materials. Acute toxicity studies established its safety profile, showing no toxicity at doses up to 2000 mg/kg. Antidiabetic activity was assessed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, and the results demonstrated a remarkable reduction in blood glucose levels, comparable to the standard drug glibenclamide. Furthermore, biochemical evaluations corroborated the formulation's efficacy, which was also substantiated through histopathological assessments of the liver and pancreas. In conclusion, the polyherbal formulation exhibits profound antidiabetic activity, suggesting its potential as an effective herbal remedy for diabetes management.
MCIP: Mining Crop Image Data On pysparkdataframe Using Feature Selection and Cluster Based Techniques
Authors: Chaudhary Yashi , Pathak Heman
Published: November 2023

Crop-related problems such as pests and diseases in India lead to yearly losses exceeding $500 billion. Leaf blight is identified as the principal factor responsible for the substantial financial losses amounting to $500 billion. Farmers engaged in the cultivation of forage and grain sorghum experience the greatest degree of hardship. This disease has a significant impact on various crops, including maize, rice, tomato, potato, millet, and onion. The timely detection and evaluation of disease in plants can contribute to mitigating the extent of associated losses. However, the task presents difficulties as a result of variations in crop species, varieteis of crop diseases, and environmental factors. The current methodologies lack generalizability in their ability to classify and predict diseases. All of the techniques employed in this study are applied to a dataset with predetermined input values and corresponding output values. The current methodologies involve preprocessing the images and performing segmentation for extracting the appropriate characteristics. The process of segmentation necessitates the implementation of pre-processing techniques, such as dilation and edge detection. As a consequence, the loss of crucial information occurs, which subsequently leads to inaccurate classification. Furthermore, the methodologies employed thus far have not been designed to evaluate the performance of the algorithm on specialised or specific datasets. Deep learning methodologies are susceptible to the issue of overfitting. This paper proposed an approach for extracting and analysing crop image data using the PySpark (MCIP) data frame. The MCIP framework employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a method for selecting pertinent features. The PCA features that have been gathered are subsequently employed to identify homogeneous subgroups through the utilisation of the K-means algorithm. The utilisation of a categorised predictive output facilitates the identification and detection of diseases present in potato leaves. The utilisation of the Multispectral Crop Imaging Platform (MCIP) extends beyond the examination of potatoes exclusively, as it possesses the capability to identify diseases present in the foliage of various agricultural crops. In order to validate our assertion, we conducted an experiment utilising the MCIP algorithm on a dataset pertaining to rice diseases. In order to assess the robustness of MCIP, we conducted an evaluation of its Accuracy, Silhouette score, speed, and F1 score. The MCIP model demonstrated high performance in terms of both speed and accuracy compared to existed approaches. The level of accuracy is remarkably near 100 percent.

Museums in Motu in the Anthropocene: From Active Space to Spatial Actions
Authors: Lv Junyi
Published: November 2023

In this article I offer an in motu rhetorical analysis of museums in the Anthropocene. Instead of discussing curations inside museums in detail, I examine spatial and rhetorical dialogues between the Jinhuagong National Mine Park, a fifty-year-old coal mine, and the Yungang Grottoes, a Unesco cultural heritage site. Pulling together threads from Heidegger and Chinese environmental philosophies, I redefine museum as spatial action with three entangled lines of action: building, dwelling, and saying. Unlike in previous studies of museum as active space, museum in motu turns museum into museuming—a gerund indicating ongoing actions adapting to contingencies. Through museuming, human beings keep exploring the meaning of building in diverse practices of dwelling and adapting to relational existence with the more-than-human world.
Giant mobile coralliths from the Florida Keys, USA
Authors: Precht William F , Patterson Mark R , Glynn Peter W
Published: November 2023

Coralliths are spherical, free-living (motile), scleractinian colonies inhabiting present day and ancient coral reefs. They form by the coral rolling on the seabed which can occur through biological and/or physical processes. While diving and snorkeling in nearshore environments in
the upper Florida Keys, we observed hundreds of coralliths of varying sizes and species. This included colonies of Porites astreoides, Siderastrea radians, and Solenastrea bournoni. The largest coralliths we observed were all S. bournoni and ranged between 0.5 and 1.4
m in diameter. The exceptionally large colonies identified (>1 m) may be the largest and oldest spherical coralliths described to date. Relatively frequent movement of a corallith is key to their formation as all colony surfaces must be exposed to sunlight and currents periodically to maintain
their spherical shape. Intuitively, the larger a corallith grows, the stronger the current energy must be to initiate movement. Considering the shallow depth of the corallith habitat and the high frequency of tropical storms and hurricanes impacting south Florida, we hypothesized that the
forces generated by shoaling, breaking storm waves would be sufficient to cause the formation of these giant coralliths. Calculations based on hydrodynamic forces and field observations after the passage of a storm support the efficacy of storm-generated waves and surge to move and roll these
giant coralliths. The tropical storm/hurricane return time where we found these large colonies in the Florida Keys is one in every seven years. This return time is apparently frequent enough to maintain their spherical morphology and assist in the formation of these giant coralliths.

Determining how the Covid-19 pandemic affects ecotourism in Giresun province
Authors: ÇAKIR Günay , KIR Haşim
Published: November 2023

Ecotourism is a type of activity in which people spend time in natural environments having fun and admiring nature's wonders. One of the most important characteristics of natural beauty is its potential to foster social and cultural calm. The Covid 19 pandemic outbreak began in Turkey in March 2020. The purpose of this research was to find out how many individuals visited Giresun's ecotourism destinations between 2018 and 2021. The number of tourists to the area had decreased, particularly in 2020. Visitors to Giresun Province are registered at the city's entrance by the Provincial Directorate of Tourism. The existence of tourism agencies facilitates the identification of both domestic and foreign tourists. In 2018 there were 182313 tourists; in 2020 there would be only 105064. There were 77249 fewer tourists in just two years. Despite pandemic restrictions, local tourists prefer ecological places because they provide clean air and a nice way of life. Domestic visitors to the remote Giresun province stayed in ecotourism zones. Despite the fact that our region has several ecotourism destinations, it is obvious that many visitors are leaving for adjacent provinces owing to a lack of infrastructure, transit alternatives, and lodging options.

Introduction: Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is considered one of the main causes of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), due to its easy sexual and congenital transmission. Objective: Knowing the importance of syphilis, this study aimed to perform a rapid test to identify the prevalence of syphilis among university students, as well as to analyze their behavior, knowledge and perception regarding this and other STIs. Material and Methods: Therefore, a questionnaire was applied in person and also online to 266 students aged between 18 and 48 years old, most of whom were women (72.18%), white (71.43%), and single (84.96%). Results and Discussion: Of this total, 52 students agreed to perform the Immuno-Rápido Sífilis test (WAMA Diagnóstica), presenting a non-reactive result in all samples. It was observed in the survey that: 6.0% had already had an STI; 20.7% used illicit drugs; 1.9% shared needles and syringes; 78.8% did not use condoms frequently with their regular partners and 55.5 % with their occasional partners, with these sexual behaviors being considered risky. Students had an average of 66.7% correct answers when assessing knowledge about syphilis, sexual practices and other STIs. Conclusion: The results show that although the students do not have syphilis, the behavior considered risky and the insufficient knowledge on the subject do not exclude other STIs and reinforces the need to perform awareness campaigns.

Malnutrition refers to an inadequate supply of nutrients and energy to the body cells, compared to the body's requirements for maintaining growth and ensuring daily functions. It is a major health burden in developing countries and can be categorized as under-nutrition and over-nutrition. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and determinants of Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) among children under 5 years of age in a rural community of Lahore. A quantitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Lakhodair community of Lahore. A sample of 150 married females participated in the study, and a purposive sampling was used to collect data. The results revealed that 43% of the participants were male mothers, and 57% were female. PEM was categorized as mild, moderate, and severe. Severe PEM was noted in children under the age of 5 years in this Lakhodair community, with an incidence rate of 4.22%. It was concluded that the prevalence rate of PEM among children under 5 years of age in a rural community of Lahore was 4.22%. Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) determinants include protein and carbohydrate intake, housing and environmental status, father and mother's education and occupation, monthly income, socio-economic factors, dietary habits, family size, and anthropometric measures.

Objective: To measure the effect of the pharmacist-led medication reconciliation service before hospital discharge on preventing potential medication errors. Methods: This behavioral interventional study took place in a public teaching hospital in Iraq between December 2022 and January 2023. It included inpatients who were taking four or more medications upon discharge from the internal medicine ward and the cardiac care unit. The researcher provided the patients with a medication reconciliation form and reconciliation form (including medication regimen and pharmacist instructions) before discharging them home. Any discrepancies between the patients’ understanding and the actual medication recommendations prescribed by the physician were identified and solved. Results: Fifty inpatients received a pharmacist-led medication reconciliation review before hospital discharge. Out of 50 patients, 44% had a clear understanding of their medications before the intervention. In contrast, 56% of the patients had at least one potential medication error before the reconciliation, which was addressed by the pharmacist's intervention. Approximately two-thirds (89.4%) of the potential medication errors were clinically significant, and 5.3% of these errors were serious. The most frequent potential error that prevented this was duplication (31.5%) (the patient was about to duplicate the same medication from different manufacturers or different medications from the same pharmacological class). Conclusion: Lack of medication reconciliation can cause significant medication errors, which might be serious and cause harm to patients. This study has the potential to shape policies and practices that prioritize medication safety and optimize patient outcomes during transitions of care.
