Authors: Abdussalam  , Gunawan Aditya Rahmat , Hasanah Siti Mulyani
Published: November 2024

Objective: The aim of this research is to verify, analyze, and describe the influence of zakat on quality economic growth, both the influence of zakat nationally and the influence of zakat collected by Rumah Zakat.
 
Theoretical Framework: The increase in national economic growth does not appear to be maximal accompanied by the quality of growth, so the role of zakat is an alternative solution to encourage and trigger quality economic growth. Indicators of quality economic growth are decreasing poverty levels, equal distribution of people's income, reducing unemployment, maintaining environmental sustainability, and increasing the quality of human resources.
 
Method: This research is descriptive research using a quantitative approach. Meanwhile, the data analysis technique used is simple regression with the help of SPSS 26. The type of data used is panel data for 7 years. Data sources come from the official website of Baznas, Rumah Zakat, and BPS-Statistics Indonesia.
 
Results and Discussion: The results of this research conclude that national zakat collection has a significant effect on economic growth, a unidirectional relationship for every 1 percent increase in zakat collected will increase economic growth by 0.277 percent. Then the collection of zakat by Rumah Zakat has a significant effect on economic growth, a unidirectional relationship for every 1 percent increase in zakat collected will increase economic growth by 0.018 percent.
 
Research Implications: The implication of this research is that zakat has a positive contribution and is able to demonstrate its role as an instrument of Islamic philanthropy to encourage quality economic growth.
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to scientific knowledge by highlighting the novelty of research through new findings that can trigger enthusiasm for good zakat management. The relevance and value of this research can be proven by the results of this research that zakat can influence and act as a trigger for quality economic growth.

Medicaid: Payment Challenges and Solution
Authors:   Senior Program Manager / Technical Architect, USA, Mhatre Anand Laxman
Published: November 2024

Medicaid claims processing is a painstaking undertaking prone to delays, mistakes, and appeals. These issues are attributable to the inefficiencies of the legacy systems used to process claims. Updates in legacy systems are manual, and the systems are poor in handling reimbursement rate variability across states. Modern comprehensive claims processing systems are designed to address limitations in legacy approaches. These systems automate rates and policy updates and can be configured to handle rate variability across states. This document assesses challenges in Medicaid claims processing and explores the benefits of moving to a modern comprehensive claims processing system.

Published: November 2024

The Muhammadiyah Student Association (IMM) in the Da'wah Movement at the Ahmad Dahlan Islamic University (UIAD) Campus intends to strengthen Faith and Piety, especially in activities that are often carried out. This research is a descriptive qualitative study. The data collection techniques are observation, interviews and documentation. The subjects in this study were IMM cadres and UIAD students. The results of the study found that the role of IMM in da'wah has been realized but the involvement of participants is very minimal. In Da'wah, many methods or ways are found such as oral or direct methods, writing, actions or policies. The da'wah movement is based on QS Ali-Imran / 3: 104 which explains that a group of people are called to do good, inviting them to good deeds and preventing them from evil deeds. In da'wah there are supporting and inhibiting factors in the realization of an activity. An example of a supporting factor is the desire in the heart to believe in Allah SWT in this case implemented by participating in activities. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor itself is the lack of communication and participation from the surrounding environment.
Job Stress and Its Influence on University Staff’s Quality of Life: The Importance of Work-Life Balance and Coworker Support
Authors: Mukhlis Hamid , Harlianty Rully Afrita , Madila Lina
Published: November 2024

Quality of life plays a crucial role in enhancing employee productivity. This study aimed to assess the relationship between job stress and quality of life among university staff, identifying types of stress that positively or negatively impact well-being. A total of 88 university employees participated, with data collected using the New Job Stress Scale and WHOQOL, both adapted into Indonesian. Analyses included one-predictor regression, product moment correlation, independent t-test, and one-way ANOVA to evaluate job stress and quality of life. The results indicated that job stress predicts quality of life and is correlated with all its domains. Specific components of job stress, such as working time, work-related anxiety, role conflict, work-life balance, and coworker support, were significantly related to overall quality of life. No significant differences in job stress were observed based on gender, age, type of work, length of service, education level, or marital status. Similarly, quality of life did not vary by gender, age, type of work, education level, or marital status. However, significant differences in quality of life were found based on service length, with employees working more than five years reporting better quality of life than those with one to three years of service. The findings suggest universities should implement stress management programs and improve work-life balance policies to enhance staff well-being, particularly for long-serving employees.
FACTORS AFFECTING REWARD SYSTEM AND COMMITMENT OF NIGERIA POLICE FORCE
Authors: EKPU Eluemunor Frank , MUKORO Akpomuvire
Published: November 2024

This study examines the factors affecting reward system and employee commitment of Nigeria
Police Force. These factors include evolving workplace cultures, employer management styles, the impact of
jobs, employee personal traits, organizational structure, working conditions, interdepartmental relations,
workplace diversity, and improved job prospects. This study concluded that evaluating commitment is a
contemporary and significant problem for government institutions, including police departments. Despite
their critical role in upholding law and order, police officers frequently work in stressful and frustrating
environments. As a result, the study recommended that the Nigeria Police Force should make a concerted
effort to revisit, assess, and reevaluate the police personnel financial reward programs. The majority of
reward programs and packages are antiquated and out of tune with Nigeria's present economic conditions,
which are marked by price increases, inflation, and rising interest rates. This is due to the possibility that
using the current compensation systems indefinitely could demoralize staff members and cause them to
become less devoted to providing the institutions with high-quality services.
A COMPARATIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF INDIRECT FORMS OF GENDER DISCRIMINATION FROM ROMANIA AND DENMARK AMONG HIGHER EDUCATION EMPLOYEES
Authors: GÂSCĂ Giorgiana Florina , MACARIE Felicia Cornelia
Published: November 2024

Background: Romania, a country with only 3 women rectors out of 54 public state universities, is at the
opposite pole of gender equality to Denmark, which reached a 30% threshold of females in higher
management positions in academia. Nevertheless, despite the cultural differences, this paper manages to
identify similar indirect discrimination issues between the two countries.
Methods: Extending a previous systematic review focused on Romania, the study employs similar research
methods to draw a comparison between Denmark and Romania. Four databases (Research Gate, ProQuest,
JSTOR, and EBSCO) were searched for academic papers referring to indirect forms of discrimination that
occurred at some point in the Danish Higher Education. The papers had to fit one of the four categories
previously identified: recruitment & selection, evaluation, promotion, and collaboration with students,
colleagues, and supervisors.
Results: A total of 11,056 articles were identified in the first step of the search, however, only 24 checked all
the selection criteria and were included in this systematic review. The focus was to identify if current issues
still happening in Romania, occurred at some point in Denmark too. This reasoning helps us to not only draw
a comparison between the two countries but also to identify the period when a leading country dealt with
similar indirect forms of discrimination.
Discussions: Stereotypes affect women’s careers even in a country where the vast majority of the population
embraces gender equality. In Danish Academia, more women than men were employed in temporary
positions or part-time contracts, and the glass ceiling and glass escalator effects are still encountered, but
at a lower rate. Furthermore, in a similar manner to the Romanian culture, the segregation was attributed
to individual preferences, instead of recognizing systemic discrimination occurring in the workplace.
Keywords: gender segregation, higher education management, indirect discrimination

Authors: MASHALA Phuti Rivonia , MAJOLA Brian Kwazi
Published: November 2024

This paper aims to identify barriers to promotion experienced by persons with disabilities at the
selected Limpopo Provincial Departments in South Africa. Furthermore, the paper investigates how persons
with disabilities overcome promotional barriers. The study is exploratory and adopts a qualitative approach.
It focuses on two provincial departments of the Limpopo Province of South Africa. The departments are the
Department of Social Development (DSD) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
(DARD). The total population of the study is 189 and comprises 25 (18 from DSD and 7 from DARD) persons
with disabilities and 164 (22 from DSD and 142 from DARD) human resource officials. Eighteen (18)
respondents were purposively sampled, nine persons with different disabilities and nine human resource
officials. Semi-structured interviews were conducted using an interview guide to allow respondents to
disclose their thoughts and feelings about promotional experiences. Some interviews were conducted face
to-face and others virtually due to time and financial constraints. Data was collected using secondary
information such as government policies, reports, prescripts and publications. Thematic analysis was used
and themes were induced from the interview data. Data was presented in the form of tables and percentages.
The study was limited to persons with disabilities and HRM officials. The findings show that the majority of
persons with disabilities applied for promotion and got promoted. However, they are still in the same
positions they got promoted to in previous years and mentioned several barriers to their promotion. The
findings revealed several barriers to promotion such as a lack of promotional posts and opportunities,
institutional barriers and a lack of assistive devices. The study recommends that a capacity development
programme be introduced to persons with disabilities in provincial departments.

intranet to distribute information and that KDLM should introduce an electronic system which will assist
with an effective goal setting by identifying and establishing key performance indicators aligned with defined
objectives including KPIs that are measurable, specific, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
ASSESS THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER ENTITIES USING EXISTING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL MODELS
Authors: BABA Alina
Published: November 2024

This paper evaluates the financial performance of technology transfer entities (TTEs) by analyzing
both economic and financial models. Traditional financial models, such as Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
and Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), provide insights into investment viability and risk management in
TTEs. Economic models, like IS-LM and growth models, help understand the macroeconomic environment's
influence on technological innovation. Specific models, such as the linear innovation model and the Triple
Helix framework, emphasize the collaboration between academia, industry, and government in fostering
innovation. The integration of real options analysis and venture capital methods further supports investment
decisions in high-uncertainty technological projects. This approach helps TTEs optimize resource allocation
and strategic investments, contributing to sustainable economic growth.

Authors: Lucy Muchena , Nixon Njue
Published: November 2024

Effective leadership practices promote organizational commitment, enhance job satisfaction among employees, and boost individual productivity, leading to improved organizational performance. Conversely, poor leadership has been linked to strikes and lack of commitment among health workers, resulting in loss of lives and sub-optimal health and customer services. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of leadership practices on the performance of level 5 hospitals in Kiambu County, Kenya, specifically focusing on Thika, Kiambu, and Gatundu hospitals. This study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional survey design, employing quantitative methods by administrating questionnaires. The study employed stratified sampling to a sample 254 respondents drawn from a target population of 750 healthcare professionals, including medical officers, nurses, clinical officers, pharmacists, HRIOs, and administrative officers. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to assess the relationship between inclusiveness management practices and hospital performance. The study surveyed 254 hospital staff, revealing a predominantly female workforce (72.1%) with a balanced age distribution, where the largest groups were aged 25-29 and over 50 years (both 19.8%). Nurses formed the majority (67.4%), and most staff held diplomas (43.0%). Key findings highlighted that). The results showed that Diversity Inclusiveness Management was the most significant predictor of hospital performance, with a strong positive correlation (r = .760, p < .001) and a substantial effect in the regression analysis (B = 0.577, p < .001). In conclusion, while hospital performance was generally satisfactory, improvements are needed in timely service delivery and diversity training. Core policy recommendations include increasing diversity training frequency to ensure sustainable healthcare excellence.

Authors: Anne Prof. Sande , Ngina Mwenga Miriam
Published: November 2024

At both global and national levels, efforts have been made to promote utilization of maternal healthcare. Provision of free maternal healthcare services is one of the interventions put in place to reduce infant and maternal mortality rate that occur especially during childbirth. The initiative has been in existence for about seven years in all public hospitals and health centers in Kenya with an aim to achieve Sustainable DevelopmentGoal3 (SDG 3) on universal health. Despite the implementation of free maternal health care service maternal mortality has remained high. The study therefore examined the level of utilization of free maternal healthcare services in Embu County, Kenya for a period of ten years pre and post policy implementation. The study modifies Anderson’s health utilization model to help explain utilization of free maternal healthcare services in public hospitals in Kenya. Secondary data on the utilization of free antenatal care, deliveries and post-natal care was collected from the health facility records. Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 as a tool for data analysis. The best fitting model using the exponential smoothing and ARIMA model were employed in the time series. Secondary data showed increasing trend in utilization from 2008 with peaks between mid-years of 2012 and almost end of 2014, followed by a decline in utilization, then upward growth in 2017 and 2018. Residual data for autocorrelation and partial autocorrelation factors confirmed the trends of the data collected from Embu General Hospital and Kagaari health center. The auto regression model showed that N-ANC, R-ANC and Deliveries were better predicted using the Exponential smoothing model at 0.777 (77.7%); p = 0.0643, 0.736 (34.6%); p = 0.014, and 0.000 (44.4%); p = 0.310. However, the PNC was better predicted using the ARIMA model. The results of this study can be used by policy makers to monitor implementation of free maternal health care services. The study recommends further study on other factors affecting the utilization of free maternal health care.

Purpose: Based on the notoriety of the prevalence of the disease in the current context, this paper aims to cite the main forms of treatment currently applied, highlighting the particularities of each medication used, in addition to highlighting the future perspectives in relation to the disease and preventive measures.
Methodology: To produce the article, a literature review was carried out based on books, epidemiological and experimental papers through searches in Google, academic databases and PubMed.
Findings: Recent studies show a possible relationship between toxoplasmosis and other diseases of the Central Nervous System, such as Parkinson's. Despite years of research aimed at producing an effective vaccine against the disease, it has not yet been possible to obtain one, although there is progress.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: By reviewing data already present in the literature, it is possible to better clarify which are the best forms of diagnosis, as well as the development of new treatments. The graphical analysis of the results indicated fewer studies about risk factors and prevention methods, showing a lack of discussion about these topics and a need to spread this information to try to lower the prevalence of the disease. Therefore, the evolution of disease diagnosis techniques helps in the beginning of treatment, preventing the worsening of the condition in more susceptible people.

Published: November 2024

Objective: To determine the role of total sialic acid (TSA) and lipid bound sialic acid (LBSA) as the early predictors / indicators of oral cancer and precancerous in study subjects.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Basic Medical Sciences Institute, in collaboration with the clinical oncology ward of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi from June 2019 to December 2019. Participants were categorized into three groups: oral cancer (Group A), oral precancer (Group B), and healthy controls (Group C). Blood samples (8 ml) were collected for biochemical analysis of TSA and LBSA levels. Serum proteins were measured using the Biuret reaction method, while TSA and LBSA were quantified via a colorimetric method involving sialic acid's reaction with resorcinol, producing a pink chromosphere measured at 580 nm using a spectrophotometer. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS.
Results: In the Pre-cancer group, TSA levels were significantly higher (78.7 ± 16.62 mg/dl) compared to the Control group (60.2 ± 4.27 mg/dl), (p-0.001). Similarly, LBSA levels were also elevated in the Pre-cancer group (22.7 ± 2.06 mg/dl) compared to Controls (19.8 ± 3.18 mg/dl), (p-0.001). The TP levels were markedly higher in the Pre-cancer group (11.3 ± 2.37 g/dl) compared to the Control group (6.2 ± 0.61 g/dl), (p-0.001). Conversely, the TSA/TP ratio was lower in the Pre-cancer group (7.4 ± 2.72) compared to Controls (9.6 ± 1.26), (p- 0.001).
Conclusion: The TSA and LBSA levels were observed significantly elevated in the pre-cancer group, while the TSA/TP ratio was notably lower and the findings indicating that the TSA and LBSA may serve as potential biomarkers for the early detection of oral pre-cancerous conditions, highlighting their predictive role in the progression towards oral cancer.

Published: November 2024

In the contemporary, ever-evolving, and interconnected global landscape, the achievement of organizational success necessitates more than merely the accumulation of financial and human resources; it increasingly hinges on the establishment of resilient interpersonal networks and the cultivation of a supportive workplace milieu. This investigation undertakes an in-depth examination of the notion of social capital as a strategic asset that complements human capital in advancing comprehensive workforce development. Social capital, which encompasses networks characterized by trust, mutual support, and shared values, serves to enhance human capital by facilitating knowledge exchange, innovation, and collaborative efforts. A mutual relationship is observed between these two forms of capital, wherein social connections encourage the effective application of human competencies, and conversely, human capital reinforces social ties. This research scrutinizes the multifaceted role of social capital in augmenting job satisfaction, psychological well-being, employee engagement, and overall organizational performance, thereby contributing to an expanded social and economic value. Through an extensive literature review, the study additionally elucidates the Balanced Human Capital framework, which incorporates Psychological, Physical, and Social Capital. It proposes practical strategies such as cross-departmental collaboration, peer coaching, and technology-mediated networking to foster the development of social capital. The findings indicate that social capital is pivotal in the formation of resilient and high-performing workforces, promoting not only individual well-being but also organizational prosperity. The study concludes that a well-established social capital infrastructure within organizations is correlated with enhanced employee retention, increased engagement, and the promotion of an inclusive culture, ultimately yielding benefits for both individuals and the wider community.

Published: November 2024

A relação de simbiose entre microbiota intestinal e humano, que ocorre desde o seu nascimento, pode sofrer alterações benéficas ou maléficas a depender do estilo de vida ao longo do tempo. Nesse sentido, a disbiose, que se dá pela desregulação entre microrganismos do trato gastrointestinal (TGI), pode desencadear distúrbios fisiológicos, metabólicos e mentais, afetando a interação do indivíduo com o meio ambiente e social. O presente estudo tem objetivo de investigar e correlacionar as principais evidências relacionadas acerca do tema microbiota e sua relação com transtornos mentais. Foi realizada a pesquisa por meio de revisão bibliográfica de artigos científicos publicados nas vias de disseminação como revistas, artigos e capítulos de livros científicos datados de 2016 a 2023 em língua portuguesa e inglesa. Por meio da interação com regiões cerebrais via eixo intestino-cérebro através de fluxo bidirecional de informações, a disbiose do TGI pode provocar mudanças importantes para a qualidade de vida. Estímulos ansiogênicos, depressogênicos, atencionais, cognitivos e de humor podem ser alterados de acordo com a saúde intestinal do indivíduo por meio da metabolização de neurotransmissores, absorção de nutrientes e viabilização de cascata pró-inflamatória por liberação de citocinas. Desse modo, doenças como depressão, transtorno do espectro autista, doença de Parkinson e ansiedades estão diretamente relacionadas com a composição de microrganismos do intestino. Portanto, nota-se que a manutenção efetiva da microbiota intestinal tem importância fundamental para o bem-estar do indivíduo tanto em âmbito mental quanto fisiológico. Nesse sentido, é notório que profissionais de saúde ponderem a necessidade de cuidado com a saúde intestinal dos pacientes, podendo ser implementada por intermédio de psicobióticos, alimentação regulada e métodos clínicos-farmacológicos.

A adolescência é uma fase de afloramento pessoal, social, comportamental, e com todos os hormônios em ascensão, sucede o início das práticas sexuais, seguido de dúvidas sobre esse período, que comumente faltam orientações familiares, por existirem tabus e incertezas dasinformações. A escola torna-se o ambiente secundário para que seja aprimorada Educação Sexual nos seus amplos aspectos, como as infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (IST’s). Oobjetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o nível de conhecimento dos alunos de uma escola, acerca das infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, no Sertão da Paraíba. Os caminhos metodológicos foram traçados através da aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado com questões acerca das IST’s. Como resultados, as respostas obtidas através do recorte específico da realidade de conhecimento dos alunos sobre as IST’s, apresentam divergências, uma vez que os discentes respondem conhecer sobre as IST’s, no entanto, dados coletados sobre o uso do preservativo evidencia que os adolescentes não fazem o uso devido do preservativo, tornam-se vulneráveis a não somente uma gravidez indesejada, mas de contraírem e transmitirem infecções. Através dos resultados obtidos, foi possível concluir que o nível de conhecimento dos discentes é baixo quando se trata de IST’s, esse fator, ocasiona o aumento do número de adolescentes infectados.

Published: November 2024

Introdução: a docagem cega consiste em uma investigação inicial em busca de cavidades de uma proteína que possam atuar como sítio ativo para um determinado ligante. Sua aplicação é importante especialmente no desenvolvimento e estudo inicial de novos fármacos, antes da realização de outros estudos de docagem molecular. Objetivo: apresentar uma análise do servidor web CB-Dock2® como ferramenta didática para apresentação de conceitos relativos à docagem cega. Material e métodos: foi desenvolvida uma proposta didática para o estudo e apresentação do servidor, usando como modelo os arquivos IBP.SDF e PDB 6M5D, referente respectivamente ao ibuprofeno e à albumina sérica humana. Resultados: as análises de docagem cega baseada em estrutura e em modelos usando o CB-Dock2® mostraram que a cavidade 5/F2 da ASH é a que apresenta a maior probabilidade de interação com o IBP. Pontos positivos e negativos sobre a aplicação didática do CB-Dock2® na apresentação de conceitos de docagem molecular e cega foram discutidos. Conclusões: Embora tenham sido observados alguns pontos negativos, como a disponibilidade do servidor apenas no idioma inglês e a ausência de um menu de ajuda para interpretação de resultados, estes podem ser facilmente resolvidos com a devida orientação de um supervisor ao usuário. Assim, o CB-Dock2® pode ser considerada uma ferramenta didática e acessível, especialmente para alunos de Ensino Superior para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas e para a introdução de conceitos referentes à docagem molecular e à docagem cega.

Authors: Sebullen Michael T. , Jimenez Oliver B.
Published: November 2024

This study examines the connection between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, with a significant mediating role of administrative support among public elementary school teachers. Data was gathered through surveys administered to a representative sample, indicating that transformational leadership positively impacts both administrative support and job satisfaction. Additionally, the findings suggest that administrative support serves as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and teacher satisfaction. These results highlight the critical role of effective leadership and supportive administrative measures in improving teacher satisfaction in educational settings. Understanding this relationship can help schools cultivate an environment where educators feel valued and supported. Ultimately, fostering a culture of collaboration and support may lead to better educational outcomes for both teachers and students. Policymakers and school administrators can leverage these insights to create initiatives that enhance support networks for teachers and promote job satisfaction.

The paper addresses the importance of emotional management and teamwork in the organizational context of a hospital, highlighting that the effectiveness of a team depends on alignment with the organization’s objectives, collaboration between different hierarchical levels, and employee motivation. Leadership plays a crucial role, and the leader must be democratic and involved, promoting an environment of support and effective communication. In addition, the text emphasizes that interaction between team members generates synergies that enhance creativity, flexibility, and productivity. Maslow’s theory of human needs is mentioned, suggesting that satisfying basic needs is fundamental to employee motivation and self-realization. Finally, creating a team spirit and being results-oriented are essential for organizational success.

Mapas táteis para orientação e mobilidade desempenham um papel importante ao permitir que pessoas com deficiências visuais possam ter maior autonomia em seus deslocamentos. Estes recursos auxiliam na orientação espacial, permitindo o reconhecimento prévio do espaço ou de uma rota específica. Considerando a importância desses mapas, este artigo busca identificar as diferentes tipologias de mapas táteis utilizados em edifícios e espaços livres públicos no Brasil. Para atingir este objetivo, utilizou-se o método de levantamento e catalogação de imagens indexadas no banco de imagens do Google. Os dados foram tratados por análise temática e análise de conteúdo. A partir dos dados foi possível relacionar o emprego das diferentes tipologias de mapas em ambientes com usos diferenciados. Os resultados evidenciam que em espaços de uso público que oferecem serviços específicos, como terminais de transporte coletivo, usa-se mais comumente mapas táteis simplificados representados por rotas táteis. Mapas táteis representados por plantas baixas são mais utilizados em espaços culturais ou de contemplação, como museus e praças.
Entre geobioethotipias y paradoja
Authors: Fallas-Vargas Fabrizio
Published: November 2024

Este estudio pondera la raza como categoría analítica fundamental para comprender la alteridad dentro de matrices de sociabilidad atravesadas por la dominación. Se argumenta que la modernidad/colonialidad requirió procesos específicos de clasificación/racialización (geobioethotipias) que terminan elaborando filosóficamente, a través de la inferiorización y la neutralización, un sujeto putativamente universal capaz de sustentar el proyecto identitario de la ratio burguesa y que paradójicamente, aunque sea negada su existencia consigue mantener con éxito, mediante sus efectos, una fractura ideológica al  interior de la matriz de reconocimiento de lo humano.
