Authors: Orellana-Cordero Mónica-del-Rocío , García-Herrera Darwin Gabriel , Erazo-Álvarez Juan Carlos , Narváez-Zurita Cecilia Ivonne
Published: December 2020

El bajo rendimiento académico de los estudiantes en matemática y el rápido crecimiento de las herramientas virtuales online, han producido que los docentes generen cambios en sus métodos de enseñanza y busquen crear o reutilizar objetos virtuales de aprendizaje [OVA], como una opción para mejorar la atención y motivación estudiantil. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar el uso de la herramienta Genial.ly en el diseño de OVA para proponer pautas que permitan mejorar la calidad de objetos matemáticos para bachillerato. Metodológicamente fue de tipo descriptiva y de corte transversal, realizado en base a encuestas online. Se identificó que tanto educadores como estudiantes consideran que los OVA debe tener componentes psicopedagógicos y didácticos. Se concluyó que la selección intencionada de un objeto, su diseño, interactividad, duración y la selección de contenidos, estará supeditada a las metas planteadas por el profesor y su éxito dependerá de la planificación de la clase.

" The Impact Of Student Motıvatıon, Satısfactıon And Loyalty On Student Performance In Unıversıtıtıes."
Authors: Chinomona Dr Elizabeth , Bikissa-Macongue Marie Brinda
Published: December 2020

Manufacturing industry is known as being one of the cores driving force of economy in most countries; due to current environment awareness on environmental pollution, depleting natural resources, waste and climate change it is essential for manufacturing industry to adopt changes in its production system. In other words increasing pressures on manufacturing firms has compelled manufacturers to enhance their environmental performance Choudhary, Nayak, Dora, Mishra and Ghadge (2019) and Jazairy and Von Haartman (2020). In order to respond to environmental pressures or sustainability (Toke & Kalpande 2017) manufacturers today need to be well equipped to handle a variety of pressures to improve the effectiveness of their product while simultaneously looking for ways to cut costs. For authors such as Al-Sheyadi Muyldermans and Kauppi (2019) and Micheli, Cagno, Mustillo and Trianni (2020) GSCM practices has been recognised as an imperative business approach to enhance eco-sustainability and to achieve firm profit as well as market share objectives by decreasing environmental risks and impact. Whereas for Qorri, Mujkić, Gashi and Kraslawski (2018) the conceptualisations of GSCM practices can be seen in extant literature and there is evidence of mixed results relating GSCM practices to firm performance. This confusion leads to a very significant question for this study: What green practices of GSCM should supply chain professionals take into consideration? In the words of Abdel-Baset, Chang and Gamal (2017); Rajeev, Pati, Padhi and Govindan (2017) there is a shortage of studies on green supply chain management practices and performances. This study is envisioned to address this gap and to analyse activities that can contribute to eco-sustainability and green performance in the perspective of GSCM. Accordingly, an extensive literature review of GSCM and green performance were carried out through the examination of six relevant elements which were identified. The aim of this paper is to present a qualitative method through a content analysis approach that allows researchers and practitioners such as supply chain professionals in the manufacturing industry what practices should be considered.

EVALUATING THE ROLE OF KNOWLEDGE IN KAP MODEL ON SELF-PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE: EVIDENCE FROM TUBERCULOSIS PATIENTS IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Mokhtar Khairiah Salwa , Abdul Rahman Nurulhasanah
Published: December 2020

Malaysia aims to end the Tuberculosis (TB) epidemic by the year 2035. However, to ensure a successful program for TB control, it is still a challenge to instil good self-preventive healthcare among patients. Therefore, the study seeks to address the knowledge gap among TB patients and their level of prevention practices which have not been studied extensively in Malaysia. Using questionnaires, this cross-sectional study was conducted among 1606 registered TB patients in selected states of Malaysia from May 2014 to March 2015. General knowledge of TB among TB patients was high - patients from Penang, who resided in suburban areas and self-employed revealed to have high TB knowledge than the others. Thus, by identifying how TB patients view their transmission risk and prevention, practices may contribute to an improved future screening option and enhanced education efforts for medical practitioners to develop more customized programs for TB patients.
Reflection of actions: The Late Bronze Age hoard
from Moravička Sela, north-western Croatia
Authors: Blečić Kavur Martina , Kavur Boris , Starac Ranko
Published: December 2020

The hoard from Moravička Sela in Gorski Kotar (Croatia), discovered thirty years ago, is a medium-sized hoard with a mixed composition, containing typologically different and differently preserved objects. With its defined, most likely reduced inventory, we have acquired a smaller number of tools and weapons, half products and items of symbolic importance. Its place of discovery could be included in the distribution of the hoards of the II Late Bronze Age horizon on the broader territory of Caput Adriae and its hinterland
in the 13th and early 12th century BC. Its composition reflects, in particular, the cultural connections ranging from the south-eastern Alpine region to the wider Pannonian and Carpathian area. Therefore, the hoard from Moravička Sela can be interpreted as a materialized act of precisely determined cultural knowledge from a broader but contemporary cultural network of meaning.
Transcendent Action in the Light of C.S. Peirce's Architectonic System
Authors: Janik Piotr
Published: December 2020

The article presents the key problems relevant to the issue of “transcendent Action,” as Peirce calls it. The author focuses on the relation between “belief” and the “transcendentals:” unity, truth, goodness, and beauty, in their peculiar Peirceian context. He considers firstly “belief” in the sense of “an original impulse to act consistently, to have a definite intention” and, secondly, “Normative Science, which investigates the universal and necessary laws of the relation of Phenomena to Ends, that is, perhaps, to Truth, Right, and Beauty.” Finally, he considers Peirce's defense again two popular accusations: one on the part of the logicians which “confounds psychical truths with psychological truths,” and the second one regarding hedonism.

A compact design for narrowband optical absorber based on surface plasmon polaritons
Authors: Hu Xinguang , Zeng Cheng , Xia Jinsong , Meng Yunji
Published: December 2020

A compact design for realizing narrowband optical absorbers at deep subwavelength is proposed, the physical regime of which is based on the excitation of quasi-surface plasmon polariton (quasi-SPP) mode at metal–substrate interface. Due to its small intrinsic loss balanced with the radiation loss, peak absorbance exceeding 99.9% with full width at half-maximum (FWHM) 2.6 nm is achieved at normal incidence. The spatially resolved feature at fixed wavelength, with narrower angular width and high peak absorbance at larger angle of incidence for TE polarization, makes the design more suitable for potential applications in optical filters, optical measurement, biosensors, and thermal emitters.
DERECHO A LA INTIMIDAD EN EL ÁMBITO LABORAL ¿Privacidad del empleado o salvaguarda del empleador?
Authors: Prattes Falcón Carol
Published: December 2020

Las relaciones laborales están insertas en el contexto de los derechos humanos fundamentales. Entendemos por éstos, a todos los aceptados universalmente para todas las personas, tan sólo por su condición de seres humanos, tales como el derecho a la vida, a la dignidad, a la intimidad, entre otros. Son inespecíficos; genéricos, independientes de la actividad laboral, aunque deben ser considerados en cualquier circunstancia. Asimismo, existen los llamados derechos específicos del trabajo; como ser el descanso semanal, la limitación de la jornada laboral, y otros directamente relacionados con la actividad. Esta investigación trata sobre el derecho a la intimidad que posee todo trabajador en el marco de su ambiente laboral. Por ende, dos aspectos hay que tener en cuenta. Por un lado, sostenemos que el derecho a la intimidad es un derecho humano fundamental. Por otro, protege todo aquello que pertenece a la esfera intima del trabajador. La tecnología de la información y las comunicaciones en el trabajo ha dificultado la aplicación del límite entre el ejercicio de ese derecho y los intereses del empleador. Las relaciones laborales se enfrentan al desafío de conciliar el derecho a la intimidad del trabajador, con el legítimo derecho que tiene el empleador de velar por el éxito y buen nombre de su empresa, más aun, ante la responsabilidad que le corresponde por las acciones de sus trabajadores.
O SISTEMA DE CONCILIAÇÃO NO PROCESSO DO TRABALHO
Authors: Érica Nascimento dos Santos  , Gabriela Queiroz Oliveira  , Íthyla Moreira Carvalho dos Santos  , Laís dos Santos Duarte  , Manuelle Quintela Pires
Published: December 2020

A conciliação desponta como uma importante ferramenta na eficaz resolução de conflitos, e tem sido um alvo perquirido cada vez mais pela Justiça do Trabalho. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo busca compreender o desempenho prático deste instituto, além de suas implicações advindas da Lei n° 13.467 de 2017. Para tanto, com o fito de alcançar os objetivos pretendidos, bem como ratificar ou refutar a hipótese inicialmente aventada de que a conciliação sempre é benéfica ao trabalhador, elegeu-se como base metodológica a pesquisa qualitativa, pautada em um eixo norteador lastreado em dois vieses, quais sejam, uma análise bibliográfica sobre o conteúdo normativo relacionado, enfatizando os posicionamentos dos estudiosos do Direito; e uma pesquisa documental, com base doutrinária e jurisprudencial, aliada à análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se que a conciliação nem sempre se desvela como a melhor saída para o trabalhador, pois, ao passo em que a mesma traz benefícios à parte vulnerável da relação trabalhista, por vezes também representa a supressão de direitos e a mitigação de importantes princípios como o da indisponibilidade. Não obstante a conciliação despontar como uma possibilidade para a resolução de litígios e desafogamento do Judiciário, para que a mesma cumpra o propósito ao qual foi criada, é importante que medidas outras sejam elaboradas, no sentido de garantir que nenhum direito seja tolhido daquele que, historicamente, já carrega em si o peso da vulnerabilidade.
TRABALHO INSALUBRE EM LAVOURA DO ABACAXI NO MUNICÍPIO DE ITABERABA (BA)
Authors: Adriana Gomes Lopes da Silva  , Evandro Cerqueira Barbosa  , Idelvan Andrada Rosa  , Vinícius Teixeira dos Santos  , Zenóbia Brito Mascarenhas de Paula Gomes
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo trata dos problemas enfrentados pelos pequenos agricultores na lavoura do abacaxi em Itaberaba (BA), cujo “carro chefe” é o abacaxi Pérola. O plantio do abacaxi Pérola em Itaberaba começou há cerca de 40 anos, onde as condições climáticas são favoráveis por ter o clima semiárido quente. Só há cerca de 20 anos é que a produção em Itaberaba cresceu entrando para a posição de maior produtor da Bahia. O fungo Fusarium guttiforme, aquele que ataca os abacaxizeiros causando a doença Fusariose, popularmente chamada de resinose ou gomose, torna o fruto impróprio para o consumo. Se a fusariose não for controlada pode ocasionar a perda total da plantação. Na hora do plantio, há que se ter muito cuidado com as mudas para não estarem infectadas. Em uma lavoura tradicional, para combater a fusariose, o agricultor faz o uso de pesticidas, fungicidas, produtos tóxicos que prejudicam a saúde do trabalhador. Portanto, se faz necessário que o trabalhador faça uso correto dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs) para proteger a sua saúde e a sua vida. Mas na prática sabe-se que tanto o empregador quanto o lavrador não levam a sério o uso e a conservação destes equipamentos tornando o trabalho insalubre na lavoura do abacaxi. Nos casos de intoxicação aguda, os sintomas são de tontura, vômitos, náusea, desorientação, sudorese, dificuldade de respiração, salivação em excesso, diarreia, podendo levar ao coma ou a óbito. Os sintomas da intoxicação crônica são diagnosticados pelos distúrbios comportamentais, como, ansiedade, depressão, dor de cabeça, fadiga, irritabilidade, descontrole do sono e atenção. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de buscar informações para saber se é viável continuar produzindo e cultivando o abacaxi Pérola na região de Itaberaba. Os pesquisadores da Embrapa, mandioca e fruticultura, de Cruz das Almas (BA), estão fazendo estudos e experiências em Itaberaba e região.

O ASSÉDIO MORAL ASCENDENTE NAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO SUPERIOR PRIVADAS
Authors: Miranda dos Santos Carlos Cesar
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho versa sobre o assédio moral na relação aluno-professor, especificamente na sua forma ascendente. Esse fenômeno vem ganhando ênfase no cenário educacional brasileiro, principalmente devido ao clientelismo do corpo discente junto com o mercantilismo que paira nas estruturas das instituições de ensino superior privado. O cenário é de desvalorização e depreciação na relação do educador com seus educandos, uma vez que a figura do aluno-cliente se sobressai à do professor. Como consequência, surgem a fragilidade e a falta de respeito ao educador. A partir de revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e estudo do caso, objetivou-se identificar os aspectos motivadores mais relevantes, os tipos e possíveis consequências do assédio moral do aluno em relação aos professores e discutir a maneira como as instituições vêm lidando com a questão. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho qualitativo que, embora não tenha pretensão de exaurir o tema, visa revelar e discutir alguns aspectos relevantes no cenário de precarização do ensino superior devido às relações mercantilizadas dentro do ambiente universitário, em especial o assédio moral do aluno contra o professor do ensino superior.
PANORAMA SOBRE APOSENTADORIA POR TEMPO DE CONTRIBUIÇÃO
Authors: Tolentino de Souza Santos Márlon , Sousa Lima Maria Siloé , Pereira Machado Milena
Published: December 2020

O objetivo do presente trabalho é expor de maneira direta como obter a aposentadoria por tempo de contribuição. Essa aposentadoria é um benefício previdenciário concedido aos segurados quando completar um determinado tempo de contribuição. O tempo necessário de contribuição para obter o benefício é de 35 anos e 30 anos para homens e mulheres nessa ordem necessariamente. E é necessário ter no mínimo 180 meses de contribuição para o INSS, que é o período de carência.

O valor da aposentadoria será de acordo com a média dos 80% maiores salários de contribuição desde julho de 1994 até o mês anterior seu pedido de aposentadoria.

Em 2015 foi implantada aposentadoria progressiva 85/95, atualmente é a aposentadoria 86/96, que é uma alternativa mais vantajosa da aposentadoria por tempo de contribuição, pois permite que o segurado não use o fator previdenciário, torando uma das melhores aposentadorias no Brasil em 2019.

EFFECTIVENESS OF ISCHEMIC COMPRESSION ON TRIGGER POINTS FOR REDUCTION OF PAIN AND SPASM OF TRAPEZIUS MUSCLE
Authors: Rao Mubarra , Shafaq Sadia
Published: December 2020

Myofascial trigger point is a hyperirritable nodule present in a palpable
taut band of skeletal muscle, often results from muscle injury or
repetitive strain that cause pain and tightness. Myofascial trigger
points are one of the most common causes of chronic neck pain.
This study aims to determine the efficacy of ischemic compression in
comparison with myofascial stretching on trigger points of trapezius
muscle for reduction of pain and spasm. Randomized Control Trial.
The study was conducted in Ziauddin Hospital. 96 participants were
enrolled in the study. Participants were divided into two groups
equally and randomly, Group (A) an intervention group treated with
hot pack, ultrasound therapy and ischemic compression, Group (B)
a control group treated with hot pack, ultrasound therapy and
myofascial stretching. This regime was followed thrice a week for
three weeks. Statistically significant (P < 0.05) changes in the values
were found in Group A and Group B for Visual Analog scale and
Penn spasm frequency scale post treatment. The results showed that
there is significant difference found after both interventions for the
treatment of pain and spasm caused by myofascial trigger point. It
cannot be said that ischemic compression is more effective than
myofascial stretching for the treatment of myofascial trigger points
of trapezius muscle.
GOLDEN ERA FOR REHABILITATION SCIENCES WITH ENORMOUS CHALLENGES
Authors: Darain Dr. Haider
Published: December 2020

Education in rehabilitation sciences have seen a boom in the last two decades in Pakistan and a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses have been introduced in the country. Up gradation of BS physical therapy into DPT program, BS Occupational Therapy into Doctor of Occupational Therapy, introduction
of BS programs in Allied Health Sciences including Speech and Language pathology, Respiratory therapy, prosthetics and orthotics are glimpses of development of rehabilitation sciences in the country.
Moreover, establishment of new rehabilitation centers have increased in number and a variety of patients with different rehabilitation needs. These new centers might be helpful to fulfill the potential up coming demand and competition for quality in healthcare services in the country. It seems plausible that with
enhanced skills of the professionals produced in the field of rehabilitation, the demand of consumers for having best quality will raise and sooner the need of having set national standards for these professions will be realized by the concerned authorities. At the moment, the authorities seem least interested in the formation of regularity bodies for individual profession.

To provide the population with high-quality milk and dairy products, to increase the production of milk fat, protein, carbohydrates and other substances, it is necessary to take measures to improve the chemical composition of milk. The article presents the results of research on the composition and properties of different portions of cow's milk of morning and evening milking. It was found that the composition of milk is different and depends on the portions. The mass fraction of protein, lactose, salt, skimmed milk solids is high in the milk of the first portion, the mass fraction of fat and milk solids is high in the last portion. The milk density of the first portion is maximum, and the last portion is minimal. It was found that depending on the portions, the composition of morning milking milk changes more than the composition of evening milking milk.

This article presents the results of determining the level of perinatal infection of calves with the bovine leukemia virus at the age from birth to colostrum intake and 1-1.5 months after birth when drinking milk from healthy individuals, excluding the alimentary transmission route, with an infection frequency of 5.4% in the surveyed farm. Improvement of molecular diagnostics based on genomic analysis in the scheme of complex antiepizootic/recreational measures for bovine leukemia has been carried out in order to improve the quality of dairy products. As part of the implementation and improvement of the scheme of preventive measures, a positive trend was found, expressed in a tendency to a 3.6-fold decrease in the frequency of detection of BLV infection of young animals. In the course of work, the efficiency of the use of a gene diagnostic test - multiplex PCR-RT – as a tool for the specific prevention of bovine leukemia of calves in the early stages of the disease was shown: the relative diagnostic sensitivity of the PCR-RT technique is at a level not lower than that of the serological method and differs in the side of overestimation by 3.8 times.
Evaluation of Different Designs of Isolated Cells to Raise Single Rice Seedlings for SRI Mechanized Transplanting
Authors: Mohd. Soom Mohd Amin , Awang Azwan , Jalloh Mohamadu Boyie
Published: December 2020

Numerous benefits of the system of rice intensification (SRI) have been documented since SRI was popularized 30 years ago. To date, more than 58 rice growing countries are practicing SRI, covering around 4 million ha of paddy fields and involving more than 10 million farmers. Many paddy farmers shy away from practicing SRI due to  extreme labour endurance and number of labors required, especially during transplanting and frequent weeding. The manual transplanting technique to ensure proper root establishment of the seedlings, makes SRI less appealing to many paddy farmers. Furthermore, the transplanting shock is a problem arises from manual transplanting technique needs to be solved  that resulted to damaged roots causing  delays in crop establishment and reducing productivity. Mechanized transplanting of the young single seedlings into the paddy fields at a wider  plantation area  eliminates drudgery and enables better exposure to sunlight, water, air, and nutrients. This paper presents a solution to overcome the problem of transplanting shock and the  back-breaking manual transplanting, which was achieved by containing the roots of each seedling in a grid of isolated cells. Several designs of the isolated cells to contain the root system were fabricated and tested. These include using aluminum square cells, polyvinyl chloride pipe circular cells, biodegradable grid cells, biodegradable conical capsules, and germinated seeds sowed in a grid without isolated cells. The typical grid cell size was 15 mm by 15 mm with a depth of each cell varied from 40 mm to 60 mm. The most promising design was one with single seedlings raised in bio-degradable capsules arranged close together to fit the conventional rice seedling tray of 300 mm by 600 mm and can accommodate 684 capsules per tray. Upon reaching 2-3 leaf stage, the seedlings with undisturbed roots are ready to be transplanted into the paddy fields using the currently available rice transplante rs.

EEl reconocimiento universitario a los Estudios de Género no está generalizado, lo cual ha implicado que no siempre se propicie un trabajo de formación, docencia e investigación que dé respuesta a las necesidades del currículo formativo que combine la enseñanza teórica en el aula y prácticas en instituciones que trabajan por la igualdad de género.

En ese sentido, los artículos presentados en este número de la revista Universidades de la UDUAL nos acercan a diversas maneras en las que las universidades responden a esta necesidad.

In Kenya, SMEs are businesses employing between 1-50 people and maybe either in formal or informal sectors and may also be in farm or non-farm categories. Due to the sector importance, Kenya has enacted several laws in support of SMEs. The SMEs require a concerted effort from both private and public since the sector draws stakeholders from both. To enhance their sustainability in the economy, the SMEs require serious empirical research in order to elicit the constraints with the goal of developing proactive remedial frameworks so that their existence may be promoted. Amongst the numerous challenges that constrain the working of SMEs is inadequate financing, thus the derivative of the overall goal of this study. The study location was Meru town. The descriptive research design was used. As per the Meru county government records, 160 SMEs are permitted and have been in operation for not less than 3 years. From every SME, one respondent was used. Census was adopted as the study design informed by the small population and the ease of reaching the respondents. A questionnaire was used to collect data through a drop-pick method which was done in three days’ time. Data analysis was through descriptive methods. Data analysis was assisted by SPSS version 22 by subjection to regression analysis to establish the existence of relatedness between the dependent and independent variables. Presentation of results was done through tables. Analysis done indicated the existence of crucial relations between the process of loaning. Regression analysis results indicated the loaning procedure had a significant effect on credit accessibility among SMEs in Meru Town. It was recommended further study to be conducted to find out the other determinants of credit accessibility amongst SMEs in Meru town.
Organisational Culture and Employee Motivation in a Selected Telecommunications Firm in Botswana: The Moderating Effect of The Reward System
Authors: Makambe Ushe , Charles Victor
Published: December 2020

An organisation’s reward system is arguably one of the most critical elements of organisational culture with an enormous bearing on employee motivation. The resolve of this study was to debunk the nexus between the reward system and employee motivation in a selected organisation. A discussion of extant literature on the nexus between reward as a critical component of organisational culture and employee motivation was conducted. An empirical investigation of the relationship between the dependent and the independent variables was pursued using a positivist research paradigm whence a quantitative methodology was used to gather data through a structured self-administered questionnaire hence a survey research design. The results of the study confirmed the hypothesised relationship between the selected firm’s reward system and employee motivation. The inadequacies of the organisation’s reward structure against the requirements of effective employee motivation were exposed. For instance, the rewards offered by the organisation did not meet employee needs and expectations and were not proportionate to the quality of employee output. There was a preference for monetary compensation in place of non-monetary rewards thus promoting extrinsic rather than intrinsic motivation. This study unravelled the positive and negative effects of an organisation’s reward system on employee motivation. An organisational culture that is premised on an effective reward system is the panacea to effective human resources management. To enhance employee motivation through the reward system, management of the selected firm should facilitate the development of a well-articulated psycho-social contract that is agreed upon between top management and employees which should explicitly spell-out the expectations of both parties that must be fulfilled at all times.

According to the results of the study, it was found that irradiation of the tabletted preparation of pentoxifylline leads to an increase in its antiaggregatory activity. The aim of this work is to study the effect of a pulsed magnetic field of high intensity on the antiaggregatory activity of the pure substance of petoxifylline. When exposed to a pulsed magnetic field on the pure substance of pentoxifylline (without the presence of excipients), changes in the antiaggregatory activity of the drug were not detected. Irradiation with a pulsed magnetic field was carried out on an MIU-15 setup at various magnetic field strengths with single-turn and multi-turn inductors with the number of pulses n = 1. The authors put forward a hypothesis that excipients in a tabletted medicinal product affect the change in biological activity after exposure to the drug by a pulsed magnetic field of high intensity. The study of the pure substance of pentoxifylline for antiaggregatory activity was carried out on an AT-02 platelet aggregation analyzer. Control samples of the medicinal product were not exposed to the magnetic field. It is assumed that the presence of excipients in the tablet form of pentoxifylline after exposure to a pulsed magnetic field can cause a change in the conformation of the drug molecule. In addition, a transition from one conformation to another is possible due to abrupt changes in properties, i.e. when exposed to a high-intensity magnetic field. An antiplatelet agent with excipients, being in a magnetic field, goes into a more active state, after which it retains it for some time, in which an increase in pharmacological activity is manifested.

Scientific research shows that ensuring the reliability of the product, reducing the time and cost of its production, is achieved, first, by coordinating the interests of the company's employees in the process of organizing the production of the product; secondly, by implementing modern information systems and technologies at the stages of design and technological preparation of the enterprise's production. The introduction of information systems and technologies in the enterprise, as well as any production process, involves the interaction of employees of the enterprise, between which there may be conflicts of interest. Accordingly, the relevance of this research is determined by the need to identify these conflicts and take measures to eliminate them.
