Mitigating Ecotoxicity Risks of Pesticides on Ornamental Plants Based on Life Cycle Assessment
Authors: Yin Xinhan , Feng Lei , Gong Yi
Published: April 2023

Ornamental plants such as floriculture and nurseries, have become increasingly popular, but their growth relies heavily on the use of many different types of pesticides. The widespread and inefficient use of these pesticides causes environmental pollution and damage to non-target organisms. Despite these impacts, there has been little research conducted on potential agrochemical pollution in the ornamental plant industry. To address this gap, a life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to evaluate the pesticide-related freshwater ecotoxicity impact of the US ornamental plant industry in comparison to that of major field crops. The study analyzed 195 pesticide active ingredients used in 15 major ornamental plant and four field crops. Results showed that the freshwater ecotoxicity per area (PAF m3 d/ha) of ornamental plants was significantly higher than that of field crops due to the high pesticide intensity (kg/ha) and ecotoxicity of insecticides and fungicides used in floriculture and nurseries. To mitigate environmental stress, minimizing the use of highly toxic pesticides is recommended. A ban on low-dose, high-toxicity pesticides could reduce pesticide-driven ecotoxicity by 34% and 49% for floriculture and nursery plants, respectively. This study is among the first to quantify the pesticide-driven ecotoxicity impacts of horticultural ornamental plants and proposes feasible ways to reduce these impacts, thus making the world more sustainable while still preserving its beauty.

Published: April 2023

The occurrence of acute myocarditis following the administration of mRNA vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 remains relatively rare, and it is associated with a very low mortality rate. The incidence varied by vaccine type, sex, and age and after the first, second, or third vaccination dose. However, the diagnosis of this condition often remains challenging. To further elucidate the relationship between myocarditis and SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines, starting with two cases observed at the Cardiology Unit of the West Vicenza General Hospital located in the Veneto Region, which was among the first Italian areas hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, we performed a review of the available literature to highlight the clinical and diagnostic elements that could contribute to suspicion of myocarditis as an adverse event of SARS-CoV-2 immunization.

In 2003, the United States saw an epidemic of monkeypox that was later traced back to rodents of West Africa infected with the monkeypox virus (MPXV). Disease in the United States seemed less severe than the smallpox-like disease in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In this study, researchers analyzed data from Central Africa: two distinct MPXV clades were confirmed by sequencing the genomes of MPXV isolates from Western Africa, the United States, and Central Africa. By comparing open reading frames across MPXV clades, scientists can infer which virus proteins might account for the observed variation in pathogenicity in humans. Monkeypox can be prevented and controlled with a better understanding of MPXV’s molecular etiology and epidemiological and clinical features. In light of the current outbreaks worldwide, we provide updated information on monkeypox for medical professionals in this review.

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection is responsible for causing a disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations. Predisposition to thromboembolic disease due to excessive inflammation is also attributed to the disease. The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical and laboratory aspects of hospitalized patients, in addition to studying the pattern of serum cytokines, and associate them with the occurrence of thromboembolic events. Methodology: A retrospective cohort study with 97 COVID-19 patients hospitalized from April to August 2020 in the Triângulo Mineiro macro-region was carried out. A review of medical records was conducted to evaluate the clinical and laboratory aspects and the frequency of thrombosis, as well as the measurement of cytokines, in the groups that presented or did not present a thrombotic event. Results: There were seven confirmed cases of thrombotic occurrence in the cohort. A reduction in the time of prothrombin activity was observed in the group with thrombosis. Further, 27.8% of all patients had thrombocytopenia. In the group that had thrombotic events, the levels of IL1b, IL-10, and IL2 were higher (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In the studied sample, there was an increase in the inflammatory response in patients with thrombotic events, confirmed by the increase in cytokines. Furthermore, in this cohort, a link was observed between the IL-10 percentage and an increased chance of a thrombotic event.

Published: April 2023

We aimed to determine the attitudes and behaviors of breastfeeding mothers regarding the vaccine by examining their knowledge of the COVID-19 virus vaccine and their hesitations about it. The research is a cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted in the Kahta district of Adıyaman, a southeastern province in Turkey, between January and May 2022. The study population consisted of 405 mothers who applied to the Kahta State Hospital Pediatrics outpatient clinic. A questionnaire form was used as a data collection tool, and a consent form was obtained from the participants. The vaccination rate (89%) of those who graduated from high school and above was significantly higher than that of those who graduated from secondary school or below (77.7%). As the economic situation worsened, the vaccination rate decreased. The vaccination rate (85.7%) of mothers whose breastfed child was 0–6 months old was found to be significantly higher than that of those with 7–24-month-olds (76.4%) (p:0.02). The rate of being vaccinated (73.3%) of those who had a new type of COVID-19 virus infection was significantly lower than the rate of being vaccinated (86.3%) of those who did not have a COVID-19 virus infection. The vaccination rate of those who received information from their family doctor and the internet was higher than that of those who received information from radio/TV and people around. The rate of mothers thinking babies should stop breastfeeding who graduated from secondary school or below was higher (53.2%) than the rate of mothers who graduated from high school or above (30.2%) to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. To eliminate the hesitancy about vaccination in mothers, it is necessary to inform and educate the whole society correctly, starting with families with low education and economic levels.
Toll-Like Receptors and the Response to Radiotherapy in Solid Tumors: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Haroun Ryma , Naasri Sahar , Oweida Ayman J.
Published: April 2023

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are indispensable for the activation, maintenance and halting of immune responses. TLRs can mediate inflammation by recognizing molecular patterns in microbes (pathogen-associated molecular patterns: PAMPs) and endogenous ligands (danger-associated molecular patterns: DAMPs) released by injured or dead cells. For this reason, TLR ligands have attracted much attention in recent years in many cancer vaccines, alone or in combination with immunotherapy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT). TLRs have been shown to play controversial roles in cancer, depending on various factors that can mediate tumor progression or apoptosis. Several TLR agonists have reached clinical trials and are being evaluated in combination with standard of care therapies, including RT. Despite their prolific and central role in mediating immune responses, the role of TLRs in cancer, particularly in response to radiation, remains poorly understood. Radiation is recognized as either a direct stimulant of TLR pathways, or indirectly through the damage it causes to target cells that subsequently activate TLRs. These effects can mediate pro-tumoral and anti-tumoral effects depending on various factors such as radiation dose and fractionation, as well as host genomic features. In this review, we examine how TLR signaling affects tumor response to RT, and we provide a framework for the design of TLR-based therapies with RT.
Circulating Biomarkers to Predict Diabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease

Published: April 2023

The purpose of this review is to outline the currently available circulating biomarkers to predict diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Studies have extensively reported the association between DR and DKD, suggesting the presence of common pathways of microangiopathy. The presence of other ocular complications including diabetic cataracts may hinder the detection of retinopathy, which may affect the visual outcome after surgery. Unlike DKD screening, the detection of DR requires complex, costly machines and trained technicians. Recognizing potential biological markers related to glycation and oxidative stress, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, basement membrane thickening, angiogenesis, and thrombosis as well as novel molecular markers involved in the microangiopathy process may be useful as predictors of retinopathy and identify those at risk of DR progression, especially in cases where retinal visualization becomes a clinical challenge. Further investigations could assist in deciding which biomarkers possess the highest predictive power to predict retinopathy in clinical settings.
Removal of Haloacetic Acids via Adsorption and Biodegradation in a Bench-Scale Filtration System
Authors: Vines Melanie , Terry Leigh G.
Published: April 2023

Brominated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are a concern to drinking water utilities due to their toxicity and increasing prevalence in water systems. Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are a class of DBPs that are partially regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), but regulations are likely to increase as evidenced by the brominated HAAs listed on the USEPA Fourth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule and Fifth Contaminant Candidate List. Utilities often use a pre-oxidant to assist in their treatment training, but this can lead to increased HAA formation during treatment. In this study, tap water was spiked with bromine (Br2) at varying concentrations to simulate bromine-to-chlorine ratios found in the natural environment and the DBPs that may be formed from those waters. The water was fed through a bench-scale biological filter (biofilter) with a small layer of fresh granular activated carbon (GAC) media followed by acclimated anthracite media. The HAA species studied were found to be removable by an average of 89.5% through combined GAC filtration and biofiltration. Biodegradation occurred predominantly in the first five minutes for the acclimated anthracite, with minimal additional removal observed at longer empty bed contact times (15 and 30 min EBCT). This study provides recommendations on biofilter parameters for utilities to reduce the formation of both regulated and unregulated HAAs during the drinking water treatment process.

Published: April 2023

The objective of this study was to assess the performance of form-based and process-based models, and of local-scale and reach-scale models, used to examine bank retreat and sediment transport in stream restoration. The evaluated models were the Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI), Bank Assessment for Nonpoint Source Consequences of Sediment (BANCS), Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM), and HEC River Analysis System (HEC-RAS 1D). Model-to-model assessments were conducted to quantify the impact of model selection when predicting applied stress and geomorphic change in a restored stream in North Carolina, USA. Results indicated that the mobility of the bed dictated model selection at the reach-scale. The process-based HEC-RAS 1D was needed to accurately analyze the sand-bed stream, predicting amounts of geomorphic change comparable to measured data and up to three orders of magnitude higher than those from local-scale models. At the local-scale, results indicated that the bank retreat mechanism and flow variability constrained model selection. The form-based BEHI and BANCS did not directly account for geotechnical failure nor capture severe floods, underpredicting amounts of geomorphic change by an order of magnitude when compared to the process-based BSTEM, and failing to characterize erosion potential and applied stresses after short-term morphodynamic adjustments.
Ammonia Influences the Zooplankton Assemblage and Beta Diversity Patterns in Complicated Urban River Ecosystems

Published: April 2023

Beta diversity represents the spatial or temporal variation of species diversity among sampling sites and may be composed of two elements: turnover (Brepl, replacement of species assemblages) and nestedness (Brich, loss or gain of species assemblages). Knowledge of the mechanisms driving beta diversity contributes to an understanding of the variation in aquatic ecosystem community structures. We sampled zooplankton assemblages at 24 sites in 11 rivers in Shanghai City and conducted a nutrient addition experiment to elucidate the effects of various environmental variables on the community structure and beta diversity patterns of the zooplankton. The zooplankton assemblages in the rivers differed significantly at ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentrations below (Group I) and above (Group II) 1.03 mg·L−1. The nutrient addition experiment further demonstrated that the composition of the zooplankton assemblages changed markedly along an ammonia concentration gradient (0.2 to 5.0 mg N·L−1). The total beta diversity of Group I was considerably higher than that of Group II, indicating that high nutrient (ammonia) pollution led to biotic homogeneity. Overall, turnover was the key factor determining the total beta diversity of the two groups, suggesting the key importance of replacement of zooplankton assemblages. Furthermore, we found a correlation between environmental factors (mainly nitrogen content) and the beta diversity of zooplankton, and beta diversity (Brepl and Btotal) decreased with increasing trophic state. These findings provide further insight into the changing characteristics of the beta diversity patterns of zooplankton in river networks and may help to guide managers dealing with conservation strategies for aquatic biodiversity preservation in urban river ecosystems.

Human land use land cover changes (LULCCs) can cause impacts on watershed lands and on water resources. The regions with land use conflict suffer more intense erosion processes due to their high slope and drainage density. The study intends to evaluate scenarios with an absence of land use conflict and verify if it can contribute to reductions in surface runoff, avoiding the carriage of tailings to river channels. In the study, the SWAT model was used in the hydrological modeling of the Paraopeba River watershed affected by the rupture. The results show that the SWAT model was able to reproduce the flow data with good and very good performances. The quality indicators in the calibration step were NSE = 0.66, R2 = 0.69, PBIAS = 5.2%, and RSR = 0.59, and in the validation, step were NSE = 0.74, R2 = 0.77, PBIAS = 13.5%, and RSR = 0.51. The LULCC from 2000 to 2019 led to a 70% increase in lateral runoff (LATQ) and a 74% decrease in aquifer groundwater. The scenario of land use capability and no conflict can reduce lateral runoff by 37% and increase water infiltration by 265%, minimizing the point and diffuse contamination of the tailings in the Paraopeba river channel.

Published: April 2023

Water conservation is an essential indicator of the hydrological regulation capacity of terrestrial ecosystems. At the regional scale, the water conservation capacity of an ecosystem is typically assessed using the water balance model (WBM). However, the estimation of the runoff depth relies heavily on rainfall data and the ecosystem runoff coefficient look-up table, which introduces uncertainties in the assessment results. To address this issue, this study constructed a new method for quantifying the spatiotemporal distribution pattern of runoff depth based on the ecosystem type and regional spatial heterogeneity characteristics using runoff observation data from hydrological observation stations. We use this new method to evaluate the water conservation capacity of the ecosystem on a regional scale and compare and analyze the differences between the new and old methods in terms of connotation, data format, and evaluation results. Finally, we discuss the advantages and potential applications of the new method.
A Hipocrisia da Filosofia Latino-Americana
Authors: Silveira Ronie Alexsandro Teles
Published: April 2023

A crítica é uma espécie de pedra de toque para toda a filosofia latino-americana. Isso porque temos sido críticos na medida em que aprendemos os procedimentos epistemológicos da filosofia ocidental. Porém, a crítica não possui hegemonia na América Latina porque ela adquiriu funcionalidades divergentes com relação ao modelo original. Daí que somos críticos e não somos. O acerto de contas com essa ambiguidade nos mostra que temos sido involuntariamente hipócritas. A evidência disso é que não conseguimos abrir mão da crítica para avaliar a situação efetiva dessa ambiguidade. Com isso, não somente incorremos em uma forma de círculo lógico como resvalamos para o conforto da filosofia europeia. Para abandonar essa hipocrisia involuntária só nos resta o caminho de descobrir que não somos europeus.

Published: April 2023

The purpose of the research is to analyze the problem of document management in the sphere of higher education and to determine potential ways to solve them using the example of the Ukrainian experience. The content analysis of modern pedagogical literature showed the problems of the documentary support. On the basis of the system method, document management is considered as a dynamic system that changes according to modern conditions. Based on the prognostic method, possible prospects for the development of the latest documentation systems are highlighted. In results it is shown, that the modern documentary system completely deviates from the old principles of the formation of the administrative apparatus in several directions. Framework recommendations have been formed for determining the development vectors of document and communication support, and they can be extended to similar systems of formation, support, and storage of documents of the management (administrative) staff. The conclusions established that the current system of organizing documentary support in the educational sphere of Ukraine actually contains archaisms. It is proposed to integrate Blockchain-technologies into the implemented educational SEMDs, which will potentially ensure inter-level communication channels of the participants in the document creation process of higher education of Ukraine.

Published: April 2023

The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of gamification on learning during martial law. An analysis of learning results and academic motivation of students who studied using gamification elements and the traditional "lecture-seminar" model was carried out. Academic motivation was assessed using the standard AMS-C questionnaire. It was found that the gamification of education contributed to the increase in the number of students who obtained Level B and reduction in the number of students who had Levels E and D. The use of gamification in general contributed to the strengthening of the motivation for learning, achievement and self-development. Feedback from students revealed that not all students liked the lack of correct action algorithms and the use of leader boards. It was established that the use of gamification during martial law contributed to an increase in the number of positive scores for the test exam and an enhanced intrinsic motivation. Learning motivation decreased among students who were trained with the use of gamification. Students’ external motivation did not change under the influence of gamification of learning.

Published: April 2023

The importance of musical and aesthetic education of young people to form their spiritual world in modern conditions of the information society is clarified. The approaches of scientists to understanding the phenomenon of "musical and aesthetic education" are generalized, which gives grounds to assert that this concept is: a component of the spiritual development of the individual, his artistic and emotional sphere, aesthetic attitude to the surrounding reality; a means of developing his musical abilities in the process of conscious perception of works of musical art and critical attitude to musical phenomena; a specially organized purposeful process of forming musical qualities and musical and aesthetic consciousness of the individual. The main purpose of musical education is to teach children to understand music by familiarizing children with folk music, works of great composers and organizing music circles where you can study musical literacy, music history, and learn to play musical instruments. It is proved that teenagers are the most susceptible to the influence of music, since they are passionate about listening to music and are included in performing musical activities, striving to improve melodic hearing, fret sense, develop harmonious hearing, auditory representations and musical abilities.

Production of Flood Risk Maps of Inebolu Basin Using Different Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Methods
Authors: ARCA Deniz , YALCİN Femin
Published: April 2023

Flood events, which are considered as natural disasters, cause significant loss of life and property throughout the world. In order to be fully prepared for the flood, which is a disaster of meteorological origin, it is necessary to create flood risk susceptibility maps. Flood risk susceptibilities are values determined by considering different criteria that may cause flooding. Determining the weights of these criteria is also a problem that needs to be addressed. Due to the hierarchical structure of the aforementioned criteria, the problem of determining flood risk sensitivity was deemed suitable to be modeled as a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem, and a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) based model was used in this study. The use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in basin studies is increasing day by day. Geographic Information Systems are used to collect, process and analyze existing data in order to identify potential risk areas. In this study, flood risk susceptibility maps of the İnebolu Basin, located within the borders of Kastamonu province in the west of the Black Sea Region of Turkey, were created by using different fuzzy analytic hierarchy process methods and the obtained results were compared with each other.
Deconstrucción, reconstrucción y lucha por el Derecho
Authors:   , Furfaro Cristian Andrés
Published: April 2023

En la presente tesis analizamos el proceso de deconstrucción, reconstrucción y lucha por el Derecho, emergente a partir de las prácticas desarrolladas por programas de extensión universitaria de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata en articulación con organizaciones sociales, entre los años 2011 y 2019. En tanto el interés inicial de nuestro trabajo era indagar sobre la incorporación de otros sujetos al proceso de producción de conocimientos y prácticas en el campo jurídico, seleccionamos los casos del Programa de Niñez, Derechos Humanos y Políticas Públicas, el Centro de Atención a Víctimas de Violencia de Género y el Centro de Atención Jurídica Gratuita para la Agricultura Familiar, en razón de que estos programas se habían propuesto generar espacios de articulación con organizaciones sociales, lo que a priori, constituía a las articulaciones que se producían en relaciones fundamentales para el abordaje de las problemáticas. El análisis de los casos nos permitió observar no solo las prácticas desarrolladas, sino también la planificación de los procesos, la producción de conocimientos y las herramientas que se construyeron y utilizaron. La investigación se nutrió de la información producida a partir del análisis de documentos elaborados por los programas de extensión y las organizaciones sociales, de las entrevistas realizadas a sus integrantes y de los registros de las actividades desarrolladas. El trabajo de campo se realizó entre los años 2015 y 2022. El trabajo de tesis doctoral nos permitió reflexionar sobre los procesos de articulación desarrollados, las herramientas, estrategias y abordajes construidos, y los modos de producción del Derecho. Las prácticas que analizamos producen un corrimiento en el límite de lo jurídico, al ampliar los actores que participan de la construcción de conocimientos, modificar las modalidades de construcción, y construir herramientas, estrategias y abordajes alternativos.

Коротко перелічено та дано характеристику існуючих на ринку систем багтрекнгу. Названо переваги та недоліки таких систем, як Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT), Jira, YouTrack. YouTrack пропонований JetBrains як хмарний або автономний сервер. Є можливість управління проектами, користувачами, групами і ролями. JetBrains надає свій YouTrack для безкоштовного використання розробникам відкритих проектів і для навчання. YouTrack доступний також у вигляді сервісу (SaaS). Обмеження безкоштовної версії YouTrack: не більше десяти користувачів; хмарна версія має обмеження на об’єм зберігання даних. Jira можна створювати проекти через e-mail. Існує можливість імпорту звітів в Excel, а також можливість Wiki-форматування. Підтримує інтеграцію з Confluence. Даний багтрекер здатний працювати через захищене з’єднання із застосуванням SSL. Зокрема, для Mantis Bug Tracker сказано, що система має гнучкі можливості конфігурування, що дозволяє настроювати її не тільки для роботи над програмними продуктами, але і в якості системи обліку заявок для технічної підтримки. Вона надає наступні можливості: простота в установці; немає обмежень на кількість користувачів, проблем або проектів; прийнятна швидкість роботи; підтримує основні платформи ОС; підтримує декілька СУБД; високий рівень настройки; інтуїтивно зрозумілий огляд помилок; надсилання повідомлень електронною поштою; відстеження часу; модулі, які значно покращують використання MantisBT; експорт в CSV, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word; інтеграція управління вихідним кодом (GIT, SVN і CVS). До недоліків системи можна віднести: якість інтерфейсу; відсутність можливості генерування звіту про виконану роботу та можливості автоматизації, а також те, що у процесі створення звіту про помилку до нього можна прикріпити тільки один знімок екрану. За допомогою Mantis Bug Tracker проведено відстежування помилок системою Mantis Bug Tracker на сайті університету МЕГУ та зроблено рекомендації з усунення виявлених помилок. В роботі приведено також фрагмент коду згідно якого відбувалось відслідковування помилок сайту.
РОЗРОБКА АРХІТЕКТУРИ ПРОГРАМНОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ПРОГНОЗУВАННЯ І УПРАВЛІННЯ ТЕРМОГАЗОДИНАМІЧНИМИ ПРОЦЕСАМИ І РАДІАЦІЙНИМ СТАНОМ НОВОГО БЕЗПЕЧНОГО КОНФАЙНМЕНТУ ЧАЕС

Новий безпечний конфайнмент (НБК) – це захисна споруда, збудована над існуючим об’єктом «Укриття», яка включає в собі комплекс технологічного обладнання для вилучення зі зруйнованого четвертого енергоблоку Чорнобильської АЕС матеріалів, що містять ядерне паливо, поводження з радіоактивними відходами та інші системи, призначені для здійснення діяльності з перетворення цього енергоблоку на екологічно безпечну систему. Дах та стіни об’єкту «Укриття» мають велику кількість щілин, через які проникає повітря та радіоактивні аерозолі в основний об’єм НБК, а звідти в довкілля. Через перепади температур, які залежать від пори року та режиму роботи персоналу при розбиранні завалів усередині НБК виникають нестаціонарні термогазодинамічні процеси теплової конвекції та руху повітря. Необхідність управління вологістю повітря для подовження терміну використання НБК та забезпечення радіаційної безпеки вимагають розробки спеціалізованих інформаційних технологій. Метою даної роботи є розробка архітектури програмного забезпечення прогнозування і управління термогазодинамічними процесами і радіаційним станом НБК ЧАЕС на основі технології цифрових двійників. Проведено аналіз архітектури та функціональних можливостей існуючої інтегрованої системи управління НБК. Враховуючи недостатній рівень реалізації потреб у візуалізації та прогнозуванні в ІСУ НБК, зазначено необхідність використання її даних як основи для вирішення задач візуалізації, прогнозу та управління за допомогою цифрового двійника. Визначено основні вимоги до побудови цифрового двійника НБК та на основі огляду основних типів цифрових двійників і наявних підходів до формування їх архітектури представлено узагальнену структурну схему цифрового двійника НБК.
Mujeres mexicanas que han hecho historia en el mundo de las finanzas

Published: April 2023

Las finanzas se han estudiado desde muchos puntos de vista, histórico, teórico, práctico e incluso a hombres involucrados en el tema. Pero sobre mujeres mexicanas con historia en actividades financieras es una asignatura pendiente, de ahí el interés por cubrir este vacío. Este ensayo buscó describir y presentar el rol, importancia y trascendencia nacional de las mujeres mexicanas a lo largo de la historia en materia de finanzas. Nuestro interés se centra en mujeres mexicanas con participación extraordinaria, aquellas que son un hito histórico al ser la primera en incursionar en una institución o mercado en el cual la presencia era exclusivamente masculina o porque son un caso de éxito que permitió destacarse en el mundo financiero. Se concluye que, el personal femenino en instituciones financieras como organismos reguladores, intermediarios financieros o los mercados ha sido importante e incluso relativamente numeroso, pero su presencia en niveles directivos y de alto nivel prácticamente es inexistente en relación con la cantidad de hombres que han participado.
Posibles efectos positivos de la pandemia COVID-19: A tres años de la nueva normalidad

Published: April 2023

It is difficult to imagine that the COVID-19 pandemic has generated any benefit or positive effect on the lives of human beings. Many people have suffered the loss of family and friends, added to this the fact that the audiovisual media and social networks have been bombarded with negative news highlighting the mass death and negative consequences of the pandemic. This article has a mixed approach, of a phenomenological paradigm with a non-experimental design. An online survey was applied to 65 workers from public and private companies and 15 interviews were conducted with key collaborators who voluntarily agreed to participate in the year 2022. To analyze the quantitative data, the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics Version 25 was used. The data they were subjected to normality tests, with a result of P= 0.000 (P < 0.05), for which the non-parametric Spearman's Rho test was used. The statistical software ATLAS.ti version 9 was used to analyze the qualitative data. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact worldwide and it is important to recognize and address these consequences. However, it is also true that the pandemic has generated some positive changes in different areas, and it is possible to take advantage of these changes to build a more sustainable and resilient future.

Anti-competitive practices are characterized by applying the agreement of two or more suppliers in the market in order to limit competition in it, violating competition law. In Peru, current regulations indicate that there are three major categories of anticompetitive practices: abuse of a dominant position, horizontal collusive practices and vertical collusive practices. The objective of the investigation was to determine if administrative sanctions for anticompetitive practices affect the management of public purchases made by local governments in the department of Puno, Peru. The methods applied are: descriptive, correlational whose design is non-experimental and quantitative. It was identified that the application of administrative sanctions for anticompetitive practices significantly affects the management of public procurement by the local governments analyzed; In addition, said administrative sanctions generate greater competition in public purchases. Finally, the purchases identified were the so-called horizontal collusive practices such as; distribution of the market or geographical areas, simulation of competition, price agreement, etc.

The purpose of this research and development is to determine the need for developing webhost on the human digestive system material, to describe the form of webhost on the human digestive system material and effectiveness of student learning outcomes cognitively in the human digestive system material at MIS Nurul Huda Klangon. This type of research is a Research and Development (R D) research using the ADDIE model with Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, and tests. The limited-scale test was carried out in class VA with 15 students and the broad-scale test was carried out in class V with 31 students. The data analysis technique used normality test, homogeneity test, Anova test, t test and gain test. The results of the study indicate that: (1) The need for webhost is needed for students to improve student learning outcomes. (2) The development of webhost based on expert validation, media validation and teachers. For material experts with a percentage of 93.75% the category is very feasible, for media experts it is 89.23% very feasible category media development webhost are very effective in influencing students' cognitive learning outcomes which are indicated by increasing students' cognitive learning outcomes with the normality test showing that student learning outcomes are normally distributed with evidence that  for pretest 0.001 0.050 and 0.151 at the post test. The homogeneity test showed that = 0.248 0.005, which means that the learning outcomes have a homogeneous variance. The ANOVA table shows that there is a significant difference in student learning outcomes (F = 12.105, p 0.05), which explains that the data are homogeneous. For the results of the average difference (t test) shows that that is = 0.00 0.005 so it is rejected and accepted, which explains that there are differences in students' cognitive learning outcomes. Gain test shows that the limit is 0.3 g 0.7, with a difference between the pre test and post test of 13.23. Gain value of 0.422 is included in the medium criteria.
