Aproximación a las actividades de Vinculación con el Medio en institutos profesionales de Chile a través de la experiencia de un estudio de caso
Authors: Araya René
Published: November 2024

El presente estudio tuvo por propósito aproximarse al tipo de actividades que los institutos profesionales (IP) están diseñando y ejecutando en Chile, particularmente respecto de los efectos del nuevo enfoque de tercera misión transversal y bidireccional sobre la extensión y la eventual curricularización de la vinculación con el medio (VM). Para lo anterior, se propuso el estudio de caso de un IP privado de presencia nacional, desde un enfoque mixto que combinó el análisis cuantitativo de las actividades realizadas en el periodo 2023 y de la profundización cualitativa a partir de la realización de entrevistas a una muestra de actores clave de la gestión de VM en ocho sedes del IP en cuestión. Los resultados permiten concluir que la extensión continúa siendo importante, pero eventualmente al costo de una merma en su calidad y con un énfasis instrumental con miras al logro de indicadores de gestión de la VM. Se advierte, asimismo, un creciente énfasis en actividades directamente relacionadas con dispositivos curriculares, a través de políticas institucionales que incentivan su realización en desmedro de la extensión y el desarrollo social y comunitario.

Authors: García-Pérez Calabuig María , Rodríguez-Fernández Sonia , Galán-Casado Diego
Published: November 2024

Introducción: En el escenario virtual, la identidad se puede ver deteriorada a causa de los estereotipos ampliados por las redes sociales y las características que promulga la sociedad panóptica. Las narrativas digitales de las personas con algún tipo de discapacidad o con enfermedad mental pueden ser tanto una herramienta de empoderamiento, como un medio de perpetuación de estereotipos, y de ahí que surja el estigma virtual. El fin se centra en analizar cómo las redes sociales contribuyen a la aparición y la perpetuación del estigma virtual, así como su erradicación a través del empoderamiento de los diferentes colectivos. Metodología: Se implementa una investigación cualitativa donde se realiza una revisión sistemática narrativa de 12 publicaciones científicas. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que se perpetúan los estereotipos y se resalta cómo facilitan la propagación de mensajes de odio y discriminación. No obstante, se encuentran datos que demuestran que las imágenes de personas con discapacidad física captan una mayor atención y pueden influir positivamente en la percepción pública. Discusión: Se presenta una propuesta educativa para atajar los desafíos que se muestran en los resultados. Conclusiones: Se concluye con la necesidad de abordar el estigma virtual a través de intervenciones educativas que fomenten el empoderamiento.

Published: November 2024

Introducción: Desde 2015, los ODS acordados por Naciones Unidas en la resolución 66/288 se incorporaron a la agenda estratégica de diversas organizaciones internacionales para desarrollar una labor de sensibilización ciudadana mediante la comunicación corporativa. Las estrategias comunicativas de gobiernos y corporaciones, así como las buenas prácticas en comunicación ambiental, son aspectos escasamente abordados en literatura académica. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar flujos y estrategias de comunicación sobre cambio climático que realizan instituciones públicas y empresas vascas presentes en el IBEX35 con la ciudadanía, poniendo énfasis en el contenido digital de sus webs y salas de prensa virtuales. Metodología: Incluye una revisión sistemática de la literatura existente, así como un análisis de contenido de las SPV de las entidades seleccionadas. Resultados: Destacan el escaso contenido disponible sobre cambio climático (CC) en las herramientas digitales corporativas y ausencia de estrategias de sistematización del tipo de información y recursos distribuidos, con predominio de un modelo de comunicación unidireccional. Discusión: Sobresale la necesidad de centralizar y homogeneizar el contenido. La unidireccionalidad como problema de base debería de tratarse para lograr una optimización en las SPV. Conclusiones: En la actualidad los ODS no se hallan sistemáticamente incorporados en las SPV de las entidades.

In-silico ANALYSIS OF (S)-PINOSTROBINBENZOATE DERIVATIVES FROM Boesenbergia pandurata Roxb. AS THE CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITORS IN FINDING ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG CANDIDATES
Authors: Wiyono A.S. , Diyah N.W. , S. Siswandono
Published: November 2024

Boesenbergia pandurata Roxb. Schlecht, often known as Temu kunci, contains the flavonoid pinostrobin in its rhizome. It is useful against inflammation because it can suppress the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) enzyme. The goal of this work is to develop (S)-pinostrobinbenzoate derivatives, a chemical that inhibits inflammation on COX-2 targets, to use in silico analysis to find possible candidates for anti-inflammatory drugs. In this work, 20 compounds of (S)- pinostrobinbenzoate derivatives were the subject of an in silico investigation using PASS online to predict the substance activity spectrum (PASS) and MOE 2022.02 for molecular docking on the COX-2 enzyme (PDB code 1CX2). The pkCSM Online application was also used to estimate ADMET characteristics. The structure-activity relationships of the selected compounds were examined by the quantitative structure-property relationships (QSPR) approach. The results showed that (S)-pinostrobin 2-methoxybenzoate had a strong affinity for COX-2 based on molecular docking, as indicated by a free binding energy (S value) of -9.16 kcal/mol. From PASS online it was found that a COX-2 inhibitor, has an "active" probability (Pa) of 0.763, giving it a viable option for anti-inflammatory medications. Based on ADMET prediction, (S)-pinostrobinbenzoate derivatives displayed high specificity and sufficient BBB permeability. The QSPR analysis indicated that the lipophilic character (logP) of the (S)- pinostrobinbenzoate derivatives relates to its in-silico activity against COX-2. This work provided a solid basis for subsequent investigations to combine and assess the anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo, then the pre-clinic and clinical trial pertaining to the development of the (S)-pinostrobinbenzoate.

Authors: D. Prakash  , B. Pant  , P. Sagar
Published: November 2024

Hydroformylation of methyl acrylate can be carried out in a short time and without the use of syngas under microwave dielectric heating. We show that a Palladium Schiff base catalyst can control regioselectivity in heterogenous hydroformylation. Microwave irradiation, which produces greater yields in less reaction time and uses less energy than conventional heating systems, may carry out the hydroformylation reactions of the Methyl acrylate with greater efficiency and sustainability without using the CO and H2 cylinder. This method offers a hopeful prospect for a more sustainable future in chemical synthesis. Hydroformylation of Methyl acrylate using (PdL2)Cl2) (where L= N- (diphynylmethylide) Aniline (LA) and (E)-1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-N-phenylmethanimine (LB), as a catalyst at 120 oC for 20 minutes in the microwave and at 200 oC, 5 h in the conventional heating. This work demonstrates that methyl acrylates can be hydroformed in glyoxylic acid using a palladium catalyst system, producing the intended products, aldehydes, in outstanding yields and selectivities. Moreover, solventless synthesis using specific catalyst systems has improved catalytic performance compared to solvent-based reactions, attributed to higher reactant concentrations. Palladium complexes PdLA and PdLB gave excellent aldehyde yields in the microwave, 89 % (l/b ratio 96:4) and 86 % (95:5), respectively, over the conventional heating, which were analyzed by 1HNMR and GCMS spectroscopic techniques.

Determination of the Age of Gel Pen Inks on Handwritten Documents using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Chemometrics
Authors: Gupta Vinayak , Singh Gurpreet , Saini Komal
Published: November 2024

Background: The accurate determination of age of ink used in the documents related to forensic cases is often submitted to forensic document examiners. Determining the age of ink refers to assessing the most probable time when the ink was used to write on paper. It may become tedious due to the great variety of writing inks available in the market and due to the complexity of chemical processes that occur over time after the deposition of the ink onto the paper. Limited work is available concerning non-ballpoint pen inks. Thus, the study addressed the determination of the age of the writings made using gel pens of 4 different colour inks by studying their volatile components by employing GC-MS. The effects of the storage conditions and different substrates (paper) on the ageing of ink were also assessed.
Results: More than 70% drop in the peak area was observed initially, which increased with time and the fall was more or less stable up to 60 days, after which the peaks disappeared. Slight effect of the type of substrate and storage condition was observed. The results were backed with Karl Pearson’s correlation method suggesting comparability between the samples stored in closed and open storage conditions.
Conclusion: GC-MS is suitable for studying the solvent components of gel pen inks for the determination of age of ink. The methodology used in this study provided reliable results for writings stored for up to 75 days.

Unveiling a new sophisticated ink analysis technique, and digital image processing
Authors: Bianchini Luca , Trombetta Anna , W. B. Jarvis Martin
Published: November 2024

This study embarks on a forensic exploration into the authenticity of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Thematic Catalogue, preserved in the British Library. It presents important research relevant for all Forensic Document Examiners, particularly because it introduces a new ink analysis technique. We reveal compelling evidence that the Thematic Catalogue, which emerged in 1799 under the stewardship of Mozart’s widow, Constanze, was not a singular creation by Mozart. Instead, it was a composite work, probably crafted posthumously. Our research employed comprehensive calligraphic analysis, comparing the Thematic Catalogue’s handwriting to Mozart’s known autographs, revealing discrepancies in style and composition. Additionally, sophisticated ink analysis highlighted chronological and stylistic inconsistencies, suggesting posthumous alterations. The software developed for this study’s graphic analysis, presented at the International Graphonomics Society Conference, offers a groundbreaking approach. It helps in deciphering the lexicon and stylistic elements in any given scribe’s handwriting. This multifaceted investigation challenges traditional interpretations of Mozart’s works. It exemplifies the application of forensic document examination techniques in historical musicology and extends their relevance to many other disciplines.

Green Approach of Charred Document Preservation using Sago Seeds and its Decipherment using OCR and VSC Techniques
Authors: Kesarwani Sonali , Tripathy Divya
Published: November 2024

Polysaccharides are one of the most abundant natural polymers. The use of a natural polysaccharide in the field of questioned documents, particularly charred documents to stabilize and decipher the invisible content on charred documents, is a novel method. The present study focuses on the application of sago seeds to synthesize sago analog by reaction with glycerol in the presence of an acidic medium and microwave irradiation. The comparative spectral characterization (ATR-FTIR) of pure sago powder and synthesized sago analog confirmed the formation of ether linkages in the sago analog after the reaction. Further, the synthesized sago analog on application over fragile charred documents, charred at 300 °C, provided an appreciable strength to the coated sample in comparison to the non-coated charred sample. The bursting strength tester showed that the bursting strength of coated charred document (Linc Pentonic+75 gsm paper) increased from 0.12 kg/cm2 to 0.19 kg/cm2. Moreover, it deciphered the invisible and unreadable texts over charred documents to a remarkable extent. Additionally, the new optical technique of optical character recognition using Google Lens gave an advanced way of converting deciphered content from images into readable and copiable texts. The analysis of samples under the video spectral comparator (VSC) also showed an appreciably enhanced visibility of texts under flood light and white spotlight at visible range longpass (wavelength). Hence, this study provides an easy, cost-effective, and non-toxic approach to document preservation, decipherment, long storage duration, and future references in a court of law.

Die Mitwirkungspflicht der Verwaltungsratsmitglieder einer Aktiengesellschaft
Authors:   , Krafzik Sebastian
Published: November 2024

Immer wieder wird in der Rechtslehre und Rechtspraxis über die adäquate Mitwirkung der Verwaltungsratsmitglieder am gemeinsamen Entscheidfindungsprozess diskutiert. Vor allem Investoren achten zunehmend auf deren Verfügbarkeit und aktive Mitarbeit im Gremium. Das Bedürfnis nach einem einheitlichen Verständnis sowie einem regulatorischen Rahmen ist ungebrochen. Die vorliegende Schrift zielt darauf ab, auf Basis eines Vergleichs mit der französischen Rechtsordnung diese Lücken mit einem neuen methodischen Zugriff zu schliessen. Zum einen unterzieht sie die organschaftliche Mitwirkung einem neu ausgerichteten und erweiterten Kategorisierungsansatz. Zum anderen zeigt sie Lösungen auf, wie die mangelnde Kodifizierung insbesondere im Wege der Selbstregulierung überwunden werden kann. Damit richtet sich die Arbeit u. a. an Praktiker des Wirtschaftsrechts, Verwaltungsräte und Investoren.

Our analysis focuses on four critical parameters: Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), Electrical Field, Skin Depth, and Effective Radiated Power (ERP) by working on crowd densities and frequencies relevant to mobile technologies. This study is the first to employ a Propagation Model for such an analysis, offering a novel approach. Through comprehensive simulations, we explore how variations in electrical field strengths impact SAR, skin depth, and ERP. The results are compared to established safety limits for whole-body SAR exposure, providing valuable insights for guidelines. This research aims to contribute to designing future electronic devices that minimize overall RF emissions. This innovative approach has the potential to improve public confidence in the safety of wireless technologies significantly
Relationships Between Longevity Via Age Difference and Health Age Versus Three Critical Lifestyle Factors, Food Portion, Daily Exercise, and Sleep Hours Using Viscoplastic Energy Model of GH-Method: Math-Physical Medicine (No. 1054, VMT #452)
Authors:   eclaireMD Foundation, USA, Hsu Gerald C
Published: November 2024

Moderate food portions, consistent exercise, and sufficient sleep are crucial for health maintenance and potential lifespan extension. Statistical evidence from various epidemiological and clinical studies demonstrates a strong correlation between these three lifestyle factors and increased longevity. The author, who avoids smoking, alcohol, and illicit drugs, and has minimal exposure to environmental hazards, acknowledges the limitations of changing his physical age, genetic makeup, or family history. Consequently, he has chosen to concentrate on modifiable lifestyle factors that can impact his lifespan. Through 15 years of his medical research work, he observed that many deaths are predominantly linked to four chronic diseases, particularly diabetes, with obesity often serving as a precursor. Unhealthy eating habits contribute to weight gain, while regular exercise is essential not only for body weight management but also for diabetes control. Additionally, adequate sleep duration and quality also play a significant role in the management of chronic diseases. Hence, he focused on these three critical factors to explore their effects on longevity. The author developed an estimated “health age" formula: Health Age = Real Biological Age * (1 + ((MI - 0.735)/0.735)/2) Age difference = health age - real age In this article, the author examined two outcomes—age discrepancy (Age Diff) and health age (H. Age) —through separate analyses, each related to three consistent lifestyle factors: food portion (Food P.), daily exercise (Steps), and sleep hours (Sleep H.). To analyze these two scenarios, he employs the space-domain Viscoplastic Medicine Theory (SD-VMT) energy model, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the effects of these three lifestyle factors on the specified medical symptom of longevity. He also selected three normalization factors, i.e. his targets for these three factors, 0.4 for food portion (40% of his food portion in 2012), 16000 walking steps per day, and 7 hours of night sleep.

Published: November 2024

This study attempts to enhance insights into the valuation process by exploring factors influencing pricing multiples, considering their crucial role in corporate decisions and investment strategies. The reference securities are adopted from the Nifty-50 index. The findings show that almost all the dependent and majority of independent variables are right skewed and confirm the leptokurtic nature in the distribution. The Jarque-Bera test for normality is significant for all the variables, except for LTG. Majority of the fundamentals have positive and weak association with the multiples. ROCE is found to be significant in three models – PE, PB, and PS. STG, NPM and Leverages are important for certain specific multiples. The results of the diagnostic tests confirm that there is no collinearity issue, and the residuals are not normally distributed, not auto correlated, and heteroscedasticity is noticed for PE and PS models.
Strategic Business Turnaround: Role Play of the CFO
Authors: Mohanty Mrutyunjaya
Published: November 2024

Several companies across the globe fail to create enough value to the expectation of the equity market and shareholders. Managing people is the key for developing a high performing team. Drop out people who are not committed, who do not go that extra mile to get that job done, who lack solid functional skills and do not develop specialized skills to perform the task, who are not transparent and so on create hurdles in the development of an organisation. It makes sense to identify and recruit highly skilled people through a robust interview process especially focusing on integrity, trust worthiness with demonstrated leadership quality. Develop ideas for resolving problems and issues, be creative, and look for eureka moments. Develop a robust strategic action plan for each function. Strategy execution is the success mantra to turnaround a business. The CFO should think beyond his/her normal role of duty and take extra responsibility in facilitating CEO and CXO team in developing and executing business strategy that helps in revenue growth and profitability.

Authors: Khairani Leylia
Published: November 2024

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran relasi gender dalam praktik baik percepatan penurunan stunting di Kabupaten Labuhanbatu Utara. Stunting, yang ditandai dengan gangguan pertumbuhan anak akibat kekurangan gizi kronis, masih menjadi masalah kesehatan serius di Indonesia. Meskipun prevalensi stunting menurun, relasi gender dalam keluarga, terutama terkait pengasuhan anak dan pemenuhan gizi, belum mendapat perhatian optimal dalam program penurunan stunting. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus di Desa Aek Korsik, yang telah mencapai status desa zero stunting. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam dengan ibu hamil, ibu dengana anak balita, calon pengantin, dan kader Tim Pendamping Keluarga (TPK).
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembagian peran dalam keluarga masih didominasi oleh perempuan, khususnya ibu, dalam pengasuhan anak dan pengelolaan kebutuhan gizi. Ibu memainkan peran sentral dalam aktivitas rutin seperti menyiapkan makanan dan memberikan ASI eksklusif, sementara suami terlibat lebih terbatas pada pengambilan keputusan penting, terutama terkait kesehatan anak. Meskipun demikian, keputusan seperti kapan membawa anak ke dokter biasanya dilakukan secara bersama oleh suami dan istri, menunjukkan adanya kemajuan dalam kesetaraan gender. Selain itu, dukungan dari keluarga besar, terutama orang tua dan mertua, berperan signifikan dalam membantu ibu menjalankan tanggung jawab pengasuhan. Meskipun norma tradisional masih memengaruhi pembagian peran dalam keluarga, terdapat indikasi menuju kesetaraan gender, terutama dalam pengambilan keputusan bersama terkait kesehatan keluarga.
