Authors: Chávez María Alexandra , Herrera Estrella Miguel Paul , Zuñiga Alvarado María Alejandra , Zambrano Pionce Ginger Aracelly
Published: January 2025

La investigación está direccionada a establecer la probabilidad de que las grandes empresas ecuatorianas contraten una firma auditora considerada en el mundo financiero como BIG4.  La variable dependiente que se analiza es una variable binaria que a través de un modelo logit se pretende cuantificar la probabilidad.  La investigación se circunscribe dentro del paradigma neopositivista tal como lo define Kuhn. Por tanto, la cuantificación de las variables regresoras o independientes son la rentabilidad de las grandes empresas de Ecuador en los periodos comprendidos entre el año 2012 y 2017. En la presente investigación se usa el modelo logit para establecer la probabilidad de contratar una BIG 4 por parte de una entidad mediante índices de rentabilidad. Como resultado de la investigación se halló que los rendimientos de las entidades inciden de forma significativa en la contratación de una BIG 4. De esta manera, se concluyó que las empresas que presentan una rentabilidad robusta tienen una alta probabilidad de contratar un BIG 4 y relevar información financiera que sea fiable y relevante para los diversos usuarios.
Perspectivas de la Economía Colaborativa en el Ecuador: Caso Uber® y Airbnb®
Authors: Espinoza Herrera Xavier
Published: January 2025

El siguiente artículo tiene como objetivo revisar el estado del arte de la tendencia que sigue la economía colaborativa a nivel global dentro del Ecuador. Este ensayo de carácter argumentativo trata de analizar como el consumo colaborativo ha tomado impulso en los últimos años, gracias a la disrupción de plataformas digitales innovadoras que conectan a potenciales usuarios de un servicio con oferentes del mismo, revolucionando la manera tradicional de transportarse en taxi o la forma de buscar alojamiento temporal dentro de un conglomerado urbano. Se concluye que las apps que movilizan o dan alojamiento a las personas deben estar sujetas a una regulación que permitan garantizar niveles de calidad y seguridad para el usuario; un marco regulatorio que debe ser diferente al aplicado en la economía tradicional por parte del Estado a gremios de taxistas y oferentes de alojamiento temporal.

Abnormal pneumatization of the middle nasal turbinate, also named concha bullosa, is one of the most frequent anomalies of the ethmoid-osteomeatal complex. Clinical studies have demonstrated a prevalence between 14% and 53% in the general population. Apart from the high frequency, the importance of this anomaly resides in the loco-regional changes it produces. First, it modifies the airflow at the level of the nasal passages both through the mass effect and through the irritating action on the adjacent nasal mucosa. Therefore, congestion of the nasal mucosa occurs. Secondly, it is a predisposing factor for the installation of rhinosinus infections, especially with chronic rhinosinusitis and fungal sinus infections. Thirdly, concha bullosa can cause rhinogenic pain through the same irritating phenomenon at the level of the mucosa. Our paper aims to address the anatomic-clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the pneumatization of the middle nasal turbinate, paying special attention to the concepts of development and etiological factors. Finally, yet importantly, we propose an original anatomical-morphological classification that includes semiological computer tomographic aspects highlighted both in the sagittal plane and in the axial plane.

Diversos factores ambientales, humorales y genéticos, están asociados al desarrollo de la obesidad, la cual es un estado proinflamatorio del tejido adiposo relacionado con alteraciones de los niveles de insulina, desarrollo de diabetes y enfermedades cardiovasculares. Por lo tanto, el sistema inmune junto con la obesidad, juegan un papel clave en la patogénesis de la COVID-19, ya que la obesidad representa un factor de riesgo para las manifestaciones severas en la COVID-19, debido a que la respuesta inmunológica se amplifica, haciendo a las personas con obesidad más susceptibles al virus del SARS-CoV-2. El propósito de esta investigación es proporcionar una revisión narrativa actual sobre la comprensión del papel de la obesidad en la patogénesis de la COVID-19. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda sistemática en páginas web oficiales nacionales e internacionales, así como en bases de datos como SciELO y PubMed, a través de operadores booleanos (AND, OR y NOT), con los siguientes términos: COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, obesidad y coronavirus. Con base en el análisis de la información disponible, se concluye que en la obesidad se acumula grasa en el tejido adiposo y en otros órganos, lo cual altera la función normal del organismo desencadenando procesos inflamatorios que, aunados a otros factores, incrementan el riesgo de presentar enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles. La infección viral sucede por acción del receptor de la ACE2, que también se expresa en los adipocitos, por lo que las personas con obesidad son más susceptibles a enfermar con mayor gravedad, lo que puede conducir a la muerte.

Reviewing the implications of unlikely but potential CO2 migration to the surface or shallow subsurface

Published: January 2025

CO2 leakage from geological storage is considered unlikely from properly selected sites and the potential impacts small when compared to other anthropogenic and natural stressors. However, it is important to predict and understand potential environmental impacts and risks to human health from a range of leak scenarios in order to undertake appropriate monitoring and mitigation necessary to meet both regulatory and societal expectations.

Migration of CO2 to the surface, subsurface or into potable water reservoirs poses a risk, and although is predicted to be rare and limited in quantity, cannot be excluded completely, especially via abandoned wells, along fault surfaces or via gas chimneys. Very strict interpretation of regulatory requirements may impose very high costs or limit the number and size of storage site unnecessarily, thus potentially reducing the regional and global storage resources severely.

Given the important role that carbon capture and storage (CCS) plays, as a part of negative emission technologies (NETs) and emission reduction technologies, in most climate scenarios (IPCC, IEA and others), a balance between the merits of CCS on a global scale and the potential risks at a local scale, needs to be evaluated. A growing body of knowledge, gleaned over the past two decades into the environmental impact of leaked CO2 have included studying the impact of CO2 release in: natural seings, potable aquifers, via laboratory and controlled release experiments and modelling. It was desirable, therefore, that these learnings were summarised and evaluated in a clear and accessible document that would be of value to policymakers, project developers and regulators.

Este artículo analiza dos aproximaciones al concepto de empleo verde: el enfoque tradicional top-down, que clasifica los empleos en función de actividades y sectores, y un enfoque bottom-up, que los clasifica a partir de capacidades o tareas concretas. Se evalúan las implicaciones de ambas definiciones en el País Vasco, utilizando la Cuenta de Bienes y Servicios Medioambientales de Eustat (top-down) y el potencial verde de las ocupaciones desarrollado por Orkestra (bottom-up). Se concluye que una comprensión profunda de las ocupaciones y capacidades verdes requiere una visión amplia y flexible que puede englobar los dos enfoques mencionados. En el País Vasco, destaca el doble reto de contar con una proporción cada vez mayor de personas en empleos verdes y en ocupaciones potencialmente verdes para conseguir la sostenibilidad medioambiental.

Objectives: To identify, collect and analyze, through the main published literature, the most relevant contributions and publications about the therapeutic choice for the treatment of osteomyelitis and the impact on morbidity and mortality in its patients. Methodology: This study is an integrative literature review conducted in accordance with the “Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses” methodology - PRISMA. The bibliographic survey was carried out in the Pubmed, Lilacs and Scielo databases in the third quarter of 2024. The search terms obtained from the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS) were: (“Osteomyelitis”) AND (“Treatment”) AND (“Prognosis”), separated by the boolean “AND”. Results: In the Scielo database, 3 results were found. After reading the title and abstract of each article and using the descriptors and inclusion and exclusion criteria, 1 article was selected. In the PubMed database, 124 results were found and, using the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 13 articles were selected. In the Lilacs database, 13 results were found, using the same methodology as the previous searches, and 2 articles were selected. Conclusion: At the moment, treatment is based on intravenous antibiotic therapy, seeking to cover the most common agents, associated with surgical intervention in some cases, since it enables samples to be taken to identify the etiological agent, removal of the compromised tissue, improved penetration of antibiotics into the infected area and a reduction in the local bacterial concentration.
Shifting Market Power: The Role of Supply Chain Disruptions in Redefining Global Trade Dynamics
Authors: Shuvo Tamim Forhad , Habib Md. Mohin
Published: January 2025

Global supply chains have recently faced intense disruptions, especially due to COVID-19, exposing vulnerabilities across industries. This study explores how large-scale shocks such as pandemics, geopolitical conflicts, and environmental crises are transforming global market power and trade patterns. Analyzing sectors like technology, automotive, and pharmaceuticals, the research highlights how developed economies, traditionally dominant, are increasingly dependent on emerging markets, which are gaining influence. Factors like digital innovation, rising logistics costs, and trade restrictions further drive these shifts. The findings underscore the need for resilience, localization, and adaptive strategies, offering guidance for policymakers and industry leaders to strengthen trade stability.

This study was carried out using the data of the National Anatolian Water Buffaloes (AWB) Breeding in Farm Project, which is being carried out in Çorum Region. Data of 292 AWB gave birth between 2019 and 2023 and their calves (n=292) raised in 30 enterprises were used. Age at First Calving (AFC), Lactation Milk Yield (LMY), Lactation Period (LP), Daily Average Milk Yield (DAMY), Calf Birth Weight (CBW), Calf Gender (CG), and Calving Season (CS) were evaluated. The highest milk yield was detected in the buffaloes that were first bred after 50 months while the lowest LMY was observed in buffaloes with AFC less than 38 months (p=0.003). According to data, an increase in milk yield can be expected as AWB get older. Furthermore, the difference between LP and AFC and calving season, sex of calves were not significant. The difference between DAMY and the effect of AFC and CS was statistically significant (p<0.05). While the LMY of the buffaloes with the highest AFC were high, there was a difference between the other two groups. The milk yield of the AFC in summer was significantly lower than in other seasons (p<0.05). AWB with high AFC had high LMY and prolonged lactation period. When AFC was in the summer months, LMY and LP decreased, so arranging calving in the spring can be recommended. In addition, although the effect of first breeding at older ages appears to be positive on CBW, the disadvantage of first breeding at older ages in terms of sustainable herd management should also be considered.

In this study, 49 dairy farms (total cow number: 2234) in Ereğli district of Konya province were surveyed using a face-to-face questionnaire to obtain information about the dairy farms animal nutrition, care, and reproductive efficiency of dairy farms. The research material consisted of the data obtained from breeders through the questionnaire. The mean values of the calving interval and number of days open were 374.73 (days), and 95.61 (days), and the number of artificial inseminations and natural mating per pregnancy were 2.27 and 1.7 respectively. In our study, the mean duration of the first postpartum estrus was found to be 44.30 days and 71.42% of the dairy farms had estrous between 20-45 days. It was observed that 95.9% of the dairy cattle owners thought that the energy level of the ration, 85.7% of the protein level of the ration, and 73.5% of the vitamin-mineral supplementation were effective on fertility. It was observed that only 10.2% of dairy cattle owners used pasture for nutritional purposes and 89.8% of those who used pasture thought that pasture was inadequate. It is also observed that the breeders in the region are aware of the nutritional conditions. It is also observed that the dairy farmers in the area are aware of the nutritional conditions. In conclusion, it is observed that the dairy cattle farms in the Ereğli district of Konya province are not effective in terms of the reproductive parameters evaluated in the study. Also, these results regarding grazing clearly show that grazing is insufficient in terms of animal nutrition.

The study was conducted at the International Livestock Research and Training Center Directorate and investigated the effects of ewes' body condition score (BCS) on certain body measurements of their lambs at birth and at 3 months of age in Akkaraman and Lalahan (Kıvırcık x Akkaraman G1 crossbred) sheep in Ankara province. The animal material consisted of 106 lambs (Akkaraman = 33, Lalahan = 73) at birth and 144 lambs (Akkaraman = 33, Lalahan = 111) at 3 months, along with their dams. The BCS values of the ewes were divided into three groups for analysis: low (≤2.5), medium (3.0), and high (≥3.5). The general means of BCS values of the ewes at birth and at 3 months were found to be 2.86 and 2.84, respectively. The effects of genotype and dam age on BCS were not significant in either period. The live weight (LW), wither height, rump height, chest depth, body length, and chest girth values of the lambs were 4.8 kg, 42.1 cm, 42.6 cm, 16.6 cm, 33.0 cm, and 38.5 cm at birth, and 24.0 kg, 62.2 cm, 63.0 cm, 27.8 cm, 58.8 cm, and 65.3 cm at 3 months of age, respectively. Ewes with high BCS had heavier LW lambs at both birth (low: 4.5 kg, medium: 4.8 kg, high: 4.9 kg; P<0.05) and 3 months (low: 24.3 kg, medium: 25.1 kg, high: 25.8 kg; P>0.05). A similar pattern was observed in the daily live weight gain (DLWG) of lambs (low: 0.205 kg, medium: 0.221 kg, high: 0.242 kg; P<0.001). In conclusion, it can be said that ewes with a high BCS adequately meet their nutritional needs during lactation, thereby providing better care for their lambs.
