Limitar la exposición de las personas más vulnerables como estrategia para minimizar los fallecimientos por COVID-19
Authors: Buján Pérez Alejandro , López Domínguez Ignacio , Mallaina García Pablo , Romero Fresneda Ramiro
Published: December 2023

Cercanos al levantamiento de las medidas de confinamiento que se tomaron para reducir la velocidad de contagio y evitar la saturación del sistema sanitario provocado por la pandemia de COVID-19, sugiere hacer planteamientos de cómo afrontarlo, aplicado en este caso concreto a España.
Se plantean estrategias hasta que la población contagiada supere el umbral de la inmunidad de grupo: una salida proporcional sin filtrar, una reapertura limitando por edad (primera estrategia) y un desconfinamiento más selectivo restringiendo salidas por edad a personas sin enfermedades crónicas (segunda estrategia).
Los resultados obtenidos muestran reducciones en el número potencial de fallecidos del 82.56 % si se limitase la reapertura por edad y del 95.34 % si se restringiese por edad y sin enfermedades crónicas. Así, se reduciría la letalidad del 1.04 %, al 0.18 % y 0.05 % respectivamente.
Impacto presupuestario del coste del manejo de los efectos adversos asociados al tratamiento con enzalutamida y apalutamida del cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración no metastásico en España
Authors: Landeira Margarita , Mateo Rodenas Marta , Anguita Alonso Paloma , Cañete Vinuesa María , Rubio-Rodríguez Darío , Rubio-Terrés Carlos
Published: December 2023

Antecedentes: Según un estudio previamente publicado, debido al diferente perfil de seguridad de enzalutamida (ENZ) en comparación con apalutamida (APA), en cada paciente con cáncer de próstata resistente a la castración no metastásico (CPRCnm) tratado con ENZ se generarían ahorros en el manejo de los efectos adversos (EA).
Objetivo: Estimar el impacto en el presupuesto del Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS) del manejo de los EA asociados al tratamiento del CPRCnm con ENZ y APA.
Métodos: El impacto presupuestario (€ 2019) se calculó, para un horizonte temporal de 2 años, a partir de los pacientes incidentes con CPRCnm, considerando el coste de los EA asociados a los medicamentos comparados (ENZ y APA) y las cuotas de mercado estimadas. Se realizaron análisis de sensibilidad determinísticos, modificando un ± 20% las cuotas de mercado previstas en el caso base del análisis.
Resultados: En España, se estima una población de 764 pacientes con CPRCnm de alto riesgo. En cada paciente con CPRCnm tratado con ENZ en lugar de APA se generaría un ahorro anual de 2.544 € (IC95% 1.640; 3.671 €). En consecuencia, con la indicación de ENZ en CPRCnm se generarían ahorros de 320.544 € (165.731; 555.408 €) en el primer año y de 531.696 € (274.032; 917.892 €) en el segundo año. Por tanto, el ahorro total en los dos primeros años sería de 852.240 € (439.763; 1.472.300 €).
Conclusiones: Según el presente impacto presupuestario, el mejor perfil de seguridad del tratamiento con ENZ, en comparación con APA, tendría un considerable impacto económico sobre el presupuesto que el SNS dedica al tratamiento de los pacientes con CPRCnm.

Published: December 2023

A docência é uma das profissões mais antigas e que exige elevada competência para executar suas funções do dia a dia, as quais têm influência direta na percepção sobre a qualidade de vida no trabalho. A presente investigação objetivou descrever sobre as variáveis profissionais que contribuem significativamente para uma boa realização no ambiente laboral do Instituto Federal de Mato Grosso - Campus São Vicente (IFMT-SVC). Trata-se de um estudo de caso, realizado com os professores IFMT-SVC. A satisfação no trabalho foi mensurada pela “Escala de Avaliação da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho Percebida por Professores”. Dados sociodemográficos e profissionais foram obtidos por meio de um questionário diagnóstico de características. Observou-se que os docentes estão indecisos com trabalho e espaço total de vida (n=23; 54,8%; p=0,005), integração social no trabalho (n=21; 50,0%; p=0,001) e autonomia no trabalho (n=20; 47,6%; p=0,011), mas mostram-se satisfeitos com as leis e normas do trabalho (n=25; 59,5%; p<0,001) e a remuneração (n=20; 47,6%; p=0,024). A dimensão remuneração apresentou diferença significativa apenas com as variáveis formação (doutores) e renda individual (11 salários ou mais), enquanto a integração social no trabalho se diferenciou na formação (doutores), carreira (fase intermediária) e renda individual (11 salários ou mais), já a progressão na carreira demonstrou diferença na formação (mestres). A presença de indecisão ou insatisfação em algumas variáveis chama atenção para a necessidade de intervenções neste espaço.
MODELO DE HAPKE APLICADO PARA ESTIMAR PROPRIEDADES FOTOMETRICAS DO COMETA 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO
Authors: Statella Thiago
Published: December 2023

A sonda Rosetta estudou com sucesso o cometa 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko de 2014 a 2016, quando a missão terminou com uma tentativa de pousar o satélite no núcleo do cometa. Apesar da presença da câmera científica OSIRIS a bordo da espaçonave, diversos pesquisadores usaram imagens da câmera de navegação (NavCam) para apoiar a análise do alvo. Parâmetros e calibração radiométrica foram previamente estimados para a NavCam através da calibração cruzada com a câmera OSIRIS. As reflectâncias médias do núcleo do cometa calculadas a partir de um extenso catálogo de imagens são utilizadas neste trabalho para ajustar o modelo de Hapke para a refletância, a fim de fornecer um conjunto de parâmetros que descrevem as propriedades fotométricas do núcleo do cometa. Os resultados permitiram o cálculo do albedo geométrico do alvo, bem como informações sobre o albedo de espalhamento singular, ângulo de rugosidade médio, fator assimétrico e efeito de oposição de ocultação de sombra em função do ângulo de fase.
MANUSIA DALAM TINJAUAN FILSAFAT PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Authors: Su'eb
Published: December 2023

Filsafat Pendidikan Islam adalah induk dari segala pengetahuan yang berkembang sejak zaman Yunani kuno sampai zaman modern. Adapun manusia dalam tinjauan filsafat pendidik Islam adalah karya Allah SWT yang paling istimewa, baik dilihat dari sQSok diri, serta beban dan tanggung jawab yang diamanahkan kepadanya. Artinya manusia merupakan satu satunya makhluk yang perbuatannya mampu mewujudkan bagian tertinggi dari kehendak Tuhan. Didalam Al-Qur’an ada tiga konsep tentang makna manusia yaitu Al-Basyar, al-insan, an-Nas. Konsep pertama yaitu Al-Basyar, manusia tidak boleh jauh berbeda dengan mahluk biologis lainnya. Konsep yang kedua yaitu al-insan yang digunakan dalam Al-Qur’an untuk menunjukkan totalitas manusia sebagai mahluk jasmani dan rohani. Konsep yang ketiga yaitu an-Nas, manusia diciptakan sebagai mahluk yang bermasyarakat berawal dari pasangan laki-laki dan perempuan kemudian berkembang menjadi suku dan bangsa untuk saling kenal mengenal. Kemudian tinjauan filsafat terhadap penciptaan manusia dilihat dari penciptaannya juga sudah dijelaskan dalam Al-Qur'an bahwasanya menyatakan proses penciptaan manusia dalam dua tahap yang berbeda, yaitu: Pertama, tahapan primordial. Kedua, disebut dengan tahapan biologis. Pada tahapan primordial Adam sebagai manusia pertama diciptakan dari al-tin (tanah), diciptakan dari al-Turab (tanah debu), diciptakan dari shalshal (tanah liat), dan diciptakan dari hama’in masnun (tanah lumpur yang busuk). Tahapan adalah melalui proses biologi. Di dalam proses ini, manusia diciptakan dari inti sari tanah yang dijadikan air mani (nuthfah) yang tersimpan dalam tempat yang kokoh (rahim). Selanjutnya Kaitan Manusia dengan Pendidikan Islam yaitu manusia tidak bisa berkembang dan hidup dengan baik dan sempurna tanpa pendidikan. Potensi yang dimiliki manusia (akal, nafs, qalb, dan roh) tidak berkembang tanpa pendidikan, karena itu kehadiran pendidikan bagi manusia adalah suatu keniscayaan.

Authors: Parveen Shaista , Kumar Sandeep , Memon Abdul Bari , Permanand  , Shakeel Shazia , Sunny  , Pinki  , Kumar Lovekesh
Published: December 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on various aspects of health and healthcare practices, including oral health. With changes in daily routines and access to dental care services during lockdowns, there has been concern about the potential decline in oral hygiene and an increase in dental issues.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate oral health habits and the gingival condition of patients visiting a tertiary care dental hospital in the southern region of Sindh province after the COVID-19 lockdown.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Bibi Aseefa Dental College, Larkana, from January 20, 2021, to July 20, 2021. Ethical approval was obtained, and participants gave written informed consent. A total of 278 patients were sampled using a convenience sampling method. The inclusion criteria were patients of both genders, above the age of 7, with permanent teeth. Exclusion criteria included lack of consent and cases with jaw fractures or limited mouth opening. Data collection involved clinical examinations using a dental mirror and probe, and oral health practices were recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21.
Results: The study comprised 57.2% male and 42.8% female participants, with a mean age of 30.67 ± 10.31 years. An 81% adherence to daily tooth brushing was noted, while only 9% of participants used dental floss. The use of medicated toothpaste was reported by 18% of the participants. The prevalence of gingivitis was found to be 48%, with a significant relationship between gender and gingivitis severity (p=0.009).
Conclusion: Oral hygiene practices during the lockdown were found to be inadequate, with a substantial prevalence of gingivitis among the study population. The study emphasizes the need for improved oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing and flossing, and suggests public health initiatives to promote oral health awareness.

Published: December 2023

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted various sectors worldwide, with factory workers particularly vulnerable due to their working conditions and economic challenges. Understanding the mental health and perceptions of COVID-19 among these workers is essential for developing effective interventions.
Objective: To assess the stress levels and perceptions of COVID-19 among factory workers in Karachi and explore the relationship between these factors and demographic variables such as education and financial status.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used, involving 354 factory workers in Karachi, selected through convenient sampling. A questionnaire-based survey, including the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), was employed to gather data on stress levels and perceptions of COVID-19.
Results: In the study of factory workers in Karachi, results revealed diverse stress levels and perceptions of COVID-19, significantly influenced by demographic factors. Among the 354 participants, 61.3% recognized COVID-19 as a real threat, despite 45% having only completed matric-level education. Stress varied notably across different groups, with 86.7% of male workers reporting higher stress compared to 13.3% of their female counterparts. Financial status emerged as a crucial determinant, with 57.3% of workers earning below PKR 18,000 exhibiting more pronounced stress levels. Additionally, preventive measures were well-recognized, with 82.8% of participants identifying hand washing, and 74% acknowledging mask-wearing as effective against COVID-19. These findings underscore the complex interplay between education, financial status, and health awareness in shaping the pandemic's impact on this workforce segment.
Conclusion: The study underscores the need for targeted interventions in workplaces to manage stress and enhance health awareness among factory workers, regardless of their educational background.

Authors: Usama Muhammad , Ahmad Khan Usama , Saeed Aqeel , Siddiqui Bakhtawar , Fatima Syeda Bizzah , Azfar Hanan
Published: December 2023

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition predominantly manifesting in motor impairments, notably in balance and gait. Recent advancements have highlighted Virtual Reality (VR) training as a potent alternative or adjunct to conventional physiotherapy (CPT) for the rehabilitation of these motor disturbances in PD patients.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy of VR training and CPT in ameliorating balance and gait issues in older adults diagnosed with PD.
Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 56 patients with PD were assigned either to VR training or to CPT. The VR training entailed immersive and interactive exercises specifically designed for balance and gait enhancement using VR technology. Conversely, CPT consisted of traditional exercises targeting similar motor skills. Standardized assessments for balance and gait were administered both prior to and following the intervention to all participants.
Results: The intervention demonstrated that VR training led to more pronounced improvements in balance and gait parameters as compared to CPT. Notably, the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) exhibited an improvement of 4.2 seconds in the VR group versus 3.6 seconds in the CPT group, a difference statistically significant (p<0.05). Similarly, the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores increased by 12.4 points in the VR group and 10.8 points in the CPT group, again showing a significant advantage for VR (p<0.05). The Mini-BESTest scores improved by 2.6 points in the VR group compared to 2.1 points in the CPT group, reinforcing the superiority of VR (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The study conclusively finds that VR training surpasses CPT in enhancing balance and gait in older adults with PD. Offering an immersive, engaging, and tailored therapeutic environment, VR training emerges as a potent modality for augmenting rehabilitation outcomes in this demographic.
Simulating future trends in stormwater runoff at a university campus related to climate and land use changes
Authors: Pheaktra SOVANNC , M CHOI Daniel , Sothean THOU , Savuth YIM
Published: December 2023

Stormwater management is essential for the management of sewerage and stormwater systems as insufficient drainage can result in flood damage and impact public health. During the planning of new infrastructure at Campus I of the Royal University of Phnom Penh, it was observed that a hydrological assessment had not yet been completed. Without such an assessment, climate change and poor land-use planning may result in more frequent flood events in the future. Thus, this study aims to quantify the potential impacts of changes to stormwater runoff related to climate change and an increase in the area of impervious surfaces on campus. PCSWMM modeling software was employed to simulate surface runoff volumes flowing to the catchment of the Building D pond. Three different scenarios for rainfall intensity (2, 5, and 10-year return period) and five scenarios for changes to impervious area (10%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100%) were used in the simulation. A baseline was also established by analysing rainfall intensity, land use characteristics, and topography in the catchment area. Under present conditions the volume of the Building D pond is about 18,933 m3 with a surface area of 6,173 m2. The average permanent water volume of the pond is about 9,916 m3, with a remaining storage capacity of 9,016 m3. It is estimated that the pond will flood within one hour of intense rainfall (63.70 mm/h) under these conditions. The surface runoff volume for the Building D catchment was estimated for a range of scenarios. It was found that even under intense rainfall (63.70 mm/h); the pond would not flood if measures were implemented to reduce the impervious area on campus by 10%. This shows that preserving permeable surfaces in the catchment is likely to reduce the frequency of flood events on campus over a range of climate change scenarios.
Gender Inequality within Higher Education Institutions: a case study of the Royal University of Phnom Penh
Authors: Chandy DOUNG
Published: December 2023

Higher education is important for both men and women in preparing to enter the job market. Equal access to education is a key factor in achieving gender equality in the workforce. Unfortunately, however, there are a range of factors that de-motivate female students from pursuing postgraduate education in Cambodia. In this paper, I investigate these factors, focusing upon the negative impacts of gender inequality to make recommendations that are likely to address the gender imbalance in Masters Programs in the country. This research aims to inform all relevant stakeholders how they can adapt their practices to reduce gender inequality in higher education. An exploratory study using descriptive statistics shows that around one-third of existing Masters Candidates already hold a Masters qualification. Most currently enrolled students work and study at same time and feel constrained by this dual workload. As there are limited scholarship opportunities available at the Royal University of Phnom Penh; 76.8% of students, self- sponsored their higher education. A disproportionately high number of students in the Masters of Science in Biodiversity Conservation receive scholarships. There were significant differences in perceptions about the participation of men and women in the higher education sector. Most parents (74.4%) preferred to support their sons, rather than their daughters in pursuing further education. In contrast, most student respondents suggested that their family situation was a major de-motivating factor acting as an obstacle to women accessing a higher education. A lack of social encouragement was also a significant factor. Increased enrolments of female students should be encouraged through cooperation between the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS), RUPP, parents, students and NGOs through to address these issues.

Published: December 2023

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a conflict that has been going on for decades and has not been resolved even though it has involved many countries to encourage the implementation of the peace process. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is multifaceted, with various internal and external factors influencing the course of the conflict. In this paper the author tries to examine what approaches have been used in resolving the conflict, the method used by the author in compiling this paper is a qualitative descriptive approach based on literature studies or library research. In this paper the author finds that various initiatives and peace negotiations have been attempted to end the conflict between Palestine and Israel, ranging from the Reconciliation approach, the approach to the formation of two states to the proposal of confederation have also been carried out, but this has not found enlightenment in its settlement thus making it difficult for leaders to find common ground. Internationally, regional power dynamics, national interests, and external interventions are increasingly complicating the path to peace and to date the two-state solution remains the most widely supported option, the greatest challenge of which lies in addressing core issues and reconciling competing national aspirations. Achieving peace and stability in the region requires sustained dialogue, compromise, and commitment from all stakeholders involved.

This research was conducted at Lanjut Usia Harapan Kita Social Institutional Care to detect the level of life satisfaction of the elderly through the role of religion, especially the elderly who are in institutional care. This study uses a qualitative approach with the phenomenological approach as the purpose of this study is to portray the circumstance that occurs. Researchers utilize a non-random sampling technique to obtain research respondents. Purposeful Sampling is one of the techniques of non-random sampling techniques (Creswell: 2012). There exists a way to do purposeful sampling according to Creswell, namely “Typical Case Sampling”. For data mining techniques, we utilize the triangulation method, it is utilized to depict the phenomena that exist in the research area, there exist interview, observation, and documentation. We determine at least four people in institutional care who will be appropriate subjects in our research and they are disposed to undertake a live interview. We discover that both of those four subjects realize that religion is crucial in increasing their life satisfaction, at least convincing them to pass demise serenely.

There are two species of muriqui, Brachyteles — the northern muriqui (B. hypoxanthus) and the southern muriqui (B. arachnoides). The northern muriqui is the most endangered of the two. The species originally occurred through most of the Atlantic forest in the south of the state of Bahia, eastern Minas Gerais, and south central Espírito Santo. Hunting and widespread loss of its native forest means that today just a few small and isolated populations remain, with poor chances of survival in the long term. Currently the northern muriqui can be found in 12 places, six on private land, three in state protected, and three in federal protected areas. Combined, these areas total about 160,000 ha and a minimum known number of 855 individuals. The known population has increased significantly in the last five years, but the total is still very small and fragmented for long-term viability — no single population exceeds 500. In this article we report on the areas where they are known to occur, the main threats to them, and the conservation measures that have been proposed to avoid the premature extinction of the species.
Muriqui populations reported in the literature over the last 40 years

Aguirre (O mono Brachyteles arachnoides (E. Geoffroy). Situação Atual da Espécie no Brasil. Acad. Brasil. Ciênc., Rio de Janeiro, 1971) identified 61 localities for the occurrence of the muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) in the states of Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná. He estimated a total population of 2,791–3,226 muriquis, contrasting with a population of about 400,000 he reckoned would have existed in 1500. Accepting the position that there are two species, Aguirre’s (1971) data suggested a maximum of 996 individuals for the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) and about 2,230 for the southern muriqui (B. arachnoides). Current population estimates for the northern muriqui have indicated at least 864 individuals in the wild. Data available for the southern muriqui, suggest a minimum population of about 1,300. These numbers combined approximate to the total population of 2,230 estimated by Aguirre (1971). Further population surveys for muriquis in the states São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Bahia are urgently needed, along with comparative studies on their basic ecology, diet and behavior in the different-sized forest fragments and the more extensive forests. Although stochastic effects could rapidly eliminate the very small isolated populations of the northern muriqui, in larger forests, persistent threats, such as hunting, could gradually but invidiously reduce those of the southern muriqui.
Principios para una lexicografía socialmente responsable desde la perspectiva glotopolítica
Authors: Rodríguez Barcia Susana
Published: December 2023

Definir los principios de una lexicografía responsable desde la perspectiva glotopolítica supone sintetizar en una serie de proposiciones las principales problemáticas sociales asociadas a los diccionarios como instrumentos lingüísticos legitimadores. Como defiende Lauria (2013: 13), en el caso de la lengua española el diccionario debe concebirse como un acto de intervención glotopolítica porque implica tomar decisiones sobre tensiones tradicionales entre variación/unidad, descripción/prescripción y uso/norma que activan cuestiones que van desde la idea de panhispanismo hasta la de inclusión en todas sus dimensiones. Estos conflictos clásicos tienen una fundamentación histórica y política ligada a valores neocolonialistas, androcéntricos y clasistas frente a los que la lexicografía debe responder con lógicas emancipadoras y con vocación de equidad. Además, a estas tensiones se une el conflicto de la subjetividad en las definiciones lexicográficas que naturaliza una visión particular del mundo y participa en la construcción sesgada de imaginarios colectivos. Por todo ello, el papel de los diccionarios debe ser transformador, y su infraestructura ideológica tiene que disponerse en un espacio al margen de las ideologías dominantes. Esta contribución se plantea como una propuesta teórica en la que se definen las bases para una lexicografía socialmente responsable.  Se parte de la relevancia del diccionario como instrumento lingüístico de prestigio que legitima determinados usos y variedades y, especialmente en el caso del español, que ayuda en la conformación de subjetividades políticas y sociales. Adoptamos la perspectiva glotopolítica expuesta por Arnoux (2016) y Del Valle, Lauria, Oroño y Rojas (2021), que centran la mirada en el objeto lingüístico asumiendo su inseparabilidad frente a lo político y lo analizan teniendo en cuenta sus condiciones materiales de producción, reproducción y recepción, así como su participación en los procesos de acceso o consolidación del poder.
Un uso sostenible de WordNet en la inteligencia artificial
Authors: Periñán-Pascual Carlos
Published: December 2023

La elaboración manual de extensos recursos lingüísticos para su uso en sistemas de inteligencia artificial es una tarea que requiere un gran esfuerzo económico y humano en un período largo de tiempo, razón por la cual se recomienda un uso sostenible de los recursos existentes. En este contexto, el objeto de investigación de este artículo es WordNet, una base de datos léxica diseñada originariamente para el estudio de las redes semánticas. En concreto, analizamos la sostenibilidad de este recurso lexicográfico en campos de la inteligencia artificial como el procesamiento del lenguaje natural y la ingeniería del conocimiento desde la perspectiva de tres atributos esenciales: extensibilidad, interoperabilidad y reusabilidad.
