Published: February 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar, desde un enfoque cualitativo, los límites y las atribuciones de la Administración Pública en el proceso coactivo, para lo cual se planteó el objetivo de determinar las etapas que conforman este proceso, al igual que sus características, para después identificar los derechos de los cuales son titulares los coactivados. En el desarrollo del trabajo, fue necesario definir al principio de legalidad, mismo que permite atribuir y limitar las competencias de la Administración, muy importante para la protección de los derechos reconocidos a las personas ante cualquier actuación arbitraria. Para lograr estos objetivos, se empleó el método analítico-sintético el deductivo, junto con el método de la hermenéutica jurídica para interpretar la norma, análisis que permitió concluir que los límites y las atribuciones de la administración se encuentran en los derechos reconocidos por la Norma Suprema y demás normas del ordenamiento jurídico, garantizando la seguridad jurídica de los coactivados.

Existen variables efectivas que influyen positivamente en la práctica de los profesores y los resultados de aprendizaje (Bruns y Luque, 2014). Este estudio, buscó explorar la configuración comprensiva y la valoración del nivel de influencia  de estas variables en la práctica de profesores de excelencia. Estos profesores son reconocidos por sus directivos por sus prácticas en el aula y con la comunidad educativa. Además sobresale la “capacidad de los profesores de asegurarse de que sus alumnos aprendan” (Bruns y Luque, 2014, p.6) obteniendo altos resultados en pruebas estandarizadas en escuelas públicas que albergan estudiantes vulnerables económicamente.

Se seleccionaron 15 docentes de excelencia, trabajando en escuelas públicas de la provincia de Concepción, Chile.  Para crear conexión entre la configuración comprensiva de la variables efectivas y la valoración del nivel de influencia de cada una de ellas por parte de los docentes. Se utilizo un método cualitativo mixto de diseño secuencial exploratorio de cuatro fases. Se utilizaron instrumentos cualitativos (entrevista semiestructura, preguntas abiertas y memos analíticos) como cuantitativos (Escala Lickert). Los resultados demostraron que para los docentes de excelencia todas las variables efectivas estudiadas son altamente influyentes en su praxis por su atributo de colaboración directa con el aprendizaje. Teniendo mayor valoración de influencia las variables consideradas internas; ambiente de aula y altas expectativas sobre los estudiantes. Les siguen en nivel de influencia: condiciones laborales, liderazgo directivo, desarrollo profesional, trabajo con apoderados y entre pares. Consideradas variables externas, puesto que en la praxis de éstas también participan e influencian otros actores.

A Scientometric analysis on Antibiofilm Agents developed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Authors: Jonnalagadda Sarada , S Anju
Published: February 2023

Development of therapeutic agents against a model organism like P.aeruginosa, which forms biofilms, has been reviewed in the current study. A scientometric analysis has been used to predict the developments in Pseudomonas biofilm research, to configure potential antibiofilm agents (ABA) that can have prominent inhibition or dispersal effect and also overcome the problem of drug resistance. Diversity of ABA, antibiofilm strategy, prominent investigators and institutions in Pseudomonas biofilm research during the period 2009-2019 are the areas of focus, to understand the contributions in antibiofilm therapy. Scientometric study and the meta-analysis from 25,113 research publications, indicate nanoparticles as most promising control in biofilm based hazard. The results of investigation among majority of research groups reveal prominence of combinatorial strategy in targeting biofilms. A major shift from conventional antibiotics to nanoparticles as potential ABA is one of the significant findings of the study. Co-word analysis and Sankey plots were instrumental to identify the network of strategies focusing on biofilm inhibition. A Pearson correlation analysis for percentage of biofilm inhibition shows significant relevance with the nanoparticle type but not size. Moreover the impact of antibiofilm activity could be significantly correlated with source, nature and method of synthesis.

Published: February 2023

Antibiotic resistance by pathogenic microorganisms and the toxic properties of several synthetic antioxidants have become a serious problem. The plant species constitute an inexhaustible source of molecules with very varied biological and pharmacological activities. This study aims to estimate the effect of substrate polarity on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of three medicinal plants: Artemisia campestris, Retamas phaerocarpa, Saccocalyx saturoides. As well as the total phenolic contents were evaluated. Antioxidant capacity was assessed by diphenyle-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH). Antibacterial activity was evaluated by the agar diffusion method. The total phenol content were determined by the Folin–Ciocalteu method. The results revealed that scavenging capacity of DPPH free radical depends of nature of the solvents. The percent of inhibition ranges from 46.56 to 93.20%. The ethyl acetate fraction of A. campestris exhibits the highest antioxidant activity. A.campestris extract showed the highest phenol content (731.66 μg EAG / ml extracted). Whereas all extracts tested were inactive on Escherichia Coli, Staphyococus. Extracts of A.campestris have great potential as an antioxidant drug.

Published: February 2023

Senegalia macrostachya is a wild legume whose seeds are highly prized by the Burkinabe population. Unfortunately, they are severely depreciated during storage by the main pest Caryedon furcatus. However, very few studies have looked at the impact of the amount of S. macrostachya seeds on major biological parameters such as egg laying and development of C. furcatus. These data could contribute to better control of this pest. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of the quantity of S. macrostachya seeds on the egg laying behaviour of C. furcatus and on the ability of the larvae to weave their cocoons. Pairs of C. furcatus up to 24 hours old were placed separately with Petri dishes containing 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 seeds of S. macrostachya in four replicates per treatment. The seeds were renewed daily until the females died. After egg laying, the seeds were incubated until adult emergence. Our results showed that the rate of egg-bearing seeds increased significantly from 77.60% when the female had 5 seeds to 100% when she had 100 seeds. Similarly, the rate of larvae that were able to weave their cocoons increased significantly with the number of seeds. The variation in the amount of seeds and the number of pairs of C. furcatus has a strong impact on the behaviour and development of C. furcatus. The results suggest the need to control C. furcatus on S. macrostachya especially in case of mass storage for the benefit of the consumers.

Published: February 2023

TP53 is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the development of several types of cancer. It has been reported that single nucleotide polymorphism in codon 72 of this gene, causing substitution of a Proline for an Arginine, may increase the risk of carcinogenesis. The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of the Arg72Pro polymorphism and to look for a possible association between this polymorphism and the occurrence of cancer. Our study concerned 82 DNA samples collected from the DNA bank of the Laboratory of Biology and Molecular Genetics of the Constantine University 3, and grouped 2 populations: 41 controls and 41 patients with one of three types of cancer: breast cancer, cervical cancer and lung cancer. This polymorphism was detected with PCR / RFLP. The results obtained in our study revealed a significant difference between the two patient and control groups for the heterozygous CG genotype (OR = 0.13, P = 0.001), which makes it possible to conclude that the CG genotype constitutes a risk factor in the occurrence cancer. However, the study showed that there is no difference between the Pro allele and the Arg allele in the patients compared to the controls (OR = 0.95, P = 0.87), which could rule out the possible association between the Arg72Pro polymorphism and the onset of cancer.
Characterization of genotypic disorders in ERα+ breast cancers by evaluating ERα and TFF1 expression: Is TFF1 a promising predictive biomarker for endocrine therapy?
Authors: DJILALI DOULA FATIMA , Mohammedi Latifa , SENHADJI RACHID
Published: February 2023

TFF1 is overexpressed in estradiol-dependent invasive breast carcinomas Estrogen Receptor positive (ERα+). However, certain subclasses of ERα+ tumors do not overexpress this protein and present a therapeutic escape from endocrine therapy. This study was conducted to characterize the genotypic disorders of ERα+ breast cancers by quantitative evaluation of intratumoral heterogeneity in ERα and TFF1 expression and to precise the clinical significance of TFF1 overexpression in primary ERα+ mammary invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs). To evaluate the intratumoral distribution of ERα and TFF1, 60 primary ERα+ IDCs were used and stereological analysis were conducted. The labeling index (LI) and the mean labeling index (MLI) for the two markers overexpression were evaluated. The coefficient of variation (COV) was used to estimate spatial dispersion of markers. Stereological analysis showed that the mean ERα and TFF1 labeling indexes (MLI) showed a heterogeneous distribution of markers in each tumor with rates fluctuating between 21.59% ± 10.18 and 46.91% ± 10.61 for ERα and between 18.73% ± 6.32 and 34.39% ± 8.71 for TFF1. The COV showed values fluctuating between 16.75% and 44.40% for ERα and between 25.3% and 65.7% for TFF1 reflecting an important heterogenous dispersion of ERα and TFF1 protein within the same tumor. This study allowed us a simple quantitative estimation of the phenotypic heterogeneity wich is the reflection of genotypic disorders. Our results showed that ERα+ breast cancers are genetically unstable and can present 2 different phenotypes [ERα+/TFF1+] or [ERα+/TFF1¯]. This genetic instability explains the resistance of these cancers to hormonal therapy.

The detection of satellites around extrasolar planets, so called exomoons, remains a largely unexplored territory. In this work, we study the potential of detecting these elusive objects from radial velocity monitoring of self-luminous, directly imaged planets. This technique is now possible thanks to the development of dedicated instruments combining the power of high-resolution spectroscopy and high-contrast imaging. First, we demonstrate a sensitivity to satellites with a mass ratio of 1%–4% at separations similar to the Galilean moons from observations of a brown-dwarf companion (HR 7672 B; K
mag = 13; 0.″7 separation) with the Keck Planet Imager and Characterizer (R ∼ 35,000 in the K band) at the W. M. Keck Observatory. Current instrumentation is therefore already sensitive to large unresolved satellites that could be forming from gravitational instability akin to binary star formation. Using end-to-end simulations, we then estimate that future instruments such as the Multi-Object Diffraction-limited High-resolution Infrared Spectrograph, planned for the Thirty Meter Telescope, should be sensitive to satellites with mass ratios of ∼10−4. Such small moons would likely form in a circumplanetary disk similar to the Jovian satellites in the solar system. Looking for the Rossiter–McLaughlin effect could also be an interesting pathway to detecting the smallest moons on short orbital periods. Future exomoon discoveries will allow precise mass measurements of the substellar companions that they orbit and provide key insight into the formation of exoplanets. They would also help constrain the population of habitable Earth-sized moons orbiting gas giants in the habitable zone of their stars.

Published: February 2023

Antimicrobial agents are one of the most widely used drugs in medicine. In the last fifty years, the misuse of these agents caused the emergence of resistant strains of bacteria that led to an increase in life-threatening infections. The need to develop new agents has become a priority, and antimicrobial peptides attained high consideration. The antimicrobial activities of a novel In-house designed hybrid cationic peptide (BKR1) were studied against different strains of Gram-negative bacteria. This was done using the broth dilution method as outlined by the Clinical and Laboratory Institute (CLSI). Checkerboard assy was employed to investigate the synergistic activity of BKR1 peptide with four antibiotics (Levofloxacin, chloramphenicol, rifampicin, and ampicillin). Finally, the cytotoxicity of BKR1 was evaluated against human blood cells and mammalian kidney cells (Vero cells). BKR1 displayed bactericidal activity against tested strains of Gram-negative bacteria, with zero hemolytic effects. It also acts as a strong adjuvant with levofloxacin, chloramphenicol, and rifampicin against resistant strains of P. aeruginosa and E. coli. This study represents the design and elucidation of the antimicrobial activities of a novel hybrid antimicrobial peptide named (BKR1). Our results indicate thar BKR1 is a promising candidate to treat resistant infectious diseases individually or as an adjuvant with conventional antibiotics.
A new, disjunct species of Bahiana (Euphorbiaceae, Acalyphoideae): Phytogeographic connections between the seasonally dry tropical forests of Peru and Brazil, and a review of spinescence in the family
Authors: Wurdack Kenneth J.
Published: February 2023

Bahiana is expanded from 1 to 2 species with the description of B. occidentalis K. Wurdack, sp. nov. as a new endemic of the seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) of Peru. The disjunct distribution of Bahiana with populations of B. occidentalis on opposite sides of the Andes in northwestern Peru (Tumbes, San Martín) and B. pyriformis in eastern Brazil (Bahia) adds to the phytogeographic links among the widely scattered New World SDTFs. Although B. occidentalis remains imperfectly known due to the lack of flowering collections, molecular phylogenetic results from four loci (plastid matK, rbcL, and trnL-F; and nuclear ITS) unite the two species as does gross vegetative morphology, notably their spinose stipules, and androecial structure. Spinescence in Euphorbiaceae was surveyed and found on vegetative organs in 25 genera, which mostly have modified sharp branch tips. Among New World taxa, spines that originate from stipule modifications only occur in Bahiana and Acidocroton, while the intrastipular spines of Philyra are of uncertain homologies.
Que nous disent les rêves des enfants ?
Authors: Ruby Perrine
Published: February 2023

Même s’il est très difficile d’étudier les rêves des enfants de manière expérimentale, les études réalisées suggèrent que le rêve se développe en parallèle des capacités cognitives, et notamment des aptitudes visuo-spatiales et de symbolisation. Les récits de rêve des petits sont courts et simples et se complexifient et s’allongent quand ils grandissent. Le contenu des rêves montre typiquement des éléments de la vie vécue, et les préoccupations notamment émotionnelles. La fréquence de cauchemars la plus élevée est observée chez les 5-10 ans, elle diminue ensuite et se stabilise à des valeurs basses à l’âge adulte (moins d’un par mois). En termes de fonction, les résultats chez l’enfant et chez l’adulte suggèrent que le rêve participe à la régulation émotionnelle et que l’activité onirique aboutit à une diminution de l’intensité émotionnelle des souvenirs. La recherche expérimentale sur le rêve converge donc vers les pratiques et conclusions de la psychologie clinique qui voit dans le rêve un outil utile pour la thérapie.

Du rêve sur un écran
Authors: Rimbaud Alexis
Published: February 2023

Les écrans sont-ils des obstacles aux rêves ou un puissant vecteur de l’organisation imaginaire ? En quoi et comment ces écrans peuvent-ils inviter au rêve à l’instar des contes et légendes ou, au contraire, entraver les processus inconscients ? L’évaluation des multiples usages des écrans ne peut être envisagée sans une approche psychopathologique et étiologique. Il convient ainsi, avant toute controverse sanitaire ou médicale, d’envisager la fonction de ces écrans dans le cadre de l’organisation psychique intime des enfants, des adolescents ou des jeunes adultes, y compris dans le cadre d’attachements parfois qualifiés d’addictions. La métapsychologie permet d’ouvrir sur une multitude de possibles en ce domaine et offre une lecture riche et complexe de ce qui s’est toujours noué entre le Sujet et l’image.
AAPOS Adult Strabismus Committee's Report on the Status of Adult Strabismus Telemedicine
Authors: Vagge Aldo , Roda Matilde , Valsecchi Nicola , Capo Hilda , Schiavi Costantino , Velez Federico G. ,   the AAPOS Adult Strabismus Committee
Published: February 2023

Purpose:

To evaluate the utility of telemedicine in the treatment of adult patients with strabismus.

Methods:

A 27-question online survey was sent to ophthalmologists of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) Adult Strabismus Committee. The questionnaire focused on the frequency of telemedicine utilization, the benefits in the diagnosis, follow-up, and treatment of adult strabismus, and barriers of current forms of remote patient visits.

Results:

The survey was completed by 16 of 19 members of the committee. Most respondents (93.8%) reported 0 to 2 years of experience with telemedicine. Telemedicine was found to be useful for initial screening and follow-up of established patients with adult strabismus, mainly to reduce wait time for a subspecialist visit (46.7%). A successful telemedicine visit could be completed with a basic laptop (73.3%) or a camera (26.7%) or could be assisted by an orthoptist. Most participants agreed that common forms of adult strabismus (cranial nerve palsies, sagging eye syndrome, myogenic strabismus, and thyroid ophthalmopathy) could be examined via webcam. It was easier to analyze horizontal than vertical strabismus. Among the paralytic forms, sixth nerve palsy was the easiest one to assess. Latent forms of strabismus can be partially diagnosed and evaluated using telemedicine, but half of the respondents underlined the importance of in-person examinations in these cases. Sixty-nine percent believed that telemedicine could be a low-cost and time-efficient health service solution.

Conclusions:

Most members of the AAPOS Adult Strabismus Committee consider telemedicine to be a useful supplement to the current adult strabismus practice.

The presented result contains the characterization of self-adjoint domains as a special case. Several examples of singular symmetric product operators are given.
Double total domination number of Cartesian product of paths
Authors: Li Linyu , Yue Jun , Zhang Xia
Published: February 2023

A vertex set $ S $ of a graph $ G $ is called a double total dominating set if every vertex in $ G $ has at least two adjacent vertices in $ S $. The double total domination number $ \gamma_{\times 2, t}(G) $ of $ G $ is the minimum cardinality over all the double total dominating sets in $ G $. Let $ G \square H $ denote the Cartesian product of graphs $ G $ and $ H $. In this paper, the double total domination number of Cartesian product of paths is discussed. We determine the values of $ \gamma_{\times 2, t}(P_i\square P_n) $ for $ i = 2, 3 $, and give lower and upper bounds of $ \gamma_{\times 2, t}(P_i\square P_n) $ for $ i \geq 4 $.

Published: February 2023

In this paper, we establish a novel fractional numerical modification of the 5-point classical central formula; called the modified 5-point fractional formula for approximating the first fractional-order derivative in the sense of the Caputo operator. Accordingly, we then introduce a new methodology for Richardson extrapolation depending on the fractional central formula in order to obtain a high accuracy for the gained approximations. We compare the efficiency of the proposed methods by using tables and figures to show their reliability.

Global Systemic Risk Interdependencies and Transitory Connectedness Networks
Authors: Polat Onur
Published: February 2023

This work examines the connectedness of financial stress index (FSI) categorical indicators indicating the US, other advanced economies, and emerging economies. In this context, the authors implement two pioneering methodologies, the Diebold-Yilmaz and the frequency connectedness, and compute spillovers among the FSI categorical indicators between January 3, 2000 and January 22, 2021. In doing so, they estimate global financial stress interdependence during financial turbulent episodes such as the global financial crisis (GFC) and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, they compute overall connectedness of FSI categorical indicators in the short-, medium-, and long-cycle. Overall spillover indexes computed by both methodology create proper signs to prominent financial/geopolitical incidents. Finally, they concentrate on the network connectedness of pairwise spillovers indicating the GFC and the COVID-19 pandemic epochs. The network analysis highlights the key role of equity and volatility channels in catalyzing total spillovers for both of the episodes.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Financial Management of MSMEs
Authors: Kelkar Abhijit Sharad , Ramachandran Nithya
Published: February 2023

With the advent of advanced information technology and related tools in late 1990s, the scope, nature, and avenues of the business opportunities and its financial perspectives changed. Stabilization and equating of the demand and supply for the sources of inflows and outflows of funds remained the challenges across the industry. The struggling players during this time remained MSMEs due to their limited scale and more importantly limited cushioning capacity to absorb the shocks of financial downs. The micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. It contributes significantly to the economic and social development of the country by fostering entrepreneurship and generating many employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost, next only to agriculture. MSMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units, and this sector contributes significantly to the inclusive industrial development of the country.

Published: February 2023

Neuropsychological abnormalities, as well as behavioural and psychological characteristics, are being examined in patients in order to determine the prevalence of cognitive impairment and other neurovascular risk factors, including prior strokes. The green light has been given by the institution's human ethics committee for this investigation. In order to conduct the study, the researchers used experimental clinical research techniques. Seventy-five stroke patients ranging in age from 20-70 were the focus of this study. All patients in the hospital had daily clinical examinations and were able to identify the underlying causes of their strokes. The NIMHANS Neuropsychological Battery was administered to all patients between one and six months after the onset of their stroke symptoms.
Bolstering Healthcare in an Orthopaedic Ward
Authors: Ansermeah Maseeha
Published: February 2023

Patients admitted to the orthopaedic ward often present with injuries post involvement in pedestrian vehicle accidents with little investigation into the context of injury. This chapter intends to portray the ecological framework behind admissions linked to the mechanism of injury and underlying psycho-social circumstances of the pedestrians. The PAR methodology is located within the epistemological realm of critical theory and constructivism, whereby facilitating positive social change is viewed to be the key outcome of such research. This outcome has been confirmed by the study prioritising the necessity for a departure from the traditional expert-led health system, evolving into one which supports the empowerment of patients and healthcare workers as a necessity. However, the implementation of the improvements has not been as straightforward as initially projected. Some of the challenges included the slow assimilation of proposed solutions for planned care and paucity of key engagement from upstream stakeholders.

Work Ethic and Stress
Authors: Cutler Andrew J. , Antohi-Kominek Angela
Published: February 2023

This chapter examines how the collegium and the corporate bureaucracy differ in their employee work ethic expectations and variations in the associated stressors. Ultimately, it is from an overlap of divergent industries that friction arises. The modern private university is an excellent example of such overlapping industry. There is a combination in such institutions of career academics and career bureaucrats. These two groups need to understand and support each other, but this might not always be the case. It might be simply a matter of not understanding the others work ethic perception. This leads the authors to ask, how does each group perceive the other, and furthermore what does each group need to learn about the other to mitigate the increased work-based stress? One possible method to answer these two questions is to reframe work-ethic stress using one of Bolman and Deal's four frames: structural, human resource, political, and symbolic (Bolman & Deal, 2017), specifically here the human resource frame.
Transformational Leadership in Academic Sphere in Slovakia
Authors: Tokolyová Tatiana
Published: February 2023

This chapter focuses on identifying problems in leadership in a specific segment of industry – academic leadership based on a survey conducted in Slovakia on a relatively small sample, (but given the size of the two participating faculties in the relevant sample of one regional university). It focuses on identifying the main characteristics of the applied techniques and management methods. Therefore, chapter focuses on two goals, (a) to identify how the academic leaders have coped with the pandemic (1st and 2nd wave) from the aspect of their stress; and (b) to identify their self-perception as leader. The results verify the assumption from the first stage of the research, i.e. application of methods of transformational leadership. This survey is to fill in the gap in surveys conducted in pandemic academic leadership applying the form of questionnaire in one regional university in Slovakia with 20 respondents.
