Crítica del arte fotográfico: fundamentos semióticos y análisis de Kinderwunsch
Authors: Bañuelos Capistrán Jacob
Published: July 2023

En este ensayo se propone un modelo sociosemiótico de análisis para la crítica del arte fotográfico y se lo aplica en Kinderwunsch (2006-2013), obra de la artista Ana Casas Broda. El modelo tiene como base los Fundamentos de la teoría de los signos de Charles Morris (1985) y permite realizar una valoración e interpretación semántica, sintáctica y pragmática de una obra fotográfica. Es una herramienta para realizar una crítica del arte fotográfico en ocho dominios de análisis de la imagen visual: histórico-tecno-estético, filosófico- sociocultural, lógico-semántico, morfológico (gráfico, plástico, formal), sintáctico orden-numérico, espacio-temporal, mediático y antropológico.
Arte del vacío en América Latina
Authors: Silva Armando
Published: July 2023

A finales del siglo xix el desarrollo del pensamiento filosófico irrumpió contra la unidad de la verdad y el logocentrismo, e introdujo nuevos objetos descentradores como soporte conceptual de una tendencia del arte contemporáneo que enfrenta los procesos creativos desde una radical heterogeneidad: arte que, a la vez que se niega a ser representado, se produce en esa negativa, haciendo evidente un malestar con lo real. A partir de las curadurías en América Latina y de ejemplos de arte público de los últimos años, quiero hacer visible esta línea crítica que fragua una contaminación entre arte, semiótica y filosofía.

Published: July 2023

Heterosis indication for high yield in F1 offspring has a very important meaning in the formation of hybrid varieties of corn (Zea mays L.). Through artificial hybrid between the parents, it can be found out the potential of a hybrid combination result, the value of heterosis, and the combined power. Hybrids between a few lines or corn varieties are to obtain a new hybrid with superior character compared to its parents which are expected to have high heterosis value. This research aims to find out heterosis value of some quantitative characters of F1 and F1R; a hybrid of two species of corn. It is conducted at Doyo Lama Village, Waibu Sub-district, Jayapura District, from October 2018 to August 2019. The research method is an experimental method in which the research consists of two stages; (1) experiment 1: hybrid between parents using single cross of hybrid method towards 2 genotypes of corn parents (J-Doyo 1 and J-Arso 1)to produce 2 genotypes of hybrid: F1 and F1R. (2) experiment 2: genetic evaluation to presume heterosis value from the character being studied. The findings reveal that F1 hybrid of JH-Arsol male x Doyol female has superiority for all characters compared to both parents, such as cobs length is 18,07 cm, cobs diameter is 5,10 cm, the number of rows of seeds per cob is 13,67 rows of seeds. Meanwhile, F1R JH hybrid of JH-Arsol female x Doyol male has superiority for all characters compared to both parents, such as cobs length is 22,93 cm, cobs diameter is 4,73 cm, the number of rows of seeds per cob is 13,00 rows of seeds. The offspring of F1 and F1R hybrid has more superiority than the parents, which is shown by positive heterosis value for all characters being studied.

Aim evaluation of specific T-cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in primary and secondary response to virus antigens by screening method.
Materials and methods. Patients were tested 11.5 months after COVID-19 and 610 months before and after vaccination. Healthy volunteers were screened before, 26 times during the vaccination course, and 68 months after revaccination with the Sputnik V vaccine. IgG and IgM antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 were detected by ELISA using commercially available kits (Vector-Best, Russia). Antigenic (AG) activation of T cells in the fraction of bloods mononuclear cells was assessed by IFN- production after AG stimulation in the wells of plates from ELISA kits intended for detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Data were processed by MS Excel and Statistica 10.0 software.
Results. AG-specific T cells were detected in 88.5% of vaccinated healthy volunteers, half of whom were found to have T cells appearing earlier than antibodies to AG. After 6-8 months, the level of AG activation decreases. Following the revaccination, the level of AG activation of memory T cells in vitro increases within six months in 76.9100.0% of vaccinated subjects. On the contrary, after COVID-19, 86.7% of individuals had in their blood the AG-specific T cells with high activity at the time of vaccination. The activity of T cells recognizing the RBD domain of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein and the proportion of individuals who had these cells in their blood increased after the vaccination of reconvalescents.
Conclusion. T-cell immunity against SARS-CoV-2 antigens has been shown to persist for 6 months after illness. In vaccinated individuals without history of COVID-19, such duration of the preservation of AG-specific T cells in blood was only achieved after the revaccination.

Introduction. Intranasal vaccination using live vector vaccines based on non-pathogenic or slightly pathogenic viruses is the one of the most convenient, safe and effective ways to prevent respiratory infections, including COVID-19. Sendai virus is the best suited for this purpose, since it is respiratory virus and is capable of limited replication in human bronchial epithelial cells without causing disease.
The aim of the work is to design and study the vaccine properties of recombinant Sendai virus, Moscow strain, expressing secreted receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 Delta strain S protein (RBDdelta) during a single intranasal immunization.
Materials and methods. Recombinant Sendai virus carrying insertion of RBDdelta transgene between P and M genes was constructed using reverse genetics and synthetic biology methods. Expression of RBDdelta was analyzed by Western blot. Vaccine properties were studied in two models: Syrian hamsters and BALB/c mice. Immunogenicity was evaluated by ELISA and virus-neutralization assays. Protectiveness was assessed by quantitation of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in RT-PCR and histological analysis of the lungs.
Results. Based on Sendai virus Moscow strain, a recombinant Sen-RBDdelta(M) was constructed that expressed a secreted RBDdelta immunologically identical to natural SARS-CoV-2 protein. A single intranasal administration of Sen-RBDdelta(M) to hamsters and mice significantly, by 15 and 107 times, respectively, reduced replicative activity of SARS-CoV-2 in lungs of animals, preventing the development of pneumonia. An effective induction of virus-neutralizing antibodies has also been demonstrated in mice.
Conclusion. Sen-RBDdelta(M) is a promising vaccine construct against SARS-CoV-2 infection and has a protective properties even after a single intranasal introduction.
Benefit of Fungicide Treatment after Trunk Renewal of Vines with Different Types of Esca Necrosis
Authors: Calzarano F. , Di Marco S. , Cesari A.
Published: July 2023

Vines cv. Trebbiano d’Abruzzo grown in three vineyards located in Teramo Province, Abruzzi, Italy, severely
affected by esca proper, were subjected to trunk renewal and thereafter treated with triazoles and fosetyl Al
fungicides, applied either by trunk injection via syringe, or by ground injection via injector pole. Trunk renewal, by
cutting the trunk, made it possible to determine the extent and type of wood deterioration on the residual trunk
portion, where it was found that rotted and discoloured wood often still remained. Fungicide treatment was begun in
1995, when trunk renewal was performed, and was continued until 1998; after this the vines continued to be monitored
for a further 4 years until 2002. In 2002, vines that had received trunk injections after trunk renewal were in
better vegetative condition than vines without such injections, with full yield and lower mortality. Cyproconazole was
particularly effective when trunk injected, but was not effective when injected into the ground. A possible explanation
for this is given. Moreover the effect that the severity of the wood necrosis observed at the time of trunk renewal
had on treatment effectiveness was evaluated. The current lack of similar trials and studies in other vineyards
makes standardisation of control methods difficult; any positive effects may have been due to concurrent factors such
as cultivar vigour, or peculiar environmental or cultural conditions.

Modern opportunities for the introduction of digital technologies for enterprises of all industries in the Russian Federation are constrained by the fact that most software products are designed for certain areas of functional work blocks: corporate document management systems, accounting, finance and credit, personnel records management. With the displacement of management units by digital collection points, analysis, evaluation and solving problems of route optimization, cost of services, calculation of the level of logistics services, followed by the search for the most effective alternatives, the management structure is not just rationalized, it undergoes transformation, both regulations and the complete elimination of the structural management units themselves. In the future, only the chief specialist can remain from specialized management services with widespread digital support of management functions. Therefore, the most important condition for digital transformation at ATP enterprises should be integrated control systems based on automation, robotization and digitalization of most processes, the execution of which can be delegated to the plane of computerized execution on the ground.

Published: July 2023

Investigou-se a associação da adesão ao protocolo de prevenção no controle do câncer de colo do útero com o número de casos confirmados na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), por intermédio de um estudo de caso-controle retrospectivo, realizado em 2019, no município de Amparo, São Paulo. A amostra constituiu-se de 102 mulheres assistidas pela ESF, na proporção de 1:1, entre os grupos. O desfecho foi a confirmação do câncer de colo do útero divulgado pelo exame laboratorial e presente no prontuário. Foram consideradas variáveis independentes (idade, raça, escolar idade, estado civil, número de filhos e adesão ao protocolo preventivo). Aplicou-se análise de regressão logística múltipla. A maior ia era branca (79,4%), com ensino médio incompleto/completo (28,4%) e com companheiro (56%). No grupo caso (com resultado positivo do exame), 84,3% das mulheres não aderiram ao protocolo; já no grupo controle, 32,4% das mulheres não aderiram (p< 0,05). Na análise final, observou-se que mulheres com idade ≤43 anos (IC95%:1,40-4,53), sem filhos (IC95%: 1,09-3,88) e que não aderiram ao protocolo para a prevenção do câncer de colo do útero tiveram mais chance de desenvolver a doença (IC95%: 1,18-4,87). A não adesão ao protocolo de prevenção aumenta a chance de ocorrência do câncer de colo do útero, evidenciando a urgência de reforçar essa estratégia.
Face-to-Display Workforce: Forfeiting Pay Cuts in Favour of Flexibility
Authors: Beňo Michal , Hvorecký Jozef , Cagáňová Dagmar
Published: July 2023

The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the urgency of addressing flexibility in the workplace. Many employees are still undecided about whether to stay in their office premises or to work from home, as well as about the effect of their choice on income. In other words, would their flexibility in selecting their workplaces affect it? How would they react, if it is accompanied by a pay cut? Is working from home without any cuts the dream of employees? Our paper analyses the opinions of e-employees in three countries: Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Six hundred face-to-display employees participated in our research. The quantitative study was conducted with the aim of analysing their responses, examining who would like to benefit from flexibility accompanied with his/her reduced salary and what that would mean for the future. The data indicate that Austrian e-employees are much more open to salary cuts than those in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The results also show that a higher age correlates positively with employees’ readiness to accept pay cuts. Similarly, the smaller the cut, the higher the readiness to accept it. The gender comparison shows that Czech and Slovak male breadwinners agree statistically more frequently ready to accept a reduction of their wages than women of the same nationality do.

Authors: Iksan Muchamad , Surbakti Natangsa , Kurnianingsih Marisa , Budiono Arief , Al-Fatih Sholahuddin , Ramon Tomás Mateo
Published: July 2023

According to Articles 38D and 38G of the Republic of Indonesia’s 1945 Constitution, citizens have the right to a sense of safety from the state, including the right to be protected from crimes. In Indonesia, there is an annually increasing rate of crime, many of them being crimes against wealth. Unfortunately, victims seldom receive attention, including recovery from losses or restitution. This was normative legal research conducted on secondary data, including primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and other supporting legal materials. The data were collected through a literature review and were analyzed using the descriptive-qualitative method. Results showed that the restitution rights of crime victims are regulated in Indonesia's legal regulations (the 1945 Constitution, the Law on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims, the Law on Human Rights, the Law on Corruption, etc.). But these regulations are still incomplete and they are difficult to implement in legal practice. In Indonesia, the implementation of crime victims’ restitution rights has not been fulfilled. Many victims fail to obtain restitution from the perpetrators because they still lack knowledge of their restitution rights and the application procedures due to a lack of socialization from the law-enforcing apparatus and the government. Victims may file a civil case lawsuit to the District Court to fulfill their restitution rights. It can be done through a combined mechanism of a civil lawsuit in a criminal case or through a pure criminal court decision. In conclusion, Indonesian law has regulated victims’ restitution rights. Even so, the laws are still incomplete and they lack harmony. The fulfillment of victims’ restitution rights is not yet ideal and its procedures are too complicated.

The Use of Social Media for Internal Communication within South African Local Government
Authors: Grawe Mkhululi Nceba , Nkoala Sisanda , Makwambeni Blessing
Published: July 2023

Contemporary organisations have embraced a wide variety of social media platforms. Social media provide companies, institutions and government departments with the quickest way to communicate with employees. The platforms allow for instantaneous, two-way and cost-effective communication. This paper uses Grunig’s two-way symmetrical as a lens to understand the challenges associated with the use of social media for internal communication within local government in South Africa. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires, while qualitative data was gathered using interviews. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the findings. Four categories of challenges emerged from the data analysed: lack of social media policies, compliance and adherence with the policy, and lack of organisational support. The absence of social media policy proved to be a significant factor that leads to the ineffective use of social media for internal communication. Municipalities with social media policies had few employees who knew about the policy, whereas the remainder failed to adhere to the policy. Lack of organisational support emerged as a challenge that hampers the use of social media for internal communication in local government. This paper contends that while the use of social media has increased significantly in municipalities, significant challenges associated with the management of social media need to be addressed if the Government Communication Policy is to be implemented effectively.

Tony Buzan first developed mind mapping, which has since become a popular learning technique. It solves various educational tasks by combining information from various sources and displaying it as keywords in a bright, colorful manner. Mind maps have been said to be a good way to study when applied to written material. This research aimed to guide and integrate mind mapping into descriptive writing with primary students. Ninety-four fifth-grade students at a primary school were chosen to participate in the study. Two groups of students from a primary school were recruited for the experiment. The proposed method was to be taught in one class, while the traditional method was to be taught in the other. The results showed that the students in the experimental group who learned using the mind map technique did better in writing than in the control group. Mind mapping has numerous educational applications and can assist students in their writing process. Teachers can use mind mapping tools to expand their knowledge and lay the groundwork for their students' learning. Teachers should be encouraged to take training courses on mind mapping to learn and practice the skills they need to use mind mapping in their classrooms.

Regional Distribution of Foreign Direct Investment in India
Authors: Anmol Preet Chhina
Published: July 2023

The tremendous rise in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows following the economic reforms in 1991, has been one of the most prominent features shaping the behavior of the Indian economy in the past three decades. The present study is based on secondary data and the objective is to examine the trends in FDI inflows to India following the global financial crisis, for the period 2009-2010 to 2021-2022. Additionally, the distributional pattern of FDI among the regions and states of India is also analyzed, using the data for 30 states/territories. The results reveal that total FDI inflows have increased in substantial amounts over the period from US$ 37,745 million in 2009-2010 to US$ 84,835 million in 2021-2022. Maharashtra and Karnataka have surpassed all other states in FDI equity inflows over the period from October 2019 to September 2022. These two states have commanded 50 percent of the total FDI, whereas the regions in central, eastern, and northeast India have received less than 3 percent of the total FDI equity inflows. Thus, the regional disparities in the distribution of FDI are quite visible post-analysis. It is suggested that government should focus on making investor-friendly policies to tap the potential of regions neglected by foreign investors.

Bu makale, web araçlarının dünü ve bugününden yola çıkarak metaverse’ün örgün din eğitimi bağlamında değerlendirilmesini konu edinmektedir. DKAB (Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi) dersleri öğretim programı ve öğretim teknolojilerine yönelik değişimin/dönüşümün tartışılması amacıyla, doküman analizi yöntemiyle hazırlanmıştır. Birinci başlıkta metaverse ve eğitim genel olarak değerlendirilmiştir. İkinci başlık ise din eğitimi ile DKAB derslerine yöneliktir. DKAB derslerinin değerlendirilmesi iki boyutlu tasarlanmıştır. İlki, din eğitiminin/DKAB derslerinin bireyin kişiliğini ve kimliğini inşa etme sürecine, ahlaki değerleri tutarlı biçimde benimseyip yaşayabilme, hayatı anlamlandırma kazanımına/vizyonuna yöneliktir. İkincisi, metaverse’ün pek çok duyuya hitap eden, etkileşime olanak tanıyan bir öğretim teknolojisi olarak ders içeriğini zenginleştirme boyutudur. DKAB derslerinin -sadece dini bilgiyi çeşitli yöntemlerle planlı biçimde aktarma değil- hayatı anlamlandırma, dini/ahlaki olarak tutarlı kimlik ve kişilik inşa etme yönündeki amaçları ve vizyonu göz önünde bulundurulduğunda önce eğitim felsefesinin ve öğretim programının bu geçişli ve katmanlı yapıya uygun olarak gözden geçirilmesi bir gereklilik gibi durmaktadır. Bu bakımdan metaverse, DKAB dersi öğretim programı, kazanım alanları ve öğretmen formasyonu için değişimi düşündürmektedir. Öğretim teknolojisi ve ders içeriği üretimi yönü -erken dönemde- değerlendirildiğinde ise, DKAB derslerinde metaverse kullanımı, Web 2.0’ın bir üst evresi gibi görünmektedir. Bu bağlamda metaverse, DKAB dersleri için bilginin aktarımında yeni nesil internete uyum/dönüşüm olarak kabul edilebilir.

Case Study of the Russian Disinformation Campaign During the War in Ukraine – Propaganda Narratives, Goals and Impacts
Authors: Mandić Josip , Klarić Darijo
Published: July 2023

This study examines strategic importance and use of disinformation and propaganda narrative of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (Russia) about foreign citizens fighting in the war conflict in 2022 on the side of Ukraine. With that regard, Russia uses disinformation as a tool of the information warfare or as a non-lethal weapon and operationalizes it in accordance with „4D Concept - dismiss, distort, distract, and dismay “. Thereby, the disinformation placed by Russia represents a classic example of fake, false, and distorted information designed and distributed with the intention to cause a targeted strategical, operational, or tactical effect. This research is focused on the analysis of distributed disinformation and its media/propaganda effect on the abovementioned topic in the following countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Montenegro. The research methodologies used in this study are content analysis and social network and instant messaging (IM) services analysis. The research has led to the conclusion that a systematic, continuous, and synchronised distribution of disinformation in a form of disinformation campaign can have negative impact on public opinion and trust. Therefore, such designed disinformation efforts require a quick and systematic reaction of the government since one of direct objectives of disinformation is to spread confusion among the public, undermine confidence in public institutions and Government and compromise the process of strategic decision making of the targeted country. To conclude, the likely effect of such disinformation campaign significantly increases as it spreads in a planned, synchronised and aggressive way through official and unofficial sources/communication channels and popular social networks and instant messaging (IM) services.

Objectives. Morphological analysis of papillary thyroid cancer is a cornerstone for further treatment planning. Traditional and neural network methods of extracting parts of images are used to automate the analysis. It is necessary to prepare a set of data for teaching neural networks to develop a system of similar anatomical region in the histopathological image. Authors discuss the second selection of signs for the marking of histological images, methodological approaches to dissect whole-slide images, how to prepare raw data for a future analysis. The influence of the representative size of the fragment of the full-to-suction image of papillary thyroid cancer on the accuracy of the classification of trained neural network EfficientNetB0 is conducted. The analysis of the resulting results is carried out, the weaknesses of the use of fragments of images of different representative size and the cause of the unsatisfactory accuracy of the classification on large increase are evaluated.Materials and methods. Histopathological whole-slide imaged of 129 patients were used. Histological micropreparations containing elements of a tumor and surrounding tissue were scanned in the Aperio AT2 (Leica Biosystems, Germany) apparatus with maximum resolution. The marking was carried out in the ASAP software package. To choose the optimal representative size of the fragment the problem of classification was solved using the pre-study neural network EfficientNetB0.Results. A methodology for preparing a database of histopathological images of papillary thyroid cancer was proposed. Experiments were conducted to determine the optimal representative size of the image fragment. The best result of the accuracy of determining the class of test sample showed the size of a representative fragment as 394.32×394.32 microns.Conclusion. The analysis of the influence of the representative sizes of fragments of histopathological images showed the problems in solving the classification tasks because of cutting and staining images specifics, morphological complex and textured differences in the images of the same class. At the same time, it was determined that the task of preparing a set of data for training neural network to solve the problem of finding invasion of vessels in a histopathological image is not trivial and it requires additional stages of data preparation.

Objectives. The problem of developing hardware effective method for estimating the total electron content in the ionosphere based on retransmission of the L1, L2 signals of the global navigation satellite system GPS using a repeater nanosatellite is solved.Methods. It is shown that with the retransmission of L1, L2 signals at frequencies of 150/400 MHz allocated for geophysical research, a coherent multi-position radar system is formed, including navigation satellites (NS) – signal sources, repeater nanosatellite (SR) and ground receiving points (RP). The delay time and phase of the four received signals contain the information about the total TEC on the propagation paths NS – SR and SR – RP. It is shown that due to retransmission and subsequent processing, it is possible to isolate TECs on each of the propagation paths as well as determination of the coordinates of the SR.Results. The content of the method, the procedure for evaluating TEC based on the results of processing the relayed signals, and the technical requirements for the relay equipment are determined. The accuracy characteristics of the proposed method are obtained. Simulation results are given.Conclusion. The information presented in the article may be useful for specialists and researchers who interested in the issues of radio tomographic research of the ionosphere and forecasting hazardous natural phenomena.

Objectives. In connection with the increase in the number of solar power plants, the automation of monitoring their performance becomes an urgent task. The search for anomalies in the operation of solar power plants is one of the main components of monitoring. The purpose of the study is to develop new methods and software algorithms for finding anomalies in the operation of solar panels based on the results of a digital twin created and trained according to the telemetry data of a solar power plant.Methods. The developed technique is based on statistical studies of deviations of power values at the point of maximum efficient operation of the solar panel calculated by the digital twin. In addition, a normalized value of the power in the maximum efficient operation of the solar panel was introduced for more accurate clustering and anomaly search.Results. Using the developed method of static search for half a year of observations, 18 anomalies were detected in the operation of the solar panels of the power plant. All cases are analyzed for the causes of anomalies in the operation of solar panels.Conclusion. It has been established that when using normalized power values in the analysis of deviations at the point of maximum power PN, it is possible to detect abnormal operation of individual panels. The level of deviation of the normalized values at the point of maximum power was calculated, indicating the presence of an anomaly in the operation of solar panel.

Antecedentes: La liposucción es unas de las cirugías más realizadas a nivel mundial, representando el 29% de las cirugías estéticas, dentro de las complicaciones asociadas a estas, tenemos el síndrome del embolismo graso (SEG), complicación potencialmente mortal que puede ocurrir durante y después de un procedimiento quirúrgico. Metodología: se realizó una revisión de información referente a las características epidemiológicas del embolismo graso secundario a liposucción en base de datos como PudMed, el sevier, Scielo entre otras. Se analizaron los artículos publicados entre 2018 a 2023, se tuvo en cuenta artículos de idiomas en inglés y español. Resultados: Colombia y Latinoamérica carecen de cifras estadísticas claras sobre este síndrome, debido a que no existen muchos estudios al respecto o un base de datos que agrupe los efectos de este tipo de procedimientos y la mortalidad asociada a cada uno de ellos, sin embargo, en base a los pocos estudios que existen, se estima que en Colombia el mayor número de muertes asociada a procedimientos estéticos es la liposucción, teniendo la embolia grasa como principal causa de muerte asociada a efectos adversos de estos procedimientos. Conclusión: Dentro de las intervenciones quirúrgicas realizadas una de las principales casusas de muerte fue el síndrome de embolismo graso con un 27,03%, casi todos los procedimientos fueron realizados por un profesional y la mayoría de las muertes se presentaban en el postoperatorio inmediato

pylori es un microorganismo gram negativo que tiene la capacidad de generar frecuentemente signos o síntomas relacionados con gastritis, hipoclorhidria, úlceras duodenales y cáncer gástrico. Durante la primera infancia se presenta una época de adquisición de la infección tanto en países industrializados como no industrializados, sin embargo, la historia natural de la enfermedad en paciente pediátrico difiere en gran medida de lo ya conocido en adultos lo que repercute significativamente en la epidemiología, las complicaciones, la aplicabilidad de las pruebas de diagnóstico, la resistencia a los antibióticos, el tratamiento y las tasas de éxito. La microbiota humana, compuesta por billones de microorganismos, desempeña un papel fundamental en el mantenimiento de la salud y en la influencia de diversos procesos fisiológicos al tener la capacidad de actuar como una barrera inmunológica que se relaciona competitivamente con bacterias patógenas. Entre los múltiples factores que pueden afectar la composición del microbioma, el H. pylori ha surgido como un contribuyente significativo, especialmente en niños. Adicionalmente, este microbioma puede estar relacionado con el aumento de tasas de erradicación, así como la disminución de reacciones adversas de los fármacos por lo que, la administración de probióticos como complemento del manejo médico de la infección es un punto de gran valor. El objetivo de esta revisión es identificar la relación existente entre la H. pylori y la microbiota intestinal en la población pediátrica con el fin promover el conocimiento e impactar de manera positiva en cifras relacionadas con manifestaciones clínicas, complicaciones, resistencia antimicrobiana, erradicación y recuperación.
