Leadership in Mazatlan's hotel industry
Authors: López Beatriz
Published: May 2023

In this paper modern administrative models are proposed of leadership styles that require managers of companies in the hotel industry for the competitive development of organizations. For this an approach is made to hospitality through an exploratory research and theoretical review documentary that leads us to review the development of leadership in organizations, from the management theories, theories of motivation and leadership theories, of which important aspects are rescued to guide and to know the new perspectives of the leadership styles that exist in the hotel industry in today globalized context of the XXI century facilitating the performance of the leader and collaborators, the development of the organizations, its subsistence besides of maintaining competitiveness in the market. To take again the new perspectives of the leadership styles implies to leave behind old models in which the employee were visualized as a mechanic entity reaching a new stage where a need humanized way of leadership is conceived. For the above, the old administrative standards used in older eras have to be overpassed, regarding that certainly at the time, were probably on par with the demands of those times and were effective as to what was needed. It is important to mention that leadership has evolved through different emerging methods that are going to be exposed throughout this document.

After having accomplished an observation of the different problematic that affect the daily life of our city, as reflect of what happens in the rest of the national territory, we have been attracted to implement a juridical analysis to the situation of the donation and organ transplantation in the legal ambit of our country, with the objective to identify the level of efficacy and the normative scope with respect to the situation of people who need a transplant. This restlessness born from the analysis of the law 1716 and its regulation, which ambiguously delimits the functions of the centers of health in what respect to this topic, also to establish the creation of a waiting list and a record, tool which objective would be norm the permanent supply of organs through donation programs. These do not accomplish their objective or being attached to a public policy in the ambit that allow the continuity of the institutions and benefit of the people in need.

Artykuł podejmuje się pytania o trwałość granic ludzkiego ciała i jego związki z otaczającą rzeczywistością. W odniesieniu do pogłebiającego się w wyniku zmian klimatycznych i zwiększającej się toksyczności środowiska lęku przed tym, co wnika z zewnątrz do naszego ciała, przywołuję koncepcje takich myślicielek, jak Stacy Alaimo, Donna Haraway i Karen Barad, by zastanowić się, w jaki sposób przemyśleć nasze relacje ze środowiskiem. Problem ten poruszam poprzez lekturę dwóch powieści eko-grozy, „Wilder Girls” Rory Power (2019) oraz „Unicestwienia” Jeffa VanderMeera (2014). Najważniejsze tematy analizy to relacja między wnętrzem i zewnętrzem ciała, powiązania między ludźmi a środowiskiem, przemiany ciał wynikajace z zakażenia oraz znaczenie języka. Odwołując się do artykułu Bethany Doane „Sublime Annihilation and Planetary Ecohorror” (2020), zastanawiam się nad etycznym wymiarem podobnych opowieści i ich znaczeniem w obliczu katastrofy klimatycznej.

Autor artykułu zastanawia się, czy istnieje jakaś narracja filozoficzna, która jest dopasowana do epoki antropocenu lub kapitalocenu. Stara się pokazać, że w kilku współczesnych nurtach filozoficznych widać zarysy takiej narracji, od teorii aktora-sieci po poststrukturalistyczny feminizm. Koncepcje postwzrostowe mogą być zaś mediatorem, który pomoże w spopularyzowaniu tych.
Akty zbiorowej przemocy na Bałkanach Zachodnich w Chorwacji i Kosowie (wybrane przykłady)
Authors: Ickiewicz-Sawicka Magdalena
Published: May 2023

The paper tackles the still to be fully explored forced isolation centres functioning beyond the democratic system of justice, serving the so-called re-education or quite simply isolation, and ultimately elimination, of political opponents or those sharing different worldviews to a particular political regime. The first section presents information concerning the Croatian Nazi extermination camp at Jasenovac, which was established during the existence of the so-called Independent State of Croatia during the Second World War. In the second part there is a description of the so-called re-education camps, intended for Josip Broz Tito’s opponents, establishing on the Croatian island of Goli Otok. The third part concerns issues related to the functioning of isolation camps of unspecified nature (and mainly identified as camps for military and civilian prisoners of war) in Kosovan territory. These camps were run by functionaries of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Abstracja od konkretu?

Published: May 2023

The article’s main aim is to analyse the sources of the opposition between the notions of abstraction and the concrete, widespread in common thinking, and the assumption that each abstraction is secondary to empirical (concrete) reality. The authors call these concepts “abstraction from the concrete”. The article consists of a historical introduction pointing to the potential sources of the above prejudice and a critical reconstruction of the pattern of thinking regarding the ladder of abstraction metaphor, based on the example of the work of Richard Swedberg. In its final section, The last part of the paper focuses on interpretation and analysis of the consequences of the author’s main argument and the definition of abstraction he proposes in light of Alfred Korzybski’s general semantics and Alfred N. Whitehead’s philosophy of science.

It looks at donations in the context of gift culture, with particular emphasis on the changes introduced by digitisation. The author argues that online donations are a source of valuable data, which could prove useful for many sciences. As a very specific and relatively new form on the media market, donations are not an easy research material. An outline is provided of the methodology in studies on online donations, including challenges and problems that researchers may encounter. The solutions presented in the article are the result of the author’s three years of work in the field of collecting and analysing online donation data.
OPTIMIZATION OF STATE BUDGET EXPENDITURES IN THE UKRAINE DURING THE WAR TIME
Authors: LIUTII Ihor , ROZHKO Oleksandr , LIUTIY Sviatoslav
Published: May 2023

Introduction. The full-scale military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine led to the destruction of a significant part of Ukraine’s economy and increased the contradictions in the functioning of its financial system. All this led to the need for a systematic analysis of threats and challenges related to the implementation of the budget process from the standpoint of its revenue part, as well as the optimization of expenditures in order to solve the current priorities of ensuring the financing of the Armed Forces and the defense of the state.

The purpose of the article is to analyse the dynamics and structure of expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine and to determine the approaches to their optimization as a necessary condition for the implementation of the priority of ensuring national needs in war conditions.

Results. It was emphasized that during the last decade, despite the Russian aggression in 2014, the state budget expenditures did not fully implement the strategic task related to ensuring the defense capability and security of the state. The absence of a budget strategy does not allow to increase the efficiency of the use of state budget expenditures and to minimize the risks and threats that arise in the future. Systematic analysis of budget expenditures over the past 10 years, analysis of changes to the state budget of 2022 and the Law on the State Budget of Ukraine for 2023 made it possible to identify the main contradictions of these processes and justify ways to increase the efficiency of the use of state budget expenditures. Emphasis is placed on the dependence of the State Budget of Ukraine on the financial assistance of our Western partners.

Conclusions. The system of operational management of state finances in the context of changes to the State Budget of Ukraine in 2022 became an effective factor in financing the Armed Forces and defense in the first months of the war, and financial assistance from Western partners ensured the relative balance of the State Budget of Ukraine. Financing of defense and security of the state should be a priority of the state’s budget policy both at the level of the Armed Forces and at the level of the defense industry, while constant monitoring of the targeted use of the state’s financial resources is of particular importance.

Published: May 2023

The need to increase cowpea production to solve the menace of malnutrition is a global challenge and land limitations have also made intercropping indispensable. Field trials were carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm, Kwara State University, Malete, and National Centre for Agricultural Mechanization (NCAM) Idofian to evaluate the growth and yield of cowpea cultivars and sorghum with their competitive behavior in cowpea-sorghum intercropping. Five cultivars of cowpea (IITA-256, IITA-277, VITAL-5, IT98K-491-4, and IITA-288) were intercropped with sorghum. Sole crops were included in the treatments as a check. The treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design and replicated three times. Among the sole, vital-5 cultivar had the highest number of branches and pods per plant and more seeds per pod compared to other cultivars. The cultivar also recorded the highest grain yield 591.30 kg/ha and 530.00 kg/ha respectively, for Malete and NCAM at the sole. At the intercrop, IITA-288 significantly had the least number of branches per plant and took longer days to attain flowering compared to other cultivars. The lowest grain yield at the intercrop was also obtained with this cultivar. Sorghum intercropped with cowpea cultivar IITA-288 was at par with the sole sorghum in all the parameters. The least grain yield of sorghum at the intercrop was obtained in sorghum intercropping with IITA-256 cowpea cultivar. The maximum Land Equivalent Ratio (LER), and Land Equivalent Coefficient (LEC), was obtained with the Vital-5 cultivar. Regardless of location, the competitive ratio (CR) values for IITA-256, IITA-277, and Vital-5 cowpea cultivars were higher than sorghum. The aggressivisity, (A) for these cultivars were also positive for cowpea and negative for sorghum. Although, all the cowpea cultivars demonstrated intercropping advantages in efficient utilization of natural resources intercropping with the Vital-5 cowpea cultivar was superior and could be adopted by the farmer.
Tensile Strength of Coconut Coir Fiber Composite as an Alternative Material to Replace Fiberglass in Hard Socket

Published: May 2023

Physically disabled is someone who has a movement system disorder or has physical abnormalities such as amputation, withering, stiffness, and others. The self-confidence of someone who has an amputee can be improved by having a prosthesis made, because it can replace the anatomical and functional functions of the body. The socket on the prosthesis is the most important component, because the use of the socket on the prosthesis is directly related to the patient's stump. One of the materials for making socket prosthesis is fiberglass. However, the use of fiberglass has a negative effect, namely it produces gas and dust emissions that can irritate stumps, is not a local product, and is difficult to recycle. Alternative fiber materials are using fibers from nature, coco fiber is an option as an alternative to fiberglass. The tensile strength test is the most basic test. The tensile strength test was carried out to determine the stress, strain, and elastic modulus of the fibrous polymer composites. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the tensile strength between fiberglass and coconut coir fiber, so as to find out which fiber material is suitable as an alternative to fiberglass in the manufacture of socket prosthesis. Using experimental quantitative methods. The composite material uses coconut coir fiber which was previously treated with 5% NaOH for 1 hour and then dried for 2-3 days. In the fabrication process using the vacuum bag method. Standard specimen refers to ASTM D3039/3039M. Tensile testing showed that the average tensile strength value of the coco fiber composite was 16.2 MPa and the average tensile strength value of the fiberglass composite was 30.2 MPa. This means that the value of the tensile strength of coco fiber is still below fiberglass and cannot be used as a substitute for fiberglass. However, coconut coir fiber can be used as an alternative to fiberglass, judging from the average maximum force that the coco fiber composite can withstand, which is 2630 N or equivalent to a load of 263 kg, this value is sufficient for the average adult weight in Indonesia with an average weight of 60 kg body
Takhrij Hadis Penghormatan Kepada Nabi Muhammad dan Pemaknaannya dari Perspektif Sosiologi

Published: May 2023

Artikel ini meneliti kualitas dan pemaknaan dengan pendekatan sosiologis hadis yang menyatakan bahwa Nabi Muhammad Saw. melarang sahabatnya berdiri ketika beliau masuk masjid menemui mereka. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini yaitu kepustakaan (library research) yaitu penelitian yang dilakukan dengan menelaah, dan memeriksa bahan pustaka sesuai dengan topik pembahasan. Hadis yang diteliti adalah jalur Abu Daud. Berdiri untuk menyambut kedatangan seseorang merupakan satu bentuk etika penghormatan. Hadis tersebut bertentangan dengan etika sehingga menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang kualitasnya dan bagaimana memahaminya. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa hadis tersebut berkualitas dhaif baik dari segi sanad maupun matan. Dari segi sanad, terdapat indikasi terputusnya sanad, sedang dari segi matan hadis tersebut bertentangan dengan dalil lainnya. Dengan pendekatan sosiologi ditemukan bahwa menghormati seseorang merupakan etika sosial yang jamak dilakukan oleh umat manusia dari berbagai etnis dan budaya. Bentuk penghormatan pun beragam mulai dari berdiri menyambut kedatangan orang yang dimuliakan, menuntun dan mendudukkannya di tempat mulia hingga penghormatan dalam bentuk semacam sujud. Bentuk terakhir ini dinilai sebagai pengagungan yang dilarang.
Analysis of Students’ Difficulties In Reading Texts to Increase Reading Comprehension In Islamic Senior High School
Authors: Rohma Fadilatur , Fawaid Achmad
Published: May 2023

One of the student's difficulties in reading Arabic texts, in general, is due to the unique shape of the Arabic letters and no resemblance to the alphabet. So that students feel foreign in identifying and recognizing the letters. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the difficulty of reading Arabic texts in maharah qira'ah learning, starting from linguistic, and non-linguistic problems, and providing solutions to Arabic subject teachers in overcoming these difficulties. The method used is a qualitative approach. The technique used is to use data collection, in collecting data for this study, namely by interviews, observation, and documentation. The research uses this technique because it is done by listening or observing the reading of Arabic texts in maharah qira'ah. And this technique is used to observe the speech of students who are carried out at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Barokah, especially Class X IPS. The difficulty of students reading Arabic texts in learning maharah qira'ah there are two influencing factors, namely internal factors (linguistics) and external factors (non-linguistics). The results of the study indicate that there are two factors for difficulty reading Arabic texts, namely internal factors (linguistics) and external factors (non-linguistics). And the efforts that must be made by an educator in overcoming students' difficulties in reading Arabic texts are by getting used to speaking Arabic even if only a little, providing motivation, giving rewards, getting used to reading Arabic texts, and changing the views of students who think that learning Arabic is difficult and not interesting, learning becomes easy and interesting
Geotecnia y Arquitectura. Consideraciones sobre el paradigma actual en geotecnia y sus posibles desarrollos futuros
Authors: Polo Friz Emilio Gastón
Published: May 2023

La comprensión del comportamiento del suelo es un elemento clave para el desarrollo tanto de obras de arquitectura, como de infraestructuras urbanas; ya que la mayor parte de los fallos en las construcciones, están relacionados con el desconocimiento relativo de la naturaleza del suelo. Teniendo en consideración la naturaleza heterogénea y compleja del suelo, ¿puede la geotecnia -según estándares actuales- lograr una comprensión de la dinámica terreno/obra construida? ¿o se requiere un cambio de paradigma con aporte de otras disciplinas, que permitan articular modelos más complejos y precisos? Siendo el objetivo de la presente investigación, el de explorar el paradigma actual en mecánica del suelo y exponer posibles escenarios futuros superadores para la disciplina, desde un diseño metodológico de tipo cuantitativo-cualitativo y utilizando técnicas de recopilación de datos; sistematización sobre un Sistema de Información Geográfica (GIS); con determinación de rasgos característicos -con análisis interpretativo y descriptivo- de la estructura soporte, se buscó determinar los rasgos característicos de los diferentes tipos de suelos encontrados en la ciudad de Mar del Plata, República Argentina, estableciendo zonas de caracterización geotécnica diferenciada. En la actualidad, existen líneas de investigación que buscan el desarrollo de modelos matemáticos que permitan describir un comportamiento realista del suelo; donde, en lo que refiere a la carencia de datos -siendo importante destacar que, si bien en la actualidad existe una gran cantidad de datos disponibles de diverso origen disciplinar, dicha información no se transversaliza e interrelaciona- la incorporación y sistematización de los mismos, sigue siendo la mayor dificultad.

Published: May 2023

La producción de poli-(3-hidroxibutirato) PHA por Bacillus. megaterium depende exclusivamente de la concentración de la fuente de carbono (glucosa), por lo que se propone utilizar modelos matemáticos de simulación para la cinética aplicada en la producción de polihidroxialcanoatos microbianos. Las bacterias pueden aislarse del humus de la lombriz roja californiana, y para el crecimiento de biomasa se utiliza un modelo logístico que incluye un factor de inhibición y una constante asociada al mantenimiento celular. En la cinética de formación de producto se propone el modelo de Leudeking-Piret, donde el coeficiente de formación del producto depende del crecimiento celular y la constante asociada al mantenimiento celular, ambas están determinadas por el pH de la fermentación, y corresponden al crecimiento asociado y no asociado respectivamente. El modelo para consumo de sustrato considera que las células lo metabolizan para crecimiento, síntesis de producto y generación de energía, así como para actividades de control de pH interno e intercambio de componentes celulares. Se plantea ecuaciones de cinética para estimar resultados experimentales de este caso de estudio basadas en los modelos logístico, de Leudeking-Piret y de consumo de sustrato, para determinar los valores de los rendimientos de biomasa y de producto, en función al sustrato utilizado en la estequiometria de la producción de PHA. La siguiente etapa contempla la aplicación de la espectrofotometría UV-Vis para estimar el crecimiento celular en Unidades Formadoras de Colonias (UFC) y su comparación con la escala de McFarland para cuantificar de forma equivalente el número de células bacterianas.

Patients using complete-dentures frequently report problems with oral function, typically caused by retention and stability problems of the mandibular prosthesis. Implant supported overdentures have diminished many of the problems associated with conventional dentures by providing retention, stability, function, esthetics and physical and emotional health. Many articles reported different advantages of implant overdenture and render it as a rst-choice standard care for the edentulous patient. This article reviews the different types, indications & contraindications and treatment considerations in the diagnosis and treatment planning of an implant supported overdenture prosthesis

Introduction: The skin is the largest organ of the body. Skin tumors encompass a wide spectrum and belong to a diverse group of neoplasm rendering the classication difcult. The aim of our study was to study hist Aim: opathological types of skin tumors and distribution of skin tumors according to WHO classication The present study was a prospective &ret Materials and methods: rospective study of skin tumours from January 2016 – April2019 at Department of Pathology, Government Medical College,Surat . The study included all histopathologically conrmed cases of skin tumors. Out of 71 skin tumours, 34 were benign,5 were borderline and 32were malignant. T Results: hus benign tumours were more common than malignant tumours with benign to malignant ratio of 2.05:1. Keratinocytic tumours were highest 25 cases (62%) followed by Melanocytic tumours 18 cases (18.18%). Benign tumours were common in younger age group whereas malignant tumors showed an ascending trend in age. Both benign and malignant tumours of skin were common in males than females Hi Conclusion: stopathological evaluation of skin biopsy is an important tool in diagnosis of skin neoplasms. Intradermal nevus and basal cell carcinoma was the most common benign and malignant neoplasm respectively. Malignant neoplasms were more common in older patients.

Petrochemical workers are exposed to many noxious substances present in their work places. The most dangerous effects are due to benzene which
is mostly found in petrochemical vapours. The study was carried out in the Pathology department, Govt Medical College, Amritsar. 100 Petrol
pump workers from different areas of the city were included as study group and 50 individuals from various departments in Government Medical
College, Amritsar, were included as control group. Whole blood samples of the subjects were taken and analysed for complete blood count, liver
function tests and renal function tests. The results showed statistically signicant increase in values of hematocrit, MCV, RDW, MPV, AST, ALT,
ALP, GGT, Blood Urea, S. Creatinine, S. Uric Acid, Random blood sugar and statistically signicant decrease in values of MCH, MCHC, Platelet
count, TSP, DSP with increased duration of exposure and in comparison to controls. However, there is seen statistically signicant increase in Hb,
red blood cell count in initial years of exposure with subsequent decrease in their value after increased duration of exposure. There is seen
neutropenia and lymphocytosis with PBF examination showing macrocytic RBC picture with no signicant difference in values of TLC, mid cell
counts, PDW, PCT, S. Bilirubin (total and direct), S. Na+, PT, PTI with increased duration of exposure. The results of above parameters indicates
that exposure to gasoline compounds over a long period of time may be the causative factor of hematotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

This study aimed to compare serum lipase, serum amylase, and CT severity index (CTSI) between acute and recurrent pancreatitis cases. The study was conducted retrospectively, analyzing the case records of patients diagnosed with pancreatitis in 2018 at the Government General Hospital in Guntur, India. The diagnosis of pancreatitis in all patients was established using biochemical markers, and the severity was assessed by CTSI at the time of admission. In total, 95 cases were analyzed, of which 55 were acute pancreatitis cases and 40 were recurrent pancreatitis cases. The mean age, serum lipase, serum amylase, and CTSI were compared between the two groups. Our study showed that there is no signicant difference in serum lipase and amylase values between acute and recurrent pancreatitis groups, however, the acute pancreatitis group showed a signicantly higher CT Severity Index than the recurrent pancreatitis group. So, we should be more cautious while managing acute pancreatitis patients.
EXTRAMEDULLARY EPIDERMOID IN A CASE OF MYELOMENINGOCOELE: AN UNUSUAL ASSOCIATION
Authors: Chakraborty Abhirup , Roy Kaushik , Kumar Saha Suniti
Published: May 2023

Spinal epidermoid cysts are rare constituting between 0.5% to 1% of all spinal tumors but accounting for up to 10% of intraspinal tumors in
children. They are most often seen in the lumbosacral spine. Males are more frequently affected than females. Epidermoid cysts arise from
pathologic displacement of epidermal cells into the spinal canal. They can be acquired from trauma, lumbar puncture, surgery such as
myelomeningocele closure or arise as congenital lesions, like when there is improper closure of the neural tube, which results in the inclusion of
epiblasts in the neural tube. Forty percent are intramedullary and sixty percent are extramedullary. Myelomeningocele is an entity which is
common in the lumbosacral region due to congenital neurulation defect. The prevalence of myelomeningocele is approximately 0.8 to 1 per 1000
live births worldwide. The anatomical location may vary as cases of cervical, cervicothoracic, thoracic, thoracolumbar, lumbar and sacral have also
been documented. The sac usually contains nerve bres or neural tissues, however sometimes it may contain intradural lipoma or dermoids. Here
we present a rare case of a 1 year 6 month old male child presenting with with dorsolumbar myelomeningocele with symptoms of urinary and bowel
incontinence and weakness of both lower limbs found to have extrameduallary epidermoid as a content of myelomeningocoele sac. The
concurrence of a congenintal neoplasm within the spinal canal associated with myelomeningocele seems to be a very rare event as very few such
cases have been reported worldwide to the best of our knowledge

An anal stula is a common benign anal condition and its surgical treatment runs the risk of anal incontinence and recurrence rates. However, the Ligation of the intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) devised in 2007 results in zero sphincter damage and shorter hospital stay compared to conventional stulotomy. The study aimed to nd the efcacy of the LIFT procedure in patients suffering from trans-sphincteric stula-in-ano in terms of wound infection, anal incontinence, and recurrence rate. A prospective, observational study was carried out among 40 patients of either sex diagnosed with anal stula in the Department of Surgery, Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhubaneswar over a period of about 2 years. Statistical analysis was done by student t-test. The mean age group was 42.48 ± 10.33 years and 90% were male. Out of all the trans sphincteric stula-in-ano, 82.5% were posterior & 60.6% were posterior left side while the rest were anterior. The mean duration was 54.88 ± 10.17 mins. On average, hospital stay was 4.65 ± 1.37 days and the mean time to wound healing was 2.80 ± 1.02 weeks. Anal continence was 100% preserved in all patients. Only 3 (7.5%) patients had recurrence as observed at 6 months of follow-up. The LIFT procedure is an effective surgical procedure in terms of preventing wound infection and anal incontinence. The hospital stay was less, with early wound healing and a low pain score.

Objective: To study the relationship between various oral health diseases in children with the working status of their mothers Design and Setting: Prospective cross-sectional study conducted at private medical college. Method: 100 children between the age 0-15 years in the outpatient Department of Paediatrics, ASCOMS and Hospital, for a period of 6 months (Jul 2021 to Dec 2021) formed a study group. Oral clinical evaluation was done by looking at the soft tissue for cysts, clefts, traumatic lesion, bad breath and gingivitis. Examination of the dentition included the jaw positioning, presence of hypo-plastic / hypo-calcied enamel and dental decay. Along with the examination, the mothers were enquired about their work status. Treatment was given to kids with oral health problems and follow up was done. Results: A total of 100 children were enrolled in the study. The mean age of children was 7.31 ± 4.14. Out of these 70 children with oral health disease, 54.29% (38 children) had working mothers (WM) and 45.71% (32 children) had Non-Working mothers (NWM) and the ratio of disease in children of WM to that of NWM is 16:19 In nonworking mothers, 45.7% of the children suffered from oral health problems and 56.7% did not have oral health diseases. In working mothers, 54.3% of the children suffered from oral health problems and 43.4% did not have oral health diseases. The association between kids with disease and WM comes out to be 1.55 with 95% CI of [0.66, 3.63] Conclusion: The study suggests a larger number of oral health diseases in children of working mother as compared to non working mothers.
