Authors: Rubilar Paola , Núñez-Franz Loreto , Apablaza Mauricio , Ramírez-Santana Muriel , Molina Xaviera , Canales Luis
Published: November 2024

Introduction The rapid emergence of COVID-19 urged policy responses worldwide, focusing on vaccination and mobility restrictions. Chile represents a unique scenario for analyzing personal preventive measures amid intensive communication and vaccination campaigns. This study aims to explore changes in population adherence to non-pharmacological preventive measures during the pandemic and the factors that explain this adherence each year. Methods 386 individuals who participated in two population-based studies (2021 and 2022) were considered. An interview was conducted to measure adherence to self-care practices, and case and contact tracing by the health authorities. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to measure change between 2021 and 2022, bivariate analysis, and a linear regression model for each year were performed. Results Mask-wearing in public places was the most commonly used measure (95.9% in 2021, 89.9% in 2022). Follow-up of cases and cases contacts by the health authority had high coverage in 2021 (94.3% and 83% respectively). A greater decrease was observed in contact tracing in 2022 totaling 33.3%. An increase in the score of adherence to preventive practices was observed in 2022 (p < 0.00). The regression model showed in 2021 that women were more likely to adopt preventive behaviors (95% confidence interval: 0.27 to 1.13) and the overweight/obese had higher adherence compared to normal body mass index (95% confidence interval: 0.06 to 0.98). In 2022 being a young adult (30 to 49 years) predicted the adoption of behavioral precautions (95% confidence interval: 0.00 to 1.32). Conclusions Adherence to preventive measures increased even with high vaccination coverage, likely due to the epidemiological situation with the Omicron variant circulating in 2022.

Ötekileştirilme, Sömürü ve Gündelik Hayat Taktikleri Bağlamında Göçmenler: Düzce Örneği
Authors: Kızılelmas Fatma
Published: November 2024

Türkiye özellikle 2011 yılından itibaren yaşadıkları iç savaş nedeniyle ülkelerini terk eden Suriye ve Irak kökenli mültecilerin ve yaşadıkları ekonomik sıkıntılar ve siyasî istikrarsızlıklar nedeniyle göç eden İran, Afganistan ve Pakistan kökenli kimselerin sığındıkları bir ülke olmuş ve dünyada en fazla sığınmacı barındıran ülke haline gelmiştir. Ankara ve İstanbul gibi metropol kentlere yakın olan Düzce ilinde tarım, hayvancılık, sanayi, inşaat ve hizmet sektöründe çalışacak iş gücü açığı bulunması, bu şehri iç göçlerin yanı sıra Suriye, Irak ve Afganistan kaynaklı dış göçlerin de yöneldiği ve göçmenlerin çalışmak ve ikamet etmek için tercih ettiği bir yer haline getirmiştir. Göç alan diğer yerler gibi Düzce’ye gelen göçmenler de sığınma amacıyla veya çalışma niyetiyle ya da Avrupa’ya geçmek için geçici olarak kalma gayesiyle gelebilmektedirler. Amaçları ne olursa olsun bu göçmenler hayatlarını devam ettirebilmek için çalışmak zorunda kalmakta ve genellikle enformel sektörlerde vasıfsız olarak, emek yoğun ve düşük ücretli işlerde çalışarak emek sömürüsüne ve ötekileştirilmeye maruz kalmaktadırlar.
Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin kuzey batısında yer alan Düzce iline sığınma amaçlı göç eden geçici koruma altındaki Suriyeli göçmen erkeklere, uluslararası koruma altında olan Iraklı göçmen erkeklere ve çalışma amaçlı ya da sığınma amaçlı düzenli/düzensiz olarak gelen Afgan göçmen erkeklere ötekileştirme, sömürü ve gündelik hayat taktikleri bağlamında odaklanmaktadır. Bu şekilde bir taraftan Düzce’deki sığınmacı erkeklerin iş bulma sırasında, çalışma hayatlarında ve gündelik hayatlarında yaşadıkları ötekileştirilme ve sömürü ortaya çıkartılırken, diğer taraftan da yaşadıkları zorluklar karşısında onların hayata tutunma taktiklerine, gündelik hayat sosyolojisi kuramları çerçevesinde bakılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda Lefebvre’nin gündelik hayat teorisi, De Certau’nun “gündelik hayatın keşfi”ndeki strateji ve taktik kavramları ve sembolik etkileşimci yaklaşım kuramcılarının görüşleri, yeni toplumsal normlara ve günlük yaşama dair adetlere muhatap kalan düzenli/düzensiz sığınmacıların durumu yorumlanırken dikkate alınmıştır. Ayrıca bulunduğu ve hayatını sürdürdüğü yeri muhtelif sebeplerle terk edip yabancısı olduğu bir mekânda ve ortamda yaşamak durumunda kalan insanları göç etmeye sevk eden sebepler üzerinde durulmuş, göç kararı vermek, göç hareketine dâhil olmak ve varılan yerde yeni bir hayat kurmak sürecinde sığınmacıları etkileyen etmenler ve sığınmacıların karşı karşıya kaldığı tehditler ve fırsatlar tespit edilmeye çalışılmış ve bunlar karşısında sığınmacıların kullandığı taktikler anlatılmıştır.
Power of Social Media Influencers in Shaping Omani Tourists Decisions
Authors: Tumati Raja , Daşkın Mustafa , Yavuz Engin
Published: November 2024

With its extensive use and sales-focused reflections on purchasing decisions, social media has evolved into a major tourism marketing tool. Many tour businesses and destinations use social media and influencers to reach out to potential travellers. Besides, influencer marketing has grown in popularity, with social media influencers effectively reaching more people than other sources.
Aim: The main aim of the book was to determine the influence of social media influencers on the travel decisions of Omani consumers. Moreover, the role of trust in consumer decisions. In addition, this book also aims to determine the extent to which social media influences affect tourists' decisions to visit specific destinations.
Methodology: The book used a qualitative research approach. Purposive sampling was used, and structured interviews were conducted with 25 participants. All the interviews were conducted between January and April 2024. 17 questions were identified, and the same questions were asked to maintain consistency. 
Results: The primary conclusion of the book is that social media influencers play a crucial role in tourists’ decisions to visit a destination, while credibility plays an important role. The research also indicates that consumers' decisions are not solely determined by influencers on social media platforms but also by the platforms themselves.
Conclusion: The presence of social media influencers (SMIs) radically changes customer behaviour in the tourism sector. Followers trust their influencers, and if they suggest something, they consider it. Trust is a critical element in influencer marketing, and it helps to establish and maintain effective long-term connections between organisations and customers. It is suggested that tour businesses utilise SMIs because they serve to boost people's interest in travelling. As consumers always seek information about their next trip, SMIs can effectively provide information and fill this gap.

Brain Tumor Immunotherapy: Current Advances and Future Prospects
Authors:   Department of Pharmacognosy Kampala International University Uganda, Davis Twesigye
Published: November 2024

Malignant brain tumors, particularly gliomas and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), remain among the most lethal cancers due to their aggressive nature, genetic complexity, and resistance to conventional therapies. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising approach to combat these tumors by harnessing the immune system’s capacity to target and destroy cancer cells. This review explores the current advances in brain tumor immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, cancer vaccines, and oncolytic viruses. Despite significant progress, challenges such as the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, the blood-brain barrier, and tumor heterogeneity hinder the efficacy of these treatments. The review also delves into the unique immunological landscape of the brain, examining the role of microglia, astrocytes, and infiltrating immune cells, and their involvement in tumor-immune evasion. Prominent tumor-associated antigens like EGFRvIII, HER2, and survivin are discussed as key targets for immunotherapeutic strategies. Finally, the review outlines future prospects and research directions aimed at overcoming current obstacles and enhancing the effectiveness of immunotherapy for brain tumors Keywords: Brain Tumor, Immunotherapy, Current Advances, Future Prospects
Assessing the Potential Dangers of Cell Phone Use to Human Health: A Review of the Evidence on Cancer Risk
Authors:   Department of Pharmacy Kampala International University Uganda, Ali Zakaria
Published: November 2024

Cell phones have become ubiquitous in modern life, leading to concerns about potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by these devices. This review examines the current scientific evidence on the potential link between cell phone use and cancer risk, focusing on epidemiological studies, experimental research, and mechanistic investigations. Epidemiological studies, including large-scale cohort studies and case-control studies, have produced mixed results, with some indicating possible associations between cell phone use and specific cancers such as glioma and acoustic neuroma, while others find no significant link. Experimental research has explored potential biological mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and DNA damage, but definitive connections to cancer remain elusive. Regulatory perspectives and public health recommendations emphasize cautious use, particularly among vulnerable populations. Despite extensive research, significant gaps remain, including limited long-term data and inadequate exploration of new technologies like 5G. Future research should address these gaps through long-term, interdisciplinary studies and improved exposure assessment methods. This review highlights the complexity of the issue and underscores the need for ongoing research to provide clearer insights and inform public health guidelines. Keywords: Cell phone use, cancer risk, radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF), epidemiological studies.
Patient Teaching Plan for Type II Diabetes: Addressing Genetic Predisposition and Hypertension
Authors:   Department of Pharmacognosy Kampala International University Uganda, Taliikwa Nicholas Ceaser
Published: November 2024

Type II diabetes, characterized by insulin resistance and eventual beta-cell dysfunction, is a global health crisis exacerbated by genetic predisposition and comorbidities such as hypertension. This review proposes a patient teaching plan aimed at managing Type II diabetes in individuals with genetic risk factors and concurrent hypertension. Recognizing that genetic predisposition significantly heightens the risk of developing Type II diabetes, the review underscores the necessity of incorporating genetic insights into patient education and care strategies. Hypertension, prevalent among those with Type II diabetes, complicates disease management and increases the risk of severe complications, necessitating a dual focus on both conditions. The review outlines a comprehensive teaching plan that includes education on the genetic aspects of diabetes, lifestyle modifications, and strategies for managing hypertension. It emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet, regular physical activity, weight management, stress reduction, and medication adherence. The plan also highlights the role of continuous monitoring through tools such as blood glucose logs and blood pressure measurements to track progress and adjust treatment as needed. Family involvement and support systems are identified as critical components of the teaching plan, providing emotional support and reinforcing healthy behaviors. By integrating personalized education, lifestyle changes, and ongoing support, the plan aims to improve patient outcomes, enhance quality of life, and effectively manage the combined challenges of Type II diabetes and hypertension. Keywords: Patient Teaching Plan, Type II Diabetes, Genetic Predisposition, Hypertension.

Authors:   Department of Pharmacology Kampala International University Uganda, Mugaiga Mukisa Ian
Published: November 2024

HIV/AIDS remains a critical global health challenge, with profound social and economic impacts exacerbating existing inequalities and straining healthcare systems. Since its inception, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has been at the forefront of combating this epidemic through its comprehensive and strategic approach. This review examines the foundation’s role in reducing HIV incidence and extending lives by focusing on prevention and treatment strategies. The foundation’s key initiatives include advancing scientific research and innovation, expanding access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), supporting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and integrating HIV care with other health services. The foundation also emphasizes policy advocacy and global leadership, collaborating with international organizations to shape health strategies and reduce stigma. The review highlights the impact of these efforts in high-burden regions, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, and explores emerging challenges such as drug resistance and health inequities. Future directions include embracing innovative solutions, expanding access to advanced prevention methods, and ensuring the sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs in resource-limited settings. The Gates Foundation’s multifaceted approach serves as a model for global health initiatives, demonstrating how strategic investment and collaboration can drive significant progress in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Full Federal Court Allows PepsiCo’s Appeal and Reverses Decision to Impose Royalty Withholding Tax and Diverted Profits Tax on “Embedded Royalties”
Authors: Butler M. , Wang L.
Published: November 2024

In PepsiCo, Inc v. Commissioner of Taxation, the Full Federal Court has allowed PepsiCo’s appeal against the decision of Moshinsky J at first instance, ruling that: (i) no portion of payments made to PepsiCo under an Exclusive Bottling Agreement by an unrelated bottler and distributor – for syrup concentrate for manufacturing soft drinks – was a “royalty” for Australian royalty withholding tax (RWHT) purposes and (ii) PepsiCo did not obtain a “tax benefit” by not paying RWHT and therefore was not liable to pay diverted profits tax (DPT). The decisions of the Full Court and the trial judge are the first to consider the Australian tax treatment of “embedded royalties” and the DPT rules (which were introduced in 2017) and include detailed reviews of the tax issues raised by the licensing of valuable trademarks and intellectual property.
«Para la más fácil inteligencia de todos y de todas». La literatura para religiosas en el siglo XVIII
Authors: Guinot Ferri Laura
Published: November 2024

Durante el siglo XVIII se produjo un incremento de la publicación de manuales para religiosas tanto en Europa como en América. Estas obras, que fomentaban nuevos modelos de espiritualidad que abogaban por una moral más rigurosa y un alejamiento de los excesos barrocos, buscaban también facilitar la transmisión de la doctrina católica para un público no especializado. En un contexto de cambios en el mercado del libro, en la construcción de nuevos públicos lectores y en los roles de género, este trabajo busca analizar el papel simbólico que representaron las mujeres, concretamente las religiosas, en la popularización del conocimiento teológico y doctrinal durante el periodo ilustrado. Para ello, se tomarán ejemplos de España y Nueva España que permitirán analizar la categoría de «literatura para mujeres» durante la Ilustración y cómo esta adquirió nuevos matices en relación con las transformaciones en el seno de la Iglesia católica.

Authors: Morte Acín Ana
Published: November 2024

Las redes y comunidades, así como las formas de solidaridad, que se generaron en torno a las mujeres con fama de santidad son la base de esta propuesta que plantea una nueva línea de investigación para ahondar en el conocimiento del fenómeno de la santidad femenina en la Edad Modena, ejemplificada por el caso de sor María de Ágreda. El éxito y la pervivencia a lo largo del tiempo de estas mujeres no hubiera sido posible sin la existencia de comunidades que las sostuvieran con su colaboración y solidaridad.
Mercedarios, franciscanos y jesuitas en la construcción de la ejemplaridad de María de la Antigua (siglos XVII-XVIII)
Authors: Alabrús Iglesias Rosa Maria
Published: November 2024

Este artículo analiza las glosas que sobre María de la Antigua hicieron los mercedarios, los franciscanos y los jesuitas, destacando la instrumentalización de su imagen de ejemplaridad femenina. Los mercedarios rastrearon la primera visión de esta monja a través del texto biográfico y hagiográfico Vida exemplar, escrito por Andrés de San Agustín, publicado en 1675, en el que se destacan sus virtudes: castidad, caridad, humildad, amor a la salvación de las almas, así como sus dotes literarias. La publicación generó recelos por parte de la orden franciscana, que, tres años después, apoyó la edición del texto Desengaño de religiosos y de almas que tratan de la virtud de sor María y defendió su ortodoxia mística y visionaria. Los jesuitas promovieron una nueva edición de la obra de ella, en Barcelona, en 1697, politizando su figura como un icono de la monarquía de los Habsburgo, en el marco de las invasiones de Cataluña por la Francia de Luis XIV y los inicios de la Ilustración.

Mapas para la peregrinación interior. 'Klosterarbeiten' y reliquias en el Real Monasterio de Santa Clara de Salamanca
Authors: Arribas Ramos Lara
Published: November 2024

Tras la reforma cisneriana, las clarisas de Salamanca se convierten en un importante monasterio dentro de las redes de espiritualidad femenina de la meseta ibérica. Entre su modesta colección de reliquias se distinguen algunas manufacturas conventuales realizadas en papel, núcleos espirituales originadores de prácticas de visualización y oración como productos creados para la unión en Dios. Son estos relicarios oraciones convertidas en imágenes, en los que los significados adheridos al proceso de creación, a los materiales y a los espacios en los que se veneran los distinguen de otros vestigios sacros al uso. Para ellos se plantea un estudio que trasciende las aparentes contradicciones presentes en estos pequeños lugares para la contemplación y que pretende resituarlos en sus contextos propios de peregrinación interior y religiosidad encerrada en movimiento, de raíces medievales y ecos carmelitanos.
Una urna de plata mexicana para los restos de San Juan de Dios en Granada
Authors: Sánchez-Cortegana José María
Published: November 2024

Los restos mortales de San Juan de Dios reposan en una urna de plata que fue labrada en 1767 por el orfebre jiennense Miguel de Guzmán. Ésta se confeccionó con la plata de otra anterior enviada desde México en 1730, que nunca gustó al general de la orden fray Alonso de Jesús y Ortega. En este trabajo aportamos noticias inéditas sobre el envío de esta urna y de otros regalos de plata labrada y joyas remitidos a la basílica de San Juan de Dios de Granada, en el siglo XVIII, por los padres sanjuanistas de los hospitales del Nuevo Mundo.
'Sancti Christi Martyris Justini' en la Puebla de los Ángeles. La donación y el hallazgo de un mártir de Roma para la Nueva España
Authors: Báez Hernández Montserrat Andrea
Published: November 2024

Este artículo explora el caso de san Justino mártir, cuyas reliquias fueron recientemente descubiertas en la iglesia conventual de San Jerónimo en la ciudad de Puebla de los Ángeles, México. Este hallazgo representa un importante testimonio de la presencia de reliquias de catacumba o corpisanti en Puebla durante el siglo XVIII. El análisis de la authentica de la reliquia en conjunto con el material documental del Archivo Histórico del Vicariato de Roma permite reconstruir el contexto de su concesión a la luz de las conexiones entre Roma y la Nueva España durante el siglo XVIII, a través de las donaciones efectuadas por Giovanni Antonio Guadagni (1674–1759), vicario general de Roma durante el gobierno de los papas Clemente XII (1730–1740) y Benedicto XIV (1740–1758).
Tesoros del cielo: el relicario de la catedral de Orihuela
Authors: Cecilia Espinosa Mariano , Ruiz Ángel Gemma
Published: November 2024

En este artículo se expone una visión de conjunto de la importancia del relicario de la Catedral de Orihuela, tanto desde el punto de vista artístico como de su relevancia como testimonio de las creencias en torno a las reliquias sagradas durante la Edad Media y la Moderna en el orbe católico y, en este caso particular, de la Iglesia de Orihuela. Los relicarios conservados muestran la configuración inicial del aparato devocional y ceremonial en la Catedral como nueva sede episcopal en el Renacimiento, las advocaciones que se escogieron, muchas de ellas con la intención de prestigiar el templo, otras vinculadas a la identidad aragonesa de Orihuela. Así lo demuestran la existencia de reliquias como las astillas de la cruz donde fue crucificado Cristo, la de san Pedro, el cráneo del papa san Antero o del primer mártir de la iglesia, san Esteban, testimonios del papel que desempañaba la catedral como centro espiritual de la nueva diócesis creada en 1564, y, significativamente, de su labor contrarreformista. Todas ellas se engarzaron en piezas de orfebrería de gran valor, principalmente bustos relicarios, que muestran el alto nivel alcanzado por los plateros y orfebres establecidos en el entorno oriolano, principalmente el taller de Miguel de Vera y Hércules Gargano.
Los mártires de Tepehuanes de la Nueva España. Circulación de reliquias e imágenes en la construcción de una santidad fracasada, 1616-1668
Authors: Briones Posada Julián Alonso
Published: November 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es presentar y reconstruir la devoción y promoción a la santidad que tuvieron los mártires jesuitas de las misiones de Tepehuanes en los albores del siglo XVII en la Nueva España, desde la redacción de informaciones, la creación de dibujos y pinturas, y especialmente por la veneración de sus reliquias y los milagros alcanzados por quienes las poseían. A través del análisis de testimonios e imágenes se demuestra su invención y devoción no solo como ejemplos del triunfo de las acciones misioneras en el Nuevo Mundo, sino también como la posibilidad de ser declarados mártires, prueba patente de la madurez espiritual de las tierras conquistadas a partir de un nuevo arquetipo martirial. El entorno marginal de la Nueva España —las inestables fronteras de misión y avance— fue de gran importancia en la dinámica espiritual de su tiempo, por el afán de sus habitantes cristianos para participar en la creación de nuevas devociones y objetos de culto que replicaran la experiencia europea a través de las reliquias.

Units Coordination in Composing and Decomposing Whole-Number Composite Units
Authors: Simon Martin A.
Published: November 2024

Students’ ability to operate with increasingly more complex units has been shown to be a key factor in their conceptual development. These abilities have been characterized as stages of units coordination. This article focuses on the domain of composing and decomposing composite units. Using data from a teaching experiment with a third-grade student, I distinguish among instances of her reasoning to postulate three levels of units coordination in this domain as well as developmental steps within each level: the ability to compose composite units but not decompose them; the ability to decompose composite units into single units; and the ability to decompose composite units into smaller composite units.
