Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Tanzania: Prevalence, Determinants, and Correlation with Triglycerides-Glucose Index in Overweight and Obese Individuals
Authors: Kilonzo Semvua B. , Kamala Eliud , Jaka Hyasinta , Ngoya Patrick
Published: March 2023

Background
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is closely associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), is rarely reported in Tanzania, where MetS is prevalent. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent and associated factors of this condition in overweight and obese individuals and to correlate standard ultrasound diagnosis with triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI).
Methods
A cross-sectional analysis was performed in 181 adult outpatients attending a general medical clinic. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected and analyzed using STATA 13. The presence of fatty liver was detected by ultrasound. The discriminatory power of TyG and TyG-BMI for diagnosing NAFLD was evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve analysis and the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) was reported.
Results
The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 30.4%. The prevalence’s of NAFLD in patients with hypertriglycemia, class III obesity, class II obesity, and diabetes were 59.6%, 50%, 38%, and 37.5%, respectively. One third of patients with NAFLD had significant steatosis (stages 2 and 3). NAFLD was strongly predicted by hyperuricemia (≥ 360 µmol/L) (p = 0.04) and TyG ≥ 8.99 (p = 0.003). The best cut-off values of TyG and TyG-BMI to predict NAFLD were 8.99 [AUC 0.735; sensitivity 70.9%, specificity 79.3%] and 312 [AUC 0.711; sensitivity 60% and specificity 75.4%] respectively.
Conclusions
The prevalence of NAFLD is high among people with metabolic disorders in Tanzania, with a significant proportion of asymptomatic participants having an advanced disease. Simple screening tools such as TyG and TyG-BMI can be used to detect these cases early.
L'impossible séparation du droit pénal sexuel et de la morale ? La pornographie et le travail du sexe à l'épreuve de nouveaux discours prohibitionnistes
Authors: Montavon Camille
Published: March 2023

En 1992, la révision du chapitre 5 du Code pénal suisse - autrefois intitulé infractions contre les mœurs et renommé infractions contre l'intégrité sexuelle - marque la renonciation à la morale comme justification de la répression de comportements sexuels. Or, au-delà du fait que certains articles du droit pénal sexuel portent encore les stigmates du droit pénal des mœurs, les comportements qu'ils visent n'ont surtout de cesse fait l'objet de discours prohibitionnistes. Prenant pour exemples la pornographie (art. 197 CP) et la prostitution (art. 199 CP), cette contribution montre que la morale, sans disparaître des discours destinés à légitimer l'encadrement pénal de certaines expressions de la sexualité, s'est progressivement éclipsée au profit de la dignité humaine et de la protection des femmes. De nouveaux discours prohibitionnistes qui pourraient toutefois se révéler être des moyens d'imposer, en des termes moins connotés, une certaine morale sexuelle, en ce qu'ils méconnaissent la logique conséquentialiste et consensualiste censée guider la restriction de la liberté sexuelle par le droit pénal (s'agissant des actes entre adultes).

--

Mit der Revision des fünften Titels des Schweizerischen Strafgesetzbuches im Jahr 1992 - früher «Strafbare Handlungen gegen die Sittlichkeit» und heute «Strafbare Handlungen gegen die sexuelle Integrität» - wurde die Moral als Rechtfertigung für die Unterdrückung sexueller Handlungen abgeschafft. Abgesehen davon, dass einige Artikel des Sexualstrafrechts noch immer das Stigma des Sittenstrafrechts tragen, sind die unter Strafe gestellten Tatbestände Gegenstand ständiger Prohibitionsdiskurse gewesen. Anhand der Beispiele Pornografie (Art. 197 StGB) und Prostitution (Art. 199 StGB) zeigt dieser Beitrag, dass die Moral zwar nicht aus dem Diskurs zur Legitimation der strafrechtlichen Erfassung bestimmter Ausdrucksformen der Sexualität verschwunden ist, aber allmählich zugunsten der Menschenwürde und des Schutzes von Frauen in den Hintergrund getreten ist. Neue Prohibitionsdiskurse könnten sich jedoch als Mittel erweisen, um in weniger konnotierten Begriffen eine gewisse Sexualmoral durchzusetzen, da sie die konsequente und konsensuale Logik verkennen, die die Einschränkung der sexuellen Freiheit durch das Strafrecht (in Bezug auf Handlungen zwischen Erwachsenen) bestimmen soll.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the effect of uterine leiomyoma characteristics and cesarean myomectomy on maternal and perinatal outcomes.
STUDY DESIGN: The study included patients with singleton pregnancies and uterine leiomyomas who had delivered at or beyond 24 weeks' gestation; without comorbidities, uterine anomalies, or fetal malformations. Data from 240 patients were studied between 2012 and 2022 in the perinatology clinic of a tertiary care center. Maternal and perinatal outcomes were obtained from medical records.
RESULTS: Among the women with uterine leiomyomas, 21.7% were delivered vaginally and 78.3% via cesarean section. Myomectomy was performed in 150 out of 188 (79.8%) patients undergoing cesarean section. It was found that cases with leiomyomas ≥7 cm, compared to those with <4cm, had deliveries at earlier gestational weeks (36w6/7±2d vs. 37w+6/7±2d, p=0.018) and had lower newborn birthweight (2849.44±516.74 g vs. 3237.5±350.6 g, p<0.001), longer operation time (105.92±34.78 min vs. 68.21± 22.31 min, p<0.001) and a higher rate of neonatal intensive care unit requirement (48.1% vs. 13.7%, p<0.001). In cases with ≥2 leiomyomas compared to those with single leiomyomas, gestational age at birth was smaller and birthweight was lower (p<0.05). The amount of blood loss (969.66±427.21 mL vs. 738.15±337.2 mL and 553.84±366.46 mL), duration of surgery (83.23±29.56 min vs. 64.47±17.96 min) and transfusion requirements (36% vs. 5.3% and 28.8%) were higher in women who underwent myomectomy during cesarean section than in the other women undergoing only cesarean section or delivering vaginally (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: It was found that a leiomyoma size of ≥7 cm and number of ≥2 were both associated with earlier gestational age at birth and lower birth weight. Myomectomy performed during cesarean section increased the blood loss, duration of surgery, and the need for transfusion.

Problematizamos o papel do Estado como provedor de ações públicas para a garantia da permanência de estudantes nas redes públicas de ensino do Pará, considerando a qualidade social em oposição à qualidade de avaliações fomentadas pelo Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica (IDEB). Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, dada a interlocução da realidade vivida por trabalhadores e o contexto educacional, consistindo em estudo bibliográfico, a partir de Brito, Oliveira e Silva (2021), versando sobre a formação de trabalhadores e suas interfaces com o Estado; Araújo (2020), Rodrigues (2007) e Dourado (2020), tratando de políticas públicas, normatização e gestão da educação. Os resultados apontam que os condicionantes avaliativos, decorrentes do IDEB, para mensurar a qualidade da educação básica, não dão conta de entender a dinâmica dos processos formativos de trabalhadores na Amazônia paraense, tampouco se configuram em indicadores para políticas públicas em prol da efetiva qualidade da formação desses sujeitos.

UNSTRUCTURED

The current health status of the general public can substantially benefit from a healthy diet. Using a personalized approach to initiate healthy dietary behavior seems to be a promising strategy, as individuals differ in terms of health status, subsequent dietary needs, and their desired behavior change support. However, providing personalized advice to a wide audience over a long period is very labor-intensive. This bottleneck can possibly be overcome by digitalizing the process of creating and providing personalized advice. An increasing number of personalized advice systems for different purposes is becoming available in the market, ranging from systems providing advice about just a single parameter to very complex systems that include many variables characterizing each individual situation. Scientific background is often lacking in these systems. In designing a personalized nutrition advice system, many design questions need to be answered, ranging from the required input parameters and accurate measurement methods (sense), type of modeling techniques to be used (reason), and modality in which the personalized advice is provided (act). We have addressed these topics in this viewpoint paper, and we have demonstrated the feasibility of setting up an infrastructure for providing personalized dietary advice based on the experience of 2 practical applications in a real-life setting.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Little information is known about the public’s attitude change towards the multiple shots of COVID-19 vaccines.

OBJECTIVE

we aimed to comprehensively understand public’s attitude and behavior changes towards multiple shots of COVID-19 vaccines.

METHODS

Participants’ attitude and behavior towards each shot of COVID-19 vaccines were investigated, and a scale of vaccination burnout was designed to assess participants' attitude change.

RESULTS

Of 3068 valid participants, 2991 participants had finished the routine two shots of COVID-19 vaccine. Among them, 79.14% participants had positive attitudes towards the routine two shots. However, 9.8% participants who previously had positive attitudes towards the basic vaccination had refused to take additional multiple shots, and another 3.5% participants who also changed their attitudes though having taken the third shot. These participants had higher scores of vaccination burnout than people with consistently positive vaccine attitudes(P<.001). Frequency of active attention to COVID-19 news, occupation, monthly income, and residence of the participants were the main factors associated with the vaccination burnout.

CONCLUSIONS

A phenomenon of vaccination burnout towards multiple shots was comprehensively reported. We suggest to take measures to ensure the acceptance and coverage of the subsequent multiple shots of COVID-19 vaccines.

Published: March 2023

Abstract: Weather forecasting is one of the many widely used applications of artificial intelligence. Forecasting precipitation is one of the most popular research topics because it results in a great deal of property damage and numerous fatalities. Large-scale flooding can have an impact on a variety of social and practical spheres, including agriculture and disaster preparedness. Even with the most advanced mathematical techniques, older, widely used precipitation prediction models were unable to achieve higher classification rates. This article introduces a cutting-edge new technique for forecasting monthly precipitation that makes use of linear regression analysis. Using quantitative data about the state of the atmosphere, forecast when it will rain. Complex information can be recognized by some machine learning systems. a mapping that joins inputs and outputs with a small number of samples. Because of how quickly the atmosphere may change, it is challenging to anticipate precipitation with absolute confidence. The variation in conditions from the previous year should be used to forecast the likelihood of precipitation. For several factors like temperature, humidity, and wind, I advise utilizing linear regression. Given that the suggested model frequently estimates precipitation based on historical data for a specific geographic area, this forecast should be more accurate. Comparing the model's performance to wellknown methods for precipitation prediction, it performs more accurately.

Published: March 2023

Nepal is extremely susceptible to outside influence because of its geostrategic position. Being a small, landlocked nation crammed between China and India, two of the most powerful nations in Asia. Nepal is always the target of regional aspirations and conflicts. In order to protect its independence and national security, Nepal's foreign policy has focused on the difficult challenge of maintaining good relations with all parties. The paper discusses about the consequences of growing Nepalese affinity towards China on the long-time friend and neighbor state India from mid-20th century till today. Due to Nepal's difficult democratic transition, frail institutional foundation, and unfavorable civil-military relations, China seems to have several possibilities to develop significant influence inside the country's political and administrative system. Furthermore, the relationship between Kathmandu and New Delhi is severely impacted by Nepal-China collaboration, particularly in the areas of security and defence. In conclusion, China's increasing involvement in Nepal has significant security repercussions for New Delhi since it signals an entrance into the country's sphere of influence. The paper attempts to categorically analyze these developments, firstly the paper discusses the geopolitical relevance of Nepal between India and China, further it elaborates on the historical links and the political and diplomatic engagements between these states. It also discusses the change in dynamics between the cold war period and post-cold war period. In conclusion, the paper aims to discuss the contemporary policy changes and challenges for New Delhi. The paper concludes with an understanding that balancing is the most viable option that is present for the states involved.

Escalas de valoración biomecánica para análisis de extremidades superiores en recolectores de frutos (palma de aceite - Meta)
Authors: Ramírez Alderete María Alejandra , Bobadilla Rincón Bleidys Andrea
Published: March 2023

El diseño de los puestos de trabajo debe ser pensado desde las condiciones antropométricas de los trabajadores. La estructura del cuerpo humano es una característica de vital importancia a tener en cuenta por los diseñadores. El ser humano es un organismo altamente variable en cuanto a sus características físicas. En la variación de la estructura antropométrica de las personas influyen factores como: herencia genética, sexo, edad y las condiciones socioeconómicas, que dan como resultado diferencias notables en cuanto a tamaño, proporción y características físicas. De aquí la importancia de conocer la población estudio para garantizar resultados confiables en una valoración ergonómica. El objetivo de esta investigación se sintetiza en el análisis de los métodos existentes para la valoración de los riesgos laborales y la relación con el comportamiento biomecánico de los miembros superiores para que se logre el planteamiento estructural de escalas acorde con los límites mínimos y máximos estandarizados, donde se identifica cuándo el desarrollo de una actividad no genera lesión para el trabajador. Para plantear escalas que evalúen movimientos y posturas en miembros superiores, permitiendo a las organizaciones implementar estrategias que conlleven al aumento del bienestar de los trabajadores, de la misma forma que permite mejorar el desempeño laboral teniendo en cuenta las dimensiones antropométricas del personal en el diseño de los puestos de trabajo.

Authors: Quesada Bonilla Iván Giovanni , Moncayo Gutiérrez Carlos Andrés , Rodríguez Parra Mateo
Published: March 2023

El ambiente que nos rodea y en particular los sonidos, olores y colores, generan sensaciones y reacciones en los seres humanos. Estos estímulos pueden repercutir de forma positiva o negativa en el comportamiento cerebral de las personas. La creatividad al ser un estado mental y emocional teóricamente puede depender de todo estímulo externo, influyendo las habilidades creativas. Objetivo: establecer la influencia de una estrategia cromática definida por una gama de colores cálidos aplicada a través de la herramienta tecnológica sensorial de Realidad Virtual Cardboard, en el desarrollo de las habilidades creativas de estudiantes de Fisioterapia de la Universidad Autónoma de Manizales. Metodología: enfoque cuantitativo y cuasiexperimental, utilizando la herramienta de recolección de información Test de Creatividad fundado en Torrance (1972) y Guilford (1973). Resultados: se evidenció una diferencia significativa entre las medias de los estudiantes mediados y no mediados con la estrategia cromática. Conclusiones: la mediación de la estrategia cromática aplicada con la herramienta de realidad virtual Cardboard influye en el desarrollo de las habilidades creativas de los estudiantes que hicieron parte del proceso experimental. La investigación concluye resultados satisfactorios y aportantes para procesos de educación y cualquier ambiente organizacional que potencien la creatividad y para futuras investigaciones que quieran, a partir de los hallazgos de ésta, continuar abordando la influencia colorista en las habilidades creativas de los seres humanos.
Mejoramiento al sistema de recolección de residuos sólidos de Villavicencio mediante un modelo de transporte (comunas 2, 3, 6 y 8)
Authors: Patiño Ardila David Mauricio , Valderrama Gutiérrez Marly Fernanda
Published: March 2023

Este capítulo describe la formulación de un modelo VRP para la recolección de basuras en las comunas 2, 3, 6 y 8 de la ciudad de Villavicencio producto de una iniciativa por un plan de mejora de la empresa prestadora del servicio Bioagrícola del Llano SAS. Bajo el sistema tradicional de recolección por aceras se evidencian inconvenientes como los altos costos operacionales implícitos al recorrer largas distancias (consumo de combustible, depreciación del vehículo, entre otros), y la contratación de mano obra. Además, inconvenientes ambientales al disponer de las basuras de esta forma debido a la formación de plagas y posible contagio de enfermedades. El proyecto cuenta con tres fases para su desarrollo, iniciando con la identificación de las variables de mayor relevancia en el planteamiento y ejecución del modelo a través de una revisión bibliográfica previa, luego se continúa con el desarrollo de un modelo de transporte estático de recolección de contenedores para la minimización de los costos teniendo en cuenta las restricciones y requerimientos de la empresa y los usuarios. Finalmente se realiza una contrastación del modelo actual de recolección por aceras y el modelo propuesto por contenedores comprobando las mejoras en la eficiencia operativa del proceso de recolección y disposición de residuos en la ciudad.
Estandarización del diseño de las cocinas en vivienda de interés social
Authors: Herrera Montoya Pablo Andrés
Published: March 2023

Este proyecto está enfocado en el diseño de un prototipo de cocina ideal para las viviendas de interés social, basado en las necesidades de los usuarios y enfocado a remediar las carencias de espacio, organización y distribución de las áreas de estas cocinas, las cuales son suplidas con astucias y soluciones improvisadas que no brindan condiciones técnicas y ergonómicas, para la optimización del espacio, usualmente reducido y característico de las viviendas de interés social. Para comenzar, se plantea la concepción y definición de las viviendas de interés social o prioritario, exponiendo su infraestructura, espacio y aspectos distributivos o locativos que las definen, para de esta forma mostrar las necesidades reales de sus usuarios o propietarios. Luego se exponen los criterios de diseño aplicados, las normas básicas concernientes al diseño de cocinas, la disposición de espacios y utilización del software, para de esta forma proponer un diseño aplicable y totalmente prác-tico para que sea adoptado dentro del paquete básico que una vivienda de interés social brinda a los usuarios finales. Finalmente, se describe el proceso de estandarización y se plantean técnicas para que el diseño propuesto tenga éxito en su producción e instalación. Se realizará una estandarización de procesos que garantice la viabilidad, reducción de costos y calidad del diseño de cocina propuesto para las viviendas de interés social o prioritario.

Published: March 2023

El estudio presentado en este capítulo consistió en analizar experiencias turísticas en regiones similares a San Marcos, Sucre, y así identificar la forma como se ha estructurado la cadena de valor del turismo y cuáles fueron los logros recuperados. El objetivo es aprender de ellas y poder aplicarlas de la mejor manera dentro de la región. También se estudiaron casos donde los efectos han sido negativos y de esta forma resaltar lo importante que es crear conciencia de conservación y adoptar medidas preventivas con el fin de evitar las acciones que generen impactos negativos en el ecosistema de este municipio y así se puedan conocer los beneficios asociados a este importante sector de la economía, el cual puede ayudar a plantear alternativas que ayuden a impulsar el desarrollo sostenible en la región y a prevenir desaciertos que vayan en contra del desarrollo de los habitantes y de la conservación del medio ambiente. El municipio cuenta con una cantidad de recursos naturales muy importantes, pero tiene grandes problemas ambientales debido al mal uso de estos, consecuencia de la falta de oportunidades que generen impactos positivos, como el ayudar a su conservación u otra alternativa de explotación que no sea la mera extracción de recursos. Con los resultados recuperados del estudio se quiere establecer una alternativa de solución viable al gran problema que presenta el municipio de San Marcos, Sucre, el cual se centra en las pocas fuentes de empleo y poca asertividad de los gobiernos locales para crear alternativas de desarrollo, creación de empresas y generación de empleos. San Marcos cuenta con los elementos necesarios para adelantar un proyecto turístico potencialmente importante dentro de la región, capaz de direccionar e integrar los demás sectores económicos y lograr así un beneficio incluyente y sostenible dentro de la región.
El liderazgo aplicado en el método de planificación institucional de la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia para el desarrollo organizacional
Authors: Urrego Cubillos Leonardo Andrés , Plazas Castillo Laura Daniela , Portilla Erazo Ángela Milena
Published: March 2023

El liderazgo es un aspecto fundamental para llegar a los mejores resultados en una organización. Por tanto, se pretende demostrar que la aplicación del mismo en un proceso de planificación puede llevar a una institución de alta complejidad, por su carácter nacional e internacional, como la Universidad Nacional Abierta y a Distancia, a ser una mega universidad, líder en la modalidad abierta y a distancia, a ser un referente en el sector educativo, la cual lleva educación de calidad, a través de la innovación y desarrollo tecnológico, a las regiones más apartadas del país, disminuyendo así la inequidad regional tan marcada en Colombia. En el presente capítulo se describe el proceso de planificación y las acciones estratégicas que realiza la UNAD para conseguir los mejores resultados. Cada proceso garantiza la participación activa de toda la comunidad universitaria, con miras a construir un proyecto institucional que haga parte del plan de vida de cada uno de los actores que la integran. Es así como la implementación del método de análisis de problemas MAP, el cual aborda la complejidad desde un modelo explicativo de análisis multicausal, no lineal, del significado y sentido que los problemas tienen para los diversos actores y de las oportunidades que conllevan, la materialización en objetivos, metas, indica-dores y productos que cada líder de OP (operación) diseña y ejecuta.

Published: March 2023

Esta obra invita a una amplia reflexión sobre la problemática actual de la educación en Colombia y en el mundo, insistiendo en la importancia del desarrollo del pensamiento crítico como una competencia transversal para el logro de los grandes objetivos de desarrollo consignados en la agenda internacional, lo cual supone, necesariamente, transformaciones que deben ser impulsadas desde el ámbito educativo para que puedan permear al individuo, las instituciones, las prácticas sociales y la sociedad en general. Una de las preocupaciones que se aborda en el libro tiene que ver con el deterioro de las condiciones mínimas para una sana convivencia debido a la conflictividad que se experimenta en los diferentes contextos en Colombia, que van de lo familiar, a lo escolar y social. Lo que expresa un problema estructural que remite a la necesidad de repensar la educación desde premisas y paradigmas disruptivos, que logren aportar una orientación significativa a la práctica pedagógica. Lo cual consideramos es posible en el marco de una educación filosófica, en la que se encauce el hombre como un fin en sí mismo y no como un medio para el logro de intereses por fuera de las necesidades y potencialidades que reviste su propia naturaleza. Palabras clave: pensamiento crítico, pensamiento creativo, pensamiento cuidadoso, aprendizaje, enseñanza, formación, paz, ambiente escolar, comunidades de indagación, rendimiento académico, estrategia, metodología, resolución de conflictos, pedagogico, didacta
Percepción sensorial en la organización hospitalaria
Authors: Robles-Ramos Víctor Adrián , Robles-Francia Víctor Hugo , Robles-Ramos Ana Victoria
Published: March 2023

El ser humano percibe e interactúa en el mundo hospitalario a través de sus sentidos, mediante la vista, el oído y, en menor medida, por el olfato, el tacto y el gusto, en los que la labor configura sensorialmente el cuerpo del trabajador. El objetivo de la investigación es mostrar la interacción sensible del personal del mundo hospitalario y la conformación laboral de los sentidos del trabajador. Se empleó la etnografía encubierta, el diario de campo y la entrevista. Se realizaron cuatro entrevistas con personal de intendencia y una con personal administrativo de apoyo. Las cuatro entrevistas mostraron una afectación por el mundo hospitalario y una configuración sensorial del personal. El establecimiento social del hospital delineó sensorialmente el cuerpo de su personal, donde los cuerpos interactuantes se adaptan al espacio, que es influenciado por el estado afectivo, haciéndose más grande o reduciéndose en función de este estado.
