Student independence is one of the important indicators in character development and learning ability. However, many students still rely on conventional teaching and are less able to manage the learning process independently. The main problem that needs to be studied is how the application of experiential learning principles can help students develop an independent attitude in learning. This study aims to examine the implementation of experimental learning in improving student independence. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study to analyze the concept of experiential learning and student independence based on previous research findings in the context of education. The results of the study show that this approach encourages students to develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and the ability to make decisions independently. In addition, experimental learning also plays a role in increasing students' self-confidence and responsibility for their learning process. It is hoped that the results of this study can be a reference for educators in designing more effective learning to improve student independence.

Abstract
For ages, a widespread method of human remains disposal has been done using traditional coffins. These coffins crafted from wood and metals, are buried approximately six feet underground within concrete plots. Research indicates that during decomposition, the harmful greenhouse gases such as methane, as well as hazardous metals and pathogens, can seep from the remains, causing considerable environmental harm. Consequently, there is's a mounting call to move away from these traditional burial practices toward greener alternatives like biodegradable mushroom coffins, organic capsules, capsula mundi, and microbial composting. These processes could be employed as next generation method to reduce carbon footprints. In the present article authors have presented a very topical issue that is difficult to solve and underestimated in countries with large population density like China, India, Brazil, etc. during the situation of epidemics and pandemics like Covid COVID-19-19. The Aauthors have endeavored to encompass all the essential information regarding eco-friendly approaches for disposing animal carcasses, and converting barren graveyards into green fields using organic agricultural practices. Generating multifaceted bioformulations with both biofertilizer + and biopesticidal properties from the remains of animal carcasses could serve as a natural way to increase crop production in barren graveyards, thereby addressing the issue of space constraints in a sustainable manner by 2050.

Authors: Kamlekar Dr , Yadav dr , Singh dr , Pichholiya dr , Rathore dr , Gupta dr
Published: January 2025

Background: Pharmaceutical companies employ various advertising strategies to promote their drugs through promotional materials. However, the information presented may lack the necessary details to maintain the consistency of Drug Promotional Literature (DPL) because it does not adhere to the promotional guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO), which can result in inappropriate prescription.
Aims and objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy and rationality of Drug Promotional Literature (DPL) by following WHO-Ethical criteria, 1988 norms.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out for ten months, from June 2023 to April 2024 in various outpatient departments at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Rajasthan, India.
Results: A total of 135 DPLs were gathered and evaluated among them 9.62% DPLs were fulfilling the WHO guideline criteria. The remaining DPLs quote brand name 100%, generic/INN name 94.81%, dosage form 92.59%, active ingredient 82.96%, and therapeutic use 85.93%. The modest reported findings which include references 58.52%, side effects 41.48%, precautions and warnings 33.33%, and drug-drug interactions 23.70%. The references cited 25.19% were from journals, websites 20.74% followed by 7.41% data base and books 5.19%. The 75.56% claims were about efficacy, 56.30% for safety, and convenience 64.44% followed by cost 31.11% and pharmacokinetic property 25.93% was quoted.
Conclusion: In our research, we find that most drug promotional materials fail to uphold competence, excellence, and uniformity in their advertisements. The pharmaceutical companies did not adhere fully to the WHO ethical guidelines when promoting a drug. Continuous awareness and training initiatives at the institutional level during medical education will enhance clinicians' ability to evaluate and compose accurate, rational, and cost-effective medication choices.

Taming amyloid oligomers
Authors:   , Stroganova Iuliia
Published: January 2025

Neurodegenerative diseases (ND), like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are age-related and are among the leading causes of death in the aging population. Although some medications alleviate symptoms, there is no cure. A common feature of ND is the presence of insoluble protein deposits found in the tissues of patients. The transition of proteins from a soluble and functional state to the formation of insoluble deposits, such as amyloid plaques composed of amyloid fibrils, is known as protein aggregation or self-assembly. ND-related proteins have aggregation cores, short peptide segments critical for aggregation, that can form amyloid fibrils and serve as model systems for method development. The peptide segments representing the aggregation cores of Aβ and tau proteins are the primary focus of this thesis. It describes the development and hyphenation of various analytical techniques, including infrared action spectroscopy, ion mobility mass spectrometry, and droplet-based microfluidics, for the study of the early stages of peptide aggregation. Chapter 1 reviews these techniques historically. Chapter 2 describes their principles, derived data, and limitations for peptide aggregation studies. Chapter 3 examines the structural properties of monomers and dimers of peptides with aromatic phenylalanine groups that form functional nanostructures using IR action spectroscopy. Chapter 4 focuses on the method development for improved peak assignment in ion mobility spectra of peptide segments within the aggregation core of tau protein. In Chapter 5, this ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) approach is used to study the structure and kinetics of tau peptide oligomers. By combining kinetic and structural data on amyloid fibrils obtained by bulk methods with insights into the properties of oligomers derived from IM-MS, a comprehensive understanding of the aggregation process can be achieved. Chapter 6 optimizes microfluidics and IM-MS for the study of peptide aggregation in droplets, addressing challenges, such as contaminant interference. Strategies to mitigate such problems are discussed. Finally, Chapter 7 summarizes the results and suggests future research directions.
The effects of natural resources and non-renewable energy on economic recovery: empirical data from a few developing nations

Published: January 2025

Panel data examines the effects of renewable and natural resource usage on Green economic recovery in the top 10 nations adopting non-renewable energy from 1975 to 2018. Misunderstandings of sustainable energy legis¬lation are often a result of structural breakout that go unnoticed. Fourier-based approaches are used to examine the nexus of non-renewable energy and natural resources on green economic recovery in selected countries. Economic recovery in eight of the ten nations depends on natural resource development, whereas sustainable energy contributes to economic recovery in Germany, Denmark, and France over the long term. Italy, Malta, the UK, and Greece are examples of countries where the energy-led growth theory holds. Even though Italy’s economy relies on non-renewable energy, the preservation theory holds for both power parameters in Germany and sustainable power in China. While non-renewable energy is not as powerful as exhaustible power, the total findings demonstrate that natural resource development has the potential to be a significant driver of green economic recovery. Policies to combat energy ineffectiveness should thus check an overworked world-ecology, reduce urban oddities, and encourage ecological learning for a better atmosphere.
POBREZA E PUNITIVISMO: QUESTIONAMENTOS SOBRE A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO DOS MISERÁVEIS
Authors: Carmona Deise Cariani
Published: January 2025

O presente artigo busca demonstrar que a cultura punitivista é influenciada pela fobia social aos vulneráveis, especialmente os mais pobres, e que se mostra enraizada no Brasil com consequências graves no âmbito do direito penal e processual penal.  A violência e a criminalidade crescentes no país despertam na sociedade intranquilidade e temor. Nesse quadro, a manipulação midiática e os discursos políticos demagogos e totalitários contribuem fortemente para gerar nos indivíduos um falso sentimento de que leis penais e procedimentos processuais mais severos são a solução para tais questões, ainda que em prejuízo de direitos e garantias fundamentais. A sociedade manifesta uma ideologia punitivista sem perceber que a violência policial, o endurecimento de leis e o encarceramento em massa não alcançam, em regra, as classes dominantes e mais abastadas, mas se dirigem predominantemente às pessoas mais vulneráveis da sociedade: os negros, homossexuais, refugiados, imigrantes e a todas aquelas minorias que, todavia e antes de tudo, possuem um traço comum: a pobreza. Nesse contexto, o miserável ou o pobre é o “outro” que compõe um perfil de risco e gera incômodo social, despertando verdadeira repulsa que se traduz na sanha punitiva e em objetivos de expulsão e segregação de tais indivíduos indesejados. Mediante revisão bibliográfica em literatura internacional e nacional, bem como pela análise de dados e estatísticas, explicitam-se as (rel)ações entre essa realidade e a teoria do Direito, que encontra no Direito Penal, no Processo Penal e na Criminologia importantes ferramentas.

History of Japanese Studies in Novosibirsk in the 2nd half of the 20th century
Authors: Datsyshen V. G.
Published: January 2025

This article focuses on the problems of the formation and development of Japanese studies in Novosibirsk in the 2nd half of the 20th century. The paper shows the prerequisites for the emergence of Japanese studies education and the introduction of a Japanese language course at Novosibirsk State University. The emergence of Japanese studies in Novosibirsk was due to the development of Soviet-Japanese cooperation in the 1960s, the formation of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences, and the development of Oriental linguistics at Novosibirsk State University. Special attention is paid to the contribution to the formation and development of Novosibirsk Japanese studies by Olga Pavlovna Frolova, who became the first and, until the end of the Soviet period, remained the only professional Japanese studies scholar in Novosibirsk. The first scientific article on Japanese linguistics in Novosibirsk was published in 1970; in 1971, the teaching of the Japanese language for students of the humanities at the NSU was introduced. Since the late 1980s, Novosibirsk Japanese studies have gone beyond the boundaries of the NSU, as students at various universities and secondary schools began to study Japanese. In 1995, a department of Oriental studies with a specialization in Japanese was opened at the Faculty of Humanities, and, in 1999, the Department of Oriental Studies was established at NSU. In Novosibirsk, along with Japanese linguistics, the study of archeology, literature, art, and traditional culture of Japan has been developed. At the beginning of the 21st century, many students of Oriental studies from Novosibirsk became leading Russian Japanese studies scholars.
The Influence of Robert A. Bloch’s Micro Fiction on Short-Short Fantasy and Psychological Horror by Contemporary Japanese Writers: An Attempt of Comparative Analysis
Authors: Khronopulo L. Yu.
Published: January 2025

Among the short-short stories by American authors translated by Japanese writer Tsuzuki Michio in the late 1950s — early 1960s, there were also extrashort stories by Robert Albert Bloch (1917–1994): detective stories, fantasy, psychological horror. Japanese writers known by their experiments in the genres of extra-short mystic and detective stories, as well as in the genre of psychological horror, note that their creative activity was partly influenced by Robert A. Bloch: these are Atōda Takashi (b. 1935), Akagawa Jirō (b.1948), and Tamaru Masatomo (b. 1987). Some allusions can also be seen in contemporary short-shorts by less famous Japanese writers, for example, Aoyama Shōji (b. 1975). This paper examines the topics, ideas, artistic devices, and psychologism of the Japanese micro fantasy and horror fiction, as well as its metaphorical meanings and the system of images. Allusions to Robert A. Bloch’s micro fiction in the shōto shōto stories by contemporary Japanese authors are analyzed from a comparative perspective. Literary parallels to Robert A. Bloch’s micro fiction can be found in the Tamaru Masatomo’s collection of short-short stories One Thousand Nights (Sen’ya ichiya) published in 2016; in Akagawa Jirō’s collections of short-short stories The Walk (Sampomichi, 2002), The Dancing Man (Odoru otoko, 1986), and The Talkative Woman (Katte-ni shaberu onna, 1986); in Atōda Takashi’s collections of short-short stories The Strange Day (Kimyōna hirusagari, 1996), The Eaten Man (Taberareta otoko, 2008) and The Cat Case (Neko-no jiken, 2010). The influence of Robert A. Bloch’s micro fiction can also be traced in one of Aoyama Shōji’s short-shorts from the collection of stories The Square of Shōto Shōto-1 (Shōto shōto-no hiroba-1, 2007). Following Robert A. Bloch’s methods and techniques, the Japanese writers in their short-short stories demonstrate symbolism, allegory, and black humor, as well as probing into certain social problems and human nature. For the first time, Japanese shōto shōto stories and Robert A. Bloch’s micro fiction are investigated from a comparative perspective.

Continental Policy of Japan as Seen From France: Indochina Crisis of 1940 and Politicians of the Vichy Regime (Part Two)
Authors: Molodiakov V. E.
Published: January 2025

The present work, consisting of two parts, deals with the little-studied aspects of the Indochina crisis of 1940 in Japanese–French relations – Japan’s claims to control and military presence in French Indochina in the summer and autumn of 1940. During the previous years, ensuring the security and stability of Indochina was at the heart of French policy towards Japan, which was necessarily characterized by a willingness to compromise.

The military defeat of France in June 1940 changed its international status: weakened, but not deprived of the colonies and the Navy. The new authoritarian regime of the French state (the Vichy regime) decided to make concessions to Japan in Indochina, given the inequality of forces in the region and the lack of any outside help.

The second part of the work begins with the principled decision of the French government to make concessions to the demands of Japan, whose expansionist policy acquired a new scope after the formation of the second cabinet of Konoe Fumimaro, and ends with the entry of Japanese troops into Indochina during September 1940.

The author examines the process of the policy of the Vichy regime developing in this direction and the actions of its leaders and main executives: Head of State Marshal Philippe Petain, Foreign Minister Paul Baudouin, Ministers of the Colonies Henry Lémery and Charles Platon, Governor-General of Indochina Jean Decoux. The emphasis is on “politicians,” not on “politics.” The work is based on diaries, memoirs, and other testimonies of the actors, insufficiently studied in Russian Japanology, combined with the latest works of historians.
Gekkōsō and Nakamura Yōko. Coin Shine Under the Moon: About the Gallery’s Activities and the Market for Soviet Art in Japan
Authors: Belozerov V. V.
Published: January 2025

From the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, the Gekkōsō Gallery occupied a significant niche in the exhibition exchange between the USSR and Japan, organizing exhibitions of works from the collections of leading Soviet museums in Japan (the State Russian Museum, the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, the State Hermitage, the State Tretyakov Gallery), as well as representing the work of individual artists (D. Nalbandyan, N. Romadin, T. Salakhov, Y. Pimenov, et al.). At the same time, the gallery was actively involved in the process of exporting paintings by Soviet artists, working with the Union of Soviet Artists and socio-political organizations.

The vigorous activity of the gallery director Nakamura Yōko and her chosen promotion strategy demonstrated the complex process of presenting Soviet art to Japanese consumers, associated with an attempt to de-ideologize the artists’ work while at the same time making it attractive for the art market in Japan. The process of commercialization of Soviet artists’ works and the nuances of Nakamura’s relationships with the Soviet Ministry of Culture and related organizations associated with the desire to seek the highest monetary gain and public status eventually led to the demise of Gekkōsō and its subsequent bankruptcy.

This article aims to outline the gallery’s phenomenon against the background of other actors of exhibition exchange between Japan and the USSR, showing the main milestones in the history of the gallery’s cooperation with Soviet institutions. Specific attention is paid to Nakamura Yōko’s image in Soviet periodicals, her business activities and personal contacts in the USSR, as well as her reputation in Japan. Materials for the article include documents from the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF), the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI), the archive of the State Tretyakov Gallery (GTG), as well as periodical materials from the 1970s and 1980s that mention Nakamura and her gallery’s activities.
Continental Policy of Japan as Seen From France: The Vichy Regime, Franco-Thai war, and Japanese Expansion in Indochina
Authors: Molodiakov V. E.
Published: January 2025

The article continues to analyze the little-studied aspects of the JapaneseFrench relations during the Second World War – the resistance of the French state (the Vichy regime) and the authorities of French Indochina to the military, political, economic, and propaganda expansion of Japan. The strategic goal of Japan after the military defeat of France in 1940 was to establish control over Indochina. The authoritarian Vichy regime proclaimed a policy of “preserving the empire,” but compromised with Japan because of the inequality of forces in the region and the remoteness of Indochina from the metropole.Japan exerted pressure on France with the help of its ally Thailand, pushing it to an aggressive war against Indochina. The author examines the process of developing French policy and the actions (as well as inaction) of its leaders and main performers since the autumn of 1940: Head of State Marshal Philippe Petain, heads of government as Vice Prime Minister Pierre Laval and JeanFrançois Darlan, Foreign Ministers Paul Baudouin and Pierre-Etienne Flandin, Colonial Minister Charles Platon, Governor-General of Indochina Jean Decoux, Ambassador to Japan Charles Arsene-Henry, and Ambassador to the US Gaston Henry-Haye.This article is based on documents, diaries, memoirs, and other evidence of the actors in combination with the latest historical research.

“Frockcoats Walking in Line”: Noguchi Yonejirō’s Perception of Edwardian London
Authors: Gorbachenko A. S.
Published: January 2025

This article is devoted to the construction of the image of London and Londoners in the early 20th century in the works of a Japanese writer and poet Noguchi Yonejirō (1875–1947) on his first trip to Britain in late 1902. The study utilizes the writer’s autobiography in English and the collection 13 Years of Britain and the United States in Bungo with extracts from his diary entries. The author examines the key characteristics of the city and its inhabitants in Edwardian times, according to Noguchi Yonejirō. It was discovered that the images of London of this period had a common origin – a “pre-image” of an idealized city which formed on the basis of memoirs of 1860–1870s Japanese travelers.As a result, two contrasting images of London can be seen in Noguchi Yonejirōʼs writings. The first image of London is characterized by the predominance of negative characteristics in the texts of the Japanese writer. The reasons for this were that, in addition to the “pre-image,” Noguchi had been influenced by an earlier trip to the United States of America in 1893–1902 and the subsequent comparison of the British Empire’s capital with the American cities where the writer had previously lived. Later, the gloominess of city was replaced by a romanticized view of it as a graceful lady. The author suggests two reasons for the abrupt transformation of the image of London: the successful publication of the poem collection From the Eastern Sea, which was the purpose of Noguchi’s trip, and the writer’s gradual adaptation to the city, his acquiring ties with the locals, imitating Londoners and copying the habits, traditions, and foundations of the early 20th century British society.
Anatomy of the Tsushima Incident of 1861. A Look Through the Prism of the Participants’ Diaries
Authors: Romanchev D. D.
Published: January 2025

In 1854, the Japanese state had to abandon its 215-year policy of seclusion and unwittingly became part of the world community. Simultaneously, the Crimean War of 1853–1856, the scope of which extended beyond the boundaries of Crimea, raged, with military operations taking place even in the Pacific Ocean. Efimy Vasilyevich Putyatin (1803–1883) eventually succeeded in establishing diplomatic relations between the Russian Empire and Japan in 1855 with the signing of the so-called Shimoda Treaty, despite the challenging circumstances.After the unfavorable results of the Crimean War for the Russian Empire, the rivalry between Russia and Britain within the context of the “Great Game” continued, and Japan was affected by it already in 1861. The strategically located island of Tsushima caught the attention of the Russian and English fleets. But Russia’s attempt to establish a foothold there failed, and not without the involvement of British diplomats and the military. The so-called “Tsushima Incident,” on the one hand, showed the boundaries of Russia’s capabilities in the Far East at that time. On the other hand, it became the first open conflict between the Russians and the Japanese since the “Golovnin Incident” of 1811, increasing the latters’ fear of the threat from north. Through its mediation, Great Britain was able to further solidify its relations with the Land of the Rising Sun and demonstrated its capabilities in Japan.
Pediatric non-COVID community-acquired pneumonia: Correlation of etiology, innate immune responses and the impact of feeding practices
Authors: Jasim Rasha A.F. , Ewadh Ruqaya Munther Jalil , Al-Hindy Hayder Abdul-Amir Makki
Published: January 2025

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a lower respiratory tract infection in a healthy child who has not recently been admitted to the hospital. Being the primary line of defense against bacterial and viral infections, the innate immune system is vital to protecting against CAP. The study aims to inspect the effects of feeding practices on the innate immune response in pediatric NCCAP, with particular attention paid to WBCs, CRP, TLR2, and TLR4.The study was a multi-center, cross-sectional enlisted 190 participants, separated into three groups based on the forms of feeding that the children engaged received: 80 were breastfed, 90 received artificial feeding, and 20 received mixed feeding. The following data were collected from every participant: demographic features, clinical parameters, and laboratory tests of TLR2, TLR4, CRP, WBCs, and identification of the microbial causation of pneumonia. Polymerase chain reaction tests were used to exclude patients with COVID-19 infection. Most of the immune parameters (WBC and the differential count) have means that are comparable between males and females. There are variations in the values of TLR4 with P- 0.028 and TLR2 with P- 0.025, between sexes. Breastfed infants show significantly lower TLR4 and TLR2 levels compared to artificially fed infants, while there were no significant differences are observed in CRP levels among the feeding groups. Feeding practices influence immune parameters, highlighting different profiles in breastfed babies. While presenting valuable insights, the conclusions warrant justification through larger clinical trials.

On December 19, 2024, ECPS hosted the 18th session of the Mapping Global Populism (MGP) Panel Series, titled “Populism and Autocracy in the Gulf Countries.” This session examined a number of key contemporary dynamics at the intersection of populism and authoritarianism in the Gulf region. A distinguished panel of experts presented on a wide range of topics, including the evolution of social contracts in Gulf states; autocratization processes; the environmental dimension of authoritarian leadership; and the role of religion in shaping both domestic and international politics. The session thus offered many key critical insights into both the nebulous features of populism itself and the importance of bringing the Gulf region into scholarly conversation regarding populism’s impact across the globe.

Human-driven vehicles (HVs) will be interacting with automated vehicles (AVs) at AV market penetrations between 0% and 100%. However, little is known about how HVs interact with AVs. This study addresses knowledge gaps related to how HVs will interact with AVs on highways. The research was conducted in Oregon State University's Passenger Car Driving Simulator. Additionally, a Shimmer3 GSR+ sensor was used to measure participants' galvanic skin response (GSR). Two independent variables (i.e. leading vehicle speed and autonomy) were selected and resulted in a 2x2 factorial design. Participants were also exposed to two hard-braking scenarios: one with a leading HV and one with a leading AV. A post-drive survey included questions about the participant's level of comfort following HVs and AVs. The driving simulator experiment was successfully completed by 36 participants. Results from the linear mixed model show that driver level of stress was 70% higher in hard-brake scenarios involving HVs versus AVs. Of the 78 hard-braking scenarios tested in this study, 10 crashes were observed (4 with an HV, 6 with an AV). Half of the participants involved in a crash with an HV perceived the leading vehicle to be at fault, while all the participants who crashed with an AV blamed themselves for the error. Additionally, drivers over the age of 34.5 were found to give AVs 2% larger headways than HVs, while younger drivers gave AVs 18% smaller headways than HVs. Zero participants above the age of 34.5 years self-reported being ‘unconcerned’ when following an AV in the post-drive survey, while 38% of participants under the age of 34.5 did. This study supports the need for a better understanding of how human drivers will interact with AVs to calibrate human driver models when AV market penetrations are between 0% and 100%.

In Malaysia, slope failure is often caused by intense and prolonged rainfall. Commonly, the groundwater table in the affected areas has increased, and the ground faces erosion and runoff. Some Malaysian terrains are steep and hilly, increasing the risk of landslides. This scenario can result in significant consequences including loss of life, property damage, and environmental degradation. This study investigates the effect of rainfall infiltration on landfill slope stability using the finite element method (FEM) of Plaxis2D modeling. The study adopted the Mohr-Coulomb parameters and analyzed two main conditions: with and without rainfall infiltration. The behavior of landfill slope stability is determined by the generated pore water pressure. The highest pore-water pressure was 260.84 kPa at the slope toe. In addition, the safety factors were calculated for slope angles of 1:3, 1:4, and 1:5, yielding values of 2.237, 2.553, and 2.907, respectively. The slope of 1:5 represents the highest safety factor. The results show that rainfall infiltration dramatically reduces the safety factor, underlining the destabilizing effect on landfill slopes. Furthermore, the varying slope height, which is believed to be a crucial factor, was also studied. At steeper slope ratios, the slope is prone to failure. These findings provide an important understanding of the long-term stability of landfill slopes that are generally located in areas with heavy rainfall. This discussion provides valuable information for developing better risk assessment and mitigation strategies.

Changes in the cover value of grassland species over a four-year period were investigated in terms of light requirements for grassland species under different management regimes (mowing, mulching, meadow management, overgrazing). The highest cover values of light-demanding grassland plants (Trifolium sp., Achillea sp., Plantago sp.), which are ecologically and economically valuable and typical for extensive grassland with a soil condition of Solonyec, managed by the MATE Research Institute Karcag, were measured under mowing and meadow utilization. The lowest cover values of light-demanding butterfly-flowering species were found in treatments covered with leafy phytomass and overgrazed with sheep. In the overgrazing treatment, we observed invasive emergence of the light-hungry Hordeum murinum, a potential threat to sheep welfare.

Larva migrans cutánea es una parasitosis frecuente en zonas tropicales y húmedas, caracterizada por lesión cutánea serpinginosa. Debe diferenciarse con otras parasitosis como escabiosis, infecciones bacterianas y fúngicas. La evolución suele ser benigna y autolimitada de 1 a 3 meses. No obstante, debe considerarse el prurito intenso y los signos de sobreinfección bacteriana para no demorar el tratamiento. Este se realiza con finalidad de aliviar y acortar la duración de dicha infección. Se basa en derivados de benzimidazólicos o ivermectina en combinación con antihistamínicos y/o corticoterapia tópica así como antibioterapia sistémica si sospecha de infección bacteriana concomitante.
