Published: April 2024

The present study focuses on grade 13KhFА steel alloyed with chromium and vanadium for the production of seamless pipes. The pipes were subjected to heat treatment throughout their body and along their entire length. They were fed individually into the furnace, end-to-end, consecutively. The heat treatment furnace was fueled by natural gas. Cooling of the pipes from the quenching temperature was achieved using water in a jet cooling multi-hole device (sprayer). This was followed by high self-tempering due to the heat retained after exiting the quenching furnace. Following quenching and high tempering, the structure of the 13KhFА steel on the surface of the pipe consisted of a mixture of ferrite and carbides with a granular carbide morphology (tempered sorbite). This structure enhances the corrosion resistance of the steel and provides an optimal combination of strength and toughness. The hardening temperature for seamless pipes made of 13KhFА steel was set within the range of 915–920 °C, while the tempering temperature was maintained at 720–730 °C. This careful selection of quenching and tempering temperatures within the specified limits makes it possible to obtain an improved structure of the 13KhFА steel. Keywords: pipe steel; thermal hardening; economically alloyed steel; regulatory standards; corrosion resistance.

Published: April 2024

La violencia ha aumentado exponencialmente durante los últimos años, así como también la población carcelaria. La presente investigación buscó identificar si existe relación entre la desconexión moral y la empatía. Fue un estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, correlacional y transversal. Se contó con una muestra de 96 personas privadas de la libertad mayores de 18 años que están recluidos en una cárcel del Ecuador, a quienes se les aplicó el cuestionario de Desconexión Moral (MMD) y el Índice de Reactividad Interpersonal (IRI). Se encontró que la Justificación Moral y la Toma de Perspectiva son los mecanismos que se correlacionan de manera leve pero inversa, los demás mecanismos que componen ambas variables no se correlacionaron. Al parecer las personas privadas de la libertad no toman en cuenta la perspectiva del otro tendiendo a justificar a nivel cognitivo su comportamiento que puede ser reprochable.

Mentha cordifolia .(Lamiaceae) or Mint, is distributed all over the world. Essential oils found are menthol, menthone, 1,8-cineole, pinene, myrcene, and borneol. M. cordifolia. most popular herb, is widely used in cooking, cosmetics, complementary therapy, and pharmaceuticals for anti-carcinogen, gastro protective, antimicrobial, and antivirus purposes. The manufactory extracted essential oil method used steam distillation and hydro-distillation, which decomposed the components. The aim of this work was to study the innovative technologies of chemical constituents’ extraction by ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) that include high yields, short-extraction times, and energy savings. The extraction of Mentha cordifolia was carried out at 20 KHz ultrasonic frequencies. Sonicated times were 1.5 h. Antioxidant studies of essential oils by UAE extraction were 2, 2-diphenyl-1-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS), and pharmacological activity was anti-Alzheimer (Ellman’s method). The UAE method used hexane, ethyl acetate, and ethanol as solvents and set the time to 1.0 h; in the second experiment, it set the time to 1.5h in the same system. Crude hexane (F1) extracted gave terpene and essential oils; crude ethyl acetate (F2) extracted gave flavonoids; and crude ethanol (F3) extracted gave phenolic compounds. The UAE method gave fractions F1, F2, and F3, which showed the DPPH activity was IC50 259, 229, and 74 mg/mL; ABTS radical scavenging was IC50 129, 103, and 127 mg/mL; and anti-acetylcholinesterase was IC50 128, 126, and 137mg/mL, respectively.

Organized leader election consensus protocol and a supportive blockchain model for ambient assisted living
Authors: Assiri Basem
Published: April 2024

Blockchain enhances the development of other technologies and systems by providing more transparency, sharing, decentralization, security, and privacy. Blockchain has many applications that enable integration and application in many areas, such as the field of ambient assisted living (AAL). However, blockchain includes many processes for data proposing, validating, and approving, which result in high latency. Such latency negatively influences AAL systems, which require real-time responses in many cases. In addition, blockchain processes are processed based on consensus. This challenges specialized decisions that should be taken only by specialized members within the blockchain network. Therefore, this work introduces an organized leader election consensus protocol with a blockchain model that is applicable for AAL. The proposed protocol and model are able to solve the issue of latency as well as consider specialized decisions. Solving the issue of latency enables AAL to perform real-time processes in the needed cases. While considering the matter of specialization gives more credibility to the blockchain’s decisions, which is necessary for AAL. Indeed, it classifies the blocks into special-sensitive, time-sensitive, and non-sensitive classes, where each class has a suitable procedure. In addition, to manage the organized leader election consensus protocol, we manage the blockchain feature and rewarding strategy. This enhances the miners’ participation in a way that supports blockchain and AAL simultaneously. The experimental results show that our model reduces the execution time by about 51% in comparison to the original blockchain model.

Published: April 2024

Mobile devices are widely used in modernizing healthcare delivery because of their unique features related to accessibility, virtual interaction, and connectivity. While developing countries, with limited resources, strive to achieve high healthcare standards, and mobile health (mHealth) solutions could transform healthcare delivery systems in these countries, their functionality is currently limited. This study investigates the potential systematic introduction of mHealth services and their social acceptability in developing countries, with a particular focus on Nigeria. This cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of university students. Structural equation modeling was used to test the study hypotheses, and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants. Psychological and personal characteristics, environmental characteristics, and conditions of use associated with mHealth technology adoption were examined based on eight constructs (health consciousness, trust, social influence, perceived risk, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, effort expectancy, and behavioral intention). The results indicate that trust and performance expectancy are significant predictors of mHealth acceptance in the surveyed population. The future acceptance of mHealth among young people in developing countries holds great significance for improving healthcare delivery, addressing the unique challenges faced by developing countries, and leveraging the preferences of young individuals, which could contribute to the advancement of mHealth solutions and enhance healthcare accessibility. The findings shed light on the acceptance of mHealth technologies among the young populations of developing countries, with implications for future efforts to improve healthcare delivery and address the healthcare challenges of these countries.

Published: April 2024

Many countries with emerging economies suffer from a high level of corruption that hampers their overall development. Despite the abundance of literature scrutinizing the intricate relationship between corruption and economic growth, the precise nature of this connection remains elusive. To address this, this study rigorously examines the link between corruption and economic growth across 129 developing countries, spanning the years 2003 to 2021. The methodology relies on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) to gauge the extent of corruption within these nations. Employing the Plate-Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) estimator, we seek to derive a more robust and reliable measure of the correlation between corruption and growth. The noteworthy revelation of this investigation is that higher levels of corruption surprisingly correlate with increased economic growth in developing countries, thereby supporting the intriguing "grease the wheels" hypothesis. These findings challenge conventional assumptions and prompt a re-evaluation of the perceived negative impact of corruption on economic development. Furthermore, our analysis uncovers additional factors influencing economic growth in developing nations. Notably, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and revenues from oil contribute positively to economic growth, while augmented military expenditures emerge as a suppressant. These nuanced insights shed light on the multifaceted dynamics shaping economic trajectories in developing countries and underscore the complexity of the interplay between corruption and key economic indicators.

Published: April 2024

Wheat, a staple crop and an essential component of global food security, holds immense significance for Pakistan due to its historical roots, agricultural contributions, and socio-economic impact. The present study was conducted to reveal the genetics of various yield associated traits in spring wheat using 5 × 5 diallel cross scheme involving high yielding wheat varieties. A total of ten tillers per plant, 1000-grain weight, number of total grains per spike, peduncle length, length of spike, and yield of grain per plant were among the characteristics that were evaluated. Hybrid vigor can be a viable strategy for further improving these characteristics, as the graphical analysis for all characteristics per plant demonstrated supremacy form of gene activity. While additive action of gene with partial dominance dictated the transmission of peduncle length and number of tillers per plant, these features might be improved in early generations by selecting for attractive transgressive segregates. For all of the studied characteristics no epistasis was evaluated. This study is promising and has the potential to significantly impact wheat breeding programs, agricultural productivity, and food security in the coming years.

Published: April 2024

O Brasil, país que é resultado de uma miscigenação étnico-sócio-cultural, ainda é visto como negligente no papel de aceite dessa condição. Historicamente, o povo negro tem sido marginalizado, discriminado e, por vezes, deixado a mercê. No ensino superior, sobretudo na graduação em Medicina, a marginalização dessa população ainda é notória no país, mesmo após a criação de políticas afirmativas. Diante desse cenário, este trabalho objetiva desenvolver uma revisão narrativa da literatura, identificando a produção científica existente sobre as tendências e desafios enfrentados pela população negra no curso supracitado. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão narrativa da literatura, na qual a busca foi feita nas bases de dados LILACS, PubMed e SciElo, priorizando artigos no idioma inglês e português, publicados entre 2014 e 2023. Observou-se, durante a construção da revisão, que esta população enfrenta uma série de desafios significativos no âmbito da educação básica e superior, refletindo diferenças estruturais profundamente enraizadas. No contexto da graduação em Medicina, curso que foi construído a base de racismo e segregação desde seu surgimento, a representatividade se torna ainda mais escassa, com a sub-representação de estudantes negros e carência de profissionais docentes que pertençam a esse grupo. Aliado a isso, sob uma perspectiva histórica, mais do que barreiras econômicas, as disparidades também perpassam pelo nível de escolaridade, riqueza, rendimento acadêmico e vínculo empregatício, resultando em uma socioeconômica. Assim, abordar esses desafios requer a implementação de políticas inclusivas efetivas, investimentos substanciais e esforços capazes de combater o racismo presente nesse sistema educacional.

Negative and positive freedom of a client as social work values
Authors: Gałkowski Jan P.
Published: April 2024

The article aims to present the freedom of the social work client as a constitutive value of this profession and to analyse its two fundamental aspects: negative and positive freedom. Negative freedom, understood here as the client's self-determination, is the dimension of freedom which, on the one hand, must be respected but simultaneously restricted, and its restriction by a social worker is ethically permissible in certain situations. Positive freedom conceptualised here as liberation, is that dimension of freedom that is the ultimate goal of the social worker’s activities and, therefore, essential to define this profession. Due to the importance of the client's self-determination for social work, the article pays special attention to two aspects of the client's self-determination: voluntary use of support and active participation in the assistance process, as well as paternalism as an attitude limiting the client's freedom. The conclusion draws attention to the proper education of future social workers as part of their preparation to respect and promote the freedom of clients.

En el año 2023, se llevó a cabo un análisis detallado de los factores críticos que influyen en el éxito y fracaso de los emprendimientos en Villa Hayes, Paraguay, utilizando un enfoque metodológico mixto y no experimental. El propósito de este estudio fue explorar en profundidad las prácticas de los empresarios en un entorno económico emergente. Entre los hallazgos principales, se destacó la prevalencia de la autofinanciación, con un 66.67% de los emprendedores recurriendo a sus ahorros personales, indicando posibles dificultades en el acceso a fuentes de financiamiento alternativas. Se notó una brecha entre la disponibilidad de recursos financieros como préstamos bancarios y programas gubernamentales y su uso efectivo por parte de los emprendedores. Además, un 64.92% de los participantes no estaban involucrados en redes de negocios, lo cual subraya la importancia de estas redes en el crecimiento empresarial. A pesar de que la mayoría aplicaba tácticas de planificación estratégica, hubo opiniones divididas respecto a la gestión de recursos humanos y el marketing digital. La publicidad tradicional aún se consideraba importante por un 33.33% de los encuestados, evidenciando que, a pesar de la era digital, estas técnicas tradicionales mantienen su relevancia en ciertos mercados. Este estudio resalta la necesidad urgente de fortalecer el soporte a los emprendedores, mejorando el acceso a financiamiento, fomentando la integración en redes empresariales y promoviendo la adopción de prácticas de gestión avanzadas, con el fin de impulsar el desarrollo económico de Villa Hayes y asegurar ventajas competitivas duraderas.

La economía se mueve a través de un mundo no lineal y presenta distintos efectos en base a regímenes cambiantes. Esta investigación presenta como eje principal analizar el impacto asimétrico de los instrumentos de política fiscal (gasto del gobierno y recaudación tributaria) en la evolución del Producto Bruto Interno durante periodo 2000-2022. Se tiene en cuenta que la metodología científica sigue una exhaustiva revisión de literatura especializada en base finanzas públicas que brinda como elección al modelo Threshold Autorregresive para responder óptimamente el objetivo de este análisis. Por tanto, se encuentran como hallazgos principales las elasticidades de la política fiscal en base al ciclo económico donde se refleja que ante el impacto de 1% en el gasto de gobierno, el Producto Bruto Interno incrementará en 0.39% en épocas de recesión y 0.31% en épocas de expansión.

El objetivo general de la investigación es analizar el Impacto del Marketing en el Ámbito Religioso. Se basó en un enfoque cualitativo de diseño no experimental, corte transversal y descriptivo. Se entrevistó a 20 personas por conveniencia mediante una guía de 10 preguntas abiertas enviada vía email en el 2022. Los resultados más relevantes fueron: 19 de los entrevistados practican la religión cristiana; confirman que su motivación proviene tanto del ámbito individual como grupal y la mayoría aceptan el uso del Marketing en la religión. Se concluye que el Marketing y la Religión se complementan y pueden ir de la mano, aunque se tengan objetivos diferentes, ambos tienden a cubrir las necesidades del ser humano expandiendo conocimientos e informaciones necesarias para su uso.
Editorial Vol. 4, Núm. 7 - Sostenibilidad y desempeño organizacional
Authors:   Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, Paraguay, Ferrer Dávalos Raúl Marcelo
Published: April 2024

La flexibilidad estratégica puede aprovecharse óptimamente para medir y mejorar el desempeño de las empresas en general y muy especialmente de las micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (MiPymes) cuando es necesario desarrollar un enfoque ágil para abordar las condiciones dinámicas del entorno que repercuten en la productividad de la empresa. Estudios previos hallaron una relación positiva y significativa entre la flexibilidad estratégica y el desempeño organizacional, que varía en función de los factores de contingencia. Por otro lado, algunos autores ponen de relieve los recursos críticos que necesitan las MiPymes para navegar con éxito por las iniciativas de transformación digital: tecnologías digitales, competencias digitales de los empleados y estrategias de transformación digital bien elaboradas. Aunque los tres elementos impulsan una transformación digital eficaz, el estudio identifica la estrategia de transformación digital como el factor clave que influye en los resultados financieros y por ende en el desempeño organizacional.

This research examined the link between digital competencies and technostress among university instructors in remote settings in Peru, with the goal of identifying if improving digital skills could help mitigate technostress. A non-experimental, quantitative methodology was employed, gathering data via standardized surveys such as the DigCompEdu Check-In and RED TIC. The participant group comprised 120 teachers, whose responses were analyzed using logistic regression in SPSS v27. Descriptive findings indicated that 55,6 % of the teachers demonstrated a high level of professional commitment, and 58,9 % showed proficient digital pedagogical skills. Inferential analysis showed a significant correlation between digital competencies and technostress, with a Nagelkerke index of 0,622, suggesting that about 62,2 % of the variation in technostress could be explained by differences in digital competencies. The study concludes that enhancing digital competencies among teachers could substantially reduce their technostress, emphasizing the need to effectively integrate these skills into teaching practices to improve the educational experience in virtual settings
