Published: May 2022

En septiembre de 2020 se retomaron las clases con multitud de medidas y recomendaciones por el Covid-19, y también con mucha incertidumbre. Los pocos documentos científicos existentes sobre el tema reflejan la opinión de los docentes, pero ¿y los estudiantes? ¿Cómo han vivido ellos esta nueva educación física? El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer las impresiones de un grupo amplio de estudiantes después de experimentar un trimestre completo la clase de E.F. bajo las restricciones provocadas por la pandemia. Un total de 153 estudiantes de tercero a sexto de educación primaria (ocho -12 años) accedieron a participar. Su docente organizó la clase a partir de las recomendaciones publicadas: distancia de seguridad, no compartir material y desinfección. El estudio siguió un diseño de investigación fenomenológico, etnográfico y cualitativo. Al final del trimestre, todos los participantes respondieron a una serie de preguntas abiertas anónimas. Del análisis conjunto de los datos extraídos emergieron cuatro aspectos positivos: novedad, adaptación, docente, y transferencia y cinco negativos: socialización, mascarilla, instalaciones, pérdida de tiempo y miedo al contagio. Se concluye que es posible desarrollar una E.F. de calidad, variada, novedosa y del gusto del alumnado, respetando las medidas frente al Covid-19 planteadas, pero es necesario escuchar a los estudiantes y hacer las modificaciones necesarias. 
Abstract. In September 2020, classes were resumed with a multitude of measures and recommendations for the Covid-19, but a lot of uncertainty. The few existing scientific documents on the topic reflect the opinion of teachers, but what about students? How have they lived this new physical education? The objective of the present study was to know the impressions of a large group of students after experiencing a full term of physical education class under the restrictions caused by the pandemic. A total of 153 students from 3rd to 6th grade of primary education (eight -12 years old) agreed to participate. His teacher organized the class based on the published recommendations: safety distance, not sharing material and disinfection. The study followed a phenomenological, ethnographic, and qualitative research design. At the end of the quarter, all participants answered a series of anonymous open-ended questions. From the joint analysis of the extracted data, four positive aspects emerged: novelty, adaptation, teaching, and transfer, and five negative aspects: socialization, mask, facilities, loss of time and fear of contagion.

La pandemia por COVID-19 tuvo gran impacto sobre la salud mental de la población universitaria, por lo que gestionar alternativas para adaptarse resulta fundamental. Objetivo. El propósito del estudio fue analizar el efecto moderador de la actividad física (AF) sobre los niveles de ansiedad generados por las vivencias durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en estudiantes universitarios. Método. Se realizó un estudio transversal, correlacional-explicativo en estudiantes universitarios (n = 922; 36.66% hombres y 63.34% mujeres; 19.97 ±2.92 años). Se aplicó un cuestionario ad hoc para medir el miedo al COVID-19, así como el CUXOS-D para los niveles de ansiedad y el IPAQ-s para evaluar la AF. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, inferenciales y de moderación, además del factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio para el CUXOS-D. Resultados. Se observa la influencia del miedo al COVID-19 sobre los niveles de ansiedad cognitiva, la cual es moderada por los niveles de AF alta (F [3,918] = 21.58; p < .001). Asimismo, se observa que las mujeres perciben mayor ansiedad y realizan menor AF que los hombres. El análisis factorial del CUXOS-D fue satisfactorio. Conclusión. La AF puede tener efectos positivos que moderen el impacto generado por el COVID-19 sobre la ansiedad en la comunidad universitaria.
Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the mental health of the university population, so managing alternatives to adapt is essential. Objective. The purpose of the study was to analyze the moderating effect of physical activity (PA) on the anxiety levels generated by the experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic in university students. Method. A cross-sectional, correlational-explanatory study was carried out in university students (n = 922; 36.66% men and 63.34% women; 19.97 ± 2.92 years). An ad hoc questionnaire was applied to measure fear to COVID-19, as well as the CUXOS-D for anxiety levels and the IPAQ-s to assess PA. Descriptive, inferential and moderation analyzes were performed, in addition to the exploratory and confirmatory factorial for the CUXOS-D. Results. The influence of fear to COVID-19 on cognitive anxiety levels is observed, which is moderated by high PA levels (F [3,918] = 21.58; p <.001). Likewise, it is observed that women perceive greater anxiety and perform less PA than men. The factor analysis of the CUXOS-D was satisfactory. Conclusion. Physical activity can have positive effects that moderate the impact generated by COVID-19 over anxiety in the university community.

Authors: Ávalos Mª. Alejandra , Benavidez Lozano Paula , Vega-Ramírez Lilyan
Published: May 2022

Esta investigación de diseño cuasiexperimental se centra en analizar las actitudes hacia la práctica de las habilidades gimnásticas y acrobáticas en una muestra de alumnos de Educación Secundaria, según los estilos de enseñanza aplicados. El desarrollo de las destrezas gimnásticas se plantea a través de dos métodos de enseñanza diferentes; por un lado, una enseñanza tradicional utilizando el mando directo y la asignación de tareas y, por otro lado, un método participativo, como es el caso del estilo de la microenseñanza. Los resultados evidencian que a través de las metodologías participativas se favorece la predisposición y satisfacción hacia las prácticas gimnásticas, así como la mejora de actitudes colaborativas; mientras que a través de los métodos tradicionales se fomenta la percepción de la mejora del aprendizaje motor y la corrección de los propios errores técnicos. Por lo tanto, el método de enseñanza adoptado por el profesorado podrá condicionar la relación de éste con los distintos elementos del contexto didáctico, de forma que marcará las propias relaciones entre los mismos. Para potenciar ambientes de aprendizaje óptimos el profesorado deberá dominar, combinar y aplicar diferentes estilos de enseñanza tras establecer un análisis previo de la situación dentro de la convivencia del aula.
Abstract. This quasi-experimental research focuses on analysing attitudes towards the practice of gymnastic and acrobatic skills in a sample of High School students, according to the teaching styles applied. The development of gymnastic skills is approached through two different teaching methods; on the one hand, traditional teaching: direct command and assignment of tasks and, on the other hand, a participative style: microteaching. The results show that through participatory methodologies, predisposition and satisfaction towards gymnastic practices are favoured, as well as the improvement of collaborative attitudes; while through traditional styles, the perception of the improvement of motor learning and the correction of one's own mistakes are encouraged. Therefore, the teaching style adopted by the teacher may condition the relationship of the latter with the different elements of the didactic context, in such a way that it will mark the relationships between them. To promote optimal learning environments, teachers must master, combine, and apply different teaching styles after establishing a prior analysis of the situation within the classroom.

Published: May 2022

El sector de los esports ha aumentado tanto su popularidad entre la población, que la realización de eventos de estos ha crecido con el paso de los años. Este estudio tuvo como propósito conocer que influencia tenían las variables de rendimiento del servicio: calidad general y valor percibido; y las variables de marca: credibilidad de marca, reconocimiento de marca e imagen corporativa, en la lealtad de los usuarios. Para la obtención de la información se suministró un cuestionario de forma presencial y online por eventos de esports celebrados en la Comunidad Valenciana, España. Obteniendo una muestra total de 194 participantes. En primer lugar, se realizó un análisis descriptivo de los resultados y un análisis de correlación de Pearson que permitiera comprobar la independencia de las variables predictoras de la lealtad. Finalmente se realizó una regresión lineal con la intención de comprobar si las variables de rendimiento del servicio y las variables de marca propuestas tenían influencia significativa sobre la lealtad. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que las variables de rendimiento del servicio predecían de forma significativa la lealtad. Mientras que, de las variables de marca, únicamente lo hacía la imagen corporativa. Estos datos demostraron que para mejorar la lealtad de los usuarios en los eventos de esports hay que priorizar las estrategias en las variables que influyen sobre aspectos relacionados con la percepción de rendimiento del evento, por encima de las de marca. 
Abstract. The esports sector has become so popular among the population that the number of esports events has grown over the years. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of of service performance variables: general quality and perceived value; and the brand variables: brand credibility, brand recognition and corporate image, on user loyalty. To obtain the information, a questionnaire was administered in person and online at esports events held in the Valencian Community, Spain. A total sample of 194 participants was obtained. First, a descriptive analysis of the results and a Pearson correlation analysis were carried out to test the Independence of the predictor variables of loyalty. Finally, a linear regression was performed to test whether the service performance variables and brand variables had a significant influence on loyalty. The results obtained indicated that the service performance variables significantly predicted loyalty. While the brand variables only predicted corporate image. These data showed that in order to improve user loyalty at esports events, it is necessary to prioritise strategies on variables that influence aspects related to the perceived performance of the event, rather than brand variables.

Background: A quality of life (QoL) assessment tool needs to be translated and validated in the language of the participants to whom it is administered. Therefore, the oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14) scale, developed originally in English, has been translated into different languages like Hindi, Gujrati, etc. The Marathi version of OHIP-14 will be useful to assess in regions where the Marathi language is prominently spoken. Thus, the present study was carried out to translate and validate the Marathi version of the OHIP-14 instrument to measure the oral health-related quality of life. Aims & Objectives: To translate and validate the English Version of the OHIP-14 instrument in the Marathi Language. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study in which 128 participants were selected through a convenient sampling method. The English version of the OHIP-14 was translated using the forward-backward translation technique, and participants were given English and the Marathi versions of the OHIP-14 questionnaire. The filled questionnaires were subjected to statistical analysis. Result:  The difference in mean scores was not statistically significant(p=0.828). Pearson’s correlation coefficient test was 0.999, suggesting that the translated Marathi version is highly correlated with the original English version. Conclusion: The Marathi version of OHIP-14 is a valid, and reliable instrument for assessing QoL among the population who speak Marathi.

Authors: Johnson Avita Rose , Balasubramanya Bhavya , Thimmaiah Sulekha
Published: May 2022

Background: National Family Health Surveys in India have not included nutritional status of the crucial age group of 10-14 years, when pubertal growth spurt typically occurs. BMI-for-age is commonly used to assess adolescent nutritional status which may misclassify stunted adolescents as normal or overweight. Objectives: To estimate prevalence and determinants of stunting among adolescents (10 to 19 years) in Bangalore city and to estimate the proportion of adolescents who are stunted, but otherwise assessed as normal or overweight using BMI-for-age. Methods: Cross sectional study conducted in four schools of Bangalore city using a self-administered questionnaire to capture socio-demographic details, dietary patterns and physical activity. WHO Anthroplus software was used to classify nutritional status based on height-for-age and BMI-for-age. Multiple logistic regression analysis was done to calculate adjusted odds ratios of independent co-variates associated with stunting. Results: Overall prevalence of stunting was 14% (95%CI:11.5-16.5%); 14.3% among females (95%CI:10.7-17.9%) and 13.6% among males (95%CI: 10.2-17.0%). Determinants of stunting were late adolescence [AOR=1.90(1.24-2.90),P=0.03], lower socio-economic class [AOR=2.75(1.39-5.41),P=0.03] and not taking weekly iron and folic acid supplements [AOR=2.78(1.48-5.21),P=0.001] Four of every five stunted children (81%) were classified as normal/ overweight/ obese using BMI-for-age. Conclusion: Stunting is a problem among urban adolescents in Bangalore. Height-for-age is a vital metric for assessing nutritional status of adolescents along with other metrics. We recommend strengthening of weekly iron and folic acid supplementation in schools and culturally specific targeted nutritional interventions for adolescents from economically weaker sections of society using a multi-sectoral and participatory approach.

Authors: ÖZUYAR Doğuş
Published: May 2022

Son on yılda uzay teknolojisinin gelişmesiyle birlikte uzaya yollanan yüksek çözünürlüklü ve kesintisiz gözlem yapabilen teleskoplar sayesinde hem yakın çevremizdeki hem de Evren’in derinliklerindeki gökcisimleri daha ayrıntılı olarak incelenmeye başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmalar arasında galaktik ve galaksi dışı gözlemler, Güneş’in atmosferinin incelenmesi ve ötegezegen araştırmaları başı çekmektedir. Bu araştırmalar için kullanılabilen önemli teleskoplardan ikisi STEREO ve TESS’dir. STEREO’nun asıl görevi Güneş’teki madde atımlarını takip etmek ve TESS’in görevi ise yeni ötegezenler keşfetmektir. Ancak bunların yanı sıra, bu teleskoplar arka planda bulunan milyonlarca yıldızın ışık değişimlerini gözleme özelliğine de sahiptir. Bu sayede yıldız astrofiziğinde oldukça önemli gelişmeler yaşanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, çok sayıda yıldızın aynı anda gözlenmesiyle büyük veri kümeleri elde edilmeye başlanmış ve bunun sonucu olarak da bilgisayar kodlarının kullanıldığı otomatik veri işleme süreçleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak bu süreç birçok sorunu da beraberinde getirmektedir. Çok sayıda ve çeşitli türdeki yıldızların analiz edilmeye çalışılması veri indirgeme ve analiz kodlarının aynı hassasiyetle çalışmasına izin vermemekte ve insan kaynaklı hataların da işin içine girmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu duruma uzay aracından kaynaklanan sorunlar da eklendiğinde elde edilen veride ve analiz sonuçlarında ciddi problemler ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, STEREO uydusundan elde edilen 41 tane Be türü yıldızın ışık eğrileri analiz edilmiş ve verilerde yıldızlardan kaynaklanmayan bir problem ile karşılaşılmıştır. Daha net bilgiler elde edebilmek için bu 41 yıldızdan TESS ile gözlenmiş olanlar belirlenmiş ve iki uydudan alınan ışık eğrileri karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara dayanarak STEREO verilerindeki problem irdelenmiştir.

Published: May 2022

The Fiscal Anti-fraud Directorate General (DGAF) is a structure of the Romanian public authority whose primary objective is the fight against tax evasion and tax and customs fraud. The activity of investigating fraud and dismantling the transactional chains that lead to prejudicing the state budget is important both from a financial point of view and from a social point of view and it contributes to building trust in the safety and integrity of the tax system. Given the need for a sustainable legal framework for fighting against evasion and taking into account the importance of a unitary control mechanism able to eliminate parallelisms or divergences in the assessment of economic operations, the research focuses on the analysis of the dynamics of the activity of the Fiscal Anti-fraud Directorate General by means of the indicators reported by the institution. The paper allows the identification of certain correlations or interdependencies between the specific indicators of the fraud investigation activity, as well as the foreshadowing of some areas for normative improvement related to the reporting of the results of the anti-fraud activity. The reduction of tax evasion and the increase in collected budget revenues are objectives that convey a strategic importance to DGAF’s activity, so that the research of the indicators reported by this structure of public authority produces an image of the degree of economic compliance and the compliance with the premises of fiscal fairness and equity.

Published: May 2022

Financial markets have a significant role in economic development; Iraq's stock exchange trades and mobilize financial resources as the only stock market operating in Iraq. All statistics indicate the progress of the Iraq stock exchange compared to the previous period, especially before the lockdown due to covid in (2019). However, the Iraqi stock exchange capitalization still did not get to one percent of the total capitalization of the entire Arab financial markets. Furthermore, past studies' results concluded that there is still no consistent or inconclusive relationship between the macroeconomics variables and the Iraq stock exchange performance. Therefore, Iraq is still a solid context to explore the linkage between these variables, mainly due to Iraq's economy as one of the economies having substantial oil reserves in the MENA region. Also, the Iraq stock exchange needs to activate all ways to make the information available or access information by all investors to make the Iraqi stock exchange efficient to prevent the possibility of achieving abnormal profits by some investors.

Published: May 2022

Instructional effects of tracking could have serious consequences for students and important implications for educational policy and practice. This study aimed to find out whether tracking during senior high school matters when choosing a program in college. For this purpose, descriptive design was employed to address the problem of the study. On the other hand, due to some problems of the study which cannot be addressed quantitatively, there was an element of qualitative method that was used in the conduct of the study. The findings revealed that the majority of the students came from the Academic Track, specifically from the General Academic Strand. Students have a very satisfactory performance but they vary in their performance when grouped according to track/strand. The students from the non-HUMMS strand believe that subject alignment to teacher education and teacher preparation are the problems that they encountered when they are already in the teacher education program. The students agreed that tracking is no longer a factor in choosing a program in college.

Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of our lives and institutions, and unfortunately marine crime is also an area that has not been bypassed. Although we could say that during the lockdown period the environment was somewhat protected, it seems that after things started to return to normal and the crimes started to appear again. Between 1 and 30 March 2021, 67 states, including Romania, joined forces in a large-scale global operation coordinated by Europol and Frontex, as part of the EMPACT action plan on environmental crime, with global activities coordinated by INTERPOL. As a result of the 30 Days at Sea action, which is in its third edition, a large number of crimes against the pollution of the marine environment have been detected, and several sanctions have been applied, which proves that humanity is taking a stand against any form of environmental aggression in which we all live together. Through this article we have proposed to present and analyze both the crimes detected and the sanctions that have been applied by carrying out this extensive action, in all its three editions.
Progressive rock caught up with mercantile values: the unknown roots of a "quiet revolution"
Authors: Pache Gilles
Published: May 2022

The paper focuses on a historical phenomenon that has been little studied: the way in which the music industry, particularly the progressive rock movement that emerged from the counterculture in the 1960s, gradually became subject to the laws of marketing. The roots of this “quiet revolution” are studied starting from the sponsorship negotiated by the Pink Floyd, in 1974, with a famous brand of soft drinks called Gini. The band members agreed that a series of concerts would be partially financed by a multinational company, justifying this choice by the desire to reduce the price of tickets for the fans. While the justification is commendable, it is an essential step towards the triumph of the entertainment society dominated by mercantile values. From this point of view, the Pink Floyd/Gini “affair” can be seen as a key moment for the development of modern marketing.

THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE PEOPLES OF MAWARANNAHR TO THE ISLAMIC SCIENCES AND CULTURE
Authors: Yovqochev Shuxrat
Published: May 2022

The study of the heritage and works of the great ancestors who lived on the territory of Mawarannahr, who made a significant contribution to the development of Islamic sciences and culture is seen as one of the fundamental points in the self-identification of young independent states in the post-Soviet period. These works not only can help in the education of the younger rising generation but also serve as an excellent factual and practical material for confronting religious radicalism. The purpose of the article is to show how rich is the legacy of the great scientists of Mawarannahr. It can be used not only in the study of Islamic sciences but also in countering the new modern threats. It may serve as an adequate response to religious extremism. The article shows what role the scientists of Mawarannahr played in the development of Islamic culture and sciences. We used primary sources and secondary research by the scientists of the 20th - early 21st centuries. The comparative historical evidence is taken based on the methodology including the systematization according to chronology. The article attempts to show the importance of the contribution made by the peoples of Mawarannahr to the development of Islamic sciences and culture. There also paid particular attention to the main works of the ulema and scientists, who are the standard-bearers of Islamic sciences and Muslim culture. There reviewed the entry of the Arabs into the region and their subsequent activities critically and as objectively as possible. The paper also attempts to analyze the importance of the activities of medieval scientists concerning today and the conclusions are given
La experiencia laboral de egresados de los programas de TSU, frente a la pandemia de Covid 19
Authors: Jiménez Romero María Adriana , Fritz Macías Heidi Diana
Published: May 2022

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación sobre la experiencia laboral de egresadas y egresados de los programas de Técnico Superior Universitario (TSU) de la Universidad Iberoamericana Ciudad de México (Ibero). Estas experiencias se centran en las afectaciones que tuvo en su empleo y condiciones laborales el confinamiento social generado por la pandemia de Covid-19. Se trata de un recorte de una investigación cualitativa transversal más amplia que, mediante las evidencias recabadas por entrevistas y con la técnica fotovoz, explica –desde la sociología del trabajo– cómo cambiaron sus condiciones laborales y cómo han respondido a dichos cambios. El análisis de los resultados da cuenta de un incremento en el desempleo y subempleo, y de la necesidad de establecer condiciones de trabajo que salvaguarden la salud y la economía, situación que no es exclusiva de trabajadores con escolaridad de TSU; sin embargo, se identifica que, por la posición laboral y las actividades que asumen, son parte de la población más afectada. Asimismo, se vislumbra un futuro para los TSU con diferentes ocupaciones que exigirán nuevas habilidades, lo que obligará a las instituciones de educación técnica a anticipar y diseñar oferta formativa acorde con las nuevas necesidades de trabajo.
La difícil vinculación de la escuela y el trabajo en la educación media profesional. El caso de Conalep Aguascalientes, México
Authors: Díaz Guevara Juan Carlos , Camacho Sandoval Salvador
Published: May 2022

El propósito del artículo es mostrar la dificultad de hacer realidad el discurso de la vinculación entre la educación técnica profesional y el mundo laboral en México. A partir del análisis de varios estudios y, sobre todo, de los resultados de una investigación de caso, explora el uso de estrategias de vinculación del Colegio Nacional de Educación Profesional Técnica (Conalep) en Aguascalientes, con el fin de acercarse al sector productivo, en términos de su comisión académica, apoyos al mercado laboral, obtención de recursos y su gestión administrativa. El estudio tiene un enfoque cualitativo, en el cual se realizaron 12 entrevistas semiestructuradas a egresados, cuatro a docentes y cuatro a directivos. Los hallazgos permiten dar cuenta del tipo de relación escuela-trabajo desarrollada por el Conalep y de los problemas que impiden el cumplimiento de objetivos: deficiencias de gestión, falta de tecnología, limitaciones en la formación y práctica docente y, en particular, ausencia de personal que provoca incumplimiento de convenios, falta de seguimiento de egresados y carencias en la bolsa de empleo. Esto último genera que los egresados dependan de sus relaciones sociales directas para obtener trabajo y que no acudan a las oficinas de apoyo de su propia institución.

The simplicity of the puzzle's structure and the low requirement of mathematical skills caused people to possess enormous interest in accepting challenges to unravel the puzzle. Therefore, developers have tried to hunt out algorithms so on get the variability of puzzles for human players so as that they could be even solved by programming. AI-based real-time Computer Vision and puzzle solver using webcam allows providing the pc system with the Sudoku puzzle in real-time and provides the optimum solution thereto. The system not only involves the use of AI but also makes use of Computer vision, thus combining the 2 major concepts. During this system the pc tries to analyse the environment by capturing the multiple-image bursts from the important time, and from those images, it might detect the Sudoku grid lines. For the detection of the grid, the use of the Hough Transform technique has been made. Then the numbers are detected using OCR technology i.e. Optical Character Recognition. The system gets the whole knowledge of the puzzle and then computes the last word solution by making the use of AI-based strategies for getting the optimal solution in efficient manner to the Sudoku Puzzle Problem.

Long-distance transmission of oil is usually performed in large-diameter steel pipelines, where water present therein may cause severe internal corrosion. An effective method of mitigating such corrosion is to inject organic corrosion inhibitors (CIs). Their surface adsorption, via heteroatom functionalities, can markedly enhance the corrosion resistance of metals. In this study, three CI model compounds with different head groups but the same alkyl tail length (-C14H29), specifically tetradecyltetrahydropyrimidinium (THP-C14), tetradecylphosphate ester (PE-C14), and tetradecylimidazolinium (IMID-C14), were synthesized, their purities being determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) of each compound were measured using surface tensiometry (Du Noüy ring) and fluorescence spectroscopy techniques, with differences being found between these indirect and direct methods. In addition, linear polarization resistance was used to determine inhibition efficiencies (IEs) for carbon steel immersed in a 5 wt% NaCl electrolyte saturated with CO2. CI surface saturation concentrations, with maximum IEs, were compared with the determined CMCs. Excellent IEs were observed at concentrations of THP-C14, PE-C14, and IMID-C14 which do not correspond with their CMCs, the differences involved being significantly greater than what was previously reported for tetradecylbenzyldimethylammonium (BDA-C14). These results demonstrate that there is no direct link between CMC and metal surface saturation/corrosion IE that can be made on a generalized basis for the different head groups but with the same tail length CI, indicating that the selection of the appropriate CI concentration for an industrial application should not be based on CMC alone.
