Safety of Aircrew and Airline Passengers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Narrative Review
Authors: Minoretti Piercarlo
Published: December 2024

During 2020, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly spread worldwide and caused over 59,000,000 confirmed cases of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), a mild-to-severe respiratory disease that generated a globally unexpected increase in hospitalizations and intensive care unit admissions. COVID-19 – declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, by the World Health Organization – is substantially affecting the aviation transportation system worldwide.

In an effort to mitigate the pandemic, nearly all countries adopted preventive and containment measures – including lockdown or restriction to movements – to decrease human-to-human transmission. As a consequence of travel restrictions, a considerable drop in air passenger demand occurred, although in-flight transmission SARS-CoV-2 cases have been limited to date. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic generated occupational health issues on aviation personnel. Given the magnitude of the disruptions, the role of governmental authorities and legislators is crucial to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Particularly, attention should be given to protect both aircrew members’ and passengers’ health and safety, while minimizing the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. The aim of this review is to provide an overview on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation industry and to highlight the need of critically improving pre-flight diagnostic tests execution to protect the health of aircrew members and ensure airline passengers’ safety. Optimizing communications, before and during the flight, to keep aircrew members and passengers properly informed on all travel requirements will be also crucial.

Published: December 2024

Infections with hookworms (Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale) remain a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. However, the information about the distribution of each species is inaccurate in many countries since their traditional diagnosis is based only on the identification of eggs in stool under a microscope. We aimed to identify the prevalence of hookworm species using morphological stools to identify L3 larvae to gain insights into the distribution of both species in five regions of Cameroon. Samples were collected from schoolchildren in five regions and 34 subdivisions of Cameroon and examined using the Kato-Katz method. We randomly selected a total of 157 samples among hookworm's positive stool samples. They were cultured using the Harada-Mori test-tube technique. The morphological identification of a total of 8063 isolated hookworm filariform larvae L3 was conducted following established criteria. The sensitivity rate to the Harada-Mori technique was 58 %. Among the 8063 L3 larvae identified during this study, 230 (2.95 %) of L3 larvae were identified as A. duodenale, and 7833 (97.15 %) of L3 larvae were identified as N. americanus. A. duodenale was observed only in the Mouanko subdivision in the Littoral region. The complementary use of the Kato Katz and the Harada-Mori culture techniques to screen hookworm infections contributes to the differentiation of N. americanus and A. duodenale as the two hookworm species in Cameroon. An extended molecular study in the localities where only N. americanus has been identified is necessary to reach more conclusions on the distribution of hookworm species in Cameroon.

Authors: Petrikovszki R. , Gódor A. , Nagy P. I. , Selmeczi D. , Simon B. , Tóth F.
Published: December 2024

A 25-year-old intensive monoculture of cucumber (Cucumis sativus ‘Monolit F1’) has been chosen for monitoring the effect of continuous fertilization, drip irrigation and various soil disinfection on free-living nematodes in soil. Densities, relative abundance of nematode genera, trophic groups and c-p classes, in addition, numerous nematological indices were determined besides certain soil properties. Concerning the nematological indices, all the values proved a stressed, depleted and unstable environment with degraded food web condition. The exaggerated application of fertilizers through irrigation caused high salinity values (0.62 %) which is much higher than the indicated toxicity threshold (0.4 %) for cultivated plants. The number of individuals of the bacterivore Acrobeloides and Cuticularia genera, which have a very high stress tolerance, was outstanding in the area. Besides juveniles, the appearance of Meloidogyne incognita males was also recorded which could lead to a change in the genetic composition of the population to adapt to environmental stressors. All these changes may result from salt stress indicated by intensive drip irrigation and the use of artificial fertilizers.
A contribution on first report of morphogenetic characterization of Anisakis typica parasitizing Indian sand whiting, Sillago sihama from Central west coast of India
Authors: Yadav A. , Jaiswal N. , Malhotra S. K.
Published: December 2024

The search for hitherto undiscovered larvae of Anisakis sp. from marine habitat in the Indian sub-continent yielded A. typica (Dujardin) larvae hitherto unconfirmed. The present study is the maiden attempt to report 3rd stage larvae of A. typica from the reef-associated Sillago sihama in Arabian Sea off the coast of Goa, which has been identified recently as reef-populated area within the maritime boundary of India. The morphometry of 3rd stage larvae has been presented with a record of molecular characterization. In the context of current study, the natural prevalence of A. typica larvae in marine piscine hosts of Arabian Sea in India was 6.84 % and of co-occurring Rotundocollarette capoori (Yadav, Kapoor and Malhotra) in the same fish was 13.65 %. The roundworms were confirmed to be A. typica by application of the molecular and genetic characterization based on ITS1, ITS2 and 18S rDNA sequence analysis. The infestation of reef-associated fishes in this study by anisakid worms study provided an opportunity to explore mechanism of ecological associations of coral reefs with parasitization in future.
Infective capacity of the commercial nematode Steinernema carpocapsae parasitizing Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in Yucatán México
Authors: Ávila-López M. B. , Aguirre-Ayala D. , VidaL-Martínez V. M.
Published: December 2024

Dengue is currently the most important arbovirosis in the world, affecting over 120 countries in both tropical and sub-tropical areas, with 2500 million people at risk. Due to global warming, it is expected that Aedes aegypti will be able to survive at higher latitudes, increasing the number of people at risk. Therefore, it is crucial to develop control strategies for the mosquito to prevent its environmental impact. The objective of this paper was to determine the concentration of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Steinernema carpocapsae that produces the highest percentage mortality of Ae. aegypti larvae under normal environmental conditions in Yucatán (6.9 – 8.7 mg/l; temperature 25.9 – 31.5°C; pH 7.20 – 8.10). The S. carpocapsae mode of action consists of Xenorhabdus nematophila bacterial release in the haemocele insect, which produces septicaemia and consequently kills the mosquito larvae 24 – 48 h after intake. As for the methodology, a commercial EPN strain was used for experimental infection. The experimental design was a 70-h static bioassay that exposed 10 mosquito larvae per experimental unit (400-ml flask and five replicates per treatment) to four nematode concentrations (1250, 2500, 3125 and 3750 nematodes per ml) plus controls. The best treatment was with 1250 nematodes/ml, which caused 54 % mortality with respect to controls after 70 h (one-way ANOVA; F
5.72, 0.05; p < 0.04). We concluded that S. carpocapsae is a promising biological control tool for killing Ae. aegypti larvae at an experimental level. However, it is still necessary to determine its performance at higher volume scales in real-life conditions.

Authors: Bogach M. , Liulin P. , Bohach D. , Rachynskyi A.
Published: December 2024

The development of turkey farming is significantly restrained by parasitic diseases, which have become widespread and cause significant economic losses to specialized- and homestead farms. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of endoparasites in turkeys of different age groups under different maintenance systems and the nature of patho-anatomical changes depending on the course of the disease. A total of 1,869 samples of fecal from turkeys were studied. From turkeys kept in poultry houses, 925 fecal samples and 944 fecal samples from free-range turkeys were examined. In turkeys that were kept in a poultry house, the total infection with endoparasites was 59.8 %, while in free range, it was 63.3 %. The most common in turkeys 30-60 days old from poultry houses are Histomonas meleagridis (21.5 %), Eimeria spp. (11.5 %) and Cryptosporidium baileyi (15.5 %) and in free-range turkeys – Histomonas meleagridis (15.6 %), Eimeria spp. (7.2 %) and Cryptosporidium baileyi (10.8 %). Cryptosporidium baileyi was not observed in turkeys 360 days old or older. Tetratrichomonas gallinarum was most frequently recorded in turkeys 90 – 120 days old from poultry houses (3.8 %) and turkeys 150 – 180 days old in free range (3.7 %). Ascaridia dissimilis is most common in free-range turkeys 90 – 120 days old (11.8 %) and turkeys 150 – 180 days old from poultry houses (9.5 %). Heterakis gallinarum was primarily recorded in turkeys 150 – 180 days old under both systems of keeping with a value range from 16.2 to 17.2 %. Infestation of 150 – 180-day-old free-range turkeys by cestodes Davainea meleagridis and Raillietina echinobothrida was 15.0 % and 12.9 %, respectively. Thus, the diversity and prevalence of gastrointestinal tract invasions depend on the age and housing system of the poultry.

Authors: Micik Jelena , Dimovski Aleksandar , Sterjev Zoran , Shuturkova Ljubica , Grozdanova Aleksandra
Published: December 2024

Background

The high prevalence of resistant microorganisms indicates a multidisciplinary approach, which will ensure efficiency and balance between resistance therapy of choice and the implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) program in intensive unit care (ICU).

Objectives

The objectives are based on the assessment of AMS in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit (CICU), by determination with the reduction of: inotropic support, length of antibiotic treatment, and need for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Material and methods

The research is a retrospective, group comparative, analytical cross-sectional study, in the period from 2020-2023, within the Cardiosurgery department, at Acibadem Sistina. 1277 patients participated in the research, divided into two groups: group 1 (2020-2021) and group 2 (2022-2023). Primary endpoints investigated: inotropic support, need for RRT and length of antibiotic treatment. Secondary endpoints investigated: optimization of antibiotic therapeutic regimen and clinical outcome assessment of patients (survival).

Results

The inotropic support during 24, 48 and 72 h was statistically significantly lower in group 2. A statistically significant shorter length of time for antibiotic treatment was determined in patients in group 2 (p=0.000), as well as a lower value of the need for RRT. A statistically significant difference in time to event (fatal outcome) was determined between the two groups (p=0.000). A significant difference (p=0.000) was determined in the prescription and optimization of the therapeutic regimen.

Conclusion

Integrating AMS, initial comprehensive microbiological screening and application of biomarkers in the CICU, established appropriately, will result in improved overall clinical outcome for patients.

Authors: Zikova Sanja Djambazovska , Arsovska Anita , Samoilovska Danijela Vojtikiv , Jovevska Svetlana , Gongo Fatlume Adili
Published: December 2024

Objective

To determine the possible role of patent foramen ovale (PFO) as indicated by a right to left shunt and cryptogenic stroke in patients aged ≥ 60 years and to compare the prevalence of patent foramen ovale with stroke of known cause.

Methods

We prospectively examined the prevalence of PFO using contrast enhanced colour Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (bubble-cTCD) in 86 consecutive patients aged ≥60 years with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or stroke and 86 consecutive patients aged <60 years with TIA/stroke as a control group. Patients with cryptogenic stroke were compared to stroke patients with known cause.

Results

A significantly higher prevalence of PFO in patients with cryptogenic compared to patients with stroke of known cause was registered in the patients aged < 60 years (56.6% vs.18.8%) and in patients aged ≥ 60 years (37.14% vs.11.76%), respectively. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, hypertension and coronary disease showed that the existence of R-to-L shunt (RLS) was independently associated with cryptogenic stroke in both, in the younger group (odds ratio 4.012; 95% CI1.323 to 12.171, p =0.0143.70) and in the older group (odds ratio 3.197; 95% CI 1.140 to 10.877, p=0.037).

Conclusion

Our findings suggest that PFO is strongly associated with cryptogenic stroke in patients aged ≥ 60 years. Bubble – cTCD was feasible and suitable as a first-line method for the detection of PFO in older patients.
On the Poetics of Migration, Black Geographies, and Nervous Conditions
Authors: Akpomuje Paul , Babalola Adesoji , Njoroge Milka , McKittrick Katherine
Published: December 2024

This conversation began in Winter 2023, at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. At the time we were collectively studying Black geographies. As faculty and students who are part of the Black diaspora yet have very different experiences of displacement, our discussions revolved around the uneasy connections between education, university life, migration, and Blackness.
Inspired by the writings of Simone Browne, on January 25, 2024, the Revolutionary Demand for Happiness working group organized a conversation that revolved around the poetic possibilities of migration, mobility, immobility, borders, and boundaries. Paul Akpomuje and Aaliyah Strachan organized the event, and it was moderated by Katherine McKittrick. Akpomuje, a Nigerian poet and doctoral student in the Queen’s University Faculty of Education, read a set of his poems that discussed themes such as surveillance, visas, travel, and home. The poems were paired with community stories about displacement and belonging; we made connections between over-policing, governmentality and government papers, racial capitalism, family and kinship ties, and the difficult and onerous work of traveling as members of the Black diaspora. We also homed in on understanding the racialized underpinnings of the “international student” category at Queen’s University—a figure that is monetarily required-desired, yet is also rendered institutionally unrooted and out of place.
O professor de educação física como intelectual:
Authors: Monteiro Fernanda Yully dos Santos , Furtado Renan Santos
Published: December 2024

O estudo discute sobre o professor de educação física como intelectual na educação escolar a partir de contribuições teóricas de Antonio Gramsci. Destarte, fez-se uso de um conjunto de posições de autores, a exemplo de Bracht, referentes à disciplina educação física como componente curricular; e do conceito de intelectual de Gramsci. Como síntese, aponta-se que o professor de educação física como intelectual se vincula a três dimensões: política, epistemológica e pedagógica. Além disso, pondera-se que um intelectual na perspectiva gramsciana reflete de forma crítica sobre a realidade e representa o coletivo e a organização de forma orgânica, o que lhe confere legitimidade dentro de determinada função ou profissão na sociedade.

The role of digital platforms in public administration
Authors: Starodubova Olesya Evgen'evna
Published: December 2024

The object of the study is public relations in the field of public administration. The subject of the study is a set of norms of administrative and information law that regulate relations arising in the process of digital transformation of public administration, as well as the creation and functioning of digital platforms. The author examined various approaches to defining public administration and analyzed the impact of digitalization on the quality of public administration. The strategic importance of digital platforms is noted - an integral element of the digital transformation of public administration as a national development goal of Russia, helping to increase its efficiency and citizen satisfaction with the quality of services provided in electronic form. Selected legislative initiatives in the field of functioning of digital platforms are covered. Legislative innovations in the field of personal data protection are analyzed. Information security trends are presented. The methodological basis of this study is the formal legal method, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and generalization. The main conclusions of the study are statements about the beginning of the transition to a platform model of public administration, the need to implement an additional set of legal, organizational and technological measures in connection with these processes, and to build a correct conceptual and categorical apparatus. Digital platforms in the field of public administration as technological complexes should simplify the processes of interaction between the state and citizens, the business community, and government bodies among themselves and promote economic growth, rather than contribute to the emergence of additional financial and administrative barriers.

Published: December 2024

Objetivo: Comparar o risco de sarcopenia por meio de circunferência da panturrilha versus circunferência da panturrilha ajustada em pacientes traumatizados. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional longitudinal prospectivo. A amostra foi composta por pacientes vítimas de trauma, internados por pelo menos 24 horas, no setor de emergência de um hospital terciário do Distrito Federal, com idade ≥18 anos. As variáveis analisadas foram o risco de sarcopenia, desnutrição e a circunferência da panturrilha. Resultados: No período do agosto de 2022 a agosto de 2023 foram avaliados 61 pacientes vítimas de trauma nos setores do pronto socorro do Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal.  Ao considerar o ajuste de panturrilha 22,9% dos pacientes sem risco de sarcopenia pelo SARC-CALF foram classificados com risco de sarcopenia ao ajustar a CP (p<0,05). Ao analisar a CP ajustada e diagnóstico nutricional observou-se diferença apenas entre não desnutridos e desnutridos moderados (p=0,020).Conclusão: O não ajuste da CP pode subestimar a classificação de risco de sarcopenia, especialmente em casos de obesidade sarcopênica.

Повышения продуктивности скота можно достичь при обеспечении полноценного кормления животных. Горский скот малопродуктивный, средняя живая масса 250 кг. Сроки нагула скота в целом определяются не только увеличением живой массы, убойным выходом повышается пищевая ценность мяса, возрастает эффективность производства говядины, что положительно сказывается на рентабельности хозяйства. Поэтому с учетом дефицита отдельных макро и микроэлементов в пастбищной траве в условиях горной местности Дагестана разработана минеральная смесь, состоящую из 21 г мононатрийфосфата, 7 г жженой магнезии, 72 мг сернокислой меди и 2,3 мг йодистого калия, которую задавали бычкам ежедневно в расчете на 1 голову, смешивая её с ячменной дертью. Установлено, что использование этой минеральной смеси в рационе горского скота в горной зоне республики Дагестан позволяет увеличивать среднесуточные приросты за период нагула животных на 16,4. Бычки получавшие минеральную подкормку на горных пастбищах достигали живой массы в 18ти месячном возрасте 306,6 кг, т.е. выше на 11,8 по сравнению с контролем при достоверной разнице (Р0,05). Они также имели преимущество по индексу сбитости, растянутости и костистости

Increased livestock productivity can be achieved while ensuring full feeding of animals. Mountain cattle unproductive, average live weight of 250 kg. Terms of feeding livestock as a whole are determined not only by an increase in live weight, the nutritional value of meat increases by its slaughter output, and the efficiency of beef production increases, which has a positive effect on the profitability of the farm. Therefore, taking into account the deficit of individual macro and microelements in pasture grass in the conditions of the mountainous area of Dagestan, a mineral mixture was developed consisting of 21 g of monosodium phosphate, 7 g of burnt magnesia, 72 mg of copper sulphate and 2.3 mg of potassium iodide, which was given daily to calves on 1 head, mixing it with barley dertyu. It has been established that the use of this mineral mixture in the diet of highland cattle in the mountainous zone of the republic of Dagestan allows for an increase in daily average increments over the feeding period by 16.4. Minets fed mineral dressing on mountain pastures reached a body weight at 18 months of age 306.6 kg, i.e. higher by 11.8 compared with the control with a significant difference (P0.05). They also had an advantage in the index of shedness, extension and costiness.

Authors: Katu Melanie , Brotherton Suzanne
Published: December 2024

In 2023, Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology launched a pilot initiative, ‘Wāhine Māia,’ to create space for ākonga wāhine (female students) studying towards a trade programme traditionally dominated by males. Building on some early successes, in 2024 we have maintained the kaupapa Māori framework and the collaborative mahi (work), and we will continue to evolve the format. The aim is to foster student retention and success through regular wānanga (workshops), whanaungatanga (networking) and wheako (sharing experiences). Wāhine Māia is a collaborative effort co-led by individuals from the Faculty of Primary Industries, Trades and Infrastructure and Te Haeata Māori Success. Also involved are the Careers and Employability, Learning Advisors, Māori Pacific Trades Training, Marketing, and Research teams. Without the breadth of kaimahi (staff) involvement, Wāhine Māia would have been difficult to launch and sustain. At the end of 2023, the co-leads presented at the MPATLAANZ Hui-Fono, sharing the cumulative feedback from ākonga Māori after each wānanga. We presented insights shared by ākonga Māori participants with the aim to highlight how Wāhine Māia supported them to feel confident and successful in their chosen trade. In addition, we emphasised the importance of collaboration and encouraged the audience of learning advisors to consider how they might add value to existing kaupapa and/or create a similar initiative with others at their respective institutes. This paper responds to requests for a more detailed outline of the project and the approved research evaluation which supported data collection and analysis.

Authors: Sheridan Brendan , Gurney Laura , Richardson Anthony
Published: December 2024

We share our experiences of developing and teaching a hybrid online-offline, intensive academic literacies course for first year undergraduate students. We position hybrid learning as valuable; however, we discuss the necessity of appropriately adapting online formats to enhance student access, engagement and resilience. In sharing what we did and what we learnt, we highlight what may be transferable for other practitioners.

UNRAVELING THE DRIVERS OF CUSTOMER LOYALTY IN SHOPEE INDONESIA: A META-ANALYSIS OF BRAND IMAGE, BRAND TRUST, E-SERVICE QUALITY, AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Authors: Cahyono Arjo Julian Grazius , Lasiyono Utung , Afkar Taudlikhul
Published: December 2024

This study aims to identify the factors influencing Shopee customer loyalty in Indonesia, focusing on brand image, brand trust, e-service, and customer satisfaction. The meta-analysis method is used to analyze the results of several relevant studies in this context. The meta-analysis results show that brand image has a significant positive relationship with customer loyalty, but is not significantly influenced by customer satisfaction. conversely, brand trust and e-service have a significant positive relationship with customer loyalty, and customer satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between these two factors and Shopee customer loyalty. These findings indicate that brand image has a strong direct influence on customer loyalty, while brand trust and e-service can enhance customer loyalty both directly and through customer satisfaction. This underscores the importance of building a strong brand image, high consumer trust, and good electronic services to increase customer loyalty on e-commerce platforms such as Shopee in Indonesia.

Effect of Different Growing Periods on Yield and Quality Characteristics in Artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) Production
Authors: Korkmaz Celil , Kurtar Ertan Sait
Published: December 2024

The present study was carried out to determine the performance of artichoke as an alternative vegetable crop in Konya's ecological conditions. Thus, Jade F1 (JD) and Bayrampaşa (BP) cultivars were planted for 2 planting periods (1st - May 20 and 2nd - June 10) and some growth characteristics, yield characteristics, and head characteristics were investigated. BP planted on 2nd period and the JD planted on 1st period produced remarkable stem development. BP had higher plant height values than JD and reached the highest plant height values with the increase in air temperature. BP and JD well adapted to the field conditions as the temperature increased and they had a relatively higher leaf number. The maximum stalk number with head per plant was determined as 10.65 in 2nd planting period and the JD had the highest total head number per decare (da) in 1st planting period with 7850 heads. Likewise, the average head number and total head weight with stalk were the highest with 7.85 per plant and 1613 kg da-1 in the 1st period in JD, respectively. JD had the highest head diameter (9.15 cm) in 2nd period, followed by JD (8.10 cm) and BP (7.40 cm) in 1st period. JD plants had the highest heads (9.36 cm) and the highest calycle diameters (9.93 cm) in the 2nd period. Eventually, comparative economic analysis was realized with tomato production, and the 1st planting period with JD was determined to be feasible in Konya conditions.

Authors: Sevinç Mehmet Sedat , Karatağ Nuran , Altındal Mesut
Published: December 2024

Düşük nemli ortamlarda özellikle depolama koşullarında yapılacak olan mücadele için düşük nemde virülensliğini sürdüren fungus izolatları elde etmek önemlidir. Bu çalışmada; standart toprak analizi yapılmış toprak örneklerinin, Tenebrio molitor kullanılarak düşük toprak nemi koşullarında virülensliğini sürdüren entomopatojen fungus izolatı elde etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda incelenen 16 toprak örneğinde, düşük bağıl nemde toprak nemi artırılmadan 4 toprak örneğinde fungal gelişim görülmüştür. Morfolojik tanılama sonucu; Beauveria bassiana, Cordyceps fumosorosea ve iki adetinin de Metarhizium anisopliae türü olduğu görülen izolatların, Tenebrio molitor larvaları üzerinde petri kaplarında biyoassay çalışmaları ile %100 ölüme sebep olduğu görülmüştür. Kadavra üzerinde misel gelişimi görülen Beauveria bassiana izolatı, plastik kaplarda steril toprak koşullarında 5 farklı spor yoğunluğunda denenmiş; 108 , 107, 106, 105, 104 konidi ml-1 dozları 9. günde sırasıyla; %60, %23.34, %19.34, %12.15 ve %14.17 bulunurken, 18 gün sonunda ise bu oranlar; %64; %43.34; %19.34; %15.72 ve %14.17 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Kontrol grubunda ölüm oranı; %0’ dır. Elde edilen izolatın 108 konidi ml-1 ve daha yüksek yoğunlukta kullanımının gıda depolama gibi düşük nem koşullarında yapılacak diğer çalışmalar için önemli bir potansiyeli olduğu ve detaylı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulduğu düşünülmektedir.

Published: December 2024

La emergencia sanitaria de 2020 implicó efectos financieros nunca antes vistos en las empresas, que las han llevado a hacerse preguntas como qué efecto tuvo en el desarrollo del negocio y qué hacer ante ese efecto. Sin embargo, para responder a estas interrogantes el análisis financiero tradicional no ha sido suficiente, ya que al solo determinar lo que sucedió en el pasado, no permite visualizar las potencialidades futuras de la empresa, de ahí la necesidad de implementar otro tipo de indicadores que proporcionen el desarrollo de las actividades empresariales y determinar cómo los diversos factores involucrados contribuyen al mejoramiento de la empresa y a la generación de valor. Por lo que bajo el marco teórico de la Gerencia Basada en el Valor, se conceptualizan los indicadores de valor  MVA, SVA, CFROI, Q de Tobin y EVA, como herramientas de medición de los efectos de diversos factores en la generación de valor de la empresa. Se concluye que en conjunto, estos indicadores proporcionan una visión completa y multidimensional del valor creado por la empresa, permitiendo a la gerencia tomar decisiones más informadas y estratégicas. La integración de estos indicadores en la GBV facilita una evaluación continua del desempeño, alinea los objetivos operacionales con los intereses de los accionistas, y fomenta la creación de valor sostenible en un entorno económico dinámico y competitivo.
