Fitness Discourse through Individual Posts on Instagram
Authors: Simanjuntak Magda Sabrina Theofany
Published: June 2024

Background: The discourse on fitness is one of the prevalent discussions in contemporary society. The fitness discourse, as understood today, is rooted in scientific research and exerts influence over other discourses related to fitness. The most widely embraced notion of fitness by the general public revolves around health. Purpose: Researchers argue that social media has become a means of panopticism, where attributes such as physical activities and sportswear serve as representations of normalized body fitness. This study employs Foucault's arguments in observing the daily posts of social media users regarding body fitness discourses as a form of panopticism. Methods: The research embraces a post-positivist paradigm and employs a mixed methods approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative segment employs surveys, while the qualitative aspect utilizes in-depth interviews with three informants. Conclusion: The findings of this study illustrate how panopticism manifests in social media posts, encouraging individuals who utilize these platforms to partake in physical activities. Furthermore, the study uncovers how social media posts not only depict the existing reality but also facilitate a simulated reality. Implications: This research underscores how the discourse surrounding body fitness, disseminated through media practices, is perpetuated to bolster dominant groups within the cultural industry.

Authors: Silva Vergara Claudia Oriana
Published: June 2024

La pandemia por el covid-19 permitió visualizar la importancia del Liderazgo educativo y su reactivación en el aula recoge los aprendizajes que la experiencia sanitaria ha dejado, esto lleva a un cambio de paradigma propuesto desde lo vivido en esta crisis, en donde la trasformación es rescatar los saberes acumulados de las comunidades educativas, quienes han impulsado nuevas formas de ejercer la labor pedagógica.
En Educación Parvularia, se relevan las interacciones pedagógicas en el aula como irremplazables y en este sentido un cambio de paradigma es una propuesta sobre cómo se hace y se vive en cada contexto educativo la política pública y el Liderazgo educativo, reconociendo los saberes que cultiva el sistema y potenciarlos. Además, en la educación inicial surge el Marco para la Buena Dirección y Liderazgo en Educación Parvularia, el cual se crea en pandemia, como un marco orientador de prácticas esperadas para la calidad educativa en este nivel, considerando las distintas realidades que suponen desafíos para los equipos directivos, quienes deben incorporar múltiples formas de gestión, tanto en lo administrativo y en lo pedagógico.
 Respondiendo a la necesidad de contar con una política educativa que consolide el rol directivo en un mundo globalizado y desafiante, con creciente demanda al respeto por la diversidad y las identidades locales, permitiendo reflexionar acerca el tipo de párvulo a formar, en base a las características propias del nivel educativo y de la primera infancia
EXPERIENCIA DE EVALUACIÓN FORMATIVA Y COMPARTIDA EN EL ÁREA DE EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA EN EL GRADO TRANSICIÓN
Authors: Giraldo Ruiz Carolina
Published: June 2024

Este texto describe cómo se llevó a cabo una experiencia de evaluación formativa y compartida en el grado transición (5-6 años), con la participación de 32 estudiantes de una institución educativa pública de Medellín (Colombia), específicamente desde el área de educación física. La evaluación incluyó la autoevaluación actitudinal de los estudiantes y la evaluación de la enseñanza a partir del diseño, ajuste y adaptación de dos rúbricas y el diario pedagógico. Tras el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje se concluye que es viable y pertinente realizar una evaluación donde niños y niñas desde edades tempranas participen y se reconozca su voz como interlocutor válido en la evaluación de la enseñanza. De igual manera, la reflexión a través del diario pedagógico permitió descubrir e implementar herramientas didácticas y pedagógicas para mejorar el proceso de enseñanza mientras se llevaba a cabo.
El Surgimiento de la empresa hotelera moderna en la periferia
Authors: Vargas Pacheco Cristina , Cerna Sabogal José
Published: June 2024

En el extremo norte peruano, en Piura, región con una dinámica económica sustentada en la explotación agrícola y de hidrocarburos, así como en el comercio; la inversión en el rubro hotelero se realizó de forma tímida, interviniendo capitales estatales como privados. En ese tránsito, coexistirán establecimientos que supieron transformarse con el devenir de las décadas, como es el caso del hotel Colón (ca. 1890), con aquellos imbuidos por una lógica hotelera moderna, como el hotel de Turistas (1943) y el hotel Cristina (1954). La apuesta privada por la empresa hotelera no siempre se condijo con los retornos esperados, siendo las dificultades económicas, moneda común de la vida de estos emprendimientos.
Este trabajo se inscribe dentro de la narrativa de la historia del turismo en el Perú, pero desde una perspectiva regional. El objetivo de esta investigación es comprender cómo se va construyendo la lógica turística en las regiones peruanas, en este caso, a partir de una aproximación a una parte fundamental de esta industria, como es la hotelería, lo que realizamos a través de una revisión de esa suerte de “evolución” de los alojamientos locales mediante la reconstrucción del devenir de los tres casos arriba enunciados, durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. Para esta investigación se empleó una metodología cualitativa, basándonos en las fuentes archivísticas y hemerográficas existentes, mucha de ella dispersa, así como en la escasa bibliografía sobre el tema del turismo en las regiones, especialmente en la estudiada, en el período atendido. Así, a partir de una mirada a casos concretos, se propone un acercamiento a un aspecto escasamente abordado de la historia regional, de un área generalmente atendida por su economía extractiva.
Successful use of ketamine in reversing the paradoxical reactions to midazolam after failing flumazenil
Authors: Aldosari Abdullah Nasser , Alnashi Sinan
Published: June 2024

Midazolam is generally effective and safe to be widely used in the management of seizures, procedural sedation, and anxiolytic. However, paradoxical reactions, though rare, present clinical challenges. Flumazenil is the preferred option for reversing the reactions. Additionally, ketamine, physostigmine, and haloperidol have been successfully used to counteract the adverse effects (AEs). Herein, we report an 11-year-old girl with epilepsy who was brought to the emergency department with a breakthrough seizure. Approximately 10 minutes after a midazolam administration, she developed increased agitation, confusion, uncontrollable crying, and excessive random movements. Despite receiving 4 doses of flumazenil, no improvement was observed. However, the AEs ceased following the administration of ketamine. This report may increase awareness of the uncommon AEs and equip clinicians to effectively handle such occurrences.

Published: June 2024

This study meticulously explores the intricate interplay between sustainable tourism and the preservation of cultural heritage, focusing on how tourism practices can foster the protection and revitalization of cultural and ethnic traditions within diverse communities in Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam (Pan et al., 2018). The research problem centers on understanding how sustainable tourism contributes to cultural preservation and the economic upliftment of ethnic minority groups. The research aims to unveil how sustainable tourism can act as a catalyst for cultural exchange, economic development, and the safeguarding of natural and cultural assets, with a particular emphasis on the involvement and empowerment of ethnic minority communities in the tourism development process (Datta et al., 2015). Employing multivariate linear regression as its primary research method, the study rigorously analyzes case studies to draw correlations between sustainable tourism activities and their impacts on cultural preservation. The main findings reveal that sustainable tourism practices significantly contribute to protecting cultural heritage, enhancing community participation, and fostering responsible tourism policies. These practices not only support the economic sustainability of ethnic minority groups but also ensure the conservation of their unique cultural identities. The implications of this research are profound, offering valuable insights for policymakers and tourism practitioners aiming to harmonize cultural heritage conservation with community well-being. By advocating for the integration of community perspectives into tourism planning and policy formulation, this study underscores the potential of sustainable tourism to serve as a powerful tool for cultural and economic revitalization, highlighting its importance in the broader context of cultural heritage management and sustainable development (Gould, 2018).

Published: June 2024

Background: Concomitant Wilms tumor (WT) and autosomal dominant
polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is exceedingly rare, presenting a
diagnostic and technical challenge to pediatric surgical oncologists.
The simultaneous workup and management of these disease processes is
incompletely described. Procedure: We performed a retrospective analysis
of patients treated at our institution with concomitant diagnoses of WT
and ADPKD. We also review the literature on the underlying biology and
management principles of these conditions. Results: We present three
diverse cases of concomitant unilateral WT and ADPKD who underwent
nephrectomy. One patient had preoperative imaging consistent with ADPKD
with confirmatory testing postoperatively, one was found to have
contralateral renal cysts intraoperatively with confirmatory imaging
post-nephrectomy, and one was diagnosed in childhood post-nephrectomy.
All patients are alive at last follow-up, and the patient with longest
follow-up has progressed to end-stage kidney failure requiring
transplantation and dialysis in adulthood. All patients underwent
germline testing and were found to have no cancer predisposition
syndrome or pathogenic or likely-pathogenic variants for WT. Conclusion:
Concomitant inheritance of ADPKD and development of WT is extremely
rare, and manifestations of ADPKD may not present until late childhood
or adulthood. ADPKD is not a known predisposing condition for WT. When
ADPKD diagnosis is made by family history, imaging, and/or genetic
testing before WT diagnosis and treatment, the need for extensive
preoperative characterization of cystic kidney lesions in children and
increased risk of post-nephrectomy kidney failure warrant further
discussion of surgical approach and peri-operative management
strategies.

Authors: Cai Youxi , Zhang Ruiting , Zhang Hao , Li Xiaolei
Published: June 2024

This study validated an UPLC-MS/MS analysis method to simultaneously
detect twelve cannabinoids. The concentration-response relationship for
all analyzed cannabinoids was linear with R values
> 0.99 using the developed method, the relative standard
deviations of recovery for the three levels of spiked samples are
between 66.1%~104.1%. The method was used to analyze
43 industrial hemp flower and leaf samples, with the data being
statistically analyzed. The analysis results showed that the
cannabinoids content varied significantly among different varieties and
different pretreatment methods, sample heating treatment led to the
decarboxylation of acidic cannabinoids and the mutual conversion of
cannabinoids. Based on the statistical analysis of the cannabinoids,
hemp from different regions and different varieties were well
distinguished by the PLS-DA model, with the main contributing substances
being Cannabidiol, Δ -tetrahydrocannabinol, and Δ
-tetrahydrocannabinol.
Vegetation restoration potential in China's drylands under water constraint
Authors: Lin Huiqing , Li Yan , Song Lisheng , Sang Shan , Hou Chengcheng , Zi Shuangshuang
Published: June 2024

As an essential pathway for nature-based solutions, vegetation
restoration can effectively absorb carbon sequestration and mitigate
global warming. However, the excessive water consumption by vegetation
expansion may create potential water conflicts between natural
ecosystems and human systems, and even exacerbate local water shortages,
especially in water-limited dryland regions. By evaluating water
availability using multiple datasets, this study explored the vegetation
restoration potential and the allowable vegetation conversion in China’s
drylands under the constraint of water availability. We found that the
additional water resources available for vegetation restoration in
China’s drylands were 2.7 ± 11 mm (median ± SD) from 2003 to 2018 but it
decreased over the period (-1.15 mm yr-1). 45.0% of the drylands area
had water deficits, after considering existing vegetation and human
water consumption. Under current water constraints, additional gross
primary productivity (GPP) that could be restored ranged from 4% to 7%
depending on vegetation types (7.1% for forests, 6.1% for grasslands,
4.3% for irrigated crops, and 5.6% for rain-fed crops). In water
surplus areas, primarily in the south and east of China’s drylands, most
vegetation conversions toward higher-water-consumption types were
allowed to occur. In water deficit areas, the west of drylands, even
converting all the existing vegetation to less water-intensive types
would not compensate for the water deficit in most regions, suggesting
local vegetation may have exceeded the water-carrying capacity. Our
research highlights the importance of the potential water constraint of
vegetation restoration in drylands and provides guidance for
decision-making vegetation restoration while ensuring water
sustainability.
Serotype spectrum of S. pneumoniae in children after the introduction of pneumococcal vaccine in Uzbekistan
Authors: Shamansurova E. A. , Kostinov M. P.
Published: June 2024

Assessment of the effect of vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae on the serotype spectrum of pneumococcus.

Materials and methods. Bacteriological study of nasopharyngeal mucus of 247 healthy children attending kindergarten, as well as serotyping of the obtained samples. The specific immune response to various serotypes of S. pneumoniae was determined by ELISA.

Results. A bacteriological study of nasopharyngeal mucus from 247 healthy children attending kindergarten showed that S. pneumoniae was isolated from 35.6% (20) of practically healthy children. When serotyping the isolated samples, the most common pneumococcal serotypes were 15A/F, 6 A/B, 9 A /V and 9 F, then in frequency 5 and 7 A/F, 23F serotypes. A study of specific antibodies to pneumococcus in vaccinated children showed a high level of immune response. Thus, it was found that vaccination with commercial pneumococcal vaccines protects the majority of vaccinated children. To assess the effectiveness of vaccination, it is necessary to study the circulation of serotypes in children after vaccination.

Published: June 2024

The reproductive success of mosquitoes is heavily influenced by females' ability to select suitable oviposition sites for the proper development of their offspring. Many of these potential habitats may harbor predators, and the detection of these predators is crucial for assessing the risk of predation, which can, in turn, influence the behavior of the prey. However, there are often trade-offs to consider, which can impact the life history of these organisms. In our study, we investigated the oviposition preferences and larval behavioral responses of the Aedes aegypti mosquito when exposed to cues from predators and the actual presence of predation by Libellulidae (Odonata) larvae. We observed the mosquito's choices regarding oviposition with and without predation cues for a duration of ten weeks, following 48 hours of exposure. Additionally, we measured larval behavior across various treatments, including those with predation cues, predator cues, the presence of larvae, and controls with only water. Our findings revealed that the highest preference for oviposition occurred in containers with high organic matter content, regardless the presence of both predator cues and actual predators. Furthermore, we noted significant changes in larval behavior in response to predation cues, including evasive behaviors. When facing the risk of predation, larvae spent more time near the container's edges and exhibited discrete feeding behaviors or avoidance of the risk of predation. Conversely, in the absence of predation risk, larvae explored the entire container, swimming vigorously. These results highlight the significance of anti-predatory behaviors triggered by the recognition of predation cues in the context of Ae. aegypti's reproductive success.

Authors: Zhuravel S. V. , Kuznetsova N. K. , Korotkova E. A. , Mustafayeva S. A. , Dolgasheva N. S. , Mikhailov I. P.
Published: June 2024

Background. Аnesthesia for carotid endarterectomy can be used as a combined endotracheal anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and also a combination of combined endotracheal anesthesia with regional anesthesia. Studies have shown that the combination of endotracheal anesthesia with regional anesthesia significantly reduces the need for analgesics after surgery, and the use of levobupivacaine as a local anesthetic reduces the incidence of adverse events.

Aim. To compare the advantages and disadvantages of the combined anesthesia (the combination of endotracheal with regional anesthesia) and the regional anesthesia with sedation using levobupivacaine.

Material and methods. In a prospective single-center study, patients were allocated into 2 groups. In group 1 (n=40), a general anesthesia was performed using desflurane in combination with the regional anesthesia of the superficial cervical plexus. In group 2 (n=40), a blockade of the superficial cervical plexus and deep cervical plexus was achieved. Levobupivacaine was used as a local anesthetic in both groups.

Results. The study showed a significantly (p<0.05) greater number of intraoperative hypertension (BPsys more than 170 mm Hg) episodes in patients of group 1 making 10(25%) versus 4(10%) in group 2, and the presence of hypotension defined as blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg in 5 (12.5 %) patients of group 1 during surgery. In addition, tachycardia (heart rate more than 90 beats per minute) was significantly (p <0.05) more often recorded in group 1: in 8 patients (20%) versus 4 (10%) in group 2. In both groups 1 and 2, adverse events were noted: pain in the intervention area in 4 (10%) patients of group 2, positional discomfort in 3 (7.5%) patients of group 2, sensation of shortness of breath and anxiety in 1 (2.5%) patient of group 2, postoperative nausea in 3 (7.5%) patients of group 1, and postoperative vomiting in 2 (5%) patients of group 1. The time spent in the operating room was significantly longer (p<0.05) in group 1 than in group 2: 110±15 minutes versus 75±12, respectively.

Conclusion. Regional anesthesia reduces the patient's time in the operating room, but the presence of "operating room effect" reduces patient satisfaction compared to general anesthesia in combination with regional anesthesia. Levobupivacaine is effective and safe for both the isolated regional anesthesia and as a component of the combined endotracheal anesthesia for carotid endarterectomy.

Introduction. In conditions of the Emergency Cardiology Department, a timely and differential diagnosis of myocardial pathology is especially important in the absence of visible focal changes and significant coronary artery stenosis. This group of patients includes recipients of a transplanted heart, when it is difficult to count on the high sensitivity of perfusion images alone. This can be explained by the diffuse, balanced distribution of ischemia.

Objective. To present the possibilities of perfusion myocardial single photon emission computed tomography synchronized with electrocardiography for a detailed assessment of the functional condition of both ventricles of the transplanted heart

Material and methods. We have presented three clinical case reports of the patients with different pathology of the transplanted heart who referred themselves to the emergency cardiology clinic and underwent electrocardiographysynchronized perfusion myocardial single photon emission computed tomography for diagnostic purposes.

Results. In all the cases presented, the radionuclide study influenced making the diagnosis and changing the treatment tactics. In the first case, it was possible to identify focal myocardial changes, for which coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention with thromboextraction were immediately performed. In the second case, the image analysis reflecting the function of the myocardium (polar maps of wall movement and systolic thickening) allowed us to note a low efficacy of treatment for the transplanted heart rejection. In the third clinical case, the initial single photon emission computed tomography suggested the inflammatory nature of changes in the myocardium, which was verified by the results of endomyocardial biopsy.

Conclusion. In the presented clinical cases, the urgently performed electrocardiography-synchronized perfusion myocardial single photon emission computed tomography made it possible to perform invasive interventions in time and thereby contribute to the recovery of the graft functional state and patient's condition improvement.

The experiment was conducted during the month of February and March, 2023 at Livestock Research Station, Kamdhenu University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, India to evaluate the effect of dietary addition of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed on growth performance, haemato-biochemical profile and faecal microbiota of Kankrej calves. Eighteen Kankrej calves were randomly divided into three treatment groups, viz. Basal diet (control), Basal diet+5 g animal-1 day-1 of fennel seed powder supplementation and Basal diet+10 g animal-1 day-1 of fennel seed powder supplementation for a period of 60 days. Results revealed that there was numerically higher body weight gains were observed in groups fed 5 and 10 g of fennel seed daily than the control, the difference was statistically not significant (p>0.05) among the treatment groups. The mean faecal counts (log10 cfu g-1 in fresh faeces) of lactobacillus were increased, while coliform were reduced in groups fed 5 and 10 g of fennel seed daily as compared to control group. There was no effect (p>0.05) on the haemoglobin, haematocrit, total erythrocytes count and total leucocytes count among the treatment groups. No difference (p>0.05) was found in serum levels of total proteins, albumin, globulin, urea, triglycerides, cholesterol, ALT and AST concentrations among the treatment groups. It may be concluded that dietary fennel seed powder supplementation in calves improved growth performance and had beneficial effect on faecal microbiota with higher faecal lactobacillus count and lower faecal coliform count. Fennel seed supplementation did not affect haemato-biochemical profile of calves.

Human existence is heavily dependent on availability of electricity, and as such, poor performance of electric power systems in Nigeria often leads to unfavourable circumstances resulting from the failure of most electricity dependent systems. This study appraises the power generation system of a steam turbine power plant in Nigeria. Operational performance analysis was performed using productivity, profitability, and price recovery indices as measures of performance. Operational analyses revealed the average productivity, profitability, and price recovery indices of the power plant to be 1.05, 1.06, and 1.19, respectively, while their corresponding monetary contributions were ₦26,638,673,643.35; ₦39,854,453,032.67 and ₦13,215,779,389.32. On the long run, it was discovered that the performance indices and their monetary contributions were directly related. In conclusion, the necessity of performance analysis as a critical appraisal tool has been established. Carrying out similar actions across the power system value chain will ensure the optimum operation of the entire system.
Between Desire and Anxiety: Music Performances during The COVID-19 Period In West Sumatera
Authors: Muchtar Asril , Rovylendes Adjuoktoza
Published: June 2024

This article discusses the desire and anxiety of mutual attraction experienced by traditional and popular artists in West Sumatra during the COVID-19 pandemic. Musicians in tradition and entertainment who rely on the survival of music performance services are under heavy pressure by the COVID-19 pandemic situation because performances are rarely performed, even banned. Musicians committed to the creative field of creation experience the same thing. Live music performances are considered to be the cause of the gathering of many people, which results in being vulnerable to the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. However, they still channel the desire to perform live with the risk of getting in the way. Some are creative, using digital internet technology and social media to perform virtually. The research method used in collecting data is a mixture of field and virtual research. The tug-of-war between desire and anxiety is realized through live and virtual performances with non-maximal results.

The model was implemented on undergraduate students of different educational levels in the Electrical Engineering (EE) Department at HBCU. The model was also extended to carefully chosen high and middle schools. These middle and high school students serve as a pipeline to the university, with a particular emphasis on fostering growth within the EE Department. The model aligns well with the core mission of the EE Department, aiming to enhance the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of students, ensuring that they are qualified to work in industry or to pursue graduate studies. The implemented model prepares students for outstanding STEM careers. It also increases enrolment, student retention, and the number of underrepresented minority graduates in a technology-based workforce.

Three Root Causes for the Impasse in Reputation Measurement for Higher Education Institutions
Authors: Redler Joern , Morschheuser Petra
Published: June 2024

Monitoring the reputation of Higher Education Institutions is a key challenge. Despite decades of research and theory in Higher Education marketing addressing this issue, a definitive method for capturing and monitoring reputation of such institutions has yet to emerge. This paper argues that research into a theoretically sound method for capturing and monitoring the reputation of Higher Education Institutions has stalled due to three significant obstacles: (a) the complexity of defining the construct of reputation itself, (b) ongoing disputes regarding the appropriate methods of measurement for the constructs of reputation, (c) insufficient tailoring of the construct of reputation to the distinctive nature of Higher Education Institutions.
Degradation of hydroxychloroquine in aqueous solutions under electron beam treatment

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), a 4-amino quinoline derivative, has antimalarial and anti-inflammatory activity and was most recently proposed in the treatment of SARS-COVID-19. Its pharmacokinetics and toxic side effects necessitate the monitoring of its presence in the environment and its removal from wastewater. In this study, HCQ was removed from an aqueous solution with a removal efficiency of between 80% and 90% under electron beam (EB) irradiation. The degradation of HCQ was propagated by reactions involving both the hydroxyl radical and aqueous electron. The degradation was observed to follow a pseudo-first-order kinetic reaction. The applied radiation dose, pH, and initial HCQ concentration were influential in the degradation efficiency under EB irradiation. Acidic and alkaline pH favored the removal of HCQ under EB irradiation. Even though the initial HCQ was successfully degraded, it was not completely mineralized. The TOC and chemical oxygen demand (COD) remained at a relatively stable level following EB irradiation of the aqueous solutions. This is attributed to the formation of other organic compounds that were not degraded under the investigated experimental conditions.
Influence of the type of fuel used on the content of gamma radionuclides in the soot from the smoke ducts of the home furnaces
Authors: Stobiński Marcin
Published: June 2024

This paper presents the results of the measurements of gamma radioactive isotopes in soot samples from 15 different chimneys of household furnaces fired with various types of solid fuel. Soot samples were collected by the chimney sweep during the mandatory periodic cleaning of the chimneys. The γ-spectrometry technique using the high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector was employed for radiometry of the above-mentioned soot. It was found that the determined activity of gamma isotopes in soot is at a level similar to that in fly ash from power plants around the world. Artificial 137Cs was detected only in the soot from the combustion of biofuel or mixed fuel. The results obtained were chemometrically analyzed to find the relationship between the fuel used and the gamma isotope content in the soot. The analysis of 137Cs, 40K, 228Th, and 226Ra is sufficient to differentiate between the soot obtained and tested, and it varied with the fuel type burned (fossil fuels/biofuels).
