Background: Sodium ion is an essential ion that is implicated in many physiological functions. Recently, sodium ion was reported to facilitate the activation of Mu-Opioid Receptor (MOR) by binding at the allosteric site of the MOR. Zamzam water is water originated from Mecca. Couple of studies proved that Zamzam water has the therapeutic effect owing to its mineral. In this study, we want to determine the ion concentration of Zamzam water and then to investigate the effects of Zamzam water and co-treatment with methadone on the regulation of MOR-1gene after chronic morphine administration.

Materials and Methods: Zamzam water, tap water and normal mineral water were analyzed using Ion chromatography. Meanwhile, in animal study, 50 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups. All group of rat were made dependence on morphine using intraperitoneal injection except for normal group. Morphine dependent rats then were treated with methadone, Zamzam water and co-treatment methadone with Zamzam water for thirty days, respectively. The Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) of rat’s brain was dissected and subjected to real-time quantitative RT-PCR to determine the regulation of MOR-1 gene expression. The obtained data were analyzed using SPSS v.11 software, and one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Post-test.

Results: The data obtained showed that Zamzam water is significantly high in ion concentration compared to tap water and normal mineral water. Besides, the result from gene expression analysis showed co-treatment Zamzam water and methadone significantly prevented the downregulation of MOR as compared to methadone and Zamzam water treatment alone (P

Published: February 2018

Background: Muscle strength is an important component for performing different daily tasks and has significant effect on health. Grip strength can be considered as one of the parameters of the overall strength state of the individuals. This study aimed to evaluate immediate response of the capacity to gain handgrip strength after the application of acupuncture. Materials and Methods: The study was experimental, quantitative, and partially blind clinical trial with a control group. Sample consisted in 73 healthy volunteers of both sexes, not athletes, with average age 35 ± 10.01 years, which were divided by deterministic allocation with sequential alternation in three groups: acupuncture (GACP n=24), sham acupuncture (Gsham n=25) and control (GCRT n=24). Calibrated mechanical manual dynamometer and needles 0.25 x 40mm were used. The handgrip test was performed in all groups, in both hands. Average measures were used for statistical analysis, a procedure done before and after the intervention. GACP received needles in TE5 (Waiguan), ST36 (Zusanli) and GB34 (Yanglingquan). The Gsham received superficial needles placed out of the acupoints. Results: GACP showed a significant strength gain of 4.78 Kgf (p = 0.005), Gsham showed a non-significant gain of 1.13 Kgf (p = 0.370) and GCRT that did not receive acupuncture intervention showed a non-significant reduction of handgrip strength average of about 1.97 Kgf (p = 0.210). Conclusion: Acupuncture in a single intervention was able to promote an immediate significant average gain strength response in handgrip of 4.78 Kgf

Published: February 2018

Background: Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) has a history of almost 10,000 years with practice and experience

aspects. The existing information and experiences of physicians such as Avicenna clearly show the vast amount of

knowledge in the classification and treatment of pathogenic worms. The aim of this paper was the description of the

various types of helminths along with their treatment in medieval Persia and comparing them with new medical

findings.

Materials and Methods: We searched main Traditional Persian Medical and pharmacological texts about etiology,

manifestation, diagnosis and treatment of worms in the human digestive system and the out come was compared with

the data extracted from modern medical sources. A list of medicinal plants was also extracted from traditional

pharmacological books and the anthelmintic properties of these plants were checked in Google Scholar, Scopus,

PubMed and Ulrich's databases.

Results: The results show the existence of theories on pathogenicity, physiopathology, symptoms and the classification

of worms in TPM. TPM philosophers have divided worms into four groups and there is not great difference between

old Persian and Modern classification. The old Persian scholars have explained a treatment procedure using a list of 48

medicinal plants and the anthelmintic effect of 23 plants have been shown in modern medicine studies.

Conclusion: This study shows a more in-depth and thorough classification of pathogenic worms, their pathogenicity,

symptoms and treatments in Traditional Persian Medical compared to Greek Medicine so that old Persian classification

may be the base of modern taxonomy. More clinical trials are suggested for the efficacy and safety of these plants.

Published: February 2018

A necessidade de padronizar a técnica de punção em serpentes é um decorrente desafio na clínica de animais selvagens, o presente trabalho propõe uma nova angulação para punção cardíaca em Crotalus durissus (cascavel), normalmente as escolhas na punção são as veias coccígeas caudais e palatinas, ou ramos espinhais dorsais das veias espinhais dorsolaterais, entretanto ambas se mostram pouco eficientes em cascavéis nas amostras sanguíneas acima de 1ml. A técnica descrita propõe que por meio de palpação localiza-se ventralmente a base do coração, que é reconhecida pela forte pulsação local, e em posição lateralizada pelo lado direto, no espaço entre as junções das sexagésima oitava escama ventral com as escamas latero dorsais, cuidadosamente insere-se a agulha em uma angulação de 90°, retirando o sangue lentamente para não promover o colabamento das paredes cardíacas. Esta técnica foi reproduzida em cinco indivíduos, que após serem submetidos à técnica apresentaram normalidade em seus padrões clínicos.

Published: February 2018

Background:

Honey is generally evaluated by physicochemical analysis of its constituents.
The manipulation of honey and its possible adulteration is reflected in many of its physicochemical
properties.

Objective:

In this study, samples of Zygophyllum album L honey produced in El-Oued, Algeria, were
characterized based on their melissopalynology, physicochemical and antioxidant properties, also polyphenol
content.

Methods:

The physicochemical parameters of honey, such as density, moisture content, pH, free acidity,
electrical conductivity (EC), total sugar content, color intensity, water insoluble solids content, hydroxymethylfurfural
(HMF), ash, specific rotation, were measured. A number of antioxidant tests
were performed to determine the antioxidant properties of Zygophyllum album L honey samples. The
polyphenol in the Zygophyllum album L honey was measured by spectrometric determination based
on folin-ciocalteu’s method. The identification and quantification of phenolic compounds were carried
out by RP-HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography).

Results:

All honey samples contained monofloral (67.83-91.89%) pollen belonging to Zygophyllum
album L. The results of physicochemical parameters of analyzed honeys were: pH 4.33, moisture
17.2%, free acidity 41.96 meq/kg, electrical conductivity 0.408 mS/cm, HMF 11.89 mg/kg, Ash 0.246
(%), specific rotation -8.21. The Zygophyllum album L honey was extra white amber. The total sugar
content ranged from 81.5 to 83. Honey samples contain high levels of gallic acid (252.53±15.56
mg/kg honey), chlorogenic acid (124.71±10.09 mg/kg) and low amounts of total polyphenol
(467.82±46,98 mg GAE/kg).

Conclusion:

Physicochemical parameters (total acidity, pH, moisture, dry matter, ash, and qualitative
hydroxymethylfurfural) were within the approved limits established by International Honey Commission.

Published: February 2018

Background:

In the last 40 years, scientific efforts were focused on the efficiency improvement
in organic photovoltaic devices. Bleaching agents were used to absorb UV light and
convert it into lower energy radiation appear as potential candidates for further improvements. The
present contribution investigated the effect of adding umbelliferone to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)
polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) on its optical and electrical properties.

Methods:

Characterizations were performed under various umbelliferone concentrations. Fluorescence
decay lifetimes were obtained using a MicroTime 200 system (PicoQuant). The UV–vis absorption
spectra were obtained with a GE Healthcare Ultrospec 2100 pro Spectrometer. The electrical
conductivity measurements as a function of temperature using a cryostat model ARS
CS202AE-DMX-1AL.

Results:

The absorbance increases around 325 nm and decreases in the near infrared s the umbelliferone
concentration is increased. It also decreases the absorption in the visible spectrum, concomitantly
with a significant increase in the UV region. The electrical conductivity for the umbelliferone
doped PEDOT:PSS films display an increase with increasing temperature, but does not follow
a linear behavior with the increase of umbelliferone concentration in the films.

Conclusion:

It was shown that the absorbance displays a redshift in doped samples, while photoluminescence
experiments demonstrated that UV light is converted to the visible spectrum more
efficiently, which is a desirable feature for photovoltaic devices. Also, the electrical conductivity of
PEDOT:PSS is increased for moderate umbelliferone concentrations.

Published: February 2018

Background:

Risk factors and short-term mortality in patients presented with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) in Bahrain has not been evaluated before.

Aim:

In this prospective observational study, we aim to determine the clinical risk profiles of patients with ACS in Bahrain and describe the incidence, pattern of presentation and predictors of in-hospital clinical outcomes after admission.

Methods:

Patients with ACS were prospectively enrolled over a 12 month period. The rate of incidence of risk factors in patients was compared with 635 non-cardiac patient admissions that matched for age and gender. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to predict poor outcomes in patients with ACS. The variables were ages >65 years, body mass index (BMI) >28 kg/m2, GRACE (Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events) score >170, history of diabetes mellitus (DM), systolic hypertension >180 mmHg, level of creatinine >160 μmol/l and Heart Rate (HR) on admission >90 bpm, serum troponin rise and ST segment elevation on the ECG.

Results:

Patients with ACS (n=635) were enrolled consecutively. Mean age was 61.3 ± 13.2 years, with 417 (65.6%) male. Mean age for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, n=156) compared with non-STEMI (NSTEMI, n=158) and unstable angina (UA, n=321) was 56.5± 12.8 vs 62.5±14.0 years respectively. In-hospital mortality was 5.1%, 3.1% and 2.5% for patients with STEMI, NSTEMI, and UA, respectively. In STEMI patients, thrombolytic therapy was performed in 88 (56.5%) patients and 68 (43.5%) had primary coronary angioplasty (PCI). The predictive value of different clinical variables for in-hospital mortality and cardiac events in the study were: 2.8 for GRACE score >170, 3.1 for DM, 2.2 for SBP >180 mmHg, 1.4 for age >65 years, 1.8 for BMI >28, 1.7 for creatinine >160 μmol/L, 2.1 for HR >90 bpm, 2.2 for positive serum troponin and 2.3 for ST elevation.

Conclusion:

Patients with STEMI compared with NSTEMI and UA were of younger age. There was higher in-hospital mortality in STEMI compared with NSTEMI and UA patients. The most significant predictors of death or cardiac events on admission in ACS were DM, GRACE Score >170, systolic hypertension >180 mmHg, positive serum troponin and HR >90 bpm.

Published: February 2018

Background:

In Benin, malaria remains endemic and perennial throughout the year in most areas. During the last decade, a substantial increase was noticed in the procurement of Artemisinin-based combination therapies and malaria RDT. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of uncomplicated malaria cases-management in public and private health facilities.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey was carried out in public and private health facilities in the municipality of Abomey-Calavi in southern Benin from August to September 2016. The study focused on two targets: (i) patients with uncomplicated malaria who sought care in a health facility in Abomey-Calavi during the study period; and (ii) the health care providers in public and private health facilities authorized by the Ministry of Health.

Results:

In 27 health facilities investigated, 15 in the public sector and 12 in the private sector, a total of 313 patients and 93 health care providers were included. Forty-four percent (44%) had no education. Among the patients, 60% were identified in the public health facilities. About 87% of uncomplicated malaria patients were tested in public facilities while 63% were tested in private facilities. In the same way, 54% of patients were treated in accordance with National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) guidelines.

Conclusions:

The present study showed a poor performance in uncomplicated malaria case-management in private health facilities compared to public health facilities. Strategy to improve access and utilization of malaria case-management supplies needs to be reviewed in both public and private health facilities.
Chemical Composition and Antimicrobial Activity of Bark and Leaf Extracts of Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus phoenicea Grown in Al- Jabel Al-Akhdar Region, Libya
Authors: Badawy Mohamed E.I. , Kherallah Ibrahim E.A. , Mohareb Ahmed S.O. , Salem Mohamed. Z.M. , Yousef Hameda A.
Published: February 2018

Background:

Plant extracts are important products in the world and have been widely used for isolation of important biologically active products. Because of their significant environmental impact, extensive research has been explored to determine the antimicrobial activity of plant extracts.

Methods:

Acetone extracts of the bark and leaf of Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus phoenicea, collected from three different altitudes (125, 391, and 851 m high of sea level) at Al- Jabel Al-Akhdar area, Libya were obtained and analyzed by GC/MS. The antimicrobial activity of the extracts was further evaluated against plant bacteria Rhizobium radiobacter, Erwinia carotovora, Rhodococcus fascians and Ralstonia solanacearum and fungus Botrytis cinerea.

Results:

The impact of the altitude from the sea level on the quantity and chemical constituents of the extracts was investigated. The yield was largely dependent on tree species and the highest yield (6.50%) was obtained with C. sempervirens L bark of altitude III (851 m of the sea level), while the lowest (1.17%) was obtained with the leaf extract of C. sempervirens L from altitude I (125 m). The chemical composition analyzed by GC/MS confirmed that the leaf extracts of C. sempervirens and J. phoenicea contained a complex mixture of monoterpene hydrocarbons, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, diterpenoids, terpenophenolic, steroids and phthalates. However, the bark extracts of both trees contained a mixture of sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, diterpenoids, terpenophenolics, phthalates, retinol and steroids. These constituents revealed some variability among the extracts displaying the highest interesting chemotype of totarol (terpenophenolic) in all extracts (14.63-78.19% of the total extract). The extracts displayed a noteworthy antifungal potency with varying degrees of inhibition of growth with EC50 values ranged from 78.50 to 206.90 mg/L. The extracts obtained from the leaves of C. sempervirens showed that the highest inhibitory activity was obtained with the extract of altitude II (391 m) with MIC 565, 510, 380 and 710 mg/L against E. carotovora, R. fascians, and R. radiobacter and R. solanacearum, respectively.

Conclusion:

Based on antimicrobial activity, raw plant extracts can be a cost-effective way to protect crops from microbial pathogens. Because plant extracts contain several antimicrobial compounds, the development of resistant pathogens can be delayed.

Published: February 2018

Uno de los campos menos desarrollados en la historiografía económica de América Latina y aún menos en Colombia es el de los ensayos biográficos. Este tipo de ensayos iluminan las circunstancias en las que se forjaron los trabajos más influyentes de ciertos autores, las influencias que fueron permeando su labor y las motivaciones intelectuales y políticas que impulsaron su obra. En este ensayo nos hemos basado en una extensa entrevista concedida por Adolfo Meisel Roca, quien es uno de los historiadores más influyentes de Colombia en la actualidad, no sólo por haber contribuido a iluminar muchos de los rincones poco explorados de la historia económica, sino por su liderazgo y participación en estudios sociales y económicos de las regiones olvidadas del país.
Obraz Boga w 2 Liście św. Piotra
Authors: Suszko Krzysztof
Published: February 2018

Analiza przebiegu treści 2 Listu św. Piotra ujawnia poruszane w tekście dwie zasadnicze kwestie: (1) ciągła obecność tematu Boga w aspekcie Jego chwały i (2) ostateczny chrystocentryzm wszystkich odniesień treściowych w obrazie Boga. Pięciokrotnie pojawiające się słowo „chwała” (δόξα) można znaleźć zawsze w kluczowych miejscach omawianego tekstu natchnionego. List, przedstawiając teologię wiary w aspekcie poznania i powoływania, odsłania sukcesywnie tajemnicę Jezusa Chrystusa jako Osoby Boskiej – w kontekście Trójcy Świętej – na drodze ujawniania Jego kolejnych tytułów chrystologicznych aż po pełne tego objawienie w określeniu: „Pan nasz i Zbawiciel Jezus Chrystus” (κύριος ἡμῶν καὶ σωτήρ Ἰησοῦς Χριστός). Kreśli przy tym główny cel praktyczny i metodę jego osiągnięcia, jakim jest „uczestnictwo w Boskiej naturze” (por. 2 P 1, 4) dzięki „Bogu i Jezusowi Panu naszemu” (θεός καὶ Ἰησοῦς κύριος ἡμῶν) – z równoczesnym przestrzeganiem przed pójściem inną drogą – przeciwstawiając sobie dwa wymiary rzeczywistości: doczesny i wieczny.
Geneza i znaczenie posługi chrzestnych w ujęciu liturgiczno-kanonicznym
Authors: Czaja Arkadiusz Misrosław
Published: February 2018

Problematyka podjęta w artykule, a dotycząca posługi chrzestnych, oscyluje między zagadnieniami liturgicznymi i ich znaczeniem prawnym. Zwyczaj obecności chrzestnych przy udzielaniu osobie nieochrzczonej sakramentu chrztu świętego oraz pomocy w wychowaniu religijnym sięga początków Kościoła katolickiego. Pierwszoplanowym zadaniem chrzestnych jest wspieranie rodziców neofity w ich trosce o to, by rozwijała się w nim wiara chrześcijańska. Rozważając problematykę znaczenia chrzestnych w wychowaniu religijnym nowo ochrzczonego, należy zwrócić uwagę na istotę tej instytucji dla rozwoju neofity, dlatego wybór ich powinien być przemyślany, gdyż winni oni być wzorowymi katolikami. Wymaga się od nich prowadzenia życia, które nie powoduje zgorszenia. Katolicy, którzy nie spełniają podstawowych wymogów chrześcijańskich, sami się wykluczają z możliwości pełnienia przez nich funkcji chrzestnego. Artykuł włącza się w dyskusje nad liturgiczno-prawnymi aspektami instytucji chrzestnych.
Factors influencing Chinese consumers' brand love: Evidence from sports brand consumption
Authors: Yang Defeng , Lu Yue , Sun Yu
Published: February 2018

We investigated the effects of group affiliation, enjoyable communication, and identity expression on Chinese consumers' tendency to form sports brand love. Participants were 251 undergraduate students from 2 universities in Southern China, who were asked to name a brand they loved,
then complete measures of sports brand love, need for group affiliation, enjoyable communication, identity expression, and sports involvement. Results showed that although the influence of enjoyable communication on sports brand love was nonsignificant, group affiliation and identity expression
positively influenced consumers' tendency to form sports brand love. The effect of group affiliation was moderated by consumers' sports involvement, because it remained significant only when their sports involvement was high (vs. low). Further, the moderating effect of sports involvement was
nonsignificant for identity expression and enjoyable communication. Theoretical implications and practical implications for managers in the sports industry are discussed.
Mediating influences of ethical leadership on employee creativity
Authors: Duan Suhuan , Liu Zhiyong , Che Hongsheng
Published: February 2018

Since the global financial crisis in the first decade of the 21st century, ethical leadership has emerged as a form of organizational management that promotes employee well-being, positive citizenship behaviors, and innovation. In this study, we examined the relationship between ethical
leadership and employee creativity in Chinese businesses. We hypothesized the mediating roles of psychological empowerment and willingness to take risks in the relationship between ethical leadership and employee creativity. Survey data were collected from 380 employee–supervisor pairs
working in 8 businesses across 5 sectors of the economy. The results indicated that, as hypothesized, a positive relationship exists between ethical leadership and employee creative behaviors. Psychological empowerment and willingness to take risks were found to partially mediate this relationship.
The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
Can pitcher performance reveal game fixing in baseball? Developing a forensic analysis detection procedure
Authors: Chang Shun-Chuan
Published: February 2018

Gambling and game-fixing scandals have loomed over the international baseball world and a lack of sports ethics in baseball may lead to many problems. In this study I conducted a textual analysis of reports by prosecutors regarding a pitcher who was investigated but not indicted in
2009 after allegations of game fixing. Drawing upon the statistical records of the season's games for the pitcher that were contained in the prosecutor's reports and game-by-game records for each Chinese Professional Baseball League pitcher in the 2009 regular season, I used the change-point
test and difference-in-differences techniques to identify anomalies in the pitcher's play. The results I obtained support information contained in the prosecutors' reports regarding the pitcher's actions. My model is confirmed as an appropriate method of applied behavior analysis for detecting
corruption in baseball pitching performance.
Within-culture variation in field dependence/independence: A region-level investigation across China
Authors: Peng Shenli , Hu Ping , Guo Zheng
Published: February 2018

Field dependence/independence (FDI), refers to one's preferred style in perceiving one's surroundings, either analytically and individually, or globally and collectively, and has been a popular topic in recent cross- and within-culture research. Previous researchers have suggested that
members of individualist and collectivist cultures differ in the degree to which they perceive objects either analytically and context-independently or holistically and context-dependently. Cross-culture variation in FDI has been thoroughly studied, whereas within-culture investigations have
seldom been undertaken. We explored the within-culture variation of FDI with 593 Chinese colleague students, via administering the Embedded Figures Test. As we predicted, results showed that participants from the more individualist north China area exhibited stronger degrees of field independence
than did their more collectivist southern counterparts. We have supported and extended the notion that culture affects individual experiences on a basic perceptual level with new within-culture data.

We investigated the influence of follower–leader secure attachment (FLSA) on employee creativity from an attachment theory perspective. Data were collected from 263 employees of industries in China and their direct leaders, and analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis.
Results revealed that follower–leader secure attachment (FLSA) had a significant positive effect on followers' creativity. Additionally, the effect of FLSA on followers' creativity was mediated by their harmonious passion. Finally, environmental uncertainty moderated the relationship
between FLSA and harmonious passion; specifically, FLSA had a stronger impact on followers' harmonious passion when environmental uncertainty was high. We have contributed to greater understanding of employee creativity and attachment in the workplace. Implications for future directions are
discussed.
Impact of Pre-Strain, Initial Thermal Strain, and Viscoelasticity of Hybrid/Merged Cords on Tire Performance
Authors: Meng Xianwei , Assaad Mahmoud , Kavaturu Mahesh
Published: February 2018

Hybrid/merged cords made by blending dissimilar yarns into a single cord are commonly used in tire applications. This method is used to capture the desirable properties of each component. In nylon (PA66)/aramid (A19) cord constructions, the aramid is used for its superior strength and thermal stability. The nylon is used for its high elongation. In tire numerical modeling, the composite components require two types of input data, one related to the initial thermal strain, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), and one related to the growth/creep viscoelastic response, creep factor (cr_fr). The following article provides a summary of the laboratory measurements of these material properties for the commonly used hybrid/merged cords. A consumer tire with reinforcing layers was analyzed under normal inflation and loading conditions. The impact on the tire's outer contour and footprint characteristic was shown to be dependent on the type of cord materials used, its initial thermal strain, and its viscoelastic behavior.

Published: February 2018

Laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) is a promising technique for joining sheets due to fast processing speeds and small gap bridgeability. Prior to welding, the edges are often prepared using laser cutting. However, this often leaves small striations with a thin oxide layer that may affect the weld quality. Compared to milled edges, these striations produces a quasigap in a butt joint configuration. The effects of these cutting oxides upon welding are yet unknown. Here, the effects of these oxides in combination with CO2 in the shielding gas are investigated for the LAHW process, using a cold metal transfer arc process.

Authors: Farias Celso José , Lopes Job
Published: February 2018

Este estudo tem por objetivo refletir sobre os meios midiáticos e suas influências na formação da opinião pública, com base na teoria de Chauí (2000), Lustosa (1996), Bourdieu (1979,1983 e 1987) e outros autores que corroboram com o assunto. Primeiramente, aborda-se a mídia como meio de comunicação e de que forma é criada a opinião pública e, posteriormente, o seu papel na formação das percepções e concepções da sociedade e por fim a influência sobre a população. A metodologia adotada pautou-se por uma revisão narrativa da literatura com levantamento bibliográfico dos propósitos expostos por Chauí, Lustosa e Bourdieu que, em seus estudos, abordam os mecanismos de reprodução social que legitimam as diversas formas de dominação. A mídia influencia o telespectador na formação da opinião pública, principalmente no campo político. Desta forma o propósito dos principais autores vão ao encontro da análise do papel na mídia na formação da opinião pública.
Comparativa de la guía curricular ACM/IEEE CE2004 y ACM/IEEE CE2016 / ACM/IEEE CE2004 and ACM/IEEE CE2016 curricular guide comparative
Authors: Ayala de la Vega Joel , Aguilar Juárez Irene
Published: February 2018

Las ciencias de la computación se desarrollan día a día a pasos agigantados. Esto obliga a toda institución de educación superior que imparta una licenciatura enfocada al cómputo a realizar una revisión curricular de forma continua. Para ello se requiere un criterio a seguir que permita hacer una comparación con lo que cada universidad está desarrollando.La Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) y el Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) editaron dos guías curriculares para el área de ingeniería en computación, a saber, la CE2004 y la CE2016. Ambas guías permiten observar los cambios significativos a través del tiempo y ofrecen una referencia curricular. Además, en el apéndice B de la guía CE2016 se muestran currículos de universidades estadunidenses y de la Unión Europea, lo que, a su vez, permite hacer una comparativa con respecto a algunos currículos de universidades latinoamericanas en relación a horas por semana, clases y número de unidades de aprendizaje. Al contrastar las dos guías, se pueden observar grandes cambios existentes en esta área a nivel internacional en los últimos 12 años, reforzando la importancia de una revisión curricular. Al analizar los currículos del apéndice B, se observa de forma general una gran diferencia entre los currículos de universidades estadunidenses y europeas con respecto a los de universidades latinoamericanas.
