Pesquisas com os cotidianos da Educação
Authors: Ferraço Carlos Eduardo
Published: December 2023

O artigo objetiva problematizar o modelo de pesquisa em Educação que, ao supor uma realidade preexistente, com seus dados aguardando para serem coletados, enfatiza a necessidade de práticas descritivas, explicativas e/ou analíticas, nas quais a escrita, assumida como atestado de veracidade do acontecido, institui-se por meio de um autor-autoria dotado de uma consciência plena e fundadora, capaz de criar formas de representação da realidade. De modo diferente, apostamos em uma dimensão de pesquisa como devir, com destaque para as cartografias de conversas, que nos lança em meio às experimentações com os cotidianos e nos incentiva a seguir fluxos, a acompanhar processos e a nos enredar em movimentos de diluição dos sujeitos-rostidades, interessados que estamos muito mais nas poéticas das forças do habitável e nas reverberações dos acontecimentos, do que na defesa do protagonismo das identidades conscientes. Desse modo, o artigo defende uma aposta ético-estético-política para as pesquisas com os cotidianos como possibilidade de invenção de mundos mais plurais e inclusivos na Educação.
Sobre os laços de família na transição de gênero
Authors: De Oliveira Lima Alef
Published: December 2023

Essa resenha visa apresentar aos leitores a obra etnográfica de Arthur Leonardo da Costa Novo, jovem doutor em Antropologia pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Sua tese versa sobre as relações intrafamiliares, as formas de parentesco e os processos de transição de gênero que atravessam e recompõem lógicas morais e de afeto de famílias de jovens trans. Nesse aspecto, a obra se debruça por uma etnografia consolidada que mescla análise social e subjetiva do tema da transgeneridade e costura um argumento particular da reconstituição das dádivas, laços e transformações das relações de familiaridade. Para o autor, a transição realinha-se como categoria êmica, transpassando, passados compartilhados, novos arranjos de interação e politizando afetos.

Authors: Martínez Marlenis , Sánchez Francisco , Roque Juan , Mota Katihuska
Published: December 2023

O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar a relação entre normas padronizadas e a avaliação do desempenho dos professores em escolas rurais subsidiadas na região de Ñuble, no Chile. O percurso metodológico baseou-se na abordagem quantitativa e envolveu uma investigação básica, na perspectiva de um desenho não experimental. Foi considerada uma população de 40 educadores que atuam nas instituições citadas e aplicado um questionário com escala Likert para coletar informações sobre o contexto examinado. Foi validado por meio de pesquisa realizada por especialistas na área educacional-metodológica e avaliado utilizando o coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach, o que determinou alta confiabilidade. As conclusões mais significativas centraram-se no seguinte: há pouca aprovação das normas padronizadas emitidas pelo Ministério da Educação do Chile, visto que não correspondem à realidade que os professores vivem nas áreas rurais, afetando a prática docente e, portanto, a eficácia desempenho perante as autoridades governamentais no momento da avaliação.
Interplay of G-proteins and Serotonin in the Neuroimmunoinflammatory
Model of Chronic Stress and Depression: A Narrative Review
Authors: Gusev Evgenii , Sarapultsev Alexey
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

This narrative review addresses the clinical challenges in stress-related disorders
such as depression, focusing on the interplay between neuron-specific and pro-inflammatory mechanisms at
the cellular, cerebral, and systemic levels.

Objective:

We aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms linking chronic psychological stress with low-grade
neuroinflammation in key brain regions, particularly focusing on the roles of G proteins and serotonin (5-HT)
receptors.

Methods:

This comprehensive review of the literature employs systematic, narrative, and scoping review
methodologies, combined with systemic approaches to general pathology. It synthesizes current research on
shared signaling pathways involved in stress responses and neuroinflammation, including calcium-dependent
mechanisms, mitogen-activated protein kinases, and key transcription factors like NF-κB and p53. The review
also focuses on the role of G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptors (GPCRs) in immune and pro-inflammatory
responses, with a detailed analysis of how 13 of 14 types of human 5-HT receptors contribute to depression
and neuroinflammation.

Results:

The review reveals a complex interaction between neurotransmitter signals and immunoinflammatory
responses in stress-related pathologies. It highlights the role of GPCRs and canonical inflammatory mediators
in influencing both pathological and physiological processes in nervous tissue.

Conclusion:

The proposed Neuroimmunoinflammatory Stress Model (NIIS Model) suggests that proinflammatory
signaling pathways, mediated by metabotropic and ionotropic neurotransmitter receptors, are crucial for
maintaining neuronal homeostasis. Chronic mental stress can disrupt this balance, leading to increased pro-inflammatory
states in the brain and contributing to neuropsychiatric and psychosomatic disorders, including depression.
This model integrates traditional theories on depression pathogenesis, offering a comprehensive understanding
of the multifaceted nature of the condition.
Self-compassion, Positive and Negative Affect and Social Avoidance among Adolescence: Mediating Role of Mindfulness
Authors: Sujamani M.S. , Kanth Barani
Published: December 2023

Objective:

Mindfulness is an attribute of consciousness to manage social fear avoidance and promote well-being. Social anxiety is a common psychological experience noted among the general population. Social anxiety develops during adolescence and is prevalent among college students. This study investigates the factors contributing to social anxiety - fear and avoidance of social situations of female first-year undergraduates.

Methods:

The study used a survey research design. A sample of 821 first-year female undergraduate students aged between 17 and 19. Data were collected using the Liebowitz Social anxiety scale, the Five-Facet mindfulness questionnaire, A short form of the Self-compassion scale, and the Positive and Negative affect scale.

Results:

Mindfulness weakens social fear and reduces the tendency to avoid social situations. Mindfulness effectively mediates the impact of self-compassion's positive affect and negative effects on social fear. Mindfulness and social fear jointly mediate the impact of self-compassion, positive affect, and negative affect on social avoidance.

Conclusion:

Mindfulness is the awareness and acceptance of the feelings, thoughts and sensations attached to self and its possible reciprocity with social surroundings to mitigate fear—self-compassion and positive emotional affect augment, and negative emotional affect attenuate mindfulness. Results analysis highlights the mediation of mindfulness on social anxiety, self-compassion, positive affect, and negative affect.
Complications of Acute Kidney Injury in COVID-19 Patients: A Systematic Review
Authors: Abraham Anish , Dickson Merin , Abhilash Anjana , K.U Sumit , Kunjumon Amisha
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Acute Kidney Injury has been associated with a higher mortality rate among hospitalized patients with Coronavirus disease.The present review aimed to evaluate the association of COVID-19 with acute kidney injury. The study also aimed to assess the symptoms, complications, and treatment performed for the successful management of acute kidney injury patients with COVID-19.

Methodology:

The literature review search was conducted by using PubMed, Medline, and another database of medical journals for identifying, reviewing, and evaluating the published articles with cases of COVID-19 and acute kidney injury complications.

Results:

The systematic review of 25 studies found that patients with COVID-19 had a high prevalence of acute kidney injury due to risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and the overuse of diuretics. The average age of acute kidney injury occurrence in patients was from 54-70 years of age. From 25 studies, a total of 27922 patients, 29.9%, were detected with acute kidney injury with the pathological cause of acute tubular necrosis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.

Conclusion:

The current systematic review indicates a high prevalence of acute kidney injury among COVID-19 patients with hospitalisation. Patients with COVID-19 pose a risk for the development of acute kidney injury due to chronic infection, high use of corticosteroids, and systemic hemodynamic instability, which results in acute tubular injury in hospitalised COVID-19 patients.

A majority of the patients were seen with undiagnosed acute kidney injury. Early detection in such comorbid cases can resolve renal complications and improve the therapeutic outcome in COVID-19 patients.

The Current Role of OCTA in the Management of Pathological Choroidal Neovascularization with Anti-VEGF Therapy
Authors: Quiroz-Reyes Miguel A. , Shao Zixuan , Quiroz-Gonzalez Erick A.
Published: December 2023

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is an emerging technology that captures flow motion within the retinal vasculature to produce angiograms. Compared to dye-based angiography techniques, OCTA is a noninvasive and fast method that enables detailed visualization of the vasculature, which is not easily observable using previously available techniques. Over the past decade, OCT-A has been used to characterize the pathological features of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) associated with several retinal diseases, including neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In eyes at risk of developing CNV, OCT-A has demonstrated the capability to detect subclinical signs of neovascularization (NV) that may enable early treatment and better visual outcomes. Various CNV conditions are now routinely treated with intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF). OCT-A was used to identify the characteristics of CNV at various stages, before and after anti-VEGF therapy. Although preliminary, OCT-A has demonstrated the potential to help guide treatment decisions in CNV cases that respond differently to anti-VEGF therapy.

Despite its multiple advantages and applications, the clinical use of OCT-A remains limited. OCT-A has several limitations, including visualization of a small area, the presence of artifacts, and results that are challenging to interpret. However, OCTA technology continues to advance as some of the early limitations have been resolved. Overall, OCT-A promises to be a significant step forward in our current ability to visualize pathological CNV, and has the potential to improve both the diagnosis and management of a variety of retinal diseases.

Published: December 2023

Despite the abundant literature on management options for noncomplicated macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair, the role of the corresponding long-term postoperative macular perfusion indices and their correlation with the postoperative epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation remain vaguely understood. In this chapter, we have analyzed the incidence of postoperative ERM proliferation and the differences in the corresponding postoperative macular perfusion indices in patients who underwent two well-known surgical approaches for noncomplicated macula-off RRD. Postoperative microstructural and perfusional findings were compared, and their correlation with best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), postoperatively, was assessed. Two study groups based on the surgical procedures performed for noncomplicated macula-off RRD were analyzed. The postoperative incidence of ERM was 23.2% and 23.63% in the buckle vitrectomy groups, respectively (p>0.05). The RRD recurrence rates in the buckle and vitrectomy groups were 8.8% and 1.82%, respectively (p>0.001). The mean BCVA values before ERM removal in the buckle and vitrectomy groups were 0.40±0.33 log of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) and 0.47±0.19 logMAR, respectively (p<0.05). The final mean postoperative BCVA in the buckle and vitrectomy groups were 0.43±0.14 logMAR and 0.28±0.19 logMAR, respectively (p<0.05). When the retinal perfusional indices of the buckle and vitrectomy groups were compared with the normal control group, all the perfusional indices differed significantly (p<0.01).
OCT-A Findings and Usefulness in Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Authors: Marasini Sanjay , Quiroz-Reyes Miguel A.
Published: December 2023

The eye is a window to the brain because of its inherent connection to the central nervous system (CNS). Several brain disorders manifest as ophthalmic abnormalities and can be detected through a detailed assessment of the eyes. In the last decade, extensive evaluation of retinal microvascular changes using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) has been performed for several diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Although the results from the available studies are conflicting (mainly due to heterogeneous study populations), they agree on the applicability of this technology for the early identification of these diseases. This chapter summarizes the OCT-A screening and monitoring uses for these diseases and hypotheses for the potential identification of disease characteristics.
GESTIÓN DE RECURSOS DE LA PENSIÓN ALIMENTARIA: GARANTIZANDO EL BIENESTAR DE LOS BENEFICIARIOS
Authors: Pimentel Tello Maria Isabel
Published: December 2023

La obligación alimentaria compromete a una persona a proporcionar los medios necesarios para cubrir las necesidades básicas de otra que no puede satisfacer por sí mismo sus necesidades básicas. Esta obligación es naturalmente asumida por los progenitores respecto de sus hijos menores, pero también puede aplicarse en otras situaciones, como cuando un cónyuge debe proporcionar sustento al otro, durante el matrimonio o incluso después del divorcio. Esta obligación se basa en el principio de solidaridad familiar. Sin embargo, la regulación peruana no incluye ninguna forma de fiscalización de los recursos que se entregan a los encargados de administrarlos, quienes lo hacen a libre arbitrio y muchas veces sin tener en cuenta las necesidades de los beneficiarios de los alimentos que están bajo su tenencia o custodia. En tal sentido, se propone la implementación de un sistema de fiscalización, semejante a los que se aplican en algunos países, con la finalidad de garantizar la verdadera función de las asignaciones alimentarias, es decir, atender las reales necesidades de los hijos y su superior interés.

Methodology for the Formation of a Balanced Set of Sustainable Indicators for Assessing Regional Vocational Education
Authors: Grigorev V. Yu.
Published: December 2023

To assess the state of the regional vocational education system, the authors developed an open five-level assessment model, on the basis of which a set of studies was performed, including cluster and factor analysis. Based on the use of the main components method, a methodology for reducing the dimension of an array of indicators for subsequent clustering of regions is proposed.

For the first time, the joint use of regression analysis and the method of main components for obtaining a stable set of indicators for assessing the regional vocational education system was proposed and tested.

A relationship was found between the stability of the assessment model of the vocational education system and the directions of action of indicators, both within one indicator group and in different indicator groups.
Using Non-Standard Methods of Promotion in the Event Industry in Conditions of Limited Resources
Authors: Nikitina O. O.
Published: December 2023

Globalization challenges companies, demanding from them an immediate response to changes in society and the use of non-standard methods of promotion that can attract the target public. Special events are an effective brand promotion tool, but not without difficulties. Even in conditions of a limited budget, provided high-quality management, an original concept and prompt response to current socio-economic and political changes, special events can bring profit, increase the efficiency of the organization, highlight the brand in the market, thereby increasing the competitiveness of the company. Each event requires the development of a concept as a separate opportunity to best influence the target group. The purpose of the work is to identify non-standard ways to promote special events in conditions of limited resources and to determine their effectiveness. To achieve the result, the author applied methods of systematization and generalization of existing experience on the subject of research, as well as methods of theoretical and empirical analysis, thanks to which recommendations were developed on the use of non-standard methods of promotion within the framework of solving problems for the implementation of a special event in modern conditions.
The Modern Russian Leader in the Representations of Civil Servants
Authors: Selezneva E. V. , Demidov S. A.
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the results of the study of the content and structure of public servants’ representations about the most characteristic personal and activity properties of modern Russian leaders. The relevance of the research is determined, on the one hand, by the requirements of modern management practice to the structure of personal and activity characteristics of managers at all levels and in any field, and on the other hand, by the significance of social representations as subjective factors in the formation of relations between participants in managerial interactions and increasing the productivity of their joint activities. A questionnaire based on the method of free descriptions was used as a diagnostic tool. When processing the received data, content analysis and a set of statistical methods were used. The concepts identified with the help of content analysis describe the personal and activity properties of the head, which act as subjective factors that contribute to or hinder the implementation of the functions of the head as a subject of management. The analysis and generalization of the research results made it possible to obtain a psychological portrait of a modern Russian leader from the position of civil servants. It is shown that the most characteristic for the modern Russian leader in the view of the study participants are personal and activity properties related to the spheres of goal-setting and goal-attainment, communication and interaction and subjectivity. The hierarchically organized structure of representations of civil servants about the most characteristic personal and activity properties of modern Russian leaders is described. It is established that the core of ideas includes seven characteristics of a modern Russian leader (purposefulness, competence, education, responsibility, ability to assume the function of a leader, determination, sociability), which are complemented by personal and activity properties included in the semi-periphery of ideas (authoritarianism, benevolence, charisma, fairness, activity, self-confidence, stress tolerance, demanding, honest). It is also shown that part of the periphery of the ideas of the study participants are personal and activity characteristics, which largely contradict those that entered the core and semi-periphery. The practical significance of the research is connected with the fact that the identification of the content and structure of ideas about the most characteristic personal and activity properties of modern Russian leaders opens up great prognostic opportunities for use in the framework of personnel work, as well as in the process of individual counseling of management personnel and psychological support of their professional activities.

Manganeso asociado con degeneración hepatolenticular no wilsoniana como causa infrecuente de encefalopatía: reporte de caso
Authors: Acosta Pérez Tomás Andrés , Rivera Martínez Wilfredo Antonio , Galvis Martínez Cristhian , Ocampo Chaparro José Mauricio , Gómez Ramírez Diego  Mauricio
Published: December 2023

Objetivo: describir la presentación clínica, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de un paciente con encefalopatía como manifestación de degeneración hepatolenticular no wilsoniana producida por manganeso, en un centro de alta complejidad de un país latinoamericano.
Descripción del caso: paciente masculino de 55 años, procedente de Estados Unidos, con antecedente de enfermedad hepática asociada con consumo de alcohol, quien ingresó al servicio de urgencias por un cuadro de diarrea, hematemesis y agitación psicomotora. Durante la estancia presentó deterioro en el estado de consciencia, por lo que requirió intubación orotraqueal. En su estudio diagnóstico, las pruebas de líquido cefalorraquídeo fueron negativas para etiologías infecciosas, en los estudios endoscópicos no tenía estigmas de sangrado portal hipertensivo y el amonio y los estudios para causas metabólicas fueron normales. Sin embargo, se documentaron áreas de hiperintensidad en los ganglios de la base en la resonancia magnética cerebral, con niveles de ceruloplasmina sérica y cobre urinario normales, lo que descartó enfermedad de Wilson y definió el diagnóstico de degeneración hepatolenticular no wilsoniana por depósitos de manganeso.
Conclusión: la degeneración hepatolenticular no wilsoniana es una causa infrecuente de encefalopatía crónica con manifestaciones clínicas de extrapiramidalismo, secundaria a disfunción de los ganglios de la base por enfermedad hepática grave. Su diagnóstico se convierte en un reto, dado que se produce por depósitos de manganeso y no existen biomarcadores que puedan establecer el nivel de exposición a este metal. La resonancia magnética cerebral juega, por tanto, un papel indispensable al reflejar esos depósitos en los ganglios de la base.
A Review of the Health Impacts of Air Pollutants
Authors: Patel Jay , Song William
Published: December 2023

Air pollution has emerged as a critical global concern in our era due to
its far-reaching impacts on the environment and human health. Air
pollutants including particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone,
nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, are of immediate concern and are
sources of morbidity and mortality. Additionally, air pollutants pose
severe threats to human health, encompassing acute and chronic
conditions. Particulate matter, composed of fine particles and aerosols,
heightens the risk of respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), with long-term exposure linked to
lung cancer. Carbon monoxide (CO), emitted from combustion, induces
hypoxia, causing headaches, fatigue, and, in severe cases,
cardiovascular complications and fatalities. Ground level ozone
exacerbates respiratory distress, aggravates asthma, and impairs lung
function. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from vehicles and industries irritates
the respiratory system, contributing to respiratory diseases, while
sulfur dioxide (SO2) from fossil fuels worsens respiratory conditions.
Synergistic effects amplify health risks, particularly for vulnerable
populations. Addressing these threats necessitates comprehensive
strategies to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and protect the
health of diverse communities.

La misma asignatura fue impartida en su totalidad con metodología de clase magistral online en el Grado de Ingeniería Agrícola.

Los resultados muestran que el aula invertida condujo a una menor procrastinación, aumentando los estudiantes que siguen la asignatura y realizan las actividades de clase. Sin embargo, en estas condiciones de docencia a distancia, se observó una alta tasa de absentismo, independientemente de la metodología docente. Aunque no se observan diferencias en las calificaciones entre metodologías, el aula invertida ha resultado satisfactoria, proponiéndose ampliar su uso en cursos posteriores, tras realizar las mejoras pertinentes.
HISTORIOGRAFIA DA ÁREA DE ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS NO BRASIL: PARA ALÉM DAS MARCAS PATRIMONIALISTAS E DA MODERNIZAÇÃO INAUTÊNTICA

Published: December 2023

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo estabelecer relações entre a historiografia nacional brasileira, trabalhada por Jessé Souza, com a historiografia da área de Ensino de Ciências brasileira encontrada na literatura especializada. Em suas obras, o referencial teórico desta pesquisa, Jessé Souza, trabalha as interpretações históricas do Brasil - interpretações, no plural, pois, na obra de Jessé Souza, são expostas duas interpretações da história do Brasil. A primeira interpretação, denominada de patrimonialista, busca nossas origens em um passado remoto da sociedade portuguesa e identifica, como a origem dos nossos males, um suposto atraso do país e, principalmente, do Estado. A segunda interpretação é proposta por Jessé Souza com base em trabalhos empíricos e obras de outros intérpretes nacionais como Gilberto Freyre e Florestan Fernandes. Essa segunda interpretação identifica nossas origens na escravidão e percebe a exclusão e a desigualdade social como sendo os nossos grandes males. Para dialogar com a história nacional, foram selecionados textos disponíveis na literatura especializada que versam sobre a história da área de Ensino de Ciências brasileira. Por meio de uma abordagem com embasamento na historiografia do problema e do método regressivo de Marc Bloch e após inúmeras leituras conjuntas dos textos selecionados para análise e do referencial teórico foram criadas categorias que relacionam a história da área e as interpretações históricas do Brasil trabalhadas na obra de Jessé Souza. Neste artigo são apresentadas duas das categorias criadas. A primeira categoria relaciona a teoria da modernização, estreitamente ligada à interpretação patrimonialista do Brasil, com as ajudas financeiras de agências internacionais e norte-americanas para a produção de materiais didáticos e o treinamento de professores recorrentemente mencionadas na história da área de Ensino de Ciências. A segunda categoria relaciona o anseio de modernização nacional, fomentado pela linha historiográfica patrimonialista, com a nascente pesquisa em ensino de Ciências no Brasil. Reflexões apoiadas nas referidas categorias apontam que a história da área apresentada na literatura analisada possui ligações com a interpretação patrimonialista do Brasil que menospreza os aspectos escravocratas da nossa história e encobre nossa brutal e atual desigualdade social. Por fim, é indicado à área de Ensino de Ciências brasileira a necessidade de um maior envolvimento intelectual de seus membros com as questões da desigualdade e exclusão social no Brasil.
Factor Inputs and the Growth of the Manufacturing Sector among the East African Community Member States: Testing the Efficacy of the Extended Neoclassical Growth Hypothesis
Authors: Musiita Benjamin , Jeke Leward
Published: December 2023

The study aims to examine the relationship between input factors and growth rates in the output of the manufacturing sector in the five East African Community (EAC) member states. The relatively small manufacturing sector's GDP contribution to the combined GDP of the EAC member nations is the driving force behind this inquiry. We evaluate the applicability of the 1992 Mankiw, Romer, and Weil neoclassical growth framework and its subsequent developments in this study. Using a linear dynamic panel model, we utilize this methodology to obtain estimations using the first difference generalized method of moments (D-GMM. The study's findings make it clear that the gross capital formation input component is essential for forecasting changes in the rate of expansion of the manufacturing sector's output. Conversely, the East African Community's member states' manufacturing sector output growth does not seem to be much impacted by variables such as adjusted population growth and human capital. Based on our research, the East African Community (EAC) member states' output fluctuations in the manufacturing sector may be partially explained by the neoclassical growth model and its expansions. This shows that the growth framework that has been chosen might not be thorough enough to provide a thorough assessment of the variables influencing the expansion of the manufacturing sector output in the EAC member nations. The findings of our study indicate that the manufacturing sector’s output growth in the EAC member states could be enhanced through the implementation of policies and programs that provide incentives for augmenting capital stocks. This can be accomplished by in­crea­s­ing investments from the domestic private sector as well as foreign di­rect investments.

This study investigated the relationship between corporate strategies and financial performance among foreign commercial banks in Burundi. The study used cross-sectional descriptive research design using a quantitative approach. The target population was 219 employees including technical staff and management. A sample size of 142 respondents was determined and simple random sampling was used to select the respondents. The questionnaire was used as the main data collection instrument and data was analyzed using linear and multiple regression analysis. The study revealed that corporate strategy significantly affects the financial performance of foreign commercial banks in Bujumbura (Adjusted R2=0.281, p=0.000). In addition, it was found that competitive strategy significantly affects the financial performance of foreign commercial banks in Bujumbura (Adjusted R2=0.147, p=0.000). Similarly, the study revealed that operational strategy significantly affects the financial performance of foreign commercial banks in Bujumbura (Adjusted R2=0.229, p=0.000). The study concluded that corporate strategies significantly affect financial performance. The study made the following recommendations: management of foreign commercial banks should employ the use of a total quality management system, should make use of a customer relationship management system, should employ advanced and constant methods of market research, and continuously develop new processes of delivering quality services to their customers.

Objective

To identify plasma miRNAs related to treatment failure in youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Research Design & Methods

We examined whether a panel of miRNAs could predict treatment failure in training/test datasets among participants in the Treatment Options for Diabetes in Youth (TODAY) Study (n=209). We also examined whether individual miRNAs were associated with treatment failure.

Results

Participants were 14.5 years old and 62% female. A panel of miRNAs did not predict treatment failure. However, for each doubling, miR-4306 was associated with a 12% decrease and miR-483-3p (p=0.040) was marginally associated with a 12% increase in failure (p=0.080) independent of sex, race/ethnicity, BMI, Tanner stage, HbA1c, maternal diabetes, oral disposition index, and treatment arm. The addition of both miRNAs improved model fit (log likelihood without miRNAs -360.3 vs. with -363.5, p=0.040).

Conclusions

miR-483-3p and miR-4306 may be associated with treatment failure in youth with T2D.
Chitosan Porphyrin Composite (CPC) as Photosensitizer in Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy for the Management of Chronic Wounds
Authors: AA Olajide
Published: December 2023

Handling wound-related infections represent major challenges among traditional and modern medical practitioners since bacteria can easily invade the tissues and proliferate, hampering the regeneration process. Hence highly efficient photosensitizers (PS) for antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (APDT) that are able to prevent infection and promote wound healing have been extensively explored in this regard. Chitosan -porphyrin composite (CPC) as a new PS for APDT were synthesis by immobilized porphyrins with different functional groups on chitosan. The structural characterization of the newly obtained PS confirmed the success of the porphyrin immobilization on the solid supports. Their photodynamic efficacy were evaluated and the results indicated that silver meso-tetra (4-methoxylphenyl) porphyrin-chitosan composite (C-AgTMPP) and silver meso-tetra (4-hydroxylphenyl) porphyrin-chitosan composite (C-AgTHPP) have the most favourable antibacterial activity against all bacterial isolates however, majority of the composites demonstrate no significant antimicrobial activity at low concentration.

The level of teachers’ performance in executing their primary duties at school is significantly influenced by the competence of the school principal and the completeness of school facilities. This research aims to statistically measure the impact of school principals' competence and school facility completeness on the performance of vocational school teachers in the Anabas Islands Regency. To achieve this objective, a quantitative research design with a correlative approach was employed. The study population comprised 55 teachers serving in three vocational schools in the Anabas Islands Regency. The research instrument was validated using the Pearson Product Moment, and data reliability was verified through the Cronbach Alpha test. The results of the study revealed that (1) principal competence is linked to teacher performance, and that principal competence has a minimal impact on the performance of vocational school teachers. (2) Facilities and infrastructure were found to be associated with the performance of vocational teachers. The facilities and infrastructure significantly influenced the performance of vocational teachers. (3) The competence of the school principal, facilities, and infrastructure exert a significant influence on the performance of vocational schoolteachers. The competence of the school principal, facilities, and infrastructure also had a minimal impact on the performance of vocational school teachers.
