Óptimo desempeño de la urdimbre: Incidencia de las torsiones por metro de los hilados usados en las urdimbres de tejido plano
Authors: Burbano Angelo , Oviedo Norma , Gogoy Darwin
Published: February 2022

Las características que poseen los materiales textiles provienen tanto de las fibras textiles como de los procesos productivos de fabricación. Las características finales de un producto textil satisfacen los criterios de los usuarios finales, pero a su vez, las características del proceso de producción también deben cumplir con los requisitos del productor en términos de eficiencia en el proceso productivo y maximización del retorno de la inversión. Esta coyuntura de intereses puede ser satisfecha con una selección estratégica y adecuada de los materiales empleados, ya que con ella se satisfacen los atributos que busca el usuario final, y a su vez se puede mejorar el rendimiento de la inversión que realiza el fabricante en el proceso de elaboración. El presente estudio busca de manera experimental, determinar la relación que existe entre una de las características principales de los hilados, como es la torsión, y el desempeño de estos hilos al ser usados como urdimbre. Esta relación se medirá en relación con la cantidad de roturas de urdimbre durante el proceso de tejido, considerando que, a mayor cantidad de roturas, mayor tiempo de paro de maquinaria y por lo tanto, menor eficiencia de los recursos invertidos, afectando a los intereses de los inversionistas y de los stakeholders de la organización.

Published: February 2022

La economía colaborativa se ha convertido en una tendencia que sumada al creciente uso del internet, busca potenciar el turismo; mediante el intercambio de bienes y servicios, modificando la visión tradicional de negocio. Es por ello que, la presente investigación pretende determinar la factibilidad de la economía colaborativa como modelo de negocios, mediante un análisis estadístico descriptivo y causal a los servidores turísticos de la provincia de Pichincha a través de la potenciación de plataformas digitales como nexo directo entre las empresas turísticas y sus consumidores. La investigación se dividió en dos grupos: ofertantes y consumidores, en donde el ofertante promete nuevas formas de viajar, de alojarse y de integrarse en la cultura local a un costo inferior y por el otro lado el consumidor, describe la familiarización con el uso de aplicaciones móviles, así como páginas web para la búsqueda de los lugares turísticos de su preferencia. Los resultados muestran que existe una relación entre los medios digitales y el servicio contratado, mas se evidencia que la economía colaborativa aplicada al turismo es un modelo de negocios que por el momento no se ha explotado en la provincia de Pichincha, a excepción de aquellos que usan activamente redes sociales y tecnologías de la información para promover sus recursos, mientras que en el caso de establecimientos pequeños se debería trabajar arduamente en el uso de estas bondades a fin de sacar a flote su dependencia.

Authors: G Del Hierro Ana , Anrango María José , Ortiz Daniel , Sánchez Lucía
Published: February 2022

Hermetia illucens, la mosca soldado negra-BSF, es una de las especies más estudiadas por poseer un gran potencial de convertir desechos orgánicos en alimentos para animales, piensos y fertilizantes. Esta larva de invertebrados transforma hasta el 50% de la biomasa orgánica, reintroducida en las cadenas tróficas como alternativa natural de reciclaje de nutrientes y gestión de residuos. A pesar de los numerosos informes mundiales, Ecuador no ha documentado ninguna información científica sobre la captura y multiplicación de BSF. Esta investigación busca determinar la mejor opción de captura de H.illucens en climas tropicales rurales de Ecuador y los mejores desechos locales para alimentar larvas y convertir desechos. Los resultados determinaron que la trampa más adecuada para capturar el insecto fue TE-005 (trampa tipo red), que captura organismos adultos, seguida de la trampa TD-004 (trampa tipo bandeja), donde las moscas colocan sus huevos para posterior eclosión y selección de larvas de BSF. El diseño experimental empleado se basó en un tratamiento de control de banano y cinco tipos de sustratos diferentes: verduras, frutales, carne, estiércol de cerdo y desechos domésticos mixtos. Los resultados mostraron un porcentaje de bioconversión del 77,66% para la prueba de control, seguido de un 55% para el sustrato de residuos domésticos. Nuestro trabajo implementó varios estudios a nivel mundial, indicando que el tratamiento de residuos BSF es una alternativa viable para ser implementada en Puerto Quito- Ecuador.

Encounters of Indic-Abrahamic Religions with Matriliny in Premodern Southern India
Authors: Kooria Mahmood
Published: February 2022

This article engages with the matrilineal communities of the Indian Ocean littoral with a focus on the southern Indian context. The matrilineal system was one of the most convenient features in the context of the Indian Ocean trade. In their transregional journeys, maritime itinerants stayed in one place for months or even a year, depending on the variations in monsoon. During this period, they married into the local communities. These marriages were enabled through the existing matrilineal practices, in which men could and should come and go while the women stayed at home and owned the property. From Southeast Asia to Southeast Africa, the matrilineal system has been prevalent in several Islamic communities, but in southern India it historically existed among Hindus and Muslims, and to some extent among Jews and Christians, too. Although the adherence to the system varied historically, we can observe certain features shared among the communities. On the basis of fragmentary but significant evidence between ca. 800 and 1800 CE among Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities, I explore the nuances of conversion and incommensurability across religions. I investigate how the system benefited the oceanic mercantile culture in the region as well as the dispersal of Abrahamic religions, which are often interpreted as significant domains of patriarchy and patriliny.

Authors: Ordoñez-Monroy Adrián , Morales-Rosales Edgar Jesús , López-Sandoval José Antonio , Morales-Morales Edgar Javier , Salomón-Hernández Gabriela
Published: February 2022

The genus Physalis includes species used for food, medicinal and artisanal purposes. The wild tomato (Physalis angulata L.), which is common in the mixed maize cultivation called “the milpa”, is cultivated in some localities of Jalisco because of its importance in the preparation of sauces. It is hypothesized that the management of planting density and fertilization application can improve the yield of this tomato. The objective of this study was to evaluate the leaf area and yield of P. angulata L. as a function of slow-release urea doses and planting densities, under open-field rainfed conditions. Nine treatments were evaluated, resulting from the combination of three planting densities and three fertilizer doses. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with factorial arrangement. The data were analyzed with analysis of variance and the means of the treatments were compared with Tukey’s test (p ≤ 0.05). The relationship between yield and study variables was estimated with simple linear regressions. The results indicated that with 2.5 plants m-2 the highest yield was obtained (6.4 Mg ha-1); while with 140 units of slow-release urea the average yield was 5.76 Mg ha-1. The interaction effect showed that with densities of 2.0 and 2.5 plants m-2 and with 120 kg of slow-release urea, the highest fruit yields were obtained, 6.44 and 6.87 Mg ha-1. For each unit increase in the variables leaf area, leaf area index, number of fruits per plant and fruit weight per plant, fruit yield increased as well. The yield of P. angulata responded differently to planting densities and slow-release urea doses. The best yield could be obtained with the planting density of 2.5 plants m-2 and with the application of 30.4 g m-2 slow-release urea.

Published: February 2022

This article develops an analysis of the use of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity and tries to explore its weaknesses, and how it can be used for cyber-attacks. Artificial Intelligence began in the 1950s and over the years several researchers have contributed to its improvement, techniques such as the Neural Network proposed by neuropsychologist Mcculloch and the logician Pitts , the creation of expert systems had relevance in its construction, today the artificial intelligence is super advanced and covers a variety of subfields , among the areas that benefited most from its use is the cybersecurity where it is applied in the detection of fraud, forensic investigation, denial attacks (Ddos), virus detection, and more. Because of its ability to reuse threat patterns it can reduce time and costs. This technological capability that Artificial Intelligence brings can also be used for Cyberattacks, the Trojan Emotet is an example of a prototype attack of this type. In 2017 the Wannacry attack that hit 150 countries gave us a taste of what a large-scale cyber-attack can do. This is why experts fear the use of opposing Artificial Intelligence, which has made attacks increasingly sophisticated and unpredictable. Artificial intelligence will continue to impact the technological security landscape and there are many more gains than losses from its use, and without it in cybersecurity it will not be possible to inhibit cyber-criminal attacks

Aim or Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with oral health-related quality Of life (OHRQOL) in adults in Mbouda (Cameroon) in 2020. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey with nonprobability sampling was used in this study from March to November 2020. A sample of 238 adults aged from 18 to 65 years residing in Mbouda completed an oral health survey to assess the factors associated to OHRQOL. The means and standard deviations of the OHIP-14 index were calculated and associated to individual and environmental factors and biological functions. Normality test, Mann-Whitney U-test, Kruskal-Wallis test and the coefficient of spearman correlation were used for data analysis. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. An approval to conduct the study was obtained from the institutional research ethics committee for human health. Results: The most affected domains of the OHIP-14 index score among adults were physical pain (42.6%) and psychological discomfort (39.2%). Age group, level of education, number of daily brushes, fixed salary, accessibility, periodontal disease and tooth decay were significantly associated with OHRQOL. After multiple linear regression, periodontal disease, accessibility and dental caries were retained as predictors of OHRQOL in adults of Mbouda. Conclusions: The establishment of an oral health program, the strengthening of an effective oral hygiene, the promotion of oral health and the reduction of geographic and financial barriers are necessary to finally improve OHRQOL among adults in Mbouda.

Published: February 2022

IBD is a common, serious and disabling chronic digestive disease, Their different manifestations, whether digestive and extra-digestive, require a multi-professional care adapted to each specific patient. Anti-TNFs are now an essential therapeutic weapon in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Their effectiveness in both the short and long term has been demonstrated in various studies. However short and long term anti-tnf results vary from patient to patient which can be explained in many cases by the significant number of discontinued treatment in patients that experience side effects. The purpose of our work is to study the different side effects occurring in patients under biotherapy, the management of these side effects and their prevention. We prospectively analyzed since four years the medical records of 54 IBD patients who received anti-TNF treatment. An exhaustive pre-therapeutic assessment was performed systematically in all patients. A clinical and biological control was carried out systematically before each therapeutic administration to search for undesirable reactions. Side effects were classified into several categories including immediate hypersensitivity reactions, dermatological complications, infectious, neurological, haematological, neoplasic and cardiac complications. During this period, 54 patients were treated with biotherapies, representing 24.2% of all IBD patients. We observed 29 side effects, an incidence of 46% including two severe effects 3.5%, occurring on average after one month of treatment. The hematological undesirable effects were the most frequent appeared in 14 patients (26%), severe infection specifically tuberculosis appeared in 2 patients (3.6%), allergic effects were severe in only one case (anaphylactic shock), finally the secondary cutaneous lesions of Anti-TNF were observed in a single patient (extensive psoriasis). Severe adverse reactions led to permanent discontinuation of Anti-TNF in 24.1% of cases. The use of anti-TNF treatment is likely to generate numerous undesirable effects, hence the advantage of respecting the recommendations relating to the assessment before any treatment with biotherapy and of making regular clinical follow-up during treatment with a meticulous clinical examination as well as biological monitoring in order to prevent the occurrence of these complications, and to manage them correctly once they appear.

There is little data regarding its prevalence, pattern, associated factors and impact on the quality of life in African countries. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence, pattern, quality of life and factors associated with GERD among outpatients in the city of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. Methods: Between 01 June 2013 and 31 July 2013, a total of 1062 adults aged 18 years and above were recruited into this cross-sectional study and completed Swahili-language self-administered questionnaires. The Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of GERD questionnaire was used as a diagnostic tool for GERD and quality of life was assessed using the Quality of Life in Reflux and Dyspepsia (QOLRAD) questionnaire. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation of the study participants was 46.0±19.5years and 60.5% were females. The prevalence of GERD was 31.5% and was higher among females compared to males (p = 0.001). The quality of life in patients with GERD was lower in all five domains of the QOLRAD questionnaire. About two thirds (59.7%) of patients with GERD had previously sought medical advice and 59.6% had used medications for their GERD symptoms. Conclusions: The prevalence of GERD was high in this patient population and was significantly higher among females compared to men. Participants with GERD demonstrated significant impairment in the quality of life.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections are a global major public health threat. Their co-infections and associated risk factors have been postulated in many countries, unfortunately, no such data exist in Cameroon. This study aims to determine the prevalence and possible predictors of HCV among DM patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among DM patients at Regional Hospital Bamenda from February to June 2020. Blood samples were collected and tested for the presence of HCV. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: The study comprised 193 participants. The mean (Std. error) age and random blood sugar level of the participants were 46.12(0.9) years and 134.15(4.07) g/dl respectively. HCV prevalence was 3.11% (6). The distribution of HCV infection did not show any significant difference with social demographic factors (p > 0.05). Similarly, HCV was insignificantly (p > 0.05) higher in patients with T2DM 6(3.4%), those with disease duration >5 years 4(4.4%), and those receiving injectable drugs 2(9.1%). Possible predictors (p<0.05) of HCV identified in this study include; uncontrolled diabetes (7.4%), family history of diabetes (19.2%), hepatitis 2(15.4%), alcohol intake (7.6%), multiple sex partners (6.5%), sharing sharp objects (9.1%), those with Tattoos (9.4%), scarification marks (3.6%), as well as those who have been hospitalized (6.7%), or received blood transfusion (25.0%) at least once. Conclusion: HCV testing and linkage to care among DM patients should be made imperative in order to design effective treatment and prevention programs that will reduce the morbidity and mortality rates.

When we talk about sexuality, it is often misinterpreted as a conversation that is primarily about sex. Meanwhile, the extent of the discussion of sexuality is broader than just the issue of sex, which is more offensive to the organic angle. Sexuality is the way a person meets, appreciates, and communicates his thoughts as a sexual being. Overall, it concerns how a person uses his soul, making use of his feelings and actions depending on his situation as a sexual being. This paper discusses the idea of ​​sexuality in Islam, the focus of the study is on sexuality in Islam. The formulation of this paper; First researching sexuality, there are people who react separately (actually) not as far as scholastic, also concentrating on sexuality will increase a person's capacity to be more subtle and careful in sexual relations with their partners. Issues in sexuality are about the notion of sexuality, the organization and the notion of sexuality in the Qur'an. The sex that is allowed and guaranteed by standards, religion and law is hetero provided that they must marry. For a while, there was another trend, namely a certain homosexuality. Gay people are not recognized in the public arena, especially tight networks. Islam has regulated things that are identical with sexuality, Islam gives space to heteros, on the grounds that it is sunnatullah. While homosexuality, both gay and lesbian, is a fahishah (terrible) act, such demonstrations are haram.
