Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Approach for Vesicovaginal Repair : The First Experience in Hasan Sadikin Hospital
Authors: Santoso Jumadi , Pramod Sawkar Vijay
Published: January 2021

Background. Obstetric fistula is a severe and debilitating condition occurring throughout the developing world. Although there are no accurate data on the incidence and prevalence of the condition, the majority of vesicovaginal fistulas develop after obstetric procedure, with delayed labour accounting for 90% of cases. Several techniques are available for repairing the fistulas. Transperitoneal approaches give good results even for difficult posterior located fistulas, but are associated with increased morbidity compared with the transvaginal approach. We performed a laparoscopic repair and omentum interposition. The objective of this article is to report our first experience in transperitoneal laparoscopic repair of vesicovaginal fistula in Hasan Sadikin Hospital.

Method. A 31–year–old female presented with vesicovaginal fistula after sectio caersaeran because of de- layed labour. After a failed trial of conservative treatment with catheter drainage, a transperitoneal laparoscopic repair was performed. Cystoscopy was performed initially to confirm the fistula location and for bilat- eral ureteric catheterization. A 4–port technique was performed with the patient in the position with her legs in lithotomy position. Without opening the bladder, the fistula tract was excised with separation of the bladder from the anterior vagina wall. Both the bladder and vagina walls were then closed separately using intracorporeal suturing with an interpositional omentum.

Results. Total operative time was 270 min. Normal diet was resumed on day 1, drain was removed on post operative day 1 and patient was discharged on the second day with an indwelling catheter. Food cosmetic result on wound operation and no leakage under cystogram after 2 weeks. The catheter was removed after 2 weeks.

Conclusion. Laparoscopic transperitoneal repair of vesicovaginal fistula with omentum inteposition is feasible in Hasan Sadikin Hospital with good outcomes, short hospital days, and good cosmetics result. Still need more same cases before a final conclusion

Authors: Priyosantoso Bacilius Agung , Pramod Sawkar Vijay
Published: January 2021

Background. Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy has become an alternative to open surgery for removing large stones that is not amenable to endoscopic treatment. In most of the published literature, laparoscopic ap- proach for lower ureteric stone is described to be less successful than middle and upper ureter. Identifica- tion in anatomical landmarks and exposing the distal ureter has been the major boundaries in establishing laparoscopic distal ureteral stone. We hope to provide clarity and feasibility that may increase our knowledge in laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for large distal ureteral stone.

Aim. The obbjective is to share our experience in laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for large distal ureteric stone with transperitoneal approach

Methods. A 37 years old male has been diagnosed with a right hydronephrosis due to proximal ureterolithiasis and stone at left calyx inferior, first and stone migrated to right distal ureter on 12 hours prior surgery. He underwent laparoscopic ureterolithotomy with transperitoneal approach.

Results. We successfully perform laparoscopic ureterolithotomy with transperitoneal approach on a 37 y.o male patient who diagnosed with a a right hydronephrosis due to distal ureterolithiasis and stone at left calyx inferior. Duration of operation was 45 minutes. Patient was discharged at 2nd postoperative day without any complications.

Conclusion. A Transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy for distal ureteric stone is a safe and feasible technique that should be an options on every patients who plan to undergo distal ureterolithotomy especially large stone

Published: January 2021

Aeromonas spp. are prevalent pathogens in farmed eel, which induce highly infectious diseases, such as hemorrhagic septicemia and gill-rot disease. Research on the application of ethanol and water extracts from traditional Chinese herbs in controlling the diseases has increased. However, the exact antibacterial components in majority of these herbs were not well-studied. Four fractions or components were isolated from Terminalia chebula Retz. ethanol extract in our previous study. In the present study, their antibacterial effects on A. hydrophila and A. veronii were assessed using microcalorimetry. The results showed that component III (a single chemical constituent, gallic acid) had the strongest antibacterial effect compared with three other fractions. The inhibitory effect was enhanced as the concentration of component III increased, and the minimum inhibitory concentrations of component III to A. hydrophila and A. veronii were found to be 0.56 mg/ml and 0.74 mg/ml respectively. This is the first study in which the antibacterial component of T. chebula extract on aquatic bacteria growth was screened and determined by microcalorimetry.

The staggering social and economic costs associated with psychological ill-being conditions among workers require efforts to mitigate its causes and effects through evidence-based psychological health interventions. However, such interventions in the workplace are not without challenges and obstacles. The purpose of the study is to identify influential factors associated with effective implementation of psychological health interventions in the construction industry. This study adopted the mixed-methods approach employing in sequence the methods of qualitative and quantitative research to achieve the aim of the study. A total of 53 interviews and 264 questionnaire surveys were conducted in Ghana with construction professionals, construction trade workers, regulatory personnel, and occupational health psychologist. The qualitative study revealed 18 influential factors associated with the implementation of psychological health interventions. These findings were confirmed by the quantitative survey to be statistically significant. A comparative analysis of the responses from the three groups of respondents showed some statistically significant differences in the ratings of the influential factors, which may be due to the group’s interest and diversity. The highly influential factors revealed in the quantitative study included willingness of employees to cooperate with the intervention procedures, perceptions on the benefits of the psychological health interventions, impact of stigmatization and discrimination, level of awareness on indicators of psychological health conditions, cost of implementing the intervention and extent of management commitment and support. This study offers valuable information for construction stakeholders and policymakers on factors to consider for successful psychological health management and interventions in the construction industry

In the present paper the behavior of mortar reinforced with polypropylene fibers was studied. Different percentages of polypropylene fibers such as 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8% as volumetric fractions were used. Different properties which are flowability, density, compressive strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength were evaluated for all mix combinations. The experimental results indicated that a reduction in flowability was obtained with increased polypropylene fibers content. Besides, it can be concluded that the incorporation of polypropylene fiber may significantly reduce the density of mortar. The use of low volume fraction of polypropylene fiber improves the mechanical properties of HPM. Thus, the use of 0.2% of such fiber increases compressive strength by about (4-10%), at various ages.

Since the emergency of COVID-19 pandemics, many countries have been encountered a multitude of challenges. People have been facing health related and other social consequences throughout the world. It is too early to know the aggravated impact of COVID-19 on people living in resource-limited setting, like east Africa countries. In these countries, besides direct public health impact, the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked social stigma and discriminatory behaviors against people of certain ethnic backgrounds as well as anyone perceived to have been in contact with the virus. Social stigma can negatively affect those with the disease, as well as their caregivers, family, friends and communities. COVID-19 pandemics have also been provoked great impacts on daily social consumptions such as food and other food supplements. In addition, COVID-19 pandemic were overshadowed endemics diseases such as malaria, TB and HIV related care and antenatal care services as well as other non-communicable diseases prevention and control. Social stigma coupled with other consequences could result in more severe health problems, can undermine social cohesion and prompt possible social isolation of groups, which might contribute to a situation where the virus is more, not less, likely to spread and difficulties controlling a disease outbreak. Therefore, how we communicate about COVID-19 is critical in supporting people to take effective action to help combat the disease and to avoid fuelling fear and stigma. An environment needs to be created in which the disease and its impact can be discussed and addressed openly, honestly and effectively. This is a message for government, media and local organizations working on the COVID-19 infections.

The processes redesign is still a topic little discussed today within the care context. It promotes reflections on activities that really add value to the client and impact on the quality of care offered by the nursing staff. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the nursing staff work environment by applying the “Nursing Practice Work Environment Scale [PESNWI]”. The IQG Nursing Certification Program discusses the redesign of the care model based on conditions in the workplace to which nursing is inserted. A cross-sectional research was conducted with a quantitative approach in nursing professionals at a Brazilian general hospital, enrolled in the IQG Nursing Certification Program. The analyzed institution has 744 nursing professionals, with the participation of 60.6% of its total. The research used comparative analysis between management and care positions. Results differ from other national studies of the same nature in hospital settings. In general, the nursing practice environment composition was considered as favorable. The unfavorable dimensions to nursing practice are linked to the management and leadership of the head nurse, observed by their fragility as care coordinators. Another point to consider is the collaborative nature of the relationship between nurses and other team members, as well as their impact on their members’ autonomy and status in the organization. The work environment perception declared by the nurse managers and the care team is significantly different, which disadvantages the implementation of effective practices of professional repositioning before the multi-professional team and senior institutional management. Significant changes in care practices are understood to occur when the nursing managers understands their role in the team and the real practical problems of daily life, acting in a participatory manner with their team, strengthening the functional autonomy of all professionals

Obesity is increasing at epidemic proportions both in children and adults posing a big public health problem among children as well as adults. With parallel increase in comorbidities like type2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic syndrome (MetS) a need arises for developing medical therapies that can maintain long term weight loss. Earlier we have tried to consider multiple options like utilization of drug combinations like Qsymia, Contravene, Liraglutide, thylakoids, probiotics, Combination of glucagon like peptides1 (GLP1) with glucagon etc but nothing has proved to be as efficacious as BS in long term maintenance of weight loss. Earlier we had reviewed the cellular changes related to orexin A and B changes that are isoforms of neuropeptides that get liberated from the lateral hypothalamus (LH). Here we further review the pathophysiology of orexin neurons with regard to their role in neuroinflammation in the central nervous system (CNS) via microglial cell changes and role in spontaneous physical activity (SPA) and sleep physiology commonly termed sleep-wake promoting neuropeptides along with role in reward circuitry and how targeting them might be of help in treating obesity. Possibility is that subtle increases in SPA have been found to improve energy expenditure (EE) and that has been utilized in some workplaces where treadmill like chairs are utilized, restless people who keep sitting and standing do burn calories thus promoting carparks at distance places, no elevators have been thought as some ways by which lethargic individuals refuse to follow exercise might get helped by modulating orexin neurons besides correcting sleep problems coexisting with obesity
Neuroglial Cells Have Liver Function for the Brain
Authors:   GEOMEDI University, Georgia, Aleksidze Nugzar G
Published: January 2021

Recently, the noteworthy results have been published regarding the uptake and degradation of biologically active substances, neurotransmitters, amino acids and carbohydrates by neuroglial cells and their inactivation as it takes place in the liver of living organisms. Based on the above-said, an assumption was made that the neuroglial cells in the brain, presented in biologically active glial-synaptic and neuron-neuroglial regions, should perform a similar function as the liver does. The functions of the liver are well known and determined by the excess accumulation of metabolic and physiologically active substances in the organism by means of inactivation, degradation and detoxication. For this purpose, the neurolectins existing in glial cells were specially studied. Based on the preliminary data, by means of them, the inhibition of agglutination of blood trypsinized erythrocytes took place via biologically active substances, neurotransmitters and aminoacids. This indicates that by means of neuroglial cells it is possible to uptake the above-said substances and then their degradation and inactivation in the cell. Based on the obtained data, it should be recognized that the neuroglial cells in glial-synaptic and neuron-neuroglial regions, the neuroglia should be considered as a structural formation having liver function in the brain

Ataxia is defined as a neurological sign including the lack of muscle movement coordination particularly of gait abnormality, talking changes, and also abnormality in eye actions. In ataxia, a part of nervous system is dysfunction which is also coordinate movement such as the cerebellum. In adults, ataxia can be acquired or genetic disorder. The Spinocerebellar ataxia is hereditary, progressive, degenerative, genetic disease or often fatel. There are no effective treatment and cure for Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). Spinocerebellar ataxia is a progressive disorders in which the cerebellum slowly degenerates. An average results estimated that 150,000 peoples in the United States have a diagnosis of Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) at any given time periods. Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) can affects anybody persons of at all ages. A current systemic review shows that the global prevalence of Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is 3 in 100,000 people. However, a wide regional variation exists. SCA3 is common subtype around the world, SCA2 is additional prevalent in Cuba than SCA3 whilst SCA7 is the most frequent subtype in Venezuela due to strong founder’s effect. SCA6 is 1 of the most general ADCA in the North of England, with a global prevalence of 5.2/100,000.There are many different types of spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) and each may have unique signs and symptoms. And these includes: Problems with coordination and balance (ataxia), Uncoordinated walk, poor hand eye coordination, Abnormal speech, Involuntary eye movement, Vision problems, Difficulty processing, Learning and remembering information. The hereditary ataxias are categorized by mode of inheritance and causative gene or chromosomal locus. The hereditary ataxias can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive,or X-linked manner. Some types of SCA inherited in an autosomal dominant manner are caused by trinucleotide repeat expansions. A trinucleotide repeat is a segment of DNA that is repeated a number of times. It is normal for these repeats to exist and they typically do not cause any problems. Some Spinocerebellar ataxia SCAs remain unspecified and cannot be precisely diagnosed, but in the previous decades genetic testing has permissible precise identification of dozens of different SCAs and extra tests are being added each year. The spinocerebellar ataxia are classified SCA1 to SCA35for the treatment of SCA. There are no effective and cure treatment available for the spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). But there are some methods; therapies and treatment are available which will be fruitful for the SCA. And these included the following: Meditation, Zolpidem, N-acetyl leucine, Rehabilitation

Published: January 2021

Despite the introduction of a number of effective disease modifying therapies (DMT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) over the past 25 years, a need remains for an effective method of treating breakthrough relapses, which impact disease progression. ACTH and corticosteroids have fulfilled this role for the past 50 years. However, based upon our current understanding of the cadence of an exacerbation, and its importance in the progression of MS, an alternative is proposed. This utilizes a very brief course of an ultra-high dose of intravenous methylprednisolone, adapted from the megadose protocol of methylprednisolone in acute spinal cord injury. Despite the known side effect profile of corticosteroids, and the ultra-high dose employed, the brevity in administration yields a well-tolerated, rapid resolution of the relapse

Breast cancer (CS) is the most common female cancer worldwide, ranking first in Algeria for its frequency and mortality .Molecular classification has distinguished at least four molecular types: luminal A, luminal B, HER2 and basal-like. Our objective is to study the phenotypic profile of breast cancer in women with cancer as well as the different clinical, immunohistochemical and therapeutic aspects of different molecular groups.We undertook a retrospective study between October 2016 and December 2017. This study involved 121 files. The distribution of the population according to age showed that the most affected age group is [53-63] years old with 35%. Molecular classification results showed that the most common type was luminal A at 37.19%, followed by luminal type B at 27.27%, basal-like at 19.83%, and HER2 at 15.70%. Breast cancer of luminal type, expressing[ ER], accounts for 70 to 80% of all mammary carcinomas and that the luminal group A is the most common with proportions of 58 , 5% and 54.3% respectively while the distinction is observed in the other groups. Molecular classification plays a very important role in the treatment. This result shows that luminal type A is the most common, and that postmenopausal women are most likely to have breast cancer. This classification is very important in the orientation of the treatment. The resulting molecular classification is expected to better classify tumors to a personalized therapy.

The paper analyzes approaches to modeling the processes of interaction of concentrated solar radiation with materials. The experimental results obtained on the synthesis of materials from a melt in a solar furnace are presented. It is shown that when melting in a solar furnace under the influence of concentrated solar radiation of high density due to the acceleration of the recovery process, it is possible to obtain a fine-grained microstructure that gives the material enhanced mechanical and dielectric properties. It is shown that the relationship between the structure and properties of the materials obtained with the technological parameters of melting and cooling in a solar furnace can be used as an approach to modeling the interaction of concentrated solar radiation with materials

Authors:   University of Wolverhampton, UK, Aslam Fahim
Published: January 2021

Dengue virus is one of major public heath burden in several countries, it is described to be “a fast-emerging pandemic prone viral disease” by the WHO and is one of the most common form of vector borne diseases worldwide. The disease is transmitted through the female Aedes mosquito and most commonly found in tropical countries. A reported 400 million reported dengue cases occur yearly and an estimated 3 billion people could be affected by the disease in the upcoming decade making it a global crisis. The disease is caused by four serotypes of the dengue virus (DENV1-4) making it difficult for the treatment to work on the patients due to its different virulent mechanism. Using the data available from the Ministry of Health, Epidemiology Unit in Sri Lanka the dengue reported cases from 2014 to 2018 are analyzed over the five years to identify the trends and occurrence patterns [1,2].
Anomalous Magnetic Fields Corona Virus COVID-19 Cause

Published: January 2021

All in Earth magnetic feld (EMF) gets magnetic properties (MP). Summed MP with intensity stronger than natural EMF, are Anomalous magnetic fields (AMF). Diamagnetic can become paramagnetic, depending on the environment in which it is, enabling humans hormones, enzymes, proteins secretion from organs. Aim: Show that living world is assemblage of electrical beings. Point the electrical potential generator in body. Point enormous AMF pathological power. Show how does old organism function, and how a young one. Concerning immune system and aging. Point prevention, i.e. protection from AMF. Explain COVID-19 functioning. Methodology: Published scientific works in international journals are used and presented in literature at the end of this work, being a basic methodological lead of this presentation. Unknown physiological and pathological processes in humans in medicine are explained. AMF foundings are performed visually, i.e. watching TV reports during treatments of COVID-19 patients. Results: Using knowledge of geomagnetism and electrotechnics, presented are ambiguities from physiology, cell’s division, breathing, heart functioning and central nervous system. Also presented is pathology causing enormous mortality and diseases caused by AMF. Explained is a virus entrance into a host cell and its functioning with MP increase in AMF from external environment. It is suggested how to stop patients death by eliminating AMF from their dwelling places. Conclusion: Humans are magnetic and electromagnetic beings. All chemical substances are electrical impulses products. Life is created according to a magnetic code enabled by EMF and its end is when EMF disappears, as it happened on plant Venus. Biology-medical science should consider Earth magnetic fields in order to prolong life on planet Earth and eliminate dangerous diseases (cancer, KVD, diabetes etc.) caused by AMF, what is possible only by eliminating AMF from people’s dwelling places and what helps in treating and preventing the mentioned diseases. After 30 years of research, clear proofs are found that eliminating AMF from living environment and spending time in natural EMF life can be prolonged to over 90 years. It is, also, found that the new COVID-19 wave in Serbia is producing much less disease cases than in its surrounding. This result is achieved because, for over 30 years, people are constantly informed about mortal diseases causes (CVD, cancer, diabetes and, lately, COVID-19 and other diseases), having AMF as the main pathological factor from external environment. At the beginning, public media have been included (television, daily newspapers and radio) but some “higher forces” have forbidden this kind of information.
Le Mémoire de 1664 ou le Psautier face au « tyran des langues »
Authors: Peureux Guillaume
Published: January 2021

En 1664, Laurent Drelincourt envoya à Esaïe II Colladon plusieurs documents, dont son fameux Mémoire. Cet ensemble de documents extrêmement minutieux incitait les pasteurs de Genève à engager un travail de mise à jour de la Bible et en particulier du Psautier. S’appuyant sur des principes propres aux grammairiens du temps, Drelincourt envisageait la révision du Psautier comme un projet linguistique et poétique, indexé sur l’idée d’« usage », qu’il présente comme le « tyran des langues ». Les enjeux liturgiques et théologiques étaient rattrapés et dépassés par des enjeux touchant à l’élégance de la langue des vers, ce qui révèle selon nous la dimension militante de la démarche littéraire de Drelincourt. Il s’agissait de renouveler les textes et de leur donner des attraits poétiques à la mode, afin de rivaliser avec les psaumes catholiques tout en se donnant les moyens de séduire un public élargi.

Authors: Waithaka Robert Kariuki , Kimani John G.
Published: January 2021

Purpose: the purpose of the study is to establish the influence of electronic procurement practices on supply chain performance.

Methodology: The researcher employed a method of reviewing desktop literature. To assess the feasibility of the subject for testing, three processing stages were applied on the subject under review. This was the first step of the original identification of all papers based on the effect of electronic sourcing activities on the efficiency of the supply chain. A second quest covered fully available literature on the issue of e-procurement processes and efficiency of the supply chain. The third stage included the collection of journals that were freely available. The researcher arrived at 12 papers that were relevant for review after an in-depth quest into the top key terms (e-procurement processes, supply chain management, performance).

Findings: Procurement performance is the backbone of an organization success since it contributes to competitive purchase and acquisition of quality goods that puts the organization products or services in the competitive edge in the market. In the analysis of the use of e-procurement on performance of the procurement functions of county governments in Kenya, the results revealed that e-procurement is positively related with performance of supply chain function of County Governments in Kenya.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study therefore recommended that the Government come up with policies on adoption of e-procurement practices and provide critical resources and leadership in adoption of e-procurement. It is recommended that in order to achieve maximum benefits of reduced order processing time, reduced costs, reduced human errors and improved delivery, management should enhance electronic system and insist on all orders being processed electronically.

Purpose: To assess the Impact of climate change on food and nutrition security at household level in Garbatulla sub-county.

Methodology:The study was designed as a cross sectional survey. Findings: The analysis of rainfall and temperatures over the region of study indicates that there has been decreasing trend of yearly rainfall and increasing temperatures. Result also revealed that the area is highly dependent on food aid which is an indication of food insecurity in Garbatulla. The analysis of nutritional status in the region remains between poor and serious, requiring adequate attention which is an indication of deterioration in nutrition. The study also found out that the respondents were using arrange of coping mechanism which are at border on survival rather than adequacy. Further, the study findings indicated a number of barriers hindering the community from consuming more nutritious foods such as fish, eggs and tubers.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The widespread occurrence of food insecurity, the severity of the consequences and insufficient progress in reducing the numbers of the food insecure all point to the need for further urgent action. The findings of this study will come in handy by showing the extent to which climate change affects food security and nutrition. Hence, decision-makers at all levels, such as the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and NGOs, will use the study findings design effective policies and programs. The findings will also contribute to the body of knowledge in the academia and may provide insights on food security gaps for further academic research

El objetivo del trabajo es comprobar la influencia de la alfabetización en el habla habitual en la zona vascohablante del valle de Arratia. Para ello, hemos analizado la distancia lingüística entre dos generaciones de dicho valle respecto al euskera estándar: una generación no alfabetizada en euskera (45-50 años); y la otra, que sí está alfabetizada (20-25 años). La metodología para realizar el análisis de los datos se divide en tres pasos: la estandarización de los datos, el cálculo de la distancia lingüística; y, por último, un análisis de correspondencias múltiples (ACM). Con los datos estandarizados hemos realizado dos análisis: por una parte se ha calculado la distancia lingüística RIV mediante el programa Diatech y, en segundo lugar, se ha realizado un análisis multivariante para datos categóricos mediante FactoMineR programado en lenguaje R. Los resultados nos muestran que sí existe un leve movimiento en las hablas de las generaciones alfabetizadas hacia la utilización de formas propias del estándar que son ajenas a las hablas de gente no escolarizada ni alfabetizada en idioma vasco.

Authors: Conde Solano José Lauro
Published: January 2021

Se implementó un ensayo de 20 m x 20 m, en los campos experimentales de la Universidad Nacional de Loja para evaluar el rendimiento del cultivo de papa a través de la fertirrigación en riego por goteo con NPK; y, determinar la disponibilidad de NPK a 10, 30 y 50 cm de profundidad, suministrados en forma superficial, y subsuperficial a 25 cm de profundidad. El ensayo se realizó con tres tratamientos y tres réplicas por tratamiento ver (figura 2.1).  Las dosificaciones de NPK fueron las mismas tanto para el riego por goteo superficial (T2) como para el riego por goteo subsuperficial (T3), así mismo las frecuencias de riego, tiempos de riego y caudales suministrados por los emisores fueron los mismos para los tres tratamientos (T1, T2, T3). Las frecuencias y tiempos de riego se establecieron en función de las lecturas del tensiómetro de mercurio calibrado anticipadamente. Con el riego por goteo subsuperficial y con fertilización se obtuvo un rendimiento de 16,97 t/ha; con riego por goteo superficial y con fertilización se obtuvo 14,44 t/ha; mientras que con el riego por goteo sin fertilización fue de 8,14 t/ha. Referente a las concentraciones de NPK, se encontró mayor concentración de Nitrógeno (N) en 14,7%, fósforo (P) 56%, y potasio (K) 20% en el riego superficial.

Authors: Ollague Valarezo José Kennedy
Published: January 2021

El objetivo del estudio fue proponer un modelo empresarial mediante alianzas público-privada (APP), a través de los municipios para el desarrollo socioeconómico de la provincia de El Oro, Ecuador, para lo cual se desarrolló una investigación de tipo no experimental, donde se encuestaron 440 líderes de opinión, profesores universitarios y personas con amplios conocimientos relacionados con alianzas público-privadas en la provincia de El Oro, además se efectuaron entrevistas a alcaldes, concejales y profesionales del ramo. La asociación entre las variables independientes y dependientes identificadas se determinó mediante el Coeficiente Rho de Spearman y una vez comprobada su correlación se aplicó el Análisis de Componentes Principales que permitió reducir la dimensionalidad del conjunto de variables. El contraste de hipótesis se efectuó mediante la prueba chi-cuadrado de independencia y la veracidad de los datos obtenidos se realizó mediante análisis de confiabilidad, determinándose el índice Alfa de Cronbach el cual es un indicador de consistencia interna del modelo. El procesamiento de los datos se efectuó mediante el Paquete Estadístico SPSS versión 22 de prueba para Windows. Se diseñó un modelo empresarial basado en alianzas estratégicas interinstitucionales que permitan la implementación de proyectos de inversión con democratización de la propiedad. Se concluye que es factible la implementación de un modelo de empresa estándar capaz de generar prosperidad local basándose en el desarrollo de las potencialidades que tiene cada jurisdicción, sea esta un municipio o cantón, departamento, región o provincia, por lo que su aplicabilidad es de carácter universal.
