Published: August 2022

Mesenteric ischemia is an uncommon condition, and we need to have a high index of suspicion to diagnose and manage this condition. Predisposing conditions such as myocardial infarction, portal hypertension, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, post-operative states, trauma, and hypercoagulable states such as DVT, pregnancy, and neoplasms should always be accounted for before diagnosing this condition. In emergency situations, surgical exploration is warranted. Here, we present a case of 57-year-old male, known case of DVT RT lower limb, on anticoagulants, presented with the complaints of epigastric pain, absolute constipation, and abdominal distention of 3 days duration. He was investigated and managed by exploratory laparotomy with peritoneal lavage and resection of gangrenous bowel with proximal jejunostomy and distal ileostomy.

Published: August 2022

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on patients scheduled for vascular, reconstructive, gynaecological, and day care surgeries for whom propofol (P) and sevoflurane (S) were used as induction agent for LMA insertion. All patients who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria and had given propofol or sevoflurane at various departments during the specified duration were included in the study and data were collected using pre-defined protocol. A total of 100 consecutive patients (50 patients in each group) were included in the study.
Objectives: The objectives of the study were to evaluate and compare sevoflurane in one vital capacity breath with propofol in dose of 2 mg/kg for ease of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in adults.
Results: The mean age for sevoflurane (S) group and propofol (P) group was 35.30, standard deviation (SD) 8.74 and 34.88, SD 9.37, respectively. Heart rate (HR) at 2 min, 3 min, and 4 min after induction showed a fall with propofol which was statistically significant. There was statistically significant difference in systolic blood pressure at on 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, and 4 min when compared between the two groups. A statistically significant fall in the systolic blood pressure in Group P was noted when compared to Group S. There was statistically significant difference in diastolic blood pressure at 4 min when compared between the two groups. A fall in the diastolic blood pressure in Group P was noted when compared to Group S at 4 min. There was fall in blood pressure in Group P when compared with Group S and this was significant. Fall in oxygen saturation in 3 and 4 min was significant. However, this fall was not clinically significant, as the values remained above 94%. There was increase in end-tidal carbon dioxide in 1, 2, 3, and 4 min and was statistically significant between the two groups. Sevoflurane took longer time for induction and LMA insertion. Loss of eye lash reflex, jaw relaxation, and LMA insertion were lost earlier with propofol and were statistically significant. The overall LMA insertion was excellent with propofol in 50 patients and with sevoflurane 48 patients had excellent condition and two were satisfactory.
Conclusion: In our study, sevoflurane was associated with good hemodynamic stability, but quality of anesthesia provided with propofol was superior. Delayed jaw relaxation with sevoflurane when compared to propofol delayed LMA insertion. The overall insertion was excellent with propofol with all 50 patients as compared to sevoflurane.

Objectives: Infections of vulva and vagina are commonly encountered in gynecology practice. These infections are predominant in the women of reproductive age group so, this study was done to determine the prevalence of vaginal candidiasis and identify, differentiate Candida species isolated from the patients. Three high vaginal swabs per patients were collected using sterile cotton-tipped swabs from Gynecology Department and processed in Department of Microbiology, MLBMC, India. Candida was identified using standard guidelines. The study was done on 350 women in reproductive age group (18–49 years), 63.4% were non-pregnant and 36.5% pregnant. One hundred and sixteen/350 (33.1%) samples showed pure growth of Candida species. Candida positivity among pregnant women (42.9%) was higher than in non-pregnant women (27.1%). Isolation of non-albican Candida was higher (26.7%) than Candida albicans, this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) The most common isolated species by conventional methods was C. albicans (36.3%) followed by Candida glabrata (24.1%), Candida tropicalis (22.5%), Candida krusei (10.3), and Candida parapsilosis (7.7%). In case of C. albicans, Fluconazole and Amphotericin B were found to be most sensitive drugs followed by Nystatin, voriconazole and ketoconazole and among non-albicans candida, Nystatin was the highly sensitive drug. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VCC) is the most common infection in the women reproductive age group. Several predisposing factors such as HIV, diabetes mellitus, oral contraceptive, IUCD usage, antibiotics, and immunosuppressive drug increase the VCC, C. albicans was the most prevalent species followed by C. glabrata and C. tropicalis.

Authors: PANSARE MEGHANA , DAMLE MRINALINI
Published: August 2022

Objective: Linagliptin is used to treat type-2 diabetes. It is available singly as 5 mg tablet. Since there is no official dissolution method in Indian pharmacopeia, there is a need to develop a method for testing dissolution of linagliptin immediate release tablet.
Methods: For establishing dissolution method, various media, volume of media, and speed of rotation were tried. Quantification of dissolution samples was carried out using HPTLC and UV method. TLC plate pre-coated with silica gel 60 F254 was used as stationary phase and mobile phase employed for the development of TLC plates was methanol: toluene in a ratio of 7:3 v/v. The mobile phase was allowed to travel a distance of 70 mm and saturation time set was 20 min. Detection wavelength set was 294 nm.
Results: The most suitable condition for dissolution of linagliptin tablet was found to be dissolution apparatus type II (paddle) using 900 ml 0.1 N HCl as medium at speed of 75 rpm. The optimized chromatographic condition resulted in compact band at Rf value of 0.76±0.02.
Conclusion: Both the chromatographic and spectroscopic methods which were used for quantification were found to be linear with r2 value of 0.9929 and 0.9918, respectively, accurate, precise, and robust.

Authors: DUBE MUKESH , SINGH SUNDAR PAL , KHARE NEERAJ
Published: August 2022

Objective: The present study was conducted with an objective to study prevalence and pattern of dyslipidemia in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
Methods: From August 2021 to March 2022, 161 participants participated in the trial. After a night of fasting, skilled medical laboratory technicians drew 5 ml of blood from each study subject and performed anthropometric measurements on them.
Results: 110 patients, or 68.9% of the entire group, had dyslipidemia. About 3.7% (n=6) of the individuals had atherogenic dyslipidemia. Among 2.5% and 23.6% of the participants, high TC (total cholesterol) and low HDL (high-density lipoprotein), respectively, were found to be isolated dyslipidemias. Significantly more hypertensives (77.9%), people with abnormal fasting glucose levels (80.2%), those with elevated postprandial glucose levels (78.8%), and people with larger waist circumference had dyslipidemia (76.0%).
Conclusion: Our study showed that diabetic patients have a significant prevalence of dyslipidemia. The main public health issue in underdeveloped nations is dyslipidemia, which also serves as a standalone risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, it complicates the progression of CVD in diabetic individuals and raises mortality when combined with other risk factors like high blood pressure.

Published: August 2022

Objective: The term “metabolic syndrome” (MetS) refers to a concept rather than a specific illness. All cardiovascular events seen in participants cannot be explained by the established risk factors for metabolic syndrome. We investigated the relationship between uric acid levels and the different elements of the metabolic syndrome.
Methods: The Department of Medicine, S.P. Medical College, Bikaner, Rajasthan, conducted a case control study from January 2020 to December 2020 on 150 cases of metabolic syndrome as per NCEP ATP III definition criteria and harmonizing definition criteria, admitted in various wards, and 150 healthy individuals taken as controls selected by simple random sampling and matched for confounding factors.
Results: Both the study group and the control group had comparable socio-demographics. In the metabolic group (study group), the prevalence of hyperuricemia was 20% with a mean of 6.00±0.98 mg/dL, compared to 22.3% in men and 16.07% in women. When the maximal number of metabolic syndrome components (4 or 5) were present, the mean blood uric acid level was 6.4 1.03 mg/dL (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The incidence of the metabolic syndrome and its elements was substantially correlated with serum uric acid levels.

Objective: The true prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in individuals with diabetes has been difficult to determine because of the lack of symptoms and insensitive diagnosis. We estimated the prevalence of PAD and its association with age and gender in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who were asymptomatic for PAD.
Methods: Total 150 Type 2 DM patients were screened and examined for PAD using Ankle Brachial Index and Color Doppler. Prevalence of PAD was further studied and statistically analyzed to find its association with age and gender.
Results: Prevalence of PAD in our study was 16%. Out of total 150 Type 2 DM patients, 24 patients were diagnosed to have PAD by Color Doppler. The prevalence was 12.0% in the fifth and sixth decade followed by 3.3% in seventh and eighth decade and 0.7% in <40 years age group. Out of total 150 cases, there were 83 males and among them 15 (18.1%) had PAD and out of 67 females, 9 (13.4%) had PAD. After application of Chi-square test to the above observations, there was no statistically significant association of age and gender with PAD in our study population.
Conclusion: In the present study, the prevalence of PAD was 16%; 10% and 6% in males and in females, respectively. There was no statistically significant correlation of PAD with age and gender.

It was possible to identify that it is necessary to invest in water infrastructure in projects to alleviate the lack of sewage treatment that bothers Amazonian citizens. And the conclusion was that the participation and knowledge of different areas in integrated water management increases the likelihood of achieving the goals of Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG) by 2030, because the sustainable development of the country is linked to its population
Eucalyptus growth and initial productivity in response to different sources of boron
Authors: Mageste José Geraldo , Milagres Vitor Augusto Cordeiro , Durães Tânia Marta
Published: August 2022

Boron (B) deficiency in forest production systems has been reported in several eucalyptus species. The low biochemical cycling of B and the leaching losses justify the need for effort to get the fertilization of this nutrient right. In this context, the efficiency of three sources of boron with different solubilities was evaluated in a dystrophic Red Latosol, with a sandy loam texture, in eucalyptus crops at juvenile age. Ulexite (10% boron), boric acid (17,2%), and sodium tetraborate (15%) were evaluated, providing 800 g ha-1 of B. For comparison, a control without boron was used, totaling four treatments in a randomized block design. To evaluate growth and productivity, total height (Ht) and diameter at breast height (DBH) were analyzed at 12 months, in addition to analysis of plant tissue at the end of this period. There was an influence of borate fertilization on the initial growth of eucalyptus (Clone I 144). Although there was no interaction between the sources of boron in the development of the initial dendrometric attributes, there was variation between the sources in relation to the concentration of boron in the plant tissue.

El proceso de madurez del conflicto: ¿por qué se firmó un acuerdo de paz con las FARC en Colombia?
Authors: Molina Correa Javier Alexander , Vargas Velázquez Sergio
Published: August 2022

Se analiza la firma del acuerdo de paz entre las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) y el gobierno de este país en 2016 sobre la base de la construcción de un entramado analítico que combina los modelos del concepto de madurez del conflicto de Christopher Mitchell y los aspectos favorecedores y obstructores en las negociaciones de paz. Se revisan las negociaciones previas entre la guerrilla y las administraciones anteriores que no lograron la firma de un acuerdo de paz en el siglo XX con el fin de comprender logros, errores y lecciones aprendidas. Además se aborda la administración de Juan Manuel Santos en un escenario que mezcla factores propios de la estructura y la agencia para ampliar el potencial explicativo del concepto utilizado. Se concluye que la madurez del conflicto en Colombia es un proceso que rebasa la versión de derrota militar de la insurgencia y la aproxima a una igualación estratégica que vio en la firma de un acuerdo de paz una oportunidad de alcanzar los objetivos y de responder, al menos parcialmente, a los intereses de los principales actores confrontados

Linking university-wide key competencies and discipline specific major competencies for designing competency-based major curricula in Korean higher education
Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, You Ji-Sun , Kim Dukpa
Published: August 2022

Objectives Competency-based education in Korean higher education is twofold - university-wide key competencies which shape the educational direction of the institution and discipline specific major competencies on which major education is based. As such, linking key competencies and major competencies in a systematic way can contribute to achieving totality and unity of university's major curricula. This study aims at laying the foundation for the systematization of competency-based higher education by developing systematic ways of linking key competencies and major competencies via understanding of the current status of competency-based education in Korean universities.
Methods This study proposes four models of linking key competencies and major competencies that are developed from the comparative analysis of five universities in Korea. To validate the proposed model, FGI is conducted with curriculum experts, and the applicability of the model is explored by a survey among professors at major universities in Korea.
Results First, this study finds the current competency-based education in Korean universities exhibit both a limitation and an advantage. Competency-based education was introduced among Korean universities as a means to evaluate education quality by the Ministry of Education. Oftentimes, competencies were selected without the interest and consensus of school members and competency-based curricula were not properly implemented. As a result, competency-based education in Korean universities was not fully functional in developing students' actual competencies. Nevertheless, the introduction of competency-based education contributed to the advancement of education quality management by systematizing a curriculum feedback system that reflects the needs of learners and society and emphasizing educators' responsibilities. Second, this study proposes four models of linking key competencies and major competencies, which are labelled as core major competencies model, equivalent key-major competencies model, overlapping key-major competencies model, inclusive major competencies model. They differ by the relative scope and specificity of key and major competencies.
Conclusions Competency-based education in Korean higher education is in its initial stage. The four models that this study proposes can be utilized to further develop current competency-based major curricula.

Authors:   Korean Association For Learner-Centered Curriculum And Instruction, Kim Kyungmin , Lee Hana
Published: August 2022

Objectives In this study, the effect of body mass index (BMI) and physical self-concept of normal-weight adolescents on mental health was investigated, and the purpose of this study was to examine whether a gender-controlled mediating effect was shown in these relationships.
Methods For this purpose, all of the variables (gender, height, weight, physical self-concept, mental health) that adolescents and parents want to use in this study among the 6th year data (first year of high school) of the Korean Educational Longitudinal Study 2013 of the Korea Educational Development Institute. 5,763 people who responded to the question were selected, and among them, 4,208 normal-weight subjects were selected. As measurement tools, gender, height, weight, physical self-concept, and self-esteem scales were used.
Results First, the gender of normal-weight adolescents was found to moderate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical self-concept and between physical self-concept and mental health. Second, in the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical self-concept of normal-weight adolescents on mental health, gender had a moderated mediating effect. The indirect effect was significant only in female students.
Conclusions This study suggests that there should be differences according to gender in suggesting ways to improve the mental health of adolescents who are sensitive to body image. In particular, it showed that female students need more attention than male students to form a physical self-concept positively.

Didáticas insurgentes da relação professor e estudante no ensino de Filosofia
Authors: Silva Fabrício Oliveira da
Published: August 2022

O trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as didáticas insurgentes que professores de Filosofia desenvolvem na universidade. As discussões partem da compreensão de conceber que os professores da  área de Filosofia habitam a profissão docente revelando práticas que emergem da relação com os estudantes e das tessituras peculiares do campo filosófico. O estudo ancora-se na abordagem (auto)biográfica, por facultar a aproximação do objeto de estudo com a epistemologia (auto)biográfica, pois quem narra a própria vida, ao narrar, estabelece relações temporais e situacionais consigo mesmo e com aqueles com quem se relaciona pedagogicamente durante a sua atuação profissional. O dispositivo de pesquisa utilizado foram as entrevistas narrativas, desenvolvidas com quatro professores que atuam nos cursos de licenciatura em      Filosofia em duas universidades públicas do estado da Bahia. Os resultados apontaram que as didáticas insurgentes estão caracterizadas por estratégias que os docentes utilizam para desenvolver aulas de Filosofia na universidade, mobilizados pela necessidade de interação professor e estudante nos contextos de aulas remotas.

Published: August 2022

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar as  implicações da Covid-19 na prática de atividades lúdicas e na aprendizagem dos alunos dos 6 a 7 anos de idade. O estudo foi realizado numa das escolas primárias completas da cidade de Lichinga, Província de Niassa, em Moçambique, no período compreendido entre 2020 a 2021. Para o alcance desse objetivo foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa. Para o processo de recolha de dados recorreu-se a técnica de entrevista estruturada aplicada a quatro professores. O tratamento de dados foi feito por meio das técnicas de análise de conteúdo e de triagulação de dados.Os resultados revelam que a Covid-19 limitou a prática de atividades lúdicas em sala de aula e, consequentemente, o desenvolvimento da aprendizagem dos alunos por meio de brincandeiras. Assim sendo, urge a necessidade de se repensar nas atividades lúdicas que possam ser realizadas individualmente em tempos da pandemia da Covid-19.

Indicador de confianza del consumidor en méxico a través de un sistema de inferencia difuso
Authors: Ortigosa Hernández Mauricio
Published: August 2022

El presente escrito es una aplicación al marketing de los llamados sistemas de inferencia difusos. Estos sistemas tienen la propiedad de trabajar con información similar a como lo hace el pensamiento humano utilizando variables lingüísticas de entrada y salida, y un conjunto de reglas difusas elaboradas previamente a través del conocimiento sobre el tema y/o con apoyo de expertos. En México el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía (INEGI) publica mensualmente un indicador de confianza del consumidor a partir de una encuesta de 15 preguntas de las cuales cinco de ellas son utilizadas para obtener dicho indicador. El sistema difuso propuesto, toma como base la misma información del INEGI con la diferencia de obtener el indicador de confianza a través de un conjunto de reglas difusas y mecanismos de inferencia por el método Mamdani mediante el programa Mathlab. Para probar la consistencia en los resultados que arroja el sistema, se calcularon para cada mes los indicadores de confianza del consumidor de diciembre del 2012 a noviembre del 2020 y se compararon con las cifras oficiales obteniendo una buena correlación entre ambos.

El presente capítulo deriva de un proyecto de investigación, cuyo objetivo fue determinar las herramientas para alcanzar la monetización de un canal digital a través del marketing de contenido. La importancia del tema radica en que YouTube es la segunda red social más visitada, sólo después de Facebook y es la de mayor almacenamiento de videos online, pero muy pocas personas conocen la manera de monetizar un canal, siendo el marketing de contenido una oportunidad para hacerlo, pues los contenidos audiovisuales digitales permiten obtener ingresos por medio de la publicidad y otros elementos. El planteamiento de problema radica en la gran cantidad de información y mensajes que inunda las redes y medios sociales, así como el número de usuarios que cada vez se multiplica con mayor velocidad, y existe el reto para los creadores de contenido de mantenerse actualizados para lograr la monetización, tema poco conocido y documentado, por ello, es importante conocer las herramientas para alcanzar la monetización de un canal digital a través del marketing de contenido. La investigación fue de tipo formulativa, con un método de enfoque cualitativo por medio de observación participante y netnografía, los sujetos de estudio fueron creadores de contenido (youtubers) con canal monetizado. Los hallazgos más importantes indican que las herramientas para monetizar un canal, principalmente se enfocan en la segmentación, en el conocimiento del público, en la continuidad del contenido, en la ayuda que el canal representa para el usuario en algún tema de su interés, entre otros factores, además de que existen diversas formas de monetizar un canal, como publicidad, aplicaciones digitales, patrocinios y venta de artículos promocionales.
