Reporte de caso clínico inusual, Mucinosis folicular
Authors: Bastidas Torres Deysi Milena , Bastidas Torres Deysi Milena , Pazmiño Velez Erick Sebastián , Cadena Benavides Jenifer Astrid
Published: October 2024

La mucinosis folicular ha sido un trastorno cutáneo poco común caracterizado por el depósito difuso de mucina en la piel, particularmente en la unidad pilosebácea. La afección ha formado parte de las mucinosis cutáneas, un grupo de trastornos caracterizados por una acumulación anormal de mucina, una sustancia gelatinosa que se  encuentró en la matriz extracelular de la piel. La causa de la mucinosis folicular no ha estado completamente establecida, lo que ha  significado que sus orígenes han seguido siendo inciertos. Sin embargo, se reconoció que puede presentarse en dos formas clínicas diferentes: primaria (también llamada idiopática) y secundaria. La mucinosis folicular primaria ocurre sin una causa subyacente clara, tiende a afectar a adultos jóvenes, suele ser autolimitada y tiene un pronóstico favorable. Las formas secundarias, por otro lado, pueden estar asociadas con afecciones benignas, como la dermatitis seborreica, o con afecciones malignas, incluidos los linfomas cutáneos de células T, especialmente la micosis fungoide. Entre los casos clínicos analizados se brinda un reporte detallado de la mucinopatía folicular, enfatizando las características clínicas del paciente, el diagnóstico diferencial y las estrategias de manejo terapéutico implementadas. Este enfoque es fundamental para abordar adecuadamente la enfermedad, ya que los tratamientos pueden variar mucho según la presentación y las asociaciones malignas o benignas subyacentes que puedan existir.

Tracing the Historical Roots of Urban Transformation: The Case of Portoviejo, Ecuador
Authors: CHOEZ-GARCÉS Kelvin , GUILLÉN-VIVAS Mirian , LOOR Ignacio
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the historical trajectory of Portoviejo, Ecuador, to address how urban planning often overlooks the significance of historical processes, leading to fragmentation and neglect of culturally important spaces. While urban transformation literature has explored the socio-economic, environmental, and infrastructural drivers of change, a gap remains in understanding the specific historical contexts that shape cities in developing countries. This study aims to bridge this gap by exploring key moments in Portoviejo’s development, including its colonial foundation, natural disasters, and modernization efforts, and how they have shaped its urban form. Using a mixed-methods qualitative approach, the research analyses 63 historical documents and local archives, combined with Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping to trace urban growth and spatial reorganization. The findings reveal that Portoviejo’s development has been shaped by colonial policies, infrastructural changes such as the introduction of the railway, and natural disasters that led to urban fragmentation and informal settlements. The study highlights that understanding the historical trajectory of cities is essential for developing urban planning strategies that are resilient and contextually grounded. For practitioners, this research underscores the importance of integrating historical insights into planning processes to ensure development aligns with the socio-cultural identity and long-term resilience of cities.

Cette réflexion centrée sur la géopolitique néocoloniale en République Démocratique du Congo relève les mécanismes à travers lesquels l’impérialisme occidental se perpétue dans la gestion publique de ce pays. Au seuil des analyses, il ressort que cette stratégique de stabilité hégémonique occidentale se base sur le néocolonialisme politique par la manipulation et un système démocratique imposé. Il s’agit aussi d’un néocolonialisme économique par le contrôle des ressources naturelles et l’inféodation des politiques par des aides supposées au développement et sur un système éducatif occidental en manque d’imaginaire créateur et constructeur basé sur la bureaucratie qu’à l’entrepreneuriat. Mots-clés : géopolitique néocoloniale, néocolonialisme politique et économique, système éducatif occidentalisé.

Flood risk analysis is the instrument by which floodplain and stormwater utility managers create a sound strategy and adaptation plans to reduce flood potential in their communities. As a result, there is a need to develop a flood risk screening tool to analyze watersheds and find vulnerable areas by leveraging the scientific and technological developments of the last decade to prioritize improvements. Because local municipalities are continuously challenged by the impacts of changes in precipitation and other climatic events, the screening tool needs to be scalable, while providing similar results of spatial inundation extent regardless of the scale.  Likewise, the ability to perform this analysis without overwhelming limited modeling budgets is a goal for local governments who may spend large amounts of money on capital in the future to retrofit their stormwater management systems. The present study investigates the scalability of a GIS-based hydrologic-hydraulic model, CASCADE2001, to support development of watershed-based flood protection plans. The comparative analysis of the predicted flood response at three nested levels of scale were applied in south Florida to a 8-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC) level (the Caloosahatchee Watershed), a 12-digit HUC level (the Ninemile Canal Subwatershed within the Caloosahatchee Watershed), and a local municipal level (City of Clewiston, Florida within the Ninemile Canal subwatershed).  The findings were that the model was scalable and the infrastructure that mattered with respect to results was driven by the scale.
Contribution of Landsat Multispectral Images to the Land Cover Dynamics of the Toéghin-Bangré Watershed for the Period 1998 to 2022 in Burkina Faso
Authors: Bako Inès , Koussoube Youssouf
Published: October 2024

Remote sensing plays an important role in the continuous observation of the earth's surface. It produces large databases that can be used to map and monitor natural resources. To this end, land-use maps are genuine planning and decision-making tools for natural resource management. The aim of this study is to use remote sensing products to show the dynamics of land use, to understand these dynamics and their impact on water resources in general and on hydrology in particular. Specifically, it is a question of identifying the similarities and differences that have occurred, and finally evaluating the rate of change. The methodology adopted is the use of the likelihood algorithm to produce three thematic classifications for the years 1998, 2010 and 2022. Overall accuracy is determined from the confusion matrix, which ranges from 80% to 91%. Supervised classification yielded seven occupancy classes: water bodies, cultivated areas, gallery forests, habitats/outcrops, grassy savannahs, wooded savannahs and bare ground. Quantification of change from 1998 to 2022, assessed by the rate of change (Tc), shows a progressive trend estimated at 31.82% (habitats/outcrops) and 43.40% (grassy savannah), and a regressive trend estimated at -17.92% (cultivated areas); -95.15% (gallery forests); -51.93% (water bodies) and -78.36% (bare ground). At the end of our study, diachronic analysis enabled us to quantify changes between the years 1998-2010, 2010-2022 and overall 1998-2022 with good precision.
DNA and its Mosaic Structure
Authors: Nicolaidis Argyris
Published: October 2024

We consider that the DNA is an information processing system, receiving, registering and transferring information. In DNA we encounter four different nucleotides, which may be considered as the “letters” of an alphabet. Each distinct DNA base may be represented equally well by a specific number and a DNA strand by a unique Gödel number G, where G is a product of prime numbers raised to appropriate powers. We studied the statistical distribution of g, the logarithm of G, in the case of equal probability for the four DNA bases. In the present work we extend our analysis in two different directions

We consider unequal probabilities for the DNA bases
We raise the issue of scaling. For relatively small DNA strands we use the prime number theorem and we obtain a Poisson distribution for the average g. The Poisson distribution depends upon a parameter λ, which connects together the DNA pattern and the prime number density. Different values for λ lead to a mosaic structure of DNA.

Our work indicates a strong link between DNA structure, its representation by Gödel’s numbers and the distribution of the prime numbers.
A Fundamental Problem in Physics: (Mass vs Electric Charge)
Authors: Nguyen Hoa van
Published: October 2024

In modern physics there exist opposite concepts regarding the constancy and the variability of two major properties of the electron: its mass and its electric charge. Section 1:  Mainstream physicists consider the mass of the electron as varying with its velocity while its electric charge as a fundamental constant of physics. Section 2:  On the other hand, many other physicists maintain the opposite concept:  the mass of the electron is invariant in all physical conditions while its electric charge is variable.  Section 3:  In the case when the mass is invariant, a mathematical expression for the variability of the electric charge of the electron in external fields will be deduced. Section 4: A thought experiment to demonstrate the variability of the electric charge of the electron in a changing magnetic field. Section 5:  Discussions: (1) Why is the electric charge changed in external field? 2) Renormalizing the mass is problematic 3) Renormalizing the electric charge is innovative 4) The mystery of the mass of the muon. 5) The controversial concept of time dilation.

Authors: Konate Famagan-Oulé , Dembele Boubacar Sidiki , Dembele Mamadou , N'diaye Baba Faradji
Published: October 2024

Since 1960, cotton cultivation has experienced considerable expansion in the Koutiala district of Mali. This expansion has not been without consequences on people’s health and natural resources in terms of soil, water and natural vegetation. Based on the analysis of satellite images and a socio-economic survey of production unit chiefs, this study highlights the degradation of soils, biological diversity, population health, and pollution of groundwater and surface water. To reduce these effects, the adoption of good agroecological practices, the organic cotton farming, the reduction of the use of chemicals, and the sustainable management of water and soil are becoming a necessity to ensure sustainable management of environmental resources and the preservation of the livelihoods of local producers.
Echoes of Speculation Underway in Relations Between the Occident and China
Authors: Cossiga Giovanni Antonio
Published: October 2024

In a previous article I talked about speculative waves in sequence that have hit the global economy since the 2000s in a world struggling with deflation. Well, this wave of speculation has not stopped but today it seems to concern the transfer of industrial plants from the West to China. A process that was born with the good intentions of transferring industrial activities to developing countries with the dual objective. Give a boost to the economy in developing areas and at the same time reduce the management costs of large multinationals' plants. A process therefore that was born with a positive sign in the intent to help a coordinated development of the territories and a reduction in the costs of industrial products. Meanwhile, the objective of coordinating the development of the territories and continents has not been achieved and on the contrary the process has led to an almost exclusive delocalization of industrial production from the West to China. The excess of industrial localization has exacerbated the concentration of unassimilable waste with a worsening of the disease of the planet struggling with atmospheric overheating. The process, therefore, has been slowed down but not stopped for natural reasons. On the other hand, the acceleration of the development of the Chinese economy has also marked a halt coinciding with the spread of the global epidemic. After about fifty years of accelerated economic growth, the Chinese community has sensed the change in the country's economic prospects and has pulled the brakes on both consumption and investments, marking the end of the accelerated race on the road to development. The picture of the speculative evolution of industrial delocalization processes sees together the interest of mega companies in reducing management costs which is congenial to the increase in the financial values of companies that increase on the Western stock exchanges. In other words, delocalization helps reduce management costs and at the same time seems to support ultra increasing financial values. In short, it plays into the hands of speculation which is certainly not the interest of global social and economic development which instead requires coordination of the territories on the road to development. With the further dilemma that the fate of the global economy may be in the hands of the Boards of Directors of mega companies and not of states and communities.​

Do South Asian Politicians Use More Metaphors Than Western Politicians? A Corpus-Based Comparative Study Of Metaphor In Bangladesh, British, And American Political Discourse
Authors: Mir Sabbir Hasan
Published: October 2024

Several studies have investigated the relationship between metaphor and politics; however, no research has specifically focused on the use of metaphors by Bangladeshi politicians. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the use of conceptual metaphors by Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina Wazed, drawing from the three major source domains of CONFLICT, JOURNEY, and RELIGION. The findings are then compared to those from a study by Charteris-Black (2004), which examined variations in metaphor choice in the inaugural speeches of American Presidents and the party political manifestos of two British political parties from 1974-1997. Since there are no available corpora in the Bangladesh context, I compiled a corpus with 91 speeches from PM Hasina Wazed, containing a total of 101,490 words. Data was analyzed using AntConc software. As Bangladesh is a developing country where religion holds a significant influence, this paper sheds light on how economic development programs have impacted the use of metaphors, while surprisingly religion has not. Additionally, there are some shreds of evidence of family and personal elements appearing in the data.
Methods of Supervisor Feedback: What Works, Matters, and is Sustainable for Pre-service Teachers
Authors: Moore Sarah Edwards
Published: October 2024

Pre-service teachers entering their student teaching experience are required to be given regular feedback from their supervisor. This feedback, depending on the student teaching experience can be given in a very streamlined way or given sporadically. This study looks at how one supervisor gave feedback to a group of 12 pre-service teachers, how that feedback was received, and what type of feedback was reflected upon as being the most useful.  Implications for this study include a call for using more hands on and face to face feedback methods.
Toward a Push-Pull Model of Leader Sensegiving During Crisis: A Content Analysis of United Nations Security Council Communications
Authors: Collier Donovan
Published: October 2024

Leader sensegiving during crisis situations has received limited empirical research attention in the management and organization literature, despite the important role it plays in addressing organizational crises. This study examines how the tone of leader sense-giving messages changes as crises unfold, so as to provide a point of departure for future research assessing the efficacy of sense-giving efforts amid crises. Toward this end, I develop a conceptual push-pull model of leader sensegiving in crisis, then test key relationships between crisis conditions, sensegiving activity, and leader message tone. Analysis of a sample of United Nations Security Council presidential statements suggests that increased leader sensegiving activity is associated with worsening crisis conditions and that leader messages tend to adopt a linguistic tone that is visceral and steeped in language that references forceful action when the intensity of crisis conditions is high.  Furthermore, leader messages addressing deteriorating crises are associated with relatively high levels of exclusionary, aggressive language but low levels of collectiveness and praise. Directions for future leader sense-giving in crisis research are also discussed.

Authors: Asl Mostafa Ghafari , Mamhoori Ali , Pilannejad Mohsen
Published: October 2024

Innovation districts are experiencing growth and expansion. Currently, these districts are not only centers for innovation, commerce, research and education; but they have also evolved into hubs for recreational, cultural and social activities. However, the various dimensions of innovation districts remain relatively understudied and ambiguous. The aim of this study is to frame the concept of the innovation district and provide a conceptual model of it. Identifying the different features of innovation districts and providing a synthesis of them is another objective of this research. Additionally, addressing the important question of how to create and expand innovation districts is part of the current research objectives. The data collection method employed in this study is systematic review. 25 sources were reviewed as the final sources to primarily address the objectives of this research. The method for data analysis and articles used is the structure of qualitative content analysis. Various definitions and concepts of innovation zones were analyzed for this study. In the next stage, the concept of innovation zones was examined based on its existential philosophy, and the initial conceptual model of the innovation zone was extracted. This conceptual model includes 5 dimensions: specifications, actors, assets, capabilities, and characteristics. This study also describes policies and planning schemes to improve participation and cooperation in innovation zones.
Multiculturalism: The Trojan Horse Inside the Walls
Authors: Matziouri Apostolia
Published: October 2024

The recent worrying developments in the Western World and after some people’s urging, I return to the survey conducted 12 years ago regarding the management of students from different cultural backgrounds at the administrative level in the Regional Unit of Kavala, which covered 72% of the educational administrators. At that time, it became evident that the managers were over-eager to adopt methods and tools, implement programs, be trained in intercultural issues, reconfigure the timetable and school premises and make any other changes, in order to provide migrant children with the maximum opportunities for integration and progress. However, serious reservations were also expressed about the phenomenon of immigration itself, which was beginning to grow out of control, and distrust of the role played by the EU and the official bodies responsible for managing immigration policy. In this article we will examine 12 years after what remains unchanged from that multidimensional investigation, what has changed, which fears were unfounded and which are confirmed every day.
Melanin, The Perfect Candidate to Be the Dark Matter
Authors: Herrera Arturo Solis
Published: October 2024

Everything scientists can observe in the universe, from people to planets, is made of matter. Matter is defined as any substance that has mass and occupies space. But there’s more to the universe than the matter we can see. Dark matter and dark energy are mysterious substances that affect and shape the cosmos, and scientists are still trying to figure them out. Invisible dark matter makes up most of the universe (96 %) – but we can only detect it from its gravitational effects. Galaxies in our universe seem to be achieving an impossible feat. They are rotating with such speed that the gravity generated by their observable matter could not possibly hold them together; they should have torn themselves apart long ago. The same is true of galaxies in clusters, which leads scientists to believe that something we cannot see is at work. They think something we have yet to detect directly is giving these galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity they need to stay intact. This strange and unknown matter was called “dark matter” since it is not visible. The melanin of living beings and the dark matter of the universe share the same physical/chemical characteristics, including the unsuspected ability to transform the power of light into chemical energy, by dissociating water molecules, as in plants.
Praktik Pembatalan Akad Rahn (Gadai) Perspektif Ulama Fikih Empat Mazhab
Authors: Soleh Somadin Asep
Published: October 2024

Gadai atau rahn adalah akad utang-piutang di mana debitur menyerahkan barang sebagai jaminan kepada kreditor. Barang yang dijadikan jaminan ini memberikan rasa aman bagi kreditor terhadap pinjaman yang diberikan. Namun, terkadang kreditor memanfaatkan barang tersebut dengan izin dari debitur. Ketika debitur mengembalikan barang jaminan dan melunasi utangnya, ia menganggap akad gadai telah berakhir. Sebaliknya, kreditor mungkin merasa akad belum selesai karena ada biaya perawatan barang yang belum dibayar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui praktik pembatalan akad rahn di Desa Sukatani, Kecamatan Pacet, dan mengetahui pandangan ulama fikih empat mazhab mengenai praktik tersebut di Desa Sukatani. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode pendekatan konsep. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa di Desa Sukatani, akad rahn sering didasari oleh asas tolong-menolong. Meminjamkan uang dan menerima barang jaminan sebagai bentuk kepercayaan adalah praktik yang umum. Penerima gadai juga sering memanfaatkan barang jaminan hingga jatuh tempo. Biaya perawatan barang jaminan umumnya menjadi tanggung jawab debitur dan ditambahkan pada jumlah utang yang dipinjam. Menurut pandangan ulama fikih empat mazhab, akad rahn dianggap batal atau berakhir setelah barang jaminan diserahkan kembali kepada debitur dan utangnya dilunasi. Biaya perawatan yang belum terbayar tidak menjadi tanggung jawab debitur, karena dalam hal ini, kedua belah pihak dapat dianggap dirugikan.

Authors: Abboud Sahab , Ajeena Ruma , Yassein Hassan
Published: October 2024

In this paper, we design a new version of the RSA public key cryptosystem which utilizes the octonion polynomials that are elements of an octonion algebra with eight-dimensions. In the proposed version, which is called OP-RSA cryptosystem, the keys are created as the octonion polynomials. The plaintext is chosen as an octonion polynomial and the ciphertext for it is an element in an octonion algebra (OA) which is an octonion polynomial as well. The decryption process is proved mathematically based on the octonion polynomials. The security issues are determined. The proposed OP-RSA cryptosystem is more secure in comparison with other presented versions.

Aging is a physiological process determined by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, being a normal and inevitable process. The periorbital region is one of the first to show signs. This aging in the periorbital region is manifested by several anatomical changes that result in dark circles, wrinkles and sagging skin. These changes are influenced by factors such as the loss of adipose tissue volume and reduced collagen production, in addition to the projection of orbital fat and reduced skin elasticity. Given the significant aesthetic impact of these changes, effective treatment of dark circles has become a priority in aesthetic procedures. This study aimed to present and describe a treatment technique and its results in infraorbital pockets, using the non-invasive method of microfocused ultrasound. Through a case report involving a 50-year-old male patient with complaints of persistent dark circles, a treatment protocol was carried out with microfocused ultrasound using 60 shots per infraorbital region in two sessions, with an interval of 3 months. The evaluation of the results included photographic documentation and facial scanning, which showed a significant improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in infraorbital bags. The work concludes that microfocused ultrasound proved to be effective in treating localized fat and repositioning tissues in the dark circles region, promoting facial rejuvenation and representing a less invasive alternative to blepharoplasty. Results may vary depending on age, skin condition and technique used, in which case additional sessions may be necessary.

B Background Healthcare systems are currently undergoing significant transformation as part of the evolving change process. Perceived nurse readiness for change is crucial in successfully implementing and sustaining change. Leaders play an important role in evaluating employees' readiness for change. However, limited studies link between authentic leadership and perceived nurses readiness for organizational change. Aim This study explores the relationship between authentic leadership and nurses' perceived readiness for organizational change within healthcare settings in Jordan after controlling sociodemographic variables. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional correlation study includes 140 registered nurses who work in healthcare settings. A self-administered questionnaire was used, including authentic leadership and perceived nurse readiness for change scales. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, a t-test, an ANOVA, a Pearson correlation coefficient, and hierarchical regression. Results strong positive relationship was found between Authentic leadership and perceived nurses' readiness for change (r=0.65, p<.01), and a negative significant moderate correlation was found between age (r=-.29, p < 0.01) total experiences in nursing (r=-.35, p < 0.01) and total experience in current floor/units (r=-.31, p < 0.01). Authentic leadership subscales found to correlate with perceived readiness to change; relational transparency and self-awareness have the highest strong positive correlations (r=.64, p < .01),  (r=.63, p < .01) respectively . Hierarchical regression was conducted to control for sociodemographic variables, the result revealed that the overall model explained 50% of the variance for the perceived nurses readiness for change, with authentic leadership has the only significant predictor for this model after controlling sociodemographic variables (t=8.02, p<.0001). Conclusion The relationship between authentic leadership and perceived readiness for change is crucial to facilitating the success of organizational change. The result underscores the unique contribution of authentic leadership in improving perceived readiness for change. The authentic leader fosters trust and enhances communication, which empowers the employees to embrace the change process.

Climate change is a major threat that affects global crop production. Global warming impacts crop production through abiotic stresses. Drought is one of the biggest threats to wheat cultivation. In this regard, various technologies, such as breeding programs and genetic engineering, are being applied to cope with this threat. Such methods are expensive and time-consuming. Myriad adaptive mechanisms are used by wheat plants to cope with drought stress. However, plant associations with microbiomes have gained attention lately. There is much evidence of both endopytic and rhizospheric bacteria in promoting the growth of wheat plants under drought. Their effects on plants are either by triggering direct or indirect responses to mitigate drought stress. Such responses exist at physiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular levels. Biochemical such as the production of phytohormones, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), siderophore, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, antioxidants, osmolytes, and volatile organic compounds, in addition to solubilization of minerals and nitrogen fixation, or at molecular levels such as activation of stress genes and transcription factors. Or through many morphological and physiological responses, such as increasing relative water content (RWC) and root length and weight. Thus enhancing growth and tolerance for drought. This review highlights the potential of rhizospheric and endophytic bacteria to alleviate drought stress in wheat plants through different mechanisms, which are a sustainable and environmentally friendly way to mitigate drought.
