SPORT COMMUNICATION: REVEALING THE USE OF INSTRUCTIONAL COMMUNICATION ON FOOTBALL COACHING PROCESS
Authors: Wahyudi Dicky , Laturrahkmi Yun Fitrahyati
Published: July 2022

ASIFA is one of the most successful international standard football academies in football coaching. This success is inseparable from the communication process between coaches and students during coaching. During this time, research on sports communication highlighted the interaction between coaches and students that had not been widely studied from an instructional communication perspective. Therefore, this research aimed to identify the process of instructional communication between coaches and students in football coaching at ASIFA. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with three data collection techniques, i.e., observation, a document study, and in-depth interviews with coaches, students, and football coaching experts. The research results indicated that the process of instructional communication between coaches and students in football coaching at ASIFA could be identified through six interrelated elements: 1) Context; 2) Source – Sender; 3) Content – Message; 4) Instructional Strategy; 5) Receiver; and 6) Feedback. Through the perspective of instructional communication, it was found that there were conceptual differences between the roles of coaches and students in the coaching process. Practice-based coaching tended to use a rhetorical approach (one-way communication). Meanwhile, non-practical-based coaching used a relational approach (two-way communication). Then, this research contributed by producing a quadrant model of coaching communication in football coaching.
Masquer le masque

Published: July 2022

Résumé. La question de l’habillage en architecture est un fait. La relation qui s’établit entre habillage et habillé, entre Kernform et Kunstform est cruciale chez Karl Bötticher. Gottfried Semper quant à lui s’attache à la nature de l’habillage – ou du masque – pour faire entrer la construction dans le domaine de l’architecture. C’est le pavillon allemand de Barcelone qui nous sert de support à cette proposition semperienne.

Abstract. Dressing in architecture is a fact. The relationship established between dressing and dressed, between Kernform and Kunstform, is crucial for Bötticher. Gottfried Semper, on the other hand, focuses on the nature of the dressing - or the mask - to bring construction into the realm of architecture. The Barcelona Pavilion serves as an example in this Semperian proposal.
Digital models for life-cycle assessment and material-flow analysis of urban built stocks
Authors: Stephan André
Published: July 2022

Abstract. Buildings and infrastructure assets represent a significant share of human anthropogenic material stocks, energy use, and related environmental flows, including greenhouse gas emissions. Current methods for assessing built stocks at a city scale are neither detailed nor comprehensive enough, however. This piece provides and discusses requirements for digital models to quantify the combined life-cycle environmental performance and material-flow analysis of urban built stocks. It justifies why these models need to be bottom-up, parametric, multi-scale over the life cycle, and spatially explicit, and why they need to integrate uncertainty. The potential and limitations of such digital models are discussed.

Résumé. Les bâtiments et infrastructures représentent une grande partie du stock matériel anthropogénique, de l’utilisation d’énergie, et des flux environnementaux associés. Cependant, les méthodes actuelles d’évaluation des stocks bâtis à l’échelle urbaine ne sont pas assez détaillées et holistiques. Cet article présente et discute les exigences des modèles informatiques qui visent à quantifier à la fois la performance environnementale sur l’ensemble du cycle de vie et les flux de matière des stocks bâtis urbains. Ces modèles nécessitent des approches bottom-up, paramétriques, multi-échelle sur le cycle de vie. Ils doivent aussi être spatialisés et intégrer les incertitudes. Ces nécessités sont justifiées et discutées dans l’article, ainsi que les potentialités et les limites de ce type de modèles informatiques.

Résumé. À l’occasion des 850 ans de la cathédrale Notre Dame de Tournai et des vingt ans de son inscription sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, l’UCLouvain a rejoint la dynamique culturelle, insufflée par la Ville de Tournai et la Province de Hainaut, visant la mise à l’honneur de ce monument majeur de l’architecture belge. À travers diverses activités pédagogiques, LOCI-Tournai a élaboré des propositions de mise en valeur et de restauration/réaffectation du choeur gothique. L’objectif étant de stimuler l’imaginaire mais aussi la réflexion et les échanges en vue d’assurer un avenir au sanctuaire. S’appuyant sur le thème culturel de l’UCLouvain en 2020-2021, "l’imaginaire comme réponse", le projet a bénéficié d’un Fonds de Développement Culturel, s’achevant par deux expositions à LOCI-Tournai et à TAMAT.

Abstract. On the occasion of the 850th anniversary of Tournai Cathedral and the 20th anniversary of its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, UCLouvain-LOCI joined the City of Tournai and the Province of Hainaut in honouring this major monument of Belgian architecture. Through various educational activities, LOCI-Tournai developed proposals for the enhancement and restoration/reassignment of the Gothic choir. The objective is to stimulate the imagination but also to stimulate debate to ensure a future for the sanctuary. The project, based on UCLouvain’s cultural theme for 2020-2021, "the imaginary as a response", benefited from a Cultural Development Fund, and was the subject of exhibitions at LOCI-Tournai and TAMAT.

Authors:   Economic Research Institute FEB RAS, Suslov Denis
Published: July 2022

The article analyzed the dynamics and structure of trade interactions in the traditional commodity niches of the Far East of the Russian Federation in the PRC market in 2020–2021, considering the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). It was established that crisis phenomena did not cause a significant change in the structure of trade in the Russian Far East and China, while its dynamic characteristics in 2020 in general trade and export were preserved positive, and the fall was recorded in imports. But already at the end of 2021, mutual trade showed a significant growth rate – 28,1%. The content of promising projects is given as part of the implementation of the current program for the development of Russian-Chinese cooperation for 2018–2024. The problems of economic interactions of the PRC with the Far East of Russia and the implementation of projects of Russian-Chinese cooperation are also considered. The activation of Russian- Chinese relations in trade and implementation of investment projects could be achieved at the expense of the next. Firstly, in the practical plane it is necessary to scale the mechanisms of economic interactions that have developed and justified themselves for new regions. Secondly, to achieve a general understanding of both opportunities and barriers, risks of implementing joint projects. Thirdly, to continue to improve the business environment of Russian-Chinese cooperation as part of the development of institutional regimes for implementing investment projects and reducing barriers in mutual trade
The Thoughts of School Directors About Distance Education and Their Work in This Process
Authors: CENGİZ Ekrem , DASDEMİR İkrametin
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this research is to put forward the views of school directors about distance education studies that have been carried out during the covid 19 epidemic period in Turkey. The study used a case study method included in the qualitative research approach. The sample of the study was determined by the purposeful sampling method. The study was carried out with 27 school principals working in different school types (middle school and highs chool). The data were collected through an open-ended questionnaire form prepeared by the researchers and six questions. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the study, it was found that principals maintained regular continuation of distance education activities with programs such as EBA and Zoom, resolved systematic problems in the distance education process, ensured student attendance, and established EBA live course support points in their schools during the epidemic period. It has been suggested that school administrators may focus more on the delivery of live.
Míra meziškolní mobility žáků základních škol v Česku
Authors: Dvořák Dominik , Meyer Petr , Kučerová Silvie R.
Published: July 2022

Student transfers between schools or inter-school mobility is an important topic, as it is often associated with other unfavourable conditions for schooling. Repeated transfers may predict an increased likelihood of school failure. On the other hand, school mobility can also serve the school choice. Despite that, data on mobility rate in Czech education have not been available yet. In this study, we use complete set of administrative data on transfers to another school in all Czech basic (comprehensive primary and lower secondary) schools in the consecutive three years (about 150 thousand events). To eliminate structurally enforced transitions, we focused on fully organized schools (grade span of 1–9). The number of departures per year represents on average 3.81% of the number of students. However, there are significant regional differences in the rate of mobility, and we find even greater difference at the level of individual schools. These findings complement the current discussion on inequalities in Czech education and deserve further detailed study.
Doświadczenie religijne w życiu codziennym młodzieży polskiej w XXI wieku
Authors: Mariański Janusz
Published: July 2022

In these sociological analyzes we will pay attention to selected aspects of religious experience in the consciousness of Polish youth. On one hand, these will be the contents of a religious experience, that is, everything that a person experiences in his relation to God and that gives him grounds for believing; on the other hand, to approximate the function of religious experience in shaping attitudes towards faith and living it every day. In the light of the results of sociological research carried out in youth circles, we analyze three issues: the experience of God’s presence in the consciousness of young people, religious experience in everyday life, religious faith and a sense of security. If we characterize a person’s religiosity from the point of view of believing in a personal God whom a person wants to trust and expects help from, the examined youth turned out to be moderately religious. Various manifestations of religious experience were emphasized more often by women than by men, college students more often than secondary school students, youth living in the countryside more often than those living in the city, having parents with primary education more often than with higher education.
Blue-green neutrophilic inclusion bodies with concurrent liver failure as a predictor of imminent death
Authors: Rivera Antonio Sierra , Valdelvira María García , Elia Martínez María A. , Martí Ángeles Férez , Benito Goitzane Marcaida
Published: July 2022

Objectives

Blue-green, birefractory, poorly-defined, cytoplasmic inclusions in some types of leukocytes are an underdiagnosed finding, which composition and clinical significance is not well understood. Inclusions are only found on peripheral blood smear (PBS).

Case presentation

We report the case of a male with a history of chronic disease (hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, and kidney failure) admitted to the emergency room (ER) with shortness of breath, who was later transferred to the intensive care unit (ICU). The patient had a torpid disease course and ultimately died of multiorgan failure, including severe liver failure. When his status exacerbated, these inclusions were observed on PBS in conjunction with liver enzyme abnormalities.

Conclusions

This case confirms that blue-green inclusions on PBS in cases of acute severe liver failure with concurrent lactic acidosis should be immediately reported to the medical team, since it is suggestive of critical status and poor prognosis.

The effect of high-intensity interval training on serum and adipose tissues vaspin levels in rats fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet
Authors: Delpisheh Ali , Safarzade Alireza
Published: July 2022

Background

Vaspin is an adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing and anti-inflammatory traits.

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on serum, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue vaspin levels in rats exposed to a diet high in fat and sugar (HFS).

Materials and methods

Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into HFS and standard diet (SD) groups. After 12 weeks, each group was divided into sedentary and HIIT groups. HIIT program was performed 3 times/week for 8 weeks. Retroperitoneal adipose tissue, inguinal adipose tissue and serum were collected to analyze vaspin levels. Also, serum glucose and insulin levels, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) and retroperitoneal and inguinal fat weights were measured.

Results

HFS significantly increased weight gain, weight of inguinal (p=0.001) and retroperitoneal fat depots (p<0.001), serum glucose levels (p<0.001) and HOMA-IR (p<0.001). The HIIT was able to decline weight gain and fat mass (p<0.05) but did not affect inguinal and retroperitoneal fat depots’ vaspin levels. Eight weeks’ HIIT significantly increased serum vaspin (p=0.002) and decreased insulin (p=0.001) levels only in rats fed with SD.

Conclusions

Although the HIIT program can cause significantly reducing effects on weight gain and fat depots’ weights, it does not effect on circulating and fat depots’ vaspin levels in rats fed an HFS.
Advantages of monitoring rT3 and dividing LT3 dose in the treatment of consumptive hypothyroidism associated with infantile hepatic hemangioma
Authors: Numazawa Masaya , Tomari Kouki , Igaki Junko , Koki Minako , Kina Yoko , Matsuoka Takashi
Published: July 2022

Objectives

In consumptive hypothyroidism associated with infantile hepatic hemangiomas (IHH), elevated reverse triiodothyronine (rT3) is known due to elevated D3. This report shows that rT3 is a new indicator of IHH progression and that three divided doses of LT3 per day were more effective than a single dose.

Case presentation

A 23 day-old boy was diagnosed with diffuse IHH and severe hypothyroidism with high rT3. Propranolol and LT4 were administered. Hemangiomas gradually diminished and rT3 decreased, but the thyroid-stimulating hormone remained elevated, and free triiodothyronine (fT3) did not normalize after 2 weeks of treatment. Liothyronine (LT3) was started as a single dose and then divided into three doses after 1 week, which stabilized thyroid function.

Conclusions

rT3 levels were less variable and decreased in conjunction with tumor shrinkage; thus, rT3 is an indicator of therapeutic outcomes for IHH. LT3 administered in divided doses aided in managing IHH-associated hypothyroidism.

Photonic edge states provide a novel platform to control and enhance light–matter interactions. Recently, it becomes increasing popular to generate such localized states using the bulk-edge correspondence of topological photonic crystals. While the topological approach is elegant, the design and fabrication of these complex photonic topological crystals is tedious. Here, we report a simple and effective strategy to construct and steer photonic edge state in a plasmonic meta-array, which just requires a small number of plasmonic nanoparticles to form a simple lattice. To demonstrate the idea, different lattice configurations, including square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices of meta-arrays, are fabricated and measured by using an ultrahigh spatial resolution photoemission electron microscopy. The properties of edge states depend on the geometric details such as the row and column number of the lattice, as well as the gap distance between the particles. Moreover, numerical simulations show that the excited edge states can be used for the generation of the quantum entanglement. This work not only provides a new platform for the study of nanoscale photonic devices, but also open a new way for the fundamental study of nanophotonics based on edge states.
Perireceptor events and peripheral modulation of olfactory signals in the olfactory epithelium of vertebrates
Authors: Manzini Ivan
Published: July 2022

The olfactory epithelium (OE) and its associated perireceptor space, i.e., the mucus layer (ML) covering the epithelium, are the most peripheral parts of the vertebrate olfactory system. The olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs), one of the cell types of the OE, are the odorant detectors of the olfactory system. These bipolar neurons extend their apical appendages, which express odorant receptors, into the ML. The binding of odorants to odorant receptors is the initial step of odor processing. The vast majority of research on the peripheral olfactory system has focused on the ORNs and the molecular components of the olfactory transduction cascades. Less attention has been directed to the other cell types of the OE and their physiological functions. For a long time, it was assumed that the olfactory signals detected in the OE are transmitted to the olfactory bulb without preprocessing, but this view turned out to be over-simplistic. It has been shown that the olfactory signals are critically modulated already in the OE. Despite compelling evidence, many descriptions of the olfactory system still ignore the existence of these peripheral modulatory mechanisms. The importance of peripheral modulation of the olfactory signals, the physiological functions of the other epithelial cell types, the extrinsic innervation of the olfactory mucosa, and the perireceptor space are only slowly coming into focus in the olfactory research. Furthermore, several intraepithelial signaling pathways that signal epithelial damage and initiate regenerative processes have recently been discovered. This review provides a concise overview of the current knowledge of peripheral events in the olfactory mucosa and the perireceptor space.
Kacheln, Mosaike, Raster: Kalkulierte Natürlichkeit in der digitalen Farbfotografie
Authors: Schnetz Jakob
Published: July 2022

Die fotografisch beschriebene Welt ist heute zumeist eine in Farbe. Vor allem bei angewandten Gebrauchsweisen des Mediums, wie beispielsweise der Repro- und Werbefotografie, geht mit ihr nicht selten das Versprechen chromatischer Treue einher. Doch was genau steht hinter einem solchen Umgang mit farbigen Fotografien? Am Beispiel eines als farbtreu bezeichneten fotografischen Verfahrens werden die apparativen Bedingungen digitaler Farbigkeit untersucht und die ihnen zugrundeliegenden Ideen kritisch befragt: Der Prozess offenbart kalkulatorische, technische Vorentscheidungen und -einstellungen, von denen das fehleranfällige fotografierende Subjekt auch aus ökonomischen Gründen weitgehend ausgeschlossen ist. Nicht zuletzt dient das Verfahren der virtuellen Übermittlung von Ware als möglichst exakter bildlicher Präsenzmachung von materiell Abwesendem. Die Gewährleistung von chromatischer Akkuratesse in digitalen Fotos funktioniert dabei innerhalb ihrer apparativen Bedingungen – doch epistemisch bleibt sie letztlich immer nur eine unsichtbare und vorentschiedene Möglichkeit des Bildes.
Kann Spuren von Nitrat enthalten: Eine Bestandsanalyse von Filmen im Bildarchiv der ETH-Bibliothek Zürich mit dem SurveNIR-System
Authors: Lichtblau Dirk Andreas , Graf Nicole
Published: July 2022

Filme, die aus dem selbstentzündlichen Cellulosenitrat (Nitrocellulose) bestehen, stellen bekanntlich eine erhebliche Brandgefahr dar. Es liegt daher auch in der Verantwortung des Bildarchivs der Bibliothek der Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule (ETH) Zürich, das Risiko durch Cellulosenitratfilme in den Magazinräumen zu minimieren. Voraussetzung für entsprechende Maßnahmen ist die Identifizierung des Anteils an Cellulosenitratfilm pro Bestand. Mit dem SurveNIR-System der Firma Lichtblau e. K. Dresden wurde innerhalb von fünfzehn Monaten das Material von 35 109 Proben identifiziert und der Alterungszustand untersucht. Das entspricht einem Anteil von 1,36 % des geschätzten Gesamtbestandes. Zusammen mit einer visuellen Erfassung typischer Schadensbilder entstand eine objektive und umfangreiche Datenbasis für die Konservierungs- und Erhaltungsmaßnahmen der nächsten zehn Jahre.
Masterpiece Theater Redux: “Chefs-d’œuvre photographiques du MoMA : la collection Thomas Walther”, Jeu de Paume, September 14, 2021 to February 13, 2022
Authors: Solomon-Godeau Abigail
Published: July 2022

The recent exhibition at the Musée Jeu de Paume in Paris, entitled „Chefs-d’œuvre photographiques du MoMA: la collection Thomas Walther“, the first presented under the new directorship of Quentin Bajac, was well received. A closer examination of the exhibition and its premises, however, beginning with the title’s grandiose term “masterpieces”, raises a number of issues when a private collector’s sales to a major museum are presented in ways that occult the commercial underpinnings of the purchase and sale of private collections. We may also ask if a collector’s personal selection of photographs from a specific time period -- here, 1900 to 1940 – operates to replace history with connoisseurship. Last, such an exhibition seems to suggest a different direction for the museum which under the previous directorship of Marta Gili strove for gender equity in its exhibitions, and a distinctly ecumenical approach to the medium.
Experimentally testing the interpretation of multiple sluicing and multiple questions in Hungarian
Authors: Ronai Eszter , Stigliano Laura
Published: July 2022

Hungarian multiple sluicing has been claimed to only be allowed in contexts that set up a pair-list, but not a single-pair reading. This has been taken as evidence that multiple sluicing is derived from multiple wh-fronting questions, which only license pair-list, but not single-pair answers. Providing novel experimental evidence, we show that all three relevant constructions in Hungarian – multiple sluicing, single wh-fronting questions, and multiple wh-fronting questions – in fact pattern alike in their answerhood conditions: both pair-list and single-pair readings are allowed, with a modest preference for single-pair readings. Based on our results, we thus argue that answerhood conditions are not sufficient to determine the source of multiple sluicing.

The protection of Egyptian reinforcing concrete infrastructures from corrosion is a pressing and critical task for construction engineering and industry, particularly in coastal locations. The primary aim of this case study is to integrate the advantages of both sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP) and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) in a single cathodic protection (CP) system and to use the new system in Alamein New Place near the Mediterranean sea (Egypt). The results showed that the new cathodic protection system is running very well to protect the concrete iron bars from corrosion. With the passage of time, the protective system’s efficiency and stability improve. During 30 days, the zinc anode’s potentials remain much more negative, indicating that the zinc anode can retain strong electrochemical activity for an extended length of time. The application of the CP method decreases the corrosion rate of rebar steel in concrete samples over time, according to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).
Ganzflicker Reveals the Complex Relationship Between Visual Mental Imagery and Pseudo-Hallucinatory Experiences: A Replication and Expansion
Authors: Reeder Reshanne R
Published: July 2022

Rhythmic visual flicker is known to elicit pseudo-hallucinations, making it an up-and-coming method to investigate anomalous perceptual experiences without pharmaceutical intervention. Ganzflicker is a full-screen visual flicker that can be experienced online. In the first exploratory Ganzflicker paper (N = 204), we investigated whether people with different self-reported visual mental imagery abilities report different visual experiences in the Ganzflicker. Results showed that people with no-to-low imagery (aphantasia distribution) were much less likely to experience complex and vivid pseudo-hallucinations compared to people with moderate-to-vivid imagery (imagery distribution). In this follow-up, I collected data from 6664 individuals from around the world, replicated the main results of the previous study, and additionally found that people from the imagery distribution report more frequent pseudo-hallucinations for a longer duration than people from the aphantasia distribution. I also conducted new analyses across individual imagery vividness ratings. This revealed a dramatic increase in susceptibility to pseudo-hallucinations from reports of “no imagery” to “low imagery vividness” within the aphantasia distribution. There is a positive linear relationship between imagery vividness and pseudo-hallucination vividness, whereas the relationship between imagery vividness and pseudo-hallucination complexity is categorical, as indicated by a jump in the likelihood to experience complex pseudo-hallucinations from the aphantasia distribution to the imagery distribution with no evidence for within-distribution variations. Finally, word cloud analyses of written descriptions of Ganzflicker experiences revealed unique language used by individuals from each distribution. In sum, Ganzflicker is an accessible, efficient, and effective method of investigating multiple aspects of anomalous perceptual experiences in people with different mental imagery abilities.
When Facts Falter: Practicing Reflexive Ethnography When Co-Constructing the Identity of Syrian Refugee Women
Authors: Taylor Alicia Maners
Published: July 2022

Recent studies suggest that refugee women are more vulnerable to culture shock than men due to the ongoing process of negotiating one’s social and cultural identity; however, few studies have been conducted to further explore this phenomenon. In this study, I provide new insight into the experiences of Syrian refugee women resettling in the United States by highlighting the moments of hesitation involved in their identity negotiation. Using a reflexive ethnographic approach, I draw on my participant observations and informal interviews to ask, “What does it mean to be both a mother and a provider?” Ultimately, I argue that the new roles my interlocutors take up do not reflect what American women have, what their families value, or even what their friends hope for them. Instead, the Syrian women construct their new identities on their own terms given their unique concerns, hopes, and perspectives, and by relying on a reflexive methodological approach, I can begin to describe the changing women’s roles within the St. Louis Syrian refugee community.

Purpose – The purpose of the article is to examine if over the last 25 years the technology intensity of China’s export of goods has improved along with the increase of its value and, therefore, if the share of technology-intensive goods in the structure of Chinese export of goods has increased. Research method – The article reviews the literature and conducts empirical research on the structure of export of goods from China in the years 1995–2019 using the Lall classification and foreign value added statistics. Results – In the years 1995–2019 technological intensity of Chinese export of goods improved. High technology products have become the main export category. However, China relies – to a large extent – on the imported intermediate goods in its production of medium and high technology products, which confirms the higher share of foreign value added in the export of medium and high technology goods than in total export. This indicates that the level of technology intensity of Chinese export of goods is lower than it would appear from the physical structure of export according to the Lall classification. Originality /value /implications /recommendations – The physical structure of China’s export was analysed using the Lall classification and statistics on the content of foreign value added in export, which are relatively innovative and not widely used in Polish literature.

Purpose – A presentation of the pandemic implications in a non-profit organisation on the example of the Hospice Foundation in Gdańsk. Research method – An individual in-depth interview, the analysis of financial statements, financial metrics, a description. Results – The Hospice Foundation survived the crisis by strengthening and developing social relations and communication with the environment, and despite the deterioration of revenues, it retained correct business metrics and is able to continue its activity. Originality / value / implications / recommendations – So far in Poland, there have been no studies on the effects of the pandemic on non-profit organisations. Proprietary measures of effectiveness in achieving the Foundation’s goals in 2019–2020 were proposed. The results of the author’s own research for the period of 2009–2010 were used as a reference.
Moral hazard and its implications on health insurance sector – overview of impact of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors:   Institute of Law and Economy, Kazimierz Wielki University, Sikora-Alicka Joanna
Published: July 2022

Kenneth J. Arrow’s disruptive work, 'Medical Uncertainty and Welfare Economics’, published in 1963, was one of the first studies investigating the effects of moral hazard on the healthcare sector. Since then, countless works exploring that subject have been published. The history of research on moral hazard in medical insurance shows that this concept is defined differently in other areas of the economy than healthcare. Purpose – The proposed work is an attempt to understand and conceptualize the moral hazard in health insurance. As uncommon circumstances marked 2020, we now consider health insurance through the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This work discusses the results of an investigation of the impact of moral hazard and its implications on the health insurance sector during COVID-19. Research method – The author designed and conducted a study that presented several metrics involving the distribution of medical expenditures, the effect of price on medical care consumption, the PLS (profit and loss sharing) concept, and their mediating and moderating effect on moral hazard in the insurance sector. Results – There is a statistically significant and very strong relationship with a positive sign (β = 0.79; p <0.001) between the price effect and the moral hazard. The analyses show also that the price effect coexists statistically with the PLS, and the relationship between these variables is moderately strong and positive (β = 0.79; p <0.001). Originality – Insignificant relationship between the PLS and the moral hazard can be seen while the price is entered into the model (β = 0.03; p = 0.450). The lack of mediation could confirm that the price effect plays a major role in a moral hazard.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), caused by mutations in the MEN1 gene encoding menin, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by the combined occurrence of parathyroid, pituitary and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Development of these tumours is associated with wide variations in their severity, order and ages (from <5 to >80 years), requiring life-long screening. To improve tumour surveillance and quality of life, better circulating biomarkers, particularly for pancreatic NETs that are associated with higher mortality, are required. We, therefore, examined the expression of circulating miRNA in the serum of MEN1 patients. Initial profiling analysis followed by qRT-PCR validation studies identified miR-3156-5p to be significantly downregulated (−1.3 to 5.8-fold, P < 0.05–0.0005) in nine MEN1 patients, compared to matched unaffected relatives. MEN1 knock-down experiments in BON-1 human pancreatic NET cells resulted in reduced MEN1 (49%, P < 0.05), menin (54%, P < 0.05) and miR-3156-5p expression (20%, P < 0.005), compared to control-treated cells, suggesting that miR-3156-5p downregulation is a consequence of loss of MEN1 expression. In silico analysis identified mortality factor 4-like 2 (MOR4FL2) as a potential target of miR-3156-5p, and in vitro functional studies in BON-1 cells transfected with either miR-3156-5p mimic or inhibitors showed that the miR-3156-5p mimic significantly reduced MORF4L2 protein expression (46%, P < 0.005), while miR-3156-5p inhibitor significantly increased MORF4L2 expression (1.5-fold, P < 0.05), compared to control-treated cells, thereby confirming that miR-3156-5p regulates MORF4L2 expression. Thus, the inverse relationship between miR-3156-5p and MORF4L2 expression represents a potential serum biomarker that could facilitate the detection of NET occurrence in MEN1 patients.

Published: July 2022

Objetivo: Conocer si la información no financiera, su preparación y divulgación es relevante para los directivos de las empresas cotizadas en la Bolsa de Valores de Lima (BVL). Método: La investigación fue de tipo exploratoria y descriptiva, para lo cual, se utilizó un instrumento de medición aplicado a 69 empresas en diciembre de 2019. Resultados: Se observó que los directivos consideran importante la información no financiera para el proceso de toma de decisiones; no obstante, existe poco conocimiento de los reportes no financieros que se usan a nivel internacional, así como una menor aceptación para su divulgación voluntaria. La identificación de esta brecha crea la oportunidad de investigar sus causas y recomendar las acciones para reducirla. El trabajo se limita a las empresas peruanas listadas en la BVL, no siendo posible hacerlo extensivo a la totalidad de empresas en el Perú, pues no se dispone de información pública. Conclusión: El presente estudio ha permitido confirmar que las empresas peruanas tienen interés, utilizan y preparan información no financiera con énfasis en diferentes aspectos como capital humano, cultura, estructura organizacional, relaciones con sus grupos de interés y sostenibilidad.
Estilos propedéuticos para la evaluación formativa en la disciplina contable: resultados de aprendizaje
Authors: Llanos Ceballos Adolfo León
Published: July 2022

Este artículo de revisión presenta un análisis sobre las posibilidades propedéuticas para evaluar en un modelo de resultados de aprendizaje; además, reconoce que las acciones de enseñanza, aprendizaje y evaluación forman parte de la misma unidad. De igual manera, los criterios de evaluación del aprendizaje en la disciplina contable deben construirse en relación con la concepción de aprendizaje y el tipo de competencia (básica, genérica, específica) abordada, actividad considerada de alta complejidad como lo evidencia la sistematización de la práctica. En su parte final, después de establecer un ejemplo de evaluación en la asignatura de comprensión y creación de textos académicos correspondiente a la formación general del contador público, se desarrolla la discusión académica sobre las taxonomías que podría asumir la universidad en la construcción, despliegue y seguimiento de una ruta para evaluar en el sentido de resultado; así, se formula una propuesta de taxonomía para el ámbito de las competencias específicas o técnicas de la disciplina objeto de estudio.
Conductas cívicas de profesores universitarios en el contexto educativo
Authors: Pérez Salazar Sixto
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo tuvo como finalidad determinar las conductas cívicas que realizan profesores de dos universidades del Estado de Morelos (México). Dichas conductas, realizadas por los profesores a favor de los estudiantes, se obtuvieron por medio de un estudio exploratorio cualitativo con la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuras a los participantes. Cada entrevista se transcribió codificando las conductas cívicas detectadas, las cuales se analizaron y seleccionaron por categoría y subcategorías de acuerdo con su naturaleza. Las entrevistas cesaron hasta llegar a la saturación teórica del constructo, conforme a la metodología de la teoría fundamenta basada en los datos de Strauss & Corbin (2002). Para la realización de las entrevistas se siguieron los protocolos señalados por el Comité de Ética en Investigación del Centro de Investigación Transdisciplinar en Psicología (CEI-CITPsi) de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos (UAEM). La muestra fue seleccionada por el método bola de nieve y estuvo constituida por 19 profesores, 11 pertenecientes a una universidad pública y 8 pertenecientes a una universidad privada. Se determinaron cuatro categorías de conductas cívicas de profesores universitarios hacia los estudiantes: 1. Cortesía y armonización: a) confianza profesor-estudiante, b) ambiente adecuado de estudio, y c) presentación del profesor, de la clase y del curso. 2. Facilitación de avance en las tareas: a) favorecimiento del incremento en los aprendizajes, y b) facilitación en las actividades de enseñanza. 3. Motivación y apoyo: a) motivación del estudiante para su aprendizaje, y b) comprensión y ayuda al estudiante con problemas. 4. Eficiencia en la enseñanza: a) la mejora de la eficiencia del curso. Estas conductas las desarrollan los profesores universitarios en su interacción cotidiana con los estudiantes al desempeñar sus principales funciones de educación y formación. No se asumen como parte de las actividades a cumplir, aunque algunos profesores las asumen como parte de su contrato psicológico, otros las realizan por su propia voluntad y como deber moral de ayuda por el significado de lo que les significa ser un profesor.
Duelo por suicidio: ¿Qué sucede después en la familia?
Authors: Baños-Chaparro Jonatan
Published: July 2022

La muerte por suicidio es un acontecimiento doloroso y traumático para el entorno familiar y social del difunto. La literatura refiere que el duelo por suicidio es totalmente diferente al duelo por otros tipos de muerte, siendo este tipo de duelo más prolongado que involucra problemas psicológicos y físicos, siendo necesario el apoyo de profesionales de la salud. Por lo tanto, se desarrolló un análisis reflexivo sobre la muerte por suicidio y las diversas consecuencias que atraviesan los familiares. El análisis del estudio se organiza en los siguientes temas: las acciones de los familiares después de un evento suicida, las consecuencias físicas y psicológicas, el duelo según la etapa de vida y la importancia de la posvención como intervención. En ese sentido, se concluye que afrontar la pérdida de un familiar que se suicidó es particularmente más difícil a comparación de otros tipos de muerte. Las emociones que experimentan son más intensas y el funcionamiento e interacción entre los miembros de la familia y, a su vez, la red social, se ve afectada. Todo ello perjudica la salud, complica el proceso de duelo e interfiere en la adquisición de conductas adaptativas.

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar los factores que afectan la preñez en hembras receptoras de embriones producidos in vitro bajo condiciones de altura. El estudio se llevó a cabo en la Universidad Nacional del Altiplano (UNA), ubicada en Puno, Perú, a una altitud de 3970 m. Se utilizaron 50 hembras receptoras (nulíparas, primíparas y multíparas) Brown Swiss. Se colectaron ovarios de vacas sacrificadas en un centro de beneficio local y se llevaron al laboratorio de reproducción animal de la UNA, donde se colectaron los ovocitos, y se procedió con la maduración y fertilización in vitro, cultivo y evaluación de embriones. El tiempo de transporte hasta el laboratorio fue de 2 a 3 h. Se evaluaron factores cuantitativos como condición corporal (CC), diámetro de cuerpo lúteo (CL) y número de partos, y factores cualitativos como lugar de depósito del embrión (cuerno derecho o izquierdo) y calidad de embrión, mediante la prueba de Wilcoxon y Chi cuadrado, respectivamente. Asimismo, se aplicó una regresión logística binaria para el estudio de todos los factores en conjunto. La mayor tasa de preñez se presentó cuando las receptoras tenían 2.65 de CC, 19.54 mm de diámetro de CL y en primíparas como factores cuantitativos y cuando se transfirió al cuerno ipsilateral izquierdo (9/12) con embriones de grado 1 (G1: 11/17) como factores cualitativos. No obstante, el modelo de regresión logística binaria no determinó significancia en conjunto.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la actividad inmunogénica de tres cepas vivas atenuadas de Salmonella Typhimurium aislados de cuy, mediante la evaluación de la excreción de IgA fecal en ratones. El estudio se realizó con 28 ratones hembra de la cepa Balb/c de cuatro semanas de edad, divididos en cuatro grupos (siete ratones por grupo): cepa 1, cepa 2, cepa 3 y grupo control (PBS). Cada ratón fue inoculado con 109 UFC/100 µl de las cepas atenuadas por vía oral mediante el uso de una sonda orogástrica. Se recolectaron muestras de heces frescas a los días 1, 9, 15 y 21 días pos-inmunización. La cuantificación de IgA fecal fue realizada mediante una prueba de ELISA in house indirecto. Los resultados indican que los ratones inoculados con las cepas 1 y 2 presentaron una mayor actividad inmunogénica (IgA fecal) frente al grupo control.
