Lograr una educación inclusiva es un gran desafío para todos los países en el mundo como es el caso de Perú, debido a la falta de competencias en los docentes para brindar educación inclusiva. El objeto de este estudio fue conocer las competencias del docente para brindar educación inclusiva, por ello se ha revisado artículos indexados en revistas como Scopus, Scielo o Web of Science y Google Scholar, distinguiendo las competencias más relevantes. Se concluye que el docente inclusivo debe poseer las siguientes: competencia emocional (autocontrol, estabilidad, gestión del estrés, tolerancia y resistencia), competencia socioafectiva-comunicativa (capacidad para expresar ideas de forma clara, empatía, saber escuchar, negociación, persuasión, proactividad, actitud positiva, comunicación interactiva), competencia de liderazgo (dirección y guía de personas sin tomar en cuenta sus particularidades, planificación y organización, trabajo en equipo, sensibilidad cultural, además de ser autodidacta, reflexivo, introspectivo, flexible, adaptable, crítico y solucionador de conflictos), competencia ética (actuar con moral, ser íntegro, transmitir valores, respeto por la diversidad estudiantil, confidencial y garante de igualdad), competencia pedagógica-didáctica (estratega tecno-pedagógico, innovador, creativo, emprendedor, sabe integrar el saber, el saber hacer y el saber ser en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje), competencia digital-idiomática (poseedor de herramientas virtuales inclusivas, habilidad en idiomas) y competencia cognitiva (metacognición del estudiante sin importar sus características).
From Attitude to Action: Exploring the Pathway to Purchase In Organic Skincare Products
Authors: Minocha Sonia
Published: February 2024

Assessing consumer attitudes towards organic skincare products is crucial in today’s competitive market. As people become more conscious of synthetic substances, animal suffering, and environmental impacts, the appeal of organic skincare is greater than ever. This paper investigates how consumer attitudes regarding organic skin care products translate into purchase intentions and subsequent shopping behaviour. The research emphasises the impact of health, environmental, and appearance consciousness on customer attitudes towards organic skin care products. The study investigates the influence of experience and subjective standards in regulating the relationship between buy intention and purchase conduct. Data was collected by random sampling. There were 498 valid replies to the survey. The Hayes process approach, psychometric characteristics, and hypothesis testing addressed the study’s research concerns. SPSS 25 and AMOS 22 are used to analyse the data. According to the study, health, environmental, and appearance consciousness are precursors to attitudes towards organic skin care products. When an attitude is created, it is converted into buying intention, which leads to actual behaviour. Past experience plays a substantial moderating impact on purchasing intention and behaviour. Subjective norms, on the other hand, fail to moderate the same relationship. The limitations and future scope of the study are discussed further in the paper’s body.

Authors: Baraković Sabina , Baraković Husić Jasmina
Published: February 2024

Quality of experience (QoE) is a multidimensional concept that has been in the focus of the research community for quite some time, especially after the rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT). It has been examined in many contexts (web, telecommunications, economy, medicine, etc.), for different media types (text, audio, video, augmented/virtual reality, etc.) and systems in various domains. Given that logistics and transport is a potent ICT-based domain for research activity in the future, in order to ease and improve the investigation of QoE in the contexts of logistics and transport, we aim to sum the recommendations and lessons learned for the investigation of QoE on the basis of our existing research. These suggestions cover how to treat the concept of QoE and relate it to other fields, techniques and environments to examine and treat QoE, as well as future technologies that need to be included. We provide insight into how these challenges can affect examination of QoE in logistics and transport and discuss ways to overcome them.

Authors: Čabrić Nermin , Branković Neđad , Kalem Aida
Published: February 2024

Tram-train is a type of light rail vehicle that meets the standards of a light rail system, usually a city tram, but that also meets national mainline standards, which allow it to operate alongside mainline trains. A tram-train can be a viable solution as it can integrate features of rail and tram systems using specially adapted light rail vehicles. When the tram-train system as a public transport concept enabling the combined development of transport on both light rail and heavy rail infrastructure use railway infrastructure, compliance with all essential requirements should be ensured, as well as compliance with the expected level of safety on the relevant lines using two different networks and mixing heavy rail and tram operations increase complexity and often require compromise solutions. The procedure, based on risk analysis, compliance check, and approval of the tram-train system, is presented in this paper. Transit networks based on the light rail can be a good option that aims to reduce the negative effects of individual mobility following the principles of sustainability.

Algebraic Surfaces with Three Super Ellipses for Formation of Submarine Hull Surfaces
Authors: Krivoshapko Sergey N. , Gebre Tesfaldet H.
Published: February 2024

_

Definite stereotype for the outward look of submarines was worked out in the process of evolution. It is very difficult to take into account all inner and outside factors having an influence on the choice of submarine hull shape. Choosing either factor, designers’ model a great variety of outside lines. A light hull of a submarine is the outer nonwatertight hull which provides a hydrodynamically efficient shape. The pressure hull is the inner hull of a submarine; this holds the difference between outside and inside pressure. Closed algebraic surfaces with the main cross-sections in the form of three superellipses lying in three coordinate planes can help to select a submarine form during early-stage design. Having used a parallel middle body, one can extend considerably the choice of suitable shapes. In this paper, a method of modeling smooth compound closed algebraic surfaces that approximates the outside lines of a submarine is presented. The authors offer to form an outside submarine hull from six fragments of algebraic surfaces. The whole hull surface and its fragments are given by the same parametric equations. A method is illustrated in three examples, and it is realized easily in the form of a computer program. The initial data contain large quantities of constants, and it gives an opportunity to consider an infinitely large quantity of variants of submarine hull surfaces.

PROTEIN S DEFICIENCY IN PREGNANCY: TO TREAT OR NOT TO TREAT. A CASE SERIES.
Authors: Mutiso S , Oindi F. , Sequeira E
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Protein S deficiency is rare occurring in only about 3 out of 10,000 women. Thrombophilias,  whether inherited or acquired, have been associated with adverse reproductive outcomes such as recurrent  first trimester pregnancy losses, second and third trimester pregnancy losses, pre-eclampsia, fetal growth  restriction, placental abruption and venous thrombo-embolism. Treatment of protein S deficiency with  anticoagulation in pregnancy is usually individualized depending on patient prior history and presenting  symptoms. We report of 2 cases of women with protein S deficiency in pregnancy who had varied  management and conduct a literature review on the salient features of this condition in pregnancy. 

Cases: Two women, who were sisters and had a prenatal diagnosis of protein S deficiency, were managed  in their current pregnancies. One was on her fifth pregnancy having had adverse pregnancy outcomes and  the other in her first pregnancy. One of the lady was on anti-thrombotic agents prior to the pregnancy which  was continued during the pregnancy and the other was not started on anti-coagulation. They both had good  pregnancy outcomes in the documented pregnancies. 

Conclusion: Protein S deficiency in pregnancy is a rare medical condition which most clinicians may  not come across in their practice. The patients outlined had a prenatal diagnosis and hence presented no  diagnostic dilemma. However, thrombophilias should be suspected in women with recurrent adverse  pregnancy outcomes that have not been explained with other causes. The management of these patients  largely involve use of anti-thrombotic agents with multi-disciplinary care being of benefit in improving  outcomes.
Nachhaltig nicht-nachhaltig
Authors: Kohlmeier Nils , Gutmann Andreas
Published: February 2024

Im Rahmen der Energiewende wächst der europäische Bedarf nach Rohstoffen. Zahlreiche der für die Energiewende benötigten Rohstoffe befinden sich auf den Gebieten indigener Völker, was häufig zu Konflikten führt. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es erstaunlich, dass das geplante Abkommen zwischen der EU und den Mercosur-Staaten keine Vorschriften bezüglich Beteiligung und Schutz indigener Völker beinhaltet. Ein Verweis auf solche Vorschriften, insbesondere aus der ILO-Konvention 169, wäre völkerrechtlich geboten und trüge dazu bei, die Konflikte und Widersprüche des Nachhaltigkeitsbegriffs aushandelbar zu machen.

Published: February 2024

El riesgo financiero está íntimamente conectado con el riesgo económico puesto que los tipos de activos que una empresa posee y los productos o servicios que ofrece juegan un papel importantísimo en el servicio de su endeudamiento. De tal manera que dos empresas con el mismo tamaño y con el mismo coeficiente de endeudamiento no tienen por qué tener el mismo riesgo financiero. El crédito agrícola entraña altos riesgos de liquidez debido a la estacionalidad de los ingresos de las familias de agricultores. Los excedentes aumentan su capacidad de ahorro y disminuyen su demanda de préstamos después de las cosechas, mientras que el déficit disminuye dicha capacidad y aumenta su demanda de préstamos antes de la plantación de un cultivo. En el cantón Latacunga existen agrupaciones sociales pertenecientes al sector agropecuario, las mismas que son alrededor de 21 congregaciones. En las empresas agrícolas del cantón Latacunga una de las mayores problemáticas en el aspecto económicos son los niveles de rentabilidad reducidos dentro de los principales factores causantes se ha considerado que es la inadecuada gestión de riesgos financieros existentes en las empresas creando así una deficiente eficiencia financiera.  Al realizar el análisis se llegó a determinar que la carencia de la maximización como la una inapropiada aplicación de control interno está afectando directamente en el crecimiento económico, así como disminución de la productividad.

Exploring Current Trends in Artificial Intelligence Technology An Extensive Review
Authors: Shuford Jeff , Islam Md.Mafiqul
Published: February 2024

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly pervasive across various domains, including smartphones, social media platforms, search engines, and autonomous vehicles, among others. This study undertakes a scoping review of the current landscape of AI technologies, following the PRISMA framework, with the aim of identifying the most advanced technologies utilized in different domains of AI research. Three reputable journals within the artificial intelligence and machine learning domain, namely the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, the Journal of Machine Learning Research, and Machine Learning, were selected for this review. Articles published in 2022 were scrutinized against certain criteria: the technology must be tested against comparable solutions, employ commonly approved or well-justified datasets, and demonstrate improvements over comparable solutions. A crucial aspect of technology development identified in this review is the processing and exploitation of data collected from diverse sources. Given the highly unstructured nature of data, technological solutions should minimize the need for manual intervention by humans. The review indicates that creating labeled datasets is a labor-intensive process, leading to increased research focus on solutions leveraging unsupervised or semi-supervised learning technologies. Efficient updating of learning algorithms and the interpretability of predictions emerge as key considerations in the development of AI technologies. Moreover, in real-world applications, ensuring safety and providing explainable predictions are imperative before widespread adoption can be achieved. Thus, this review underscores the importance of addressing these factors to facilitate the responsible and effective integration of AI technologies into various domains.

Forecasting consumption of blood products can reduce their order frequency by 60% and inventory level by 40%. This also prevents shortage by balancing demand and supply. The study aimed to establish a "Simple Average with Mean Annual Increment" (SAMAI) method of time series forecasting and to compare its results with those of ARIMA, ratio to trend, and simple average to forecast demand of blood products. Monthly demand data of blood component from January 2017 to December 2022 (data set I) was used for creating a forecasting model. To avoid the effect of COVID19 pandemic instead of actual data of year 2020 and 2021, average monthly values of previous three years were used (data set II). The data from January to July 2023 were used as testing data set. To assess the fitness of model MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) was used. By SAMAI method MAPE were 18.82%, 13.392%, 14.516% and 27.637% respectively for of blood donation, blood issue, RDP issue and FFP issue for data set I. By Simple Average method MAPE were 20.05%, 12.09%, 29.06% and 34.85%, respectably. By Ratio-to-Trend method MAPE were 21.08%, 21.65%, 25.62% and 39.95% respectively. By SARIMA method MAPE were 12.99%, 19.59%, 37.15% and 31.94% respectively. The average MAPE was lower in data set II by all tested method and overall MAPE was lower by SAMAI method. The SAMAI method is simple and easy to perform. It can be used in the forecasting of blood components demand in medical institution without knowledge of advanced statistics.

Authors:   School of Biotechnology, Devi Ahilya University, Takshashila Campus, Khandwa Road, Indore-452001, India, Golchha Nikita Chordia
Published: February 2024

The opportunistic pathogen, Clostridioides difficile owes its extreme pathogenicity for its ability to develop antibiotic resistance and recurrent infections. The current antibiotics used for the treatment are showing declining sensitivity and rising antibiotic resistance. Therefore, it is of interest to develop the anti-clostridial drugs to overcome these issues. Hence, we have explored ZINC library to find the suitable lead compounds against five target proteins of C. difficile. Multistep virtual screening is performed to find the suitable compounds that are checked for their stability using molecular dynamics and are validated in vitro against C. difficile. In our study, five compounds viz., ZINC64969876, ZINC13641164, ZINC13691348, ZINC5554596 and ZINC3894278 that inhibit HisC, Spo0A, PdcA, DAHP synthase and cyclic-di GMP proteins, respectively have been identified. Further, these compounds were tested in vitro against four different isolates of C. difficile and all of them were found to inhibit the pathogen. However, to use these compounds as anti-clostridial drugs, further testing needs to be done. The selected compounds from our study are reported for the first time as antimicrobial agents against C. difficile.

Published: February 2024

The regulation of glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells relies on calcium concentration, making it a calcium-dependent process. Disruptions in calcium homeostasis may contribute to insulin dysfunction and disturbances in glucose homeostasis, potentially playing a role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In T2DM patients, there may be changes in fluoride metabolism due to impaired renal function. Measurement of serum albumin-adjusted calcium and is crucial since changes in albumin levels can impact the accurate estimation of true calcium.
Championing sustainable construction using timber in the Baltic Sea Region
Authors: Giacometti Alberto , Salonen Hilma
Published: February 2024

Timber construction can radically cut carbon emissions. The construction sector is accountable for c. 40% of global emissions, a third of which comes from the production of building materials. Replacing concrete and steel with timber offers a huge opportunity to reach the carbon neutrality goals. Nordic and Baltic countries have a unique advantage in leading the way, given the vast forest resources available, a long legacy of the forestry industry and wood building, the in-built industrial capacity, and the well-functioning and interlinked supply chains across the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). Yet, decisive policy measures are needed to overcome technical, regulatory, and cultural obstacles. Challenging the status quo and creating a market shift demands holistic and collaborative approaches that can enable systemic change, as well as targeted measures to navigate through country-specific obstacles.

Macario
Authors: Roiz Elizondo Alfonso
Published: February 2024

Tomando como referencia la película Macario, se reflexiona sobre dos rasgos de la sociedad mexicana. Uno cultural, la celebración de la muerte; y otro, estructural, la situación en desigualdad de la población indígena. El primero sirve como marco contextual para mostrar lo segundo. La historia comienza y transita con elementos alegóricos al culto a la muerte. Ante la repentina esperanza de comer un guajolote (pavo) entero, Macario debe enfrentar al Diablo, a Dios y a la Muerte para saciar el hambre que le ha atormentado toda su vida. Curar personas con una pócima mágica le alcanza para satisfacer sus necesidades esenciales, pero se trata sólo de un sueño de vida digna que luego se torna en pesadilla. A partir de ello, se identifican, al menos, cinco derechos fundamentales que –desde su condición como persona indígena– son analizados y contrastados con la perspectiva de la narrativa del filme.

Authors: Muobike Anthony , Ajieh Mike , Agbale Nneka R. , Edomwonyi-Otu Lawrence C.
Published: February 2024

Manufacturing processes in the recent times prioritizes competitiveness and continuous improvement. This study examined production data from an indigenous polyurethane firm to monitor controllable variables (i.e., density, tensile strength, hardness, compression and elongation) for quality and improve outcomes. Data was subjected to statistical process control (SPC) using control chart methods of analysis. In addition to raising an alarm when a process deviates from control, control charts are crucial for determining internal and natural control limits. An analysis of the data revealed that at the beginning of production, 35DC (27084), 22DC (26543), 18DC (21805), and 16DC (20666) consumed more production material than 14DC (3833). According to the mean value, the majority of the production material is either consumed during the early stages of production or preserved or minimized during the later stages of production. To counteract this irregularity, it is important to pay greater attention to identifying the material that suffocates other production components during the first stages of production. Therefore, for better health outcomes in terms of ergonomics and acceptability and/or comfort (the feel-good factor) during usage, an ideal blend of polyurethane under controlled manufacture is needed.

Published: February 2024

Background and Aim: The emerging corona virus has presented new challenges to the printing industry that were unprecedented before, and these challenges include new opportunities and threats. Also, the coincidence of Corona with the paralyzing American sanctions on Iran's economy has caused an unbridled increase in the cost of books and a sharp decrease in the financial capacity of book buyers, which requires a comprehensive research in accordance with the tremendous changes that the simultaneous impact of these two emerging components of Iran's economy (Corona) and the crippling US sanctions) on the pattern of book buying behavior and makes it necessary for the publishing industry. Therefore, this research has identified the psychological components in the book buying behavior of students of medical sciences universities during the corona epidemic as its main goa. Method: The statistical sample was also selected based on the purposeful/judgmental sampling method from among the managers and decision makers of the University of Medical Sciences in Iran, academic professors and prominent organizational consultants. In order to identify the factors affecting the book buying behavior of students of medical sciences universities during the corona epidemic, the qualitative method of data theory of the foundation has been used. Results: Based on the results, social and cultural factors, branding in the field of books, study values, sales promotion and quality of content and structure are the known factors affecting the book buying behavior of students of medical sciences universities during the Corona epidemic. Conclusion: In relation to the social and cultural factor, we find that most people in our country devote limited minutes to study, while in some countries there is an average of 4 hours of study per day. In relation to branding in the field of books, marketing is particularly important, because attracting the satisfaction of the audience and increasing the purchase of books will promote the culture of reading and reading in the country and will bring about the cultural development of the country.
