Este estudio investigativo es multidisciplinar. Se unen tres aspectos: el comercial, el informático y el de salud para establecer el entorno que acompaña al emprendimiento en época de pandemia y establecer si los parámetros contables varían o no con una amenaza letal como la pandemia. El escenario de estudio de campo europeo se lo hizo entre Madrid en visitas guiadas a instituciones técnicas y humanísticas de la capital española desde 2009 a 2013 y en Guayaquil a partir de 2020 en instituciones de la Perla del Pacífico y los alrededores de hospitales de la seguridad social. Luego se prolongó la investigación en el efecto postpandemia a ciudades como Huaquillas y Loja para medir el desarrollo de la inteligencia financiera en estudiantes que habían llevado emprendimientos en la EGB, bachillerato y en la Educación Superior.  El objetivo es caracterizar al recurso humano como parte de la bioeconomía utilizando el razonamiento empresarial en medio de la pandemia y postpandemia para orientar el criterio hacia un utilitarismo humano. Como metodología se aplica por estadios la investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa, de campo, bibliográfica sobre la metodología de estudio de eventos, sucesos o acontecimientos o event studies, aplicados exclusivamente a estudios empresariales.  Se concluye que los emprendimientos necesitan de los procesos contables para llegar a una buena utilidad y que lo complejo para emprender es universal, es decir se tiene sus efectos tanto en Europa como América Latina.

Authors: Zofou Denis , Meka Obate Crispain Stevie , Teugwa Mofor Clautilde , Shu Golda Lum Shu , Ndode Mesue Ebane
Published: July 2023

Background: Irvingia gabonensis and Tetrapleura tetraptera are widely employed by traditional healers of the southern regions of Cameroon to treat diabetes. However. there is only limited or no scientific evidence on the real potential of these two medicinal plants to serve as alternative therapies. The present works thus aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic activity of the barks of I. gabonensis and fruits of T. tetraptera. Methods: The antidiabetic potential of the four extracts was assessed by evaluating the hypoglycaemic activity through the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in male Wistar albino rats and the subacute antidiabetic assay in streptozotocin-induced Wistar rat model. For the later. clinical markers (water and food intake, urine excretion), Fasting Blood Sugar FBS), the effects on some vital organs (liver and kidney), and lipid profile were considered. Safety was evaluated using the in vivo acute toxicity test in mouse model. Results: Out of the four extracts prepared from T. tetraptera and I. gabonensis, and tested for their antidiabetic potential, only the hydroethanol extract of the stem bark of I. gabonensis showed promising hypoglycemic and anti-hyperglycemic activity from preliminary screening. Of the two doses of this extract considered for the subacute antidiabetic assessment, the dose of 500mg/Kg demonstrated the highest activity reflected in significant improvement in both clinical and biochemical markers with a 100% recovery rate after 21 days treatment of the STZ-induced diabetic Wistar rats. At this dose, the I. gabonensis extract was shown to also improve liver and kidney functions as well as mitigating dyslipidemia in diabetic rats. Overall, its pharmacological properties were above those of the reference drug metformin at 10mg/Kg dose. More interestingly, the acute toxicity study revealed a relative safety of this extract in mice. Conclusion: The present work confirms the potential of the hydroethanolic extract of I. gabonensis to serve a source of new antidiabetic drugs. Further investigations are therefore envisaged.

The Role of Go Ghrita in Epilepsy - A Review
Authors: Athira. S  , Arun Pratap  , Lekshmi. R
Published: July 2023

Epilepsy, a chronic neurological condition, can potentially allow up to 70% of individuals to live seizure-free with appropriate diagnosis and treatment, but it also carries a threefold higher risk of premature death compared to the general population, underscoring its seriousness. Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures and disturbances in consciousness. It can be correlated with the Ayurvedic concept of Apasmara, which involves occasional unconsciousness accompanied by unpleasant symptoms such as vomiting froth and abnormal body postures. Ayurveda recognizes Ghrita (ghee), particularly Go Ghrita derived from cow's milk, as a versatile food and medicinal substance with therapeutic effects. Go Ghrita is highly regarded for its ability to balance Vata and Pitta Doshas and its lipophilic nature, allowing it to penetrate the blood-brain barrier for targeted delivery and increased bio-availability. Go Ghrita's Rasayana property suggests that long-term use may help reduce the recurrence of epilepsy. When medications are processed with Ghrita, it enhances their medicinal properties, making formulations utilizing Go Ghrita potentially more advantageous and efficacious for treating epilepsy.

Ayurveda places a lot of stress on feeling the pulse at the radial artery in order to evaluate the Doshas, but it does not restrict the pulse location to just the radial artery and instead makes it plain that the pulse can be felt from eight different places. The radial artery can be used to learn about the Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. Nadi Pariksha uses completely all the basic subjects described in Ayurveda. All spheres of medical science is not remained untouched from Nadi Pariksha. Cause-effect /Karya-karan or Nidan-vyadhi relationship can be finely diagnosed with Nadi Pariksha. Therefore, treatment becomes very unique and specific. Whether treatment is of body or mind, it becomes very clear with Nadi Pariksha. In Ayurveda, post-operative Tridosha specific Nadi Pariksha can be considered a more rationale plan for better outcomes in overcoming the recurrences and gaining a lead over modern surgical complications after Shalya Karma. Nadi Tarangini is a tool to detect and analyze information about our inner health. Nadi Tarangini, the pioneer of the modern Nadi Pariksha system, is a perfect synthesis of hardware and intelligent software powered by artificial intelligence.

Published: July 2023

In many countries, goat (Aja) rearing is well organized and is an essential part of living in terms of contributing to the economic structure as well as nutrition. Goat milk (Aja Dugdha) is rich source of protein, vitamins, enzymes and mineral content and most of them are present in higher percentage than that of other commonly consumed milk. For instance, it contains 13% more calcium, 47% more vitamin A and 25% more vitamin B6 than cow’s milk. It has better digestibility, alkalinity and buffer capacity than milk of other animals and also possesses numerous therapeutic properties viz. Anticancer, hepato-protective, cardio-protective and antihypertensive etc. Classical texts of Ayurveda also embrace its nutritive and therapeutic potential and indicated it in management of different diseases like Atisara (diarrhoea), Jwara (fever), Rajyakshma (tuberculosis), Kshaya, Shosha (atrophy/emaciation) etc. Methodology: Different scientific databases like Web of Science, Scopus etc. along with Ayurveda texts viz., Charak Samhita, Kashyap Samhita etc were searched in order to extract data pertaining to goat milk. Results: The present study revealed that in Ayurveda, goat milk has been indicated in the management of more than 20 disease conditions and conventional studies also reported more than 15 pharmacological properties of goat milk. Discussion & Conclusion: It has been found that the therapeutic and nutritive value of goat milk has been extensively studied in Ayurveda and conventional science as well. It’s easy to digest and have a better composition of vitamins, fatty acids, protein and minerals than other available milks. Therefore, it can be a used a most appropriate alternative to human and cow milk but should with caution as it lacks sufficient quantity of iron, folate and vitamins C etc.

Nowadays, caffeinated drinks play a significant role not only for adults but also for teenagers. Some teenagers believe that it will help them with their school tasks, such as exams, projects, and more. Many research projects have also claimed that caffeine can help people become more energized and less tired [10]. Along with mental health, indicating that it is important, it is vital to maintain good mental health since it can make a huge impact on our daily lives [7]. We are curious about the relationship between caffeine consumption and teenagers’ mental health. So we decided to conduct a survey on teenagers ages 13-18. The data was collected online using Google Form and by sending questionnaires about the effect of caffeine consumption on teenager’s mental health in Bangkok, Thailand. We have gathered a total of 150 responses from students in grades between 7 and 12 mostly from Bangkok. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 29 was used for data analysis. The results have shown that there is a slight significant effect of caffeinated drinks on teenager’s mental health, which involves the times of the day teenagers prefer to drink caffeinated drinks (p-value = 0.001). Despite the consumption period, the types of caffeinated drinks teenagers prefer (p-value = 0.163) and the participant’s grade level (p-value = 0.448) may have also affected adolescents too. Moreover, the result of this research came out that caffeinated drinks have nearly no effect on teenager’s mental health, but they do have an effect specifically on the period of time that the teenagers consume caffeinated drinks. From our data, we can conclude that caffeinated drinks, especially tea, will significantly affect teenagers’ mental health if consumed after lunch (afternoon). This research will help raise awareness on the effect of caffeinated drinks on teenagers ages 13-18 on their mental health and also provides us with more information for further research.

The findings demonstrate that four major constructs are regarded as influencing factors in the Penta BIM adoption process: Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Resistance to Change (RC), and Behavioral Intention (BI). Other three are neither supported as the path coefficient, p-values and t-values threshold is exceed. The result of thematic analysis using Braun & Clarke’s six-phase framework show three main problems arises that negatively influence the adoption process: Social influence and organizational support – unsupportive figure; Resistance to change – Penta’s employee resist to change; and facilitating condition – socialization and training importance. Based on user judgement, theories or practical article, and expert opinion; business solutions are proposed: Develop training and development system that can be used for BIM and future training; budgeting external education include seminar or bootcamp; Held internal meeting with stakeholders to increase the employee engagement and aligned goals with high management profile figure. For a long-term goal, Penta may also consider to develop BIM division in order to increase the speed of project completion. Lastly, the actionable schedule of implementation plan is proposed based on internal recommendation, project design life cycle, and working schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the program.

Querion de Celso, also known as Celso abscess, is a rare and severe inflammatory condition that arises as a complication of folliculitis. It is characterized by the formation of a purulent and fluctuant abscess in the pilosebaceous region. This dermatological disorder is primarily associated with the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, most commonly Staphylococcus aureus, into the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Clinically, kerion de Celso presents as a prominent, erythematous, warm, and fluctuant lesion, often accompanied by local pain, restricted movement, and potential systemic symptoms such as fever and malaise. The diagnosis of kerion de Celso relies on a comprehensive evaluation, including clinical assessment, histopathological findings, and microbiological analysis. These diagnostic modalities support the presence of an intense inflammatory response and aid in identifying the causative agent. Treatment of kerion de Celso necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. Systemic antibiotics are essential to eliminate the underlying bacterial infection, while analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents provide symptomatic relief. Surgical incision and drainage may be required in cases of extensive abscess formation. In more complex situations, immunosuppressive therapy may be considered to modulate the exaggerated inflammatory response. Adequate wound care and close follow-up are crucial to ensure successful resolution and prevent long-term complications. In summary, Celso's kerion is a rare but potentially severe condition that requires prompt recognition and appropriate management to minimize complications and promote healing. Understanding the clinical, etiological, and therapeutic aspects of this condition is essential for healthcare professionals to deliver optimal care and improve clinical outcomes.

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the factors that influence the quality of internal audits. Additionally, the study examines the effect of these factors on internal audit quality, with the role conflict variable acting as a moderator. The data used for analysis are questionnaire responses from 130 members of the Internal Supervisory Unit (Satuan Pengawas Internal/SPI) in Public Service Agency State Universities (Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Badan Layanan Umum/PTN BLU) in Indonesia. The Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) technique is employed for hypothesis testing. The results indicate that the independence of SPI members has a positive impact on internal audit quality. However, the relationship between internal auditors and external auditors does not demonstrate a positive effect on internal audit quality. Furthermore, role conflict does not weaken the influence of SPI members' independence on internal audit quality. On the other hand, role conflict strengthens the effect of the relationship between internal auditors and external auditors on internal audit quality. The practical implication of this research emphasizes the significance of independence. SPI members should possess a strong sense of independence to resist undue influence or intervention from any party and to remain impartial in the execution of their duties. This finding underscores the importance of maintaining independence within the internal audit function.

The number of food and beverage MSEs in East Java with a total of 746,732 occupies the second highest position in Indonesia. But unfortunately, during the pandemic, food and beverage MSMEs (both packaged food and beverage home industries as well as coffee shop businesses, depots and cafes) experienced an average decline of 63%. The condition of uncertainty due to the pandemic, which has forced the Government in each region to periodically issue PPKM policies, according to the level of conditions for the spread of Covid-19, has caused MSME actors to experience income uncertainty. Therefore, to help minimize business losses, it is important to implement scenario-based planning accompanied by setting a budget according to conditions (flexible budget). For example, if the area is at level 4 (100% work from home) then which scenario will be carried out and what is the estimated budget. Meanwhile, the implementation of the Quadruple Helix (government, academics, business people, and communities) will help increase MSME innovation to survive during the pandemic. This article explains the importance of Quadruple Helix collaboration, business scenario planning followed by the preparation of a flexible budget to deal with uncertainty during the pandemic

A firm that combines entrepreneurship is often recognized as a critical contributor to economic growth, job creation, and development, as well as an essential component of economic vitality. This study investigates the moderating effect of firm size and age on the association between ambidexterity and financial performance. The idea is tested using a quantitative methodology in this study. The research instrument was a questionnaire that respondents filled out. The participants in this study are all MSME leaders in Tangerang City, Banten, Indonesia. For this study, 216 participants were chosen randomly, and data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). Its results discovered that ambidexterity has a favorable and statistically significant effect on financial performance. In addition, firm age improves the association between all ambidexterity aspects (product exploration, product exploitation, market exploration, and market exploitation) and financial performance. However, company size has no moderating effect on the association between product and market exploitation and financial performance, only on the relationship between product and market exploration and financial performance. This research is contributing to the size of businesses with structural distinction through mechanisms underpinning resources and capabilities. In addition, the firm's age and expertise with contextual systems and processes, as well as the mechanisms underlying organizational learning, enable the company to maximize its performance. Although using MSMEs as the study's sample boosted internal validity, caution should be exercised when extending these findings to other industries, such as manufacturing.
