Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna, Rodríguez Fuentes Carlos J.
Published: February 2025

En este trabajo se ofrece una síntesis de los estudios que se han interesado por las repercusiones regionales derivadas del funcionamiento del sistema bancario, incluyendo las contribuciones más recientes que se han ocupado del estudio de la relación finance-growth. El objetivo final de este análisis es el de resaltar el papel central y no neutral que desempeñan las entidades bancarias en el crecimiento económico regional, y no sólo por la supuesta existencia de asimetrías de información y fallos de mercado que segmentan los mercados regionales de crédito, sino también por la existencia de diferencias espaciales/regionales en las estrategias crediticias de las entidades, lo cual influye en la oferta y disponibilidad de crédito regional.

Published: February 2025

El interés por el estudio de los efectos asimétricos que puede tener la política monetaria única (PMU) en los países integrantes de la eurozona ha dado origen a una ingente literatura, fundamentalmente de carácter empírico, que se ha ocupado de analizar las respuestas del output y los precios de los países europeos ante los supuestos shocks monetarios ocasionados por las decisiones de política monetaria adoptadas por el Banco Central Europeo (BCE). Buena parte de ella revela la existencia de importantes diferencias no sólo en el impacto total que los shocks monetarios ocasionaban en el output y los precios de distintos países, sino también en sus trayectorias temporales, lo cual era interpretado como un indicio de las asimetrías regionales que ocasionaría la puesta en marcha de la PMU en la eurozona. En este trabajo se realiza una síntesis del debate en torno a las asimetrías regionales de la PMU teniendo en cuenta la experiencia y la documentación empírica que se ha ido generando en estos casi quince años de trayectoria de la eurozona, con la doble intención de: propiciar una reflexión crítica al respecto de los resultados empíricos obtenidos hasta la fecha y apuntar algunos cambios que habría que introducir en el actual marco operativo de la PMU.

Published: February 2025

Las claves del buen gobierno están en el dosel que conforman el bienestar, la calidad de vida, la confianza institucional y la identidad. La gobernanza se enfrenta a los cambios originados en los últimos cuarenta años: el envejecimiento de la población, el relevo generacional, la revolución tecnológica, la digitalización del sistema productivo, el reclutamiento de talento, el modelo institucional, la integración territorial, la calidad de la democracia y los derechos de la ciudadanía. La gobernanza, a su vez, promueve políticas públicas para gestionar las mutaciones de la era tecnológica, la globalización, las formas de vinculación sociopolítica y las condiciones de vida. Este artículo está enfocado al análisis de estos desafíos desde una perspectiva holística y analítica, arrojando algo de luz a los orígenes y posibles consecuencias de estas problemáticas sociales.

INTRODUÇÃO: A hemorragia pós parto (HPP) é definida como a perda sanguínea anormal, sendo acima de 500 ml em parto normal e acima de 1.000 ml em parto cesário, ou uma perda sanguínea capaz de gerar instabilidade hemodinâmica. OBJETIVO: O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar e comparar o perfil epidemiológico qualitativo das internações causadas por Hemorragia Pós Parto (HPP) no período de 10 anos na população em idade fértil em Brasília, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. METODOLOGIA: O presente estudo trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico ecológico, descritivo, transversal e retrospectivo. Os dados foram coletados a respeito dos casos novos notificados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Sinan). Utilizou-se as variáveis: número de internações, raças, idade, caráter de internação (CID 072). RESULTADOS: Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), no Censo realizado em 2022, Brasília, São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro tinham 1.474.595, 104.548.325 e 8.477.499 mulheres na população, respectivamente. O ano com maior ocorrência foi 2012 (11,6%), seguido de 2020 (10,6%) e 2017 (9,6%). A distribuição dos pacientes internados devido à HPP em relação a raça, se deu: 1) Branca: 630 (26,1%) , 2) Preta: 208 (8,6%), 3) Parda: 840 (34,8%), 4) Amarela: 19 (0,8%), 5) Sem informação: 713 (29,7%). Realizou-se o teste do qui-quadrado entre as duas raças mais acometidas (branca e parda), observou-se p<0,05, indicando assim, uma relação entre a ocorrência dessa morbidade com a cor. Além disso, o teste Odds Ratio=0,73, indicou que a presença da doença é 27% menor entre pessoas brancas. A faixa etária mais prevalente foi a de 20 a 29 anos (46,8%), seguida de 30 a 39 anos (34,6%) e 15 a 29 anos (12,3%). Em relação à faixa etária, realizou-se teste qui-quadrado e observou-se p<0,05 e a análise da regressão logística p = 0,993. A distribuição das internações ocorreu da seguinte forma: 1) Urgência: 2.278 (94,1%), 2) Eletivo: 142 (5,9%). CONCLUSÃO: Os resultados permitiram concluir que nas três cidades avaliadas, as mulheres entre 20 a 29 anos e pardas foram as que apresentaram a maior prevalência de internação por HPP. Sendo o ano 2021 com o maior número de internações. Destaca-se a importância da análise desses dados secundários, pois é por meio destes dados epidemiológicos que é capaz de se elaborar estratégias com o objetivo de diminuir de forma significativa as internações e a morbimortalidade materna devido à HPP.

The Effectiveness of PMTCT Education in Increasing Pregnant Mothers' Knowledge on HIV/AIDS Prevention for Their Babies
Authors: Wulandari Siswi , Utomo Bram Mustiko
Published: February 2025

Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV is a pressing global health issue, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare and education. Although advancements in prevention strategies have significantly reduced transmission rates, knowledge gaps among pregnant women often limit the effectiveness of Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programs. This study evaluated the impact of PMTCT education on increasing maternal knowledge and fostering adherence to HIV prevention practices.A pre-test and post-test design was implemented with 30 pregnant women attending antenatal care services in a resource-limited setting. Participants completed a knowledge assessment questionnaire before and after a culturally and linguistically tailored PMTCT education session. Data were analyzed using paired ttt-tests to evaluate knowledge improvement and logistic regression to assess changes in adherence intentions. The results showed a significant improvement in knowledge scores, increasing from 42.5% (SD = 11.7%) pre-intervention to 80.3% (SD = 8.9%) post-intervention (t(29) = 10.85, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 2.01), and behavioral intentions to adhere to PMTCT protocols improved from 40% to 85%. Logistic regression analysis revealed a strong association between higher post-intervention knowledge scores and increased adherence intentions (OR = 5.6, 95% CI = 2.3–13.4, p < 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of integrating structured PMTCT education into antenatal care services to empower mothers, reduce MTCT rates, and enhance adherence to preventive measures. Future research should explore long-term outcomes and the inclusion of family members to amplify intervention impact.

Published: February 2025

Effective pronunciation and vocabulary acquisition are essential in English language learning, particularly for non-native speakers. Drilling and word repetition techniques are widely regarded as effective strategies for enhancing linguistic skills. This study examines the implementation and perceived effectiveness of these techniques in improving pronunciation, vocabulary, and comprehension among eleventh-grade students at SMK Swadhipa 1 Natar, Lampung Province, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire comprising 25 questions, designed to assess students’ confidence, interest, and perceptions of the effectiveness of these methods. Out of 60 students, 29 participated, sharing valuable insights into their experiences and attitudes toward drilling and repetition techniques. The findings reveal that these methods are effective in improving pronunciation, grammatical understanding, and text comprehension. They also boost students’ confidence and interest by offering opportunities for repeated practice and corrective feedback. However, challenges such as pronunciation difficulties and a lack of confidence were reported, highlighting the need for adaptive and supportive teaching practices. This study underscores the importance of integrating repetitive learning approaches into English instruction to foster effective and engaging learning experiences.

On Neoclassicism: Theatrocracy, the 1%, and the Democratic Paradox
Authors: Monot Pierre-Héli
Published: February 2025

This article examines one of the most widely staged, and least discussed plays of the past 25 years, Howard Zinn’s Marx in Soho (1995). Zinn’s transparently neoclassical aesthetics, as well as his numerous references to Sophocles’ Antigone throughout the play, jar with his authoritarian reading of the tradition of democratic theater. Beginning with a discussion of the “democratic paradox” of Plato’s Laws, this article outlines major and still operative transformations in the democratic theater in the United States, as well as its move away from the horizon of democratic deliberation and toward democratic decisionism.
Investigating the Role of the Dramaturg at the National Playwrights Conference, Eugene O’Neill Theater Center
Authors: Davies Mary
Published: February 2025

This article investigates the role of the dramaturg at the National Playwrights Conference, Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. The O’Neill is renowned for placing the dramaturg within the new drama development process in America, yet little is written about the Center. Henri Lefebvre and The Production of Space is consulted to discuss how the operational framework of other theatres is lightened at the O’Neill. Institutional pressures are removed from the dramaturgs working at the Conference, giving them a sense of creative freedom. An exploration on the significance of this freedom follows, and its benefit within new play development. The limitations of the National Playwrights Conference are reflected upon, and how their focus on textbased work is restrictive to certain writers. By adapting its model to accommodate the changing nature of theatrical presentation, the O’Neill can continue its rich legacy of working on new plays.
Digital Participation and Active Involvement of Civil Society in Organizing Ideal Elections
Authors: Farhan Fathur Rahman
Published: February 2025

Digital participation and active involvement of civil society are important elements in organizing ideal and democratic elections. Digital technology opens up new spaces for the public to participate in the election process, either through social media, digital platforms, or special applications designed to monitor and ensure transparency and accountability of elections. The research method used is normative juridical, with a legislative, conceptual, and comparative approach. The legislative approach is used to examine regulations and policies related to digital participation in elections, while the conceptual approach is used to understand the concept of digital participation and the role of civil society. The comparative approach is used to compare digital participation practices in elections in various countries, in order to gain a broader understanding of the effectiveness of the strategies implemented. The results of the discussion show that digital participation has great potential in increasing civil society involvement, but there are still significant challenges, such as low digital literacy, the risk of spreading misinformation, and limited access to technology. Clear and systematic regulations are needed to support digital participation effectively and prevent misuse that can damage the integrity of elections. In conclusion, digital participation is an important means to increase public involvement in organizing ideal elections, but it needs to be accompanied by supportive policies and adequate public education. The suggestion from this research is to strengthen regulations on the use of technology in elections, increase public digital literacy, and encourage innovation in safe and transparent digital platforms for election participation.

Presence mesiodens is not uncommon in clinic practice. It is cause of impacted permanent maxillary central incisors. Diagnosis of the delayed tooth is usually made on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings. The treatment include surgical exposure of the impacted maxillary central incisors and extraction of supernumerary tooth, because it is a direct obstruction for the eruption of maxillary central incisors. Impacted maxillary central incisors is moved into it's proper position with orthodontic traction. The aim is presented surgical-orthodontic treatment of impacted teeth, which is necessary to achieve stability esthetic and functional results.

Case report:

This case report describes a surgical-orthodontic treatment of 9.5-old boy with both impacted permanent maxillary central incisors with supernumerary tooth which disturbs their normal eruption.

Conclusion:

The gnathometric evaluation of spaces in dental arch, the assessment of dental age and radiographic analysis are preconditions of successful therapy. The impacted maxillary central incisors were successfully positioned in the maxillary arch, with an adequate width of attached gingiva. The careful and persuasive treatment planning of an orthodontist, oral surgeon and periodontist are the key to success in resolving such cases.
THE METHOD OF ULTRASOUND URINARY BLADDER WEIGHT CALCULATION
Authors: Jovanović Petar
Published: February 2025

Objective:

To investigate correlation between ultrasonically calculated urinary bladder weight and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Methods:

3D and 2D measurement of parameters necessary to determine bladder weight: Inner and outer radius of the bladder, in 10 male and 10 female patients with LUTS, with urinary bladder filled to at least 200 ml of urine volume.

Results:

Average urinary bladder weight in males was 53,8 g and in female patient was 45,2 g. We found no statistically significant difference between male and female patients, all with LUTS. We also found that patients in LUTS have hypertrophied bladder, which means that urinary bladder mass should be larger and results in an increase of blader weight and both inner and outer radius of the urinary bladder, that should be detected ultrasonographically, but not too much over of pre- determined variations of normal bladder weight.

Conclusion:

Estimation of urinary bladder weight should be considered as non-invasive approach to patients with LUTS. However, it is more plausible to measure only urinary bladder wall thickness ultrasonically than to calculate urinary bladder weight without built-in software.

Published: February 2025

Background: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are essential to promote health equity and well-being. However, in some culturally conservative areas such as Dir Lower, KPK, teaching SRHR faces challenges due to social norms and taboos. Gamification, an innovative teaching strategy, has shown potential to engage nursing students and enhance learning outcomes in such areas. However, its implementation in culturally sensitive areas depends on the readiness and capacity of nursing faculty. 
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the readiness and capacity of nursing faculty to teach SRHR using gamified tools while maintaining cultural appropriateness. It seeks to recognize faculty perceptions, challenges, and support requirements to adopt gamification strategies more effectively.   
Methods: A qualitative exploratory design was used, including 12 in-depth interviews with nursing faculty from a nursing institute in Dir Lower, KPK. The data was analyzed using content analysis to identify themes related to faculty readiness, barriers, and social and cultural considerations.
Results: Faculty demonstrated varied awareness levels regarding SRHR. While gamification was identified as an innovative approach for teaching. However, concerns regarding cultural sensitivity and feasibility were prevalent. Challenges such as limited technological resources, inadequate training, and potential negative perceptions and resistance from the community were highlighted. Participants highlighted the importance of aligning game-based content with cultural, social and religious norms to ensure acceptance.    
Conclusions: Findings highlights the need for targeted faculty development programs, emphasizing on gamification principles and cultural competence. Tailored training initiatives and resource allocation can empower nursing faculty to teach SRHR in culturally sensitive settings, fostering improved health education outcomes.

Published: February 2025

Objective: The purposes of this study to compare PTEN, ER, and PR expressions between invasive and non-invasive breast carcinoma; and to analyse their expressions according to histological grades.
Method: The study design chosen was the retrospective cohort study and biopsy and surgical specimens from department of pathology MBBS-MC Mirpur, AJK were used. The study consisted of sample of two hundred female patients distributed into two groups, invasive breast carcinoma with one hundred patients and non-invasive breast carcinoma with the other one hundred patients. Histological grading was done according to the Nottingham Grading System guidelines. To measure the stain intensity and the proportion of positively stained cells in relation to PTEN, ER, and PR, immunohistochemistry encircled by antibodies was employed.
Result: The mean H-score of PTEN expression in invasive carcinoma was 4.2 ± 1.7. Majority of patients in this study were staged at T2NOMO while the distribution of tumour stage in non-invasive carcinoma was T1 (n= 6), T2 (n= 11), and T3 (n=39). On average, patients with PFO reported to have had 3 ± 1.4 episodes. For ER, the mean H-score was 5 and tumour invasiveness was found associated with a higher H-score. The mean H-score was found 8±2.1 in invasive tumors and in non-invasive tumors, it was 7. As for PR expression, the mean H-score was 5. Based on histological grading it was noted that well differentiated or Grade 1 tumor sample had the highest scores of the biomarkers where PTEN stood at 6, and ER at 7. The poorly differentiated (Grade 3) tumors expressed the lowest levels of PTEN at 3.2 ±1.8, ER at 4.5±2.2, and PR at 4.0±2.0 for the solution. Spearman’s rho test revealed statistically significant moderate positive correlation between ER and PR (rho = 0. 64, p < 0. 001) while PTEN has statistically significant weak negative correlation with both ER (rho = - 0. 32, p = 0. 02) and PR (rho = - 0.28, p = 0. 03).
Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the PTEN, ER, and PR expression in invasive and non-invasive breast carcinoma as well as in different histological grades. PTEN, ER and PR were higher in non-invasive carcinomas than the invasive carcinomas and in well differentiated than in poorly differentiated carcinomas.
Keywords: PTEN, Estrogen Receptor (ER), Progesterone Receptor (PR), invasive breast carcinoma, non-invasive breast carcinoma, histological grading, immunohistochemistry, biomarkers.

Authors: Hidayat Fairuz , Maizuddin Maizuddin , Djuned Muslim
Published: February 2025

Komunikasi antara orang tua dan anak merupakan elemen krusial dalam membangun hubungan keluarga yang harmonis serta menjadi media utama penanaman nilai moral, spiritual, dan sosial. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kurangnya kajian mendalam tentang pola dan nilai komunikasi ideal berdasarkan perspektif Al-Qur'an, khususnya dalam Tafsir Ibnu 'Asyur. Penelitian fokus pada pola komunikasi keluarga dalam Al-Qur'an, model komunikasi (linear, interaksional, transaksional), serta nilai-nilai yang terkandung dalam Tafsir Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir dan relevansinya dengan kehidupan modern. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif-deskriptif dengan pendekatan kepustakaan. Data utama berasal dari Tafsir Al-Tahrir wa Al-Tanwir karya Ibnu 'Asyur, dilengkapi literatur sekunder terkait komunikasi dan tafsir Al-Qur'an. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan metode analisis isi untuk mengidentifikasi pola, model, dan nilai komunikasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa komunikasi keluarga yang efektif dalam Al-Qur'an mencakup nilai kejujuran, kasih sayang, kebijaksanaan, dan kesabaran. Model linier terlihat dalam dakwah Nabi Ibrāhīm kepada Āzar (QS. Al-An'ām: 74), dengan pesan tegas satu arah. Model interaksional tercermin dalam dialog Luqmān (QS. Luqmān: 13–19), yang menggabungkan pesan jelas dengan dukungan emosional. Model transaksional yang ditampilkan dalam interaksi Nabi Ibrahim dengan ayahnya (QS. Maryam: 42–48), menggambarkan pertukaran pesan logistik dan spiritual. Penelitian ini menganjurkan penerapan komunikasi yang bijaksana dan penuh empati dalam keluarga, integrasi nilai komunikasi Al-Qur'an dalam kurikulum pendidikan keluarga, serta penguatan peran institusi pendidikan dan komunitas untuk menciptakan generasi dengan kesadaran komunikasi Islami. Hasil ini menunjukkan pentingnya penerapan nilai-nilai Al-Qur'an untuk membangun hubungan keluarga yang harmonis sesuai dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam.
