Research was undertaken to examine the amino acid and elemental composition of “Hyposedaf”, a dry extract known for its hypotensive properties. Quantitative analyses of both micro and macro elements were conducted using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Additionally, the amino acid content was quantitatively analyzed through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). This study identified 20 different amino acids in the “Hyposedaf” dry extract, 10 of which are essential. Notable amino acids, such as histidine, cysteine, tyrosine, methionine, valine, asparagine, and leucine, amounted to a total of 29.15 mg. Of all detected amino acids, 46.5% were classified as non-essential, while 53.5% were essential. The elemental analysis of the “Hyposedaf” dry extract revealed 61 different elements, including 7 essential elements (Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, Zn) and 4 conditionally necessary elements. Key elements like potassium, calcium, sodium, zinc, iron, magnesium, and phosphorus, found in substantial amounts, are crucial for human health. The concentrations of heavy metals and arsenic in the dry extract were within safe limits according to the Sanitary-epidemiological rules and norms, complying with the quantitative standards State Pharmacopoeia of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Volume 1, Issue 1) and State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation XIV (RF) [1,2,3].

Authors:   Assistant at the Department of Uzbek Language and Literature at the Uzbekistan-Finland Pedagogical Institute, Uzbekistan, Sirojiddin Pardayev
Published: April 2024

In this article, the culturological analysis of the literary text involves the comprehensive analysis of its linguistic essence, revealing the national-cultural characteristics of the author of the artistic work. An attempt was made to reveal four principles of culturological analysis of the work of art. Culture was interpreted from four points of view: elite, village, city and etc. In other words, there are four similar elements related to linguistics in culture: 1) elite ("bookish") culture corresponds to a timeless language; 2) that dialects correspond to the national culture; 3) it was discussed that the intermediate culture ("culture for the people", "third culture") corresponds to the national languages (for example, the subculture of beekeepers, engineers, doctors, teachers, programmers, etc.).
TEACHING SECOND LANGUAGE THROUGH COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH
Authors:   Teacher Of The Department Of “Pedagogy And Psychology” Of The Tashkent Social Innovation University, Uzbekistan, Kizi Rakhimova Dilnoza Dilshod
Published: April 2024

The complexity of language, whether spoken or written, has led to a high demand for teaching and learning English in today's globalized world. The need for English language learning has resulted in a demand for quality teaching materials and resources worldwide. Language learning is now seen as a form of communication between users and learners. Despite this, some institutions in Uzbekistan still rely on the Grammar Translation Method (GTM), leading to proficient vocabulary, grammar, and reading skills but low proficiency in speaking. To address this, teachers are encouraged to adopt communicative language teaching methodology. The study identifies factors thatdeter teachers from implementing this approach and emphasizes the importance of following communicative language teaching at public sector colleges as an effective method. It is believed that meaningful English language teaching and learning can be achieved through proper implementation of aspects such as phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.

CASEE – Introducing a new assessment tool for supporting victims of Child Sexual Exploitation
Authors: Ireland Carol A. , Ireland Jane L.
Published: April 2024

This narrative review of theory introduces the basis for a new assessment tool; the CASEE (Child Adolescent Sexual Exploitation Evaluation, Ireland, Lewis & Ireland, 2023), which is then illustrated using a case study approach. The CASEE considers the vulnerability and protective factors for children and young people where concerns of child sexual exploitation (CSE) have been raised. Such concerns can include known exposure to CSE, suspected or a potential risk of exposure. The CASEE considers various vulnerability and protective factor items, developed from research involving the CASEE authors, and in response to additional research in the field. A child/young person is rated for the presenting evidence of several vulnerability factors that could present as a heightened risk of exposure to CSE, alongside protective factors that can buffer against these concerns. A key component of the CASEE is completion of an individualised formulation of understanding as to what can exacerbate vulnerabilities, alongside consideration of risk scenarios for how vulnerability can present. The aim is to understand vulnerabilities around the time of CSE concerns, and how protective factors can be maximised to safeguard the child/young person. The plans for validation of the CASEE are outlined.
Explorations of attitudes towards accessibility and accessing domestic violence and abuse (DVA) perpetrator support programmes by victim-survivors and perpetrators across five European countries
Authors: Harvey Orlanda , Cole Terri , Levell Jade , Healy Jane
Published: April 2024

This paper reports on findings from international empirical research that explored victim-survivors and perpetrators’ attitudes towards perpetrator support programmes. Ninety-three questionnaires with female victim-survivors of domestic partner violence and abuse, and 18 interviews with male perpetrators were conducted in five European countries. Results showed that of the 93 victim-survivors of domestic violence and abuse, half stated they would have stayed in their relationship with perpetrators if the abuse had stopped, and a similar number reported that they believed their relationships would have been different had there been help for the perpetrator. Analysis of perpetrator interviews showed that they faced barriers to obtaining support, such as being labelled a ‘perpetrator’ which, had they been addressed, may have enhanced their engagement with services. Whilst acknowledging the need for safeguarding and justice, this paper demonstrates the importance of reflecting both victim-survivor and perpetrator needs in order for perpetrators to fully engage with support services. Moreover, it highlighted the need to address the underlying societal issues related to hegemonic masculinity, which can lead to the abuse of women being normalised and the vulnerability of men being stigmatised, through education for young people around healthy relationships.
Tackling poor mental health and self-harming tendencies among students: Indicative evidence of the effectiveness of a novel partnership-based approach to intervention
Authors: O'Brien Mark , Worsley Joanne
Published: April 2024

Poor mental health and self-harm are becoming increasingly common in student populations. Strategic partnerships between universities and NHS mental health services can ensure that students have access to appropriate support. The current paper reports on a pilot service evaluation of a brief therapy service for students who have recently self-harmed, namely University-Community Outpatient Psychotherapy Engagement (U-COPE) service. The aim of the pilot evaluation was to ascertain the efficacy of the U-COPE service as well as offer insights around partnership working between university and NHS mental health services in relation to the design, implementation, and delivery of the U-COPE service. Students completed measures of psychological distress before and after the intervention, as well as across the four therapy sessions. There was a reduction in psychological distress between assessment and discharge. Psychological distress also reduced significantly between the first and final therapy session. Most students (93%) continued their programme of study from the year in which they had accessed the U-COPE service to their next year of study. The provision of brief, relational psychotherapy to students presenting with self-harm related difficulties is a novel approach to intervention. The success of this approach illustrates how multiple organisations play a role in supporting student mental health, bringing a blend of diverse skills and expertise together. Although the U-COPE service shows promise as a brief intervention for students who self-harm, these findings should be treated with caution due to the small sample size. Further investigation of this brief intervention is warranted to ascertain whether U-COPE has a long-term impact on difficulties and distress-related behaviours.

O presente artigo trata-se de uma comunicação realizada no II Ciclo Internacional de Conferências Brasil: poéticas da diáspora africana (2023), na mesa intitulada “Quando penso no futuro não esqueço o meu passado”, realizado em Cachoeira, Bahia, acerca da produção do escultor César Bahia, que no momento atual está expondo, pelo Acervo da Laje, no Museu de Arte do Rio, retomando uma tradição das esculturas afro-brasileiras que tem larga origem no Brasil e em particular na Bahia, particularmente a partir da obra de escultores negros, como Otávio Bahia (1943 - 2010), pai de César Bahia, mas, mais anterior ainda, na obra de artistas invisibilizados e de renomados como Agnaldo Manuel dos Santos (1926-1962), Rubem Valentim (1922 – 1991), Emanoel Araújo (1940 – 2022) e a obra de Manuel Querino (1851 – 1923), apontando para artistas da contemporaneidade como Ayrson Heráclito.
Nanã e a esteira como território mítico
Authors: Penna Silva Lorena , Dias Pereira de Jesus Rita de Cássia
Published: April 2024

O artigo,  dividido em duas seções: a esteira como território sagrado e Nanã e a ética do cuidado, apresenta um dos ítans de Nanã, orixá pertecente as religiões de matriz africana, que está relacionada à origem do ser humano no planeta Terra. Ela está relacionada aos domínios existentes entre a vida e a morte. Nanã tramada na esteira (espécie de tapete feito com palha da costa que é elemento ritualístico para as religiões de matriz africana), de forma paradoxal, entretece esses dois campos da existência - vida e  morte-, que se entrelaçam num movimento indissociável que incide nos corpos, nos territórios e na natureza. O artigo tem como intuito trazer, por meio da oralidade dos ítans, cosmopercepções que formam conhecimentos que foram invisibilizados por uma visão de mundo ocidental generalizante, contribuindo para o combate ao epistemícidio e a educação antirracista.

O espaço público da cidade do Rio de Janeiro foi ocupado de múltiplas maneiras por Iemanjá e outros orixás do panteão das religiões afro-brasileiras. Este artigo irá analisar elementos sagrados transbordando para o universo festivo, musical e lúdico carioca. A festa de Iemanjá e a gravação de músicas abordando a entidade, com apropriações variadas, apontam formas de resistências das identidades culturais negras, marcando a presença do sagrado afro-brasileiro na vida urbana. Lançando mão de suas práticas rituais, líderes religiosos e praticantes ampliavam o universo de influência dos cultos, buscando legitimidade e reconhecimento social. Nos enfrentamentos das intolerâncias, das desvalorizações e depreciações sociais, a presença de símbolos religiosos na cena pública exerce um papel preponderante para aproximar os cultos afro-brasileiros da população carioca.

A Second Look at Education in Ex-colonies: A Case for Policy (Re)thinking
Authors: Adzahlie-Mensah Vincent , Agbevivi Shine Lilian , Jubialu Theresa Ewusie
Published: April 2024

This review of arguments around formal education (schooling) acknowledges the developmental externalities of schooling and suggests that school organisation, knowledge practices and language of instruction in ex-colonies require review to serve national agendas. The arguments developed in the paper provided evidence that educational outcomes are not the same, especially in ex-colonies of Africa. It argues, that schooling in ex-colonies tend to de-historicise students and uproot them from their cultural heritage as colonialism does. As such, ex-colonies face national security risks associated with cultural epistemicide, for the loss of indigeneity including loss of indigenous knowledge, language and national identity. Therefore, there is need for a situated analysis of the political economy of knowledge production in order to deconstruct whose knowledge and interest schooling serves in ex-colonies. It is important for educational policy makers and school administrators to take a second look at schooling in terms of how it accords certain privileges and legitimacy to certain forms of knowing while invalidating indigeneity - Indigenous knowledge, culture and identity in ex-colonies.
Institutional Quality, Foreign Direct Investment and Sustainable Economic Growth in Emerging African Economies
Authors: Okoh John Onuwa
Published: April 2024

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an essential determinant of development for Africa. It encourages sustainable economic growth. However, in most African economies, quality of institution plays a vital role in enhancing the inflow of FDI. The objective of this study therefore is to examine the effect of institutional quality, foreign direct investments on sustainable economic growth in emerging African economies. The study employed pooleddata for 8 African countries (Nigeria, Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia) using the panel data methodology for the period within the years 1990 and 2020. The paper adopted the fixed effect regression model based on the results of the Hausman test in estimating the effect institutional quality, FDI inflows and sustainable economic growth in emerging African economies. The variables of the model included; GDP per capita GDPPC, foreign direct investment FDI, domestic investment DOMINV, corruption perception index CPI, political stability POLSTAB and exchange rate EXR. The study found and concluded that using panel fixed effect, institutional quality, (proxy with corruption perception index CPI and political stability POLSATB) and FDI both have a significant relationship with sustainable economic growth in emerging African economies. The study therefore recommends that Governments in these nations need to create and encourage a conducive environment that will increase FDI inflows in the various sectors of the economy since the results of the study have shown its growth enhancing capability. Control of corruption and political stability has shown to aid and encourage the entrenchment of rule of law, democracy and justice. Corrupt tendencies need to be reduced to the barest minimum. Exchange rate stability is to be pursued vigorously and attained in other to attract investments (domestic and foreign)
Evaluating the Nexus between Macroeconomic Indicators and Stock Market Performance in Nigeria
Authors: Ordue James Agera , Yua Henry , Ityavyar Doosuur ViVian , Tarnongo Tom Jacob
Published: April 2024

This study examines the effect of macroeconomic indicators on stock market performance in Nigeria from 1986 to 2022 using time series data analysis. The analysis includes unit root tests, co-integration tests, and error correction model analysis to understand the long-term and short-term dynamics between macroeconomic variables and stock market performance. Various diagnostic tests, such as tests for autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity, were conducted to enhance the accuracy of the model. The results indicate a strong positive relationship between stock market performance and lagged values of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Inflation Rate (INF) in the long run. Economic growth, as indicated by GDP, and inflation rates play significant roles in driving stock market movements in Nigeria. Conversely, there is a negative relationship between stock market performance and lagged values of equity (EQUI) and interest rate (INTR), suggesting that changes in equity and interest rates may not have a long-term influence on stock market performance. The short-run analysis reveals short-term momentum in stock market performance, with past stock market returns and inflation rates positively affecting current stock market performance. However, variables like GDP, equities, exchange rates, and interest rates do not show significant short-term effects on stock market performance, indicating their impact may be more pronounced in the long run. These findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and investors seeking to understand the relationship between macroeconomic conditions and stock market movements in Nigeria.
Effect of A Nurse-Led Interactive Education On Perception of Disease Risk Among Nurses in Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Lagos
Authors: Ndurue Light Obioma
Published: April 2024

This research examines the influence of nurses' perceptions of the risk associated with COVID-19 on public health outcomes, with a specific emphasis on LASUTH, a vital healthcare referral centre in Lagos, Nigeria. The study utilises a quasi-experimental pre-/post-test approach to evaluate the efficacy of nurse-led interactive education in influencing nurses' perceptions of COVID-19 risk. The cohort included 527 nurses from LASUTH. The data was gathered by a validated questionnaire, whereas the intervention consisted of a nurse-led interactive training session. The statistical analyses, both descriptive and inferential, were performed using SPSS version 25. The results demonstrate changes in nurses' views after the intervention. At first, 6.8% of individuals held negative impressions, which subsequently rose to 10.2%. The percentage of fair opinions declined from 27.1% to 20.3%, whilst the percentage of excellent perceptions saw a little rise from 66.1% to 69.5%. The average perception score reduced from 13.2±3.47 to 12.5±3.76, indicating a rise in awareness and changed attitudes after the intervention. The results indicate a reduction in the level of intense anxiety towards the virus, from 27.1% to 22%. There is also an increased level of worry over mortality, as well as a greater recognition of the need of preventative actions. The intervention significantly altered the nurses' sense of danger. The results also verified a substantial disparity (p < 0.05) in the perceptions before and after the intervention, so providing evidence to reject the null hypothesis. This research highlights the efficacy of treatments led by nurses in altering perceptions of COVID-19 risks, offering valuable information for public health initiatives and interventions.

This study aimed to assess work-related factors influencing burnout among nurses in selected hospitals in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Using a Cross-Sectional Descriptive survey, the research examined the relationship between work-related factors and burnout, with specific objectives to determine the level of burnout among nurses. The findings revealed that factors such as higher nurse-patient ratios, working without off days, increased workload, chronic lack of sleep, and an inconducive working environment significantly contribute to burnout. Notably, nurse-patient ratios and working extra hours without rest ranked highest in influencing extreme tiredness and burnout. The study employed Pearson Product Moment Correlation to establish a significant relationship between work-related factors and burnout among nurses. The results demonstrated a strong correlation (r=0.773, p<0.05), emphasizing the crucial link between workplace conditions and nurse burnout. The prevalence of burnout among nurses was substantial, highlighting challenges in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. The study recommends interventions, including optimal nurse-patient ratios, policies promoting work-life balance, fatigue management programs, and improvements in the working environment. These recommendations aim to address specific stressors and enhance overall well-being among nurses, emphasizing the importance of organizational policies and practices in mitigating

Published: April 2024

Many women are unaware that coronary heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality. Instead, breast cancer is their greatest dread. Worryingly, healthcare practitioners seem to lack fundamental understanding regarding cardiovascular disease among women. Women are normally 10 years older than males when heart disease is found, and they are 20 years older when they suffer their first myocardial infarction. Because coronary heart disease is more frequent in elderly women, many believe that postponing the process of decreasing their risk will be postponed. The aim of this study is to assess knowledge of risk factors associated with heart diseases among women of reproductive age in Nigeria. The study was cross sectional study design. Data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaire, and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25 and presented using appropriate tables. Level of significance set at P<0.05. The findings from this study shows a significant association with overall knowledge of the respondents on health related issues at (χ2=23.173, p=0.000) and (χ2=18.260, p=0.000) respectively as p<0.05 in each case and non-significant association with age and religion, economic status and occupation at (χ2=1.158, p=0.561) , (χ2=2.689, p=0.101) (χ2=1.417, p=0.841) and (χ2=7.276, p=0.064) respectively of the respondents as p<0.05. Overall, the respondents participated in this study have a good knowledge and awareness of the risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease and warning features of CVD events. Community education on CVDs, targeting especially populations with low socio-economic status, may be beneficial in the combined efforts to achieve the reductions in heart attacks.

El aprendizaje es un proceso esencial en la vida de cada ser humano, una travesía constante en la que adquirimos conocimientos, habilidades y comprensión del mundo que nos rodea. En la búsqueda de un aprendizaje significativo y duradero, la pedagogía moderna ha evolucionado y se ha centrado cada vez más en estrategias que promuevan la participación activa de los estudiantes en su propio proceso de adquisición de conocimientos. Este libro, “Aprendizaje Activo y Enseñanza Efectiva,” se sumerge en este emocionante y transformador enfoque educativo (Vera et al., 2022). El siglo XXI ha traído consigo una revolución tecnológica y un cambio en la dinámica de la información, lo que ha requerido que la educación se adapte y evolucione. Ya no es suficiente que los educadores transmitan hechos y datos; deben cultivar habilidades de pensamiento crítico, resolución de problemas y colaboración en sus alumnos. Esto ha llevado al surgimiento del aprendizaje activo, un paradigma en el que los estudiantes son agentes activos de su propia educación, participando en experiencias de aprendizaje dinámicas y contextualizadas (Lozano et al., 2020). En este libro, exploraremos en profundidad las estrategias pedagógicas clave que respaldan el aprendizaje activo, desde el Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) hasta la enseñanza colaborativa y el uso de la tecnología educativa. Descubriremos cómo estas metodologías pueden transformar aulas convencionales en entornos de aprendizaje vibrantes y participativos, donde los estudiantes son motivados y empoderados para explorar, descubrir y crear. A lo largo de estas páginas, examinaremos la teoría que sustenta el aprendizaje activo, pero también nos sumergiremos en la práctica. Aprenderemos cómo diseñar proyectos que involucren a los estudiantes en la resolución de problemas del mundo real, cómo fomentar la colaboración efectiva entre compañeros y cómo aprovechar la tecnología para ampliar las posibilidades de aprendizaje. No se trata solo de cambiar el enfoque en el aula, sino de crear un cambio en la cultura educativa. Este libro está dirigido tanto a educadores que buscan revitalizar sus prácticas pedagógicas como a administradores escolares que desean impulsar una transformación educativa significativa en sus instituciones. A medida que avanzamos en esta exploración del aprendizaje activo y la enseñanza efectiva, recordemos que la educación es un viaje continuo, y juntos, nos embarcamos en una travesía hacia un futuro educativo más enriquecedor y empoderador para todos los estudiantes.
Educación Inclusiva y Diversidad

La educación inclusiva emerge como una respuesta evolutiva a las demandas de una sociedad diversa y en constante cambio. Este movimiento, arraigado en la equidad y la justicia, busca transformar los sistemas educativos para abrazar todas las formas de diversidad humana, desde las discapacidades hasta las diferencias culturales y socioeconómicas. La inclusión no es solo un objetivo pedagógico sino un compromiso ético que refleja un profundo respeto por cada individuo y su potencial único. En el corazón de la educación inclusiva yace la convicción de que todos los estudiantes, independientemente de sus particularidades, tienen el derecho a aprender juntos en ambientes que promuevan su máximo desarrollo personal, social, y académico. Este principio desafía las prácticas educativas tradicionales, que a menudo segregaban a estudiantes basándose en sus necesidades educativas especiales o diferencias culturales, y propone un modelo educativo donde la diversidad es vista como un recurso valioso y no como un obstáculo (Delgado-Valdivieso et al., 2021).

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo resaltar la necesidad de una perspectiva de género en el planteamiento de un nuevo modelo educativo. Impulsado desde la mirada del aprendizaje expansivo, se busca aprovechar sus procedimientos, caracterizados por fomentar alianzas multisectoriales hacia una meta común. En tal sentido, se aplicó una revisión de literatura ligada a la brecha digital entre hombres y mujeres, sujeta a un enfoque cualitativo, de tipo básico y un diseño bibliográfico con nivel descriptivo. Se procedió a explorar las diversas fuentes primarias de información, las cuales apuntaban a responder la siguiente pregunta: ¿de qué manera el enfoque de género promueve el aprendizaje expansivo en un entorno digital? Como parte de los resultados, se eligieron 15 artículos enfocados en detallar cuán complejo resultaba superar las barreras culturales e institucionales que potencian los estereotipos de género, y que terminan por alejar a las mujeres de la investigación técnica. El aporte investigativo resalta la importancia de impulsar una cultura inclusiva en el sector tecnológico, con políticas de transversalización de género e interculturalidad destinadas a fomentar el desarrollo de habilidades digitales en mujeres y niñas. De esta manera, será posible construir una sociedad más dinámica, equitativa y resiliente ante los futuros cambios que promete el avance de la cibernética.
ACTIVIDADES ACADÉMICAS EMPRENDEDORAS PARA EL DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLE Y LA AGENDA 2030

En el presente trabajo, se ha planteado como objetivo identificar cómo la universidad favorece las actividades académicas emprendedoras según la Agenda 2030. Para ello, se ha realizado una revisión sistemática utilizando diferentes criterios del método PRISMA, como los criterios de selección y el diagrama de flujo. Se limitó la búsqueda de artículos a los años 2019 y 2023 para actualizar la información obtenida con respecto a las nuevas actividades académicas emprendedoras. Se optó por la base de datos Scopus y el motor de búsqueda Google Académico; esto dio como resultado un total de 2312 artículos que pasaron por un proceso de selección de varias etapas. De ello se obtuvo un total de 14 estudios que plasmaron las distintas iniciativas de las instituciones de educación superior para el fomento de proyectos y programas de innovación y sostenibilidad, al igual que las capacidades y habilidades que se deben potenciar en estas actividades, así como la consideración del rol docente en este ámbito de emprendimiento. Es así que se establece como conclusión que la universidad tiende a aplicar actividades como concursos, programas de innovación y la gestión de alianzas con empresas u otras universidades que puedan financiar proyectos emprendedores; de la misma forma, la mejora en infraestructura y en la plana docente permite que el estudiante pueda motivarse positivamente y establecer el espíritu emprendedor.

En los últimos años, la modalidad de educación virtual ha ido ganando relevancia a nivel universitario, debido a su capacidad para romper las barreras de tiempo y espacio geográfico, por lo que los videos representan una herramienta fundamental en este nuevo proceso de tecnificación. A tal efecto, en esta investigación se planteó como objetivo determinar la manera en que los videos representan una alternativa en el aprendizaje de asignaturas en educación superior. Para ello se realizó una revisión sistemática en las bases de datos Scopus, Web of Science y ProQuest con los buscadores booleanos “Aprendizaje” and “videos” and “educación superior”, empleando como criterios de inclusión, artículos publicados desde el 2020; como tipo de documento, solo artículos científicos, en estado final de publicación, con acceso abierto; finalmente, fueron seleccionados 12 artículos para su análisis. La evidencia permite concluir que el aprendizaje basado en videos representa una alternativa viable y con mucho potencial en las diferentes asignaturas de educación superior, como Estadística, Microbiología, Liderazgo, Poder Público, Evaluación Educativa, Idiomas, Interculturalidad, Contabilidad, Administración y Dirección de Empresas, obteniendo una gran aceptación por parte de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, también fue posible hallar evidencia de que este recurso didáctico solo tiene un efecto positivo cuando es de corta duración, los contenidos presentados se encuentran adecuadamente organizados, utilizan un lenguaje entendible o las imágenes reflejadas son llamativas.
