Introduction: Echocardiography is a pivotal exam in critically ill patients, a specific training is crucial. Medical residents often lack echocardiography practice.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of simulation-based training on medical residents' echocardiography mastery.
Methods: This interventional study was conducted among medical residents at the Simulation Center of the Faculty of Medicine in Monastir (CeSim) in January 2022. The intervention consisted of a theoretical training and a simulator-based practical training concerning echocardiography.  Residents underwent evaluation before and after training through a "Pre-Test" and a "Post-Test," respectively, using a French-language questionnaire. Participation was entirely voluntary.
Results:  A total of 28 medical residents participated in our study, with the majority being female (57.1%). The median age was 29 years (interquartile range: 28-31.75). Following training, the proportion of participants who reported having the necessary skills for echocardiography interpretation significantly increased (p<0.05). Respondents demonstrated significant improvements in their scores on theoretical tests and practical skills assessments. Concerning echocardiographic views, the percentage of participants who correctly identified the title of the parasternal small axis section increased from 53.6% before training to 100% after training (p <10-3). Significant enhancements were observed in all parameters evaluating the practice of echocardiographic sections by respondents on a mannequin after training, encompassing time to obtain the view, view quality, image quality, visualization of structures, interpretability, and image stability (p<10-3). There was a significant improvement in average response rates for echocardiographic clinical syndroms among medical residents before and after training. All participants emphasized  ...(abstract truncated at 250 words).

El derecho a la tenencia de hijos y la desigualdad de género en el Ecuador
Authors: Machado-López Libertad , Cedeño-Floril Mariuxi Paola , González-Aguilar Brithany Brigitte , Castillo-Moreno José Luis
Published: July 2024

El derecho a la tenencia de hijos se refiere al derecho de los padres a tener la custodia y cuidado de sus hijos. En Ecuador, este derecho está reconocido y protegido tanto en la Constitución Nacional como en leyes específicas, en donde se establece que tanto la madre como el padre tienen los mismos derechos y responsabilidades en relación con sus hijos. Además, se reconoce el principio de igualdad entre hombres y mujeres, lo que implica que ambos progenitores tienen el mismo derecho. Sin embargo, a pesar de este reconocimiento legal, persisten desigualdades y estereotipos de género. Existen casos en los que se han perpetuado patrones de violencia de género en el contexto de la tenencia de hijos, utilizando la custodia como una herramienta de control o como forma de ejercer violencia, generando situaciones de desigualdad y vulnerabilidad. Para abordar estas problemáticas, es necesario promover una mayor igualdad de género, cambiando roles y estereotipos de género ya establecidos, fomentando la corresponsabilidad en el cuidado de los hijos, brindar apoyo y recursos a los padres y madres para ejercer plenamente su derecho a la tenencia, y garantizar la protección de las mujeres y los niños frente a la violencia de género.

Published: July 2024

A trend may be observed presently that involves submitting applications of an additional description and evaluation before setting a deadline for a real estate auction. Such requests are submitted by debtors. Issues discussed in this study are aimed at approximating practical problems relating to handling such applications. The most important issues include answers to the following questions: should a lapse of time and change of value of real estate on the market be qualified as a major change of real estate status? Is it admissible to submit an application for an additional description and estimation after the first ineffective auction of real estate? If the answer is positive and, therefore, an additional description and estimation are prepared, is the first or perhaps the second auction of real estate held? The article discusses also issues relating to the cost of an additional description and estimation.
Pratiques de médiation, entre scénarios clefs en main et analyse du réel en formation d’enseignants
Authors: Rondelli Fabienne
Published: July 2024

Les théorisations de la médiation en pédagogie comme moyen d’entrer dans la culture, au sens de Bruner (1990, 1996), ont nourris les formations spécialisées et ont permis d’expérimenter des dispositifs de formation souvent fondés sur l’isomorphie, demandant aux formés de s’inscrire dans le même espace psychique que les élèves. Depuis les années 2000, les travaux sur la clinique de l’activité et sur l’agir professionnel invitent à penser les formations comme des moments d’analyse du réel. Nous présenterons dans ce cadre un exemple d’analyse d’un format interactionnel mis en œuvre en médiation culturelle et semblant propice à l’appropriation des outils nécessaires à la construction par le sujet de son rapport au monde et à la culture. Il s’agira de considérer en quoi la médiation culturelle peut être utilement examinée dans le cadre de la formation aux pratiques inclusives, dans une dynamique porteuse de transfert et de développement professionnel.

Authors: Septianingrum Diyenik Eka , Oktariyanda Trenda Aktiva
Published: July 2024

The Bojonegoro District Government, together with the Bojonegoro District Communication and Information Office (KOMINFO), had implemented the use of the OpenSID application as a means of providing better public services. One of the areas where this initiative was being carried out was in Kemamang Village, Balen Sub-district, Bojonegoro District. The objective of this research was to describe the Effectiveness of Implementing the OpenSID Application in Improving Document Services in Kemamang Village. This study employed a qualitative descriptive research method, focusing on effectiveness measurement based on Subagyo’s criteria, which included program targeting accuracy, program socialisation, program goal achievement, and program monitoring. The research findings indicated that the OpenSID programme in Kemamang Village had effectively achieved its goals and objectives. OpenSID had facilitated access and enhanced citizen satisfaction. However, the programme’s socialisation aspect had not been effective, leading to low citizen participation. Intensive socialisation involving the community was necessary. Programme monitoring needed enhancement to identify issues and improve programme quality. The challenge of application maintenance also required attention to ensure programme performance. By undertaking these measures, the OpenSID programme could become more effective and optimal. The implementation of the OpenSID application in Kemamang Village was ineffective in terms of the socialisation and programme monitoring indicators. The lack of citizen engagement in socialisation had resulted in a lack of awareness regarding document creation requirements. Therefore, the Village Government needed to actively participate in planned socialisation methods. Ineffective monitoring has also led to system maintenance issues. Therefore, the Village Government should conduct regular monitoring to address problems and enhance programme effectiveness.
Analysis of the Quota of Women’s Representation as Candidates for Legislative Institutions in PKPU Number 10 of 2023
Authors: Dahlia Nelly , Warjiati Sri
Published: July 2024

The era of reform and democratisation, as well as the implementation of regional autonomy, is an important moment for women, especially in the regions, to actively participate in determining the direction of democracy in the life of the nation and state, but until now, politicians have more often shown interests that are not related to maintaining and implementing the sacred principles of democracy and the aspirations of the people. This situation occurs in the General Election Commission Regulation number 10 of 2023 Article 8 which is deemed not to represent women’s representation. For this reason, this paper discussed women’s representation in PKPU Number 10 of 2023 in the perspective of the theory of legal norms. The research method used was a normative juridical research approach. This approach involved legal research conducted by studying statutory materials and supporting literature to answer the problems being discussed. The result of this research was that PKPU Number 10 of 2023 not only contradicted the provisions of Article 245 of Law No.7 of 2017, but also did not provide certainty for the implementation of the zipper system as stipulated in the provisions of Article 246 (2) of Law No. 7 of 2017. Empirically, women’s representation was still a problem, both in political parties and when they became legislative members.

Challenges in Instructional Supervision: A Phenomenological Study of Master Teachers in Cabuyao
Authors: Andal Lory Lyn
Published: July 2024

This study explored the lived experiences of master teachers in the City Schools Division of Cabuyao, focusing on the challenges they encountered in instructional supervision. The research aimed to identify specific issues faced by master teachers and propose solutions to enhance teacher effectiveness and professional growth. A phenomenological qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing homogenous purposeful sampling. Ten master teachers who supervised schools with low National Achievement Test results in 2021-2022 participated in the study. Data were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, generating key themes from the participants' experiences. The analysis revealed three major themes: Time Management and Issues with Lesson Exemplars, Incorrect Classroom Management Practices and Pedagogical Approaches, Addressing Negative Feedback from Teachers, and Lack of Awareness of New Strategies. These themes highlighted challenges such as time management, classroom procedures, pedagogical approaches, and managing teachers’ reactions to feedback. The study suggested that school heads and master teachers should focus on enhancing teacher effectiveness, fostering professional growth, and addressing strengths and shortcomings identified during supervision. Emphasis was placed on developing teaching skills through self-awareness and positive behavior reinforcement. The importance of fostering reflection and generating improvement ideas without judgment was also highlighted. Based on the findings, a program for master teachers and teachers was proposed to address the critical needs of effective supervision in educational settings, aiming to support consistent improvements and a more effective teaching approach.

Authors: Bojadzievska-Danevska Andrijana ,   International Balkan University, Skopje, North Macedonia, Dimitrieska Savica , Parnadzieva Stanoevska Elena , Sadiku Luljeta
Published: July 2024

Public sector provides various essential services in terms of promoting social equity and inclusion, protecting the public interest, regulating and supervising various aspects of society and economy, fostering economic development, and supporting democratic governance. Therefore, the motivation of the public sector servants indirectly contributes to the overall effectiveness of the public service sector and finally to the well-being and prosperity of the society. Considering this, in the public sector, extrinsic factors cannot be easily and quickly influenced, i.e., they are fixed. This paper can be of crucial importance when determining the intrinsic factors behind the public sector servants’ satisfaction with their jobs and ultimately their performance. Considering this, in developing economies, such as the economy of the Republic of North Macedonia, public sector servants exhibit poor performance. The main purpose of the research presented in this paper has been to investigate the motivational factors of the public sector servants at municipality level in the Republic of North Macedonia. In the research, primary data collected by using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation have been used to determine whether gender-based differences exist in intrinsic motivation.
Do Competition, Size, and Macro Variables Impact Bank Risk?
Authors: Islam Md Nazmul , Halim Md. Abdul , Ali Md. Rostam
Published: July 2024

The paper investigates the correlation between bank competition, performance, and risk-taking behavior in MENA economies. Furthermore, it explores the risk level associated with dual banking as well as the bidirectional connectedness of competition and jeopardy in terms of size, GDP, and inflation rate. This work employs Generalised Method Moments (GMM) for regression findings and Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS) for robustness tests. It uses an unbalanced panel dataset from 256 banks and 14 MENA countries from the year 2011 to 2022. According to the study’s findings, financial stability improves, and bank risk-taking decreases with less bank competition. The findings of this investigation corroborate the competition fragility theory. The competition square concept suggests that in a market with competition, risk will eventually rise. In terms of economic progression, risk-taking behavior is exactly the reverse of bank competition. Again, the finding shows that good performance reduces the bank’s risk, finally turning to greater financial stability. Furthermore, there is a substantial association between inflation rates and the extent of banks’ risk-taking activity. In a competitive market scenario, MENA countries inflation rate risk-taking behavior initially increases and then declines over time, while bank size exhibits a similar trend in the near term. When the inflation rate rises, banks’ risk-taking behavior initially decreases and then rises over time. This research will provide policymakers in MENA nations with a better grasp of how to establish strategies that benefit the banking environment.
Integridad y transparencia en la contratación pública como una herramienta de eficacia y eficiencia en la gestión pública pos-COVID
Authors: Campos Acuña Concepción
Published: July 2024

This work addresses the new realities of public procurement in the scenario marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, where the instrumental nature of public procurement to provide citizens with quality public goods and services takes the spotlight. Procurement is presented as one of the driving forces for the implementation of recovery and transformation projects in the countries, through different public policies and programs such as the EU Next Generation Funds. Therefore, as analyzed in this document, it will be necessary to maximize integrity and transparency in the different procurement procedures in pursuit of greater effectiveness and efficiency in public management aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda. According to OECD, procurement is the area of greatest risk of public corruption. To approach the challenges posed, the paper is articulated around a series of proposals to characterize the efficiency model that is so necessary in procurement, given its instrumental nature in achieving the objectives of public policies. The dimension of digital transformation and digitization of procurement processes is analyzed, with the projection offered by the publication of training, in terms of social control and openness of procurement, through electronic channels and the possibilities arising in terms of analysis and massive data processing for effective accountability. It also takes into consideration the implementation of compliance techniques, such as post-pandemic integrity systems, which allow an integral management of ethics in public procurement, the reinforcement of institutional capacities in procurement, and the professionalization of public servants to ensure an effective rationalization of public expenditure and continuous improvement in the quality of public management. The analysis is completed with a proposal for the revision of integrity indicators, focusing on the phases before and after the bidding procedure, planning and execution as basic premises of the new model. The recovery model articulated in Europe, through the Recovery Mechanism with the Next Generation EU Funds, and the need to coordinate risk prevention and management mechanisms in its contracting, are exposes. In short, the study shows how the management of post-COVID public procurement should be more effective and efficient, avoiding the lack of transparency leading to market capture and inefficiencies due to lack of integrity. To this end, in a critical context such as the current one, transparent and integral procurement is presented as a key tool.
Transparencia de los partidos políticos en España y e-accesibilidad de las personas con discapacidad
Authors: Sánchez Medero Gema , Pastor Albaladejo Gema , Jiménez Meroño Sergio
Published: July 2024

This article analyses the transparency webs of Spanish political parties in order to verify whether they are accessible to people with disabilities (hearing, visual, motor or cognitive) and also to establish which elements determine or condition, to a greater or lesser extent, the level of accessibility of these spaces. To this end, an evaluation model was generated (4 criteria, 10 variables and 31 indicators) inspired by the guidelines for the development of e-accessibility of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which was applied through the use of automatic and manual techniques for the web pages’ review. In addition, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the degree of incidence or relationship of a series of factors (active transparency index, seniority, number of votes and number of deputies) on the level of accessibility of the transparency portals of the political parties. The research provides novel results, which will allow us to verify whether political parties manage inclusive transparency. That is, whether the websites, generated to comply with their legal obligations in terms of active advertising, favour the access of all people to e-information, including people with disabilities so that they can exercise their political citizenship on an equal footing with the rest.
¿Cómo incide el método de las evaluaciones en su uso?
Authors: González Peña José Danilo
Published: July 2024

The growing needs of citizens in different aspects of daily life, together with the enormous budgetary restrictions to adequately cover them, force public managers to carry out much more efficient and effective policies. One of the main functions of evaluations is to serve as an input in decision-making to improve public policies and in processes related to government accountability. However, in Latin America, and specifically in Colombia, there is little analysis on the use of information from evaluations of public programs and policies. To make progress in closing this gap, a descriptive study and a multivariate analysis were carried out in Colombia to analyze the potential uses of evaluative information and the incidence of the method used in the different types of use. The analysis used information from 251 evaluations from the education, health, social inclusion, agriculture, transportation and infrastructure, and housing sectors at the national level for the period 2008-2019. The main results of this analysis are: i) most of the evaluations show a potential instrumental use, i.e. their findings and recommendations are intended to be used to make direct and immediate decisions about the evaluated program; ii) 23.5% of the evaluations show a potential conceptual use, i.e. they were designed to provide information for accountability exercises or to improve knowledge about how the analyzed program works or operates; iii) instrumental use has a statistically significant and positive relationship with qualitative methods, public procurement and concomitant evaluation; and iv) conceptual use has a statistically significant and negative relationship with qualitative methods and with the agriculture, transportation and housing sectors.
Planificación, políticas públicas y Agenda 2030. El caso de Costa Rica
Authors: Arenilla Sáez Manuel
Published: July 2024

This article is the result of research based on the agreement signed in 2022 between the Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy (MIDEPLAN) of Costa Rica and the Latin American Center for Development Administration (CLAD). Its purpose was to develop the “Design and management of public policies in the framework of the SDGs”. The institutional approach was applied and it was considered that good performance in meeting the SDGs would not be achieved if there is no strong institutional architecture to ensure governance and institutional capacity. The research considers two premises. On one hand, the need to strengthen institutions to ensure the viability of planning and improve SDG performance through public policies.

The Metaphor and its Cognitive Implications for English Education in the 21st Century
Authors: Kasng Sukjin ,   The Society of English Education in Korea
Published: July 2024

This study explores conceptual metaphors of Have You Ever Seen a Flower? through the theories of cognitive linguistics such as categorization, image schemata, and prominence, attempting to apply cognitive linguistics to English education in this process. The conception that everyday language and poetic language are fundamentally different, and that literary language is a departure from everyday language use ultimately confine the metaphor within the self-sufficient and closed linguistic system or within the poet's imagination, away from our daily lives. For this reason, the metaphor has been regarded as secondary or non-essential in language learning. Yet from a cognitive linguistic point of view, the metaphor is in an inseparable relationship with thinking and cognition. The status of the metaphor in English education needs to be re-evaluated, and it should not be regarded as a secondary learning subject trapped in the stereotype of figurative expression.
