Authors: Villalba Maria Soledad , Entrocassi Gabriela , Martínez Carretero Eduardo
Published: October 2023

The Subtropical Mountain Forests or Yungas at the northern extreme of Argentina (Sierras de Tartagal, Alto Macueta and del Alto Río Seco, Salta Province) were bioclimatically characterized for the first time. In this study, the methodology of the Bioclimatic Classification of Earth was applied. Twelve Temperature and Precipitation climatic parameters were used and three bioclimatic indices corresponding to 54 Bioclimatic Reference Localities (BRL) established in the study area were also calculated. From them we determined the bioclimatic units of each BRL at the level of Macrobioclimate, Bioclimate, Thermotypes and Ombrotypes. Subsequently, three bioclimatic maps (Bioclimate, Thermotypes and Ombrotypes) and two bioclimatic distribution maps of the forests and its vegetation belt (Premontane Forest and Montane Rainforest) were digitally developed using the QGIS software. The results obtained show that these forests are distributed within the Tropical Macrobioclimate and Tropical Pluviseasonal Bioclimate, with Upper Thermotropical and Lower Mesotropical thermotypes and Lower Subhumid and Upper Subhumid ombrotypes. The lowest vegetation belt, the Premontane Forest, is distributed between (≈400) 429-889 (≈900) m asl and exhibits two thermal variants: the warm Thermotropical Premontane Forest and the more temperate Mesotropical Premontane Forest. The Montane Rainforest is distributed at higher altitudes between (≈900) 965-1178 (≈1200) m als under Lower Mesotropical Thermotype. Both vegetation belts present two ombric variants, whose geographic distribution is determined by the precipitation gradient operating in the region: towards the West, the more humid variants are distributed under the Upper Subhumid ombrotype, while towards the East, the less humid variants are found under Lower Subhumid ombrotype. The present work constitutes the first bioclimatic study carried out in this forest formation applying the methodology of the Bioclimatic Classification of the Earth. It also lays the foundations and contributes whith valuable information to future floristic, vegetational, ecological and biogeographical studies and those focused on the conservation and sustainable management of native forests at the northern extreme of Argentina.
ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX BURDEN IMPACT ON THE ENTITY'S FINANCIAL RESULTS: MICRO AND MACROECONOMIC ASPECTS
Authors: Zaharco Silvia
Published: October 2023

Taxes are costs for entities that significantly affect the financial results of the economic-financial activity. The level of fiscal burden imposed on taxpayers depends both on the external fiscal environment in which the entity operates and on the characteristics of its financial and economic activities, including its cost structure, sales revenue, income and other indicators. Therefore, to ensure efficient activity, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the impact of fiscal burden on the entity's financial results. The purpose of this research is to assess the level of fiscal burden and determine the degree of influence on some indicators that characterize the economic-financial activity of the entity. The study is based on the methods of assessing the fiscal burden applied in international practice at both the micro and macroeconomic levels. The study reveals that in order to determine the fiscal burden, especially at the microeconomic level, there is a need to combine several indicators, in accordance with the conceptual approach to the analysis of the tax system. Therefore, increasing the entity's financial results does not only involve reducing taxes, but creating an efficient system for managing and optimizing the entire taxable system.

Authors: Țurcanu Dinu , Siminiuc Rodica
Published: October 2023

Creating food systems that provide healthy food for everyone without exploiting human or planetary resources, is one of the greatest challenges of this century. Front-end nutrition labeling and eco-efficiency systems have been proposed as a means of addressing health disparities and sustainable food and nutrition security. The aim of the study is the exploratory analysis of existing front-end nutrition labeling and eco-efficiency systems in order to make informed decisions about the further development of an effective labeling system. To carry out the study, the method of systematic document review and data triangulation was applied. The review provided information on the impact of color-coded labels and warnings in driving consumer purchasing behavior towards healthier products. Each labeling system had different attributes that should be taken into account when developing front-end nutrition labeling and eco-efficiency policies, depending on local contexts. However, front-end labeling is unlikely to be a panacea for changing consumer behavior but can target small incremental changes at different levels and actors in the food system.

Human Resource Development integrates and aligns training and development with organisational goals and strategy to improve performance. However, ingrained suboptimal skills and training opportunities in the Eastern Cape Department of Education (ECDoE) negatively impacts learning achievement outcomes. The purpose and objective of the study is to establish the relationship between training effectiveness and educator performance in the ECDoE.The study adopts a quantitative research strategy with 270 respondents. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from participants. The survey questionnaire’s internal consistency and reliability were measured using Pearson's coefficient and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. Results show that most respondents did not view the trainings provided by the ECDoE as relevant to job performance, and the attainment of the Department’s strategic goals. The study concludes that ECDoE’s training should be closely aligned with educators’ Key Performance Areas, Performance Development Plans and individual needs analysis.
WRITING WORKSHOPS IN FRENCH FOREIGN LANGUAGE AT THE ALGERIAN UNIVERSITY
Authors: Makhlouf Leila
Published: October 2023

This research takes stock of a didactic approach to remediation undertaken in a Frech foreign language class at the University of Blida 2. The experiment was initiated by a double observation. The first is the unsatisfactory quality of the texts produced by my students in the course of written comprehension-production, and the second being the negative relationship expressed by the latter vis-à-vis the literary modules. To remedy this, I designed a didactic device aimed at developing the scriptural skills of learners through the reading of literary short stories. The results generated by this study reveal a significant increase in the public concerned at the local level (microstructure) but especially on the global level (macrostructure) of the texts produced by the participants. Also, the data collected show the role of writing workshops in motivating learners to write in a foreign language. In addition, the literary short story has proven to be an effective educational tool to use in the language class to help learners improve their target language.

Compressive Osseointegration Modular Prosthesis; Its Complications and Survival: A Systematic Review
Authors: Wondany Ryan Putra , Astawa Putu
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Minimal remaining bone is one condition that often complicates the limb salvage procedure. Compressive osseointegration is one of the latest modalities with a potential as a solution for this condition. While this modality is promising, the research on its effectivity and longevity on managing limb salvage in musculoskeletal tumor has not been widely studied, particularly in terms of complications and 5-year and 10-year implant survival rate.
Materials and Methods: We comprehensively searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, and Scopus for researches related to compressive osseointegration up to May 2021, which resulted in 89 articles. All publications were then reviewed by the authors based on PRISMA guidelines, which qualified 10 articles for systematic review.
Results: Compressive osseointegration has been reported to have a high 5-year & 10-year survival rate, up to 95% and 93% respectively, which are comparable to earlier models of implants. Earlier studies reported mechanical failure and prosthetic infection to be the most common complications to occur in compressive osseointegration, and occurred mostly before their second postoperative year, where mechanical failure is mostly caused by fall and strenuous activities on younger patients.
Conclusion: Compressive osseointegration is a promising limb salvage endoprosthesis design. It offers capability of salvaging limb with minimal amount of bone remaining after resection. Complications that occurs from using this endoprosthesis are mostly aseptic failure, which occurs within two years postoperatively, resulting in 5-year and 10-year survival rate of 85% and 81% respectively.

Victimology Analysis of Umrah Travel Agency Fraud Cases in Indonesia
Authors: . Supriyanto , Nurhadiyanto Lucky
Published: October 2023

The exploitation of public interest in Umrah by certain individuals or entities for fraudulent purposes is a prevalent phenomenon. Typically, the prevailing method employed in fraudulent activities is the offer of reduced fees. During the period from 2011 to 2018, Indonesia had multiple instances of fraudulent activities or criminal acts related to Umrah trip. The predominant modus operandi of Umrah fraud typically revolves around the provision of low-cost Umrah packages. The discovery of fraudulent activities disguised as Umrah operations was initiated by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) upon detecting strange and atypical transactions conducted by the company. The Umrah travel agency employs a Ponzi scheme as a means of conducting its business operations, wherein monies obtained from subsequent victims are utilised to finance the travel expenses of prior victims, hence ensuring the coverage of all associated costs. This paper employs a descriptive qualitative methodology. The data gathering process in this study involved conducting a comprehensive review of relevant literature, including reports, documents, prior research, books, scientific works, national and international journals, and other scholarly sources. The perceived effectiveness of state measures addressing crime victims is diminished due to a lack of coherence and support among existing rules. It is imperative to give precedence to the ideas of restorative justice, particularly in relation to individuals who have been victimised by fraudulent activities. The victim's experience of recurrent victimisation, including fraud and the cancellation of their Umrah trip, resulted in psychological pressure. This pressure was exacerbated by the fact that the victim had already undertaken rituals and expressions of gratitude in preparation for the Umrah journey. It is anticipated that there will be a harmonisation of regulations and supervisory functions between the Indonesian Ministry of Religion and the OJK, along with a shared understanding among law enforcement officials and experts. This alignment is crucial to ensure that these entities prioritise the welfare of victims in the execution of their responsibilities.

The use of good information system technology can help the implementation of the work program of the puskesmas effectively, reports on the performance of the puskesmas can be reported periodically and systematically so that the puskesmas management can make the right decisions. SIKDA at the Medical Record Unit at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center just started in April 2019. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Regional Health Information System (SIKDA) in improving outpatient services at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center and to analyze the inhibiting factors for the implementation of generic SIKDA at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center. The research method used is qualitative analysis with a descriptive approach. The time of the research was conducted in March-May 2023 at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center. The results of the study when viewed from the perspective of human factors found that SIKDA at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center could not be carried out by every officer in the service unit, there were no special technical staff who managed the information system and there was no further training or outreach. While from the technological factor there are several damaged devices and information systems that are not updated. It can be concluded that generic SIKDA human resources are still lacking in operating generic SIKDA in all outpatient service units due to limited human resources. The technological factor for the application of SIKDA is already very good. However, support from the leadership for the implementation of generic SIKDA is considered to be lacking due to limited facilities and infrastructure, and the availability of human resources. And the benefits generated by the regional health information system (SIKDA) at the Ciranjang Inpatient Health Center are still not being felt due to not being integrated in all outpatient services and software applications that have never been updated again.

Published: October 2023

In a competitive marketplace, effective persuasion sets a brand apart. Companies that can persuade customers effectively tend to outperform their competitors by capturing a larger share of the market. This study delves into the application of the Elaboration-Likelihood Model on TikTok, a dual-process theory elucidating cognitive processes during persuasion, encompassing central and peripheral processing routes. The aims of this study are to investigate how the Elaboration-Likelihood Model is incorporated in sellers’ TikTok videos, and the types of language of persuasion used. A qualitative descriptive method was employed to analyse three TikTok videos from three selected TikTok seller accounts. A documentary technique will be used to collect data for the study, and a content analysis method will be carried out for the data analysis. Findings show that there are 17 types of language of persuasion employed throughout the sample, with Simple Solutions having the highest frequency, employed by all the TikTok posts. The implications of this study are twofold. Firstly, it will illuminate the profound influence of persuasion techniques on message reception, thereby aiding digital marketers in comprehending their audience's cognitive processes and facilitating the utilization of the most effective strategies. Secondly, it will contribute to the academic field of linguistics by expanding knowledge in the realm of persuasion and negotiation. Additionally, it will foster media literacy within society, empowering individuals to make informed decisions.
Macro- and Micro-level Determinants of Board Effectiveness in European Listed Companies: A Comparative Analysis of the United Kingdom and Romania
Authors: Jansen Peter AM , Fulop Melinda Timea
Published: October 2023

In this empirical study, UK and Romanian listed firms are analyzed and compared in order to determine the correlations between board processes, board role performance, and board effectiveness. Explanatory and quantitative in nature and based on the survey method, the research design uses validated statements based on a 7-point Likert-type scale, grouped into validated constructs. It was sent to 342 chairmen of selected Romanian and British listed companies. The study provides additional support for the moderating impact of national settings (legal, institutional, and cultural) on board effectiveness, the mediating effect of board roles on board processes, and the relevance of those board processes as predictors of board effectiveness. This study adds to the sparse body of research that examines the influence of board processes on board performance as well as the moderating role played by the national context in these processes and, ultimately, board effectiveness. The primary drawback of this study is the small sample size (55), which suggests that the results are less reliable and less generalizable. To ensure the homogeneity of the sample, however, a number of measures were taken, beginning with a distinctive dataset of enterprises with equivalent sizes and industry representation. The study is helpful for regulators who wish to better regulate board conduct as well as board directors and chairmen of publicly traded firms since it can assist them in better understanding and controlling board behavior.

RISK FACTORS FOR PHYSICAL DISABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH LEPROSY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Winona Iriadi Felicia
Published: October 2023

Background: Leprosy is also referred to as Hansen disease. It is a chronic granulomatous infection generally caused by Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis, both of which primarily affects the skin and peripheral nerves. Physical disability (PD) can occur before leprosy diagnosis, during treatment and post-release from treatment. However, although patients may be exposed to risk factors that potentiate the risk of more severe PD they stop being routinely evaluated once the treatment of active leprosy has been completed.
The aim: This study aims to show about risk factor for physical disability in patients with leprosy.
Methods: By comparing itself to the standards set by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) 2020, this study was able to show that it met all of the requirements. So, the experts were able to make sure that the study was as up-to-date as it was possible to be. For this search approach, publications that came out between 2013 and 2023 were taken into account. Several different online reference sources, like Pubmed and SagePub, were used to do this. It was decided not to take into account review pieces, works that had already been published, or works that were only half done.
Result: In the PubMed database, the results of our search brought up 104 articles, whereas the results of our search on SagePub brought up 77 articles. The results of the search conducted for the last year of 2013 yielded a total 88 articles for PubMed and 48 articles for SagePub. The result from title screening, a total 7 articles for PubMed and 28 articles for SagePub. In the end, we compiled a total of 10 papers. We included five research that met the criteria.
Conclusion: Delayed diagnosis, nerve damage, no skin lesions, WHO and Ridley-Jopling classifications, leprosy reactions, advanced age, rural occupation, Han ethnicity, and male sex were associated with disability in leprosy patients. Identifying risk factors could help to prevent physical disability.
Impacto científico de los investigadores: ¿aporte vs índice h?
Authors: Ungerfeld Rodolfo
Published: October 2023

Durante los últimos años aumentó el uso de los índices de impacto por parte de instituciones para evaluar a las revistas científicas, la productividad de las instituciones, o a los investigadores. En el presente artículo se discute la validez del uso de estos indicadores para evaluar la trayectoria académica de los investigadores. El indicador más utilizado para evaluar a los investigadores es el índice h, el que se basa en la cantidad de artículos citados al menos una mínima cantidad de veces h. Este índice no considera la producción que está por debajo de ese valor, el impacto o aporte individual del investigador, su ubicación como autor en los artículos, los años de trabajo del mismo, el área temática, o el tiempo que requieren algunos artículos, en algunos temas, para efectivamente impactar a nivel de la comunidad científica. Se utiliza el perfil de citas de Einstein y del artículo de Watson y Crick (1953) en que se describe la doble hélice del ADN como ejemplos que muestran que el mayor impacto puede no ser inmediato y requerir años de desarrollo del área, a pesar de que su importancia fuera clave para el desarrollo de la misma. Los índices son formas de cuantificar impactos, pero el uso y abuso de los mismos, y sobre todo el uso para considerar aspectos que no son los que miden, puede llevar a conclusiones equivocadas. Si bien son parte de las herramientas disponibles para medir productividad científica, los mismos deben ser considerados en función de lo que efectivamente miden en base a los insumos y criterios en que se basan. Por tanto, es importante que los sistemas de evaluación científica los pongan en contexto al considerarlos para la evaluación del desempeño académico.

INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer de mama é a neoplasia que mais mata mulheres com mais de 50 anos no mundo, sendo o câncer mais incidente em 2020. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se relatar sobre uma campanha feita em novembro, a qual elucidou a comunidade sobre medidas para prevenção dessa neoplasia, além de identificar e desmistificar mitos referentes ao câncer de mama.
RELATO: “Laço Rosa o Ano Inteiro” foi uma ação realizada em dois encontros (um online e outro presencial) que contou com a participação de mulheres e homens de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde e de uma empresa local. A finalidade da campanha foi informar sobre o câncer de mama, bem como seus sinais, sintomas, diagnóstico e tratamento. Para isso, utilizou-se de dinâmicas, recursos atrativos e explicações para facilitar o repasse das informações.
DISCUSSÃO: Foi observado que grande número de participantes acreditou na obrigatoriedade do componente familiar para o desenvolvimento da neoplasia, além de haver saberes inadequados sobre a mamografia, como o mito de possuir silicone impedir a realização desse exame e de ele, por si só, causar o câncer. Tais achados se assemelham ao encontrado na literatura, assim como o fato de nenhum participante saber o período correto para acompanhamento mamográfico. Como limitações do relato, destacam-se a baixa quantidade de pessoas envolvidas e a curta duração da campanha para sensibilização dos envolvidos.
CONCLUSÃO: A campanha realizada identificou que mitos e falta de conhecimento ainda permeiam o imaginário popular sobre o câncer de mama, e tal realidade dificulta a adesão a medidas preventivas e, consequentemente, a diminuição dos índices desse câncer. Ações como a realizada aqui, através de métodos lúdicos para educação em saúde, contribuem para mudar esse cenário.

Published: October 2023

The Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) was caused by SARS-CoV-2, a highly pathogenic, novel zoonotic βcoronavirus. The infection was reported less than a decade after the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012, which was reported precisely a decade after SARS-CoV-1 infection, discovered in 2002; the three viruses being zoonotic β-CoVs, leading to severe and potentially fatal respiratory tract infections. COVID-19 started locally in Wuhan but has spread globally to 231 countries within the six habitable continents of the world as of September 22, 2023, affecting health, socio-lifestyle, and economy, leading to changes to accommodate sustainability. A total of 695, 684,448 cases have been recorded with 6,919,216 deaths and 667,700,972 recoveries as of September 2023. This is a global review across the continents of the world, highlighting the epidemiology and impact of the virus as well as human sustainability despite the pandemic.
