INSIGHTS INTO LEARNING STYLES PREFERENCE OF ENGINEERING UNDERGRADUATES: IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING
Authors: Ismail Nadia Nur Afiqah , Abdullah Tina , Abdul Raof Abdul Halim
Published: January 2022

Background and Purpose: Education at higher institutions prepares graduates for the real world. To develop and maintain quality, the focus must not only be on what institutions can offer but also on the learning needs and styles of learners. Despite many studies on engineering learners’ learning styles, limited research has been conducted to compare the learning styles of Engineering and Engineering Education learners. This study was conducted to ascertain the learning style preferences of first-year undergraduates from both groups in a science and technology-driven university in Malaysia.
 
Methodology: This descriptive study consisted of 40 Engineering and 40 Engineering Education learners who attended an English language course at the university. Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire was adopted as the survey instrument. The data were analysed using self-scoring sheet and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.
 
Findings: While both groups chose Kinaesthetic as a major learning style preference, the Engineering Education learners also chose Group, Tactile, and Auditory learning styles as their other major preferences. Both groups chose Visual and Individual as their minor preferences.
 
Contributions: The findings extend research demonstrating the significant role of specific disciplines in Engineering to determine the learning style preferences of learners. The findings also provide useful insights that suggest implications for practice and policy.
 
Keywords: Engineering, engineering education, English language, learning styles, teaching and learning.

THE INTEGRATED REPORTING FRAMEWORK ACROSS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: A THEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Othman Mona , Basnan Norida , Ahmad Azlina , Md Salleh Mohd Fairuz
Published: January 2022

Background and Purpose: The Integrated Reporting framework as emphasised by The International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) in 2013 (revised 2021), was accepted as one of the mechanisms nationwide to enhance public accountability. However, far fewer studies examined the intersection of the Integrated Reporting (IR) framework and the public sector. Addressing the gap, reviews of the literature were presented synthesising the adoption of the IR framework across public administration.
 
Methodology: By drawing upon SCOPUS, Science Direct and Mendeley databases were employed to generate academic literature beginning in 2011 through 2020. Following the inclusion and exclusion processes, 23 articles were selected and analysed by using ATLAS.ti 8.
 
Findings: The findings of the review were discussed qualitatively and quantitatively. Particular discerning were the qualitative findings; the findings outlined insights into key developments on the IR framework across the following groups, namely, ‘Fundamental Concepts’, ‘Guiding Principles’, and ‘Content Elements’. Key aspects of challenges concerning the adoption of existing frameworks in public administration were discussed.
 
Contributions: Future research might better consider developing a more appropriate IR framework for public administration, a framework that integrates policy and practice. By focusing on the academic literature emphasising the IR framework, academics, regulators, and reporting organisations could formulate appropriate strategies for public administration.
 
Keywords: Framework, integrated reporting, public sector, thematic review.

THE RIGHT OF AN ACCUSED TO DEFENCE UNDER THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Mohammed Na’aim Mohd Safri , Rajamanickam Ramalinggam , Nordin Rohaida
Published: January 2022

Background and Purpose: Under the criminal justice system, the burden lies on the prosecution to prove the guilt of the accused. It is worth noting that a criminal trial is not one-sided; it also allows the accused to raise his defence to prove his innocence. The research aims to analyse the right of the accused to raise a defence and when the defence should be raised in a criminal trial process in Malaysia.
 
Methodology: This research adopts a legal research approach involving a detailed analysis of the relevant legal provisions, case law and scholarly writing related to this area.
 
Findings: The research found that the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) (Act 593) is silent as to when the defence should be raised. That being said, with reference to the Supreme Court’s case of Lin Lian Chen v. Public Prosecutor [1992] 1 CLJ 285 (Rep), the accused should introduce his defence at the earliest stage as possible. Failing this may give rise to the presumption that the defence raised was a mere invention. Although the principle has been regarded as a law in raising defence, there are still cases where the accused did not present the defence at an earlier stage.
 
Contributions: This research contributes to the corpus of legal knowledge of criminal defence, particularly on raising criminal defence in a criminal trial with the aim of providing better protection for the accused in the criminal justice system.
Keywords: Criminal justice system, criminally liable, defence, right of the accused, & criminal trial.

Property of defect diminishing and stability
Authors: MORALES Marco Antonio Garcia , GLEBSKY Lev
Published: January 2022

Let $\Gamma$ be a group and $\mathscr{C}$ a class of groups endowed with bi-invariant metrics. We say that $\Gamma$ is $\mathscr{C}$-stable if every $\varepsilon$-homomorphism $\Gamma \rightarrow G$, $(G,d) \in \mathscr{C}$, is $\delta_\varepsilon$-close to a homomorphism, $\delta_\varepsilon\to 0$ when $\varepsilon\to 0$. If $\delta_\varepsilon < C \varepsilon$ for some $C$ we say that $\Gamma$ is $ \mathscr{C} $-stable with a linear rate. We say that $\Gamma$ has the property of defect diminishing if any asymptotic homomorphism can be changed a little to make errors essentially better. We show that the defect diminishing is equivalent to the stability with a linear rate.
On two questions of Nicholson
Authors: SIDDIQUE Feroz
Published: January 2022

We show that a ring $R$ has stable range one if and only if every
left unit lifts modulo every left principal ideal. We also show
that a left quasi-morphic ring has stable range one if and only if
it is left uniquely generated. Thus we answer in the affirmative
the two questions raised by W. K. Nicholson.
On $+\infty$-$\omega_0$-generated field extensions
Authors: FLIOUET El Hassane
Published: January 2022

A purely inseparable field extension $K$ of a field $k$ of characteristic $p\not=0$ is said to be $\omega_0$-generated
over $k$ if $K/k$ is not finitely generated, but $L/k$ is finitely generated for each proper intermediate field $L$.
In 1986, Deveney solved the question posed by R. Gilmer and W. Heinzer, which consists in knowing if the lattice of intermediate fields of an $\omega_0$-generated field extension $K/k$ is necessarily linearly ordered under inclusion, by constructing an example of an $\omega_0$-generated field extension where $[k^{p^{-n}}\cap K: k]= p^{2n}$ for all positive integer $n$. This example has proved to be extremely useful in the construction of other examples of $\omega_0$-generated field extensions (of any finite irrationality degree).
In this paper, we characterize the extensions of finite irrationality degree which are $\omega_0$-generated.
In particular, in the case of unbounded irrationality degree, any modular extension of unbounded exponent contains a proper subfield of unbounded exponent over the ground field.
Finally, we give a generalization, illustrated by an example, of the $\omega_0$-generated to include modular purely inseparable extensions of unbounded irrationality degree.
The hom-associative Weyl algebras in prime characteristic
Authors: BACK Per , RICHTER Johan
Published: January 2022

We introduce the first hom-associative Weyl algebras over a field of prime characteristic as a generalization of the first associative Weyl algebra in prime characteristic. First, we study properties of hom-associative algebras constructed from associative algebras by a general ``twisting'' procedure. Then, with the help of these results, we determine the commuter, center, nuclei, and set of derivations of the first hom-associative Weyl algebras. We also classify them up to isomorphism, and show, among other things, that all nonzero endomorphisms on them are injective, but not surjective. Last, we show that they can be described as a multi-parameter formal hom-associative deformation of the first associative Weyl algebra, and that this deformation induces a multi-parameter formal hom-Lie deformation of the corresponding Lie algebra, when using the commutator as bracket.

Domestic and Foreign Transmission of the Global Financial Crisis in the Real Economy. The Polish Situation
Authors:   Department of Finance, Bucharest University of Economic Studies, Bucharest, Romania, Tilica Elena Valentina
Published: January 2022

This paper studies the contagion process of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis through several important Polish economic sectors: chemical, construction, food, IT, media, oil & gas and telecommunication. The results show a signiÖcant di§erence between the response of these sectors to the crisis. Chemical, construction, media and oil and gas were a§ected, in di§erent degrees, by a domestic Önancial contagion. The food industry was ináuenced in a negligible degree by contagion, while the IT and telecommunication sectors showed a decrease of their co-movements with the Önancial sector, both foreign and domestic.

The access to the Önancial services and digital financial services in India has not yet transformed into their frequent use. Therefore, the present paper provides a comparative analysis of the individual level determinants for few main indicators of the two main dimen- sions of Önancial inclusion and digital Önancial inclusion: access and use, based on binary probit regression analysis using World Bankís 2017 Global Findex data. The paper concludes that education and workforce participation are positively associated with the access to Ö- nancial services and digital financial services and also with the use of most of the financial services and digital financial services. Another interesting result is that being a woman and poor reduces the probability of using mobile banking but do not a§ect traditional banking.

The Indian Manufacturing sector lags behind in contributing to economic devel- opment, as compared to its peer nations and therefore, to boost the sectorís contribution to the economy and to transform the economy into a cashless economy, the government of India had announced three major steps, Make in India, Demonetization and GST. In the present study using event study methodology, the immediate impact of the announcements on the stock of the companies from the Indian Manufacturing sector is examined and found that the announcement of the Make in India positively ináuenced the security returns. In contrast, negative impact on the security prices is witnessed on the announcement of Demonetization, whereas the GST implementation has no impact.
Muslim Coins as a Commodity and Means of Payment in International and Internal Trade In Volga-Ural Region In 8th- Beginning of 11th cc
Authors:   Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Valeev Rafael M. , Zeleneev Yuri A. ,   Mari State University
Published: January 2022

The article examines the spread of Muslim Kufic coins in Eastern, Western and Northern Europe, on the territory of Volga Bulgaria, Ancient Rus, the neighbours of Bulgars – ancestors of the Mari, Udmurt, Mordva and other Finno-Ugric ethnicities during the early Middle Ages in the 8th – beginning of the 11th centuries. The research of these coins shows the list of countries and Muslim dynasties the above-mentioned countries had trade relations with and their chronological framework. Coins of Umayyads, Abbasids, Samanids, Buwayhids, Ziyarids, Qarakhanids and other Muslim dynasties were discovered. Ways of Kufic dirhems expansion and their chronological framework are shown. The main role of Khazar Khanate is marked for the time span of 8th – 9th centuries whereas since X century the principal part was played by Volga Bulgaria. American numismatist T. Noonan designated them as Khazar and Bulgar phases of trade of Kufic coins. Bulgar coins, minted in 902–990-s, participated actively in this process. Together they acted as a commodity and medium of exchange, which reflected the scale of trade operations of the early Middle Ages. The study of Muslim Kufic dirhems allowed the author to clear up the role of Khazar Khanate and Volga Bulgaria in the functioning of Great Silk and Volga routes in the 8th – beginning of the 11th centuries.

The article describes the results of investigations of the sub-recent assemblages of silica phytoliths in top soils of various modern plant communities of the Middle Volga region in Tatarstan, Samarskaya and Ulyanovskaya oblasts conducted in 2017–2020. Counts of various phytolith morphotypes from 40 samples suggest a relatively low level of vegetation community specificity as revealed by multivariate statistical analyses. Nevertheless, coniferous and mixed forests can be distinguished based on the presence of a suite of conifer phytoliths, while steppes can be identified based on high proportion of rondels. Deciduous forests of the region can be detected based on high proportion of straight elongates and acutous bulbosus (trichome) type. Some matchings are made to 10 archaeological samples from various strata and ages across the region. Such samples reveal high proportion of cultured grass phytoliths and are most similar to steppes or agricultural assemblages in the modern dataset.

The article presents the typological characteristics of the nomadic burials of the Golden Horde, interpreted as Muslim. The burial grounds located in the depths of the Steppe at a distance from the urban centers of the Golden Horde were taken as a source base. This approach allows the authors to consider the genesis and evolution of the Islamic funeral rite among nomads without taking into account the influence of urban Islam on this process or through the prism of its minimal impact. On the example of the Linevsky burial mound in the Southern Cis-Urals, it is shown that the signs of the Islamic rite, characteristic of urban and suburban burial grounds, are present among the nomads, but mainly in the form of separate reminiscences.

Published: January 2022

In this work, the performance of single-mode optical fibers (SMFs) for ultraviolet (UV) radiation monitoring and dosimetry applications is presented. In particular, this work will focus on the Radiation-Induced Absorption (RIA) phenomena in the Near-Infrared domain (NIR). Such phenomena play a very important role in the sensing mechanism for SMF. Single mode fibers with a diameter of 50 µm were used for this purpose. These fibers were dipped into germanium (Ge) solution with different concentrations (1, 3, and 5 wt%) to produce the sensing part of the sensor. For all optical fiber sensors under investigation, the results indicated the dependence of the RIA on the applied UV radiation energy. Also, a redshift in peak wavelength was obtained. The influence of Ge concentration on sensing efficiency was studied and the best results were obtained with 3 wt% concentration as compared to 1 wt % and 5 wt % concentrations. The presented sensor shows good sensitivity to UV radiation which makes it possible to be applied in medical applications.

Immunopathogenesis of inflammatory and dystrophic diseases of the tissues of the oral cavity is characterized by cellular and humoral factors of specific and nonspecific resistance, the functioning of which is determined by the overall somatic state.

This study aimed to study the features of protective mechanisms of the oral cavity due to orthodontic pathology, pathology of periodontal tissues, and odontogenic inflammatory process in children with diffuse nontoxic goiter.

Eighty children with diffuse nontoxic goiter aged 12-15 years with different dental status were examined. Evaluation of local immunity of the oral cavity was carried out by determining the content of sIgA, IgA, IgG, lysozyme activity, and levels of IL-1β, IL-4 by enzyme immunoassay.

Immunological studies have shown that in children with diffuse nontoxic goiter, the activity of lysozyme in the oral fluid is decreased.

The level of sIgА is also reduced by about 20%. Besides, there is an increase in the content of IgG and a growing trend in the level of IgА. The content of IL-1β and IL-4 in such children fluctuates more compared to somatically healthy children.

In conclusion, a violation of the local protective mechanisms of the oral cavity is observed in children with diffuse nontoxic goiter. Also, the increase in the severity of dental pathology leads to increased tension of local protective and compensatory reactions.
Interpretation of symbols of female destiny in the novel “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes” by G. Yakhina
Authors: Iakovleva Elena
Published: January 2022

Many aspects of the life of Tatar women of the past remain obscure for others, which is substantiated by the tradition. This prompts the study of the topic in the genre of literary realism. Analysis is conducted on the fate of Tatar woman in the novel “Zuleikha Opens Her Eyes” by G. Yakhina. The hermeneutical method reveals the key symbols of life of the woman, which reveal what is hidden. Such symbols as coffer, kiln, baby cradle, bird, son, honey embody the feminine principle and have national roots. The symbol of train resembles the progress and new foundations of existence, which partially disclose the hidden aspects of the life of Tatar women. Social changes affected the fate of Tatar women, giving an opportunity for self-realization and attainment of happiness. The novelty of this research lies in the analysis of the hidden in the life of Tatar women, dynamics of its evolution in the context of shift in sociocultural dominants caused by historical development. The acquired conclusions can be valuable in reconstruction of the fate of Tatar women of the XIX – XX centuries, determination of the finest nuances and details unknown to others, as well as restoration of the cultural-historical picture of their everyday practices. The interpretation of fate of the heroine of the novel through symbols allows applying a similar method to the analysis of other literary works dedicates to the female theme in culture.

“We Yearn for the Sun Like a Baby Yearns for Its Mother's Milk”: An Ecocritical Reading of Iraqi Literature of Exiles
Authors: Peled-Shapira Hilla
Published: January 2022

Ghaʾib Ṭuʿma Farmān’s novel al-Murtajā wa-l-muʾajjal (The Yearned for and the Postponed, 1986) depicts the lives of Iraqi exiles in Russia. By using a new ecocritical analytical approach – a combination of Georg Lukács’s theory (1974) regarding the connection between longing and form, Mas‛ud Hamdan’s description of art as a means of expressing the complexities of human life (2009), and Theodor Adorno’s view of exile as a mutilating experience (2000) – this article aims to explore how Farmān uses ecological landscapes to reflect the exilic experience. The analysis, coupling environmental studies with migration studies and contributing to both, shows that not only is this novel as relevant to the depiction of current-day exile as it was at the time when it was published, but that through it, Farmān informs the existing knowledge of historical events by artistically documenting horrific chapters in Iraqi political history from the victims’ point of view, in a way that transcends the scope of the abovementioned theories.
Implementation of Gender Policies by the Private Sector in the UAE: Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Fardan Mashael Al , Marochi Belisa
Published: January 2022

The United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s “Vision 2021” set a deadline for the country to become one of the top 25 countries in the area of gender equality by the end of that year, with the government launching a gender balance program to achieve this goal. However, the private sector faces challenges in the implementation of these national gender policies. Even with country’s multinational entities leading the way for gender equality in the private sector, implementing the new gender policy is challenging. This study demonstrates the ways in which cooperation between private sector entities and the government is often dysfunctional. Testimony from 10 interviews with professionals in UAE-based companies suggests that businesses face problems implementing gender-balancing policies due to a lack of transparency, reporting, and accurate data on gender issues within both the private and the public sectors. The study concludes that businesses require greater guidance and more transparent measures to be able to advance gender equality issues in the UAE.
אמונה, טהרה וקיום מצוות: שלושת הרבדים של המושג פִטרַה בספרות החַדִית' הסונית
Authors: Carmeli Yehonatan
Published: January 2022

In early Islamic literature, the concept of fitra (creation) reflected a vague meaning regarding innate human state. Scholars have generally focused on the perception of fitra as a mental state, and only a few have addressed its physical dimension. This article explores the ancient Sunni Hadith traditions involving fitra and argues that they reflect three different perceptions of fitra: a state of faith (mental state of nature), a physical state, and a behavioral state. Additionally, this essay discusses the possible connection between fitra traditions and prayer, and proposes that central fitra tradition may be based on a Talmudic tradition. Furthermore, it analyzes how traditions quoted by the Hanbali scholar al-Khalal reshaped the perception of fitra as a state of faith in accordance with the predestination doctrine.

Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor that has shown efficacy in the treatment of newly diagnosed multiple myeloma. The VTD (Bortezomib, Thalidomide, Dexamethasone) triplet chemotherapy regime is frequently used as induction prior to autologous stem cell transplant, in line with national and international recommendations. The manufacturer’s protocol for Bortezomib recommend a twice weekly dosing schedule. Adverse effects are common, most notably peripheral and autonomic neuropathy. These adverse effects can be disabling, even at lower grades and often limit drug tolerance. We propose a once weekly Bortezomib treatment regime as an alternate modus operandi. Here we use real-world data to demonstrate that weekly compared to bi-weekly Bortezomib is better tolerated whilst achieving similar outcomes in terms of initial therapeutic response. We demonstrate a trend of lower incidence of neuropathy- both peripheral and autonomic- with the weekly regime. There was also a trend of fewer serious adverse events with the weekly regime with lower rates of hospital admissions due to infections. In addition, we show that this regime is associated with better Thalidomide tolerance. We believe that delivery of Bortezomib through a weekly regime facilitates patients being able to maintain on Bortezomib longer and receive higher cumulative doses.
Comparison of Subthalamic Nucleus and Globus Pallidus Deep Brain Stimulation in Parkinson’s Disease: A Systematic Review
Authors:   Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran, H Azari
Published: January 2022

Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is regarded as a viable therapeutic choice for Parkinson’s Disease (PD). The two most common sites for DBS are the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) and Globus Pallidus (GPi). In this study, the clinical effectiveness of these two targets was compared. Methods: A systematic literature search in electronic databases were restricted to English language publications 2010 to 2021. Specified MeSH terms were searched in all databases. Studies that evaluated the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) III were selected by meeting the following criteria: (1) had at least three months follow-up period; (2) compared both GPi and STN DBS; (3) at least five participants in each group; (4) conducted after 2010. Study quality assessment was performed using the Modified Jadad Scale. Results: 3577 potentially relevant articles were identified 3569 were excluded based on title and abstract, duplicate and unsuitable article removal. Eight articles satisfied the inclusion criteria and were scrutinized (458 PD patients). Majority of studies reported no statistically significant between-group difference for improvements in UPDRS III scores. Conclusions: Although there were some results in terms of action tremor, rigidity, and urinary symptoms, which indicated that STN DBS might be a better choice or regarding the adverse effects, GPi seemed better; but it cannot be concluded that one target is superior. Other larger randomized clinical trials with longer follow-up periods and control groups are needed to decide which target is more efficient for stimulation and imposes fewer adverse effects on the patients.

Published: January 2022

El trabajo se desarrolló teniendo  en cuenta  la gran importancia  que implica  la protección del medio ambiente y en particular  el tratamiento  de las aguas industriales   contaminadas  con metales pesados, los cuales representan un gran peligro para la salud. El empleo de  la arcilla modificada  como adsorbente efectivo  para la remoción de metales pesados, plomo,  zinc, cobre   y  hierro. El proceso de adsorción se realizó a escala batch tomando en consideración  las variables como  concentración de metal a adsorber,  tiempo de adsorción, cantidad de adsorbente. Se encontró que las arcillas modificadas son efectivas removiendo entre el 82,00  98,98 % de iones  plomo  de soluciones con concentraciones iniciales de 10 mg/L de plomo, también se comprobó que hay una buena adsorción de hierro y en menor medida la adsorción de zinc, con concentraciones iniciales de 10 mg/L de cada metal. Con estas experiencias se comprobó que las arcillas sometidas a un tratamiento termoácido  mejoran sus características  estructurales y texturales  que se hacen adecuadas para la adsorción de metales, en este caso plomo, zinc, cobre  y fierro.

La investigación tuvo el propósito de contribuir en mejorar la producción de textos de los niños del segundo grado de Primaria del Centro Educativo de Menores N° 30225 “La Alborada” de El Tambo, Huancayo, a través de la técnica del origami. La producción de textos contribuye a la formación del pensamiento organizado, para la comunicación y apoyo a la construcción del conocimiento del niño del segundo grado de educación primaria. Un niño que no produce textos tendrá dificultades en su aprendizaje posterior; no podrá comunicar sus ideas, intereses, necesidades, sentimientos, etc. La investigación fue cuasiexperimental de: “dos grupos no equivalentes con preprueba y postprueba”. La muestra fue de carácter intencional; constituido por 46 niños del segundo grado. La sección A con 23 niños conformó el grupo control y la sección B con 23 niños, el grupo experimental. Se concluyó que la aplicación de la técnica del origami muestra alto grado de eficacia en la producción de textos en niños del segundo grado de primaria; debido a que la chi calculada es mayor que la chi de tabla (32,124 > 5,991).

Para ello se realizó tres evaluaciones de 2, 3 y 5 % de concentración de soda. Según los resultados, la concentración del 5 % por un espacio de 6 minutos, fue la óptima para el fruto de la carambola. La diferencia entre el pelado químico y el pelado manual  es el tiempo y la homogeneidad.
DETECCIÓN DE HONGOS TOXIGÉNICOS EN LA CADENA PRODUCTIVA DE LA MACA (Lepidium meyenii Walp)
Authors: Yábar Villanueva Emilio Fredy , Reyes De la Cruz Vilma Julia
Published: January 2022

Los principales géneros de hongos potencialmente toxigénicos en la cadena productiva de la maca son el Fusarium, Penicillium, Aspergillus y Rhizopus, el primero procedente del campo y los restantes durante su manipulación poscosecha. La humedad de la maca fresca, es precursor de su presencia en la cadena productiva. La humedad en las harinas de maca cruda, gelatinizada y precocida inhiben su crecimiento sin embargo los tratamientos tecnológicos no garantizan su ausencia en el producto. Los azúcares reductores en la maca y derivados son el principal sustrato y el pH en ellos es óptimo para el crecimiento de los hongos.

LA TESIS UNIVERSITARIA
Authors: Ishiyama Cervantes Raúl
Published: January 2022

El desarrollo de la tesis universitaria debe ser un proceso sencillo, atractivo y ameno para estimular al joven hacia la investigación. No debe ser complicado, engorroso ni frustrante. Sus resultados deben ser publicados en revistas especializadas. En nuestro país anualmente se realizan numerosos eventos científicos como congresos, foros, seminarios, encuentros y otros, la mayoría de los investigadores se contentan con trasmitir sus resultados en forma oral, pocos son los que publican para que lo utilicen otros especialistas. La universidad es la encargada de formar a los futuros investigadores con el ejemplo de sus profesores. La tesis para la mayoría de los jóvenes es el inicio de la investigación científica. Cada universidad  es autónoma, cada facultad cuenta con su propio reglamento y cada asesor con su propio método de como orientar la investigación, no hay uniformidad. El egresado que desea ser investigador iniciándose con la tesis debe superar una serie de dificultades. ¿Cuál es la utilidad de la tesis, aparte de permitir al graduando acceder a un grado académico, después de haber trabajado durante meses a veces años, con sacrificio económico, de esfuerzo y de tiempo? La mayoría se guardan en las bibliotecas.
LA MUJER EN EL COMERCIO INFORMAL EN LA CIUDAD DE HUANCAYO
Authors: Tello Yance Filoter
Published: January 2022

Actualmente en la ciudad de Huancayo se viene incrementando la participación de la mujer en el comercio informal. Este fenómeno social ha originado tugurios en las calles de mayor movimiento comercial. Del 100 % de comerciantes informales, el 90%  de comerciantes son mujeres y sólo el 10 %  varones. Una de las causas del comercio informal es la pobreza, falta de empleo, los bajos ingresos y la sobrecarga tributaria, que  no les permite formalizarse y acceder a un establecimiento fijo con las condiciones adecuadas en lugar apropiado La inserción  de la mujer  en este sector es para aportar  a la economía familiar cuando el ingreso del jefe de familia es insuficiente, o para mantener a la familia cuando es el único sostén. El ingreso que obtienen es menos del salario mínimo vital. Estas mujeres trabajan en las calles  en condiciones infrahumanas a falta de un lugar adecuado. Cuentan generalmente con un capital de 50 a 350 nuevos soles,  es una ocupación sólo para la subsistencia familiar. La mayoría de las mujeres ambulantes tienen una carga de deudas .Ninguna institución se interesa por el bienestar de este grupo social. Trabajan en condiciones de exclusión y marginación social. Carecen de apoyo crediticio que otorgan las entidades financieras El nivel de educación de estas mujeres es de primaria y  de secundaria completo.  Los problemas de las mujeres informales están asociados a la, ausencia de un lugar adecuado, competencia entre las vendedoras, bajos ingresos, abuso de los policías municipales, las trabas fiscales y administrativas.
REGENERACIÓN NATURAL DE Myroxylum balsamun (L) HARMS (ESTORAQUE) EN BOSQUES INTERVENIDOS, SATIPO
Authors: Caballero Salas Rubén Gelacio , Hurtado León Moisés Wilfredo
Published: January 2022

El trabajo de investigación se realizó mediante muestreo en dos tipos de bosques de producción forestal, colina alta y baja,  ubicadas en las Comunidades Nativas de Gloriabamba y Chamiriari, en la Provincia de Satipo; Región Junín - Perú. Desde hace tres años, en la selva alta, la extracción de la especie,  Myroxylum balsamun (L) Harms, conocida como “Estoraque” o “Quina quina”,  se ha incrementado en forma selectiva y descontrolada. Ante esta problemática fue imprescindible la necesidad de conocer la capacidad de regeneración natural para contribuir con la reposición forestal, evitar la extinción de la especie y  efectos lamentables como sucedió con la especie Aniba roseadera,  que llegó a desaparecer el material reproductivo y por ende el peligro de extinción. Los objetivos fueron, evaluar la capacidad de regeneración natural luego de la diseminación de semillas hasta la categoría latizal como base de tratamientos silviculturales, comparar los parámetros dasométricos y determinar la cantidad de regeneración por categorías; se llegó a los resultados siguientes: para el tipo de bosque colina alta ubicado sobre los 700 msnm, la  regeneración natural es nula. Para los bosques de colina baja, ubicado entre 450 a 550 msnm, la regeneración natural es de 183 plántulas/ha para el sector de Chamiriari y de 400 plántulas/ha para el sector de Gloriabamba de la categoría brinzal; 100 plantas/ha de la categoría latizal para ambas zonas.
