ANÁLISE DA PERCEPÇÃO DE DOCENTES E DISCENTES DE UMA IES FEDERAL SOBRE A EDUCAÇÃO POR COMPETÊNCIAS E METODOLOGIAS ATIVAS POR MEIO DE ANÁLISE FATORIAL
Authors: Alves Nadson Jaime Ferreira , Moreira Marcia Athayde , Costa Fábio Heleno Mourão da
Published: May 2023

A educação por competências, aliada ao uso de metodologias ativas, propõe nova dinâmica no processo de formação profissional, que desenraiza o conceito de ensino-aprendizagem tradicional focado no docente, pauta recorrente nas discussões que envolvem núcleos de análise de proposições e atualizações de projetos pedagógicos de cursos de ciências contábeis no Brasil. Dessa forma, este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a percepção de docentes e discentes acerca da importância e do uso de educação por competências e metodologias ativas. Foi realizada  pesquisa exploratória, por meio de análise fatorial, para associar variáveis que denotam tal percepção. Foi aplicado um questionário por meio de survey à 24 docentes e 206 discentes do curso de ciências contábeis de uma universidade pública federal. Os resultados evidenciaram a construção de seis conceitos, a partir da extração dos fatores do conjunto de itens avaliados: (PA1) Aulas dinâmicas com solução de problemas práticos; (PA2) O lúdico no desenvolvimento de competências; (PA3) Boas práticas do professor dedicado; (PA4) Ranço das metodologias passivas; (PA5) Diversificação da avaliação; e (PA6) Plano de ensino eficiente. Os resultados evidenciaram que, com exceção do fator (PA4), que envolve hábitos arraigados, todos os outros fatores são compatíveis com as bases teóricas que preconizam o processo de ensino-aprendizagem, podem contribuir para uma sólida formação baseada no conhecimento, na ciência e nas tecnologias. Isso indica se tratar de um ambiente favorável para construção do novo projeto pedagógico do curso, o que, por sua vez, estaria em sintonia com preceitos propostos nas novas diretrizes curriculares para ciências contábeis.
A FORMAÇÃO ÉTICA NA FILOSOFIA PRÁTICA DE IMMANUEL KANT: COMPREENSÃO E IMPLICAÇÕES À PROFISSÃO DOCENTE
Authors: Andrade Renata Cristina Lopes
Published: May 2023

O presente artigo, de caráter bibliográfico, traz a compreensão e reflexão teórica-filosófica de conceitos e de princípios do pensamento Ético, Pedagógico e Educacional de Immanuel Kant (1724-1804), um dos grandes pensadores do Iluminismo e do Idealismo Alemão. Enquanto base de nossas reflexões aqui apresentadas está a questão: como é possível, segundo Kant, o desenvolvimento de um ser humano moral e ético, capaz de se mover, agir e querer viver segundo valores e princípios morais? Analisar, compreender e refletir acerca dessa questão, além de contemplar uma ação educativa que considere o educando em suas diferentes dimensões, não reduzindo ou definindo o ser humano somente por sua capacidade cognitiva ou técnica, por suas habilidades e competências, pode auxiliar no entendimento de uma profissão docente verdadeiramente formativa, a partir de caminhos, horizontes e alternativas para pensarmos e re-pensarmos os possíveis movimentos da ação educacional e ética.
Análisis del entorno socioeducativo del Pueblo Gitano y de la escolarización en Educación Infantil. posible relación con el éxito escolar
Authors: Marín Silva Carmen
Published: May 2023

La finalidad de esta investigación fue analizar la influencia en el éxito escolar, el entorno social y educativo en el que se desarrolla la infancia gitana. En la actualidad, existen centros educativos en los que se concentra alumnado Rrom, y los cuales se identifican por tener un alto índice de absentismo y fracaso escolar. Ante esta realidad, surge la necesidad de averiguar si realmente ese es el principal motivo por el que el Pueblo Calé no finaliza la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y, por ende, no accede a estudios postobligatorios. Para llevar a cabo el trabajo, la investigación se centró en dos tipos de muestras dentro del Pueblo Gitano; por un lado, participantes que han residido y han pasado la escolarización en la Zona Norte de Alicante y, por otro lado, personas que han estudiado fuera de Barrios catalogados de Acción Preferente. Posteriormente, y de manera complementaria, se organizó un Grupo de Discusión con profesionales socioeducativos que trabajan en la actualidad con alumnado de la Zona Norte de Alicante, conociendo así, de primera mano, la realidad que se vive en ese entorno desde otra perspectiva. Una vez analizados los resultados, se llega a la conclusión de que sí influye el entorno socioeducativo del Pueblo Calé en el éxito académico, y que una de las herramientas más importantes para favorecer a este éxito escolar, es instaurar bases en la Educación Infantil.
A koronavírus-járvány hatása Kína megítélésére Közép-Európában. Hasonlóságok és különbségek a visegrádi országokban
Authors: Matura Tamás , Szunomár Ágnes
Published: May 2023

A Nyugat és Kína között húzódó politikai és gazdasági törésvonalat minden korábbinál jobban elmélyítette a koronavírus-járvány. Azonban míg a nagypolitika és a gazdasági kapcsolatok kevésbé hatottak az európaiak Kínáról kialakított véleményére, addig a pandémia a társadalom minden szegmensét érintette, és komoly indulatokat váltott ki Pekinggel szemben. Az Európai Unió közvéleményének esetleges Kína-ellenes fordulata megnehezítheti a két gazdasági óriás közötti együttműködést, míg a geopolitikai feszültségek növekedése gyengítheti mindkét fél nemzetközi kapcsolatait. Ezért fontos megismerni e hangulatváltozás jellegét, mértékét és okait.
Tanulmányunk alapját egy reprezentatív nemzetközi közvélemény-kutatás adja, mely az Európai Unió tíz tagállama mellett Szerbiára és Oroszországra is kiterjedt, és országonként 1 500 válaszadóval, több mint 350 elemből álló kérdőív felhasználásával készült. Jelen tanulmány célja, hogy az említett közvélemény-kutatás során vizsgált európai országok közül a Visegrádi Négyek eredményeit kiemelve képet adjon a Kínával kapcsolatos véleményekről, illetve azokról a változókról, amelyek megmagyarázhatják a közhangulat alakulását. Eredményeink azt mutatják, hogy nincs olyan közös „visegrádi” változó, mely jelentősen befolyásolná a Kínáról kialakult képet. Igaz, az egyes országokban külön-külön felfedezhetők bizonyos jellemzők egy-két változó kapcsán, de ezek egyik esetben sem markánsak, illetve regionális összevetésben egymásnak ellentmondó eredményekkel is találkozhatunk.

Published: May 2023

In the literature, interest in automatic control systems that do not require human intervention and perform at the desired level increases day by day. In this study, a Twin Delay Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3), a reinforcement learning algorithm, automatically controls a DC motor system. A reinforcement learning method is an approach that learns what should be done to reach the goal and observes the results that come out with the interaction of both itself and the environment. The proposed method aims to adjust the voltage value applied to the input of the DC motor in order to reach output with single input and single output structure to the desired speed.
Estimation of Extrusion Process Parameters in Tire Manufacturing Industry using Random Forest Classifier
Authors: AKIRMAK Osman Onur , ALTAN Aytaç
Published: May 2023

The extrusion process is a very complex process due to the number of process parameters involved. Throughout the workflow process, the process parameters are determined by trial-and-error method according to the recipe of materials. This technique causes loss of production and time as well as energy consumption. In extrusion, temperature and speed parameters are very important to obtain a homogeneous raw material product input and high-quality extruded products. It is necessary to monitor the temperature changes and process speed control during the flow of the molten raw material between the barrels of the extruder machine, which is the extrusion equipment. By monitoring the extruder in real time, estimating the extrusion process parameters according to the amount of product to be produced will make the extrusion process operations more efficient. In this study, a classification algorithm to process these parameters is developed in the “Pycharm” environment and the model is trained with the supervised learning method using the image processing algorithm outputs. The model is able to estimate the extruder 'speed and temperature parameters' and the 'ready to run' decision of the machine with 93% success for different production quantities entered by the operator.

National natural parks are part of the nature reserve fund, the activities of which are limited and regulated, but certain types of tourism and recreation services are possible on their territory. National natural parks of Ukraine, located in the coastal area, can offer a wide range of tourist and recreational services, and taking into account access to the sea and the presence of beaches, they have some advantages compared to many other natural parks of Ukraine located on land. The purpose of the study was to analyze the tourist and recreational potential of coastal and marine national natural parks of Ukraine. National natural parks with access to the sea became the object of the study, and the subject - tourist and recreational activities within their borders. The study of the given problem highlights the factors of tourism development and the regulation of tourist and recreational activities within the national natural parks of Ukraine
The Legal Nature of Data and Information in the Context of the Concept of «Independent Materials»
Authors: Bazarov A. A.
Published: May 2023

The paper is devoted to the study of civil law norms and judicial practice in relation to the regulation of the content of data arrays as one of the significant information assets in the context of the development of the digital economy. The paper reveals the legal nature of data and information, as well as the possibility of their qualification as independent materials. The conclusion is made about insufficient effectiveness of the mechanisms of legal regulation arising in connection with the circulation and protection of databases of civil legal relations due to definitive problems, namely the lack of definition of the concept of «independent materials,» as well as due to the lack of legal differentiation between data and information. In the process of a comprehensive study of the technical features of the concepts of «data» and «information» that form the basis for the formation of their legal nature, a reasonable conclusion is made about the need for a connection between the concept of «independent data» and information. The authors propose the criteria and mechanisms for distinguishing data and information.
Compensatory Mechanism in Constitutional Justice: Problems of Legal Regulation and Practical Application
Authors: Zaykov D. E.
Published: May 2023

One of the goals of the activities of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation is to protect the rights and freedoms of man and citizen by recognizing as unconstitutional the norms applied in a particular case. Restoration of violated rights is carried out by reviewing the relevant case. At the same time, in some cases, due to the specifics of the relevant relations, when the review of the case was impossible or could not lead to the restoration of the violated rights of the applicant, it was not possible to compensate for the negative consequences of the violation of his rights. This circumstance made it impossible to fully ensure the completeness and effectiveness of constitutional proceedings. The introduction of the institute of compensatory mechanisms was aimed at solving this problem. However, sparing legal regulation, its ambiguous interpretation and various application in practice had a negative impact not only on the effectiveness, but also on the very applicability of this legal institution. Having analyzed both the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and the rulings of general jurisdiction courts, the author considers the above problems as well as the reasons for their occurrence and proposes some ways to resolve them.
Areas for Public Functions Implementation by Artificial Intelligence in Russia and the World
Authors: Atabekov A. R.
Published: May 2023

The paper examines the phenomenon of the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the field of public relations in foreign countries. It also touches upon the main problems in the legal field in terms of deploying the system, concerning both ensuring the transparency of decision-making and the non-discriminatory nature of the ongoing algorithmic data processing, and its use in in relation to the supervised segment based on the principles of predictive prosecution and the provision of a proactive set of public services to citizens. The effectiveness of technology integration into the sphere of public legal relations and the accuracy of the proposed solutions in a selection of various application segments in the context of sub-branches of administrative law are considered. According to the author, in order to implement the constructions of AI integration into the public sphere proposed in the paper, it is already necessary to determine the main levels of AI access to information in the framework of control and supervisory activities. These include finding identifying features for AI developers for the purposes of authorities with the provision of extended preferences and sanctions, taking into account scale effect of legal relations, determination of experimental regimes for a number of legal relations in order to test AI in the context of granting rights and implementing a system of administrative oversight and prosecution.
Major earthquakes in Mexicali Valley, Mexico, and fluid extraction at Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field
Authors: Glowacka E. , Nava F. A.
Published: May 2023

Episodes of increased seismic moment release around the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field (CPGF) show a significant correlation with three large increases of sustained fluid extraction, with delays of about 1 yr. Increased seismic activity involves three large strike-slip earthquakes: Imperial Valley (ML = 6.6, 15 October 1979) and Victoria (ML = 6.1, 9 June 1980), which occurred after a production increase in 1979, and Cerro Prieto (ML = 5.4, 7 February 1987), which occurred after another production increase in 1986.

The probabilities of the observed correlation between production increase and increased seismic activity occurring by chance (for binomial or Poisson seismicity distributions) are rather small, although their significance is not very large due to the small number of data. High probability of triggering by fluid extraction at times of high probability of earthquake occurrence from tectonic loading suggests a possible connection between production and occurrence of ML ≧ 5.4 earthquakes near CPGF.

The strong earthquakes occurred at distances from CPGF within ranges over which induced seismicity has been observed for other engineering activities worldwide. Seismic diffusivity, calculated from their hypocentral distances and delay times from production increases, are in good agreement with values estimated worldwide for reservoirs, and estimated pressure changes at the earthquake sites, induced by production in CPGF, can be large enough for triggering.

The observed time correlation, plus supporting statistical and spatio-temporal observations, although not conclusive, suggest the possibility of large tectonic earthquake triggering by extraction activity at the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field. This possibility should be considered for estimation of seismic hazard and earthquake prediction in the Mexicali-Imperial Valley region.
A radial model of anelasticity consistent with long-period surface-wave attenuation
Authors: Durek Joseph J. , Ekström Göran
Published: May 2023

A new global model of radial variations in intrinsic shear and compressional attenuation, Qμ(r) and Qκ(r), is presented. The model, called QL6, is derived from recent observations of long-period (150 < T < 300 sec) Rayleigh- and Love-wave attenuation and an extensive set of mode decay observations compiled from the literature. Our preferred model consists of six layers of constant Q, where the parameterization of Qμ(r) follows that of the anelastic component of the preliminary reference earth model (PREM). Relative to the commonly used models of PREM and QM1, lower values of Qμ are required in the upper 200 km of the mantle to explain observations of Love-wave attenuation. The observations require a finite level of compressional attenuation, preferentially located in the upper mantle. An analysis using continuous spline-basis functions supports the layered parameterization—with the recovered model possessing strong gradients in Qμ at the 670-km discontinuity; at the bottom of the asthenosphere; and to a lesser extent, at the base of the lithosphere. However, the continuous model does not have a significant discontinuity in Qμ at the 400-km phase boundary.

Arapça’nın sahip olduğu imkân ve yeteneğin büyüklüğü karşısında insanın şaşkınlığını gizlemesi mümkün değildir. Dil bilginleri bu dilin daha iyi anlaşılması için büyük çabalar sarf etmiş ve bu yönde övgüye layık birçok eser ortaya koymuştur. Sîbeveyh de Arap gramer ilmini kayıt altına almaya çalışmış, bu uğurda büyük emek sarf etmiş ve sonuçta nahivde en önemli şahsiyetlerden biri olmuştur. Onun telif ettiği eser, Arap mirasının övünç kaynaklarından biri olmuştur. Sîbeveyh, eserinde konuları tanzim ve tahlil ederken bazen varsayımsal cümleler kullanmış bazen de diyalog metodunu seçmiştir. Bu diyalog bazen Sîbeveyh ile gerçek kişiler arasında gerçekleşirken bazen de farazi kişilerle olmuştur. Bu durumda muhatabın ismini zikretmemiş, iftirâzî/varsayımsal cümleler ve sorular kullanmıştır. Bu da öğrencinin veya okuyucunun anlamadığı veya gözünde canlanmadığı bir konunun olması ihtimaline binaen onun kolay ve anlaşılır bir anlatımla dil kaidesini karşısındakine iletmeyi amaçladığına delalet etmektedir. Bu çalışmada Sîbeveyh’in varsayım metodunu kullandığı bazı yerler ve bu metodu kullanım amaçları ele alınmaya çalışılacaktır.
Abbasi Şairi Ebû Temmâm’ın Hikmet Şiirlerinde Etki Unsurları
Authors: ARSLAN Adnan
Published: May 2023

Abbasiler dönemi Arap şiiri hakkında bilgi veren tüm edebiyat tarihi kaynaklarının ismine temas etmeden geçemediği Ebû Temmâm (ö. 231/846), el-Hamâse adlı eseriyle kendisinden önceki Arap şairlerinin şiirlerinden bir seçki derlemiştir. Bu seçkide yer alan şiirlerin önemli bir kısmı şairlerin hayat tecrübeleri ve ahlaki tespitlerini içeren hikmet beyitlerinden müteşekkildir. Ebû Temmâm’ın eserinde yer verdiği hikmet şiirleri onun kasideleri içerisinde azımsanmayacak sayıda hikemî beyitler serpiştirmesinde etkili olmuştur. Kendinden önceki şairlerin ahlaka dair tespitleri ve hayata bakışlarını yansıtan düşünceleri onun şairliğinde iz bırakmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, şairin tespit ve tavsiyelerinde etki ve ikna gücünü artıran unsurlar incelemektir. Divanında yer alan hikmet beyitleri bu çerçevede taranmış ve şairin ahlak, sosyal ilişkiler, yaşlılık, insan psikolojisi, aşk vb. pek çok konuda söylediği sözlerindeki etki gücünün sacayağını oluşturan üç unsur tespit edilmiştir. Bunların, beliğ ve zımnî teşbihler ile olgular arasında kurduğu mantıksal bağlar olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın önemi, şairin hikmet beyitlerinin bu yönüyle herhangi bir akademik çalışmanın konusunu teşkil etmemesinde kendini göstermektedir.

Advanced drilling technology makes it possible to penetrate oil and gas sites with deep bedding of oil reservoir, a complex multi-layer structure and a high reservoir temperature at the well bottom, reaching 150°C. The difficult geology of oil strata leads to the fact that the productive layers of a well are flooded unevenly. In this work the causes for water cut in reservoirs are given, repair and insulation work and technologies for isolation of water-bearing intervals in the oil-producing wells considered. Grouting composites for water inflow limitation in reservoirs with low temperature (up to 100°C) and high-temperature reservoirs are studied. For water flood control in the oil and gas wells with high temperature viscoelastic composites with extended gel-time and high stable strength and adhesive properties has been proposed. The advantage of polymer-based composites is their kinetic behavior in dynamic mode, when filtering in a porous medium, which makes it possible to isolate effectively intake formations with different channel openings with a small flow rate of the mixture.

Improving Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication is essential for the development of Smart Factory as data can be exchanged and processed more efficiently. Herein this study, we employ the Deep Learning (DL) concepts aimed at improving end-to-end performance (E2E) M2M communication systems. Training the physical layers requires the explicit channel information to be fully known, which can be solved with generative adversarial network (GAN). Nonetheless, due to its deep neural network (DNN) structure, the GAN scheme is subjected to gradient vanishing and over-fitting, two major obstacles that can hinder the training process and limit the performance of the model. As a result, the system is significantly downgraded. To address these issues, we study a method known as Residual-Aided generative adversarial network (RA-GAN) learning scheme, in which the two problems are dealt with respectively by introducing a better propagation mechanism and a regularizer to the loss function. Herein this paper, the system model is described and the two problems are derived analytically. We also analyze the optimal learning scheme (where the channel-agnostic) and a Rayleigh-based learning scheme for comparison study. Through analyzing the block error rate (BLER), we can demonstrate that the RA-GAN approach achieves performance comparable to the optimal scheme, and significantly outperforms the conventional GAN method.

Authors: KANG SEUNG WON ,   Becamex Business School, Eastern International University
Published: May 2023

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between technology changes in global value chains (GVCs) and economic growth of emerging market economies (EMEs). The key findings are that EMEs have a higher economic growth rate than all countries analyzed, with the manufacturing sector being the major contributor to economic growth. Simple GVCs make a larger positive contribution than complex GVCs, while the non-GVCs component shows different patterns. The study's findings contribute to the field by providing evidence on the relationship between GVCs and economic growth in EMEs. The study's findings suggest that policymakers should focus on promoting the manufacturing sector in EMEs, particularly in medium-high and high technology industries, and adopt a balanced approach to GVC participation.

Published: May 2023

The ensemble method is considered an advanced method in both prediction and classification. The application of this method is estimated to have a more optimal output than the previous classification method. This article aims to determine the ensemble's performance to classify journal quartiles. The subject of agriculture was chosen because Indonesia is an agricultural country, and the interest of researchers in this field shows a positive response. The data is downloaded through the Scimago Journal and Country Rank with the accumulation in 2020. Labels have four classes: Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4. The ensemble applied is Boosting and Bagging with Decision Tree (DT) and Gaussian Naïve Bayes (GNB) algorithms compiled from 2144 instances. The Boosting meta-ensembles used are Adaboost and XGBoost. From this study, the Bagging Decision Tree has the highest accuracy score at 71.36, followed by XGBoost Decision Tree with 69.51. The third is XGBoost Gaussian Naïve Bayes with 68.82, Adaboost Decision Tree with 60.42, Adaboost Gaussian Naïve Bayes with 58.2, and Bagging Gaussian Naïve Bayes with 56.12 results. This paper shows that the Bagging Decision Tree is the ensemble method that works optimally in this subject classification. This result suggests that the ensemble method can still fail to produce an ideal outcome that approaches the SJR system.

Social media mining is an emerging technique for analyzing data to extract valuable knowledge related to various domains. However, traditional text matching techniques, such as exact matching, are not always suitable for social media data, which can contain spelling mistakes, abbreviations, and variations in the use of words. Fuzzy matching is a text matching technique that can handle such variations and identify similarities between two texts, even if there are differences in spelling or phrasing. The gap in existing research is the limited use of fuzzy matching in social media mining for tourism recovery analysis. By applying fuzzy matching to social media data related to COVID-19 and tourism recovery, this research seeks to bridge this gap and extract valuable insights related to the impact of the pandemic on tourism recovery. We manually retrieved 19,462 Twitter records and differentiated the data sources using four diver parameters to indicate data related to the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry, such as the economy, restrictions, government policies, and vaccination. We conducted text mining analysis on the collected 7,352 words and identified 25 highly recommended words that indicated COVID-19 recovery from a tourism perspective. We separated the four words representing the tourism perspective to perform fuzzy matching as a dataset. We then used the inbound dataset on the fuzzy matching process, with the 7,352-word data collected from the text mining process. The matching process resulted in 18 words representing COVID-19 recovery from a tourism perspective.

Published: May 2023

While submitting proposals in SISINTA, students often confuse or falsely submit their proposals to the less relevant or incorrect research group. There are 13 research groups for the students to choose from. We proposed a text classification method to help students find the best research group based on the title and/or abstract. The stages in this study include data collection, preprocessing data, classification using Logistic Regression, and evaluation of the results. Three scenarios in research group classification are based on 1) title only, 2) abstract only, and 3) title and abstract. Based on the experiments, research group classification using title-only input is the best overall.

Published: May 2023

Introducción- El impacto más crítico de las arvenses es el efecto negativo sobre las plantas cultivadas ejercido a través de la competencia por recursos limitados y las alelopatías.
Objetivo-. Caracterizar la diversidad de especies de arvenses en 60 fincas de pequeños agricultores de cinco municipios de Boyacá previstos para policultivos.
Metodología-. La investigación se desarrolló en 60 fincas de cinco municipios del Departamento: Aquitania, Belén, Garagoa, Panqueba y Soatá, en cada una se muestrearon dos parcelas de 0,5 ha donde se determinó en dos marcos de 1m2 las arvenses presentes.
Resultados-. Se observó la presencia de 109 especies de arvenses ubicadas en 93 géneros y en 38 familias botánicas, siendo las más representativas Poaceae con 18 especies, Asteraceae con 15 especies y Fabaceae con 9. Las familias Amarantaceae Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Oxalidaceae, Poligonaceae y Solanaceae estuvieron representadas por 4 especies. Las fincas se agruparon en 3 o 4 grupos en cada municipio de acuerdo a los indicadores de biodiversidad de las arvenses, mientras que los municipios formaron tres grupos. 
Conclusiones- Desde el punto de vista de su importancia agrícola las especies que con más frecuencia estuvieron presentes en los municipios fueron:  P. clandestinum, Sonchus oleraceus, Trifolium repens y Rumex crispus. En general la riqueza de especies a nivel de finca fue baja, la equidad media y la dominancia alta, mientras que a nivel municipal se apreció una alta riqueza de especies, indicadores medios de diversidad y equidad, y baja dominancia.

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar las competencias gerenciales y su influencia en la mejora continua de los establecimientos de salud de Lima en el año 2022. El tipo de investigación empleado fue básico, con diseño de análisis temático descriptivo-explicativo, y contó con la participación de 384 profesionales de la salud de Lima, de los diferentes distritos de la ciudad capital, a quienes se les aplicó un cuestionario enfocado en las variables de competencias gerenciales y su influencia en la mejora continua, siendo ambas variables validadas por expertos (ambas fueron consistentes y aplicables para los expertos) y fueron compartidas de manera virtual a través de Google Forms. Se aplicó la confiabilidad por medio del coeficiente de las dos mitades, de Guttman, y mediante la información de los datos logrados por el estadígrafo, los cuales poseen un buen nivel de fiabilidad de valor: 0.891 para la variable independiente (“competencias gerenciales”) y 0.749 para la variable dependiente (“mejora continua”). De acuerdo con los resultados se ha demostrado que la bondad de ajuste para evidenciar la influencia de una de las variables, y por medio del valor de la significancia para la bondad de ajuste según la verosimilitud, fue p = 0.000 y es menor a alfa; por lo tanto, el modelo estadístico empleado nos indica que ambas variables están asociadas, lo cual se ajusta al análisis estadístico.

La violencia de género constituye el tipo de acción que resulta, o pueda resultar, en un daño físico, sexual o psicológico en agravio de la mujer, que incluye, además, la amenaza de realizar tales acciones, la coacción o la privación de la libertad, aunque se realicen en la vida pública o privada de la mujer. Es un hecho que, a pesar del avance social, se mantiene y, más grave aún, evoluciona bajo diferentes formas y circunstancias, situación que viene atravesando la mayoría de las mujeres durante décadas por su condición de ser mujer y que, pese a los distintos movimientos sociales para erradicar la violencia, está latente y se incrementa raudamente con la pandemia de la COVID-19, que ha servido como un catalizador que genera el incremento de violencia contra la mujer. Los Estados han optado por establecer medidas para evitar la propagación de la COVID-19; por ende, al restringir ciertas actividades cotidianas, como el empleo, por ejemplo, las mujeres deben permanecer más tiempo en su hogar, generando así que la violencia se intensifique. Ante esta realidad latente, nuestro país tiene pocas soluciones para hacer frente, ya que las distintas medidas judiciales son tomadas solo para aquellos delitos graves y como último recurso, cuando, en realidad, necesita ser atendida de manera más expedita.

Background: This study was carried out to obtain the retrospective study of FNAC cases referred to NECC; and review occurrences of ortorhinolaryngological swellings and demographic studies of patients for a period of 6 years (2013-2018). Records of FNAC were obtained from the laboratory department’s unit’s register alongside the biodata of patients for demographic studies.
Methods: FNAC samples were treated for diagnosis according to the unit’s standard operating procedure for cytology. A total of three hundred and fifty-three 353 cases were reported and tables were then plotted to present the study cases using simple descriptive statistics.
Results: Highest age distribution was between thirty to thirty-nine (30-39) years with a total of ninety-five cases 95(26.9%) followed by the range of forty to forty-nine (40-49) years with a value of eighty 80(22.6%). Females had the highest frequency of one hundred and thirty-three 133 (62.3%) compared to their male patient counterpart with a value of two hundred and twenty 220 (37.6%). The site of sample collection had ANS with the highest value of eighty-one 81 (42.4%) compared to other sites. The year 2016 had the highest number of FNAC cases and finally ninety 6 cases 96 (27.2%) of cases were inflammatory, two hundred and thirty-two 232 (65.7%) were benign while twenty five 25 (7.1%) were malignant.
Conclusions: In conclusion; FNAC plays a vital role in managing otorhinolaryngology conditions and gives a way forward for effective treatment to patients and often at times is therapeutic as some patients come with fluid field swelling that get relieved after the procedure.

Background: Bangladesh is a country with a high burden of pulmonary as well as extrapulmonary tuberculosis. TBM is a particularly important public health issue in our country. Identifying prognostic predictors would improve the quality of management and ultimately will prevent long-term mortality and morbidity. The aim of the study was to observe and identify the most common clinical presentations among patients with tuberculous meningitis.
Methods: This hospital-based prospective cohort study was carried out at the in-patient Department of Clinical Neurology at the National Institute of Neurosciences and Hospital (NINS and H), Dhaka, Bangladesh from October 2016 to September 2017, 1 year. A total of 54 patients admitted to the hospital with features of tuberculous meningitis (TBM) were selected for the study following inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Over 70% of patients were adolescents or young adults with a mean age of 28.2±12.3 years. The majority (48.2%) of the participants were from TBM stage II, while 37% were from stage III of TBM. Fever, headache, and systematic symptoms were the most frequent clinical presentations. The median delay in treatment was 30 days. Interruption in anti-TB treatment was reported in 3 (9.3%) cases.
Conclusions: The study found that among possible TBM cases, the most frequent clinical features were fever, headache, and systematic symptoms. Focal neurological deficit and cerebral nerve palsy also had a high prevalence among the participants. The majority of the participants were young adults and female prevalence was high in the present study. The majority were from stage II TB among the study participants.

Published: May 2023

Background: Breast conserving surgery is the treatment of choice in the surgical management of early-stage breast cancer in developed countries, while mastectomy has remained the most practiced surgical treatment in developing countries. The aim of the study was to describe the outcomes of a cohort of patients who had breast conserving surgery in a developing country.
Methods: The study is a retrospective review of patients who were offered breast conserving surgery between January 2018 and December 2020 at the Jos University Teaching Hospital and FOMAS Hospital.
Results: A total of 110 female patients had surgery for breast cancer in the study period. Of this number, eleven (10%) patients whose ages ranged from 28-70 years with a mean age of 53.5 years (SD=12.9 years) had breast conserving surgery, while 99 (90%) had mastectomy. A painless lump on self-breast examination was the most common reason for presentation in those who had breast conserving surgery. Most of the patients who had breast conserving surgery presented with tumor stage T2N1M0. Quadrantectomy was done in 7 (63.6%) patients while 4 (36.4%) had wide local excision. No patient developed any postoperative complication. No patient required re-excision due to positive margins. Three (27.3%) patients had only adjuvant hormonal therapy. Eight (72.7%) patients had radiotherapy following surgery, while 3 (27.3%) patients had only breast conserving surgery for loco-regional control. All patients had a minimum follow up of 2 years with no recurrence or mortality.
Conclusions: Breast conserving surgery can be safely practiced as an alternative to mastectomy in carefully selected patients with early breast cancer with good outcomes.

Authors: K. A. Malarvannan , A. Sivapriya
Published: May 2023

Background: Hypertension is one of the most powerful risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This biggest health challenge has to be detected early so that preventive measures can be taken for the susceptible population. Increased cardiovascular stress responsivity with sustained isometric muscle contraction is associated with cardiovascular disease. So this isometric handgrip exercise is a simple, non-invasive screening test to assess the risk of development of hypertension in future. Aim and objective of the study was to identify the chance of inheritance of hypertension in medical students of hypertensive parents.
Methods: After getting ethical committee approval, in this cross sectional study, 50 medical students of Government Sivagangai Medical college with normotensive and hypertensive parents were selected. Heart rate (bpm) and blood pressure (mmHg) before, immediately and 5 minutes after isometric hand grip exercise using hand grip dyanamometer in both the groups.
Results: Statistical analysis of the values among the participants was done by student t-test using statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 11.0.and the results were compared between the study and control groups. A ‘p’ value of <0.05 is considered significant. Cardiovascular responses are found to be significantly higher in study group (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Early and regular screening of the students with hypertensive parents is necessary to prevent cardiovascular complications in future by emphasizing the life style modifications.
