Adaptación transcultural y validez factorial de la escala de “soledad laboral” de Wright en población mexicana
Authors: Vega Soto Carlos Arturo , Pérez Juana Patlán
Published: August 2024

Los nuevos esquemas de trabajo, como el home-office, dificultan que los trabajadores establezcan vínculos sociales sólidos, dando lugar a un sentimiento de soledad laboral que impacta tanto en su salud mental y física, como en su desempeño laboral. El objetivo de este trabajo es adaptar transculturalmente y validar la Escala de Soledad Laboral (ESL) de Wright et al. (2006) en población mexicana. Para este fin se efectuó una investigación de enfoque cuantitativo y de tipo instrumental. Se utilizó un proceso de adaptación transcultural de seis pasos para después aplicar la escala a una muestra de 729 trabajadores. Los resultados demuestran que el modelo de dos factores propuesto por la teoría fue contrastado mediante un Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (GFI=.979; AGFI=.973; CFI=.997; RMSEA=.017) corroborando un ajuste significativo de los datos al modelo, y arrojando niveles óptimos de confiabilidad (Alpha de Cronbach >.90). Se concluye que los resultados confirman la calidad psicométrica de la ESL, considerándola válida y confiable en población mexicana, para medir la soledad laboral por dos factores y 16 reactivos: F1. Soledad emocional laboral (9) y F2. Soledad social laboral (7).

Published: August 2024

La evidencia de la calidad del resultado contable en empresas pequeñas y empresas grandes que no cotizan en la bolsa de valores es escasa. En este sentido, esta investigación tiene como objetivo la medición de la calidad del resultado contable de las empresas del sector real colombiano según el marco normativo aplicado. Para esto se tomó una muestra de 77.732 observaciones empresa-año durante el periodo 2015 – 2020. La medida utilizada para determinar la calidad del resultado contable es el alisamiento del resultado, determinada mediante tres indicadores. Los resultados muestran una menor calidad del resultado contable para las empresas que informan bajo NIIF Plenas lo cual es consistente con investigaciones similares en otros países, evidenciando los incentivos para la manipulación del resultado contable en este tipo de compañías. Este articulo contribuye a la literatura contable colombiana al contrastar inferencias teóricas con resultados empíricos que invitan a repensar el concepto de interés público. Futuras investigaciones pueden enfocarse en la identificación de los determinantes de la calidad contable en las empresas privadas en Colombia y como contrastan con el contexto de las empresas que son consideradas de interés público.

Published: August 2024

Este estudio evalúa el capital intelectual (CI) en la banca privada de Ecuador y su impacto en el desempeño financiero. Utilizando datos panel de 15 bancos entre 2003 y 2021 y aplicando el modelo M-VAIC para medir el CI, se identificaron tendencias significativas. La media del M-VAIC fue 2,378, con ocho bancos superando la media sectorial. Los análisis de regresión revelan una correlación positiva entre el CI y los indicadores de Rentabilidad sobre Activos (ROA) y Rentabilidad sobre Patrimonio (ROE). A nivel de componentes, el capital físico lidera en la generación de rentabilidad, seguido del capital humano, mientras que el capital estructural tiene menor influencia. Sorprendentemente, el capital relacional muestra una correlación negativa. Estos hallazgos aportan una comprensión profunda de cómo los aspectos intangibles influyen en la rentabilidad bancaria a lo largo del tiempo. El análisis, único en su enfoque de datos panel, para el contexto ecuatoriano contribuye a la literatura sobre gestión del conocimiento y finanzas, ofreciendo percepciones valiosas para la toma de decisiones estratégicas en el sector bancario.

A self-enhancement model of impostor thoughts at work
Authors: Tang Wenlong , Zheng Xuan , Sun Rui
Published: August 2024

Workplace impostor thoughts arise from the perception that others overestimate one's competence at work. Previous research has demonstrated the negative consequences of holding impostor thoughts at work, yet theory and research suggest it is also possible to benefit from such thoughts.
Drawing on self-enhancement theory, we proposed and tested a conceptual model to account for the potentially positive impact of impostor thoughts on interpersonal helping via prosocial motivation. We proposed that one's level of prevention focus would moderate this relationship chain, such
that the positive relationships would be more pronounced when one has a lower (vs. higher) prevention focus. Findings from a multiwave, multisource field survey we conducted with 286 Chinese employees and their paired colleagues supported these hypotheses. Our study challenges the notion that
imposter thoughts are uniformly detrimental and reveals pathways through which a beneficial effect on interpersonal helping may occur.
Self-objectification and appearance anxiety in university students: Physical activity as a moderator
Authors: Liu Linjuan , Liu Gang , Wang Huilin
Published: August 2024

Excessive concern among university students over their physical appearance can lead to depression, eating disorders, and negative emotions, making appearance anxiety a significant social issue affecting students' mental and physical health. In this study 352 Chinese university students
completed a survey. Results showed there was a significant positive correlation between selfobjectification and appearance anxiety, and a significant negative correlation of both appearance anxiety and self-objectification with physical activity. The interaction between self-objectification
and physical activity was significant, indicating that physical activity played an important moderating role in the relationship between self-objectification and appearance anxiety. Selfobjectification had a positive predictive effect on appearance anxiety, whereas physical activity had a
negative predictive effect. Physical activity also served as a moderating factor in the relationship between self-objectification and appearance anxiety. Our findings emphasize that physical activity can reduce the impact of self-objectification on appearance anxiety, providing potential solutions
to students' appearance anxiety.

Drug iatrogenicity is a constantly evolving phenomenon, affecting several therapeutic classes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of prolonged administration of oxycodone hydrochloride, a central analgesic, on reproductive functions in male rats. Materials and methods: three groups of 5 rats each were created; distilled water 0.5 ml/100g, oxycodone hydrochloride 5 and 10 mg/kg. The different products were administered orally daily for 30 days. The variables studied were: animal behaviour, prostate, testicular and epididymal weights, spermogram parameters and hormonal biomarkers (FSH, LH and testosterone levels).
Results: behaviorally and morphologically, the results obtained show that oxycodone hydrochloride at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg causes stiffness of the animals' tails, priaprism and atrophy of the prostate, testicles and epididymis, of which intensity was dose-dependent. On spermogram parameters, oxycodone hydrochloride caused a significant decrease in sperm motility (p<0.001) and in the number of normal spermatozoa (p<0.05). Administration of oxycodone hydrochloride to rats significantly decreased testosterone levels (p<0.05) and an increase in LH levels.
Conclusion: Oxycodone hydrochloride, administered to animals at doses of 5 and 10 mg/kg, causes morphological disturbances of the gonads and related structures, spermogram parameters and gonadal hormones.

Published: August 2024

Green medicine, the drugs derived from plants attained a wide spread interest, as believed to be safe and dependable, compared with costly synthetic drugs that have adverse effects. In this study, Annona Squamosa (A. squamosa) have been investigated for their phytochemical, antioxidant, antimutagenic activities. Qualitative analysis of various phytochemical constituents and quantitative analysis of total phenol were determined by the well-known test protocol available in the literature. The extraction yield was found in the order: methanol>water>ethyl acetate>hexane. The extracts found to possess saponin glycosides, cardiac glycosides, phenolics, terpenoids, sterols, and flavonoids. The total phenolic content of hexane, ethyl acetate, methanolic and aqueous extract of A. squamosa were 3.04±0.37, 5.83±0.29, 31.42±2.35, and 27.21±1.06 GAE mg/g, respectively. The methanolic extracts exhibited highest amount of total polyphenol content compared to all other solvent extracts. The ethyl acetate, methanolic and aqueous extracts were evaluated for their antioxidant potential in terms of DPPH radical scavenging capabilities. The scavenging was found to dose dependent with IC50 value of 185.24, 103.09 and 160.17 µg/ml for the ethyl acetate, methanol and aqueous extracts respectively. The antimutagenic potential of the methanolic extract was studied using Ames test using T98 strain of Salmonella typhimurium applying NPD as the mutagen. The number of reverant colonies were counted using a digital colony counter and the reduction in colonies was calculated as the activity (%) of the extract at four doses. The reverent colonies were visible as lawn like structures on the surface of the plate and were significantly lower compared to positive control in the extract plate and the negative control. The extract was able to control the growth of reverant colonies upto 79.30% in comparison to the mutagenic control. The results show that the methanolic extract of A. squamosa leaf was able to exhibit a dose regulated antimutagenic activity by inhibiting the growth of His+ reverant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Hypertension is the leading modifiable cause of premature death and hence World Health Organization (WHO) has made it one of its global prevention priorities. It is a major risk factor for stroke, myocardial infarction, vascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. The prevention and treatment of hypertension imposes a significant public health challenge owing to its related morbidity and mortality as well as the expense to society. Hypertension is referred to as a silent and an invisible killer and affects at least 1.4 billion people globally. Less than half of adults (42%) with hypertension are diagnosed and treated.
Methodology The research design was an institution based single centered, observational descriptive study, cross sectional in design and was carried out for a duration of 28 days (4 weeks) from 01.06.2024 to 29.06.2024. The study was conducted in the Outpatient Department (OPD) of Regimenal therapies, National Institute of Unani Medicine (NIUM), Bengaluru. All people above 21 years of age attending OPD constituted study population. In present study, 524 patients were included in the study. The diagnosis of hypertension was done as per WHO guidelines. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 24.
Results: The study revealed that prevalence of hypertension was 35.87% in the study population. In the present study, 53.20% of diagnosed hypertensive patients were females and rest 46.80% were males. Majority of diagnosed hypertensive patients (39.89%) belonged to the age group of above 60 years.
Conclusion: Prevalence of hypertension is significantly increasing at a greater pace globally as well as in India. Periodic screening and raising awareness about hypertension in general population is necessary to reduce the prevalence of the disease and thereby the associated morbidity and mortality.

DEPRESSÃO E SUICÍDIO NA PERSPECTIVA FENOMENOLÓGICO-EXISTENCIAL E CENTRADA NA PESSOA: Uma revisão integrativa
Authors: Dias Ana Flávia Ferreira , Hage Zakiee Castro Mufarrej
Published: August 2024

This study aims to conduct an integrative and qualitative review of scientific productions on depression and suicide according to Existential Phenomenology and Person-Centered Approach. Data collection was carried out in the Scielo, Pepsic, ResearchGate, and CAPES Periodicals databases. 13 articles that correlate the descriptors used and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected. The results show that, from the existential phenomenological perspective, depression and suicide are seen as multifaceted phenomena that take into account subjectivity, the search for meaning, and human authenticity. The authors discuss that what leads a person to suicide is existential anguish caused by factors such as a technicist society, the incessant search for happiness, social stigma, individualism, fragile relationships, dysfunctional families, and the prioritization of medicalization over care. The most cited authors supporting the studies found are Heidegger, Sartre, and Carl Rogers, who bring both similarities and differences. Studies relating depression and suicide to the Person-Centered Approach assert that these phenomena occur due to a distortion of the self, causing anguish and existential pain, as the idealized self-image and the real lived experience are distinct. It is encouraged to produce more articles that bring a humanistic perspective on depression and suicide in life stages beyond adolescence, such as old age and childhood. Additionally, it encourages the production of more studies focusing on the Person-Centered Approach, as well as empirical studies with case analyses.

This work aims to analyze volition and behavior in Criminal Law and its application in cases of domestic violence, identifying how forms of domestic violence can affect the characteristics of the person with borderline personality disorder along with volition, which can affect the assessment of criminal liability in cases of domestic violence in accordance with the principle of in dubio pro reo. A qualitative literary review was used in the databases Periódicos CAPES, Google Scholar, Scielo (dated from 2000 to 2023); in specialized literature and on the official Planalto website. The emotional instability of the person with BPD along with aspects of affective relationships can lead to aggressive situations within the domestic environment, such as psychological and physical violence that can be marked by impulsivity, as well as intentional, which lead to doubts regarding their judgment, of so that they must be evaluated in the concrete. Therefore, when in doubt about imputability, semi-imputability applies; doubt about semi-imputability, non-imputability applies. It is noted that psychological violence has the nature of semi-imputability, due to the intentional aspects of relational maintenance and physical violence may contain the assumption of non-imputability, linked to impulsiveness and intense anger.

Esse trabalho objetivou analisar como a Astronomia tem sido abordada no livro didático de Física adotado pela SEED do estado Paraná, desde a implementação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o Ensino Médio (BNCCEM). Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho optou-se por uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa do tipo descritiva com relação aos objetivos e documental com relação aos procedimentos seguindo, para a análise dos dados constituídos, os pressupostos da Pesquisa Descritiva de Yin (2016), composta por um ciclo de cinco fases de análise e suas interações: compilar, decompor, recompor, interpretar e concluir. O corpus do trabalho foi constituído por meio do livro didático de Física adotado por professores de diferentes Núcleos Regionais de Educação (NREs) do estado Paraná, desde a implementação da BNCCEM. Os resultados indicam que o livro didático analisado, apresenta uma Educação em Astronomia que converge com aquilo que os currículos vêm propondo, o que não significa uma política pública que converge para os interesses dos oprimidos. Sendo os conteúdos apresentados de forma superficial, não atendem a uma formação científica no campo da Educação em Astronomia, de modo que as aulas cujo material principal seja o livro didático terão, muito provavelmente, prejuízos quanto à aquisição de conteúdo para a alfabetização e letramento científicos.

The widespread circulation of illegal drugs poses a serious threat to society as it can have negative impacts on health. In 2019, BPOM Palu confiscated illegal drugs and cosmetics from various areas in Central Sulawesi. A law enforcement operation in Sigi Regency on September 23, 2020, together with the Central Sulawesi Regional Police, successfully seized Class G prescription drugs, traditional medicines, and illegal cosmetics (BPOM Palu, 2022). The main cause of illegal drug circulation is the improper reuse of household drug waste, exploited by irresponsible parties. The use of illegal drugs, which may consist of counterfeit, damaged, or expired items, can endanger health and even lives. One crucial step to prevent this is by managing drug waste properly. Since 2019, BPOM has been conducting awareness campaigns such as "Beware of Illegal Drugs, Dispose of Drug Waste Properly" to educate the public on proper drug disposal (BPOM, 2019). Many people still don't understand the correct way to manage and dispose of expired drugs. Most of them throw these drugs into the trash, potentially fueling illegal drug reuse by irresponsible parties. Training and awareness efforts, such as those conducted in Kotapulu Village, Dolo District, Sigi Regency, are highly relevant. With better knowledge of proper drug management and disposal, it is hoped that communities can independently address drug waste issues, ultimately reducing the circulation of illegal drugs in the region. These activities are crucial for educating the public about the dangers of illegal drugs and the importance of proper drug waste management. The goal is to help reduce the circulation of illegal drugs, especially in Central Sulawesi, thereby safeguarding the overall health and safety of the community.

Artificial intelligence in support of management control in local government: Potentialities and limitations
Authors: Serluca Maria Carmela
Published: August 2024

he book "Artificial Intelligence in Support of Management Control in Local Government: Potentialities and Limitations" examines the transformation path of public administration, with particular attention to local realities, exploring the transition from the traditional administrative model to a managerial type of management focused on added value and quality of services. The adoption of AI in management control represents an important step towards a more modern, efficient, and responsive public administration. However, the use of AI must be accompanied, firstly, by adequate information technology (IT) support that must represent the databases to provide the information that, with the support of AI, must be processed, secondly, by adequate staff training, an ethical approach to data management, and security measures that guarantee the confidentiality and protection of sensitive information. These topical aspects engage the European Union (EU) and national legislators to define the application risks and identify the necessary measures.

Personality traits and organizational support as predictors of work-life balance among shoprite workers. Work-life balance has become an emerging issue where bothorganization and   employees tend to benefit. However no consistent results have been obtained using different predictors. Therefore, this study investigated personality traits and organizational support as predictors of work-life balance among workers in Shoprite in Ibadan metropolis. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design while purposive sampling technique was used to select one superstore: Shoprite in Ibadan. Data were collected from 200 participants using three validated scales and analyzed using t-test of independent samples and multiple regressions analysis. Three hypotheses were tested and accepted at a p < 0.05 level of significance. The result indicated that perceived organizational support significantly influenced work-life balance [t (198) = 2.12, p <..05] among study participants. Also, the result revealed that personality traits of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience jointly predicted work-life balance among workers (R2 = 0.04, F (5, 191) = 1.64, p < 0.05). Furthermore, personality traits and organizational support jointly predicted work-life balance among study participants (R2 = 0.08, F (6,190) = 2.89, p < 0.05). However, only perceived organizational support independently predicted work-life balance. The study concluded that personality traits and organizational support are good predictors of work-life balance among study participants. It is recommended that workers should learn self-and time-management techniques to achieve maximum

DKI Jakarta is experiencing land subsidence due to overexploitation of its use and the increasing population. It is feared that this decline or deformation will occur in the location of the new national capital. The research objective is "Mapping of Land Surface Deformation using PS-InSAR for Disaster Risk Management in the Future." Quantitative and qualitative research and data collection methods use secondary and primary data. Secondary data in the form of Permanent Scatterers Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (PS-InSAR) Sentinel-1A images to determine soil deformation. Primary data uses a questionnaire to assess disaster risk management. Data analysis uses spatial and statistical analysis. Spatial analysis for land deformation mapping and statistical analysis for risk management. The results showed that the pattern of land deformation before the determination of the location of the capital city of Indonesia was random. On the other hand, after decision-making, it appears to be more systematic and homogeneous in adjacent areas with a decreasing range of about 5 cm per year. Other findings show that disaster risk management carried out by several agencies, especially the problem of land deformation in East Kalimantan, is still far from expectations and very minimal. The findings can be used for future disaster risk management to minimize negative impacts and reduce disaster risk.Keywords: PS-INSAR; Land Deformation; Capital City; Disaster Risk Management
