Authors: Bidaya Eva Elminawati , Ritonga Putri Welda Utami
Published: April 2023

Alginate is the most common used material because it is easy to use, affordable, and well accepted by patients. When impressing, alginate would be in contact with the surface of the oral cavity and saliva. It caused the microflora, like Candida albicanswould adhere to the surface so that it can cause cross-infection. Cross-infection prevention could be done by disinfecting the impression material before filling with gypsum. The main things of choosing a disinfectant is that the disinfectant material could eliminate microorganisms and affect the dimensional stability of impression material. This study aimed to determine the effect of alginate impression disinfection with sodium hypochlorite and castor oil (Ricinus communis oil) on the Candida albicanscounts and the dimensional stability of the study model. The samples of Candida albicanswas counted by colony counter andthe dimensional stability test by digital caliper. This study showed that alginate impression desinfection with castor oil had almost the same effectiveness as sodium hypochlorite in reducing the Candida albicanscounts, but dimension was changed even though the value of the dimensional changes is still within the tolerance limit.

Authors:   Institute of Regional Sustainable Development, Anh Bui Le
Published: April 2023

This article focuses on providing an analysis of the current situation of educating body safety skills for 5-6-year-old children at preschools in Hanoi. The research results demonstrate that, despite variations in the assessment from administrators and teachers, the management of educating body safety skills for 5-6-year-old children at preschools is, on the whole, being carried out to a satisfactory level. Nonetheless, the research findings indicate that the implementation of management content in this domain still lacks periodic comparison, contrast, review, supplementation, and adjustment of educational programs. Additionally, the criteria for evaluating the quality of educational methods, managing and assessing the teaching practices of body safety skills for 5-6-year-old children, and the collection of feedback from parents regarding the practice of physical safety in the family and society are not at an optimal level. These research results are essential for the key management subjects involved in the implementation of body safety education activities for 5-6-year-old children at preschools. They offer an empirical basis for identifying suitable and effective management measures to enhance the quality of body safety education for 5-6-year-old children at preschools in Hanoi during the current phase.

Published: April 2023

The need for application-based writing is all-time high due to the inevitable implementation of technology in education. Several proofreaders are available in the market and used by EFL learners to develop error-free content; one such popular tool is Grammarly, which has gained popularity in the last few years. Significantly, before implementing any such tool for teaching-learning activities, we must determine users’ perceptions of using it. However, such applications are more common in developed nations than in the Arab world. Therefore, this study determines EFL learners’ perceptions of using Grammarly in their writing skills improvements. A web-based questionnaire was randomly distributed among 50 Arab EFL learners. The valid responses received against each item were quantitively analyzed using SPSS. The results clearly show that EFL learners are positive and agree that Grammarly positively impacts writing skills.

The study on influence of underfunding and poor management on the accreditation of business education programmes in public universities and colleges of education in South East, Nigeria was necessitated by the need to ensure that the programmes meet the minimum academic standards in order to achieve its objectives. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey research design was adopted and area of the study was delimited to South-East, Nigeria. The population consisted of 197 business educators in 13 federal and state universities and colleges of education in South- East, Nigeria. No sample and sampling techniques was adopted because the population size is manageable for the researchers. The instrument was validated by four experts. Cronbach alpha was used to determine the internal consistency of the instrument, and an overall reliability coefficient of 0.90 was obtained. The t-test was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that under-funding and poor management affected accreditation of business education programmes to a high extent. Business educators from universities do not differ significantly from their counterparts in colleges of education in their mean ratings on the influence under-funding and poor management on the accreditation of business education programmes in South-East, Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was concluded that under-funding and poor management affected accreditation of business education programmes for quality assurance in university and college of education. It was, therefore recommended; among others that, government should adequately fund universities and colleges of education to enable institutional administrators provide the necessary physical, human and material resources for the enhancement of quality business education programmes in university and college of education in Nigeria while waiting for accreditation.
Chitosan oligosaccharide: use to control Fusarium head blight and to reduce deoxynivalenol accumulation in wheat grains
Authors:   , Machado Franklin Jackson
Published: April 2023

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide, but several fungal diseases can affect crop yield. Among them, Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by members of the Fusarium graminearum species complex, is one of the most serious wheat diseases worldwide, resulting in lost ofin yield and grain quality due to the accumulation of mycotoxins. There are several strategies for FHB management, including cultural practices, sowing of resistant cultivars, chemical control, biological control, among others. The use of alternative products, such as chitosan and its derivatives, can be a viable alternative for disease control. The present study proposes to investigate the use of chitosan oligosaccharide as an alternative product to reduce FHB intensity and to reduce mycotoxin contamination in wheat grains. The trials were carried out in the 2021 and 2022. The experiments were divided into in vitro tests, seed treatment and foliar application on wheat plants under greenhouse and field conditions. In the in vitro trials, it was possible to observe that the chitosan oligosaccharide directly affected the growth of F. graminearum, depending on the concentration used. When applied in seed treatment, both tebuconazole and chitosan oligosaccharide reduced the incidence of F. graminearum and preserved the germination potential of seeds when inoculated with the fungus. In general, there was no significant reduction in disease severity between doses or times of chitosan oligosaccharide application in relation to the unsprayed check and the fungicide. However, an association between the reduction of disease intensity was observed, although not significant, with the reduction of the accumulation of DON in the grains. The results of this study suggest that chitosan oligosaccharide can potentially be used as a tool in the integrated management of the disease, establishing a basis for future studies to explore the use of this product associated with chemical products, aiming to increase the efficacy of FHB control in wheat. Keywords: Fusarium graminearum. Triticum aestivum. Alternative control. Integrated management of plant diseases.

Mimosa pudica is a medicinal plant worthy of therapeutic properties. It is often overlooked as one of the weed species, and the potential was underappreciated despite its abundance in nature, particularly in tropical climate countries. Considering the aptitude of this species, the micropropagation protocol of M. pudica was revisited and enhanced. The seed surface sterilization and germination were assessed, followed by shoot multiplication rate and root initiation efficiency. Seeds of M. pudica were best surface sterilized with 35% of Clorox and recorded the highest germination rate at 65.55% in media of three-quarter strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) combined with 30 g of sucrose. The explants were harvested and subcultured into multiplication media fortified with 6-benzylaminopurine, kinetin, and coconut water. The highest number of new shoots and leaves were obtained at 3 shoots and 3.27 cm in media of MS combined with 17.6 μm kinetin. Half-strength MS media devoid of hormone was recommended for root induction, resulting in the 5 healthy roots at 2.06 cm after 4 weeks of culture. Overall, the developed micropropagation protocol of M. pudica could facilitate its large-scale cultivation, indicating its potential as a medicinal crop for the extraction of bioactive compounds.

Published: April 2023

Cacti are economic ornamental plants whose value varies with market trends. Recently, cacti with new morphologies compared to the original plant have decreased in popularity. Colchicine is a tricyelic alkaloid substance, It is an inhibitor of mitosis thus preventing the formation of microtubuli and the mitotic spindle. This research investigated the effect of colchicine on inducing morphological and anatomical traits in Gymnocalycium mihanovichii using a 2-factor factorial completely randomized design (CRD) The first factor was the duration of the dipped stem at 24 and 48 h, while the second factor was the colchicine concentration at 0.25 and 0.5 %. Results indicated that G. mihanovichii treated with colchicine at different concentrations and dipping durations showed statistically significant differences in plant height, stem diameter, number of spines and root length. G. mihanovichii treated with 0.50 % colchicine for 48 h developed a new morphological trait called spineless cactus. Occurrences of larger sized stomata with lower frequency per unit area were statistically significantly different after treatment with 0.25 % colchicine for 24 h. Maximum length of stomatal guard cells was 50.33 µm.
HIGHLIGHTS

mihanovichii is the most valuable cactus species, both in the Thai market and trade worldwide and new characteristic would be commercially beneficial and demand high prices in the cactus market because it is rarely found in nature
mihanovichii can be induced to develop new characteristics using colchicine such as variegated stem color, spineless, cristata and monstrosities. These traits may increase the market value of the cacti both domestically and abroad
The epidermis of the stem of mihanovichii was observed. Both types of stomata were found distributed in the tissue

Dubbele materialiteit: de toekomst van duurzaamheidsverslaggeving volgens ESRS en experts
Authors: van Nieuw Amerongen Niels , Renes Remko , de Bos Auke
Published: April 2023

Dubbele materialiteit is een nieuw concept dat centraal staat in de European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). De ESRS zijn ontwikkeld door de European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) met het doel de Europese Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) van 2022 te implementeren en uniforme duurzaamheidsverslaggeving te bevorderen. Dubbele materialiteit impliceert dat bedrijven zowel de impact van hun activiteiten op ecologisch, sociaal en governance vlak (“inside out”) als de financiële gevolgen van ESG-factoren voor de organisatie zelf (“outside in”) moeten evalueren ten behoeve van hun externe verslaggeving. In deze bijdrage wordt het concept van dubbele materialiteit geanalyseerd en wordt de visie van Nederlandse experts op de toepassing van deze aanpak in de nabije toekomst besproken.
Stock Broad-Index Trend Patterns Learning via Domain Knowledge Informed Generative Network
Authors: Gu Jingyi , Deek Fadi P. , Wang Guiling
Published: April 2023

Predicting the Stock movement attracts much attention from both industry and academia. Despite such significant efforts, the results remain unsatisfactory due to the inherently complicated nature of the stock market driven by factors including supply and demand, the state of the economy, the political climate, and even irrational human behavior. Recently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) have been extended for time series data; however, robust methods are primarily for synthetic series generation, which fall short for appropriate stock prediction. This is because existing GANs for stock applications suffer from mode collapse and only consider one-step prediction, thus underutilizing the potential of GAN. Furthermore, merging news and market volatility are neglected in current GANs. To address these issues, we exploit expert domain knowledge in finance and, for the first time, attempt to formulate stock movement prediction into a Wasserstein GAN framework for multi-step prediction. We propose Index GAN, which includes deliberate designs for the inherent characteristics of the stock market, leverages news context learning to thoroughly investigate textual information and develop an attentive seq2seq learning network that captures the temporal dependency among stock prices, news, and market sentiment. We also utilize the critic to approximate the Wasserstein distance between actual and predicted sequences and develop a rolling strategy for deployment that mitigates noise from the financial market. Extensive experiments are conducted on real-world broad-based indices, demonstrating the superior performance of our architecture over other state-of-the-art baselines, also validating all its contributing components.
Combining Blockchain and IoT for Decentralized Healthcare Data Management
Authors: Meisami Sajad , Meisami Sadaf , Yousefi Melina , Aref Mohammad Reza
Published: April 2023

The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) has resulted in a significant increase in research on e-health. As the amount of patient data grows, it has become increasingly challenging to protect patients' privacy. Patient data is commonly stored in the cloud, making it difficult for users to control and protect their information. Moreover, the recent rise in security and surveillance breaches in the healthcare industry has highlighted the need for a better approach to data storage and protection. Traditional models that rely on third-party control over patients' healthcare data are no longer reliable, as they have proven vulnerable to security breaches. To address these issues, blockchain technology has emerged as a promising solution. Blockchain-based protocols have the potential to provide a secure and efficient system for e-health applications that does not require trust in third-party intermediaries. The proposed protocol outlined in this paper uses a blockchain-based approach to manage patient data securely and efficiently. Unlike Bitcoin, which is primarily used for financial transactions, the protocol described here is designed specifically for e-health applications. It employs a consensus mechanism that is more suitable for resource constrained IoT devices, thereby reducing network costs and increasing efficiency. The proposed protocol also provides a privacy-preserving access control mechanism that enables patients to have more control over their healthcare data. By leveraging blockchain technology, the protocol ensures that only authorized individuals can access the patient's data, which helps prevent data breaches and other security issues. Finally, the security and privacy of the proposed protocol are analysed to ensure that it meets the necessary standards for data protection. The protocol's effectiveness and efficiency are tested under different scenarios to ensure that it can perform reliably and consistently. Finally, the protocol proposed in this paper shows that how blockchain can be used to provide a secure and efficient system that empowers patients to take control of their healthcare data.

Published: April 2023

This study considered an analysis of the value chain of tomato production and its related activities, conducted in Anis district - Dhamar governorate, to carry out a financial analysis of the whole chain in order to assess the added value and the distribution of profit margins between the different actors. This article maps and analyzes the tomato value chain in Anis District . Primary data was collected through a survey method adopting a multistage random sampling technique. The value chain highlighted the involvement of various actors, who directly or indirectly participated in the value chain. The different actors identified in the study area were input suppliers, farmers, traders, wholesalers, retailers and finally consumersThe result revealed that the main actors in the value chain are input suppliers, tomato producers, tomato pickers, small and large traders, processors and consumers. The market share of the producers shows that the producers get the largest share, which is 1350 YER. The main problems facing the tomato value chain are found to be low prices, high perishable nature, lack of access to credit, inadequate storage and processing facilities, lack of market information, and lack of financing for cultivation. While farmers rated low price as the most worrisome constraint, poor transportation facilities for the region producing tomatoes were rated as the most pressing constraint for value chain players.
Uniones temporales de empresas y Derecho concursal
Authors: Ibáñez García Isaac
Published: April 2023

¿Qué ocurre cuando la empresa concursada es partícipe en uniones temporales de empresas vivas a la fecha de declaración del concurso?, ¿qué le ocurre a la propia unión temporal? En definitiva, ¿qué consecuencias tiene la situación concursal sobre la UTE y sus partícipes? Este es un tema escasamente abordado por la doctrina y por la jurisprudencia. En el presente trabajo se parte de la naturaleza jurídica de las uniones temporales de empresarios y se analizan las cuestiones apuntadas.
Protección jurídica de las páginas web. II parte. Acerca de los contratos necesarios para la creación y el funcionamiento de una página web
Authors: Minero Alejandre Gemma
Published: April 2023

El presente trabajo continúa el estudio sobre la materia de la protección jurídica de las páginas webs, publicado en el número 129 de esta revista. En aquel entonces analizamos las posibilidades del derecho de autor y del derecho sui géneris para proteger la estructura y el contenido de una página web. Esta segunda parte del trabajo se centra, sin embargo, en el estudio de las modalidades de contratación disponibles a la hora de crear ex novo una página web y en las repercusiones que la elección por una o por otro pueden tener en relación con las formas de tutela jurídica que acaban de ser citadas. Un especial interés revisten las normas aplicables en defecto de pacto por las partes contratantes acerca de las concretas modalidades o derechos de propiedad intelectual cedidos y los ámbitos temporal y territorial de la cesión. Con ello, pretendemos completar el estudio que iniciamos con la pretensión de examinar qué posibles vías de protección de entre las actualmente existentes en nuestro ordenamiento jurídico son las más apropiadas para proteger los bienes jurídicos presentes en la globalidad de páginas webs y necesitados de tutela e incentivo para su creación.
El papel de la Administración en la consecución de la igualdad de género
Authors: Menéndez Sebastián Eva María
Published: April 2023

La Administración es uno de los poderes públicos a los que el artículo 9.2 de la Cons-titución Española dirige el mandato de promover las condiciones de igualdad del individuo y grupos, mandato que se concreta en gran medida en la Ley Orgánica 3/2007, de 22 de marzo, de Igualdad, de la cual se deduce indefectiblemente que no solo está obligada a ello sino que además su papel en la consecución de esa igualdad real y efectiva es preponderante.
Y ello porque, además del citado mandato constitucional, la Administración tiene una presencia constante en la esfera jurídica del administrado en la que incide de forma diversa según las actividades clásicas de esta: policía, fomento y servicio público. Incidencia que se traslada en este estudio al tema de la igualdad de género, analizando y exponiendo a lo largo de las líneas de este trabajo los principales medios de los que dispone para promover esa igualdad y las medidas más relevantes que a tales efectos puede adoptar, así como los límites que la normativa le impone y que la jurisprudencia ha concretado al respecto y muy particularmente a las debatidas acciones positivas.
Con especial atención a los mecanismos que el ordenamiento jurídico ofrece para ese fomento, así, por ejemplo, la llamada contratación social, las subvenciones o el distintivo de «Igualdad en la Empresa».
Participaciones preferentes: conceptualización, clasificación, naturaleza y evolución futura
Authors: Villacorta Hernández Miguel Ángel
Published: April 2023

Este estudio analiza la naturaleza jurídica de las emisiones de participaciones preferentes (PPR), reguladas por primera vez en España en la Ley 19/2003, y que es una figura distinta a las acciones o participaciones sociales preferentes y privilegiadas del Texto Refundido de la Ley de Sociedades de Capital (TRLSC).
Esta figura es analizada por cuatro razones: primero, porque la prensa económica ofrece informaciones equívocas, segundo, porque tienen una regulación detallada que merece ser observada, tercero, porque son las emisiones de híbrido de capital que presentan más éxito en el mercado financiero, y cuarto porque es el instrumento elegido por los intermediarios financieros para financiarse en la crisis de 2009-2011.
La conclusión fundamental es la necesidad de analizar, por separado, la naturaleza de las PPR emitidas de forma directa y las emitidas de forma indirecta.
El planteamiento de la cuestión prejudicial por un órgano jurisdiccional español desde la perspectiva europea y nacional
Authors: Sarrión Esteve Joaquín
Published: April 2023

La función de los órganos jurisdiccionales nacionales como jueces ordinarios del Derecho de la Unión Europea es una de las cuestiones jurídicas fundamentales del proceso de integración europea.
En el ámbito de dicha función, la cuestión prejudicial es un instrumento esencial para garantizar una interpretación y aplicación homogénea del Derecho de la Unión además de coadyuvar a la cooperación entre los jueces nacionales y el Tribunal de Justicia.
Vamos a tratar de estudiar este instrumento del planteamiento de la cuestión prejudicial, en particular por parte de los órganos jurisdiccionales españoles, tanto desde el punto de vista europeo como nacional, atendiendo a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia y de nuestro Tribunal Constitucional.
Las Administraciones públicas ante la declaración de concurso de sus licitadores y contratistas
Authors: Ramos Pérez Olivares Alfredo
Published: April 2023

El propósito de estas líneas es estudiar la regulación de las situaciones en las que una empresa que, bien pretendiendo contratar con la Administración pública acudiendo a una licitación, o bien habiendo resultado adjudicataria de un contrato administrativo y en ejecución del mismo, es declarada en concurso de acreedores.
En primer lugar, de esta situación se deriva la prohibición de contratar con las Admi-nistraciones públicas. Con esta prohibición, el legislador pretende impedir que la ejecución de un contrato público sea encomendada a personas o empresas que no tengan suficiente capacidad económica.
En segundo lugar, la declaración de concurso de acreedores puede, con determinados matices, configurarse como causa de resolución de los contratos públicos. Se quiere con ello salvar el interés público de la obra o servicio encomendado, por encima del principio de la continuación de la actividad de la empresa concursada.
En este trabajo se ha pretendido dar respuesta a los problemas que plantea esta situación de insolvencia de los contratistas y licitadores públicos.
El nuevo amparo constitucional: su interpretación jurisprudencial y su aplicación práctica en la elaboración de los recursos de amparo
Authors: Pérez Gurrea Rosana
Published: April 2023

En este trabajo pretendemos analizar la reforma de la Ley Orgánica del Tribunal Constitucional llevada a cabo por la Ley Orgánica 6/2007, de 24 de mayo, la cual con la finalidad de dar solución al elevado número de recursos de amparo que llegan al Tribunal Constitucional introduce cambios en la configuración del trámite de admisión.
El cambio consiste básicamente en invertir el juicio de admisibilidad, ya que se pasa de comprobar la inexistencia de causas de inadmisión a la verificación de la existencia de una relevancia constitucional en el recurso de amparo formulado. Esta admisión en positivo implica la objetivación del recurso de amparo, ya que al recurrente no le bastará, como ocurría antes, con justificar que se ha producido la lesión subjetiva del derecho, sino que debe justificar además la especial trascendencia constitucional del asunto, concepto que constituye la esencia y la base inspiradora de la reforma. La carga de justificarla corresponde al recurrente, se configura como un requisito insubsanable y es distinto a razonar que existe la vulneración de un derecho fundamental. La Sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional 15/2009 nos explica en qué consiste este concepto tan decisivo para la admisión de la demanda de amparo constitucional después de la reforma de 2007 y contempla una lista abierta de supuestos en los que se puede apreciar la concurrencia del mismo, como vamos a analizar en este trabajo.
La transmisibilidad a los herederos de la indemnización por daño moral derivado de lesiones permanentes de la víctima prematuramente fallecida (una no tan «rancia polémica» no resuelta definitivamente por la doctrina)
Authors: Tapia Gutiérrez Paloma
Published: April 2023

Este trabajo tiene por objeto analizar la polémica jurisprudencial y doctrinal en torno a la transmisibilidad o intransmisibilidad por vía hereditaria del crédito resarcitorio por el daño moral derivado de lesiones permanentes inferidas a una persona que muere antes de lo que era esperable. Se trata de una controversia aún irresuelta, e incluso en ocasiones menospreciada por la doctrina y la jurisprudencia, a pesar de que presenta un evidente y constante interés, a juzgar por la ascendente progresión de demandas de reparación de daños morales derivados de este tipo de lesiones, tanto contra las aseguradoras como contra las Administraciones públicas. Bajo tal polémica subyacen importantes cuestiones dogmáticas y técnico-jurídicas (por ejemplo: ¿puede considerarse patrimonial este crédito no obstante el carácter genuinamente extrapatrimonial del derecho que lo origina?, ¿su transmisibilidad no vulneraría la naturaleza esencialmente resarcitoria de nuestro sistema de responsabilidad civil?) y su resolución puede resultar de interés precisamente para quienes normalmente afrontan el pago de las indemnizaciones, dado que la interpretación y aplicación que del baremo de daños corporales y, en general, del anexo de la Ley sobre responsabilidad civil y seguro en la circulación de vehículos a motor realiza la jurisprudencia y refrenda buena parte de la doctrina pueden estar ocasionando en muchos de estos supuestos una sobreindemnización del daño. El motivo es la utilización generalizada e indiscriminada, como única técnica posible de indemnización de daños, del pago alzado de una cantidad única en el momento de dictar la resolución. Esta polémica solo devendría inútil si los operadores jurídicos, utilizando los recursos que la propia ley ofrece –o, al menos, no veda–, optaran por la indemnización en forma de renta vitalicia.
