Authors: Segovia Tapia Thalía Adriana , Tocagón Otavalo Inti Malki
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo general analizar las implicaciones legales, sociales y económicas de la cesión de derechos de propiedad intelectual (DPI) en diferentes contextos, incluyendo los ámbitos cultural, empresarial y comunitario. La metodología empleada fue de tipo cualitativo, utilizando entrevistas semiestructuradas con participantes representativos de cada ámbito y un análisis de contenido para explorar sus experiencias. Además, se realizó un enfoque normativo-conceptual para identificar desafíos legales y proponer mejoras en la regulación de los DPI. Entre los resultados principales, se identificó que la cesión de DPI puede facilitar el acceso a recursos económicos, la expansión geográfica y el reconocimiento global, como en el caso de autores y empresarios que logran internacionalizar sus obras o productos. Sin embargo, también se observaron riesgos significativos, como la pérdida de control sobre los derechos cedidos, especialmente en comunidades vulnerables donde los marcos legales son débiles o inexistentes. Asimismo, se evidenció que las brechas en el conocimiento sobre DPI limitan la capacidad de negociación de los cedentes, mientras que las regulaciones complejas y las ambigüedades legales dificultan su implementación práctica. Un hallazgo adicional resalta la importancia de acuerdos claros y mecanismos de monitoreo para garantizar una distribución equitativa de los beneficios generados por la cesión de DPI. En cuanto a la conclusión, se enfatiza la necesidad de fortalecer los marcos legales y promover la educación sobre DPI para garantizar procesos justos y sostenibles que beneficien a todas las partes involucradas.

Authors: Espin Oyala Marvin Jair , López Quizhpi Jennniffer Tatiana
Published: February 2025

En nuestra investigación, analizamos el debido proceso como principio fundamental que garantizó el respeto a los derechos fundamentales en las actuaciones estatales ecuatorianas. Encontramos que, si bien este principio buscaba asegurar la transparencia, imparcialidad y proporcionalidad en los procedimientos, enfrentó desafíos significativos en el ámbito del derecho administrativo sancionador. A través de nuestro análisis documental exhaustivo, identificamos tres vulneraciones críticas que afectaron directamente a los ciudadanos: las notificaciones fueron deficientes, existió una marcada desigualdad procesal entre la administración pública y los administrados, y las resoluciones administrativas carecieron de fundamentación suficiente. Observamos que, aunque la normativa ecuatoriana estableció garantías robustas, su implementación práctica resultó deficiente, evidenciando una preocupante inversión de la carga probatoria y limitaciones en el acceso a expedientes. Para abordar estas problemáticas, propusimos reformas estructurales que incluyeron la implementación de plataformas digitales, el establecimiento de plazos obligatorios y el fortalecimiento de mecanismos de control. Estas medidas fueron diseñadas para fortalecer la legitimidad del sistema sancionador y garantizar que tanto la justicia como el respeto a los derechos fundamentales prevalecieran en todos los procedimientos administrativos.

This study investigated the presence of manic symptoms in stable patients diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) aiming to identify their association with clinical symptoms. A total of 75 out-patients, 41.3% female [47.81 (±10.521) year-old] were assessed using the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale (GAD-7), and Risk Assessment of Suicidality Scale (RASS). Participants were divided into two groups based on YMRS scores: Group 1, without or with minimal symptoms of mania (YMRS ≤ 10) and Group 2, with distinct manic symptoms (YMRS > 10). We performed statistical analysis using the IBM SPSS version 29.0. Our analysis revealed a positive significant correlation between YMRS total score and PANSS total score (r2 = 0.516, p = 2.15 × 10−6), PANSS-Positive subscore (r2 = 0.600, p = 1.31 × 10−8) and PANSS-General Psychopathology subscore (r2 = 0.444, p = 6.646 × 10−5), Bonferroni corrected at p = 0.0004. Moreover, positive symptoms as assessed by the PANSS-Positive subscale score differed significantly between the two YMRS groups [t(73) = 3.982, p = 0.00016, d = 1.040]. Linear regression analysis showed that the severity of positive symptoms predicted the occurrence of manic symptoms. This study could serve as a pilot study, observing manic symptoms in SSDs and as recruitment goes on, it is expected to yield more robust evidence of their prevalence in SSDs and their associations with clinical symptoms forming the phenotypic characterization basis for further dimensional research in the psychopathology and etiopathogenesis of SSDs.

Published: February 2025

Face spoofing detection is critical for biometric security systems to prevent unauthorized access. This study proposes a deep learning-based approach integrating FaceNet and DenseNet201 to enhance face spoofing detection performance. FaceNet generates identity-based embeddings, ensuring robust facial feature representation, while DenseNet201 extracts complementary texture-based features. These features are fused using the Concatenate function to form a more comprehensive representation for im-proved classification. The proposed method is evaluated on two widely used face spoofing datasets, NUAA Photograph Imposter and LCC-FASD, achieving 100% accuracy on NUAA and 99% on LCC-FASD. Ablation studies reveal that data augmentation does not always enhance performance, particularly on high-complexity datasets such as LCC-FASD, where augmentation increases the False Rejection Rate (FRR). Conversely, DenseNet201 benefits more from augmentation, while the proposed method performs best without augmentation. Comparative analysis with previous studies further confirms the superiority of the proposed approach in reducing error rates, particularly Half Total Error Rate (HTER), False Acceptance Rate (FAR), and FRR. These findings indicate that combining identity-based embeddings and texture-based feature extraction significantly improves spoofing detection and enhances model robustness across different attack scenarios. This study advances biometric security by introducing an efficient feature fusion strategy that strengthens deep learning-based spoof detection. Future research may explore further optimization strategies and evaluate the approach on more diverse datasets to enhance generalization.

FASTING: FROM CULTURAL PRACTICES TO HEALTH IMPLICATIONS
Authors:   University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Qayyum Abbas Ali
Published: February 2025

Fasting is a practice with deep cultural and religious significance, which has been a part of living for thousands of years across various civilizations and religions. Fasting during the Islamic month of Ramadan is a deeply spiritual and communal activity, promoting self-discipline, reflection and unity. Beyond its religious importance, fasting has gained attention for its potential therapeutic and health benefits, including increased longevity, enhanced metabolic health and improved organ function. At cellular level, fasting triggers autophagy and alters gene expression related to longevity. Fasting's influence extends to vital organs facilitating metabolic shifts, improving insulin sensitivity and promoting neurogenesis. Physiologically, fasting has been associated with weight loss, reduced inflammation and a lower risk of chronic diseases. Psychologically, fasting fosters resilience, self-discipline and spiritual growth. The communal aspects further enhance social cohesion. Furthermore, traditional practices, such as breaking the fast with dates, water or salt, hold both spiritual and nutritional significance. Despite its benefits, fasting requires careful consideration, particularly for vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, elderly and individuals with illnesses. In conclusion, fasting during Ramadan exemplifies a multifaceted approach to health and well-being, encompassing physical, psychological and social dimensions and warrants further scientific exploration to fully understand its wide-ranging impacts.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapidly progressive inflammatory disorder associated with cytopenia, splenomegaly, cytokine overproduction and hyperferritinemia. It is a rare but potentially fatal disorder, particularly in developing countries like India, Bangladesh and Nepal, often associated with infections such as enteric fever. Recognising HLH is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms of fever, cytopenia, and organ dysfunction and requires prompt identification and aggressive treatment. Molecular confirmation or fulfilment of specific clinical parameters is often difficult in resource-limited settings in these South Asian countries. Here, we present two cases, one woman in her 30s and a man in his 40s, both diagnosed with secondary HLH linked to enteric fever, showcasing the diagnostic challenges. Despite constraints in molecular testing, clinical and laboratory criteria were met, supporting the importance of early antibiotic intervention and supportive care to mitigate the high mortality associated with secondary HLH.

This document aims to study some of the financing strategies that promote access to the public higher education system in Colombia. It seeks to build the path of public policy recommendations, a forgivable financing scheme aimed at citizens of strata 1, 2 and 3 to access the official higher education system in the municipality of Soacha in Colombia. To achieve the above, the study proposes a non-experimental method, which stands out for using documentary research techniques for observation and a documentary analysis technique for educational public policy. In this sense, the strategy is framed in content analysis and has an eminently qualitative component. Under this method, it is possible to conclude that it is an economic, political and especially cultural challenge, access to higher education, which must be considered within the framework of equity and equality of social justice, leaving aside the government policies that generally vary in the shift of government resulting in dependence on personal volunteers. As a result, the fund administration funds guarantee the improvement of educational quality in terms of access and coverage. For the latter, they commit subsidized strategies where the favored students project their research initiatives in the territorial development of the regions from which they come.

Authors: Ilgizovna Shafeeva Elina , Rinatovich Miftakhov Ilnur
Published: February 2025

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the problems and prospects for the development of the Toratau Geopark as a key element of sustainable tourism and natural heritage conservation in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The study identified major management limitations of the geopark, such as insufficient marketing activity, seasonal fluctuations in tourist flows (with the summer season accounting for about 80% of total visits), limited financial resources (with approximately 16 million rubles invested in infrastructure), the need to enhance visitors' ecological awareness, and challenges in coordination with local organizations. Educational events are planned to manage the impact on natural sites and improve ecological awareness, as over 64.7% of visitors are interested in eco-tourism. The proposed solutions aim to improve coordination with local organizations, attract investors, and develop infrastructure. The results highlight the importance of a comprehensive approach to management, which will increase the geopark's attractiveness and ensure its sustainable development, including the preservation of natural heritage for future generations.
Multimodal Efficacy of Health Warnings on UK Cigarette Packages: A Cognitive-Semiotic Analysis
Authors: Sadallah Shatha H. , Halawachy Huda
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the impact of health warnings on cigarette packages in the UK. The common health warnings, their specific communicative functions and their effectiveness in influencing consumer behaviour and perception remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by employing a qualitative multimodal social semiotic analysis to understand how textual and pictorial warnings function to communicate health-related messages effectively. The theoretical frameworks guiding this analysis are Kress's approach (2010) Multimodal Social Semiotic and Forceville’s model (2020) of Visual and Multimodal Communication. Methodologically, the study focuses on a purposive sample of seven UK cigarette packages, analysing the warnings for their semiotic effectiveness and pragmatic functions. The study reveals effective health warnings on UK cigarette packages that integrate textual, visual, and design elements. The findings also highlight the importance of cognitive relevance, showing that warnings which balance cognitive effort with substantial rewards—like emotional impact—more effectively influence behaviour change. The study suggests that more effective health warnings on cigarette packages should use a strategic integration of text, imagery, and design. It also recommends regular updates to warning designs based on ongoing audience research and enhanced public engagement in the design process to ensure that warnings remain relevant and impactful.
The Role of Cognitive Biases in Financial Decision-Making
Authors: Kara Alara Uyvar
Published: February 2025

Financial decision-making is often assumed to be a rational process guided by logical assessments of risk and reward. However, research in behavioral finance has consistently demonstrated that cognitive biases—systematic deviations from rational judgment—play a crucial role in shaping investment behavior, corporate decision-making, and personal financial choices. Biases such as overconfidence, loss aversion, anchoring, and herd mentality influence how individuals and organizations perceive financial information and respond to uncertainty. These biases can lead to suboptimal decisions, speculative bubbles, and market inefficiencies. Understanding the psychological underpinnings of financial behavior is essential for investors, policymakers, and financial professionals aiming to mitigate risks associated with irrational decision-making. This paper explores the most prominent cognitive biases affecting financial decisions, their implications for market behavior, and strategies for minimizing their adverse effects. By integrating insights from behavioral economics, psychology, and finance, this study highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing these biases to foster more informed and stable financial markets.

Published: February 2025

Las leguminosas Gliricidia sepium (matarratón) y Erythrina poeppigiana (caraca) han sido ampliamente estudiadas como forrajes para alimentación animal; sin embargo, existe poca información en Ecuador, especialmente en la provincia de Cotopaxi, sobre su aporte de macro y micronutrientes cuando se utilizan como abono verde en sistemas agrícolas. Por ello, se estableció un ensayo en el Centro Experimental Sacha Wiwa con el objetivo de evaluar la dinámica de acumulación de nutrientes en la biomasa de estas especies en diferentes edades de corte (30, 45, 60 y 75 días). Se sembraron 200 plantas (100 por especie) y se midieron variables agronómicas como la longitud de las ramas, el diámetro del tallo y el número de ramas. Se realizaron análisis de suelo al inicio y final del experimento, y el procesamiento estadístico se llevó a cabo mediante la prueba t de Student. Los resultados indicaron que E. poeppigiana presentó la mayor longitud de rama (46,48-71,70 cm) y diámetro de tallo (2,15-2,51 cm) en todas las fases evaluadas, mientras que G. sepium mostró un mayor número de ramas (2,30-5,43) y un aporte superior de macronutrientes primarios entre los 30 y 60 días. Estos hallazgos sugieren que ambas especies pueden constituir una alternativa viable como biofertilizantes en cultivos agrícolas, favoreciendo el reciclaje de nutrientes en sistemas agroproductivos sostenibles.

medicina mediante sua eficiência e capacidade antisséptica, voltada a suas aplicações na área da saúde.
Metodologia: Estudo observacional descritivo mediante ao acesso de periódicos e revisões sistemáticas
nos sites Pubmed e Scielo, juntamente ao método booleano de pesquisa. Resultados e discussões: O
tratamento pelas tecnologias de plasma-activated water (PAW) em superfícies resulta na inativação de
micro-organismo mais rapidamente quando comparado aos métodos de antissepsia comumente
utilizados. Dentre os estudos atuais, a tecnologia do plasma frio (TPF) destaca-se à sua capacidade
antimicrobiana. Estudos apontam que o TPF atmosférico quando aplicado a grupos de A. streptococcus,
Staphylococcus aureus e em Pseudomonas aeruginosa apresentou resultados positivos como
bactericida. O mesmo estudo demonstra que a TPF aplicada a pacientes com o fungo Onicomicose
expuseram uma melhora de 19%; a interação com o vírus da Herpes zoster também demonstrou um
avanço considerável, com a redução da algia local e com o início da cura da ferida. Outro estudo revelou
sua capacidade no tratamento de inativação viral e imunomodulação. Além disso, experimentos
mostraram que uma mistura ativada por plasma atmosférico (PTW) reduziu efetivamente a carga viral do
SARS-CoV- 2 no intervalo de 50% a 84% da carga viral, levantando a possibilidade de seu uso na
desinfecção de superfícies hospitalares. Dentro da esfera oncológica, um estudo in vivo em ratos com
Melanoma maligno, demonstrou a aplicabilidade dessa ferramenta. O tratamento induziu a ablação dos
tumores e a sua consequente redução, além de prolongar a vida das espécies para 34 dias, quando
comparada ao grupo controle (23 dias). A análise realizada no Instituto nacional de câncer em Bethesda
nos Estados Unidos demonstrou que a associação da TPF de argônio com a eletroquimioterapia resultou
no retardo da expansão tumoral e pode ser um potencial tratamento alternativo para pacientes paliativos
de Melanoma maligno. Conclusão: A TFP ascendeu como uma forma eficaz na ação antisséptica. Ela
se manifesta como uma ferramenta de ações diversificadas dentro de múltiplas áreas da medicina, como
na dermatologia, oncologia e medicina regenerativa. Entretanto, a carência de pesquisas desse método
ainda se revela como uma barreira significativa à implementação efetiva dessa tecnologia na esfera da saúde, outras evidências forneceriam uma melhor compreensão acerca da TFP.

Introdução: O líquen plano bucal (LPB) é uma doença crônica de etiologia desconhecida, que afeta
predominantemente mulheres de meia-idade. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), o LPB
é considerado uma desordem potencialmente maligna, embora essa questão seja controversa na
literatura. Alguns estudos indicam a possibilidade de transformação maligna, enquanto outros não
corroboram essa associação. Objetivos: Esta revisão visa explorar a literatura existente sobre o potencial
de malignização do líquen plano bucal. Material e Métodos: Foram selecionados artigos científicos
disponíveis no PubMed que abordam a relação entre o LPB e o desenvolvimento de câncer. Resultados
e Discussão: A literatura indica que a forma erosiva do líquen plano bucal apresenta um risco aumentado
de malignização. Características histológicas, como atipia celular e infiltração linfocitária, têm sido
associadas a um maior risco de neoplasias. Fatores como a duração das lesões, presença de dor e resposta
ao tratamento também podem influenciar esse potencial. A literatura destaca a importância do
acompanhamento regular e da realização de biópsias em casos suspeitos, reforçando a necessidade de
um manejo clínico rigoroso. Conclusão: A relação entre o LPB e seu potencial maligno permanece um
tema de debate entre os profissionais de saúde. Embora existam evidências que sugerem maior risco,
especialmente nas formas erosivas, são necessárias mais pesquisas para esclarecer os mecanismos
envolvidos e estabelecer diretrizes claras para o manejo clínico. O reconhecimento precoce e o
acompanhamento adequado das lesões de LPB são fundamentais para prevenir complicações malignas.

Introdução: O cuidado familiar é uma abordagem essencial na atenção primária à saúde, especialmente
em populações idosas com múltiplas comorbidades. Este trabalho, realizado por acadêmicos de
Medicina, relata a intervenção em uma família acompanhada pela Unidade de Saúde da Família Pastor
Marcelino Deungaro, localizada em Fernandópolis-SP. O foco foi em dois casos índices: uma idosa
acamada diagnosticada com Alzheimer, hipertensão arterial e sequelas de acidente vascular encefálico,
e seu esposo, que também apresenta hipertensão e sintomas de depressão. Objetivos: Implementar
intervenções centradas na família, utilizando ferramentas de abordagem familiar, com o intuito de
fortalecer os vínculos e melhorar a qualidade de vida dos membros da família. Material e Métodos: O
estudo foi conduzido por acadêmicos de Medicina durante visitas domiciliares. Foram utilizados
instrumentos de abordagem familiar, como o APGAR Familiar, genograma, ecomapa e escalas
específicas (Braden, Coelho Savassi, Miniexame do Estado Mental). As intervenções foram baseadas
nos dados coletados, com foco na promoção da saúde e apoio aos cuidadores. Resultados e Discussão:
As intervenções mostraram uma família funcional, mas com disfunções moderadas, especialmente no
cuidado dos idosos acamados e na sobrecarga do cuidador. A paciente índice apresentava comorbidades
que impactavam significativamente sua qualidade de vida, demandando intervenções contínuas. Foi
identificada a necessidade de fortalecer o vínculo com a equipe de saúde e ajustar as intervenções às
limitações dos membros idosos. O APGAR Familiar e a Escala Coelho Savassi revelaram que, apesar
das dificuldades, a família contava com um suporte social e organizacional adequados. Conclusão: A
abordagem domiciliar realizada por acadêmicos de Medicina revelou-se uma estratégia eficaz para a
promoção de saúde e melhoria da qualidade de vida de famílias com idosos acamados e com múltiplas
comorbidades. A utilização de ferramentas de avaliação familiar, como APGAR, genograma e escalas
específicas, possibilitou uma visão holística da dinâmica familiar e das necessidades individuais de
saúde, permitindo intervenções direcionadas. A sobrecarga dos cuidadores e o vínculo enfraquecido com
a equipe de saúde foram os principais desafios identificados, sugerindo a necessidade de apoio contínuo
e intervenções personalizadas para fortalecer o cuidado familiar. Essas experiências enriquecem a
formação acadêmica, promovendo um aprendizado prático essencial para futuros profissionais de saúde.

Introdução: A queilite angular é uma inflamação que afeta as comissuras labiais e está
frequentemente associada a infecções fúngicas, como Candida albicans. A condição é comum em
pessoas idosas que apresentam redução da dimensão vertical de oclusão e sulcos acentuados nas
comissuras labiais. Clinicamente, manifesta-se por eritema, fissuras e descamação. Objetivos: Este
trabalho tem como finalidade relatar um caso de uma paciente diagnosticada com Queilite angular.
Material e Métodos: Paciente sexo feminino, de 58 anos, leucoderma, buscou atendimento
odontológico com queixa principal de “feridas no canto da boca, lado direito, que causa desconforto
ao falar, comer e ao abrir a boca”. Entre as comorbidades apresentadas estavam diabetes, hipertensão,
fibromialgia e artrite reumatoide. A paciente faz uso contínuo de insulina, metformina, atenolol,
losartana, sertralina e prednisona. Ao exame clínico, foi identificada uma diminuição da dimensão
vertical de oclusão, além de uma úlcera dolorosa na comissura labial direita, com sinais inflamatórios
ao redor e escamas secas na superfície. Na comissura labial esquerda, observou-se uma lesão
eritematosa comfissuras. Resultados ediscussão: Diante dessas características clínicas, o diagnóstico
estabelecido foi de queilite angular. O tratamento eficaz inclui o uso de antifúngicos tópicos e
cuidados com a higiene oral. Conclusão: Foi recomendado o uso de Daktarin gel oral, cujo princípio
ativo, o miconazol, possui ação antifúngica eficaz contra os agentes causadores de infecções. O
medicamento deve ser aplicado diretamente nas áreas afetadas da boca, visando um tratamento eficaz
da queilite angular.
