CUMPLIMIENTO DE LAS PRESTACIONES A EMPLEADOS DE EMPRESAS DE OUTSOURCING EN MÉXICO
Authors: López Rafael Díaz , Tecillo Francisco Javier Jimenez , Magaña Sergio Alfonso Tosca
Published: September 2022

Outsourcing has caused a lot of controversy since there is so much confusion both from the employer's area and those who are hired by outsourcing companies, although the authorities over the years have tried to regulate and delimit this type of hiring, there are still many loopholes where the rights of workers are unprotected and even tax evasion by companies. It is believed that more than 50% of the workers that are related to Outsourcing labor contracts do not know or ignore what it entails to accept this type of labor contract, since in some cases their labor rights may be violated and since they do not know about the subject, they cannot defend themselves before their employers.

Published: September 2022

Background: Thyroid disorders impact the cardiovascular system associated with a significantly increased risk of vascular morbidity and mortality. We undertook this study to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to study the impact of thyroid dysfunction on morbidity and mortality among those patients during 1 year follow up. Methods: We studied consecutive 303 hospitalized patients between March 2018-February 2021 with ACS to determine features of thyroid dysfunction both clinical and sub-clinical and their effect on MACE at 1 year follow up. All patients were subjected to clinical examination and routine investigations. Results: Nineteen (19%) patients had thyroid dysfunction. Majority had subclinical hypothyroidism 34 (11%), followed by overt hypothyroidism 20 (7%). Hyperthyroidism was uncommon (1.3%). There was a predilection for females and elderly. Majority 136 (45%) patients had STEMI. MACE rates were higher in thyroid dysfunction group 14 (30.5%) vs 36 (19.6%) euthyroid group. Likewise incidence of rehospitalization due to CV cause was significantly higher in thyroid dysfunction group 32.2% vs 19.7% in euthyroid group (p=0.0374). Conclusions: Hypothyroidism is an important risk factor in ACS patients especially in elderly female population. A clear trend towards higher MACE is seen in thyroid dysfunction patients.

Published: September 2022

Cannabis sativa L. is one of the oldest medicinal plants used by human. The plant has also been used for fiber, oil production and simply as additive for food products. Cannabis plant extract may be used for anti-bacterial activity. Bacteria present naturally on the skin, in the gut and in the slime of live fish although. They are not harmful for the fish. But fish get infected with most micro-organisms due to various causes. The goal of this study was to identify the targeted bacteria from mucus and gut of tilapia fish, to study the antimicrobial resistance of isolated bacteria. Thirty samples of Oreochromis mossambicus were collected from Tounsa Head Barrage, Punjab Pakistan. Mucus was collected through spatula. In the laboratory, fish was dissected; gut was removed with the help of a sterile dissecting box. Bacteria were isolated and grown on nutrient agar. E. coli, Staphylococcus spp, Klebsiella spp, B. cereus were isolated from the gut and the mucus while Enterobacter bugandensis was separated from the gut only of the fish. Anti-microbial activity test was done then measure the zone of inhibition in mm. The cannabis showed higher inhibition in growth of E. coli, and Klebseilla spp., while cannabis plant extract showed less inhibition in growth of Staphylococcus spp, Enterobacter bugandensis and B. cereus. It was concluded from our research that the cannabis may be used to develop antibacterial medicines.

Published: September 2022

The aim of the research was an empirical study of the effectiveness of distance learning in pedagogical HEIs of Ukraine under the martial law. The research involved surveying the subjects of the educational process of Ukrainian HEIs. The survey respondents were the students of pedagogical educational institutions, teachers studying at the advanced training courses, academic staff. The criteria for assessing the effectiveness of distance learning in times of war were the possibility and quality of feedback, access to educational/didactic and methodological content, the possibility and frequency of monitoring performance, consultations, meeting deadlines, interactivity, technical capabilities of Internet access. The survey evidenced the negative impact of the martial law on online learning, the limited interactivity of classes, the unsystematic consultations and monitoring, and poor-quality communication between the subjects of the online educational process. At the same time, the positive impact of the varied approaches of teachers to presenting educational materials to students on the effectiveness of distance learning was confirmed. As a result, students with different technical capabilities were able to access the educational content provided by the curricula. The results of the study can be used by other HEIs of Ukraine in the context of sharing progressive pedagogical practices of distance learning organization in times of war. Further studies involve expanding the research, generalizing the unique experience of higher education of Ukraine in providing distance learning in crisis conditions, and sharing it with the world scientific communities.

The existence of Port Jangkar has a very important role in supporting economic activities and equitable development in Situbondo since water transport is one of the modes of transportation that connects the island of Java and Madura Island. This study uses a quantitative approach. The theory used is proposed by Supranto (1990). The results showed that the productivity of freight traffic crossings serving Jangkar-Kalianget experienced decrease in revenue both passenger and goods transport by an average of 16, 6 percent. Based on the results of forecasting, demand for transportation, Break Even Point (BEP) load factor of 21 percent was achieved in 2011. In 2012, the company suffered losses in terms of transportation operating income due to declining productivity of vessel transport. In 2012 cruise companies suffered losses due to large vessel operating expenses exceeded the income from the vessel (BOK> Revenue) with the operational costs of Rp297,763,505; and vessels revenue of Rp2,709,255,500. Thus, in 2012 it was needed to subsidize the sustainability of Ferry transportation, because the Ferry transport activities cross Jangkar-Kalianget- Sapudi Island still has the potential transport demand and still needed the surrounding community.

Transatlantic cooperation on the Indo-Pacific: European and US priorities, partners and platforms
Authors: Schneider-Petsinger Marianne , Nouwens Veerle , Billon-Galland Alice , Cainey Andrew , Price Gareth
Published: September 2022

With the global economic and strategic centre of gravity shifting eastwards, both Europe and the US are unsurprisingly placing greater focus on the Indo-Pacific. Their respective approaches to the region often overlap but diverge on significant points. These include the level of priority given to the region, the principal issues to tackle, the key partners for cooperation and the most useful platforms for engagement. The transatlantic partners recognize the need to make their Indo-Pacific policies and strategies more coherent and effective. Opportunities exist for a Europe–US ‘division of labour’ across the Indo-Pacific, based on factors such as existing diplomatic and economic ties, geographical presence or thematic expertise. Meanwhile, ‘minilateral’ initiatives like the G7, the Quad and AUKUS have the potential to become more influential forums and synergies between them would reduce duplication of effort via new structures. This paper explores the factors enabling or inhibiting transatlantic cooperation, before outlining the priorities, partners and platforms for European and US engagement on and in the Indo-Pacific.
English Medium Publications: Opening or Closing Doors to Authors with Non-English Language Backgrounds
Authors: Alsabahi Randa
Published: September 2022

This critical exploratory study aims to examine the role academic brokers play in opening (or not) the gates to non-first-language-English (NFLE) scholars to contribute to the global research conversation. For the study, a qualitative research approach was used to collect data; ten emergent and established researchers were interviewed, all of whom originated from non-Anglophone countries. Four academic brokers were also interviewed to further examine the topic from their viewpoints. The findings revealed that revisions recommended by journal editors and reviewers could perhaps diminish the richness of texts and ultimately affect the voices NFLE authors try to project in their papers. Findings also showed that academic brokers are cognizant of the problems NFLE authors face when writing for publication, especially those pertaining to the quality of their writing and to the ways they respond to reviewers’ suggestions and handle the review process.
The Examination of the Use of Media Content in Turkey’s Social Studies Textbooks in Light of UNESCO’s MIL’s Curriculum
Authors: Sensekerci Erkan
Published: September 2022

This study aims to analyse the media excerpts found in the officially approved textbooks for the social studies course in Turkey from the perspective of the thematic areas included in UNESCO MIL’s [Media and Information Literacy] Curriculum. In the study, the descriptive analysis method was applied and the data were collected using document analysis. In order to determine whether the examined media excerpts contribute to the UNESCO’s MIL Curriculum achievements defined for these thematic areas, 11 research questions were prepared. In the first stage of the study, a checklist was prepared based on an examination of the UNESCO MIL’s Curriculum. In the second stage, the textbooks to be analysed were selected by the convenience sampling method, taking into account the textbook production policy carried out under the authority of the Ministry of National Education. The study, which examined 6 different textbooks approved for the 5th, 6th and 7th grades of secondary school, revealed that although the media excerpts are sufficient in number, they fail to reflect the diversity in the national and/or regional media. Moreover, these media excerpts are utilised primarily for the specific purposes of the course, and, naturally, they do not make a significant contribution to media literacy education. In conclusion, the reviewed media excerpts hardly meet the criteria for the thematic areas upon which UNESCO MIL’s Curriculum is based. Within the context of the findings and conclusions of the study, a set of recommendations has been shared with people and institutions operating in the fields of social studies textbooks and media literacy.

LEVEL AND EFFICIENCY OF USING PRODUCTION RESOURCES FOOD INDUSTRY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES
Authors: Juchniewicz Małgorzata
Published: September 2022

The research problem presented in the article concerned the diversification of the level and effectiveness of the use of production resources in the food industry in the EU countries. Production resources were determined on the basis of the number of entities and employees in food producing enterprises. The effectiveness of their use was also measured by calculating the productivity indicators. In the article, the partial productivity was calculated on the basis of the value of sold production per one employee and one economic entity. Changes in the production resources of the food industry in the EU countries and the efficiency of their use were determined in 2005, 2010 and 2019. The results of the research indicate that the largest production resources and production volume of the food industry were found in Germany, France, Italy and Spain. In terms of employment, Poland played a significant role. The efficiency of the use of factors of production, measured by productivity indicators, was the highest in Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands. On this basis, it can be concluded that regardless of the adopted measure of productivity, these countries make the best use of their production resources. By far the lowest levels of productivity in the food industry were recorded in Bulgaria and Romania.

MapAI: Precision in Building Segmentation is a competition arranged with the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium (NORA) in collaboration with Centre for Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Agder (CAIR), the Norwegian Mapping Authority, AI:Hub, Norkart, and the Danish Agency for Data Supply and Infrastructure. The competition will be held in the fall of 2022. It will be concluded at the Northern Lights Deep Learning conference focusing on the segmentation of buildings using aerial images and laser data. We propose two different tasks to segment buildings, where the first task can only utilize aerial images, while the second must use laser data (LiDAR) with or without aerial images. Furthermore, we use IoU and Boundary IoU to properly evaluate the precision of the models, with the latter being an IoU measure that evaluates the results' boundaries. We provide the participants with a training dataset and keep a test dataset for evaluation.
How to build a tooth? Developmental biology is revealing the instructions
Authors: Thesleff Irma
Published: September 2022

Få, om noen områder kan vise til en slik utvikling som bioteknologien har vært igjennom de siste årene. Metoder som for kort tid siden ble ansett som «science fiction», har i høyeste grad kvittet seg med «fiction»-begrepet, og molekylærbiologiske teknikker ser nå ut til å åpne for totalt nye muligheter innen både diagnostikk og behandling av sykdommer. Utviklingsbiologiens oppgave i denne sammenhengen er bl.a. å beskrive de prosesser og signalveier som fører til at ulike vev og organer dannes. Arbeidet som er gjort innen dette feltet har identifisert flere mekanismer som er nødvendige for vellykket og synkronisert utvikling av et organ eller sogar et individ. Det har også ført til identifisering av flere enkeltgener som, når de er uttrykt på feil sted eller til feil tid, kan føre til store misdannelser. Kartleggingen av disse mekanismene kan på sikt gi oss mulighet til å dyrke frem «kunstige» organer. Dette vil naturligvis kunne ha stor betydning ved agenesier eller patologiske prosesser. Tannanlegget er en klassisk og svært velegnet modell for å beskrive signalveiene som fører til dannelsen av et funksjonelt organ. Den systematiske forskningen som er utført innen dette feltet gjør også tennene til aktuelle kandidater for organer som lar seg fremstille kunstig. For som artikkelen antyder: Kjenner man mekanismene bak den naturlige utviklingen, har man også oppskriften.

Professor Irma Thesleff har i en årrekke figurert blant verdens ledende utviklingsbiologer, med særlig fokus på mekanismer som regulerer tannutviklingen. Hun ble tildelt Anders Jahres store medisinske pris for 1999.

Finn årsaken til xerostomi. Dersom årsaken kan fastslås, forsøk å eliminere den. Dette kan løse problemet eller i det minste redusere symptomene.

Hvis årsaken ikke kan fastslås, eller hvis årsaksrettet behandling bare delvis lindrer xerostomi, anbefales salivastimulerende midler.

Hvis salivasekresjon ikke kan stimuleres tilstrekkelig, anbefales salivaerstatningsmidler.

Vurder hvilke andre tiltak som kan iverksettes for å bevare og beskytte tenner, tannkjøtt og munnslimhinne.
Perifert ossifiserende fibrom – en vanskelig klinisk diagnose
Authors: Grung Bjarte , Johannessen Anne Christine
Published: September 2022

Hovedbudskap

Perifert ossifiserende fibrom (POF) er en lesjon som oftest er lokalisert til marginale gingiva

Utveksten kan klinisk være vanskelig å skille fra pyogent (telangiektatisk) granulom og perifert kjempecellegranulom

Vanskeligheten ligger i at bendannelsen ikke fremkommer på et vanlig intraoralt røntgenbilde

Lesjonens farge kan være rød med tendens til ulcerasjon eller ha rosa farge som normal gingiva

Lesjonen har residivtendens og bør kontrolleres hos egen tannlege

Klinisk relevans

Det er vigtigt, at klinikere har indsigt i og forståelse for, at det påvirker den orale sundhed og sundhedsadfærden, når man lever på kanten af samfundet. Det er også vigtigt at anerkende, at sådanne patientgrupper kan have behov for andre tandplejeydelser og behandlingsplaner end «almindelige» patienter, fordi borgere i udkanten af samfundet ofte har en række sociale problemer, som kan påvirke både deres subjektive behandlingsbehov, men også mulighederne for at gennemføre den planlagte behandling.

Mukosal CD30+ lymfoproliferativ sykdom har de senere årene blitt betegnet som en egen klinisk og patologisk entitet

Klinikk og utvikling av tilstanden er svært viktig i diagnostiseringen

Tilstanden kan være vanskelig å skille fra primært T- celle lymfom, og feildiagnostisering kan resultere i overbehandling

Det foreligger ikke noe fast behandlingsprotokoll for mukosal CD30+ lymfoproliferativ sykdom

Authors: Arosha K.P.L. , Sarvananda L.
Published: September 2022

Organic agriculture has become a rising topic nowadays for control of soil pollution, degradation and to ensure food security. Organic manures and bio fertilizers play a vital role in that process. Vermicomposting tea is a liquid organic bio fertilizer and it is composed of plant nutrient, plant hormone and microorganism (aerobic microorganisms) such as beneficial bacteria and fungi which enrich soil. Aerobic microorganisms present in vermicomposting tea helps in disease suppression and application of vermicomposting tea will promote plant growth. Vermicomposting tea can be defined as the mixture of aerobic microbes present in vermicomposting with aerated water. These characters of vermicomposting tea helps to use it as liquid biofertilizer, or can be used in biochar activation or charging and can be used as a substrate for hydrophonics system. Tea brewers are used to brew vermicomposting tea. Fresh vermicomposting tea contain more aerobic microbes but with the time the quality of tea become lower and need to add some materials like molasses, brown sugar and need frequent aeration as the aerated tea is more stabilized and give good results in crop production. There are several advantages of such as it is a liquid bio fertilizer which can easily apply, enrich soil with beneficial microbiota, great source of macro and micro nutrients, boosts rhizosphere microbial activity. The limitation is that difficulties in maintain quality while storage but it has great potential to be use in organic agriculture with low cost, eco-friendly and in an efficient way.

Published: September 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is currently the second most common neurodegenerative disease. The pathological features of PD are degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the brain, which leads to motor retardation, rigidity, quiescence, tremor, postural instability, smell disorders, pain, sleep disorders, depression and other non-motor symptoms Although the etiology of PD is still not fully understood, the occurrence of oxidative stress has been closely related to the pathogenesis of PD for a long time However, as there are many side effects of known PD treatment drugs, and there is a lack of effective treatment means to control the disease by inhibiting oxidative stress pathway, controlling the progression of PD disease by inhibiting oxidative stress has become a new direction of modification therapy. At present, a large number of studies have focused on the process of inhibiting oxidative stress. In this paper, a brief review of previous studies was made to provide new clinical ideas for the treatment of PD.

As global warming becomes more serious in the 21st century, efforts are being made around the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse gas reduction objective is set in 2009 to be a 30% emission forecast and set to low carbon emissions. There are several grids which are using coal for generating electricity. As a result, the environment has got more pollutants and the world needs reducing such type of pollution for a green world. Then the concept of integration of renewable energy sources is coming to force. Their integration of such sources is providing the opportunity of availability of power with less pollution of the environment. A smart grid was developed and applied to the field as a system that can manage the energy in a smart environment. In this paper, a comparative study is performed about the performance of Integrated Technology in a smart environment.

CoFFee: A Co-occurrence and Frequency-Based Approach to Schema Mining
Authors: Costa Neto Everaldo , Moreira Johny , Barbosa Luciano , Salgado Ana Carolina
Published: September 2022

A wide range of applications use semi-structured data. A characteristic of these data is that they are heterogeneous and do not follow a predefined schema, i.e., schema-less. The lack of structure makes it difficult to use this data since many applications depend on it to perform their tasks. Thus, we propose CoFFee, a schema mining approach that, given a set of heterogeneous schemas, provides a summarized schema containing a set of core attributes. To this end, CoFFee uses a strategy that combines co-occurrence and frequency of attributes. It models a set of entity schemas as a graph and uses centrality metrics to capture the co-occurrence between attributes. We evaluated CoFFee using data extracted from six DBpedia classes and compared it with two state-of-the-art approaches. The results achieved show that CoFFee produces a summarized schema of good quality, outperforming the baselines by an average of 22% of the F1 score.

Modern machine learning algorithms must be able to fast consume data streams, maintaining accurate results, even with the presence of concept drift. This work proposes AFXGB, an Adaptive Fast binary classification algorithm using XGBoost, focusing on the fast induction of labeled data streams. AFXGB uses an alternate model training strategy to achieve lean models adapted to concept drift. We compared AFXGB with other data stream classifiers using synthetic and real datasets. The results showed that AFXGB is four times faster than ARF and 22 times faster than AXGB, maintaining the same accuracy and with the fastest recovery from concept drifts, thus preserving long-term accuracy.

Published: September 2022

Natural Language Processing for Low Resource Languages is challenging. The lack of large-scale datasets affects the performance of data-hungry algorithms. To overcome this, we employ data augmentation to enlarge the training data for the task of response selection in multi-turn retrieval-based chatbots. We automatically translated a large-scale English dataset to Brazilian Portuguese (PT_BR) and used it to train a deep neural network. For a COVID-19 chatbot system, our results show that the combination of training with the translated dataset followed by a fine-tuning with the context-specific dataset provides the best results in terms of recall for all studied models. In addition, we make available the translated large-scale PT_BR dataset.

Estratégias de aprendizagem de máquina são cada vez mais utilizadas em processos de tomada de decisões em diversas áreas de conhecimento devido à abundância de dados existentes atualmente. Embora esperava-se que tal aplicação solucionasse o problema da parcialidade inerente aos seres humanos, notou-se que alguns modelos apresentavam comportamentos enviesados em relação a grupos historicamente discriminados por refletirem preconceitos existentes nos conjuntos de dados utilizados. Este problema tem despertado grande interesse acadêmico nos últimos anos e diversas definições, métricas e metodologias têm sido propostas para garantir justiça nestes contextos. Uma área em particular é a de Sistemas de Recomendação, onde o objetivo é recomendar itens relevantes para os usuários e, em alguns contextos, não é desejável que estas recomendações estejam associadas a atributos protegidos destes usuários. Este problema pode ser caracterizado como justiça de grupo, na qual grupos de usuários são tratados igualmente no Sistema de Recomendação. Neste trabalho, analisamos a eficácia do uso de regularização com objetivo de justiça de grupo em um Sistema de Recomendação de filmes para homens e mulheres utilizando duas métricas propostas inspiradas em justiça de grupo em classificação. Os resultados empíricos mostram que esta estratégia melhora os resultados em relação às métricas e tem baixo impacto na qualidade final da recomendação.
